Chapter 167 Returning to Youcheng

You City was originally a city with three entrances and three exits, and there were three city walls inside. Lu's City Lord's Mansion was at the center of the innermost city wall.

Later, something happened to Lu's family, and the successor Youcheng City Lord moved the City Lord's Mansion to another place, and expanded You City with the new City Lord's Mansion, and built a new city wall.

The last time I went was the old site, which was already deserted, so naturally there would not be such a process of queuing up for identity verification.

I waited patiently in the Yin Ling, and felt strange at the same time.All the ghosts of Youcheng will have a sign of Youcheng on their body.With this sign, they can enter and exit Youcheng freely.

And if the ghosts outside want to enter Youcheng, they must register their identity and pay the entry fee to change to the sign.After entering the city, no matter what you do, you need that brand, just like an ID card in the world.

But I remember that this procedure was carried out on the two big stones at the gate of the first city.

At that time, the foreign ghosts only need to throw the paper with their identity into the pool in front of the stone.

After the paper is submerged in the water, after verifying that there is no problem with the identity, and then paying a certain amount of Ming coins as the entry fee, a sign will appear in the pool.Yinling can leave after taking the sign.

There will also be Yin soldiers guarding and patrolling the gates of the city, and there are also Yin spirits who supervise this.If you encounter someone who can't write, the on-duty clerk can also help write the name.

But now that 2000 has passed, the technology of my Dayou City has not only not improved, but also lagged behind!Actually changed from the original fully automatic to manual operation!

The foreign ghosts wrote their names and gave them to the person guarding the door, and the ghosts there carved their names on a black stone.Pay with one hand and sign with the other.

The city wall of You City is extremely tall, and on the large stones at both ends of the city gate, there are two black bone-eroded koi carvings.

The koi has a bloody mouth, and the fangs are shining coldly.But there was a Qiankun bag in his mouth, which was the place where the ID card was originally spit out.

I led the horse and followed the team up, and I took a special look at the Qiankun bag contained by the two bone-corroded koi. The water in it was still as clear as it was 2000 years ago.

This means that you can still use the original method to pay the city fee!

I don't know how the Lord of Youcheng is doing it now, leaving the high technology unused, and insisting on manual operation like other cities, which has lowered the compulsion of my Youcheng!

I couldn't help complaining in my heart many times, and finally it was my turn.

"Name." Yin Cha said to me without raising his head.

angry!I need to register when I go back to my home!Do you know that the whole city believed in me back then!

I took out the night card from the Qiankun bag and threw it on the table in front of him. When the impatient errand with his head down saw this, the whole ghost jumped out of the chair.

"Ye, the master of the Ye family?" He looked at me in shock, and still couldn't believe it.

I snorted coldly: "Get out of the way, I have to go to the city to handle business."

"Yes...but...my lord, can you register?" The errand reminded nervously.

I glanced at the Qiankun bag he put aside, where all the entrance fees paid by other ghosts were there.

He noticed the look in my eyes and gave me a flattering smile: "My lord, you have a high status, you just need to register your name. I dare not charge you for the entry fee."

This is the benefit of manual operation.

Unlike the two money-greedy fish at the door, except for big bosses like Ye Chen who dare not mess with them, the rest of the ghosts, if anyone enters the city without paying, the bone-corroding koi will immediately turn from a stone to a ghost. The living creature swallowed that ghost in one gulp, and didn't stop until all the ghost coins on his body were found.

By the way, why didn't the ghost in front go through the city gate guarded by the two fish, but walked through the newly opened city gate?
"I came out after retreating for a long time. Excuse me, why don't they go there?" I asked, pointing to the door where the two koi were.

Those who can retreat and cultivate are all powerful ghosts with good skills, and the errand was even more in awe of me all of a sudden: "Your Excellency does not know, those two stone sculptures are alive. If you have the pass issued by Lu's family before, you can go there , and there is no need to register with the little one here. If not, the adults should write a name for the little one, and go through the other door."

Those two bone-eroded koi are also treasures, and I often fed them bones when I was a child.I don't know if I am reincarnated now, they still recognize me.

