Chapter 20

underworld.

After Luo and Luo Zhi got off the pedestrian bridge, they went for a walk in the Youth Olympic Park. In the end, they had nothing to do, so they came to the underworld early.

The Ghost King had set up a setting for Luo Yu where he could only enter at 12:12 midnight, but with Luo Zhi there, that wasn't a problem.

Luo Yu walked around the hall of the ghost house with his hands behind his back. He didn't have time to take a closer look before, but now he saw clearly that each spirit beast carved on the wall had more than just the form of a spirit beast.

The ox spirit beast in front of him at the moment had a hoe, a four-toothed rake, and a shovel on its back.

Luo Yu said to Luo Zhi, who had been standing still in the middle of the hall, "Luo Zhi, why is this ox carrying so many tools on its back?"

Luo Zhi looked towards him, then glanced slightly at the toiling ox on the wall and said, "He is in charge of the land of the underworld. If the land of the underworld is polluted, he will take action to clean it up."

As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Yu was able to guess what positions the objects carved on each spirit beast on the wall represented.

Past the ox was a tiger, a beast carved with bared fangs and claws, looking heroic and majestic. Its two giant fangs held a dense mass of ferocious-looking little ghosts, presumably catching bad ghosts. And past that was a rabbit, a beast carved with an extremely upright posture, standing upright with one front leg in a saluting gesture.

Luo Yu immediately thought of Officer Rabbit and asked, "Luo Zhi, is Rabbit a police officer?"

Luo Zhi said: "You can understand it this way. The order of the underworld is managed by her."

Luo Yu nodded, his face thoughtful. After a moment, he asked with a smile, "What about you? Master Luo Zhi, what are you in charge of?"

Luo Zhi saw him smile and couldn't help curling up his lips. He said, "Idleness is like the interaction of yin and yang. Be kind to others."

Luo Yu approached him, stared into his eyes, and asked, "Besides me, who else is there in your kindness to others?"

Luo Zhi said, "For now, it's just you."

Luo Yu took two steps closer to him, this time her gaze fixed intensely on his pale red lips.

Luo Yu's eyes were filled with greed. He was wondering how soft these lips were. Compared with the soft European bread, which one was better?

Just as he leaned over to compare, Luo Zhi took two steps back and said, "We should go to the main room to find the Ghost King to get Gi."

Gi is the most indispensable item on the way to find the ghost under the tree. Only with its guidance can you find the ghost under the tree accurately.

Luo Yumei was a little depressed, but he would not give up making comparisons!

He quickly adjusted his mood and put on a smile: "Master Luozhi, please lead the way."

They exited the large stone gate and turned right, passing through the life and death chamber, the storage room, the auxiliary room, and finally the main room. Each room was extremely quiet and eerie. Aside from the words engraved on the doorplates, everything else was similar. They all had lattice doors, and a dim oil lamp hung on each side.

Luo Zhi knocked twice on the lattice door of the main room, and without paying attention to the ghost inside calling for someone to come in, he pushed the door open and walked in.

In the main room, the Ghost King was sitting at a table, playing with an object similar to a compass in his hand. It was copper-colored, round, exquisite and small.

The Ghost King didn't get angry when the door was pushed open without his permission. Instead, he pretended not to notice and picked up the teapot to fill three cups with tea. He said, "Are you standing there like a guard dog? Come here."

The Ghost King no longer uses that weird mechanical voice since the last time he asked them to catch the troublemaking ghost.

Luo Zhi nodded to Luo Yu, motioning him to follow him.

After sitting down, the Ghost King's face, shrouded in black mist, kept staring at Luo Yu. Luo Yu boldly looked back at him, although she could not see his facial features.

Luo Yu saw him fill three cups of tea and thought that there should be one for him, so he looked at him and picked up a cup of tea. Just when the rim of the cup was about to touch his lips, the Ghost King suddenly shouted.

"How dare you! Who told you to drink!!!"

Luo Yu's hand trembled, and when the tea was about to spill on him, he didn't know why, but his hand suddenly lost control and spun and threw, spilling the entire cup of tea on the Ghost King's black robe.

When Luo Yu saw this scene, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

He definitely didn't do it on purpose. He was being controlled, and the one who controlled him to do this was definitely Luozhi.

The Ghost King suddenly chuckled, "You're protecting it pretty closely." He filled another cup of tea and handed it to Luo Yu, this time saying softly, "Tea needs to be filtered the first time it's poured. Don't you know this basic knowledge?"

"..." That's true, but you don't have to be so bluffing, right? I'm a living being with a very fragile heart.

