red and white

The fog was thick and cold.

Mu Gesheng threw out the money and kicked away the ghost in front of him. He stood on the yin-yang ladder, surrounded by glowing green light.

The Yin-Yang Ladder leads directly from Yangjian to Fengdu, with nine turns and loops. The journey is quite long, and he traveled fast all the way, only less than half way, but he has already killed several ghosts along the way.These ghosts never leave Fengdu, and Mu Gesheng went to and from the Yin-Yang Ladder several times, and he never saw anything on the stairs.

Now a hundred ghosts are running around, which proves that there is chaos in Fengdu city.

Mu Gesheng was a little worried, he rushed in rashly, he really underestimated the enemy, Song Wentong was not there, he couldn't light the small sky lantern, he could only come and fight one by one.And as he got deeper and deeper, more and more ghosts appeared, and these things could not be allowed to go up, but could only be intercepted and killed on the spot.At the same time, he must go down, go to the end, and close the Yin-Yang ladder.

As for how he would get out after it was turned off, and what the situation in Fengdu was like—Mu Gesheng spent money to suppress one ghost, and then kicked the other one down the long ladder.

He has no time to take care of it.

The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the water vapor seems to condense into a shape, like slippery hands, pulling people to stand still.Mu Gesheng gradually couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, there was fog everywhere, only the stairs extended infinitely downward.

He stopped abruptly.

Something is wrong, something is obviously wrong.

At the same time, Fengdu, Chengxiguan.

Looking down from above, all the Yin soldiers came out of the land of Abi, but they were not as solemn and solemn as in the past, but they were attacking the city wall of Xiguan City like a siege.

Standing at the top of the city are the handsome ghost kings from all sides, leading ghost soldiers and ghost generals to resist the battle. The earth shook and rocks shook the sky, ghosts howled and horses neighed, gusts of wind formed vortices, completely turning Chengxiguan into a battlefield like Shura .

"Steady! Hold steady!" Cui Ziyu stood at the head of the city, staggered by the strong wind, "Suppress the southeast! Don't mess up!"

There are several figures hanging from a very high place, they are Hades of the Ten Palaces, Wu Nian and Wu Zixu.

One of the kings of Hades said: "My lord, for a while now, the rescue of Feng has been in dire straits."

"Our family is dead, so we don't care about what we have." Wu Nian stood in mid-air, eating melon seeds, and looked at the people around him, "Once this formation is opened, all ghosts will come out, and Fengdu will be in a difficult situation, but you will die." In prison, have you thought about it?"

"Don't fall into Feng." Wu Zixu shook his head, "Please start the battle."

"I'm in hell, I don't know about Abi." Wu Nian spat out the melon seeds, his red mouth and white teeth were calm and calm, "Let's say it's just right for a fight, and the Feng is getting more and more crowded. The Palace of Hades can't control it, just let the underworld Soldiers come to clear the field."

The girl's words were like a slap in the face, but the Kings of Hades didn't show any anger, they just said: "Master, think twice."

"You really should think twice. If the things in this pass come out, you may not obey the orders of the King of the Ten Palaces. At that time, no one in Fengdu will be able to sit securely." Wu Nian glanced at Wu Zixu with a half-smile, "Including Wu Zixu." Shi, right?"

Wu Zixu remained silent, but bowed deeply to Wu Nian.

Wu Nian looked at him and sighed, "There is a law of mutual perfection in the world, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve both—let's go, let's not be filial to our children and grandchildren."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Nian took off in the air and leaped directly above the battlefield, turning flowers with his hands, forming a series of complex patterns. In an instant, the brilliance flowed, and a flower ball appeared out of thin air.

Wu Nian bowed and jumped again, and the thick clouds above Chengxiguan dispersed. She stood alone at a very high place, with her slender waist folded and her head bowed, like a girl who is performing all kinds of operas in a concentration of Wangchuan ghosts. Playing with a flower ball in a serious case.

The sound of killing and cutting is all silk and bamboo, breaking the formation and dancing.

Cui Ziyu looked up at the figure in mid-air, and the rough golden light traced the flames, outlining a burning red.

