The name Mo Zhai may be unfamiliar to others, but for Xiao Shizhu, a bookworm who not only likes to read all kinds of strange legends and legends, but also likes to read all kinds of official and wild histories, this name is too familiar.

If he guessed correctly, the thin little old man sitting opposite him at this time is the first underworld brother in Chinese history, the boss of many disciples of the Mo family, the founder of the Mo family and the first "giant" - Mozi!

"Mozi?" Thinking of this, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but ask.

"It's down there. Mo Zhai nodded without hesitation and said, "When I was in the world before, I was indeed called Mozi by people below. ”。 As he spoke, he kept a faint smile on his face, making Xiao Shizhu unable to see through what he was thinking.

"I have admired the name for a long time. Xiao Shizhu said, thinking about it in his heart, if he comes, he will be safe; not to mention that he has no relatives and no reason in this strange place, it is rare for someone to be willing to put down his worth and be friends with him, why not do it? As for the other party who has nothing to do, just pay more attention. And when the other party was alive, he was a person who spoke for the people, and his character was good, and now that he is dead, the ghost character should not be bad, so Xiao Shizhu gradually let down his guard.

So, he finally raised the wine glass in front of him and said to Mo Zhai: "Thank you Boss Mo, no, thank you for the love of the shopkeeper Mo." ”。

"You're welcome. Mo Zhai also raised his wine glass, and after clinking glasses with Xiao Shizhu, he drank it.

The two of them ate and drank, and talked about Silas for a while, and gradually speculated.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Xiao Shizhu, whose cheeks were a little red, burped a long wine and said to Mo Zhai: "Shopkeeper Mo, how can you say that you are also a person thousands of years ago, why don't you go to reincarnation?"

"Although this underworld is not a peaceful and prosperous world, it is better than the human world, and there are too many wars in the human world. After speaking, Mo Zhai asked the runner to bring two pots of wine and a few dishes to accompany the wine.

"There is no war on earth now. Xiao Shizhu picked up the wine jug and poured Mo Zhai full of wine, and said in his mouth: "At least not in China." ”。

"China?" Mo Zhai's eyes flashed with confusion after hearing this.

"It's Huaxia. Xiao Shizhu thought about it and replied.

"It turns out that the current Huaxia country is called China. Mo Zhai smiled when he heard this, then put away his smile, and pretended to say mysteriously: "Even if there is no war, it is comfortable in the underworld." Slowly you will understand. After that, he said no more.

Xiao Shizhu didn't delve into it, at this moment, he just simply thought that everyone had their own aspirations, so he didn't say much. Just after thinking about it for a while, he asked Mo Zhai: "Shopkeeper, as a new ghost, I am not very familiar with this underworld, anyway, I can't be reincarnated all of a sudden, why don't you tell me about this underworld, so that I can have an understanding of this strange world." ”。

Mo Zhai took another sip of wine, and after a moment of silence, he said thoughtfully: "Wait a minute, I want to start with something." ”。

"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu saw that he was willing to speak, so he suddenly became interested and hurriedly nodded.

"Actually, the underworld has existed longer than the human world. After a little drunk, Mo Zhai cleared his throat and began to tell Xiao Shizhu everything he knew: "At that time, the world was still chaotic, and the underworld already existed, and the heaven and earth were distinct, there were mountains and waters, stones and seas, and all kinds of strange flowers and plants were everywhere. At that time, in the underworld, there were three kinds of native souls: beast souls, demon souls, and god souls. And the gods and souls rule over all kinds of beast souls and demon souls. ”。

Speaking of this, Mo Zhai paused, and at the same time his eyes fell on the leftovers of the steamed winning fish on the table in front of Xiao Shizhu, and said: "The winning fish in the steamed winning fish you just ate is a kind of beast soul. ”。

"Demon soul?" And Xiao Shizhu didn't seem to have any interest in the beast soul, but squinted at him and asked curiously: "Is the monster soul?"

"Hmm. After hearing this, Mo Zhai looked left and right, and finally looked out of the window after a while, then stretched out his hand and pointed out the window, and said to Xiao Shizhu: "Look, that's a demon soul." ”。

At this time, the sky outside the house had completely darkened, and the whole street was a little less noisy and a little quieter, and the street vendors had already closed their stalls and gone home before Xiao Shizhu knew it. The lanterns at the entrance of each shop have been lit, and the green flames are swaying in the white lanterns.

Xiao Shizhu hurriedly turned his head and looked in the direction of Mo Zhai's finger. I saw a monster wearing a hat, with a horse-like body and a human face, with tiger stripes and bird's wings on its back, walking by with its head held high outside the window.

"Centaurs?" Xiao Shizhu asked, and as he spoke, he looked at the back of the demon soul that was gradually drifting away, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Could it be that the demon souls are all hybrid breeds of humans and beasts?"

"He's a hero, not a centaur. After Mo Zhai drank the last sip of wine in his cup, he said to Xiao Shizhu: "Like a human but not a human, like a beast but not a beast, this is the demon soul." ”。

"Sure enough, it's a human-animal hybrid. Xiao Shizhu said something secretly in his heart, and shook his head slightly.

