"Can't get over, what's the situation?" I frowned, helped my cousin up, and asked, "Cousin, I've already burned the cousin and the money for you, why can't you get by?" Is there a little ghost who stops you and won't let you pass? It would be nice to give him some money. ”

"No, Xiao Yan, woo ~ woo ~ is the ghost of the guard who said that I died on Chinese New Year's Eve, heaven and earth do not collect!"

Heaven and earth do not collect? When I heard this, I was shocked. What is heaven and earth not collecting, is there still this rule in hell? It seems that we have to check the classics and find a way to send my cousin away. So I comforted my cousin and said, "Cousin, in this way, I will find you a soul shrine, and you can settle down first." Wait for your nephew to find out the reason and find a way, and then send you away. Don't worry, my nephew still has some Taoism. If you can't do it, I'll take you to hell myself. ”

"That's... I'm sorry for you, Xiaoyan. I really don't know what to do, but I'm glad I have you. Woo~Woo~Woo~" After saying that, my cousin began to cry again, and I secretly laughed in my heart, do women love to cry so much when they become ghosts. Crying solves the problem, what else to work on...

I took my cousin to the barn, picked out the best sandalwood soul shrine, and let my cousin live in it temporarily. Placing the shrine on the table in the East House, I lit three sticks of grass incense and bowed, and then inserted them in the incense burner in front of the shrine. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and drew a "soul sealing talisman" out of thin air, and waved his hand to hit the talisman towards the soul shrine. As soon as the talisman entered the soul shrine, it disappeared.

"Cousin, cousin, don't blame your nephew. I'm going to look into something now, and I don't know how long. I'm afraid that you miss your family and can't control yourself from running to see them, which won't do you or your family any good. That's why I made this decision to seal you in the soul shrine. I hope you can understand my nephew's painstaking efforts. "With my sword pointing up and standing on my chest, I bowed three times to the soul shrine, which was regarded as an apology to my cousin.

The "Soul Suppression Talisman and Soul Sealing Talisman" mentioned in the above book were all learned from the "Secret Book of Talismans" in the secret grid of Mr. Liu's home. This book contains miscellaneous talismans, and I also used them freely after the Yang God was cultivated. This time, to solve the problem of "heaven and earth do not collect", it seems that it is still necessary to pin on the classics left by Mr. Liu.

Turn around and go to the barn and open the dark compartment. I found a few books on the underworld, and I took them back to the East House to check them out. There is such a record in a book called "Miscellaneous Records of the Netherworld", "According to legend, in ancient times, Hongmeng was first opened, and heaven and earth were established. There is only one realm, called the primordial realm. In this world, people, ghosts, and gods are mixed together, which is extremely inconvenient. Human beings are too weak compared to ghosts and gods, so they suffer from their aggression. Later, the Taishang Sanqing inspired heaven and earth, based on the primordial realm, and founded the Three Realms. They are the human realm, the earthly realm, and the heavenly realm. Among the Three Realms, the human realm is the largest and is the foundation of the other two realms. The other two worlds have a deep impact on the operation of the human world. It can be said that the Three Realms are one and distinct. ”

"The earthly realm, also known as the underworld, is the place where the souls of people and all living beings remain after death, and can be regarded as a microcosm of the human world. In the underworld, there is a hell in charge of all order, led by the son of Yin Tianzi and the ten halls of Yama, and hundreds of thousands of Yin soldiers are stationed. There are also ten underworld commanders walking in the world, arresting ghosts and ghosts, and maintaining the Fa-rectification. ”

I memorized every passage in the book about Hades, and maybe I would be able to use it in the future. Then he read patiently, "The so-called, heaven and earth do not receive." It means that on Chinese New Year's Eve, the gates of the heavenly and earthly realms are all opened, and the projection incarnations and ghosts of the gods come to the world to receive offerings and sacrifices for nine days. During this period, the gate of heaven and the gate of the earth can only be reopened on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Those who died on Chinese New Year's Eve missed the opportunity to enter the ghost gate, so "heaven and earth do not collect".

Seeing this, I have a doubt, since you can't enter the ghost gate now, wouldn't it be good to wait until after the eighth day of the first month? Why they are not allowed to enter, the answer is not given in the book. I turned to several other books on the underworld, which only had records about hell and officials, but there was no mention of "heaven and earth do not collect" without a single word.

