Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 436 I am the Lord Under the Mountain

"It turns out that the last spell is called the Sinking Coffin!"

Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"It's not easy. I don't know how many generations it has been lost, and in the end even the name was not left. In my generation, I finally found this magic."

Without time to study the ingenuity of these two techniques, Xiao Ran stuffed the book into his arms and bowed to the old man at the door: "No matter what, I will repay this favor for helping me find the lost inheritance of my master's lineage."

The old man smiled and waved his hand, not taking the matter to heart. Obviously Xiao Ran was not the first person to say this.

The young man who said the same thing last time found me again after staying in the City of the Dead for a long time. He just left a book and left.

These things, the treasures of the mortal world, are nothing but a wisp of delusion here.

Whether they stayed in the City of the Dead or went to Fengdu, they were useless and could not defeat the powerful stick in the hands of the ghost.

As for reincarnation, hehe, don't even think about it. After drinking Meng Po soup, you will forget everything.

"There's another place I want to go. I wonder if I can go and see it."

Xiao Ran turned to look at the big monk and asked.

"Where?"

"My grandfather said that my parents are both dead, but I have never seen their souls. Even their graves are empty cenotaphs. So I want to find out whether my parents are dead or alive."

No one else can find out about this, but it should be a very simple matter for the underworld.

However, the great monk just counted with his fingers after hearing this, and after a moment he said, "You don't need to check this, you can't find it. Your parents' names have been erased from the Book of Life and Death, but I can tell you that your parents are not dead."

"Are you sure?!"

Xiao Ran perked up and stared at the monk.

The monk put his hands together and said: "Monks do not tell lies."

"So where are they? Why were their names erased?"

Xiao Ran followed up by asking his own questions.

The monk touched his head and said, "You need to find the answer yourself."

Seeing that the monk didn't say anything, Xiao Ran still wanted to ask a few more questions, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. This monk was not someone who could be easily fooled. If he didn't say anything, there was nothing he could do.

But now that I am sure that my parents are still alive, I can slowly look for them in the future. When I become stronger and more capable, I won't be afraid of not being able to find them.

When Xiao Ran thought of this, he felt relieved and asked, "Where are we going next?"

Although this journey seemed random, it was actually arranged by the great monk long ago, including bringing himself here, just to allow him to complete the last two techniques of corpse dissection.

So Xiao Ran really wanted to know what plans the monk and his men had next.

"Of course, go where you should go."

As he said this, he took Xiao Ran and continued walking eastward.

"Master, there is one thing I don't understand."

"But there's no harm in talking."

"Since you gave me the position of Patrolman and the Dragon Banner, why don't you just be generous? Why is my authority limited to sending those beasts to hell?"

Xiao Ran's words were both a test and a source of confusion.

If you are going to give authority, please be generous. Based on what those beasts like the Nine-Life Dragon have done, it would be too easy for them to be cut into pieces. The highest punishment I can give is no more than 100,000 years.

In response to Xiao Ran's question, the monk just smiled and explained, "This question is very simple. In the underworld, the law of the jungle is a traditional law, but there is no precedent for punishing people according to the law. Even if it is an extremely evil ghost, the King of Hell can only sentence him to hell at most, because the power to punish and kill only one person has it."

When Xiao Ran heard the monk's words, he was stunned. Most people couldn't understand what he said.

But if you think about it carefully, you will understand.

To put it bluntly, you can do whatever you want in the underworld or devour souls.

Even eating the ghosts in the City of the Dead as snacks is your personal behavior.

But if they want to kill you, or even a small ghost, in the name of the underworld, that won’t work.

Don't have that permission.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but ask curiously: "You just said that only one person has this power, who is it?"

The monk pointed to the top of his head.

As a result, Xiao Ran didn't understand it at all. He knew that the monk meant the above.

But who is up there? How would I know?

Seeing this, the big monk rolled his eyes. Even though he was a bald monk who was good at speaking, he didn't know how to explain to Xiao Ran today.

Fortunately, at this time, I heard someone speaking in the distance.

"There is no private land beneath Youshan, and there is no sky above Youshan. In this dark land, if anyone has the power to kill, it is the master of the underworld, the one on Youshan."

Xiao Ran looked up when he heard that, and realized that they had unknowingly arrived at the edge of the underworld.

Looking at the endless Yellow Springs in front of him, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel dazed.

I couldn't help but think of the old demon and the black stick.

