Fortunately, there was still the reliable brother, the Emperor of Fengdu, who helped manage the underworld, thus preventing any chaos.
The Emperor of Fengdu also established seventy-five departments, all of which were for capturing and imprisoning ghosts.
The Ten Kings of Hell, who are in charge of the trials, each have their own duties in the underworld. They also need to share the responsibilities that the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak does not handle.
This led to a situation where there were too many things to handle in the first twenty years, and many of them had to work overtime.
But now everything is gradually sorted out, and finally I don't have to work overtime anymore.
As Shen Bai listened to their conversation, he watched the man juicing an orange. The orange was fresh, but it seemed to be missing something.
Once the milk tea was ready, Ox-Head and Horse-Face each received a cup of milk tea and handed the juice to Chen Bai.
"Let's give it a try, have some drinks while we stroll around."
Shen Bai nodded, lowered his head and took a sip of juice through the straw. It was sweet and sour, and tasted delicious.
There were many other shops ahead, and Shen Bai noticed that they all had cell phones in their hands, but he didn't.
"Do you guys have cell phones too? I think I forgot my bag."
Shen Bai suddenly remembered that his little peach wood sword and cell phone hadn't come down with him.
Niu Tou tilted his head to look at him:
"It's okay, we can't get through to the living world by phone anyway, unless we have special channels, like when we add you on WeChat."
Oh right, I think Shen Bai added them on WeChat before.
"Well, why don't you send a text message? What if I've been dead for too long and Master cremated me?"
Shen Bai suddenly thought of this, and his face became serious.
"Little Calf, Little Horse, if I'm not quite dead yet, you have to help me."
The bull-headed horse and the bull-faced man exchanged a glance, then could only take out their phones.
"Was it sent to your phone? What if your master didn't check your phone?"
Niu Tou asked a question, and Shen Bai also fell into deep thought.
"But this is the only way, otherwise if it really burns, I won't be able to go back."
Seeing that Shen Bai looked unhappy, Ma Mian immediately said:
"Then let's send it, let's send it, they'll definitely see it."
So, Ox-Head and Horse-Face immediately took out their phones and sent a message to Shen Bai on WeChat.
Little Cow: [Little White is in the underworld, don't burn him.]
Little Horse: [Old man, you're not allowed to burn Little White's body.]
Shen Bai glanced at him, then looked helplessly at Ma Mian: "He's my master, after all. You should be more polite to him."
Horse-face scoffed, "Your master isn't as powerful as you, and his cultivation is limited. He'll still have to come down and be a brother in the future."
"That's a matter for the future."
"Oh well, let's go, we'll take you to see the King of Hell's palace."
The bull-headed man acted like a local guide, leading Shen Bai directly through the horde of ghosts and continuing forward.
During this time, Shen Bai also saw a girl in red making soup in front of the Reincarnation Path, with ghosts queuing up in front of her.
"That's Meng Po. Her soup has no flavor and makes you forgetful. We can't drink it."
Shen Bai blinked. He didn't want to drink it; he just hadn't expected Meng Po to be a young woman. He thought she was an old lady.
And Meng Po over there happened to look over.
Is that a person? But why does he look so familiar? Have I seen him somewhere before?
Before she could even think of it, the ghost in front of her spoke.
"Miss, it's my turn. Could you add some water to my soup? I'm a great musician. When I'm reincarnated, I'll go to a competition when I'm only two years old and scare them to death."
Meng Po glanced at the male ghost and frowned slightly.
"Tsk, no way, that's cheating. Are you trying to use your lifespan to win the championship?"
Upon hearing this, the ghost immediately became obedient.
He finished the soup, smacked his lips, and said it wasn't bad, but it still felt like it had been diluted with water.
Meng Po waved her hand: "Go, go, go, there are other ghosts waiting behind."
She continued serving soup to the ghosts behind her, then suddenly paused.
"Hiss, is that painting in the study of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, depicting this person?"
Meng Po felt that it looked very similar, but at this time Shen Bai had already been taken away by Ox-Head and Horse-Face, so Meng Po stopped thinking about it and continued to work.
Shen Bai followed Ox-Head and Horse-Face to the Yama Palace, the first hall of which was occupied by King Qin Guang.
"Go in and ask if you're really dead. If you are, then see what to do. You're so young, it's a pity."
Niu Tou really didn't want Chen Bai to die like this.
After all, Shen Bai has helped send down many wandering ghosts over the years, saving them a lot of work time.
They didn't know Shen Bai at first, but when Shen Bai was just a little kid, he was able to catch ghosts and bring them all down.
They could even see the Black and White Impermanence. Ox-Head and Horse-Face didn't believe it at first, but they had no choice but to believe it after seeing it with their own eyes.
After that, they liked to tease Chen Bai, but Chen Bai was not afraid of them at all, and sometimes even used talismans to scare them.
Over time, Shen Bai became friends with them.
Just as they were about to enter, the guards at the gate informed them that King Qin Guang had gone to the palace of the Eastern Peak Emperor.
"I guess he went to get some documents. That's great. I'll take you to see where the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak lives."
Horse-faced, with a deep white aura, teleported again.
As Shen Bai felt the cool breeze, he thought being a ghost was quite convenient; he didn't even have to walk.
Not long afterward, they arrived at a large mountain.
Shen Bai knew very well that the mountain in front of him was the legendary Mount Tai, but it was different from the Mount Tai in the mortal world.
There are no breathtaking sunrises here, only a gloomy and desolate scene.
However, this scene is still quite breathtaking!
Halfway up the mountain, there stands a magnificent and solemn palace—Dongyue Palace—quietly.
It is like a dazzling pearl set in the mountains, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.
From a distance, the Dongyue Palace has a unique architectural style, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted rafters.
The palace was surrounded by clouds and mist, making it seem as if one was in a dream, which made people marvel at the wonders of nature.
"This is where the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak lives. Let's go up and take a look."
Although they weren't high-ranking ghosts, they could still meet with these important figures because ghosts often held multiple positions and needed to search for information from time to time.
Unlike the other little devils who floated slowly, they could simply leap up and carry Shen Bai up with them.
Shen Bai was being carried by the two ghosts, flying directly towards the palace of the Eastern Peak Emperor.
Finally, they arrived at their destination, where a magnificent and imposing palace came into view. The palace soared into the clouds, its golden splendor radiating an awe-inspiring aura.
Looking at the huge plaque above the main gate, with the three characters "Dongyue Palace" written in a flamboyant style, Shen Bai felt that the handwriting was somewhat familiar.
