The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 148: Encountering Gungun on the Road, Entering the Yin-Yang Realm for the First Time (asking for monthly tickets)
"Taiyi is close to Tiandu, and the mountains are connected to the edge of the sea."

"White clouds close up when I look back, and green mist disappears when I look in."

Above the mountains and forests, Lu Chen was riding the wind and hurrying on his way.

The scenery of Mount Zhongnan came into view, making him feel relaxed and happy.

"It's worthy of being a place where countless people compete to live in seclusion. The scenery is indeed beautiful."

Lu Chen was hurrying on his way while enjoying the scenery. From time to time, some strange fluctuations would appear in the mountains and forests.

Lu Chen investigated several times and found that they were some animals that had turned into monsters.

There were tigers, leopards, snakes, and even Lu Chen found a wild elephant happily chewing bamboo in a bamboo forest.

When he saw Lu Chen flying through the sky, he crawled on the ground in fear, holding a very bright and complete bamboo high above his head.

Lu Chen waved his hand casually, and the bamboo fell into his hand.

Gungun raised his head, looking very happy that Lu Chen accepted his bamboo.

"Since we've met, it's fate. Well, I'll give you a chance."

Lu Chen chuckled, stretched out his hand, and a divine thought carrying a method of demon cultivation fell on Gun Gun.

The demon cultivation method was obtained from the bull demon in the Journey to the West world. The demon cultivation methods in the early stage were basically the same. If the bull demon could practice, Gun Gun could naturally practice as well.

However, if the tiger, leopard and snake he had met earlier knew this, they would definitely scold him, "It's up to you whether we are destined to meet or not. Why didn't you give us a chance when we passed by our territory?"

Lu Chen was naturally also fond of the national treasure GunGun. This guy was extremely honest and looked very cute.

Of course, Lu Chen also deliberately mixed some methods of cultivating one's mind into his thoughts, as well as warnings not to hurt others easily.

After all, although GunGun looks cute, if it comes to killing people, he can still hit someone on the head with one palm.

After leaving the bamboo forest, Lu Chen flew for a while, then landed on the ground and prepared to recover his consciousness.

The Purple Mansion Realm can also fly, but it consumes too much spiritual energy.

After all, one has to control the wind all the time, and very few people in the Purple Mansion realm can fly to travel.

For example, Senior Brother Huinan was at the peak of the Purple Mansion Dragon and Tiger Realm, but he did not dare to fly casually to travel. He used the methods of a true martial artist to travel explosively.

If it wasn't difficult to identify the direction in the deep mountains, Lu Chen would not have chosen to fly in the sky.

By the time he had recovered his consciousness, he had no idea how far he had walked on the ground.

While Lu Chen was regulating his breathing, several ragged men were secretly looking at him, pointing at him from time to time.

Lu Chen naturally discovered these people, but he didn't care.

These people were almost skin and bones, and the weapons they carried were just long poles or hatchets with rolled blades, which posed no threat to him.

Just looking at their appearance, you can tell that they are all pitiful people.

Just when Lu Chen finished regulating his breathing and was about to leave, someone finally couldn't help it and walked over cautiously.

"Immortal... Immortal, help me."

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said timidly: "Are you an immortal?"

Lu Chen glanced at the man, smiled, and ignored the incoherent words he had spoken. He waved his hand and said, "No need to kneel down. Stand up. I am not an immortal, but a Taoist priest. What do you want from me?"

The man's knees stood up again as if time had gone back.

"Immortal! Really an immortal!"

The man was overjoyed and shouted behind him, "It's the immortal! Daniu! Ergou! Sanhutu! Come out! It's really the immortal! We found the immortal! The village is saved! Come and meet the immortal quickly!"

This name is in line with the times and their identity characteristics.

Hearing this person's call, the other three people also came out one after another, bowed their heads and said, "Greetings, Immortal!"

"I am not... Never mind, let's all get up."

Lu Chen had no choice but to lift the four people up again. The four people's eyes were sparkling, and they were obviously shocked by Lu Chen's move. Two of them had just stood up, but their legs went weak again and they knelt on the ground again.

Lu Chen: “…”

"Immortal, I...I feel comfortable talking while kneeling." Everyone was almost crying with nervousness.

I have disobeyed the will of the emperor. Will I be struck to death by thunder?

