Huangquan Road.

It's not like other ghosts are skewered like sugar gourds by ghosts, and they rush forward. The black-shirted ghost was clearly treated with great courtesy.

A ghost respectfully led the middle-aged man in black shirt to walk next to the column of ghosts who were rushing to the Nai He Bridge.

It's just that at the next fork in the road, and they chose a different path.

Whoever looks at it, this middle-aged man is a soul who has just died, and he still has the breath of a living person, no different from every hawthorn strung on the sugar gourd. But it's not the same path as them.

It stands to reason that once you enter the ghost gate, everything is empty. It doesn't matter if he is in his past life or in this life, he doesn't remember it, therefore, the dead people who enter the underworld are all muddy and have no mind, follow the footsteps of the ghosts, cross the Yellow Spring, go to Nahe, drink Meng Po, and have to die.

This has been the case for thousands of years, so at first sight of such a conscious soul, the ghosts can't help but take a few more looks. A ghost thought to himself: "I don't know what kind of big man is coming from the underworld." ”

His Highness Yama.

Lord Yama said to a man standing under His Royal Highness: "After a person dies, his soul goes to the underworld, and thousands of people are reincarnated as human beings, and one in ten thousand of them is left behind by the underworld to serve in the underworld. ”

This is the black-shirted man from Fang Cai, who maintained his composure and continued to listen to Lord Yama's explanation: "Reincarnation is reincarnation, and it can also be considered to be reborn. If you stay in the underworld, you can live forever, but you will no longer enter reincarnation. General Shen, which one do you choose?"

The tone of the people on the stage was as gentle as spring breeze and rain, as if they were luring people into a trap.

This is somewhat surprising.

General Shen - this is what he calls in the world. This man measured it in his heart with the "trade-off" he was still accustomed to, and then said: "People often say, 'Freedom from the suffering of samsara is to be freed from samsara by immortality,' which shows that this thing is very good, but it can be ...... But what Lord Yama means, but immortality is not as good as reincarnation?"

When General Shen came to the Yama Palace, he consciously claimed that he should be humble, but he had been in a high position in the world for a long time, and he didn't know whether to use "I" or something to refer to himself, so he simply omitted it.

Lord Yama patiently explained: "This immortal life is to work for the underworld. Staying in the underworld year after year - the underworld is not as lively and interesting as the human world. ”

Hades seemed to be waiting very leisurely for General Shen to consider it carefully. General Shen asked, "Then dare to ask what positions are still lacking in the prefecture?"

"Is there any position assigned to you? The black impermanence between black and white impermanence is not fixed, and it can be negotiated with your partner. Your partner hasn't come yet, wait until he comes. ”

"What do you mean...... He's still alive?"

"Yes. Speaking of which, you probably know this person, it seems that there was a title of 'peerless double Shen' at that time, and it was another person. ”

Needless to say, this General Shen is the one in the "Double Shen".

Lord Yan was still patiently waiting for the people in the audience to give a reply, but he didn't want General Shen to be stunned.

Not only did they know each other, but the origin of the period was constantly cut with a knife. A smile suddenly appeared on General Shen's calm face, and his slightly cloudy eyes brightened. I saw that the place where the middle-aged man in a black shirt was standing turned into a handsome boy with a young appearance, and he was dressed in a black robe.

It's like going back to the time of youth, and that person can still admire the moon.

After a long time, the young man replied: "Shen Qiyu is willing to stay in the underworld for Lord Yama to drive." Although Shen Qiyu was given the national surname "Li" when he was in his twenties, and he has not been called "Shen Qiyu" for many years, he blurted out the surname he shared with that person - "We are still considered our own family", the man said.

As if he had lost interest in everything else, Shen Qiyu stared at the void, his eyes were extremely bright, and he didn't know what he was expecting or hoping for.

Lord Yan's face became solemn, he picked up a piece of paper from the bookcase in front of him, went down from the steps to the hall step by step, walked in front of Shen Qiyu, and handed it to him: "This is General Shen's letter of appointment, from now on, you are the impermanent master of my underworld." I hope that General Shen can be a great man in life, and after death, Lord Impermanence can also be a ghost male!"

