When they were teaching the guards and the lord at the gate of the ancient city of Lethe, they released the ghosts that had been seized in their skins, but they didn't expect that there was an old friend among them.
The Phoenix City Lord and the Great General also came out of their skins with these ghosts, and when they were cursing, they looked up and saw Lien and the two cultivators, and couldn't help but be surprised, and Lien was also a little surprised.
Xing Xiangtian immediately asked: "You are the city lord and general of Phoenix City, are you also detained in your skin because you can't pay the money to enter the city?" ”
The Phoenix City Lord scolded: "The old man will not hand over the money to this group of insatiable ghosts, why did you come here?" As he spoke, he picked up Ryan and dropped the net rope, slammed it on the bong, and scolded angrily: "The deception is too much, why aren't you arrogant?" ”
The pole was whipped, and immediately began to wail, so that the lord of the city also wailed.
Rien scolded: "What are you howling after, this immortal didn't whip you!" ”
Niu Tou saw that Lien was also familiar with these two thorns, and hurriedly came down the stairs to persuade: "Since the three immortals are old acquaintances with these two, then the Huangquan Road is not lonely, let's drink together!" ”
The Phoenix City Lord followed and shouted, "Go for a drink!" See who dares to stop us! He easily pulled the jade belt from the city lord at the feet of Ryan, and the bull's head led the way, and the horse's face was broken.
Although the city was large, it was lifeless, there was no shouting, no noise, and all the ghosts bowed their heads and were silent.
They entered a restaurant where there were still quite a few diners, but the only sounds were drinking and sobbing.
Niu Tou led them straight up to the second floor, picked a table with no guests to sit down, and the shopkeeper in white clothes and white pants and a white filial piety hat on his head greeted him and asked in a low voice: "What do you need from a few errands?" ”
The Phoenix City Lord slapped the jade belt on the table and shouted, "Serve all the good wine and food in your store!" ”
When the shopkeeper saw the jade belt, he recognized that it was the city lord's thing, and he was scared and didn't dare to accept it, so he looked at the bull head and the horse, and the cow head signaled: "Bring all the best wine and food in your store, your city lord has a treat!" ”
Ma Mian reminds the ghosts: "Don't make a lot of noise in this city, or you will commit a big taboo!" ”
The Phoenix City Lord Mi asked rhetorically, "Why?" What's the big no-no for making a loud noise here? ”
Niu Tou explained: "All the ghosts who enter this city are extremely sad, this is their last trip to the city, out of the city, what the fate will be in the future, so they are also nestled in a belly of fire." ”
The shopkeeper quickly brought up the wine and food, and Rien was already hungry, but he didn't expect to feel it when he became an immortal after death. These dishes look delicate and delicious, but they have no aroma and no taste in the mouth.
The cultivator asked, "Can I use the food and wine here?" ”
Ma Mian immediately replied: "Shangxian, please rest assured, the wine and food here are absolutely not poisonous, and you can eat them with confidence." ”
Xing Xiangtian asked Niu Tou about the ancient city of Lechuan, Ma Mian drank a glass of wine, opened the chatterbox, and introduced: "Originally, there was only one Santu River on the Huangquan Road, and there was no such ancient city, but a huge rich ghost went to the hell path here, rested here, and germinated the idea of building a city. ”
"This huge rich man is Fan Li, at first it was used for the ghosts and ghosts passing by here to rest, and then it gradually changed its taste, the current city lord is called Fan Zeng, used to be Xiang Yu's strategist, after his death, he has to go with Fan Li, a bold speech, so that the old city lord has the idea of retreating, and the city lord will pass on the position of the city lord to Fan Zeng!"
"Fan Zeng?" Ryan was having dinner when he heard the name and asked, "Where does this person seem to have met?" ”
Ma Mian immediately persuaded him: "Shangxian, don't mention this word in the underworld!" Otherwise, it will be taboo! It dipped its chopsticks in wine and wrote "people" on the table.
After they came to the underworld, they unconsciously changed people to "ghosts" during their conversations, and when Lien met Fan Zeng, a merchant in Dali, in Yuxi, the head of the Xiuzhen Dao was still imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower, and Xing Xiangtian was also in Emei before he came out of the mountain, so he naturally didn't know about Fan Zeng.
Niu Tou continued: "After Fan Zeng took over as the city lord, he became greedy, and collected all the money for the ghosts he passed, and also brought a set of the yang world to the underworld, and regularly paid tribute to the king of the ten halls of Yama, and these ten halls of Yama received his tribute, so naturally he didn't care about this matter, anyway, the money of the ghosts is something outside the body, and it can't bring hell and the afterlife." ”
The general asked, "Will there be an exception?" ”
The bull head replied, "Of course, there are ghosts who hide small pieces of value in their bodies or in their mouths, and after they are reincarnated, they are carried to the afterlife. ”
Ryan sighed: "No wonder I heard that some babies have a golden key in their mouths and a treasure jade when they speak. ”
Ma Mian warned in a cold voice: "The three immortals beat the city lord of Lechuan today, they will definitely report it to the king of Yama, if the king of Yama can't take care of this matter, they will report it to the Emperor of the Underworld!" ”
The cultivator immediately blamed: "Why do you say now, if the Emperor of the Underworld knows that we are making trouble in the ancient city of Lechuan, he still doesn't send us to hell?" ”
The Phoenix City Lord responded: "What are you afraid of, it's a big deal." Ryan, what the hell is going on? I have obviously entered your body, but why don't I see results, did the old city lord deceive me? ”
Xing Xiangtian asked: "What effect?" ”
Mi Mu covered up: "It's nothing, isn't Lien already an immortal?" How could he still be trampled to death by the Cloud Running Thunder Beast? ”
Rien also complained: "What else do you say? But you were attached to this beast and trampled my flesh to death. ”
When they were about to finish eating and drinking, they heard the sound of horns and suona from the restaurant, and the sound of these two musical instruments was played together, which was particularly weird. ”
Mi Mukong also got up and looked out the window, and saw Ben Gang leading a group of fierce ghosts with tigers and bears, holding peach runes and wooden swords, as well as skin bags, menacing towards the restaurant, followed by a carriage.
Mi Mu shouted: "It seems that this Fan Zeng hasn't been taught enough lessons just now, and now he's coming to fight again!" Wait here and see it as I go down and beat it all over the ground looking for teeth. ”
Ma Mian hurriedly stopped him and warned: "You are just a wisp of remnant soul, if you want to leave this city smoothly, it is best not to cause trouble!" ”
Rien stood up and asserted: "Presumably, this Fan Zeng has already reported this matter to the King of Yama, and the matter has come to this point, then I don't have to show mercy to his subordinates anymore and hinder this immortal from performing his official duties, and he, the city lord, should not continue to think about it!" ”
The bull head immediately dissuaded: "The immortals don't have to be angry, let the subordinates go and persuade them to retreat!" ”
Rien said: "No need, let them find it, this immortal wants to see what rescuers they have invited?" ”
While speaking, Ben Gang had already led the way into the hall and drove out all the diners, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that he hid under the table and shivered, and the shopkeeper even hid in the counter and sighed.
With a wave of his hand, a terrible ghost overturned the table, grabbed the white banner on the head of the shopkeeper and dragged him up, pulled him to the counter, and shouted in front of the shopkeeper: "Where are they?" ”
