Li Jianguo was a little discouraged.

Going around and around, it seems that except for fishing out Meng Po, everything else has returned to the original point.

Cui Ling is still nowhere to be found, and his soul is still unknown.

Especially Meng Po in front of her, I don't know if it's the grass on the wall, or if she really has some far-reaching plans. It is difficult to say whether it is friend or foe.

As time passes, today's problems have not been solved, and in fact, it is estimated that until now, the problems have not had the slightest self-knowledge to be solved.

A familiar sense of déjà vu came to my face, which was almost another copy of my own experience in the yang world.

Li Jianguo even suspected that in his life script, the "problem" was brought into the group, and he had already squeezed out the heroine role that belonged to the other half of his life.

Because problems are always like fate, they meet unexpectedly, and they bump into you unexpectedly around a corner. You worked hard to solve it for a long time, dodged for a long time, and finally found that the problem was unharmed, and flashed with simple big eyes, and said to you gently: Stepping through the mountains and the sea, experiencing spring and summer warmth, you finally returned to my side.

Li Jianguo silently comforted himself:

At least, things are back on the track that the yang world is familiar with:

Li Jianguo began to think back to his methodology for solving problems in the yang world.

Self-pity is the first step in his general operation to try to solve the problem, which generally lasts about 4 hours, followed by a week or so of "procrastination", then a week or so of "complaining", and finally a "forget it, love" that lasts for a few days to dozens of days.

Li Jianguo cautiously judged the state he was in at the moment.

It seems that now is the time for self-pity.

……

The next day, at 21:55.

"I thought," Meng Po looked at Li Jianguo's expression, no more energetic than a middle school student who danced recess exercises, and said, "You should notify the rest of the underworld to track down Cui Ling's whereabouts now, after all, time is pressing." ”

"Alas," Li Jianguo spread his hands helplessly, "Where are you chasing now?" It's been so long, I don't know where people have gone. You don't know how hard it is to find a needle in a haystack......"

Meng Po replied, "I know. ”

Li Jianguo has skillfully begun to feel sorry for himself, with years of practice in the yang world, his self-pity skills have already been perfected: "Yes, you also know that this is very difficult, it seems that you have to discuss other methods with Master Bao, and when the time comes, Cui Ling will ......."

Meng Po sighed softly, as if she was a little impatient: "I mean, I know where Cui Ling has gone." ”

"Do you know where Cui Ling has gone...... You don't know where Cui Ling went," wait, Li Jianguo reacted and looked at Meng Po with a surprised expression: "What? Do you know where Cui Ling went? ”

Meng Po nodded: "There is only one exit from that passage, and it is an exit near the foot of Mount Tai at the north gate. This exit is for emergency purposes only and is not commonly used. Just in case, I usually set up eyeliner there and keep me informed of the whereabouts of the people leaving that exit. When I left the underground shelter just now, I had already received a letter from the mailbox at the exit about Cui Ling's whereabouts. ”

"Oh." Li Jianguo has been surprised too many times today, and now he can hardly adjust any emotions to maintain his surprise: "That's great, I'll go to report to Master Bao now." ”

"Master Li is going well," Meng Po handed the letter to Li Jianguo, bowed and saluted: "Xiaomin has also retired." Waiting for the good news. ”

Seeing Meng Po turn around and prepare to leave, Li Jianguo suddenly remembered something.

"Wait," Li Jianguo asked, "Lord Meng, can you reveal what agreement you and Cui Ling have reached?" According to you, since Cui Ling has neither obtained the recipe for Meng Po soup nor the right to use your refuge, what is your deal? Why did you tell me where he was? ”

Meng Po smiled: "In my dealings with him, there is no clause that I need to keep his location secret, so telling you his location is not my breach of contract." My deal with him was also very simple, I gave him five million taels of gold to start up, and he gave me a promise. ”

"A promise?"

Meng Po said indifferently: "A promise about the new Hades. Don't worry, you can first inform Master Bao of Cui Ling's whereabouts. ”

……

The next day, at 22:10.

Li Jianguo and Bao Zheng still chose to meet in Cui's Mansion, and when Li Jianguo stepped into Cui's Mansion, he saw that many people were busy, looking for places and checking things.

Bao Zheng and Black and White Impermanence They gathered around a large table, the table was piled with all kinds of documents and items, Bao Zheng casually copied a copy and quickly browsed a few pages: "Cui Ling is a careful person, we shouldn't be able to find any clues, but we still have to do what needs to be done." ”

Li Jianguo walked to the table, and also copied a notebook and looked at it, it seemed to be a correspondence between Cui Ling and others, and the signature was the word "Yu".

Bao Zheng and the others saw Li Jianguo come back alone, and glanced at each other.

