Moon Emperor

Chapter 491 The True Immortal of the Upper Realm

Luofeng Mountain is located in Guidi in the north. This mountain has green mountains and green mountains, and wind and springs flow down from it. It has a circumference of 30,000 miles and a height of 2,600 miles.

There is a cave palace in the mountain, which is the capital of ghosts and gods. It is called [Fengdu]. The Great Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin, the Six Heavens of Luofeng, and the Ten Palaces of Yama are all there. It governs the eighteen levels of hell and is the place where sinful souls are punished.

Su Yan kept walking along Huangquan Road and finally arrived here.

Looking up from a distance, I saw a tall and majestic dark black city in front of me. The city head was not visible, only dark clouds covered the sky; the edges of the city walls were not visible on the left and right, only the ancient stone walls were winding.

There are twelve city gates under the city. On the gate facing Huangquan Road, there are three large blood-red characters "Ghost Gate".

Most of the dead souls who had drank Meng Po Soup were in a daze and were queuing up at the city gate to enter the city. There were even fewer undercover agents responsible for maintaining order.

Su Yan took this opportunity to kidnap a yawning horse-faced soldier. He still hoped to find out the situation before entering the city.

After some "cordial and friendly" communication, Ma Mian nodded tremblingly and began to answer Su Yan's question: "General Su Wenyuan, he is a famous figure in our underworld. Naturally, I have heard of him."

"This General Su is a newcomer who has only emerged in the past hundred years. He was vigorously promoted by His Royal Highness King Guang of Qin. I heard that he is also a famous general in the world of the world. He fought in the north and south, ended the split between the two dynasties, and established a illustrious War exploits.”

"Because he was awarded a high position as soon as he came up, the subordinates were not convinced at first. They thought that the rules in our underworld are different from those in the upper world. No matter how famous his surname is in the upper world, isn't he still a dead person now?"

"But later, General Su proved himself with his own strength. He led his troops into and out of the ghost realm three times, and captured countless ghosts. He also killed several troublesome Nine Nether Ghost Kings and injured a ghost emperor. For a time, all the ghosts in the wild were afraid of its power and retreated one after another."

"This is true externally, but also in the private contest between Yamas in the Ten Palaces, General Su is invincible."

"At that feast fifty years ago, the Wheel-turning King proposed the martial arts performance of the ten palaces and joked that he would determine the number one [brave general] among the ten palaces."

"We don't know whether the speaker meant it or not, but the listener definitely meant it. After the final showdown with swords and spears, a corner of Fengdu City was completely destroyed. None of the other generals of the Nine Palaces were Su Wenyuan's rival. .”

"Since then, General Su has been known as the bravest in our underworld."

"After making great achievements, he also married Prince Jiang's only daughter and served as a judge in the [Department of Punishment of Evil]. He suddenly became a hotshot figure in the underworld."

"I heard that over the years, many other princes wanted to win over General Su, but General Su was grateful for Prince Jiang's promotion, and he couldn't leave behind his wife, children and family, so he declined them all."

Su Yan sighed when he heard this, what does it mean to "be a hero in life and a hero in death"? That's it.

Today, among the people of Da Chu, Su Wenyuan's heroic deeds of leading troops like a god are still being circulated. Unexpectedly, after his death, he went to the underworld and his reputation was just as famous.

As for Prince Jiang, Su Yan understands who he is. Prince Qin Guang is just a position, and he also has a name, Jiang Xin.

The King of Chu Jiang in the second palace seems to be named Li Wen, and the other palaces all have names, which are written in these Taoist books. Unless some positions have been changed over the years, the names may not match up.

Since Su Wenyuan married the daughter of King Qin Guang, Su Yan boldly guessed that Miss Jiang should be his grandmother.

In the past, due to the disappearance of the fairy world, the underworld lost the jurisdiction of the superiors, and various management aspects were relaxed a lot. Miss Jiang secretly reincarnated and traveled to the human world through unknown means.

As a result, the young Miss Jiang met the world-famous general at that time. The two fell in love and fell in love, but it was difficult to break up. In the end, they got married and had a baby.

Miss Jiang's time in the world was limited, and she died early after giving birth to her baby. Only after Su Wenyuan died and went to the underworld did the two of them reunite.

I think King Qin Guang didn't necessarily like this boy at first, but he couldn't resist his daughter's persuasion, so he started to vigorously promote him.

Fortunately, Su Wenyuan also managed to live up to his expectations. He quickly adapted to the post-mortem environment and once again swept across the world with his famous "Extreme Battle Technique". Only then did they get married once again and get the beauty back.

