"There are indeed only a few of us in the Qiangqi Palace now. It's okay for you to stay here, Mr. He. As for your friend, we can't leave the Qiangqi Palace too far now, and we can only wait for him to enter the area by himself. "

Although the bitter-faced Yin Chai had a bitter face, his words were very polite.

According to Qian Bashi's introduction, Qiongqi Hall ranks fifth among the ten halls, which is also the Yanluo Hall that is familiar in many folklore.

But according to the legend, the scene of the strict guard and the trial of the ghosts did not appear here.

From the analysis of this spy's words, there may be something else going on in the Qiangqi Palace, so that there are only two or three kittens now, and the spy doesn't even dare to leave his sphere of influence.

He Shu knew that something happened in the underworld.

The clues to these changes were found in Hu Laosan's complaints.

There is obviously "Huangquan Logistics" next to the city's first hospital, but the yin and yang channel is still in the mirror of a certain ktv toilet. Hu Laosan said that the breath has been chaotic recently, and the gap has been cracked. Many fugitives took the opportunity to escape from the underworld, living in chaos and even heading to the world For evil, they are exhausted and severely understaffed.

But at that time, He Shu was just a salted fish in the mortal world. He listened to it and went in with the left ear and the right ear came out. He never thought that he would end up in the underworld one day and witness the so-called chaos.

In fact, looking back now, there are traces of everything to be found. The increasing number of evil ghosts in the world, the mirror guards by the Naihe River almost couldn't suppress the chaotic ghosts, and the gang of gangsters they encountered during the chaos. Not afraid of the devil.

Being a ghost is like being a human being. When the yin and yang are out of order, those dead souls who have long been ready to move will inevitably rise up and turn everything upside down.

There has been no foreign population in Qianqidian for a long time.

Even if it's a human being, not a ghost, a few messengers are happy to chat with He Shu and rush to tell him about the ancients.

"It started many years ago, when I didn't even come to work."

The one who spoke was a errand with a smile on his face. He introduced himself as Le Shiyi, and the one with a bitter face was Ku Shisan.

He Shu was almost happy when he heard their surnames.

Pleasure and bitterness, is it possible that there are sweet and salty?

"It is said that at the bottom of this place, there once suppressed a great demon named Kun. This demon has been in the underworld for thousands of years, and it is said that he was caught in the underworld after causing serious harm. , I haven't been there, and I only heard from seniors who have been there once, that even ghosts are afraid of that place, and I can't stay there for a moment. I would rather go swimming in the Naihe River than go again..."

"Okay, you're so long-winded, I shouldn't let you talk!" Another person interrupted Le Shiyi impatiently."To put it bluntly, there is a legend that there are gods and beasts guarding that place, and you need ten palaces and ten warrants to enter. From ancient times to the present, no one can escape, but Kun still escaped."

He Shu asked curiously, "What's the name of this eldest brother?"

The other party snorted: "My surname is Tian, ​​Tian Xian Tian, ​​you can just call me Tian Twelve!"

There really was someone with the surname Tian, ​​and He Shu couldn't help laughing and crying, and looked at the last ghost who didn't introduce himself.

"Then the eldest brother of the ghost can't be Xian, right?"

"You're right, his surname is Xian, Xian Xian!"

Tian Twelve thought his colleague was long-winded, and reached out and pushed him away, speaking for himself.

"After Kun escaped, it caused a shock in the underworld, and it was very chaotic for a while. Forget about it. When it ran away, it made a lot of noise and took away the mirror by the way. You know the mirror, right?"

He Shu nodded: "The magic mirror looks at the shape, but it still slips through the net. The magic mirror shows the heart, and there is no way to hide it. I heard before that the magic mirror is still there. Did it come back later?"

Sweet Twelve: "It's a long story, Kun stole the mirror at the time, but the mirror was useless to him, so he made a deal with Beihao and gave the mirror to Beihao, um Have you heard of Beihao? It is also now the Chaos World Demon King, Kun himself fled from purgatory, left the underworld, and stirred up the world at the junction of yin and yang. This chaos has now become a zone of no concern, that is, he was at that time. made it."

He Shu: "The current situation of Qiong Qidian is also related to them?"

Sweet Twelve nodded and shook his head again: "It's completely related, and it's not right. After the Divine Mirror was stolen by the North, the underworld did fall into chaos for a while, but at other times, this chaos can be controlled. It's a pity At that time, Yangjian was also in a chaotic situation unseen in hundreds of years, the east and the west were turbulent, and people in the Yangjian had undergone earth-shaking changes in all aspects from spiritual to social.

He said it very vaguely, but He Shu probably knew when it was.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, under the impact of various unequal treaties, the two thousand-year-old monarchy and the agricultural society of men farming and women weaving were completely disrupted. Only by imitating the West from the body to the spirit can people be completely changed.

