Chapter 334: Dead End
I closed my eyes and let the people around me lift me up and back up.
I'm curious to know what happened to Wushuang and Thin Man. But my body was out of control, and I couldn't ask.
I want to go out of my body and look at it twice. However, my soul seemed to be locked in a dead lock, and I couldn't move either.
I dismissed my thoughts and silently thought, "It seems that the spell of the city god has worked." ”
A few of us personally made bait, and before tempting the city god, we had already explained it to the abbot. Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to feel someone break my mouth open and pour me a bowl of unpleasant decoction. Probably boiled peach roots.
I swallowed hard, and then felt a stream of heat begin to wrap around my soul as it swam through my limbs.
Mahogany is a magical thing. Whether it is a peachwood sword or a peachwood root, they are extremely close to the soul.
After a while, my soul was completely enveloped by this hot current. And then it cools down. Turned into shackles and trapped my soul inside.
I don't know how long it took. I felt like the shackles were alive, and they began to pull my soul slowly outward. I broke away from my body and crawled out of my shell.
Then I opened my eyes and found that it was already evening. My body lay quietly on the bed, it was now a corpse.
I stayed quietly in the corner, where the yang energy was very weak, and I could thin my soul to the maximum.
I looked around and found Wushuang, a thin man, a fat man, and a sloppy Taoist. The four of them were also brought back by the abbot. Moreover, their souls were also trapped in shackles, standing in the shadows, looking at me with a smile on their faces.
I opened my mouth and found myself able to speak. It seems that the soul of a cultivator is much stronger than that of a normal person, and the imprisonment caused by that spell is very limited.
I said to Wushuang, "It seems that everything is going well." ”
Wushuang nodded: "It's going well." I hope it's still too late to go to the underworld, and don't make any more big troubles. ”
I asked Wushuang: "How are you going to persuade Zhang Yuan?" ”
Wushuang said, "I always felt that it was a mistake to let him stay in the underworld. This time, I will unite with my mother to find a way to make him give up the position of Hades, return to the world, and live a quiet life. ”
I nodded and said, "That's good, too." ”
Then, there was a silence. Our bodies couldn't move, we couldn't go anywhere, we had to wait in the corner.
At this time, the fat man said: "Brother, I don't want to go, I'm afraid." ”
The thin man glanced at him and said lightly, "Are you scared now?" It seems a little late. ”
The fat man said with a sad face: "Brother, what are we doing in this troubled water?" It's none of our business. ”
The thin man shook his head: "This matter has a lot to do with the door." I've heard Xu You say it. Our master was exiled to the Ice Hell by Zhang Yuan. We've got to find a way to get people out. ”
Although the fat man was not very bold, he was still filial to the master, and when he heard this, he stopped talking.
The abbot put the bodies of several of us with my cousin. I bought incense, candles, and paper money, and burned it there. It looks like he's already treating us like dead.
Wushuang asked the thin man: "Have you made it clear to the abbot?" We'll be back when we're done. ”
The thin man nodded: "It's very clear." ”
Wushuang looked disbelieving: "How do I feel that he may bury us tomorrow?" ”
The sloppy Taoist priest also fanned the flames next to him: "That's it, at least we have to prepare a refrigerator, what if the corpse is broken on a hot day?" ”
The thin man said lightly: "Don't worry, the body of our cultivators is not so easy to deteriorate." ”
A few of us talked for a while, and watched the sun slowly go down. It was at that moment. Our bodies moved.
To be exact, it wasn't us who moved, it was the peachwood shackles that moved. I felt like I was a puppet with a string, being dragged and walking out the door.
Just as I was about to step out the door. Suddenly, I saw that the abbot looked in the direction of the door, as if he had a telepathy.
I was startled, the abbot could see me? The abbot's eyes were blazing, and he definitely saw me.
However, when I looked more closely, the abbot's gaze was distracted. It wasn't like they were looking at me, they were staring at the yard.
Confused, I walked outside. That glance just now, is it an illusion?
The five of us lined up in a long line, with the person in the back putting their hands on the shoulders of the person in front. It's like driving a train when I was a kid. It's just that on a gloomy night, walking on the street like this is really a little creepy.
We were pulled by an invisible force, and the direction we walked was indeed the City God Temple.
Gradually, there were more and more lonely ghosts on the road, sandwiching the five of us in the center. I grabbed the sloppy Taoist priest's shoulder, and behind me was an old lady in her last years. She was very short and almost lay on my back to grab my shoulders. It makes me feel terrified at every step I take.
The City God Temple has finally arrived. The city god quickly came and tied us up with reeds twisted into ropes.
Chenghuang returned to the temple, and a few of us stood outside the temple with rows of imps.
In the middle of the night, a bad man came.
This yin cha walked to the City God Temple, and said in a big voice: "City God, come out quickly." ”
The city god ran out and said politely: "It's all here, the little ghosts are here." ”
Yin Cha glanced at it and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are there only so few?" ”
Chenghuang clapped his hands again and again: "My lord, there are a lot of these." Is it easy for you to kill the living without knowing it? ”
Yin Cha waved his hand: "I don't care about you." I can tell you, the city gods in other places have caught far more imps than you. If you continue like this, if one day the top blames you, you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”
Chenghuang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I understand this, I'll figure it out now." ”
Yin Cha pulled the rope and pulled us away.
I thought to myself, "Looks like we guessed right." There is indeed a mastermind on the Chenghuang. I just don't know who the mastermind is. How can there be such a big force. With Zhang Yuan's shrewdness, hasn't he ever found out? ”
Yin cha led us gradually towards the river. Now it is certain that the mastermind really lives in the underworld.
We were dragged by the shadows and slowly walked to the bottom of the water.
Underneath the water, there is a passage that connects the two worlds of yin and yang. Only dead souls can pass through here. And those of us. Most of the yang life is not over, and the soul is forcibly hooked out of the body by the city god.
As we walked up this passage, we felt like our whole body was blazing. The road seems to be thousands and hundreds of degrees.
I gritted my teeth, not wanting to cry out in pain, because I knew that none of the other imps could speak.
After a few seconds, I suddenly noticed that the layer of mahogany shackles on the outside of my body was slowly thinning, as if it was about to be broken by the heat here.
Then, one of the imps let out a heart-rending shout. I looked back and saw that there was not much left of his shackles. In other words, he was free.
However, freedom comes at the price of pain. Endless pain. Then he fell to the ground, and his soul was gone.
I was dumbfounded by this scene, and I suddenly realized. Why can't the soul of the unfinished life go to the underworld? This path alone is not possible for ordinary living souls.
It seems that the bowl of soup that Chenghuang tricked us into drinking was not only to imprison us, but more importantly, to protect our souls.
With the step by step forward. The shackles on us are also thinning. Gradually, some of the little ghosts began to wander away.
When I saw the gate at the end of the road, there was only half of the imps left.
The imps want to escape, and no one wants to be burned in such a place. But they couldn't escape, so they could only endure it.
The shackles on me have completely fallen off. The heat wave hit my soul one after another. I started to feel big and dizzy, stumbling one step at a time. I knew that if I fell, my soul might cease to exist.
