Hit the yin and yang road

Chen Yang asked: "Who is he? Where is he?"

The two boys stared at him blankly, refusing to answer.

Chen Yang withdrew his gaze, guessing that they would not dare to answer. If 'he' refers to the source of resentment, then 'he' is the embodiment of the Wuliang Yin House, and it is normal for the ghosts in the Yin House to be afraid of him.He guessed like this, but underestimated the greed of the ghosts in the yin house.

The two boys salivated, and they said, "If you could give us blood, your blood—" "Or your meat, as long as a candy—" They said in unison, "We'll tell you. "

Chen Yang was silent for a while, and said, "If I complained to your father, wouldn't you say so?"

The two boys trembled when they heard the word 'father', but they were not afraid when they heard the complaint.They have nothing to fear: "You can't find our fault, and you can't complain about us."

"Okay. Then let me ask in another way, what is the direct or inevitable relationship between the rainy sky guest and 'he' likes rainy days at most?" Seeing them, he still didn't say anything, his eyes were greedy.Chen Yang said with a smile: "The hostess of the unknown house doesn't have enough human skin for you to share?"

When mentioning the hostess of the unknown house, the two boys immediately whispered to each other, and after talking for a while, they looked at Chen Yang with some resentment."Cunning," they accused, "malicious."

Chen Yang: "Answer my question."

They hesitated for a moment, and the same sentence remained: "On a rainy day, a visitor is here."

Chen Yang frowned, and began to realize that the "guest" in "guest visiting" did not only refer to the guest in Yunchi Tangyu, but also other guests.He couldn't get any words out of the mouths of the two boys, so he turned his head to look at the bath, which was empty and without water. "no water?"

"It hasn't been cleaned yet." After saying that, the two boys crawled under the bathtub and cleaned themselves on the wall.Chen Yang took a step forward and found that they were using their tongues to clean the bathing pool. He almost vomited from nausea.He took a few steps back, let alone the bathtub in this situation, even if there was no problem, he would not dare to go down.

Chen Yang stepped back and leaned against the painting barrier.The so-called painting barrier is a kind of screen that was introduced to the island country during the Tang Dynasty, and the wall is still used in the island country today.Suddenly, I felt a chill on the back of my neck, accompanied by a strange sound as if I was licking something.He looked back and found a ghost standing behind the painting barrier. This shadow stuck out its tongue and licked his neck through the painting barrier.

Chen Yang was furious in an instant, kicked the barrier and sent the ghost behind him flying.Entering the next room, I saw that it was a short, withered, scorched old ghost.Seeing Chen Yang, the old ghost immediately showed a coveted and greedy look: "Live soul."

Hearing this, other ghosts in the bath who were pitch-black and without facial features turned their heads to look at Chen Yang. The two boys who were cleaning the bath were lying on the edge of the bath and quietly staring at this scene.The eerie feeling of being silently stared at by many ghosts is not pleasant, but Chen Yang is irritated at the moment, and he is not afraid at all, nor does he have the idea of ​​revealing his identity so as not to scare the snake.

He took off the entire string of ancient copper coins on his wrist, and stretched the red string to form a long whip.As soon as the ancient copper coin with the most yang energy was taken out, the ghosts present screamed in fear, and Chen Yang slammed down the long whip: "Shut up!"

The group of ghosts immediately fell silent and hid in the bathtub shivering.The old ghost who attacked Chen Yang was also afraid of the long whip of copper coins. If a whip hit him, the strong yang energy would directly knock him out of his wits.

The old ghost wanted to escape into the ghost shadows, but the ghost shadows squeezed him out one after another.He couldn't run towards the door immediately, but was stopped.He suddenly shouted: "Heavenly Master! He is a Heavenly Master!" Then he counterattacked, looking extremely greedy.

Chen Yang flogged the old ghost until he was frightened. Looking back, he saw the ghosts in the bath that were frightened and frightened. It seemed that because he was a celestial master, he had restrained his fear of being scattered.Even though they couldn't see their facial features, they could feel their greed. They slowly climbed out of the bath and rushed toward Chen Yang.

Chen Yang stepped back and approached the door.The door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a pale and thin hand stretched out and pulled him out.Just as Chen Yang wanted to break free, he heard the boy's voice shout: "Follow me." He looked back at the ghost that was climbing over quickly, and ran away with the boy without struggling.

The ghosts behind him became even angrier when they saw this, and they all wanted to catch up.But when they touched the door, the doors on both sides made a 'bang' sound and were closed.The two boys, one on the left and the other on the right, held the doorknob, looked down at the ghost crawling on the ground, and said in a flat tone, "Fee. White pig."

