Mystery of the Ancient Case (9)

Previous Chapter

After Gao Qi told Yin Xiaofei that he had learned all the ways, Yin Xiaofei admired the person in front of him even more, and he was very happy in his heart, because on the road of sword cultivation and qi training, he actually met a fellow practitioner by such a coincidence.

The same is the experience of going out of the mountain, and the same is the successor to the head of the family in the future, it can be said that the fate is the same, the words are the same, and both of them have the feelings of heroes and heroes in their hearts.

Gao Qi put the two guns in his arms and said to Yin Xiaofei: "Brother, don't look at me with that kind of worshipful look, it was not my original intention to embark on this road. I used to live in my world of flowers, but I accidentally came to this strange Xuangu world, and I was also very aggrieved in my heart. But people always have to live, I originally planned to do some business, and become a rich and rich man in the future, and then marry her ten aunts, and have a group of wives and concubines, and it will not be in vain to get away with the world. But creation made people go, and it still made me enter the way of the sword. ”

Gao Qi slowly stood up, wiped the short beard of his chin, closed his eyes slightly, pretended to be profound, and said in a low voice: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through it." I don't see the tomb of Wuling Haojie, and there are no flowers and no wine hoes to make fields. Then he opened his eyes, stepped on the stone bench, raised his head slightly, and looked at the blue sky.

Yin Xiaofei has also read some poetry collections and articles in the Guangliu Sword School, and listened to Gao Qi's poem in his mouth is very extraordinary, so he can't help but praise: "Brother Gao is good poetry, good sentiment!" ”

Gao Qi glanced at Yin Xiaofei, and was amused in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm, revealing a master's appearance.

In fact, where does he have any good sentiments, that is, he suddenly broke out in the essence of showing off and acting, and spit out this poem he learned from comedy movies.

While talking, the two heard hurried footsteps, it was He Shanyue who had gone out to buy medicine.

I saw He Shanyue holding a few oiled paper bags in his hands, and a delicate long box under his armpit, walked up to Yin Xiaofei with an anxious and frustrated face, put those things on the stone table, and sighed: "Hey, Yin Shaoxia, I have bought all the ginseng for this hundred years, but there are three flavor medicines, not to mention that Ci Shitang does not have them, that guy said that he has been engaged in the medicinal material business for twenty years, and he has never even heard of these three flavor medicines." ”

He Shanyue said as he took out the prescription, and pointed to the names of the three medicines to Yin Xiaofei, as if he suspected that Yin Xiaofei had written the wrong names of the prescriptions.

Yin Xiaofei didn't look at the prescription in He Shanyue's hand, it was the prescription he prescribed himself, and he didn't need to look at it anymore.

Yin Xiaofei said: "Curator He, that Ghost Wing, Hades Grass and Jiao Yan Ash are not ordinary medicines, and it is impossible for ordinary pharmacy guys to know such medicinal materials. You should store the medicine you have already purchased, and don't get damp and lazy about the medicine. As for these three flavor medicines, I will go to find them, you can rest assured. ”

He Shanyue was greatly relieved when he heard this, and a look of shame appeared on his face. The young man in front of him solves problems for himself regardless of remuneration, and he still has some doubts, which is indeed very undeserved. So he said: "Shaoxia, if you go out to look for medicine, I will take care of the horses that you need to travel, and I will immediately prepare these things for you, and you can use them as you go." ”

Yin Xiaofei said that he was tired, and He Shanyue said with a smile: "It should be, it should be." That Gao Qi pretended to cough twice on the side, He Shanyue glanced at Gao Qi, and then turned his face to Yin Xiaofei and said, "Yin Shaoxia, then I'll go and prepare." After speaking, he picked up the medicinal herbs on the stone table and entered the back room.

When He Shanyue left, Yin Xiaofei let out a long sigh and sat down on the stone bench again.

Gao Qi knew that Yin Xiaofei had something on his mind, so he leaned in and asked in a low voice, "Brother, why are you sighing?" ”

Yin Xiaofei looked at Gao Qi and said, "Brother Gao doesn't know, the three flavors of the Ghost Wings, Hades Grass and Jiao Yan Gray, in fact, I don't know where to look for them. It seems that I have to go back to Guangliu and ask Lao Wu. ”

Gao Qi knew in his heart that the old Wu Ding in Yin Xiaofei's mouth was a capable person, so he didn't ask much, and said: "Brother, since I have already taken over this matter of the He family, as long as it is related to this matter, it will be counted as my share." This matter of finding medicine, Qi Ye, I will help you. ”

Yin Xiaofei was happy in his heart, and he knew that this Gao Qi had a warm heart and chivalrous heart, otherwise he would not have come to the door last night to exorcise ghosts. But Yin Xiaofei wondered when this Gao Qi agreed to help the He family? When I left yesterday, I was still persuading myself not to get involved in this kind of thing, why is there such a big change now. So he said, "That's for the best." But isn't Brother Gao afraid of this trouble? ”

Gao Qi stood up straight, shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and said, "Originally, I was troublesome, but I saw that you are a layman who is quite enthusiastic about this matter." And recently, I was planning to make a career, and the He family could be regarded as practicing first. Didn't I accept a tael of silver from He Shanyue yesterday, that is the commission for solving this matter. But to be honest, I regret it, I should have done more. This matter of his family is not simple. ”

Yin Xiaofei frowned and asked, "What's not simple, please make it clear to Senior Brother?" ”

