Chapter six hundred and seventieth: Heaven and earth are destroyed, the calamity is in Xiaoyi
"that's all?"
"Yes, otherwise, this is the best result."
Beside the bonfire, Ding Xiaoyi casually added two pieces of firewood, took a warm wine bottle and sat at the table.
Although it is far away from Chaimu Xinju and is not that cold, the temperature is still like the winter solstice.
Liao Qiu sipped the warm rice wine and smacked it into his mouth. He felt that the coldness in his body had dissipated a lot. After confirming the news, he rushed over immediately and informed him of the news.
"Although the emperor set it off for three days, it actually takes two days to go through the process. That means that on the day Pangpang is released, he will be escorted to the back door of Huangquan. The whole process does not even have a chance to say goodbye to us."
What Liao Qiu meant was that he was complaining that the emperor was unkind.
But in fact, in my opinion, the emperor was able to release Pangpang, which was considered to be the most benevolent and righteous thing.
"Going through the back door..." He thought for a moment: "Now that the foreign land has been completely integrated with the real world, we can still contact Pangpang after he is exiled in the world. The only troublesome thing is that his mobile phone will be taken away. I don't know when Pangpang will
Where will the fat man be sent?"
"not that simple!"
A sneer interrupted Ding Xiaoyi's thoughts. Looking back, he found that old man Zao had arrived in the courtyard without knowing when.
This is Chai Rong's home, but it does not have independent privileges like Chaimu's new residence, so old man Zao does not need to notify anyone when he comes here.
Taking off the hat on his head, Old Man Zao sat at the table: "He was exiled, not left by himself. The treatment is different."
"What's the difference??" Liao Qiu asked.
"Those who are exiled from the Underworld will no longer have their souls taken in by the Underworld." Old Man Zao picked up the warm wine pot and said.
"So what? With Pangpang's strength, you can live to the end of the world, and you still worry about this??" Liao Qiu said disapprovingly.
The old man ignored him and slowly sipped the wine in the glass before saying: "That's not the problem. The problem is that when he leaves the underworld, he will be deprived of the memory of walking in the underworld. If you find him, he will not recognize you."
"ah!"
Ding Xiaoyi and Liao Qiu were immediately shocked.
Old Man Zao was not surprised at all by the surprised look of the two people: "Otherwise, do you think the emperor would let people go so easily? In fact, lighting the merit lamp is just for us to show the emperor. Even if we don't light the moral lamp, the emperor will still
will drive him out of Hades."
During this period of time, Old Man Zao was guarding the back door of Huangquan alone, and finally sorted out many of his thoughts.
He finally figured out the crux of some things that he couldn't figure out at first.
In other words, they were all fooled by the emperor.
And it's like playing around in circles.
But the only thing he still doesn't understand is what the emperor's purpose is for doing this. Maybe Pangpang knows, but he has no chance to tell them the truth.
After hearing what the bad old man said, Ding Xiaoyi felt so distressed for a moment. He didn't know whether he felt sorry for his own merits or because he was about to lose his friend Pangpang.
"Actually, this result is the best result."
The old man drank another glass of wine and said in a melancholy voice: "Buddhism doesn't say that forgetting three thousand worries and realizing that all five elements are empty, it seems that it is already destined to happen today."
Ding Xiaoyi and Liao Qiu looked at each other, and they could tell that the old man was in a bad mood and came to complain to them.
Just imagine how close the relationship between the two is after being friends for so many years.
Of course the old man would not feel good about saying goodbye suddenly in this way.
"Xiao Yi, this is for you!"
After the old man drank a few drinks, he took out a pill from the bamboo basket behind him and threw it to him.
"What's this??"
The Danwan looks completely black and shiny, and its heavy weight is like beads carved out of a marble car.
"Just in case, I always felt that something was not right with the Emperor. This time in Huangquan, I sorted out a lot of my thoughts. During this time, I plan to go to some places and place some old people from the underworld, so I have to interrupt for a while.
Contact me, I’ll give you this thing, it can save your life at critical moments.”
It turns out that this pill is called the Soul-Reviving Pill. After being eaten, a flesh fetus will be born in the physical body. If the physical body dies, this flesh fetus can be resurrected.
This is something unique to Hades, but the quantity is very rare, and the refining method is almost lost.
The most important thing is that this thing has no use in the underworld. After all, the vast majority of people in the underworld are dead.
So the bad old man only gave it to Ding Xiaoyi, and Liao Qiu didn't even get a share.
"Is this...really good?"
He carefully put away the soul-reviving pill and looked at the old man with worried eyes.
Investigating the emperor, no matter whether he can find any useful clues, he is very worried that the old man will follow in the footsteps of Fatty.
