Lord Snake

After the car drove out of the old city, it took Gu Mingyuan a long time to realize that the route was wrong.Not only is it wrong, there is not even a street light on this road, not to mention the traffic lights, and the surroundings are too dark to see clearly. Even with the headlights on, you can't see the road, because Xuanming's car is driving fast and slow. Sure enough, he never reacted.

"Didn't you say go home? Where are you going?" Gu Mingyuan looked ahead and then turned his head to look out the car window, full of wonder.I don't know if it's because of the rain. It's too dark outside, so dark that the light can't see through. I can only vaguely see the blurred outlines of the mountains and the shadows of the trees. But if you look closely, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"I was going to go home, but now I have changed my mind." Xuan Ming turned his head and glanced at the Mowa who was crawling around in the back seat, "Let's go to the underworld."

As Xuan Ming's voice fell, Gu Mingyuan didn't have time to be shocked. Suddenly, the outline of an ancient city gate appeared in the dark front. When the car drove closer, the city gate and the words "Fengducheng" on the gate appeared. fully revealed.

The octagonal eaves of the entire city gate archway are tall and majestic. It is indeed an ancient architectural style, but the most eye-catching and gloomy thing is not the archway, but the couplets with white background and black characters on both sides.

The first couplet: Yin and Yang are separated from each other.

Lower face: Humans and ghosts are different from human ghosts.

The horizontal batch is naturally the three characters Fengducheng on the archway.

Gu Mingyuan only took one look and then withdrew his gaze. His brain went blank for a moment, and he blinked blankly.

"Don't look at the couplets." Xuanming drove the car directly into the city gate: "The couplets are for the dead."

Gu Mingyuan's reaction was inexplicably slow, and it took him a while to understand the meaning of Xuan Ming's words. In an instant, he felt chills all over his body. He obviously felt creepy, but his mood was surprisingly peaceful.This is a very contradictory psychological reaction, as if two completely different senses are tug-of-war, until the car enters Fengdu City, the contradictory and strong reaction is relieved. In fact, it took only a few seconds before and after, but Gu Mingyuan was stunned. In a cold sweat.

Fengdu City is not quite the same as in the rumors, the streets are wide and shops are lined up, people come and go, singing and dancing, the atmosphere seems to be very lively, but in fact, only the beating of Gu Mingyuan's own heartbeat, and even the sound of the car are quiet nothing.Such a lively but quiet discord makes people feel uncomfortable all over.

But it was only for a moment, their car crossed the street and stopped outside the ghost gate.There are ghost guards guarding the gate, but they are not wearing the ancient uniforms of officers and soldiers, but suits and leather shoes with straight backs, not like city guards, but like well-trained bodyguards. Not bad.

However, even so, they were not stopped when they went in. Xuan Ming held the magic baby in one hand and Gu Mingyuan in the other, which can be said to be unimpeded.

As soon as they entered the ghost gate, they saw the black and white impermanence running towards them in a hurry.

"Master Snake Ghost, why did you come here?" Hei Wuchang just finished asking, when he saw the magic baby under Xuan Ming's armpit, his eyes widened in surprise: "This..."

Xuanming took Hei Wuchang's words: "This magic baby should be dropped by the shadow demon. The magic baby fruit only bears fruit once in hundreds of years, and only one at a time. It needs to be carefully raised by magic energy to ripen."

Gu Mingyuan was a little confused.

What is Mowa Fruit?

He has only seen ginseng fruit in Journey to the West.

Such a chubby and cute ghost doll, could it be... fruit? !

Forgive him for his shallow knowledge and fantasy, but I can't accept it.

Gu Mingyuan kept looking at the Mowa, his thoughts turned all over the place, a little square.

However, Black and White Wuchang was very happy to hear Xuanming's words, and Heiwuchang even laughed out loud. He stretched out his hand and carried the baby over, patted his head, rubbed his buttocks, and then pinched his arms and legs: "This magic baby is indeed well-bred. Okay, but from the looks of it, it should be half a year before they are fully ripe, and the Shadow Demon seems to be in a hurry to pick them off in such a hurry."

"This baby is the lifeblood of the Shadow Demon. Even if he swallows those souls alive, without the last dose of magic baby, he will only be a shadow forever. If such a precious thing is lost, he will definitely come to get it. Now, we are truly turning passive into active." Bai Wuchang turned around and left as he spoke, "However, Shadow Demon has been practicing for thousands of years, so it must be difficult to deal with it alone. The matter is of great importance. I will take you to see Lord Yan."

