In this way, the four of them took their flashlights and shone them everywhere, and halfway through, the master stopped us from moving forward, and when I asked him what was wrong, he put his index finger on his mouth and made a silent gesture.

"Listen, is there something being muttered in the distance, and there is the sound of copper coins striking?"

When Jinghui and I heard this, we listened carefully, and sure enough, we really heard a ding-dong knocking sound from behind a mountain not far away, but I felt that this sound should not only come from copper coins, there should be some metal supplies, could it be that someone is striking iron in the middle of the night in this mountain?

I can't think of a reason, but the master took us carefully up the mountain, and when we came to the top, it was just below a tree, and when we looked down the mountain, we found a woman tied to the top of a pillar, and her legs had been severed, and countless blood kept flowing to the ground, and she was wearing no clothes on her body, and she was wearing a strange mask on her head!

The place appeared to be an altar, with a white garment on each of the four sides of the high platform in the middle, each with a grunt bone, and the altar was several meters high, on which some savages stood and shouted and cried incessantly.

The master took a serious look at it and told us: It was a mask, as if it was worn only when it was used as a sacrifice!

If so, is this woman in front of you a sacrifice to these people? We looked at them, and in the middle of them a tall man with the head of a bull held up a torch and lit it on the wood under the woman.

Immediately the man burned, this scene was extremely terrifying, the green smoke mixed with the smell of human flesh being burned rose into the dark night sky, and the surrounding savages wearing their own masks cheered at this moment, as if it was very happy to see such a terrible scene!

Their faces were fierce, extremely terrifying, and each of them was striking with a round object in their hands, and the sound of tinkling metal came from here.

At this moment, I don't know who accidentally stepped on a piece of wood, and made a sound, and those wild people suddenly found us, and we all immediately dodged and ran down the mountain, but the master pulled me at this moment and said: If you can't run away, we will be here!

I don't know why he said that, but at that moment my feet felt like they had been injected with so much lead that I couldn't move at all.

Chapter 148: The Temporary Residence of the Souls of the Old Drowned

The masked men looked extremely heavy, but they were very fast to walk, and we couldn't move at the moment, so they quickly caught up with us.

I turned my head to ask the master what to do with the current situation, and before the guy could speak, there were already a few men in the mask who pressed his whole body to the ground and kneaded him, I think he must not have brought us here on purpose, because the wild men did not let him go when they saw him.

found that there was a problem Jing Hui, this buddy, was in danger, but he was trying to exert his strength, and there was a buddy behind him who hit him on the shoulder with a wooden stick, even if Jing Hui was strong, he couldn't resist this sudden sneak attack, you must know that Guan Yunchang was also very powerful, flooded the Seventh Army, and occupied Wancheng, and almost hit Xuchang, and in the end he was not injured by a dark arrow outside Maicheng and was captured by Ma Zhongsheng of Wu State.

Now Jinghui was knocked unconscious, the whole person fell to the ground and couldn't get up, he was chained by several savages, and he was about to be taken away, and I also saw clearly the person who attacked him just now, isn't this person Ye Jian'an?

Seeing this situation, needless to say, we all know that he tricked us to come, this guy couldn't tell us anything about his parents missing here at first, it seems that there is a problem, if this is the case, he should be very afraid to come here, why did he bring us here?

The only conclusion is that the story that Ye Jian'an told us at the beginning was fake, he just wanted to increase the master's curiosity about the ghost, and the cruise ship was lost at that time, so he had to let the ship come to this isolated island.

Now that the master has been taken away, Jinghui doesn't know where he was escorted, and the fate that awaits me is not much better, I was picked up by several men in the shape of a mask, and brought all the way to the hill, where many bonfires are arranged everywhere, all of which are camps for wild people, the area is very vast, and you can see dense potholes everywhere.

I noticed a lot of men in the shape of a mask sitting here, as if they were cooking something to eat, each with wine in their hands and salted fat, I thought they would put me down when they lifted me to a certain position, but I didn't think that after hearing them say a few words that I don't know, they sent me to a campfire!!

Are they going to burn me as food and eat me? My limbs are now bound by hard ropes, and I can't break free at all, and I can't even move.

It is enough to see that Jinghui and I and the buy a master are not opponents, and it is enough to see that these men in the mask are so powerful, I think they are probably also arrested, but I can't see any trace of them in the team.

Those tourists grabbed the man in the shape of a mask, and they were all sent to the bonfire one by one to be grilled as food, everyone was struggling with me, I felt extremely desperate in the fright, I haven't felt like this for a long time, am I really going to die?

I heard that the soul of the burned person will not rest in peace, I don't want to become a wronged soul after death, the evil spirit avoidance charm on my chest that has not reacted for a long time actually shook violently at this time, and it also emitted an unprecedented bright light, at that moment several savages immediately helped me out, put me on the ground in fear, and then a few even bowed down respectfully to me.

I was a little confused when I saw the sudden change, sitting cross-legged in front of the savages, I couldn't understand what they were muttering, but I knew they were talking anyway.

I said to them, "What do you mean, didn't you just burn me?" Now what's going on again?

The eyes of those wild people all looked at the evil charm on my chest, and they didn't speak, I don't think these guys are afraid of this charm of mine, right?

This peace charm was given to me by the master, and I didn't expect that it would save my life again today, so I said to those savages: Since you don't kill me, can you let the rest of the people go?

The savages looked at each other when I said this, as if a foreigner had traveled to China and had no understanding of the language and customs.

