Chapter 22
The road was winding and the three of them lined up in a long line, Luo Zhi was in front, Luo Yu was in the middle, and Wang Sanpao was behind.
When passing through an area with dense weeds, Wang Sanpao was lucky enough to step on a small green snake, which was bitten by it.
"Fuck." Wang Sanpao tightly grasped the little green snake's head, and the soft and cold snake body tightly wrapped around his entire forearm, as if fighting with him.
"You dare to bite your grandfather's thigh! I'll tear you into pieces, chew you up with my teeth, boil you in my stomach for a few days, and then finally turn you into a liquid ball and pop you out of my asshole. Hehehe, are you scared? Huh? Hahahaha..."
Luo Zhi pulled Luo Yu back a few steps and looked at the little green snake carefully.
He seldom came into contact with snakes from the underworld and rarely saw them. The one in Wang Sanpao's hand had red eyes. For some reason, it looked indescribably strange, but he had no clue what was going on and just thought that Wang Sanpao was unlucky.
The green snake seemed to understand Wang Sanpao's words. Wang Sanpao's arm, which was strangled and painful, was slowly loosening, and finally, the cold feeling gradually disappeared.
Whoosh! The Green Snake God disappeared into the bushes without anyone noticing, moving at such a speed that it seemed as if it was being controlled.
Wang Sanpao was just about to go and look through the bushes to see if he could catch it, after all, he hadn’t eaten it yet!
As soon as he fell to the ground, he was kicked in the chest by a long leg, so fast that he had no time to block it.
"Oh my god." Wang Sanpao fell to the ground, touched his injured chest, and said aggrievedly: "It bit me, and I just wanted revenge. Grandpa, why can't you even let me do this? Could it be that you and that snake are having an affair? Damn it!"
With a bang, Wang Sanpao was kicked over this time, rolled a few times, and had a brief entanglement with the fallen leaves on the ground.
Luo Zhi said in a deep voice: "I told you not to call me that. Also, if you're not dead, keep your mouth shut."
Luo Yu was a little frightened by this scene. He wanted to say something for Wang Sanpao, but when he glanced at Luo Zhi's gloomy face, he gave up.
However, this is also Wang Sanpao's own fault. For no reason, he insisted on saying "having an affair with a snake". Who wouldn't be angry after hearing this? He was furious. It was simply unreasonable. He dared to break up the couple! He deserves to be punished!
Even though he thought so, Luo Yu was still afraid that Wang Sanpao would really be skinned alive by Luo Zhi, so he came out and said awkwardly, "Luo Zhi, well, let's keep going. Don't bother with him. He's just a bad mouth, and it makes me angry just listening to him."
Luo Zhi nodded and gave up. He glanced at Wang Sanpao and said, "Get up and catch up." He turned around and continued to move forward with Luo Yu.
Wang Sanpao walked happily behind, cursing Luo Zhi in his heart, and almost cursed all of his hundreds of ancestors and descendants. It felt so good!
As they were about to leave the woods, Luo Yu remembered something he hadn't asked: "Luo Zhi, where did the gold ingots you just gave to Auntie come from?"
Luo Zhi: "Fake."
Luo Yu was shocked: "What?"
Luo Zhi: "It was transformed with spiritual power, and it will automatically disappear after a few hours. But they won't be able to find it. They will just think they lost it."
“…”
Luo Yu was speechless, but this behavior was wrong after all. He said, "Once we find the ghost and get the ghost money, we still have to return it."
Luo Zhi nodded. It didn’t matter to him whether he did it or not. In the boss lady’s mind, she had already received the money anyway.
It would be a waste of time for Luo Yu to do this, but he actually wanted to, so let him do it.
Wang Sanpao, who was listening to their conversation, couldn't help but ask, "So we're going to the Starving Ghost Territory to get money from the ghosts?"
Luo Yu said: "Yes, we have burned a lot of money for him, and now we have to go to him to get it."
Wang Sanpao shook his head as he listened. "Hey, can't we just steal some money from every household in this ghost town? If that doesn't work, we can just rob! Why take such a big risk and go there? Do you think you'll die? I...eh?"
He suddenly exclaimed: "Burning money? Isn't this something that only humans can do???"
Luo Yu choked on his saliva, and he almost exposed himself again: "Uh... No, I remembered it wrong, I went to find him to get it..."
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said, "Martial arts secret book!"
It seems that this is the only thing I can say.
"Martial arts secrets!" Wang Sanpao was so excited when he heard this that even his curly hair stood up. "Can I learn it? Don't worry, Second Grandpa. I promise that after I learn it, I won't harm ghosts. I will only defeat the Ghost King and dominate the underworld! I'll let you two be my left and right protectors!"
