This is a difficult task. I thought about it and decided to go over there and take a look. If I don’t run into the two brothers, I will think of other ways.
When Ma Dawen heard me ask him to lead the way, his face turned pale with fear. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Xi, it doesn't matter who you offend. If you offend the judge, you will go to hell. I don't dare to go."
"I'll burn more paper money for you later."
"No matter how much money you have, you can't spend it in hell." Ma Dawen said with a bitter face and refused to agree.
My eyes rolled and I suddenly had an idea. I smiled and said, "Da Wen, aren't you lonely in the underworld? Do you want me to introduce you to a woman as your wife?"
Ma Dawen's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this. This guy not only loves drinking, but also likes to visit brothels. However, because of these two hobbies, he is always penniless. If he had a wife, he wouldn't have to go to brothels.
He blinked, lowered his head and thought for a long time before asking me, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. I'd be a bastard to lie to you!"
"If Mr. Xi really finds me a wife, Ma Dawen will work like a slave for you and go through fire and water without frowning. You are going to find the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master, right? I will take you there right now." The boy was smiling from ear to ear, and it seemed that he was so happy that his butt was blooming.
Life in the underworld is really boring. The high streets are not for ordinary ghosts to go. A lazy guy like Ma Dawen is lucky to be able to hang out on Zhongping Street. Ghosts like them, who are of the middle and lower classes, have no other pursuits except for wine and women. Female ghosts are even worse off. They don't drink and have no entertainment activities, so some female ghosts feel lonely and want to find a companion to live with. But people and ghosts are the same. They need a matchmaker in the middle. They can't fall in love with each other at first sight.
Ma Dawen took me through several streets and walked to the street at the southernmost edge. Is this also called a street? A small dirt street with potholes, garbage everywhere, and a foul stench everywhere. I couldn't believe that the judge who was famous and frightened in the world actually lived here.
This street is empty, not a single tent can be seen, which means that everyone is afraid of the judge, and no one dares to live here. I asked in a low voice, besides the judge and the Seventh and Eighth Masters, who else lives on this street? Ma Dawen whispered to me that the chief executive and some of the underworld's high officials used to live here, but later I heard that they all moved to the street next to Gaodeng Street, where a chief executive's mansion was built, which was very spectacular. Half of the street was stationed with ghosts, and ordinary ghosts could not get close, and they had never seen what the mansion looked like.
It turns out that the Chief Executive also lived here before, but as he got in line with the system of the living world, he also learned to enjoy himself. The Judge still lives in the old place, and it seems that he is a decent ghost.
Ma Dawen pointed to a dilapidated earthen house and a small thatched house on the side and said that the judge lived in the earthen house, and the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master lived in the thatched house.
Damn, it's really run-down. I asked Ma Dawen to hide aside and walked towards the thatched cottage. When I walked to the front, the door opened and the Seventh and Eighth Masters came out. They both had big smiles on their faces and seemed to be in a good mood. I quickly greeted them: "Hello, gentlemen..."
Before I could finish, Master Qi laughed and said, "As soon as you entered Huangquan Road, we knew you were here. We were just thinking of looking for you, but you found us instead."
After Mr. Ba smiled, he said with a serious face: "First of all, we two brothers can't help you at all this time!"
What do you mean? Are you trying to shut me up first? I quickly apologized with a smile: "Seventh Master, Eighth Master, if you don't help me in the underworld, who will? I went to Yunnan again during this period of time, and my shop was destroyed, so I didn't send any gifts over. I'll ask the ghosts to bring more later."
When Master Qi heard this, his face darkened: "The underworld is currently cracking down on ***, so we two brothers dare not take any more of your things."
I was stunned. I had originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone by finding them. Not only did I want to find out Xiaoxue's background, but I also wanted to borrow their help to go back. But they refused to accept the things, which really stumped me!
The Eighth Master went on to say, "Last time, you two entered the City of the Dead without a pass, and sneaked through the exit from our class. Now the higher-ups have found out, and we can't explain ourselves. We were just about to arrest you, and chances are you're here, so come with us to report to the Ghost Pass Management Office." As he spoke there was a clattering sound, and he took out a thick black iron chain.
