Chapter 17: The Elixir of Life (2)
The waiters served the food one after another. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone began to eat. Su Xiaoman swallowed for a while, and then as if he remembered something, he suddenly stopped and asked Lu Chi tentatively: "Lu Chi, did you use a spell just now?" I see the petals falling from the ceiling! ”
Lu Chimen ate and just replied lightly: "Well, a small spell." ”
"Is this a spell that only celestials can learn? Can humans learn? ”
"I don't know, I haven't taught humans."
Qingzi saw Su Xiaoman's thoughts, and slapped his beloved apprentice hard, "Dead girl, have you been wronged by the teacher?" Planning to learn someone else's spells? ”
Su Xiaoman hurriedly complimented the master, "No, Master, your eighteen magic circles and spiritualism today are really powerful, but you haven't taught me anything." ”
"It's my master's fault! If you don't teach you as a teacher, there is naturally a reason to be a teacher! ”
Su Xiaoman pursed his lips and continued to eat.
When it was almost dawn, Zhang Xiao and his party returned to Zhang Xiao's home. The last scene they saw was her leaning on Chi Mu's arms. The pink petals were still slowly falling from the ceiling, stacked beside Chi Mu and his clothes, blending a faint beauty. Her faint gasps grew weaker and weaker, until at last her soul turned into green smoke and drifted into the lyre. Chi Mu's eyes stayed in his arms for a long time, and finally, his arms were full of pink petals.
"Lu Chi, if you let the neon dress sound as promised, and call out the clothes, then I will also tell you the way to the underworld." Chi Mu continued. "For every person who dies, the soul will be separated from the body, floated into the nearest river, followed by the river into the sea, floated in the sea, experienced cold, tumbled, and eventually all the souls will gather on the island of the Tomb of the Tomb. After arriving at Xuan Tomb Island, the soul stayed on Xuan Tomb Island, just like passing through the security check, one by one passing through a narrow alley, standing at the end of the alley, there was a boat to pick it up. Wearing a black cloak, the onicha holds a booklet to record the information of the people who board the ship one by one, and then when the soul boards the ship, the onicha will tell all the souls not to fall into the Black Sea, once they fall into the catastrophe, and then the soul will turn into a drop of water in the Black Sea. The demons kept shouting all the way, like singing, like chanting some kind of incantation. We drifted on the Black Sea for an unknown amount of time, and finally reached the underworld. As I remember, the Gates of the Underworld were red, and they were so tall that they seemed to lead straight to the sky, but I couldn't see them when I looked up. The door was always closed, and the ghost said that the door would never be opened, but the soul of anyone who recorded it in the underworld could pass through the door, but it would never turn back, and once it entered, it would be four hundred years. There was only one window open in the door, and a one-eyed old woman opened the window, and the oni handed in the list, and the one-eyed woman reached out to take the list, and I could clearly see that a large part of the flesh on her hands was rotten, and the joints showed white bones. The one-eyed woman checked it and returned the roster to the onicha, and one by one the spirits entered through the door. I remember that the one-eyed woman's voice was so low that I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, and she said that there was no name Chi Mu, and ordered the ghost to send me back, and then closed the window, and from then on I could not see anything in the door. After a while, the demons began to sit by the gate and rest, and then they drank wine, ate meat, and sang. I asked one of the oni when he was going to send me back. When I got closer to the ghost, I realized that under the black head was a pile of fleshless skeletons. The pile of bones turned to look at me, and said impatiently, 'There will be no boat today, only one boat a day, and the noise of the ship will disturb the old mother of the Black Sea and will be annihilated. Then I got on the boat out of fear and looked for a place to sit for a while. I couldn't help but look at the onicha, and the meat of the wine that had been eaten was exposed again along the white bones of my chest and flowed to the ground. I didn't dare to look at the horrible image, so I turned my head away. When I stepped out of the boat again, the ghosts were gone. I had no choice but to run back to the ship and wait for the next day, as they said, but there was no sky, no earth, no light, no time, only a black sea as far as the eye could see. Then I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I found that the ship was already floating on the Black Sea, and there were no ghosts or other spirits on board. I was terrified. The Black Sea began to roll violently, huge waves came in, and the ship kept swinging. I looked into the deep sea, as if I saw a fierce face, and I thought it was the Black Sea Mother. The waves overturned my boat, and I thought I was about to become a drop of water in the Black Sea, when seven souls jumped out of my body, and they dragged me together to keep my soul from being contaminated by the Black Sea. In this way, I crossed the Black Sea, and my soul once again floated on the sea and returned to the world, and those seven souls turned into the water of the Black Sea. When I came back to earth, it was ten years after I died. I found my body, it was intact and there was no decay, so I was resurrected, and I have lived incognito for a thousand years. ”
After listening to what Chi Mu said, Zhang Xiao was basically stupid, and he hugged Lu Chi to death. When Lu Chi reacted, he pulled his arm away.
Zhang Xiao turned around and wanted to hug the other side, but saw Su Xiaoman glaring at him. Embarrassed, he could only rub his hands to keep warm, and said, "This is too terrifying, isn't it?" ”
"When you were on the Black Sea, how could seven souls run out of your body?" Lu Chi asked.
"Remember the elixir I took? It was developed by Bian Que's apprentices Butterfly and Zi Tan. It was recorded on the cowhide that the refining of the elixir required the collection of the souls of seven people, and that these people must voluntarily surrender their souls and be loyal. The souls of these people were sealed into the body of a Hunter Eye Clan, and the blood of the descendants of the Eye Hunter Clan was drained, mixed with Snow Lotus, Deer Antler, Hash Membrane, Iron Chopsticks, Seeing Blood Fly, Nine Dragon Vine, Licorice and Poria Cocos, and refined into pills, which was the elixir of life. The world only knows that the elixir of life is a medicine, but they don't know how much it costs to refine it, and that is at the cost of destroying the soul. And in this world, who doesn't want to live well, and who would willingly give their souls? Collecting seven is easier said than done! ”
"What's that?" Zhang Xiao shouted: "You want to drain all my blood? This doesn't work, this doesn't work! ”
Chi Mu smiled, looked at Lu Chi and said, "It seems that you have found the descendant of the Hunter's Eye." ”
Qingzi sighed: "I can't imagine that the elixir that the generations of emperors want to get is actually refined by such cruel means!" Sometimes, humans are really more vicious than ghosts."
