Shen Bing said, "Oh," and said, "The person who protects me shouldn't be a bad person."
Zhao Chengshi shook his head and said, "I, Zhao Chengshi, have always been a good person in the eyes of others. You can't judge a person by his appearance, nor can you judge his character by his appearance. People like Boss Gu are treacherous but appear loyal. In order to achieve a certain goal, they will endure for many years just like me, and you can't see it on the surface."
I frowned and said, "Are they a branch of Northeastern Shamanism?"
"It seems to be related to shamanism, but according to my investigation, they should be closely related to Taoism. I have always speculated that this mysterious evil sect of theirs originated from the Yinshan Ghost City. It is from the same sect as the Five Ghosts Sect and the Bailing Sect back then."
At this point, Zhao Chengshi showed a bitter smile on his face, and continued: "If I knew they were so difficult to deal with, I would not have robbed this old zongzi. For this matter, I used the 'Frozen Soil Formation' to hide the old zongzi tightly underground, so that the other party could not find its whereabouts. For this reason, I also deliberately lived a hard life and did not reveal any edge."
I have heard of the frozen earth array, which is also an evil spell. Because the evaporation of the ground air will reveal whether there are bones buried under the ground, a sharp-eyed Feng Shui master can detect it at a glance. If the earth is frozen, the ground air will not rise, so no matter how sharp the Feng Shui master is, he cannot tell whether there are bones underneath. To get the old Zongzi out, digging is not feasible, because the frozen earth has frozen the bones for too long, and if you take them out by force, they will turn into corpses. Only by blowing in the cold wind can the old Zongzi revive and break out of the ground by itself.
Zhao Chengshi sighed again and continued, "But Boss Gu still competed with me because of saving you in Shangcheng Town. He found out my true identity and discovered the secret of the corpse buried under my bed. Although we both suffered losses in Death Valley, Boss Gu had an unclear connection with Death Valley and escaped after being swallowed by the flower of hell. After I died in Cangshui Pond, my soul finally escaped to the entrance of Death Valley, but was caught by Boss Gu.
"He took me all the way back to the provincial capital, but he couldn't hold on any longer and died in the fields. On the night his body was transported to the police station morgue, his companions came, a man in black and this little goblin. They cremated the body and took me back to the provincial capital. They had already learned from Boss Gu's message that I was hiding the old Zongzi, and they threatened and bribed me at the time. For the sake of my wife and children, I told them the truth. Who knew that they were a bunch of beasts. Not only did they not fulfill their promise to me at the time, but they viciously harmed my entire family, making my Zhao family extinct from now on, and I can't rest in peace even as a ghost!"
Shen Bing snorted and cursed, "You deserve it. You brought this upon yourself. It's really pitiful for my sister-in-law to marry you and suffer the consequences."
"Yes, yes!" Zhao Chengshi now didn't dare to contradict us at all.
At this time, Gong Chao pointed ahead and reminded us: "Look, there seems to be a house ahead."
We both looked forward along the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there were shadowy shadows, houses under the gray sky. Zhao Chengshi frowned, as if he couldn't tell where it was. I knew it well, so I smiled and said, "We're almost out of the underworld."
Shen Bing also said with joy: "That is the underworld. It turns out that in the underworld, you can still see the Nine Nether Street. It's amazing!"
"What, that's the underworld?" Gong Chao, Zhao Chengshi and Gong Cuiruo shouted at the same time.
Gong Cuiruo no longer cared about the pain, and looked at the shadows of those houses with joy. This place was the place she had always dreamed of. Because her ashes were detained, she had not been able to do so.
I turned to look at Zhao Chengshi and asked, "Where did you hide the remaining ashes of Ruoruo's feet?"
"There are three more copies hidden under the blue bricks of the dragon-making bureau, with talismans attached to prevent others from finding them. After you get out, you just need to dig out the blue bricks and pour some clean water on the urn, and you can take them out safely." Zhao Chengshi confessed hurriedly.
