But now there are only two people, Zhong Kui and Gui Cha, so these dishes are indeed a waste.
"No, no, I, Zhong Kui, have always been honest, and I will never eat or drink too much. Also, aren't you, Yang Shi, trying hard to curb your overeating, drinking, and extravagance? It's illegal for you to do this."
Zhong Kui's words made Xiao Yu stunned and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
I, a Taoist from the Yang world, was actually taught the laws of the Yang world by Zhong Kui from the Yin Division. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if this spread?
"Okay, since the master said so, then you can pick two, and I will take away the others and let them eat. What do you think?"
Now that the other party has said this, why do you insist on it?
Zhong Kui didn't look like he was joking, and Xiao Yu didn't hesitate.
"Well, that's more or less the same. You young people today must not know how to be frugal. Think about how many people starved to death during the war. At that time, the ghosts that filled the mountains and plains were pitiful!"
"So people should have a sense of crisis and not always think about pleasure."
Xiao Yu, Lao Bai, and other Taoists all stood nearby, looking like primary school students, listening humbly.
During the war years, although I have not experienced it, I can still imagine that in order to survive, people eat people, eat tree bark, and eat Guanyin soil. The land is filled with mourning and millions of rotten bones. How miserable!
Zhong Kui ordered a few dishes as he spoke, but Lao Bai quickly took them out from the side and put them aside.
"Okay, just these few, and leave the rest."
Zhong Kui waved his hand, and several Taoists around him rushed forward and took down all the meat.
The other party chose four dishes in total, three dishes and one soup, and they were well matched, one meat dish, one cold dish, and one cooked dish.
"Well, life in the Yang world is better now. When I was alive, these things were nowhere to be found. It would be nice to have a white-flour steamed bun. You will really enjoy happiness now."
Zhong Kui sat on the stool and looked at the side dishes on the table with a very satisfied expression.
"Master Zhong Kui, you can order less of this dish, but you can't drink less wine. It's a rare occasion today, how about we have a few drinks?"
Xiao Yu did not use an ordinary wine glass, but found a large bowl and poured a bowl directly for the other party.
Because in the eyes of drinkers, you can have no food, but you can’t have less wine. Using such a small cup seems too stingy to them.
"Okay, I don't mind drinking. Let's have a drink first."
Zhong Kui took a sip from a wine glass, and then said with an intoxicated look on his face, "It's a good wine, but it's still a bit inferior to what I had at that time."
Xiao Yu naturally knew what the other party meant. The wine at that time was all rice wine or fruit wine without any essence or alcohol blending, but now it is different. No matter how good the wine is, it has essence content in it.
Compared with that time, it is indeed not on the same level.
"Hehe, so the judge's era was still very happy. At least there was good wine to drink."
Xiao Yu also picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip.
"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to mention. These ghosts tonight have been here for a year, and they often enslave souls outside. I originally wanted to capture one and ask questions, but unfortunately my ability is limited. Do you two know?
"
It has been a year since the ghost village happened, because the ghost village had been here for a long time before Xiao Yu got married. If the mountain god in the back mountain hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known about it.
"They are enslaving the soul, just like when you were fighting in the upper world, you drafted strong men for the needs of the war."
Zhong Kui took a sip of wine and began to explain.
"A war? Is it a war in the underworld?"
The battle that Xiao Yu knew about was the battle between the Yin Division and the Western Hell. He didn't know anything else.
"That's not necessarily the case. Sometimes the ghost kings in the Yin Division fight for territory. It's not just the battle between the Yin Division! Whoever has more soldiers will have an advantage. The souls of the Yin Division are usually recorded on the life and death list.
records, so it is not easy to enslave them directly, they can only come to the Yang world and find the souls of those who have just died."
"You are still young here. Last time, Black and White Wuchang was near a crematorium and captured more than a thousand ghosts who did not return. They were all enslaved by a ghost general. This was a big case. The King of Hell was alarmed at that time!"
"Later, the ghost general was put in the frying pan and relegated to the realm of animals. He was slaughtered for the tenth life. It was his own fault."
One person and two ghosts, drinking and chatting at the same time, time passed like this unknowingly.
Lao Bai, Ghost Corpse and others are waiting at the village chief's house. As for the food they brought back, they haven't eaten it either. Once Zhong Kui eats to his heart's content and there is no more food, what will happen, so everyone doesn't
Dare to move.
"My dear, is that Zhong Kui? It's exactly the same as in the portrait. Am I just dreaming?"
A Taoist priest asked in disbelief after sitting there for a long time.
"But it's Zhong Kui. If it hadn't been for him today, we would all have died here. When we get back, we must pay homage to him and thank him for his rescue."
"Xiao Yu is also very powerful. If it weren't for him, we would all die here today. It seems that what is being spread outside is true. Xiao Yu is indeed not an ordinary person."
A group of Taoists began to discuss quietly in the village chief's room. As for Lao Bai and Ghost Corpse, they sat on the edge and did not speak.
The ghost corpse was originally inseparable from Xiao Yu, but when Zhong Kui came, he was no small figure, so he never dared to show up. Once Zhong Kui took him away, it would be troublesome.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Yu and the others chatted more with each other, and gradually became familiar with each other.
"Lord Zhong Kui, I would like to ask, how can you go down to this underworld? I heard that you can only go down in the form of a soul. Is this true?"
Xiao Yu had always had this plan in mind.
"Yes, it is true that you need to go down in the form of a soul, but there is another way, that is, people without yang energy, such as corpses and zombies, can also go to the underworld!"
"Because they don't have the Yang Fire, they are not afraid of the Yin wind from the Yin Division extinguishing the Yang Fire. But it is different for people. As long as you go to the Yin Division, the Yin Wind will blow out the Yang Fire. If you don't die, you will die!"
"Then why are those who walk in the underworld not afraid when they can go to the underworld?"
Xiao Yu continued to ask.
Yin walkers are people who are said to walk between the Yin and Yang worlds and specialize in making money from the dead. They are living people. Why can they go down, but they can't go down themselves?
"The Yin walkers are different. They have Yin protection documents on them, which are jointly made by the ten major Yamas. They can resist Yin energy, so they can go down. If you want to go down, you also need that thing, otherwise there is nothing you can do."
Zhong Kui was very forthright. Gui Cha probably didn't even know about these things, but he told them all.
"Then how do you get asylum documents? What procedures are required?"
"formalities?"
This time Xiao Yu seemed to have stopped Zhong Kui from questioning him, and the other party also had a confused look on his face.
"I don't know. I've never done anything like this. You can ask the shady people, they should know."
