Volume 1 Chapter 148 Ghost Ball
When the white light gradually dissipated and his eyes could see again, Xie Lingyun found that he and Youqi and Youxiao were already on the side of the same street, and there were a lot of human voices in their ears.
Looking at the sky above, a hazy moonlit night scene, look around, similar to the human town, there are shops and houses, there are also pedestrians coming and going, there are some cyan ghost fires around, reflecting the bright and gloomy underworld.
And they were standing by a well, the water of the well was unfathomable, and the cold air was blowing, and at this time the water waved, and several ghosts suddenly appeared from the mouth of the well and landed, and then talked and walked briskly.
It seems that this well is a point of this underworld, connecting the Chenghuang Temple, Dongyue Temple and other passages in all directions, which is convenient for Yin officials, ghost envoys and dead souls to come and go, such power is really incredible, and the Dongyue Emperor who created this Yin Cao is really awe-inspiring.
"Hurry up" Xue Rui urged again, without letting the three of them have a good trip, so he led the way to the south side of the street and went to the Lost Dragon Casino.
I don't know how vast this secluded city is, the three of them followed Xue Rui for a long time, and seemed to gradually leave the streets and alleys, and came to a gloomy and remote ghost forest, but there were many ghosts going together, when they walked into the depths of the ghost forest, suddenly the front of them was open, only to see that there was a bustling market in front of them, all kinds of ghosts and monsters were surging, and they couldn't see it, it was even more lively than any street just now.
Xie Lingyun couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked, "What's going on here, why are there so many ghosts, don't you need to be reincarnated?"
Xue Rui smiled and explained as he walked: "The appearance of the underworld is different from one mansion, just like one country in the world is different from another, our Dongyue Prefecture is not the hell of the King of Hades, let alone the hell of the King of Jizo, it is the most generous. Most of these souls are good ghosts who will not be punished after death, and they are temporarily unwilling to be reincarnated, so they can stay in the underworld, where they can make a living, or participate in the ghost mission selection and become a ghost mission, just like I have become a city god, and live a good life. ”
At this time, not far away, a black-bearded man suddenly greeted him: "Xue Gambler, come down to gamble again."
"Yes, I'm lucky today, I'm going to win" Xue Rui replied with a smile, and Dahan laughed: "Don't be a ghost ball, ah, otherwise I will definitely go to patronize." ”
Xue Rui smiled and said no, and when the big man walked away, he introduced to the three of them: "That one just now is Boluo Chenghuang, and I am a friend of wine and meat." Dongyue Prefecture is very vast, this is actually just a piece of Lingnan, the counties and counties of the city god, land and other yin officials and ghosts, there will be leisure will come down to play, squatting in the temple all day long who can stand it. Everyone has their own good, I love gambling alone"
"Brother Xue, I heard you say before that the gambling house was opened by a person named Milong?" Xie Lingyun had always had a question, and when he saw Xue Rui nodding, he asked: "Who is he?
Speaking of the lost dragon, Xue Rui looked emotional, admired and hated, and said: "That lost dragon was a ranger before his death, because he was chivalrous and righteous, and accumulated virtue, but in the end he was killed by thieves and died. Through promotion, he became the head of the Yin Si, but this person was unruly and repeatedly violated the rules, so the official had no choice but to do it. ”
"But this guy has a lot of brains, he wrote a paper to entertain the people, and he went up to the Emperor Dongyue, it should be quite reasonable, the emperor allowed him to open this gambling house, not an official, but there are thousands of gambling ghosts under his door, and he is more majestic than other officials. ”
He shook his head and sighed, and said: "That guy is very cunning, although he has always had some bad deeds such as lending money and thugs, but he has never gone overboard, and no one has complained to Emperor Dongyue, so his prestige is increasing day by day, and now others call him the God of Gambling." He smiled again: "Then again, hehe, if you want to say who wants to close this gambling house, I, Xue Rui, am the first to disagree." ”
"Oh" Xie Lingyun nodded, it sounds like that the lost dragon really has a delicate heart, he is a chivalrous man after all, and it is normal that he can't go anywhere.
When the four of them passed by a small table stall, a little old man with a two-handed beard called them: "This son, please stay, I see that your yang life is not over, the sun is soaring, you must be in this life, do you want to come to tell your fortune?"
Xie Lingyun was naturally very curious, and wanted to stop and calculate, but Xue Rui urged him to leave, saying that this old man was a god stick, and he was defrauded of the money of a living person like him.
He didn't stop because he looked around, fortune tellers were really nothing, all kinds of ghosts came into view, common drowning ghosts, hanging ghosts, rare hollow ghosts, tooth ghosts, deaf ghosts, and there were only daredevils who crashed straight into him and wore them, and there were many merchants and ghosts selling some things from the underworld, and the wine and food were in the list......
"Xie Lang, look over there," Yu Miao suddenly exclaimed. Their sisters are the most ghostly, and since he said that he was afraid of guilt just now, they also temporarily changed their names to Xie Lang in front of people.
