Cultivating immortals and destroying the world is their duty

Chapter 72
During this period of time, various abnormalities continued to occur in the underworld, which made Zhaotai, who was used to living a comfortable life, wonder more than once whether Dongli and Qingyue, the two uninvited guests, brought bad luck to the underworld. Not the kind of mediocrity who would deceive himself. When he calmed down and thought about it seriously, he could only sigh secretly while patting his thigh.He is very clear that the events that happened one after another in the underworld, including the predicament that is now falling in all directions, are all because he has been the king of the underworld for tens of thousands of years, but he rarely cares about political affairs. Something was wrong, but he didn't rush to investigate further on the spur of the moment. Instead, he continued to maintain the appearance of "a generation of idle king" who was calm on the surface, and secretly investigated the surroundings himself.

The end between Dongli and Qingyue was handed over to Jasmine to negotiate with the two for the time being, and help them find the missing Nanshan and his juniors and juniors together, but Zhaotai always had a feeling in his heart that everything seemed to be bound by an invisible thread. If they are connected in series, should he follow the clues, or should he see the whole leopard with a glimpse?
The power of space was used by Zhaotai one after another. Originally, he was the most stingy with divine power, but now he has become so generous for some reason.

Department of Water Affairs, Zhenshuiju.

In the distance, Zhaotai saw a familiar figure from the back, who was talking to the gray-haired director of the Department of Water Affairs. He paused for a while and didn't walk over immediately, but the figure seemed to be more alert, and soon felt Hearing the movement behind him, he turned around.

The director arched his back just now, looking extremely respectful, but now he also raised his head, seeing that the person who came was Pluto Zhaotai, the expression on his face changed slightly, but he didn't look very surprised.

"Lord Pluto, I haven't sent anyone to report yet, why did you come here in person..." The man was not tall, but he was very imposing. Even facing Pluto Zhaotai, he only bowed slightly and saluted. There was no sign of respect.

Zhaotai smiled and waved his hands, and said in a calm tone: "Qin Shangshu is free, I came from the northeast block, um... Qin Shangshu has heard of some strange things in the underworld recently?"

"Qin Shi is guilty. I was just now asking Mr. Secretary about the situation of the water monster. As for the strange situation you mentioned... Excuse me for being stupid, are you referring to the report from the Department of Water Affairs?"

When talking with Zhaotai, Qin Shi has always had this kind of neither humble nor overbearing attitude. Of course Zhaotai is also used to this way of communication between superiors and subordinates. He still has some awe and respect from the bottom of his heart for this Shangshu official of the Hades Palace.

"Oh... let's talk about the water monster."

Qin Shi nodded and was about to speak, but Zhaotai covered his mouth with his hand, while motioning for the old director to explain in detail.

The white-haired director's chaotic eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to narrate gratefully.

"Four boatmen have seen the water monster one after another. It is said that it is huge and ugly, and... it also emits an unbearable stench... In order to find out the situation, the next official boarded the boat for a cruise in person yesterday. No matter what kind of monster it is, the resentment at the bottom of the river will eventually swallow it, but during the cruise, the lower official discovered by accident..."

"I'm discussing this matter with the director, and my opinion is basically the same as that of the director." Qin Shi immediately interrupted the white-haired director's narration, and stopped the director from continuing to speak with his eyes. With a smile on his face, he said: "No matter how powerful the monster is, choosing the Agron River as its habitat is simply asking for its own death. I think that it won't take long before the monster will be completely melted by the resentment at the bottom of the river." It disappeared...Master Chief, you are afraid that you are getting older, and you have to report such a small matter directly to Lord Pluto? Why do you bother Mr. Pluto to make this trip in person?"

The white-haired director's lips trembled twice, and a decisive light appeared in his eyes. He took a deep breath, knelt down, and shouted: "Master Pluto! Of course, I know that the scary thing is not the water monster. It's the black current at the bottom of the river that I found during my cruise yesterday!"

"Kuroshio?" Zhaotai was startled, and immediately looked at the official who was not willing to let the white-haired director speak, and asked sternly, "Do you know about this?"

A look of surprise appeared on Qin Shi's face in a timely manner. He shook his head and hurriedly said, "Of course I know now, Mr. Yao! Why didn't you mention it just now?"

