The two dead souls smiled more and more wildly, with the same ferocious expressions on their faces, almost like twin brothers, and they looked even more strange in the dark hall.
"ban!"
Su Zi frowned, waved his robe sleeves, and completely sealed the mouth of the dead soul, and the palace suddenly became quiet.
"Sigh... From what I see, it's better to keep it warm for a while. By then, when its soul has recovered a little, sir, try again. Maybe there will be new progress."
After Su Zi Cheng Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, he took out the jade gourd from his waist:
"Why don't you give this general a try? This wine also has the effect of nourishing the soul and strengthening the soul."
Su Zi and Qin Hongyu looked at each other and nodded.
Cheng Yu then pulled out the jade stopper, and a large stream of heat suddenly spurted out from the gourd. The heat stream was also mixed with the sound of dragons roaring.
"this……"
Su Zi and Qin Hongyu were both shocked. They didn't expect that there was a black dragon coiled inside the gourd.
In fact, Qin Hongyu was better off. After all, she and Cheng Yu were old acquaintances. However, Su Zi was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment. After a while, he looked at Cheng Yu again with a different light in his eyes.
Cheng Yu did not move the water to draw the wine out of the gourd. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed his sword, only to draw the hot flow from outside the gourd's mouth to one of the dead souls.
The dead soul's ignorant eyes, which had only the whites of their eyes, suddenly widened. Then, like a hungry dog smelling something fishy that it had not seen for a long time, it broke free from Su Zi's restraint, stretched its head forward and opened its mouth to gnaw.
"call out!"
The heat was bounced into the mouth of the dead soul by Cheng Yu.
"puff!"
Immediately afterwards, in less than a breath, there was a soft sound like an exhaust sound in the hall. In the blink of an eye, the dead soul seemed to be deflated. It could not stand and fell softly to the ground. Then it turned into countless fine powder on the ground, and then completely disappeared.
Disappear into nothingness.
Not even a humanoid shadow was left on the ground.
"this……"
Seeing that there was only one dead soul left in front of him, standing alone and stupid, Su Zi was stunned for a moment and was at a loss.
Unexpectedly, just by smelling it, the soul of the deceased would completely disintegrate and disappear.
If you take a sip of this, why don't you explode it on the spot?
While he was still in shock, Cheng Yu and Qin Hongyu next to him both looked at each other with furrowed brows, both lost in thought.
Just because the scene just now was so familiar.
I still remember that on the unknown hill outside Qianjiang Prefecture, Cheng Yu and Qin Hongyu watched helplessly as the demonic soul of Hui Jiujiu, the head of the Hui family, collapsed in almost the same way, as if he had let out a fart.
Dissipate and disappear.
Su Zi didn't know why, but after he recovered, he was still trying to smooth things over:
"Mr. Cheng, please don't take it to heart. Fortunately, there is another one. Let's put it in the Requiem Hall and raise it slowly..."
After Su Zi finished speaking, he saw that the expressions of Cheng Yu and Qin Hongyu were a little complicated, and he knew that it might not be as simple as he thought.
"this……"
He hesitated and looked at Qin Hongyu. Next to him, Cheng Yu quickly recounted the story of the disintegration of the Gray Nine Thorn Demon Soul.
"I originally guessed that the rat demon's soul had been tampered with, so it was killed under my nose. Now it seems that the souls of these two dead souls were also the same..."
Qin Hongyu added on the side, which made Cheng Yu couldn't help but think of what the female warrior had said before in the Qianjiang Mansion Martial Arts Temple:
In the land of Kyushu, no matter whether a mortal, a monk or a demon dies, the soul of the deceased must go to the underworld to report. After being registered, he or she will be reincarnated into the three realms of good, evil, and eternal life, or be established as a Yin God in the underworld to enjoy incense.
However, in the deserted land of Mobei, no one worships the incense of Yinsi. After death, the souls of the people and animals living there will return to the witch court and be collected and refined by the barbarian witches of the witch court.
Converging and refining the soul...
"jingle!"
A silent ringtone rang in his mind...
Qianjiangfu Pier...
The group of witches who had silver bells wrapped around their feet and were eventually chopped to death by Jin Shuyang emerged one by one in his mind.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu couldn't help but bow his hands and salute and asked:
"You two have been in charge of the Underworld for a long time, and you know something about Mobei. Do you know how the barbarian witches gathered and refined the souls of the dead? And how did they deal with the souls after refining?"
After Cheng Yu asked, he saw Su Zi frowning and shaking his head slightly. Qin Hongyu, after thinking about it for a while, also shook her head and smiled helplessly:
"It's a pity that I was only one step away from leading the army to the Mobei Witch Court..."
