I nodded and then asked: "Brother Ghost, let me ask you, why did the ghost soldier punish you just now?"
The ghost brother sighed deeply: "Because the villain can't pay taxes and refuses to perform military service, he was caught by the ghost soldiers just now, so he was severely beaten."
I frowned and took the opportunity to continue asking. The ghost brother told me all the information I knew.
It turns out that the information I saw in the memory of the Three-Eyed Flamingo was not false, and the underworld was indeed recruiting troops to expand its strength.
And their goal in recruiting troops is to break out of the Yin Cao and enter the Yang world!
As for the purpose of Yin Cao's move, Brother Gui also doesn't know.
"The Lord of the City has stipulated that ghost people who do not want to perform military service need to hand over their secret treasures, such as black soul wood, soul resurrecting grass, soul condensing stone, etc. to be exempted from military service."
"If you don't even have these things, you have to pull out part of your condensed soul and use it as military pay."
I couldn't help but ask: "Withdrawing one's soul, wouldn't it be equivalent to disappearing?"
Ghosts are also a kind of life. If even part of their souls are extracted, their souls will gradually become transparent. In serious cases, they will fly away and never be reincarnated.
Harsh government is fiercer than tigers. It seems that these ghost people living in the underworld are not having an easy life.
"That's true,"
The ghost brother followed my words and continued: "But for us little ghosts who have nothing and don't want to participate in the war between Yincao and Yangshi, there is no other way to go."
"If I hadn't met you today, my lord, I would probably have faced a terrible outcome."
Yin Cao wants to launch a war against Yang Shi. This is indeed an important message, but why do they do this?
Does this move have something to do with the gods of death deep underground?
Regarding these questions, I naturally understood that it was impossible for Ghost Brother to know. After thinking for a while, I quickly came up with an idea.
If you want to get deeper information, you can only get close to the ruler of this ghost town.
Now for me, the first thing to do is to get close to the ruler of Emperor Song City.
"Who is the lord of your city?"
Thinking of this, I asked Brother Gui directly.
"It's Yin Shuai, the hornet."
The ghost brother answered truthfully.
Before entering the underworld, I had already obtained a lot of information about the structure of the underworld from Mr. Hu San, so I was not too surprised when I heard the name.
I have learned before that, in the thirty-two cities of Yin Cao, the ten palaces of Yama rule the ten core cities, and the ten Yin commanders are responsible for the ten peripheral ghost cities. The remaining twelve smaller ghost cities are composed of some who have obtained Taoism. The management of the Ghost King.
Outside the Thirty-Two Ghost City, there is a vast and vast ghost realm. There are many wild ghost kings there. But because of the huge gap in strength, they generally do not dare to invade the core area of Yincao. They just attract a group of evil spirits and occupy the mountain as kings. .
As for the green-faced ghost king we have to deal with, he was originally just a wild ghost king. But later, he got an unknown opportunity and his strength greatly increased. Therefore, he stole the City of Wasted Death and was recognized by Lord Yama of the Ten Palaces, so he became orthodox.
This Wasp Yin Shuai is one of the top ten Yin Shuai. Although he ranks at the bottom, he is still one of the serious ghost handsome men. He is not comparable to those wild ghost kings outside.
"In the entire Song Emperor City, apart from the Yin Shuai Huang, who else is there among the senior officials?"
I continued to ask.
"As far as I know, there are two major ghost generals below the Wasp Yin Commander, namely the Xudu Ghost General and the Thousand-Hand Ghost General. Below them are the ten major ghost envoys, and below the ten major ghost envoys are Tens of thousands of ghost soldiers..."
Brother Gui was telling the truth about the information he knew. Suddenly he raised his head and said, "Sir, why are you asking for this information?"
"hehe,"
I smiled and said: "As for me, I am somewhat famous in the Land of the Dead in the outside world. I have thousands of zombies under my command. It's just because those Xuanmen people continue to invade the Land of the Dead and compress our living space, resulting in the loss of our territory. Getting smaller and smaller."
"So, when I entered Song Emperor City this time, I just wanted to get to know your City Lord and see if the City Lord can carve out a piece of territory for our Corpse Clan to survive."
"Of course, if we join Song Emperor City, we will naturally become a part of Song Emperor City, and we will do our best for the Lord of the City in the future."
There was nothing wrong with my words. Brother Gui didn't have the slightest doubt. He just nodded and held his chin in deep thought.
"The Lord of the City has always been elusive. Even among us ghost people, few of us have seen him. However, I do know the whereabouts of the Xudu Ghost General."
"If your Excellency is interested, you can meet with the Void Belly Ghost General first and get some information."
I was immediately overjoyed and asked quickly: "No problem, where will the ghost with empty belly be?"
The ghost brother said: "The weak-bellied ghost always likes to go to the theater. Every Tuesday he goes to the Grand View Garden in the west of the city to drink and listen to the show. It just so happens that today is Tuesday. If you have any ideas, the ghost brother can take you there. Maybe Can you meet a ghost general with a weak belly?"
I nodded: "Okay, then I'll ask you to lead the way."
Brother Gui stood up and said respectfully: "It is an honor for Brother Gui to serve you."
After saying that, Brother Gui walked out of the alley on his own and led the way.
I followed Brother Gui and headed west. After crossing two wide avenues, a three-story wooden building appeared in front of me.
There is a plaque hanging in front of the wooden building, with three large bold characters of Grand View Garden written on it.
Many elegantly dressed ghosts were constantly coming in and out, and they seemed to be some distinguished ghosts.
A lonely wild ghost like Brother Gui is usually not qualified to enter the Grand View Garden, but because he was following me this time, no ghost dared to stop him.
The first floor is the tea room. Brother Gui and I directly stepped over the wooden stairs and went up to the second floor.
Facing the stage was a huge stage. On the stage were two ghosts in costumes, babbling and singing a sad ghost play.
There are more than thirty tea seats under the stage, and the ghosts in Chinese robes are sitting in front of the tea seats, eyes slightly closed, shaking their heads to the rhythm of the opera, looking very intoxicated.
Seeing that there were two empty seats in the back corner, Brother Gui and I walked over and sat down.
After sitting down, my eyes wandered around, searching for the figure of the ghost general in the dark ghosts.
Soon, I saw that there was a ghost in the center, and its aura was completely different from the ghosts around it.
This ghost is wearing black clothes and black armor, with black air lingering under the helmet. There are only a pair of ghost pupils inside, which shoot out cold light.
Behind this ghost, there are five ghost soldiers, standing solemnly with swords in hand.
