Retire from the human world

"Siberia is too far away, three days is only enough to go to Inner Mongolia to buy mutton barbecue... Hey, I said what are you doing squatting in the corner of my house? The sky in the provincial capital is so big, you can float wherever you want, and there are no ghost traffic rules!"

When Lei Cheng heard Shen Dong say this, the resentment on his body immediately became heavier, and he gritted his teeth:

"Get out, I want to leave too! But that thing in your arms ran back and squatted outside the anti-theft door the next morning. Do I dare to go out? I can't even go through the wall, this house is completely surrounded by that horrible atmosphere Living!"

Shen Dong looked down at the little civet cat, and suddenly remembered that Lei Cheng had indeed said last time that there was a hideous ghost following him.

Are ghosts afraid of cats?

No, in ghost stories, cats will cheat corpses after jumping over corpses, isn't it said that black cats can be psychic?I only heard that black dog blood can ward off evil spirits, but no one said that black cats can scare away ghosts!

Wait, Du Heng seems to have said that it is not a cat, and it does not eat fish.

"What the hell is this thing you raise?" What kind of recipe is this for eating mooncakes? Maybe it's an omnivore, could it be, "...Little raccoon?"

Just as Du Heng closed the door and picked up the key, he paused: "Do you like that?"

"Hey, I'm impatient to keep these things, I can't even feed myself." Shen Dong put the civet cat on the sofa, went into the kitchen and found half a bag of instant milk powder, trying to make milk paste to feed the cat, but found that there was no boiling water , I had to run out to find the electric kettle again.

The corner of Lei Cheng's mouth twitched to look at Shen Dong: "Which eye of yours came out of the window and thought that thing was instant noodles?"

Du Heng really didn't understand where this allusion came from. Shen Dong was already yelling in the kitchen: "I just joked about the little raccoon. Director Du's cat is normal even if it's not a cat. You don't have to worry about being caught by it." Eat it, since you are still alive for three days without us, it means it has no interest in you."

After plugging in the power and waiting for the water to boil, Shen Dong immediately ran into the room and pulled out two pieces of clothes, then rushed into the bathroom carelessly, and when he closed the door, there was the sound of splashing water inside. It's been a day or two, so both Du Heng and Lei Cheng know what he's doing.

But the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became a little weird.

Lei Cheng felt chills down his spine, it was strange, he was already dead, why did he still have the urge to break out in a cold sweat.

Uh, it must be because I am not very familiar with Director Du from Shanhai.com!It is said that this kind of thing is also common, the friend of a friend is crazy, and when the friend runs away halfway, the atmosphere will be so cold in an instant.

"That... I have met several times, and I haven't made any formal self-introduction yet. My name is Lei Cheng, and this year, oh no, I was 23 years old when I died..."

"You fell to your death. You were neither a good person nor a bad person when you were alive, but that shouldn't be your death date. You belonged to a dead ghost. It just happened to die on July [-]th, which coincides with the Shanhaiyigou Fengdu Shopping Festival. You didn't Mana will not affect the cultivation world and the mortal world, it is dispensable..."

Lei Cheng Petrochemical.

Du Heng glanced at him, and added without emotion: "This is the member information of Shanhai.com. If the Beimanshan front can be defended, you should be able to spend the rest of the year in peace, but even if you are not killed by the Nether Demon Take it away and eat it as a snack, and if there is no Guhun Pill after one year, Shanhai.com will be able to take back the membership card."

Lei Cheng's ghost showed signs of petrification and shattering.

"What Gushun Pill?" Shen Dong came out of the bathroom wiping his wet hair with a towel.

He eats fast, washes fast, and dresses fast. Basically, he does everything like a war. If someone looks lazy and out of shape, he will be suspected of being specially trained by the army.

"A panacea that can temporarily keep ghosts from disappearing, but the time limit is only one year."

"Oh, it turns out that panacea and medicine also have a shelf life—wait!" Shen Dong tossed off the towel, turned to look at Lei Cheng who was floating there motionless, and asked belatedly, "What about after that year?" ?”

"Natural ashes return to ashes, ashes return to ashes...or in other words, the soul flies away."

"I'm going, isn't it reincarnation?" Shen Dong felt that this kind of question must be asked clearly. Since ancient times, no one has died in life, and Lei Cheng is just unlucky and died first.

