[042] Xiao Shizhu's determination
After he finished speaking, the ghost mother pondered for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "So, in fact, we have been fighting against the Mo family all these years?"
"Isn't it?" Xiao Shizhu nodded his head and said, "Wu Zhiqi also confessed to me that he originally lived in the Huai Mountain in the eastern part of the Six Heavens Continent. But one night a thousand years ago, Mo Zhai suddenly found him, used monetary benefits, and coerced his wife and children, and successfully recruited him and his people after repeated times. Not long after, Mo Zhai gave him an order to forcibly occupy the three star islands of the feather people. From then on, he became a pirate who killed a thousand knives. In the sea of obscurity, he robbed the cargo of merchant ships to raise funds for the Mo family. ”。
"Although Wu Zhiqi has done a lot of evil, it is undeniable that he is a demon soul of the Gu family. Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment, and then said: "This time I was self-defeating, and I inadvertently grasped his weakness and forced him to comply." From this point of view, he is not lying. And he is not blindly obedient to the Mo family, and the fact that he has more than 100,000 treasures in his private collection can prove that he is not so loyal to the Mo family. No one is a saint or a sage, and the same is true for the soul, and for the safety of his family, he has no choice but to do so, so I want you to give him a chance to make amends. ”。
"By the way, there's one more thing. Xiao Shizhu suddenly slapped the back of his head, stared at the ghost mother and asked: "According to Wu Zhiqi's explanation, he was able to compete with you before, half of the reason was that he was good at water warfare and occupied a favorable location, and the other half was an ink man named Ah Fu who handed him information. When you will go on the expedition, who is in command, who the warship is, and how many ships will pass through Ah Fu, he knows clearly in advance. Although he said that he had never seen Ah Fu either, the Ah Fu in his mouth must be the traitor we caught a few days ago. And he also confessed that the Mo family had secretly controlled the ghost kingdom. According to him, almost all of the current dignitaries of the Ghost Kingdom have become ink masters. ”。
"Huh?" the ghost mother was stunned when she heard this, like five thunderbolts, and her brain was buzzing. It's not that I'm worried about the safety of the ghost king, but the ghost king is also a prince officially recognized by the Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty, and his country actually let an underworld organization secretly control the power, this news is incredible.
The power of the Mo family is a bit exaggerated, so she suddenly has a trace of inexplicable worry in her heart.
She stared at Xiao Shizhu and opened her lips, but she always felt that her mouth was dry and she couldn't make a sound. After a while, the consternation in her eyes continued to increase, and she muttered, "How is this possible?"
"How is it impossible? Mo Zhai's soul is still a bit insidious. Xiao Shizhu snorted lightly and said, "I met him as early as when he was in the capital, and his ambitions were already evident at that time. ”。 After finishing speaking, Xiao Shizhu described the scene of his meeting with Mo Zhai to the ghost mother after a little recollection.
After everything was said, Xiao Shizhu looked up proudly and said: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu was not fooled at the beginning, this thing actually wants to pull me to rebel?
"I even suspect that the war between you and the Ghost King five hundred years ago was not started by the Ghost King himself, but by those ink masters who instigated him to do so. After finishing speaking, Xiao Shizhu looked at the ghost mother's still stunned expression, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
"A thousand years have passed, and what is due will come. Hearing this, the ghost mother hurriedly calmed down, lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head to look at Xiao Shizhu and said slowly: "Do you know that a thousand years ago, the war to encircle and suppress the Mo family?" The matter has come to this, and seeing that Xiao Shizhu's recent performance is quite loyal, the ghost mother simply plans to tell him some things about the past.
"I don't know, I've only been in the underworld for a few days. Xiao Shizhu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly, and at the same time curiosity flashed in his eyes, and hurriedly asked: "What do you mean that you should always come? He dares to use tricks against you, did you deceive Mo Zhai? Or did you use ordinary metal to pretend to be a steel pit to deceive the other party?"
"No, I'm the Ghost Mother King, and I'm not a profiteer!" The Ghost Mother got up after arguing loudly, slowly walked to the pool behind her and stood still, looking at the colorful koi fish that sometimes floated to the surface of the pool and spit out a few bubbles, and said quietly: "In fact, the Mo family has existed in the underworld for thousands of years, and at first it was a subordinate of the Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty. On the pretext of wooing the souls of people who are dissatisfied with Emperor Xudu, they wantonly recruit disciples, in fact, it is better to find out the souls who are dissatisfied with Emperor Xudu, and then secretly solve these souls. Until a thousand years ago, Emperor Xudu felt that they were useless, so he began to unload the mill and kill the donkey. ”。
"Get rid of the Mo family?" Xiao Shizhu also walked to her side and stood still, and after glancing at the ghost mother, he asked, "Why?
"No, the rebellion and the hatred of him have always existed, because he has found a way to put an end to the rebellion of the human soul. That is to leave the human soul of Bai Ding, so that the human soul can be better controlled. And after the capable human souls come to the underworld, they are all reincarnated immediately. Speaking of this, the ghost mother also turned her head to look at Xiao Shizhu, the two ghosts just looked at each other, the ghost mother stared at his star-like eyes, and said bluntly after a little groaning: "Like Chunyun and Qiushuang, they were all white before, and then they learned the divine sense with me, otherwise they are also ignorant human souls." It's you, the goblin, the goblin, the ghost idea, how you didn't enter reincarnation, I still haven't figured it out. It stands to reason that a human soul like you is capable of something, so you shouldn't stay in the underworld for too long, right?"
"I don't know about this, maybe it's because I don't have a high education in the world, and it's also the reason for Bai Ding. Xiao Shizhu scratched his head and laughed. According to his academic qualifications in the world, people who have never studied in college are actually no different from Bai Ding. In addition, I bribed the ghost, but I'm afraid this is also one of the reasons.
