Chapter 233: Yin Si Ghost Officer
After making these preparations, I stood quietly behind the fire and waited for the ghost to come to the door. After a few seconds, I felt a very unfamiliar and heavy cold aura rushing through the door, as if I had fallen into an ice cave without clothes on the cold winter moon. Although this cold aura had a taste of arrogance, it didn't seem to dare to be completely presumptuous, and when it got close to the gate, it stopped.
I felt my heart pound and a mixture of nervousness and excitement filled my heart.
Right away...... I'm about to see the legendary ghost officials from the Netherworld! I remembered that when I was a child, when I was in Lianghe Town, there was a ghost cha among the master's good friends who stayed in the yang world. He was very nice to me and my master, so I always felt that my should be a good place.
But it seems like I'm overgeneralizing......
At this moment, Huo Xiaozi picked up the Taoist whisk in his hand and shook it gently. The door creaked open from the inside out. I saw that at this doorway, there was already a human figure standing! I saw that he was dressed in white mourning clothes, with a wide hood covering his head, and he couldn't see his appearance. Around the white clothes, there are streams of black gas slowly circling back and forth, giving people a sense of danger!
Obviously, this thing should be the ghost official from the Yin Division. The first time I saw it, it gave me a very uncomfortable feeling. It also confirms that this so-called Yin Division that manages the underworld is probably not a good thing......
Next to this Yin Si ghost official stood a young man wearing a navy blue robe with a bun on his head, looking a little nervous. I think it should be Huo Xiaozi's apprentice, and the white humanoid smoke just now should be what he turned into to inform Huo Xiaozi.
At the door, the ghost official in a white mourning dress stepped into the house from the door, and I immediately felt a cold aura that seemed to fill the hall, which actually felt a bit like the feeling brought by the Nine Turns of Cold Cicada I encountered in the land of the bones of the Naba snake before.
As the ghost official entered the house, the originally dry and refreshing room suddenly became cloudy and windy, and a whirlwind broke out for no reason. I even heard some faint faint ghost crying wolf howls in my ears, which made people feel a little creepy......
I tried to keep my emotions calm and keep my spiritual energy tightly in my body so that it would not overflow. Cheered up the spirit, and looked at the white-clothed Yin Si ghost official with extreme vigilance. And Huo Xiaozi's expression was very calm, just sitting on the chair, and he didn't seem to get up to greet the ghost official.
The white-clothed ghost official came to stand two or three meters in front of Huo Xiaozi, and a hoarse and low voice came out from the wide white hood: "Huo Xiaozi, this official came to inspect your Tianshi Village, did you treat me with such an attitude?" Not only did he not go out to greet him, but now he didn't even want to get up, didn't he feel a little sluggish! ”
As soon as he spoke, he was aggressive, and he called himself "this official" in his words, as if the court ordered officials to come down to inspect the people's feelings, which made people feel a strange feeling in their hearts.
When Huo Xiaozi heard this, he slowly bowed to the white-clothed ghost official, and said lightly: "Lao Dao has been caught with a cold recently, and his body is not very comfortable, so I also ask the young history of the Ecstasy Hall to forgive me." ”
The young history of the Ecstasy Palace? I think this should be the official name of this Yin Si ghost official. However, I don't quite understand what kind of official position this is, but it seems that it should not be low.
"Hmph, Huo Xiaozi, I see you're perfunctory to me. It's best to put away your thoughts, and don't think that the spiritual calamity is coming, and I, Yin Si, will not have the energy to manage you outsiders. Otherwise, I will definitely launch a Yin Si army to conquer your little Heavenly Master Village. ”
This ghost official with the official position of "Young History of the Lost Soul Palace" spoke in a cold tone, with a kind of disdain and contempt. Huo Xiaozi just picked up the gourd on the table and took a breath, making a slurping voice: "How can Lord Shaoshi talk like this?" The spiritual calamity is coming, and all the people of the Netherworld should work together. Moreover, this spiritual tribulation can be called a catastrophe unseen in a thousand years, and I am afraid that the impact on the yang world is far greater than before, and the adults of the Yin Division will have to worry a lot. Moreover, the spiritual power that should be paid in our Heavenly Master Village is also paid on time and in quantity, so there should be no place to disobey the orders of the Yin Division, right? What about the words of conquest. ”
Huo Xiaozi's words were neither soft nor hard, and the arrogance of the white-clothed ghost official surrounded by black gas was actually suppressed for a while, and he was silent for a while without speaking, and then sneered: "Huo Xiaozi, this official will not do that useless dispute with you in vain." The overseers in the Hall of Ecstasy sensed a strange aura, it was the breath of the people of the Yang Realm! ”
"People of the Yang Realm? Are there any people from the Yang Realm here? I don't know if it's the so-called Three Qings and Four Emperors, or the Five Heavenly Monarchs? One time will cause a lot of trouble for your yin. For us, I'm afraid, it's not too good. ”
Huo Xiaozi's old guy's acting skills are really good, and the surprised and stunned seems to be trying to keep his composure again, if it weren't for me, the person from the Yang Realm in their mouths, standing behind him, I wouldn't have been fooled by him.
