The Ghost Hall was extremely dark, except for the white candles on the two pillars above the hall, which opened up an open space and emitted two green glows that were very dazzling.
I don’t know how long the two white candles have been burning, and no one has asked. The candle has been there since the day when the ghost mission hall came into existence. It has never been shorter than a minute, nor has it been extinguished. The most unusual thing is that these two green spots are glowing, but they are cold to the bone.
Between the two glowing lights is a bronze door covered with green rust. The pattern on it is very simple and unique, and it is unknown how many years have passed. The yaksha carved on the two door leaves had his eyes closed tightly, half-dark under the illumination of the firelight, as if he was leaning out half of his body, and was about to break out of the door the next moment.
There were shadows in the Ghost Hall, as if someone was moving around.
In the blink of an eye, this shadow blended into the darkness, as if it was a part of the darkness and had never made any waves, but a rustling sound came again.
"Senior Brother Bai Yi, when will Master come back?"
In the hall, several figures appeared on the edge of the green fire, revealing pale and old faces. Although they were much older than the young man they were facing, their tone was not disrespectful at all.
"Master left in a hurry and never mentioned it to me."
"Hey, the mortal world has been in such chaos in recent years. Let's just say that those familiar faces from the past few days were sent down by me personally a hundred years ago. If I hadn't been used to this job long ago, it would really make people feel uncomfortable. Comfortable."
"Isn't that right! Now not only mortals, but also all kinds of monsters that died a hundred years ago are coming up for some reason. It's really difficult to deal with!"
In the Ghost Hall, several people complained to each other, and their already ugly faces became even more ferocious.
"Everyone, please be patient. I communicated with the subordinates a few days ago. Although the master still has something to do and cannot escape, he asked the palace master to help us recruit some helpers... The top ten shady commanders are summoned!"
As soon as Bai Yi finished speaking, two green fluorescent lights swayed without wind, making a hunting sound, and instantly illuminated the area under the feet of several people as if it were daytime. I saw the two Yakshas on the bronze door slowly opening their eyes under the illumination of the fire, and raised their arms to pull towards the two copper rings.
The bronze door made a tooth-grinding sound as it rubbed against the ground, and slowly opened, causing the temperature of the already cold Ghost Hall to drop a few points.
Although the people present had long been accustomed to the cold atmosphere, they still had a rare shiver at this time.
The abnormality occurred in just one breath. The Yaksha on the bronze door has returned to its previous appearance, and the door has been closed, as if this has never happened. However, the ten figures standing in front of the door show that It was not an illusion just now.
The leader was a man with red hair and fangs, a fierce look, and a pair of demon-suppressing bells in his hands, looking like a yaksha. He is wearing a black cloth mandarin jacket, with the words "filial piety, loyalty and trust" written on his left arm, and "property, justice and integrity" written on his right arm. On his chest, a very eye-catching character "王" is displayed in gold thread, declaring that he is the ghost king.
On the left hand side of the Ghost King are two little people holding hands and side by side. To call him a villain is not because his behavior is inappropriate, but simply because the two of them are no more than waist-high with the Ghost King.
Not only were the two of them similar in stature, but their faces were also painted with two circles in white. They were dressed in the same jailer garb, and each carried a killing stick behind their backs. However, the man on the left has the character "日" on his waistband, and the man on the right has the character "night" on it. Presumably, these two are the God of Day and Night.
On the right hand side of the Ghost King are two weirdos holding steel forks, one with the head of a bull and the other with the head of a horse. It goes without saying that the features are so obvious.
Looking further to the side, there is a smiling, tall and thin man with a pale face. His tongue hangs long from his mouth. A tall official hat on his head reads "You will see wealth in your life". Beside him, The man in front of him is a man with a fierce face, a broad body and a dark face. His official hat has the words "Peace in the World" written on it.
Of these two people, one is in charge of yang and the other is in charge of yin. They are like wandering gods in day and night. One is responsible for the day and the other is responsible for the night. They both belong to the same official position of "impermanence".
Behind them are four people with more unique physical features. It is difficult to describe them in thousands of words, but as long as you hear their names and imagine a little, they are not much different.
These four people are: leopard tail, bird's beak, fish gills, and wasp, plus the previous ghost king, day wandering god, night wandering god, bull head, horse face, black and white impermanence, these eleven are the legendary ten evil spirits. Handsome, but because Yin Shuai is an official title, there are even several people under one official position, so the number will be somewhat different.
The reason why they are divided into categories is simply because the first ones are in charge of the human world, while the leopard's tail is in charge of beasts, the beak is in charge of birds, the gills are in charge of fish, and the wasp is in charge of insects.
Normally, these four sinister commanders would hardly bother to help, but now that the seal of the Demon Locking Tower has been lifted, all life has been devastated for a while, and with so many ghosts escaping from the ground for no reason, it is worth the effort.
