Chapter 14 First Acquaintance with the Bull's Head
A castle tower without walls suddenly appeared on the plain, and this scene was particularly strange. As soon as this tower appeared, the city gate was opened, and then a team of Yin soldiers and ghosts poured out from inside. These Yin soldiers and ghosts soon lined up in two rows at the gate of the city, standing facing each other. Then, Li Mu clearly felt a vibration from the ground, and the vibration became more and more intense, and when the shaking stopped, a two-meter-tall giant man suddenly appeared in the depths of the city gate.
This giant man is holding a steel fork, and he is casually draped in leather armor, completely exposing the strong muscles of his upper body, and his physique is completely comparable to that of the world's bodybuilder in the yang world. But when Li Mu saw the giant man's head clearly, his back was also cold, because the top of the giant man's neck was a huge bull's head.
He threw the steel fork in his hand to the ground and hugged his arms in front of his chest, and his huge pectoral muscles were squeezed out of a deep furrow. The bull's head kept spewing rough air from its nostrils, and the two sharp horns also flashed with cold light and shouted: "Which one knocked on the ghost door?" ”
The sound was like a huge wave, and Li Mu's ears were faintly painful.
"Master Niu, it's small!" The man in ancient costume heard the bull's reprimand, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in response. In front of the bull head, he had to deal with it carefully, you must know that the lord himself was in the position of a ghost commander, and it was only because of his greed and misfortune with horse noodles that he was demoted here by the king of Hades to be a gatekeeper. And this bull head and horse face don't have a good reputation in the underworld, but the two of them have a similar smell and smell and have been together all year round, so that other colleagues have bitter words, not to mention that he has a small entry record. Now, if we are careless, when this chief officer is reinstated, he may give us some kind of shoes.
The bull head squinted at it, spit on the ground rudely, and said with a smile: "Yo, it's Fan Xiucai!" What's the urgency, I knocked on the door of the ghost before the hour came. You know, the consequences of knocking on the door for no reason are very serious! As he spoke, the bull lifted the steel fork in his hand, and then flipped it in his hand.
This ghost called Fan Xiucai was also frightened when he saw it, and hurriedly explained. "I don't dare if Master Niu lends me a gut, isn't this really urgent!" So this Fan Xiucai pointed at Li Mu, who was waiting on the side, and then said something vigorously, probably telling the matter of the previous conversation with Li Mu.
Seeing the image of this giant man, Li Mu naturally contacted a well-known figure in the underworld. The bull's head is a household name in the yang world, but when he really sees the real body, he is still a little shocked.
"Oh, a mortal, what crime should I be guilty of trespassing on the underworld?" Someone trespassing on the underworld can be big or small, but the problem is that the bull head is currently in a special period. If he hadn't asked about such a trivial matter before, but at this time he had to deal with it seriously, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to be sued by Hades and let himself go to hell. As soon as he thought of the person who had snitched against Hades last time, the bull head wanted to tear him alive.
Niu Tou's voice almost scared Li Mu's soul away, thinking that if he had something to say, he couldn't say it well, he had to be so loud to be majestic. But now there is a demand for others, not to mention that people should have a very high status in the underworld, so Li Mu also hurriedly greeted him with a smile. As for the fact that the bull head has been reduced to an ordinary ghost pawn at this time, Li Mu naturally doesn't know.
Standing in front of the bull head who was two heads taller than himself and a circle larger than himself, Li Mu also said with a smile on his face: "Master Niu, my name is Li Mu, I came to the underworld this time to inquire about something, and I hope it will be convenient." Li Mu didn't know how to call the bull head more appropriately, so he simply learned Fan Xiucai's previous name.
