Chapter 562 Boss Zhou's Hidden Treasure!!!
Her cursing was really down-to-earth,
All sorts of dirty talk constantly popping out.
If you were in the countryside and you ran into someone's vegetable garden and trampled all over it, they would definitely curse you like that.
Actually, it wasn't about how much was lost, the key thing was the energy of ruining things, that was the most infuriating.
The ghost messengers who were present,
Looked extremely docile now, but in their localities, they were all "the emperor is far away" types, and naturally they were furious at being lectured like grandsons by a strange girl.
But the inspecting officers standing at the very front,
Were all focusing their minds,
As if they hadn't heard a thing.
Transcending the mundane,
Patiently enduring insults,
If you didn't know better,
You'd think that the underworld's grassroots officials were truly willing to be oxen for the people.
Zhou Ze turned his body slightly to the side.
翠花er having a field here to grow vegetables and make pickled cabbage,
Could only be considered a coincidence.
However, at this time, it was best not to be seen by that girl,
Otherwise, with that girl's intelligence,
She would probably shout out directly:
"You bastard who screwed me, what are you doing here!"
Fortunately,
There were a lot of people here,
And 翠花er was cursing with gusto,
So she didn't notice Zhou Ze in the crowd.
"I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to run into a bunch of jinxes like you!"
Her mouth was dry,
Her breath was short,
She was a little tired from cursing,
翠花er swayed as she walked away carrying her basket,
She still had to go back and make pickled cabbage noodles for Fourth Master,
She couldn't delay too long here,
If she made Fourth Master's stomach hungry,
The sin would be too great.
After 翠花er walked far away,
Zhou Ze saw the inspecting officers standing at the very front collectively relax their shoulders,
And exhale a long breath.
It seemed,
An Lawyer was right,
Not all inspecting officers were the same.
As a man who could scheme against An Lawyer – Feng Si,
He obviously was thriving in Hell,
Even the personal maid under him,
Could point at a bunch of inspecting officers' noses and curse wildly!
About half an hour passed,
The inspecting officers in the very front suddenly knelt down together,
Propping themselves up with both hands,
Respectfully saying:
"Greetings, Lord!"
The three hundred ghost messengers present were immediately stunned,
And then collectively knelt down on one knee.
The main character,
The big shot who organized this training,
Had finally arrived.
Zhou Ze also knelt down, but still deliberately raised his head to peek forward,
But he didn't see anyone,
And then,
His gaze went upwards,
In the air,
There was a middle-aged man wearing yellow official robes and a square hat,
Holding a brush in one hand,
And a ledger in the other,
Walking down slowly from the sky.
Each step he took,
Seemed to be stepping on the hearts of the people below,
Very light,
But very powerful,
Perhaps it was the pressure he himself brought,
Or perhaps it was the shadow brought by the title of "Judge,"
In short,
The people below,
The ghost messengers who had been trying to sneak a peek,
One by one had to lower their heads,
As if someone had pressed their hands on their skulls,
Pressing them down hard.
Lao Zhang couldn't hold on any longer, lowered his head, and turned his face to look at his boss next to him,
Only to find that the boss had long since lowered his head to study the Hell-produced Chinese cabbage on the ground.
"…………" Lao Zhang.
The brush and the ledger collided,
And actually emitted the sound of a bell,
In an instant,
Everyone only felt their minds empty,
As if all dust had been removed.
Zhou Ze licked his lips, and only felt that if this Judge went to the human world, and started something like Qianbao or Super Project 101,
He would definitely be very successful.
"Rise."
Judge Lu spoke.
Everyone slowly got up, their movements were very slow.
Zhou Ze was the last to stand up, because he found that the Chinese cabbage on the ground seemed to have been eaten by insects.
Were there also pests in Hell?
"Today, I called you here for only one thing;
I need people,
I need my people,
I need excellent people,
I will promise you high positions and generous salaries,
I will give you the opportunity to rise to the sky in one step,
What you have to do today,
Is in front of me,
Show your excellence!"
Very straightforward, and very direct, completely cutting to the chase.
Originally, Zhou Ze thought that this Judge Lu was going to look back with everyone at the development achievements of Hell in the past five years,
And then look forward to the beautiful blueprint of Hell's future together,
And pull out the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Ten Kings of Hell, oh no, the Kings of Hell, to praise them for their merits, and then talk about the real business.
Unexpectedly,
The man was quite decisive.
The general meaning was,
I have money,
I want to recruit soldiers!
Moreover,
When this Judge Lu spoke, he seemed to carry a special rhythm, which seemed to be able to affect people's emotions. In short, Zhou Ze found that Lao Zhang next to him was even breathing heavily.
