【Outer suburbs】

Mo Feiming and the two flew down from the air, as if they had agreed, they jumped off the flying sword together, and landed firmly on the ground, they looked at the capital city not far away, took a deep breath, Chu Haoge sighed: "It's finally here." ”

Looking back at Mo Feiming, he said, "I have heard the legend of this capital for a long time, but although it is famous, I have never been here, and now I can see the world." ”

Mo Feiming looked at Chu Haoge, then at the city not far away, and said, "I'm also here for the first time. "Because the capital is the place where the ghost gate is located, the yin qi is very heavy, and it is originally very suitable for the cultivation of ghost cultivation and evil cultivation, but there is the majesty of the underworld, and there are no ghosts in the city of the capital, and even within a hundred miles, there are no ghosts at all, otherwise once the ghost of the king of the underworld is caught, it will be over.

Therefore, the Qingyun Immortal faction rarely sends disciples to this place to eliminate demons, so the Xudu gathered some ghost cultivators who dare not make trouble, although these ghost cultivators are mortals, but they are ordered by the Hades to get rid of the troublemakers in the Xudu City, and wait until the Midyear Festival every year, as soon as the ghost door is opened, they will be escorted to the underworld and handed over to the Hades King to deal with.

This is also the reason why the legend is that it is a ghost town, but there are still people who want to settle here.

Chu Haoge and the two walked to the city of Xudu, and soon came to the city of Xudu, speaking of which, this gate of the city of Xudu is not as good as the gate of Jiangling or Luoyang before, and the gate is closed and there are people checking it.

When they reached the gate, it was wide open, and there was no one to check it, and not many of them went to the city, but a group of people went out of the city.

The two of them were a little baffled, so they had to squeeze in against the crowd, and the crowd out of the city was like a big wave, wave after wave, and they had to hurry towards the city.

It is also strange to say that the farther they go into the city, the fewer people there are, which is different from other cities, and even in this daytime, a few shops are hung with signs of closure.

The streets were very sparsely populated, and there were a few people in strange costumes, some wearing short clothes and ornaments, and some dressed in ordinary clothes but with a pale face.

Chu Haoge stared at these strange people who walked over one by one, without blinking his eyes, until later, a person with a headdress glared at him fiercely, he didn't dare to look at it, and whispered to Mo Feiming on the side: "Brother Mo, what kind of people are these, it seems that they are not the people in the city." ”

Mo Feiming secretly glanced at these people, and then hurriedly withdrew his gaze and whispered to Chu Haoge: "Brother Chu, don't offend them." Saying that, Mo Feiming gave Chu Haoge a look, asked him to look at the person with a pale face, and whispered: "If what I checked is correct, that person should be a ghost cultivator." ”

Chu Haoge was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked at Mo Feiming in disbelief, and asked, "Brother Mo, you are a member of the Immortal Sect, why are you still afraid of ghost cultivation?" Why didn't you take him? "Chu Haoge is very difficult to accept, this ghost cultivator is actually rampant to this extent, and he dares to walk on the street openly.

Mo Feiming shook his head, looked at Chu Haoge helplessly, and said: "Brother Chu, don't talk nonsense, this is a ghost town, and it is normal to have ghost cultivators, and these ghost cultivators dare to walk on the street in broad daylight, probably to run errands for the Hades King." ”

"I see." Chu Haoge nodded, it seems that this is really someone's territory, he thought, looked at the strangely dressed people on the other side, and asked, "What about those people?" It doesn't seem to be from the Central Plains. ”

Mo Feiming glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Indeed, these people should be from Miao Jiang, let's go quickly." "Although he is the chief disciple of the Qingyun Sect, he doesn't dare to provoke the Miao people easily, if he uses the Gu technique, I'm afraid it will be another trouble.

Chu Haoge nodded, and walked out with Mo Feiming, asking in a low voice as he walked, "Miao people?" How did the Miao people come here? ”

"I don't know." Mo Feiming shook his head, asked him about this, who did he ask? I only felt that when I came to the capital city today, Brother Chu's problems had increased, so he changed the topic and said, "Let's find an inn to live in first." ”

"It's fine." Chu Haoge nodded, after all, there is still one day, tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, and when they wait for the child after tomorrow, they will enter the underworld.