Gao Qi said: "This place in the mortal world has become a place of yin for no reason, and there are seventeen ghosts blocking the door, and the wind is miserable during the day, and there are too many strange ones, and I can't tell you clearly for a while." I will leave the matter of curing the sick and saving people to you, and the matter of refuting ghosts and removing souls will be left to me. Both of us are new to the rivers and lakes, and we can only cross the river by touching the stones, and one step at a time. ”

Yin Xiaofei said in agreement: "What Brother Gao said is extremely true. ”

Gao Qi waved his hand and said, "Brother, don't be a tall brother in the future, it sounds weird, you just call me Qi...... Qi Ye, I listen to it comfortably. I'm more than ten years older than you, so it's not too much to call you Xiaofei. ”

Yin Xiaofei smiled and arched his hand: "As long as Qi Ye likes it, you can call it whatever you want." ”

Gao Qi raised his eyebrows and grinned.

The two of them chatted a few more words, and then they heard a voice from outside the main hall: "Is there anyone?" Is Master He here? ”

Yin Xiaofei and Gao Qi glanced at each other and walked towards the main hall. At this time, He Shanyue also heard the shout, and while responding, he hurriedly ran towards the main hall.

Yin Xiaofei saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe with money prints standing in the main hall. When he saw He Shanyue, he said: "Pavilion Master He, today I heard that I came to the Medicine Hall to open a few pairs of high-grade herbs, and I know that most of those medicines are used to prolong life and blood, so I am worried about Ling Lang's condition, so I came to visit." ”

The person who spoke turned out to be the shopkeeper Liu of 'Cishitang', he has always been good friends with He Shanyue and He Mingxian, and since He Mingxian was seriously ill, the He family didn't know how much silver they spent on medicine in Cishitang. It is reasonable to be reasonable, Shopkeeper Liu is always concerned about He Mingxian's illness. Today, I learned that He Shanyue had purchased precious medicinal materials worth thousands of silver taels, so he hurried to the martial arts hall, and he suspected that the young master of the He family was seriously ill.

He Shanyue arched his hand and said: "Thank you Shopkeeper Liu for thinking about the dog." Although the dog's condition has not improved, it will not be in danger of life for a while. I bought a lot of money to buy medicine today, just because this Yin Shaoxia prescribed a prescription, saying that it could bring the dog back to life. Shopkeeper Liu's feelings of concern, He is grateful. He Shanyue pointed his finger at Yin Xiaofei, indicating that he was the Yin Shaoxia he was talking about.

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he looked at the white-haired young man, and looked at him with some suspicion. Yin Xiaofei nodded slowly and smiled slightly. Gao Qi saw the suspicious look of the shopkeeper Liu, and crooked his mouth disdainfully.

Shopkeeper Liu turned his head to He Shanyue and said, "Can you give that prescription to the next one?"

He Shanyue looked at Yin Xiaofei after hearing this, and Yin Xiaofei still smiled slightly. So He Shanyue took out the prescription from his arms, handed it to Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Please take a look at Shopkeeper Liu." ”

The shopkeeper Liu took the prescription, just glanced at it, and his face turned a little pale. His mouth was still slightly open and closed, apparently memorizing the prescription.

Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly returned the prescription to He Shanyue with both hands, turned to face Yin Xiaofei, straightened his clothes, and said respectfully: "Shaoxia's prescription order is an eye-opener, this pair of soul tonifying powder can be described as a fairy medicine prescription, I don't know where Shaoxia is taught?" ”

Yin Xiaofei said: "This prescription was taught to me by a close friend of mine. ”

Shopkeeper Liu continued: "Shaoxia, can you recommend you to meet this strange friend in Xia, and sincerely seek advice in Xia, the sky can be clear." ”

Yin Xiaofei smiled slightly: "My friend has a very strange temper, I keep you in my heart, and when I meet him again, I will definitely mention this matter to him." ”

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he smiled all over his face, and hurriedly thanked Yin Xiaofei.

Yin Xiaofei returned the salute while thinking: This shopkeeper Liu glanced at the prescription and knew that Lao Wu had a lot of ability, it seems that he has heard of this prescription, but he doesn't know the specific configuration, maybe he knows the place where the three flavors of medicine are picked, and it doesn't hurt to ask.

So after the ceremony, Yin Xiaofei opened his mouth and asked: "Shopkeeper Liu, since you know the effect of this soul replenishment, do you know the place where this ghost wing, Hades grass and scorched ash are picked?" ”

Shopkeeper Liu also said simply: "I know below." ”

Saying this, the eyes of the three of them completely focused on the unattractive shopkeeper Liu, and said in unison: "Come and listen." ”

Seeing that the three of them were in such a hurry, Shopkeeper Liu knew that they must not have obtained these three flavor medicines, and they did not sell them, so he hurriedly said: "When I was young, I studied medicine with a hermit, and I saw the origin of these three flavor medicines from the medical books he recorded. The ghost cricket wings need to be obtained from the ghost cricket demon king. The underworld grass is recorded in the medical book to grow outside the palace of Hades. As for the scorched ash, it is the demon dust that the old demon who has practiced for thousands of years turned into after his death. Because the records of these three drugs are quite mysterious, I remember them very clearly. ”

As soon as the three of them heard it, you looked at me, I looked at you, although I felt very unreliable, but this miracle medicine generally grows in the unreliable realm, so it is reasonable to think about it.

said goodbye to Shopkeeper Liu, and the three of them gathered together.

