Wang Baishun's expression immediately changed, and he looked at Xu Ping in front of him in shock.
It was too dark at that time, and he did not see the faces of Xu Ping and others. Seeing him suddenly mention this matter, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After looking at Xu Ping carefully, he half-smiled but said, "It turns out that you released that weird bug."
"Ouch..."
A cry suddenly came from Xu Ping's waist. Dahei poked his head out, raised his mouth and shouted dissatisfiedly, as if he was dissatisfied with the term "bug".
Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Baishun was startled for a moment. He suddenly felt that his buttocks were still in burning pain.
Xu Ping nodded to Song Qingling, who immediately stood up, holding the soul chain in his hand, looking at Wang Baishun in front of him with concentration and alertness.
Dahei also appeared immediately, his figure instantly elongated, forming horns with Xu Ping and Song Qingling, trapping Wang Baishun in the middle.
Looking at Xu Ping in front of him with such a posture, Wang Baishun immediately shook his head: "Do you think that with my way of doing things, I can kill him? And you may not know that it is impossible to stab him at the position where I strike.
.”
Xu Ping frowned: "Then why are you still doing this?"
He was completely confused and completely confused.
Wang Baishun stood up slowly, stood with his hands behind his hands, and said softly: "Because I have always suspected that the disappearance of the King of Hell has a lot to do with him. Although I can't kill him, I can tell him one thing. I have been investigating
This matter."
"its not right!"
"What does your assassination of him have to do with the whereabouts of the King of Hell?"
Song Qingling suddenly spoke up. After speaking, she looked at Xu Ping and smiled sweetly at him.
Wang Baishun shook his head slowly: "Because I once made a gentleman's agreement with him. I will assassinate him every three days. If I really threaten him, he will tell me the truth about the disappearance of the King of Hell."
Not lying!
Under the influence of the qi-gazing technique, Xu Ping judged that everything Wang Baishun said in front of him was true.
This also means that Zhong Kui Zhenjun also concealed what he said to me. He must know how the King of Hell disappeared.
Xu Ping fell into deep thought, while Wang Baishun looked at him and continued: "The King of Hell and I have a close relationship, so after he disappeared, I made many inquiries and found out that the King of Hell had a quarrel with Zhong Kui some time before his disappearance.
One fight and a big fight."
If it's just like this, then it seems like it has nothing to do with me.
He thought that the king Bai Shun in front of him was sent by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Xu Ping asked him to sit down again, thought for a while, and said: "Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with me, but I still want to say something."
In a word, with Taoist Wang's current behavior, there should be no hope of hurting the True Lord Zhong Kui."
Xu Ping knew from a comparison that the conduct of both parties was not at the same level at all.
Wang Baishun said: "Actually, I have attempted assassination many times. Although I failed every time, Zhong Kui did not feel sorry for me. But the more this happens, the more curious I become about the disappearance of the King of Hell."
If ordinary people are constantly being assassinated, they will inevitably have resentment in their hearts, and may even want to get rid of the other party to avoid future troubles.
But Zhong Kui Zhenjun is not like this. It just confirms that sentence, the other person has abused me thousands of times, and I treat him like my first love.
The Maoshan Taoist priest in front of me seems to have reached the end of his rope.
Because he didn't understand anything, Xu Ping didn't know who was right or wrong, so he said loudly, "Daozhang Wang, just pretend that I have never met you today, and I will not interfere in the grudge between you and True Lord Zhong Kui."
"Thank you!"
Wang Baishun stood up and gave a salute, and then said, "I would like to ask, I don't know why you came to the underworld. Is it related to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
"Um."
Xu Ping nodded: "Actually, I have been favored by True Lord Zhong Kui. This time I was invited by him to come to the underworld to help deal with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
Wang Baishun nodded: "I should have thought of it."
Xu Ping thought for a while and asked: "Wang Dao has lived in the underworld for a long time. Do you know what the purpose of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva this time is?"
Wang Baishun pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest, I don't know about this matter, but I know one thing. The reason why Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva behaves like this is probably related to the closure of the Immortal Court."
"oh?!"
Xu Ping looked surprised: "Does Taoist Wang also know about this?"
Wang Baishun said: "The closure of the Immortal Court may be considered a secret in the human world, but in the underworld, if not everyone knows about it, then it's pretty much it."
No wonder.
