Kikai

The fifth floor of the underworld, Black Street.

In the deepest part of the black street, a palace was built at some time, and at the moment sitting on the throne on the platform of this palace is the ghost king in red. The "bird's nest" made of colorful feathers in front of me.

Xiaonian, who had always been favored by the ghost king in red, was kneeling below, not daring to make a sound. The empty and dark palace was full of oppression.

After an unknown amount of time, the ghost king in red said calmly, "Xiao Nian, you have let me down."

"Your Highness! I've already prepared a foolproof protection, but I didn't expect..." Xiaonian said in a panic, trying to explain everything.

"Shut up!" The angry ghost slammed downwards with these two words. She didn't want to hear any explanation at all. The so-called explanation was just an excuse for incompetence.

Can ordinary ghosts bear a blow from the ghost king's wrath?Xiaonian was immediately sent flying by the ghost energy, his light and fluttering body was like a kite with a broken string, and he flew powerlessly far away, until he hit the wall heavily before falling to the ground.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood with a painful expression, Xiaonian crawled back to the position just now and knelt down, waiting for the next punishment to come.

The ghost king in red looked at Xiaonian below with a blank expression: "You should know how much time this king spent on that thing, and even went to the human world in person! Xiaonian, this king trusts you to make it so important." I entrusted you to keep everything, but you actually lost it? Hah."

Xiao Nian prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to say anything.

Suddenly, with a "creak!", the heavy palace door was pushed open.

A man with a black snake tail came in, walked directly under the ghost king in red, bowed and said, "Your Highness is at peace."

The ghost king in red was in a bad mood, stroking the nails on his hands: "Xiao Jiu, you should know that I don't like to be disturbed when I teach trash!"

Xiaonian's body lying on the ground trembled slightly, and the look of pain flashed in his eyes.

The man called Xiao Jiu didn't look at Xiao Nian, and said in a deep voice to the ghost king in red: "This subordinate disturbed His Highness because of something urgent to report, and I hope His Highness will forgive me!"

"Say." The ghost king in red raised his head impatiently and looked at him.

"Yan Luo Dian sent an official document to Qin Guang Dian just now, saying that it is applying for the placement of two souls in Black Street."

The ghost king in red sighed for a long time: "Xiao Jiu, I let you be a ghost attendant because of the importance of your clear understanding of things. If you bother me with these trivial matters, then you will stay and talk to Xiao Jiu." Let’s be punished together.”

"Your Highness, the official document of Yan Luodian is not to distribute evil spirits, but to apply for two Rakshasa to live in the Black Street." Xiao Jiu explained.

Hearing this, the red-clothed ghost king's irritable mood calmed down a little, and he frowned slightly: "Raksha? The Raksha in the Yan Luo Palace is really interesting. Why don't you live in Raksha Street and go to my black street? Dismiss it. .”

Xiao Jiu didn't move, and continued: "His Royal Highness, there is also a point mentioned in the official document, saying that the two newly appointed Rakshasas in Yan Luodian were resentful spirits before, and King Yan Luo applied to let them live in order to prevent the safety of other ghosts from being endangered." Heijie lived temporarily for decades."

"Wraith?" The ghost king in red shrank his pupils, "Do you have spiritual consciousness?"

Speaking of the important point, Xiao Jiu raised his head to look directly at the ghost king in red, and nodded solemnly.

The ghost king in red immediately slapped the armrest, and Xiao Nian was sent flying again: "Trash! Not only lost things, even the method of awakening the consciousness of the wraith has been leaked!"

Xiao Jiu watched all this silently, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, maybe it wasn't leaked out, and my subordinates also found out that the first wraith that successfully awakened the wraith has been frequently Contacting the ghost messengers in Yan Luodian, maybe they found something from that wraith."

"I remember that it was a little cold snake, right?" The ghost king in red narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's the cold snake demon soul, do you want to destroy his soul?"

The ghost king in red thought for a while: "No need, the matter has come to an end, since it's all known, it's too conspicuous to take action at this time, let's send some little guys to watch him first."

"Yes."

Speaking of the cold snake, the red-clothed ghost king remembered something again: "By the way, that purple-scaled Rakshasa is also staring at it, and find a way to strengthen the spell on him some other day. I don't want to hear any more Bad news, you know?"

Xiao Jiu bowed: "Yes."

……

In the streets of Heijie, the inn that looked like it was about to close down was ushering in its first business of the day.

There was a crumbling signboard hanging on the door of the dilapidated store, and a huge rat in the store was sitting in front of the counter and dozing off. He didn't expect to have any business in running this kind of dilapidated store, anyway. Opening a shop is only superficially fooling those ghosts, who can gain a foothold in the black street, who doesn't have a shady job in private?

But today, a ghost really came to him to do business.

