Without further delay, after getting ready, Huang Donglai sat cross-legged in the formation, closed his eyes, and began to chant the incantation.
When you close your eyes and meditate in the formation, the yin and yang will appear outside the formation.
When Huang Donglai opened his eyes again, the rice shop he was in had disappeared.
He quickly stood up and looked around. He saw only a layer of boundless darkness, and bits and pieces of green phosphorus fire dotted in the darkness. The bright ground flashed.
Of course, although the rice shop is gone, the formations drawn by Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie's "corpse" are still on the ground. In addition, a furnace and Yi Jing and Yi Ling also appeared at the edge of the formation at this time.
"Holy shit, it actually succeeded?" Huang Donglai couldn't believe it when he saw this change.
Don't look at the smooth operation he just performed. In fact, it was his first time to do this in the forum. He was not sure whether this method was useful or not. He was just holding his dead grandson. The idea of being a living grandson is just a gamble.
"Damn... Is it easy for me to do it for my brother?" Now that the formation really took effect, Huang Donglai quickly accepted the reality. While cursing, he picked up the copper beside the formation. Mirror and Sanqing bell.
He carried the bronze mirror in his arms and tied the bell around his waist.
After taking these two things, he glanced around again and found a little red among the dots of green fire, and then ran quickly in that direction.
At this moment, the space Huang Donglai is in is a place where yin and yang meet.
Some of the souls wandering in this space still have a "way back" in theory.
For example, some people temporarily held their breath after hanging or drowning; some people were seriously ill and their lives were hanging by a thread; and some people seemed to have died suddenly and even entered the coffin, but in fact they were just in a deep coma... like These wandering souls, if someone can save their "souls" within a certain period of time, they can "return to their souls".
However, once these souls wandering on the edge of life and death are caught by ghosts in this space and sent to the gate of hell, they will officially change from "souls" to "ghosts". At that time, There is no possibility of returning Yang.
So the description of this place in folklore is - the soil of the tombs at your feet, the clouds of incense and ashes above your head, once you fall into the hands of the Yin soldiers, you will always go to the gate of hell.
So what’s going on with Sun Yixie?
He is actually much stronger than other wandering souls, because there is a "soul guard" near his body to help him immobilize the seven souls, so his body has not been lost after leaving the soul. The "spirit", in other words, the "life" is still there... As long as his soul can find a way back, it can directly return to Yang.
Right now, Huang Donglai is doing this just to recover Brother Sun's soul. As long as he can bring Brother Sun's wandering soul back to the formation before the three sticks of incense are burned out, let him "lie down" "Go back" to your own body, and Brother Sun will be able to come back to life.
Dingle bell——Ding bell—ding bell—
As Huang Donglai ran, the Sanqing bell on his waist also rang.
This object is a Taoist magic weapon, which can be used to exorcise gods and ghosts. Its ringing sound is clear and sweet to human ears, but to the ears of evil spirits, it is frightening and frightening.
Someone may want to ask, if Brother Huang brought this thing, didn't he also drive away Brother Sun's soul? Then how can we find him?
Everyone, I have to explain this.
First of all, in the saying that Taoist magic weapons and spells can "drive away gods and ghosts", the two words "drive" actually do not mean "drive away", but "drive" mean.
It’s just that many times, people ask Taoist priests to deal with ghosts for the purpose of “driving away”, so it is gradually regarded as “driving away”; but in fact, there is nothing in “driving” That includes "driving", and there are many more options.
Secondly, as we just said above, the soul has to pass through the gate of hell to become a ghost, so Brother Sun is not a "ghost" yet, he is just a "wandering soul", and the wandering soul is still a human soul. , so the sound of the Sanqing Bell will not have any negative effect on him.
Seeing this, someone must ask again, since this bell is ineffective against wandering souls, why does Huang Donglai bring it with him?
It’s simple, because there are more than just wandering souls in this place.
Those underworld soldiers and ghosts are not vegetarians. If you bump into two of them while wandering around here, and they chain them up and take them away, who are you going to reason with?
But if you have this bell on your body, the ghost messengers will understand when they hear the ringing. This is a cultivator coming to the underworld to borrow a way. If you can, just do it for convenience.
In addition, besides wandering souls and ghosts, there is at least one other thing here...
…………
“I’m going to...why? After chasing for so long, I feel that the distance has not shortened..." Huang Donglai didn't know how long he had been chasing. He just ran after the only red light in his sight, but the strange sense of distance in this space made it difficult for him to judge how long it would take. Only then can we catch up with the opponent.
"If I go on, I won't be hanging here too, right?" As time went by, Huang Donglai felt more and more guilty.
When he first learned these techniques from Mianyinzi on the mountain, Mianyinzi told him - "It's easy to fight a demon, but it's hard to deal with a ghost."
