"Hurry up, hurry up, brother Xiao Liu, why are you dragging your feet? It's so late at night. My father must have gone to bed. Let's go to the haunted house where Li Xiuyuan lives overnight to find out what's going on. We'll be back before dawn. As long as you don't say anything,
If we don’t tell him, our father won’t find out.”
In the quiet time of the night, inside the government office.
Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi finally couldn't bear their curiosity and decided to go to the mansion where Li Xiuyuan was to investigate overnight.
I heard Brother Xiaoliu say that it used to be the residence of the prime minister of the previous dynasty. Since the demise of the previous dynasty, it has been a haunted house. It used to be the property of the Marquis Mansion. I don’t know what happened these days.
Li Xiuyuan of Japan.
I heard it was to pay off debts.
But the older generation of people in Jinling City all know that that place is not suitable for living. Anyone who lives in this place will be haunted by evil spirits on the first night. The mild cases will be frightened out of the house, and the worst cases will be infected with ghost diseases and become seriously ill.
In the past, there were even some idle men who did not believe in evil and made a bet with others to stay in that haunted house, but they died suddenly within a few days.
From then on, it became a forbidden area in Jinling City.
Even though the mansion is tall and exquisite, we can only watch it being dilapidated and decaying.
It wasn't until Li Xiuyuan's arrival two days ago that the haunted house became popular again.
A man named Xiao Liu is a servant of the Fu family and is very loyal to the Fu family. Fu Tianchou has always made him responsible for the safety of the two ladies.
This man in his thirties was hesitant at this moment: "You two ladies, I have said that there are ghosts and gods in this world. There is a rumored haunted house in Jinling City. There must be evil ghosts entrenched there. If the two ladies investigate overnight,
I'm afraid that something unexpected might happen, so I think it's better to pay a visit tomorrow morning and do some research in the name of a visit."
"How can this be done? During the day, all the ghosts have gone into hiding, so we won't be able to see them anymore. I've never seen a ghost in my whole life. Sister, let's leave quickly. If the master hears us, we won't be able to leave tonight."
As a younger sister, Fu Yuechi's little face was full of excitement at the moment, and she pulled Fu Qingfeng next to her and walked out of the government office.
"Brother Xiao Liu, don't worry, there won't be any danger. Doesn't Mr. Li live somewhere? Since there are people living there, there will definitely be no evil spirits to harm anyone." Fu Qingfeng said with a smile.
Xiao Liu said: "That Li Xiucai is not an ordinary person. His martial arts are extraordinary. With this martial arts, even ghosts and gods dare not do anything to him."
"My sister and I also have martial arts skills, and we are not afraid of ghosts." Fu Yuechi said with a smile, pulling Fu Qingfeng and leaving quickly.
Although there is no curfew in the city, most of the people in Jinling City believe in the living habit of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. The streets are empty and there is no one. Only the Qinhuai River is still brightly lit.
The two of them walked along the empty street toward the haunted house, talking and laughing along the way, discussing what the ghost looked like, what the monster looked like, and whether it was like the one in the play, with a green face, fangs, and a ferocious face.
Xiao Liu saw that he could not stop the curiosity of these two young ladies, so he had no choice but to follow them helplessly.
Although the two young ladies had some martial arts skills, going out to see ghosts in a haunted house in the middle of the night really made him uneasy. He couldn't afford it if something went wrong.
Li Xiuyuan didn't know what happened here.
At this moment, the haunted house was covered with black clouds, the wind howled, and ghosts were everywhere. In all directions, there were rows of Yin soldiers wearing old armor and floating in the air, wandering back and forth.
All the imps who gathered nearby were driven to the nearby area, and a road was forcibly opened along the street in the distance, leading directly to the outside of the Jade Tower.
"Woo, woo~!" A horn sounded.
Then the sound of the horn was accompanied by the beating of gongs and military drums. The sound was majestic and vast, as if some extraordinary person was really going out.
"I wonder which ghost or god is coming?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed, he stood up, stood with his hands behind his hands, and looked out into the dim street.
Compared with the arrival of other ghosts and gods, the ghosts and gods who arrived this time were obviously extraordinary.
Yin soldiers are clearing the way, horns are blowing, and there are many evil words in their words. It can be seen that what is about to come must be a big demon, the ghost king.
Other ghosts and gods in the hall also showed shocked expressions. Some ghosts and gods seemed to have guessed who was coming. They trembled and seemed to be afraid, but they did not dare to reveal it directly.
The little ghosts wandering outside the main hall saw that the situation was not good, and they all sneaked away to watch everything here from a distance, without even having the courage to get closer.
Soon, accompanied by the furious wind, at the corner of the street in the distance, a carriage was slowly coming here, pulled by ghost horses from the underworld. The gauze curtain in the carriage was transparent, and a person could be seen.
The tall figure sits upright.
"Huh? This is a powerful ghost from the underworld. His behavior is at least as high as that of a ghost king." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself. He glanced at the long-bearded ghost king in the main hall.
The long-bearded Ghost King's green eyes flashed, and his dark-green face revealed an extraordinarily solemn look.
