Chapter 247: Life in Yin Mountain
"So, this is just a temporary refusal, and when you get tired of staying in the underworld and Yinshan in the future, you will come back to drink again?" asked Piao Ranzi.
"That's right, after drinking ecstasy soup, reincarnating, being a second person, and starting a new life, it's also happy. Meng Po smiled. "Chu Shengjun, you don't need to drink, you have become a ghost immortal, and you will be an official in the underworld, so we are also colleagues. ”
"Hehehe, the underworld is an official?" Piao Ranzi smiled bitterly, he was completely confused about the future.
"Chu Shengjun, we still have to go to Yinshan to praise officials, the distance is long, and the time is not early. Ma Mian said.
"That's good, Meng Po senior, I'm waiting to leave. Piao Ranzi arched his hand.
"The old body is not kept. Anyway, if you are here with me, you can't eat tea or drink wine, so you will often come here to play in the future. Goodbye, goodbye," Meng Po said with a smile and got up to see her off.
The team of the officials came out of Meng Pozhuang, and when they didn't travel much, Ma Mian pointed to the east: "Chu Piaoran, the high mountain not far in front is Yin Mountain." Turn around Yinshan, not far to the northeast, is the Dating Palace, tomorrow morning we will go back to resume our lives, you wait for the Emperor Xudu to arrange the official position. ”
Piao Ranzi nodded, he thought that he still didn't know the whereabouts of his mother and relatives, and asked Emperor Xudu to take him to find the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo and ask the reason.
The high mountain, gradually approaching, reaching into the clouds, without bounds.
The group quickened their pace and marched towards Yinshan, sweating and sweating again.
A tall archway, blocked in the middle of the road, fluttering up to watch, written: Yinshan Nanyang Mansion.
"Chu Shengjun, this Yinshan ghost mansion is divided into four places: Nanyang Mansion, Beiyin Mansion, Dongchang Mansion, Xihua Mansion, and there are many villages and towns in each prefecture city. "Ma Mian came under the archway and introduced to Piao Ranzi.
"I heard that there is a ghost town behind Yin Mountain, listen to your introduction, this Yin Mountain is a ghost town on all sides?"
"This Yin Mountain is cast by Yin Qi, regardless of the front and back. "Bull Head Road. "Let's go in from Nanyang Mansion and come out from Dongchang Mansion, just take a rough look. ”
The team of kuaguan walked under the archway, and the drum music sounded again. A short distance along, a wooden bridge crosses over the winding river.
On the bridge, a group of Yin soldiers guarded it. The bull head and the horse-faced marshal rushed to the front, and said to the ghost soldiers that this was on the order of the Emperor Xudu, and went to Yinshan to praise the official procession, the group of ghost soldiers, among the bridge deck flashed, and the team of praise officials walked across the wooden bridge and entered the Yinshan ghost mansion.
Piaoranzi comes on the high slope, looks outside, Qianmo is vertical and horizontal, willows are in rows, villages are scattered, chickens and dogs smell each other.
Ma Mian led the procession into a village, where men, women, and children came to watch the sound of drums. There are two handsome people who know the bull head and the horse face, and ask the east and west.
Piao Ranzi sat on a tall horse, in the eyes of those Yinshan people, this was a character. The ghosts who floated to see the life in the village were no different from ordinary people, they were also all kinds of crops, and they were dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and there was nothing peculiar. If it weren't for the fact that there was a drum band in front and an honor guard in the back, he would have thought that this was an ordinary village at the foot of the mountain.
The procession passed through this village, and then to that village, and in a blink of an eye reached the foot of Yin Mountain. On the high slope, a government office came into view. A big flag fluttered, with five big characters written "Nanyang Taishou Mansion".
The sound of drums had already alarmed the Taishou of the Nanyang Ghost Mansion, and he took the ghost officials out of the mansion to greet Piao Ranzi and other ghosts. After Ma Mian introduced Piao Ranzi, Taishou invited Piao Ranzi into the palace to talk, drank a few cups of tea, and asked about the customs and ghosts, which is no different from life in the world, and Piao Ranzi is on the road again.
The team walked eastward, passing through the village and village along the way, leaving Nanyang Mansion and coming to the ghost world of Dongchang Mansion. This time, the Taishou of Dongchang Mansion, with all the ghost officials, greeted Piaoranzi on the earth boundary.