Gao Qi said that he knew how to go to the Hades Palace, and when he heard He Shanyue's eyes widen, he would doubt that there was really a Hades Palace in this world? Yin Xiaofei was not surprised, and immediately decided to seek the Hades grass first. The medicine was urgent, and without further ado, Yin Xiaofei decided to set off at noon that day, and the three of them agreed.

After that, He Shanyue invited the two of them to go to the 'Zhilan Drunken Township Building' for lunch, which was also a delicacies from the mountains and seas, with all kinds of delicacies, and the two of them were satisfied, so unhappy.

After using good food and wine, He Shanyue personally led two horses and gave Yin Xiaofei 300 taels of silver tickets to use as entanglement. Yin Xiaofei didn't shirk it, took the horse, and handed over the silver ticket to Gao Qi. Gao Qi raised his eyebrows and grinned, thanked He Shanyue, and said that he would be able to come back in three days, and the extra silver taels would be used as a toll to the Hades Palace. He Shanyue was dumbfounded, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

Bidding farewell to He Shanyue, under the leadership of Gao Qi, the two rode all the way to the north, although the scenery along the way was picturesque, but Yin Xiaofei had no time to watch, he kept thinking in his mind, this Gao Qi said that he knew the way to the Hades Palace, and he didn't know if it was true or false? Does this 'ghost path' really have the ability to enter the ghost realm through the sky?

Yin Xiaofei wanted to ask what was going on, but Gao Qi rode his horse and galloped wildly, without even looking back, let alone talking and exchanging.

The two rode their horses, without saying a word all the way, and ran north for hundreds of miles in one breath.

At this time, Yin Xiaofei felt that the horse began to pant on the horse's back, knowing that although the horse was a horse, it was also a little exhausted to run like this all the way, so he shouted loudly to Gao Qi in front: "Master Qi, the horse is a little tired, we might as well rest for a while." ”

Gao Qi didn't mean to stop, turned around and shouted: "No, we have to rush to the front post station before dark, only let the horses suffer a little first, and give them more forage and water when they get to the post station." After saying that, he turned his head and continued to gallop on his horse.

Yin Xiaofei knew that Gao Qi must have a reason for doing this, but his compassion for the horse could not fade. So he used the pure yang sword qi to make the body slightly suspended on the saddle, although it could only last for half a cup of tea at a time, but it could also reduce a lot of burden on the horse under the crotch.

After galloping for another hundred miles, Gao Qi's horse gradually couldn't bear it, and he couldn't run enough, but Yin Xiaofei's horse was still able to run quickly, and his fatigue was not too revealed.

This Gao Qi muttered, and said in his heart that He Shanyue is really eccentric, what he gave to Yin Xiaofei was a thousand miles of good horses, but what he gave himself was an ordinary horse.

Gao Qi knew the way, and before entering the post station, he had already led the horse on foot, it seemed that he still had some compassion, and he didn't want his horse to be tired and paralyzed.

Yin Xiaofei also dismounted and walked side by side with Gao Qi, this Gao Qi was a straight intestine, so he said: "Xiaofei, then Director He can treat you as a young hero, but if you underestimate me, it is estimated that I am a ruffian who cheats and cheats." You see, you were given a thousand miles of horses, but mine was an ordinary horse. ”

Yin Xiaofei touched the horse he was holding and said, "Master Qi is too careful, or you will ride my horse later." ”

When Gao Qi heard this, he patted Yin Xiaofei's shoulder and said: "Good brother, enough friends, but brother, I will not take the good of others, and it doesn't matter if you have good horses and horses, because we won't need horses anymore." It's not early, let's go! ”

Fortunately, they didn't have to go two miles before they came to the inn.

It's just that this post station made Yin Xiaofei uncomfortable. The inn was not on the side of the avenue, but at the end of a fork in the road. The post station is very small, and there is a wooden sign standing next to a grass hut with a huge word '驿' written on it in white lacquer. And this grass shed stands there alone, looking gloomy, and it is estimated that no one will want to go inside to sit down and rest.

The two of them tied their horses to the trunk of a dead tree by the side of the road, and under the trunk there was a large trough with plenty of water, and the two horses were already drinking from it. Gao Qi took out a large pile of grass from behind the grass shed and threw it under the trunk, then patted the grass clippings on his body, pointed to the grass shed and said: "These are enough for them to eat for two days, let's go in, if it is over the unitary time, then the Yin and Yang Road will not pass." ”

Yin Xiaofei looked at Gao Qi with some puzzlement, and looked at the grass shed in confusion, and saw that the grass shed was ventilated on all sides, so he asked, "I don't know where Master Qi is going to go?" What is the Yin-Yang Road? ”

Gao Qi made a strange look with high and low eyebrows and said: "Of course I went to the ghost world, as for the yin and yang road, it is a big Gobi." After speaking, he didn't explain much, and took out a yellow rune paper from his arms, asked Yin Xiaofei to turn around and stick it on his back, and said: "This is a 'ghost charm', which can work for an hour without being seen by ghosts, and will enter the ghost world later to avoid being seen by ghosts. ”

Yin Xiaofei's heart fluttered when he heard this, it seemed that he was really going to the underworld this time.

Gao Qi walked to the grass shed, took out the three-headed pen again, and then drew a spell out of thin air on a yellow talisman, pretending, squeezing his eyebrows, and chanting words in his mouth.

I saw that the spell turned into a blue flame in an instant, and Gao Qi threw the blue flame into the grass hut. With a bang, a dim glowing hole cracked in the center of the hut.

