Chapter 25: Netherworld civil unrest
Xie Xie's sudden behavior stunned everyone present.
Of course I am no exception.
Besides his great tribute, what surprised me even more was the two names he called me from his mouth.
The leader of Guanshan?
Since I started this thrilling journey of exploration, I have met all those who know the existence of Guanshan, regardless of men, women, young and old, and whatever their identity, who have received extraordinary courtesy to Chunting. One is because his Taoism and magical powers are unfathomable, and the other is because his identity as the leader of Guanshan, no one dares to disrespect him.
Although I have never seen other people in Guanshan except him, I think this force can be passed down for thousands of years, and it must not be an existence that ordinary people can reach. Chunting and Ling Xuan in front of me are the best examples.
But after Xie Xie arrived, he had never communicated with Chunting. He simply mocked Fan Nan on the other side, then confirmed my identity and Guigu Ling in my hand, and then knelt on one knee to call me the leader?
Chunting did tell me before that he was just the name of Guanshan, and when the real leader appeared, he naturally retired. I had many ideas about this at that time, but it was not until the underground imperial tomb that I dripped blood from the mountains and seas that Chunting and Yihe told me that the position of the leader that had been hanging for a long time was actually reserved for me.
Regardless of whether this strange statement is true or false, the people around me explored the underground imperial tombs with me, and finally escaped from the imperial tombs is even more life-and-death. When Chunting and Yihe talked about these things to me, they were right beside me. Although the statement was strange and inexplicable, at least they had the opportunity to hear these secrets.
But the man named Xie Xie in front of us is the first time we met us. How could he be different from others? He did not treat the spring pavilion as a good person, but he gave me such a great gift?
unless……
Unless my identity is not true or false, it is Yihe who informs him, in other words, he must have been Yihe who came here this time.
But even if I am the leader and I am the one who is Yi He told him, what's going on with the Lord of the Netherworld?
The first time we came into contact with Youming was in Lingyun Pavilion. Qin Guang and Pingling tried to steal the ancient paintings late at night, but were finally shocked by the Chunting Pavilion that came. Later, Ling Xuan took us to Shangshanxuan to see Jinghong. After some investigation, Jinghong learned about Youming for the first time from his friend.
The second contact was in Zhu Yuanzhang's underground imperial tomb. Yihe led Luo Feng Liutian to snatch the statue of Xie Zhi, but after I dripped blood, my attitude changed greatly. Not only did I give up snatching, but I also insisted on saying what kind of reincarnation of Guigu, I was humble and respectful all the way, and I was no longer as nervous as I saw it when I first met, which made me very uncomfortable.
Including today, this is only the third time to come into contact. What’s even more strange is that two groups of people came one after another. Although they both came from the Netherworld, the attitudes of the two groups were completely different.
The first batch was Fan Nan, who represented Black Impermanence in the Netherworld. He first blocked the road with a roadblock, and then took my life at the opening.
The second batch is Xie Xie, who represents Bai Wuchang in the Netherworld. However, he did not have any intention of me when he looked at him. He seemed to be just to protect me. After confirming my identity, he actually knelt on one knee and called me the Lord of the Netherworld.
What are these things!
My brain was in chaos. It was because all this changed too quickly, making people confused about the clues.
Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Qi Zhi secretly pulled my hand and signaled Xie Xie in front of me with her eyes. Since she had not received my response, she still honestly knelt in front of me on one knee.
Seeing this, I quickly pulled Xie Xie up, not knowing what to say.
"Please get up quickly. I was surprised when I heard what you said. I forgot to help you up. I'm sorry."
Xie Xie didn't care, so he stood up and stood in front of me, looking at Fan Nan opposite him, with a bad tone.
"Old Eighth, I know all about you and me over the years. Are you really ready to commit crimes and start your own business?"
Fan Nan on the opposite side seemed to feel guilty. Even if Xie Xie said this, he did not refute it. He just looked at us with a gloomy look, but did not intend to speak.
"etc."
"What you said just now? Isn't Fan Nan's intention to take Han Chuan's life this time meant Yihe? What do you mean by Fan Nan's rebellion?"
When Xue Nan heard this, she couldn't help but ask.
I was stunned when I heard what I said. In this way, the underworld did not seem as united as I imagined. There was a surging undercurrent, and it seemed that the pool of water was a little deep.
When Xie Xie heard Xue Nan’s question, he looked back at me and said with amusement and tears.
"How could the Lord do anything to you? I'm ashamed to say that this Netherworld... is in turmoil."
There is a civil turmoil in the underworld?
Xie Xie signaled his men in white to keep a close eye on the opposite side, and then sat helplessly on the ground. Before we could imagine the bloody plot, Xie Xie explained to us what happened in the Netherworld over the past few days.
"Sir, can you remember that after you escaped from Zhu Yuanzhang's underground imperial tomb with the Lord, the Lord did not say hello to you and left on his own?"
I nodded, and remembered the experience that day, it was true.
That day, we went through a lot of hardships from the underground imperial tomb. In the end, Yi and Shen Lang fought with their lives before they could escape from the heavens. On the second day, Yi He and his subordinate Luo Feng Liutian left directly on the excuse that something happened in the underworld.
After he left, Chunting explained to us the fateful entanglement of Guigu Hezong Lianheng for thousands of years, allowing us to understand why Yihe did this. Since it involves several generations of grievances, we naturally have no reason to ask too much.
"The Lord left because Lord Chunting. Although he did not say it explicitly, I believe Lord Chunting also had some guesses. The matter started after the Lord left. The Lord returned to the Netherworld this time and found that his statement as an excuse became a precept. There was really a problem inside the Netherworld."
Xie Xie saw that I had some impression of that day and continued to talk.
"The Lord's humility towards you is not a disguise, but a kind of respect that comes from the bloodline. After he returned to the Netherworld, he talked about your identity as the reincarnation of Guigu. At the same time, since the two Guigu orders have been combined into one by you, the Lord no longer has Guigu orders in his hand, so he issued an order in the Netherworld. From that day on, you will be the new Lord of the Netherworld!"
"The larger the organization, the harder it is to control. Although there has not been any abnormal movement in the years, as the news from the Lord spread out, everyone who heard it was inevitably unwilling to think in their hearts. At this moment, a force that had already penetrated into the Nether began to secretly contact those who were unwilling to do so, trying to overthrow the Lord and become king."
Seeing that the current situation was not as critical as before, Qi Zhi asked curiously, holding Wushuang.
"You mean someone has already penetrated into the Netherworld?"
Xie Xie smiled helplessly and nodded to admit it.
"Yes, it was only after this that the Lord discovered that the Netherworld had already been full of holes, and there were people who were bribed by this force in various departments. After investigation, the Lord found that this was not achieved overnight, but was formed over time. Perhaps not long after the Netherworld was established, this mysterious force began to make a secret arrangement."
Seeing Xie Xie's expression sincere, Shen Lang let go of his fist that he had clenched when he saw that the situation was not good, walked to him and asked seriously.
"Even if the Netherworld is in chaos, then you can't bite each other inside. What does this have to do with my brother?"
Although Shen Lang's tone was not good, Xie Xie knew that he was in the wrong and did not refute it. He looked at me and spoke seriously and told me about the connection between this inner civil strife and me.
"It was indeed a dispute between one's family and had nothing to do with the adults, but for some reason, the forces lurking in the underworld secretly made all the people in the underworld hear a message through various means."
