Chapter 227: Reunion after a long absence

Thinking of this, I dispelled the idea of refusing her to follow me, if the arrangement and selection of the underworld were related to Shangguan Yan, then I really had to keep her by my side.

"Okay, I'm afraid of being bored, so let's have a companion, you and I can go." With that, I walked to a dense forest behind the road.

Shangguan Yan quickly chased after him a few steps and said, "Huh? What are you doing in the grove? ”

I smiled and said:

"Go do something, it'll take an hour or two, have you waited?"

Shangguan Yan nodded and said:

"I have more time, I'll just wait for you."

This dense forest is behind the old mansion, and in this place, there are many dense forests similar to this one besides this dense forest.

There are a lot of black trees in these forests, but they are not real trees.

It looks like a black metallic texture and is extremely hard to the touch.

The yin qi in these dense forests seems to be much stronger than near the road.

It is better to gather yin in this kind of place.

I found a piece of flat land and made it, and Shangguan Yan also sat quietly on the side:

"Shall we sit here for an hour or two?"

I smiled and said:

"I'm going to gather yin here to improve my strength."

"Juyin? How to gather yin? I want it too, can you teach me well? Shangguan Yan said happily.

I shook my head and said:

"You can't gather, because my soul body is very special, so I can gather yin."

Shangguan Yan sighed and said:

"Then hurry up, I'm a little uncomfortable staying in this place."

"Well, don't run around."

As I spoke, I began to chant the Soul Gathering Spell.

The yin qi here is purer and much richer than that on Huangquan Road.

The yin wind formed by these yin qi has a hint of refreshing coolness, which is very comfortable.

I was immersed in the yin and couldn't extricate myself, and more than three hours flashed by.

After reciting the last Yin Gathering Mantra, I couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long roar, and the yin air around my body was flowing freely.

The feeling of the soul body is extremely comfortable, if this strength is on the Huangquan Road, Zeng Fanxiu wants to stop me.

But everything has its own certainty, if Zeng Fan doesn't stop me, I won't see the iron egg.

I stood up, patted my soul symbolically, and ran towards the old mansion without stopping.

I just ran two steps, and suddenly remembered that Shangguan Yan was still here just now, why is it missing now?

"Shangguan Yan?"

I shouted loudly, and there was no movement.

Although Juyin was very absorbed just now, if Shangguan Yan was captured by someone, I would definitely be able to sense it.

She disappeared suddenly, and the only possibility was that Shangguan Yan left quietly by herself.

I shouted two more times, but there was still no response.

"Forget it, maybe she was impatient to wait and leave, she said before that it was uncomfortable to stay here."

I thought to myself, let's go to the old mansion first.

Quickly returned to the old mansion, and Mu Xue's laughter was still heard from inside the door.

I didn't hesitate any longer, and rushed straight to the door, slamming my hands hard.

This solemn and quaint door was pushed open directly by me.

This old mansion is extremely strange.

There were no rooms inside, just a large compound surrounded by walls.

Mu Xue's soul was playing in the open space in the middle of the compound.

There were a lot of butterflies around her, and they were all so colorful that I had ever seen them in the underworld.

"Mu Xue!"

I stepped into the gate and quickly rushed towards Mu Xue.

Mu Xue turned her head:

"Brother? Are you an older brother? It's really my brother. ”

She smiled and threw herself at me with open hands.

I picked up Mu Xue with tears in my eyes and turned around several times, Mu Xue laughed and said:

"Brother, Mu Xue misses you so much, I dream of you every night, where have you been?"

I hugged Mu Xue tightly, calmed down with excitement, and asked:

"Mu Xue, tell my brother, why did you come here?"

Mu Xue smiled, her eyes curved into a crescent:

"There was an uncle who said he was going to take me to find my brother, so I came over, but I didn't expect that I really found my brother, I want to thank that uncle, by the way, brother, where did my parents go? Mu Xue hasn't seen them for a long time, and Mu Xue misses them so much. ”

"Mu Xue, it's okay, my brother will take you to find your parents soon, you tell your brother, where is the uncle who brought you?"

