Chapter 8, Life and death are impermanent

The two light words made Zhang Baoren feel a little heavier in his heart.

From Jiang Feng's words, we can vaguely see some general trends between practitioners. We must take sides and separate you and me.

Either the enemy or us.

It can also be said in other words...

Not us...

Then it's the enemy!

This simple and crude division position made Zhang Baoren, who had traveled through time, feel very terrified, "Is the situation already like this?"

"I'm afraid that it's also related to this when I'm joining the underworld so easily..."

He couldn't help but feel that his life would probably not be as calm as before...

The two of them first went up the second floor from the tea room and the lounge and entered a room.

Here, Zhang Baoren met a middle-aged man wearing a black Confucian shirt, a white face, a serious face without any expression.

In front of this person, even Jiang Feng's reckless nature restrained and changed his rules.

"Prime Minister Song Tong, this is a new member, come here to report to you."

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he stepped aside.

When the magistrate Song Tong looked at Zhang Baoren when he heard this, his eyes that were calm and deep, as if he could see through everything made him feel a little scared, and then he moved away.

"Zhang Baoren, are you sure you want to join the underworld?" Song Tongzong's voice was low and gentle, but there was an undeniable power, which made people dare not question his words and dare not lie.

Zhang Baoren, who had no way out, took a deep breath and said decisively, "Yes."

"Very good..." Song Tong nodded, and a smile appeared on his cold and frosty face.

Then he took the covenant certificate that Zhang Baoren had already prepared, and used his finger as his pen and his heart as his ink. On the covenant certificate, he wrote down the "yinsi" at the place where he was in charge.

He also wrote "Impermanence" in his identity position.

Then he solemnly handed the certificate of magistrate to Zhang Baoren, "It must be remembered that from then on, life and death will be impermanent."

"Never forget."

Zhang Baoren took the certificate of tribute that was as light as paper and as heavy as a mountain with both hands.

It was not until he left the door of the room where Song Tongzong was and walked for a while that Jiang Feng patted his chest and let out a few strong breaths.

"I don't know why, every time I see this person, I feel frightened.

If it weren't for you this time, I wouldn't have come up."

"I'm really bothering Brother Jiang." Zhang Baoren thanked Jiang Feng.

"But what is this magistrate Song Tong?"

"He..."

Jiang Feng frowned and thought for a while, then said, "You should have heard some rumors about the underworld before, right?"

Zhang Baoren nodded and said, "I have learned a little."

Not to mention the past life, Zhang Baoren has also heard some legends about the underworld that are circulated among the people.

King of Yama, Mengpo soup; cow head and horse face, black and white impermanence...

However, these legends seem to be somewhat different from what we see today.

"Then you must know the 'judge'." Jiang Feng smiled.

Zhang Baoren was stunned at first, then as if he had thought of something, he asked, "Is it just that Punishment Song Tong..."

"That's right!"

Jiang Feng nodded, "There are ten major judges in the entire underworld, hundreds of minor judges. Song Tong is a minor judge."

"Existence will leave traces, not to mention that there are so many insiders, so those legends are not all false, and they also contain some truth."

"However, the reason why I am so... respectful, respectful to Punishment Song Tong is that from the perspective of a cultivator, his strength is also one of the three strongest people in the Underworld Branch of Babaili City."

"Three people? The other two are..." Zhang Baoren asked curiously.

"One of the other two is the boss, and the other is the ghost old man. You have seen it."

Lei Mingchun and the old man lying in the paper flower shop rose in his heart. Zhang Baoren nodded and expressed his understanding.

As the two of them spoke, they arrived at the door of the room they had just passed when they came in.

Jiang Feng reached out and knocked on the door twice. Seeing that everyone in the door stopped the work at hand and looked at it, he took Zhang Baoren in.

"Everyone, this is a new colleague, everyone knows it."

"Smack it..."

Everyone stood up and applauded. Compared to Parliament Song, the new colleagues here were undoubtedly much more cordial and enthusiastic.

