Chapter 134 Preparing for the Sports Festival

Hearing him call me, I didn't dare to make any move, so I just carried a big sack and looked at King Yama on the carriage.

King Yama is still dressed in the same style, wearing black brocade and rich clothes, with long tassels hanging in front of his tall hat, covering his cheeks.

"You, you called me?" I answered him, bowing my waist.

King Yama looked at me and stopped talking. After waiting for a long time, my legs were numb due to the weight, and he said softly: "You can come to my house tomorrow, I have something to tell you.

"

I frowned, not knowing how to respond to him for a moment. After thinking about it for a while, I was just about to agree when I saw an ordinary-looking man with short hair and a frown walking from the city.

He came out, holding a mace as tall as a person in his hand, and the whole person looked sinister and terrifying.

The man walked straight to King Yama's carriage, hit a certain king in front of him with a stick, and said sternly: "King, don't forget, the two days of sports festival are very busy, no matter what you have to do, please postpone it until

Let’s talk about it later, okay?” The place where it was hit was immediately dented, and there were several cracks around it.

After the man finished speaking, King Yama couldn't help but take a step back. There was no hint of discussion in the tone of his words. It was clearly a threat from Chi Guoguo, and it was full of veto.

"Ghost, ghost lamp." King Yama said the man's name, and then he had to turn to me and said: "Then you go ahead and wait for me to summon you."

"Yes," I lowered my head, and when I stepped away, I slightly raised my head to look at the man who was calling the ghost lantern, but I didn't expect the ghost lantern to be looking at me as well, with a look of disgust in his eyes.

How did I offend this ghost lamp? Neither of us had ever met before. Thinking of this, I quickly lowered my head.

"What a troublesome guy."

The moment I turned around and left, I clearly heard the ghostly lamp's words reaching my ears.

Carrying a large sack, I tried to spread my legs, trying to catch up with the large army that had left for a while. Qiu Bai was obviously waiting for me, and as soon as he ran into the city, he jumped out from the side, scaring me.

One jump.

"You are finally back. I was afraid that you didn't know the way, so I waited for you here." Qiu Bai said with a smile.

"Thank you for waiting for me. I really don't know the road yet." I nodded to him.

Qiu Bai walked up to me with a big cloth bag on his back, and then asked me gossipingly: "What did King Yama want from you just now?"

I smiled helplessly and said, "It's nothing. I just saw that I was new here, so I was asked to carry a light cloth bag." Qiu Bai looked at me with an expression of disbelief. I shook my head slightly and changed the subject:

"By the way, what are we carrying on our backs? What's the sports festival in Yincao City?"

"You are new here. You may not know that this sports festival is a festival suggested by Lord He Shuapeng, the ruler of the fifth palace who likes to have fun. After experiencing the tribulations of the mortal world, he came back to Lord Yama. He said that it was to strengthen the strength of the people.

It improves the physique of the ghost servants and the citizens of Yincao City and enriches their leisure life." Qiu Bai said: "The annual sports festival is particularly grand, and the ten kings of hell will gather in Yincao City. In addition, every year's activities are

They are different, so this festival is very popular among ghost guards and city residents, and it has been passed down.

What we are carrying on our backs are the decorations prepared for the festival, which King Yama specially purchased from the underworld."

Qiu Baiyao pointed to the bag on his back and said with a very proud look. It seemed that he was proud to be able to help the sports festival.

While we were talking, we arrived at the end of the East Street in the city. Among the three streets, I had already gone to the end of the middle and west (right) streets. The end of the middle street was the Judgment Hall, and the end of the West Street was a large square.

The end of East Street is similar to West Street. It is also a vast open space, but it is also very different from West Street. West Street is a square, while East Street is a plain.

The Yin Cao City is separated from the plain by a huge iron gate and wall.

The tender green plain looks particularly abrupt in this dim and dark city.

When we arrived in front of the plain, the iron gate had been opened, and the entire plain came into view, which gave me a clear visual impact. I was used to the dimness in the underworld, and when I looked at the plain again, I felt like I was coming from hell.

The feeling of climbing to heaven.

"Wow - there is such a place in this underworld." I walked in with my bag on my back, and couldn't help but sigh.

Qiu Bai rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "There are still many things you don't know. I will lead you to understand them slowly in the future."

I smiled awkwardly, "Later? Let's talk about it later. I don't want to stay in this underworld anymore. I may have to leave when the person Master Liu Zhi said to pick me up comes."

"Hey, Qiu Bai, this way."

In a corner of the plain, the soldiers guarding the city gathered there. The things they took were also piled up in a pile there, as high as a hill.

Qiu Bai and I walked over with our things on our backs, and happened to pass by the "regular troops" who were preparing to leave after putting away their things.

"Are you all alive?" Qiu Bai walked to the pile of things, looked left and right, and all the soldiers reported together: All are alive! After Qiu Bai heard this, he showed a satisfied expression.

When I saw such a large pile of things, I immediately became interested. I walked around twice and found that most of the things in the pile were wooden boards, glue, ropes and the like.

"What are we going to do with these things?" I asked. I remember Qiu Bai said it was a sports festival. Can these things be linked to the word sports?

A soldier smiled and said: "Xiaoyang, you are really rare and strange. When the sports festival opens the day after tomorrow, you will know the use of these."

Hearing what he said, I suddenly became very interested and had the urge to take a look first.

In addition to our pile of things, there are many miscellaneous things placed on the entire plain, but because they are all scattered objects, I can't tell what they are. I can only distinguish some skipping ropes, basketballs and the like.

Suddenly, I looked at a round ball woven from bamboo strips and asked, "What is that?"

Qiu Bai looked at me with an exaggerated expression, covered his mouth and said, "Duanmuyang, you don't know what that is?"

I rolled my eyes at him, how could this man look like Hou Tao?

Seeing that I ignored him, Qiu Bai also knew that he was asking for trouble, so he became serious and explained to me: "This thing is called Cuju (Taju), and it is a very popular sport."

"Cuju?" I meditated, and it seemed very familiar. It seemed that the history teacher had taught it before, but I didn't remember it.

Seeing that I was still puzzled, Qiu Bai explained it to me again seriously, even explaining how to play Cuju. After listening, I came to a conclusion: Cuju is simply a game of football.

After having some fun, we left and started waiting for the sports festival two days later.
