"Does Dingdong give up the mission and choose to return immediately?"
The system prompt sounded, and just as Wu Minggang was about to select and confirm, the inspection order flew out from his body.
The next moment, a majestic voice came from the inspection order: "I am Song Tao, Wu Ming, are you in the underworld?"
"Song Chenghuang!" Hearing this voice, Wu Ming frowned and said, "Master Song, what are your orders?"
"In the underworld, Dou Kou, the mayor of Yong'an County, has been my best friend for many years. A month ago, Yong'an County in the underworld was occupied by a group of zombies. And three days ago, Dou Kou suddenly disappeared and there has been no news.
It’s coming. As the city god of Qingshan County, I can’t leave my station without permission, so I want you to go there for me!”
"Yong'an County!" Wu Ming is no stranger to this name, because he witnessed Liu Yu's zombie army resisting the Yin soldiers of the City God who entered Yang, and his memory is very deep.
However, Liu Yu was not even afraid of the City God. This trip was very dangerous and it was really difficult to agree to it.
"Sir Song, I have also heard about what happened in Yong'an County. However, I am not very powerful, so I am afraid it will be difficult for you to share your worries!" Wu Ming told the truth, causing Song Tao to be silent for a while.
After a long time, Song Tao spoke again and whispered: "Dou Kou is a ghost immortal. Although he is not as good as the orthodox immortal, he still has the means to protect himself. Let's do this. Come to me in the underworld and I will give you something.
, so that you can protect yourself.”
After saying this, the token automatically fell to the ground and became what it was before.
Wu Ming looked at the token at his feet, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and decided to go over and take a look first.
Cutting through the passage between Yin and Yang, Wu Ming went straight into the underworld and headed towards the county government office of Qingshan County in the underworld.
When they arrived at the county government office, Song Tao was sitting in the lobby, playing with a black tower in his hand.
Wu Ming looked towards the black tower and saw that the black tower was eighteen centimeters high and was also divided into eighteen floors. On each floor, there were depictions of hell scenes and various tortures. If you look closely, it was like ten floors.
The replica of the Eight Hells is really lifelike.s
"My lord" took a brief look, and Wu Ming lowered his head and bowed his hands to Song Tao.
Song Tao stopped what he was doing and threw the black tower outward. The black tower suddenly appeared in front of Wu Ming's eyes.
The black pagoda was right in front of him, and Wu Ming noticed that the precious light flowing on it did not look ordinary.
Then, before he could ask any questions, Song Tao said: "This black tower was given to me by Judge Lu in the city when I took office. The tower has eighteen floors, and each floor can block an attack from a human or immortal.
Every six layers can block an attack from the Earthly Immortal, and the total of eighteen layers can block an attack from the Heavenly Immortal. I will lend you this pagoda for protection. Are you willing to take a trip to Yong'an County?"
"Sir, before I agree, can you let me try the power of this pagoda? In addition, are there any other conditions for using this pagoda?" Wu Ming did not agree immediately, but asked cautiously.
road.
Hearing this, Song Tao was angry and funny, and said: "The Phoenix gave the crow a fairy fruit, but the crow thought it was a rotten peach. Don't you think it's funny?"
"It's not funny at all. It's just because of my caution that I asked. Who can tell clearly that this fairy fruit must be good and suitable for crows to eat?" Hearing Song Tao compare himself to a crow, he asked.
Wu Ming didn't feel angry at all.
On the contrary, the more Song Tao said this, the more he wanted to ask clearly.
After all, Song Tao was able to indulge Hu Jiumei, kill people and violate the law without punishing him, so he was not a clean person. Although the magic weapon is good, it cannot be perfect. When dealing with such people, those who sincerely believe in it are fools, and those who believe in it are fools.
"This pagoda can automatically protect the body. Do you think it is a defective product? You, a small official, if it were not the Yin official under me, would be a ghost and cannot leave the fiefdom without permission. Do you think I would choose you to go? Huh?
, if you are willing to try it, just try it yourself and see if I am lying to you!" Song Tao's face was gloomy, looking a little angry.
Wu Minggong cupped his hands and didn't care. When he raised his hands, the space was shattered, and he used his strongest spell.
Large-scale cracks came from all directions and swept towards the Black Tower.
In an instant, the space suddenly began to shatter, and all the items around the black tower were shattered. Only the black tower itself seemed to have existed forever and was not affected at all.
"What a strong defense!" Feeling that a large amount of magic power had been emptied, and looking at the unscathed black tower in front of him, Wu Ming knew that the black tower's defense was beyond his ability to break through.
"How about it, I didn't lie to you!"
Song Tao had a sneer on his face and continued: "If you help me go there, I will use this black tower to protect you for three hundred years. In addition, I will also appoint you as the eighth-grade Yang Patrolling Envoy, so that
You can be promoted to a higher level!"
Both gifts of treasures and official positions increased Song Tao's bargaining chips.
Wu Ming calculated in his mind and felt that with the system in place, he could leave at any time if he encountered danger, so there should be no danger.
In fact, if Song Tao dares to trick him, he will return to reality directly and not even leave this black tower for him.
