Republic of China

Chapter 105
Observing six directions with one's eyes and observing people's words and expressions are the basic skills for traveling in the world.

Whether it was Zhao Sanyuan or Shangguan Baitu, they never stopped observing from the moment they entered the underworld.

For example, the two shady figures in front of me are at least on the same level as the eldest sister in the Support Pavilion in terms of their clothing.

Then it is very likely that like the elder sister, they all have the method of 'shaking ghosts'. Whoever dares to cause trouble will directly call in a professional team.

Zhao Sanyuan was not confident that he could beat Yaksha in the underworld. If he tried to do it, it would be like grinding his butt naked and spinning around in circles, embarrassing him.

So when Fu Tao Yin Cha grabbed his shoulders, Zhao Sanyuan stayed as calm as possible.

"Zuncha is joking, who can come to this place unless he dies?"

In a pure soul state, various senses will be clearer.

For example, a tense photo will be magnified countless times in the human world.

Fortunately, he didn't have a physical body, otherwise Zhao Sanyuan wouldn't be sure whether he would be sweating now.

It's like a wanted criminal who was recognized by the jailer when he took the initiative to visit the prison. The consequences can be imagined.

The wealthy man smiled and said in a playful tone, "Do you know how many years I have been working in the underworld?"

"."

"Five to sixty years."

"That's really a long time."

"Don't get me wrong, more than 50 years is calculated according to the time of the earth. If it is converted to the underworld, it is about 400 years. How many ghosts do you think I have sent to the ship in such a long time?"

Zhao Sanyuan was secretly shocked.

Is the passage of time different between the underworld and the underworld?

If calculated according to this ratio, the number of ghosts that Futai Yincha has seen in more than 400 years is absolutely astronomical.

The rich Yin Chai blinked his eyes, "According to my qualifications, it is not my turn to be a Yin Chai. After all, there are very few indicators for this kind of position. Many Yin Souls who are tired of the world want to stay in the underworld forever and work as errands. Then the problem comes again. You Do you think I am using my advantage to become a shady person?"

"Probably handsome." Zhao Sanyuan said casually, his mind racing as he considered how to fool him.

"Hey, you are quite sweet, but there is no point in flattering me." Futai Yincai made it clear, "Because when I was alive, I was a dead man. I can't say that I am very capable, but I have a few skills. I am relatively good at it, such as walking in the dark."

!!!

Zhao Sanyuan wanted to cry but had no tears.

It can't be said that good fortune is shining, at least misfortune never comes singly.

Really hitting the muzzle!

There are hundreds of giant ships on the dock, why did you choose this one?
It was unbelievable to meet a colleague in the underworld. What was even more tragic was that he was acting as a swindler to check in at the entrance, and his identity was discovered at a glance.

Zhao Sanyuan has already grasped the paper scale rod tightly in the sleeves of his large shroud.

To break, or not to break?

To put it bluntly, walking in the yin is just taking advantage of the loopholes. The biggest support for a living person to dare to do this is actually the wandering spirits of the local city god. They will attract the ghosts every day and travel between the yin and yang worlds. By the way, there is nothing wrong with taking a soul around the Huangquan Road. It is difficult, but the premise is that the person who is walking in the dark has impeccable abilities and face.

However, this is only limited to the individual souls of the wandering ghosts, and does not include secretly bringing another soul back to the earth from the underworld, so this operation cannot rely on the left and right wandering gods.

Even so, the risk of walking in the underworld is very high, because the wandering gods will not enter the gate of hell, and what the underworld person does inside has nothing to do with them. If the identity of the underworld person is discovered by the underworld or the ghost, he will naturally be severely punished. This This is also the fundamental reason why some people who wander into the underworld cannot sleep. If they are lucky, they will sleep for ten or eight years, and their souls will return to the underworld after they are released from prison. If they are unlucky, they will wait for the first seven years.

Zhao Sanyuan fell into a violent struggle and hesitation.

It’s okay to be detained for ten days and a half. If he is directly transferred to the 81st level of hell, he will have to go through endless pain no matter which level he is. Not to mention saving the boss, Shangguan Baitu will also have to be brought in. .

So we have to get through this.

but.

After breaking through, it is like throwing an egg against a stone and turning your face.

The little ghost is so crazy to do this, and it is completely foreseeable that countless ghosts, yakshas and even more powerful beings will come to hunt him down.

do not care!
Let’s get over the current crisis first!

Just as Zhao Sanyuan was holding the scale tightly, he was held down by a hand.

Shangguan White Rabbit.

Her movements seemed skillful, and her eyes and tone were filled with complaints and affection.

"You can't see clearly when you're alive, and you're still stupid after death. With so many ghosts coming and going, why are you so willing to waste words on me?"

As she spoke, she pulled Zhao Sanyuan behind her, and then faced Futai Yincha, stuffing more than 20 pages of the torn old almanac into his sleeves, her smile still the same.

