The old Taoist put down his wine glass silently.
Lawyer An immediately poured Zhou Ze another glass.
Zhou Ze picked up the wine glass.
To be honest,
He was not in the mood to talk or tell stories at the moment. He was a little tired and wanted to rest. He could only say some general words to appease the troops:
"The Bodhisattva is gone. We can take a break for now."
After that,
Raise your glass,
Took a sip.
immediately,
Zhou Ze stood up and said to Lawyer An:
"Let's prepare to buy tickets for tomorrow. Let's go back."
After saying that, Boss Zhou left the room. Yingying should have already cleaned the bathtub and filled it with water.
After giving everyone a reassurance, the boss went to rest, and everyone in the bookstore looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Everyone go back and pack up. The boss is tired now, so we won't have dinner tonight. I have to go back later to help the boss with the discharge procedures. There is still an advance payment that has not been withdrawn from the hospital."
Everyone nodded and left the room one by one. Although they felt that Zhou Ze was too depressed, after all, the opponent he was facing was a Bodhisattva, and he must be exhausted both physically and mentally after dealing with him.
I'll go back tomorrow, but at least tonight I can have a good night's sleep.
After all, even if they were not fighting on the front line, the thought that their opponents on the front line were Bodhisattvas made them feel very heavy during this period of time.
In the house,
The only ones left were Old Zhang who was still drinking in the corner, the old Taoist priest, and Lawyer An who had not left yet.
The old Taoist silently picked up the wine glass again and took a big sip.
Lawyer An sighed, picked up the red wine bottle and poured another glass for the old Taoist priest, and said with emotion:
"Master, thank you for your hard work."
The old Taoist said nothing and continued drinking.
Lawyer An turned around with the red wine bottle in his hand and looked at Old Zhang in the corner and asked:
"Would you like something red to go with it?"
Old Zhang burped and glared at Lawyer An unhappily.
Lawyer An smiled and didn't take it seriously. To them, it was just the loss of a friend, and the bookstore lost a political correctness.
But for Old Zhang, he lost a direct descendant, and he really needs some time to lick his wounds.
However, Lawyer An took out his cell phone, shook it at Old Zhang, and said:
"By the way, when your grief is over, tell me and I will tell you good news."
Old Zhang took another sip of wine. With his small body, drinking so much liquor was really a waste of his health. But when he thought that it was a corpse he had taken from the morgue, and the original owner had probably been reincarnated long ago, he didn't care.
In this world, it is indeed hard to find a three-legged frog, but two-legged people are everywhere.
"What news?"
"I'll tell you when you recover."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid you'll be overwhelmed with sadness and joy all at once, and something might go wrong."
"What the hell is going on!"
Old Zhang asked while he was drunk.
Lawyer An was not annoyed. He stretched and said:
"You've seen Xiaofeng's wife, right? She's pregnant."
“… … ” Old Zhang.
"You don't have their contact information, but I do. Xiaofeng sent a message on WeChat Moments saying that he's going to be a father."
"Really? Really?"
Old Zhang crawled over immediately, and it was obvious how excited he was.
"Really, we've checked everything out and it shows she's pregnant. When we get back tomorrow, you can find a way to check it out yourself.
Well, you lost your eldest grandson, but now you have a great-great-grandson. It's not a big loss no matter how you think about it. Anyway, the job you have now allows you to stay in the world of the living often and visit them from time to time.
You can even find the body of a poor child who died young when your great-great-grandson goes to kindergarten, and have him go to kindergarten with you. If any kid dares to bully him, you can help him beat him back! "
Although what Lawyer An said sounded strange and more like a joke to him, Old Zhang couldn't help but feel happy after hearing it.
"Yes, yes."
Although we have lost our eldest grandson, it would be great to raise a next generation. It would be best if this newborn child could escape the fate of the Zhang family.
"In the future, when the child is born, he will definitely be fine with my protection and guidance, hehe."
"Come on, who do you think you are? His grandfather is watching him from heaven."
"That's right, that's right, Ah Feng in heaven will bless him, yes, that's enough, I have the next generation now, and there's no need for me to do anything big in the bookstore anyway.
After a while, I will go back to the underworld to handle the handover. Even if I cannot be promoted again, or even if I am demoted to a judge and become an inspector again, as long as I can stay in the human world and accompany my children, I will be satisfied. "
Old Zhang has passed away, and the bookstore feels embarrassed to let him continue to contribute.
Moreover, Old Zhang's character, or the character of the Zhang family is basically like this, they tend to be indifferent to so-called fame, wealth and power. Otherwise, this family would not have been glorious from Old Zhang onwards, generation after generation. In a group photo of the male family members, there are more uniforms on the chairs than people.
