Chapter 177: The Soul Returns to the Forgotten River
Ten miles south of the city, Nan Yanxue searched for a long time with the clouds and wind on his back to find a bamboo forest, and the thatched hut of the escapist was located in the bamboo forest, and a little boy of about twelve or thirteen years old saw Nan Yanxue approaching with a person on his back, so he immediately stopped at the door of the courtyard.
"Excuse me, sister, who are you looking for?"
"Cangdao is long. Nan Yanxue remembered that the kind-hearted vendor said that the master here was a Taoist surnamed Cang, with superb medical skills, but there was one thing, that is, his temperament was quite eccentric.
"The Taoist is not here, girl, please go back. β
"But there was someone in the house. Nan Yanxue pointed to the thatched hut that shimmered.
"My sister must have been dazzled, where is there anyone. As soon as the child had finished speaking, the light in the room flickered for a moment, and then darkness became complete.
"My elder brother is seriously ill, and when I heard that the Taoist chief has superb medical skills, I asked my little brother to spread the word. Nan Yanxue bent down with difficulty on her back and bowed, but the child was still unmoved, "Your sister is so strange, I told you that there is no one in the house." β
After saying that, the child turned around and went into the courtyard, and slammed the wooden door of the courtyard shut.
"Cangdao Chief, I know you're inside, please, please save my brother. Nan Yanxue knelt on the ground with Yunfeng and shouted into the house.
"Cangdao Chief, please, please, save him......"
"Please......"
"Please......"
Nan Yanxue cried and shouted, and I don't know how long it took, the child opened the door and ran out with a "squeak", "I told you that there is no one, don't shout anymore." β
After saying that, the child slammed the door and closed the door again, Nan Yanxue got up and wanted to hold the child, but she didn't hold it, and Yunfeng, who was on her back, fell to the ground instead.
"Brother Yunfeng, Brother Yunfeng......" Nan Yanxue nervously held Yunfeng in her arms, she hugged him and cried and laughed, not knowing what to do, the Taoist chief was unwilling to come to the rescue, so she could only find another way.
"Brother Yunfeng, let's go. She tried to get him back on her back, and then moved back step by step, but she had not gone far when the child suddenly opened the door and stopped her, and the faint light in the room came back on.
"My master said to let you in. β
"Thank you...... Thank you!" Nan Yanxue was incoherent with tears in her eyes, but her steps were much faster, she took three steps and made two steps, and carried Yunfeng into the thatched hut.
In the thatched house, a middle-aged man wearing a white Taoist coat is sitting on a straw mat and meditating, in Nan Yanxue's impression, most of those who have attained the Tao are old men with long white beards, this man does not seem to be very old, Nan Yanxue once suspected that there were others in the house, so she looked up and down the small thatched house, left and right, but there was indeed only this man in the house.
"Excuse me, is it the head of Cangdao?" asked Nan Yanxue a little timidly.
"Who is the girl looking for?" the man did not open his eyes.
"I'm looking for the cangdao chief. β
"Then Your Excellency is it. β
"You...... Who are you?"
"What's wrong?"
"I didn't ...... No, please ...... Please save my brother. β
"Brother?" said the chief who opened his eyes and looked at them, then closed them again, "What is the girl in return?"
"I ......" Nan Yanxue remembered that the only pack of gold leaves she had stolen had been given to the innkeeper, and now she had nothing of value on her, but fortunately, her mana had recovered, and it was still easy to steal something valuable.
"You can do whatever you want, as long as you're willing to save him!"
"Anything?"
"Anything!"
"And what if I want your life?
Nan Yanxue was surprised for a moment, she didn't know what she wanted to do, she ran to such a remote town to hide, just to avoid the people of Tianqingmen from finding her, she wanted to be with her Yunfeng brother forever, if she died, how could she be with Yunfeng brother, but now, she looked at Yunfeng on her back, his face was pale, lying on her back silently, she didn't know how long he could last.
"Yes, as long as the Taoist is willing to save him, I am willing to do anything!"
