Chapter 36: Becoming a Ghost
I was speechless for a moment after hearing what the God of Land said, and I didn’t know how to answer him.
But the scene before my eyes really overturned my imagination.
Before, I had no idea what the underworld was, until I saw this small land temple, it seemed like another world.
The house is decorated in an antique style and looks very good overall.
The God of Land strode forward, walked into the living room, and jumped into a chair.
The God of Land stared at me, and then said to me, "Boy, why are you standing so far away? Come here quickly."
After hearing what the God of Land said, I started walking towards him. When I got closer, I was still a little nervous. I didn't know what the God of Land was going to do to me. After all, it was my first time to come to such a mysterious place.
After I stood still, the God of Land glanced at me, but there seemed to be a hint of disgust .
"May I have your name?"
The God of Land suddenly asked me.
I have a personality. If I agree to something, I will either not agree to it or I will definitely do it well. When faced with the question from the land god, I didn't delay for too long and directly replied, "My name is Chen Yang."
The God of Land murmured my name, and after a pause, he suddenly said to me: "Chen Yang, if it weren't for the Taoist priest's face, I would never let you be my ghost messenger."
Of course I knew that the God of Land was doing this for the Taoist priest's sake. Even so, I still felt a little unhappy when I heard the God of Land say this.
I thought about it and originally wanted to talk back to the God of Land, but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back.
There is no need for me to contradict the God of Land. It's not necessary.
I am just a person with an incomplete soul . If I want to continue living, I still have to rely on the God of Land. It will do me no good at all if I go against the God of Land now.
Now when I see the Goddess of Land saying nasty things to me all the time, I feel like she is trying to make me angry on purpose.
So I couldn't be fooled. After a pause, I said, "Then I would like to thank the land god for giving me this opportunity."
After hearing this, the God of Land was stunned and his eyebrows raised instantly. I looked at the God of Land and saw that he was obviously a little angry.
"Okay, Chen Yang, I can let you be a ghost messenger, but I have to tell you in advance that if you dare to violate the laws of the underworld, I will show no mercy and will definitely expel you."
The God of Land said this seriously.
"good."
I agreed without further explanation or saying anything.
The land god was silent for a while, staring at me, probably not knowing what to say. After a long while, he finally uttered a sentence: "Chen Yang, listen to the seal."
When I heard this, I immediately stood up straighter.
The God of Land did not delay and continued, "I now appoint you as the underworld's ghost messenger. You must obey my orders."
"Yes, Lord Land."
After the enthronement ceremony of the God of Land was finished, I saw him throw two things to me. One was a document, and the other was a black chain. I had seen it before. It was used by the underworld's messengers.
And what’s a little strange is that after the God of Land conferred the title on me, I could clearly feel that something seemed to have changed in my body. This change made me feel that my soul had become more solid, and I no longer had the feeling of lacking something like before.
In addition, my soul seemed to become lighter, which I had never felt before.
The God of Land was still looking at me with a dissatisfied look.
After I felt the changes in my body, I said, "Lord Land, do you have any other instructions?"
"No more, go away."
"Yes, Lord Land."
But after I had taken a few steps, the land god suddenly shouted, "Stop."
I paused and continued to look at the Earth Lord, not understanding what he wanted to say to me. After a while, he said, "Chen Yang, I have to remind you that you are a ghost messenger from the underworld, but you live in the world of the living. I must explain the situation to you. If you dare to use your identity as a ghost messenger to do evil in the world of the living, I will definitely not let you go."
The God of Land said this menacingly.
"Don't worry, Lord Land, I definitely won't do that."
In fact, I am quite grateful to the God of Land in my heart. If I have this identity, when I find the murderer who killed my grandfather, I will be more confident to deal with the murderer.
When the God of Land saw that I agreed, he waved his hand and told me to leave quickly with a look of disgust.
I felt a little embarrassed, so I walked for a while and then suddenly stopped.
I turned around and looked at the Land God. The Land God probably didn't want to see me now, and said with some disdain: "Why are you looking at me? If you have anything else to say, please tell me quickly. I feel annoyed when I see you now."
I:"……"
"Lord Land, I have something I want to ask you. Do you know the identity of the Taoist priest outside?"
After I finished speaking, the God of Land looked at me in surprise, as if saying that I was a mentally retarded person.
"Don't you know who the Taoist priest is?"
"have no idea."
I told the truth.
The Taoist priest was absent-minded for a while, looking at me with puzzled eyes, as if he was thinking about something. After thinking for a while, the land god suddenly said: "You don't know, then I don't know either."
I want to say something else.
The God of Land interrupted me directly and told me not to ask, and that he would not tell me even if I asked.
Seeing that the God of Land was so determined, I simply stopped asking questions.
The God of Land is already somewhat dissatisfied with me, so how could he tell me these things?
Since I can’t get the answer here, I’ll look it up myself later. I left the land temple and went outside.
The Taoist priest was still waiting for me. When he saw me, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. I don’t know why, and I don’t know if it was an illusion, but every time I see the Taoist priest staring at me and smiling like this, I think he is very handsome.
But every time such thoughts come into my mind, I feel a little disgusted.
I immediately shook my head to completely dispel this thought.
"alright?"
The smile on the Taoist priest's face disappeared instantly, and he stared at me.
"alright."
I replied.
The Taoist priest then said, "Follow me, I have something to tell you."
"Um."
The Taoist priest was very efficient and quick in doing things. After he finished speaking, he took me forward.
It was a dark and windy night. I followed the Taoist priest for a while. Suddenly, the Taoist priest said to me, "Chen Yang, since you have become a ghost messenger, I have a few things to tell you."
The Taoist priest suddenly became serious again, and I said to him, "What's the matter?"
"Do you remember the evil creature we let go last time? Your most important task now is to find that evil creature and subdue it."
The Taoist priest stared at me with a sharp gaze.
