I reacted at the time, there has been no movement on it, it is obvious that Old Man Yang was not more than half a step away before, he should be staring outside.

Now the person who suddenly appeared more than half a step inside is not Old Man Yang himself, we can't tell at all.

Huang Yilin had already suspected that there was something wrong with the stove before, and if he took this opportunity to kill us, he would be able to pull us out without destroying it.

At that time, not only will we have an accident, but even Old Man Yang will be affected.

Therefore, whether it is old man Yang or not, we can't respond to him, if it is really old man Yang, he will call a few times and we will not respond, and we will come down to check.

"Come on, it'll be too late if you don't leave."

"The hair demon has been caught, the next step is you, this half a step is already difficult to protect itself, and it can't protect you."

……

Old man Yang urged a few more times on it, but no one responded to him, and then we heard the pot above our heads being turned again.

After carefully distinguishing it, it should be the white noodle pot outside, and immediately the three of us glanced at each other, and the internal force was condensed in our hands.

Old man Yang knows that we are in the secret room under the red meat pot, if he wants to come down to find us, he must serve the red meat pot, instead of carefully moving the white soup noodle pot, which means that the old man Yang above is not the real old man Yang!

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, and we held our breath and stared upward, waiting for the man to discover the secret room beneath the red meat pot.

We don't have much chance to fight him, we can only kill him the moment he discovers the secret room, so that we can survive.

Luckily, there were three of us, and if the people above came alone, we still had a good chance of winning.

The white noodle pot was lowered, and then the red broth pot was turned, and as the pot was turned, I felt my scalp tingle.

Just as the pot was about to be served, it was suddenly put down, and the three of us looked at each other and realized that something was about to happen.

Sure enough, after a while, footsteps sounded, and he came in from the door, paused at the door, and suddenly shouted, "Who? ”

It's Old Man Yang.

The real Old Man Yang is back, and the person just now doesn't know if he is still in the store, Old Man Yang is keen enough, and as soon as he comes in, he notices that something is wrong.

He stumbled lame and quickly walked around the shop, looking for traces of the man.

Soon we heard the sound of the jar being smashed, followed by the sound of a fight.

Old man Yang found the man.

The fight was fierce, and we didn't know if Old Man Yang could beat the other party, but we didn't dare to show up to help him.

At first, everyone hid in the room and did not dare to come out, but then they went upstairs, and the upstairs residents ran downstairs as if they were fleeing for their lives.

I looked at it suspiciously, and suddenly realized that my previous inference was wrong, and the person who came was not Huang Yilin.

If it was Huang Yilin, Old Man Yang would recognize it at a glance, even if he made a move at the beginning, but after seeing who the other party was, he would stop because of Huang Yilin's identity.

After all, Huang Yilin is from above the immortal to report on his work, and the face of the local parent official still has to be given, you can ask why he appeared here, and you can send it to the upper department to ask for an explanation, but it shouldn't be like this endlessly, you have to score a life and death.

Thinking like this, I suddenly remembered that when Huang Yilin came to check with a bad hand before, the target had actually been locked on the side of the red meat pot, if it wasn't for the emergency outside, he might have come down.

Appearing more than half a step again, he should go straight to the red meat pot and not touch the white noodle pot.

I ignored this small difference.

So, who is the guy above?

In addition to Huang Yilin, there is a second wave of forces chasing us?

The entire city was closed before twelve o'clock in the night, and this wave of forces could not be an external force, he had always been in the city.

But he didn't hide more than half a step, so where would he be before?

Shili Pavilion, Wuli Slope, and Half a Step, these three spaces are full of crises, only the two nodes of the Imperial Temple of Xudu City and the Half Step More can be hidden, not more than half a step, only the Imperial Temple of the Xudu City is left.

If there is any other possibility, then, how high is this person's skill to be able to walk the capital city at will and be unscathed?

But...... What kind of people can stay in the Imperial Temple of the capital city?

It is the office of the Inspector, and there is also a statue of the Hades, which is a place blessed by the underworld, and this person is either a person from the underworld himself and reports here, or, Huang Yilin's cronies.

Huang Yilin's cronies......

Something was slowly forming in my mind, and although I couldn't concretize it, I already had a rough answer.

Who is Huang Yilin?

He is the upper immortal who is jointly supported by the Huangxian clan, and when he comes down to report on his work, he must contact his old family, but he will never be so stupid as to insert his family into the imperial temple of the capital city as soon as he takes office.

Therefore, the person who stays by his side and has quite good abilities is likely to be the Mo Yanping family who are cooperating with the Huangxian clan.

What is uncertain now is whether it is Mo Yanping himself, Mo Xuying or Yun Sheng who is fighting with Old Man Yang above.

