The black snow swept down with the bleak wind, and the sky over the main hall was covered with bleak clouds. The screams that floated out of the hall were very terrible, which made Zhu Maichen's heart sink when he heard it. But judging from the voice, it was not the Emperor of Xudu, so Zhu Maichen did not show shock and panic, only because the screams were too poignant, so a little fear appeared between his facial features.

Today's winter solstice is a big festival in the underworld, and according to the rule, the Emperor Xudu wants to eat human souls. In the past ten years, there have been many abortions in the world, which can just satisfy the appetite of Emperor Xudu. Almost all the spirit babies formed because of abortion have become the food on the plate of the Emperor Xudu after entering the underworld.

Those human souls that were eaten by the Emperor Xudu were not swallowed by him as soon as he opened his mouth. Or bite the neck directly, that is, tear the throat with one mouth, and before the soul and body turn into powder, their ghost blood is like a long whale absorbing water, and it will be sucked clean in an instant.

It is said that when he saw the Emperor Xudu devouring and devouring his ghosts, all of them were terrified. Even the ghost generals who have been on the battlefield in the underworld and have escaped death many times in the shadow of swords and swords do not dare to look directly at this process. Therefore, Zhu Maichen did not take a step forward for a long time, nor did he rush to report. And when he stood outside the temple gate, he kept his head bowed, and he didn't dare to glance at the bloody mist in the hall.

It wasn't until a moment after the continuous screams in the hall had subsided that he straightened his robe outside the hall and said aloud to the hall: "Minister Zhu Maichen, I am ordered to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty." ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Emperor Xudu came from the main hall: "Enter!" There was obvious pleasure in the words, not as gloomy as before, but full of murderous aura.

It seems that today's human soul feast, the Emperor Xudu is still happy.

Zhu Maichen replied and stepped forward. When he crossed the threshold of vermilion lacquer carved gold, a burst of sour water suddenly surged in his stomach, and the river and sea rose in his internal organs.

On the originally gorgeous hall, the ghost blood red mist was confused, and shocking red ghost blood spots and blood stains could be seen everywhere, scattered on the ground of the gold bricks and on the golden pillars of the main hall.

It seems that this year, Emperor Xudu has used most of the human souls used to feed his stomach to tear his throat and suck blood, and there are not too many souls that are devoured alive.

Especially the pungent blood in the blood mist made Zhu Maichen very uncomfortable. He struggled to endure the nausea and frowned tightly before he forcibly suppressed the vomiting.

Zhu Maichen walked quickly to the depths of the main hall, stood in front of the Emperor Xudu who was sitting cross-legged on the straw mat, and after kneeling down with a wat, he gave a dull sound to the Emperor Xudu, who was looking comfortable and was picking his teeth: "Minister Zhu Maichen, I have seen Your Majesty." ”。

With his forehead pressed against the cold floor tiles, he didn't dare to raise his head.

"Are you ready?" asked Emperor Xudu slowly.

"Yes, the minister will set off in a moment. Zhu Maichen, who was kneeling on the ground, still didn't dare to raise his head.

Emperor Xudu, who burped, spewed a stream of blood from his mouth.

Zhu Maichen, who was kneeling in front of him, couldn't help frowning again.

"After going, first unite those Hades Kings in the continent and unite their ghost soldiers to conquer the Qingqiu Kingdom. But all the ghost people of Qingqiu Country, as long as they have a table leg high, all of them will be beheaded, regardless of men, women, old and young. Emperor Xudu's eyes narrowed slightly, becoming a slit, and a fierce murderous aura suddenly appeared in his eyes, and the candle flame on the lampstand beside him also swayed with the cold wind brought by the murderous aura.

Suddenly, the facial features on Emperor Xudu's face were shrouded in shaky darkness.

"The rest of the imps were all castrated and sent to the palace as slaves. Before Zhu Maichen could respond, the Emperor of Xudu gave him another appalling order: "Or distribute it to the sergeants as military rations." ”。

"No. After Emperor Xudu said those words calmly, Zhu Maichen, who frowned, responded tremblingly.

