Chapter 1814 Regrouping
On the bank of Wangchuan River.
A middle-aged man, a green-robed girl, and a white-clothed girl stood side by side.
The three of them stared at Wang Chuanjiang with solemn expressions.
"You have to pay attention to grasping the timing, otherwise—" said the girl in white.
"Don't worry." The green-robed girl said.
The middle-aged man suddenly said: "It's time!"
The green-robed girl suddenly became agitated, and suddenly raised her hands——
The fishing rod was raised high, and a big fish biting the hook was brought out of the water.
Snapped!
The big fish landed on the shore and kept flopping.
The three of them beamed with joy.
"Wow! What a big one! Rhodes, you said you can fry fish, so I'll cook the rice first!"
"Okay, leave it to me." Gu Qingshan said.
The girl in white nodded and hurried away.
Gu Qingshan took out a pot, used a flame technique, and started to heat up the pot.
He rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the fish and started to handle it, saying in his mouth:
"I heard that Wangchuan is the reincarnation path of Huangquan, why is there a big fish in it?"
The green-robed girl said: "Yes, it is the mother river of Huangquan, and it can naturally give birth to some things, otherwise we would have been drinking the northwest wind."
"You are the gods of the underworld, how can you not be able to supply food and drink?" Gu Qingshan asked in surprise.
The girl said: "Usually, you can go to the heavens and the world, and you can earn some food and drink casually, but now is a special period, and the whole of Huangquan has entered a state of war, so we can't go out."
"—The current situation is that we can't go out, we don't have merit, and we can't exchange materials. Others are busy participating in various tasks, and we are left to stay at home every day, and some savings are slowly used up."
The girl couldn't help but sighed, and muttered in a low voice: "We have already found the ghost king of Huangquan, and we are looking forward to his return, who knows..."
Her expression was a little sad, and her voice became low, gradually becoming inaudible.
Gu Qingshan was silent for a moment, and did not ask any more questions.
He threw the processed fish into the frying pan.
——Zi la!
The frying pan made a noise.
Gu Qingshan picked up the spatula and began to concentrate on handling the fish.
The fish in the Wangchuan River is a rare ingredient. He has never cooked it before. This time, he needs to accumulate relevant experience.
The girl put the bait on the hook and threw it into the Wangchuan River again.
Gu Qingshan glanced casually.
I remember that this fishing rod is also an artifact, which represents one of the gods in the ecstasy.
Now, the artifact is being used for fishing.
——The gods will not starve to death, but as a god, they can't afford to eat, which is too miserable.
Is the 18th floor of hell really that unbearable?
Gu Qingshan fell into deep thought.
after awhile.
A girl in white flew over from afar, holding a big bag in her left hand and a rice cooker in her right hand.
She fell behind the two of them, set the table and tableware, and went to serve the meal again.
"The meal is ready, I brought an extra set of tableware, and today I prepared beer to welcome newcomers."
The girl took out three soda cans as if offering treasures.
The green-robed girl turned her head in surprise and said, "Did you take out the last three cans of wine?"
"Yeah, I said something wrong just now, so this should be regarded as an apology." The girl in white smiled at Gu Qingshan.
Her face suddenly sank, and she said again: "If your fish is not delicious, then I won't give you wine."
Gu Qingshan smiled, took the big fish out of the pot, put it on a plate, and brought it to the table.
"I'm not familiar with the fish in Huangquan. It's the first time I cook it today. Let's try it." He said.
The girl in white couldn't wait to move her chopsticks, picking up some fish meat.
She was stunned there.
The green-robed girl also put away the fishing rod, sat down, and asked hopefully, "What's the matter? Isn't it delicious? It smells delicious."
The girl in white patted the table and cheered, "It's so delicious! I haven't eaten such delicious fish for a long time."
"Ah, is that so? I'll try it too." The green-robed girl said hastily.
The two chatted while eating.
"This soup is also good."
"Well, this piece is for you, as a reward for your meritorious fishing."
"It's so delicious. I can eat a big bowl of rice with just this fish."
"me too."
The two ate for a while, and suddenly stopped together, turning their heads to look at Gu Qingshan.
I saw Gu Qingshan resting his chin on his hand, sitting next to him and smiling.
"Why don't you eat?" the green-robed girl asked.
"I've already eaten before I came here, so I'm not hungry." Gu Qingshan said.
The girl in white handed over a can of beer, and praised: "You are a good person, willing to join our Eighteen Hells, and you cook good food, I have to drink one with you."
"Yes, let's celebrate your joining." The green-robed girl said.
"cheers!"
The three of them drank one, put down their glasses, and felt closer to each other.
