Chapter 74: Internship
This short sentence was like cutting off my only clue. At this moment, I even felt a little dazed. In this vast ghostland, where was the person I was looking for?
Because I was walking in the underworld without going through the normal procedures, I could only rely on my own strength. When I was in the underworld, I found that there was no difference between here and the human world. It was so rare to reunite after being separated.
"Ningxiang, Dongmen, I do have some impression of it!" Suddenly, I don't know when that old ghost appeared behind me, with the appearance of a master, with his hands behind his back, and said in a very arrogant tone.
"Old man, I can't stand you anymore!" Shi Qian jumped up and punched the old man in the face.
I took a step back and looked at the old man . My perception is at the late fourth level, so I can sense even an ant passing by within two meters. But when did this old man walk behind me?
Oops! This sound was made by Shi Qian.
Shi Qian's fist was fixed on the old man's nose. But the old man was calm and composed. Shi Qian cried out with a bitter face. His whole body was still slumped to the ground.
"Should I call you Master Xie Qi, or Master Bai Er? Or even Bai Wuchang?" Looking at the old man with a cold face, I pulled out the ghost-beating ruler and thunder talisman.
"Haha, it doesn't matter what you call me, but you don't follow any rules when you're a ghost! First you blew up the brother-in-law of the Lord of Jieying City, and then you beat a ghost messenger half to death in Jieying City. You really think the government is your back garden!"
Bai Wuchang still looked at me with a smile, as if he was talking about someone else's business.
I didn't say anything, just looked at Bai Wuchang. In fact, since he said his surname was Xie, I should have doubted the old man's identity.
"Well, you gave me so much money, and I have a contract with you. So, let's settle today's business first, and then I will take you back to the Ghost Court." Bai Wuchang still looked at me with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me how to take the third path?" I simply sat on a chair at the side. Bai Wuchang! This is a well-known ghost fairy. To be called a fairy, he must have power beyond the secular world. With my current power, the difference between him and a three-year-old child is like the difference between an adult.
However, I didn't show any worry at all, instead I looked very calm.
"Huh, that's interesting. Aren't you worried at all that I'll catch you?" Bai Wuchang asked me with a smile.
"Only fools would worry! If you catch me, I won't have a chance to escape. The fact that you can accompany me here and keep talking to me can only prove one thing, you need me. But even if you let me do something, I want to see what it is." I said disdainfully.
Bai Wuchang still looked at me with a smile. But there was no smile in his smile, but a sense of indifference. It was like a child holding a stick and smilingly crushing the ants that kept passing by.
"You are very smart, but first tell me, who is this Ningxiang you are looking for?"
I looked at Bai Wuchang, and hope suddenly came to my heart! Could Ningxiang's departure be related to Bai Wuchang, or Bai Wuchang at least knew Ningxiang's whereabouts!
"My family was tricked into going to the underworld."
Bai Wuchang fell silent, but still had a smiling face . After a long while, Bai Wuchang asked again: "What do you want to do with her?"
I laughed. I laughed happily. I stood up and stared at Bai Wuchang: "I'm looking for her to take her home."
Strangely, Bai Wuchang looked at me with admiration. "Okay, let's make a deal."
"Deal!" I replied calmly.
"What an interesting little guy, why don't you ask me what I asked you to do?" Bai Wuchang finally put away his smile and asked curiously.
"Is it necessary? I can't beat you, and I can't run away. Besides, you asked me so many questions, this matter must have something to do with the person I'm looking for. Even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I can only agree." I shook my shoulders indifferently and said.
Bai Wuchang looked at me carefully, from top to bottom and then from bottom to top. Suddenly, Bai Wuchang laughed, and he looked very happy.
"Yes, yes, I, the old man, am still so discerning! I won't say any more, just follow me."
I helped Shi Qian up, but I didn't move my feet. I looked at Bai Wuchang who was walking out and said only two words: "Where are you going?"
"Oh, you are quite alert, kid. Don't worry, Mr. Bai won't harm you. Besides, if you want to work for the underworld, you must have a title, right?"
Looking at Mr. Bai's back, I suddenly showed a hint of joy. I supported Shi Qian and followed him.
"Ni Ge, be careful, there might be a trap!" Shi Qian leaned on my shoulder and reminded me weakly in a low voice.
"It's okay. I know what's going on. If this person is really Mr. Bai, then he is completely trustworthy. Because Bai Wuchang never speaks without telling the truth."
Bai Wuchang was relieved. He sat in the car calmly. However, the driver had been replaced by another ghost soldier.
