Chapter One Hundred and Twenty No Taboos
The snow began to fall again at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, fluttering and gentle, like falling flowers, falling to the ground, and disappeared in an instant, like a drop of water falling into the sea.
I came to look for Hanyan as promised, walked in the snow for a long time, looked down at the time, it was almost 10:54 at night, and I stood under the old locust tree wrapped in thick winter clothes. The branches of the old locust tree were bare and covered with snow. The green leaf locust flowers created by the cold smoke casting spell in the morning seemed to be Nan Ke's dream. Now, when I woke up from my dream, it was still an old locust tree in winter.
"Hanyan!" I stood in front of the tree, took the flashlight and shouted loudly.
A cold air instantly rose from the soles of the feet and reached all limbs. The air seemed to be frozen, and then I heard a faint sentence.
"I am here."
The moonlight tonight is very beautiful. The elegant moonlight pours on the white snow like water, as beautiful as a scroll. I turned off the flashlight and used the moonlight to see clearly the cold smoke standing in front of me. This time she was using women's clothing, which made her look a lot and walked over gracefully, and stopped in front of me with four or five steps.
"Hanyan." I swallowed, "You promised me to send me to the underworld today."
Han Yan nodded calmly, "Yes."
"Then hurry up, I'm tight at this time and heavy tasks." I urged.
At midnight, it is about the two hours from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the evening. At this time, the yang energy begins to gradually deplete, and the yin energy gradually prospers. At exactly twelve o'clock, the yin energy is equal. Once twelve o'clock, the yin energy will be greater than the yang energy. Two o'clock in the morning can be said to be the most prosperous time. If I can't come back before this, then it may be a good fortune.
I suddenly remembered Xiaoyue. Although I haven't seen her for several months, somehow I missed her very much at this moment. If she were there, I would probably have a higher chance of coming back alive.
With Han Yan's consent, I began to use the Soul-Leaving Technique, which was similar to the routine I had fought with Mother Yasha before. I used the soul-capturing talisman to separate the three souls and seven souls from the body, and then entered the underworld in the form of a soul.
After closing my eyes and reciting the formula and method, I felt that my body was getting heavier and heavier with the huge pressure. My legs could hardly support my body. After passing the critical point, I felt my body gradually becoming lighter. I realized that my soul had broken away from my body.
So I opened my eyes and sure enough, I saw myself lying at my feet.
The Soul Leaving Success has been successful.
I looked at Han Yan, who didn't say much nonsense. While raising his hand and using magic to lift my body up, he gently placed it under the roots of the old locust tree, and instructed me to stand in front of the old locust tree, stretching out my right hand to press against the thick and cold trunk. I felt the coolness from my palms and fingertips. In the cold winter, the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in a few weeks. In the past years, I spent with my master. Now... hey, people are cold and tea is cold, and things are changing.
"I will help you take good care of your body and avoid being eroded by cold snow." Han Yan said softly, a faint green light condensed in her palm, and she raised her hand to shoot out the green light. The green light seemed to turn into a net in the air, gently covering my body, playing a protective film.
"Thank you." I nodded gratefully.
Han Yan began to cast spells, allowing my soul to merge with the old locust tree, and then went straight to the underworld through the roots.
"Hua Shuangyi, the soul of the living soul cannot stay in the underworld for too long. After you arrive in the underworld, you must remember where you are. No matter what you want to do, you must return to that place before 2 a.m., otherwise you will never come back. Do you understand?"
The cold and gentle voice of cold smoke sounded behind me. After hearing it, I could not think about what it meant, and I was already caught in a huge vortex. I felt like I was doing a roller coaster. I couldn't help but shout.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Bang!
I fell heavily to the ground, still facing down, making me dizzy and feel my internal organs tangled together, so I felt so uncomfortable that I just wanted to vomit.
"No, no, no, I'm going to die... Cough cough cough cough cough cough..." I climbed up to myself and found myself in a dark forest, surrounded by trees. I looked up at the sky and found that there was no sun, no stars and moon in the sky, only a blood-red area, hanging in the sky like a curtain, and I knew that this was indeed the underworld.
But...How come there are trees in the underworld? Could it be that the tree demon sent me, so it was the woods that landed on the ground. Is it related to this?
When I mentioned the tree demon, I suddenly remembered what Han Yan said to me before leaving.
It seems that I need to remember where I came to the underworld... Should I let me remember where I am now?
It should be.
I held my breath and concentrated, using spells to leave a "qi" where I am standing now.
This "qi" does not refer to the air you breathe, but is all the spiritual power of the practitioners. I left a ray of "qi" here, which has almost no effect on others, but for myself, it is like a mark, which means that no matter how far I go, I can find it back.