The civet cat didn't dare to approach Du Heng at all, and just huddled on the sofa and tried to pretend that it didn't exist.

In Lei Cheng's eyes, it was a distorted and terrifying black shadow, so he avoided it subconsciously, and kept floating opposite Du Heng. Although dead people are not very interesting, and you can't eat or play, but I suddenly heard that you only have one year "Can live", this blow is not small.

"If there is no deep resentment, the time that ghosts can exist is limited. As the name suggests, the Guhun Pill only extends this period..." Du Heng stared at Lei Cheng, thinking that this is really an ordinary ghost. What good people, Shen Dong seems to have no friends, is this the only one?

Maybe you can do something from him.

"...As for the underworld, it's long gone." Du Heng threw the bomb with a flat expression.

"What do you mean you're not here anymore?" Shen Dong said he couldn't understand.

"No one knows why. It is said that one day the entire underworld suddenly collapsed, and Yama of the Ten Palaces disappeared. The remaining ghosts and spirits went to the realm of cultivation to take refuge temporarily."

Lei Cheng suddenly realized, no wonder he has never seen black and white impermanence to take away the soul of the dead.

Shen Dong had a strange expression: "Then who is doing the reincarnation?"

"After a person dies, the soul will immediately disappear and enter the cycle of reincarnation." Du Heng felt strange, this kind of order of heaven and earth, what does it do?

Shen Dong opened his mouth, closed it again, and only after a while did he say:

"You mean, reincarnation is now a fully automatic assembly line, the company in Huangquan Hell has closed down, and black and white impermanence are all laid off and re-employed? No, it is said that there are [-] evil spirits in the [-]th floor of hell. Let them run around. Is it okay?"

"How is that possible? All that rubbish has been thrown into the Netherworld."

"..."

It is unreasonable if the barrier of Beiman Mountain is not broken! !

"Woo—" It happened that the water in the electric kettle made a long beeping, which brought Shen Dong back to his senses.

Come on, anyway, this is something to worry about after death. It is useless to think about it now. The key is that Lei Cheng wants to continue to "live". Doesn't it mean that he has to take the Soul Immobilization Pill every year?It's as if you take the antidote of the three corpses brain magic pill every year or you will die, and it's like being addicted to drugs. It turns out that not only is it difficult to be a human being, but it is even more difficult to be a ghost.

"Is Guhundan Shanhai Tesco selling some? Why didn't I see it?"

Du Heng didn't answer.There are too many things that Shen Dong didn't see, it's more than just the Soul Immobilization Pill.

Over there, Shen Dong searched the kitchen for a long time but couldn't find a bowl without a gap. He remembered the 100 yuan bonus he had just gotten, went downstairs to buy barbecue beer and didn't eat a bite, and then came to the Xishan Reservoir Museum in the Nether Realm. During the three-day trip, not to mention the money in my pocket, I lost all my clothes, shoes and keys. The more I thought about it, the more I gritted my teeth. If I had known it, I would have put it on the membership card of Shanhai.

——Are you sure?Beiman Mountain's enchantment is broken, no one knows how long Shanhai.com will be out of business!

Depressed, Shen Dong walked into the bathroom to wash the cup for brushing his teeth and make milk powder for the civet cat, then threw the two pieces of clothes he had changed into the kitchen to use as rags.

Hey, it's still a famous brand, and it's not bad and the texture is tough.

Wait, there seems to be something in the pocket.

Shen Dong pulled out a thin piece of sackcloth, just thinking that the handkerchief was ridiculous, but then he stretched out his hand - the handkerchief rolled down like an old-fashioned folding phone book, rolled from the kitchen to the gate, it was a long sack!

"...Are you doing magic?" Lei Cheng was silent for a second, then raised his head, "It's pretty good, the ghost didn't see the key!"

Shen Dong picked up the sack with black lines all over his face, muttering that this thing was actually used by vendors in the night market to pave the floor. He picked it up and prepared to roll it up, then threw it in the corner of the living room to wait for it to get moldy, but he tried hard.

"Dingling~clanging."

Two things fell out of the sack and rolled on the living room floor.

A gorgeously carved dagger is inlaid with a row of rubies, and a golden scepter over half a meter long. The head of the scepter is a mighty eagle, and there are shining gold rings on both sides.