At this point, she turned to look at Cheng Yu, stared into his eyes, and continued:
"If I hadn't been lucky enough to be rescued by an immortal, even Hong Yu's soul would have been captured and refined by the witch."
"oh?"
Su Zi suddenly realized that the sassy woman next to him unexpectedly called herself Hongyu. He couldn't help but look at her and then at Cheng Yu opposite, feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
But in just one breath, he seemed to realize something, but he seemed hesitant to speak. In the end, he could only laugh and said:
"If the holy aunt was really taken away at that time, I would be able to answer Mr. Cheng's question now!"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Qin Hongyu naturally took off the phoenix-winged helmet on her head, untied the ponytail at the back of her head, and spread her shawl. The ends of her hair fell down just enough to cover her reddish cheeks.
When Cheng Yu saw that there was only a lonely soul left in front of the altar, he bowed to Su Zi and said:
"Cheng was reckless just now."
When Su Zi heard this, he waved his robe sleeves and said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I can't sacrifice the book of life and death, which means that this dead soul does not belong to my underworld. There is still one left, and it will be kept in this Requiem Hall for a while. After a while, sir, I will come and take a look. "
Cheng Yu smiled and nodded:
“It seems that’s the only way to go.”
After speaking, he smiled and shook his head. Qin Hongyu saw this and comforted him:
"Mr. Cheng, don't be discouraged. Your visit this time has been able to get some words out of the dead souls. It is considered a worthwhile trip."
Cheng Yu heard this and hurriedly smiled and waved his hand. Next to him, Su Zi waved his sleeves again, and then quietly stretched out a thin hemp rope from the dark roof above the altar, swaying from side to side like a small snake.
.
The end of the rope quickly found the deceased's neck, dexterously wrapped it in a circle, and then suddenly pulled it upward.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Boom!"
There was a soft explosion, and an oil lamp on the table burst into flames, then dimly lit up again.
A stream of heat steamed up, and in the mid-air above, only two feet were left hanging down, swaying slightly.
…
After coming out of the Requiem Hall, Su Zi re-arranged the restrictions on the hall door. The three of them stood outside the hall. Su Zi raised his hands and said:
"You two, please follow me to the side hall for a cup of tea. How about we chat while we eat?"
When Cheng Yu heard this, he thought that there was Jia Fei waiting in the Confucian Temple, so he politely declined. When Qin Hongyu next to him saw this, he looked like he was hesitant to speak, but Su Zi had already noticed it.
He glanced at Cheng Yu, then at the female warrior beside him, and said with a knowing smile:
"In this case, I can't force you to stay..."
As Su Zi spoke, he remembered something again, turned to Qin Hongyu and said:
"As for that strange thing, please ask the Holy Aunt to take the trouble to check it out."
"Su Zi is talking about the disappearance of the old Buda monk? Oh... Su Zi, don't worry, Mr. Cheng is not an outsider. He already knows about the disappearance of the old Buda monk in Wenjun Hall, and he was there on the way just now.
I have met those Brahma monks."
Su Zi nodded slightly when he heard the words, but sighed slightly. When Cheng Yu saw this, he pondered for a moment and then asked:
"May I ask Su Zi, where did the old Buda monk disappear?"
Su Zi raised his hand and pointed not far away and said:
"On the corridor outside the side hall door."
Cheng Yu looked around and saw a deserted side hall opposite the Requiem Hall. There was nothing special about it, and his spiritual consciousness could not detect a single clue.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Qin Hongyu was staring at him closely. He turned to look at her and saw that her eyes were full of questioning. Cheng Yu could only shake his head and said:
"I don't see anything wrong with it either."
Su Zi didn't say anything when he heard this, but after briefly chatting with Qin Hongyu, he said goodbye and walked towards the main hall of Wenjun Hall.
At this time, only Cheng Yu and the female warrior were left outside the palace. Qin Hongyu held the phoenix-winged helmet in her right hand, and casually lifted the ends of her hair from her cheek with her left hand, and said with a smile:
"It seems that sir has something important to do, but since he is here, he also wants to visit our Tianxiaduwu Temple. Su Zi is in such a hurry that he didn't even serve tea. Mr. Tea from Wujun Temple must try it.
taste."
After Cheng Yu pondered for a while, he cupped his hands and said:
"Cheng Mou still has some matters to attend to when he comes to Beijing this time. After everything is over, he will definitely pay a visit to Wujun Palace."
