On the way home after finishing the meal, Xiao Qi drove the car at a low speed. Shi Ying asked the question she wanted to ask just now: "Are monks very powerful?"
Xiao Qi snorted in disgust, and Wu Jiu said calmly next to him: "The overall situation is not good. Those with orthodox inheritance are okay, but half of them are friendly exchanges with the underworld. Sometimes the local government will even send some new underworld agents to talk to them.
The young children are exchange students.”
Shi Ying was surprised: "Let a living person experience being a shady person?"
Xiaoqi came up and nodded and said: "Generally, they will not be given out to work in the field. At most, they will do clerical work and understand how the underworld works. Such people will be enshrined after they return and become family heads or elders, so generally
They will choose their high-ranking children or those with outstanding talents."
Shi Ying can understand that things are rare and valuable. For a person who has gone to the underworld to work, others will not care what kind of job he is working. Going to the underworld is scarce enough, and no one knows whether he has been around in the underworld.
If you are an acquaintance, no smart person will treat this kind of person badly.
For a large family, the existence of such a person is also a certification of the family's strength. Maybe one day they can ask for two cents from the underworld and save the family from fire and water.
"Do we have any requirements for the selection of Yinzai? And the Yinzai who are sent to be exchange students, are they selected or designated?" Shi Ying continued to ask curiously.
Speaking of this topic, Wu Jiu smiled slightly and said: "The jobs in the underworld have been basically saturated after so many years. Unless there is a large-scale population migration in the earth, we will allocate the jobs in the underworld according to the population after the migration.
, I don’t know much about other positions, but I understand Wu Chang fairly well.”
"The one thing that makes Impermanence's requirements different from other Yinsha is..."
Shi Ying rushed to answer: "You want two people to be a pair and have perfect tacit understanding?"
Xiao Qi answered with a smile: "Yes, it is required that the two people die at the same time and place, and the cause of death is the same, and they are familiar with each other, and have a high degree of tacit understanding. In other words, it is often said in the world that they died in the same year, the same month, the same day, and have a close relationship.
"
Shi Ying suddenly nodded: "That's how the Huaxuan Huanian brothers and sisters are. They were brother and sister when they were alive. They died in the same accident. After death, they can still be together as brothers and sisters and colleagues."
In fact, the same is true for Xiao Qi and Wu Jiu in front of me. It's just that it's hard to say it outright in front of others. They are not biological brothers, but because their families have a very good relationship and have known each other since childhood, their closeness is no different from that of biological brothers.
The cause of their death is said to be that Wu Jiu died under the bridge due to heavy rain and rising water. Xiao Qi was so sad that Wu Jiu died waiting for her and hanged from a bridge pillar. In fact, strictly speaking, the cause of death and the time of death are different, but
The King of Hell felt that the two of them had a deep friendship and righteousness, so he ordered them to do black and white impermanence, so that they would no longer suffer the pain of reincarnation and serve the underworld.
"There is also a position for Mrs. Meng," Xiao Qi said mysteriously: "Mother Meng wanders around the outer city every day and doesn't care about her shop. Unlike us, we still have endless tasks to complete every day."
Shi Ying showed surprise at the right time: "Oh? Then she doesn't have to watch the store?"
"Hasn't she recruited a lot of girls with the surname Meng over the years? I would say Meng Po Gang is the easiest one. You don't have to travel back and forth between the Yin and Yang Realms like us. You only need to make soup in the store. And now the equipment can be automated.
They can just watch it in the store."
Wujiu joked: "I asked you to make soup and you couldn't sit still. You'll know how hard it is when you try it. It's boring to keep you for a long time and you have to cry and shout to come back to collect your soul."
Xiao Qi chuckled, but did not refute.
Shi Ying also joked: "Do you have to be named Meng to make soup? Doesn't that mean that all Meng Po Gang are Meng family members?"
Xiao Qi took out his white bone stick, pretended to be a feather fan and shook it gently in front of his chest a few times. He shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Young people don't understand history. Master Qi, I will tell you about it right now."
Shi Ying cupped her hands and bowed: "Seventh Master, please speak. I am all ears."
