Chapter 155: Soul Hooker
The sea dragon walked slowly with the Yin ghost pawn, and after walking not far away, he suddenly saw a group of people dressed in white, with their heads down and slowly moving forward, and the strange thing was that their feet were about three inches from the ground, floating forward. Without waiting for Hailong to ask, the Yin ghost pawn took the initiative to say: These are ordinary Yin Cao ghosts, they are all from the human world, they have already drunk Meng Po soup when they came to our underworld from Huangquan Road, and they have no memory, only the spells imposed on them by the judges will gather together on their own and go to hell to suffer.
The sea dragon said suspiciously: Does every imp have to suffer? Isn't that unfair to them? For example, if a good person dies, he has to go to hell to suffer, isn't it appropriate?
The ghost pawn sighed and said, "You don't understand this, there is a deep meaning in letting them go to the eighteenth layer of hell to suffer. Every ghost has to suffer in our underworld, and that is to hone their soul, otherwise, after entering the river of reincarnation, they will not be able to endure the suffering of reincarnation at all, and once their souls are scattered, they will never be reincarnated as a human being. Therefore, it is for their good that the underworld makes them suffer. What's more, ordinary imps only suffer in the first three layers of hell, and as long as they endure that kind of pain, after a period of training, it is still relatively easy to bear. Only those who are heinous on earth will suffer in a deeper hell. You know, the eighteen layers of hell are more terrifying than the other.
The sea dragon said in understanding: "So that's the case, so don't I need to go to the eighteen layers of hell to suffer?"
The ghost pawn shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but you have become a soul seducer. I don't think I should need it, it's better not to go to that place on the eighteenth floor of hell. Look, here we are, that's where Judge Cui Yu is. He pointed to the ground and there were a lot of unjust souls, one by one, constantly floating in his direction.
The ghost pawn sighed and said: In our underworld, the hardest one is Judge Cui Yu. He hardly had a time to rest, and every soul had to go through his life and death book to determine how many layers the person should go down to resist and whether he deserved to die. And our task is much easier. Only those who have not yet reached the end of their lives will be directly reincarnated by us through the reincarnation river and to the reincarnation pool to help them reincarnate directly, I am afraid that one out of 10,000 souls will be good, so most of our time is leisure, let's go, I will take you over to report.
The sea dragon followed the ghost pawn through the spirit, and after a while, they came to a bridge. In the distance of the bridge was a hazy gray mist, from which the souls came in an orderly manner. In the middle of the bridge. A man in a white robe and a scholar's scarf on his head held a large book in one hand, and every soul that came to him had to stop for a moment, and he looked through the book. Only then would it be let through, and next to the man in white, there were seven or eight ghost pawns in the same costume as the Yin ghost pawn, as if waiting for the order of the man in white.
The sea dragon followed the Siyin ghost pawn to the bridge, and the Siyin ghost pawn walked to the white-clothed man, and said respectfully: "Lord Judge, Lord Ghost King ordered me to bring a new ghost pawn for you to send.
Cui Yu didn't say anything, just glanced back at Hailong, and Hailong clearly saw that this person's face was like a crown of jade, and he was actually a beautiful man. As soon as the Siyin ghost pawn pulled the sea dragon, he stood at the end of the ghost pawn, and said in a low voice: We can guard this here, every thousand souls, one of us ghost pawns can go to rest, you see, I am the ninth, you are the tenth, that is, it will take about 10,000 souls before it is your turn. It's okay anyway, just close your eyes and recuperate. After saying that, he stopped saying a word, and stood there motionless. The bodies of all the ghost pawns were wrapped in heavy armor, and the helmets of the heavy armor concealed their faces, and they stood there, barely recognizable.
The heavy armor on his body gradually made the sea dragon a little overwhelmed, and after a while, he suddenly discovered a wonderful point, if the posture is correct, the armor can support each other, that is, as long as the posture remains the same, he can not bear the weight of the armor. This discovery made the sea dragon excited, at least, it didn't have to work so hard.
