The mountains and rivers are exhausted, there is no road, the willows and flowers are bright and another village, people are in a desperate situation, and there are many bad things, which seem to be bad things but good things.

When I entered the "Yin Yang Palace", I saw Xiang Shan dressed neatly, lying straight on the Taiji Stone, as if he was asleep, but his face was pale, his whole body was cold and stiff, and he had long been out of breath.

Xiangshan's body is sprinkled with flower petals, and the shape looks like a rose, but the color is made of a mixture of colorful colors, without fragrance and taste.

When you look closely, the petals on Xiang Shan's body are indescribably charming, revealing a trace of weirdness.

Xia Yulong didn't care about anything else, he quietly looked at Xiang Shan's body, there was indescribable grief in his heart, he was silent for a long time, and he could only accept the facts in front of him.

If Yao Banxian didn't tell him the truth and suddenly brought him to see Xiang Shan, he would definitely cry unprepared, but at this moment, Xia Yulong's mood was calm, but it was also complicated and sad.

You know, among the eight uncles, Uncle Xiangshan is the most attentive to Xia Yulong, when he was a child, he and his grandfather came to the Qiankun faction to play, and Xiangshan was the first to take him into his arms, accompany him to catch crickets, and accompany him to go down to the river to fish.

He learns to swim in the river and protects him with both hands, however, Xian'er always giggles and throws stones on the shore to mess with them.

Xiang Shan will also keep it for Xia Yulong, and the relationship between Xiang Shan and Xia Yulong is not so much an uncle and nephew, but a father and son or brother.

Thinking of the past scene, Xia Yulong's eyes were full of tears, he knelt on the ground, and choked up: "Uncle Shi, Yulong has come to see you, Yulong is late......" As he spoke, he kowtowed a few more times, and blood oozed from his forehead.

Yao Banxian helped Xia Yulong up and said, "Your uncle will understand you." ”

Xia Yulong looked at the petals on Xiang Shan's body and asked curiously, "Grandpa Yao, why is Uncle Yao sprinkled with so many petals, is he treating him?" ”

Yao Banxian shook his head and sighed: "Of course, this petal can't save his life, he can only protect his body and prevent his body from rotting, this is called the true flower of the spirit, it blooms in Mao, that is, when the day is about to dawn, at this time the yin energy is about to recede, but the momentum is still strong, and the yang energy has reached the extreme of the tolerance of the yin energy, and the yin and yang through the mutualization, produced a kind of pure yin and yang qi, and suddenly bloomed such a gorgeous flower near the ghost gate, and after half an hour, all disappeared again." ”

Xia Yulong exclaimed: "This flower is so peculiar, if I had known earlier, my grandfather's body would have been preserved." ”

Yao Banxian said: "We didn't know about it before, but we have to thank the two elders of Yin and Yang......"

Yao Banxian told Xia Yulong about the two elders of Yin and Yang.

That night, Xiang Shan had already lost his breath, and the entire Qiankun Sect was silent in great grief.

Zhang Xian prescribed a secret recipe for healing Xiangshan, and everyone rushed according to the secret recipe, some went up the mountain to collect herbs, and some were cleaning Xiangshan's wounds.

Yao Banxian and Ji En paced back and forth in the hall, he took the secret recipe and looked at it, I don't know what to do, the key points mentioned in the secret recipe made him very embarrassed, just when he was at a loss, the feeling stick in his hand trembled slightly, so he looked at the point of the spirit stick.

Two men in black robes walked in from outside the door, one an old woman and the other an old man, the old woman still holding a small bag in her hand, and when she looked closely, the two of them were like shadows floating in the air.

The old woman's face was kind, she stepped forward and claimed to be the two elders of Yin and Yang, the old man had a strange face, and he also rushed forward to speak, and he said that they had come specially to get the soul of the mountain.

Ji En was quite angry when he heard this, so he replied to their words, and said, My Qiankun faction can't tolerate you to do anything wrong.

The old woman smiled politely at Ji'en, and then turned to blame the old man for being rude and not knowing how to be polite.

