Chapter 41: The Soul Bell

Lu Xin is from 2018, and even in the 21st century, human beings are still exploring the way of immortality. It's just that this means of exploration has changed from the so-called superstition in ancient times to a kind of science.

The underworld soldiers borrowed the way, passed through the sun, and entered the underworld. It is a chilling picture, but when it comes to the mystery of immortality, then the fear in people's hearts will be minimized, or even become gone.

What kind of peerless master can blend into the ranks of the underworld soldiers without being discovered? Such a being, is it human? Is it a ghost? Or is it an immortal?

At this time, Lu Xin, with this extremely curious thought, decided to continue to chase west. After Yue Buhei learned the news of the Immortal Resurrection Grass, his face was shocked, he had obviously heard some rumors. As for the scholars, their eyes were all on the two sisters of the Yang family, and they wished to follow them all the way to the ends of the earth, afraid that they would even forget to go to Chang'an to catch the exam.

"Legend has it that this immortal grass only grows on the Yellow Springs Road and near the gates of the underworld. Practice it into an elixir, and after taking it, you can jump out of reincarnation, and your longevity is endless, and you are no longer controlled by the underworld. But those who take the immortal rejuvenating grass can live forever, but their bodies will still be old. Therefore, every sixty years, he has to enter the underworld. When you return, your physical body will be transformed back into what it was sixty years ago. The cycle repeats itself, and it lives forever. ”

"According to what you said, this black-robed man who blended into the underworld should be very old at this time?"

"It stands to reason that it should be. No matter when he eats the elixir, every other reincarnation is enough to make the flesh rot. Even if a powerful Onmyoji is, even if there is an elixir that rejuvenates the face, there is no way to completely guarantee that the physical body is immortal. ”

The words that the moon is not dark make Lu Xin feel a lot of emotion, although the onmyoji have great power. It can cure diseases and save people, and it can turn rivers and seas upside down. But the ultimate goal of cultivation is nothing more than to live longer.

Life is a life, grass and trees are autumn. From ancient times to the present, and then to future generations, the ultimate pursuit of human beings has always been the same. That is, eternal death!

The group marched along the river, then entered Wenchang Town, passed through Nanling County, and finally reached Qingyang County under the rule of Chizhou. Then, the team of the Mortals came to an abrupt halt on a large piece of flat ground.

Looking around, there is not a single grass growing on this flat wilderness. There were no people nearby, and the nearest village was twenty miles away.

The flat land is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one road to the south leads to the next town. At this time, the soldiers who had stopped their march stood motionless like statues. Above their heads, a vague bronze bell appeared at some point, making a dull and eerie striking sound.

The night is as cool as water, and the bronze bell hangs high. The forces of all sides are dormant, the mountains are quiet, but there is a smell of mountain rain in the wind. Lu Xin and the others followed the two sisters Yangxiu to hide on the hill in the southeast, looking at the four fields, and the onmyoji from all walks of life did not hide their breath.

"Look at this, you should be almost at the entrance to the underworld."

Yang Xiu suddenly spoke, her brows furrowed violently.

"Sister, this should be the legendary Soul Bell, right? Daddy said that when the horror bell rings, the ghosts retreat. Could it be that there are big people in the underworld around here? ”

"Qingyang County...... It is located in Chizhou. There is a famous mountain in the territory, which is one of the 72 blessed lands of Taoism, ranking 39th. ”

"You mean, Lingyang Mountain?"

The conversation between the two sisters of the Yang family seemed to give Yue Buhei some kind of revelation, which made this fox demon who had been practicing in Xuanzhou Mansion for many years suddenly frown. Seeing that he was only halfway through his speech, the scholar was curious, and pushed twice with his elbow.

"What's wrong with Lingyang Mountain? Fox, what is the Soul Bell? ”

"The Soul Bell is a magic weapon that can control a hundred ghosts through the sound of the bell, and is said to be a sacred relic in the underworld. But in fact, the Demon Sect among the five major sects, the Netherworld Dao Sect, and the Great Desolate God Sect all have this treasure. Nearby, there is either some big man in the underworld. Either that, it's the hands and feet of the Terran masters. ”

"The holy relics of the underworld, how can there be in the yang world?"

Lu Xin was a little shocked, the world of Onmyoji was still too strange to him now. But listening to the tone of the moon, what he just said was just common sense for cultivators.

"The demon fox is right, according to legend, sixty years ago, it was also in Xuanzhou. The underworld soldiers crossed the border and were sensed by many onmyoji. Those people, like us, followed the Mortal Soldiers all the way west. But everyone only walked to Wenchang Town, and then they heard the sound of the Soul Bell. ”

Yang Xiu followed the words that the moon was not dark, and talked about the events of sixty years ago. Her tone became very dull, and halfway through her words, she was gone.

"What about after hearing the Soul Bell?"

The scholar was an anxious child, and urged Yang Xiu to continue. The girl glanced back at him, and only said "all dead", so frightened that the scholar quickly covered his mouth.

"Two girls, you know so many secrets at a young age, you are not small."

