Volume 4 Chapter 87 Birthday
This long stone staircase, just when Wang Xi thought that it would never be finished, finally came to an end.
At this time, the ghost gate was really deserted, and they were about to go down, only to see dozens of sparse Yin soldiers scattered around patrolling.
As soon as Huangquan Road was broken, Yin and Yang were separated, and the strategic significance of the Ghost Gate Pass dropped by more than half in an instant.
Coupled with the mysterious boundary gate, the underworld naturally has a completely different way of thinking when considering the allocation of troops.
"You see that the water in this Lechuan River is both upstream and downstream, repeatedly, reciprocating, like reincarnation?" Xiao Yi stopped in the middle of the Nai He Bridge, holding the stone carving in his hand, and looked downstream.
Wang Xi was beside her and said, "You're tired." Usually you, where is so sentimental. Come, I'll carry you, obedient, this time we won't ride a giant panda. ”
A little smaller, he got up and jumped on the guardrail lightly, startling Wang Xi.
She spread her arms and staggered there.
"Be careful, I've been playing all night, and I'm still so lively." Wang Xi hurriedly followed her pace.
"There's no one to play with me, so I have to entertain myself." A small one.
Wang Xi thought about it for a while, and then understood what it meant, but pretended not to know, and said, "Am I not by your side?" ”
After saying that, turn your back.
Koichi obediently jumped onto his back.
Wang Xi stumbled, took two quick steps forward, took advantage of the buffer, and said, "It's still like a small tank." ”
"My butt or Senior Sister Yingying's ass, which one is easier to touch?" Xiao Yi asked softly in Wang Xi's ear.
Wang Xi was embarrassed, in the panic just now, he put his hand in a position where he shouldn't have been, and hurriedly readjusted his posture and said, "Who said everything to compare?" Let's go, you sleep for a while. I'll call you when we get to the inn, and someone will come and pick us up. ”
In fact, the Yin soldiers of the underworld have long been in the distance. It's just that they didn't come forward.
Wang Xi nodded at a centurion ghost general in the distance and walked silently.
He slowly sorted out some things twice in his mind.
To unlock the secrets of the Gate, you can't focus on the Gate itself.
As soon as he came to the underworld, his memories were naturally recalled.
Last time in the palace of King Chujiang, there were so many problems waiting to be solved, but after returning to the yang world, he was pushed away by countless things, so he had to leave them all behind.
Now that I think about it, I feel like I have a little bit of an idea.
The ghost general in front of him gave his hand and was about to speak, when Wang Xi gave him a look, and then tilted his head.
The ghost general was clever, did not speak, turned sideways, and made a gesture of please.
The undead war horse was very well-behaved and leaned down, but despite this, Wang Xi still couldn't get on the horse quietly and woke Xiao Yi up.
"It's coming soon, look, I didn't lie to you, it's really not a panda." He put Xiao Yi on his chest, and the two of them rode together, slowly riding towards the palace of King Chujiang.
Wang Xi can't ride a horse, so naturally he won't gallop wantonly.
Fortunately, the speed of this group of cavalry was very low, and the horses under them were almost just walking.
"Senior Wang, His Royal Highness King Chujiang is really good to you." The ghost general beside him said to Wang Xi with his spiritual sense.
King Chu Jiang would actually allow this group of cavalry to drag like this.
Wang Xi picked up the jade plate on his body, which was given to him by King Chujiang when he left the underworld last time, saying that he could pass the test with this.
"General, is there anything to say about this jade plaque?" After fighting side by side with the Yin soldiers a few times, he has already gone to the road, as long as he is a centurion, he can be called a "general", and he can't be wrong.
The ghost general took the jade plaque and said, "Those who hold this jade plaque can pass the customs even if the ghost gate is not opened." Of course, it can only be hung in and closed, and the ghost door will not be opened. Even the princes can only do this. ”
But when he turned the jade plate over and saw the word "Wang Xi" engraved on it, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately handed the jade card back to Wang Xi respectfully.