After thinking about it, I walked there.After all, there will be a sign before the bone-corroding koi attack. Even if they don't recognize me, as long as I withdraw in time, I won't be swallowed.

I put away the night card on the table and walked forward, the servant thought I had a waist card, so he didn't stop me.

The closer I got, the more I could feel the chilly aura emanating from the two bone-corroding koi.

The bones that I fed them when I was young were all found from extremely dark places, including human bones.

I was born as a ghost back then, and I was young, so I didn't feel anything.Now, thinking about it, it also makes me skinny.

Fortunately, none of the bones I found had the original owner's soul lodged on them.Although the bones are gloomy and cold, there is no resentment and ghosts to die in vain.

The cold aura was originally hostile to me, but as I approached, the aura gradually became distant, as if it was testing me.

There is a play!

I was delighted in my heart, and deliberately slowed down.The breath seemed to be unable to wait any longer, and it actually pushed my body to urge me forward.

I knew it wasn't for nothing that I got scolded after sneaking out to pick up bones with my father behind my back all those years!
Excited in his heart, he quickly stepped on one of the stones, and a red light flashed on the black stone carving. The fang-covered mouth of the bone-corroding koi opened wider, and swallowed the pool of water in the shape of a universe bag. Pounce on me.

The bloody mouth dangled in front of my eyes, and I didn't even have time to escape.I was lamenting in my heart that I had fed them both for nothing, when I felt a weight on my body, and the bone-corroding koi hit me directly.

I took a step back from being hit by it, the koi carp with perverted appearance landed on the ground and kept patting its tail, staring at me with a pair of dead fish eyes, even flashing with excitement.

Another bone-corroded koi also faded from petrification, and a carp jumped up and landed on the open space at my feet, slapping its tail with the original one to show its cuteness.

The two of them have guarded the gate of the city for tens of thousands of years. They have never missed it by swallowing ghosts and searching for wealth. Now they must have recognized me.

I breathed a sigh of relief, happily stroked the beards of the two of them, and stretched out my hands to tug as I did when I was a child.

In an instant, the two bone-corroded koi lying flat on the ground and slapping their tails stood up abruptly, and opened their bloody mouths at me again.

I am not afraid this time.

They stood upright in front of me, and the Qiankun bag that had been swallowed slowly rose from its mouth.Inside is no longer a puddle of clear water, but countless ghost coins.

These ghost coins are the entry fees for entering Youcheng over the years.

When I was young, I wanted to go shopping but had no money, so I used this method to raise money.My dad also knew, but it was all my family's money anyway, so he just turned a blind eye.

I noticed the inquisitive eyes of the ghosts watching on the sidelines, fearing that they would see the money, I hurriedly pulled the long beard in my hand, and let the bone-corroding koi swallow the Qiankun bag again.

I have been playing with these two notorious koi here for a long time, and the Yin spirits on the side have already noticed me.

The errand who had originally registered my name came up to me again, "My lord...I didn't expect you to be so familiar with these two fish..."

"It's okay, okay." I smiled at him, and at the same time, I tried my best to hold the two beards of the koi that wanted to swallow him.

At the same time, I realized that although this ghost is the underworld of Youcheng, he doesn't have the badge issued by Lu's family.

Although the bone-corroding koi is powerful, it also has a disadvantage, that is, it can only guard this one city gate.Now they have opened another city gate next to it, so these two stupid fish can't control it.

By the way, I know why they opened another door!
Only my father and I can take out the ghost coin in the belly of the bone-corroding koi!The new city lord must have given up on this city gate because he didn't know how to charge the entrance fee!

You must know that Youcheng is the economic center of the underworld, and all the big transactions in the underworld were originally completed here.

The underworld has many specialties that are not available in other interfaces, so things from the underworld are very popular among monks in all interfaces.

But the underworld has always been a mysterious place to other monks.Even if they have a need, firstly, they dare not venture into the underworld, and secondly, they don't know the exact location of that thing.

The only place that allows them to find the underworld items they need in the shortest time is Youcheng!

Therefore, the cost of entering Youcheng is very high.After one year, the entrance fee alone is enough for a low-level monk to spend for several years!

