Chapter 61 Chapter 61
Mo Weian was stunned for a while before he reacted. He hesitated and said, "It's that simple?"
He thought that after being caught, he would at least be subjected to all the tortures in the underworld, and he might not even be able to ask for death. He had been mentally prepared before he fell into darkness hundreds of years ago, and that this day would come sooner or later.
But now, he actually said that it would be so simple as just being a criminal messenger? Or...
He looked at Xiao Jing, then at Yuan Tian, and both of them looked at Tang Yang with admiration.
Could it be that thanks to his son, the future King of Hell specially opened a back door for him?
Yu Qingfeng, who was standing beside him, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Then he thought of something, coughed lightly, and reminded him softly, "Think carefully, this job is not easy."
After working as an extra-curricular messenger in the underworld for a while, Yu Qingfeng had a good understanding of the work in the underworld. It was even more terrifying than the 996 work schedule in the human world, and Tang Yang meant that Mo Weian would only be given difficult tasks.
People who have made meritorious contributions while serving their sentences don’t deserve good treatment. I’m afraid they will still have to work under surveillance or something!
Although Yu Qingfeng reminded him, he secretly hoped that Mo Weian would agree. If he agreed, Mo Weian would have a chance of survival. No matter how hard or tiring it was, they would still have a chance to be together.
Mo Weian did not agree immediately, but looked at Xiao Jing, a little hesitant: "You...you also want me to agree?"
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and lowered her head to think. When she looked up again, there was an inexplicable apology in her eyes, "I'm sorry, although the TV always says that we should respect other people's fate and respect other people's choices. But..."
"I still hope that you can listen to our Boss Tang and stay to work for the underworld. That way, if I ever remember something in the future, I won't be unable to find you..."
This was Xiao Jing's real thoughts. Although he didn't remember anything now, he felt very uncomfortable when he saw Mo Weian trapped and thought that he might be beaten to death.
He believed that Mo Weian was his closest relative, and he also believed that he had hoped that he would come to pick him up. If he let Mo Weian die, he would definitely be sad and regretful when his memory came back.
Hearing this, Mo Wei'an's brows slowly relaxed, and his eyes gradually became calm and even gentle. He looked at Xiao Jing for a long while, then smiled slowly and said, "Okay, I promise you."
It was not about agreeing to the proposal of Tang Yang, the future King of Hell, but about agreeing to Xiao Jing, the child he had been searching for for hundreds of years.
As long as he was still alive, he thought, Xiao Jing would remember him one day. At that time, he would be truly reunited with his son, and his wish would be fulfilled.
"Great!" Xiao Jing couldn't help but rush towards Yuan Tian, hugged his eldest brother and cheered.
Yuan Tian steadied himself and looked at Tang Yang tacitly, both of them smiling.
OK OK, I cheated another one!
The Taoist Association in the human world and the underworld's Yinchao cooperated with each other at a rocket-like efficiency. The damaged forests and buildings were quickly repaired before dawn, and the ghosts who helped and the souls that were previously controlled by Mo Weian were also properly taken over by the underworld.
Xiao Jing's body was taken back to the Kongmen Temple for safekeeping, until the little ghost could take it back someday when he needed it.
Ouyang Xiu has been sent to the hospital, and the authorities made an excuse that her injury was caused by an accidental fall while taking a walk.
Mo Weian had a lot of negative information about her when he was her assistant, but she didn't dare to speak out after she woke up. She could only swallow her anger and think that she was unlucky, and then she took the opportunity to play the victim online and abuse her fans.
As for Mo Weian, after all, he had committed many crimes, and after confessing, he was still sentenced to go to the underworld to be punished before he could take up his post. However, before being punished, he did not forget to release the information about Ouyang Xiu.
Seeing his enemies from previous lives being punished, he always felt compelled to get involved personally to feel comfortable.
Within two days, many negative stories about Ouyang Xiu appeared on the Internet. From small things like bullying younger generations to big things like selling out friends in the circle to follow hidden rules, etc. There were many solid evidences, and for a while, there was a lot of criticism on the Internet.
Even Tang Meng, who is in the same circle and has some friendship with Ouyang Xiu, was shocked when he saw those negative materials.
