I don't know how long it took for Xiao Shizhu's consciousness to gradually recover, and the pain in his chest disappeared for no reason. After feeling some strength, he slowly opened his eyes, and found that his body was not much different from before, except for a slight feeling, and his eyes became able to see through the darkness at this moment.

But before he could think about whether his eyes had superpowers, his death was the first thing he saw.

He saw his body lying at his feet, blood dripping from his chest, his mouth and nose, and his eyes wide open to him. This dead look frightened him.

Before he could recover his senses, he saw the two of them appear silently, standing on the left and right sides of his body, sandwiching him in the middle.

No, it should be said that they are not people. Because it was like a gust of fresh wind, coming and going without a trace, when did it appear, how did it appear? At this time, Xiao Shizhu, who was still full of paste, did not know.

And although they were both humanoids, Yin Feng kept swirling at the feet of these two things that were not human, and the one on the left was tall and thin, dressed in white, with a white smile and a white face, and a long hat with the words "You are here too" on it. The one on the right is dressed in a black robe, short and fat, with a dark face and a serious face, and the words "Catching you" on his long hat. There was an eerie aura on their bodies, which made Xiao Shizhu very uncomfortable.

"Black and white impermanence?" Xiao Shizhu asked slowly after recovering from his stunned appearance, looking left and right at the appearance of the two people. I couldn't help but complain in my heart: "Damn, is there really black and white impermanence? Or am I having a nightmare?".

"Joy and glory are just right, and hatred and impermanence have arrived. Bai Wuchang, who was dressed in white, said a word, and then Hei Wuchang, who was dressed in black, immediately said to him: "We are here to take you to the underworld, and you don't have to continue to suffer in the yang world." ”。 The voice is hoarse, like a hundred insects walking at night, very harsh.

"Come with us. After Bai Wuchang added another sentence, Hei Wuchang already had an extra pair of shackles in his hands out of thin air. Without waiting for Xiao Shizhu to talk, or for him to make any moves, the two worked together to bring him the shackles.

Xiao Shizhu looked at the shackles, then at the black and white impermanence, and after understanding that he was really dead, he sighed lightly and said, "I can go with you, and I will definitely go with you, but can the two eldest brothers help me remove the shackles?"

"I didn't carry it with me when I was alive, and I'm not used to it. After finishing speaking, Xiao Shizhu looked at Bai Wuchang with a smile on his face and laughed dryly.

At this point, although he was confused about what to do in the future, he also knew that he could not come back to life if he resisted, so he simply accepted his fate, but this shackle made him feel very uncomfortable, so his only wish was to remove this shackle.

Black and white impermanence was stunned when he heard the words, and he didn't ease up for a moment. The ghosts of the tragic death often have a heavy grudge, and there are ghosts who do not take revenge and do not enter the underworld; and even in order to take revenge, most of the ghosts who died tragically do not hesitate to clash with the ghosts, so the ordinary ghosts do not dare to bring the ghosts of the tragic death. Basically, all the tragic ghosts are shot by the black and white impermanence in Yin Shuai or the bull head and horse face, and forcibly dragged back to Yin Si for trial.

There is even an unwritten rule that if the ghosts of the tragic death are too obsessed and do not listen to good words and persuasions, the ghosts can correct them on the spot.

Xiao Shizhu, who didn't know the reason, was stunned when he saw the impermanence of black and white, and thought that these two ghosts were also the masters who saw money, so after his eyes rolled, he hurriedly added: "I won't let the two officials open the flail for me, I have money." ”。

After hearing this, Black and White Impermanence glanced at each other again, and then Bai Impermanence said: "I haven't met such an obedient and obedient tragic ghost like you in the past few decades, but today is unusual." ”。 And after Bai Wuchang finished speaking, he said: "Old Xie, he's a freak." ”。 When he had finished speaking, he took out the key and went to open the flail for him.

Bai Wuchang still looked at Xiao Shizhu with a smile, and he didn't stop Hei Wuchang.

"Won't I go with you?" Xiao Shizhu laughed dryly twice, shook his head lightly and said, "The matter has come to this point, I might as well go with you obediently to save myself from suffering." ”。 It's just that his smile at this moment looks more like self-deprecation.

After opening the shackles, he hurriedly took out dozens of billions of denomination coins, and held them in both hands to offer to black and white impermanence.

"You're a fool. The black impermanence did not stretch out his hand, but Bai impermanence pushed the money back, and said: "For the sake of you being so sensible, my brothers and sisters will not embarrass you, wait until you cross the Lechuan River, go up to Huangquan Road, and go to the long road of spending money in Xudu before you start the first step, keep the money to buy a good tire." ”。

"You have to give it, and you have to bother the two masters, don't be afraid of hardship, go with the little one. Although Bai Wuchang tried his best to shirk it, Xiao Shizhu knew that he was being polite to him, and now if he believed his old man's words and deeds, he would take back the money, and when he went to the underworld, Xiao Shizhu would not want to have a good life, after all, the other party was also a senior civil servant in the underworld, and he couldn't afford to offend.

