"Yeah, survived."
Ye Ming reached out and held the girl's hand. He felt that her body temperature was much lower than that of ordinary people. He confirmed that she had recovered a lot and was completely relieved.
With enough yin energy, you will not be hungry, let alone die.
"Okay, you can almost get off my back."
"No, I haven't recovered yet. Carry me for a while longer."
"Naughty."
If a certain scoundrel girl doesn't come down, we adults, a large number of righteous men, won't force her.
I calculated the time first and found that it was now the eighth quarter of the twelfth lunar month on the 15th day of July, and it would soon be the 16th day of the seventh lunar month.
In this case, Ye Ming is not in a hurry for a while. Anyway, the whirlpool on the other side of Laoyin Mountain has been swallowed by the giant beast, and no ghosts will dare to go there to seek death in a short time.
Just stay next to this palm-sized vortex and observe its changes.
At this last moment, behind this small whirlpool, there was still a large group of imps squeezing out.
In the end, only one kid squeezed out.
After it came out, time came to the sixteenth day.
As the fifteenth day passed, the vortex seemed to be completely closed, and the kid behind also appeared to be pushed away like before.
At the same time, the vortex began to dissipate.
Seeing the vortex completely disappear before his eyes, Ye Ming somewhat understood the specialness of this day.
He casually slapped the unconscious imp who had just come out to death, and was about to leave when he suddenly discovered that the whirlpool that had disappeared suddenly flashed and reappeared in the same place.
Only this time, the vortex no longer rotates, like a ring, maintaining a constant state.
Ye Ming felt strange, and when he reached out to take it, he actually touched the vortex instead of being pushed away.
This seems very magical, and people don't understand what is going on for a while.
Miss Wen was playing with Ye Ming's hair with great interest. Seeing this, she also felt strange:
"Why does this vortex disappear and reappear? It seems that it has lost its original function."
Ye Ming touched his chin and thought for a while and said:
"I think it might be stuck."
"its stuck?"
"Yes, this thing should have disappeared after July 15th, but after being swallowed by the giant beast, it should have broken away from the original rules.
After all, the giant beast's body didn't seem to be operating according to external rules.
But now we have brought him out and come into contact with the rules of the outside world again.
Under the contradiction between two different rules, this thing may be stuck.
It neither disappears nor runs. "
Listening to Ye Ming's analysis, Miss Wen laughed out loud.
"This should be something born out of changes in the rules of the world. I didn't expect it to get stuck. It's really interesting."
Ye Ming also smiled and put away the vortex.
Although this thing is no longer running, its principles are worth studying.
"It's dark in here. If you don't like it, let's go out."
Miss Wen put her arms around Ye Ming's neck and said very relaxedly.
Being relied on by others, our Lord Zhengshen "considered himself unlucky" and looked into the depths of the abyss and said:
"There is something useful down there. I want to go down and get it. You wait for me here."
"go together."
"Aren't you afraid of the dark?"
"As long as you are here, I won't be afraid."
"Okay, let's go down."
Ye Ming flew down and soon fell deeper into the abyss.
Continuously falling into the bottomless abyss.
At a certain moment, Ye Ming suddenly stopped, hanging in the air of the abyss.
Seeing him stop, Miss Wen also looked around.
In fact, saying she was afraid of the dark was a joke. As a person who harnessed the power of pure yin, she naturally regarded the night as day.
I just went around and found nothing unusual.
"What's here?"
"Fire in the abyss."
As he spoke, a translucent black flame appeared in Ye Ming's hand. As soon as the flame appeared, it produced a pulling force.
Naturally, what he used was the "Spark of Troubled Times". As this fire was pulled, a little cold sparks began to appear in the abyss of the earth. These sparks had no temperature and were all extremely cold.
A large number of sparks gathered together, and after a while, they turned into a cold flame like ice.
This fire will only make you colder and colder, a cold that goes deep into your bones.
"Is this the 'Fire in the Abyss'?"
Miss Wen watched with great interest.
The three outer fires of Samadhi True Fire are fire in stone, fire in wood, and fire in the air.
In contrast, there are also three evil fires that are densely populated by evil forces, namely the fire in the corpse, the fire in the tomb, and the fire in the abyss.
Now, Ye Ming has obtained two of the three evil fires, leaving only the fire in the tomb.
After putting away the fire in the abyss, there was nothing else to take advantage of. Ye Ming carried a "little lazy insect" who refused to fly on his back and went upwards.
After flying for a long time, I finally flew up to the abyss and came outside.
It was very dark outside at this time, but fortunately there were no more whirlpools in the sky.
Their location is in a mountain forest.
Ye Ming had some impressions of this mountain forest. It was a forest between Yanhua City and Erfu County.
Originally there was no abyss here, but now, there is one.
Soon, Ye Ming discovered a hidden ghost in the mountain forest. Judging from its incomplete limbs, it could be judged that this ghost should have escaped from the underworld.
There was nothing to be polite about. Under Miss Wen's finger, the ghost was deprived of 60% of its Yin Qi, and was easily pinned to the ground by Ye Ming, unable to move.
This ghost didn't expect to encounter such a terrifying combination. It was so frightened that it trembled all over and begged for mercy.
Ye Ming was not in a hurry to destroy it, but asked about things related to the underworld.
This ghost explained very clearly the duties and structure of the underworld, but when it came to the reason for leaving the underworld, he expressed ignorance.
It just senses the passage that can lead to the underworld, and is driven here by instinct. It has no idea in advance that the underworld will leave.
