Chapter 772: Catching Ghosts
The more Cheng Ling walked, the more surprised he became, the scene of this underworld was similar to the legend on the earth. Su Yi felt a little cold on his back, and said softly: "Brother Cheng, this underworld is too weird, and I don't know what kind of character that ghost Taoist is." ”
Cheng Ling said: "I told you not to come with you earlier, now I know I'm afraid!"
Su Yi's face was slightly red, but he still stubbornly raised his head and said, "Don't be afraid, with Brother Cheng here, you will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune!"
Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, this kid is really confident in himself, there is no way, just try his best to protect him when the time comes!
Without further ado, the two followed the group and slowly walked into the cave.
As soon as I entered, I saw that there were more yin spirits inside, all kinds of strange appearances, and there was no end in sight at all, Cheng Ling glanced at Su Yi, and the two of them mixed in the crowd and walked all the way forward.
Now that she has entered the Ghost Gate, there should be a Soul Restoration Grass here, but where to find it? She couldn't help but think to herself, there were no "people" here at all, and she didn't know who to inquire about.
Cheng Ling looked around and found that all the Yin Spirits and transparent people were walking towards the left, while one of the officials was walking towards the right, so he said to Su Yi: "You help me take care of the master first, and I'll follow to take a look." Remember, don't act rashly!"
Su Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Cheng, we swallowed the Transformation Pill, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them, we won't be able to see through our true identity." ”
Cheng Ling nodded, and because of this, he was relieved to hand over Yang Hongqiu to him. The refining of the Transformation Pill is not difficult, and it just so happens that the materials purchased in the ghost town can be gathered, and hundreds of them were refined in the process of hurrying, enough to be used for several months!
With the breathing technique, the whole person seemed to be hollow, and he couldn't feel a trace of breath. Quietly followed behind the officer, and after a long time, the farther and farther, gradually saw fewer and fewer yin spirits, and there was a faint sound of "lala" flowing water.
The official kept following the sound of the water, and after a while, Cheng Ling found that there was no one around, so he took a few steps forward and shouted, "Fellow Daoists, stay, there is something I want to inquire about." ”
The servant was startled, stopped, turned around and looked at him suspiciously, and said, "What's the matter?"
"May I ask Daoyou, do you know where the ghost Dao people are, or do you know the whereabouts of the Soul Returning Grass and Yin Yang Grass?"
"Ghost Dao people, yin and yang grass, soul rejuvenation grass? Hey, no. You call me Daoyou? You're not a Yin Spirit, how did you get here?"
Cheng Ling was startled, and his body technique instantly came to the side of the officer, and with a little right hand, he restrained him. The thunder on the two fingers is swallowed, and just a flash of thought can annihilate the opponent's soul.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the servant, and the power of thunder and lightning was the nemesis of his own yin spirit.
He glanced at Cheng Ling and said, "The ghost Daoist is in the upper reaches of the water of Lethe, walking along the edge of the river, and he will soon find a palace, which is his residence. Hey, isn't that a ghost?"
Cheng Ling was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw that there was nothing behind him, and he immediately knew that he had fallen for the trick of this official. Sure enough, when he turned his head, his fingers were weak, and there was still the figure of the officer.
He scolded in his heart, knowing that he was careless this time, he couldn't imagine that the officials in the ghost gate were so shrewd that they would deceive themselves. At the same time, he also understands that even if his breath and appearance change greatly, his tone and demeanor will still show some flaws.
He pondered a little, remembering the tone of the officer's voice. According to inertial speculation, the guy's first few words should be true. The highest level of deception is not all lies, but seven points of truth and three points of falsehood.
Looking at it this way, the residence of the ghost people should be upstream of the water of Lethe. He remembered Yang Hongqiu and Su Yi in his heart, so he didn't delay any longer and turned back to the original road.
When he returned to the original place, he saw that Yang Hongqiu was already awake, looking at her pale face, his heart ached, and he said: "I probably know the specific location of the ghost Taoist, let's go find it first, and put the others aside." ”
The two agreed, and followed him along the water of Lethe River.
After walking a distance, I saw a quaint palace, which was made of the same material as the previous torii, and it was all pitch black. The perimeter of the palace is lit up with turquoise lighting frames, and the flames are swaying, reflecting on the dark walls of the palace, which is even more mysterious and mysterious.
There are also many Yin Spirits wearing simple armor in front of the palace lined up, seeing that their outfits are much better than ordinary Yin Spirits, and the Yin and Cold Qi is also more powerful, they should be the ghost soldiers mentioned by Bai Qian.
Su Yi looked at the long queue in front of him and said depressedly: "Brother Cheng, when are we going to line up with so many Yin Spirits." ”
"Don't worry, I just ran into something that just reminded us of the awakening. When we come to the Netherworld, we must pay special attention to our words and deeds, because if we are not careful, it is easy to show our feet. Now it's time to see how those ghost soldiers speak, and you can also learn a thing or two. ”
Su Yi suddenly came to his senses, and secretly admired in his heart, how could he not think of such a thing? Brother Cheng was really as careful as dust, and he would never suffer a loss if he followed!
In this way, the two of them lined up behind the ghost soldiers, and they moved towards the palace step by step, their eyes staring closely at the tone of those ghost soldiers' words, silently remembering in their hearts.