"It's good that you know, who knows what those people in the Yang Realm think of us? Even if you have refused to submit to the rule of Yin Si for thousands of years, you should understand that we are all grasshoppers on a rope. It's just that the supervising envoy said that the aura of the yang realm monitored this time is very strange, it seems to be very weak, looming, and it is not at all like the people of the yang realm who came before with spiritual power and great power. ”
"Oh, does Lord Shaoshi mean that even people under the earth immortals can enter the netherworld? This makes Lao Dao not quite believe. Huo Xiaozi continued to act......
I was standing behind him, and I thought it was a little funny to watch him act. But gradually listening to the conversation between him and this young history ghost of the Ecstasy Palace, his heart was shocked again! Between this yin and yang, is there still so many secrets and origins?! Even I've heard a lot of things about the yo world that I don't even know.
For example, the three clear and four royal, the saying of the five heavenly monarchs! Obviously, you can guess that it may be the title of the strongest people in the Xuanmen Taoism in the yang world!
The Five Heavenly Monarchs...... My father-in-law's name is Hong Tianjun, also known as Tianjun Daoren. I think it should be one of the so-called "Five Heavenly Monarchs". I didn't expect that there would be stronger masters known as the Three Qing and Four Emperors. Isn't this directly named after the highest god in Taoist allusions? It's domineering!
Listening to their words, it seems that the connection between the yang and the underworld should have been intermittent for more than 2,000 years. And...... I'm afraid there are some conflicts and grievances! It's no wonder that this fire night was reserved for me before, and I'm afraid there is such a reason in it.
There is a contradiction between the yang world and the underworld?!
I couldn't believe this discovery, and I didn't know if they were really talking casually, or if Huo Xiaozi was deliberately taking advantage of this opportunity to let me know the specific information about the relationship between yin and yang. Although there is no evidence, my gut tells me that the latter is more likely.
Anyway, I have a turbulent wave in my heart here, and the conversation between the white-clothed ghost official and Huo Xiaozi is still continuing.
The white-clothed ghost official said impatiently: "Huo Xiaozi, you don't have to pretend here. The Inspector of the Ecstasy Hall had already clearly told this official that the aura of that very weak Yang Realm person came all the way towards the hill where your Heavenly Master Village was located, and then it disappeared and could not be monitored. There is absolutely only one possibility, your Heavenly Master Village has hidden this person from the Yang Realm! Hand him over to the official and bring him back to the Yin Division. ”
"Lord Shaoshi, you're just a little bloody. Our Heavenly Master Village has always kept our duty, and the Yin Division has long ordered us not to contact the people of the Yang Realm alone, otherwise we will be conquered by the Yin Division's army, and no one will dare. Huo Xiaozi looked like she had been helplessly wronged, and shook her head slightly.
Only then did I know that Yin Si actually had such a ban? It seems that the waters of this underworld ...... It's also very deep! I don't know what kind of secret is hidden inside. At the same time, I was also a little touched by Huo Xiaozi's behavior, it seems that he put me in the village and talked to me, I am afraid that he took a big risk.
Seeing Huo Xiaozi's appearance of not getting oil and salt in, the white-clothed ghost official suddenly became angry. From under the white mourning clothes, there was a sharp howl, and the whole hall suddenly became cloudy, and his body suddenly rose and grew, becoming a foot away! The surrounding black qi turned into a fierce ghost without a lower body, with his mouth wide open, revealing sharp teeth......
"Fire Night! I see that your Heavenly Master Village is not bad to this official on weekdays, so I am so polite to you about this. You don't want to get an inch, if you annoy the official, you will be wiped out in three days, and all of you will become like ghosts and slaves! The white-clothed ghost officer, whose body and voice had become huge at the same time, seemed to be a little annoyed, and scolded the fire night.
Huo Xiaozi was also angry, the wide and flowing Taoist robe on his body was windless at this time, it puffed up from the inside, and he stood up from the chair with a swish, shook the dust in his hand, and roared angrily: "Lord Shaoshi, don't bully others." Although Yin Si is powerful, I don't believe that the Ghost Emperor of Xudu and the Ten Palaces of Yama would dare to launch a large army against us when the catastrophe is approaching. Don't forget, we were all descendants of the Dao Sect who came here from the Yang Realm together! The worst can also make you lose your Yin Division! ”
When he said this, it seemed that he had used the mantra technique in Taoism, and the whole hall was rumbling. The eerie whirlwind and the terrible howl of ghosts and wolves suddenly dissipated a lot, and the hall returned to normal......
