Chapter 1: The Mysterious Old Man

In this way, Licorice and I, together with the unconscious Azuo, took turns carrying him on our backs, talking and laughing along the way, playing and making trouble, not as boring and lonely as before in the underworld, this way down, crossed the stone bridge, stepped on the stream, it is hard to imagine that the scenery in the underworld is so beautiful, it can be called a paradise.

I also told Licorice that the current location should be the North Gate, maybe there will be the East Gate, or the West Gate, although this is just speculation, but Licorice also joked with me, you have read too many myths and stories, and you urgently need to drink some horse urine to replenish your brain.

Sometimes things are so coincidental, as soon as Cao Cao is mentioned, Cao Cao arrives, and at a glance in front, there is really a horse grazing under a tree, and this horse is still very familiar, blue flames wrap around its body, take a closer look, it is really a little stubborn donkey.

Hearing me say this, Licorice didn't understand it for a while, looked left, looked right, and kept shouting, how can there be a donkey? Where is there a donkey?

"I'm talking about the horse in front of me." I gestured to the foal grazing in front of me.

At this time, Licorice reacted at once, and kept saying that I was making a fuss, the horse is a horse, what a donkey, I was scared to death by the baby, and I didn't want to be entangled with him in such a small matter, so I walked in front of the horse, and the horse saw me, and deliberately came up to add his face, as if he suddenly became very obedient.

So he put Azoto on the back of the little stubborn donkey and horse, which was much easier, but at first we didn't discuss where to go, saying that it was in the underworld, homeless, and it didn't matter where we went, as long as we didn't get caught by the dwarf again.

Along the way, we also met a Taoist who traveled all over the world, and the Taoist asked us where we came from and where we were going. Licorice and I were worried about causing unnecessary trouble again, so we made a grimace and pretended to be paralyzed, and said to the Taoist: "We have come from the far and far west, and we have gone to the very beautiful east. ”

But the Taoist didn't eat this set at all, and at a glance he saw through that the two of us were wanted criminals in the underworld, and they were being wanted by the dwarfs, which scared the two of us to kneel and beg for mercy, begging the Taoist not to denounce us, and to repay him well in the future.

When the Taoist saw the situation in front of him, he said, "If I really wanted to report you, I wouldn't have seen you to your face. ”

Seeing that the Taoist had no malicious intent, the two of us stood up from the ground one after another, and the Taoist also told us that the underworld was in chaos, and the Spirit Emperor had no way He didn't know, and the lonely souls and wild ghosts were suffering, and he saw it, and persuaded us to quickly escape from this place of right and wrong.

After the Taoist finished speaking, he turned and left, and disappeared without a trace, and Licorice also gave him the nickname of the mysterious old man.

After a while, Licorice and I came to a place with deep ravines and high barriers, high mountains, mountains and mountains are connected, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the green leaves are fluttering in the breeze, and the clear stream is trickling under the sand and stones, just like a painting, if you don't see it with your own eyes, I can't believe that this is in the underworld.

In this way, he hid in a deep place, and buried a small village in it, surrounded by wooden stakes, built into a rudimentary wall, and some scattered oni could be seen patrolling around, and there were two onicha standing guard at the central gate.

After trekking all the way through the mountains and rivers, I finally came to a place where I could leave my feet, and when I came to the city gate, I turned my head and asked licorice, do you still have any money on you? Licorice shook her head and said that you have asked twice, and you really don't have a penny.

I looked back at the little stubborn donkey again, and found that it had a treasure chest on its horseback, and I noticed it before, isn't this the gold and silver treasure that the dwarf gave to Xiao Zhu before, and also sent a letter saying that I would bring it to Xiao Zhu, but I didn't expect it to be placed on the back of the little stubborn donkey after so long.

Take down the treasure chest and open it to see, we are both stunned, there are golden ingots, jade jade bracelets, silver rings, all kinds of jewelry, each of which looks priceless, this dwarf is really a rich man, and he is such a precious thing to give away.

Licorice was still smiling and laughing on the side, saying that we are developed, there are so many treasures, we must enjoy it after entering the city, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and at the same time I also told Licorice to wake up, it would be good to have a place to rest in such a humble city, how could there be so many entertainment places.

Then, taking some leaves from the ground, making a simple veil and covering our faces, the two of us went together to the gate of the city, and the demon who was guarding the gate saw it, and came up to stop us both, and motioned for us to stop.

I immediately made a look with licorice, and asked him to take out some treasures to bribe, these ghosts have a common problem, that is, greed, recognize money and do not recognize people, the ghost took the gold ingots, looked carefully, and looked at the back in turn, the expression on his face was a little shocked, and returned the money to us, did not dare to accept the money, only said: "Two adults, please come in." ”

Although we didn't know what the situation was, we still entered the city smoothly, and asked Licorice to take out the gold ingot just now, to see if there was anything special, and took it over to take a closer look, only to find that the back of the gold ingot was printed, "Necromancy." Two words.

Licorice also felt very strange, saying that this gold ingot was too magical, as if it had magical powers, but he knew very well in his heart that the reason why the ghosts did not dare to accept this ingots was because this ingots were taken from the hands of the dwarfs.

After entering the city, I was completely dumbfounded by the scene in front of us, all the walls were plastered with signs of arresting us, and there were several portraits of people on them, including me and licorice, and there were two portraits next to them who also looked very young, but they couldn't recognize who they were.

