"If the identity is discovered, it will be detrimental to our actions, so you should stop arguing."
Seeing that I had made a decision, the voices of several people gradually weakened and they no longer insisted on entering the underworld.
"Xiao Chengzi, as I said before, no matter whether you succeed or not, don't be reckless when encountering danger, safety first."
Lonnie asked me solemnly.
"Yeah, Nee, I know what to do."
After saying that, I didn't stay too long, said goodbye to everyone, and walked out of the store.
Immediately, I took a taxi and walked towards the 307 bus stop sign.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, bus No. 307 arrived late and stopped in front of the stop sign.
The car door opened, I got in the car directly, and at the same time released the turbid corpse gas, I sat in the back seat of the car familiarly, turning a blind eye to the ghosts in the car, and closed my eyes alone to rest.
More than an hour later, the bus drove through the Road to the Past and arrived at the last stop, the City of the Past.
I got out of the car and ran straight through the City of Death, along the Styx River, towards the Song Emperor City, and ran all the way.
Not long after, a ghost town standing in the wilderness came into view.
Song Emperor City, three large characters carved on the city gate clearly appeared in my sight.
At this time, the city gate in the middle was wide open, and countless ghosts were coming and going, creating a bustling scene.
I quickly stepped forward and walked toward the city gate.
The ghost soldiers guarding both sides of the city gate were checking the ghost people entering and leaving the city.
I followed a group of ghost soldiers and was about to sneak into the city, but I was stopped by a young ghost soldier.
"Stop, where is your ghost certificate?"
The young ghost soldier stared at me and said viciously.
"Ghost certificate?"
I was stunned: "Do you still need a ghost certificate to enter and leave Song Emperor City now?"
"nonsense!"
The young ghost soldier shouted: "Today, our Song Emperor City is prospering under the leadership of Lord Corpse Demon, which has aroused the jealousy of other major ghost cities."
"In order to prevent spies from sneaking into the city and causing damage, you must have a ghost certificate."
I smiled and said, "Little brother, I was in a hurry today and forgot to bring my ghost certificate. Can you just let me go once? I really have something urgent to do when I go to the city."
As I said that, I took out a piece of black soul wood and handed it over, hoping to make him accommodating.
"Want to bribe me? No way!"
The young ghost soldier knocked the black soul wood to the ground with a slap, his expression was extremely stern.
"I don't care what emergency you have. Anyway, you can't enter without a ghost certificate!"
Seeing the young ghost soldier's resolute attitude, I couldn't help but nodded with relief.
"Little brother, you did a good job."
"If all the ghost soldiers fulfill their duties like you, then our Song Emperor City will become an impregnable city, and no one with evil intentions can even think of sneaking in!"
When the young ghost soldier heard my compliment, he was a little confused for a moment.
I guess I haven't figured it out yet, why should I praise him when he refused me to enter the city.
At this moment, a ghost soldier captain not far away noticed the dispute here and walked over quickly.
"Ali, what are you yelling about? What happened?"
The captain of the ghost soldier came over muttering, and was about to say something to the young ghost soldier, but when he saw me, he suddenly trembled.
Then, with a pop, he knelt on the ground.
"My subordinates have met the Lord of the City!"
The group of ghost soldiers behind him also recognized me and knelt down one after another.
"I've met the Lord of the City!"
I smiled and waved my hands and said, "Everyone, get up. I thought you had all forgotten me."
Strictly speaking, it has only been more than a month since I last left Song Emperor City. In terms of Yincao, it is only more than ten days.
It wasn't a long time, and many ghost soldiers had seen me, so it wasn't surprising that they recognized my identity.
"My subordinates dare not!"
The ghost soldier captain said tremblingly.
"Ali, why don't you kneel down!"
Immediately, he grabbed the frightened young ghost soldier next to him and shouted sternly.
The young ghost soldier knelt down with a bewildered face, but his eyes were full of confusion. It seemed that until now, he had never thought that I was actually the lord of Song Emperor City.
"Sir, Ali is new here, so he doesn't know you, sir. I hope you will atone for your sins!"
The captain of the ghost soldier begged me for mercy on behalf of the young ghost soldier.
"It doesn't matter,"
I said calmly: "He didn't do anything wrong. Instead, he did something right and should be rewarded."
"This piece of black soul wood should be considered as your reward."
I pointed to the black soul wood on the ground and said.
"Ali, why don't you thank the city lord quickly!"
The captain of the ghost soldier touched the young ghost soldier and said sternly.
"Thank you, thank you, Lord City Lord!"
The young ghost soldier finally woke up from a dream and said hurriedly.
"Brother, you're doing a great job, keep up the good work."
I patted the young ghost soldier on the shoulder, then walked through the city gate and walked into Emperor Song's city with my hands behind my back.
Originally, I wanted to walk around the city to see how the ghosts at the bottom of Song Emperor City live now, but within a few minutes of walking, I heard a clicking sound behind me.
Looking back, he saw a group of ghost generals galloping towards them on tall horses.
After arriving in front of me, the group of ghosts dismounted and knelt down on one knee towards me.
"My subordinates didn't know that the Lord of the City was coming back, and that he was far from welcome!"
I glanced around and found that these were all high-level officials of Song Emperor City. When I left Song Emperor City, I had asked them to assist the Xudu Ghost General to manage Song Emperor City.
"Where is Xudu now?"
I didn't waste any time and asked directly.
"Back to the city lord, Lord Xudu, they are fishing outside the city."
The leader of the ghost general said respectfully.
"Lord City Lord, do you want to recruit Lord Xudu? I will go and inform him immediately..."
"Need not,"
I waved my hand and said, "Tell me his specific address and I will go find him myself."
The ghost general told me an address, which was in a desolate ghost land more than ten kilometers outside Song Emperor City.
There is a black water river there, which is a tributary of the Styx River. There is a special black water monster fish in it, which is delicious.
The weak-bellied ghost will often go fishing ever since he discovered that place.
However, due to poor technique and the scarcity of this kind of strange fish, Xudu spends most of his time fighting the air force.
After knowing the location of Xudu, I rode on the ghost general's soul horse and ran wildly outside Song Emperor City.
After leaving Song Emperor City and running for another ten minutes, I saw a cold black water river not far away.
A fat man with a wide body squatted on the river bank, sinking a fishing rod made of soul wood into the river, and concentrated on fishing.
Next to him, there was a jug of old wine. This guy sat for a while, then picked up the jug and drank a few sips, mumbling to himself.
"I don't believe it today, I have to catch a strange fish!"
"I heard that the fish in Qingshui River in Yangshi is the real delicacy. It would be great if I can try it sometime..."
