I open a bookstore in the human world

In the end, Song Lan took Xie Daonian to the underworld because of Xia Lan's words.

Before they were about to leave, Xia Lan arrived unexpectedly. Song Lan was hugging Xie Daonian for the final farewell. When he raised his head, he happened to meet the lazy eyes leaning against the door. He was shocked immediately. Pushing Xie Daonian away without a trace, clearing his throat, he smiled and said, "Long time no see, Boss Xia."

For more than a year, the relationship between Xie and Song has not deliberately concealed from others, but they have not made it clear either. Li Gui's clerk is somewhat clear in his heart, and occasionally discusses it in private.Although Xia Lan was not one of them, she had guessed a bit since she was always paying attention to the Shadow Bookstore. She was not surprised by this, and it could even be said that she had expected it.

Seeing Song Lan's unnatural look, Xia Lan still smiled lazily, pretending not to have seen the scene just now, and said, "Boss Song wants to go back?"

Song Lan knew that the other party meant going back to the underworld, and she didn't want to hide it, so she nodded honestly: "Yes, I have something to do when I go back."

"Oh——" Xia Lan lengthened the ending, glanced at Xie Daonian's face unconsciously, leaned in a more comfortable position, and raised her chin at Song Lan, "Why, are you saying goodbye?"

Song Lan frowned: Why does he feel that this Senior Xia seems to be trying to find something to say, maybe she has something to say?

"Boss Xia, is there anything else?" Song Lan asked patiently.Originally, he didn't spend much time with Xie Daonian, but Xia Lan was still delaying time, which really made him unhappy.

"It's nothing, but I'm in a good mood today, and I want to give you a suggestion." Xia Lan smiled lazily and Yuxi, and nodded Xie Daonian with jade-like fingers, but looked at Song Lan, "If you want to go back and get If you want to know something, I suggest you bring him with you, maybe there will be unexpected surprises."

After saying that, before Song Lan could react, Xia Lan turned around and walked away.

Song Lan and Xie Daonian looked at each other, and in a moment, Song Lan said with a sour voice, "What does she mean by that?"

Xie Daonian glanced thoughtfully at the direction where Xia Lan was going away, with a slight smile on his lips: "I think, maybe she knows something inside."

Song Lan thought about it, and felt that it made sense: This Xia Lan has a high position and strength, maybe she really knows something inside that she doesn't know, since she said so, why don't she follow what she said?

Song Lan looked at Xie Daonian and said uncertainly, "How about you go back with me?"

Xie Daonian smiled brightly: "Okay."

"But I have to say in advance that if I find you feel unwell, I will send you back immediately." Song Lan thought about it and was still not at ease, so she added.

"As you order, my Lord Ghost Messenger." With a smile in his voice, Xie Daonian put his arms around Song Lan's shoulders and leaned closer to his ear.

***

"Passing the Yin-Yang Road, the gate of hell is closed not far ahead." Song Lan introduced Xie Daonian like a master, and saw that he was carefully looking at the bright red flowers blooming on both sides of the path, her eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly added, "That's Manjushahua, you mustn't stare at it for a long time, or you will be fascinated."

"It doesn't seem to be the same as the Manjushahua in the human world." Xie Daonian looked back, his eyes were clear and clear, and he didn't seem to be affected at all.

Song Lan was relieved and explained: "Naturally it's different. This flower of hell was originally a product of the underworld, but it was brought to the human world by someone later. After so long, it has already mutated."

"Things in the underworld are different from those in the human world. There may be dangers hidden everywhere. You must be careful." Song Lan told Xie Daonian. After thinking about it, she still felt uneasy, so she simply took Xie Daonian's hand, clasped her fingers tightly, and A rope was created to tie the two wrists, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "This way we shouldn't get lost."

Xie Daonian glanced at the long black rope tied between their wrists, and suddenly said, "Can this be replaced with a red one?"

"Huh?" Song Lan didn't understand, "It's ok, but why change the color?"

"Because..." Xie Daonian smiled coquettishly, even more beautiful than the flames of hell on both sides of the road. He turned his head slightly, leaned close to Song Lan's ear, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Because, look at it this way." It looks more like the red line of Yuelao."

With a "teng", Song Lan turned red from her forehead to the base of her neck, glared at the man who flirted with him when she didn't agree, turned her head, and let out a soft "hum" from her nose.

The smile on the corners of Xie Daonian's lips was even thicker, with a breezy and elegant demeanor.

Song Lan looked at it secretly from the corner of her eye, and was a little dazed for a while, the tip of her throat rolled up and down, and she couldn't help thinking: It's too foul to laugh like this!

Probably because the atmosphere between the two of them was too pink, even God couldn't bear to disturb them, and the two came to the gate of hell without incident.

"Strange," Song Lan whispered to Xie Daonian quietly while queuing up to enter the customs, "You actually passed the Yin-Yang Dao so smoothly, how is it, do you feel unwell?"

Xie Daonian shook his head and asked, "Is it difficult to pass the yin and yang way?"

"This Yin-Yang Road is the only way to the underworld, and it is also the first checkpoint." Song Lan looked at him with a strange expression, "Didn't you just notice that there are many bones piled up on both sides of the road? Those are all outsiders Most of them, except for a few with high strength, died on this road."

