The capital of Laos, Vientiane.
Temples and Buddhist temples can be seen everywhere, very natural in this country of Theravada Buddhism. Other places are similar to Huaguo County.
Walking on the street, there are commodity stores with the Huaguo logo everywhere. Chinese can also be found everywhere. And the best university in Laos, the National University of Laos… The facilities are not even as good as some of the better middle schools in China…
However, there are also Chinese students here. There are independent and public. Zhou Gu is one of them.
Everyone in the National University knows that Zhou Gu is the most famous school grass in this class. He is handsome, gentle, and more importantly... No matter whether it is piano, electronic organ, guitar, bass... or even guzheng, Guqin, he plays all of them. slip. Every school meeting and performances have his shadow.
Also known for his temperament.
He hardly talks to people unless he communicates with music, and the university also pays a high price to live in a room by himself, never sharing a dormitory with others.
Not gregarious, relying on talent and pride. It's his label.
The temperature in Laos is not low. It is close to the tropics. In August in China, T-shirts, shorts and slippers are already worn here, but Zhou Gu is still wearing a baseball cap, headphones, and sports shoes. Walking through the corridor, it attracted the eyes of the girl who did not know it secretly.
"So handsome..." A female student blinked and looked at Zhou Gu's 1.8 meter back: "If I can marry him, I can also live in China..."
The girl beside her smiled and said, "Stop dreaming, the famous Flower of the High Ridges doesn't talk about anything except music. Even if they are overseas students in China, few of them can talk."
"Have you seen his dormitory? It must be very romantic. I imagine it is full of musical instruments, and there is a guzheng he played at the last orientation meeting." "Dreaming? Even if they are the same international students, no one can enter. He never talks in the dormitory." "It's so mysterious... But the more mysterious, the more handsome I feel~~"
Of course Zhou Gu couldn't hear this. Even if I hear it, I don't care at all.
When he came to the door of the dormitory, he habitually looked around before opening the door. closed immediately.
It's not what everyone thinks.
In the dormitory, there are no musical instruments at all, some... just sticky talismans, and... full of coffins!
These coffins are very small... No, it is not appropriate to say that they are coffins. They are like containers, in the shape of people, tightly wrapped in talisman paper, and painted with vermilion cinnabar. There wasn't even a bed in the room. What was originally a bed turned out to be a Ksitigarbha Buddha statue!
The moment he entered the door, a yin wind suddenly gathered, and finally, it turned into a yin soldier wearing the armor of ancient China, half-kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, and said solemnly: "Great Governor, there is news."
The look in Zhou Gu's eyes at the moment does not look like a college boy at all. The look in his eyes is so complicated that he looks like an old man who has passed hundreds of years.
Wisdom, indifference, and some unspeakable emotions, like an abyss, can't see the end at all.
He beckoned, and a bit of soul fire attached to a white paper floated. After taking it over and looking at it, he sneered after a long time: "Liu Jinu really thinks of himself as an emperor? He has been dead for hundreds of years, but he is just an underworld evildoer... No, it is not evil, now we are all ghosts, no canonized."
The Yin Soldier knelt in front of him, not daring to say a word.
"At the end of the year, I would like Bendu and Yang Jiye to go back to the old underworld to have a look? What edicts are still in use? Why is he? Don't you know that Bendu was born hundreds of years earlier than him?" , turned to ashes.
The Yin Bing bowed his head and said respectfully: "Then, Governor, the villain is going to reply to Master Liu? Not going?"
"No." Unexpectedly, Zhou Gu slowly said, "No hurry."
He just paced in the house so slowly, a room that was clearly cramped, but he walked out of the dignified taste. After a few seconds, he raised his head to look at the dark ceiling, and said faintly: "Anyway, this Governor is also Zhou Gongjin... New Yama ascended the throne, if you don't know, don't go to the court... It's against the minister's way..."
As soon as the words fell, the pupils in his eyes suddenly turned into two golden ghosts, beating slowly.
"Sir..." Yin Bing finally couldn't help but said: "But... the old underworld has collapsed... We are the underworld under the canonization of the old underworld, what do we have to do with the new underworld?"
Zhou Gongjin glanced at the Yin Soldier lightly, and suddenly brought up an irrelevant topic: "You know... why didn't Liu Jinu completely turn against the underworld?"
Without waiting for an answer, he continued: "With the support of the soldiers, in the past 100 years, the Governor, as the inspector, has given more than a dozen memorials to the old underworld. There was no response at all. In the first ninety years, the aftermath of the collapse of the underworld is still there. , I can't even enter. That is to say, I have only had the opportunity to go back in the past few years, and the price is very high. Everyone knows that the old underworld has undergone major changes. The regular army is completely different from the scattered Yin spirits of the Taoist Lord. Why doesn't he rebel?"
The Yin Bing was stunned for a while, the Yin Qi kept flowing in and out of the seven orifices, showing that he was thinking desperately, and it took a long time to say: "Master Liu... Didn't you hear that you want to be independent?"
"Independence does not mean rebellion." Zhou Yu sighed softly: "I mean, he can drive troops into the underworld and forcefully change the sky. He has this strength, and even... he and the three Taoist masters have no obvious conflict of interest. There is no need to worry about the Taoist rebelling against Yin and Yang, he just wants to be the emperor. But why not?"