In the end, Wu Nian threw the flower ball in the air, and the flower ball in his hand shot up into the sky, and exploded into a red lotus flower in mid-air.Wu Nian sat cross-legged in the center of the flower, pointing to the sky with one hand and pointing to the ground with the other, golden seal characters emerged from the surroundings, and the lotus blossomed slowly from bud to pistil.

Everyone in the world thought that only the Jinwu lamp could light the long night of Fengdu, but at this time, the lotus flower bloomed in midair, shining brightly like daytime.

At the same time, a large array lit up into the sky under Chengxi Pass, and the two complemented each other, enveloping countless Yin soldiers, the sky and the earth were silent, and the light was as brilliant as a flood.

The kings of Hades from the Ten Halls lined up on the city, bowing their heads one after another.

Wu Zixu looked into the sky, and said softly: "The eternity of the dark night, Tai Sui fell down and sat on the lotus."

"There is no limit."

Cui Ziyu stood outside the city gate, and bowed to Guanghua on a high place, and all ghosts knelt behind him, endlessly.

After a long time, the lotus flower withered and the light fell, and the city of Fengdu was once again shrouded in darkness.

But the west pass of the city was empty, and all the Yin soldiers disappeared.

Mu Gesheng heard the sound of dripping water.

At first he thought he had arrived at the bank of the Wangchuan River, but the surrounding fog still lingered. There would never be such a heavy fog at the bank of the Wangchuan River. Mu Gesheng looked around and found that the haunting ghosts had disappeared at some point. .

Li Gui's resentment is deep and will not subside easily, and there is chaos in Fengdu, which is a good time to run away.Now it suddenly disappears, either the Fengdu Rebellion has been resolved, or they are hiding something.

There was silence, save for the continuous sound of dripping water.

Tick, tick, tick.

tick, tick,

Tick.

The sound of water seemed to be coming from the front, and it seemed to surround it in all directions. Mu Ge took several steps, tentatively stretched out his hand forward, and felt his hand was cold.

What he touched was not water, but some kind of hard substance with the roughness of leather.Mu Gesheng's eyes changed, and he quickly pulled back, and the next moment a blade slashed at his face, breaking through the thick fog, and swung straight down towards the place where he was standing just now——

What he just touched was a piece of armor!

Mu Gesheng's brain suddenly became dizzy, there were many ghost officials in Fengdu wearing armor, but connecting all the recent events together, there was only one possibility that came to his mind at the first time - Yin soldiers!

He tried his best to turn his head to look, only to see that the bluestone on the steps was cracked, and a large bronze knife was slashing across it, the handle of the knife roared, but the person holding the knife could not be seen.The Yin-Yang Staircase is made of Jiuyou bluestone, it is cold and hard, absolutely unbreakable by iron, before Mu Gesheng had time to catch his breath, there was a sudden tremor on the steps under his feet, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from the depths of the ground, mixed with faint The sound of clappers.

In an instant, Mugesheng's face changed. The sounds of armor, bronze knives, horseshoes, and clappers—even if he was an idiot, he could understand it. There is no doubt that the Yin soldiers who were supposed to riot in the West Pass of the city ran away for unknown reasons. Here comes the yin and yang ladder!

The Yin-Yang Ladder is on the bank of the River of Forgetfulness, far away from the Land of Abi. The Yin soldiers would have to cross at least the entire Fengdu City if they wanted to break into it. What happened in Fengdu?

The Ten Palaces of Yama, the Ten Great Yin Commanders, the Four Great Judges, and the guards of the Yin-Yang Family, all of them can't stop them?

Mu Gesheng didn't dare to procrastinate, he had absolutely no chance of winning against the Yin soldiers, he was about to get out and retreat quickly, and then he gave a sudden meal——

He retreated, with a city of people on his head, who will guard?

If he doesn't retreat, Mu Gesheng knows very well that he will definitely lose.

At the critical moment, Mu Gesheng's thoughts changed sharply. The most urgent thing is to never allow the Yin soldiers to climb the Yin-Yang Ladder and reach the world. Between the tens of thousands of stone steps, only a chance of life can be won.

There is no other way.The sound of horse hooves was within reach, Mu Gesheng turned around, adjusted his breathing, and pressed a few acupuncture points. This is a method he learned from Song Wentong, which can sharpen the five senses, increase the pace of the body, It makes the heart blood supply to the whole body faster and makes people excited, but there is also a defect that the pain will be doubled.