How good is this, I know my cousin can't put it off any longer. There is a saying: "One day in heaven and one year on earth." "Then the time on the ground is different, and the time underground. According to my calculations, one day on the ground should be three days underground. After nearly thirty days of delay, it is difficult to ensure that the hell does not treat my cousin as an ownerless wandering soul and cancels the soul book.

In this way, even if my cousin can go down to the underworld, she will not be able to be reincarnated. When I think about it, I feel a headache. "Cousin, you are really a miserable person. If I didn't know how to tell fortunes, I really want to calculate for you, what kind of evil did you do in your last life, causing such a big cause and effect. Alas, the big words are also spoken, and I am still my cousin. It's useless to complain, let's think of a way. ”

I flipped through all the books on hell again, and after thinking about it, I decided to go to the ghost gate first. Maybe we can find some way to solve this problem of "heaven and earth do not collect".

The ghost gate, also known as the "ghost gate", is a connection between the earth and the human world, and no one knows where the specific location is. In other words, "ghost gates" are everywhere. Usually we see those who burn paper money at the intersection or at the scene of the accident, and they burn things to the ghost gate through these places. The ghosts transported the things to the underworld and distributed them to the relatives of the paper burners.

How did the cultivator get to the ghost gate, this was mentioned in the "Miscellaneous Records of the Underworld". Cultivators who have not yet reached the end of their longevity go to the underworld to do business, and there is a name called "Spending Yin". Just like a business trip in the sun, you have to have a letter and an application. After obtaining the approval of the prefecture, it can be introduced into the underworld, otherwise it will be regarded as trespassing in the underworld, and it will kill the soul of the gods, and it will never be reborn. Moreover, the soul of the living shall not remain in the underworld for a long time. Once the time is too long, it will lose its longevity, and even lose its body and soul.

When I saw this introduction, I was shocked, it seems that the underworld is not a casual thing, and I have to plan it carefully. The main thing is that where can this letter be approved? After pondering for a long time, I remembered a person, oh no, it was a ghost, Niu Apan! That time, Mr. Liu summoned the four great underworlds, and I had seen Niu Abang from a confined space. At that time, it seemed that it had a good relationship with Mr. Liu, and it was easier to talk than black and white impermanence. Yes, that's it, ask it to help, it's a big deal to burn it more afterwards.

Having made up my mind, I went back to the house to grind and write a note. In the article, I wrote about my relationship with Mr. Liu, and then praised the bull's head and pulled my feelings. Finally, I briefly described the idea that I wanted to "spend the yin", and implored the leader of Niu for approval. I checked the text of the table, well, there is nothing wrong with the content. Then I deliberately took out Mr. Liu's seal from Westinghouse, dipped it in cinnabar ink, and stamped it on the form.

I picked up the inscription, blew it lightly with my mouth, and took it to the yard. Set up the blown brazier and stuff the remaining paper money and the letter into it. I took a step back, pointed at my sword, ran my energy, and pointed at the brazier, "Huh! "Paper money and forms are in response. The rising flames and fly ash turned into a whirlwind, spinning around the brazier.

I crossed my knees on the ground and recited the mantra: "Heaven and earth are infinite, and the universe is correct." has a son named Yan, and dares to speak up. Poor express, straight to the front of the hall... Recipient, Niu Apan! ”

After a while, the fire in the basin was extinguished, and white smoke came out. A huge bull's head loomed from the smoke, and the urn said angrily: "Who dares to use Lao Liu's seal letter and live impatiently?" As he spoke, a stream of blood shot out of the bull's eye and came straight for me.

I wipe it, and if I don't agree with it, I will kill it! There was no time to retreat, so I could only pick up the talisman on the spot. "Edict!" The blood shattered my talisman and came straight for my door. At the critical moment, I summoned the magic sword of my right arm and held it horizontally in front of me. Boom! With a muffled sound, I was knocked six or seven meters, unstable, and slumped on the ground. What a mystery! If I hadn't reacted in time, this blow would have killed me. I feel bitter in my heart, I chose the wrong ghost, and the bull head is not so easy to talk to...

Let's quickly explain to the bull head, I won't be able to catch it after two more times. So I shouted, "Niu Shuai! I'm Mr. Liu's apprentice, Li Yan, you should have seen it! ”

After hearing the blood in his eyes, the bull head spoke: "Oh? Lao Liu's apprentice, do you have a certificate? "After saying that, the blood rose again, as if I was going to dare to lie, and the next blow it would be extinguished.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Saying that, I sat cross-legged and used the vitality in my body, and the unique aura of "Interception Technique" emanated from me.

