Immortal Road [rebirth through the book]

After Yingshuo finished speaking, unexpectedly, the Lord of the Underworld gave a wry smile. He slapped his thigh with a look of resentment on his face: "Oh, the world is unpredictable, everything is defeated by a word of love. 100 Many years ago, the Soul-devouring Beast was about to exhaust its spiritual power, and in a few more years, it would be the time when its soul would fly away. Unexpectedly, a man died of illness at that time, and when he went down to the underworld, he was obsessed with it and refused to submit to Meng. Potang struggled to get away from the Yin Guard, ran out, came here by accident, accidentally became the belly of the Soul-devouring Beast."

scare!

"The dead man had a lot of Taoism. Once the Soul-devouring Beast devoured him, he recovered a lot of spiritual power, but at that time, this spiritual power was not enough to make the Soul-devouring Beast escape. However, things are unpredictable. There was another man who was the sweetheart of the swallowed man. When he heard that his sweetheart was swallowed by the Soul-devouring Beast, he was shocked and begged the Soul-devouring Beast to release the soul of his sweetheart, and he would agree to any conditions. Later, the Soul-devouring Beast After agreeing to this matter, the condition for releasing the soul is to let him liberate himself, after that..."

The Lord of the Underworld let out a long sigh, raised his eyes with one hand, and couldn't bear to speak any more.There is no need for him to explain further, just wait for a careful guess, and you will know a thing or two. On that day, blood must flow like a river, and the soul-devouring beast forcibly broke through the sea of ​​the underworld, and returned to the world. As for the man who released the soul-devouring beast...

"The man left, and he hasn't been seen until now, and no one can find out his whereabouts, so..." That's okay..."...The word "Yehao" was said softly, but Liu Muting was Hearing it, he frowned, and never said a word. He always felt that the Lord of the Underworld deliberately concealed something, otherwise why he just said that he could not find out his whereabouts. He didn't understand the entanglement. What he cares more about now is The whereabouts of the soul-devouring beast.

He walked forward, looked at the hair on the chain, closed his eyes, and suddenly a huge beast appeared in front of him.The whole body is white, it looks like a huge dog, its tail is like a ponytail, it has beautiful patterns on its body, and there is a hollow circle pattern on its head, and he relies on that pattern to attract people's souls.His appearance is not as ferocious and terrifying as the four fierce beasts, on the contrary, he is extremely kind. At first glance, you would think that he is a big dog that you can only get close to. If you want to get close to him, you will never think that the other party will harm you.That is to say, with this harmless appearance to humans and animals, he can get close to the human body and suck the soul.

Liu Muting always had a feeling that he knew this Soul-devouring Beast, and had once stained his hands with the Soul-devouring Beast's blood!

Looking up in astonishment, Liu Muting was horrified by his terrible discovery. Why did he have such an idea? He obviously didn't know Soul-devouring Beast at all, but when he heard the word Soul-devouring Beast, this kind of feeling came from the bottom of his heart. What happened to his murderous desire.

Yes, the desire to kill. Ever since he heard the word Soul-devouring Beast, he has always had a bloodthirsty urge. He wants to kill people, and he wants to leave the blood of that beast on his piano sword. He even likes Gao Standing on the low body of the beast, piercing his body over and over again, smelling his blood.This is a pure and kind-hearted man who has never had a violent impulsiveness.

"Mu Ting, Mu Ting, Mu Ting!"

The eager cry suppressed his surging desire, Liu Muting came back to his senses, and saw Jiu Yao anxiously calling beside him.

He lost his mind again.

"Let's go." The Lord of the Underworld narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the returning Jiu Yao, and walked away.

Liu Muting broke out in a sweat, leaned softly in Jiu Yao's arms, gasping for breath, he didn't even know where the Lord of the Underworld took them behind him, when he finally woke up from the boundless fear and irritability, I found myself in a room, and Jiu Yao was beside him, fetching water for him, and preparing to wash his face.

"Mu Ting, are you okay?" The warm cloth covered his face, brushing away the restlessness in Liu Muting's heart.

Sighing, Liu Muting forced a smile, shook his head and asked, "Where did you go just now?"

"Just now I sensed the aura of Ying Kong, so I went after him," Jiu Yao gritted his teeth while wiping Liu Muting's face and explained, "How did I know that I was chased by me? Empty and fast. This guy is unreliable at critical times. If we had had his help in the previous battle of Tianji Island, we wouldn't have fought so hard."

"Tianji Island," Liu Muting felt relieved when talking about Tianji Island, "I don't know what happened to Grandpa and the others."

"Don't worry, there are so many spiritual practitioners there, I'm afraid that those few undead souls will fail. The gate of the underworld has been closed, and these undead souls can't go out one after another. It's very easy to solve."