"Do you know why those manjusawa on the roadside grow so well? Let me tell you, they are all irrigated by flesh and blood." Song Lan was terrified, "So you have been staring at those flowers just now and almost scared to death. You were also bewitched."

"Those flowers?" Xie Daonian raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't think there's anything strange about it."

What else did Song Lan want to say, but the two of them had already lined up in front of the gate, and the ghost guards stretched out their hands to Song Lan: "A pass order."

Song Lan took out a piece of paper and handed it to the ghost soldier. The ghost soldier glanced casually and raised his hand to let him go: "Pass."

After entering the ghost gate, Song Lan breathed a sigh of relief: "At least I passed the gate smoothly."

Xie Daonian was puzzled: "Is this difficult?"

"Do you think you have succeeded if you have passed the Yin-Yang Dao?" Song Lan gave Xie Daonian a serious look, "After passing the Yin-Yang Dao, there are ghost gates, Wangchuan water... Only if you pass these smoothly, can you truly arrive Hell. So why do you think I don't want you to come with me? Because this road is really dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life here!"

"I was a little worried about whether you would be able to pass the ghost gate smoothly, because my name was the only one on the pass. You are considered a foreigner, not a ghost. I didn't expect the ghost soldier to let go. It's really lucky." Song Lan shot With his chest in his hands, his mood was a little unstable.

Xie Daonian stretched out his free hand, gently slid down Song Lan's head, and comforted him in a soft voice: "Okay, okay, didn't I make it through smoothly? Maybe Xia Lan is right, God is destined You should take me to hell."

Song Lan was not very emotional: "Maybe."

The journey was surprisingly smooth, there were no ghost soldiers who interrogated them, and no accidents happened. It seemed that no one doubted Xie Daonian's identity, so the two arrived at the city in the center of the underworld: Fengdu.

Fengdu City was different from what Xie Daonian had imagined. Originally, he thought he would see a ghost town filled with spooky air and wind gusts, and even the air smelled of decay and blood, but he did not expect to see such a scene in front of him——

Passing through the quaint city wall, the first thing that catches the eye is a straight and wide asphalt road, with different shapes of vehicles driving at high speed on the road, and there is even a ghost like a traffic policeman standing in the middle of the intersection. , is directing traffic.There are row upon row of high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, with various styles, such as Gothic, Roman, Chinese, Japanese, American, and French... everything is colorful and all-inclusive.

This is not like a hell, but more like a magical post-modern city!

"Hey, a little surprised?" Song Lan smirked and touched Xie Daonian's arm with his shoulder. "I was stupid when I first came here. I thought it was just a dream."

Xie Daonian was quick to respond, he quickly came back to his senses, and nodded slightly: "It's a little...unexpected."

"Actually, the difference between the underworld and the human world is not as big as you think." Song Lan led Xie Daonian towards a place that looked like a bus station platform, and introduced as he walked, "There is also Internet access, WiFi, and government agencies here." , the ghosts living here are just like ordinary people, they need to work, study, and take exams."

After a while, the bus came. The shape was similar to the bus in the human world. It was also the same as the front door and the rear door, but it could not be paid electronically.

"Of course, compared with the human world, some places are still relatively backward." Song Lan stuffed two Ming coins into the coin box kindly, and pouted, "For example, there is no Ali|Alipay in the underworld. I’ve really been in the human world for a long time, and I’m not used to using cash all of a sudden.”

The bus stopped at a platform named "City Hall". Song Lan signaled Xie Daonian: "Let's go, we're here."

There were a lot of people getting off at this stop, Xie Daonian accidentally touched the hand of the young female ghost who had been painted red lips and her face was as white as paper, causing the other party to scream: "What is so hot?!"

For a moment, all eyes fell on Xie Daonian's face.

"What are you looking at?" Song Lan frowned, quickly pulled Xie Daonian out of the car, walked quickly for tens of meters, turned a corner, and then stopped, feeling lingering fear: "Fortunately, I walked fast, otherwise I would be surrounded by crowds." .”

Xie Daonian looked at Song Lan in puzzlement, his eyes full of doubts.

Song Lan explained: "You know, the body temperature of our ghosts is much lower than that of humans, and your body temperature is higher than that of ordinary people, so once someone touches you, it is easy to find out your identity."

Song Lan couldn't adapt to Xie Daonian at the beginning, but she gradually got used to it after more physical contact. She even liked to sleep with Xie Daonian in her arms, just like hugging a stove, it was so warm that everything could melt.

"Is there any danger of being discovered?" Xie Daonian asked.

"It's nothing. Since you can successfully enter Fengdu, it means that your identity is legal." Song Lan scratched her hair, "I just want to let others know that you are a human being, and you will probably be surrounded by people. It will be photographed and posted on the forum for discussion, I don't want you to be the talk of everyone after dinner."

Song Lan's frankness warmed Xie Daonian's forehead, he gently put his arms around Song Lan's shoulders, quickly pecked him on the lips, and said with a smile, "Thank you for protecting me so much."

Song Lan blushed, put her hands against Xie Daonian's chest unnaturally, took half a step back, and looked around, worried that someone would notice this scene: "Let's go, let's go, don't delay the business."
