Chapter 136: Examination
The demon is definitely a sharp weapon, if the seal of the demon can be lifted easily, then, she has cooperated with Mo Yanping for so many years, such a good helper, Mo Yanping will not want to find a way to completely take her for himself.
Even Mo Yanping didn't dare to meddle in the matter of the demon seal, how could I be?
This hair demon is going around and around, is it setting me up?
When the woman heard me say this, her face changed suddenly, but she still said patiently: "If things are really so easy to do, what do you think I will spend with you here?" Moreover, the underworld today is not the same as the underworld you imagined. ”
"What's wrong with the underworld?" Listening to her tone, it's not quite right.
In fact, I have always had an idea in my heart, Mo Yanping belongs to the elf clan, why can he mobilize the forces of the underworld? Who exactly is he working with?
Although the underworld forces such as the underworld beasts and demons are not as good as the Yin soldier army, they are also among the best existences, and if they want to mobilize them, this person who cooperates with Mo Yanping must have a high status in the underworld.
How high? High enough to cover the sky with one hand and blind the eyes of the Hades.
How difficult is it to achieve this level?
In the history of the underworld, it is not without accidents, the latest chaos in the underworld, I heard Grandpa Mo say it a few days ago.
Therefore, what the woman in front of you said should not be fully believed, but it should not be completely denied.
There are too many possibilities in this world, and each of them will derive more possibilities and impossibilities.
I subconsciously glanced at Mo Xianye sideways, and saw that his brows were tightly locked, obviously tangled.
Before we could discuss more, Jiu Gu on the side suddenly said: "Okay, we will do this deal with you, I think, how to rescue the demon, she already has a plan in her heart, what she needs is just a reliable foreign aid, we are willing to be her foreign aid." ”
Mo Xianye and I looked at Jiu Gu in surprise, and couldn't believe that she had decided on this matter like this.
Mo Xianye said in a low voice: "Auntie, you ......"
Jiu Gu raised her hand, interrupted him, and said, "This matter is so decided, if there are any bad consequences, I will bear it alone." ”
"Auntie, this is not a joke, this is against the entire underworld, not to mention that you are alone, even if you take our entire fox clan, you can't resist it." Mo Xian said bitterly at night.
"Harm!" The woman on the other side stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Mo Xianye's eyes, and the tulle cuffs floated with a fragrant wind, full of charm, and even a woman like me looked hot.
This woman is also too charming, and the hearts of the hooked people are trembling, and the soul is about to fly away with her.
Although she's just a doppelganger, her appearance should be the appearance of the demon deity, right?
People always say that the more poisonous a woman is, the more beautiful she looks, and now I really believe it.
Subconsciously looked at Mo Xianye, thinking that this teas, his bones were going to be crispy, but then, the man had a black face and pushed the woman's hand aside: "Talk, talk, what do you do with your hands." ”
This man...... It's so straight and cute.
The woman pouted and withdrew her hand, and said aggrievedly: "Harm, I just want to say, don't worry so much, when our master breaks through the seal, the underworld will definitely set off a bloody storm, and then it's too late for them to be busy dealing with my master, how can they have the time and energy to take care of you shrimp soldiers and crab generals." ”
It's a bad thing to say, but there's some truth to it.
She continued: "You have lived in the world for a long time, you don't understand how aggrieved the life of those of us who live in the underworld, although the underworld is one of the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, but it is next to the elven world and the demon world, the elven world is friendly with the underworld, and together they balance the demon world, but over the years, there has been a Mo Yanping, this old boy jumps up and down and wants to ride on the neck of the underworld to make a fortune, and the demon world also wants to take this opportunity to annex the underworld. ”
"The underworld, on the surface, it looks glamorous, but in fact, it has long been in turmoil, even the Hades ......" The woman said this, and suddenly closed her mouth.
Mo Xianye didn't intend to bypass this topic, and asked, "What's wrong with the Hades King?" ”
"What's wrong with the Hades, don't you know when you enter the underworld? You wouldn't believe me anyway, would you? The woman began to talk to the mud, "Okay, now that we have reached a consensus, let's talk about how to save people." ”
"Okay, you say it first, let's see if the plan is feasible." Jiu Gu said along with the woman's words.
I was actually very confused in my heart at the time, along the way, Jiugu has always been relatively conservative when making big decisions, unlike me who seems to be gentle on the surface, but in fact I have an impulse that is not afraid of death.
According to Jiugu's previous performance, she should not agree so decisively in helping the demon lift the seal, and actively discuss the rescue plan.