The new city lord must have searched the city lord's mansion but could not find a way to withdraw money. There was a protective formation next to the two salted fish, and he had no choice but to open the new city gate.

I hugged the two fish hard, laughing like crazy in my heart.

I don't know how many treasures are hidden in the stomachs of these two fishes!Get rich, get rich!Maybe I can be richer than Ye Chen right now!Go back and take care of him!
I was so proud of myself, and after letting the two fish return to their respective posts, with a smile that I couldn't hide, I led the horse and walked in through the old city gate.

This city gate is not completely abandoned, and many people who have received identity badges during my father's tenure pass through this gate.

Therefore, apart from the surprise of the ghosts outside the city, the ghosts inside just cast envious and admiring eyes when they saw me go in, and didn't think much about it.

Except for the original yin spirits in Youcheng, the rest of the yin spirits are not low in cultivation.I hung the night card on my belt, so as not to cause any trouble to me.

All the way to the city lord's mansion, I looked at the tower with flying beams and painted buildings, and my tears were slightly moist.

This new city lord's mansion was built according to the original appearance of Lu's house.

I was suddenly a little curious about the new city lord.

Although many ghosts knew that Lu's family was innocent, they were not vindicated in the open.

But at that time, all the ghosts wanted to separate from Lu's house, so how dare he build his new house in imitation of the old one?
I stayed at the door for quite a while, and the guard of the City Lord's Mansion couldn't bear it anymore, and came forward: "My lord, what can I do for you?"

"I want to see your city master." I glanced at the night badge on my belt and said.

The guard stretched out his hand respectfully: "Then please show the night card to the younger one, and after the inspection is correct, you can go in."

I didn't make things difficult for him, so I took off the sign and handed it to him.He checked it and returned it with both hands: "My lord has offended you, please come inside."

He made a gesture of invitation, and I followed him all the way into the reception hall.

The guards retreated, and soon a servant girl came in to serve tea.This maid was still wearing the scary clothes of Lu's family, which made me think that I was back when my father was still alive.

This tea is the dew of resentment on the Yin Mountain. The Yin Mountain is at the bottom of the No.18 hell. The hell is full of resentment, and the Yin Mountain is even stronger.

Yinshan is an inverted pyramid-like structure, with no trees on it, only extremely sharp long needles that can penetrate a person from head to toe.

Only those who are extremely vicious and sinful and have not yet repented will be nailed to it to receive punishment.

The long needles on it are all made of high-quality materials, and when the thick resentment adheres to it, it will turn into water mist, warming the Yin Mountain.

If things go on like this, dense leaves will grow on the long needles.But there are not many of them, and they will only be available on the day of the Cold Food Festival.

After those leaves are picked by powerful ghosts, they can be used as tea leaves after special treatment.Although the effect is not as good as the resentment fruit, if there is a ghost cultivating and becoming obsessed, drinking a sip of resentment dew tea can save his life.

Such a precious tea, I only saw Ye Chen take it out to entertain them when Pluto's family came.

Now, I get this tea as soon as I come...

Could it be that person discovered my identity?

I was startled, and hurriedly called out to the little girl who was about to retreat: "Wait! Where's your city lord?"

The servant girl made a standard blessing for me, and said respectfully: "The city lord is not here, please do what you want, miss."

I thought it was funny: "Your city lord is not here, how can I do it myself?"

"The city lord said, please treat this place as your own home." The maid said respectfully and politely.

I was startled, and stood up subconsciously: "Who is your city master!"

The servant girl gave an embarrassed smile: "I don't want to hide it from the eldest lady, and the servant girl doesn't know."

I don't believe it: "You are wearing the clothes of the big maid in the mansion, how could you not know!"

"Back to Miss, although this servant is a big maid, she has never met the city lord." The servant girl replied respectfully.

I was taken aback: "Then who is in charge of your Youcheng now?"

"Master Xing is in charge."

I carefully searched for the ghost names in my mind, and asked, "Does Xingbo know?"

The maid nodded: "Yes."

Xing Boxiao is amazing!While being his full-time nanny, he is still managing accounts for Youcheng here!

"I want to see him!" I have to talk to Xing Boxiao before Ye Chen and the others come over.

