Xiao Lie quietly took the four of them to a dilapidated firewood house and looked out of the window. Nangong Junzhe and the other four people didn't know why, they didn't know that this kid was smoking that evil style, Zhao Haiquan squatted next to him and looked out, and asked: "Stinky boy, what are you looking at, don't you hurry home and sleep this big night, what are you doing in this broken firewood room? Did you see the thief, or did you see the wanted Jiang Yang thief?"

Xiao Lie first looked up at the moon, and at this time, it was already night, and a bright moon hung in the sky. Xiao Lie pointed out the window, the street opposite them happened to be where the Chenghuang Yamen was, Xiao Lie said to a few of them: "You look at the gate of the Chenghuang Yamen, and look at the road on both sides of it, and you will know why I am doing this at a glance." ”

A few people looked in the direction of Xiao Lie's finger, only to see a group of City God ghost soldiers constantly coming out of the City God's Yamen, and the number was enough to fill three streets. Zhao Haiquan exclaimed: "Where are the Yin soldiers borrowing the road? Where are they going to borrow the road, you see the ghosts standing on both sides of the door, these are the two ghosts of the Hell Capital City." When I first opened an inn in Yudu, I dealt with the two of them. These two ghosts come to the inn for a sunshine meal every month, and I also inquired from the side. The two of them are in charge of raising ghost soldiers in the Punishment Division, and go to the place where the dead gather to capture the souls of the dead. The two of them are here today, and I'm afraid that something more tragic happened in the vicinity, either a natural disaster or a military rebellion. ”

Nangong Junzhe and Yin Xuesong have never really seen the scene of Yin soldiers borrowing the road, and they were all hearsay before, but after seeing it with their own eyes today, they felt extremely shocked. Yin Xuesong said to Zhao Haiquan: "Brother Zhao, you just said that this Yin soldier borrowed the way to collect souls, but there are too many ghost soldiers who collect souls. And I've always had a question, shouldn't the ghost be responsible for this soul hooking thing, why do you send so many ghost soldiers to do it?"

"You don't know this, let me tell you, this is because the number of dead soldiers is too large, and the usual ghosts can't catch them, so they have to use so many ghost soldiers to assist them. It's like we were in the Little Barren Mountain before, and there will definitely be so many ghosts going to hunt down the undead at night. Zhao Haiquan explained.

Xiao Lie stretched out his hand and made a motion that made them quiet, took two steps back, and then said to them, "No, this is not a simple mission for Yin soldiers to capture souls. Something must have happened. No, their behavior, manners, and movements are different from what they usually do, just like when we go on a journey. And you take a closer look at what hangs from their waists, it's a demon bundle bag, not a soul bundle bag. Could it be that some powerful and difficult monster has appeared around Crane City?"

As soon as Xiao Lie's voice fell, several people looked out along the cracks in the windows and doors, and the ghost pawn was really hanging a demon bag on his waist, and if he didn't observe it carefully, he couldn't find it at all. This bundle of demon bags and soul bundles look almost the same, the difference is only in the rope at the mouth of the bag. The bundle demon bag is a golden rope, and the soul bundle bag is a black rope, and those who don't know the goods will definitely not notice it.

Nangong Junzhe hesitated for a moment, and immediately said to them: "That's not right, if there are monsters in or around our Hecheng, it is impossible for the Duwei Mansion and the Jinyi Weifu to not know, and Zuo Tianming and Qiu Feixu did not use the contact butterfly to inform us that something happened in the city." Turning his head and asking Xiao Lie again: "When will we be able to go out?" I have a very bad feeling now, what I am most afraid of is that our two yamen, there is no one now, not that they are all dead, but I am worried that they have gone to the place where the accident happened, and there is no time to send us a contact butterfly, so we will not know anything about this matter." I've got to go back, or I'm going to have a piece of my heart in it. ”

"We'll be able to get out of here when they're out of the street completely. According to the rules of the Chenghuang Yamen, if the living see so many ghosts, it is absolutely not allowed, and the people who see this scene must be taken back to the Chenghuang Yamen and thrown directly into the reincarnation well. Even if it is a martial arts cultivator, when he does not have the permission of the City God, he can't look at it casually. Xiao Lie blocked the door of the firewood room and said to a few people in the room.

At this time, Zhao Haiquan called everyone to the window, pointed outside and said to these people, "Look, what is that ghost holding in his hand?"

Xiao Lie rubbed his eyes, tried to focus on the ghost cha's hand, and said in surprise: "Isn't that a ghost seal, how can it be in his hands? Moreover, it seems that he is going to place an enchantment in this crane city, could it really be that the crane city has made trouble with the goblin?"

"Who knows, if you want me to say let's rush out now to ask for clarification, he shouldn't blame us for our friendship with Lord Chenghuang. Xing Hao said.