According to this calculation, Su Yan's poor father who was killed by the uncle of the Great Chu Emperor should have been reunited with his parents after his death, as well as his mother who died in depression.

I just don’t know if these two have been reincarnated, or if they also have a position in the underworld?

Thinking of this, Su Yan continued to ask: "Does General Su have a son or daughter-in-law?"

Ma Mian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, there is a son who is now one of the six meritorious officials. This one started from the bottom as a swordsman and pen official, without relying on his father's shadow."

Su Yan thought for a moment, "I want to see General Su. What do you think is the best way? Go up to Su Mansion and call the door?"

"This." Ma Mian hesitated for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "May I ask, sir, what is your identity?"

Since Su Yan no longer collected his own breath into the hexagram plate after breaking through to the seventh realm, in Ma Mian's perception, this person had both a strong aura of a stranger and an ethereal air of immortality. If you feel it carefully, you can vaguely detect a strong sense of oppression.

Therefore, Ma Mian boldly guessed that this person was not an ordinary person. He believed that he was an immortal from the upper world.

Su Yan smiled and said, "I said that I am a true immortal from the upper realm sent by heaven to patrol the underworld. Do you believe it or not?"

Ma Mian nodded repeatedly, as if "I believe it", but his expression was a little confused, "Logically speaking, Imperial Envoy Immortal, you should ask me whether the Yamas in each palace have neglected their duties or been corrupt and perverted the law over the years. Why do you ask about the Su family?"

"Because I am a reincarnated immortal, I did not directly descend to the world in my immortal body. It just so happens that I was reincarnated as a descendant of the Su family in this life. Since I came down to the underworld to inspect, I naturally wanted to inquire about my family's situation first."

"I believe that there is such a relationship, and they will give me a good introduction to the people who have done bad things in the underworld after it has lost the jurisdiction of the heavens in recent years; and whether there are any situations where Yama in each palace does not abide by heaven's rules and indulges in pleasure; What’s more, do you have the idea of ​​standing on your own mountain and completely breaking away from the control of heaven?”

"This is much more useful than me asking around. Oh, by the way, this is a big secret. You must not let it out." Su Yan warned with a smile on his face and not looking serious.

Ma Mian immediately covered his mouth and nodded seriously, for fear that Su Yan would kill him and silence him.

"Okay, back to the topic, where is the Su Mansion in the city?"

Ma Mian immediately told him in detail. Even at this point, he made it clear where the Su family father and son should work.

Su Yan patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and with a flash of his face, he found that he was back to his original position. Moreover, the colleagues around him didn't seem to notice that he had been missing for a while. He took the initiative to ask questions, and even responded with "Are you sick?"

This made Ma Mian even more confused. Could it be that everything that happened just now was just a daydream?

The guards at the Ghost Gate were not very tight, or they were not guarding against living people. When Su Yan went in invisible, he did not trigger the ghost mirror hanging on the top of the city, so it went very smoothly.

The city is quite lively. In addition to the team of dead souls who are being escorted here, the pedestrians, hawkers, cart drivers, and servants passing by here are all ghosts. There are even many strange ghosts such as Yaksha, demons, day and night wandering gods, black and white impermanence, etc. Ghosts.

Other than that, the rest looks similar to Yangshi City. There are still people selling goods, tea shops, restaurants, booksellers, and even a brothel called [Ecstasy Cave].

Naturally, Su Yan had no intention of trying to find out what kind of services a brothel in the underworld provided and what kind of beauties were on the top list, so he headed straight to the north of the city.

Not long after, Su Yan arrived at the gate of Su Mansion in the underworld. This place looked exactly like the Su Mansion in the underworld.

Su Yan did not go in immediately, but hesitated for a moment. The so-called "fear of being close to home" was probably this kind of feeling.

Also, Su Yan was really embarrassed to face those "family members" he had never met before.

Forget it, just think of it as going to see the old lady.

The concierge of the Su Mansion was an old man with a pale face and a dull face, and there were patches of corpse on his face.

Su Yan told him that he wanted to see the old lady, but the old man shook his head, with no emotion in his cloudy eyes, "There is no old lady in the house."

Su Yan was stunned and then realized, "I'm looking for Chen Fang. In the past, she worked as a maid next to General Su, and also joined the army with him."

The old man rolled his eyes and his expression changed slightly, "Who are you?"

Su Yan smiled and said, "I am her grandson, come to see her."