Everything in the underworld was new to the sea dragon, but he never thought that he would stay here for too long, after all, he had to go back to the fairy world and meet his beloved wives. Standing anyway, standing is also standing, the sea dragon slowly closed his eyes to feel the chaotic qi in his body. He knew very well that the chaotic qi was only sealed, but it did not disappear. However, when he wanted to stare inwardly, he was surprised to find that he had lost the ability to look inward, and when he closed his eyes, it was pitch black, and he could faintly hear his own heartbeat, and there was nothing.
But the sea dragon was not discouraged in the slightest, since he couldn't find the chaotic qi, then he simply started from scratch, anyway, when he first entered the cultivation realm, didn't he know nothing? He was full of confidence in himself, thinking back to the past, and in the end, he chose the cultivation route of the chaotic qi.
The cultivation method of the sea dragon is very simple, but also very difficult, he concentrates his mental power in his dantian, and then his mind rises from the dantian, and with a deep memory to find the previous cultivation route and walk, the mind has always maintained a high degree of concentration, constantly going up the meridians, when he completed a wandering of the mind, he found that his body has been soaked with sweat, and his spirit has reached a state of extreme exhaustion, but there is not even a trace of the chaotic qi. Hailong closed his eyes and rested, of course he would not give up, he believed that there was nothing difficult in the world, but he was afraid of people with hearts. Perhaps the path you have chosen is the most tortuous, but as long as you keep going, you will definitely have results. The recovery of the spirit is very slow, and the sea dragon has to control his body to prevent it from falling, and it is not easy to concentrate enough mental power to walk around the meridians. There is no time in the underworld, and when Cui Yu has reviewed a thousand souls and a ghost pawn goes down to rest, the sea dragon can accumulate enough spiritual power.
Unconsciously, the sea dragon's mental power had already walked eight times in his body according to the cultivation method of chaotic qi, and the eight ghost pawns in front of him had already gone to rest. There are eight more in the sea dragon's skill, and he secretly calculates that each ghost pawn can only rest after passing through 10,000 souls, and the rest time is about 10,000 souls. And so on and so forth.
The Siyin ghost pawn was already at the forefront at this time, and the sea dragon was already sweating profusely at this time, and he had completed the ninth mental power run and began to recuperate. The ghost pawn turned his head and said in a low voice: Hailong, don't sleep, after I leave later, you will be left to watch, if Judge Cui Yu finds out that you are sleeping, I am afraid that there will be a very severe punishment.
Hearing his words, Hailong couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be people in the underworld who cared so much about him. He nodded slightly. As soon as his neck moved, he found out. My body was already a little stiff. At this moment, Cui Yu, who had been flipping through the book, suddenly sighed softly and said to a soul in front of him: Your yang life is not over, I will order someone to take you back to yang. After speaking, he turned his head to look at the ghost pawn of Siyin, then looked at the sea dragon, and said: Siyin, you take this new ghost pawn to recognize the road together, so that he will not be able to find it in the future. Then you don't have to come.
The ghost pawn said respectfully: Yes, Judge. In a low voice, he said to the soul, follow me back to the yang. After speaking, when he walked in front and went under the bridge, the sea dragon did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly dragged his stiff body to chase after him, and the two walked slowly with their souls, got off the bridge, and walked along a winding path.
The ghost pawn smiled and said to the sea dragon: "Brother, I didn't expect us to rest together." You'll have to memorize this path, and in the future, this will be the path you'll often have to take. In fact, it is still very easy to walk from here to the reincarnation pool, there is only one way. The two walked forward, the scenery in front of them gradually changed, layers of fog dissipated, and a huge abyss was revealed not far away, next to the abyss stood ten ghost pawns like the two of them, a person in red clothes like Cui Yu, flipping through the book in his hand, beside him, there were white ragged souls.
The Yin ghost pawn said in a low voice: This is the place of reincarnation, all the imps who have been baptized by the punishment of the Jin Kingdom in the eighteen layers of hell will gather here when they reach the reincarnation period, jump into the reincarnation and reincarnate again, as for what the reincarnation becomes, it depends on how he was in his previous life. If you accumulate a lot of blessings in your previous life, you may even be reincarnated as an immortal or ascend to the Buddha realm, which is the best destination for the Yin Cao imp, but this is not even a 1 in 100,000 chance. Most of the imps return to the human realm, and some of those who have done evil things in their previous lives will be reincarnated into the animal path and become beasts in the human realm. It is said that there are also reincarnated to enter the underworld and the demon world, but I don't know the specifics.
