The reward of this time of overcoming the yin was to meet the old Monument King, but he made it very clear that if he wanted to pray for a long life, he had to get a formal application before he could do it.
Therefore, I must take action first and become an official disciple.
Everything seemed to be going very logically, and I remembered the dream I had before: the dark military formation, the soaring flag, and the black-armored general on horseback.
Undoubtedly, that is my old Monument King.
With the help of my great-aunt and Huang Naughty, my return journey went smoothly. However, when I reached a fork in the road, the fog came up and blocked the sky.
We couldn't tell the direction for a while. Huang Naughty said that this is the three-way intersection to return to the human world, but in order to prevent the souls from entering the underworld without permission, heavy fog will appear every once in a while, blocking the sky and making it impossible for people to find the way back to the sun. .
If you are not careful, you will go astray and it will be difficult to return to the human world.
At this moment, a young man slowly walked out of the mist, stood at the intersection, and pointed behind him.
"Here, run forward for just one stick of incense and you'll be back in the human world."
This man looked vaguely familiar. My great-aunt told me that he had helped me before. His name was Wu Xiaoshun, and he was the sixth child. Unfortunately, he died in the thirteenth year of his life, and he had stayed in the hall ever since.
Only then did I realize that he was the underworld immortal that I invited when I first invited an immortal. He was also the one who came to help and caused Mr. Chang to suffer a stroke, so that Sister Yuan and I were able to save the day.
Seeing these immortals who had helped me show up one by one, I felt quite emotional. I wanted to say a few words of politeness to him, but he ignored me.
"If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it back to the human world. You've been in the underworld for too long. If you don't go back, this golden rooster won't be able to hold on anymore."
Wu Xiaoshun's words reminded me that when I looked at the golden rooster again, I saw that the whole thing was wilted, its eyes were dull and listless, as if it might fall asleep at any time, and it was almost impossible to run.
I didn't dare to delay, so I nodded to Wu Xiaoshun and said, "Thank you very much. Let's talk later, but...which generation are you from, and what should I call you?"
I have to figure this out. Even though he is young, it is because he died young. In terms of seniority, he must be much taller than me.
He raised his head, straightened his chest slightly, and nodded himself with his thumb.
"Just call me Master Six."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Liu!"
I had no time to say anything more, so I bowed my hand to him and walked towards the road behind him.
Thanks to Wu Xiaoshun's help, I kept walking forward on that road, and another light appeared in front of me. After walking for about a stick of incense, I reached the end.
One step out of the darkness.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the human world in front of me.
Seeing that I woke up, everyone ran over and Uncle Ma helped me up. I was still a little confused and it took me a while to recover.
I first glanced at the golden rooster next to me. It was already lying on the ground unable to move, gasping for air and unable to lift its head.
Looking at the other people, I don’t know why, but they feel like they are in a dream, which is very unreal.
Where is the human world?
When Uncle Ma saw that I was silent, he said, "Good guy, how far have you run away? If you don't come back, you will be almost exhausted. I'm worried for you."
Hu Ma said with a smile: "Don't worry, just take a moment, drink some water, and regain your soul."
There is a saying that after returning from yin to yang, you have to take a sip of water from the human world before the soul can completely return to the body.
At this time, I felt that my mouth was dry, so I took the water handed over by Hu Ma and drank it all in one breath, and then I regained some energy.
I took a long breath and then said: "I met my old Monument King. He said he could help, but I have to make a formal statement because he has a public official position, so... I have to get out. Only then are you qualified to be on the list.”
In fact, Hu Ma and Uncle Ma can do such things as the above, but it is useless for them. The old Monument King only recognizes me.
Because after I take action, the old King Bei will be the leader of my church. I will tell him that he will do things as a matter of course.
But if someone else goes to the watch, they won't be able to go to him at all...
After hearing what I said, Uncle Ma touched his nose, grinned, and said nothing.
It seemed that he had anticipated today.
But Hu Ma shook her head and said, "It's not as easy as you think to take action. The four beams and eight pillars are not in place yet, and the master has not been found. How can you take action?"
Uncle Ma said, "It's over if you accept him as your apprentice. Didn't you always praise him to me and want to accept him? Why did you regret it?"
Hu Ma smiled and said: "It's not that I regret it, it's that he doesn't agree. This kind of thing can't be just found by just finding a master. Even if I set up a church for him, I can't be his master. The fate is not right."
The two of them were talking, and I smiled bitterly: "Time is urgent, so I'll just say it. In fact, I have already sensed my master before. Although I didn't see her face, only her back, I knew that she should That’s... He Yuchen."
Hu Ma was slightly startled and looked at Uncle Ma.
"Are you sure it's really He Yuchen?"
"I'm sure that although she is not old, but... I feel that my master is her."
Hu Ma looked a little regretful. She looked away and took a deep breath.
"She has been out for three years and has never accepted any apprentices. If you insist, you can go find her when the sun comes up tomorrow morning."
"When the sun comes out, where can I find her?"
Hu Ma gave me an address and asked me to go here to find He Yuchen.
But Hu’s mother was really nice to me. She said that if He Yuchen disagreed, I could still come back to her. Even if I didn’t become a disciple, she could still establish a title for me.
She said that if I only establish a temple, then she can be my master. If I want to practice, it will not conflict with me to worship the master.
Everything is subject to my choice.
In fact, at this moment, I had a desire to ask Ma Hu to help me set up a church.
Since I left home, the first person who was kind to me was Sister Yuan, and the second person was Mother Hu.
Sister Yuan has given me a lot of care in life, but Mother Hu has been guiding me in my life path.
But as soon as this thought emerged, Hu Ma's words came to mind again.
Why did Hu Ma say that if you become He Yuchen's apprentice, you will have to bear her karma? And the words she hesitated to say reminded me of what Uncle Ma once said.
"Your first master can only be He Yuchen. No matter what conditions she proposes, you have to agree. This is fate. You can't escape."
This voice seemed to be that of the man wearing a red cloak who came to me in the last dream.
And it sounds very determined and stern.
As fate would have it, this sentence strengthened my heart!
So I went home, got up before dawn the next day, and went to the address Hu Ma mentioned.
It was a Buddhist temple in a certain community.
The community was small and very quiet. There was a light snowfall that morning. The sun rose and its warm light shone on the snow, reflecting the shimmering light of the Buddhist temple.
The Buddhist temple has no name and looks like an ordinary house from the outside.
There is only a sutra picture posted on the lintel.
The door was unlocked, so I pushed it open gently and stepped in.
There are many Buddha statues enshrined in the house, and the sandalwood incense lingers like mist.
Then, I saw a white fox crawling in front of the Buddha.