The demon is gone again. No matter how powerful it is, it is a thing from the underworld. If you fight it, you will only fight it. But ghosts are different. No matter how weak a ghost is, it is still a thing from the underworld. When you deal with a ghost, you not only have to deal with it itself, but also with it. The yin and yang laws between heaven and earth confront each other.
Not to mention, "ghosts" were once humans... No matter how cunning a demon is, it is not as sinister as a human being, and no matter how cruel a demon is, it is not as cruel as a human being.
At this time, Huang Donglai used this technique of crossing yin and yang, chasing souls in the underworld, which was an act against nature, and naturally came with corresponding risks.
To put it more bluntly: after the three sticks of incense are burned, if he can’t rushIf he goes back, he is afraid that he will become a wandering ghost here like Brother Sun.
Just when Huang Donglai was thinking about whether to abandon this bitch named Sun and withdraw himself, suddenly...
"Hey, why are you here?" A familiar voice sounded.
Huang Donglai recognized Sun Yixie's voice as soon as he heard it. He immediately turned his head and saw Sun Yixie standing two meters away from him: "Damn! I found you!" "
"Looking for me?" Sun Yixie looked at him with a puzzled face, "What are you talking about? Weren't we drinking together just now, and then...then...eh?" As he spoke, he seemed to be unable to remember what happened next, "It's strange... I can't remember how I got here."
"Hi! Lost my soul. That's it." Huang Donglai said, "Don't ask, just follow me. I'll explain it to you slowly on the way."
"Oh, okay" Sun Yixie nodded. Just followed him.
After finding Brother Sun, Huang Donglai breathed a sigh of relief. When he ran back, his mood improved: "Humph, you owe me a favor this time. This is not It’s just a question of one or two chicken pots.”
“Oh, you can eat whatever you want,” Sun Yixie replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Donglai's steps slowed down.
Following that, Huang Donglai’s expression also changed.
"Who are you?" After a breath, Huang Donglai stopped, turned around suddenly, and asked with a guarded look.
The "Sun Yixie" was stunned for a moment when he was asked this question, but then he smiled and said: "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you? It's me, Sun Yixie."
"Who told you my surname is Huang, and who told you Brother Sun's name?" Huang Donglai said coldly.
"What are you talking about?" The smile on the face of "Sun Yixie" has become a little stiff, "I am me, don't be suspicious, and keep delaying like this..."< /p>
"You seem to know very well that I can't afford to delay." Huang Donglai interrupted, "I don't think I told you anything like 'time is limited', right?"
"Brother Huang, I..." The man seemed to have not given up hope and planned to continue acting.
But Huang Donglai didn't give him a chance. He took out the bronze mirror from his arms and pointed it at the other person's face.
"Ah——"
With a strange roar, the fake Sun Yixie was immediately revealed and transformed into a humanoid monster with a vague face and a stooped body. He crawled and ran away.
Then what is this?
This monster is called "Old Ghost".
The ghost ghost is not a ghost, but a wandering spirit that has existed for a very long time. Because of its cunning nature, it has never been caught by the ghost messenger, but it has long since lost its body to return to the yang, so Wandering around in this place where yin and yang meet, it gradually transformed into a monster that was more powerful than ordinary wandering souls.
Water ghosts and water ghosts are similar. Water ghosts will drag dead ghosts into the water to replace themselves, and then they can be reincarnated. However, water ghosts specifically look for those wandering souls who have just died and try to steal their souls. Opportunities can be used to "resurrect the soul through the corpse"; in ancient times, legend has it that some people became seriously ill or experienced recovery from life and death, and their temperament changed drastically from then on because they were robbed by ghosts.
Of course, this kind of feudal superstitious nonsense, including some depictions of fighting between gods and demons and ghosts and fairy foxes that have appeared or not yet appeared in this book, you can just have heard of it and read it, the novel is a joke That’s it, don’t take it seriously.
For example, take the part about the ghost, do you think it comes from ancient books or folklore? I actually made it up while sitting on the toilet for ten minutes.
What? Do you feel cheated? Then you might as well think about it, those ancient classics and folklore that talk about gods and strange things were compiled by ancient people. In a hundred and eighty years, I will also be an ancient person. Isn’t it the same?
Back to the subject...
It didn’t take Huang Donglai a long time to see through that idiot. After all, after this kind of meeting, he didn’t say a single curse word, didn’t raise a bar, and readily admitted that he owed It is not difficult to spot a guy who doesn't promise to return other people's things, and calls him "brother Huang" instead of "sex".
Besides, calm down and think about it. Under the premise that it is clear that Brother Sun's soul fire is marked by "Shou Po" and looks red from a distance, Huang Donglai should not have gone there in the first place. Of course, it was mainly because time was tight and he was too anxious. Otherwise, he should have tested it first and then turned back.
