True Immortal of the Netherworld

The earthquakes of the sacred volcano are over.

Because the circus's residence is at the foot of the mountain, it was completely destroyed by the wildfire caused by the earthquake.

The fat captain's hair was burnt, his clothes had several burnt holes, and his hands had blisters as big as eggs. He looked at the ashes in front of him and wanted to cry without tears.

"Three sheep turned into roasted sheep, all six monkeys ran away, and all the props and tents for the performance were burned by the wildfire. This fire wiped out all the money I had earned over decades of hard work."

At this time, a guy from the circus ran over and said:

"Captain, we finally found you. Except for Yizi, everyone has gathered in a safe area ten miles away. Although a few people were injured, fortunately it was not life-threatening."

The fat captain rolled his eyes at the guy and said:

"It's all burnt down, what's the use of leaving a bunch of people eating for free? The circus is gone, you all get out of here. From today on, I won't care about your meals anymore."

The guy looked aggrieved and said:

"Leader, our salaries have not been paid for three months. Even if the circus is disbanded, each of us should be given some travel expenses home, right?"

The fat captain grabbed the guy’s collar and said:

"Tolls? Tolls to report to the King of Hell? My property was burned down to the point where not even a copper penny is left. Do you think I look like tolls?"

The boy looked at the ashes of the circus station, shook his head, sighed, and could only leave in frustration.

The fat captain became more and more angry as he thought about it, looking at the sacred volcano high above:

"Damn volcanoes, how can they be protected by gods? There is no time for earthquakes, but it happens at this time. Hey, this is life. After decades of hard work, you will burn down to a pauper in one day."

After that, the fat captain rummaged around in the ashes, and it took him a long time to find a half-burnt copper plate. He didn't stop until his head was covered with sweat and his back ached.

"It was so burned that not a single chair was left, and there was no place to sit."

The fat captain put his hands on his hips and breathed heavily.

"That's right! The most valuable tiger and two horses were moved away by Yi Zai first. He skinned the tiger and sold the two horses, and he could get some money." The fat captain's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

Ten miles away, the fat captain found Yi Zai.

Yizi's eyes were like peaches from crying, and he cried again when he saw the group leader.

"Why are you crying? Where are my tiger and two horses? I asked you to run out first, but where did you take the tiger?" the group leader roared.

Yizi obediently led the group leader to the scene of the incident.

In a pit, the tiger was lifeless, its fur burned and completely worthless. The two horses were tied to the overturned cart and were burned to death.

The group leader plopped down on the ground.

"Oh my God! My land! It's all burned down! What will we do for food in the future?"

The fat captain's whole body seemed to have been poked with two holes. His money bag was filled with copper coins, and tears were streaming down his face.

Yi Zai was crying beside him. He knew that the leader had no food to eat, and he had no food to eat either.

The leader's eyes were like knives. He grabbed Yi Zai's collar and cursed angrily: "You're a broken chair, even if I sit on it, it's uncomfortable. Now, the tiger is gone, and the capital is gone."

Yizi plopped down on his knees.

"Captain, you really can't blame me for this. I was driving the carriage all the way away. Who knew that a talking fire demon came down from the mountain, and it ended up like this." The commander curled his lips and used the corners of his eyes. I looked around and cursed in my heart:

"This Yizi is young. He was probably scared out of his wits by the mountain fire. How can there be a fire demon? If a fire demon really comes, I won't eat him first. If I strangle this little bastard to death, my tiger will be gone. It would be better to..."

The group leader walked in front, followed by Yizi.

A few days later, the two came to a small town.

"Yizai, you followed me for five more days to eat and drink for nothing. You saw, along the way I even pawned a piece of jade pendant I wore close to my body in exchange for a few meals. You follow me, you won't be full. ”

"Master, please don't abandon Yizi. You said that I am your chair. Wherever you go, I will follow you."

"Yi Zai, you have been working with me in the circus since you were three years old. You only know how to train animals and perform as clowns. Now that the circus is gone, what else can you do?"

"This?" Yizi thought for a while, he really didn't know any other way to make money.

"Now, it's hard for me to even have enough food for myself. You can only starve if you follow me." The fat captain patted his big belly.

"I can skip one meal a day." Yizi said obediently.

"Do you know why I brought you to this unknown town?" the leader asked.

"I don't know." Yi Zai shook his head and grumbled, his stomach growling with hunger.

"This is a designated town for recruiting apprentices to the Sacrifice Palace under the Palace of the Rooster. Being an apprentice in the Sacrifice Palace will provide you with food, accommodation, and food. You have been with me for five years, and I can't throw you to the roadside. Are you going to be a beggar? I signed up for you," the group leader explained.

"Captain, thank you for your care. Without you, I might have starved to death a long time ago." After hearing that he was full, Yizi nodded in confusion and shed tears of gratitude.

