Huang Quan's companion

There are many ghosts waiting to cross the river beside the Wangchuan River. Yang Jinshu and He Tang walked to the middle of the line, and before they could speak, an elder sister with eyebrows and lips drawn stopped them: "Hey, go to the back and line up!"

"..." Yang Jinshu said helplessly, "This lady..."

The elder sister stared at her almond-shaped eyes: "Ma'am what madam! Who are you?"

When He Tang heard this, he immediately pulled Yang Jinshu behind him, looked at the eldest sister with a smile and said, "This beautiful sister, we are not here to jump in the queue, we are just passing by to inquire about something."

This elder sister is about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, but she has a graceful figure, a haughty attitude, and extremely charming eyes. She loves to listen to beautiful words.Sure enough, when she heard He Tang's address, the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile, and she turned her head in a feigned shyness and said angrily, "Little brother can really talk."

"Where is it, I can't help seeing my sister."

Yang Jinshu turned his shoulders and raised his eyebrows—can't help it?

Oops, I forgot that there was a real boyfriend behind me... He Tang signaled him to talk later, then turned back and continued: "Sister, we are officials in charge of inspections in the underworld. , but recently we have been inspecting Yangjian for a long time, but found that there are fewer and fewer errands, sister, do you know what's going on?"

"So you are in charge?" The eldest sister became angry when she heard this. "You still have the nerve to ask me? It's like going to a temple fair by a messenger! They sent us to the underworld and left in a hurry, saying they were going Other places attract souls. I have heard that the underworld was not like this before, and the messengers would send people to the bank of the Wangchuan River, but look! We have to find a place to line up..."

An uncle behind her said: "There are not enough manpower in the underworld, just bear it and pass, just line up..."

"Is this a matter of queuing up?" the eldest sister said angrily, "the underworld has to pick up so many ghosts every day, and there are fewer errands, and we have to wait longer for reincarnation! My mother has long been waiting for a good birth in the next life." Well, in the end, I have been queuing for more than three months by the river, am I being wronged?"

Other ghosts in the team also joined in the fun:

"It's only been three months, why are you arguing! I've been waiting for half a year!"

"It's good to be able to come to the Wangchuan River. You haven't seen those who died with incomplete corpses and lost their souls. That's miserable. They can't even be reincarnated."

"Can the underworld take care of those ghosts who eat people everywhere? It's so annoying! If I didn't slip away so fast, I would have been eaten too!"

"that is……"

He Tang heard them complaining loudly, which attracted the guards nearby, and hurriedly pulled Yang Jinshu back to hide: "Don't let the guards find out!"

Yang Jinshu followed him, but the Shura umbrella in his hand was too eye-catching, and was stopped by the messenger after a while: "Wait! You two! What are you doing!"

Yang Jinshu is really not good at lying. He Tang took the initiative to answer: "We are going to inspect the Yangjian, and we happened to pass by here. I heard them talk about the reduction of the Yin and Yang, and I couldn't help but listen for a while..."

The other party showed doubts, He Tang sighed, and said distressedly: "Oh, it's not easy to be a ghost, you say, there are fewer and fewer ghosts with decent tokens, so we don't even have tokens." Wouldn’t it be even more insecure for the non-staff personnel? The higher-ups say that we will lay off staff, and we will have to suffer in hell... oh..."

"Are you recruited from other halls?" a errand asked, "The last time King Qin Guang asked for secondments from other halls, Emperor Song was the first to object. It seems that you are from other halls?"

He Tang was dumbfounded.Although he knew that the ten halls of Yama were ruled by ten different kings of Yama, but he only knew about the life and death of King Qin Guang, who was in charge of the human world, and didn't know anything about the other halls. How should he answer this?

Fortunately, Yang Jinshu used to deal with the underworld servants a lot, and he was more familiar with the structure of the underworld, so he said: "We came down from the Wangxiang Terrace, and it happened that there was an underworld servant who came to second us. Knowing some spells will give us a chance to make up for our mistakes, let us go to Yangjian for inspections. Although the inspections may take decades, but...it is better than being thrown into prison and suffering."

He specifically mentioned Wangxiangtai, implying that they were drawn from the fifth hall.The head of the fifth hall is the emperor Yan Luo. I heard that he is jealous and compassionate. He always sympathizes with those ghosts who have been wronged to death. down to the fifth hall.If Yincha is familiar with his nature, he should not doubt it.

Sure enough, after listening to his explanation, the errand casually said, "There are so many unjust dead ghosts in the fifth hall, could it be possible that all of them have been transferred? But it's only Tianzi Yanluo who can talk better, and the other halls..."

His companion touched his shoulder: "Speak less."

Realizing the slip of the tongue, the errand coughed dryly, and said seriously: "Since you are on errands for the underworld, don't move around, go wherever you need to go."

"Brothers, we..." He Tang hesitated, "We...are not proficient in business and got lost..."

"You can get lost here?" Yin Er was very speechless, and waved his hands impatiently, "Aren't you going to the world? Just go to the world of rebirth."

He Tang was a little puzzled, but Yang Jinshu immediately thanked him: "Thank you two big brothers."

"Go quickly, don't get in the way here."

"Yes Yes."

After the two messengers had left, He Tang asked in a low voice, "Where are you going to be reborn?"

