Xue Yan took Han Ye to walk around the long wandering street, chatted about their experiences after separation, and finally met the Iron Knife Dog King who came to find Han Ye.

Xue Yan was embarrassed to introduce Han Ye to Mastiff Lie and said, "Huh! Big stupid dog, that's what I always tell you, the ...... That one. Hey, you know. ”

Mastiff Lie looked at Han Ye, nodded heavily, and said, "It turned out to be Brother Han, then I am relieved." But when he said this, Han Ye could still clearly hear a trace of loss in his tone.

Since it was an embarrassing topic, Han Ye of course had to move elsewhere, and he asked, "Brother Mastiff, how is Feihuang now?" ”

Mastiff Lie sighed: "The Flying Phoenix soul has been damaged for too long, and it has been hundreds of years, and the two Dao Masters of Qingxun and Chili told me that only two percent of them are sure that they can recover, and I see that they are still engrossed in casting spells, so I will come to the street to find you first...... Alas, everything depends on the will of God. ”

Han Ye frowned, and said, "I didn't expect this to happen, if only Dream came with me, maybe she could help." Thinking of Situ Yunmeng, he couldn't help but stroke the yellow ribbon tied around his arm.

Xue Yan saw it in her eyes and thought, "You still have a conscience, you know that you think about her...... Although I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, I still hope that you can be reunited soon, silly. ”

Han Ye asked Mastiff Lie again: "We may be going to fight the Netherworld Ghost Emperor soon, what kind of person is he, does Brother Mastiff know it?" ”

Mastiff said: "I heard the adults of the Ten Halls say that the Netherworld was originally the Ice Ghost King of the Ice Hell, and his appearance was as ugly as many ghost kings, but a few years ago, he got the Qiankun bag of Lingbao Tianzun from nowhere, and sucked the water spirit beads of the Yama Palace, and then changed his appearance with Yin and Cold Water Qi, and became very handsome, but he was relatively less masculine and became a sissy. Saying that, he said with some dissatisfaction: "That day, he went to the Ten Halls to find many Lord Yama, and asked them to posthumously crown himself as the Netherworld Ghost Emperor, and brought the Wind and Thunder Twin Envoys and the Four Yin Shuai, and swaggered through the market under the banner of 'Netherworld', which was really presumptuous. ”

Xue Yan asked, "Then isn't his skill very high?" ”

Mastiff nodded and said, "It's natural. He is the best among the ghost kings, and he is accompanied by many magic weapons, if it is so easy to deal with, how can the ten halls of the Yin Division easily compromise? It makes the underworld think that we are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. Saying that, he said to Han Ye again: "Brother Han, at the moment, the Ten Halls of Yin Si cannot fight with all their strength, and the two immortals of Kongtong have lost their spiritual power in order to treat Feihuang's injuries. It is imperative that you cultivate diligently and give full play to the potential of your soul, so that you will have a better chance of winning. ”

Xue Yan said to Mastiff: "Why are you doing this stupid melon? It's enough to have this woman with you. ”

Mastiff Lie said: "You used the technique of blood worship, although you have saved your soul, but the three souls are sound and the seven spirits are weak, it is difficult to cause strong damage to those ghosts and demons, Brother Han is different, if you cultivate properly, it will not be a problem to fight one enemy and two enemies." ”

"Look down on me!" Xue Yan clasped her hands in front of her and pouted, "No matter what, it's always okay for me to be a military advisor, right?" ”

Mastiff laughed: "That's for sure. ”

Han Ye said: "Brother Mastiff, I can't hide it, my teacher came out of Shu Mountain, and I practiced a set of True Martial Seven Sword Techniques, which requires internal force to give full play, since I came to the ghost world, I can't adapt to the soul, so my strength is greatly reduced." Han Ye said and pointed to the magic sword behind him, and said: "This magic sword on my back has more earth-shattering power, but unfortunately it also needs to be stimulated by true qi, I think the key to restoring strength is to be able to run Zhou Tian freely in the soul state." ”

"You tell me all the keys to your martial arts, so frank, so admirable to the mastiff." The Iron Knife Dog King said: "It's a pity that the big war is approaching recently, and Yin Si still has to dispatch troops and formulate strategies, so he can't help you cultivate anytime and anywhere, so I have to take time to talk with you again, I hope it will help you." ”

Han Ye said: "Of course. ”

