Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 4 Ghost Town Fengdu
I looked down at the booklet carefully, except that the pages were a little yellowed and looked a bit old, everything else seemed to be nothing special, forget it, why bother to think so much?Immediately, I stuffed this booklet into my arms, identified the direction, and walked towards the gate of hell.

"Wow, it's really huge!" Looking at this majestic city, I felt a little emotional.It is worthy of being called a ghost city, Fengdu. The tower alone is 30 meters high. There is a small group of ghost soldiers guarding the huge gate, checking the ghosts coming in and out.Walking into the city gate, you can see hawkers setting up stalls on both sides of the street, and the sound of selling is endless.Of course, there are also various teahouses and taverns on both sides. I even saw Xiao Er walking back and forth inside, which made me feel a sense of time and space disorder, as if I had come to the ancient times of China. What about the brothel?Ha ha, I thought a little maliciously.

I wandered here casually, and found that the business here is really fair, and people will not be treated differently because of their status.No, those two official-looking ghosts bargained with the street peddler, and the peddler wasn't afraid, he fought with them blushingly, and finally finalized the deal at his price.In the teahouse, two ghosts dressed as businessmen were discussing a business deal, and finally the deal was settled with a high-five swear, let alone signing a contract.Seeing this, it's really amazing. If you think about it in Yangjian, how many peddlers dare to bargain with officials?How many more deals did you dare to conclude without signing a contract?I'm afraid even if you sign the contract, you can't do much.

"Selling steamed stuffed buns selling steamed stuffed buns, fragrant and soft steamed stuffed buns"

There was this cry of selling in my ears, and after walking for so long, I actually found that I was a little hungry!It turns out that ghosts can also be hungry. This discovery surprised me a bit.

"How do you sell this steamed stuffed bun?" Solve the stomach problem first.After making up my mind, I asked.

"One bun for three Wen, and five Wen for two." The peddler said hurriedly when he saw that I wanted to buy his buns.

"Okay, here are two buns." After I finished speaking, I took out a bank note with the smallest denomination from my pocket.

"You don't have any change with you. Look, I can't find so much money right now. Why don't you take the buns first, and you can put the money on credit first?" Five taels of silver bill, said a little uncertainly.

"On credit first? Are you not afraid that I won't accept it in the future?" I asked a little funny.

"Hahahaha, as soon as I heard you say that, I knew you were the new ghost messenger. Hehe, let's not talk about your salary of five taels of silver every month. God is watching. If you renege on your debt In other words, five pennies is a small amount, and the heavens will blame it, but the karma will increase!" The peddler laughed when he heard me say that.

No wonder there is no such thing as forced buying and selling, high and low. It turns out that everything is under the supervision of the Heavenly Dao. Who dares to fight against the Heavenly Dao?Tired of work, aren't you?Thinking of this, I took the two buns handed over by the peddler, and said with a smile, "Okay, I will pay you on credit first, and I will give you the money when I come back later, five cents, right, I will remember."

"Hehe, okay. I've been selling buns on this street. Baozi Xu is my younger self. Go slowly." After speaking, he picked up the pole again and started selling along the way.

Eating the steamed stuffed bun in his hand, hey, not to mention, the taste is not bad, much better than the ones in school. Thinking of his college life in his previous life, he felt sad for a while.When I went back to the world, I went back as a ghost messenger, and I was no longer a mortal.
Forget it, don't think too much, let's talk about the future, as the saying goes, "the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge", I shook my head, and I started to wander again.After walking a few steps, a weapons workshop in front caught my attention.Hey, guys, they like weapons a lot. As soon as I walked to the door, an apprentice-looking guy stopped me, and pointed to a wooden sign at the door that said "you can enter with a ghost order". Can't the uniform of the ghost messenger convince them?Could it be that there are fake policemen in this underworld?I'm making a bit of a malicious guess.

I was able to enter the door after I took out the token. There was nothing hot about the weapons. I was a little disappointed by the observation results. Whether it was the walls around or the weapons displayed on the shelves, they were all from ancient times. The cold weapon, look at the price, good guy, at least ten taels of silver.If it is expensive, it will cost hundreds of taels!Sure enough, whether in the underworld or in the mortal world, this arms trade is always the only way to get rich.

"These weapons can only be used by ghosts, not ordinary ghosts." The apprentice on the side introduced it to me.

"Oh? And this thing?"

Seeing that I was a little confused, the apprentice explained: "If ordinary ghosts can also use weapons, this hell will be a mess."

