When Pu Xiaoding woke up, the mountain city was even more chaotic than before.

People who stayed up all night smelled the breath of death, and their emotions were collapsing at an accelerated rate.

At this moment, the joy of participating in the Treasure Hunting Conference could no longer be seen on the faces of the various families, replaced by anxiety.People who are weak and weak in mood cry endlessly.Their cries aroused the rage of the ill-tempered, who led to violent fights.

The planners did not take any further action, but the conflicts in the city were intensifying. No one could turn the tide and quickly suppress the fierce conflicts.

Right now, the people in Gunshan City are not only facing tense and depressed emotions, but another difficult problem is spreading rapidly.

It was supposed to be the time to deliver fresh food, but the shopkeeper knocked on Pu Xiaoding's door and brought bad news: "The ingredients in the kitchen have been looted, and there are not many left."

In the next period of time, even if the inn intends to provide sufficient food, it will be more than enough.What's more, people like Ah Jiu and the others have a huge daily food demand, and they can't supply it at all.

If Ah Jiu and the others were still given food according to the previous quantity, the inn would not be able to bear it at all.

The shopkeeper showed embarrassment, he took out the silver and returned it to Ah Jiu.However, Ah Jiu didn't accept it, he said: "You keep it, you don't need to bring food over in the future."

Ah Jiu is well aware of the plight of the mountain city. When Yinliang can no longer buy food, the survival of the shopkeepers will be more difficult than Ah Jiu and the others.

There is nothing wrong with the shopkeeper leaving some food to save his life.It won't be long before the situation in Gunshan City will become more bloody and cruel.

At this moment, people in the city still have food to grab, and those who are not afraid of death can venture out of the city to find food in the mountains and forests.The wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains are enough for them to last for a while.

But next, what should I do if I am trapped for a longer and longer time?The mountains and forests are infested with black air, wild vegetables and fruits and wild animals in the mountains become inedible, so what should we do?I can't even imagine the consequences of not having food.

Pu Xiaoding and the others no longer provided food from the inn, nor did they go out to grab food.Pu Xiaoding took out the pastries in the small cloth bag, and he distributed food to everyone according to the usual portion.

Da Piao looked at his father hesitantly, then at the rock squirrel, and he gently rubbed the back of his father's hand.Da Piao stopped eating after a few mouthfuls, and pushed the remaining food to Pu Xiaoding.

Daddy, the food is saved.

Eat a little less now, and have food later.

Pu Xiaoding touched Dapiao distressedly: "Don't worry, you can eat at ease, Daddy has a lot of food here."

Even if the day comes when there is a shortage of food, Pu Xiaoding will give Da Piao all his portion.Dandelion has strong vitality, it is not so easy to die, and it can persist for a long time with a little water.He was reluctant to part with the unformed Da Piao, who was hungry at a young age.

The division of labor between Pu Xiaoding's small cloth bag and small ginseng is different.The small ginseng pocket is full of medicinal materials, while Pu Xiaoding has a lot of ingredients here, plus the rock squirrels who always like to store food, they can last for a long time.

They were trapped in the mountain city for several days and months, and maybe no one would notice.But after a long time, years or decades, someone will always notice the strangeness of the mountain city, and when the time comes, someone will try to save them outside.

Of course, the premise is that they can resist the strangulation of the organizers and persist until then.

Pu Xiaoding has a lot of food in his pocket, but he has no intention of giving it away generously.Ah Jiu told him that no matter how much food they had, they couldn't support everyone in the mountain city, they couldn't afford it.

No one is sure how long the siege will last.

What's more, if the money is not exposed, in the trapped mountain city, food is more important than money, and the competition for food will intensify.

It was just the beginning, and the situation was already so chaotic. From what the shopkeeper said, it was not difficult to know that these people were robbing food. Once the news that Pu Xiaoding and the others had food came out, they would definitely become the target of public criticism.

People's hearts are the most difficult to figure out.

