Time is like a cocoon, years are like silk, peel off the cocoon, and the set day will eventually come......

"Hey, Ghost Gate, am I dead, but how did I die, why don't I remember......" A thin young man stood outside the Ghost Gate Pass in the capital city, frowning and looking at the huge plaque in a daze.

On the pitch-black plaque hanging at the top of the city gate, three large blood-red characters were written with teeth and claws, revealing their fierce faces, like the gods on high looking at the ants under their feet with indifference and contempt.

The young man glanced at it a few times, pursed his lips slightly, and walked forward with a face full of disdain, but he bumped head-on with a big man who hurried from the opposite side and was looking down at the document in his hand. The big man didn't move, but the young man flew out upside down and fell into a vicious dog eating.

"Ouch...... What is it that goes on a rampage, walking without eyes?"

The young man hummed and chirped and got up, glaring at the big man who had already walked in front of him and yelled, but he found that this big man was so tall that he could only see people's chests when he looked at him, so he raised his head vigorously and stared angrily at his neck.

"Oh, where is the demon!" it didn't matter if he looked up, he saw a huge bull's face looking down. The eyes were the size of eggs, and the two large nostrils as round as dragon's eyes were spewing a trace of hot air, and a large mouth seemed to be able to bite off his head with a little force, which frightened the young man at that time.

"Hehe, little brother, don't be afraid, the old cow was born with this face, although it is not very attractive, but it is quite friendly when you look carefully, isn't it?"

"That's what you think?" the young man looked a little surprised.

"Well, there's a problem?" the bull-faced man struggled to smile.

"Fine, no problem. The young man looked at him with playful eyes, "How can the demeanor of the brother be appreciated by ordinary people, and he is still in a hurry to reincarnate, take the first step and say goodbye." With that, he arched his hand and walked around him to the city gate.

The bull-faced man paused for a moment, and said in his heart, Is this kid praising me? It seems that the old cow has been more kind recently, ho-ho...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help grinning, and reached out to touch the cow's face that looked like no one was close. Touching and touching, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and caught up with the young man and dragged him backwards.

"Hey~ Little brother stay, you can't enter this door!" The big man brought the young man back like a chicken.

"I can't get in? Why can't I get in? Why can't I get in? How can I be reincarnated if I don't enter? You don't stop those people, but what do you do to stop me? You have said that I am in a hurry to be reincarnated, what do you mean? Do you know that it is very rude to delay the reincarnation of others?

You didn't apologize for hitting me just now, do you know? You scared me and didn't apologize, you know? You pestered three times and twice, don't think that I'm afraid of you when you grow tall, you won't get out of the way......?

The angry young man's mouth was like a cannon, and the speed of his speech was smacking, and the foam of the mouth was so bad that the placket of the big man's chest was wet, and he rolled up his arms and sleeves while talking, as if he was about to fight if he didn't agree with each other.

"What?" the big man was stunned, his bull's eyes widened, and his mouth opened like a rice bowl.

"Can't enter, how can you not enter? Others can enter......" The young man repeated the words and actions just now, and the placket of the big man's chest could be wrung out of the water.

"Uh...... This one...... You said it too fast, Lao Niu didn't understand, you slow down. The bull-faced man scratched his neck, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"You ......" The young man was also stunned, stared at him for a long time, and finally could only droop his eyebrows and say word by word: "Okay, you won, who are you, why don't you let me in, is there something to do with me?"

"Oh, hehe, did you say that earlier, little brother, don't worry, go this way, listen to the old cow slowly......" The big man slapped the young man on the shoulder, slapped him short, and regardless of his dark face, he walked towards the right side of the city gate.

On the way, according to the Great Han, he is the soul messenger of the Netherworld, Niu Tou, who is specifically responsible for attracting good souls or capturing evil ghosts, and this time he came here to find him after receiving a mission. The young man is familiar with the famous big man in the underworld, such as Niu Tou Ma Mian, but no matter how you look at the image of the reckless man in front of him, it is far from what he imagined.

Although the Ghost Gate Pass is the pass at the junction of the underworld and the yang, it is not the first place where the soul of a person returns to the underworld after death, and the real first place to go is the land temple or city god temple where the deceased was alive.

Yang life has been exhausted and the deceased is escorted there by the Yin Cha or Soul Hook to verify that there is such a person, erase his past in the Yang world, and only after logging in to the document can he get the guide to the underworld, and with his guidance he can find the ghost gate through the Huangquan Road, so as to start his life in the underworld.

And the soul without a guide is the so-called lonely soul and wild ghost, generally the Yang life is not over and the deceased, in the disaster or suicide, killed, etc., generally can only be lost and wandering on the Huangquan Road, even if there is a chance to get to the ghost gate, if the trespass alarms the guards of the Yin soldiers, there is absolutely no good end.

