Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 184
Without further ado, after the preparations were complete, Huang Donglai sat cross-legged in the formation, closed his eyes, and began to chant the mantra.

In the formation, close your eyes and settle down, and outside the formation is the yin and yang phase rotation.

When Huang Donglai opened his eyes again, the rice shop he was in had disappeared.

He hurriedly stood up and looked around, only to see layers of boundless darkness, and dots of green phosphorous fire dotted in the darkness, flickering from far away, near, dimly and brightly.

Of course, although the rice shop is gone, the array drawn by Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie's "corpse" are still on the ground. In addition, the furnace, mirror, and bell he placed on the "table" are still on the ground. They also appeared on the sidelines.

"Damn, it actually succeeded?" Huang Donglai couldn't believe it when he saw the accident.

Don't look at his smooth operation just now, in fact, it is the first time he has opened the altar. He is not sure whether this method will be useful, but he is just gambling with the idea of ​​being a dead grandson. It's just a bet.

"Damn it... is it easy for my brother?" Now that the formation really took effect, Huang Donglai quickly accepted the reality. While cursing, he picked up the bronze mirror and the Sanqing bell beside the formation.

He carried the bronze mirror in his arms, and the bell was tied around his waist.

After taking these two things, he scanned the surroundings again, and found a little red in the dots of green fire, and then quickly ran in that direction.

At this moment, the space Huang Donglai is in is a place where Yin and Yang meet.

Some of the souls wandering in this space still have a "way back" in theory.

For example, some hang themselves or temporarily hold their breath after drowning; some are seriously ill and their lives are hanging by a thread; Rescue their "spirits" within a certain period of time, and they will be able to "return their souls".

However, once these souls hovering on the verge of life and death are caught by ghost messengers in this space and sent to the gate of ghosts, they will officially become "ghosts" from "souls", and at that time, there will be no possibility of returning to life. .

Therefore, the description of this place in folklore is-the soil on the grave under your feet, and the incense ash cloud above your head.

So what happened to Sun Yixie?

He is actually much stronger than other wandering souls, because there are "soul guards" near his body to help him keep the seven souls in place, so his body did not lose its "spirit" after leaving the soul, in other words, " "Life" is still there... As long as his soul can find a way to go back, it can return to Yang directly.

Right now, Huang Donglai's approach is to recover Brother Sun's soul, as long as he can bring Brother Sun's wandering soul back to the formation before the three sticks of incense are burned, and let him "lie back" into his body , Brother Sun can be brought back to life.

Jingle bells - jingle bells - jingle bells -

As Huang Donglai ran, the Sanqing bell around his waist also rang.

This thing is a Taoist magic weapon, which can be used to drive away gods and ghosts. Its bell sounds clear and pleasant to people, but it is shocking and frightening to the ears of demons and evil spirits.

Someone might ask, Brother Huang brought this thing, didn't he drive away Brother Sun's soul?Then how to find him?
Gentlemen, I have to explain this.

First of all, in the saying that Taoist magic tools and spells can "drive away gods and ghosts", the two characters "drive" do not actually mean "drive away", but "drive away".

It's just that in many cases, people ask Taoist priests to deal with ghosts for the purpose of "driving away", so they are gradually regarded as "driving away"; but in fact, "driving" includes "driving", And there are many more options.

Secondly, as we just said above, a soul can only be a ghost if it has passed the gate of hell, so Sun Ge is not a "ghost" yet, he is just a "wandering soul", and a wandering soul is still a human soul, so the sound of the Sanqing bell It will have no negative effect on him.

Seeing this, someone must ask again, since the bell is ineffective against wandering souls, why does Huang Donglai carry it again?
It's very simple, because here... there are more than just wandering souls.

Those ghost soldiers and ghosts are not vegetarians. If you bump into two of them while wandering here, and they take them away with iron chains, who are you going to reason with?

But if you have this bell on your body, the ghost messengers will understand when they hear the bell, that this is someone who cultivates the Tao and came to the underworld to borrow the way.

In addition, besides wandering spirits and ghosts, there is at least one other thing here...

…………

"I'm going... why does it feel like the distance hasn't shortened after chasing for so long..." Huang Donglai didn't know how long he had been chasing, he just ran after the only red light in his sight, but the strange sense of distance in this space made him It is difficult to judge how long it will take to catch up with each other.

"If I go on, I won't be hanging here, right?" As time went by, Huang Donglai's heart became more and more empty.

When he was learning these techniques from Miao Yinzi on the mountain, Miao Yinzi told him - "It's easy to fight monsters, but it's hard to fight ghosts."

