Chapter 1009 Entering the City
The old man screamed, and this time his whole body turned into a ball of ghost energy, running around in the hall, but he couldn't escape. Pu Yanlan gave him a look, and the man in red reached out and grabbed the ball of ghost energy.

"Master, why don't you give this ghost energy to me? I will give it to the little ghosts below so that they can also be nourished!"

Pu Yanlan nodded upon hearing this.

"it is good!"

"Mercy! Mercy! I beg you two seniors to spare me. I will tell you everything!"

The ghost begged for mercy, but Gu Shiyi kept sneering.

"You are so shameless. You think I am just playing with you. Now even if you tell me, I don't want to listen!"

After saying this, he pretended to hit her again, and the ghost shouted loudly,
"I, I am an old acquaintance of Mr. Yang Shang. He told me all these things. I am afraid that if I tell you, the two seniors will misunderstand that I am in cahoots with him, which will be disadvantageous to me. That is why I dare not speak out directly!"

Gu Shiyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Pu Yanlan. Pu Yanlan thought about it and nodded slightly. Gu Shiyi snorted coldly and said,

"Humph! Let's just believe you for now..."

After a pause, he said again,
"We are going to the underworld...you lead the way!"

"This……"

The ghost hesitated. Gu Shiyi raised the corner of his mouth and looked at it with a smile. The ghost said hurriedly,

"You two...what do you want to do in the underworld?"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"Don't worry, we are going to the underworld in another world to meet an old friend. If you are willing to help, we will not treat you unfairly!"

The ghost murmured in his heart,
"From the way she sounded, I'm afraid she's going to look for trouble over there..."

However, if you are looking for misfortune over there and not in this world, what does it have to do with me?
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!
So he answered out loud,
"If the two seniors want to go, then I will lead the way!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and nodded.
"Very good. Only by knowing the times can one be a good ghost!"

Pu Yanlan remained silent, slowly stretched out a hand, and probed into the ball of ghost energy. After a moment, she withdrew her hand. The ball of ghost energy churned and turned into the appearance of the old man again. However, the old man could not even straighten his waist in front of the two of them. He bent down and praised repeatedly.
"The senior's ghost arts are already superb. If he were to enter our underworld, he would be in charge of a hall..."

The red-clothed man said coldly,

"Our master has great magical powers. He will surely ascend to the upper realm in the future. How can he regard the small underworld in his eyes!"

“Ah… yes, yes…”

The old man nodded repeatedly.
"Your Excellency is right. When you ascend to heaven in the future, you will definitely be among the immortals. Naturally, you cannot let down the people in the underworld..."

Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows when she heard this and said calmly,
"The Lords of the Underworld are in charge of the reincarnation of a world. How can I compare with them? You don't have to be afraid of us. We just want to visit old friends. As long as you don't force yourself to get involved, what Yang Shangong did has nothing to do with you. As long as you are willing to take us down and send us to the underworld of another world, I will definitely thank you!"

After saying that, he flipped his hand, and a black pill as big as a longan appeared in his palm. Black gas was lingering above the pill. If a mortal ate it, he would immediately turn into a walking corpse. But if it was given to a ghost, it would be of great benefit to the realm improvement. The old man's eyes widened when he saw this.

"This... this pill can really be rewarded to this junior?"

Pu Yanlan nodded lightly.
"I always keep my word!"

If Gu Shiyi said this, the old man might have murmured in his heart, but when Pu Yanlan, who was taciturn, spoke, he believed it, so he said happily,
"In that case... please follow me, seniors!"

Then he turned around and walked towards the back of the hall. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other and followed them. The man in red holding the little ghost also followed them in...

As the group entered the hall, the scene in the hall changed. It immediately went from empty to crowded with people and the smell of incense. Everything seemed as if nothing had happened...

It is said that the old man led the two men to the back of the hall, and when they walked out of the gate, they saw a patio with a well in it. When the old man arrived in front of the well, he stretched out his hand and gently touched the mouth of the well. Ghostly aura immediately emerged from the mouth of the well, and there was a faint glow below.
"Two seniors, this is the entrance!"

