Gululu, Gululu!
Large clouds of black smoke rose from the ground in the distance.
It looks much more powerful than the illusion that Niu Bi used to create with that weird [Single Magic Weapon], which makes people feel heart-stopping!
But the good thing is that although this Yin Qi is majestic and vast, it doesn't feel sinister and terrifying...
Immediately afterwards.
These large amounts of black smoke actually twisted and condensed into the shape of a portal, just like substance.
From a distance, I could even vaguely see various sneaky images on the door made of smoke.
"What is this?!"
I was shocked.
Although the four of us still did not stop fighting with this bone spirit, we also focused part of our attention on the strange door that suddenly appeared.
The next moment, two black figures walked out of that door!
There were wisps of black air all over his body, and the air around him was a little distorted - it was a visual phenomenon caused by the natural diffusion of Yin air that was extremely strong.
They are thin but very tall, over two and a half meters tall!
Wearing pure black clothes, she is ethereal and soft, automatic and windless. I don't know what material it is made of - or it is a bit like an entity formed by the condensed Yin Qi itself.
Their faces were also shrouded in the surging black air, and their facial features were completely unclear.
Both of them held a long black iron chain in their hands, dragging it on the ground. But there was no sound!
Wherever the chain passes, it will leave a clear black mark on the ground.
This strange appearance seems familiar to me.
But for a while, I couldn't remember where I had seen it?
When Madoka saw this, she immediately exclaimed.
"Holy crap! How could it be...this thing? I haven't seen it for a long time."
Um?
I frowned slightly.
"Damn Fat Bird, do you know these two weirdos?"
I'm very curious.
Madoka's voice was solemn and serious like never before.
"They are not people. But..."
"The underworld is evil!"
The old bone spirit woman also stopped fighting with us, looked at the two tall and thin figures walking slowly, and took over Madoka's words with a trembling voice.
What's wrong? !
Niubi and I were both shocked.
I also suddenly realized - no wonder the appearance of these two tall and thin black figures was inexplicably familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen them before.
Because, I haven't really seen it before at all.
However, I heard Lao Cao describe it!
Only then did I realize that Niu Deheng next to him was also shaking like chaff. It's obviously a huge instinctive fear.
"Yin difference, Yin difference... Yin difference from the underworld. The legend is indeed true, I can't control my fear."
Niu Bi asked quickly.
"Brother, how come you know him?"
Niu Deheng stammered.
"Brother, I, I don't know either... But as soon as these two figures appeared, I seemed to know their identities instinctively, and I was very scared. I felt like my body was frozen."
I looked at the old woman with a bone spirit. Her black skeleton was also shaking.
Obviously, this is sneakiness coming from deep-seated instinctive fear!
Perhaps... the Yin difference naturally has a suppressive effect on the sneaky, and the sneaky instinct will also recognize these visitors from the underworld.
In fact, let alone the supernatural world of Xuanmen, even among ordinary people, there are also legends of the underworld!
This is almost part of the traditional culture of China.
However, the underworld, the messengers of the underworld... let alone ordinary people, practitioners have rarely seen these things!
Perhaps among all the people I have met so far, only Lao Cao has met my master.
Out of curiosity, I once asked Master about the underworld. As a result, she rubbed my hair and said lightly that I don't need to know this yet.
I asked Lao Cao, and he said that he didn't know anything about the underworld.
Even his super powerful move [Yin Soldiers Open the Way], he only knew about it but didn't know why - he knew how to cast the spell and its actual effects, but he didn't know about the [Yin Soldiers] who were called in to help open the way. What on earth is it!
Lao Cao just learned this move from his master, but he didn't know the specific principle of this move.
Anyway, as soon as the summoned [Yin Soldiers] phantoms rush forward, they will immediately turn into gray smoke and dissipate.
But he had indeed seen the evil spirits from the underworld when he was a child!
It was the winter of 1949, and Lao Cao was only eight years old. In that year, he followed his master Cao Zhen and his master Cao Yunfeng to Peking. It was also the first time that Lao Cao met my master Qin Ruoxuan...
It was on their way back to Lianghe Town from Peiping that they passed by an abandoned, uninhabited village. Spend the night there.
As a result, I encountered an extremely ferocious ghost!
Lao Cao's master and master joined forces to fight the fierce ghost. Just when they defeated it, a mutation occurred, black smoke rose from the ground to form a door, and two tall black figures holding iron chains came out of it.
Cao Zhen and Cao Yunfeng respectfully handed over their hands and called them "the underworld."