Seeing him like this, Wang Xi knew that there was a hidden secret, and was about to ask, but the other party said: "Senior Zhang, there seems to be a piece on him, can you show it to the juniors?" ”
Wang Xi held the reins with one hand, wrapped one hand around Xiao Yi's waist, and with a light touch, he found the jade plate and handed it to the ghost general.
Sure enough, on the back of the jade plate, the words "Zhang Xiaoyi" are still engraved.
In fact, after Xiaoyi got on the horse, he felt that his posture was uncomfortable and it was difficult to sleep, so he just squinted his eyes and rested there. was groped by Wang Xi on his soft waist for a while, and suddenly his body was a little soft, and he leaned back, and the head of the ball was on Wang Xi's chin, and a few scattered strands of hair were playfully teasing Wang Xi there.
"What are you touching me for!?" Xiao Yi elbowed Wang Xi.
That's right, Xiao Yi, who was in a daze, returned to his original temperament.
"It's easy to touch, so it's natural to touch." Wang Xi said hehehe.
The ghost general turned a deaf ear, handed the jade plate back, and said: "This matter, let's ask the seniors to ask His Highness, some of these rumors, the juniors have just heard it, and they don't dare to talk nonsense." ”
"Oh?" Wang Xi also turned over the jade plaque and looked at it, and continued, "So, what other uses does this jade plaque have?" ”
"Uh...... Generally, this jade plate is only limited to customs clearance, similar to the ancient literature of the yang world. But the name is engraved on the back...... Senior, did you see the word 'strong' on the front? ”
"See. That one...... Checkmate...... Just call me by name......" Wang Xi said.
"The name engraved on both sides of this can only show that there is a relationship between you and His Royal Highness King Chujiang. As for the function, with this jade card, as long as you encounter a Yin soldier belonging to the second hall, you can be recruited at will, and you can reach a hundred-person team at most without declaring. The rest, I don't know. "The ghost will say.
Wang Xi thanked him, and quickly put the jade card away for Xiao Yi again, scratching Xiao Yi and twisting his waist.
"Mr. Wang is polite...... "When the ghost general said this, four horsemen appeared in front of him, dusty all the way, galloping.
"General, all the daily necessities needed by the two distinguished guests have been transported to the royal palace, and they are requested to return to the team!"
The centurion nodded, motioning for them to join the group on their own.
Wang Xi reacted at this time, this time, I don't know how long I will stay in the underworld.
If you don't prepare some necessities for life, you will probably starve to death, right?
"The cavalryman just now...... There is a very sweet taste......" Xiao Yi suddenly turned his head sideways and said to Wang Xi.
Wang Xi said: "What do you mean by a very sweet taste? ”
"I can't describe it, but it smells good, and it makes people hungry when they smell it...... "Xiao Yi.
"I see you're hungry. Let's go, since you're awake, let's hurry up! Hold on! Wang Xi firmly grasped the reins, kicked the spur hard, hugged Xiao Yi tightly into his arms, and took this cavalry away......
Those who can't ride a horse can only do so on horseback...... Bumps up and down......
Because these daily necessities should not have any privacy, after being transported to the palace, King Chujiang's personal guards immediately opened the box and inspected it.
There was water, food, and some clothing.
A ghost general picked up two black bags and shook them, they were very light and soft, and they felt that there was almost nothing in them, and they were immediately alert.
The rest of the laundry is neatly stacked and put in it.
And this ...... It feels mysterious......
Just as he was about to tear the bag open, the female ghost general next to him suddenly reacted and said, "Wait! This bunch is Zhang Xiaoyi's? Who handed it over to you? ”
"Is there any problem with the fact that the permanent director of the Third Courtyard sent someone to hand it over to me before the ghost gate closed? Sister? ”
The female ghost general said: "Go on the one hand, go on the other, just leave it to me here." ”
The male ghost general glanced at her suspiciously, and said, "No, it's a matter of the prince's safety, I don't dare." Moreover, according to the rules, a second inspection is required, otherwise you open it, and we will look at it together. ”
The female ghost will put the black pocket in front of her face and say, "Quick, use your spiritual sense to investigate!" Immediately! Right away! ”
The male ghost general didn't know why she was suddenly so excited, but she still quickly swept it over according to her words, and said, "What kind of strange thing is this, it doesn't look like it's cold at all......"