Gao Qi turned his head to Yin Xiaofei and said, "After you go in, you have to follow me all the time, don't talk, don't sit, let's go!" ”

After Gao Qi finished speaking, he turned his head and jumped into the dim light. Yin Xiaofei pinched the saber in his hand hard, gritted his teeth, and jumped in.

The eyes sparked, and then it was clear and bright. It's just that the things in front of him are not as terrifying as Yin Xiaofei thought, but a relatively spacious room, except for Gao Qi and himself, there is no one else in the room, there are eight square tables in the room, and a delicate bronze oil lamp is placed in the center of each table, but the oil lamps on three of the tables are lit.

"Xiaoqi was offended a lot last night, and I came here to apologize this time, and I ask you to forgive me, don't be with the general knowledge. I don't know if you can receive the 10,000 taels of money that you have just given me below? Gao Qi smiled all over his face and said to the three lighted tables.

Yin Xiaofei's face was calm and unmoved, seeing that the three lamps suddenly swayed a little, obviously there was some movement next to the table.

Gao Qi laughed and said: "Oh, you ghosts send big brother to say something extraordinary, and in the future, the little brother will have to rely on you to cultivate more, cultivate more!" Although Yin Xiaofei could only hear Gao Qi talking to himself, he also heard the doorway, just now he was still called by an adult, but now he has become a big brother and a little brother, it seems that the ten thousand taels of money have played a role.

The oil lamps shook slightly, but at this time, Gao Qi's face became a little serious, and he was still responding with a hmm-huh, obviously someone was telling him something more serious.

After a while, Gao Qi said, "Thank you for reminding the eldest brother, and the younger brother will remember it." The younger brother still has important things to do, so he won't bother and say goodbye. With that, he walked out of the door, bypassing the three lighted tables. Yin Xiaofei followed.

Walking out the door, Yin Xiaofei was shocked. It turned out that outside the door was a boundless dusk Gobi, and a large post house behind him was lonely next to the Gobi Avenue, showing the depression, and the Gobi Avenue should be the so-called Yin and Yang Road.

"Let's go!" Gao Qi whispered, and walked quickly along the Yin Yang Road.

The two walked out of half a mile, Gao Qi looked around for a while, and then spoke: "There was a ghost post just now, I didn't expect that there were eleven ghosts who were resting there, but fortunately, they were the ones who came to the martial arts hall last night to block the door." This money can make the devil grind, and I had a fight with them last night, and today I will become a brother after receiving the money. Honestly, this ghost is easier to deal with than a human. ”

Yin Xiaofei remembered Gao Qi's instructions not to speak or sit down, so he just nodded.

Gao Qi saw that Yin Xiaofei was very obedient, and said with a smile: "You are also a little too cautious, but this is a good thing, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." By the way, the ghost cha also told me one thing just now, which is the reason why the Champion Martial Arts Pavilion has become a place of accumulation. ”

Yin Xiaofei frowned and said that he was listening.

Gao Qi said: "A year ago, an invisible sword formation appeared in the Champion Martial Arts Pavilion for no reason, and the sword array wrapped the entire martial arts hall, making it impossible for the ghost to enter the sword formation to arrest He Mingxian, who had reached the end of his life. Originally, this was a violation of the rules of the ghost world, but the sword array allowed some lonely souls and wild ghosts who were dying in vain to enter the sword array to live in peace, disturbing the peace of the world, which was even more wrong. But fortunately, the people who were put in were some old, weak, sick and disabled lonely ghosts, so there was no trouble. But even so, it is also against the destiny of heaven, I am afraid that if this matter drags on any longer, I will stab out the big Louzi. At that time, he was angry with the king of Hades, and asked Niu Tou Ma Mian to come to the door to get people in person, and it was estimated that the sword array would not be able to resist it. ”

When Yin Xiaofei heard this, he understood why he could see the white light in the courtyard at night, it turned out that it was all the light emitted by the invisible sword array, but where the sword array came from, he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Yin Xiaofei was thinking about it, Gao Qi suddenly said: "Take another step forward, but it's the ghost world, you have to be mentally prepared, the scene inside is a little terrifying and scary." ”

Yin Xiaofei nodded, steadied his mind, but the hand holding the sword held the Yu Huang sword tighter, and even the palm of his hand was a little white.

Sure enough, just one step was taken, and the whole scene of heaven and earth was completely turned upside down, just now it was still a dusk, boundless Gobi, now it is purple clouds all over the sky, strange rocks are craggy, and a purple black is gloomy.

The two of them passed the huge mountain rock engraved with the word 'ghost world' and walked along the flat hard soil avenue.

There are some broken statues on both sides of the avenue from time to time, those statues are hideous-looking, bloody, and I don't know what kind of evil ghosts and evil gods they are, but they don't look as scary as Gao Qi said.

The two walked very fast, and along the way, Yin Xiaofei always felt cold around him. Gao Qi whispered beside him: "This place is called 'Love Country Road', and the name is poetic, but the people who walk on the road ...... Oh no, it's a ghost, that's a miserable one. Those who don't want to die, who cry incessantly, those who have committed great sins in front of them, when they get to this road, they will first be beaten by ghosts. Punching, kicking, whipping, whipping, that is considered light, slashing axes, splitting meteor hammers, swords picking spears and poking maces, that beating is skin and flesh, miserable. But no matter how much you fight, it's just endless pain, and you just can't pass out and die. If you think about it, they all say that they will suffer from sin, and I don't think there is anything to live in this death. ”

Yin Xiaofei felt a chill down his spine when he heard this, glad that he couldn't see this miserable scene, and pushed Gao Qi with his hand, signaling him to stop talking.