“That won’t do!”
Lawyer An took a sip of wine and scolded directly.
Old Zhang was stunned for a moment, "It's my own business, why not?"
"Old Zhang, you can't decide what to do when you are in the underworld. Now that you have reached this position, you have to do your best. I don't ask you to be famous and glorious, but at least, being loyal to your duties is the bottom line, right?"
"What?"
“Without the underworld, there is no such system passed down by the lineage of the Lord of the Mansion.
You have already been reincarnated, so how could you have the leisure time to think about enjoying your grandchildren across so many generations
What's this
This is the underworld.
This is the Lord of the House.
This is after the first Lord of the Prefecture cleaned up the chaos in Hell.
The blessing it brings us!"
“… … ” Old Zhang.
Old Zhang instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"Old Zhang, you have to understand one thing."
"What's the reason?"
“When drinking water, remember the well digger!!!”
“Uh…” Old Zhang.
"As human beings, no, whether we are human beings or ghosts, we must live up to our conscience. Do you think this is right?"
"right."
"What's right? Are you true to your conscience?"
"I… … "
"Now you only want to enjoy your grandchildren, do your job half-heartedly, rest, be happy, slack off, and be lazy. But look, is it time for you to rest and indulge yourself?"
"The Bodhisattva is gone, isn't the library good now?"
Old Zhang didn’t understand. Did Lawyer An take the wrong medicine today
"Bookhouse? Bookhouse? Yes, the bookhouse is our home, but the bookhouse is just a small home!
Xiaojia is comforted for now, but shouldn’t we look further ahead? "
"long?"
"Yes, long term!"
Lawyer An suddenly stood up and walked to the window sill.
Outside,
It's the sea.
At this time, the sea became the best background color.
Lawyer An pointed in the direction of the sea.
He said with great force:
“Now, it’s not like you don’t know what hell is like!
In the early years, the Ten Kings of Hell were negligent in their duties, resulting in the entire underworld being filled with a bunch of useless people who were just doing nothing but working for a living!
The people below are only concerned with making ghost money, while the people above are living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and the order of yin and yang is only for show.
In fact, there are leaks everywhere!"
“Uh…” Old Zhang.
“Now, it’s even funnier, a bunch of eunuchs have come to power, stirring up hell even more, employing people based on their looks, judging people by their appearance!
Do you know,
Old Zhang,
Every night before going to sleep,
As long as I think of the chaos in hell now, and the suffering of the countless souls in hell,
My heart,
It hurts!
The pain was so severe that I couldn’t sleep at all!”
"You are not... because the little boy is not here..."
"but!"
Lawyer An shouted, interrupting Old Zhang's words.
"But can we just give in because of this
No,
No,
No,
no way!
They will give in, they will admit defeat, they will go with the flow!
But I can't rest.
no way!
My heart is always towards Mount Tai!
For the sake of official positions and luck, they can be servile and fawning when the Ten Kings of Hell come to power, and regard the thief as their father;
But I can’t afford to be at peace, it will never be like this!
But I hate it. I hate that I am alone and my words are not taken seriously. I hate that I am incapable. After I stood up to resist, I ended up like this, a criminal with an innocent body. "
"You are not because of love..."
"Yes, and it is my love for Hell, my love for Hades, my love for Tarzan, that has brought me to this state!"
“… … ” Old Zhang.
"I am useless now, I am just a nobody, I want to do it, I have passion, I have anger, but I can't do it.
But you do, Old Zhang!
You are the judge now, you have the power to do something for Hell!"
"No, I'm not happy. Today, you..."
“I see hope today!
The Bodhisattva is gone.
The huge mountain pressing down on our heads is finally gone!
I see the hope of hell's liberation, I see the day when hell will usher in light!
I'm excited, I'm proud, my blood is boiling!
Old Zhang, promise me that now is not the time to slack off. Please continue to stick to your post. I believe that the darkness before us is short-lived and the dawn of victory is about to appear!
At this time, you must hold on. You must know that there are not many loyal ministers and generals left.
I hate it, I hate that I am just a criminal, a commoner, I hate it, I hate why I am not the judge, I hate why I am not the King of Hell now, I hate why I am not the King of Equality!
If I were, I would never let the underworld fall to this level!"
"What Liming? Look at our boss. He is so lazy. How could he..."
"The future of Hell, the fundamental problem of Hell right now, is that the orthodoxy is gone. There is only one way to solve this problem, and that is to let the lineage of the Lord of the Mansion come back and let the majestic Mount Tai shine again!
Do you know, Old Zhang
From the moment I became a ghost messenger,
In my heart,
Just have a dream.
This dream,
Call,
"Support Mount Tai!"
