Chapter Seventy-One: Asking for Directions

"Do you really have a way?" Shu Yan asked

"As long as you live, there will always be a way." Shifang nodded affirmatively.

According to the message left by the Second Master Ancestor, he came to the Netherworld because he was curious about some things, and the most important of them was to observe the Sansheng Stone. The three-life stone, it is said that you can know the previous life, this life, and the next life, the Buddha believes in this life and the next life, and the observation of the three-life stone can confirm each other and cultivate to a higher level.

After death, the Yama Hall rewards the good and punishes the evil according to the various deeds before death, and throws the evil into the corresponding hell, and only after atoning for the sins before death can it be sent to the tenth temple - the wheel king, and the good ones directly enter the tenth hall, and the tenth hall is sent to the appropriate place to reincarnate according to the size of their sins and blessings.

Shifang probably deduced that their current location should not be within the scope of the Ten Palaces of Yama, that is, outside the city of Xudu, although the way to get out of this realm is very slim, but it is not impossible, after all, they are two living people, if they meet the Ten Palaces of Yama, there is still a chance to break away from the netherworld. For the two of them, after all, they were passively involved here. But this method is very unreliable, people say that the king of Hades is better, the little ghost is difficult, the two of them want to see the king of Hades, I am afraid the possibility is very small, in contrast, the ten parties still prefer another method, the second ancestor traveled to the netherworld, and many people befriended, one of them is Meng Po, because the three living stones are indispensable to Meng Po's consent.

And Shifang has a small mind, this time he fell into the netherworld, the original reason was just for the seven-grade fairy grass sea soul grass, I didn't expect to get nothing, not to say, by mistake, but came to the netherworld, but when he first arrived here, his mind moved again, and one of the main materials of the Dan Fang that Linglong gave himself was precisely a specialty of the netherworld, that is, the flower of the other side. Now that they are outside the city, another way to go back is to follow Huangquan Road, and then find Meng Po to make a plan, she should take care of the younger generation. After the Second Master Ancestor comprehended the Sansheng Stone, he left the Netherworld directly from there, and it stands to reason that if he is lucky, can he return to the Xia Yun Continent with the help of Meng Po's power?

And if there is a chance, Shifang will definitely take a flower from the other side, and the opportunity to come to the netherworld is rare after all. The other side of the flower, there are flowers without leaves, it is said that the flowers and leaves are born and not seen, and they will never lose each other. Legend has it that it also has magical powers, which can evoke memories of the deceased. There are a large number of flowers blooming on the Huangquan Road, which looks like a carpet paved with blood from a distance, and is also known as the "Fire Road" because it is as red as fire, and it is also the only scenery and color on the long Huangquan Road. When the soul drinks the Meng Po soup, it forgets everything in life, and everything that was once left on the other side.

Shi Fang made up his mind and proposed to the "young man": "I don't know how many years the Netherworld has existed, and now we can be sure that we are outside the Xudu City, this place is not suitable for people to stay for a long time, and over the years, I don't know how many terrible monsters have been born, I think it is better for us to leave this place, by the way, the Thirteen Demons...... Brother, do you have any magic weapons that can block our breath? ”

When it comes to the big matter of escape, Shu Yan naturally won't hide it, and said confidently: "If it's just to hide the breath, then leave it to me, by the way, Brother Shifang, can you tell me some things you know about the netherworld." As he spoke, Shu Yan's mind moved, and the Sumeru barrier was activated instantly, enveloping the two of them, and in this drowsy world, he completely returned to calm, as if the movement just now was just an illusion.

Shifang's spiritual sense sensed a little, and a dark aura engulfed him, but he didn't feel the slightest discomfort, with a trace of hesitation, under the signal of the "young man", he followed her, and Shifang said in his heart: Since this witch is so confident, then there should be a reason for her, and she can get out of the spatial turbulence, and a simple hidden breath should be a trivial matter for her.

The two are now going to get out of this world, and at present, they must work together, since the witch asked about the netherworld, Shifang is naturally happy to sell his personal favor, so he talked while walking, and there are still a lot of legends about the Buddhist scriptures and miscellaneous books read by the other side, and they are telling it at the moment. Doing so can not only gain the favor of the witch, but also eliminate temporary fears, and have a fully attentive audience, as the person who confides in Shifang, it feels quite cool.

"Is there really such a flower? Flowers do not see leaves, leaves do not see flowers, life and rebirth, flowers and leaves are wrong. You can't see each other, you can't love each other, the curse of this heavenly court is really vicious, the fate is not dispersed, the fate is extinguished, and there is no senseless obsession waiting in how many reincarnations. Shu Yan shed tears, Shifang was a little speechless, the secret woman is really a strange animal, these are just legends after all, although the story is indeed very touching.

Looking at the witch who couldn't stop crying, Shifang recited softly: "As the Buddha said, great joy is better than great sorrow, it is better to remember than to forget, the fate is scattered, the fate is like this, how can you tell the right and wrong?" Thirteen demon brothers, you are in love. "Shifang sighed in his heart, the demon cultivator who can shed tears, no matter how bad his nature is, how bad can it be?

