I guard the world with the Lord of the Underworld

After seeing Hua Qingyao and Ye Chutang leave, Shang Shixu asked, "What riddles are you two playing?"

"Ah? No, I just gave Wen Shang some of my peach wood and asked him to make wooden charms." Lin Xi saw Hua Qingyao leaving and then said, "I'm just afraid that the boss will feel uncomfortable if he finds out."

"I promise, this was not taken from the thighs of Xiaomu." Wen Ci immediately swore.

Shang Shixu's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head helplessly: "Of course I know, don't describe it in such a disgusting way." Hua Qingyao couldn't turn the corner, and there was nothing he could do.

"Be careful when going to the underworld." Shang Shixu said worriedly, "People in the underworld have begun to be vigilant. You must be more careful."

"I know." Wen Ci nodded, "I'm going to take a rest first."

After Wen Ci left, Lu Wensheng saw that Shang Shixu and Lin Xi were still worried, and asked worriedly: "Is it really okay for the boss to go to the underworld?"

"Usually there's no problem." Lin Xi sighed and replied, but she always felt uneasy and panicked.

"There should be no problem." Shang Shixu said, "Boss and the others did not have their souls leave the body."

Lu Wensheng and the others waited anxiously until nine o'clock in the evening.

Hua Qingyao had already prepared everything he needed to prepare. Hua Qingyao arrived at the meeting point on time and told Wen Ci about the general route to the underworld. When everything was finally done, it was almost ten o'clock.

"Let's go." Hua Qingyao stood up and walked out.

"Boss." Lu Wensheng called.

Hua Qingyao turned to look at Lu Wensheng, who solemnly said: "Be careful."

"Buy breakfast and wait for us when we come back." Hua Qingyao waved and walked out.

Ye Chutang and Wen Ci followed. They did not leave the building, but walked towards the end of the corridor.

When he arrived in front of the wall, Hua Qingyao did not pause, but walked in directly, and his whole body sank directly into the wall.

As soon as he entered, Wen Ci felt a chill all over his body.

It was already cold winter, and several people were wearing down jackets. Considering the current weather outside, they would not feel cold while wearing this. But when they got here, Wen Ci couldn't help but shiver.

This kind of cold is not the kind of cold in winter, but the cold that penetrates into the bones.

"Boss." Wen Ci turned to look at Hua Qingyao. It was pitch black all around. How should they go?

"Someone will come to pick us up." Hua Qingyao said calmly. He had naturally contacted him in advance during the days of preparation.

After Hua Qingyao finished speaking, the surroundings were no longer as dark as ink, but had a bit of hazy light.

"Huasuo." A voice suddenly came out, startling Wen Ci. He didn't feel anyone approaching at all. Where did it come from?

Wen Ci followed the voice and looked aside, only to see two people standing over there, one in black robes and the other in white robes, looking at them expressionlessly, the gloomy faces making people's scalp numb.

Hua Qingyao nodded slightly to Black and White Wuchang, and then said politely: "Lead the way."

Black and White Wuchang bowed and led the way.

Obviously he couldn't see anything, but Wen Ci felt that they were walking on an invisible road. He didn't dare to wander around and followed Hua Qingyao obediently.

After walking for a while, Wen Ci approached Hua Qingyao and curiously asked in a low voice: "Boss, why are there no other ghosts?"

He didn't even see the gate of hell, let alone the road to hell.

"This is the VIP channel." Hua Qingyao replied simply and concisely.

Wen Ci had a dark look on his face, "No... there is a VIP passage to the underworld? Do you want to make a reservation in advance?"

Does death have this service now?

"Why don't we make a reservation in advance?" Hua Qingyao rolled his eyes at him, "Otherwise, what are we going to do now?"

Wen Ci was speechless for a while, he really could make an appointment.

The journey was really smooth and we arrived directly at our destination.

Wen Ci looked up and saw the antique mansion in front of him. Is this the underworld?

"Is this the underworld?" Wen Ci asked doubtfully, it was a bit different from the underworld in his impression.

"The residence of the King of Hell," Hua Qingyao said, "What you saw before was the Palace of Hell, which is where the office is located."

After Hua Qingyao finished speaking, he followed Black and White Wuchang in.

After entering, Wen Ci found that there was nothing in the courtyard of the house, it was empty and had a sense of desolation.

However, there is no sunlight in the underworld, and it is always in darkness, which is not suitable for the growth of plants.

Entering the hall, Wen Ci found that all the ten kings of hell had arrived. This meeting was really grand.

Hua Qingyao bowed his hands to the Tenth Palace King of Hell as a greeting, and then sat down directly without ceremony.

"This time it's about the underworld." After Hua Qingyao sat down, he spoke directly and went straight to the topic.

"People from the underworld go to the human world to look for artifacts. Do you know?"

When Hua Qingyao asked his question, strange expressions flashed across the faces of several Hell Kings, and one of them said, "I heard."

Hua Qingyao was not surprised at all. He had expected this situation. After all, the underworld was adjacent to the underworld. It was impossible for the underworld to not notice anything that happened in the underworld.

Hua Qingyao said nothing, waiting for the King of Hell to give him an explanation.

"It's not been a year or two since the underworld was searching for artifacts. They started a long time ago. I'm afraid Hua Suo wasn't born yet." Another King of Hell continued.

When Hua Qingyao heard this, he laughed, "Since the underworld has already taken action, doesn't the underworld have no defense at all? Do you guys want to wait for the underworld to cause trouble and wait for the upper world to send people to deal with it?"

Such irresponsible behavior made Hua Qingyao a little angry.

"Huasuo, it's not that we don't want to deal with it, it's just that... the underworld's capabilities are limited." A king of hell had to explain.

"You also know that the underworld is responsible for collecting ghosts, judging their merits, and sending them to reincarnation. Don't look at this as a powerful person. We also have to abide by the rules."

"People in the underworld have all grown up from killing. The underworld can only deal with evil ghosts, but they are no match for them." The King of Hell in the fifth palace said, "To put it bluntly, there are not many people that the underworld can fight."

Hua Qingyao nodded, he also understood that this was a fact.

"It's just that you can't just leave the underworld alone just because of this, right?" Hua Qingyao frowned, a little unbelievable, "What about the upper realm? Can't they send someone to deal with it?"

Hua Qingyao's question made the Tenth Palace King of Hell smile bitterly.

The King of Hell in the third palace said: "What Hua Zong doesn't know is that the existence of the underworld is even older than the underworld."

"Under the underworld is actually the underworld, the darkest and most filthy place, so why didn't anyone in the upper realm want to clean it up at that time?" Hua Qingyao said about the origin of the underworld, but he didn't quite understand why it wasn't eliminated earlier.

"There was no one in the underworld at the beginning." The King of Hell in the first palace said.

"What? No one?" Hua Qingyao was stunned, what does this mean?

"In the beginning, there were only the lowest and unconscious creatures in the underworld, and no one existed at all. Who knew it would become like this later." The King of Hell continued.

"What's going on?" Hua Qingyao asked, as if he had something inside.

"I've heard about this, and I've never experienced it. It's said..."

Hua Qingyao listened to the King of Hell's story and gained a general understanding of the underworld.
