Early the next morning, not long after dawn, when the morning fog had not completely faded, Xiao Shizhu and other people took advantage of the fact that the post was still calling the pig's head, quietly left the post station, and went to the south of the sea after leaving the calf pass.

They found a civilian ship in the harbor that was transporting goods, and after giving them some silver, the boatman drove them to the ghost mother country.

In just ten days, they will be able to enter the waters of the Ghost Mother Country. At that time, Lin Cong will go back and hand over the errand, no matter how greedy King Qin Guang is, then he can only sigh at the vast sea.

Although this ghost mother doesn't seem to be very powerful now, she was also a divine servant back then, and she was the number one hero of the Emperor Xudu, as long as Xiao Shizhu arrived at the boundary of her old man's land, King Qin Guang would not dare to come nonsense. In addition, it is clearly written on the document: "The new ghost Xiao Shizhu sent the ghost mother country as a slave for a hundred years, during which he was dispatched by the lord of the country and the ghost mother, and the rest of the country lords and officials were not allowed to interfere, and they were brought back to the capital for reincarnation after a hundred years." ”。 In this way, unless he, King Qin Guang, knew that his ghost was not dead in the sea, he would not be able to do anything to Xiao Shizhu.

This can't be blamed on Xiao Shizhu, if you want to blame it, you can only blame King Qin Guang for trying to kill for money, and only arranged a cronie in the two escort ghosts, Xiao Shizhu just took advantage of his loophole, so that he could talk to himself, and also let King Qin Guang suffer a dumb loss while not getting the money.

And Lin Cong is Mo Zhai's person, although he doesn't know what Mo Zhai's ultimate purpose is for letting him follow Xiao Shizhu, Xiao Shizhu knows that his boss is not surnamed Qin. Not only that, Xiao Shizhu also gave him money, so Lin Cong would not betray him in front of King Qin Guang in public or private.

Thinking that he can sit back and relax for a hundred years, Xiao Shizhu is still a little excited;

They hired ships to sail the sea for nine days and nine nights, and on the morning of the tenth day they came to a strange sea. The sea is dotted with many jagged limestone pillars jutting out of the sea, and the rock pillars of different heights and sizes are covered with all kinds of tropical plants, forming a beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. And some of the rock pillars are covered with many caves, and there are waterfalls in many caves that erupt from them, and before they fall to the sea, they are illuminated by the red sunlight in the underworld, and the rainbow immediately crosses the sea surface one step ahead of the waterfall.

The boatman and the sailors collected their sails, switched to manual oars, and carefully weaved between the rock pillars.

A few days ago, Xiao Shizhu, who was still seasick and vomited, was accustomed to the bumps of the wind and waves at this moment, standing on the bow of the boat and enjoying the beautiful scenery on the sea.

I saw that the rock pillars here were densely packed, and between the two rock pillars, the largest visual interval was only twenty or thirty meters, and the small one was only a few meters. ”。

"Yes. Ying Zhao also looked around at the surrounding rock pillars, and said: "Since ancient times, the sea around the ghost mother country has been covered with such rock pillars, making it impossible for too large warships to enter. Therefore, for hundreds of years, except for this ghost mother country, which has not been invaded, the other large and small vassal states have been constantly at war. ”。

"So except for the continent directly under the jurisdiction of Emperor Xudu and the ghost mother country, the people of other places are not happy, right?" Xiao Shizhu smiled and asked casually. At the same time, he secretly scolded in his heart: "Mo Zhai, this old immortal, is really undisciplined, in order to deceive me into joining him in the same stream, he actually said that the underworld is good without a red heart and a heartbeat." The war is going on all over the place, and the days are good?".

"Yes. Ying Zhao nodded and said, "And because this is the territory of the ghost mother, the other vassal states don't dare to make trouble." ”。 After finishing speaking, he leaned over and whispered in Xiao Shizhu's ear: "In fact, the policy of Emperor Xudu is to let the vassal states fight each other, and he can watch the fire from the other side, which can better control each vassal state, and no one will free up his hand to rebel." ”。

In fact, this big brother is only half right. As soon as he finished speaking, the boss of the boat came over and said endlessly: "The old man's ship often goes back and forth between the ghost mother country and the calf pass, and I know that this ghost mother country has not been attacked for thousands of years, because there is a mine in the country called stainless steel." And the ghost mother has a secret recipe for making steel, so the weapons of the ghost mother country are all made of steel, and the hair is cut like mud. As a result, although the number of soldiers was small, they were well equipped, and the other vassal states did not dare to come to fight the idea here. ”。

"Oh, so pirates don't dare to come here?" Xiao Shizhu's eyes fell on a rock pillar not far to the right, and saw that a rock cave on the rock pillar was close to the sea, and he could see that the sea water was churning in and out of the cave, which was a good hiding place for ships, and he thought that this rock pillar was a barrier, but it could also hide thief ships.

"I heard from the old ghosts in the past that pirates were rampant in the area before the ghost mother came, but after the ghost mother came, they were all wiped out. The boat family laughed and said to Xiao Shizhu: "Don't look at the ghost mother is a woman, that method is ruthless! Although there are occasional pirates who are not afraid of death who dare to come to fight the ghost mother country, nothing will come to a good end. ”。 After that, he went to help the sailors again.

"Have you ever seen the ghost mother?" Xiao Shizhu asked Ying Zhao after thinking for a while.