The old woman counted the old man down, then turned her head again and said with a smile: "Your apprentice's yang life is over, we must bring back his soul and let heaven and earth judge, so that he can be reincarnated as a man as soon as possible, lest he become a lonely ghost and a wild ghost." ”

I heard that it is the "Yin and Yang Two Elders", Yao Banxian did not dare to slack off, his knowledge is much more extensive than Ji En, in the "Tianlan Ancient Classics" book on the "Yin and Yang Two Elders" is recorded, "Yin and Yang Two Elders" was born in the first year of the opening of the sky, that is, the beginning of the birth of all things, I don't know how to go back to what year and month, and now I have to see the true face of the two elders, it is really a blessing to live three lives.

Yao Banxian knelt on the ground, acting surprised and delighted, he kowtowed a few times, and said in a trembling voice: "It turned out that the second elder came to the cold house, and he missed the distance, and asked the second elder to forgive his sins, I remember that Brother En's knowledge is shallow, and he doesn't know how to count etiquette, please don't go to my heart......

As he spoke, Yao Banxian pulled Ji En's trouser leg and motioned him to kneel down to the second elder, Ji En knew that the person who came to the door was not someone to be messed with, and he hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

The two elders of Yin and Yang smiled: "Those who don't know are not to blame, you don't have to go to your heart." ”

Yao Banxian thought to himself, wouldn't it be a great pleasure if he could learn some skills from the "Yin and Yang Elders", and if they didn't agree, they would exchange Xiangshan's soul for it......

Thinking of this, Yao Banxian's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, he really couldn't believe that for his own selfish interests, he would have such a dirty idea?

Yao Banxian greeted the smiling face and said, "Please ask the second elder to go to the hall to rest for a while, drink a cup of tea, let us catch the wind and wash the dust for the second elder, as for the soul of the disciple to the mountain, how about it?" ”

The old woman smiled and said, "Half Immortal, don't we know what medicine you sell in your gourd?" ”

The old man answered, "You want to ......."

"What do you think?" The old woman glared at the old man, "At this time, I want to save some face for the half-immortal, and I am also a cultivator, so why bother to explain the words and let him go to enlightenment by himself." ”

"Yes......"

The old man smiled.

Yao Banxian looked embarrassed, and secretly sighed, the two elders of yin and yang are really extraordinary, and they can actually see the impurities in other people's hearts, he smiled unnaturally: "Let the second elder laugh, the second elder, please!" He took the initiative to make way out and motioned for the two elders of Yin and Yang to enter the hall to drink tea.

The old woman shook her head and said, "Let me ask you, if you don't let us take away the soul of your disciple to the mountain, if you don't take him away, he will really become a lonely ghost." ”

Yao Banxian's face sank, he didn't know how to answer, he thought for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Can I still save the life of Xiangshan in vain, please ask the second elder for guidance?" ”

The old man smiled: "Of course, your apprentice's life can't be saved, but there is another way......"

Before the old man could continue, the old woman preemptively said: "You have talked too much, this is the fate of his disciples, how can we interfere with him if we are not related to him, if everything is like this, is it not against the way of heaven?" ”

Listening to the words of the "Yin and Yang Elders", Yao Banxian suddenly felt that the words of the Second Elder were reminding him, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

"Please come with me to the pavilion......"

Yao Banxian was cheeky and led the "Yin and Yang Elders" to the Bagua Pavilion in the courtyard to sit down, and Ji En served the best tea.

With a plop, Yao Banxian knelt down in front of the "Yin and Yang Elders" and said reverently: "Xiaoxian thinks that he is in love with the second elder, and I implore the second elder to accept Xiaoxian as an apprentice, and Xiaoxian kowtows to the two masters!" As he spoke, he knocked his head a few times.

"Poof......

The old man squirted out the tea that had been in his mouth, amazed and mocked, "What...... It's up to you, you want to be our apprentice, your qualifications are too poor, your mind is not right, you are not worthy of being our apprentice, so you should be exempted. ”

The old woman sighed, looked at the old man and said, "It's all so old, don't be surprised!" ”

The old woman turned her head, looked at Yao Banxian and asked, "Banxian's Taoism is already very good, why did you come up with the idea of worshipping my second elder as a teacher?" ”

Yao Banxian snorted and made an impassioned speech with a handful of tears:

Half immortal since childhood, the heart of all beings, see the pity of things, since childhood familiar with all kinds of strange books, dream of one day the Tao is exquisite, Pudu sentient beings, but the half immortal understanding is dull, so far the Tao is rough and shallow, received eight love disciples, created my Qiankun faction, eight love disciples have good thoughts, obey the teacher's orders, quite cultivated, the rivers and lakes people call the gentleman eight swords, but the half immortal skills are not good, I am afraid that the children of the people will be mistaken, delaying the future of the apprentices, and now the Central Plains is in turmoil in the west, the people are not living, the dragon ancient town died of death, fled the escape, has become a ghost cave, I wanted to drive away the west wind and restore peace to the people, but I encountered the flame unicorn on the sacred mountain of Eminem in vain......

