"Senior brother, what are you going to do?"

Lin Jiu thought for a while and said, "With you and me, it is impossible for Jiang Jian to be the opponent. ”

"If we gather all the senior brothers together, whether they believe you and me one-sidedly or not, even if they are all on our side, we may not be Jiang Jian's opponents."

"At this point, there's only one way."

"What's the solution?" The four-eyed Taoist asked.

"My next trip to the underworld will be to meet my former colleagues and ask them to help."

"Senior brother, will it be dangerous to do this, are you sure?" The four-eyed Taoist said worriedly.

Lin Jiu shook his head and said, "It's hard to say if the danger is great. But that's the only way to do it at the moment. ”

"Kezhi is still in retreat in Maoshan today. At the beginning, Jiang Jian also ordered Ke Zhi to go to the secret realm of the back mountain for retreat, who knows what Jiang Jian's idea was? ”

"However, no matter what Jiang Jian's idea is, Ke Zhi should be fine in the short term."

The four-eyed Dao chief sighed, and after a while, asked, "Senior brother, when are you going to go to the underworld?" ”

"Without further ado, tonight."

"I'll help you prepare the altar."

The four-eyed Taoist nodded, this was the only thing he could do now.

In the evening, the sun had just set, and it was not yet completely dark.

The ninth uncle wore a crown and a robe, standing alone behind the altar.

The four-eyed Taoist and the others watched intently.

"Ah Jiu, shall I go down with you?" Xiaoli said with some concern.

Lin Jiu smiled: "No, you also know that it is very inappropriate for you to go back, if you are ...... by that corpse"

Speaking of this, Lin Jiu paused: "I'll just go alone, and ordinary ghosts can't threaten me." ”

"Senior brother, you should be more careful alone." The four-eyed road is long.

Lin Jiu nodded: "If it goes well, I can come back before dawn, even if it doesn't go well, it will only take three days at most." ”

"Before I come back, you must not act rashly and look for trouble with Jiang Jian, everything will be said when I come back."

Lin Jiu's gaze turned to his two trouble-making apprentices, Wencai and Qiusheng.

"Especially you two, I used to indulge you too much."

"This time the stakes are high, and if we are not careful, we will all die unexpectedly, or even never recover."

"You two are not allowed to go anywhere these days, so stay in Yizhuang and cultivate with peace of mind."

"Yes, Master." Wencai and Qiusheng answered honestly.

After Uncle Nine gave everything, he began to chant mantras.

The chilly evening breeze blew and blew the candlelight flickering, light and dark.

More than ten minutes later, with a burst of angry howling yin wind, the figure of Uncle Nine chanting spells came to an abrupt end.

Wen Cai, Qiusheng and others all used the Yin Eye Opening Mantra to open the Yin and Yang Eyes at this time.

I saw an illusory figure break away from Uncle Jiu's body, be swept up by the wind, and be carried into the air.

And in mid-air, I don't know when there was a straight gap.

In the cracks, a gloomy world looms and exudes multiple strange lights.

Two ghosts, armed with soul hooks and mourning sticks, were waiting respectfully at the edge of the gap.

Uncle Nine glanced back at everyone, bowed slightly, and then flashed into the world behind the gap.

Fukang County, Jiangjia Underground Palace.

"Five hundred years ago, I searched all over the world for more than ten years."

"In the end, I found that the Nine Yin Absolute Evil Land, which I had been searching for many years but could not obtain, was actually in my Jiang family."

Jiang Changming carried Yu Ke's wax puppet into the underground palace, followed by the old man Yu Ke had seen at the door of Jiang's house before.

At this time, the old man was carrying Yu Ke's body with another person dressed as a servant.

The Jiang family's underground palace is very wide, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this underground palace is an underground city without seeing the end at a glance.

The dungeon was gloomy and extremely cold, but there was no sign of condensation of water droplets.

The dense figure didn't say a word, walking around inside and outside this underground palace, and he didn't know what he was doing.

When Jiang Changming walked into the underground palace, those figures brushed the ground and turned their heads to look at him.

After staring for three or four seconds, they looked away and continued to do their own thing.

Jiang Changming seemed to be unaware, and continued to say to Yu Ke:

"My Jiang family ancestor was a fourth-grade military attache in the Ming Dynasty."

"Later, the Jiang family gradually declined, and turned to the candle business."

"It was also since then that the Jiang family mastered a technique of sealing the corpse with wax mud to make the corpse incorruptible for thousands of years."

"I combined this technique with alchemy, and I succeeded in creating the people you saw in the dungeon."

"What are they?" In the wax puppet, Yu Ke couldn't help but ask.

"Wax corpses."

