Chapter Eighty-Nine: Master Wan
Qi Xuansu hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the old man, how do I leave this place?" ”
"If you come, you will be safe." The old man motioned to Qi Xuansu to be calm and not to be impatient, "The Ghost Country Cave Heaven is regarded as a forbidden place by the Daomen, and idlers can't set foot on it, since it's here, it's better to follow the old man around, and I don't know when I come next time." ”
Qi Xuan had the heart to refuse, but he also knew that his way to leave the Ghost Country Cave Heaven safely would fall on the mysterious old man in front of him, and being escorted by the Daomen Spirit Officer to leave the Ghost Country Cave Heaven was not a safe departure.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to agree: "I don't dare to ask for it." ”
"Do you want to? I don't think I'm reluctant to see Xiaoyou's expression. The old man laughed and turned to walk in front.
The little girl glanced at Qi Xuansu and jumped behind the old man.
Qi Xuansu walked a few steps briskly, keeping up with the old man, slightly half a position behind.
Everywhere the old man went, the white mist dissipated, revealing his true face behind him.
Even if Qi Xuansu didn't have a deep impression of the imperial capital, he could recognize it as a typical imperial style, no different from the long street he had walked before, but there was no half of the "human" figure.
Qi Xuansu faintly felt that it was not that there were no "people", but that the "people" were all hiding, as if an army was crossing the border, and every household was closed, not daring to walk around the street.
Just as he was thinking, countless white mist converged at the old man's feet, and then turned into a rainbow bridge.
The old man led his granddaughter directly to the Hongqiao.
Qi Xuansu raised his eyes and couldn't see the end of the Hongqiao at a glance, but could only see the depths leading to the fog.
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, and also walked on the Hongqiao, although his feet were soft, as if he was stepping on cotton, but he was down-to-earth and did not fall directly.
Qi Xuansu said: "I haven't asked the old gentleman for his name yet." ”
The old man who walked in front did not reply: "The old man's surname is Yin, his name is Jiuyin, the nine of Jiujiu Double Yang, the Yin of Yin and Yang, Yin Jiuyin." ”
"Please forgive the juniors for taking the liberty of the juniors, Mr. Yin's name is slightly heavier." Qi Xuansu said.
The old man smiled: "An old ghost, not called Jiuyin, is it called Jiuyang?" ”
The little girl interjected: "Grandpa, I heard that the name is particular, if there is something missing in the life, you have to make up for something in the name, grandpa is indeed lacking yang, it should be called Jiuyang." ”
"It's not big, it's not too small." The old man laughed and scolded, "Yin is yang and yang is born, and nine yin is yang." ”
"I see." The little girl said suddenly.
Although the old man claimed to be a thousand-year-old ghost, Qi Xuansu still hadn't seen whether this old man was a human or a ghost, no matter what the situation was, it showed that the old man's realm cultivation was much higher than him, so he could only follow him step by step.
After walking for a long time, Hongqiao has completely extended into the thick
In the mist, although the old man passed by, the clouds were still open and the fog dispersed, as if the cloak broke the waves, but Qi Xuansu looked to both sides, it was still the fog rolling, and he couldn't see the reality clearly, as if he was walking on the sea of clouds and fog, and even the surrounding fog and the rainbow bridge formed by the condensation of the fog had been connected, regardless of each other, if it weren't for the old man leading the way in front, Qi Xuansu would have to worry that he would fall down with one foot in the air.
After walking a little further, the Hongqiao finally began to descend, and the Hongqiao under his feet became clear again.
Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief.
Wait until leaving Hongqiao, finally down-to-earth, the old man waved his hand, the fog in front of him receded to both sides, showing a huge palace gate and continuous city wall, the whole body is constructed with black boulders, looking at its pattern, it is not so much an inner city, but rather a palace city, nearly ten zhang high, the word "noon gate" is written on the city gate.
There is often a saying in the drama that "the noon gate is decapitated", which is talking about this gate.
Qi Xuansu was shocked, is this really a replica of the imperial capital?
The old man pointed to the noon gate and said: "The lord of the soap pavilion back then was known as the 'Netherworld Heavenly Son', so the entire imperial capital was reproduced in the ghost country, and it was called the 'Netherworld Emperor Palace' by the people of the Daomen. Without these fogs, no matter which direction you are in the city, you can clearly see this inner city, which is quite similar to the Imperial City of the Imperial Palace. ”
Qi Xuansu asked, "What are these fogs?" ”
Yin Jiuyin said: "These fogs are made by the Daomen, as for the specific reasons and effects...... You'll find out soon. ”
Qi Xuansu nodded and did not continue to ask.