"Well, let's leave that at that. The ghost mother bowed slightly, put away her doubts and said: "Before Emperor Xudu made a move on the Mo family, he gave orders to various vassal states that those who are willing to send troops to help him can send troops, and those who are unwilling are not allowed to take in the disciples of the Mo family, but if he finds that he is hiding criminals, don't think about a good end." Although I was disgusted by his cunning rabbit and lackey cooking and did not send troops to help, for the sake of the millions of people in the ghost mother country, I did not dare to take in the Mo family disciples who fled in the wilderness. I have seen the methods of Emperor Xudu, and his ruthlessness cannot describe his viciousness. For the sake of insurance, I also sent Chunyun and Xia Xing to organize the army to conduct daily inspections throughout the country, for fear that there would be fish that slipped through the net. ”。
"The Ghost King has sent troops, isn't it?" Hearing this, Xiao Shizhu asked without thinking.
"Yes, he is the one who sent troops in many vassal states. The ghost mother sighed, her voice mixed with a little sadness, and then said: "Not only did he send troops, but he also ordered his subordinates to hang the captured ink on the wall and dry them alive, in order to show his loyalty to the Emperor Xudu." His hard work was just to be appreciated by Emperor Xudu, but he didn't know that Emperor Xudu was a selfish spirit, so how could he appreciate him for his performance?" The ghost mother seemed to be a little excited, and her voice became a little sharp.
The result is naturally foreseeable, the Mo family is simply a mantis arm in front of the Emperor Xudu, they were surrounded and intercepted by the army of the Emperor Xudu, and fled in all directions. Just when the defeat of the Mo family was decided, they suddenly disappeared overnight. Some say they were exterminated, others say they hid, and some are even more outrageous, saying that they were all forcibly reincarnated. But now it seems that they chose to break it into pieces and hid at the beginning. After the ghost mother tongue finished, he sighed softly.
"Oh. Xiao Shizhu nodded thoughtfully and said, "So Mo Zhai wants revenge?" Then after thinking about it for a while, he asked again: "So, it's not the ghost king who wants to steal the umbrella, it may be the Mo family?"
"Perhaps. The ghost mother said lightly, turned around again, walked back to the bookcase and sat down.
"What are you hiding in the umbrella?" Xiao Shizhu also chased after him, and said urgently: "At first, I suspected that a broken umbrella was going to be stolen, is the ghost king poor and crazy? At that time, it was indeed reasonable to look at this reason, but now that I think about it, I don't think it is reasonable at all, if the Mo family wants that umbrella, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as an artifact. It's not just a weapon that can kill the Emperor Xudu, but it hides some secrets. If it's just a life-killing weapon, the selfish Emperor would have coerced and lured you to hand it in. He didn't do it, which means he knows that the broken umbrella can't hurt him. This kind of common sense would not be known to an old ghost like Mo Zhai who has not been reincarnated for thousands of years? So I conclude that he must have another purpose for stealing the umbrella!"
The ghost mother didn't squeak when she heard this, but the index finger of her right hand, hidden in the sleeve robe, shook slightly. Xiao Shizhu guessed correctly, there was indeed a shocking secret of the underworld hidden in that umbrella that even the Great Emperor of the Northern Yin Dynasty did not know, and it was precisely because of this that she suddenly became nervous. Because of this, I don't know how Mo Zhai knew this secret, and the worry in his heart flashed again.
"Tell me and I can help you. Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, Xiao Shizhu squatted down beside her, suddenly took her hand and held it tightly in his hand, and said sincerely: "I really don't want to see you being pitted by other ghosts." If there's a secret hidden in the umbrella, then I know and I can help you come up with a solution. ”。
This move startled the ghost mother, who was already a little nervous, and she wanted to withdraw her hand, but was grabbed even tighter by Xiao Shizhu, so she had to scold urgently: "What are you doing?"
"What am I not doing?" Xiao Shizhu was not afraid, and she said in a square voice: "I just want to know what is the secret of that umbrella?"
"It's nothing, it's really just an artifact. After thinking about it for a while, the ghost mother finally chose to hide it. Then she looked at Xiao Shizhu's sincerity on his face and smiled indifferently. It's just that this smile, so stiff and unnatural, is obviously lying, Xiao Shizhu doesn't know.
But the ghost mother was reluctant to say it, and he didn't force it, so he had to let go of the ghost mother's hand and stand up.
"As for me, I may be a little lazy and slanderous on weekdays, and I am not serious, but this does not mean that I am easy to bully, who dares to bully me and the people I like, then I will give him a glimpse of my methods. After Xiao Shizhu took a deep breath, after showing a serious look to the ghost mother, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said slowly in a firm tone: "If you don't talk about the umbrella, I won't force you." But I will be ready to deal with the Mo family, judging from the current general signs, they have plotted against you. And I like you, more than any ghost in the underworld, so I'm ready to fight them for you, and you won't be allowed to stop me when the time comes. Also, though I don't want to be a mob, you are my everything, you are my moon, the stars, the sun, you are my flowers, quietly blooming in my eyes, and no one wants to hurt you in my eyes. Don't say it's his Mo family, even the Emperor of Beiyin Xudu Lao Tzu is not stunned! If one day he dares to touch you, I will definitely be the first ghost to stand in front of you. ”。 The words are sonorous and powerful.
And before, he blindly thought about the idea of setting up a * back after a hundred years of mixing in the ghost mother country, but he also left it behind at this moment.
The ghost mother looked at him stunned, and the cloudy sunlight just came through the window not far behind Xiao Shizhu, making Xiao Shizhu feel like a holy light above his head.
