Every ghost entering and leaving the city will be strictly inspected and almost have to take off all their clothes.
The leader was a burly ghost over two meters tall, wearing black armor and carrying a machete behind his back. He looked very menacing and terrifying.
His whole body exudes a faint yin energy, and he looks like a practitioner.
For every passing ghost, the tall ghost would first touch the top of his head with his hand, and then the Yin Soldier would check his whole body. Even the package he was holding had to be turned out and inspected carefully.
When Yu Xiaolong saw this posture, he did not dare to move forward rashly. With that tall ghost around, his identity as a cultivator will be exposed, and the secrets of the people in the world may not be kept.
He naturally turned a corner and entered the side path. We must find a way to get out safely.
Master Fanqing told him that every city in the underworld has four gates, east, west, north and south, and each one is guarded by underworld soldiers.
It seems that except for this main city gate, the other three gates are probably in similar condition.
Yu Xiaolong thought for a moment, then disguised himself and walked inside.
When I walked to Dong Sanbao's shop, dozens of Yin soldiers were standing at the door, and two evil spirits, one fat and one thin, were smashing things inside.
"His uncle! I didn't expect that boy to be so bold! He not only deceived my two brothers, but also dared to deceive Qiniang, and even did it. Dong Sanbao, what do you want to say?" The fat ghost held a big knife in his hand. on Rumpelstiltskin's neck.
"Oh... Mr. Tang... Mr. Wu... How could I know what kind of person he is? Otherwise, he would definitely not be allowed to live here! I have nothing to do with him. He just came a few minutes earlier than you." Dong Sanbao said in tears.
"Tch! Are you lying to ghosts? No, to people? You don't know him, but he paid you half a year's money? Why are you so generous to my two brothers? Do you think I'm stupid?" the fat ghost said fiercely.
He turned around and asked the thin guy next to him: "Master Wu, am I stupid?"
The thin ghost immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "How is it possible? Who on the street doesn't know you, Mr. Tang? Whoever says you are stupid, I will chop him into pieces!"
"Did you hear that? You want to be chopped into pieces, right?" The fat ghost spit out his blood-red tongue and said, "How dare you, a little dwarf, call me stupid?"
"I don't have Mr. Tang! How dare you? I really don't know him! Don't you know that I have been here for so many years? When did you do this to deceive the two masters?" Dong Sanbao's legs became weak. Can't stand anymore.
The fat ghost blinked his eyes a few times and said: "Uh... that's right, it really doesn't happen. Guys, clean up this shop for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shady soldiers outside rushed in and started smashing, and there was no room left from the first floor to the second floor.
"Oh, my Lord, please give me a way to survive!" Dong Sanbao knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the ghost boy next to him did not dare to stand.
"Leave a way to survive? Who will leave a way for us to survive? Today, Mr. Tang, I will kill you!" The fat ghost raised his knife and said viciously.
Yu Xiaolong couldn't bear it any longer, holding the Taoist talisman in his hand and preparing to burst out his true energy.
"slow!"
A female voice came over, and Zhou Qiniang was seen walking quickly from a distance with her brows furrowed.
"Isn't this Qiniang, hehe." The two evil spirits quickly came over with playful smiles.
"How is it?" Zhou Qiniang asked.
"Hey, I don't know this little dwarf donkey. It's useless to keep him anyway. It's better to chop him up or arrest him." The fat ghost said with his lips curled up.
Zhou Qiniang frowned, thought for a moment, walked up to Dong Sanbao and said, "You really don't know that person?"
"Oh, I really don't know him. Please forgive me, sir!" Dong Sanbao quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"What about you?" Zhou Qiniang looked at Gui Xiaoer again.
"I'm just a waiter, let alone know that kind of person." The ghost waiter was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Do you know where he went?" Zhou Qiniang asked again.
"He came and took the things and left. He still owed me money but didn't pay me!" Dong Sanbao cried.
Zhou Qiniang closed her eyes and thought, and after a moment she said: "Forget it if I really don't know him, I'm sorry you don't dare to talk nonsense!"
The fat ghost came over and asked: "Qiniang, let's forget it like this? Then how should I explain to the superiors?"
Zhou Qiniang came next to him, called the thin ghost over, whispered a little, then turned and left.
"Well... this... for the sake of Qiniang's kindness, I will spare your life today! You can continue to open the store, but if there is a situation, report it at any time, and it will not be so good next time!" The fat ghost shouted loudly with his hands on his hips.
"Hehe, you short donkey must be lucky." The thin ghost said with a smile.
After that, the two ghosts led a group of Yin soldiers and dispersed, and the onlookers also dispersed.
Dong Sanbao looked at the devastated shop and cried without tears. With the help of Gui Xiaoer, he slowly started to clean it up.
Yu Xiaolong followed the messy ghosts slowly away. He was wondering why the Zhou family let Dong Sanbao go so easily.
Indeed, I helped him pay the protection fee for half a year and gave the two ghosts tea money. In the eyes of any ghost, they would think that they knew each other and had a good relationship.
But Zhou Qiniang, who is known for being vicious, actually let him go, and even let the grumpy fat ghost let him go. What did the three ghosts say when they got together?
As I walked thinking about it, I arrived near the southern city gate before I knew it.
Sure enough, just as he imagined, this place was heavily guarded.
In desperation, Yu Xiaolong went to the west gate and north gate again, and the situation was the same.
Yu Xiaolong was completely depressed now. If he wanted to return to the earth, he had to go back to the place where he first descended to the underworld. But now the whole city is like an iron barrel, unable to fly.
There is still one day left, during which time he must return to the earth. Otherwise, the Tao body will be harmed because the Yin Qi is too strong, which is something Yu Xiaolong absolutely does not want.
Now the Zhou family still doesn't know that he came from the earthly world, and they still treat him as a practicing ghost. If his identity is exposed, Yu Xiaolong doesn't know what will be waiting for him.
Now he can only sneak into the market again and find a corner to think hard about how to get out of trouble.
However, there are many ghosts on the street, and there are many kinds of ghosts. You may not know which one is a member of the Zhou family. It is really dangerous to wander outside.
He slowly walked back to Dong Sanbao's shop, hiding in the corner and observing.
In the store, Dong Sanbao and Gui Xiaoer were busy cleaning up, and there was no one else. Outside the store, several vendors were selling, haggling with buyers from time to time.
He didn't dare to break in directly and slowly approached the door.
When we were still four or five meters away from the door of the store, Dong Sanbao suddenly shouted from inside: "Can you do a good job? Why don't you clean it up after everything is smashed like this! If you can't do it well, leave quickly!"
After speaking, he took out a basin of water and threw it directly on the street outside the shop, almost throwing it on Yu Xiaolong, still cursing in his mouth.
Yu Xiaolong calmly continued to walk forward and stayed away from here. When I reached a distance and looked over there, I saw several vendors outside looking around as if they were looking for something.
Only then did he remember that there were not those vendors doing business outside the store. They were spies from the Zhou family.
Fortunately, Dong Sanbao saw Yu Xiaolong and sent the signal in time.
He looked at the busy Dong Sanbao from a distance and secretly thanked him in his heart.
