Chapter 10: The Ghost Gate
As soon as he heard the name of the underworld, Xiao An was already scared, why did I have to go to the underworld? But as a high-ranking spirit-bound messenger! I still can't lose face~ So I followed hard.
The land lord picked up the cigarette pouch, filled a pot of cigarettes, and shouted, "I'll wait for you here, my position is too low to go in" After speaking, he waved the rosary and turned it into a fire fold to light a cigarette.
Xiao An glanced at the land lord and followed the ghost led by the black-robed man to walk in, walking in chaos, walking, why do you say chaos? The surroundings are all pieces of nothingness, as if in a thick fog, I can't see my fingers, but in the darkness, it seems that someone is pointing the way...
Gradually, the chaos disappeared little by little, and what appeared was a loess road, and there was darkness on both sides of the road, and there were countless pairs of eyes looking at this group of ghosts, making whining sounds, like roars, like wails, like sorrows... Every time Xiao An sees these eyes, the anger in those eyes will make Xiao An feel a sense of déjà vu, and those eyes may turn away for fear of looking at Xiao An...
Xiao An seems to feel that complicated feeling here again! Once again, I felt blood, cold, horror, and pain, but the strange thing is that these feelings did not make Xiao An feel frightened, but felt more calm and understanding, as if this was his home, he belonged here, and was a part of this place... Xiao An only thought that it might be his position in the underworld that made him feel this, so he didn't think much about it...
The loess road is very long, and you can't see the edge at a glance. The more you go in, the more eyes on both sides of the road, and gradually the loess road becomes a gravel road, and the black fog next to it can no longer hide the owners of those eyes, revealing emaciated ghosts, lying or crawling or sitting or standing there wailing......
Because the land lord didn't follow, Xiao An, who wanted to ask what was going on with these ghosts, didn't want to ask the black-robed man in front of him, so he held the question in his heart..., and he walked for an unknown amount of time, giving Xiao An the feeling of walking for several days...... Because it's all black and black~ there is no concept of time...... I don't know how long later, I saw a gate in the distance! Towering into the sky! The city wall was white, and it seemed that it was still squirming, which made Xiao An speed up his pace with a burst of curiosity.
Wangshan ran a dead horse, Wangmen ran a dead dog, Xiao An looked at the gate and walked alive for a few hours! I walked to the front door! To be exact, it is an archway with three blood-colored characters written on it! "Ghost Gate"! Next to the white city wall, on both sides of the original two mountains of white bones piled up, where countless white bones struggled, wailed, desperately trying to climb out~ but was attracted by something and couldn't break free.
When he was about to approach the Ghost Gate, the black-robed man stopped the team, ran to Xiao An, bowed down and said, "Spirit Bound Emissary, we are going to start distributing road guides, I don't know if the emissary has a way to release it?" ”
Xiao An doesn't know what a guide is? So he pretended to be profound, and said, "You just go and send it."
The black-robed man bowed, retreated, and walked to the front of the ghost team and said, "The front is the ghost gate, Feng Yuan and Shen Hong stepped forward," and the two ghosts stepped forward, and the black-robed man said, "You two are good and virtuous in life, although there is no great good and great virtue to ascend to heaven and become a god, but you can also be exempted from all kinds of crimes in the underworld~ This path can directly lead the two to the Soul Restoration Cliff to be reincarnated." The two took the guide and walked towards the ghost gate.