So the two of them even quickened their pace, and Gao Qi also had to laugh a few times strangely along the way, seemingly greeting the familiar ghosts. Yin Xiaofei thought to himself, this Gao Qi was obviously a frequent visitor to the ghost world. He is not good-looking, but he freely travels between the two worlds of people and ghosts, which is indeed admirable.

In his thoughts, Yin Xiaofei looked up and saw a stone bridge in front of him, and there was a red light under the stone bridge.

Looking further, behind the stone bridge is a long and towering city wall, there is a huge city gate in the center of the city wall, Yin Xiaofei can see a huge stone plaque on the city gate with extraordinary eyesight, and the stone plaque is engraved with three big characters: the city of death.

The heavens and the earth were purple and black, but a dazzling blood light flashed from a red river.

When Yin Xiaofei stepped on the stone bridge, he knew that this was not a Nahe bridge. Glancing under the bridge, under the cliff was a long red river, which flowed with surging blood and merged into the sea of blood in the distance.

Yin Xiaofei and Gao Qi walked quickly across the stone bridge and walked towards the 'Death City'.

Gao Qi walked in front and said nothing all the way. Yin Xiaofei also obeyed Gao Qi's instructions and never spoke.

Walking to the city gate, Gao Qi took out a wooden plaque from his arms, and the wooden plaque was engraved with the word 'volt'. He shook the wooden sign from side to side under the gate, then nodded slightly, and walked briskly in.

Entering the city gate, Yin Xiaofei found that the scene in the city was completely different from the real world, all the houses were twisted and irregular, and even the road was crooked, as if it would collapse at any time. There was a gloomy and cold aura in the whole ancient city, except that there would be some white lanterns on the sides of the twisted houses and roads, but those lanterns were standard circles, showing a sharp contrast with the distortions around them.

Although the scene of the ghost world made Yin Xiaofei a little dumbfounded, his pace did not slow down, because Gao Qi was almost trotting forward at this time, and he did not take the avenue, but chose some secluded alleys. Yin Xiaofei knew that Gao Qi was worried that the 'ghost mask' behind him was about to fail, so he sped up.

When Gao Qi walked to a corner, he suddenly stopped, and said softly to Yin Xiaofei: "Walk another mile to the Hades Palace, there are many ghosts with strong sword qi around you, you must restrain your mind, see which ones are 'Hades Grass', pick them and leave, you know?" Now there is less than half an hour left for the effect of the 'Ghost Concealment Talisman', and after using this thing once, it can only be used a second time after thirty-six hours. If you're seen by a ghost, we're in big trouble. ”

Yin Xiaofei looked at Gao Qi's eyes and nodded.

Gao Qi also nodded, turned around and walked forward quickly.

A moment later, Gao Qi took Yin Xiaofei out of the alley, and there was an open square in front of him, and a huge palace was behind that square.

The palace was also very different from the scene around it, it was not distorted, the walls of the temple were straight and towering, and it was not that dark purple-black, but a faint red light, like blood, but more vivid red than blood.

Gao Qi stood beside Yin Xiaofei and didn't speak, just patted his arm lightly with his hand. Yin Xiaofei knew that the magnificent palace in front of him was the Hades Palace, so he also looked ahead and nodded slightly.

Gao Qi took Yin Xiaofei and walked around the edge of the square towards the Hades Palace. This Hades Hall is really large enough, and the palace in the present world may not be half the size of the Hades Palace. But because of this leniency, it was easier for Gao Qi and Yin Xiaofei to avoid those patrolling ghosts. And in the ghost world, who can have the idea of fighting the Hades Palace? So those ghosts are also routine, and they are not as heavily guarded as they imagined.

Gao Qi seemed to be very familiar with the entire 'Afterlife City', and under his leadership, Yin Xiaofei quickly circled to the back of the Hades Palace.

The back of this Hades Hall is actually on the verge of a sea of blood, and the blood light from the sea of blood under the cliff makes the already bright red high wall even more red and weird.

Yin Xiaofei was shocked by the boundless sea of blood, but he didn't expect that he hadn't seen the Xuangu Sea, but he saw the sea of blood in the ghost world first.

The shock in Yin Xiaofei's heart was also instantaneous, and the most important thing at this time was to quickly find the 'Hades Grass'.

He gathered his mind, stabilized his breath, and began to search for the 'Hades Grass' along the wall of the Hades Palace.

But on this bare red rock, let alone 'Hades grass', there is not even a single weed and wildflower to be seen.

In fact, Yin Xiaofei found out when he entered the ghost world. Along the way, it seems that I haven't even seen any plants and flowers. Could it be that the 'Hades Grass' that Shopkeeper Liu said is in the wrong growth position? Is it pointless to risk death to enter the ghost world?

"Hey, I said would herbs grow in this kind of place?" Even Gao Qi was skeptical.

Yin Xiaofei didn't speak, looking at the red bluestone ground, he also hesitated a little in his heart. But he didn't give up and continued to look forward. Gao Qi followed, looking left and right, vigilant against the ghost's patrol.

Suddenly, Yin Xiaofei chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly squatted down to check.

It turned out that in the corner of the wall, there were some cracks on a bluestone floor for no reason, and the floor was also obviously protruding, while the bluestone floors around it were all intact.

Yin Xiaofei understands that what can make the floor form this kind of damage must be some swelling under the floor. What is it that makes the floor swell?