Ah Jiu will not test people's hearts easily, unless he wants to gamble his life.

In the following days, in the room where Pu Xiaoding and the others lived, Ah Jiu strengthened the defense again.

The racial differences of different levels of strength were quickly revealed.No matter how low-key Ah Jiu and the others are, they still have the need to show their strength.They don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but they want to prevent certain people from staring at them again and again.

Since entering the mountain city, their room has always focused on protection, and the methods are relatively mild.The people who came could not open the door without their consent.

But now, simple defense is not enough. Many people have some bad thoughts about their neatly dressed and living as usual family.

Ah Jiu knew that it was time to show her aggressive side.If anyone tries to force their way into the house again, they will be immediately drawn away by an ice-blue cold light.

The chaotic mountain city showed a domineering side, which brought obvious benefits, and the number of people watching Pu Xiaoding and his room was greatly reduced.

They realize that this family is not easy to mess with and is not strong enough, so it is best not to get close to this family.

Some people who were unwilling to give up wanted to pry open the doors and windows and vacate the room while Ah Jiu and the others were going out.

It's a pity that even if Ah Jiu and the others were not in the house, these people still couldn't enter the house. Instead, they were sent further away by the icy blue light and were injured more seriously.Ah Jiu wanted to let these people know that the attack would be even more terrifying if they were not in the room.

These people have been beaten more, and their desire to rob will naturally decrease.As for other people with good strength, their thoughts on cooperating with Ah Jiu have increased.

Fighting for food cannot solve the problem, the best way is to untie the shackles of the mountain city.

During the period, a young woman who could eat came over. Her condition didn't change much. She also kindly reminded Pu Xiaoding and the others: "The food in the mountains is still edible, so you can save some."

She had already had a premonition that even though the current situation was chaotic, it was not a truly terrifying moment, and the most severe test was coming.

Yue Lin woke up once, and he stared quietly at the mountain city for a long time.He sighed and shook his head, confused.

Everyone in the world says that hell is terrible, but they don't know that there are some scenes in the world that are more terrible than hell.

He hasn't been to hell yet, but he has seen hell.

The owner of a wealthy family in the city kindly distributed food. Unexpectedly, countless people rushed into his house. Not only did they rob all the food, they also kidnapped several young female relatives of the family.

Afterwards, this family was even infamous. Many people accused these rich people of being vicious.

The knocked down door, the weeping of the old and the weak, women and children, chilled so many hearts that were once fiery.

Pu Xiaoding hid his figure and walked into the family's house.

Da Piao said to Pu Xiaoding, Dad, I'm not hungry, how about giving these food to them.

Afterwards, Pu Xiaoding and Ajiu walked around the city. The bustling mountain city was already so strange and terrifying that even the gentle breeze was tainted with the smell of blood.

Pu Xiaoding looked at the messy mountain city, where they looked like when they came: "Ah Jiu, this place is really scary."

This place is obviously not a hell, but there are more shocking scenes than the [-]th floor of hell.

When Pu Xiaoding and the others walked through the street, he clearly felt that there were countless malicious eyes falling on them in the dark.The sight that was more dangerous than the cold murderous intent made Pu Xiaoding shudder.

Da Piao and Rock Squirrel have lost the mood to go out and play for a while, the house is stuffy, and the street is even more stuffy.Da Piao listlessly followed Pu Xiaoding back to the inn room.

There were not many guests living in the inn at this time. Even though many people knew that it would be more dangerous to walk out of the protection of the city wall, they knew that there were terrifying monsters in the fog, but they still chose to go out.

Those who left never came back, and those who stayed in the city showed endless hatred and despair.

Ah Jiu looked at the emotional threads floating up to the sky from all directions, and these painful breaths merged with the black air outside.What the layouter wants is not only the death of these people, but also the emotions that these people struggled with before death.

I don't want to die, I want to live desperately.

But I hate myself for not being able to live longer.