A hint of enlightenment suddenly rose in Hai Long's heart, and he understood that the reason why the Difu was transcendent was probably the most important thing was because it was a transit station in the Six Realms, and it was also the foundation of the Six Realms.
The Siyin ghost pawn touched the sea dragon and said, "Let's go quickly, and after sending this soul that has not been finished with yang life to return to yang, we can go back to rest." As he spoke, the two of them led the soul along a path next to the abyss of reincarnation, and after walking for a while, when the sea dragon felt that his whole body had become sour and weak, the Yin ghost pawn finally stopped.
The sound of gurgling water came into the ears of the sea dragon, he stared at it, and was surprised to find that there was a black hill in front of him, a small waterfall only about ten meters high constantly had white water sliding down, and under the hill converged into a pool of blue water, the waterhole was crystal clear, and it looked so pure. The ghost pawn smiled and said: "I'm surprised, this is the most beautiful place in our underworld, the reincarnation pool." He turned his head and pushed the soul, and drank down: Go, return to the sun, and be human again. The body of the soul floated up and slowly fell into the pool of water, without even a splash, and the soul turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared. The ghost pawn clapped his hands and said with satisfaction: The task is complete. As long as you pass through the reincarnation pool, you can be restored to what you were before coming to the underworld. Sea Dragon, when you are allowed to enter here, you will be able to become an immortal again, and even your mana can be restored.
The sea dragon's heart was shocked, the way back to the fairy world was so close to him, as long as a few steps away, he could go back, he vigilantly glanced at the Yin ghost pawn beside him, and secretly moved a step forward, as if he didn't see it, his eyes were looking at something on the side. Hailong asked: "Brother Siyin, are you saying that as long as you jump into this pool, you will definitely be able to return to your original world, and nothing will change?"
The ghost pawn nodded and said, "Yes, this is the place that the soul yearns for the most, but I don't want to go back, what's good in the world, it's better to be my soul messenger."
The sea dragon took another step forward, and suddenly, he took advantage of the fact that the ghost pawn was not paying attention, and ran towards the reincarnation pool with all his strength. The ghost pawn didn't chase him, and his eyes hidden under the heavy armor revealed a hint of coldness. A few steps away, in the blink of an eye, just as the sea dragon ran to the reincarnation pool, he suddenly stopped his figure. Heaven and man are at war in their hearts, to jump or not to jump?
As long as you jump, you can return to the fairy world, you can go to find the ethereal and shadow, as long as you jump, you will become a powerful immortal again instead of a ghost pawn in the underworld. But can I really jump? If I do, I'm afraid I'll never be able to return to the underworld, and I'll never be able to get the underworld's mastery. However, how much I want to see Ethereal as soon as possible!
The voice of the ghost pawn came from behind: Sea Dragon, you don't want to jump. This is against the rules of the prefecture. It's still too late to come back now.
The sea dragon turned around, smiled slightly, and said: How come? I can't jump, I am already a soul envoy in the underworld, so naturally I have to abide by all the rules of the underworld, I just want to see if there are any swimming fish in this reincarnation pool. In an instant, he had already thought clearly, he decided not to jump, if the two feelings are in the twilight for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight, for the sake of the long term in the future, now he can only choose to separate, he must rely on his own strength to break through the shackles, meet the requirements of the master and then return to the fairy world, at that time, his strength will definitely improve a level.
There was a glint of relief in his eyes behind the helmet of the Yin Yin Ghost Pawn, and he said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the Yin Yang Tower, and then you and I can go back to my place to rest." ”
The sea dragon walked back to the side of the Yin Ghost Pawn and said suspiciously, "Yin Yang Tower, what is that place?"