As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, and the ghosts don't fight with the ghosts, so they should bow their heads or have to bow their heads. So he hurriedly stuffed the dark coin into Bai Wuchang's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, sir, the little one wants to ask the two of you for one thing, can you go with me to the house to get some money? ”。

Bai Wuchang really didn't push back the money he handed over, but took it in his hand and thought for a while, and muttered a few words to the black impermanence, the two looked at each other again, and after bowing their heads slightly, they said to Xiao Shizhu in unison: "Anyway, your home is not far from here, and the time is still early, so I will depend on you." ”。

Xiao Shizhu nodded, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the two ghost masters, and said repeatedly: "Thank you two officials, thank you two officials!"

After kowtowing nine times in a row, Xiao Shizhu dared to get up, took the two ghosts to his residence, and opened the dozen or so boxes he had placed in the house, which were full of all kinds of dark coins. When the box was opened, he was surprised to find that the stacks of gold ingots had become real gold ingots in his eyes.

"Rich, rich. After the ecstatic Xiao Shizhu muttered, he began to pretend to be money.

When loading the money, Xiao Shizhu suddenly found that his clothes pocket seemed to have become a bottomless pit, no matter how many dark coins could be loaded into it. This made him very happy, and he could live a good life if he had money to go below, and the last trace of fear and confusion in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Black and white impermanence stood behind him, silently watching him pretend to be money, his eyes were straight. Although the inflation below is severe, Xiao Shizhu not only prepared banknotes, but also a lot of gold and silver paper folded into ingots. This thing is a hard commodity below, equal to the gold of the world.

If it weren't for the regulations in the underworld, ghosts were not allowed to kill ghosts and goods, and at this time, the two brothers of black and white impermanence would definitely let Xiao Shizhu's soul fly away, and then take these properties of his own. If the two brothers really killed ghosts and crossed the goods, there would be no Netherworld Emperor who later ruled the eight desolations and ten continents of the underworld.

After loading all the coins, Xiao Shizhu gave the black and white impermanence a large ingot. With the two ghosts, he reluctantly left his residence.

The two brothers took Xiao Shizhu to a river on the edge of the city, where they saw a sampan made of white paper parked on the river.

At the bow of the boat was a white lantern with a big word "ghost" written on its face. There was a green fire the size of a bean in the lantern, swaying gently.

After bringing Xiao Shizhu onto the boat, Bai Wuchang stood at the bow of the boat, while Black Wuchang supported the boat at the stern. The boat moved slowly towards the lower reaches of the river.

After a while, a white mist appeared in front of the ship, completely covering the surrounding scenery in a state of confusion. There was a faint heart-rending wail from the depths of the white mist. When Xiao Shizhu heard this voice, he couldn't help frowning.

Bai Wuchang, who was standing at the bow of the boat with his back to him, seemed to sense his discomfort, so he turned back to him and said, "That's the cry of a lonely ghost. ”。

And the black impermanence turned a blind eye to the white fog, and rushed directly into the fog. Then, a few seconds later, the sampan burst out of the white mist under his pilot.

The former high-rise buildings, asphalt roads, and clear rivers have long since disappeared. Xiao Shizhu saw that the sampan was driving on the wide surface of a river with blood-yellow water, and thought to himself: "Could this be the legendary and famous Lechuan River?" But because he is a new ghost, he doesn't dare to take the liberty of asking about impermanence, so he can only speculate in his heart.

Before sailing to the river, Xiao Shizhu suddenly felt a bloody stench rushing to his face, as if the boat was not under the river, but blood. The scenery has changed, the sky is no longer blue, but gray, and there is not a single star in the sky.

There was a blood-red moon hanging in the western sky, and the reason why Xiao Shizhu thought it was the moon was because its light was cold and cold, no different from the moonlight. Those red rays shone on the earth, covering all things with a layer of red.

Xiao Shizhu lay on the side of the boat and looked into the river, and could see that there were no stones, sand, or water plants at the bottom of the river, all of them were lonely souls and wild ghosts that could not be reincarnated, and their facial features were distorted, and they danced with the insects and snakes at the bottom of the river, but they could not swim up the river.

And the sound he had heard before had come from the mouths of these lonely ghosts at the bottom of the river.

"Homeless, unworshipped lonely ghosts?" Xiao Shizhu looked at the ghosts who were bound by an invisible force in the cold deep at the bottom of the river, and suddenly had a trace of worry, so he asked, "Then am I counted?"

"Before, you were. I saw that there was a yellowed scroll on Bai Wuchang's left hand, and then he took out a brush from his sleeve; I saw him put the tip of the pen on the tip of his tongue and licked it, unfolded the scroll and wrote and drew something on it, and said in his mouth: "For the sake of you being polite to our brothers, I will change you into a tragic ghost, and when you see the king of Hades, don't talk nonsense and harm our brothers." ”。

Xiao Shizhu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the little one has to thank the two officials." ”。 But he secretly sighed in his heart: "It's really rich to make ghosts grind!"

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the sampan stop on the north bank of the Lethe River. After Black and White Impermanence brought him ashore, he said in unison, "Welcome to the underworld." ”。 With that, he led him to a loess road.

The winding path stretched forward from the foot of Xiao Shizhu's feet, until he could not see the distance to the north. On both sides of the road, there are pines and cypresses, and the weeds are overgrown.

I saw a crooked stone tablet erected on the side of the road not far in front of me, with three vigorous and powerful characters on it - Huangquan Road.
