Chapter 41: The Kid's a Trouble
I know that the road guide is a certificate for the soul to report to the netherworld after death. I have heard Mr. Zhang tell me before that after death, the souls must report to the underworld to receive the "sentiments" of the underworld and arrange for the "afterlife". When the souls die, they will first report to the local Shing Wong Temple or the Land Temple, and the Shing Wong or the Land Lord will give them a "road guide", and these dead souls will hold the "road guide", and then they can smoothly pass through the Ghost Gate, cross the Yellow Springs, and enter the hell.
In the folk also has the hell of the "road guide", is a long 3 feet, 2 feet wide, with a yellow laminating paper woodblock printed from the paper. In addition to the printed "for the Fengdu Tienzi Yanluo Wang Da Di issued by the road to the matter" and other text, but also covered with "nether world", "city god", "Fengdu County Government "Three square seals. At the top, Yama is sitting upright, looking ahead, for the lost souls to guide the way to the "ghost country".
But this time we are over Yin, not life, where will go to the land temple report for the road guide ah, so I told the gatekeeper of the yin: "yin big brother, I came this time is to do things, not life, so there is no road guide, you see ...... whether you can give my little brother to make it easier? "
The yin messenger swept me a glance, asked: "errand? Looking for who to do errands ah?"
"Yes, errand, I am a disciple of the Taoist family, today I came down to find Judge Cui!" I hurriedly replied honestly.
When the Undertaker heard my words, he immediately put down the ghost-beating whip that was in front of me, cupped his fists and smiled, "So you're a member of the Taoist family, disrespectful, disrespectful."
Once I saw this situation, I was immediately happy, thinking that the original Taoist family members still have such a status in hell, even the little ghosts are so polite to me.
Just when I was excited, the demonic messenger swept a glance at Han Dao behind me, and then said, "This girl is the one you gave to Judge Cui, right? She's a real beauty, huh? I think you and Lord Cui are also very familiar with it, know that he is good at this mouth, hee hee ......."
So Judge Cui is good at this? I was immediately by the words of the ghost sent to the thunder, hastily shook his head and said: "No, I and Cui magistrate is not familiar with, and this girl is not given to Cui magistrate, just and I all the way down to do business."
Which know that my words just finished, the ghost messenger's face immediately changed, instantly became a cold face, swept me around, and then coldly grunted: "Go go go, you're not Judge Cui's acquaintance, then you still come down to do what, is it that the netherworld is a place where you want to come and enter when you want to come and enter when you want to come and enter when you want to come and enter when you want to come and enter when you want to come and enter when you want to come and enter when you want to come and enter when you want to come and enter. Hurry up to me to roll, have as far as possible to roll as far as possible, do not bother master me again."
Crouching handful, this ...... what is this situation ah? Could it be that people in hell also have to rely on relationships? I begged, "Master Ghostbuster, we really have something to do down here, please let the two of us in!"
But at this time the ghost has been full of impatience, see I still dare to go up to pester him, raised his hands of the ghost whip on the cold drink: "You kid is not live impatient, if you do not hurry to leave, be careful of the master will be you as a wandering ghosts arrested, so that you never have the opportunity to go back!"
I said with a bitter face, "Just give me a chance, okay? I'll go up and burn some paper money for you, how about that?"
Hearing me say this, the ghost man's face finally lost some of its severity, and he sighed and said, "Brother, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that I have a duty to do so, so I can't do anything about it. Not brother does not give you a chance, you just tell me inside you have what acquaintances, brother not more than a word, immediately let you in."
I thought, your sister, this is not difficult for me, we must know that this is the netherworld ah, how can I have acquaintances?
At this time, Hando also anxious round and round, asked me the netherwoman is not allowed to enter, what to do now, is it just go back?
Looking at Han Dao's anxiety, I sighed, thinking that this society is really fucking black, to do anything have to rely on relations, have to have background. In the world, neither red second generation, nor rich second generation, not to mention the official second generation, everywhere being pressed I recognize, after all, the birth of the life of the noble and lowly a long time ago doomed. But I can't imagine this time to the netherworld, because there is no acquaintance relationship, but also by the ghosts to make things difficult, it seems that in the future, no matter whether it is in the sun or the netherworld, really have to climb a little bit of relationship to do. Isn't there a saying, I can be upright, but the world is not right.
Take this little kid for example, at first he thought I knew Judge Cui and was polite to me. But when he realized that I was unrelated, he was as cold as ice, with an iron face. But when he heard me say that I would burn paper money for him, he greeted me brotherly and fraternal. Looking at this little ghost in front of me, I felt like I saw some of the "little ghosts" in the world of the living, or perhaps there is no difference between the underworld and the world of the living, because whether they are ghosts or not, they all have a human heart.
Relationship? Acquaintances? Money? I thought hard, and then I suddenly thought of someone, that is Zhang Zhenren. Thinking of this, I immediately became excited, thinking how could I have forgotten about Master, his old man?
