It was already more than four o'clock in the morning when I returned to the yang world from the Hades Palace, and I sat on the sofa staring at the soul chain on my wrist, and touched the soul hook claw that was pierced on my earlobe, and smirked in amazement.

Smiling and laughing, my little face drooped again, and I remembered what the Hades had told me when I was leaving, and my excitement instantly wilted.

"Your biological master can't be reincarnated smoothly, so there is not much left of your magic powers, and at the same time that your magic powers are reduced, your judge's coercion will naturally be weakened, so you still have to work harder!" Hades floated in mid-air, and a small hand handed me a tattered notebook, saying that it recorded some of the processes and experiences of Zhong Kui's practice of demon subjugation and magic, and the other little hand comforted me and patted me on the shoulder, with helplessness in his eyes, and pity in his eyes, but I saw that touch of schadenfreude.

"Your mother's pit subordinate" I got up from the sofa, muttered dissatisfiedly, and looked at the faintly bright sky, "I have to find a place to practice the "demon subjugation and demon slaying soul slashing method" that Zhong Kui's old boy used when he was in the yang world, ah......!"

I didn't go out all morning, lying on the sofa to check some information, and listed the things I needed, almost noon, Wang Shi drove his Buick car to find me, pulled me to eat near home, and left me a reward of 10,000 yuan and left. Holding this 10,000 quick money in his hand, I felt a little aggrieved, I helped Lu Yaoting and Chang Yansong solve the case before, they gave me 20,000, and when they helped Zhang Licheng, they gave me 65,000, these two cases are not dangerous, and they are very easy, but this time I helped Wang Shi, almost lost my life, and only got 10,000, this is a huge difference in remuneration, can I not feel aggrieved!

But the grievances are grievances, I can be considered content, the mother of the living master is tired and tired and tired for less than three thousand yuan a month, I am not bad compared to her, anyway, I can't really die, I comforted myself, and continued to study Zhong Kui's experience notes on demon subjugation and magic removal at home.

Towards the end of the evening, I took my list of required items and ran to the stationery supermarket and hardware store, in fact, things are very common, but I need to process them again when I buy them.

"Sandbags, iron, yellow paper, cinnabar, brushes, sleeping bags, tents, climbing poles, that's almost it, I'll take the car to the countryside tomorrow" I carried a big bag, counted the supplies I bought in the bag, and went home.

When I got home, Zhong Qiuxia had already gone to work, I put 2,000 yuan on the table, and wrote a note, telling her that she was going to live at a friend's house recently, and asked her not to worry about it, and to call if she had something!

I had a good night's sleep, early in the morning I carried a big travel bag and tent, took a taxi to the long-distance bus station, this time I want to go to the countryside one hundred and eighty-seven kilometers away from Linhai City, called Santan Village, I have checked the information, there are mountains and rivers, there are few households, it is the most suitable place to practice Zhong Kui's demon and eliminate magic.

Sitting in the car, looking at the scenery that fell backwards along the way, I was a little excited, I remember that back then, Zhong Kui taught me the set of demon slaying magic he used when he was in the yang world, I was shocked at that time, I couldn't imagine that an ordinary person with flesh and blood could become a generation of demon slaying masters, and after death, he stayed directly in the underworld, sat in the position of the second-in-command judge, and was in charge of the life and death book and the judge's pen, I don't know what the effect would be if I practiced his set of spells?

More than three hours later, the car slowly drove to the entrance of the village, and Santan Village arrived.

Santan Village was originally called "Mountain Village" with a large area, but the whole village is only more than 400 people, because there is a scenic spot called "Santan Mountain" at 28 kilometers south of the village and changed its name, the scenic area is almost 13,000 acres, the mountains are covered with natural secondary forests, the hundred-year-old red maple forest is a piece, the deep and quiet canyon stream Tan, the waterfalls and flowing springs of various postures, the lifelike pictographic mountain stones, constitute the unique natural landscape of "Santan Mountain", there are three clear and sweet water pools in the scenic area, so it is called "Santan Mountain" In the annual golden holiday, "Santan Mountain" is very lively, the vehicles are endless, and the tourists are endless.

I have checked the information, and there is an undeveloped uninhabited area behind Santan Mountain due to the steep mountain road, and this uninhabited area is also my destination this time, and it is also the best choice for me to practice Zhong Kui's demon subduing magic.

