106. Land Judgment

The young man confessed that he was not from the Ji royal family, which caught Liu Wen and the others off guard.

"How is that possible? You have been growing up in the palace-inner courtyard, if it weren't for the royal family, how could the queen mother and the first emperor raise you? You must know that confusing the royal bloodline is a big sin for the nine clans. "Or, the main owner of this body is Emperor Chun, and this person is the lonely ghost who occupies the magpie's nest? Liu Wen looked skeptical.

"It doesn't matter what crazy you're pretending to be stupid, just go up and open the door!" Liu Chuanshan's tone was extremely impatient.

Seeing that the master also nodded at himself, Youshu had to step forward and press his palm on the groove. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and found that this door was really a bit mysterious, and the handprints on it were not big or small, and they were in line with him, and if he changed someone, he would definitely not succeed, as if the mold used to build it was his right hand.

Shimen didn't move for a long time, he lifted it up, cut through the knife edge of yesterday, put a little blood and pressed it again, still not moving.

"Can't do it either?" Liu Wen and others were disappointed.

"No, forget it, hurry up and bandage the wound." Meng Changye tried to pull the boy away, but heard him whisper, "Let me try again." ”

This door is too similar to the ghost gate, and it can't be opened with blood, so what about the golden light of Ziwei Emperor's qi and merit? There's no other way to do it anyway, just give it a try. Thinking like this, Youshu forced the Ziwei Emperor Qi and the golden light of merit in his body into the palm of his hand and pressed it hard.

Liu Wen and the others saw that his palm suddenly glowed with purple-gold brilliance, and they were immediately stunned. What, what's going on? Immortal?

The relief on the stone door absorbs the purple-gold light bit by bit, so that it becomes overflowing, beautiful, and in a few moments, the creak of the mechanism starts from the ground, and the two doors that are still tightly closed finally slowly open, revealing a pitch-black, bottomless, downward extension of the steps, and a cold air current.

Everyone was so frozen by the air flow that they shivered, and their hearts were beating for a while.

"Actually, it really opened. What is that golden light? Liu Chuanshan looked at the young man, and his eyes faintly showed a look of horror. Such a scene was obviously beyond the scope of his cognition, as if the mud that he had disliked before had become a bodhisattva in the temple in a blink of an eye. The rest of the people were also in awe and awe, and their hearts were worthy of the legendary true dragon bloodline, and there was really something strange about it.

Only Meng Changye, whose expression remained unchanged at all, just stretched out his hand and grabbed the dog's arm. This man is so mysterious that he is afraid that he will run away.

Youshu was also a little surprised, but quickly calmed down, seeing Liu Wen lit a candle to probe the air below, and found that there was no miasma, he gathered people and horses, prepared to take them down, and hurriedly stopped, "Military Division, this gate is very similar to the ghost gate of the Netherworld, I'm afraid it's not a simple underground palace and mechanism below, maybe you will encounter some dirt." You take everybody down, and if everyone is in danger together, who will come to the rescue? In addition, there are many people with mixed hands, in case anyone touches the mechanism, everyone will only die faster if they are huddled together, so it is better to order a few strong and good men to go down and explore. ”

Liu Wen plans to use violent demolition to obtain the treasure, that is to say, no matter what the underground palace building, all of them will be destroyed by it, and a thousand people will be enough. But he is quite confused about the bottom of the boy now, and he attaches great importance to his words. He also saw that the palm print on the stone door overlapped with the young man's right hand, and the larger one could not be pressed in, and the smaller one could not fill the gap, that is, unless he found this person, no one would try to open the underground palace when anyone came, as if the things in this palace were specially prepared for him.

"Okay, then order a few people to go down and take a look." He bowed his head in agreement.

"I'll go." Several lieutenant generals were bold and raised their hands in unison.

"I want to go too." Youshu lowered her head and looked at the bottomless steps, with a confused and sad look in her eyes. He had a faint feeling that something was calling to him underneath, and it was very important.

"What are you going to do? Give me the honesty to stay on it. Meng Changye had already prepared to visit in person, but he would never take the puppies down.