No! Maybe it would be worse.
If according to what the old man said, Pangpang is still useful to the underworld, even if they don't ask for his life, the emperor will let him go.
But if it's a bad old man, it's hard to say whether the Emperor will let him go.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm still in this position, even the emperor can't do anything to me."
The old man said this not to brag, but as the emperor of Fengdu, he has such a proud capital, and this position involves too many causes and effects.
To put it simply, it is like the vice president of a group, the deputy director of a certain local agency, etc. You are in a position where you do the work when nothing happens and you take the blame when something goes wrong.
From the creation of Yin Cao to the present, he has been burdened with so many karma that the old man himself can’t even count them. If the emperor wants to touch him, who will take over the karma?
This is also the reason why, even though Old Man Hao was demoted by the Emperor to guard the back door of Huangquan, his position did not change at all.
If he really had been dismissed, I'm afraid that Zongjie and the others would have run as far away as they could by now, and how could they still come to temporarily supervise the underworld on his behalf.
Seeing that the old man was so confident, Ding Xiaoyi felt relieved. At this moment, he thought of something: "If possible, I think you can find Bai Tang."
"Um!"
The bad old man raised his eyebrows slightly, but Ding Xiaoyi's words reminded him: "Try your best. This bitch has been imprisoned by the emperor since you brought her back last time. As for where she is imprisoned, I will try my best to find out."
While the three of them were talking, they had already drank more than half of the pot of rice wine. At this time, Chai Rong stepped forward and replaced them with a pot of new wine that had just been warmed.
Looking at Chai Rong's round belly, the old man couldn't help but envy: "You are so lucky. You are not satisfied with having a son, but now you have a girl."
"girl?"
Ding Xiaoyi was startled, and then stared at the old man with an angry look on his face: "Don't spoil the story, can you leave me some surprises?"
It's not easy to know whether it's a son or a girl. All he needs to do is put his hand on Chai Rong and take a peek. It's definitely more accurate than the obstetrics and gynecology machine. He doesn't need a bad old man to help him see.
But he didn't do this kind of thing when Yu Niang was pregnant with Ding Peng, let alone Chai Rong. This was originally a surprise, just like opening a blind box after buying it.
As a result, the box was opened early by someone else, which felt terrible.
"Hahaha!"
After the old man laughed happily, he drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp, grabbed the hat at hand and put it on his head: "Let's go!"
The person who was speaking had disappeared, and only his vicissitudes of song echoed in the mountains and fields: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone..."
"Okay, I'll go back early. If everything goes well, I might be able to see Pangpang for the last time tomorrow."
Liao Qiu felt that he had almost drunk, so he stood up and left, preparing to go to the underworld to guard.
Ding Xiaoyi originally wanted to go, but after thinking about it, he still didn't move. He sat alone at the table and drank glass after glass. Unknowingly, he had drank a whole pot of rice wine.
He wanted to get drunk, but how could a mere rice wine make him drunk for a moment.
In the end, I could only look at the withered forest in front of me, and my heart was filled with desolation...
Three days later, at the edge of Huangquan.
Facing the frozen world in front of them, a group of sinister ghosts and gods silently stared at Han Xue and stood there waiting.
Looking around, the world is filled with vast expanse of white. Even the underworld ghosts and gods who are used to seeing dry mountain tombs now feel that the underworld is so desolate for the first time.
"Master, shouldn't you be the happiest when this bald donkey is expelled from the underworld? How come you look a little sad?"
In the pavilion in the distance, Zongji and Song Xingxue stood together.
Ancestor Xuehe was sitting on the chair at the back, but unlike the expression of gloating on the face of Ancestor Xuehe, Zongji's expression at this time was not good-looking.
That's why the inquiry about Songxingxue came about.
Nowadays, Song Xingxue can be said to have exchanged a shot for a gun. He is wearing a rainbow-shining robe, which is particularly conspicuous in this world of ice and snow.
Among the disciples of Zongjie, Song Xingxue can be said to be a latecomer. Mastering the divine power can be said to have reached the sky in one step. Now the second round of the battle for Shinto will soon begin. With Zongjie as his backer, he has a bright future.
.
After hearing Song Xingxue's words, Gongjie remained silent for a long time without speaking. He looked at the frozen underworld in front of him, but he seemed very worried.
Over the years, the old man from Fengdu who was weighing on him was demoted, and even Ksitigarbha, who had always been against him, was about to be expelled from the underworld.
At the time when he was most proud of his life, he suddenly discovered today that sitting in this position below one person and above ten thousand people did not satisfy him.
