The forest was originally lush and green, and it was a scene of vitality. But now the forest in front of Ye Cheng is full of dead trees, without a little bit of green, it is simply lifeless.

These trees do not look like they lose their leaves in the fall, but die completely. Under the wind instigated by the two rotors above the head of the transport plane, it is easy to blow away dead branches.

The tiny branches that fell down were like rain.

The rest of the people standing on the left and right sides of Ye Cheng were also stunned when they saw this forest, and their eyes widened one by one. The dead forest also made everyone forget the stench that permeated the air for a while.

That's a good thing.

At this time, Bei Mao calmly patted Ye Cheng's right shoulder and said, "Everyone, let's go to the prefecture first."

After speaking, Beimao walked along the transport plane to the nose of the plane.

And after Ye Cheng heard the words, he turned around and saw Bei Mao walking away, and followed without saying anything.

Then everyone followed suit.

Walked around the nose of the plane and into the dead woods. There were no foliage overhead, and the sun should have been abundant, but unfortunately the sky was covered by thick dark clouds, so the forest of dead trees was also gloomy.

The forest is not big, and it takes a long time to walk outside the forest.

Outside the forest, you can still see the rising black smoke, and the black smoke is very dense. There is a black smoke in the vast land more than ten meters apart, and seeing such a scene is like being in a dark world!

Looking at such black smoke, Ye Cheng's mood always remained heavy.

Maintaining a heavy heart, Ye Cheng looked at the open space in front of him and asked, "Brother Beimao, where is the prefecture?" ”

Beimao also looked ahead and replied, "It's not far ahead, let's go"

After speaking, Bei Maoyou walked straight forward, and did not explain clearly where the county was?

The front has a wide field of vision, and apart from the dense black smoke, there is no city wall to see.

If you live on the mountains like the people of the Tiangu Kingdom, then you must also have mountains, but where does the mountain come from when the terrain is flat in front of you?

Ye Cheng was really puzzled, but when he saw Bei Mao's sworn appearance, he suddenly had a guess in his heart, could it be that the people of the underworld live underground?

Now it appears that this guess is 99 percent accurate.

The remaining one percent can only be seen by going and seeing.

Ye Cheng continued to walk up to keep up with Bei Mao's pace, while the others followed closely behind Ye Cheng.

The terrain is vast, and there is nothing to notice along the way except for the black smoke from a large number of burning corpses.

Ye Cheng completely focused on finding the entrance to the prefecture, if the prefecture was really underground, then there must be an entrance.

And just as Ye Cheng was looking down, Bei Mao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped in front of a tombstone.

Ye Cheng walked in and saw that the tombstone was not written with information related to the deceased, but with the word "prefecture and county". Looking back, behind the tombstone was a tomb as tall as an adult man, and there was a door on the side of the tomb facing Ye Cheng.

It was a double door, and the façade was smooth and black.

The tombstone of a tomb did not write the name of the deceased, but the name of the place, which made Ye Cheng a little frightened.

Frightened, Ye Cheng pointed to the tombstone in front of him and asked, "Brother Beimao, what's going on?" ”

"This is the entrance to the prefecture"

Bei Mao looked down at the tombstone with a calm face and said, then walked forward and walked around the tombstone to the door, raised his right hand and tapped it lightly twice.

After knocking, the door opened to the side.

A hunchbacked old woman suddenly appeared behind the door and asked in a low voice, "Is it yin or yang"

The old woman's back was hunched very badly, almost ninety degrees, and she had to rely on a cane that she held in her right hand.

Moreover, the old woman's clothes were tattered and dirty, and her hair was also dirty and hung down in front of her face, so that people could not see her face clearly. But I can vaguely see a pair of seeping eyes, like the eyes of a ghost, staring at you all the time.

Seeing the old woman like this, Ye Cheng and the others felt a little scared and trembled.

And Beimao was only less than half a meter away from the old woman, but he still calmly replied: "Yang"

After hearing the word yang, the old woman continued: "Yang enters yin, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, otherwise yin enters the body and becomes yin"

"I understand it under it"

After a brief exchange between Beimao and the old woman, the old woman stepped out of the door, and then Beimao turned back to look at everyone, and said cautiously: "Follow me, everyone, don't look back before you go to the city, and don't talk"

With that, Beimao took the lead and walked into the door at the head of the tomb. The trembling group behind also quickly followed.

Inside the door is a staircase that leads to the ground, and the staircase is narrow enough to pass one person at a time. Ye Cheng followed closely behind Bei Mao, and the dim environment around him added a lot of fear to him.

On both sides of the staircase hung a small oil lamp, which was not as big as a palm, and the flame of the wick was only a small loss, and the range that could illuminate it was less than half a meter.

The worst thing is that there is only one oil lamp two or three meters apart, which makes the entire staircase that extends downward in darkness.

Bei Mao said that he couldn't ask and couldn't turn back, so Ye Cheng didn't ask anything and just followed Bei Mao.

The stairs are not long, and they soon reach the level ground.

After reaching the flat land, Beimao stopped moving forward and turned his back to everyone, and whispered, "Okay, this is the prefecture." If we want to find someone to take us down to the underworld, we can go to one place, and that is the tavern."

"Tavern?"

Ye Cheng exclaimed a little! He quickly stepped forward and stood at Beimao's outstretched out, looked at Beimao and asked, "This place has an eerie feeling, and there are taverns too?" ”

"Haha"

Bei Mao laughed and said, "They are human beings after all, and if they are human beings, they have to eat and drink, so it is not strange to have a tavern." The county seat of the underworld will be underground for decades, and they are not ghosts, but living people, just pretending to be ghosts."

Although Bei Mao had already explained it clearly, Ye Cheng still had palpitations and asked, "Then when we walked down the stairs just now, you told us not to turn back and not to speak, why is that?" And what do you mean by what you said to the old woman? ”

When asked like this, Bei Mao's face suddenly became gloomy and said, "That staircase is called the ghost road, and it is the passage into the county seat. Because the people of the underworld believe in hell, anyone who turns back or speaks on the demon path is considered disrespectful to hell. People who are disrespectful to hell are not allowed to enter the county seat, as long as you turn around and talk, someone will immediately appear and pull you out. The worst ones will burn on the spot, and the lighter ones will just drive you away. As for what I said to the ghost woman......"

"Spare my life, I won't dare anymore"

"Pull him out and burn him"

"Don't! For my poor daughter's sake, spare my life."
