red man

Chapter 254 Xiyi Bird, Qin Guangcheng

It was the same size as Fucheng and Zhoucheng in the Yang Dynasty, and the branch of Huangquan turned into a moat, and the ghost soldiers who came and went were also divided into generals and soldiers, and the soldiers would shout five and six, showing off their might among the ghosts.

In addition, there are also exchanges between the ghost people, all kinds of transactions are available, food, clothing, housing, transportation, rations for vehicles and horses, as long as they can think of, they seem to have it.

And it is even more diverse than Yangshi.

It's just that most of the carriages and horses are made of paper, with strange shapes and characteristics.

All kinds of scenes reminded Wei Hao of Kaihui at night, the general who held the lantern, and he didn't know what he was doing now.

"Walk."

Although at first glance, they are all ghosts and ghosts, Wei Hao is not afraid at all, and the "turning back" behind him has disappeared, and the seal of "inspecting Simin City God Xian Youbo" on his body has changed, no longer What a humble and unpretentious stone, but an extremely delicately carved sapphire.

Wei Hao's appearance directly caused commotion, a large number of ghost soldiers in the city rushed to tell each other, and countless ghost generals were dumbfounded.

In the moat, fierce ghosts screamed wildly; the sky was cloudy, and greedy vultures were circling.

Blazing blood, in the underworld, is simply the most delicious delicacy.

What's more, Wei Hao is more famous for raising people, and the fragrance of ink and books makes many undead spirits with low intelligence very excited. This is an excellent way to increase their wisdom.

After eating Wei Hao, a big living person, he can do it!

"Stop—"

The huge city gate hole is like a skull, and when the skull's mouth is opened, the city gate hole is completely opened.

A Yaksha with two wings on his back, holding a hammer in his hand, flew in front of Wei Hao covered in armor, and shouted loudly: "Where did you come from, a mortal, dare to trespass in the underworld—"

"I am Wei Hao, a Juren from Wufeng County, Beiyang Prefecture, Daxia Dynasty. This time I came here only for an unjust case! I don't know which king is in charge of life and death, please inform me."

Wei Hao clasped his fists and bowed, saluting.

That Yasha was shocked immediately: "You trespassed in the underworld, not to mention begging for mercy and returning to the sun, but you still dare to ask to see the king?!"

"There are grievances in the world, please accommodate!"

"presumptuous!"

Picking up the iron hammer, Yasha was furious, "Left and right, take down this mortal who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and walk on the 'Evil Mirror Platform' once! I will punish you later!"

"slow!"

Wei Hao raised his hand to interrupt, his eyes wide open, "Wei doesn't want to argue with you all, and I came to the underworld to avenge grievances. This captain, please enlighten me!"

"You have grievances, you should tell the local city god, how can you trespass in the underworld! Besides, what do you do in the underworld if you have grievances in the yang world! As a Daxia Juren, you don't go to the yangshi Yousi to complain, but come to the underworld to visit, you read Is it on the dog?"

"Taiwei! The grievance here involves 7 innocent people, and the city god of the place where Wei stayed has died. Such a major event is no longer..."

"what?!"

Yasha with wings on his back suddenly changed his face, his wings shrank directly, and after landing on the ground, he stared at Wei Hao with complicated eyes, and then whispered: "Go back, go back."

"Taiwei! It's not that Wei doesn't know that Lord Yan is involved in this matter, and it's not that he doesn't know that there are powerful people with immortal ranks involved in it. However, good and evil, right and wrong, someone has to come out to discuss. Although Wei is alone , but this underworld is about to break through!"

"Stupid! Keep it useful, and when you become famous in the world, come to the underworld again. Why don't you worry about being unimpeded? You are a small person, and I am afraid that if you are fried in a frying pan, you will be completely gone..."

Hearing what Yasha said, Wei Hao immediately understood that the Yasha in front of him didn't want to take his life for nothing.

But this trip cannot be delayed.

Wei Hao solemnly said: "One day in the world, one year in the underworld. Wei participated in the 'Chunwei' this year, and even if he was lucky enough to be awarded the title, it would take dozens of days. Several years, at most decades. Wouldn't the [-] dead ghosts want to wander in the underworld for hundreds of thousands of years?!"

"..."

Even if what Wei Hao said was right, Yasha was helpless. After being silent for a while, it said to Wei Hao, "You should go quickly, how did you come here, and how did you go back. Wait until there are ghost generals coming, I will tell you."

"Forgive me for not following my orders!"

"Confused!"

Yasha was furious, "People have to bow their heads under the eaves, you scholar, don't you know this truth?"

"Since a certain dare to come, he has already made up his mind, if he can't go back, then he won't go back!"