"Women's underwear, do you want to take it apart?" Female ghosts will say.
When the male ghost heard this, he was slightly embarrassed, and changed the topic: "Sister, you know a lot...... But this ...... This box...... What is it? I've already probed it. Some of them are unstable, why don't you palm them? ”
The female ghost will look at the cardboard box on the table, about a foot and an inch in length and width, and the packaging looks a little beautiful.
"It's wax ......," she said, picking up a plastic bag next to the cardboard box and looking at the contents inside.
"Wax?" The male ghost will be surprised, this is absolutely contraband!
Hades lighting, only ghost fires are allowed. And the wax ...... But it can help ignite the yang fire!
How could such a thing appear in the palace!?
"What can you say to the person you handed over?" The female ghost general asked.
"Yes, I explained this thing in particular, so I put it on the table. Said this thing has to be handled with care. ”
Handle with care?
Flammable and explosive materials in the sun!?
So, the two ghost generals greeted each other, and as if they were facing a great enemy, they summoned the other two palace guards and carefully opened the cardboard box.
Suddenly...... A strange fragrance wafted through the hall.
The four ghost generals immediately covered their mouths and noses and stepped back three feet, looking very experienced.
"Yo, what are you doing here?" King Chu Jiang didn't know when he walked into the palace, and when he saw these ghost generals with guarded expressions, he asked out loud.
"Second prince, be careful, there is wax here! This thing smells bad! Several ghost generals quickly stopped in front of King Chu Jiang.
Since King Chu Jiang was behind him, he could naturally draw his sword.
"Oh?" King Chu Jiang tilted his head and looked at the box that had been opened.
It's a boxy object, colorful and dotted with some ...... Cherry? Strawberry? and some fruits that he wasn't too familiar with either......
"It's so showy, it must be poisonous!" The male ghost will say.
After saying that, he condensed a spiritual power barrier to protect him, and then stabbed forward lightly with the tip of his knife, easily piercing it.
Seeing that nothing had happened, he became a little bolder, took two steps forward, withdrew the knife, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, and finally stretched out his tongue and licked it.
"How?" The female ghost general asked.
"It's hard to say, when we were trained in poisons before, we didn't have this kind of smell."
The female ghost general said: "That's not to be careless, now the poisons in the yang world are endless." Their chemistry and biology are developing quite rapidly, and according to Director Qian Xinxin, there are already poisons that can directly harm spirits. ”
After speaking, she directly stretched out her finger, hooked on it, cut off a small piece, and looked at it seriously.
"Sister? Be careful. How is it? ”
"After the contact, there was nothing special about it." She also put her finger in her mouth and savored it carefully, as if she were solving a case.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, King Chu Jiang also walked over despite the obstacles, and it seemed that he was ready to take the risk.
Is this worth it? Several ghosts will immediately protect it and not allow it to come close.
At this moment, a chief outside the hall came to report that Wang Xi and Zhang Xiaoyi had arrived.
King Chu Jiang waved his hand and said, "Just right, let them take a look." Remember, when the two of them come in the future, they don't have to report it, and they can go directly to the temple. ”
When the two of them entered the hall, they didn't have time to say hello, so they were pulled by King Chu Jiang and said, "Quick, this is given to you by your uncle from your family." Let's see what it is. ”
Wang Xi looked at it, and the secret way was not good, this was the cake he had ordered a long time ago, but Uncle Chang remembered to go to the duty room to get it for himself.
Today is March 27th, the birthday of the first child.
This girl must have remembered, thinking that she had forgotten, so she behaved abnormally before.
I can't do more with this condition, I can only give her a small surprise.
Just when he was still in a daze, Xiao Yi rushed over, looked happy, turned his head and said to King Chu Jiang: "Your Highness, this is what my master sent?" ”
After speaking, he deliberately glared at Wang Xi again.
Meaning, now it's reacting, right?