Whether it's any of the three of them, I don't have to worry that much.

He sneaked in after Huang Yilin withdrew more than half a step, he wanted to find us, but also wanted to avoid Huang Yilin, after all, Yun Sheng had come to me before, indicating that we could cooperate strategically.

But now we can't go out to meet him, for all this is my guess, and though I am almost certain that my guess is correct, I can't take any chances; Another point is that this is the territory of the capital city, Mo Yanping's family is so cunning, if they can't talk to us, they will definitely turn back and unite with Huang Yilin to deal with us, even if they can talk, because of the situation, he will definitely have to increase the weight.

It's better to hide for the time being, and now I just hope that Old Man Yang can withstand it.

I pulled Jiu Gu and Mo Xianye to sit down, hugged my knees and said, "The person above should not be Huang Yilin's first-class." ”

"Not Huang Yilin?" Jiu Gu frowned, "Who is that?" ”

Mo Xianye said in a deep voice: "It's not Huang Yilin, it's not a demon, and the rest is only Mo Yanping's family." ”

I tilted my head to look at Mo Xianye, it turned out that all I thought of, he had already analyzed it, I looked at him, he also turned his face to look at me, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

But I still have questions in my heart: "Jiugu, why was Old Man Yang so confident when he confronted Huang Yilin before?" Is this half-step really important for the entire Xudu City? ”

First of all, the existence of more than half a step seems very strange to me; Secondly, the rules of more than half a step can convince everyone and automatically abide by them, which is also incredible.

After all, this half-step is obviously to protect passers-by, how can the underworld tolerate such a 'paradox' jumping under his nose?

Jiugu said: "Everything in this world follows a law of yin and yang harmony, there is the underworld, there is the yang world; Where there are men, there are women; Where there is heaven, there is earth. ”

"The entire city is an independent space sandwiched between the two worlds of yin and yang, bordering the yang in the east and the underworld in the west, the two are in harmony with yin and yang, so the yin and yang in the city must balance themselves."

"The city of Xudu is full of yin and evil energy, where does this yang energy come from?"

"In the entire Xudu City, the only thing that has heat is only more than half a step!" I suddenly understood, "More than half a step is the pole that balances the entire Xudu City, without more than half a step, the Xudu City will cease to exist." ”

Jiu Gu nodded: "You are very smart, you can understand a little." ”

I see.

The haze that has suppressed me for so long seems to have disappeared in an instant at this moment.

No matter how horizontal Huang Yilin was, no matter how much he gritted his teeth when staring at the hungry wolves who were more than half a step, they didn't dare to really move more than half a step.

It's Huang Yilin this time, again and again, half a step to stir up more trouble, as long as Old Man Yang really goes to sue, Huang Yilin can't please him.

No wonder Old Man Yang is also worried, but he is so tough in his bones, and he is really straight.

All the wind directions of more than half a step are actually following the shopkeeper, and if Old Man Yang is in collusion with the Supervision Department, then the passers-by will really be in dire straits.

Fortunately, this old man Yang is also a poor man, and his heart, before, did not belong here.

How can someone who is still concerned about the yang world wear the same pants with the Supervision Department?

In the capital city, Old Man Yang is very restricted, crawling and crawling, cautious, this is necessary, but once it touches his own interests, and when his rights and interests are challenged, he will never bow his head easily.

How arrogant Huang Yilin is now, how miserable he will be when Old Man Yang calculates the accounts after the autumn.

But the premise is that Old Man Yang can survive this hurdle.

"So, logically speaking, it is safest for us to stay here and wait until twelve o'clock at midnight before going out, but now that there is a fight above, I am afraid that it will attract more instability, and in that case, we will be exposed sooner or later." Mo Xianye analyzed.

From the first time Yin Cha came to check the road guide in half a step, until now, it is already the third time, and if he continues to fight like this for more than half a step, Huang Yilin will have another excuse to come in and stir up trouble.

Jiu Gu glanced at it and muttered: "I don't know if there will be any movement on the demon side, we are very passive now, everything depends on Old Man Yang to maintain, and I don't know how long he can last." ”

When we were discussing in the room before, the demon clone said that as long as we enter the ghost gate, no matter whether the ghost gate is wide open or not, she has a way to protect us, plus the people who have been arranged by Jiugu to meet us on the Heishui River before, it will not be difficult to enter the underworld.

The key is how we can go out from more than half a step now and quietly enter the Ghost Gate Crossing, Huang Yilin's guy will definitely control the entrance of the Imperial Temple in the Imperial Temple of Xudu City into the Ghost Gate Crossing.

