Taboos in the Underworld: Starting from being paid a lot of money to beg for a child

Thinking of this, I gave up the idea of ​​refusing her to follow me. If the arrangement and selection of the underworld are related to Guan Yan, then I really have to keep her by my side.

"Okay, I'm afraid of being bored, so let's get some company. You and I can walk." After I said that, I walked towards a dense forest behind the road.

Shangguan Yan quickly caught up and said, "Ah? What are you doing in the woods?"

I chuckled and said:

"Go and do something. It will take an hour or two. Are you ready for the wait?"

Shangguan Yan nodded and said:

"I still have more time, so I'll just wait for you."

This dense forest is behind the old house. In addition to this dense forest, there are many dense forests similar to this one.

There are many black tree-shaped things in these dense forests, but these are not real trees.

It looks like a black metal texture and feels extremely hard.

The yin energy in these dense forests seems to be much stronger than near the roads.

Gathering yin in such a place will have a better effect.

I found a piece of flat ground to do it, and Shangguan Yan also sat quietly aside:

"Shall we just sit here for an hour or two?"

I chuckled and said:

"I want to gather yin here to improve my strength."

"Gathering Yin? How to gather Yin? I want it too, can you teach me?" Shangguan Yan said happily.

I shook my head and said:

"You can't gather it, because my soul body is very special, so I can gather the yin."

Shangguan Yan made a sound and said:

"Then hurry up, I feel a little uncomfortable staying in this place."

"Well, don't run around."

I said and began to recite the soul-gathering spell.

The Yin Qi here is purer and much richer than on Huangquan Road.

The gloomy wind formed by the gathering of yin energy has a hint of refreshing coolness, which is very comfortable.

I was immersed in Juyin and couldn't extricate myself. More than three hours passed by in a flash.

After reciting the Yin Gathering Mantra for the last time, I couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, and the Yin energy around my body circulated freely.

The soul body feels extremely comfortable. If this strength were on the road to hell, Zeng Fan would never stop me.

But everything has its own destiny. If Zeng Fan didn't stop me, I wouldn't be able to see Tiedan.

I stood up, patted my soul symbolically, and wanted to run to the old house without stopping.

Just after running two steps, I suddenly remembered that Shangguan Yan was here just now, why is she missing now?

"Shangguan Yan?"

I shouted, but there was no movement.

Although I was very absorbed in Ju Yin just now, if Shangguan Yan was captured by someone, I would definitely be able to sense it.

She suddenly disappeared. The only possibility is that Shangguanyan left quietly by herself.

I shouted twice more, but still no response.

"Forget it, maybe she left because she was impatient to wait. She said before that she felt uncomfortable staying here."

I thought to myself, let’s go to that old house and see it first.

Quickly returning to the old house, Mu Xue's laughter could still be heard from inside the door.

I didn't hesitate anymore and rushed to the door, using my hands hard.

This solemn and simple door was pushed open by me directly.

This old house is extremely strange.

There are no rooms inside, just a large courtyard surrounded by walls.

Mu Xue's living soul was playing in the open space in the middle of the compound.

There were many butterflies around her, and those butterflies were colorful. It was the most colorful butterflies I had ever seen in the underworld.

"Mu Xue!"

I stepped through the door in one step and rushed towards Mu Xue quickly.

Mu Xue turned her head:

"Brother? Are you a brother? Really a brother."

She smiled brightly, opened her hands and rushed towards me.

With tears in my eyes, I picked up Mu Xue and spun him around several times. Mu Xue laughed and said:

"Brother, Mu Xue misses you so much and dreams about you every night. Where have you been?"

I hugged Mu Xue tightly, calmed down my excitement, and asked:

"Mu Xue, tell brother, why are you here?"

Mu Xue smiled, her eyes curved into crescent moons:

"An uncle said he would take me to find my brother, so I came here. I didn't expect that I really found my brother. I wanted to thank that uncle. By the way, brother, where are my parents? I haven't seen Mu Xue for a long time. They are gone, Mu Xue misses them so much."

