Qiu Sheng complained.
"Hmph, hurry up and burn that piece of paper and 50 taels of ghost money for the underworld!"
Uncle Nine glared at him coldly.
Qiu Sheng quickly got up and then burned the things.
"Wen Cai, where has he been all night? He's not enthusiastic when it comes to work, but he's quite good at slacking off!"
Uncle Nine finished packing his things, came downstairs, and asked in confusion.
"He seems to have gone to see a play. They say there's a performance going on at the east end of town! He went to reserve a spot!"
Qiu Sheng said it casually.
"What? Watching a play? Oh no, doesn't this kid know that the plays performed during the Ghost Festival are for the dead?"
Uncle Nine's expression changed drastically, and without hesitation, he rushed out of the house.
"Master, wait for me!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Sheng immediately chased after him.
When Uncle Nine and Qiu Sheng arrived at the theater, they were speechless to find that Wen Cai was indeed watching a play, and there were a lot of ghosts around him.
Left with no other choice, Uncle Nine had to send Qiu Sheng in to call him.
Who knew this kid was even more unreliable? As soon as he went in, he and Wencai were captivated by a beautiful and charming female ghost named Xiaoli.
The two of them even used the talismans that Uncle Nine had given them for protection to freeze the four ghosts who were escorting these ghosts to the mortal world, thus letting all the ghosts escape!
Uncle Nine, cursing loudly, had no choice but to rush up to catch the ghosts. Unfortunately, out of hundreds of ghosts, he managed to catch less than twenty!
"Oh no, this is really a disaster!"
Looking at the empty theater, where even Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng had run away, Uncle Jiu was so angry his liver ached...
Disrupting the order of the underworld—if this crime were to be committed, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng would probably spend the rest of their lives in the deepest levels of hell after they die!
And even as the master, I will lose my position in the Underworld Money Bureau!
"Fortunately, these underworld officials are trapped, so there should still be a way to make amends!"
Helpless, Uncle Nine could only take the four ghost messengers, who were trapped on the ground by the talisman, back to their Taoist temple in Jiuquan Town.
Half an hour later!
In the living room of the temple, a dark green oil lamp burned slowly.
In this eerie atmosphere, the four ghost messengers sat around with icy expressions.
"Four senior underworld officials, that's how it is. Now that it's happened, I imagine none of you want the underworld to know, since you'll all be punished in the end!"
Uncle Nine spoke solemnly to the four underworld officials.
As soon as he said that, the four underworld messengers exchanged glances!
They all saw the worry in each other's eyes. After all, although it was Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng who were causing trouble, none of the four of them realized that the two of them were up to something and were even trapped. If this got back, they would definitely lose their positions as underworld officials.
"Hmph, all this trouble was caused by your two disciples!"
At most, we'll just be dismissed from our posts, but you'll not only be dismissed, you'll be thrown into the deepest hell!
You should be more worried about this!
"I think you must be a messenger from the Underworld Money Bureau, right? Looks like you've prepared quite a bit of ghost money for the Ghost Festival!"
The leader of the underworld messengers spoke coldly to Uncle Nine.
But after he finished speaking, a cold smile appeared on his lips!
As soon as he said that, Uncle Nine immediately guessed what he was thinking.
"Damn it, these bastards are trying to blackmail me!"
Uncle Nine was so angry that his liver hurt. He had only just become a messenger in the Underworld Money Bureau, and he was already going to lose money before he had even made his first deal!
This is all his savings from the past ten years!
But when he thought of Wencai and Qiusheng, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but sigh, ultimately unable to bear it.
Money can be earned back, but if the karma between the two of them is not eliminated, they will suffer in hell for the rest of their lives after they die!
"Bang!!!"
"Bang!!!"
"Master, we're back!!"
"Haha, today was so much fun! That Xiao Li is so pretty!" "Yeah, yeah!!"