Yin Xiaofei's heart lit up, the broken sword on his waist was already unsheathed, and the silver light was also bright.

"What are you doing?" As soon as Gao Qi said a word, he heard a 'poof'. It turned out that the broken sword had been inserted into the broken bluestone floor.

This sword mark Xiao Fei gathered on the broken que with pure yang sword qi, changing the sharpness of the sword qi into heavy bluntness, and the broken que was like an iron hammer, smashing the already broken floor even more cracked and scattered.

Yin Xiaofei drew his sword and got up, and was about to hammer it down again, when he suddenly heard a creaking sound on the floor, and Yin Xiaofei felt a powerful aura surging under the floor, getting stronger and more crazy.

"Spread out!" Yin Xiaofei felt that danger was coming, and he had forgotten his agreement with Gao Qi, shouted, and jumped to the side.

Gao Qi also felt a dangerous aura, and after hearing Yin Xiaofei shouting, he flew back while taking out two guns from his arms with both hands and waiting for him.

Before the two of them jumped out of half a foot, they only heard a 'boom', and the bluestone floor was broken by a huge force, and sand and stones splashed everywhere.

The two looked at the scene in front of them and were extremely surprised.

A huge dark green grass surged out of the ground, a foot high, trembling without wind and accompanied by a strange scream.

"Hades?" Both shouted at the same time, full of doubt, horror, and surprise.

Yin Xiaofei's reaction was also very fast, Yu Huang's sword was already out of the sheath in his hand, and the scabbard flew straight towards the strange grass like a bolt of lightning.

'Poof'! The strange grass is very spiritual, and the strange power is not small. A long leaf was thrown out, and the flying scabbard was immediately knocked to the ground. It's just that the strange grass didn't expect that at this moment, Yin Xiaofei's figure had already approached, and the cold light of the two swords flickered.

"Dangdang"! After two crisp sounds, Yin Xiaofei's face sank, and he flew back with his strength. It turned out that Yin Xiaofei's double swords struck the dark green long leaves, as if they were slashed on a hard steel knife, and the blades were not damaged at all.

The strange grass was provoked into a rage, and under the trembling sound of the swishing leaves, two long leaves swished out, hitting Yin Xiaofei's chest.

Two blue rays of light shot out, hitting the two weird long leaves impartially. The body of the leaf trembled and curled, and it was quickly retracted, and a little green liquid was oozing from the long leaf.

"Xiao Fei, stand behind me, I'll deal with this strange grass." Gao Qi held his guns on his chest, aimed at the strange grass, and looked serious, completely devoid of his usual hanging.

Yin Xiaofei saw it clearly, the blue sword rays shot from Gao Qi's twin guns just now were indeed lethal to that strange grass. So he kicked the ground and jumped three feet away.

Gao Qi took a broken step, stabilized the body of the gun, and suddenly with a soft shout, countless blue sword rays shot out from the muzzle of the gun, like heavy rain, and hit the strange grass.

The blue glow shimmers, and the green liquor flies sideways. The strange grass had nothing to hide under Gao Qi's 'Fu Ghost Sword Technique', and the long leaves were all shattered, and finally collapsed to the ground with a snap, trembling from time to time.

Gao Qi gasped, bent over and said with difficulty: "Mom, this set of ten thousand arrows has to eat ten eggs to make up for it." ”

As he spoke, the strange grass heard the sound of Suosuo. It turned out that after the strange grass was severely injured by Gao Qi, it slowly fled to the ground.

Yin Xiaofei stared and found that there was a burst of green shimmer in the center of the strange grass, and the glimmer was clearly emitted by a clump of tender grass.

"Is that the real Hades?" Yin Xiaofei only thought for a moment, and then stepped forward with his sword. Because he didn't have any more time to think about it, the huge strange grass was about to dive completely underground.

Yin Xiaofei jumped and rushed straight to the center of the strange grass, which fought with all his strength, opened those damaged long leaves, and instantly engulfed and devoured Yin Xiaofei.

"Ah, Xiaofei!" This sudden situation startled Gao Qi. Hurriedly swung his gun again, but those blue swords could only hit the broken ground. Because the strange grass wrapped in Yin Xiaofei has completely sunk into the ground.

Gao Qi puffed out a pair of big eyes and strode up, but before he took two steps, he only heard a bang, and a golden green light rushed straight into the sky, and a person jumped out of the golden and green light, it was Yin Xiaofei. And behind him, there was a strange grass and long leaves that were completely paralyzed.

Gao Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stared at Yin Xiaofei and said, "Damn, don't you want to die?" ”

Yin Xiaofei smiled slightly, spread out his left hand and said, "Look! ”

Gao Qi looked down and saw that a cluster of tender green grass more than an inch long emitted the green light of life in Yin Xiaofei's palm.

"Hades?" Gao Qi shrugged his brows and looked at Yin Xiaofei's eyes and asked happily.

Yin Xiaofei pursed his lips and smiled: "Hmm! After saying that, he put the underworld grass into his personal pocket, turned around and walked to the strange grass, picked up the scabbard on the ground, and then pulled out a long and a short sword from the strange grass, and returned the sword into the sheath.

Gao Qi saw it clearly, and the 'ghost concealment talisman' behind Yin Xiaofei slowly turned into yellow dust and dissipated.

"Suffered!" Gao Qi said this sentence because he was worried that the 'ghost charm' would fail. But worse things followed.

"Where did the little ghost come from, he rushed to the Hades Palace to spread wild, and he was captured before he could tie his hands." The voice, mixed with the thick monstrous tones and the man's voice, sounded terrifying.

