Chapter 226: Red Flame Hell
Celestial Temple, Back Mountain, Night.
The winter nights in the north were unusually cold, the frost had sprinkled a silvery white on the roof tiles early, glowing in the moonlight, the fallen leaves were piled up and rotting on the stone pavements and steps, and a few foraging mice hurriedly slipped along the roots of the walls, not daring to approach the stone well.
Tianjie Temple is located at the foot of Zhuolu Mountain in the northwest of Beizhili, the front mountain repairs the temple, the temple occupies an extremely wide area, the incense is vigorous, the back mountain after the cliff opens the well, takes water for the monks in the temple for daily use, but this well is dug not long before it dries up by itself, the monks have to be reluctant to seek far, every three days to the nearby Sanggan River to take water with a water wheel.
The dry well was built on a stone platform, there was a stone staircase built around it, the mouth of the well was about a zhang wide, the well was made of marble octagonal, covered with a dragon pattern manhole cover cast in fine iron, and there was a stone house next to the well, which was used as the residence of the person who guarded the stone well, which was now in disrepair and dilapidated.
Since the red dragon, one of the three immortals of the ghost road, was captured by Bukong and Bu Se, locked in this dry well, the back mountain has become the forbidden place of the Tianjie Temple, no matter outsiders or monks of all sizes in the temple, they are not allowed to step into half a step, and the only mountain road to enter the back mountain is tightly sealed.
Under the moonlight, two black shadows flew down from the roof of the front hall and landed on the well platform of the back mountain, and only two tall backs were seen.
Look at the two of them are much taller than ordinary people, one is broad-shouldered and thin-waisted, wearing a black sun and moon pattern python robe, wearing a galaxy crown, a brown jade belt tied around the waist, hanging a fast tiger jade pendant, the other is graceful, curved, wearing a blue weave gold makeup satin women's dress, with a chaotic cloud bun on her head, a bone hairpin, and a jasper wrench on the thumb of her left hand.
"This place is so dilapidated and dirty, is the red dragon really here?" a female voice came, and the woman in Tsing Yi touched the jasper wrench, and her eyes swept around the stone platform.
The man in black spoke, his voice hoarse, "Chilong was injured by Bai Ze and Yellow Lion in Mount Tai back then, and he met two monks, Bukong and Buse, so he was caught here by them, and it won't be wrong." ”
The woman in Tsing Yi sneered, "You and I are the leaders of the ghost envoys of the Black Cloud Capital, and I have followed the Wulie Ghost King to crisscross the ghost path for hundreds of years, but I don't want to be exploited by Zhong Dazi, an old slippery head. ”
"Hahaha, this Zhong Dazi is cunning. The man in black laughed loudly, remembering the scene before he set off that day.
Xudu Mountain, Red Flame Hell.
"I am Xiao Hu, the black-backed eagle of the left guardian army under the account of the Wulie Ghost King, and now I am passing the word for the Wulie Ghost King, the Wulie Ghost King has returned to the Black Heaven Demon Emperor, and he is going to lead the Ghost Dao back to the peak and recapture the Three Realms occupied by the Heavenly Emperor and the Three Qing Sects, and now I am going to send the Black Cloud Ghost Envoy to infiltrate Middle-earth to inquire about the news, is there anyone willing to go and make contributions?" The man in black stood on the high platform and said to the ghosts under the stage.
The sky behind him was cloudy, the sun and moon were nowhere to be seen, and below the high platform was the Red Flame Hell, ghostly fire burning and smoke scattering.
On the steps under the high platform stood dozens of ghost path villains who had just escaped from the Red Flame Hell, all of them were strangely shaped, they were overjoyed when they heard this, raised their hands and cheered, eager to try.
The woman in Tsing Yi appeared on the high platform, and from the crowd of enthusiastic people under the stage, she picked out five people, namely the earth fairy Zhong Dazi, the rhinoceros monster cupola horn, the three-legged golden ugin does not change, the flying wild boar Xu Zhu, and the wild shark in the sea kill Wuji, these five people have different appearances and personalities, standing in one place, it is more like a gathering of enemies.
The rest of the ghosts were not convinced, and they started to shout.
"What are they?"
"Blue lark, do you have a leg with them?"
