The Taoist went to the coffin shop in the town below the mountain and bought a coffin and put it in the bedroom, and sat in it every day when he wanted to meditate or rest, and if he suddenly died one day, he could also bury it on the spot, saving a lot of things, and the two apprentices might also think that their master was very witty.

The Taoist chief once said to these two apprentices that an immortal like him would not become a ghost when he died, but would only come from where he would be, turn into aura and dissipate in heaven and earth. Shen Tu said that it was no wonder that he had never seen an immortal in his underworld, and Yun Xian burst into tears before he could finish listening, so that the Taoist had to stop and coax her.

Maybe it's because he changed his fate. The immortals are tribulated, but they are a few hundred years old. Now that the number of lives has changed, everything has become uncertain. The Taoist chief has never felt this way, he used to go down to everything to be pure, and felt that he had lived long enough to die a proper life. Now that I have two apprentices, I can't wait to live one more day.

Now I live for others.

It's summer, and the heat is scorching. In the pond of the back mountain, there are pavilions of lotus leaves, and occasionally the wind blows, dumping them in all directions. The lotus flowers are bustling among the lotus leaves, and if you look closely, there are several small lotus fairies hiding among the leaves, and from time to time let out a few cute chuckles. Suddenly, as if frightened, they flew back to the bottom of the petals, and only poked out half of their heads to peek.

Ripples rippled on the water, and a small wooden boat slowly squeezed out from the lotus leaf. Yun casually carried a lotus leaf on the top of his head, and sat cross-legged in the boat peeling lotus seeds, and after a while, he peeled a pocket. Shen Tu was paddling, but when he reached the middle of the pond, he stopped and sat down beside Yun Shu, letting the boat float freely.

Lotus leaves are everywhere, casting a green shade on the boat. They sat like this, barely visible from a distance.

Yun casually peeled off a lotus seed, and she raised the lotus seed to the mouth of the god: "Senior brother, open your mouth, ah-"

She often likes to feed others like this, and Shen Tu was embarrassed at first, but now she is used to it. In the mouth, the taste of lotus seeds is bitter and slightly sweet. He thought it was a strange feeling, so he peeled it off and tasted it himself.

"That's enough...... Ah, junior brother, don't eat any more, and take it back to make porridge and drink!" Yun casually reached out and patted Shen Di's hand lightly, causing the latter to laugh softly. So she looked even more angry: "Master asked you to copy the Jingjing Sutra a hundred times, but you didn't finish copying it! I will punish you next time, and I will punish you ......."

At the end of the day, she didn't say anything to be punished, but began to mumble herself. The boat under him swayed gently, like a cradle, making people want to sleep. Shen Tu then said casually to the clouds, "Look at the fish over there!"

"What!" she immediately turned her head, but he gently pinched the back of her neck, and she immediately lost consciousness and fell on top of him.

Shen Tu gently put the clouds away at will, and called softly to the surface of the water: "Cui Juan?"

The wind seemed to be blowing from all directions, and the heat disappeared by half at once. There were waves in the water, and in a short time a young man stood up wet from the water, squinting and smiling at him.

"Eh, little ghost king, your place is a little too hard to find, but fortunately this is a pond, if you go to plow the ground one day, I will have to get out of the mud!"

The person's surname is Cui Mingjue, Zi Ziyu, and he is a judge of the underworld. As long as Shen Tu is not there, he and Wei Ju are basically in charge of the big and small affairs of the underworld, and they are the most familiar people in the underworld.

"Cui Juan, is there something wrong?

Cui Jue stroked the water on his face, and seemed to think it was interesting to stand in the water, so he talked to him like this, and he didn't plan to come ashore: "Don't make me look like a plague god, I'll report my worries as soon as I come—this mortal world is really hot—hey! Who is this?"

If the Taoist chief was here, he would definitely sigh that most of the words of the gods were learned from this Cui Jue, and they had reached the point where the blue was better than the blue. As soon as Shen Tu heard that he had led his words to Yun Xian's body, he immediately came to his senses, and he didn't care what he was talking about: "She is my senior sister, and she is a very good-looking little girl!"

