Run a B&B and receive Wu Song at the beginning

"Tongtong, Yunxiao, welcome to the underworld!"

Entering the netherworld, Zhou Ruotong's body automatically lit up with a translucent ball of light, which could resist the invasion of the surrounding Yin Qi.

Empress Houtu was waiting at the Gate of Hell in person, leading Ksitigarbha Diting, Yama of the Tenth Hall, and the judges of each hall. There were even groups of terrifying-looking underworld troops not far away.

When my daughter-in-law comes, she must be received with the highest etiquette.

Looking at the gloomy underworld, Zhou Ruotong felt that it was lucky that her husband had not come, otherwise he would have been so scared that he would have hugged him and screamed when he first arrived here.

From her point of view, this place is not actually scary, and there is no creepy music like in horror movies, but the color tone and the vague gloomy atmosphere here still make her a little uncomfortable.

With the treasure money on his shoulders, he cheered up and saw the ghost servants lining up to welcome him. He carried his wings behind his back, like a leader of the reviewing troops.

However, as soon as it left the range of the protective bubble, it felt a strong sense of discomfort. It quickly flapped its small wings and landed on Zhou Ruotong's shoulder again.

Zhou Ruotong followed the example of ancient people and saluted the Queen Mother:

"Daughter-in-law Zhou Ruotong, meet your godmother."

Yun Xiao also bowed, using the same title of his daughter-in-law.

Empress Houtu was extremely happy:

"As a family, we should not engage in these red tapes. It is a great blessing that my son met you two. The environment here is not very good. Can Tongtong still adapt to it?"

Yunxiao was at the pinnacle of Daluo's realm, a quasi-sage who could kill three corpses, and Yin Qi and other things could not disturb her at all.

Empress Houtu is more concerned about Zhou Ruotong's status as a mortal. If her daughter-in-law doesn't like this place, she will end it in a hurry to avoid any psychological shadow.

Zhou Ruotong said:

"This bubble can block the Yin energy. I think everything is quite novel. I have studied atheism for more than 20 years, but I ended up visiting the underworld. It feels very mysterious."

There is no distinction between day and night in the underworld. There is gray mist everywhere and there are no green plants.

Zhou Ruotong planned to wait until the welcome ceremony was over, then take out his mobile phone to take some videos and photos, and when he returned to the real world, he would take them out to scare the bad guy and see if he dared to be bold again.

Thinking of Li Yu in his mind, Professor Zhou unconsciously came up with Li Yu's weird ideas:

"If some plants that don't need light are planted here, the environment will be much better, but I don't know if they can be planted."

Living in this kind of environment, even if you are not afraid of the invasion of Yin Qi, the environment alone will make you gloomy. It would be better if you could plant some green plants or something.

Empress Houtu read her daughter-in-law's thoughts and said with a smile:

"You need to plant plants that absorb yin energy here to survive. If ordinary plants are planted here, the floating dead energy will cause the plants to dry up instantly and they will not survive at all."

Zhou Ruotong is not discouraged:

"I can try it in the future. When I leave here, I can ask my mother-in-law to fill my mind with a few plant-related books. Maybe I can find plants suitable for the underworld."

What she cares about is not the plants, but whether the plants can consume the dead energy here when they grow.

If possible, the underworld might really become a paradise of birds singing and flowers fragrant in the future.

Dong He, the king of Mount Tai who is the most senior among the Ten Halls of Yama, said:

"When this place was first opened, it used to be like heaven, full of immortal energy and abundant spiritual energy. Unfortunately, countless souls came here to reincarnate, leaving a lot of dead energy. In addition, heaven took away our due merits, and the underworld gradually became It's like it is now... If all the death energy here can be consumed, the underworld will reappear as it was when it was opened, and the queen's body will be completely restored to its peak condition. "

Before the Tenth Palace of Yama, the underworld was always under the control of Lord Taishan. However, there were too many ghosts and they could not handle it, so the Tenth Palace of Yama was expanded. Just as the Lingshan side seized power, Ksitigarbha hid here and even issued the message "Hell is not empty." The ambition of "I swear not to be a Buddha" was not only for self-protection, but also because I felt the pain of Empress Houtu and wanted to do something.

Empress Houtu transformed into the six realms of reincarnation, and the death energy in the underworld was gone, which meant that the empress' body was completely healed and she could exert her power as a saint.

After everyone chatted for a while, Zhou Ruotong asked Yun Xiao to take out the gift.

