[258] A new identity
Xiao Shizhu likes to be a dog and horse, which is known to almost all ghosts in the south of the underworld, and it is no secret; even he himself is in the court, and he is ashamed to openly declare that he has liked these things all his life. And color, and his favorite of these four things.
The ministers of the Communist Labor Country once thought about how to send their daughters and granddaughters to Xiao Shizhu and get an official position.
It's a pity that although Xiao Shizhu is lustful, he is also very picky, although the ladies of the subordinates are good-looking, but the connotation is slightly worse, either they will only be submissive, or they will tremble when they see Xiao Shizhu, and they can't get into Xiao Shizhu's eyes.
In addition, Xiao Shizhu was already very tired from dealing with the two grinding goblins of Luzhu and Pothos, and in the end, those ministers had to return with their daughters. Therefore, although Xiao Shizhu is lustful, he always wants to stay in the appreciation stage at the same time, and secretly sighs that it is still good for marriage in the world.
But these King Kong didn't know, he only knew that his king couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman.
As the ghost mother's four female officials, Dongyue was not only delicate, small and exquisite, but also governed the country well, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were all excellent, which was considered to have connotation in King Kong's view;
"What do you want?" Although Xiao Shizhu opened his eyes, he scolded when King Kong showed an ambiguous smile on his face: "Rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, am I such a ghost?"
"Yes. King Kong nodded affirmatively, and said meaningfully: "Isn't Mrs. Lai just ......", before he finished speaking, he hurriedly shut up and smiled.
"It was an accident, it was she who slept with Lao Tzu. Xiao Shizhu's cheeks flushed slightly, and after muttering without confidence, he turned around to avoid King Kong and said angrily: "Lao Tzu is sleepy and wants to sleep, don't disturb me." ”。
Leaving King Kong to sit alone, snickering and laughing......
Outside the city of Danshui, it is still the same, the Danmu grows along the river, the fiery red azaleas bloom, and the giant pitcher plant is all over the mountains.
Outside Danshui City, the changes are not very big. The old city wall has been renovated, and now the square city wall made of red sandstone has become much stronger, and the four major gates of the east, west, north and south have been expanded to eight gates.
Long smooth bluestone-paved alleys run through the city, and the streets are bustling with ghosts. In addition to the local people, there are also many wealthy merchants who come here to buy good wood and jade.
Rows of red brick and blue tile houses are neatly arranged on the side of the street, and the left and right symmetry and the main and secondary are distinct, and the delicate wood carvings and brick carvings can be seen everywhere between the ups and downs of the outline, and the exquisite eaves are gently upturned upward, and the momentum is extraordinary.
There are also many towering trees in the alley, and the yellow smooth sphere buildings have been built on the trees, which look like hummingbird nests, which are the residences of the city's detached people and immigrants.
The huge "bird's nest" between the green branches of those tall trees, when viewed from a distance, looks like an "eye of a tree" floating among the treetops. Coupled with the wisteria flowers that climb between the branches and trees, it is even more beautiful.
Two Xuanjiao disciples, dressed as peddlers and pawns, led a demon soul wearing a hat and a robe, and walked slowly to the front of the city.
Then they mingled with the demons, and followed the demons who had entered the city.
This demon soul is the sentence of the end of the world.
A month ago, Ying Zhao took advantage of the night to send him to death row, and handed him over to the care of Xuanjiao disciples who were placed on death row. At midnight on the third day, they quietly changed cells between Ju Mang and one of the death row inmates who had no relatives and no reason.
Another day later, in the middle of the night, Ju Mang was hooded, and after being secretly escorted out of death row as the death row inmate, he saw Ying Zhao on the execution ground that had been cleared.
After some disguise, he took off his prison uniform and changed into a set of coarse cloth robes, and a new coat and hat, then bid farewell to Yingzhao, and with these two disciples, quietly left Xiaoyu Mountain City, and then went to the military port, took the material ship arranged by Yingzhao, and came to Danshui County.
No ghost knows that Ju Mang appeared in the Nine Shadows Country, and the ghosts who came into contact with him, except for the few Xuanjiao disciples who escorted him and took care of him on death row, the others only knew that he was a death row prisoner who broke into the prison and was sentenced to permanent imprisonment by Lord Taishou.
As for the death row prisoner who was used to exchange the tanuki for the prince, he was also quietly poured dumb medicine by the Xuanjiao disciples who were recruited by Ying. In exchange for his life, he also kept Jumang's secret.
"Are we here to see our parents?" said Ju Mang in a whisper after passing the doorway, and along the way, the two souls who escorted him were polite, but they did not say a word about why they had come here. Whenever Ju Mang asked, they just said that this was the arrangement of Yingzhao.
This makes Ju Mang very incomprehensible, and he is also very curious.
