Views:

When the ghosts broke through the door, Yan Dan was leaning on the edge of the bed, dressed in thin clothes, and brushed her hair slowly. Zhao Huanqin's eyes and hands were quick, he pulled the quilt over her, and said coldly, "Several adults are visiting late at night, what are you doing?" The ghost hurriedly retreated to the door and closed the door: "Someone was there before. After passing through the barrier outside the ghost town, everyone followed the blood trail and came in to have a look."

Zhao Huanqin's voice was flat: "I see. Is this bloodstain found outside the humble house? If so, it is better to search the humble house and be cautious."

"Maybe the person who broke in is not here. I'm sorry to disturb Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zun's rest. Of course, I'm sorry." The ghost handed over, turned and left.

Yan Dan turned her head to look at Zhao Huanqin and didn't realize it, this man is bold and careful, and he can still hold on after such a serious injury. Not long after the ghost left, the ghost man walked into the house with the medicine box in his hand, wrapped his wounds lightly, and cleaned up the blood-stained bedding. He hesitated for a while before asking, "Mr. Zhao, you The face... how the face... "

Yan Dan burst out laughing, lying at the table looking at them.

Zhao Huanqin is really talented, but he didn't even change his expression, and said lightly: "Those ghosts have already suspected me, and next time, I must not make a mistake."

Mang Gui lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

Yan Dan propped her cheeks: "Since we are a group now, can you tell me what you are trying to do?"

Zhao Huanqin glanced at her, and looked down on her a little: "You don't understand when I say it."

Yan Dan looked at Mang Gui and smiled slightly: "Then you can tell."

Mang Gui looked at Zhao Huanqin, then looked at her again, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Mr. stayed in Ghost Town for the Nether Palace, that Nether Palace is..."

"The Nether Palace?" Yan Dan stood up abruptly, "The Nether Palace you're talking about isn't the Nether Palace where the ancient gods left the last ruins, right? How could there really be such a thing?" She is still in charge of the book At that time, he found a manuscript recorded by Emperor Zixu himself, saying that the secrets in the Nether Palace were left by Nuwa and other ancient gods. Once the mystery of the underworld is understood, the six realms will be controlled by the person who unlocks the mystery.

It can be seen that Zhao Huanqin is very ambitious and is really not a good person.

"You knew." Zhao Huanqin looked at her thoughtfully.

Yan Dan was so cold-haired by him that he hurriedly said: "I have no interest in the underworld or anything. I just want to leave here. Since you promised before, you won't regret it, right?" In fact, he really is now If she wanted to go back on it, she had no choice. They were the grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

Zhao Huanqin snorted and said after a while: "There is a ghost gate under Yewang River, from there, you can go directly to the mortal world, and I will take you there when I recover."

Yan Dan thought about it and couldn't help but ask: "Actually, when the ghost came back for the first time, it was Mang ghost who pretended to be Mr. Zhao? So my appearance is not real anymore?"

Zhao Huanqin smiled: "Since you've already guessed it, why ask any more? Well, you two just go out. I want to be quiet for a while."

The corner of Yan Dan's mouth moved, and finally he pushed the door reluctantly and went out, only to hear Mang Gui gently closing the door behind him, and whispered: "Miss Yan Dan, if you have anything else to ask, just ask me hello. Now, sir, he is seriously injured, and he really doesn't have the strength to talk anymore."

"Are you staying in the ghost town for the Nether Palace, but isn't this place only those with damaged souls to stay?"

Mang Gui shook his head and smiled: "That's true, I only stay here because I have lost a soul. Before you came, I often had to pretend to be Mrs. Zhao, and sometimes I had to pretend to be Mr. Zhao. No one will find out that Mr. left the ghost town to look for the underworld."

Yan Dan thought for a while, and then said, "How did your soul get damaged?"

