Now that the decision has been made, Yan Chixia plans to start the official work next.

But even if he wanted to enter the underworld, it would not be easy, so the next three full days were the time for the other party to prepare.

Du Bai had been observing carefully, and found that although the things prepared by Yan Chixia were quite cumbersome, they were not complicated, and most of them were commonly used by Taoist priests to cast spells.

For example, the runes used when casting spells, these are all drawn by their own hands, and there can be no mistakes.

Especially in matters involving the underworld, if there is a slight mistake, he will not hesitate to tear it up and rewrite it, and the energy and mana spent on it are not a few.

Du Bai secretly observed, originally wanted to take this opportunity to learn some, but unexpectedly found that the effects on these talismans were somewhat familiar.

"These runes may not work very well, if it were me, I could replace them with some symbols in the ghost text, and the effect should be better."

In this dream, he slowly flew out of Yan Chixia's body, and his slightly illusory figure landed steadily on the opposite side of this low table. And Yan Chixia, who was still immersed in drawing, turned a deaf ear to this, as if he didn't exist at all.

With a slight hook of his fingers, he saw that the talisman he had just drawn flew up and landed in his hand.

I saw that the ink print on it didn't seem to be completely dry, and the font on it was very eye-catching, very similar to the travelogue I had seen before, although it was a talisman, it was like a heroic swordsman with his own love sword carved out on it one by one, full of amazing sharp sword intent!

Even in this dream, people can't help but feel a sense of awe.

This is an admiration for a true chivalrous man!

But what really caught his eye was the content of the runes on it.

Although Du Bai did not learn the Dao technique orthodoxically, he could roughly understand it according to his understanding of runes.

And inexplicably there is a kind of confidence that I can improve these runes!

"Yan Chixia is only a mortal after all, all she has learned is the knowledge of mortals, and some ghost or immortal texts have already gone beyond the scope of her cognition......"

And rightfully so, he nodded to himself, waiting for the drawing to be completed, pondering what could be improved.

And in addition to this, there are many tributes.

From chicken, duck and beef, to seasonal fruits and vegetables, there are many categories and very detailed.

It took a lot of effort for Yan Chixia to prepare these things. However, in Du Bai's observation, this aspect should not be necessary.

To be precise, it's more like a necessary ritual.

For example, at the last moment of preparation, Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian were preparing the altar together, Nie Xiaoqian looked at the table full of tributes in front of her, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "Yan Daxia, are these tributes too much?" ”

"Hey, no more, no less!"

Yan Chixia just put a plate of roast suckling pig with a golden and crispy surface in the center of the table, wiped the sweat with her sleeve, shook her head and said, "I still think there are too few here!" If it weren't for the fact that this Lanruo Temple is too remote and the road remains unchanged, I would like to visit all the livestock on the market! ”

Immediately, he said mysteriously, as if he was teaching her: "My master teaches us, if you want to deal with the immortals, you must first give enough face!" Let them feel that they are valued and respected, so that they can ask them to do things! ”

"But...... Now the immortal god seems to be ......" Nie Xiaoqian wanted to speak and stopped, I don't know if this is appropriate.

Yan Chixia probably guessed what she wanted to say, and the movement of reaching out for incense paused slightly, and immediately said, "We can't think like that!" There is always a truth to this ancestor, what if the ghost and god really appear? What's more, there are some other uses for these things......"

"Other uses?" Nie Xiaoqian frowned, as if she was a little puzzled.

"You don't have to worry, you'll know later, how can I, Yan Chixia, do useless work?"

Yan Chixia patted her chest, and then continued to put things away.

After the sky was completely dark, Yan Chixia was not in a hurry, and continued to depict the talisman seal, this time, he used his own specially prepared bright red cinnabar to sketch on the talisman paper, which was very smooth and had a unique and strange beauty.

At this time, Nie Xiaoqian had already followed his instructions, temporarily staying away from the surroundings of this altar, she looked around with some worry and anxiety, but saw that as the night became deeper and deeper, it was like a black veil covering the sky, and the moon was a little hazy and no longer clear.

