Chapter 30: Nine Dragons' Groans
After arriving at the Imperial Tablet Pavilion, the stone turtle that was originally standing still was illuminated by the golden and white light, and the stone tablet it carried slowly rose with a golden cloud pattern, and it raised its head violently, opened its mouth wide, and spit out a yellow light from its mouth, shooting obliquely to the land in front of it.
The gold-and-white 'paper' seemed to be affected by the Imperial Tablet Pavilion, and instead of continuing to fly, it directly followed the yellow light spit out of the stone turtle's mouth and drilled down to the ground. After a while of walking in the earth, I suddenly felt empty in front of me, and the gold and white 'paper' led me to a strange space. The soil inside this space is actually colorful, and it always exudes a faint light, illuminating the whole space brilliantly and colorfully. In the center of this space, there is a huge coffin, and inside the coffin, a man in a yellow beast robe is lying.
The man's facial features were clear, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he had just fallen asleep, and his expression was serene. But I don't know why, after seeing this man for the first time, I had an inexplicable sense of familiarity in my heart, like an old friend who had known each other for a long time, and reunited after a long absence.
This face seemed to be full of infinite magic, and when staring at him, it was as if he was facing a deep starry sky, and the whole person's mind was pulled and deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate himself. So my heavenly soul involuntarily jumped into the coffin, and slowly lay down with his eyes closed along the body of the man in the yellow beast robe.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, I seemed to have had a long, long dream, and when I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying inside a huge coffin, inside the coffin, carved with the earth, mountains, insects, fish, birds and beasts, outside the coffin, there was a colorful space, in that space, even the color of the soil was gorgeous and colorful. And at this moment, above my head, there was a yellow and white 'paper' that kept vibrating, growing larger, and finally from the size of two palms to become like a sheet, slowly descending from the air, covering me, at the same time, I vaguely felt the earth behind me began to vibrate violently, and there were nine sad dragon moans in my ears
It was gloomy, dark and damp all around, and from time to time, there were gusts of cold wind with a low cry, and at this moment, I felt as if I had just crawled out of the icy water, cold, hungry, and scared and nervous.
"Where is this? Have I arrived in the underworld? "It was dark and empty, and there was a fog rising from it, so that I could see less than ten meters, so I walked alone for some distance and asked myself.
"That's right, this is the Netherworld. A lonely ghost dares to run around on the lonely soul road, but it is very dangerous. ”
Just when I was confused and overwhelmed, a low voice suddenly came from behind me. Turning my head, I saw a fat and short middle-aged man in a Taoist robe walking towards me in the mist. It is also strange to say that the Taoist robe on this man's body is colorful and colorful, and the center of the lotus crown on his head is neither Tai Chi nor the sun, moon and stars, but a black grass carp with a writhing body, giving people a feeling of being out of place.
At this moment, he is smiling all over his mouth, although it is a little obscene, but it still gives people a sense of approachability. When he saw my face, he showed a look of surprise and said, "Why you?" What a coincidence. It seems that this is all fate, you and I are destined, I will help you again, follow me. ”
"This, Dao Chief, do you know me?" Looking at his outfit, I didn't even know what to call him for a while, and after a moment, I asked.
"Oh, of course I don't know." He blinked his eyes quickly, his tone was a little hurried, and he hurriedly retorted, "How is it possible, of course I don't know you, you are such a public face, it is the Taoist who I recognize the wrong person, come with me, you are only left with such an earth soul, wandering around this lonely soul road, it is very dangerous." ”
"Earth Soul?" I asked again, confused.
"Hmm." The Dao Leader nodded and said, "If my guess is correct, you should have been extremely frightened and frightened when you were alive. And now in front of my eyes is your earth soul. ”
"Am I just an earth soul now? What about my other two souls? ”
Dao Chang said: "The human soul depends on the body, and I see that you have just died, so your human soul should remain in your corpse for the time being." As for your Heavenly Soul, it's hard to say, the Heavenly Soul will float around the corpse in a short time after leaving the body, but if a random gust of wind blows, it will either be blown away directly, or it will be blown away. In this case, you have to summon your soul immediately, recall your heavenly soul and seven spirits back into your body, and then on the day of your first seven, let your earth soul return to yang, and you may still be able to live. ”
"So, can I still survive?" Suddenly hearing that I was dead, my earth soul was full of despair, but when this Dao Leader said this, my eyes lit up, and I hurriedly asked, "Dao Chief, do you know that my Heavenly Soul and Seven Spirits have been recruited?" ”
"Uh, wait, let me do the math." After finishing speaking, the Taoist closed his eyes, stretched out his left hand, his thumb quickly moved on the other four fingers, and his mouth was even more thoughtful, after a long time, he opened his eyes, and said with a somewhat serious expression, "Your seven spirits have been recalled to the body, and the seven spirits dominate the operation of the internal system of the human body, so with the support of the human soul and the seven spirits, you can be regarded as picking up half a life." ”
"Half-life? What about my Heavenly Soul? I asked nervously.