"Isn't it because Zuncha thinks you are destined? The road ahead is long and difficult. Zuncha is teaching us how to move forward steadily. We really have no vision at all and can only be in a daze."

Experience, experience, hypocrisy, philistine.

Although Zhao Sanyuan understands these things, he is definitely not as good as Shangguan Baitu.

The way of thinking still cannot escape the influence of inherent thinking and personal temperament. To put it bluntly, it is to prepare to work hard. The purpose is basically to leave the problems you will encounter in the future to your future self.

Fortunately, Shangguan White Rabbit accompanied me this time.

Otherwise, just now, Zhao Sanyuan would have thrust the scale beam towards Fu Shao Yin Cha's throat.

"Yes, it is destined that we all worked in the same profession during our lives." The rich and sinister corrupt person cordially invited the two of them aside to avoid delaying the subsequent ghost boarding, "When I saw you two, you two Smart people, smart people have to know how to adapt. What happened to the Yin? It’s not the first time I’ve seen you. We have to discuss whether we can cross the Wangchuan River and reach the Ghost Realm Castle, right?"

Just pinch it with your fingers, and you can know exactly how many pages there are in the almanac.

tsk~
The young couple is really broad enough.

Zhao Sanyuan rolled his eyes after hearing this, but he was also relieved in his heart.

What a bastard. Didn’t you tell me if you wanted money?I almost got scared.

"Yes, yes, what you said is right. The people in my family are slow-minded. Maybe I haven't realized it until now. Fortunately, I met my master for guidance. You are far-sighted and moral. The world lacks such courage as you." A good leader who helps the grassroots solve problems in real earnest, man, are you still stunned? Don’t you have a few boxes of Dazhongjiu in your arms? Hurry up and let me have a taste."

Maybe it's because Shangguan Baitu has never played a similar role. Even though he knows what to do and say in his heart, his expression is a bit delayed and makes everyone look at him with a fake smile.

But it's not whether you mean it or not that matters.What matters is attitude.

Zhao Sanyuan reluctantly took out two cigarettes. To be honest, Lao Kang didn't burn many of these cigarettes. He couldn't bear to smoke them. He was gritting his teeth and reluctant to part with two cigarettes. He would definitely not have any more.

"It's easy to talk." Futai Yincha took the cigarette but did not light it directly. When he glanced at Zhao Sanyuan's arms from the corner of his eye, his eyes were suddenly startled, but he was not noticed. He instantly returned to his cunning expression, "Young man has a future. Ah, there’s a future! I’ve always liked to pass on the advice to others, so it doesn’t matter how much you want, how about this number?”

A thumbs up.

No specific amount was stated.

But Shangguan Baitu is so shrewd that he immediately knew that the other party was talking about the lion's mouth.

Without any unnecessary nonsense, she took out a thick old almanac and handed it over.

From the perspective of the underworld, these things are money, but in the eyes of the evildoers, they are just waste paper and have no use. Strictly speaking, their role is to manage various links in case of emergencies.

The rich Yin Zai was very satisfied and smiled like a dog's tail flower. Then he looked at the other skinny Yin Zai and said, "Wu Qian, please just stare here for a while. I have something to do at hand."

Gao Lao frowned and raised his eyebrows, "Wu Qiong, what tricks are you doing? Don't you know that the investigation has been strict recently? You have to find trouble for yourself, right?"

"What nonsense? I know it well."

After waving his hand, Wu Qiong led the way to the bow of the ship. There was a big millstone there for who knows what it was used for. This old bastard was really uncanny. He pushed the big millstone forward slowly and squeezed out several farts. It looked like he had put in a lot of effort.

After pushing it open for about a foot, a hidden hatch was revealed.

It turns out that there is a hidden front cabin at the front of the giant ship. Since it is quite far away from the ticket check-in point, it is not afraid of being discovered by other ghosts.

"This first class cabin is not open to ordinary ghosts. Come in quickly. I still have to push the millstone back."

One set of operations completely shocked Zhao Sanyuan and Shangguan Baitu.

If you say that money can make the world go round, I am not deceiving you!

After entering the front cabin of the ship side by side, the space inside is not big, it is about the same as half of the front hall of a teahouse. A row of hollow wooden windows are open, and the view is quite good. However, I don’t know the original function of this place. It was obviously renovated later. .

In addition, there were some scattered chairs in the cabin, and some of them were already occupied by ghosts. They were old and young, male and female. When they saw another "first class" shipmate coming in, they all responded with ghosts. A smile that only a god could understand.

Shangguan Baitu sighed.

Since entering the underworld, her most intuitive feeling is the word "rules", and she must follow the rules in everything she does.

However, the truth is shocking. There is no absolute fairness under the rules. At least when you cross the Wangchuan River by boat, the cabins are divided into three, six, nine and low.

