Chapter 64: The Nine Secluded Mansions

There is an ordinary-looking three-entry mansion in the capital, but it can be secretly connected to several surrounding courtyards, and it is updated the fastest

There is a lotus pond in the courtyard, and there is a hidden button on the side of the pool, and when you press the dark button, the stepping stone will rise on the surface of the pool, which can lead to the rockery diagonally opposite.

There is a secret button in the rockery, and when the dark button is opened, there is a small mountain door, and there is a secret passage inside, and there are arrow mechanisms on both sides of the secret passage, and behind the secret passage is a large stone door.

There are buttons on the left and right sides of the door, the left button shows the twelve hours such as the sub ugly Yin Mao, and the right button shows the twelve zodiac signs such as the rat, cow, tiger and rabbit, and you can enter by pressing the right button.

After passing through the layers of mechanisms, there are different passages underground, like a network, some roads are death traps, and if you enter, you will die, and some roads lead to other places, like a dungeon.

There is a passage in it, walk for about an hour of incense, and then walk a few steps to enter the wide and strangely decorated underground palace.

On the plaque of the underground palace, the gold lacquer is written in large characters about the Nine Secluded Underworld.

There is a person wearing a ghost mask sitting in the main hall of the underground palace, and there is a delicately decorated inner hall behind the hall.

Under the hall stood a row of black-clothed masked men, who were:

Death, Bliss, Nirvana, and Rebirth, the four major hall masters, the stewards of the Nine Secluded Underworld, and several important figures in the underworld.

The Lord of Nirvana stood up and knelt tremblingly:

"This time, the subordinate leader missed again, please punish the ghost king!"

The strange voice of the ghost king was full of anger:

"Thanks to you, as the master of the Nirvana Hall with strong martial arts, this king deliberately sent the Jiangnan Meteor Gang to assist you, confusing the public, and dispatched more than 100 people.

The lucky boy also recommended people to break the various formations of Tuoba Fanghua, and Tuoba had the accurate whereabouts of Tuoba, such a thorough task, but he still missed!

The abandoned mausoleum on the outskirts was destroyed again, although it was not a secret base, and it was all temporarily recruited by the Meteor Gang.

But we have lost nearly a hundred people, do you think it is so easy to cultivate a killer? ”

"The subordinates know their mistakes, please punish the ghost king." The Lord of Nirvana's whole body trembled.

The ghost king's hollow and strange voice said again:

"You led the Nirvana Temple, not only suffered heavy losses, but also returned in vain, not even a single hair of Tuoba was injured.

Now that Tuoba knows the secrets of the Nine Hidden Underworld, the crime is one more serious, and you still have the face to come back alive! ”

"Please see that the ghost king has been operating for the ghost king under his subordinates for many years, and his business is thriving, making money every day, and providing a lot of income for the Nine Hidden Mansions.

Let his subordinates make meritorious service and make up for their mistakes, and his subordinates will definitely not miss again.

If there is any discrepancy, it will be cut off. "The lord of the temple of Nania knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Nirvana needs to be reborn and full of potential before it can be reborn.

What you are running is only a business under the Nine Shadows Mansion, even if this king sends any of them, they will make the business of Nirvana impressive.

If you fail to do your best, you deserve to die! The Ghost King's voice grew colder and colder.

The Lord of Nirvana was already prostrate on the ground, trembling so much that he couldn't say a word.

The others in the hall didn't dare to plead, so they had to look at the trembling Nirvana Hall Lord.

The Ghost King finally said sharply:

"If you dare to be lucky, you can't complete Nirvana, which can only be wiped out!"

The ghost king's voice fell, and a finger flicked open his mouth, and another pill flew into his mouth.

The man kneeling on the ground trembled. fell to the ground and died, and soon turned into a pool of blood.

When the others saw this, they immediately knelt in front of the ghost king in fear.

The ghost king looked at the pool of blood and sighed slightly:

"Go ahead, remember that you have worked hard for the Nine Hells Mansion for many years, what this king can do for you is to give you a good soul and do a grand ritual for you!"