Unexpectedly, the maid looked at me very apologetically: "Miss, Boss Xing only reconciles accounts in Youcheng every other month. He just left after the reconciliation yesterday... If you see him, will you send me a slave? Ghost to invite him?"

"No need..." Ye Chen will definitely find out if he sends out ghosts.

I pressed my temples in distress: "Who is in charge of the affairs of Youcheng?"

"The city lord selects a few elders according to the old system, and the elders are usually in charge of the affairs. Boss Xing comes to reconcile the accounts every other month, and conducts random checks during the period. If anyone is found to have made false accounts, he will be severely punished!"

Ye Chen mentioned something about Xing Boxiao to me, saying that the fun of this guy's ghost life is not only to be a fan of Leng Mohan, but also to make money.

He used to be a general next to Leng Mohan, similar to Xuedizi, and he was respectfully called Master Xing at that time.Later, he quit his job and focused on making money.

He is responsible for the purchases in the underworld, and besides that, he is the one who opened the Biluohuangquan inns all over the three thousand worlds.

Therefore, people or ghosts who know him now respectfully call him Boss Xing.

The elder system was originally proposed by my father. Although he is the lord of the city, it is impossible for him to do everything by himself, so he established five elders.

The elders of the pavilion are in charge of different aspects and at the same time contain each other, which will not cause the city lord to be emptied.

The elders who lived when my father was there have either died or disappeared in the past 2000 years.I don't even know the current elders, so it's useless to see them.

After taking a sip of tea, the maid lowered her head and said: "Miss, your room is still furnished as before. Go and see if there is anything missing? If there is anything missing, I will let the ghost fill it up!"

my room?

I couldn't pretend anymore, and I was going to have a look, but I was afraid that it was a trap, so I sat on the seat with the throbbing in my heart.

After looking at the slightly familiar girl, I had a guess in my mind: "What's your name?"

"The slave girl, Bilian, is the personal servant girl prepared by the city lord for the eldest lady."

really!

This city lord knows everything about You City!Even my close girl can know her name!

This girl is not Bilian, I can tell!Bilian is a girl with a quick mind, but this girl is very honest.

Is it just that her face is slightly similar to Bilian, so she was chosen?

"Why do you think I'm your eldest lady?" I asked again.

"The city lord has ordered that if one day a girl comes in through the old city gate and plays with the two bone-corrupted koi at the gate, she will be our eldest lady!"

I am stupid!
Bone-corroding koi are notoriously vicious beasts, I dare to play with them, it is simply revealing my identity!
I'm afraid the City Lord's Mansion already has spies guarding the gate of the city.

I'm not hypocritical anymore, I took away the right hand that was holding the ring finger of my left hand, and saw the ring finger shaking crazily, just like having Parkinson's.

Ye Chen doesn't know how to slow down the frequency of the marriage line, isn't he afraid that my finger will be broken?
I responded to him, there was a pause, and after a reply came, it finally fell silent.

After passing the coordinates to him, I boldly started to say: "Then I am your eldest lady, do you know my name?"

"The slave does not know."

"Then go and inform your city lord, just say that Miss Ben is back, when is he going to abdicate and return You City to me!"

That girl's face changed drastically, probably because she never expected that I would say such a thing.

But in the end it was the girl who had been carefully trained. After being surprised, she bowed her head and retreated respectfully.

After a while, she came back: "Miss, the slaves have already gone to inform the elders. Only they can see the city lord."

No matter how powerful Ge Lao is, he is no more powerful than the city lord, and I don't care.After drinking the last drop of resentment dew, I said, "Let's go, go to my room and have a look."

The girl nodded and led the way ahead.Looking at her appearance, she is younger than the original Bilian, so I call her Little Bilian in my heart.

Although the original Bilian is dead, no one can replace her.

The room is still arranged in the place I remember, even the rockery in the yard full of welts is exactly the same.

A familiar feeling rushed from the depths of my mind, almost engulfing me.

"Who arranged this here!" I asked the maid.

There are many ghosts who have been to the City Lord's Mansion, but they can replicate all the traces of my life here, even if my father and I can't do it by ourselves!
The maid is still so low-browed and pleasing to the eye: "It was arranged by the city lord himself."

