Chapter 13: The Netherworld, Huangquan's Encounter
This big man in black turned out to be the king of the wheel!
Suddenly, the spirits of the city god fell to the ground. The Wheel King was recognized in public, and he no longer concealed it, his momentum changed significantly, and he laughed, and the black qi surging all over his body, and the crown appeared in a moment, wearing a black royal robe, showing his true body.
But seeing that the king of the wheel held his hands weakly, he said loudly: "Get up, this king is just a little obedient to this, you are all busy, all disperse." β
The spirits did not dare to say much, and all of them dispersed, leaving only the forces of the earth.
"You two, come here!"
Zhang Hao and Zhu Jiu's figures were stunned, and a large group of ghost soldiers surrounded the two.
When Zhu Jiu saw it, he suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, and whispered: "Brother Hao, it's over, you have to be strong!" β
When the matter came, Zhang Hao was not a person who flinched, turned his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Wheel King, I don't know what to call the two of you?" β
Lord Chenghuang was angry and pointed at the two of them: "You two trampled on the canopy tree and tarnished the reputation of my underworld, how can you forget it?" β
The Wheel King looked back at the City God, and the City God was suddenly startled, and bowed his head, but the corners of his mouth were upturned somehow.
The Wheel King turned around, looked at Zhang Hao with interest, and said, "This little brother is very capable, I don't know what happened to come to my underworld?" β
Zhang Hao was shocked, and said secretly: "Could it be that he saw that the two of us are human?" His brows furrowed slightly, but Zhang Hao looked like he was about to stop talking.
In order to curry favor with the King of the Wheel, a ghost general shouted, "Didn't you hear Your Highness ask you and others?" β
The Wheel King turned around and looked at him suddenly, and said in a tepid tone, "Do you have a part in speaking here?" β
The ghost general suddenly shuddered, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he bowed down and slowly retreated.
The Wheel King drank away from the ghost general, turned his head to look at the City God, and said, "I want to interrogate these two people personally, there is no problem, right?" β
Lord Chenghuang hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Your Highness wants to interrogate, and your subordinates don't dare to say much!" β
The Wheel King smiled faintly, took the lead with his hands behind his back, turned around, walked in all directions, and said loudly: "You two come with me!" β
Although Zhang Hao and the others were unwilling at this time, they had to keep up.
The two of them followed the Wheel King to a side hall, and the Wheel King sat on the main seat, looked at Zhang Hao, and said, "Say, who are you?" There will be a celestial eye object? β
Zhang Hao was startled, the light in his eyes was rioting, and he stared at the Wheel King directly, looking vigilant!
The Wheel King smiled lightly and said, "Don't be nervous, this king doesn't mean anything else." Since you don't want to answer, let's change the question, you two are just mortals, what's the matter with coming to my underworld? β
Zhang Hao frowned deeply, hesitated for a long time, and still replied: "I'm looking for my wife!" β
"Oh? Your wife? The Wheel King raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "What's wrong with your wife?" β
"She was hooked by the black and white impermanence of the underworld!" At the mention of Jin Zhaorong, Zhang Hao couldn't help but be excited, and at this time he had no fear anymore, looked at the Wheel King, and said bluntly.
Seeing that Zhang Hao was neither humble nor arrogant, he didn't have the slightest fear of himself, and he didn't care, he smiled faintly and said: "This ghost is a matter of maintaining the balance of the Three Realms, and it is useless for you to chase after the underworld, maybe your wife has already been reincarnated as a human being, why should you force it?" β
Zhang Hao's eyes froze, his gums clenched tightly, his body trembled, and said, "Even if my wife is reincarnated, I will find her and continue the edge." β
"Bang" twice, the Wheel King, who has always been irritable, did not get angry, but clapped his hands and said, "What a young man who values love and righteousness." So how are you going to find your wife? β
When Zhang Hao heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "Go and see the book of life and death!" β
"Haha......" The Wheel King actually laughed, and only stopped laughing for a while, and said: "It's really naΓ―ve, who do you think you are, the book of life and death is related to the balance of the Three Realms, how can you be a mortal who can read it?" β
Zhang Hao was shocked, as if he had lost his soul, and after a while, the brilliance in his eyes reappeared, and he said firmly: "In short, I must see the book of life and death!" β
The Wheel King grinned, his eyes narrowed, and two divine rays bloomed, and he said, "This king can take you to see the book of life and death, but you have to promise this king one condition!" β
Zhang Hao was overjoyed, then calmed down, and said calmly: "The conditions proposed by the dignified Wheel King, I don't think it's that simple, right?" β
The Wheel King was stunned for a moment, then let out a heroic laugh, and then looked at Zhang Hao and said: "Actually, it's nothing, the underworld has recently lost a lot of ghosts for no reason, this king came to the ancient jade world this time to investigate this case, this king sees that you have a good ability to solve cases, as a quid pro quo, I don't know if it's possible?" β
Zhang Hao frowned, he knew that the request made by the Wheel King was not so simple, and if he didn't get it right, he would get himself into trouble. But for the sake of his wife Jin Zhaorong, Zhang Hao did not hesitate, almost as soon as the wheel king finished speaking, Zhang Hao agreed categorically, and said loudly: "Okay, a word is a certainty!" β
The Wheel King was obviously stunned again, and then the corners of his mouth grinned, and he said loudly: "Okay, a word is a certainty!" But he secretly thought in his heart: "This son has the eye of heaven, he must not be a layman, even if he can't solve the 'lost soul case', he can make friends." β
Just do what you say, be resolute and resolute, it has always been the style of the Wheel King, but when I saw him get up, he walked out, and said loudly: "Go, this king will accompany the two of you to the Netherworld Ghost Palace!" β
The two were overjoyed and hurriedly followed. Hurrying all the way, after a while, they came to the famous "Ghost Gate".