No matter how powerful a demon is, it is a creature of the underworld. When you fight with it, you are only fighting with it. But ghosts are different. No matter how weak a ghost is, it is also a thing of the underworld. To fight against the law of yin and yang between heaven and earth.

Not to mention, "ghosts" used to be humans... No matter how cunning a demon is, it is not as sinister as a human, and no matter how vicious a demon is, it is not as cruel as a human.

At this time, Huang Donglai's technique of crossing yin and yang, chasing souls in the underworld, is doing something against the sky, and naturally it is accompanied by corresponding risks.

To put it more bluntly: after the three sticks of incense are burned, if he fails to rush back, then he is afraid that he will become a wandering spirit here like Brother Sun.

Just when Huang Donglai was thinking about whether to leave this bastard surnamed Sun behind and leave it alone, suddenly...

"Hey, why are you here?" A familiar voice sounded.

Huang Donglai recognized Sun Yixie's voice as soon as he heard it. He turned his head immediately, only to see Sun Yixie standing two meters away from his side: "Damn! I found you!"

"Looking for me?" Sun Yixie looked at him suspiciously, "What are you talking about? Didn't we drink together just now, and then...then...eh?" He said, as if I can't remember what happened next, "It's strange... I can't remember how I came here."

"Hey! This is how you lose your soul." Huang Donglai said, "Don't ask, you follow me first, and I will explain to you slowly on the way."

"Oh, good." Sun Yixie nodded, and immediately followed.

After finding Brother Sun, Huang Donglai heaved a sigh of relief, and when he ran back, his mood improved: "Hmph, you owe me a big favor this time, it's not just one or two meals of chicken pot Problem."

"Heh, it's easy to say, you can eat whatever you want, I invite it." Sun Yixie replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Donglai's footsteps slowed down.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Donglai's expression also changed.

"Who are you?" After a breath, Huang Donglai stopped, turned around suddenly, and asked with a look of guard.

That "Sun Yixie" was taken aback by this question, but then he laughed and said, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you? It's me, Sun Yixie."

"Who told you my surname is Huang, and who told you Sun Ge's name?" Huang Donglai said coldly.

"What are you talking about?" The smile on the face of "Sun Yixie" has become a little stiff, "I am me, don't be suspicious, if you keep delaying like this..."

"You seem to know very well that I 'can't afford to delay'." Huang Donglai interrupted the other party, "I don't seem to have told you something like 'time is limited'?"

"Brother Huang, I..." The man didn't seem to have given up hope, and planned to continue acting.

But Huang Donglai didn't give him a chance, he took out the bronze mirror from his arms at that time, and just took a picture of him in the other's face.

"what--"

With a strange howl, the fake Sun Yixie was immediately revealed in its original form, and turned into a humanoid monster with a blurred face and a hunchback figure, crawled and fled away.

So what is this thing?

This monster is called "Fang Gui".

The ghost is not a ghost, but a wandering spirit that has existed for a very long time. Because of its cunning nature, it has never been caught by ghost officers, but it has long since lost its body that can return its yang, so it is wandering around in this place where yin and yang meet. Wandering, gradually transformed into a monster that was more powerful than ordinary wandering souls.

There are similarities between the water ghost and the water ghost. The water ghost will drag the dead ghost into the water to replace itself, and then reincarnate by itself, while the water ghost will only hunt for those wandering souls who have just died and try to rob them of their chance to return to life. In this way, "borrowing the corpse to return the soul"; in ancient legends, some people suffered a serious illness or recovered from life and death, and their temperament changed drastically since then, because they were robbed of their bodies by the ghost.

Of course, this kind of feudal superstition nonsense, including some descriptions of gods and demons fighting skills, ghosts and fairy foxes that have appeared or have not appeared in this book, you can just read it, the novel is just a joke, don't take it seriously.

For example, the paragraph about the ghost, do you think it came from ancient books or folklore?I actually made it up after sitting on the toilet for 10 minutes.

What?Do you feel cheated?Then you might as well think about it, those ancient classics and folklore about gods and strange anecdotes were made up by ancient people, and I will be an ancient person in another 80 or [-] years, isn’t it the same?

Closer to home...

It didn't take Huang Donglai a lot of time to see through that ghost. After all, he didn't say a single swear word, didn't raise a bar, and readily admitted that he owed others something and said he would pay it back. "Brother Huang" is not difficult to spot.

Besides, calm down and think about it, on the premise that Sun Ge's soul fire is marked by "Shoupo" and is red when viewed from a distance, Huang Donglai shouldn't have been fooled by that from the beginning; the main reason is time Urgent, he was too anxious, otherwise he should test it first and then turn back.

