The news of the Feng family being taken away by the police spread throughout the village in less than half a day. The more one didn't know the whole story, the stronger one's imagination was. The day before yesterday, Old Feng had just been buried, and today, the Feng family was wearing silver handcuffs and getting into the police car. No one would believe that there was no relationship between the two. Based on the piecing together of sporadic news and the little bit of hearsay, everyone actually guessed the whole thing.
After dinner, Xia Yuyang strolled to the paper shop and bought a knife of yellow paper from the boss. The boss looked at him and asked,"Is it for Old Feng again?"
"Yeah, last time, I wanted to apologize to him for ruining the old man's funeral. When I heard about his family today, I felt quite sad. I wanted to burn some paper money for the old man and hope that he would have a better life in the other world.”
"Young man, you're really kind-hearted. Alright, take this yellow paper. I won't charge you anymore.”The boss smoked his cigarette and pushed the money back.
"The matter of burning paper requires sincerity. You can't just take this yellow paper for free.”Xia Yuyang pushed the money back and left without waiting for the change.
Looking at his back, the shopkeeper shook his head." Some people are worse than animals, but some have the heart of a Buddha. Old Feng, you're really bitter. The child you raised is ungrateful. It's not as sincere as a stranger to you. Sigh."”
After returning to his room, Xia Yuyang pretended that he was not feeling well and rejected Cheng Zhengdong's invitation to play cards. He took the yellow paper and folded the gold ingots seriously. Oh right, he heard that Old Feng had broken his leg when his head was pushed down and his legs were not very agile. He should fold another transportation tool for him. With a flick of his fingers, a lifelike little paper donkey appeared in Xia Yuyang's palm.
In the middle of the night, Xia Yuyang waited until there was no movement in the two rooms around him. He took something to the courtyard and lit it up like last time. There were hundreds of gold and silver pagodas, but they could be converted into tens of thousands of pieces of money in the netherworld. After tonight, the " encounter " between Cheng Zhengdong and Old Feng would be completely over.
Seeing that the paper ingots washi donkeys were almost completely burnt, Xia Yuyang was just about to throw the envelope with Old Feng's name on it into the fire when a sudden gust of wind rolled up all the paper ashes. The paper money ashes that were as thin as cicada wings swirled higher and higher.
Xia Yuyang's pupils constricted.
Before he could react, the white-robed Wuchang had already appeared in front of him. It was still the same gloomy face of a dead man. However, this time, he was holding a dark red lantern with the words 'East Mountain Underworld' written on it. Xia Yuyang knew that the ashes of the burnt joss paper flying up was a sign that it had been taken away by the ghosts and deities of the underworld. However, he never expected that White Impermanence, who was the head of the messengers of death, would actually do something like stealing a treasure. Was the salary in the netherworld so low?
"Brother Xia, we meet again." It was still the same calm voice, but there was a strange joy of having just received the money.
Are we very close? You're even calling me brother? Xia Yuyang rolled his eyes silently in his heart.
"Master Bai, is there something important for you to visit so late at night?”
Hearing Xia Yuyang's question, Wuchang Ghost was stunned." Oh no! He had almost forgotten about the important matter! "Now that the Ghost Festival has not arrived, all the ghosts should have stayed in the underworld obediently. However, today, the soldiers guarding the Ghost Gate took a nap and their keys were stolen by two restless ghosts. Not only did the two ghosts slip away, but they also released more than 1,800 ghosts. The underworld tried its best to stop them, but only 1,700 were captured. The remaining 100 or so fled to the human world. Among them were the two leading ghosts. I led Ox-Head Horse-Face and my subordinates, the Twelve Yin Messengers, to the human world to capture them." When I passed by here, I remembered that I still have you as a helper. Come with me. The first recruitment test for new employees has arrived.”
Xia Yuyang was speechless. Old Brother Bai, how could you use the high-sounding excuse of a new employee recruitment test to explain the mistake of the Inferno?
"Time is of the essence. Let's set off immediately!”As Wuchang Ghost spoke, he wrapped the chain in his hand around Xia Yuyang's body. Xia Yuyang watched helplessly as his body fell to the ground, and his soul body floated into the distance uncontrollably with the chain.
"Brother Bai! At least let me go back to my room and lie down! If someone woke up in the middle of the night and saw me lying in the courtyard 'breathless', they would think that someone had died!”
"It's too late! There's news from Ox-Head and Horse-Face that ghosts have entered the residential area. We must do our best to capture them to prevent the matter from getting out of hand. We'll go and return as soon as possible!”
……
"Alright, let's split up here. You head towards the district in the southeast, I'll be in charge of the southwest. We don't know which direction the two malicious ghosts have fled to. With your current strength, you can deal with the other little ghosts easily, but you'll be at a disadvantage against the malicious ghosts. Take this incense. If you encounter any tricky problems, burn it and send me a message.”
The Impermanence Ghost stuffed a square inch piece of earthy yellow incense into Xia Yuyang's hand. In a breath, the ghost had already floated a hundred meters away, leaving Xia Yuyang's soul in a mess in the wind.
Xia Yuyang sighed and resigned himself to his fate as he floated towards the residential area that White Impermanence had pointed out. As soon as he arrived, he felt that something was wrong. The entire residential area was filled with Yin Qi. In this situation, there were either a large number of Yin spirits or the two malicious ghosts hidden here. Xia Yuyang sincerely hoped that it was the former. If it was the latter, he, the new Life Impermanence, would probably die here today.
Following the Yin Qi, he arrived at the building closest to the inside. Looking at the thick Yin Qi on the 25th floor, Xia Yuyang swallowed and subconsciously pressed the elevator button. When the elevator came down, Xia Yuyang realized that he could have floated up by himself.
Forget it, we're humans. Even if we're a soul now, we still have to take the elevator obediently. It's not like we're floating around all day. With this thought in mind, Xia Yuyang floated into the elevator.
As the elevator gradually approached the 25th floor, the lights in the elevator began to flash like classic scenes from horror movies. In the dim light, Xia Yuyang muttered to himself, You're a life impermanence now. You don't have the right to be afraid of ghosts. You're not worthy!
It hit something, and the entire elevator shook. The " 25 " button flashed and went out, and the doors slowly opened.
Xia Yuyang, who hadn't mentally prepared himself, looked up and saw the red and green hem hanging down in front of him. There was only one thought in his mind: Whatever he was afraid of came! My life is over!
