The more Cheng Ling walked, the more surprised he became. The scene in this underworld was similar to the legend on earth. Su Yi felt a chill on his spine and said softly: "Brother Cheng, this underworld is too weird. I don't know what kind of person that ghost Taoist is."
Cheng Ling said: "I told you not to follow me earlier, now you are scared!"
Su Yi's face turned red, but he still raised his head stubbornly and said, "Don't be afraid, with Brother Cheng here, we will definitely be able to turn danger into good luck!"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly. This boy really has confidence in himself. There is nothing we can do about it. We will just try our best to protect him when the time comes!
The two of them said no more, followed the team and slowly walked into the cave.
As soon as they entered, they saw more Yin spirits inside, with all kinds of strange and strange shapes. They were so dense that there was no end to be seen. Cheng Ling winked at Su Yi, and the two of them mingled with the crowd and walked forward.
Now that we have entered the gate of hell, there should be resurrecting grass here, but where can we find it? She couldn't help thinking to herself that there was no "person" here at all, and she didn't know who to ask.
Cheng Ling looked around and found that all the ghosts and transparent people were walking to the left, but one of the government servants was walking to the right. He said to Su Yi: "Look after the master for me first, and I will follow." Take a look. Remember, don’t act rashly!”
Su Yi nodded and said: "Don't worry, Brother Cheng. We have swallowed the Transformation Pill. As long as we don't actively provoke them, we won't be able to see through our true identity."
Cheng Ling nodded, and it was because of this that he felt relieved to leave Yang Hongqiu in his hands. Refining the Transformation Pill is not difficult. I happened to be able to collect the materials I purchased in the ghost town, and I refined several hundred pills while on the road, which is enough for several months!
After using the Breath Condensation Technique, the whole person seemed to be empty, with no breath at all. I quietly followed the yamen servant. After a long time, I walked farther and farther, and gradually saw less and less ghosts. There was also the faint sound of running water.
The yamen servant kept following the sound of water flowing. After a while, Cheng Ling found that there was no one around. He took a few steps forward and called out: "Fellow Taoist, please stay here. I have something to ask." "
The yamen officer was startled, stopped, turned around and looked at him doubtfully and said, "What's the matter?"
"Excuse me, friend, do you know where the Ghost Taoist is, or do you know the whereabouts of the Resurrection Grass and the Yin-Yang Grass?"
"Ghost Taoist, Yin-Yang Grass, Soul-Reviving Grass? Huh, that's not right. You call me fellow Taoist? You are not a Yin spirit, how did you get here?"
Cheng Ling was startled, and he used his body skills instantly to reach the yamen servant, and with a touch of his right hand, he restrained him. The lightning flashes on both fingers can annihilate the opponent's soul with just a flash of thought.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on the yamen servant's forehead. The power of thunder and lightning was the nemesis of the Yin spirits such as himself.
He glanced at Cheng Ling and said, "The Ghost Taoist is upstream of the River of Forgetfulness. Walking along the edge of the river, you will soon find a palace. That is his residence. Hey! Isn't that the Ghost Taoist?"
Cheng Ling was stunned, turned around and saw nothing behind him, and immediately knew that he had fallen into the yamen servant's trick. Sure enough, when he turned his head, his fingers were weak and there was no trace of the government servant anywhere.
He cursed in his heart, knowing that he was careless this time. He didn't expect that the government officials in Guimen Pass were so shrewd that they would deceive him. At the same time, he also understood that even if his breath and appearance changed drastically, his tone of voice and behavior would still reveal some flaws.
After pondering for a while, he recalled the tone of the officer's words in his mind. According to inertial speculation, the first few words of that guy should be true. The highest level of deception is not to lie entirely, but to lie seven percent truth and three percent falsehood.
Judging from this, the residence of the Ghost Taoist should be upstream of the River of Forgetfulness. He kept Yang Hongqiu and Su Yi in mind, so he stopped delaying and turned back to the original road.
When he returned to the original place, he saw that Yang Hongqiu was awake. Looking at her pale face, he felt a pain in his heart and said, "I probably know the specific location of the Ghost Taoist. Let's go look for it first and put the rest aside."
The two agreed and followed him upstream along the waters of the River of Forgetfulness.
After walking for a while, I saw a quaint palace, which was made of the same material as the previous archway, and was all pitch black. Green lighting fires were lit around the palace. The flames swayed and reflected on the dark walls of the palace, making it even more mysterious.
There are many Yin spirits wearing simple armors lining up in front of the palace. It seems that their costumes are much better than ordinary Yin spirits, and their cold energy is also stronger. They should be the ghost soldiers that Bai Qian mentioned.
Su Yi looked at the long queue in front of him and said depressedly: "Brother Cheng, how long will we wait until there are so many ghosts?"
"Don't worry, something just happened to give us a wake-up call. When we come to the Netherworld, we have to pay special attention to our words and deeds. If we are not careful, we can easily show our mistakes. Now it's time to see how those ghost soldiers talk. Yes, you can also learn a thing or two.”
Su Yi suddenly woke up and secretly admired it in his heart. How could he not think of such a thing? Brother Cheng is indeed as meticulous as dust, and you will never suffer any loss if you follow him!