Hearing this, I was relieved, that's right, if some ghosts get these weapons, they can't rebel, although Hades and the like are not afraid of them, but they are still annoying, besides, throughout the ages, there have been Which emperor would like someone to create his own rebellion?The Son of Heaven is no exception.

I looked at the soul lock chain and the ghost head cut at the waist. It seems that the offensive weapons are unnecessary. As for the defensive weapons, I still remember that when Hei Wuchang uniformed himself, he said that this suit was defensive. It can't hurt the body, as the saying goes, "Don't be afraid of accidents, just in case." What if something happens?For life-saving things, I have always been open to comers.

"Is there any magic weapon of defensive nature?" I asked.

"Are there a lot of evil spirits over a hundred years old in the Yang world?" Looking at me in a ghost uniform, the apprentice was a little puzzled. A little higher."

"No problem, no problem, the price is negotiable, as long as you can save your life at the critical moment." Thinking of the banknote in my arms, it is rare for me to get excited, hehe, I am not short of money

In the end, I chose a body-fitting chain mail, which is not heavy, and it won't look like a ghost uniform over it.It is said that it can defend against 200% of the attacks of the thousand-year-old ghost king. It is a rare magic weapon. If it hadn't been for thousands of years and no one has bothered to ask about it, it probably wouldn't be sold to me, a wandering ghost with no rank and no rank.In the end, I chose another dagger and tied it to my leg. The soul chain is used for long-range strikes, and the ghost head is used for close-up attacks.This time I spent a total of 50 taels of gold and [-] taels of silver, tsk tsk, let me see the huge profits of arms again.

After leaving the door, I went to the elixir shop and heard from the apprentice that this thing can also be used to save life. Comrades, cherish life, start with small things, start from every little bit!

There is another wooden sign at the door that reads "You can enter with a ghost order", tsk tsk, am I a member of the legendary privileged class?Hahahahaha, watching the ghosts passing by here cast some envious eyes at me, I am a little happy.

He took out the ghost order and entered the door. After inspecting it, he left the shop with three small bottles of elixir. Tsk tsk, everyone said that the hospital in the yang world was evil. I saw that the elixir shop in the underworld was not bad. The spirit pill (which can quickly recover part of ghost power during wartime), and a small bottle of qi pill (which can speed up the cultivation speed during cultivation), actually charged me 520 taels of silver!This pharmaceutical industry is also profiteering in the underworld.

Feeling the rapidly deflated chest inner pocket, I regretted wasting money randomly, but felt that everything has its value, hey, tangled up, five taels of salary per month is enough to eat, but It's not even enough to buy equipment. It seems that ghosts are also poor.

Looking at the "people" coming and going on the street, I began to think about how to make money, robbery?Forget it, a thunder strike from Heaven, and I will die.corruption?Well, let's not talk about the picket censor of the underworld, the way of heaven will punish, work hard, and work hard to upgrade?This is a way. It stands to reason that the higher the grade, the higher the monthly salary should be.By the way, rob the ghost king's magic weapon treasure!I can only think about this, let alone whether I can meet this rare species comparable to pandas. All that remains after death is unclaimed).

Forget it, let’s take one step at a time.Thinking of this, I let go of my thoughts, took a step, and merged into this flow of "people".Looking at these various snacks, toys, and various juggling that only existed in ancient times, I even saw storytellers and opera singers in teahouses.

There is no difference between day and night in the underworld, there will always be some gray sky, no sunny day, no rainy day, the souls in the ghost town Fengdu always seem to be so tirelessly running around, this makes me feel a little uncomfortable Adapt, aren't you tired?Anyway, the ghost messenger also works in three shifts, hehe, except for me, why do they have so much energy?If I can't figure it out, I don't think too much about it, maybe it's to make more money to absorb the power of thoughts inside, and to find a good family for reincarnation in the next life, which can be regarded as a little hope for this boring life.It should be right.

As a ghost messenger, I am really lucky. Although I can't live according to my own ideas, it is really much better than these dead souls who are busy all day long. I can go back and forth between Yin and Yang, and I can see what I want to see Relatives and her, Jin Yasheng, can guard them, protect them, and even entrust them with dreams. Of course, this requires a little more advanced magic power. For the first time, I began to think that being a ghost messenger is still a good job, even if I don’t know how to do it in the future. If you do it, Tiandao will give yourself a good pregnancy because you have been a ghost messenger and guarded the six reincarnations.
