Chapter 17 Entering the Underworld
I saw her eyes closed, almost like me, a soul body appeared from the Baihui acupoint, floating into the air, reaching out to grab the corner of my clothes, and then showing a satisfied look.
"Damn!"
I couldn't help but exclaim.
This time, her expression really changed. I could clearly feel it, which means a satisfied expression.
After being stunned for a moment, I quickly shouted and asked Qi Tianchuan for help.
"Big Boss, come and see what's going on."
"What's wrong?"
Hearing my shout, Qi Tianchuan kicked open the door and rushed in with a "bang".
Immediately afterwards, when he saw the situation in the room, he was stunned and stood there blankly.
"I'll go, what's going on with you two?"
After a long time, Qi Tianchuan said blankly.
"You ask me, who will I ask?"
I looked bitter and briefly described what happened just now.
"Did she run out by herself?"
Qi Tianchuan looked surprised and stared at the woman's soul and observed carefully, "I said, what did you do to her?"
"What can I do?"
When I heard this, I felt unreasonable, but if I think about it carefully, we had never done anything out of the ordinary except accompanying each other to the toilet.
Could it be that the content of the Taoist scriptures I talked about for a day caused the change?
Thinking of this, I was about to ask him, but when Qi Tianchuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Miracle, it has really begun to merge with the fragments of the soul. Although it is only a tiny trace, it is a good start. I didn't expect it to be so soon."
He muttered to himself, pinched out the magic trick, raised his hand and put away the woman's soul body and pressed it back into his body. Then he pulled out a piece of talisman paper, and put it on the woman's forehead with a "splash", just like a zombie fighting in Hong Kong movies.
Qi Tianchuan moved quickly. After doing all this, he didn't know where to turn out a long rope. He tied the woman inside and out to get to know her, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman slowly opened her eyes and found that she had returned to her body. When she looked at me floating in the air, she suddenly seemed a little anxious and her body kept twisting, as if she wanted to get close to me.
But she was tied too tightly by the rope and could not make any big moves. Her head was sealed by Qi Tianchuan with a spell, and she could not leave her soul, and she seemed extremely anxious for a moment.
"It's done, it's okay this time. Hurry up and let's go and do your grandpa's business first."
Qi Tianchuan clapped his palms and said with a relaxed look on his face.
I looked at the woman's anxious expression, and hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not good to just leave her here like this."
"Otherwise? Do you have any other solutions?"
Qi Tianchuan gave me a blank look.
"Or why don't we just put her away and take her to the underworld together?"
I said tentatively.
"impossible."
Qi Tianchuan shook his head flatly, "Not to mention the strict rules of the underworld, you need to register for entry and exit. Even this woman's earth soul cannot leave her body for a long time. She was forcibly penetrated into her body by me. Her own soul has not fully adapted to the state of physical body. If she leaves for too long, it may cause an accident. What's more, she has already shown signs of fusion with the fragments of the life soul. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she leaves for too long and the fusion is interrupted, she will never be able to recover in her life."
Qi Tianchuan said seriously.
I understood and looked at the woman. Although I couldn't bear it, I could only do this for her good. I didn't hesitate anymore and said to Qi Tianchuan, "Let's go, we'll do it as soon as possible."
Qi Tianchuan nodded, walked out of the room, found a comfortable position to lie down, then left his body, grabbed me with one hand, and floated out of the room.
The woman's eyes kept staring in my direction, and as I floated away, she seemed more and more urgent.
I forced myself to be cruel and no longer see her.
When he and Qi Tianchuan floated outside the door, he pointed casually and a hazy mist slowly floated out, revealing one of the narrow stone roads.
Qi Tianchuan and I got into the fog and walked slowly along the stone path below.
The surrounding fog was particularly rich, and we were completely surrounded by just a moment after entering.
Looking back, there was the same thick fog behind me, and I could no longer see the original scene, as if I was completely isolated from the world.
"Stop looking at it randomly. This is the Yin-Yang channel. There is nothing to look at. You will reach the underworld for about a quarter of an hour after walking, and it will be very fast."
Qi Tianchuan spoke in a faint voice.
I nodded slightly and kept floating forward with him.
Without reference objects, I could not judge how far I had floated on this road, nor could I calculate the time. Qi Tianchuan said about a quarter of an hour, but in my feeling, it seemed that it had only changed for a moment. Then, I felt my body sinking, the thick fog around me disappeared, and the two of them appeared in a place that looked like a hall.
People were coming and going around, and people kept appearing suddenly, but it did not attract everyone's attention.