Jiang Changming said with a smile: "Unlike ordinary zombies, wax corpses have sanity and memory. ”

"These wax corpses are all made by me, and each wax corpse is sealed with their own wisp of earth soul."

"The memories of his life have been preserved intact."

"They only need to eat some wax meat and wax paste that I specially developed every day, and they can live forever, which can be regarded as a method of immortality."

"Do you really think it's alive?" Yu Ke said.

"All I saw was a bunch of machines, a bunch of puppets."

"Even when I close my eyes, I can clearly feel the resentment and pain they exude."

"What you give them is not immortality, but torture."

Jiang Changming was silent for a while:

"You don't understand. Even a painful life is better than a death where everything is reduced to nothingness. ”

"Have you ever died? How do you know they don't want to die? Yu Ke immediately asked rhetorically.

"Huh." Jiang Changming smiled lightly, not wanting to argue with Yu Ke.

He reached out and stopped a wax corpse, a woman in a white embroidered skirt.

"This is my wife more than 200 years ago, her name is Bai Jun'er."

Yu Ke sneered: "It's your wife?" ”

"Of course." Jiang Changming didn't care about the sarcasm in Yu Ke's tone, and he stopped another old man who was dying.

"I used this body at the time, and he originally belonged to my apprentice Lechang."

"At that time, this body was only in its early forties, which was stronger than Shi Jian's body now."

"After I put on this body, it didn't take long for Bai Jun'er to see the clues, and she wanted to secretly report to the official."

"I had no choice but to make her a wax corpse."

Jiang Changming stroked the woman's face and said:

"That's fine, after Bai Jun'er is made into a wax corpse, not only will she be immortal, but she will also be able to stay young forever and always stay at the most beautiful age."

A stiff smile appeared on Bai Jun'er's face.

As he spoke, Jiang Changming stretched out his hand again to stop a girl who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, and held the girl in his arms.

"Na, this is my daughter, Le Baiyan."

Yu Ke only felt a chill that almost froze his soul, and he didn't want to listen to it anymore, so he roared angrily:

"Jiang Changming, shut up! You total lunatic! ”

Jiang Changming laughed: "Kezhi, you don't understand, you don't understand." ”

"How old are you? How many joys and sorrows, life and death, have you seen in the world? ”

"Do you know how long I've lived? I'm 632 years old! ”

"If you are my age, let you watch your loved ones and friends you care about leave one by one and turn to dust."

"And when you have no way to save it, you will definitely make the same choice as me!"

…………

Underworld.

The capital city.

In front of a mansion with two large red lanterns hanging at the door.

"Brother Lin!"

A man in official uniform, seeing Lin Jiu coming with the two ghosts from a distance, his face was happy, and he immediately shouted.

"Brother Wang."

Lin Jiu stepped forward quickly and gave a salute.

"What are you doing here? You and my brother still need such politeness? ”

The man's face was displeased, and he grabbed one of Lin Jiu's hands with one hand and pulled him towards the mansion.

Lin Jiu smiled and said, "Brother Wang, it's been a long time. ”

"It's been a long time, almost fifty years, right?"

This man surnamed Wang is named He Zhongliang, a native of the Song Dynasty, and is one of the generals in charge of the Yin soldiers in the Yin Division today, and has the Yin God Realm cultivation.

Before the end of heaven and earth, He Zhongliang was also a city god.

After the immortal god left, he was transferred to the military department, filled the vacancy, and was promoted to the rank of Yin general. and Lin Jiu's experience is much the same.

He and Lin Jiu have been colleagues for three or four hundred years, and the two can be said to have a good relationship.

"Come, you've been waiting for a long time, come in."

He Zhongliang brought Lin Jiu into the mansion and walked towards the main hall.

At this time, four or five round tables were set up in the courtyard, and each round table was filled with guests.

"When I learned that you were going back to the underworld, I specially informed my colleagues, except for those who had important things to do, almost everyone else came."

When the guests in the Yuan Hall saw Lin Jiu, they all stood up and bowed:

"Judge Lin! Long time no see! ”

"Judge Lin, I haven't seen you for many years, but your demeanor is still the same!"

"Judge Lin, do you remember the villain?"

"Judge Lin!"

……

Lin Jiu bowed his hand in return: "Your colleagues are here to greet me, it's really tormenting me!" ”

He Zhongliang also smiled: "Everyone sit down." ”

He dragged Lin Jiu to an empty room, there was only a small table in the room, and a pot of wine and a few snacks were placed on the table.

He Zhongliang personally poured Lin Jiu a glass of wine.