Jiu Gu gave me the feeling that she had a certain understanding of the underworld, and what she learned was consistent with what the woman in front of her said, so she would make a decision without any worries.
Thinking of the man in the cloak who repeatedly helped Jiu Gu, I was also relieved.
After all, the man in the cloak is from the Netherworld, this is an indisputable fact, Jiugu is by his side, of course he can get news about the Netherworld.
In this case, the ninth aunt said that she could help the demon, and she must be able to help.
With that in mind, my last worries were dispelled and I joined in their discussions.
……
Just as our discussion was in full swing, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly rushed upstairs, startling us all shut up at once.
Soon, the footsteps stopped in front of our door, and there was a knock on the door: "Open the door with white glass." ”
As soon as I heard that it was the voice of the old man Yang, I hurriedly walked over, opened the door, he hid in, and when he looked at the woman, he was stunned for a moment, I guess I didn't expect this woman to sit in our room in a good manner.
"You ......" Old Man Yang twinked his finger between us, puzzled.
I explained: "Partner. ”
Old man Yang didn't ask me if I was still figuring out the origin of the woman opposite, how did he become a partner this time, he looked very anxious: "Huang Yilin personally came to this side with a team of yin, and he will soon surround more than half a step, he won't let go if he doesn't stir up more than half a step today." ”
He ...... How dare you be so blatant? Jiugu still can't figure it out, even if the new official takes office three times, Huang Yilin is ready to take more than half a step, and he will not be so reckless.
More than half a step has existed in the capital city for so long, and it has always been peaceful, and if you want to swallow, you have to train your throat and swallow it in one gulp.
The woman sneered: "He's coming for me." ”
"By the way, we will also be implicated." Mo Xianye said.
This is a matter of killing three birds with one stone, even if he can't swallow more than half a step in the end, he Huang Yilin's trip is not a loss.
"My ancestors, don't guess here, none of you can stay in the room, otherwise you will really be served in a pot." Old man Yang was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
The woman's apricot eyes raised and said, "I said that I would accept it, but it's you, do you choose to go out with me now to fight, or find a way to hide?" ”
"Now is not the time to fight hard, if it really makes trouble, it is still Huang Yilin who takes advantage." Jiugu said.
Old man Yang nodded: "I have a place for you to hide for the time being, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, don't come out casually, don't." ”
"I don't go to any corner and dirty place, it stains my new clothes." The woman's slender fingers dusted her sleeves, stood up, and said to us, "I'll pick you up as soon as it's dark." ”
After speaking, she turned into a lock of black hair, swam out like a small snake, and withdrew more than half a step before Huang Yilin arrived.
Old man Yang didn't care about her, beckoned us downstairs, led us to the stove, and vigorously picked up the cauldron inside.
I haven't been close to this stove since I entered more than half a step until now, although I faintly saw that this cauldron was red and smelled of meat, but now that I got closer, I didn't spit out the overnight meal.
Inside the cauldron, there was a thick layer of blood foam on it, and occasionally Bai Sensen's bones were discharged, and when Old Man Yang picked up the cauldron, I clearly saw one of the bones, which looked like a leg bone.
My mind kept echoing what Old Man Yang had said to me before, 'It's not for people to eat'.
"What are you doing in a daze, go down." Old man Yang urged us, and his eyes kept looking at the door, for fear that Huang Yilin would come in through the door the next moment.
I looked at the flames burning in the stove and frowned: "There is still a fire burning in here, how can you hide people in such a big place?" ”
"Trust me, just jump." Old man Yang didn't have time to explain, so he urged vigorously.
Mo Xianye jumped on the stove and said, "I believe in you, I'll come first." ”
With that, he jumped down.
The flames in the stove jumped down with Mo Xianye, and suddenly jumped more than a meter high, and then fell, and Mo Xianye was gone.
Jiugu and I no longer hesitated, and jumped down one after another.
The fire in the stove is not the same as an ordinary firewood, and when I jumped down, I found that this fire did not have any temperature.
And we jumped down without any hindrance, directly through the flames and fell downward.
Underneath the flames was a small chamber, presumably enchanted, connected to the stove above to form two separate spaces.
The flames of the stove illuminated everything inside the chamber.
In the secret room, there is a big offering table against the wall, and the tablets on the offering table are all Yang family members who were once destroyed by Old Man Yang's master.
A whole yin dart game, dozens of mouthfuls up and down, all of them died overnight, such a hatred, Old Man Yang can't let go of it for the rest of his life.
I began to doubt how his master died in the end, and I think it has nothing to do with Old Man Yang.
