In the guest room, Meng Chuan got up from the bed and walked towards the door.
At his request, he lived in a separate room.
Close the door tightly and walk towards the dark corner of the courtyard.
Under the corner of the wall, at an unknown time, a beautiful figure appeared quietly.
This person is Empress Tianyao.
"My lord Meng, there are three days until the succession ceremony of the King of Hades."
"Time is running out, you can go to the underworld with me now, so you can make some preparations."
Inheriting the King of Hades is no small matter, so naturally he has to go back a few days in advance.
You can't just go back on the day of your old man's succession ceremony...
Chapter 40
Meng Chuan looked back at Zhao's courtyard and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll go back with you."
Going back this time means that the soul is out of the body, and the body is still in this mortal world, so there is no need to worry about anything.
"Meng Daren, this time the King of Hades Inheritance Ceremony, it is best for your soul to return to the underworld in a full state."
"In order to avoid any accidents in the succession ceremony."
In case there is trouble at the succession ceremony, and Meng Chuan's spirit is too weak, and he is destroyed directly, then it will be a big game.
Therefore, it is best for the soul in its prime to go back, complete the succession ceremony in a down-to-earth manner, and do everything safely and securely.
"Yes." Meng Chuan also felt that this was more practical.
He is not the real King of Hades yet, and after he inherits the throne of King of Hades and takes charge of the entire underworld, he doesn't have to worry about anything.
After the conversation between the two, Meng Chuan came out of his body and followed Empress Tianyao into the underworld.
As for the deity, there is only a trace of conscious control left.
...
Outside Jinling City.
Ten miles to the west, there is a Taoist temple.
Weeds hung on the beams, and the corroded pillars seemed to collapse at any moment.
The only intact thing in the Taoist temple is the plaque hanging at the door.
There are four big characters written on it flying like dragons and phoenixes.
Fumo Taoism.
In the Taoist temple, Zhang Daochang sat cross-legged on the haystack.
He held a yellow talisman in his hand.
The whole day, is to maintain this position.
His eyes stared at the black ink on the yellow talisman without blinking, as if his soul had been sucked in.
"What a profound sigil!"
"The Dao of Runes contained in it has taught me a lot!"
Two days ago, when I was setting up a stall on the street, I accidentally ran into three people. Among them, the seemingly inconspicuous child randomly scratched the yellow talisman, leaving a road.
I have been observing the sigil all day, and feel that my sigil technique has benefited a lot.
Improve at least one big realm.
shhhhhh...
The sound of stepping on weeds can be heard outside the Taoist temple.
A stalwart figure, carrying a paper bag and a jug of sake, entered the Taoist temple.
"Daoist Fumo!" Zhao Hongtian clasped his fists in both hands, and performed a warrior's salute.
This Taoist priest is powerful and famous, and with his status, he has to salute and say hello when meeting.
Zhang Qiushui's eyes swept across Zhao Hongtian's body, and his brows frowned slightly.
"Patriarch Zhao, your seal is black, and the clouds are overwhelming..."
"If it's not handled well, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster!"
"But something big happened in the clan?"
He has always been good at seeing people.
"The Daoist master has a wonderful plan..." Zhao Hongtian put the oiled paper bag and sake on the stone table beside him.
"This is a roast chicken specially prepared by the kitchen, and there is also a pot of Lingmi wine."
He knew Zhang Daochang's preferences.
If you ask the Taoist priest to do something, if you take valuable treasures, you will be blasted away instead.
Taking this kind of roast chicken and wine will make the Taoist priest very happy.
Anything you ask for can be done.
Zhang Daochang opened the paper bag, smelling the tempting aroma of chicken, his saliva almost flowed out.
Regardless of the image of an expert, he directly removed a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.
"The taste of this spiritual chicken is really good!"
As he spoke, he opened the jug, raised his head, and took several sips.
Zhao Hongtian squatted aside, watched silently, and did not mention what he asked for this time.
Zhang Daochang was full of wine and food, and wiped his hands on the Taoist robe.
"This time you came to me and brought such delicious food, I'm afraid it's because of the spiritual mine."
"The Daoist's eyes are as bright as a torch!" Zhao Hongtian knew that Zhang Daochang didn't like to beat around the bush, so he didn't hide it.
"I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of evil spirits in the mine, as well as the extremely powerful ghost king..."
