Devil's Spiritual Book

"Ugly...ugly?" A Ying asked in a low voice.

At this moment, a mirror light flickered, and Ah Ying turned his head, and found that it was coming from the demon reflector hanging on a casual cultivator at the table next to him.

Through the mirror, she saw her own appearance, and she was as dumb as a chicken.

This, this, is too ugly, right?

She has never seen her own face since her reincarnation, but now that she sees it clearly, she realizes that what Wu Jiu said just now was to save enough face.

She sat slumped on the ground and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

At the same time, an old man and a young man walked into the inn outside the door, looking at their clothes, they were a pair of casual cultivators and apprentices.

The young apprentice was about eight or nine years old, and it seemed that it was his first time here. After he sat down, he looked around curiously.

"Can master really deal with the silver wolf?"

The master he was talking about had gray hair, was blind in both eyes, and was leaning on a cane. After hearing the words, he nodded affirmatively: "I can definitely."

"But the master can't even beat a rabbit to death..." the little disciple whispered, stretched out his hand and pulled his clothes, "Why don't we go back, I'm afraid the master will be in danger."

The old casual cultivator stretched out his hand and touched the child's face for a while out of thin air: "Don't be afraid, Master will protect you."

The persuasion failed, the child looked disappointed, poured a cup of tea for Lao Sanxiu, and put it in his hand respectfully.

After drinking the tea, Lao Sanxiu said: "It's time for meditation, you should settle down here."

Hearing the words, the child looked embarrassed, looked at the people around him, hesitated for a moment, and followed suit.He sat cross-legged on a stool, meditating with his eyes closed.

Wu Jiu glanced at the pair of master and apprentice, thought of something, lightly smiled and said: "From now on, you will be my apprentice."

A Ying didn't expect this matter to be finalized, she stayed for a long time before she realized, and kowtowed three times to Wu Jiu according to the rules of the human world.

"Master, please accept three respects from your disciples."

"Get up." Wu Jiu said lightly, and stretched out his hand to check her pulse, "I have no foundation, start practicing from today."

A Ying got up, wiped the dust off her face, and happily thanked her.

As soon as he was about to take his seat, Wu Jiu said: "The first thing a mortal should learn in cultivation is meditation, you should also enter meditation here."

"Enter...in samadhi?" A Ying's entire face collapsed.

When they meet for the first time, shouldn't they rest for a few days before practicing?

Her lips moved, she just wanted to bargain with Wu Jiu, but after thinking about it, she changed her mind.

Isn't it just entering meditation?

When she practiced with the Great Emperor for the first time, she meditated for several years, and the mere meditation in the human world could not trouble her at all.

So she imitated the appearance of the child, adjusted her posture, and asked, "Master, how long will this disciple meditate?"

Wu Jiu thought for a while: "You can meditate as long as he meditates."

What he was referring to was the child next to him.

The old Sanxiu seemed to have heard their conversation, and tilted his ears slightly to identify the direction of the sound.

A Ying should be, and then closed his eyes.

Soon, the food came, and the smell of the food filled the nostrils. A Ying's stomach groaned uncontrollably, and she couldn't help sniffing.

It smells good.

She was in the underworld, and she had never smelled such a delicious meal.

Wujiu said in a deep voice: "What you pay attention to in meditation is a word of samadhi, with no other distractions. As a disciple of the deity, you can get into samadhi faster than others." Every word and every sentence is very similar to the elders who teach disciples in the six major sects. them.

Hearing this, Ah Yan immediately didn't dare to move.

With her eyes closed, she couldn't see Wu Jiu's expression clearly, and secretly cursed in her heart.

The ghost master has only been out of the underworld for a few days, why does he behave like a monk in the human world?He even knows such things as practicing meditation.

A Ying endured the hunger, trying to calm himself down, not to be swayed by the temptation of the outside world.

But the food was so delicious that when she smelled it, her mind was full of wanting to eat.But she didn't dare to disobey Wugui's order, and she felt extremely tormented inside.

"Eat..." As soon as Min Chengyi's soft voice sounded, Ah Yan heard the sound of chewing.

She heard the whole person's thoughts restless.

Wu Jiu glanced at the children next to him, and then at A Ying who was trying to keep calm, feeling quite amused in his heart.

It seems that it is not bad to have an apprentice.

I don't know how long Ah Ying waited. When I felt that my mind was completely empty, I finally heard Wu Jiu say: "It's still a pass. Today's test is over."

Feeling relieved, A Ying opened his eyes, and stared at the little food left on the table: "Master, can that disciple eat?"

As soon as Wu Jiu nodded, she picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and started to gobble it up, as if she hadn't eaten for several days, and she didn't pay attention to her appearance at all.

