Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth Taoist friends stay
"Is this putting me in a coffin?"
Jiang Li observed for a while and quickly discovered his current situation.
Isn't it just stuffed into the coffin? I'm familiar with this.
Hey, I even put the clone into a groom's outfit. Oh, this ghost wedding groom's outfit is actually a magic weapon.
It's amazing. He has a magic weapon for free. If he puts it outside, he will probably fetch a high price.
He touched the coffin board under him again. The material was indeed high-quality spiritual material, but compared with his own burial coffin, it was obviously much inferior.
Sleeping for a long time will cause back pain.
Jiang Li first put his ear against the coffin board and listened carefully outside. He used his cloned body to perform the Guanyin Heart Sutra, which would have a much reduced effect, but this was already his best means of detection.
After listening for a long time, nothing happened.
To be cautious, he mixed the Nine Ghost Qi and the Wine and Fire Spiritual Qi, and ignited a small handful of green flames on his fingers.
Using Jiang Li's Nine Ghosts Qi Wood Spirit to make a fire, this small amount of flames is completely powerful enough to burn through a golden elixir monk directly.
With his fingers carrying flames, he pressed against the coffin wall. The fine Yin wood quickly became charred and fragile on the contact surface. With Jiang Li's gentle poke, a small hole appeared on the coffin board.
Looking out through the small hole, the mourning hall outside was quiet and empty with the flickering lights.
There were no signs of other ghosts around, only two paper figures that looked like boys and girls, kneeling in front of the mourning hall to keep vigil.
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then quietly pushed open the coffin lid from the inside.
The coffin was not nailed, which saved him some trouble.
He turned over and fell to the side without making a sound.
In order to go to Shui Xing Peak to have a tryst with his junior sister, the sword cultivator's clone used to buy silent boots. The effect was excellent and received five-star reviews.
Looking around, the mourning hall that was completely destroyed before has now been restored to its original state.
The Flower Marriage Ghost King is really quite rich. He smashes his hometown once a day. The furniture here is made of high-quality Yin wood. I don’t know how much resources for cultivating immortals have been wasted over the years.
On the table at the head of the mourning hall, there are two ever-bright green lamps, incense, candles and gold paper, and spiritual fruits and nectar are offered as offerings.
In the middle are two tablets tied together by red lines.
"The memorial tablet of the late eldest son Du Xianzhu", "the memorial tablet of the late eldest daughter-in-law Yang Ruozhi"
Jiang Li was originally a monk with the Yin Wood attribute, so he had some understanding of this kind of ritual. After taking a quick look, he understood.
These two tablets are used to worship the two parties of the ghost marriage. So the powerful ghost king of the ghost marriage is named Zhang Ruozhi.
To be given such a name, one must be born into a scholarly family.
After clicking his tongue twice, Jiang Li began to look around with his appraisal skills again.
Now it seems that all those ghosts have gone out to harm people. If they were not here, they would be in danger for nothing. If they were not here to take out something, they would be sorry to have to lie back in someone else's coffin.
The clone's eyes were shining as he looked around, wondering where the Ghost King's dowry that the porters had brought in just now had been received.
He rolled his eyes and saw the two paper figures again.
Hmm? Are their actions different from just now?
Jiang Li stared for a while and found nothing. They seemed to be just two ordinary paper figures.
Turning his head to look elsewhere, he kept paying attention to them out of the corner of his eye.
There's still no movement. Could it be that I'm overthinking it?
Jiang Li stepped forward and poked them, and there was nothing wrong with them. He simply raised his hand and burned them clean, but there was still no abnormality.
It seems that I am really overthinking myself.
"You two have been in harmony for a hundred years. Those things that you will not bring with you to this world in life or death, I will keep them for you first."
Returning to the spiritual table, he picked up three sticks of incense, placed them on the green lamp, lit them, and then made a gesture to add incense to the spiritual tablet.
But the next moment, the flame on the incense head suddenly turned into a black and white ghost lantern.
Jiang Li controlled his clone to strike with lightning. The flames flickered twice and lit up the two long-burning green lamps.
Suddenly, the flames on the green lantern shot up to a height of two meters, turning into two giant flaming snakes that were about to devour anyone.
After Jiang Li lit the fire, he turned over and lay down in the coffin again. He closed the coffin and let the two fire snakes outside wreak havoc, but I remained unmoved.
These are two rare green lantern ghosts. It is said that the last time they appeared was in the tomb of an emperor in the Xiuxian Dynasty.
The married woman ghost found two of them from nowhere and used them to keep her vigil.
However, regardless of what kind of skills he, Jiang, majored in, these two green lantern ghosts still wanted to show off in front of him.
This time the sneak attack failed, but Jiang Li shot him into his soul.
