Netherworld Chapter 133: The Underworld (6)
Without the Tao, you cannot become an immortal. The old Taoist priest said solemnly: Even if you have good fortune, it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath. Ghosts and gods are not something we can mess with.
The undertaker chuckled and said, "That may not be the case. Now that the world has turned around and everything is sealed in stone, it is the best time. From ancient times to the present, there has probably never been a more suitable day than now."
The Emperor of Heaven will not be resurrected, you are using the Emperor's veins. The old Taoist priest suddenly came to this conclusion.
The undertaker seemed to shake his head in the distance and said: "The master is only half right. The plan is of great importance to me. If the fiefdom cannot escape, the world cannot be restored. Therefore, the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven is imperative."
It seems that the person you are talking about is helping the Emperor. The old Taoist asked: I really want to know who is the person that makes you so cautious.
Oh? This time, the undertaker uttered a surprised voice: How did the master know that we were concerned about that person?
You are waiting for the opportunity here, and the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven is led by that person, which shows that you trust him very much. And your plan is being implemented, there is no need to hide anything from me. But when talking about this person, whether it is Gamu, Wei Qingcang, or you, you are unwilling to reveal the true identity of that person. Obviously, you have many concerns. This concern is not that you need to hide it, but that person's identity makes you wary. It can be said that his existence is crucial to whether your plan can be fully implemented. Therefore, you will do whatever he asks.
Although the old Taoist's analysis did not seem to make sense at first, when you think about it carefully, from the various details, it seems to be exactly the same as what he said.
At this last moment, even though he was not at the scene, the undertaker was still unwilling to reveal his identity. This shows that the undertaker was indeed wary of him.
What the master said is right. That person does make me feel uneasy, but his identity is not something that cannot be revealed. It is that he asked you to know it when he needs you to know it. Before that, he does not want you to know his identity. The undertaker replied: But there is one thing that the master said is very correct. He is very important to my plan. Therefore, he asked you to be here, so I must keep you here.
The old Taoist was silent for a while, then looked at Wei Qingcang: "I don't see how this plan will benefit the Tianshi Clan. If he really succeeds, I'm afraid he won't share the power with you."
Wei Qingcang smiled and said: "Master, you don't have to say these words. Since we have participated, we will naturally implement it thoroughly. Otherwise, why would my Tianshimai pay such a high price ? What's more, our main purpose is not power. Specifically, I can't tell you the secrets of Tianshimai."
The old Taoist looked at Wei Qingcang and finally said nothing more. He just stood there quietly.
There are five of us in the hall, including me.
It was strange to be in this underworld palace. I opened my mouth to speak, but I didn't know what to say.
Gamu, who was standing next to me, suddenly laughed and said: "Brother, if you want to say something, just say it directly. We will have to wait for a long time."
I groaned, thought for a moment, and asked: Didn't five people escape from the Heavenly Corpse Vein? Excluding the one who lied and reported the incident, where are the other two?
Gamu was a little surprised by this question. He laughed and said, "So that's what you're asking. Patriarch Zhong and Patriarch Yuwen are not here. As for what they are doing, I can't tell you."
Well... I shrugged indifferently. Actually, that's not what I wanted to ask. I was just a little nervous and didn't know what to say.
After a while, I thought of another question: How long do we have to wait here?
When I asked this, I glanced at the undertaker. He had been standing behind the table without moving, as if he had also turned into a stone sculpture.
I don't know the exact time, but roughly speaking, it's about three or four hours, Gamu said.
Huh? So long...
It takes time for the Emperor's veins to gather together, and it also takes time to arrange for the Emperor's resurrection. You know, the fiefdom is a big deal, and there are too many things involved that are difficult to explain. A few hours is not much, after all, we just want to open a gap. Gamu replied.
What gap? I asked curiously.
The lock of the fiefdom. Gamu shook his head at me: It seems that you haven't gotten much of the inheritance of Ba Suo.
This was a bit discouraging, and I couldn't help but blush. I wanted to refute it, but I had no good reason. I couldn't just put all the blame on my grandfather and father.
It's not your fault. Gamu laughed and said: But I am curious, with Basuo's magical powers, why did the old man die so early?
I have no idea……
Oh? Doesn't he usually have any abnormal behavior? For example, he was injured or something like that. Gamu asked again.
No... I'm not sure, because my grandfather has a weird temper. As a child, I don't even dare to get close to him. As for my father, he has always been silent and never told me these things.
Gamu said with some disappointment: Forget it, this is a strange thing.
After that, we didn't talk anymore. After standing there for a while, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I just sat down on the ground. Sitting for a long time was not comfortable, so I stood up again. This went on for a long time, and it almost drove me crazy.
Can you imagine a dark and empty hall, with three wooden men standing next to you, a wooden man standing in the distance, ghost lights floating everywhere, and you have nothing to do?