I carried a large travel bag, bought a ticket to enter the "Santan Mountain" scenic spot, all the way to the mountain to climb, now is almost autumn, the tourists are very few, in this big mountain, I really feel the beauty of this world, the beautiful scenery of the river, like a scroll of painting, winding and long, the surrounding mountains are in a thousand forms, the riverside green bamboo peaks, the maple leaves are as red as fire, the composition of the picture makes me not feel addicted to it, the mountain breeze comes slowly, I feel refreshed when I take a breath, and eliminate the fatigue on my road.

After climbing the mountain for almost two hours, I finally saw the iron gate said by the adventurous travelers on the Internet, and there was a big wooden sign on the iron gate that had been baptized by countless wind and rain, and the warning of "the mountain road is steep and dangerous, and tourists are prohibited from entering", presumably it is no man's land.

I looked around to make sure that there was no one around, so I climbed over the iron gate with my hands and feet, and continued to climb towards the mountain, from here, there were no bluestone paved stone steps, and the trees were much more lush than the tourist area below, I stepped on the loose fallen leaves, waved the climbing pole in my hand, and peeled off the staggered branches of the trees and the weeds more than half a man high, so as to make my walk easier.

The further you go, the denser the trees in the forest are, and it is difficult for sunlight to shine in, resulting in a dark and silent place, like a giant net, mysterious, and occasionally some small squirrels, mountain monkeys, and pheasants scurrying back and forth.

When I finally climbed to the top of the mountain, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and I looked down the mountain from here, and there was a special view, all the trees were connected together, the fiery red maple leaves, the red dazzling, from a distance, it looked like a large flame, and the mountain was shrouded in fog, and the white clouds and smoke did not disappear, as if there were immortals living there.

And the other side of the mountain is even more beautiful, a big waterhole in the middle of the dense and lush forest, vaguely you can see the fish in the water swimming freely, I can't imagine that the real beauty of the three pools of the mountain is in this no-man's land, I quickly ran to the waterhole not far from the mountain, and then spread the tent nearby, and brought out the pots and pans and spoons from the house, after all the preparations were made, I stretched out with satisfaction, the hard work on the way, although I didn't say, but it was definitely not easy, just the sandbags and iron blocks in my travel bag and two large barrels of mineral water together can have more than two hundred catties, not to mention the tent and these cooking utensils, in fact, I barely brought anything to eat with me on this trip, anyway, there are so many resources and game in the mountains, I can't starve to death as a judge of the underworld.

……

"Well, let's work out first"

Early the next morning, I couldn't wait to open Zhong Kui's cultivation notes, and then according to the method it said, I first tied the sandbag to my calf, and then began to trot around the big pool.

At first I ran quite slippery, but after half an hour, I went from running to grinning and grinning, and with every step I took with my sandbag foot, I could feel as if the ground had sunk into a few millimeters deep, and I moved with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and after another two hours, finally, all my physical strength was exhausted, and I couldn't take a single step anymore, and then I fell directly to the ground.

I lay on my back on the ground, staring at the sky above that was obscured by dense trees, and I felt that I could stretch out my hand to remove the flourishing branches and let the sunlight shine in.

After resting for about half an hour, I got up again, took out the old fishing rod that I turned out from home, tossed a few earthworms in the dirt, sat on the edge of the waterhole and started fishing, of course, this is not the cultivation part of Zhong Kui's notes, but I want to prepare rations for myself in the next few days.

This fishing is also very exquisite, not only need experience, the most important thing is to have patience, now this season is the golden season of fishing, and there is a water grass in this waterhole is very lush, the water level is low, the fish eat vigorously, this is the best fishing place I choose, sure enough, less than two hours, I prepared a large basin of fruit Ah! At least enough for me to eat a few meals.

I set up the iron pot, poured a large pot of water, threw the two fish into the pot, and waited for the water to boil and the fish could be cooked.

Such days have passed for almost half a month, during which my physical strength is getting better and better, in addition to strapping sandbags on my legs, and adding 20 kilograms of iron, every day I will exhaust myself before I stop, and then I will start fishing, or jump up and down in the forest to catch pheasants and hares, temper my temperament, not to mention that it is a very boring thing I do more and more easily, more and more energetic, and even for a while I was thinking, if I have money in the future, I have to buy a piece of land in which forest to build a big house, ask a wife to take Zhong Qiuxia again, and live a comfortable life of male farmers and female weavers。
