CHAPTER XXVII

The underworld, the Sui capital, is quiet in the dead of night.

Sunflower Ancestor wandered on the street, swept a glance at the empty street, the bewitching crescent moon sprinkled a faint hazy moonlight, the houses on both sides, gradually extinguished the lights, and the whole city fell into sleep.

The sound of "bang-la-la-......" remembered that the sunflower ancestor stepped into the void and hid in the courtyard of a private house.

Sunflower Ancestor glanced through the crack in the door and looked outside.

Seven patrol soldiers in black armor walked outside the courtyard, and three drunken men with hazy eyes and wandering walked behind the group, with their hands handcuffed by iron chains.

With a "plop", a young drunk fell to the ground.

"Motherfucker, son of a bitch." A soldier walked over and cursed.

The young drunk didn't react. The soldier frowned, glanced at the well not far away, and ordered the soldier on the side, "Sober him up." ”

"Yes, whatever." A soldier trotted to the well, carried a large bucket of cold well water, and poured it over the young drunk.

"Ge Laozi, look for death." The young drunk woke up with a curse, and glanced at the patrol soldiers in front of him with drunken eyes.

Shi Chang's right hand suddenly came out, and with a "snap" sound, he left five bright red handprints on the right face of the young drunk, and said with a cruel smile: "Who are you, who are you trying to kill?" ”

With a "snap", Shi Chang hit the young drunk man on the left side of his face.

"Crackling ......"

The young drunk begged for mercy: "Master Jun, spare your life." ”

"Phew." Shi Chang spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, "You dare to be so arrogant in violation of the curfew." ”

The young drunkard said to me: "Master Jun, read my first offense, spare me." ”

Shi Chang snorted coldly, "Take out your 'body post'." ”

The young drunk begged for mercy: "Master Jun, I'm just violating the curfew, there's no need to take the 'photo post'." ”

Shi Chang sneered: "Violation of curfew, arrest, insults, threats to officers and soldiers......"

The young man was drunk and angry, and hurriedly said: "Master Jun, I will hand over the 'photo post'." ”

The young man hurriedly took out a bronze medal from his pocket and respectfully handed it to the chief.

Shi Chang was stunned, took the bronze medal, and glanced at the bronze medal, "Yang Tai." ”

Yang Tai nodded yes, bowed down and said, "Master Jun, what else do you command?" ”

Shi Chang paused, rubbing the brand-new bronze medal, the texture was excellent, and there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power, "I didn't expect it to be an official body." ”

Yang Tai stared at the hesitant Shi Chang, and whispered: "The junior brother collided with the military master today, and he will set up a banquet to make amends for his sins another day, and I hope that the younger brother's first offense will not be recorded." ”

Shi Chang stared at Yang Tai and pondered: "This is an official who is still in the inspection period, and the brand-new bronze medal is evidence, although I don't know the specific position, but I can get an official body in the Sui Capital, and I think there must be some power behind him." ”

"It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy."

Shi Chang's face softened slightly, handed the "photo post" back to Yang Tai, and said in a low voice: "If you think of your first offense, you won't be punished this time, but you still have to go to the yamen with me." ”

Yang Tai took the "photo post" and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Jun." ”

……

Sunflower Ancestor retracted his gaze and muttered, "It's been a few days since I came to the Underworld, and I still don't have a clue about the mission of the main god. ”

"Although along the way, by reading the memory fragments of the lonely soul and wild ghosts, I have some understanding of the information of Sui Land."

"This 'photo post' is similar to an ID card, there is no 'photo post', but it is difficult to move an inch."

Just as Sunflower Ancestor was hesitating, a burst of words interrupted Sunflower Ancestor's thoughts.

"Old man, today Lao Li Tou came to collect taxes again, he said that if he doesn't pay it again, we can only move out of the Sui capital and use the house to offset the tax."

"This year's situation is not good, the spiritual food is not harvested, and there is a military disaster in the yang world, the incense of my old Zhao family is broken, and there is no incense supply in the yang world, and it is only a matter of time before the old Zhao family breaks its roots."

"Woo ......"

"Don't cry, old woman, your children and grandchildren have been burning for three hundred years, and the incense is continuous, and how many neighbors have been envious."

"Old man, I'm not greedy for life and afraid of death, I'm just sad for those displaced juniors."

