Emperor Xudu put down the mahjong in his hand, took a puff with a cigarette gun, and slowly spit out a wisp of smoke.

Suddenly, he snorted and said, "Like, it's really too similar!"

At this time, Bai Wuchang and King Qin Guang on the side also looked at Cao Xiaoyang with wide eyes, and then nodded in unison.

"It's like it's carved out of a mold. ”

"Although it looks very similar, it lacks a bit of that guy's heroism, but if you hone it well, you should still be able to become a great tool. ”

"I think this little doll is more aura than that guy, and he should be the only one to do that thing. ”

Being stared at like this by these four pairs of round ghost eyes, and listening to them say these inexplicable words, Cao Xiaoyang felt uncomfortable, and wanted to say something in his mouth, but he couldn't say it.

At this time, Bai Ying suddenly slapped Bai Wuchang's high hat and said: "What else do you see, he is my newly accepted apprentice in the yang world, and he is your apprentice in terms of seniority. ”

Originally, I was quite happy to hear that I had such a disciple Bai Wuchang, but as soon as he heard that he was going to give a meeting gift, his face suddenly drooped, and a long blood-red tongue unconsciously spit out of his mouth.

According to folk rumors, Bai Wuchang's real name is Xie Bi'an, he was a scholar before his death, and he died by hanging, so from the ghost species, he should belong to the category of hanged ghosts.

Cao Xiaoyang saw that Bai Wuchang was so embarrassed, and he was a newcomer, and it was really difficult to accept other people's things, not to mention that this was still his nominal master, so he planned to refuse.

But his words didn't come out, and then Bai Ying patted Bai Wuchang's head again.

"Hurry up, the emperor and they are all watching, be generous, such a small family is not afraid of embarrassment. ”

In desperation, Bai Wuchang had no choice but to take out a mud doll from his pocket and said: "This is called Wushan Mud Boy, there is a ghost of a spirit boy living in it, he knows astronomy and geography, you can take it out and chat with him when he has nothing to do, it's very interesting, it's a small toy, take it to play." ”

Although Bai Wuchang said it lightly on the surface, he actually began to drip blood in his heart, because this thing was extorted by him from a city god in the yang world a few days ago, and he originally planned to get some dark coins from the pawnshop in the capital and then go to the Heaven and Earth Gambling House to cool off, but now this can be regarded as a complete waste.

Seeing this posture, Cao Xiaoyang really couldn't refuse, otherwise this would be not giving face to his master in front of others, so Cao Xiaoyang had to accept it with a smile.

Seeing that Bai Wuchang had given gifts to this posterity, the rest of Judge Cui and King Qin Guang felt a little embarrassed if they didn't take something out, and they all gave Cao Xiaoyang a meeting gift.

Cao Xiaoyang thanked them one by one, at this time the three on the mahjong table respectively set their eyes on the Emperor Xudu, the old guy touched his body up and down and failed to find a decent thing, and finally smiled awkwardly, and said: "Or this card wants to play here today, this king still has some important things to talk about with this little doll, you go back first." ”

After speaking, he pushed out the mahjong in front of him, and then Bai Wuchang's face suddenly darkened.

He had bad luck all afternoon, lost a lot, and was about to win this game, but he was played a scoundrel by this old guy.

There was suffering in my heart for a while, but there was no way to do it, who let me just tell Bai Ying that this was an entertainment game that didn't play money.

So, Bai Wuchang followed Judge Cui and them away in frustration, Bai Ying gave Cao Xiaoyang a few words, telling him where to find her after talking about things, and then left with him.

At this time, Emperor Xudu asked Cao Xiaoyang, "Do you know what this king invited you here for?"

Cao Xiaoyang replied: "I heard that it is related to a thing called Yin Xi. ”

Emperor Xudu nodded, but then sighed again.

"The plague left behind hundreds of years ago is still erupting.

Eight hundred years ago, the Red Ghost King took the Yin Seal as an order to gather hundreds of thousands of lonely souls to level the Yin and Yang worlds, fortunately, your Cao family ancestor Cao Tianren led the ghost army to fight with my underworld, and finally defeated the Red Flower Ghost King, otherwise it would become a catastrophe in the Yin and Yang worlds.

The power of the Yin Seal has not been able to figure it out yet, but this king believes that what your ancestor Cao Tianren can do, you can too. ”

Seeing that Emperor Xudu looked up to himself so much, Cao Xiaoyang gradually felt a little ashamed, because after all, his ancestor Cao Tianren was a great agitation army for a while, and he was a wastewood young man who couldn't even pay the rent, and he really felt that he didn't have the ability to take on such a big responsibility.

So he confided his heart, and Emperor Xudu laughed when he heard it, and said: "Little doll, the destiny of heaven is like this, but it is not something that you can control in the trivial matters of the yang world. If you want to become famous, a house full of gold and silver, this king only needs one sentence to reincarnate you into the family of the richest man in the yang world, but what's the point?"

Cao Xiaoyang was still puzzled, so he asked, "What is the Mandate of Heaven?"