Before coming to the underworld, the two of them went to Qilin Village and asked Yue Fei to move pile No. 1 in the warehouse, which was full of gifts for everyone in the underworld.

For example, what was given to Di was the same cashmere carpet and a vest specially designed for large dogs as Brother Dao. Considering that he occasionally appears in the form of a child, he also gave him a few sets of clothes and shoes suitable for children.

Ksitigarbha's gifts are Buddhist materials from the real world. These are actually of little use, but they can help Ksitigarbha look at the development of religion from a dialectical perspective.

In the future, more than 95% of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan will perish, which is equivalent to cutting down all the branches and vines of Buddhism, leaving only the Tathagata and a few disciples.

And Ksitigarbha is the successor of Lingshan, so how to avoid making the same mistakes in the future has become his focus.

After distributing all the gifts to everyone, Zhou Ruotong handed Cui Jue a writing brush made of white jade with some gold ornaments inlaid on it:

"You helped Pengju's adoptive father extend his life. This is a thank you gift he asked me to give you. I hope Judge Cui won't dislike it."

Li Shimin heard that Yue Fei would become a calligrapher in the future, so he gave him a luxurious-looking brush, but Yue Fei was reluctant to use it. Taking advantage of Zhou Ruotong's visit to the underworld to visit relatives, he asked his master's wife to bring it over to express his gratitude to Cui Jue. .

Cui Jue didn't expect there would be an extra gift, so he quickly took it with both hands:

"Buddha uncle is so polite. The matter of extending life was ordered by Ksitigarbha. I just made two strokes, which is not worth mentioning."

Let's not talk about whether the gift is expensive or not. Yue Fei's identity alone is enough for Old Cui to show off for a while.

After delivering the gifts, Zhong Kui, the judge in charge of the Punishment Department of the Underworld, introduced the army of the Underworld to the noble Saint Consort:

"Since the last time the Queen sent a divine decree saying that she would annex the Western Underworld, we have organized the heroic spirits who died in the battle and formed an army. Once the war begins, we will instantly disintegrate the defense line of the Western Underworld with the force of thunder."

Zhou Ruotong reminded:

"The entrance to the Western Underworld is an endless river of the Underworld. All the souls who have passed away need the boatman Charon to ferry them into the Underworld with a small boat... We have a navy here, right?"

Zhong Kui raised his head and smiled:

"The treasure ship navy of the Ming Dynasty is training in the Nether Sea. If there is a river in the Western Underworld, our chances of winning will be greater."

The Chinese army of each dynasty can be found in the Underworld. For this reason, the Western Underworld can no longer escape the annexation of the East.

Of course, it is more reasonable to call it the promotion of kingship.

Di Ting's interest is all on the three-headed dog of hell:

"I don't know if that three-headed dog is fun to play with. If it is, I'll keep it alive as my pet. If it is not, forget it and let Xiaotian bite it to death!"

Cui Jue asked:

"Why don't you do it yourself? Are you afraid that you can't beat the three-headed dog?"

Di Ting shook his head:

"As a chess player, how can I play in person?"

Humph, I want to be a capitalist in the mount circle. When I let Xiaotian bite the three-headed dog of hell to death, it will thank me with its shoulders and back.

Zhou Ruotong said:

"Norse mythology, Greek mythology, Athenian mythology, Yama mythology, etc., there are rumors about hellhounds. If Xiaotian wants to earn merits, it will be busy."

Di Ting quickly wrote it down, and when he saw Xiaotian, he quietly revealed it, and then said that it was me, a good brother, who helped it get the information, and in the future, it will absolutely obey me!

After talking about these, Zhong Kui led the army of the underworld away and returned to the world of Yangjiafu where Mu Guiying was, to guard Weizhou City and receive those alien souls.

The Ten Kings of Hell were also busy with their own things, leaving Hou Tu Niangniang and Di Zang behind, and took Zhou Ruotong and Yunxiao to start touring the underworld.

Huangquan Road, Naihe Bridge, Netherworld Sea...

When passing Huangquan Road, Zhou Ruotong found that the road was full of gorgeous flowers on both sides, which seemed out of tune with the environment of the entire underworld, and quickly took out his mobile phone to take a few photos.

The empress reminded:

"Tongtong, you are a mortal, don't stare at those flowers, it's easy to have hallucinations... Red spider lilies live on flesh and blood, which is very evil to mortals and should be kept away from."

