The official road involves many procedures and various supernatural beings in charge. Trying to get out through the official road is like passing through heavily guarded checkpoints in the human world, which is extremely difficult.
The second type of passage is called the Ritual Passage, which is the one Wang Yao entered through. It is the passage used by officials from the underworld when they go on official visits or by officials and people from the outside world when they come to visit. This type of passage is only used for receiving visitors, and the guards are relatively loose, but there are not many of them. The gate they just arrived at is a Ritual Passage.
There is another type called a private passage, which is a passage opened up by a master in the underworld or outside the world without authorization. It is the most secretive, and once discovered, one can enter and exit the underworld silently.
However, since it is a private passage, not many ghosts know about it. Moreover, since humans have the ability to set up private passages, they can also set up mechanisms to prevent ghosts from entering and leaving without permission, so the risks are still quite significant.
There are also secret passages and death passages. Secret passages are formed when the underworld collapses at the junction with other realms. These passages are very well hidden, and ghosts who discover them usually slip away secretly long ago and would never tell other ghosts.
The Death Path is a secret passage that has been discovered by the Underworld, but cannot be repaired, so it can only be sealed off from the inside or the outside.
The path that the ghosts wanted to take with Hui Shuo was the path of propriety mentioned above. However, this was the only path of propriety in this area. To find other paths of propriety, they would have to take a shuttle. Of course, there was also an official road here, as well as many secret passages and death passages.
Several of the ghosts present worked in the transportation department of the Underworld's Yellow Springs Road. Originally, they were helping to guide the green-robed ghost to find Hui Shuo and Wang Yao, but now they had fallen in love with Hui Shuo and their stance had changed. They were even more dedicated than when guiding the green-robed ghost, racking their brains to tell him all the passages they knew.
After listening to the traffic ghost's story, Wang Yao pondered for a while. Needless to say, the Path of Etiquette was impassable, and the chances of getting through the secret passage or the dead passage were too slim. As for taking the shuttle to other areas to take a look...
As mentioned before, the terrain around the shuttle platform is not good, and it is very likely that Gucci will trap them like turtles in a jar.
Although his matchmaking skill is that the more ghosts the better, if Gu Qi arranges two fierce ghosts like those in green robes to guard the exit of the shuttle platform, Wang Yao really doesn't have a good way to protect Hui Shuo. Compared to taking the shuttle, it's better to take the official road.
One reason is that Wang Yao possesses the skill of the Matchmaker. Although there are many ghosts on the official road, he can tell from the traffic ghosts that most of these administrative ghosts are of low level. He should not be affected by his matchmaking for Hui Shuo. Each ghost costs 100 magic power, and the more ghosts there are, the greater the help.
Furthermore, the official road is open at both ends, unlike the shuttle platform which only has one exit. Even if I don't guarantee protection at both ends, rushing to one end should probably not be a problem.
"Let's take the official road!" Wang Yao shouted to the ghosts as soon as he made up his mind. The ghosts disagreed with his choice and argued among themselves, with most suggesting taking the shuttle to other areas along the proper routes.
“Listen to me, everyone. The official road cannot be closed easily. This will reduce the chances of us being turned away. Besides, there are many ghosts on the official road. How could they possibly outnumber us? Since everyone thinks the official road cannot be used, I suppose the underworld thinks so too.”
"Now that the Underworld wants to ensure that the other passages are not lost, the defense of the official road will inevitably be relaxed. But we will take the official road by surprise. When we get to the official road, I will be the vanguard and everyone will protect the Holy Monk and rush out in one go!" Wang Yao shouted.
After listening to Wang Yao's words, the ghosts thought about it and felt that it made sense, so they stopped arguing and surrounded Hui Shuo to head towards the official road. Wang Yao then told the ghosts to stop and took out some spicy strips, cakes and the like to hand to Hui Shuo.
Hui Shuo was starving. His eyes lit up at the sight of food, and he wolfed it down. Wang Yao hesitated for a moment, worried that he might choke, but then picked out a bottle of mineral water and drinks from the shopping mall he had just robbed and handed it to him.
It wasn't that Wang Yao was stingy; it was just that the things in the underworld had terrifying names. He could identify things like spicy strips by their appearance, but he couldn't tell the difference when it came to drinking water.
Would you dare drink from the "Netherworld Spring"? Would you dare touch the "Ghostly Juice"? This underworld is just a building, there's no place to grow fruit trees, do you know what that juice is made of? And then there are all sorts of other things like "Meng Po Tea", "Fierce Ghost", "Ghost Joy", etc., making it impossible to figure them out.
But now he was watching Hui Shuo eating and drinking to his heart's content, and he was afraid that he would choke and become the second Boss Yu. After hesitating for a long time, he simply took out the "Ghostly Joy". He thought to himself that this thing could make ghosts happy, and people who ate it would probably only have emotional changes and there should be no major problems.
As for things like "Netherworld Spring," "Meng Po Tea," and "Fierce Ghosts," they all involve environmental and mental aspects. If Hui Shuo were to consume them and his stomach couldn't handle it or his mind went blank, then he would be in big trouble.
With a mouthful of cake stuck in his throat, Hui Shuo's eyes bulged out. When he saw the water, he didn't care whether it was for ghosts or humans. He opened the bottle and gulped it down. Wang Yao watched anxiously from the side and saw Hui Shuo's face turn a little red after taking a big gulp.
"How is it?" Wang Yao asked nervously, afraid that if Hui Shuo drank the Netherworld beverage, it wouldn't just be a bit of fun, but something else might happen, which would be troublesome.
"So sweet." Hui Shuo smiled at Wang Yao, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, then took another cream puff and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that Hui Shuo drank the beverage without any ill effects, Wang Yao finally felt relieved. The ghosts praised Wang Yao for his thoughtfulness in preparing food for the holy monk, saying that he would surely receive the holy monk's favor and attention in the future.
