The ghost lady has just come to work in the underworld and is relatively unfamiliar with it. As one of the top ten underworld commanders, there are many things that are difficult to get involved in, especially regarding the demon world.
Lin Feng understood this and did not embarrass the ghost lady, so he said: "I have a troublesome sister today. I can walk the rest of the way by myself."
Hearing this, the ghost lady suddenly stood up, glanced at Lin Feng helplessly, and sighed: "As the old saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. You have arranged a job for me in the underworld. My ghost lady,
I will never forget this favor in my life, so... take this first, and if there are any problems that cannot be solved, call me again."
As she spoke, she reached out and handed out five golden coins.
He took it and took a look. On the front of the coin were engraved four incomprehensible inscriptions, and on the reverse was a ferocious-looking Taotie.
When he saw this thing for the first time, Lin Feng was confused and had no idea what it was.
Later, under the explanation of the ghost lady, Lin Feng suddenly realized.
It turns out that this special material coin is the hard currency of the underworld, one of the currencies of the Bank of Heaven and Earth, the gold-patterned underworld coin.
This is the original currency issued by the first generation of King Yama. The total amount is limited, and it will not depreciate significantly with the explosive burning of paper and money in the world. Its status is equivalent to scarce gold. Its value can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai, which has not changed for tens of thousands of years.
, except for a period of decline during the Cataclysm of the Underworld a few decades ago, but it didn't take long for the value to return to normal.
In general, the underworld currency is equivalent to a credit endorsement by the underworld for the accumulation of wealth by the creatures in the underworld. The change in its value is minimal even in the long history and can basically be ignored.
However, the exchange ratio between Ming coins and Ming banknotes is not static, and will change significantly every time.
After all, in the world of the dead, the family members of the deceased often purchase large amounts of Mingchao notes for sacrifice, but the ghosts in the underworld cannot stop the actions of mortals and can only allow the Mingchao notes to flow into the underworld on a large scale.
At first, as the currency gradually expanded, the economic system inside and outside Fengdu City was paralyzed and almost collapsed.
The first generation of King Yama, as the boss of the underworld, naturally could not sit idly by and do nothing, so he issued a series of restrictive measures. The casting of gold-patterned underworld coins was also an important bill that people talked about.
After the first batch of gold-patterned coins were issued, they were never minted again. According to Gui Niangzi’s colleagues, the total number was no more than 1.8 billion, exactly 1.8 billion coins.
As the gold-patterned coins that maintain the currency system of the underworld, a special ghostly power is injected into them at the beginning of casting, which is used to identify the authenticity of the underworld coins and cannot be cast at all.
Unless he is a god, but the reason why a god is a god is that he has long transcended the shackles of the world. Money is dispensable to him, not to mention that with King Yama watching, who would dare to forge?
"Five coins are equivalent to five trillion dollars of underworld money. It is my total income for the year in the underworld, and it can also be considered a part of my heart." After saying that, the ghost lady smiled lightly and disappeared into the Huangquan Inn without waiting for Lin Feng's reply.
.
Putting it in his pocket, Lin Feng sighed, then stood up and walked to the counter.
The innkeeper was calculating accounts at the counter, fiddling with the beads in his left hand and writing seriously with a brush in his right hand.
He was dressed in black and looked very old. He looked to be seventy or eighty years old, but his whole body was filled with a gloomy energy that was far superior to all the ghosts in the room. Even Lin Feng stood in front of him, and was filled with an invisible aura.
The power was so overwhelming that it was impossible to mobilize any mana.
Obviously, the reason why the owner of Huangquan Inn dared to open the inn in the wilderness instead of in Fengdu City was because he was not afraid of ghosts and monsters making trouble, but he was afraid that they would not dare to come.
As the distance gradually got closer, the innkeeper suddenly raised his head and said with a kind smile: "Sir, what do you need?"
At this time, Lin Feng repeated the secret code that the Ghost Lady had heard from hearsay: "Go up to the poor blue sky, go down to the underworld!"
