Chapter 284: Hiding the Hungry Ghost After this neat and grand wedding procession appeared, many ghosts appeared in the town listening to the ghost music. They ran straight towards the snow-white sedan chair without touching the ground. These ghosts did not dare to get too close to the sedan chair, but stopped around it. They did not dare to take another step, as if there was an invisible wall blocking them. A rough count revealed that there were more than a thousand ghosts surrounding the sedan chair. Every ghost was trying hard to squeeze forward, but they dared not go beyond the line. This results in the ghosts in the front pushing back and the ghosts in the back pushing forward. Some ghosts seem to be broken through the mold under this backlog and overlap with other ghosts. It looks extremely weird, but it is normal in the underworld. Just by looking at the wedding scene, you can tell that the bride or the groom who never shows up is definitely not an ordinary ghost. Because at the end of this wedding procession, there are eight ghost messengers in charge of holding the fort, they are serious "civil servants" blessed by the dark energy of the underworld. From this we can see that either someone in the bride's family is an official in the underworld, and a high-ranking one at that, or the groom himself is a ghost fairy. Of course, it is also possible that it is both.
"Mr. Zhang, the Underworld God, is getting married, spreading blessings!" Standing next to the sedan chair were two matchmakers in festive attire, each holding a flower basket. They were shouting and scattering the contents of the baskets around. The objects that were scattered were small black knife coins, only the size of two melon seeds, but there were quite a lot of them, causing the ghosts surrounding them to scramble for them. The underworld naturally has its own monetary system. Just as there are gold, silver and copper coins in the human world with clear values, the same is true in the underworld. The most valuable currency is called "spiritual money", which is the kind that is being circulated now. Spiritual money has a function that other money does not have, and that is to replenish the spirituality of ghosts. An ordinary ghost may not be able to save up ten spiritual coins even if he works diligently for a hundred years, and this is when you have a special skill. What is being scattered before your eyes are all spiritual money. Just grab a handful from the basket and you will get an amount that most ghosts will never get in their entire lifetime. But no one dared to have any bad thoughts, and no one even dared to fight too fiercely. Jiang Lin saw a few burly and spiritual ghosts, but because they were standing in a bad position, they couldn't snatch the attention from other ghosts. So he could only glare at them fiercely. As for waiting until we leave here to rob? That would also be disrespectful to Mr. Zhang. In this kind of situation, it's better to be safe than sorry. No one dares to take the risk. For most ghosts active in the underworld, an ordinary ghost messenger in the underworld is already a very important figure. In this world, strength and status complement each other. It is simpler than the human world, but not too simple. "Underworld Lord?" Jiang Lin scratched his chin. Although he didn’t know much about the underworld, he still knew the basics. This so-called Underworld Department is a relatively unique department. Its responsibilities only include matters related to the underworld and nothing related to the world of the living, because this department is not in charge of ghosts but of the underworld. To put it bluntly, it is the Ministry of Land and Resources of the underworld. From this we can see how rich this government office is, and the so-called Mr. Zhang, even if he is just a small chief of the Underworld, can explain this behavior of "throwing money".
Nothing else, just rich. Even if this wealth is for the underworld. Jiang Lin thought to himself without moving his feet. He just watched silently as the wedding procession slowly walked towards his direction. As they got closer, Jiang Lin's expression changed and his eyes became more serious. The ghosts that had gathered around them slowly dispersed after snatching some spiritual money. It is good to share a little bit of the noble person's joy, but if you are greedy, it is not a good thing. Jiang Lin stood beside the archway, passing by the wedding procession, and looked like an ordinary kid. "then!" At this time, one of the matchmakers took out a handful of spirit money from the basket and threw it to Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin took it with his backhand and bowed with a smile. "Alas, such a handsome boy, if he were in the world of the living, I don't know how many matchmakers would trample on his doorstep. It's a pity that he died at such a young age." The matchmaker sighed, shook her head regretfully, and continued to follow the wedding procession. Jiang Lin looked at the dozen or so spiritual coins in his hand and put them away with a look of both laughter and tears. Does this count as making money by using my face? Thinking in his mind, he crushed the handful of spiritual money in his hand, turning it into a wisp of pure spirituality, and threw it casually at the little ghost who was sitting on the stone outside the archway. Seeing that the little ghost's eyes brightened up, Jiang Lin stepped into the town. Following the wedding procession from a distance, Jiang Lin also heard something. Although this town is not big, it is only a mere 13,000 miles away from the gates of hell, definitely the "second ring of the underworld". At the same time, this town is also the hometown of Mr. Zhang who is getting married. In the next three days, the Zhang residence will hold a buffet. Just say a word and you can come and have a free meal. The blood food here is not something weird, but real, good stuff offered by the human world. In offering sacrifices to ancestral gods, besides incense, the most important offerings are the three kinds of livestock and six kinds of animals. These things are the so-called blood food. It is undoubtedly a "good product" in the underworld. Jiang Lin also sneaked in to join the banquet, but he also followed the etiquette. It was precisely because of the gift that Jiang Lin could sit in the manor of the Zhang family mansion. The ghosts sitting at his table were all very spiritual and obviously had some property in the underworld. Now they are waiting to toast the groom. Those sitting outside will not get their turn for the moment. Those in the main hall are the real big shots. So the ghosts also started chatting. "I heard that Mr. Zhang's wife is the real eldest daughter of the Underworld."