The surrounding area of the altar has also been filled with bamboo flags in the order of a certain formation, and the top is pasted with a piece of sigil drawn before. I don't know when a gust of wind blew, which made the bamboo pole shake slightly, and also made the talisman seal above flutter between the "silk" sound.

It was as if a pair of yellowed corpses' palms were waving strangely, waiting for the prey to approach.

Time gradually passed, and Yan Chixia was finally fully prepared.

He put down his pen and picked up his sword, looked up at the sky, and then looked down with a pensive face and counted his fingers, and said, "The time has come, and it is almost time to begin!" ”

Then he stood up, stretched out his hand and made a move out of thin air, and the next moment he saw that the bamboo flags erected in all directions had all settled down, and even the talisman seals on them no longer fluttered, as if they were firmly nailed by nails, and they did not dare to move.

He nodded in satisfaction, and then turned back and swung his sword to slash a few unlit candles in front of him, and then saw the candles light up in unison, and the faint and jumping light of the fire temporarily illuminated the area where the altar was located.

Yan Chixia then officially began to open the altar, closed her eyes and concentrated, chanting some mantra secrets in her mouth, stepping on a special step, I don't know when it started, bursts of yin wind gradually began to rise around, and it became bigger and bigger, as if she wanted to uproot this altar, but because Yan Chixia was in charge, she couldn't shake it at all.

Du Bai, who was watching from the side, wrote down these details one by one to ensure that he could reproduce them perfectly when the time came.

And then, Yan Chixia suddenly opened her eyes suddenly, and a fine light seemed to flash in her eyes, and then she shouted: "Wow! ”

And he bit the tip of his tongue heavily, spit out a mouthful of blood from his heart, sprayed on the body of his sword, mixed with those candle flames, and the sound of "zizi" sounded, and gradually rose a white mist, which quickly spread to all sides of the altar with the yin wind whistling around it.

It even seems to be endless, enveloping a large area of land in front of you!

The original flowers and trees are gradually hidden in the white mist, the fog is getting thicker and thicker, but there is a faint thin black shadow that seems to appear in the thinner white mist, like a walking corpse staggering and moving, sometimes from the depths of the fog came what seemed to be a baby's cry and like a woman's desperate cry, the voice was sharp and piercing, so that the listener couldn't help but feel a chill in his back and shiver.

Even Nie Xiaoqian, who was originally a ghost, couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and carefully transported her mana to protect the trees around her and behind her, guarding against possible dangers.

It's just that at this time, she suddenly heard a leisurely voice from Yan Chixia on the altar: "Don't worry, these are just lonely ghosts who have not reached the end of their life after death, and they can't enter the ghost gate without the guidance of the shadow." Before the end of their lifespan, most of them can only wander around like this, unsane, harmless to humans and animals. ”

"Hmm!" Nie Xiaoqian relieved her heart slightly, but when she saw the pitiful appearance of those lonely souls and wild ghosts, she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart.

I'm worried about what would happen if Ning Lang also became like this.

And the appearance of these things means that the real ghost gate is about to open. At that time, she will be able to use this ghost gate to sneak into the underworld to find people.

She asked a little impatiently, "Yan Daxia, is the ghost gate about to open?" ”

I just got a negative answer.

"It's not officially opened yet. An important step is still missing. Yan Chixia shook her head and said, looking at the depths of the white mist in front of her with a somewhat solemn expression, "According to the normal procedure, it should be my practice to report to the officials of the underworld, and use many benefits to ask them to be accommodating and open the ghost gate." ”

"But now that the ghosts are no longer bad, if I want to open the ghost door, I can only take a trick and find another way."

As soon as he spoke, he held some rune paper in his hand that he had specially drawn before, and suddenly threw it into the air, which spontaneously combusted in an instant, and in an instant, it turned into a fist-sized fireball and flew in all directions.