The impact of the closure of the Immortal Court on the human world is definitely not as big as the impact on the underworld, especially for those Yin gods, whose ascending channels must be directly closed.
"There is one more thing I would like to ask Mr. Wang."
"If you don't mind asking for advice, please tell me."
Xu Ping said directly: "If Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva were to invade this time, I wonder which side you would take, Taoist Master?"
Wang Baishun frowned: "What does it have to do with me?"
Xu Ping was stunned for a moment.
I didn't expect him to have such a reply.
Wang Baishun continued: "In fact, no matter who leads the underworld, it is the same for the ordinary ghosts in the underworld. The general environment is like this, and no one can change it."
The conflict between the underworld and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva may be due to interests.
But the conflict between ordinary ghosts and the underworld is due to reincarnation.
"And there will never be a large-scale invasion in the Fengdu underworld. Either Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva launches a strong attack on the underworld, or the underworld launches an encirclement and suppression campaign against Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
Wang Baishun looked at Fengdu outside the window and said softly: "And in my estimation, it should be soon."
Although Xu Ping knew that his idea was right, he was still curious and asked: "How can you see it?"
Wang Baishun smiled softly: "I have lived in the underworld for a long time and am a cultivator. I can naturally see that many ghosts with impure auras have suddenly appeared in the city during this period of time. They are very curious about everything. It is obvious that they just came from
The underworld actually controls a passage and more than half a step. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who has already controlled more than half a step, must have a way to quietly transport those tens of thousands of ghosts.
However, from Wang Baishun's words, Xu Ping also learned that the ghosts living in the underworld and the ghosts half a step away have obvious differences in their ideas.
Because I have a number plate in my hand and I still have thoughts about reincarnation, I won’t do anything random.
The ghost that is more than half a step away does not know anything, so it is easier to be bewitched.
This also means that what the entire underworld has to deal with may be the tens of thousands of ghosts. The ghosts in Fengdu will follow them, maybe not too many.
After exchanging a few words, Wang Baishun was very interested in the current situation of Maoshan.
But because he died aggrieved and violated the precepts, he did not dare to contact his fellow disciples in Maoshan. This was the first time in so many years that he learned about the current situation in Maoshan.
When he learned that Maoshan and Longhushan were taking the lead in wiping out the White Lotus Sect, which had caused trouble for thousands of years, he smiled with joy on his face.
At this moment, Xu Ping was standing by the window and suddenly felt two familiar smells on the street.
Taking a closer look, two figures immediately caught his attention.
In Xu Ping's eyes, the disguise of an ox-headed and horse-faced person was almost non-existent. Xu Ping just glanced at them and they seemed to be standing there naked.
Seeing Xu Ping staring at the two figures on the street with a strange look on his face, Wang Baishun asked: "Fellow Daoist Xu, what are you looking at?"
Xu Ping shook his head, "Nothing."
As he said that, he clasped his fists and said, "I have disturbed Taoist Wang today. If I have the opportunity another day, I will talk to you again and say goodbye."
After greeting Song Qingling, putting away the big black, Xu Ping quickly blended into the street and followed the bull-headed horse.
After following them for a long time, they gradually got away from the ghost group. When they saw a bull head and a horse face entering a dilapidated temple, Xu Ping told Song Qingling to be careful and took her inside.
In the main hall of the temple, the Buddha statue has its head cut off and is in a dilapidated state.
A thick layer of dust accumulated on the shrine. When the bull head and horse face came here, their figures suddenly turned into two black smoke and penetrated into the severed Buddha statue.
Song Qingling, who already knew their identities, looked excited, "Brother Xu, do we want to go and have a look too?"
"certainly!"
"But...it's not us, it's me."
Xu Ping looked at her excited expression and disappeared immediately. He smiled and pulled up her hair and said softly: "Don't go anywhere, wait for me here."
As he spoke, Xu Ping stretched out his finger and drew a vague stroke in the space in front of her. Song Qingling disappeared without a trace in an instant and was thrown into the void space by him.
…
Inside the Buddha statue.
As soon as Xu Ping entered this place, he felt that the surroundings were extremely cold, as if he was in an ice cellar.
In front of him was a corridor as tall as one person, without any light.
As he walked along the corridor, Xu Ping was extremely vigilant at every step.
The reason why I entered the Buddha statue alone was because I was extremely confident in my own path.