It wasn't the first time that Niu Tou had dealt with mortals, but it was the first time that someone had gone to the underworld to ask him directly, which made him curious. I wanted to know what the mortal in front of me wanted to ask, but after listening to Li Mu's request, Niu Tou's face kept changing. Although Li Mu couldn't see any change in Niu Tou's face at all, Niu Tou's two huge eyes kept spinning. originally thought that Li Mu was going to make some movement when he trespassed into the underworld, but he was also secretly relieved to see that he was just looking for traces of ghosts.
Unlike the horse's belly and intestines, the cow's head is a tendon, and it is not bad to remember the good. Since following the horse noodles, Niu Tou has also learned some temperament to fish out of the way, so at this time he unconsciously made the old mistake.
"That, this matter is very important, it's not so easy to do!" Halfway through the bull's words, the hand holding his chest made some small movements in concealment.
The index and middle fingers are slightly bent together, and the thumbs are rubbed against each other. Li Mu could see what this action meant at a glance, but Li Mu didn't expect that this tone was also popular in the underworld. Rummaging through the whole body, except for the whole body, only the Yin God Jade on the neck and the Arhat Buddha bead in his hand are more valuable, but these two are Li Mu's heart treasures, and he is naturally reluctant.
How do you know that this bull head is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, and if there is no benefit, he will turn his face on the spot, which is faster than Fan Xiucai's previous flipping books. Li Mu still wanted to say something good, but the bull head waved his hand. "Come on, take down this mortal who trespassed into the realm of the underworld."
When those Yin soldiers and ghost soldiers heard Niu Tou's order, they all hurriedly rushed towards Li Mu with the killing rod and the soul hooking rope. Li Mu didn't expect that this guy from Niu Tou would do it when he said it, and he was surrounded by a group of Yin soldiers and ghost soldiers, and he didn't know what to do.
As soon as they swarmed up, many Yin soldiers and ghost soldiers took the guy and greeted Li Mu directly. Li Mu shouted in his heart, and he dodged repeatedly. But just when Li Mu was hit, suddenly the golden light on his body bloomed. And those Yin soldiers and ghost soldiers suddenly screamed in shock when they were illuminated by this golden light, and their originally clear figures became much lighter.
Niu Tou was also shocked by the sudden change, but he didn't expect a little mortal to beat a group of Yin soldiers and ghost pawns to the ground, and even the Yin Qi on his body dispersed a lot. But under his nose, his subordinates were beaten like this, and the bull's face was dull. It seems that only by going out in person can I get back on the field.
"Blatantly resisting arrest and beating the Yin soldiers, you are in big trouble." Niu Tou Wu shouted at Li Mu.
As soon as the steel fork was picked, the bull head strode towards Li Mu. To say that although this bull head has been relegated to an ordinary ghost, his strength is still very strong. The vibration from this ordinary step made Li Mu unstable and almost fell.
"Look at the fork!"
When he got closer, the bull head stabbed the steel fork in his hand hard at Li Mu. With the huge power of the bull's head, let alone a mortal, even the other ghost commanders in the underworld dare not say that they can be blocked by their physical bodies alone. Li Mu didn't know how to fight at all, and he didn't know how to dodge when he saw the steel fork approaching, but in fact, he couldn't dodge.
Seeing that Li Mu was about to die under the steel fork, there was a flash of golden light again. At this time, a golden shield appeared around Li Mu's body to protect him firmly, otherwise the steel fork of the bull's head would score a point.
Niu Tou was also slightly shocked when he saw this, and every time he thought of this golden light, even his own steel fork could block it. However, he is not an idle person, and if he fails to make a move, he will move to one side, and change the stab to smash. The steel fork brought a gust of wind in the air and smashed it at Li Mu.
Wow......
There was a rumbling roar as if a steel fork was smashing into a bronze bell, but the shield around Li Mu's body only flickered slightly before returning to its original state. The huge anti-shock force almost shook the steel fork in the bull head's hand and flew out, staring at a pair of bull's eyes like copper bells, and the bull head was even more shocked in his heart. You must know that this move is powerful and heavy, but it is his specialty, but there is still no way to take the mortal in front of him. Could it be that this person is a cultivator who has reached the realm of earth immortals, which makes Niu Tou feel that this matter is not trivial.