"Don't be nervous. This means that your bodily functions are normal, but you lack the Earth Soul and Heavenly Soul that control your mind, and in modern technical terms, you should be considered a vegetative person. Just send your earth soul into your body on the first seven days, and you can be resurrected. The Taoist chief explained to me, "But it's strange to say, I can calculate the whereabouts of your human soul and the seven spirits, but I can't figure out where your heavenly soul is, and vaguely, I can only feel that your heavenly soul seems to be inside a huge coffin." ”
"Can my Heavenly Soul be brought back?" I asked.
"I don't think it's good to be in my way, that coffin seems to be ruthless, I just calculated, I almost caught its way, if it weren't for Lao Tzu me, no, if it wasn't for the Taoist chief, I reacted quickly, my mind was developed, the four were flexible, handsome and chic, I'm afraid that my soul was scattered at this moment. Even I am still like this, I'm afraid there are few people in this world who dare to try to recruit this heavenly soul. The Taoist shook his head.
"However, if there is no Heavenly Soul, my three souls and seven souls are not incomplete, will it be affected in any way?" Hearing the Taoist say this, I asked even more worriedly.
"The impact is definitely there." Instead, the Dao Chief said with an indifferent face, "Earth Soul and Heavenly Soul dominate people's thinking, what do you say will happen if one is missing?" Although you can wake up after your soul returns, your memories and thoughts are not complete at that time. To put it mildly, it's a fool. ”
"What then?" I don't want to be a fool, so I asked.
"There's nothing I can do about it, if you want to restore the soul of the earth, just follow me." The Taoist chief didn't pay any attention to my anxious tone and look, but walked in front of me in a dashing manner, and said without looking back, "Actually, this is not necessarily bad, and there is no trouble when you become a fool, isn't it?" ”
"Ugh." I sighed deeply, and after hesitating for a while, I could only tell myself that one step at a time, the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge, and then quickly follow behind the road chief.
Although the road ahead was still gloomy and empty, from time to time you could still see a few lonely ghosts floating by, some of them had no heads, some of them lacked arms and legs, in short, very few had complete bodies.
"See. The wandering lonely ghosts just now are the same as you, and they have just died, but they are not so lucky, their souls are blown away by the wind, so they lack arms and legs. "This is still the result of their bodies still existing, if their bodies are completely decomposed or destroyed, then their souls will lose the protection from the physical body, and they will be easily infected by the evil spirit, gradually lose their sense of self, and become evil spirits." ”
"Hmm." I nodded as if I didn't understand, and followed closely behind the Dao Chief.
"Haha, you kid is really lucky, say Cao Cao Cao will arrive, when I take out a gourd, you don't care about anything, just rush forward desperately." Before I could take a few steps forward, the Taoist suddenly stopped and said to me with a sneer.
"Run? Dao Chief, is there something going on? Then how do I get in touch with the Dao Chief, Dao Chief, you promised to help me return my soul. I asked anxiously.
"You just need to run forward, I have left a mark on your earth soul, and I will naturally find you when the time comes."
Before he finished speaking, a low cry suddenly came from all around, and he saw that not far away, there were dozens of dark red figures floating from the air, this figure was like a human form, but it was only half a head, the mouth was full of jagged fangs, and the only remaining eye was constantly bleeding blood.
"Run, these are all evil ghosts infected by the evil spirit, fierce and aggressive, specializing in other weak souls, if you are targeted by them, you won't be able to run." The Taoist roared at me, and then his body swept to the side with great agility, and in the process of running, he also took out a green gourd in his hand, and a yellow talisman was sealed at the mouth of the gourd.
"Bang." When I moved my legs and fled away from the direction of the Dao Chief, the Dao Chang violently tore open the talisman sealed at the mouth of the gourd, and dozens of green smoke floated out from the inside of the gourd, constantly twisting and circulating in the air, and finally turned into dozens of figures, among these figures, there were expressionless middle-aged men, there were also children who were crawling and laughing, and women holding their heads and crying, etc.