Their strength is actually not weak at all. Even if Jiang Li is here, he may not be able to get any benefits.
But it is a pity that they did not choose to take action directly, and were contaminated by the terrifying cold flames of the ghost lantern. If there were no other heaven and earth spiritual fire nearby, they would most likely be doomed.
The black and white flames were originally only a small handful.
In just the blink of an eye, it had already spread, completely matching the surface of the fire snake.
The green lantern snake's surface turned into black and white, struggling and twisting in the air, hitting things around it from time to time, but leaving no trace of scorch.
The insides of the fire snakes were extremely hot, but their surfaces were covered in the cold flames of the ghost lamps and could not ignite anything at all.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the movement of the fire snake stopped, leaving only a little ashes and two extinguished green lamps in the mourning hall. Only then did Jiang Li reopen the coffin lid, turn over and jump out.
"These two green lanterns are great things."
After a quick scan with his identification skills, Jiang Li discovered that these two green lanterns turned out to be Xuan-level high-level fire magic weapons.
It can be used to store and nurture the fire of heaven and earth. After obtaining the fire, even if you do not refine it, you can directly use this green lantern to control it.
For fire attribute monks, this is definitely a good thing that can be used as a core magic weapon to practice.
After cleaning up the two green lantern ghosts, Jiang Li quickly checked around the house and found no more enemies.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, he randomly found a piece of black cloth and made a simple baggage before starting to search the land.
Jiang Li has some experience of his own when it comes to searching for treasures.
In an old house like this, the places where things can be hidden are actually pretty much the same.
Quickly rummaging through the cabinets, looking for the floor tiles that can be lifted under the corner of the study desk, or the hidden compartments hidden behind the plaques.
There are also secrets buried under the water in the well in the courtyard, and treasures in the bed in the main room.
Jiang Li took out a few more items one after another before leaving the place.
Since magic weapons cannot be used for storage in this place, even if he found those large baskets of dowry, he had no way to take them away. He could only pick up some of the most valuable items and take them away.
"Fellow Taoist, my friend is staying here. Can you take me away with you?"
Just when Jiang Li dug out a small box of purple coins in his dowry and was about to leave, a sickly and gentle male voice stopped him.
Jiang Li was agitated and looked back. At the memorial seat in the mourning hall, a transparent shadow appeared out of nowhere and was bowing towards him.
The phantom's clothes were almost exactly the same as the clothes the sword cultivator's clone was currently wearing.
There is no need to guess, this must be one of the two tablets, the hero of a certain secret marriage back then, the late Du Xinzhu.
However, Jiang Li noticed that Xuying's eyes were closed tightly, as if he was unwilling to see anything.
Jiang Li hesitated for a moment but stopped and turned around to ask.
"You are Du Xianzhu? What good will I gain by taking you away?"
"Also, are you blind?"
Jiang Li opened his mouth and directly asked for the benefits.
Taking the other party away is likely to arouse the pursuit and hostility of the Hwa Married Ghost King. If there is not enough benefit, he will not hesitate and just turn around and leave.
However, the arrangement of this darkly married male protagonist really surprised Jiang Li.
"Xiaosheng is indeed Du Xianzhu. If he hadn't been a Taoist friend, he got rid of the two green lantern ghosts. Xiaosheng was sealed in the spiritual tablet and would never have a chance to come out."
"Xiao Sheng once again thanks me in advance. As a thank you gift, there is a secret book of magical powers passed down from my ancestors on the beam above. Xiao Sheng is willing to give it to fellow Taoists."
"In addition, Xiaosheng is not blind, but everything he sees with his eyes is connected to the underworld wife. If Xiaosheng opens her eyes, she will know everything here immediately."
This Du Xianzhu didn't mention the reward, he just mentioned the thank you gift given by Jiang Li for killing the Green Lantern Ghost before.
The second sentence was to tell Jiang Li that in addition to the benefits he could give, he could also summon the Queen of Marriage back as soon as he opened his eyes, making the fellow Taoist sword cultivator unable to leave.
Jiang Li thought for a while but did not leave immediately. He returned to the mourning hall and jumped up. Sure enough, he found a wooden box on the beam.
He stretched out his hand to fish it out. The wooden box was not locked. After opening it, there was a six-volume ancient book bound with thread.
Jiang Li was a little disappointed when he saw that it was not a jade slip.
But after flipping through it, Jiang Li was a little surprised by the content inside.
The characters inside were very old, and he couldn't understand a few of them, but the fonts were clearly the same as the handwritten inscriptions that Jiang Li saw in Momen's illusion.
Jiang Li once asked the most knowledgeable seniors in the sect about this kind of writing, but even they were not very clear about it.
