"Is it Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who just took action?"
As soon as she stopped, Song Qingling asked hurriedly.
Xu Ping turned around and looked at Luoyou Mountain in the distance, nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "It should be."
When the palm as big as a mountain peak suddenly rose from Luoyou Mountain, Xu Ping felt it immediately. If he had been a second later, he would have been left on the spot.
so close!
Song Qingling also had lingering fears, and felt that it was very exciting to escape from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Looking at Xu Ping in front of her, she calmed down and asked: "Brother Xu, what should we do next?"
"wait!"
Xu Ping looked around, found an inn, and said, "Let's go to that inn and stay there first, and then we'll see what happens."
Song Qingling nodded, but still asked: "But Brother Xu, don't we go to help? I heard a lot along the way that Lord Zhenjun is dealing with Lord Yan."
Xu Ping looked at her and shook his head: "His underworld is currently cleaning up the inside. We can't get involved. It's better to hide in the dark and understand the situation before we talk."
Due to the lurking of the three incarnations, Xu Ping now fully understands all the other party's arrangements, but they will definitely change their plans now, so the information they get can only be used as a reference.
He also did not expect that the identity of the incarnation could be revealed before he stepped into Luoyou Mountain. Sure enough, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva cannot be underestimated.
Xu Ping took Song Qingling to find an inn to rest first, and then went to inquire about the situation outside. When he came to the snack street, he saw at a glance the grinning fried ghost stall among the ghosts.
Wang Baishun has been in a very good mood recently, because he has found out that Meng Po is very safe at more than half a step away, but the place where she stays makes him very dissatisfied.
Just as he was thinking about whether to wait until this commotion was over before he could express his feelings, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
"You two, would you like some..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Ping and Song Qingling clearly in front of him, and he suddenly looked shocked, "You, why are you here?"
"Why, guests are not welcome?"
Xu Ping smiled and said hello, while Song Qingling also rolled her eyes.
Wang Baishun shook his head, looked around, and whispered: "Speak in another place."
Xu Ping said: "It's still the same teahouse from before."
With that said, he took Song Qingling with him, just like taking his little daughter-in-law, and walked forward boldly.
After he left, Wang Baishun also packed up his stall. The old man selling sesame oil on the side saw it and asked with a smile: "Old Wang, why are you leaving so early today?"
Wang Baishun laughed: "I don't have much business anyway, so I plan to visit the kilns."
As he spoke, the entire stall turned into the size of tissue paper, floated into his sleeves, and walked towards another place.
When the old man selling sesame oil next to him saw this, he shook his head and stopped looking.
Xu Ping and Song Qingling sat down in the teahouse. As soon as the waiter brought the tea bowl, Wang Baishun arrived.
"Xiao Xu, what happened in the past few days is that something went wrong in the Eighteenth Level of Hell?" Wang Baishun asked as soon as he sat down.
You guessed it correctly... Xu Ping nodded and asked directly: "Old Wang, the reason why I came to you is because I want to ask you something..."
"But it doesn't matter."
Xu Ping raised his hand in thanks and said, "How much do you know about Judge Lu Zhidao?"
"Lu Zhidao..."
Wang Baishun groaned and said: "I only know that he had some unpleasantness with Zhong Kui back then, and I haven't seen him since. It seems that he went to the eighteenth level of hell."
In other words, Lu Zhidao is very likely to stab him in the back, so we have to guard against this.
Xu Ping secretly noted this incident and planned to send an incarnation later to deliver the message to Zhong Kui while guarding the Eighteenth Level of Hell.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Ping asked again: "There is one more thing I want to discuss with you, Yixi. Regarding the current situation in Fengdu, how many ghosts are on the side of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
Although Zhong Kui was cleaning up the inside, it was inevitable that some fish would slip through the net. At this juncture, Xu Ping remained cautious as usual and planned to cooperate in secret operations and did not plan to go to the underworld to meet him.
As a powerful practicing ghost, Wang Baishun has been in a complex environment all year round, so he must be able to find out a lot of information.
That's why Xu Ping came to him to inquire.
Facing Xu Ping, Wang Baishun did not hesitate and nodded directly and replied: "Although I have said before that most ghosts adhere to the principle of not caring about themselves, but after all, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva does not
Come forward directly."
"If he comes forward directly, I'm afraid the situation will definitely be different. There are many ghosts, and they might immediately defect to him."