The two tugged for a while, but in the end Meng Changye compromised, his ears were so red that he was dripping blood, just because this dog cub was very good at coaxing people, and even said something like "I will go wherever you go, and I will die with you", which made him crazy with joy, and he wanted to maintain a majestic posture in front of his subordinates.

"Why are you so pestering? Would you die without Lao Tzu? That's it, if you want to go, you can go, but you are not allowed to leave Lao Tzu on the way, do you hear? Once you encounter danger, you will go up to Lao Tzu! He was full of disgust and disgusted, but in fact, flowers had bloomed in his heart.

Youshu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Liu Wen had long been accustomed to the greasy behavior of the two of them regardless of the occasion, so he ordered eighteen soldiers with strong martial arts skills, and it was exactly twenty together, no more, no less. Before going down, Youshu distributed the pre-prepared communication charm and advised, "There is a drop of my blood in this charm, and you can also cut your finger and drop a drop into it, and you can talk to me." He put the folded triangular talisman on his forehead and demonstrated, "If you are separated from me, put the talisman on your brow like this, and then meditate on what you want to say, and I will be able to hear and communicate with you." If you enter a labyrinth or something, and one person goes out, the rest of the people can follow as long as they close their eyes and follow the instructions of the talisman. ”

"Boy, you're pretending to be crazy and stupid again, aren't you? Are you tired? One lieutenant scoffed. If this thing is really so magical, he cut off his head and gave it to Emperor Chun to sit on as a stool.

"I'd rather believe it than believe it, and do what Ji Gongzi said." Liu Wen pierced his fingertips and dripped a drop of blood. Everyone saw the purple and gold light just now, how to explain it? Maybe the words that this person said before were all true, such as "one body and two souls, Taoism, and ghosts and immortals". At this point, it's always right to have an extra layer of preparation.

Over there, Meng Changye had already dripped his own blood into it, and raised his eyebrows to watch the blood beads quickly merge into the yellow talisman, forming a faint light covering the surface.

"Good fellow, it's shining! Does it really work? Liu Chuanshan also dripped blood, and then showed a dumbfounded expression. When everyone saw it, they immediately no longer hesitated, and pricked their fingertips to bleed.

Youshu took out a human-shaped talisman and handed it to the general guarding outside, "This is the general's natal talisman, if you find that the talisman shows signs of broken corners, defects, and burning, you should hurry down to answer it." ”

Although the general was skeptical, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly nodded in agreement. Preparing torches, weapons, dry food and other things, the twenty people slowly descended the steps, and as soon as their backs disappeared at the end of the tunnel, the two stone doors closed with lightning speed, causing the soldiers outside to be in chaos.

At this time, You Shu and the others did not know that the retreat had been cut off, and were walking towards the depths of the underground palace step by step. The staircase was long, as if there was no end, and it took two hours to reach a gentle place. Meng Changye grabbed the young man tightly with one hand, and held the torch high with the other, looking at the surrounding environment.

It is a stone cave with strange stalactites on the walls and clusters of glowing mushrooms and ferns dotted between the cracks, and if the torches are extinguished, the blue, green, or yellow light emitted by these plants alone is enough to illuminate the surroundings.

"I don't know how big this dungeon is, but there are only a few torches, and I will light them when I need them, so let's extinguish them for the time being." Shu Qingyue's voice echoed in the cave.

Meng Changye extinguished the torch without saying a word, and the rest of the people felt justified and did so. Without the interference of the flames, the light of the plants is softer and more colorful, and at first glance it looks like a fairyland.

"What the hell is this? I've never seen a glowing weed in my life. An adjutant general stretched out his hand to touch a clump of ferns, and when his fingertips were only inches away from the leaves, he listened to the warning of the military advisor and Emperor Chun, "Don't touch it, be careful of poison." ”

He was so frightened that he was about to withdraw his hand, but a creature the size of a rat jumped out of the grass, squeaking and pounced on him in the face, and quickly burrowed into his mouth. The sound seemed to open a mechanism, and a dense mass of small black shadows popped out of the grass and crawled towards the general.

