Chapter 545 The Soul in the Palace
There are two ways to bypass the palace covered in mercury vapor. One is above the rock wall and follows a narrow path.
The other one is underground, which is the one that Yin Xiu is looking at. It runs through rocks and under the cliff and looks fragmented.
"Do you think, if we go this way, will we deviate and go directly back to the ground?" Yin Xiu asked.
"How do I know this?"
Ma Xiaoyu was also a little troubled. After all, they were completely unfamiliar with the environment and layout underground. How could they know where they were going?
Because there are neither signboards nor large-scale roads here, there are just "paths" connected by jumping from one section to another, and occasionally glowing moss on the rock wall.
"Maybe I know?"
Liu Banxian held up the compass in his hand and kept observing.
"Liu Banxian, your skills are really amazing. Can you calculate this?" Yin Xiu gave a thumbs up.
"It's not calculated, it's guessed." Liu Banxian shook his head.
"I thought the Ma family's heavenly masters should always communicate with the underworld."
"That was your first time?"
As he said that, he turned around and left.
"It's not what you think."
Liu Banxian stepped forward and left.
"I always feel that this is a bit like the scenes we saw when we [watched Luoyin] for the first time." Ma Xiaoyu suddenly said.
Liu Banxian was pacing in place, sighing.
"Do you think of me like this?"
Yin Xiu sighed and looked at Ma Xiaoyu, whose cheeks were slightly red.
"Not really," Yin Xiu shook his head, "I just want to say that if you go in that direction, you will run into a master from Ouchi."
"Wait a minute." Yin Xiu stopped him again.
"Anywhere is fine. We are at home all over the world and travel around the world. Goodbye, brother Yin. Farewell!"
"Oh, then I understand."
Along the way, the luminous moss fell on the stones and cave roofs on the roadside, emitting a faint green light and emitting a halo, making people think they were walking among the stars.
"Brother Yin, do you still have something to explain?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Liu Banxian opened the fan with a snap, fanned himself gently, and said slowly: "Then let's continue walking. Bet that my judgment is right?"
However, at the moment, walking in the darkness, the green light looks quite scary. Instead of making people feel like they are walking among the sea of stars, they have a terrifying feeling that the front is leading to the netherworld.
"Guess?"
"It's pitch black over there." Hai Dongqing reminded.
Liu Banxian also came over, with a very surprised face. He glanced at Ma Xiaoyu first, then at Yin Xiu, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Yin, when did it come so fast? I thought..."
< br>
It’s true that people’s hearts are not as old as they used to be, and the world is getting worse. ”
"Oh my, I'm most afraid of the dark, so what should I do!!"
Ren Qi sneered, "Just like those Qingtian masters and iron-blooded arresters who are expert in solving cases, as long as they capture and behead people, there is probably no so-called unjust, false or wrongful conviction."
"Isn't this simple?"
"Where are you going?" Yin Xiu stopped him.
Liu Banxian looked quite sentimental, "I thought that we were all good brothers and could be trusted sincerely, but I didn't expect that you still regarded me as a charlatan. This is a bit sad and sad.
"What?"
"That's exactly what I meant!" Yin Xiu also followed his example and echoed.
Normally, this would be a romantic thing.
Yin Xiu glanced at him, "If it's a guess, it can only be a guess, not a guess, right?"
Liu Banxian opened the fan with a snap, "Because we who run in the world rely on our ability to cut straight with an iron mouth, and we can't make mistakes."
"But, what if something goes wrong?" Hai Dongqing asked.
Anyway, I don't have a clue right now. I don't know what the situation is ahead. It's better to just follow Liu Banxian's guess and try it. It's better than doing nothing here.
"That's it."
So everyone cheered up, lined up in a line holding fluorite, and walked towards the darkness ahead.
"Why don't you, Master Liu, abandon your past feud and come with us for a while?"
Liu Banxian immediately turned around and said, "Thank you for letting me know. I'll go this way."
Yin Xiu smiled and said, "They say he is running around in the world. The key point must be the word [running]."
"Of course others can't, but I can call myself this."
"That's Mi Po's business, not our Taoist priests' job."
Ma Xiaoyu gently touched the earrings with her fingers, and her face finally recovered a little, "He is the Ma family's heavenly master, and he is also a Taoist priest.
