As soon as you enter the door, you will see ghosts standing on both sides of the street behind the door, from the street to the end of the street, including the local garrison, the people of the city, and the elders and clansmen of the famous families in the city. There are both men and women, young and old, and there are all kinds of souls and demons.

Led by the co-workers, the ministers who stayed in the city, as well as the ceremonial officials and honor guards.

After receiving the co-workers in advance from Julong himself, these left-behind ministers also came to their senses after a short period of consternation. How much is the appointment, and the choice to go with the flow is no longer tossed.

Anyway, it's just a change of king, it's not a big deal, and the old king has also surrendered, and the original prince has taken the initiative to send the letter of surrender without being ashamed, so why should they be ministers to find a heart for themselves? So they immediately went with Julong to prepare for the new master.

A few of them were very backbone, so they dropped their black gauze hats on the spot, brushed their sleeves and left, threatening to starve to death at home like this than to be an official for Xiao Shizhu.

As soon as the ghosts on the street saw Xiao Shizhu, they all gathered their robes and knelt down without hesitation, and lowered their heads one after another, and pressed their foreheads against the cold stone slabs on the ground. There was a look of respect on his face, and a hint of imperceptible fear.

Seeing this, Xiao Shizhu frowned and hurriedly grabbed the reins, and after taking a deep breath, he shouted to the ghosts on the left and right on the street: "Don't kneel, stand up for me; from now on, you are all the people of the Nine Shadows Kingdom." So don't kneel, no soul is worth kneeling in, including me. ”。

As soon as these words came out, the ghosts kneeling on the ground were stunned, and they couldn't help but look at each other, but they only saw the astonishment and incomprehension in the eyes of the other souls.

The hierarchy in this underworld is very strong and obvious, and it is not a matter of a day or two, and it is really unheard of for a prince and king to allow his people to see the king without kneeling.

In the vast underworld, except for the Nine Shadows Abroad, any people in any place, even if they just go to the Qipin County Order to fight a lawsuit, then you have to kneel to finish this lawsuit. These are the rules of the underworld, and they have not changed for thousands of years.

Therefore, the ghosts in this Jade Que City are also the first time they have encountered such a strange thing. Although Xiao Shizhu said it so surely, in addition to being stunned, there was still no ghost who dared to stand up first.

In desperation, King Kong had no choice but to say to Xiao Shizhu: "King, you can continue to move forward." They are accustomed to kneeling, just as we did, and if you don't go forward, they won't get up. ”。

The look of vigilance in his eyes has not decreased but increased; this place has only been submissive, not to mention the uncertainty of public security, and there are definitely ghosts who are loyal to the co-workers and Xiao Shizhu are dissatisfied. At this time, there are many ghosts on both sides of the street, in case these ghosts who are still loyal to work together suddenly attack and launch an assassination operation against Xiao Shizhu, it is not a joke.

Thinking of this, King Kong hurriedly cheered up and continued to look around.

On the other hand, Xiao Shizhu was much calmer, and it seemed that he was not concerned about his personal safety at all, but after pondering King Kong's words for a while, he had no choice but to shake his head and continue to move forward;

After walking along the winding mountain road for a long time, Xiao Shizhu came to the top of the sinkhole, and saw Julong, who had entered the city in advance to arrange everything, was already waiting at the mouth of the pit.

Xiao Shizhu lowered his eyes, looked around for a while, climbed up the city wall around the pit mouth alone, and after looking around for a long time, he walked to the edge of the city wall at the mouth of the pit and looked down on the battlement.

Xiao Shizhu is like facing an abyss, and everything in the sinkhole is seen at a glance. The warm jade building is beautiful in the afterglow of the sunset, and the brilliance has not changed after the vicissitudes of life, and it is delicate and moist, revealing nobility and elegance.

"Hey, it's really all made of jade. Xiao Shizhu looked at the buildings in the sinkhole, but saw that the types were jade and white jade, and jade and jasper were all available. After the ice and water species, violets and blue on a white background, he was amazed and sighed: "The jade in the underworld can be picked up anywhere, and it can't be picked up at all?"

"Huh. In the silence of the ghosts, Julong smiled: "We don't know where the ancient gods found so much jade back then." ”。

"The ancient gods are all local tyrants, but it's a pity that you and your father were cheaper, and now they are cheaper for me. This is called the land of the predecessors and the later people will receive, and the descendants will rejoice after receiving, and there will be more people who will receive the land behind. After Xiao Shizhu laughed, he pointed to the stairs in the city wall that meandered down the sinkhole wall, and asked, "Did you go up and down these stone steps in the past?"

As he spoke, Xiao Shizhu noticed that the stairs that crisscrossed and densely spread the mountain wall like unfolded spider webs, connecting the top of the pit and the bottom of the pit, were all made of white marble, magnificent but extraordinary.

