When Zhang Yan and the five arrived in Nanjing, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening. Zhang Ju looked at the direction of the Zhangjia Building, where it was pitch black, and the building that had stood for thousands of years had long since disappeared. He was flustered in his heart, his face was solemn, and his eyes were firmly fixed in the direction of Zhangjia Street. The voice was a little low: "Something is wrong!" Zhang's buildings are gone! Let's hurry over! ”

Zhang Yan looked puzzled and said, "Zhang's building? ”

Zhang Ju nodded, turned his head to look at him, and said with eagerness on his face: "Yes! In the Zhang family's mansion, there is a thousand-year-old building, with a total of nine floors, and the whole building is brightly lit at night. Here you can see the towering old building at a glance, but now there is nothing there, something must have happened! ”

Su Ce behind him spoke: "Go!" ”

After a while, the five of them came to the sky above the Zhang family's compound, Zhang Yan looked down, and there was a flat land under his feet, surrounded by red walls, which was a rectangular flat land in an east-west direction. Some stone foundations are faintly visible in front of the wall on the west side of the flat land.

In front of the fence on the north side, there are three rectangular foundations of exactly the same size, which extend to the middle of the compound. There are also three identical rectangular foundations on the south side, with the foundation in front of the western wall spanning between the north and south walls. In the middle of these foundations, there is a pavilion, which is the only building left here. In the middle to the east, there is a square foundation, about forty meters wide.

On either side of this foundation, there are two arc-shaped roads. In the middle of the eastern wall, a closed gate can be faintly visible. Zhang Ju looked at the scene in front of him, speechless for a while, his eyes were full of surprise, his heart was full of incomprehension, and his face was panicked. Xu Yuling looked at the hand holding him, and said comfortingly: "Zhang Ju! Calm down, let's go down and see what happens! ”

Zhang Ju looked at her and nodded. The group then flew downwards and landed in the courtyard a few seconds later. Zhang Yan and Su Xiao got off the backs of Zhang Ju and Su Ce respectively. The five of them stood on the ground, looking at everything in front of them, Zhang Ju looked uneasy, and said with an unbelievable look in his eyes: "All the houses have disappeared, leaving only one foundation!" What kind of power does it take to do this? Did everyone in the Zhang family disappear with the house? ”

Zhang Yan looked at all this and said with a puzzled expression: "I just looked at the foundation, and the one in the middle should be the building, a total of eleven." If it disappears overnight, this is big news, is there any major news in Nanjing these days? ”

Hearing his question, Su Xiao hurriedly took out his mobile phone, opened the mobile phone browser, and entered the address of Baidu's homepage. Then type the words "Nanjing News" into the search bar, and the entries listed below the search bar do not contain any news related to Zhangjia Street. She flipped back a few pages, but there was no news about it. She looked at Zhang Yan, her face was solemn, and she replied, "There is no relevant news!" ”

Zhang Yan said with a strange face: "This is strange! How can something so big happen that doesn't go on the news? ”

Su Ce on the side was also strange: "Brother Yan is right! This is the strangest place, and the neighbors around this compound are not aware of it? ”

Zhang Ju had the same question in his heart, and then he had an idea, concentrating part of his power in his eyes, and his pupils instantly turned red. He looked up at everything around him, just like his usual pupils saw. Then he took a step and ran forward, and in one breath he passed through all the foundations, leaving nothing in his way.

His face sank, and he said: "I just looked through the red pupils, and found that it is no different from what everyone sees, the foundation can be passed casually, and it seems that the building has indeed disappeared!" ”

Xu Yuling was a little unrelenting, and her pupils turned red, looking around, it was indeed as Zhang Ju said. She looked puzzled and said, "This is amazing!" ”

Suddenly, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, and he said: "Since it is not on the news, then we will stay in this neighborhood for one night, and wait until tomorrow, we will come over to see the situation and ask the neighbors nearby." ”

Zhang Ju nodded and said, "This is the best way, then let's find a place to live tonight, and then make a decision after coming over tomorrow!" ”

They had just taken two steps when Zhang Yan suddenly spoke: "Xiaoxiao! Didn't you remember my dad's number? You call one and try it! ”

Su Xiao nodded, then turned on his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Xin's number, and there was a beeping sound on the phone. Everyone stared at Su Xiao, their faces were a little nervous and a little expectant. More than forty seconds later, the familiar prompt sound came from the mobile phone: "Your call is temporarily unanswered, please dial again later!" ”

