Chapter 305 Niujiao Village

"This lamp is called the Nine Nether Changming Lamp. It can see the medium of Yin and Yang clearly, and it can make people see things that are invisible to the naked eye. My mother-in-law is already blind, but this lamp has a great effect on me. If you can Get it for me, and I’ll give you a Soul Cultivation Pill!” After the old woman finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and just as I was about to ask, she continued to add, “But this yin and yang lamp is not something from the yang world, but something from the yang world. It's a fetish."

I half understood what I heard, and couldn't help asking, "Grandma, what is this genital thing you're talking about?"

"Nowadays many people call some things used by the dead as Yin objects, but this Yin object is not that Yin object. The Yin objects that my mother-in-law said, as the name suggests, are things from the underworld."

The old woman said again, "After a person dies, there will be a messenger who guides the soul of the dead to bring the soul to Huangquan Road. It is said that the guide carries a lamp to illuminate the soul of the dead, which is the Yin lamp."

I was shocked after hearing this, and said in great surprise, "Are you asking me to go through the shadows to get the lamp in the hand of the guide?"

What does the underworld look like? I dare not think about this question in my head. Although I have entered the bardo world, it is not a real underworld to put it bluntly.

It's just a gate to the underworld, and because of that, I almost lost my life.

Besides, don't say it's me, Grandma Yin, who has practiced Taoism for more than 400 years, almost didn't come back after passing through Yin once, which is enough to prove the horror of the underworld.

I'm afraid that even this old woman wouldn't dare to grab the lamp in the hand of something that attracts dead souls, right?
The old woman shook her head, and said bluntly: "My mother-in-law also went to the underworld once, and even I can't deal with that place, and it has become the current appearance of neither human nor ghost, let you go to that kind of place, It’s just ten deaths and no life at all.”

"Two hundred kilometers away from the urban area, there is a place called Niujiao Village. There is a nursing home for the elderly. The Yindeng is in the nursing home. You can steal it or rob it. In any case, get it for my mother-in-law. In exchange, I will give it to you." what you want."

I tentatively asked: "If the Yin Deng is in that village, and it's just a nursing home, it's not difficult for my mother-in-law to get the lamp. Why do I need to get it?"

I have never heard of Niujiao Village, but I heard that it is more than 200 kilometers away from the urban area, so it must be a very remote mountain village.

But the Yin Lamp is just the opposite. The closer you get to the Yin Lamp, the more extreme cold you will feel, and where the Yin Lamp appears, there must be ghosts.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for things from the underworld to appear in that village.

The old woman nodded slowly, "Yes, it's inside!"

The old woman obviously had something she didn't say to me directly.

The old woman smiled and said: "Grandma is old, her legs and feet are inconvenient, and her eyes are also blind. Naturally, she can't go there. Besides... that village is not simple. Before you, there were two people who were destined, and one of them wanted By luck, the other one wants to change his life."

"Where this Niujiao Village is, my mother-in-law has never been there. I don't know, but the degree of danger is naturally not simple. If you go there and can't come back, mother-in-law will not bear the karma, but if you come back, mother-in-law will definitely Your request will be fulfilled."

I have nothing to do with this old woman. She bears such a big cause and effect, and she will definitely not help me for no reason.

"The mother-in-law asked the two of them to get the Yin Deng back as a condition. The two of them thought it was not difficult at first, but...the two of them never came back in the end, and you, maybe you will be the first three people."

"With Lord Snake's help, you should be much smoother. If you can get the Yin Lantern, we will meet again soon. If you don't come back in the end..."

"It's a nursing home." The old woman nodded with absolute certainty.

This is the first time I have heard that there are nursing homes for the elderly in remote mountain villages?
I asked with some doubts: "You mean nursing homes for the elderly?"

"If you don't want to take this risk, leave now, and mother-in-law will never force others to make things difficult."

After all, the old woman is not an ordinary person, even if she knows this, it is not difficult to understand.

The old woman was not worried about being unable to distinguish this problem at all, and said to me: "It's just a horse lantern with a handle. That lamp is very unique, and it is very different from the lamps of Yangshi. If you see it, you will recognize it at a glance." .”

The old woman told me that the most obvious feature of Yin lamps is the green flame, which is the biggest difference from the lamps of the Yang world.

Those two empty eye sockets looked extraordinarily mysterious under the orange light.

"where!?"

If I go to that place, even if I die inside, it will be nothing to her. On the contrary, if I bring the lamp back, the transaction can be completed.

I don't think this is right: "How could something like a lamp appear in a nursing home?"

It seems that there must be something strange in this Niujiao Village.

But what kind of place is this village?
"Anything in this world requires the same effort in exchange for the reward you want. If you want to get it, you must first have the awareness to sacrifice your own life."

But I thought that this village might not be simple, after all, if it was really easy, the old woman wouldn't need me to make this trip at all.

After the old woman whispered, she smiled mysteriously and said to me: "I know that there is a place in the yang world, and there must be a yin lamp."

Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. If I were in the yang world, then no matter what, it would be much better than going to the underworld.

After the old woman finished speaking, she didn't say a word again, but there was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

I thought about it, wondering why the old woman was so sure, and how did I know that there would be a lamp in Niujiao Village?
Of course, I didn't express the doubt in my heart.

But I still underestimated the risks, especially when she said that the two before me had gone and never came back.

Because the Yanghuo exudes a scorching temperature, and that kind of fire-like ghosts dare not approach.

Having said that, the old woman laughed sinisterly a few times.

The old woman is right, of course what you gain and what you give must be equal.

Thinking of this, I became concerned, and asked, "Grandma, the yin lamp you mentioned is too general. After all, there are many Yangshi lamps. Even if I find them, how should I distinguish them?"

After the old woman said this, I felt that this matter was not as simple as I thought.

The meaning behind it is obvious, if I didn't come back in the end, I must have died on the way.

I have a faint feeling that this matter will definitely be more difficult than I imagined.

But thinking of Chu Yuan's current situation, he needs soul nourishing pills, and now I'm sure the old woman has them, and as long as I finish what she said, I can't give up at this time.

The old woman seems to give me a choice, but in fact I have no right to choose at all.