"How did he arrange it?"

"The slave does not know."

In front is a small two-story wooden building, which was my boudoir in the previous life.I walked in quickly, and the furnishings inside were exactly the same as I remembered.

The ones who are most familiar with this place are Luyao's maid and I when we were Luyao, followed by my father and Yechen.

However, it is impossible for the maids to have the ability and the heart to preserve the Youcheng City Lord's Mansion for me.And my father is dead, and Ye Chen has just returned to the underworld, so I don't have time to do these things.

Who is this ghost?
I walked back and forth in the house irritably, and suddenly noticed a strange yin energy flashing by nearby.

However, when I checked carefully, there was nothing there.

I turned my head to look at Little Bilian who was following me, that girl still followed me dutifully with an expression of ignorance.

"What kind of ghosts are there in the City Lord's Mansion?" I asked.

"The city owner rarely comes back, so there are only slaves and a few guards.",

It is impossible for the guards to come in here.Moreover, the ghosts in the house don't have to hide from me.

I pretended I didn't find anything and paced around the room. Tasseled veils, lights and hanging on the walls, everything I had in the last life is still here in this life.

Some of these things are what I used before, and some are imitated later.

"Where did these things come from?" I asked again.

"It was the city lord who worked so hard to find it." Xiao Bilian said truthfully.

I became more and more curious about the identity of the city lord.

After walking around the house twice, the looming Yin Qi still surrounds the surrounding area.

That little ghost should be hiding somewhere in the house.

However, I searched several corners but couldn't find that guy's hiding place. When I was in a dilemma, a flash of light suddenly flashed in my mind.

There is a secret room in my room!
Ignoring Little Bilian's surprise, I walked to the wall and injected a stream of mana into it.

A bluish-white formation appeared on the black wall. I untied the formation according to the method in memory, and a door suddenly appeared on the complete wall.

A fierce wind howled out from inside, and I stood so close that I didn't even have time to escape.

Seeing that the sharp knife-like wind was about to fall on my face, I suddenly felt my body being pulled.In an instant, the dark wind rushed out from the door of the secret room and hit the imperial concubine's couch beside her.

The imperial concubine couch made of Yin locust tree exploded immediately.

"Are you okay?" Ye Chen's voice came from above his head, and he was the one who pulled me away just in time.

I shook my head and motioned him curiously to look inside the secret room.

Ye Chen swept his eyes, and a cloud of dark wind was drawn into the secret room.A scream came from inside, and a person covered in blood was pulled out by Ye Chen.

It's fake Luyao!

Ye Chen sneered: "No wonder the Chang Xiao Iron Guard couldn't find you, so they hid here!"

Angrily, he waved a yin energy and pressed down on the fake Luyao who was about to get up and try to escape. The woman's face was full of anger and unwillingness.

"How do you know there is a secret room here?" I asked her curiously.

Her gaze passed over me, and her eyes were full of jealousy.

Ye Chen was dissatisfied with her eyes, and swung his sleeves to throw a cloud of Yin Qi, knocking her to the ground again.

"Bilian, what's going on?" I turned my head and asked little Bilian.

The girl looked terrified: "Slave... I don't know..."

Ye Chen glanced at her, and I explained: "This is the girl specially prepared by the new city lord of Youcheng, also named Bilian, and the same name as my original girl."

Ye Chen frowned: "The same name as your original girl?"

"Yeah, don't you remember?" I was a little surprised, "I used to come out to play with you, and Bilian often followed me."

Hearing this, Ye Chen tilted his head and thought for a while: "It seems that there is indeed such a ghost..."

"What kind of memory do you have! That girl has been following me!"

Ye Chen looked at me with a smile on his face: "Aside from you, why should I remember other people?" He frowned slightly as he spoke, "Why did that girl always follow you before?"

"She is my personal maid, who will follow if she doesn't follow me?" I asked back.

Ye Chen disdained: "If you hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't even remember such a girl."

I'm speechless.There was a sound of wood colliding.

