Everyone stepped up their retreat, and they didn't entangle too much with the demons along the way. After half an hour or so, everyone had come to the city of vain death.

I saw that the scale of the dead city was very huge, and the towers alone were more than ten zhang high. The walls are thick and smooth, and they are always connected with the black mountains in the distance, forming a strong fortress-like existence!

Seeing this team of nearly 10,000 people coming, the lookout post defending the city had already quickly returned to the defending generals in the city.

Originally, this city was directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Sixth Yama King "King Bian Cheng"! But now the temporary command is in the hands of two higher-level ghost emperors, Shen Di and Cai Yulei.

Shen Tu and Cai Yulei relied on the high walls of the city, and several waves of attacks sent by the Demon King Yeqing were declared failures! Yang Zhuochao and the others stayed outside for a while, and the two ghost generals, Shen Tu and Cai Yulei, went directly out of the city to welcome them.

The people stood on top of the tower, and listened to the explanation of the situation of the demons and gods. Yang Zhuochao interjected and asked, "General Shendi, do you estimate how many troops Yeqing brought to attack the Netherworld this time?"

Shen Tu was silent for a long time and then replied, "According to the reports of the spies from all walks of life, I guess he seems to have some ambition to win this time! Because according to my calculations, at least close to a million people from the Demon Realm have come this time.....

Everyone secretly gasped, they didn't expect such a big gesture and movement in the Demon Realm! Nearly a million people had actually gathered to come to the Netherworld to stir up trouble, which had never happened before!

Yang Zhuochao asked again: Did the general report the current actual situation to Emperor Xudu or Emperor Tianqi Rensheng?

Shen Tu replied: I have already sent someone to explain the situation to Emperor Xudu! As for the Emperor Tianqi Rensheng, because he is always ..... So I haven't been able to find it for a while.....

However, Emperor Xudu has clearly instructed that the invading enemies of the Demon Realm must be resolutely repulsed! No matter where they come from, no matter who is behind them! In short, they will all be annihilated or driven out.

In addition, Emperor Xudu also ordered the five ghost emperors, including me and Cai Yulei, together with the western ghost emperors Zhao Wenhe and Wang Zhenren, the northern ghost emperors Zhang Heng and Yang Yun, the southern ghost emperor Du Ziren, and the central ghost emperors Zhou Qi and Ji Kang to jointly command the enemy.

He also ordered Luo Yu to guard the palace god for six days, and lead three million elite troops of the underworld to cooperate with our actions! Although the immortals can rest assured, if it comes to the number of soldiers and generals, we have not been afraid of anyone in the Netherworld.....

Yang Zhuochao said with emotion: Listening to what the general said, the nearly one million army led by the Demon King Yeqing is nothing at all! It seems that this time they will eventually return home.....

Shen Tu Dao: The immortals cannot be completely taken lightly, the battlefield is changing rapidly at any time! The factor that dominates the final victory of the war is not only the large number of people.

Yang Zhuochao nodded slightly and said: "What the general said is right, then the general will go and get busy first! Let's watch the battle here first, look at the shape and then make a decision."

Shen Tu and Cai Yulei bowed and left, leaving only black and white impermanence to stay with Yang Zhuochao and everyone. This is also understandable! Black and white impermanence is not a high position, and when it comes to fighting, only ghost generals like Shen Di and Cai Yulei are qualified!

Bai Wuchang Xie Bi'an saw Shen Tu and Cai Yulei leaving, so he slowly said to Yang Zhuochao: Shangxian, I see that there is nothing to do right now, how about Fan Wusu and I take Shangxian to visit this "vain city"?

Yang Zhuochao didn't refuse, but just said: Then you can tell me as you go, what about the past of this vain dead city?

Xie Bi'an smiled slightly: "Shangxian's orders, Xiaguan must try his best to be satisfied! In this way, let me tell Shangxian a folk legend here first."

According to legend, there was a scholar named Han Yu. When I arrived in Huaicheng, I saw that it was getting late, so I found an inn in the city to stay. The inn was in the middle of the city, and Han Yu didn't like the hustle and bustle, so he asked the shopkeeper to take him upstairs to a room to rest.

In the evening, Han Yu had dinner and just wanted to read, but he heard a noisy sound outside, opened the window and looked down, the downtown below was brightly lit, and half of the fairies were telling fortunes with people not far away.

The surroundings were full of onlookers, and there were so many people that Han Yu couldn't read quietly, so he crouched on the windowsill and watched the half-fairy tell fortunes.

I thought it was another god stick, coaxing people to make some money, but after the half-immortal said a few words, the old fortune teller in front of him showed a surprised look, and his expression became respectful, obviously because the half-immortal said something.

"I didn't expect this half-fairy to be really a master. Han Yu thought to himself, looking at it with interest for a while, the half-fairy was extremely accurate, so that the onlookers were amazed, and they were looking at it intently, the half-fairy looked up at Han Yu and shouted at him: "Why don't you come down and ask about the future?"

