Chapter 626: Sneaking into the City of Wasted Death(1/2)
"Death city in vain?"
Suddenly hearing Hu Ma mention it, Erguotou was startled: "Why are you asking about this ghost place?"
Hu Ma pondered for a moment and said slowly: "For investigation."
"If the news I got before is correct, the demon mirror built by the noble Zhang and Tongyin Meng is related to this place."
"..."
Now that he has not made up his mind whether to present Hepan to Erguotou, Zhao Sanyi from the Zhao family and Chen Abao from the Chen family approached him, saying that they wanted him to deliver a message to remind the Hu family.
But the two of them probably still didn't feel too reassured about their old-year-old master. At the most critical point, they just said this vaguely:
If the Hu family brother wants to get help, then he should go to Guli Village, thirty miles outside the city, and meet the two of them...
They probably thought that as long as they said it was a waste of time, the "descendants of the Hu family" would immediately understand.
But I understand, I don’t understand...
He is a person who keeps the year old, and the City of Wasted Death is in the underworld, which can only be seen after entering the underworld. However, through his cultivation, up to now, he has never been to the underworld once.
After all, when a person who watches the New Year goes to the underworld, his soul needs to leave his body, and his ability is useless.
Even the New Year's Book mentions a lot of clever ways to escape ghosts, but none of them can allow people to travel to the underworld in the physical body.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on the ancestors of the Hu family. They probably never thought that there would be a Shou Sui in the Hu family.
However, I don’t understand, but Brother Erguotou understands...
The old man comes from a ghostly background, is knowledgeable and capable, and has even climbed a bridge. What could be more convenient than asking him?
"Is it related to this ghost place?"
When Erguotou heard Hu Ma mention the demon mirror, he suddenly became serious and whispered: "Then the matter will be a bit difficult to handle."
"This City of Wasted Death is not a good place to go. Although it has a good reputation and is known to be in the underworld, according to legend, only the ten surnames and the officials around them can find it. You... what do you mean?
Why don’t you ask that noble person from the Hu family?”
"..."
"That's the problem..."
Hu Ma sighed deeply and said, "I've already asked, but he... doesn't know either!"
"What the hell?"
Erguotou was confused: "You don't mean to tell me that the descendants of the Hu family are really stupid?"
"You can't say that..."
Hu Ma was a little embarrassed, but she became serious, sighed deeply, and whispered: "He is actually very smart, kind, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and capable..."
"It's a pity that the Hu family has paid too much for Zhenzhen Mansion. In fact, outsiders only think that this family has a single seedling left, but they don't know that even he was once sent by the Meng family.
The ghosts who came to Laoyin Mountain were tortured to the point of almost losing their lives."
"In other words, he had already lost his life, and it was the old Da Zhu Dao of the previous generation who always resorted to ghost ways to save him, but that Da Zhu Dao, because of this... Alas!"
"He is actually..."
After saying this, he paused slightly, as if he had made up his mind to be cruel, and said in a low voice: "A trip to Laoyin Mountain is very tiring."
"What?"
Erguotou was suddenly surprised: "What does this mean?"
"It was all the Meng family who harmed him before..."
Hu Ma looked worried, sighed, and said: "Others only think that the Hu family is mysterious, but that's because he has to be mysterious..."
"When it comes to ghost walking skills, I think he may not even be as good as you, brother. But now, he has just taken over the Zhenzheng Mansion and is supporting the ghost walking family, but he doesn't think about anything else and just wants to go to Tong Tong.
Revenge of the Yinmeng family."
"Well, I often hear him secretly lamenting that he was a child prodigy at the time. He could read at the age of three and became a ghost at the age of five. But now he is a disabled person. He can only hide in Laoyin Mountain and play such tricks in the ghost world. However,
You can’t rely on your true ability to fight with the opponent..."
"..."
"Ah this..."
Erguotou was silent for a long time as he listened, as if countless questions in his heart were solved instantly.
But while I was relieved, I also felt a little strange: Why does this sound familiar?
"But the dignified descendants of the ten surnames, the head of the Zhencong Mansion, have ended up like this because of their personal feud with the Meng family. This is our opportunity."
Hu Ma sensed the change in Erguotou's mentality, and took the opportunity to say: "Now he is imprisoned in that small mountain village, and he only lives under the protection of the Lord of Laoyin Mountain. Although the Zhencong Mansion has been opened and the momentum has increased, he has too many things to do.
I can’t care."
"Otherwise, how could you take that Zi Tai Sui so easily?"
"Haha, his surname today is actually not Hu, but... Bai!"
"..."
"Damn it, that's what it is!"
When Erguotou heard this, his suspicion disappeared and he even got a little excited: "Let me just say, how dare you be named Hu?"
"Even I, who was originally named Hu, didn't dare to say that my surname was Hu anymore after the Meng family came to Mingzhou!"
"Since you are a descendant of the Hu family, you are subject to restrictions and dangers every step of the way, so it is safest to change your surname!"
"..."
"Huh? Your surname is Hu?"
Hu Ma was a little surprised. It turned out that she and Erguotou were half-brothers...
On the face, he said: "I think he is too cautious, so what if my surname is Hu? Aren't my surnames also Hu? When he was willing to pull me out and give me a chance, it was actually because my surname was Hu."
"..."
"Haha, that's because you were too careless. According to me, you should have changed your name early. In fact, at first, I even suspected that you were from the Hu family..."
Erguotou laughed, but Hu Ma was shocked.
"Kidding."
Erguotou smiled and said: "When I just arranged for you to join the Red Lantern Club, I quietly went to Laoyin Mountain to learn more about you and found out all the eighteen generations of your ancestors. Of course I knew that you had nothing to do with the Hu family.
"
"Besides, that person is also a member of the ghost family. Even if it is really abolished, he would rather die than follow the path of keeping the old age. The division between the two is too big to make it work!"
'He asked about me?'
After hearing what Erguotou said, Hu Ma felt a little surprised: 'Then how did he ask about the eighteenth generation of my ancestor?'
‘The Hu family in Laoyin Mountain only has three generations in total...’
'Besides, why can't the main family of Zonggui learn to keep the old age? What does this division he refers to mean?'
‘…’
I originally wanted to fool Erguotou, and laid the foundation in advance so that it would be convenient when discussing cooperation in the future, but now I have some doubts in my heart.
But at this critical moment, he didn’t mention it much, and just thought for a moment: “Then…”
"The City of Wasted Death is not a good place. Only the ten surnames and the closest and most trusted people around them can find it."
Erguotou's voice became more solemn and he whispered: "But if you find me..."
"...I can really do it!"
"..."
Hu Ma was slightly startled: "Eh?"
Erguotou smiled and said: "Don't forget that the Yin and Yang Scenery Plate is in my hand!"
"Does our sect have inheritance? This thing used to belong to the Hu family. With it in hand, I can even find the treasures left by the Hu family in the underworld. How can the City of Wasted Death be considered a
What?"
"But, do you really want to go?"
"..."
Hu Ma was startled for a moment and said seriously: "Not bad."
"Yu Gong, this matter is related to the life and death of the reincarnated person. I must go there. Yu Private, in fact, this descendant of the Hu family is a poor person. Moreover, he helped me. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have had the chance.
Get to know you."
"Since he can't make this trip himself, of course I, the stooge, will make this trip for him. If I can successfully complete this trip, it will be beneficial to everyone!"
"Brother, you're not going to help me, are you? After all, Miss Red Wine mentioned that first priority..."
"..."