Lu Chen was helpless. He couldn't even pull himself up. However, it was normal for people in this era to kneel at any time. Lu Chen didn't force it and asked, "What do you want from me?"

When it came to business, the four of them started talking at once.

"Wait a minute! One person said, and the others shut up."

Lu Chen, whose ears were buzzing from the noise from the four people, shouted, and the voices of the four people were suppressed in an instant.

The four of them also understood that the immortal was angry, and they immediately became trembling with fear.

"Tell me! What's your name, where are you from, and why do you want to see me?"

Lu Chen pointed at the first person and that person immediately said, "Immortal... Immortal, my name is Wang Hu. The four of us are from Wangjia Village. A demon came to our village to harm people. We heard that there is an immortal practicing in Mount Zhongnan, so we came here to ask the immortal to save our village!"

"A demon that harms people?"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Tell me in detail."

"Yes."

Wang Hu told the story slowly.

"We are from Wangjia Village in Lantian County at the foot of Mount Zhongnan. In recent days, a demon has appeared around the village. Some people have seen it and said it looks like an old wolf, but as big as a calf. People are dying every day. Seven people have died in the village so far. Their hearts have been dug out, so we are here to find a god to save our village!"

Lu Chen thought about it and nodded: "Where is the village? Lead the way, I will go and take a look."

The mission this time has the words 'subdue demons and devour the loyal heart'.

The last three words... Lu Chen felt that he could ignore them.

You can give "subduing demons and monsters" a try to see if it can be considered as part of completing the task.

After all, snake monsters and scorpion monsters are demons, so other monsters are also demons, right?

Of course, there are conditions for Lu Chen to exorcise demons. For example, Lu Chen ignored the demons that stayed in the deep forests of Mount Zhongnan.

There are so many monsters in the world that Lu Chen cannot kill them all. It is better to kill those monsters that are harmful to humans first.

"Yes, Immortal."

When Wang Hu saw that Lu Chen agreed, he was overjoyed and quickly took the other three to lead the way for Lu Chen.

But they were too slow, so Lu Chen took out a piece of yellow paper, casually drew a talisman on it, and then threw it forward. The talisman paper ignited without fire and turned into four rays of light that fell on the four people.

Wang Hu and his three companions instantly sped up their pace.

"Don't panic. These are some of my little tricks. I will bless you with the magic talisman, which will make it possible for you to walk on the mountain roads as if they were walking on flat ground." Lu Chen said to the four people who were in doubt.

Wang Hu and the other three naturally had all their doubts dispelled. They were pleasantly surprised and hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

Lu Chen didn't let them waste time and hurried on their way.

With the help of the magic talisman, the four of them moved very quickly, and after a short while, the tall trees in front of them disappeared, and it seemed that they had already left the mountain.

After walking a short distance, we saw a small village at the end of our sight, which was mostly built with thatch and mud.

I could still faintly hear the sound of crying.

"Immortal, Wangjia Village is just ahead."

After seeing the village just ahead, Wang Hu and others couldn't help but feel excited.

But Lu Chen couldn't help but frown, he sensed the evil aura lingering in this place.

It’s just that the demonic energy was a little scattered, and Lu Chen couldn’t find its source.

He said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that the evil monster has gone to your village again."

"what?"

Wang Hu and others were horrified.

"Don't panic, they've already left, go back and see what happened."

Lu Chen waved his hand.

The four of them did not dare to delay and hurried back to the village, while Lu Chen followed closely behind them. It seemed that they were just walking, but no matter how fast Wang Hu and the other three ran, they never left Lu Chen behind.

Not long after, the five people entered the village.

At this time in the village, the sound of crying became much louder. A group of villagers with holes and pudding all over their clothes were gathered outside a courtyard and watching in silence.

The sound of crying also came from the yard.

"What's going on? Why are they all gathered at my door?" asked the taller Daniu in confusion.

Wang Hu and the other two were silent.

Daniu didn't react for a moment, but after he asked, he immediately understood what was going on, shouted "Misfortune!" and ran towards his home.

Others quickly followed.

The crowd also saw Da Niu and others who were shouting, and someone immediately called out to Da Niu, "Daniu! You're finally back! Come and see, your wife is dying!"

Da Niu ignored them and rushed through the crowd violently. In the crowd, a woman was lying quietly on a tattered straw mat with a big bloody hole in her chest. Where the heart should have been, there was nothing there!

