28: Ten halls of Yama
"Boom~"
There was a loud bang, followed by a shout from outside the high wall. In an instant, broken bricks and stones flew all over the sky. This wall, which separated the inside and outside of the Xia family's mansion, was more than two feet thick, and it collapsed with a bang.
In the rolling and boiling smoke and dust, two shirtless men with burly figures like iron towers strode out with huge hammers in their hands. The two glanced into the courtyard, each sneering. Not to mention, he swung a giant hammer and slammed it down on the wall.
The walls of the Xia family's mansion are made of terrazzo bricks. Glutinous rice is mixed with egg whites, plus alum, mixed into a special mortar, and then poured into the brick joints. When the mortar dried, the walls of the mansion became extremely strong. Even if you use a battering ram to hit it, it's not so easy to knock it away.
But at this moment, under the giant hammer of these two big men, this wall seemed to be made of tofu, and it was easily smashed. The divine power is so amazing, there are absolutely very few people in the martial arts who can catch the blows of these two big Han giant hammers.
In the blink of an eye, the wall that was ten zhang wide was demolished by at least seven or eight zhang. Standing in the courtyard, you can already see the street outside.
The Xia family's mansion is located on the north side of Mianzhou City. Beyond the high wall, is the North Gate Street of Mianzhou City. Although this street is not as prosperous as the South Gate and the East Gate, it is also bustling with traffic and shops.
But now, the whole street is deserted, and all the shops and residences are closed with their doors closed, and even an ordinary pedestrian cannot be seen.
There is only one on the street, but a bridge with eight lifts. Two men dressed as officials sounded gongs to open the way, and two more officials held wooden signs behind them. The wooden sign on the left side says "Silence", and the wooden sign on the right side says "Avoid". There are a total of four big red characters, as if they were written in blood.
Around the Bajie Bridge, a total of 16 officials are surrounded. They carry a Yanling knife on their waists and water and fire sticks in their hands. There was another master in a green shirt, standing next to the sedan chair.
In broad daylight, the surroundings of the Bajia Bridge seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, appearing ethereal. Standing in the thick fog, the master and these servants also turned pale and looked gloomy. It's not like a human at all.
Within the high walls, there were stumps everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed. The appearance of a group of Shura killing fields. There was such a scene in front of him, which really surprised the group of ghosts from the Yin Si Ghost Mansion outside the wall.
The master frowned, and said gloomily: "The Xia family is now, who is in charge?"
That's a good question. But the answer...... For a moment, no one could really answer.
It stands to reason that the person in charge of the Xia family is, of course, Old Man Xia. But Old Man Xia even had his head cut off, and now there is only a headless corpse left, so it is naturally impossible to call the shots.
Master Fang Yinfeng is Old Man Xia's most trusted confidant. If there is anything, it has always been handed over to Master Fang to deal with. But after all, his surname is Fang, not Xia. After Old Man Xia was gone, no one supported him, so naturally he couldn't be the head of the Xia family.
Xia Yuhan and Xia Wuxi, these two sisters and brothers are surnamed Xia. But the former is a woman, and there has never been an example of a woman being the head of the house. And Xia Wuzhi is at the bottom of the list, and he has always been unsuccessful. If you want to say that he is the master of the house, I am afraid that most of the family will not think so.
Speaking of which, in fact, Ling Yushi, as the daughter-in-law of the Xia family, has always presided over housework, and she is known for her prestige and is very popular. If there is no such thing as a glass treasure knife, how can she preside over the overall situation for the time being, it can be regarded as expected.
Unfortunately, now, it is completely impossible. First of all, Ling Yushi has been deprived of the identity of the Xia family's daughter-in-law. Secondly, she was also completely heartbroken by Old Man Xia's ruthlessness and greed. Even if Old Man Xia was still alive and begged her bitterly, she would probably not be willing to stay.
Therefore, the Xia family is now leaderless, and no one can speak effectively.
The master in the green shirt waited for a while, and when he saw that there was still no one to reply, he immediately became impatient. shouted loudly: "Yin Si Chujiang King has arrived, who dares to be rude?" Otherwise, in a moment or three, you will be killed by the Xia family, and there will be no chickens and dogs!"
The three words "King of Chujiang" seem to have some kind of strange and evil power in themselves. In an instant, everyone in the Xia family, including Ling Yushi, was equally surprised, and in addition to being terrified, they also felt that their backs were cold, like falling into a snow cave.
As we all know, in the Yin Si Ghost Mansion, the Son of the Netherworld is the leader. Below them are the ten Hades. They are the King of Qin Guang, the King of Chujiang, the Emperor of Song, the King of Wuguan, the King of Yama, the King of Bian Cheng, the King of Taishan, the King of Equality, the King of the City, and the King of Reincarnation.
Each of these ten Hades is in charge of one hall of the Yin Division, so it is also known as the Ten Halls of Hades. Each king of Hades has the supreme authority to speak in his own palace. As for civil and military judges, bull-headed horses, and black and white impermanence, these positions are set up in every temple. The black and white impermanence that was killed by Cheng Li before was just one of ten pairs of black and white impermanence.
There are ten halls of the underworld, and each hall is in charge of a different hell. The second palace of the king of Chujiang is called the Ice Hell. Mianzhou City belongs to the north and is a bitter cold place. Therefore, it should be under the jurisdiction of the king of Chujiang.
However, the Ghost Mansion has always been secretive and almost never appears in public. Therefore, the Xia family has been in Mianzhou City for so long, and they have not dealt with the forces of the Yin Si Ghost Mansion a few times, let alone any conflict.
But the ghost mansion of the underworld is notorious. At every turn, they use all kinds of murderous means to destroy people. These things, the Xia family has heard a lot from top to bottom. So they all know that the other party said that they want to destroy the Xia family, and they are not joking. But at this time, the Xia family really couldn't find a person who could speak, so how could this be good?
After being silent for a long time, just before the master of the Yin Si Ghost Mansion was about to reach the limit of patience, Ling Yushi suddenly sighed faintly, took two steps forward, and said in a condensed voice: "I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xia family. What do you have to say, just say it to me. ”
Xia Yuhan was shocked, and there was an incredible look between his eyebrows. Xia Wuxian shouted in a lost voice: "Sister-in-law!" Master Fang and the survivors of the Eagle Group and the Tiger Group also reacted similarly.
Ling Yushi looked back and whispered to Cheng Li, "I'm sorry." I really ...... There's no way to leave it alone. ”
Cheng Li shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "No need to apologize." All in all, whatever decision you make, I'm definitely in favor of it. Between friends, it's supposed to be like this. ”
Ling Yushi smiled bitterly slightly. Secretly, he said, "Friend...... Are you just a friend? At this point, you're still just a friend?"
"Okay, right? The Xia family is now in charge of your affairs, right?"
The master next to the eight-lift sedan chair. With a wave of his right hand, he sneered: "Since this is the case, then this gift that we have carefully prepared for the Xia family will be given to you." ”
Before the words fell, a package was thrown out of his hand. Impartially, it happened to fall seven steps in front of Ling Yushi. The package spread out, and several fleshy human heads rolled out of it. Xia Wuxian could see it clearly, and the scene turned white, and he hissed and exclaimed: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother!"
Old Man Xia is second under his knees, Xia Wuji, the head of the seventeen dart bureaus outside the Guan, Xia Wuxing, the head of the Iron Horse Gate outside the Guan, and Xia Wuji, the leader of the largest gang outside the Guan, who participated in the gang. At this moment, they were all cut off and became part of this cruel "gift"!