Ah Jiu glanced at the crushed black jade, the news had already reached King Qin Guang.King Qin Guang wanted to come here, so he should have arrived, but so far, Ah Jiu has not received any news.

Whether King Qin Guang lied to them, or King Qin Guang had an accident, the result is the same.There is no one to help them in the underworld, so they can only find a way to break the situation by themselves.

When Ah Jiu compared the situation of the Five Elements Array, Pu Xiaoding sat beside him and read a book.

Pu Xiaoding first flipped through a few books related to the Five Elements, but he was so dizzy that he couldn't understand the deep meaning.Breaking the barrier of the five elements is the direction of Ah Jiu's thinking. Pu Xiaoding is willing to contribute, but unfortunately he really can't understand.

After that, Pu Xiaoding picked up another book called "Underworld".

Pu Xiaoding stared at the title of the book in a daze, they bought a lot of books on folklore, Pu Xiaoding didn't remember whether they bought this one or not.

The content of this book is consistent with its name, introducing the general situation of the underworld.First is the Ghost Emperor, and then the ten Kings of Hades in the Palace of Hades.

The ghost emperor doesn't often ask about trifles in the underworld, and all daily affairs are left to the king of Hades in the Ten Palaces.Hades of the ten halls encountered a difficult problem that he could not solve, and then told the ghost emperor, and the ghost emperor made a decision.

The king of Hades in the first hall was originally the emperor of Yama.Emperor Yan Luo took pity on those who died unjustly, and he released the unjust souls and returned to the world to seek justice, so he was punished.

The Son of Heaven descended to the fifth hall, and there is a hometown-looking platform in the fifth hall, where ghosts can see their hometown and their living relatives from afar, so that these ghosts will no longer cry in the underworld.

The emperor Yan Luo arrived at the fifth hall. After that, the king of Yama who was in charge of the first hall was King Qin Guang.King Qin Guang is in charge of the life and death of the world, and the first hall is connected to Huangquan Road to guide ghosts to the underworld.

There is a mirror in the first hall, named Nieyuantai, also known as Karma Mirror, good and evil merits and demerits cannot be hidden in front of Nieyuantai.The good ones go to the tenth hall, and the wheel-turning king is responsible for sending them into reincarnation.The evil ones and those with karma will be sent to other temples to receive their due punishment.

Each Yama is in charge of a large hell, which is divided into sixteen small hells, which are used to cleanse the karma of the ghosts themselves.

Eventually, these ghosts came to the Tenth Temple.The so-called fate of life and death, wealth and honor in the sky, who is reincarnated, and where is reincarnated, these choices are the responsibility of the wheel-turning king.

Pu Xiaoding watched seriously, he didn't realize that Ah Jiu's eyes fell on his hands.Ah Jiu roughly scanned the contents of that page, his eyebrows raised slightly.

They bought a lot of books, and there were more absurd and unreliable books, but the book Pu Xiaoding was reading strangely exuded a little atmosphere of the underworld.

Where did this book come from?

If Pu Xiaoding hadn't opened the book, Ah Jiu would have overlooked the nuances of the book.

The aura hidden in this book seemed familiar. In the past, they helped a child in a small town.The other party gave them two cordyceps as a gift, and the cordyceps stayed with the little ginseng.

The smell of books has nothing to do with Cordyceps, but another person they had contacted at that time, that young monk, Puji.

When Lang Dong and the others left, didn't they take all of Monk Puji's books with them?Why did one book appear here in Pu Xiaoding.

Ah Jiu's gaze stayed on the book for a while, and then continued to think about how to break the formation.

Pu Xiaoding continued to read the book.

After the Ten Palaces of Hades, there is a ghost messenger.Most of the little ghosts, they are not well-known, but some ghosts are well-known to the world, such as black and white impermanence and bull head and horse face.

In addition, under the Ten Temples of Hades, there are also four judges, the Department of Rewarding Good, the Department of Punishment, the Department of Prosecution and the Department of Yin Law.

