Chapter 670 Luofu Mountain
Beep beep beep——
The sound of the car horn and the dazzling headlights woke Li Muhan from his dizziness.
He opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was a bus speeding towards him.
Beep—
Without the bonus of demonic power, Li Muhan's physical fitness was not bad either. He rolled suddenly to avoid the collision with the bus.
Watching the bus drive away, Li Muhan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Didn't I go to hell? Where is this?"
He looked around and found that he seemed to be on a highway at night.
But can buses go on highways?
Also, where is Xia Yue?
Li Muhan quickly began to call Xia Yue, but in the end he didn't call Xia Yue out. Instead, he called back the bus that had just left.
The car slowly backed up to Li Muhan's side. The door slowly opened and Li Muhan found that a middle-aged man in his forties was driving.
He slowly turned his head, and Li Muhan was shocked to find that there were no eyeballs in his eye sockets.
"Where are you from? Why don't you have a ghost handler by your side?"
The driver's voice was extremely gloomy, as if it came from hell. Oh, it was from hell, so it's okay.
"Ah...I'm, well, I'm lost, and I'm looking for my companions."
Li Muhan said while scratching his head.
Although the driver had no eyes, Li Muhan felt that he was looking at him.
After seeing the Taoist robe on Li Muhan, the driver slowly raised his hand and made a gesture.
"Come up."
"But I haven't found my companion yet."
"Wandering spirits cannot linger here. Your companions must have been taken to Luofu Mountain by the Night Wandering Spirit."
Li Muhan wanted to get into the car first, but a hand pressed his shoulder from behind.
The driver seemed to have noticed the person behind Li Muhan. He said nothing, as if he was waiting for something.
"I brought this person here. Don't worry about him. Take the other wandering souls to Luofu Mountain first."
Wang Yao's voice came from behind.
Li Muhan turned around and saw Wang Yao and Xia Yue standing behind him.
The driver didn't say much, but just slowly closed the car door, and then the car slowly drove forward.
"Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time."
Li Muhan looked at Xia Yue with dissatisfaction and said.
"I don't know either...After I woke up, two strange people wanted to take me into a car. I didn't have the strength to resist, and then Wang Yao rescued me."
Xia Yue said aggrievedly.
It seems that she and Li Muhan did not wake up in the same place, but they were not far apart.
Wang Yao smiled and said, "That's the Night Patrol, or what people often call the Night Wandering God. If you're just a wandering ghost wandering around there, they'll definitely take you back."
"Captain Wang, what would happen if we got on the car?"
Li Muhan asked curiously.
"Then just follow the normal process. Isolate you for seven days first, and then send you to court after the seventh day. Basically, by then, there's no way you can turn things around."
"Fuck, didn't I almost die?"
Wang Yao laughed heartily and patted Li Muhan on the shoulder. "I'm kidding. You have Xie Chengtian's letter. Neither the Ghost Envoy nor the Soul Binding Envoy dare to touch you. Plus, you're wearing a Taoist robe, the robe of a direct disciple of the Zhengyi Sect of Longhu Mountain. Ordinary wandering ghosts and spirits don't dare to get close to you."
"Then why didn't we just get in the car? We could have gotten a ride."
Li Muhan asked.
"Don't worry, just walk with me for a few steps and you'll know." Wang Yao said as he walked forward.
Li Muhan and Xia Yue looked at each other, and then Li Muhan grabbed Xia Yue's hand: "Don't stay too far away from me."
"kindness."
Xia Yue nodded.
The two followed Wang Yao and continued walking forward, and soon entered a tunnel.
The lights in the tunnel were dim, and the only light was green, which looked extremely strange and scary.
Their footsteps echoed in the empty tunnel, and every step seemed to remind them that there were unknown secrets hidden here.
More than ten minutes later, a bus appeared in their sight, blocking the road. Its appearance seemed abrupt and strange, as if it had been abandoned here by some irresistible force.
That was the car that Li Muhan almost got on just now.
“…What’s going on?”
Li Muhan looked at the bus parked across the road and felt something was wrong.
Wang Yao didn't say much. His expression was serious and calm. He walked straight to the bus and opened the door.
The car door creaked harshly, as if protesting the sudden interruption.
As the car door opened, a cold breeze blew out from the car, carrying with it a subtle smell of blood.
Li Muhan and Xia Yue also came over and followed Wang Yao onto the bus.
The scene inside the car was shocking.
A dead silence enveloped the entire carriage. Traces of fighting were visible everywhere, seats were overturned, and glass fragments were scattered on the ground, but the most puzzling thing was that there was no corpse here.
There were no blood-stained corpses, no terrified faces, only a suffocating silence.
"This matter is indeed not that simple."
