I couldn't help but be taken aback when I heard that the old man in the third bed was also a ghost. But I thought about it, I followed Zhang Yuan to save Li Xiaoxing that day, and the conversation between him and Zhang Yuan. I couldn't help but nod.

Zhang Yuan said this, confirmed it, and then asked me: "Do you see anything in common?" "

"What do you have in common?"

I was inexplicably asked by Zhang Yuan, I thought about it, and then hesitated and said, "You two are ghosts, and you know Taoism?" "

Zhang Yuan clapped his hands: "That's right." We all know Taoism, and moreover, we are all ghosts. In the future, you will also become a ghost. "

As soon as I heard this, I didn't care about the pain all over my body, I was weak, and I sat up from the bed: "What? Am I going to be a ghost too? "

Master nodded: "All the cultivators of our sect will become ghosts in the end. "

I wasn't so excited because I was frustrated. Instead, I was shocked by the news, and now that I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to be a ghost. Maybe there is some special treatment that can live in the world for two more years.

So I couldn't help but smile: "If you are a ghost, you will be a ghost, it seems that it is nothing." "

I laughed, the abbot was about to cry, and patted his big bald scoop vigorously: "It's over, it's over, there are two ghosts living in the Great Holy Temple." If there is a quarrel one day, my soul will be taken away in minutes. "

Zhang Yuan looked at the two of us and said lightly: "People's longevity is destined in the dark. If I take you away early and the underworld doesn't accept you, you will become a lonely ghost, wandering in the world until the real time of death, and then you will be sent to the underworld. During this period, if you become a ghost, don't I feel uncomfortable myself? So don't worry, we won't kill you. "

Zhang Yuan explained. The abbot put his mind at ease, sighed and said, "Master Zhang, if you have time, you can go to the underworld to help me take a look, I still have a few years to live." "

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "What do you think I am?" It's a ghost to say that it sounds good, but in fact, it's just a ghost slave. "

These words can't help but chill my heart: "Ghost slave? Master, our status is so low? "

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Xu You, it's not a good thing to be a ghost, no matter what personal matters you have, as soon as the order from the underworld arrives, you will have to do it immediately." "

I remembered that Zhang Yuan often suddenly felt sleepy before, and then slept until dawn, so I couldn't help but nod.

Who knew Lu Dao, Zhang Yuan asked again: "Do you know what the old man in the third bed of Lu Dao is hiding in Tibet, so afraid of death?" "

I shook my head: "I don't know." "

Zhang Yuan said slowly: "Because there is a legend that any Taoist who has become a ghost will inevitably enter the soul transformation pool after death, and his soul will be scattered, and he will not be reincarnated forever. "

Zhang Yuan's words were plain, but my heart turned upside down, and I was almost about to cry on the spot.

Zhang Yuan still said casually: "Although this matter has not been confirmed, however, everyone says so, and there have been several seniors with advanced Dao skills who tried to use Dao to find dead friends, but they all failed. Judging by all the evidence, this legend is true. "

I asked in a daze, "When will I become a ghost?" "

Zhang Yuan said: "Wait until I die." I know that all the Taoists who know Taoism are ghosts, and they only accept one apprentice in their lifetime. Because whoever joins this sect will become a ghost after the death of the master. Everyone is human, as long as the inheritance is continued. I don't want to harm people too much. "

I suddenly yelled, jumped up from the bed, and grabbed him by the collar: "Are you paralyzed?" Zhilu said that this thing hurts people, and let me apprentice, aren't you harming me? "

Zhang Yuan showed a trace of guilt on his face: "Xu You, you are a good boy." I do this for a reason. I had no choice but to do so. "

I smiled wryly and nodded: "Last resort? Okay, okay, tell me, what do you have to do? "

Zhang Yuan sighed: "This matter is related to thousands of years of inheritance, the master passed on to the apprentice, and the apprentice became the master again, thousands of years, some people died, so the inheritance was broken, and his Taoism became a master." This ability of mine was passed down by my master, and I couldn't bear to let it be broken, so I wanted to find someone to inherit it. "

I said coldly, "You can write it on a book and indicate on the front page that if you want to practice this skill, you must first become a ghost slave." Explain the harm clearly, and whoever loves it will practice. It's not bad for everyone, and it won't break your legacy. But now? You tricked me here. "

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, "Because of the second reason, I had to lie to you. Let you be my apprentice. "

I sneered: "Is there a second reason? "

Zhang Yuan nodded: "The second reason is that my daughter is missing, and I can't find her." I've been lying in a coffin for so long, knowing full well that I'm alone and I need help. "

I laughed angrily: "If you want to find someone, you can tell me directly." You cured my copper coin, let me help you post a missing person notice, and let me help you contact the TV station. Why are you doing this to me? Your daughter's life is life, but mine is not? This paralyzed soul is scattered. "

I scolded here repeatedly, and Zhang Yuan was speechless, and his face was full of shame. A strong sigh.

