I listened and became a little wary.

No matter how this ghost looks, I fooled him into being a tour guide, and who knows if it believes my words in his heart?

Even if you believe it in a short period of time, how long can it last, will it suddenly dawn on you after careful consideration?

So, ever since I met the ghost general, I have been secretly wary of it.

The shouting came from a fully armored guard at the city gate.

It was dressed in dark armor, which looked thinner than the pitch-black armor worn by the ghost general, and presumably lower than the ghost general in terms of position.

I looked sideways through the tall ghost general, and saw a huge city gate at the bottom of the city wall more than a dozen zhang away.

On each side of the gate stood a line of guards, keeping an eye on the passing spirits.

Suddenly, the little monk said to me:

"Big brother, you see, the left hand of these two city gates should be in, but is the one on the right hand coming out?

I turned my head to look, and sure enough, there was a gate on the right, but it wasn't as big as on the left.

One in and one out, it looks similar to the ancient city gate.

But when I think about it, I feel that something is wrong, this is the ghost gate of the ghost world, who can come out of it?

I can't think of anyone else who can come out of this, except for the bottom of these things.

When the fat man and I were transmitting the sound, the ghost general had already taken out a black sign, and the guards on guard had finished confirming it, so they signaled to give way and let them go.

Following the ghost general, our line is unimpeded.

Entering the city gate, we were amazed by the wall that was seven or eight feet thick, and Heavenly Master Zhang even stepped forward to touch it, and then told us that it was a physical building, and there was yin qi in it.

Although there are countless souls in the underworld, it is impossible for everything to be a phantom yin body.

I had expected this for a long time.

The closer I got to the wall, the stronger the tugging felt, and by the time I put my hand on the wall, everything would be clear.

The wall tiles should be made of some kind of material that can store yin qi, some like the pitch-black earth outside Huangquan Road.

Through the outer layer of the wall tiles, the spiritual sense felt that the yin qi in it was extremely condensed, comparable to the yin qi in the body of the ghost general.

Passing through the city gate of the black hole, a piece of classical Chinese architecture is immediately presented in front of us.

It is a plain that is sunken downward, and on the plain are all kinds of palaces.

As the gloomy fog dissipated, I saw a faint blue light from the sky, illuminating everything in front of me, somewhat like the twilight of the world.

But the strange thing is that the clear light sprinkled on these palaces did not reflect different colors of light, but showed a patch of cyan.

The glazed tiles on the roof of the hall, the streets between the buildings, and the huge hazy black shadow in the distance were all shrouded in this blue light.

We stood on a small square inside the city gate, and the boundless palace pavilions were really pleasing to the eye.

The cornices are warped, and there are edges and squares.

Or a few square palaces arching a domed high-rise building, or a huge black shadow as the central axis, arranged like blocks in a very regular manner.

Heavenly Master Zhang looked at it, and suddenly said softly:

"Huh, why does it feel a little like 'Gossip City'?"

Gossip City.

This refers to a county seat in Xinjiang Province, which is famous for being arranged as a whole by Quanzhen masters and without setting up traffic lights.

At this time, when Heavenly Master Zhang mentioned Bagua City, he should refer to the order in which these buildings are scattered.

I looked at it for a while, pointed to the dark shadow in the far distance, and said to the ghost general:

"It should be the power center of the underworld, right?"

The ghost general glanced at me, then nodded:

"The authority of the underworld is all over the ghost world, and the ministry is extremely numerous and complicated, so it occupies a relatively large position. ”

When everyone was almost appreciative, I let the ghost continue to lead the way, walking towards the dark shadow in the distance.

Stepping down the steps from the small square of the city gate, the blue light instantly shone on us.

The fat man looked up and exclaimed:

"Ho, it turns out that the Taiyin Star is here!"

We all looked up and saw a full moon-like star floating in the dim sky.

This is what is commonly known as the Taiyin Star.

In fact, in human legends, the Taiyin Star refers to the moon, which is not the same thing as the Taiyin Star in the underworld.

According to the records of "Daozang", the sun hangs in the human world, and the yin floats in the underworld, one yin and one yang, each performing its own duties.

There are many theories about the origin of the Taiyin Star in the underworld, and the slightly more reliable one is that it was transformed by a three-legged golden crow shot by Dayi.

Under the blue light of the Taiyin, we continued along a straight avenue.

This avenue is much narrower than the Huangquan Road outside, and in addition to all kinds of palaces on both sides, there are ancient wings on both sides.

The fat man looked strange and asked me:

"Big brother, are these shops? Why don't you open the door for business?"

I smiled and shook my head:

"I don't think it's a business. You see, the corners of these chambers are marked with serial numbers and numbers, and they look a bit like barracks. ”

The ghost general who was walking in the front heard my words and suddenly turned around, and the dark light in his eyes became brighter.

It explains:

"You guessed right, this is indeed one of the underworld barracks, Nanwei Soldiers and Horses. ”

Actually got it right?

In this case, I simply said to the ghost:

"Since we are all here, why do you have to practice the friendship of the landlord?

The ghost general turned his head silently and continued to walk forward.