The iron cavalry running in the front was already very close to him. Mu Gesheng bent down and kicked the horse's belly. The horse was frightened, and the Yin soldier on the horse fell to the ground. , One hit the Yin soldier's head, and the other was stuffed into the mouth of the war horse.The Yin soldier was suppressed by the mountain ghost with money, and remained motionless. Mu Gesheng pulled out the gun from the opponent's hand, stepped on the horse, and chopped off the head of the Yin soldier behind him with a knife, and then swung his backhand, drawing a dazzling cyan arc, cutting off the front The horse's feet.

Mu Gesheng understood that he could not fight with Yin soldiers. He was not good at cold weapons, and he could only use them according to the situation in his hands. If the slash just now was done by Song Wentong, it would be enough to overturn all the cavalry within ten feet. .But he can only cut off the horse's foot by taking advantage of it, and take advantage of the opportunity to pass through when the Yin soldiers fall. His purpose is not to fight, but to create chaos.

Seeing the chaos in front of the Yin soldiers, Mu Gesheng rushed into the formation. Normally, this move is tantamount to courting death, but these Yin soldiers seem to have just gone through a big battle, and their strength has been weakened.He spent money with a mountain ghost in his mouth, and tried his best to avoid the attacks from all around him, but fighting immediately was not his specialty, and it didn't take long for him to be covered with wounds of all sizes, the deepest one was at his waist, which was cut open with a single knife, and blood flowed horizontally .

Running, running desperately, Mu Gesheng used the mountain ghost to spend money to motivate the horses, and each person and horse almost became an afterimage.

The redoubled pain whipped his nerves, and Mu Gesheng tried his best to stay awake. He estimated the distance all the way, and the remaining Yin-Yang ladder was not long. As long as he reached the bottom, he could use the mountain ghost to spend money to forcibly seal the long ladder.However, in the next moment, Mu Gesheng suddenly felt that the top of his head was dark, and a huge shadow was pressing towards him!It was an extremely tall Yin soldier, riding a black horse into the sky, and stomped hard on his head!

Mu Gesheng didn't have time to direct the horse to avoid, hurriedly took out the money from the horse's mouth, rolled over, barely avoiding the falling horse's hooves, the whole body fell on the bluestone steps, rolled down a long way, and finally hit a wall Before the bronze lampstand.

Mu Gesheng's face was covered with blood, and he tried his best to stand up, he knew he was in the end, this bronze lampstand was the end of the Yin-Yang Ladder, there was the sound of water not far away, it was Wangchuan.

The Yin soldiers who had just chased and killed him reined in their horses not far away, and there was a jerk sound, as if someone was secretly grinning, Mu Gesheng vaguely saw someone raising a knife not far away, it was a throwing movement, aimed at his head.

He spat out the money in his mouth, accompanied by a big mouthful of blood, then dipped his index finger in the blood and wrote, quickly drawing a complex rune on the ground.A sharp and long howl came from the air, straight to his eyebrows, Mu Gesheng had no time to dodge, and shouted violently: "Shut up!"

In the next second, heart-piercing pain came from the top of his head, Mu Gesheng's eyes went dark, and he completely lost consciousness.

He heard the sound of clappers.

There was a heavy snowfall in the sky, and everything you could see was pure white.

Mu Gesheng was lying in the snow, and heard singing rising from the ground, long and long, sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes like threads like strands, sometimes like water like waves.

The sky and the earth are gray, let’s have a cup of tea.

The sun and the moon are long, filling one sleeve.

The mountains and rivers are vast, and Danqing is a copy.

All living beings hesitate, floating for a day.

where am I?Mu Gesheng struggled to sit up, and found that he was wearing big white sleeves, there was nothing in the world, only Baixue and Changge, and the faint sound of clappers.

I am dead?Mugesheng thought to himself, after Tian Suanzi's death, his soul will be scattered and he will not enter reincarnation. Is this the place where he will end up?

No, not right.He realized that he was not a fortune teller yet.So what is this place?

Mu Gesheng sat there for a while, looked up at the sky, and found that those were not white snow, but paper money all over the sky.