"Thank you, Lord Yama. ”

After encouraging Shen Qiyu, Lord Yama summoned a ghost messenger to come in from the gate of the hall and ordered, "Take Lord Impermanence to Wen Zhongjun." ”

Then he faced Shen Qiyu and said: "The underworld does not have so many rituals in the world, don't be restrained." Just with the pure heart of a young person. After speaking, he glanced at him deeply, and his gaze went straight through Shen Qiyu's skin and reached the hearts of people.

Shen Qiyu couldn't help but feel that his face was hot, as if he felt that Lord Yama was hinting at something. Shen Qiyu felt that he was becoming more and more like a hairy boy, and the sharpness of a politician for decades was nothing after he died. He replied respectfully "yes" and turned to follow the ghost.

Out of the main hall, many questions emerged from Shen Qiyu's consciousness. Then the ghost took him all the way and scared all those questions back.

It turns out that there really exists flying away.

In an instant, the two of them had already moved away from the Yama Palace.

When Shen Qiyu's feet touched the ground again, the place where he was standing was the shore of a pool of black water. Since entering the underworld, Shen Qiyu has seen bright halls everywhere, and the Yama Palace is also vermilion, which is somewhat similar to the palace in the world, so Shen Qiyu does not have the fear of "I am dead and have come to the Yama Palace". But the sight of this pool of black water reminded him of what people call the terrible "hell". This pool is not big, and there is a man in white sitting in the middle, and the back is empty, which makes this scene very strange.

However, Shen Qiyu was sure that he was dead, this was by no means an absurd dream! He thought, since he was dead, what else was there to be afraid of. Doesn't all human fear come from the fear of death?

Not long after Shen Qiyu landed here, the man in white in the middle of the pool had already flown over, arching his hand at Shen Qiyu, who had just calmed down, just like when the two sons in the world first met: "Lord Impermanence, look up for a long time." ”

This man in white has a slender body and a face as warm as jade, which is different from Shen Qiyu's angular and rigid beauty, coupled with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, which reminds people of a scholar full of poetry and books.

Shen Qiyu only treated him politely, returned a salute, and waved his hand very humbly: "It's funny." ”

The man in white said to the ghost, "Lord Impermanence has been delivered, you should go and get busy first." ”

Shen Qiyu bowed to him, and the next moment, the person was no longer in place.

"If there is anyone standing and chattering, please sit down. After speaking, the man in white bypassed the desk in front of Shen Qiyu and sat opposite. "The people in the underworld don't have so many etiquette, so they don't have so many names, so you can call me Wen Zhongjun. ”

Shen Qiyu replied: "Shen is praying for rain." ”

These Wen Zhongjun naturally knew, not only him, but most of the people in the entire prefecture knew Shen Qiyu. The underworld has not added new people for thousands of years, of course, ghosts who come and go and reincarnate are not counted, so the sentence "long admiration" that Wen Zhongjun said is really not just polite.

As early as the twenty-first year of Li Ping - the name of Li Guo when Shen Qiyu was a teenager, Shen Qiyu was famous in the world, a hero among the people, and the underworld had decided to ask him to stay in the underworld, and he had already received a lot of attention from the underworld - of course, Shen Qiyu himself didn't know. And Wen Zhongjun, as the most leisurely and favorite person in the underworld, is one of them. At that time, the ghost messenger and the ghost monarch in the underworld often got together to discuss "why these two new impermanence monarchs are not dead" when they are idle.

Ghostly, that doesn't sound like a good thing.

This Wen Zhongjun was very enthusiastic, and pulled Shen Qiyu to ask the east and the west: "Who appointed you today?

Shen Qiyu replied: "Lord Yama." Then he asked, "Who is Chongxuanjun?"

"You're in luck. Lord Yama, I may not have seen you in a long time. Recently, the underworld has been very busy, and Lord Yama said that I am fine, don't bother him. Staying in the study all day, I was suffocated to death. Wen Zhongjun sighed, and then smiled again: "If you are as comfortable as me, you really can't find a second person in the underworld." Like Chong Xuanjun, in addition to managing the personnel changes in the prefecture, he also has to help the Lord of Yama. In today's situation, Chongxuanjun must have been forced to change jobs by the king of Hades, and he was lazy hahaha......"