"Fire Night! Are you directly challenging the authority of the Yin Division? Tell me, that weak person from the Yang Realm, whether you will pay it or not! The white-clothed ghost officer took a step forward, and his huge body looked at Huo Xiaozi condescendingly, and the face hidden in the wide hood revealed two blood-red light clusters in the darkness!
"Lord Shaoshi, I have already made it very clear, my Heavenly Master Village has never seen the weak Yang Man you said at all, let alone protected him. Please also ask Lord Shaoshi to go back, and it is only right to prepare well to deal with the terrible spiritual tribulation that is about to begin. Huo Xiaozi was neither humble nor arrogant, and raised his head to look directly at the two blood-red fireballs in the hood that looked down on him, with a solemn expression.
I was standing behind him, and I was actually very close to the white-clad ghost who had become huge, and I could even feel that his face hidden in the hood must be very hideous and terrifying, and I could also feel the creepy and eerie aura.
To say that I was not nervous at this time is false, I finally managed to control myself to calm down, and the ups and downs of my emotions and body were not so obvious. Otherwise, if it is discovered by this "Young History of the Ecstasy Palace", it is estimated that the consequences will be unimaginable!
I don't think that if I am found out by this ghost, this fire will still be able to keep me, and I will have any good fruit to eat after being taken to the underworld.
In fact, it is obvious that this Huo Xiaozi is gambling, and the bet that this white-clothed ghost official is not completely sure that I must be hiding in this Heavenly Master Village, so he does not dare to rashly start an actual conflict with Huo Xiaozi......
He grasped the other party's mentality, and he bit me to death.
The fire in front of me and the huge ghost officer confronted each other silently, and I stood behind with an invisibility charm and held my breath, and I didn't dare to take a breath out of the atmosphere, for fear that I would be discovered by the ghost official.
After a long while, the young history of the Ecstasy Hall straightened up, and a gloomy and violent voice came from under the white mourning clothes: "Since that's the case, then I'll go back." Huo Xiaozi, if it is discovered that your Heavenly Master Village is really harboring people from the yang world without permission, then wait for the wrath of the Yin Division. Hum! ”
After finishing speaking, the white-clothed ghost official turned around suddenly, directly turned into a black smoke and flew out of the gate, and flew away along the bluestone road towards the entrance of the village at a very fast speed......
After the ghost official left, the young Taoist priest in a cyan Taoist robe finally breathed a sigh of relief, let out a long breath, and reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead: "It was really dangerous just now." Master, the people of Yin Si are becoming more and more unreasonable, and they actually insist on saying that we harbor people from the Yang Realm......"
Huo Xiaozi beckoned to him and motioned for the young Taoist priest to come over and drink the water from the gourd on the table. He picked up the gourd and took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he was a little surprised: "Is it the water of the boundary river?" That's great. ”
Huo Xiaozi smiled and shook his head, but said softly to his apprentice: "Zhang Xiao, first, this young history of the Ecstasy Hall is already quite reasonable. Second, he was actually right, there is indeed a person from the Yang Realm in our house......"
"Poof......
The young Taoist priest named Zhang Xiao, who was drinking water, squirted out of his mouth with a mouthful of water, and looked at his master with a frightened look: "Master, you, what are you talking about?!" Are we really the same as the Yin Si ghost official said just now, harboring a person from the Yang Realm? ”
Huo Xiaozi frowned: "What is it called harboring!" We are all originally from the Yang Realm, but we have only lived here for more than 2,000 years. Moreover, those guys in Yin Si are naturally afraid of the Yang Realm, and we have nothing. In the future, there will be less fuss and a little more maturity. He seemed to be a little disappointed in his disciple in his tone, turned his head to look at where I was and said, "Jiang Ming Xiaoyou, that Lost Soul Hall Shaoshi is really gone, you can show up." ”
That's right, I've always been worried about whether the ghost official just now would be playing a trick to capture and indulge, so even if I saw him go, I kept invisible, and I didn't come out, just because I was worried that the other party would kill a horse gun. But now that he has been confirmed by Huo Xiaozi, his heart is relaxed, and he has removed the invisibility talisman on his chest and revealed his body in the room.
That Zhang Xiao saw me suddenly appear, showed a surprised expression, and stretched out his hand to point at me: "You...... You, you're from the Yang Realm?! You're really here. ”
Huo Xiaozi sighed: "Zhang Xiao, your character has to be changed, it's too unstable." Look at the little brother Jiang Ming, I am afraid that he is eight or nine years younger than you, but he is calm. ”
The young Taoist priest sighed a little aggrieved, then stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head: "Master, my character has been like this since I was a child, and you know it...... I'm afraid it can't be changed. ”
I was very grateful to Huo Xiaozi and bowed: "Thank you seniors for protecting, I didn't expect that the people in the yang world would be hunted down by Yin Si here, it seems that I thought it was too simple before." ”
At the same time, I also smiled at this Zhang Xiaoshili, which can be regarded as a meeting between the two.
