This is Xue Tianqing's second visit to the underworld, and unlike what he imagined, the soul here has no physical body, and it is no different from the mortal creatures.

Not only were they brightly dressed and bright, but they also talked and laughed with each other.

There is no such thing as a scene in folklore where the soul is like before death.

However, Xue Tianqing was a little different, because his body was constantly emitting a light visible to the naked eye, which was the pure yang qi of the flesh.

Although the creatures of the underworld avoided it when they saw the snow, they didn't do anything else, because they were used to it.

As the spirits came to the city gate, Xue Tianqing just wanted to enter the city, when he saw the city guard pointing with a big gun in his hand: "This is the Netherworld, mortal beings are not allowed to enter!" ”

Xue Tianqing bared his teeth: "I have an urgent matter to see the black impermanence, I wonder if the two of you can make it convenient?" ”

"No, how can you allow living souls to enter and leave the city!"

Xue Tianqing said: "This matter is related to the safety of the underworld, if it is delayed, I am afraid you will not be able to afford it!" ”

Seeing that the snow was sunny and not like a joke, the guards of the city discussed for a while, and finally a small leader got on his horse and went straight to the city.

Xue Tianqing wanted to inquire about the customs and customs of the lower underworld, but when all the souls saw him approaching, they all retreated, and had no choice but to stand not far from the city gate and wait for the darkness and impermanence.

About half an hour later, I only heard the sound of rapid horses' hooves in the city, and then the black impermanence came to Xue Tianqing: "You don't accompany Tang Sanzang to get the Western Scripture, why did you come to the underworld?" ”

Listening to the snow Tianqing explain the meaning, the black impermanence was silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Xue Tianqing said: "There are countless ghosts in the quicksand river, most of them are people who died in vain, you can't watch them suffer forever, right?" ”

Hei Wuchang pondered for a moment, and then said to Xue Tianqing: "Follow me." ”

After saying that, he beat his horse and whipped south, regardless of whether the snow was sunny or not.

If the city of Xudu is solemn, the scenery of the rest of the prefecture can be described as beautiful.

Looking at the various unknown trees, flowers and plants on the side of the road and the people who were working in the distance, Xue Tianqing was surprised: "Why is there no difference between the underworld and the yang?" ”

Hei Wuchang said without looking back: "There is no difference except that one creature has flesh and blood, and the other is a yin soul, do you think that the creature in the underworld will only wander around?" ”

Xue Tianqing nodded: "You are really right, in folklore, the wind gusts in the underworld, and the lonely ghosts wander around, have no fixed residence, and endure the pain of wind and rain every day." The most important thing is what those ghosts look like before they die, and what the soul looks like. Missing arms and legs, intestines and rotten stomachs abound. ”

Hei Wuchang snorted: "God hear what those bastards have ruined the underworld? I really should go to Yan Jun and let all souls be reincarnated with memories of their past lives. ”

Xue Tianqing was curious: "Is Heavenly Court, like the underworld and the human world, also have its own people and be self-sufficient?" ”

Hei Wuchang snorted: "If that's the case, do they still want human offerings?" Don't say anything else, don't you remember what happened to Wan Taofeng? ”

Xue Tianqing was surprised: "Even you know this? ”

"The underworld knows far more than you think, and when you become a Da Luo Golden Immortal, it is a transcendent saint, and many things will be known."

"Why can't you know now?"

"Because you are not qualified enough, a little golden immortal is like a king in the river, grabbing a handful."

Xue Tianqing said angrily: "Can you talk well!" ”

"That's just the truth of what I'm talking about!" After Hei Wuchang finished speaking, he rushed to the front as soon as he urged the war horse.

The two of them talked as they walked forward, and after half an hour they finally came to a big river.

Hei Wuchang grabbed his mount and said, "Do you know what kind of river this is?" ”

Xue Tianqing looked at the churning river and the soul that was constantly rising and falling in the water and said, "This is the Lechuan River, right?" ”

Hei Wuchang nodded: "Exactly, the Lechuan River is where the underworld cleanses the souls and anger, and it was opened up by Hou Tu Niangniang herself. ”

Then he sighed: "In the great war more than seven hundred years ago, although neither side made a move to the underworld, the aftermath shook the boundary wall of the two realms, causing part of the Lechuan River to flow to the human world and then return to the underworld. ”

Xue Tianqing was taken aback: "You mean that the quicksand river is the Lechuan River?" ”

"Yes and no, there are both the water of the yang and the flow of the underworld in the quicksand river."

Xue Tianqing shook her head and said, "No, Lin Miaoxue said that the unjust souls in the river are all people who died in vain back then." ”

Hei Wuchang snorted: "How much can a lonely ghost know?" ”

"By the way, what did you just say about the Great War more than 700 years ago?"

Hei Wuchang glanced at Xue Tianqing meaningfully: "You don't know? ”

Seeing Xue Tianqing nodding, he continued: "When you should know, you will naturally know." ”

Xuetian pouted: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, who is rare?" But since the boundary wall is broken, why not find a way to plug it? ”

"Blocked? The underworld was opened up by Hou Tu Niang Niang herself, and if she wants to repair it, she must have the power of a saint, and now in the Three Realms, where to find a saint? Even if you find it, whether you will make a move or not is between the two. ”

Hei Impermanence's words reminded Xue Tianqing of what the master had said when she was in Fangcun Mountain, there were no saints in the Three Realms at all now, and even she and the Jade Emperor had just touched the threshold of saints.

