There is a demon in the city

Chapter 122 Underworld Ghost Fish
After some words from Xiang Ji, the bison spared Xiao Zhi.

"If it weren't for Xiao Shou's sake, I would have killed you today. Why don't you thank Xiao Shou quickly!"

Xiao Zhi heard this and rolled up to Xiang Ji, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" and kowtowed three times.

"Thank you, Xiao Shou, for saving my life. Thank you, Xiao Shou, for saving my life."

Xiang Ji pulled Xiao Zhi up from the ground, patted his shoulder and said, "Young man! There is no one who doesn't make mistakes, as long as he can correct them."

Xiao Zhi looked at Xiang Ji affectionately, and when their eyes met, a burst of electricity shot out of Xiang Ji's eyes, and Xiao Zhi shuddered all over.

Xiang Ji raised his head and looked at the slightly bright sky. It was already past five o'clock in the morning, and there was already a ray of glow in the east.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go up the mountain quickly! Take a rest after you go up. The zodiac meeting will officially start at ten o'clock."

After saying that, an auspicious cloud appeared under Xiang Ji's feet, his whole body floated up, and disappeared in the clouds in the blink of an eye.

The bison saw that Xiang Ji had already reached the top of the mountain, so he didn't stay any longer and led Xiao Zhi away first.

"It seems that this zodiac meeting is not simple!"

Si Chen's keen intuition detected a hint of uneasiness, and he always felt that "big things" would happen at this zodiac meeting.

"Don't think about it so much for now, just make peace with it as it comes. We all have a good eye, just be careful in each group."

After Juedu finished speaking, he glanced at Zhan Shuang again and said, "After you go up there, you should talk less and watch more, and follow Chang Luo closely. Don't let anything happen to her."

Zhan Shuang put away his carefree look and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry! Master, nothing will happen to you as long as I am here."

After making arrangements, Chang Luo and his party headed towards the top of the mountain. After two hours of journey, they finally reached the top of the mountain.

There is an ancient temple on the top of the mountain with a gold plaque that reads: Fairy Mouse Temple.

There are two white jade cats standing on the left and right at the door, with eyes inlaid with sapphires and yellow croakers in their mouths. The yellow croakers are made of pure gold.

What's even more strange is that there is a thin thread in the mouth of the yellow croaker, which goes all the way up and extends to the roof. If you don't look carefully, you can't detect the thin thread at all.

"It's really strange, why is a thin wire connected to the yellow croaker? It can't move, so why bother."

Yanhua said and was about to reach out to touch the filament, but was hurriedly stopped by Si Chen.

"do not move."

Seeing Si Chen looking so nervous, Chang Luo and others felt very puzzled.In their opinion, Si Chen had never been so nervous before.

However, Si Chen's move only increased the curiosity of several people.

"It seems you know what this filament is for?"

Si Chen looked into Jue Du's eyes and nodded.

"Of course I know, I will never forget it in my life."

Seeing everyone's confused looks, Si Chen pointed at the yellow croaker in the jade cat's mouth.Said: "Don't you notice anything different about this fish?"

Zhan Shuang came closer and took a closer look, and indeed found a difference.

"Why does this fish have no eyes and gills?"

When several people heard this, they all came closer. It was exactly what Zhan Shuang said. The yellow croaker was integrated into one piece. The gills were not separated. There was only a mouth on the head and nothing else.

"Could it be that the carving master forgot to carve it?" Facing Yanhua's inquiry, Si Chen did not make any answer, and Juedu shook his head.

"Probably not. Look, even the grooves on the fish tail are so detailed, and the fish scales. I think it's not that I forgot to carve it, but that I didn't mean to carve it at all."

"Ouch! Stop being so pretentious and just tell me!"

Zhan Shuang couldn't wait anymore and was eager to know the answer. He was urging Si Chen to tell what he knew quickly.

“The reason why the fish in front of me is like this is because it doesn’t belong to this world at all.

You all know that there is a river in the underworld called Huangquan, and this fish is the ghost fish in Huangquan.They are all transformed by evil ghosts. They have done all kinds of evil things during their lifetimes, so they were originally unable to be reincarnated.

But God has the virtue of good life, so in order to punish them, the King of Hell turned them into ghost fish.

The ghost fish can speak human words and often seduce the recently deceased ghosts on the shore of the underworld. As long as it can find a substitute, it can regain the opportunity to be reincarnated as a human. "

"Then what's going on with this dangling thread?"

Chang Luo looked up along the filament and found that the connection of the filament was a beam.

"Ghost fish are evil things, greedy and fearless. Immortal gods are often ashamed of ghost fish, so they come to Xun Lake to catch "fish" in their daily pastimes."

"Follow the lake? Fishing?"

Si Chen saw that Chang Luo and others had never heard of this place name, so he explained: "Xunhu is a name in the world, and it can also be called Huangquan. It is located at the bottom of Mount Tai. Mount Tai seems to have no water or lake, but under Mount Tai But it suppresses the underworld that everyone fears.

As for fishing, of course the fish is ghost fish. "

"Oh!" Zhan Shuang nodded thoughtfully and said, "Is the immortal fishing for ghost fish to be eaten?"

"Of course not. This ghost fish is absolutely inedible. They are all transformed by evil spirits. If you eat the ghost fish, your immortal roots and bones will be scattered, or you will fall into the Abi Hell and never be reincarnated forever."

Si Chen spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and every word was particularly vivid.

Juedu closed his eyes slightly and his expression gradually became serious.

"Do you feel like Xiang Ji..."

Juedu didn't finish his words, but judging from Juedu's expression alone, things were by no means that simple.

Si Chen did not draw a conclusion because he was not sure what Jue Du said. He held his chin with his right hand and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Xiang Ji has begun to become a demon. No matter what decision he makes later, as long as we don't talk."

"What are you two talking about! Why can't I understand?"

Zhan Shuang tilted his head. Juedu and Sichen were thinking so fast that he couldn't keep up.My head is in a state of confusion, and I always want to get to the bottom of it.

Zhou Diandian heard some clues and asked, "Don't you think Xiang Ji ate this ghost fish?"

"Impossible, didn't Si Chen say that? At the least, the immortal roots and divine bones are scattered, and at the worst, he will never be reincarnated."

Before Si Chen could answer, Zhan Shuang on the side spoke first.

"But don't forget, Xiang Ji is not an immortal god at all, he is only a half-immortal at best. In his body, there are far more demon elements than immortal roots and divine bones."

"Juedu is right. Ghost fish can only affect immortals. For a "half-immortal" like Xiang Ji, not only can it not cause harm to him, but it will help him improve his cultivation."

Si Chen didn't want to face this result, but the facts were right in front of him. Judging from Xiang Ji's words and deeds, he probably ate ghost fish.As for why Xiang Ji eats ghost fish, this question can only be explained by Xiang Ji himself.
