Chapter 198 Meow Meow
On the steps of the Silent Platform, the underworld team that had been so dignified not long ago was now in chaos.
Some were shouting with their arms raised, some were running forward with their weapons in hand, some were fighting, and the whole place was filled with noise!
Although the King of Hell had boundless magical powers, he was a little overwhelmed by the attack of thousands of ghosts. He had to argue while resisting: "The underworld is a big family. We are all ghosts. What's there to talk about salary and treatment..."
"..." Hearing this, the ghosts were so angry that smoke came out of their heads. "Do you think we are ghosts? What hypocritical nonsense you said is just an excuse for you to exploit us!!!"
Everyone’s fighting spirit is even higher!
For a moment, the whole scene was in extreme chaos. The King of Hell himself couldn't remember what his original purpose was for coming here, let alone the Horse-Faced Demon and the other ghost officials.
They are busy fighting for their rights and hanging capitalists on street lamps!
Then, in a corner that no one noticed, the ghost fog that covered the long steps of the Silent Platform dissipated, revealing a small passage.
Niutou gently signaled Jian Yunlan to leave quickly.
Jian Yunlan gave him a grateful look in return.
Niutou, you must come back safely. Jian Yunlan said in his heart.
After you come back, I'll give you another raise...
Without any time to hesitate, Jian Yunlan flashed into the passage, left the ghost fog, and ran all the way to the high Silent Platform.
.
The stairs seemed very long, so long that there was no end in sight.
However, when Jian Yunlan actually walked up the stairs, he felt that the stairs were getting shorter and shorter, and before long, he reached the end of the stairs.
On both sides, there is an endless sea of clouds, and the world beneath the sea of clouds is hazy and unclear.
Literally coming to the edge of the world.
The Silent Platform on the steps was surrounded by a layer of membrane, like a barrier. Jian Yunlan stretched out his hand to try to get through it, but it was like he had touched a transparent wall and he couldn't get through it at all.
Jian Yunlan was in a dilemma.
Through that membrane, one can vaguely see the scene inside:
In the center of the Silent Platform, there seemed to be a huge creature lying, and countless beams of light surrounded the creature...
That's Taotie!
Almost in an instant, Jian Yunlan shuddered all over. Although he couldn't see any picture clearly and could only vaguely see a shadow, Jian Yunlan immediately confirmed that it was Taotie.
What is a pillar of light? Has the punishment of heaven begun?
Jian Yunlan felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart. He couldn't help but anxiously pat the transparent wall, not knowing how he could get through the wall and reach the center of the Silent Platform.
"Son of man, do you want to go over there?" a gentle voice asked him, as if the heavens and the earth were whispering, "Go over there, to his side?"
Jian Yunlan answered without even thinking: "Of course."
Isn't this nonsense? If he didn't want to see Taotie, why did he come all the way here? Just for exercise?
Wait, where does that sound come from...
Jian Yunlan finally reacted, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked towards the source of the sound.
——A spirit beast with snow-white fur and two horns on its head slowly walked towards them. Its body is like a lion, but it has a dragon's head. Its eyes are closed tightly, and wherever it passes, rain falls and flowers bloom. Even this lonely and poor platform of extinction comes alive again with its footsteps.
Its voice sounded like that of a gentle young man, and it was difficult to tell whether it was male or female. It slowly said, "I am the divine beast Bai Ze, and I know everything in the world. I can answer some of the questions and confusions in your heart."
Doubtful and confused?
"I don't have any doubts or confusion," Jian Yunlan calmed down, smiled, and said, "My goal is very clear. I want to go in and get to Taotie's side. Can you help me?"
Looking at Jian Yunlan's eyes, Bai Ze was stunned.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a look in a human being.
Such a look of never giving up.
but……
Bai Ze suddenly raised his head and laughed so hard that tears came out:
"Haha, haha! You actually said you're not confused! Son of man, you're so humorous. Everyone in the world has confusion. Even the supreme and omnipotent Lord Tiandao doesn't dare to say that his mind is as clear as a mirror. How can you, a mere mortal, say so?!"
