Now let’s talk about Ghost World Castle.
Seeing Zhang Rong and Zhu Xinglong bowing to the purple-robed man and calling him "Lord of the Golden Castle", I realized that the purple-robed man in front of me was the Lord of the Ghost Realm Castle, Jin Yan, as mentioned by Magu.
"Lord of the Golden Castle!"
I immediately bowed as well. After all, this time we came here unexpectedly to ask for help, so we had to be respectful.
The man in purple robe glanced at Zhang Rong and Zhu Xinglong, and then his eyes fell on me.
His eyes were very sharp, like two knives, making me feel uncomfortable.
"Boy, your body structure is different from theirs... You are from the mortal world! Why did you come to my ghost world castle? What is your purpose?"
Lord Jinbao directly revealed my identity.
Seeing his serious look, I couldn't help but become alert.
Seeing this, Zhang Rong on the side hurriedly took out the Pavilion Master's Order and showed it to Jin Yan.
Zhang Rong hurriedly said, "Master Jinbao, you misunderstood. We have no purpose in coming here. Look, this is the Pavilion Master Order given to us by Lady Magu. She hopes that you can help us provide for the guest of the Pavilion and send him out of the underworld safely."
"Help a person in the mortal world?"
"How could Magu think of helping a person from the mortal world? It's really strange!"
The dark eyebrows of the Jinbao Lord were tightly knitted together, as if two black caterpillars were crawling on his face. The look he gave me was not only sharp, but also a bit unfriendly.
I didn't dare to say anything, and stared at this "Golden Castle Master". I didn't know what he was thinking.
But the good thing is that this Lord of the Golden Castle probably has no ill will towards me.
After a while, the Lord of Jinbao turned his head and asked Zhang Rong, "Did something happen at the Gongyang Pavilion? It's just a person from the mortal world. Magu should be able to handle it herself. Although the underworld prohibits people from the mortal world from entering, if the chief of the underworld deliberately helps to conceal it, even the people from the Hades' Palace will find it difficult to catch anything."
"But Magu asked you to send this kid to my ghost world castle. Could it be that you are in such a hurry to come here because the people in the King of Hell's Palace have discovered that there are people from the mortal world in the Gongyang Pavilion's territory?"
The Lord of Jin Castle is a thoughtful man, and he got everything he said right.
Zhang Rong nodded repeatedly and said in a hurry, "That's right, Lord Jin, you are right. There are indeed people from the Hades Palace coming to our Gongyang Pavilion, and they are the pretty boy from the Hades Palace, Cui Fujun. That's why Lady Magu arranged for us to come to you. I hope you can help and send our guests from the Gongyang Pavilion away."
Then Zhang Rong briefly mentioned my situation to Lord Jinbao.
"I see. I was wondering why the money and food that the Support Pavilion had to send to the Ghost Realm Castle on the date a few months ago had not been delivered. It turned out that there were ghosts causing trouble."
"That Zuo Weiran actually rebelled against the Gongyang Pavilion and wanted to use the 'Fen Tiantai' to blow up the Gongyang Pavilion? He is really crazy!"
After listening to Zhang Rong's words, Lord Jinbao stood there muttering to himself.
I looked at Zhang Rong and Zhu Xinglong. They looked anxious.
However, Lord Jinbao seemed to be in no hurry.
But after a while, Lord Jinbao's expression suddenly changed as if he had thought of something.
He quickly said to us, "No, I know that Cui Fujun very well. He seems to be very efficient in doing things. If there is no order from Lord Yama, he would definitely not dare to go to the Offering Pavilion on his own. In this case, Lord Yama may have known about this matter."
"Not good! I'm afraid that Lord Cui will search the entire Offering Pavilion, including the restricted space inside the Offering Pavilion."
After that, the Lord of the Golden Castle said to Zhang Rong and Zhu Xinglong, "Well, you guys should leave our Ghost Castle through the space teleportation array first, and I will take this boy from the Yang world to our Ghost Castle.
The passage to the fortress."
"There is a door in the passage of the Ghost Realm Castle that leads directly to the world of the living. When you go back, tell Magu that I, Jin Yan, will help her with this matter. After all, your Gongyang Pavilion has been very good to our Ghost Realm Castle, and your guests are also guests of my Ghost Realm Castle."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Lord Jinbao!"
After that, Zhang Rong and Zhu Xinglong briefly said a few words to me, and then they stood on the space teleportation array on the Ghost Realm Castle side.
Then Lord Jinbao used his Pavilion Master Order to press the stone tablet engraved with the three words "Gongyang Pavilion".
The dark patterns surged, and Zhang Rong and Zhu Xinglong were quickly teleported out.
When Zhang Rong and Zhu Xinglong left the Ghost Realm Castle, the dark energy suddenly rose from the body of the Golden Castle Master. His purple robe suddenly swelled up, and then the cuffs of the purple robe began to grow larger. It seemed that the clothes of the Golden Castle Master were also a dark treasure robe, and it was probably of a very high level.
"Come in, enter my advanced underworld weapon, the 'Qian Kun Sleeve'. I will take you to the passage to the Ghost Realm Castle and send you out of the underworld."
Qiankun sleeves? This reminds me of a phrase: "The world is in the sleeves."
However, Lord Jin's sleeves had become really big, and the cuffs were like round gates without any wrinkles. They looked as straight as iron sleeves.
Seeing that I hesitated a little, the Lord of Jinbao said again: "Don't worry, my 'Qian Kun Sleeve' is very safe. It's hard for others to find you when you stay inside... By the way, boy from the mortal world, what's your name?"
I replied, "Master Jin, my name is Yang Tianyi, and I am a Taoist priest who catches ghosts in the world of the living."