The white-haired director who was named saluted with a wry smile, without saying yes or no, but his heart was already like a mirror—from yesterday to now, he had already reported the three-way emergency report to the Hades Hall. Qin Shi, as a minister, It should not have been delayed until now, and he interrupted his narration abruptly just now... Yao She is a little glad that he took the risk of exceeding his authority this time, and directly invited Pluto, and he is even more fortunate today His Lord Pluto is so diligent that he can be there whenever he is called.

Because there are many grievances at the bottom of the Agron River, the grievances gathered every once in a while will form a tide of grievances, but this kind of tide will not bring any lethality, as long as a few dead souls with high soul power form a group to resolve the grievances However, the Kuroshio is a completely different existence. If you don't resolve the tide of resentment for a long time, or if you don't dissolve it thoroughly, let the tide of resentment sublimate and evolve, and it will gradually transform into a powerful and widespread wave. The black wave of resentment is a catastrophic existence in the underworld - the black tide.

"Yao She, didn't there always be warning signs when there was a black tide in the past? Why is it so sudden this time?" Zhaotai was suspicious, and his eyes drifted to the face of the Shang Shuguan again.

"There is no early warning sign, not at all. I usually personally cruise once a week. It has never stopped for thousands of years. This time the black tide came suddenly. I don't dare to speculate. I just ask Lord Pluto to take this matter to heart. , find a solution as soon as possible..."

"Master Yao... If this matter is pursued, I'm afraid you will be guilty of negligence, right? The warning sign of the Kuroshio is a phenomenon that even a three-year-old child can understand in the entire upper and lower underworld. How could you say that?" Didn't show up, didn't show up?" Qin Shi stared into Yao She's eyes, and sent him a fierce breath with all his strength.

Yao She was indeed getting old, and at this moment he was a little overwhelmed, fell to his knees with a plop, and cried out a little abruptly: "Master Pluto! I plead guilty! It's because I didn't notice for a while!"

"Lord Yao, get up first, get up and talk first..." Zhaotai made a gesture to help Yao She, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the gloomy smile on Qin Shi's face.

There was a trace of resentment in Zhaotai's heart. He felt that if Qin Shi continued to say something strangely here and there from time to time, he might never be able to get any valuable information from Yao She.

Thinking about it, Zhaotai frowned, and lowered his voice to Qin Shi's ear and said, "Master Shangshu, I just dealt with Lu Hua from the Wanhun Pagoda, but there is no precedent in the past, and the incident happened suddenly, lest there be some mishandling , otherwise... Please trouble Master Shang Shu to go to the Criminal and Prison Department to see what the master below has to say?"

"This..." Qin Shi looked puzzled and surprised, and instead of responding immediately, he tilted his head and stared into Zhaotai's eyes for a long time.

Afterwards, the corner of Qin Shi's mouth finally forced a smile. In this seat, it is really unreasonable for him to say that he is completely ignorant of the Wanhun Pagoda, but Zhaotai, who has always been sloppy, will have such a vigorous and resolute day. He was deeply surprised.

"I'm going to resign... It's just that Lord Pluto won't go with me?" Qin Shi meant that it would be best for Zhaotai to leave the Department of Water Affairs with him, but now he doesn't report any hope, so he just said it casually. ask.

"Of course it is necessary." Zhaotai nodded, and then told Yao She who was still kneeling on the ground: "Suppress the matter of the Kuroshio for the time being, don't make a fuss about it, and just wait for Master Shangshu's arrangement. Facing the Kuroshio, Lord Shangshu also has some experience."

After finishing speaking, Zhaotai stretched out his hands and lifted the old director of the Department of Water Affairs, making him stand up and look at him at the same level. Then he looked down and saw some dirt on the hem of Yao She's robe, and bent down slightly to help him pat , but didn't say anything more.

Qin Shi was really confused this time. He saw that Zhaotai was giving him an order to drive away, but he seemed to have returned to his daily nature in an instant. Looking at Zhaotai who had strode out, his eyes gradually became blurred. ——This Pluto may no longer be viewed with the old eyes.

Originally, Zhaotai wanted to send Qin Shi away, but at the same time he said those words, he suddenly thought of a bolder guess. He urgently needed to see Qin Shi and Lu Hua meet, after all, the Tower of Thousand Souls is the center of the underworld. Fundamentally, he needs to know what kind of role this Lord Shangshu, who covers the sky with one hand and has power over the entire underworld, plays in this matter.

As for the Kuroshio, he believed that there would be no big storms for a while, and when he was free, he would also send a message to Ning Sha, asking him to come to the Water Affairs Department to help for a few days.
