The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"Where do you get your food?"

Chu Jingshuo racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. Didn't they agree to starve together? Why was he the only one who was hungry?

Thinking of this, Chu Jingshuo stood up and walked to Lu Shi's side, but his eyes only fell on the pile of food. "We are all doing things for the public, I think we can cooperate."

Lu Shi happily drank a glass of beer with Zixia, letting out a comfortable sigh from his throat. Then he responded to Chu Jingshuo's question, "How do you want to cooperate?"

Chu Jingshuo said slowly, "I'm quite capable, and I'll be able to contribute as much as possible when the time comes. But if I'm still hungry, and the situation gets bad, there won't be anyone left to turn things around."

Chu Jingshuo was obviously very confident in his abilities, and firmly believed that he would be the protagonist of this mission. Therefore, when he said this, his face was full of arrogance, and he did not take Lu Shi and Zixiao into consideration at all, as if they were just his companions in completing the mission.

Lu Shi finally understood what he said.

Empty glove white wolf.

Isn’t this just getting something for free?

"If you really don't know how to cooperate, I can give you a suggestion."

Chu Jingshuo: "What suggestions?"

Lu Shi: “Pay.”

Chu Jingshuo: "Okay."

"how much is it?"

Lu Shi looked at the delicious food on the table and gave a fair price: "300."

"can."

Chu Jingshuo took out his cell phone from his pocket, but suddenly remembered that there was no signal here and he couldn't transfer the money.

"Can you change your career after you get out?"

"Row!"

The two reached an agreement, but Chu Jingshuo and Zixiao still disliked each other. After dinner, Chu Jingshuo returned to sit under the tree, while Lu Shi and Zixiao each found a tree to lie down, quietly waiting for the night to fall.

Time passes quietly like quicksand. Before you know it, the bright moon hanging high in the sky is like a bright lamp, casting its cool light on the earth.

At this moment, the entire sky seemed to be covered by a mysterious black veil, tightly wrapped. Apart from the crescent moon, there was no star to be seen.

Although we were in the middle of a forest, an unusually eerie atmosphere permeated the air. Absolute silence reigned, not a single insect or bird chirping could be heard; the silence was eerie.

Such a quiet environment is exactly the time when people are most likely to fall asleep.

Lu Shi sat there, his eyelids becoming heavier, his head moving like a chicken pecking at rice, and his consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

Zixiao on the side was not much better, yawning several times in a row.

Only Chu Jingshuo remained highly alert, scanning everything around him with sharp eyes, not missing any slight movement, his expression serious and focused, not daring to relax at all.

At midnight, this barren land finally changed.

Lu Shi and Zi Xiao's sleepiness suddenly evaporated, and they stared at the ever-changing scene in front of them with bated breath.

Suddenly, in the originally pitch-black night, a faint green light slowly emerged, winding out from the ancient stone tablet and quickly spreading in all directions, the color changing from dark to light.

The stone tablet, which could not be seen during the day, slowly revealed three extremely clear characters at this moment - Ghost Gate.

However, before Lu Shi and others could recover from this shocking scene, something even more shocking happened again.

Just in front of the stone tablet, a huge vortex-shaped portal suddenly appeared on the ground.

The vortex gate was spinning at an extremely fast speed, emitting a dazzling green light.

After the green light disappeared, two figures, one black and one white, appeared in front of them.

The white figure is tall and thin, wearing a white tall hat, holding a white mourning stick, with blood-red eyes flashing with a faint light, and a long scarlet tongue hanging from the corner of his mouth, with a strange smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Black was short, stocky, and had shiny dark skin. He wore a black official hat and held a black soul-catching lock in his hand. His large copper-bell eyes were filled with murderous intent.

They walked away slowly until they disappeared.

In the atmosphere filled with green light, Lu Shi on the tree and Chu Jingshuo hiding behind the tree met eyes.

The next second, Lu Shi and Zixiao jumped down from the tree, and Chu Jingshuo also rushed over to join them.

Several people hid in the woods, discussing what they had just seen.

Chu Jingshuo was the first to ask, "Was that the Black and White Impermanence?"

Lu Shi neither nodded nor shook his head, but just frowned and thought quietly.

"Look at that outfit, the result is pretty much the same."

But Lu Shi always felt something was strange.

Are those two ghost messengers going to collect souls?

