Huai'an Temple

Xue Zhu rented a carriage and didn't disturb anyone.All the way slowly out of town.

Xiaoxing stayed overnight and walked slowly.Shen Tuan fell asleep all the way, without any reaction.But Xue Zhu was talking to him all the way.

"Master, does the injury on my body hurt? My rib hurts when I breathe out."

"Master, this is the first time I help you bathe and dress, so you are quite heavy!"

"Master, are we doing justice for the heavens this time?"

"I, I said old guy... you fucking... when will you wake up!!"

On the seventh day, the carriage came to Huai'an Guanmen, Xue Zhu lifted the curtain and carried Shen Tuan out: "Master, we are back."

But he didn't expect that when the gate opened, Xiao Laodao came out to welcome him, his face paled in shock: "This...what's the matter? What happened?!"

Xue Zhu's expression darkened: "It's hard to explain in one word. I really regret not learning alchemy well."

After placing Shen Tuan, Xue Zhu told Xiao Laodao about the situation of seven kills and continued life.

Old Daoist Xiao frowned tightly, and said hesitantly: "If you want to save him, you may have to go through a bad life. Find two return-home grasses and pour them with juice, so that he can wake up, and only after he wakes up can he take the elixir, and then he can be as good as he is for a day. one day."

Xue Zhu asked: "Senior Xiao, is this grass hard to find?"

Xiao Laodao shook his head: "When you walk to the bank of Wangchuan River, it's all over the place. It's not difficult to find grass, but it's difficult for you to revive your soul."

Yang people pass through Yin, and they need to live out their souls, and everything is possible.It's just that this time the soul path is not easy to break through.Thousands of souls hook the body, and thousands of ghosts block the way.In ancient times, people who have passed through the underworld, nine out of ten, died of exhaustion on the way to resurrect their souls.If the primordial spirit died in the underworld, the physical body would be a corpse!

Xue Zhu asked again: "What do you use to put this grass in? Porcelain vases and jade jars?"

Xiao Laodao looked at Shen Tuan: "This homecoming grass will wither after leaving the shade. You have to take him with you!"

Xue Zhu looked at Shen Tuan: "Alright! Where is he, where am I!"

Guoyin was arranged by Lao Xiao at Xu time three days later. If ordinary people knew their "death date", they might have a lot of things to arrange.But Xue Zhu didn't want to scare Li Tan and his wife.I can't think of a single person I care about.Only a few words can be remembered repeatedly in my mind.

"Let me give you a Dao name!"

"Don't be afraid."

"I've been waiting for you at home for three years...you have to come back to be a Taoist priest."

"I like it so much, even if Shangqiongbi falls to Huangquan, I still want to find him back!"

Xue Zhu drew a three-day talisman for use, captured Shen Tuan's living soul, sealed it in a medicine gourd, and hung it around his waist.He carried two long swords on his back and lay down on the ground as he said.

Xiao Laodao wrote the Dizang Liyang mantra on the mats on both sides of Xue Zhu's body.And lighted an everlasting lamp at his feet.Solemnly instructed: "Don't rush around on the way back to the soul, watch your ever-burning lamp. Don't go astray!"

Xue Zhu nodded, looked at the flames of the ever-burning lamp, and closed his eyes after a few breaths.

There is no sun or moon in the underworld, and the sky is always dark.

Xue Zhu was wearing a moon white Taoist robe, and his hair was loosely tied.Standing on a path where two horses passed side by side.There are boundless purple-black shrubs beside the road.

People kept walking by slowly.Men and women, with yellow hair hanging down.Most of them looked ignorant, and when they encountered some expressions, they also lamented sadly and frowned.Someone raised his head to look at Xue Zhu, but his eyes fell back again.Xue Zhu put the two swords behind him into his arms, lowered his head slightly, and followed the flow of people.

He finally realized that this was probably Huangquan Road.

No one made a sound along the way, and no one stopped.just go.Thousands of dead souls passed by, Xue Zhu seemed to be pierced by thousands of sorrows, his feet became heavier and his body became hunched.Can you really go back?Can you break through the soul-returning road?I shouldn't have come.This seven-kill game should not have been discovered.Why... take care of this kind of thing?Whether it is worth it or not, no one knows, no one knows.We...here we go...

Xue Zhu stretched out his hand inadvertently, and shook the medicine gourd on his waist.Consonance moved, and suddenly smiled.I feel ashamed.Isn't this pure yang synaesthesia?Otherwise, how could there be so many random thoughts!No more hesitation, stride forward.

There is no sleepiness and hunger, and there is no sun, moon and stars.Xue Zhu didn't know that he walked for a few days holding the medicine gourd.From a distance, there is a large open space ahead.Gather many people.Xue Zhu took a closer look and saw a huge boulder standing on the open ground.Standing high and looking up, it is as bright as a bronze mirror.Countless people stayed in front of them, crying and laughing, clapping their hands and sighing, as if enlightened.He also glanced at Shi Jing, but couldn't see anything.

Going forward, there are more and more people around me, and their minds are much clearer.They even greeted each other.

"Brother? I stumbled and fell into the river! How did you die?"