The mark is ready, so now, I have to think about how to find the Emperor of the Underworld.
Yes, look for the Emperor of the Underworld.
I later held a meeting with Xiao Wanting and the others to discuss it, and finally decided to divide the troops into two groups. One was led by Xiao Wanting to find out the whereabouts of the children. For this reason, I also kept the tracking incense for her and taught her the methods and heart techniques to use. The other team was naturally me, the commander of the bare hands. My mission was to go to the underworld to find a way to meet the Emperor of the Underworld, tell him everything, and ask him to come forward to stop the Black Rakshasa.
There is only one thing, there is a small technical question at present... Where am I now?
I took out the gossip compass and wanted to point out the direction, but found that this thing was useless in the underworld, so I could only put away the compass and used a more high-end method like to toss a coin to decide how to go.
"If it's the side with the characters, go forward, if it's the side with the flowers, go backward." I made up my mind and started to toss the coins, but after throwing them up, I realized that it was not only the front and back, but also the left and right sides! No, I have to bring a dice next time I come to the underworld.
The coin was thrown up and dropped for only a second. When I saw that it was the flower side, I turned around and walked backwards.
When I walked away, I realized that these trees were not woods around me at all, because when I walked to a tree and wanted to stop and rest, I suddenly found that the tree looked very strange, bare and without leaves, as if it was a dead forest. When I got close, I widened my eyes and realized that this forest was not a wood, it was clearly the dead ghost tied here and punished!
These are not living people, but after they die, they come to the underworld, and are punished and finally tied to this place because they did a great evil thing during their lifetime.
The ghost will not die, so no matter how much suffering it has endured, it can only hold on until its soul is scattered. I looked at the body that had almost dried up into a skeleton, and it looked very terrifying, reflecting the blood-red light in the sky. When I first saw it, my heart almost jumped out of my throat.
I felt so furious about it, but I still comforted myself that it was fine, and then tried to walk forward as straight as possible, without even daring to look at both sides.
"Oh—————”
Occasionally, a ghost who couldn't stand it made a shrill cry, and when I heard it, I felt that my eardrums were about to break. I walked forward with my teeth, silently chanting the Heart Sutra in my heart, keeping my mind clear and not being infected by such innocent things.
But somehow, these dead ghosts seemed to be able to hear my heart. The shrill shouts that only occasionally sounded one or two suddenly became more and more. I felt like I was surrounded by sounds, and I was surrounded by real 3D three-dimensional! The kind of scalp was numb!
"There are no taboos, all evil people avoid it!" I pinched my heart's skills and roared.
Suddenly, everything became purified.
I looked up at the blood-red sky, then lowered my head to continue walking.
"Hey, hey! Young man!"
Someone suddenly called me behind me, and I knew I couldn't pay attention to him. There were many strange and strange things in the underworld, so I didn't want to lose my life.
So I speeded up and wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
"You can't leave, this is a maze. If you don't listen to me, you will only be trapped here." The voice continued.
I heard the voice of an elderly woman, and I was very hoarse and hoarse.
Forget it, I can't get out anyway, so I want to see what she is going to do.
"Who are you?!" I shouted.
"Come here." The sound seemed to be around me.
I searched with my voice and finally found her on one of the crosses. She was tied tightly like other ghosts, her face was black all over, and she couldn't see clearly. She felt like she was talking to a black skeleton.
"Who are you? Why are you calling me?" I asked standing beside her, her tone so that she could know that I was not easy to mess with.
"Hahahaha--" the female ghost laughed, "It doesn't matter who I am. To put it bluntly, you are in the underworld now. What else can I be if I am not a ghost?"
I didn't want to talk to her anymore, so I turned around and was about to leave, so she hurriedly called me again.
"Hey hey, you're back, why are you leaving? I've been waiting for a few years to come and save me." The female ghost said in a hoarse voice.
"Who said I came to save you?" I found it a little funny.
"Are you an Onmyoji? I was a fortune teller during my lifetime. Our ancestors should have mastered the same school. It is not an exaggeration to call me a master and grandma according to seniority." The female ghost said.
I felt even more unreasonable and turned around and wanted to leave, but she stopped me again.
"Why are you young man so anxious?" the female ghost continued, "I have told myself a fortune from the first day I came here. I have calculated that someone will come to save me from the sea of suffering today."
"I'm so sorry, I'm still busy, see you again." I waved my hand and turned my head to leave. Unexpectedly, the female ghost sneered twice and suddenly spoke.
"Aren't you surprised why I am the only one who can speak?"