"Could it be the daughter of Lord Underworld Chief?" "Of course, it is said that this young lady is also a genius in the way of ghosts. In just three hundred years, she has already become a ghost fairy. Our Lord Zhang has picked up a great bargain." Jiang Lin was listening quietly, when suddenly someone next to him spoke to him. "This young man looks unfamiliar. I wonder where he works?" A woman in her thirties with a charming face and wearing a bright red gauze dress was supporting her chin with the back of her hand. She was holding a small cup between her slender fingers and was slowly turning it around. A pair of fox eyes that seemed to be able to speak looked at Jiang Lin beside him. If such a handsome boy was from this area, there was no way she had not heard of him. Ghosts also have desires. As soon as these words were spoken, the other ghosts at the table also looked at Jiang Lin with some curiosity in their eyes. You can tell from the demeanor of this guy in black that he is not an ordinary ghost. Jiang Lin smiled and said, "I am here to curry favor with the groom. I am currently working in the Retribution Department of the Underworld. I don't want to climb up the ladder, so I want to be transferred to the Underworld Department to make money." When these words were spoken, all the ghosts were stunned. That's true, but... isn't it a bit too straightforward? The young woman in red also smiled in surprise and said reluctantly, "Young man is really...quick." As he spoke, his attitude became much more formal, and he stopped looking at her in a seductive way. Those who work in the underworld, especially those who hold a position of official in the underworld, even if they are just the captain of a squad of five ghost messengers, are not people they can afford to offend. Compared with the underworld, the size of the underworld is just a sesame seed on a watermelon, but 90% of the power of the entire underworld is concentrated in this sesame seed. Although the other ghosts wanted to chat, what this young man just said really made them afraid to do so. Jiang Lin still had a smiling face and looked harmless. The young woman in red stared at Jiang Lin secretly and greedily for a long time. Finally, she couldn't help it, so she drained the wine in the glass and smiled at Jiang Lin again. "Dare you ask me your name?" "I am... Jiang Qi." The young woman in red smiled and said, "Qi in the sense of the blessing of all people?" Jiang Lin shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "The 'Qi' in the Qilu, there are countless people who have gone astray in this vast three realms. I am somewhat determined and don't want to go astray." The young woman in red was stunned for a moment and didn't dare to speak anymore. Everyone here was a smart human being when they were alive, and they will be smart ghosts after they die. The two sentences said by this young man Jiang are more terrifying than the last. The Department of Fruit and Retribution? I'm afraid it's the Criminal Investigation Department... The ghosts couldn't help but look towards the bustling hall of Zhang's mansion, and vaguely saw the figure of Lord Zhang, the underworld god, who was today's groom. Some people who can't sit still have already started to quietly move their butts, feeling that something bad will happen today...
Gradually, the bustle in the hall spread outside, and Lord Zhang, with a flushed face, walked out with square steps, the wine glass in his hand swaying. Obviously, he was very happy. He could not be unhappy to marry the daughter of the Underworld Chief, his boss's boss. When he is in a good mood, he becomes generous. In previous gatherings, he could toast all the guests in the yard with just a wave of his hand. This time, he also prepared toasts for every table. Of course, the guests are toasting themselves. Mr. Zhang was thinking in his heart, and when he saw the young woman in red through his drunken eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. This woman was a famous courtesan when she was alive, and after her death, she became his canary. Although the relationship will have to end after today, they still have feelings for each other for all these years. Of course, there is no debt. Without his support, it would be impossible for a weak woman to have a fortune worth ten thousand spiritual coins. "It is my great honor to have you all come to the banquet." When Mr. Zhang walked over, the guests at the next table all stood up, but the guests at the table in front of him were still sitting. This scene made Lord Zhang narrow his eyes and feel angry. Since when did a group of little devils who depended on me for survival dare to sit in front of me? and many more…… Mr. Zhang saw a figure dressed in black from behind. He looked very strange and he seemed not to know him. The body of the young woman in red was stiff, and Lord Zhang could only see her back, but she could see the profile of the young man Jiang. She didn't know when, that pair of Brother Jiang's eyes had turned into pure darkness. Just one look at him made her feel like she was falling into an icy cave, and she dared not move at all. The same goes for the other ghosts. "Who is this gentleman?" Lord Zhang narrowed his eyes and sobered up a little. He had a feeling that something was wrong. "An uninvited guest." Jiang Lin turned around with a smile and looked at Lord Zhang, still smiling. ‘Dang Cang…’ The wine glass in Lord Zhang's hand fell to the ground. He stared blankly at the pair of completely dark eyes. His legs and feet trembled unconsciously. Even the extremely stable soul body that belonged only to ghost immortals was already disintegrating. Others didn't know, but he had worked in the underworld for a thousand years, so he knew a little about what he should and shouldn't know. Although he had only heard of it, he still recognized it at a glance. Fengdu Dharma Eye... 'thump! ’ Lord Zhang knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to speak, but just kowtowed continuously. Soon, the exquisite and neat bluestone floor tiles were turned into a mess. This sudden scene surprised all the guests, but they didn't dare to say a word and just watched quietly out of the corner of their eyes. "say."
