Chapter Eighteen: The Ten Great Yin Marshals

  But forced to seek news about my life and death, I could only hold back the urge to vomit and continued to listen: "Little brother's appearance makes us two marshals of the underworld feel ashamed! Look at that nose, it's really straight, look at that small mouth, it's really tender..." When Hei Wuchang spoke, his eyes didn't glance in my direction at all, but instead stared at the ancestor, and the voice of the soul-reading technique was like having a mouthful of water, making the words unclear.

  Is this language rhythm considered harassment?

  Okay, I admit I was shy.

  After listening for so long, I finally managed to get some connection with you, but it's all these useless things that made me extremely disappointed. Although the unpredictable words of black and white made my fear towards these two people drop to a critical point.

  Perhaps due to the inadequacy of language expression, this flattering skill is indeed not good, and the force is too strong, directly on the horse's leg, completely belonging to the category of nonsense. Thinking of the word "horse", I looked at the horse face working by the bridge again, calling "hee... hee" while wiping sweat, and it's really hard work on the front line, pay tribute.

  I listened to Lao Hei's words, thought about my own face, and then looked at my ancestors. They're like a different breed, completely different species!!! This makes me feel like I'm being lied to with eyes wide open, totally underestimating the intelligence of the Cui family! Although my current IQ is indeed severely damaged, such idiotic words can still be spoken, it's simply outrageous!

  Besides, with a face over half a meter long and a tongue over one meter long, he actually shamelessly claims to be the "Double Marshals of the Underworld". I spat it out, too dishonest! Completely unfamiliar with the word "handsome", not even remotely related.

  Thinking of the two names, when I read "Hell's Twin Marshals", I almost burst out laughing, and could only clench my thighs tightly on the already bruised spot, forcibly shifting my attention to let the pain overwhelm the laughter, which was quite a test of my self-control.

  These two guys are not chatting at all, they're completely in a crosstalk rhythm, and the straight man has been teased to death!

  But then I remembered my ancestors' words: "Upright and unyielding, hating evil like an enemy, a nemesis of the wicked, a killer of villains." So I thought to myself, "These two are so shameless, trying to deceive me with lies. Given my ancestor's reputation in the mortal world, they would never fall for this! And besides, comparing me to my ancestors? Ha! I'm not just handsome, I'm stunning! It seems that a blockbuster action movie is about to unfold!" Completely in the tone of watching a spectacle without fear of getting involved, wishing to add fuel to the fire.

  I was secretly preparing for the ancestral thunderous anger and righteous words, when I suddenly realized that these few people in front of me seemed to all know how to read souls. This technique is as natural as belching, farting, and spitting for yin messengers in the underworld. I quickly took a glance, and the three of them were busy talking, with no time to notice me eavesdropping on the side.

  It would be great if my mom could call me back home for dinner at this time, sigh.

  The old black man in front of me was smiling and flattering, while the little white one was busy moving his tongue to bite his fingernails, with a sweaty appearance. The ancestors were also watching this old black man smile without noticing me, so I secretly let out a sigh of relief. Afraid that if my careful thoughts are exposed, I will get a big package on my forehead!

  Unfortunately it wasn't me, didn't expect it in the end.

  As the saying goes, this is really a case of "thousands of calculations, but still can't calculate the ghost's mistake". It was supposed to be foolproof, but it turned out to be an unexpected surprise! This sentence has been lingering in my mind until now.

  What I didn't expect was that my ancestor actually smiled, nodded repeatedly, and fully accepted the old black man's words with great certainty. With an expression that seemed to say "this black man is speaking very reasonably", he looked at him with a fondness like a scholar looking at his own satisfactory disciple, making me put a big question mark on my ancestor's character, no, ghost character, no, ghost official character.

  "Your ancestors, on the other hand, responded to Hei Wuchang's words and said: 'You little guy has some vision, taste is okay, but it's not easy for you two brothers to appear at the same time today. One day shift, one night shift, don't have to be on duty today? Won't be playing hooky?' The tone of this leader, the style of leadership, the aura, the flavor is quite strong."

  Hei Wu Chang chuckled and said with unclear enunciation using the "Read Soul" technique, "Today is a statutory holiday, my brother and I are on vacation! We just returned from attending the press conference for our documentary about the underworld, how could we possibly play hooky?! My brother and I are still candidates for this year's Labor Model award, when voting time comes, we'll be relying on Brother Cui and the brothers at the Magistrate's office to support us! Our number is 249, please support candidate #249!" I fell to the ground with a thud, and everyone looked at me in surprise.

  "My body is not good, it's nothing, just a lack of calcium!" I quickly defended myself, afraid to reveal the collapse of my thoughts at this moment.

  The ancestor nodded and turned his head to look at Lao Hei and Xiao Bai: "Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about being handsome instead. I'm old now, but I was the most handsome in the underworld back then. Can't compare with young people nowadays, but if I recall my youth... Ah, those were the days! I was a real lady-killer, idol of young women, and favorite of aunties everywhere! But time waits for no man, I'm old now, old!" Listening to the ancestor's tone, it seemed like he really was incredibly handsome when he was young. I felt my stomach churning, but I remained still, forcing myself not to vomit.

  This trip to the underworld, my greatest gain is that my endurance value has skyrocketed.

  At this moment, even if I was struck by lightning, I still maintained the appearance of a fighting cock, and through the art of reading souls, I wanted to know whether in their conversation, they would reveal my current situation, and whether there was any possibility of survival.

