Daming prepares the emperor

Fengdu was built very large.

Gao Bailing's plan is extremely grand, because the city can be suspended in the air and is not restricted by the terrain, so it is a whole, very wide plane.

With the demon fire ghost building as the center, he distributed the houses round by round, forming a natural maze and formation. However, because there are not enough ghosts and residents, there is a wasteland in the west of the city.

This wasteland is very similar to the Loess Plateau. The terrain between the high mountains is uneven, and there are caves everywhere. The dark clouds caused by ghosts become very thin here, so when the moonlight shines, it is bright, like melted silver flowing in the big land. on the ground.

Nearest to the mouth of a gloomy cave just outside the city walls was a white lantern.

The white lantern scattered some faint light, illuminating a small area on the ground, and the wind whimpered and whimpered, this small piece of light and shadow swayed, as if jumping and dancing.

Zhao Qingya stood at the door watching the wind, while his companions were interrogating the prisoner they had just captured.Before he stood here, Zhu Biao confessed that he would leave for the ghost building in another hour.

At that time, the sun was rising and the yin and yang were alternating. For the ghosts in Fengdu, it was just nightfall, and it was the most suitable time to sneak in to ambush and fight.

"Who are you?" Niutou asked anxiously, impatiently.

Ma Mian stared at Zhu Biao, carefully recalling whether he had seen him. In the past few months, Black and White Impermanence and Zhong Kui did not go out to call for souls. Most of the things were done by him and Niutou. If he couldn’t recall, wouldn’t it mean... …

"Now I have captured you, and if you want to ask questions, I should ask them."

At this time, the two of them were tied by ropes, and they were sitting close together on the ground, and they were tied around the outside by their own golden belts, which were so solid that it was difficult to move them.

Zhu Biao on the opposite side of them used a picked branch as a javelin, and nailed Ji Youfu's head to the rock wall. It penetrated from the forehead and passed through the back of the head, and the blood flew out, splashing the bull's head all over the face. .

Niutou's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to look at Zhu Biao. The blood slid from his nose to his neck, soaking half of his collar. Although the picture was scary, it was a little funny with his blank expression.

"you you……"

How could this kid who was not half as tall as him be so cruel!

Ji Youfu screamed belatedly, struggling to get down, cursing constantly, clamoring for Zhu Biao to let him go quickly, otherwise Zhong Kui would kill him and so on.

It's a pity that no one pays attention to him, his bullshit is just like background music.

"Listen to me first." Zhu Biao said, "During this process, no matter how incredible things you hear, listen to me first, otherwise I will leave you and Ma Mian here."

"Okay, hurry up and say it." The bull head is not afraid of death, and now it finds that it is most afraid of being hung up.

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhao Qingya outside the door, and after confirming the size of the wind, he said, "You know that Gao Bailing is assisting Chen Youliang in the war, right?"

He knows the grown-up?

Niutauma looked at each other and almost screamed, thinking of Zhu Biao's explanation just now, he suppressed the screaming abruptly.

"Who is the person who fought with him, do you know?"

Ma interviewed and asked: "The one called Zhu Yuanzhang, right?"

"Which one is Zhu Yuanzhang?" Niutou whispered, "I don't know him, how do you know?"

"You really, sometimes I suspect that you are a pig demon, Zhu Yuanzhang! Isn't it the Marshal in Yingtian? Haven't we been to Yingtian Mansion, which is the original Jiqing Road."

"Oh——" Niutou remembered that it had indeed been to the vicinity of Yingtian Mansion. Recently, there were a lot of Taoist monks there, so there were not many evil spirits. When the two of them arrived there, there was no ghost to arrest, and they came back after wandering around for a few times. Yes, quite happy.

With such a memory, how much does it have a better impression of Zhu Yuanzhang: "That person seems to be good."

"I am the son of Zhu Yuanzhang." Zhu Biao said.

"what?"

"Then you are alive?"

"Let's not talk about this, Ju Fei, show them things." Zhu Biao didn't answer their questions, but told Ju Fei to take things first.

Ju Fei nodded obediently, and pushed a food box from behind. This was brought out before they set fire to the Taiping building, and was intended to be used as evidence.

The food box was opened, and there were meat and wine in it, which were placed in an orderly manner. Except that it had become cold, it was exactly the same as what was served to the group of evil spirits in the restaurant.

"This is what they refuse to let you eat." Zhu Biao knelt down and pointed to the plate, "This is human flesh."

He pointed to the jug again: "This is human blood."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Niutou forgot his previous promise, and said loudly, "Feng is allowed in and not out, and it is absolutely not allowed to eat and hurt others. How could there be human flesh and blood!"

Zhu Biao was not angry, and said peacefully: "You said it yourself—they can do anything, black and white can frame you for money, why can't they arrest people for money. The two of them can go out, right?" ?”

"This..." Niu Tou was tongue-tied, "No, no, I don't believe it, let me, let me see for myself!"

Its voice was already hoarse, full of fear, and the tongue was in its mouth, trembling uncontrollably, like a bell shaking after being punched.And on its forehead, there were many blue veins, and beads of sweat the size of beans were rolling down from it.

It was terrified. If things were as Zhu Biao said, what had it done over the years?What is the use of its efforts?Isn't this driving backwards!Keep these ghosts outside, at least they are not organized!

The expression on Ma Mian was also shocking, even it was sweating more than the bull's head, it was calmer and sharper, so it had already faintly felt that Zhu Biao was not lying and was telling the truth.

You can see for yourself, sometimes monsters are as stubborn as humans, the truth is already in front of them, and they refuse to recognize the reality.

Zhu Biao directly delivered the things under their noses, this time there was no interference, I don't believe they can't recognize them.