After finishing speaking, Wei Hao stretched out his hand, holding the ancestral sword in his hand, and opened his eyes wide: "Wei has one more thing to do on this trip. Apart from redressing grievances, we also need to ask which foolish official is who helped to commit such a heinous crime. If you don't hit it, you will be out of your wits, and I'm sorry for the city gods who speak out!"

"..."

Yasha was moved at that time. Decades ago, there was indeed a battle in the underworld, but these decades are just the decades of ordinary ghosts. For ghosts like it, in fact, dozens of days have passed .

"If you really dare to break in, you must know that this underworld is no better than other places..."

"Wei Mou will fully bear the consequences of this trip."

These words are nothing in the yang world, but in the underworld, they turned into a mass of heavy air, fell to the ground, and made a tinkling sound.

Loud.

At that moment Yaksha put away the iron hammer, clasped his fists and said, "You don't have to wait, I'll report."

"Thank you Taiwei for accommodating."

Wei Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and watched Yasha flutter his wings and leave.

Not long after, the unknown ghost soldiers surrounded from all directions, the big ghosts were like mountains, and the little ghosts were like forests, densely packed endlessly.

In the already bustling moat, there were ghosts rushing along like pedestrians, densely packed, forming a long queue.

In the river, there were boats coming and going from time to time, and the ghosts grabbed the side of the boat one after another, screaming and threatening at Wei Hao.

And the undead on the ship, dressed as living people, probably still kept their appearance when they were alive, and they all looked at Wei Hao in a daze.

Obviously, it was extremely abrupt for a living person like Wei Hao to stand in the underworld.

"Stop making noise, all go back to the cabin—"

The ferrymen shouted one by one. They were wearing coir raincoats, bamboo hats, and masks on their faces. Only a pair of eyes were exposed, and they didn't know what they were.

After yelling, almost all the ferrymen turned their heads to look at Wei Hao. Some looked surprised, while others looked astonished, as if they knew Wei Hao.

And Wei Hao remained motionless, just stood there holding the knife, no matter how many ghosts approached, he just pretended not to see them.

"Hehehehe, I actually saw a living person in the underworld. What is the name of this brother, and where is his hometown?"

There was a female ghost in revealing clothes, posing and approaching Wei Hao.

However, within three feet of Wei Hao, she suddenly screamed and disappeared instantly.

Wei Hao didn't do anything, but a slight "martyr's arrogance" burned her up on the spot.

But soon, the female ghost regrouped in a panic, but at this time, she couldn't speak no matter how she opened her mouth.

I saw her mouth moving, opening and closing, but there was no sound at all.

There is no sound of footsteps when walking, no friction of clothes, whether it is clapping or stomping, it is completely silent.

quack quack...

Suddenly, there was a crowing sound.

Wei Hao looked up, and saw a crow appearing. Hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers and generals around him gave way one after another. Then, the crow swooped down and took the female ghost away without waiting for her reaction.

Seeing this scene, Wei Hao was shocked: What kind of bird is this, it has such power.

There were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses around, none of them dared to stop them.

Even Wei Hao felt that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses around him were very afraid of this crow.

"What kind of bird is that..."

Gouzi was also dumbfounded, very shocked.

"The crow in the underworld is said to be a kind of auspicious bird. I thought it was just a legend, but now it seems that there really is such a rare bird."

Yan Xuanxin, who is also a bird, whispered, "Grand Elephant, I heard that the crow in the underworld is called the 'Xiyi Bird', and it is the 'incarnation of national destiny' of a country."

"The incarnation of national destiny?!"

Wei Hao frowned slightly, "Isn't it only the dynasties of the human race that can form the incarnation of the national destiny?"

"I don't know about that, but there is indeed such a saying in our family's legend."

"Well……"

Wei Hao remembered one thing, that is, he also heard a crow cry in the Town God's Temple in Wutan County.

If this is the case, then this crow is not simple, and definitely not only able to move in the underworld.

Of course, it might just be an ordinary crow in the world, just passing by and calling twice.

On the top of the city, many gorgeously dressed ghosts and their servants were there to watch the fun. Wei Hao listened carefully, and soon heard some of the high-class ghosts waiting in line to reincarnate to show off to the left and right: "That bitch also I don't know where the guts come from, who dares to venture into the underworld alone, which one is not supernatural? I don't think this is easy."

"She was really fascinated, and she still wanted to suck Yang Qi. It turned out that she died and became a 'Xi'."

"If you want to become a ghost again, it will be difficult."

"That person is like a furnace within three feet. He has no morals, so if he goes there, he will give it away for nothing."