"Oh my god!"

Daniu cried out in pain and rushed towards the corpse.

"Daddy, Daddy, the monster killed Mom..."

When the two children saw the big cow coming back, they cried even louder.

In an instant, the only sound in the courtyard was crying.

Wang Hu and others also looked sad.

Lu Chen stood outside and watched quietly. Faintly, he seemed to see a woman who looked similar to the woman on the ground squatting beside Da Niu, looking at him with a smile.

"Soul..."

Lu Chen looked at the woman curiously, and saw that her soul was fading little by little.

At this moment, Daniu suddenly ran over, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Immortal! God! Please save my child's mother! Please!"

"I am a Taoist priest, not an immortal. I don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life."

Lu Chen shook his head.

If the patient is seriously injured or seriously ill, Lu Chen can try to treat him.

Now that his heart has been dug out, Lu Chen has no choice.

"Immortal...even an immortal can't save him..."

Daniu's hopes were dashed and his eyes widened.

Lu Chen looked at the soul of the woman next to him and said slowly: "It's time for you to go. Although you have just died and there is residual yang energy in your body, your soul will still dissipate when the yang energy dissipates."

"Immortal." The woman immediately understood that Lu Chen was a real immortal because he could see her. She immediately knelt on the ground.

Lu Chen frowned slightly, thinking that the woman also needed him to treat her.

But the woman's next words made Lu Chen silent.

"My god, Daniu can't see me anymore. Please tell Daniu that I put some silver and Erhua's medicine in the wooden box under the bed. I boil it every three days. We can get the medicine from Doctor Sun in the town. Doctor Sun is a good man. He won't charge us more money..."

The woman talked incessantly.

Lu Chen nodded from time to time.

The crowd around had quieted down, and all turned their eyes to Lu Chen and the direction he was looking at.

Everyone in the village knew that Da Niu and others had gone to find the gods.

But this deity... looks too young, doesn't he?

"Immortal...is there anything there?"

Wang Hu knew Lu Chen's methods. When he saw Lu Chen talking to the air, he suddenly felt a little flustered.

I looked at the sky and it was still daybreak.

Lu Chen said, "Dead people have souls but they still exist. Daniu, your wife's soul asked me to pass on a message to you."

Having said that, Lu Chen relayed the woman's words.

Daniu's tears flowed down his cheeks. He looked at the direction of Lu Chen's gaze and just kept shouting "Mother of my child."

The woman wanted to cry, but as a soul, she couldn't shed tears. At this moment, a dark chain suddenly appeared in the void and entangled the woman's soul.

Before Lu Chen could react, the dark chain dragged the woman's soul towards the deep void.

"Evil spirit..."

Lu Chen frowned, but still tried to transmit his divine consciousness, and along with the black chain, he fell into another world.

After his divine sense entered, Lu Chen saw a figure about ten feet tall.

He had a green face and fangs, spiral horns on his head, ragged clothes, a hunched body, and arms that were strangely longer than half his body. He was wrapped in black chains, and one end of the chain was wrapped around the woman's soul.

This figure also obviously spotted Lu Chen. A pair of copper bell-like eyes looked in Lu Chen's direction and snorted coldly: "How dare you! Who dares to trespass into the Lantian City God's Mansion!"

With a loud shout, the pitch-black chains instantly wrapped around Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was startled for a moment, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

"I broke into the underworld? Is this the underworld messenger?"

There is no way, this situation and scene are too much like the soul-binding place in the underworld.

But the next second, Lu Chen no longer thought so.

The chains extended over and trapped the body formed by Lu Chen's consciousness layer by layer.

only……

"Isn't this... too weak?"

Lu Chen had a strange look on his face, and he didn't even realize that he was locked up.

Subconsciously, he expanded the fluctuations of his spiritual thoughts.

With a crisp "snap" sound, the chain broke directly!

Lu Chen: “…”

Yincha: “…”

Both the man and the monster stood there in a daze.

Lu Chen grabbed one end of the chain and said a little embarrassedly: "Your soul-locking chain... the quality is not good, how about you go find the manufacturer?"

Is the Yinchai so weak?

At this moment, the monster-like Yinchai seemed to have come to his senses. He didn't even care about the woman's soul and screamed: "Invasion! Other city gods are coming!"

While shouting, he grabbed the ground with his claws and ran quickly towards the distance as if on four legs.