"The place of reincarnation." Yang Jinshu frowned slightly, and said, "We can't go there, we will be caught."

"Where to go then?"

Yang Jinshu looked around and walked forward cautiously: "This is the tenth hall, the site of the wheel-running king. There are six bridges of gold, silver, jade, stone, wooden planks, and Naihe in the hall. Now we only see the Naihe bridge and the The wooden plank bridge, I haven't seen the other bridges yet. The tenth hall is located outside the Netherworld Fertile Stone, facing the five turbid places of the world in the east... Let's go east!"

He Tang hurriedly followed: "Where is that place?"

Yang Jinshu bowed his head: "The place where demons, ghosts, ghosts and Asuras mix, is extremely dangerous, and a place where turbid energy gathers."

"Then didn't we die in the past?!" He Tang couldn't understand why Yang Jinshu, who was afraid of ghosts, would volunteer to go there.

Yang Jinshu was also very helpless, he didn't want to go there unless necessary.

"He Tang, you and I should be like these ghosts, obediently crossing the Wangchuan River to drink Mengpo soup, but now we don't want to go, so we can only resort to dangerous tactics."

He Tang blinked and blinked: "I don't quite understand..."

"The wounds on your body..." Yang Jinshu pursed his lips, and continued, "Although you feel comfortable all over at the moment, those wounds only disappear in the underworld. What if the wounds become more serious when you really go to the underworld?"

He Tang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that this was what he was thinking about.

"There must be evil spirits in the five turbid places. Let's look for them. If we can get rid of the evil spirits on your body, we will leave the underworld."

"I'm gone!" He Tang didn't want him to take the risk, and refused, "The water in the dead man's ditch has already worked, and I'm really fine, Jin Shu, we still don't want to go to that kind of place where demons and ghosts run rampant. It's too dangerous!"

"Hetang..." Yang Jinshu hesitated to speak.

"Jin Shu, what's wrong with you? Why are you so weird?"

Yang Jinshu closed his eyes, couldn't help but raised his hand, touched his cheek, and said gently: "He Tang, your injury...is not healed."

"What are you talking about? Of course my wound is healed..." He Tang looked down, and the wound that had healed opened again, and black mist wrapped around the wound, circling like a snake, and his soul also appeared. Get angry.He Tang stared blankly at Yang Jinshu, and asked, "This...why? I obviously...don't feel any pain anymore!"

"Since we came to the bank of Wangchuan River, the wounds on your body have reappeared..." Yang Jinshu couldn't bear it, and wanted to hold him in his arms to comfort him, but He Tang pushed him away.

"Jin Shu, don't come close to me, this thing is resurgent, and it will definitely infect you, you...don't come close to me." He Tang walked out of the Shura umbrella, stood outside the umbrella and said in a panic, "Look, he started messing around on me. If...if you are also injured, then...then how much I feel sorry for you!"

He Tang took a few steps back, but found that as he got farther and farther away from the Shura Umbrella, the black mist on his body became heavier and heavier, and it was about to drown him.

Yang Jinshu chased after him in three steps at a time, pulled him back under the umbrella, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! Don't I feel sorry for you when you're hurt? You stay under the umbrella obediently and go with me. It always works out."

After entering under the Shura umbrella, the black mist on He Tang's body no longer spread, but he always felt an unknown fire burning in his chest.He realized that something was wrong, and tried his best to suppress the anger, jokingly said: "What if we two little ghosts break into the devil's cave in such a daze, and frighten the group of demons and goblins?"

Yang Jinshu didn't notice this subtle change, put his arms around his shoulders and continued to move forward, echoing: "They haven't seen anything before, how could they be scared by us? But we have to move faster and avoid the tenth hall the yin and yang."

"Don't worry, they are short-staffed and can't find us."

"Nonsense."

"Jinshu Jinshu, if I go through menopause, will you still like me?"

"What is menopause?"

"It just becomes irritable and unreasonable, and it is easy to feel wronged when you are aggressive to others, which is completely unreasonable."

"...Aren't you always like this?"

"..."

Yang Jinshu smiled lowly: "I'm kidding you."

He Tang was depressed: "You must not love me anymore."

"How could it be?" Yang Jinshu nodded his head and leaned over to kiss his face, "My wife is so cute, how can I not love him."

"I'm not cute in menopause!"

"When you reach menopause, I'll take you to bask in the moon and play the piano for you."

"why?"

"Calm your mind, cultivate your body and mind."

"...that's what old men do."

"Well, although we have lost the chance to grow old forever, we can bask in the moon for 100 years, and I will play 100-year tunes for you."

"Just playing the piano is boring."

"I can also play the flute, flute, and harp..."

"Wow you are so versatile!"

"yes……"

The two of them chattered all the way away, gossiping as usual, like an ordinary trip.

But not far behind the two, a strange soul followed unhurriedly. He was very different from those around him. His soul was very thin and translucent, with a faint red light flowing around him. The gravel was stuck in his neck, unable to move up and down, as if he was about to choke him to death—but he was already dead, and the stone was just a weird ornament hanging around his neck from a close look.

"Going out of the tenth hall?" He smiled lowly, with a certain kind of satisfaction, "Wolf Stone... Coincidentally, I'm going to look for it too."

He touched the small red gravel around his neck, and followed slowly.