No matter what, Huang Donglai could only go to the red light again and quickened his pace again.
Unexpectedly... this time he quickly arrived near the target.
It turned out that the place where he met the ghost just now was not far from the real location of Brother Sun. The ghost had intervened before Huang Donglai could catch up with Sun Yixie. If it hadn't been for him, Huang Donglai might have been able to see Brother Sun himself if he had chased him for a few dozen seconds.
"Damn you! Let me go! I'm not dead! I don't accept it!"
"You're so presumptuous! Are you allowed to run wild when you get here? How can we take the wrong person?" ? Come with us!"
"Mao! There are so many people with the same name, how do you know you've got the right one? Check again. My name is Sun Yixie, and I have a brother named Huang Donglai. He is known as Xudong Lao Xian, and he is very familiar with the Jade Emperor. If you don’t believe me, just ask!”
“Ask you! Besides, we brothers are under the control of the King of Hell!” !"
"Then let Mr. Yama come out! I want to confront him on the spot!"
Huang Donglai listened to Brother Sun arguing with the two ghosts. , one side has arrived behind those three people.
In the process, Brother Huang’s question about how the ghost knew the names "Sun Yixie" and "Huang Donglai" has been solved...
"Okay, okay, Brother Sun, it's okay. It doesn't mean that anyone named Sun can cause trouble in hell. I can't help you no matter how much you talk nonsense." When Huang Donglai came closer, Then he saw it clearly... At this time, Sun Yixie was being dragged forward by two ghosts, one on the left and one on the right, while Brother Sun was cursing and resisting with all his strength.
"Huh?" When Sun Yixie heard this voice, he immediately turned around and started to curse two seconds later, "What the hell! Why did you come here? I almost got hurt!"
p>
Seeing this, the two ghosts turned around and looked at Huang Donglai.
We have to make it clear here that these two are not black and white, they are just ordinary ghosts. There are thousands of ghosts in this world, and there are only two people, the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master, and most people can’t be together at all. If you can't run into them, unless you are the evil spirit transformed into the kind of evil person who brings disaster to the country and the people, then you can possibly trouble the "Top Ten Evil Handsome" level bosses to catch you.
"Huh... Taoist priest." The ghost on the left glanced at Huang Donglai and said with an unhappy face, "Are you the Huang Donglai this boy said?"
"Exactly..." Huang Donglai was quite polite, "Xiaodao pays homage to the two superior officers."
The ghost officer on the right also sneered and said in a strange way: "Ha! Xiaodao? You're too polite. ?" He paused, glanced at Sun Yixie, and continued, "How did I hear that 'first there is Hongjun, then there is heaven, and the old immortal Xudong is still ahead'?"
"How dare you, how dare you..." Huang Donglai knew that this sentence was what Brother Sun said when he was trying to scare others without using anything, so he replied, "This brother of mine is illiterate and has no knowledge or skills. He doesn't know what he is talking about." , If there is any offense, I hope you don’t act like fools.”
The next second, before the two ghosts spoke, Sun Yixie became anxious: “Mao! Damn you! Huang Xudong, you have a bachelor’s degree! Are you jealous of my intelligence?”
In his desperation, even Huang Donglai was here The name of the other universe was given. Of course, because "Old Immortal Xudong" was mentioned just now, the two ghosts didn't pay attention.
"Look, I'm right." Huang Donglai was calm and used Brother Sun's words to push things along.
The two ghosts looked at each other in disbelief, each thinking deeply about it.
In fact, even if Huang Donglai didn't show up, these two people already felt that Sun Yixie had been talking nonsense and that his mind was not normal. At this moment, when they saw him talking like this to his brother who risked his life to save them, they Naturally, I am more convinced.
To make a long story short, after helping Brother Sun to exonerate him, Huang Donglai told the two ghosts that Sun Yixie had not yet reached the end of his life, and his departure from the soul was due to the "catastrophe of death."
The two men looked at the "Village Sword" on Huang Donglai's back, and obviously saw the origin of this thing, so they believed him; they unlocked Sun Yixie's shackles , said a few words like "You should take care of yourself in the future", and then left.
As for Huang Donglai, out of caution, he did notI forgot to use the bronze mirror to see if this Brother Sun was real.
After confirming everything, Sun and Huang ran towards the "smell of incense" as if they were playing with their lives.
Only they can smell the scent of this incense, because their bodies are still in the rice shop. This is the only way to guide them back.
However... they have really delayed for too long.
When the two ran back to the formation, they saw that two of the three incense sticks in the incense burner had been extinguished. The remaining one was not extinguished because the incense itself was larger than the incense burner. The other two have grown a little bit longer, and even the little bit like a fingernail... is about to fall off now.