Thinking of the settings in some literary works, Zhou Ruotong asked:

"Mom, can red spider lilies resurrect people?"

"No, it will devour flesh and blood and souls, but the flowers can nourish the Yin spirits, Cui Jue and others like to use them to make tea."

After talking about red spider lilies, the empress looked at Yunxiao and asked:

"What do you feel about this journey in the human world?"

Yunxiao thought for a moment and said:

" I feel that it is not easy for the human race to grow from weak to strong. At the same time, I also found that after mortals die, they go to the netherworld to reincarnate. The whole process does not require the participation of the heaven, but the heaven takes away almost all the faith and merits. This is unreasonable. "

"It is indeed unreasonable. Xiaoyu has some plans. You may know when they are implemented in the future. This child has many tricks. If he makes you angry in other aspects, please be more tolerant. We are mothers and have only one son. We are more spoiled. I hope you don’t blame me. "

Yunxiao, as a congenital creature, has no concept of parents.

But Li Yu, a mortal, has three mothers, and this does not count the mother-in-law.

In the real world, the third mother Li Fuyu is eating beef noodles.

Beef bones are boiled in soup, paired with high-gluten noodles, and then poured with a spoonful of beef stew made from broth, and a spoonful of chili oil, and a bowl of beef noodles is made in this way.

Li Yu slurped a mouthful of noodles, took another bite of a sesame seed bun with beef head meat, and asked Li Shimin who was also eating noodles across from him:

"You mean the Wang family of Taiyuan has surrendered to Fengming Village without any reservations?"

"Yes, according to what the new clan leader said, after last night's killing, the Wang family has recognized the reality and found the future development direction... It feels like he used our hands to get rid of the disobedient members of the family. I feel like he was being used."

Little Shimin was very happy at first, but he sat down with Xie Hong and Li Jing to think carefully, and felt that this matter was too smooth, and then there was a speculation that he was being used.

But there are always two sides to things. If you can get the full support of a family, you can be used. It's better than being two-faced.

Li Shimin drank a sip of iced grape juice and asked in a low voice:

"Sir, all the pipes here will be transported tomorrow. Can we also dismantle the doors, windows, tables, chairs, water pipes, washbasins, etc. in the dormitory building?"

"Yes, be careful when dismantling the solar energy. If it doesn't work, let Brother Dao go to the roof to open a door, and you can transport it directly from the roof to avoid damage."

"Okay, then these things in the restaurant..."

"You can also take them away. The contract signed is to pack them up before the end of the month. We still have time, so there is no rush. Look for more things that can be dismantled and pack them up slowly."

The surveillance equipment that was dismantled two days ago has been taken to the World of the Three Kingdoms by Liu Xie and is to be installed around the palace and at the intersection of several streets to prevent anyone from sneaking into the palace to do bad things.

Li Yu ate a large bowl of beef noodles and a sesame seed cake with beef head meat, and drank half a bowl of beef bone and radish soup. Then he wiped his mouth with satisfaction and prepared to go back to the B\u0026B.

Just then, the phone rang, and Diao Chan called:

"Can you come to school to pick me up? The teacher allows me to stay at home for the weekend."

Li Yu was a little confused:

"Aren't you guys off until next weekend? Is this a day off?"

Moral education schools usually have one weekend every two weeks, so students can go home and rest during the weekend. Senior high school students are said to only have one big weekend every month, and they usually study in addition to studying.

There was lightness in Diao Chan's voice:

"Yesterday, there was a preliminary test in the first year of high school. I got first place, but the gap between the second place and the first place was a bit big. The class teacher asked me to choose a reward, including a school bag and so on. I missed you, so I changed it to weekends. Go home and rest.”

Listening to the little girl's sweet voice, Li Yu said:

"I miss you too... Don't hang around outside the school gate. It's the evening rush hour and there are a lot of cars. Just wait at the school. I'll be there soon."

"Okay, sir, I'll wait for you in the reception room."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yu did not leave immediately. Instead, he ordered a cup of Wanli Mulan on his mobile phone and indicated that he would pick it up at the store. Then he drove over and got the milk tea before heading to the Moral Education Bilingual School.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a little girl standing in the door with a backpack on her back, playing with scissor hands and taking a selfie, looking like she was in a good mood.

Li Yu parked the car, and the little girl said hello to the security guard in the reception room, came outside happily, opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, and saw the milk tea on the cup holder at a glance:

"Wow, there's also milk tea to drink, thank you husband."