At this time, a ghost pawn ran to the wandering street, knelt down to the Iron Knife Dog King, and said, "Report——! Lord Dog King, the two immortals of Kongtong asked me to give a message to the adults, go to the Wheel Hall quickly, and have important matters to discuss! ”

"Got it." The Iron Knife Dog King turned to Han Ye and Xue Yan and said, "Brother Han, Miss Xue, the two immortals of Kongtong are looking for me in a hurry, so I have to go to the Wheel Hall first, and come back to see the two later." ”

Xue Yan shook her hand and said, "Go quickly, go quickly, you have this girl to take care of you, it's okay." ”

Han Ye thought to himself: "Kongtong two immortals...... If you have the opportunity, you really need to see and learn. ”

After the ghost pawn led the Iron Knife Dog King away, Xue Yan remembered that he still had to make soup for Meng Po, so he took Han Ye out of the wandering street.

However, there is a section of road between the bridge and the wheel mirror platform, past Meng Po's stall, and behind it is the soup workshop. After entering, Xue Yan rolled up his sleeves and began to work, Han Ye followed in, and found that the room was very spacious, and there was a huge stove more than three people high in the middle, and a large iron pot with a diameter of more than two zhang was placed on it, and boiling hot gray water was boiling in the pot, steaming.

There were five ghost boys lighting a fire next to the stove, they were men and women, most of them were lonely souls and wild ghosts who were adopted by Meng Po in the Ten Palaces, and when they saw Han Ye coming in, they immediately called him: "Sister Yan'er's big brother!" Then they went on with their work and whispered.

"What do you call my big brother! Don't scream! Xue Yan stood on the stove and waved a huge spoon with both hands, this spoon was more than a zhang, it was specially used to stir soup, and there was another smaller spoon next to it, which was naturally used to scoop the soup. Xue Yan hummed a song on the stove, carefully boiled the gray water, and then turned to the side and grabbed a handful of red petals and sprinkled them into the water, and the gray water quickly turned pale yellow.

Han Ye felt strange, jumped on the stove, fell to Xue Yan's side, and asked, "This is Meng Po soup?" ”

Xue Yan said while boiling: "This water is the water of the River Styx, which originally had a strong corrosive power, and then it was reconciled by the flower (1) on the other side, and it became like this. ”

"The other side of the flower?" Han Ye asked, "The legendary strange flower of the underworld? ”

"What strange flowers? This kind of thing is everywhere in the ghost world. Xue Yan boiled the soup by herself, and said: "It is also written in "Shennong Hundred Herbs" that this kind of flower, the red one is also called Manzhu Shahua, and there are a large number of such flowers on Huangquan Road, which looks like a carpet made of blood from a distance, and they constitute a flower path to guide the ghost to the other side of the ghost world - the exile abyss, so it is called the flower on the other side. ”

Han Ye said to Xue Yan: "So, the combination of this Styx River water and the flower on the other side becomes Meng Po soup?" ”

Xue Yan shook his head and said: "It's not so easy, there are other medicines to reconcile, and the flower itself is poisonous, and the water of the River Styx can corrode the souls of the dead, and the two must also be adjusted just right, otherwise those ghosts will be wiped out, so it takes a lot of effort to make the soup." ”

Han Ye saw Xue Yan's sweaty appearance when she was working, and she was concerned again, so she only said, "Do you need my help?" ”

"Help?" Xue Yan laughed and said, "Don't make trouble, Xue Nuxia is Amitabha!" With this leisure, why don't you think about how to help the big stupid dog defeat that netherworld! ”

Han Ye nodded and said, "This is natural!" My master is the king of Yama, and I myself am called the little king of Yama in the world, it seems that I have to help the king of Yama! ”

Xue Yan held the spoon in both hands and continued to boil the soup, thought for a while, and said to Han Ye: "Otherwise, you go back and accompany Xiao Mengmeng first, this girl will help the big stupid dog, and it can be regarded as a return of kindness, and then I will find a way to go back to the world to find you." ”

"Nope! I've made up my mind! Han Ye said with firm conviction: "Yan'er, we are companions from birth to death, and your business is my business!" What's more, if I don't bring you back with me, Yunmeng will definitely not agree, and I can't help it! ”

Xue Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, I know you're still that stupid melon!" Since we have decided to fight side by side, and you have been away from Xiaomengmeng for so long, you must miss her very much, go to Wangxiangtai to see her again! Don't get in the way next to your aunt and grandmother! ”

