Volume Four, Chapter 87, Birthday(1/2)
This long stone staircase, just when Wang Xi thought it would never be finished, finally reached the end.
At this time, the Guimen Pass was really deserted. I was almost leaving the gate when I saw dozens of sparse Yin soldiers patrolling everywhere.
Once the road to Huangquan was cut off and Yin and Yang were separated, the strategic significance of Guimen Pass was reduced by more than half in an instant.
Coupled with the mysterious realm gate, when the underworld considers the allocation of troops, it is natural that the thinking is completely different from before.
"Look at the water in the Wangchuan River. It's both upstream and downstream, going around and around. Doesn't it look like reincarnation?" Xiao Yi stopped in the middle of the Naihe Bridge, holding the stone sculpture in his hand, and looked downriver.
Wang Xi stood beside her and said, "You're tired. You're usually so sentimental. Come on, I'll carry you and be obedient. We won't ride a giant panda this time."
The younger one nodded, stood up, and jumped onto the guardrail lightly, startling Wang Xi.
She opened her arms and swayed there.
"Be careful, you've been fighting all night and you're still so lively." Wang Xi quickly followed her pace.
"I don't have anyone to play with me, so I have to entertain myself." Xiaodao said.
Wang Xi thought about it for a moment and understood what it meant, but still pretended not to know and said, "Am I not with you?"
After saying that, he turned his back.
Xiao Yi jumped onto his back obediently.
Wang Xi staggered, took two hurried steps forward, used the situation as a buffer, and said: "It's still like a small tank."
"Which one is better to touch, my butt or Senior Sister Ying Ying's butt?" Xiao Yi asked softly in Wang Xi's ear.
Wang Xi was greatly embarrassed. In his panic just now, he put his hands where they shouldn't be. He quickly readjusted his posture and said, "Who said you should compare everything? Let's go. You can sleep for a while. I'll call you when we get to the inn.
, someone will come to pick us up."
In fact, the underworld soldiers were already far away, but they didn't come forward.
Wang Xi nodded to a centurion ghost general in the distance and walked silently.
He slowly sorted out some things in his mind twice.
To unlock the secrets of the Realm Gate, we cannot focus on the Realm Gate itself.
As soon as he came to the underworld, his memory was naturally evoked.
Last time in King Chujiang's palace, there were so many problems waiting to be solved. After returning to the earth, I was pushed away by countless things and had to forget them all.
Now that I think about it, I feel I have some ideas.
The ghost general in front of him held up his hands and was about to speak when Wang Xi winked at him and then tilted his head.
The ghost general was smart and said nothing. He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
The undead war horse was very obedient and leaned down, but despite this, Wang Xi was still unable to get on the horse quietly and woke up Xiao Yi.
"We'll be here soon. Look, I didn't lie to you. It's really not a giant panda." He put Xiao Yi on his chest, and the two of them rode together and rode slowly towards the palace of King Chu Jiang.
Wang Xi doesn't know how to ride a horse, so naturally he won't ride wildly.
Fortunately, this group of cavalry kept their speed very low, and the horses underneath them were almost just walking.
"Senior Wang, His Royal Highness King Chu Jiang is really kind to you." The ghost general next to him said to Wang Xi with his spiritual consciousness.
The King of Chu Jiang actually allowed this group of cavalry to delay like this.
Wang Xi picked up the jade token on his body. It was given to him by King Chu Jiang when he left the underworld last time, saying that he could pass the test with it.
"General, what does this jade sign say?" After fighting side by side with the Yin soldiers several times, he has already learned that as long as he is a centurion, he can be called a "general". There is absolutely no mistake.
The ghost general took the jade token and said: "Those who hold this jade token can pass through the gate of hell even if it is not opened. Of course, it can only be lifted in and closed, and the gate of ghost will not be opened. Even the princes can only
It can be like this."
But when he turned over the jade plaque and saw the word "Wang Xi" engraved on it, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately handed the jade plaque back to Wang Xi respectfully.
Seeing him like this, Wang Xi knew that there was something hidden, and was about to ask, but the other party said: "Senior Zhang seems to have a piece on his body, can I show it to this junior?"
Wang Xi held the reins with one hand and hugged Xiao Yi's waist with the other. With a gentle touch, he found the jade token and handed it to the ghost general.
Sure enough, on the back of the jade plaque, the three characters "Zhang Xiaoyi" are still engraved.
In fact, after Xiao Yi got on the horse, he felt that his posture was uncomfortable and it was difficult to fall asleep, so he just squinted his eyes and rested there. Wang Xi's soft waist was groped for a while, and his body suddenly felt a little soft, so he leaned back and balled up
The top of the head was on Wang Xi's chin, and a few stray hairs were teasing Wang Xi playfully.