"Are you really willing to do anything?"
"Yes!"
The Taoist slowly opened his eyes after listening to Nan Yanxue's words, he was not alarmist, most of the patients who could find him here were dying people, they often needed to use some extremely precious medicinal materials, and the person who was looking for medicine was likely to take his own life because of this.
The Taoist chief got Nan Yanxue's assurance, so he asked Nan Yanxue to put Yunfeng on the ground, and stretched out his hand to check his pulse, but after finishing it, he frowned and quickly calmed down, "He only has one breath left, and there is no medicine for the medicine, so the girl should prepare for the future." After speaking, the Taoist chief returned to the straw mat and meditated again.
"You talk nonsense, he won't die, please, please, save him! Save him!" Nan Yanxue knelt and crawled to the Taoist Chief's side, pulling his Taoist robe and begging.
"Put, let go, let go......" It was the first time that the chief was pulled by a little girl, and he was a little at a loss in an instant.
"I won't let go!" you save him, save him! I beg you!" Nan Yanxue howled while crying, and the howling Taoist couldn't meditate.
"I said you little girl, it's not that I don't save it, it's that I really can't save it, his soul has been lost, and I want to save him, unless I reunite his soul, but I don't have that ability!"
"How could you not, you are a master! How could you not be......!
"That's all they spread nonsense! I'm just hiding and quiet, you little girl is really crying and I have a headache, don't cry!"
"If you don't save him, I'm going to cry, I cry every day, woo woo woo ......" Nan Yanxue cried louder and louder, and the Taoist chief looked at the door with a broken face, really regretting letting her enter the door.
"You, you, I'm looking at this son's soul has long been classified into the Yellow Spring, don't you want me to go to hell to take people, I'm a Taoist, not a fairy, girl!"
"But I think this son seems to be a cultivator, although his inner pill has been broken, his soul has been lost, but he can still stay a breath, I am afraid that there is some obsession, if he can return his soul to its place, he should be able to save it. Dao Chang held a little beard under his chin, it was the first time he had seen such a patient, if the soul of an ordinary person was no longer there, he would have died a long time ago, that is, this immortal cultivator could still have a breath.
"Then how can I find his soul? Can I find it by going to the underworld?" Nan Yanxue remembered that the snake demon Song Ming used the blood spirit bead to go to the underworld to find Gu Qi'er's soul, but now she doesn't have the blood spirit bead, and she doesn't know how to enter the underworld.
"You can find it if you go to the underworld?" "Dao Chang felt that Nan Yanxue's words were too light, and his tone seemed to be as if he could find it outside the courtyard, "Yes, it is possible to find it when you go to the underworld, but who will find it? You go or I go? I won't go!" Dao Chang shook his head, the air in this small bamboo forest is excellent, he still wants to continue to cultivate here to become an immortal, he will not go to death!
"I'll go!"
"You?" the Taoist chief pointed at Nan Yanxue, with an incredulous expression, this girl is indeed in a commendable spirit, but the so-called ignorant are fearless, she is just ignorant.
I'll go!" Nan Yanxue affirmed again, "I know it's extremely risky, but I'm not afraid, as long as the Dao Leader tells me how to find it!"
"Aren't you afraid of death?
"Don't be afraid! Anyway, Brother Yunfeng is dead, and I won't live!" Nan Yanxue, who was kneeling on the ground, glanced back at Yunfeng, if he died, she would definitely not live alone.
"Hmm...... Let me think about it......" The chief thought while pacing, and when he walked to Nan Yanxue's side, he suddenly grabbed Nan Yanxue's arm, "You are also an immortal cultivator?"
"Huh?" Nan Yanxue looked at him with some confusion.
"You see that you also have Neidan in your body, if you are also an immortal cultivator, you may be able to give it a try. β
"Well, yes, my brother and I are in the same family. Nan Yanxue didn't care so much at this time, she was only glad that she had also stayed in Tianqingmen, and she still had a chance to save Yunfeng.
