Chapter 7: The Temple of Eternal Life

(Outside the Hall of Eternal Life of the Earth Ghosts)

The entrance of the earth ghost is in the Qisheng Gate, which is divided into two roads, five hundred miles to the left is the Nai He Bridge, and five hundred miles to the right is the Hall of Eternal Life.

The Hall of Eternal Life, the place where the undead sacrifice the Soul Stone. The temple covers six acres and is oval in shape, resembling a limestone castle with a recessed top and a façade covered with large and small arches.

In the Hexiang Pavilion last night, the leaf thorns were unbearably tight, but they returned to normal after about half a pillar of incense. Jing Wei floated them together with the boxes thousands of miles away from the gate, so naturally she didn't have to worry about being discovered by the four strong men guarding the door.

It was at that time that they discovered that the Hexiang Pavilion was indeed boundless, and this space contained the roster of all the dead creatures from ancient times to the present, which was also a great miracle.

Ye Thorn carefully flipped through the last box of the roster on the fourth day of the lunar month, until the five names on the last page appeared in front of her eyes, her heart that had been hanging finally fell, because there were no three words "Demon Ziyan" in those five names.

And the Hall of Eternal Life naturally became the next target of the leaf thorn.

In Sixi's memory, Ye Thorn had never seen this temple, only because Sixi died seven hundred years ago, and he heard that this hall of eternal life was built about four or five hundred years ago.

Along the way, Ye Thorn saw that it was naturally a team with no tail, and she and Jing Wei and Xintong temporarily connected their hair together and hid themselves. When he came to the door of the main hall, he saw a middle-aged woman who was untidy and her lower body was covered with blood kneeling on the ground, pulling the trouser leg of the doorkeeper, and begging: "Sir, you can do it, let me stay!"

"Eldest sister, if you want to stay, you have to rely on your ability!" said the ghost general guarding the door impatiently.

The middle-aged woman seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly said: "I can cook, I was a cook when I was alive, and my skills are good, my rice soup shop is famous in Chang'an, and many people come over to drink a bowl of my rice soup." ”

The young general said with a disdainful face. "We don't need this craft, we only breathe the yang energy of the river and never eat. ”

The water of the Lechuan River, originating from the Qishengmen, passes through the Nai He Bridge, spirals down, and runs through the eighteen halls of ghosts in a spiral shape.

When tens of thousands of undead cross the bridge every day, their souls will be sucked away by the Lethe River, and the ghosts and creatures of the earth live on the yang energy in this river. Because in every temple that goes down the river, the yang energy will be sucked away, so when the water of the Lechuan River flows to the underworld, only the yin energy remains.

At the end of the river is the world-famous Aoyang Pond.

At this time, after hearing the words of the middle-aged woman, another young general guarding the door hurriedly came over and said curiously: "You just said rice soup?

The middle-aged woman was surprised when she heard this, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, exactly! Sir, you know right, right?!"

Originally, Ye Thorn didn't want to pay attention to these irrelevant things, after all, there are too many miserable and tragic things in this world, and they can't be changed by one person; Ye Thorn thought so, at this time she had already stepped into the hall with one foot, but when she heard the words "wine fragrant rice soup", she stopped unconsciously.

Isn't this the small farmhouse shop on the outskirts of Chang'an that I ate with Mo Ziyan at that time? Ye Thorn still remembers the green willow leaves planted around the shop, remembers Xin'er napping on the eaves in the afterglow of the setting sun, remembers that Mo Ziyan drank six bowls in one go, remembers the cute lark he conjured up for himself with illusion, and remembers the bowl of rice soup......

It's the water of the Hacking Pond!

The middle-aged woman thought that the chief who came over was a familiar customer of her life, and thought that he could give a favor and let herself sacrifice the soul stone. Unexpectedly, the young general said with disdain after hearing this: "Who can not know that the food in your store is poisonous, and it was personally ordered to be seized by the emperor, and all the guys in the store were hanged." ”

Ye Thorn was startled, he was also present when Yun Peng was interrogating the people he had seized from the store in the official mansion. There were three people, all young men, two of the three said they were cooks, and the other beckoned him and Mo Ziyan's shopkeeper to say that he was a buddy, and said that there was no one else in the store...... And the woman in front of her just called herself a cook, could it be that the three of them lied?

After two hours of trial that day, there was no result, so Yun Peng ordered them all to be taken down, Ye Thorn thought that he was letting them go back, but he didn't expect that the meaning of "take them down" turned out to be...... Extinguish the mouth.

"I'm wronged!" As soon as the middle-aged woman heard this, tears fell from her eyes, and she said while sobbing: "Our family has been running this shop for four generations, and it has been open for nearly a hundred years, and it is just a taste and brand, how can you say that I would poison the food......

"It's useless to talk too much, you better hurry up and reincarnate!" the young general urged.

"But I really can't go, I'm looking for my father-in-law, he said that if he dies first, he will definitely wait for me......"

"You are too naïve, there are so many lovers in the world, everyone comes to the earth and ghosts, etc., then we will have no place to live, but the words of waiting for three years on the bridge mean that I heard it before I was alive, everyone is waiting for the bridge to collapse a long time ago!" said the young general who came over.

"That's right, we've heard too many stories like this, and your husband must have gone to reincarnate a long time ago!" said the young man who was pulling his trouser leg and kicked the woman away.

Ye Thorn was anxious and wanted to rush to help her, but was stopped by Jing Wei.

The woman cried and got up and begged: "Sir, you listen to me, I am old and have a daughter, but my husband was sick not long ago and died, I survived for this child, about half a month ago, a lot of soldiers suddenly came outside the store, scared the customers away, the two sons rushed out, the younger son hid me in the cellar, let me hide first, who knew that when I came out, the door of the store was sealed, my son ...... It's gone......" She couldn't stop crying when she said this, and the two young generals didn't continue to answer after hearing this, as if there was still a trace of sympathy in their hearts, and this sympathy was maintaining their last patience.

The woman continued while crying: "For the sake of the fetus in my womb, I have to hide in Tibet, and I can only live in a cave and eat wild fruits......

Ye Thorn was startled, she turned out to be a dystocia and died, no wonder she was not dressed properly, no wonder her lower body was full of blood at this time......

The woman lowered her head and choked up: "It's a daughter, she's still so young, I gave birth to her alone in a cave, surrounded by mountains, deserted, and I'm dead again, what will she do...... She's not going to live long, she's going to be here soon, she's going to be scared, so I can't go first, and my husband and sons might be in there......"

Before the woman could finish speaking, the young general interrupted: "Eldest sister, you can dispel this thought!

"Why?" the middle-aged woman looked puzzled.

"Your family has just died not long ago, and they died late, and they will die two hundred years early, as long as you want, you can sacrifice the soul stone and enter this eternal life hall;

"But what if they pass the test just now?"

"You've seen it in the assessment, haven't you?!Your husband and son are all running small businesses, and they can't learn martial arts if they don't know how to do it, and it's impossible to live, they must have been reincarnated early! And your newborn baby girl is even more impossible, so you still obediently go to the Nai He Bridge to line up, and reincarnate early and give birth early!" said a ghost general.

"But ......" the middle-aged woman was about to say something, when a voice interrupted, "Let her in!"

This voice came from inside the hall, and Ye Thorn looked back and was shocked!

Nan Xian'er!