"Master Li, you...... Put Cui Ling ...... Boom gone? ”

Li Jianguo was speechless for a while: Are you so sure that I can get out of their lair? Shouldn't I be worried about my safety in the first place?

Li Jianguo said helplessly: "Meng Po is safe, and I know Cui Ling's current location and whereabouts." ”

did such a noteworthy thing, but everyone's faces did not change, but they all looked like they had already understood.

"Sure enough, Master Li will come out, and things will be unfavorable." Bao Zheng said with a smile: "Even for a cautious and cautious person like Cui Ling, he is not Lord Li's opponent at all. So, where did Cui Ling go? ”

Li Jianguo told a few people what he knew, but deliberately concealed the relevant contents of Meng Po's refuge and forwarded the letter to Bao Zheng and others.

After reading the letter, Bao Zheng frowned, and transferred the letter to the black and white impermanence two people to look at.

"...... north of Mount Tai"

After reading it, several people exchanged a few glances and thought silently for a long time.

Li Jianguo looked at the expressions of several people and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Black Impermanence explained: "North of Mount Tai...... It should be the autonomous land set aside by the underworld for the demon race......"

Li Jianguo was confused: "Demon Clan...... Autonomously? ”

Black Impermanence said to Li Jianguo: "It turns out that the demon clan also has its own territory in the yang world, and as the scope of people's lives continues to expand, their areas are becoming less and less, but on the whole, they are still active in several relatively large areas. However, the policy has changed recently, and it was just a few decades ago, the yang world forbade the demon clan to become a sperm in the yang world, and several big demon clans were driven to the underworld, and now the demon clan and the underworld area are bordering. ”

Li Jianguo asked suspiciously, "The underworld...... Isn't it just Fengdu? ”

"Of course not, Fengdu is a big city in the underworld, the city closest to the yang realm, north of Mount Tai, west of the eighteenth layer of hell, and east of Huangquan, there are a large number of territories, but the degree of development is very low, so everyone generally thinks that Fengdu represents the underworld. At present, north of Mount Tai and east of Huangquan, a part of the territory has been set aside for the demon clan to live. They have just moved here, and they have a disagreement with us, and there have been several unpleasant incidents at the border, so the two generals are currently stationed at the border. ”

I see.

"In this way," Bao Zheng glanced at everyone with a serious expression: "The biggest possibility is that Cui Ling's current new underworld, as well as those souls that have disappeared in the yang world, are within the demon clan realm." ”

Looking at everyone's slightly dazed looks, Bao Zheng frowned slightly, and waved his hand slightly:

"With Master Li here, don't panic for the time being, let me think of a solution."

Bao Zheng then turned around and sat back on a circle chair, closed his eyes, and lowered his head in meditation.

Taking advantage of this gap, Li Jianguo looked at the black and white impermanence and the messy appearance of the Cui Mansion, and asked:

"Everyone knows Cui Ling's identity only three hours ago, did he get the search warrant so quickly?"

Hei Wuchang smiled: "There is no search warrant, and I don't look at what time it is, the Hades have already gone back to rest." ”

Li Jianguo had an expression of "sure enough", and tried to exchange a tacit look with the other party: "Understand and understand, special treatment in special times." ”

Hei Wuchang smiled and shook his head: "However, of course we got the approval. ”

"Oh? This search warrant, can anyone else approve it except for the Hades? ”

Hei Wuchang pointed to the ceiling: "It's okay for the master of the house to agree." After all, this is Cui Mansion, and Cui Ling is just a temporary judge of the Hades, you must know that one of the eight masters of the Hades Mansion is still alive, but they are just out of tolerance in the sky. Our search was naturally approved by the first master, Brother Cui Yu. ”

Cui Yu ...... Is it reasonable? Li Jianguo thought about it, and also remembered that there seemed to be a story of Cui Yu secretly adding a life limit to other people's life and death books, which should be the most empathetic among the gods in the underworld.

Hei Wuchang smiled: "Of course, after all, it is the first master of the underworld, Fengdu Wenju." Knowing that we were going to search his own home, he immediately sent a letter to say yes. ”

Li Jianguo asked again: "It seems that you have a good evaluation of Cui Yu." Then he knows...... Is his son ready to overthrow Hades? ”

Hei Wuchang sighed and nodded slightly: "There is nothing to avoid him, I have already told him." He kept us on business. Xiao Cui's child is really not worry-free, Brother Cui Yu kindly adopted him, but he didn't expect to be involved in such a situation. ”

Wait a minute.

Cui Ling...... Was it adopted by Cui Yu? How many years ago? ”

"Yes, three hundred years ago," Hei Wuchang replied, "I also asked Brother Cui Yu why, but he always looked constipated in this matter, and he didn't say anything to us." ”

Cui Ling is an adopted child?

