The teenager confessed that he was not from the Ji family, and caught Liu Wen and others by surprise.
"How is that possible? You have been growing up in the inner courtyard of the palace. If it wasn't for the royal family, how could the empress dowager and the first emperor raise you? You must know that mixing up the blood of the royal family is a big sin for the nine clans." Or, the real master of this body It's Emperor Chun, who is the lone ghost who occupies the magpie's nest? Liu Wen looked suspicious.
"No matter what you are pretending to be crazy about, just go up and open the door!" Liu Chuanshan's tone was extremely impatient.
Seeing that the master was also nodding at him, Yu Shu had no choice but to step forward and put his palm on the groove. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and realized that this door was really mysterious. The handprint on it was not too big or not too small, and it matched his own. If someone else came here, it would definitely not work.
Shimen hadn't seen any movement for a long time. He lifted it up, smashed the blade of yesterday's knife, put a little blood on it and pressed it again, but he still didn't move.
"Neither?" Liu Wen and the others were disappointed.
"Forget it, hurry up and bandage the wound." Meng Changye tried to pull the boy away, but heard him whisper, "Let me try again."
This door is too similar to the ghost door, and it cannot be opened with blood, so what about the use of Emperor Ziwei Qi and golden light of merit? Anyway, there is no other way, but try hard. Thinking like this, Youshu forced the whole body of Emperor Ziwei's qi and golden light of merit into the palm of his hand, and pressed down hard.
Liu Wen and the others were stunned when they saw his palm suddenly glow with purple-gold light. This, what is this? Immortal
The relief on the stone door absorbs the purple-gold light bit by bit, so it becomes full of light and beautiful. After a while, the creaking sound of the mechanism being activated came from the ground, and the two doors that were still tightly meshed finally slowly slowly. Opening it, revealing a dark, bottomless step extending downward, and an extremely cold air blowing towards the face.
Everyone was shivering because of the cold air, and they were terrified for a while.
"Actually, it's really opened. What is that golden light?" Liu Chuanshan looked at the young man with a faint look of astonishment in his eyes. Such a scene is obviously beyond his cognition range, as if the muddy mud that he had disliked before had turned into a Bodhisattva in the temple in a blink of an eye. The rest of the people are also respectful and awe-inspiring, and their hearts are worthy of being the legendary true dragon bloodline, and there is something magical about it.
Only Meng Changye didn't change his expression at all, but he just stretched out his hand and grabbed the dog's arm. This man is so mysterious, he is afraid that he will run away.
Youshu was also a little surprised, but quickly calmed down. Seeing Liu Wen lit a candle to detect the air below, he found that there was no miasma, so he gathered a group of people and prepared to take them down, and quickly stopped them, "Master, this door and the ghost of the underworld. The doors are very similar. I'm afraid this is not a simple underground palace and organs. Maybe there will be some dirt. You take everyone down. If everyone is in danger together, who will come to help? Miscellaneous, if anyone touches the mechanism, everyone will only die faster if they huddle together, it is better to order a few strong players to explore."
Liu Wen planned to use the violent dismantling method to obtain the treasure, that is to say, no matter what the underground palace building was, all of it would be destroyed, and a thousand people would be enough. But now he is a little bit clueless about the young man's bottom line, and he pays special attention to his words. He could also see that the palm print on the stone door just overlapped with the boy's right hand. If it was bigger, it couldn't be pressed in, and if it was smaller, it couldn't fill the gap. Open the underground palace, as if the things in this palace are specially prepared for him.
"Okay, then order a few people to go down and explore." He nodded in agreement.
"I'll go." Several of the lieutenants were bold and raised their hands together.
"I want to go too." Youshu lowered her head and looked at the bottomless steps with a confused and sad look in her eyes. He faintly felt that there was something calling him from below, which was very important.
"What are you doing? Just stay on it for me." Meng Changye had planned to visit in person, but he would never take the puppy with him.