I hurriedly asked, who else can bring Mu Xue's soul here across Huangquan Road, except for Yincha?

Mu Xue looked around and said:

"Huh? That uncle was still here just now, why did he suddenly disappear. ”

I frowned, put Mu Xue down on the ground, looked at this weird old mansion, and said loudly:

"Lord Yin, why did you go to all the trouble to get my sister here?"

Mu Xue took my hand, looked at me in a daze, and said:

"Brother, don't talk like that, that uncle was very good to me and didn't arrest me, and he promised to help me find my brother and really found it, and we have to thank that uncle."

"It's just, I didn't say a word of thanks, and I actually blamed it, it's really rude......"

A young voice came out, and this voice was a little older than Zeng Fan's voice.

A ghost slowly condensed in front of me, dressed strangely, wearing a black dress draped over his body.

The black clothes are a bit like leather black, and they wear a pair of tall black boots on their feet.

A brown girdle was tied with a blue rope, and even more strangely, the ghost wore a dark gray hat in the shape of a hat.

Coupled with the long knife more than one meter long on his waist, he is like an ancient knight.

Looking at this weird ghost, I found it a little funny.

Because he has delicate facial features and looks very young.

But the one in the back was draped with gray hair, and this hair made it difficult for me to tell whether this ghost was male or female.

However, judging from the sound and the flatness in front of his chest, he is definitely a man.

"It's funny, you took my sister's soul and made him dying in the sun, I still have to thank you?"

I asked in a cold voice.

The ghost laughed and said:

"Am I not also acting on orders?"

"On orders? On whose orders? You don't look like a bad guy. ”

"Who told you that only a bad man can do what he is told? Haven't you heard of the profession of hiring souls? It stands to reason that you are also a Taoist priest, don't you know? The ghost asked.

"Hired Spirits? I haven't heard of it, you said that you were ordered to bring my sister's soul down, so why is that? ”

I asked, confused.

The self-proclaimed hired ghost said:

"Alas, it's a long story, I'll make a long story short, of course, I only say what I know, and you don't ask what I didn't say, because I don't know."

I nodded, motioning for him to hurry up.

He cleared his throat and said:

"Your terrible can't be worse Bazi, it was specially given to you in the underworld, and your yang longevity is also doomed, there are many evil ways in the yang world, and some evil ways have done evil to the point that he can't bear it after his death, and it's not good for the underworld to directly send people to kill those evil ways, so the underworld will choose some righteous Taoist priests to clean them up, and you are one of these people. Of course, there is great merit in these things, and as compensation, these people will live well in their next rebirth. So I want to congratulate you first, you will have no worries about food and clothing in your next life. ”

"Don't talk about this, pick the key point and say, since it is a great merit, why do you want to catch my sister's soul."

I asked directly, and what he said also made me understand what the yin said that I was the chosen one in the underworld.

He gave me a blank look and said:

"If I hadn't been obliged to explain it to you, I would have turned my face a long time ago if I had this attitude towards you."

“......”

I didn't speak, my face was speechless.

He continued:

"You have too much nostalgia for the yang world, even if you become a yin ghost, you have a way to escape the yin and the soul, so if you don't bring your sister's soul down, you will definitely play tricks to stay in the yang world, am I right?"

It dawned on me that this was deliberately arranged in the underworld, and the purpose was to fear that I would stay in the yang world?

"Well, you're right, if Mu Xue's soul hadn't been brought in by you, I wouldn't have come to this place at all."

I said it directly.

He smiled and said:

"So, all of you who are chosen need to go to the underworld to report on your work, and then distribute the best reincarnation paths according to your merits."

"I don't need any good reincarnation, I ......"

Before I could finish my sentence, he interrupted me:

"You don't need it, but the underworld needs it, and the underworld always needs some people with great influence to promote development and maintain harmony, and if you don't go, their original arrangement will be broken, which is a very troublesome thing for them."

"So you capture my sister's soul to coerce me to come to the underworld to report and even force me to reincarnate?"

......
