Chapter 717: Escort Failure
Separated by two streets, there is a bottomless cliff.
The only skill of the living Yin Cha is to hook the soul, and they don't know anything else, basically no different from ordinary people.
And the current scene is something they can't handle.
Shi Gong stepped forward, calmly looking at the cliff ahead, and with a wave of his right hand, a suspension bridge extended out of thin air, directly connecting the two streets.
He was at the front and led us up the bridge.
Yin Cha and Professor Hu walked in the middle, and I walked in the back of the last face.
Strangely, the distance between the two streets is not very far, but as soon as you get on the bridge, the bridge seems to suddenly lengthen, and the distance between the two streets seems to be a hundred meters away.
I was about halfway to the bridge, which was supposed to be across the street, but I suddenly saw a misty peak.
And at the foot of the mountain is a huge cave, like a tunnel.
I have seen in the notes of the seventh master that after the living person seduces the soul, he first has to take the soul away from home, and then what route he will take and how long he will walk, there is no detailed record in the note, but when it comes to the end, he will reach the bottom of a mountain, this mountain has a cave, and the other end of the cave goes directly to the nearby City God Temple.
Because after a person dies, he must first go to the City God Temple to report, and then after receiving the 'road guide' in the City God Temple, he will go to the Ghost Gate Pass, and when he arrives at the Ghost Gate Pass, he will show the 'Road Guide', and only after entering the Ghost Gate Pass can he officially enter the underworld.
At this time, when I saw the mountain on the opposite side of the bridge, I couldn't help but feel a little magical.
According to Shigong, as long as we escort Professor Hu to the City God Temple, our task will be completed.
But the task seems simple, provided that no one comes out to make trouble.
As we continued to cross the bridge, a burly man suddenly appeared on the other side of the bridge, wearing a mask and holding a large knife in his hand, looking at us.
Although he couldn't see his face, it could be seen from the way he brandished the big knife, and he was probably sneering.
He wanted to cut the rope on the drawbridge and make us fall off the bridge.
Seeing the movements in his hands, not only Professor Hu panicked, but the three living people were also frightened.
Once we fall off the bridge, our physical body lying on the bed will also die, although it is an illusion, but it will also die.
I saw that with a wave of his hand, he brought everyone back to the edge of the cliff in the blink of an eye.
By this time, the masked man had cut down the drawbridge.
I looked down and saw the drawbridge crashing against the cliff wall, and there was a very real loud noise.
The loud noise frightened us several steps back, and only Shigong was still standing there, staring at the masked man in the air.
With his hands behind his back, he said to the masked man lightly: "If a good person doesn't do it, why do you want to be a beast who helps and abuses, obstructs the yin and seduces the soul, and is not afraid that you will not be reincarnated after death?" ”
The masked man's disdainful laughter came: "Old Daoist, you still have so many nosy things when you are old, and you still care about whether people can be reincarnated." ”
"The dead will go down to hell and be under the control of hell, but if it is an immortal, will he be able to control it in hell?"
Shigong sighed and said, "Seven deaths for life has a great defect in life, even if you can live forever, what is the point of such a life?" ”
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm, and it is also the law of nature, if you do this, one day you will have to face all the causes and effects, and one day you will return to the underworld, and when the time comes, the gains outweigh the losses."
Shigong's words were not to scare him, but to say a fact very objectively.
The person on the other side wouldn't have been ignorant of this, but he still let out a disdainful laugh.
His laughter was in response to what Shigong said, which showed that they had the ability to avoid the consequences of what Shigong said.
However, the seven deaths we know at present cannot be done at all, and no matter how smart and cunning a person is, it is impossible to change the laws of nature and the way of heaven.
I wonder if the reason why this masked man laughs so arrogantly has something to do with the fact that they want to save Professor Hu's life?
Seeing this, Shigong didn't say anything to him anymore, and said in the air: "I'll come over immediately, you will definitely die, before I come, you better go." ”
The masked man was also smart, and said with a smile: "Old Daoist Shenwei, although you can kill me, but isn't your purpose to escort Professor Hu to the City God Temple?" ”
"Before we reach the City God Temple, if we can't prevent Professor Hu from passing away, we can only burn the jade and make Professor Hu unable to reincarnate, I believe this is not what you want to see."
"In addition, we will also give two additional people to Professor Hu's funeral."
After speaking, two young people, a man and a woman, suddenly appeared next to the masked man.
The two young men looked sluggish, their heels were high, and they were also in a state of soul.
Seeing these two young people, Shigong couldn't help but clench his fists and stare at the opposite side.
This man and woman should have been arrested, and they were prepared by the Tang family to renew Professor Hu's life.
Seeing that the master did not move, the masked man became arrogant again: "Old Daoist, which is more important, you can choose for yourself, I am here now, if you want to kill me, I can't escape." ”
Shi Gong turned around directly and said to the three living people: "You guys go, I can't escort it today." ”
The three of them looked at each other and were a little embarrassed: "Is there no other way?" ”
Shigong shook his head: "There is no way." ”
Seeing that the master had no choice, they could only give up and put back the chain that was holding Professor Hu.
Shi Gong said to them: "The matter on this side of the yang world has not been dealt with yet, there are too many obstacles, let's deal with it first, and when it is dealt with, let's come back." ”
Speaking of which, the yin cha had no choice but to leave.
My grandfather didn't bother to look at the other side anymore, so I sent Professor Hu home with him.
On the bed in the bedroom, I sat up and quickly got out of bed and went to the next room.
Shigong had already gotten up, and was standing in front of the window in his coat, frowning.
He turned to me and said, "It seems that the Tang family did not let Professor Hu die, because it had something to do with the exchange of seven deaths, and they wanted Professor Hu to study the exchange of seven deaths for life and avoid the defects of life caused by the exchange of seven deaths." ”
This is what Shi Gong just said to the masked man.
I frowned and said: "The exchange of seven deaths for lives was researched by the leader of the previous organization, the monk Daojue, and his original intention of studying the seven deaths for life was to use 'immortality and immortality' to maintain the loyalty of believers to him, and later the exchange of seven deaths was used by Wu Huaqing as a transaction. ”
"Although the exchange of seven deaths avoids death, it brings a great defect in the life personality, which is actually an equivalent exchange, even if the Tang family can let Professor Hu study a way to avoid the life defect, it is actually another form of equivalent exchange."
Because no one can change the way of heaven, Professor Hu and other mortals cannot.
The so-called seven deaths for life, even if it is a theoretically valid method to avoid the defects of the life personality, is just a kind of cheating.