The Lord of Jinbao nodded and urged, "Come in quickly, Yang Tianyi, don't waste time. Otherwise, when Lord Cui arrives from the Offering Pavilion, we won't be able to leave."
"Okay, Lord Jin."
I bowed and quickly slipped into the Qiankun sleeve of Lord Jinbao.
The space inside the Qiankun Sleeve is not big, only about ten square meters. The decoration inside is a bit like the side room in the ancient government office, with a table, chairs, and a bed with a curtain.
After seeing me go in, the Lord of the Golden Castle sent me a message, saying, "Then you can stay in there for now. I will take you away from the Ghost Realm Castle."
Soon the Lord of Jin Castle set off.
The environment of Ghost Realm Castle is much better than that of Gongyang Pavilion. It is surrounded by lush vegetation and mountains. When Lord Jin walked, I could hear the sound of flowing water outside. But unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to see the scenery of Ghost Realm Castle.
In fact, Guijie Castle is a castle built with gray bricks, and its appearance is a bit like a Renaissance building.
The Lord of the Golden Castle was not riding in a paper carriage or paper horses, but in a real carriage and horses.
Sitting on the bed, inside the sleeve, I could hear the creaking sound of the wheels outside.
I don't know how long it was, but just when I was leaning on the bed and feeling a little sleepy, the sound of the carriage wheels stopped.
Later, the voice of the Lord of the Golden Castle came, "Yang Tianyi, you can come out now. We have reached the entrance of the Ghost Realm Castle."
Are we there yet? So soon
I looked at the time on my watch.
Previously it was around ten o'clock in the morning, and now it is around eleven o'clock.
Before I came out of the Qiankun sleeve, the cuff suddenly became bigger. Then the Qiankun sleeve began to tilt, and then I slid directly out along the Qiankun sleeve. The other things in the sleeve seemed to be nailed in space, without any movement.
With a "click".
My butt landed first, but it didn't hurt because I was sitting on a piece of grass.
Seeing me slip out of the Qiankun sleeve, Lord Jin did not ask any more questions and said quickly, "Let's go. The passage to our Ghost Realm Castle is usually opened at noon. The space rules here are similar to those in the Yang World."
After I came out, I
I felt that I was surrounded by green trees and green grass, so green that it seemed unreal.
When I looked up, I found a red sun appeared above my head.
There is the sun, flowing water, and plants. The spatial rules here are really similar to those in the world of the living.
Is this the territory of the Ghost Realm Castle? Not bad at all.
Seeing me in a daze, the Lord of the Golden Castle frowned and said solemnly, "Yang Tianyi, don't look at it. Those things are all fake, all illusions. The Ghost Realm Castle is not as good as you think. Hurry up, wait until we get to the other side of the passage, I will take you away from here first."
Is what I see all an illusion
If this is an illusion, it is too real.
But it is also impossible for someone to move the sun from the living world to the underworld. If that were the case, there might be no living world.
I patted my butt and quickly stood up from the ground.
At this time, Lord Jinbao had already taken a step and was walking ahead.
Under the guidance of the Lord of Jinbao, I entered a deep grove. The trees in the grove looked a bit like locust trees, and many of their branches had dried up, but they still stood there, like a decayed human skeleton, sticking out.
There was sunshine outside, but there was none inside the grove. In fact, I felt it was a little shady.
But the good thing is that I can see things barely.
Under our feet was a flat path paved with gray bricks.
The ground was wet, but the gray bricks were dry.
Seeing my curious look, looking around and moving slowly, the Lord of Jinbao said with some displeasure: "Yang Tianyi, I didn't bring you here to play. You are a person from the Yang world, and you will be in danger in the underworld. Not to mention the ghosts, the ghost officials in charge of patrolling the Hades Palace will not let you go."
"So I'd better get you out of here quickly."
After hearing what Lord Jinbao said, I felt a little embarrassed.
Then we quickened our pace and walked deeper into the woods.
On the way, I asked Lord Jinbao indirectly about the "Time Disk".
After asking around, I learned that the "Time Disc" that "records past events in the living world" is placed in the inner court of the King of Hell's Palace. But it takes a lot of energy to open the Time Disc, and even the King of Hell would not use it easily.
I was thinking that if I still couldn't find out the cause of Su Su's death after returning to the world of the living, I would take the risk of coming to the underworld again. Now it seems that the guards in the Hades Palace are very strict, and the Time Disc is in the inner palace. I am afraid it is unrealistic for me to see it.
Shaking my head, I thought to myself, it seems that after returning to the world of the living, I will have to rely on myself to carefully investigate the cause of Susu's death.
Soon, Lord Jin and I arrived at the end of the grove.
At the end of the grove there was a towering tree, as thick as several people's arms, with lush branches and leaves, and a complex root system that was entangled and twisted like long snakes crawling on the ground.
What surprised me was that there was a door on top of the giant tree.
A black painted door.
Next to the black lacquered gate stood four ghost officials wearing black robes.
Those ghost officials were holding harpoon-shaped ghost objects in their hands.
"We're here! This is the passage to our Ghost Realm Castle, which leads to the world of the living. Wait a minute, Yang Tianyi, tell me the coordinates of your home, and I'll have those ghost officials take you away immediately."
Afterwards, Lord Jinbao called the four black-robed ghost officials over and spoke to them for a few words.
Those ghost officials naturally knew that the Lord of Golden Castle was the lord of the castle in the ghost world, so they all respected and admired the Lord of Golden Castle very much.
But just when the black lacquered door was about to be opened, there was a sudden fluctuation above our heads.
A deep voice came from a distance.
"Stop, you boy from the mortal world! You are not allowed to leave the ghost world castle! Otherwise, you will die now!!"
