The crooked way can also lead to heaven

Although the island was shrouded in darkness at this moment, the light emitted by the volcano still lit up the area.

In addition to the sound of the volcanic eruption, there seemed to be a loud noise coming from the other side.

Ye Ran stared at the direction of the Tiangong, and the sound of collapse was still easy to distinguish.

The Tiangong was originally built on the top of the mountain, and it was next to the volcano. After years of collision, the tip of the mountain was probably already shaky.

For Ye Ran, it didn't matter. It was better if the Tiangong was destroyed. In this way, no one would be able to find the golden tree here.

After all, this kind of thing is too against the sky. I can get it myself, but others can forget about it.

"Boss Ye, what are your plans for the next step?" Little Beijing, who was lying on the beach, asked with his head tilted.

Ye Ran took out a cigarette and lit it, saying lightly: "Everyone go back to their own homes. I'm afraid I will be very busy in the next period of time."

After that, he took out the messenger token. The token that had been silent all the time was now emitting a strange red light, flickering.

In fact, since coming to the mirror world, this token has been flashing non-stop. Ye Ran suspected that Zhou Wuyuan, the old man, had run into trouble, so he kept calling.

But because the mirror world is different from the main world, it is impossible to know the content of the message he conveyed.

Judging from the frequency of this flashing, it is probably extremely urgent.

"Mr. Jin, have you heard of the Sealing Heaven Formation?" Ye Ran took back the token and turned around to ask.

Little Beijing thought for a while: "Why are you asking this?"

Ye Ran explained: "Remember the Ghost Eye Judge? He said he was locked there by the Heaven Sealing Formation and couldn't leave. Then I made a deal with him."

After hearing the whole story, Little Beijing said: "I'm afraid it's difficult. I have seen the words of the Heaven Sealing Formation in ancient books, and there is no other description."

"Judging from the fonts in the ancient books, the Heaven Sealing Formation is at least a thousand years old. You know that most of the ancient formations have been lost."

Ye Ran smacked his lips: "That being said, I will trouble you more after I go back."

Little Beijing turned his head away with an impatient look: "You only assign hard tasks to people. Okay, I will study it when the time comes and notify you immediately if there is any news."

After the voice fell, everyone stopped talking. After replenishing the deep fresh water resources, they rowed away from the island.

There are too many unknowns in the mirror world. No one knows what strange things will appear in the next second. It is better to leave early.

The way to go back is exactly the same as when coming down. This year has been a long time, making everyone physically and mentally exhausted.

They can't eat well, and they can't sleep well. When they return to the main world, everyone has lost more than ten pounds.

...

In the small fishing village, everyone returned to their rooms and fell asleep peacefully.

Ye Ran came to the beach alone, and the red light of the messenger token he took out continued to flash.

"Friend Ye, it's really not easy for me to contact you."

Zhou Wuyuan's voice floated in his ears, but he didn't see his real body.

This token is the same as a mobile phone in the world, but it can only be connected by a single line. If Zhou Wuyuan doesn't take the initiative to contact, Ye Ran can only ask the ghost messenger to bring him a message.

"What's so urgent?" Ye Ran asked.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Wuyuan should be busy consolidating his power now, and he shouldn't contact him casually.

"One of my city gods has suddenly lost contact, and people have been dying abnormally in the area under his jurisdiction. I think something is fishy, ​​so I want you to investigate."

"Are you kidding me? You are a judge, and you have so many ghost messengers under you. Why do you want me to investigate?"

Ye Ran was a little unhappy. He could just send his subordinates to do this kind of thing. Even if you just went to the underworld, it is impossible that you can't spare this little manpower, right?

Zhou Wuyuan sighed softly: "To tell you the truth, someone wants to encroach on that land. All the people I sent out have disappeared, and I suspect that the disappearance of the City God is also related to them."

"I just entered the underworld, and the territory under my command was taken over from the previous judge, so the situation is rather delicate, and I have no choice but to ask you to investigate."

After hearing this explanation, Ye Ran raised his eyebrows and said: "I say, you old guy, you didn't offend someone and asked me to clean up the mess, right?"

Zhou Wuyuan immediately responded: "How could I be such a person, my friend, your identity as a policeman is more useful in the world of the living than a ghost, and your actions are not as good as mine. There will be no restrictions on anything, so please don't refuse. "

Ye Ran lit up a cigarette: "I won't go unless there is benefit."

Zhou Wuyuan was also troubled by this: "Friend Ye, I haven't established a firm foothold in the underworld yet, how can I give you a treasure?"

Ye Ran didn't care about this, and still said in a tough attitude: "Give me money, I will help you. If I can't give you a satisfactory reward, you can ask someone else."

The power of the underworld is extremely complicated. Becoming a policeman is like being stuck in a quagmire. If you take on the task at this time, you will be completely stuck in the quagmire, and you won't have the chance to pull it out.

If the position of a policeman can't get any benefits, then what is the point of doing it?

Zhou Wuyuan, who was in the underworld, fell into silence.

