Chapter 155: The Arrival of the City King
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Liuyue took down an old book from the wine cabinet, then came to the table where everyone was sitting, sat down, put the book lightly on the table, and said, "This book was given to us by King Yama when the Ghost Inn's inn was founded."
Conversion looked at the dust-covered book, scratched his head, and said, "Is there any background history for this book?"
"I guess so." Huahua walked out of the back room with a teapot, and said while adding tea to everyone: "This book tells the importance of the existence of the Ghost Inn in the underworld, and in addition, the layout and structure of the Ghost Inn are recorded in detail. However, it is not known why it was written down. ”
After pouring the tea, he sat down next to Bingxin.
"Flowey is right." Shenchen explained: "This book does record the origin of the Ghost Inn, and the layout of the Ghost Inn, Feng Shui, and the junction points that exist in the underworld are all explained and explained in detail. This book can be said to be the most important thing in the Ghost Inn, and it is also the thing that we desperately want to protect. ”
Liuyue took a sip of water and said, "According to what you say, the reason why the man in black attacked the Ghost Inn last night was for this book?"
Shenchen paused for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be." Their main purpose is to deal with us. As for the Demon Inn, it may just be something they casually came with. They shouldn't know that if they want to destroy the Ghost Inn, they must find the hub of the inn. They absolutely don't know this. However, since the matter has come to this point, we must not fail to be vigilant, if the enemy knows that we have this book, and also knows that the inn is supported by a central point, then it will be very bad for us. Only by protecting this book can we have a greater certainty of victory. ”
"Hell is right." Bing Xin nodded slightly, and said: "Yesterday was just the enemy's avant-garde, they just came to explore the way, we don't know how many of them there are, and we don't know the real strength behind them, if we fight, we will have the upper hand." Therefore, the only thing we can do is to protect the Ghost Inn, and we must not let the Yin Spirit of the underworld be turbulent, when the time comes, it will not only be our war with them, but also distracted by the Yin Spirit turmoil, and we will be attacked by the enemy, in that case, we will not attack ourselves. ”
"Just." Liuyue glanced at Shenchen and paused, "Shenchen, if this is just an appetizer for the enemy, that leader of theirs in black is already difficult enough to deal with. If they send stronger masters, won't we be wiped out? ”
Listening to Liuyue's words, Shenchen's face suddenly became ugly, and he crossed his fingers on his chin without speaking.
Liuyue is right, if the enemy sends stronger people, then we are not opponents at all!
Also, what the man in black said, the instigators behind it were the military judge and Liu Wuming......
Liu Wuming said that this guy would not have appeared without full strength, but if the military judge came because of his instigation, he pretended to be a man in black and fought with us......
When the time comes, will we fight, or will we not fight?
"Are you alright?" Bing Xin stretched out his left hand to grasp Hades's hands, and whispered close to his ear.
Shenchen sighed slightly, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Bingxin frowned and said, "What do you think of what Liuyue said?"
Shenchen turned his head, looked at her with a smile, and said, "I'm not sure about fighting the enemy...... However, I am sure that I will protect you. If we can't beat it, can't we escape it? ”
Hearing what he said, the stone hanging in Bingxin's heart was put down, nodded, and smiled, "Hmm." ”
Shenchen turned his gaze to everyone and said coldly, "Liuyue is right. If the enemy sends more powerful masters, then, with the strength of just a few of us, we are no match for them at all. However, we don't need to fight with them. Just now, I have already said that if the Ghost Inn does not destroy the central point, it will not be destroyed at all. So, since we can't beat them, let's run away. ”
"Escape?!" Except for Bing Xin, everyone else showed a look of surprise.
"Yes, run!" Shenchen nodded and said.
Conversion scratched his head and said, "But, big brother, the enemy's target is us, even if we escape, where can we escape?"
Shenchen opened his mouth and replied, "Difu."
"Underworld?!" This time, everyone was shocked.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Bingxin stabilized everyone, hurriedly pulled Mingchen's arm, and said in his ear: "Chen'er, I finally escaped from it, you, how can you let me go back again?"
Shenchen whispered back, "Isn't there no way? Now, only the underworld is the safest. If we go to the Ten Palaces of Hades, they will definitely deal with the matter of us being hunted down. ”
"But I don't want to go back."
Shenchen sighed helplessly and said, "Don't worry, as long as this matter is stable, I will take you away." When the time comes, tear your face with their underworld, you are not the king of Hades, and I don't want ghosts to come to the inn, we will wander the world. Isn't it possible? ”
Hearing him promise like this, Bing Xin had nothing to say, so he had to nod and say, "Remember, don't cheat!"
"Don't worry, don't cheat."
After calming down Bing Xin, Shenchen looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, the only chance we can win now is to go to the Ten Halls of Yama, as long as they can go out, this matter will definitely be settled."
Huahua said coquettishly: "But, we don't want to go to the underworld!" Miss and I finally escaped from the underworld, and now we are back, aren't we throwing ourselves into the net? ”
"That's it!" Liuyue also objected: "Shenchen, you and the eldest sister have been together for a long time, and now you are sending the eldest sister back, aren't you, aren't you asking for hardship?"
These guys are really brainless!
Hades muttered in his heart.
Forget it if you don't have a brain, Liuyue, I didn't expect you to be so brainless! It seems that no brains are hereditary!
Hades explained to everyone, "Listen to me. Just now, I have already explained to Bing'er, we only went to the underworld to escape for our lives, and when this matter is settled, we will completely tear our faces with the underworld, Bingxin will no longer be the king of Hades, and I will no longer be the head of the ghost inn. Isn't that a happy event? ”
Hearing his explanation, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood.
