This Liao Zhai is not right

If Lord Black Mountain forcibly descends to the world of the living using his clone, or sends out his subordinates who have cultivated to become great demons or ghost generals, that would be another matter.

But Lord Heishan only has a total of 100,000 ghost soldiers and hundreds of ghost generals under his command. He won't send them all to invade such a small place as Guobei County, right?

According to Su Su's estimation, the number of ghost soldiers and generals sent by Heishan Jun to attack Guobei County in the front is at most three to five thousand. She would wait for him to command the ghost soldiers in the Yama Seal to slowly appear and strangle them, while Heishan Jun would continue to replenish his troops in the world of the living.

In the end, even after losing 10 or 20,000 ghost soldiers, he was still unable to break through the ghost gate of the charity cemetery on the outskirts of the city. He lost everything he had, which was almost the limit that Heishan Jun could bear.

Just as Su Su turned around and was about to head toward the ghost gate of the charity cemetery on the outskirts of the city, Sun Si Niang, holding a wooden sign with the words "Daily Patrol" written on it, descended from the sky and stood steadily in front of her.

Looking at Su Su wandering around leisurely, Sun Si Niang really couldn't understand what she was thinking.

"That Black Mountain Lord showed his evil side. He cast a spell to bring down torrential rain in Guobei County, reversing yin and yang and causing evil spirits to rise to the sky. As a result, evil spirits dared to show up in broad daylight and fight with the patrolling ghost soldiers. Aren't you worried at all?"

"Why are you in such a hurry in broad daylight? The main event has to wait until after nightfall. You've come just in time. Take me to the ghost gate of the underworld for a tour!"

Chapter 117: Black Mountain in the Underworld

Passing through the ghost gate of the charity cemetery on the outskirts of the city, the cold wind was blowing and the gloomy underworld appeared before our eyes.

It is daytime in the world of the living, which is equivalent to night in the underworld.

The dark sky was dimly lit, and there were no ghosts around the Ghost Gate.

Across the Forgotten River, one can see a vast expanse of pitch-black, barren, and precipitous mountain ranges that stretch endlessly, with densely packed towering peaks extending from south to north, with no end in sight.

On top of the dark mountains, graves are everywhere, pale soul-calling banners are waving unsteadily, and beneath the clusters of ghosts, the remains of the dead are visible.

A fishy wind blew in my face, and I could feel a creepy evil spirit.

This is where the real body of Black Mountain Lord is located. It runs from north to south and stretches over 700 miles in the underworld. From Jinhua to Yangzhou, the demons and monsters under Black Mountain Lord's command can be seen everywhere.

Standing on the north bank of Wangchuan River, the cold wind blew his clothes, and Su Fu immediately showed his divine body wearing a black crown and a crown on his head, looking into the distance: "There seems to be a market town at the foot of the Black Mountain, and there are many ghosts shuttling inside. They should be the ghost soldiers under the command of the Lord of Black Mountain."

As the saying goes: A horse will die if it runs too far up the mountain.

Although one could see a ghost town at the foot of a dark mountain from afar, a rough estimate of the distance showed that it was at least forty or fifty miles away.

"The area of a hundred miles around the Black Mountain Range in the underworld is all under the influence of the Black Mountain Lord. The market town here is naturally under the jurisdiction of the underworld soldiers under his command." The wooden sign with the words "Daily Patrol" disappeared from Sun Si Niang's hand, and she returned to her appearance of being dressed in white.

The Black Mountain body of the Black Mountain Lord, which accommodates thousands of Yin gods, stretches for more than 700 miles from north to south in the underworld. The area of more than 100 miles around the mountain range is within his sphere of influence, and half of the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River is under his influence.

It is not unreasonable that King Yama regards him as a serious threat.

"Would you like to go over and find out?"

Sun Si Niang looked at Su Fu, who had a thoughtful look on his face and asked.

As soon as they met, Su Su couldn't wait to go down to the ghost gate of the underworld, so Sun Si Niang had reason to believe that her main purpose was to find out the true strength of the ghost soldiers sent by Heishan Jun to the vicinity of Guobei County.

However, Su Su was not very interested in her proposal.

Instead, he asked, "How far is it from the Guimen in Guobei County to the Wrongful Death City? At your fastest speed, how long will it take to get there?"

"The City of Wrongful Death is located beside the Naihe Bridge. People who died before their life span is over will reach the City of Wrongful Death by crossing the Naihe Bridge. However, because the City of Wrongful Death is occupied by the Black Mountain Lord, the road to the Naihe Bridge is blocked. The only way to reach the City of Wrongful Death is to break into the Black Mountain Lord's body. For me, it only took half a minute to find the location of the City of Wrongful Death in the Black Mountain, which is more than 700 miles long."

Sun Si Niang said so.

