A ghost official answered and turned to leave. I guess I went to find the fungus man to deliver the message.

"My lord, please allow me to introduce you to the local officials and generals. Ying Zhao said this again, and turned to face the ghost officials and ghost generals behind him.

The sea breeze fuels the waves, and the waves are loud. White waves crashed against the shore reef, splashing water. The seagull rested on the mast and spread its wings again.

Xiao Shizhu followed Ying Zhao, and after seeing the ghost officials and ghost generals accompanying Ying Zhao one by one, he stood still in front of them and said to them in an official tone: "You have worked hard to defend the island; it is because of your conscientiousness and dedication to your duties that the north gate of our country can be impregnable." ”。

To be honest, Xiao Shizhu was very reluctant to play such an official tone. But on this occasion, a few official words can make the ghost generals and ghost officials feel honored.

As soon as Xiao Shizhu finished speaking, their faces were full of pride and pride. Even his eyes flickered.

"I hope you will keep up the good work. Xiao Shizhu struck while the iron was hot, and after a pause, he said: "Don't let down the hopes of me and many ghost people in the country." ”。

After saying that, he waved behind him, and four more soldiers came down from the flying thunder car, two ghosts in a group, and they walked off the flying car with a large mahogany box.

"This is some ancient wine and ayara left by some ancient gods, specially brought to treat you. Xiao Shizhu asked the ghost soldiers to divide the contents of the wooden box with Ying Zhao's subordinates, and then took the lead and walked towards the outside of the port.

Ying Zhao and the national teacher Yingying, as well as some of the ghosts he brought, also followed.

Walking out of the harbor, it is a straight path to Xiaoyu Mountain City. Several cars pulled by two unicorns were already waiting on the side of the road.

Xiao Shizhu passed by the side of the car, and did not board the car, but continued to walk straight forward along the underworld. Seeing that the big guy didn't take the car, the other ghost officials were embarrassed to board the car, so they had to follow Xiao Shizhu on foot.

The ghost of the car also proudly drove the unicorn, pulling the empty car, and slowly followed behind them.

"Ying Zhao, have you dug it?" After walking forward for a long time, Xiao Shizhu looked left and right at the roadside scenery and asked Ying Zhao.

The two sides of the underworld have not changed much, and they are still as good as before. Overgrown with towering ancient trees that cover the sky and the sun, time has twisted the torso of these ancient tombs into various shapes. A huge canopy of trees rose horizontally above the underworld, obscuring the cloudy light cast from the sky. Vines tangle the branches, and thick mosses and ferns hang over the trunks and branches of the trees. It also covered the woods, on every bare rock from the soil.

A thin ghost mist fills the air, and there is a wild fang under the rocks. A cool breeze blows through the forest, and the towering ancient trees shake off the fallen leaves.

Walking in the wind, Xiao Shizhu was a little in a trance when there were fallen leaves flying in front of him. At this moment, he returned to the comfortable time when he first arrived in the Netherworld.

At that time, Xiao Shizhu really lived happily and freely. I don't have so many busy things every day, and I always have time to recruit cats and dogs and play landscapes.

Wait until the fallen leaves spin around him a few times and float to the ground. Xiao Shizhu also came to his senses at this time, and secretly scolded fiercely in his heart: "Damn Emperor Xudu, I don't have time to have fun." ”。

"Digging up, there is indeed an entrance to the Yellow Spring. At the same time, Ying Zhao also followed. After walking side by side with Xiao Shizhu, he whispered: "Now in that place, I have arranged guards and guards. My sister-in-law also sent several teams of Xuanjiao disciples, all of whom had secretly entered the vicinity of the entrance of Huangquan and set up open and secret sentinels. ”。

After saying this, Ying Zhao looked back at the female ghost who was walking with Shi Cassia Ming, frowned and thought for a while, and then asked Xiao Shizhu, who was slightly bowed and satisfied: "Big brother, is the female ghost who walked with Shi Cassia Ming a female ghost?

It was the first time for the girl to come to Shuoyue Island, and she was curious about everything around her. Especially on both sides of the underworld, under the heavy green of the ancient wood, the vicissitudes and profundity that could not be concealed seemed to make her have a strong interest, and she always couldn't help but look left and right, and from time to time she whispered what Shi Cassia was beside her.

I didn't notice at all that Ying Zhao didn't look back at himself with a vigilant gaze.

"yes. Xiao Shizhu nodded again.

"Are you going to take her in?" Ying Zhao looked back, turned his head to look ahead, and asked again.

This time, Xiao Shizhu didn't answer, but nodded patiently again.

Ying Zhao didn't ask any more questions, slowed down his pace and followed behind Xiao Shizhu. At the same time, he lowered his head slightly, thinking about something as he walked.

"Yingzhao, don't worry. The Female Rings are not our enemies. Xiao Shizhu, who didn't even look at him, had already guessed what Ying Zhao was thinking, so he whispered to him: "Taking her with me to Huangquan will increase my chances of coming back alive." ”。

Ying Zhao was worried, but he didn't squeak anymore.

"Yingzhao, I won't rush into the Yellow Springs next, I will first inspect the defenses of all parts of Shuoyue Island. Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but feel a little bored, so he beckoned to Ying Zhao behind him.

Xiao Shizhu, this is also the drunkard's intention, not in wine. Since they landed on the island under the pretext of inspection, they had to do what was true and what was false. If he doesn't really look around, it's hard to convince him that he's inspecting the island.

