Deadly Twelve Days

Looking at Da Niu's soul that was growing longer and longer in my eyes, I couldn't help but rejoice and my heart immediately lightened.

However, before my happiness lasted for long, I noticed something strange.

It's true that Da Niu's soul was being extracted, but at the same time, I could feel the change in my line of sight. Although I didn't move, I could still see Yi Yun getting closer and closer.

I couldn't help but be shocked and hurriedly turned my head to look back. I was already shocked when I saw that she wasn't looking.

A familiar face appeared in my eyes.

That's right, it's my face, from the clothes to my face. There's no doubt about it, but if that's me, then who am I?

I couldn't help but start to panic, but this panic was completely futile.

There was a light popping sound and my body felt light. My head felt extremely dizzy as I tried to move my hands and feet. The feeling of being touched by the real thing made me relax. I sat on the ground paralyzed as cold sweat dripped down my body like rain.

At this time, Yi Yun had already lit the third incense stick.

"Four Seals Supreme One, Five Lives Reincarnation, Walk Yin Mufan, Walk Yang and Remove Ether!"

When Yi Yun inserted the incense into the incense burner, I immediately felt a sharp pain in my chest, as if it was burned by fire.

I quickly pulled open my chest and looked down. I saw that my chest was red and swollen. A strange dark red mark appeared on my chest. I was alarmed and hastily rubbed it with my hand. Yi Yun was alarmed and hurriedly opened my hand, "You can't rub it!"

"This is the Yin Walk Imprint. Only with this imprint can you be considered a member of the yin faction. If you get rid of this imprint and cause the divine envoy to blame you …" Yi Yun's face was pale as he explained in detail.

I nodded my head and couldn't help but find it funny. I was a little worried before. It seems that it wasn't too difficult to become a Yin Master!

The imprint on my chest slowly faded away, until there was only an extremely faint red mark left. At the same time, the burning pain also faded away like the tide.

I heaved a sigh of relief. Then I looked at Yi Yun and asked, "Is it over?"

Yi Yun sized up the imprint on my chest with a smile. "Not yet. I'm just missing the last step."

I was about to ask him, when he launched into a sudden attack and smacked me on the head with his palm.

The force of his palm strike was so powerful that it made my eyes sparkle. I couldn't help but be a little angry. "What are you doing?" I snapped at him.

"Hehe." Yi Yun smiled mysteriously and said, "That palm just now was called 'Soulwake up'. You had to be deliberately done by the person you recommended. Only after receiving that palm would you be considered to be in the dark."

"Reserve?" For a moment, I was speechless. After all that time, why was he still only a backup?

"Of course." Yi Yun glanced at me and explained, "In order to become a true Yin Master, aside from obtaining their acknowledgement, the most important thing is that you must complete the mission of sending your spirit into the underworld."

"Send one's spirit into the underworld?" I stared, not really understanding.

"Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson first." Yi Yun respectfully gave the Ox-head Statue the last stick of incense before he smiled and began his lecture.

A person is divided into three souls. The so-called "death of a person is like extinguishing a lamp." The three souls are lamps, the seven souls are fire, and once a person dies, the seven souls will naturally disperse, but the three souls will still exist.

The three souls were divided into the heavenly soul, earthly soul and divine soul, and the divine soul needed seven days to dissipate before it could leave the body. The first seven souls actually referred to the period when the divine soul would dissipate, and after the divine soul dispersed, the heavenly soul would return to the heavens and the earthly soul would return to the earth.

Of course, all of these were normal circumstances.

Under abnormal circumstances, if the deceased's consciousness was too deep or was due to multiple reasons, and if the other two souls were not willing to return to their respective places after their soul had disappeared, then someone would have to forcefully send them back.

And the people who sent them back were the Yin-Yang Attendant and the Treading Yang Attendant.

Hearing this, I finally understood a little, so I asked Yi Yun, "Then what's the difference between using Yin and Yang?"

After asking this question, Grandpa Chen also walked in. He sized me up and said, "My host soul is stable and extremely domineering. It's indeed a good material."

