Just when I successfully sneaked into Edu City and thought everything was fine, suddenly there was the sound of a big rooster and a sinister conversation behind me.
"What did you say? What did the white-faced ghost tell you? He has already been eaten by the needle-mouthed ghost. How could he appear here?" the black-robed Yinsha finished.
My expression changed drastically, and I quickly looked back, just in time to see the figure of the big rooster jumping so high, "Quack, quack, quack, what did you say, the white-faced ghost is dead? How is this possible? I saw him go in just now." Yeah, could it be, could it be, quack quack..."
The big rooster croaked very excitedly, more exaggeratedly than an old hen laying eggs, and then he and the black-robed Yinza looked in my direction at the same time.
"Not good!" My heart was beating fast and my scalp was numb. I didn't expect that at this juncture, the evil men in black robes would come back. If they found me, I would be in big trouble.
The moment they turned to look at me, a sneaky old man with green eyes walked out of a bungalow on the right, his breath was weak and his level was not high.
And there are no ghosts around to pay attention to me for the time being.
Without saying a word, I rushed towards the old man as fast as I could, grabbed his neck and rushed into the house.
"Ahem, you, what are you doing..." The old man looked at me in panic.
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense." I instantly took out the demon knife and stabbed it into the old man's chest. The moment I swallowed it, the red egg transformed me into the old man's appearance.
At this time, the angry croaking sound of the big rooster happened to be heard outside, "Quack, quack, quack, I'm so angry. The white ghost who sneaked in just now must be a fake. It's probably the transformation of that hateful living soul. Yeah, yeah, I want to kill him."
"What are you talking about? The living soul turned into a white ghost and infiltrated Edu City? Didn't you check it carefully?" the black-robed villain exclaimed, with strong emotions of shock and anger in his voice.
"Hurry up and search for me. He must not be able to run far, maybe he is hiding." The big rooster gave the search order, and there was chaos outside, with the sound of horse hooves everywhere.
"Damn it, that damn living soul can't even be said to have any abilities, but it can actually avoid the search for all kinds of exotic treasures. It's really damnable, damn it, and I haven't talked about you yet?"
After the big rooster finished speaking, he roared angrily at the black-robed Yinzai, "The living soul came in from the direction of Naihe Bridge. When passing Jinji Mountain, I don't know what kind of weird treasure was used to devour many of my chicken brothers, quack, I My heart is bleeding, Gaga, are you and Po Meng both useless as you are riding horses? Gaga, a living soul has sneaked in, and you didn’t notice it?"
"You are a waste. There are so many ways to generate souls. Didn't you find out when you entered Edu City? What qualifications do you have to criticize me? He passed by Jinji Mountain, and you couldn't catch him? How can you have the face to criticize me?" The black-robed man finished speaking unconvincingly, and suddenly thought of a question, he was surprised again: "You mean, that living soul also devoured at least tens of thousands of big roosters in Jinji Mountain? It seems that the wild dogs in Evil Dog Ridge have disappeared, too. It must be related to that abominable soul."
"What? Quack, quack, the wild dogs in Evil Dog Ridge are also missing?"
"Yes, a total of 50,000 have disappeared. The origin of this living soul must be extraordinary. No wonder the Five-Eyed Ghost King personally ordered us to pay attention. This time, the living soul actually sneaked into Edu City, hey!"
"Quack, quack, quack." The big cock was particularly excited. "If I catch this damn living soul, I will pluck out his skin. Quack, you, you, you, go over there and search. Nigga, you lead the people." Go over there and search door to door. The living soul is as cunning as a fox and has the ability to transform. He must be hiding. Pay more attention. I have to send someone to inform the Three-Eyed Ghost King. He has great power and must have a way to find that person. Damn living soul, quack quack.”
I knew exactly what was happening inside the house, and felt bitter in my heart. I secretly thought that I was really bad this time. If I got discovered by sneaking into Edu City, I would definitely fall into a very dangerous situation and it would be difficult to move forward.
As a result, it will be even more difficult to find Yu Ruxue's human soul.
Suddenly, there were dense footsteps outside the door, obviously coming towards me.
I quickly tried to act like an old man, bent over and coughed a few times.
Bang bang bang.
"Open the door, open the door, open the door for me quickly." There were hurried knocks and irritable yelling outside the door.
"Ahem." I coughed, opened the door and nervously looked at the dozens of skeleton ghost soldiers with strong auras at the door, but asked with a very puzzled expression, "What are you..."
After becoming an old man, my voice directly became assimilated to that of the old man.
"Damn old man." A ghost soldier instantly grabbed my collar and said coldly: "Your house is closest to the city gate. Have you seen the white ghost who just sneaked in?"
All the ghost soldiers stared at me with black eyes filled with black energy. Behind them, the black-robed Yin Cha, who had lost half of his body, was floating in the air and stared at me.
Judging from his breath, he was angrier than a big cock. His lower body was bitten by a needle-mouthed ghost and he lost his ruby treasure. It was normal to be angry.
"Ah, ah?" I deliberately looked confused, "Bai, white ghost? I haven't gone out, and I haven't found any white ghost."
The ghost soldier who was pinching me obviously had a high IQ. He looked back at the black-robed Yin Cha and asked, "Nigger, do you think this old man can be the one who transformed into a soul?"
My nervous heart was about to jump out of my throat. At the same time, I secretly cursed this ghost soldier for being such a thief, but I wasn't too worried. After all, the red egg had the ability to help me hide my aura.
But who would have expected that the evil man in black robe did not use any magic weapon to search me, but asked me a question, "Old man, your daughter has been married for three years and has not come home once. Don't you think about it at all?"