Wu Jiu shook his head and helplessly watched the two of them playing tricks.
Xiaoqi: "Everyone in the world knows about Meng Jiangnu, but few know that Meng Jiangnu is the second Po Meng in the position of Po Meng."
"Isn't this also named Meng?" Shi Ying said.
"No, no," Xiao Qi pretended to wave her "fan" and said, "Meng Jiangnu's surname is actually Jiang in the background of the Qin Dynasty. Meng is her rank, and Meng Jiangnu is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family."
"The historical legend that Meng Jiangnu cried down the Great Wall for her husband Fan Xiliang is also a rumor fallacy. "Zuo Zhuan" records that she was the wife of Qi Liang, a general of Qi State. Qi Liang died in battle and returned home. The King of Qizhuang sent people to express condolences in the suburbs. Qi Liang's wife believed that
His hasty behavior lacked respect for the martyrs, and he rejected people who came to express condolences. He was considered a righteous and strong woman."
Shi Ying had never heard of this period of history. She had only heard the story of Fan Xiliang's death in labor service and the story of Meng Jiangnu crying down the Great Wall. Seeing that Xiao Qi started to get interested in the middle of the story, she hurriedly said: "Then what? How did it turn into Meng Jiangnu crying?
From the Great Wall?”
Xiaoqi shook her "fan" and said: "Zengzi added a sentence in the Book of Rites, 'When Qi Liang died, his wife welcomed his coffin on the road and cried with sorrow.' It was this added sentence of 'crying with sorrow'
' This set the tone for crying. Later generations took Qiliang's wife as a model for crying husbands."
Shi Ying listened carefully: "Hmm, what about the Great Wall?"
"Liu Xiang's "Shuo Yuan" in the Western Han Dynasty added the plot of crying for the city, 'In the past during the Hua Zhou Dynasty, Qiliang died in the battle. His wife mourned him and cried to the city. The corner collapsed and the city was in misfortune.' Later generations
I kept adding to and changing this story, and by the Tang Dynasty it was basically the story you know now about Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall."
"Meng Po needed an assistant, so she recruited Qiliang's wife after her death. Later, because of the fallacy of the legend, and in order to be consistent with the name Meng Po, she followed the legend and called her Meng Jiang."
"Actually, the name is just a title. We thousand-year-old ghosts don't care much about these things. The name is just a name for one life. He will be called Zhang San in this life and Li Si in the next life. Is there any difference? As long as the soul does not change,
The rest are just meaningless additions.”
Xiaoqi ended the popular science about Meng Jiangnu with a philosophical statement. Shi Ying was deeply convinced and kept nodding in agreement.
Shi Ying originally wanted to ask what a cultivator is and how to deal with a cultivator who strays into the wrong path, but she is told a bunch of shady selection requirements and stories about Po Meng's successor.
When she thought about the question she wanted to ask at the beginning, she was quite dumbfounded. Xiao Qi was really good at chatting. He could easily take her away from the topic she originally wanted to ask, and she could not even notice it, and even listened with gusto.
"We're here, we've worked hard today, let's go to bed early." Wujiu took the lead and stopped. After finishing speaking, he suddenly frowned, as if something unexpected happened.
Xiao Qi asked with concern: "What happened?"
Wu Jiu shook his head: "I was going to cancel the marks of those four people just now, but I couldn't sense them anymore."
Xiao Qi: "Perhaps Judge Lu erased it and replaced it with his own? Didn't Judge Cui say that we don't have to worry about it? They can just handle it."
Wu Jiu nodded and said no more.
Shi Ying stood at the door of the small foreign building. After seeing them finish speaking, she said goodbye to them: "You guys should also go to bed early." Then she took two steps back and watched the Wuchang team leave.
As for what they said about the disappearance of the mark, she didn't think it was the fault of the judge. There was another possibility. The four survivors had completed the system tasks and were sent out of the dungeon, so the mark could not be sensed.
But it was impossible for her to express such speculation, so she simply said goodbye and did not participate in the discussion.
When they were out of sight, Shi Ying turned around and was met with an expressionless grimace.
