Chapter 292: The Heart of the Man Behind the Scenes, the Fortress Ambush
Fengdu Daojun and Rensheng Daojun looked up and down, constantly sizing up the huge underground space in front of them, taking action from time to time and constantly repairing it.
It is not appropriate to describe it as an underground space; perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as an underground kingdom.
At this time, Rensheng Daojun kept counting with his fingers and said with a smile: "The time has come. Calculate the time. Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi should be meeting now. Do you want to get involved?"
Fengdu Daojun frowned and said, "Intervene? How? How? Follow them around and act as a babysitter? I'm not interested!"
The benevolent and holy Taoist chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I naturally have no such interest, but we can leave some puzzles or show the saints!"
Fengdu Daojun's brows relaxed at this time, and he asked in doubt: "Mystery? Manifestation of the Divine? What are you planning with all these twists and turns in your mind?"
"Do you still remember the pair of mercury boys in the Kanto Fortress?"
"Of course I remember. Are you planning to take advantage of them?"
"Haha, you and I are like this and like this..."
The benevolent and holy Taoist Lord leaned close to the ear of the Fengdu Taoist Lord and whispered something.
"No, do you really want to play like this?"
The Taoist Lord of Fengdu looked at the Taoist Lord of Rensheng with a strange look, as if he was a rare villain in the ages.
The previous script about the eighteen levels of hell was already outrageous, and now there is another plot like this, great, great, the ultimate villain, right?
The benevolent and holy Taoist smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't this just laying a foreshadowing for this Human Emperor's Tomb? This will make it easier for them to accept it, right?"
Fengdu Daojun nodded at Rensheng Daojun and said, "You are really bad, so bad that pus is oozing out of you!"
"Thank you so much, are you opposed to that?"
"No, I agree. Please let me perfect this plan!"
"Hahaha!"
The two of them began to plot like little foxes.
All I can say is that birds of a feather flock together!
I don’t know if Lu Chun regretted letting the two of them come to this Ghost Blows Out the Light world together.

Inside the Kanto Fortress.
Hu Bayi and Wang Fatty lit candles around the coffin in the storage room, and then began to pry the coffin open. It took a lot of effort to pry it open.
There is also an extremely gorgeous coffin inside the sarcophagus, with colorful patterns painted with gold lacquer on both ends, the sides and the coffin lid, depicting some auspicious mythical beasts, such as cranes and unicorns.
There is a star map of the twenty-eight constellations on the coffin lid, and a circle of golden cloud-shaped patterns surrounds the bottom of the coffin. The colors are still as bright as new after thousands of years.
Fatty Wang rubbed his hands and asked Hu Bayi to open the coffin together. After prying it open, they found a dried corpse lying inside. Apart from bones, there was nothing left inside.
Just when Fatty Wang was feeling sorry for himself, Hu Bayi suddenly discovered that there were two lifelike children sitting cross-legged at the feet of the mummy.
Huba frowned and looked at the two boys in the corner of the coffin. They were so lifelike that he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Old Hu, this is impossible. Logically, they should have turned into bone residue. Are these two kids fake?" Fatty Wang was also surprised.
Hu Bayi, however, looked serious and knowledgeable: "This is mercury spot, it is highly poisonous."
"Then what I just saw, were they these two kids?" Hu Bayi glanced at Fatty Wang and said, "You are scaring yourself!"
"Brother Hu, how come there is mercury on them?" Yingzi asked while standing far away from the coffin.
Hu Bayi stood up, his mouth twitched a few times, but he still told the truth: "My grandfather once said that these boys and girls had mercury poured into their heads when they were alive, and then their bodies were coated with mercury powder after they died, just like specimens. After thousands of years, their bodies will not rot."
"And if you want to maintain the appearance of a corpse, you can only pump it in from a living person, because dead people don't have blood circulation, so it can't be pumped in..."
As Hu Bayi spoke, Fatty Wang and Yingzi felt uncomfortable and could only curse inwardly.
"This is too cruel!"
And just as the three of them were cursing.
The Taoist Lord of Fengdu and the Taoist Lord of Rensheng came directly to a place not far from the three protagonists, but because the two used their heavenly magical powers to isolate the inside and the outside, they did not notice them.
"Do you really want to do this?"
"Why, now that the time has come, you can't bear it anymore?"
After all, what the two did next was indeed a bit "cruel"!
Fengdu Daojun shook his head and said, "Why are you so reluctant? We are going to pick up these two boys to enjoy a good life, but it is a big blow to Hu Bayi and others."
The two men's golden dragon pupils lit up, and they could clearly see the souls of the pair of boys in the coffin. Although a thousand years had passed, their hearts were still young, their natures had not changed, and they had never done anything evil.
At this time, Rensheng Daojun sighed and said, "How about I do this and you don't interfere?"
Unexpectedly, Fengdu Daojun became anxious and said, "Didn't you agree to let me show my divine power and preach? Why did you change your mind?"
Rensheng Daojun looked at Fengdu Daojun and smiled, as if he had grasped his pulse.
"Then get ready!"
As he spoke, two phantoms, Black and White Impermanence, appeared in the hands of the Benevolent and Holy Taoist Lord.
A man with a kind face, wearing a white hat, a white robe, a white belt around his waist, holding a mourning stick, and a string of bells hanging on his left arm. He is always smiling, tall and thin, with a pale face and a long tongue. The four words "One sight brings wealth" are written on the official hat on his head.
Hei Wuchang has a serious face and a short and fat stature. He wears a black hat, a black robe, a black belt around his waist, a soul-locking chain in his hand, a string of tokens hanging on his left arm, a fierce face, and the words "Peace in the World" are written on his official hat.
Black and White Impermanence are responsible for capturing living souls and escorting ghosts to the underworld for trial. They also travel between the world of the living and the world of the dead, holding iron chains and ropes and walking between the two worlds.
As soon as the Black and White Impermanence appeared, they bowed and kowtowed, saying, "Black and White Impermanence, greetings to your two highnesses!"
"Stand up!"
Fengdu Daojun told the two what they were going to do, and instructed them: "Make it miserable, the more miserable the better, but don't really hurt the pair of boys."
After all, these two boys are servants that the two men have taken a fancy to. They will stay in this Ghost Blows Out the Light world for a while, so there must be someone to serve tea and water.
Thousand-year-old ghost child, this position is not low!
Moreover, the two boys were able to keep their ghosts alive, which must be due to their extraordinary qualities. Perhaps they were gifted and, under their training, could be transformed into ghost immortals, one of the five categories of immortals.
After hearing this, Heibai Wuchang bowed and assured, "Please rest assured, Your Highnesses. We have been catching ghosts for a long time. We are very familiar with it and naturally know the seriousness of it."
"So, let's go!"
