After the female ghost sister Tong was put into the soul-collecting barrel, I found that everyone around me was staring at me with extremely strange eyes.
After a while, Lou Xiaoman actually took the initiative to walk up to me and started talking to me. She asked me, "Yang Tianyi, what is the red lacquer coffin used by the ghost in your soul collection barrel?"
How would I know what that red lacquered coffin is
It was a bit embarrassing, but I still explained, "I'm sorry, Master Lou, I don't know what that red lacquer coffin is. But I think there must be a space inside the red lacquer coffin, and the monster with the red tongue must be living in that space."
Lou Xiaoman frowned, she didn't believe what I said. She asked me in a deep voice, "Don't you know what a red lacquer coffin is? Then, how did you subdue that ghost?"
I smiled bitterly, shook my head and said, "Master Lou, I think you misunderstood. I really didn't know. As for the ghost, I didn't subdue her. She just took the initiative to pester me."
After thinking about it, Lou Xiaoman remained silent and didn't ask any more questions.
As for the others, they were temporarily relieved because the Thunder Explosion Bead was taken away by the female ghost sister Tong.
Soon, Sister Xilan went to the side of Yu Haidong. She stretched out her hand to measure Yu Haidong's breathing, but Yu Haidong was already dead. As for Yu Haidong's master, Li Bowei, he was also dead.
I'm afraid Li Bowen would never have thought that he would die at the hands of his own apprentice.
While we were standing aside discussing how to deal with the bodies of Yu Haidong and Li Bowen, a sound suddenly came from the blood ball in the distance in front of Master Chu and others.
"Why did you invite me here?"
A strange voice came from the blood clot.
At this time, Master Chu and the other five people suddenly opened their eyes.
It seems that the "invitation to the gods" was successful!
Master Chu calmed down and said hurriedly, "Lord Hades, we asked you to come here to help us move the huge rock at the entrance of the cave. The huge rock was left by an evil Taoist priest who wanted to kill us. Please help us, Lord Hades!"
It was not known whether the Hades God had not heard what Master Chu said or whether he had no intention of helping. After Master Chu stated his request, the Hades God remained silent.
After a while, Xiao Junmin, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, spoke up and said, "Lord Hades, why are you silent? Don't you intend to help us?"
However, in a short period of time, the figure of the God of the Underworld slowly emerged from the blood clot.
He was extremely sturdy, about three or four meters tall, with dark skin. The most bizarre thing was that he had a big nose and a big mouth, and a pair of horns on his head.
Damn it, what kind of monster is that? Is it really the underworld god invited by Master Chu and others
The eyes of Hades were similar to those of a cow. When he breathed, black air would come out of his nose. He looked directly at Master Chu and the others. After a while, he spoke: "Since I came here from the underworld, I naturally want to help you, but..."
Having said this, the God of the Underworld fell silent again.
This is really embarrassing. If you have something to say, just say it, but now he suddenly stopped talking and stopped talking. Is he asking us to guess what he is thinking? Who can guess!
Although I was very surprised by the appearance of the God of the Underworld, I was not impressed by him in my heart.
Long Yuanda respectfully clasped his fists towards the Hades and said, "Master Hades, do you have any other instructions? If you have any instructions, please tell us. If we Taoists can complete them,
If you can, we will do our best to help!"
Now that things have come to this, I think it's time for Lord Hades to express his thoughts.
But later, the words of the Hades surprised us.
He cleared his throat and said to us with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple. You invited me here this time, but it only cost me a few ghost pills. But ghost pills are easy to get for you Taoist priests in the world of the living. But for us ghost officials in the underworld, ghost pills are very rare."
"so... ... "
Having said this, the God of Hades stopped talking again.
He didn't say anything more, but we already understood what he meant.
It turns out that this guy felt that the ghost pills offered by Master Chu and others before were too few.
Master Chu also understood what the Hades meant. After all, it was more important for us to get out of the cave at this moment. Although Master Chu knew that the Hades in front of him was threatening us, we had no other choice.
"Okay, okay, as long as Master Hades is willing to help, we are willing to give you another thirty ghost pills as a reward for your help!"
Master Chu clasped his fists towards the so-called God of the Underworld.
But what we didn't expect was that the god of the underworld actually licked his lips slowly and raised his index finger.
Raising the index finger, what does this mean
Before we could figure out what the Hades God meant, he said impatiently, "If thirty Ghost Pills are not enough, at least one hundred. If you don't have one hundred Ghost Pills, I won't help you!"
Looking at the God of the Underworld standing there with such a big mouth, I felt a surge of resentment in my heart.
Is this the god of the underworld? Why do I feel that what Master Chu and his team invited is not the god of the underworld, but a robber who is greedy for money!