After saying that, the old man dodged into the well. Gu Shiyi glanced at Pu Yanlan, and then he went down second, followed by Pu Yanlan, and finally Hongyi. After entering the well, it was indeed another world. These two had been in and out of the underworld many times, and seeing this gloomy and ghostly environment, they actually felt familiar in their hearts. Gu Shiyi looked around and asked the old man,
"What is this place?"

The old man replied,
"This is the wilderness outside the Ghost Gate. The road you two seniors are walking on leads directly to the gate..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed forward. On the far horizon, he could only vaguely see a small black dot. It seemed that was the gate of hell. Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows.
"We're going in?"

If they enter the customs, they will alert the ghost guards. They are not afraid, but they just don’t want to make too much noise, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with things later!

The old man thought for a while and said,
"No need for that. I know of a path that leads directly to where you two seniors want to go..."

It is said that the underworld is originally connected, with many passages connecting each other. It is only because each world has jurisdiction over each other that the areas are divided. However, all the old ghosts who have stayed in the underworld for a long time know some secret paths to and from the underworld! The old man led them away from the main road and turned into the wilderness. However, after walking for only half an incense stick of time, they saw a mud pond.
"This is it!"

The old man pointed at the mud pond, and saw a white light flashing in the center. It was the light of the sealing magic circle. It seemed that he was not lying. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other, and Pu Yanlan flicked the pill in her hand. The old man reached out to catch it, took a closer look, and couldn't stop smiling.

"This is truly a top-quality elixir. With this elixir, I have gained two hundred years of cultivation. Junior... Junior thanks you so much, Senior!"

After saying that, he bowed and patted his shoulder with a smile.

"You are Welcome!"

With just this one blow, the old man felt his body shorten. He looked down and saw that his calves were completely buried in the soft soil beneath his feet.

“Ah…Senior…”

Before he could finish his words, Gu Shiyi's second palm came down again. This time, even his thigh sank into it. His head hurt again. Another palm came down, and this time it went straight into his chest. The old man saw Gu Shiyi's fourth palm coming down and screamed in fear.

"Senior, I have told you everything I know. Why did you still want to kill him?"

Gu Shiyi smiled and slapped him into the ground, leaving only his head outside.

"Don't worry, we won't kill you. We're just afraid that you might leak the news, so we'll let you stay here for a while..."

After saying that, he stamped his feet, and the soil under his feet suddenly became extremely hard, trapping the old man in it. Pu Yanlan pointed again, and the old man's eyes immediately became straight, and he knew nothing. After the two of them finished, they turned their heads to look at the red-clothed man beside them, but saw that the red-clothed man had already knocked the little ghost in his hand unconscious and threw it to the ground beside him.

"Master, I have sealed its ghost veins. It will not wake up within three days..."

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"Okay, let's go!"

The three of them entered the mud pond, and the scene in front of them changed. They were standing on a high mountain. The mountain was bare everywhere, with sharp rocks as sharp as knives. There was a white area among the rocks. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be all broken bones, with many bite marks on them.
"here it is……"

Gu Shiyi looked around and didn't see any ghosts, but she saw countless black shadows moving in the distance, the size of dogs, with two glowing red eyes, approaching them step by step. The three of them stood still and waited for the black shadows on all sides to get closer. Now they could see clearly that they were all skinny vicious dogs, each with a big head and a small body, with scabby skin and hair, with their mouths wide open, white teeth exposed, blood-red tongues drooping, staring at them with red eyes, smelly saliva dripping from their tongues, and whining sounds in their mouths. Judging from their posture, as long as the three of them were a little weak, they would pounce on them. Gu Shiyi understood.

"Is this the Evil Dog Ridge?"

Pu Yanlan looked around and nodded.

"should be!"

He flipped his palm and took out something, threw it gently, and the thing drew a beautiful arc in the air and disappeared in the distance. The vicious dogs that were about to surround him seemed to smell something and immediately spread their legs and ran towards the place where the thing disappeared. Gu Shiyi heard,
"What did you throw?"