The black-robed man said again: "Lu Yin, there is still a high-priced one!" A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears smiled wickedly and handed the black-robed man a stack of dark money and ingots! He smiled and said, "Trouble the immortals, can you give the way to the little one?" The black-robed man looked at this person, put the money and ingots into the bag on his waist, grabbed the fat man, threw him aside, and said, "The evil in life is too heavy, and you can't get the way, and the sins are so heavy that you must be punished!" ”
The ghosts were eager to step forward, but when they saw what happened to the fat man, they also quieted down one by one. At this time, a woman came forward with a little girl, and knelt down with a plop, "Ghost brother, I can't say beautiful words, and I don't have money, my mother and son were originally helpless, they could only scavenge for a living, and they were bullied by bullies, I thought about this remnant of my life, but I encountered a sudden disaster, a car knocked my mother and son to death, I don't want anything else, I want my daughter to be able to cast a good tire in the next life!" Not suffering from poverty," the black-robed man pushed away the female ghost who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "The suffering in this life is all because of the sins of the previous life, and the rules are the rules!" No money, no way" Hearing this, the woman cried even more, and kept kowtowing and pleading, the little girl tried hard to help her mother up, but her body was too small to help her mother up.
Xiao An was a little unbearable, and beckoned the black-robed man to come over, "Asked, what sins did this mother and daughter have in their previous lives, how do you know?" Why should he be punished so heavily, and this life is so miserable? ”
The black-robed man "The messenger doesn't know, and the little lonely souls and ghosts who have been brought to the underworld have detailed information"
As he spoke, the black-robed man flipped through the book in his hand
Xiao An asked curiously, "This is the book of life and death?????? ”
The black-robed humane said, "The messenger laughed, the book of life and death is in the hands of Judge Cui, how can I get it from the pawns?" "Xiao An thought about it~
The two of them were mother and daughter in their last life, the mother was shrewd and capable, and the daughter was wise and intelligent, and the business was prosperous and prosperous, but what they did was a leather business, buying animals, skinning them and making them into clothes or leather goods, and selling them. Originally, the sin was not serious, but after the prohibition of hunting could not buy animals, so they began to breed animals, killed and skinned, and raised animals were killed by the mother and daughter to make leather goods, the killing was extremely heavy, the two people were angry with the beast demon king who killed too much, and killed the mother and daughter in the leather processing factory, and after the trial, the mother and daughter realized the sin of their killing, and were willing to be sentenced to 300 years in the Daoshan Hell, and then because of sincere repentance, they were not beaten into the animal road, and only suffered poverty in the human road. ”
Xiao An: "Is it difficult to be poor, have you been hit and killed?" Crashing to death is no longer a matter of poverty! Shouldn't the prefecture make some compensation? ”
The black-robed man's envoy "Actually, the two of them have already received great blessings from the Heavenly Dao, and the mother and daughter originally planned to commit suicide!" If they commit suicide instead of being killed, they will go back to hell to be punished, and the crime will be even more serious! Longer penalties! ”
Xiao An knows that suicide is a felony! But how exactly, how much of a sin! I have to go back and ask the land lord~
Xiao An: "But all the things in the previous life have passed, and the sins of this life have also suffered, why don't you give the mother and daughter a chance?" ”
The black-robed man "The rules are set by the prefecture, and the small ones dare not disobey them." The guide can only be sold, not gifted"
Xiao An: "Then why don't you buy that fat man for him?" ”
The black-robed man "This person's name is Jin Changgui, he did good deeds and accumulated virtue in his previous life, and he was reincarnated as a fifth-class person in this life!" Enjoy the glory and wealth, covet wealth all his life, because his wife is seriously ill, he is reluctant to spend money on treatment, resulting in the death of his wife's illness, and also holds a large funeral and collects money, so he went to the prefecture to report that he lost his longevity"
Xiao An frowned after hearing this, "It's really not a thing"
Xiao An couldn't bear to see this, and said, "Can the road guide be clearly priced?" ”
The black-robed man "has no clear price, just buy it"
As soon as Xiao An heard the fun, the thorn chain was taken back from Bai Ru's body, glanced at Bai Ru and said, "If you dare to run!" As he spoke, he raised his hand to reveal the black totem on his wrist, and walked towards the fat man with his finger. The fat man was muttering, "Don't give me the way, but give me back the money, and embezzle the money!" I feel sorry for me" Apparently this is a miser.
Xiao An walked up to the fat ghost, threw out the thorn chains, and said with a wicked smile, "Fatty!" Rob! ”
