Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Big Man
The number of ghosts in the secret room is constantly increasing, but Tang Yichuan has never seen who caught the ghosts in, and every time they are thrown in, they are only unconscious ghosts, and judging from the condition of these ghosts, they are all living people, not lonely ghosts.
In other words, all ghosts die unnaturally and are taken away from their souls almost while they are alive.
The Taoist priest and An Yang gradually seemed to realize their situation, they probably knew that they were arrested, but it was not that their lives were at the end and they were caught by the soul envoy of the underworld, but that their souls were taken away by something else.
The fake Taoist priest scolded a lot of swearing, but An Yang was relatively calm, and began to discuss with Tang Yichuan how to escape from this place.
An Yang was very smart, he looked at Tang Yichuan so calm, he knew that Tang Yichuan knew something, and guessed that Tang Yichuan must have a way to leave this place.
Although Tang Yichuan didn't know how to leave this place, he was indeed looking for an opportunity to leave this place by all means.
It's just that the secret room is indeed very tightly sealed, and even the yin and yang tree vines can't stretch out.
The wind was no longer blowing outside, but it was beginning to rain loudly, and they could clearly hear the movement outside, and they could also see the bamboo forest outside through the window, but they couldn't get out.
There are more and more ghosts, and some confused ghosts are gradually beginning to wake up, and most of the ghosts think that they have been caught in the underworld, thinking that they have done something bad in their lives, so they have now been punished.
Many ghosts began to want to run out of the room, and the whole secret room became a little chaotic.
Tang Yichuan, Taoist priest, and An Yang wisely chose to hide in the corner. No one went out to have fun with the ghosts.
There is a ghost of a child who is only a few years old crying in wah, wow, wow, wow.
An Yang kindly hugged the child over, looked up at Tang Yichuan and said, "Do you have a way to get out?" If they weren't the ghosts of the underworld, what was the purpose of arresting us? Probably wouldn't it be a good purpose to keep us in such a place, right? Before anyone came to take us away, we should leave quickly. ”
Tang Yichuan did not speak. He didn't want to leave quickly, but he had to have a way to leave, and he couldn't think of any way to leave lightly.
In this ghost place, a lot of his mana is bound, and even the power that his own ghost has can't be used, where can he get out.
What Tang Yichuan was thinking about now was what would happen if Nalan Ning and the others found their body.
If they had been smarter, they wouldn't have believed the fact that he was dead. But whether they can find him and rescue him, he doesn't know.
Just when Tang Yichuan was thinking about Nalan Ning and the others, Nalan Ning and the others were also investigating Tang Yichuan's affairs non-stop, they couldn't believe that Tang Yichuan was dead, not to mention that the Lord of the Underworld also brought accurate news, Tang Yichuan was not in the underworld. If Tang Yichuan died, he would definitely go to the underworld.
A group of people gather inside the broomstick's house. looked at Tang Yichuan in the coffin, the still dead body. Because of the special spell added to the corpse, Tang Yichuan's corpse did not show signs such as corpse spots, he still looked like a normal body, and it was impossible to see that Tang Yichuan was actually dead.
The body that is detached from the soul is empty and lifeless.
The little black cat always squatted on Tang Yichuan's body. When the broom spirit thinks that the big boss is indeed dead, there is no salvation at all, and he should be buried in the ground, the black cat is very angry and attacks the broom spirit.
Since then, the broom spirit has not dared to approach the coffin at all. Even if you come over, you will hide far away.
"I don't believe anyone can seduce three thousand souls, if it's not a hellbringer, who else can have this ability?" Nalan Ning looked at Tang Yichuan's corpse and said firmly.
"If not the Hellbringer...... Could it be—" Chu Yan paused, "Could it have something to do with the big names among the demigods in Chang Qianqian's mouth?" ”
"It's possible." Murong Qingshu said, "Fate or fat people, if it were them, it might not be impossible. ”
After discussion, the three decided to go their separate ways.
Murong Qingshu continued to track down the long-scaled monsters, and Nalan Ning and Chu Yan went to meet the big names among the demigods.
Nalan Ning and Chu Yan didn't go directly to find the big man, they went to the Yuanlai Inn to find Chang Qianqian and asked Chang Qianqian to take them over to meet the big man.
