Chapter 148: Heroic Past, Déjà vu?

After getting out of the prison, Tong Yan realized that this prison city was just a corner of this vain city. The area of the entire vain city is so large that it is estimated that it is about to catch up with the capital of the yang world.

But then I think about it, there are countless ghosts here, and if the city is small, it may not be able to fit it. Seeing that the buildings in the city are antique and neatly arranged, it can be seen that the managers of this vain city are really very set.

However, it seems too cruel to build such a prison city to imprison innocent ghosts, but what is the purpose of it, maybe you can only know it after meeting the mysterious lord.

The old man did not walk to the most prosperous neighborhood, but to the edge of the quiet and misty city.

It is strange to say that this dead city is obviously in the underworld, but there are clouds and mist in this underworld, which is really incredible.

In addition to not being able to see the lush vegetation, there are rivers, hills, clouds, everything, and it really has a bit of a fairyland. It seems that what the old black lady said is not all foolish.

Following the old man, Tong Yan asked a lot about the city of vain along the way. After all, it's not easy to come back and forth, and you always have to increase your knowledge.

This old man is quite interesting, and he almost always answers any questions.

He told Tong Yan that the city was originally built by King Jizo Bodhisattva, and that he was responsible for the unjust souls in the city. But later, because there were too many things about the King of Jizo Bodhisattva, he sent one of his Venerables to act as the ** and surpass all sentient beings.

But I don't know why, the Venerable actually transferred the management of the city of vain death to Xudu. So Xudu sent the sixth of the ten halls of Yama, the king of Bian Cheng, to take charge of the city of the dead. And from that time on, the city of vain death was no longer a paradise for unjust souls, but became the darkest place in the entire underworld.

Under the instruction of King Bian Cheng, the ghost soldiers began to manage the city of the dead. But they don't regard the unjust souls in this city as ghosts at all, as long as they see which one is not pleasing to the eye, they will cut off their tongues and hands and feet, and cut off their heads at the worst. It can be said that what punishment is in the eighteen layers of hell, there is nothing in this city of vain.

The people in the city dared not speak out, and gradually, the city of vain death became a purgatory that made the ghosts talk about tigers. As long as you enter the city of vain death, you will not be plucked out of a layer of skin, and you will not want to enter the reincarnation of the capital of Xudu.

And those ghosts who entered the capital because they drank Meng Po soup from Meng Po erased all the memories of being tortured before, so Xudu also turned a blind eye to the suffering of the city of vain.

There is a saying that where there is oppression, there is resistance. The ghosts in the city also organized several rebellions, but unfortunately all of them ended in failure. Moreover, the consequences of the defeat were even more tragic, and the ghost soldiers who ruled the city of vain intensified their torture of the people in the city.

And so on until the hero appeared. His advent not only overthrew the rule of Xudu, but also led a large army all the way to the city of Xudu. Although he died on the battlefield in the end, the city has been completely independent since then, and it has today's thriving scene.

Listening to the old man tell the history of the city in vain, Tong Yan's heart was in awe of that hero. Although in the eyes of Xudu, this hero is just a rebel and a rebel, but in the eyes of the people of the city in vain, he is a real hero, a leader.

It's a pity that the big hero has died on the battlefield, otherwise Tong Yan would have seen what he said today.

The two chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they had passed through a layer of mist, and at this moment, a majestic building came into Tong Yan's sight.

This should be a palace, but it can't be called a palace either, it's more like a tall building, and it's a sword-shaped tall building. This high-rise building is pitch black, and the top is very pointed, like the tip of a sword, which is very vivid.

At the bottom, there is a large gate, and on each side of the door is a beast that cannot be named. It's a bit like a dragon, but it doesn't have a dragon body, it's a bit like a unicorn, but it has six legs, what it is, Tong Yan doesn't know, it is estimated that it is something made up.

In front of the two colossal statues, stood two rows of guards dressed in full-body armor and armed with weapons. Their armor was the same color and style as the soldiers they had seen in the prison before.

At this moment, they stood up together in unison, very energetic and imposing.

It seems that the lord in the old man's mouth should be in this sword-shaped hall that looks like a building but not a building at this moment.

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the main hall in front of him, and said with a slight smile: "Hero, that is the main hall of our city of vain death, and now my lord is waiting for you inside!" ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan said with some embarrassment: "Uncle, you said that your father-in-law is waiting for me?" I don't know him, can he be so enthusiastic? ”

The old man smiled and said: "The hero is so good, even General Ma, one of our five brave generals, is not your opponent, and a character like you naturally everyone wants to get acquainted." Our lord knows and loves talents, and it is reasonable to have the heart to make friends with you! What do you say? ”

Tong Yan thinks that his eloquence is good, but compared to this old man, it is really a small thing. This old man is simply a three-inch incorruptible tongue, these words are not only powerless to refute, but also can praise you to the sky, what a capable person!

Tong Yan didn't say anything more, anyway, it's all here, and when he sees the so-called lord, he naturally understands everything.

When the guard at the door saw that the old man was bringing someone, he just glanced at it and did not stop him. The two pushed the door open and walked down a long hallway, soon entering the main hall.

And at this moment, an old man with red hair and red armor appeared in the main hall.

I don't know why, when Tong Yan saw this person, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

The old man was wearing a full-body armor, and Tong Yan was wearing a half-body armor at the moment, but what people didn't expect was that this half-body armor was extremely similar to the armor on the old man's body, except for the incompleteness, the lower body was almost identical.

Tong Yan has never believed in coincidences, so he guessed that the lord of the vain city was very likely to have something to do with the misfortune of ten thousand ghosts in his body. I can't figure out the source of this misfortune of ten thousand ghosts, it's this city of death!

Although the red-haired old man had a wrinkled face, he looked very energetic, his eyes were dark and bright, his waist was straight, and his face was full of fortitude.

As soon as he saw Tong Yan, he immediately greeted him with a smile, but he said unexpectedly: "Child, I finally looked forward to you, this time there will be no return for the army of the king of Bian Cheng!" The safety of the dead city is in vain, please leave it to you! ”

When Tong Yan heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Why is the armor on this red-haired general's body so similar to the armor on his own? What does he mean by that?