Speaking of this, Yao Banxian was so emotional that he cried loudly and continued: "If the second elder refuses to accept the half-immortal as an apprentice, please also ask the second elder not to take away the soul of the apprentice Xiangshan, please rest assured, we will save Xiangshan's life and will not let him become a lonely ghost." ”

Ji En also knelt down and begged: "Please also ask the second elder to be gracious, now is the time to employ people, if the gentleman's eight swords are dismantled, the West Wind people are even more fearless, the West Wind people are cruel and cruel, this Dragon Ancient Town is the scourge of them, and please ask the second old man to learn from it." ”

Yao Banxian's true feelings and words touched the old woman's heart.

Under the dim oil lamp, I saw the old woman's solemn face, she sighed, pinched her fingers, and said a few words silently.

After a while, the old woman looked at Yao Banxian and said: "You guys get up first, this is a matter of your Yang Realm, we shouldn't interfere, I promise you not to take away the soul of your disciple to the mountain, but let's talk about it after the apprenticeship!" ”

The old man said kindly: "I'll just say, your qualifications are too poor, hehe, it's not just me who thinks." ”

Although Yao Banxian was quite disappointed, he was still overjoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the kindness of the second elder, thank you for the kindness of the second elder." ”

The old woman said: "Thank you for no need, I'm speaking for Tianli." ”

The old woman told Yao Banxian to close her eyes, face the direction of Yin Mountain, sit cross-legged in the pavilion, she chanted words in her mouth, and pointed to Yao Banxian's Yin Hall.

I saw a stream of pure yang qi overflowing from the old woman's index finger and melting into Yao Banxian's body.

When Yao Banxian opened his eyes, a golden light flashed in his eyeballs, and he vaguely saw a stone gate carved with dragons and phoenixes standing tall in the smoke at the foot of Yin Mountain.

The moss on the stone door is bronze-colored, extremely ancient, there are several big characters written on the beam of the stone door "ghost door pass", there are two lazy lion-faced Pixiu lying on the left and right sides of the door, the left is male, the right is female, Pixiu opens his eyes and fans his ears from time to time.

The old woman asked Yao Banxian, "What did you see?" ”

Yao Banxian was a little at a loss, and replied in a trembling voice: "Yes...... Be...... It's a ghost gate. ”

The two elders of Yin and Yang looked at each other and nodded.

The old man preemptively said: "That's right, if you are not a child, you will not be able to see the ghost gate, fortunately you have the body of a child, you are like a jade for the cultivation of the Tao, it is not easy, hehe, let me check your body!" ”

"Hmph, disrespectful for the old!"

The old woman glanced at the old man, and shouted sharply: "It's getting more and more presumptuous, how did the yin and yang worlds give birth to such a shameless and brazen old thing as you!" ”

The old man retracted the hand that was stretched out to Yao Banxian boringly, and said with a red face: "Hehe, teasing you, teasing you, how could my Yin and Yang two elders do such a despicable thing!" ”

The old woman looked at Yao Banxian and Ji En and said: "Every day, you go to the vicinity of the Ghost Gate Pass to pick the Soul Spirit True Flower, this flower can protect Xiang Shan's body, if there is no Spirit True Flower to protect the body, Xiang Shan's body will rot, if he really becomes a lonely ghost, we really have to take back his soul." ”

Yao Banxian and Jien were surprised and delighted, and nodded vigorously and said, "Yes......"