The paper money is sprinkled, falling to the ground and turning into snow, the world is silent, only white.

After a while, he jumped up suddenly, and ran towards the place where the sound of the clapper came. He ran barefoot in the snow, and his footprints meandered all the way, but were quickly covered by the heavy snow.

The singing was long, and Mu Gesheng didn't know how long he had been running without feeling cold. Finally, at the end of his sight, he saw a figure holding a wooden clapper with his sleeves flying, singing the same four lines of the song repeatedly.

When Mu Gesheng finally ran forward, before he could speak, he asked, "Where did you come from? Where are you going?"

"I come from Wangchuan." Mu Gesheng paused, and said, "I want to go to the human world."

After an unknown amount of time, the man in white knocked on the clapper in his hand and sang a sentence leisurely.

"The soul is back—"

Mu Gesheng woke up suddenly and sat up abruptly.

The sound of water is murmuring, and the green lights are flickering.

"Are you awake?" The rower in front turned his head, "How do you feel?"

Mu Gesheng sat anxiously just now, and felt dizzy for a while, and it took him a long time to see clearly that the person in front of him was Wu Nian.The other party was rowing a boat, surrounded by green lotuses in full bloom, they should be in Wangchuan.

"This is me..." Mu Gesheng looked down at himself, he was wrapped into half a zongzi, and there were almost no intact parts all over his body, he tried to move his arms, and there was a sharp pain.

"You fought against the Yin soldiers a few days ago and narrowly closed the Yin-Yang ladder, but the gap between the two sides was too great. You overwhelmed yourself and died of serious injuries in the end." Wu Nian said leisurely: "We have met for a while, and our family will send you off. Chuan, enter the palace of Hades, and have a good pregnancy in the next life."

"Grandpa, please stop teasing. Whose family doesn't enshrine the dead? They are buried wrapped in bandages." Mu Gesheng said with a headache, "How long have I been in a coma? What happened?"

"Boring boy." Wu Nian rolled his eyes and said while paddling: "You have been asleep for seven days, thanks to you stuffing the mountain ghost's money into your mouth and hanging your life, the boy from the Yao family healed your wounds himself , has just improved, otherwise you may not be able to get out of bed for a year or so."

"Three or nine days? What about others?"

"I came to Fengdu in a hurry, and I'll go back after treating your injuries. Now everyone is busy."

"I saw Yin soldiers on the Yin-Yang Ladder, what's going on?"

"That's what our family did."

"what did you say?!"

"Our family is Tai Sui, who ruled Fengdu hundreds of years ago. As the elder of the yin and yang family, he also has the duty to guard Fengdu." Wu Nian said: "On September [-], when the Yin soldiers leave the customs, Fengdu will inevitably be ruined, so our family made a move. , using a large formation to transfer all the rioting Yin soldiers to the Yin-Yang Ladder."

"Do you know what the consequences of this will be?!"

"I know, but it only consumes 500 years of cultivation."

Wu Nian looked at Mu Gesheng who was choking, raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, our family knows what you mean. Yin soldiers entering the Yin-Yang Ladder will bring disaster to Fengdu, and the world will inevitably be ruined."

Mu Gesheng didn't know what to say, the trade-off between pros and cons was clear to both sides.

And he could probably guess why Wu Nian did this.

"When the Yin-Yang Ladder is closed, the road from the human world to Fengdu has already been cut off, but you can return to the human world by going upstream along the River of Forgetfulness." Wu Nian said: "You consume too much, and the mountain ghosts you can use to spend money are not as powerful as you can use. In case, last time you managed to seal the Yin-Yang Ladder, but it couldn't hold it for long."

"...how much time do I have?"

"You've been in a coma for seven days, and it's about half a month before the Yin soldiers break through the seal." Wu Nian said, "Whether to advance or retreat, whether to leave or stay, prepare early."

"What do you mean?"

"You understand." Wu Nian turned his head and glanced at Mu Gesheng, "The Yin soldiers rioted, and even Yama of the Ten Palaces was helpless. There is nothing to suppress the grievances accumulated in the land of Abi for thousands of years, and can only be resolved by killing."

"With your strength, it is impossible to defend."