Pu Yanlan said lightly,

"It's just dead flesh!"

She is a ghost cultivator, so there will naturally be a lot of dead human flesh!
These evil dogs in the underworld eat dead things, so they naturally flock to human flesh!

Pu Yanlan said,

"There are too many of these vicious dogs. If we take action to deal with them, the noise will be too loud and alert the underworld, which would be bad!"

At that moment, a gust of cold wind blew up, and the three men went down the Evil Dog Ridge. Although they had been to the underworld several times, they had never been to hell. They didn't know how to get in. The three men decided to find a ghost to ask. They walked along the way in the cold wind for about half an hour before they saw a road in front of them. There was a long team moving slowly forward on it. They were the newly dead ghosts who were driven by the ghost to the city of wrongful death!
The three watched from a distance for a while, and felt that if they rashly took away a ghost, they would be discovered, so they concealed their breath, transformed into three ghosts and mixed into the team, pretending to be dazed and lost all the way, and walked patiently for a long time before reaching the city gate. There were ghosts guarding the city holding a list and calling out the names one by one.

"Wan Cuihua... Hu Youcai... Zhao Da... Zhong Kaishan..."

The ghosts whose names were called naturally went over one by one. Seeing that the line was getting shorter and shorter, and the remaining ghosts were getting smaller and smaller, suddenly a strong wind blew from the ground, and the ghost guarding the gate was not careful and the list in his hand was blown away. Seeing that the list was flying away with a bang, a group of little ghosts hurried over to catch up, picked it up, and continued to call the name for the official. The ghost turned to the page that had not been read yet.
"Huh...why do there seem to be a few more words on this page?"

But he did not suspect anything and continued to recite the poem.
"Gu Shiyi... Pu Yanlan... in red..."

The three ghosts obeyed and entered the city gate. After the ghost messenger finished reading the last few names, he put the list into his sleeve. He didn't see that as soon as the list was closed, the names of Gu Shiyi and the other two on the page flashed a few times and then disappeared...

Over there, Gu Shiyi and the other two were already wandering around the City of the Dead. They had been here before. What was the difference between the city in the underworld and the city in the world of the living?
Gu Shiyi’s answer was no!
There is no difference!
There are shops on both sides of the street, and ghosts are coming and going on the streets. The only difference is that the people in the world of the living have ruddy complexions, bright eyes, and shiny skin, while the people in the world of the dead have pale complexions, and their skin is also light blue. Their eyes are rolled up, some are completely white, and some are pitch black, like two black holes. But everyone is like this, so there is nothing to be afraid of!
Of course, just as there are people wearing strange clothes in the world of the living, there are also a few conspicuous bags in the city of the underworld.

Originally, after a person dies, they cannot control themselves when they become new souls, so most of them are in the state when they died. Those who died of old age are fine, and some who died in a very miserable way are indeed very scary. But after entering the City of the Dead, they can change themselves. Most ghosts still retain their habits in the world of the living, and will return to their normal appearance before death. However, the conspicuous bags are different. They like to walk around with their bloody heads and bodies. Some walk with their stomachs open and intestines dragging, some crawl with blood trailing all the way with broken legs, and some walk around on the street with their heads chopped off...

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan were naturally not afraid, and Hongyi looked straight ahead, not even looking at her. She floated leisurely on the street in her red dress. However, she did not want to cause trouble, but others wanted to provoke her...

The three of them were wandering aimlessly on the street. Gu Shiyi even enthusiastically used a handful of paper money she had taken out from an unlucky ghost to buy a bun from a roadside stall. When she broke the bun open, she saw a mass of rotten meat with maggots crawling on it. Gu Shiyi immediately lost interest. With her true dragon body, there was no difference between eating food from the underworld and eating food from the world of the living. However, the appearance of the bun was too bad and she really couldn't eat it!

Gu Shiyi did not give up and sat down at a roadside noodle stall. She ordered a bowl of noodles and picked up the noodles with her chopsticks. There were no strange bugs in them, but they were bland and tasted like chewing wax. They were really not tasty. She only took one bite and put it down.
"What does this smell like?"
