Chapter 223: Entering the Underworld for the First Time
"It's true that you are divided into three factions, and what you said is just to do it face-to-face, which is too evil. The bull head shook the big cow's head, "Don't scare Brother Chu." Although they have quarrels, they are on business in the underworld, so as not to turn their faces publicly, and there is also the peacemaker of Jizo Bodhisattva. ”
"Emperor Xudu, unusually sent us to find Brother Chu - what is the search, purely to invite you as a grandfather, you will definitely be crowned a high-ranking official, and listen to him under him. I am also kind, sue you, be careful, save yourself from offending the Yin and Wang faction in the future. Ma Mian said.
"It doesn't matter. "Piao Ranzi doesn't want to be a ghost official. "I don't know what the leaders of the ghost mansion are under these four. ”
"The Ten Halls of Hades," Ma Mian said. "The Ten Halls of Hell are in charge of the eighteen layers of hell. You are in the ghost mansion, and you will have to deal with them in the future. Then there are the top ten ghost handsome, and our brothers are two of them. After that, there are judges, scribes and other underworld officials and ghost officials. ”
"These positions, are they also divided into three factions, and the front line is clear?" Since you go to the ghost mansion, Piao Ranzi has to inquire more.
"The front line is clear, so what's the deal?" said Niu Tou. "Now, the Netherworld Sect Master is directly in charge of the Tenth Hall Xue Yan King, as well as all the Meng Po Pavilion. The rest of the Hades, ghosts, and underworld officials and ghosts were dispatched at will by the Emperor Xudu, the Yin Tianzi, and the King of Xudu. ”
"Yes, although the Emperor Xudu came from Dongyue, the seventh hall of Dong Yan King arrived with him, which can be regarded as brothers' friends, and most of the ghost pawns, who were born when Mount Tai ruled ghosts. This Emperor Xudu is also a brother with the Dongyue Ten Taibao, and his influence in the underworld is not under the two immortals of Yin and Wang. Ma Mian said.
"Oh, then ask me, how did my mother find it?"
"This ・・・・・ to the Dating Palace, you can talk to the Emperor Xudu. Ma Mian said. "We are the Yin Division Marshal, directly in charge of leading the Yin soldiers to fight, arresting ghost criminals, and recruiting evil demons and ghosts, regardless of the search for people. ”
"If you want me to say, first find the judge and check the ghost book, then you will naturally remember it clearly. The bull head replied.
The three of them talked, and after half a day's effort, they arrived at the ghost realm of Xudu.
"When we get home, Brother Chu, let's go down and walk. The bull head said and shouted to the ghost pawn: "Collect the formation and land." ”
The wind gradually decreased, the mist slowly dispersed, and all the ghosts fell into the dust. The head of the ox, the face of the horse and the floating child, landed on the ground.
"Brother Chu, there is still Yangbu under your feet, and the big river in front of you is the Yinyang River - the dividing line between the earthly world and the underworld. The bull head rushed to the ground.
"Oh, the Yin and Yang River" looked at the surging river, and the river was filled with water and gas.
"This Yin-Yang River, the water is half turbid, half clear. After crossing the Yin Yang River, the opposite bank is the Yin Port, which can be regarded as entering the ghost world. The bull head shouted at the ghosts: "Parade across the river"
The ghosts immediately lined up in a long line, and the little ghosts led by them raised two big flags with bull heads and horse faces, and flew towards the river. The three of them walked last, and as soon as they reached the river, dozens of vicious ghosts jumped out of the water and stopped the three of them.
"It turned out to be the Yaksha who patrols the river," Ma Mian smiled and said to the evil ghost at the head, "In front of you, the Yaksha general under the commander of the fish gills? ”
Piao Ranzi looked at the Yaksha at the head, and it was too ugly, with two goldfish eyes, a head like a fat fish's head, and two gills like fish gills.
"Two marshals, what is it that you want to make a trip yourself?" asked the fat fish-headed Yaksha.
"Find someone for the Emperor Xudu. Ma Mian pointed at Piaoranzi: "This Chu Piaoran is a person named by the emperor himself, and we brought it back to the underworld." ”
"Oh, since it is ordered by the Emperor Xudu, please take out the letter of the seal, and you can't just put in the villain. General Yaksha stretched out his hand.
