Northeast China's Chuma Xian: I Have an Official Position in the Underworld
Chen Jiujin is a young villager living at the foot of Changbai Mountain. His grandfather was the most renowned spirit medium for miles around, but on the night a yellow weasel demanded a title, he died bleeding from all seven orifices. Their spirit altar was smashed, creditors surrounded their home, and the whole village called him a “little fake shaman.” He neither cried nor made a scene. Instead, he gathered evidence, called the police, and turned the tables on a creditor who had forged a loan note, sending him straight to the security station. The immortal companion he takes over is not a majestic fox spirit, but a foul-mouthed, greedy yellow weasel named Third Master Huang, who lies around all day scrolling through the Underworld’s social media. He boasts to everyone, “Black and White Impermanence are my card-game buddies, and Judge Cui is my drinking pal.” Then, when an evil cultivator comes to claim his life, Third Master Huang tears open the gates of hell with a single swipe of his claw. Turns out this fellow really does hold an official position in the Underworld.

陳九斤は長白山の麓に暮らす農村の青年。祖父は十里四方で最も霊験あらたかな出馬仙だったが、黄皮子が封号を求めた夜、七つの穴から血を流して命を落とした。堂口は破壊され、借金取りが家の前に押しかけ、村人たちは彼を「小さなインチキ神棍」と罵った。彼は泣きも騒ぎもせず、まず証拠を集め、それから警察に通報し、借用書を偽造した借金取りを逆に治安所送りにした。彼が引き継いだ仙家は、威風堂々たる狐仙ではなく、口が悪く食い意地が張り、毎日寝転がって「地府のSNS」を眺めている黄三爺という黄皮子だった。黄三爺は人に会うたび、「黒無常と白無常は俺の麻雀仲間、崔判官は飲み友達だ」と大口を叩く。だが邪道の修行者が命を狙いに来たとき、黄三爺は一振りの爪で鬼門を引き裂いた。なんとこの男、本当に地府の正式職員だったのだ。