The moon is not dark, and he pays to practice two jiazi, and knows a lot about the secrets between heaven and earth. But what Yang Xiu said, even he, a monster who has been in Xuanzhou Mansion for many years, has never heard of it. He had long suspected the identity of the two sisters of the Yang family, and at this time, with the help of the Soul Bell, he finally asked the doubts in his heart. Lu Xin was naturally very curious, and for a while, the eyes of the three teenagers were all on Yang Xiu's face.

"Why are you looking at my sister like this, be careful to poke your eyes."

"It's a matter of death, of course, you have to ask clearly. Little girl, what else do you know? ”

"Stinky fox, don't think you can bully people because you're good-looking! Who is the little girl? Let me tell you, in the mountains of our Miao Jiang, there is not a fox as rampant as you. ”

"Hey, hey, stinky fox, got scolded, right? Miss Qin'er scolded well, this dead shemale is born to love to be scolded. ”

"Phew, who told you to call Qin'er? This name, only my father and my mother, and my sister can call it. ”

The three of them lay on their stomachs in the grass, chatting and chatting again. Lu Xin's head was full of black lines, and he was completely speechless for the few living treasures around him. Among the five people, only one of them is quite stable. I saw her eyes flickering, staring quietly at a certain direction on the flat ground, completely ignoring the noise in her ears.

Lu Xin followed her gaze, and the formation of the underworld team formed a circle at some point. The distance between each of the Immortal soldiers has changed to varying degrees, silently. It's like a pair of invisible hands, using these underworld soldiers as chess pieces, arranging some kind of ancient formation. And the pre-Qin Onmyoji who had infiltrated the ranks of the underworld soldiers actually came to the very center of the army.

Time passed minute by minute, and after two quarters of an hour, the underworld soldiers did not move, and the pre-Qin Onmyoji did not move. The bell of the Soul Bell rang ninety-nine eighty-one, but nothing terrible happened.

Just when Lu Xin thought that he could only wait for boredom like this, a silver glittering horse suddenly fell from the night sky, and stepped into the underworld army formation with a "boom".

Then, two sword lights, one red and one purple, also fell.

"Nephew Pauline, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to be so impatient. Hahahaha...... He is worthy of your father's love general, and his heart is the same as his. ”

"Yes, after the battle of Xuanwumen, I never met Brother Jingde's family again. Looking back now, the prestige of Ling Zun is still yesterday. Nephew Pauline, how is Brother Jingde's injury getting better? ”

"My father is all right, thank you to the two seniors for your concern. Senior Zhao, Senior Zhu, and the little nephew still have the emperor's order, so they can't get off the horse to see the salute. ”

"It doesn't matter, since His Majesty Taizong even sent you, the guard captain Shaoqing who is in charge of the Demon Suppression Courtyard, to Xuanzhou, it shows that this matter is very important. I went to Xuantian Sect, and I should help each other from the side. As for the word senior...... Now that you have condensed the crape myrtle heavenly fire and cultivated into the golden pill, this title is not appropriate. ”

The general on horseback obviously knew the people of the Xuantian Sect for a long time, and fell into the formation of the underworld soldiers, and he didn't move, just chatting and catching up. The voices of the three of them were not deliberately concealed, and in the dead of night, when the wind blew from the sky, everyone could hear it clearly.

"Brother Jingde? Demon Suppression ...... It seems that the boy who rides a horse has a big background. ”

After listening to the conversation between the three of them, the scholar's face changed slightly, and he finally stopped making trouble. Lu Xin knew that he was in the market in his early years, although he didn't know much about the immortal cultivation world. But I still know something about the affairs of the imperial court, especially some secret news.

"The Demon Suppression Courtyard should also belong to the Yin Yang Temple, which is at the same level as the Imperial Temple. One is to calm the world outside, and the other is to suppress evil spirits and take charge of the prison inside. Dead scholar, am I right? ”

"Hmph, count yourself insightful. But fox, you don't know who this Jingde brother is talking about, right? ”

"Okay, there's a fart. It's all like this, where is so much nonsense. ”

"Hehe, Brother Xin, don't be in a hurry. If I guessed correctly, the word Jingde is the general of the imperial court, Wei Chi Jingde. This person is Emperor Taizong's most powerful member of the fierce general. It is said that at the time of the Xuanwumen Incident, it was he who personally shot Li Yuanji, the king of Qi. Such a character is terrifying to think about. The boy who rode a horse was really born with a good fate. ”

When the scholar said this, he licked his lips and looked at the general below in amazement. Although Lu Xin is from the 21st century, he was only nine years old before he crossed over, and he didn't know much about these historical figures. In his mind, the four characters of Wei Chi Jingde are just the names of people who are glimpsed in history textbooks.

"Hahahaha, Zhao Yougui, Zhu Zhen! The two of you are onmyoji, but you are brothers and sisters with the court eagle dogs, which is really shameless. It's a pity that although the Shangxuantian Sect is ranked among the five major sects, it has become a lackey of the court from the moment it was established. Such a shameless sect must not have been prosperous for long. ”

With a long laugh, two more figures fell in the night sky. They all came from stepping on the fire clouds, and they landed firmly behind the two of the Xuantian Sect. Immediately, the war horse in silver armor raised its four hooves, and the general on horseback suddenly swung out the big sword in his hand!