"I'll send it to you early tomorrow morning. All you have to do now is sleep well and be energetic." The group leader patted Yi Zai on the shoulder.

...

The next day, Yizi was sent by the fat captain to be an apprentice in the "Sacrifice Palace".

The fat group leader took a large amount of "pension money" from the "Sacrifice Palace", which was actually Yi Zai's money for selling himself. Because, as a servant of the Sacrifice Palace, one cannot leave for the rest of his life, cannot get married, and is doomed to die alone.

After getting the money, the fat captain left without saying goodbye. Yizi never saw the good man who bought him and gave him food again.

Yizi was taken to the apprentice class of the Sacrifice Palace by a mysterious man wearing a black robe.

In the apprentice class, Yizi learned special sacrificial rituals and had to recite many scriptures about sacrificial rituals.

Yi Zisheng has two faces and two brains. He can learn things much faster than others. In the originally three-year semester, Yizi passed all the "academic" assessments in just one year.

Yizi, who was only nine years old, became an attendant of the "Sacrifice Palace" and was assigned to work in the outer hall.

"Your name is Yizi, right?" the deacon of the outer hall asked, holding the roster.

"Yes, Mr. Deacon, my name is Yizi, and I have been studying in the apprentice class for one year."

"It's not easy for you to graduate from the apprenticeship class when you are only nine years old. I graduated from the apprenticeship class when I was twelve years old, and I have been working here for thirty years. Good job working here. , you can eat well. If you don't do it well, you will not be protected, so you have to remember." The deacon made a serious gesture of wiping his neck.

"Thank you, Mr. Deacon, for your teaching. Yizi took note of it." Yizi subconsciously touched his neck with his hand, which was still warm.

This sacrificial palace is directly managed by the Zhuanlun Palace, one of the ten palaces in the underworld, and is a place specifically responsible for sacrificial offerings.

The sacrificial palace is divided into an outer hall and an inner hall. The outer hall stores the sacred fire for sacrifice. The inner hall is quite mysterious, and only Pluto-level figures can enter.

In the outer hall of the sacrificial palace, Yizi wears a black robe. In addition to cleaning every day, his main job is to recite scriptures.

This day is an important day for the entire Sacrifice Palace. Because the legendary big man, Lord Pluto of the Zhuanlun Palace, is coming here to offer sacrifices.

The waiters in the sacrificial palace all lowered their heads, and no one dared to look up at Lord Pluto.

Yizi was also waiting on the side. He saw with his own eyes the back of Lord Hades entering the inner hall of the Sacrifice Palace.

"Huh? This Master Pluto actually has a circular black and white mark on the back of his neck." Yizi suddenly thought of something, because he also had the same black and white mark on his neck.

The questions that Yi Zai had buried in his heart for many years suddenly burst out at this moment.

"Where did I come from? Who am I? Who are my parents?" Yizi had hope in his heart that the supreme Lord Pluto might know his origins.

"We must find an opportunity to talk to Mr. Pluto, even just one sentence. But Mr. Pluto entered the inner hall. The other waiters and I could only take turns guarding the door, and there was no chance to enter the inner hall." Yizi. I have some ideas in my mind.

On the fifth night after Lord Hades entered the inner hall.

Yizi and six other waiters are on duty.

"Is there a smell?"

"Did you fart? It really stinks."

"It's not me, I didn't fart, you farted."

"Someone must have farted."

The waiters held their noses with their hands.

Yi Zai was born without a sense of smell and could not smell, but he still imitated other people and pinched his nose with his hands.

But Yi Zai discovered that there were some things that he couldn't learn.

Because several other waiters had already begun to bleed from their orifices and soon fell to the ground.

Yizi ran over, checked one after another, and found that several people had died.

Boom!

A loud sound came from the inner hall and was transmitted through the door. A gap opened in the originally closed door.

Yi Zai looked at the half-open door, his heart beating fast.

"This is not an ordinary odor, it must be a poisonous gas. It came from the inner hall, and an accident happened in the inner hall. According to the regulations of the Sacrifice Palace, Lord Pluto must not be disturbed if anything happens in the inner hall. Now, other Several waiters are dead, and I am the only living person here. I am born without a sense of smell, and this poisonous gas seems to have no effect on me."

Yizi carefully approached the door and looked inside through the crack in the door.

The inner sanctum, a mysterious place.

Through the crack in the door, Yizi saw a person lying on the empty floor of the inner hall.

It was Lord Hades who was wearing a black and white dragon pattern robe and fell to the ground.

"Is Master Pluto also poisoned? This is my only chance. If I can save Master Pluto, maybe I can ask him a question about the mark on my neck, where did I come from?"

Yizi used all his strength and pushed the door hard with both hands.

Creaking, creaking, the crack in the inner hall door widened little by little.

"The door to the inner hall is so heavy."

Yizi dodged and his thin body slipped in through the crack in the door. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thanks
