Chapter 6 My friend, you know
"I just saw Grandpa."
After hearing what his wife said, Sun Fengnian responded subconsciously.
Before tonight, he might have thought that the existence of ghosts in the world was pure nonsense, but now he believed in the existence of the underworld and ghosts as much as ever.
"What? Grandpa wasn't last month?"
Startled by her husband's words, Zhong Xue said with some concern: "Are you too tired recently and have hallucinations?"
As a successor to socialism, Zhong Xue, who works in a civil service unit, does not believe that her grandfather who passed away last month has really appeared.
"I saw it in the live broadcast room. Please don't say anything until I finish asking."
Sun Fengnian waved his hand and said to the anchor who had not yet disconnected the video link without further explanation: "Anchor, thank you for letting me meet my grandfather. Thank you very much. I will send ten rockets later. However, I have some questions now. I wonder if you can help me answer them."
"My dear netizen, I know what you want to ask. I will help you online with some scientific knowledge."
As if he had guessed the other party's question, Huang Yang took the initiative to explain: "The real underworld is not like what everyone imagines, with tall and magnificent cities and deceased ghosts living comfortably in the underworld. According to the current rules of the underworld, all ghosts are equal after entering the underworld and directly queue up in the reincarnation team. The only difference is the amount of merit they have accumulated in their lifetime, which determines their position in the reincarnation team. Therefore, all the items you burn in the mortal world will not appear in the underworld. You can only entrust your thoughts to them as a consolation."
"Well, my grandfather made great contributions to China during his lifetime, and in his later years he also helped many out-of-school children. He should have done a lot of good deeds, and his position in the reincarnation team should be quite high."
After listening to the host's introduction and understanding many of the rules of the underworld, Sun Fengnian suppressed his unnecessary doubts and asked about his grandfather's situation.
"Well, the souls waiting for reincarnation in the underworld are divided into 1000 districts, and each district has 1000 squares. Those who have done good deeds in their lifetime will be arranged in the first 500 districts and will be able to reincarnate within three to five years. And Grandpa Sun's position is in the 888th square of the 658th district. It will take at least eight or nine years before it is his turn to reincarnate."
While answering questions from netizens, Huang Yang felt more emotional.
Heaven and earth are compassionate, but the laws of nature are ruthless. They treat all ghosts equally and do not change the calculation of merits because of the contributions a ghost made to his or her country during his or her lifetime.
"What? Area 888?"
Hearing this answer, Sun Fengnian shouted out in surprise.
At this time, Zhong Xue, who was sitting next to her husband, had already labeled this mysterious anchor as a liar.
You must be kidding. Her husband's grandfather had made outstanding contributions. Even if he really went to the underworld, there was no way he would be assigned such a far back position.
However, Zhong Xue did not interrupt her husband's conversation rashly to avoid being laughed at by netizens.
You know, the number of people in this live broadcast room now exceeds five hundred.
"Grandpa Sun's contribution is for China, but the underworld is not facing China alone. Merit is judged during life, and virtue is judged after death. But for heaven and earth, it is not how much a mortal contributes to his country, but whether his actions are beneficial to heaven and earth. Under the way of heaven, the underworld treats all ghosts equally, and only judges a person's merits based on the good deeds and sins he has done in his life. According to my investigation, Grandpa Sun's merits are negative, and his sins are not low. Therefore, after Grandpa Sun entered the underworld, he was ranked in District 888."
Knowing the other party's confusion, Huang Yang explained in detail.
Although all merits and sins of a ghost are cut off after entering the underworld, the ghost with sins is placed at the back, reincarnates more slowly, and is blown by the cold wind of the underworld for a longer time, which can be considered an indirect punishment.
Compared to the eighteen levels of hell in Chinese legend, today's underworld is much milder. Perhaps it is a defect of the intelligent system, with good and evil being too extreme and sin and virtue difficult to distinguish.
A system without emotion will never be recognized by human beings. Even Huang Yang, the King of Hell, thinks so.