"She seems like a nice person normally, but I didn't expect she would be this kind of person in private!"
Tang Yang's villa was not yet fully built, so the last few people had to live with Tang Meng. Hearing this, Tang Yang peeled an orange for Yuan Tian and said calmly: "If you hadn't become famous early, you would have seen her true face."
"That's true." Tang Meng sighed, "You can't judge a person by his appearance, but by his heart. The entertainment industry is really a big melting pot..."
"So you should hurry up and quit the entertainment industry," Tang Yang said. "You've won the Best Actress award, and you've gotten over your acting addiction. It's time to come back and inherit the family business."
Yuan Tian said as she tied Xiao Jing's hair, "Yes, your brother has to prepare for the connection between the netherworld and the human world, and strive to modernize the netherworld within five years, so he doesn't have much time to manage the family business.
"I know." Tang Meng curled her lips, "I'm already learning how to manage a business..."
As she was talking, she also started to tie up Xiao Jing's hair. She had coveted Xiao Gui's long hair for a long time. While Xiao Gui was obsessed with the TV series, Yuan Tian also started to do it first. She had to satisfy her desire to do it.
Well, it would be nice if Xiao Jing was a girl. She also wants to try a bun hairstyle!
"Speaking of modernizing the underworld, brother, what are you going to do?"
Yuan Tian couldn't help but look at Tang Yang. This kind of thing is easier said than done than going to the moon. You know, there is more than just a wall between the underworld and the human world, not to mention that the underworld is so backward.
"It's not difficult." Tang Yang handed half an orange to Yuan Tian, and did not forget to hand half to Tang Meng as well.
"The underworld has not been able to develop in a modern way in recent years, mainly because many scientific and technological talents have not been given the opportunity to innovate and develop after going there in the past century. The management of the underworld has been too busy in recent years and has become accustomed to the old methods, causing those talents to be idle in the underworld or in the graves waiting to be reincarnated."
"I'll compile a list of names and recruit them. Combined with the technology from my Internet technology company, I'm sure we'll find a breakthrough soon."
"It's just..." Tang Yang frowned slightly, a little troubled. "It's easy to break through technology, but it's a bit difficult to burn items like computers. Most of the paper figurines out there are difficult to communicate with spirits, so burning them may not be useful..."
Spiritual paper-cuts often require paper craftsmen to make them in a special way, with exquisite techniques, and even consume the craftsmen's spiritual power. Nowadays, there are not many paper craftsmen in the world who can really make effective paper-cuts, let alone those who need to make such sophisticated items that keep up with the times with computers.
It's not enough to just paste a layer of outer shell, the inner circuits must be detailed and it needs to be given spiritual power.
In fact, not to mention paper-made objects, even paper money may not have gold content. Some paper money does not have spirituality and is no different from waste paper after burning. Only paper money with spirituality can play its true value in the underworld.
"What's the big deal!" Yuan Tian's eyes lit up, "Have you forgotten what I used to do?"
Tang Yang looked at him hesitantly: "... Fraud?"
Xiao Jing struggled out of his wits more than in the TV series, and looked up hesitantly: "... a charlatan?"
Yuan Tian rolled his eyes at them, "I almost forgot that you knew me later than the others. But what are you looking at me with? I am a genuine Taoist priest Yinhong!"
"Grocery store?" Tang Meng was also a little hesitant, "Does it sell paper-made items?"
"Bingo!" Yuan Tian snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "One of my senior brothers taught me this. His family has a craft passed down from generation to generation, and it has a very high spiritual power after being blessed with magic. But I haven't learned the essence of it, and the paper figures I made are just okay, and the quality is not the best. Don't worry, I'll ask my senior brother to help me later. Making computers and the like is not a difficult task."
"As long as the underworld can have electricity and internet, everything will be fine."
Tang Yang's brows relaxed, "Your Kongmen Temple is really full of talented people."
"Of course not!" Yuan Tian's tail was almost wagging to the sky, "Don't you even look at whose master you are!"
"Yes, yes, our A-Yuan's master must be the best..."
"Boss, then you must remember to ask your brother to buy me a TV set that can be connected to the TV channels on Earth..."