And the ghost gate is usually only in but not out, only on the first day of July every year, the ghost gate will be opened, so that the lonely ghosts and wild ghosts on the Huangquan Road can be found and passed, so as to return to the yang world to find the way back to their hometown to get the way.

As for whether they can arrive safely, it is not within the jurisdiction of the underworld, some are driven away by monks and Taoists, some are captured and imprisoned by immortal cultivators, and some are enslaved by evil cultivators and other imperial envoys, and they are easily unable to turn over; the worst thing is to be devoured and sacrificed by demon beasts, evil ghosts, demon cultivators, etc., and they will be directly wiped out in ashes, and they will not be able to live forever.

If you are lucky enough to find a way back to your hometown and return to the land or the City God Temple safely, you can enter the gate by the road when the ghost gate is closed on July 30. If you are unlucky and can't find a way back or can't return home safely, you can only return to Huangquan Road when the ghost gate is closed, and continue to wander and wait for next year's opportunity.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, and there is a kind of person who cannot break through the main door, but can go astray, that is, the good deeds he did in his life are ten thousand times greater than the sins he has created, and he is alone, and he has died of misery, his body is broken, and even his memory has been lost.

After death, this kind of person will be directly teleported to the outside of the ghost gate, and the underworld will send a mission to pick it up. And the young man belongs to this kind of person, but if he really breaks through the main gate and is punished by the underworld, even if the bull head wants to fish people out, it will take a lot of effort and feet, and he can't help but shudder when he hears it, and secretly hangs it.

"I just took the task of leading, so I came here to find you. Are you amnesia, do you remember your name?" said this, Niu Tou turned sideways to look at the young man and sighed.

"Amnesia...... Name ......" The young man thought carefully for a while, and found that his head was splitting, his mind was blank, and he couldn't think of anything.

"Well, that's true, good man, it's good, and let me see what you were called when you died......" Niu Tou sighed as he took out a scroll of paper of unknown material from his bosom and looked at it.

The corners of the young man's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, what a good fart, the good people have hair, don't they die so miserably as you said, haven't you heard that good people don't live long?

"Huh, why isn't your name recorded in the book of life and death? How is this possible...... This...... It's also bizarre to have only your posthumous Yin number, and the name is empty for you to fill in on your own!"

"I can't think of anything to make up for it? It's so troublesome to die, isn't that a number, just use that number instead." The young man rubbed his still sore head and said angrily.

"Uh, well, your number is three eight three eight five nine four three eight, I'll fill it in for you. The bull head looked weird, and took out a judge's pen from behind his buttocks, and was about to write on the paper.

"Don't write it, what a broken number!" the young man snatched the pen from him, and then threw it out with a look of disgust.

"Hey~ Don't throw it, that's my magic weapon!"

"Where did you get this broken pen?" the young man wiped his hands on the placket of his shirt.

"Here. The bull turned and patted the back of the waist, where a pen sleeve was tied to his belt.

"And what are you touching on your ass?" the young man was surprised.

"Hehe, it was a little itchy just now, so I just scratched it. The bull head smiled sheepishly.

"I'm ...... Isn't this a good treasure for you?"

The young man originally had a black line, and when he heard him say the magic weapon, he leaned over with great interest and looked at the judge's pen that looked very ordinary.

"Of course, Lao Niu's magic weapon is not ordinary, this is a mixture of Huangquan cold iron...... Wait, we didn't seem to be talking about that, what are we talking about?"

Niu Tou looked smug and just wanted to show off his magic weapon, but suddenly felt a little far away.

"Ahem, when it comes to that, let me make up my own name, well, let's just laugh leisurely. The young man coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, thinking to himself which lacked the shit number for Lao Tzu, fortunately this bull head was forgetful, but don't mention this stubble again.

"Smile leisurely, okay, then I wrote it, smile leisurely, smile leisurely, why does it not sound like a name but like a nickname, is there a surname smile?" Niu Tou licked the tip of the pen with his tongue, shook his head and muttered as he filled in the document and led the way in front.

After the young man who followed behind said the so-called name of Xiao Youran, he looked into the distance in a little confusion, but there was a thick melancholy buried in his slightly empty eyes.

I just thought of these three words casually, once upon a time it was myself or someone who said these words, it seemed like a long time ago, and it seemed like it was just yesterday......

“...... I only wish to accompany you to smile leisurely...... Alas......" A soft sigh came out of the laughing leisurely mouth, and the confusion in front of him gradually dissipated.

