The crimson war horses trampled on the ground. Some skeletons who could not dodge had just crawled out of the graves and stretched themselves, only to be mercilessly trampled to pieces by the war horses.
Many wandering souls were unable to dodge when they saw this, and were instantly swept away by the torrent.
Everyone says that death is the greatest justice.
But in Hades, the law of the jungle has not changed, but has become even more severe.
Especially those wandering ghosts who have no money to enter the town. In the eyes of these cavalry, they are just like air and worthless.
"They are the White Emperor's iron-blooded guards!"
On the hill in the distance, Xie Qi, Fan and Eight looked at the cavalry going away, and couldn't help but sweat for Xu Tong.
Even if the news had been received early, knowing that the Western female envoy was coming this time would definitely cause a shock.
But who could have imagined that it would cause so much turmoil.
"Deserve it!"
Fan Ba said these two words coldly, as if he had expected such a result.
"That's what I say, but that kid is innocent. Should we help him or not?"
Xie Qi still had a good impression of Xu Tong, but the key point was that the two of them actually owed this boy a favor.
If I had known about what happened today, I would have said that I would not take money from that guy last time, and I would have stayed out of it now.
"Let's see!"
It seemed that the third word never came out of Fan Ba's mouth.
That means Xie Qi can stand him.
While the two were talking, they saw another team coming from a distance, heading straight towards Youshan.
For a time, the ghosts and gods were silent, the dead souls retreated, and the atmosphere was tense. Even the monsters in the Yin and Yang Dao who whined all day wisely chose to shut up, for fear that they would be too loud and cause a big blow.
"Kakakaka..."
It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down. This is the situation that Xu Tong is in now.
But this difficulty does not refer to going down the mountain, but to the bottom.
Passing by Bailu Pavilion along the way, the innkeeper seemed to have gotten the news early and closed the door immediately.
Xu Tong was quite helpless about this. Fortunately, they did not need to use mountain ghosts to drag the stupid and ugly carriage. They entered the battle with a light vehicle, and the speed was still quite fast.
After a while, we reached the halfway point of the mountain. If we walked down for about half an hour, we would probably be able to reach the foot of the mountain before dark.
As for what was going on at the bottom of the mountain, Xu Tong really didn't know. Sitting on the carriage at the moment, his expression was somewhat solemn.
"So, Master and Master haven't come out yet?"
"Yes, and I don't think we will be able to come out in a while." Although the old Taoist didn't know what happened, he had so much experience.
Just looking at the attitude of the yin gods around them towards them, plus Lilith's injury, I probably already had some assumptions in my mind.
Afterwards, some divination was performed, and the result was the Gu hexagram, Wind Mountain Gu.
After taking a look at the hexagram, the old Taoist could only shake his head.
Among the sixty-four hexagrams, there is no absolute evil hexagram, but there must be several very bad hexagrams, among which the Gu hexagram is one of them.
This shows how bad Xu Tong's luck is at the moment.
Xu Tong obviously also realized that his luck was very bad at the moment. It seemed that when he came out of the Forbidden Palace of the Great Emperor, his luck had already begun to show a downward trend.
Seeing that the old Taoist divined for himself again, and it turned out to be a Gu divination, Xu Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Is there any solution?"
"Yes! Let's cut through the mess quickly with a broad stroke!"
The old man raised his head and glanced at the carriage behind him. It was already obvious that he wanted to either kill Xu Tong all the way out or chop Lilith's body with a knife.
Now it depends on how Xu Tong chooses.
Xu Tong turned around and lifted the curtain with his fingers to take a look. He saw Lilith lying in the car with her face like gold paper.
"But if the godhead is injured, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover for a while."
The eldest princess raised her head and said to Xu Tong.
In a certain sense, gods are almost equal to immortality. They can have countless clones. Even if the clone is destroyed, it doesn't matter, but if the godhead is damaged, it will be very troublesome.
In this situation, the eldest princess and the old Taoist were helpless.
"Da da da……"
At this moment, Xu Tong's ears moved and he heard the sound of horse hooves at the bottom of the mountain. They were still far away from the bottom of the mountain, but the sound of horse hooves was roaring like thunder.
It can be seen that the following may not be as simple as one or two teams.
"auspicious!"
Xu Tong shouted, and saw Jixiang emerge from the entrance of the hall. Without Xu Tong's instructions, he turned into a black shadow and went straight down the mountain.
After about an hour of burning incense, when Jixiang came back and danced with joy, everyone realized that the people below were already surrounded by people.
"They are so bold. This is a remote mountain. They really have no scruples at all??"
Xu Tong frowned.
He knew that things were troublesome, but he didn't expect that these people would directly block him at the foot of Youshan.
"I'm afraid this is a rule that has been tacitly accepted."
