Chapter 28: Going Dark
"Good!" Master Lan nodded, letting Ling Heng lie down on a hard bed in the room.
As soon as Ling Heng lay down, Master Lan said to Ye August, "Girl, come here!" ”
"How can I help?" Ye August was very skeptical of his ability.
Master Lan didn't say anything more, and took out a palm-sized copper incense burner from the drawer of the offering table, which was carved with fine patterns and glowed with a simple luster.
"You take this incense burner, in five minutes you light this incense inside, let me and Detective Ling smell it, remember, if neither of us can wake up within a minute, you will use this needle to stab me and Detective Ling in the heart!"
Master Lan said, and even took out a black-red needle from the drawer that was almost the thickness of a finger and was more than a hand's length, "This is a huishen needle soaked in black dog blood and ten years of cockscomb blood, you must take it well, don't dare to start when the time comes." ”
Ye August stared at the needle in Master Lan's hand in fear, and didn't dare to take it, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, so let's let your wife help." ”
"Take it! It's a little thing you can do easily! Otherwise, how would you be Detective Ling's assistant? ”
Master Lan couldn't help but say that he handed over the incense burner and needle to Ye August.
"What is the purpose of this incense?" Ye August had no choice but to take it and asked suspiciously.
"This is the rejuvenating incense, it is the one that calls us back from the underworld, like a lamp that shows us the way. After both of us close our eyes, you stare at the incense on the offering table, and when there is half a column of incense left, you start the timer, and after five minutes you give us the soul rejuvenating incense. ”
Ling Heng looked at her with disdain, his eyes full of doubts, "Can you remember?" If you can't, the souls of Master Lan and I will remain in the underworld forever. ”
"I can do it, I promise!" Ye August's nervous hands and feet were cold, but it didn't affect her determination.
"Alright, here we go!" After Master Lan finished speaking, he lay down next to Ling Heng.
Ye August looked at the two of them blankly, holding the incense burner and the rejuvenating needle tightly.
I saw that Master Lan directly grasped one of Ling Heng's hands, and he didn't know what to mutter, so he closed his eyes.
Ye August hurriedly looked at the incense on the offering table, and when the three incense sticks were only half a pillar left, he called the two of them softly, but they didn't respond.
Ye August immediately stared at his watch and waited intently.
Ling Heng and Master Lan seemed to be asleep, but their faces were much worse than when they were awake, and there was a sickly blue and yellow color.
Although Master Lan has a fox clan immortal family, he is also a cultivator, and he has been passed down by a master, so it is not difficult for him to go to the yin.
But it is somewhat dangerous for a living person to go to the underworld, and if you are not careful, you may stay in the underworld forever.
Master Lan held Ling Heng's hand tightly, and the souls of the two came to the underworld at the same time.
Master Lan cautiously advised, "It's here." Let's hurry up, although five minutes in the human world is worth five hours in the underworld, we can't delay the time, which affects the time to return to the soul. ”
Ling Heng said indifferently: "It's not the first time I've come to the underworld, I'm measured. ”
Master Lan was still worried and instructed again: "Then you can go now, I am waiting for you here." If something goes wrong, go back the way you come now, and don't delay! ”
Ling Heng waved his hand impatiently, "Got it!" You're older now, and you're a lot more verbose than you were when you were younger! ”
Looking at Ling Heng's back as he left proudly, Master Lan sighed helplessly.
Yes, how could Ling Heng worry about him, when he was still a stunned young man, Ling Heng could already be his teacher.
The underworld is cold and dark, and the place they came to is the entrance to the underworld, surrounded by ghostly miasma, ghostly mist, and yin attacking.
Ling Heng regarded the various dead souls wandering in the underworld as air, and he was even more fearless of the underworld patrolling back and forth in groups.
The ground was mixed with dead yellow sand, and when a gust of wind blew, it rolled up puffs of sand and dust, making it impossible to open your eyes.
Some strange-shaped beasts let out a penetrating howl from time to time, and some unlucky lonely souls instantly became the snacks of the beasts.
There are also those who have done evil deeds on earth who are brutally pushed and dragged by the underworld to the hell of torture.
At the entrance to the underworld, you can hear the screams of the punished ghosts from below the eighteen layers of hell.
The souls who have just arrived here, whether they are guilty or innocent, are trembling with fright when they hear these creepy screams, and some people regret that they did evil in the world, but it is too late to reflect and repent.
Ling Heng ignored everything and strode forward against the wind and sand that blew from time to time.
In fact, he didn't know where he was going to find clues about the ghost mother, but when he came to the underworld, he had to cross the river Styx anyway, and on the other side of the river there was a bone girl who played the harp, according to legend, she had been in the underworld for thousands of years and had been waiting for her sweetheart.
Although she never waited for the person she liked, she became a "jack of all trades" in the underworld because she had been in the underworld for a long time.
Ling Heng looked at the blood-red flowers on the other side, and was about to cross the river by boat, when someone suddenly gently patted him on the shoulder.