Ju Qi said that more than 90% of the ghosts in the underworld were driven by instinct to do this without knowing it beforehand.
When asked when the vortex in the sky disappeared, the ghost's answer was exactly on the sixteenth day, which was consistent with Ye Ming's guess.
In this way, it can be determined that all of this is closely related to the special time of the Hungry Ghost Festival.
Later, Ye Ming asked it again why it didn't harm people and seize the essence, blood and yang energy, but instead hid here.
The ghost told him because he was afraid.
Not only it, but most of the ghosts were frightened by the earth monster that appeared yesterday.
That giant beast was so terrifying. According to him, at least 30% of the ghosts that came out of the underworld yesterday were swallowed by the giant beast.
The fear of the ghosts has overcome their devouring instinct, and now most of them are hiding, hoping to wait for a while before coming out.
After asking everything, this guy will be useless if he keeps him, and he will be slapped to death by Ye Ming.
Well, who said it's useless? Isn't there still a Yin Dan left behind?
Seeing this Yin Dan, Ye Ming suddenly felt a little painful.
Yesterday, they fought for so long and killed countless ghosts. It stands to reason that just for collecting the Yin Pill, they would receive a lot of money.
Unfortunately, due to the devouring of the giant beast, all the Yin Dan was also digested.
Yesterday's day of fighting was all in vain.
In order to make up for it, Ye Ming turned on his extremely dark eyes on the way back and "passed by" in a place suitable for ghosts to hide.
If you "accidentally" encounter something ghostly, all you can do is say, I'm sorry.
With Miss Wen here, don't take it easy to clean up these ghosts.
Along the way, we took care of a lot of ghosts.
But we also saw devastation everywhere.
Along the way, not a single intact house was seen. A large number of people who survived the earthquake were homeless. Many roads were blocked, trapping people to death in the ruins of mountain villages.
Survivors in many places often sacrifice their lives for a mouthful of food...
The only good thing is that due to the raging ghosts yesterday, almost no one fell asleep.
Everyone is gathering in places like the Chenghuang Temple and the Earth Temple.
Due to the large number of people, most people were wandering in the outer open space.
In this way, during the earthquake, they were not buried by the collapsed houses.
This can be considered a blessing in misfortune.
The Chenghuang temples and Tutu temples in various places are protected by the willpower. Unless they are lucky enough to be found in the cracks in the earth, they are basically still intact, giving people a glimmer of hope and expectation.
Seeing these scenes, Ye Ming and his wife were not in the mood to "encounter" evil ghosts again, and headed straight towards Laoyin Mountain...
As the two people approached, they could see the villages near Laoyin Mountain in the distance, and there was not a single intact house.
After entering the jurisdiction, Ye Ming carried Miss Wen on his back and went straight to Lao Zhang Village.
Last night, everyone gathered there, and I don’t know what the situation is now.
From a distance, Ye Ming saw the Yang Qi, gathering together, as strong as a flame.
Seeing this, I felt relieved. It seemed like nothing happened to my followers.
This is good, this is good...
These are the believers he has "earned" through hard work over the past few years. If they were destroyed by an earthquake like this, he would really lose his blood.
At this time, there were only two intact houses in the entire Laoyin Mountain area.
One is Miss Wen's courtyard in Shanghewan, and the other is the "General Ye Ming Temple" in Laozhang Village.
As for the others, including the "Ye Ming Temple" in each village, they have all collapsed.
At this time, more than 5,000 people gathered in the open space of Laozhang Village. Mr. Bai was instructing everyone to mix the food that had been hidden in the mountains with grass roots, wild vegetables, etc., and stew it in a pot to satisfy their hunger.
There have been earthquakes in Pingzhou more than once in its history, so everyone has some experience.
Although this earthquake was the largest in thousands of years, it did not wipe out people's hope in life.
Especially when they see other familiar people around them who are still alive, people will feel that everything is not a problem.
They are also blessed by gods, as well as Mr. Bai, Captain Pang, and everyone they know.
They are still trying their best to survive...
Arriving above the ancestral hall, Ye Ming sensed that Luyi, Maisui, Leiling, etc. were all inside, and they floated down with Miss Wen in tow.
In the ancestral hall, Green Yi was kneeling in front of the statue with tears on his face, burning paper, lighting incense and praying endlessly:
"Ye Ming, your statue hasn't cracked yet, so you must not be dead yet.
The young lady must not be dead yet, right?
You must rescue the young lady. As long as you rescue her, I will never target you or be cruel to you again.
I will listen to you in everything, just Miss...
I would also like to share it with you.
Come back, you must come back safely! "
Green Yi kept chanting, and kept throwing the incense paper in his hand into the brazier.
Maisui and Leiling also knelt on both sides of her and prayed with her.
At this moment, a group of people with extraordinary power were praying to the gods.
"Is everything you said true?"
A voice responded to Green Yi's begging.
Green Yi subconsciously replied:
"Really, it's all true!"
Then, Lu Yi was suddenly startled. This voice sounded so familiar.
Green Yi looked back immediately.
Not only her, but Maisui and Leiling also looked at it.
Then he saw a man and a woman standing side by side at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
When he saw it was really them and the young lady with full beard and full shadow, Lu Yi, who was already in tears, rushed over from where she was and hugged Miss Wen.
"Miss~~wuwuwu~~~You are back, you are finally back~~~
Wuwuwu~~I thought you would never come back~~"
Miss Wen hugged the crying Lu Yi and comforted her gently:
"Don't worry, Luyi, I'm back, we're all back."