The ghost king paused for a moment, then looked at the strange voices of his highness and said solemnly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Nine Secluded Underworld has always been strict in rewards and punishments, and the failure of the Nirvana mission led by the Lord of the Nirvana Hall has caused the Nine Secluded Underworld to suffer heavy losses, and the secret has been leaked, so it has to be heavily punished. Take this as a lesson! ”

"The subordinates must wear their hearts and swear allegiance to the ghost king! ......" His Highness bowed respectfully.

"You all come here and eat this king's newly developed immortal elixir.

Take each temple back and distribute it to your men. The Ghost King said again.

All the black-clothed people in His Highness hesitated for a moment, but they still did not flinch to eat the Immortal Divine Pill.

After eating the elixir, everyone stood solemnly.

"Lucky boy!" The ghost king shouted at this time.

Then a long black-clothed masked man came out of the inner hall, standing respectfully, but far away from the pool of blood on the ground just now.

"The subordinates are here!" The masked man with a long and thin figure arched his hand.

"You have a meritorious service in breaking the Fanghua formation, but it's a pity that the Nirvana Temple went away with your broken formation diagram, and you still lost your troops and generals, and the Nine Secluded Underground Mansion has always had clear rewards and punishments.

As the saying goes, there is a golden house in the book, you have learned to be rich and rich, and you have the name of a fortune boy, and you will take over the Nirvana Temple in the future, and do a good job in Nirvana! "The Ghost King Road.

"Subordinates obey!" The lucky boy bowed down and said, "Thank you for the cultivation of the Ghost King!" ”

"The hall master looks like a beautiful scenery, but in fact, it is not easy to be, not only to do a good job and generate income for the Nine Secluded Mansion, but also to accept the task." Ghost King Road.

"My subordinates know." The beckoning boy said respectfully.

"You are not familiar with running a business for the time being, so you can consult the Lord of the Rebirth Hall." The Ghost King said again.

"No!" The lucky boy received orders from the ghost king.

The lucky boy, who had just been promoted to the lord of Nirvana, bowed his hand to the masked man in the shape of one of the women in the front row.

"Please give more guidance to the Lord of the Rebirth Hall in the future." The Lucky Boy's voice is young but calm and calm.

"For the sake of the Nine Secluded Underworld, it is the duty of the Rebirth Hall to help each other." The Lord of the Hall of Rebirth replied with a salute.

It was the woman's crisp voice.

Just now, everyone ate the Ghost King's Immortal Divine Pill, but this lucky boy Ghost King didn't invite him to eat, which shows that the Ghost King has a special preference for this person.

Everyone muttered in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it in the slightest.

The ghost king said to the masked woman again:

"Rebirth Hall Master, although the snake demon you sent to poison Tuoba failed before, it did not leave any flaws, leaving Tuoba without a trace.

This time, you have made up for your mistakes, and the information provided is conclusive, and Tuoba's whereabouts are indeed in the Hall of Rebirth.

It's a pity that it still fell short, and Nirvana still failed after all.

Nirvana and rebirth depend on each other, after all, the lucky boy is a new starter, Nirvana's business is cumbersome, you don't need to take on other tasks for the time being, first take the lucky boy on the right track of business. ”

"Obey the Ghost King's command!" The Lord of the Hall of Rebirth bowed.

"Old master." The Ghost King shouted.

Then a masked man stood up and arched his hand: "My subordinates are here." ”

"Tuoba may now know some information about the Nine Shadows Mansion, and the outside business is not a big deal, or a really trustworthy deal, and it must not be accepted casually.

Nirvana was reborn, and the two halls stood still for the time being.

There is a new quest in the Nine Helllands, and you have assigned the Dead Life and the Hall of Bliss to complete. "The Ghost King Road.

"Subordinates receive orders." The old master bowed and said.

"The situation is unpredictable, everyone is on standby, waiting for the king's notice anytime and anywhere." The Ghost King said again.

"Yes! ......" the crowd said again.

"Old Master, after rebirth, Bliss, Nirvana, and rebirth, their account books have all been submitted to the Nine Shadows Mansion, right?" The ghost king looked at the old master again.

"Back to the Ghost King, the account books of each hall for this quarter have been received, and the profits obtained have also been handed over." The masked old master said.

"Okay." The Ghost King nodded.