The sound traveled far away, alarming other monsters around.

In just a moment, Lu Chen saw countless monster heads poking out from the buildings in the brown sky and earth around him, but most of them were about two meters tall and not as tall and mighty as that monster.

When they saw Lu Chen floating in the air with the soul-locking chain in his hand, everyone's eyes were filled with fear.

These monsters are not as good as the Yincha monster just now, but if any one of them were to go to the human world, their appearance would be so good that it could make a child stop crying just by smelling it.

However, these monsters looked at him with horror, and this scene made Lu Chen speechless and confused.

If you don’t know, you might think you are a monster, but these monsters are the weak and helpless humans who are being persecuted.

However, after sensing the breath, Lu Chen realized that these monsters were indeed weak.

Except for the escaped monster that was blocked when Lu Chen was about to use his divine sense to investigate, the soul strengths of the remaining monsters are still not as strong as the soul and body strength of the woman now!

Lu Chen can kill a large group of people with just one breath!
Seeing this, Lu Chen also became interested. With a wave of his hand, a monster was sucked over.

The monster was so frightened that it screamed and groaned. When it reached Lu Chen, it kowtowed like a human being, "City God, please spare me! City God, please spare me! I am not a messenger from the Lantian City God's Mansion. I am just an honest citizen! Spare me! Spare me!"

Lu Chen frowned when he heard this and couldn't help shouting, "Shut up! What do you answer when I ask you? What kind of place is this? Is it the underworld?"

"I don't know either."

The monster's eyes were blank: "I only know that this is Lantian City God's Palace, I don't know what the underworld is."

"Don't know about the underworld?"

Lu Chen frowned even more tightly: "What kind of monsters are you?"

"Lord City God, please be wise! I am not a monster!"

These words made the monster almost cry, and he howled with a dry and hoarse voice: "The little one is a human! A real human!"

"you are human?"

Lu Chen was shocked.

you are human?
What am I, that Taoist?
At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly sensed a huge evil aura rising up and rushing towards him quickly.

"The City God of Lantian Prefecture?"

This momentum is so strong that it is close to the Purple Mansion Realm!

Lu Chen thought for a moment and decided to leave.

Since there is a City God, it proves that even if this place is not the underworld, it is closely connected to the legendary underworld.

It even has its own set of order.

The aura of the City God of Lantian County is comparable to that of the Purple Mansion Realm. If other City Gods of higher levels come, won’t he be beaten?

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!
Then, Lu Chen swung his arm, and several paper figures flew out from his sleeves.

It disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he himself was shocked and broke through the boundary and returned to his original body.

"It's similar to the dark world in the real world. It's not the underworld, but the Yin and Yang world of this world."

Comparing the dark world and the Yin-Yang world, Lu Chen felt that the feelings were almost the same.

I feel that my guess should be correct, but I don’t know why there are Yin Cha and City God in the Yin and Yang world of this world?

Moreover, in the Louguan Sect's method of entering and exiting the Yin-Yang Realm, there is a sentence describing the Yin-Yang Realm: "There are many strange things and evil spirits everywhere. Be careful when entering and exiting the realm."

This is also the reason why, although Lu Chen knew the method to enter and exit the Yin-Yang Realm, he had never tried to enter.

Now it seems...

Indeed, there are quite a lot of monsters, but those monsters are not very strong. Except for the City God, even the Yin Messenger is nothing.

Lu Chen can destroy it with a backhand!

The Louguan Sect has had mages in every generation, who are equivalent to the City God. Why are they so afraid and wary of the Yin-Yang Realm?
The most important thing is that there is a City God within the Yin-Yang Realm. The existence of the City God means that the Yin God order still exists.

Be it weird or evil, what does it matter in the eyes of the City God?

Of course, the most crucial thing is that those monsters think they are human, which makes Lu Chen confused about the situation.

And judging from their appearance, those monsters clearly had no idea of ​​the environment they were in.

Could it be that once a person's soul enters it, it will turn into a monster?
But why hasn’t Daniu’s wife changed?

A flood of chaotic thoughts came flooding in.

The people in Wangjia Village saw Lu Chen standing there with a frown on his face, as if he was in deep thought, and no one dared to speak.

Only the rustling sound of Da Niu and his two children silently carrying the body of his wife on a straw mat could be heard.

Lu Chen put aside his thousands of thoughts for the moment and looked at Daniu's little daughter.

