Just when everyone in the team was waiting to see Zhang Qi make an embarrassing joke, the waiter in the shop replied very crisply: "I know, sir, do you need me to help you show the way?"
Everyone's smiles froze on their faces.
Wang Jianguo, who had just taken half a sip of wine, made a "pop" sound and the wine sprayed all over the table.
This table of fine wine and delicious food is completely out of the question.
But there was no expression of regret or loss on everyone's face, it was just that the object of schadenfreude became Lao Wangtou this time.
Happiness never goes away, it just moves on to other people. qs
"Hello, Uncle Guo." Sun Jie said while suppressing a smile.
"Waiter! Don't talk nonsense! If you talk nonsense, I will smash your store!" Wang Jianguo shouted to the waiter pretending to be angry.
"How dare I lie to you, sir? Just go out and ask around. Everyone in Fengdu knows about that place." The waiter explained loudly.
Okay, this is definitely reliable information.
"Sir, do you need me to change this table for you?" the waiter said attentively.
"No need." Wang Jianguo said with a dark face, "Please tell me where that place is."
"You go west along the avenue, which is Liangjie Mountain. Once you enter the mountain, you can see the Ghost Kingdom Shrine. After entering the palace, follow the road and you will reach the underworld." The waiter said.
"Is it...that simple?" Liang Sicheng asked in confusion.
"Then what else?" the waiter asked in confusion, and felt that his tone was a bit harsh, so he changed his words and said, "We are close to the underworld, and everyone knows it. It's really hard for me to answer this question."
Zhang Qi was quite happy, but he didn't expect that he and Lao Wangtou would actually ask for the location of the underworld in a angry bet.
Lao Wangtou just said that he didn't need a waiter to change the banquet, which was not a joke.
After all, everyone in the team has important things to do and they are not here for sightseeing. Since they have found out the location of the underworld, they naturally want to rush to help as soon as possible instead of eating and drinking here.
Everyone was ready to check out and leave.
When Qi Zhen took out the money from the human race bag and prepared to pay the bill, something happened that no one expected.
The waiter looked at the two pieces of silver with a confused expression.
"What, not enough?" Qi Zhen asked doubtfully.
"No, no, sir, I can't accept your money." The waiter waved his hands repeatedly.
Everyone in the team was a little confused.
The waiter was probably afraid that he couldn't explain clearly, so he said "wait a moment objectively" and then disappeared.
The rest of the team looked at each other in shock.
When I came back, there was something extra in my pocket.
It's a stack of yellow and white paper money.
The expressions of everyone in the team changed drastically.
"You... all accept this?" Zhang Qi's voice was trembling.
The waiter didn't speak, just nodded.
"I would venture to ask, are you... a living person?" Wang Jianguo asked.
"No, I am a ghost. Without me, there is not a single living person living in Fengdu." The waiter replied matter-of-factly.
Everyone in the team looked at me and I looked at you, and suddenly felt a chill on the back of my neck.
The environment of this restaurant has also become gloomy due to psychological effects.
When they walked into Fengdu just now, maybe it was because the yin energy here was too strong, so they didn't think about it at all. In addition, the men here were all powerful, and they even thought that the other party had yin energy. He has strong Qi and is not afraid of the invasion of Yin Qi, so he can live here without any problems, but he never thought that the people here are actually ghosts.
"Then do you know that we are alive?" Qi Zhen asked doubtfully.
"Of course I know. The yang energy in your bodies is as frightening as the scorching sun. How could I not see it?"
Although the waiter's words were a bit exaggerated and perhaps a bit flattering, they also showed that being able to identify living people was actually not difficult for these ghosts.
"Then don't you feel strange?" Qi Zhen asked again.
"We often have some cultivators here, including fairies and monsters. If they are ordinary mortals, they will never be able to withstand the invasion of Yin Qi here. And most of the outsiders who come here are rushing to the underworld to have something to do. Yes, so people here are not surprised." The waiter explained.
Everyone was stunned.
"Then waiter, let me ask you, is this the underworld or the underworld?" Zhang Chi asked doubtfully.
"Our place is neither the underworld nor the yang world. If you want to be more serious, sir, just think of this place as the boundary between the yin and yang worlds." The waiter said.
Unexpectedly, the boundary monument between the Yin and Yang realms turned out to be a ghost town.
Everyone in the team had learned a lot, and they still had to pay for the drinks. However, everyone in the team didn't have any paper money with them, so they were worried for a while.
They each looked through their own space artifacts. Except for the medical equipment and medicinal materials in Zhang Chi's bag, which can turn living people into ghosts, they are really incomparable to the underworld.
Qi Zhen, who was flipping through the ethnography bag, suddenly turned pale and took out an inconspicuous ink stick from the bag.
As soon as the ink stick, which is only the size of a fingernail, is taken out, the room is filled with fragrance.
This is not an ink stick, but sandalwood.