"Brother, why don't you two ask him to burn a cell phone first? I'm afraid I won't have a cell phone to play with when I go there one day. It would be best if we could play PUBG..."
"Hey, our actress Tang also knows how to play PUBG? I haven't seen you playing it in the past two days."
"What the hell! If my agent hadn't disagreed, I would have almost become your image spokesperson! Besides, I haven't been home much these past two days, so who wants to see you two showing off your affection every day!"
"Me! I'd love to watch! But Boss, when are you two going to hit a home run? I've been waiting for a long time. Can I watch?"
…………
With the charter, things can be done with half the effort. In the human world, Tang Yang has a lot of connections. The combination of his own technology company and Tang Group can directly solve most of the technical support.
With the help of Yuan Tian, a non-staff member who always flattered his master and quickly became a well-known figure in the Taoist Association, and the support of Tang Yang's secret technique, the two of them quickly solved most of the problem of bridging the two worlds.
The only thing left is the underworld. Needless to say, Tang Yang solved it with just one sentence.
In less than two years, the underworld has begun to take on a modern look. The office area has moved into a newly built high-rise building, which is brightly lit and simple and clean. Most of the underworld officials are also equipped with mobile phones to facilitate communication at work.
The only thing that is slow is that many of the ghosts are not very receptive to modern technology. Most of them have been dead for a long time, so it will take some time for them to accept and learn new technology.
Tang Yang arranged for these underworld officials to undergo unified training for a period of time, but the learning effect of a small number of them was still not very ideal. However, they had passed the examination and had worked hard for the underworld over the years, so they could not be replaced casually, and they had a long way to go.
Compared with the past, the overall efficiency has made a qualitative leap. The heads of the Yincha who used to always think about going to the Yang world to capture dying talents and recruit them for their own use have recently stopped talking about this and are working hard to improve themselves and their subordinates' use of computers and other items.
The current development of the underworld allows them to see the possibility of working 996 in the future. No, more than 996. Perhaps in the near future, the weekends off and annual leave they long for in the human world can all be realized!
Now, they just have to wait for time and technological development.
In the past two years, Tang Yang and Yuan Tian have been very busy. While talking about love, they have not forgotten their work.
While developing the technological construction of the underworld, Tang Yang also mastered the various laws of the underworld and carried out reforms.
Yuan Tian was appointed by his master to open various social media accounts as the image spokesperson of Kongmen Temple. Who told this kid to surf 5G since he was a child and be the most idle person in the temple!
Without debt and financial pressure, this guy now doesn't even accept the Taoist Association's tasks. He spends every day hanging out with Tang Yang, which even makes Xiao Jing feel annoyed.
As a result, some sharp-eyed netizens discovered that the antique grocery store owner who had been popular on the Internet for a while seemed to have made a comeback. Under the name of "Master of Kongmen Temple", he began to surf the Internet.
This young boss is a man who is not easily affected by fame or disgrace. He closed the shop when he said he would close it, and disappeared after recording the show.
If it were someone else, so young and so good-looking, they would have already taken advantage of the momentum to make a debut or sell their persona to make money through live streaming. Who can resist money these days?
But his appearance was like a drop of water in a frying pan, which exploded and then returned to its original state. The heat faded, leaving only some legends and high-energy scenes from various programs preserved by netizens.
Therefore, netizens all agree that this person is not a person seeking fame and reputation, but a person with real talent and knowledge. His existence and ability are becoming more and more miraculous as time goes by.
On the first day when Yuan Tian debuted under the name of his master, no one cared. On the second day, Tang Meng, a retired actress, @ed him on Weibo and attached a photo to introduce him. Then there were a few netizens. Some praised his looks, some questioned his name, and there were also two or three who asked if he was the boss who had appeared on a show before.
Yuan Tian agreed after he came online. There was nothing to hide. In the future career planned for him by his master and his partner, he would not only serve as the image spokesperson of Kongmen Temple. In the future, when the technology of the underworld develops, he would also serve as the spokesperson for the underworld's cultural tourism! Covering the face or hiding the identity is meaningless.
On the third day, he stared at the platform full of question-and-answer information in a daze for a while.
"Boss, you're famous again." Xiao Jing said in amazement while chewing a cucumber. "It's a pity that you didn't make your debut."
