Northeast, Gulin. In the northwest, there was a small village called Xiulin.
There was a cemetery in the east of Xiulin Village. It was built by a businessman from Hong Kong. With a cemetery, there was a need for a gravekeeper …
Gravekeeper had always been an unlucky profession. In addition, the salary wasn't high, so very few people were willing to do it.
The old man in charge of the gravekeeper was Old Yu from the village. He had been here since the cemetery was built.
However, Old Yu wasn't from the village. When the cemetery was built, he was the first to apply to be a gravekeeper. He had been guarding it for decades.
His son and daughter-in-law tried everything they could to get him to leave the cemetery, but they couldn't take him away in the end.
In the end, they didn't come to see him for a long time …
Only his grandson would come to stay for a while from time to time.
At this moment, a young man was walking in the village with his luggage. As he walked, he greeted his acquaintances.
"Uncle Li!"
"Hey, Xiao Yu, you're back?
How was it?
Was university fun? "
"It was alright, ha …" Yu Hui-fei greeted as he walked. Although everyone was very enthusiastic, they always looked at him strangely. They looked like they wanted to say something but stopped, which made Yu Hui-fei's hair stand on end.
Walking along the commercial street in the village, he walked all the way to the north and crossed a small stone arch bridge. It was a courtyard house with green tiles and white walls. It looked like a Jiangnan water village!
The door was as black as ink, but there was some red paint on it at this moment.
Yu Hui-fei frowned when he saw it.
Then, there were two stones that Yu Hui-fei had never seen before at the door … Hmm … Dogs!
The eyes of these two dogs were also very strange. They were wide open, but their pupils were lifeless, just like idiots!
No matter how he looked at it, Yu Hui-fei felt that these two things were made based on huskies.
But why did his grandfather make these two things for no reason?
Not only did these things not ward off evil, but they also attracted curses, right?
There was a simple and unadorned sign hanging on the black door. The main point was that the sign was pasted up with newspapers, so the words on it couldn't be seen at all.
For some reason, looking at this door, Yu Hui-fei felt uneasy, as if he was about to fall into a pit.
But thinking about it carefully, this was his grandfather's house. Who would want to cheat him?
With a forceful push, he slowly pushed the door open.
After entering the door, before Yu Hui-fei could say anything, he heard the door close behind him!
At the same time, Yu Hui-fei felt a chill down his spine …
Yu Hui-fei abruptly turned around and stared at the black door. The black door was made of iron sheets wrapped around wood. It was very thick, and its design was very simple … But here came the problem. A palm-thick door made of solid wood and iron sheets could not be moved by the wind!
Moreover, there was no wind just now.
The door had a simple frame, and there was no mechanical lever or revolving door frame, so how did it close by itself?
When Yu Hui-fei thought of this, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Yu Hui-fei subconsciously shouted to boost his courage. "Grandpa, are you there?"
At this moment, a hand was placed on Yu Hui-fei's shoulder. "Brother, you're here?"
Yu Hui-fei jumped in fright. When he turned his head, he saw an old man with yellow teeth looking at him sneakily!
Then, without waiting for Yu Hui-fei to say a word, he said like a machine gun, "I know you have many questions, but no matter how many questions you ask, I won't answer you.
I won't say anything unnecessary. This is your work uniform. In the future, you will be the tomb keeper here. "
"What?" Yu Hui-fei screamed. How did he become a tomb keeper?
Unfortunately, the old man ignored him. Instead, he reached into his sleeve and pulled out something along his arm. Yu Hui-fei grinned. "Stop digging. It's almost to the chicken coop!"
The old man seemed to grab onto something. He pulled forcefully and really pulled out a Daoist robe. Then, he shook it …
Yu Hui-fei took a step back. Under the sunlight, he saw dust flying everywhere!
He subconsciously waved his hand. He seriously suspected that the old man might not have bathed in years … As for the clothes, they probably hadn't been washed in years, right?
The old man threw his clothes at Yu Huifei. Yu Huifei subconsciously waved his hand to block it, but he missed. When he looked down again, he was shocked to find his clothes lying on the ground, including the red underwear from the year of his birth!
Then, he looked at himself. Holy sh * t, he was wearing the dirty, greasy, and tattered Daoist robe with a layer of dust. It was unknown if it was black or red!
Yu Hui-fei's brain was clearly lacking. He couldn't figure out what he had experienced.
The old man continued. "My name is Lu Ya, not the Lu Ya from Hallelujah. It's the Lu Ya from Investiture of the Gods.
To put it bluntly, I'm an immortal.
However, my working years are up and I'm preparing to retire. That's why I found you to be my successor. "
What the hell is this old man talking about?
The old man continued. "To put it simply, my original position in the human world was the director of the Three Realms' Labor Reform Bureau.
Those disobedient fellows in the Three Realms who broke the rules and couldn't be struck to death by lightning would be sent to me to undergo labor reform and ideological re-education.
However, my working years were up, so I had to find a new person to take over.
I originally chose your grandfather, but when I rushed over, I realized that those bastards from the Underworld had arrived faster than me. They had already taken him away.