“…” It seems that I shouldn’t use this excuse.
Luo Yu threatened him: "Keep your voice down, if the Ghost King hears you, you're doomed."
Wang Sanpao covered his mouth, shrank his body, his eyes moved around, and he began to worry.
Luo Zhi listened to their words, shook his head helplessly, and felt quite annoyed by the two of them.
He looked at Luo Yu's legs, then looked around. Finally, he stopped beside a large dead tree and said, "We've been walking for almost half a day. Let's rest here today and continue walking tomorrow."
Luo Yu nodded. He only felt the soreness in his legs now. He had not noticed it because he had been talking all the way and his attention was distracted.
However, doesn’t Luo Zhi know how to use the teleportation array? Why didn’t it work this time?
Thinking of this, he said, "Luo Zhi, why don't we use the teleportation array this time?"
Luo Zhi said, "It consumes too much spiritual energy, and the teleportation array can't teleport that far at once." He pointed to the towering, pointed mountain ahead, "Do you see that mountain in front? That's the path we must pass tomorrow. The mountain is filled with fog and is full of poisonous creatures. I need to save my spiritual energy for tomorrow's unexpected events."
Luo Yu looked in the direction he pointed. The mountain wasn't far from where they were at the moment, about two or three kilometers away. He wondered, "Can't the teleportation array allow us to go directly through that mountain?"
Luo Zhi shook his head: "No, it's too messy inside. If you're not careful, you'll be thrown around and easily lost. But there's a mountain road that the Ghost King once dug. We can walk over it in about three days."
If he were a ghost alone, he could naturally use the teleportation array to pass through the Chishan Mountain perfectly, but now there is a naughty ghost and a living person beside him, the risk is too great, so it is safer to walk over.
In the teleportation array, if any one of them is not careful, they will get lost and be thrown around by the teleportation array. If they get lost in the mountains, even Gi, a spiritual weapon of this grade, will have difficulty finding them.
Luo Yu said, "Is it dangerous in the mountains?"
Wang Sanpao interrupted, "It's not just dangerous, there are rotten eggs inside!"
Luo Yu laughed. What rare thing was a rotten egg in the underworld? But seeing how excited he was talking about it, he probably thought it was some kind of poison. He asked, "What is it?"
Wang Sanpao scratched his head, recalling what Master Benben had said.
Half a day passed and he still couldn't remember it. He only knew that the rotten eggs in Chishan were very dangerous.
In the end, it was Luo Zhi who simply told Luo Yu the general legend of Chishan.
In the underworld, Stair Mountain is the most terrifying to ghosts, and below it are four more mountains, namely Chi Mountain, Mei Mountain, Wang Mountain, and Liang Mountain.
Among them, Chishan ranks second among the Ghost Mountains in the underworld, simply because there is a poisonous creature in Chishan that is shaped like an egg.
Legend has it that upon entering Chishan, no matter which way you circle, you'll encounter a group of rotten eggs. These eggs reside within the mountain year-round, acting in a docile and obedient manner, never venturing out to wreak havoc in the underworld. They are considered poisonous and terrifying because they possess a potent venom. Their entire round shells are encased in a web of mold, emitting a sour, pungent odor. It's said that this web of mold turns to dust and floats in the air. Looking at it or inhaling it can cause death. They are incredibly vicious and cruel.
Chishan is also a forbidden mountain in the underworld. Now Chishan has been sealed by the Ghost King, and ghosts are not allowed to enter at will.
These legends about the Chishan rotten egg herd originated from Ma Guibenben's mouth, so they can only be considered half-truths. After all, most of his words come from his burgeoning imagination and eloquent mouth, so they cannot be taken seriously. However, the existence of the rotten egg herd is indeed real.
Luo Yu nodded, roughly understanding what was going on, but not too worried, after all, Luo Zhi was there.
He walked to a big dead tree and sat down against it without caring how dirty the ground was. His eyelids were tired and he looked very exhausted.
Luo Zhi also leaned over and looked at him sideways. After a while, he asked softly, "Want to eat hot pot?"
Luo Yu suspected he had misheard. After all, where could he get hot pot here? He wasn't going to eat the grass by the roadside anyway. So he didn't reply and continued to rest.
Then Luo Zhi's voice sounded again: "Where's the rice?"
This time Luo Yu was sure he had heard correctly. He looked at Luo Zhi in confusion, then thought for a moment, rolled his eyes, and grinned wickedly, "Stew King Sanpao?"