"Niu Dashuai, Ma Dashuai, the two Yin Shuai have worked hard" Dongchang Taishou stepped forward, "I heard that you are boasting officials, coming in this direction, and you have been waiting for a long time." ”
"Dongchang Taishou, has always been good?" Ma Mian smiled: "Immediately, this is the civil and military saint, today he was ordered to praise the official, passing by on your ground." ”
"Chu Shengjun, long admiration, long admiration" Dongchang Taishou Chong Chu fluttered his hand.
"Dongchang Taishou, fortunate meeting, fortunate meeting. "Piaoranzi dismounted.
The ghosts exchanged a few words, and Dongchang Taishou let Piaoranzi enter the Taishou Mansion and entertained him warmly.
"I said Taishou, why are you so enthusiastic today?" Ma Mian asked.
"Where, where, this is what I should be. Dongchang Taishou said with a smile. "We have four ghost mansions in Yinshan, only I am here, the closest to the Dating Palace, but I rarely go to visit the Emperor Xudu, in the future, please Chu Shengjun, in front of the Emperor Xudu, a few kind words, you and I have a lot of contacts. ”
"No problem," Niu Tou agreed for Piaoranzi. "Isn't it just in front of Emperor Xudu and tell me good things about you?
"Niu Dashuai, what did you say. Dongchang Taishou smiled: "I don't expect to be promoted, so I still want to be transferred early." ”
"Taishou, aren't you pretty good here?" asked Piaoranzi. "I see that all the ghosts live and work in peace and contentment, the ghost style is simple, is it a paradise. ”
"Chu Shengjun, don't just look at the superficial phenomenon, I'm too guarded, and it's very hard to be a guard. Dongchang Taishou complained. "You look at my duties, the trivial things of the ghost people, the shortcomings of the parents, the disputes between the neighbors, and the discord between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, all have to be managed. ”
"That Nanyang Mansion, don't you also manage the ghost township, didn't you see that Taishou complaining?"
"I'm not as good as him. Dongchang Taishou said: "People have great ability, deal with these trivial matters, and have patience, I think, it is better to transfer out earlier." ”
After Dongchang Taishou complained, please Piao Ranzi must speak with good words in front of the Emperor Xudu, transfer yourself away, and stop managing the ghost mansion and ghost town.
"I've just arrived in the underworld, and I don't know, so let's talk about it when I have a chance. Piaoranzi excused himself.
Dongchang Taishou asked Piao Ranzi, Niu Tou, and Ma Mian to be concerned, and if he had the opportunity to transfer himself, he would definitely treat him.
Piao Ranzi chatted for a while in the Taishou Mansion and got up to say goodbye. Dongchang Taishou invites Piaoranzi to the back garden to enjoy the flowers.
"Okay, I'll also take a look at the garden of the underworld," Piao Ranzi, Niu Tou, and Ma Mian followed Dongchang Taishou to the west to the foot of Yin Mountain, and sure enough, they saw a large garden, in which flowers were in full bloom, competing for beauty.
"At this time, how can there be chrysanthemums in full bloom?" Piao Ranzi said in surprise.
"Under the sound of love chrysanthemum, picking chrysanthemum under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan. That's the leisure and elegance of my ancestors. I also like chrysanthemums, learn Tao Yuanming's elegance: picking chrysanthemums under the West Garden, leisurely see Yin Mountain. Dongchang Taishou said with a smile.
Piao Ranzi looked west, and indeed saw Yin Mountain. On that mountain, the trees are thick, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is infinite.
"Two handsome, let's stay tonight, it's still early, I'll climb Yin Mountain to have a look." Piaoranzi said.
"Don't" didn't wait for the cow head and the horse face to refuse, Dongchang Taishou hurriedly dissuaded. "Chu Shengjun, you can enjoy the flowers and stay, but you can't go up Yin Mountain. ”
"Oh, why is that?" Piao Ranzi looked at Yin Mountain again, high into the clouds, and on the mountainside, the clouds and mist were filled, like a fairyland.
This is stipulated by the provisions of the prefecture. "Bull Head Road. "This Yin Mountain, the yin qi is solemn, where the ghosts go to the top, how can they resist the cold wind? Moreover, there are hungry tigers, jackals, and poisonous snakes all over the place, eating ghosts and hurting people, and they must not go. ”。 V