Jian Yunlan wanted to say something, but Bai Ze interrupted him again:
"Let me be frank with you. Lord Tiandao has sent me to guard here. No outsiders are allowed to enter and interfere with the execution process."
As he was talking, Bai Ze suddenly opened his eyes that had been tightly closed and looked straight at Jian Yunlan...
Bai Ze's eyes were calm and long, as if they could see through everything in the world, and as if they were hiding the entire world, with countless rich information floating in his pupils.
not good!
Just by looking at Bai Ze, Jian Yunlan immediately realized that his consciousness seemed to be gradually grasped and controlled along the intersecting sight lines.
There must be something strange about this Bai Ze.
But by the time Jian Yunlan realized it, it was too late.
The firm thoughts and ideas in his mind gradually softened into a puddle of water. Looking at the invisible high wall in front of him, Jian Yunlan suddenly felt very tired.
The tiredness surged from the bottom of my heart. It felt like I could never climb a mountain even if I tried my best for my entire life. It was that daunting feeling of powerlessness.
Bai Ze still stared at Jian Yunlan with his eyes and said softly:
"You must have some doubts in your heart. Come on, tell me everything. Do you feel tired? This is natural. You are just a mortal and should not bear such a heavy burden. You should put it down as soon as possible and take a rest..."
Those words seemed to have some magic power. Although Jian Yunlan didn't want to, she slowly turned around and followed the voice, trying to go down the stairs she came from and return the same way.
The Silent Stage, where all living beings can only go once in their lifetime.
Once Jian Yunlan takes this step, there will be no turning back.
He knew it clearly, but his steps went against his will. Although stiff, he still took that step and was about to go on...
"Divine beast Bai Ze, when did you start playing such despicable tricks? How despicable!" A little girl's voice as clear as a bell sounded, angrily, "Master, Master, wake up! Wake up!"
Hu Danggui's voice was like a gust of wind, injecting a trace of clarity into Jian Yunlan's chaotic forehead.
He opened his eyes with difficulty.
What caught my eye was Hu Danggui with two buns on her hair. She put on her original green Taoist robe again, with a peach wood sword on her back. Despite her tender figure, the little girl stood in front of Jian Yunlan fearlessly, staring at Bai Ze with her eyes wide open.
He was only one step away from the stairs. If Hu Danggui had not arrived in time, he would have already stepped down.
"Hu Danggui?" Jian Yunlan staggered, gradually coming back to his senses from the drunken dizziness, "You, why are you here?"
Hu Danggui blinked at Jian Yunlan, "Master, let me help you. I've eaten so much of your food, so I have to put it to good use, right? And..." She glared at Bai Ze with her big, round eyes like black grapes, "What kind of divine beasts are these? They are a bunch of dirty things that are in cahoots with the way of heaven. They actually used that kind of trick to deal with a mortal!"
Bai Ze's gentle smile froze on his face.
But that was only for a moment. Soon, it laughed again: "Little demon from Qingqiu, you dare to comment on me? Very good, very good!"
The spirit beast with a lion's body and a dragon's head raised its head and let out a clear roar.
The clear whistle pierced the sky, like the cry of a phoenix, or the sound of wind blowing through leaves. It was very pleasant to the ear and made people feel refreshed!
At the same time, along with the sound, many figures suddenly appeared.
The Qilin came from the clouds stepping on fire, with auspicious light shining at every step; the wind and thunder rolled, and Yinglong rushed from the surging thunder, with lightning and fire surging on its scales; the Xuanwu, a giant snake carrying a turtle, emerged from the tides in the sky, and the Vermillion Bird flapped its wings, blowing up the fire of reincarnation...
Countless divine beasts looked coldly in the direction of Jian Yunlan and Hu Danggui!