"Why are you touching me!?" Xiao Yi nudged Wang Xi with his elbow.
This is right. Xiao Yi, who was in a daze, returned to his original temperament.
"It's easy to touch, so I'll touch it naturally." Wang Xi said with a smile.
The ghost general turned a deaf ear and handed the jade token back, saying: "Senior, please ask His Highness about this matter. I have only heard some of the rumors and don't dare to talk nonsense."
"Oh?" Wang Xi also turned over the jade plaque, looked at it, and continued, "So, this jade plaque has other uses?"
"Uh... Generally, this jade tablet is only for customs clearance. It is similar to the ultimatums in the ancient world. But the ones with names engraved on the back... Senior, have you seen the word 'Li' on the front?"
"I saw it. That...general...just call me by my name..." Wang Xi said.
"The names engraved on the front and back of this can only show that there is a connection between you and His Highness King Chujiang. As for its function, with this jade plate, as long as you encounter the Yin soldiers belonging to the Second Palace,
You can recruit at will, and you can reach up to a hundred-man team without declaring it. I don't know about the others." Ghost General said.
Wang Xi thanked him and quickly put the jade token away for Xiao Yi, which made Xiao Yi itchy and twist his waist.
"Mr. Wang, you're welcome..." After the ghost general said this, four riders appeared in front of him, flying towards him with dust flying all the way.
"General, all the daily necessities needed by the two distinguished guests have been delivered to the palace. Please return to the team!"
The centurion nodded and motioned for them to join the team.
Only then did Wang Xi realize that he didn't know how long he would stay in the underworld this time.
If you don’t prepare some daily necessities, you will probably starve to death, right?
"The cavalryman just now... had a very sweet smell..." Xiao Yi suddenly turned his head and said to Wang Xi.
Wang Xi said: "What does it mean to taste very sweet?"
"I can't describe it. In short, it smells very good. Just smelling it makes you hungry..." Xiao Daodao.
"I see you are really hungry. Let's go. Since you're awake, let's hurry up! Hold on tight!" Wang Xi held the reins firmly, kicked the spurs hard, and held Xiao Yi tightly in his arms.
, take this cavalry away...
Those who cannot ride a horse can only ride on the horse... bumping up and down...
Since these daily necessities should not have any privacy, after they were delivered to the palace, King Chu Jiang's bodyguard immediately opened the boxes and inspected them.
There is water, food, and some clothes.
A ghost general picked up two black packaging bags and shook them. They were very light and soft. It felt like there was almost nothing inside, and he suddenly felt alert.
Other clothes are neatly stacked and put inside.
And this... feels very mysterious...
Just when he was about to tear open the packaging bag, the female ghost general next to him suddenly reacted and said: "Wait a minute! This pile belongs to Zhang Xiaoyi? Who gave it to you?"
"Director Chang of the Third Hospital of the Third Hospital sent someone to give it to me at the Gate of Hell. Is there any problem, sister?"
The female ghost general said: "Go on one side, go on the other side, just leave this place to me."
The male ghost general glanced at her suspiciously and said, "No, it involves the prince's safety, so I don't dare. Moreover, according to the rules, a second inspection is required. Otherwise, you can open it and we can look at it together."
The female ghost put the black bag in front of her face and said: "Quick, use your spiritual sense to explore it! Immediately! Immediately!"
The male ghost general didn't know why she was so excited all of a sudden, but he quickly scanned it and said: "What a strange thing is this? It doesn't look like it can withstand the cold at all..."
"Do you want to take apart women's underwear and take a look?" the female ghost general asked.
When the male ghost heard this, he looked a little embarrassed and changed the subject: "Sister, you know so much... but what is this... this box...? I've already checked it out. I'm a little unsure.
How about you come and take care of the eyes?"
The female ghost will look at the cardboard box on the table. It is about one foot and one inch long and wide, and the packaging looks a bit beautiful.
"This is wax..." She picked up a plastic bag next to the carton and looked at the items inside.
"Wax?" The male ghost will be shocked. This is an absolute contraband!
For lighting in the underworld, only will-o'-the-wisps are allowed. And wax... can help burn the Yang fire!
How could something like this appear in the royal palace!?
"What do you want to say to the person you interact with?" the female ghost general asked.
"Yes, I was specifically told about this thing, so I put it on the table. I was told to handle this thing with care."
Handle with care?
Inflammable and explosive materials in the world!?
So, the two ghost generals said hello, and as if they were facing a formidable enemy, they called the other two palace guards over and carefully opened the paper box.
Suddenly...a strange fragrance spread in the hall.