In addition, not far away, you can see a lot of people doing coolies, each of them has several sacks on their shoulders, and there are several ghosts around who are whipping them constantly, telling them to hurry up, don't grind and chirp.

One of them seemed to be physically exhausted, and he fell to the ground at once, and several nearby ghosts saw it, so they rushed up, holding the whip in his hand and constantly pumping him, seeing the man fall to the ground and screaming, several ghosts kept scolding, "Get up for Lao Tzu, don't play dead." ”

The little stubborn donkey behind him also stopped at once, and no matter how much he pulled it, he didn't go forward, so he had to tie it to the spot, pick up Azo from the horse, and find a corner with licorice to go around.

Out of this corner, there happened to be an inn in front, and the two of them helped Azuo, and discussed finding a place to leave his feet first, and settling him down, and it would be much easier to move in the future.

This time, he didn't take out the gold ingot again, but discussed it in advance, took out a gold ring without any mark from the treasure chest, stuffed it into the shopkeeper, and said, "Live in the store." ”

The shopkeeper took a closer look at the ring on his hand, and the expression on his face became ugly, seeing his expression, he thought that there was something unique on the ring, and he found that there was a problem, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper to suddenly come and say: "Guest officer, the store is too small to find it." ”

Hearing this, both of us breathed a sigh of relief, and replied to Xiao Er: "It's okay, it's yours if you have more, just come to the three upper rooms." ”

After Xiao Er heard this, he smiled on his face, and immediately ran to the front, and took us to the upstairs guest room, all the way upstairs, Licorice also pulled me down, and asked if this inn was too lonely, why there was no one, and I found that something was not quite right at that time, so I asked Xiao Er.

According to Xiao Er's reaction, the lonely souls and wild ghosts in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages were all captured by the ghosts to do conscription, as long as they were able to work, none of them were spared, and they were all arrested, sometimes even the old people and children were not spared, especially the people who had just died and came to the underworld, this kind of people were generally called new harvests, this kind of people must be caught whenever they meet, and the clothes they wear are very peculiar, just like the clothes we both wear, so there will be so few people in the inn.

Then Xiao Er continued: "I think the two of them are very generous, it seems that they were also high-ranking officials and nobles before their deaths, so they don't have to worry about it, they can escape the disaster with a little bribe when they see the ghost." ”

Xiao Er walked all the way, while telling us what happened here, until we were all brought into the guest room, then turned around and left, the guest room is also very simple, except for a wooden bed and a table, almost no luxuries are seen, according to Xiao Er's reaction This is the best room in the store, but seeing the situation in front of me, I really want to know what the worst guest room looks like, it will not be the same as a pigsty.

Licorice also kept complaining on the side, what kind of sin was made, just this broken place, not as luxurious as the toilet at home, it can also be called a room. I had no choice but to persuade: "Come on, I can't help it, if you come, you will be safe." ”

After a while, Azuo was placed in a guest room by us, and Xiao Er also knocked on the door with some food, water and wine and sent it in, I couldn't believe the life in the underworld, it was the same as the life before my life, there was wine, meat, and tea, and licorice also took a closer look and asked if this meat could be eaten.

I replied, "If you don't eat it, I'll eat it." So they devoured it, and when they were full, they fell asleep.

The next day, Licorice and I were in the guest room discussing what to do in the future, whether to use the money in the treasure chest to find a way to buy a house of our own, marry a daughter-in-law, and live like this, or continue to run away and live a life of outlaw, because we are currently wanted criminals, and staying in one place for a long time is easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, a Taoist rushed in at the door, this Taoist was the mysterious old man he met on the road before, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to us: "The Spirit Emperor has no way, cruels living beings, oppresses the people, and heaven and earth do not tolerate it." ”

Licorice shouted, "Xiao Wei, look, mysterious old man." Licorice pointed to the door, I just reacted, turned to look at the door, the Taoist walked in front of us step by step, told us that this place should not stay for a long time, we should leave quickly, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster.

This Taoist man looked very kind, and he didn't report us before, so he didn't hesitate to believe him, and after he went out, he spent money to buy a carriage, and fled this place together, and the Taoist also told me that fortunately he came in time, and if it was delayed, we would be arrested together.

On the carriage, the Taoist persuaded us to exchange the treasures in the treasure chest for food, to recruit some people and horses, the underworld is already crumbling, the people are hungry, and the officials are even more greedy, as long as there is food, there are soldiers, if you want to save your life, you can only launch a rebellion and divide one side.

But Licorice and I are at best a happy young man, a post-90s, a freelancer, not to mention leading troops to fight, I'm afraid that I can't bring a few younger brothers, so I rejected the idea of a Taoist very tactfully.

I saw that the Taoist shook his head and said, "In this case, those two young heroes should do their own thing and leave." With that, he stopped the carriage, got up, and prepared to leave.

Then, after discussing with Licorice for a while, they both thought that there was no other way to go, and finally agreed with the Taoist idea, so they rushed out of the carriage and invited the Taoist back to help him think of a way.

Soon after, according to the man's words, he exchanged all the treasures for food, recruited hundreds of men, and some horses, cut down trees, and made simple weapons, the only thing that could catch the eye was a wooden bow and arrow, and the others looked like burning sticks, and so they pulled up a team, but this is all for later, so I will not mention it for the time being.