If that was the case, it would be quite a force. Xu Ping fell into deep thought, while Wang Baishun continued.
"One thing you may not know yet is that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has sent people to keep an eye on most of the powerful neutral ghosts in Fengdu."
"Including me."
Xu Ping didn't pay attention to this. He frowned slightly and said in shock: "What does he mean by this? What does he want to do?"
Wang Baishun shook his head: "I don't know this either, but I know that the person staring at me is the old ghost selling sesame oil next to my shop."
You can't know what the other person means by just guessing. Xu Ping's eyes narrowed and he said: "Old Wang, how about we go and feel his bottom together?"
Wang Baishun was delighted: "That's exactly what I meant."
Song Qingling, who had never spoken a word, suddenly said: "What about me?"
Xu Ping looked at her, his eyes moving slightly, "You and I are still of great use. Let's go back and rest for now. I'll come back to you in the evening."
When Song Qingling heard this, her face turned slightly red, she lowered her head shyly, and hummed like a quail.
Wang Baishun, on the other hand, looked at them and couldn't help but have a myriad of thoughts.
…
at this time.
In the ghost market, the old ghost selling sesame oil suddenly lost interest because of Wang Baishun's departure, and began to pack his things and prepare to go back to rest.
Xu Ping and Wang Baishun watched from a distance.
His eyes glowed slightly, and Xu Ping finally saw that this old ghost was indeed a ghost, and its body was a centipede.
He couldn't help but glance at Wang Baishun beside him, who was stunned for a moment and asked: "Xiao Xu, why are you looking at me like this?"
"Nothing." Xu Ping shook his head. Seeing that the old ghost had left the ghost market, he immediately called Wang Baishun to follow him.
They had always maintained a safe distance. Xu Ping and Wang Baishun were of high moral character, so the old ghost was unable to notice them for a while.
Until the other party turned into an alley, Xu Ping and Wang Baishun ignored him, quickened their pace, and immediately followed him.
What appeared in front of him was a dilapidated house, and the figure of the old ghost had just disappeared inside.
"I'll go in and subdue you first, and wait for my news." Xu Ping said.
Wang Baishun was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but he had already seen Xu Ping spread out his body and quickly rushed in, like a flash of lightning without making any sound.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ping was heard shouting: "Old Wang, come in."
Darling, so fast!
Wang Baishun didn't even react when he heard Xu Ping's shouting. He stepped forward, even holding the white bone sword in his hand just to prevent fraud.
When the situation inside the house came into view, he couldn't help but be shocked. He saw a huge centipede stepping on Xu Ping's feet. The centipede struggled violently and was unable to break free. The feet on its body were like Mount Tai and could not be shaken at all.
"let me go!"
"Who are you? What do you want to do to me?"
The old ghost demon was lying on the ground, opening and closing its mouthparts, and yelling crazily.
Seeing such a scene, Wang Baishun was stunned. It had only been a second. In his opinion, this powerful ghost had been subdued.
"It's you!"
The old ghost demon didn't know Xu Ping, but he recognized Wang Baishun and became even more excited. "Old Wang, what do you mean? Ask him to let me go."
Wang Baishun rushed over, used his sword as a whip, and struck the demon centipede on its shell, shouting: "Be honest, I will answer whatever I ask you later."
Wang Baishun's sword immediately left a white mark on the shiny metallic shell on the centipede's back.
And it was this sword that made the ghost centipede shut up immediately and just looked at Xu Ping and Wang Baishun hatefully.
Facing such a look, Xu Ping had already seen it many times and ignored him. He just asked: "Let me ask you, what is your purpose in hanging around the ghost market?"
"..."
silence.
The ghost centipede fell into silence and said nothing.
I like your tough-tongued look. Xu Ping smiled softly: "I've seen you like this too many times. Since you don't say anything, forget it."
Wang Baishun and the ghost centipede were stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable.
"Just let it go?" Wang Baishun asked hurriedly.
Xu Ping chuckled and said, "When did I say let him go?"
As he spoke, a flash of pink light flashed in his eyes, and the ghost centipede under his feet also immediately looked stupid at this moment.
"Ah this..."
It was obvious that the situation of this ghost centipede was a bit abnormal. Wang Baishun was shocked. He had never seen such a method before.
"The Bodhisattva ordered me to come here and keep an eye on Lao Wang, just thinking that in an emergency, if we are defeated by then, I can cast a mind-dispersing spell on him and let him drive us."
