Chapter 294: The First Seven and the Business of Dreams (4,000 Words)

"I am Liu Changgen!"

Old man Liu hurriedly walked to the table and glanced at the laptops here with some surprise.

Although he was too old to keep up with the times when he was in the world, he also knew some new technologies, such as the existence of this kind of laptop.

My grandson often plays games on the Internet.

It's just that I didn't expect that there was such a thing in the underworld?

This doesn't seem to be the same as the legend!

But it's not their turn to think about this kind of thing.

Maybe it's because the yin gods in the underworld are more in line with the trend?

He only dared to sneak a glance before quickly retracting his gaze, honestly bowing his head and waiting for the hair to fall.

Until now, he hadn't figured out what his ghosts were summoned for.

In this group of ghosts, he has also seen several old acquaintances and old friends from the past, all of whom know the roots, and know that the other party's character is still good, they are all honest people, and they are more in line with the requirements mentioned by the ghost pawn before.

However, he is one of the longest-lived ones, and the rest have been dead for a long time. At that time, when he was in the mortal world, he lived in the ward to recuperate, and often took out the previous photos of these old friends to look back, and lamented the impermanence of life.

I was startled by the affectionate greetings and hugs I suddenly met just now, but I was relieved when I realized that I was in the underworld.

But there is still something unspeakably strange in my heart.

Glancing back, he saw that his old friend was cheering him on in the ghost group, and he felt a little comforted.

The ghost pawn glanced up at him, and then compared the information on the screen: "Liu Changgen...... Well, if you meet the conditions, give it, this is your ID card, take it, but if you reissue it, it will cost money, and you can't afford it now. ”

"ID card?"

Liu Changgen was completely stunned, and after urging, he hurriedly took a small silver-white card from the other party's hand.

It's your own message written on it.

But the date of birth on it became the date of death, which is the day he came to the underworld.

After receiving the card, he was asked to wait on the sidelines, and then people whose names were called came forward one after another.

Some of them can be collected directly like him, and of course, some of them are incomplete and need to be registered separately.

Liu Changgen found that there was one thing in common with these incomplete information, most of them were not natives of Nanjiang City, but they were just unlucky enough to die here.

After most of the people here had already collected it, a ghost pawn led the way, shouting loudly as he walked.

"You all come with me, then you have to listen to Lord Chenghuang's speech, keep my eyes open and concentrate, don't go wrong, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

"Lord Chenghuang?!"

These ghosts naturally know that this is the legendary City God Temple, and their reincarnation requires the nod of the City God, which can almost be said to be in charge of their life and death.

When he heard that Lord Chenghuang wanted to see them, he naturally panicked.

"Could it be that we have done something wrong and are going to be punished?"

"No, I was honest and peaceful when I was alive......"

"Didn't that ghost pawn say he was going to take us to a good place? Wouldn't it be here? ”

Sit and watch, this side is extremely desolate, there is an impenetrable dense fog in the distance, the cold swishing is particularly mad, not to mention the howling and moaning of some unknown monsters, it is not a good place at first glance.

"This place looks like one of those execution grounds! We're not going to be beheaded here, are we? ”

Although these ghosts did not dare to make a loud noise, the tension and fear in their hearts could not be suppressed, and they whispered left and right.

And Liu Changgen also took the opportunity to secretly squeeze to the back and walk with his old friend Old Man Wang.

At least there is someone you know who can help each other a little bit, and you can feel a little more at ease.

"You don't know what?"

But he couldn't help but ask in a whisper.

After all, the other party came to this underworld one step ahead of him, so he should be more familiar with it.

"Where can I know what's going on," Old Man Wang shook his head, then rolled his eyes, and whispered, "But I happened to hear those ghost pawns mention something when I was helping them with their work, maybe it has something to do with it." ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Changgen became interested.

"It seems that we may have a chance to go back to the mortal world to see our relatives!" Old man Wang is a mysterious and secret way.

"Really?!" Liu Changgen's eyes widened instantly, a little incredulous.

"I can't say if it's true or not, it's definitely a good thing anyway." Old man Wang touched his beard, "Those ghost pawns used to talk with a smile, maybe it will come true." ”

"Well, if only I could go back and see my precious grandson." Liu Changgen couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Although his sons and daughters are not very presentable, and even before he died, he didn't see them visit several times and grabbed the inheritance, but the grandson was very well-behaved, which made him love him very much.

The only thing he can't worry about is that grandson.

And, of course, the bank card that I hid and didn't have time to tell the kids the password.

I have all my pension in it!

With his sudden death, it is estimated that the family has already quarreled now.

He couldn't help but sigh, only to feel even more sad in his heart.

Just as they were thinking, they had already arrived at the place.

Right in the heart of this desolate area.

The ghost pawn motioned for them to hurry up and keep quiet, as if the speech was about to begin.

Liu Changgen looked up curiously, only to see that there was nothing in the front.

Just as they were wondering, they suddenly saw a dazzling golden light burst out from the City God Temple and levitate above their heads, and then, a majestic human figure appeared in mid-air, instantly attracting everyone's eyes.

It's just that the ordinary ghost just glanced at it and felt that his eyes seemed to be pricked by a needle, so he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it again, but he had an intuition in his heart: "That must be the City God!" ”

I don't know who knelt down first, and soon a group of ghosts knelt down in horror, and some of the more timid ones even began to kowtow.

There was some commotion at the scene for a while.

It wasn't until Su Bai raised his hand in the air that the ghosts felt the pressure on their shoulders lighten, and they didn't have the terrible sense of oppression before.

