075 Qin Guangdian
As Ren Bikong and Wei Chi Charter went around in a few circles in the temporary residence of the capital city, Ji Danhuang was shocked to find that they had actually come to ...... Railway station?
There is even a railway station in the underworld? Is there an airport? Is there a subway, light rail, maglev or something?
It's not that Ji Danhuang has never been on the train in the world, but he really hasn't seen the train in the underworld. Ji Danhuang looked left and right, and felt that the railway station here was not much different from the railway station in the world, in addition to being more retro and like a product of the Republic of China.
However, the train station here is like a subway cycle, there is only one line, from the half-step inn to the temporary residence area of Xudu and then to the Qinguangdian cycle, it takes fifteen minutes to make a trip, and it takes an hour to complete a lap.
Without buying a ticket, he went directly to the station to wait for the train, Ji Danhuang found that only the three of them were individual passengers, and the rest were led by ghosts to line up and honestly wait for the arrival of the train. The whole platform is very clean and tidy, and the walls are painted with funny four-panel comics, all of which are hilarious life in the underworld, and it feels good to look at it when waiting for the train.
Ji Danhuang suddenly felt that the Netherworld Mansion was actually quite good, at least this temporary residence in the capital looked very high-end and atmospheric, no less than some developed provincial capitals.
It should be good to travel in this place.
"Uhhh
A long whistle sounded, and the train entered the station. Ji Danhuang took a closer look and found that the appearance of this train was not bad. The shape of the bullet train, the leather is painted with exquisite landscape paintings, and there is no ghostly feeling at all.
The door opened, and the first to get down was the ghosts in orthodox black suits, holding big horns in their hands, like tour guides, while beckoning the ghosts to get off the train, and introducing the Jifu train station. The ghosts lined up to get off the bus in no hurry and were very orderly.
Ji Danhuang stood aside and observed these ghosts, only to feel goosebumps all over his body. The ghosts he saw in the ghost market and the temporary residence of Xudu before, although many of them can disassemble themselves, but after the combination, they all look the same as normal people. And some of these ghosts who have just come off the train look really scary, with blood on their faces, holding their arms and legs, their heads deformed, and even just a puddle of mud, how to look at it and feel hairy.
"Master, Master. Ji Danhuang tugged at Ren Bikong's arm, "Why are these ghosts so scary!"
Ren Bikong smiled: "Oh, it's all unnatural deaths, some are accidents, some are murders, when they first came here, they were all newly dead." Once in the temporary quarters, they will be reshaped to their normal appearance before awaiting trial. ”
Ji Danhuang nodded: "So that's the case!"
It seems that the underworld is quite humane.
After the ghosts on the train were finished, the ghosts on the platform led the ghosts to get on the train first, and Ren Bikong, Wei Chi Xianxian, and Ji Danhuang were the last to get on the train. There were a lot of seats on the car, and the three of them casually found a window seat to sit down, and the train began to move with a "woo-" sound.
The first time he took the train from Difu, Ji Danhuang felt that everything was novel, he touched it here and there, and after looking around, he felt that it was no different from the train in the world, so he turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car, but only saw a vague shadow.
The train in the underworld is really fast! Not only is it fast, but it is also very stable, and it does not shake at all.
"Hey?" Ji Danhuang suddenly thought of a question, "Master, after a person dies, the living relatives will give them paper money and house burning, can they really receive these things?
He had always heard people say that paper money should not be burned too much at once, and the dead relatives would not be able to carry it. But looking at the current situation, no one is carrying money around!
Wei Chi Charter: "The times are developing, the society is progressing, and the work of the prefecture will also change. Now there are also banks and courier companies in the prefecture, and the property burned from it will be received and kept by the bank first, and then the property will be transported by courier to the place of residence to which the ghost is assigned after the ghost has officially settled down. ”
Ji Danhuang asked again: "If the ghost is beaten down to the eighteenth layer of hell, what will happen to these belongings?"
"Although the eighteenth layer of hell is a place to punish ghosts, there are also places for ghosts to live, and when the time comes, the courier will send the belongings to the hell. When the ghost's sentence expires, and it is determined that they can live in the city after the trial of the ten halls of Yama, the courier will send the belongings to the city. ”
"Isn't the courier fee in the prefecture very expensive?"
"Well, it's very expensive, and half of the money sent will be deducted as labor expenses for one delivery. Of course, they only count gold and silver banknotes, and the price of houses, vehicles and other items is not included in the deduction. The bank's fees are also relatively high, and they have to deduct 10% of the money burned from it, with no upper limit. If it is a transfer within the prefecture, then there is no handling fee, and the deposit will not give interest, but the interest on the loan is very low, only 0.01%. However, this place generally receives money from relatives and friends, and few people need loans. On the contrary, some homeless ghosts who have been assigned to their places of residence but have no money to buy a house will take out loans, and after working part-time, they will slowly repay the money they earn. ”
"Oh, I see. ”
Ji Danhuang felt that the system of the prefecture in terms of money still looked very good. Although the cost of bank and courier deductions is very high, ordinary people will burn a lot of money for deceased relatives and friends, and even if a lot is deducted, it is enough to spend.