"Okay, got it." Han Ye glanced at Xue Yan deeply, walked out of the workshop, and sighed: "The dilemma of love is a trace of trouble...... Yan'er, it's really hard for you. ”

Han Ye walked out after the wheel mirror platform, and it took about two hours to walk to the Wangxiang platform in front of Qin Guang Palace, worriedly looking for Yun Meng's whereabouts, the more he searched, the more anxious he became, thinking: "You person, can't I live without me?" As soon as I'm gone, you'll disappear, and I'll be in peace in the underworld! ”

After a while, he saw Han Yu in Shushan who was reading books in Shushan from the spirit ball, and said in his heart: "Xiaoyu is obedient, staying in Shushan honestly, what about dreams?" Where else can you go if you don't have Xiaoyu's side? Lishu Mountain? No, Lishu Mountain can't find her either. Then there is only one possibility......" Han Ye's heart was half cold, and she thought, "She really ran to the Demon Realm to find me!" Brother Mastiff said that the spirit ball can only see the human world and the demon world, and before leaving, he dreamed of telling me that she would go to the god who sent her to the mortal world, and with the help of the gods, come to the demon world to find me. ”

After this inference, Han Ye could already predict Yunmeng's whereabouts, but he had met a peerless master in the Demon Realm, and he was still in danger repeatedly.

"That's stupid!" Han Ye couldn't settle down, and was thinking about how to go back to the Demon Realm to find Yunmeng, when he suddenly heard an old and loud voice from Qin Guangdian's side, saying, "Junior of Shushan, why are you so worried?" ”

Han Ye turned his head and saw that the Iron Knife Dog King was leading the flying phoenix out of Qin Guangdian, followed by two strange old men, the one on the left was wearing a green robe, the robe was painted with a pattern of a green phoenix out of the fog, the waist was Ruyi, the Yin Hall was full, and the crane hair was childish; The one on the right is wearing a fiery red robe, the robe is painted with the pattern of Danhe Feixia, the waist is equipped with a holy seal, the forehead is deep, and the black beard is fluttering.

Han Ye guessed that these two were the two immortals of Kongtong, got off the lookout platform, greeted him, hugged his fists and saluted: "Han Ye, the junior of Shushan, has seen the two seniors of Kongtong Mountain!" ”

The Iron Sword Dog King introduced to the two immortals of Kongtong: "The two Dao Masters, this is what I mentioned to the two of you, the Sword Demon Han Ye, of course, is also the first disciple of the Shushan Zhenwu Elder Shouzheng. He said to Han Ye again: "Brother Han, the two of them are the two immortals of Kongtong." After a detailed introduction, Han Ye learned that the old man in the green robe was called Qingxun, and the old man in the red robe was called Chili.

Chili looked at Han Ye for a while and said, "Well, it's a good seedling, but the name of Shushan Shouzheng doesn't seem to be loud enough in the Immortal Sect." ”

Qing Xun shook his head and said, "No, junior brother's words are wrong. Gongsun Zheng used to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, but he was entangled in trivial matters and was disheartened, so he retired to Shushan and kept the road number upright, because he had only debuted for decades, and his name was naturally not loud, and the junior brother here must know. ”

Chili said again: "Junior of Shushan, you are a sword demon, but the sword is carried with you, but this magic word, but where to start?" ”

Han Ye naturally didn't dare to hold it up in front of the two immortals, and hugged his fists and said: "Just a name is not enough to worry about." ”

Qing Xun said: "My three junior brothers have always liked to dig into the roots, and they are old/sick, so I don't mind it." ”

Chili complained: "Second senior brother, why bother exposing my shortcomings in front of the juniors? If you want to do this, I will simply expose you a short. As he spoke, he put his hand on the side of his face and whispered to Han Ye: "My second senior brother has always liked to tell the truth, but he is old/sick, so don't mind." ”

Han Ye smiled slightly, and thought: "I thought that the two immortals of Kongtong were quite high, and the shelf was estimated to be very large, but now it seems that they are quite easy to get along with." Then he looked at Feihuang, whose expression was still sluggish, frowned and said, "Bother the two seniors to treat Feihuang's soul, how is Feihuang now?" ”

Qing Xun sighed and said, "If the senior brother is still alive, with the strength of the three of us, there will naturally be no problem at all, and if this child's soul is damaged for a short time, with the strength of the two of us, there will naturally be no problem at all." ”