Thinking that this time he entered the Yin-Yang Realm because of his wife, Lu Chen walked over.

He came to Erhua, stood in front of her, and touched her head.

The latter shrank her neck in fear, and Da Niu was stunned at first, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately grabbed his daughter's arm and told her not to move.

Not long after, Lu Chen withdrew his hand and said to Daniu, "Erhua has had heart disease since childhood, it should be congenital... It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to know that I can cure Erhua's disease. It's just that I need to spend a few days to deal with it, and after a few days, it should be fine."

He used his spiritual sense to sense that Erhua's disease was a congenital heart disease.

He had not studied the poison in Ma Jian's body and could not treat it, but Brother Zhinan had successfully treated this kind of congenital heart disease.

He can follow the method that Senior Brother Zhinan taught him, and he will be able to cure it in seven days at most, or three days at least.

Da Niu was disappointed at first. He thought it was an immortal who was testing his daughter's constitution and was preparing to pass on his magic.

However, although the immortal did not teach me any magic, it would be fine if he could cure my daughter's illness.

He immediately pulled his two children to kneel on the ground and said, "Thank you, Immortal! Thank you, Immortal!"

Lu Chen has become immune to the people of this era who kneel down at every turn.

Since we cannot change the influence of the times, we should just adapt to the local customs.

"Wang Hu."

Lu Chen shouted.

Wang Hu hurried over and said, "My Immortal, you are calling me a humble man?"

Lu Chen asked, "Is there an empty house here? The smell left by the monster is everywhere, and I can't find its lair for the time being. I wonder if I can stay here for a few days?"

"Cococo! So cocoa!"

Wang Hu was overjoyed: "There is an empty room in my house. I will ask my wife to tidy up the room..."

"Immortal, I also have an empty room in my house." At this time, Da Niu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up and said.

"Daniu, your wife was just killed by a demon. How can you let an immortal live here? Immortal! I am the village chief of Wangjia Village. I have an empty room in my house..."

"Hey, Third Uncle! Your house is decades old. My new house is better..."

"Ergou, just forget it. Your son is living in the same room with your parents!"

"Humph! Can I give up my room to the immortal? My wife and I will live in the woodshed!"

"..."

A group of villagers suddenly began to fight for Lu Chen's accommodation rights.

"Fairy, please stay at my house. There are monsters here, and Erhua is very scared..."

Da Niu's second daughter came in from the crowd, pulled Lu Chen's sleeve, and when Lu Chen looked down, she said pitifully.

Lu Chen looked at the little girl's dirty face and nodded slightly: "Then I will stay at Daniu's house. Thank you for your kindness."

Lu Chen bowed.

Daniu was delighted, while the others looked regretful.

What a good opportunity to invite the immortal back home, and it’s gone just like that?

If they had known earlier, they would have pulled their own children over. Some people lowered their heads and stared fiercely at their own timid children, thinking about being beaten with the soles of their shoes when they got home.

Look at Erhua, and then look at your own child, why don’t they know how to get close to the immortal and play the victim?

At this time, Wang Hu's eyes turned and he immediately said, "My God, Daniu's wife has passed away. Daniu can't cook. I'll ask my wife to cook and send it to you."

Just when Lu Chen was about to say no, he didn't need to eat, but Wang Hu turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran: "I'll let my wife cook for you, immortal!"

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly.

A woman in the crowd quietly squeezed out of the crowd and quickly ran towards Wang Hu.

This Wang Hu asked me to cook for him, but he didn’t even take me home?

Lu Chen also noticed this scene and felt a little ridiculous.

Wang Hu was obviously afraid that others would compete with him for his right to eat, so he even forgot to call his wife away.

Lu Chen said to the crowd again: "Everyone, please go back first. I need to rest for a while."

The paper figures were still in the Yin-Yang Realm, and he planned to connect to one to see the situation first.

After hearing what Lu Chen said, the crowd quickly dispersed, leaving only a group of men in the field, each holding a tool for digging pits in their hands.

These are the ones who stayed behind to help dig the graves.

Perhaps it's because of this era, death seems very common.

Even the big shots have recovered now after crying for a while.

Only two children cried from time to time.

Lu Chen didn't care. Life and death, separation, that was the natural cycle.

As long as it doesn't involve himself, he doesn't have any special feelings about it.
