"You are also a member of Xuanmen. I can feel the aura on your body, and it feels like I have seen you before."
The man in black robe suddenly looked at me and said.
"I... am indeed a member of Xuanmen."
I nodded and said with a little embarrassment: "But strictly speaking, I am actually a descendant of the Xuanmen Feng Shui lineage."
"I know that Xuanmen later split into five branches, but your Fengshui branch is a direct descendant of Xuanmen, and both share the surname Li."
The man in black robe nodded and said.
"Then...which department of Xuanmen do you belong to?"
I raised my hand and gestured as I spoke. I really didn't know how to define his identity.
"I am a Soul Crosser, a direct descendant of Xuanmen. I do not belong to any lineage. After Li Xuan, the founder of the Xuanmen sect, used the Nine Dragon Coffin to suppress the Ghost Realm of the Yellow River, I have been here and have been guarding here for many years."
The man in black robe looked at me and said solemnly.
"You mean that you and the founder of the Xuanmen sect are from the same era?"
I looked at him in disbelief.
Everyone else also looked unconvinced.
If he said that he was a descendant of Xuanmen, or that he was a descendant of several generations, we would probably believe him.
However, the founder of the Xuanmen sect was a figure thousands of years ago. This is still a conservative estimate.
If he was really from that era, how could he be alive now?
After all, old monsters like Xu Sanqiao who have been reincarnated and immortal are not seen everywhere.
"Strictly speaking, I am the eldest disciple of Li Xuan, the founder of the Xuanmen sect. My name is Li Yinyang, and I am specifically responsible for guarding the Yellow River Ghost Territory here."
The man in black robe said and shook his head, "It's a pity that after so many years, more and more grievances have been accumulated, and they can no longer be suppressed. Now that the seal at the entrance to the Yellow River Ghost Domain has been broken again, the Nine Dragon Coffin will not last long. .”
"Is that stone gate really the ghost realm of the underworld?"
When I heard this, I also frowned.
This is equivalent to the fact that the legend has been fulfilled, and the underworld ghost realm really exists.
"good."
Li Yinyang nodded and said: "Behind that stone gate is the legendary Ghost Domain of Huangquan. For thousands of years, all the innocent souls who died in the Yellow River have been suppressed in it. However, as there are more and more of these innocent souls, the seals will naturally become tighter." The more unstable it is.”
"Then how did you do it? Live for thousands of years and never grow old or die?"
I asked all the doubts in everyone's mind at this moment.
"No, I will still grow old and die, but my life soul is integrated with the Nine Dragon Coffin, so when I die, it will give birth to another me, just like giving birth to a newborn. Generally, it’s like reincarnation again and again.”
Li Yinyang raised his hand and gestured as he spoke, "But every time I am reincarnated, my memory will be passed down, so I have always adhered to my responsibilities and mission."
"That can be considered...an alternative kind of immortality, right?"
I looked at Li Yinyang and said somewhat incredulously.
"Yes, it is a kind of immortality, but at the same time, it also binds me, tying me to this boat for eternity, and I cannot be freed."
Li Yinyang shook his head a little lonely as he spoke.
"Then what's going on with the corpses of those in the Xuanmen outside the entrance to the Underworld Ghost Realm?"
I quickly took the opportunity to ask about those ancient corpses, so I could learn more about them.
"Those are all the Xuanmen who died here when they suppressed the Yellow River Ghost Realm."
Li Yinyang sighed as he spoke, and then recalled: "At that time, there were many people with evil intentions who planned to seize the opportunity to seize the dragon's eye. In that battle, no one knew how many people died, and the entire Yellow River was dyed red with blood. Well, what you see now is just the tip of the iceberg. Later, the founder of the sect used dragon eyes to seal the entrance to the ghost realm, and then the underworld ghost realm was completely suppressed."
"It's a pity that someone later took away one of the dragon's eyes. From then on, the seal of the Yellow River Ghost Domain was already unstable. So Master had to use the Nine Dragon Coffin to suppress the Yellow River and add another seal. And I could only Stay here to guard."
Li Yinyang shook his head helplessly as he spoke.
"That longan was probably taken away by the founder of Qimen."
Hearing this, I said thoughtfully.
The entrance to the Underworld Ghost Realm was originally sealed by two longans. Later, one of them was taken to Penglai by Xu Sanqiao, so it was obvious that he took the longan away.
"I don't know either."
Li Yinyang shook his head and said: "Master only said that the person was an old friend at that time, and also said that the longan originally belonged to him and he could just take it away. I never knew who that person was."
"Understood."
I nodded.
Now it’s easy to understand.
When Li Xuan, the founder of Xuanmen, suppressed the Yellow River Ghost Realm, Xuanmen had already split once, but I wonder if Xu Sanqiao had already founded the so-called Qimen at that time?
But it was obvious that both dragon eyes were in Li Xuan's hands at that time, so he used two dragon eyes to seal the entrance to the Yellow River Ghost Domain.
But later Xu Sanqiao took away the longan that belonged to him, which caused the seal to become very unstable, so the Nine Dragon Coffin Town of the Yellow River was created.
Therefore, Li Yinyang guarded here for thousands of years.
Judging from this situation, the original disagreement between Li Xuan and Xu Sanqiao must not only be due to the issue of immortality. They also obviously had different opinions on the use of longan to seal the entrance to the Yellow River Ghost Domain.
In the final analysis, it is ultimately a matter of differences in outlook.
But now, thousands of years have passed, why did Xu Sanqiao take away another longan?
He got two dragon eyes, so what's the point?
This is of course impossible to guess.
Even for the young man who took away the longan, I can't be sure whether he is Xu Sanqiao after reincarnation?
"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I know there is no such thing as reincarnation, I would have thought you were the reincarnation of Master. You are so similar to Li Xuan back then."
Li Yinyang suddenly looked at me and said with some emotion.
"Actually, you're not the only one who said that."
I shook my head and smiled bitterly.
They kept saying this, which made me a little doubtful. Could it be that I was really the reincarnation of Li Xuan?
I quickly shook my head and threw away such thoughts.
I don’t want to be anyone’s reincarnation. I’m just Li Shiyi, that’s all.
"By the way, you suddenly showed up to find me, maybe it's not just to get to know each other, right?"
I said and looked at Li Yinyang.
"certainly."
He nodded quickly and said: "Master said back then that if the seal at the entrance to the Underworld Ghost Domain is broken, go to Youdu Mountain to find a soul-calming stone tablet, which can be used to seal the entrance to the Ghost Domain again."
Li Yinyang made a helpless expression, "But I have to stay here now, and I can't get away at all, so I hope you can go to Youdu Mountain for me, bring the soul-suppressing stone tablet here, and seal it again The entrance to the underworld ghost realm.”