In fact, I really wanted to take out the jade pendant and check around, but every time I put my hand to my chest, Wei Qingcang would glance over. His eyes were not sharp, but the half-smile on his face made me feel very uncomfortable, so I could only put my hand down again.
When I wanted to get it again a little later, he looked over at me again...
This happened again and again, and I started to get a little crazy.
I'm not a girl! I'm touching my breasts, what do you see? I'm skinny! Even if I squeeze, there's no cleavage!
Of course, this explosion was in my mind. At this moment, the hall suddenly shook slightly.
It was said to be slight, but I could feel it clearly. I was shocked: What happened? Can there be earthquakes in the underworld?
It’s about to begin! Gamu said, with obvious joy in his tone.
What's starting? I asked.
The resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven is also the beginning of our plan. Gamu answered again.
Speaking of the resurrection of the Emperor of Heaven, I immediately became nervous. Because the secret text of the Emperor of Heaven translated by the Taoist priest said that the reason why the Emperor of Heaven gave up killing immortals to gain the Tao and participated in the enfeoffment was completely forced by my ancestor two thousand years ago.
Although the old Taoist gave the Emperor a false secret code, it would not be important if the Emperor of Heaven was truly resurrected.
With the legendary power of the Emperor of Heaven, if he really wanted revenge, my tiny body wouldn't be enough for him to stop with just one finger.
At this point, I really started to worry about my future. I might as well run away, sell my gold bricks, get foreign citizenship, and go to Europe, America, and Africa to see gorillas and elephants. If possible, find a foreign wife for my dead father and my mother whom I have never met. Although I support domestic products in this regard, it is better than being slapped to death anyway.
What's more, I still have Jiao Ye to take care of. If I was beaten to death, with Jiao Ye's greedy nature, let alone turning into a dragon, I think it is more likely that he will turn into a husky. If this is true, I can only pray that Jiao Ye doesn't go to Shandong to look for food...
After the hall shook for the first time, it shook again a few minutes later.
The shaking frequency became more and more frequent. I stood beside the old Taoist priest and watched the flickering will-o'-the-wisp fire, which made the terrifying stone sculptures even more frightening. It seemed as if the underworld had been repeated here, with demons and monsters everywhere.
Fortunately, the Underworld Hall was strong enough that no matter how violently it shook, not even a speck of dust fell. Even so, it still scared me to death.
Just when I was still in shock, a whistling sound suddenly came from outside.
The sound was like a window in a closed house suddenly opening in a force-12 gale.
There is no wind, only a huge roar. This sound seems to come from your heart, even if I block my ears, I can still hear it clearly.
Could this be what Gamu meant by the gap in the lock of the fiefdom being opened?
At this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside. They seemed to have inadvertently barged in, and appeared in front of me one by one.
Gamu seemed to be talking to me, or to himself: Although the Heavenly Corpse Vein has abandoned all its disciples, those who enter the underworld will become our cornerstone. A brand new Corpse Vein, the revival of the glory of our ancestors.
The voice was deep and deep, and combined with the terrifying environment, it seemed even more bizarre. I felt terrified when I heard it, and I didn't dare to look at him, for fear that I would see a man-eating monster instead of Gamu.
When the people who poured into the hall saw us, they all made sounds of surprise and doubt. Some even shouted and asked who we were. They dispersed and surrounded us in a semicircle. Some even went straight to the undertaker behind the table.
The will-o'-the-wisp fires around us suddenly lit up, and countless figures suddenly appeared, emitting low and hoarse laughter and rushing towards those people. One of them was illuminated by the will-o'-the-wisp fire, and I could see his face clearly.
I was stunned for a moment, because I had seen . It was Elder Shen who had helped the Tianshi Clan advance into the Central Plains but escaped at the last moment. The current head of the Mogui Clan!
The appearance of Moguimai surprised the other party, and I was also surprised. Because I had never noticed where these people were hiding. Maybe the old Taoist noticed, so he didn't fight Wei Qingcang head-on. Even if Wei Qingcang was seriously injured, he would not be able to escape from the hands of Moguimai.
Of course, this is just my guess and not necessarily true.
The attack of touching the ghost veins caused the opponent to rebound. They held the magic tools in their hands, and immediately the bright light of Taoism was lit. There were many attacks, all directed at us.
Wei Qingcang's laughter rang in my ears: You really don't know how to live or die.
Just when the attack was about to hit him, Wei Qingcang grabbed it with one hand. I felt as if a huge mountain was moving in front of me. It was the first time I had ever felt such a majestic aura. Even the old Taoist priests did not have such a aura.
However, at this moment, I felt my arm tighten, and then my body flew into the air.
Behind him, there were continuous "bang bang" sounds. Wei Qingcang's voice was mixed in: Master, are you still unwilling to give up? You can't get away.