"That's right," Liu Muting leaned his head on Jiu Yao's shoulder, found a comfortable position, and leaned against it, "It's up to fate, I hope Hua Die can protect Grandpa well, as for us, we really don't know when we will be able to go up Woolen cloth."

"Oh," Jiu Yao responded, and after wiping the cloth towel in his hand on his face a few times, he raised his hand high and threw the cloth towel into the basin, hugged Liu Muting and kissed a few times, "Just now you What did they say?"

"It's nothing." Thinking about the Soul-devouring Beast, Liu Muting's heart was blocked again, he didn't want to say more, so he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, he was awakened by Jiuyao's urgent call. He opened his eyes dimly and found that his head was swollen and his headache was splitting. I have a high fever and need more rest.

High fever?Liu Muting mused in a daze, he didn't seem to have been sick for a long time, how could he suddenly have a high fever here, but maybe it was because he was frightened.

In a daze, he fell into a deep sleep again, and couldn't hear the voices around him again.

But at night, he heard a very strange sound in the air, like someone's low panting, or an uncontrollable muffled hum.This voice is not from Jiu Yao or someone close to him, it is very strange.

He forced a small slit through his eyes, looked around, but couldn't see anything clearly, but he could feel a spiritual pressure approaching him, he wanted to move, wanted to resist, but was shocked to find that he couldn't move , Even the eyelids gradually became heavy.

"Jiu Yao..." With a dry throat, he couldn't make a sound, and even the intermittent word Jiu Yao could only be muffled in his nasal cavity. Where did Jiu Yao go, Jiu Yao, Jiu Yao!

"I'm sorry, for him, I have to kill you!" The heavy panting approached, and he couldn't tell who the voice came from, but he could feel the trembling and hesitation in the voice.

bass!He felt a strange black light in front of his eyes, sealing his last sliver of clarity, and then his head became dizzy. He only heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed, and felt the deep cold light of the sword pressing towards his neck.

Jiuyao, where are you, Jiuyao, Jiuyao!

boom!

There was a sound of kicking the door, as if a hot fire had rubbed on the head, and the sword was opened, and there was another strange "ding" sound in the air, as if it had hit some hard crystal object, and then, forced The person's spiritual pressure disappeared, and Jiu Yao's voice came to his ears.

"Mu Ting, you're fine, you're fine!" Feeling being hugged by someone, with his back pressed against his warm chest, Liu Muting slowly opened his eyes, which was imprinted in Jiu Yao's worried eyes, "Jiu Yao..."

"Mu Ting," Jiu Yao stretched out his hand to touch Liu Mu Ting's hot cheek, and kissed his cheek anxiously, "You are fine, damn it, that ghost escaped too fast, after a while, he didn't know where he went. Do you know what the hell that thing is?"

Shaking his head weakly, Liu Muting replied very weakly: "I don't know, but it seems that the man has no murderous intent."

"No murderous intent, how could it hurt you!" Jiu Yao obviously didn't believe it, but Liu Muting had already lost his strength and couldn't explain it. After Jiu Yao poured him a sip of water, he fell into a deep sleep.

For the next few days, Jiu Yao and Liu Muting were inseparable, taking care of him personally, even if Jiu Yao really wanted to leave, he would drag Xi Pu and Yingshuo to guard Liu Muting.Hearing about the night attack from Jiu Yao, Xi Putong Yingshuo didn't dare to neglect, so he took care of Liu Muting and took care of him as best he could.

Unexpectedly, Liu Muting's illness did not know whether it was a heart disease or what caused it, but he could not get better for a long time, even the ghost doctor was helpless, he could only prescribe some medicines to reduce the temperature.Under such circumstances, Jiu Yao thought that the Yin power here was too strong, which disturbed Liu Muting's cold body, so he proposed to take Liu Muting out.

However, the answer from the Lord of the Underworld shocked them.

On this day, the Lord of the Underworld heard that Jiu Yao had proposed to leave, so he came to Liu Muting's room to visit him.

He poured his own spiritual power into his hand, took Liu Muting's hand, and with a light touch, his brows furrowed.

"You have a heart demon. The disease comes from your fear, not from my Yin power in Huangquan, and you seem to be corroded by Yin power later on?"

"The erosion of Yin power? Could it be that ghost thing!" Jiu Yao said anxiously, and immediately told what happened to Liu Muting that night. The Lord of Huangquan frowned and asked, "What does that ghost thing look like? Do you remember. "

Jiu Yao rubbed his chin, thought for a long time, but shook his head: "I can't see what it looks like, it's just black. Once I hit the fire, I seem to see the black robe, and I can't see the face clearly. Instead, I heard the fire light splashing on something, and there was a ding."

