Chapter 818: A Pure Land
Lying on the ground was the body of the old man, Ye Xiaochai couldn't help but be slightly stunned, you know, he came here with Thirteen all the way, but he hadn't seen a single corpse!
"I didn't go to the Styx, I didn't walk across the Soul Bridge!" replied the old man.
"How did that fellow Daoist come here, and what kind of place is this?" Ye Xiaochai had too many questions in his mind, but he could only ask them one by one at the moment.
"This place is called the Valley of the Falling Shadows, between the Netherworld and the Human World, and the Yin Soul who came here can live here forever without being controlled by the Netherworld. Speaking of this, the old man paused, and then said: "I fell here unintentionally, and as soon as I fell here, my spirit immediately flew out of my body, that is, it was like I was dead!"
After that, the old man looked at Ye Xiaochai and asked curiously: "How can Ye Daoyou do it, walk here with his own body, and not be constrained by this place at all?"
"Oh! The attribute of the lower spirit root is relatively special, and I am not afraid of any yin ghosts and evil things, so the ghost qi here can't help me, so I can always maintain my original appearance. Ye Xiaochai replied honestly, after all, in this kind of place, as long as he doesn't want to die, no one can touch him.
"Special Spirit Root Attributes!" the old man frowned and muttered.
"Yes, Master, don't you know! There was a ghast outside just now, and when he touched it lightly with his hand, the ghast died!" said Thirteen on the side, and he still had some palpitations when he thought about it.
"Daoyou fell directly into here, so what does this have to do with remembering when he was alive?" Ye Xiaochai asked again.
"Of course it matters, as long as you don't pass through the River Styx, you won't be washed away from your memories of life. The old man replied.
Ye Xiaochai nodded first, and then became puzzled, since the other party said that the Styx can wash away his memory, then he should have also been to the Styx to know that the Styx has this effect, but if he has been to the Styx, how can he still have memories, isn't this a contradiction!
The old man saw Ye Xiaochai's doubts, so he stood up and said, "Ye Daoyou, come with me! As he spoke, he walked into the canyon.
"Let's go, there's a stone tablet there, and you can see everything when you see it. Thirteen waved his hand at Ye Xiaochai, and then he ran up quickly and followed behind the master.
Ye Xiaochai did not hesitate, and followed with a step.
"Fellow Daoist, did he undoubtedly fall here in Thirteen?" While walking, Ye Xiaochai asked about Thirteen.
I saw that the old man shook his head and replied, "No, he came from the Soul Attraction Bridge." At the beginning, I wandered alone in the valley of Luoyin, and I don't know how long I wandered, but I felt a little lonely, so I brought Thirteen over and spent some time teaching him to speak and write, and since then I have a companion. ”
"Master, since your old man asked Thirteen to accompany you, why did you let Thirteen go out and teach the other souls to speak?" asked Thirteen behind him.
"That's because Master wants to break through his cultivation and needs to meditate here, so he let you go out. The old man replied.
"Oh!" Thirteen whispered.
"How long have you stayed here?" Ye Xiaochai asked again.
"Oh...... I don't know! Since I came to this place where there is no day and night, I have lost the concept of time, and I have long forgotten how long I have been here. The old man sighed and replied.
"Then Daoyou didn't think about going out?"
"Of course I want to go out, but I can't go back to the human realm, and I don't want to go to the Nine Ghost Realm, so I can only stay here. ”
"If you can't go back to the human world, is there any great danger?"
Seeing Ye Xiaochai ask about this, the old man subconsciously looked down at his broken arm, and replied: "The body of the yin ghost can't return to the human realm, the old man used this arm to try the exit of the back, and it was also lost because of this, and what is even more hateful is that it can't be recovered." ”
Turning a corner ahead, a little light suddenly appeared in the sky above the valley, Ye Xiaochai looked up, in this dim place, this light was very eye-catching.
"That's the exit, we can't go out, but Daoyou has an entity, I think we should be able to get there. The old man raised his hand and pointed to the light.
"Oh, there's the exit. Ye Xiaochai fixed his eyes and looked carefully at the bright light.
He looked at it and suddenly felt strange, not far from the horizontal direction of the bright light, there was a little more strange place, where the black light was emitted, and it was even darker than the night sky.
"Fellow Daoist, is ...... next to that?" Although Ye Xiaochai had vaguely guessed, he still opened his mouth to ask.
"That is the entrance to the Nine Ghost Realm, the old man once went in, and was almost caught by the Yin Ghost there, and then escaped back and stayed until now. ”
As they walked and talked, they soon reached their destination, which was a huge stone statue seated, and the light and black light were the two eyes of the stone statue.
In front of the stone statue, a stone tablet was erected, and there were some words on the tablet, Ye Xiaochai took a closer look, it turned out to be Gu Immortal characters, and he could recognize these words It was also a blessing for dragging the feather immortals.
"Do you know these words?" Ye Xiaochai asked as he turned his head to look at the old man.
I saw that the old man shook his head and replied: "Originally, I didn't know it, but the old man has studied here for a long time, and he still figured out some doorways, and he can roughly understand their meanings, such as the Styx Soul Attraction Bridge, etc., which are all interpreted from this." ”
Ye Xiaochai nodded, and then looked at the information on the inscription.
It's just like what the old man said, it's said that this is a place called Luoyin Valley, which is between the two worlds, and there are a few places in the outside world that can lead to Luoyin Valley like Wuji, but to enter Luoyin Valley, you need to put aside your body and eliminate your past memories, so there is the Styx River and the Yin Soul Bridge, so that the Yin Soul who enters Luoyang Valley is like a blank piece of paper, and when you open your spiritual wisdom, you can move freely in the valley, this series of legends is written on this stone tablet, and there is also a name for this place." One Pure Land", the yin souls living here can live forever. And if you want to get out, it's very simple, the exit is within the two eyeballs of the stone statue, one leads to the human world, and the other leads to the nine ghost world, and even notes that the yin ghost can only go to the ghost world, and cannot return to the human world, it is obvious that the old man has not yet recognized the inscription information at that time, so he lost an arm by mistake.
This so-called Pure Land, I don't know who opened it up, it's just incredible.
The old man saw that Ye Xiaochai was so fascinated, so he asked, "Ye Daoyou knows this article?"
"I know a little bit about it!" Ye Xiaochai smiled, replied modestly, and then said: "Indeed, as Daoyou said, this place is a pure land!"
