Chapter 56: The Post Road

Nangong Ming came downstairs after changing her clothes and saw Yu Ai leaning on the bicycle, and the street lamp above her head shrouded her in the same aura as the bicycle. www.biquge.info Yu Ai was raising her head and looking at the moths lingering under the lamp with interest.

"Get in the car!" Yu Ai patted the bicycle mat magnificently, and the tone was on par with that of the owner of a luxury car.

"Why am I carrying it again?"

"Are you embarrassed to let a girl carry you?"

"You're counted too?" Nangong Ming clearly remembers the scene where he was thrown around by Yu Ai in mid-air, and all kinds of signs show that Yu Ai is definitely no worse than a male strongman.

"Less nonsense......" A green light seemed to flash in Yu Ai's eyes, and Nangong Ming trembled, and he gave in.

The road is lined with expensive and luxurious cars, and a Jiefang bicycle passes through it, which looks particularly unusual, and pedestrians on the road cast curious or admiring glances. Nangong Ming focused on these gazes, only feeling that his face was hot, but Yu Ai still had an indecent attitude, swinging his feet, raising his head, holding something in the air with both hands, and showing Nangong Ming the way without saying a word.

"What are you doing?" Nangong Ming inadvertently glanced back.

"Tidy up the light." Yu Ai said matter-of-factly.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally!"

“……”

Nangong Ming turned his head slightly, thinking that he would see Yu Ai flipping the light wrapped in his hand like flipping a flower rope. However, seeing Yu Ai's hands stretched straight to the sky, her five fingers spread and motionless, her eyes staring at them intently, it was more like a spell than a weaving.

The night wind gently caressed the skin, blowing the clothes and stirring up the black hair. Bicycles in large and small streets and alleys, several times Nangong Ming thought that he would hit a dead end, only to find that there was a big road outside, even Yu Ai was surprised. Nangong Ming found that the scenery on the road was different from when he came, so he guessed that Yu Ai must be pointing the way again.

Suddenly, while turning from a narrow alley into a two-way street, a strong sense of strangeness hit Nangong. After a few seconds, Nangong Ming knew what that strange feeling was all about.

Peaceful, absolutely quiet.

Looking around, there was not a single person on such a wide road, not even the little insect that liked to fly around the street light. Not only that, but the neon lights of the store stopped flashing, the splashes of water hung in the air, and the air stopped flowing.

Time stopped on this road.

Yu Ai jumped off the bike. Although Nangong was very curious about why this happened, the lessons of recent months had taught him that the stranger the phenomenon, the more dangerous it was.

He wanted to remind Yu Ai to leave quickly, but Yu Ai stood in the middle of the road, his hand in the air as if he was caressing something intangible.

"This is the post road." Yu Ai concluded.

"Post Road?"

"Well, I've seen it once before. Anything that needs to be transported between the Netherworld Office and the Netherworld must first be delivered to the ferry through the post road, and then sent to the Netherworld through the ferry. The post roads are generally very hidden, and even if the people are transported, they can only get the route on the day, so it can be said that the degree of secrecy is very high. ”

Nangong Ming looked around, thinking that he would see clues of the netherworld, but what he saw was no different from the scenery of the human world. So he asked.

"The post road is actually a kind of enchantment." Yu Ai said, "Isolate the factors that do not want to be affected, and superimpose a spatial slice on the basis of the original world, and although the two spaces are the same, they do not affect each other. ”

"In that case, what is going on here now?"

"Maybe the people who set up the barrier thought that they wouldn't meet the underworld people who happened to pass by in the human world, and they didn't set up a defense against the underworld."

"But I'm not Hades, am I?"

"If you can pull out the broken moon, it must have something to do with the underworld."

Nangong Ming still wanted to speak, but Yu Ai stretched out her hand to block it, she listened with her ears sideways, and her eyes looked at the street in front of her.

"Did you hear anything?"

