Chapter 1 Underworld Invitation Letter
Linghu Chengye is a young man born in the 1980s from rural Northeast China. After graduating from university, he applied for a job at a road and bridge construction company. His eight years of hard work have transformed him from a young intern to the youngest project manager in the company.
He was able to achieve what he is today because of his perseverance and honest work attitude, but also inseparable from his handsome appearance and versatile way of dealing with the world.
So in recent years, his reputation in the road and bridge construction industry has been getting better and better, but because he is too honest, he never accepts bribes and becomes a thorn in the eyes of some people and a thorn in the flesh.
Because he is the youngest in the company's leadership, if he always plays and plays all day long like his peers, he naturally has no leader and cannot control others. Therefore, he always treats his subordinates with a gloomy face and is serious. Over time, he is named "Living King of Hell".
In March of that year, a project manager of a company was dismissed due to economic problems. As soon as the leader left the construction site, he was paralyzed. Linghu Chengye was ordered to be temporarily sent there by the company to replace his position.
When he first arrived at the project, Linghu Chengye's eyes were dark and no one handed over the project was very difficult to operate. Once the emperor and the ministers were all former managers on the project. Knowing that the boy Linghu Chengye was sent, he obviously wanted to give him a warning, so he was naturally extremely uncooperable with his work. This forced Linghu Chengye to ask about everything from funds to materials, processing to production, and to do everything in detail, and personally work hard to do everything from three in the morning to twelve in the evening every day.
His efforts and superb business in various positions finally convinced this group of subordinates. The initial staff who were originally loose in the sand was condensed into a fist of force by Linghu Chengye. The project that was expected to be difficult to start on time within the company was started on time under his guidance.
Linghu Cheng's karma turns the tide, and his decisive style has once again been widely spread in the industry. Everyone admires this young and promising young man, but they only see the glory after his success, but they do not see the sweat that Linghu Chengye has given.
One day, Linghu Chengye personally coordinated to solve a nail household and returned to his office and bedroom. He was a little tired and took off his coat, sat at the computer desk and turned on the computer, preparing to process some documents. Suddenly, a severe pain came from his left chest. The pain suddenly came, just like someone hitting his heart with a hammer, which made him twitch. He was shocked: "Did you have a heart disease?"
At the age of 32, he always claimed to be healthy and had no genetic history at home. When he was shocked and suspicious, the pain disappeared. He rubbed his chest and said to himself: "Maybe he has been too tired these days. He has to go to bed early today. It seems that he can't stay up late." He was reminding himself in his heart, and a knock came from outside the door, and a male voice said outside the door: "Manager Linghu has your letter." Xiao Zhang, the logistics department, and Linghu Chengye, came to this project, Xiao Zhang respected him quite respected him.
"Come in."
"Your letter," a man with black framed eyes and a very scholarly anger walked in and handed the letter to Linghu Chengye.
"Oh? Is there anyone writing a letter now?" Linghu Chengye took the letter and smiled faintly, "Thank you, Xiao Zhang."
"Manager, you're polite. If there's nothing else, I'll go out." Xiao Zhang turned around and took two steps, then turned around and said with some concern: "Manager, your face is a little bad, you must pay attention to your health."
"Oh, thank you, I'm fine, I just slept less, so you can be busy."
Xiao Zhang didn't say much, smiled and walked out.
Linghu Chengye opened the envelope and took out a black card that had been folded from the envelope. The outer skin of the card suddenly contained five blood-red words: "Invitation Letter from the Underworld"!
"Hiss!" Linghu Chengye frowned and threw the letter on the table. He thought to himself that he had received too many threatening letters, but this was the first time he had met him in this way.
Linghu Chengye was originally an atheist when he was in school, but after he was in the road and bridge construction industry for a long time, he would always be influenced by some influence. Because there is an unwritten rule in the road and bridge construction industry. Any tribute to burn incense and worship the project, praying for smooth construction and safety and smooth construction; whenever a mountain is drilled, he would worship the mountain god and the land father-in-law; whenever he was moved and moved tombs, he would be very particular. He would be sure to invite a master, and he would light up high incense and bow to all directions. Every time he took a tomb, he would use radishes to fill it back to his original position. The old saying goes, a radish and a pit means this.
This year, Linghu Chengye personally took his subordinates to offer pig heads, fruits and other items, burned incense and kowtowed. After the project this year, he saw with his own eyes that many things were difficult to explain clearly in the current science. Gradually, he also developed a strong sense of awe of ghosts and gods.
To be honest, this black card hit Linghu Chengye's current weakness. With his personality, he would not be afraid of the cold blades of sticks and bullets, but this invisible threat that could not be touched and invisible made him feel disgusted and a little afraid.
