"Why are you looking at my boss? There are some things that you can't explore." Chen Xuanli looked at Qi Kongming's expression and joked.
Qi Kongming was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Master is right."
Soon two bowls of beef noodles were served on the table. The two of them moved their index fingers as they looked at the fragrant beef noodles.
"Don't be restrained in front of me." As soon as Chen Xuanli finished speaking, he started eating beef noodles. Qi Kongming was speechless for a while looking at Chen Xuanli's appearance, and then he became exactly like Chen Xuanli and began to feast.
After the two of them ate many bowls of beef noodles at this noodle stall, Qi Kongming followed Chen Xuanli to visit this ghost gate.
"Master, do we have to wait until night before entering Fengdu City?" Qi Kongming asked.
Chen Xuanli glanced at Qi Kongming and said, "It doesn't have to be at night, but you can definitely enter at night. It's a little difficult to enter during the day."
"You, the leader of the Xuanwu Sect, can't do it?" Qi Kongming said with a provocation.
Chen Xuanli smiled calmly and said, "Do you think I am doing useless work here?"
When Qi Kongming heard this, he found that the two of them had already left the north gate of the Gate of Hell. When he turned around, he found two statues guarding the north gate.
One is an ox head and the other is a horse face.
"They are the key to our entry into Fengdu City." Chen Xuanli pointed at the two statues and said.
As soon as Chen Xuanli finished speaking, the two statues revealed two phantoms at the same time, one with a bull's head and the other with a horse's face.
"Why do the living want to enter Fengdu City?" Niutou asked the two of them with a deafening voice.
A token appeared in Chen Xuanli's hand, one side was engraved with life, the other side was engraved with death, and there was a Xuanwu on top of the token.
"Xuanwu Life and Death Order, these two honored guests may enter Fengdu City." Ma Mian looked at the order, his voice became respectful, and a light door opened between the two of them.
Chen Xuanli pulled Qi Kongming into the light door and disappeared.
The bull's head and horse's face turned into a ray of light and escaped into the statue. It was as if everything just happened had never happened. No one in the ghost gate noticed what happened here.
Qi Kongming opened his eyes, but found that the sky above his head had turned into night. Above the sky, a blood moon hung in the sky, and the blood-colored light projected down, but there was no trace of discomfort.
Qi Kongming looked around, seeing people coming and going, including demons, humans, and other races.
When the soul power dispersed, it was discovered that every creature had long since lost the breath of life.
These are dead things!!
"Don't be surprised, these are the ghost tribe." Chen Xuanli looked familiar. Qi Kongming just wanted to ask something when he heard this.
"Hahaha, you said you read a book, don't you know this? The ghost creatures are originally transformed by the creatures of all races after death, so they still retain the memories of their lives, but they have no memories of their lives and have become another person.
kind of existence."
"This is like living another life." Chen Xuanli said this with some sigh in his tone.
Suddenly, a group of guards appeared in front of the two of them, which was extremely unexpected.
A masked ghost general, riding a tall horse and holding a red tassel spear, came to the two of them.
"The City Lord is already waiting for you two in the City Lord's Mansion, please!" Wherever the ghost general's spear was pointing, a sedan appeared.
"Let's go, guests do as they please." Chen Xuanli walked forward calmly, and Qi Kongming followed slowly.
Looking at the ghost creatures around as usual, I sighed again, this world is really amazing.
The two people entered the sedan, but found that there was another space in the sedan, with a pavilion, and a table of delicious food and wine in the pavilion.
"It's a pity that we have already had our meal and we have to waste all this food and wine." Chen Xuanli sat on the stone chair and looked at the food on the table and couldn't help but feel pity.
"Okay, Master, aren't we here to do business? You don't seem to be in a hurry." Qi Kongming looked at his master who looked relaxed from beginning to end. This appearance was exactly the same as that of his second senior brother.
.
It's just that he doesn't have the handsome face of the second senior brother.
Qi Kongming joked in his heart.
"It's okay. What happened today seems to have gone smoothly." Chen Xuanli was extremely confident.
Upon hearing this, Qi Kongming couldn't help but become interested in where his master's confidence came from.
In the original war to exterminate demons, the ghost clan had no involvement. Can the other party agree today?
"If it can't be done, what am I doing here?" After Chen Xuanli finished speaking, he saw the sedan door open.
The two of them walked out of the sedan chair, and a palace appeared in front of them. The words "City Lord's Palace" were written on the plaque.
A green-faced evil ghost walked up to the two of them and said respectfully: "Two distinguished guests, please follow me. The city lord has been waiting for you for a long time."
Chen Xuanli and Qi Kongming followed the green-faced evil ghost into the city lord's mansion and soon arrived at the hall.
But I saw a white-faced scholar holding a paper fan sitting on the main seat, smiling at the arrival of the two people.
"Please sit down, please sit down." This white-faced scholar is the lord of Fengdu City and the leader of the ghost clan.
Qi Kongming and Chen Xuanli sat in the guest seats on the left.
"I know Sect Leader Chen's purpose. He wants our ghost clan to take action to resist the Soul Emperor's men, right?" The white-faced scholar said calmly, as if he had already expected this.
"The city lord is right, but I don't know if the ghost clan is willing?" Chen Xuanli also asked.
"Whether you are willing or not depends on your sincerity. After all, our ghost clan is not afraid of the invasion of the devil and the underworld." The white-faced scholar opened his paper fan and wrote two words, sincerity.
When Qi Kongming heard this, he felt disdain for the white-faced scholar, but he felt relieved when he thought about it.
The ghost clan is not afraid of changes in the Taoist world. No matter what, the demon clan in the demon world and the dead clan in the underworld are helpless against the ghost clan. How can they help if there is no benefit?
After all, ghosts are also subject to death.
"Don't worry, this is sincerity." Then Chen Xuanli took out a jade plate. The white-faced scholar looked at the jade plate and his face became greedy, and the word "sincerity" on the paper fan turned into shock.
"I actually did it. Daozu's methods are really unfathomable."
"In this case, our ghost clan has agreed to this matter, and you can rest assured that our ghost clan will never break our promise!" The white-faced scholar said firmly, and the word "shock" on the paper fan changed into the word "honesty".
Qi Kongming looked at the city lord of Fengdu City and immediately agreed after seeing the jade plate. He also thought to himself: "It turns out that master is really well prepared."
But I don’t know what this jade plate is?
"However, I still have one condition." Chen Xuanli spoke again, and the white-faced scholar's face suddenly darkened.
"Zongzhu Chen, please don't push beyond the limit." The two characters on the white-faced scholar's paper fan were changed into four characters, "Go beyond the limit."
"Hahaha, I just want you to check the book of life and death. Could it be that the city lord is unwilling?" After Chen Xuanli finished speaking, he seemed to be putting the jade plate away.
At this moment, Qi Kongming was confused. What was Master going to do? Didn't the other party agree a long time ago?
The four characters for the white-faced scholar's paper fan have been changed into two characters, "Wait a minute."
When Chen Xuanli saw this, he stopped moving.
"Hahaha, it turns out it's such a trivial matter. If Sect Master Chen had told me earlier, I wouldn't be so rude." The white-faced scholar smiled again and put away the paper fan.
The face of the white-faced scholar turned black, and a door of light appeared in front of the three of them.
"Since you want to read the book of life and death, then follow me to the Hall of Yama!" The black-faced scholar walked into the light door, and Chen Xuanli pulled Qi Kongming to escape into the light door.
The three people disappeared from the city lord's mansion.
