Chapter 544: Ghost Town
"You mean to say ......",
Chen Zhi immediately understood what the leopard master meant, as well as his intention to order at the critical moment yesterday to leave Qin Yueyang's fingers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Do you want to follow the model of King Wu of Zhou and the pro-Difu at that time, and pretend to be Qin Yueyang as a pro-pro-witch, and a few of us will enter the Yingdu City together as envoys to send off relatives, right?"
"Yes!" , Leopard Ye glanced at Chen Zhi with gray eyes, and then said, "This woman pretending to be the princess of Chenghe must be a demigod, and there must be no physical disabilities, if this plan can be successful, we can enter Yingdu City smoothly without losing a single soldier and a general." ”
After Chen Zhi heard the words of the leopard master, he was silent for a while, "When I was arresting the indifferent monk who escaped from the underworld in Chongshan Town, I once heard him say that he said that the Hades King in Yingdu City has long been dead, and now the state of the underworld is a void, is it meaningful for us to still perform this scene of sending relatives?" ”
"Of course it makes sense......", Lord Leopard said seriously,
"Even if the god of death is dead, but his divine power in the underworld is still there, the ancient rules are still there, we staged this illusion of harmony, which can reduce a lot of danger for us, you can open this box and understand ......",
After the leopard master finished speaking, he took out a small bottle from his arms, which contained a few drops of black liquid. The leopard master poured these drops of liquid on the black box, only to see that the black wooden box immediately swelled, and the ghost text engraved on it also floated, and then the entire black box was pushed out from the inside, opening a hole.
In the black box is a short cane, the top of the cane is very ornately decorated, the crooked place of the cane is engraved with a silver bull's head, on which hang a string of pompoms made of gray hair, Chen Zhi has seen this kind of thing in the illustrations of ancient books, this thing is called "scepter", it is the ancient envoy to other countries to travel vouchers.
Since the Han Dynasty, China has sent envoys to the Xiongnu, at that time there was no communication underdeveloped, and there was no work card, the identity of the envoys relied on the scepter in their hands to prove, the scepter they held were all bamboo poles, decorated with yak tail hair. When they entered and exited the gates of other kingdoms, they could use the scepter as a sign of evidence, and even the army would make way for the scepter of the envoy when they saw it.
But the scepter in front of him is very different from the description in the history books, the rod of this scepter is pure silver, and the carved patterns on it are very delicate and mysterious, although the gray fluff on it looks gray, but when Chen Zhi saw this scepter, he immediately felt the ancient and powerful aura on this thing, and he knew that this thing must have a lot of origin.
Underneath the scepter, pressed a small scroll, all made of woven gold cloth, glittered in the box.
Chen Zhi took out the scroll, opened it slowly, and saw rows of very small characters written on it, which were very neat.
These texts record the names of some characters and their deeds, as well as the corresponding time, the first record is in the first year of the Zhou Dynasty, a woman named Zhenhao represented the royal family and relatives of the Zhou Dynasty. The text describes that this woman is the cousin of King Wu, a demigod born in the clan, with a very high status and peerless appearance, and was named a princess at the age of 16 and sent to the capital city, accompanied by a large number of slaves and dowry tributes, sent by a team of envoys, and the leader of the envoys is Jiang Shang Jiang Ziya.
The words described in the text are all words of praise, saying that after this princess and the pro-Difu, the country has been safe and healthy since then, and the four seas have been peaceful, but the description of her after marrying into Yingdu is not mentioned.
The next few rows of texts are also about these things, which mention that during the Zhou Dynasty, there were nine people who were sent to the city of Yingdu and the princess, and each time the envoys who sent the relatives returned safely.
The last paragraph on the scroll is extremely important, which records some specific events after Jiang Shang led the team for the first time and sent him to the underworld.
From these words, Chen Zhi knew that as early as 5,000 years ago, Jiang Shang had used a ghost boat made of ghost wood to send Princess Heqin into the city of Yingdu.
It is recorded in detail that the team of Waqin was divided into two, the first team was the envoy who escorted the princess, and the second team was the slave who transported the dowry tribute.
After entering the underworld, you must first put the boat into the water of the Lechuan River, and the envoy will stand at the bow of the boat with a scepter, and then ask the princess to get on the boat, and the boat will set sail naturally and float to the city of Yingdu.
During the whole process, the envoy must always stand on the bow of the boat with the scepter in his hand, if the scepter accidentally falls into the water, the Lethe River will immediately swallow the boat, and once humans enter the water of the Lethe River, there is no way to live.
When the princess arrives in Yingdu, the boat will automatically return to pick up a team full of dowries and tributes, and of course, the scepter will also return.
There is also an important reminder here, that is, within 12 hours after entering the Yingdu City, that is, within one day, the envoys who sent off their relatives must return to the world, and if they do not return within the time limit, they can never leave the Yingdu City.
All this information shows one thing, that is, there are two conditions for outsiders to enter the Yingdu City, one is the scepter, and the other is a female demigod.
"Let's not think too simple about entering the underworld this time", the leopard master suddenly said,
"The organization has been searching for spirit stones and divine tombs for thousands of years, and they know the danger in the divine tombs, and the underworld is by no means so easy to enter.
Like you said, we are indeed lucky enough so far, but we are not relying on luck to survive, you entered the underworld this time, the purpose is to take spirit stones instead of sending them to death, we must do our best to reduce resistance, after all, after the battle with the dark department, there are not many people left in the organization. You probably don't know yet, do you? In this sneak attack in the shadows, the two warriors with red belts who were left behind in the organization have all been killed in battle......".
"Well......", Chen Zhi's heart tightened when he heard this disappearance, he didn't expect that the damage to the tissue would reach such a point, if he hadn't taken Ji Ying out by himself, the ghost knife was injured and went to Changbai Mountain, maybe the warriors who died this time were the two of them.
Chen Zhi put the scroll in his hand back into the black box, and then took out the "Difu Scepter" and looked at it carefully,
"This is indeed a good way, if the plan goes well, we can cross the endless mountains outside the Yingdu City, and directly enter the Yingdu City, we have the Yellow Spring map of the Foolish Monk in our hands, we can use the map to find the Hades Mansion, and we should be able to rush back within 24 hours."
"But now the question is whether the woman is willing to cooperate......
The leopard master said silently, and raised the cup of hot blood-red tea and took a sip.