"Your Highness!" The soldiers on both sides of the ghost gate saw that it was the Wheel King, and they bowed down neatly.
The Wheel King nodded and looked back at Zhang Hao and Zhu Jiu.
When they saw the ghost door for the first time, the two couldn't help but be curious. But I saw that there was a plaque on the door of the ghost gate, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with the three big characters of "ghost gate". The door was pitch black, and upon closer inspection, there were countless faces, with different expressions, some glaring angrily, making angry looks; Some are smiling and happy; Some of them wept miserably and mourned, and made a sad ......
Life is full of all kinds of things, as if there is a call from the soul, which makes Zhang Hao like a cloud, like a drunk, and his eyes gradually blurred. His birth, his acquaintance with Jin Zhaorong and Zhu Jiu, scenes flashed through his mind......
Suddenly, the jade pendant around Zhang Hao's neck emitted purple and gold light, protecting Zhang Hao, and two earth-shattering dragon groans sounded in Zhang Hao's ears.
"Ahh Zhang Hao's eyes were clear, and he didn't dare to look at the ghost gate anymore, as if he had gone through all the tribulations, he bent his head tired and gasped.
The Wheel King frowned, and the light in the tiger's eyes rioted; Exclaimed: "Less than a quarter of an hour? β
Zhang Hao raised his head, looked at the Wheel King, and said, "What?" β
"Nothing!" The Wheel King's seemingly bland way. But there was a storm in his heart, and he shouted: "This son is not bad, this son is not bad!" "It's even more like a friend.
Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Hao caught a glimpse of Zhu Jiu with a smile, looking like a pig brother, and muttered in his mouth: "Beauty, beauty." Ah, a lot of money, a lot of buns......"
Zhang Hao was speechless, his old face was dark, he looked at the Wheel King embarrassedly, and said, "Zhu Jiu, he ......"
The Wheel King grinned and said, "It's okay, he's just trapped in the ghost gate, addicted, and doesn't want to come out." β
In fact, Zhang Hao guessed one or two from Zhu Jiu's words, and when he heard what the Wheel King said, he was about to wake up. But seeing the white light flashing on Zhu Jiu's body, Zhu Jiu was excited, recovered, looked at Zhang Hao blankly, and said, "Brother Hao, what's wrong with my old Zhu?" β
The corners of Zhang Hao's mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "You think too much about beautiful women!" β
When the Wheel King heard this, he couldn't help laughing and strode into the ghost gate. Zhang Hao immediately followed, and Zhu Jiuyi looked around, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly caught up.
After the ghost gate, what appeared in front of the two of them was a loess road that could not be seen at a glance, full of desolation, except for a faint gray gas and black fog, there was nothing else, there was no stars, sun and moon, no mortal dust, no Yangguan Avenue in front of them, and no relatives and friends in the back. The loess road divides into many small forks and leads in all directions. The two sides of the road were dark, and through the faint light of the faint light, it was faintly visible that it was water, but the color of the water was pure black, and from time to time it was "gurgling" bubbling and bubbling, and there were many white steaming.
The Wheel King looked at the two of them in amazement and said, "This road is Huangquan Road, and on both sides of Huangquan Road is the boundless Sea of Death. There are many evil beasts and fierce spirits in the Sea of Death, if you accidentally fall into it, ninety percent of them will end up with a true spirit dissipating and your soul scattered! β
The two of them were shocked and stunned. Zhu Jiu was even more unbearable, and involuntarily leaned towards Zhang Hao, his round eyes turning back and forth, guarding the surroundings.
The Wheel King laughed and said, "Don't worry, the evil beasts and fierce spirits in the sea generally won't go ashore. β
Zhang Hao and Zhu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other with an embarrassed smile.
