I also sighed. It seemed that asking the ten kings to destroy the Tianli Sect, save the world, and maintain the peace of the universe would not work. I watched the ghost officials count the number of people and get on the carriages one after another. I asked Liu Peng, "Are you only sending ghosts here?"
Liu Peng saw the ghost officials getting on the train, then he turned to look at me and said, "Well, this road leads to the Yellow Springs Road. We ghost officials are only responsible for sending the ghosts here. The rest of the way will be up to the ghosts to walk on their own. What are you going to do now? How about you go back with me and stay for a few more days before figuring out a solution? I've moved to a bigger house now, and we haven't seen each other for such a long time, so come back with me for a few drinks..." As he spoke, Liu Peng took my left hand and prepared to pull me onto the train.
I actually really wanted to leave with Liu Peng, right? Who knows what we'll encounter once we get to the underworld? After all, this is where people reincarnate. But after thinking about it, I sighed and said to Liu Peng, "Okay, Lao Liu, go back and live a good life with Sister Wan'er. I have something else to do this time, so there's no rush for drinking. Anyway, I'll be back to accompany you in a few decades at most."
"Yeah, you have a lot of things to do, hey." Liu Peng couldn't help showing a lonely look on his face after hearing what I said. After all, he was unfamiliar with the underworld. Maybe he had a few ghost friends because of some social activities, but they were probably not close friends. Maybe they were just superficial social interactions. Usually, he was with Sister Wan'er, so naturally he wanted to get together with my friends in the human world more often. "
"Don't say such things. I'm going to say it again. A few decades at most. Maybe I'll come down to accompany you in a few months. You should make a good living. It would be best if I could be a high-ranking official when I come down. Then you can arrange a job for me." It's the end of September in the human world now. We'll go to the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor in November. The Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor is full of dangers. Do you think it's a joke? I don't know when I'll die in the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor.
Liu Peng patted my shoulder with a reluctant look in his eyes. He said, "Live well, kid. I hope you can come back to accompany me in two or three hundred years."
"I wish I could stay here with you forever." I laughed and scolded, but then smiled bitterly and said, "But how is that possible? Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature. How can I go against them?"
Liu Peng hugged me and got on the train, then waved at me through the window. The train slowly started to move.
Unexpectedly, when the train started, the ghosts around started crying and shouting, as if they thought the ghost had abandoned them. Many of them wanted to climb onto the train, but as soon as they got close to the train, they were sucked under the wheels and crushed to death.
After more than a dozen ghosts died, the other ghosts were no longer stupid. They slowly recovered their memories of the world of the living. Although they all had panic-stricken faces, fortunately they did not continue to do anything out of line.
"How is this possible? How could I die? I just won 5 million, how could I get into a car accident?"
"Fuck him, Wang San actually betrayed me and let me be hacked to death..."
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's time for an old person to send off a young person..."
"How could I die? The fortune teller said I could live to 99, but I died at the age of 23. This is unscientific."
Some people even sang loudly: "I really want to live another 500 years..."
There was a lot of noise all around, with countless people cursing indignantly. Among these people were business elites, gangster bosses, college students who had studied hard for more than ten years and were just looking for jobs, beggars who starved to death, and fat and big-eared businessmen. Looking at these people, I couldn't help but sigh. Life is short, and no matter how glorious you were during your lifetime, you will be the same after death.
"Boss, come and have a cigarette."
Just when I was pretending to be depressed, I heard the voice of a middle-aged man. I looked to the side and saw a man standing next to me in tattered clothes. Of course, all the ghosts here are like this. He was just wearing a white tattered clothes, but his face looked very shrewd, with two small mustaches, and he looked like a profiteer.
The man handed me a cigarette and said, "This is issued by Tiandi Tobacco. My wife just made it for me. Leader, have one."
"Hey, what do you call me leader?" I subconsciously took the cigarette, smelled it, and there was a faint fragrance. I put the cigarette to my lips, and then thought about it in my mind, and the cigarette lit up by itself.
Deng Zhonghua smiled slyly and said to me flatteringly: "My name is Deng Zhonghua. You can tell from your appearance that I have a great aura. I just died. Am I here to ask you what to do now?"
At this time, I also discovered the difference between me and these ghosts. These ghosts were all dressed in rags, but I was wearing white casual clothes. Although it was also pure white, it was clean. At first glance, I could tell that I was not the same kind of person as them. Deng Zhonghua should be a person with good vision in real life. He saw me at a glance, and also saw me chatting with the two ghost officials. He immediately knew that I must be extraordinary. After Liu Peng left, he came to chat with me.
"You are quite different from other ghosts." I pointed at the ghosts who were cursing or crying, and Deng Zhonghua said, "I was a ghost in the underworld before I died. I know a little bit about fortune telling and physiognomy. I can tell at a glance that you leaders are different. I asked the ghost messenger about the specific situation of the underworld on the train. Besides, you are handsome and have a righteous look between your eyebrows. You are born to be a handsome man. If you want to get into the officialdom in the human world, you can at least be a governor. If you get into the army, you can be a general for fun. And you are born with a beautiful woman, so you deserve to have many women and good fortune..."
During the time I was talking to Deng Zhonghua, I also finished smoking this cigarette. I have to say, the cigarette this guy smoked tasted really good, and it did not contain substances such as nicotine, so it was not harmful to the body.
"Are you trying to flatter me?" I asked, glaring at Deng Zhonghua. When Deng Zhonghua saw me glaring at him, he immediately said with a bit of a sense of guilt, "No, no, I'm telling the truth, leader, please understand."
"Not bad, not bad, you're right, I like it, keep flattering." Damn, I understand why so many people like to be flattered in real life. It feels really good to be flattered. You are a piece of trash in real life, but someone calls you a treasure. How can you not be happy? I think most people will be happy, and only a very small number of psychopaths will sneer at flattery.