After a few glasses of wine, He Zhongliang asked:

"Brother Lin, I remember that your life is not over, why did you suddenly return to the underworld?"

Lin Jiu sighed and said, "This matter is a little difficult to talk about. ”

"When I came back this time, I actually wanted to ask Brother Wang for a favor."

He Zhongliang said with a straight face when he heard this: "Brother Lin, please say, but if I can do it, I will not refuse!" ”

Lin Jiu was silent for a while, and said, "This matter is very important, and it has a lot to do with that corpse demon outside the city. ”

"Brother Wang, do you remember the origin of that corpse demon?"

"Naturally, I remember that the corpse demon was the corpse of Jiang Changming, the palace master of the Heavenly Corpse Palace in the human world." He Zhongliang said.

Lin Jiu immediately told his experience in the past two months, and then revealed his guesses and speculations.

He Zhongliang listened carefully, and his face became more and more solemn.

After Lin Jiu finished telling the cause and effect, He Zhongliang was silent for a long time and said:

"If Brother Lin's guess is true, then wouldn't Jiang Jian have been stranded in the world for hundreds of years?"

"And the forbidden technique you said is really appalling."

Lin Jiu said with a serious face: "Brother Wang, if I have half a lie......

He Zhongliang hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Lin, what are you talking about!" You and I have been brothers for hundreds of years, and I can't see if you say you're not lying? ”

"It's just, alas."

He Zhongliang sighed: "Brother Lin, how do you want me to help you!" ”

Lin Jiu poured himself a glass of wine, and after taking a sip: "I want to borrow troops from you!" ”

He Zhongliang was stunned: "Borrowing soldiers? Are you kidding me? ”

Seeing that Lin Jiu didn't seem to be joking at all, He Zhongliang slapped his palm on the table, leaned back on the back of the chair, and turned his head.

After a while, he said quietly: "How many soldiers do you want to borrow?" ”

Lin Jiu stretched out three fingers.

"Three hundred?" He Zhongliang breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, three thousand."

"Three thousand?! Do you know how many Yin soldiers I have now?! ”

He Zhongliang slapped the table and shouted angrily:

"I only have a total of 5,000 Yin soldiers under my command, and you want to borrow 3,000 from me?!"

"In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the more soldiers and horses there are, the better."

Lin Jiudao: "That Jiang Jian has lived for hundreds of years, and he has taken away I don't know how many people. ”

"Even if I awaken Su Hui and recover my memory, I can't hold three moves in front of him."

"Then it won't take three thousand, right?"

He Zhongliang said: "At most, you will be given a thousand Yin soldiers." ”

"Then it's decided!" Lin Jiu spoke quickly, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, and poured He Zhongliang full of wine.

He Zhongliang's face was full of astonishment when he heard this.

"Okay, you Lin Jiu, you haven't changed for decades, and you're still so cunning!" He Zhongliang said depressedly.

"You're coming back this time, just for this?" He Zhongliang asked.

Lin Jiu shook his head: "There is one more important thing, I must do it too." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to meet the corpse demon outside the city."

He Zhongliang frowned and said, "What are you fooling about? You weren't his opponent before you were reincarnated, and now you go to see him and find death? ”

Since the only three remaining primordial gods in the Yin Division have been reincarnated into reincarnation, there is no one in the Yin Division who can balance the corpse demon.

So much so that he was besieged by the other party and led by his subordinate ghost kings to besiege the capital for seventy or eighty years.

Let the face of the yin be shattered, and you can't pick it up.

Now there are a few years of Taoist ghosts, and they dare not take the yin ghost in their eyes.

Lin Jiu smiled with a little bitterness, a little free, and asked:

"I heard Xiaoli say that the corpse demon has to attack the city every two years, but is there such a thing?"

He Zhongliang lowered his head and said, "There is such a thing." ”

"That corpse demon has to drive away tens of thousands of living souls every two years and attack the capital city."

"But the capital city was built by the emperor himself three thousand years ago."

"Even if he gives that corpse demon another five hundred years, he won't be able to shake the capital city!"

Lin Jiu frowned, stared at He Zhongliang's eyes, and said, "Then I'll ignore that corpse demon and let him keep attacking the city?" ”

He Zhongliang was silent and did not speak.

Lin Jiu turned around: "Didn't that corpse demon say that the reason why he attacked the city was to return to the yang world and seek revenge on that Jiang Jian?" ”

"In that case, then I'll go and capture Jiang Jian back to the underworld and hand it over to the corpse demon, so he has no reason to attack the city again."

"How can you guarantee that the corpse demon will keep his word?" He Zhongliang asked.

Lin Jiu said: "I can't guarantee it." ”

"But that's the only way I can think of."