Zhu Jiu looked at the royal clothes on the Wheel King, his eyes rolled, he smiled, and asked, "Hehe, Your Highness, is the Netherworld Mansion the biggest for you?" β
The Wheel King was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhu Jiu to ask this question, he shook his head slightly, and said: "The underworld is also known as the Netherworld Ghost Realm, vast and boundless, and the desperate situation, the place you are in now is just the tip of the iceberg in the fiefdom of this king, in addition to this king, there are nine kings in the underworld, namely the ghost king, the king of Qin Guang, the king of Chujiang, the emperor of Song, the king of Wuguan, the king of Biancheng, the king of Taishan, the king of the city and the king of equality, among which the ghost king has the greatest power and occupies the central place. β
The two of them swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and they both saw the shock in their eyes, and secretly sighed in their hearts the vastness of the Netherworld and the vastness of the Three Realms.
In fact, there are many lonely souls and wild ghosts on Huangquan Road, hidden in the shadows, focusing on the spirits of the past, but there is a wheel king leading the way, and they dare not be presumptuous. The road was calm, and I don't know how long I walked, it seemed like a long time, and it seemed to be very short, and there seemed to be a faint sound of water.
The Wheel King smiled faintly and said, "In front of you is the Nai He Bridge and the Lethe River, and this sound of water is the sound of the weak water of the Lethe River washing over the Nai He Bridge." This weak water is known as the softest water in the world, nothing is unsinkable, and the legend is that the tears of lovers in the world are gathered, so it is also called 'love water'. β
Zhang Hao pursed his lips secretly, disbelieving that it was true, how could tears gather into a river. Seeing his expression, the Wheel King obviously didn't believe it, and said: "You will believe it in the future, the foolish men and women in the world don't know the geometry, the Three Realms are so big, there are no surprises." Then he continued to walk slowly.
Zhang Hao didn't seem to understand, he was attracted by these bizarre things, and followed the Wheel King to an arch bridge. The bridge is white, spanning the entire Lechuan River, and the strange thing is that the bridge is divided into three layers, and there are ghosts dressed in sackcloth and white clothes walking over it one by one, and from time to time there are terrible screams.
Zhang Hao was terrified when he heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, pointed to the bridge, and said, "This bridge must be a bridge, right?" β
The Wheel King nodded and said, "This bridge is divided into three layers, and good people will not suffer any harm from the upper bridge, but will be of great benefit; People who have both good and evil, from the middle bridge to guΓ², will be harmed by different ways; The heinous people, who pass from the lower bridge, will be washed by the weak water and tortured, and those who are even more strict will be directly washed by the weak water. β
Zhang Hao's face twitched when he heard this, and he was embarrassed, so he deliberately changed the topic and said: "Fatty, after you die, you must have walked through the lowest level!" β
If it was usual, there would be Zhu Jiu's complaining and colliding, but at this time, it was surprising that Zhu Jiu's shouts were not heard.
Zhang Hao looked back, where was Zhu Jiu's figure, his face suddenly changed, and he said in shock: "Fatty, what about Fat Zhu Jiu?" β
The Wheel King was probably too focused on these legends, and his face changed at this time, and suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he shouted, "Not good!" At the same time, the figure turned into a black shadow and swept out quickly.
Zhang Hao looked at it, did not hesitate, took out the kamikaze talisman from his arms, stuck it on his leg, and quickly chased the wheel king.
Far away, Zhang Hao heard Zhu Jiu's ghost crying wolf howl.
"Brother Hao, help, help!"
"Ah...... What a strange fish, don't pull me Lao Zhu......"
"My old Zhu is really a dead nest, and he was eaten by a fish...... Brother Hao, help......"
When Zhang Hao looked at it, his horrified soul was scattered, but he saw that Zhu Jiu was being held by a monster with a fish head and a human body, and he didn't let go. It's just that this fat man Zhu Jiu has studied Xuangong with Yiren for a few years, and he temporarily resisted the monster.
"It's not good, it's a yellow spring fish!" The Wheel King was also shocked when he saw this fish monster, and with a flip of his hand, four wheel treasures of gold, silver, copper and iron appeared in his hands.
But seeing that the wheel king threw the four-color wheel treasure, the four wheels flashed with four colors, and swept towards the Huangquan fish monster at a rapid pace.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the yellow spring fish was hit by the four-color wheel treasure, and immediately turned into a cloud of black gas and disappeared. The four-color wheel treasure returned with a spin and was put away by the wheel king.
Zhu Jiu got off, sat on the ground in fright, and gasped heavily. Zhang Hao was startled, and when his figure flickered, he went to Zhu Jiu, looked up and down, and said hurriedly: "Fatty, are you okay?" β
Zhu Jiu laughed twice with palpitations, and said, "Brother Hao, I'm scared to death, that's obviously beautiful...... Uh, how did you suddenly become such a terrifying fish monster? β
"Hmph, this fish is called Huangquan Fish, because it often turns into a beautiful woman to seduce the lonely ghosts of the past and swallow its soul alive, it is also called 'Yanyu', and it is called 'Erotic Encounter'. It must be you, a fat man, who are greedy for beauty and are bewitched by it. The Wheel King grimaced and said angrily.
Zhu Jiu scratched his head, his fat face twitched, and he said embarrassedly: "How can there be such a thing...... Nothing ......"
