That rainstorm didn't give me an answer, but it gave me a bad cold.

It's been a long time since I've had a serious illness like this. I lay on the bed in the small hotel, covering myself in the bed and sweating. It took me two days before my fever subsided, but then I had a cough and a runny nose. Ironically, because I was too lazy to go to the doctor, I ended up with an inflamed throat that turned into bronchitis and eventually pneumonia.

I had no choice but to compromise, went to the hospital for ten days of injections, and recuperated for half a month before I finally recovered.

However, the disease seems to have come at a timely time. I quit drinking for almost a month, and although my body was weak, my mind gradually cleared up. I really can't go on like this!

In the provincial capital, I was helpless, my job was lost, and my lover left, so I thought about going back to my hometown in Nanting to relax, and by the way, I could also recuperate for a while.

I drove back to Nanting alone. My parents were surprised to see me and asked me what I was going to do when I went home.

I didn't want them to worry, so I said I would take a leave of absence and come back for a few days. However, I couldn't hide my breakup with Han Jie, so I told them.

My parents also felt that it was a pity that such a good future daughter-in-law ran away when she said she would. But we young people's feelings, they can't help much. My mother comforted me and said, "It's okay! We still have a few relatives and friends in Nanting, and my mother can ask them to introduce you to you, and then find another object! ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, don't bother! I want to be alone for a while! ”

When my parents saw me say this, they were helpless, so they stopped bothering me and let me go.

I stayed at home for two days and then went to the Master. There are many things I don't dare to tell my parents, but Master is the best person I can talk to. When I returned to Nanting this time, half of my hopes were pinned on him. Perhaps, Master can show me a direction.

Master was also surprised by my sudden visit. But he had a sharper eye than my mom and dad and knew a little bit more about my situation.

"Did you go wrong with your practice?" He asked hurriedly, then took my hand and checked my pulse.

I nodded silently. When I came, I hadn't figured out how to explain to Master how I had secretly learned that nameless exercise, but it was a good thing, and he saw through it as soon as we met. Sure enough, it is the father of the Zhizi Mo Ruo, but this "father" is my master.

After the master finished taking the pulse, his face was ugly. He sneered and sneered: "You still steal the exercises of foreign assignments? If you don't get into a mess, aren't you going to come back to me? ”

I bowed my head in frustration and confessed that I really couldn't hide anything from him!

Master snorted heavily, but he didn't open his mouth to scold me, or he thought it would be a waste of saliva to scold me. Instead, I wanted him to scold me to see if he could wake me up.

"What the hell is going on?" Master asked with a dark face.

I don't have anything to explain, it's more like a complaint. I secretly practiced the nameless exercises, which caused my body to be abnormal, so Han Jie left me, and then I broke the jar after I lost my job, and I drank and fought all day long. The knots in my heart that I had suppressed for a long time were also released because I poured out without any scruples.

After hearing my complaints, Master couldn't help but sigh and said, "I can't imagine that you still do this!" I refused to teach you Yin Gong for your own good, just hoping that you can live a normal life and not have to be lonely for life like me! ”

I wondered, "This is my own mistake, how can I blame you, Master?" Moreover, what does this have to do with learning Yin Gong? ”

Master said: "I told you before that Yin Gong originally evolved from ghost skills, and there will naturally be many taboos for living people to practice ghost exercises. Especially if you still learn Yin Gong privately and take a fork in the road, it will cause your body to aggravate changes. If you don't learn secretly, the side effects of the Yin Gong I teach you won't be so big, and Han Jie won't necessarily leave you! ”

I held my head, frustrated. If my mentality is not so anxious, if I listen to Master's words, there is indeed a chance that many things will be redeemed. However, it is too late to understand this truth now!

I smiled bitterly and said, "Master, what's the use of talking about this now?" You tell me, is there any way out for me? If you continue to practice Yin Gong, can you only guard a mass grave like you for the rest of your life? ”

Master shook his head and was silent for a while, he seemed to hesitate about something.

So I asked, "Master, I am your only apprentice!" Would you rather watch me live my life in such a daze? ”

Master sighed and finally said, "Haven't you always wanted to know where I came from?" I do have a lot of things to hide from you, but I also have a hard time. Actually, I used to work as an errand in the underworld! ”

I was taken aback: "Master, you were also a yincha too?" ”

"It's not." The master denied it, "There are many official positions in the underworld, and the yin cha is only the errand under the judge of the underworld. I used to be the head of the Imperial Dining Room in the Underworld, but I was dismissed from my post for making a mistake. ”

"The head of the Imperial Dining Room of the Underworld?" I was even more surprised, "Isn't that more awesome than yin?" Master, you are so powerful! ”

This time it was Master's turn to smile bitterly, "Is it amazing?" Now I can't only be reduced to hiding in a small place like Nanting to eat? ”

That's right, indeed. Although Master is very famous outside, he has been selling supper in this mass grave for as long as I can remember. It seems that Master, like me, was once a frustrated person!