"Ahh......h Whining...... "But in an instant, the adjutant general's miserable howl turned into a muffled hum, and then into a dying coughing up blood and heavy wheezing.......

Before everyone could see what the black shadow was, they raised their knives and drove them away, and the blade cut through the black shadow's stomach and intestines, making a scalp-numbing scream. The nearest man only slashed a few times before screaming, "Ahhhh What the fuck is this? ”

A few more people gathered around and chopped, and then their eyes were split, because these black shadows were not rats or beetles, but villains. They were scrawny, their limbs thin, but their heads were enormous, and with a slight opening of their mouths, two rows of sharp teeth were exposed, gnawing at the body of the lieutenant inch by inch. There were also a few villains squatting on the adjutant general's face, pulling out the tongue from his mouth and constantly elongating.

The vice president rolled back and forth, but could not even moan in pain. Ben's companions, who were trying to save him, were horrified, brandishing their sabers and retreating sharply. Meng Changye threw the dog cub to an adjutant general, ordered him to take the people farther away, and then rushed over with a knife to help. His sword skills were very sharp, like a swift wind, and the life of the villain was spilled in a moment, but in a moment, his path was sprinkled with black and red blood and small corpses.

The subordinates were encouraged and rushed over, but unexpectedly, the strong fishy smell attracted more villains, who climbed on the cave wall densely and layer upon layer, and then rushed up. There are constantly black shadows strung around everyone, biting here and scratching there, and it is impossible to prevent it. As if they had a soft spot for the human tongue, a few of them would pounce on their faces, pry open between the person's teeth with their sharp claws, and pull the tongue out and elongate until it was cut off.

In just a moment, all the human surfaces were covered with a dense layer of villains, and they couldn't shake them off, and a few of them even had their tongues torn off. Only Youshu formed a blank circle around her, and the slightest villain got close to her screaming and fleeing, as if she had been burned by fire.

The general who was in charge of protecting him was very surprised, and when he was not careful, he saw him pounce on the general and scatter the villain.

"These things are hungry! The hungry ghost of the Hungry Ghost Dao in the Six Realms of Hell! He explained as he took out a few talismans from his sleeve pocket and urged them with Ziwei Emperor Qi. The talisman burned instantly, emitting a dazzling purple light, and the hungry ghosts screamed in unison, and finally dissipated in the light. A few hungry ghosts escaped by hiding in the cracks of the stones where the light could not shine, but they did not dare to come forward again, and they all went deep into the cave.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, didn't bother to check their injuries, and hurriedly went to help the lieutenant who suffered first.

"Lao Li, Lao Li, how are you?" Liu Wen pinched the other party's middle hard, and saw that his tongue was still hanging outside, and he had been torn out by the evil ghost with many bloody wounds, and his heart couldn't help but be terrified.

"What kind of place is this, how can there be ghosts?" Liu Chuanshan's voice trembled. He has never believed in ghosts and gods, but after several times, he has to believe in it. The rest of the people also showed expressions of apprehension, and then Qi Qi looked towards Emperor Chun. Previously, they had always thought that this person was pretending to be crazy and stupid, but only now did they realize that they were clumsy, and they couldn't even distinguish such a true god.

A few talismans burned tens of thousands of hungry ghosts, how deep does this have to be?

"It's me who didn't think it through." Youshu took out twenty yellow talismans from the package and distributed them one by one, "When I saw that door, I should have understood that this is not an underground palace, but an underground mansion." It's easy to get in and hard to get out, presumably the door is closed now, and we're afraid that there is no way out, so we can only move forward. This is a talisman, which can dispel evil cults, but it has a certain time limit, and when the talisman is scorched, you will come to me again to change a new one. ”

This time, no one sarcastically mocked him anymore, and immediately took the talisman for personal collection. Meng Changye pasted the previous transmission charm on the door of his head, and silently called, "Dogs? ”

"What?" Youshu turned out the medicine powder that had been prepared earlier, sprinkled it evenly on his wound, and took out the sterilized cloth strips to bandage it.