"It's just a ghost king. He shouldn't be so nervous." Li Xiuyuan saw his solemn mood, but when he looked up again, he found that there was another chariot behind the chariot.
The same tall and burly ghost figure is located in the gauze curtain, half-hidden and half-hidden, unable to see clearly.
But there is no doubt that it is also a ghost king.
"Two ghost kings?" Li Xiuyuan was also stunned at this moment.
Ghosts like the Ghost King are not cabbage. They can be seen everywhere. Such ghosts are at least a thousand-year-old demon level. They are enough to frighten a party. Even the gods in the sky dare not surrender casually. It is a Taoist who catches ghosts and eliminates them.
Even if you see a ghost king, you have to retreat.
No, there are more than two ghost kings.
The second carriage was actually followed by a third carriage.
Three statues?
No, the fourth carriage appeared, and the fifth carriage also appeared...
The carriages coming out of the corner of the street seemed to be endless, one after another, and in each carriage there was a tall ghost sitting in the gauze curtain. The appearance of these ghost carriages made the streets above
The ghost energy was permeating the air, and the Yin energy was surging. Even in the underworld, there was no such heavy Yin energy. Although the people near the street were sleeping soundly, they began to have nightmares due to the influence of the Yin energy, and fell into endless nightmares.
Fortunately, the number of carriages sent out was not endless. By the ninth carriage, the carriage finally stopped appearing, followed by rows of ghost generals riding ghost horses and holding long swords and spears.
There are at least a dozen or twenty ghost generals, and behind them are neat rows of Yin soldiers.
The Yin soldiers seemed endless, lining the streets and extending to unknown places.
"Huhu~!"
A gust of dark wind blew, and ghost servants landed on both sides of the street holding ceremonial guards, either canopies, scepters, or titles.
The title plates on the two leading ghost servants read, respectively, Ten Palaces and Yama.
The four big characters glow red at night, revealing majesty and gloominess.
"Ten Halls of Hell?" Li Xiuyuan frowned immediately.
According to what he knows, there is no longer a serious Yama in the underworld. It is all ghost kings who are in charge of the ghost cities. The underworld is now a mess, and everyone is doing their own thing. Whoever has a bigger fist will have more territory. Just like when he met before
The red-haired ghost king in the underworld is a ghost king with no one to restrain him, and the same is true for the long-bearded ghost king in the main hall.
Speaking of the Long Bearded Ghost King, Li Xiuyuan suddenly looked at him again.
"There are only nine deities of Yama in the ten palaces. Is there one missing one, you, the long-bearded ghost king?"
He noticed that these nine carriages carried nine ghost kings respectively. There were not ten ghosts in total, but if the long-bearded ghost king was included, it would be exactly ten.
The long-bearded ghost king stood up and bowed and said: "The little god is a Yama in the Ten Kings Palace like them. The little god is responsible for the jurisdiction of Jinling City, and the remaining nine are ghost kings responsible for managing other states. I don't know why today.
These nine colleagues of this little god all came together to visit."
"Is it from good or evil?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
The long-bearded ghost king glanced outside and said nothing.
"I understand." Li Xiuyuan understood clearly in his heart.
The visitor must be evil. One of the ten ghost kings in the Ten Kings Palace was surrendered by him. Naturally, these ghost kings couldn't sit still and wanted to see what happened. Today, he happened to send an invitation to all the ghosts and gods near Jinling City.
The nine ghost kings took advantage of this moment to arrive together, bringing with them the yin soldiers and ghost generals under their command, somewhat to show off their force and to exert oppression.
"I am the sword-wielding ghost king. I arrived suddenly today. I apologize for causing any inconvenience, haha." A ghost king laughed and flew out of the chariot. This man was carrying two swords and was full of murderous intent. His ghost eyes swept away
, nearby ghosts and gods gave way.
"I am the Long-tusked Ghost King. How can I not come to a banquet for a saint on earth? Hey." The second Ghost King landed on the ground. This man had a big belly and was bloated. Two white fangs rolled out of his mouth. Although his face was full of smiles.
, but his face is full of hatred, and he adds fangs from time to time, which is chilling to see.
"I am the long-tongued ghost king, but I have to make this trip today." The third ghost king walked down. This man was tall and thin, with a scarlet tongue hanging from his mouth to his waist.
He has no evil appearance, but his long, blood-stained tongue is enough to make people shy away.
"I am the ghost king of my mother, haha. If there is any offense today, I hope that the saints in the world will not see it like a little girl." The fourth ghost king turned out to be a woman. This woman was dressed in a red dress, heavy makeup, and had a rare appearance.
She is delicate and pretty, but her laughter is as ruthless as a poisonous snake. In addition, she is holding a green-black baby in her hands. The baby crawls up and down on her shoulders from time to time, making oozing noises.
laugh.
The fifth, sixth ghost king... and the ninth ghost king announced their names one after another.
The nine ghost kings came together, ignoring the other ghosts and gods, only focusing on Li Xiuyuan in the main hall.