"With the strength of the Zhao family, even if they all rushed into the mine, it would be the ghost emperor's teeth..."
"That's why I want to find the underworld and let those underworld servants help us get rid of these evil spirits!"
With so many evil spirits guarding the mine, every day of delay would cause an astronomical loss of spirit stones.
Within half a month at most, the spirit stones in the mine will be completely destroyed.
"I'm afraid it won't be as you wish..." Zhang Qiushui raised the jug, raised his neck, and drank it all in one gulp.
"The Underworld in Jinling City has been taken over by a Ghost Venerable..."
Due to changes in the underworld, half of the ghosts were scattered.
In the underworld to which Jinling City belongs, the number of dead and injured is extremely high.
Half a month ago, it was occupied by Ghost Venerable.
So, now there is no way to turn to the underworld here.
"What..." Zhao Hongtian's face was ashen, and his hands hidden in his cuffs trembled.
Guizun.
That is a terrifying existence comparable to the ancestor of Tianhuo.
Even if there is no way out, if the old ancestor is asked to go out, it is difficult to be the opponent of this ghost...
"The Underworld is occupied by the Ghost Venerable. Doesn't it mean that the Ghost Emperor in the mine is likely to be subordinate to this strong Ghost Venerable?"
After thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but gasp.
finished...
It's all over now...
Most of the mines can't be kept...
It can be said that it is easy for a strong man at the ghost level to control all the evil spirits near a city.
The Ghost Emperor can never escape the control of the Ghost Venerable, and nine out of ten he is the Ghost Venerable's subordinate.
In this way, even if the ancestor is asked to leave the customs and deal with the ghost emperor in the mine, it will not help.
Killing the Ghost Emperor is tantamount to completely annoying the Ghost Venerable. When the Ghost Venerable destroys the mine, their Zhao family will definitely not be able to resist this level.
So, now things are as bad as they get.
Zhao Hongtian sat slumped on the haystack, staring blankly at the beams.
A palm-sized spider dangled from the beam, dangling in front of his eyes, but the latter didn't notice it.
"Things may turn around..." Daoist Zhang patted Zhao Hongtian on the shoulder lightly.
"Is there a turning point?" Zhao Hongtian suddenly sat up.
These few words rekindled his hope.
"En." Zhang Daochang looked at the stars in the night sky.
"Over the years, I have dealt more or less with those ghosts, but I know a powerful person who is more than enough to deal with the ghost emperor."
"During this change in the underworld, nothing happened to this errand..."
"It's just that he hasn't appeared in the mortal world recently."
On weekdays, when he catches some evil spirits, he will hand them over to the underworld.
Once you come and go, you will get to know some bad guys.
"I still hope the Taoist priest will speak bluntly!" Zhao Hongtian said expectantly.
"As long as this errand comes forward, it will be easy to solve the ghost emperor." Zhang Daochang paused slightly, "But I haven't seen this errand recently, I'm afraid it will take some time..."
"Master Dao, we can't wait for Ling Mine even a day!" Zhao Hongtian said eagerly.
"I hope the Taoist priest will find a way to contact this lord!"
"Since you are so urgent, I have a way to find this errand as soon as possible..." Daoist Zhang took a deep look at Zhao Hongtian.
"I just don't know if patriarch Zhao dares to go with me."
"You mean...?"
"The soul is out of the body..." Zhang Daochang stroked his goatee, "Going to the underworld."
Chapter 41 Get the hell out of Zhao Mansion
early morning.
Zhao's backyard.
Luxurious guest rooms lined up in a row.
Chen Menghua walked slowly to the guest room with four servant girls, and told behind him: "Okay, you guys stay here, and no one is allowed to step in here without my permission, do you hear me clearly?"
Zhao Hongtian hurried back last night, saying that he had urgent business to do and would leave for a day or two.
After giving some orders, he left in a hurry.
Chen Menghua planned to take advantage of Zhao Hongtian's absence to completely settle Wang Yingxue's matter.
"The slaves obey!"
The leading servant girl hurriedly bowed her head in response, her expression very nervous.
On weekdays, Chen Menghua was notoriously strict.
If any maid did not do well, she would be beaten with a whip when she came up.
Another time, a maid who had just arrived accidentally smashed a flower pot at the door of his wife, and was punished to kneel for three days and three nights without a drop of water in it.