Seeing that it ignored me, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

But as soon as I walked through this row of chambers, I heard the ghost general say slowly:

"This place is the ghost gate pass under the rule of the Western Ghost Emperor, and the Nanwei Soldiers and Horses Division is under the jurisdiction of the Ghost Emperor, with a total of 228,000 ghost soldiers. ”

When the fat man heard that there was nothing wrong in front of him, when he heard that there were 228,000 ghost soldiers here, his mouth opened wide.

I was also amazed by the sheer number, but when I thought about it, I thought it was okay.

Such a large ghost realm underworld, to manage countless souls, only govern more than 200,000 troops, in fact, it is nothing.

Then, I heard the ghost general say again:

"In addition to the ghost soldiers directly under the jurisdiction of the Five Ghost Emperors, the underworld has stationed more than eight million ghost soldiers on the borders of all sides. In addition, there are other divisions, temples, deacons, etc., which cannot be counted!"

Million...... Divide it by four, and that's two million each.

If you add the garrison of the temple, it will be three million.

Under the rule of a Western ghost emperor, there are three million troops stationed, that's okay.

I exhaled.

The fat man counted his fingers for a while, and then said worriedly:

"About three million? Why don't I think it's a little enough? Doesn't the underworld claim to have countless ghosts? What is the use of this idea?"

I listened to his tone as if he was worried about others, and was about to spread the word about him, when I heard the ghost general explain:

"If you start from the beginning of the earth, you can still say a 'countless'. Although the underworld will accept tens of millions of souls every year, it will also digest a lot through the reincarnation hall and the eighteen hells. ”

"In addition, there are a small number of souls that will be absorbed and replenished by the various divisions and halls, and some will be directly dispersed......"

"Of course, there's still a part of it out there. ”

Speaking of which, the ghost general looked in one direction.

My heart suddenly moved, is it what Liu Fujun said outside, similar to the gathering place of ghosts in human society?

Well, if you have time to take a look, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

After saying this, the ghost will no longer speak, and his steps will be much faster.

It was tall and spirit, and it walked as briskly as the wind.

But we can't!

Although there is a "Yin Qing Dan" that covers up the yang energy in our body for us, in the end it is still a mortal body, and we feel tired when we walk.

Because we were afraid that the ghosts would discover our secrets, we didn't dare to ask for a rest, so we gritted our teeth and tried to keep up.

Just when I felt that the fat man was a little out of breath, and wanted to make a plan to delay, he saw that the hell pointed to a large hall with an open door, and said to us:

"There is a food incense hall here, although you are from the human world, you are already a soul body, it is inevitable that you will be hungry, you can replenish it here. ”

I looked up and saw that there was a sign on the door of the temple, which was written - Nanwei Food and Incense Palace.

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked to where it pointed.

It's a place like a human buffet.

As soon as I entered the temple gate, I saw countless phantoms shaking inside.

Some souls, under the guidance of the ghosts, gathered together and gobbled around an incense burner, with expressions of enjoyment.

Some lined up in front of a row of windows, while others ran to the side with a black incense letter in their hands, and smoked as if no one was around.

When we saw this scene, we were all stunned, how could our hearts be the same as the previous big smoke house.

The ghost general led us straight to a counter where two ghosts were standing.

As soon as the two ghosts saw the ghost general, they nodded and couldn't stop talking:

"Your Excellency has worked hard, are you here to eat? Please take a seat, hehehehe!"

As he spoke, one of the oni cha walked directly through the counter and walked in front to lead the way for the oni general.

The fat man pouted when he saw it, and said to me:

"I can't imagine that when I get to the underworld, there is still these unequal treatment, this world - what a fuck!"

I smiled and replied:

"Hehehe...... What's this, you can eat well no matter where you are! If you become a ghost general one day, won't you be able to have three wives and four concubines?"

The fat man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his eyes rolled wildly and he made calculations.

The ghost cha took us directly to the second floor, into a box facing the street, and then flattered:

"My lord, do you use the 'Ju incense burner' or the high-grade incense letter? The food in our store is mellow and mellow, and its purity is comparable to that of the Netherworld Yin Qi! Hehehehe, I don't know if you ...... your lord."

We were stunned.

The incense letter is actually an offering of incense, which contains some of the wishes of the descendants or the incense recipients.

It is not uncommon for the spirits of the underworld to eat incense, and it has been concluded in ancient times.

But what is a "incense burner"?

Comparable to yin?

So why don't you consume yin qi directly?

Everyone looked at me together, their expressions were all incomprehensible, and they wanted me to explain.

I spread my hands and said that it was the first time I had been a "ghost", and it was dark in front of me.

In the end, the ghost general said:

"Let's have three 'incense burners'! By the way, pack five bunches of high-quality incense letters!"

"Oh yes, you'll be right here!"

The ghost almost answered, and quickly turned and went downstairs.

I went away and asked:

"These things, and the incense letters they eat below, are they free?"

The ghost general shook his head:

"Impossible! A high-grade incense letter requires the same amount of soul power. What is soul power, I think you Taoist priests should know it!"

Of course we know that.

Soul power, on a certain level, refers to the spiritual power of a person.

But essentially, it's part of the soul.

I can't imagine that I have to pay a part of my soul for a meal in the underworld!

It blew our minds away!