Then the two shady men tied up the evil ghost with iron chains, dragged him directly into the black door, and disappeared...
When young Cao Cao saw this scene, he was shocked.
He curiously asked his master and master, what is the underworld?
As a result, Cao Zhen and Cao Yunfeng also hesitated and couldn't explain why. I just say that they are the messengers from the underworld, who specialize in catching some demons and ghosts in the upper world.
But this explanation is actually similar to what ordinary people say, and there is no real profound truth.
Later, when I was a little older.
In the summer of 1957, 16-year-old Cao went to the Miao Village in western Hunan with his master. There, I saw another time when the underworld came to arrest the fierce ghosts stranded in the Yang world...
After that, we never saw each other again!
Especially in the past thirty or forty years, Lao Cao said that in the entire Xuanmen world, fewer and fewer people have seen evil spirits. There are almost no hidden dangers.
Unexpectedly, when I was dealing with this bone spirit that stayed at the construction site today, I actually saw it!
I looked at the two tall, thin black figures slowly walking this way, getting closer and closer, and I felt very alert and nervous.
"What is the real underworld like? What are these ghosts? They look neither like humans, nor ghosts, nor corpses, nor monsters... They look completely different. Well!"
"Furthermore, it stands to reason that in the legends of ordinary people, the underworld is responsible for catching the sneaks who cause trouble in the world. It should be absolutely righteous and kind, right? Why does it give me such a terrifying and palpitating feeling? "
"Although the auras exuded by these sinister men are not violent and evil, they always carry an inexplicable sense of uneasiness that is difficult to describe. Is it simply a sense of oppression caused by being too strong? It doesn't look like it!"
Many thoughts flashed rapidly in my mind.
Although whether it is Xiao Yuan, the bone spirit old woman, or Niu Deheng. They all confirmed that the two mysterious existences shrouded in black air before them were the underworld's evil spirits!
But I still dare not relax, the energy flow in my body is running wildly.
Hold the magic knife tightly in one hand, and be ready to strike the talisman at any time with the other hand.
There are various indications that the real underworld may be different from what ordinary people say...
I dare not be careless!
What if this thing is indistinguishable between good and evil?
It's better to err on the side of caution.
In particular, even Xiao Yuan, a wretched guy who was usually carefree and cheap, looked very serious and solemn at this time. This shows that this "underworld errand" is probably not a good thing.
Close, close!
Finally, these two skinny Yinza came to a place about two feet away from us.
He stopped and remained motionless.
at this time.
The four of us, the old woman with bones and spirits, and two underworld shady...
A total of three forces, none of them spoke.
After a brief silence, the sinister and slender arm on the left waved.
call!
A ball of black energy turned into a shape similar to an ancient scroll in front of it, and some words seemed to appear on it. Then, I finally heard the sinister voice.
It seemed to be reading while looking at the scroll formed by black gas.
"Ten Palace Edicts: Liu Xiu'e of Yucheng, whose address is Mingfeng Street. Eight characters, five taels and three coins. Born in the 10th year of Xianfeng of Emperor Wenzong of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the Year of the Monkey of Gengshen. He died in the 15th year of the Republic of China, that is, the Year of the Ox of Yichou. He has been stranded in Yangshi until now. Seventy-seven years in the human world. According to the document, I brought it back to the underworld. Calculate the good and evil, and then enter the reincarnation."
This voice was absolutely calm and cold, with no trace of emotion or ups and downs in it.
And it is impossible to distinguish between male and female.
It's hard to tell from the voice whether the person reading the "document" is a man or a woman - in fact, it's hard to tell from the body shape. Those broad robes and large sleeves condensed by black energy make their bodies rise from above. The bottom is covered tightly.
And from these sinister words, I also learned some information about this bone-spirited old woman.
My history is pretty good.
So we know that the tenth year of Xianfeng was 1860. The fifteenth year of the Republic of China, that is, 1925. This is equivalent to her living sixty-five years.
It has been seventy-seven years since she died and became a ghost. She is indeed an old ghost!
The one on the left finished reading out her personal information, and the one on the right also started talking.
"Liu Xiu'e, it's time to come back to the underworld with us."
Its sound is exactly the same as the one just now, there is no difference at all!
Bone Spirit was stunned for a moment, then shook his head vigorously.
"No! I'm not going to the underworld. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just going to stay here. These living cultivators don't want to drive me away, and you underworld servants don't even want to take me away from here."
Although the Bone Spirit old woman named Liu Xiu'e was obviously a little scared, she still firmly resisted leaving.
Holy shit!
This old lady is really stubborn.
I muttered under my breath.