Wars, plagues, no stable government, no stable life, everyone lives in fear of precariousness, and there is a reflection in the underworld. The ghosts who died due to natural and man-made disasters are crowded with the underworld, and they are also in constant panic.

Tian Twelve sighed: "The Tenth Palace is busy day and night, and it is difficult to pass through so many dead souls, and there is not enough space in the world. At this time, someone proposed to cooperate with the west side and send some dead souls there, so as to relieve the pressure. ."

He Shu: "West?"

"It's the Western hell, what do you say so obscurely? You are afraid that your real name will cause the other party's induction, and this uncle is not afraid!"

Fengfeng interjected, it flapped its wings and landed on He Shu's shoulders, withdrew its claws, and its furry body deliberately pressed against the other's neck.

It tends to warm and avoid the cold, and likes warm places, especially places close to human body temperature, but Guanghan doesn't like to stick to it, only He Shu is used to it.

There is no living person in the underworld, and all see are cold ghost bodies, and now He Shu has finally arrived——

Fengfeng sighed comfortably, and moved his chubby body closer. Now that the Jade Emperor is here, he can't even think about it leaving.

Sweet Twelve smiled bitterly: "Since then, there have been differences of opinion in the ten halls. The first three halls are in favor of cooperation, and even take out the words used in the Western body in the Yangjian, but the latter five halls are firmly opposed, thinking that they have their own Since the underworld, it has never changed for thousands of years. If a living person dies in the homeland, the soul of the dead should be under the control of the home, how can there be a reason to hand over the dead souls under its jurisdiction? Over time, is it necessary to exist in this place?"

He Shu didn't expect that there is such a past here, and he felt it was novel and shocking, and he felt that his appetite was hung up, so he couldn't wait to ask.

"And then, which side has the upper hand?"

"Which side has not prevailed, this debate can't be settled, but the discord between the first three halls and the last five halls has already planted the root of disaster."

"What about the position of the Fourth Temple and the Fifth Temple?"

"White Tiger Hall and Qiongqi Hall have always been kind to people and impartial. The positions of King Chuguan and King Yanluo just have no position."

Isn't that a good old man, He Shu said heartily.

Tian Twelve seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "It is precisely because of the presence of these two temples that this delicate balance can be maintained, so that there will be no real conflict between the two sides, and the underworld can still function normally."

He Shu nodded: "That's true, so how did it become like this?"

Sweet Twelve: "I chased after the mirror, but there was one piece missing. Although the mirror without one piece can still be used, the rumors have never been less. Some people say that the fragments of the mirror were given to the first three temples. The Western Hell was a meeting ceremony, and some people said that the fragments were deliberately smashed by the North and kept privately. A fierce conflict broke out in the sixth hall, the first hall retreated, the hall master retreated, and Judge Zhou was in charge."

Although these old things have been simplified as much as possible, He Shu still feels a little dizzy, but he also knows that the underworld is not as peaceful as stagnant water for thousands of years as ordinary people imagined. There are also open and secret battles here. Intrigue.

Humans have selfish desires, and so do ghosts. Being a ghost is not a one-time thing. People like these evil people also have to work overtime and complain a lot, so when you can be a human being, you should still be a good human being.

"What you're talking about shouldn't happen right now, right?"

"Of course not, these are all things that happened a hundred years ago."

"Judge Zhou is in charge of the first hall, and then what?"

"Then I also heard about what happened next." Tian Twelve cleared her throat, "I heard that Judge Zhou went to the realm to do errands and brought back a green seal. This treasure can suppress ghosts and eliminate yin, and the ghost king Yin Jue is here. In front of him, he has to bow his head and obey orders—I haven’t seen them before, but they are quite mysterious anyway. With Qingxi in hand, Judge Zhou’s status has also risen with the tide, and it is completely different. Although there are still palace masters in the first three halls Yes, but they are vaguely headed by him. No way, I'm going to dry my mouth, Eleven brother, please tell me!"

Le Shiyi rolled his eyes at him, and then turned his pale and sad face to Byakugan...it was simply "beautiful".

He Shu smiled and said, "This week's judge is quite powerful. The hall master is not as powerful as him, and it sounds quite inspirational."

Le Shiyi sighed: "You didn't see him before, that's why you said that. If you met him, not only would you not use such a mocking tone, but you would immediately like this Judge Zhou. Not only is he eloquent, but also He treats people like a spring breeze. He is polite and amiable to all people, big and small. You say that we are working as errands, and there are always inconsiderate omissions? But this Judge Zhou is really, he can talk to him for a few words. Everyone likes him, you can't be convinced of this ability, can you?"

He Shu's smile gradually disappeared, and his brows frowned slightly.

"You said Judge Zhou, his surname is Zhou?"

"Judge Zhou, of course the surname is Zhou."

Le Shiyi was baffled and felt that what he asked was nonsense, so he replied nonsense.

He Shu: "What's his name? No, he didn't tell me his name... Do you know which city this Judge Zhou went to when he went to work in the world?"