Tsk tsk,
Why wasn't I affected?
It seems that I've seen through it all,
Fame and fortune,
Are dust and dirt.
Just a little water,
Not worth mentioning.
Several inspecting officers stood behind Judge Lu, a total of five inspecting officers, their clothes were all uniform, all in the style of ancient windbreakers, but they were all different colors.
This could not help but make Zhou Ze suspect Judge Lu's aesthetic,
The people under him were dressed in all sorts of colors,
Cosplaying the Powerpuff Girls?
"In front of this, is a famous ancient site in Hell;
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once came here to mourn,
The Ten Kings of Hell have all entered it,
Above the rank of inspecting officer,
It seems that no one hasn't entered this place.
Back then,
This place was full of restrictions,
But the most terrifying restrictions have long been broken by past generations,
Most of the treasures contained within have also been taken away by predecessors,
But here, there are still many hidden secrets,
There are still many lost treasures,
Of course,
There are also many unexpected dangers.
Today,
I will open the door to this ancient site for you,
I will give you seven days,
After seven days,
I will open the door again!
You will show me your gains in front of me,
It can be insights,
It can also be treasures,
Or other opportunities.
Also,
A reminder,
The eyes of the underworld are indeed everywhere,
But inside here,
Is one of the few locations that the underworld cannot see through!"
Hearing these words, Zhou Ze's gaze immediately condensed,
And many ghost messengers' expressions suddenly changed,
The underlying meaning of this sentence was,
Inside,
Ghost messengers can compete with each other, plunder, and kill,
Without worrying about being held accountable afterwards!
How ruthless.
Zhou Ze sighed in his heart,
Using three hundred ghost messengers to filter out the best,
What he needed to rebuild the Ninth Hall was only a group of backbones,
Therefore,
He really didn't mind how many ghost messengers died as a result.
In fact, ghost messengers were indeed expendable items for the underworld's high-level officials, somewhat like the puppet troops of the past.
Judge Lu's way of doing things was really straightforward,
After finishing speaking about the trial content,
He turned around directly,
Spread out his hands,
Only to hear a "boom" sound,
The gate of the palace in front,
Was slowly pushed open at this moment,
But it didn't open completely,
Only opening a small two-meter-long slit.
"Enter."
Judge Lu urged.
"Enter!"
The five inspecting officers stood to the left and right,
Like shepherds herding sheep for the landlord.
A group of ghost messengers,
Standing in line,
Like returning to a sheepfold,
Obediently walked inside.
Baa…
Zhou Ze reached out and pulled Lao Zhang, signaling Lao Zhang to follow him closely.
It was very likely to be chaotic inside,
According to the previous introduction by that Judge,
This palace should have been the residence of a big shot in the past,
Then the big shot fell,
The big shots who came later would come here to try their luck,
To unlock the restrictions,
Those that could be moved were moved away,
The big shots grabbed the big fish,
The small fries grabbed the small fish,
Their three hundred ghost messengers,
Were going in to look for plankton.
After walking through the gate,
The view in front of them suddenly opened up!
What came into view,
Was a desolate plaza,
Somewhat damaged, somewhat old,
But you could still imagine the oppressive feeling of majesty,
It was hard to imagine,
What a grand sight it must have been when this place was at its peak?
A dozen very confident ghost messenger colleagues directly swept toward the depths, as if they were afraid that if they were a step late, the good stuff would be snatched away by others.
They were really full of confidence.
But most of the ghost messengers slowly walked inside together,
Having just entered a strange place,
Everyone was still very careful and wary.
Some ghost messengers who seemed to know each other before were already silently gathering together, planning to form groups to advance and retreat together, watching out for each other.
Zhou Ze directly sat down on the steps after entering the gate,
Lao Zhang sat next to Zhou Ze.
The two of them were like lazy tourists visiting the Forbidden City,
Sighing that the emperor's house was really big,
How much property tax would he have to pay?
"Together?"
A woman wearing a white dress walked up to Zhou Ze and extended an invitation to Zhou Ze.
A person's name, a tree's shadow,
The reputation of the Tongcheng ghost messengers was great, so naturally some people were willing to come up and team up.
There were also two male ghost messengers standing next to this woman, who looked like they had a decent bearing.
Those who didn't think they were worth much weren't embarrassed to ask Zhou Ze to team up.
Boss Zhou waved his hand,
And said:
"You're not worthy."
"…………" The woman.
They left, without flying into a rage, and without leaving any harsh words.
This made Zhou Ze feel a little bored.
Usually, he was low-key, low-key, and even more low-key, but there were always people who didn't know what was good for them who came to cause him trouble. Now that he was high-profile and acting like a big shot, he even wanted to beat himself up,
But no one dared to say a word.