In this way, the two people lined up behind the ghost soldiers and moved forward step by step into the palace. Their eyes were fixed on the tone of the ghost soldiers' words, silently remembering them in their hearts.
Cheng Ling discovered that the names of these ghost soldiers were very different from those in the star world. In the monastic world, people are generally called seniors and juniors based on their cultivation. However, the ghost soldiers are different. They call each other adults based on their rank. No wonder the yamen officer discovered something was wrong just by the tone of his voice.
After waiting like this for a day, the three of them finally entered the hall. They saw a huge bone chair in the distance in front of them, with several hollow skulls embedded in the chair. In the middle of the chair, a man wearing a monk's robe and a goat's short beard who was 70% or 80% similar to a human monk sat on it, welcoming the ghost soldiers who came forward.
Some of the ghost soldiers stepped forward without saying a word. The ghost Taoist simply described the merits and demerits of the other party, and finally announced the methods of rewards and punishments. After the announcement, four ghost servants came forward. There were rewards for merit and punishment for demerits, but regardless of merit or demerit, they would be taken into the wing behind the bone chair.
Others, like Cheng Ling, asked some questions, but in the same way, the ghost Taoist would still evaluate the merits and demerits of the inquirer before finally telling them the answer.
Cheng Ling and Su Yi secretly smacked their lips when they saw this. This ghost Taoist had so much power. He could decide life or death with just one word. The three of them are fakes, and they hope not to be seen through by the other party.
After a period of time, it was finally Cheng Ling's turn. He took a step forward and said, "Master Kidao, I would like to ask you a few questions!"
The Ghost Taoist closed his eyes slightly and raised his head to look at Cheng Ling after hearing the sound. But when I saw it, I said "Hey".
Cheng Ling's heart was racing. Could it be that the other party saw through his true identity at just one glance? Do you want to make a move? If the soft one doesn't work, then use the hard one. Simply restrain him. Don't be afraid that the other party won't tell the truth.
But the aura of the ghost Taoist was blurred, and it was hard to see what realm he was in. In addition, there were so many Yin spirits in the palace. What if there was a conflict and they swarmed him?
He hesitated in his heart and was undecided, but the ghost Taoist said: "Follow me!" After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door behind him.
Cheng Ling was stunned, wondering what trick the other party was playing, whether he was going in or not? I really don’t have much confidence.
Seeing Cheng Ling standing there in a daze, the four ghost agents quickly reminded him: "That guy, Master Kidao asked you to come in, why are you still dazed!"
Cheng Ling turned around and glanced at Yang Hongqiu and Su Yi. The former nodded slightly and said softly: "It's okay, master, I can still handle it!" She knew Cheng Ling's temperament and would not give up easily. Now she turned back to ask for her opinion. I'm just afraid of something unexpected happening.
Seeing Yang Hongqiu's resolute attitude, Cheng Ling felt relieved, gritted his teeth, and walked into the door behind the bone chair.
Entering the portal, you will see a secret room ahead. There was only a stone table and two bone chairs in the secret room, and there was nothing else. The Ghost Taoist was sitting on one of the bone chairs, looking at him indifferently.
Cheng Ling took a deep breath, stepped forward slowly, bowed slightly, and said: "Master Kidao, I want to know where to find the Resurrection Grass and Yin Yang Grass!"
The Ghost Taoist smiled slightly, looked him up and down, and then said calmly: "Are you doing it for the woman behind you? Her soul is failing, and these two herbs can indeed relieve it."
Cheng Ling was shocked and said, "Exactly!"
"You are not a Yin spirit, but a human monk. Can you tell me which interface you came from?"
Cheng Ling suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and his feet were ready to run away at any moment.
The ghost Taoist seemed to see through his mind and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. It's not strange for human monks to come to the Netherworld. It's just that I haven't seen them for many years. That's why I am a little curious."
"Besides, your current level of cultivation is not enough! If you want to take action, you can't leave this secret room!"
Cheng Ling disagreed, but the more he despised, the better it would be for him. Now that he was asking questions, he had something to ask for, so he said, "I am from the star realm. This trip was just because my teacher's soul was damaged, so I wanted to help her heal her injury."
"Oh? Looking at the herb you asked about, it is the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill. Yes, it is indeed very helpful for damaged souls. Are you a spiritual elixir master?"
"I don't dare, it's just a first glimpse of the door!"
"Haha~, the young man is very humble! In this case, I can tell you the whereabouts of the Resurrection Grass, but there is one condition. I hope you can help."
"Senior, please tell me!"
"The Resurrection Grass can be found in the upper reaches of the River of Forgetfulness, but you have to help me catch ten ghosts that escaped from the underworld. Once done, I will not only tell you the whereabouts of the Yin Yang Grass, but also give you unexpected benefits. !”
Cheng Ling was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Lord Ghost, I will do my best!"
"Hehe~! Let me state in advance that those ten ghosts are not simple things. They are at least level five ghost soldiers. According to your spiritual world, they are at least the nine-star fairyland."
"If it can be defeated, I will keep my promise. At the same time, you can also collect part of the living soul to make up for the loss of her soul. But if it cannot be defeated, there is no other way. This is the underworld, which controls the life and death of all living things in the world. After failure, it will directly become It’s a ghost from the underworld!”