With the ability she showed when she brought Su Fu and others back to Guimen, Yizhuang, on the outskirts of Guobei County from Ge Gu Garden on the other side of Guimen Wangchuan in Yishui, Shandong, it was no exaggeration to say that she only took half a quarter of an hour to find the location of the City of the Dead in the endless black mountains that stretched for more than 700 miles.

"Only half a quarter of an hour? Doesn't that mean that after I use the half of the Five Thunders Edict to draw the thunder from the sky to stab Lord Black Mountain in the back with a severe blow, I will still have plenty of free time to escape calmly, and even take the opportunity to replace King Biancheng's throne in the City of Wrongful Death!"

Although Su Su did not have the courage to fight Heishan Jun in the underworld, he had the courage to fan the flames and launch a sneak attack in secret.

Thinking of this, she was overjoyed.

She made up her mind and said, "When the time comes, we will disguise ourselves as female ghosts and sneak into the Black Mountain Lord's body from this underworld town, and head straight to the Wrongful Death City."

"You don't want your life?"

Hearing Su Fu's enthusiastic proposal to break into the Wrongful Death City with her, Sun Si Niang's face darkened and she said in a persuasive tone: "Wrongful Death City is managed by Black Mountain Lord and is impregnable. All kinds of demons and evil spirits are entrenched in it. It is like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair. Even if I break in rashly, it will be difficult to escape. I will have no time to take care of other things at that time. With your initial cultivation level of Yang God, you will only die."

I thought I could scare Su Su with these words and make her give up this risky plan.

Unexpectedly, Su Fu was surprised when he heard the voice and said, "What? You said that all of Heishan Jun's most important subordinates are in the City of the Dead? This time, God is really helping me!"

Sun Si Niang was confused by Su Su's surprised expression.

Afraid that she didn't hear what he said clearly, he repeated it.

"Did you hear clearly what I said just now: the City of Wrongful Death is a den of dragons and tigers. With your cultivation level of just entering the Yang God, you will only die if you enter the City of Wrongful Death without permission?"

"Of course I heard you. If you are not sure you can get out of the City of the Dead, then we won't go into the city. You just need to fly over the City of the Dead quickly, and I will take care of everything else."

Su Su didn't come to the underworld to engage in any battle between the two armies with the Lord of Black Mountain. She only needed to use the half of the Five Thunder Edict to draw out the thunder from the sky in the City of the Dead.

As for whether to enter the city, that depends on the situation.

Seeing that Su Su had no intention of trespassing into the City of Wrongful Death, Sun Si Niang kept silent.

We walked along the Black Mountain for more than a hundred miles and didn't see any wandering ghosts along the way. Instead, we encountered quite a few camps of ghost soldiers under the command of the Black Mountain Lord. After careful calculation, there were at least two to three thousand ghost soldiers.

The habits of ghosts in the underworld are almost the same as those of living people in the world of the living, except that the ghosts in the underworld have the opposite schedule of living people, following the habit of resting at sunrise and moving at sunset.

Therefore, there are only a few teams of Yin soldiers on duty in these camps, patrolling and guarding all night long, while the rest are all dormant during this period when the Yin energy is gradually weakening and the Yang energy is rising.

Only after he had roughly explored the corresponding territory of Guobei County in the Yang world did Su Su call Sun Si Niang and return to the south bank of Wangchuan with her.

Gazing at the blood-yellow waters of the Wangchuan River, Su Su said with a sense of loss, "These two to three thousand ghost soldiers are probably all the troops sent by the Black Mountain Lord to invade Guobei County. Considering the current situation where the roads in the three townships and one town of Guobei County are blocked and traffic is cut off, they will attack the ghost gate of the Yizhuang in the suburbs tonight and enter Guobei County to retaliate."

"That's true, but Lord Heishan only sent less than 3,000 ghost soldiers to attack Guobei County. It seems that he doesn't take me, the City God of Guobei County, seriously at all!"

Sun Si Niang was speechless at Su Su's lost mood.

I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, "Guobei County is located between poor mountains and bad waters, with a sparse population. There are only about 2,000 households in the whole county. The Black Mountain Lord has sent nearly 3,000 ghost soldiers to deal with you, which shows that he is particularly interested in you. According to common sense, even if the City God of Jinhua Prefecture was caught off guard by these nearly 3,000 ghost soldiers, there would be a danger of the Taoist lineage being cut off, let alone you, the City God of Guobei County."

"But who would have thought that this little Guobei County City God actually possesses the power of a Yang God and is also the Yama King of the underworld?"

Chapter 118 Close the door and beat the dog

It rained heavily all day long.

It was late at night at 11 p.m. when the rain gradually subsided.

"coming!"

