Chapter 96 The Escaped Ghost
That night, I was a little hungry after picking up the car, so I went to his place to eat noodles.
It was already very late, and I was the only one in the store, eating noodles and chatting with him casually, when suddenly a gloomy cold air rushed in from outside the door.
I subconsciously looked back and then froze.
I saw two people in black clothes walking in, but they looked like they were floating, and their feet didn't touch the ground at all.
The two men had gloomy faces and wore high hats. They didn't say anything when they entered and sat down at a table against the wall.
Aunt Tang glanced at me, got up and went to the kitchen.
After a while, two bowls of noodles were brought over and placed in front of the two people.
Then he patted me on the shoulder and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Just eat your noodles honestly."
I didn't dare to ask any more questions, so I lowered my head and ate the noodles.
When I finished eating the noodles and looked up again, the two people had left, but the noodles on the table hadn't moved at all, they were just cold.
From that day on, I realized that Aunt Tang was a noodle shop owner who didn’t drink Meng Po soup, but in fact, her noodle shop even served undercover customers.
That's right, the two guests that night were just a mix-up.
I have heard about it since I was a child, but that was the first time I saw it.
We should not talk about this kind of thing too much, let alone talk about it outside. Aunt Tang and I knew it very well, and no one had mentioned it since that day.
Some time later, I just sent someone away that day to read divination and made thirty yuan.
This fortune teller is here to ask about work, because he has been unhappy at work recently and has troubles at home, which makes him depressed and irritable every day.
I checked the time of his birthday and after lighting the incense, I told him that his fortune had been low recently and that there was nothing else going on, as long as he passed these two months, he would be fine.
But one thing is, be careful with your words during these two months to avoid damaging your money.
This was just an ordinary hexagram. After the calculation, he put down the money and left, but I could tell that he didn't believe it.
I didn't take it seriously. Believe it or not, he had to give me thirty yuan anyway.
Just as this person left, Aunt Tang suddenly came.
I was very puzzled, so I asked him why he was here. Isn't the store open at noon?
He said to me with a serious face: "Something happened. I will be closed for the next two days. I came here to ask for your help."
From the look on his face, I felt that this was something serious.
After sitting down, he told me the truth.
He said that in fact, his store is a post station in the underworld in the human world, and there are often mysterious things happening in the past.
Those undercover ghosts would sometimes bring detained ghosts with them. If they got tired from walking halfway, they would eat a bowl of noodles at his place before leaving.
Of course, only Yin Chai can eat this noodle, not those souls.
Last night, someone had a meal at his place, bringing with him a ghost who had just died. As a result, the ghost ran away before the meal was finished.
The two ghosts hurriedly looked for it, but couldn't find it anywhere. The ghost seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Aunt Tang said that this incident happened in his shop, so he was also responsible. Now the superiors have given a time limit and ordered the two shady agents to find the person within three days and bring him back to the underworld.
Otherwise, not only will the sinner be punished, but Aunt Tang will also have to follow suit.
So, he came to ask me for help, because he knew that there were many people in my hall, so we all worked together to help find it, hoping that it would be bigger.
I frowned when I heard it, because this matter is not easy to get involved in. It involves the affairs of the underworld, and even if the Immortal comes out, he generally cannot interfere.
I asked him why he didn't find other masters. I was just a newcomer and had no experience. There were many famous masters.
He shook his head and said to me: "Those things about those undercover people eating in my restaurant are confidential and cannot be told to anyone. But you bumped into me that day, so I can only find you. Moreover, this matter is even considered
If I look for others, they may not be able to help me, but you must help me."
I asked him: "Why do I have to help you? Although I often go to your place to eat noodles, I give money every time..."
He smiled at me: "It's not a matter of whether you give me money or not, but you carry this mission with you. Don't you know that only those who receive the mission from the underworld will be followed by the protector gods of the underworld?"
The protector gods of the underworld, I know he is talking about the five protector gods, but I don’t have any mission.
Seeing that I was a little confused, he added: "It seems that you haven't officially accepted the mission yet. Let me tell you, you have five guardian gods of the underworld, which can also be understood as the underworld's Yin generals. In fact, you are a ghost with good moral principles."
Immortal, anything like this must have a very strong fate in the underworld. If something happens in the underworld now, who will help me if you don’t help me? Moreover, this kind of thing is extremely meritorious and can only be encountered. If you don’t believe it, you can burn incense now.
, ask your underworld immortal."
He kept talking for a long time, and I felt like he was encouraging me to help him.
But what he said is right, I do have five protectors of the underworld in me.
And he is also the only one who can see that there is an underworld protector in me.
So I lit up the incense and planned to ask the immortal family if I wanted to help him with this matter.
As a result, the message returned home from the Xian family was: not only must I help, but I must help to the end, because this is the first task given to me by the old Taizu.
Under my questioning, the Xian family simply made it clear to me: Old Taizu has chosen you to work for him in the world and accumulate merit.
If I do well, it will benefit me greatly.
Because by helping the underworld to do things, not only will I not be responsible for bad karma, but some of these merits will be recorded on me. When the merits are completed, I will not have to capture my brother Ma to be the king of monuments in a hundred years.
I couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that I was afraid of not being reincarnated, so this was indeed a good thing.
I agreed to help Aunt Tang without saying a word, and then he also invited the two undercover agents and told me what happened in detail.
Two undercover agents told me that the ghost who escaped last night was named Zhang Junhao. He was an idle guy who had no job and relied on deceit and abduction to make a living.
A few days ago, he did something inhumane. He defrauded someone of a large amount of money. In order to destroy the evidence, he even burned down the person's house.
None of the three members of the family in the house escaped, and they were burned alive.
As a result, retribution came within a few days. Zhang Junhao hit a guardrail on the highway and overturned the car. He suffered a big hole in his head and fractures all over his body. He lay in the hospital for several days, but finally he could not be saved and died.
Logically speaking, this kind of death is considered a sudden death, and the underworld will not accept it.
But Zhang Junhao's death was caused by cause and effect, and was different from ordinary violent deaths, so the underworld wanted to take him away and go down to face trial.
But at this juncture, he actually ran away while Yin was having dinner.
After listening to Yin Zai's story, I was also very angry. Such a person really didn't want to die, but he was allowed to escape successfully, and even Yin Zai couldn't be found.