A woman with a snake's tail came in holding a girl who was half pushing and half pushing. It wasn't until the two ghosts walked to the counter that the mouse lazily opened its eyes, squinted and looked them up and down, neither said a word nor got up to entertain them.

The snake-tailed woman didn't bother, and threw a dozen silver merit point coins on the counter: "Open a room and go to the room."

Seeing the merit points, the mouse squinted its eyes and opened them instantly, with a smile on its face, while looking at the cat-eared girl in her arms, it said pointedly: "This demon sister , Of course I have a house, but it's just a hush money."

Hearing this, the snake-tailed woman threw another five silver merit points onto the counter, and hugged the cat-eared girl's slender waist suggestively: "Remember, everyone will say that there is no ghost staying today. , this girl should 'enjoy' this little treasure."

Hearing this, the girl with cat ears froze and struggled weakly a few times.

The mouse hurriedly put away the merit points: "Understood, don't worry, I'm watching the following, I guarantee that there won't be any ghosts without eyes to disturb you today."

After collecting the merit points, the mouse quickly took out a bunch of keys from under the counter, and led the two ghosts upstairs with a smile on his face.

Pushing away a fairly tidy room: "Is this room not bad? Not only is it big enough, but the sound insulation is also the best in our store."

The snake-tailed girl looked around the room casually, dragged the cat-eared girl in, and the mouse was kind of winking, and they kindly helped close the door after they entered.

After the door was closed, he clicked his tongue in disdain: "It's a pity, this protruding one actually likes females? Otherwise, my master, I can barely satisfy this little girl, hehehe."

Snake Qu put her ears on the door, listening to the obscene words in his mouth calmly, until the sound faded away, she let down her vigilance and walked to the bedside: "He's gone."

Maoci nodded: "We have to leave here as soon as possible, those evil spirits will not let it go."

"They must be staring at the exit now. We are all wounded. If we go to the exit now, we must be in a trap. Don't worry, I have sent a message to Lord Shuanglang, and the Lord will come to pick us up."

Maoci nodded, now he could only wait for Shuanglang, and endured the severe pain to get up from the bed and take off his clothes: "I got an arrow in the back, please help me first."

He took off his clothes to reveal the bloody holes on his back pierced by three arrows with broken arrows, and there were seven or eight sword wounds. Although the sword wounds looked the deepest on the body, the three wounds hit by the arrows were the most important. of.

Snake Qu dipped a little of the dark green blood near the arrow wound with his fingers, sniffed it closely, and then frowned: "The arrow is poisoned."

Maoci nodded. She had already felt it. Ordinary arrow wounds would not hurt so much: "You poison the arrow first, and then find a way to cure it."

Right now there is really no way to detoxify, so Snake Qu can only do what she said to kill the arrow first.

After simply treating the wound, Snake Qu had the time to ask the ins and outs of the matter: "What's going on?"

Maoci did not answer directly, but took out a goose egg-sized blue-purple egg from his side pocket. Unlike ordinary eggs with smooth or rough shells, the shell of this egg was covered with purple-blue feathers, resembling a A pair of tiny wings protects the fragile embryo inside.

"I found this in a palace I found in the deepest part of Black Street."

"What kind of egg is this?" Snake Qu let out a ghostly aura to investigate the egg, but was beaten back by a powerful force. This force was very overbearing, and it was just an egg, which made Snake Qu feel a little afraid.

Mao Ci has never seen it before: "Take it back and check it out. It is protected at the very center of that mysterious palace and is under strict guard, so I think it should be the one your lord wants to investigate."

The fourth floor of the Underworld, Rakshasa Street.

Unknowingly, Yu Qi and his group of ghosts had wandered to the end of Luocha Street.

At the end of Luocha Street is an antique building with two simple characters written on the door plate: Three souls.

Yu Qi was a little stunned looking at this store. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect. She remembered that she had visited this store with Muluo Manke before going to the human world. At that time, the lady of the Three Souls told her to be more careful recently. , and thinking of the soul-eating that happened later, she always felt that she was hit by Mrs. Three Souls.

"What's the matter, Qiqi?" Mu Luomanke ignored Shuanglang's staring eyes at her, and asked Yuqi with concern, and then followed her gaze, "Hey, we've reached the Three Souls, do you want to see me?" Go in and have a look?"

Yu Qi was very moved by this proposal and nodded immediately.

Shuanglang didn't move under the stairs until Yu Qi turned around and was about to ask her, when she slowly said, "Sister, I won't go in."

"What's wrong?" Yu Qi was a little surprised.

Shuang Lang looked at the store and was silent for a long time.

But in fact, there is nothing to hide. After all, there are not a few ghosts who know about that matter, and they all know it after a little inquiring. She simply said: "I know a ghost, about 800 years ago. ..."