The ghost centipede told everything in detail.
Xu Ping had been listening quietly, and he couldn't help but think in his heart that over the years, there have been so many masters in the underworld. If this were true, they would definitely be caught off guard.
"Your way is not good enough, so why should you let him listen to you?"
Facing Xu Ping's question, the ghost demon centipede said without any secret at this time: "This mind-relaxing spell was made by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva himself. They can't resist it."
As he spoke, he spit out a piece of yellow paper, and what was drawn on it was the mind-relaxing spell.
Produced by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, no wonder you are so confident.
Xu Ping bent down to pick it up calmly, and then stuffed it into the bottomless pit. Of course, such a good thing should not be missed.
After understanding it, Xu Ping turned to look at Wang Baishun and said, "Look, you want to stand by and watch, but he doesn't want you to be alone."
Wang Baishun fell into silence. After a moment, he looked at Xu Ping and said: "Zhong Kui is highly suspected of the disappearance of Lord Yama. This is why I am unwilling to help him, but I want to ask you why you want to help."
he?"
Xu Ping stretched out two fingers: "Two reasons..."
"First, I once received kindness from him when I was weak. Now that he is in trouble, I will naturally come to help. People must know how to be grateful."
"Second, I'm not doing this to help him. I just want those ghosts to have more choices, so that the underworld can become a paradise like the earth, especially those kind people who can be happy after death.
【Alive】.”
When Wang Baishun heard what he said, his eyes lit up and he said, "Then what are your plans?"
Xu Ping looked at his sincere expression, thought for a moment, and spoke out completely about his ambitions and what he wanted to do in the underworld, without reservation.
Wang Baishun immediately expressed his stance: "Okay! I'll do it with you."
…
Wang Baishun was born in Maoshan, and was taught during his lifetime that he was originally responsible for the common people. Now that he heard Xu Ping's words, the burning heart that had been extinguished suddenly started to burn again.
Xu Ping also had his own ideas. Although there was only one person on his side, among the thousands of paper figures in the bottomless pit, he was not a vegetarian.
Not to mention that now, with the Yin Ming Fruit, these paper figures are able to develop their own consciousness. Although it is only a very simple consciousness, in the process of executing orders, they are no less than those excellent soldiers.
And now, Wang Baishun is the best leader.
After dealing with this ghost centipede, Xu Ping has collected all the powerful ghosts currently being targeted in the underworld.
For their mobilization work, it fell on Wang Baishun.
Born in Maoshan, he lived in the underworld for many years.
No one is more qualified to do this job than him.
After bidding farewell to Wang Baishun, Xu Ping controlled his avatar and went to see Zhong Kui. During his acquaintance and conversation with Wang Baishun, he did not tell Zhong Kui. After all, what he was doing now would very likely weaken Zhong Kui's rights.
And he also learned a situation from Zhong Kui.
The cleanup work in the underworld will be completed within three days.
And he also brought a piece of information. In five days, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will launch the first wave of offensive against the underworld.
The targets are those ghost generals and squad leaders who lead the evil forces, especially the middle-level evil spirits like Black and White, who are the primary targets.
"Xiao Xu, your information is very important. If they succeed, then no matter how good our order is, the evil below will not be executed perfectly."
Zhong Kui patted Xu Ping on the shoulder. He could see that the person in front of him was just an avatar, but he did not expose it.
Xu Ping also frowned slightly: "But now we don't know whether the opponent will change his strategy, so Mr. Zhenjun, you still have to be more careful."
"snort!"
Zhong Kui sneered: "Within three days, I can turn the underworld into an iron barrel. Even if they don't come on the fourth day, I will launch a counterattack on Luoyou Mountain."
When Xu Ping heard this, he learned about Zhong Kui's arrangement, and said again: "Judge Lu from the Eighteenth Level of Hell, I heard that he has a relationship with you, so he needs to be careful."
Zhong Kui smiled contemptuously and said confidently: "Don't worry, he won't dare to come out."
Xu Ping nodded in agreement, but still planned to let the avatar stay there to avoid any accidents.
Zhong Kui briefly discussed it and then asked, "Lord Zhenjun, is there anything I need to do?"
Zhong Kui shook his head: "Now that the soil is in your hands, you must not make any mistakes. You'd better not wade into this muddy water. I can deal with it."