"Not a sword?" Liu Muting asked weakly.

"No, it's definitely not a sword. Although he resisted with the sword for a while, the light of the fire brushed the sword and splashed out. But as for what he hit, I don't know. He disappeared all of a sudden, as if sneaking Arrived in the shadow? But the man's aura disappeared again, ah," Jiu Yao clapped his palm, "Didn't I also suffer from the attack of the shadow spirit before, could it be that this thing came out to attack us again?"

"Shadow?" The Lord of the Underworld stopped holding his long bearded hands, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. "You were attacked by a shadow spirit. When, let me tell you."

Jiu Yao then told the story of being attacked by a ghost in Xueyao Mountain before, but saw that the Lord of the Underworld frowned even tighter, and continued: "It can't be a ghost, a ghost is an extremely low-level spirit, even if You can't see it if you sneak into the shadows, but with your spiritual power, you can definitely find it out."

Scared, the spirits were shocked, what would it be if it wasn't a shadow spirit.

The Lord of the Underworld put down his bearded hand, put his hands behind his back, and walked around the room in circles. After a while, Fang replied: "Demons."

"Demon? What's that?"

The wrinkle on the forehead of the Lord of the Underworld stretched out a word of Sichuan, and a sigh came out of his mouth: "Ghosts are immortal souls with dual cultivation of yin power and magic power. Diving into the shadows, the spiritual power is extremely high, but the method of cultivation is extremely painful, and one must endure many unbearable pains for ordinary people. Once the cultivation is successful, the spiritual power will be higher than that of ordinary immortal souls. And this kind of cultivation method can even make ordinary people The soul gave birth to a spiritual body and a physical body, with a youthful state that will not age."

"Huh? Could it be that Yingkong is a ghost?" Liu Muting asked doubtfully.

"Yingkong?" Hu, the master of the underworld, asked, "I've heard you say the name of this person twice. Who is it?"

Jiu Yao then briefly explained the existence of Shadow Kong to him, and the eyes of the Lord of the Underworld followed Jiu Yao's explanation from the original bright to gloomy.

At the end of Jiu Yao's words, he sighed wistfully: "It's not him, alas, it's really not him. I really hope it's him, but I don't want it to be him." In one sentence, there are a few other words, Among them, the emotions seem to be pity and sadness.

"Quanzhu, I don't know what you mean by him?" Liu Muting couldn't help but wondered in his heart, and asked.

The Lord of the Underworld sighed again, waved his hands and said the words choked in his throat: "What I said was a dog. Actually, to tell you the truth, I came today to ask you something. Let's put it this way, decades ago , my dog ​​disappeared unexpectedly, after my initial inquiries, he came to the world, and..." He suddenly choked up, and when he looked at Liu Muting's deep gaze, a trace of guilt appeared on his face, he turned away and looked at others On him, "After he disappeared, the heavens changed in Huangquan, and the Soul-devouring Beast followed. Huangquan, I have to give up. But the matter is not over yet, I, the Lord of Huangquan in the past, must guard the hell of Huangquan, and cannot go out at will. That's the worry."

"Why?" Liu Muting leaned against the head of the bed under Jiu Yao's service, and adjusted a comfortable posture.

"I am old and my spiritual power is not much left, and my only dog ​​disappeared many years ago. He is the only one who can inherit my mantle and suppress Huangquan. If he can't do it before I leave If you come back to guard Huangquan, then Huangquan will be in great danger."

"Quanzhu, the implication of your words is..."

"Our master of the underworld has been hereditary in all generations. If he has no heirs, he needs to pour all his spiritual power and blood into the candidate before he dies. Although I can also use this method to infuse spiritual power to others However, after many years of experience in the battle against the Soul-devouring Beast, Huang Quan was seriously injured, and there are very few people who can inherit me. You have also seen before that we are powerless to resist when the soul rushes out of Huang Quan. With your help, it can be seen that my spiritual power can no longer maintain here."

"You mean, let us find your own son for you?" Liu Muting lowered his head and asked.

The Lord of Huangquan nodded heavily, and said sadly: "Yes, I hope that if one day you return to the human world, I hope you can help me find my relatives. He came to the world many years ago, and now I don't know where to go."

"Yes, but we need to know what he looks like first."

Liu Muting smiled knowingly, but when the Lord of the Underworld took out the portrait of his own son, his smile froze.

The one in this painting is not a person, but a human-shaped skeleton, a skeleton that couldn't be more simple, with no decorations on its body, and nothing special about the skeleton, so where did they find it!

Not only him, but all the spirits also froze.

"Quanzhu, there are so many skeletons in the world, how can we find them?" Liu Muting's mouth twitched slightly, not knowing what words to use to express the shock in his heart.