The Yin and Yang Ghost said: "Although we ghosts don't eat, we will also feel tired, and the Yin and Yang Pagoda is made by absorbing the Yin and Yang Qi in the Six Realms, where we can quickly recover our strength." Every time a mission is completed, the people in the underworld at the level of the Soul Envoy or above have to go there once in order to recover themselves. When you get there, you won't feel tired. ”
The sea dragon was already a little accustomed to the differences between the underworld and the immortals and the human worlds, and under the leadership of the Siyin ghost, he dragged his tired body back the same way, and along the way, he found that the road to the underworld was not so complicated. Everything has a context to be found, and he struggles to remember these paths, after all, he is afraid that he will have to live in this world for a long time.
After walking for a short time, the sea dragon finally couldn't hold on anymore, the situation of the ghost pawn was obviously much better than him, and he volunteered to carry the sea dragon on his back, and walked to the depths of the underworld by bearing the weight of two people.
At first, the sea dragon could still keep his mind clear and remember the road, but he was too tired during this time to finally hold on and fell asleep behind the ghost pawn.
I don't know how long it took, the sea dragon was awakened by the ghost pawn of Siyin, he found that he had come to another place, there were many ghost pawns gathered together in groups of three or five around, but there were not many people talking to each other, and not far ahead, a pagoda with only three floors appeared in the field of vision, this pagoda was simply too small compared to the ten thousand demon towers of the demon world, and the three-story pagoda added up was only about ten meters high. The pagoda is surrounded by a courtyard wall. There were a few ghost pawns lined up outside the gate, and every time a ghost pawn walked out of the gate on the other side, one would be put in this side. And the ghosts who came out gathered together, standing or sitting. are all resting. The Yin ghost said: "This is the Yin Yang Tower, we are already queuing, we can enter after a while." ”
The team was arranged very neatly, and it was also very orderly, and sure enough, as the Siyin ghost pawn said, it was indeed only a moment before it was their turn, and with the support of the Siyin ghost pawn, the sea dragon walked into the Yin Yang Tower. As soon as he stepped through the gate, he couldn't wait to walk towards the Yin-Yang Tower. The ghost pawn grabbed him and said, "What are you going to do?"
The sea dragon is a flute. Said: "Didn't you say that you can recover your strength in the Yin-Yang Tower? I'm dying of exhaustion. ”
Ji Yin Ghost Pawn smiled: "Look at it." around, who looks like you. This courtyard is within the scope of the Yin-Yang Tower, so you just need to wait. ”
The sea dragon looked around, and sure enough. The ghost pawns were all standing in the courtyard, because his impulse just now had attracted the attention of all the ghost pawns, everyone's heads with heavy armor helmets were facing his direction, just when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw a faint red mist gushing out of the Yin Yang Tower, and in the blink of an eye, the bodies of most of the ghost pawns present had been enveloped, including him and the Siyin ghost pawns. The sea dragon only felt a burst of refreshment all over his body, not only did his physical strength fully recover, but even his spirit reached the best state.
The Siyin ghost pawn stretched his body, patted the sea dragon's shoulder, and said, "How is it, it's comfortable now." ”
"It was really comfortable. It turns out that there is such a magical place, if there is also this good place in the fairy world, how good it would be!"
The Yin and Yang Ghost Pawn smiled and said, "The Yin Yang Pagoda is unique to our Yama Underworld. Let's go, there are still a lot of brothers in line behind. The two walked out of the courtyard together. The recovery of his physical strength and spirit made Hailong feel refreshed for a while, and he suddenly felt that his life in the underworld was not so sad.
The ghost pawn said: "Let's go, go to my haunted house, the ghost king has instructed me before, and you will live with me in the future." As he spoke, he took off his heavy armor and didn't know where he was hiding with his mana. "Brother, you have just become a soul envoy, and you can't take off your heavy armor for five years, so you should be patient. ”
Hailong's physical strength and spirit recovered at this time, and he was in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, even if it's a kind of training." Let's go and see where you are, and you promised to teach me the Horror Palm. Good brother, thank you for taking care of you during this time. ”
The ghost of Siyin paused for a moment and said, "What do you call me?"
