Master Wan shook his head and said, "That thing is not here with me."

Yin Jiuyin asked: "At Madam Bai's place?"

"Yes." Master Wan nodded.

Yin Jiuyin sighed: "I understand."

"Grandpa Wan." At this moment, the little girl ran towards the giant, and Yin Jiuyin did not stop her, obviously very relieved.

"It's such a little thing like you, why can't you grow up?" Qi Xuansu actually heard a hint of smile in the giant's tone, but because the giant's face was spliced ​​together, there was no expression at all.

The little girl smiled and said: "Why do you have to grow up? I don't want to be like Grandpa Wan, who eats and sleeps, and sleeps and eats."

"You little girl, your ability to annoy people is just like your grandfather." Master Wan exclaimed.

While speaking, Master Wan slowly stretched out a giant palm and landed on the ground with a crash, causing the white mist to roll again.

The little girl climbed onto the huge finger on her hands and knees and trotted to the palm.

Then Master Wan slowly lifted the little girl in front of him.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but think that if he were to face Master Wan's venerable face at close range, he would probably not be able to keep his face straight. But this little girl is not afraid at all. I don’t know where she comes from. She can’t be a century-old kid.

Yin Jiuyin said loudly: "Girl, you stay here and talk to your Grandpa Wan, and Grandpa goes to see Mrs. Bai."

The little girl's laughter came as a response.

Yin Jiuyin turned to Qi Xuansu and said, "My little friend, please come with me."

Qi Xuansu hurriedly agreed. He didn't want to stay here anymore. It was true that Master Wan's sense of oppression was too strong. He could be killed with just one finger. There were also corpses that kept falling. It seemed that he would come back to life after landing. , As for the corpse energy, let alone it, I'm afraid you will die if you touch it.

Yin Jiuyin led Qi Xuansu away from here and returned to the Meridian Gate again.

From the beginning to the end, Master Wan didn't pay attention to Qi Xuansu who was following him. He didn't know whether he didn't see it or didn't care at all.

There is another possibility that the "Xuan Jade of Death" covered Qi Xuansu's aura. After all, in the beginning, all "people" turned a blind eye to Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu had no heartbeat, pulse, or breathing, and was like a dead person. .

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Yin, is Mrs. Bai in the imperial city?"

Yin Jiuyin said: "Exactly."

Qi Xuansu looked up at the majestic Meridian Gate and felt that he was in a dream.

He just went to Longmen Mansion, and he encountered such strange and bizarre things. This was not a coincidence, but inevitable. As long as he takes the "Jade of Death" through the "Ghost Pass", it is inevitable.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu suddenly reacted.

Could all this be arranged by Qiniang?

"The mysterious jade of death" is seven

The escorts who went to Longmen Mansion were also given by Qiniang. Even Pei Xiaolou was restricted by Qiniang and had to do things for Qiniang in order to pay off the debt. This is how Qi Xuansu got the piece of information that went in and out of the "Ghost Pass". Token.

It would make sense to say that Qiniang arranged all this.

However, Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully and felt that it was unlikely.

Because this series of things is like a conspiracy on a string of beads. As long as there is a problem in one link, everything will go wrong. If Qi Xuansu had not been so curious and had not followed the people from the Yan Gang, he would not have provoked the "Tian Ting" and would not have attracted Feng Bo's pursuit. Without Feng Bo's pursuit, Qi Xuansu would not have encountered Pei Xiaolou. Naturally, without the token, he would not be able to take the shortcut of "Ghost Pass".

It would be unreasonable if all Qiniang Fei's arrangements were based on Qi Xuansu's temporary whim.

Qi Xuansu was just thinking about these messy things when he saw Yin Jiuyin slowly walking forward, stretching out his hands to press on the city gate, and slowly pushed the gate open with his own strength.

The huge city gate made a dull friction sound, and only opened a sliver for the two of them to pass through. The howling wind surged out from this gap, almost knocking Qi Xuansu off his feet.

After all, Qi Xuansu is just an ordinary person now.

Yin Jiuyin stood in the cold wind, his clothes rustling, unmoved, but Qi Xuansu had to lower his body and move forward with difficulty against the wind.

The two passed through the Meridian Gate and entered the imperial city.

After arriving inside, although the flow of Yin Qi can still be felt, the Yin wind can no longer form, and the Yin Qi here is much richer than outside, so when Yin Jiuyin opens the door, it is like opening a gate to release water, causing the Yin Qi to All flocked to the crack.

