Chapter 9: Shadows in the shadows, full of suspicions
I don't know what the king of Hades and Zhou Jibai talked about at that time, when I saw Zhou Jibai today, I saw him wearing an official uniform similar to that of a bull head and a horse face, and a big scimitar hanging from his waist, and he walked towards him proudly, and waved his hand cheaply: "Haha, everyone is okay." www.biquge.info I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, master, I, dang, official, it's over! Xiaoshi, if you are bullied by someone in the future, just come to me, I will call the shots for you, ah, haha. After that, he patted his chest: "What, the past is over, I don't care about you anymore, who let the prime minister have a boat in his belly." And you -- bull head and horse face, everyone will be officials in the same place in the future, bow your head and don't look up to see you, put away your cow temper and horse temper, we are also officials, we have to set an example for the people, administrative law enforcement, attitude is very important. Uncle Niu Tou Ma Mian had long been confused by Zhou Jibai's official uniform and official tone, where did he still want to get a response or refutation, and Zhou Jibai thought that everything was due to his "official authority", and he was very satisfied with the effect of his speech, and walked away with his hands behind his back and eyebrows raised, and there seemed to be a "tail" dangling behind him.
"What's the matter, he's become an official? No, how can it be. No, old cow, we need to ask. Uncle Ma Mian pulled Uncle Niu and went straight to the Hades Palace. After asking clearly, I will figure out what the hell is going on. It turned out that Hades also felt that it was not a way to let Zhou Jibai be idle for a long time, so he decided to find something to do for Zhou Jibai. But he asked many shops, or Xuetang restaurants, but none of them were willing to accept Zhou Jibai. There was really no way, so the king of Hades had to open a way for Zhou Jibai and give him a position, responsible for the daily procurement of pen and ink in the underworld, and he also said that Zhou Jibai was the first official in the heavenly court and the underworld to serve without an immortal body. Although Zhou Jibai was the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan when he was in the world, because the emperor was jealous of the prestige of the Marquis of Zhenyuan among the people, the title of the Hou Ye was only to the generation of Zhou Jibai's father, coupled with his mother's pampering and arrogance to him, so that Zhou Jibai was born and raised a gentleman's style, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, idle, and failed to learn a good kung fu from his father. Therefore, although he was born in a powerful family, he didn't know what it was like to have power in his hands, so he was stunned by the words that the king of Hades put on a top hat and went to heaven and earth to enter the earth, and he took the errand with joy. I also felt that I had become a real official, and it seemed that I could also hold the power of the army like my father, and I could control thousands of troops, but I didn't think about the big gap between a steward in charge of the purchase of goods and a general in a decisive battle. What's more, the one who can work in the underworld is at least a little immortal who has to have a thousand years of cultivation, and it is also recorded in the heavenly court, and the king of Hades is only a position given verbally, with no real power, and no real name, to put it bluntly, he just coaxes him and asks him not to cause trouble at will, and only a young master raised in a "deep boudoir" like him will not be able to figure out the ins and outs of this matter. This person is so simple that even the king of Hades felt pity when he looked at him, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Alas, this face and a good name are blind." β
Now, everyone understands what's going on, but for the sake of the peaceful life of the underworld, Uncle Ma Mian decided to hide the secret even if he knew the truth, but this breath was still difficult to swallow, and he fanned his big nostrils: "This kid is just a buyer and so horizontal, I'm really angry." Who in our prefecture is not bigger than him, looking at him like that, he still thinks that he will be able to take over as the king of Hades tomorrow. If it weren't for the stupidity of himself to be like that, I would have given him a good look. At this time, Zhou Jibai was robbing Uncle Niu Tou Ma Mian's job, and the leader was walking on the street like an inspection, and waved his hand to the people on the side of the road from time to time: "Become an official, ah, haha, if there is anything in the future, just come to me, haha." "In order to show off his official uniform and official knife, the twisting of his waist has not stopped. Uncle Niu Tou looked at the passer-by who looked at Zhou Jibai with disgust, and tilted his head: "I just thought he was stupid at first, but now it seems that he is really lacking something." β
However, it is precisely because this Zhou Jibai, who lacks something, does not know how to look at his eyes, and he also enjoys this feeling of "admiration by ten thousand people", so he hardly runs anywhere else except for eating and sleeping, and only turns around the street. After spending a lot of time on the street, she naturally didn't have the energy to run to the Nai He Bridge again, so Granny Meng was relieved and didn't make any mistakes in doing things.