"Well, then I can help you give it a try, but his soul has returned to Huangquan, where the evil ghost is in charge, the anger is very heavy, there are large areas of flowers on the other side of the Huangquan Road, it is easy to find, at the end of the flower on the other side is the Lechuan River, it is rumored that the water of the Lechuan River is green, and there are lonely souls and wild ghosts that cannot be reincarnated, there are many of them who are willing to stay, just because they still have unfulfilled wishes, this son is still alive, his soul is afraid to stay in the Lechuan River, you can go there to find it. β
"This is the Spirit Pill, after you eat it, you can take your soul to hell, where you can use spells to protect yourself, but there is only a stick of incense, in a stick of incense, if your soul can't jump out of the Lethe River, then it will stay there forever, this son I will use ambergris to protect a stick of incense for a breath. Dao Chang said and handed Nan Yanxue a black pill.
Nan Yanxue took the pill and glanced at Yun Feng, and swallowed it without hesitation, without him, what is the point of her life, no matter where she is, she will find him back.
"Brother Yunfeng, wait for me. Nan Yanxue said and slowly lost consciousness, and after a while, her soul came to a dark place, surrounded by a pair of green eyes staring at her, Nan Yanxue hugged her arms and tried to curl herself up.
"Huh...... Huh~" The surrounding sounds came and went, Nan Yanxue closed her eyes in fright and didn't dare to look, "Don't come! Don't come!" she whispered in a trembling voice, but the soul full of grief passed through her with a "bang", and Nan Yanxue was knocked to the ground.
The soul was just a temptation, and seeing that she didn't dare to resist, more lonely souls and wild ghosts rushed over at once, and if they could devour the fresh souls, they would go faster on the Yellow Springs Road.
"Don't come here! Don't come here!" Nan Yanxue, who was extremely frightened, waved her hands and stood up suddenly, and a blue light instantly scattered those souls.
It was the Azure Gate spell, Nan Yanxue was a little excited, she hadn't forgotten all those spells, although she was not good at learning back then, but now she can still protect herself.
With the previous experience, the rest of the road was much smoother, but Nan Yanxue searched for a long time and didn't find the place full of flowers on the other side, and then she had to stop a soul that had not yet dispersed and asked, "Where are the flowers on the other side, and where is the Lechuan River?"
"There are no other flowers here, and if you walk along here, you will see the Lethe River. The soul said faintly, and after speaking, he floated in the direction of the Nai He Bridge.
Nan Yanxue can only follow the soul all the way to find the past, but in the end the soul left from the bridge, but she chose to come to the Lechuan River, the river of the Lechuan River is not the green that Cangdao Chang said, but blood yellow, inside are all lonely souls and wild ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, they are either waiting for people, or can not forget the lover of the previous life, and choose to stay voluntarily, there are many insects and snakes on the river, the fishy wind blows, even the lonely soul and wild ghosts do not want to stay here, Nan Yanxue smells the smell not only retching, the soul in the river also tries to reach out and want to pull her into the riverγ
"Brother Yunfeng!" Nan Yanxue jumped into the Lechuan River, and a bone-eating pain immediately hit her, and her soul not only shivered, but at the bottom of the river, the ghost who had been wandering here for thousands of years even stretched out her ghost hand, wanting to pull Nan Yanxue into the bottom of the river. Nan Yanxue could only struggle and walk inside.
Walking to the middle of the river, because there were more souls gathered in the middle, the anger was heavier, and the corrosion was the greatest, those new souls hid aside and did not dare to come, Nan Yanxue could only clench his fists, endure the severe pain, and shouted as he walked: "Brother Yunfeng, Brother Yunfeng, ...... Yunfeng"
"Brother Yunfeng, where are you?"
"You answer me!"
"Brother Yunfeng, you answer me!"
"Brother Yunfeng......" She cried as she walked, a tear even dripped into the Lechuan River, the surrounding souls were terrified, and instantly dissipated to the surroundings, they were the first time to see the souls crying, and they didn't dare to approach her anymore in shock.
Everyone
