Chapter 13: The Netherworld
"The fourth brother came out this time, in addition to sending pills to fellow Daoists, there is another purpose. ”
"Ao, what did the second brother say?" "It's getting closer and closer to the Emei Golden Dome Trade Fair, and my brother plans to refine a pair of Soul Awakening Pills that are useful to the monks of the Jiedan, in exchange for the pure yang water needed to impact the Jiedan, but there is still a lack of the main medicine" "Yes, if the second brother is ready to impact the Jiedan, he should be prepared now, but I don't know what kind of pill this Soul Awakening Pill is, and what is this pure yang water?"
"Awakening Pill is a kind of elixir that stabilizes the soul, as the name suggests, it has the effect of awakening the soul, but this elixir is not a pill that is often taken, but in the single monk whose soul is severely injured, or the practice of going mad into the devil to save his life, it is just the opposite of the way to take the Qing Ning Dan, one is taken before the usual practice has the effect of calming the mind and calming the qi, preventing the occurrence of the demons, and the other is taken when the soul is severely injured or the demons have occurred, which can be used by the monks to stabilize the soul and not be eroded by the demons. When it matters, you can save a small life. And this pure yang water is the use of my impact on the knot pill to quench the yuan dan in the body, generally the monk who has just condensed the yuan dan is not stable in the body, and there is often the danger of breaking the dan falling into the realm, if you use this pure yang water to quench it, it will naturally be much more stable. ”
"Tongzhi Daoist has already formed a Dan, is it difficult that he doesn't have pure yang water? Can't you just change it with him?" "Because the exercises practiced by Tongzhi Daoyou are too cold, you don't need pure yang water when you hit the Dan. ”
"Then second brother, what kind of medicine are we looking for this time, could it be that there are the medicinal materials you need here?" "Yin Flower" "Yin Flower?" "En, also known as the Flower of the Dead, is a companion of Yin Qi, but it is only available in places where Yin Qi is very strong. Brother Wei came this time to ask Tongzhi Daoyou to help find it. ”
A few days later, when Huang Mei explained her intention to Tongzhi, Tongzhi just nodded and agreed. So the two of them went out of the forbidden cave together with the Daoist.
With Tongzhi's help, the search process was very smooth at the beginning, and the deep Jedi everywhere were turned out by Tongzhi like a few treasures, but the result was not satisfactory, most of these places are generally cemeteries formed in the past few hundred years, and the probability of producing yin flowers is very small, even if there is a year, it is not enough for refining medicine, so everyone has been looking for several days and there is no real harvest.
"Brother Huangmei Dao, there is another place, which is the ancient battlefield left by the Wuyue War in ancient times, 300 kilometers away from here, there must be enough years of Yin flowers, just" "There is also this kind of ancient land, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
"Brother Dao doesn't know, because it is an ancient battlefield, most of the soldiers who died in large numbers still have grievances, so the yin qi that breeds after death is very strong, where did the ancestor once capture a ghost king who cultivated to the middle stage of the knot, and then the sect decided to seal that place, just to see if another ghost king could be born here. No one has been in this place for 800 years, and even the family teacher doesn't know what will be inside, so I can't say that this trip will be a little dangerous, so you two can think about whether to go to that place with me first. I don't know if it's really because this matter is very important, and the Tongzhi Taoist who doesn't like to talk also patiently explained to the two.
"Yin flower is something I must get, so this trip, I have no way out, to the fourth brother, you are still young, don't go to this troubled water, just stay here" "Second brother, I don't think it will be so coincidental, we just went in and met the ghost king, it doesn't matter, since our brothers have a sworn worship, we should be blessed and enjoy the same difficulties, how can there be a reason to escape from the battle, the second brother does not need to be persuaded, the younger brother has made up his mind." Brother, I just want to see what this ghost thing looks like. "Okay then, after you go in, you hide between me and Tongzhi Daoyou, don't run around. Brother Tongzhi Dao, let's go. ”
Because of Mo Yan's performance, the Tongzhi Daoist looked at him twice, obviously appreciating this behavior. "It seems that this is also a person who values righteousness. Mo Yan thought to himself.
Who would have thought that there would be a cave under a mass grave deep in this mountain. As soon as Mo Yan entered the ban, he was blown by the whirring yin wind in the ban, and he almost stood unsteadily, the cold was biting, and the face of the person who hit him was painful. In the face of the yin wind rising from the ground, the expression of the Huangmei Daoist did not frown, and the Tongzhi Daoist continued to walk as if nothing had happened.