The two tugged for a while, but finally Meng Changye gave in, and his ears were so red that blood dripped from his ears, just because this bastard was very good at coaxing people, he said, "I'll go wherever you go, and I'll die with you. Son", made him go mad with joy, but he had to maintain a majestic demeanor in front of his subordinates.
"Why are you so obsessed with people? Will you die if you leave Lao Tzu? That's all, go as far as you want, but you are not allowed to take a step away from Lao Tzu on the way, do you hear? Once you are in danger, go up to Lao Tzu!" In fact, flowers have already opened in my heart.
You Shu quickly nodded in agreement.
Liu Wen has long been used to the two people's tiredness regardless of the occasion, so he ordered 18 soldiers with high martial arts skills, and together they were exactly 20, no more, no less. Before going down, You Shu distributed the pre-made communication talisman and exhorted, "There is a drop of my blood in this talisman, and if you cut your fingers and drop a drop in it, you can talk to me." He folded it into a The triangular talisman was attached to his forehead, and he demonstrated, "If you are separated from me, stick the talisman between your eyebrows like this, and then meditate on what you want to say, so that I can hear and communicate with you. If you enter a maze, etc. When one person goes out, the others only need to close their eyes and walk according to Fu Lu's instructions, and they can also go out."
"Boy, are you pretending to be crazy and acting stupid again? Are you tired?" a lieutenant jeered. If this crap was really that magical, he cut off his head and used it as a stool for Emperor Chun to sit on.
"I'd rather believe it or not, and do as Ji Gongzi said." Liu Wen pierced his fingertips and dripped a drop of blood. Just now everyone saw the purple-gold light, how should they explain it? Maybe the words that this person said before, "one body and two souls, Taoism, ghosts" and so on, are all true. At this time, it is always right to have an extra layer of preparation.
Over there, Meng Changye had already dripped his own blood into it, raised his eyebrows and watched as the blood beads quickly merged into the yellow talisman, forming a shimmer of light covering the surface.
"Good guy, it's actually glowing! Is it really useful?" Liu Chuanshan also dripped blood, and then showed a dumbfounded expression. When everyone saw it, they no longer hesitated, and they stabbed their fingertips to let blood.
Youshu took out another human-shaped talisman and gave it to the general guarding outside. "This is the general's life talisman. If you find any signs of folded corners, defects, or burns on the talisman, you should hurry down and respond."
Although the general was dubious, he did not dare to neglect, and nodded quickly in agreement. Prepared torches, weapons, dry food and other items, the twenty people slowly descended the steps, just as their backs disappeared at the end of the tunnel, the two stone gates closed with lightning speed, calling the soldiers outside to have a good time. .
At this time, You Shu and the others did not know that the escape route had been cut off, and they were walking towards the depths of the underground palace step by step. This step is very long, as if there is no end to it, and it took two hours to finally reach a peaceful place. Meng Changye grabbed the boy tightly with one hand and held up the torch with the other, looking at the surroundings.
This is a cave, the walls of the cave are covered with bizarre stalactites, and clusters of glowing mushrooms and ferns are dotted between the cracks. The bright yellow light is enough to illuminate the surroundings.
"I don't know how big this underground palace is, but there are only so many torches. I'll ignite it when I need it. Let's put it out for now." You Shu Qingyue's voice echoed in the cave.
Meng Changye extinguished the torch without saying a word, and the rest of the people thought it was reasonable and did the same. Without the interference of the flames, the light of the plants is softer and more colorful, and it looks like a fairyland at first glance.
"What is this? I have never seen a weed that glows in my life." A lieutenant reached out to touch a fern. When his fingertips were only an inch away from the leaves, he listened to the military advisor and Emperor Chun. Qi Qi warned, "Don't touch, be careful of poison."
He was terrified, and was about to withdraw his hand, but a living creature the size of a mouse jumped out of the grass, squeaked and slammed into his face, and quickly drilled into his mouth. This chirping seemed to open a mechanism, and dense little black shadows jumped out of the grass and crawled towards the general.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Before everyone could see what the black shadow was, they raised their knives and rushed forward. The closest man only slashed a few times before screaming, "Ah, what the hell is this? What the hell is this shit?"