It turned out that the fake Luyao took the opportunity to escape, but accidentally bumped into the imperial concubine's couch beside her.However, when she was found fleeing, she didn't panic, but looked at Ye Chen in shock.

There was a strong hurt in her eyes, which made Ye Chen unhappily wave out a cloud of yin again.

The fake Luyao couldn't dodge, Ye Chen's Yin Qi roared towards her face, and in her extreme pain, Ye Chen peeled off the face that was exactly the same as Luyao's.

That familiar yet unfamiliar face slowly fluttered in the air, Yechen turned his head and asked me, "Are you afraid?"

"I'm a forensic doctor, what are you afraid of?" I've seen even scarier scenes.

Ye Chen gave me a slight nod of approval, drew a green flame towards that face, and ignited that thin face in the air.

"No—" False Luyao let out a heart-piercing roar, desperately wanting to step forward and take away the face that was being devoured by the will-o'-the-wisp.

Just when she was about to touch it, Ye Chen sent her flying with Yin Qi.

Ye Chen's subordinates showed mercy, the impostor did not die.After Luyao's face was peeled off, her face was covered with black blood, and she couldn't see her real face clearly.

She looked desperately at the face that was burned clean in the air, and then looked at Ye Chen blankly, her eyes were full of disbelief: "Don't you love her..."

Ye Chen held my hand without a trace, and announced condescendingly: "The person I love the most is by my side."

The counterfeit looked at me, his eyes were filled with resentment, and he roared again: "She's not Luyao! She's not!"

"She's Shengsheng, she's my wife." It was rare for Ye Chen to chat patiently with a ghost he hated.

"So you don't love Luyao anymore, do you?" the counterfeit asked again.

Ye Chen frowned, ignored Xiao Bilian's presence, and said to the counterfeit: "Sheng Sheng is Luyao! Stop talking nonsense to me!"

The counterfeit looked at me, and suddenly laughed very self-deprecatingly.The laughter became louder and more desolate: "I have been with you for so many years...but you have never remembered me...have you?"

Ye Chen frowned, obviously he didn't remember what the counterfeit said.

The counterfeit said unwillingly: "How wonderful it is for Luyao...to have a rich and powerful father, and that alluring face...other than these two things, she has nothing else to do? But you all only have her in your eyes It's only her who is as stupid as a pig!"

"You're stupid!" I got angry all of a sudden, "Pigs are very smart! I'm also very smart!" I am responsible for the IQ that can skip a grade and go to graduate school!
Ye Chen stretched out his hand to stroke my long hair, comforting the frizzy me: "Don't be angry with her, you'll get angry. I'll avenge you."

"Ok!"

The counterfeit suddenly gave a disdainful smile: "Revenge? How do I get revenge? I won't tell you anything!" She touched her face desolately, looked at Ye Chen and smiled, "You still don't want to, don't you? A face that confuses all sentient beings... Otherwise, why did you take my face away when you clearly have the ability to do so until today?"

Ye Chen sneered: "If I really couldn't bear it, I wouldn't have tortured you in front of Yaoyao's face! Keeping you and that face is just for Sheng Sheng's disposal! But today, my lord I just don't want to see any sad look on Yaoyao's face!"

The counterfeit was refuted speechless.Looking at her eyes full of resentment, I suddenly remembered some pictures.

It was in the previous life, when my father and I passed by the gate of the Reincarnation Division.Kneeling at the door was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, disheveled.

"What's the matter with you?" I asked her curiously.At that time, I was equivalent to a twelve or thirteen-year-old child among living people, and I always had a natural yearning for seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls.

The girl raised her head and glanced at me, and in those bloodshot eyes flashed a feeling that I couldn't understand at the time.After a pause, she said, "I'm here to avenge my grievances."

"Revenge?" I looked back curiously at the Division of Reincarnation behind me, "Then you should go to the Division of Judgment. You went the wrong way."

The girl lowered her head to avoid my eyes, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to be reincarnated..."

"Then don't vote! After the trial is over, Yinlings who have not done evil can voluntarily give up their quota for reincarnation. Don't you know?" The more I asked, the more curious I became.

She nodded.

I was even more puzzled: "Then you can leave after giving up your reincarnation quota, why are you kneeling here?"