He put his hands behind his back and looked up at the picture in front of him. Ye Ran's figure was reflected above, and even the action of smoking could be seen, just like a live broadcast.

"Master, there are still some copper coins in the warehouse. At worst, we can give him some of them. It's not impossible to live by tightening the belt this month."

A man wearing a butler's attire stood beside Friday Yuan and bowed slightly, showing a gesture of respect.

Wu Wuyuan had a headache. He clapped his hands and rubbed his temples: "It's only a small amount of money in total, and things in this underworld are expensive. If I give it to him, I can't even tighten my belt."

Master Gui also sighed softly: "Master, if the money is gone, we can make more money. If the territory is gone, our power will be continuously squeezed and reduced."

"It turns out that you are new here, and your position is not yet completely stable. Most of the officers and soldiers in the mansion are close associates of the previous judge."

"If they see that your own territory has been robbed and you can't get it back, I'm afraid it will shake people's hearts."

What Master Ghost said is extremely reasonable. Even if you are a judge, it doesn't matter. If you can't even defend your own territory, who would be willing to follow a useless judge?

I'm afraid that when the time comes, all people's hearts will be lost, and a large number of people will defect.

"How come I don't know this truth?"

"That's all. How many copper coins are left in our warehouse? Let's take half of them and give them to him."

Friday Yuan gritted his teeth, and that was all he could do now.

An account book appeared out of thin air in Master Gui's hand. After flipping through a few pages, he took out an abacus to calculate, and then said: "There are still about two thousand copper coins."

"Master, with all due respect, I can't give half of this."

"The daily maintenance expenses of the mansion, as well as the salary of your officers and soldiers, as well as maintaining relationships, etc., and going out for ordinary exchanges and so on."

"After all this calculation, we can only use three hundred copper coins now, not even one penny more."

Wu Yuan immediately widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Only three hundred copper coins can be used?!"

"When did my judge's office become so poor? Didn't there still be a small ten thousand in the warehouse a few days ago?!"

Master Gui was not in a hurry and said earnestly: "Master, you had a lot of money to spend when you first took office. You have spent almost 20,000 yuan this time."

Friday Yuan almost vomited blood on the spot: "Where's last month's salary? Didn't the higher ups allocate five thousand to the magistrate's office?"

Master Gui hit the abacus a few more times.

"About two thousand of them were used to pay for the salaries of officers and soldiers. A few days ago, you held a big banquet and spent more than three hundred. You spent more than five hundred to consolidate relationships with judges of the same level. You spent another five hundred to establish relationships with superiors. More than a thousand."

"Last night you went to Chunxiao House to spend money, and you gave a reward of more than 200 to Xiao Cui, the top one. After all, the monthly public expenses of our magistrate's office are only the money for their salaries. You There are only more than 300 for personal use."

When Wuyuan heard about money, he kept sighing, and his superiors were also searching hard. They only allocated a small amount of money every month, which was just enough for public funds, and they calculated very well.

"Forget it, just allocate one hundred to Ye Chai."

"If he asks why there is so little money, just tell him that our magistrate's office only has two hundred copper coins left, and we gave him half of it."

Master Gui turned around and left. When he was about to leave, he seemed to have thought of something, so he stopped and turned around and said, "Master, I heard that there is a place in the world where you can borrow money. Recently, there has been a commotion among the officers and soldiers in the city. It seems that What's the name of the underworld casino? How about I...?"

Wu Wuyuan caressed his white beard, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "The Judge's Office is in urgent need of money. If you can, let's give it a try."

Master Gui expressed his understanding, and his body turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

…

Ye Ran was smoking at the beach, and suddenly there was no sound from the token. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be a sign of poor signal, but why was there no sound?

Just when he was wondering, Master Ghost appeared next to him.

"Ye Cha people, I have admired you for a long time."

Ye Ran turned around and saw that this guy was dressed like a dog and called himself a police officer. He couldn't be from Wuyuan, right?

"I am Judge Zhou's master, and I came here specifically to give you a reward. The Judge's Mansion is not as prosperous as it used to be, so I would like to offer you a small gift, but I hope Ye Chai will not find it objectionable."

Master Gui spoke in a tactful manner. He respectfully picked up a money bag and stretched out his hand.

Ye Ran took the money bag, immediately weighed it, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Is this so little?"

Master Ghost smiled: "Ye Chao is unaware that our Judge's Mansion only has two hundred copper coins left, but the Judge still decided to give you half of it."

In fact, Ye Ran didn't believe this. How could the huge Judge's Mansion only have two hundred copper coins left?

This mess is too miserable, it's not as cool as Black and White Wuchang and the others.

"Okay, this hundred is indeed a lot, so let's give him some face."

Ye Ran could only reluctantly agree first, and then he would see if the task was difficult or not. If it was difficult, he would ask Wu Yuan to add more money.

Master Gui pointed at the police token: "It contains the information you need. Officer Ye can read it by himself. I have something else to do, so I won't say more to you."

After saying that, the ghost master just disappeared on the spot.