"Fasten your seat belt first and then drink. What do you want to eat? There is beef noodles in the canteen of the water supply company. If you don't like it, you can go to the city to eat."

Diao Chan buckled her seat belt, took a sip of milk tea, and asked tentatively:

"I remember last time you said that you and Zhang Guoan went to a casserole restaurant and it tasted very good. How about you come with me to try it?"

Li Yu: "..."

After holding back for a long time, I figured out a casserole that would make more than 20 servings. Little girl, you are not good at this. Looking at the little fairies on the Internet, they are not only good at spending men's money, but many of them have even published relevant strategies. They are so famous. Said to explode gold coins.

He turned the car around and asked as he drove towards the city:

"Aren't you going to eat something else?"

"No, the casserole is good. It would be even better if you could put some rice noodles in it. I like to eat casserole rice noodles."

Since the little girl likes to eat, it is natural to satisfy her wish.

Li Yu drove to the place where Zhang Guoan used to work, parked the car first, and then took Diao Chan to eat a small portion of crispy pork casserole with rice noodles. He saw that the blast furnace pancakes next door were good, so he bought another one for Diao Chan.

At the end of the meal, the total cost was twenty-two.

The little girl walked out of the store and was still muttering:

"I saw in the guide that last year it was only 18 servings. I didn't expect the price to increase this year. Fortunately, it tastes good. I will bring sister Guiying to try it one day. She has a big appetite and she must like it very much."

Back in the car, Li Yu asked:

"Your Highness, may I ask where you are going next?"

Diao Chan held Li Yu's hand with a smile and said:

"How about we watch a movie and then go back?"

"What's wrong with this? Let's go, let's go to the cinema before "Alien: Death Ship" is released and let you get in touch with foreign science fiction films."

Li Yu was so happy that he completely forgot that this was a space horror movie. As a result, the little girl watched it with gusto, but his mood was in a state of confusion, and he lost the comfort and comfort he felt when he first entered the theater.

When the movie ended, Diao Chan held his arm and said:

"My husband is so timid and still goes to the movies with me, thank you."

Li Yu pretended to be calm and said:

"I'm mainly afraid of ghosts. There's nothing to be afraid of these little alien creatures... Of course, it's a little different from what I expected."

He originally wanted to watch a romantic movie sweetly with the little girl, occasionally holding hands or secretly kissing, but instead he chose such a horror movie, and was carried away by the rhythm of the movie throughout, let alone secretly kissing. Didn't even finish the popcorn.

After walking out of the screening room, Diao Chan, who had just been talking about the increase in the price of casserole, came to the front desk of the theater and bought Mu Guiying a large portion of popcorn and a large portion of French fries, as well as two glasses of iced Coke.

After leaving the theater, Diao Chan bought Mu Guiying her favorite delicacies such as whirlwind potato tart, cheese sweet potato, full sugar milk tea, and strong steamed buns.

Li Yu asked:

"Why did you buy so many?"

"My husband is accompanying me today. I want to make some compensation to Sister Guiying, otherwise she will be unhappy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Guiying called:

"Husband, the people at the water company's compound said you were gone, and I couldn't find you when I came to the B\u0026B. Are you secretly dating someone?"

Li Yu heard the sound of sharpening a knife coming from the phone and said quickly:

"I'm here to pick up Xiaochan. She got the top grade in the whole grade. The head teacher specially approved her to go home for the weekend. We also bought you a bunch of food. Just wait at the B\u0026B. We'll talk about it when we get there."

"Okay, okay, I'm hungry!"

When they returned to the B\u0026B, Mu Guiying came over to greet them before they even got out of the car. Seeing Diao Chan buying so much food, she immediately danced with joy:

"Thank you so much, Fairy Little Chan, these are the delicacies I want to eat most."

She first stuffed a handful of popcorn into her mouth, drank a sip of milk tea, and then picked up the steamed bun and ate it.

Li Yu pushed the door and got out of the car. Seeing her eating, he felt a little distressed:

"Why do you make yourself so hungry? Did something happen in Weizhou?"

Mu Guiying swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth, took a big sip of Coke, and then said:

"The subordinate gods under the Changshengtian throne felt that we were too bullying, so they came to the border of Weizhou to provoke, and were beaten by Zhong Kui and begged for mercy. I was busy watching the show and missed the meal..."