The two of them walked around the city for almost a while, but almost all the inns were closed, and only one was open, so the two walked in.

After entering the inn, they found that there were many people in the inn, and even more people were sitting on the first floor of the inn than there were more people on the street than a dozen streets.

As soon as he entered the door, a guy greeted him in and asked, "The two of you are please, are you playing a tip or staying in the hotel?" ”

"Stay in the hotel."

The guy led them to the counter, and Chu Haoge said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, open two guest rooms for me." ”

"Okay." The shopkeeper responded, and said while pulling the abacus: "Two rooms, one for five taels of silver a day, how many days do you want to live?" ”

"Five taels?" Chu Haoge was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "We just need an ordinary room, but we don't need a heavenly room." ”

"Huh?" The shopkeeper was also happy, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you misunderstood, I am talking about an ordinary room." ”

"What?" Chu Haoge screamed in surprise, almost didn't lift the counter, and the people around him who were eating and drinking on the first floor all looked at him, Chu Haoge smiled a little embarrassedly, nodded and apologized to those people, and then whispered to the shopkeeper: "An ordinary room costs five taels, are you robbing money?" ”

"Hey, guest officer, you don't know this, it's been at this price these days, if you don't want to stay, you can scan it in the city, maybe there are other inns open."

"This ......" Chu Haoge looked frustrated, isn't this nonsense, the reason why this shopkeeper dares to say this is that he has bitten the inn that is now open in this capital city? No wonder it's so expensive.

Chu Haoge's face was about to become a bun pleat, it was so expensive, the two of them would have to spend twenty taels for two days together, and he would not have much to entangle......

Just as he was thinking, Mo Feiming on the side took out twenty taels of silver ingots from his pocket, put them on the counter, and said, "We lived, two rooms, two days." ”

"Okay." Seeing Mo Feiming's bold move, the shopkeeper's face turned into a chrysanthemum, and he hurriedly called the shopkeeper to lead them to see the room.

Chu Haoge is stupid, why did this Brother Mo hand over the money first? I have known Mo Feiming for so long and often received help from him, how can I make him pay? But now it's hard to say anything, so he just stopped Mo Feiming: "Brother Mo, this ......"

Mo Feiming looked at Chu Haoge, his reaction was also quite fast, he saw Chu Haoge's thoughts, and said: "Before leaving, Shizun took me some silver taels, and this time all the expenses came out of this, so Brother Chu doesn't have to mind?" ”

"What?" When Chu Haoge heard this, he asked, "Is it the old man in charge who pays for it?" ”

Mo Feiming nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"That's a." Chu Haoge looked overjoyed, grabbed Mo Feiming and walked quickly, and said to himself: "Let you pit me, see that I don't eat you." Chu Haoge was naturally still thinking about the fact that the head of the sect at that time tricked him into the forbidden land and tricked him into fighting with the fierce beast.

"Brother Chu, ...... you" Mo Feiming saw this, a little helpless, although he knew that Chu Haoge was a little at odds with his master, Chu Haoge could do this, but the premise was not to say it, wouldn't it make him Mo Feiming ugly when he said it......

Chu Haoge reacted at this time, and when he was excited just now, he actually forgot that Mo Feiming was still beside him. "Ahem" coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "That...... Brother Mo, I was just joking, don't you mind......"

The two of them looked at their room, so the guy retreated, Chu Haoge went to Mo Feiming's room, it was time for him to ask what he was going to do in the underworld this time, and what he needed to do.

The senior in charge only told him to let him run once, but he didn't say anything specific. Along the way, Chu Haoge also had the right to go on an outing, and now that he is in the right place, he can't be stupid and don't know anything, if it breaks down, it will be miserable.

Chu Haoge and Mo Feiming sat on two chairs in the room, and in front of them were two cups of tea on the table, Mo Feiming asked, "Brother Chu, is there something wrong?" ”

"......" Chu Haoge nodded and said very seriously: "This time we are going to enter the underworld, right?" ”

Mo Feiming was stunned for a moment, looked at Chu Haoge, stood up, and quickly pinched a spell, a spell was played, isolating the room from the outside, and only then sat down this time and said, "Yes, what's wrong." ”

Chu Haoge said, "Then what are we going to do? Then Chu Haoge asked a lot, probably how they entered the underworld, how they would meet the Hades after that, and what they would do after meeting the Hades.