"We have to divide our forces in two ways." Mo Xianye suddenly said, "All the way people lead Huang Yilin away from them, all the way people take the opportunity to enter the ghost gate crossing, we don't wait, I will go out first to attract everyone's attention, let's go out to the ghost gate and then gather." ”

"No, the three of us can't be separated, this Longtan Tiger's Den, the lone one one will definitely not be able to escape." I should even oppose it.

Jiu Gu said: "It is the best choice for the soldiers to divide into two ways, but it should be me who goes out first." ”

"Aunt Jiu, you can't do it either." I reached out and grabbed the two of them tightly, for fear that one of them would run away first, "We are one, we must go hand in hand." ”

Jiu Gu smiled: "Have you two forgotten, I was guarded by someone, originally I returned to Xuanji Pavilion this time, I was going to be beheaded, you also know this, but in the end, Huang Yilin cut off only my stand-in, and I am not alive and well?" He can't help me. ”

"One more thing, do you think that when you enter the underworld, the situation will really improve? It's much more dangerous there, and I'm tired all the way, can you let me take a breath? ”

Although Jiugu said this, I still can't let go, although the road ahead is unknown and dangerous, but this capital city is really not able to stay.

"The reason why I am hiding now is because I want to protect you, and as soon as you enter the Ghost Gate, there will be someone over there to answer you, and I will quickly return to the Ghost City and go back to the Xuanji Pavilion." Jiu Gu continued.

Mo Xianye asked, "Auntie, can you still go back to Xuanji Pavilion?" You're not ......."

"Being dragged to the prison and beheaded for trial is just a superficial article, after all, I committed a capital crime when I escaped from the Xuanji Pavilion, and let the stand-in be tried and beheaded for me, just to change my new identity, and someone in the Xuanji Pavilion protected me." When Jiu Gu spoke, her eyes did not dodge in the slightest, so most of her words were true.

In order to make us believe her, she broke a big news for us: "There are some things that I shouldn't have said to you, but now that I have decided to separate from you, I still have to explain." ”

"Before, I insisted on agreeing to cooperate with the demon, and you must have had concerns in your hearts, but now I can tell you with certainty that what the doppelganger said is true."

"The underworld is no longer the original underworld, and the turmoil has led to some forces within the underworld that have been quietly replaced, and I even guess that there may be forces such as the demon world and the elf world that have infiltrated the underworld, and the demon is also aware of this."

"The underworld is chaotic, the world is chaotic, our pattern should not be limited to the battle between the fox clan and the Huangxian clan, we must be ready to reshuffle the two worlds of yin and yang and even the six realms of the three realms."

"And I, in fact, have already been in it, and you can't escape all this after all."

Jiu Gu said, holding up my and Mo Xianye's hands with her backhand, and then put them together: "These things, I wanted to talk to you slowly in the future, but I didn't expect that Huang Yilin was killed halfway, and all the process may have to be accelerated because of him, and it depends on the two of you whether the fox clan can survive this catastrophe." ”

"Some people want to die, don't care, the wicked have their own harvest, broaden their horizons, let go of the distance, the person who can be used, no matter what identity he once had, as long as he can ensure that he can control it, as much as possible under his command, we need strength."

Jiugu said so much in one breath, which shocked us a lot.

The underworld has been reshuffled, and according to what we have observed so far, even the one who is firmly on the platform may have problems.

Jiu Gu returned to Xuanji Pavilion this time, changed her identity, and followed the black-robed man's side, interfering in things related to the underworld.

This shows that the Xuanji Pavilion has actually already intervened in the control of the underworld, and we and Jiugu will eventually get together and go hand in hand.

From this point of view, if the troops have to be divided into two ways, Jiugu staying is really the best choice.

I lowered my head, I didn't know how to decide, the palms of my hands and the backs of my hands were full of meat, and I couldn't give up anyone, and it was originally me who made the name of the demon, and I definitely wanted to go to the underworld.

Mo Xianye sighed and said, "Auntie, there is a sentence that I have always pressed in my heart, I have not been able to say it for so many years, today, I want to say a word to you very solemnly, Auntie, I'm sorry." ”

"My mother has lived too selfishly for love all her life, if it weren't for you to carry everything for her, she wouldn't have survived now, and now in order to save her, you still dedicate silently again and again, and she owes you an apology."

"Auntie ......"

Mo Xianye held my hand with one hand, and held Jiugu's hand tightly with the other, and the last words could not be finished, but I actually understood that in Mo Xianye's heart, Jiugu's status was higher than that of his mother.

In the most difficult days of Mo Xianye, except for Grandpa Mo who has been protecting and supporting him, Jiu Gu is carrying everything for him.