The ghost was restless and made a 'creaking' sound.Then one of the fatter ghosts was pushed out. The ghost began to struggle and scream when it sensed the danger, but its limbs were restrained, and then opened its mouth and removed its tongue.Seeing this, the two boys happily picked up the fat black shadow and left, shouting as they walked: "Boil the water, butcher the white pig. Scald the water, peel off the skin. Cut it with a knife, let the pig's blood out. Fried the pig's skin, boiled the pork, The pig's eyes are rolling around, and the pig's intestines are stuffed with rock sugar."

Ghosting's tongue was pulled out, and he could only make a cry of 'woo woo woo' from his throat, which sounded like the cry of a pig waiting to be slaughtered.When he was carried out of the room, he immediately took shape, naked, white and fat, like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

The boy who appeared suddenly dragged Chen Yang upstairs, took him to the attic, closed the door, and carefully checked the movement outside.Hearing the commotion outside was a bit chaotic, and someone was yelling 'Heavenly Master! ', 'Catch them! 'if.But for the time being, no one came upstairs, the boy heaved a sigh of relief, ran back to Chen Yang, and knelt down.

The attic was very short, Chen Yang could only bend down and bow his head, so he squatted down and stared at the boy in front of him.Although the boy's clothes were shabby, his face was clean and he looked kind and harmless.Chen Yang remained calm: "Who are you? The purpose of dragging me up?"

The young man bent his lips and smiled, with a hearty and generous smile.He said: "Are you the celestial master sent by the Taoist Association outside to save the grievances in the Yin House?"

Chen Yang: "You know?"

"The ghosts in the Yin House without beams know it—the celestial masters outside call it the Yin House without beams. The tomb without beams is a place where ghosts live. It's a real image." The young man entertained himself and laughed, but when he saw Chen Yang Expressionless, he stopped laughing: "Well, it's not funny. In fact, every once in a while, the yin house will be full of resentment and negative energy everywhere, so the yin house will appear in the yang world every few years. There are deep resentment and ghosts. If you don’t save yourself in time, innocent passers-by will come in and be eaten by the ghosts inside. If it goes on for a long time, it will lead to more resentment in the yin house and more people will be harmed. Therefore, the celestial master controls the whereabouts and time of the yin house. When the resentment overflows, a celestial master will be sent to seal the source of the resentment."

Chen Yang: "So?"

The young man laughed and said: "So all the ghosts in the Yin House know that the appearance of the Celestial Master will seal the source of resentment, so that they cannot appear in the world. They will be restless if they haven't smelled blood for a long time, so they hate the Celestial Master even more."

Chen Yang was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "You're right, but it's not the reason why they want to eat me." The young man waited silently for him to continue, and he continued: "I am a living soul, and it is true for ghosts. Make them want to eat me, but I'm not the one who strayed in with flesh and blood. When they heard that I was a celestial master, the greed and possessiveness shown could even make them kill each other." He listened The movement downstairs, all the ghosts are restless, that kind of restlessness is not fear, anger and hatred, but ecstasy.

"They were very happy," he said.

Boy: "It's really smart. That's right, they don't hate the Celestial Master. On the contrary, they are very happy that the Celestial Master appeared in the underworld, because it means that they can use the soul of the Celestial Master to occupy the body of the Celestial Master and return to the underworld. In the yin house, they You only need to abide by the rules of the yin house, so as long as the living soul breaks into the yin house, they can take the body of the living soul and return to the yang world without being discovered by the ghosts of Fengdu."

Chen Yang: "Then let's go back to the original question, who are you? Purpose?" He said while clenching the bronze coin long whip in his hand.

Seeing this, the young man stepped back again and again in a kneeling posture, looking extremely funny.He said: "Don't be impulsive, you can talk if you have an agreement. I will not harm you, and I will help you. I just hope that you can take me away when you leave, because it is the incarnation of the dead city, so the ghosts inside can't leave There is no way to reincarnate in the yin house. I have been trapped here for more than [-] years, and finally saw the celestial master, so I was anxious to find you."

Chen Yang stared at the boy, who showed a flattering and harmless smile.He tightened the red thread of the bronze coin and tied it back to his wrist: "Speak."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly introduced himself: "My name is Mao Zhen, the second-generation descendant of Maoshan School No.80." When he mentioned this, his tone was quite proud.He said quite proudly: "I am also a young celestial master. Unlike other Mao family members, I got enlightened very early. When I was young, I entered the Wuliang Yin Mansion to seal the source of resentment. At that time, the Yin Mansion was not as many as ten houses, but only five. Lou, but only I can find the source of the resentment and seal it."

Chen Yang was a little tired from squatting, so he simply sat down cross-legged and faced Mao Zhen face to face: "But you haven't been able to leave the yin house."

Mao Zhen sighed: "If you want to blame, blame the source of the grievance for being too cunning. He can spy on your mind and turn into the appearance of the most important thing in your heart, making you addicted. I was almost addicted at the time, so I could turn the tide at a critical moment. Finally let The other celestial masters left safely." Speaking of other celestial masters, he asked enthusiastically, "Have you heard of Ma Shanfeng, Yi Fusheng, Meng Fu, and Yi Wei?"

