At noon the next day.

I stayed up until midnight last night to sleep, and Ji Zhuo got up at noon as usual.

Washed up, touched my phone and glanced at the penguin messages sent by several contacts.

"Pen and ink: Thank you, big man, the editorial department of the signed book has already received it.

Bimo: In addition, the Magic Capital Publishing House wants to publish your "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", I don't have any comments over there, so let me ask for your opinion by the way. ”

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Okay, I don't have any opinion, let the Demon Capital Publishing House send the contract."

Finally, his only book that has not yet been physically published has also been targeted, Ji Zhuo has no opinion on this, and he can make some money.

"Editor-in-Chief Qian of Huating Publishing House: Mr. Bugong, because the readers are too enthusiastic and the publicity given by the cultural department, "Caged Bird" may need to be printed more."

"Clumsy and extraordinary: OK."

The previous tasks of the current period have ended, and now it is natural that the higher the sales of "Caged Bird", the better.

"Pioneer Film and Television Screenwriter: Mr. Ji. The animation production team has already started the preliminary preparations for the anime adaptation of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", and you may need to ...... the script

Pioneer Film and Television Screenwriter: It's not to rush you, the script will definitely take time to polish.

Clumsy and extraordinary: so fast? ”

Isn't Avant-Garde Film's animation production team non-stop? How long is the finale of the first season of the anime of "Mortal Immortals".

"Pioneer Film and Television Screenwriter: The animation production team felt that the production cycle of this anime might be longer than the previous mortal cultivators, so they tried to start preparations in advance.

Pioneer Film and Television Screenwriter: You don't need a script yet, Mr. Ji, you just need to polish it slowly. ”

The anime adapted from "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" should be biased towards a relaxed healing style, and it is more troublesome to make.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: OK."

Ji Zhuo replied again, as for the script...... As for the last cooperation with Pioneer Film and Television, they really didn't rush ......

The script is not in a hurry......

……

Messages from each contact were replied to in turn.

Ji Zhuo looked through the text messages on his mobile phone, such as those sent by operators and banks.

By the way, I also saw my bank card balance,

After a few months, the income in the bank card finally exceeded the system's one-month incentive fund...... It's a bit poignant to talk about.

But shouldn't I think about whether I want to buy a house in the magic capital?

It's good to live in this set now, why don't you just buy it?

As for the matter of buying a villa in the magic capital, Ji Zhuo felt that it could still be shelved.

I went through all these jumbled thoughts in my head,

Ji Zhuo also washed up, put the phone aside,

I entered the study and sat down at my desk.

I made my decision yesterday, and today I'm going to start writing a new book.

Waiting for the time when the computer was turned on, Ji Zhuo turned his head and looked out the window of the study again.

Today, the sun is just right, reflecting by the window, and the wind is blowing outside, and it doesn't look hot.

Although you can't see the branches and leaves of the trees in the community, you can still hear the subtle sound of the branches and leaves colliding.

Under the sound of rustling, the room was also extraordinarily quiet.

"Hoo ......"

The weather is good, the mood is good, Ji Zhuo smiled on his face.

Then turn your head and face the codeword software that you just opened on the computer.

Looking at the other books I've written before,

After a pause, he created a new book,

After a long pause for the title of the new book,

All that remains is the box for the title of the book to be entered, and the cursor flashes and flashes.

I already have some ideas for the new book, but the title of the book has not yet been decided.

"Entering the capital city at night?"

"Night trip to the underworld?"

"Forget it...... To sum it up. ”

"Night tour of the capital city."

Ji Zhuo paused and knocked down the title of the new book.

Originally, he wanted to take the title of a book about a certain night tour of the capital city - which fits the theme of his new book mythology.

But...... The protagonist's name hasn't been chosen yet, so I can only give up.

Click on this newly created new book,

Create a new chapter,

The title of the book has been chosen, and then the introduction is on.

Ji Zhuo's hand was on the keyboard,

The crackling of the gap and the sound of keyboard tapping resounded in the room,

The new book has just been written, and naturally it is still more stumbling, and the most clicked is the backspace delete key.