I saw that they really didn't understand, so I started to sign in front of them, pointing at myself for a long time, and then at the campfire and the other people who were being burned.

At this moment, a relatively thin wild man nodded, spit out some smoke from his mouth, and after not knowing what to say to a wild man next to him, he walked to the bonfire on which I had seen someone burned for food, and took an iron fork from the ground that resembled a barbecue and stabbed it into the body of the man who had just been burned to death.

Then he came up to me with the carrion and handed it to me, and said something to me, and all the wild men shouted, feeling very excited, I really admired them, they didn't mean that I was going to eat the human flesh they made, did they?

Actually, I'm not like this at all, I just want them to let them go, there's no way, I think they can't understand what I'm saying anyway, and now I know that they are afraid of the evil charm on my chest, I turned around and planned to run away without knowing anything, I didn't think about running a few steps, and I was immediately surrounded by those men in the shape of masks.

Now they didn't dare to lift me up and send me to the campfire, but they didn't dare to approach me, I wanted to communicate with them in my own words, that is, fluent Mandarin, and I didn't want to play the piano to the cow after a few words.

Because it was difficult to communicate, I was at a loss for a while, but at this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I remembered that I knew Yin language, so I said to them: I am a great Yin official from the underworld, and my position is well known in the entire Demon Tooth Province.

Among those savages, there were few reactions, but in one of the savages who looked like women, she spoke to the other savages, and this time I understood what they meant: this person is indeed a messenger from the underworld, and this time we have been saved, and if there is any request, I will immediately say yes to him.

The position of the Great Yin Official was done by me with the master in the past, and I didn't say much about it, but now I will briefly mention it, that day, I asked the master, what is a talent, do you want to be like you, eliminate demons and subdue demons?

The master said that it is very easy to do this, your grandfather asked me to watch you when he was dying, don't let you have an accident, don't let us go to the end of the yin, if you have descendants in the future, you will have to teach this kind of Taoism, do you understand? If you can do this, your grandfather's spirit in heaven can rest in peace.

I said that this is the case, and I really didn't think about this kind of thing in the first place. But seriously, they all went to my descendants, I don't know when this ideal will be realized, and now the objects around me are ghosts, yin spirits, I don't know if they can give birth, probably then there will be a ghost fetus, right?

Don't think about these questions for the time being, now that the master's soul is here, I asked him: Then how will I take you in the future?

"Don't worry! Apprentice, since I am dead now, because of my merits in the world before, now I have obtained a position as a Yin Cao official in the underworld, if you want, you can also go to the demon tooth province of the underworld to find me at any time, I have reported to the Hades, you are my real yin walker in the world. ”

To put it bluntly, the so-called Yin walker should be a person who can enter the underworld at any time, usually responsible for dealing with some funeral matters, helping to exorcise ghosts when it is serious, or going to the underworld to do errands.

Today is also to really understand the meaning of this yin person.

Depend on! Isn't that a prelude to the first cut? I don't know anything, but I don't know what's going on when I become a yindoer.

Seeing my confused and frightened expression, the master hurriedly smiled and said, "Big apprentice, it's okay, this errand is easy to do?" Didn't you let go of many ghosts? If you become a real Yin Walker, it will be much easier to do things, because you can send your men to help arrest those Yin Spirits.

Am I serious? So what should you pay attention to after becoming a real yin walker? Is there anything you can't do?

"Of course, the first one is that every time you get to 15, you have to come and be on duty, 2 hours a day."

Tianrui, who had not spoken at the moment, suddenly interjected: Okay, that waste firewood, you should take him to the underworld to have a look! If you don't take him there for a day, it's in vain to say so much!

"Do you think I don't know about it? Miscellaneous Rui! Don't think you'll be able to do anything if you save me, if it weren't for Lord Demon Fang persecuting you, you wouldn't have come. ”

"Then you can go back now! Hi Chai, do you think I'm going to be afraid of the demon fangs? Hehe, that guy is not my match yet! ”

Then Tianrui and the master said a miscellaneous, I scolded a waste of firewood, these two guys are not small, and they can still scold in front of me, I said that Tianrui is not as old as the master, and he should let the master go, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.

After the two of them finished scolding, Tianrui left with a straight face, the master asked me to ignore him, I said yes, and then he asked me to stand up, and he would take me to Difu Yin City later, I was curious about what specific place I didn't need to go to Difu? How can it be done on the roof?

The master said no, handed me a wooden sign and said: With this Yin Cao official order, you can go to the underworld at any time.

it! What a terrific look? With it, can't I travel to the underworld at any time? But this place in the underworld is not so easy to treat, if there are no special circumstances, the ghost will like to stay here!?

Before I could finish thinking about it, the master gave me the token, and then I held up another piece, and I didn't know that at that moment, I was actually taken into an ethereal, dark world.

Walking underneath a banner, we saw a place with two big words written in black letters: Yin City.

Entering the Yin Market, there is smoke everywhere, there are low ancient buildings set up here in the distance, there are many people on the left and right who are setting up stalls to buy things, and they can't see what they are selling, but from time to time there will be ghosts to greet them.

At this time, not far away, there were many ghosts wearing shrouds who were carried by the ghosts, and their movements were relatively slow.

I followed the master past a small shop similar to an inn, and the master stopped and told me: One of the people inside has not paid me back the 109,070 coins that I have left before, apprentice, you can wait for me here, I will come out soon.

Well, this master remembers the money, 109,007 coins are probably not very much, I remember in the underworld, this amount is actually very small, because the banknotes in the underworld are not valuable.