After she was full, she realized that someone's eyes were on her, and when she looked up, it was a child about two years old.

Ah Ying recognized him, but she hadn't looked at him carefully just now, now she looked at him seriously, pretended not to know him, and asked, "Master, who is he?"

Wu Jiu was silent, and said: "It should be regarded as... your senior brother."

A Ying: "..."

Just as she was about to speak, a cold light flashed outside the door, and she came straight towards them. Out of instinct, A Ying lay down.

With a "bang", the table behind him was broken into pieces.

A Ying felt a strong spiritual force passing through her body, and when she looked back, she was stunned.

There are no hidden weapons, and no fluctuations in spiritual power.

The eyes of the customers in the shop were all attracted by the sound, and they looked sideways.

At this moment, someone came in: "Little Junior Brother, I have found you."

After saying that, Xiang Fu seemed to have also seen the broken table, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

A Ying raised his head, and two young monks with delicate features stood in front of Min Chengyi.

Could it be that these two little monks were testing the ghost master just now?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at Wugui.

Wu Jiu said blankly, "Are you full?"

Min Chengyi nodded, and A Ying followed suit: "Master, we are full, where should we go next?"

Hearing the word "Master", Xiang Fu and Xiang Man looked down at her with confusion in their eyes, but soon they hugged Min Chengyi as if nothing had happened, and said, "Little Junior Brother, it's getting late, it's time to go back The inn is closed."

While talking, they looked at Wu Jiu with unclear expressions on their faces.

Wu Jiu stood up slowly, A Ying saw this and also got up.

On the way, looking at the lively scene in the market, A Ying looked around curiously.

"Master, it's really lively here."

Unlike her underworld, which is always lifeless and lifeless.

Seeing that Wugui didn't say a word, and stopped in his tracks, Aying stopped suspiciously.

All eyes are looking in one direction.

Not far away, it seems that someone is going to a funeral, but there is no funeral music, and there is no paper money. There are only six people walking slowly. The first two people are carrying a black coffin, followed by four villagers and an old woman. Lowering her head and wiping her tears, she tried to stop the sedan chair several times, but was stopped by the man beside her.

The last two villagers were dressed in impermanent black and white clothes, and both held a red lantern in their hands.

Wu Jiu seemed to be interested, he winked at Hong Li, and Hong Li pulled the villagers beside him: "Brother, what are they doing?"

"Sacrifice boy." Xiang Man replied.

After hearing this, the villager saw that they were dressed as monks, and sighed: "The fairy is right, the coffin is indeed a sacrificial boy."

Wugui: "What is a sacrificial boy?"

"Alas..." the villagers sighed, "These monks just came to Tanluo Town, right? In recent years, strange things have happened frequently in Tanluo, with demon spirits and ghost beasts appearing and haunting, and it is extremely difficult to subdue. The gods have given a will, As long as you sacrifice the children, you can keep safe, but it is a pity for those children."

After the villager finished speaking, he shook his head and left.

"Sacrifice boy?" Wu Jiu murmured.

Seeing him like this, Xiang Fu rolled his eyes, thinking of something, and then said: "Tanluo Town is at the foot of Xianshan Mountain, not only enshrines a temple of earth, but also enshrines a temple of immortals. The child in the coffin is the one who entered Dedicated to the Immortal Temple."

As soon as A Ying heard it, she became interested: "What fairy temple?"

Xiang Fu said: "I don't know the origin of this fairy temple. I heard from the villagers that it appeared five years ago overnight. There is a god of the underworld enshrined in the temple. Whenever something strange happens in the town, the villagers go to the fairy temple to ask for a lot. It will appear to protect the safety of the villagers. In the past two years, the offerings have been children under the age of one. Those children are called sacrificial children."

At first, A Ying was very interested, but when she heard about the children under one year old, her face turned pale immediately, she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiang Man answered: "We went to see the fairy temple. It was very strange. There was an enchantment inside. After the villagers put the sacrificial boy into the altar, the sacrificial boy would disappear. I don't know where it went. The enchantment was set It's very weird, and we can't see anything strange."

Speaking of this, Xiang Man felt a little disappointed.

He sympathized with those babies, and felt that it was inappropriate to sacrifice children.But the villagers are very reverent to the gods, and this is a consistent custom in Tanluo Town. Even if they want to intervene, it will be useless.

"Ghost Lord..." Xiang Fu looked at Wu Jiu, hesitated for a while, and then said, "I want to follow to see the excitement."

Wu Jiu nodded, and went towards the direction where the sacrificial boy disappeared.

They followed the boy out of the city all the way, walked about two miles, and finally arrived at the fairy temple.

Wu Jiu cast invisibility on everyone, passed the barrier smoothly, and followed the villagers into the temple.

