"That's right, this is the entrance to the Huangquan." After Ying Zhao returned, he said to the craftsmen around him.
Echoes, accompanied by the howling wind pouring in from the deep pit, echoed quietly at the bottom of the deep pit.
The ghosts who were originally holding their breath and concentrating their minds suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of joy also emerged from their faces with sweat beads.
"General, then don't you need to continue digging?" An old craftsman, who had been a little older, picked up the towel around his neck, wiped the sweat beads on his face, and then walked to Yingzhao who stood up.
He slowly asked beside him: "Is this really the entrance to the underworld?"
After saying that, the old craftsman turned his gaze to the ground aside and stared at the bluestone slab.
Before, they could not dig the stone slabs and could not even lift them up. Moreover, there were many strange patterns on the stone slabs, simple and vigorous, and with many years of vicissitudes, it seemed that they were really the entrance to the underworld.
But the old craftsman still hopes that Yingzhao will confirm it in person.
"Of course yes, master. Most of the ancient books were taken away by the old ghosts of Fengdu, so most of the ghosts today don't know. This Huangquan is also called the Nine Prisons, which is the same as the Eighteen Hells today. They are all
The one used to deal with and imprison the perpetrator." Ying Zhao stomped his horse's hooves, smiled and said to the curious old craftsman, and then said untiringly: "The entrances are the Jiukou Ghost Springs; the Fengquan Yaquan Huangquan
The cold springs, the bitter springs under the Yin springs, and the deep springs. There are no more or less, just nine mouths."
Yingzhao is worthy of being a gatekeeper for the ancient gods. He has lived for thousands of years. Although he is not as knowledgeable as jade in the painting, he also knows a lot.
Speaking of the past, it was a very good person. If he hadn't been a little more fierce and shaking his head, he would have been like the old scholars in the palace.
After a pause, he took the opportunity to take a sip of the water from the cowhide water bag handed by the old craftsman, and smashed it, and said, "The sign of each sip of ghost spring is different. The entrance of this sip is engraved.
The dead trees were covered with floating corpses, just in line with the nine springs, which mainly captures the lower spring sign of the ancient corpse land. Dead but not stiff, but only with a body but without souls, were thrown into it.
After such a ghost, the ancient gods finally created a creature like Corpse Soul, so there were members of the Shebizi and their clan.”
After Yingzhao said this, the old craftsman believed in the matter under the stone slab and the underworld.
Of course, the old craftsman also had a new understanding of the ancient gods; but the old craftsman was interested in construction and other things. This is how he heard this historical story, and he would take it all as a story, and soon he would not take it seriously.
.At present, he only admired Yingzhao a little more and asked Yingzhao: "General, what else do we need to do next?"
"Consolidate this underground cave." Yingzhao heard this, pondered for a moment and looked around at the surrounding earthen jade, and said thoughtfully to the old craftsman: "Let me think of another way to build a staircase and extend it from the pit entrance to save the future
They all use a boom to go up and down.”
As he said this, Yingzhao walked to the side of the sling that was put down on the sling arm again.
"Remember, everything here must be kept confidential and cannot be mentioned to outsiders and relatives." Yingzhao, who stepped on the sling on the sling, reminded the old craftsman: "I just say that you are just preparing for war and building defenses.
Fortifications.”.
After saying that, Yingzhao shook the bell hanging on the sling with the response of the old craftsman.
The jingling sound echoed slowly and rose to the ground. The soldiers above immediately turned the pulley on the crane arm when they heard the ringtone. The sling also carried the heroic moves and slowly left the dim underground and headed towards the top.
Going out in a sunny place.
The strong wind gushed in the silent Yingzhao's ears, whistling repeatedly.
He fell into deep thought as he heard the wind. He didn't know what he was thinking about, his brows frowned, and his expression became a little nervous.
For some reason, he was only happy for a moment when he dug the entrance to the Yellow Springs, but replaced it with endless tension. Yingzhao was restless and his pores were all open.
He didn't know the ghost on Shuoyue Island, but he knew it clearly. He dug up the entrance to the Huangquan, and Xiao Shizhu was about to arrive. Then he resolutely entered the Huangquan, looking for hope and rescue.
If the Northern Yin Dynasty knew about this, the Emperor of Fengdu, who was as powerful as water and fire, would definitely not let this opportunity go. The safety of the ghost Xiao Shizhu fell on Yingzhao's shoulders again, making him afraid to have it.
While he was negligent, his nerves became tense all over his body.
The light of Yin Sun became brighter and brighter on his head, and the sling rose to the outside of the pit, and the tension on Yingzhao's face suddenly closed.
After getting off the sling, he saw the deputy general and a few local guards coming towards him. Ying Zhao, who was already full of solemn faces, kept walking towards them.
"Be prepared for war immediately, and immediately strengthen the coastal defense. Go around the island, send more guard posts on the top of the stone forests on the sea, and send them more cloud-piercing cannons and star-falling cannons. The number of local military weapons manufacturing is insufficient, so
Mobilize to Fengmu County." Yingzhao walked to the men and took them out of the backyard with the guards, and ordered anxiously: "From now on, all the people on the island will be soldiers.
The armory began to distribute weapons, muskets and sub-guns to young and strong male ghosts. The young and female ghosts began to go to ghost clinics in various places to help prepare antidotes. Each city and pass will immediately increase its vigilance. Passes must also be strictly reviewed.
