I looked at Su Huanxing and felt that she wanted to talk more with Li Yunxi, maybe to learn more about the outside world.
I nodded: "You go ahead, I have something to discuss with grandma."
Su Huanxing glanced at me and seemed a little hesitant, but finally agreed.
She and Li Yunxi left the yard together. I turned around and walked towards grandma, my heart filled with longing and worry for grandpa.
"Grandma, is there anything else you haven't told me about grandpa?" I asked.
Grandma sighed and looked at me, her eyes full of complicated emotions: “Science, Grandpa’s situation is more complicated than we imagined.
There's one thing I haven't told you. "
I was shocked: "What happened?"
"The only way to save your grandfather is to go to Yanshan." Grandma said slowly.
I was shocked: "Yan Shan? What place is that?"
"Yanshan is one of the Nine Yin and Ten Grounds, the passage connecting hell and the human world.
If we can enter hell from there, we may be able to find grandpa's soul and have a chance to bring him back to the world. "There was a trace of uncertainty in grandma's voice.
I clenched my fists: "I have to go, for Grandpa."
"Grandma, I need to know more about Yanshan and Hell." I took a deep breath, sat down, and was ready to listen to Grandma's story.
Grandma nodded, her vision became misty, as if she was lost in memories: "Yan Shan, one of the Nine Yins and Ten Lands.
This is a place full of mystery and danger.
It is said that there is a gate leading to hell deep in Yan Mountain.
But to find this door, you need to go through countless tests. "
I listened attentively. Grandma's words seemed to open the door to an unknown world.
“Hell is different from the place full of flames that people imagine.
There is a world full of darkness, filled with souls full of sin and pain.
There are many hell judges and ghost messengers in hell, who execute the judgment and torture of souls. "
My heart trembled, and I couldn't help but feel a little bit of fear.
"The danger of Yanshan is not just because it is connected to hell.
The place is full of sinister atmosphere, as well as all kinds of ferocious ghosts and unknown traps.
According to legend, there is a monster called the "Black Mist Ghost" deep in Yan Mountain, which can swallow people's souls. "
I asked nervously: "Then how can we safely enter hell and find grandpa's soul?"
Grandma sighed: “This requires very advanced Taoism and powerful magic power.
After entering hell, you have to face the judgment of the hell judge and various difficulties.
The chances of success are very low and extremely dangerous. "
I fell silent, filled with worry.
But for my grandfather, I am willing to face all difficulties and dangers.
"Grandma, no matter what, I have to give it a try." My voice was firm.
Grandma looked at me, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes: "Okay, I will help you prepare.
But you can't be idle. During this time, work hard to improve your Taoism and enhance your magic power. "
At noon, Su Huanxing and Li Yunxi came back, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.
At the dinner table, I took a deep breath and finally expressed my decision to go to Yanshan.
After hearing what I said, both Li Yunxi and Su Huanxing showed surprised expressions.
Li Yunxi immediately said: "Ma Xue, this is too dangerous, I want to go with you."
Su Huanxing also nodded in agreement: "I'll go too, I can't let you take risks alone."
I looked at them, and my heart was filled with emotion, but I knew that the trip to Yanshan was full of dangers and there was no room for error.
I shook my head and refused: "This trip is too dangerous, and the large number of people is disadvantageous.
You wait at home for me to come back and protect yourselves. "
Seeing my firm attitude, they were worried, but in the end they could only agree.
In the next few days, I began to work hard to practice the talismans and Taoist techniques in the Tianshi inheritance.
I chose a quiet place, which is an open space behind the village, surrounded by ancient trees. The environment is quiet and very suitable for practice.
Every day, I silently recite mantras and draw talismans there.
As time goes by, I feel that my Taoism is getting better and better, and the power of the talismans is getting stronger and stronger.
At the same time, grandma was also busy at home, preparing various self-defense things for me.
She made me a special protective garment embroidered with various protective charms to ward off evil forces.
She also prepared some special props.
For example, there are spiritual lamps that can illuminate the darkness, sachets that can dispel evil spirits, and some specially made talismanic water and elixirs.
Whenever night falls, I will return home and study the map of Yanshan and the information about hell with my grandma.
We discussed various situations that we might encounter and constantly formulated strategies to deal with them.
During this period, Su Huanxing and Li Yunxi were not idle. They helped with what they could at home.
For example, preparing my luggage and making some simple health medicines.
Although they cannot travel together, their efforts make me feel extremely warm.
As the day of departure gets closer, my heart becomes heavier, but also more determined.
On a sunny morning, I packed my luggage and prepared to set off for Yanshan.
I feel both expectant and anxious. I don’t know what kind of things I will encounter if I go here.
Can I successfully find Yan Shan and rescue grandpa? I don't know, but I have to go.
I stood at the door of my house, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the atmosphere of my hometown.
At this time, Su Huanxing gently called me aside.
We came to the kitchen, where the sunlight just shined on her face through the window, and she looked particularly beautiful and gentle.
She held a simple jade pendant in her hand. The jade pendant was warm in color and had a faint luster.
"Science, this is a jade pendant passed down from my ancestors. It is said that it can protect people's safety throughout their lives."
Her voice was full of affection, and her eyes revealed reluctance and concern.
I took the jade pendant and felt its warmth and weight, and my heart was filled with emotion: "Thank you, Calling the Star.
With it, it's like having you by my side, I will wear it at all times. "
I hung the jade pendant around my neck and kissed her forehead gently.
There was a faint blush on her face and she smiled shyly.
Then, I turned to grandma and Li Yunxi.
Grandma's eyes were full of worry: "Science, you must be careful. If it is too dangerous, come back. Home will always be your haven."
Li Yunxi said jokingly: "Don't worry, I will help you take good care of your wife. You can concentrate on completing your task."
I couldn't help laughing, but I was extremely grateful for their support and understanding.
I bowed deeply to them, then turned around and set foot on the road leading to Yanshan.
When I left the village, I looked back and saw them standing at the door, watching me off.