As he spoke, the train had already arrived at Qin Guangdian. The three of them waited quietly for the ghosts to get out of the car with the ghosts, and then followed unhurriedly.
After taking a look at the Qinguangdian Railway Station, Ji Danhuang found that there were several more trains here than the Xudu Temporary Residence, one was to the Xudu City, one was to Hell, one was to the Chujiang Palace, and the rest were from the various Xudu Temporary Settlements.
In this way, the temporary residence area of Xudu is divided into several areas. But it's no wonder that so many people die every day and come to the Netherworld, and if you don't build a few temporary settlements, you can't live so many ghosts!
Following Ren Bikong and Wei Chi Xianzhang out of the train station, Ji Danhuang looked up and saw a majestic building like a palace, and the vermilion gate was impressively written with three big seal characters of "Qin Guangdian".
Ren Bikong exhaled a long breath: "It's finally here." Reaching out and patting Ji Danhuang's shoulder, "Let's go through the back door." ”
The three of them avoided the group of ghosts and made their way to a small gate in the middle of nowhere, where several ghosts were guarding with machine guns. Seeing the arrival of the three people, the ghosts didn't say anything, and automatically made a way for them to enter.
Ji Danhuang looked back at the ghosts at the door, and asked Ren Bikong in a low voice, "Master, are they patrolling? Why did they let us in like this?"
Ren Bikong smiled: "That's because King Qin Guang is very familiar with your master and uncle, and he let us in." If it hadn't been for that, the gate would have stopped us, and the guns of the demons would have turned us into a hornet's nest. ”
"Oh, I see!"
Ji Danhuang felt that this trip was really not in vain, and he had a long experience!
After going around several circles in the Qin Guang Palace, Ji Danhuang walked straight and dizzy, and finally arrived at the main hall, but King Qin Guang was busy dealing with affairs and had no time to meet him for the time being. A ghost messenger greeted them and invited them to the side hall to rest, saying that he would come over after King Qin Guang dealt with the urgent matters at hand, and also brought them many fragrant pastries to eat.
After walking for so long, Ji Danhuang was also tired, lying on the chaise longue on all sides, eating pastries while watching this antique and gorgeous side hall.
The facilities of the Netherworld Mansion are very modern, but this Qin Guangdian is still like the former palace. Hey, there's a computer here, and it feels like it's so crossed!
King Qin Guang's efficiency is very high, Ji Danhuang just ate two pieces of dim sum, and a ghost sent to report that King Qin Guang had arrived at the door. Ji Danhuang hurriedly sat down, stretching his neck and looking at the door expectantly.
"Hahahaha, there are friends from afar, this king is busy with official business and can't meet him in time, and I hope to forgive my sins.
Along with the hearty laughter, it was King Qin Guang who was dressed in a gorgeous black costume, and Ji Danhuang's eyes suddenly lit up. The King of Qin Guang in front of him is not like the King of Qin Guang in the portrait of the world, and the real King Qin Guang looks much more handsome. The heavenly court is full of square circles, full of red light, not angry and arrogant, looking like a mighty general.
Ren Bikong and Wei Chi Xianzhang exchanged a few polite words with King Qin Guang, briefly introduced Ji Danhuang, and then went straight to the point and directly explained the intention. Ji Danhuang was still thinking about whether King Qin Guang would feel embarrassed, but he didn't expect King Qin Guang to laugh and wave his hand, so he sent a ghost to find Zhang Yang.
King Qin Guang said with a smile: "It's such a small thing, and it bothers the two of you to come in person." If there is any further command in the future, it is enough to send a message, so why bother so much. ”
Ren Bikong smiled: "Isn't this a new apprentice to bring him to see the world." If there is anything in the future, let him come to you himself. Turning his head to look at Ji Danhuang, "This guy owes your master and me a favor, you don't have to be polite to him." ”
Ji Danhuang hurriedly agreed, but he really didn't know what to say except for nodding. This was the first time he had seen the real Ten Halls Yama, and he was so nervous, how dare he talk more!
Before they could talk a few words, a ghost came back and said that Zhang Yang's ghost had been settled and could be taken away at any time, Wang Kaixuan and Cao Ergou were waiting outside the door, saying that they were going to take Ji Danhuang to visit everywhere.
Speaking of visiting, Ji Danhuang really didn't want to go. But before he could speak, he was kicked out by Ren Bikong.
"We're going to catch up with the Ten Palaces Yama, you go play, don't be in a hurry to come back. Ren Bikong closed the door as he spoke, and no longer paid attention to Ji Danhuang.
Outside the door, Wang Kaixuan and Cao Ergou were waiting there. Seeing Ji Danhuang come out, Qi Qi showed a bright smile.