Chili said impatiently: "Second Senior Brother, don't be like that!" Tell people directly, if there is no rule of law now, isn't it over? Rory, I'm tired of it. ”

Han Ye asked again: "Then if you find another immortal above the spirit immortal to help, will you be able to succeed?" ”

Chi Li said: "You think well, you have to find a supreme immortal spirit immortal who is familiar with Kongtong Dao Law, or an immortal or even a Taoist ancestor to come to heal in person, otherwise you will not be able to return to the sky, this little demon spirit yuan is damaged, and you will not live for a hundred years in the underworld." ”

Han Ye and the Iron Knife Dog King both had solemn faces, but Feihuang shook the Iron Knife Dog King's hand and said with relief: "Life and death...... Destiny ...... Flying Phoenix ...... Everybody...... Caring for ...... No regrets ...... death"

Qing Xun said: "But my junior brother and I are doing our best, and it is not completely useless, at least this child's spiritual sense is not as sluggish as before, and he speaks more clearly." ”

Chili said again: "Then let's talk about the Netherworld Child." Mastiff, instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better for us to wait for the troops to be killed, and then kill the past to prevent future troubles! ”

Mastiff explained: "Of course I know. The so-called preemptive strike, the last strike, can be said to eradicate the Netherworld, we have missed the best opportunity before, not to mention that all major matters need to be agreed upon by the Yama Lords of the Ten Halls before a decision can be made. ”

Chi Li said: "They have been sitting in the Ten Halls for a long time, and they are okay to handle official business, when it comes to fighting, they are not as good as my second senior brother!" ”

"Eh, why did you pull me in again." Qingxun is not satisfied.

Chili ignored him, glared at Mastiff, and said, "The general is outside, and the military order is not subject to it!" Now that the tiger talisman is in hand, the troops of the ten halls are at your disposal, and you will be constantly interrupted, but you will suffer from the chaos! ”

Qing Xun persuaded: "But people are not outside now, they are inside." ”

Chili glanced at Qing Xun and paused: "Senior brother! I can't fight with you! ”

Mastiff replied respectfully: "This matter has to be discussed later." As he spoke, he turned to Han Ye and said, "Draw your sword, I should have a good fight with you to see how good your martial arts are." ”

Han Ye looked at Feihuang and Kongtong Immortals, and said in embarrassment: "In front of the two of you, there is still Feihuang here, Brother Mastiff, I'm just afraid it's inappropriate, right?" ”

When it comes to fighting, Qingxun Chili may be mediocre, when it comes to martial arts, these two inevitably want to watch, Chili said: "It's not either!" What's wrong? We'll just take the flying phoenix to watch the battle! ”

"yes." Mastiff said: "There are just two Taoist masters here, maybe they can give you some guidance and help, don't miss the opportunity!" ”

After saying this, Han Ye had no choice but to put away his concern for Yun Meng for the time being, calm down, and draw his sword and said, "Then it's disrespectful, and I ask Brother Mastiff for more advice." ”

Mastiff Lie also pulled out the Xuantie Treasure Knife and said, "I won't say much kind words, come on, see the power of Shushan martial arts." ”

Soon, Mastiff Lie held a knife and attacked Han Ye first, Han Ye was engrossed in the battle, at the beginning the two were not equal, you came and I fought for two or three rounds, but listening to the sound of bursts and sparks, Mastiff Lie was blocked by Han Ye with a head split, and the two of them retreated.

Qing Xun said: "I don't use my real skills. ”

Chili looked stunned and said loudly to this side: "Hey! What are you afraid of? This is a child's trick, and it is to respect each other with all your strength! ”

"The Taoist is taught." Mastiff Lie settled down and rushed towards Han Ye, this time the attack was several times faster than before, slashing Han Ye with a knife, Han Ye was surprised, even if he wanted to dodge with his body at this moment, it was too late, so he had to win in defeat, and he also stabbed Mastiff Lie with a sword, after all, Mastiff didn't want to lose both with him, so he retracted his knife and jumped back, allowing Han Ye to survive another round.

