The years when I opened a coffin shop in the world of Ninth Uncle

Chapter 203 Discussing Countermeasures
In the middle of a hazy sleep, Dahei, who was forcibly awakened, blinked his small eyes the size of mung beans, not knowing why.

Suddenly, it sensed the meaning of its master, and instantly woke up. The body that was thrown out suddenly accelerated again, rushing towards the black shadow.

And that figure was so fast that Zhong Kui couldn't react at all, and it was extremely uncomfortable to be stabbed in the throat by a sword.

In the dim environment, the black shadow and the big black quickly disappeared from the field of vision.

Zhenjun Zhong Kui resisted the sharp pain in his throat, strode out of the palace gate, and shouted loudly: "Who is who, who dares to assassinate me, where is the bull's head and horse's face?"

However, Wugui responded for a long time, and several errants and Zhang Bold stood aside, feeling Zhenjun's anger, not daring to speak.

Niutou Mamian was responsible for the security work of the underworld, but let assassins sneak in. Dead friends are not dead, and no one wants to get into trouble at this time.

Xu Ping stared intently at the direction in which the man in black disappeared. Judging from Dahei's feedback, his speed was really surprisingly fast, even Dahei couldn't catch up.

After a while, Dahei turned back, drooping his head, obviously returning in vain.

"Ow..."

It barked twice, then turned into a black light and returned to Xu Ping's arm.

Xu Ping's eyes moved slightly, black light flickered between his palms, Dahei quickly circled up, continued to wrap around his waist, and fell asleep beautifully.

Feeling the heavy feeling on his waist, Xu Ping had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Zhong Kui Zhenjun who was walking with a smile.

And Zhenjun Zhong Kui looked at Dahei who disappeared into the black light in astonishment, and couldn't help being surprised, because he didn't notice at all that there was something else on Xu Ping's body.

"Brother Xu, you really opened my eyes, but Zhenjun let you see the joke."

Seeing that Xu Ping had been present to witness the whole process, Zhong Kui rubbed his slightly uncomfortable throat, and had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being, and did not delve into it further.

Xu Ping didn't take it to heart either, but confirmed his guess even more. The calm and peaceful situation in Fengdu must be only superficial.

"Master Zhenjun doesn't need to see outsiders, but I am really amazed that Lord Zhenjun can resist the sharp sword with his fragile throat."

Xu Ping was a little surprised, this was not a street juggler, the bone sword was extremely sharp, and there was a cold fire attached to it, but looking at Zhong Kui who had been stabbed by the sword, there was no abnormality at all.

Zhong Kui laughed out loud, his beard twitched, and he looked quite proud, "I am practicing the art of eating ghosts. If I don't have a strong throat, how can I resist the evil spirit and resentment in the ghost's body?"

Good guy!
This is a unique skill to eat!
Xu Ping also had the method of devouring to increase his Taoism by means of tonic, but Xu Ping later found out that the recovery effect was good, but the progress of cultivation was too slow.

And the most important thing is that if you eat too much, when you go to eat delicious food, there will be no taste in your mouth.

Slowly, he abandoned it.

Thinking about it, Xu Ping suddenly said: "Since what Zhenjun said, then this assassin's understanding of Zhenjun is not comprehensive enough, at least not that familiar."

"Eh... makes sense."

Zhong Kui also reacted, and began to guess the identity of the man in black, "If you don't know me, how could you come to assassinate me..."

Xu Ping naturally didn't know, and remained silent.

"never mind!"

Zhong Kui waved his hand, invited Xu Ping and Song Qingling into the palace, and then shouted loudly, "You have seen the bull's head and the horse's face, let them come to see me immediately."

After speaking, he invited Xu Ping and Song Qingling into the palace.

At the same time, when two servants brought food and wine to the table, Xu Ping took a closer look and couldn't help being surprised.

"Ah this..."

What I saw on the table was a small ghost the size of a chicken, crispy on the outside and dripping with sesame oil.

Zhong Kui smiled when he saw this, and said, "Little Xu, come and taste it. This is a famous delicacy in the underworld. Fried little ghosts, wrapped in a layer of sesame oil, the taste..."

What's the difference between this and cannibalism... Xu Ping immediately became serious, and said, "Zhenjun, I don't have the blessing to suffer from you, you should enjoy it slowly."