"Mr. Zhao must have a reason to stay in the ghost town, and I... I am the reason." Mang Gui smiled shyly at her, "I will pretend to be his wife, and he will be able to ask the ghost messenger to open his mouth. , and then stay in the ghost town. Mr. is to do an urgent matter, and naturally he can't hurt himself, so... "

"So you damaged your primordial spirit and left it behind with a sentimental face, but in fact it was to find the underworld?" Yan Dan was filled with indignation. If people are divided into three, five and nine, then Zhao Huanqin must be the scum among the scum, and the leader among the scum.

Mang Gui was startled and waved his hands again and again: "This is all voluntary, really, it's none of Mr. Zhao's business." She paused, then said timidly: "Young lady Yan Dan, don't be angry, you It is a good person, and a good person will be rewarded well.”

"Good people will be rewarded, but stupid..." Yan Dan looked at Mang Gui's bright face, and suddenly didn't want to say anything. Mang Gui and Zhao Huanqin were like her and Ying Yuan, but she actually understood.

Good people will be rewarded, but stupid people will not be rewarded. That's why she ended up where she is now.

Zhao Huanqin's injury was only half healed, so he proposed to go to the Nether Palace again, and take Yan Dian to the ghost gate.

Yan Dan was happy to leave this ghost place as soon as possible, but Mang Gui was very worried: "But Mr.'s injury..."

Zhao Huanqin shook his head and tapped the corner of the table lightly: "Needless to say, I have found a way to enter the Nether Palace, not to mention staying in a ghost town is not very appropriate, it is always good to start early." He said that the Nether Palace When his eyes were clear, he seemed to only care about this one thing in this world.

Mang Gui can only obey: "I don't know when you want to leave sir?"

"Just tonight. I have to think about some details, you all go out." He waved his hand impatiently.

Yan Dan pinned his hopes on him, even if he swallowed his anger, he would hold back abruptly, but Zhao Huanqin was still thoughtful and courteous in dealing with people and things, and he was still thoughtful and courteous. Yan Danda felt from the bottom of his heart that a scumbag like him should be the "realm" in the Zen theory that she has been unable to understand

Mang Gui was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Since I'm leaving tonight, I'll help you wash off Yi Rong."

Yan Dan didn't know what she was thinking, so she blurted out: "Actually, it's fine if you don't wash it off."

Mang Gui snorted and said with a smile, "Aren't you used to seeing this face now, but you are not used to the original look? But the original face is what you really look like." He took out a small pair of scissors from the medicine box and said softly, "Don't be afraid, your own appearance will definitely be better than the current one."

Yan Dan touched his cheek and whispered, "Is there a mirror?"

Mang Gui took out a small round mirror from his sleeve: "Wait, don't move, I'm afraid of hurting you."

Yan Dan held the mirror and saw a slender and dexterous hand reflected in the mirror. Holding scissors, she carefully cut a slit in the corner of her eye. The slit gradually peeled off and slowly revealed her original appearance. face. In this world, her appearance is not unique, there is another person - her sister - in heaven.

And she is in the underworld.

Sometimes when I think about it, those days seem like a bustling old dream, and suddenly they all disappeared.

I just don't know if it was her who disappeared or the people who came and went in the dream.

Since she chose this path, no matter whether she is crying or laughing, she can only continue to walk. She wanted to walk away with a smile, and what she lost in the past, she would retrieve one by one, just like when she left them.

Zhao Huanqin did have some skills.

Although Yan Dan didn't like seeing this person very much, she still had to admit that if it wasn't for him to lead the way, even if she didn't lose her immortal power, it would be difficult for her to break through the barrier and leave the ghost town from the heavy guards: "If you wait for a ghost Wouldn't it be troublesome to go door-to-door looking for someone and you're not here?"

Zhao Huanqin turned his head and looked into the distance, with a slightly cold smile on the corner of his mouth: "Who said I would go back there again? As long as I unravel the mysteries of the Underworld, all the six realms are in my hands, even the Nine Heavens is nothing. ."

There are some people that she can never understand in her whole life, and she doesn't want to understand. Yan Dan followed Zhao Huanqin's example, slowly wading down Yewangchuan, the icy river flowing over his chest, as if he was back in the days of hesitantly walking in Wangchuan water. Only at that time, she jumped off the Seventh World Reincarnation Dao, but she didn't think about what to do after that.

