Chapter 323: Ghost Hunting Sinners, Land of Sword Forest!
The old man's words made me laugh, "Uncle, you mean that without you I would not be able to leave here? If so, wouldn't you underestimate me too much? Since you don't want to show your true face, then there is no point in me staying here." Farewell!"
With that, I stood up, picked up the vajra and walked outside.
When the old man saw that I was leaving, he immediately scolded: "Presumptuous! The old man kindly invited you in for tea, and you walked away, do you think this is worthy of me?"
When I heard this, I immediately turned around, "I said uncle, it's not that I'm rude, it's that your old man is always so mysterious." If you were honest with me, I am sure I would be very respectful. ”
When the old man heard this, he sighed lightly and said, "Okay! In that case, then the old man will tell you my true identity! I am the third generation of ghost hunters who were expelled from the sect by the ghost hunting sect, and I should be regarded as your ancestor." ”
Hearing this, I was shocked, and immediately asked, "Uncle, you said that you are a ghost hunter? Then why were you expelled from the sect? What happened?"
The old man sighed, and then spoke to me. In his early years, he worshiped in the ghost hunting door, and was bent on catching ghosts and saving people, but he did something wrong. It was precisely because of this wrong incident that Fengdu was in turmoil, and the king of Hades was furious, which led to the closure of the ghost hunting division and its existence in name only.
So in this way, he is my ghost catcher. No one in the Ghost Hunting Sect has mentioned him as the number one person, and even my master is a dream Taoist who doesn't know his existence.
It turned out that he had been ordered to go to a mountain village to arrest evil spirits, but when he rushed there, the evil spirits were already missing. But in order to complete the task, he arrested a little ghost and took the blame.
The matter had passed like this, who would have thought that the king of Hades would go on a tour of the world one day but found a city of dead corpses. After investigation, it was found that it was the evil spirit that had not been eliminated.
This is the first time that the massacre of the city has happened. And it is precisely because of his confusion that he led the tragedy to happen. There were tens of thousands of unjust ghosts in a city, all of whom flocked to the Nai He Bridge, and they occupied the Nai He Bridge, which naturally caused the order of the underworld to be disordered.
In addition, at that time, Fengdu and the Vain Death City had been fighting for many years, and the ghosts couldn't cross the Nahe Bridge, so they all entered the Vain Death City.
The city of vain has grown a lot for a while, and the original balance is about to be broken. The king of Hades was furious, so he punished the ghost and arrested the division.
Master Zhong Kui originally wanted to take on it with all his might and keep the ghost hunting division complete. But the ten halls of Yama came to force the palace together, and it was difficult for him to disobey. In the end, if it weren't for the appearance of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, I'm afraid that this old man would have been sent to the eighteenth layer of hell.
But the death penalty can be avoided and the living sin cannot be escaped, so the king of the earth took him as a doorman, and later because ten thousand ghosts and spirits were about to be born. King Jizo Bodhisattva ordered him to go and strengthen the seal, and in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, his soul was sucked into the ghost realm by the ten thousand ghosts, and since then he has never been able to live beyond the life of the ghost, and he has been trapped here for a long time.
As for why he was able to enter the human world and tell me all kinds of things about the spirits of all ghosts, it was precisely because of the will of King Jizo Bodhisattva. But after telling me about it, he returned.
I already know all about it, and I'm very speechless about him.
"I said, uncle, your job is obviously irresponsible? Since you are the ghost catcher of the Ghost Hunting Division, how can you recruit people to talk back for the sake of making errands?"
The old man's face turned red at what I said, and then he sighed softly and said, "Young and ignorant, sowing evil fruits." Here I am, I have been duly punished. It's just that I'm ashamed of the ghost catcher, and I'm ashamed of my ancestor and master. Alas......"
I saw that he was a little sad, and immediately comforted: "The matter is over, and I don't know if you don't tell me." Since you were my ghost hunter, I should call you an old ancestor. As I spoke, I fell to my knees in front of him and knocked my head three times.
When the old man saw me kowtowing, he burst into tears. "I didn't expect that hundreds of years later, there would still be people who would recognize me as a ghost catcher. The old man has lived until now, and everything is worth it. Son, get up!"
When I heard this, I stood up directly. "Old Patriarch, you said that you had already gone out of here last time, why did the Jizo King Bodhisattva let you come back again? He is a Bodhisattva of great compassion, shouldn't he be so cruel?"
The old man smiled helplessly and said, "I know that I have sinned deeply, and I will naturally not be able to leave here until I have received the punishment." When I make up for it, I will naturally go out. ”
Although the old patriarch said this, I knew that he must be very eager to get out of here. After all, everyone wants to be a good person, not to be a ghost here all their lives.
"Disciple grandson, although you have passed the two floors smoothly, the next two floors are the most difficult to pass. Only by keeping your heart can you be invincible. The door out of this place of peace is actually a blanket under our feet. You just uncover him and you'll move on to the next level.