Ji Zhuo wrote this introduction in a deleted and revised manner,

"Introduction: Take Huangquan Road, cross the Nai He Lethe River, and stand in front of the Sansheng Stone.

Drink Meng Po soup, enter the capital of the prefecture, and stay on the platform for a long time.

It's hard to turn back......"

Repeatedly deleted and modified, and wrote such a brief introduction that I don't know how to calculate neat couplets, Ji Zhuo is still not very satisfied, and may revise it later.

The original calm state of mind was a little irritable, and the sound of trees and leaves outside the window, which was originally quiet, also felt a little noisy.

"Hoo ......"

Ji Zhuo exhaled a long breath,

After rubbing his forehead and calming down,

I just started a new chapter, and I'm ready to start writing the main text.

Facing the blank codeword interface, Ji Zhuo paused again,

The hand was placed on the mechanical keyboard again,

The sound of keyboard tapping sounded again in the study,

Words and phrases are also gradually emerging on codeword software.

“…… When I fell asleep, there was a violent storm outside the temple, and the wind with raindrops kept drilling into the temple from the gap between the wooden windows and I don't know whether it was moth-eaten or decaying, and the rain mixed with some sawdust and wood residue flowed on the window edge. ”

"It was the rainy season, and the mud walls that had been flattened on all sides were crawling with mold spots, and the rammed ground on the ground was soaked with rain and was a little muddy."

"Zhang Cheng must not put the only high table in the temple behind the temple gate before going to bed, lest the already somewhat dilapidated wooden door be opened by the strong wind."

The incense candles that had been lit earlier in the temple had long been extinguished by the wind, leaving only the smiling face of the land lord looming in the night. Zhang Cheng, who was blocked by the torrential rain in the land temple, had to curl up on the edge of the land lord's offering platform, and the land lord who didn't care about the wind and rain blocked the wind for him, but he didn't know when he fell asleep. ”

“…… When he woke up, Zhang Cheng was groggy and opened his heavy eyelids, and he found in a daze that there was no movement of the rainstorm and wind outside the house, but he couldn't see the outside of the house clearly through the window, it seemed that the night after the rain was dark, and then, Zhang Chengcheng couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep.

When he woke up again the second time, he heard someone call him again, the voice seemed to be far and near, it felt familiar but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, Zhang Cheng only felt that his head was heavy, and he opened his eyes with difficulty, but found that there was an old man standing in front of him who was drenched in some rain. ”

……

Zhang Cheng ...... The rain stopped, I went home, Zhang Cheng ......"

Zhang Cheng ...... Wake up, the rain has stopped, it's time to go home...... It's time to go home......"

The old man had a wooden staff and a beard with white beard, but his beard was drenched with some rain.

is smiling, and gently calling Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng was confused, and he felt that his whole body was hard and heavy, as if he was carrying a boulder of 10,000 catties.

But I saw left and right, I don't know when the rain has stopped, the wind has also stopped, and there is a dead silence.

I don't know when a thick fog has fallen into the land temple, but the fog is not white, but it seems to be dyed in the night.

The mud walls of the Land Temple are not visible.

And the incense candles in the temple didn't know when they were lit again, and the light dispelled the thick fog and illuminated the small place of Zhang Cheng.

“…… Get up, it's time to go home, it's time to go home......"

The smiling old man stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Cheng's wrist,

Zhang Cheng was still in a state of confusion at this time, and his throat was so interfering that he couldn't speak.

The old man pulled him, and he followed the old man and got up from under the altar.

“…… Let's go, let's go, it's time to go home......"

Zhang Cheng's brain was still muddy,

The old man took the cane in one hand and took down the candle that was burning on the offering table with the other.

Gu Liang held it in his hand and showed Zhang Cheng the way.

The light of the candle flame followed the old man's walk,

The light of the candle flame barely illuminated a dirt path underfoot.

"Let's go, let's go...... It's time to go home......"