"Ahem, it's really Lao Liu's apprentice. Made, you're drinking and you're making a mistake—" the bull muttered quietly. Although the voice is small, but I really hear it in the Yang God realm, this old cow... I really want to cry without tears...

"Well, since it's Lao Liu's apprentice, it's all easy to do. Do you want to "spend the shade", come, bring a piece of mounted paper. ”

When I heard Niu Tou say this, I was relieved, and hurriedly ran to the barn to get a stack of mounted paper, and respectfully placed it in front of Niu Tou. The head of the cow extinguished the blood in his eyes, opened the mouth of the cow, and brewed for a while. "Drink~phew!" A mouthful of thick phlegm spat onto the mounted paper.

"It's done, remember to bring a good one to Lao Liu for me. Ben Shuai still has wine... No, there is still something important, one step ahead. With that, the bull's head disappeared from the smoke, and the smoke dissipated.

I stared at the mounting paper on the ground, and I couldn't pick it up, I couldn't throw it. Hey, who has ever heard of phlegm as a letter. Such a disgusting thing, what the hell am I... couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth. In the end, I compromised and picked up the mounting paper on the ground, and at this moment, the "thick phlegm" on the mounting paper bounced off the mounting paper as if it was alive. It landed on the back of my left hand and turned into a bull's head mark. Suddenly, I felt a chill in my heart, and quickly picked up the remaining mounting paper on the ground and wiped it off the back of my hand.

Can't wipe it off... I want to cry without tears, this old cow! Means... It's so chic.

Back in the house, I rearranged the "Yin Talisman Scrolling Heavenly Palace" formation, and I decided to go to the Ghost Gate now to see what was going on.

Lying in the center of the formation, pinching the seal in his hand, the yang god came out of his body. Hey, this night of tossing, the yang gods are a little sluggish. Fortunately, I came back to my senses and cultivated for a while just now, so I didn't get too bad.

Out of Mr. Liu's house, I flew towards the intersection at the end of the village, which should lead to the "ghost gate". I chose a yin position at the intersection, and I pointed my sword up, closed my eyes and recited the mantra.

As soon as I recited the mantra, I felt a dark wind blow on the ground, and then a door of light appeared in front of me out of thin air. "Wormholes?" I was secretly suspicious, but without hesitation, I stepped in. Like passing through the "wormhole" for the first time, this passage is also dead and ethereal.

I don't know how long it took for me to come out of another light door. When I looked up, I saw a gate full of skeletons and a bull's skull in the center. At this time, the ghost door was closed, and two teams of Yin soldiers were standing in front of the door. I secretly said in my heart: "This is the ghost gate?" ”

"Who is here, who dares to trespass on hell!" A dignified, malevolent ghost flew in front of me and shouted.

My face remained unchanged, and I said in a deep voice: "I am Li Yan, a Taoist in the yang world, and I am here to spend my yin." ”

"Oh? Can you have a certificate? The ghost general asked suspiciously, and then put his hand on the saber at his waist.

I'm a little speechless, are the law enforcement officers of the underworld so serious? If you don't agree with each other, you can do it. I'd better be honest, so I showed the bull's head mark on my left hand.

When the ghost general saw the mark on my hand, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Ah! Hehe, it turned out to be Niu Shuai's guest, disrespectful! Disrespectful! I also hope that the mage Haihan" (the Yang God realm is called the mage)

"It's okay, it's okay, it's the first time I've come to hell, and if you don't do it right, please forgive me." As I spoke, I reached out and took out a wad of money from my arms and quietly handed it to the ghost general in front of me.

The ghost glanced angrily at his watchers, who turned their heads in amusement. The ghost general took the money from me, "Hehe, my brother is really polite." Look at your cultivation, it is also the realm of the Yang God, the two of us are almost the same, let's become brothers! A certain general's surname is Xiaofeng, how old are you, you can call me Brother Feng in the future. ”

Hearing this, of course I was disrespectful, and hurriedly called Brother Feng. There is such a big brother who works on an errand in the underworld, wouldn't it be convenient for me to come back in the future? And if you encounter any ghosts, you can directly invite the eldest brother to come up, a team of well-trained Yin soldiers, and other idle ghost generals are not their opponents.

"Brother, what is the matter with you spending the yin this time? Let's see if the old brother can help you. The ghost looked at me with a smile on his face.

