The idea of using the dragon-seeking ruler to find the true identity of the thousand-year-old tree demon was quickly given up by He Xie. He now has no means to prevent these demons and ghosts from escaping, and there is still room for improvement in strength. He is not in a hurry to eradicate the roots or lick the corpses for the time being.
precious.
"The tree demon is hiding, can't you be freed?" He Xie asked with a smile.
"What do you know?" Nie Xiaoqian looked shocked.
"I know you were forced. There is nothing good for you in seducing a man." He Xie sighed, "As the saying goes, a couple's love lasts for a hundred days. Although we don't have a hundred days, it's less than a night, but...
"
"You still say that!" Nie Xiaoqian shyly stamped her feet and looked away.
"You...do you look down on me?" she asked in a low voice.
"I don't look down on you for seducing men, but I look down on you for giving up your bottom line as a human being because you were afraid of losing your soul." He Xie said.
"Oh, I'm sorry," He Xie looked at her and smiled, "That's the bottom line for being a ghost."
Nie Xiaoqian was shocked, silent, and secretly weeping.
"Tell me how to free you, and I'll send you to reincarnation." He Xie shook his head.
A pair of jade arms, a pillow for thousands of people, half a piece of red lips, for thousands of people, Nie Xiaoqian's life was considered miserable, but he couldn't arouse any sympathy, so his words were inevitably a little disrespectful.
An hour later.
He Xie and Yan Chixia stood side by side in front of a pile of random graves. In front of the graves, there were many female ghosts standing in shadow, and Nie Xiaoqian was among them.
These female ghosts were coerced by the corpses of the thousand-year-old tree demon and had to seduce men for it. Now that the tree demon has been driven away by He Xie and Yan Chixia, they can be freed.
"I didn't expect that you would actually help them instead of destroying them." Yan Chixia looked at the female ghosts in front of her and said, "Actually, although they were forced to do nothing, they have also killed many people over the years.
He deserves to die."
These words made all the female ghosts turn pale and tremble.
"I know." He Xie smiled and said, "They are scheming and deserve to die. Why don't you take action?"
Yan Chixia glanced at him: "Me? What does it have to do with me?"
"Yeah, what does it have to do with me?" He Xie looked at him with a smile.
Yan Chixia was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
He took a step forward and shouted to the female ghost in front of him: "Listen to me, you lonely ghosts! You have committed serious sins and have a lot of blood on your hands. I should have beaten you to death, but I thought you were just killed by that thousand-year-old smelly tree.
You are forced to do so, so I will let you go today. Go and be reincarnated before dawn! In your next life, be a good person!"
"Thank you two heroes!" All the female ghosts knelt down and kowtowed to Yan Chixia and He Xie.
Nie Xiaoqian raised her head and said to He Xie with tears in her eyes: "I don't know your name yet, can you tell me?"
"Hanjiang Guying, old friends in the world, why should we meet before?" He Xie smiled faintly, "Nie Xiaoqian, in the next life, I hope you will find a good family and live in peace for the rest of your life."
"Thank you for your good words." Nie Xiaoqian looked at He Xie deeply, as if she wanted to remember him.
The female ghosts each picked up their own urn. Yan Chixia clasped her hands together and chanted: "Namo Amitabha Ye, Duotagadu Ye, Duodiye Amitabhavi..."
He Xie looked strange. He had studied Buddhist scriptures quite a bit and knew that this was the Buddhist Pure Land Rebirth Mantra.
But when a Taoist priest recites the Monk's Sutra, it sounds awkward.
As Yan Chixia muttered words, the corpses of these female ghosts began to turn into star points, dust to dust, earth to earth, their bodies began to disappear, and a vortex appeared out of thin air in the void, and the female ghosts were attracted into it one after another.
After Yan Chixia finished reciting the last word, she looked back at He Xie and said angrily: "What? Is it weird for Taoist priests to recite sutras?"
"Aren't you afraid that Taishang Laojun will accept you as an unscrupulous disciple?" He Xie said with a smile.
"Tch, I don't believe him!" Yan Chixia said disdainfully, "Whether it's Tao or Buddha, heaven and earth have vanished into thin air. I don't care what Tao they are, I just want my Tao!"
He Xie gave him a thumbs up. He was about to ask about the secrets of gods, demons and ghosts in this world, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Another black vortex suddenly appeared in the void, and Nie Xiaoqian, who was walking at the end and turned back three times, was sucked into it.
"No, save me..."
The vortex disappeared and the space returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
"What's going on?" He Xie drew his sword cautiously.
"If you didn't enter the reincarnation, you must have been captured by the underworld!" Yan Chixia thought for a while and said.
"Underworld?" He Xie frowned and looked at him.
"Actually, they are the ghosts of the old demon from Black Mountain," Yan Chixia explained. "After the gods and demons disappeared, the heaven and the underworld also quickly disappeared. As a result, a piece of space from the underworld somehow managed to escape into the belly of a mountain in the underworld and remained. As a result, this
As a result, the mountain developed spiritual wisdom, cultivated into a demon, and proclaimed himself the Lord of the Underworld. He controlled a group of ghosts and monsters and could attract the ghosts of the dead."
After a pause, Yan Chixia also frowned and said: "But this old monster has not come to the world to cause trouble in the past few decades. I don't know what he is doing to catch this female ghost."
"Old demon from Black Mountain..." He Xie frowned and murmured.
"Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with us." Yan Chixia patted his shoulder, "It's getting cold. Hey, do you want to go to the county town and get some food?"
"Is there a way to enter the underworld?" He Xie turned around and asked.
Yan Chixia was startled: "What are you going to do?"
"Save her back and send her to reincarnation." He Xie said.
"Why?" Yan Chixia looked surprised, "You shouldn't be in love with this female ghost, right?"
He Xie shook his head and smiled slightly: "I promised her to keep her safe for rebirth, and I don't want to break my promise."
"It's just a female ghost. Do you need to be so serious?" Yan Chixia was startled, looked at He Xie deeply and asked.
"Whether it's a human or a ghost, what I said must be fulfilled." He Xie said.
"The old Black Mountain demon has been practicing for ten thousand years and is much more powerful than that smelly tree." Yan Chixia said seriously, "You can't be its opponent. What's more, you want to go to its territory. They will close the door.
If you beat a dog, you won't be able to escape."
"It's not like you're just trying your best to save people." He Xie smiled, "It seems you have a way to open the underworld?"
"Really want to go?"
"I really want to go."
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Yan Chixia laughed and patted He Xie on the shoulder, "You keep your promise so much, I can't help but be loyal. Today I will risk my life to accompany you and meet that old monster with you.
!”
He Xie smiled: "That's interesting. I'll treat you to a drink when I come back."
“We’ll talk about it when we get back!”
Yan Chixia pulled out the Xuanyuan sword, cut her finger, and smeared blood on the sword's edge.
"We only have one stick of incense to save that female ghost," he said quickly while forming seals. "We won't be able to come back as soon as day breaks."
"Prajnaparamita!"
brush!
He slashed down with his sword, and a black crack suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.