After going out of the noon gate, continue to the south, it is the Chengtian Gate, to the east is the Taimiao, to the west is the Sheji Altar.
The old man did not go out of the gate of heaven, but went to the altar of Sheji.
She Ji altar was built in the previous dynasty Taizong period, opposite to the Taimiao, respectively located in the Chengtian Gate of one left and one right, corresponding to the "left ancestor right society" said, in addition to the community Ji altar, there are worship hall, halberd gate, god library, God kitchen, slaughtering pavilion and so on. The shrine altar is divided into the Taishe altar and the Taiji altar, which are dedicated to the shrine god and the god of Ji. The shrine god is the god of the land, and the god of grass is the god of grains.
Qi Xuansu followed the old man into the community altar.
The sky is yang to the south, the earth is yin to the north, and the society is the land, which belongs to the yin, so the buildings in the altar are all south to the top. The northernmost is the Halberd Gate, which is also the main gate.
Pass the halberd gate, worship the hall, the south of the worship hall is the altar of the Taishe.
However, the Taishe altar has disappeared, only a majestic hall remains, thirty zhang high, if it is not blocked by white fog, I am afraid that it can be seen at the noon gate.
The hall was very strange, boxy, with a very flat roof, no ridges, no tiles, like a stool.
In fact, the hall is indeed a stool.
Because a giant is sitting on a "stool", like a giant god in ancient legends.
That's it, take a closer look
Although this giant has been skinny and bone-like, it seems to be made of countless corpses piled up and spliced, which is extremely infiltrating.
The giant hung his head, wondering if he had been dead for a long time or if he was sleeping.
Yin Jiuyin stopped when there was still a distance of more than 100 zhang between the giant giant and the main hall, as if he was afraid that if he stood too close, the giant would not be able to see him.
Yin Jiuyin opened his mouth and said, "Master Wan! ”
Qi Xuansu only felt a thunderclap explode in his ears, stirring up layer by layer, causing the surrounding mist to roll endlessly.
The giant slowly woke up, comparable to the red light burning in the deep eye sockets of the city gate cave, and what was even more terrifying was that on the skin of this giant, there were countless eyes, dense, and there were tens of thousands. At the same time, there are countless mouths, which reveal Bai Sensen's teeth when they are opened, but there is no tongue in sight, and they constantly spew out yellow and green corpse gas. With the giant's every move, the remains of the corpse that had been completely decomposed continued to fall from it, like dust.
Rao is Qi Xuansu has seen many dead people, but he is still speechless by such a sight.
The so-called "white bones like mountains and birds flying frightened" is nothing more than that.
However, whether it was corpse qi or corpses, after coming into contact with the white mist, they all disappeared.
Qi Xuansu finally knew what these white mist were doing.
"Old ghost, disturb my dreams, what's the matter?" The giant spoke violently, not in a heavy tone, but his voice was too loud and oppressive.
"How's your appetite lately?" Yin Jiuyin asked casually, chatting like an acquaintance, but judging from the names of the two "people", they were indeed acquaintances. If it is not an acquaintance, this kind of question is a little provocative, because if you call people up, you will ask what your appetite is, either you are idle, or it will make people feel that you have the meaning of "can still eat".
The giant replied calmly: "I just ate five hundred last month, and now I am not hungry, and the remaining corpses in the ghost kingdom can last for a hundred years, so there is no need to worry for the time being." ”
When Qi Xuansu heard this, he was shocked again.
This giant known as "Master Wan" actually fed on countless corpses in the ghost country, so the Daomen cleaning up the corpses that Yin Jiuyin said earlier mainly relied on this giant? After all, in such a place, the yin qi is too heavy, and the corpse is only afraid that it will not rot for thousands of years, and it is impossible to expect it to turn into dust, and it is not realistic to bury it in the earth and burn it. As for transporting the corpse out, it is even more impossible, Daomen finally restored Beibi Mountain to its original appearance, and transporting it out is not equivalent to abandoning all previous efforts?
"Very good, very good." Yin Jiuyin nodded and said, "I came here today to borrow something from Master Wan. ”
Master Wan sat up straight, just sitting, he was already more than fifty zhang. If you stand up, won't you be a hundred feet high?
It stared at the ant-like Yin Jiuyin for a while and asked, "That thing?" ”
"Yes." Yin Jiuyin nodded.