Chang Qianqian glanced at Nalan Ning and Chu Yan twice, sat on the swing frame, and said leisurely: "Why should I take you to meet those big people, they are too dangerous, I don't do such dangerous things." What's more, your Master Tang is not here, and I don't have much confidence in you. ”
"You can go without us. Peony lives with us, and I think we'll tell her that if you don't want to take us there, I'm sure she'll be happy to take us there. Chu Yan glanced at Chang Qianqian and turned around directly.
"Hey, wait!" Chang Qianqian put down a handful of melon seeds in her hand, clapped her hands and jumped off the swing, "Who said I won't take you there, I'll take you there, I'll take you to meet those big shots!" ”
Nalan Ning and Chu Yan looked back at Chang Qianqian.
"Tell me about the recent situation of the peony, and I will take you there." Chang Qianqian said.
"Okay, deal." Nalan Ning Road.
Peony actually hasn't had any situation recently, as far as they know, Peony just drinks tea in the inn every day, chats with Boss Meng, goes shopping in the ancient city, and has nothing else to do.
When Chu Yan told Peony about these things, Chang Qianqian was a little surprised: "That's it? She doesn't make any other moves? ”
"That's all." Nalan Ning shrugged, "Should there be any other moves?" Are you going to regret it? ”
"Take you and I'll take you." Chang Qianqian said, "I'll go change my clothes, you wait for me, and I'll come down in a while." ”
Whether Chang Qianqian went upstairs to change clothes, Nalan Ning and Chu Yan didn't know, what they knew was that if Chang Qianqian took them. If there is a powerful Divine Punishment Bureau behind them, they should not be in trouble.
As long as there's no trouble, it's easy to say anything.
At the same time, a large number of people had gathered in the largest inn in the ancient city, the Immortal Residence.
These people look very special, not just in their looks. But the momentum is extraordinary, when ordinary people see them, they will subconsciously not even dare to look up, as if they will feel their eyes stinging just by looking at them.
In the courtyard, two rows of chairs were set up, and the first seat sat a somewhat old man and an old lady.
A group of men and women below sat in the remaining seats.
The old lady said, "If you see that I have anything to say, I will say it now, and I will not wait for it." ”
The old lady was dressed very modestly. It was the clothes of some age that the old ladies in the ancient city often wore in some years, and she looked like a working woman, but when she sat there, her eyes were very clear.
There are still two baskets of peaches by her side, she is an old lady who sells peaches, Tang Yichuan would never have thought that the old lady who had bought peaches would stand here.
"Divide these peaches." The old lady said to a middle-aged man standing beside her.
The middle-aged man distributed the peaches to everyone in the room.
The old lady said, "I have long since quit your organizations. I'm just going to be an ordinary person, and I don't agree with you guys. But you still come to me every year, what do you want me to say? It's impossible to get my old thing to nod. I won't persuade you anymore, love what, say whatever you want, if you have nothing to say, you can leave with peaches. ”
The crowd was silent. It seems to be a matter of wanting to speak and stopping.
After a while, a middle-aged man spoke: "I want to ask the old lady, if the Punishment God Bureau always cuts us off like this, what should we do?" ”
"Punish the gods? Those guys are much better than you, even if they don't have a simple purpose. It's not like you, doing nonsense. The old lady snorted coldly, "And the face to ask me such a question?" You idiots are going to ruin this world. The fat guy came over this time? ”
I looked at an empty seat, and a group of people didn't speak.
"Old lady Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time." Chang Qianqian pushed the door in, and a group of people looked back at Chang Qianqian.
Nalan Ning and Chu Yan looked into the courtyard, there was no fat man in the courtyard, and there was no fate, only an old lady sat majestically in the first seat, and the rest of the people were turning their heads to look at them.
Is this the big man among the demigods?
There is indeed an extraordinary momentum in the courtyard, and it is indeed a powerful aura of demigods.
The old lady looked at Nalan Ning and then at Chu Yan, but she didn't look at Chang Qianqian.
"These two are not demigods, little Nizi, what are you bringing them for?" The old lady asked.
"Oh, they have a question for the old lady. I brought the two of them over by the way, and by the way, I brought the old lady a little fire something, I think the old lady is going to be on fire again in the next few days. Chang Qianqian walked over with her things, and the middle-aged man next to the old lady came over and took those things from Chang Qianqian's hands.
"What's the problem?" The old lady asked.
"Something happened to a friend of ours. We suspected it might have something to do with the demigods, so we came over and inquired. Nalan Ning glanced around, she didn't know any of the demigods here, although she felt that every one of them was very powerful, and she didn't know how many times more powerful than Chang Qianqian, but it was not easy to say whether it had anything to do with the disappearance of Tang Yichuan's ghost.