Liuyue let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "So that's what you mean." Killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone, good, good! ”
Huahua also echoed: "You said it earlier! It makes us worry blindly. ”
Oh, my God! ……
You didn't let me say it, so why do you blame me?
Shenchen can be described as crying and laughing.
Why did you have such a group of teammates? It's too pit! It's more pig than a pig!
"Is Hades here? …… Is the owner of the Ghost Inn? ……”
At this moment, someone's shout came from outside the inn.
At that moment, everyone stood up and entered a state of alert.
Shenchen looked out the window and saw that it was a person in ancient costumes, looked back at Liuyue and said, "Liuyue, quickly, put that book away."
Liuyue let out an "oh" and hurriedly ran into the back room with the book.
The rest walked out of the inn.
The visitor, dressed in a gray robe and wearing a hat made of grass, could not see his face because the front was pressed a little low, and he stood with his hands behind his back.
Behind him, there were five or six soldiers in black armor.
Shenchen glanced at him for a moment, and then spoke, "Why did Brother Tai come?"
The man replied, "Looking for someone."
Shenchen said: "Who are you looking for?"
The man said, "The ghost is in charge of the inn."
"Oh?" Shenchen put his right hand behind his back, and said in the same manner: "All of us present are innkeepers, I don't know what you are looking for us?"
The man likewise "Oh? He sighed, then raised his head slightly, glanced at Bing Xin, and then lowered his head again, and said, "I'm looking for Shenchen."
Shenchen first frowned, and then said with a smile: "I am."
"I don't know if Your Excellency is looking for me......"
The man directly said coldly and said, "Take it!"
Then, the two soldiers behind him stepped forward directly, took the Shenchen backhand down, and held him deadly.
Shenchen didn't expect this guy to make a move, and he didn't understand why he made a move, so he said coldly: "Your Excellency is not too much?!"
"Really?" The man sneered, then raised his hand and took off his hat.
"You, you are ......" Shenchen said in surprise when he saw the person in front of him.
"It's you, the king of the city!"
That's right, it's the king of the city.
"City King, what are you doing here!" Liuyue didn't care who it was, pointed at him.
The king of the city threw away the hat, stood with his hands in his hands, and said, "Hades." Originally, I hoped that you would not have anything to do with Hades, but I didn't expect that Hades would really be here with you. Do you know how serious it is for Hades to neglect his duties for more than a week? This is a matter of the underworld, if she has any more mistakes, the Emperor of Heaven will not only not be able to spare you and me, but the entire underworld will suffer! Hades, do you know your sin! ”
Unexpectedly, I still found it!
Shenchen sighed in his heart.
Are the people of this underworld so selfish?
"City King!" Bing Xin knew that he couldn't retreat anymore, otherwise Shenchen's life would be in jeopardy, so he stepped forward and pointed at the latter: "This matter has nothing to do with them, I came out to play without permission, and besides, I only came to the Ghost Inn today, what's wrong with them?!"
The King of the City looked at Hades, then at the King of Hades, then knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The King of the City sees the King of Hades!" Hades, you haven't been back for a week, and you've already violated the rules of the underworld, but there aren't many people who know the truth, so your subordinates implore Hades to go back with your subordinates. ”
Bingxin said coldly: "City King, I know the seriousness of the matter without you saying it." In addition, we have decided that we will go back in a while, but I really didn't expect that you would intervene sideways and indiscriminately take down the ghost inn boss. You say, should I say that you came in time, or should I say that you are guilty of the following crimes?! ”
"Without my order, you actually acted without permission!!"
Seeing that the Hades King was angry, the City King's whole body trembled, and he hurriedly ordered: "What are you two doing in a daze!" Hurry up and be a man! ”
The two soldiers who were holding Shenchen hurriedly let go of their hands.
Hades rubbed his arms and said, "City King, I know, you are thinking about Hades, after all, her identity is special." However, you can't just do it without asking, right? A few of us just wanted to send Hades back, and you started to do it as soon as you came out, how can we let us do something for you? ”
The city king smiled awkwardly and apologized, "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry."
"That's it!" Bing Xin regained the demeanor of the Hades King, exuding an imperial breath all over his body, and said coldly: "Since you are also here, let's go back together."
The king of the city clenched his fists and said, "Yes!"
"Let's go!"
Subsequently, the soldiers opened the way, and Mingchen and others were behind them, and the group walked in the direction of the underworld.
……
On a small hill not far from the Ghost Inn.
A middle-aged man in a black cloak stood with his hands in his hands, and beside him, a middle-aged man in a blue coat was standing.
The two of them are the military judge and Liu Wuming who have just come out of the underworld.
Liu Wuming looked at the direction of the Ghost Inn with his glasses and said, "Your Excellency, there is no movement. No one was in sight. ”
The military judge's face sank, and he said coldly: "It's all said, don't call me Lord Judge, call me Boss Lin."
"Yes, Boss Lin."
The military judge took Liuyue's glasses, put them in front of his eyes, and said lightly, "Are you sure they are already injured?"
Liu Wuming nodded and said, "The subordinates have confirmed that they are indeed seriously injured. Boss Lin, if you do it tonight, you will definitely destroy them all in less than half an hour. ”
The military judge snorted coldly, threw the telescope to the latter, and then said, "Half an hour? …… Hum! It's all over in 10 minutes! ”
"Yes, yes." Liu Wuming patted his ass and said: "Boss Lin is the most powerful, they are injured again, they must not be your opponent Boss Lin."
The military judge said: "Go, arrange it, hide it, and do it again at night."
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."