Han Yu was stunned when he saw that Banxian'er called himself "Han Gongzi", and said in his heart that this half-fairy was really powerful, and he could know his surname out of thin air, and he also wanted to ask if he could win the scientific examination this time, so he quickly went downstairs, came to Banxian'er and bluntly said that he was a scholar, went to the capital to participate in the scientific examination, and asked if he could be on the list.

Banxian'er said with a smile: "Whether Childe can be on the list depends on Childe himself." "What do you mean by that, sir?" Han Yu asked puzzled.

Banxian'er said: "Childe's test luck is in the east, if you go east, you can be on the list." ”

Han Yu said even more strangely: "The capital is in the south, if I go east, how can I go to the capital to participate in the scientific expedition?

"Childe just go east, and you'll find out then. Ban Xian'er smiled and said: "If the son listens to me, he will definitely be able to enter the Huangbang High School, if not, he will fall into Sun Mountain." ”

Han Yu was suspicious, not knowing whether the words of the half-fairy were true or false, and took out a few copper plates from his arms to pay the hexagram, but the half-fairy waved his hand and did not accept it.

Back at the inn, Han Yu walked back and forth in the room, not knowing what to do, "That half-fairy hasn't even received the hexagram gold, it's not like she's talking nonsense to deceive herself." Thinking that there were still more than a month before the scientific expedition, and there was enough time, Han Yu decided to go east first.

But he said that the half-fairy, after Han Yu left, he closed the stall, came to a remote corner, and saw that there was no one around, so he turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared into the ground.

Vertically, Han Yu moved eastward, and after a few years, he came to a city, the city wall was dilapidated, it looked very old, and the mottled city gate was faintly scarlet, as if blood was splashed on it, and the luster after a long time.

At this time, it was dusk, perhaps the sky was dark, looking through the city gate, the city was pitch black, and the city gate was like an open mouth of blood, which looked very terrifying!

"There are no guards in front of the city gate, and there is no one around, isn't this a deserted city?" Han Yu was a little afraid, but he walked all the way, and everywhere he passed was deserted, and he had to sleep in the wilderness, and he had hardly rested, and now he finally saw a city, how could he not enter and walk through the city gate hard!

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I suddenly saw that the lights were bright in front of me, and the streets were bustling with people, and it was very prosperous, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Yu walked on the streets of the downtown area, constantly shuttling through the crowd, there were small vendors on both sides, the sound of selling was endless, all kinds of goods were available, dizzying, and he was sighing about the prosperity of this place, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, scraping the money in the hands of an old man who was trading with people on the side of the road.

One of them happened to fall in front of Han Yu, Han Yu bent down and wanted to pick it up and hand it to the old man, but he was stunned, the money bill was not an ordinary money ticket, but a paper used by the dead.

Han Yu was suddenly surprised! The old man came over and picked up the dark banknote, "Looking at the old man's demeanor, he doesn't look like a stupid person, how can he use the dark money to trade with people?" Han Yu was puzzled, looked at the old man in a daze, and suddenly a frightened look appeared on his face, he saw that under the light, the old man had no shadow, could it be .....

Thinking of this, Han Yu's face turned pale with fright! At this time, the old man turned around and smiled at Han Yu. What made Han Yuhan's hair stand even more was that the old man handed the dark money in his hand to the hawker, and the hawker took the dark money and looked at it, and then put it into his arms, looking as usual, not feeling strange at all.

Han Yu felt very incredible, looking at the vendor, and suddenly found that the vendor had no shadow! He slowly turned his head and looked at the people on the street, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he was terrified! The people on the street had no shadows, and he suddenly understood that there was no one on the street, all of them were ghosts.

Han Yu fled from the downtown like crazy, he didn't know how long he had been running, he was tired and out of breath, he couldn't run, he stopped and found that he had come to a deserted place, and then he vaguely heard a burst of mournful wailing in front of him, and walked forward to see that there seemed to be a fire in front of him!

Cautiously approaching, I found that it was a platform made of earth and stone, very wide, like an altar, and the figures on it swayed, and the terrible screams came from above.

Han Yu didn't know if it was a person or a ghost, so he didn't dare to step forward, hid behind a tree and peeked, and saw that there were two big woks on the platform, burning red, filled with boiling oil, billowing smoke, and several people dressed like errand servants were putting two people into the oil pot to fry, the two people were fried black, but they were not dead, and they kept struggling and screaming in the oil pot.

There were many people on the side who were tied up and flogged, and the blood of the whipping was drenched, and the wailing continued, Han Yu saw that there was no shadow of the people on the stage, and he was very frightened in his heart, and he said that he had come to hell, and the continuous fright made Han Yu's knees weak, and he could barely stand, and it took a long time to recover his strength.

By this time the two men in the oil pot had been fished up and bound to the stone pillar with chains, and the two men were scorched and groaned in pain, and then the servants carried the flogged man away.