But since the last time Li Tiannan came to the underworld to reincarnate, the people in the underworld began to slowly discuss the affairs of the demon people, and they always felt that the demons came back, and the world was afraid that they would be ruined again, and they were also afraid that the underworld would be involved in this catastrophe. "Xiao Shi, you go to inquire with Black and White Impermanence about what is going on in the outside world now, I always feel uneasy when I listen to the rumors, at least ask if this is true or false. "After listening to Granny Meng's words, I walked all the way along Huangquan Road, and the chance of meeting them on this road was the highest. Sure enough, after a while, I saw them floating over with big long faces, followed by a long line of ghosts.
"Uncle Black and White Impermanence, how can there be so many people?"
"It's not the Demon Sect that is making trouble, it's back to the world to toss, no, as soon as you go out, you have to go so much, you have to leave as soon as you send it to the ground, and there are still a lot of queues waiting outside. After listening to their words, I hurriedly ran back and told Granny Meng, and as soon as the words fell, they brought a row of people, but I noticed that something was wrong: "Uncle Black and White Impermanence, it seems that there are two people missing." β
"Why, we've been watching it all the timeβit's bad" They looked at each other, "I just got a gust of wind on the road for no reason, and I was blinded. After that, he took out the roster and named them one by one, and found that there were really two missing, Uncle Bai Wuchang grimaced: "Damn the demon people, they accidentally touched their way, Xiao Shi, you go and inform the king of Hades, and tell him that two demon people have infiltrated the underworld in disguise, and they must quickly send troops to strictly investigate, and they must be on guard." Black Impermanence and I have to hurry up to find the two souls that have been replaced, and after a long time, I am afraid that it will harm the world. When we come back, we will personally go and plead guilty. Granny Meng also looked anxious: "Go quickly, remember to pay attention to safety." β
In the palace of Hades-
Hades slammed the table and got up: "This demon clan has really eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and he actually dares to sneak into my underworld." Bull head and horse noodles!"
"In!"
"The two of you quickly led troops to investigate, and if you find any suspicious person, you will immediately bring it over. Since they dare to come this time, I want them to come and never return!"
"Yes!" Uncle Bull Horse Faced commanded, and I had never seen them look so serious.
Hades seemed to suddenly think of something, looked at me and asked, "Xiao Shi, did you notice anything unusual when you went to the pawnshop yesterday?"
"Strange? No. After the young owner said a few words to me, I brought Zhou Jibai back. β
"What did Jiang Yu say? β
"He asked me to tell him what's new in the underworld, and I told him about it. Oh, by the way, when I said that Li Tiannan came to reincarnate because he was killed by the demons, he seemed to be a little sensitive to the word demons, and repeated it. β
"Jiang Mata, demons? Well, I see. Remember, don't tell anyone about this, you go and wait for the impermanence, and when they come back, let them come to me immediately, I have something to ask them. β
"Good. β
Along the way, I thought about Hades' expressions and words, and I always felt that Jiang Mata seemed to have some kind of close relationship with the demons. As I walked, I suddenly felt someone following me, and when I turned around, I found that there was no figure, but the fluctuations in the air told me that it was not my delusion. I pretended not to find anything, walked for a while and then turned abruptly, this time I saw two gray shadows flash in an instant, and I also saw two pairs of dark blue eyes. There is a book in Hades that clearly records that except for the royal family, which is a red pupil, all the people in the demon clan are blue pupils. Obviously, the two people who followed me just now were the two demons who had infiltrated the underworld.
In the next few days, almost every day in the underworld there were reports that they were being followed, but they could not be caught, and although they were followed, no one was attacked by them so far, and Uncle Niutou was still nowhere to be found despite searching them for a long time, and a nervous mood spread throughout the underworld. Don't hurt people, don't show up, so what exactly is their purpose?
