Fatty Wang put his official title on his forehead, glared at the two messengers, and asked in a deep voice: "What? How dare you commit treason!"

As soon as the words fell, the two ghost messengers felt a huge underworld power gushing out from their official positions.

"What's going on? How can there be such a strong power? It's even stronger than those two in the underworld!"

Fatty Wang snorted coldly, and when he saw the fear on the ghost soldiers' faces, he straightened his back even more.

He thought to himself, is this what it feels like to hold a fourth-rank official position?
It doesn't seem as scary as Zhang Qilin said.

On the contrary, this feeling is quite refreshing. Using a fourth-rank official to deal with a ninth-rank Yinchai is a piece of cake!

So, he looked at the two underworld officials and shouted loudly: "The highest rank in the underworld is only the sixth rank, how can you compare with me? You don't kneel down when you see Ben Zhengqin! Is Ben Zhengqin's position too low and not worthy of your kneeling? Or do you not see me as a Zhengqin and want to commit treason?"

How could the two Yin Cha have so much time to think at this moment?
He felt that the dark power on his body suddenly doubled in strength, and he knelt down in front of Fatty Wang.

"Sir, I was blind and didn't recognize you! I didn't recognize you as Master Zhengqin. I hope you can forgive me and let me go!"

"Yes, sir. We really didn't recognize you as Master Zhengqin. We thought you were a wandering ghost. We wanted to check your identity out of duty."

Fatty Wang turned his head away, not wanting to listen to the two evil servants' explanation.

But seeing them kneeling in front of me, I still felt comfortable.

He secretly complained: "Brother Zhang Hao's fourth-rank official position is really useful! No wonder it is said that this thing has absolute suppressive power against ghosts. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true!"

He couldn't help but feel a little proud. He glanced at the two ghost messengers and rebuked them in a deep voice: "A few days ago, I taught a ghost messenger a lesson and told them not to talk about their superiors without permission! I didn't expect that I would catch someone red-handed today. Tell me, how do you want me to deal with you?"

The two Yincha frowned, feeling something was wrong.

But under the powerful dark might, he still didn't dare to look up at Fatty Wang.

They hurriedly said, "We are willing to obey Master Zhengqin's orders! Master told us to go east, and we dare not go west. Master, you can punish us in any way you want, but please do not remove us from our positions as ghost messengers!"

"Yes, sir. I have practiced for three lifetimes and accumulated three lifetimes of Yin De to earn such a position as a Yin Messenger. I can't just throw it away like this!"

In the underworld, official position is above all else.

He would rather suffer in the tongue-pulling hell for a hundred years than lose his official position.

Even a small official like the Ninth Rank Yincha is a treasure!

Therefore, the most severe punishment in the underworld is to be dismissed from official position.

Although being punished in hell is painful, people get used to it after a few decades and it is not considered a serious punishment.

Fatty Wang raised his lips in triumph and waved his hands, saying, "Forget it. Since you are here to interrogate me as part of your duty, I will not make a fuss about it. But remember, your fault is not this, but you are making irresponsible remarks about your superiors. Do you understand?"

When the two ghost messengers heard what Fatty Wang said, they were stunned. They unexpectedly got a hint of pardon, so they nodded in response quickly.

"Yes, Lord Zhengqin is right!" one of them said hurriedly.

"We will never dare to talk nonsense about our superiors again. If it happens again, we will voluntarily go to the hell of tongue-pulling to be punished!" Another person also hurriedly expressed his opinion.

Fatty Wang snorted coldly, then said sternly: "Get lost!"

After saying this, he walked straight through the two illusory figures of the Yinchai without looking back, but with a smile on his face all the time.

The two ghost messengers seemed relieved and turned to look at Fatty Wang with confusion on their faces.

They exchanged glances and then disappeared.

After Fatty Wang's figure completely disappeared on the road, a puzzled conversation was heard in the void.

"That gentleman just now? He said he taught a ghost a lesson last time? Could that be the newcomer to the underworld?"

"Yes, but I heard from the newcomer that the lord is tall but not fat. Instead, he is very thin, but he looks very powerful. Most importantly, the lord is very strict and almost removed from his position. However, the lord is not like the one we saw today!"

"Do you feel the same way? I heard that the new ghost was so frightened that he almost lost control of his bladder... Do you feel the same way?"

"No, do you?"

