Since ancient times, only after a person dies will his soul be sent to the underworld under the guidance of ghosts.
But if I say, I want to go underground to visit in advance, is that okay?
Alas, this is definitely not possible.
As the saying goes, there is a difference between yin and yang. A living person cannot go to the yin. Even if he reaches the yin, he will not be able to adapt to the environment of the yin, which will cause great harm to himself.
But this is the case under normal circumstances, but things are not absolute.
There are not a few ways to reach the netherworld through some strange magic.
In Taoism, the soul can leave the body and forcefully open up the yin and yang.
There are countless folk magics, such as ghost walkers, witches, immortals, etc., all have ways to sneak into the netherworld.
In order to find the materials for the Biquan Pill, the master escaped into the netherworld over and over again.
Xu Tong is even more convenient. Through the gap between reality and reality, he can directly enter the underworld.
Speaking of which, it seems that when Master created the Baishan Kou, he wanted it to be more convenient for entering and exiting the underworld.
It was only when Xu Tong was ready and used the Shankou to return home that he discovered that the master, master, and master's wife were not at home.
Not even the goddess is here.
Xu Tong hurriedly found Mr. Mei and asked, only to find out that not long after, the master received an edict from Du Ziren, asking him to go there as soon as possible.
So we set off early.
"hiss!
"
The corner of Xu Tong's mouth twitched, he was really afraid that something might happen, and he hurriedly said: "Where are the master's wife and the goddess? Why didn't they stop them?"
[An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended to me a book-chasing app, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www.yeguoyuedu.com]
Others don't know that there is danger in the underworld, but the master's wife and the goddess must know that it is precisely because of the master's wife that they have been concentrating on running Laojunfang during this period.
"Stop it, you can't stop it. Du Ziren's imperial edict has been sent. Your master has to go no matter what. It's hard for your master wife to come forward and let the goddess and your master talk. But in the end, they still didn't stop them, so they just followed.
Went together."
Mr. Mei said with a smile, "I guess your wife is secretly enjoying herself. She doesn't have many opportunities to enter the underworld openly."
When Xu Tong heard this, he lost his temper and thought that he was letting Sun Houhou see the peach garden for free.
Xu Tong nodded, but thought of another thing: "By the way, Mr. Mei, there is one thing. Is there any cause and effect between the Meihua Taoist and me, or is there any cause and effect between the Meihua lineage and me?
"
"???"
Even Mr. Mei was confused by these words.
Xu Tong could only tell Mr. Mei about his meeting with Taoist Meihua and the painting left by Taoist Meihua.
Among them are the words of Taoist Meihua.
After hearing this, Mr. Mei's expression gradually became serious, as if he was recalling something carefully.
After a moment, Mr. Mei glanced sideways at Xu Tong and shook his head: "I don't know, it's just that Taoist Meihua is extraordinary. Since he said this, there must be such a reason. Although I am the root of the Meihua lineage
, but I don’t know as much as Taoist Meihua.”
What Mr. Mei said is true. He is a plum tree blessed by nature, and it is his duty to pass on Yanshu. But other than that, most of what he knows and hears is what the Taoist Meihua said, or through his own experience.
What I know from my observations of Plum Blossom Village.
So if Taoist Meihua didn't tell Xu Tongming, then it would be useless to ask him.
Seeing that the reason was not asked, Xu Tong could only sigh and prepare to leave for Hades. Maybe Hades would give him an answer to this matter.
"You are going to the underworld!"
When Mr. Mei saw that Xu Tong was planning to go to the Yin Cao, he immediately felt that something was wrong, but knowing that he could not stop him, he thought about it again and again, so he took out a piece of wood and handed it to Xu Tong.
This piece of wood may seem inconspicuous, but it is extremely heavy. When Xu Tong held it in his hand, he felt like he was holding a millstone.
"This is a piece of my tree core. Since you have already taken the plum blossom hairpin, you must know the plum bone substitute method. If you are in danger, use this technique to destroy it. At least you will be safe."
When Xu Tong heard this, his expression changed slightly and he hurriedly returned it.