He looked at His Highness again: "I thought that the magic hand master had died a few years ago, but who knew that he had turned into an old ghost and hid in the ghost market, and also revealed the secret of the Nine Hidden Underworld to Tuoba." It was really the miscalculation caused by the benevolence of this king's thought back then! ”

The Ghost King slapped the armrest of the chair hard, his tone filled with deep remorse.

"Don't be too sad about the Ghost King, maybe Tuoba didn't get any useful information, otherwise he would have started to fight back against the Nine Hidden Underground Mansion." There is a black-clothed masked man holding his fists and listening to the voice, he is also a woman.

"I hope so!" The ghost king bowed slightly, looked at several hall masters and said, "A few hall masters, come, tell me about your business situation."

And the situation where Tuoba went to investigate thoroughly, whether he has become suspicious of you. ”

"Poisonous scorpions!" The ghost king looked at the masked woman in the Rebirth Hall just now and shouted, signaling her to report first.

"Ghost King, the Rebirth Hall has made a profit of nearly 500,000 this quarter. After removing the 230,000 yuan handed over to the treasury and making connections, the net profit was 280,000 yuan. "The Lord of the Hall of Rebirth.

"Hmm." The ghost king bowed slightly.

Seeing that the ghost king was not happy, the Lord of the Hall of Rebirth comforted:

"The ghost king is angry, even if the deserted mausoleum is destroyed, it will only damage our skin.

Our various business sites have not been exposed, and the rebirth hall under our subordinates is still full of clothes and sideburns, in full swing, and there are many distinguished guests. ”

"Good!" The ghost king said hello, and then turned to look at another person: "Golden Cicada, where are you?" ”

"Everything is going smoothly in the subordinate hall of the dead, and although the temple of Nirvana is making money every day, it is still not as good as the subordinate hall of the dead.

In the troubled times, war money is easy to make, and in the past six months, we have made a profit of more than one million, excluding the silver taels handed over to the treasury and various dots, and there is a surplus of 500,000 yuan. ”

"Good!" The Ghost King's voice was slightly pleasant, and he asked the other masked man, "Crazy lady, how are you there?" ”

"The ghost king, everything is as usual there under his subordinates, the guests are like clouds, and they sing every night.

Tuoba once took people to investigate, but found nothing.

Our core strength in Pingcheng is still standing.

The Temple of Bliss assured the Ghost King that in time, he would be able to kill Tuoba, and asked the Ghost King to relax. The masked woman's voice said.

"How profitable is the Temple of Bliss this quarter?" The Ghost King is quite concerned about the profits.

"Although there is no profit of 500,000 in the Hall of the Dead, there is also a surplus of 400,000." The masked woman said respectfully.

The Ghost King glanced around at them, and then said:

"The 80th birthday of my ancestor is approaching, and this is a good opportunity to enter the palace.

Although the hall masters are white-clothed and have no merit and fame ranks, they have money to make ghosts grind, and under the heavy money, there are naturally people who can lead the way.

No matter how much gift money the court asks, even if the profits of this season are presented to the ancestors as congratulatory gifts, they must also enter the palace birthday banquet.

Observe the emperor and Tuoba at close range, know yourself and know your opponent, and only then can you win all battles.

But remember, don't spoil the birthday feast of your ancestors, understand? ”

The four hall masters of "Nuo ......" received the order together.

The Lord of the Hall of Bliss pondered for a moment and arched his hand:

"My subordinates once heard a leader of the Nirvana Temple say that there seemed to be a woman next to Tuoba.

It seemed that Tuoba was quite protective of the woman. ”

"Oh? Crazy girl, is this news reliable?

Tuoba is almost invulnerable, invulnerable, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't get close to him and can't seduce him.

Even the snake demon released by the poisonous scorpion was wiped out. "The Ghost King Road.

"The news should be conclusive, as for whether the woman is Tuoba's weakness, it has not yet been determined." The main road of the Temple of Bliss.

The Lord of the Hall of Rebirth pondered for a moment, and also helped:

"Although Tuoba is invulnerable, he has never been confused by women.

If there is really a woman next to him, now that his subordinates think about it, he may really move Xiaochun's heart. ”

The ghost king groaned slightly, as if talking to himself:

"Tuoba has a very high vision, what kind of woman can it be that can make Tuoba Chun's heart sprout?"