"Your Excellency is so kind and my subordinates are trying to shirk it, that means they are ignorant." After analyzing the pros and cons, Wu Ming nodded and agreed.
Then, Song Tao promoted Wu Ming and raised his salary, and reduced the black tower to the size of a palm, making it easier for Wu Ming to carry it with him.
After walking out of the Chenghuang County Government Office, Wu Ming held the token of the Eighth-Rank Patrolling Yang Envoy and fondled it fondly.
This eighth-grade Yin official token is made entirely of soul-nourishing wood, which is of great benefit to nourishing the soul. As a practitioner of the mage route, Wu Ming can feel the joy of spiritual power even more, as if his whole person is relaxed
A lot.
"The underworld is so rich and powerful, what will heaven be like, and there are those disciples of saints!" Wu Ming was thinking wildly while returning to the earth.
He didn't even stop when he arrived in the underworld, and flew directly to Yong'an County.
When I went to Qingcheng Mountain before, Wu Ming had walked along this road. It was easy and pleasant to walk on it, and I didn't worry about finding the place at all.
A few hours later, Wu Ming arrived at a place called Gushui County, which is adjacent to Yong'an County.
Gushui County is a small county with a population of only 30,000, which is only one-third of Yong'an County.
Wu Ming landed in front of the city gate and walked towards the county town.
At first sight, the streets are extremely chaotic, and the entire county seems to be abandoned, full of a sense of desolation.
"This Gushui County is so desolate. It seems that it is heavily affected by zombies!" Wu Ming walked on the street, looking for open shops and wanted to inquire about the news.
After walking for several streets, Wu Ming was overjoyed when finally a restaurant was open for business.
As a result, when I walked into the restaurant, I saw that there was only one shopkeeper staying, and there was only one guest eating.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" The shopkeeper was sitting behind the counter. When he saw some customers coming in, he barely smiled.
"You can eat whatever you want. The county town is deserted. It's a shame if there is delicious food. By the way, don't leave yet. I'll ask you something else."
Putting a piece of gold on the table, Wu Ming chose a seat near the counter and asked: "What happened in Yong'an County next door this month?"
"What else can there be? Zombies! You don't know that there are nothing but zombies in Yong'an County now. Some time ago, our county magistrate sent someone to take a look, and it turned out that out of ten people there, nine
None of them have come back. Although the remaining one has come back, he is already scared out of his mind! Now, the ten rooms in Gushui County are empty, and almost everyone who can leave has left!" The shopkeeper's surname was Liu, and he sighed when he talked about the zombies.
, lamenting the difficulty of business.
In the past, although Gushui County was a lower-class county, there were still people eating.
But now, I'm lucky to be open, and I don't see many people in a day.
"Shopkeeper Liu, why don't you leave?" Wu Ming was curious and couldn't help but ask Shopkeeper Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu showed a dumbfounded expression, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you'll laugh if I tell you. I used to be a cook here, and I always dreamed of buying the restaurant. As a result, after the zombie incident, the boss and his family wanted to leave, so he bought the restaurant without asking for any money.
The restaurant was handed over to me, and I couldn’t bear to part with it!”
Wu Ming raised his eyes and took a closer look, and found that Boss Liu's hands were rough and he really didn't look like a boss.
"Sir, please sit down for a while, and I'll cook you a bowl of noodles!" Shopkeeper Liu trotted towards the kitchen, obviously not forgetting his own job.
Wu Ming shook his head and didn't care. He took advantage of this moment to look at the only guest in the restaurant.
This is a man wearing a bamboo hat whose appearance cannot be clearly seen.
He was eating scallion noodles with his head lowered, and he had a broad-backed sword at his hand. He looked a bit like a knight.
"Friend, judging from your appearance, you are probably not a local, right?" Wu Ming approached and asked the swordsman.
The swordsman ate the noodles quietly without raising his head, as if he didn't hear anything.
Wu Ming stood aside for a while, then a jar of wine appeared in his hand and he placed it heavily on the table.
"Not a local." Seeing the wine, the swordsman slowly spoke, then he held the handle of the knife and drew it.
The next second, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and the oil paper sealing the wine jar was split into two parts with the light of a knife, but the mouth of the jar was not affected in any way.
"It's such a fast knife. It's close to the mouth of the altar. Without looking, it cuts off the oil paper sealing it in the blink of an eye. This is a technical job!" Wu Ming praised, picked up two cups from the table, and faced the swordsman.
Started drinking.
After drinking two drinks in a row, the swordsman started talking more and said with a smile: "Actually, what I am most proud of in my life is this sharp knife. You don't know, I used to be an officer and soldier of Jinan Prefecture, and people don't know my name.
, just call me Kuai Dao! One time, I captured a dozen robbers, and one of them knew me and knew that my knife was the fastest, and wanted me to send him on his way. Guess what happened!"
"You agreed?" Wu Ming listened quietly, holding the wine glass, and motioned to the swordsman to continue.
The swordsman slapped his hand on the table and said with a smile: "I slashed the knife, and his head rolled to the ground. He was still shouting, wow, what a fast knife!" To be continued.