The tree core is so precious and is the foundation of Mei Lao's practice. Even though it is such a small piece, it is also the vital lifeblood for Mei Lao.
"Take it!"
Mr. Mei looked a little sad: "Back then, before Taoist Meihua made a big fuss, I thought about giving this thing to him, but I hesitated for a moment and didn't say it, which made him completely cut off from the immortal relationship. I regret it every time I think about it.
And now you have to commit suicide. This is your fate. If you don't take the opportunity God gave me, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
There were three people who taught the Dharma in his life, one was Yu Ji, one was Taoist Meihua, and the other was Xu Tong.
But emotionally, the relationship between Taoist Meihua and Mr. Mei is the deepest.
It is not an exaggeration for Mr. Mei to regard him as his own son, but because of this incident, Mr. Mei felt a knot in his heart.
Now Xu Tong is his last descendant. In his opinion, this is the opportunity God gave him.
Of course, he also sincerely hoped that Xu Tong could come back safely.
Seeing that Mr. Mei had brought his words to this point, Xu Tong did not dare to refuse anymore. He bowed respectfully and then stood up to leave.
There is a shortcut between reality and reality leading to the netherworld.
It's just that the route is not easy to walk, and Xu Tong still needs to call Mei Da to lead the way.
After passing through a dry forest in the back mountain, a rugged path appeared in front of Xu Tong. If Mei Da hadn't led the way, Xu Tong might not have been able to find this route by himself.
"If you go out along this road, you will reach the Dead Earth withered Leaves Mountain. If you go east, you will reach the City of Death in vain."
After Mei Da finished speaking, he looked at Xu Tong: "Do you really don't want me to accompany you?"
"No, just worry about taking care of your home."
Xu Tong then signaled to Mei Da that after he entered, he would find a way to hide this road. After all, if there was any turmoil in the underworld, and his home was connected to Yin and Yang, many people would definitely want to take this road.
Mei Da said that Mr. Mei was already prepared for this. After Xu Tong left, Mr. Mei planted a row of plum trees on the road to seal the intersection, and then arranged a set of enchantment formations to ensure that outsiders could not enter.
Come.
After bidding farewell to Mei Da, Xu Tong turned around and walked into the trail. He walked so fast that he was often thousands of meters away in one step.
But even so, Xu Tong walked this road for more than half an hour before walking out.
When we got out of the woods, a rotten smell hit us. We looked at the mountains full of skeletons, and in the distance were the hills piled with countless tombs.
But looking from a distance, it looks more like a huge tomb.
"The underworld is so big, should we go to the City of Fusei first to find the fool, or go to Mount Luofu to find the Master and the others?"
After thinking for a moment, Xu Tong planned to go to the City of Fushou first, which was closer, so he would go there to have a look first. It would be best if he could meet a fool. If the fool was not there, he might as well go to Hades to find out.
Now that he had made the decision, Xu Tong summoned Thunder, and regardless of any prohibitions, he rode on Thunder and headed straight for the City of Fusi.
At the same time Xu Tong set off for the City of Fusi.
The weather in L city experienced an unusually heavy rainstorm.
The sudden heavy rainfall swallowed up the entire city's roads in an instant.
Many people have never seen such a heavy rainstorm in their entire lives.
Outside the gate of the Fifth Hospital, security guards used sandbags to build a flood prevention belt, but water continued to pour into the hospital.
"Rumble, rumble..."
The thunder and lightning in the sky became more and more dense, making people feel as if a hole had collapsed in the sky. One after another, the rolling thunder struck, frightening people.
"boom!
"
Suddenly there was a harsh thunder, which made several nurses squat on the ground in fright.
Even the usually carefree female head nurse was frightened to tears by this terrifying thunder.
But what makes people feel strange is that in the face of such terrifying extreme weather, the mental patients in the hospital are very quiet.
In particular, three critically ill patients were sitting on chairs in the corridor, looking at the heavy rain outside. It was so quiet that it made people feel scared.
“What are you doing sitting here??”