"It's okay, I just want to call you." Meng Changye touched-touched-his cheek, and his heart was settled. Those hungry ghosts were obviously afraid of Youshu and didn't dare to hurt him, and that's fine. If this is really the underworld, even if he pierces through the center of the earth, he has to send Youshu out safe and sound.

The rest of the people saw that the general had used the communication talisman, and only then did they feel it out in hindsight, and they all pressed against their eyebrows and called, "Ji Gongzi? Checkmate? Strategist? Lao Liu ......, "Everyone's minds are mixed, and there is a voice from anyone, which shows that as long as you stick the talisman on the center of your eyebrows at the same time, you can communicate unimpeded, and this method is so strange!"

Liu Wen saw that he couldn't wake up Lao Li, so he hurriedly took out his talisman and stuck it on his head, and called anxiously, "Lao Li, wake up quickly!" ”

Ben also you called me and I called you, and everyone who was playing together called Lao Li's soul together, and finally woke him up. Youshu burned a piece of talisman paper, threw it into the kettle and made talisman water, and fed him to drink. This time, no one suspected that he had been poisoned, but there was anticipation in his eyes.

Lao Li was still a little drowsy, but he immediately woke up after drinking Fu Shui, and even the pain of the wounds all over his body was halved, and he slowly sat down with the support of Liu Wen and others.

"Damn, what the hell is that?" He withdrew his elongated tongue and mumbled.

Everyone was silent, and they couldn't bear to tell him the truth. Ji Gongzi's magical methods have completely convinced them, since he said that this is the underworld, it must be right. But the living have entered the underworld, and they do not know if they have any life to go out.

"Frustrated what? The road is all walked out by people, that is, there is no road, and Lao Tzu has to dig a way to ascend to heaven! Meng Changye held the paws of the puppy and his tone was firm.

"Yes, don't be discouraged, there may be no way out ahead." Youshu tried to wrap around her master's broad shoulders, but because her hands were short, she could only half-hug them, so she patted and comforted her instead, "Don't be afraid, general, I will definitely take you out safe and sound." It's just a netherworld, and it's not like I haven't been here. ”

"You've been here?" Liu Wen grasped the key point.

"It's not the underworld here, but it's not far off. All we need to do is enter the Yama Hall and find the Gate of the Six Paths, and we can escape from humanity. He pondered for a moment and added, "Those hungry ghosts like to pull out people's tongues the most, it seems that the structure of this underground palace is arranged according to the eighteen layers of hell. In other words, this is the first hell, the tongue pulling hell, and then the scissors hell, the iron tree hell, the mirror hell, and so on. ”

Liu Wen said in horror, "You mean, we have to go through the eighteenth layer of hell before we can enter the Yama Palace?" ”

Eighteen layers of hell, what a terrible place is that? Even evil spirits can't survive it, let alone people? Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they all looked desperate.

"What are you afraid of, you're coming, just go down!" Meng Changye pulled the young man up and ordered, "Have you rested?" After resting, continue to walk, these eighteen layers of hell, Lao Tzu really wants to see and see! ”

"Let's go, I'm afraid of an egg!" Liu Chuanshan immediately followed, but intentionally or unintentionally next to Emperor Chun, this is a true immortal, whether he can leave alive or not depends on him. Everyone saw that the good position was robbed, so they quickly chased after it.

The facts soon proved that Youshu's inference was correct, and after walking through the cave-hole with gentle terrain, a long step appeared in front of him, extending downward, and at the bottom of the step, there was another hole-hole, which was still overgrown with glowing plants and strange-shaped stalactites. A few hungry ghosts swooped out like lightning, and as soon as they touched the corners of everyone's clothes, they were charred by exorcism charms, and they held a pair of rusty scissors in their claws as black as dead branches.

"Amitabha! Fortunately, he had Ji Gongzi's amulet on his body, otherwise his fingers would have to be cut off by them one by one. Liu Chuanshan clasped his hands together and was afraid. He had completely converted from an atheist to a Buddhist believer, and was ready to go to the temple as soon as he left the underworld, and then sincerely copy a few scriptures. Of course, I have to grind Ji Gongzi and ask him to accept himself as an apprentice.

