After the carriages of the Suppression of Evil Division passed by, the streets returned to normal.
Soon, Bian Fei brought Zhang Qingyuan to the Gongyang Pavilion.
It was a not-so-big attic located on a remote street in the inner city. It didn't seem like many ghosts came here to take money, probably because not many were burned in the world of the living.
If Zhang Qingyuan remembered correctly, before his death, the burning of paper money had been gradually banned in Daxia, which indirectly led to many of his ancestors becoming impoverished, and even the Gongyang Pavilion was deserted.
There were also ghost soldiers standing guard at the door of the Gongyang Pavilion, but it seemed that their momentum was much weaker than that of the ghost soldiers patrolling the city like Bian Fei.
"Go in, and come out after you have taken it out."Bian Fei shouted coldly.
Zhang Qingyuan did not dare to say anything more. He took out his mobile phone and quietly clicked the withdrawal button, and then entered the offering pavilion. The cold wind blew in the face. The offering pavilion was very dark and empty. Green lamps were lit on both sides of the aisle, barely illuminating the small area.
In the innermost part, you can see a huge stone tree, which looks like the kind of tree fossils that can be seen in the world of the living. There are densely packed bone tiles hanging on it, which change every once in a while. I don't know what they are used for.
Under the stone tree, there is a counter. A ghost in black official uniform is standing behind the counter. It looks like he died in middle age. His face is pale, and he is full of yin energy. His dead fish eyes seem to be bulging.
As a ghost, Zhang Qingyuan feels that he is much more beautiful than most ghosts. At least he doesn't look like a dead ghost. He still retains most of his appearance when he was alive. There is no difference except that he is less angry.
"Name? Date of birth and death……"The yinchai saw him coming in and asked expressionlessly:
"Zhang Qingyuan, birthday unknown, died in the seventh year of Daxia Shenzhao……"
As an orphan, he only knew the day he died, which was July 15, the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Shenzhao of Daxia.
That's right, he went to the ghost village to live broadcast on the day of the Zhongyuan Festival, and then he successfully reported to the underworld.
There are so many ghosts who don't know their birth year, so it's not surprising that the ghost messenger lowered his head to look for it in a booklet.
After a while, he raised his head and said expressionlessly:"Zhang Qingyuan, a person from the Qian Dynasty of Daxia, was born in Zhangjia Village at the foot of Bailong Mountain in Xingguang Prefecture, Southwest Province in the 31st year of Yuanguang, and died in Fengmen Village in the seventh year of Shenzhao.
The cause of death was a ghost asking for his life...
Is that right?"
Zhang Qingyuan was stunned... He didn't expect to find out his origins in this way, which was also an unexpected gain.
He nodded and said,"I don't know my origin, but the cause of death, place of death and time of death all match, so it should be me."
Yin Cha nodded, turned around and slapped the stone tree, and then the dominoes hanging on it changed rapidly. After a while, a domino fell from above. Zhang Qingyuan was sharp-eyed and saw his name written on it.
"The Offering Pavilion collects eight taels and four cents of money from the Yang world to offer to the Yin. Take it!"
After saying that, the Yin messenger threw a black cloth bag into Zhang Qingyuan's hand. He opened the bag and saw a few copper coins inside. The front of the copper coins were written with"Treasure of the Underworld" and the back was written with"One tael". There were a total of eight one-tael Yin coins and four one-cent coins. The styles of the two were the same, except for the size and the value on the back.
"Thank you very much!"
Zhang Qingyuan was a little excited. The rewards from Kuaishou Live Broadcast could really be turned into ghost money.
He has begun to imagine buying a house and a car in the underworld in the future, and marrying a few beautiful female ghost sisters. This life is even more chic than in the world of the living.
The most important thing is that the efficiency of the underworld is very low, and there is a backlog of countless ghosts from past dynasties waiting to be tried. Think about it from another perspective. The beauties of Daxia for thousands of years have been concentrated in the underworld. Just thinking about it makes you drool.