Mowa should understand what they said, he was very anxious, he kept stretching out his arms to hug Gu Mingyuan, but Xuan Ming blocked him, and he was so anxious that he cried.However, even when he thought it was very dangerous, he still instinctively wanted to get close to Gu Mingyuan, thinking that Gu Mingyuan was the safest.

Gu Mingyuan looked at Mowa like that, with complicated emotions, and his brows were almost frowned.Because the attention was all on Mowa along the way, they were so entangled in patronizing and uncomfortable, and they didn't know how to enter the Hall of Yama. Anyway, they came back to their senses, and they met Yan Jun face to face.

The layout of Yan Luodian is not the same as that in the fairy tales. Although it is still an ancient building, most of the furnishings are modern, such as desks and computers, sofas and tea tables, and crystal chandeliers with bird totems on the head...but they are all modern furnishings. Not right, at least the crystal chandelier has a sense of time, and it is a popular luxury style in the 80s and [-]s.

Looking at Yan Jun again, he was wearing heavy and heavy ancient clothes, a wide robe with water sleeves, and a gilt crown. His aura was natural, majestic and inviolable, but it was incompatible with such an environment.The judge standing next to him was also dressed in ancient clothes. The clothes on his body looked a bit like ancient official uniforms, but he was holding a blue folder in his hand. This messy style of combining ancient and modern styles is simply blinding.

Just as Gu Mingyuan was looking around, Hei Wuchang had already handed the magic baby into Yan Jun's hands.

Obviously, except for Gu Mingyuan, everyone here knows the origin and function of the magic baby, and after getting this thing, they all feel that they have caught the handle of the shadow demon. Yan Jun even said a few words, and hurriedly told the judge Together, they took the magic baby to heaven, but they didn't tell them to leave, but told them to wait for news here first.

However, what is in front of Gu Mingyuan and the others right now is not only the trouble of Shadow Demon, but also that evil spirit who always sneaks fast and lingers.

Thinking of Xie Chong, Gu Mingyuan felt a little worried.

"That's right." Gu Mingyuan suddenly remembered something: "Since the evil purpose is for the things in my body, and the things are actually yours, why don't you just take the things and return them to their original owners, but Xie Chong wants to snatch it again, so he will only confront you head-on, wouldn't it just be a trap for you to win?"

Gu Mingyuan felt that life had been muddled since Snake Village. Apart from being pushed away by things instinctively, he had no time to think about the joints. Now that he suddenly thought of this, he couldn't understand it.

"Logically, that's right, but it can't be." Xuan Ming pulled Gu Mingyuan to sit down on the sofa: "The reason why Xie Chong put things on you is because I was sure I didn't want to hurt you, and secondly, you are right. It has no power to parry, but now it seems that the real reason should not be the case, but no matter what it is, now is not the time to take it out, leaving aside the Shadow Demon, if the thing is really taken away by me, Xie Chong will be coveted I don’t dare to come out, if I can’t solve it completely and let it go, it will be a disaster for the world, this evil spirit and shadow demon, devouring souls are serious sins, neither of these two can stay, they must be eradicated.”

It turned out to be like this...

Gu Mingyuan touched his heart, only to feel that there was a hot potato there.

"However, Xie Chong is just a young man. The so-called capturing the king first is the most important thing to deal with the shadow demon." Xuan Ming suddenly sneered and raised the corners of his mouth.

Gu Mingyuan was startled when he heard that: "You mean, Xie Chong and Shadow Demon are together."

Xuan Ming nodded: "Before this, I would not have thought of this." After a pause, he continued: "It's not just as simple as a gang, perhaps, the evil spirit was born for the Shadow Demon."

"Xie Chong is the descendant of Shadow Demon and Human?" Gu Mingyuan's eyes widened in shock. He still remembered that Qipo said that Xie Chong was a corpse girl before her death, and corpse girl was the child born from the union of a living person and Nasha.

"What are you thinking?" Xuan Ming was quite serious at first, and he laughed when he heard this: "The Shadow Demon was sealed at that time, how could he come out to reproduce with others, I mean, the evil is because of the Shadow Demon It just existed. The corpse girl appeared inexplicably at the beginning. It should have started from her appearance. Everything was a conspiracy, and it laid the foundation for the current development. The abyss cannot come out, but after thousands of years, any balance may be broken by time, and it is not impossible for one or two people to slip through the net and escape to do all kinds of evil."

"What's the matter?" As soon as Xuanming finished speaking, Black and White Wuchang walked in with a burly black-faced beard who didn't know when he left. It was the bearded man who said: "Since it was possible to seal the seal thousands of years ago Shadow Demon once, now it can also be sealed for the second time, and I heard that we just got a magic baby fruit, which is a good thing, with this, Shadow Demon itself is here again, maybe this time, we can really completely Get rid of this scourge!"