"Local tyrants, what local tyrants. Xiao Shizhu's eyes straightened, and he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "This stone step thousand-step stone platform is made of white marble, and it seems that it can't be called a local tyrant at this level, which is completely beyond the scope of a local tyrant." ”。

"Yes, just go down the ladder. Ju Long glanced in the direction of his finger and nodded in response: "But there is also a city gate below, which is only for the inner servants, ministers, palace slaves and relatives of the king to enter and exit." ”。

"King Kong, go and deliver the message. Xiao Shizhu looked around at the mouth of the pit for a moment, then looked at the long stairs, rolled his eyes, and said: "Let people draw the structure around here, make engineering drawings, and send it to Lai ......."

In the middle of his words, he suddenly paused, and after remembering the ghost mother's teachings, he hurriedly changed his words: "Send it to Mrs. Yue, and ask her to personally supervise the construction of dozens of pulley lifts suitable for this place." ”。

"My lord. King Kong frowned and wondered, "What do you mean, pulley lift?"

"You just wrote to Mrs. Yue, and she knows what it is. Don't be curious, you'll know when things come in and load them. Xiao Shizhu smiled and waved his hand, looked around at the ghosts and said, "Let's go, let's go down and see how majestic this so-called Ancient God Palace is!" ......

On the mountain of Luoyu, in the palace of the gods and ghosts of the Six Heavens.

The cloudy sun turned eastward, slowly slanting down, covering Luo Yu Mountain with the afterglow of the setting sun, dyeing everything in the mountain red.

In the gentle evening breeze, the immortal grass and immortal trees in the palace garden gently sway with the wind, bringing a burst of unique grass and wood fragrance and fragrance, which is intoxicating.

Emperor Xudu was dressed in cloth, standing under an immortal tree, holding a small handful of minced meat from an unknown animal, looking at the ghost car bird pacing leisurely on the edge of the lotus pond not far in front of him.

The silent Emperor Xudu sometimes threw the minced meat in his hand to those ghost car birds, and watched with great interest as the nine heads of those birds pecked each other in order to compete for a piece of meat.

It wasn't until all the minced meat in his hand was thrown away that Emperor Xudu turned his head and said to King Yama, who was following him, "Do you know why I like to come and feed these ghost cars and birds with my own hands?"

King Yama shook his head silently, he had touched the temper of this emperor for thousands of years, and he had not been able to understand it. Therefore, he did not dare to speak rashly, for fear that trouble would come out of his mouth.

"The ghost car bird, also known as the nine-headed phoenix. Some ghosts say that it is a representative of shrewdness, a symbol of ghost heads. It is said that there is a saying in the world called the nine-headed bird in the sky, the underground Hubei Yankee, and the Hubei people are shrewd in this way. Emperor Xudu curled the corners of his mouth and smiled indifferently: "But I think that the ghost car bird is a symbol of being clever but being mistaken for cleverness; They also know that no matter which head they eat, this piece of meat will go into their only stomach, but they still have to fight. Everyone has ever thought about the taste of this meat, and they are competing for it just to taste the delicious taste of this meat for the first time. ”。

"Just like the vassal states today, they know that war is not good, but they still think that war will bring them a lot of benefits, so they fight themselves without hesitation. Emperor Xudu raised his right hand, clamped his right finger and middle finger between his right sideburns, and stroked it from top to bottom, and said lightly: "The most ridiculous thing is that they also understand that most of these benefits will eventually flow into my hands. But like the nine heads of this ghost car, he always wants to be the first to taste the meat. ”。 After speaking, he smiled meaningfully at King Yama.

King Yama nodded stunned, he understood what Emperor Xudu said, it was nothing more than that the princes and kings were the nine heads of ghosts, cars and birds, they fought with each other, and Emperor Xudu benefited from the fisherman, but he could only pretend to be ignorant, so as not to behave too shrewdly, but burn himself.

"How are the counterinsurgency armies from all walks of life?" After a moment, Emperor Xudu turned his back again and continued to look at the ghost cars and birds and asked slowly.

"The counterinsurgency did not go well. After recalling for a while, King Yama said cautiously: "Except for King Qin Guang, who has already killed the traitor capital, the other roads have not made much progress. ”。

"First, the princes and kings of all walks of life who are in turmoil have a heart of self-preservation. After a pause, King Yama continued: "Second, the counterinsurgency army lacks military funds, and in the past two months, the military department has received dozens of requests for help, all of which were sent by the various vassal states involved in the counterinsurgency; ”。

"Well, it's time to give them some meat. Emperor Xudu closed his eyes slightly, and his face was full of pleasantness: "What has this Xiao Shizhu been doing recently?"

"I heard that he was fighting the Communist Workers' Country. King Yama replied, but secretly said in his heart, "I'm afraid this Xiao Shizhu is going to bleed heavily." ”。

"He's got a lot of appetite. As soon as the words in his heart fell, he heard the Emperor Xudu speak again, and said as he should: "Okay, let him be taught this military expense, and it's time for him to show his loyalty." ”。