"Sort of, boom, boom...... Will anyone ride a horse on the road? ”

"Stupid! Where is your attention? ”

The sound of galloping horses' hooves drew nearer, and the street stretched into the distance without any movement. Suddenly, Nangong Ming and Yu Ai realized at the same time that their eyes were on the same side of the street, so they turned around hesitantly.

A cavalry squad was rushing towards them with ferocity, black horses the size of baby elephants spewing scorching steam from their nostrils, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed in front of them.

"Coffin!"

The coffin was like a road spike, splitting the whole team in the middle. Nangong Ming and Yu Ai hid behind the royal coffin, watching countless huge horses' hooves of astonishing strength gallop past them.

Immediately after, as if receiving orders at the same time, the entire cavalry team stopped in front of them, and turned to face Nangong Ming and Yu Ai. The cavalrymen were invariably dressed in rusty armor, and the cloak behind them was tattered. The helmet covered his face, and the soldier could not be seen, but a steady stream of steam was coming out of the cracks in the armor.

Yu Ai whispered: "It's a dead army, ready to fight."

Nangong Ming was secretly surprised, his hand held the hilt of the broken moon, and the stone hand of the imperial coffin let go of the blade, and with a "whew", the imperial coffin retracted into the ground.

As soon as the coffin disappeared, Nangong Ming could see the scene behind him, which made him gasp. He and Yu Ai were surrounded by two groups of cavalry in the middle (to be precise, the two of them broke into the middle of the cavalry regiment), and the cavalry behind them was sandwiched between a carriage, and the tall horse sitting in front of the carriage looked like the commander of this group of cavalry.

He was twice as large as the other cavalrymen, and his armor was stronger and more refined than theirs, except for the fact that it was also covered in rust. In his left hand, he held a machete the size of an airplane propeller, and his body was steaming reddish.

The general took a few steps forward, looking down at the doggy-like two in front of him from behind the peeping mask.

"Who are you waiting for, dare to stand in my way?" His voice sounded like the roar of an old tractor engine that had been used for decades.

Yu Ai stepped forward, stared up at the hollowness of the general's eyes on his mask, and asked, "Who are you?" What to do in the human world? ”

The general didn't expect that such a small person in front of him was not only not afraid to see him, but also talked to him in such a big tone, which made him feel funny. said: "I am the Netherworld Imperial Seal Five-Rank Liberation Officer, and I am ordered by the horse leader to escort important things back to the Yin Cao."

"It turned out to be just a little five-pin." Yu Ai scoffed.

The general was furious, "Presumptuous! Since you can enter this post road, it means that you are also underworld. However, you don't look like a special envoy, at most you are only smugglers, and there is a reward for catching stowaways. When I meet the general today, it's the end of your birthday......"

As soon as the general gave the order, the cavalry on the left and right immediately stepped forward and surrounded the two in the middle.

Yu Ai's eyes turned green in an instant.

The general laughed when he saw it, and said, "If you dare to block the post road with green eyes, why do you have to be more than half blue, right?" ”

Nangong Ming didn't understand any green eyes and blue eyes, and looked at the general and then at Yu Ai with a confused expression. The general saw Nangong Ming's expression from a distance and laughed even louder.

Yu Ai said: "The level of the underworld's ability is distinguished by the power in the body through the color of the light that overflows from the eyes. Green, blue, gold, and red, increasing in strength step by step. The ordinary eye is called the original eye, which is the lowest form, and the power in the body cannot yet react to the eye. One level higher than the normal eye is the semi-green eye, that is, the power is able to react in one eye, and one eye turns green. Further up is double green, the eyes all turn green, then half blue, double blue...... And so on. With each level, the strength required is doubled, and those who can reach the True Gold Twin Pupils are very rare, and there are no more than a hundred people in the entire underworld. To reach the red gold vision, that is, one red and one gold, except for a few princes with noble bloodlines and a hundred battles, only the Emperor of the Underworld was born with red gold vision. Words with red eyes......"

Yu Ai paused, as if she was about to tell a very terrifying story.