Chen Yang didn't expect Mao Zhen to mention these familiar names, but thinking about Mao Zhen saying that he had been trapped for more than [-] years, when he entered the Yin Mansion, if he hadn't fallen in the Yin Mansion, he would probably be in his forties now .The Yi Fusheng and Yi Wei he was talking about were brothers and sisters, that is, Wu Chang Yi and the master of the Changdao Temple in Sichuan Province, and Meng Fu was the master of the Fire God Temple in the imperial capital, both of whom were familiar figures from the Celestial Masters world.

Mao Zhen said: "They are the other four people who entered the yin house with me at the beginning, are they still there now?"

Chen Yang nodded: "Yes." Mao Zhen showed nostalgia for the vicissitudes of life on his face, showing inconsistent emotions on such a young face, but it would not make people feel disobedient. "Are you the No.80 second-generation heir of the Maoshan School? The brother of the current head of the Maoshan School?"

"You mean Mao Lan? If I hadn't been trapped in the yin house and couldn't leave, I would be the head of the house now." Mao Zhen asked happily: "How is Mao Lan now? Is he enlightened? Is he married? Haha, when I left, he was still a A mentally handicapped teenager in the second grade, a short man."

Chen Yang put down his vigilance and vigilance: "It's good. I'm enlightened, and your nephew has also come in." When Mao Xiaoli was still in the branch office, she did tell everyone that she had an uncle who died young, who was very talented. As far as the third-rank celestial master of Wulei, he is a rare genius.

"Nephew?" Mao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then shrunk his shoulders in surprise after a while: "Nephew?! How old is it? What's your name?"

Chen Yang: "His name is Mao Xiaoying, and he is older than you now."

Mao Zhenfly rubbed his hands, and said in an excited tone, "I'm going to confess my relatives." Seeing Chen Yang, he changed the topic: "But first, I need to help you find the source of your resentment and seal him."

Chen Yang: "Do you know the source of the resentment?"

Mao Zhen: "Of course. I have been imprisoned for more than 20 years, and I have been paying attention to the movement track of the source of resentment. He will change into a different person, approach the celestial master to deceive them, and finally lock their souls in the deepest coffin or tomb of the yin house. "He pointed to himself, "I was imprisoned in the underground tomb, and I only escaped in the last few years."

Chen Yang: "You are being held underground, but you can still keep an eye on the movement track of the source of the resentment?"

Mao Zhen crawled behind Chen Yang and looked down through the skylight: "A lot of ghosts are coming outside, and the red lanterns in other houses are all lit up. This means that you are not the only celestial master who leaked his whereabouts, and the source of resentment will be revealed every few years. Seal, so now as soon as you hear that it is a celestial master, you will be ordered by the ghosts to catch you. As long as those ghosts catch you, they will have the opportunity to return to the mortal world." He turned around, saw Chen Yang's suspicious eyes, and was stunned With a serious expression, he said: "There are tens of thousands of ghosts in the yin house. They are trapped here, without offerings and freedom, so they are very greedy. Sometimes just a candy with human blood can do business with them, so I can Use them to learn the trajectory of the source of the grievance."

Chen Yang didn't know Mao Zhen, and what he knew about him was only Mao Xiaoli's accidental mention of him in the branch office.Even Ma Shanfeng didn't mention this man who had been dead for more than [-] years, but now that he was in this situation, he could only learn about the current situation in the yin house from Mao Zhen.

He got up and bent over to the skylight to look out. The unnamed house not far away and the nine houses connected behind were all lit up with red lanterns. Looking at it from a distance, he felt that the distant landscape was particularly magnificent.But if you get closer, you will find that it is a white bone skeleton wearing gorgeous clothes.

He asked: "What does the rainy day have to do with the source of resentment?"

Mao Zhen: "He likes cloudy and rainy days. Cloudy rain means that the grievances in the yin house are strong enough to a certain value and become real. Once the yin and rain appear in the yin house, it means that the grievances have reunited and the source has awakened, and the previous seal of the celestial master has lost its effect. So he likes it very much. On cloudy and rainy days, he will be in a good mood at this time, and he will release the ghosts imprisoned in the yin house regularly, so the Yunchi Hot Spring can only do business on cloudy and rainy days. Moreover, when he wakes up, it means that the celestial master will also come in."

That's why there is a saying that "on rainy days, guests come to visit". For old man Yun and the two boys in Yunchi Tangyu, "guests" refer to ghosts released from the yin house.For the source, 'ke' refers to the celestial master.

Mao Zhen knocked on the wall, it was empty inside, he said to Chen Yang: "Let's leave here first."