"No, who would do that? What a coward!"

"Let's go back and report this. This matter seems a bit strange. If this gentleman is not the one that the ghost met last time, then is he an imposter? However, we dare not investigate this matter. The water is too deep. Let's report it to our superiors."

"Yes, we should ask Lord Bai Wuchang in the underworld. He should know the situation best."

……

On the other side, after Fatty Wang walked through the path, he saw that there was no movement behind him, so he put on the magic talisman given to him by Zhang Hao and looked back.

"Is this the Yinchai? It's nothing special!" he said to himself, "It's a good thing that Zhang Qilin was so scared last time. I thought this Yinchai was so powerful!"

After saying that, Fatty Wang picked up the talisman for the fourth-rank official position, shook his head and sighed, "Alas, a good piece of talisman paper is wasted like this. But fortunately, I was safe just now, thanks to my ability to pretend. Otherwise, I might not be able to fool these two ghost messengers. If I couldn't fool them, I might have capsized in this gutter today! I have to go back and tell Brother Zhang Hao, something weird is going on, how come I can see the ghost messengers?"

An hour later, Fatty Wang, who had put on the magic talisman, had returned to the Yin Yang Inn.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Hao standing by the well, his brows furrowed, looking deep in thought.

Fatty Wang waved his hand and shouted, "Boss! I'm back! What are you looking at?"

After hearing Fatty Wang's voice, Zhang Hao blinked and turned to look at him: "Nothing, nothing unexpected today, right? I saw the well water tumbling and had a bad feeling."

When Fatty Wang heard this, he also walked to the well and saw that the water in the well was bubbling continuously, as if it was boiling.

But the chill emanating from the well was so strong that Wang Pangzi felt goose bumps all over his body just by getting closer. He took two steps back and asked, "This well water... could it indicate something?"

Zhang Hao said softly: "I don't know."

He was just confused. The system had said before that the well water led directly to the Styx, but he never understood the meaning of it and didn't know much about it. At this time, Fatty Wang took out the official position of Zhengqin and said, "It's strange to say, I really encountered a strange thing today! When I came back, I met Yinchai!"

Zhang Hao instantly became alert, turned his head and frowned, looked at Fatty Wang and asked, "Did you run into a ghost? What happened?"

Fatty Wang shook his head, looking puzzled. "When I came back, my eyelids kept twitching. I felt like something was going to happen, so I was going to put on the magic talisman to hurry back. But then two ghost messengers suddenly appeared behind me, and the key is that they found me! I had no choice but to use the fourth-rank official title you gave me. But the ghost messenger was also a coward. When he saw me take out the title, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. Brother Zhang Hao, your fourth-rank official title is really useful!"

Zhang Hao frowned and then asked, "You didn't say anything, did you?"

Fatty Wang thought about it and told Zhang Hao in detail what had happened along the way.

After hearing this, Zhang Hao suddenly became serious and shook his head slightly, saying, "Hey, you might be in trouble!"

Fatty Wang looked puzzled: "Getting into trouble? I think I acted pretty well!"

Zhang Hao put one hand on the armchair and explained, "The fourth-rank officials in the underworld are all arrogant and have bad tempers. If a ghost messenger talks back like this, they will deal with him on the spot, or at least lose their positions. There is no one as easy to talk to as you! Besides, you said that you taught a ghost messenger a lesson last time. Brother Qilin used both kindness and force on that ghost messenger, and got angry when he should. You are quite similar to him in imitation, but you..."

After that, Zhang Hao took out his cell phone and found Zhang Qilin's number. At the same time, he said to Fatty Wang, "Don't leave the Yin Yang Inn these few days, lest those ghost messengers come looking for you again. I also have to remind Zhang Qilin that you may have aroused the suspicion of the Hades. It is not easy for the Hades to find someone. If you are exposed, Zhang Qilin will be in trouble."

After all, the fourth-rank official position painted by Zhang Hao was not really granted by the underworld, but just a means of copying.

It can possess the underworld authority brought by an official position, but its actual effect is not as good as the seal granted by the underworld.

Therefore, when using this trick, the most taboo thing is to be discovered, because once discovered, it means that there is no back-up plan and you will be in danger.

After all, Zhang Qilin had used it once. If the Hades found out that he had no connection with the Hades at all, they would probably take action against him and bring him back to the Hades for trial.