"Good brother, I'm not familiar with anything in the underworld, you've been helping me, is it wrong for me to treat you as a brother?" said the sea dragon, hugging the shoulders of the Yin Ghost Pawn.
There was a strange expression on his face, "Brother, brother, no one has called me that for many years. ”
Hailong laughed and said, "What? Don't you want to recognize me as a brother? No matter what we used to be, we are now the soul envoys of the underworld, and we will live together again, anyway, I already treat you as a brother." ”
The face of the Siyin ghost pawn changed back to normal, and he put his backhand around Hailong's shoulder, and said, "Okay, brother, we are brothers." I've got a brother, haha. Let's go, I'll teach you to go. ”
Day by day, there is no day and night in the underworld, according to the Yin ghost soldier told Hailong, he has been in the underworld for a year. During this year, Hailong had become familiar with life here, and every once in a while, he would go to the bridge for Cui Yu to drive with the ghosts of Siyin, which was called the Bridge of the Afterlife. In fact, every time they are tasked with standing there. In the past year, there have only been three sea dragons who have sent their souls to the reincarnation pool to return to the sun. He has now given up the heart to go back through the reincarnation pool, and stayed in the underworld wholeheartedly, because, just a month ago, after his unremitting efforts every day, under the continuous operation of the mental power, he finally felt a trace of chaotic qi, although it was only a small trace, but it made the sea dragon happy in his heart, and his confidence was also strengthened a lot, and he spent more time on the operation of the mental power every day. Now, a year later, every time I go on a mission on the Bridge of the Dead. He had already been able to urge his mental power to follow the path of Chaos Qi cultivation for more than three hundred turns, and the sea dragon clearly found that his spiritual power had made great progress in this year. After discovering that a trace of chaotic qi appeared in his body, after the last month of the year's efforts. The feeling of the chaotic aura became clearer.
Got off the Bridge of the Dead. The sea dragon walked briskly towards his "home", he and the ghost pawn were the only two of them in the haunted house, which was made of unknown stone and was very strong. Except for a little cold, there is nothing special about it. The happiest thing for the sea dragon to feel every day now is to go to the Yin-Yang Pagoda to regain his strength and spirit. Every time before he entered the tower, he used his mind to urge his trace of chaotic qi to run rapidly, and he would go in after his spirit was exhausted. If it weren't for the fact that the Yin Yin Ghost Pawn had warned him that he would only be able to go to the Yin Yang Pagoda once in a while, he would really want to spend it there. If you can ignore the consumption of mental power and cultivate chaotic qi, the speed of mana progress will definitely be much faster.
Repeating his daily cultivation in the Yin-Yang Tower, the sea dragon walked out of the courtyard refreshed, strode towards his haunted house, and just walked not far from the haunted house. He saw the ghost pawn alone there in a daze, and hurriedly lightened his steps. When he was still three meters away from the Yin Ghost Pawn, he jumped up violently and shouted, "Look at the palm." His body accelerated in the air, and he slapped his palm on the shoulder of the Yin Ghost Pawn. The ghost pawn did not look back. Take a step to the left, turn around in a strange shape, and slap the sea dragon with a backhand, the sea dragon can't even block it, a dark green light suddenly appeared on his right hand, and pressed on the shoulder of the Siyin ghost pawn, and the two hit each other almost at the same time, but the sea dragon did not move, the Siyin ghost pawn screamed in pain, fell back a few steps before standing firm, and said angrily: "You are small and sneak attack me, relying on the heavy armor on your body, I also have it." With that, he quickly put on his heavy armor and pounced on the sea dragon.
Dressed in heavy armor, both of them looked bulky, but the palm gestures they used still showed a hint of weirdness. The Soul Palm is the magic of the Soul Envoy and above in the underworld, there is no fixed move, every palm issued, can concentrate the ghost energy, and give the opponent the strongest lethality from a tricky angle.
After practicing for a year, the sea dragon has long been familiar with this set of frightened palms without fixed moves, and with his extraordinary talent, he has already comprehended the method of attacking the enemy with the terrifying palms to absorb the ghost qi of the underworld, although he has only been in the underworld for a year, but his strength is not much weaker than the ghost pawn of the underworld. The two are used to making trouble, and every time they meet, they have to fight with the frightening palm before they can be willing.