The deceased was the greatest, and the three of us stepped forward in unison, lit incense, and bowed to the tablet.
After that, I went back to the bottom of the stove and listened quietly to the movement above.
Soon, we heard footsteps coming from above, and the people above were talking loudly.
As soon as those yin errands came in, they didn't just stop at the door and negotiate with Old Man Yang like last time, but rushed in directly.
Of course, Old Man Yang didn't do it, and we heard him stop it loudly, but it obviously didn't help.
"Half a step does not talk about yin and yang things, does not accept any yin and yang checks, from ancient times to the present, this rule has lasted for tens of millions of years, what do you want to do? Want to rebel? ”
"Rules?" Huang Yilin's voice sounded, "The rules are all set by people, since more than half a step is located in the territory of the Imperial Temple of the Xudu City, it is within the control of our Supervision Division, and today there is a secret letter to report, saying that there are underworld rebels staying overnight within more than half a step, in order to ensure the safety of the capital city and even the entire underworld, I, the newly appointed parent official, must come and see." ”
"Lord Huang, a few hours ago, your subordinates have already come to check once, and confirmed that the people who are staying overnight within more than half a step now are all normal, if I really find any troublemakers here, then the previous investigation was all a formality?"
"When this matter gets out, how should Lord Huang explain it?"
Old man Yang is still shrewd in the end, before Huang Yilin finds out anything, he will first plug his mouth and take himself out first.
In this way, Huang Yilin didn't investigate, he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, checked, didn't find out the matter, he was unwilling, and found out that the matter was done, because he was not well supervised, and it was thankless to do anything.
"No matter what the result is, this is my business, everything is for the sake of the safety of our capital city." Huang Yilin forced himself to find a reason.
Old man Yang's goal has been achieved, and he is no longer embarrassed: "Since the inspector insists on investigating, I, Yang, can't refute your face, but I said ugly things in front, only this once, not as an example, and if nothing is found out in the end, the inspector must tell Yang someone, who is not pleasing to the eye for more than half a step, and creates such a rumor, Yang has to seek justice for more than half a step." ”
said that he would give face, but the additional conditions made him stumble everywhere, and Old Man Yang didn't want Huang Yilin to get better.
Huang Yilin is now being framed by Old Man Yang, and he is in a dilemma: "Don't say some things too early, when I finish checking, I have my own explanation." ”
Before Huang Yilin came, he must have been staring at his eyeliner for more than half a step, and the demon clone was just a lock of black hair, running into the sky and the ground, not eye-catching at all, and even if we turned into a fox and wanted to take more than half a step, we would leave traces.
The eyeliner must ensure that we did not take more than half a step, so Huang Yilin dared to search hard.
After that, neither of us spoke, and we held our breath and pricked up our ears to listen to the movement from above.
The first thing that happened was to go upstairs and drive everyone upstairs down, and everyone was afraid to come out, waiting for the result.
Yin Cha searched the top, and it must have been earth-shattering, and the search lasted a full quarter of an hour, and then I heard someone report: "My lord, there is nothing up there." ”
"Let's search again." Huang Yilin still doesn't give up.
The sound of chaotic footsteps walked back and forth above our heads, and from time to time someone came to search around the stove, although we knew that this secret room was hidden, and the red broth was boiled on it, it was already heavy, and there were dozens of tablets enshrined in the secret room, and the yin and evil qi could well cover the breath on our bodies.
But that kind of fear can't help but go up, and my mind is still not fully trained.
Mo Xianye probably also felt my uneasiness, reached out and hugged me into his arms, and whispered to me close to my ear: "Don't worry, nothing will happen." ”
Yin Cha flipped through the bottom as well, and then it was the same conclusion, nothing.
The air seemed to be frozen at that moment, and Huang Yilin's heart was about to be blown up at this time.
A sound of footsteps, slowly pacing towards the stove, he walked so slowly that I could even imagine that scene.
He must have put his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on his target, like a hunter staring at his prey, getting closer and closer, and finally stopping at the edge of the stove.
He reached out and picked up the spoon, slowly stirring the soup in the pot, the copper spoon hitting the wall of the pot, right above our heads.
Click, click, click, knock......
Every sound is a kind of torment for us, Huang Yilin must be suspicious of this stove, this guy is too fine.
"Lift these two pots up." Huang Yilin said.
My heart suddenly rose to my throat, and I grabbed the corners of Mo Xianye's clothes with both hands, and my palms were full of sweat.
Old man Yang said: "Be careful, my two pots are priceless antiques, and the soup base in the pot has been passed down for millions of years, don't destroy me, you can't afford to pay for it." ”
Then, we heard the sound of two pots being removed overhead.