"Descendants, for three hundred years, the incense has continued, and after death, when we come to the underworld, we can't shelter one or two, and we have recklessly accepted the incense of our descendants for three hundred years."

The old man sighed, "This is fate." ”

The old woman cried, "Old man, I don't care about other things, but the three boys entrusted by the juniors to our family cannot become lonely ghosts with us. ”

"They are only half the size of the children, the oldest age is no more than twelve, this damn military disaster in the yang world, even the children are not spared, but it's a pity that these juniors haven't even made a family."

The old man said helplessly: "It's all fate." ”

The old woman scolded: "Life, life, you will say this, Lao Li Tou, after three hundred years of incense, he has cultivated to the 'Spirit Realm', you waste, you have not been able to break through the 'Heart Movement Realm' without receiving three hundred years of incense." ”

The old man seemed to be told the sore spot, and said angrily: "Old woman, in the past three hundred years, you have not suffered less from the offerings of your descendants, and you have not seen you break through to the 'heart beating realm', why do you say me?" ”

The old woman shouted: "Are you a man, you have no ability, and you blame me for being a woman." ”

"Since marrying into your Zhao family, I haven't enjoyed a day of pure happiness, I will accompany you to eat bran and drink thin while I am alive, and I will accompany you to plant spiritual food after death, and I will not stop for three hundred years."

"Lao Li Tou, who was from the same village as us before his death, had the same background, and came to the underworld after his death, but he only received three hundred years of incense from his descendants, and he broke through to the 'heartbeat realm' and became an official."

"As for you, for three hundred years, you are counting on those incense offerings from your descendants."

……

The old man scolded: "Enough, old woman, you pay so much attention to Lao Li Tou, why didn't you marry Lao Li Tou back then." ”

With a "bang", the old man slammed the door and left, leaving the old woman sobbing alone.

……

The old man walked out of the courtyard angrily, lit a dry cigarette, inhaled it "popping", and stared at the crescent moon in the sky, "God, what mistake did my Zhao family make, my descendants have been incense for three hundred years, and I can't break through to the 'heartbeat' realm." ”

Old man Zhao took out a blank piece of paper from his arms and said with a wry smile: "The Great Sui popularized the cultivation method. ”

"Why is Lao Li Tou, with this cultivation method, he can break through, and I have worked hard for three hundred years, and there is no hope of breaking through."

"God, are you blind and want to play tricks on my old Zhao family like this."

"Now you are happy, the old Zhao family has no children and grandchildren, and our dead souls will also become lonely souls and wild ghosts, dying in vain in the suburbs, and our souls will be scattered."

"Ahem......"

"Who?" Lao Zhao put away the white paper in his left hand, put it in his pocket, and looked for prestige, only to see a delicate woman, with a fair face, delicate skin, a thin and thin figure, Qianqian's jade hands are like jade shoots, and a cloud-like black hair is wrapped with green silk.

Lao Zhao Tou was stunned, "Little sister-in-law, which family are you a descendant, why did you come here?" ”

Sunflower Ancestor Zou Xiu eyebrows, "Little girl? ”

The coldness in Sunflower Ancestor's eyes flashed, and the light and delicate words sounded: "The old man has misunderstood, the younger generation is a man." ”

Old Zhao Tou was stunned, looked at the Sunflower Ancestor carefully, and wondered: "No Adam's apple?" ”

Lao Zhao shook his head and said embarrassedly: "Old and clumsy, please forgive me." ”

Sunflower Ancestor smiled: "It's okay, my appearance is indeed easy to misunderstand." ”

Lao Zhao glanced at the Sunflower Ancestor and exclaimed, "Little brother, you have a good appearance." ”

Sunflower Ancestor arched his hand and said, "The old man has won the prize." ”

Old Zhao Tou stared at the Sunflower Ancestor and said in a deep voice: "Little brother, here late at night, somehow? ”

Sunflower Ancestor showed a sad expression on his face, "The younger generation passed away in the sun, came to the underworld, and came to Sui Capital to look for relatives, but unfortunately there was nothing during the day, and it was a night curfew, so I could only go to the old man's courtyard to take refuge, and I hope the old man will forgive his sins." ”

Old Zhao nodded, "It's okay." ”