Luo Zhi: “…”
Wang Sanpao, who was sprawled on the ground, gazing at the sky with deep affection, jumped up and quickly retreated a few meters upon hearing this. He crossed his arms and touched his chest with a wary look on his face, saying, "Are you starving? I haven't done anything bad, so how can I eat anything I want? Besides, we have rules in the underworld. Ghosts can't just eat ghosts."
Seeing how frightened he was, Luo Yu couldn't help but want to threaten him a few more times, and his fatigue gradually subsided. He said, "But I'm hungry. I can't find any other food here except you, so..."
"No, no." Wang Sanpao retreated further and further away, but his voice only grew louder. "I haven't had a shower in almost half a year! Forget eating me, if you lick me, your tongue will be corroded and rotten by the stinky mud accumulated all over my body and my skin that has been soaked in sweat all day and has become sour and smelly! Hahahaha... Are you scared? If you are scared, don't even think about me like that! I still have a good life. I haven't had a girlfriend yet!"
Luo Yu rubbed his chin, looking at Wang Sanpao's gray clothes with several large holes that exposed his skin, and thinking of his habit of stealing, he said, "It's a bit difficult."
The words were too concise and Wang Sanpao didn't understand them. He kept on guarding against them, fearing that they would be caught if they were not careful.
Luo Zhi shook his head. Seeing that the two of them had almost finished arguing, he reached into the pocket of his windbreaker and took out a box of self-heating hot pot.
Luo Yu was stunned. She looked at him, then at the natural hot pot in his hand. For a moment, she didn't know which one was an illusion, so she could only look back and forth.
Luo Zhi said, "I took it from your kitchen when I was having dinner at your house last time."
"..." So the reason you rushed to help in the kitchen last time was to get these things? Okay, I didn't expect you to be so considerate of me. You were worried that I might be hungry, but you didn't let me know and wanted to give me a surprise.
Although he thought so, Luo Yu still didn't say it out loud. He hummed and asked, "Is this the only box?"
Luo Zhi took out two more boxes from his pocket, this time one of them contained self-heating rice.
Without exception, these are all the goods Xu Xiaoxia stocked up on Double Eleven last year. Due to the great discounts, Xu Xiaoxia bought nearly five large boxes of self-heating hot pots and self-heating rice. After buying them, they have been kept in the cupboard. More than half a year has passed, and the cupboard has probably been forgotten and visited a few times for midnight snacks.
Luo Yu smiled and said, "Did you empty all the cupboards in my house?"
Luo Zhi said, "There are still two boxes left."
Luo Yu gave him a thumbs up.
That's good. He even remembered to leave a box for Xu Xiaoxia and Luo Zeping, even though they had long forgotten that these things existed in the cupboard.
Luo Yu then looked at the pocket of his windbreaker and asked curiously, "Is this called a Qiankun bag? It can hold anything."
Luo Zhi said, "Well, but it's not called that."
Luo Yu: "What's that called?"
Luo Zhi: "Dora bag."
"..." Luo Yu said: "Who gave this name?"
So advanced...
Luo Zhi said, "I."
Luo Yu's mouth twitched twice, and he suppressed a smile: "Then you are quite good at getting up."
Luo Zhi: "What do you mean?"
Luo Yu rested his chin on his knees, staring into Luo Zhi's eyes with a smile. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "He looks a lot like you. So cute."
Wang Sanpao was about to vomit: "Hehe...hahaha...uh uh...you're crazy..."
Just as he finished muttering "crazy", Luo Zhi's piercing gaze pierced him.
Wang Sanpao shook his body and rolled a few meters away to avoid being beaten by these two lunatics.
He rolled behind a tree and secretly looked at the red box in the hands of the two ghosts. He had never seen this thing before. He just heard them call it a self-heating hot pot. What was that?
Why does the name sound so weird?
Puzzled, he continued to watch them to see what they were going to do with the thing.
Turn the natural hot pot downwards to check the production date to see if it has expired.
Produced in October, due in September. One month left.
Just as he was about to tear off the plastic film, he remembered something.
They have no water.
He asked, "Luozhi, this needs water to heat up. Is there a water source nearby?"
Luo Zhi said, "Since you didn't ask, I thought you didn't need it." He put his hand into the bag again.
Luo Yu was shocked again.
This time, Luo Zhi took out a box of mineral water, brand new and unopened, 24 bottles, each 555 ml.
But he didn't have a whole box of mineral water at home. He suddenly remembered the cabbage and had a bad feeling in his heart, so he asked cautiously, "Where did it come from?"
