Chapter 68: The Upper and Lower City God Temples
I saw a lot of black shadows suddenly appearing inside. I have never seen so many black shadows before. When I looked closely, I found that they were all souls standing inside.
There were long and dense queues.
I was stunned. There were adults, children and the elderly standing here.
I couldn't help but murmur, this place is really strange.
Why are there so many souls gathered here? When I walked inside, I could still receive many gazes.
Just after taking a few steps, a fierce voice suddenly rang in my ears, saying, "Stop."
When I heard the voice, I couldn't help but shudder. I stood there, not moving for a while.
This is my first time in a place like this, and to be honest, I still feel a little guilty.
I looked back and saw a burly man staring at me with an angry look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
I asked.
"What's wrong? I'm telling you, you're cutting in line, lining up to go to the underworld, do you know that?"
"Yeah, how can you be so uncultured? You are still so uncultured even after you die. It's really shameful."
"Hurry up and get in line, or you won't be able to die in peace."
An old woman with a strange look scolded me.
Fatty Wang took out a token of the underworld and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel? I tell you, you'd better behave yourself, or I'll have the underworld messenger throw you all into the eighteenth level of hell."
Fatty Wang’s words quickly frightened all the souls.
Fatty Wang could scare most ghosts, but he couldn’t scare the burly man just now.
The man said fiercely, "Fatty, who do you think you are? Aren't you just a ghost? Do you think you can call the ghost messenger of the underworld?"
When Fatty Wang heard this, he immediately became angry and began to speak aggressively: "You don't accept it, right? I'm going to find the Yinchai now."
"You go ahead."
He is big and strong, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
Fatty Wang looked around, and I looked with him. There was indeed something sinister here, but Fatty Wang just took a quick look and then looked away.
As soon as I saw Fatty Wang's look, I knew he would definitely not be able to call upon the ghost.
Fatty Wang looked at me curiously, but what I didn't expect was that he did something that surprised me before he even moved. He got close to me and started touching me restlessly with his hands.
I:"……"
I couldn't help but yell, "What are you doing?"
"In this critical moment, please help me, your brother."
I don't know what the hell this fat guy is talking about.
Seeing this, the burly man said to Fatty Wang, "You fat bastard, you are using the underworld messenger to pressure us. You are unworthy."
"You agree, don't you?"
His words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.
"Don't touch it, I'll get it myself."
I spoke to Fatty Wang helplessly. I was simply speechless towards this fat guy.
I took out the Yinchai's badge and walked up to the burly man. After I showed him the badge, the man, who had been very fierce, suddenly looked dejected.
"You, you, you are actually the Yinchai-sama."
The man's voice couldn't help but tremble.
And in the next second, he knelt down in front of me and began to beg for mercy: "Sir, I didn't recognize you just now. If I knew you were Yinchai, I would never dare to offend you. Please let me go this time."
He was crying, completely different from his arrogant look just now, one could even say he was two different people. When I saw him like this, I didn't say anything.
I looked towards the rest of the people. Those who had been accusing me before, after knowing that I was a ghost messenger, immediately gave in and didn't even dare to look me in the eye.
I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, thinking that this was probably human nature.
The big, burly man was still kneeling in front of me begging for mercy. Fatty Wang had already walked up to me and said, "Get up quickly, and don't be blind in the future."
The burly man heard Fatty Wang talking, but he didn't stand up in a hurry. Instead, he looked at me, as if asking for my opinion. I am not the kind of person who would make things difficult for others.
What's more, what the burly man said just now was right. I shouldn't have cut in line.
"Get up."
I didn't keep this guy on his knees for too long.
After he got up, I said to Fatty Wang, "Is that the road ahead the one that leads to the underworld?"
I said this while looking at the very dark road ahead.
The dark road seemed to have no end in sight. I stared at it carefully, and Fatty Wang said, "Almost."
"Chen Yang, actually, whether it is the City God Temple or the underworld, there is actually a road leading to the underworld. The purpose of doing this is to allow the souls of the underworld to go to the underworld from various places to reincarnate."
Fatty Wang was very serious when he told me these things, and I nodded and said I understood.
Fatty Wang led me forward. There were two Yin runners in front of us. When they saw Fatty Wang, they obviously knew him and smiles soon appeared on their faces.
"You're here, Lao Wang."
"Yes, I am coming."
Fatty Wang started distributing things as usual. After the two ghost messengers took Fatty Wang's things, the smiles on their faces became even more radiant.
Fatty Wang also laughed and said, "Then let's go in first."
"Can."
The two ghost messengers made way, and I followed Fatty Wang and walked inside. Just now, when I looked inside from the outside, I found that it was pitch black inside and I couldn't see anything. But now that I went in, I could see a faint light coming out from here.
I started walking forward. Time passed by, and I didn't know how long it had been. The light became stronger and stronger.
The doubts in my heart grew, and I encountered many souls walking on this road.
After walking for a while, Fatty Wang suddenly had a lantern in his hand. When the lantern was lit, Fatty Wang said, "Chen Yang, the lantern in my hand is a Yin-illuminating lantern. Without it, we would never reach the City God Temple."
" Um?"
I looked at Fatty Wang in confusion, not quite understanding what he was talking about. Isn't the City God Temple up there? Now Fatty Wang said there was also a City God Temple down there. Could it be that there was one up there and one down there?
I told Fatty Wang what I had guessed, and when he heard it, he was immediately very happy and said, "That's right, there is one on top and one on the bottom."
My doubts suddenly deepened.