Hearing this, the boss rolled his eyes, and the smile on his face became wider, and he replied: "I can't see either of them in the vast distance. It turned out that the guest wanted to trust me, so that I can talk easily."
Unexpectedly, in this business, everyone would be welcome, so Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I saw the innkeeper calling the waiter to watch, and he himself walked into the navy blue curtain behind him.
Lin Feng followed closely and walked in.
The back room is not very spacious, with only a small, worn-out square table in the middle and a small bench at the front and back.
At this time, the boss had already sat down, pointed to the chair opposite, and urged with a smile: "Sir, please."
"Thank you."
After sitting down, Lin Feng felt guilty and uneasy. He looked around, fearing that there were ears in the wall.
The innkeeper could see Lin Feng's thoughts at a glance. He stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Sir, you don't have to look. This room is protected by laws and no one can hear it."
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "I came to the underworld not long ago, and I just heard that you can sell any information here?"
"My enemy. As long as you are in this world, I can provide you with quite accurate information on everything except ghosts and gods. As long as you pay an equal price. What do you want to know?" The boss's tone was naturally confident, not unlike
It is eloquent.
"Since the boss is honest, I won't hide it. I want to ask about a ghost."
"who?"
"Song Yuxiu."
Hearing the name, the innkeeper closed his eyes and began to think deeply. After three minutes, he opened his eyes again and said with a smile: "This number will do."
I saw five fingers raised on his right hand.
Lin Feng asked uncertainly: "Boss, what price is this?"
"Five trillion ghost notes."
What a coincidence? It just happened to be the number in my pocket?
Lin Feng was a little confused. He very much suspected that his conversation with the ghost lady had been eavesdropped, so he offered a price that was just right and squeezed the person to death.
After all, this money is a year's salary advanced by the ghost lady, and it cannot be spent randomly. However, compared to the Twin Demon King Talisman, the latter is more important.
Although he felt a little itchy with hatred in his heart, as the saying goes, "You can't help yourself when you are in the world." This is the innkeeper's territory. If the rules are broken, he doesn't know what will happen, so Lin Feng still chooses to pay five gold-patterned ghost coins.
, and pushed it to the desktop.
The next second, the innkeeper's eyes showed a smile that was completely opposite to the one before, full of greed.
With a wave of his skinny right hand, he instantly pocketed five gold coins into his pocket. This made Lin Feng feel very distressed. The five trillion coins were just gone.
"The person you are looking for is not in the underworld, but in the demon world next door. After you pay the money, I will show you the way. As for anything that happens after leaving the underworld, it has nothing to do with me."
"Then it will be hard work."
The cooperation was reached, and the innkeeper stood up on the spot.
Pushing open the door to the backyard, an earthy-yellow river comes into view.
The river surface was glowing with light and sparkling, but there were a large number of spirit beings floating above the river bank. Their mouths were open and their faces were distorted, as if they were imprisoned in the river water.
"This is the branch of Huangquan. Please invite me, guest." At some point, there was a small boat on the river, and the innkeeper was already holding a paddle and transformed into a boatman.
Lin Feng got on the boat inexplicably and fell into a fog in an instant, unable to see any scenery in all directions.
After an unknown amount of time, when Lin Feng was taking a nap, the boat suddenly stopped. With the inertia, Lin Feng's body rushed forward, but he woke up in time.
"Here we are, here is the safest and most secluded gap. Opposite is the so-called Demon Realm. You can only walk the rest of the way by yourself."
Before he finished speaking, a brown stone was thrust into Lin Feng's hand.
When I came to my senses and turned around, the boss and the ship had long disappeared.
Looking forward, there is an arched gap below the huge barrier in front of me, with energy flowing around the edge. However, due to the huge barrier, even if the gap is not repaired for a long time, the barrier will not collapse.
Separated by a barrier less than two inches behind, one side is surrounded by the dark earth, but the situation on the other side is completely opposite.
