In Suiyang City, under the starry night.

Everyone was greeted by dense barren grass and shrubs, as well as the white bones that appeared from time to time in the barren grass.

Near the left, the eaves and ridges are also hidden in the starry night and the barrenness, and the shadows are full of silhouettes and corners.

The low walls have collapsed, the doors and windows are rotten, and it is impossible to see where there were once human settlements and where are shops.

Zi Ruyuan and the Seven Sons of Huomen, who led the way in front, did not dare to cast spells at this time, nor did they dare to use their swords to split, let alone burn with fire, so they could only remove the grass and trees and thorns with their bare hands to open the way for everyone.

Hearing the footsteps, the pheasants and hares that were sleeping in the barren environment at night instantly ran and fled, bringing a burst of rustling noise.

Unlike what everyone saw, Yu Tang followed behind the team, but what he saw in his eyes was not just this barrenness.

On the contrary, through this desolation, what he saw at the moment was the bustling bustle of the city.

The ground is wide and flat, and the traffic is vertical and horizontal.

There is a lot of traffic and pedestrians.

On both sides of the avenue, there are even more shops and wine shops, with banners swaggering.

Vegetable sellers, wine sellers, food eaters, gamblers, you name it.

shouted loudly one after another, for fear of missing every opportunity to rip off customers.

It's just that no matter how prosperous and lively the city is, the protagonists are those ghosts who float.

And what they used for trading was not the paper money of the underworld, but the remnants of the rest of the Yin Spirits.

For example, the vegetable seller has green silk and white hair with a scalp on the stall.

For example, the one who sells wine scoops out the white liquid that is still soaked in the liver, spleen and lungs.

Like the one who eats, what he holds in his hand is a ghost head with a cracked brain and still rolling eyes.

For example, in the case of gambling, in addition to pai gow, there are also fragments of different parts of the ghost body used as gambling money.

......

And so on and so forth.

Yu Tang looked at the scene in this prosperous city, and suddenly felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.

He could only retract his gaze and only follow closely behind Zi Ruyuan and the others.

Even so, the voices of countless ghosts chatting frantically drilled into his ears.

"Today, a holy king marries, and our Suiyang can be lively. ”

"It's not, not to mention anything else, just the meals in Chunhuitang are fresher than usual. You see, the starving ghost's eyes are still moving, crunch-well-crunch-"

"Alas, you guy, you have such a strong taste, and the eyes of the hungry ghost are so delicious?

"Who told me that I was blinded by that thief when I was alive, and now it's like this, crunch-"

"Gotta get it, whatever you want, anyway, Lei Chitose led the troops out of the city this time, and there have been more than 10,000 starving ghosts, I'm not afraid that we won't have to eat——"

"Isn't that enough for us to eat fresh food for a while?"

"Think beautifully, you think that these tens of thousands of starving ghosts are all for us?"

"Isn't it? The drowning ghosts, hanged ghosts, and starving ghosts that we have been detained before, when did the Holy King not share them with us?"

"It used to be before, but this time it's a little different. ”

"What's the difference?"

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard from the brothers who were working beside the Holy King that most of these starving ghosts detained by Lei Chitose this time would be sacrificed. ”

"Sacrifice it? To whom? Our holy king is already the ghost king of this thousand miles away, and the ten halls of the Yama king can't control it, who else can make the holy king pay tribute?"

"You, you, you're really a reckless man, haven't you really heard which bride the Holy King is marrying this time?"

"Except for the daughter of a certain eunuch, which one else can it be? It can't be a mountain spirit and wild monster, right?"

"Shhh

"What am I talking about? Isn't it, isn't it—hey, how could it be?"

"Eat and eat, don't talk about this, just eat. ”

"Crunch crunch—"

"Click, click, click—"

The chewing sound began, and the conversation between the two ghosts ended there.

Yu Tang's ears fluttered, and he wanted to listen to some other useful information, but it was just a gag conversation between ghosts, and his words and deeds were no different from the daily routines of the people in the yang world.

Convinced that he would not be able to hear any more useful information, Yu Tang finally retracted his thoughts, and he had not had time to digest the deep meaning of the conversation between the two ghosts.

At this time, Zi Ruyuan had already led everyone to overcome all obstacles, and finally came to the wall in the middle of the city, in front of a tall building.

Yu Tang looked up and saw a plaque hanging obliquely on the lintel of the building, inscribed with five big white characters of "Sima Shengwang Palace".

Suddenly seeing these words, Yu Tang immediately thought of General Baima's shout, as well as the whispering between the two ghosts just now.

In an instant, Yu Tang already understood that Zi Ruyuan had brought them directly to the ghost king's lair in the city.

Suddenly, Yu Tang trembled, and he wanted to run away.

But as soon as he turned around, Zi Ruyuan's right hand was unconsciously on his shoulder, and Yu Tang's body immediately froze.

After subduing Yu Tang lightly, Zi Ruyuan whispered to everyone: "Okay, it seems that this should be an ancestral hall, and the people who should be enshrined should be the predecessors who have won the Great Dao." Even if it is badly dilapidated, there must be a little residual incense wishing power, and ordinary sneaky people will not come here. Tonight, we can barely cope with it for a night in this temple, how about it?"

Lan Haiyao looked nervous, and was just silent when she heard the words.

Although Bai Yutang didn't say anything, one foot had already crossed the threshold of the temple's decay.

The rest of the people, except for Yu Tang, how could they have any opinions.

Yu Tang wanted to stop it, but he couldn't even say a word, so how could he dissuade him?

Zi Ruyuan saw that everyone had no opinions, so he didn't say anything more, led a group of people to wait, and stepped in.

It has to be said that although this temple is dilapidated, it covers an extremely wide area, with three floors: the outer hall, the middle hall and the inner hall.

The inside is overgrown with weeds, and all kinds of furnishings are rotten, but it can still be seen from the general layout that it is quite luxurious.

It's just that Yu Tang doesn't understand, why didn't such a character enter the underworld to serve as a job, but stayed here and became a ghost king occupying a ruined city?

When he was puzzled, Zi Ruyuan led everyone through the outer hall and the middle hall, and went straight into the inner hall.

As soon as he stepped into the inner hall, Yu Tang instantly felt a strong yin qi rushing towards his face.

Looking up, in the middle of the inner hall, there is a statue wearing a green robe and crown, three feet high.

The statue is mottled with paint and is quite old.

To Yu Tang's surprise, this statue only has a body, but no head.

Looking around, in the weeds, there was a huge head planted upside down and painted with paint.

A pair of eyes bigger than the sea bowl were looking at Yu Tang through the gaps in the weeds.

"I'm a mother-"