"It seems that she is not only unreasonable to us practitioners, she is also unreasonable to everyone...including Yinza! I am very curious, what should Yinza do? Let's fight her first and put her Surrender?"
It's an eye-opener to see how powerful the legendary existence from the underworld is [Yinza]!
Madoka next to me told me in a complicated tone.
"To be honest, my cultivation level is not at the Ghost King level. I have never seen anyone who can escape the pursuit of the underworld! Or they didn't come to catch you at all. After all, the underworld has hardly appeared in the world for many years. But once it comes, you definitely won’t be able to escape.”
There is actually a lot of information in what Dead Fat Bird said!
Apparently, it should know a lot about the [Underworld].
In the past, I only thought of asking Master and Lao Cao, but I never thought of asking this stupid bird!
But at this time, I didn't have the time to ask in detail. After the matter in front of me comes to an end, I will grab this guy and "torture him to confess".
Facing Liu Xiu'e's shouts, the Yin Cha on the left just continued to speak coldly.
"All ghosts are under the jurisdiction of the Yin Division. You must not disobey the Yin Division's orders."
"No!"
Liu Xiu'e screamed in a hoarse voice while retreating.
"I won't leave! I promised my man that I would wait for him to come back at our house. He received a letter from his distant elder and went to the west to fight. If he doesn't come back, I will never leave! I will follow He made an appointment to wait here forever."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yuan, Niu Bi, Niu Deheng and I were all stunned.
Especially me, I was deeply shocked.
Since Master left, I miss her all the time. Suffering from lovesickness.
Thoughts and commitment to your loved ones are truly the most important thing!
Therefore, I can completely feel the deep thoughts of this bone spirit and the commitment to the loved one.
"turn out to be……"
I muttered to myself.
"It turns out that her century-long obsession was to wait for her husband to return from the war. Maybe she actually knew that her husband was probably dead on the battlefield. She had already died of old age and turned into a sneaky spirit. It’s been over seventy years.”
"But for the promise between husband and wife, she waited for him to come home. Her soul will always be waiting and wandering here! Sure enough, the most painful thing between men and women in the world is lovesickness."
I don't know why, I feel sour for no reason.
Although I was fighting with this bone spirit just now, trying to drive her away from here. But at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her...
The main thing is that we feel sympathy for each other!
She missed her husband who was away at war and wanted to wait for him to return home.
And I miss my beloved Master and want to see her again.
In this world, only people who have suffered the same suffering can have such a thing as "empathy". Otherwise, no matter how much others try to understand, they will never truly understand.
only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.
However, it has reached this point. The evil spirits from the underworld have already arrived.
This matter actually has nothing to do with us - she has to go!
The man on the left spoke again.
"Liu Xiu'e, you are dead. The mortal world is broken, and your soul should return to the underworld."
The Yin difference on the right opened again.
"Submit quickly and do not disobey."
"I don't!"
Liu Xiu'e howled sadly, probably she didn't have the courage to take action against Yin Cha.
Turn around and run away!
In fact, the direction she fled happened to be towards me.
If I take advantage of the situation at this time, I will definitely be able to stop this already panicked bone spirit.
Reason tells me that I should do this - after all, this is the job that Niu Bi and I have taken over, and whether the construction site can start smoothly involves many aspects.
But for some reason, my body refused to obey and moved aside. He didn't stop him either.
Liu Xiu'e flew by and looked back at me.
Her old face emerged from the skull, with a hint of doubt in her grateful eyes... Maybe she didn't know why I let her go?
But the next moment!
Whoosh! Wow!
A black iron chain flew forward almost grazing my body.
So fast!
It was like a black stream of lightning, reaching an incredible level.
I feel that if it were me, I probably wouldn't have time to react and avoid it.
Indeed...the bone spirit Liu Xiu'e was not able to escape either.
boom! ! !
The front end of the black chain directly hit her shoulder blade. Ripples appeared in the air like water waves, and the huge impact force knocked her away and fell to the ground.
Then, like a living creature, the iron chain wrapped around her entire body with a clanging sound of metal colliding!
I took a look, and the two Yinzai were still standing there, not even moving.
Just when Yin Zai on the left stretched out a hand, the black iron chain flew out automatically. In an instant, he crossed a distance of at least ten feet, knocked down and tied up Liu Xiu'e.
It's amazing that this chain can extend so long!
And this scene also made me take a breath of cold air.
