My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 11 Old Man Liu
Jiang Yuan called the dark, misty pill a "ghost pill", not a random name.

This ghost does not refer to ghosts and ghosts, but "ghosts with clear spirits".

The ghost of Qingling is often used to refer to one thing——

Yin god!

Practitioners leave their spiritual thoughts out of the body and turn them into mist-shaped figures about three feet high.

That villain is floating like a ghost, like a dream, like a shadow, and like a ghost. He can enter the underworld when he goes up, and swim in the underworld when he goes down. He is a yin god.

This is a clear mind.

Therefore, the Yin God is called "the ghost of the clear spirit".

However, the Qingshen ghost transformed by Jiang Yuan through the ghost pill is quite different from the real Yinshen.

The yin god is transformed by the spiritual consciousness of the practitioner, and the Jiang principle is that the physical body is directly transformed into a mist-shaped villain.

He also couldn't do the legendary going out of the dark and into the dark.

Usually, those who can express Yin spirits are called ghosts and immortals.

Obviously, Jiang Yuan did not become a ghost fairy in one leap.

In addition, the fruit status of the five immortals, such as heaven, earth, god, human, and ghost, refers to the level and realm of practice, and also the corresponding power obtained from heaven and earth.

Take ghosts as an example.

The life and death of mortals are involuntary, and there is a definite number in the life and death book.

After the end of life, they will go to the underworld to be judged by Yama in the Ten Halls, who will determine good and evil, and enter the six rounds of reincarnation. In the next life, they may be humans or animals.

And if you become a ghost fairy, you can increase your lifespan to 300 years. This lifespan is not attributed to life and death, but a gift from God.

At the end of life, or accidental death, the yin spirit can enter the underworld, without being judged by Yama, without entering reincarnation, and directly reincarnated.

If you don't want to be reincarnated, you can also entrust other things to repair corpses and undo immortals (between ghosts and immortals, not belonging to the five immortals, not the righteous way), and continue to live in the yang world.

As the saying goes, "the yin is detached, and the gods are unknown", which is to describe the ability of ghosts and immortals.

In the Han Dynasty, there were [-] ranks of military merit, and the heavenly court had a rank [-] Lingxiao Tianlu, and the five immortal fruit ranks, which can be called heaven and earth meritorious ranks.

After cultivating the corresponding realm, one can obtain the corresponding power from the heavens.

That's why it is often said that the practice of a practitioner is to compete with the heavens.

So, what about the relationship between Yinshen and Guixian?

Practitioners first go through the three steps of keeping the spirit, feeding the qi, and refining the qi, and after completing the three steps, the acquired will return to the innate, and the foundation of the immortal way will be forged.

Then refine the consciousness in the stillness, use the innate qi in the body to transform into the yin spirit, and finally the spirit connects the heaven and the earth, and achieves the status of ghost and fairy.

It can be seen from this process that Yin God is not only a way of Taoism for ghosts and immortals, but also a way of practice.

If you want to use the yin spirit to go out of the netherworld and into the underworld, you must have enough cultivation base to support it.

In other words, Jiang Yuan's "ghost of the pure spirit" has only the shape of a yin god, without the ability of ghosts and immortals.

Regarding ghosts and immortals, Jiang Yuan has inquired a lot from Qingyang veterans and Wang Xu, and he is not completely ignorant.

Combined with the information from Gui Dan, he quickly understood the difference between the two.

There is indeed a slight disappointment, but more of a gift-like ecstasy.

Although this pure spirit ghost is not the yin spirit of ghosts and immortals, it can definitely be used to glimpse a part or two of ghosts and immortals' cultivation, paving the way for future cultivation in advance.

More importantly, Jiang Yuan's current predicament can finally be solved.

Liu He's parents died early, and he made a living hunting when he was young.

When he encountered a big tiger while hunting, he tried his best to kill the tiger, but he was also seriously injured.