Seeing this, Mo Fei asked Chu Haoge with a suspicious expression: "Brother Chu, these ...... Didn't the master tell you? ”

"Nope." Chu Haoge shook his head, scolded the old man a few words in his heart, and said, "The senior in charge only told me to follow you, but didn't tell me what to do. ”

"......" Mo Feiming was helpless for a while, so he told Chu Haoge all the tasks he had done this time.

This time I went to report to the Hades, mainly because of the breaking of the Styx, so that the Hades could prepare early, and it was best to send someone to investigate.

It's just that Murphym doesn't know more of them, in fact, seventeen years ago, the River Styx had a break, but that one was much more serious than the one a few days ago.

Even when the River Styx was cut off, the water of the Lethe River in the underworld poured back into the world, thanks to the Qingyun Immortal Sect's early vigilance, which did not cause a catastrophe, otherwise once the water of the Lethe River completely returned to the world, then the people who drank the water were all attracted by the water of the Lethe River, and the water of the Lethe River was drunk by the soul, and no one knew what would happen to the living if they drank it.

That time the Styx River was cut off, and after the Lechuan River poured into the world, the Qingyun Immortal Sect would send disciples to garrison there, and as soon as there was any movement, they would immediately report to the sect, and it was really found that something strange was found seventeen years later, that is, a few days ago, this sudden interruption of the flow, but the Qingyun Sect had to pay attention to it, but the cause of the disaster was not in the world, and in the underworld, even if the Qingyun Immortal Sect intended to be vigilant, it was always unable to cure the root.

So they had to let them go into the underworld and tell the king about it.

"I see." Chu Haoge only heard Mo Feiming say that they were here to report this time, so he asked, "Then how are we going to enter the underworld?" Shall we go in as soon as the door opens? ”

"Naturally not?" Mo Feiming was stunned when he heard this, and he went in as soon as the ghost door opened? Is he a gate of the devil or a gate? What's more, if it is so simple to enter the underworld, then what does it have to be done by Chu Haoge? Mo Feiming didn't go in himself.

Mo Feiming and Chu Haoge told the information of the capital city.

As soon as the city arrives at the Midyear Festival, the ghost gate will be opened, and countless ghosts will be drawn from it to collect the paper money burned by their respective families, so there is a saying that this so-called Midyear Festival is also a festival of reunion, just a member of the relatives of the Yin and Yang worlds.

The ghost door is opened, and the ghosts of the underworld gush out, which is what people often say "the ghost door is wide open", and the ghost door will be closed before dawn the next day, if there are ghosts who have no time to go back, then they will be left in the yang world, and those who stay in the yang world are not evil ghosts and ghosts, they can only be wiped out.

And if a person from the yang world enters, it is tantamount to probing a torch into the river and sea, and if it enters rashly, it will definitely become a ghost.

"What, so horrible?" Hearing Mo Feiming say this, Chu Haoge's face was dead, wouldn't it be a life of death if he went in? Or even ten dead.

Mo Feiming shook his head, and then said: "However, what we are going to go is not this ghost gate, but the yang gate. ”

"How?" Chu Haoge asked.

Mo Feiming continued: "The so-called Yang Gate is for people in the world to enter without any harm, and it has been recorded in the book that the Yang Gate of the underworld can be entered by the living, and when entering, there will be a formation to seal the Yang Qi in the body, so that it will not leak out and not be hurt by the Yin Qi. Mo Feiming thought for a while and said: "There was an ancient sect in Shushan before, and every year it would send disciples as envoys to enter the underworld, and it was this gate that walked, but after the ancient sect disappeared, there was no record of who opened this door and walked in." ”

"Brother Mo, do you mean that even you don't know how to open this door?" Chu Haoge asked.

"Of course not." Mo Feiming said: "No one enters, and it's not that no one can open it, in fact, anyone can open this ghost door during the Zhongyuan Festival, but even if people know how to open it, no one dares to open it, without the ghost king's order, opening it is tantamount to sending it to death." ”

"I see." Chu Haoge pinched the Ghost King Order in his arms, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: "This thing is really a life-saving talisman." ”
