Liu Qiming led the two of us forward and said, "The soul inducer can't enter the underworld, so I can only send you here." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This is the cat master, the ghost of the underworld. He will help send you both to Cui Fujun, and the rest will be up to you. ”

Qu Xin and I glanced at each other, bowed forward, and respectfully shouted, "Master Cat." ”

The latter stepped forward and helped the two of us: "Don't dare to be, you have a relationship with Cui Fujun, how can I afford your bow, come with me." ”

A moment later, we were again in this foggy place.

The cat master said with some embarrassment: "Presumably the two of you should know the thirteen stations of the underworld, right?" ”

Qu Xin and I glanced at each other and nodded inexplicably.

Seeing this, the cat master said again: "Cui Fujun is in the Xudu City, and there are a total of seven stations from here to the Xudu City. They are Huangquan Road, Wangxiangtai, Vicious Dog Ridge, Jinji Mountain, Wild Ghost Village, Lost Soul Palace, and in the back is the capital city. ”

"The first two stops are nothing, but the next few stops, each one is dangerous. But don't worry, Qiming and I are brothers who have died, and I will definitely ensure that you arrive in the capital city safely. ”

After speaking, I quickly nodded and thanked him. Last time, in order to save Qu Xin, I entered the underworld for the first time, and I was not dead at that time, so the path I took was different from this time.

I turned my head and glanced at Qu Xin, this girl's face was very ugly, and she was already in a cold sweat. I whispered in her ear, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Qu Xin looked at me and replied in a low voice: "I almost died in the Ecstasy Hall last time, I really didn't expect to experience it again." ”

I reached out and stroked her back a few times: "With me here this time, I will definitely not let you have any problems." ”

The first stop, Huangquan Road

On Huangquan Road, it is the same as in the past. Looking up, you can't see the sun, moon and stars. Looking down, you can't see the dust of the land. Looking ahead, you can't see Yangguan Road. Look behind you and see no relatives and friends. Only the big flowers on the other side of the foot are blooming brilliantly.

Along the way, I saw crowds of ghosts all around. Some wept and cried, others begged bitterly. The Yin soldiers on both sides were unmoved, still expressionless.

Seeing us coming, everyone retreated to both sides to get out of the way, and called out respectfully: "Master Cat." ”

The latter nodded, and walked over unconcernedly. I didn't expect this cat master to have some status here, but I had never heard of this person before.

The second stop, Wangxiangtai

After walking out of Huangquan Road, I went to Wangxiangtai. In front of him, a high stone platform emitted bursts of gloomy light, and three large red characters were written on it. It is said that this Wangxiang Terrace is Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is sympathetic to the souls of the dead and misses their relatives at home, so it is erected. Let the souls of the deceased take a last look at their hometown and relatives.

Walking here, the cat master stopped and asked me, "Do you want to go up and have a look?" ”

I looked at the ghosts of the people standing in front of me standing on the lookout platform, crying and in pain, and my heart suddenly felt sour. The cycle of life and death, determined by the way of heaven, life is death, and death is life.

After a moment, he returned: "No need, let's go." ”

The third stop, Vicious Dog Ridge

After getting off the lookout platform and walking all the way, I suddenly heard a burst of dog barking, and the barking became louder and louder, and the people who listened were terrified.

You may not know that dogs and chickens are two very important mediums of communication between the yang and the underworld. The dog sometimes barks for no reason, because it sees something that no one can see. The rooster is the first to crow before dawn. When the ghost hears the rooster crowing, he must leave immediately, so that his soul does not wander away at dawn.

The older generation knows that the old tooth dog will never sleep on the hot kang head, and the golden rooster will never sleep on its stomach. All living beings have their own laws and laws.

I saw groups of vicious dogs in front of me, with fierce eyes, full of steel teeth, and fur as hard as steel wire. Towards the ghosts of all walks of life, the severed limbs and wreckage all over the ground are shocking.

The cat master protected the two of us behind him, and said solemnly: "Follow me." ”

Qu Xin and I hurriedly responded. These vicious dogs are also fierce, and under the full protection of the cat master, I was bitten several times, and the most serious thing was that a piece of meat on my leg was torn off. Thankfully, Qu Xin was unscathed.

The fourth stop, Jinji Mountain

As soon as you enter Jinji Mountain, two straight peaks stand in front of you. Flocks of roosters pounced on them, and the iron beak was better than that of vultures. The ground was covered with broken limbs and stained blood. The sharp claws directly grasped the body of one of the ghosts, only to see that the ghost's skin suddenly opened and the internal organs were clawed out.

Before we had time to be frightened, the roosters saw us and pounced on us. In a few moments, I was already scarred.

At this time, suddenly a loud rooster crow sounded, and all the roosters stopped attacking. A rooster walked down from the top of the peak, and the body size was several times larger than normal. He looked at me majestically for a moment, then left with a flock of roosters.

The three of us looked at each other with an incredulous look on our faces. Master Mao respectfully asked me, "Have you been here before?" Or do you have any friendship with him? ”

I was asked a little unclear: "Who?" Who do you have a relationship with? ”

"It's the king of the chickens that just appeared, that's the fourth son of the Sun Star King, the evil one." The cat master said.

I thought about it and replied to him: "Evil? I haven't heard of it, and I don't have any friendship. ”

Master Mao looked at me carefully for a moment, then smiled and said, "No matter what, it's a good thing to be able to cross Jinji Mountain so smoothly." Let's keep going. ”

The fifth stop, Wild Ghost Village

As you go, the surroundings gradually begin to be lively. After looking around vigilantly, the cat master said to us: "Don't be confused by the surface, these are all conjured up by those ghosts who were bitten and had incomplete limbs when they passed through Vicious Dog Ridge and Jinji Mountain. ”

"They were unable to move forward because of their incomplete limbs, so they had to stay and gather here. After the passing ghost is confused, he takes the opportunity to attack. Grab a new limb, put it on your body, and move on. ”

When the words fell, I saw a change of scenery in front of me. A group of mutilated demons rushed towards us fiercely, and they were all stopped by the cat. But the other ghosts passing by were not so lucky. Unable to break free from these claws, a series of heart-rending wails rang out all around, and suddenly there was a blur of flesh and blood.

The seventh station, the Hall of Ecstasy

Continuing forward, I saw a pavilion in front of me, and there was a deep well in the pavilion that was bubbling with boiling spring water. It is the seventh station of the underworld, the Temple of Lost Souls. After this, you will arrive at the capital city.

The ghosts who arrive here must drink this ecstasy water. Only then did he confide in the truth, truthfully report all kinds of crimes in the yang world, and then wait for interrogation.

The souls in the pavilion are lining up to drink water in an orderly manner at this time. The cat master took us directly to skip this place and go to the capital city.

Not far ahead, a city gate appeared. There is a couplet that reads:

Shanglian: people and ghosts, ghosts and people, people and ghosts have different paths;

Downlink: Yin and Yang, Yang and Yin, Yin and Yang are forever separated;

There is no horizontal batch, a black plaque in the middle, and three large gold lacquer characters of the capital city are hung in the center of the city.