[Guan Luo Yin] That kind of thing is very evil. Even if a serious Taoist priest needs to communicate with the underworld, he still invites a ghost servant to come up and answer the question instead of going down by himself. This is against the rules and conflicts with the rituals of Maoshan. . ”
"But didn't Huang Shang become an immortal by traveling through the five prisons?" Liu Banxian asked.
Ma Xiaoyu objected: "Huang Shang didn't become an immortal by traveling through the five hells. He sent five mandrills into the five hells, and his merits were perfected and he ascended. And I have heard a saying that although Huang Shang is a stranger, he has two eyes." , can see thousands of miles by day and spy on ghosts and gods at night, but he is not a Taoist priest
It is said that he was a civil servant. At that time, the emperor was collecting Taoist classics, and Huang Shang was responsible for proofreading, organizing and printing the collected materials.
Huang Shang accepted the emperor's task, fearing that he would be punished by the emperor if he made a mistake, so he carefully proofread and studied every word and paragraph.
Over time, he unknowingly became an expert in Taoism, and even had a deeper understanding of the classics than many old Taoist priests, so people also recognized him as a Taoist priest. ”
"So, he is an unorthodox Taoist priest?"
"It's hard to say, because there are only a few famous people in history about Huang Shang.
Even Wong Tai Sin, who is worshiped in Hong Kong today, is the legendary Huang Shang who became an immortal. Some people have questions and disputes about his birth and death dates. Some people think that he was born in the Song Dynasty, and some people think that he was born in the Song Dynasty. In fact, he was a Taoist priest from the Tang Dynasty.
Although most people now believe that Huang Taixian was born in the Song Dynasty, some people still think that he was a Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, and there are different opinions. ”
Liu Banxian listened to Ma Xiaoyu's opinion and couldn't help but sigh: "Although the year of his birth and death, ah, no, he has become an immortal and he is definitely not dead. I mean, although the year of his birth is controversial, it is generally accepted that he became an immortal. Right?”
"Yes, Huang Shang's becoming an immortal is indeed considered a credible legend, although even for many Taoist priests, becoming an immortal itself is a fantasy."
"So, where is Kui Qingshan?"
Liu Banxian suddenly remembered such a person.
"Is he not dead yet?"
"Of course he's not dead."
Yin Xiu was very sure, "That guy is an immortal after all. He can't die so easily. I should just disperse him so that he doesn't die."
"If he is really an immortal and cannot ascend to the immortal world because of his unstable feet, so he also covets the underground palace in Changbai Mountain, then where should he be at the moment?" Liu Banxian muttered.
Yin Xiu's heart skipped a beat, "Why, do you have news about that guy? Or did you find any signs?" "Not at all."
Liu Banxian touched his chin, "In fact, I have never met him at all, so how could I have any connection with him?
However, at this moment, I really seem to feel that maybe he is here at this moment, maybe in this underground palace. ”
"Is this your premonition?" Ma Xiaoyu also became a little nervous.
"Really?"
Liu Banxian tapped his forehead lightly with a paper fan, "You know, my premonitions have always been a bit scary. Just like your luck, Brother Yin, it often means good things don't work but bad things work. I'm just afraid that I will be right. At some point, Na Kui Qingshan also came to the underground palace.”
"Don't think like that."
Yin Xiu only felt that her head was big.
At present, the large number of officers and soldiers in the underground palace has made him feel very troublesome. If the powerful Kui Qingshan is added to the mix, he will feel very troublesome.
In other words, there is a very powerful ghost fairy in the "dream", so he really can't even sleep peacefully.
Even though it was just an idea that Liu Banxian had that came out of nowhere, he was straight-forward and left absolutely no omissions. Sometimes it wasn't necessarily true that he was right about something.
"Then what if he comes?" Hai Dongqing asked.
“What else can we do?”
Ren Qi was not worried, "If that guy can't be chopped to death, we have three Xuanmen here, and they can drink a pot of him.
If that guy can be hurt by a sword, then I will take action. ”
There was indeed a reassuring tone in Ren Qi's words, even though he himself did not feel reassuring enough to be trusted.
However, as long as a master like him is around him, it seems that no one will pose any threat to him.
This may be the sense of security brought by strong strength. Even if you know that this person may not protect you, you feel at ease.
After a pause, Liu Banxian waved his hand and said: "Hey, just think I'm talking nonsense, that guy may not come, why are we worried here?