……

Hearing what these ghosts said, Wei Hao was taken aback: Hey?
He suddenly remembered some legends. It is said that people become ghosts after death, but ghosts are not just the way of souls flying away.

After the ghost dies, it becomes 魙, after the death of 魙 it becomes Xi, after Xi dies it becomes Yi, after Yi dies it becomes Wei, after Wei dies it becomes invisible...

He had also heard of these legends, and Wang Fubo, Qin Duolu and other yin and yang celebrities only said that they had heard of them, but they had no way to verify them.

Now it seems that this statement should be known and recognized by many people.

It's just that I haven't seen it in person, even the ghosts at the top of the city, they don't say it with certainty, but show off their knowledge based on legends.

Wei Hao frowned slightly, thinking that if this was true, it would be a good thing, at least, the City God who sacrificed his name would still have a chance to get it back.

But after all, this is just a saying, and it cannot be confirmed.

"Gentleman, if the people in the underworld want to drive us away, what will we do then?"

"beat."

"okay!"

When Gouzi heard Wei Hao's answer, he felt no nervousness at all. The words of his own gentleman meant that he had completely cut off the way back. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

Wei Hao didn't see Yasha turning around, so he simply sat cross-legged, and began to sense the Yin energy around him, instead of waiting, it's better to practice along the way.

If he returns to the underworld in the future, he will be able to adapt more easily.

But at this time, in a yamen in the city, Yasha hurriedly reported, and the red-robed official in the second hall saw this, and immediately shouted: "You don't fly to the sky to patrol, what are you doing here!"

"Master, let me tell you that a living person broke into the underworld, just outside the city!"

"what?!"

The red-robed official was startled, "The earthquake just now, could it be related to this person?"

"Ah?! Master, I think he is alone. Although he looks a little strong, he doesn't look like someone who can turn the world upside down."

"Others have boundless magic power, how can you peep."

Yasha suddenly smiled bitterly: "Master, he is a mortal body, just now I advised him how to come and go back."

"Did he give his name?"

The red-robed official was holding a book in one hand, dipping a pen in ink in the other, and was about to write, but Yasha replied, "He claims to be a Juren from the Great Xia Dynasty, from Wufeng County, Beiyang Prefecture, and his surname is Wei Minghao."

It's sizzling! !
The official shook his hand, and the writing brush poked a black hole in the booklet.

"Ah?! Wufeng Weihao?!"

"Uh...that's what he said."

"It's a disaster. This is a peerless murderer. If he breaks into the underworld, he must be trying to give justice to others. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's because of those [-] unjust dead ghosts."

"Ah?! Master, master! What is this man's background!"

Yasha was startled immediately, "My lord, why don't you go and report to the king and let the king decide."

"No, no, no, no, don't disturb the king at this time, this matter should lead to disaster..."

The red-robed official thought about it, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "We are Qin Guangcheng, and we are in charge of suicide ghosts. Then Wei Hao found the wrong yamen. Seventy-two thousand unjust dead ghosts, you should go... you should go..."

"Go to Song City!"

Yasha hurriedly reminded, "Master, the crime of arbitrarily changing feng shui and hindering the funeral is not the work of the king of hell in the third hall? So, it is also appropriate for the emperor of song to come forward to entertain and question..."

"Ah yes yes yes!!"

Nodding repeatedly, he quickly put down the pen and paper, put down the official hat, picked up the square crown and put it on, and straightened his clothes in front of the mirror. Seeing that the red official robe was too conspicuous in the mirror, he quickly took it off again and put on a splendid one. Regular clothes.

"Let's go, let's go quickly, we must not be involved in this matter. This Wei Hao is a peerless murderer. In the past few days, I have hooked up with the life and death of the earth immortal. My God, if this is accumulated and reported, the heavens will know , I'm afraid it will be extremely lively."

"Master, you are a judge, what are you afraid of?"

"If it's an ordinary scholar, how can I care about it. But this Wei Hao is not easy to mess with."

The judge let out a long sigh, "Besides, some of our judges owe him favors. If he hadn't cleaned up many evil spirits in the world, this crime of dereliction of duty would have made people lose their hats."

"..."

Hearing what the magistrate said, Yasha also had lingering fears in his heart. He thought that he had saved his kind thoughts just now, and didn't want to eat his arms and chew his legs. Otherwise, wouldn't he be beaten out of his wits by that Wei Hao on the spot?

However, just as he was about to go out, he heard the beast ring on the gate say: "The 'Xi Yi Bird' came just now, and took away a 'Xi'."

"what?!"

The judge suddenly exclaimed, "We are Qin Guangcheng here, and it's a big deal if there are cockroaches, how could there be Xi!"