A few people turned their heads to look, only to see a spacious place not far away, there were several ghosts kicking a round ball like a juju, and there was a circle of ghosts laughing next to it, but this is not strange, the strange thing is that the ball is screaming non-stop, and you can see that there are people on it, such as faces, hands and feet, etc., which are clearly a ghost, but they are gathered into a ball
Xie Lingyun was stunned and asked, "Brother Xue, what is this?"
"That's the ghost ball, ah" Xue Rui looked bitter and sighed: "That's a game set up by the Lost Dragon Casino, if you owe gambling debts and can't pay them back, you have to act as a ghost ball to pay off your debts, so you are kicked by someone, and you only receive one or two after a quarter of an hour, if you are interested, you can also kick it." ”
"No, I'm not interested......" Xie Lingyun felt sweat on his forehead. Xue Rui begged again: "If I can't pay the money, I have to do this, Brother Xian, two brothers and sisters, pull Brother Yu, Brother Yu" Xie Lingyun gave him a word, so he was kicked violently every day, maybe he would quit his gambling addiction.
At this time, there was a beautiful and delicate hyacinth female ghost floating next to her, and she threw her flattering eyes, "Childe, are you interested in having a drink with your concubine?"
Followed by several more beautiful ghosts, they turned a blind eye to the secluded and ghostly, and knew that the gambling ghost of Xue Dao had no money, so they only seduced the handsome gentleman: "Little brother has you ever tasted the taste of a ghost prostitute? "Come on, you can just look at the money." ”
"Hehe" Xue Rui smiled and gestured to hug them, and the ghost prostitutes all laughed and scolded and floated away: "Xue gambler, when did you love this too?" he complained: "Sisters, no matter how you hug them, you are not allowed to go shopping for something, and the store is allowed to touch it first."
"My sister doesn't pick you up", "Me too." The ghost prostitutes all laughed, and Xue Rui suddenly laughed: "Look at your beauty, I don't want to gamble if I have money, but if you are interested, it's okay to play, you are too hot." ”
"No, no, no. Xie Lingyun seriously refused, and then drove away the prostitutes.
Youqi thought of something, and asked in a clear voice: "Xue Chenghuang, are there many such beautiful female ghosts in this underworld?"
"Yes, many female ghosts have married male ghosts, no different from the yang world; Those ghost prostitutes just now were raised by the Lost Dragon Gambling House, and they can survive if they do some romantic business. Xue Rui replied.
Xie Lingyun saw that she was excited, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Xie Lang, the slave family is just wondering if they can recruit some suitable female ghosts to follow in the underworld, which will save a lot of work. Yu Yu said softly, and Yu Miao added knowingly: "If our troupe wants to practice some stronger repertoire, there are still a lot of dancers." ”
Xue Rui frowned when he heard this, and thought, "Bring the ghost back to the Yang Realm?" This matter is a bit difficult, but it is not impossible, as far as I know, the Lost Dragon Gambling House has this business. He laughed and said, "Sometimes which monk from the yang world comes down to play, and which female ghost forms an enmity, he will meet the lost dragon, one by one, and I don't know if it's in batches." ”
That lost dragon was really not a yin official better than a yin official Xie Lingyun couldn't help but be surprised, as for the recruitment of female ghosts, he thought about it: "Don't talk about this matter, don't rush now." The second daughter nodded in response.
After talking through the market, after a few steps, the four of them came to the door of the gambling house, and they had already heard the sound of gambling equipment colliding, the roar of chickens and beasts, the shouting of gamblers, and even the screams of being beaten.
Hearing these noises, Xue Rui also became nervous, rubbed his hands, worshiped the gods, and muttered a few words of "Rui Qi Ruiqi, plus my body, once I enter this door, I will win every gamble", and then he strode through the stone gate carved with "Lost Dragon Gambling Workshop".
Entering the square, before entering the three-storey gambling hall building, I saw groups of three or five everywhere, a bunch of ghosts are gambling money, there are common gambling methods in the yang world, and there are also unique games in the underworld...... There are also fighting cocks and crickets......
Seeing that Xie Lingyun was curious about the Yin Chicken, Xue Rui explained: "They are all the souls of chickens and birds in the world, most of them were brought down by ghosts, and I also had one before, and I was invincible...... Pity...... "Hey," he sighed unspeakably sad.
You and you pay more attention to those strange ghosts, and this time they are used to ghosts, they are all eye-opening and exclaiming; Xie Lingyun also finally saw some legendary ghosts such as bull head and horse face, black and white impermanence.
"What is that?" Youqi pointed again, Xie Lingyun saw that those ghosts looked very ugly, with a green face and a big mouth, and protruding fangs, not human-like or beast heads, but they were ...... He exclaimed, "Yaksha ghost"
Yaksha is a kind of evil ghost, because of the Buddha's teachings and became a protector, it is a Buddhist ghost species, it stands to reason that it should be in the Hades Hell, how can it appear here?
Xue Rui laughed and said, "Without him, I'm here to gamble." ”
Sure enough, seeing them go up to a betting booth, bet the money, and shout and gamble, Xie Lingyun was more and more surprised, that "gambling god" Milong, his ability is indeed very big.
"When will Xue Rui's five thousand taels be returned?"
"Lost Dragon ......" Xue Rui was so shocked that he floated, he really saw it!
