My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chen Yu looked at the people sitting around the table, wondering how to explain the affairs of the ghost world.

In this world of cultivating immortals, the existence of the ghost world is common knowledge, but they probably have never heard of terms like "ghost world netizens" and "grabbing a place to be reborn".

Murong Fu waved his white jade folding fan, a smile on his lips: "Fellow Daoist Chen, are you really going to the ghost world?"

Chen Yu scratched his head and laughed dryly: "Brother Murong, you're joking. The ghost world is a place we can't just go to casually."

He secretly glanced at Lin Qingxue and found that she was frowning and looked thoughtful.

Liu Ruyan licked the spicy noodle residue on her fingers and asked curiously, "Chen Yu, is your online friend from the ghost world a man or a woman? Is she pretty?"

Chen Yu almost choked on the spicy noodles and waved his hands repeatedly: "Fairy Liu misunderstood, we are just ordinary friends, ordinary friends."

Li Xiangjun blinked her big eyes, her face full of admiration: "Master, is the ghost world fun? Are there a lot of strange things?"

Chen Yu cleared his throat and spoke nonsense in a serious tone, "The ghost world is eerie, with ghost lights floating everywhere. There are also all kinds of ghosts with green faces, fangs, and bloody mouths. They specialize in catching people alive to eat..."

Wang Ergou was so scared that he hid behind Murong Fu, trembling: "Brother Chen, please stop talking, I'm scared."

Seeing Wang Ergou's cowardly look, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Ergou, you are too timid. You are even afraid of ghost stories."

Wang Ergou poked half of his head out and whispered, "Brother Chen, is the ghost world really that scary?"

Chen Yu was about to continue to scare Wang Ergou, but suddenly remembered the task given by the system and could not delay any longer.

He pulled out a peculiarly shaped pocket watch from his worn cloth bag, inlaid with a sparkling red gem.

"What kind of treasure is this?" Murong Fu asked curiously.

Chen Yu smiled mysteriously, "This is a 'Door of Anywhere' that can travel through time and space."

Everyone looked confused, obviously not understanding what "traveling through time and space" meant.

Chen Yu didn't explain and just pressed the red gem on the pocket watch.

The pocket watch emitted a dazzling light, and a vortex-shaped portal appeared before everyone.

"This is the entrance to the ghost world," Chen Yu pointed at the portal and said, "I'll be back soon. You wait here for me."

Lin Qingxue stepped forward and grabbed Chen Yu's sleeve, her tone filled with worry: "Chen Yu, the ghost world is dangerous, you must be careful."

Chen Yu patted the back of Lin Qingxue's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Fairy Qingxue, I'm blessed with a long life, and nothing will happen to me."

He turned to Liu Ruyan, Li Xiangjun, Wang Ergou, and Murong Fu and said, "Just wait here for me and don't run around."

After saying that, Chen Yu stepped into the portal and his figure disappeared in an instant.

The portal also disappeared, leaving everyone stunned.

"Master, Senior Brother Chen/Fellow Daoist Chen..."

On the other side of the portal was a gray space, and the air was filled with a cold and ghostly aura.

Chen Yu shuddered. This ghost world really lived up to its name.

He looked around and found himself in a wilderness. In the distance, he could vaguely see some strange-looking buildings, which should be the underworld that netizens in the ghost world mentioned.

He was about to set off for the underworld when he suddenly heard a sinister laugh behind him.

"Hey, hey, hey, welcome to the ghost world, young man."

Chen Yu looked back and saw a short, ferocious-looking ghost standing behind him, holding a long chain in his hand.

"Who are you?" Chen Yu asked vigilantly.

The ghost officer grinned, revealing two rows of sharp teeth: "I am the patrol officer of the ghost world, responsible for arresting living people who trespass into the ghost world."

He waved the chain and rushed towards Chen Yu.

Chen Yu dodged quickly, the speed of this ghost was much faster than he imagined.