I was stunned for a moment, and my heart trembled. The question he suddenly asked must be a trap. Just when I subconsciously said that there was nothing I could do about my daughter.
Crimson suddenly forced out the answer from the old man in the Demon Sword, and quickly conveyed an idea to me.
The words were on my lips, so I quickly changed my words: "Yin, Master Yincha, what kind of daughter is getting married? I have no children in my life, why do you ask me such a question?"
The many skeleton ghost soldiers and black-robed Yinzai at the door looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"Let's go over there and continue the search. Search each house for me." After the black-robed Yin Chao finished speaking, he quickly floated to the left.
thump.
After I was thrown to the ground by the ghost soldiers, they quickly searched to the left. Various inquiries and quarrels came from outside the door.
I quickly closed the door, leaned against the door and took a deep breath in shock. It was really a close call just now. I have too little experience in dealing with this kind of thing.
Thanks to the experienced Crimson's timely reaction, she told me the real answer. Although she looks like a little girl, she is nearly three hundred years old. If she had let it slip just now, you can imagine the consequences.
There were constant sounds of footsteps and messy horse hooves outside the door, an angry roar of dissatisfaction, and the croaking sound of that damn big rooster.
I thought it should be fine for the time being, so I was in the mood to observe the room. Green flames were swaying on the five lamp stands extending from the surrounding walls.
The architectural style of the room is the same as that of ancient times. There is a gray wooden table placed under the wall in front with some tea sets on it, and a wooden chair placed on the left and right sides.
There was just a layer of dust on it, and it was obvious that the childless old man was very sloppy and rarely cleaned the room.
The ground was a gray wooden floor, and a wooden screen partition was erected not far to the right. After I walked over, I found that there was a simple bedroom on the other side.
The quilt on the bed on the inside was balled up and there were some messy clothes. There was also a simple wooden chair and a square table on the right side.
In fact, the sneaky life in the Hungry Ghost Realm is no different from that in the real world, except that there is no sunshine all year round, and it is shrouded in gray fog and gloomy.
And being able to live in Edu City without starving, Gui Xiu obviously had some blessings during his lifetime, otherwise he would not be living in the city.
I dusted off the stool and sat down to think deeply. Now that my infiltration into Edu City has been exposed, the ghost soldiers will definitely intensify their efforts to search for me.
It's not suitable for walking back and forth, let alone sneaking into Edu City to hide. The most dangerous place is the safest place.
I am going to wait and see what happens. After they start a large-scale search and shift their attention to this area, I will try to find a way to find the Five-Eyed Ghost King's Mansion.
What worries me is that the big rooster just said that he would notify the Three-Eyed Ghost King and ask him to search for me. I don’t know what the other party’s methods are and whether he can find me.
"Quack, quack, quack."
Suddenly, the angry croak of a big rooster came from outside the door, "Quack, quack, damn it, that soul is so cunning, I searched dozens of houses and couldn't find it, damn it."
"Edu City is extremely vast, and maybe the living soul has slipped into the depths." This was the irritable voice of the black-robed Yinsha.
"That's impossible." The big rooster said loudly: "Quack, in such a short period of time, the soul cannot run too far. It must be hiding nearby by some means."
The black-robed Yinzai said seriously: "Have you informed the Three-Eyed Ghost King? He may be the only one who can search for the living soul now."
"I already told him..."
"All come out, you, you, you, come out and assemble, all come out and assemble."
Before the big rooster could finish speaking, a loud roar suddenly came from outside, followed by frequent door openings and some sneaky complaints.
I took the initiative to go out, and my heart sank. I saw hundreds of ghost soldiers around me. They kept knocking on the doors of the surrounding rooms, pulling out the ghosts inside, and driving them deeper into the city of Edu.
"Why are you standing there, you stinky old man, hurry up and follow them." The big rooster suddenly came up and kicked me. I suppressed my anger and said that I would stew it sooner or later.
I followed the residents furtively into the depths of Edu City and carefully observed the appearance of Edu City. The architectural style was similar to that in ancient times.
Streets of varying widths extend in all directions. The houses on the left and right sides of some streets resemble the simple houses of the poor, while others are three- to five-story palaces and pavilions, which are probably the residences of powerful and sneaky people.
There is actually a commercial street similar to the Yangjian. There are vendors shouting at the door of the store. I don’t know what they are selling, but they are quickly driven away by ghost soldiers and join the team in our direction.
As for the wandering souls who entered and awaited trial, they were whipped by the ghost soldiers like prisoners, and entered a strange building similar to the Yangjian Pagoda Temple. It was not known what was going on inside, or how to punish the ghosts.
Looking up, you can vaguely see a majestic hall nearly a hundred meters high in the deepest part of the city. Even though it is far away, you can feel the strong sense of oppression emanating from it.
It is estimated that this is where the powerful figures in the Palace of Life and Death reside.
At this moment, within a radius of several kilometers or even wider, whether they were ordinary sneaks or sneaks in shops, they were all violently pulled out by the ghost soldiers and driven deep into the capital city.
There were thousands of them, and we were surrounded by grumbling and complaining voices, and we didn’t know where the ghost soldiers were going to drive us.
When I was among the ghosts, I found that these ghosts were extremely ugly, with crooked mouths and slanted eyes, just like deformed disabled people.
The good-looking ones are about the same as those in the Yang world, with standard facial features, but their faces are all livid.
"These sneaky appearances in Edu City are also a kind of cause and effect based on the good and evil karma they have created. The same is true for people in the Yang world." Zen's voice suddenly came.