Ying Zhao walked up quickly, and after walking side by side with Xiao Shizhu again, Xiao Shizhu smiled at him again, and said, "You kid can be mentally prepared, if I find out what loopholes there are in your military administration, I will punish you." ”。

"Big brother, don't worry, I can't do other things, help you take care of Shuoyue Island, it's all done in an orderly manner, and there will never be any loopholes. Ying Zhao's generous palm, patted his chest, and confidently promised: "Big brother, just go and inspect, make sure you can't find any loopholes at all." ”。

Xiao Shizhu smiled without saying a word, quickened his pace, and strode towards Xiaoyu Mountain City, which stood between heaven and earth in the distance......

The sky above Yuque City was covered with dark clouds, and the yin wind swirled.

The rain fell and moistened Yuque City. The grass and trees in the city and the streets were misty with rain, and the raindrops slipped down the tips of the leaves. Hit the smooth bluestone pavement in the city, shattered into water splashes and splashed high, playing the water spirit notes that diffused yin qi.

In the Yuque Palace, the pavilions and pavilions are also dripping. The hall was also refreshed under the dense drizzle. The ghost mother who went down to the dynasty was surrounded by Chen Ruo and Qing Lan and headed towards Tianyang Palace.

Qinglan held a plain white paper umbrella and stretched it out to the ghost mother's head, shielding her from the wind and rain overhead. The ink paintings of the landscapes painted on the paper umbrellas come to life in the mist and mist. And Chen Ruo held an umbrella in one hand, and a lot of notebooks and official documents in the other, followed the ghost mother closely.

Stepping into the Tianyang Palace, the ghost mother saw the fungus god Jihou at the door, with a faint anxiety on her face, as if she had been waiting for a long time. Walking to Shenji's side, the ghost mother didn't stop walking, and said in her mouth: "Come with me, enter the palace and talk." ”。

After swallowing what he was about to say, Shen Ji followed the ghost mother towards the main hall of Tianyang Palace.

Placed on the ground in the middle of the main hall, it is rectangular and surrounded by a large round hole in the middle of the copper furnace with a curved ruler-shaped fold, and charcoal has been lit. A warm current rose, diluting the chill pouring in from outside the open temple door.

The splendid tapestry is hung on the wall, and most of the cold air is isolated before entering the main hall, and there is a warm current flowing on the body. The heating in the stove is therefore gathered in the main hall and not dispersed.

The ghost mother and they just entered the door, and the palace people who were waiting outside the door put down the beaded curtain on the door. The wind blew and was blocked by the curtain, and the curtain shook, and the pearls on it rubbed and collided, making a pleasant sound like a hinge.

Under the fragrant mist, the ghost mother gently moved the lotus and walked into the depths of the hall.

On the three-level high platform in the depths of the main hall, in front of the five-fan screen with gold lacquer carved cloud dragon and flying phoenix pattern, there are two heavy and huge thrones side by side. One is made of extremely rare purple yellow dragon jade, carved with exquisite winged phoenix patterns. The other is a bright yellow dragon jade, carved cloud dragon pattern throne.

The seat is carved with light, and the armrests are decorated with lifelike abduction patterns, moire patterns and various folded branches and flowers. They are all carved from a single piece of jade, without any splicing.

And in front of the throne, there is a horizontal case, which is also carved from jade. These are all old objects made in the era of the ancient gods, and they are still not rotten after the passage of time, and they are also antiques.

The two sides of the recital are furnished with ends, crane candlesticks, and incense sticks. These furnishings are all made of brass and were brought from the Ghost Mother Palace. However, it also has a history of thousands of years, and it is also an antique in the underworld.

The old one is a little old, but as long as it can still be used, the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu have no plans to replace it with a new one.

The Ghost Mother bypassed the recital and sat down on a throne carved out of jade. A pair of golden phoenix mouth bead knots on her head, and a pair of golden hairpins decorated with pearl peony flowers, in the hydrangea palace lamp hanging above her head, under the soft light emitted by the centipede beads, it became as bright as snow, like stars flashing on the top of the ghost mother's head.

"Shenji, do you have anything to report?" After sitting down, the ghost mother immediately asked Shenji, who was standing in the distance in front of the recital.

The god didn't step forward, but stood on the spot and bowed, and then replied, "King Yama has already won the right to rule the land of the two counties of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and hopes that we will send a ghost official to take care of the local area, so that he will not have to worry about the future." ”。

After listening carefully, the ghost mother turned her head and said to Qing Lan, who had placed the official documents and playbooks in her arms on the music table one by one: "Go to the Heavenly Palace, let the Tianguan Tomb Zai Lu Wu and the chief examiner, and sort out a list of outstanding students who have graduated from the Academy Palace in the last two or three years." ”。

"No. Qing Lan answered, turned around and went out.

"There is one more thing, the news that has just come from Shuoyue Island is that the lord has landed on the island safely. Next, the main guild will begin to inspect the island's defenses, so let's tell you. Shen Ji continued.

Xiao Shizhu's entry and exit from Huangquan is absolutely confidential. So even Shenji didn't know too many details, so he just thought that Xiao Shizhu was just going to Shuoyue Island to inspect the defense.

When he finished speaking, the ghost mother rummaged through the case for something. After a while, she handed a list to Chenruo, who was standing beside her, and asked Chenruo to roll up the list and hand it to Shenji.

"Let the ordnance supervisors of Danshui County and Fengdui County deliver the goods according to the order, and all of them will be sent to Shuoyue Island and Sanxing Island, as well as Black Dragon Island. When Shen Ji took the list and held his hands on his chest, the ghost mother said again: "These are all used by Yingzhao for them, so that the weapons supervisors in Danshui County and Fengdu County can hurry up and deliver the goods." ”。

"Yes. Shen Ji, who responded, took out the rope he was carrying, tied up the list in his hand, put it on his back, and said: "Finally, there is news from Liutianzhou, it is said that a large number of people are playing with the calf pass. ”。