I watched around curiously.
These people who appear are men, women, young and old. Some have calm expressions, while others are like me, looking particularly curious.
And there is always a staff member wearing black work clothes and like a government unit who comes forward, asks a few questions, and then leads him to a certain window.
A staff member saw me and came over and asked, "Hello, is this the first time?"
I was about to answer, but Qi Tianchuan reached out and pulled me to the side, and replied to the staff, "I brought it, I don't have the identity, I will leave if I do something."
After saying that, he took out a black document and handed it over.
The staff took it, checked it, nodded respectfully, "I understand, sir, please go here."
After returning the ID to Qi Tianchuan, the staff immediately reached out and led us to walk aside.
Qi Tianchuan and I followed behind me. At this time, I found that there were many passages on both sides of the hall, marked with different names.
There were a lot of people in line at two of the exits and were constantly moving forward slowly, while Qi Tianchuan and I were taken to the third exit by the staff.
There was no one here except us.
Others who were queuing up to find out this situation and looked at us one after another.
"Is the underworld also special and has VIP access?"
I was whispered in my heart, but I don’t know if there are any taboos, so I don’t want to ask casually.
After following Qi Tianchuan out of the hall, I looked at him and asked secretly, "Hey, why are we the two of us just now?"
"That was for the living people. We were not dead, so we just came down to do our business, so we naturally didn't have to queue up with them."
Qi Tianchuan explained, "The place we came in can be understood as the entrance and exit hall of the underworld. The new dead ghosts have their first registration. After familiarizing themselves with the common sense of the underworld, they can find a job to make money, prepare for reincarnation, etc. Others are old ghosts. Because of some things, they need to return to the Sun World. After registering and paying the fee, they can go back and go there to finish the work before rushing back."
"The ghosts who come to our store to ask for help usually fall into this category."
"I see."
I nodded and then asked curiously, "Ghosts can go to the world so unscrupulously. Isn't the underworld afraid that they won't come back?"
"What are you afraid of? If you don't want to come to the underworld, then don't come. They have become ghosts. They are not used to it in the world. After all, no one can see them, and they usually cannot affect living people. That feeling of loneliness is extremely terrifying. Moreover, for ghosts, the world is full of dangers, and maybe when they don't pay attention, they will lose their souls."
"Now, there is no dead spoil left, and there is no chance of reincarnation. So if it is not necessary, they will not choose to stay in the world unless there are some special circumstances, such as practicing with a ghost body, harming humans, etc. At this time, people like me need to take action, and the underworld will also arrange for secret messengers to go to arrest him."
I understand, it seems that the underworld is completely different from what I imagined.
Compared with the rumored underworld, this place is actually more free. Instead of being taken into custody like a prisoner once you enter.
Walk out of the hall.
Outside is an extremely vast world, with tall buildings, pavilions, countless ancient buildings, and residential communities with obvious modern style.
It's like a metropolis mixed with all the cultural backgrounds of China.
On the street, there were also dense cars passing by, and there were crowds of people on both sides. There were many young men wearing briefcases and short jackets and leather shoes.
"How is it? Is it spectacular?"
Seeing me appearing like a rustic bun entering the city, Qi Tianchuan said with a smile.
“It’s really spectacular.”
I replied sincerely.
"This is just a city in the underworld. There are 38,000 in the underworld in total, and 79.2 billion ghosts, which is more than ten times the total population of the world."
"After all, ghosts will not die without accidents. They can survive for a long time. Some of them are even unwilling to be reincarnated. There are many people living here for a long time. If it weren't for the underworld that they had to be reincarnated for five hundred years without special contributions, they would probably have to be reincarnated several times."
Qi Tianchuan's thoughtful way.
I was shocked by the data he said, and it took me a long time to react, "There are so many, my god."
"By the way, what about foreign countries? Where did those foreigners go when they die? Are they also coming to our underworld?"
Suddenly thinking of this question, I couldn't help asking curiously.
"The underworld is exclusive to China, and there is no access to this place abroad. However, if there are foreigners who die here, you can enter. In addition, some of them have similar underworlds, but some have not experienced the Age of the Conquest of Gods, so there is no such place."
"For example, in some countries, you always hear that their haunted is very serious. It is because of this that it is fine if the souls of a dead person dissipate, but once they become ghosts and have nowhere to go, they will sooner or later become madmen. After any adventure, they will continue to harass the living."
I nodded secretly and couldn't help but think of a country that was not very friendly. I heard that they were often haunted.