  "Although I'm still an idol now, it's far worse than before!" The ancestor tilted his head 45 degrees, showing off his angular profile, as if recalling the passionate years he mentioned, unable to contain his emotions, and occasionally stroking the standing whiskers with a satisfied expression, making the entire underworld feel desolate.

  This is a melancholy majesty, this is a poignant picture.

  Fortunately, no one was paying attention to me and I hadn't been discovered yet. I quickly tried to think of something else, but the more I tried to change my train of thought, the more I found myself thinking along those lines, and suddenly I was drenched in sweat. After over ten minutes, I guessed that Black and White had finally stopped flattering each other because they were really at a loss for words, or maybe it was because their tongues were too long and caused them to stumble over their words. They finally stood up to bid farewell, and seeing the smiles they gave me, I decided that from now on, I would never eat beef tongue again, one of my must-order dishes!!!

  "Remember to support candidate No. 249! He's canvassing votes even as he leaves, truly a hard worker."

  Looking at these two distant figures, I feel a risk of being blown away by the wind, this posture, this outline, is too delicate.

  "Ah, child, you see? These are our grassroots comrades on the front lines. How honest, how simple, and how hardworking they are! They've been fighting against evil for years, their bellies have grown bigger from running, and their legs have become thinner. Apart from being a bit tongue-tied, these two comrades are known for their integrity. Look at how they speak - no boasting, no lies, especially good at telling the truth, never speaking falsely or pretending to be something they're not. You should've noticed that by now, right?"

  I nodded my head with both hands, moving up and down to show agreement. From then on, I was no longer an honest person, my innocence left on those two "toothpicks" never to return.

  "Choi Myung, these two are the ones who have traveled between the underworld and the mortal world the most times. From now on, on the path to breaking our family's curse, we will definitely meet again frequently." I looked at the already disappeared figure in the distance, nodded thoughtfully.

  "What do you think of these two?" A huge question mark was transmitted from my ancestors in my mind!

  I'd better say, judging from the ancestors' appearance, they seem to appreciate these two things very much. If I were to insincerely say that I admire them extremely, the ancestors would be able to see through my lie with their soul-reading technique. After some thought, I decided to speak the truth.

  I stared at the ancestral double pupils, "These two look really good, especially their business ability, but I have doubts about this underworld double marshal's title. If you say that the ancestor is handsome and elegant, that's an undeniable fact, but if these two can also be considered handsome, it would obviously lower the standard of the word 'handsome'!"

  At this time, the ancestors burst out laughing, looking like they didn't have any intention of being angry at all, and I finally put my heart at ease.

  "What they said is true, have you heard of the Ten Great Marshals of the Underworld?" My ancestor's question was clearly in an unfamiliar domain for me.

  "This underworld has also held a contest for the most handsome, and I was unanimously elected as the most handsome of all. However, below me, there are ten major Yin, namely Ghost King, Day Tour, Night Tour, No Constant, Ox Head, Horse Face, Leopard Tail, Bird Mouth, Fish Fin, and Yellow Hornet. These ten guys are not difficult to understand, after all, there are only so many people. The advantage of our industry's system is that everyone benefits equally, no one is left behind!"

  Listening to these names, I nodded my head in emotion, silently giving myself nicknames in my heart: Universe's First Handsome? Super Invincible Handsome? Super Invincible Universe's First Handsome? It seems a bit too common, it's really a headache.

  "Ghost King? You're saying that among the top ten dark marshals of the underworld, there's actually a Ghost King? Is he your superior? Will he be jealous of your handsomeness and sabotage you at work?"

  In order to prevent my ancestors from reading through my mind at this moment, I was so excited that I directly said out this sentence.

  "That's not the case, our Yan Wang is wise and brave, not petty, even if he really admires my handsomeness, he won't hold a grudge in his heart. After all, my handsomeness is obvious to everyone, it's not just what people say but what they think...". I truly admire the thickness of my ancestor's face, and when saying this, he didn't even bat an eyelid.

  "Besides, this King of Ghosts is not that King of Ghosts! The 'King' in King of Ghosts doesn't represent a supreme identity, but rather this guy's surname was Wang when he was alive, so after he died he became a ghostly official and called himself the King of Ghosts." When I heard my ancestor's explanation, I was really stunned.

  As they spoke, the ancestor suddenly pulled out a poster from somewhere, and in the center of the poster was indeed the ancestor himself, with a middle parting, wearing sunglasses, making a "V" shape with his hands, and on top of his head was a huge character for "handsome". Behind him stood ten weird and ugly creatures that didn't even look human, looking very frightening.

  "This is the calendar of handsome guys from the underworld, just by looking at this poster, you can tell who's the main character. I looked at this poster and it's really amazing, after being reflected by these guys, our ancestor is indeed exceptionally handsome. Our ancestor pointed to one, with an upper body like a **, red hair and fangs, holding a big bell, looking ferocious and evil, a complete night yaksha-like thing, saying "This is the King of Ghosts", I said... uh... okay!"

  Red flowers need green leaves to match! I looked at my ancestors and suddenly felt that they were indeed elegant and refined, a true handsome man.

  "This devil king is not one person, but a combination. The photo is their captain, and the members are numerous, such as Wu Liang Devil King, Evil Poison Devil King, Da Zheng Devil King, White Tiger Devil King, Blood Tiger Devil King, San Yang Devil King, Fei Shen Devil King, Lei Guang Devil King, Lang Ya Devil King, Qian Yan Devil King, Tian Shou Devil King, Fu Shi Devil King, Zhu Hao Devil King and so on. At that time, there was no family planning, this family is huge!" I nodded, this thing is really too messy, some of it exceeds my understanding category.
