Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Underworld
Seeing Shang Xin sitting on the sofa in a daze, the Lingkui Witch walked up to Shang Xin and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Xin, if you are a monk, you should have this awareness, because the impermanence of heaven is elusive, and the people around you may leave you at any time, if there are too many entanglements in your heart, it will definitely affect your progress." ”
This was the first time that Shang Xin had remembered that the Lingkui Witch had called himself like this, and he felt particularly affectionate, because only the elders of the family would call themselves that. He looked at the Lingkui Witch, squeezed out a helpless smile, and said, "Sister Lingkui, I understand. ”
"Well, the cultivation realm is so cruel, you still have to get used to it after all. Okay, you adjust yourself first, I'll ask a senior to help us protect the Dharma, after all, our souls leave the physical body and go to the underworld, but the physical body that remains in the mortal world still needs to be guarded by someone, otherwise the physical body will be destroyed by a sneak attack, then we can really only stay in the underworld for a lifetime. The witch said lightly.
Shang Xin was taken aback when he heard that his soul was about to leave his body, and he asked incredulously, "Sister Lingkui, can the soul still return to its place after leaving the body?"
The Lingkui Witch pursed her lips and smiled, "As long as we come back within 72 hours, it's fine." ”
"What happens if I don't come back in 72 hours?" Shang Xin immediately asked.
"Then we will become vegetative or die, because our physical body is not an immortal body after all, and we cannot withstand the kind of evil aura of the underworld, in other words, other monks can only travel through the underworld with their physical bodies if they have the cultivation of demon kings, earth immortals, demon immortals, arhats, or above, otherwise they can only rely on their souls to go. The Spirit Lady explained.
"Wouldn't that be dangerous, in case of an accident...... Wouldn't that ......," Shang Xin asked, a little worried.
"Danger is all around us all the time, and only by moving forward bravely and overcoming all the fears in our hearts can we achieve great repairs. The Lingkui Witch said to herself.
Although Shang Xin didn't understand this, because it didn't seem to be directly related to Shang Xin's worries, there were still inextricable links in the dark. The implication of what the Lingkui Witch said is that in order to achieve great cultivation, you must be fearless, and it is possible to succeed by overcoming fear again and again. To put it more simply, if you try, you will have a chance of success, and if you don't try, you will never succeed.
So, Shang Xin also seemed to understand and hummed, and the Lingkui Witch also went out to find the senior in her mouth at this time.
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, the Lingkui Witch returned to room 1818 with an old man dressed as a Taoist priest.
This old Taoist priest looks like a fairy wind and bones, his head is covered with silver threads, his face is covered with silver hair, he looks like he is more than 100 years old, but his mental outlook is almost the same as that of a young man in his twenties and thirties, he holds a whisk in one hand and twists his beard in the other, and when he sees Shang Xin in the door, he says: "Immeasurable Tianzun!"
The Lingkui Witch immediately introduced: "This is the Dao Master of the Empty Xuanzi, he is the Hidden Elder of the Mortal Dust Cultivator Alliance, and he is already a cultivator in the middle stage of the Earth Immortal. ”
Hearing that the other party was already a cultivator in the middle stage of the Earth Immortal, Shang Xin suddenly became in awe, he immediately folded his hands and said respectfully: "Kong Xuanzi Dao is good, my name is Shang Xin, I am honored to meet you." ”
Daoist Kong Xuanzi just smiled kindly and said, "Lingkui has already roughly told me about Xiaoyou's affairs on the road, and Poor Dao was still very worried at first. But when I entered the door, I was relieved to see that Xiaoyou was surrounded by purple qi, because this is a good omen, so Poor Dao can now assert that you will definitely have a great harvest when you go. ”
Hearing what the Daoist of the Empty Xuanzi said, the Lingkui Witch couldn't help but get excited, and Shang Xin asked even more excitedly, "Did the Daoist see something?"
The Daoist of the Empty Xuanzi shook off the dust beautifully, and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this is a heavenly opportunity. ”
Hearing what the Empty Xuanzi Daoist said, Shang Xin didn't want to ask any more, and the Lingkui Witch on the side said: "The Empty Xuanzi Daoist, it's almost time, we are ready to go, and the physical body is still bothering you to take care of it." ”
The head of the empty Xuanzi Dao shook off the dust beautifully, and said, "Since the poor Dao is here, I will help you." ”
After speaking, he waved the dust in the air, and suddenly a black hole appeared in the void, and then he gently touched Shang Xin's eyebrows with a finger, and Shang Xin's soul immediately unconsciously peeled off from his body.
Seeing that Shang Xin's soul had been separated from her body, the Lingkui Witch immediately used exercises to separate her soul from her body.
Shang Xin only felt that it was amazing when he looked at all this, but the plots that were originally only in those fantasy novels really happened in front of his eyes, and he experienced it himself.
Just when Shang Xin was in a daze, the Spirit Aoi Witch also completed the separation of her soul from her body, and she immediately urged, "Let's go." ”
Then, he pulled Shang Xin and jumped into the black hole.
In an instant, they came to a strange space, which was the underworld. The environment here is not much different from that of mortal dust, and it is not as eerie and terrifying as described in the TV novel, but it is just a little more gloomy than that of mortal dust, and now Shang Xin is in a state of soul, so they can't feel the harm of this evil aura at all.
Shang Xin and the Lingkui Witch were walking on the streets of the underworld, and the streets were also full of people, more precisely, ghosts and ghosts, which seemed very lively, and the ghosts did not notice Shang Xin's strange appearance, but treated them as ordinary geismans.
Soon, the Witch of Lingkui led Shang Xin to her handsome friend's mansion, which looked somewhat similar to the government buildings in Mortal Dust. The ghost guards at the door had seen the Lingkui Witch, so soon a ghost pawn brought them to the living room, and then said, "Wait a minute, two distinguished guests, and the little one will go and inform my family commander immediately." ”
The Lingkui Witch was not arrogant, and immediately replied politely: "Then there is little brother Lao." ”
When the ghost pawn saw that the Lingkui Witch was so easy to speak, he also made a farewell salute with both hands, and went down to inform the ghost handsome.
It didn't take long for a burly man dressed in black iron armor to appear in front of them, and this person's dress was somewhat out of step with the architectural style of the entire underworld, just like the situation where some young people were shopping in Hanfu on many busy streets in the mortal dust. But it's no wonder that after all, people are ghost commanders and need to lead thousands of soldiers to fight on the battlefield, and this kind of outfit is also in line with their identity.
Before the Lingkui Witch could speak, the ghost handsome had already spoken: "Sister Lingkui, I didn't expect that after only a few days, you came down to see me again." ”
His voice is very powerful and domineering, full of endless sense of strength, and sure enough, there is the extraordinary bearing of a handsome army.
The Lingkui Witch also looked neither humble nor arrogant, she smiled slightly and said, "Brother Rosen, I came here this time to ask for something. ”
"Oh, don't ask for anything with my brother, just say anything. Rosen said boldly.
