"Big brother, big brother, I was careless just now. Come on, have a cigarette." I subconsciously touched my pocket for cigarettes, looked down and found that I was also wearing a mourning dress. As for the cigarettes, where could I find one now?
I awkwardly smiled at Old Man Li and said: "My kid doesn't quite understand things, I was a bit too harsh with my words earlier. Can you tell me what kind of place this is?"
I don't want to be a grandson, but this unfamiliar place, I don't even know where this broken place is. At this time, I can only ask the old man Li in front of me.
Lao Li listened to what I said and a smile appeared on his face: "Well..."
Then he rubbed his right hand hard, almost rubbing it red. I asked: "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Don't you understand? Of course, it's about taking money! Otherwise, I'd be your free tour guide. This old man Li is really not polite, and as he spoke, his hands started touching me, after a while, he asked me strangely: 'Didn't your family send some cash or something for you to burn?'"
"You mean I'm dead?" I asked.
"Nonsense! What did you think this place was?" The old man looked at me and saw that I had no money on me, instantly losing interest. He turned around to leave.
I hastily grabbed his hand and said: "Big brother, don't go!"
"What's wrong with you? I want to tell you that I don't have any money on me, there's nothing to rob, and as for robbing me of my chastity, it's not possible." The old man turned around and said this to me, and I almost got angry enough to hit him.
This guy's hair is done like a non-mainstream person, and he's over 50 years old, would I still rob him of his color? My taste isn't that low, right?
Although I despise this old man in my heart, my face is full of smiles. It seems that this old man is a sly old fox who is very familiar with this place. If I don't ask him, should I go ask those people wearing mourning clothes and walking into the inn like puppets?
"Big brother, I felt that you were an extraordinary person from the moment I saw you. You must be a superior being from another world. I'm just a newcomer and don't understand the rules, so please enlighten me?" I asked with a flattering smile.
This guy had a pretentious look on his face, with an attitude of not wanting to bother with me, but apparently my flattery earlier still made him feel somewhat comfortable inside. He said: "Look at you, poor thing, I'll tell you anyway."
It turns out that the origin of this reincarnation ladder is not small. Everyone knows that a ghost must go to reincarnate after the seventh day, but where do those ghosts go to reincarnate? Of course, it's the underworld, but before going to the underworld, they have to come to this reincarnation ladder.
It's unknown how many years the Inn of the Afterlife has existed, but it's been around since ancient times. A person would arrive at the inn on the seventh day after their death and stay for half a month, allowing the ghosts to reminisce about their past lives in the inn. During this period, they could also send dreams to their relatives.
And half a month later, these ghosts will fall from the underworld to the hell, entering reincarnation and rebirth.
I heard Lao Li finish speaking and scolded: "Damn it, are you saying I've passed through the Ghost Gate? I'm not dead yet!"
What's going on? Didn't Zhao Shanyu say that my three souls and seven spirits would only run wild, so how did I end up in this reincarnation tower?
"You're not quite dead yet, but you're almost there." Old Lei shook his head and walked into the inn.
I saw Old Man Li go in and hastily followed him. Now this old man is my lifesaver. Isn't that how the plot usually goes? The protagonist falls on hard times and meets an old man who turns out to be a sage or something.
I don't know what to do now either. Honestly, although I know some Taoist magic, it's useless in this situation. The only hope is that the old man might have a way to save me.
This hostel is incredibly large, the lobby is estimated to be as big as half a football field. At this time, there are countless tables in the lobby, each table has a bunch of incense sticks on it, and around each table, there are a large number of ghosts surrounding it, holding an incense stick and starting to gnaw, just like eating chocolate bars.
The second floor has many rooms.
"Ah, Old Master Li, it's been a long time since you've come." As soon as the old man entered, a middle-aged woman in her thirties wearing a pink cheongsam dress came forward with a smile and greeted Old Master Li.
This old man Lǐ saw this woman and his eyes widened, he smiled foolishly and said: "What's Xiao Taohong saying? Hasn't she come down to see you?"
Lao Li said, his hands were still not honest, and he directly wrapped the woman in his arms with a lewd expression.
I looked at him from behind and shook my head. Did I guess wrong? This old guy isn't some kind of extraordinary person, but just a pervert?
"Eh, Old Master Li, what are you saying? Our big boss is upstairs. Are you going up to chat with him?" asked a woman named Xiaotao Hong with a series of giggles.
"Hey, old man." I couldn't take it anymore from behind, and now my heart is also annoyed. What's the point of running to this broken place? Luckily, I met an old man, originally hoping he could be a sage or something to save me, but now it feels like the chances are really small.
The old man turned his head and saw it was me, then asked: "Hey little guy, what are you following me for?"
"Old man, I'm not dead yet, is there any way to send me back to the world of the living?" I asked Old Man Li.
Lao Li shrugged and pointed to the little pink dress: "This is the manager of the main hall of Woshengzhai. If you have anything to say, just tell her, I'm busy."
After finishing speaking, Old Man Li immediately turned around and walked upstairs to the second floor.
I was about to follow up, but the originally smiling Xiaotao's face turned cold as she walked to the stairs and stretched out her hand to stop me, saying: "Don't follow him, whatever it is, just tell me."
"Big Sister Taohong, I'm innocent, I don't know what's going on, and I just ran to your territory. Big Sister, please let me go back, little brother will be eternally grateful, and when I get back, I'll send you a few trillion hell notes."
I had just finished speaking when someone suddenly shouted loudly at the door.
"I'm not dead yet, my dad is the mayor of xx city, I won't die, you can't touch me"
I turned around and saw a guy in his twenties wearing a mourning dress, covered in blood, looking particularly desolate. He was yelling loudly at the entrance, and all the ghosts were staring at him.
Perhaps it was because of that guy's words, the ghosts eating in the hall fell silent, and some ghosts' faces also changed slightly, probably thinking about the fact that they were already dead, each face looked unpleasant.
Suddenly, the little peach red unexpectedly pulled out an iron chain and swung it with force. The iron chain flew over and whipped the ghost's chest, which made me unexpected was that the ghost was directly flogged to death by this whip.
I saw this scene and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Every day I meet hundreds of such fools, uneasy about reincarnation, and only feel comfortable when they are beaten to the point of being scattered. The little peach red put away the iron chain, then turned her head and asked me: "Oh, what did you just say to me? I didn't hear clearly""