When Fatty Wang heard this, his face turned pale with fear, and he couldn't help but mutter, "It can't be that serious, right? I think that the ghost messenger is very honest and doesn't have any suspicions, right?"

Zhang Hao glared at Fatty Wang and said, "That's because of the power of their official position. They don't dare to resist. Once you leave and the power of the official position disappears, won't they think about it?"

After that, Zhang Hao called Zhang Qilin...

At this time, on the bank of the Xiangjiang River outside Tanzhou City, Changsha, the sound of flowing water was long and continuous.

The branches of the sycamore trees by the river swayed constantly in the south wind, and the raindrops hitting the surface of the river made waves like the sounds of an abacus.

On this moonless night, the noisy sounds make people feel a little uneasy.

Suddenly, a sound of bells and gongs rang out, and someone sang a long shout: "Ring...Ring...Ring...Yin people are on the road, Yang people should get out of the way! Dang! Dang! Ghosts retreat, don't scare the people returning home! Dang! Dang!"

Zhang Qilin drove the corpses along the way, holding a bell in one hand and a gong in the other, and throwing handfuls of paper money from time to time as offerings to the passing ghosts.

Hao Xie was practicing paper-making techniques nearby, using paper figures to help Zhang Qilin drive the corpses, such as guarding the corpses, burning incense, etc.

Now the paper figures he makes are no longer afraid of water or fire.

According to what Zhang Hao had told him about the realm, he now planned to start with paper-tying, and as for summoning spirits, he would study them in depth later.

In this way, the two of them moved forward all the way, Zhang Qilin drove the corpses and Hao Xie made paper-making, and they had a tacit understanding.

But today the two of them haven't communicated for two hours along the way.

Hao Xie glanced at the water of the Xiangjiang River at this time, and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic: "Brother Qilin, it should be delivered today, right?"

Zhang Qilin nodded slightly, but his face still had a serious expression.

I don’t know why, but I always feel a little uneasy today, as if something is going to happen.

After thinking about it, I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Before driving the corpse, Zhang Qilin checked the body and found nothing wrong with it.

But this uneasy feeling is somewhat familiar. I had the same feeling on the way to Sanjia Mountain last time, and then I encountered the ghost soldiers borrowing the road. Is something else going to happen today?

Zhang Qilin turned to look at Hao Xie and said, "If something happens that we can't handle, you will take the corpse and send it to the Nine Gates of Tanzhou first. Don't worry about me."

Hao Xie was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of confusion: "Brother Qilin? Did you feel something? You looked very serious all day!"

Zhang Qilin shook his head slightly and said nothing more.

Just as Hao Xie was about to ask what was about to happen, the phone suddenly rang in his pocket, interrupting his thoughts.

"Ring...Ring..." The ringtone of the cell phone was particularly clear in the silence.

Hao Xie took out his phone, glanced at the screen, and whispered to himself: "Huo Xiu'er? This girl, I almost forgot about her. She should have arrived in Miaojiang by now, right?"

He thought to himself: "Has she found the Kuiliang Tomb? It's better not to let her find it. The danger of the Kuiliang Tomb is not something they can handle."

Although Hao Xie is not engaged in tomb robbing now, he has rich experience in tomb robbing.

Back then, the four of them often traveled between various ancient tombs, and he was well aware of the dangers in the tombs.

He muttered to himself: "In this world, the danger of the ancient tombs is comparable to hell, and many of the ancient tombs and monsters did not exist in the previous life."

Thinking back to the previous life, the appearance of even a dozen water monkeys in an ancient tomb was considered rare, but in the Xisha Tomb they visited last time, the number of water monkeys was jaw-dropping.

Now, creatures like death worms have appeared in Kuiliang’s tomb, and their number is incalculable.

Hao Xie wiped the rain off the screen and answered the call: "Hello?"

Huo Xiuer's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Haoxie, guess where we are now?"

Judging from her tone, she didn't seem to be in any danger yet, which made Hao Xie's tense nerves relax a little.

He asked, "We should have arrived at Biancheng, right?"

Huo Xiuer's bell-like laughter was heard: "Haha, Brother Haoxie, are you really a god? You know where I am just by counting with your fingers. That's right, we are in Biancheng now, and we have already looked for Kuiliang's tomb twice. Now we have determined its exact location, and we plan to explore the tomb tomorrow!"