But considering the number of ghosts in the mortal world, their efficiency in collecting souls is too low.

And this stone tablet in front of us, this gate of hell is too low.

Unable to figure out the reason, after thinking it over again and again, Lu Shi decided to hold off for the time being.

"We'll see."

Let’s see what those two ghost messengers brought back.

Chu Jingshuo also felt that it was better to be cautious about this matter. After all, although there was only one character difference between "ghost messenger" and "ghost", there was a world of difference between them.

So a few of them hid quietly behind the tree, waiting for the arrival of the two ghost officials.

It didn't take long before the ghost catcher used his chain to hook back a ghost.

Seeing this, Chu Jingshuo was somewhat convinced of their identities, but he still didn't dare to be careless. His intuition told him that things were not that simple.

So when the ghost disappeared at the "Gate of Ghost", Lu Shi and Chu Jingshuo looked at each other and followed in without hesitation before the vortex gate disappeared.

The two men displayed their magical powers. Lu Shi took out cinnabar and a pen to draw a talisman of invisibility and stuck it on his body.

Chu Jingshuo took out a jade pendant with complex patterns engraved on it. After reciting a spell silently, Chu Jingshuo hid himself. If Lu Shi had not sent out a trace of his spiritual sense to investigate, his location would not have been discovered.

As for Zixiao, he didn't need any of these. He just walked in openly and no one noticed him at all.

They followed them stealthily as they walked through the "Yellow Spring Road", crossed the "Naihe Bridge", and then watched the hooked ghosts "drink Mengpo Soup" and then be taken into the "Hall of Yama".

They huddled together at the door, carefully adjusting their breathing, and poked their heads out at the entrance of the hall.

At this moment, the "King of Hell" on the high platform slammed the chopping board, making a crisp sound.

He stroked his long beard and shouted sternly, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

The ghost being judged had already turned pale with fear, his body trembling constantly as he stammered, "My name is... my name is Li Ming."

Hearing this name, "King of Hell" narrowed his eyes slightly and began to flip through the thick book of life and death in his hand.

After a moment, he nodded slowly and said in a cold tone, "Well, after investigation, although you haven't committed any major evil in your life, you have committed minor evils one after another. Considering that you still have a trace of goodness in your heart, I will allow you to return to the human world and experience an ordinary life."

"Thank you very much for your mercy!" Upon hearing this, the ghost felt as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

The entire trial process was as simple and quick as a child playing house. In the blink of an eye, the ghost had been judged and was about to be sent to the path of reincarnation.

Several people stared with wide eyes, watching the little ghost leap into the reincarnation path and disappear without a trace.

At this point, everything seems to have come to an end and become clear.

This is the case handled by the underworld, and they have no right to interfere in the human world.

But Lu Shi didn't think so.

When they returned to the stone tablet again, the three words "Ghost Gate" on the stone tablet had already disappeared.

The surroundings returned to darkness, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Only gusts of cold wind blew from an unknown direction, bringing chills.

Chu Jingshuo lowered his head to straighten the wrinkles on his suit and was about to go back to report, but was stopped by Lu Shi.

"What do you think is the truth of this matter?"

Chu Jingshuo thought for a moment and replied, "What we saw tonight, isn't this the gate of hell?"

Hearing this, Lu Shi smiled slightly, but there was an elusive meaning in his smile.

She shook her head slightly, "No."

"First, there are no red spider lilies on either side of the Yellow Springs."

"Second, there are no evil spirits in the Forgotten River."

"Third, Mengpo soup has no effect."

"Fourth, perhaps you could look behind you."

Chu Jingshuo's expression gradually became solemn. He slowly turned around and his eyes fell behind him.

The ghost who had just been brought back by the ghost catcher and who had been witnessed jumping into the reincarnation path appeared there again.

He was standing quietly not far from them, staring ahead with empty eyes.

Chu Jingshuo couldn't help but be shocked, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

I had clearly seen this ghost enter the cycle of reincarnation with my own eyes before, so why would he appear here at this moment?

So...what is the truth of the matter?

Lu Shi rolled his eyes suddenly, "Isn't it clear? It's fake."

She just wanted to say that the King of Hell in the small world was very different from what she had imagined.

One is handsome and the other is a bearded old man.

Fortunately, the old man was fake.

But the book of life and death in his hand is real...

So the underworld is not doing anything now, is it because the Book of Life and Death is lost?