Zhang Yan's heart sank, his brows were tightly locked, with a thoughtful expression, and then he began to analyze: "My father's mobile phone is not in the compound, so there are two situations. In the first case, if he came here, the building had not disappeared. Then he must have disappeared with everyone in the clan, so the phone must have disappeared with the building. As a result, the building is located where the signal can reach, and for some reason, he can't answer the phone. ”

After a pause, he continued, "In the second case, he came with the same thing we saw, and he might have the same doubts as we did. Then leave here for a while, waiting for an opportunity to check the situation here, and the phone will not be in the courtyard. In this case, he should be able to answer the phone, unless he gets into some trouble and drops his phone! ”

Su Ce listened to his analysis, and then said: "No matter what kind of situation it is now, we are like looking for a needle in a haystack, let's wait for tomorrow to see the situation!" ”

Everyone nodded and walked out of the wall, Zhang Ju was preoccupied, and sighed in his heart: "Now I can only pin my hope on tomorrow, I hope there will be some clues tomorrow!" ”

In the dormitory of the king of the underworld, there are everlasting lamps burning at the four corners, and there is a round marble table in the room, surrounded by four chairs, also marble. The table was covered with a cyan tablecloth embroidered with a phoenix flying with wings. There are two wine glasses and a white ceramic wine jug on it, the spout is in the shape of a dragon head, and the body of the jug is carved with a dragon body, circle and circle. The handle is engraved with a dragon's tail, and the whole dragon seems to hover over the body of the pot.

Hades and the man sat facing each other, and he stretched out his right hand to pick up the jug, filled the two glasses on the table, and then put the jug down. Then he stretched out his left hand and handed it to the man with the cup on his right hand in both hands. With a smile on his face, he said, "Red Emperor! Let's try the immortal wine of the underworld! ”

The Red Emperor was dressed in a fiery red coat, with long black hair, a dark red hosta on his head, long temples on his shoulders, and hair on his back like a waterfall. He was magnificent, with a red flame mark on his forehead. Under the strong one-line eyebrows, a pair of piercing eyes, a somewhat high nose, and a slightly thick upper lip.

He stretched out his right hand and took the wine glass, and a smile flashed on his face, "Okay! ”

Then Hades picked up the wine glass and said to him, "Red Emperor! For the sake of our common goal, this toast! ”

He smiled and said, "Good! The days of the Jade Emperor's happy life are not long gone! ”

The two of them drank it all, and the Red Emperor put down his wine glass and blurted out: "Good wine!" ”

Seeing this, the king of Hades lifted the wine jug, filled the two cups again, and then said, "This immortal wine is not small! ”

The Red Emperor looked curious and said, "Let's hear it!" ”

The king of Hades recalled the peach festival in Kunlun Mountain that year, and said slowly: "After catching you back then, I made a great contribution, and the Queen Mother of the West gave me three peaches and nine ginseng fruits. I fermented them with the best sorghum for 9981 days, and then steamed it for 7749 days to make this wine. I've never been willing to drink it, and now it's been in the cellar for 10,000 years! ”

The Red Emperor laughed, then picked up the wine glass on the table and put it to his mouth, smelled it, then drank it all, and then said: "I didn't expect that this is still the cause planted ten thousand years ago, and today I can taste such a good wine, everything is providential!" After saying that, he burst out laughing again.

Hades also took his glass, drank heartily, and said, "Yes! The world is impermanent, who would have thought that ten thousand years later, we would be able to gather together and crusade against the Jade Emperor! ”

The Red Emperor looked at him and said seriously, "When are we going to attack the Heavenly Realm?" ”

Hades said calmly: "Don't worry! You should go to the fifth level of Hell first and see your old friends! We still need to wait, wait for the judge and Zhong Kui to come back from Zhou Shan, maybe when the time comes, we will have one more right-hand man! ”

Emperor Chi frowned, and said with some worry on his face: "I was the main force in the death of the Gonggong back then, will Julong refuse to cooperate with us?" ”

Hades said with a confident face: "Definitely, at that time, you were just like me, obeying the orders of the Jade Emperor, and the initiator was always the Jade Emperor!" I wrote a letter for them to bring with me, and if Julong read it, he would understand our minds! ”

After saying that, Hades poured him another wine, and the two continued to drink. The two drank for a while, and after the Red Emperor drank the wine in the cup, he said happily: "That's good!" Then go to the fifth layer of hell now, it's time to meet them, it's ten thousand years in the blink of an eye! ”