Qin Hongyu's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he put the phoenix-winged helmet on his head again. The edge of the helmet suppressed the loose hair of the shawl. Cheng Yu clasped his fists and saluted:
"It's settled, Hongyu is waiting for you sir at Wujun Hall."
After saying that, he turned around and left, causing the golden armor on his body to "squeak", and at the same time, white light began to glow around him, eventually forming a dazzling halo of light to surround him, and the light disappeared in a flash.
Cheng Yu bowed his hands in the direction where Qin Hongyu disappeared. Unexpectedly, Su Zi came up behind him again and looked at him with a smile.
"Just now, I was only focusing on official business and actually forgot to offer tea. It was really rude. At this moment, Holy Aunt has returned to Wujun Hall. Sir, it only takes me a stick of incense to come to Wenjun Hall this time. I have plenty of time and I am not in a hurry.
It’s not too late to drink a cup of tea to replenish the yang…”
Seeing that Su Zi still wanted to stay as a guest, Cheng Yu had to bow deeply and said:
"It's not that I don't want to stay. It's because I still have friends waiting outside Yangjian Palace. I do have some private matters to take care of. Su Zi needs to atone for his sins."
Cheng Yu smiled and waved his hand to politely refuse to leave. Seeing this, Su Zi no longer adhered to temporary etiquette, so he returned the favor and waved his sleeves. A circle of white light also lit up around Cheng Yu. The white light disappeared in a breath.
, Cheng Yu once again stood in the Wenjun Hall of Daizhou Confucian Temple.
After returning to the sun, he raised his head and took a look at the tall statue of Su Zi in front of him. The statue shone brightly under the illumination of numerous oil lamps in the temple, but his clothes and appearance were very different from Su Zi himself.
At this time, there were no pilgrims in the hall, and even the temple blessings had disappeared. He was the only one left standing in the hall.
After giving another salute to the statue, Cheng Yu turned around and walked out of the temple. He crossed the threshold and walked to the corridor in front of the door. He found that the setting sun in the west had completely set.
It went by so fast. I thought I would only stay in the underworld for a stick of incense, but I didn't expect that the sky in the upper world would be completely dark.
"when!"
Just at this time, a leisurely bell rang from the bell tower in the far corner. Cheng Yu turned around and saw that there was no one in the hall. It turned out that two old temple Zhus in the hall were lighting up the oil lamps on both sides of the corridor one by one outside the hall.
.
Cheng Yu Yuanshen has not solidified, so Lao Miaozhu naturally cannot see him.
Looking into the distance, Wenjun Hall in other states also emitted a warm yellow light almost at the same time.
Perhaps it was time for dinner, and there were only a few pilgrims in the Confucian Temple throughout the world, making the square in front of the temple seem even more spacious.
"You old man have figured it out."
A green shadow flashed past, and Jia Fei, wearing a blue Vincent's shirt, stood stoically at the foot of the main hall, saying with a hint of resentment.
Cheng Yu briefly talked about his experience in the Yin Division, but when the cat demon heard that Cheng Yu didn't even bother to have a cup of tea in the Yin Division, he immediately cried out:
"I have been wandering here for more than half an hour. I have visited the other eight Wenjun Halls. You didn't come out until you came back here. It seems that you are accompanied by a powerful female warrior, in the underworld.
Time flies so fast, don’t you know that I am here in this world and my days are like years..."
Jia Fei's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, and in the end he was almost mumbling.
"You cat demon is too exaggerated. I know that you have always moved like the wind. You must have gone around all the palaces in less than one stick of incense. In addition, you are impatient and can't wait for others, so you have the illusion.
I mistakenly thought that an hour had passed, but in fact it was only a stick of incense for me to go to the underworld."
The two of them just talked about it while walking outside the Duwen Temple.
"Bang!"
Just at this moment, a crisp gong sounded in front of the street.
"Bang! Bang!"
Then there were two more bangs.
The two watchmen, one holding a gong and the other holding a bang, walked slowly towards this side.
"Every moment! Watch out for fire!"
"Here! Listen, it's been a while now, and you're still wrongly accusing me of being impatient..."
Jia Fei pouted and complained, but Cheng Yu frowned slightly.
Starting from just going down to the underworld to meet Wenjun Suzi, to a brief exchange of greetings, and then to the Requiem Hall, and then saying goodbye and leaving.
It stands to reason that in such a short time, one stick of incense must be enough.
And the watchman's gong is one watch, and two bangs are two quarters. It is indeed Xu hour and quarter, about eight o'clock in the evening...
I still remember that when I went to the underworld, the sun had not yet set. In addition, it was summer and it was the longest day. From this, I roughly inferred that what the cat demon said was true, and she was really outside.