A few more people gathered around to chop and chop, and then their eyes were split, because these black figures were not mice or beetles, but small people. They were as skinny as firewood, with slender limbs, but their heads were incomparably huge. With just one mouth, two rows of sharp teeth were exposed, biting at the body of the deputy general inch by inch. There were also a few villains squatting on the lieutenant's face, pulling the tongue out of his mouth and continuously extending it.
The lieutenant rolled back and forth and struggled, but he couldn't even let out the slightest groan of pain. Ben was also terrified when he tried to save his comrades, slashing back while swinging his saber. Meng Changye threw the puppy to a lieutenant, ordered him to take the man away, and then rushed over to help with a knife. His swordsmanship was very sharp, and he took the life of the villain like a gust of wind, but for a moment, the road he advanced was covered with black and red blood and small corpses.
The disciples were encouraged and rushed over, but they did not expect the strong fishy smell to attract more villains, who climbed densely and layer by layer on the cave wall, and then rushed up. There are constantly black shadows strewn around the crowd, taking a bite here, scratching there, it is hard to prevent. They seem to have a soft spot for people's tongues, and a few of them will definitely pounce on the face, use their sharp claws to pry open the person's teeth, and pull the tongue out and stretch it until it is cut off.
But in a moment, all the human bodies were covered with a dense layer of villains, and they couldn't get rid of them, and some even had their tongues torn off. Only Yu Shu formed a blank circle around her, and when the villain approached, she screamed and fled, as if burned by fire.
The general who was in charge of protecting him was very surprised, and inadvertently saw him jump on the general and slap the villain away.
"These things are hungry ghosts! Hungry ghosts in the six realms of hell!" As he explained, he took out a few talismans from his sleeve pocket, and used Emperor Ziwei Qi to activate them. The talisman burned instantly, emitting a dazzling purple light, and the hungry ghosts screamed in unison, and finally turned into fly ash and dissipated in the light. A few hungry ghosts hid in the crevices where the light could not shine, and then they escaped, but they never dared to go forward, and they burrowed into the depths of the cave.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, not bothering to check their injuries, and hurriedly went to help the lieutenant who suffered first.
"Old Li, Lao Li, how are you?" Liu Wen pinched the opponent hard, seeing that his tongue was still hanging outside, many bloody wounds had been pulled out by the evil ghost, and he couldn't help feeling horrified.
"This, what exactly is this place, how can there be ghosts?" Liu Chuanshan's voice was shaking. He never believed in ghosts and gods, but he had to believe it after several times. The rest of the people also showed lingering expressions, and then Qi Qi looked at Emperor Chun. Before, they always thought that this person was pretending to be crazy and selling stupid, but only now did they realize that it was their own clumsy eyes, and they couldn't even distinguish such a true god.
A few talismans burn tens of thousands of hungry ghosts to death, how deep is the Taoism
"It's me who didn't think carefully." You Shu took out twenty yellow talismans from the package and distributed them one by one, "When I saw that door, I should have understood that this is not an underground palace, but an underground palace. Enter the underground palace. It’s easy to get out, but it’s hard to get out. I’m afraid that door has been closed now. I’m afraid we have no way out, we can only move forward. This is a talisman, which can disperse evil spirits, but it has a certain time limit. Zhang Xin's."
No one satirized him this time, and immediately picked up Fu Lu for personal collection. Meng Changye put the previous communication talisman on his forehead and called silently, "Dog?"
"Why?" You Shu pulled out the powder that had been prepared earlier, sprinkled it evenly on his wound, and took out a sterile cloth bandage.
"It's alright, I just wanted to call you." Meng Changye touched his cheek, and his heart was settled. Those hungry ghosts were obviously very afraid of Shu, and didn't dare to hurt him, that's fine. If this place is really the underworld, even if he pierces the center of the earth, he has to send Youshu out safe and sound.