"Young man, just surrender yourself, or you will suffer physical pain." The ghost said with a sinister smile.

While dodging the ghost's attack, Chen Yu took out a bag of spicy strips from his cloth bag.

"Want to eat?" he asked.

The ghost was stunned for a moment, looked at the spicy strips in Chen Yu's hand, and swallowed his saliva.

Chen Yu tore open the package and handed one to the ghost messenger: "Try it, it tastes good."

The ghost took the spicy strips, hesitated for a moment, and put them in his mouth.

"Hmm? What is this? It tastes so unique..." The ghost said vaguely while chewing spicy strips.

Chen Yu handed him another one: "Eat more if you like it."

The ghost took the spicy strips and ate them voraciously, completely forgetting his mission to capture Chen Yu.

Chen Yu took the opportunity to ask, "Big Brother, do you know how to get to the underworld?"

The ghost messenger ate spicy noodles while mumbling, "The underworld... just keep going along this road... and you'll see it..."

Chen Yu thanked the ghost messenger and walked along the path he pointed out. Along the way, he saw all kinds of ghosts, some with hideous faces, some with strange shapes, and some even looked exactly like humans.

Chen Yu looked at these ghosts curiously, but he didn't feel scared.

After all, he is a modern man from the 21st century. What kind of monsters and demons has he not seen?

In his eyes, these ghosts are just cosplay enthusiasts.

After walking for about an hour, Chen Yu finally saw the underworld that the ghost had mentioned.

A majestic city appeared before his eyes, with two big words written on the city gate: Underworld.

When Chen Yu reached the city gate, two ghost soldiers holding long spears blocked his way.

"Who is coming?" asked one of the ghost soldiers.

"I'm here to look for someone," Chen Yu said. "I have a friend who works in the underworld."

"Who is your friend?" asked another ghost soldier.

"His name is..." Chen Yu suddenly remembered that he didn't know the name of his netizen in the ghost world.

He only knew that the other person's online name was "Black and White Impermanence".

"His name is Black and White Impermanence," Chen Yu said stiffly.

The two ghost soldiers looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes.

"Black and White Impermanence? Never heard of them," one of the ghost soldiers said, "There is no ghost messenger with that name in the underworld."

"Impossible," Chen Yu said, "He clearly said he worked in the underworld."

"Boy, how dare you tease us?" another ghost soldier said angrily, "I think you are tired of living!"

The two ghost soldiers raised their spears and were about to stab Chen Yu.

Chen Yu quickly stepped back and took out a pack of instant noodles from his cloth bag.

"Brothers, don't be angry, don't be angry," he said with a smile, "Come, try my instant noodles, they taste good."

The two ghost soldiers were stunned when they saw the instant noodles in Chen Yu's hand.

Chen Yu tore open the package and handed the instant noodles to them: "Try it, this is a delicacy."

The two ghost soldiers hesitated for a moment, but finally took the instant noodles. They tasted it carefully, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"What is this? It tastes so delicious!" said one of the ghost soldiers.

"It's delicious, really delicious!" said another ghost soldier.

The two ghost soldiers wolfed down the instant noodles, completely forgetting their mission to capture Chen Yu.

Chen Yu took the opportunity to sneak into the underworld. The underworld was full of ghosts, some waiting in line to be reincarnated, some being judged, and some wandering around.

Following the instructions of the netizen from the ghost world, Chen Yu came to a magnificent palace.

There is a plaque hanging at the entrance of the main hall with three big characters written on it: Hall of Yama.

Chen Yu took a deep breath and walked into the Yama Palace. The Yama Palace was eerie and terrifying, with hideous-looking ghost officials standing on both sides.

In the center of the hall sat a tall, dignified man, who was none other than the King of Hell.

When the King of Hell saw Chen Yu, he frowned and said, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the King of Hell's Palace!"

Chen Yu quickly saluted: "Lord Yama, I'm here to look for someone. I have a friend who works in the underworld."