Emperor Xudu said: "Thinking that the Red Flower Agitated Army controlled the Yin soldiers and dominated one side in the yang world, Emperor Song sent 30,000 elite soldiers to kill and finally returned in vain, but Cao Tianren later killed the Red Flower Agitated Army with two thousand remnants and a few square soldiers, which is the destiny of heaven."

After the death of the Red Flower Agitation Army, he summoned 100,000 lonely souls with the Yin Seal, proclaimed himself the Red Flower Ghost King, and occupied the Northern Netherland. After that, this king personally led the Five Ghost Emperors and Ten Palaces Yama, mobilized almost the entire power of the underworld, and finally failed to defeat him.

And as soon as Cao Tianren joined the camp of our underworld after his death, the Red Flower Ghost King was quickly defeated, which was also the destiny of heaven.

The destiny is like this, your Cao family is the nemesis of the Yin Seal, so the great task of finding the Yin Seal belongs to you Cao Xiaoyang. ”

"But what you said are the deeds of my ancestor Cao Tianren, he is him, I am me, and I may not be able to do what he can do. ”

At this time, Emperor Xudu sighed and said, "Originally, this king also had such doubts in his heart, but from the moment this king saw you just now, this doubt has disappeared.

Because this king saw Cao Tianren's heroism in you, and your appearance was almost carved out of a mold, this king even felt that you were the reincarnation of Cao Tianren. However, Cao Tianren has been reincarnated for more than ten lifetimes now, and there is no way to verify this kind of thing. ”

Cao Xiaoyang thought to himself, just because I was like Cao Tianren's reincarnation, let me go to the Yin Xi? This decision is inevitably too hasty.

But at this time, he listened to Emperor Xudu continue: "Of course, if you succeed in finding the Yin Seal, it will be regarded as a great contribution to the entire underworld, and this king will definitely reward you greatly, so that you can enjoy the glory and wealth of the Ninth World without worrying about food and clothing, what do you think?"

Worry-free food and clothing, glory and wealth, in the era of Cao Xiaoyang's life, it seems a little cheesy to hang these two words on his lips, but this is also what most people today rack their brains and strive to pursue, even if some people will boast of being high, but in the face of absolute interests, he will still wag his tail at the gold lord like a dog.

Money is not omnipotent, but no money is impossible, Cao Xiaoyang, who has been lonely since he was a child, understands this truth very well, so he knows that the glory of the ninth generation is definitely worth fighting for.

"Okay, as soon as we decide, I'll leave the matter of the Yin Seal to me. ”

Emperor Xudu laughed. "The children can be taught, the children can be taught, hahahaha!"

After that, Emperor Xudu handed Cao Xiaoyang a box made of crystal, saying that this box has the ability to sense the power of the Yin Seal, as long as the soul fragment of the ghost printed with the Yin Seal pattern is put into it, it can automatically identify the concentration point of the next Yin Xi power, and give corresponding instructions, so that Cao Xiaoyang can approach the Yin Xi body little by little through the instructions of this box.

After explaining this, Emperor Xudu returned to the state on the mahjong table just now, and said to Cao Xiaoyang with a smile: "This ghost city of Xudu will be your frequent place in the future, you will still live here for two days in the future, get familiar with this place and then return to the yang world." ”

After speaking, he gave Cao Xiaoyang a Yin Commander card, with this thing, Cao Xiaoyang will no longer have to take Huangquan Road to and from the ghost city of Xudu in the future, but can take the shortcut from Lethe River to the Yang World like other Yin Divisions.

Leaving the main hall, Cao Xiaoyang planned to go to a place called Lechuan Water Tower to find Master Bai Ying.

Because he was not familiar with the road when he first came here, although he inquired several times, he finally got lost, and he walked out of the capital city.

Outside the city, surrounded by a large river, different from the black and foul-smelling Santu River, the water of this river is dark red, the surface of the river is shrouded in mist, and the riverbed is very winding, looking from a distance like a red python lying among the flowers on the other side.

Cao Xiaoyang was attracted by the beautiful scenery of the riverside, and couldn't help but walk towards the riverside, in addition to the flowers on the other side, there are also some reed-like weeds growing on the riverside, the river is very quiet, even if you get closer, you can't see it flowing.

Cao Xiaoyang walked all the way along the river bank and saw a stone tablet with inscriptions, only to know that this river was Lethe.

Cao Xiaoyang continued to move forward for a while, and suddenly faintly heard a flute sound coming from the Lechuan River, and Cao Xiaoyang was very familiar with the music played by this flute, so he walked over in the direction of the flute, and sure enough, he saw Bai Xiaoyan's figure.

His white clothes are very eye-catching among the blood-red flowers on the other side, and he plays the flute while looking at the river in the distance, this picture makes Cao Xiaoyang feel a strange beauty, as if he is now in a gorgeous ancient painting.

Seeing that Bai Xiaoyan's flute was playing, Cao Xiaoyang didn't bother him, just stood by and watched from afar.

But at this moment, it suddenly rained heavily in the air, and seeing that Bai Xiaoyan was still playing the flute by himself, Cao Xiaoyang was a little anxious, and hurriedly ran towards him.