Before I do that, I'll tell you a little bit about the two floors below. The fourth layer is the land of the Sword Forest, full of swords with upward edges, and these swords are full of great poison. So if you want to get through the fourth layer, the first thing you have to do is to prevent your body from coming into contact with the blade. But this is very difficult to do, in order to prevent you from being poisoned. I have a pill here, if your body is accidentally cut by the blade, you swallow it in time. Got it?"
With that, he handed me a red pill. Seeing this, I hurriedly took it, and at the same time said gratefully: "Thank you for the guidance of the patriarch, Cidan!"
The old man nodded, and then continued: "If you can pass the fourth layer, then there is the most difficult level left. In the fifth layer, it is called all thoughts are ashes. You will encounter all kinds of things that make your heart ache, and to put it bluntly, it will find the weakest side of you and then make it unbearable for you. I can't help you in this level, you can only rely on yourself! When you pass these five levels, you will encounter the essence of ten thousand ghosts. As long as you get rid of him, this ghost realm will disappear and you will be able to return to the human world. ”
I took all the old patriarch's words to heart, and then kowtowed to him three more times, and then lifted the blanket on the ground.
The moment the stall was opened, a huge suction force sucked me straight in. The intense feeling of vertigo made me uncomfortable, and it was difficult to stabilize my body.
After a while, my body stopped spinning, and a neatly arranged sword appeared in my sight. I fell from the sky, and if I fell vertically like this, I would surely be pierced by ten thousand swords and die.
At this critical juncture, I jerked the vajra straight down. The vajra is more than two meters long, which should save me from being stabbed into my body by these blades. But as I got closer, I finally realized that something was wrong. I can't see the length of these up-edged swords, and if I stand between them with a vajra pestle, I'm afraid I'll be stabbed to death by the sword.
How can this be good? It was too late, it was fast, and just when my body was only two meters away from the sword blade below, I quickly took out the Tiangang Sword Talisman from my pocket.
The Tiangang Sword Talisman was punched out by me, and it instantly turned into a small golden sword. I held the golden sword with one hand, and then played the Tiangang Sword Talisman again.
In this way, with each step, I played a sword talisman as a pedal, and walked reluctantly forward. But this is not a long-term solution after all, I have a limited number of sword talismans, and when they are all consumed, how will I step through this sword forest?
I can't remember how many steps I've taken, but I only have ten sword talismans left on me. The end of the sword forest was still out of reach, and my forehead was already covered with sweat.
"What the hell am I going to do? If only I could fly, even if it's a swordworth?"
Since the little Taoist can fly with the sword. Why can't I? Thinking about it, I decided to give it a try. I poured my true qi into the vajra, then turned my sword finger into my hand and manipulated it with my mind.
Not to mention, the vajra slowly flew up under my control. The sword talisman under my feet is about to turn to ashes, and I can only make another one. Now the sword talisman is one less than one, and if I can't succeed within ten steps, then it's going to be troublesome.
"Vajra, listen to me!" I shouted, then pointed my sword to call it back to me. I gritted my teeth, and the moment the sword talisman disappeared at my feet, I jumped high.
A pair of feet easily stepped on the vajra, but who would have thought that this vajra would sink downward, and then, my whole body fell down, and it was a big head down, looking at the tip of a sword I couldn't help but scream.
Fortunately, I still have a few sword talismans on my body at this moment, and now it is important to save my life, and I don't care so much. With a wave of his hand, he hit two of them, and at the moment when these two sword talismans turned into small swords. My body slammed into it. Then the blocking of this sword talisman, I hurriedly controlled the center of gravity, and only then did I escape.
Looking at the tip of the sword that was close at hand, I couldn't help but swallow. With one move, I returned the vajra to my hand. It seems that I can't do this Edgeworth flight.
I cast another sword talisman and jumped over. Now I only have five sword talismans left in my hand, and I just hope they will help me get out of here. Actually, I was thinking about not moving Vajra, but if you don't move Vajra, you can't move, as long as you take a step of the leg, it will automatically be released.
So it's useless to use it to rush out of this sword forest. Now that I was in a desperate situation, I thought of the Immortal Golden Body technique again. Except in the tomb of General Tu King, I managed to do it once, and I never succeeded after that. If I can perform it smoothly today, then this sword forest will not pose any threat to me.
I took a deep breath, then remembered the seals that had been formed that day, and I tried to punch them out one by one. Not to mention, with the formation of the seal, my body really began to harden. It wasn't until the last Dharma Seal was punched out that I suddenly shouted, "Vajra Arhat, Immortal Golden Body!"
As soon as the words fell, my body instantly flashed with dazzling golden light. At the same time, the sword talisman at my feet turned to ashes.
I'm going to see now how the Root Sword of this earth can break through my immortal golden body......