Luo Yu decided not to drink the tea. He was worried that something strange might happen again. He looked at Luo Zhi beside him.

Luo Zhi's eyes were fixed on the Ghost King's hand. He said to the Ghost King, "Gi, are you willing to go with us?"

The small object in the Ghost King's hand was Gi. He handed it to Luo Zhi and said, "Of course, I've fed it a lot of spiritual energy recently. If it doesn't obey me again, it will be beaten."

Luo Zhi took Gi, put it away, stood up, and said to Luo Yu, "Let's go."

Luo Yu quickly got up and left this haunted room that he didn't want to enter a second time.

After leaving the ghost house, Luo Yu asked, "Shall we set out now to look for the ghost under the tree? Where is that ghost? Is it far away?"

Luo Zhi answered as he walked: "No, let's go find the pervert first."

"Huh?" Luo Yu didn't understand, "Who's that pervert?"

Luo Zhi said, "Wang Sanpao."

“…”

Luo Yule was happy and said, "Hasn't he turned over a new leaf? Stop calling him a pervert."

Luo Zhi stopped and looked at him: "You are very protective of him."

Luo Yu was stunned, thinking that Luo Zhi looked jealous. Luo Yu said, "Yes, I think he is very good."

Luo Zhi said, "What's good about it? Why can't I see it?"

Sure enough, he was jealous. Luo Yu sniffed, looked up at the gray sky, and said nothing. He wanted Luo Zhi to figure it out on his own.

Then in the end he really couldn't stand it anymore, so he came to him to ask him clearly. Luo Yu then explained to him why he had such emotions, and told him that he had fallen in love and they had to be together!

He was thinking happily like this, completely unaware that Luo Zhi had already left him and walked forward alone.

"Yeah, yes, that's right, that's it, it should be like this! It can only be like this!" Luo Yu was still standing there looking up at the sky, muttering to himself, many indescribable pictures were forming in his mind one by one.

Luo Zhi had walked more than a hundred meters. Seeing that the man was still there, he turned back with more weight, pulled the fool who was still looking at the sky, and walked towards the end of the street where Wangwang often appeared.

Luo Yu was very happy to be dragged along, and he had a smile on his face the whole time, like the silly son of a landlord. Luo Zhi's pace was a bit fast, and Luo Yu had to jog to keep pace with him.

To go to the end of Xiangxu Street, you naturally have to pass through Xiangxu Street, and naturally you have to pass by the tea stall.

Sure enough, I met the tea stall owner again.

The tea stall owner was willing to give them two cups of tea this time. Looking at them holding hands, he joked, "Oh, your relationship is really getting better and better. You're even holding hands this time. Will you pass by my place in a sedan chair next time?"

Luo Yu almost spit out a mouthful of water. The tea stall owner's words were too harsh. He didn't even dare to think about things like a sedan chair.

“Cough cough cough…”

Luo Yu wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth and said shamelessly: "No, no, it's still early."

Luo Zhi: “…………”

The tea stall owner stared at them with his mouth wide open. He didn't expect that just a casual joke would lead to him learning such a big news!

"It's too early", so if you say that, doesn't that mean...

There's a wedding coming to the underworld! The young master of the ghost palace is getting married! And he's marrying a male ghost! Celebrate with all the world!

The tea stall owner patted his chest to calm his pounding heart. He said, "Who else but me knows about this?"

If not, then he would be the first to know. In that case, he would have to help so that they can get married quickly and let the ghosts in the underworld drink the wedding wine from the ghost house!

The tea stall owner became more and more excited as he thought about it, his whole body boiling with blood, and without even filtering his thoughts, he blurted out, "Leave everything to this unworthy ghost!"

"..." Luo Yu didn't know what he meant. He glanced at Luo Zhi and saw that he didn't seem to be disgusted, so he replied: "I don't know, I don't know. You are the second one to know. When the time comes, you have to come and do our... Hey -"

Luo Zhi couldn't stand this kind of crazy behavior anymore. He drank the tea in his hand in one gulp, put it back on the stall cart, and quickly pulled Luo Yu away.

On the street, a man and a ghost walked in a hurry, just like a couple who were in a hurry to enter the bridal chamber. They had been holding back for a long time and were about to ejaculate!

Luo Yu was forced to jog and complained, "Master Luo Zhi, can you please slow down a bit? I can't handle your speed."

Luo Zhi slowed down.

"That's almost right." Luo Yu said.

Luo Zhi let go and said, "That tea stall owner's words are incoherent. You should have less contact with him in the future."

Luo Yu thought about it and felt that there was nothing strange about the tea stall owner. But since Luo Zhi had spoken, he had to respond. Luo Yu said, "I see. Oh, right."

