Kikai

Coming out of Mingshu Pavilion, Yu Qi encountered the "evening peak" of the underworld, and the four Qinguang Streets were crowded with ghosts leaving the city.

"Girl?"

"Hey, girl!"

It wasn't until he was caught that Yu Qi realized that there was a ghost calling him.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the Granny Liu whom I had met in the supplies before.

"Mother-in-law?"

Granny Liu responded with a smile: "Go back to the Snail House Stone?"

"Well, I accidentally walked around a bit late. I didn't expect it to be so crowded. I guess I won't be able to go back until very late."

Granny Liu pulled Yuqi on and walked against the group of ghosts: "Go, go with Granny, let's go out to the Pojiao Gate."

Yu Qi obediently followed Granny Liu, and within half an hour they reached the so-called broken corner door.

Hidden behind a dilapidated checkered shop, it is very concealed, and sitting next to it is a middle-aged ghost who is counting money.

It is said to be a door, but it is actually a big hole in a corner of the city wall, which is triangular in shape and can barely accommodate a head.

"Zhang Er, get out of the city." Granny Liu called out to the middle-aged ghost familiarly.

"Okay, mother-in-law is late again today?" The middle-aged ghost named Zhang Er looked around, saw that no ghost had noticed this side, and then took out a big iron ring.

"Girl, don't be afraid, sweeping this ring will temporarily disperse the soul, and then you will follow the mother-in-law through the broken corner door. The ghostly aura of the underworld is strong, and the ghost body will condense again in half an hour." Granny Liu patted the fish to pray asked with his hand.

That Zhang Eryi was not happy when he heard that: "Hey! Mother-in-law, I only promise you to go out, not the extra ghosts."

"Look at your picky look, I don't know how Ya'er fell in love with you." Granny Liu cursed.

Zhang Er didn't care, so he laughed a few times, but still didn't let go.

"This is my great-granddaughter. Just let her go. I'll pay for her."

Yu Qi just wanted to take out merit points to pay by himself, but Zhang Er refused: "It's not about money, I can only send out ten ghosts a day with this soul-dispersing ring, and there are only two left. As for me, I have to go back, Ya'er is waiting for me at home."

Yu Qi didn't want to embarrass others, so he could line up and go out by himself: "Mother-in-law, how about..."

Granny Liu pressed her hand to signal her to stop talking, and then she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Then why don't you give up the last spot to my little granddaughter, and I'll move Ya'er's suit forward for you , I made it ahead of time, and if it’s not suitable, I can help to change it.”

Zhang Er's eyes lit up: "Are you serious? Oh, Ya'er has been reading for several days, and I'm afraid that there will be problems with her clothes."

"You agree?"

"I agree, I agree, how can I not give my mother-in-law face, come, come, I will take you out." Zhang Er waved with a smile.

"Girl, let's go." Granny Liu took Yu Qi a step forward, nodding secretly in her heart, sure enough she saw him right, he was a loving wife.

Zhang Er held them up with the soul-dispersing ring, and after passing through the soul-dispersing ring, Granny Liu's ghost gradually became transparent and dispersed into a ball of spiritual power, and easily shrank out from the broken corner door.

But Yuqi didn't respond at all, and just stood there firmly.

"Huh?" The middle-aged ghost scanned again, but Yu Qi still didn't lose his soul.

"Is it because I just arrived in the underworld?"

"It shouldn't be." The middle-aged ghost asked after pondering for a while, "Girl, do you have any protective charms on you?"

After saying this, Yu Qi immediately remembered that Shuang Lang gave her an amulet just now, that thin necklace called Huyou.

After taking off the protection, she finally succeeded in being scattered.

Going out from the broken corner door is a rocky cave.

Granny Liu led Yuqi out.

On the way, Yuqi was still a little embarrassed: "Thank you mother-in-law, in fact, I can queue up to go out."