Old Lady Qi is a very well-behaved old man, and she is also the most respected one among the demigods, Nalan Ning spoke, and Old Lady Qi did not drive the two out, even if this is the world of demigods, Nalan Ning and Chu Yan are not people who belong to this world, and Old Lady Qi is very reasonable.
"Why do you think this is related to demigods, and why did you find us?" Old Lady Qi asked.
"Because we've had some trouble with some demigods, and we really can't think of anyone other than the demigods who would do anything to him and have the power to take his soul away." Nalan Ning looked at the old lady Qi in front of her and said, "Besides, he has had a certain amount of contact with the divine envoy Baisha, and I heard that all the demigods are gathered here for the divine envoy Baisha, so in this case, I think." Probably only the demigods will do something to him, right? ”
Chu Yan was afraid that Nalan Ning's words would be too desperate, but the reasonable old lady in front of him would not help them, so Chu Yan opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere, "Of course, before there is conclusive evidence in this matter, everything is just our speculation." ”
"Since you know it's speculation, you're still here to ask for someone?" One of the demigods couldn't sit still.
All the demigods claim to be extraordinary. When have you ever been questioned like this by mortals and youkai?
Chang Qianqian was already standing aside to watch the show, looking like no one was helping.
Nalan Ning said: "I don't want anyone from you, I just want you to prove that you haven't done anything like this." ”
A group of demigods chattered that Nalan Ning and Chu Yan were simply unreasonable, they hadn't done anything, why should they be allowed to prove their innocence.
They're literally spewing blood.
Nalan Ning and Chang Qianqian stood in front of a group of demigods, without the slightest intention of flinching.
As soon as Old Lady Qi raised her hand, a group of demigods immediately closed their mouths, and Old Lady Qi said, "Did people say that you did it?" If you haven't done this, don't you want people to ask? Since it is said that it may be related to demigods, then it is very likely to be related, and don't think that I, an old guy, don't know the virtues of your guys. I know very well who has done what behind my back, so don't pretend to me, it's useless. Since it is said to be related to the fat man, whoever goes to find the fat man will not be confronted face to face. ”
Originally, they all stretched their necks and wanted to say something, but when these guys heard Old Lady Qi say this, they all closed their mouths. No one spoke.
No one wants to have anything to do with the fat man, and the fat man is originally a guy who can't see the head of the dragon. It's no wonder who can find him.
Seeing that they were flinching one by one, the old lady snorted.
After standing up slowly, the old lady said to Nalan Ning: "Little girl, don't worry about them, they don't want to take care of this matter, so let the old woman and me take care of it." I'm going to see who's going to do something like that right under my nose. Now that the oracles have come down, one by one they don't know what to do, and they have to make trouble until they perish. ”
When speaking, the old lady used the cane in her hand. He pointed to the people sitting in the chairs on either side, one by one.
The demigods all bowed their heads in shame, and a few of them stood up and walked to the old lady's side, trying to help the old lady, but the old lady clicked them away with crutches one by one, "Take away your dirty hands, don't touch me, the old woman." ”
A group of demigods awkwardly followed behind the old lady.
"Let's go see that friend of yours and see if one of our people did it." The old lady walked to Nalan Ning's side with her back bent.
Nalan Ning led the way with Chu Yan and took the old lady to the place where the broom spirit lived, and saw Tang Yichuan's body.
As soon as he arrived at the place where the broom spirit lived, he met Murong Qingshu, who had just returned.
Murong Qingshu saw the large group of people behind him and looked at Nalan Ning again, and he probably knew what the situation was when his eyes met.
"Did you find any clues?" Chu Yan asked.
Murong Qingshu motioned to Chu Yan not to ask first, and let the old lady see what Tang Yichuan was doing.
The old lady was followed by a group of demigods, and the demigods followed the old lady into the room to look at Tang Yichuan's body.
When she saw Tang Yichuan's body, the old lady was obviously surprised.
"It's this young man." The old lady said, "The heart is not bad, he is a good child." ”
"You know him for a long time?" Chang Qianqian, who came over to join in the fun, asked.
"I was fine when I saw him before, it didn't look like a short-lived one, why didn't he die." The old lady reached out and pinched Tang Yichuan's chin, and touched Tang Yichuan's neck again, and suddenly her hand retracted from the back of Tang Yichuan's neck, and when she retracted it, the old lady's hand had a little more in her hand.