"In order for you to better control the situation in Dongying Continent, so that after quelling the rebellion in the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, you can better set aside the Hades princes in other continents, I have sent you an additional 3,000 ghosts and 1,000 supernatural ghosts, as well as a right-hand man. Then, Emperor Xudu, who spoke slowly, raised his hand and patted it lightly after saying this.

The crisp applause immediately echoed in the gorgeous hall where the golden pillars stood and the gold bricks paved the ground.

Before the applause landed, a burly human soul wearing a people's hat, a Qionghua on it, and holding a yellow dragon spear stepped on a black ghost cloud, floated in from outside the hall, and stood beside Zhu Maichen.

This ghost's skin is purple and black, but his face is white and bloodless. Before he stood still, he bent his knees and knelt on the ground, and bowed to the Emperor Xudu.

Zhu Maichen was curious, turned his head slightly to look at the ghost, and instantly recognized the ghost, it was Marshal Meng Shan, one of the ten Taibao of Dongyue who sang praises in the world.

Speaking of this Monshan, when he was in the world, he was indeed an upright prison officer as the legend in the world said. He is also benevolent, righteous, filial, and daring.

But when he arrived in the underworld, he was admitted as a civil servant of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and he gradually became fond of being in the same league with evil gods like Emperor Xudu. The Northern Yin Dynasty plotted to kill people's souls, and he Mengshan was not less involved.

Let's not talk about it from afar, let's talk about the year before Xiao Shizhu came to the underworld, the human soul riot that occurred in Kunlun Continent was quelled by his command. After being pacified, in order to curry favor with Emperor Xudu, Monsan did not hesitate to escort the surrendered prisoners of war into Beijing, blocking the face of the ghost people in the city, and beheading them one by one.

It is said that the nearly 100,000 captives were beheaded for three days and three nights before they were killed. The executioners who carried out the beheading had a few decapitation knives in their hands before they slaughtered all those human souls.

This incident made the ghost people in Xudu and the Six Heavens Continent all shocked, and they still have lingering palpitations. And Monsan was also praised by Emperor Xudu.

This kind of inhumane thing, he Monshan has done a lot, for no other reason, but because the myths of the world are just people's beautiful sustenance. The reality is that Monsan, with his enthusiasm and justice, has to succumb to the ancient god Emperor Xudu, who is the only ghost in the underworld.

In order not to be reincarnated into pigs, dogs, cows and sheep, he had to cater to the Emperor Xudu and be with him through thick and thin. Otherwise, he can only go to the world to be a chicken, duck or pig and dog, and inevitably end up with the fate of being a knife and a fish. In the next life, he became a beast soul of a pig and a dog or a chicken and duck, and when he reached the underworld, he was the food of his ghost stomach.

For thousands of years, Meng Shan had to carry him in his hand at this time, and two lifelike Yellow Dragon spears were carved out of the handle of the gun, fighting for the Beiyin Dynasty. Slaughtering the city and slaughtering the living beings, just so that he would not become a meal for others and his ghosts.

I don't know how the people who worship him as a good god in the world, build monuments and temples, and worship incense will feel after knowing this?

Outside the main hall, the wind and snow became more and more fierce, and the biting cold wind howled wildly, sweeping away large black snowflakes, bringing a rich yin qi to shake the branches, and it seemed to be rampage between heaven and earth.

The yin qi rushed up to the main hall, making the hall even more cold, coupled with the fierce murderous aura in the eyes of the Emperor Xudu, he called Zhu Maichen and Meng Shan when he landed, and they were all breathless and speechless.

"Meng Shan, I originally kept the trump card to deal with Xiao Shizhu, but Dongyizhou has existed in name only, and Dongyingzhou must be firmly controlled by the imperial court, so I will send you as an assistant. Emperor Xudu's still murderous gaze fell on Zhu Maichen, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "I hope you don't live up to my high hopes." ”......