Everyone laughed, the tense atmosphere was somewhat relaxed, the woman in Tsing Yi had delicate facial features, a white face, and a cloud pattern tattooed on her forehead, hearing everyone's ridicule, the corners of her mouth showed an evil smile, the jade wrench in her hand swirled, and a blue light flew out, only to hear a person in the crowd let out a scream, covering her mouth and screaming "babbling", it turned out that this person's tongue had been cut off.
"Does anyone else want to speak?" the woman in Tsing Yi had a sweet voice and a smiling face.
The crowd fell silent with fright.
Zhong Dazi said with a smile: "It is worthy of Aunt Zi, the right protector of the Wulie Ghost King, the Qinglark Ghost Hand, really fast and ruthless, I think they have learned to shut up, what do you two command, please tell me, we can come out of this hell and fire, all thanks to the help of the Wulie Ghost King and the two, we are duty-bound and honored to be able to serve the Wulie Ghost King." ”
Xiao Hu was born with a square face and a lightning tattoo on his forehead, glanced at Zhong Dazi, and said, "I see that you are not a ghost person, and there is a fairy light above your head, how can you fall here and suffer?"
Zhong Dazi smiled bitterly: "I am indeed not a ghost person, I was originally a ghost hunter in the South China Sea, and I practiced the Sanqing Dao method, but I was a little anxious, and I made up a ghost thing as my Dan material, and was driven out of the division, and later I was arrested by General Shendi and suffered here." ”
"Fart, you must have killed the ghosts and demons, taken their Neidan, and increased your Taoism. Chong Tianjiao said angrily, "A cultivator like you is no different from us ghosts, and there is no loss at all when locked up here!"
Zhong Dazi didn't hide it, and nodded again and again, "Yes, that's right, I didn't say that I was wronged, let's stop dividing any immortals and ghosts, we are all the same unscrupulous people to achieve our goals." ”
"Okay, the Martial Ghost King is short of people like you now, so I'll send you there this time. Xiao Que said with satisfaction.
"Yes, thank you for the promotion!"
Aunt Zi dismissed the unsuccessful ghosts, let them return to the Red Flame Hell to continue to standby, and said to the five people: "Now we have the news, the Ghost Book may appear in the East China Sea, now you have to divide the troops into five ways, all the way to the Heavenly Realm Temple to find the red dragon, force him to tell the whereabouts of Bai Ze, the second way to the East China Sea to find Liu Yanru, to assist him in the collection of the ghosts of the three islands in the East China Sea, put up a counter-flag, expand the power, the third way to approach Maoshan to send Zhao Shi, the fourth way to find Yin Mengfu and Yu Yu, the fifth way to find Dou Qiongying and Zhang Ruyi, to confirm whether there is any Rahu Linfan among them, if you find the whereabouts of Rahu Xing, you must try to win the other party into my command, if you succeed, the ghost king will naturally be rewarded. ”
After hearing this, Zhong Dazi rolled his eyes and said: "The two Protectors are brave and brave, I heard that the Zuo Protectors and the Red Dragon have met, but are they?"
"Yes, when I followed the Wulie Ghost King and fought against the Three Qing Immortals, I fought against the Red Dragon. Xiao Que mentioned this history, quite conceited.
"That is the case, if Lord Zuo Hujun goes to the Heavenly Realm Temple in person, Chilong will naturally obey when he sees you, I have been to Maoshan and am familiar with the path, why don't I go to Maoshan and meet that Zhao Shishi!"
As soon as he said this, others also said that since you are powerful in protecting the army, the task of finding the red dragon is not prepared for you! They have received other tasks, the wild shark in the sea kills Wuji, and the flying boar Xu Zhu and the two of them are going to the East China Sea to meet Liu Yanru, and Chongtianjiao is going to find Yin Mengfu, and the three-legged golden Wujin chooses to find Dou Qiongying and Zhang Ruyi.
Xiao Que and Aunt Zi saw that everyone had made a choice, and they had no choice but to do so, originally they didn't plan to go out of the mountain, this time they were forced to go to the Heavenly Realm Temple in person, Aunt Zi was always angry with Zhong Dazi in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to hold back her anger, and said according to the instructions of the Ghost King: "Everyone, please keep in mind that now the Black Sky Demon Emperor has a major event to be done, we must not publicize it too much, and act secretly!"