The rest of the people also eliminated their previous contempt and suspicion, and moved closer to Ji Gongzi, always feeling safe walking by his side. There was a sound around the walls of the cave, but it was crowded with hungry ghosts with big bellies and thin limbs, all holding a pair of scissors in their hands, clicking and rubbing open and closing.

But afraid of someone's crape myrtle emperor aura, they didn't dare to move, they were all looking for opportunities. Youshu is well versed in the principle of striking first, lighting a few exorcism charms, burning them all to death, and then stepping on the ashes to run quickly, and finally out of the second layer of hell.

The dungeon was bottomless, but it had only taken twelve hours to go down two floors. Everyone was tired and hungry, hastily ate some dry food, lay down in the defensive formation laid out by Ji Gongzi, prepared to replenish the body, and slept for an unknown amount of time before waking up one after another.

Liu Wen always felt that he had forgotten something, and when he saw the general habitually throwing out the person in his arms, he was shocked, "Not good!" Ji Gongzi fell asleep, who will lead the team? Does it depend on Emperor Chun? ”

"-! I forgot about this stubble! Emperor Chun's eggs are useful! Liu Chuanshan was so angry that he scolded.

Meng Changye's face was already pale, and he scooped the package brought by the dog cub into his arms, opened it and rummaged through it carefully. But the handwriting on the talisman was too sloppy, and I didn't see it clearly yesterday, so I didn't know what he burned and what they did. Besides, he didn't rely on open flames to activate the talisman at all, he only needed to hold it on his fingertips and shake it slightly, who could have such kung fu? If it is lit with a fire breaker, can it still have an effect?

The anxious questions surfaced one by one, not only Meng Changye was in a very bad mood, but the rest of the people were also panicked, and the six gods had no master. Unconsciously, Ji Gongzi has become the backbone of everyone, and following him is like chasing a beam of light, and sooner or later he will be able to escape from the ascension to heaven. But if the core in the skin is replaced by Emperor Chun, the terrible situation is unimaginable.

Until this time, they were convinced of the "one body and two souls" that Ji Gongzi said, secretly admiring his magical methods on the one hand, and hating Emperor Chun who occupied his body on the other. said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, only to hear a piercing scream in the cave, and he didn't need to look to know that it was Emperor Chun who woke up.

"Ahhh What the hell is this place? When did you get me in? It stinks! It's so dark! It's cold! I'm going out! Emperor Chun jumped and screamed, and as soon as one foot stepped out of the defensive circle, a hungry ghost pounced. Fortunately, Meng Changye pulled it in time, so that he didn't break all his fingers.

"Be honest with me!" Meng Changye took out a sweat towel, stuffed it into Emperor Chun's mouth, and skillfully tied him up, so that the world could be considered clean. When Emperor Chun saw the dense array of hungry ghosts above his head, he was frightened for a while, and moved to General Huwei's side like a worm, trying to seek protection.

"Without Ji Gongzi, we'd better not go to the third layer of hell casually." Liu Wen said in a deep voice.

"That's right, the third layer is the Iron Tree Hell, I can't say that there will be Shura, and then we will be caught and hung on the Iron Tree to peel the skin." Another lieutenant general was worried.

"Knock this guy out and come back for Ji Gongzi?" Liu Chuanshan gently kicked Emperor Chun.

"Stunk? Not okay? We don't have a serious start, what if we hurt Ji Gongzi? Lao Li hurriedly vetoed. He didn't dare to hurt Ji Gongzi now, not for the sake of the general's face, but from the bottom of his heart.

"The puppies have a way of staying." Meng Changye turned out a pile of talismans from the package, and the oiled paper on the outer bread was written with three big characters of "Sleepy Talisman", and the use of hairpin flowers was detailed below, just stick the talisman on the forehead and then remove it, it can make people fall asleep and wake up.

Youshu was worried that the dominance of the body would be replaced by Emperor Chun, so he left this trick behind. He wanted to explain, but he was so tired that he fell asleep unconsciously, so that he completely forgot about this stubble.

Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a sleeping talisman and put it on Emperor Chun's forehead, and when his eyes were closed, he ripped it off, and then waited with burning eyes.