The green-robed girl raised her glass again and said, "I am the God of Soul Seduction, and my younger sister is the God of Desperation. Usually, this is called Tai Shiren. Uncle, you can call me Xiao Lang in the future. As for my younger sister, you can call her—"
The girl in white had her mouth full of rice, and said vaguely, "Liuli."
"Understood, you can call me Rhodes instead of uncle." Gu Qingshan said.
"Uncle, be kind."
"right."
The two women nodded together, expressing that they would stick to their point of view.
Gu Qingshan smiled and said: "Follow you."
He picked up the wine and took a sip, the wind blowing from the River of Forgetfulness almost made him forget about those overwhelmed things.
The sky suddenly became brighter.
Gu Qingshan looked up and saw dozens of rays of light appearing on the far-reaching sky.
These rays of light dragged a long tail flame, and Qi Qifei fell into the River of Forgetfulness, and gray and dark lead clouds rose on the river surface, which was magnificent for a while.
"How can there be so many shooting stars in the underworld?"
Gu Qingshan was puzzled.
The two women had already put down their bowls and chopsticks, and their faces changed to serious expressions, with a bit of sadness hidden.
"Uncle, you don't know, someone died in the battle outside." Xiao Lang said.
"Huh? War?"
Gu Qingshan looked at Wangchuan, and saw that the flow of the river gradually accelerated, washing away the corpses that had just floated up.
"Yeah, the war has become more and more intense recently, and more and more gods and dead people have died." Liuli said.
Gu Qingshan was surprised and said: "——No, the gods and dead people in Huangquan will die too?"
"Those who have already died will naturally not die again, but they will forget what happened here and go to Wangchuan to reincarnate." Xiao Lang said.
Gu Qingshan was silent.
That's right, or this is the normal rule of hell.
The reason why the group of dead people under him did not die in the world was actually an extremely special situation.
The prison-suppressing ghost king's rod, the great merit, the laws of hell, the merged world, and the short time of innocence before reincarnation, all of these together constitute the most magical moment.
It is basically impossible to reproduce that scene now.
Otherwise, the Six Paths of Samsara would have been invincible long ago.
but……
Who is the Underworld fighting against?
Gu Qingshan asked this question directly.
"I don't know, the other mysterious departments have never told us about it." Xiao Lang said.
"I think the whole of Huangquan has been mobilized. You don't know about such a big war?" Gu Qingshan said in surprise.
Liu Li said: "Every task is required to be kept secret, and the participants must not disclose a single word, otherwise they will immediately lose their wits—so of course we, the gatekeepers of hell, don't know anything."
Xiao Lang sighed and said, "Don't look, let's continue drinking."
Liuli raised his glass and said, "Yes, there are only three of us, and we are responsible for guarding the hell. The frontline matters have nothing to do with us."
Gu Qingshan said: "But if this continues, the merit will be..."
The two women fell silent.
If you don't participate in the war and don't work hard, you have no merit.
Merit is everything in the six worlds.
Even here in Gu Qingshan, the highest sequence can exchange merits into world power for him to display world-like spiritual skills.
"Is there really no mission for hell?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The two women shook their heads together.
"Uncle, to tell you the truth, the two of us are the subordinate gods of the ghost king of Huangquan, without the ghost king, we have no way to change the status quo of hell." Xiao Lang said.
"What can the ghost king do?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"He can assign the dead, throw the dead into hell, replenish the power of hell, and order the dead to do something." Xiao Lang said.
Liuli also said: "If the ghost king is here, we may receive some missions."
Gu Qingshan pondered for a while.
Now I am no longer the ghost king of Huangquan.
——But I am the Death God of the River of Life and Death.
The ghost king of Huangquan and the god of death, do they have anything in common?
He stretched out his hand, pointed to the open space and said, "Wake up, sleeper in the river of death."
The earth is loose.
The dead one by one stood up from the ground.
Gu Qingshan knocked on the table, and said to the two women: "Look, these dead people in the river of death, can I let them join hell?"
The two women were already stunned.
"I remember that if the dead have not exhausted their karma, even if they die outside, they have to continue to go back to hell. Does this make our hell attractive?" Gu Qingshan asked again.
Xiao Lang didn't slow down a bit, and said in a stuttering way: "Ah, the truth is this, but—"
Liuli continued: "But after they join hell, they will suffer in hell because of their own karma, and they will not be able to participate in the war in Huangquan."
Gu Qingshan thought so too.
The three were silent for a while.
Gu Qingshan thought about it again and again, and frowned: "Is there nothing we can do?"
Xiao Lang and Liu Li looked at each other.
Liuli tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Unless..."
"What?" Gu Qingshan asked.
Liuli said: "Unless someone wakes up the prison-suppressing ghost king's rod and restarts the ghost king's struggle for supremacy."