Looking at the black card lying on the table, he snorted coldly, without looking at the contents, and threw the envelope and the cards into the trash can, frowning and continuing the work at hand.
As night fell, Linghu Chengye had dinner and planned to take a break today. Faced with the sudden pain before, he was still scared. He took off his coat and accidentally saw the black card in the trash can again.
He shook his head helplessly and walked to the basin rack to wash his face, but his eyes always glanced at the black card of Zoubaba intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, he was not afraid of this thing, but he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when he looked at it. In Northeast dialect, it was said: A toad does not bite people and it was disgusting. He had already predicted that there would not be any good content in the card, and it would have no meaning to watch it or not, but the card seemed to have magic power and would always attract his attention.
Linghu Chengye wiped his face, hesitated for a while, and took out the black card from the trash can. The blood-red words on the page made him feel upset. He took out a lighter from his pocket, ignited the flame with a "click" sound, and placed the card on the flame. The yellow flame instantly swallowed the card. Linghu Chengye's hand was burned by the fire, and he threw the card on the ground with a conditioned reflex.
The card burned and began to roll in black smoke. The black smoke was very strange. Looking closely, it was divided into two colors. One black and the other white were shiny, and it became more and more gathered, and it was driven away without dispersing.
Two smokes flew out of the card and slowly condensed, enlarged, and gradually condensed into two shapes. The white smoke condensed into a man wearing a white hat and white clothes, with a pale face, tall and thin tongue hanging outside his mouth, holding a white stick in his hand; the black smoke also condensed into a person, dressed almost the same as the former, except that the color of the clothes was black, short and fat, dark skin, and holding a black stick in his hand.
The two of them moved their limbs and twisted their necks. When they saw Linghu Chengye in front of them, they laughed. Bai Wuchang bit his tongue and said, "Manager Linghu, why did we ignite this card? Let us brothers hold it in it so hard."
The two characters in front of me have seen Linghu Chengye in TV series. Needless to say, they should be the legendary black and white impermanence. The white one is Bai Wuchang, also called Xie Bi'an, and the black one is called Hei Wuchang. The famous Fan Wuxue, both of them are enchanted by soul-catching messengers, who specialize in catching ghosts who have died in the world who have wandered around the world after they die.
Linghu Chengye opened his mouth wide and looked at the two people with strange expressions in front of him. He swallowed and spitted, calmed down and said, "Who is so attentive? You dress up like a lot? Don't tease me, dress up like this, while the smoke in my room is getting thick and scared me? Okay, I'm scared, take off quickly, look at your face, go back and wash it, how uncomfortable!" Seeing Hei Bai Wuchang standing in place without any intention of leaving, he said, "Okay, I'll take a photo for you two to leave." After that, he picked up the camera placed on the table.
Just as Linghu Chengye was focusing, his heart suddenly hurt and his breathing began to become difficult. The two black and white figures in front of him suddenly became blurred. His limbs and hands were unable to lift their strength. The camera fell to the ground. He grabbed the head of the bed, stood up with difficulty, walked forward and clenched his back teeth and said, "Pretend to be a ghost!"
Bai Wuchang heard Linghu Chengye explaining, "Manager Linghu, you should follow us quickly. It's getting late. We have to set off sooner. If we go back late, the King of Hell will blame us, and we can't afford to take it."
"I won't follow you. If you have the ability, catch me!" Linghu Chengye felt a burst of pain all over his body, and the pain seemed to leave him.
Hei and Bai Wuchang looked at each other, shook his hands, and two iron chains flew out from their wide cuffs. The two iron claws in the front section of the two iron chains were respectively tucked into the flesh and blood at the collarbone under Linghu Chengye's neck.
The pain dissipated, and Linghu Chengye's whole body suddenly felt light. He looked down and saw that the two cold iron claws had penetrated his skin and were firmly tied to his collarbone. In desperation, he had no time to be afraid. He hurriedly grabbed the two iron claws that were clasped on his collarbone and wanted to remove the iron claws. Only then did he find that there was only a hole where he was pierced, but no blood was seen.
But the pain from the collarbone was clearly real and could not be allowed to think about it carefully. He turned around and grabbed the corner of the table, trying to control his body that was constantly approaching Heibai Wuchang, but he found another person lying by the window, covering his heart with his hands, frowned, and looked extremely painful.
"Am I really dead? How is this possible?" Linghu Chengye was not afraid of this at this point. He competed with Hei Bai Wuchang in his hands and asked angrily: "I have always been healthy, how could I die? Also, I have never done anything that hurts the world. Why do you catch me?"