When the doctor saw these three guys, he stepped forward and asked curiously, pointing to the lightning flashing above his head: "Aren't you afraid?"
The three of them shook their heads, and the older man among them glanced at the doctor: "This is the sky cleaning the world. There are too many ghosts on the ground. If a few thunders fall, the ghosts will be scared away."
"No, no, this is God crying, the world will soon be in chaos, God is warning you!"
Another patient spoke up.
"That's not right. God has come out. We have to wait for God here."
The three people had different opinions, but the doctor was amused by them. He felt that this might be an opportunity to observe them up close, which might be helpful for his thesis, so he simply sat down and watched the rain with them.
"You three said there is a God, but what is God like? If he really appeared, would you make a wish to him?"
The doctor tried to chat with the three of them.
But when the three of them heard this, they all turned their heads and looked at the doctor, as if they were looking at an idiot.
But this did not make the doctor angry. Instead, he felt that this was the reaction that normal people should have.
But the words of the next patient started to become weird: "If you want to understand God, it's very simple. You only need one way."
"What??"
The doctor pushed up his glasses frame and asked curiously.
I saw one patient pointing to the empty space in the heavy rain.
"Do you remember that building?"
"building??"
The doctor turned his head and saw that there was no building in the empty space.
“Isn’t that demolished??”
"The buildings of the future are being demolished. The buildings of the past are still there. If you don't believe me, just walk ahead and see if they are still there."
The doctor shook his head and thought it was ridiculous, but he stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go over and have a look. Do you want to come with me?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
Seeing this, the doctor looked at the open space and didn't know what was going on. A strong strange feeling came over him, as if there was a call calling him to come over.
“Is there really a building??”
When this thought came up, the doctor was also startled. He patted his forehead and thought that he had been too tired recently, so he started thinking wildly.
He simply ignored the three of them and was about to go back to his office when the sound of the rainstorm suddenly disappeared.
"Buzz..."
The sound of the iron door being pushed open reached the doctor's ears, and the sound of metal friction made the hair on his body stand up.
A cool breeze carrying the pungent smell of blood made all the muscles in his body tremble uncontrollably.
The doctor suddenly raised his head and saw the three mental patients in the distance prostrate on the ground like devout believers.
"Woooo..."
Suddenly, a melodious horn sound echoed in his ears, causing the doctor to feel an unprecedented panic. His consciousness seemed to have traveled thousands of years ago in an instant, and saw his past and present lives.
It was just that at that time, I was tied to the altar with five flowers and was thrown into the Yangtze River as people worshiped me.
The destined sacrifice, the outcome of the past life and this life has been predestined thousands of years ago.
"What's this???"
Seeing himself being thrown into the Yangtze River, the doctor finally couldn't help but take a step back. Only when he stepped back did he realize that he had been standing outside an iron door without knowing it.
The iron door in front of him slowly opened, and one foot slowly walked out of the iron door. The moment the skinny foot stepped out of the iron door, the muscles on the instep gradually became fuller.
Before the foot landed, black boots were already covering the foot.
"If you want to see the gods, you must first offer sacrifices to the gods. This is basic courtesy!"
The hoarse voice echoed in the empty corridor.
The doctor tensed up, turned around and wanted to run away, but as soon as he turned around, his body fell to the ground weakly.
"My hands...my feet..."
The doctor who fell to the ground realized that not only was he naked, but his body was aging rapidly.
"Be grateful to time. Your time will merge with God's time and become a part of God. That is eternity!
"
Behind the iron gate, a black robe hung down on the ground. A figure slowly stepped out of the iron gate. Wherever he passed, time began to distort around him.
The doctor's eyes widened as he watched his body quickly turn into gravel. Perhaps until the moment of death, he finally understood that he was the so-called sacrifice.
"Old guy, it's time to find our children!"
A hand under the robe slowly raised, and time gradually solidified into crystal fragments on his fingertips.
As more and more fragments appeared, a mirror appeared in front of the robe. Looking at the thin face in the mirror, the man's deep eyes gradually reflected a figure riding on the giant body: "I found you..."