"I didn't even know that I was a dog in my previous life!"

"It's true that there are no young or old on the road to Huangquan, look at how young that child is!"

"Little brother, you are so young, what's wrong with you?" Someone next to him was unwilling to be lonely, and touched Xue Zhu.

"Oh, I, I... I came here by myself." Xue Zhu was vague and vague.

"What? What kind of suicide? Why can't you think about it at such a young age!" This one seemed to be warm-hearted.

"No, no, I mean, I don't know how I got here." Xue Zhu forced a smile.

"Hey! Such a good-looking person, I can't figure it out." That person shook his head and left.

Five or six miles further on, the path gradually widened.It showed a vast river bank, the river was silent, dark, steamy, and misty.There are neither ferries nor boats.

Xue Zhu walked along the river for a while, thinking that this is the Wangchuan River, and it is estimated that he will encounter the Naihe Bridge soon.But... what kind of returning home grass is it?Just as he was thinking, a question came from behind him suddenly: "You, are you a Taoist priest?" Xue Zhu was startled, feeling strange.He didn't wear a crown, and he didn't have a whisk in his hand.Taoist robes are usually worn by ordinary men, so I don't know how the other party recognizes them.

Turning around, I saw a thin man, wearing a red round-neck gown, and soft boots with Futoe.The face is sickly, and the stature is slightly short.He is nodding his head and asking.

Xue Zhu didn't hide anything, he turned around and bowed his head and said, "You are polite, poor Xue Zhu."

The sick-looking man returned the half-respect: "Sure enough, it's Daoist Yu Ion. My name is Cui Yi."

Xue Zhu was even more surprised, and asked: "Mr. Cui, why do you know me? Are you?"

Cui Yi stretched out his hand to signal, and the two said as they walked: "As far as the underworld is concerned, there are no secrets in the underworld. A few days ago, you and Venerable Master joined forces to fight against the old ghost who changed his life, and now you are being detained in the city of death! So , your master and apprentice are now the underworld red man."

Suddenly, Xue Zhu took off the medicine gourd on his waist, saluted Shen Tuan again, and said, "My teacher is seriously injured, so I can't do the whole salute. What will happen to that old monster?"

Cui Yi returned the gift, saying: "If Master Xu Zi punishes rape and eliminates evil, even though we are ghosts, we will all admire him. As for that demon, the Hell is very empty, and he may never come out again!"

Xue Zhu felt relieved immediately!I've never had such a good time!Good and evil are rewarded in the end!Look, Master Xindao, this scene was not in vain!

Cui Yi led Xue Zhu along the river, and from time to time someone bowed and saluted him, but Cui Yi ignored it.However, Xue Zhu could see that he seemed to be the orderly officer of the underworld.There are strict levels of ghosts in the underworld, and it is not known which level Cui Yi is.

With Cui Yi leading the way, he saw a long bridge spanning the Wangchuan River not long after.The flowers on the other side are blooming and it is difficult to cross, but there is a bridge!

There is a two-story tile building at the head of the bridge. There are hundreds of scattered seats downstairs, half of which have guests.Cui Yi took Xue Zhu to sit by the bridge, pointed to the surroundings and said: "This is the Naihe Bridge. Everyone here is the last part of the previous life. After crossing the bridge, there will be no worries."

The guy with green veins and white noodles brought a pot of boiled tea soup, Cui Yi only took a tea bowl, and said: "The things here are untouchable, so I won't let you."

Xue Zhu got up and leaned against the bridge, but couldn't see the other side, and was blocked by the smoke.Just as he was about to take another step forward, he suddenly felt the medicine gourd on his waist tremble.Xue Zhu smiled, shook the gourd, and whispered to himself: "Don't worry, we won't go."

Suddenly there was a loud sound of Lila collapsing in the tile building, and there was a woman yelling and scolding.With a scream of pain, a person rolled down the stairs on the second floor. His face was pale and bloodless, but his nose was flat and his eyes were cracked, and his cheeks were swollen.Then followed by a young woman with a slender figure, a beautiful color, and a domineering aura!Pinched his waist and shouted: "Bah! Your mother is having an affair with the judge! Your grandma is a concubine with a bull's head and a horse's face!"

Xue Zhu hurriedly sat back at the table, and Chi asked: "Mr. Cui, this..." Cui Yi suppressed a laugh and said in a low voice: "This is Miss Lin, her husband's family name is Meng, and she is often called Mrs. Meng, which is... Granny Meng. "The last two words were not uttered, only mouth-shaped.Xue Zhu understood.He couldn't help but look at the woman again.

Po Meng's Qiushui eyes flashed across, Cui Yi saw her and leaned over.Xue Zhu got up to salute.Granny Meng greeted from a distance: "Cui Jianrong, is it time for you again? Or are you just here for a sit down?"

Cui Yi said: "It's time again, it's only a day or two left."

Granny Meng waved: "Wait, I'll get you some soup."

Xue Zhu looked puzzled.Cui Yi smiled weakly: "I don't know if you are in a hurry, but I would like to make friends with you two."

Xue Zhu said politely: "Not here for half a day, Cui Guanren, are you waiting for someone?"