Why not focus on moving forward first? Maybe in the end we are just fetching water from a bamboo basket, and our work may be in vain? ”
"Spit!"
Yin Xiu interrupted Liu Banxian's words, "Can you say something nice? Why do you keep saying these depressing words?"
"Really? Have I been talking about this?" Liu Banxian asked doubtfully.
"Yes, and I think something has been wrong with you since just now." Ma Xiaoyu suddenly became serious.
When she said this, Ren Qi glanced at Liu Banxian with a hint of murderous intent, causing the latter to break out in a cold sweat.
"You don't think I'm the White Lotus Saint pretending to be a fox, do you?" Liu Banxian quickly took two steps back.
"It's hard to say."
Hai Dongqing sniffed and said, "So, you do seem to have the smell of a fox."
Liu Banxian became anxious, "Body odor, that's my body odor, Brother Yin knows it best!"
Although she was unwilling to admit it, Yin Xiu nodded helplessly. Liu Banxian did have body odor on his body.
Ren Qi rolled his eyes and scanned Liu Banxian up and down.
"It doesn't look like he has used disguise or bone-shrinking skills. I have been in Ouchi for so many years. No matter what kind of disguise the other party uses, as long as they get close, they can't avoid my eyes."
"Then there is only one possibility."
Yin Xiu suddenly approached, making Liu Banxian nervous, "What?"
"Seize the body!"
"Spit! I didn't die, nor was I struck by lightning. Who could take my body away from me?" Liu Banxian said angrily.
"That's hard to say."
Even Ma Xiaoyu had such an idea.
Because no one can guarantee what happened to Liu Banxian while he was out of sight of the two of them, and what changes occurred.
Even Hai Dongqing might have encountered a change.
It's not that she doesn't trust Hai Dongqing, but because she is just a hunter. Although her martial arts skills are better than ordinary people, she is still just a hunter.
In the face of those incredible changes, Hai Dongqing's strength may not be able to resist at all.
Ma Xiaoyu took out a magic talisman from his pocket and shook it in his hand. The talisman spontaneously ignited without fire.
"The heavens are spirited and the earth is spirited, the Supreme Lord will appear soon..."
Sweep the talisman paper from Liu Banxian's head to his feet.
When approaching Liu Banxian's toes, Ma Xiaoyu threw the half-burned talisman to the ground, and the talisman instantly turned into ashes.
Everyone held their breath and followed Ma Xiaoyu's gaze, staring straight at Liu Banxian.
After a pause, just when Hai Dongqing thought nothing happened, Ma Xiaoyu and Yin Xiu's expressions changed.
Where Ren Qi and Hai Dongqing couldn't see the change, Ma Xiaoyu and the others saw that there was a shadow on Liu Banxian's head. It was as thin as a white line.
"Is there something?" Liu Banxian asked doubtfully.
"Yes," Ma Xiaoyu looked solemn, "and this thing is very special, it is three souls."
The three souls refer to the three souls and seven souls of a person. As long as one of the three souls and seven souls leaves the body, various major problems will immediately occur in the person.
So when he heard Ma Xiaoyu say this, Liu Banxian couldn't help but took a breath and felt a chill running down his spine, "Is it mine?"
"Of course it's not yours. If it were yours, by this time you would have either gone insane and become a fool, or you would have been lying on the ground unable to get up."
As Ma Xiaoyu said this, he took out another tube of talisman and pointed it at Liu Banxian's head.
Hai Dongqing didn't know what they were doing, he just watched Ma Xiaoyu's movements with all his attention.
Suddenly, he saw the talisman in the glass tube in Ma Xiaoyu's hand disappear out of thin air, replaced by a flickering yellow light.
"It's a human soul." Ma Xiaoyu said.
The three souls of human beings are the heavenly soul, the earthly soul, and the human soul.
After death, the three souls will go to three places respectively. The heavenly soul will go to the heavenly road and be imprisoned by the Lord God, also known as the "heavenly prison".
The earth soul goes to the netherworld and enters the land of cause and effect again.
Human souls wander among the cemeteries.
It is not until reincarnation that the three souls will reunite and leave the so-called spiritual world.
The so-called soul dispersion actually refers to the dissipation of the human soul.
"Why is the human soul in my body?" Liu Banxian couldn't figure it out.
Ma Xiaoyu stared at the flickering light in the tube.
"Perhaps, because the palace is actually the cemetery of someone, such as the owner of the tomb."
