During these days when Jiang Lin was working hard and practicing through the tutorial.
The mortal realm.
Li Suo had already picked up so much money his hands were sore.
He simply couldn't believe that so many people in the mortal realm were burning joss paper aimlessly now!
This rain of money filling the sky!
Heavens, his dream had come true.
Li Suo not only picked it up himself but also called his younger brother, Dang Ran, to join him in picking up money.
When Dang Ran found out, he was even more shocked than Li Suo.
"Brother, we're picking up money! Picking up money! In all my years as a ghost, I never knew you could actually pick up money!"
And it was a rain of money, pick it up as you please!
There was no need to worry about the owner coming back to settle accounts.
"Brother, am I dreaming?"
Dang Ran looked at the thick stack of money in his hand and subconsciously swallowed.
This was all money!
So much money...
How much meat could they buy with this...
It could directly solve their debts...
They could also cause trouble as they pleased, buy whatever they wanted.
Having money was simply heaven!
*Bang!*
A tiger fist was smashed directly into Dang Ran's forehead, sending him flying.
The moment he was sent flying, Dang Ran's first instinct was to protect the money in his hands.
*Boom—*
Dang Ran crashed onto the ground, a red mark appearing on his forehead.
Li Suo stood above, retracted his fist, put his hands on his hips, and looked at him, smiling.
"How is it, still a dream?"
Dang Ran wasn't angry. He jumped up and first checked the money in his arms.
Seeing that the money was undamaged, he then grinned at Li Suo.
Grinning, he said, "Not a dream, this is even happier than a dream! I've never felt so comfortable, not even in my dreams!"
"Let's go, to the next place," Li Suo said.
The brothers utilized their advantages and began searching the mortal realm.
This was the first time they had worked so happily and proactively.
"Brother, this way!" Dang Ran pointed towards the west.
In terms of meat and money, Dang Ran was even more enthusiastic and perceptive than Li Suo.
For Dang Ran,
Perhaps only meat could rival this taste in the world.
As the brothers flew in that direction, they saw a rain of money starting to fall from afar.
Blown by the wind, it swirled and fluttered for a while before lightly landing on the ground.
"Quick!"
The brothers immediately became excited, their faces filled with unconcealed joy.
...
West.
The place where the money rain was falling was the backyard of a house. The house was two stories tall, with a yard in front and back.
The front yard was planted with various flowers and plants, while the backyard had a grape trellis, a swing, and a round table.
The money rain began to fall in a clear space next to the stone round table.
As Li Suo and Dang Ran approached, the money rain became more abundant, and the rate at which it fell increased.
The brothers' hearts filled with excitement.
They accelerated to their fastest speed, charging forward like cannonballs.
A gust of wind blew.
The surrounding money rain was almost blown away.
Dang Ran quickly reached out and grabbed all the money into his pockets, not missing a single piece.
His hands moved so fast they became a blur.
"So much money, so much money..."
Li Suo and Dang Ran couldn't help but chuckle as they picked up the money.
And next to the stone table,
A young man, dressed fashionably with curly hair, was burning joss paper incessantly.
As he burned it, he occasionally glanced around.
It was already late at night.
There were no streetlights nearby, so it was pitch black, with only the faint light of the moon.
...And the cluster of flames in front of the young man.
The ashes from the burnt areas swirled up and spun above the flames.
The young man's face was illuminated by the firelight. He looked around at the eerie and terrifying scene.
A chilling wind blew.
Strangely, although his mind was clear that the scene was eerie, he felt no fear in his heart.
He had a kind of...
Unwavering confidence.
In the words of a streamer, he probably didn't know how many "guts" he had eaten to be so bold.
The young man muttered something as he burned the paper.
He just hoped to finish burning it quickly and go back. If he burned it during the day and his mother found out, he would definitely get a beating.
Li Suo and Dang Ran picked up money twice as fast as the young man burned it.
In a short while, they had collected all the money scattered around the perimeter and were steadily approaching the young man.
—Waiting online to burn money!
As they got closer, Dang Ran also noticed the young man's words.
"Brother, listen."
Dang Ran said, his hands still busy picking up money.
"Hmm?" Li Suo tilted his head to look over.
He heard the young man babbling in front of the flames:
"Friends in the underworld, esteemed ghost messengers, this is all burned for the Southern Palace Underworld..."
"Take it to build houses, eat well, and drink well. Don't be polite."
"Oh, and after you take the money, don't linger too long. If you really want to thank me,
You can also help me send greetings to my ancestors, or help take care of the ghosts below my house. Thank you..."
With that, the young man burned the last of the joss paper.
He looked around, hunched his neck, pulled his collar tighter to block the wind, and then quickly ran into the house.
It was late at night, and it was quite cold.
He should burn joss paper outside during the day in the future. Burning money late at night, although he wasn't scared, always felt a bit strange.
It was like...
Being watched by something.
After the young man entered the house, above the unburnt flames,
Two little figures, looking exactly the same and with sturdy tiger-like heads, were staring intently at the flames below.
"Brother, he said it's for the Southern Palace!"
Dang Ran lay in the air, dangling his feet, in a good mood.
"But the address they filled in is incorrect."
Li Suo looked at the unburnt paper packet, on which the word 'Southern Palace' was faintly written.
"Should we tell them the correct address? That way we can wait to collect the money!" Dang Ran said excitedly.
He even had the urge to tell these humans their own address.
*Thump!*
Li Suo tapped Dang Ran's head. "Of course not."
How could they casually leak the address of the underworld? If humans found out, other things would definitely find out as well.
Most importantly, this could very well bring disaster to these humans who were burning money.
Dang Ran pouted, "I was just saying. Besides... we don't even know why these people started burning money. We can't possibly notify them one by one."
Li Suo raised an eyebrow. Didn't he know?
After Jiang Wuchang arrived at the Southern Palace, apart from Uncle Meng guiding him for a while, it was he who had been leading the way and explaining things to Jiang Wuchang.
Although he guessed it was Jiang Lin, Li Suo felt there was no need to mention it.
Moreover, Lord Zhong Kui must have already received the news.
As a former cultural ambassador of the underworld, Lord Zhong Kui must know much more than him.
"Let's go, let's continue picking up money!" Li Suo called out.
"Mhm! Let's go!"
Dang Ran immediately stood up straight. When it came to picking up money, he was no longer sleepy!
"We have to pick up so much money, fill the lotus bag! If only we had this much money, we could pay off our debts and buy so many good things..."
In the night sky,
Two small figures grew farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
