After entering Xiaoyu Mountain City, I saw that because of the geographical reasons here, most of the houses are bamboo buildings, and there is almost no deep house compound. The bluestone path around the mountain is interspersed with it, and it rotates slowly up from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

There are also a lot of houses, directly hanging on the knife-like cliffs, surrounded by corridors on three sides, the houses and pavilions cross each other, the height is staggered, and the plank road flying frame connects each other. Some people even built their houses directly between the branches of the giant trees in the mountains, which formed the characteristics of this place.

From time to time, you can see a number of turrets, standing on the edge of the cliff, and a black flag with a crescent moon embroidered in the middle of the roof with red and blue silk threads is flying in the wind.

"The Sun and Moon Banner. After Lu Wu saw Xiao Shizhu looking at the flag curiously, he said to him: "This is the totem of the ghost mother, symbolizing that yin and yang are the true meaning of life." ”。

Continuing to the heights, the road is full of sticks and poles, shouting and soliciting business, and the small merchants and vendors in the city put their stalls on both sides of the mountain road. After seeing that the mountain road was getting steeper and steeper, Xiao Shizhu smiled and joked to Ying Zhao: "Buy an apple in this kind of place and hold it in your hand, if you accidentally drop it, you don't have to chase it, just go to the foot of the mountain to pick it up." They laughed, and even Lin Cong laughed.

In this way, they talked and laughed and walked for half a pillar of incense, and finally came to the halfway up the mountainside. Xiao Shizhu walked sweating profusely and panting, so everyone had to stand and rest on the square halfway up the mountain, which was supported by countless giant trees and extended beyond the cliff.

After they stood at the edge of the square and watched the scenery under the mountain for a while, Xiao Shizhu took out some ingots and handed them to Lu Wu and Yingzhao, and then turned to look up at the top of the mountain, which was not far away, and whispered to Yingzhao and a few of their demon spirits: "Next, don't follow me, act according to my previous plan." ”。

Ying Zhao and Lu Wu nodded their heads, and after taking the ingots into their arms, they said to him: "Big brother, be careful in everything." ”。 Xiao Shizhu smiled faintly, waved his hand at them, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, go and get busy with your affairs." ”。

Then Ying Zhao and Lu Wu hummed, and then turned around and left with Tu Wei and Qin Yuan. Lin Cong, who didn't know the reason, was stunned for a moment, but not long after Ying recruited them to leave, he couldn't help but ask Xiao Shizhu curiously: "Xiao Ye, what are you letting them do?"

"Huh. Xiao Shizhu smiled slightly, and pretended to be mysterious to him: "I'll let them help me open up the line between heaven and earth." ”。 After speaking, he pulled his legs and walked slowly towards the top of the mountain.

"Huh?" Lin Cong was stunned when he heard this, and a puzzled look suddenly appeared on his face, obviously not knowing what the heaven and earth line was. It wasn't until Xiao Shizhu walked out of four or five zhang that he recovered from his stunned state and hurriedly followed.

Xiao Shizhu is nothing more than asking Ying to recruit them to live in Xiaoyu Mountain City and open a bar.

As early as when he was on the ship, he thought that there must be no beer in this backward world, and this is a big business opportunity. So he drew the way of making the bar swivel chair and the brewing method of beer and wine, and handed it to Yingzhao and them.

Then let Ying recruit them to Xiaoyu Mountain City, find a shop in a good location as soon as possible and buy it, and then change it into a bar according to his request.

If you want to stay in this place, only the backer of the ghost mother is not enough, Xiao Shizhu must have his own power. Therefore, in addition to making money with money, opening a bar also has another purpose, which is to let Yingzhao them better get acquainted with local civil forces, so that these people can become their future helpers.

Of course, it is impossible for him to tell Lin Cong this, after all, Lin Cong is Mo Zhai's person, and it is still unclear whether Mo Zhai is an enemy or a friend, so he said a word that Lin Cong didn't understand, so that the other party didn't know what he was going to do.