"You are too inaccommodating" The horse-faced bull head said angrily in unison: "The two of us went out last night, the bird's beak yaksha patrolled the river, he didn't ask, you are good, and we want to seal the letter, you also know, the Emperor Xudu has always passed on the password." ”
"Don't say anything about the Yaksha, I'm the general under the Fish Gill Commander, he's him, I'm me" The fat fish-headed Yaksha said with a change of face.
"Okay, then I'll sue you, no" Niu Tou started a bull temper: "You will go and report to the elm-headed handsome man with fish gills, and say that we will come back to hand in the order, and ask him if he will let him go?"
The fat fish-headed Yaksha blinked with a pair of bulging goldfish eyes, not knowing what to do.
"Yes, let the marshal of your family come in person, we won't talk to you, a pawn," Ma Mian also said angrily.
"Wait a minute, the two marshals, I'll go and report to the marshal" The general of the fish gill yaksha arched his hand, took his demons, and flew away along the river.
"Let's go, don't wait for them. The bull head waved his hand, and the three of them flew away from the Yin Yang River and arrived on the opposite bank of the Yin Bu Bank.
The ghost pawns waved two big flags in front of their heads and marched forward. Piaoranzi looked at the yellow sand under his feet, and the ground gushed out of the spring, turning yellow and meandering, and asked, "What is here?"
"Huangquan Road" Niutou Road. "The people of the world do not do bad things, and it is difficult to walk in Huangquan, and this is what they are talking about. ”
"Brother Chu, Huangquan Road, whether it is short or not, whether it is long or not, depends on what the deceased did before his death. Ma Mian said.
"I don't feel like it's hard to walk. "Piaoranzi walks on the yellow sand without feeling difficult, just like when I was a child, walking and playing on the beach by the sea.
"Brother Chu was a good man in his life, and he was a city god after his death, and he did a lot of good things, of course he didn't find it difficult, not to mention, you are not an ordinary dead ghost now, looking at your mana spells, you can be called a ghost immortal. "Bull Head Road.
As the three of them spoke, they encountered a high earthen platform in front of them, which was particularly conspicuous on the yellow sand flat ground.
"What is the high platform for?" Piao Ranzi first entered the underworld and didn't know Wangxiangtai.
"Wangxiangtai" Ma Mian said. "When the world dies, you can stay here for a while. Standing on the lookout platform, looking back at the hometown of the world, it is a farewell to the world. ”
"I'll go up and have a look, too. Piaoranzi was curious.
"You are already a ghost immortal, as long as you don't reincarnate, you are an official in the underworld, and you will often go in and out of the human world in the future, there are opportunities, there is nothing to see. Ma Mian said.
"It doesn't hurt to let him see. "Bull Head Road. "He hasn't seen it yet, it's not like us, in the past thousands of years, he has been in and out countless times, and he is tired of seeing it. Even if it's a tourist, let's take a visit. ”
"Thank you" Piao Ranzi was very happy, and climbed the high Wangxiang platform, the high platform soil and stone are transformed by yin qi, and he can pass through the space, he first saw a confused place, and then, his eyes were full of fireworks in the world.
"Two handsome, I can't find my hometown. Piao Ranzi asked.
"Where is your hometown?" asked the bullhead.
"Minzhou Water City. ”
"You look southeast. ”
Piao Ranzi gathered his eyes and searched in turn to the southeast, but he still didn't see the shadow of his hometown in his memory.
"It's not" Ma Mian stood beside Piao Ranzi and pointed forward. Piaoranzi followed his gaze and vaguely saw a city, but it was not what he remembered. He thought about it again, yes, look at the city gate, it is indeed written: Minzhou Water City West Gate.
"This is the current Water City, right?" asked Piaoranzi.
"Now, of course. Isn't that what you're looking for?" said the bull head.
"No, I'm looking for the water city from a thousand years ago. ”
"Hahaha, Brother Chu is really good at laughing, a thousand years ago in the water city, you have to see it, unless it's a mirage" The bull head and horse face laughed in unison.
