It seems like he is making medicine.

However, the fire used was green will-o'-the-wisp, which was very similar to the flame on Lin Mo's brick hammer.

Lin Mo didn't know where this place was. Why did this young ghost bring him to this place? Was it some rule of the underworld?

But it doesn't feel like it.

However, this place is obviously not a ghost prison. In this case, Lin Mo plans to stay put and wait and see what happens.

"Old Gun, are you bringing back another ghost? You won't be discovered, will you?"

A young boy in the room asked.

The young ghost holding Lin Mo laughed: "Don't worry, this criminal hasn't been registered yet, no one will know about it. I'm doing the job, aren't you worried?"

"That's right. Let's take it over there first." A green-skinned ghost with a few white hairs on his head said, and he looked like one of the more experienced ones.

He speaks with confidence.

The young devil named Lao Gun grabbed the chain and dragged Lin Mo to the corner.

There were several iron rings embedded in the wall here, and several hideous ghost prisoners were tied here. Lao Gun tied Lin Mo to an iron ring at the back, and then walked over to chat with the other green ghosts.

Lin Mo first glanced at the several ghost prisoners next to him. They were all wearing shackles like him, with ghost symbols on their faces. They were in a daze and motionless.

Like a lamb to be slaughtered.

A few young ghosts over there started chatting.

They had no scruples, perhaps because they thought the prisoners wouldn't be able to hear them, or even if they did, they weren't afraid of it leaking out.

Judging from the content of the green-skinned ghosts' chat, it was obvious that what they did was something that could not be made public.

Simply put, it means taking advantage of one's position to secretly bring out some unnoticed ghost prisoners and brewing them into some kind of 'medicine' that can enhance strength and energy.

And it's obvious that this isn't the first time this has been done; it's a tradition that's been passed down for hundreds of years.

In Qingpigui's words, the people above also knew about it, but they just turned a blind eye.

After all, the little devils and the jailers all have hard jobs, so there must be some benefits.

This 'medicine' is the benefit.

It's called 'medicine', but it's actually a kind of 'food' and a kind of 'drink'. Anyway, according to Lin Mo's understanding, this is a feast in the underworld, a hot pot and barbecue that he hasn't eaten for a long time, and a coffee drink that can prolong his life when he is tired.

That's roughly what it means.

But because the raw materials are "ghosts", the underworld does not allow this to be done openly, but it has become a tradition in private. People feel that as long as they don't go too far, there won't be any problems, and no one will pursue it.

"Fuck, after all this time, are they treating me as raw material?"

Lin Mo reacted.

What should we do now? We can't just sit there and wait for death, or we'll be thrown into the pot.

Then we have no choice but to take action.

Lin Mo looked at the green-skinned ghosts and realized they were veterans with many sins on their hands. If he killed them, he would be considered to be doing justice for the heavens.

Just as I was thinking about it, a young master over there said that there was not enough ingredients, so he quickly brought a ghost over.

At that moment, a little ghost ran over and pulled a ghost next to Lin Mo over.

Just now, if they had pulled him, Lin Mo would definitely have taken action.

But now, we can still take a look at the situation.

Lin Mo was also curious about how this food was processed.

The ghost prisoner who was dragged over was first stripped of all his tattered clothes, and then he was pushed onto a large chopping board and chopped.

Looking at this scene, I guess even a butcher would give a thumbs up.

The craftsmanship is so neat.

First, chop it into large pieces, then gut it and clean it up, throw different parts into different pots and simmer over low heat. The rest is not wasted, peel off the skin and remove the tendons, and dismember it bit by bit.

Finally, only the head is left, which is put into another large pot to make soup.

After this busy work, Lin Mo wanted to applaud and praise this green-skinned master.

Watching the green flames licking the bottoms of various pots and pots, the room was filled with steam, and because various precious medicinal materials were added, the smell was unique and fragrant, which made people's appetite increase.

This is definitely the underworld on the tip of your tongue, it’s so authentic.

Lin Mo got goose bumps at this time.

Not afraid.

Because he actually thought the smell was very fragrant.

This is very wrong.

"I'm not as perverted as these young ghosts." Lin Mo comforted himself.

It has a strong aroma and looks like it’s almost ready.

