In the underworld, there is no difference between morning and noon, but looking at the clock in the lobby, I know that the day has passed.

In the past two days, maybe because of the festival, many "newcomers" have poured into the Yin Cao City. Although these newcomers have tried their best to cover up their living auras, their faint aura permeates around their bodies.

The golden yang energy can still be seen very clearly in my eyes.

Because it was past dinner time, the helpers had also left work one after another. Only Hou Tao and I were left, sitting on the chairs in the lobby, looking at each other.

"Hey, hey, hey, you two, take off your aprons, pack them up, and come with me to go for a walk on the street." Lu Fafa half-leaned at the door of the kitchen, knocked on the door panel, and then said after attracting our attention.

.

I was very excited when I heard that I was going shopping. This was my first time in the underworld, and I happened to catch up with the underworld celebrating a festival. I was really lucky.

However, Hou Taomao was not as excited as I thought, and I also noticed that he had been in a daze for the past two days, as if he was thinking about something, but he was unwilling to say it.

"We'd better not go." Hou Tao put one arm on the table and said to me lazily.

I wondered: "Ah? Why?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Hou Tao stopped answering and fell into a long silence.

When I saw his lack of interest, I had no choice but to give up and shrug my shoulders and said, "Since you don't want to go, then why don't you go? Sister Lu, I, Ling Dang, and I will go and have a look."

Hou Tao glanced at me: "Then you go ahead, I'm really not interested."

I'm a little confused about Hou Tao's performance. According to his normal state, he should be the first to participate in something like this, but why is it so abnormal this time?

Maybe it's because today is a holiday and Bai Wuchang may appear, so he's like this. I thought to myself.

After chatting for a while, I went back to the room. After fetching a basin of water to wash my face, I stood at the door of Lu Fafa and watched her carefully tidy up the bell before heading to the festival square that Lu Fafa mentioned.

Hou Tao was left to look after the store.

Along the way, Ling Ding was always in a state of excitement, laughing and joking. Every time he passed a stall selling gadgets, he would step forward to take a look.

For some unknown reason, the black shadows in the sky became denser today, filling the entire sky of Yin Cao City with darkness, shrouding the entire city in shadow.

The whole street was dark, and two lanterns were hung in front of each shop, giving it a night-time feel.

We walked along the street to the end of the street, passing many "newcomers" along the way, but because the yin energy of the bell calmed my yang energy, no one noticed the difference in me along the way.

"Dad, Aunt Lu, look at this, it looks delicious." Lingdang ran to a stall where people were making candy and pointed at one of the Tang people.

As he spoke, he bit his fingers and looked at me pitifully.

I drooped my face, spread my hands and said, "I don't have the money to buy it for you."

"I have it, let me buy the bell." Lu Fafa wore a blue gauze skirt and walked past me. A faint fragrance immediately filled my nostrils in an instant.

Lu Fafa, who usually smells like cigarette smoke, was a little uncomfortable with such a scent all over his body.

Lingdang smiled and licked the candy man. I raised my hand and punched him. Then I said to Lu Fa: "Thank you, Sister Lu."

Lu Fa laughed and said: "It's okay, you don't have to be polite to me."

I smiled at her, and the three of us continued walking towards the street.

At the end of the street was a large open-air square. At this time, the square was already crowded with people on three levels inside and outside. The three of us couldn't squeeze in, so we had to pick a high ground and stand farther away to look towards the center of the square.

In the center of the square, there are several large long tables and chairs. There are many strange people sitting on the chairs. Some of these people are wearing modern clothes, some are wearing very old ancient clothes, and there are two

A man wearing Taoist clothes.

"Is this a holiday? I think some kind of national meeting is being held." I couldn't help complaining.

Lu Fafa covered his mouth and smiled and said: "You've guessed it, today is the day when King Yama returns from calamity, and the whole hell is celebrating together."

"The calamity of King Yama?"

"Yes," Lu Fafa said: "This underworld was originally just a transitional realm for reincarnation after a living person died. But because many people died and were unwilling to enter the next reincarnation, they stayed here, and because of the long years of

The accumulation of evil spirits turned into evil spirits that caused trouble everywhere. Therefore, in order to suppress these evil spirits, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chose a ghost with strong natural ability and deep spiritual power from among the many dead people to make this underworld.

The master of the world. And that ghost is the current King of Yama.

Because the underworld continued to expand, in addition to King Yama, Ksitigarbha also appointed nine other Yama kings. Each Yama king manages his own jurisdiction and does not interfere with each other all the year round.

However, what all of them have in common is that after being in power in the underworld, after a hundred years of precipitation, they will fall into reincarnation - the human realm. They will practice again, and their actions during the practice will be evaluated by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Is he qualified to be re-elected as King of Hell?

Except for King Yama, none of the Nine Palaces of Hell has been able to serve three consecutive reincarnations. Only King Yama, who is in charge of Yincao City, has survived seven reincarnations and has been re-elected. This time, it is his eighth success.

Re-elected.”

I was surprised to hear Lu Fafa finished speaking. According to what she said, wouldn't it mean that the current King of Yama has been in the underworld for more than tens of thousands of years?

Just when I was still surprised by what happened to King Yama, there suddenly started to be noisy in the middle of the square.

I was instantly attracted to it. When I looked in the middle, I found a strange place. Everyone looked up to the sky.

"Duanmu Yang, look at the sky. King Yama is here." Lu Fafa patted me on the shoulder and pointed to the sky excitedly.

I looked up and saw a silver-white dragon with its head emerging from the dark sky, and then its entire body. And on top of the dragon's head, stood a man dressed in brocade and all black.

The man was wearing a tall feathered hat. The tassels on the front of the hat perfectly blocked the man's face, making it difficult for me to see his face clearly.

The white dragon spiraled down from the sky, and when its four claws just touched the ground, it made a roar that resounded through the sky. This roar was so loud that it echoed in the buildings in the entire Yincao City for a long time, making me cover my ears.

.

The man in black robe stepped down from the dragon's head. The moment his feet touched the ground of the square, a black shadow condensed under the ground. The black shadow was stepped on by the man in black robe without any bias, and then

With every step the man took, the dark shadows in the ground continued to condense and disperse, and then condensed again under the next ground where he landed.

The crowd automatically made way for the man. Wherever the man went, the ghosts around him knelt down one after another.

As the man walked, the indescribable black smoke around him slowly formed the shape of a tiger, constantly hovering around the man.

Inexplicably, the powerful aura exuded by this man made me have the urge to kneel down and worship her, and this man also gave me an unusually familiar feeling.

"Duanmu Yang, don't look at him all the time, otherwise you will be confused by him." Lu Fafa covered his mouth with a smile and patted me gently.

I was brought back from my thoughts by her and quickly looked away.

"Look, look, those sitting in the center of the square are the sect leaders of various sects in the human world, such as Maoshan Mountain, Longhu Mountain, and Wudang Gymnasium." Lu Fafa clapped his fingers and spoke one by one.

.

While licking the candy man in her hand, Lingdang pointed to one of the people sitting in front of the table and said, "I know that person. He was the one who sealed me into Han Xin's tomb!"

As he spoke, Lingdang's cute little face began to look ferocious, and the looming black energy began to gather around him.