Sunflower Ancestor thanked him: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Lao Zhao Tou picked up the dry tobacco, looked at the sky, took a deep breath, and spit out a puff of smoke, "Little brother, it's cold outside, if you don't dislike it, you can go to my hall to avoid the cold." ”

Sunflower Ancestor waved his hand and said: "The old man is polite, it is enough to have a foothold in his later life, so he will not disturb the old man." ”

Old Zhao Tou sighed, "Little brother heard it." ”

Sunflower Ancestor said apologetically: "Please also ask the old man to forgive his sins." ”

Lao Zhao waved his hand, "A little trivial matter, let the little brother smile." ”

Old Zhao Tou paused and stared at Sunflower Ancestor, "Who is the little brother?" ”

Sunflower Ancestor replied: "The younger generation is from Chenzhou, Hebei Province. ”

Old Zhao nodded: "I don't know how many days the little brother has been in the underworld?" ”

Sunflower Ancestor replied: "It's been three days. ”

Old Zhao Tou sighed, "It's a pity, I suffered this disaster at a young age." ”

Sunflower Ancestor smiled: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, you can't force it." ”

"Huh." Lao Zhao Tou smiled: "Little brother can see it." ”

Sunflower Ancestor sighed and shook his head: "I can only take one step at a time." ”

Old Zhao Tou said helplessly: "This is all fate." ”

Sunflower Ancestor said with concern: "The old man seems to have something to worry about, if you don't mind, you might as well tell the late life, and the late life will help you learn a thing or two." ”

Old Zhao Tou stared at the Sunflower Ancestor and sighed, "As the little brother heard just now, I have received three hundred years of incense from my descendants, but I can't break through the 'heartbeat realm'. ”

Sunflower Ancestor looked Lao Zhao Tou up and down, his right hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed Lao Zhao's right hand like lightning, and a cold spiritual power surged towards Lao Zhao's body.

Old Zhao Tou felt the cold spiritual power entering his body, stared at Sunflower Ancestor with cloudy eyes, and exclaimed, "Little brother, what is this for?" ”

Sunflower Ancestor smiled and said sincerely: "Don't worry, old man, if it is a problem in cultivation, I can help one or two." ”

Old Zhao Tou stared at Sunflower Ancestor's sincere eyes and let go of the uneasiness in his heart.

……

A moment later.

Sunflower Ancestor let go of Old Zhao's right hand and frowned.

Seeing this, Old Zhao Tou stared at Sunflower Ancestor with hopeful eyes: "Little brother, is there something wrong with my cultivation?" ”

Sunflower Ancestor sighed and stared at Old Zhao Tou, "Old man, there is nothing wrong with your cultivation, it's just that your spiritual power is too complicated, and the internal chaos of the underworld body is unable to cast the foundation of the underworld body and open up the dantian." ”

Old Zhao Tou said eagerly: "Can it still be saved?" ”

Sunflower Ancestor groaned slightly and nodded, "The old man's cultivation method, can you let me take a look." ”

Lao Zhao took out the white paper from his pocket, hesitated slightly, and handed it to the Sunflower Ancestor: "This is the Great Sui Popularization Cultivation Method, little brother, please take a look." ”

Sunflower Ancestor took over the Great Sui Popularization Cultivation Method and read it carefully.

……

A few minutes later.

Sunflower Ancestor returned the cultivation method in his hand, "Old man, are there only the first three layers?" ”

Lao Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, the government has a rule that only those who have cultivated to the third level can apply for the follow-up heart method. ”

Sunflower Ancestor nodded and muttered, "If the old man wants to break through the 'heartbeat realm', I'm afraid he will have to suffer a little. ”

Lao Zhao Tou smiled bitterly: "If you can break through the 'heartbeat realm', are you still afraid of hardship?" ”

Sunflower Ancestor stared at Lao Zhao's head, and said with a straight face: "Even if life is better than death, it will not hesitate." ”

Old Zhao Tou stared at the serious Sunflower Ancestor, nodded and said: "Little brother, if you can help me break through the 'heartbeat realm', you will be my Zhao Dalong's benefactor, and my Zhao Dalong's life is a benefactor." ”

Sunflower Ancestor waved his hand and said: "The old man's words are serious, but the pain of condensing spiritual power is extraordinary, and I don't want the old man's return." ”

Zhao Dalong smiled bitterly: "If I can't break through the 'heartbeat realm', I'm just a waste who has been suffering from the incense of my descendants for three hundred years." ”

"Come on."