In Dongyizhou at the time of the winter solstice, like the Nanban south of Xuanyan Continent, like most areas, there is no heavy snowfall, but there are violent storms and rains falling from the sky, tirelessly washing away all tangible things on the ground over and over again.

Under the dark clouds, lightning and thunder roared, and bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky and scattered in the Dome City, bringing bursts of crackling sounds.

In the middle of the city, stands majestically the Lanyue Tower, on the high cornices and corners, dripping water is like a waterfall, bringing a burst of uproar.

The water splashed down from the cornices of the upper floors, blurring the lights in the building. Wei Xiang was sitting on a treasure chair in the depths of the lobby on the first floor, and now it was a shotgun change, and he was wearing a gown woven of silk and satin, with the dragon medal on his shoulder, the mountain medal on his back, and the fire and Chinese insects and Zong Yi on his sleeves.

On his head, he also wore the crown of Xuanbiao Zhuli, and hung down nine times before and after. Every five picks and reels are nine, and five are picked and jade are nine, and there is a small sound in a slight flicker.

It's really a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and wearing such a gorgeous costume on his body, the old man also has a bit of the prestige of the princes of the underworld.

Now he has set himself up as a king, claiming to be the king of the heavens, and the land he occupies has become a ghost country, called the Six Heavenly Kingdoms. In addition, many days also added civil and military seals in the territory he occupied, privately appointed a large number of ghost officials and ghost generals, and ordered hundreds of officials to issue a new calendar, and minted the dark coins that belonged to him.

This series of measures all showed that he had parted ways with the Northern Yin Dynasty and Emperor Xudu from then on. And in the territory, the recruitment of troops and the opening of mines and drums are to prepare for the mining of the Beiyin Dynasty one day.

In addition to resenting Emperor Xudu for killing his best friend Zong Tian, there is also a crazy idea that Xiao Shizhu can be the king of Hades, dominate one side, and fight with the Northern Yin Dynasty with a straight waist, why can't he do it for many days?

It's just that he didn't have Xiao Shizhu's ability, so he took office, and he encountered the siege of other ghost countries in Dongyi Continent, except for the Nine Shadows Kingdom. Even Dayi and Fusangguo, who were wagging their tails and begging in front of him, sent millions of troops overnight and seized ten outposts in his border towns in a row, which made him a headache for many days.

Fortunately, the Xudu army under the command of Tsu Tian was also experienced in a hundred battles, and after losing more than a dozen town outposts, they did not let the enemy army go further.

repeatedly raised his eyes and raised his eyes to look at the two souls in front of him, one tall and one short. The tall and majestic ghost was the general of the flail, the golden yoke, wearing a golden hoop and a red embroidered robe, with a fierce face on his red round face, and his protruding eyes and fangs, which made him even more hideous;

These two guys originally went out to Manjiang City in the Nine Shadows Country on a cloudy day, but after the cloudy day was ambushed, they were defeated with hundreds of remnants and fled back in embarrassment.

The punishment of the defeated soldiers in the Northern Yin Dynasty was very severe, and it was often eighty strokes with a cane, and even beheading or extermination in serious cases. And many days just took advantage of the ghost generals of the Northern Yin Dynasty and were afraid of harsh punishments, so they successfully won over these two ghost generals who had been loyal to the Emperor of Xudu.

And now, if you want to resolve the passivity and disadvantage of being attacked on all sides, you have to pin your trust on these two ghosts.

The inquiring gaze in the eyes of the sky, after sweeping the faces of the two ghosts, said suspiciously: "Now that you are currying favor with the Nine Shadow Country, can you really let the Nine Shadow Kingdom send troops?"

"Of course. The flail general did not speak, but the lock general Yinsuo said: "The Nine Shadows Kingdom is our ally, and it has signed a non-aggression pact, as long as the king begs the Nine Shadows King, he will not die without help." ”。