"It's really unfair. Those who don't have enough money in their pockets can only squeeze into ordinary cabins?"

Zhao Sanyuan replied softly: "If there is absolute fairness, why do you need to be cunning?"

After muttering a few words, the two did not stay away from the other ghosts. They looked at each other and knew each other's intentions. They first collected some information from these ghosts.

at the same time.

Wu Qiong had already walked back to the ticket entrance for boarding the ship.

Brother Wu Qian, how could he not know that he must have something to do? He used to turn a blind eye, but recently the underworld has been conducting a strict investigation, and if he is caught messing around, there will definitely be no good results.

When Wu Qian wanted to scold and remind him, he found that Wu Qiong's palms were shaking uncontrollably, apparently from some kind of fright.

Even if you are dead, how can ghosts be scared?
Moreover, he is making up a conspiracy. There is no reason to be afraid in the underworld, right?

"What's wrong, brother, you didn't get caught doing something wrong, did you?"

"Don't talk nonsense. After all these years of cheating, when have I ever stretched my crotch?" Wu Qiong held the trembling palm, but her expression still hadn't completely calmed down.

From the beginning, Wu Qiong did realize that the two of them were not dead, and they must have come to seek revenge.

How could you miss such a great opportunity?After checking tickets for a long time, you can tell how much money a ghost has in his pocket just by smelling it. Anyway, in the eyes of ghost hunters, the old almanac has almost no meaning. Bringing money is just to save your joints in case of emergencies. Since everyone is in charge, it is better to let out a lot of blood here, and then wait for the boat to arrive at the Ghost Realm Castle to directly report the identities of the two. This will make money and get rewards at the same time, a real win-win situation.

The plan was perfect, and it worked exactly as it should.

Until Zhao Sanyuan took out the two cigarettes from his arms.

At that moment, Wu Qiong saw clearly what was in the boy's arms.

"Brother, do you think that after people die and enter the underworld, is it necessary for the living to burn scrolls down there?"

"What is it? A picture scroll? It is common to burn money, houses, and clothes. There are also those who burn golden boys and girls. The more unusual ones include those who burn paper and paintings."

Wu Qiong sighed, "Yes, that's the truth. After I saw two rolled-up paintings from the boy's arms just now, I suddenly remembered an incident that happened a hundred years ago in the underworld. Did our two brothers just act as a conspiracy? How long did it take to catch up with the chaos?"

The speaker was intentional, and the listener was also intentional. Wu Qian was suddenly enlightened and understood what his brother was talking about. Although it was a long time ago, he could still remember it vividly in retrospect. At that time, half of the underworld seemed to be in chaos.

"I remembered that the first ghost we saw when we were checking tickets for the first time that year was actually not a ghost, but a ghost. He had a few paintings in his arms, and within a few days I heard that a thief had stolen them. The book of life and death is causing a lot of trouble!"

"More than just a ghost? According to what other gangsters said privately, the one who made a big fuss took away the soul-inducing lamp on Naihe Bridge, poured several buckets of Meng Po's soup, and even took off his pants to urinate in front of the Sansheng Stone. Anyway, Each thing he did was more outrageous than the last. It is said that Mr. Black and White Wuchang and the Bull-headed Horse-faced Ghost Head were dispatched, but they failed to catch him. In the end, he rescued a ghost and returned to the earth."

The more the two brothers talked, the worse their faces became.

The chaos at that time had a profound impact. According to various clues and rumors, it was shown that the evil man was quite capable. After using the scrolls he brought with him, he was able to compete with Master Black and White Impermanence. Therefore, many people who witnessed it were Jifu shivered as soon as he saw the scroll, which was purely psychological.

Then again, Wu Qiong and Wu Qian had been checking tickets for so many years, and except for the original one, they had never encountered a ghost with a painting until Zhao Sanyuan appeared.

"what do you mean"

"What else could it mean? I can't afford to offend him. If that kid really has anything to do with that person back then, we wouldn't be able to stop him even if we tried to do it. We definitely can't stop him. It's better to accept bribes." If I let them go, even if the superiors find out, I will at most be charged with abuse of power, corruption and bribery, and I will be imprisoned for 80 or [-] years. But if I let them go directly, if that kid makes a fuss this time, I will You will be beaten as an accomplice and will definitely be thrown into hell, do you understand?"

"hiss--"

Wu Qian took a breath of cold air, thinking that his brother's mind was really fast.

It's the lesser of two evils. If no trouble happens this time, not only will you make a lot of money, but you can continue to live a good life as an employee. If trouble occurs, the severity of the consequences will be minimized.

high!
It's really high!

"By the way, the horse-faced Rakshasa once drank too much and spilled the beans, saying who was the one who caused trouble in the underworld back then?"

"Three Kings? Mountain Wolf? I can't remember clearly."