In a trance, a few images flashed in my mind, as if they were far away and the vision was extremely blurry and scattered, and I couldn't see it clearly. I vaguely heard some sounds, but I felt ethereal and illusory and couldn't catch them, so I only vaguely remembered this sentence.

Who am I and what happened...... Could it be that I was a showman when I was alive? No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible, Lao Tzu is not the kind of dead and poor sour.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, writing poems and lyrics or something is simply terrible, no matter how he was alive, anyway, reincarnation in the next life is definitely not a bullshit literati, it is best to cast into a big family to be a leisurely and leisurely little master, that is called a perfect life, but I don't know if I am reincarnated in the underworld to let myself pick the next family.

"When we get there, let's go into the city from here. While he was thinking, the bull head stopped in an ordinary-looking place outside the city walls, turned to look at him, and said.

Xiao leisurely looked at it, and found that the sky in his field of vision was gray, and there were no clouds, no sun, moon and stars. The ground was desolate and lifeless except for some gravel paving on the path they had walked, and all around was barren wasteland. In front of him is a tall city wall made of black stone bricks the size of a zhang, and there is no end in sight at both ends.

"You're not going to lead the wrong way, are you? It's all walls, and there's no corner door or anything. Xiao leisurely tilted his head to look at the bull's head, and secretly said that this unreliable guy probably forgot the way.

"No, absolutely. Although the old cow is forgetful, he is not a road idiot, and only the old horse can do that kind of mess when he gets lost. The bull head shook his head triumphantly.

"Uh...... So how do you get in?" smiled and shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.

"Yes, of course...... Just got in, hehe. ”

The bull head smiled and grabbed Xiao Youran's shoulder, dragged him and hit him directly into the city wall in front of him, making him let out a strange scream.

Strange to say, just when he thought he would hit his head and bleed, the seemingly impregnable city wall was like an invisible phantom, which did not cause any hindrance to the two of them at all, and he didn't even feel the slightest feeling, and the flower in front of him passed through directly.

"Hey, how did this come about? Scared Lao Tzu!" With a shocked smile, he stood leisurely in the open space in the city, looked at the city wall, and wiped the cold sweat on his head.

"Haha, I look at what scared you! I don't understand, right? The bull head laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

Listening to the bull's story, I realized that under normal circumstances, the soul body of a person after death is too fragile and cannot be exposed to the realm outside the underworld. Since there is always a time when people die in a foreign country, even those who are accompanied by yin at the end of their lives also need to rush to their hometown to go through the Yin registration procedures.

Therefore, in order to ensure safety, within seven days after death or before entering the ghost gate, the laws of the earth will give the soul body the right to possess the yin body.

The so-called yin body and yang body are similar, they are both flesh and blood, and they have five senses but are different. The yin body has no body temperature, no breathing, no heartbeat, no shadow under the light, and no mortal eye can see it.

However, the yin body can float off the ground, although it is not flying, but the speed is still much faster than that of mortals, and it is no longer hindered by physical matter, penetrating walls and entering the room, crossing mountains and seas as if walking on the ground.

The more virtuous people who accumulate virtue and do good deeds during their lifetime, the faster they can move and the less fatigue they feel, and the more virtuous people can even move thousands of miles in an instant without effort, while those who do evil do the opposite.

"Entering the room through the wall, isn't that equivalent to having supernatural powers? Wowhahaha, it's so fun, I'll try!"

Hearing this, Xiao Youyou suddenly had a strong interest in the yin body, and roared and ran towards the city wall.

"Hey~ Don't, I haven't finished talking yet...... Niutou hurriedly stopped, but he was still a step too slow.

The laughter that flew out with only a "snap" was already pasted on the wall in a large shape, and slipped down in the pitying gaze of the bull head, and its condition was unbearable, and his eyebrows jumped.

"Ouch~ my face...... What kind of bird is this, shitty through the wall and into the room in an instant, fortunately the speed is not fast, the teeth almost fell out, and it hurts Lao Tzu to death!" laughed leisurely and grinned his teeth, covering his face and rubbing it constantly.

"How can you blame Lao Niu, are you obedient or not? You have already entered the city, how can you have any yin body, and let alone the wall...... Oh, wait, you're going to hurt?ah?How is this possible, isn't your yin body already ......" Niu Tou wanted to despise him, but was suddenly stunned by the situation in front of him.

Xiao leisurely patted the dust on his body, pushed away the bull's head that was pinching and patting on him with a look of surprise, and didn't listen to what he muttered, touching a city wall in front of him.

"Huh? This is ...... Is there any remnant of the formation......" Looking at an inconspicuous slight mark on the wall, he smiled leisurely and touched his chin.

"What? You can see that there is a formation here? How is this possible...... Who the hell are you......" The bull head was completely shocked.