As soon as this small piece of sandalwood appeared, the waiter's eyes instantly lit up.
Seeing his expression, Qi Zhen asked him if this thing could pay off the bill.
Unexpectedly, the waiter waved his hands repeatedly, but it was not that he refused to accept it, but that it was too expensive and they couldn't afford it.
Everyone looked at Qi Zhen in confusion and asked what it was.
Qi Zhen said sandalwood, right?
Wang Jianguo is talking nonsense. If it’s not sandalwood, can it be an ordinary stone? Our noses are not blind either.
But after thinking about it for a long time, Qi Zhen didn't remember when this thing came into her human race bag.
With Qi Zhen's money-obsessed personality, he would put good things into his bags when he saw them, but he would not take things without knowing their origins.
Then he seemed to remember something and threw a piece of sandalwood as big as a fingernail towards the waiter.
The waiter barely caught it.
"Just think of it as the money for the food and drinks on this table. There's no need to look for the rest." Qi Zhen waved her hand.
Seeing Qi Zhen's generosity, the waiter happily responded and brought out a few more jars of ghost and fairy brew, insisting that everyone accept them.
Wang Jianguo just looked away and was shocked. He was not polite to the other party and put the things into his spatial artifact.
After bidding farewell to the waiter, everyone walked quickly towards Liangjie Mountain.
The people on the street still gave them kind smiles, but at this moment, in the eyes of everyone in the team, they looked a little scary.
"Sure enough, every step we take is expected by others, or in other words, calculated." Qi Zhen said.
"What do you mean?" Wang Jianguo asked.
"I know where that sandalwood came from." Qi Zhen said.
Everyone looked at him doubtfully.
"Do you still remember the origin of this human race bag?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Didn't you change this from the preparation hall?" Zhang Qi asked.
"No, this is what Maitreya Bodhisattva exchanged with him." Nuolan said.
Only then did everyone remember that when the team was in Lingshan, Qi Zhen's human race bag and Maitreya Bodhisattva's were exchanged. Don't forget that the items in the preparation hall also came from various games, and Maitreya Bodhisattva Buddha is the true owner of the human race bag.
"So what do you mean..." Liang Sicheng asked, obviously understanding something.
Qi Zhen nodded.
"Yes, maybe Maitreya Bodhisattva knew that we were going to the underworld at that time, and naturally knew that we might face such a situation, so he left this thing in the human race bag in advance, and I didn't investigate carefully at that time. , so I didn’t pay attention." He said.
If things are really as Qi Zhen judged, wouldn't it mean that Maitreya Bodhisattva had already figured out what happened today before the team went to Guanzhou City to see Erlang God?
This is too scary, right?
.
While everyone was talking, they finally entered the Two Boundaries Mountain that the waiter mentioned.
The Yin Qi in Liangjie Mountain is heavier than that in Fengdu City, but the physiques of the team have already become extraordinary and holy, so naturally they are not afraid.
As the waiter said, this road is actually very easy to find, because after entering a mountain col, a majestic palace built on the mountain appears in front of you. The main body of the palace is obviously inside the mountain. There is only a very magnificent entrance to the palace. House number.
There are four large gilded characters on the black plaque above. I don't know who inscribed it.
Ghost Kingdom Shrine.
At this time, the gate of the shrine was opened, and it was pitch dark inside, so it was difficult to see clearly what was going on inside.
But the look of opening the door to welcome visitors from all directions still makes people feel a little weird.
The team did not rush in directly because there was a person sitting at the door.
There are gatekeepers at Nantianmen, and naturally there are gatekeepers in the underworld.
Unlike Wang Lingguan, who was not doing his job properly, the gatekeeper here, or to be precise, the gatekeeper, was sitting in front of the door, like a statue.
The team walked closer and saluted each other.
The man slowly opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes flashed away.
"I am the Lord of Taishan Mansion, who is here?" he said.
"We came from heaven and went to the underworld to help Yama defend his enemies." Qi Zhen said.
"Do you know that this is the boundary between Yin and Yang, maybe there is no return?" Lord Taishan asked again.
"Of course I know, but for the sake of the Three Realms, I have to do it." Qi Zhen added.
"Well, then let's go in."
He waved.
Then the scene inside the house changed suddenly.
Along this road, light blue rays of light light up one after another and extend into the distance. I don't know where it leads and how far it is.
It must be Netherworld.
Qi Zhen thanked the other party and filed in together with her teammates.
Mr. Taishan Mansion did not look back, but when the team disappeared from sight, he sighed deeply, feeling indescribably tired.
After entering the shrine, the team realized what those light blue rays of light were.
Those were faint ghost fires that suddenly lit up on the surrounding beams.
These will-o'-the-wisps also carved a straight path for everyone in the team. There was still darkness on both sides of the road, which was so bottomless that it made people feel heart-stopping.
"These are not ordinary darkness."
Nuolan said, her voice echoing in the empty environment.