Su Su, who had been waiting in the charity cemetery on the outskirts of the city for most of the day, saw the situation and took action. He walked out of the courtyard with Sun Si Niang. They saw the outline of the Ghost Gate, which was extremely dilapidated and covered with moss, looming in the distance. At this time, dozens of ghost soldiers under the command of Black Mountain Lord rushed out of the Ghost Gate and fought with a dozen ghost soldiers who were patrolling and guarding the gate and were prepared.

The cold wind blew, swords clashed, and the sound of fighting suddenly rang out.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Hundreds of ghost soldiers hiding in the dense forests in the wilderness surrounding the charity cemetery fired arrows at the same time, instantly shooting dozens of ghost soldiers under the command of the Black Mountain Lord who rushed out of the ghost gate into sieves. Accompanied by a series of screams one after another, they were reduced to ashes.

In just a moment, dozens of Yin soldiers under Heishan Jun's command who were leading the charge were wiped out before they could even report the ambush to the rear.

He used the same trick again and shot and killed several teams of vanguard soldiers in a row.

Then the ghost general arrived belatedly, rushing out of the Ghost Gate with a tiger-mouthed broadsword in hand, killing four or five ghost soldiers from the underworld in a row, and clearing out a small area outside the Ghost Gate, forming a formation to resist, intending to recruit more ghost soldiers from inside the Ghost Gate and break through the defense line in one fell swoop.

next moment.

Su Su flicked his finger and flicked the tiny red iron sand all over the body, instantly piercing through the extremely solid body of the ghost, which had a few strands of incense and vows flowing through it.

Suddenly, it was as if pouring cold water into boiling oil in a hot pot. The extremely solid body of the ghost general was injured by a few tiny red iron sands and directly turned into a ball of black gas and exploded.

Wisps of cinnabar, thunder and fire smoke drifted out from the black air. The neighboring ghost soldiers only touched them slightly, and just like the ghost generals who exploded before, only a few crackling sounds were heard, and the illusory ghost bodies all exploded.

Evil spirits are most afraid of coming into contact with people with strong yang energy or objects that can drive away evil spirits. However, the cinnabar, thunder, fire and smoke screen created by the power of the Yang God Su Su has both of these. Even if one is just slightly contaminated, it is enough to damage the Yin spirit of the cultivator.

The ghost bodies of the ghost soldiers and generals are more illusory and unstable than the ghost spirits of the cultivators. It is not surprising that when they touch such extremely yang and strong objects for exorcising evil spirits, their ghost bodies explode, and their souls are scattered and reduced to ashes.

"Guard the Ghost Gate firmly and don't let too many fish slip through the net."

Taking out the Yama Seal, Su Fu summoned hundreds of ghost soldiers again and dispersed them around the Ghost Gate. He gave Sun Si Niang a look and said, "I might reveal my true form in a while. You must always pay attention to the battle situation. When you see me reveal my true form to lure the enemy, be ready to take me away calmly."

"It's an easy task. I will follow you closely and never leave your side." Sun Si Niang replied softly.

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. Thousands of ghost soldiers from both sides fought at the palm-sized ghost gate of Yizhuang on the outskirts of the city. It was difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time. No one knew when Lord Heishan would pay attention to the battle situation in Guobei County in the Yang world.

For example, at this moment, after Su Su used thundering means to eliminate the ghost general who rushed out of the Ghost Gate, the ghost soldiers under the command of Heishan Jun, who had been sending out vanguards to attack and capture the Ghost Gate just a moment ago, immediately stopped their attacks.

It seems that he is beginning to have the idea of giving up.

In just a moment, five or six burly, strong and armored warriors rushed out of the ghost gate at lightning speed. The long swords and halberds in their hands, blessed by the power of incense and vows, easily tore through the counterattacking underworld soldiers. They were like entering an empty space, and in the blink of an eye, the entire team of underworld soldiers was completely wiped out.

What is virtual is real, what is real is virtual.

If Su Su had not been prepared at all, the defense line outside the Ghost Gate would have been breached.

However, she had already mobilized hundreds of ghost soldiers and lined them up around the Ghost Gate. Seeing that five or six fierce generals under the command of Black Mountain Lord were unstoppable, she immediately formed a military formation, with archers in the back, spearmen in the middle, and sword and shield soldiers in the front. The murderous aura rose, and the long swords and halberds in the hands of these five or six fierce generals, which were blessed with incense and wishes, were quickly worn out.

Under layers of siege, he had no choice but to die on the spot.

At the same time, more ghost soldiers under the command of Lord Black Mountain came out from the Ghost Gate to support, wanting to cooperate with the five or six brave generals who had died on the spot to expand the results of the battle. Another volley of arrows was fired, and the offensive was interrupted before it was formed. Most of the ghost soldiers who came to support were killed or wounded in an instant, and they fled back to the underworld in disarray.

"The evil soldiers under Lord Black Mountain have been temporarily repelled."

Su Su frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "But their next wave of attack will be more intense. The real offensive is about to begin. Can we lure Black Mountain Lord out tonight?"

Turning her eyes to look at the vaguely visible inner wall of the charity cemetery, it was obvious that her words were addressed to King Yama, who was only one door away from the Yama Temple.

Seeing two fleeting dark green rays of light, Su Su knew very well that this was the response from King Yama after hearing the voice.

The strategy of luring the enemy lies in playing hard to get. The enemy should see the hope of defeating the enemy, rather than an overwhelming disadvantage, so that they will launch continuous offensives and finally fall into the prisoner's dilemma until they lose all their chips.

Therefore, Su Fu just slowly filled up the defense line, and even deliberately left weak points.

The brief respite was soon broken.

The vanguard of this offensive was no longer a fierce general among the ghost soldiers who could fight ten against one, but ordinary ghost soldiers who rushed out from the ghost gate in an endless stream.

The goal was to use the ghost sea tactics to break through the Yi Zhuang Ghost Gate defense line, which was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of ghost soldiers from the underworld.

It can be seen that relying on the previous waves of tentative attacks, the ghost generals under Heishan Jun's command who were leading a group of ghost soldiers to invade Guobei County had already known Su Fu's corresponding arrangements, so they were able to use this strategy of hitting the vital points.

Suddenly, the defense line outside the Ghost Gate was in danger due to the attack of a large number of Ghost soldiers under the command of Black Mountain Lord who continuously rushed out from the Ghost Gate. In a short while, at least a dozen Ghost soldiers under the command of Black Mountain Lord rushed into Guobei County from the weak point of the defense line.

One hit worked.

The enemy has clearly seen hope of winning.

The number of ghost soldiers rushing out from the Ghost Gate suddenly increased, causing the defense line that the ghost soldiers of the underworld had been struggling to maintain to retreat step by step.

"Two fists cannot beat four hands. The enemy will not put all his chips on this wave of attack at once. We have to put some pressure on him."

With a slight movement of his mind, the Yama Seal shone brightly, and thousands of underworld soldiers rushed into the battle.

The Ghost Gate defense line, which had been precarious, suddenly became impregnable, and launched counterattacks one after another, making the battle situation increasingly tense.

Su Su was very confident and not in a hurry at all.

However, the enemy, who only had less than three thousand Yin soldiers in total, had already exerted 70% or 80% of their strength and were eager to achieve victory in one battle.

Dozens of ghost soldiers wearing armor, with weapons in their hands blessed by the power of incense and vows, looking like elite warriors, broke through the ghost gate under the leadership of two ghost generals whose ghost bodies seemed real.

The tense battle situation has become turbulent again.

Seeing that the enemy had revealed all their cards, Su Su grasped the seal of the City God of Guobei County tied on his wrist, and in his right hand he took out the half-black and half-white soul-beating ruler that revealed his identity as the City God.

The power to exorcise evil spirits was infused into it, and he swung it casually, smashing it directly onto the heads of the two ghost generals who had broken through the ghost gate.

“It’s time to close the door and beat the dog.”

Chapter 119 On the verge of breaking out

"This is a plan to lure the snake out of its hole. We have fallen into the trap."

Seeing the soul-beating ruler smashing through the air, the two ghost generals had no way to dodge. The soul-beating ruler, which was blessed by the power of exorcism, hit them. Most of their ghost bodies dissipated, and they screamed miserably: "The enemy is cheating, General Zhong, help me!"

The two ghost generals' voices were shrill, accompanied by gusts of cold wind, and the lingering sound made people's hair stand on end.

It is visibly dilapidated and extremely worn out with the naked eye. Black gas is gushing out of the moss-covered ghost gate. A pair of blood-red eyes peek out from it. The eyelids open and close, and the eyes are bright, like lightning, and then the fangs as sharp as knives disperse the gushing black gas.

This was actually a terrifying ghost with fangs in his mouth and a ferocious face, just like the hollow-bellied ghost king in the Examination Bureau.

He has obviously left the category of ordinary ghosts and turned into a cultivator who cultivates to become a ghost immortal.

He suddenly appeared, looking at Su Su who was holding the seal of the City God of Guobei County with his red eyes. His eyeballs rolled around rapidly, as if he wanted to see through Su Su's true identity.

Invisible evil spirit swept across the battlefield around Ghost Gate. In an instant, a blood-red long sword was unsheathed, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling came from it. The pungent smell of blood quickly spread. Inspired by this, the morale of the ghost soldiers under the command of Black Mountain Lord became even stronger, and their offensive became more fierce.

The ghost general called General Zhong came forward with a bloody sword in his hand and slashed at Su Fu.