Not long ago, the emperor summoned him to Youshan, but he gave him a big problem, asking him to clean up all the meritorious houses in the underworld as soon as possible that were not under the jurisdiction of Yincao.
This cleanup does not mean to kill them all, but to take away their family's merit monument. Without the merit monument, all the clan land left by their family in the underworld will be taken back.
In addition, he was required to replenish the already loose manpower of Yama Luodian in a short period of time as punishment for his unauthorized opening of the gate to the underworld last time.
These two things were enough to give him a headache, but the trouble was that the emperor actually wanted him to find a way to unblock the underworld.
So looking at the huge underworld in front of him, Zongji couldn't be happy at all. At this moment, he even suddenly felt a little envious of the bald Ksitigarbha.
This guy walked away to the present world, completely forgetting all his troubles, and then became a Buddha and an ancestor in the present world with all five elements gone. This is simply a beautiful thing in the world.
Thinking of this, Zongji became angrier and angrier, and even wanted to curse in his heart. When Song Xingxue asked him this question, he even became sullen and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Song Xingxue encountered a weak point, and when he saw this, he didn't dare to speak anymore.
"coming!"
At this time, people in the distance saw a prison carriage coming from a distance. King Taishan and other Yamas were responsible for escorting the prisoners in front of the carriage and escorting them on the road.
Everyone looked around and saw a man sitting cross-legged in a prison car with an iron hood on his head. He couldn't even see his true face.
"Too much!"
"Yes, even if you are expelled from the underworld, there is no need to be like this."
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but become shameless.
Tu Tu's eyes were all terrifying and murderous, which made King Taishan and others in charge of the escort feel numb.
"Everyone, the emperor has issued a decree that outsiders are not allowed to speak to him, others are not allowed to approach the prison car, and items are not allowed to be passed around. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished as a serious crime!"
The Wheel-turning King hurried forward and dictated the emperor's decree.
I was afraid that these people would be irrational and step forward to open the torture instruments for Ksitigarbha.
Behind the carriage, a pair of horse guards were seen rushing up silently and surrounding the prison carriage. Under the cold eyes, their palms were unconsciously placed on the handles of the knives at their waists.
"The Emperor is unfair, we will go to the palace to meet the Emperor!"
Zhong Kui, the leader of the underworld, shouted loudly, looking furious and about to rush to the prison car.
Fortunately, the Northern Ghost Emperor Yang Yun raised his hand and pushed Zhong Kui to the ground.
Just kidding, this is not the way to die.
The hussar guards don't care how strong your head is, if you dare to disobey the emperor's decree, they will directly behead you.
Even if you are the emperor's biological son, there is no exception.
"We have been ordered to hand over here!" Liao Qiu and his people were already waiting at the edge of Huangquan.
"Okay, okay!"
Taishan King and others hurriedly opened the prison car. They did not want to hold this hot potato in their hands for a moment.
Even so, everyone looked at King Taishan and others and did not give them a good look. They complained in their hearts, but escorting Ksitigarbha was the emperor's decree and it was not their turn to bargain.
Liao Qiu originally wanted to step forward to help Pangpang, but as soon as he took a step forward, he was stopped by the hussars guard.
Huo Du, who was riding on a war horse, glanced at Liao Qiu silently.
"What are you doing? I was ordered to take care of it, so you should take care of it too!"
Liao Qiu looked at Huo Dou. It was not unreasonable for him to dare to be so arrogant. The 400,000 Yin soldiers behind him were wearing battle armor and watching every move here.
The amount of black mass is almost endless.
Among the current Five Directions Ghost Emperors, Liao Qiu probably has the most troops and horses.
The power is no less than that of a ghost emperor, so naturally he dares to be so arrogant.
"You just need to follow behind!"
In exchange for the comment about the 400,000 Yin Soldiers, Huo Du only said a cold word, as if these 400,000 Yin Soldiers were nothing more than chickens and dogs in his eyes, vulnerable to a single blow.
After saying that, a group of hussars sandwiched Ksitigarbha in the middle, not giving Liao Qiu and the others a chance to contact them at all.
"grass!"
Seeing this, Liao Qiu couldn't help but say something with a dark face. He cursed and turned around to take the prison car over. At the same time, he took out a set of thick soft cushions from somewhere and spread it on the prison car.
After all, it was still a long way from here to the back door of Huangquan, and Pangpang could sit in it and take a rest on the way. However, just as Liao Qiu got into the prison van and laid out the cushions, he suddenly felt something touch his hand.
My heart suddenly tightened, and I quietly put my hand down and touched it, vaguely groping for a passage engraved on the prison car.
[Heaven and earth will be destroyed, Xiao Yi will suffer the calamity!]