The Yin soldier was completely stunned and shook his head.
Zhou Yu covered his forehead helplessly: "Because... the general trend."
Without waiting for the other party to ask, he vented and said: "It's not just the twelve days who look at the underworld, but the twelve days, there are Yin spirits who will definitely take refuge in the new underworld, and there are Yin spirits that won't, and there are also people like Bendu. Those who are undecided... But even those who don't join forces are only independent, because they all know that the western world... Yama, who is poisoned, is also watching China."
He took a deep breath: "That... is the real opponent! The world... can eat people... From ancient times to the present, how many underworlds are left? There are only a handful of them."
"Except for our special status, we now know that the old underworld has collapsed. Other forces don't know about it. Once someone takes the position of the new underworld master, he will immediately become a thorn in the eyes of other underworlds! How brilliant the old underworld was, now there are The opportunity to step on this underworld is a vanity that no underworld can refuse. Not to mention... and the inheritance of the old underworld, this is a bait worthy of the underworld to attack!"
He said quietly: "No one dares to sit in this position. Whoever sits up will be the target of all the critics of other underworlds in a hundred years. Those who can be officials of the frontier... Except for a sincere person like Yu Qian, other people... Which one is not a mature person? monster?"
The room fell silent.
After a few minutes, the Yin Soldier asked in a low voice, "The Governor, we..."
"It's better to go and have a look." Zhou Yu finally came to a conclusion: "The end of this year... It's really the end of the year... After a hundred years of the great court meeting, Luo reunited in twelve days, and Liu Jinu's time bomb/bomb... Hehe, it's not easy for anyone..."
His eyes froze: "In addition, do you have any clues about the Tsushima Strait?"
The Yin Soldier immediately took out another piece of white paper from his bosom, and the ghost fire ignited, illuminating a piece of blue-green characters.
Zhou Yu watched for a few seconds, lightly burned to ashes, and muttered, "Did Daoist Asura and Liu Jinu get on each other? It seems... no one knows what happened that day? Life and death book... Really... Yue It's getting more and more chaotic..."
… … … … … … … …
Qin Ye certainly didn't know what happened to Tangming, who was thousands of miles away. At this moment, he was escaping to the underworld with a face full of horror, and he kept babbling and talking, and in front of him was Arthas with a dignified face.
"It's finally here..." Arthas breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the sky with complicated eyes: "Don't worry, it's useless. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight. How can the book of life and death be so easy to hold."
"It's not about the book of life and death now!" Qin Ye irritably dipped his hands into his black hair, and tugged hard: "Albatross has started! It won't take long, I'm afraid they will investigate me! Although I have erased all traces, but... I The information is still in the Jiade file!"
He never wanted to reveal his true identity in the realm—at least until Project Hamster was over. In the future, the development of the underworld does not know how many materials will be needed, and there is no harm in a little more.
But... things are getting out of hand now.
The yin qi in the Tsushima Strait broke out, and the eyes of the yin division in the entire Asia-Pacific were focused. The butterfly's wings were flapping slowly, and now... it was about to converge into a terrifying tornado.
fortunately.
Fortunately, the old underworld was powerful enough to feel the drastic changes in the Tsushima Strait. All of them were once "own."
After understanding the pattern of the underworld in the world, he couldn't imagine what the attitude of those underworlds would be if this news drifted to the Middle East, or even... across the ocean to Europe and the United States.
"Be careful." Arthas pondered and said, Qin Ye jumped up like a rabbit whose tail was stepped on: "What do you mean? Could someone be disrespectful to me? Dare to do something to Yama? Send a messenger here? No ... No! Now they are all serious ghosts, as long as they come over, they will definitely be discovered by Zhou Xianlong! This is Bao'an!"
Arthas lowered his head and his eyes were deep: "Have you ever wondered... why the three eastern provinces are suddenly in chaos?"
Without waiting for Qin Ye to speak, she said faintly, "You haven't thought about it... because you're not very familiar with those things... Unlike Ben Gong, who has personally seen the eighteen hells, the six reincarnations, and those who did evil in life and died in death. The soul that will never be liberated and is struggling in reincarnation..."
She turned her head and looked directly at Qin Ye: "So, you don't understand, you have experienced hell, and now you are so afraid of hell."
"What I'm worried about is not the Twelve Tianluo, but other people... Feeling the existence of the book of life and death, those ghosts and resentful spirits who have finally escaped from hell will go crazy and search for the new underworld. I can't wait to eat their flesh and sleep their skin. The Taoist master from the Three Eastern Provinces was just so scared that he would not hesitate to tear his face away and get close to the Central Plains to see what the new underworld was like. He is by no means the only one... Maybe... Twelve Tianluo is us instead a barrier."
Qin Ye didn't speak again, his eyes flickered.
He was quickly re-examining the connection between Twelve Tianluo, Yin Si, and the New Underworld.
The overall situation was like a chess game, and he suddenly felt that... what he had seen before was too simple.
"In short, don't go out now." Arthas said solemnly: "Before the end of the year, don't leave Bao'an under any circumstances! With Zhou Xianlong and the First Cultivator, you are absolutely safe!"