"Shifang, I don't understand so many things, I just feel that this kind of pious and desperate love only touches my heart, and I cry when I want to cry, what is there that I can't do, you trumpets are hypocrisy, no, it's a monk." Shu Yan wiped her tears, and nagged in her heart: I didn't expect the monks who can recite the scriptures to know so much, and the stories told by those maids and mothers-in-law are much better, no wonder they can bewitch so many believers, but I didn't react to such a touching story at all, it's really hypocritical, then again, what is my love? It's really right to escape from the demon world this time, otherwise it is likely that you will be committed to marrying that waste, how can you let others get involved in your aunt's love!

After being sentimental for a while, Shu Yan remembered something: "By the way, Brother Shifang, where do you say we are going now?" ”

"Would you like to see the flowers on the other side?" Shifang did not answer, but asked a rhetorical question.

Shu Yan nodded honestly. But she wasn't stupid, and continued to ask, "Then do you know the road?" ”

"The ghost knows? It's also my first time in the Netherworld, and besides, you're leading the way now! ”

Shu Yan stopped, his innocent eyes widened, and he looked incredulous, "But I don't know the way." ”

Shifang spread his hands, "I don't know the way?" If the monks don't lie, the ghost knows. Seeing Shu Yan's saber rattling, she might take out her orange magic sword at any time, and the wound on Shifang's buttocks was faintly painful, and she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, speak well, I didn't say it just now, we don't know, but the ghost knows, this is the netherworld after all, and in such a vast place outside the city, there are always a few lonely souls and wild ghosts." So it doesn't matter if you go casually, as long as you find some ghosts, you will naturally know the way when the time comes. ”

Shu Yan raised his eyebrows, this little monk is obviously playing tricks on himself, obviously he can tell him directly, but he has made so many bends, if he is out of the netherworld, he must give him some color, otherwise I am sorry for the title of my little witch. Just as he was about to tap the ten directions with words, Shu Yan suddenly stood still, and then put his eyes on a place.

Shifang saw her abnormality, and looked at a place curiously at the moment, after a long time, Shifang was still inexplicable, there was nothing there? This magic treasure that I don't know what it is called is really powerful, as if an invisible light shield covers them, the inside can see the outside, but the outside can't see the inside, and it can also hide the breath.

Shu Yan glanced back: "How is this ghost, it looks very weak?" ”

Shifang's eyes widened and he looked at the place where the witch was staring: "What the hell is there?" How I can't see. "Under the shroud of the magic treasure, Shifang's spiritual sense can't be probed out at all, with the naked eye, where can you see ghosts, after figuring out this truth, Shifang took out a willow branch from the refining heaven ding, squeezed out some juice, and smeared it on his eyes, sure enough, there were many more things in this netherworld.

In the yin aura, a vague figure walked cautiously, looking around at him, what should he be seeking? "Well, that's it, do you need help?"

Shu Yan glanced at Shifang with disdain, although he didn't see any movement, the light mask above their heads suddenly captured a black light, and in just a moment, the ghost thing was swept in. The momentum on Shu Yan's body suddenly disappeared, and the ghost creature shrank all over, lying on the ground, and fell to the ground. Shifang was stunned for a moment, and had a new understanding of this witch's cultivation, even if this coercion was not aimed at him, Shifang still felt a tightness in his heart.

"Say, what is this place? Do you know where Huangquan Road is? Shu Yan asked coldly.

"Branches...... Woo woo wow...... "The ghost thing looked up, and its inconspicuous features were huddled together, and it screamed indistinctly.

Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his white index finger and lightly touched the center of the ghost's eyebrows. The ghost thing was suddenly shocked, and then looked at Shu Yan pitifully, and the two looked at each other like this.

Shifang has a cold body, and there is another person who exists, such a blatant eyebrow flirtation, so raw flesh and numbness, fortunately, I know that this demon cultivator is a woman, but this is not good. Shifang gently tugged at the witch's sleeve.

Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, then he realized something, and with a light finger, he pointed on the light mask, and then a voice suddenly appeared in Shifang's spiritual awareness.

"Do you know Huangquan Road?" Shu Yan asked.

The ghost's voice was very clear: "The little one knows. Three hundred miles to the east of this place, as long as the direction is not far away, you can always see Huangquan Road. ”

"Is there a flower on the other side of Huangquan Road?" Shifang asked anxiously.

The ghost looked at Shifang and was stunned for a long time, saying that he didn't know why. Shu Yan proudly explained: "This is the interpretation of the word, and now I have established a mental connection with this ghost, so we can communicate, you are just an observer, and you have no right to speak." This ghost creature has no tongue, and before his death, he ate meat and killed countless creatures just to satisfy his appetite, and after his death, he naturally went to hell with his tongue. According to him, his family is also a wealthy family, and he burned a lot of silver to buy off the detention imps on Huangquan Road, only then did he learn that he had been beaten into the animal life path and had to go through a lot of reincarnation. It seems that as long as it is an animal he has eaten, he has to experience it for himself. remembered that he had done countless sins in his life, and he didn't know how many reincarnations he had to go through, so he took advantage of the detention and didn't pay attention to it, got out of Huangquan Road, and became a lonely ghost here. ”
