Chapter 424: Day 1 as a ghost messenger
After leaving the Administration, Shen Sangning returned to Lingyun Temple.
Su Yirou didn't leave and waited for her in the hall.
Seeing Shen Sangning coming back, he hurriedly ran to greet her.
"Master Shen...thank you...thank you..."
Shen Sangning smiled indifferently: "It's just a small matter, no need to be polite. Just do your job with confidence, the job of a ghost messenger is not difficult."
"If you encounter any problems, you can send me a message."
Su Yirou nodded and said, "Master Shen, I still don't quite understand... How can I report to the underworld at night? To sleep?"
"What if I can't sleep and am late? I'll be late..."
Shen Sangning smiled and gently touched Su Yirou's forehead. Suddenly, a mirror appeared in her hand: "Do you see the mark on your forehead?"
"Ah..." Su Yirou frowned slightly, looking at the mark on her forehead in the mirror, she didn't like it very much. She even thought it was a bit ugly.
Shen Sangning sensed her change in mood and murmured, "Don't worry, others can't see it, and you can't see it either."
"Just now, I made the mark appear briefly in order to explain it to you."
Hearing this, Su Yirou's expression eased a lot. If she kept this mark on her, how would she be able to go out and meet people in the future...
"There are two things you need to do. First, before 11 o'clock every night, you must find a place where you can guarantee your personal safety."
"That means you have to be home and in bed before eleven o'clock."
"At eleven o'clock, you will fall asleep in an instant and automatically enter the underworld."
"Second, be obedient. Listen to what the Black and White Impermanence say. They are experienced in the underworld and know how to handle various matters. Since you are a newcomer, it's right to follow their instructions." Shen Sangning warned seriously.
Su Yirou pursed her lips, her eyes revealing a hint of nervousness: "Master Shen, I remember it. But... the underworld is so big, what if I get lost?"
Shen Sangning patted her shoulder gently: "Don't worry, the underworld has its own unique rules and order. When you first go there, the Black and White Impermanence will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment and work processes. And the mark on your forehead will have a certain guiding role. As long as you think about work, it will give you directions at critical moments."
"Also, there are many rules in the underworld. Don't enter some forbidden areas out of curiosity. Some places are filled with extremely yin energy, and it will damage your soul if you are not careful." Shen Sangning continued patiently.
Su Yirou became more nervous as she listened, twisting the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands: "Master Shen, what should I do if I encounter a particularly vicious ghost while on a mission? I... I'm a little scared."
Shen Sangning comforted him, "Normally, the Black and White Impermanence will deal with those difficult guys. But if you are really in danger, you should concentrate and send a distress signal to the law enforcement team of the underworld through the mark. The law enforcement team of the underworld reacts quickly and will come to support you soon."
"And your mark has a certain protective effect, so you'll be fine."
"In addition, after each mission is completed, the underworld will give you corresponding rewards based on your performance. It may be to increase your Yin power or other benefits."
"But remember, don't take risks just for the sake of rewards." Shen Sangning's eyes were full of concern and expectation.
Su Yirou took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Master Shen, I understand. I will definitely work hard to do this job well and live up to your expectations."
Shen Sangning smiled and nodded: "Okay, I believe you can do it. Tonight is your first time to report to the underworld, relax and do what I tell you."
As night fell, Su Yirou returned home early and lay on the bed, feeling nervous and expectant. As the clock slowly pointed to eleven o'clock, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she fell into a deep sleep in an instant, her soul leaving her body.
The next second, her soul appeared in the underworld.
Su Yirou opened her eyes in a daze and found herself in a smoky, dark and eerie place. Her heart skipped a beat.
"The underworld at night? Why is it so creepy!" she muttered softly.
At this moment, the Black and White Impermanence suddenly appeared in front of her. With a stern face, the Black Impermanence said in a rough voice, "Little girl, follow closely and don't run around!"
Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. If you follow me from now on, you will go hungry nine times out of three days!"
Su Yirou, who was originally a little nervous and scared, felt a lot more relaxed after hearing Bai Wuchang's words.
It seems that they are not that difficult to get along with.
Su Yirou nodded quickly and followed them like a little tail.
As they walked, Su Yirou passed by a busy street market and looked around curiously. She saw some ghosts setting up stalls to sell strange things, while others gathered together laughing.
She couldn't help but ask, "Don't these ghosts need to be reincarnated?"
Hei Wuchang snorted, "They all have unfinished business in the underworld, or are waiting for the opportunity to reincarnate. Don't dawdle, we still have business to do!"
Bai Wuchang continued, "Girl, when you become familiar with it, you can slowly understand these things."
"Okay..." Su Yirou nodded obediently, and formed a preliminary impression of the Black and White Impermanence in her mind.
Continuing to move forward, Su Yirou followed closely while secretly observing the Black and White Impermanence.
Hei Wuchang always had a serious and stern face, and his black robe fluttering in the wind added a bit of majesty, which made Su Yirou unconsciously feel in awe.
She thought to herself: "This Black Impermanence may look fierce, but he must be a ghost messenger with strong principles. If I follow him, I will be able to do nothing wrong."
"I just don't know if he will punish me mercilessly if I accidentally make a mistake." Thinking of this, Su Yirou couldn't help but shiver.
Looking at Bai Wuchang again, he always had a smile on his face and spoke in a humorous way, which made Su Yirou feel much closer to him.
"Bai Wuchang is quite easy to get along with. He feels like a warm-hearted older brother. If there is anything I don't understand in the future, maybe I can ask him more." Su Yirou thought silently in her heart.
At this time, they came to a bridge. The river water under the bridge was dark and exuded a strange smell.
Hei Wuchang stopped and said seriously: "This is the Wangchuan River. You can't touch the water in it. If you fall in, you will be in trouble!"
Su Yirou quickly took a few steps back and nodded repeatedly.
Bai Wuchang smiled and added: "Little girl, don't be too nervous, just be careful."
"Hey, Lao Hei, can't you speak more gently? Don't scare the little girl!"
Hei Wuchang glanced at Bai Wuchang and said nothing.
After crossing the bridge, they came to a forest. The trees in the forest were fierce and shadowy.
Hei Wuchang pointed at the woods and said, "This is the Ghost Forest. There are often lost ghosts in it, including some evil spirits. If you dare to step in casually, you will die!"
Su Yirou felt uneasy: "I'll remember it."
As she was walking, Su Yirou accidentally tripped over a stone and almost fell. Hei Wuchang glared at her: "Why are you so careless!"
Bai Wuchang quickly supported her and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Who is so wicked as to put the stone here?"
Su Yirou smiled embarrassedly, and her fondness for Bai Wuchang increased a little more. At the same time, she secretly warned herself to be more careful and never make Hei Wuchang angry.
After this journey, Su Yirou had a deeper impression of the Black and White Impermanence. Although the Black Impermanence was fierce, he also worked for the rigor and smoothness of the work.
Bai Wuchang's kindness and friendliness made her feel a little warmth in this gloomy underworld.