The old man led the way, and Zhang Cheng's mind sank and he unconsciously followed,

I only felt that the old man's voice was familiar, so I followed the old man and walked forward with difficulty.

Out of the temple gate,

Outside, there was still a thick fog, and only the path underfoot, illuminated by candlelight, could be seen.

The road, winding, twisting and twisting, in the dense fog on both sides of the road, there is a quiet dead silence,

When he looked up, he looked at the sky, and it was also gray.

The winding path went forward, and there was a fork in the road.

Zhang Cheng, who was still dazed, unconsciously walked towards that fork in the road.

"Huh...... Go this way, go this way...... Come with me, come with me...... Don't mess around......"

The old man pulled Zhang Cheng back behind him,

Zhang Cheng followed the old man forward again,

After that fork in the road, the body is hard but lighter and lighter,

The whole body became more and more relaxed, and some thoughts gradually came out of the drowsy and chaotic mind, and there seemed to be some sounds in the throat again.

Zhang Cheng saw that the old man became more and more familiar the more he looked at it,

Holding a wooden staff, with a white beard, and a kind face,

This is not the land in the temple?

As soon as the thought came to me, he was suddenly startled and froze in place,

"Zhang Cheng, don't stay on this road longer, follow me."

The candle in the hand of the land flickered, and turned around to call Zhang Cheng again,

Zhang Cheng felt that his teeth were sour, full of panic and bitterness,

"Lord Land, don't coax me, I'm afraid this is not my way back."

"Didn't I drown in the heavy rain in the Land Temple, did I freeze to death...... People say that when they go to the underworld, the first stop is the Land Temple. ”

Zhang Cheng said, but he seemed to be more and more panicked as if he couldn't step on it.

“…… Don't panic, don't panic...... Not yet, not yet...... Don't be surprised, it's really bad to be shocked. ”

The land lord hurriedly appeased, and patted Zhang Cheng a few times in a row, before suppressing Zhang Cheng's uncontrollable fear.

“…… So what am I? ”

Zhang Cheng hurriedly asked again.

"You are a noble person in the next life, I saw that you were just outside the soul wandering, and I took you into the underworld for a walk."

"Wait for dawn, and I'll send you back again."

"Noble? What kind of noble person am I, I am just a dilapidated household who works in my spare time and farms during farming, without a father or mother, without a wife or children, I am a cheap life. ”

Hearing that he could go back, Zhang Cheng's mood eased a lot, and he asked what he was puzzled about.

"The yang world has the rules of the yang world, and the yin world has the rules of the yin world.

"Zhang Cheng, come with me......"

The lord of the land leads the way again,

Zhang Cheng looked back, but saw that he couldn't see the road when he came, so he could only follow the land master.

I also talked along the way.

“…… Land master, could it be that this is Huangquan Road? When will you enter the ghost gate? ”

“…… Huangquan Road Ghost Gate Pass, after the Ghost Gate Pass Huangquan Road, stepping on Huangquan Road, is entering the Ghost Gate Pass, this is Huangquan Road. ”

"Why don't you see the other ghosts?"

"Everyone has his own way to go, and the future is a noble man, although the road is winding but smooth, he who has done evil has shackles and shackles on this road, but this road is difficult."

"After this journey, when you reach the main road, you will be able to see other souls of the dead who are rushing everywhere in the next life."

……

"Crackling ......"

The keyboard sounded in the room, Ji Zhuo revised and corrected, got up, and gradually wrote smoothly,

The blank interface on the codeword software is gradually filled with words.

Ji Zhuo wrote the first chapter of this new book.

The first chapter doesn't have much to say,

is the protagonist Zhang Cheng trapped behind the land temple by wind and rain,

The soul left the body, and with the land in the temple, he stepped on the Huangquan Road, and he wanted to visit the underworld.

The plot continues to unfold,

Zhang Cheng, who followed the land lord all the way to talk, also arrived at the first place in the underworld.