Shen Qiyu also smiled, this smile stretched out the frowning brows that had been frowning, and the whole person seemed to have escaped from the scheming of the world. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, regardless of what happened before and after his death, he had given up so much, the little emperor was so old, he could take charge of himself, and the princess was also idle and chic, why should he be tired. It's just that this thought only flashed for a moment and then went out, and the habit of shackling oneself was not something that could be abandoned at this time.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and then asked, "What is Wen Zhongjun's duty?"

"As you can see, small talk," he spread his hands and leaned back in his chair in a more comfortable, but strange-looking position, "the main business is small talk, the side business, by the way, give the ghost a good idea." People don't know anything when they come to this underworld, and finally there are a few sane people, who are still full of obsession, and they are not interesting and cute at all. So I tried my best to dissect the things that made people uncomfortable, and then sent people to reincarnate. ”

He was quite proud, making people look as if this was something very remarkable, and Wen Zhongjun proudly continued: "Since the beginning of heaven and earth, when the underworld was first formed, there was a 'Yin Qing Lu' - that is, my office. When you came, you had already seen the ghosts bring the souls of the dead to reincarnate, can you see the difference between you and them being the same living souls?"

Wen Zhongjun conjured a folding fan out of nowhere, and the words fell, tapping his palm for a while. Shen Qiyu stared at the ups and downs of the fan, and somehow remembered Mr.'s ring ruler, as if waiting to pick the mistakes in the student's answer, so as to be vigilant.

It's just that before Shen Qiyu could figure out whether he wanted to answer, the ghost monarch who looked like a white-faced boy began to answer himself: "After a person dies, it doesn't matter if he is called Guixi or Yuhua, in short, the soul returns to the underworld, and ordinary people are hooked by impermanence......" Speaking of this, as if he felt that the wording was a little inappropriate, Wen Zhongjun suddenly turned away from the right track, explaining: "This 'soul hook' is soul hooking, not a metaphor," he winked at Shen Qiyu, "You understand?" Counting the one who hasn't come yet, although the four impermanences are all good-looking, this is just a coincidence. You will never be sacrificed for hue. ”

Shen Qiyu reluctantly agreed, laughing, thinking, "...... It's not a little crooked. ”

Although Shen Qiyu is now a young man, he is also a person who is over half a hundred years old, of course, these decades are just a snap of his fingers for the ghost monarch in front of him who doesn't seem to be much older than Shen Qiyu. Wen Zhongjun, an elderly man who was tens of thousands of years old, looked at Shen Qiyu's face that was not sad or happy, and sighed in his heart: "These children are too lifeless. ”

Wen Zhongjun was trying to remember where he had just spoken, when someone called his name, and the ideas that had just come out returned to a mess. Wen Zhongjun looked at the source of the voice, then quickly stood up, and also pulled Shen Qiyu to stand.

Shen Qiyu didn't know who it was, but he felt that he was dressed in dark clothes and had an unsmiling face, which was a bit majestic.

Originally, under the feet of the two of them was a square stone more than three zhang wide, but as soon as the third person stood up, it suddenly doubled in size. Shen Qiyu was a little surprised, but his feet were steady, so he quickly stabilized his mood.

Wen Zhongjun said to Shen Qiyu: "This is Chongxuanjun." ”

Shen Qiyu bowed: "Shen is praying for rain." ”

"In the future, there will not be so many courtesies in the underworld, so there is no need to worship and worship. Chong Xuanjun said, "I should have taken you to office today, but there are some things, and I went out, so please Lord Yama." I can't stop coming back this time, and I can't talk to you in detail, but there is a big idler in the underworld," he looked at Wen Zhongjun, "Wen Zhongjun can help." And just after informing the people in the library pavilion and preparing some books, Wen Zhongjun also walked around with impermanence. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Leaving two people staring at each other.

Wen Zhongjun was a little embarrassed: "Chongxuanjun is very busy, haha, but there are many opportunities to meet in the future." Seeing that Shen Qiyu nodded, he didn't seem to care about the embarrassment of this "big idler in the underworld", so he resumed his big grin and sat down with the person.