When he was about to die in Huangquan, Beiyang Mountain God appeared, saying that he admired his bravery, and brought him to the mountain mansion for treatment.

After he recovered from his injury, in order to repay his kindness, and had no relatives outside, he stayed in Beiyang Mountain Mansion to raise tigers for the mountain god.

This is decades.

The young and strong hunter has turned into a gray-haired old man, and the little tiger boy has become one of the housekeepers of Beiyang Mountain Mansion, and even has a family of children and grandchildren.

Old man Liu has long regarded Beiyang Mountain Mansion as his home, and today's mountain mansion suffered a catastrophe, which really made him feel heartbroken.

"When you take down the demon thieves, you must let the master cut them into pieces!"

During the chaos before, old man Liu was protected at home by his relatives. He didn't leave the house until the mountain god returned to the house, under the care of his little granddaughter.

Although he was promoted to a housekeeper, he was undoubtedly most concerned about the tiger he had raised for many years.

When I rushed to the veterinary house, I saw nothing but nothing. After hearing the news that all the tigers had died, my eyes suddenly went dark.

"Grandpa, don't scare me, woohoo, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have brought grandpa here."

The little granddaughter, who was wearing a double bun, was so frightened that her lips turned pale, and she cried while supporting her grandfather.

"Don't cry, baby, don't cry, grandpa is fine."

Old man Liu quickly braced himself and comforted his granddaughter with his thin palms.

The little girl stared at her big wet eyes, grabbed Grandpa's hand and begged:

"Let's go home, Grandpa, father and mother can't find you, they should be anxious."

Old man Liu's heart softened, and he wiped away tears for his granddaughter: "Well, let's go back."

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in the old man's ear:

"Sorry old man, I have to delay you."

Old man Liu hurriedly turned his head, and there seemed to be a cold fog drifting by in front of his eyes, but there was no one.

"Demon, monster?"

After reacting, fear arose, and after the fear, I suddenly remembered my beloved tiger group, and what I saw and heard along the way, and I hated it even more.

At this time, there was a huge bang in the distance. It was the mountain god who was catching the evildoer.

"No, I have to remind the master, there is another fish that slipped through the net!"

Loyalty to the mountain mansion and resentment for the destruction of his homeland made the old man rush with blood, so he wanted to shout loudly.

"Old man, you don't want your granddaughter anymore?"

"Grandpa, why are you shaking?"

The simultaneous voices from beside his ear and beside him made Old Man Liu's hands and feet go cold for a moment, and he couldn't yell out the words that came to his lips.

"Old man, I'm not a bad person. If you do something for me, I won't hurt your granddaughter."

"After all, what a lovely girl, isn't she?"

Old man Liu looked around, but couldn't find any trace of "monster".

In fact, a mist-shaped villain was floating around him.

However, firstly, the fog was too thin, and secondly, the light of the pearl above the mountain mansion was very bright, so the old man couldn't see it.

The villain in the mist shape is naturally Jiang Yuan.

When he left the alchemy room, he wanted to float out of the mountain mansion directly.

However, when it reached the mountain wall above, it hit an invisible film of light, which could not penetrate the roof of the cave at all.

Obviously, the Beiyang Mountain Divine Mansion built inside the mountain is an independent space with protective restrictions.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yuan remembered the secret path of the corpse tomb when he came here.

It's a pity that I was too panicked at that time, so I just ran away and forgot the location of the corpse.

Prior to this, Jiang Yuan had interrogated several people, and they all said that there were no corpses in the Shanshen Mansion.

Later, it was speculated that the corpse tomb might be a secret place, and the person looking for it was too young, so he hadn't heard of it.

So Jiang Yuan approached Old Man Liu.

Not only because of his age, but also the people around him respect this old man and call him a housekeeper.

It is not easy for an ordinary old man to serve as the housekeeper of Shanshen Mansion.

The old man is accompanied by his granddaughter, which is another convenient condition.