"Vicious Dog Ridge, Jinji Mountain, but they are all one piece. On one side is Vicious Dog Ridge, and on the other side is Jinji Mountain. ”

"The wicked will be taken away when they cross the Vicious Dog Ridge, and the flesh will be bitten off, although it is like a soul without hindrance, but it is painful and unbearable."

"Jinji Mountain is to those who are born with sore teeth and sharp mouths, and hurt people with bad words, as the so-called good words are warm in three winters, and bad words hurt people in June, and the golden rooster will peck at the mouth of the evil words and hurt people, until the tongue is pecked."

"The next life is a nobleman, you don't need to pass through Jinji Mountain in the Evil Dog Ridge, just pass through between the two mountains."

Before the Evil Dog Ridge and Jinji Mountain, the protagonist Zhang Cheng finally saw the other souls.

The other ghosts didn't look like him, there was an apprentice master who followed, it was a ghost pawn with a blue face and fangs, and a cold face followed, and a ghost pawn brought a large number of people.

When the land lord was explaining to Zhang Cheng, some other ghosts next to him also heard it.

Most of the dead souls still looked as usual, but two of them were a little frightened.

One of them was a man in his fifties and sixties, fat-headed and big-eared, who listened to the land and looked at the vicious dogs that were already salivating on the side of the mountain, and whose sharp teeth seemed to have flesh and blood in their mouths.

Falling back, foaming at the mouth,

The other was an old lady with a pale face, whose face turned even paler when she heard this, and her mouth kept saying something to ask for protection.

“…… That land lord, when I was alive, I was a pig killer, and this one killed a lot...... You won't be able to cross the Vicious Dog Ridge. ”

The fat-headed, big-eared man swallowed and spat again, wanting to ask the ghost pawn who was holding a group of dead souls, but the ghost pawn was indifferent,

He turned his head and shouted cautiously to the land lord here, and asked.

"It is the duty of the butcher to kill, it is not a sin, it is the focus of the evil qi on the body, and those dogs may still be afraid of you."

The land smiled and turned back to answer.

"That's good, that's good......"

The butcher breathed a sigh of relief, nodded his head and thanked him again,

Only the old lady was left in this group of people,

The butcher seemed to be fine, leaving her alone, but she was even more afraid,

opened his mouth, and wanted to ask the land, but he didn't make a sound,

But the land looked at the group of dead souls and said,

"Evil words hurt people, entering the underworld is the same as hurting people with a knife and killing people with other murder weapons, if it is words that force people to death, it is the same."

The words of the land seemed to be spoken to the old lady, and the old lady's face was whiter.

However, the protagonist Zhang Cheng looked at the butcher more.

Immediately after, the blue-faced and fanged ghost pawn drove the group of dead souls away,

The old lady was already paralyzed on the ground in fright, but she was still dragged forward.

And the land is taking Zhang Cheng to walk the road without dogs and chickens,

But I can hear the screams of the people on the mountains on both sides,

“…… That old lady, her teeth were sore and her mouth was sharp. The daughter-in-law in the neighbor's house gave birth to a girl, and the daughter-in-law in her family gave birth to a boy, so she was useless to the old lady in the house and the daughter-in-law of other people's families, saying that the son of the person was not blessed. ”

The old lady of the neighbor vomited and hanged herself that night...... It's just that the retribution is not happy, and the neighbor's old lady who fell on the tree at the door of the house saw the old lady when she got up in the middle of the night, and she was scared to death on the spot. ”

It seems that the land knows about the old lady, and talks to Zhang Cheng,

"After this Wild Dog Ridge, Jinji Mountain, to the front, the old lady of the neighbor is still waiting for him in front."

"Is the old lady of the neighborhood guilty of scaring this old lady to death?"

"If you scare someone to death, it's more or less a crime, but scaring the old lady to death can only be regarded as karma. There may be some karmic things, but they are not considered sins. ”

The land looked back at Wu Mu and said so.

Wu Mu nodded, and continued to walk forward with the land.

We arrived at Wangxiangtai.