"You...you robbed the museum?" Lei Cheng swore he had seen this thing before. Really, when he visited the provincial museum, he even complained around the glass cover that the shape was far worse than that of Warcraft.

Shen Dong squatted there dumbfounded, then quickly jumped up and closed the curtains:

"I said that I don't know how this thing got into my pocket, no, I don't know why this thing is in the pocket of this dress, do you believe it?"

Before Du Heng could speak, the civet cat shook his head decisively.

"..."

Shen Dong raised his forehead, threw away the sack in his hand, and then looked at Du Heng seriously, "By the way, does Shanhaiyi buy stolen goods?"

"There are at least a hundred undead locked in this dagger, and the scepter has spiritual power... 17."

"Are you kidding me, Egyptian artifacts are worth this much?"

"There are many things in the world of comprehension that are hundreds of thousands of years old. Now monsters with successful cultivation will sell the bottles and jars they collected back then to humans. The value of the 17 yuan is all on the one hundred thousand-year-old undead. It's worthless to take it to the world of comprehension." Du Heng didn't blink, but as for the handicraft of carving?There are people in the cultivation world who specialize in refining magic weapons, and the basic craft is to engrave the 28-star Big Dipper Formation on a jade hairpin.

"That's fine, 17 is 17! The money I owe to Shanhai.com will be written off, and then... 16 is enough to buy a few Soul-fixing Pills?"

"Two."

"Hey, steal money!" Selling white powder is not so expensive!

Du Heng was not annoyed at all, and said in a leisurely manner: "The only reason is to sit and eat. How can there be a ghost who wants to continue wandering in the world and not make money? Even black and white are sending international express."

Shen Dong opened his mouth wide, and Lei Cheng lay on his stomach and almost fell through the sofa downstairs.

It's so sad, it turns out that after death, I have to find a way to find a job to "support" myself.

"However, it's hard to find a job in the realm of comprehension. You must at least pass the training assessment for the dead ghost...Shen Dong, you too!"

Shen Dong was silently mourning for Lei Cheng, when he heard the roll call, he almost jumped up, "Wait, why am I going, I'm still alive!"

"I can also let you die today."

"..."

The civet cat buried its head in the cup and licked the milk, purring, but it didn't hear anything, that's all.

"You are an employee of Shanhai.com, you don't need to pay for the training yourself, Lei Cheng is different, and if you don't go, do you think you can find that training class?" Du Heng saw Shen Dong's eyes fall on the TV, So he said immediately, "Don't think about it, until the barrier of Beiman Mountain is restored, no programs will be broadcast on TV."

"Okay, you won!" Shen Dong sat down on the broken sofa in frustration, "I don't understand, what are you going to do with all this effort? Is there such a shortage of people in the cultivation world? If you catch one, you won't let go Dragged into the water?"

Those doubts that were too lazy to deal with before began to churn in his heart, and the more Shen Dong thought about it, the more something went wrong: "My surname is Shi? Or is this the pronunciation?"

"No." Du Heng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes froze when he thought of Zhan Yuan's random address in the police station.

"You said that I'm not a human. Could it be that I'm a monster." This is what Shen Dong couldn't understand the most, and it was also what he didn't believe the most.For more than 20 years, he had no illness, disaster or accident. He neither knows how to fetch objects from the air, nor does he know the invisibility technique.

"No..." The entire cultivation world is not considered a mortal.

"You know my parents." Given that he was an orphan, or something wrong with his background?

"...you have no parents." Only the swordsmith.

"You knew me before I came to Shanhai.com?"

"No, it wasn't 'you' I knew before."

Shen Dong was at a loss, neither this nor that was wrong, what the hell was going on.

"Could it be that you lack an apprentice?" Please don't say that your skeleton is strange, and only you can carry forward this bloody line of the Buddha's palm.

"I don't accept apprentices."

"Will you tell me the truth?"

"No." Du Heng said decisively.

Shen Dong only had the strength to roll his eyes, watching the little civet cat rolling around on the ground holding the cup, his teeth itching: "Then why on earth do you insist on me going to the cultivation world to dawdle?"

"About this, I can only say..." Du Heng said word by word with an expression that was definitely not a joke, "Without you, I cannot become a fairy!"

"what?"