Bai Wuchang said sternly: "The King of Hell told you to die in the third update, who dares to keep you until the fifth update? Manager Linghu should follow us quickly."
Hei Wuchang frowned and said in a naive manner: "Didn't you read the contents of the invitation? Your life is over. If you hadn't been paving the road and building bridges to benefit the people and accumulating good deeds, you would have died long ago. Now your life is over, the King of Hell has also given you a special kindness and sent you a letter of gratitude, telling you that your life is over, so that you can be prepared in your heart, solve your funeral, and you can still tell your family the bank password if you have time to do these things, and with the burning letter as a guide, I, the two black and white immortals, will be reconciled with you. Now that the time has come, you burned the invitation letter and called out the two of me. If you want to regret it now, don't blame us brothers for being rude."
"What? The King of Hell wrote to me? I didn't read the content!"
Hei and White Impermanence stopped talking about pulling the iron chain and pulled Linghu Chengye in front of him. The three of them opposed each other and began to rotate slowly and rapidly. The things in front of Linghu Chengye began to become distorted, and they were dizzy when they turned around. He felt disgusted in his belly, so he closed his eyes and did not dare to look again. After a moment, everything returned to calm. When Linghu Chengye looked up, a huge stone door stood in front of him in the smoke. On the stone door, there were three words engraved on the golden plaque - Ghost Gate Pass, and a muddy road behind the door led to the distance.
Hei Wuchang pushed Linghu Chengye, who was stunned, and said, "Let's go, the road is still long."
Linghu Chengye hurriedly asked, "Wait a minute, where are you going to take me?"
Bai Wuchang smiled and said, "Where can you go? Of course it is the Yan Luo Palace in the underworld!"
Linghu Chengye felt sad, and he thought to himself: "Am I just dead like this? This must be a dream." He thought this way, but the pain from his collarbone made him awake. He couldn't bear the pain, so he had no choice but to follow Hei Bai Wuchang on the road to the underworld.
The bumpy and muddy dirt road made Linghu Chengye extremely difficult to walk, stumble and stagger. The road seemed to be muddy and slippery after heavy rain, and it was endless. He couldn't help but call the black and white impermanent who were holding the iron chain in front, and said weakly: "Two gods, how many roads are there in front? I really can't walk anymore, why don't we take a break."
"There are no inns on the Huangquan Road, and there is no place for you to rest here. Linghu Chengye, I advise you to cheer up and take a closer look at the road." After saying that, he didn't care whether Linghu Chengye was willing or not, he pulled the iron chain and continued moving forward.
Seeing the two of them being heartbroken, Linghu Chengye sighed helplessly, straightened up, looked down at himself covered in mud, took a deep breath, and stopped talking, regardless of whether it was water or mud, regardless of Hei Bai Wuchang's look at his eyes, dragged his heavy thighs, and fought hard, and overcame the front of Hei Bai Wuchang.
I don’t know how long I have been away, but the sky has been dark and can’t tell whether it is day or night. Linghu Chengyezhi knew that when he was left with a breath, the three of them finally arrived at the Hall of Yama. Linghu Chengye entered the Hall of Yama and saw a man sitting in the middle of the hall with a gloomy face and wearing an official uniform of the dynasty.
He has seen this person in a TV series. His skin color is darker than that of the black and impermanent, and there is a crescent-shaped mark on his forehead. It should be the legendary Bao Qingtian.
The man glanced at the three of them, slapped the awkward on the table, and shouted angrily: "Bold!" The ghost officials around him, who were fierce and of different shapes, were shocked by his slap.
Black and white impermanence, Linghu Chengye was also frightened and his body trembled. Linghu Chengye felt awesome, "Is this going to judge me? I have been doing it right all my life, sitting upright, let's judge, see what he has to say?" Then he raised his chest and looked at the black-faced Yan Luo who was high above.
The King of Hell stared at his eyes as big as a copper bell and shouted: "Bold Black and White Impermanence, I asked you to invite Mr. Linghu. How could you make him look like this? What should you two be guilty?"
Hei Bai Wuchang bowed and knelt on the ground, and the two said in unison: "Please forgive me for your sins." Bai Wuchang continued: "Linghu Chengye did not see the invitation letter you sent..."
"Bold, dare to argue! Someone..."
"I insisted on not following them, so I can't blame them for the two of them." Linghu Chengye interrupted in time.
"Oh? In the lobby, I did not allow you to speak. How dare you defend others? But this also shows that you are an impartial person, black and white impermanence, you can go down first."