Of course, this also has an advantage, which is that the efficiency of reincarnation of ghosts is greatly increased.
Now, the intelligent system of the underworld is equivalent to completing the judgment of the Ten Kings of Hell with one click, greatly improving the efficiency of the reincarnation of souls.
Even after tens of millions of years of evolution, the efficiency of reincarnation in the underworld has decreased, and the souls that stay in the underworld can last as long as ten years. However, in the era ruled by the Ten Kings of Hell, it was not uncommon for souls with lower merits to stay in the underworld for a hundred years.
However, there seems to be some minor problems with the underworld’s intelligent system.
"Excuse me, host, is there any way to change the order in which my grandfather was reincarnated?"
Having just watched the conversation between the anchor and another netizen, Sun Fengnian also knew that there was a way to remedy the situation.
As a grandson, he was unable to fulfill his filial duty to his grandfather when he was alive. Now that his grandfather's soul has gone to the underworld, he cannot just watch him suffer there forever. What is filial piety? Letting his grandfather's soul reincarnate as soon as possible and feel the warmth of the human world is the greatest filial piety.
"Well, as long as I spend some of my merits, I can still move Grandpa Sun's ranking forward. However, I can only change the ranking of one ghost a day."
Faced with the grandson's question, Huang Yang answered very honestly.
"Okay, please host."
Understanding what the host meant, Sun Fengnian directly recharged 10 yuan into his account.
"Hubby, don't be fooled."
Seeing that her husband was really going to recharge and reward the anchor, Zhong Xue, who was standing next to him, could no longer sit still and quickly spoke up to stop him.
She didn't see her grandfather's ghost just now, she just thought her husband had been deceived.
However, Zhong Xue did not expect that her husband, who was usually calm and experienced, would be fooled so easily.
"Don't worry about it for now. I'll explain it to you later."
Stopping his wife with one hand, Sun Fengnian entered the payment password of his bank card and completed the recharge of 100,000 yuan.
"Hubby, wake up."
Unexpectedly, her husband was so addicted to the deception. Zhong Xue raised her voice a little, trying to wake him up.
One hundred thousand yuan is not a lot for their family, but she was afraid that her husband would be cheated out of more money, and if it got out, he would be laughed at by outsiders.
You know, before her husband resigned from the public institution, he was at least the leader of a district. Now he is the CEO of a listed company, with an annual salary of over one million and shares worth hundreds of millions.
"I am not sleeply."
After the recharge was completed, Sun Fengnian directly turned all the Doubi into rewards.
As long as my grandfather's soul can be reincarnated sooner, 10 yuan is nothing.
[User 'Modern Sun Wuneng' rewarded the anchor with 100 Douyin No. 1! ]
"Wow, that's 100 rockets, how much would that cost?"
'The couple was about to fight, it didn't seem like a scene.'
"The old man's expression just now was very natural, and it didn't look fake to me."
'Could it be possible that the host is really in the underworld?'
'Impossible, absolutely impossible. If the anchor is really in the underworld, I will stand upside down and eat rice fields.'
'I also think it's the script. The couple may be part of the extras, but their performance is more on point.'
'The anchor team is also amazing, the extras they found all acted very realistically.'
Huang Yang was surprised to see that his friend had directly rewarded him with 10 yuan. He was able to get 1000 Yin Yuan. He quickly began to operate and adjusted Grandpa Sun's soul to the front 100 areas. It was just that the position was a little bit behind, but he could still complete the reincarnation within a year.
"My dear friend Sun Wuneng, Grandpa Sun's position has been adjusted to the reincarnation formation in the past year. However, I only have three chances a day to invite ghosts to the reincarnation team. I have used them twice today, and the remaining one is reserved for another friend. If you want to meet with Grandpa Sun, I can arrange it tomorrow."
Although the other party gave more rewards, Huang Yang was not willing to change his principles.
At this time, Wang De, who had rushed to his sister's house, told his sister and brother-in-law about what he had seen with his eldest nephew's ghost, and re-entered the live broadcast room.