After a while, he finally relented and said to me: "Xu You, that, it may not be gone. Even if there really is a soul pool, I have now thought of a way to save us all. "

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and asked, "Say it quickly, say it quickly, what is the solution?" "

The master hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter is very important, so you must not leak it." "

I urged, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." "

Originally, Zhang Yuan was domineering and assertive, and there was a domineering momentum everywhere. However, now I have no temper at all. I had to stare at it again and again.

Then he said slowly: "That is to kill the underworld." Drive down the Hades, and our ghost slave identity will definitely be removed. "

I gasped: "Kill the Immortal? Master, do you think you are the Monkey King making trouble in the Heavenly Palace? Do you have such a great ability? "

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "Of course I don't, but as long as we unite the cultivators of the world and everyone attack together, we may not be able to succeed." "

A little hope gradually came to my heart, and I asked, "So, how many people have you united?" "

Zhang Yuan's expression was a little embarrassed: "At present, there are only two of us. "

I was deflated and lay down on the bed, not even wanting to move.

Zhang Yuan persuaded: "Xu You, don't be discouraged. Didn't I just come out of the coffin? It's a long time coming. "

I snorted coldly and didn't answer.

Zhang Yuan thought about it for a while, hesitated and said to me: "Xu You, otherwise, you will help me rescue my daughter first?" In that case, there are three of us. She is my daughter, destined to be a ghost slave from birth. "

I looked up at him and asked, "Master, why will your daughter be caught in the coffin?" "

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "You ask me, who do I ask?" But when you say that, I suddenly have a feeling that the tragedy that happened to my family back then was related to my daughter. "

I sighed and sat up from the bed, "Master, you really made me miserable. "

When Zhang Yuan heard me say this, he couldn't help laughing, he was a smart person, and he could see that I had forgiven him.

What's more, the abbot has been helping on the sidelines: "Xu You, Master Zhang is not a bad person. You had a copper coin, and if he hadn't saved you, you would have died. Life for life, and now there is a glimmer of life, so don't fight. "

For the abbot's words, Zhang Yuan was naturally grateful. However, the abbot added another sentence, and wiped out all this favorability. The abbot said, "Master Zhang, in the future, you will attack the underworld and tick my name." Let me live a few more years"

I waved my hand and told the abbot to stop. Then I asked Zhang Yuan with a wry smile: "Master, let's not hide it, do you know what to do?" Tell me quickly. Also, where did your daughter come from? "

Zhang Yuan found a stool and sat down: "You ask my daughter where she came from, I really don't know." She was so young at the time that I wouldn't have been able to find her if it weren't for this peachwood sword. As for the rest, where do we start? "

I thought for a while: "For example, why do we have to be ghost slaves?" "

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "This matter is a long story. After years of inquiry, it is estimated that the origin of this incident was in the Han Dynasty. "

I leaned back on the bed: "Han Dynasty? "

Zhang Yuan nodded: "No one knows the exact age of Lu Dao, but as far as I know, it starts from the Han Dynasty." The number of true monasticians has decreased dramatically. So I'm guessing it should have started at that time. "

I couldn't help but interject and ask, "What happened in the Han Dynasty?" "

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "In the Han Dynasty, there was a monk genius. The Tao is profound, and it is simply a rare figure in a thousand years. At that time, thousands of Taoists who followed him worshiped as their ancestors. This prodigy is not only powerful, but also very filial. In search of his mother, he decided to go to the underworld. "

I wondered, "He's going to Hades too?" "

Zhang Yuan nodded: "But how can the underworld be so easy to go?" The prodigy tried several times, but never succeeded, so in a fit of rage, he decided to lead the Taoist to break in. Those Taoists were also moved by his filial piety, and they all swore to follow him. "

I was dumbfounded, thousands of Taoist priests attacking the underworld? This is something that can only happen in mythology. I nervously asked Zhang Yuan, "Did he succeed?" "

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "They did attack the underworld. But all Taoists overestimate themselves. The strength of heaven and earth is simply not something they can compete with. Soon after the wizard entered, he disappeared. And the rest of the Taoists, ninety percent of them died. Even those who survived by luck found out decades later that they had become ghost slaves. "
