Seeing the one-horned, big-eyed ghost’s expression at this moment, this laugh.
He looked very happy.
But Old Mo and I only felt a chill.
Still, I maintained my composure, cupped my fists, and said:
"This humble Taoist Yin Ze, may I ask your name?"
The one-horned, big-eyed ghost chuckled and then tossed his phone over.
I caught it.
On it was a large character, "Victory."
At the same time, Li Shiyao's voice rang out:
"Qin Ze, you played really well. You won even with Mo Ting going AFK."
I felt awkward, but I had no mind to respond to Li Shiyao at this moment.
I directly turned off the phone without replying.
Fearing she might say something else and offend the esteemed presence before me, leading to my soul being spirited away.
The one-horned, big-eyed ghost straightened his back and touched his red horn:
"It's nothing. I am Yin, an emissary of the Underworld, under the City God's command.
The three before me are my brothers: Mei, Wang, and Liang."
Upon hearing this, Old Mo and I looked over.
The moment we did, Old Mo and I felt another shock.
Where the offering table had been empty just moments ago,
With a flash of black mist, three more ghosts appeared.
They were of similar height, build, and baldness, all with a single horn.
Only the white characters on their chests differed.
The three ghosts stood before the table, enjoying the offerings.
But their appearances had distinct features.
The ghost with "Chi" on its chest had bull-like eyes.
The ghost with "Mei" on its chest had dog-like ears.
The ghost with "Wang" on its chest had a pig's nose.
The ghost with "Liang" on its chest had a camel's mouth.
These four ghosts together had bull eyes, dog ears, a pig's nose, and a camel's mouth.
Add to that their single horns, bald heads, shriveled skin, and gaunt frames.
No wonder "Chi Mei Wang Liang" is used in folklore to describe bad things.
With the appearance of these four ghosts, even the ugliest F4 on Douyin would have to kneel and call them their grandmasters.
Seeing these four ghosts, Old Mo and I couldn't help but gasp.
But we also knew that these four ghosts were not simple, nor were they to be trifled with.
As the foremost among the twenty-four ghosts, including "Qi Kui Ba Xiao,"
The "Chi Mei Wang Liang" quartet were renowned specters and emissaries in both the Yin and Yang realms.
They were very famous in folk legends...
Thinking of this, I quickly regained my senses.
I steadied my emotions.
Hurriedly nudging Old Mo,
I cupped my fists again towards Chi in front and Mei, Wang, and Liang behind:
"So you are four high officials of the Netherworld. We have long admired you.
Tonight, we have prepared a small spread of delicacies, wine, and some silver and incense.
We hope that you four emissaries will not find it lacking and will enjoy yourselves to the fullest."
"Yes, yes, please don't find it lacking."
Old Mo echoed.
Though very nervous, he could feel his excitement at this moment.
These four ghosts were legendary emissaries.
Not everyone had the good fortune to see them.
The Chi ghost emissary widened his eyes:
"Not bad, not bad. You two are very perceptive. The food and wine are decent! It's just that your gaming skills are not very good."
He spoke with a somewhat sarcastic tone, his voice grating.
But as they were ghost emissaries, we naturally couldn't offend them, especially since we needed their help.
"Heh heh heh, compared to Lord Chi, we are naturally far inferior.
If Lord Chi wishes to play, shall we start another match?"
The Chi Yin emissary waved his hand:
"No, it will soon be the Hour of the Rabbit.
We must descend.
We shall battle another day."
As he spoke, he floated towards the offering table.
Old Mo and I quickly made way.
Watching him float to the offering table.
At the offering table, the three Yin emissaries were still eating the offerings.
At this moment, the dog-eared Yin emissary with "Mei" on its chest said:
"You two, who is the Yang Emissary of No. 81 on the Path to the Underworld?"
Hearing this, I stepped forward hastily:
"Replying to Lord Mei, it is this humble Taoist."
As I spoke, I activated the Yin-Yang Emissary token.
Instantly, a golden, ethereal scroll-like token appeared before me.
The four ghost emissaries glanced at it.
They seemed to have confirmed my identity as a semi-Yin official.
The pig-nosed Yin emissary with "Wang" on its chest, while biting into a hamburger, spoke:
"Oh! Not bad.
To become a Yang Emissary at such a young age, you have a bright future.
It will be easier to get a position when you descend later."
"Thank you for your high regard, Lord Wang."
I thanked him again.
And the last, the camel-mouthed Yin emissary with "Liang" on its chest.
While eating skewers, he smacked his lips and said:
"You brat, setting up offerings here and inviting us emissaries to enjoy them.
Is there something you need help with?"
Finally, the main topic was brought up.
I did not hesitate and cupped my fists again:
"Lord Liang is correct.
This humble Taoist has indeed encountered some trouble.
And hopes that you four lords can help resolve it."
The four Yin emissaries, Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang, upon hearing my words, took the offerings from the table and exchanged glances.
Their expressions were clearly not favorable.
It made one feel strange.
After a pause of two to three seconds, the bull-eyed Chi Yin emissary spoke:
"Brat, considering you are a Yang Emissary and have provided this meal of offerings.
This Yin emissary will listen first.
If it's just some trivial nonsense.
We won't get involved."
Upon hearing this, Old Mo quickly picked up the Qiankun bag beside him.
I said:
"Four lords, we previously apprehended over a hundred ghosts in a gambler's den.
It's difficult to distinguish them at once, to tell who is good and who is evil.
We wish to send them down together, but our cultivation is insufficient.
However, if we release them, we fear we might make a mistake.
Therefore, we lit the incense, hung the soul banners, and invited passing emissaries for assistance.
We hope you can escort these minor ghosts down and hand them over to Judge Master for review.
In this way, the good and bad will naturally become clear.
Good ghosts will be rewarded, and evil ghosts will be punished..."
"Yes, yes, we trouble you four lords."
Old Mo also chimed in.
The four ghosts, Chi, Mei, Wang, and Liang, seemed to not think much of it.
Only the Mei Yin emissary moved its dog-like ears:
"Release them first to have a look!"
Hearing this, Old Mo quickly removed the seal and loosened the rope.
Instantly, a gust of Yin wind blew.
From the Qiankun bag, streams of black and white mist emerged.
As this mist touched the ground, it directly transformed into male and female souls.
In the blink of an eye, before us,
More than a hundred ghosts appeared in a dense mass...