Hades nodded, and then spoke, "Good! I'll go with you, the gates of hell are not people from hell, even if you give you the order to open the door, it's useless! ”

The Red Emperor stood up from his chair, looked at him and said, "I'm tired!" ”

Hades also stood up from his chair, then waved his hand and said, "It should be!" ”

Then the two walked towards the gate of the dormitory, and the shadow of black and white impermanence suddenly appeared in the king of Hades's mind, and he wondered in his heart: "Black and white impermanence has been in the world for four or five days, why haven't you come back?" There can't be any accidents, right? ”

Then he continued in his heart: "I don't know how Buzhou Mountain is doing now? The big war is coming, I hope everything goes well! ”

In the hinterland of Buzhou Mountain, Zhong Kui and Cui Fujun were sucked into the cave, all the way down, I don't know how long, and finally came to a dark secret room. There was no light in the secret room at all, Cui Fujun sealed his hands, and a faint green flame came out of his fingertips. The dark chamber lit up suddenly, and they were greeted by a stone bed, leaning against the wall, with nothing on it, but clean, as if it had been cleaned regularly.

Cui Fujun looked down at the ground, the ground was also very clean, and it was paved with a layer of stones, the same material as the stone that Zhong Kui held in his hand at the top of the mountain. Then he looked around, this secret room is not big, about twenty square meters. It is surrounded by native rock walls, and the space seems to have been dug out of the rock wall.

The walls are carved with patterns, from top to bottom, like a river, with river water flowing inside, and on both sides of the river, there are bursts of splash. Cui Fujun pointed to the river on the wall and said to Zhong Kui: "Zhong Kui! Look, there are similar rivers carved into the walls around here! ”

Zhong Kui turned his head and looked in the direction he pointed, sure enough, it was a river, Zhong Kui looked at the river and said, "This looks like the Yellow River, right?" ”

Cui Fujun said with surprise on his face: "Hearing you say this, it's really quite similar!" ”

There was nothing in this chamber except the patterns on the walls and the stone bed. Zhong Kui suddenly spoke: "Judge! Did you notice that there are no windows or doors here! ”

Cui Fujun looked around again, and there was indeed no door on the four walls, and there was no door above his head. He was a little surprised on his face, and said with a strange look in his eyes: "It's true, there is no door!" Let's see if we can get out, the door is also a decoration for us anyway! ”

Zhong Kui nodded, and then the two of them sealed and walked towards the wall in front of them. As soon as the body reached the wall, it was bounced back. They didn't give up, they tried it up and down, left and right, and the result was still the same. Zhong Kui said with some helplessness on his face: "Could it be that this is Julong's prison?" ”

Cui Fujun agreed: "It's really possible!" But this sentence dragon really has some ability, I think he can't get out of the ghosts and gods of the three realms of prison! ”

Zhong Kui's face was a little incredulous: "Yes! If he can really cooperate with Hades, then we are truly a tiger with wings! But how do we see him in such a situation? ”

Cui Fujun sighed and said, "Since we are already his prisoners, we can only wait for him to come to us." Since he has arrested us, he will definitely come to us, otherwise why don't you kill us outside, why bother to lock me up here! ”

Zhong Kui nodded, and said with some admiration on his face: "Your analysis is reasonable, then let's wait!" ”

I don't know how long later, a figure suddenly appeared in the secret room and said, "Who are you?" How will you know here? What are you doing here? ”

Cui Fujun and Zhong Kui turned to look at this person at the same time, and Zhong Kui was shocked in his heart: "When did this person come?" I didn't feel it! ”

Cui Fujun was overjoyed: "Sure enough, someone will come!" ”

Then he smiled and said slowly: "We are Cui Fujun and Zhong Kui, the judges of the underworld, we know this place through the book of life and death, and we are here to obey the orders of the king of Hades!" ”

The man frowned, and said with some strangeness in his heart: "Hades? Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace! ”

He then spoke: "I don't have anything to do with the underworld here, do I?" What does Hades want? ”

Cui Fujun took out a letter from his arms, handed it to him and said, "After reading this letter, you will understand the intentions of the king of Hades."

He took the envelope, opened it, read it carefully, and said thoughtfully: "I need to think about this, I have to bother the two of you to stay here for a few more days, you come with me!" ”

I saw that the man waved his right hand, and a blue light covered the three of them at the same time, and then he exerted force on his legs, and the three of them disappeared in an instant. The chamber fell silent, and then fell into darkness.