After walking for another half a pillar of incense, Xiao Shizhu and Lin Cong came to the palace gate of the Ghost Mother Palace on the top of the mountain. Because of geographical limitations, the Ghost Mother Palace is obviously not as large as the Six Heavens Palace in Xudu, nor is it as magnificent and majestic as the Six Heavens Palace. But the Ghost Mother Palace has one of the biggest features, that is, the bricks and tiles, beams and pillars of this one are all made of brass. Even the palace gate is the same.

As soon as the sun shines, the entire Ghost Mother Palace is full of golden light, like a golden palace.

The door of this palace is nine rooms wide and three rooms deep. There are four copper tripods in front of the door, a pair of bronze lions, left male and right female, mighty and fierce, showing the majesty of the princes.

Lin Cong took out the documents and waist cards and other things, and showed them to the Yin soldiers guarding the palace gate, and after verifying their identities, the hundred households in the Yin soldiers had gloomy faces and scolded them viciously: "Problem! Among the fifteen ghost slaves, the others have come in the morning, why don't you arrive until noon." ”。 But he didn't get out of the way for a long time, and he didn't mean to let Xiao Shizhu in at all.

"The military master is angry. Xiao Shizhu didn't wait for Lin Cong to speak, then stepped forward, took out two taels of broken silver from under his belt, handed it to the hundred households, and said with a smile: "The road is far away, and it has been delayed, please forgive me." ”。

The hundred households looked at the money in their hands, and then at Xiao Shizhu, and finally turned their anger into joy, and said, "You kid is quite sensible." ”。 As he spoke, he waved his hand and let his men go.

Xiao Shizhu smiled on the surface, but scolded in his heart: "Are all the ghosts in this underworld powerful? ”。

"Master Xiao, I can't go in with you. Lin Cong handed the document to Xiao Shizhu, and arched his hand: "The little one has to go back to hand over the errand, so don't pass it away." In the future, we will meet again in the future. ”。

Xiao Shizhu didn't expect him to leave, and the parting came so suddenly that he suddenly felt empty in his heart, just like when he left Xudu that day.

And although Lin Cong is Mo Zhai's person, he didn't cheat him along the way, which made Xiao Shizhu still have a good impression of him.

At this time, Xiao Shizhu didn't know what to say, but after being stunned, he barely squeezed out a smile at Lin Cong. Then he turned his back to those Yin soldiers and quietly took out a ten-tael ingot, and quietly stuffed it into Lin Cong's hand, saying, "Go back, be careful on the road." ”。

Xiao Shizhu didn't expect him to say casually without knowing what to say, but Lin Cong was instantly moved after being stunned. In the days of being a spy for the Mo family, Mo Zhai did not praise him when he was meritorious, but he was scolded by Mo Zhai when he was wrong. And although Xiao Shizhu has not been with him for a long time, he can say such intimate advice, which Lin Cong never expected. He opened his lips but couldn't speak, and slowly lowered his head, his eyes a little red.

In the days to come, he helped Xiao Shizhu to save the day many times, and even did not hesitate to put on the hat of a traitor, and he cooperated with Xiao Shizhu to eradicate the Mo family, all in order to repay the other party's casual remark today.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lin Cong to say anything, Xiao Shizhu turned around and strode towards the Ghost Mother Palace without looking back.

After entering the palace gate, Xiao Shizhu saw that he was standing on a square with an area of about ten acres. The square is paved with white marble slabs, and a river meanders from west to east. Five copper bridges were built over the river. And the north side of the square has a side of nine rooms, five deep halls, there is a wide platform in front of the hall, the stage is furnished with a sundial, Jialiang each, a pair of copper Xuanwu and a white tiger, ten copper tripods.

On the east and west sides of the square are neatly arranged corridors, and in the middle of the square are fourteen male souls of different heights, short, fat and thin, standing in a row with their heads bowed. Around these souls, there were also several people dressed in blue mite suits and holding dust whisks.

