Li Xiuyuan blocked the gap in the underworld alone. The ghosts and ghosts who tried to rush out from the underworld were instantly suppressed. They all retreated back to the underworld and no longer dared to move forward.
His aura restrained ghosts too much, and ghosts could not gain a foothold within nine feet. Even if there were occasionally a few fierce evil ghosts, they would rush over without knowing why, trying to get past Li Xiuyuan and escape into the world of the world.
But he only took two steps forward, and he could no longer bear the damage like boiling oil poured over his body. The monster screamed and fell away.
"There are already enough demons and ghosts in the world of the underworld. If we let you out, there will be another great turmoil in the world of the underworld. Since I appeared today, I will guard this gap here to prevent you from returning to the underworld." Li Xiuyuan glanced not far away.
The group of evil ghosts in the underworld.
"You have the ability to exorcise ghosts and demons, but since the gap in the underworld has been opened today, God has given us the opportunity to return to the earth. You are an expert, how can you go against the will?" One looked like
The scholar-looking ghost shouted from afar.
Li Xiuyuan said: "God has given you the opportunity to return to the earth, but it has also given me the opportunity to stop you. How do you know that my appearance is not God's will?"
The scholar ghost was immediately speechless and unable to refute.
Another ghost said: "There are already many ghosts staying in the upper world. Why do they enjoy happiness in the upper world, but we have to suffer in the underworld?"
"The way of heaven is out of balance, yin and yang are out of balance, and there are endless demons and monsters in the Yang world. Do you think they are enjoying happiness in the Yang world? This is a very stupid idea. People in the world are afraid of evil ghosts as they are afraid of tigers. If evil ghosts cause trouble, the people will ask the gods to arrest them. Taoist priests
Drive away, or be controlled by monsters, work for them, and don't even have a chance to be reincarnated. Which side do you think will enjoy the blessings and which side will suffer?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Whether you want to enjoy happiness or suffer hardship, you have to try it before you know." The ghost said again.
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "Didn't you try it just now? You met me when you stepped out of the underworld and were suppressed by me. If my methods were more cruel, you would not even have a chance to become ghosts, and you would only become weeds and insects in the next life. You
Do you think this is a blessing or a punishment?"
The ghost was suddenly speechless again.
"I have grievances that have not been redressed in the human world. Wouldn't it be better if you let me return to the human world and after I have redressed my grievances, I will naturally let go of my obsession and go and be reincarnated?" Another ghost said.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "Your grievances are caused by the injustice of the court and the ignorance of the gods. You have lost the opportunity to redress your grievances. This is the root cause of the chaos in the world. You can wait in the underworld. When order is restored in the underworld, you can
Naturally, your grievances can be redressed, but if I release you back to the earth today, it will only make the world more turbulent. There are too many ghosts in the underworld. Not every ghost is here to redress your grievances. If you are sensible, you should endure it for a while.
, I think you all have relatives, heirs, right? You don’t want your relatives and heirs in the world to be entangled by evil spirits and make their lives miserable, right?"
The ghost suddenly fell silent again.
Yes, it is comfortable to be a ghost and take revenge in the world, but as for your relatives and children, they will not be revenged by other evil ghosts.
For a time, all the sensible ghosts gave up their plans to return to the earth.
There are too many ghosts in the underworld, and these ghosts all have their own reasons for returning to the underworld. They tried to persuade Li Xiuyuan one by one, but were refuted by Li Xiuyuan one by one.
Just one word of reason made many evil spirits surrender.
But not all ghosts are so reasonable.
"I am already a first-class ghost general in the underworld. I am a little bored in the underworld. I want to go to the earth for a walk. If you still dare to stop me, even if I can't deal with you when I return to the earth, I will
I want to take away the souls of your parents and relatives, and make you miserable. If you are willing to let me go today, I will not be in a hurry." A tall and tall evil ghost, nearly a row tall, squeezed through the group of ghosts.
come over.
His figure is enough to show that he is different from other ghosts.
He is actually a top-notch ghost general.
Whether it's the ghosts in the underworld or the ghosts in the yang world, they generally have levels. From ordinary ghosts, to the first-class ghosts, to the first-class Yin soldiers, and then to the ghost generals and ghost kings.
Those who can become ghost generals are very vicious ghosts, and such ghosts can walk sideways in the underworld.
"If you want to reason with me, I will reason with you. If you want to compete with me, I will compete with you." Li Xiuyuan glanced at the ghost general and immediately took out a treasure bow from the ghost king's bag.
.
The treasure bow is completely black, with golden strings, and is full of extraordinary features.
This is the bow that Master Shumu Taoist made for him by taking the dragon bone of Wujiang Dragon King and Jiao Jin. It has extraordinary strength and can shoot through rocks.
Li Xiuyuan took his bow and arrow and aimed it at the tall ghost general.
Such a tall body is the best living target in front of him.
"I am a ghost general from the underworld. It is simply ridiculous for you to shoot me with a bow and arrow." The ghost general laughed.
He is the body of a ghost and a god, and the thing he is least afraid of is the mortal bow and arrow.