Zhong Kui glanced at him, and said angrily, "Does this gentleman seem to be such a cruel person? These are all scooped up from the frying pan of the [-]th floor of hell, so feel free to eat boldly."

Xu Ping still shook his head, and said directly: "Judge Cui asked me to tell you something. He will take advantage of this time to deal with them in half a step. I want to ask you what plan you have?"

Xu Ping knew himself very well, he came to the underworld to be a thug.

Seeing that Xu Ping and Song Qingling were not interested in fried ghosts, Zhong Kui picked up fried ghosts with a smile and began to feast on them. At the same time, he said: "My master's plan is very simple, there is only one sentence, capture the thief first and capture the king."

"True Monarch means Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?" Xu Ping asked.

Zhong Kui nodded: "Since everything started because of him, I naturally have to give priority to solving him."

Xu Ping pondered for a long while, but still expressed his concerns, "Although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took advantage of this, it has no substantial effect on the current situation of the underworld. It is only a temporary solution rather than a root cause."

Zhong Kui was stunned for a moment, put down the fried ghosts he was holding in both hands, wiped his lips, and his beard was immediately stained with oil, "I don't know this gentleman, but now more and more people are dying in the world. You have nothing to do."

Xu Ping also fell silent when he heard this.

The current situation is indeed more difficult. The world of the sun and the world of the underworld are closely linked, and the fairy court is closed, so they can only try to save themselves.

Xu Ping pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something: "If we just let the ghosts in the underworld live in the underworld, wouldn't that be possible?"

People in the underworld's thoughts about reincarnation are all because of the addition of ingredients to Meng Po's soup.

Zhong Kui shook his head: "In that case, if you are not sure whether you will be reincarnated as a ghost of a wealthy family, wouldn't it mean that you will never go to the underworld again?"

The next life of every ghost is already predestined. This is the so-called yin virtue. Although a person who did evil in life will not remember what he has done after death, perhaps because of the different environment, he can be a good ghost. But he can't predict his next life.

Instead of this, it's better to settle down in the underworld, maybe another flower can bloom.

That must be what all ghosts think.

I really didn't expect that the underworld would start to worry because of too little land...

Xu Ping pondered for a long time, but he didn't think of a good solution, but Zhong Kui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a deep voice.

"actually……"

"There is another way."

Xu Ping hurriedly asked: "What method?"

Zhong Kui pondered for a long time, and then said: "You should have gone half a step, right?"

"Ah."

"That's more than half a step away, what did you find?"

Xu Ping said without hesitation: "Of course it is the fog. It is said that no ghost can come out after entering the fog."

Zhong Kui nodded, and began to gnaw on the fried ghost again, "Moreover, not only half a step, but also the same mist around Fengdu Underworld, so do you know where this mist comes from?"

"Appreciate further details."

Zhong Kui said: "Actually, it's the same as Banbuduo. This large fog is formed by dead ghosts. They gradually surrounded Banbuduo and Difengdu Difu."

Xu Ping said in astonishment: "Master Zhenjun, do you mean that as long as there are enough ghosts who die, it is very likely that the underworld will cease to exist?"

Zhong Kui nodded: "That's right."

At the same time, he continued: "But our underworld naturally cannot allow this kind of thing to happen, so in the mountains of our underworld, there is a formation hidden, which is eroded by the fog of the underworld."

"but……"

"It's just about maintaining the status quo."

Hearing what he said, Xu Ping instantly understood what he meant, "Master Zhenjun means that if the fog can be dispelled, a large amount of land can be regained?"

"Yes."

Since this is the case, doesn't that mean that as long as the mist can be continuously dispelled, Banbuduo and Fengdu's underworld can expand infinitely, and there will be no such conflicts in the future.

Those who did evil during their lifetime suffer in the [-]th hell, and then directly enter the animal realm after their deeds, while those who did good during their lifetime have one more choice.

If they don't want to reincarnate, they live in the underworld, and even gradually evolved a dynasty of the underworld, let them be officials and help the underworld to do management work.

Xu Ping frowned, and asked quickly, "What should I do?"

Zhong Kui casually wiped the oil stains from his hands on his body, and said, "Xiao Xu, don't be in a hurry. It's not that simple to accomplish this. If you want to make the place that has been eroded by the mist regenerate the earth, One more crucial thing is needed."