The sea dragon knew very well that his Soul Palm was improving almost every day, and when he was on a mission at the Bridge of Death, in addition to using his mental power to urge the chaotic qi, the rest of his energy was spent on pondering the Soul Palm, so he made rapid progress, but the strange thing was that no matter how fast he progressed, the Siyin Ghost Pawn was always able to maintain the same level with him, and he fought so many times, and the result was the same every time - a tie. The sea dragon had doubted and tried, but nothing had come of it, and later, when he accidentally discovered that the Siyin ghost pawn was also cultivating hard, his heart was relieved.
"Fuck it, Sea Dragon, you're too heavy. The ghost pawn sat down on the ground tiredly, and said angrily. The sea dragon was not much stronger than him, sitting beside him and constantly gasping, "You have light hands? If you admit it, won't I let you go?"
The ghost pawn snorted and said quietly: "It's up to you, I still want this ambassador to admit defeat, don't dream." If you are not convinced, let's fight hard with a five-strand steel fork. ”
The sea dragon gave him a blank look, his body fell back, and he just lay on the ground, and said, "You are amazing, as long as you can still stand in front of me with the five-strand steel fork now, I will admit defeat." ”
The ghost of Siyin paused for a moment, and also learned to lie down like a sea dragon, smiled hehe, and said, "I really don't have much strength now." It seems that our brothers' mana is really about the same. Oh, by the way, there's going to be a sentencing conference in a few days, are you going to participate? This time, I'm sure I can do it. ”
Hailong shook his eyes and said, "What is the Judgment Promotion? Why haven't I heard you say it before?" ”
The ghost pawn smiled mysteriously and said, "This promotion meeting is only once in a long time, didn't I tell you? Hehe, that's really negligent." The promotion conference is specially held for us soul envoys, and the top ten of each conference can be promoted to the prefectural judge, that is, one level higher than us, and when we reach the judge level, we don't have to be as busy as the messenger, and after being promoted to the judge, the above will also approve us to cultivate for a period of time, and we don't need to perform tasks every day. Now the thought of the benefits of being a judge makes me drool. ”
Hailong's heart moved, and he asked, "Then after becoming a judge of the underworld, will you be able to learn other underworld stunts?"
The Siyin Ghost Pawn said in a low voice: "There are a lot of things that can be learned! As soul seducers, we can only learn the most basic soul palm now, and when we reach the judge level, we can learn a lot more." The most useful thing is that we dodge the spell ghost shadow trace, once this ghost shadow trace technique is learned, we don't have to worry about it in the future, and our strength can definitely climb to a level. Then you can also learn the basics of Qi Gathering and Soul Hooking, as well as the Mourning Stick. The judge doesn't have to hold this broken steel fork, and each judge will hand out a mourning stick, which feels really majestic. ”
Listening to the longing voice of the ghost pawn, Hailong laughed in his heart, and secretly thought, if you see my golden hoop stick, I don't know what to envy. However, it seems that it is a good choice to be a judge of the underworld, at least I can finally learn the first expected spell Crying Stick, as for the ghost shadow trace, qi duel and soul hooking technique, it doesn't matter, once my chaotic qi is restored, there is no need for these at all, the somersault cloud is definitely much stronger than the ghost shadow trace. Thinking of this, Hailong sat up, "Brother Siyin, where can I sign up for the promotion conference, I want to participate too." Didn't you always think that you were the best among the soul seducers, your brother and I are at the same level as you, if you can be promoted, I will definitely be able to be promoted. ”
The ghost pawn smiled and said, "You are so young, I knew that you would be tempted, and I have already signed up for you, and the preliminary round of the promotion competition will be held tomorrow." The first ten rounds are all elimination. If you lose, you will directly lose the opportunity, and if you win, you will advance, that is, if you want to be promoted, you must win at least ten games in a row. Anyway, I'm your big brother, don't embarrass me!"
Hailong suddenly thought of a question, and said suspiciously: "Brother Siyin, ten rounds of elimination?