"Muxue, it's okay. Brother will take you to find your parents soon. Tell brother, where is the uncle who brought you here?"

I quickly asked, besides Yin Cha, who else could bring Mu Xue’s soul across Huangquan Road here?

Mu Xue looked around and said:

"Eh? That uncle who was here just now suddenly disappeared."

I frowned, put Mu Xue down on the ground, looked at this weird old house, and said loudly:

"Lord Yinshi, why did you go all out to capture my sister here?"

Mu Xue held my hand, looked at me blankly and said:

"Brother, don't talk like that. That uncle was very nice to me and he didn't want to arrest me. Moreover, he promised to help me find my brother and he found me. We have to thank that uncle."

"That's right, I didn't even say thank you, but I actually criticized you. It's so rude..."

A young voice came through, this voice was just a little more mature than Zeng Fan's.

A ghost slowly gathered in front of me. He was dressed strangely, with a black dress draped over his body.

The black clothes are a bit like leather black clothes, and on the feet are a pair of high black boots.

A brown corset is tied with a blue rope. What's even more strange is that this ghost also wears a dark gray hat in the shape of a bamboo hat.

Coupled with the one-meter-long sword on his waist, he looks like an ancient knight.

Looking at this weird ghost, I felt a little funny.

Because he has delicate features and looks very young.

But the one at the back had gray hair. With this hair, I couldn't tell whether the ghost was a boy or a girl.

But judging from the sound of his voice and the flatness of his chest, he was definitely a man.

"It's so funny. You took away my sister's soul and left her dying in the world, and I still have to thank you?"

I asked in a cold voice.

The ghost laughed and said:

"Am I not also following orders?"

"On orders? Whose orders? You don't look like a shady person."

"Who told you that only undercover people can act according to orders? Haven't you ever heard of the profession of hiring souls? Logically speaking, you are also a Taoist priest, don't you know?" The ghost asked in return.

"Hired soul? Never heard of it. You said you were ordered to bring my sister's soul down. Then why?"

I asked suspiciously.

The ghost who claimed to be a mercenary soul said:

"Well, it's a long story, so I'll make it short. Of course, I only tell you what I know. Don't ask about anything I haven't mentioned, because I don't even know."

I nodded and motioned for him to speak quickly.

He cleared his throat and said:

"Your bad horoscope was specially given to you by the underworld, and your life span is also destined. There are many evil ways in the underworld, and some evil ways have reached the point where he can't bear it after death, and in the underworld It’s not easy to directly send people to kill those evil spirits, so the underworld will choose some righteous Taoist priests to deal with them, and you are one of these people. Of course, these things have great merit. As compensation, these people’s evil deeds You will live a good life in this reincarnation. So I want to congratulate you first. You will have no worries about food and clothing in your next life."

"Don't talk about this, focus on the main point. Since it is a great merit, why do you want to capture my sister's soul?"

I asked directly. What he said also made me understand what the underworld meant when he said that I was the person chosen by the underworld.

He rolled his eyes at me and said:

"If I hadn't had the obligation to explain things clearly to you, I would have turned against you long ago."

"..."

I didn't speak, I was speechless.

He continued:

"You have too much nostalgia for the earth. Even if you become a ghost, you can still escape from the ghost. So if you don't bring your sister's living soul down, you will definitely find ways to stay in the earth. Am I right?"

I suddenly realized that this was deliberately arranged by the underworld. The purpose was to prevent me from staying in the earth?

"Well, you're right. If Mu Xue's soul hadn't been brought in by you, I wouldn't have come to this place at all."

I said it directly.

He smiled and said:

"So, those of you who are selected need to go to the underworld to report on your duties, and then allocate the best reincarnation paths according to merit."

"I don't need a good reincarnation path, I..."

Before I finished speaking, he interrupted me:

"You don't need it, but the underworld does. The underworld always needs some influential people to promote development and maintain harmony. If you don't go, their original arrangements will be broken. This is a big problem for them. A very troublesome thing.”

"So you captured my sister's living soul to force me to come to the underworld to report on my duties, or even force me to reincarnate?"