As you can imagine, if even Lin Mo thinks it smells good, then Xiaoyu and Sister Yue must think it’s even more delicious.

Something began to surge slowly under Lin Mo's clothes.

Xiaoyu slowly stretched out her hand.

At the same time, Sister Yue in the pocket was also trying hard to climb out.

The most important thing is that Lin Mo noticed that in an inconspicuous corner of the room, there was a cardboard box that had been brought in at some point, and the lid was about to be pushed open.

Oh boy, I forgot about Doudou.

Lin Mo tried to get Xiaoyu back.

unsuccessful.

I wanted to stuff Sister Yue back into my pocket, but oops, she actually bit me.

The noise of the cardboard box became louder and louder, and finally, it was noticed by the nearest green-skinned ghost.

The green-skinned ghost looked curious.

Scratching his head.

I guess he's wondering where this cardboard box came from?

Or was it some green-skinned ghost who brought it in?

It's ready to ask.

But at this time, the lid of the cardboard box had been opened. Doudou poked out his little head and asked Dad, "Dad, do you eat alone? If you eat alone again, I will ignore you and won't play with you anymore."

Lin Mo covered his face.

Remove the "ghost symbol" on your face.

Then the group of young ghosts in the room shouted in shock: Do it!

In an instant, this gloomy house was immediately filled with chaos and murderous aura.

Maybe it was for the sake of eating, so Xiaoyu, Sister Yue and Doudou were all working very hard. When Lin Mo saw this, he quickly called Xi Wenjun out.

Don’t let Sister Wenjun blame me for not inviting me to your big dinner.

Women should not be offended.

Female ghosts cannot be offended.

An old female ghost is someone you cannot afford to offend.

The green-skinned ghost is not weak either.

But he is obviously not as strong as the jailer.

In addition, Xiaoyu and his men were extremely ferocious, so the battle was over in a short while.

All the green ghosts in the house were killed, not a single one was left alive.

Lin Mo was still thinking of keeping the person alive to interrogate him, but now he couldn't do that.

Everyone was very ferocious today. Lin Mo thought about it and realized that they didn't enjoy much by following him. Suffering and hardship were commonplace. Now that they finally had something they liked to eat, it would be better to just let them do as they pleased.

"Everyone is free to move around!" Lin Mo decided to just ignore it.

This time when he came to the underworld, Lin Mo felt that things would not be so smooth. Even with Zhong Kui's protection, it would definitely not be easy to rescue his brother.

A war is probably inevitable, and we'll have to rely on everyone then.

So eat it.

Only when you are well fed can you do great things.

"Enjoy your meal. I'll be at the door to protect you from the wind."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, he pushed the door open and sat down on the stone steps at the door.

This place is a low-rise residential area, probably where the little ghosts and servants live.

The yin energy is very strong.

Ordinary people would definitely get sick if they came to this place.

But Lin Mo has gotten used to it, and he still needs to think carefully about what to do next.

"Let's meet up with Brother Zhong Kui first. He knows this place better than I do. If we want to save people, we can't do without his help." After thinking it over, Lin Mo could only take this step first.

He was unfamiliar with the place and had difficulty making progress.

Lin Mo recalled it again at this time and suddenly thought of a clue.

Before, he had eavesdropped on the conversation between his brother and two other people outside that strange garden attic.

The two men seemed to be named Wang Zhubu and Qi Ye.

Wang Zhubu is an old man with a sullen face. The Seventh Master is Bai Wuchang.

Since they are my brother's friends, can I ask them for help? Lin Mo thinks this is a way.

In a place like this, you have to win over allies as much as possible. Fighting alone will definitely not work.

At this time, Lin Mo discovered that several ghosts in his shadow were waving at him.

Lin Mo was puzzled and asked these ghosts what they were doing.

Soon, a ghost hand stretched out from the ghost and pulled Lin Mo to the side.

Then the ghost hand knocked on the floor in front.

Boom boom!

There is an echo, but it is empty below.

Lin Mo immediately checked around, and finally reached into the gap next to it and lifted up a stone slab with his fingers.

Below, a downward passage was revealed.

It looks like it's connected to another place.

Lin Mo thought about it and decided that this was most likely a tunnel dug by those green-skinned ghosts. His purpose was unknown, but if it really led to the outside, then Lin Mo could easily leave the ghost prison.