"Yes!" Hei Bai Wuchang stood up and bowed, and left the hall.
"Linghu Chengye!"
“Uh, here.”
"Two years ago, your life was over. I wish you to benefit the people. I have accumulated a lot of good deeds and filled you with two years of life. Now the period has come, your life has ended. It is time to end this life and enter the next life."
"The grass people don't understand something. Why did I always have good health and accumulate good deeds? How could I die in such a short lifespan that I died in eleven years after my thirties?"
"You are a short-lived ghost in this life. The life and death book records your death - sudden death!"
"I was caught by the black and white Wuchang with the iron chain claws. Why did I die suddenly?"
"You are wrongly accusing the two immortals of Hei and White. Their soul-catching claws are only catching ghosts. If your life is not over, Black and White Impermanence will not do anything to you."
"But I..."
King Yama slapped the agglomeration wood and interrupted Linghu Chengye and said, "You are rich in your previous life, but you are vicious and have committed many evil deeds. You have only ended up with a short life in this life. Do you still want me to remind you? Although you have good rewards for your kindness, your love disaster is bumpy, and your life span is short, your karma is still quite good. I will judge you to be reincarnated in the animal realm." After saying that, he took out the order to still pay attention to Linghu Chengye.
"Beast path? Then I can't be a human being? Sir, I have never done anything bad, why is this ending?"
"Bold, I think of you doing good deeds in the world, send a message to you, and order Black and White Impermanence to pick you up. You contradicted me several times in the lobby. It seems that you did not see the coffin and did not shed tears. I have returned your memories of your previous life, you can see it yourself!" After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and a golden light penetrated into Linghu Chengye's mind, and then said, "You have done too much evil in your previous life, and you have not paid it back in this life. Let's pay it back again in the next life." After saying that, the King of Hell stood up and was about to leave.
Linghu Chengye couldn't believe it and found that there was a scene of a bully bullying and dominating the market and killing people and robbing people in his mind. He suddenly recalled his life experience, but he still felt unwilling to kneel down and said loudly, "Sir, the villain knows his mistake. I don't want to go to the beast path. Please give me kindness!"
The King of Hell stood there and frowned and said, "How dare you...but I have no such precedent! How can you give me kindness to you?"
Zhan Zhao, the guard who had been standing beside Lord Bao, bowed and said, "Sir, I have an idea. I don't know whether to speak or not."
"Oh? You might as well tell me."
When Linghu Chengye heard that there was hope, he wiped his tears and looked at Zhan Zhao gratefully. Zhan Zhao looked at Linghu Chengye and bowed to Lord Bao, "Now there are so many ghosts in the world. The Huangquan Road is too difficult to walk, which greatly reduces the efficiency of restraining lonely ghosts. If someone can help us to repair the Huangquan Road, can we keep that person in this name? Once we can stay and organize the construction of the Huangquan Road, this contribution will definitely be quite good. At that time, the adults can also have reason to give him kindness. This may be a way to prevent Linghu Chengye from entering the animal realm." Zhan Zhao's voice was not loud, and it was just enough to let Linghu Chengye listen to it completely.
Hearing this, the King of Hell nodded and said, "Well, this is a bit reasonable. Linghu Chengye, are you willing to stay and do this?"
"I am willing, I am willing. I am in the road and bridge construction industry in this life. Don't worry, I will definitely do it. As long as I can prevent me from entering the animal realm and have the opportunity to return to the human realm, I can do whatever I do." Linghu Chengye kowtowed at this time like pounding garlic, and one hundred willing.
The King of Hell stood up and walked down, helped him up and smiled and said, "Okay! From today on, I will accept your appointment as the commander-in-chief of the Huangquan Road construction project. You will be in charge of the construction matters alone. Linghu Chengye. This important task will be handed over to you now. You can rest for a day and think about how to start. If you have any difficulties, come and tell me. Do you understand?"
Linghu Chengye wiped away the cold sweat from the other end and squeezed out a smile and said, "Chengye understands it. Thank you for your promotion. I will devote myself to it and be heartbroken." After saying that, he let out a long sigh, and sighed in his heart that he was almost thrown into the beastly path and became a pig or dog.
Lord Bao also announced that the Huangquan construction project was officially launched. For a moment, hundreds of ghosts cheered and deafening. Lord Bao also patted Linghu Chengye on the shoulder with a smile. Linghu Chengye lamented the ups and downs of life in his heart. For a moment, he was at a loss and stood there, letting the cheers and shouts of the ghosts in the Hall of Yama hit his eardrums...
How will Linghu Chengye, who has become a ghost, build the Yellow Spring Road and deal with ghost subordinates?
