Old Walnut has completely lost his confidence under my interrogation.
He let me put the mahogany sword around his neck, and his voice trembled as he said the answer I wanted.
The underworld of the Demon Capital is hierarchical, similar to the human society in the feudal era. The ghosts have an orderly food chain in the underworld, and this food chain is made up of five parts.
When a ghost who has just died and whose soul is still alive enters the underworld, it is the fifth of the five classes in the underworld, that is, the most humble one, and is often called a "disciple."
These "disciples" are new to the city, and they basically have little ability, they are more like headless flies, and everything needs to be learned. This is also the origin of the title "disciple".
And these ghosts basically don't play a role in the underworld. Those who are lucky enough to be carried by their elders have the possibility of climbing upwards, but most of them will be devoured by powerful ghosts and directly become a tonic for other ghosts.
The upper class of "disciples", that is, the fourth class of the underworld, is called "apprentices". Judging from the name, the identity of the "apprentice" is more formal than that of the "disciple", these ghosts have survived the first stage, and their ability and experience have improved to a certain extent, although they are not yet strong, but they have the ability to protect themselves.
And the ghosts of this class are also the most numerous existence in the underworld of the demon capital, and the lonely ghosts scattered on the streets late at night are often "apprentices".
Old Walnut is no longer an apprentice, he has entered the third level of the Demon City's underworld, called "Mentor".
It's a bit funny to say the name, because it says it's a mentor, but in fact, these ghosts don't play any role as a "mentor" at all.
The ghosts of this class did not dare to provoke the high-level ghosts of the previous two classes, and only dared to bully the "apprentices" and "disciples", and the reason why they became "mentors" was only because their pursuit of apprentices and disciples would make the low-level ghosts of these two classes force themselves to become stronger and upgrade......
And in the underworld of the Demon Capital, it is the two highest classes that can really play a decisive role.
The second class "masters", and the first class "lords".
The ghosts of these two classes combined may only be in double digits in the entire demon capital, and they are considered to be one of the few elites in the entire underworld.
Especially the "lords", there are only a handful of lords in the underworld, the number of people is within a slap, and the strongest of them is called the "great lord".
The "lord" has the power to formulate the rules of the entire demon capital of the underworld, and also manages the direction of the entire underworld. They are the real ruling class. As for the "masters", although these ghosts have a certain right to participate in the management of the underworld, they are more often the executors of the orders of the "lord".
Old Walnut told me that the reason why Chen Qingyi can speak in the underworld is because Chen Qingyi has a great relationship with a "lord" in the underworld, and as for what is wrong with it, that is what he doesn't know.
As a "mentor", Old Walnut is only responsible for carrying out orders.
I'm almost done, and the Night Generals have already killed all these ghosts. Old Walnut knew that it was about to be her turn, and trembled pitifully, and knelt down before me and begged for mercy.
I looked at the old walnut and asked the last question: who had relayed the order to intercept us.
Old Walnut told me that this order came from a "master" of the underworld, who lived in a temple three kilometers away, and his name was Zhu Sixteen, an old ghost who had wandered from the Huaiyang area, and was said to have died in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty......
As for who the lord who had a close relationship with Chen Qingyi was, the old walnut was unknown.
Old Walnut has a good attitude, and I have all the information I want. In that case, I can't kill him.
The Night General was waiting to eat the old ghost, and when he heard me say that he would spare his life, he instantly became depressed.
But seeing that Old Walnut is a reasonable old ghost, I might as well sell my favor. Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future.
Old Walnut thanked him for his gratitude, and the whole alley had been cleaned up by us.
Yulian and Yingying didn't linger long, and when everything was over, they returned to their own blood jade.
I was holding a peachwood sword, and I was just about to share the news I had just asked, when I suddenly heard footsteps not far away...... The footsteps sounded familiar, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat......
The Night General flapped his wings and flew out to take a look, and was so frightened that he almost fell out of mid-air.
The old bird flew towards the tree without saying a word, and as soon as I saw its reaction, I knew who it was.
Sure enough, a moment later, Rao Xiaoyan's sharp voice broke through the air: "Yang Ye? Panda? You two get the hell out of here! โ
Panda and I hurriedly walked out of the alley and respectfully saluted Rao Xiaoyan.
Thanks to Sister Rao's arrival now, if she had come a few minutes earlier, she would have seen a terrifying battle between humans and ghosts.
Although Rao Xiaoyan looks quite good-looking, she is not particular about the big horn, and when she comes out at night, she is still wearing a pair of floral pajamas, carrying a pu fan in her hand, and she is dressed like a walking aunt.
Seeing me and the panda obediently going out, Rao Xiaoyan's anger disappeared a little. In a blink of an eye, seeing me holding a peachwood sword in my hand, Sister Rao actually laughed for the first time: "Oh, Yang Ye, what are you holding in your hand?" Show me? โ
I hurriedly handed over the peachwood sword, Rao Xiaoyan took it in his hand, looked at it twice, and sneered: "I said that you went out to perform, did you really come to perform?" Where did you buy this deceptive thing? Who to fool? Go out and dance on a big night? โ
I knew that Sister Rao definitely didn't believe in these feudal superstitions, and I knew that I would put away the guy I ate earlier.
Fortunately, although Sister Rao's mouth was a little damaged, she didn't smash my sword. After teaching us another lesson, he drove me and the panda home with a fan.
The cunning old bird of the Night General followed far behind, waiting for a while to go back through the window. In the face of this menopausal landlord aunt, the dignified and mighty night general was helpless.
When I arrived at the door of my house, I suddenly thought of Zhu Sixteen's old nest, and I asked Rao Xiaoyan if she knew that there was a temple three kilometers away, called Huayan Temple.
Rao Xiaoyan nodded and said: "I know, there is no incense in that broken ground, they are all negative people who have deceived and done bad things and have no place to atone for their sins, what's the matter, is it possible that a few of you are guilty of doing bad things?" Want to donate some incense money? โ
Comrade Rao Xiaoyan's three sentences are not detached from people, and asking for a place name can damage me and the panda, and I am also convinced.
I said that we would not donate incense, but to ask about the situation there, if there were any legends or anything like that.
Rao Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, scolded for being neurotic, and went back to sleep by herself.
Panda and I finally got rid of Rao Xiaoyan's verbal attack and hurried home, and General Night was already squatting on the windowsill waiting for us to open the window and let him in.
After welcoming the Night General, the three of us gathered together and gathered in the living room to prepare the next step.
General Ye said that we now have two paths: the first is to find Chen Qingyi directly, whether it is assassination or fire, no matter what method is used, to solve the root of the contradiction is to solve him. The second one, Shun Teng found the so-called "lord" and cut off the connection between Chen Qingyi and the demon capital, so that we can complete the task of the Rouge Yaksha and give her a foothold in Shanghai, at least let her successfully land without worries.
I thought about it carefully, and now I have a direct confrontation with Chen Qingyi, but I'm afraid that we don't have the strength. And does the Rouge Yaksha have any intention of coming over in a short period of time...... For today's plan, it seems that we can only follow the vine and start from the underworld in Shanghai.
At this time, Comrade Panda provided a very good idea, he believed that the reason why Chen Qingyi was able to control the underworld in Shanghai may be by some means, because the character of the ghost is suspicious and volatile, and it is by no means a species that can be restrained by "relationships". Chen Qingyi must have some kind of handle or some kind of artifact in his hand, and he can directly manipulate the mysterious "lord". In this case, if we obtain the same handle or "magic weapon" as Chen Qingyi, we may be able to use the powerful ghosts of the underworld for our own use.
