Chapter 88: The Blessing of Qi People
Tianan County, Tongde Building.
Suche let out a long sigh and slowly appeared in the room.
The higher his cultivation level, the more Su Che realized that moving in the void was not a comfortable experience.
I don't know the reason behind this.
When I first entered Zhongshan Hui, being moved by Zhongyuan was like a comfortable free fall. After being slightly dizzy, I had already reached the place I thought of.
But as my cultivation level increased, my dizziness became more and more obvious.
After entering the sixth level, the feeling of moving in the void is like a painting that was originally a good painting, but was violently crumpled into a ball and then thrown out.
It felt really, really bad.
How does it feel to have Wu Zhiqi, a fifth-level master, be summoned and taken away by Zhongyuan? Will it be worse?
Suche sat at the table, took the cold Huadiao wine and took a slow sip.
Like the kind of tree.
This rare item can be said to be the biggest gain of this trip.
It is rumored that this object is one of the seven innate spiritual roots. It is located under the Nine Netherworld and has the ability to suppress all ghosts.
Jiuyou.
These two words are what Suche is most interested in right now.
According to various legends, Jiuyou has its place. The magic weapon in the hands of Yin Yang Dharma King that Su Che suspected was inherited from Taishan Mansion is called "Jiu Nether Record". The secret of Zhou Jue Yin Tian can also be refined to "Jiu Nether".
"Nine Nether Burning God Yin Fire".
In addition, Ruomu, who was sown under Jiuyou in the rumors before him.
Suche couldn't help but start to guess the connection.
According to the information he has, after the Five Emperors of the Five Directions established Heaven, the Black Emperor and the Taoist leader Huang Tian set about establishing the Underworld.
And in ancient times, there was also the matter of Taishan Prefecture establishing the underworld. Is there any connection between the two?
It really deserves further investigation.
The True Dharma of the Return of the Six Dragons in the Yellow Sky and the Overview of the Six Heavens of Purgatory.
What kind of connection is there between the two?
Huadiao went into his throat, and Suche put the wine glass aside.
The strong wind kept blowing, causing the window shading to shake.
What's going on outside?
Although it is already late autumn and almost winter, this wind is not a natural wind. It is a strong wind blown by the influence of heaven and man after evil spirits are generated. There is an evil spirit in the wind.
Ever since he entered Tian'an County, Su Che's keen spiritual sense felt that there was an evil atmosphere everywhere in this county.
Logically speaking, in a county with a city god sitting in charge, such problems would never occur.
Su Che put the Huadiao wine into the Nine Songs of Yinquan and pushed out the door. The night was still very long.
The mirage of the owl kiss was released, making Su Che's body invisible.
The strong wind blew away the fallen leaves, and the pale moon shone brightly on the stems.
The streets at night are deserted.
Only the strong wind blows continuously.
The watchman's clapper kept ringing.
The night birds fluttered their wings, and the muffled chirping of insects came from the street corners.
interesting.
Su Che looked at Tian'an County in the night. Everything was peaceful, but there was something evil everywhere.
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire."
A watchman in his forties or fifties slowly walked over from the other end of the street, banging his wooden clapper. He was wrapped in three layers of linen clothes, and his withered yellow eyes glanced at the still brightly lit Tongde Building not far away, showing disdain.
He spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground.
There's something wrong with this watchman.
Su Che opened his Lieque Thunder Eyes and noticed traces of black energy coming out of his head.
The watchman blew his red nose and moved slowly step by step.
Suche slowly followed him.
At a crossroads, the watchman raised his clapper to the top of his head and bowed down on all sides.
"The god who opens the way is on the left, the god of dangerous roads is on the right, and the disciples travel at night, without any taboos."
Where does this go?
Suche didn't know what to say for a moment.
The God of Paths and the God of Dangerous Ways are originally the same god in legends. The God of Dangerous Ways and the God of Forerunners are the gods responsible for opening the way for the dead when they are buried.
When the watchman talks like this, doesn't it mean that the god is on the left and right, jumping back and forth?
The watchman took out a piece of yellow paper money from his sleeve and lit it with a fire stick. Little sparks dispersed in the air and turned into ashes.
After finishing this routine, the watchman then stepped forward slowly.
The black energy on this man's body is getting stronger and stronger.
Suche frowned slightly as he looked at the changes on the watchman's body.
Burning paper money seems to be similar to burning talismans in Taoism. In fact, the two are similar on the surface, but the underlying principles are much different.
Since ancient times, China has been adhering to the principle of "treating the dead as living things" and "keeping ghosts and gods at a respectful distance".
When the world was still unified, the people were afraid of ghosts and gods, and often burned their wealth and silk to worship ghosts and gods. That meant taking out real silk and silk cloth and burning them.
Later, some great Confucians believed that this custom put too much pressure on the people. The ghosts and gods only asked for incense, not money and silk, and what was the use of it.
As a result, customs changed over the generations, and the custom of burning paper in place of silk was finally formed in China.
The ghosts and gods gain respect and restrain their incense. The common people reduce their burdens, which can be regarded as an advantage.
However, the situation in front of me is that the watchman has burned the yellow paper, and the black air above his head is getting more and more.
The watchman looked left and right, and his steps suddenly became more agile. Su Che followed him around and around, and turned into a deserted alley.
It has white walls and black tiles, about ten feet high, and a small black door opening on the wall.
I don’t know which deep house has the back door opening here.
The watchman took the clapper in his hand, blew out the lantern in his hand, ran to the back door in small steps, stretched out his hand and knocked slowly three times.
A gust of night wind blew by, and the cold air forced him to stamp his feet repeatedly, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, and his red nose was glowing red.
He waited for a moment, then stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door three times.
Still no one came to answer him.
The watchman frowned.
Squeak.
The wooden door slowly opened a small crack.
The watchman stretched out his hand to push it, but he couldn't push it.
"Old Qin, why are you here so late today?"
Although the door didn't move, the voice inside was gentle.
"The yamen has to issue some peace talismans, drink talisman water and worship the city god. It's been a long time."
There was silence in the door for a moment.
"My wife is angry and said she won't see you today."
"Sister Taohong, Madam doesn't see me, so you don't see me either?"
"Who wants to see this useless thing like you? Your legs are weak when you come out of Madam's room."
"Good sister, I will save some this time and wait for you when I come out."
The people inside the door chuckled for a while.
"This is true."
"True gold, my sister."
"You have a conscience."
A pair of clean hands pushed open the back door, and a teenage maid poked her head out.
"Madam is not angry with you. She misses you so much. Come in quickly and don't go to worship the city god next time, but you have agreed to do it early..."
"I know, wait until I love you well."
The watchman stretched out his hand and twisted it on the maid's face before ducking into the mansion.
Somewhat interesting.