Looking at the costume, he looks like a eunuch in the feudal era of the world.

One of the elderly eunuchs, after seeing Xiao Shizhu, beckoned to him and said, "Hey, who is that, why are you standing stupidly there?" Seeing this, Xiao Shizhu hurriedly walked in front of him and stood still, took out the document and handed it to the other party, and said, "Little Xiao Shizhu was sent by King Qin Guang to be a ghost slave. ”。

"Stand up. After the eunuch looked at the text, he snorted, raised the dust in his hand and scolded: "It's too late, and you don't realize it." ”。

"Yes. After Xiao Shizhu answered, he stood at the end of the west side of the ghost slave team. To his left stood the soul of a man with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, and the other party's face with a thick beard was full of meat, like a bandit who was king of the mountains.

After he saw Xiao Shizhu standing beside him, he raised his orchid finger and said to Xiao Shizhu: "It turns out that you are the little ghost who is late, I thought it was an old ghost with a backstage?" The voice was sharp and thin, as if he was pinching his throat to speak.

Xiao Shizhu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked him up and down, and then couldn't help but complain in his heart: "It turns out that there are also sissies in the underworld, and she looks like five big and three thick, but I didn't expect it to be a yin and yang person." ”。 But he still arched his hand to the man with a dry smile and said, "Yes, the journey is far away and late, don't be surprised, eldest sister." ”。

"What do you say?" The man was not happy when he heard his words, and immediately turned his head and glared at him angrily, and scolded: "I hate it, old lady, I am a pure master." ”。 Xiao Shizhu felt sick to his stomach when he heard this, and he couldn't hold back so that he didn't vomit out the buns he ate in the morning.

"Oh, then what do you call this old pure man?" After a while, Xiao Shizhu asked with a smile again. But he said in his heart: "You are a dead yin and yang person, and you dare to call a pure master?"

"The old lady's surname is Ming, and her name is Yichen!" said the strong man, and raised his orchid finger again. Xiao Shizhu nodded, not speaking.

At this moment, a shout came from the gate of the main hall on the north side of the square: "Lord Ghost Mother has arrived!" Then Xiao Shizhu and the others saw a row of palace maids dressed in fancy clothes walking out of the main hall to the north, carrying a phoenix chariot towards this side.

A woman dressed in a red nine-phoenix crown dress, wearing a phoenix crown and a yellow ribbon around her waist, and holding a delicate paper umbrella, sat on the chariot. Looking at the clothes and treatment, Xiao Shizhu knew that the woman sitting on the chariot was the ghost mother nine times out of ten.

Xiao Shizhu looked up at the sky and muttered: "If you are sick, what kind of umbrella does the sun not be scorching?" Before they could finish speaking, the old eunuch gestured to them and scolded them in a deep voice: "Kneel down quickly." ”。 Then he put on his whole robe, knelt down before the woman with the umbrella, and shouted in his mouth: "Welcome to my lord." ”。

Xiao Shizhu and the others were ghost slaves, and hurriedly drew a scoop according to the gourd, and after kneeling down, they shouted weakly: "Welcome to my master." ”。

The woman's phoenix chariot then came to a stop in front of them, and the woman sat on the chariot high, looking down at the people kneeling on the ground, showing a faint look of satisfaction.

Xiao Shizhu quietly raised his head and glanced at it, only to see that this woman was born graceful and luxurious, with moth eyebrows, green and apricot face, and peach cheeks. The black hair is silky and black, the skin is as soft as jade, the eyes under the eyebrows are shining, the lips on the cherry mouth under the nose are delicate, and the two strands of black hair on the cheeks are dancing lightly in the wind at this moment, adding a bit of seductive posture to this woman.

Just one glance, it's been ten thousand years.

"It's really not so beautiful in the world, it's either a demon or a fox. Xiao Shizhu, who was excited, secretly sighed in his heart: "Yingzhao didn't lie to me, it's really a beauty!"