But at this time, they did not dare to look up, for fear of anger and disaster.

And Su Bai, who was in mid-air, glanced at the ghosts, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you are all a little apprehensive at the moment, and I don't know what is the big deal about summoning you. And you can rest assured that this is a good thing for you. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it could be regarded as stabilizing the mood of many ghosts.

Su Bai continued: "Now that the underworld is expanding day by day, and the population is gradually increasing, it is obvious that the City God Temple alone is no longer enough to support it. Today, the city god has summoned you here to build the first experimental ghost town in the underworld, with you as the first batch of residents! ”

"What is a ghost town?"

"Do you want to build a city in this underworld?"

"And we turned out to be the first residents?!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused a burst of discussion below.

It was the first time they had heard of such a thing, and it sounded very new.

It wasn't until the ghost guards in charge of maintaining order coughed a few times to calm them down that Su Baifang continued.

"This ghost town can be used as a place for the souls of the deceased to rest and live in the process of coming to the underworld after death and queuing up to prepare for reincarnation."

"But there is only one piece of land here as you see, and there is nothing else for you, if you want any daily necessities to enjoy life, you can use the currency of our prefecture to buy it!"

"And this currency is the ...... of incense"

What Su Bai said next was exactly the rough plan he had envisioned before.

And incense is also the key that the relatives in the mortal world need when they burn things to the underworld.

In addition, Su Bai also plans to open another shop similar to a supermarket here, which sells all kinds of things he has collected from the mortal world, and the currency is also incense.

As for the source of the incense of these ghosts -

There is incense for the gods in the mortal world, and there is also incense for the ancestors who have passed away, and the essence of the two is similar, but they cannot be used against each other because of the difference in the recipients of the incense.

Su Bai has tried this many times.

Even if he is a city god, it is impossible to borrow divine power to forcibly snatch incense from other people's graves, that is against the laws of heaven, and if he insists on going his own way, he will likely be punished.

He didn't want to take that risk, and he didn't have to.

He can only enjoy incense that others have given to him, directly or indirectly.

However, as long as he uses a trick similar to "trading", he can legally and legally obtain incense from others for his own use.

For example, the post office business he will carry out in the future, as well as those supermarket shopping and the like, most of them are like this.

In this way, although the ants are small, they are also meat, and the accumulation of small amounts is also a source of incense that should not be underestimated.

Maybe it can lay a solid foundation for him on the road to becoming the Lord of Hades in the future!

It's a bit of a long way off, though.

And the ghosts below couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't close their mouths for a while, and then they were faintly excited.

They thought that after they died, they would come to the underworld to suffer and suffer, and it would be good if they could be reincarnated as soon as possible.

I didn't expect that after arriving in the underworld, I would have this opportunity to enjoy life again.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but smile, and once again thanked Lord Chenghuang for his kindness.

The ID card will also become their bank card, and the power of the incense they receive can be exchanged for currency by a special ghost guard at the City God Temple, and stored in it to ensure that it can be accessed at any time.

And what I'm going to talk about today is just one of them.

"In addition, our prefecture plans to carry out welfare activities for you, the first seven ......"

"No matter how you died, on the seventh day after death, you can go back to the place where you were alive under the care of the ghost guard, or see your loved ones who can't let go, or look back on your ......."

"First Seven?!"

"Can you really go back and see?"

Suddenly, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Other material comforts are just that, many of them are old people who are dying of old age, and they also look down on these.

The most unbearable thing is my relatives and friends.

If they can go back to see the last side after they die, then they are willing to give everything!

And Liu Changgen was also so excited that his body was trembling, and his elbow touched the old man Wang next to him, who had a somewhat dull look.

"Lao Wang, I can go back and see my good grandson!"

It's just that Old Man Wang was a little reluctant after laughing, and said worriedly.

"But what about those of us who have been dead for more than seven days?"

It stands to reason that they don't have a chance.

And that's exactly what happened.

Sure enough, Su Bai then said: "If the date of death has exceeded this period, naturally you can't go back." ”

Suddenly, there was a sigh of extreme disappointment from below, and many ghosts had even begun to wipe their tears, wondering if they were hating themselves for dying too early.

However, when they heard Su Bai's next sentence, they all stopped their movements again, revealing a look of shock.

"But this city god's house is kind-hearted, and it is quite pitiful to take care of your relatives, so it provides these ghosts with another business - dreams!"

"If the time of death is more than seven days, you can choose to pay to entrust our ghost pawn to apply for a dream. As long as the reason is right, and there is no bad purpose, we can allow a chance to dream. ”

"Of course, we will also supervise the dream in real time, if you want to harm others, then we will immediately interrupt the dream and punish accordingly!"

This is also one of the ways that Su Bai considered to spread the ghost city of the underworld.

After all, the number of ghosts returning home for the first seven is still too small, and if these deceased can take the opportunity of their dreams to send messages to their relatives who are still alive, then it will definitely be of great use.

And this news also caused a lot of shock in the crowd, even no less than the first seven souls just now!

After all, most of these ghosts have been dead for more than seven days, and they are worried that they will not have a chance to see their loved ones again.

Although it is not possible to meet directly, it is better to have a face-to-face conversation to understand the current condition of relatives and comfort those who are overly sad because of their death.

As soon as they thought of this kind of opportunity, they immediately began to think excitedly in their minds, what they should say if they could go to their relatives' dreams at that time, explain to the children to add a few more clothes when it is cold, let their wives remember to take medicine on time, and let the parents of white-haired people send black-haired people not to be too sad......

All kinds of regrets may have a chance to make up for it!