However, he smiled, and he still looked a bit wary. After all, the person in front of him was very good at Taoism. He blocked so many ghosts in the underworld by himself, so that there was no way for the ghosts in the underworld to return to the earth. This kind of ability is not something that ordinary Taoists can possess.
Even the gods and Buddhas in heaven are nothing better than this.
"You talk too much." Li Xiuyuan was too lazy to talk to this ghost general. He loosened his finger and an arrow flew out instantly.
"Whoosh~!"
The power of the arrow is astonishing, and the arrow flies at an incredible speed.
The ghost general couldn't react in time and was hit by an arrow. His huge body immediately fell to the ground with a bang. An arrow penetrated his chest and nailed him to the ground. It was painful.
He screamed, and his one-foot-tall body quickly shrank, and a sinister wind overflowed from his body.
In just a few moments, this ghost general's moral character had already declined and he became a ghost at the level of a Yin soldier.
But after Dao Xing fell, the Yin soldier was still pinned to the ground and struggled to escape.
"You have also seen my methods. If you evil spirits still want to force your way into the world, I will not show mercy." Li Xiuyuan said.
The ghosts suddenly looked shocked and did not dare to underestimate the person in front of them. Immediately, many ghosts felt that there was no hope of returning to the earth, so they dispersed on their own.
Of course, there are still some evil spirits staying here and not leaving.
"He is a mortal, and he needs to eat and drink. He cannot stay here forever. If we keep him here for a few days, or if it doesn't work for a few days, it will be a few months, or a few years. Sooner or later, he will not be able to hold on."
"This is a good idea, let's just fight him."
"I heard that a very powerful demon appeared here in the underworld. We might as well ask him to deal with this person. Maybe we can break this person's spell."
The ghosts were whispering.
However, Li Xiuyuan ignored it. He felt that the cave was too dark, so he took some fire starter from the Ghost King's bag and lit a bonfire.
Only after there was light, Li Xiuyuan could see the situation here clearly.
In addition to the soil on the ground, there are four workers unconscious here, motionless, not knowing whether they are alive or dead.
These are the four workers who fell into the underworld that the Earth Immortal mentioned before.
After Li Xiuyuan checked, he found that they were all dead, with cold bodies and no breath.
Also, if you fall from such a high place and are blown by the cold wind of the underworld, even if you are not dead, your soul will leave your body and your body will lose its breath.
Not just anyone can blow this wind from the underworld. If there is insufficient Yang Qi or insufficient Taoism, the soul will be blown away from the body and die directly.
"Take it back for burial." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
Put these three corpses into the Ghost King's cloth bag.
And at this moment.
Ma Dong and Niu Er have arrived at Lanruo Temple on fast horses.
Following Li Xiuyuan's instructions, they went straight to the Main Hall of Lanruo Temple. On the high platform of the Main Hall, the statue of the Lord Buddha was gone, replaced by a dry and yellowish mummy.
The golden body of the eminent monk still exudes a faint scent of sandalwood.
The monks who can cultivate a golden body are all enlightened monks without exception and are worthy of everyone's respect.
"Master is offended."
The two of them saluted, then took a piece of cloth, wrapped the golden body, and prepared to take it back.
But just when the two people walked out of the Main Hall and passed by a side hall next to them, they saw a divine light suddenly emerging from the side hall next to them. This divine light was extremely dazzling, like the scorching sun.
Being illuminated by the divine light, the two people suddenly became dazed and froze on the spot.
Vaguely there were two Vajra Arhats who were more than a foot tall. They opened their eyes angrily, carrying swords and demon pestles. They knocked open the door of the hall, broke through the wall, and said to the two people.
"We are Vajra Arhats in the sky. When we were traveling here, we saw urgent messages from saints on earth and came here to help us. The earthly immortals encountered the calamity here and exploded the portal of the underworld, causing evil spirits to pour out of the underworld. Can you two
Bring people to move our idols and place them at the gap in the underworld. At that time, we will lower our Dharma bodies to guard the gap so that the ghosts in the underworld cannot come out."
Ma Dong and Niu Er were frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground, ready to kowtow.
But just as he lowered his head and was about to kneel down, his expression became panicked, and the Vajra Arhat in front of him had already disappeared.
There was no divine light emerging from the surroundings, and the walls of the side hall nearby were not broken. Everything was just like an illusion.
"What happened just now?" Ma Dong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"I don't know, I just flashed before my eyes and saw two Vajra Arhats walking out from there." Niu Er pointed to a side hall next to him.
There are all kinds of Arhat statues enshrined inside.
"Let's see what's going on there," Ma Dong said.
The two of them pretended to be brave and walked into the side hall.
The various statues of gods in the dim side hall were covered with dust, as if no one had been here for a long time. But what surprised them was that two statues of Arhats left the high platform and stood in the side hall.
in the middle.
These two Arhat statues, one holding a sword and the other holding a demon-conquering pestle, face the door with angry eyes open and majestic.
If you take a closer look, aren't they the two descending vajra arhats you saw in the illusion before?