After the applause stopped, Zhang Baoren also stepped forward to introduce himself, "Hello everyone, I am 'Zhang Baoren' and a new member."

"Hello, my name is Jiang Jun, and I can also call me General. I will take care of the accounts in the mansion at present, and your salary will be collected from me at that time." A slightly fat middle-aged woman introduced first.

A thin man introduced, "I am Wang Yan, responsible for logistics, and I will collect all the clothes and equipment from me..."

A young girl smiled and said, "I am Li Hong, responsible for the archives..."

"I am……"

"I am……"

With the introduction of everyone, Zhang Baoren nodded repeatedly.

Each of these people is very enthusiastic, and not superficially enthusiastic. He can clearly feel the kindness these people exude to him.

But what is strange is that these kindness seems to contain some special emotions, such as respect, pity, yearning, and discomfort...

Another point is that these people seem to be ordinary people, and Zhang Baoren has not sensed any of the same traits as Lei Mingchun, Jiang Feng and others from them.

After a brief introduction, Zhang Baoren has a simple understanding of the underworld and these people.

Then he left a body size information from Wang Yan and the style he usually wore, and was told to come and pick it up tomorrow.

Then he was told about his salary from Jiang Jun...

"Your salary is now one tael of silver per month. After the probation period is over, your salary will double. Do you have any other opinions?"

"No...no comments." Zhang Baoren waved his hand quickly.

"Okay, things are settled so far. I will receive the tribute for fifteen every month. Don't forget it then."

"Okay...Okay..."

Until the procedures for joining the company were completed and after saying goodbye to everyone, Zhang Baoren's heart was shocked by the money had not completely calmed down.

One liang, even two liang, such a generous salary really shocked him. Although he knew that the legendary "underworld" and this special institution must be extraordinary, he did not expect that it would be so extraordinary...

Even Xiao Wuchang, who had just joined the job, could give so much salary.

Reality is not a novel, the weight of this tael of silver is not light at all. You should know that Zhang Baoren’s annual food and clothing cost is only one tael of silver.

Over the years, the supply of good men and women has been reduced by deducting their consumption, and the two generations of their master and apprentice have saved up more than six taels of silver in total.

Now he works in the underworld for one month, and if he works for two months, it will be equivalent to his decades of wealth, which makes Zhang Baoren really unable to calm down.

Such a high salary completely reversed the slightest anger he had when he joined the underworld due to semi-coercion, and even made him look forward to his future life.

This is not how greedy Zhang Baoren is. He is a quiet and free Taoist priest who can't consume much on weekdays, nor is he a big shot.

The reason why he is so eager for money now is because of the information that came from that heavenly book after "killing the three corpses" Xiaocheng...

But what price does such a generous reward cost?

"I don't know what my next job is?" Zhang Baoren asked.

Jiang Feng said: "You are new to the job now. You need to understand the "reality" of the underworld and this 'world' first, and then learn with the team and slowly become a qualified 'impermanence'."

"Impermanence..." Zhang Baoren suppressed the absurdity and weirdness in his heart and said, "We are the legendary black and white impermanence."

Jiang Feng said with some joking and gloating, "Why, are you very excited?"

As he said that, he patted Zhang Baoren on the shoulder, "You will understand in the future, impermanence, impermanence. Once you enter this journey, life and death will be impermanent."

The two of them came to the lounge and found a chair to sit down. Jiang Feng poured two cups of tea and pushed the fruit plate in front of Zhang Baoren.

Then ask, “How much do you know about the truth of this world… about all things hidden in the darkness beyond the world?”

Thinking of his peaceful and peaceful first half of his life, Zhang Baoren shook his head, "It was the first time I saw a 'ghost' last night."

Jiang Feng asked again, "What about the underworld? What about the heaven? I am not referring to the stories in myths and legends."

Zhang Baoren replied blankly, "I still know nothing."

Jiang Feng frowned, held his forehead with his hands, and after thinking for a while, he asked again, "Then as a practitioner who has entered the path of practice, as a Taoist priest, you shouldn't know nothing about practice and 'Taoist priest', right?"