The old lady had a thin, almost invisible thread in her hand.
"Whose is this?" The old lady took the silk and looked back at the demigods who had followed her.
A group of people looked at each other and shook their heads, all of them very anxiously denying that it was not their own.
As soon as Nalan Ning and Chu Yan saw the old lady's expression, they knew that there was a play, and the old lady knew whose thing it was, and she also knew who did it.
"Old lady, you are highly respected, you can help us." Chu Yan said busily.
"It is the demigods who have offended you. It's up to me. You don't have to worry about this, it's those guys who don't know what to do, I'll go back and think about it, and then help you get this young man's soul back. The old lady glanced back at Tang Yichuan again, "Such a good young man should not die." ”
The old lady muttered to herself for a while. Then she turned and left, taking her group of demigods with her.
With the old lady's words, Chu Yan and Nalan Ning didn't have that kind of worry.
Murong Qingshu suddenly remembered something, and chased after him to give the old lady the address he had investigated about the monster with scales, and this monster should also know something. After the old lady accepted the things, she told Murong Qingshu and gave her three days, and in three days, she would completely solve the matter.
"Good. Then trouble the old lady. Murong Qingshu said to the old lady.
After the old lady left, Chang Qianqian, who was leaning on the side of Tang Yichuan's coffin, said, "It turns out that he died." It's really interesting that Master Tang died. Actually, although I don't like him to be alive, I don't really want him to die like this, it's boring to die, Master Tang is very fun. But since even my mother-in-law said so, I don't think there is anything else to do with him, so you can wait for three days in peace, and the three days have passed. I think Grandma will definitely bring you back a complete Master Tang. Grandma does things, you can rest assured. ”
Chang Qianqian didn't say much. After pinching Tang Yichuan's face, the meat turned around and left, among which the little black cat was angry and bared his teeth several times, and his face was almost torn by the little black cat.
"Is it reliable? The old lady? Murong Qingshu waited until Chang Qianqian left before asking.
"I know that this old lady must be reliable, these three days, we just need to wait for news." Chu Yan said affirmatively.
This old lady Qi is quite a famous character among the demigods. Every demigod has a lot of respect for Old Lady Qi, she is the only one who was born a demigod, but there is a real god who invites her to the god realm halfway. It's just that Old Lady Qi wanted to be an ordinary person, so she chose to stay in the world and didn't go to the god realm.
Even so. Old Lady Qi's status cannot be shaken among all the demigods.
Although the old lady always said that she was not a demigod, every year at about the same time, demigods from all over the world would come to visit the old lady Qi.
Basically, as long as Mrs. Qi gives an order, it is not a problem for all the demigod organizations to be unified into one, and Mrs. Qi is a very upright person, she is very serious about doing things, and she often does good deeds, and is called a bodhisattva by many people.
Chu Yan had heard a little about the old lady, so he wasn't worried that the old lady wouldn't help them.
On that day, Chu Yan and Nalan Ning were very relaxed, but Tang Yichuan in the other world was in a state of extreme nervousness.
When he had a premonition that someone here was going to do something to them, Tang Yichuan felt that they absolutely couldn't continue to sit still, they had to leave this place, they didn't want to die, they didn't want to be wiped out, they didn't want to become no one or a ghost, they had to leave.
Knowing that Nalan Ning and they must be worried about themselves, Tang Yichuan planned to go back and take a look regardless of whether he was dead or alive.
The fake Taoist priest and An Yang were on the side to help Tang Yichuan, and the rest of the ghosts who had a general understanding of their situation came to help Tang Yichuan, they used some talismans and other things on their bodies to block the charms that were painted on the wall, and Tang Yichuan used the yin and yang tree vines to open the window, and the yin and yang tree vines grew out of the ground outside with difficulty, and then began to push the window little by little.
Tang Yichuan worked hard, sweating profusely, and it took more than an hour to open the window.
It was late at night, just in time for them to escape.
Originally, Tang Yichuan was going to tell these ghosts some precautions, but before he could speak, some ghosts pushed him away and began to run outside.
Tang Yichuan didn't have time to speak at all, and he had no interest in caring about the life or death of these ghosts after being pushed like this.
An Yang helped Tang Yichuan and said to Tang Yichuan: "I see that there may be something to stop ghosts outside, let's wait for them to leave, and then take advantage of the chaos to go out." (To be continued......)