I don't know what happened to these two guys now. Then I looked around and saw an old man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat squatting on a big rock next to Huangquan, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

Considering what the monk had said before about the appearance of the person he wanted to meet in the restaurant, Xiao Ran could basically conclude that it should be the old man in front of him.

"Youshan, who is on Youshan?"

Xiao Ran continued to ask, since you have asked some questions, don't be afraid of trouble, and make sure to ask clearly.

Otherwise, not only will it delay things, but if I really become a stepping stone for others as Jiu Ming Jiao said, at least I will know who I am stepping for.

"It is the one who gave you the permission to patrol the law."

The old man said without turning his head.

"Oh, it's him."

Xiao Ran suddenly realized that the first sentence of the decree was about serving the Great Emperor Tianqi Rensheng of Dongyue Mountain. He thought to himself, "I wonder what his relationship with the Taihua Immortal is?"

"Then I don't have any other questions. You two brought me here, so just tell me what you want to tell me."

Xiao Ran had basically asked everything he wanted to ask and say along the way.

The monk brought him here to meet this mysterious old man, which meant that it was their turn to speak.

The corners of the old man's mouth on the stone rose slightly, and without further ado, he reached out his hand, took out a piece of gold paper from the bamboo basket at his waist, and threw it behind him.

I saw the golden paper fluttering and falling into Xiao Ran's hands with a breeze.

Xiao Ran looked at the gold paper. There was not a single word on it.

"First of all, after your trip to the Lost City, go to Shu and give this to Taoist Plum Blossom."

"Plum Blossom Taoist?"

Xiao Ran was shocked when he heard this. Although he had heard about the Plum Blossom Taoist from the bald old man, he also knew that the Plum Blossom Taoist was not dead, at least his soul had not fallen into the underworld.

He thought that Taoist Plum Blossom must be hiding in some corner of the maze city, just like Li Qijing.

But I didn't expect that it would happen in reality. If this old guy were alive, what would I be? ?

Just when Xiao Ran was thinking about a lot of things, he heard the big monk next to him said, "Don't you want to know about your parents? Plum Blossom Taoist may be a clue, but whether he is willing to tell you depends on your means."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ran's pupils jumped sharply, and he stared at the monk meaningfully: "Really?"

"Monks don't tell lies."

Seeing the monk say this, Xiao Ran no longer hesitated, nodded, folded the gold paper, and put it in the book.

"The second thing is that the Lost City will soon fall to the ground. When that time comes, I need you to help me do something. Escort a person to a place. I can't tell you the details now. He will naturally come to you. What you need to do is to keep him safe."

After saying that, the old man turned around and stared at Xiao Ran with eyes as deep as the abyss: "This matter is very dangerous. You must be prepared early, ready for death and the destruction of your soul."

It was obviously not an easy task to make the old man warn me with such a serious expression.

"This is the reward. I'll give it to you in advance. You can choose not to do it, but I'll take it back when the time comes."

As the old man spoke, he took out another thing from the bamboo basket, weighed it in his hand for a few times, and then threw it to Xiao Ran.

When Xiao Ran took it and took a look, he found that it was actually a small coffin.

This coffin is only the size of a palm.

The whole body is like crystal.

But I don't know what it is used for, it feels like a pendant.

Xiao Ran tried to open the coffin, but found that it was still sealed and could not be opened.

"What is this??"

"It's just a small item. Just wear it on your body. Sooner or later, you will need it. By then, you will naturally know what it is used for."

The old man didn't explain the purpose of this thing. He stood up and put away the fishing rod.

"That's all. I'll leave it to you to take him back. Come back to me later. I have something else to tell you."

The monk was not angry at being assigned like this by the old man, and even being called a bald donkey, as if he had already become accustomed to it.

Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Xiao Ran suddenly called out to stop him.

"Wait a moment."

The old man stopped and looked back at Xiao Ran.

"I'll work for you and take the blame, but I don't want to be a fool. At least let me know who you two are."

"Haha." The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and smiled at Xiao Ran. Then he turned around and turned into a wisp of gloomy wind and disappeared without a trace.

But even though the person left, the voice never left.

All that was heard was the old man's clear voice, echoing over this underworld.

"The ten Yama Kings worship my name, and the six palaces bow and call me Lord.

I am your subordinate as the ghost emperors of the five directions and I am the king of the ten great demons.

I am the master of Yinluo Mountain, the northern town of Fengdu. "