Cheng Ling found that the names of these ghost soldiers were very different from those of the Star Realm. In the cultivation world, they are generally called seniors and juniors, but the ghost soldiers are different, they call adults according to their ranks, no wonder the official found that there was a problem just by the tone of his own speech.
After waiting like this for a day, the three of them finally entered the main hall, and in front of them they saw a huge bone chair in the distance, and the chair was inlaid with several hollow skulls. In the middle of the chair, a man wearing a Taoist robe with a string of goats with short beards that resembled human monks seven or eight points sat on it, welcoming the ghost soldiers one by one.
Some of those ghost soldiers stepped forward and didn't say a word, but the ghost Taoist told the other party's merits and demerits, and finally announced the reward and punishment method. After the announcement, four ghosts stepped forward, rewarded with meritorious service, and punished with meritorious deeds, but regardless of merit or demerits, they would all be taken into the wing room behind the bone chair.
Others are like Cheng Ling, asking some questions, but in the same way, the ghost Taoist will still evaluate the merits and demerits of the inquirer, and finally tell them the answer.
Cheng Ling and Su Yi secretly smacked their tongues when they saw it, this ghost Taoist has so much power, and he can judge life and death with one word. The three of them are impostors, and I hope not to be seen through by the other party.
After a while, it was finally Cheng Ling's turn. He took a step forward and said, "Lord Ghost Dao, the villain wants to ask a few questions!"
The ghost Taoist's eyes were slightly closed, and he glanced up at Cheng Ling after hearing the voice. But when I saw it, I let out a soft "huh".
Cheng Ling's heart was beating rapidly, couldn't he be seen through by the other party at such a glance? Do you want to do it, if the soft one doesn't work, you will come to the hard one, just restrain him, and don't be afraid that the other party will not tell the truth.
But seeing that the aura of the ghost Daoist is blurry, I can't see what realm it is, plus there are so many yin spirits in the palace, what if there is a conflict?
He hesitated in his heart, and was about to make up his mind, but the ghost Taoist said, "Come with me!" After saying that, he straightened up and walked towards the portal behind him.
Cheng Ling was stunned for a moment, not knowing what trick the other party was playing, whether to enter or not?
The four ghosts saw Cheng Ling standing in place and hurriedly reminded: "That guy, Lord Ghost Dao let you in, what are you still in a daze!"
Cheng Ling turned her head and glanced at Yang Hongqiu and Su Yi, the former nodded slightly, and said softly: "It's okay, the master can still bear it!" She knew Cheng Ling's temperament, and she would definitely not give up easily, and now she went back to ask for her opinion, but she was afraid that something would happen.
Seeing Yang Hongqiu's resolute attitude, Cheng Ling put his mind at ease, gritted his teeth, and walked into the portal behind the bone chair.
When you enter the portal, you will see a secret room in front of you. There was only one stone table and two bone chairs in the secret room, and the rest were gone, and the ghost Taoist was sitting on one of the bone chairs, looking at himself indifferently.
Cheng Ling took a deep breath, stepped forward slowly, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord Ghost Dao, the villain wants to know where to find the Soul Restoration Grass and the Yin Yang Grass!"
The ghost Taoist smiled slightly, looked him up and down, and then said unhurriedly: "Are you for the woman behind you? ”
Cheng Ling was shocked and said, "Exactly!"
"You're not a Yin Spirit, you're a Human Monk. Can you tell me where you came from?"
Cheng Ling suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and her luck feet were ready to flee at any time.
The ghost Taoist seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "You don't need to be nervous, it's not a strange thing for a human monk to come to the Netherworld, it's just that it's been many years, and I haven't seen it for a long time." Therefore, the old man had some curiosity. ”
"Besides, your current cultivation is not enough! if you want to do it, you can't leave this secret room at all!"
Cheng Ling disagreed, but the more he despised himself, the better it would be for him. Since they asked, he also begged him, so he said: "I am from the Star Realm, and this trip is precisely because the soul of the family teacher is damaged, so I want to help her heal her injuries." ”
"Oh, look at the herb you asked, it's the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill. Yes, it does help the soul damage greatly, you are the Spirit Pill Grandmaster?"
"Don't dare, it's just a first glimpse of the door!"
"Hehe~, the young man is very modest! In this case, the old man can tell you the whereabouts of the Soul Restoration Grass, but there is also a condition, I hope you can help. ”
"Senior, please speak!"
"The Soul Restoration Grass can be found in the upper reaches of the Water of Lethe River, but you have to help the old man catch the ten Yin Souls who escaped from the underworld, and after the deed is completed, it will not only tell you the whereabouts of the Yin Yang Grass, but also give you unexpected benefits!"
Cheng Ling was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Ghost Dao, I will do my best!"
"Hehe~!, declare in advance, those ten Yin Souls are not simple goods, at least fifth-level ghost soldiers, according to your spirit world, at least the Nine-Star Land Fairyland. ”
"If you can defeat it, the old man will keep his promise, and you can also collect some of the souls to make up for the loss of her soul. But if it can't be defeated, then there is no way, this is the Netherworld, which is in charge of the life and death of all creatures in heaven and earth, and after defeat, it will directly become the Yin Spirit of the Netherworld!"