Jian Yunlan subconsciously wanted to protect Hu Danggui. There were so many divine beasts, and Hu Danggui was just a nine thousand year old child. How could he defeat them?
However, Hu Danggui smiled and motioned him to move away.
The little girl clasped her hands together, muttered something, and then -
At the same place, the little girl in the green Taoist robe disappeared.
A charming beauty in palace dress was leaning on a beauty couch that appeared out of nowhere, looking lazy and elegant. Her appearance was so noble and gorgeous that even this barren platform seemed to be sparkling against her backdrop.
The nine fox tails swayed intermittently, and the beauty blew out a smoke ring lightly, with a bright smile on her lips: "I'm sorry to bother you all for making this trip in vain, please go back first~"
Jian Yunlan: “?”
Hu Danggui's charm didn't work on him, because this time, Jian Yunlan still keenly saw...
There is a vegetable leaf between the beauty's teeth...
"Will such a charm technique really work?"
The next second after Jian Yunlan had this doubt, the divine beasts that appeared in the sky were struck by lightning and stopped moving! ! !
The divine beasts stared blankly at the beauty in palace dress.
The Qilin walking on fire in the clouds, the moment his eyes met the beauty, his golden scales instantly turned pink; the lightning around Yinglong stopped, replaced by spurting nosebleed; Xuanwu's giant snake and turtle both had blushes on their faces, shyly looking away; even the always brave and warlike Suzaku lowered his head...
——The charm technique that the Qingqiu fox demon has practiced for many years is the best in the entire mountain and sea plane and should not be underestimated.
After a few seconds of stagnation, the beasts began to cough one after another, and they all made excuses:
"Bai Ze, I'm sorry, I have something to do at home. My father-in-law is going to give birth and I have to go to deliver the baby!" "How can I hit him? I can't do it... Ahem, no, I mean, I have to rush to grab the discount at the supermarket!" "Master Bai Ze, I'm so sorry, my dead husband who came back from the dead urged me to go home for a feast."
The divine beasts fled away at a rapid speed.
Bai Ze looked at their backs with a look of disappointment: "...Useless things!"
Just a mere spell of charm made them throw down their weapons and weapons in disarray!
What a bunch of freeloaders! ! !
Bai Ze thought angrily, looking at the beauty in palace dress, he really couldn't figure out where the other person's 'charm' lay. Isn't he just an ordinary person? In the eyes of Bai Ze, who knows everything in the world, men, women, beautiful or ugly, are all the same and there is no difference.
Bai Ze sneered: "Haha, Qingqiu little demon, is this all your tricks? It won't work on me."
The beauty in palace dress suddenly smiled.
"Really?" she asked softly, "What about this?"
——A flash of golden light, and the beauty in palace dress disappeared again.
Instead, there was a little fox covered in golden light, its fur was shiny and smooth, and its nine little tails hung listlessly behind it, as if it was feeling a little aggrieved. The little fox looked at Bai Ze, tilted his head innocently, stretched out his furry and soft little paws, and said in a long tone: "Master Bai Ze, hug me..."
“…”
Bai Ze stopped talking.
Its face remained expressionless and straight, as if there was no ripple in its heart.
Jian Yunlan's heart suddenly rose to her throat. This seems to be Hu Danggui's trump card. If it doesn't work against Bai Ze, then they are completely out of tricks, right?
Time passed by every second.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Ze, who had remained silent, suddenly sniffed.
Jian Yunlan: “?” Wait, sniffing?
He turned his head and saw Bai Ze still standing upright, looking righteous.
But blood was dripping from its nostrils...
Jian Yunlan: "...So you are obsessed with Furui!"
It was also at this moment that the transparent wall blocking Jian Yunlan suddenly softened!
Jian Yunlan and Hu Danggui looked at each other from afar. The little fox gave him an encouraging look and Jian Yunlan nodded.
He turned around, without hesitation, and walked into the Silent Platform.