The spring master also knew that this matter was too difficult, so he sighed from the bottom of his heart. In just a few words, he sighed countless times. At this moment, he was like an ordinary old man, as if he was waiting for the coming of death. Abandon.

"I know this is difficult, but I really can't think of any way. When the dog was by my side, he never gave birth to a physical body, and his spiritual power is not high, and it can even be said to be extremely weak. I originally planned to After I died, I poured my whole body of spiritual power into him. How could I know that an accident caused him to go to the human world from the underworld. I also sent Yinwei to look for him, but Yinwei couldn't see the light for a long time. Nothing."

"Here is a bracelet imbued with my spiritual power. You should take this thing with you. If you see the dog by chance, show this thing and tell him that the father is looking for him. I hope he can find him while the father is still alive." , come to visit my father, as for the rest, alas, it is only my fault that I dote on him too much, so that he does not kiss me, I just hope you can persuade me well and help me find him back." Saying, Spring Master He actually bent down and bowed deeply to Liu Muting.

Liu Muting hurriedly helped Renxu up, and sighed: "Quanzhu, there is no need to be so polite, we will do our best to help you. But, how should we get out."

When it came to this question, the Lord of the Underworld was uncharacteristically silent. After pondering for a long time, he continued, "I'm afraid, we will have to wait 50 years."

"What!" Everyone was shocked.

"50 years, why!" Liu Muting was also anxious.

"Those skeletons that were covered by your fairy cauldron before were actually transformed by many souls in the underworld. More than 100 years ago, the soul-devouring beast escaped, but his resentment had not dissipated at that time. After accumulating for 50 years, he gave birth to The Wraith Skeleton attacked the Yin guards and disturbed the underworld. At that time, my spiritual power was not as weak as it is today. After a little effort, I finally suppressed the Wraith Skeleton, but unexpectedly, 50 years later, seven On the fourteenth day of the lunar month, when the yin power was at its peak, the resentful spirit skeleton was born again, and it was much stronger than before. I think this soul-devouring beast absorbed a lot of souls when it was in the human world, and its spiritual power increased greatly, so that it affected The resentment in the underworld has made the resentment skeleton even more powerful. Now it is the third 50 years."

The Lord of the Underworld paused and waved his hands to explain: "But don't get me wrong, it's not that I intentionally left you here to help me deal with the grievances. It's just that every 50 years, the gate to the Underworld will open once every [-] years. Yinwei went out, captured some vicious and vicious souls into the underworld to purify them, and released some pure-hearted spirits born in the underworld, allowing them to cultivate in the human world, or become ghosts and immortals, or cultivate into ghosts and demons. Because the purification of the soul does not happen overnight, if the gate of the underworld is opened every year, the place will be full of resentful souls with great grievances, which will cause huge pressure on the underworld. If the spiritual power is not sustained, it may lead to riots, yes I'm sorry, but I don't have enough spiritual power right now, so I can't take this risk. The last time the gate of the underworld was opened, it was a few days ago, and it's closed now, and I also have some selfish intentions, I hope you can help me to make the next time The resentful spirits born will be destroyed."

"Thank you very much!" The Lord of the Underworld bowed again, seeming to kneel down and bow down, but Liu Muting helped him up, "It's not impossible for us to stay here, but I'm a mortal body. His hair is already gray, even if he can really go out of the world, he will return to the underworld in a few years."

Saying this, his heart choked up, he was with all the spirits, he almost forgot that he was just an ordinary mortal, he didn't have an extremely long lifespan like a spiritual creature, and that he lived a long life if he could pass a hundred years old .

The Lord of the Underworld vowed: "Although you have not yet reached the realm of cultivating immortals, I have a high-grade elixir that can prolong your life here, which can help you prolong your life. And I see that your fate is descended from heaven. You must not be a short-lived person. I will go to you in a while." Take the book of life and death, and you will know how long you have lived in this life."

This is true, but it is not allowed for Liu Muting and others to refuse to stay. For the current plan, what can Liu Muting do? I have no choice but to agree, hoping that one day, I will be able to achieve great success in cultivation, and prolong my life without relying on the assistance of external force pills.

Hearing that they agreed, the Lord of the Underworld ran out joyfully, brought the life and death book, and was so excited that he couldn't even turn the page: "Look, you must have a long life, you must be a long life." Not knowing where this self-confidence from the bottom of his heart came from, Liu Muting only watched him turn the page, holding Jiu Yao's hand, and couldn't tell whether it was nervousness or excitement in his heart.He was afraid that the so-called life span was changed by the Lord of the Underworld fooling him, and he was also afraid that what he saw was a short life, which would one day be separated from the Nine Luminaries Yin and Yang.

However, the result turned up shocked everyone.