However, on second thought, my heart went cold, because Zhang Zhenren is not a person with official position in the hell, although before he dreamed to me that he was working as a ghost messenger in the hell, but we must know that he was punished and went to the hell, so even if he was a ghost messenger, it is still the lowest fodder errand boy level, right? I don't know if this level of ghostbusters can be counted as a relationship, perhaps by reporting Zhang Zhenren's name, that ghostbuster won't even recognize it.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh again.
"Chang, have you figured out a way, or let's go back!" Han Dao who was beside me said to me.
Go back? Wouldn't that be the same as making a trip for nothing? The thought of going back empty-handed made me unhappy, especially when I thought of letting that head-scalpist continue to kill people, I was even more angry. So I thought to myself, "Who cares whether the ghosts know Mr. Zhang or not, I've come all the way here once, I have to give it a try, don't I?
I made up my mind, so I went up to the ghost man again.
Have not yet spoken, that the ghosts first spoke: "brother, you do not say anything, even if you give me more money, I do not care to ah, because you do not even have an acquaintance, so let you go in, in case you give me a little bit of trouble out of what, then I can be miserable. So, if you want to go in, you have to have an acquaintance to vouch for you. Alas, don't blame me for being ruthless."
I nodded, so I said, "I do know an acquaintance, and like you, it's an errand boy in hell."
"Oh? You have an acquaintance, why didn't you say so earlier." The ghost messenger slapped his thighs and laughed, then asked me, "Quickly, tell me, who is the ghost messenger you know, maybe I still know him."
"The one I know is called Zenith Zhang, I don't know if you've heard of him?" I returned dryly.
"Zhenren Zhang? Magistrate Zhang? How do you know him?" The ghost messenger was curious.
As soon as I saw that expression on the ghost messenger's face, I was instantly relieved in my heart, it was obvious that this girl actually seemed to know Zhenren Zhang as well. I hurriedly replied, "Zhang Zhenren is my master, I am his disciple, hehe, this skill of laying down yin is what he taught me. What, could it be that Big Brother Yin knows my master?"
But let me did not expect is that the ghosts at this time even completely changed, a will I embrace the past, full of pleasing winks, patted my shoulder and said: "Brother ah brother, not brother said you, you know Zhang Zhang Zhang how early not say to brother listen to it, so that brother has just been here with you a piece of anxious, alas! Ask you an acquaintance also can not say, really is anxious bad brother me, if you say early to recognize the Zhang custody, brother I am not early to introduce you into the city to go."
Hearing this, I am more sure that he knows Zhang Zhenren, just this girl so big contrast but let me get goosebumps, thinking that Zhang Zhenren when what big officials not?
Thinking of this, so I hurriedly asked him: "Older brother really know my master Zhang Zhenren?"
Ghosts nodded: "Recognize, where would not recognize ah, he is our head, the top boss. Brother, brother this will take you to see the Zhang escort, let your master and disciple reunion, huh."
Crouching handful, I said how the hell you suddenly so good to me, the original you the hell is my master under the hands of people ah! Definitely your girl usually do not work hard, afraid of me in front of Zhang Zhenren snitch, so will be so attentive to me, to know that people who work hard will not offer this attentiveness.
There are ghosts to lead the way, I am naturally very happy, smiled and said, "How is that good ah, in that case will it affect big brother's work?"
"No, no, not to mention we are brothers, not to mention losing a job, is to let my brother me on the mountain under the fire, is not a brother you a word of matter." The ghost messenger smiled and led the way forward.
Followed behind the Han Duo finally could not listen to it, a did not hold back to laugh out loud, apparently did not expect the hell and the same as in the world, the existence of the people who can not help but flatter the horse, and also very good.
Not long after, the ghosts will bring us to the city of an ancient Yamen like building before, and then all the way through the forecourt, came to an inner courtyard.
Just entering the inner courtyard, I saw a familiar figure, besides Zhang Zhenren who else could it be?
At this time, Zhang Zhenren also happened to turn around and saw me, not immediately froze, obviously did not expect me to come here.
Yes, if I did not meet Zhang Zhenren, a few years ago to live in the murder house when I was black and white pervert to capture. If there is no Zen Master Zhang, maybe last time when I met with Old Hu and the others, we would all be dead. Yes, if there is no Zhang Zhenren, I simply could not have survived until now, and the reason why I have survived until now is that Zhang Zhenren exchanged his life for him, he, in my heart has long been as important as my parents in general.
I three and two steps, ran to Zhang Zhenren front, shouted a "master", and Zhang Zhenren patted my shoulder, worried: "How did you come down, is it off the robbery in advance, the life expectancy has been exhausted? I'm not telling you to do more good deeds, how come you didn't listen to me?" The more he said, Zhang Zhenren became more and more agitated, and later on, he even got a little angry.
I hurriedly said, "No, I didn't come down at the end of my life, but came down to do business."