Some flew into the air and disappeared, some escaped into the ground and completely blended in, and some flew into the white mist and were completely engulfed in, leaving no trace.

Yan Chixia nodded slightly, and gasped lightly, probably because Fang Cai's move was quite strenuous.

"Only let the ghost inside the ghost door pass help me push the ghost door open from the inside!" He muttered.

As those fireballs flew away, he could already feel a slight response.

This is good news and shows that he was not wrong.

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but be a little surprised, feeling that this method was so unbelievable, but at this point, she could only choose to believe that Yan Chixia had not guessed wrong.

This method fell on the side of Du Bai's ears is also shocking, although after thinking about it, he feels that there is some truth in surprise, but he still can't help but sigh very emotionally.

"It's also thanks to the fact that the ghosts and gods are not here now, otherwise, if the ghosts and gods know about such a rebellious thing as forcibly opening the ghost door from the inside, I'm afraid that even if Yan Chixia has ten lives, she won't be enough to die, maybe she will have to go to the eighteenth layer of hell to show punishment!"

And more importantly......

Du Bai glanced at Yan Chixia's skillful movements and confident appearance strangely, all kinds of details showed that this was not the first time, and he could even be regarded as a veteran......

He couldn't help crying and laughing: "It turns out that it's really an old fritter......"

However, I was also a little happy in my heart, and I felt that it was worth the trip.

"Being able to use Yan Chixia like this many times without any problems shows that this method is indeed effective for a long time, and if you do it properly, you should be able to proceed smoothly!"

Just as he was thinking, Yan Chixia's movements had already continued to the next step.

I only heard the sound of the heavy stone door pushing from nowhere, accompanied by the white mist suddenly rolling violently like a wave, and it was getting closer and closer, as if it was close at hand, and it seemed to fit with my own heartbeat!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

At one moment, it almost makes people feel like their hearts are stagnant, almost suffocating!

Du Bai quickly reacted, his eyes stared into the depths of the surging mist, and muttered to himself, "This is the ghost gate closed?!" ”

The Ghost Gate Pass is a symbol of death for mortals, and a living person can see the Ghost Gate, almost half a leg into the coffin.

It's no wonder that mortals have such an indescribable sense of fear and oppression!

And as the sound of the stone door got closer and closer, and even when it was like a war drum, a huge dark shadow gradually appeared in the white mist.

It was about ten feet tall, almost as shocking as a hill from his mortal perspective, and it looked like a ferocious beast that was gradually waking up from the wilderness, raising its huge head to reveal its hideous horns, devouring all the creatures around it to fill its emptiness!

It wasn't until those white mist were squeezed away that the true appearance of this ghost gate finally appeared in front of him.

I saw that it was a kind of gate similar to bronze, with all kinds of magical and mysterious patterns engraved on it, including flowers and yellow springs on the other side, or ghosts and monsters with hideous faces roaring, revealing a sense of heaviness and mystery that came to the face.

Even in this dream, Du Bai seemed to be able to smell the smell of decay that permeated the air from too long a time.

And the doorknobs of the bronze gate are two equally huge ghost heads, just the eyes are the size of a basin, with green fangs, extremely terrifying.

In normal times, I'm afraid that these two huge ghost heads alone would be enough to scare off ordinary ghosts, and even if the brave tried to get closer, their sharp teeth would be enough to tear apart all the little ones!

But at present, it is strange to see the two ghost heads as if they were dead, with their eyes tightly closed and their heads drooping. Even under the huge movement of the Ghost Gate Pass, they did not fulfill any of their due duties, and there was not the slightest movement or sound.

Du Bai was stunned for a moment and then understood.

If it weren't for the fact that these two ghost leaders also died, Yan Chixia wouldn't dare to be so bold to urge those little ghosts to do something.

As the door approached, a very loud scream, noise, or laughter could be faintly heard coming from the crack in the door.

It's as if there are countless ghosts on the other side, ready to come out at any time!