Yin Xiaofei also heard this voice strangely at this time, but he didn't see the person who spoke...... Or ghosts.

Of course, Gao Qi was extremely familiar with this voice, and he had already clearly seen the monster rushing towards it in the distance. It was the Yin handsome, bull-headed under the throne of Hades, and there were more than a dozen powerful ghosts beside him, with amazing sword qi.

"Damn, it's going to die! Fly, run. Gao Qi shouted, inserted the two guns into his arms, and ran in the opposite direction with a light body lifting technique. Yin Xiaofei knew that the situation was not good, and he followed closely, and there were bursts of shouts and shouts behind him, but there was no one in sight.

It's just that there are more than a dozen ghosts in the opposite direction, there are really wolves in front and tigers in the back, it seems that the two of them are difficult to fly today.

Gao Qi knew that bringing mortals into the ghost realm without permission would be punished by soul removal, and the pain of soul removals was not something ordinary people could bear. So I also have some hair in my heart, I don't know what to do?

"Master Qi, I heard that there is also a ghost in front of me? It seems that we have only escaped from the sea of blood! Yin Xiaofei called behind him.

There are pursuers in the back, there are blockades in front, there are difficult walls to climb on the left, and there is an endless sea of blood on the right. It seems that all that can be done is the sea of blood.

Gao Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, jump into the sea!" ”

After saying that, the two turned around and ran towards the edge of the cliff. The two of them also fought hard, and without hesitation, they jumped and screamed and fell into the blood-red sea.

The bull head and a group of ghosts chased to the edge of the cliff, looked at the rolling blood-colored sea under the cliff, where was there still the shadow of Yin Xiaofei and Gao Qi, and could only sigh.

In other words, did Yin Xiaofei and Gao Qi escape after falling into the sea?

In fact, the two of them didn't fall into the sea of blood at all. For the moment they had just jumped off the cliff, a distorted wave of light sucked them in, and when they regained their senses, they found themselves outside the grass hut.

Yin Xiaofei rubbed his eyes, and in the dark night, he vaguely saw a person lying in the grass shed, a huge gourd was placed aside, and there was a strong smell of wine in the air.

"Master, when did your old man come down the mountain?" Gao Qi turned over, asked, took out the fire fold, blew it on the side of his mouth, and lit the oil lamp hanging on the wooden pillar of the grass shed.

"You kid is really bold, hahahaha, you have the demeanor of being a teacher, but you don't have the wisdom and courage of a teacher." The man who collapsed in the straw shed said with a strange smile.

Yin Xiaofei knew that this was Gao Qi's master, who was paralyzed.

Gao Qi patted the dust on his body and said, "Master, what you said is that thanks to your old man who opened the Yin and Yang Road and rescued him, otherwise this Xiaofei brother and I would not have been beaten by the minotaur and scattered, but would have been choked to death by the sea of blood." ”

The paralyzed Taoist listened to Gao Qi's words, and only laughed, but he supported his unkempt head with one hand and stared at Yin Xiaofei strangely.

Yin Xiaofei also knew etiquette, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and said: "The junior Guangliu Yin Xiaofei, thank you for the senior's rescue." ”

"Hahaha! The white boy with silver silk sideburns, the miracle of Xuanmen shows his edge. Compassion and compassion for all things, a flick of green sleeves to sing. Great talent, great talent! Hahaha! As he spoke, the paralyzed man had only heard his voice and disappeared from him, and finally dissipated completely in a burst of laughter.

Yin Xiaofei's bowing action has not been put down, with an inexplicable look on his face, and his mouth keeps reading the words from the mouth of the paralyzed man, and he always feels that there is a lot of mystery in it.

Gao Qi pouted, patted Yin Xiaofei's shoulder and said, "Don't be surprised, my master is so virtuous, elusive, incoherent, sometimes he is drunk and grunts, he doesn't know what he says." ”

However, Yin Xiaofei knew in his heart that this demented paralyzed Daoist was by no means an idle person, and he couldn't even use his pure yang sword qi to feel the sword qi in the old man's body.

Yin Xiaofei turned back to Gao Qi and said, "Master Qi, your master is not simple!" ”

Gao Qi pursed his lips and said: "I know, the master and his old man don't know whether they are ghosts or immortals." Brother, don't marvel at my master, let's hurry back to Tizhou City and solve the problem of food and clothing first! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yin Xiaofei also felt empty in his stomach. So the two of them turned over and got on their horses and ran towards the city of Natizhou.

This time, the two of them slowed down, and the horse was not tired and paralyzed, and walked through the night without saying a word. When I arrived in Tizhou City, it was already Mao. That Gao Qi fell asleep on the horse's back several times along the way, and almost fell off the horse's back, thanks to Yin Xiaofei's reach out to grab it, so as not to make a big mess.

When they came to the Zhuangyuan Martial Arts Hall, the two knocked on the door, but no one responded. The two knew that there were only two fathers and sons, He Shanyue and He Mingxian, in this martial arts hall. So he didn't bother to knock, tied the horse to the stake of the ring, jumped over the high wall of the martial arts hall in one longitudinal leap, and walked straight to the upper room. Gao Qi muttered as he walked: "This He Shanyue is really dead, and the thief came in over the wall, I'm afraid he didn't notice it." ”

Yin Xiaofei smiled, did not answer, and said in his heart This eerie and terrifying place, the thief was probably frightened as soon as he came in.