"Master, how did you become the head of the Imperial Dining Room of the Underworld?" I've always been most curious about this.

Master said: "The imperial dining room of the underworld has always been controlled by the ghost dining door. The person with the highest cooking skills in the ghost restaurant can be the head manager! ”

"Ghost Restaurant?" I was taken aback by the new words that kept popping up, "Aren't we part of the Guishan faction?" ”

The master smiled bitterly again and said, "I was also expelled from the court by the Ghost Dining Gate!" ”

"What's going on with the Returning Mountain Sect?"

"Ghost food, return to the mountain, is a homonym. I live here alone, so naturally I don't need any sect or name. But when I first accepted you into the school, I had to make up a name for it, otherwise you would think that my cheap master was not right. In addition, the name of the Returning Mountain School is taken from the meaning of my retreat to the mountains and forests. ”

"Sure enough, the Guishan faction is a fiction, it was made up by the master to fool me, no wonder no one else has heard of it!" I secretly slandered.

But I didn't dare to say this, so I continued to ask the master why he left the underworld. He said that he was expelled and exiled because he had made a mistake, but what kind of mistake was it?

But Master wouldn't tell me. He said gloomily: "The past is unbearable, don't ask the specific reason!" ”

When I saw that Master was in a low mood, I stopped asking questions. But I was still very interested in the situation in the underworld, so I asked him, "Where is the underworld?" How to get there? ”

"The underworld is in the place where the underground yin veins are at their highest. However, all the Yin vein passages are guarded by Yin soldiers and Yin Shuai, and it is impossible to go to the underworld through the Yin veins. Generally, the formal channel is through recommendations and recommendations, and you can only enter after obtaining road guidance. ”

"Is there any way to get a referral?"

"There are two methods, one is to recommend the sect, and the other is to go through Yin City."

"Master, can you still recommend me to go?"

"It's not that easy! Do you think that any small sect of Yin cultivation can have a chance to be recommended? ”

"You're not from the Ghost Restaurant...... I said, and I quickly shut up in the middle of my speech. I forgot that my master just said that he had been expelled from the Ghost Dining Gate. I don't have anything to do with the ghost restaurant at all!

"Master, how do you get to Yin City?" I asked.

Master replied, "The nearest entrance to the Yin City is just below the Youlan Xuan in the provincial capital. The boss of Youlanxuan is actually the big boss behind the scenes of Xiling Ghost Market! ”

"I see!" I suddenly remembered the last time I went to Youlanxuan, and I met Yu Donghao, the head of the Nine Palace Pavilion, taking the security guard of Xiling Ghost Market to exchange Yin Yuan, and it seems that there is a reason.

The Yin Yuan earned by the ghost markets everywhere should have been transferred to Yin City through Youlan Xuan. And Yin City is a place where Yin cultivation gathers, and the demand for Yin Yuan must be great, so don't worry about not being able to spend it. When you think about it this way, many things can be explained!

However, the last time I asked the ghost to buy exercises, he said that it was not easy for him to go to Yin City. What's more, cats and dogs like me can't just go in casually without being introduced.

"What? Would you love to go to the underworld? Master seemed to see what I was thinking, so he asked me.

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"I'm already disheartened in the yang world, so it's better to go to the real underworld and break through and see it!"

"Have you figured it out? If you enter the underworld, you can only be like me, and you can no longer live a normal life! ”

I smiled miserably and said, "Master, look at the way I look now, do you still look like a normal person?" With my physique, even if I find a new girlfriend, it will only hurt others. Since I can't go back to the beginning, let's just go all the way to the dark! ”

The master said, "Your physique is not a problem. As long as you don't practice yin gong anymore, plus I grab some herbs to help you dispel yin and return yang, you can still reduce some of it. ”

"No!" I insisted, "I don't want to live like this mediocre and barely live my whole life, and I don't want to worry about money and women all day long. Master, just teach me! ”

After listening to my words, Master sighed and said, "Actually, Master has always been very conflicted in his heart. Naturally, I would like you to inherit my mantle, but I'm afraid that telling you in advance will hurt you, and I'm afraid that you won't dare to learn again. Now that you've made up your mind, I'll teach you everything I've learned in my life! ”

I was very happy to see that Master had agreed. For the first time in recent months, I felt truly relieved, as if I had finally found a glimmer of hope in the midst of despair, and had found a ray of light in the night!
