N-A-A Chapter 1524 Going to the Ghost Market
Chapter 1524 Going to the Ghost Market
dusk.
The emperor was still talking to Brother Frog about what they could buy at the ghost market when suddenly a ghost in green clothes walked out.
"Ho!"
Both the Emperor and Frog Brother were startled. The two ghosts stepped back at the same time, staring at the ghost messenger who suddenly appeared with wide eyes.
The ghost held two sets of clothes in one hand.
"Is that Zhou Changxi, the Grand Emperor of the Great Zhou?"
"Yes, it's me..." The emperor was stunned. Several ghost messengers in the underworld already knew him, so why did someone suddenly call him by his name?
strange.
The ghost messenger said, "I am the number 10 sacrificial manager at your service. These are the new clothes you received, two sets in total. Please accept them."
He handed two sets of clothes to the emperor.
The emperor took it in a daze.
Two new sets of clothes.
The ghost officer looked at Frog Brother again, "Is the soldier ghost who is temporarily staying in Huaiyuan nicknamed Frog Brother?"
Frog: "Ah."
"this is yours."
The other two sets of clothes were handed to him, and he quickly took them.
"The offering has been delivered, so I'll leave."
There was another flash of darkness before my eyes, and the ghost left.
The Emperor and Frog Brother were both confused when they faced each other.
Zheng Ying floated over and looked at the clothes in their hands, a little puzzled.
"My parents and my sister would burn something for me from time to time, but they would burn it directly at my grave. I would go to the grave to pick it up after receiving the letter. Why do you have ghost messengers delivering it?"
"I don't know either. This is my first time and I have no experience..." Frog Brother said blankly.
The emperor cried, "After I died, there must have been a lot of things burned in the palace. How come you didn't receive any of them?"
Lu Zhaoling packed up her things and came out, just in time to hear these words and looked over.
"Did you receive the clothes?"
"Master Ling, is this what you asked Qingyu to burn in the ancestral temple?" asked the emperor.
"Ah, yes." Lu Zhaoling said, "I asked Qingyu to use a talisman with an address on it to light the fire. This can be directly delivered by the Netherworld's specialized sacrificial manager, and it will be delivered quickly and accurately."
"Generally speaking, for those with tombstones, the offerings burned at the graves are collected at the respective regional offering storage points, which then distribute them to the ghosts who collect the offerings. However, there are countless offering storage points throughout the world, and the management of each point is different."
"Some ghosts who manage the storage centers are greedy and lazy. They might deduct some of the offerings, or they might wait a while before releasing them. It's also possible that they might just embezzle the offerings."
Lu Zhaoling added, "Some cemeteries are quite special. After the offerings are burned, they are immediately brought to the graveside, and the ghost in question goes to retrieve them. This is the case with Zheng Ying. I chose the cemetery for her to prevent her offerings from being withheld or suppressed by ghosts."
Zheng Ying was stunned. "Ah, so that's how it is!"
Lu Zhaoling looked at Frog again. "You're a long way from your original gravesite. If someone burns something for you in the southwest, it might take a few turns before it reaches you. And if you run into a greedy little devil along the way, it might even be taken away."
"And the Retired Emperor," Lu Zhaoling turned to the Retired Emperor and said, "Your status is different. The royal family has a palace in Youdu, and sacrifices are sent directly there. However, members of the royal family usually go directly to the reincarnation, and rarely go there."
"So, our Great Zhou royal family has a small palace in Youdu?" The retired emperor was greatly surprised.
"correct."
"Then there must be a lot of things stored there by now?" The emperor suddenly felt as if he had become rich after his death.
"Uh, I think so. I haven't been there either."
"Master Ling, aren't you curious at all? You should have taken me home to have a look last time we went to the Netherworld."
The emperor rubbed his hands.
"That place is quite far from the main halls of the underworld." Lu Zhaoling was speechless.
"Then next time, next time, go and take a look! After you and A Yue get married, that place will be your home too. When you go to the underworld in the future, we'll have a home to return to..."
Lu Zhaoling: “…”
When I hear this, I always feel that it is not a good thing.
Frog Brother and Zheng Ying were also speechless.
Why let the master go to the underworld?
Lu Zhaoling touched his forehead, "That little palace may be different from what you imagined..."
"You should change your clothes. The emperor should not wear this dragon robe when he goes to the ghost market."
This is going to scare someone to death.
"I'll change it right away." The emperor was quite happy when he finally realized what was going on.
Frog Brother's eyes were filled with tears, and he could even change into new clothes.
Yin Changxing also packed up and came out. Seeing that they had all gone to change clothes, he looked at Lu Zhaoling, "Xiao Ling'er, when did burning things become so troublesome?"
The Emperor and Brother Frog were clearly right in front of her. To give them something, Lu Zhaoling only needed to cast a talisman in front of them and teleport them face to face.
"Shhh."
Lu Zhaoling quickly signaled him not to let the secret slip.
"Master, if they knew, wouldn't the Emperor be pestering me to burn things for him from time to time?"
If she wants to drink, she can ask her to make a pot of wine. If she is hungry, she can ask her to make some food. Can she make it?
Yin Changxing was silent.
He then remembered that later a group of ghosts discovered that Xiao Ling'er had this ability, and they all rushed to her, asking for this and that. The most outrageous thing was that one ghost asked her to help burn a few spring pictures, saying that this thing was not good and asked children to burn it in their dreams.
His temples were throbbing at that time, and he picked up a broom to sweep all the ghosts away.
But he knew that from time to time, ghosts would sneak up on Lu Zhaoling and ask her to help burn things.
However, some ghosts are more sensible and will find various good things from other places to give to Xiao Ling'er in exchange.
"Anyway, we can't let them know about this," Lu Zhaoling said. "Anyway, just light some incense for the little ghost in the Sacrifice Management Office. It's no big deal."
There are so many wandering ghosts in this world, and there are always many ghosts who cannot get sacrifices through formal channels. People like Lu Zhaoling who have the ability to burn things for them in person will always -
Being entangled.
Yin Changxing didn't say anything else.
"Besides, if I'm not afraid of the Emperor, I should be afraid of Grandma Sheng," Lu Zhaoling muttered. "There are no descendants of the Sheng family in the mortal world who burn sacrifices for Grandma Sheng. If she knew she could use this method, wouldn't she pester me to do it?"
Now that Grandma Sheng’s cultivation has improved, she can use the money in the mortal world to buy things. It’s perfect. She can buy whatever she wants and also find ways to make money.
"Zheng Ying, after we leave, you must guard Huai Garden well. If there are evil cultivators you cannot defeat, don't fight them head-on." Lu Zhaoling instructed Zheng Ying.
"Master Lu, I understand."
Lu Zhaoling didn't plan to bring any young people this time.
She also drew some amulets and gave them to them, asking them to keep an eye on the movements in the capital. If anything happened, they could just burn a sound transmission note to call her, and she would rush back as soon as possible if she could.
"Miss, do you want to go to the palace again?" Qingyin asked.
Lu Zhaoling shook her head and said, "No, let's just go now."
As night fell, the people and ghosts who were about to set off followed Lu Zhaoling. Lu Zhaoling drew a line with his golden pen and opened the ghost gate.
"Let's go."