Li Mucai is not an earth immortal, as for why he was able to block it repeatedly, there is a reason for it. At this time, Li Mu could feel the scorching sensation coming from the bracelet, which was obviously the role of the Arhat Buddha beads on his hand. Peeking at the Buddha beads, Li Mu felt that they didn't seem to be as shiny as before, could it be that this Buddha beads have restrictions on use? Thinking of this, Li Mu quickly gathered his thoughts, and his face still pretended to be unfathomable.
Li Mu was secretly pondering over there, and the bull head was also muttering in his heart. Now it's okay, the benefits haven't been reaped, and he can't beat it, and now it's so difficult to ride a tiger that makes him a headache.
After several years in Shangdu, Li Mu also learned to observe words and colors. Although the bull head didn't have any expression, he didn't seem to want to fight anymore when he looked hesitant. With a thought in his mind, he said tentatively: "Master Niu, I don't think there will be any result if I continue to fight, so it's better to stop here, how about it?" ”
The bull head had this intention, and at this time, he even borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, but the kung fu on the surface was still relatively in place. "That, thinking of your first offense, I won't pursue this matter anymore, you better hurry back to the yang world!"
didn't achieve his goal, where could Li Mu go back, he had to discuss with Niu Tou again.
Niu Tou was also weighing in his heart whether he should agree, if he didn't agree, if the mortal with the magic power of the earth immortal in front of him broke through directly and violently, he might not be able to stop it. But agree, I let mortals enter the customs without authorization and spread it to the ears of the king of Hades, I am afraid that I will not have good fruit to eat. At this time, how the bull head wished that his horse brother was present, and with the wisdom of the horse brother, he would definitely be able to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
Li Mu never expected that he would inadvertently pull a big banner and give the bull head a headache. In fact, he was also worried in his heart, if this uncle's temper came up, he just didn't agree, then what should he do?
This person and ghost were each moving in their hearts, and Fan Xiucai suddenly interrupted their thoughts.
"Master Niu, I have a way here to prevent you from being embarrassed by this."
As soon as Niu Tou heard that he didn't need to be embarrassed, he immediately ordered Fan Xiucai to speak out quickly.
"Actually, if you want to inquire about mortal souls, you don't need to go to the ghost gate, as long as I check my record book."
Hearing what Fan Xiucai said, Niu Tou patted his head and laughed, and said, "Damn, why didn't I think of such a simple method!" It seems that you Fan Xiucai is still a little useful, then follow me in the future! ”
His shoulder was slapped hard by the giant palm of the bull's head, and Fan Xiucai's bones almost fell apart. However, he was also happy to be able to enter the eyes of the bull's head. He is a scholar in the yang world, and he has been named Sun Shan many times in the re-examination, and finally after winning once, he didn't expect to be too happy, but he turned his back on his anger all of a sudden, and he hasn't woken up since then. Hades also remembered that it was not easy for him, so he made him a record keeper of the entrance to the ghost gate.
Since there was a way to inquire about Wang Wei's soul, Li Mu was naturally full of joy and urged Fan Xiucai to hurry up and investigate.
Fan Xiucai took out the notebook, read a sentence of Wang Wei's name in his mouth, and saw the notebook flipping rapidly, until the last page was turned and covered.
"How? Did you find it? ”
Faced with Li Mu's inquiry, Fan Xiucai did not answer but asked again: "Is the name correct?" ”
"That's right, it's Wang Wei. The king of three horizontal and one vertical, the great great. Fan Xiucai's question made Li Mu have a bad premonition in his heart, because this sentence was asked when they met for the first time.
"If the name is correct, then this soul named Wang Wei is not in the underworld." Fan Xiucai replied affirmatively.
"Absent?" Such a result made Li Mu a little dumbfounded.