The old Taoist said in a low voice.
The people at the top don't move and let the people at the bottom fight. Even if it causes a huge disaster, it's just a small fight. The top people only need to move their fingers to get rid of this.
The worst thing is to say that the emperor is lax and punish himself with three glasses of wine.
Experienced experts have seen this kind of thing many times. For example, in the late Qing Dynasty, salt bureau officials did not ask anything about smuggling private salt. Several private salt leaders paid a large sum of money every year to honor them.
They just set a rule that there can only be a few teams smuggling illegal salt. If there are more teams, everyone will have nothing to eat.
So there would be similar fighting with weapons every year. The winner would naturally make a fortune through smuggling, while the loser would retreat quietly. Sometimes the fight would be brutal, with thousands of people fighting in a melee.
Every year when it comes time to choose a family to sell private salt, all the officials in the officialdom will gather together to have a meal and let them be beaten to death until the next day.
It goes without saying that the winner will go away obediently, and the loser will go away obediently. As for the unlucky ones who were beaten to death, they will be labeled as bandits and reported to the court, and they will also receive additional rewards from the court.
So the situation at hand is the same.
"Hahahaha, Xu, you are unlucky today. Come here and kowtow three times to me. Maybe we can spare your life!"
At this time, a burst of yelling and cursing suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain, which could be heard clearly from a distance.
"It's them!"
Xu Tong recognized the owner of the curse by hearing the voice.
As soon as my mind moved, I had an idea. Since it was a tacit rule, don't blame yourself for making things worse.
Even a stubborn person can still be angry, let alone an unscrupulous guy like Xu Tong.
He immediately led the team and quickly walked down the mountain.
"Crash la la la..."
Another team came from afar, and the wandering spirits in the village at the foot of the mountain were almost frightened.
Even the old man who claimed to have seen the Ghost Emperor was so frightened that he trembled all over and told the villagers not to go out and to hide at home. This was not a lively scene to watch.
"You have been around for so long, but have you ever seen something like this??"
Someone asked about the old man. The old man was silent for a while and nodded: "This is not an exception. I remember that there was once a Taoist who made a big fuss in the underworld, causing the ghosts in the underworld to cry and howl, and finally escaped without a trace."
The old man talked about his past experiences, which made many young ghosts find it incredible.
You can make a big fuss in the underworld and still escape with your whole body intact? Could it be that the opponent is Sun Wukong?
The old man didn't argue with them, he just told everyone not to go out and hurriedly closed the door.
"Brother, look over there, it looks like the Red Demon Soldiers of the Red Emperor, and the leader seems to be one of the generals under the Red Emperor."
"We've been making such a big battle for a long time, why did a partial general come? It would be better to kill the gatekeeper of the city in vain."
Xia Yan and others complained.
Zhou Mu waved his hand to stop them: "What do you know? You can't let those generals do this kind of thing, otherwise it will not end well. If there are casualties, it will not only be embarrassing, but also difficult to deal with."
After speaking, Zhou Mu sneered and said, "Besides, although the leader is a partial general, the ones below are all elites. Let's see if the one named Xu can be so tough this time."
"Come down!"
Xia Yan pointed forward, and sure enough he saw Xu Tong's carriage slowly coming down the mountain road.
"so much!"
On the carriage shaft, even though the veteran was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw the movement at the bottom of the mountain.
Looking around, there were at least nearly three thousand, and each team was extraordinary. Compared with the White Emperor Guards they had encountered before, they were not at the same level.
These are all real elites, and it looks like they are getting serious.
Xu Tong looked indifferent to this. When he glanced around, he saw Zhou Mu and others in a group.
It's not that I pay special attention to them, but their mounts are so eye-catching that it's not difficult to find them with just a quick glance.
"You guys wait for me here."
After Xu Tong finished speaking to the old Taoist, he mounted a war horse alone and ran down the mountain.
Xu Tong's every move naturally attracted the attention of many people. When they saw Xu Tong running down the mountain alone, many people had sarcasm on their faces.
When I came here, I heard that this guy was so bold that he even dared to tear up the decrees of the White Emperor. Now that I came here alone, I'm afraid I'm going to hand him over to someone.
Sure enough, after Xu Tong slowly approached, he turned his eyes, glanced at the teams in front of him, and cupped his hands: "Welcome the envoy Xu Tong to pay homage to the generals. I wonder why these generals set up checkpoints here?"
Xu Tong pretended to be ignorant, but some people actually believed him.
"Hand over the people and get out of here with your people."
The speaker was a black-faced ghost general, holding a big ax in his hand and wearing a layer of heavy armor. Even his mount was also covered in heavy armor and was taller than the war horse Xu Tong sat on.
When he came out, he saw him riding his horse towards Xu Tong.
