Chapter 16: The Ghost King
Chapter 16: The Ghost King
When I came to the entrance of the cave and looked down, I saw that it was dark and swarthy, and I couldn't see anything.
He took out the rope, tied one end to a big tree, and then threw the rope down the hole, and then took out the Doushen net and draped it on his body to cover his breath from the ghosts below, holding the Condor and carefully following the rope, slowly climbing down.
The further down he goes, the colder he feels, and the more he goes down, the larger the space, and occasionally one or two ghosts float by, because they are clad in a net, so they are invisible to ghosts.
I don't know how long I climbed along the rope, I climbed to the tail of the rope, but Mao Li took a fifty-meter-long rope, and it was not yet to the end, and the back mountain was only a hundred or ten meters high.
"So deep? Not yet? Thankfully, there is a lot of preparation. As he spoke, he took out a bundle of rope from the gourd, connected it and continued to climb down.
After climbing for a long time, I finally touched the ground under my feet, and this place was already underground.
It's pitch black here, and you can only rely on your divine sense to find your way.
Maoli walked underground with the Condor, walking forward in all directions, and after walking for a while in the dark, suddenly, a cluster of flames floated in front of him.
"Don't be surprised, it's a ghost fire, which means that there is a ghost nest ahead." Condor said.
Turning a corner, I found that there was a karst cave hundreds of square meters wide, and clusters of ghost fires hung on the cave wall, illuminating the entire karst cave like daylight.
"There are so many ghosts, so how can I find out the ghost that killed my grandfather." Maori looked at the ghost nest and found that it was densely packed with ghost shadows floating around.
"Don't worry, I'll know when I catch a ghost and ask."
So they stayed at the entrance of the haunt's nest and waited for the lonely ghost.
Inside the haunt's nest, dozens or hundreds of ghosts floated around in it, like a masquerade ball.
"Hey, have you heard, the thousand-year-old Ten Thousand Ghosts Conference will be held soon."
"I heard that when the time comes, all ghosts will gather, and it will be a grand banquet."
"But didn't the underworld cease to exist hundreds of years ago? Who will preside over the conference? A little ghost asked.
"Hundreds of years? I see you're only a few hundred years old, right? An old ghost said.
"yes, is there a problem?"
"Then I don't blame you for being ignorant, I don't know when the underworld was gone, but the previous ten thousand ghost conferences didn't see the lord of the underworld come to preside, maybe the underworld has disappeared for almost 10,000 years." The old ghost said.
"Didn't you hear that someone in the underworld has taken over recently? Is it true? “
"It's true, it's a hairy boy, the hair hasn't grown yet, I want the owner of the local government, I think he can directly hook his soul and sprinkle some peppercorns to chew it." The old ghost said disdainfully.
"Ah, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, after all, he inherited the underworld, how can he say that he is also the lord of the underworld now, may I ask you?" Seeing that the old ghost was so domineering, the little ghost felt that the old ghost was not simple, so he asked.
"He is the sworn brother of the ghost king, called the second master." There was a ghost next to him.
"Second master," the little ghost said flatteringly.
"Second master, the king of my family invites you to go to the secret room to discuss important matters." The little ghost who introduced the second master earlier said.
"Well, take me there." The second master said with his hands behind his back.
"Wow, this is the second master, I heard that his ghost age is higher than that of the king, and his ghost art is even more powerful than the king, why is he still ranked behind the king to be the second one?" After the second master left, some little ghosts asked questions.
"You don't understand this, because the king has a powerful baby in his hands, so he naturally became a big brother." There are ghosts to explain.
"Oh, I see."
"Little hairy boy, did you hear it, there is a ghost king here, it should be two ghost kings, are you afraid?" Maori and they listened to the discussion inside, and the Condor spoke to his divine sense.
"Cut, I'm afraid of a ghost, all of them will be fried in a pan, crunchy." Mauri replied.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to fry it in one pot"
"If you can't fry in one pot, add one mouthful, add two mouthfuls of frying."
"Hey, why are you shaking, it can't be that you're trembling with fear, haha." The Condor looked at the trembling fur and teased.
"Cut, I'm cold, I'm not afraid." Mauri said strongly.
Seriously, seeing so many ghosts at once, who is not afraid, you think it is like you 10,000-year-old demon, Mao Li thought to himself.
At this moment, a small ghost floated towards this side, and Maori immediately became nervous.
"Remember, when he arrives close, you immediately lock him with a spirit rope and pull him into the Doushen Net, don't leak your breath, otherwise you will alarm the ghost king inside, and we won't be able to leave." The Condor admonished.
Maori stared at the little ghost so tightly that he forgot to respond.
"It's now," shouted the Condor when the imp slowly approached, and when he was only one step away.
Maoli immediately shook his hand and threw out the spirit rope to the little ghost, but the trembling amplitude of the hand was a little large, and the Doushen net was shaken off and fell to the ground, and in an instant a person and a dog were exposed to the ghosts, and the little ghost was caught, but he was discovered.
In an instant, the big ghosts and little ghosts in the cave discovered them, and immediately blocked their retreat, so they could only retreat to the cave.
"Who am I, it turns out to be the lord of the underworld, I don't know what the adults are doing when they come to my little ghost nest, this king must actively cooperate with the adults." Just when Maoli and they were surrounded by ghosts in the middle of the cave, the ghost king who received the report came out to take a look and immediately recognized Maoli, and the second master standing next to the ghost king looked at them with a kind of pervert when he saw a beautiful woman without clothes.
"Oh?! You are the king of ghosts, I received a tip, saying that you have prostitutes here, you also know, I have just taken office as the lord of the underworld, and there are no soldiers under my hands, so I can only do it myself, and if I don't deal with it after receiving a report, it will make the ghost gossip, so I specially came to take a look, is there such a thing, I don't think there is such a thing at all, maybe there is a ghost and a trick, I'll go back and check it out first, bother, no need to send it. Mao Li said with a smile, he was not confident that he could beat the two ghost kings, so he naturally played sloppy, looking for an opportunity to slip away, and after speaking, he was going to pick up the two ghosts in front of him and prepare to slip away.
"Since it's rare for the lord of the mansion to come here, leave without a cup of tea, and then spread the word, and if the hospitality is not good, others still think that we are disrespectful to the lord of the mansion, you say yes, the lord of the mansion... The second master said with a smile on his face.
"Looks like you're not going to let us go so easily today?" The Condor said suddenly.
"Talking about ghosts and prostitutes, why are you so good at, why don't you say that they sell white powder and smoke big cigarettes," the Condor whispered to Mao Li.
"Hell, don't you have to talk about ghosts," Maori whispered back.
"Oh, it turns out that there is a dog demon, just missing a cart, I think you are okay." The second master looked at the Condor and said.