"Nope. One of the disciples smiled, and the other replied quietly, "Brother, your identity is so special that you can't even know the county guard; let's find a place to live first, and a ghost will come to see you." ”。
Ju Mang nodded blankly, and followed them silently without asking any more questions.
The three ghosts walked for a long time, and came to the door of a house called Qingzhan Inn in the east of the city, and the two disciples entered the inn with Jumang, and after eating something first, they opened a Tianzihao upper room and lived in.
This inn is also the property of Xuanjiao, but the two disciples lived in, but because of the special mission of this time, they did not reveal their identities. Still paid the room truthfully.
After entering the door and closing the door with his backhand, the three ghosts sat around the round table in the room and drank tea leisurely.
Not long after drinking, there was an unhurried knock on the door. The two disciples looked at each other, then stood up, walked slowly to the back of the door, and slowly opened the door.
I thought it wasn't the guys in the store who were sending some snacks, but I didn't want to look behind the door, but I saw a young man standing outside the door.
There is no other ghost in the corridor except this ghost.
Although this human soul was dressed in short brown, he was handsome, with long eyebrows like willows on both sides of the bridge of his nose, a pair of bright eyes like stars under his eyebrows, and a little white face that was alive and well. Only between the eyebrows, there are a little more faint eyes than the little white faces, and the domineering of the world.
"Who are you?" the two cultists asked with wary faces.
The ghost didn't say anything, just raised his right hand, cocked his thumb, and showed the antler wrench that was set on it.
This wrench is not made of ordinary antlers, but from the horns of deer trees. On the fingers as white as snow, three lifelike ghost heads are engraved, side by side. One is angry, hideous and terrifying, and the other is smiling, but it is quite weird. And the one in the middle is an expressionless face, but there is an extra eye of God on the forehead.
When the two disciples saw the wrench, they were immediately shocked, and hurriedly put on their robes, then clasped their fists together and saluted, and said respectfully: "See the sect leader." ”。
Although none of them had seen Xiao Shizhu, they all knew that the wrench was the token of the leader of the Xuan Sect, and they immediately knew that the ghost was Xiao Shizhu.
"Good work. Xiao Shizhu smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed their arms to help them up.
"Is he here?" Xiao Shizhu asked again when they straightened up.
The two disciples hurriedly gave way and said, "He's inside." After watching Xiao Shizhu walk slowly like a room, he retreated and closed the door, and stood around the door with his head down.
Xiao Shizhu walked up to Jumang, who was also standing up and facing him, stood still, saluted slowly, and said, "Your Excellency is General Jumang, right?" As he spoke, his eyes rolled up and down, and he had already looked the demon soul up and down twice.
Ju Mang also looked him up and down, and saw that although this ghost was dressed in ordinary clothes, and the light smile on his face was full of amiability, but his whole body exuded a faint domineering aura, he nodded and said, "Can Your Excellency be the King of the Nine Shadows?"
"Yes. Xiao Shizhu smiled and nodded.
"Meet the Nine Shadows King. Ju Mang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down with his knees bent.
"There is no kneeling under my rule. Xiao Shizhu stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "Since you are in my territory, you will follow the customs of the locals, except for your parents and no one is worthy of you to bend your knees, including me." ”。
Ju Mang was shocked when he heard this, and his face showed an incredible look. In the underworld, the hierarchy is clear, and it is not a day or two, and each ghost is branded with servility in his bones. It has become a habit to kneel when you see a high-ranking ghost. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shizhu dared to break the stereotype and openly depose the kneeling salute.
This is also one of the reasons why the people of the Three Shou Countries, the Communist Workers Country and the Tou Tou Country, after their motherland was annexed, no people were willing to stand up and rebel;
And this also made Ju Mang stunned, and admired the seemingly weak and white-faced human soul in front of him.
was just following the will of Yin Lingzi and coming to take refuge, and there was a faint sense of loyalty in his heart.
"I'm honored to see Jumang, a general who killed the Xudu Army, who lost his armor. Xiao Shizhu smiled and said excitedly: "I heard that before the city was broken, you also counterattacked them, and attacked the enemy camp at night, and your brave order is admired." ”
The king laughed. You are the real hero, you are the real hero. Ju Mang invited him to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.
These words were all speculations after his observations. After a few days, he saw that in Jiuyou's country, there were images of national peace and security everywhere, and all parts of the country were also strong and strong, with various types of troops and rich experience in war, and he smelled the * smell from it, so he speculated whether Xiao Shizhu was preparing for war?
As for the rumors that circulated in the market before, those rumors that Xiao Shizhu was obedient to Emperor Xudu seemed to be just lies to confuse the enemy.
"Sit. After Xiao Shizhu invited him to sit down, his speculation was not denied or confirmed, but went straight to the point: "As long as you are willing, you will be the tactical instructor of our army from now on." ”。