Fortunately, Qi Xuansu was like a dead person at this time and was not affected, otherwise he would have "drown" to death in this Yin Qi.

After passing the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace, there is a place similar to an urn city, with black walls on all sides, and a floor paved with white jade at the feet. Black and white are intertwined, as if yin and yang meet, but it shows the characteristics of a Taoist gate.

Beyond the urn city, there are many palaces. A straight line running from north to south runs through the whole, symmetrical from left to right, which is really the same as the layout of the Imperial City.

To Qi Xuansu's surprise, the place was completely empty at this time, with not a single "human figure" in sight. There were not even any spiritual officials or Taoist priests from the Taoist sect, even ghosts, living corpses and other things. It seemed like an empty city. .

Yin Jiuyin went to the three main halls. Since this place is a replica of an Imperial City, then according to the layout of the Imperial City, the three main halls are: Taisheng Temple, Upper Temple, and Middle Temple. Among them, Taisheng Temple is the largest and Middle Temple is the smallest.

The emperor held grand ceremonies in Taisheng Temple, such as the emperor's accession to the throne, the emperor's wedding, the appointment of a queen, and the ordering of generals to go to war. In addition, every year on Wanshou, Qianqiu, New Year, Winter Solstice and other festivals, the emperor accepted congratulations from civil and military officials here and paid tribute to the princes. The minister gave a banquet. In addition, the imperial examination for new Jinshi was also held in Taisheng Temple. As for the place where the emperor went to court,

In fact, it is not at the Taisheng Temple, but at the Taisheng Gate, also known as the Royal Gate to listen to politics.

The imperial palace here also has three replicas of the main halls. The first thing Yin Jiuyin came to was the largest Taisheng Temple, which is often called the "Jinluan Palace" by the people.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he heard a chuckle: "Mr. Yin never goes to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. I wonder why you are here today?"

Li Xuansu followed the sound and saw a person sitting on the dragon chair in the deepest part. He was tall and slim, wearing white clothes. The left half of his face was very pale, almost transparent, without any blood color, and his face was beautiful. The right half of his face was covered with long hair. His true appearance cannot be seen clearly due to his long black hair. There was a string of beads hanging on her wrist, which were actually made up of finger-sized skeletons, twelve in total. The eyes of each skeleton were dancing with faint blue fire, which made people frightened at first sight.

I think this is Mrs. Bai whom Master Wan and Yin Jiuyin mentioned.

Mr. Yin, Master Wan, and Mrs. Bai.

Exactly three people.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but think that Daomen really preferred the number "three".

Taishang Taoist ancestor said that in one life, two, two beget three, and three beget all things.

Taishang Taoist ancestor transformed the three pure states with one breath, so there is also the saying of the Taoist ancestor of the three pure states.

Under the Sanqing Dynasty, there are the "three official" emperors such as Tianguan, Diguan and Shuiguan.

Xuansheng set up three deputy masters to teach the great masters, the Heavenly Master, the Earth Master, and the National Master, which the world calls the "Three Masters".

There are also three "people" in this ghost country.

At this moment, Mrs. Bai seemed to notice Qi Xuansu who was following Yin Jiuyin, and let out a soft sigh: "There are still foreigners? It's really rare."

Qi Xuansu felt Mrs. Bai's eyes on him, as if they were real, and there was also a deep chill, which made him almost freeze. He could only step forward, shivering, lowered his head and saluted: "Wan, This junior has met Mrs. Bai.”

Not scared, but frozen.

"Young Master, you don't need to be polite." Madam Bai smiled and said, "Raise your head and speak."

Qi Xuansu raised his head as he was told.

I just happened to see the woman sitting on the dragon chair lift up the black hair that covered the other half of her face.

The other half of her face was no longer fleshy, revealing sparkling white bones and teeth, and a strange black breath was constantly escaping from her mouth.

Qi Xuansu forced himself to remain calm and did not dare to show any strange looks. He had heard stories about half-face makeup, but the half-face makeup of the woman in front of him was really unbearable.

Although Mrs. Bai always had a smile in her tone, her expression was cold and majestic, like an emperor in the underworld, coming to the territory under her command.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but secretly thought that among the three, Mr. Yin was the only one who was normal.

Mrs. Bai seemed to see what Qi Xuansu was thinking, and said calmly: "You think so because you have never seen Mr. Yin's true face. In fact, he has no human appearance."

Qi Xuansu only felt a chill on his back.