Wang Yao muttered to himself, and Li Muhan immediately asked, "What's going on? Captain Wang, are you hiding something from us?"
"I'm sorry, Li Muhan. I just realized after arriving here that this place is quite different from when I was here before. The number of Ghost Envoys and Soul Binders has decreased a lot. There are also many wandering souls along the way. More importantly... this kind of attack seems to be more than the first time."
Wang Yao clapped his hands and got out of the car.
"This bus is responsible for transporting the souls of the recently deceased to the underworld. Ordinary ghosts dare not even look at it, let alone attack it. I just learned from the aura inside the bus that there are three night wanderers hiding in it, probably to lure out the attackers."
At this point, Wang Yao sighed, "It's a pity that they succeeded in luring out the attacker, but they became another victim of the attacker. I'm afraid the ghost messengers in the underworld on these cars are no longer there."
Li Muhan didn't understand the structure of the underworld, and since he really couldn't use his strength, he asked tentatively: "Then, Captain Wang, should we continue forward or go back first?"
"Since Xie Chengtian asked you to come, I think he must have his own intentions. I will escort you to the Luofu Mountain City God Temple. Of course, it also depends on you, Li Muhan."
Wang Yao looked back at Li Muhan, as if asking for his opinion.
Li Muhan thought for a moment, although he didn't know Xie Chengtian.
But no matter who says it, Xie Chengtian can be said to be a rare talent among millions, and this letter was also brought to Wang Yao by him in his dream.
It's only logical that I should at least go and see him.
"Let's go, Captain Wang, thank you for your help."
Luofu Mountain is the ancestor of the Baiyue Mountains and is honored by Taoism as the "Seventh Great Cave Heaven and the Thirty-fourth Blessed Land".
In the underworld, Luofu Mountain is located in the south of the underworld and is ruled by Du Ziren, the Southern Ghost King among the Five Ghost Kings.
Li Muhan learned from Wang Yao that Xie Chengtian is now the City God of Luofu Mountain.
It is equivalent to a county magistrate, a fairly high position.
As they continued forward, they did not see any other vehicles being attacked. After passing through the tunnels of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, Li Muhan saw the magnificent view of the underworld.
Outside the tunnel, a huge black mountain stood before Li Muhan. The peak was majestic and majestic. At the foot of the mountain, an ancient town lay quietly in the embrace of the mountains.
The buildings here are mostly made of black tiles and white walls, which are simple and elegant, blending harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment.
When we arrived at the town gate, two armored ghost officials were checking the identities of those entering the city one by one.
"Originally, these wandering souls should have been brought back by the ghost messengers, the Night Wandering Gods and the Day Wandering Gods, but now it seems that most of them have wandered to the vicinity of the town on their own. It's really strange."
Wang Yao frowned, and then asked Li Muhan: "Where is Xie Chengtian's letter?"
"Ah? Isn't it true that things in reality cannot be brought to the underworld?" Li Muhan asked.
"That letter originally belonged to the underworld. Look in the inner pocket of this robe."
Li Muhan reached into his clothes and felt around, and sure enough, he found the letter.
Wang Yao nodded, and then took Li Muhan to the town entrance.
"Excuse me, these two Taoist priests are guests of your city god. Please inform them."
Wang Yao placed the letter on the desk of the ghost messenger in charge of registration, and then took out two ancient coins and pressed them on the letter.
The ghost had a green face and fangs. When he heard that it was the City God's guest and saw the two ancient coins, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Hehehe, no problem, no problem. Please wait here for a moment. I'll go and make the announcement."
The ghost messenger went away for about five minutes and then came back jogging.
"Hey, the three of you, please come in. Master Xie has been waiting for a long time."
Li Muhan and Xia Yue were about to go in, but found Wang Yao standing at the door without moving.
"Captain Wang?" Li Muhan turned around and looked at Wang Yao.
"I'm sorry, Li Muhan, I can only send you here. I'm not from the underworld, nor am I a person who can handle extraordinary things, so I can only go here at best."
Li Muhan seemed to understand something.
"Captain Wang, when will we meet again?"
Wang Yao smiled and turned to walk towards the tunnel they came from. At the same time, he raised his hand and waved to Li Muhan: "If your trip to the underworld goes well, come and have a drink with me often in the future."
Li Muhan looked at Wang Yao's back for a long time before he shouted, "Thank you, Captain Wang!"
The ghost messenger was waiting nearby.
His face was full of smiles, which made him look extremely funny.
"Please lead the way."
"Ah, yes, yes, this way please."
Under the guidance of the ghost catcher, Li Muhan and Xia Yue entered the ancient town without any inspection.
But after actually entering, Li Muhan discovered that there were souls living here, and the countless wandering souls actually looked no different from humans.