He hurriedly left the offering pavilion and saw Bian Fei waiting at the door. Zhang Qingyuan thought about it, took out three taels of ghost money that had not yet been warmed up and handed it over, saying:"Well, Brother Bian, this is three taels of ghost money. One tael is used to pay the fine, and the remaining two taels are just to thank you for your escort along the way and to make a friend."
More friends, more paths. This saying is also true in the underworld. He had already suffered the loss of not giving the bull head a bribe before, so he would not make the same mistake again.
Although the other party was just a ghost soldier, at the bottom of the underworld bureaucracy, he was much stronger than him, a new ghost. If he could successfully get on the ghost soldier path, he would have a chance to get a job in the future.
Bian Fei looked at the three taels of ghost money in his hand with some surprise. He obviously hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it.
"Good! Pay the fine with one tael, I'll take one tael, and I'll give the remaining one tael to the captain."
Hiss~
This is a good subordinate, he never forgets his leader even when there are benefits. Zhang Qingyuan appreciates this kind of person, and immediately took out another tael of money and handed it over, saying:"Giving one tael to the captain makes me look too stingy, I'll take another tael as a small token of my appreciation."
The pair of green eyes behind Bian Fei's helmet softened a lot, not as cold as before.
"You... are good. If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to find me at No. 3784, Outer City District B."
As expected, money talks. After a small bribe, the other party immediately said yes. Now they have established a relationship... Zhang Qingyuan was secretly happy.
On the way back, Bian Fei talked more, and from time to time he introduced some buildings and situations of Fengdu Ghost City to him. The most important thing was that he told him many taboos and regulations that should have been told to him by Niutou.
Zhang Qingyuan was sweating profusely after listening to this, and secretly cursed Niutou in his heart... This bastard actually concealed so much from him, and it was obvious that he was trying to trick him.
For example, the blood moon daytime ban is the most basic rule, and there are dozens of other taboos, big and small, and each one is much more serious than the daytime ban on going out.
""Um, brother Bian Fei, can I ask how to become a ghost soldier in the underworld... I think the evil suppression officers are very powerful, and all ghosts have to make way for them." Zhang Qingyuan asked curiously.
Bian Fei glanced at him and said lightly:"You want to ask how to get a position?"
Zhang Qingyuan nodded frantically
"It's very simple, just spend money.
Five taels for ghost soldiers, ten taels for ghost messengers, and twenty taels for ghost messengers.
These are the prices for the most basic ones affiliated with the ten ghost marshals.
The more expensive ones are directly under the six officials of the Ten Hells, namely the Samsara Department, the Judge's Department, and the Underworld Department.
The Samsara Department does not recruit people, only Meng Po.
The Underworld Department is run by the City God, and only people who have been canonized as gods in the human world can go there.
The remaining yamen under the Judge's Department each start at fifty taels.
"
"The Judge's Office is divided into the Department of Rewarding Good, the Department of Suppressing Evil, the Department of Investigation and the Department of Yin Law. The Department of Suppressing Evil is the most expensive, and you can buy a basic clerk position for 70 taels. The remaining three departments are cheaper, only 50 taels of Yin money."
Zhang Qingyuan:"……"
"Um... why is the Suppression of Evil Division twenty taels more expensive?" He was puzzled.
Bian Fei looked around and lowered his voice and said,"Do you know who the chief of the Suppression of Evil Division is?"
"The Suppression of Evil Department... isn't it Zhong Kui?"
Bian Fei nodded and continued in a low voice:"Master Zhong Kui's origin is not simple.
He was appointed by the Heavenly Master's Mansion in the Heavenly Court, worshipped by the people on earth, and canonized by the Imperial Court.
He was also granted a Taoist title and can directly reach the Heavenly Court.
Although it is a small government office in the underworld, it is in name only in the Heavenly Court.
The Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Yama Kings dare not easily provoke it.
Moreover, it is the only government office that has the authority to travel freely between the Yin and Yang worlds.
Seventy taels of Yin money can enter such a department.
Although it is ridiculously expensive, it is also worth it.
"
"Seventy taels...is it expensive?" Zhang Qingyuan was a little unfamiliar with the price system in the underworld.