"Really, really..."

"It's really human flesh!"

Niutou couldn't lie to himself anymore, and became distraught.The horse's face was a little better, but only a little bit. It collected itself and forced a voice to ask: "What do you want to do by telling us this?"

"I want to go to the building in the center of the city, and I also want to know the specific situation of Fengdu."

"You want to go in?" Ma Mian said, "Even if you prove that Ji Youfu is eating people in secret, it still can't prove that Black and White Wuchang and Zhong Kui are the same as him! Maybe they just took money and set up a cover for him."

"Is there a difference between playing a cover and actually doing it?"

"..." Ma Mian was silent for a moment, opened his mouth to refute, but closed it again, came back several times, and finally found that he couldn't say anything.

Indeed, it makes no difference at all!

Niutou spoke at this time: "Ma Mian, and that lord! We haven't asked that lord yet!"

Zhu Biao punctured its illusion indifferently, like popping a soap bubble: "Since you admire him so much, you must not deny his strength. Since he is outstanding, how could you not know what Ji Youfu did in Fengdu?" Why? Just a few days before I came here, Gao Bailing just encouraged a black dragon to kill tens of thousands of aquatic animals."

"Tens of thousands?" Niutou spat out the familiar word again, "Impossible! This is impossible!"

"If Gao Bailing really wants to build a hell, at least he should be more careful in selecting officials." Zou Pusheng said slowly, "It's because he only regards Fengdu as a tool to extract yin energy, so that black and white impermanence and Zhong Kui can become corrupted. This is how it looks now."

"My lord is too busy..." Niutou found a reason with difficulty. It didn't believe that Gao Bailing, who brought himself into Fengdu himself, would be a good person.

"I don't think you mentioned that Lord Taishan in your words. I'm afraid he is not a good ghost?" Zhu Biao said, "The Lord Taishan is a virtuous god in ancient mythology. You didn't take it seriously, and you still want to continue to lie to yourself?"

"But maybe that's because he didn't notice..."

"That's enough! Niutou, he's right!" Ma Mian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "You and I should have woken up, the existence of this place was a mistake! The cycle of heaven and earth has its own reason, we are just The most inconspicuous dust under the avenue, why should it tamper with the rules?"

"To live is to live, and to die is to die. Those who are alive should not dream of immortality, and those who are dead should not dream of reincarnation. This is fairness!"

It suddenly seemed to understand something, and Niutou was stunned for a moment. Then, it said to Zhu Biao: "There are five ghost officials in Fengdu City. Apart from me and Niutou, there are black and white impermanence and Zhong Kui, and there is another one." There are more than a thousand patrolling guards who don't come out often, and they all guard the edge of the city wall."

"Where is that building?" Zhu Biao asked quickly.

"That building has no special function, only one thing, as you said, it is used to gather Yin Qi, which is the life gate of the entire city."

"The one who lives on the top floor is the Fujun. He is a thousand-year-old reggae. When the big...Gao Bailing is away, he can use all the yin energy. If you use the lightning needle on the top of the building, there is no such thing in Fengdu City. Where he can't hit."

"As for the flame above..." Ma Mian paused, "I don't know what the flame above does. Gao Bailing didn't explain it to us, nor did Reggae. Zhong Kui might know."

"Are there any guards in the building?"

"There are about dozens of them, all of them are evil spirits." Ma Mian said, "It is said that they are imprisoned there under the personal care of the Lord, but in fact they are the guests of the banquet."

"What?" Niutou, who had been silent all this time but did not stop Ma Mian from speaking, seemed to have been hit head-on, dizzy, and Ma Mian in front of him was divided into several groups, each of which was repeating the word "guest". "Why have you never told me about this?"

Ma Mian avoided its unbelievable gaze: "I'm just afraid that you won't think about it... Anyway, we can't escape from Gao Bailing's hands. If I keep the news from you, you can at least be happy."

"No wonder you two have different attitudes, so you already knew." Ju Fei squatted on Mu Shisan, and concluded, "If you tell it, it doesn't need to be angry."

"I..." Ma Mian stammered, "Anyway, if you want to go into the building, you must be led by ghost officials. If we mess with them now, it is probably useless."

"Is there no other way?"

"No. The inspection is very strict there. A few years ago, there was a ghost who just entered the city and wanted to go out. I don't know how to find the downstairs and went down. He wanted to force his way in. Because he didn't have a certificate, he was hacked to death by Reggae."

The atmosphere fell silent, and the air in the cave seemed to have gained weight, making it difficult for the demons and humans to breathe.Zhu Biao touched the bottle that he asked for from Zhu Yuanzhang before leaving, his expression remained unchanged, but his fingers kept groping for the bottle, not knowing what he was thinking.

"There is still a way." The bull head said.

"Have you thought it through?" Ma Mian asked in surprise.

Only it knows how stubborn Niutou is. After Gao Bailing led it in from the outside and pointed it in a direction, it almost became Gao Bailing's slave. Although its thinking has been hit, there is no real evidence. How can it Will you compromise?

"Think clearly." Niutou said in a low voice, "...I still haven't heard of what you just said."

"Bull head...you, it's not your fault, even if you know, it's impossible to..."

"No, it's possible now!" Niutou said firmly, "I'll tell him how!"

"There is a kiln in the north of the city."

"Yaozi?" Zhu Biao frowned and repeated.

"It's a brothel! These ghosts, even after they die, they still want to whore, so they built a brothel in the north of the city."

"Is there a living person captured in the brothel?"

"No. It's a fox."

"Fox spirit?"

"Yes, there are more than 100 of them." Niutou said, "Let's find the female vixen with the highest morals, she is called Matchmaker, and let her send you in!"