"Oh? yes, I'm going to take a look. Cui Jue said, took a few steps in the water with difficulty, took a closer look at the edge of the boat, and said with a smile: "You don't know how angry Wei Juan was after you said that you worshipped a master in the mortal world, he didn't give a good face for a whole day." I didn't expect you to be a junior brother and not a senior brother, don't let him hear this. ”

Shen Tu said seriously: "I know that Wei Juan is just worried about me. You go back and tell him that Master and Sister are very good to me. I remember it was raining very hard that day, and I was going to look for those disappeared spirits, but I saw her on the street, and you didn't know that she was—"

"Stop, stop!" Cui Jue laughed again: "I was almost surrounded by you, I came to get down to business." Wei Ju's original words were like this: 'Hmph, doesn't that little cub like to stay in the yang world, and he just wants him to do the thing in the north!' Originally, I didn't plan to come, but the black and white impermanence is too busy, and the bull head and horse face are too scary, Zhong Tianshi will never talk to me, and the Ten Palaces Hades need no words...... So I came on my own. ”

"North?" asked the god curiously, "What's going on up north?"

Cui Jue just wanted to speak, but Yun on the boat suddenly smacked his lips and let out a few muttered mutters. For a while, the two of them were silent, and even the wind fell silent, and after a long time, Cui Jue continued to answer: "It's in the north, in the northern desert." You just have to go and you'll know. This matter has something to do with you, no one else......"

"Oh you Cui Ziyu!" Shen Di seemed to think of something, ignored the pause in his tone, and said angrily: "Last time, you said that there was a rebellion in the ghost market and let me rush over immediately, but I didn't expect it to be two ghosts fighting in the street, and then there were more and more onlookers, all of whom came to see me!"

He didn't say it was okay, as soon as he said it, Cui Jue patted the water and began to laugh wildly: "Eh, my little highness, they originally wanted to see you!

The ghost market is actually a market and residence in the underworld, because thousands of people die every day, but it still takes time to judge where to go back to reincarnation after taking care of the merits and demerits of these people. So the first ghost king set aside a special place, so that these lonely souls and wild ghosts who didn't have time to reincarnate have a residence, and gradually developed and grew here in the second ghost king, and the scale of the gods here is more than that of the yang world. He is usually busy with things, and he was tricked by Cui Jue to go there only once that day, and he never went there again after escaping from the underworld.

"Alright!" I will believe you for a moment. As long as I go to the Northern Desert and find that it's not two people fighting...... Does it matter?"

He said this, but he still didn't dare to slack off on what Wei Juan commanded. After all, Wei Juan is considered to be a highly respected person in the underworld, so he has to listen to what he says.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Cui Jue let out a few loving smiles. He reached out and patted Shen Tu on the shoulder, and the whole person sank into the water and disappeared without a trace.

It was as if it was summer again, and even the cicadas were clearly audible. Shen Tu looked up at the sun, and gently shook Yun Shu, who was still asleep, and said, "Senior sister, wake up! Master should almost come back from eating full moon wine." I'm going to go back and copy the book. ”

Yun casually opened his eyes in a daze, and wanted to turn over, but suddenly realized that this was on the boat, and suddenly his sleepiness was reduced by half.

"How am I asleep...... she scratched her head as she sat up, apparently not awake yet, staring blankly ahead.

Shen Tu didn't know how to answer, so he deliberately avoided the weight and said lightly: "Okay, I'll row the boat back." Senior sister, when the time comes, Master will ask why we slipped out, can you betray me...... Wait, get your lotus canopy. ”

That being said, it was the Shen Tu who came back with a lot of lotus pods, and it was the Shen Tu who was scolded for sneaking out with his senior sister, and it was the Shen Tu who was added a hundred times to copy the book.

His room was closer to the waterfall, and in the extreme silence he could often hear the sound of water coming from there, so he sat by the window, and with great difficulty copying the book with the sound of the water, the wind, and the birdsong, until finally Yun couldn't bear it at will, and helped him copy the extra hundred times.

Copying and copying, Shendi's pen gradually stagnated. He turned his head to look at Yun Xian, who was sitting next to him and copied the book seriously, and suddenly said, "Senior sister, if you die in the future, will you come to our underworld to do things?"

Yun casually has never had any taboos about these life and death matters, and he will not tell the Dao Chief. She wiped her face full of ink, tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded indifferently: "Okay." But I won't do anything. ”

"It doesn't matter," Shen Tu saw her nod, and quickly memorized this sentence in his heart: "Or, maybe I can press your soul back again, as long as you-"

He was halfway through his speech and didn't go any further. Yun casually didn't listen carefully, but copied the book very carefully, shaking his head while writing.
