The whole world knows that I crossed

Qiao Wen felt that the ghost lamp mentioned by Ba Wei and the ghost lamp he knew should be the same person.

After all, he is "the assistant officer of King Yan Mo, the devil of hell" :)

It's just that, if the hell here is a world view that incorporates ghost lamps, an existence like Bawei who is both a monster and an angel should be a different concept from the "living" in the definition of hell-the "living" in the definition of hell. The "living" actually refers to human beings, and the existence of monsters, gods, immortals, and beasts, which are different from living people, are not counted in the ranks of "living". A legal way to hell.

So what happened to the "taboo" Bawei mentioned earlier?

If he could use a more reasonable method to enter hell, why did he go to the Lord of the Kingdom for help, and then was caught by the ghost lamp as a "violation" of his method of entering hell, which finally made him temporarily unable to return to the present world?

The more Qiao Wen thought about it, the more confused he felt in his mind.

He didn't think about it at all, and directly expressed his doubts to Ba Wei.

Yaohu said, "So you are thinking about these questions":

"Didn't you listen to me carefully? Hell and Huangquan seem to refer to the same existence, but they are not the same at all."

Under Qiao Wen's dazed gaze, Yaohu sat up straight with a solemn expression:

"Forget it, I thought you were still young (Qiao Wen:???), and you wouldn't have any chance to deal with hell in a short time. When I popularized common sense for you, I picked more important things first, and didn't say anything about it. Hell, it would be a good time to take this opportunity to tell you more about it."

Bawei put on a standard storytelling (?) posture of "it's a long story, just listen to me slowly".

"First of all, Hell and Yellow Springs are not exactly the same in essence—hell is included in Yellow Springs, but not all areas in Yellow Springs are 'hells'."

"In fact, the 'hell' under the jurisdiction of the ten Yan Mo halls that govern the entire hell is only a part of Huangquan, and the remaining part is not under the jurisdiction of hell because it has not been fully developed."

"So, although they both belong to Huangquan, because of the promise of Izanami, the goddess who rules Huangquan, Hell has implemented a set of rules different from other Huangquan areas, that is, the existence of gods, immortals, beasts and monsters Excluded from the definition of 'living', if necessary, you can enter hell through specific channels, such an approach will not violate the taboo of 'the living should not enter'."

But in the "Yellow Spring" area that does not belong to hell, the definition of "living" will be enlarged to the broadest category - from gods to insects, only those who have life are the so-called living.

Therefore, even a big monster like Bawei, as long as he is defined as a living person, is not allowed to enter the underworld at will, unless he enters the underworld through the official channel of the gods as an envoy, so as to avoid touching taboos.

And when it comes to why the gods can have such a "privilege"...

"That's because some of the gods in Gaotianyuan—of course not all—reached a certain tacit agreement with hell, so they got the special permission of the beautiful goddess Izanah who rules Huangquan, so that some of them can pass Specific gods use special passages to enter the underworld, and in this way can get the protection of the beauty goddess Izanah, so as to avoid touching the taboo of "the living should not enter" in the underworld."

But to open such a channel, according to the normal procedure, it is necessary to obtain the permission of the beauty goddess Izan in advance, that is, to hand in the so-called "visit sticker".

If you don’t go through this procedure, generally speaking, if you don’t get caught by the beauty goddess Izanah herself, then there is no danger, so many gods will secretly open a passage to hell’s Flower Street (?) to play, and There will be no greeting cards at all.

After all, the beauty goddess Izanah is still very busy (at home), and she doesn't have so much free time on weekdays. She always stares at the actions of this group of stupid gods who don't think about making progress and only know about having fun. The attitude of these gods is to turn a blind eye and close one eye, as if they don't know that they have entered the underworld in violation of the regulations, and loosen their fingers to let them pass.

And the reason why Ba Wei chose to use the identity of a divine envoy instead of a monster to obtain the qualification to enter the realm of the underworld through this special channel for gods, instead of entering the realm of hell through a more convenient and quick way without requiring help from others, is that because--

"My original plan was to go into the Underworld, to the place where the body of Eluo King is sealed, to check whether his body is still preserved there."

Ba Wei finally told the reason why he entered the underworld.

"If I just go to 'hell', I can't achieve my purpose at all."

Therefore, he could only ask the Lord of the Kingdom for help, asking him to help open the channel dedicated to the gods.

But he didn't expect that he had just passed the entrance of the passage on the side of the great king, and his feet hadn't even landed on the land of Huangquan, when he heard a sound that was not familiar to him, but somehow it impressed him very deeply, as if he had heard it once. The low and magnetic male voice, as if it had penetrated deeply into his mind, sounded from a place very close to him, with a bit of unexplained interest:

"Oh? Look what I found?"

Bawei: .........

"—Unfavorable start!" Yaohu looked resentful.

"The assistant officer of Yan Mo Dawang didn't stay and work in Yan Mo Palace, what did he do in the uninhabited Huangquan wasteland! Does he have that much free time?!"

Of course, the ghost lamp is not so idle.

"Isn't this Mr. Mikage's Ba Wei-kun?" Wearing a black and red kimono, with ghost horns on his head, he looks gentle and handsome, but he is holding a huge black mace that has nothing to do with elegance in his hand. Mr. Assistant Officer's tone was flat, showing no surprise at all.

It was as if he had already guessed that Bawei would appear in this place at this very moment, and he had no intention of hiding it at all.

"Do you need to visit hell for something? Business? Visiting friends? Or is it just for fun?"

Ignoring Bawei's dark face, Ghost Lamp talked to himself in a tone that didn't fluctuate too much.

