Chapter 123: Things from the Underworld
After being shocked, the ghost standing next to Mianmian reacted and quickly ran to Mianmian, pushing aside the ghost who was questioning Mianmian.
"I'll take you there, I'll take you there, just give me a gold ingot."
"Let me take you there. I'm very familiar with the road. I led more ghosts than anyone else last month. I'm an excellent employee."
"I will take you with me. I don't need you to pay me. All you need is to say a few good words for me in front of the judge."
The ghost officials surrounded Mianmian, talking and shoving each other to get the job.
Mianmian didn't expect to be surrounded. She raised her head and looked around at these ghost officials, not knowing who to choose to lead the way for her.
At this moment, a familiar face suddenly appeared from between the legs of a ghost.
Mianmian saw it and excitedly called out the name: "Yao Qian Yao Qian!"
Yao Qian had just led the ghost he had hooked into the gates of hell.
The road on the Ghost Gate side is called Huangquan Road. Huangquan Road is very wide at the beginning, but it becomes narrower and narrower as you go further, and you need to queue up.
It was also the first time that Yao Qian saw his colleagues gathered together and not in a hurry to bring the ghost in. He thought it was strange so he came in to watch the fun.
There were too many people, so he could only crawl in through the gaps between the ghosts' feet. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he met his aunt Su Mianmian.
"Oh, isn't this my aunt?" Yao Qian was very excited. "You said it was done. Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came here to play? I could pick you up."
The tone of voice used to coax the child made the ghost who knew Yao Qian speechless.
"Yao Qian, how come you've become such a lackey?"
"That's right. Some time ago, I sent a few evil ghosts down to claim the reward. They looked down on us and made a lot of gold ingots."
"Yao Qian, I'm telling you, get out of the way quickly. This kid asked me a question first."
As the ghost officials spoke, they were about to pull Yao Qian away so that they could talk to Mianmian.
Yao Qian didn't want to give way at all. He quickly grabbed the soul-catching rope next to Mianmian's hand and squatted beside Mianmian.
"Little aunt, please help me, Yao Qian, my legs are almost broken."
The essence of ghost messengers is still souls, and souls can be pulled. Yao Qian's legs were stretched very long by many ghost messengers, like the candy that Mianmian had eaten.
Mianmian was also afraid that Yao Qian's legs would be torn off, so she quickly used a Vajra Talisman on Yao Qian.
Yao Qian's legs returned to their original state. With a smile on her face, she touched the Yide villagers on the soul-catching lock and praised them, "As expected of a young lady, you are amazing. The souls you catch are so extraordinary! Look at the black energy on your body. I estimate that if you were in the world of the living, you would become a ghost king in a few days."
Mianmian felt embarrassed by the compliment, and smiled with her white teeth bared: "No, no, Mianmian is not that great."
After saying the polite words, she curiously asked Yao Qian: "Yao Qian, where is the soul you are seducing?"
The ghost officials around are all suppressing my soul.
Mianmian's words brought Yao Qian back to his senses. He looked down at his hands and slapped his thigh, "Oh, no, I lost that little devil just to watch the fun."
Yao Qian hurriedly stood on tiptoe to look towards the Ghost Gate, fearing that the little evil ghost would escape from it.
These ghost messengers are actually also practicing. What they practice is ghost magic. They rely on catching ghosts to record their performance so that they can obtain more training resources and money from the underworld.
The reason why Yao Qian can catch these little evil ghosts now is that Mianmian gave him two imprisoned evil ghosts before, so that he could successfully upgrade.
Mianmian saw that Yao Qian was indeed anxious, and there were still many ghost officials gathered around, so she summoned a flying sword and took Yao Qian to fly into the air.
I just happened to see the evil ghost tied by the soul-catching rope walking among the ghost messengers and almost reaching the gates of hell.
Mianmian flew over quickly so that Yao Qian could grab the soul-catching rope and bring the little evil ghost back.
This was a good opportunity to escape from the encirclement of other ghost officials.
Yao Qianke was excited: "Oh my God, how come you are so strong that you can use a flying sword in the underworld?"
Mianmian was stunned: "Can't it be used in the underworld?"
Seeing that Mianmian didn't know, Yao Qian explained, "I died early, and became a ghost catcher early. Back then, the soul of a cultivator was captured by Judge Zhong and taken to the underworld. He wanted to fly away, but he failed."
"What Judge Zhong said is that the underworld has restrictions and even the Jade Emperor has to abide by them."
When Mianmian heard that there were regulations, she landed immediately.
She wants to be a good and obedient child.
Before Yao Qian could enjoy it, the flying sword fell to the ground, and he could only queue up in the narrowest place and move forward.

He felt a pang of regret: If only he hadn't said anything about this, he might have been able to enjoy it to the fullest.
But it doesn't matter, at least I have a name in front of my aunt. I heard that Judge Cui went out for a long time one day, maybe he went to see my aunt, otherwise how could my aunt have Judge Cui's token?
Yao Qian was determined to make Mian Mian like him more, so he began to introduce: "Little aunt, this is Huangquan Road. We, the ghost messenger, have brought the ghosts to Huangquan Road. We have to pass Wangxiang Pavilion, Evil Dog Ridge, Jinji Mountain, Wild Ghost Village, and the Hall of Bewilderment before we can reach Fengdu Ghost City to wait for the next trial."
"There are too many ghosts. Fengdu is full of souls. We are so busy."
Mianmian had heard this before, and had also heard her mother introduce the structure of the underworld. At this moment, she was curiously looking at the bright red flowers blooming on the Yellow Springs Road. This flower is called the red spider lily, and is also called Lycoris radiata in Sanskrit.
The red spider lily is a large patch of bright red. When the flowers are in bloom, you can't see the leaves, and when there are leaves, you can't see the flowers. It is a very magical flower.
My mother said that these flowers bloom everywhere in the underworld, and she also said that they are not delicious, so you should never eat them if you see them.
Seeing it with her own eyes this time, Mianmian was really curious about how bad it tasted, so she asked Yao Qian: "Have you ever eaten this flower?"
Yao Qian was stunned: "Ah? You mean the red spider lily? This thing that grows in the underworld must not be delicious. Why would you eat it?"
In fact, the main reason is that eating red spider lilies will make ghosts recall the saddest things they have experienced.
Mianmian pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes rolling around as she thought of something evil: "Mianmian is just curious and wants to try it. Is it okay to pick one? It's okay, right? Right?"
She asked three times in a row, blinking her big eyes, looking innocent and cute.
Yao Qian was so touched by the cute little girl that he squatted down and picked one directly: "Eat it, eat it, eat as much as you want."
"Thank you!" Mianmian said, then she took the flower and picked a petal and put it in her mouth. As soon as she closed her mouth, she frowned and wanted to spit out the flower.
Mom didn’t lie, this flower really doesn’t taste good, it’s so bitter!
and……
The scene of her seeing her parents lying on the bed with their souls in the monument reappeared in front of her eyes.
Mianmian's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she said sadly: "Okay, I still have to listen to my mother. This flower is really not delicious."