I went back and asked Xiaoyu and the others if they had eaten enough.

When I went back to take a look, I saw that Xiaoyu, Sister Yue, Xi Wenjun, and Doudou all looked much stronger than before.

After all, the food they eat is made by ghosts. In principle, this is no different from directly devouring other evil ghosts. Many nightmares can be improved by devouring other nightmares of the same kind.

So, this meal was worth it.

Lin Mo told everyone to run away. Xiaoyu contentedly crawled into Lin Mo's body. Sister Yue also turned back into a doll and crawled into Lin Mo's pocket.

Xi Wenjun walked into the mirror. As for Doudou, he had already turned over and crawled into the cardboard box, saying that he wanted to catch up on some sleep.

This is good, it is more convenient for one person to move around.

Lin Mo locked the door, perhaps delaying the time when this place was discovered.

Then he reached the tunnel entrance and went in.

The passage is narrow and you can only crawl.

Fortunately, Lin Mo was in good health and soon he saw the exit. When he looked outside, he found that it was another room.

A fat, green ghost in the room heard the noise, muttered that there was something delicious, and walked over unsteadily. But what greeted it was a cold knife pressed directly against its neck.

"Don't shout, or I'll chop you up and make dumplings!"

Lin Mo jumped out of the passage.

This young ghost had probably never seen such a scene before and was completely stunned.

When it realized what was happening, it frowned and said, "Old Gun and his gang are just incompetent. This is the second one that escaped this month, and I have to clean up their mess in the end."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Lin Mo without fear of the blade.

Lin Mo thrust the blade forward and cut off the green-skinned ghost's head.

The sword was very sharp, and it was sharpened by my second brother himself. It could cut hair with a single blow, and chopping off a head was as easy as chopping a cucumber.

The green ghost's head rolled to the side, but his body did not fall down. Instead, he ran outside.

Lin Mo quickly ordered a few ghosts to rush over and hold down the headless corpse, and then picked up the head from the ground.

"Please spare my life, sir."

The young ghost probably understood the situation clearly and begged for mercy without any hesitation.

Lin Mo also likes this kind of cooperation.

But I still asked, why did your body run just now?

"It's just a moment of confusion, don't blame me!"

This young ghost is also honest.

"What's your name?" Lin Mo asked.

"Brother, call me Lao Pi...Oh, no, Xiao Pi, just call me Xiao Pi!" the green-skinned ghost replied.

Lin Mo said it would be better to call you Lao Pi, which would sound more friendly.

"Okay, call me whatever you want."

"Laopi, what's going on with that tunnel?" Lin Mo pointed to the tunnel he had just crawled out of.

Lao Pi said that the ones working in the ghost prison were Lao Gun and two other brothers, but they didn't know how to make medicine or cook, so they had to find the green-skinned ghosts outside. The tunnel was built for the chefs to enter and exit easily.

As for Lao Pi himself, he took the initiative to explain that he didn't know anything, so he was just responsible for watching the entrances and exits here and providing cover at critical moments.

"I just want to get something to eat." When Lao Pi said this, he glanced at its fat body and asked if he could put the head back on. It was a bit painful now.

Lin Mo also realized that Lao Pi was not a threat. He was just a green-skinned ghost born and raised in the underworld and a useless person, so he just put the head back on him.

"Thank you, my good man." Lao Pi put his head back in place and saluted Lin Mo, but when he bent down, his head, which had not yet grown back, fell off again.

"Be more careful next time."

"I understand, I understand, I was careless, I was careless!"

It is not easy to meet such a fearful and cooperative green-skinned ghost, so Lin Mo carefully asked the other party about the situation in the underworld.

Lao Pi answers whatever is asked.

Of course, it tells what it knows, and it won’t say what it doesn’t know directly, nor will it dare to speak nonsense.

"Don't worry, my good man. I know the rules and I understand the situation. When you don't need me later, just tie me up with a rope. Tie me up tightly. That way I won't be able to come out for three to five days, and you can do whatever you want without any worries."

As he said this, he pointed to the corner over there, and there really was a ball of rope.

Lin Mo praised and said, Lao Pi, you really know the rules.

Changing the subject, Lin Mo asked Lao Pi how long he had been in the underworld and what he did on weekdays.