The old man's eyes were a little strange, and then he said: "Wait a moment."

He turned around and was about to go in to report when Su Yan suddenly remembered something, "Uncle, do you know Zhong Yan? I usually call him Uncle Yan."

The reason for asking this question was mainly because Su Yan felt that there was some similarity between the two people. Even their walking posture was straight, as if they had been soldiers.

The old man was shaken, turned around again, and looked at Su Yan with a surprised expression, "I, he, we are brothers in the army. You, you are the grandson of the old general?!"

He seemed to come to life all of a sudden, his expression instantly became lively, and he quickly came forward to hold Su Yan's hand; but his joy could not last for a moment, and then dimmed again, "You, you come down too. Yeah, you’re so young, you haven’t given birth to a baby yet, right?”

Su Yan was a little funny, "No, just take me in."

The old man nodded repeatedly, took his hand and walked inside, asking questions from time to time, as if he were treating a kind junior.

When Su entered the house, a chaos occurred at the Midnight Gate on the other side of Fengdu City.

There are few people coming and going at this gate, and there are not many guards. Zhao Yan'er, who calls himself "Grand Marshal of Fengdu Soldiers and Horses", snatches a Cang Yan ghost horse and leads a group of demons and ghosts liberated from the dark prison to break out of the city. The door leads straight into the ghost realm, and you walk away feeling indescribably high-spirited~

On the other side, after escorting this group of dead souls into the city, they handed them over to the Yamen.

But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was not dreaming before, so when he went to drink wine with a few colleagues, he casually mentioned this matter.

As a result, his colleagues all slapped the table and laughed, making Ma Mian very embarrassed. He repeatedly insisted that he had really seen the immortals who came to inspect the underworld, and vividly described various details.

Unexpectedly, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Soon, the madam in the ecstasy received the news from the girls below.

This madam is not an ordinary person. She is the King of Pingping of the Nine Palaces and a person under Prince Lu. She has contact with many middle and high-level people in the underworld and has quite a lot of knowledge.

When she saw this information, she immediately took it very seriously, because before the fairy world completely lost contact, the heaven would really send real immortals from the upper world down to inspect the underworld.

The main job is to listen to each of the ten kings of hell describe their duties; and then randomly check and read through the case files accumulated over the years to see if there are any errors, omissions, or miscarriages of justice.

To be more strict, they will also count the number of dead souls in the underworld and randomly check the number of guilty souls serving their sentences in various hells. If one of them does not match, then this matter will be a big or small matter.

Therefore, the princes of hell in all the halls are extremely nervous whenever the immortals patrol the lower realms. They treat the immortal envoys properly and respectfully, for fear of being stripped off their hats or even being punished in prison.

What makes them most uncomfortable is that the inspection time is not fixed. It can happen once a hundred years; it can happen once every 150 years;

In other words, if the time is fixed, the Lords of Hell will make superficial efforts in advance every time they inspect, which is not conducive to reflecting the true situation in the underworld.

Now, about 1,200 years have passed since the fairy world disappeared. In the previous few hundred years, the kings of hell in various palaces did not dare to relax, but after it was confirmed that something really happened in the heaven, they began to "act wildly".

Of course, this may be an exaggeration. They still dare not mess with some principled issues, especially those related to the Six Paths of Reincarnation; after all, the ten palaces are involved in and supervise each other, and it is never anyone's responsibility.

As for issues that don't involve principles, let's not talk about anyone else. Except for a few princes who are wise enough to protect themselves, everyone else has a "criminal record." It's nothing more than major and minor issues, and they don't stand up to investigation very well.

Some of the sources of information in the hands of the madam were related to the human world. She knew that in recent years, a banished immortal seemed to have appeared in the human world. He also seemed to have the surname Su. Could it be this one? ?

Thinking of this, she became more and more nervous, and hurriedly summoned a nine-headed ghost car bird, rolled up the note, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, let it swallow it, and flew straight to Prince Lu.

I also know that the foundation of this King of Pingping is also not clean, so he must be informed of this matter in time.

Immediately afterwards, the madam secretly ordered her personal maid to go somewhere to inform someone.

Yes, the proprietress of the Ecstasy Cave is a double-dealer, working two jobs at the same time, so King Bian Cheng of the Sixth Palace has to know about this matter.

There was a Ma Mian who couldn't control his own words, plus a brothel proprietress who was loyal to her duties, so the story of the real immortal from the upper world coming down to inspect the underworld quickly spread like wildfire.