"Hell doesn't seem to have received your application for entry... Ah, speaking of which, Izanami's side also said that they didn't receive any visit posts at all, but someone opened the passage privately and went to Chaos and Disorder. , The Huangquan wasteland that is not under the jurisdiction of our hell."

His Excellency, the assistant officer of King Yan Mo, spoke solemnly the lines that neither he nor Ba Wei, the only two present, believed.

"This is too dangerous. For your safety, why don't you return to Hell with me as soon as possible? Lord Bawei?"

Although it was in a discussing tone, Ghost Lantern weighed the gleaming mace in his hand twice as he said this. At a certain moment, Bawei recalled how he saw this mace with his own eyes. He smashed the head of a certain divine beast hard, and then seemed to fly the opponent into a shooting star in the sky without any effort...

Even the big monster, the fox Bawei, who once made a big fuss in the Dragon Palace, flew over the Izumo gods, and fought against the world for life and death, the fox Bawei, at this moment, couldn't help shivering, as if feeling a long-lost coolness, coming from Tianlinggai He burrowed into his body, until the cold went down to the soles of his feet...

"...So you were honestly taken back to hell in the end?"

Qiao Wen couldn't believe that such a well-behaved and obedient person could be the Bawei he knew!

The demon fox drooped its ears and looked gloomy, "What can I do!" He beat Qiao Wen's palm with the soft hands of the doll's body, "That guy has no magic tricks and is extremely powerful. My Foxfire can do nothing against him! And his mace..."

Speaking of this, Bawei paused for two seconds, showing a pale smile that was beyond love——

"I don't want to be a fox cake..."

The puppet muttered, and Xiaoyuan's face puffed up again, looking aggrieved and extremely cute...

Qiao Wen couldn't help reaching out and rubbing him.

"Okay... there is no other way..."

After all, it is a ghost lamp!Hell's first shake S!When the aura is fully open, even his own boss, King Yan Mo, who is the ruler of hell, can easily kill the wolf. Although Bawei also has an S-shaking side, to be honest, his S-shaking level is really worse than that of ghost lamps. It's a little bit of a big deal.

Not to mention that Ba Wei was wronged in the first place!

The matter of privately opening a channel into hell/the underworld without submitting the worship post was originally a small tacit understanding between the god who violated the rules and the beauty goddess Izanah. Willing to accept the punishment - a guy who doesn't even have this kind of awareness, dare not operate in violation of the rules at all!

Moreover, Qiao Wen felt that the reason why the ghost lamp appeared so precisely at Bawei's foothold and caught him as soon as he entered the underworld, was probably inspired by the beautiful goddess Izanah——

"Maybe the goddess noticed something?"

he guessed.

"Speaking of which, what is the attitude of Hell towards King Eluo?"

Bawei thought for a while and replied:

"A laissez-faire attitude, right? I heard that when the body of Eluo King was sealed into the underworld, the beautiful goddess Izanah didn't show up, but she complained through the mouth of the ghost lamp, saying, 'Everything is stuffed into me. ! Is my Huangquan the garbage dump of their Gao Tianyuan?!' or something like that..."

……Uh.

It seems that the goddess still harbors resentment towards her husband Izanaki who abandoned her in Huangquan.

But it's not difficult to understand. The person who said affectionately one second ago that I can't let you die and I want to take you away, the next second sees his wife's miserable appearance after being contaminated by the breath of the underworld. The reaction was not pity and heartache, but turning around and fleeing because of being too scared and unacceptable...

Such behavior deserves to be called a "scumbag" no matter what. As a wife who was abandoned without hesitation, Izanami really has too much reason to resent her husband.

Not to mention that although she resents the gods of Gao Tianyuan who support her husband, she is still willing to allow some of them to freely enter the underworld. To be honest, as a great god with a very high personality, she is already very good-tempered like this , so it is not incomprehensible to say such words when you are extremely angry.

"So the goddess herself doesn't mind that King Eluo's body is taken away from the underworld, or is visited by his former friends... right?"

Qiao Wen continued to talk about his speculation.

"In this way, there is no need for her to prevent you from checking whether the body of E Luo Wang is still in its original place, and whether there is any accident?"

After all, the Goddess doesn't care about the Eluo King at all, she just treats him as a large piece of garbage that was forced into the underworld (...).

But now, the goddess let the ghost lamp bring Ba Wei back to hell, and put him under house arrest in a disguised form. Not only did he not allow him to check the condition of E Luo Wang's body, he was even not allowed to return to the present world...

"It sounds like the goddess has her own thoughts, so she's just taking advantage of the situation..."

But what Qiao Wen couldn't figure out was that, according to the character set in the ghost lamp world view, Izanah's beautiful goddess is different from the setting in many other stories. She is the type who has no interest in foreign affairs. thing?

"Perhaps something else is happening that we don't know about. The goddess is planning for a rainy day?"

"That's not something we can judge."

Bawei shook his head.

"Anyway, now you know where I am and why I can't go back in the short term. It's not your job to intervene in the future, so come here."

The demon fox said, looking up at Qiao Wen.

"I'm doing pretty well in hell, except that I can't leave for the time being, there's nothing wrong with it..."

——Of course, being forcibly "entrusted" with work does not count.

So, don't take any chances and don't do anything irrational.

Ba Wei was warning Qiao Wen in this way.

however……

The human youth looked at him for a while, and then smiled——

"But, I still want to welcome the New Year with you..."

He said with a smile.

The author has something to say: Qiao Wen: It's time to make trouble again! =w=

Bawei: ...Hi!Listen to me carefully, bastard!

Ghost Lantern: Oh, welcome. [stick read

...I always feel that there is something wrong with this development [touch chin