And now, she wants to leave here and become a mortal or a demon. The worst was over, what else could she be afraid of

On the Yanbo River, a gorgeous but full of decaying palaces appears and disappears from time to time, and it looks even more magnificent in the white mist. Yan Dan murmured, "This is the Underworld..."

"The Nether Palace will not stay in one place. I searched here for a long time, only to realize that it will definitely stop here at this hour and disappear after half an hour." Zhao Huanqin's eyes were bright, and his tone was not as dull as usual. . As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of gloomy wind came, and the white mist on the river became thicker, and it was almost impossible to see the scene ten steps away.

Zhao Huanqin's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly: "It's the Yin soldier who borrowed the way. Cover your mouth and nose with your hands, and don't make any noise."

Yan Dan raised his sleeves to cover his mouth, and after a while, a group of soldiers in bronze armor walked past them within six or seven paces. They carried long weapons and their armors were dark and dull, but they were always floating on the Yewang River, and they didn't even stir up a little water wave.

These soldiers walked past them in a neat and solemn manner, and went away. Zhao Huanqin also took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Don't follow too close, they will notice within ten steps."

Yan Dan was stunned, Zhao Huanqin came back several times with injuries, and thought that he had also played with these Yin soldiers.

After wading in the water for almost half an hour, Zhao Huanqin suddenly stopped and pointed to the sloping water vortex: "This is the gate of hell. Wherever you live, you will land in that place."

Yan Dan was stunned, she has never been a mortal, and I don't know where she will end up in the end? She turned her head to look at Mang Gui, smiled and asked, "Why don't you go to the mortal world with me?"

Mang Gui looked at Zhao Huanqin's back. He had already walked towards the Nether Palace, and then slowly turned his head and smiled at her: "No, I'm not going back, you hurry up and leave."

Yan Dan nodded, no longer persuaded, and walked straight to the whirlpool. Almost instantly, she was swept into it by a force, and just as she was turning dizzy, a sea of black water came on her face. This black water is not only glowing with oil, but there are also pieces of broken bodies floating in the water.

Yan Dan covered her mouth and nose hard, if she swallowed the black water soaked in the corpse, she was afraid that it would not be enough to vomit for ten days. She was struggling when suddenly the waves hit the rocks on the side, she couldn't help groaning in pain, and watched the black dirty water pouring into her mouth. Yan Dan was hit with all kinds of things, so she could only grab at random, trying to stabilize her body, and finally taught her what to grab, but she heard a strange clicking sound behind her.

She looked back and saw that there were skinny evil ghosts on the stone wall, their eyes were like jumping phosphorous fires, gnawing at the arm she was holding: "Ah, this is What the hell is it-" The waves came, and greasy black water was poured down from the top.

Yan Dan wanted to cry but had no tears, but felt that he had been thrown up and down by the waves, bumping into the stone corridors of nine and eighteen bends. Fortunately, she can still protect her body with the air, otherwise she would have fallen into a pile of broken bones. But even so, she could clearly hear her bones rattling.

Will the bones break? And her waist, she's all this old...

Suddenly there was a light in front of him, and the light became bigger and bigger, and it became dazzling. Yan Dan fell to the ground with a thud, and couldn't get up for a while. She looked up with difficulty, and saw a wooden door five steps away, with a broom at the door, surrounded by gray brick walls, like a narrow alley.

This is the mortal world, but I wonder if the first person she saw in the mortal world was a kind person

She was thinking like this, only to hear a creak, the wooden door opened, the person in front was not much taller than her, and the person in the back was a whole head taller than the person in front and behind. The two of them were wearing very heavy and colorful clothes, with their sleeves almost dragging to the ground. They had pink-white faces, bright red lips, dark eye sockets, and pale red cheeks.

Yan Dan raised his head with difficulty, and immediately froze when he saw the two of them. She always thought that mortals should look similar to her, right? How, how can it grow like this

Their eyes met, and after a moment of silence, the short pink-faced man jumped up first, and shouted angrily, "Monster, ah, there are monsters—"