"Liu Xiu'e is not weak. Although the four of us have always had the upper hand against her, she is obviously very strong as a bone spirit. If I really fight her alone, the outcome will actually be about 50-50. "
"Her strength...if compared with the zombie evil, it is definitely comparable to the top evil zombie. She is only one step away from the evil zombie! But in the face of this evil, she can't even fight back. No. Even considering that the Yin difference itself has a natural instinctive suppression effect on ghosts, it is a bit too outrageous."
"How strong is Yin Zha?!"
Wow!
The black chains that bound Liu Xiu'e shook for a moment, then dragged her in the air and quickly shrank back, until she was in front of the two sinisters.
Madoka's voice also sounded in my head.
"That's the Yin Division's [Yin Chain]. It has a suppressive effect on all Yin-attributed things - including ghosts, corpses, demons, etc. Huh, Yin difference, you think it's very powerful, but it's just It’s just relying on the Yin Division’s complete suppression of Yin things.”
"I see."
I nodded slightly.
However, Madoka's tone was obviously dissatisfied and sour. So even if it goes as it says, this evil situation is definitely not something I can deal with now...
At this time, the Yin chain tied up Liu Xiu'e and slowly lifted her into the air.
"Let me go, let me go!!!"
Liu Xiu'e struggled wildly.
The Yinza who cast the iron chain continued to speak in his cold voice that was indistinguishable between male and female and without any emotional fluctuations.
"Liu Xiu'e, during life and after death, she did no big evil, only made small mistakes occasionally. Return to the underworld, conduct a short trial and judgment, and then wait for reincarnation. In the next life, you can be reborn in a good fetus. Don't make any unnecessary struggles."
"I, I don't want to be reincarnated... I don't want to forget my husband! I want to wait for him to come back."
Liu Xiu'e shouted and returned to the appearance of an old woman in her soul body.
I saw two lines of tears flowing from her eyes. Then it turned into gray smoke and spread out in the air.
Pleading is useless.
she said again in a low voice.
"Then I beg you two adults, can you tell me the whereabouts of my husband? Did he die on the battlefield and become a ghost? Or has he gone to the underworld and been reincarnated? Where and who did he live?"
There was a long silence.
The left Yin difference opening.
"Yang life is over, fate is gone."
The Yin difference on the right side also opens.
"You have no right to ask."
After saying that, Yin Chai on the left reached out and threw the chain back.
Wow!
Amidst the collision of chains, Liu Xiu'e flew back and flew into the strange portal made of black smoke.
The figure disappeared.
Obviously, she should have been sent to the underworld first.
This guy Madoka is complaining in my mind again.
"Things like Yin Cha only know how to carry out the clerical orders of the Yin Division without any unnecessary emotions. But in fact, this Liu Xiu'e is just a lingering obsession in this life, she is not an evil ghost, and she has not done anything bad. Just give him a casual punishment and he will be reincarnated. There is nothing to lose."
I looked at the place where she disappeared, and my tone was a little gloomy.
"But I heard that in the underworld, before crossing the Naihe Bridge, one has to drink Meng Po soup. She will forget everything in this life. She will also forget her beloved husband..."
Madoka stood on my shoulder, wings spread like a human hand.
"That's for sure! There's nothing we can do about it."
The two undercover agents took Liu Xiu'e away and then stood there motionless again.
But I have an intuition that their faces shrouded in black air seem to be looking in our direction!
What do you want? !
I looked at Niu Deheng who was hiding behind me and shivering, and I had a bad feeling.
The left person said.
"There is another ghost there."
Yin Zai on the right said.
"Yes, I saw it too."
"Ghosts should not stay in the human world."
"But, it's very weak."
"Ghosts should not stay in the human world."
"The Yin Secretary did not mention taking it back."
"Okay, go back."
"Walk."
The difference between the two is that you and I got a few words right.
Then he turned around at the same time and walked back in an orderly manner.
Soon, their abnormally tall and thin bodies disappeared into the black air portal.
call!
The portal collapsed and disintegrated, returning to surging black smoke. Then he suddenly shrank to the ground and disappeared in an instant...
The surroundings became quiet again.
The dark clouds in the sky also dispersed, and the disk-like moon hung in the night.
The cold silver glow falls on us.
It was as if everything that just happened was just a weird dream!
Gululu.
Niu Bi swallowed, his legs went weak, and he fell directly to the ground, breathing heavily.
"Oh my god! This...is this the underworld? The sense of oppression was so strong that I didn't even dare to move just now."
Niu Deheng said with a cry.
"Brother, you are a living person and a monk. The evil spirits will not do anything to you. But I am a ghost! I was really scared to pee just now. Fortunately, I am a ghost, otherwise my pants would be wet now. ”