Lao Pi said that he didn't remember how long he had been here. The underworld was dark and gloomy. Maybe he had counted the time before, but later he was too lazy to do it.

It didn't have any job. According to what Lin Mo could understand, it was just doing odd jobs or something.

The kind that just muddles through life.

Lin Mo asked it again, if there is any way to find someone in the underworld? Lao Pi said who to find and where to find.

It seems there is a way.

Lao Pi said that he had stayed in the underworld for too long, so he was basically familiar with all the green-skinned ghosts and had very close relationships with them.

Moreover, green-skinned ghosts are everywhere in the underworld, so if it wants to find someone, it just needs to send a message and all green-skinned ghosts will help.

"I have a good relationship with people." Lao Pi said this with confidence.

Lin Mo thought about it and it made sense.

He looked at all kinds of young ghosts along the way, and found that the old ghost was the fattest, which meant that he had money and was doing well. One of the principles of doing well is to have a wide network of contacts and many friends.

The other party should not be talking nonsense.

"As long as I know the name and the specific area, I can get some information for you." Lao Pi said seriously.

Lin Mo thought about it and decided, okay, let it try.

He told the other party his brother's name, Lin Yuan. As for the area, Lin Mo said to look for it in the ghost prison first.

"Okay, then I'll go and make the arrangements?"

Lao Pi asked.

Lin Mo nodded, took Sister Yue out of his pocket, stuffed it into Lao Pi's pocket, and patted it.

"Don't play tricks, otherwise, your fate will be a hundred times more miserable than those ghost prisoners in the ghost prison."

Although Lao Pi didn't know what the doll was, he could sense the danger of it. He nodded immediately and promised to complete the task.

Lin Mo let it go.

Anyway, Sister Yue is with us, so if it plays any tricks, I will kill it the first time.

However, based on Lin Mo's observation just now, Lao Pi should not do anything reckless. Just as he said himself, he is very knowledgeable about rules and knows his limits.

Lin Mo didn't just sit there and wait.

He tried to find his brother in his own way.

Origami a paper crane, write your brother’s name on it, and blow into it.

The paper crane didn't respond.

It's not that the paper crane won't work. Lin Mo suspected that there was something fishy going on with his brother. He guessed that he could use some method to cover up his aura and prevent others from eventually using it on him.

Lin Mo wrote Zhong Kui's name again.

This time, after blowing, the paper crane flapped its wings and flew out.

Lin Mo didn't follow him out.

The reason is simple. This is the underworld, and if he runs out like this, there is a 100% chance that he will be discovered on the road.

So what he had to do was wait here and wait for Zhong Kui to come find him.

The location of this place is written on the paper crane.

Provided by Lao Pi.

Now all Lin Mo has to do is wait.

Let’s see whether Lao Pi comes back first or Zhong Kui finds this place first.

It doesn't feel good to wait for someone, especially when you are not sure whether the other person will come.

Time passed slowly. Lin Mo was a relatively patient person, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

But sometimes, the more anxious you are, the less news you get back.

It felt like several hours had passed, and several times Lin Mo couldn't help but want to go out and take a look.

In the end I held back.

He knew that the more critical the moment was, the less anxious he should be.

Got to trust your teammates.

Zhong Kui is not the kind of person who is vague. Even Lao Pi, who is under duress, is a guy who is good at dealing with people, so let's wait a little longer.

Because sometimes, no news can be considered good news.

Finally, after a few hours, there was movement outside.

A big man in a red robe didn't even go through the door, but directly climbed over the wall and fell down. It was Zhong Kui.

"Brother Zhong Kui!"

Lin Mo hurried to meet him.

Zhong Kui smiled when he saw Lin Mo and waved the paper crane in his hand: "Great, I didn't expect you to have this skill."

"I learned it from a few masters. It's not worth mentioning." Lin Mo said modestly.

Zhong Kui asked where this place was. Lin Mo gave a brief explanation and Zhong Kui did not ask in detail.

"I heard some news, maybe it's related to your brother."

After entering the house, Zhong Kui spoke.

Lin Mo asked what the news was.

"Lao Cui closed the door and refused to see anyone. I went to look for him but it was useless. I knew something must be wrong. I asked around and found out that Lao Cui was injured."