Jiang Yuan was not disappointed this time.

When he first mentioned the corpse tomb, Old Man Liu also replied that he had never heard of it.

But after Jiang Yuan uttered descriptions such as "dark cave" and "filthy corpses all over the floor", the old man gave the answer.

"It turned out to be there."

The old man's tone was a little weird.

"The master opened up the mountain mansion here at the beginning, but he thought the cave was too dirty, so he connected it to the animal house and used it as a place for excrement. Later, the animal house was moved, and it was directly abandoned."

"You call it a 'corpse mound' because there are undigested bones of tiger pets?"

Old man Liu's last words were obviously disgusting Jiang Yuan to express his dissatisfaction.

Jiang Yuan was indeed disgusted, and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Damn raccoon, you're so fucking good at talking!"

Cough twice to ease the embarrassment, and ordered the old man angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, take me to the corpse, uh, that cave."

"Can you keep your old granddaughter?"

Old man Liu tried to bargain, but Jiang Yuan rudely refused:

"You must take her with you!"

The old man just now looked like he was about to sacrifice his life for righteousness. Without his granddaughter, how could he lead the way honestly.

At the same time, the movement in the distance became louder, and the sound of wind and sand blowing was faintly heard.

The raccoon demon used the sandbag again, indicating that the battle was already heating up and the winner was about to be decided.

Jiang Yuan believed that at least one or two of those monsters could escape, and those who escaped would definitely go through the secret path of the corpse tomb.

He was worried that special techniques would be required to open the secret passage of the corpse tomb, so he had to arrive early and make preparations early.

"She is still young, it will be troublesome to carry her."

Old man Liu also heard the movement in the distance, and his mind was agitated, trying to delay the time.

Just halfway through the words, the heart fell into the ice cave, and the blood flow in the whole body suddenly stopped.

The strange voice sounded again, and the scary thing was that the voice came from inside him.

"Next, I will hold your granddaughter's heart until I reach the cave."

"How long do you think she can last?"

The voice was cold and ferocious, like a ghost of the Nine Netherworld.

After the words fell, old man Liu noticed that the chill had left him, he hurriedly hugged his granddaughter, and said in panic:

"Please don't."

However, the granddaughter in her arms began to tremble, grabbed his hand tightly, and cried out in pain: "Grandpa, I'm so cold, there is a voice that wants to eat me, I'm so scared."

"Don't be afraid, baby, grandpa is here." Old man Liu quickly comforted his granddaughter, and then begged for mercy: "I'm wrong, immortal, please let my granddaughter go!"

The voice just replied coldly: "The countdown has begun."

"no, do not want!"

Old man Liu is the steward of the mountain mansion, and the mountain god of Beiyang has practiced alchemy, so he naturally took the elixir that prolongs life.

He is nearly sixty years old, with gray hair, but he is free from illness and disaster, and his legs and feet are sharp.

Seeing that there was no kindness in the voice, he became ruthless, picked up his granddaughter and ran outside.

"What's the matter with Butler Liu, what happened to your daughter?"

Someone on the road asked about it, and the old man roared in a muffled voice: "My daughter is suffering from the cold, I will take her home."

"Then let me come, you are old."

"Need not!"

The old man hugged his granddaughter, and when he met someone, he said, "My daughter is sick, I will take her home", and then ran away sullenly.

Across the cloister, through the courtyard, the man who ran straight was panting, his white hair was soaked in sweat.

After running through a deserted yard, a mountain wall appeared in front of him, reaching the boundary of Shanfu.

Old man Liu was exhausted, his lungs were burning, and his feet weighed ten thousand catties.

"Huh, ahead, huh, we're here, please let go of my granddaughter first."

The old man's eyes turned black, and only one obsession remained to support his body.

In fact, halfway through, the granddaughter in his arms stopped trembling, but was frightened by his crazy state.

Finally, a hole appeared.

After approaching, a disgusting stench wafted out from time to time.