Some of the souls must have died not long ago. They huddled on the roadside crying, muttering the names of their loved ones, or expressing their unwillingness.
Some souls, for unknown reasons, seemed to have lived here for a long time and even opened their own shops, selling all kinds of strange things. Li Muhan also saw a shop selling electrical appliances, which had all kinds of electrical appliances and mobile phones.
"Master Dao, hey, is this your first time in the underworld?"
The ghost came up to Li Muhan and asked.
"Well, this is my first time here. Do you have factories in the underworld that produce these things?"
"Hey, we don't need to produce. Our trade cooperation with the Special Management Bureau allows us to obtain a large number of high-tech products from the human world. These houses you see have all been renovated. If it were more than a hundred years ago, everyone would still be living in brick and tile houses."
"...Oh my god, it seems like you guys are responsible for the sales of those things in our world."
"Hehehe, you're too kind... Alas! Master Dao! Your companion! Quick! Stop her!!"
The ghost suddenly became nervous, and Li Muhan realized that Xia Yue was no longer by his side.
Turning around, she found that she had run to a street vendor without knowing when, and was drooling as she looked at the sugar-coated fruits sold by the vendor.
"Little sister..."
The merchant was a woman with disheveled hair, and she looked at Xia Yue sinisterly.
"Want to buy some..."
".....How much...?"
"...You're so cute, I'll give you one... Come on, open your mouth..."
The woman slowly picked up a candied fruit and then brought it close to Xia Yue's mouth.
Attracted by the fragrance, Xia Yue couldn't hold back any longer and she slowly opened her mouth.
At this moment, Li Muhan suddenly hugged Xia Yue's waist from behind and pulled her back.
Because of her unstable center of gravity, Xia Yue sat directly on Li Muhan.
"Go away! No, no, no, no, no! This is the City God's distinguished guest!"
The ghost quickly told the woman to take back the things in her hand.
The woman was also shocked when she heard that the City God had a distinguished guest.
She quickly bowed her head and apologized: "I'm sorry... I thought she was a wandering soul who had just died, and she looked so cute, so I wanted to comfort her..."
"Alright, alright, look carefully next time. Can't you see the Zhengyi Taoist robes she's wearing? If she really eats your food and can't come back, then you'll be utterly shattered and doomed!"
The ghost's words frightened the woman so much that she fell to her knees, kowtowed and apologized repeatedly.
Li Muhan felt that this was a bit too much, so he slowly carried Xia Yue away from him, and then said to the woman: "Forget it, forget it, since it's just a misunderstanding, there's no need to be like this. We are new here and don't know the rules."
Seeing that Li Muhan was so reasonable, the ghost didn't say much.
He took Li Muhan and continued walking towards the City God Temple.
“Why can’t I eat…?”
On the way, Xia Yue was still muttering in dissatisfaction.
"If you really eat it... you will never be able to leave this hell."
Li Muhan had just learned from the ghost that as long as their life span was not over, they must not eat anything from the underworld, otherwise even the gods could not save them.
At this moment, a figure suddenly bumped into Li Muhan.
Then Li Muhan smelled the smell of alcohol.
"Fuck, that stinks."
Li Muhan took a step back, pinched his nose, and then saw that the person who bumped into him suddenly fell to the ground.
"Haha, hahahahahahaha, good wine, good wine, give me another pot."
The man was wearing a white gown and looked handsome, but his hair was messy and he reeked of alcohol.
He was carrying a black long sword on his back, and looked like an ancient swordsman that would appear in a TV drama.
But this man was now lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, acting drunkenly, making Li Muhan completely lose the feeling of a knight.
"It's that damn drunkard again! Go away!"
The ghost seemed to know this man. He kicked the man twice, and the man looked at the ghost with dissatisfaction.
"How dare you disturb my sweet dream!"
"Get out of here right now! This is the City God's distinguished guest! If you say anything more, I will immediately notify the Soul Catcher and have your soul shattered!"
The man was not threatened by the ghost at all. He just slowly got up from the ground and looked at Li Muhan with a swaying body.
"Well, well, okay, the City God's distinguished guest... well! Okay..." He took another sip of wine, then moved closer and looked at Li Muhan carefully.
"Haha, hahaha, it seems that it is you..."
"Drunkard! Are you done yet?" The ghost kicked the man in white away.
"Good, good! I hide a hidden dragon in my body and ask the heavens, I point my sword to the sky with a firm will, I break the dawn with one sword and the east wind rises, and all the demons are scattered in the world."
The man took another sip of wine, then turned and walked towards the other end of the street, while his voice was still echoing in Li Muhan's ears.
"One day, the sword will shine, severing illusions and breaking the vastness, reshaping the glory of the sun and the moon, and the world will be renewed and prosperous. Hahahahaha, hahahaha."
