Chapter 273: I'm on the pirate ship and can't get off
Ten thousand meters underground in Mount Tai.
Wen Rui and the Rakshasa woman sneaked out of the underground crevice, and under the cover of Wen Rui's invisibility ability, they moved forward tiptoe.
Their destination is the core array of Mount Tai's earth veins, which is the ghost gate that separates yin and yang.
Sneaking to within a hundred meters of the Ghost Gate, relying on their magical powers of invisibility, the two of them boldly approached and observed, spying on the defense situation of the Ghost Gate.
The so-called Ghost Gate is just an ancient archway, standing abruptly in the center of the empty underground cave. Several black iron chains hang from the eaves of the archway, and the ends are nailed to the ground by huge iron nails.
There is nothing special on both sides of the Ghost Gate, and it doesn't look like a pass at all.
However, this archway was surrounded by hundreds of golden-armored heavenly soldiers, and there were also many golden-armored soldiers patrolling back and forth in the air, giving it an atmosphere of strict defense.
The Ghost Gate is not open. If it were open, a huge space vortex would form above the archway, opening up a huge transmission tunnel connecting the two worlds.
Wen Rui asked quietly, "On July 14, the gates of hell open. Did you sneak across the gate when the yin energy was at its peak on July 14 and blend in with the ghosts who were trying to get through?"
"July 14th is not a good day to sneak across the river." Luosha woman explained to Wen Rui very understandingly, "That day is equivalent to letting the ghosts in the underworld take a walk, wandering around in the world of the living, and harmonizing the yin and yang energy of the living beings in heaven and earth. The ghosts who pass through the gates of hell and reach the world of the living that day will be forced to be transported back to the underworld as soon as the sun rises the next day.
"No magical power can resist the power of teleportation. That is the unique law of Ghost Gate."
"If I choose to sneak across on that day, I can only visit the world of the living for a day and cannot stay there for a long time."
"Very good, very good. I underestimated you. It seems you still have some hidden tricks to sneak across the border."
Wen Rui was excited when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction: "If there is only one day a year when people can sneak across the border, there will be no smuggling business."
“This…” The Rakshasa woman was very conflicted and stammered, “Crossing the boundary without permission is a serious crime under the Heavenly Law. I was lucky enough to succeed once without being discovered, so I have a place to stay in the mortal world. If I were to repeatedly travel through Yin and Yang and get caught, not only would I die without a burial place, but my soul would also never rest in peace.”
"I have your back, what are you afraid of?"
Wen Rui urged, "The Heavenly Law punishes only the unlucky demons with no background. Even if you are caught, my brother Huang will be in charge of arresting and imprisoning you, and my father will be in charge of judging and executing you. We are all family members. As long as you don't poke a hole in the sky, I can help you solve any problem."
The Rakshasa woman was still a little skeptical, but she was already very close to believing Wen Rui's lies.
If Wen Rui had not introduced her to have a meal with Emperor Dongyue and toasted him with a glass of wine during the meal, she really would not have believed that Wen Rui had such great power.
After thinking about it carefully, Luosha woman felt that Wen Rui arranged this dinner party in the name of visiting a friend, on the one hand to plot against Emperor Dongyue and his son, and on the other hand to show his background strength to her.
"Well, if I don't tell you how to sneak across the border, you won't do anything to me, right?"
The Rakshasa woman asked cautiously.
"Of course I won't do anything to you."
Wen Rui agreed with a smile, but then he changed the subject and his tone became a little sinister: "It's just that you secretly hide the secret method of sneaking between the two worlds, which is very dangerous. If the bad guys find out or interrogate you, they will use this method to secretly gather an army of evil demons and ghosts to sneak into the world of the living to stir up trouble, which will be a disaster for the mortal world."
"I care about the common people in my heart. I have great merits, so of course I want to protect the world of the living and bless the people. So I have no choice but to report this huge threat of yours to the Heavenly Court and ask the Jade Emperor to make a judgment."
"You are too mean!" The Rakshasa woman was so angry that her pretty face turned pale. "If I can help you make money, you will disregard the heavenly rules and help me out even if I commit a crime. If I don't help you make money, you will sell me out to gain merit. So you can't lose anything, right?"
"Not only that, if you really poke a hole in the sky, I won't be able to rescue you, and I will even sacrifice the car to save the driver. I will secretly send someone to kill you in the Tianhe Water Prison and announce to the public that you were hit by seven flying swords in the back and committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
Wen Rui was not ashamed, but proud, and said complacently: "So, don't act recklessly just because you have me as your protection. You should always think clearly about your own situation."
The Rakshasa woman's body was swaying, and she finally realized that she had boarded a pirate ship and could not get off even if she wanted to.
Dark, so dark!
Wen Rui was not in a hurry. He held the stick and waited for her to figure it out.
The Rakshasa woman sighed deeply, dragged her heavy feet helplessly, and guided Wen Rui to another secret location in the crack of the Taishan earth vein.
In just a blink of an eye, with the help of Wen Rui's magical power of shrinking the earth, they immediately arrived at their destination.
This place is empty and there is nothing special about it. It is just an empty underground space.
"I tried for a long time before I found this place." Luosha woman said weakly, "The yin and yang space barrier here is relatively weak. Using magic weapons or great magical powers here can temporarily open a space tunnel connecting the yin and yang worlds."
Wen Rui excitedly rubbed his hands and said, "Quick, show me how you broke the boundary barrier between the mortal world and the earthly world."
The Rakshasa woman rolled her eyes and said with regret, "I used a supreme magic weapon stolen from the Rakshasa national treasury. Unfortunately, the magic power it endured was too great when I sneaked across the border last time, and it was damaged after colliding with the boundary barrier."
"I forgot to remind you that the helmet of my armor has a built-in lie detector."
Wen Rui rolled his eyes and said coldly, "If you dare to lie to me again, believe it or not, I will really report you and use you to gain credit. Now the Heavenly Court is just waiting for an opportunity to dig a hole in the door and find a reason to deify me. Guarding the Yin-Yang barrier, protecting the peace of the world, and preventing a conspiracy of the demons to invade the mortal world, sounds like the most suitable."
"Hey, no, no, no, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!"
The Rakshasa woman quickly waved her hands to beg for mercy, opened her mouth obediently, rolled up her tongue, and took out a miniature fan from her mouth.
The small fan grew bigger in her palm and turned into an emerald green banana fan.
Wen Rui nodded with satisfaction and said, "I knew that you must have used this precious banana fan to travel through the Yin and Yang world."
"How do you know I have a palm leaf fan?"
The Rakshasa woman said in shock, “I was afraid that you would covet it and rob it, so I never showed it to you even though you bullied me repeatedly.”
Wen Rui looked mysterious and said calmly, "What's so strange about knowing this little secret?"
"I am the chief disciple of Master Tongtian and the leader of the modern Jiejiao. There are countless secret books and scrolls in the Jiejiao library, which record almost all the secrets of the Three Realms since the creation of the world."
"I also know that your treasured fan was transformed from two banana leaves when the world was first created. It is an innate treasure. There are a pair of these fans. Yours is a Yin fan, which can blow out endless Yin wind and extinguish all the flames in the world."
"Well, am I right?"
The witch hurriedly hugged the palm-leaf fan in her arms and unconsciously stepped back step by step, as if she was not wearing any clothes and was seen through by Wen Rui. She wanted to cover up and hide but had nowhere to escape.