The scene of this fairy temple is completely different from that of the earth temple. Not only is it much larger, but it is also very brand new, with melons, fruits and paper money placed everywhere on the ground.

The villagers stopped in the yard, but Wu Jiu walked into the temple.

There is a statue in the temple, with a blue face and long fangs, not like a god, but like a ghost.

Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows: "This is the god of the underworld?"

Xiang Man nodded: "I don't know why, several towns around believe in the god of the underworld. I heard that the god of the underworld is made according to the image of the underworld general, the general of the underworld."

Nether God General...

A Ying raised his eyes, and after seeing the statue clearly, he snorted.

The appearance of the Nether God General cannot be found in the underworld, and mortals actually made him into this ghostly appearance.

Wu Jiu glanced at the villagers behind him: "It's interesting whether you believe in ghosts or not."

"People who die with regret will become fierce ghosts, come back to claim their lives, and make troubles. There are also people who did a lot of evil in life and have no reincarnation, so they come back to disturb their families. It is said that the Nether God will be able to save evil spirits, and the villagers respect them very much. He, the custom of offering sacrifices to children has been going on for hundreds of years."

As soon as Xiang Fu finished speaking, there was a cry from behind.

It was the crying of the old woman. The coffin had already been placed on the ground, and the old woman was lying on it crying bitterly.

The man behind reacted, stepped forward in horror and pulled her away, covering her mouth to prevent her from making a sound.

Immediately afterwards, two people dressed in black and white impermanence walked into the temple, as if they had noticed something, looked around, then looked away after a while, first bowed to the statue three times, then stood up and held two red lanterns A few words surrounded the statue, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Suddenly, two figures appeared outside the door.

It was Xu Chen and Qu Ruxiao.

When they passed by the villagers, they stopped to take a look, and then entered the temple.

Seeing Wu Jiu, Qu Ruxiao's expression was very ugly, and he turned his face away.

Xiang Man asked, "Senior Sister, Senior Brother, why are you here?"

Xu Chen also said: "If you can't find the silver wolf, come here and see if there are any clues."

After finishing speaking, he looked back at the people in the yard, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This family was originally a wealthy family. A few years ago, the old man suddenly died suddenly. In the morning, two people were eaten by the silver wolf, so I started thinking about offering sacrifices to the boy."

It turned out to be the case.

As soon as he explained it, everyone understood.

"Ji Tong, hehe..." Aying sneered in a low voice, his tone full of sarcasm.

At the same time, there was a baby crying in the yard. It was very subtle, as if it was blocked by something. Then, a wisp of white smoke appeared in front of the statue of Hades, and after it cleared, a candlestick-shaped altar appeared. The two people in the temple stopped and waved to the villagers in the yard.

Two men hurriedly carried the coffin in, and the woman collapsed on the ground in grief.

The two knelt on the ground, and one of them said: "Today, I, Xue Jia, offer a sacrificial boy to the god of the underworld, and hope that the god of the underworld will protect my Xue family's peace and give us wealth and honor."

The other person looked at the man dressed in black and white impermanence: "Do you want to put it up now?"

The two nodded.

The small coffin was placed on the candlestick, and the crying of the baby inside had not stopped.

As Xiang Fu said before, once the coffin was placed on it, it disappeared immediately.

Seeing the coffin disappear, those people knelt down, kowtowed, and then left.

Wu Jiu waved his sleeves, and there was no one in the fairy temple.

When everyone opened their eyes, they realized that they were standing outside Yan Luozong's mountain gate, and the small coffin was placed at the gate.

"This is... Yan Luozong." Xiang Man was surprised, and then realized, "Those barriers and spells were laid down by Yan Luozong. The so-called fairy temple is also their conspiracy."

Obviously, this is a result that no one expected.

Qu Ruxiao frowned: "What do they want a baby under one year old?"

As soon as the words fell, two little disciples came out from the inside and carried the small coffin in.

Qu Ruxiao walked forward, wanting to catch up.

A hand stopped her.

Xu Chen also said: "Junior Sister, don't startle the snake, first see what they are going to do with the baby. They will come out later."

Hearing the sound, Qu Ruxiao stopped.

When they were looking for the junior brother before, they saw the altar twice, and once they saw the people holding the coffin, but those people used magic to hide the gods, and disappeared quickly without leaving any breath. less than people.

Xiang Man said: "Will Yan Luozong have anything to do with the matter of Silver Wolf?"

Xu Chen didn't answer either, and looked at Wu Jiu, and said with a smile: "Since the ghost master wants to take me to practice, why don't you take advantage of today's incident and let me see the ghost master's ability. If you can find out about the boy sacrifice, The few of us are willing to practice with the ghost master."