Sunflower Ancestor smiled slightly, stretched out his Qianqian jade hand, stroked it towards the top of Zhao Dalong's head, and closed his eyes.

"Sunflower Treasure Book, Extreme Yin Condensation."

An extremely cold spiritual power converged into Zhao Dalong's body, and the extreme yin spiritual power passed through, and the mixed spiritual power was compressed and refined by the cold spiritual power, and the mixed spiritual power fused with each other, and the black spiritual power was separated from the mixed spiritual power and guided out of the body by the Sunflower Ancestor.

Zhao Dalong seemed to be trapped in the ice domain, his soul seemed to be frozen, his mouth opened wide, as if he was about to cry out in pain, but he couldn't make any figure, his body couldn't help trembling, and the inside of his body seemed to have received countless ice blade cuts, endlessly. Time seems to freeze, and this moment seems to be forever.

……

Time passes.

Sunflower Ancestor guided the purified spiritual power to flow to the lower dantian in the abdomen in accordance with the popularization of the Tang Dynasty, as if the water came naturally, thick and thin, bubbling and flowing spiritual power, condensed a lotus seed, in an instant, the lotus seed took root and sprouted, growing a lotus flower, there was a lotus-shaped object in the center of the lotus flower began to grow and develop, and the flowing spiritual power seemed to have found a direction, through the roots of the lotus seed, and constantly converged to the lotus-shaped object.

Sunflower Ancestor opened his eyes, withdrew his right hand, and smiled lightly, "Old man, it's okay." ”

Zhao Dalong opened his eyes, a flash of spiritual light flashed in his cloudy eyes, Zhao Dalong stretched out his right hand, staring at the wrinkled reduced right hand, and suddenly burst into tears.

Zhao Dalong came back to his senses, wiped away his tears, and thanked the Sunflower Ancestor: "Engong, accept my three worships." ”

Sunflower Ancestor stopped: "Don't do this, I'm just trying my best." ”

"Knock knock," Zhao Dalong didn't wait for the Sunflower Ancestor to stop him, and kowtowed three times.

Sunflower Ancestor helped Zhao Dalong up, "Old man, this is tormenting me." ”

Zhao Dalong said with a smile: "Engong, please go to the inner hall to rest." ”

Sunflower Ancestor waved his hand and glanced at the sky, "It's almost dawn, no need." ”

Sunflower Ancestor resolutely refused, just staring at the sky, his face worried.

Zhao Dalong accompanied him and said with concern: "Engong, it seems that something is difficult?" You might as well tell one or two, I, Zhao Dalong, go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not hesitate. ”

Sunflower Ancestor said helplessly: "I came to Sui Capital to look for relatives, but unfortunately I found nothing, and I didn't have a 'body post'." ”

Zhao Dalong muttered: "Don't worry, the underworld is vast, and looking for relatives is not a matter of one or two days. ”

Zhao Dalong paused, "I can arrange one or two for this 'body post'." ”

Sunflower Ancestor nodded and motioned for Zhao Dalong to continue.

Zhao Dalong continued: "The old man has been based in the Sui capital for three hundred years, although he has no achievements, but the background is the most innocent, and it is also the easiest to handle the 'photo post'. ”

"Engong, if you don't mind, you can move your household registration into my Zhao family, but Engong really needs to change his surname."

Sunflower Ancestor stared at the sky with a hint of fish's belly white, "Surname?" I am already homeless, how can I get my ancestral surname? Where did it come up with the name? ”

Seeing this, Zhao Dalong hurriedly added: "Engong, don't care, if you don't want to, forget it." ”

Sunflower Ancestor turned his head to look at Zhao Dalong and said with a smile: "Old Zhao, if you are willing to accept me as a wanderer, what else can I be dissatisfied with, just follow this method." ”

Zhao Dalong smiled, "The old man still has to take advantage of Engong, and in the future, Engong will be my descendant, I call you 'Zhao Shilang', and you still need to call me grandpa." ”

"There are also Zhao Dalang, Erlang, and San Lang in the family, all of whom are the late lives of the descendants of the Zhao family in my family."

"And my."

Sunflower Ancestor arched his hand, "Thank you, Elder Zhao." ”