But Granny Liu shook her head: "Do you know about the Chenxi ban? If you fail to return to the Snail House Stone in time after leaving Qin Guangji, you will be arrested, and what's worse is that you fail to leave the city in time. It's really troublesome."

"what happened?"

"You don't know that this Qin Guangji used to be a soul-devouring formation, and the ghosts staying in the inner circle after dawn will be swallowed by the soul-devouring formation."

"The uncle..."

Granny Liu waved her hand: "He will definitely be able to get out of the city. There are many ways to Zhang Er, and he was from the demon race before he was alive. He seems to be a bird. Anyway, he has wings. He doesn't have to squeeze with other ghosts when he leaves Qin Guangji. Fly right back."

"How are you? Are you still used to being in the underworld?" After a brief explanation, Granny Liu changed the subject and started chatting about other things.

After learning that Yu Qi was worried about work, Granny Liu gave her an idea: "Girl, what skills do you know?"

"I know how to put on makeup, but no makeup shop will accept me."

Granny Liu nodded knowingly: "Qin Guangji is managed by King Qin Guang and King Samsara. The two kings of ghosts are demon souls, so most of the good shops are only rented to demon souls, and the bosses of those demon souls have If we follow everything, we look down on our human souls, but fortunately our human race also has a ghost king, so we can barely rent some lattice shops."

"Are there many ghost kings? I seem to have only heard of King Yama."

"Yes, there are ten of them in total, but none of them are human souls. Only a thousand years ago, a human soul inherited the throne in the Palace of Yama, and the life of our human souls got better."

Yuqi nodded thoughtfully.

Granny Liu stopped talking about the ghost king, and brought the topic back to the main topic: "Girl, my shop doesn't usually do much business, why don't you come to my place and set up a makeup booth?"

It's not bad to be a small boss by yourself, and I really need it, so Yu Qi no longer rejects Granny Liu's kindness: "Thank you, Granny!"

The old and the young chatted, and unknowingly came to a dilapidated housing area. They said it was a housing area, but many houses here were just a few stones put up randomly, and they could barely live in it.

"Grandmother, what is that place?"

Granny Liu sighed: "Hey, Scavengers Cliff. Snail House Stone can only live for free for three years, and will start collecting rent after three years. Many ghosts don't care about the first three years or can't earn merit points. We were able to move out of the Snail House Stone, but because of the disappearance of ghosts, many ghosts don’t want to be reincarnated, so they can only stay in front of the Scavengers Cliff.”

Yu Qi's heart rang an alarm: "Snail House Stone needs to charge rent? Does mother-in-law know how much it is?"

Granny Liu recalled: "I started renting relatively early. At that time, it was still [-] merit points a month. With more and more ghosts in the underworld, it should be [-] merit points a month now."

Ten thousand...a month? !

The already poor families are even worse.

"Hey! Mother-in-law!"

In the distance, a girl in yellow clothes with a basin happily waved at them.

"Hey, Ya'er." Granny Liu responded with a smile.

The girl named Ya'er passed the basin in her hand to the companions beside her, and ran towards them quickly.

"Grandma, how are you doing recently? You are in good health. I haven't seen you for a few days. Granny is younger again."

Granny Liu smiled and said to Yu Qi: "When I need help with something, her little mouth is so sweet."

Ya'er took Granny Liu's hand and said coquettishly: "Where is it, I have always cared about Granny."

"It's alright, alright, don't get bored." Granny Liu stroked Ya'er's head kindly, and trimmed her hair.

Ya'er looked at Yu Qi with a smile and asked, "Mother-in-law, who is this girl?"

girl?Looks like an ancient ghost.

Yu Qi didn't know how they met in ancient times, so he bowed slightly restrained: "Hello, my name is Yu Qi."

"Did you belong to the fish family?"

Yu Qi was momentarily at a loss for words: "..." Does she look like a fish?