I thought about it, and told him about my cousin. I thought he could give a good solution, but I didn't expect him to shake his head again and again after listening to me. And his face was grim, as if he had encountered something extremely tricky.

I hurriedly asked him what was going on, but he pondered for a while before he spoke: "My brother doesn't know, everyone in the world has a fate, and this is destined from the moment of reincarnation." The judge of hell will calculate the fate of a person in the next life based on the yin virtue he has cultivated in his previous life. If yin virtue is overflowing and the heavens are moved, you can transcend reincarnation and avoid birth and death. If the yin virtue is abundant and the underworld is inspired, you can stay in the underworld, participate in the ghost path, and become an immortal. Then there is the loss of yin virtue, and the hell will determine its fate according to the amount of loss. Those who lose less are humane, or rich, or powerful. Those who have lost a lot of money are either poor or sick, or they are driven into the cattle road. And the most..."

"What else?"

"There is also the worst thing, yin virtue becomes negative, into humanity, life will die in vain, heaven and earth will not collect! This kind of thing is determined by heaven, unless..."

"Unless anything, Brother Feng, you just told me?" I asked a little anxiously, hearing Bai Xiaofeng say this, I thought that my cousin's matter must be difficult to handle. However, listening to what he said later, it seems that there is still a turning point.

"Hey, brother, don't ask. My brother won't tell you, telling you is tantamount to hurting you, and Niu Shuai and I won't be able to explain it when the time comes. Don't ask, it's not good for you. Bai Xiaofeng said earnestly, listening to his words, it is indeed for my consideration.

But this "heaven and earth don't accept" is my cousin, how can I easily let it go. So I took out a wad of money from my bosom, stuffed it into his hand, and said in a pleading tone: "Brother Feng, you can do it, alas! That person is my cousin, how can I watch her become a lonely ghost and leave it alone! ”

"Brother Feng! Okay, just this once. Just tell me, and I promise that if you're doing something bad for me, I'm not going to do it. You can rest assured! Seeing Bai Xiaofeng's expression relaxed, as if he had been explained by me, I reassured.

"Hey, okay, brother, then I'll talk to you."

Bai Xiaofeng paused, and then spoke: "Heaven and earth do not receive, there must be cause and effect in their previous lives. or killed countless people in his previous life, or offended a certain adult in hell. The first of these two is good to say, as long as you take her cause and effect and offset it with your own yin virtue. The latter, you don't need to say it, you understand. If you can reach that level, you and I can't mess with it, even if it's Niu Shuai! ”

"That's why my brother advised you not to wade into this troubled water, no matter which one it is, you can't please it. Also, now that the ghost gate is closed, you can't go to hell at all. After the eighth day of the first lunar month, your cousin's soul book will be cancelled, and she will end up as a lonely ghost. Why did you bother to make a fuss for nothing? Listen to my brother's advice, people die like lights going out, not to mention that she is not your immediate family. It doesn't have much cause and effect with you, and it's not worth the risk you take. It's better to leave quickly, set up a soul shrine for your cousin, and worship it day and night, maybe it will make her soulless. Let's wait for another opportunity to be reincarnated..."

Bai Xiaofeng's words made my heart cold in my stomach, I didn't expect that there were so many ways behind this "heaven and earth do not receive". I can't help but feel powerless, cousin, it's not that your nephew won't help you, it's your character in your previous life, it's really explosive!

However, I still didn't give up and asked Bai Xiaofeng: "Brother Feng, is there no other way?" Taking a step back, can you let me take my cousin and enter the soul first, and then cancel the cause and effect? ”

When Bai Xiaofeng heard me say this, he smiled bitterly and said bluntly: "Brother, it's not that my brother won't help you, it's really no other way." Do you see that ghost gate? Don't talk about you, even the elder brother can't get in now, so he can only wait for the eighth ghost gate of the first month to open by himself. Hey, my brother advises you to die of this heart! ”

Hearing this, I bit the root of my teeth, and my heart was depressed. I had to bow to Bai Xiaofeng, and said goodbye: "Thank you Brother Feng for your advice, the little brother will return." After I go back, I will definitely thank Brother Feng for some kindness, and Brother Feng will smile. ”

"Hey, brother is polite, brother is not a ghost who covets money, it's just the price of this hell... Alas, don't talk about this, brother, hurry back, it's not good for the soul to stay here for a long time! ”

I bowed to Bai Xiaofeng again, pointed my sword on the spot, the light door rose again, and I stepped in.