When the ghosts landed on the island, they found a suspicious person to be imprisoned."
In an instant, the air around him became solemn as his voice became as heavy as Ying Zhao stepped on. The rich sense of tension also made him feel a little nervous.
Although Yingzhao's men became nervous for no reason, they were stunned and confused when they heard it.
The surroundings of Shuoyue Island are calm. Under the diligent governance of Yingzhao, soldiers do not offend the people and do not provoke soldiers. All walks of life are booming. There are neither pirates nor invincible ships on the sea. Why did Yingzhao suddenly issue an emergency preparation order?
?This made Yingzhao's subordinates puzzled.
Looking at the posture, it seemed as if Yingzhao knew that there would be a large army to face the enemy. Although the men were confused for a moment, they soon put aside their suspicion and kept what Yingzhao said in mind.
"In addition, we started to store grain and medicine, and took out the treasury coins, so that the Maritime Bureau on Shuoyue Island would rush to purchase grain and herbs. From now on, the mermaids would take this island as the center and think about three hundred miles in a row around them.
The sea area is intensively patrolling. If you find the enemy situation, you must repay it immediately." Yingzhao walked out of the backyard and sat down in the front yard. He continued to say to the ghost officials and generals who followed him: "Soldiers"
The horse training must not be relaxed at all, and the navy warships must also enter a state of combat readiness."
"Class A combat readiness state." After a pause, Yingzhao looked directly at the ghost officials and generals standing in front of him, and added.
"No." After seeing him finish speaking, the ghost officials stopped saying anything, so they bowed and bowed and answered solemnly...
Five elite teams of Xuandi Army air cavalry escorted Gong Mingyi from Fengdu. In just twelve days, they arrived in front of Baodu Pass, the southernmost part of Liutianzhou.
After Gong Mingyi fell in front of the pass, the air cavalry drove forward without stopping the beast, and followed Gong Mingyi into the pass.
The strong wind brought about by the beast souls roared beside them; the beast's hooves roared, and a turbid dust rose behind them, leaving many deep hoof marks on the road in front of the pass.
Gong Mingyi, who was exhausted, rushed to the front of the prefect's yamen in the pass. After turning over and falling from the beast's soul, he immediately raised his legs and walked up the high stone steps in front of the yamen lobby.
When he came to the door, he shouted anxiously to the sergeant guarding the door who was kneeling down on one knee to salute him, "I will gather the generals when I have something to say."
Before he could finish his words, his legs had already crossed the high vermilion threshold and stepped into a gloomy lobby.
Gong Mingyi sat down deep in the lobby, behind the tall and handsome desk, and sat down on the tall chair carved with glutinous bars. He dusted off the cuffs and front collar of the official robe. When the little dust stained on the hem was stained, the army outside the gate was
The drums roared.
"Dongdongdongdongdong", the rhythmic and dull drum sounded melodiously, echoing around the lobby. It was like a wave of muffled thunder, resounding throughout the world.
The Xuandi Army who were escorting him also turned over and fell into the beast soul. After following him into the lobby, they lined up in two rows in front of him and stood facing each other.
After sixty times of drums, a large number of ghost generals and a few ghost officials rushed over and stood in the lobby behind Gong Mingyi. Then they all held their fists and bowed to Gong Mingyi and walked towards Gong Mingyi.
With a bow, he shouted in unison: "I have met the prefect."
This greeting, whether it is true or false, made Gong Mingyi feel comfortable. The fatigue accumulated from the long journey in his body was wiped out in this moment.
The bearded ghost general in the lead straightened his back after Gong Mingyi said a word of waives, and spoke first to Gong Mingyi, and asked thoughtfully: "Sir, have you come back from Fengdu? Why don't you rest when you arrive?
, I hurriedly called us to discuss matters. Could it be that Your Majesty has any order?"
Gong Mingyi, with a solemn face, looked directly at the bearded ghost general, and the sharp chill in his eyes suddenly appeared. The bearded ghost general just looked at him, and a chill and fear suddenly rose in his chest for no reason, making him whole body
A sudden tremor.
Since Gong Mingyi took over Baodu Pass, his temperament suddenly changed drastically. He was moody and often inexplicably angry at the ghost officials and generals in the passes who used to laugh with him and were easy to get along with.
After he was inexplicably beheaded several ghost generals, the ghost officials and ghost generals were a little afraid of him. The soul looked very literary, very thin and had an arm, but he was very cruel and ruthless.
Most of the ghost officials and generals in the Northern Yin Dynasty entered the court just to get promoted and make money. Most of the ghost officials and generals in Baodu Guanzhong were no exception.
Therefore, these ghost generals and officials all took the attitude of seeking wealth with peace as the most important thing. They gave in to Gong Mingyi, who had a great change in personality, and flattered him. They just wanted to do a good job in the smooth and smooth manner, and waited for some money.
Just a chance to reincarnate.
The bearded man hurriedly shut up and did not dare to say anything more, for fear that he would suffer a disaster from the sky if he talked too much. Gong Mingyi, who was moody in front of him, dragged him out and killed the ghost head.
The other ghost officials and generals also saw Gong Mingyi's cold eyes flashing. He did not dare to say more and lower his head slightly, trying to avoid his cunning gaze.
Gong Mingyi enjoyed the pleasure brought by this situation. He immediately put away the solemn expression on his face and said slowly: "Yes, Your Majesty wants us to start preparing for the war." (To be continued)