Judge Cui of the Yinlu Department, he is a well-known figure in the Yincao Difu, and he holds half a dead book in his hand.

Pu Xiaoding watched for a while, and he couldn't help calling Ah Jiu: "Ah Jiu, in the Underworld, besides the King of Hades and the Emperor of Ghosts, there is also a Ksitigarbha King, he is very powerful."

Hearing this, Ah Jiu suddenly realized something.He finally realized that there was something wrong with King Qin Guang telling him those things.

King Qin Guang told Ah Jiu and the others that the puppet clan targeted the underworld to rob life and death.The layout of the puppet family was discovered by Wu Chen who went to the underworld, and then the ghost emperor shot and killed several puppet sons, smashing the puppet family's plot.

Ksitigarbha has been saving ghosts in the hells. He once said: "The hells are not empty. If you don't swear to become a Buddha, you can only prove Bodhi if you save all living beings."

Since there is Ksitigarbha, how could he not be aware of the plot of the puppet clan.At that time, someone held back Ksitigarbha King first, and then the ghost emperor had an accident.

Had it not been for Pu Xiaoding's reminder just now, Ah Jiu had almost forgotten that besides the King of Hades and the Ghost Emperor, there was this one.

The strength of the underworld is not low, right now, can't the underworld send a person to the mountain city to help them?

So many people died innocently in the mountain city, King Qin Guang, who lived in the first hall, must bear the punishment.

If these ghosts have not been able to go to the underworld and be stolen and used by others, maybe King Qin Guang's position in the first hall will not be secure.

On the other side, She Rong and the others hurried back to the village, and they saw the little girl outside the village.According to Ah Jiu's instructions, She Rong gave the box to the little girl.

The little girl looked at Sherong warily, and her gaze swept over the monk Puji who was returning to the village with Sherong and the others.In hell, there was an old monk who refused to leave. He recited scriptures every day, which caused her a headache. She hated the monk very much.

The little girl carefully discerned the power emanating from the box. This power carried the atmosphere of the underworld, and it was the power she was familiar with, coming from King Qin Guang.

The material of the box is taken from the underworld, and the method of opening the box is also unique to the underworld, and it is engraved with a code that the little girl is familiar with.This is indeed the box for her.

The little girl weighed it for a while, and she finally opened the box.The moment she saw the contents of the box clearly, her expression changed drastically.She quickly closed the lid of the box, carefully resealed it, and then carefully placed it next to her body.

Her eyes swept over the people in front of her, and finally pressed the killing intent.

The little girl's breath became calm, she seemed to have made up her mind, and walked towards Huacun, she was about to enter the village.

She had just walked a few steps, when she saw She Rong's vigilance, she snorted dissatisfiedly: "I want to trouble them, they are already dead. Now I just want to go in and have a look."

After that, a difficult task awaits her.

She has a lot of grudges, especially toward her father.

However, now is not the time to vent resentment.If something happened to the underworld, King Qin Guang can entrust him with a heavy responsibility. The person who sent this thing is not the enemy of the underworld.Private matters are private matters, and major matters are major matters.

The ones in the box are half raw.

Since the last accident in the underworld, and since the whereabouts of the Ghost Emperor disappeared, King Qin Guang has been thinking about how to protect Shengbo.Now, the raw book is divided into two by special means. When one half is damaged, it will disappear in the blink of an eye, and the other half will then turn into a complete raw book.

At this moment, King Qin Guang has half, and the little girl has half.If something unexpected happens to King Qin Guang, she will be here with complete ignorance.

Although the ghost emperor is not around, she is still the ghost emperor's daughter. Now that something happened in the underworld, she should shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Before her father returns, or until the next ghost emperor is elected, she must protect the treasure of the underworld and prevent anyone from taking it away.

There is no door to hell, since these people insist on breaking in, they will stay in the endless hell forever, and no one can escape.

The author has something to say: Pu Xiaoding: Distressed, Ajiu, if things go on like this, Da Piao will starve

A partner: I'm trying to figure out a way