"No, it's not a matter of friendship or friendship, but no one can be an exception to the rules of the capital city. Zhao Haiquan pressed Xing Hao's hands hard.

The five of them waited for the departure of these ghost pawns in this anxious atmosphere, and after less than an hour, there was not a single ghost pawn on the street, and Xiao Lie and a few of them came out of the firewood room. Walking outside, Xiao Lie immediately said to these people: "Senior Brother Yin and I will go to the Chenghuang Yamen to inquire about the situation first, and the three of you will go back to the house immediately to see if the people in the house are safe." The two of us will go back as soon as we finish investigating the news, and if there is anything, we will talk about it then. ”

The five men divided into three groups, and each of them went according to the plan. When Xiao Lie and Yin Xuesong came to the Chenghuang Yamen, they saw that it was much more deserted than usual, and explained their intention to the ghost guard who took the two to the lobby. After a while, the city god came out from behind the screen, asked the two of them to sit down beside him, and asked, "You two came to me so late, do you have anything to ask me for?"

Xiao Lie replied with a smile: "You really blame us this time, we really have nothing to ask your old man this time." To tell you the truth, the two of us had just returned from running errands in Oil City, and when we walked to the yamen, we vaguely saw that our city god soldiers seemed to be on a mission. Out of curiosity, I came here to inquire. ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just a normal mission. Lord Chenghuang said flatly.

"Lord Chenghuang, you can't lie to us about our friendship. I just saw that there was a Demon Bundle Bag hanging from the waist of each City God Soldier, instead of the Soul Bundle Bag that you usually use, and from this point alone, it is not a normal task that your old man said. Moreover, this ghost from the Hell Punishment Division has come here to transfer troops, I'm afraid things are not simple, right? Lord Chenghuang, you can tell us, how can we say that we can also be regarded as a place to ensure the safety of the people and assist the Chenghuang Yamen. If there are really any special circumstances, we should prepare early, or we can provide a little help to our Chenghuang Yamen. Xiao Lie said very sincerely.

Lord Chenghuang stared at Xiao Lie and Yin Xuesong for a long time, and finally shook his head: "It's all fate, and it really can't be avoided." ”

Xiao Lie didn't understand what he said and asked, "Lord Chenghuang, what you said is too profound, the two of us really didn't understand it." ”

"That's it!" the city god sighed and told them about the content of this mission: "This mission is indeed the same as you think, it is not an ordinary soul collection operation. Do you remember the gate next to the little barren mountain?"

The two nodded, and Yin Xuesong savored the memory and said, "How can this be forgotten, if it weren't for that incident, we wouldn't have known so many good brothers." ”

"This time it happened there, and I don't know what the reason is, so I opened it for no reason. Fortunately, the city god yamen of the capital city found out early, and controlled the ghost who wanted to flee outside in time. But it's just a moment of calm, this door is not closed, and the ghosts inside will always try their best to run out. The two groups of people fought several battles and injured each other. But in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, the ghosts didn't know what was wrong, and rushed to kill the city god soldiers like crazy. Because the attack was so sudden and violent, the city god soldiers were unable to parry for a while, and lost control of the small barren mountain at the cost of almost annihilating the entire army. Lord Chenghuang took a breath, and let the two of them digest what he said.

"After the Hell of Xudu knew about this, he immediately dispatched the ghost soldiers of the underworld, and attacked with all his strength several times before he took back control of the small barren mountain. However, during the time when they lost control, some of the ghosts ran out of the range of the small barren mountain, and the prefecture ordered that the city god yamen in various places should be assigned 5,000 troops to reinforce the search. As for what you said about Tsurujo, there is no crisis happening, so you can rest assured of that. Lord Chenghuang continued.

"Then why did you put an enchantment in Tsuru Castle? and none of us could see what it was for. Xiao Lie continued to ask.

Lord Chenghuang explained: "Hey, what's the fuss about, isn't it that five thousand ghost soldiers have been transferred from various places, this enchantment is used to isolate all evil spirits, the above is very thoughtful, and the safety of the place cannot be ignored, since the number of troops has been reduced, then the enchantment can only be temporarily managed." This enchantment can absorb all evil spirits, and if the enchantment can't absorb it, it will have to trouble the martial arts sects in various places to deal with it. ”

"After talking for a long time, you still want us to cooperate, then you still say that this is a trivial matter, if something really goes wrong, we don't know anything in our eyes, then it will be troublesome." Xiao Lie complained.

"Isn't this Zuo Tianming's marriage going to be held in three days, I don't want this matter to ruin your interest, I just want to wait for you to be busy, I'm calling you over, and I'm letting you bump into me today, it's definitely not that I want to deliberately hide anything." Lord Chenghuang explained with a smile.

Yin Xuesong, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said: "This is not right, when we entered the door just now, we clearly heard what kind of providence and calamity you said Lord Chenghuang, what does this mean?"