I chased after them and asked for him, but I didn't get him back.
However, your grandfather recommended you to me, so I waited for you here.
I was the one who called you back …
Now, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask. "
Yu Hui-fei looked at the old man in front of him in a daze. His mind raced as he summarized the information contained in the old man's words.
After all, Yu Hui-fei was a person who had received higher education. Moreover, he had read many novels, movies, and television dramas, so he was very receptive.
Very quickly, he cleared his mind …
Yu Hui-fei tried asking, "Are you really Lu Ya?"
"Hong Jun came first, and then the heavens. Daolord Lu Ya came first!
I'm talking about me! "Lu Ya raised his head arrogantly.
Yu Hui-fei sighed and said, "How long has my grandfather been gone?"
"Three months … For the past three months, I've been waiting for you here in your grandfather's appearance.
Since you're here, hurry up. After the handover, it's time for me to leave, "Lu Ya urged.
Yu Hui-fei was puzzled. "This is the home of the tomb keeper. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the labor reform bureau you mentioned, right?"
Lu Ya smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. You're the director of the labor reform bureau. Wherever you are, the labor reform bureau will be.
Besides, I've been living here for three months. I've already made arrangements.
In short, this is the Three Realms Labor Reform Bureau. You don't have to care about this name. You can choose any name you want.
I like to call this place the Ninth Floor. Although there's no Ninth Floor here, I've used my authority to help you open the Ninth Floor. However, you … Hehe, you'll understand how magical this place is in the future.
If you don't like the name Ninth Floor, you can change it yourself.
However, no matter what you call this place, the Heavenly Courts call this place the Immortal Labor Reform Bureau.
As for you, you're the jailer, director, and owner of this place. Anyway, you're the biggest boss here. You can call you whatever you want.
Your mission is to watch over the prisoners sent down from the heavens. Don't let them disturb the world. Serve your sentence well, turn over a new leaf, and accept the reform.
Don't worry. As the jailer, they won't dare to offend you.
This is because the Heavenly Courts will need you to report their performance every once in a while. If they don't perform well, their punishment will be heavier. They might even be struck by lightning.
If they perform well, their sentence will be reduced appropriately.
Also, as the jailer, you will get a salary. "
When he heard the first half of the sentence, Yu Hui-fei was skeptical, but when he heard that he had a salary, his ears pricked up!
The old man said, "Your salary is the entire turnover of this shop …"
When Yu Hui-fei heard that, he nearly cried. He pointed and said, "Brother, this is where the tomb keeper lives. Behind it is the cemetery. The graves are all piled up there.
What business do you think I can do here to earn some turnover? "
The old man wore an awkward expression as he coughed. "This … Hmm … This … You think of a way yourself."
Yu Hui-fei was rendered speechless. Wasn't he being too f * * king irresponsible?
Hence, Yu Hui-fei decisively shook his head. "Well, you must have found the wrong person. Why don't I help you find a new one?"
Lu Ya chuckled. "Sure. When you die, remember to recommend me a good person."
A dark cloud immediately hung over Yu Hui-fei's head. Was he only able to escape after he died?
Lu Ya looked at Yu Hui-fei's expression and patted him on the shoulder. "Lad, don't be like that.
Actually, I already did a divination for you before you came. You and I are the same horoscope. You're not wrong to do this! "
Yu Hui-fei immediately broke out in a cold sweat. A veteran immortal was talking to him about horoscopes?
F * * k, when did immortals become so fashionable?
If it weren't for the old man's frightening tricks, Yu Hui-fei really wanted to beat him up!
However, even if he could beat him, Yu Hui-fei reckoned that with the old man's cheap looks, he could probably blackmail Yu Hui-fei until he couldn't take care of himself for the rest of his life!
Lu Ya said, "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. You've also taken the clothes.
Oh, right, I haven't given you the waist tag yet. "
With that said, Lu Ya reached into his sleeves and searched for a while, but he couldn't find anything.
He muttered, "Hey, it's not in the Universe in the Sleeve?
Oh … I remember, it's in my trouser pocket.
After all, this thing is too important … "
Then, the old man reached into his trouser pocket. Not his pocket, but his trouser pocket!
Yu Hui-fei really wanted to curse. Is your tattered trouser pocket safer than the Universe in the Sleeve?
Are you f * * king crazy!
The old man fumbled between his legs for a long time. Just as Yu Hui-fei was worried that the old man would pull it off and give it to him, the old man finally took out a black, greasy token and handed it to Yu Hui-fei. "This is the token of the Ninth Floor's Building Master and Chief of the Immortal Labor Rehabilitation Bureau. Keep it well, don't lose it."
Yu Hui-fei was almost eighty percent sure that the old man in front of him was a crazy magician who was playing with him. There might be cameras around to secretly record him. When he got back, he would put it up on all the major websites and be seen as a fool.
Therefore, Yu Hui-fei took a step back with a look of disgust.
"You've already taken the token. I'll leave this place to you!" Lu Ya said.