The rest of the people saw that the general had used the communication talisman, and then they felt it later, and they pressed their eyebrows and called out, "Mr. Ji? Yes, it can be seen that as long as the talisman is attached to the eyebrows at the same time, the communication can be unimpeded. This method is amazing!
Seeing that he couldn't wake up Old Li, Liu Wen quickly took out his talisman and put it on his forehead, calling anxiously, "Lao Li, wake up!"
Originally, you called me, I called you, and everyone who was playing together summoned the soul to Lao Li, and finally woke him up. Youshu burned a piece of talisman paper, threw it into the kettle to make talisman water, and fed it to him to drink. This time, no one suspected that he had poisoned him, but there was anticipation in his eyes.
Old Li Ben was still a little drowsy, but he woke up immediately after drinking the Talisman water, and even the pain from the wounds all over his body was reduced by half, and he slowly sat down with the help of Liu Wen and others.
"Mother, what the hell is that?" He retracted his elongated tongue and said vaguely.
Everyone was silent, unable to bear to tell him the truth. Ji Gongzi's superb methods have completely convinced them. Since he said that this is the underworld, he must be right. The living people actually entered the underworld, and I don't know if they still survived.
"What are you frustrated with? Roads are all made by people, and even if there is no road, I have to dig a way to ascend to heaven!" Meng Changye held the dog's fleshy paws with a firm tone.
"Yes, everyone, don't be discouraged, there may not be a way out." You Shu tried to wrap his arms around his master's broad shoulders, but because of his short hands, he could only half hug, so he patted and comforted, "Don't be afraid, General, I will take you safely. Take it out. It’s just the underworld, it’s not like I haven’t been here before.”
"Have you been here?" Liu Wen grasped the point.
"It's not the underworld here, but it's not far from it. We only need to enter the Hall of Yama and find the gate of the Six Paths, and then we can escape from the human realm." The master is no longer the King of Yama, but it does not mean that there is no way for Shu to escape. He thought for a moment, then added, "Just now, those hungry ghosts like to pluck their tongues. It seems that the structure of this underground palace is arranged according to the eighteen layers of hell. That is to say, this is the first layer of hell, the tongue-pulling hell. , and then go down to the scissors hell, the iron tree hell, the evil mirror hell, and so on."
Liu Wen said in horror, "You mean, we have to go through the eighteen layers of hell to enter the Yama Temple?"
Eighteen layers of hell, what a terrible place is that? Even evil spirits can't survive, let alone humans? Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they all showed a look of despair.
"What are you afraid of, you are here, just go down!" Meng Changye pulled the boy up and ordered, "Have you rested? After you rest, go on. I really want to see and learn about these eighteen levels of hell. !"
"Walk around, I'm afraid of an egg!" Liu Chuanshan immediately followed, but he was next to Emperor Chun intentionally or unintentionally. This is a true immortal. Whether he can leave alive or not depends on him. When everyone saw that their good position was snatched away, they quickly chased after them.
Facts quickly proved that Shu's inference was correct. After walking through the cave with flat terrain, there was a long staircase extending down in front of him. At the bottom of the step, there was another cave, which was still full of glowing plants. and grotesque stalactites. A few hungry ghosts rushed out like lightning, and as soon as they touched the corners of everyone's clothes, they were burned to charcoal by the ghost-expelling charm, and a pair of rusty scissors were pinched in their claws as black as dead branches.
"Amitabha! Fortunately, I have Ji Gongzi's amulet on his body, otherwise they would have to cut off his fingers one by one." Liu Chuanshan folded his hands together, and was terrified. He has completely transformed from an atheist to a Buddhist believer, and plans to go to the temple to worship as soon as he leaves the underworld, and then sincerely copy a few scriptures. Of course, he had to grind Young Master Ji and ask him to accept himself as his apprentice.