Yuan Tian rolled his eyes at him, then resigned himself to answering a few questions. He had promised his master and senior brother that he would be a good spokesperson for Kongmen Temple. Answering questions and solving problems for netizens was the best way to gain goodwill.
[Little boss, is it true that the guy in the show was possessed by a ghost? Does he have a grudge against the ghost?]
Taoist Priest of Kongmen Temple: [Reading out the names of dishes in front of the graves of starving ghosts, what do you think?]
[Boss, I suddenly remembered something. Two years ago during the summer vacation, some strange things happened in our company. The air conditioner and lights often turned on automatically, and people saw ghosts from time to time and went to floors that didn't exist. Although it doesn't happen now, this is related to that thing, right?]
Yuan Tian couldn't help but think of Brother Tang's company. It was there that he had tricked Yu Qingfeng into being a ghost messenger.
Taoist Priest of Kongmen Temple: [It’s hot, I just think your company’s air conditioning is quite comfortable.]
[Little boss, my grandma likes to watch Tik Tok. She has been seriously ill recently and I am worried that the underworld will be very boring without Tik Tok. What do you think?]
Taoist Priest of Kongmen Temple: [Don’t worry, not only is there no sound, but there is no hand either. Let her hold on for another year or two, and she should have one.]
[Boss, my best friend has passed away. Her biggest regret was that she didn't have 10 or 8 male models. Do you think I can continue to burn her?]
Taoist Priest of Kongmen Temple: [Yes, remember to ask the paper-making master to give the male models a little penis, otherwise I’m afraid she will come to you in the middle of the night.]
…………
By the time he finished answering the questions, it was already dark.
Yuan Tian quickly picked up her cell phone and pulled Xiao Jing, who was sitting in front of the TV, to the study, where Tang Yang was working.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw two shadows inside besides Tang Yang.
One is Yu Qingfeng, and the other is naturally Mo Weian.
Both of them had some injuries on their bodies, and Mo Weian's injuries were obviously more serious, obviously he had just returned from a mission.
It is worth mentioning that Mo Weian had a chain on his feet that seemed to be there and not there, and the end of the chain disappeared into nothingness. Yuan Tian knew that it led to the depths of the underworld. The chain on Mo Weian's feet would not disappear until he had redeemed his sins. It was a shackle, but also a reminder.
Yu Qingfeng was really devoted to him, and asked to be Mo Weian's partner, accompanying him in all kinds of difficult tasks. However, because of this, Yu Qingfeng's income was much higher than that of ordinary Yincha, which made Mo Weian eat soft rice.
Seeing Xiao Jing at this moment, Mo Weian's eyes lit up and his voice was very gentle: "Xiao Jing."
Xiao Jing still didn't call him father, but just smiled at him and greeted him a little awkwardly: "You are back, did everything go well this time?"
"It went smoothly, thanks to your uncle Yu's help..."
The father and son were chatting awkwardly. On the other side, Yuan Tian picked up the various gifts piled on the table and urged, "We agreed to go home to celebrate my mother's birthday, Brother Tang, we have to hurry. It's getting dark, there will be a traffic jam soon, and my parents are waiting for us at home."
"It's okay," Tang Yang calmly said, "We can go through the underworld passage and arrive in a few minutes."
Yuan Tian paused and slapped his head: "Oh, I forgot we have a back door again!"
Tang Yang touched his head, his eyes distressed: "It's red, hit it softer next time."
"Hehe, then let's go to the underworld to pick up my master first. The old man probably forgot about his work again." Yuan Tian said embarrassedly.
"The Judge of the Underworld is quite busy. I have arranged for him to recruit an assistant. It will be easier in the future..."
"Okay then. By the way, Brother Tang, can you let someone else handle the matter of the Underworld Cultural Tourism? I just want to play it down and don't want to go to work..."
"You wish!"
"Then...then why don't you hire a few assistants for me? Hey, when did this passage become so colorful? It looks so beautiful..."
"Didn't you say we should keep up with the times? It's specially developed, so it shouldn't look too shady, right?"
"Not bad, not bad. It would be even better if there were more flowers and plants on both sides."