Although there was an enchantment, the moment the pot was removed, I still felt as if I was instantly exposed to Huang Yilin's sight, and I was so shocked that I subconsciously took two steps back.
Mo Xianye held me in his arms hard, not letting me move, he raised his head and stared upward, as long as there was any movement above, we must respond as soon as possible.
It was quiet again, but this time it was the quietness that made our scalp tingle the most.
Huang Yilin must be studying the flame under the pot, and guessing what will be under the flame, and in the process, he will also pay attention to Old Man Yang's demeanor and movements from time to time to deduce the flaws.
I even think that this time, we may be in the middle of nowhere.
Although one day, we will definitely have a fierce battle with Huang Yilin, but now is not a good time.
At the last moment, someone outside suddenly ran in in a hurry and shouted, "My lord, there is movement outside." ”
Huang Yilin didn't ask what the movement was, and directly explained to everyone: "Leave a team of people to hold more than half a step, and the rest will follow me." ”
Old man Yang shouted after him: "Lord Huang, you have been tossing around with me for so long, and you haven't found anything, so you just left?" Should you say something to me? ”
"What do you want me to say?" Huang Yilin's obviously oppressive voice was extremely unhappy.
Old man Yang was not stunned: "If you apologize, I don't dare to ask you Lord Huang to say it, but we have a word first, half a step is only allowed to allow others to go wild here once, and never allow a second time, what do you mean by leaving this team here?" ”
"If you come to eat and stay in a hotel, I Yang someone will clearly mark the price, and I am welcome, but if it affects my business, I'm sorry, please don't blame me Lord Huang for turning his face."
Huang Yilin sneered: "What if I don't withdraw?" ”
"What is the significance of more than half a step for the entire Xudu City, before Lord Huang reports on his work, someone must have told you about it, right? If Lord Huang insists on going his own way......"
"Withdraw!"
……
After all Huang Yilin's men were evacuated, my legs were slightly weak, and Mo Xianye supported me: "So afraid? ”
"No matter what Huang Yilin says, he is also from the upper immortal to report on his work, he has the ability, there is no doubt about it, plus now we are within his jurisdiction, if we don't do it well, it will really be planted in his hands, how can we not be afraid?" I don't think it's all fake.
Mo Xianye didn't care: "The upper immortals are indeed superior, but Huang Yilin is a person who is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and his kung fu is far higher than the cultivation level." ”
Jiu Gu also said: "If it weren't for the name of the Immortal above to gild him, he might not be as good as Huang Zhigao." ”
Having said that, after all, people are sitting in the position of the upper immortals, and the power is in their hands, so we still have to guard against it.
"By the way, who attracted Huang Yilin's attention outside?" I asked.
Jiugu and Mo Xianye were also unsure, but the three of us glanced at each other, and it was obvious that there was someone in our hearts.
It should be that the doppelganger of the demon found a way to attract Huang Yilin's attention, right?
We waited below for a while, and at that time we were really a little sleepy, and the three of us sat in the corner, thinking about dealing with fascination for a while.
There is an old man Yang staring at it, and we can't make sure that the situation outside is completely stable, and we can't rush out.
This night's rush, coupled with wave after wave of emergencies, made us nervous and tired, and now as soon as the whole person relaxes, sleepiness will sweep in.
I don't know how many hours have passed, but when I woke up, I found that my head was resting on Mo Xianye's lap, and he and Jiu Gu were whispering something.
"What time is it?" I'm a little hungry, and it's been a long time.
Mo Xianye reached out and stroked my hair, and said, "It should be more than five o'clock in the evening, and at this time, the sky in the sun is already dark." ”
Yes, it's just over the New Year, and the days in early spring are still very short, windy, and the temperature is low.
I sat up, glanced at it, and asked, "There doesn't seem to be any movement up there." ”
"Before twelve o'clock in the night, the people outside couldn't come in, and the people who lived in themselves were also frightened, and now they should all be hiding in their rooms, and no one dares to show their heads casually anymore." Jiugu analyzed.
Everyone was waiting for twelve o'clock in the middle of the night to come, waiting to get out of this place of right and wrong.
The demon clone said before that when it gets dark, she will contact us to dispatch.
In fact, if we really have that ability, we can stay by the Blackwater River before 12 o'clock at midnight, it would be better.
At this time, Old Man Yang's voice suddenly came from above: "It's safe outside, come up." ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately became excited, and I stood up and was about to say yes, but Mo Xianye covered my mouth and shook his head at me.