It is only said that this is a kind of advanced writing that is similar to runes and can directly mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
The information that can be recorded in this kind of writing is extremely valuable if you think about it with your buttocks.
"Then you'd better not open your eyes."
"Then since this is a thank you gift, I will accept it."
"Besides that, what does Mr. Du plan to use as reward for me taking you away?"
Jiang Li's expression did not change, and he put away the book as a matter of course. He had no intention of taking advantage of others.
Du Xianzhu didn't mind either.
"Xiao Sheng's tablet is made of purple-gold nanmu. There is a three-life stone inlaid on the base. If you don't mind it, fellow Taoists can make it into a magic weapon."
"In addition, if fellow Taoists are interested, Xiaosheng can teach fellow Taoists the ancient characters in the book."
Sure enough, they are waiting for him here. The thank you gift is actually bundled with the reward. If he is not taken away, Jiang Li will not even be able to find a place to decipher the contents of the ancient book.
Also, is the white stone below here the Sansheng Stone?
Something worth one hundred thousand spiritual stones turns out to be so ugly.
Looking at it this way, we really can't leave this guy here.
"You should have a way to get rid of your wife's tracking. Otherwise, no matter how far I take you to escape with her methods, it will be in vain."
Du Xianzhu also shook his head helplessly when he heard Jiang Li call Hua Jinggui King his wife.
"My family is sorry for her. As long as fellow Taoist monks take off the red rope and burn it, she will not be able to find me."
Jiang Li took off the red rope according to the method he said.
After careful observation, I found that there were two kinds of black hair with slightly different thicknesses woven into the red rope.
This should be the hair tie for ghost marriage.
After forming a ghost marriage, their fates are tied together before the two parties' yin life ends.
This is probably the reason why the ghost king Yang Ruozhi did not directly kill the cheap husband she was forced to form.
Because the connection between the two parties is too deep, once one party dissipates, the other party will also be severely hit.
But Jiang Li thought for a moment and still did not burn the red rope directly.
Instead, just rub it with your fingertips and immediately loosen the red rope.
Pull out the red thread and every hair inside.
He took out a small bottle of dragon's blood and used the blood as ink to draw symbols on the black paper.
Each red thread and hair is individually wrapped with a black talisman of dragon blood.
After doing this, Du Xianzhu seemed to sense something and opened his eyes.
"Fellow Taoist, our contact has been severed, and she has also found out. Let's leave quickly."
Hearing that a ghost king who was more powerful than the god-transformation monk was rushing to the battlefield, Jiang Li grabbed the spirit tablet in front of him and left the house.
As for the memorial tablet of Ghost King Yang Ruozhi, he had no intention of taking it away.
If he was holding that tablet, even across the entire Eastern Region, the opponent would probably be able to lock his position instantly.
After leaving the house, Jiang Li decisively threw the groom's red coat into the corner of the road, and then quickly moved away from the scene of the incident.
After running far away, Jiang Li suddenly heard an angry scream behind him. It was the female ghost who was back.
Jiang Li hid directly in a nearby restaurant.
Not long after, on the street outside, the greasy-faced butler led people to search along the road anxiously.
Fortunately, there are many ghost kings in Fengdu, and they cannot search everywhere at will.
After drinking eight pots of tea and no one came to his door, he finally felt relieved.
"Master Du, do you know the situation in Fengdu City?"
Sitting in the corner of the Ghost Restaurant, although this place is weird, it can still be considered safe.
Putting Du Xianzhu's spiritual amulet in his arms, Jiang Li ordered two plates of side dishes made with poisonous insects and started to communicate with each other.
"My ancestors were not from Fengdu. The ancestral home was moved here by Miss Yang more than ten years ago."
"But even though Xiaosheng has been staying in the spiritual tablet, through Miss Yang's eyes, I still know a little bit about the situation here."
"Fellow Taoist, if you need it, Xiaosheng can give you a brief introduction."
Jiang Li naturally did not disagree.
It turns out that this underworld illusion appeared much earlier than the Eastern Immortal Cultivation World thought.
Long before the Ghost King Wasteland was called the Ghost King Wasteland, the illusion of the underworld had already appeared in that area. The environment was completely different from the current world of immortality, and it had a fatal attraction for all ghosts.
After all, it is the destination of the dead. Without the legendary underworld to govern them, it would be like a Garden of Eden for ghosts.
Every time the illusion appears, it will attract a large number of ghosts to enter.
Then, I don’t know what they got inside, and more and more ghost kings were born, and finally the Ghost King Wasteland became the prestige of the Jedi in the Eastern Region.
"Xiaosheng's wife once visited a strange place. Although I couldn't see clearly that time, it seemed to be a strange mountain range where everything was completely upside down."