"Good!" Chili nodded and said: "Obviously at a disadvantage, he still tried his best to save the defeat, he is worthy of being a disciple of Shushan!" ”

Qing Xun said: "This move is a fight for courage, people who are greedy for life and afraid of death are afraid of this move, and people with mercy are also afraid of this move, which does not mean that Mastiff is under Han Ye." ”

Chili said unhappily: "Senior brother, I know this. It's just that this younger generation of Shushan has not used Xuanyuan's true qi for a long time, and it seems that he is letting Mastiff Lie. ”

Qing Xun shook his head and said: "In my opinion, Han Weiyang should be a newcomer to the ghost world, and his internal strength can't be exerted, so he can only take advantage of his moves." ”

Chi Li said: "Then he is going to lose immediately." Mastiff Lie has been through a hundred battles, and it is not easy to win a move and a half from him? ”

Chi Li's words are true, soon Han Ye will suffer, Mastiff Lie knows that it is inconvenient to attack from the front, and his body style changes sharply, appearing on Han Ye's left side, and then on Han Ye's right side, Han Ye can't use the Qi Lock Technique, his eyes can't keep up at all, and Mastiff Lie has some concerns, and he doesn't immediately raid to win, otherwise within three moves, Han Ye will definitely lose.

"With such a body, you dare to call yourself a sword demon?" Since Mastiff Lie picked up the treasure knife, he turned back into a belligerent dog demon, and swung a knife at Han Ye from the left side, Han Ye stubbornly blocked it, and when he screamed, he reluctantly took the knife.

As the so-called "swordsmanship is noble, knife is expensive and fast", Mastiff's knife technique is really fast, after cutting on the left, he immediately flashed on the right and cut Han Ye again, Han Ye hurriedly turned around, and blocked another knife, this knife was quite embarrassed, and he staggered back.

"Take my third knife!" Mastiff Lie turned to Han Ye's left side again, and swept the old tree root straight to its lower plate, Han Ye was horrified, and swung his sword to protect the next three roads, who knew that Mastiff's knife was actually a feint, his right hand took out a knife, and his left hand turned out a palm upward, hitting Han Ye Huangting.

At this time, he used a sword to block, naturally it was completely too late, and the situation did not allow Han Ye to think about it again, so he had to hit it with his left palm, facing the mastiff's palm. The two palms were facing each other, and Han Ye realized that the mastiff was by no means fast, and the thousand-year-old internal force was not covered, and the internal force surged into the palm of his hand like a river, knocking Han Ye ten zhang high with one palm, and fell on the Wangxiang platform with a bang, and the dust was noisy.

Qing Xun said to Chi Li: "You see, he can't exert his internal strength at all, and in that situation, it is impossible to back down." ”

"Alright, alright!" Chili said impatiently: "I can see this kind of thing, why do you say it?" ”

Over there, Mastiff Lie had already jumped onto the lookout platform and said to Han Ye, who was slowly getting up, "What? said that it was good to learn, but it was only a few tricks that I couldn't take it? Han Ye, you disappointed me so much! Another palm hit Han Ye, Han Ye didn't expect him to give himself a chance to breathe, and hurriedly took out his palm, this palm came out of the black gas, took three steps back, and actually took it hard, and shook the mastiff out!

When Qing Xun and Chili saw this, they were both shocked, looked at each other nervously, and said in unison: "Xuan Demon Qi!" ”

Far from being afraid, the mastiff became more and more courageous, shouting: "Han Ye! It's not that you can't exert your internal strength, but you don't dare! Only when it is a matter of life and death will true qi be born naturally! While shouting, he attacked Han Ye with another palm, pressing step by step, never letting up.

Mastiff Lie was not fast this time, but it was fierce, and a whirlwind blew everywhere he passed, at that moment, Han Ye suddenly felt the breath of Mastiff Lie coming from ten zhang away, the pores of his whole body were stretched, and his heart finally became extremely calm, and he raised his right hand and struck out a palm, facing Mastiff Lie.

In an instant, the huge Wangxiangtai tiger roared and the dragon roared, and the black gas was like a flying dragon, setting off stormy waves in the three zhang of Han Ye, and even the ground under his feet was sunk into it for several feet, and he said to the mastiff awefully: "The parents of the one who gave birth to me, and the mastiff brother who knows me...... I gradually realized that I had adapted to my soul, and the true qi of my limbs and bones was flowing, and the reason why I didn't use it was just that I was afraid, afraid that I would be swallowed by this black qi, and become indifferent and cruel. But ......" said, Han Ye calmed down and withdrew the demonic qi, and the mastiff also fell to Han Ye's side, except for the broken Wangxiang Tower, everything seemed to have never happened, and Han Ye spoke: "It's that I'm thinking too much." ”

Exegesis:
