If that fellow did not take the lead, Li Changshou would not have been able to recognize him. He was actually the famous Ox-head of the Netherworld.
If one were to ask who this "Ox-head" was …
There was a poem in ancient times that praised him:
"There is a Yan Qingtian in the Netherworld who is impartial and can distinguish between loyalty and treachery.
The Judge of the Netherworld has come to help. Ox-head and Horse-face are standing beside him. "
The "Ox-head" and "Horse-face" mentioned in the poem were the Soul-Reaping Envoys of the Netherworld that Li Changshou was very familiar with in his previous life. They were basically as famous as the Black and White Impermanence.
In Li Changshou's blurry memories, there was a noodle shop near his home when he was young. It was called "Ox-head and Horse", and the taste was quite good!
But then again …
Were the famous Ox-head and Horse-face really just two experts of the Magi race? Did they really put on a headgear?
The Magi are quite something.
While Li Changshou sighed in his heart, he did not forget to pay attention to the changes in the current situation.
The matter had developed to the point where they were rubbing their palms and sharpening their knives. It was partly because the Netherworld messenger was arrogant and was deliberately stirring up trouble. It was also because Exalted Wang Qing was stubborn.
A "little demon" like the young general of the Netherworld would not make things difficult for him if he spoke nicely to him and made him feel that he was dignified.
Moreover, Li Changshou and the others had come to the Netherworld to use their connections and go through the back door. They could be considered to have interfered with the normal operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. They were not in the right.
Just as the two sides were about to fight, the lightweight expert of the Netherworld, Ox-head, appeared. Sect Leader Ji Wuyou was a little more afraid …
Ji Wuyou immediately sent a voice transmission to the four people behind him.
"Be careful. This monster is extraordinary. If you can avoid conflict with it, try your best to avoid it."
Youqin Genya frowned slightly and felt that the Sect Leader was a little inconsistent.
Li Changshou smiled in his heart. It would be great if the Sect Leader could understand the Great Art of Following One's Heart.
Ahem, could the disciples of Ren School be called following their hearts?
They were just following good advice.
Ox-head continued, "Are you the ones who came here to cause trouble?"
"Fellow Daoist, I am not here to cause trouble." Ji Wuyou placed his sword on his back and said calmly, "I and the others originally wanted to go to Fengdu, but the general of the Netherworld behind you deliberately made things difficult and stopped us here."
Ox-head adjusted his headgear to make his head look more harmonious and natural. The expressions on his headgear were also vivid and rich.
Ox-head turned to look at the sallow-faced general behind him and frowned.
"If you're fine, why are you stopping them?
Wouldn't it be fine to let them take some treasures and let them pass?
If they don't go, how are the brothers behind us going to receive the gifts? "
The five from Duxian Gate: "…"
The general hurriedly said, "Marshal, I really didn't mean to stop them. They were the ones who spoke arrogantly and deliberately provoked us!"
Ji Wuyou immediately said, "We provoked you on purpose?
In that case, why did fellow Daoist let him go, but only blocked I's path? "
Li Changshou secretly praised his Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader was actually so familiar with such a method of avoiding the important and changing the concept. It was obvious that he had done it many times before …
Ahem, it's obvious that he has rich life experience. He's really a talent that the Tushita Palace desperately needs to run errands!
When his position in Ren School stabilized, he would definitely recommend him to the Great Daoist Master.
The Soul-Reaping Envoy, Ox-head, looked at his subordinates and then at Ji Wuyou. Although he was a little conflicted, he still chose to stand on his side in the end …
"Alright, the five of you can go back the way you came.
I won't ask about today's matter and won't argue with you.
The Netherworld is the place where living beings reincarnate. It is protected by the Heavenly Dao. Not everyone can cause trouble. "
Ji Wuyou frowned when he heard Ox-head's words. Jiang Lin 'er looked anxious.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. In the end, he still had to come out and bluff a few times …
"Marshal!"
Youqin Genya suddenly said firmly, "Could it be that you made a decision without asking about the cause of the matter?"
Ox-head snorted and placed his hands behind his back.
"The Underworld isn't a place that just anyone can enter."
Youqin Genya was about to continue speaking when a huge hand reached out from the side and made a gesture to stop her.
She turned around and met Li Changshou's gaze.
Li Changshou smiled and shook his head.
"Junior Sister Youqin, you can't just look at your own position when dealing with matters. You have to consider the dignity of your own side and the other party.
Let me try this. Put away your Dharma treasures. "
Youqin Genya was instantly speechless. She only nodded slightly. The flying swords circling around her returned to their sheaths and became the huge sword.
Li Changshou took two steps on the gray cloud and bowed.
"Sect Leader, Grandmaster, Uncle-Grandmaster, can you let me try and ask this Soul-Reaping Marshal to give us a path to Fengdu City?"
No matter what, he had to take care of the pride of the experts.
Ji Wuyou wanted to say something but hesitated. He was worried that something would happen to Li Changshou.
After all, that was the treasure of the Duxian Sect, the private property of Master Xuandu of Ren School!
Uh, I can't say it, I can't say it …
Exalted Wang Qing frowned and looked at Li Changshou. His gaze was concerned and stern, as if he was afraid that Li Changshou would say the wrong thing and suffer an accident.
However, Jiang Lin 'er had already spoken anxiously. She hurriedly said, "Changshou, it's all up to you."
"Yes, Grandmaster."
Li Changshou performed a standard Dao salute and smiled. He flew towards Ox-head and the group of Netherworld soldiers on a cloud.
He flew very slowly, and his smile was very sincere.
However, for some reason, from the Soul-Reaping Envoy Ox-head to the other unimportant passers-by, they had the inexplicable urge to retreat immediately.
Before Ox-head could speak, Li Changshou bowed again.
"I'm Li Changshou, a disciple of the Duxian Sect of Ren School. Greetings, Senior Ox-head."
"Huh?" Ox-head blinked. "You guys are … from Ren School? The Ren School with the Lord Sage? "
"Senior, you must be joking. No one in this world would dare to pretend to be a Saint."
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and released some of his Dao runes. Ox-head's eyes lit up again.
He did not recognize the Dao runes, but he felt that it was very mysterious.
Li Changshou said, "There are many people here. Senior, can I have a word with you?"
"Why are you taking a step away?" Ox-Head was a little confused. "If you have something to say, just say it."
Li Changshou touched his sleeve and took out a dark red stone.
The Soul-Reaping Envoy's gaze changed instantly. It became serious, sharp, and vigilant. It was completely different from his previous carefree appearance!
He cupped his hands and made an inviting gesture.
"Sorry to trouble you. Come here."
Li Changshou and Ox-head walked together and walked 200 feet to the side, causing the two groups of people to tilt their heads …
Under the puzzled, shocked, puzzled, and confused gazes of the Netherworld servants and the Immortal Du Sect, Ox-head took out a steel fork and gently tapped it on the ground. A blood-red barrier enveloped the two of them.
Even Ji Wuyou, who was in the Gold God realm, could not hear what the two of them were talking about …
Youqin Genya blinked and could not help but smile bitterly.
How … How do I learn?
After an hour, the Ox-head dispersed the barrier and sighed softly. He bowed to Li Changshou. Li Changshou hurriedly returned the greeting.
Ox-head took out a wooden sign. There was a simple ox head engraved on the wooden sign. It contained some aura and Dao runes.
Ox-head said seriously, "Fellow Daoist, if you encounter any trouble in Fengdu City, take out this token. No one will dare to make things difficult for you."
"Thank you for taking care of me, Senior."
"No, no, I should be the one thanking you for taking care of me."
Ox-head sighed softly but did not say anything. The two of them made an inviting gesture and returned to their respective places.
The Soul-Reaping Envoy shouted,
"What are you waiting for? Make way!
This is a distinguished guest of the Netherworld! Are all of you itching for a beating? "
As he spoke, Ox-head glared at the sallow-faced general.
The latter's expression changed and his legs began to tremble …
On Li Changshou's side, he bowed to the Sect Leader, Grandmaster, and Grandmaster's husband and calmly returned to Youqin Genya's side.
Done.
At that moment, the Netherworld servants of the Netherworld made way. Ji Wuyou smiled and rode a cloud with the four of them through the checkpoint.
Although Ji Wuyou, like Jiang Lin 'er, Exalted Wang Qing, and Youqin Genya, felt like they were in a fog and did not know what was going on, the Sect Leader understood very well. Naturally, he would not ask about Li Changshou.
After all, it was "that". No matter how magical it was, it was not magical.
As soon as the five people of the Duxian Gate left, the Soul-Reaping Envoy spat out two puffs of white smoke from his nostrils. Without another word, he suddenly turned around and kicked the general to the ground!
He did not use much strength in that kick. He only knocked the other party down and pounced on him to punch and kick him.
After a series of elegant and easy-going vulgarities from the Magi …
The Soul-Reaping Envoy, Ox-head, took off his headgear and spat at the general who was curling up on the ground.
"Damn you!
How dare you use the power of the Netherworld to make enemies for the Netherworld! Our lives are better now, but you don't feel comfortable all over, do you?
You bastard! How dare you stop the people of Ren School?
You're drunk like this! "
The general on the ground, whose face was already swollen, begged for mercy. Ox-head snorted and stretched his muscles. He then put on his headgear.
The headgear was also a Dharma treasure. It quickly fused with Ox-head's body. Apart from the difference in skin color, there were no flaws.
Ox-head thought for a while and said,
"A few of you who know how to write, write a few good words. When the five of them leave later, hang them on both sides as an apology!"
"Marshal, what should I write?"
"Hmm … Just write some polite words like the Netherworld welcomes you and the Netherworld is our home."
The group of Netherworld servants immediately understood something and began to get busy.
At the same time …
On the cloud that had just flown away, Jiang Lin 'er was also glaring at Li Changshou.
"Changshou, how … did you do it just now?"
Since Li Changshou dared to attack, he naturally thought of a way to explain in advance.
In fact, he had even prepared three different ways of saying it …
He took out the stone that he had shown Ox-head earlier and smiled.
"Grandmaster, this was given to me by my cousin, Lingli, before I came.
Lingli has the bloodline of a half-human and half-Magi. It is also a rare Magihuman bloodline in the Primordial World. This stone is called the Witch Blood Stone. It is considered a token of the Magi.
On the way here, when the Sect Leader was talking about the stories of the Netherworld, he mentioned that most of the experts in the Netherworld were from the Magi race.
Just now, I wanted to give it a try. I took out this item and said a few clever words … "
The stone was naturally not given to him by Xiong Lingli. Li Changshou had dug it out from the pile of stones in the tent in Xiong Village …
Jiang Lin 'er frowned slightly and said, "Although you said it was so easy, it's not something that can be done so easily!"
Ji Wuyou smiled and said, "Don't ask Changshou too much. Isn't it a good thing that you can come over?"
Jiang Lin 'er was stunned again. Then, she lowered her head and agreed obediently.
When she looked at Li Changshou again, she felt that there were more layers of fog around her mysterious little grand-disciple.
Where did Second Brother take in such a disciple? He should be the reincarnation of a mighty figure.
What did Li Changshou say to Ox-head?
Actually, he did not say much. At first, he simply said a few words about his relationship with Xiong Lingli. Then, his tone changed …
"Senior, have you heard of the Sea God of the South Ocean?"
After that, most of the conversation, Li Changshou was talking about his "Sea God" friend.
He indirectly pointed out the relationship between the Sea God of the South Ocean, Ren School, the Celestial Court, and the Dragons. He also explained clearly how the Sea God formed ties with the Magihumans and how he gave the Magihumans benefits …
Li Changshou was hiding something. He said that the Sea God had the intention to help the Magi improve their living situation. He also hinted that he, Li Changshou, was willing to persuade the Sea God of the South Ocean to come to the Netherworld …
After using a few simple tricks, Ox-head had already treated Li Changshou as a distinguished guest. He was also looking forward to the Sea God's "arrival" in the future.
That was a plan to kill several birds with one stone.
It would ease the tension between the Duxian Gate and the other party, resolve the conflict, and open up the path to Fengdu.
The five of them could also receive some help from the Netherworld forces. It would be convenient for them to search for Aunt-Master Wanjiang Yu's whereabouts later.
More importantly, the conversation with Ox-head today had also laid the groundwork for Li Changshou to plot against the merit of the Netherworld after he gained a foothold in the Celestial Court and stabilized himself …
Now, there were only two branches of the Magi remaining. One of them was to suppress the Netherworld forever and had nothing to do with the Magi. Before they entered the encampment, they swore that they would no longer interfere with the matters of the Magi.
The other branch was the pure Magi. They had been exiled to the bitter cold land of the North Continent. They struggled with difficulty and could not take half a step out of the North Continent.
The Magi of the Netherworld wanted to help the Magi of the North Continent. That was the important clue that Li Changshou had obtained from his conversation with Ox-head. He decided to take advantage of the situation and take the right medicine …
The five of them flew for a while. Li Changshou thought of something and looked at Youqin Genya, who was staring at the sky in a daze.
"Junior Sister Youqin, if you can avoid taking action, it's better to use your mouth."
"Yes, Senior Brother, I'll remember."
Youqin Genya smiled gently, but there was a hint of helplessness in her smile.
Senior Brother Changshou was like a thick book.
Every time she thought that she had seen part of his content, she realized that it was just the preface. There were still countless pages behind …
…
After obtaining the Soul-Reaping Envoy's token, the matter of finding Wanjiang Yu's True Spirit became much easier.
There was no need to describe the atmosphere and prosperity of Fengdu City. Under Jiang Lin 'er's lead, the five of them entered the city and went straight to a yamen of the Netherworld to find the low-ranking official.
The low-ranking official naturally recognized Jiang Lin 'er. When he saw her, he took out more than ten treasure pouches and said that he could not complete the matter. He really could not find Wanjiang Yu's reincarnated tree spirit.
Jiang Lin 'er's eyes turned red. She begged the low-ranking official to try again, but the latter only shook his head.
When Li Changshou saw that, he took out Ox-head's token. The low-ranking official trembled and hurriedly invited the five of them to enter to rest. He also asked his "superior" to come forward and investigate seriously.
The result was still the same …
She was really gone.
Just as Jiang Lin 'er was about to fall into despair, Li Changshou frowned and asked,
"Sir, may I trouble you to tell us where this true spirit has reincarnated?
Since it's a tree spirit, it will definitely not be too far away from where it was born. "
The Netherworld official, who had a mustache and looked shrewd and capable, hesitated …
"I'm afraid that's against the rules …"
It was rare for Li Changshou to make a decision on his own. He took the dozen or so treasure pouches from his Grandmaster and added two more treasure pouches. He leaned in front of the low-ranking official and smiled.
"We definitely won't make things difficult for you, Sir. We just accidentally took a peek at your dossier. It's definitely not your intention to reveal it."
"In that case …"
The low-ranking official pondered for a while. Li Changshou had already stuffed the dozen or so treasure pouches into the person's sleeve and retracted his palm without leaving a trace.
The low-ranking official nodded and sighed.
"That's not impossible. Follow me. Please wait here for the others."