At this moment, Grandpa Chen no longer looked like the benevolent old man, but more like a senior bringing me around the Jianghu.

Grandpa Chen had obviously heard my question. He answered with a smile, "The biggest difference between Walking Yin and Walking Yang is that their origins are different. Walking Yin is a stranger walking Yin, while Walking Yang is a person walking Yang. Fan Youzi, do you understand?"

When Grandpa Chen said this, he suddenly waved his hand towards me.

I was immediately shocked. Just as I wanted to dodge, I saw that Grandpa Chen's hand had directly passed through my head. Other than feeling a slight chill, there wasn't the slightest bit of pain.

My scalp tingled and I immediately understood what Grandpa Chen had just said.

However, what surprised me the most was that what Grandpa Chen displayed just now was not something an ordinary person could do.

For a moment, cold sweat dripped out of my body. I didn't dare to think too deeply and could only stare blankly at Grandpa Chen's old face. It was hard to imagine that an old man who had watched me grow up had such an identity.

As for Yi Yun, who was standing at the side, he was not the least bit surprised. It was clear that he already knew of Grandpa Chen's true identity, and also knew that there was a difference between the two of us.

"The pacing yang comes from the underworld, it's the underworld, and we …" Having said this, Yi Yun gave a faint smile and opened his chest, revealing a similar imprint on his chest. "We are from the underworld, you understand."

I nodded my head in embarrassment as I stared at his chest. Although his imprint looked the same as mine, it was much darker and slightly purple.

Thus, I lowered my head to look at the mark on my chest. At this moment, my chest was completely empty. The mark from before had long disappeared. I couldn't help but feel curious.

"There's nothing to be surprised about. Red, purple, blue, black. You'll have it when you officially become a Yin Master." Yi Yun saw the doubt in my heart and blurted it out before I could say anything.

"Bu Yang, thank you." Having said so, Yi Yun changed the subject, bowed towards Grandpa Chen, opened the door and left.

Somehow, after knowing Grandpa Chen's identity, even though I knew he didn't have any ill intentions towards me, thinking about that weird scene from a moment ago made my scalp go numb. Thus, like Yi Yun, I bowed and left with him.

As for Grandpa Chen, he watched me off with a blank expression on his face.

However, just as I left the room, a creaking sound came from the old wooden door behind me. I couldn't help but jump in fright. I hurriedly turned my head to look, only to see Grandpa Chen already silently sitting at the wooden table with his head lowered as he picked up the pair of chopsticks.

"What are you looking at? Let's go quickly." Yi Yun saw that I had stopped walking and pulled at me to urge me on.

He couldn't help but look back. When he saw me, he was shocked and saw a face with a sallow face and high cheekbones like that of a skeleton standing in front of me. He asked me in an extremely hoarse voice, "There's no need to look, it's all me!"

This hunchbacked man was as skinny as a piece of wood. His eyes were deeply sunken in, and there was not even the slightest bit of luster in them. They looked like glass beads that had been broken into pieces.

I was almost scared to death. My legs gave out a scream as I retreated a few steps back. I quickly pulled on Yi Yun's sleeve, but no words came out of my mouth.

Yi Yun was also stunned for a moment before he gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Bu Yang, don't scare the newcomers."

Yi Yun's words immediately startled me. Why does it sound like the person who came was Grandpa Chen? Except, other than his physique, this person in front of me can't seem to be related to Grandpa Chen at all.

"Let's go." Yi Yun chuckled. Looking like he was in a good mood, he cast a glance at Grandpa Chen before walking down the dark corridor to the main hall without the slightest hesitation.

I followed him for a few steps, but when I looked back, there was no one behind me. I could only see a red light seeping through the gap in the wooden door.

I heaved a sigh of relief and woodenly followed Yi Yun to the front hall.

"Tut, tsk, tsk." However, right at this moment, a short and two long knocks were heard. It sounded extremely hesitant, as if it was light yet heavy, making it seem extremely strange.