Since it can't be repaired, you have to find another way to cross the river.

Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing drooped his head and prepared to leave.

But just after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Can you help me find out Lin Miaoxue's lover, where is that Sima Yu now?" Bringing him back might be an option, too. ”

The next moment, with a wave of his hand, a blue light appeared in front of him, like a projection that Xue Tianqing had seen more than once.

Seeing that the black impermanence was engrossed, Xue Tianqing stretched his neck and prepared to see what was on the blue light.

But no matter how hard he tried, even if he used the Void Eye, he still couldn't see anything except the blue light.

After a long time, Hei Wuchang frowned: "How is this possible?" ”

Xue Tianqing said worriedly: "You won't tell me that he is gone, right?" ”

Hei Wuchang shook his head: "It's not that the soul is scattered, but that it disappears." ”

Then Hei Wuchang looked at Xue Tianqing with a strange expression: "Lin Miaoxue's lover looks exactly the same as you?" ”

Seeing Xue Tianqing nodding, Hei Wuchang said: "I'll go with you, restrain the unjust souls in the river, and your master and apprentice will be able to cross the river." ”

Xue Tianqing bared his teeth: "That's fine, then thank you big brother, as long as I can restrain the unjust souls in the river, I have a way to save the master and them out." ”

"Thank you no, if you can, send a few more days to bring down the soul, preferably Li Jing's kind."

"If you don't ask for this, I would have seen that Heavenly Court was not pleasing to the eye a long time ago, if it weren't for the accident halfway last time, the general would have wanted to send it to you."

Speaking of this, Xue Tianqing's heart moved: I remember that the last time the souls of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were hooked, their bodies turned into dust and dissipated into nothingness.

When I asked about the Bodhi Patriarch in Dongsheng Shenzhou, I learned that it was the Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General who abandoned his body when he ascended, leaving only his soul behind.

Since the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals don't have real physical bodies, what's going on with Marshal Tianpeng?

His spirit turned into an ordinary soul, how could his physical body not dissipate? I only learned about this matter after Xue Tianqing returned, so I didn't have the opportunity to ask Patriarch Bodhi for advice.

When I met the ancestor of the Yin Soul Realm today, I just asked him.

Hearing Xue Tianqing's confusion, Hei Wuchang said lightly: "If you want to ascend to the Heavenly Court, although the Divine Soul Ascension is the most convenient way, it is also a helpless move, because they can't resist those heavenly tribulations. Since ancient times, those who really have great perseverance have all become immortals in the flesh. ”

Xue Tianqing nodded: "I understand, those top figures in Heavenly Court are all immortals in the flesh. ”

Hei Wuchang nodded: "The physical body is the best reliance after becoming an immortal, and it is also the foundation for continuing to improve cultivation. ”

The two talked and talked, and after a while, they crossed the border between the two realms and came to the quicksand river.

Qing Yue, who was waiting under the big tree, said hello to the two, and then told Xue Tianqing that there was no movement in the river during the time he left.

Looking at the river rolling forward, Hei Wuchang sighed: "The suffering of the souls here is very much people can imagine, so their grievances are deep and forgivable. ”

"Brother, don't be emotional, send me to wait to cross the river."

Hei Wuchang shook his head: "As you said just now, as long as there is no Yin Soul to stop you, you can rescue Tang Sanzang." ”

Xue Tianqing just wanted to speak, but was pushed aside by Qing Yue: "Senior, as long as we can stop the Yin Soul from attacking, we can rescue Tang Sanzang." ”

Looking at Qingyue, who was full of confidence, Xue Tianqing really didn't know what her idea was.

After all, even if there is no Yin Soul to help, he is not Lin Miaoxue's opponent in the water.

Just when he was pondering, Qingyue said again: "As long as there is no Yin Soul, Tang Sanzang's soul will be fine, it's a big deal to drink two more sips of water, it's not like you haven't drunk it." ”

Although Xue Tianqing heard that her head was full of black lines, she couldn't help but admit that this was indeed a solution, but would Lin Miaoxue let herself go so easily?

"You're right, it's a big deal to drink a few sips of water, it's not so easy to die, right?"

The last two words, Xue Tianqing said to the black impermanence.

I don't want to be black and impermanent, and smiled faintly: "Life and death are in the sky, and Tang Sanzang's life and death have nothing to do with me." But I tell you, if he is destined to be like this, I will not show mercy. ”

Seeing Xue Tianqing's mouth wide open, Hei Wuchang said again: "What I don't understand the most is that you disappeared from the Three Realms for no reason, and then appeared for no reason, and the power of the soul has become completely different, so that you can't manifest in the book of life and death, what have you experienced?" ”

Xue Tianqing was stunned: "What do you mean?" Don't you think I'm that Sima Yu, right? ”

Hei Wuchang snorted: "Do you really think that there will be two people in the world who have completely different souls, but look exactly the same?" The physical body is the carrier of the soul, and what kind of soul there is, what kind of body there is. ”

Looking at Xue Tianqing's wonderful expression, Hei Wuchang seemed to be very happy: "You are Lin Miaoxue's former lover, this matter started because of you, and it will end by you." ”