Xu Ping asked: "What?"

"Xi Rang!"

Zhong Kui said loudly, "I don't need to tell you how precious this thing is."

Xu Ping nodded.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Xi Rang is a divine object, but he has only heard of its appearance in the prehistoric times.

"Are there any in the underworld?"

Xu Ping remembered that in ancient times, the Houtu Empress of the Witch Clan used her body to embody the six realms of reincarnation, so there might be some in the underworld.

At this moment, Zhong Kui looked serious and said, "Of course there is, but..."

"The rest of the underworld is in the eighteenth floor of the underworld, and it is not in our hands now."

Now Xu Ping was at a loss, the underworld actually has breath soil, why is it not in the hands of the underworld, he looked at Zhong Kui curiously, and the latter finally explained.

It turns out that the underworld used to have a place of interest, but because it was a long time ago, at that time, there were too many evil spirits who were tortured in the eighteen levels of hell in the underworld.

So Xi Rang was sent to the [-]th Hell to expand the [-]th Hell to accommodate more evil spirits.

After Xi Rang was sent there, he also completed the expansion of the [-]th hell, but at this time, the fairy court sent a god who did many evils to be tortured forever in the [-]th hell.

But this evil god was too high-minded. Just in case, the underworld turned the soil into a quagmire to imprison him, trapping him in it forever.

He was subjected to various punishments in the eighteen levels of hell day and night.

That is, from that time on, Judge Lu Zhidao has been stationed in the [-]th floor of hell all year round, just in case.

"Then, as Zhenjun said, isn't there no solution?" Xu Ping felt that the hope that had just been ignited in his heart was instantly poured down by a basin of ice water.

Zhong Kui shook his head: "No, the Immortal Court said before that he should be imprisoned forever, tortured, and not allowed to die."

"but now……"

"I think it's time to kill this evil god and take out the breath soil again, so that after we get rid of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, we can achieve the new life in the underworld as Xiao Xu said."

"Actually, I have thought about what you said before, but because King Yama disagreed, and there were still great difficulties in doing it, so I didn't mention it later." Zhong Kui said suddenly.

Xu Ping answered, "But there is no better way."

Zhong Kui looked at Xu Ping, and said in a deep voice, "But because of your appearance, Xiao Xu, I think there is a turning point in this matter, and it's not impossible to succeed."

When Xu Ping heard this, he laughed immediately: "So, is Master Zhenjun going to say that this mission belongs to me?"

Zhong Kui froze for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Xiao Xu is really smart, or in other words, you know yourself very well."

As he spoke, he frowned tightly and said, "But this matter is very dangerous. If you don't want to go, I can understand."

"Besides, we don't have to do this."

Xu Ping thought over and over again, but said in a deep voice, "I'll go!"

"it is good!"

"I knew I was right."

Zhong Kui patted Xu Ping's shoulder, and said softly, "Actually, when something like this happened in the local government, the first thing I thought of was you. Do you know why?"

Xu Ping didn't make a joke this time, but shook his head.

Zhong Kui looked at Xu Ping with eyes full of energy, and said word by word: "That's because I know that you are the person who has the best chance to open the gate of the Immortal Court for thousands of years."

"Only those who can touch the gate of the Immortal Court will have the opportunity to bring Xi Rang out and get rid of that evil god, and us Yin gods, even this lord, cannot do this."

Xu Ping waved his hand, and hurriedly said: "Master Zhenjun, don't flatter me first, you have to tell me what dangers there are, so that I can be prepared."

Zhong Kui nodded, with a solemn face: "The first danger is the many evil spirits imprisoned in the eighteenth floor of hell. They do a lot of evil in life, and they can turn into ghosts after death. It is very difficult to deal with."

As soon as Xu Ping frowned, Zhong Kui immediately said: "Of course, Xiao Xu, you have my ghost hunting order, so it's basically not difficult to deal with them."

"But you are not a ghost after all. In the eighteenth floor of hell, the grievances accumulated for a long time have a great impact on you. You need to pay attention to this."

"In addition, the Evil God has spent such a long time, and I don't know if he has recovered some divine power. You must be cautious when facing him."

"And the biggest trouble is the soil..."