"No, this girl is also a human soul." After speaking, Granny Liu took out a tightly wrapped square package from the ghost mirror.

As soon as Ya'er saw this thing, his eyes lit up immediately, and he didn't bother to ask Yu Qi if he belonged to the Yu clan.

"Your new wedding dress, I actually made it a long time ago. I guess it's almost 40 or [-] years ago." Granny Liu spoke with a hint of sadness.

"Grandma..." Ya'er's eyes were red. Three or forty years ago, she was still learning embroidery from Granny Liu.

At that time, she was really unwilling and humiliated because of her death, so she was bored at home all day. Apart from embroidery or embroidery, she was not willing to contact other ghosts at all. .

It wasn't until she met Zhang Er that she gradually walked out of the shadow of death.

"Go back and try it out. If there's anything you don't like, feel free to ask your mother-in-law to change it." Grandma Liu couldn't help but her eyes were red.

"I like it, I definitely like what my mother-in-law made!" Ya'er hugged the wedding dress tightly in her arms.

Granny Liu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "The wedding dress must be very satisfactory in order to live a happy life in the future. You can't just do it casually. I kept it on and didn't tell you before. In fact, I was worried about that guy Zhang Er, but Seeing that you are doing well now, and that he really treats you sincerely, mother-in-law is relieved."

"Thank you, thank you mother-in-law, I..."

What Ya'er wanted to say, Granny Liu waved her hand: "Okay, fine, it's almost dawn, you go back first, if you have anything to say, come to the house on the day you get married and say, Granny will personally send you off to get married."

"Okay." After Ya'er agreed, watching them leave, she still blushed and invited Yu Qi to attend her wedding ceremony.

After walking a certain distance, Yu Qi asked hesitantly: "Mother-in-law, is sister Ya'er married to the uncle who sent us out just now?"

Granny Liu nodded, and then added: "I know they are a little older, but what is there to worry about after going through life and death? It's not easy to meet someone who is close, girl, and mother-in-law can see Come on, you are so young, don't..."

Yu Qi shook his head quickly: "No, no, I don't have any opinions on them. It's a good thing to meet someone who treats me well. I'm just curious, can you get married in hell?"

"Yes, haven't you heard of ghost marriage? One is that the living family decides to marry the ghost and the living soul. This is a mourning ceremony. The other is that Ya'er and Zhang Er fall in love after death. Yes, this is a wedding gift."

Congratulations...

Yu Qi, who returned to Snail House Stone, lay on the bed and couldn't sleep.

In fact, not only did she not have any opinion on Ya'er and Zhang Er during the day, but she even envied them very much. How nice it is to meet someone who treats her sincerely after death.

After living for more than 20 years, Yu Qi also had a relationship once, but he always felt that there was something wrong with it, and it ended in a hurry in the end.

A wedding gift... Will she have one in the future?

"Dawn has arrived, all ghosts return to their place. Dawn has arrived, all ghosts return to their place..."

With the chiming sound of the morning light, Zhang Er just arrived at home.

Ya'er hurriedly stepped forward to pat him because he was flying too fast and accidentally bumped into a clod of dirt on his body: "Why did you come back, what happened on the way?"

"Yes, something good happened." Zhang Er happily pulled Ya'er to sit down, "Didn't you still talk about your new wedding dress a few days ago?"

Ya'er blushed slightly: "The clothes..."

"The mother-in-law agreed to make the clothes ahead of time, are you happy? Let me tell you, today was originally..."

After talking about the matter with Ya'er, Zhang Er smiled as if he had picked up a big treasure: "I just tried my best to get back as soon as possible, but I exchanged such a good thing for you. It's worth it."

Seeing Zhang Er smiling like a fool, Ya'er's eyes turned red, and she reached out to wipe the dust off his face.

She suddenly understood why her mother-in-law was willing to give her the new wedding dress in advance: "Zhang Er, it's really worth it to meet you after Li Ya'er dies."
