Considering that Bu Liuxian was quite taboo about this train, I didn't dare to get on the train.
Who knows what we might encounter along the way?
Also, I heard that they were not allowed to get out of the car for the last few days. Last time, the two brothers Zhuge almost starved to death in the car.
But the person in front of me was the Lord of Hell after all, so I could only shirk it and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, Prince of Hell, to be honest, I am not very lucky and cannot be a train worker.
I vomit every time I take the train
I’m not afraid that if such a beautiful train is dirty, the smell will be re-infested.”
Before I could finish speaking, King Yama suddenly smiled, and then said to Yinsi who was following us:
"Make a note to him that Shen Lian will lie to me tonight
A light punishment - he will be sent to the tongue-pulling hell for thirty years after his death.
You teach him what tongue-pulling hell is."
When the Lord of Hell was speaking, Yin Si had already taken out a pen and paper to record.
Upon hearing that King Yama had sent him an errand, Yinsi immediately turned around and put away the half-written pen and paper.
After clearing his throat, he said to me:
“The Tongue Pulling Hell is the first level of the eighteen levels of hell.
It is specially punished for those ghosts after death who disrespect ghosts and gods, tell lies, and insult others.
After entering the tongue-pulling hell, you will reincarnate every three days.
On the first day, the kid used iron pliers to pick out the offender's tongue, and spent the rest of his life pulling out the tongue.
On the second day, I felt the pain of having my tongue pulled out. Every other moment, a kid would sprinkle salt into the ghost's mouth. This day, life would be worse than death.
This process lasts until the evening of the third day, when the tongue will grow back.
But on the fourth day, the tongue has to be pulled out again."
Why is it different from what is written in the novel? Daqing is not done after pulling it out once. It is reincarnated every three days and takes thirty years.
Thinking of this, I already feel a little sore and numb at the base of my tongue.
At that moment, I immediately stopped Yin Si who was about to continue writing.
Then he turned back to the Lord of Hell and said:
"Isn't this a joke?
Not talking, not laughing, not lively.
As you just said, we are all children at heart.
How come you, the King of Hell, are so old and don’t know how to joke?
I have been discussing with the Zhuge brothers for a long time, begging them to give me a place.
They are so stubborn that even though I have offered 100,000 yuan, these two brothers just won’t do it.
Now it’s finally fulfilled my wish.”
Lord Yama stared at me with a half-smile, and then said softly:
“Let’s remember the tongue-pulling hell thing for now.
As long as you are a human being, unless you are a god, you will eventually die.
The sins committed during life must always be reckoned with after death.
Baby named Shen, I’m not in a hurry, and neither are you.
Get in the car, if you talk any more, you will delay my important event."
Being called out by the Lord of Hell himself, even though he was reluctant, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on the bus.
Seeing the gilded man left on the platform, his smiling features all twisted together, I felt even more uncomfortable.
Curiosity killed the cat. If I had known this, I wouldn't have cared whether it was a train or a bicycle that sent ghosts.
But after I calmed down, I suddenly realized that it wasn’t entirely a bad thing.
At least that 100 million is saved. If I take the train, it may take ten days and a half.
When we go back, maybe Fatty Qiu will come back.
By then, with his background, Bu Liuxian probably wouldn't dare to mention that 100 million again.
After getting on the train, I discovered that there was something inside.
The train looks old-fashioned from the outside, but inside the carriage it is extremely luxurious.
When you step on aqua blue floor tiles under your feet, under the corners of athlete's foot, there will be a layer of ripples on the tile surface that look like water.
Faintly, I actually saw fish and shrimp swimming around in the floor tiles.
There are ten groups of seats on the left and right sides of the carriage, and the seats are also of various types.
Some have jade carvings on the front, and some are made of weird wood.
There is a table and chair in front of me. The wood is rotten. I can't imagine who is going to sit on such a table and chair.
The Lord of Hell was sitting in the first row near the locomotive. There was a figure sitting next to him. It was the soul of Jia Lan who was taken away last night.
Unexpectedly, King Yama would take him with him.
King Yama pointed to the seat opposite him and said to Zhuge Zhengqi and me:
"Do it here
All other positions have been decided,
Oh, the souls are starting to get on the train."
Halfway through, the fog at the platform was so thick that I couldn't even see my fingers.
Faintly, I saw a figure getting into the car in the fog.
After the figure entered the carriage, I realized that he was a teenage boy.
Maybe it's because this child has developed early, and the teenage boy is almost catching up with me.
He looks chubby and tiger-headed.
The child was wearing the uniform of an unknown school. After getting on the bus, he felt a little cramped.
The child didn't know where he should sit. After hesitating for a moment, he said to us:
"Hello uncle
They asked me to come up, but they didn’t give me a ticket, and I didn’t know where to sit.”
King Yama glanced at the child and said to him softly:
"You can sit wherever you want. There is no ticket for this train. Wherever you sit, that's your seat."
"Thank you, uncle."
After bowing, the child found a wooden seat and sat on it.
After the children sat down, the train began to move slowly.
At this time, King Yama closed his eyes and began to rest with his eyes closed.
Taking advantage of this moment, I whispered to Zhuge Zhengqi:
"Brother, I chose your Luoshen County starter, but ended up picking up a child?
This child, too, died suddenly at the age of ten?
But looking at his honest and courteous appearance, he is not arrogant at all."
The ugly Taoist priest also looked at the child, sighed, and said:
"To die violently is not to die violently.
But this child can't see any resentment. Even if he dies violently, he can be reincarnated in the underworld.
Why do you have to get in this car? It's against the rules - Donor, why are you going?"
Before Zhuge Zhengqi could finish speaking, I had already stood up and walked to the child's soul.
He said to the child who was a little dazed:
"Little brother, I'm too talkative.
Do you know that you are already dead?
I'm a little curious? Why did you die suddenly at such a young age?
Didn't look at the traffic lights when crossing the road? Was Ghost Detective killed by a car?
Still naughty and touched the switch."
The child looked up at me, then lowered his head, looked at his feet, and replied:
"Uncle, don't ask, I can't say
I know what I died of, and I know why I died.
But I can’t say it, not even to death.”
As he said this, this soul actually burst into tears.
Why does the soul also have this function?
Before I could ask any more questions, the door to the front of the car opened.
An old man with silver hair wearing a train conductor's uniform walked over from inside.
This old man was so impressive that he ignored me and Zhuge Zhengqi. Even when he saw King Yama, he only nodded slightly.
The old man walked directly to the child, glanced at the notepad in his hand, and said to the child:
"Xiao Jiajun, the ghost who died violently three years ago"