Jiu Gu has lived almost all her life for Mo Xianye's mother and son, and what she plays is not the role of an aunt, but the role of a mother.

Now, with this release, Jiugu will really have to completely integrate into the forces of the underworld and meet again...... Perhaps, it is also possible that they will never see each other again.

Jiu Gu hugged the two of us in her arms, patted us on the back, and forced a smile: "Don't be like this, we will meet again soon, because our goal is the same, remember, you are the pride of the fox clan, come on, my children." ”

With that, she let go of us and rushed forward without hesitation.

I threw myself into Mo Xianye's arms at once, he hugged me tightly, and Jiugu's words of 'my children' made me cry instantly.

She seems to be alone, and most of the time she has a cold face, but everything she does is for the entire fox clan, she treats the fox clan as her own child to protect it, although she is not a saint, but she has always taken on all the responsibilities that a saint should bear, she is the greatest one.

Mo Xianye sighed deeply and muttered, "I hope everything goes well, Bai Li, are you ready, it's time for us to act." ”

I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and nodded vigorously: "We can't let Jiugu down." ”

……

After Jiu Gu rushed up, there was a sharp fox roar, and the sound resounded for more than half a step, and the people who were fighting above rushed down all of a sudden.

The whole half-step was in a mess, and most of the passers-by who stayed downstairs were businessmen who walked the vagina, and they had some skills, but they didn't dare to make trouble easily, and they were fighting upstairs, so they were guarding downstairs, but after Jiugu rushed out, the people upstairs rushed down, and they had no peace.

Jiugu turned into a fox and rushed out, and more than half of the merchants also ran out, and when Mo Xian and I jumped on the stove at night, we only saw Old Man Yang chasing a man in a white robe out.

At this glance, I was already sure: "It's Yunsheng." ”

"Mo Yanping's old fox has now retracted back to the elf clan, he must be waiting for us in the underworld, my aunt and Yun Sheng have become pawns in his hands at will, my aunt is really stupid." Mo Xianye said, looking at me, "As soon as I take more than half a step, there will be no turning back, Bai Li, the road ahead, only the two of us will depend on each other." ”

"I can go with you, I am willing to go anywhere." I tried to pull out a smile and looked up at him.

He put his arm around my shoulder, and then the two of them tacitly took more than half a step.

The moon hung obliquely in the sky, and at this time it was only eight o'clock in the evening, and there were still more than three hours before twelve o'clock.

More than half a step is no longer a safe haven, before the old man Yang takes back his absolute sovereignty, this place can not be as stable and harmonious as before, those businessmen guard their goods, and do not dare to go far, all leaning on the wall outside more than half a step, or standing, or squatting, gathering together in twos and threes, occasionally exchanging a few words.

Mo Xianye and I didn't have such a chance to stop, Jiugu rushed out, definitely to attract everyone's attention to the east, so that Mo Xianye and I could go west.

More than half a step away from the pass to enter the ghost crossing, but a few dozen meters away, we saw a ghost guarding there from a distance.

"Huang Yilin is really prepared, we want to force the pass, I'm afraid it will be difficult." I said.

Mo Xianye glanced around and speculated: "There are four ghosts guarding the pass, there must be a lot of ambushes around here, those merchants will not come before twelve o'clock, we will be surrounded as soon as we pass, unless the demon side makes a move." ”

"That's right, that hair demon clone said that she would come to us as soon as it got dark, and I don't know if she was arrested by Huang Yilin at this time." As I spoke, I glanced at Mo Xianye's back and asked, "Are you cold?" ”

Before, Mo Xianye's back was bitten by the female corpse cockroach, and the back of his clothes was directly torn to pieces by Jiugu, and his entire back was exposed to the outside, and he was red from the cold.

I glanced at my own clothes, and when I took them off to him, he couldn't put them on, so I turned behind him and grabbed him.

With this on his back, he won't be cold, right?

Mo Xianye pushed me: "I'm not cold, don't lean on me like this." ”

"Why?" I looked up at him, looked through his neck, and saw that his earlobes were red.

This man, shy?

Mo Xianye hooked my neck with his backhand, pulled me from his armpit to the front, and leaned his back against the tree: "I'm not cold." ”

"You stare at here, I'll take half a step back and find you clothes to wear." I said.

"I said I'm not cold, don't run around at this time."

As soon as Mo Xianye's words fell, a few muffled sounds suddenly came, and we looked sharply towards the source of the sound, and saw that the four yin cha guarding the pass fell to the ground at the same time, and soon turned into a puddle of pus and disappeared.

Mo Xianye and I glanced at each other, and saw doubts in each other's eyes, and the next moment, from the shadows on both sides of the level, two teams of yin gaps appeared, and there were more than a dozen of them.