And being cautious is his consistent behavior.
Not long after he walked out, Xu Ping vaguely heard conversations coming from the front.
Using the elusive ghost in the dark place, Xu Ping continued to approach the front, and saw an open space in front of him. There were seven or eight ugly evil ghosts sitting in a group in the open space, and the white flames in the middle were burning.
A few little devils.
Good guy!
The best food here is the same kind.
"Hey, I told you two to come over, didn't it arouse any suspicion?"
Sitting closest to Xu Ping was a horned evil ghost. He asked questions in the face of a bull-headed horse with a very rude tone.
As if the bull-headed horse-faced man was his subordinate, he just shook his head: "We brothers just went to King Taishan, so it won't arouse any suspicion."
An old ghost wearing an embroidered satin shroud with gold threads asked: "You went to King Taishan, did you have any orders?"
Niu Tou shook his head and said: "It's nothing, just a message that the man named Xu Ping has arrived."
The one who spoke first had a look of astonishment on his face: "It's so fast, but we're not ready yet."
"Don't worry, he will live in the underworld for a few days. Then we brothers will send him to the eighteenth level of hell. This time he will definitely never come back."
The horse smiled scornfully.
Xu Ping was stunned for a moment. He originally followed him, but he also felt that the behavior of the bull-headed horse-faced man was strange.
But he didn't expect that it would involve him in the end.
"Has the underworld been soaked to this extent? Another King of Mount Tai has appeared. The whereabouts of Lord Yama are unknown. I am afraid this underworld has ceased to exist in name only."
Xu Ping couldn't help but think of it.
At this time, an evil ghost immediately echoed: "This time we have completed the mission of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, maybe we can also be rewarded with black lotus, and there is hope for immortality."
Immortal way!
Xu Ping's heart was shaken. It turned out that things were not that simple. What did this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva want to do?
"Heh~~~"
The devil with the horns said with disdain: "You are the only ones who want to touch the immortal way."
As soon as he said these words, the ghosts immediately shut up and dared not speak in anger.
"Red Demon, what you said is a bit too much. None of us followed the Bodhisattva for the sake of immortality. Besides, the Bodhisattva also made a promise."
The two brothers, Niu Tou and Ma Mian, looked displeased. They didn't like his arrogant and domineering appearance. Niu Tou finally couldn't help it and questioned him.
The red demon with the first horns glanced at him and said: "I will tell you something. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva entrusted us to handle this matter together, and asked me to take the lead. If after the matter is finished, there will be something wrong.
The lotus reward is mine too, don’t think about it.”
"Red Devil, why are you so domineering? If it's something else, forget it, but regarding Black Lotus, we can't give in."
"that is!"
"Everyone deserves credit when things are done. Why should you only enjoy the benefits?"
The red demon slowly stood up, his fierce look revealed, and his face was ferocious: "Why, just for this!"
Before it finished speaking, the horns on its head turned fiery red in an instant, and the blazing fire dragon spiraled out, burning the old ghost who collided with it into ashes.
The ghosts didn't expect it. They didn't expect that they could suddenly set fire to something they said well, and take action as soon as they said they would. They were so ruthless.
"Who else?"
The red devil looked around, his horns were wrapped in red flames, and no one dared to meet his eyes.
"Red Devil, they may be afraid of you, but we brothers are not afraid of you." Niutou stood up slowly, with a sneer on his lips.
Ma Mian also stood up and supported his brother.
The red devil's face changed slightly, and he looked at the bull-headed horse, knowing that if it was one-on-one, he would not be afraid at all, but when dealing with two at the same time, he was not sure of victory.
But despite this, he showed no fear in his aura and snorted coldly: "Huh, there are only two of you here, and you still have some ability. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a hand after I achieve the immortal path."
As soon as these words came out, the other evil ghosts all turned sideways and looked at the bull-headed horse face.
If these three decide to come together, then there will definitely be no hope for them to get Black Lotus.
Even before things started, internal strife broke out, and Xu Ping was speechless.
It's obvious that this red devil is not a leader at all, and he doesn't even know how to paint a pie. If he puts it so clearly, how can these evil ghosts work for him?
Sure enough, an evil ghost immediately stood up and said angrily: "In that case, I, the perverted ghost, will withdraw from this operation, and you three can handle it yourself."