Hmph, even my master remembers, but you forget!
Wang Xi hurriedly said: "No, no, I sent this." ”
The male ghost general said: "No, Wang Xi, the people below will be handed over." All of this was prepared by the permanent president of your hospital, and you were not mentioned. ”
Xiao Yi was even more proud, and said, "Guilty, right?" You know I'm sorry, right? Lied, right? Now you know what day it is, right? ”
Wang Xi sighed and said, "Hey...... I was going to surprise you...... Luckily, I'm prepared with both hands. ”
After speaking, he lifted the two black-wrapped bags and said, "Feel it?" ”
Xiao Yi released his spiritual sense, and then his little face turned red and said, "It's shameless...... So many people here ......"
Wang Xi reacted, the lord here, who wouldn't probe through spiritual sense? So he immediately put away his pockets and said, "Now you know that I haven't forgotten, right?" If you don't believe it, I'll know when you go back and ask your master. ”
"You...... How do you know...... I wear ...... Wear...... Many...... More ......"
Before she finished speaking, she also realized that it was inappropriate to ask this question here, so she hurriedly came to the cake, said "ah", and said, "Who got it!?" ”
As soon as Xiao Yi finished questioning, he thought that Wang Xi had always been by her side, and it was definitely not him, so he rolled his eyes and immediately found traces of the cake on the tip of the ghost general's knife.
At this time, King Chu Jiang and the others still hadn't figured out what kind of object it was, but listening to their conversation, they probably knew what kind of thing it was.
The female ghost was a little more delicate, and quietly asked, "Your Highness, could it be Miss Zhang's birthday?" ”
King Chu Jiang glanced at the top of Xiao Yi's head, shook his head and said, "No, the birthday is not right." ”
The female ghost will whisper again: "Gregorian ......"
King Chu Jiang calculated and said, "Ah! It's really true! That's a surprise! There are still living people in my palace to celebrate their birthday!? ”
This point is clear, and everyone suddenly understands.
Xiao Yi looked at this somewhat unshaped cake, understood what was going on, and was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, eat together, eat together, it's a pity that it's not very big." Eat less, and give some to the brothers outside. ”
Wang Xi looked at her strangely.
What is this called?
Let everyone eat less?
Several ghost generals waved their hands again and again, if it was really this kind of birthday celebration banquet, they were not qualified to sit with the prince.
Just when everyone was still modest, Xiao Yi directly shot out a fire, lit the candle, and then inserted it on the cake.
This action startled several ghost generals again, and some did not dare to approach, and looked at King Chu Jiang one after another.
King Chu Jiang was quite helpless, this Zhang Xiaoyi really didn't think too much about it......
Knowing that she was unintentional, King Chu Jiang didn't mind, and then watched Xiao Yi clasp his hands together, close his eyes tightly, and make a wish.
"Borrow a knife!" Xiao Yi said to the male ghost.
The latter glanced at King Chu Jiang and handed over the knife.
Xiao Yi was about to cut the cake, and suddenly said, "I almost forgot, I didn't sing the birthday song." They won't, you sing! Happy birthday to me! ”
The long knife pointed at Wang Xi.
Wang Xi still remembered her birthday, she was happy, and she was angry.
Thereupon...... As if he had been threatened with a knife, Wang Xi had no choice but to start singing......
Thereupon...... In the palace of King Chujiang, there was a singing voice like a ghost crying and howling......
……
……
King Chu Jiang held a paper plate with only a small piece of cake on it, stood outside the palace with Wang Xi, overlooking this gloomy land, and asked, "Don't be too stressed." Zhang Xiaoyi's father, Dean Zhang Ji, had already stopped what he was doing and led hundreds of witches and witch worshippers to prepare to come to support. This time, as long as we want, we can also open hundreds of realm gates in an instant. ”
Wang Xi nodded and said, "Your Highness, I want to be sure of one thing. It doesn't take much time, which is important. ”
"What's the matter? I'll do it right away. ”
"Don't bother. I think, at this moment, the black fog must have eroded a lot of distance into the hinterland, right? ”