Huo Xiaozi stroked his long beard and nodded: "Jiang Ming Xiaoyou also doesn't know much about the complexity of this, yin and yang are originally separated, and they can only know each other's extremely rare information." And it's only limited to high-level people, and ordinary people may not even know about each other's existence. Alas......"
Who says it isn't, in the current era of prosperous and advanced science and technology, let alone understand, ordinary people don't believe in the existence of the underworld at all! In their opinion, in the open propaganda of the state, these are feudal superstitions.
Who knew that Hades really exists! And there are still living beings in it, even the last place where the Nuwa and Fuxi tribes, who created human beings, came to last......
Gollum......
At this moment, my stomach actually screamed very uncontrollably, and it was very clear in this hall. In fact, I was already very hungry before I met Li Su, and drinking the water from the river called the Jiehe River to quench my thirst can be regarded as making my stomach less hungry. Now that it's been so long, I can't help it.
Huo Xiaozi and Zhang Xiao were stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed. Especially this old Taoist priest, his long beard kept shaking with laughter, and he stopped for a while and said: "It's my negligence, Jiang Ming Xiaoyou came here through the barrier between yin and yang, and it must be very expensive." It's normal to be hungry, it's the old way I don't think about it. Okay, Jiang Ming, little friend, sit down and rest, and I'll immediately order someone to get some food......"
After speaking, he was going to ask Zhang Xiao to get someone to get me something to eat, I was not hypocritical, my stomach was indeed a little hungry. And when the food comes, you can also chat with this old Taoist priest while eating, and you are not in a hurry.
This Zhang Xiao agreed, and got up and went out. But within two seconds of him walking out, he immediately ran back in a hurry. In that way, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even a rolling and climbing. His face was pale, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and he looked at Huo Xiaozi with very frightened eyes.
I chuckled in my heart, and suddenly felt that something big was wrong, I was afraid that something big had happened!
"What does it look like to be flustered, say! What's going on that scares you like this? Huo Xiaozi asked with some dissatisfaction, her face gloomy.
Zhang Xiao's voice trembled: "Master...... Master, the magic tide is coming! The signs of the calamity have become!! ”
Demon Tide?! A sign of a calamity?
What's that?
Hearing Zhang Xiao's panicked, tremolo words, I only felt a chill rushing to my face, and I felt that something very bad had happened.
And Huo Xiaozi, who had always been calm, suddenly changed his face after hearing his apprentice's words, and a terrifying light burst out in his eyes. He didn't bother to talk to me at all, and with a flick of the dust in his hand, I only felt that his figure had gone out of the gate in a flash, and had reached the open space in front of me.
I quickly ran out with him, and the moment I went out to stand in this clearing, I was stunned by what I saw.
If it weren't for the same reaction and expression of the fire night around me, if it weren't for me being sure that I was awake now, I would have thought that I was too hungry and dizzy and hallucinated!
I saw that from the distant sky, in the position of the skyline, a black thing appeared, like a black cloud extending on the edge of the sky, very long and thin, but it soon became larger and thicker. If you look closely, you will find that this is not a black cloud at all, but a large area of black pressure...... Demons!!!
I don't know how many there are, it's almost obscuring the sky, and the number is terrifying. And there are all kinds of strange forms of demons and monsters in it, all of them have hideous faces, and just looking at such a distance makes me feel hairy.
And the most frightening thing is that their target is this Heavenly Master Village!!
With such a large number of demons and monsters, it is as if the tide is surging, no wonder it is called the "Demon Tide"! And listening to Zhang Xiao's meaning, this so-called "magic tide" seems to be the beginning of the mysterious and terrifying spiritual tribulation!!
"Master...... What are we going to do? Zhang Xiao was a little panicked.
At this time, I also somewhat understood Huo Xiaozi's distress, this apprentice does seem to be a little soft and weak, and it is easy to panic when he encounters things, and he is really not as good as me, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man.
"Zhang Xiao, immediately let the village guards launch the highest level of vigilance and notify everyone in the village to prepare desperately! The children are locked in the house, and everyone else is coming out to fight these demons! ”
At this moment, Huo Xiaozi's face was gloomy and frightening, and he was almost gritting his teeth and giving orders to Zhang Xiao. He hurriedly nodded, left the Dao Technique and quickly descended the mountain, using some means to spread the instructions of the village chief.
At this time, what to eat, what to talk about in detail about the secrets between yin and yang...... It's all in vain! The most important thing in front of us is how to carry the so-called "magic tide"! (To be continued.) )