Why would a Hades Priest adopt a child?

……

The next day, at 22:24.

"Everyone," Bao Zheng pondered, and finally spoke to everyone: "I think, we need to discuss the countermeasures in the future, if it is convenient, please come with me, let's go to a secluded room to communicate." ”

A moment later, the crowd gathered worriedly around a small round table, which seemed to be a study.

This study is also filled with soft blue light, which flows slowly in the study, like a quiet water wave, gently sweeping over everyone's face.

Only Black and White Impermanence, Bao Zheng and Li Jianguo participated in the discussion, and Huang Si did not attend the meeting as usual. However, Li Jianguo didn't see him at the door when he came back this time, maybe he met his previous partner, where to go to relax.

"We can sort out what happened first, and if there is any omission, please ask Master Li to correct it more." Bao Zheng said: "According to what we know now, until this morning, Cui Ling didn't want us to know that the soul of the yang world had disappeared, but Master Li successfully broke Cui Ling's entire plan. In the case of failure to stop Master Li, Cui Ling planned an attack on the Ghost Gate Pass, and used it as a cover to rob Meng Po. We can confirm that Meng Po and the other party must have reached an agreement, and I think one of the terms is that after the establishment of the new Hades, Meng Po will continue to supply Meng Po soup to ensure the survival of samsara; Subsequently, Cui Ling went to the demon clan territory with Meng Po's funds. ”

Everyone nodded, and Bao Zheng continued:

"In addition, there are three details that we need to pay attention to: first, when the Ghost Gate Pass was attacked, those souls were specially treated to avoid causing too many casualties to us; Second, there is a large number of orphans who have already made some kind of deal with Cui Ling; Third, it can be speculated that at least some of the demon clans are currently supporting the establishment of the new Hades. ”

"According to this," Bao Zheng glanced at the crowd and deduced, "Cui Ling wants to establish a new Hades to replace the functions of the existing Hades, and threaten the Three Realms to recognize the status of the new Hades with the soul in his hands. Cui Ling did not want to cause too many innocent casualties, but if necessary, Cui Ling could fully tolerate a certain amount of sacrifice. ”

Bao Zheng stared at everyone and asked, "So, if you were Cui Ling, what would you do?" ”

Everyone was silent while thinking, Bao Zheng had already expected everyone's reaction, and asked himself: "If I were Cui Ling, since my identity has been exposed, it is only a matter of time before he is discovered, so he will kidnap Meng Po in such a hurry." Now that he has gone to the Demon Clan, I think there is only one action for him to do after that. ”

Everyone looked at Bao Zheng and listened to Bao Zheng's next words with bated breath:

Bao Zheng didn't leave any suspense for everyone, and then said:

"Showdown."

Everyone gasped.

When the people heard this, they were uneasy.

After listening to this, Li Jianguo was fascinated.

He dreamed of a Bao Zheng's brain, anyway, at least it's cool, especially the "showdown" just now, wow, it's just loud, this sentence comes down at once, it feels like time is half a beat slower, and the atmosphere is directly full.

I don't know where I can crowdfund a good brain, according to the soul, is it just to find a good brain to possess...... If so......

Forehead...... Wait a minute.

Li Jianguo finally pulled his thoughts back.

Showdown? Cui Ling? How about the showdown? Is the soul annihilated? Want to implement it?

Everyone was thinking about it, and suddenly heard someone running in a hurry outside, Bai Wuchang immediately got up and went out to check, and saw a few people with nervous expressions and poor looks hurrying through the corridor:

"What's going on?"

Seeing Bai Wuchang, his expression was slightly soothed, and he gasped and said, "It's ...... I'm looking for you! Yes...... Just right, Bag-sama is also there! I would like to say to Mr. Xie and Mr. Bao, a super typhoon has formed in the ocean east of the Philippines, the Northwest Pacific Ocean, and the southwest of Guam at the same time, and it is rapidly approaching the East Asian continent! Abnormal vibration in the Tanlu fault zone, or a super earthquake will be born soon! The geology of the Himalayas is changing rapidly, and the landslide warning indicators are continuing to rise! And also...... And ......"

Seeing that the expression of the underworld became apprehensive again, and he stopped talking a little, Bai Wuchang shouted: "What else, say!" ”

He had no choice but to say: "When the guys sorted out the book of life and death just now, they found that most of the books of life and death have been dropped, and the rest of the books of life and death, the life limits of the people on them are changing rapidly, and the life limits of the vast majority of people are continuing to decrease!" ”

The crowd was shocked.

"It seems," Bao Zheng said, "Cui Ling has already begun to work on soul annihilation. ”

Everyone looked at each other again, and this time even Li Jianguo knew the meaning in his eyes:

The Three Realms are in trouble.
