Soon, Yu Xiaolong discovered that the end of the wooden bridge was ahead, and the black ground appeared in front of him.
Just when his feet left the bridge and stepped onto the ground, the scenery behind him changed again. The wooden bridge had disappeared, leaving only endless darkness.
Two tall ghosts stood not far away. They were wearing armor and holding spears. They looked at the two ghosts with ferocious faces.
"Hello, brother." Bai Wuchang waved.
"Hey, you guys are here again? Who is that little guy behind?" A big ghost asked expressionlessly.
"He came to see Master Die Ming, hehe." Hei Wuchang said with a smile.
The other party was startled, looked at Yu Xiaolong, and said in disbelief: "He? Meeting Master Dieming? What a joke!"
"I'm telling you, don't mess around and tell the truth!" Another big ghost snorted coldly.
"Hey~ I dare to tell lies in front of you? Don't you want to live anymore?" Bai Wuchang laughed.
"No matter how brave you are!" Hei Wuchang said, handing over a stack of silver coins.
"Hmph! I guess you don't dare either!"
The other party pouted, reached out and took the Yin coin, and at the same time handed over a wooden card.
"Get out of here." Another ghost waved his hand.
“Get rich, get rich!”
"I'm sorry!"
Black and White Wuchang led Yu Xiaolong over, while the two ghosts watched from behind with great disdain.
The surrounding scene looks like a wasteland, but beneath your feet is a wide road paved with bluestone slabs.
Bai Wuchang smiled and shook the wooden sign in his hand and said: "This is the first level, those two guys are like that, hehe."
"It looks like it's easy to pass." Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Haha~ Of course it was easy at the beginning. We are old acquaintances. However, it gets more difficult as we go on!" Hei Wuchang waved his hand.
"How many levels are there in total?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"Well... there are a total of sixteen regular fixed levels. I can't say about the irregular ones. There may be random inspections in the middle. It's not easy to get into the innermost level." Bai Wuchang smiled bitterly.
"We can only enter the twelfth level, and we are not qualified to enter after that. That is also the core area. I don't know what it is like inside." Hei Wuchang sighed.
"You two are officials in the underworld, don't you deserve trust?" Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Hey... Needless to say, it's definitely not possible! That's the emperor's judge, how can any official get in? The lowest level must be the same as that of Lord Die Ming, and the rest are just like Guhunye
Almost like a ghost." Hei Wuchang said depressedly.
"It seems that the underworld is almost the same as the underworld, haha." Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"It can be called almost the same, it's almost the same. Bureaucracy and class are everywhere, the official level is overwhelming, money and interests determine everything, the environment is like this, there is no way, hey!" Bai Wuchang shook his head with a wry smile.
Suddenly, Hei Wuchang looked around and said, "By the way, I forgot to mention it. You may encounter wandering Yin beasts along the way. They are actually not scary. Just don't get excited, let alone use your true energy."
"Is there a Yin beast here?" Yu Xiaolong asked in surprise.
"They're not the ones in the wilderness, they're specially kept in captivity and patrolled in the area, hehe." Bai Wuchang chuckled.
"It's not like I've never seen a Yin beast before, and I've even killed it, haha." Yu Xiaolong waved his hand.
The two ghosts continued to walk forward along the road. The surrounding environment was very gloomy. Apart from extremely high mountain peaks, nothing else could be seen.
Not long after, two stone pillars that looked tens of meters high appeared in front of them, with the road passing through them.
Bai Wuchang held the token and walked at the front. A black mist immediately enveloped them and disappeared after a moment.
Several dog-like Yin beasts suddenly appeared out of nowhere, circled around them for a few times, and then ran away into the distance.
Yu Xiaolong observed that the token in Bai Wuchang's hand had changed its appearance.
Hei Wuchang explained: "Every time you pass a level, the token will be changed. If there is a problem, you will not be able to pass it, hehe."
"Those dogs just now were Yin beasts?" Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Oh, don't look down on those guys, they are very powerful. If the token is wrong, if you try to force it through, it will be torn to pieces in an instant. Master Yu, please don't be angry. Even you, don't exceed
It'll be over in five seconds." Bai Wuchang said with a smile.
"So powerful? I can't tell." Yu Xiaolong pouted.
"Don't look at the size of the Yin beast. In many cases, it's just the opposite. You must remember it!" Bai Wuchang raised his eyebrows.
They continued walking along the road and soon came to a bridge.
The bridge is not wide and the distance is not long, only more than a hundred meters. The black river flows under the bridge, which looks very strange.
As soon as I stepped onto the bridge, the water under the bridge began to boil, as if it were boiling water. Several huge black figures were swimming quickly under the water.
While Yu Xiaolong was curious, a dragon-like snake jumped up from the water and looked at the three of them with eager eyes.ωωw..net
Yu Xiaolong was startled and looked at it with his mouth wide open.
Hei Wuchang said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to it, we are not afraid."
After a while, the big snake swooped back into the water and disappeared.
The two ghosts walked forward like this, passing through multiple levels in succession. Before reaching one, the tokens would be automatically changed, and they would automatically enter the next one.
During this period, Yu Xiaolong saw all kinds of ghosts. Some were only as big as cats and dogs, and some were as huge as a hill.
There is also a huge Yin Beast that is hundreds of meters high, like a mantis magnified countless times, which looks very eerie and terrifying.
Yu Xiaolong even saw a tree-shaped shadow beast for the first time, as if ordinary trees had been given life.
At the same time, he also discovered that whether it was the ghosts guarding the checkpoint or the patrols he met along the way, they were all at the level of ghost generals and had very strong combat capabilities.
Yu Xiaolong was no stranger to ghost generals, but there were very few of them he could meet in the human world.
But on this road leading to Tianzidian, every ghost that looks like a human is, without exception, at the level of a ghost general.
Yu Xiaolong sighed inwardly and admired the hierarchy and defense measures of the underworld.
This trip to the underworld opened Yu Xiaolong's eyes and saw many things he had never seen or heard of.
Black and White Wuchang seemed to know his curiosity, and you and I explained it to him along the way.
As the destination gets closer, there are significantly more patrols and guards around, and inspections become more stringent.
Even if he looks familiar with Black and White, the other person will not relax at all.
After walking for a long time, Yu Xiaolong found a long city wall in the distance with a very majestic gate in the middle.
The gate is at least 100 meters wide, with sculptures up to 100 meters high on both sides.
The entire door is black and red, the top is very smooth, and exudes a faint black aura.
"Master Yu, this is the final range that we brothers can go to. Did you see the gate in front? That's the final core area. It's not easy for someone with a lower level than Lord Die Ming to get in!" Bai Wuchang giggled.
"Lord Die Ming's Emperor's Palace is inside. It is an existence that is out of reach for us. Not to mention it is impossible to do it without being invited. If you mess up, it will be wiped out in a matter of minutes." Hei Wuchang said carefully.
"Uh... I don't plan to force my way in. I just want to go in normally." Yu Xiaolong scratched his head and thought about countermeasures.
Suddenly, several sharp neighing sounds were heard, and a huge phoenix-like thing flew in the mid-air in the distance, but it was so huge that you could barely see a figure sitting on it.
"What is that?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
The two ghosts, Black and White, had their empty eyes wide open, and their bodies were trembling slightly.
Bai Wuchang subconsciously took two steps back and said timidly: "Heigu, Captain of the Emperor's Palace Guard!"
