After confirming that the uncle had the aura of my sister on him, I immediately chased him. Hou Tao and Lingdang didn't slack off either, following closely behind me.

The uncle walked through the noisy central section of East Street and walked straight to the end of the street.

We followed him evasively, but he looked anxious, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, his chest was heaving, and he was walking too fast, as if something urgent had happened.

The uncle stopped in front of a mansion at the end of the street. After hesitating at the door for a while, he walked up the steps to the door of the mansion. Because we were hiding some distance away, we didn't see the words on the plaque of the mansion clearly at once.

There were two gatekeepers standing at the door of this mansion. They stood motionless, each holding a pitch-black sickle as tall as a person in their hands. The blade of the sickle glowed with a faint white light.

Although these two men looked like humans, their expressions were very ferocious, as if they were possessed by evil spirits. As soon as they saw the uncle walking up the steps, they immediately took action. I saw them tilting the two sickles in their hands, and the sickles crossed.

In front of the uncle, blocking his steps.

"Stop! Who is coming?" one of the ghosts asked. "How can wandering spirits like you be allowed to break into our Lord's mansion?!"

As Gui Cha spoke, his expression became even more ugly. The look he looked at the uncle showed contempt and disdain, and his words also emphasized his identity.

The sweat on the uncle's face fell to the ground nervously. He knelt on the ground in fear and responded loudly to the two ghosts: "I hope you two adults can inform me that I have something urgent to do."

Lord Impermanence!"

Hei Wuchang?! These three words immediately exploded in my head, which was hiding not far away and eavesdropping. This mansion turned out to be Hei Wuchang's house.

Now, things are getting serious.

On the other side, as soon as the uncle finished speaking, he took out two sachets from his arms and gave one to each of the two ghost chariots. The ghost chariots held the sachets with one hand, put them under their noses and smelled them.

He showed a comfortable expression.

At this time, the ghosts accepted the uncle's offering and no longer treated him harshly. They only heard one of the ghosts say: "You wait here, I will inform you!"

"Thank you, thank you. I'm sorry to trouble you." The uncle kowtowed to the ghost and stood up from the ground.

A ghost officer immediately ran into the house, apparently to make a report.

I turned my head to Hou Tao and said: "This house is dark and impermanent, what should I do now?"

"Let's take it one step at a time. The most important thing is not to lose the uncle." Hou Tao said directly without thinking. He didn't look at me, his eyes were still staring at the door of the mansion.

Suddenly, Hou Tao pointed to the door of the mansion and said, "Look, the doorman has come out."

I quickly looked around and heard the ghost messenger who had announced the news say to the uncle: "Come in with me." The uncle bowed several times before following him in.

When Hou Tao saw this, he quickly ran towards Hei Wuchang's mansion, saying as he ran: "Hurry up, he's in."

"Lingdang, just stay here. We'll come as soon as we go." I told Lingdang a few words first, and then I followed Hou Tao's pace.

The two of us ran towards the mansion against the wall. When we reached the door, Hou Tao threw out a stone to attract the attention of the ghost. Then we took advantage of this gap and randomly picked a place to step on.

He stepped over the wall of the mansion.

Following the uncle closely all the way, we passed through the front yard of the mansion and arrived at the backyard.

Watching the uncle walk into a house, Hou Tao and I immediately jumped onto the roof of the house.

As soon as I stood firm on the roof of the back courtyard, Hou Tao stopped. His face was full of shock. I glanced at him in confusion, and then subconsciously looked where he was looking.

Suddenly, I was also shocked.

The front yard of this mansion is quite normal, with flowers, grass, and a clear stream. But I didn't expect that there are many large boxes stacked in the backyard. The boxes are colorful and come in all colors. Outside the boxes

All six sides are covered with various landscape pictures, which look really beautiful when you take a quick look.

However, the size of these boxes is a bit scary. Each box is as tall as a person. Several are stacked on top of each other, just like a building. The back yard is filled with such boxes, boxes and boxes.

Stacked together, from the outside of the highest box in the stack, there is a ladder made of rope and wooden sticks.

The side of each box facing the sun is carved with the shape of a door panel, and the ladder hangs just on one side of the door panel of each box. I estimate that there are about ten stacks of boxes.

Looking at this scene, my first feeling is: there are many people living in this box, and there are people living in every box! Those ladders are to facilitate the entry and exit of the people in the box.

Immediately, I was frightened by my own thoughts.

I shook my head, laughed at myself, and cursed myself as an idiot, how could someone live in this box? He is in the underworld, and with such a high official rank, how could he use the box as a house.

"Duanmuyang, do you have a feeling? There's something wrong with those boxes. There seems to be something in them?" Hou Tao said something directly at this moment, which instantly made me sweat.

I sweated and said, "Monkey, don't be kidding me. Why are there things in these boxes?"

Although I said this, I still kept my eyes fixed on those boxes. The human sixth sense told me: There is something on the cliff inside.

"Uh, stop looking. Let's see where the uncle went first." I pushed Hou Tao and quickly turned my eyes away from the box.

Hou Tao nodded and finally stopped staring at the boxes.

He made a silent gesture at me, then walked directly to the edge of the roof and lay down. I knew what he was going to do, so I quickly walked over, stood beside him, and grabbed him from the back.

his ankles to ensure he doesn't fall.

He moved a few more steps toward the edge, and suddenly his entire upper body was exposed outside the eaves. I half-crouched behind him and held on to his feet tightly.

Hou Tao lowered his body and hung on the eaves, looking into the room.

After maintaining this posture for a while, Hou Tao moved his feet. I received the message and pulled him up with a strong hand.

At the same time as he came up, the uncle also walked out of the house. His face looked much better and his pace slowed down. I sniffed with my nose and found that the scent of my sister on the uncle's body had disappeared. It seemed that my sister had been left behind.

In the house.

Hou Tao sat slumped on the roof, his face flushed, obviously due to severe lack of oxygen and reflux of blood.

Hou Tao breathed in the fresh air while telling me what he saw.

It turns out that the uncle came to give Hei Wuchang a red envelope. The uncle died in an accident in his middle age. Because he had accumulated good deeds during his lifetime and did not want to be reincarnated after his death, he settled down in Yincao City.

But just two days ago, he accidentally heard the news about his wife from Gui Cha. His wife had passed away peacefully and came to the underworld.

But because his wife had had multiple abortions during her lifetime, the sin of killing was too serious. According to the rules of the underworld, she would be sent to the seventh floor underground for punishment, but the uncle did not want his wife to suffer.

The uncle loved his wife, but he failed to give her enough love during his lifetime. After his death, he wanted to compensate her. So, after asking around, he learned that his wife was temporarily detained in a prison belonging to Hei Wuchang. After learning the news

, he hurried over and brought a red envelope to Hei Wuchang.

Hou Tao said that the red envelope was an exquisite jade bracelet with a good luster and looked valuable. Unexpectedly, Hei Wuchang accepted the uncle's jade bracelet and still liked it very much.

Hearing this, I was a little confused: Why does Hei Wuchang, a grown man, want a jade bracelet?

There may be a second update later.