The old woman said with a straight face: "You all listen well, when the ghost door is closed, the lonely ghost hears the rooster crowing, and will flee to the ghost gate, no matter what happens, don't step into the gate half a step, otherwise you will never come back, I don't know what year and month you can be reincarnated." ”

The old woman paused for a moment, and then said: "Also, that Pixiu guards outside the gate to prevent the demons and monsters of the netherworld from escaping, although they are Rui beasts, they are brutal by nature and are very easy to provoke, you must not provoke them, otherwise the yin and yang worlds will be in chaos, and you will become sinners." When the Soul True Flower fades, you take the petals back and sprinkle them on Xiang Shan's body, after half a month, the Soul True Flower will no longer protect the body, it will turn into a cold light, and you need to pick the petals again and sprinkle it on its body. ”

Yao Banxian said with gratitude: "Thank you for the guidance of the second elder, the demi-immortal still has something to ask for, I don't know the second elder?" ”

The old man said angrily: "Look at you, I'll just say, you half-immortal is really a little greedy, you have to think about it, you have to think about it, we are already very good at helping you with this, are you still not satisfied?" ”

The old woman sighed, looked at the old man and said, "You have a lot of words, can't we finish listening to the half-immortal?" ”

Yao Banxian arched his hand and said: "My disciple Xiangshan was injured by the flame unicorn, there is no good medicine in the world to heal, we have done our best, the second elder has the ability to reach the sky, and please ask the second elder to show mercy and grace to save my disciple Xiangshan's life, I will be grateful." ”

Ji En also answered: "The Flame Qilin is extremely ferocious, its claws pierce Xiang Shan's body thoroughly, with our strength alone, I'm afraid that ten or eight years will not save Xiang Shan's life......"

As he spoke, the two knelt on their knees and kowtowed to the two elders of Yin and Yang.

The old woman's face was heavy, she pinched her fingers, thought for a moment, and said: "You don't have to worry, you will have someone to save you from the mountain, if we take care of everything, wouldn't it really violate the principles of heaven?" ”

The old woman called Yao Banxian out of the pavilion and muttered a few words in his ear.

I saw Yao Banxian nodding his head violently, what did he say, Ji En definitely didn't hear it, Ji En was not a multi-minded person, and he didn't ask Yao Banxian afterwards.

Before leaving, the old woman took out a small Qiankun bag from the Qiankun bag in her hand, handed it to Yao Banxian, and said: "Take it, Xiangshan's soul is in this Qiankun bag, keep it, and when the time comes, hand over the bag to the destined person." ”

The old woman sighed, and said: "The mountains and rivers are exhausted, there is no road, the willows and flowers are bright and another village, there are many bad things in desperate situations, and it seems to be bad things but good things......"

Yao Banxian and Ji En sent the "Yin and Yang Elders" to the door.

The old woman turned around and said with a smile: "Just send it here, you also go back and rest early, you have already planned for the matter of going to the mountain." ”

The old man couldn't help but say a few words: "I said, we have taught you some skills, and you have to do something for us to compensate for it......"

Yao Banxian's eyes lit up, it was a great honor to be able to do things for the two elders of Yin and Yang, and he hurriedly responded: "Please also ask the second elder to command!" ”

The old man smiled, and said: "These people who died in Longgu Town have all been collected by us, and they can be buried in the ground, although you have buried many people's corpses before, accumulating yin virtue, but there are still some corpses that you have not found, you will bury them all after you find them tomorrow, so as not to be bitten by wild dogs and wild wolves, not much, only twenty or thirty people." ”

Yao Banxian gave up his hand to "yes", and said without hesitation: "Apprentices obey the teacher's orders!" ”

"Yo he......"

The old man smiled, "When did we become your master, I said that your qualifications are too poor and your appearance is too ugly, and you are not worthy of being our apprentice, isn't it just to teach you a little skill, there is no need to call Master, you are doing things for us is even, we don't owe each other, Master will be exempted, exempted." ”

Listening to the old man's words, Yao Banxian smiled cheekily: "My Qiankun faction is a person who is grateful for the picture, as long as it is a person who teaches the skills of the half-immortal, even if it is a little, the half-immortal will respect him as a master, not to mention the well-known second elder, the half-immortal has formed an indissoluble bond with the second elder, and the one who can use the half-immortal in the future can use my Qiankun faction, please let the two masters tell me." ”

The old woman nodded and smiled, and said: "We have received the intention of the half-immortal, everything between heaven and earth is spiritual, and people are the darlings of heaven and earth, whatever you want to call it, remember, in the future, you will use the skills I taught you to do things that hurt heaven and reason, you madman, I will never spare you." ”

Yao Banxian's heart was overjoyed, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said loudly: "Thank you Master, thank you Master, the apprentice will obey the master's orders, and the apprentice will never dishonor the reputation of the teacher!" ”

The "Yin and Yang Elders" turned around and walked forward leisurely along the streets of Longgu Town, disappearing into the night.