"This... Lord Hades, you want a hundred ghost pills at once, that's a lot! We are just small Taoist priests in the world of the living, we can't afford so many ghost pills!"
Long Yuanda's eyes flickered as he bargained with the God of the Underworld.
But the Hades didn't give Long Yuanda any chance. He shouted coldly, "Okay, I'll take a hundred ghost pills. Otherwise, I, the Mighty Hades, won't help you. And look at the time. The three incense sticks are almost burned out. If you don't agree, you'll have to wait until a month to summon the gods!"
What the underworld god said was right, there is a time limit for the Taoist priests to "invite the gods".
Generally speaking, a Taoist priest can only invite the underworld god once a month. Whether the underworld god comes or not depends on his mood.
But the guy in front of him, who called himself "The Powerful God of the Underworld", was blatantly blackmailing him.
For a moment, I felt disgusted with those guys working in the underworld.
After hearing what Hades said, Master Chu and the others looked at each other.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Master Chu bowed and said, "Well, since Lord Hades has said so, we will meet your request. But one hundred ghost pills are not many, so we may need to pool them together!"
Upon hearing that Master Chu and others had agreed to his request, the "Powerful God of the Underworld" burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, go and gather them. I'll wait for you here. As long as you gather enough ghost pills, I will help you move the boulder at the entrance of the cave. In my opinion, this boulder is only about 10,000 pounds. It won't be a problem for me at all!"
The words of Hades made Master Chu and the others look disgusted, but this was not the time to bargain with the Hades, they still had to leave as soon as possible.
After all, we are here to deal with that Taoist Yang Chen.
Moreover, it won’t take long for Taoist Yang Chen to refine the Rejuvenation Pill.
Then Master Chu and others stood up from the ground, called us together, and asked us to take the ghost pills.
Others took out a lot of ghost pills, and I gave the ghost pills I had obtained earlier to Master Chu.
But even so, the total number of ghost pills collected by everyone was only ninety-seven, and there was still three missing.
Seeing that Master Chu handed the ghost pill to him, the powerful Hades smiled happily.
But when he discovered that three ghost pills were missing, his face immediately drooped.
"What's going on? Why are there three less ghost pills?"
"Are you guys teasing me on purpose?"
The Hades raised his neck and spoke angrily.
His body stood there like a wall, full of imposing power.
"No, no... Lord Hades, you misunderstood. It's not that we don't want to prepare ghost pills for you, but we don't have any ghost pills on us! If we were outside, we might be able to get that thing, but now we are trapped in this cave, it's a bit difficult!"
Master Chu tried to explain.
But the god of the underworld was still very dissatisfied.
He stood there without saying a word, quietly watching the three incense sticks burning on the ground.
Those three incense sticks would probably burn out in less than ten minutes. And looking at the posture of this powerful Hades God, he would not do it if he was not given enough ghost pills.
Master Chu and others also had a layer of cold sweat on their foreheads.
They were so anxious that they were running around like ants on a hot pot. Xiao Junmin was still urging us, saying, "Do you have the ghost pill? If you do, don't hide it. You can get it later!"
But the others all shook their heads.
Master Chu, who was at his wit's end, turned to the Hades and asked, "Lord Hades, we really don't have any ghost pills. How about this? You can ask for something else! We are also willing to give you ghost weapons or something like that."
But what was infuriating was that the powerful god of the underworld was shaking his head.
It said unhappily, "I only want the ghost pills. I don't care about anything else. If you don't have the ghost pills, you can stay in this cave. If you are lucky, maybe you can get out of here before you starve to death."
Damn it, this is the god of the underworld. He is no different from an extortionist.
Everyone was very dissatisfied with the words of Hades, but no matter how dissatisfied we were, we couldn't attack Hades. Even if we did, we wouldn't be his opponent.
At this time, a light bulb suddenly appeared in my head, and I said to Master Chu and others: "Master Chu, I may know where there are ghost pills!"
After hearing what I said, Master Chu and others focused their attention on me.
It makes me feel a little embarrassed.
The mighty Hades was already overjoyed. If he couldn't find the three ghost pills, he wouldn't have to do it himself. If he didn't do it, he could get ninety-seven ghost pills for free. This was a good deal, and it didn't even cost him any energy.
"Little Taoist priest, do you know where to find the ghost pills? ... Then tell me where they are! If you can gather a hundred ghost pills, I will help you move the huge rock at the entrance of the cave!"
The powerful Hades looked at me with amusement and contempt in his eyes.
Xiao Junmin squinted his eyes and said quickly, "Yang boy, don't waste time, tell me where the ghost pill is!"