Luo Zhi: “Hmm?”

Luo Yu said: "Why do you want to bring Wang Sanpao with you this time?"

Luo Zhi said, "According to Gi's instructions, the ghost is in the area of ​​the starving ghosts. In the underworld, starving ghosts are extremely numerous. They have no consciousness and will bite any ghost they see. If we bring an extra helper, it will be easier to deal with them."

"Wait a minute!" Luo Yu suddenly stopped, pointed at his chest, and said with a bitter face: "I don't have any spiritual power at all, so if I go there, won't I be just an ant?"

Luo Zhi said: "No, I am here."

Luo Yu said, "Then how are you going to protect me?" He smirked, "You can't just carry me on your back or hug me, right? If you do that, will you still have the energy to fight ghosts?"

"..." Luo Zhi said: "I will give you a baguette when the time comes."

Luo Yu: "Baguette?"

Luo Zhi: “Yeah.”

Luo Yu: "Baguette?"

Luo Zhi: “…”

Luo Zhi was quite impressed by his train of thought. He explained, "It's the stick with magic power, not the bread."

Luo Yu asked, "Isn't that a magic wand?"

Luo Zhi said: "Yes, I will give you another hat when the time comes."

Luo Yu was pushing the issue further: "That's not enough, I need to add a cloak, it has to be more domineering!"

Luo Zhi sighed silently, didn't reply, and continued walking straight ahead.

When passing through a small alley, I suddenly heard ghosts arguing and making noise in the alley, and the two voices sounded very familiar.

Luo Zhi stopped, nodded to Luo Yu, and said, "It's them."

"Hey you little bastard, what did we just say? Whoever loses gets to sweep."

"How dare you say that! I threw out my fist and you threw out paper. How do you play rock-paper-scissors like that?!"

"Why not? That's just how I am. I don't care. Anyway, you lose, so you have to sweep the floor today."

Deep in the narrow alley, Wangwang and Wang Sanpao were arguing endlessly about who would sweep the streets today. They decided by playing rock-paper-scissors, but Wangwang, the dog, kept cheating.

Every time Wang Sanpao threw a punch, he would see it and then fight back, so he had never lost. In the first few days, Wang Sanpao thought it was okay and didn't care, after all, this was what his grandfather arranged for him to do. But as time went on, his grandfather seemed to have abandoned him and never saw him again. He didn't want to endure this humiliation anymore, so he just exploded today!

Wang Sanpao continued to roar, "You bastard, you don't even treat me like a ghost! Damn it, you're one of the Twelve Spiritual Beasts, so what? Go ahead and skin me alive if you can!? Hahahaha... You definitely wouldn't dare. Do you know how powerful my grandfather is? Huh?"

Wangwang sneered and was about to say "I am your grandfather" when he was interrupted by a voice that gave him a headache.

"Wang Sanpao." Luo Zhi shouted.

Wang Sanpao was stunned and looked in the direction of the sound.

Luo Zhi and Luo Yu stood side by side at the end of the alley. Luo Yu was still the same, with a smile always on his face; and his grandfather was also the same, with a cold face always on his face, as if he owed him two million.

When Wang Sanpao saw them, he knew that he was going to be taken home, and he couldn't hold it back and burst into howling: "Wa ...

His ghostly cries were so deafening that the ghosts passing by the alley were attracted to look inside.

Road Ghost A: "Did you bully him, Mr. Dog? Why is he crying like this?"

Road Ghost B: "Nonsense! How could Lord Dog bully us? This little ghost must have done something disrespectful to Lord Dog! Lord Dog, I will always believe in you!"

Road Ghost Bing: "There was a broom next to Mr. Dog. This little ghost must have come out to cause trouble when Mr. Dog was sweeping, and then Mr. Dog gave him a good beating!"

Lu Guiding: "Mr. Dog, just spank him a few times with a broom to teach him a lesson. He looks quite small."

The voices became more and more numerous and more and more mixed. Some ghosts started saying that Wang Sanpao was actually Wangwang's illegitimate son, and he was scolding the child from behind.

The more Luo Yu listened, the more he wanted to laugh. The chatter of these ghosts was no less than that of the village aunties after dinner, gossiping about how so-and-so's wife was pregnant with a boy or how so-and-so's wife was extremely lazy...

Luo Zhi felt a headache after hearing this. In front of the ghosts, he pulled out the tearful Wang Sanpao, and then took up Luo Yu who was about to join the chat team.

The ghosts blocked the exit of the alley. Luo Zhi glanced at them coldly. The ghosts immediately felt a sense of oppression and retreated to both sides to make way for him.