By the pool in the middle of the steps in front of Zhou Ze,
There were two ghost messengers standing,
They seemed to be probing inside.
The pool was very shallow, and closest to the gate they came in through.
Logically speaking,
There shouldn't be anything good here,
After all, predecessors had searched this place over and over again.
But these two seemed to be planning to do the opposite,
Believing that they understood the principle of "the darkest place under the lamp." (idiom: a place where one would least expect to find something).
One of the ghost messengers jumped down directly,
Wanting to feel around in the mud.
Who knew that in that instant,
"Bang!"
A giant python with festering flesh suddenly poked its head out,
Bit off the ghost messenger's head in one bite,
And instantly tore apart the ghost messenger's soul.
In an instant,
The hundred or so ghost messengers nearby who hadn't left,
Collectively looked at this giant python!
No one expected,
That danger,
Was so close to the gate they came in through!
Perhaps the big shots of the past were too lazy to clean up this giant python, so they just left it there. Or perhaps this giant python had recently moved its home and came here.
And after this giant python swallowed a ghost messenger's soul, its only remaining snake eye seemed to scan the surroundings,
It didn't take the initiative to attack again,
It didn't even pay attention to the ghost messenger who was closest to it but hadn't come down,
But instead, it shrank back into the mud.
Lao Zhang watched in astonishment from the side,
Zhou Ze also opened his mouth,
He suddenly felt,
That since he was going to slack off,
He might as well slack off completely.
A colleague died, but it didn't cause too much of a stir. Soon, most of the ghost messengers nearby had walked away.
On the steps,
Only Zhou Ze and Lao Zhang were left,
As well as a young man in sportswear standing not far away.
"Boss, we…………"
"I think sitting here is pretty good, don't you think?"
"Uh…"
"Looks like you agree."
"Heh…heh…heh…"
A familiar voice came from the bottom of his heart.
"You're awake."
"Mm…"
"You're not afraid of being sensed here, and you dare to show your face?"
"Here…………isolated…………"
Zhou Ze suddenly understood,
The Judge Lu had also said before,
That this place was one of the few places that the underworld's eyes couldn't see through,
So Ying Gou dared to come out and show his face at this time.
"Alright, then you continue to rest, I'm also planning to rest. Sleeping in Hell should be more comfortable."
Zhou Ze turned his head,
And said to Lao Zhang again:
"Lao Zhang, you haven't slept in a long time, right? It's not good to always meditate. Take this opportunity to get a good night's sleep,
Seven days,
Is enough for a Golden Week."
"Uh, okay…"
Since the boss told you to slack off,
Then,
Just slack off.
When the black-clothed youth who hadn't left yet turned his head to look,
He found on the steps behind him,
In a position less than two meters away from the gate they came in through,
Two people,
Were already lying there preparing to sleep.
"…………" The black-clothed youth.
The youth was a little puzzled,
Then he smiled,
And then,
He also lay down,
Seeming to be planning to sleep together as well.
Boss Zhou opened his eyes at this time,
Looking at the youth sleeping not far below,
A sense of vigilance suddenly arose in his heart.
He was passively goofing off here,
What about that guy?
The same as him?
Did he see through it?
No,
It shouldn't be.
"He…………is…………waiting…………for…………someone…………to…………return…………"
Waiting for someone to return?
Zhou Ze took a deep breath,
Was he guarding a tree stump waiting for a rabbit? (idiom: to wait idly for opportunities).
Others were going to search, to try their luck, to rely on their own opportunities,
He was just waiting here,
Because in seven days,
Everyone would have to go out here.
Was he waiting for people to bring things to him?
Was he that confident?
Two slackers,
Were assigned to a dormitory with a top student,
Life always felt a little uncoordinated.
"Boss, are we really not going inside to take a look?"
Lao Zhang had a feeling that since they came, they should take a photo and check in.
"It's very dangerous inside." Zhou Ze said, looking at the black-clothed youth who was lying down. This person seemed even more dangerous.
The most deadly thing was,
What if he thought that he and Zhou Ze had the same plan,
And suddenly one day got up,
And wanted to have a duel with him,
To compete for the qualification to guard a tree stump waiting for a rabbit?
Zhou Ze sat up again,
Felt his pockets, no cigarettes.
Feeling a little annoyed,
He looked towards the depths of the palace,
To be honest,
He still had a bit of an impulse to try his luck,
His family was poor,
And Yingying was still waiting for him to find something to buy rice and cook.
"By the way, Lao Ying, do you know what this place is?
Have you been here before?
Or can you sense if there are any undiscovered treasures inside?"
"My…………home…………"