The rest of the people also dispelled their previous contempt and suspicion, and moved closer to Ji Gongzi, always feeling that it was safe to walk by his side. There was a rustling sound all around the cave wall, but within a short time it was crowded with hungry ghosts with big heads and round bellies and thin limbs, all holding a pair of scissors in their hands, opening and closing them.
But they were afraid to move because they were afraid of the Emperor Ziwei's aura emanating from someone, and they were all looking for opportunities. Youshu knew the principle of first being the strongest, igniting a few ghost exorcism talismans, burning them all to death, then stepping on the ashes and running quickly, and finally exited the second layer of hell.
The underground palace was bottomless, but it took a full twelve hours to go down two floors. Everyone was tired and hungry, ate some dry food hastily, lay down in the defensive formation prepared by Ji Gongzi, prepared to replenish their strength, and woke up one after another after sleeping for an unknown amount of time.
Liu Wen always felt that he had forgotten something, and when he saw that the general habitually threw the person in his arms out, he was startled, "No! Ji Gongzi has fallen asleep, who will lead the team? Is it relying on Chundi ?"
"Fuck it! I forgot about this! Emperor Chun's eggs are useless!" Liu Chuanshan cursed in anger.
Meng Changye's face was ashen, he took the package brought by the dog into his arms, opened it and rummaged through it carefully. But the handwriting on the talisman was too scribbled, and I couldn't read it clearly yesterday. I didn't even know what he burned and what it did. Moreover, he did not rely on an open flame to stimulate the talisman, and it could be ignited with a slight shake of the fingertips. Who has such skills? If it is ignited with a fire switch, will it still work
One by one, troubling problems emerged, not only Meng Changye was in a bad mood, but the rest of the crew also panicked and had no one. Unconsciously, Ji Gongzi has become the backbone of everyone. Following him is like chasing the beam, and sooner or later he will be able to escape and ascend to heaven. But if the core in the skin was replaced by Emperor Chun, the terrible situation would be unimaginable.
Until this time, they had no doubts about the "one body and two souls" that Ji Gongzi said, secretly admiring his superb methods, and hating Chundi who took over his body. Said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would arrive, only to hear a piercing scream from inside the cave, without looking to know that it was Emperor Chun's servant who woke up.
"Ahhh! What the hell is this place? When did you bring me in? It smells so bad! It's so dark! It's so cold! I want to go out!" , a hungry ghost rushed over. Fortunately, Meng Changye pulled him just in time to prevent him from breaking all his fingers.
"Be honest with me!" Meng Changye took out a sweat towel, stuffed it into Chundi's mouth, and skillfully tied him up, so that the world was clean. Seeing the densely packed hungry ghosts above his head, Emperor Chun was so frightened that he moved to General Huwei like a worm, trying to seek protection.
"Without Mr. Ji, we'd better not just go to the third level of hell." Liu Wen said solemnly.
"Yes, the third floor is the Iron Tree Hell. There is no chance that Shura will appear, and then we will be caught and hung on the Iron Tree and peeled." Another lieutenant was worried.
"Knock this guy out and replace Ji Gongzi to come back?" Liu Chuanshan gently kicked Emperor Chun.
"Stunned? Isn't it okay? Let's do nothing serious. What if Young Master Ji is injured?" Old Li hurriedly vetoed. He doesn't dare to hurt Ji Gongzi's hair now, not because of the general's face, but because he is in awe.
"The dog has a way to deal with it." Meng Changye pulled out a stack of talismans from the package. The oil paper on the outside had the three characters "Sleeping Talisman" written on it, and the use of the hairpin was introduced in detail in small letters. Putting the talisman on the forehead and then removing it can make people fall asleep and wake up again.
You Shu was worried that the body would be dominated by Emperor Chun, so he left behind this move. He wanted to explain, but he was so tired that he fell asleep unconsciously, so that he completely forgot about it.
Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a sleeping talisman and put it on Chundi's forehead, and when he closed his eyes, he tore it off, and then waited with burning eyes.