Gu Mingyuan was stunned when he heard that, what does this have to do with him?Even if he is the body of Shadow Demon, but now he is an ordinary mortal, what can he do?

Xuanming had already stood up to greet him, and shook hands politely: "Tianshi." Then he introduced to Gu Mingyuan: "This is Zhong Kui, the legendary celestial master who is very good at catching ghosts."

Gu Mingyuan was taken aback again. It turned out that this person was Zhong Kui, the celestial master. He fit the image in the legend, tall and mighty, with a ferocious face, but awe-inspiring righteousness.

Zhong Kui and Black and White Wuchang had already sat down opposite them, chatting with Xuan Ming, nothing more than complaining about life and death lately, how busy and troublesome they are.Gu Mingyuan didn't listen to their chat, he was wandering.

Seeing Gu Mingyuan in a daze, Xuan Ming asked him, "What are you thinking?"

"What is the real reason why you think Xie Chong put your inner alchemy here?" Gu Mingyuan revealed the key point before he tangled with Xuanming.

"Because this inner alchemy may have been raised by the shadow demon from the beginning, that is to say, the evil spirit has stolen my inner alchemy for so many years, and it may have been nothing more than a pill furnace from the beginning to the end, and you are the shadow demon itself, and you are the one. It is most suitable to be the existence of the alchemy furnace, but because of Du Hang's emotions and six desires, it gave birth to selfishness. It once thought of betraying the water and taking the inner alchemy as its own, so it has been with you for so long, so it has not shot you, and then we caught it Hold on, in panic, you hit the right side and put the inner alchemy in your body, but it was not reconciled, after holding me back for a while, it began to want to take the inner alchemy back when the Shadow Demon came out." Xuan Ming Half-closed eyes: "And my inner alchemy was first fostered by evil spirits, soaked in demonic energy, and then fostered by your flesh and blood body. When the time is right, this inner alchemy will be completely used by the shadow demon. With the inner alchemy, there will be demon babies." If they complement each other, he will cultivate his own body."

"There is nothing wrong with this analysis." Hei Wuchang hastily echoed: "Since this is the case, Xie Chong and Shadow Demon must have broken up, so let's kill him and use it, maybe..."

"No." Xuan Ming shook his head and interrupted Hei Wuchang's words: "The evil spirit broke into my net by mistake before, although it only used a ray of soul separated from its heart to attach to the puppet, it was still severely injured by the backlash. It has already been born again, even if it has selfish intentions, it dare not do it again. This evil spirit is cunning and ruthless, and it can bend and stretch. It must have asked Shadow Demon to take the blame. Articles are not advisable, but..."

Xuan Ming suddenly turned around to look at Gu Mingyuan, and reached out to stroke his heart.

"Now that the demon baby is in hand, since they use Mingyuan's flesh and blood to make the alchemy furnace, we might as well follow the plan, and Yan Jun went to the Heavenly Court to discuss the big plan in such a hurry, and this must be exactly what he thought of." Xuan Ming pressed the button. According to Gu Mingyuan's heart, he withdrew his hand.

Gu Mingyuan was terrified because of his actions, and Xuan Ming said that he was going to plan. Although he heard it in a cloud, he roughly understood the meaning. He should use himself as a bait to solve the shadow demon and evil spirit.Even though this was indeed a good idea, he still couldn't help feeling complicated when Xuan Ming said that.

But Xuanming's words were not finished: "But no matter what the final result of the discussion is, Xuanming has only one request, and that is to keep Mingyuan safe."

It is estimated that except for Heiwuchang, everyone here is a sensible person.Yan Jun's secret thoughts were exposed to the light so directly by Xuan Ming, Hei Wuchang was just as confused as Gu Mingyuan, but Bai Wuchang and Zhong Kui looked at each other with twinkling eyes.

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

It was only at this time that Gu Mingyuan reacted belatedly. It turned out that Yan Jun didn't simply stay with them, but his real intention was to temporarily stay in the underworld.

Gu Mingyuan thought about this, but suddenly remembered that they had all forgotten about it, and suddenly he was stunned, and turned around to grab Xuan Ming's arm.

Xuan Ming was taken aback by his pull, and subconsciously turned to look at him.

Gu Mingyuan's face was ugly and anxious and flustered: "Oops! We forgot one person, Zhao Gang, he, didn't he get swallowed up and turned into a corpse puppet? We completely forgot about him, he is still in the studio, the others Will there be any danger?!"