"The spirits ruled everything here for thousands of years, until that day. Speaking of this, Mo Zhai deliberately stopped making a sound, but slowly picked up the wine jug, poured himself wine, put down the wine jug, and slowly raised the wine glass and took a sip.

Xiao Shizhu wasn't in a hurry, anyway, he had a lot of time now, so he just looked at Mo Zhai quietly.

"Until one day, a god felt that the underworld was too boring, so he built a ladder connecting the underworld and the human world, and in the books of the afterlife, this huge ladder was described as a pillar of heaven, called Buzhou Mountain. After a while, Mo Zhai put down his wine glass, smashed his mouth, and continued: "This divine soul went down the ladder to the human world, and he saw that the human world was in chaos, so he used the Nether Xuan Axe to split the chaos. The people of later generations will call this ancient god ......".

"Pangu. Xiao Shizhu raised his right eyebrows and said first.

"Hmm. Mo Zhai nodded his head and said: "Then, he imitated the appearance of the underworld, shaped the sun and moon, mountains and seas, rivers and forests, as well as wind, thunder, clouds and rain for the world, and brought some demon souls and beast souls to the world. But with the exception of the Divine Soul, the other souls could only haunt the night when the Yin Qi was extremely heavy after leaving the Underworld, so Pangu, the ancient god, came up with a way to make a body for them all that was exactly the same shape as the soul. Although the body is ready, the demons and beasts have maintained their original habits, so there are few beasts and monsters that haunt the world during the day. ”。

After everything was done, the exhausted Pangu was gone. Immediately afterwards, many gods and souls went to the world one after another. The gods who went to the human world felt that there was still something missing in the human world, which was almost exactly the same as the underworld, so they began to create many creatures in their likeness, called people, and gave them language and divine consciousness. And the first human beings were the ghosts in the underworld who thought they were only one level shorter than the ancient gods, and called themselves old gods. ”。 When Mo Zhai said this, he suddenly fell silent again and stopped talking.

But in today's world, there are no gods, and all gods are just clay sculptures. Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but smile, and suddenly thought that the mythical Buzhou Mountain had been broken, and now no one knew the exact location of Buzhou Mountain, and after thinking about it, he asked again: "Did the gods leave the world later?"

"God did not expect that human beings had evolved faster than they had expected, and that a force called love had spread among human beings, connecting them all and giving them the ability to reproduce. This is not only the reproductive ability of the body, but also the reproductive ability of the soul, so many gods and souls want to destroy the human race. Mo Zhai slowly raised his head, stared at Xiao Shizhu's eyes, and said slowly: "So, people and gods are at war. ”。

"But this battle of gods is not smooth, human beings have attracted a lot of demon souls and beast souls, so that the gods and souls have been at a disadvantage, but let the gods and souls even more unexpectedly, many of their kind stand on the side of the human race, these gods and souls who help people are called good gods. They believe that human beings are innocent and do not deserve the unfair treatment of divine punishment. As he spoke, Mo Zhai's voice became louder and louder, his emotions became more and more excited, his hands were trembling, and angry sparks burst out from his eyes: "And those gods who want to destroy human beings are also forced to be in a hurry, so they transferred a large number of floods from the underworld, washed the world, and the water did not recede for three years; ”

"Because many demon souls and beast souls once stood with humans, after the great water receded, most of the beast souls and demon souls were forcibly brought back to the underworld by the gods who wanted to destroy mankind, and they were never allowed to go to the human world again. And a small number of human beings survived under the protection of the good gods. Speaking of this, Mo Zhai, who was already full of anger, clenched his fist with his right hand, slammed the table, and said: "Not only that, but those evil gods who want to destroy mankind have unexpectedly discovered that the human soul that has lost its physical body will be attracted to the underworld into the underworld; As a result, the evil gods set up the eighteen layers of hell and the system of reincarnation, so that people constantly suffered sins back and forth between the yin and yang worlds. We are human beings who go back and forth between these two worlds, constantly tormented by the harsh rules that are imposed on us. They can even turn us into pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, mosquitoes, flies at will. ”。

After Xiao Shizhu heard this, he finally knew why many myths, mythical beasts and fierce beasts were called the imagination of the ancients. It's just that he still didn't speak, quietly looked at Mo Zhai's angry eyes, and then looked at his hands and placket, and a trace of worry rose in his heart.

According to Mo Zhai, after death, a person becomes a human soul, and it is to be reincarnated. Although reincarnation is good, after all, there are computers, games and smartphones in the world, but how can I hear Mo Zhai say this, but I don't want to be reincarnated?

Soon after, the evil gods discovered that after losing their bodies, the human soul only needed to stay awake and not be drawn to the underworld. So they selected some reliable ghosts from some human souls and demon spirits, and trained them to become Yin Si officials, focusing on the souls that dared to stay in the world. And Meng Po soup was also produced, which was intended to erase the memory of the human soul at the same time, but also to erase the hatred of the human soul for the divine soul. Mo Zhai said this, poured himself a full wine, raised his glass, and drank his anger with the green wine.
