Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 118 Evocation.

The fact that the gate in the Town God's Temple leads directly to the underworld is a bit beyond Li Xiuyuan's expectations.

But this is also convenient. There is a way to the underworld here, and it saves you to use other methods to enter the underworld.

"Master Li, please." Cheng Huang said with a smile.

Li Xiuyuan nodded, and walked across the gate to the underworld, but when he just stepped into the gate, he asked curiously: "I will not have any problems when I enter the underworld as a human body and come back."

The City God said: "If an ordinary mortal enters the underworld, if his will is not strong, and he is frightened by the ghosts of the underworld, his soul will leave his body and stay in the underworld forever, becoming a ghost in the underworld. There is no serious problem, the power of the underworld cannot affect Mr. Li, so please rest assured Mr. Li."

"I see." Li Xiuyuan's doubts were all gone.

Immediately, City God led the way, accompanied by Yin soldiers, and Li Xiuyuan crossed the gate and entered the underworld.

After entering the underworld, Li Xiuyuan did not feel any special changes, everything was the same as when he was in the mortal world.

Maybe he has no fear of gods and ghosts in his heart, maybe it's because of his own special reasons.

"It's endless here, how long will it take to get to the ghost king's place?" Li Xiuyuan asked on the way.

Chenghuang said: "It's a little way, but it's not far away. I hope Mr. Li will be patient."

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan stopped talking.

Fortunately, he is physically strong enough. Although he is not as good as the ghosts and gods who ride the wind, he will not get tired easily if he just walks.

"Heck, heck~!"

After walking for a certain distance, Li Xiuyuan suddenly heard the crowing of a rooster. A big rooster with a child's ghost on its back ran wildly past not far away, flapping its wings from time to time.

"How can there be a cock in the underworld?" He glanced at it and asked curiously.

"This is a child in the mortal world who lost his soul and strayed into the underworld. A Taoist is killing a chicken to bring this child back to life." The City God said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, Mr. Li, look again."

After finishing speaking, Chenghuang tapped lightly.

There was a gash in the front of the rooster.

Through this opening, Li Xiuyuan saw a bed in the room of a rich family, with a pale child lying on it, and a Taoist priest next to him was casting a spell to summon the child's soul, and there were many family members of the child around, all His expression was tense, as if he was waiting for the child to return to his soul.

Because the city god opened the gap ahead of time, the big rooster saw the exit in front of it, and immediately croaked, carrying the child's soul, and jumped out, returning from the underworld to the underworld.

The Taoist immediately seized this opportunity to protect the child's soul and send it into his body.

After the soul returned to the body, the unconscious child's breath improved a lot.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan was quite surprised.

This is indeed the Taoist priest in Yangjian calling for the soul.

But Li Xiuyuan saw the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest seemed to be looking at the underworld.

"It was the city god who went out, escorted by Yin soldiers. This child is blessed, it was the city god who brought him back."

The Celestial Eye on the Taoist’s forehead was opened and he could see through yin and yang. He immediately saw the City God and Yin soldiers passing by in the underworld. The child had lost his soul. He had been lost in the underworld for too long and was too far away. The rooster’s soul could not support it. Such a long road to the underworld, if the city god hadn't opened the gate of the underworld, this call for souls would have failed.

"Hey, who is that person?"

The Taoist priest saw Li Xiuyuan next to the City God again, and a look of surprise appeared on his face at this moment.

Although he saw Li Xiuyuan, he saw that the person's body seemed to be separated by a layer of mist, even the sky eyes could hardly see clearly, so he could only be sure that it was a person, a living person.

"Walking in the underworld with the body of a living person, where is this expert?"

The yin energy in the underworld is too heavy. If a living person walks in the underworld for a long time, he will be eroded by the yin energy and eventually die in the underworld. , I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

The Taoist was curious, so he raised his eyes again to see Li Xiuyuan.

Being able to walk in the underworld as a living person, escorted by the city god's soldiers, such a person must be very important, and it is worth exploring.

But when the Taoist forced himself to look at Li Xiuyuan's face, he suddenly felt a dark force stopping him, and even turned against him.

"Ah~!"

The Taoist screamed, his Celestial Eye was instantly hit by the power from somewhere, and he lost his sight instantly, while a mouthful of blood gushed out from him, and he fell to the ground.

"Teacher." The child's family members were shocked when they saw this scene, and hurriedly supported the Taoist.

The Taoist waved his hand weakly and said: "The poor Taoist has nothing to do, just now I was curious and forced to look at something I shouldn't have seen. Sure enough, this drink and peck will last for days. This is the catastrophe of the poor Taoist."