"The ghost servants from the Ghost Palace pay their respects to all the Yin commanders."
"Yes, yes, my official position is not much higher than yours. I don't need to follow your mortal rules. This time I just came to help under the order of the Red Ghost King. Since we are all our own people, feel free to do whatever you want."
Although this ghost king looked fierce, his words were very polite, which made everyone in the Ghost Palace a little confused and didn't know what to do.
"Hey, although there are rumors that we are strict and harsh, they are just threats to mortals. Now we are considered half colleagues, so there is no need to be so nervous." Bai Wuchang looked at these people with doubts on their faces, dragging his tongue and talking. Mouth said.
Everyone in Gui Chai Hall felt a little more relaxed when they saw that the attitude of these sinister handsome men was actually quite relaxed. Although they had seen these evil tricks before, they had only watched them from a distance and had never communicated with them, so they were very afraid. Now it seems that these ghosts are much easier to get along with than ordinary people.
The tense atmosphere disappeared, and they hurriedly talked about business. At first, the expressions of the top ten handsome men were calm, but then their expressions gradually became a bit uglier.
"Brother Bai Yi, I am in charge of beasts. I am very worried about the monsters in the Demon Locking Tower. I reported it to Lord Red Ghost King in private, but he said that the seal of the Demon Locking Tower is very strong, so I don't have to worry. But why is the lock locked this time? The seal of the Demon Tower will be unlocked, and do you know who did it?" Leopard Tail suddenly asked.
"Just talking about unlocking the seal, if several elders of the sects join forces, there is a chance, but this is impossible to achieve. The matter of lifting the seal is indeed a bit unbelievable. So far, I have carefully investigated in secret, but I have not found anything at all. Clues... But fortunately, only the relatively weak first layer of seal has been lifted, and these monsters are easy to deal with. I'm just afraid..."
Bai Yi spoke slowly while turning the dagger in his hand, and then the dagger stabbed to the ground with a clang. Bai Yi said no more, but even if he stopped talking, everyone must have understood what he meant.
"Most of the monsters have been sorted out now, but the last few are very troublesome. I wonder if those sects can handle them... Although we can't interfere with these things, there are more important things to do!"
After Bai Yi finished speaking, he took out a map of the surrounding landforms. He pulled out his dagger and pointed on it.
"I found that over the years, most of the people who escaped on the surface were those working ghosts from your Fengdu Gongdian, but there were actually many dangerous people mixed in with them. As they absorbed the souls of living people, they became much more capable. , secretly causing mischief everywhere! But those ghosts cannot be solved by ordinary evil, and I really can't take care of them everywhere, so I can only ask you to help!"
"Hmph! King Yishan is getting more and more outrageous! He can't control his own work hall, and he often wants people from our punishment hall! I remember that last time, a group of new ghosts were taken away by the work hall just after they were transported to the execution hall. As a result, they escaped halfway! If King Red Ghost hadn't suppressed this matter, how could King Yishan have had a good life? I'm so angry!"
The Ghost King was very angry when he heard this. He stamped his feet and the demon-suppressing bell buzzed in his hand.
"Isn't that right? Now the number of people in the Hall of Punishment who were dragged down by the Hall of Works has been reduced a lot, which has actually made the Hall of Soldiers stronger!" the Day and Night Travel God chirped as he jumped up and down.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. We came to the earth, aren't we here to help the Red Ghost King solve the problem? Let's first hear how things have developed now, right?"
Bai Wuchang still had that smiling look and spoke calmly and slowly.
When the Yin commanders heard this, they nodded and said no more.
"Of course, you don't need to do anything ordinary. The most important thing now is to find out about the seal! The gods wander day and night, black and white are impermanent. How about I leave this inquiring information to you?"
Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other. After all, this was half of their profession, and nodded in agreement.
"In order to prevent the other seals of the Demon Locking Tower from being destroyed again during this period, the four of you, the leopard tail, the bird's beak, the fish gills, and the wasp, are on guard from the sky, the ground, and the water. If there is any slightest sign of trouble, you must notify me in time. .”
Several people received the order and got ready without hesitation. They saw the souls of various birds, animals, and insects floating around, with a raging momentum. Only Fish Gill scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Ghost King, Bull-headed Horse-faced, you guys have the highest strength here. This burden will naturally fall on your heads. I wonder if you are willing?"
"Of course I am willing! I have a sore back and back pain every day now, but I want to see which blind thing dares to sneak away without permission!"
The Ghost King gritted his teeth and said fiercely, shaking the demon-suppressing bell in his hand very hard.
Although the bull-headed horse-faced man didn't speak, he took out a piece of cloth from somewhere and rubbed the cold steel fork in his hand over and over again, laughing from time to time.
Such a situation, even if it is reflected in the eyes of the people in the Ghost Hall who are used to seeing life and death, they still can't help but feel a little nervous, as if they are the lambs to be slaughtered, and they are inexplicably nervous.