After pondering for a moment, he asked the Lord of the Hall of Bliss:

"The woman next to Tuoba is some kind of princess? Those princesses and county lords are not his weakness at all. ”

"I heard that this woman is born, and the people of Nirvana have never seen it, and it seems that she is not a noble lady in the court." The Lord of the Hall of Bliss said again.

"Lord of the Hall of Bliss, you secretly investigate thoroughly to see who that woman is and whether she can become Tuoba's weakness." The ghost king's weird and empty voice said.

"Subordinates obey!" The hall master of the Hall of Bliss said respectfully.

"Now Tuoba is tightly inspected and more protected. Even if they go out again, I am afraid that they will not return.

This king doesn't want any more damage to the people of the Nine Helllands, so let your people stay in their respective dungeons first, and wait for orders anytime and anywhere! The Ghost King said in a strange and empty voice.

"Yes! ......" everyone bowed.

The Ghost King paused for a moment, and then instructed again:

"Each of your houses has your dungeon house.

The Nine Secluded Underground Mansion is secret, and only the master of the promoted hall is qualified to enter, and the outside world still does not know that there is a ghost king.

Keep your mouth shut, and know what will happen if anyone leaks it! ”

"Even if the subordinates are full of liver and brains, they will not reveal any secrets of the Nine Hells Mansion and the Ghost King!" Everyone crawled down the road.

"Alright, stand down." The ghost king waved his hand lightly, and everyone dispersed.

The lucky boy did not leave for a while, and after the rest of the people left, he followed the ghost king and entered the inner hall.

The interior sanctuary is as luxurious as the imperial study of the Imperial Palace. The bookshelves of yellow rosewood are decorated with priceless treasures.

Behind the bookshelf are eight boxwood screens, carved with fireworks and willows in the south of the Yangtze River, and small bridges and flowing waters.

Behind the screen, there is a large and comfortable couch where you can rest.

In the center of the resplendent wall is a large dragon case and a wide dragon chair in front.

The ghost king did not sit in the dragon chair.

Entering the inner hall, the Lucky Boy actually landed on the seat in the center, while the Ghost King only sat on the seat in front of the dragon chair.

The lucky boy reversed the respect and respect in the main hall just now, and his status was above the ghost king.

Under the face covered by the lucky boy, there was no trace of expression, but his tone was wrapped in ice, bitterly cold, and there was a cold current in the air, as if he was blaming the ghost king:

"The ghost king should have cut down the grass and eradicated the roots back then, and there should not be a trace of hidden dangers.

One son is wrong, and the whole plate is lost!

Since Tuoba was able to leave two bags of gold for the old ghost, he might have already gotten an important clue.

I don't know if the magic craftsman told Tuoba the secrets of the Nine Hidden Underworlds.

If Tuoba knows about these Nine Secluded Mansions, wouldn't our years of hard work be in vain?! ”

"It was the negligence of this king, I thought that the magic craftsman ate the poison and would definitely die, but I didn't expect him to survive and hide in the dark and damp ghost cave of the ghost market, escaped, and was found by Tuoba!" The Ghost King was ashamed and remorseful.

The lucky boy snorted coldly, quite dissatisfied with the ghost king's mistakes.

The Ghost King paused for a moment, and then said:

"Although this Nine Hidden Underworld Mansion was designed by a skilled craftsman, he was disabled and poisoned back then, so he shouldn't be able to give Tuoba any news.

For now, we can only wait and see what happens, and closely monitor Tuoba's every move.

Once it is discovered that he has the possibility of spying on the Nine Secluded Underground Mansions, even if the main force of the Four Halls is dispatched, he will be killed! ”

The cold snap in the air has warmed up.

The beckoning boy pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, it seems that there are some plans that should be made." ”

Ghost King Road:

"It's a pity that the palace is heavily guarded, and if you want to intercept and kill Tuoba Tao in the palace, it is not easy, so you can only lure him out of the palace.

However, no matter how many plans are made, they have to wait for the birthday of the ancestors before they are put into action. ”

"Okay, the Ghost King will go and contact your two old friends." Lucky Boy Road.

Then he got up and quietly left from the secret passage of the inner sanctum.