After finishing speaking, he no longer dared to peek at everything in the underworld.

Soon, the gap in the underworld closed, and Yin and Yang were separated again.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but look at the Taoist with some sympathy.

This is curiosity killing the cat, why bother to open your eyes to see your identity forcibly, it's almost enough, and now you get yourself backlashed.

Fortunately, he just glanced at it, and didn't force his own life like that bald man, otherwise the backlash would be more than that.

Continue on your way.

At this time, Li Xiuyuan saw a city straddling the earth, a black river meandering from a distance, going around the city, and disappearing in the distance.

"Here we are, the ghost king's territory is in front of us." Cheng Huang said.

"Is that the city of death?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The City God shook his head and said, "It's not the City of Death, it's just an ordinary ghost city, just like in the world, there are ordinary county towns, and there are also prosperous big cities. .”

After walking forward for a while, Cheng Huang stopped.

"Mr. Li, I can't go any further, or I will be discovered by the ghost king's yin soldiers. I can only ask Mr. Li to go forward alone. I am here waiting for Mr. Li's return. Mr. Li does not need to be afraid, although you Entering the ghost city alone, but the fierce ghosts and ghost kings in the underworld will not hurt you at all, so you can rest assured."

Li Xiuyuan heard the words and said, "Since that's the case, then please ask the City God to stay here later."

"Naturally, I will wait here for Mr. Li's return." The City God saluted.

Li Xiuyuan was not afraid either, he nodded and bid farewell to the City God and walked towards the ghost city alone.

"Since this City God knows that he will be discovered, why can't the eighteen guards of my Li family bypass this ghost city and avoid the ghost king here?" After walking for a while, he thought about the whole story. , found something unusual.

From before the city god used female ghosts to test himself, and now the ghost city has stopped moving forward.

If they are connected in series, it seems that the City God has something to hide from himself.

"When dealing with ghosts and gods, you must never be completely trustworthy. People will lose their trust, let alone ghosts and gods."

For some reason, Li Xiuyuan recalled a previous intentional or unintentional exhortation from his master, Daoist Daoist, in Li Xiuyuan's mind.

"No matter what this city god is planning, at least on the bright side, he must let me take away the ghosts of Tieshan and Li Zhong." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

Soon, the ghost town he was approaching.

And near the ghost city, Li Xiuyuan saw all kinds of ghosts living in the city, coming in and out, like a mortal city.

But under the walls of the ghost city, next to the dark moat, he saw many female ghosts, washing something in the moat. It looked like clothes, but it wasn't.

Ghosts don't need to wash clothes.

"What are you washing?"

Li Xiuyuan walked over and asked curiously.

A female ghost said: "We are washing the placenta in the human world. If a placenta is washed ten times, the ghost reincarnated will be extremely intelligent and good-looking. If it is washed two or three times, the ghost reincarnated will be ugly." Ugly, mediocre."

"Stop talking, wash it quickly, the ghost king will be angry again if you can't finish the amount." A woman-like ghost next to him said.

Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled.

There is such a thing in the underworld, how come I have never heard of it before.

After stopping to watch for a while, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, this is a matter of the underworld, and knowing more is not of much use, so he left again.

When he was walking towards the ghost city, he was stopped by the ghost soldiers guarding the gate when he passed the gate.

"Are you new here, don't you know that you need to pay paper money to enter the ghost city? You are not allowed to enter the city without paper money." A dark soldier shouted.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.

This yang world requires money to enter the city, but this underworld also charges money?

"Wait, you smell like a living person, are you a living person?" The Yin soldier suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Xiuyuan, looking very surprised.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Yes, I am a living person. I have something to do in this ghost city and ask the ghost king here. Please do me a favor. I don't have any money with me, so why don't I go back and burn it for you."

"Haha, I don't want your money, I just want your people. I ate all dust in the underworld, and I haven't eaten human flesh. Today, I met you, an unlucky living person, who strayed into the underworld by mistake, so I took you down." Tooth fight."

The Yin Soldier laughed excitedly, and suddenly turned into a green-faced, fang-toothed evil spirit, and rushed towards Li Xiuyuan.

"It's fine if you don't give me face, but you still want to eat me. What kind of reason is this? The big fist is the biggest. No, the reason is the biggest. If you don't make sense, don't blame me for taking action."

Li Xiuyuan had a calm face and no fear. Seeing the evil ghost turned into by the Yin soldier rushing towards him, he just waved his hand casually and punched him.

"Ah~!"

The ghost let out a miserable cry, and exploded in mid-air. The ghost's body was torn apart and turned into countless pieces. It cannot be recovered.
