Chapter Forty-Eight: A Page of Life and Death
"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you," I asked in my heart as I turned to the dazed Pitiful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What?" Yu Pian was stunned for a moment and asked.
"That's ......," I thought about it, and pointed to my plump chest with a little embarrassment, and muttered, "What did you take out of that light curtain before?" ”
Judging by what Youren did and the reaction of the three ghosts, that thing was too important, so I wanted to figure out what it was.
If that thing was used to support the light curtain, then I think I could guess what it was.
Mercy was silent for a moment before reaching in and pulling out the black page.
As soon as the black paper came out, the whole room was instantly filled with ubiquitous yin qi, and the temperature dropped in an instant, which made me shiver.
"This is ......" Xu Changtian's face changed, looking at the black paper, speechless.
The bandits are normal, and they seem to have turned rosy when they see this thing.
"A page in the Book of Life and Death?" My pupils widened slightly, and I said what was in my heart.
Yu Lian nodded and put the black paper away.
"You should be glad that my judgment was right at that time," Yu Lian sighed lightly and said, "The Ten Halls of Hades will definitely not easily hand over the entire Book of Life and Death to black and white impermanence, and blame me for being too vigilant."
"Is this just a piece of paper that maintains the light curtain?" I frowned and asked, "Is there something ......?" ”
I wasn't that accurate in my concept of the Book of Life and Death, but I was really surprised by the reaction of the three ghosts.
You Lian shook her head at me, and she said, "This thing has existed since the formation of the Three Realms and Six Realms, and I can't explain what it is useful for."
I nodded as if I didn't understand, anyway, most of Youpian's words were credible, after all, she also worked hard to save our lives, so don't be too entangled.
"It's going to be useful, trust me," Yu Ren smiled and comforted me.
I nodded, and then I was speechless, and we all lay down on our beds and closed our eyes.
……
After a night's rest, Xu Changtian and I walked out of the hotel with Youpian and wanted to explore the situation in the city.
You Mercy explained to me that the ghost gate was originally closed after the Midyear Festival and would not open until the next year, but this year is the only time it needs to be open.
This is because there may be unspeakable things happening, and the second is that this year is the last term of office of the Ten Palaces of Yama, and it is the day to celebrate together.
It's a ghost cha who can't stay in the yang world for too long, but it's not easy for her to go back, because she snatched a page of the book of life and death, and without the permission of the Hades Palace, it is estimated that she has been listed as a fugitive by the four major ghosts at this time.
I've always been curious about her identity, after all, how ordinary can a person who can be on par with black and white impermanence?
But she always played dumb riddles with me, and even when I used Uncle Lou's clichés, she kept her mouth shut.
I had no choice but to put away my curiosity and follow her mood.
She is the underworld of the underworld, and no one will see her when she walks in the world, except for special people like us, and people from Buddhism and Taoism who really understand the Fa.
The city is still very calm, but there seem to be fewer vendors on the road, and the streets are not so lively and deserted.
Maybe it's not surprising that there aren't so many tourists because of the arrival of the off-season.
"As soon as the Midyear Festival arrived, the temples and Taoist temples here closed their doors, and the local people were not allowed to visit at all," Xu Changtian said beside me.
"The local temple and Taoist temple are closed, but they are ushered in from other places?" I asked.
Along the way, I met many groups of monks and Taoists, more than when I first came, almost replacing the crowd in civilian clothes.
"Yes" Xu Changtian touched his chin and said, "I don't know why, the local government doesn't restrict the flow of people, and even the security check at the city gate has been removed, just like ......"
After that, he paused, "It's like all the Taoist monks from outside have evacuated this city overnight."
"Obviously this is not a good sign," I said helplessly, "and it looks like the deployment has begun."
As soon as I finished speaking, the Mercy who was walking beside me suddenly hummed and looked to the side.
"What's wrong?" I asked quickly, her every move almost tugging at my heartstrings.
Yu Lian's face began to change, and he didn't pay attention to me, just looked at the building on the side, then looked up at the sky, and said, "Not good! ”
"What's wrong?" I listened to it in a fog, and she always liked to play dumb riddles.
"Isn't this place exactly like the architecture of a ghost town?" You Lian turned his head to Xu Changtian and asked.
Xu Changtian was a little nervous, but he also knew that something was wrong, so he said carefully: "No, in recent years, due to the significant economic growth, most of the residential areas in the city have been transformed into modern buildings, and the streets are also, so basically you can't see the scenery of the ancient city, except for some of the more famous landscapes that have not been changed, and have been preserved by the local government and the people."
"Reserved?" Yu Pian's pupils shrank, "Huangquan Road too?" ”
"Yes" Xu Changtian nodded seriously, "Not only that, but also Nai He Bridge, and ......"
Youlian waved his hand directly, with anger on his face, and said: "You Taoist monks simply don't know whether to live or die, back then, the relatives of the husband and the monarch announced that they would destroy all the venues in the city that matched the ghost city, but I didn't expect it to be retained by you now, you are greedy, you are stupid, but you don't know that it is a big mistake to leave these things!" ”
Xu Changtian was a little red-faced by Youlian's words, and he was silent for a while before retorting: "But those places have been sealed by the powerful local Dao Masters and Abbots, it shouldn't be a big deal."
"I know this time," Yu Lian sighed lightly, "The seal is just a cover, there are always some people with evil intentions who want to take advantage of this deception to deceive the world"
I listened to their conversation, my mind became a mess, and the sympathetic reaction seemed to be a little excessive, but what I said made me feel that the situation was serious, with her usual appearance, she was not so excited in the face of black and white impermanence, and now when she heard about the affairs of Xudu, she was emotionally unstable.
"Six Heavenly Ghost King, Eight Ghost Handsome"
I remembered what Xuanling had handed over to me, and my heart became even more restless, and Youlian had probably guessed what kind of things were locked up in the city.
Back then, Zhang Tianshi was famous in the first battle here, and with his ability, he could only seal those terrifying things, and they could not be destroyed, resulting in the remnants to this day.
Could it be that these superficially kind monks and Taoists really want to turn this capital city upside down?