Jiang Lin spoke with a smile. "Your subordinate... No! I... the guilty official..." Master Zhang trembled and changed his self-proclaimed name several times, and finally said tremblingly: "I took advantage of my position to embezzle more than 53 million spiritual money. This crime is unforgivable. Please die!" He knew very well that in front of the being who possessed the Fengdu Dharma Eye and the being who was so powerful in the entire underworld, he had no room for negotiation. Confessing your guilt is the most satisfying thing you can do to yourself. If the other party had not spoken, he would have committed suicide here long ago. "You are corrupt, and it is the Imperial Envoy who is in charge of this matter. That is not what I am asking." Jiang Lin smiled and shook his head, stood up, looked down at Lord Zhang on the ground, and his tone suddenly became cold. This means that what Jiang Lin is going to ask next is in the identity of the Black Law Mage. "Let your wife come out." Upon hearing this, Lord Zhang was subconsciously stunned, then he hurriedly stood up and crawled into the back hall. Then, he ran back like a gust of wind, but with a woman in wedding dress in his hand. He dragged her forcefully in front of Jiang Lin, threw her to the ground, and continued to kneel down and tremble. At this moment, there is nothing to worry about. If his wife is named by the Black Law Mage, no, I am afraid that even if she is brought to his father-in-law's place, she will not be able to stop! Dead! If he is just a chief of the underworld, he is definitely not worthy of the service of the black law wizard Bai Longyu! The daughter of the Underworld Chief had not yet come to her senses when she suddenly heard a whistling sound. A six-hole demon with three wings, a green face and fangs appeared in front of her. Before the young lady could feel fear, a ghost claw had already landed on her head. Almost in an instant, this eldest daughter of the Underworld Lord, who had some respect in the underworld, had her body refined into a ghost fairy, and all her spiritual consciousness and spirit were devoured by the Six-Hole Demon. This was a clean and extremely terrifying scene for ghosts, and it happened in the blink of an eye. Feng Lixiao didn't care about that. He closed his eyes, with a look of enjoyment on his ferocious face. Such pure ghost fairy is the best food. Of course, Feng Lixiao did not dare to forget his business. He devoured and digested everything from this unknown young lady as quickly as possible and then opened his eyes. He turned around, half-knelt in front of Jiang Lin, and said in a deep voice: "Master, I found it." Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes, said nothing, turned around and left. Before leaving, he took one more look at Mr. Zhang. Seeing this, Feng Lixiao also hurriedly stood up, but in the midst of his busy schedule, he stretched out his claws to grab Lord Zhang's head, and dragged this "big shot" to catch up with Jiang Lin's pace. All the ghosts in the house were silent as a cicada, some were so frightened that their bodies collapsed and they didn't even dare to look. Outside the town, Feng Lixiao was dragging Lord Zhang. On his other ghost claw was a ball of pitch-black ghost energy, which belonged to the original energy of the eldest lady of the Underworld. Feng Lixiao handed it to Jiang Lin carefully. Jiang Lin took it casually, exerted force with his hands, and crushed the ball of original energy. 'laugh……' The original ghost energy that should have collapsed completely, but after the shell was crushed, it suddenly burst into hideous spikes, like a sea urchin.
Faced with this extremely ferocious aura, Jiang Lin remained unmoved and just clenched his hands. Suddenly, this ferocious aura collapsed, completely exposing the most core thing. A scarlet ghost head, but no bigger than the belly of a little finger. On the extremely ferocious face, the largest part is a mouth, which almost divides the entire ghost head into two. Although it is small, the sharp teeth are clearly visible. It is clearly just a small head, but it gives people a weird feeling that it will never be filled. "Master, this is the energy of the hungry ghost realm." Feng Lixiao's voice became much more serious. He was not a fool and naturally knew what this meant. Jiang Lin looked at the little ghost head in his hand, moved, and walked straight towards the direction of the underworld. "Feng Lixiao, take my decree and send it to Fengdu. Send out twelve rampant gods to seal off the Hades. No one is allowed to escape." Jiang Lin's voice was indifferent, but Feng Lixiao could hear a strong murderous aura. "Follow the law!" Feng Lixiao quickly agreed, and the three wings behind him spread out, turning into a dark magic light and heading straight towards the underworld. As for Jiang Lin, he did not follow. Instead, he moved and directly used the Black Law Mage Token to sense Fengdu and open a portal. One step forward and you are already in the core area of Fengdu City. That is where the Taoist temple of Emperor Fengdu is located. As soon as he stood firm, Jiang Lin bowed. "Your subordinate, I would like to see General Jiuyuan Shatong." (End of this chapter)
