Chapter 248： Wealth during life, happiness after death

Because of the middle-aged male ghost's anger, the atmosphere in the entire garden changed.

The voice of the babbling and singing on the stage was lowered a bit, and the sounds of people drinking and drinking around them also stopped for an instant, as if some power button had been pressed.

In an instant, almost all the ghosts in the yard turned their heads and stared at the three strangers coming from outside.

This ghostly look is really frightening.

But Pei Anzhu didn't care.

If you really want to calculate it, all the ghosts present together are not enough for her to kill alone, so she just smiled and said to the middle-aged male ghost:

"People who are clear don't talk secretly. Although you are not a human being, let's not be secretive."

“If you really liked these miserable, self-pitying dramas, you wouldn’t have built your own mausoleum like this during your lifetime.”

“Am I right, Mr. Song?”

After the words fell, the low temperature lingering around him suddenly stopped, and the voice that had just been suppressed returned to normal. The middle-aged male ghost was startled:

“Are you so sure it’s me? How did you recognize it?”

For others, it may be difficult to find the owner of the tomb among so many people, but for Pei Anzhu, it couldn't be easier:

“I am a member of Xuanmen.”

So, she can easily see through the cultivation level of each ghost.

Although the middle-aged male ghost in front of me looks no different from the others, he seems to be a member of the party who came to attend a banquet and listen to a play, but if you look closely, you will know that he is closely related to this place.

Mr. Song’s expression changed, and his eyes showed some vigilance:

“It turns out that I am an expert, but I still treat it as an ordinary person who accidentally entered my graveyard just like the other days. What? Your Excellency came here today to arrest me?”

Many people in Taoism are like this, adhering to the principle of "eliminate all evil and kill them all". Whenever they encounter ghosts, they want to kill them without leaving any room.

Presumably, Mr. Song has been here for hundreds of years and must have seen a lot of people.

Pei Anzhu shook his head and said with a smile: "If I were really the kind of person you think I am, I wouldn't have followed your rules and come in to watch the show when I first got here."

When Mr. Song heard this, he felt it made sense and asked:

“Then what do you want now?”

"I want to discuss something with Mr. Song." Pei Anzhu said, "I want Mr. Song and all the guests in the garden to return to the underworld with their souls. What do you want Mr. Song to do?"

Mr. Song gradually faded the smile on his face, squinted his eyes and asked:

“Humph, I am living a good life here now. I have never gone out to cause harm to the world, nor have I done anything harmful to the world. I just want to drink with friends and watch a show here. Can’t you tolerate even this?”

"It's not that we can't tolerate it, it's that times have changed." Pei Anzhu said, "Mr. Song, four hundred years have passed since your time."

“So what?” Mr. Song said with a straight face.

how?

Pei Anzhu looked at the stubborn Mr. Song and told him about the outside world -

She talked about the technology outside. Aircraft and cannons could be mass-produced. With one shot, this tomb that was successfully built hundreds of years ago and the mechanisms that he was proud of would be reduced to ashes.

She talked about external policies. The land was nationalized. This grave no longer belonged to the descendants of the Song family. The country could use this land for other purposes at any time. He couldn't guard it.

She talked about peace outside, where everyone has enough food and clothing, and is far away from war. The life he can only live after his death is now a common phenomenon outside.

She talked a lot...

But the most important thing is to analyze the pros and cons:

"I am the one here now, so I am willing to discuss it with you and give you a chance to choose. But if you insist on staying here, people outside will still conduct archaeological excavations on your tomb."

“At that time, the comfortable place you built for yourself after death will no longer exist.”

"If you take action to stop it and hurt innocent people, it will destroy your hundreds of years of peaceful conduct; but if you don't take action, you will become a homeless ghost."

"Master Song, you are a smart man, you should know how to choose." In fact, after entering this tomb, Pei Anzhu saw the layout of this place clearly, and also understood the character of Master Song -

This Mr. Song was obviously wealthy during his lifetime, so he also wanted to be happy after death.

Mr. Song, as a wealthy man at that time, by some chance, came to know that people can become ghosts after death.

He also knew that there were frequent wars at that time, people were dying every day, the ghost mouths of the underworld were exploding, and the ghosts were too busy, so many fish that slipped through the net were stranded in the human world.

Therefore, Mr. Song came up with the idea of ​​staying in the world after death and continuing to live a happy life.

He found a Taoist priest and spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to prepare for his death—

First of all, he needs a geomantic treasure land to build a mausoleum.

The tomb should be built like a five-in-one mansion, just like his residence during his lifetime, so that he can continue to live his life after death.

Secondly, he needs to be buried with a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and various supplies.

Only these things can guarantee his standard of living after death. At least he will not be short of food, clothing, wind, food or dew.

Again, he needed many funeral attendants to serve him.

This is certainly not forced.

He asked the Taoist priest to draw up a causal contract, asking people if they would like to work in his tomb after death. If they were willing, he would sign and sign and give certain financial compensation.

Even if you don’t want to, you won’t force it.

Therefore, Mr. Song used his "money power" to sign causal contracts with hundreds of people, all of whom were his servants after his death.

After they died, the ghosts followed the causal contract and automatically came to Mr. Song’s grave to obey Mr. Song’s orders.

Finally, in order to ensure his peace after death, prevent being disturbed, and prevent tomb robbers, he needed to take certain protective measures for the tomb.

So Mr. Song specially invited Taoist priests to set up some formations on the mausoleum.

That's right, some formations.

Police Officer Du could guess that this place was an illusion at the time, but he never imagined that there were actually three illusions superimposed in this tomb.

The first illusion is the most superficial one, which is an ordinary tomb.

Whether it is an accidental intruder or a tomb robber, after seeing this tomb, they will be confused by the first layer of illusion and think that this is just a worthless small tomb, thus giving up the exploration of this place.

The second illusion is the middle level, which is the level where Pei Anzhu and the others are located.

If someone doesn't want to quit here, but continues to go deeper, he will reach the second level of illusion and be surrounded by ghosts.

Even if Mr. Song and his group of ghosts do not harm anyone, they still have many ways to scare away strangers to protect the safety and integrity of the tomb.

The third illusion is reality.

Only when outsiders dig through the illusion and do not fall into the second level of glitz can they have the opportunity to see the true appearance of this tomb.

The big house with five entrances is beautifully decorated with every inch of land.

Every bit of it is exactly the same as the real house. There are all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry inside, as well as priceless funerary objects. Every item is worth grabbing.

These things are the ultimate goals of tomb robbers and will also arouse the greed of others.