No matter what, Huang Donglai could only go to the red light again at this moment, and quickened his pace again.

But I didn't expect... This time he came to the vicinity of the target very quickly.

It turned out that the place where he met the ghost just now was not far from where the real brother Sun was. After chasing for tens of seconds, you might be able to see Brother Sun in person.

"Damn it! Let go of me! I'm not dead! I'm not convinced!"

"Presumptuous! Are you going to be wild when you get here? Can we still get the wrong person? Follow us obediently!"

"Mao! There are so many people with the same name and surname, how do you know you didn't catch the wrong one? Go check again, my name is Sun Yixie, and I have a brother named Huang Donglai, who is known as the old fairy Xudong. He is very familiar with the Jade Emperor, don't believe me You go ask!"

"Ask about your size! Can the Jade Emperor take care of you? Besides, we two brothers are under the control of the King of Hades!"

"Then you let the old man Hades come out! I want to confront him on the spot!"

Huang Donglai listened to Sun Ge's characteristic voice arguing with the two ghosts, and at the same time came to the back of the three.

During this process, the question in Huang Ge's mind about how that ghost knew the names "Sun Yixie" and "Huang Donglai" has been easily solved...

"It's okay, Brother Sun, it's okay, it doesn't mean that anyone with the surname Sun can cause trouble in the underworld, and I can't help you if you talk nonsense." When Huang Donglai came closer, he saw clearly... At this time, Sun Yixie was being dragged forward by two ghost guards, one on the left and one on the right, while Brother Sun was struggling to resist while scolding the street.

"Huh?" Sun Yixie turned his head when he heard the voice, and cursed after two seconds, "Damn it! Why did you come here? I almost got hurt!"

Seeing this, the two ghost messengers also turned around and sized up Huang Donglai.

Here we have to make it clear that these two are not black and white, they are just ordinary ghosts; there are thousands of ghosts in this world, and the seventh master and the eighth master are just two people, ordinary people can't run into them at all, unless you It's the kind of evil spirit transformed into a treacherous and evil person who ruined the country and the people, so it is possible to bother those "ten handsome" bosses to arrest you.

"Hmph... Taoist priest." The ghost guard on the left glanced at Huang Donglai, and read with displeasure on his face, "Are you the Huang Donglai this kid is talking about?"

"Exactly..." Huang Donglai was still quite polite, "Xiaodao pays homage to the two superiors."

The ghost messenger on the right also sneered, and said in a strange way: "Ha! Xiaodao? Are you too polite?" He paused, glanced at Sun Yixie, and continued, "How did I hear that it is 'there is Hongjun first. One day later, Old Immortal Xudong is still in front of you, huh?"

"How dare, how dare..." Huang Donglai knew that this sentence was said by Brother Sun when he was threatening others, so he replied, "My brother is illiterate, ignorant, he doesn't know what he is talking about, If there is any offense, I hope that you two will not be like fools."

In the next second, before the two ghosts could speak, Sun Yixie became anxious: "Mao! I'm going to kill you! Huang Xudong, you bitch! I have a bachelor's degree anyway! You're the one who got stuck with a diploma , are you jealous that I have intelligence!"

In his desperation, he even reported Huang Donglai's name in another universe. Of course, because he mentioned "Old Immortal Xudong" just now, the two ghosts didn't care.

"Look, I'm not wrong, am I?" Huang Donglai was calm, and took advantage of Brother Sun's words to make things easier.

The two ghosts looked at each other in blank dismay, each deeply convinced.

In fact, even if Huang Donglai didn't show up, these two already felt that Sun Yixie had been talking nonsense and his mind was out of order. Seeing him talking like this to his brother who risked his life here to save them, they were naturally more convinced.

To make a long story short, after helping Sun Ge to escape, Huang Donglai told the two ghost messengers that this Sun Yixie's life is not over, and this time his soul should be "death".

Those two looked at the "Village Good Sword" on Huang Donglai's back, and obviously saw the origin of this thing, so they believed him; they unshackled Sun Yixie and said something like "" You should take care of yourself in the future," and left.

As for Huang Donglai, out of caution, he didn't forget to use the bronze mirror to see if this grandson is real.

After confirming everything, the two of them, Sun and Huang, ran towards the "smell of incense" as if they were playing their lives.

Only they can smell the smell of incense, because their bodies are still in the rice shop, and this is the only way to guide them back.

However... they really delayed for too long.

When the two ran back to the side of the formation, they saw that two of the three incense sticks in the incense burner had been extinguished, and the remaining one was not extinguished because the incense itself was longer than the other two. A little bit, and even that little bit like a fingernail... It's about to fall off at this moment.