When Shi Qian and I saw this ghost soldier for the first time, we were a little dumbfounded. Aren’t these the ghost soldiers in our hall that were knocked down by Shi Qian’s black mud?
"What are you looking at? There's no way my men could be knocked down by you guys like this! Get in the car, we have limited time. Besides, Ni Ge, you can't stay for long." Bai Wuchang called out impatiently.
"Mr. Bai, how do you know my name?" I asked curiously after helping Shi Qian get into the car.
Bai Wuchang looked at me like I was an idiot and said sarcastically, "Do you think there is nothing in the underworld? When I saw you, I scanned your information with my phone. I even know the red mole on the sole of your foot. I never thought that you would be the chosen one. I am really looking forward to it!"
The chosen one. When I heard this, I thought of the mysterious person who has been constantly influencing the trajectory of my life.
"What do you mean by selected? Mr. Bai, can you explain it more clearly?" I asked tentatively.
"It's unspeakable, unspeakable! I can only tell you that the underworld now is different from before. The world is also different." Bai Wuchang replied in an unfathomable manner, closed his eyes and simply rested in the car.
As expected, I still couldn't get any answers. I had more and more questions in my mind. I always felt like there was a big net hanging over my head all the time.
The car drove along the street and soon arrived in front of a magnificent building.
The three-hall Yama! The four characters were clearly visible from a distance.
I frowned. This Yama Palace is where Yama is. According to legend, there are ten Yama Palaces in the underworld. There are also rumors that these ten Yama Palaces are actually ten avatars of one person. As for Yama's life experience, it is even more confusing.
No matter what, this is not a place for ordinary people. Even if a venerable enters the underworld, he probably does not have the qualifications to come to the Yama Palace.
I'm a little worried! I don't think I have the qualifications to be looked at differently by the King of Hell. Being here can only mean one thing, the thing that Bai Wuchang asked me to do is very complicated. So complicated that even the King of Hell takes it seriously.
I sighed, hoping that what I guessed was not true.
Bai Wuchang seemed to see through my thoughts. He opened his eyes, smiled, and got out of the car and said, "Little guy, you will never see the King of Hell. But maybe you will have a chance in the future. Wait here. I will take you away when I come back from getting the samples."
After listening to Bai Wuchang's words, I was a little disappointed. King Yama, it was a little regretful that this great man was gone. But I was more happy. The simpler the procedure, the simpler the matter.
The reason is very simple, just like the secret agents in the movies who are going to perform missions, which one is not mysterious, and in the end they have to blow up the only means of communication. Speaking of simplicity, let's say that working is the simplest. The boss pointed to a pile of documents in front of him. Hey, go work overtime, I need it tomorrow.
Agents need to revive their lives, while workers only need to expend their energy. Of course, the two are not on the same level. Now I just think of myself as a worker, just wandering around to find Ningxiang and then leaving. I don't want to come to this underworld for the second time.
About half an hour later, Bai Wuchang came back staggeringly and handed me a bracelet.
When I stretched out my hand to take it, Bai Wuchang grabbed my wrist, gently turned my palm upwards, took out a seal and stamped it on my hand.
After covering it, she smiled and put the bracelet in my palm.
"This is a communication bracelet. Don't underestimate it. It can contact me directly. Of course, if I can't receive any information due to something, this bracelet can directly save your words as a message on the service desk. In addition, this pattern is a ghost gate array, which leads directly to the Naihe Bridge. Now you are already a ninth-level ghost messenger in my underworld. But you can only be an intern."
I looked at the bracelet and the pentagram on the palm of my hand depressedly and asked, "Now tell me what you want from me!"
I feel like I've been cheated. If this is a good thing, would Bai Wuchang deceive and force me like this? Alas! I think I'm still too naive. From now on, whenever a ghost wants to give me something, I must first understand the situation. If I'm so confused, I'll become a ghost messenger!
"Don't be ungrateful, kid. To be honest, this is a good job. When you encounter evil spirits in the world of the living, you can redeem them with a lot of points. Points can be exchanged for many practical magic tools from me, including cultivation secrets. In the underworld, we don't lack notes from some venerables or masters. Besides, you are an intern, so what complicated tasks can there be? You can just run errands to exchange for points. Mr. Bai, I am taking care of you because I like you."
Mr. Bai looked very disappointed with me. As he spoke, even his beard seemed to be curling up in anger because of my lack of understanding.
I stared at Mr. Bai with a strange look in my eyes and said, "What exactly do you want me to do?"