It turned out that those lonely souls and wild ghosts had no way to enter the main hall anymore because of Gao Qi's 'Fu Ghost Flag', and could only wander around the compound, with dark shadows and cold air.

Back in the upper room, the fatigue had already invaded the two of them. Gao Qi grabbed the snacks prepared in the room and ate them randomly, and he didn't even bother to take off his shoes, so he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

Yin Xiaofei also ate some snacks and drank some water, sat on the spot, and used pure yang sword qi to nourish the meridian bones, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Just after Yin Xiaofei fell asleep, the 'Hades Grass' in his arms emitted a more intense green light, which complemented the green fairy of the jade glaze, which was not brilliant, but Yin Xiaofei didn't know it.

Outside the window, a figure flashed and disappeared into the white courtyard.

Three poles on the sun.

Yin Xiaofei heard someone outside the door calling softly: "Yin Shaoxia, are you back?" ”

Yin Xiaofei hurriedly replied: "Curator He, it's us, the Hades grass has been found." With that, he got up and opened the door.

Curator He stood in front of the door and said with a smile on his face: "Yin Shaoxia, I didn't expect that you have only been out for three days, and you have really found the Hades Grass, thank you so much." What a hero. ”

Yin Xiaofei waved his hand and said in surprise: "We got this 'Hades Grass' last night, where did we go for three days?" ”

He Shanyue was also surprised, and said with a smile: "Yin Shaoxia, you have worked hard all the way. I will invite you to sit in the 'Zhilan Drunken Township Building' and wash the dust for you. After speaking, he made a gesture, and suddenly heard a voice coming: "Director He, don't forget me!" ”

"Of course, of course, I'll go and reserve a seat." He Shanyue made another move, and walked towards the outside of the martial arts hall.

Yin Xiaofei sighed, and wanted to ask the doubts in his heart, but he heard Gao Qi behind him say slowly: "We have been going for three days, this ghost realm for a while, and the yang realm for three days." ”

Yin Xiaofei suddenly realized, but he still felt extremely surprised.

After that, He Shanyue entertained Yin Xiaofei and Gao Qi in Zhilan Zuixiang Building. During this time, Yin Xiaofei handed over the cluster of 'Hades Grass' to He Shanyue for safekeeping, and discussed how to find the remaining two medicinal materials.

Yin Xiaofei said: "That ghost cricket wing is on the ghost cricket king, I don't know what kind of monster the ghost cricket king is?" ”

Gao Qi shrugged his eyebrows and said, "Hey brother, if you want to say that I have no problem catching ghosts and subduing ghosts, but when it comes to subduing demons, you kendo knights should be more familiar than me." You don't know, how can I know? ”

Yin Xiaofei said with some shame: "Qi Ye, I won't tell you, although I am practicing swords in Guangliu, the demon I have really seen is a golden fox, and the Guangliu Sword Sect is a Jianghu Sword Sect, not a Taoist Sword Sect that subdues demons and destroys demons." I really don't know anything about demons. ”

Gao Qi could only pout helplessly.

Yin Xiaofei looked at He Shanyue, who was sitting on the side drinking, and asked, "Curator He, do you know anything about demons?" ”

He Shanyue shook his head while putting down the wine glass in his hand and said: "I have also practiced martial arts and swords with my father since I was a child, and I have some understanding of the personnel in the rivers and lakes, but I really have no clue about this demon and monster. ”

All three of them picked up their glasses and took a sip. Yin Xiaofei thought to himself, it seems that he still has to go back to Guangliu and ask Lao Wu.

He Shanyue suddenly put down the cup and said: "Alas, I'm really old and confused, when it comes to subduing demons and subduing demons, then I should ask the Youyun Zhenren of Shuntian Taoist Temple, he may know the location of this ghost cricket king." ”

So the three of them made up their minds, and after drinking and eating, they went straight to the Shuntian Taoist Temple on Sanlipo outside the city of Natizhou and rode their horses.

It was just after noon. The Taoist temple is long and forested, lush and green, and the white wall of the Taoist temple is hidden deep in the middle, which seems to be very holy and quiet. The Taoist sound comes out of the wall, which is even quieter, showing a scene outside the world.

"Heh, this temple is so magnificent!" Gao Qi looked at the main entrance of the magnificent Taoist temple and said with emotion.

Indeed, five years ago, the swordsmen of the Meng Kingdom gathered here and launched a life-and-death battle against the crocodile dragon demon. This Shuntian Taoist temple also moved the world and became a Taoist holy land. In addition, You Yunzhen has a good management of the Shuntian Taoist Temple, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims, so the financial resources of the Taoist Temple have increased greatly in the past five years. Two years ago, You Yun greatly renovated the Taoist Temple, and now the scale of this Shuntian Taoist Temple can almost be called the first view in Mengguo.

"Shuntian, these two words are engraved with muscles and willow bones, vigorous and powerful, as if there is a fierce sword qi coming out of these two words." Yin Xiaofei led the horse, looked up at the plaque on the main entrance of the Taoist temple and sighed.

He Shanyue smiled slightly and said: "Yin Shaoxia really has good eyesight, the word 'Shuntian' on this plaque is exactly this Shuntian Guan Zhangdao, and You Yun Zhenren slashed it out with the sword qi of the first layer of the sword robbery realm. Now that You Yun Zhenren's sword qi swordsmanship is estimated to have improved a lot. ”

When Yin Xiaofei and Gao Qi heard this, they were both stunned, it turned out that there was another swordsman with such a strong strength in this state city.