"Who is your friend?" asked the King of Hell.

"His name is Black and White Impermanence," said Chen Yu.

The King of Hell pondered for a moment and said, "Black and White Impermanence? I seem to have some impression of him. He is in charge of the Book of Life and Death. You should go find him."

The King of Hell pointed to a door deep inside the hall and said, "The Book of Life and Death is in there."

Chen Yu thanked the King of Hell and walked towards the door. He pushed it open and walked in.

In the room, there was a huge book, which was the Book of Life and Death.

Chen Yu opened the Book of Life and Death and found his name. He saw a number written after his life span: 78.

"78 years old? Isn't that too short?" Chen Yu muttered dissatisfiedly.

He took a ballpoint pen from his pocket and added two zeros after 78, making it 7800.

"That's right," Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction.

He then turned to the names of Lin Qingxue, Liu Ruyan and Li Xiangjun, and added a few zeros after their lifespans.

After doing all this, Chen Yu left the room contentedly. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw the King of Hell standing at the door with a sullen face.

"Boy, what did you do?!" the King of Hell roared.

Chen Yu was startled and quickly explained: "Lord Yama, I... I just changed my lifespan."

"Change your lifespan?" The King of Hell was so angry that his beard stood on end. "The Book of Life and Death is no joke! How dare you tamper with it so casually? Your crime is unforgivable!"

The King of Hell waved his hand, and several ghost officials immediately rushed up and surrounded Chen Yu.

Chen Yu knew he was in trouble, and quickly took out spicy strips and instant noodles from his cloth bag.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down," he said with a smile. "Come, try my spicy noodles and instant noodles. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the taste."

The King of Hell was stunned when he saw the spicy strips and instant noodles in Chen Yu's hands.

He had lived for so long and had never seen anything so strange and bizarre.

Chen Yu tore open the package and handed the spicy strips and instant noodles to the King of Hell: "King of Hell, try it, this is a delicacy from the human world."

The King of Hell hesitated for a moment, but still took the spicy strips and instant noodles.

He took a bite and his eyes lit up.

"What is this? The taste is so unique!" exclaimed the King of Hell.

He finished the spicy strips and instant noodles in one breath and licked his lips with satisfaction.

"Boy, where did you get these spicy strips and instant noodles?" asked the King of Hell.

"I brought this from the human world," Chen Yu said. "How is it? Doesn't it taste good?"

"Not bad, really good!" Lord Yama praised endlessly, "I have lived for so long and have never eaten anything so delicious."

"As long as Lord Yama likes it," Chen Yu said with a smile, "I'll bring it to you often in the future."

"Good, good!" said the King of Hell happily. "Boy, although you made a mistake this time, I will not hold you responsible for this because you brought me such a delicious meal."

"Thank you, Lord Yama!" Chen Yu hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

"By the way, boy, you said you were here to look for someone?" asked the King of Hell.

"Yes," Chen Yu said, "I have a friend who works in the underworld. His name is Black and White Impermanence."

The King of Hell pondered for a moment and said, "He is indeed a ghost messenger from the underworld. However, he has already been reincarnated."

"Reincarnation?" Chen Yu was a little disappointed.

"Yes," said the King of Hell, "but before he left, he left a VIP reincarnation spot for his friend."

The King of Hell took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Yu: "This is the VIP reincarnation quota. With this, you can go to the human world to reincarnate at any time."

Chen Yu took the token and was overjoyed. He had originally just wanted to complete the task assigned by the netizen in the ghost world, but he hadn't expected to get a VIP spot for reincarnation.

This is such a pleasant surprise!

"Thank you, Lord Yama!" Chen Yu thanked him again.

"You're welcome," said the King of Hell with a smile, "If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me."

Chen Yu said goodbye to the King of Hell and left the Hell Palace. He was in high spirits as he received his VIP spot for reincarnation.

This one-day trip to the ghost world was really fruitful!