The deeper you go, the more powerful the yin wind becomes, and the sound of the wind is mixed with various strange sounds of ghosts crying and wolf howls from time to time, which makes people's hair stand up. Because the mana consumed gradually increased, Mo Yan's back was gradually wet. Perhaps aware of the danger, Tongzhi took out a sharp sword full of runes from the small cloth bag he carried with him. Mo Yan was very envious when he saw that Tongzhi Daoist took things out of thin air, because the small cloth bag that Tongzhi carried with him was a storage bag that was so powerful that only a monk of Jiedan could use it. This even Huang Mei, who told Mo Yan at the time, was envious, although there were storage bags in his sect, but unfortunately his cultivation was not good, and he couldn't use it all the time.
Just as Huang Mei and the others continued to hurry, looking for Yin Hua, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind Huang Mei. When a pair of sharp claws were about to grasp the back of the Huangmei Daoist and penetrate his chest, he seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around and heard the Tongzhi Daoist shouting "Evil Animal", and slashed it with a sword. Because this ghost creature is not a physical object, the body that has been split in half is miraculously combined. But obviously, the ghost thing after the sword was obviously injured, and the healing speed was extremely slow, and at this time, a small jade bottle appeared in Tongzhi's hand at some point, and then he only heard a "receive" and put the ghost thing into the jade bottle.
"Brother Tongzhi, thank you, I didn't expect this ghost to have such a high concealment method, and I was also discovered by him so close to him, if there was no Brother Tongzhi, it would be dangerous. "Brother Huangmei Daoist doesn't have to mind, even I didn't expect that such a murderous soul had been born here" After speaking, he saw Tongzhi Daoist frowning and pondering, "How can Brother Xian, is there anything wrong?"
"Brother Huang, this ghost thing is also called the soul, it is generally in groups, it can't be only one, there are a lot of people who want to come here, we have to be more careful, you two must not be more than a meter away from me, this soul has no body, just a gathering of yin qi full of resentment, so with your cultivation, you can't sense his existence for the time being, although this soul is not high, but it is also difficult to entangle, but I have a ghost exorcism sword and a ghost bottle in hand, as long as you are careful, it should be fine. ”
Sure enough, in the next period of time, the souls appeared one after another, but as the Tongzhi Daoist said, it is true that there is no danger of encountering any real surnames if you are careful. On the contrary, these departed souls were taken away a lot by the Tongzhi Daoists, and they all became the nutrients for his practice. It seems that he has gained a lot from this trip.
The closer they got to the depths of the prohibition, the heavier the yin qi became, and finally after traveling a distance of 10 kilometers, the group found a large number of purple yin flowers around a small abyss, which looked like they were hundreds of years old. Generally, the yin flowers in the mature period are purple, and the more the year, the more colorful the color, if the year is enough, it is possible to evolve into a thousand-year-old medicine king, and the color will be all black.
Just when the Huangmei Daoist was excited and stretched out his hand to take the Yin Flower, he heard Tongzhi shouting "Be careful" and pulled the Huangmei Daoist back, maybe Huangmei's speed was too fast, maybe Tongzhi's cooperation was too accurate, and three Yin Flowers appeared on the hand of Huangmei who was pulled back by Tongzhi. "Let's go," Tongzhi shouted to the two of them without saying anything.
The two didn't ask anything deeply, originally the Yin Flower had already arrived, and after hearing Tongzhi's voice again, Huang Mei immediately got up and ran away towards the Lu Fei who came, and Mo Yan was also wrapped in Tongzhi and ran away.
"What happened to Brother Xian, did you see something?" Huang Mei Daoren finally couldn't help but ask on the way to the rush. After all, there are still so many yin flowers there, if they are all picked, then the harvest of this trip will be great.
"Brother Huang doesn't know, the younger brother just saw that the purple yin flowers were a little blackened, and he felt that something was wrong, only the yin fire of the ghost king could further ripen the yin flowers that had entered the mature stage."
"Brother Xian means that there is a ghost king living under this deep pool?" "Well, there is only this explanation, thinking that most of those souls are food raised by the ghost king, no wonder I met so many souls along the way." "It's not good, hurry up" Suddenly, Tongzhi Daoist seemed to be crazy, and a vast mana rushed out of Tongzhi's body, grabbed Huang Mei and Mo Yan, and flew straight up, and the speed was a few points faster just now.
