Chapter 75: Falling from the Sky
"Um, okay, the Ningxiang you're looking for might be in the area of the Great Sheng Ghost King. If I'm not mistaken, Ningxiang is the third general of the Great Sheng Ghost King, the Tongtian Ghost King."
"I! F**k!" I couldn't help but swear. This Bai Wuchang must have known Ningxiang's whereabouts for a long time. I guess my identity was already checked out by Bai Wuchang in Jieying City. No wonder this old guy was so eager to come here, with a communication bracelet and a trainee ghost soldier waiting for me here!
"Don't be so excited! You should know that you are now a civil servant in the underworld. You should have the minimum respect for your superiors, okay? Besides, is it useful for you to clench your fists? Do you want to talk to me alone?" Bai Wuchang threatened without blushing.
Ugh! I unclenched my fist in frustration. This guy got cheated and has no place to complain.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Bai Wuchang continued, "In fact, the underworld is also very caring for you. I have also applied for a close follower for you, that is Shi Qian. This little guy is quite fast, so there is no problem using him to run errands. When the time comes, he will help you communicate between the Yin and Yang. Isn't this also helping you fulfill Shi Qian's wish? Besides, what are you afraid of? No matter how powerful the Ghost King of Dasheng is, he is still a rebel army, and the underworld is a government army. It is formal! Don't worry, I won't let you take risks. Besides, you are my little brother, and I have to show up to protect you if something happens to you!"
"Send me to the Ghost King of Dasheng! After all this talk, you just want me to go there. Tell me, do you want me to persuade Ningxiang to come here?" I said disdainfully. I no longer believe in Bai Wuchang. I really don't know which ancient person fooled people for no reason, and it was even written in the book that Bai Wuchang never breaks his promise. This guy is obviously an old fool.
"That's right, brother. Hahaha!" Bai Wuchang laughed for a long time after hearing what I said and then continued, "This trick of tricking the Ghost King Tongtian here is just a convenience given the relationship between brother and him. What I want is for you to bring back a tiger-head jade pendant from the Ghost King Dasheng. To be honest, that thing is just a family heirloom when I was a human! I don't know where the Ghost King Dasheng heard that it was a magic weapon and stole it from me. But it's just an ordinary thing, but the Ghost King Dasheng always carries it with him to annoy me. As long as you can get this jade pendant back, I promise to give you 30,000 points and let you level up three times."
Looking at Bai Wuchang's increasingly bright eyes, I decisively waved my hand to interrupt him: "Are you asking me to steal?"
"Why aren't you willing, brother?" Bai Wuchang looked at me puzzled and asked.
"Okay, but I want 200,000 points. And you have to give me something to protect myself. Like a magic weapon." I smiled and returned the smile as charmingly as the one Bai Wuchang gave me.
"Two hundred thousand, you think the points are ghost money, you can burn as much as you want, right?" Bai Wuchang roared angrily.
"This jade pendant!" I tilted my head and pretended to think.
"What's wrong with the jade pendant?" Bai Wuchang immediately looked at me nervously.
"Okay, stop pretending. It's an heirloom. Why don't you say it's a token of love between you and your lover? If it was an ordinary object, would you have made up such a long story to fool people?" I gave a mocking smile.
"Uh!" Bai Wuchang was choked by me and couldn't speak! After a moment of silence, he said: "You are so cruel, I promise you."
Seeing Bai Wuchang's frustrated look, I felt much better! On the first day in the underworld, I was either chased or tricked by this old guy. This time, I finally got back on track.
"Pay your salary now." I had no intention of letting this White Impermanence go, so I just stretched out my hand and said.
Bai Wuchang stared at me blankly and shouted angrily, "Do you think I, the Second Master Bai, am just a fool? I'm not going to default on your few points."
I said noncommittally, "You gave me the magic weapon for self-defense, Ghost King Dasheng! Do you think I'm that awesome? Besides, I can redeem some useful points now! This is my responsibility to myself."
Uh! "Okay, but I'll give you the magic weapon first. This is the Soul Locking Chain. If an ordinary ghost encounters you, you will be helpless. I can only give you 10,000 points, and you can settle the rest when you come back. This is already my greatest authority. If you keep making trouble, I don't mind giving up the jade pendant. Let's do business!"
Bai Wuchang took out a chain from his arms with a cold face and threw it over.
I caught the chain and threw it to Shi Qian beside me, my eyes still not leaving Bai Wuchang.
"What are you looking at? I've already crossed out your points. Go find them in your bracelet yourself." Bai Wuchang waved his hand unhappily, and then said to the ghost soldier driving the car, "Hurry up and throw this guy over."
I ignored it, on the contrary, I was in a very good mood. As soon as my consciousness touched the bracelet, I saw two interfaces.
