Chapter IV Requirements
"...... you?"
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, and he looked me up and down, and said in disbelief: "Girl, are you sure you want to participate in the ghost monarch's concubine?"
"Of course. β
The pride that the god felt was stung by his eyes, and in order to show him his determination, he immediately nodded to him with a determined face, "Why, with my appearance, don't you even have the qualifications to participate in the selection of concubines?" Unconsciously, there was a trace of anger in his tone.
This ghost hesitated for a while, probably frightened by my momentum, and slowly swallowed and whispered: "There are rumors in the ghost palace, saying that the ghost king likes men and loves to make friends with men. Girl, you ......" said, he looked me up and down again, shook his head with some regret and said: "With the girl's appearance, if you are a man, your appearance must be one of the best in the ghost clan, but the girl is a daughter, this ghost monarch chooses a concubine, according to Xiaosheng, you can only sigh with admiration." β
I bluntly said that he was pedantic, and said to him: "What about women, can't women participate, why is it difficult to change clothes and hair accessories into a man?"
When he heard this, his face was surprised, and he frequently bowed his head to express his convincing, but soon he frowned again and became melancholy, "This trick can be transformed into a man, but it is ......"
"But what?" I asked, seeing him slurring.
He worried: "I'm just worried that the Ghost King will find out the truth in the future, and he won't give up." β
"Then you're thinking too much. I laughed and said: "There are so many ghosts participating, and he doesn't necessarily like me, pretending to be a man to participate in the ghost monarch's concubine selection, just to watch the excitement." Besides, things haven't started yet, so why think so much, these things that haven't happened yet, let's talk about them later. β
"But ...... "This ghost is too mother-in-law."
"Nothing more, though. "I can't stand it anymore, I'm willing to be a man, I don't know, where else I can't get into the eyes of this little ghost.
The ghost said: "However, I don't know what type of man the ghost king likes, whether it is the tall and powerful one, or the kind of man who looks like a woman and a sissy." β
"Then you can join along, then that's fine. I said casually.
"No, no, no, no. When he heard this, he was startled and hurriedly explained: "Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng doesn't have that habit." β
"Then I have. I gave him a blank look and said displeased.
"Then, that little student won't go. β
As he spoke, he was a little angry, turned around and brushed his sleeves to leave.
"Hey, don't you think about it?"
I also knew in my heart that I had never met each other, and when we met for the first time, I made such an excessive request and let others take this risk for me, which was indeed a little difficult for him, so when he took the third step, I said to him ruthlessly: "If, if you can take me to the ghost clan palace and help me find one...... A ghost, then I will promise you to help you find out the news of the person surnamed Luo in Luoyang City. β
"Really?"
Sure enough, when this sentence was spoken, the ghost immediately stopped.
"Of course. I promised.
He didn't look back, was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Okay, I promise you." β
Coo, coo, coo, coo, as if the stomach was a little hungry, there was a protest. In this dark and silent underworld, the slightest sound can make people feel like they are beating gongs and drums. Ahem, I was a little embarrassed and asked the ghost, "What do you eat when you're hungry here, do you have anything to eat here?"
He said, "Yes, go east, through the Youtan Spring, through the dead woods, and when you reach the hell on earth, you will have something to eat." β
...... Well, when I didn't ask.
I asked him again: "Here, where is your shelter, can you take me to see it?" The point is to follow Yan Mo for a day's journey, at this moment, the body of the god is really a little unbearable, really hurry up and find a safe place to rest for a while.
He replied, "Yes, it's a little far from here, and you have to walk a few streets and turn a few alleys to get there." β
I didn't mind saying to him, "It's okay, just have a place to rest, I don't mind how far I go." β
He bowed his head slightly, didn't say anything more, and walked ahead with a bone lantern in his hand and began to lead the way.
Along the way, the lights were not extinguished, starting from the first street, all the way to the front of his house, every house, every street and every corner, there were lights shining everywhere, and in this place where no sunlight shone, candles replaced the daylight and illuminated the place. In the dim light, we walked along a rugged path, turned right, and suddenly appeared in front of us a thatched hut with a fence made of bamboo in front of it, and at this moment, because the light of the lantern was too dim, I could not see what was planted in the fence.
I asked him curiously, "In the underworld, can you farm?"
The ghost in front of him paused to push the fence, and after a while, he seemed to be a little depressed and replied, "No." There is nothing planted in this fence, and it can't plant anything, it actually has no substantive effect, just because there was a fence like this in the yard of the home in the world before, so Xiaosheng deliberately made such a fence here, Xiaosheng is worried that he will forget his home after staying here for a long time, and use this fence to remind himself who Xiaosheng is and where he comes from, and remind himself not to forget who he is. β
Oh, I see.
Follow him to the hut, wanting to get closer, his body is cold. He approached, hung the bone lantern in his hand on the hanging basket outside the house, carried it away, gently pushed the bamboo door open, turned to me and said, "The humble house is simple, there are only two rooms, and the one inside should leave a girl to rest! β
"Well, thank you. β
I thanked him, kept an eye on it, and before resting, I planted an enchantment around me.
The underworld is somewhat similar to the Celestial Clan in the Nine Heavens, both of which are places where there is no distinction between day and night, and there are no four seasons. However, there is no day and night in the ninefold heaven, but there is only day and no night, there is no day and night here, but there is only night and no day, and the nine heavens are like spring and autumn at all times, but here is only the cold and midwinter all year round. As a result, the ghosts and ghosts living here are the same as those immortals of the Celestial Clan, they don't need to sleep, and they don't have sleepiness, they have been imprisoned in this place for many years, except for quietly waiting for the earthly obstacles to be cleared up, and then reincarnated again, only to stay in this never-ending darkness for a long time, repeating this monotonous life day after day, and then as time goes by, they gradually begin to get used to this monotonous life, and begin to slowly forget where they came from, why they came here, where they used to be, and even who they wereγ
And the reason why the ghost in front of him can still remember who he is and where he came from, maybe, first, because he has not yet admitted the fact that he is dead, and second, because the cause of his death is unknown, and the obsession in his heart is too deep, and he can't let go of it too much.