"I've seen it, when she followed behind Emperor Xudu, she was still very young. Ying Zhao's eyes always looked ahead: "It's also beautiful, it's one of the best beauties among the divine servants!"

"Second brother, you have no problem with aesthetics, according to the records of the books in the world, the ghost mother is also called the ghost god, the tiger dragon foot, the python eyebrows, the shape is strange and weird. Xiao Shizhu shook his head slightly, sighed and asked Ying Zhao in a sarcastic tone: "This is also called a beauty?"

"Although the servants are all demon spirits, the ghost mother is an exception, she is a humanoid demon soul, what you are talking about is the record of the world, not the real her. Ying Zhao smiled slightly, patted Xiao Shizhu's shoulder, and said, "Big brother, compared to those handmaids you saw in the casino, they are far behind." ”。

Even so, she is a thousand-year-old grandmother. Although he said that he was so sure, Xiao Shizhu still retorted in disbelief: "Now I must have all white hair and wrinkles on my face." ”。

"If the soul is in the underworld, if nothing else, she will be a thousand years old, and today she has just changed from a girl to a woman. Ying Zhao looked at Xiao Shizhu and smiled again, and said proudly: "According to the age calculation method of your world, now the ghost mother is not even middle-aged, and it is impossible to have wrinkles and gray hair." ”。

"So, I really want to see this ghost mother. After a trace of excitement and expectation flashed in Xiao Shizhu's eyes, he said thoughtfully: "I want to see how beautiful she is." ”。

"Big brother, why do you always think about beautiful women when the scenery here is so good?" The voice fell, Lu Wu, who was more literary and artistic than Yingzhao, walked up from behind him together, and the two demon spirits shouted in unison: "With the wine given by the boatman, chant a poem to help the brothers!" As he spoke, he handed a wine jug in his hand to Xiao Shizhu.

"Bard. Xiao Shizhu took the wine jug, raised his head and took a sip, looked at the surrounding scenery and muttered for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Three dynasties and four dethroned are tired and tired, and they are all sad for thousands of miles. He flew back and we headed south. After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the south in front of him.

In fact, where does Xiao Shizhu know what kind of poetry, he is nothing more than a few days ago I overheard Yingzhao them talk about the Emperor Xudu There is such a bad deed, after the great people and celebrities in the world can people come down, the Emperor Xudu is afraid that they will stay here for a long time, so that he will have a long night and a lot of dreams, and he will be immediately thrown into hell and tortured to death. The human souls who can survive in the underworld for a long time and do not enter reincarnation, except for some who have been named princes and kings and served him as the Emperor of Xudu, the others are basically illiterate Bai Ding.

Even if one or two capable people occasionally come down and escape punishment, they don't dare to show their talents.

Therefore, there are no poems and songs in the underworld, no books such as the art of war and strategies, and no modern handicrafts in the world, and they are still stuck in an ancient and ignorant era, and everything seems so primitive. In addition to going to casinos and teahouses, everyone's entertainment items on weekdays are to visit the kiln, and they are drunk all day long, which is one of the reasons why no one will oppose him.

But this policy also cheapened Xiao Shizhu, so he was brazen and took other people's works and ideas as his own. After hearing the first time he came to the sea, he looked at the endless sea and sighed: "If you look at the east, it is also water, and if you look at the west, it is still water." "After. Xiao Shizhu pretended to chant in a deep voice: "When there is no wind in the sea, the waves are peaceful. The scales are not small or large, and they have their own ups and downs. ”。 Yubi looked at Tuwei's face with a big mouth, and said proudly: "This is called poetry, learn a little." ”。

Since then, he has had the title of a poet, and Yingzhao has admired him even more. This made Xiao Shizhu a little fluttery, and it became more and more out of control in the future.

At this time, after he finished chanting Li Bo's "Guilin Sighing Goose", in the applause of the demon spirits such as Yingzhao, he raised his head very heroically and took a sip of wine, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, smashing it.

Then their ship had already rushed out of the sea pillar forest, and they saw an island surrounded by the sea four or five miles ahead.

"The Ghost Mother Country has arrived. The boatman, who was at the helm at the stern, shouted to them.

After a cup of tea, the boatman moored the boat to the pier on the north side of the island. Say goodbye to the boatman and get off the boat, and see a market outside the wharf, although the scale is not as big as the ghost market in Xudu, but it is also full of goods, and the crowd is very lively.

After Xiao Shizhu and the others found a shop in this market to eat, they left the market and headed for the hinterland of the island.

Along the way, you can see that there are streams all around, and you have to cross the bridge after walking a few steps. On both sides of the road, there are many mud pools, which are full of mangroves with well-developed root systems. Occasionally, a few bubbles will appear in the mud, and when they expand to a small size, they will burst, and streams of purple or blue-green gas will slowly float out of the cracked bubbles.

After walking for an hour, Xiao Shizhu and his party came to the edge of an open field, only to see that at the end of the official road two or three miles away, a mountain hundreds of zhang high appeared, which was like a square spire, standing on the earth.

The mountains are full of giant trees, and in the shade of the trees there are many buildings that rise up the mountain, and they are connected from the foot of the mountain to the palace building on the top of the mountain.

"Xiaoyu Mountain City. Lin Cong turned his head to look at Xiao Shizhu and said, "Master Xiao, we have arrived." ”。