Contacts, and redemption interface.
There was only Bai Wuchang's name in the address book. I couldn't help but laugh secretly. This is a dedicated line! It would be a good choice to come to Bai Wuchang to talk whenever I have something to do. I threw a soul-locking chain at random. Although it is the standard equipment of the ghost soldiers, it is also a rare top-grade product. You know, the things of the ghost soldiers cannot be touched by living people. I just took this chain in my hand.
This old guy is a real rich man! How happy it is to be friends with a rich man!
I opened the redemption page with the intention of making an appointment. But I was speechless. There were many things to redeem. The first page was full of items worth less than 10,000 points.
What ghost grass! What officer uniforms, what shoes and socks. The most outrageous thing is that there are toothpaste and toothbrushes in it! Is this a department store?
Looking at the high price above, a dozen toothbrushes cost two thousand points, my mood immediately dropped to the bottom. Why did I feel like I was ripped off again?
"Hmph, kid, you think you can exchange ten thousand points for a plane? Look carefully, there are a lot of little gadgets in here that are worth the money." Bai Wuchang suddenly said unhappily.
I looked at Bai Wuchang with disdain. I patiently looked at the exchange panel again. After flipping through hundreds of pages, I finally found something very interesting. A storage bag!
Could this thing be a space magic weapon ? Look at the value of this storage bag, 10,000 points!
Just when I was about to ask Bai Wuchang what this storage bag was, I suddenly felt dizzy, and my body felt like it was falling from a high altitude.
After about a cup of tea, my eyes suddenly lit up, but my hair stood on end. Damn, this is in the sky! This Bai Wuchang tricked me again, this guy threw it down, and he really threw it down!
There was no support in the sky, and the strong wind made it difficult for me to open my eyes.
There was a loud rumbling sound. My body firmly touched a relatively soft place. Then the dust fell down with a crash.
When I finally calmed down and looked around, I found myself in a simple house. There were two elderly couples holding bowls and staring at me blankly.
Ahem, I sat up and realized that I was at the other person's table.
Rubbing my still dizzy forehead, I stammered, "I said I fell down accidentally, do you believe me?"
The old man and the old woman stared with their eyes wide open and nodded at the same time.
I stood up and looked at the sky. I had smashed a big hole in the roof. I felt embarrassed. But no matter how embarrassed I was, I couldn't pay it back! The paper money Zheng Qihuai sent was in Shi Qian's hands. So where was Shi Qian?
While I was thinking about it, a dark shadow floated over from the sky, accompanied by a shrill scream.
"Bai Wuchang, you bastard! Ahhhh! Bang!"
The table in front of the old man and the old woman has been shattered into pieces!
Shi Qian climbed up from the pile of broken wood, looked at me blankly, then looked at the old man and old woman who were still standing there in a daze.
"Stop looking, leave some money here and let's go!" I couldn't help but remind him.
Shi Qian subconsciously took out a stack of paper money from his bag and threw it on the ground. He followed me and fled out of the room.
Before he ran far, he heard the old lady in the house screaming, "Oh, ghost money, so much ghost money! Old man, with this money we can go into the city!"
"It's Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who has mercy on us and sent the God of Wealth down from the sky! Old woman, hurry up and worship the God of Wealth, maybe some money will fall from your face later."
This was the old man's voice. Hearing this, I immediately stopped and changed my mind.
Shi Qian saw me stop and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Ni Ge? If he doesn't leave, does he have to repair the house for them?"
I rolled my eyes at Shi Qian, stroking my chin and said, "Don't you think we can find another good guide?"
"You mean!" Shi Qian was not stupid. He immediately understood what I said.
I smiled slightly, turned around and walked back.
"Oh! The God of Wealth is here again, and this time he comes in from the door. Thank you for the blessing of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." When the old lady saw me appear, she knelt down on the ground excitedly.
I smiled and said, "I see that you are sincere, so I came back to help you more. Since you want to live in the city, I will go with you to help you buy a house so that you can enjoy life in the city."
"Oh! Thank you, God of Fortune, let's go!" The old man and the old woman were so excited that they simply threw away the dishes in their hands. They patted their buttocks and planned to leave directly.
I looked around and saw that there was nothing there except the house. I pretended to be profound and said, "God has divine power. Spending money is also a cause and effect. Do you want me to lead the way?"
I find this sentence confusing. This proverb is always used to lie. When I encounter a rebuttal, I will say that only a ghost would believe it. But now I am lying to a ghost, and this ghost actually believes it.
But if I can really rely on them to enter the city smoothly, I don't mind giving them ghost money to buy some real estate in the city. After all, there is no use for me to keep the ghost money!