"There was a female ghost, who was supposed to be the commander of ghosts patrolling the city, and wanted to seduce the living people from the mortal world. As a result, within three feet, two people died instantly."

"..."

After two deaths, he immediately turned into Chi, and then immediately turned into Xi.

Everything happened so fast that one would suddenly think that it had directly turned into Xi.

Yaksha's legs went limp, and he almost knelt on the ground. He still had the strength to hold the iron hammer, but he was really scared for a while at this scene.

"Master! What kind of demon king is this..."

"How do I know, how do I know..."

The judge bite the bullet and was also anxious in his heart: at this time, you can't disturb the king, now a city in the underworld is a prince, and a peak is a mountain top, if the head rises, it may harm the king.

Gritting his teeth, the judge solemnly said: "Let's go, promise him some benefits, give him a map, order some soldiers and horses as guides, and lead him to the city of Emperor Song."

"Master is wise, master is wise..."

Yasha kept flattering him, so Wei Hao, a plague god, should be sent away early.

They, Qin Guangcheng, have always been peaceful, aloof from the world, and earn a living.

Let's forget about the struggle for power and profit in the underworld.

It's just that Yasha thought maliciously in his heart: At the beginning, a dozen city gods spoke up for justice, but in the end they were lost in the underworld, and their souls were scattered. It must have ended badly. If Wei Hao was violent, let him go to Yan Luo City to make a fuss.

But it's definitely not okay to do it directly.

Lead to the Sanyan King first, presumably the Sandian Hades will find a way to send Wei Hao away as long as he is not insane.

If there is a commotion, the Five Kings of Hades will take over after all. Who is called this hell, and now they have to choose a mansion.

Changed carriages, didn't dare to fly, and went out of the city honestly. At this time, the idle ghosts in the surrounding fields also came to watch the fun.

These ghost people are much more plainly dressed, all of them are barefoot and shirtless, and those with short shirts and sacks are already able to cover their bodies.

Most of them are naked, or use dry grass as their shirts.

Wei Hao closed his eyes tightly, and also found that this city in the underworld is more like a country of its own, and the ghost people in the four fields should also be under its governance.

From this point of view, there is quite a feeling of national control.

The ghost people in the city are "nationals", and most of them have the obligation to support ghost soldiers and generals, but they are also protected. Some of them seem to become ghost generals and commanders, inspectors, brigade commanders, captains, etc.

Wei Hao felt that there were horses and chariots approaching. He opened his eyes and saw that the Tongtian Palace in the distance was still as majestic, but there was a slight change, that is, the eyes in the sky were slightly dimmed.

Just as he was about to continue observing, he saw the chariots and horses approaching. Yasha stood respectfully aside, waiting for one of them to get off the chariot.

The man was dressed in brocade, with a square crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist, while holding a pen in his hand.

"I am one of the life and death judges of Qin Guangcheng. I am very honored to hear that Duke Wei is here..."

Holding the pen in his hand, the judge actually saluted Wei Hao directly, very politely.

Seeing this, Wei Hao frowned slightly. He guessed a possibility, so he said, "Where do you want to lead me?"

"Oh, it's Emperor Song..."

The judge was slippery and answered Wei Hao's question.

"..."

"..."

Looking at Wei Hao, the judge looked embarrassed, and smiled wryly: "Wei Gong, my king is not in the underworld, he went out to practice. It's not that I'm hiding it."

"It's okay."

Wei Hao bowed and saluted, and then said sincerely, "It's not impossible for Wei to go elsewhere, but there is one thing that I hope the judge will tell you."

"I can't help you with things outside of my duties..."

Hearing that Wei Hao wanted to inquire about something, the judge was so frightened that his face turned blood red, as if he was about to come back to life.

Seeing this, Wei Hao smiled and said, "I just want to know how those seventy-two thousand dead ghosts got to the underworld, where they went, and how they were sentenced."

"This……"

Hearing this kind of question, the judge immediately hesitated, he could say it, but he was afraid that it would not be good.

"Also ask the judge to give advice!"

"I don't dare to call you a big judge!" The judge waved his hands again and again, gritted his teeth, and said solemnly, "This matter involves many yamen, and more than a dozen judges have handled it. There are three or four thousand dead ghosts, but they are actually arranged here. They went where they went, but stayed in the middle of nowhere, and dared not send them to be reincarnated for a long time..."

After deliberating for a while, the judge tried his best to let Wei Hao comprehend it by himself.

As soon as Wei Hao heard the judge's tone, he knew that it was inconvenient for the judge to say it directly, so he could only hint and remind him frantically.
