Return to the soul

Chen Yu carefully thought about what the City God said, and clasped his fists together and said, "I've been taught." He invited Jiang Yuxuan, Mo Qingzhe, Yan Tingyu, and Mr. Donglai over, and after a brief discussion, they divided the team into five teams , while assigning corresponding tasks.For example, if you encounter a corpse monster, Yan Tingyu will lead the battle, and Mr. Donglai will assist you.If they encounter ghosts, Jiang Yuxuan will set up the formation, and Mo Qingzhe will restrain them.Chen Yu led people to respond and support him.

Daoist Jinchen gave instructions to Wu Xiaodao and a group of disciples in Shangqing Palace, let them form a sword formation to attack and retreat as they usually do when practicing kung fu.

The group of people took a short rest and walked towards the inside of the cave.

The road without return leads the way.

Because the cave is difficult to walk, there are no roads in many places, so you have to climb. When encountering places that are particularly difficult to walk, she goes up first, fastens the climbing rope, and then pulls You Qingwei and the others up.

The further they went, the louder the sound of nails being chiseled, the clanging sound echoed in the cave.

Zuo Xiaoci asked You Qingwei in a low voice: "Liar You, what is this sound? Why does it sound like you are chiseling a stone?"

You Qing whispered slightly: "Maybe it is." She followed Lu Wugui, climbed up a high platform, and suddenly saw Lu Wugui stop.She thought to herself: "Is there something wrong?" She quickly looked around, and when she turned her head, she saw a huge cave hall the size of a stadium in front of her.

In the huge cave hall, there are at least hundreds of "people" working hard, some "people" are chiseling stones, some "people" are lifting stones, some "people" are laying floors, some are repairing steps, and some are building stones. The building of the house is like a busy construction site.The entire "construction site" is in a semi-finished state. Judging from the scale that has already appeared, it looks very much like the tomb of King Jian.

The covered bridge is set between the stalactites, with flowing water below, and pavilions under construction are interspersed between the stalactites; narrow paths like the previous winding mountain roads have been dug on the surrounding cliffs, and many "people" are working there. The small road is busy opening a corpse cave!In the middle of the entire "Royal Tomb" is a rather magnificent house.

The courtyard wall of this house is made of stones, like a city wall, and there are wall stacks.

The courtyard wall is quite high, You Qingwei can't see what's going on inside the wall, but can only vaguely see lights coming out of the wall, it seems that someone has lit a fire.The courtyard gate is not like the courtyard gate of an ordinary house, but more like a palace gate or a city gate.The closed gate separated the world inside and outside the courtyard into two worlds.

The place where You Qingwei is now is the exit of a not-so-big cave.She noticed with sharp eyes that there were many such caves that they had drilled around. It seemed that this cave hall, which was bigger than the stadium, was very accessible.In front of her, there are half-foot-high steps descending one level at a time. These steps are neatly chiseled, and they don't seem to be scratched out by zombies.

After Zuo Xiaoci climbed up, he was also a little dazed when he saw the scene in front of him.She pinched herself severely and said, "Isn't it a dream? It's not a hallucination, is it? What's going on?"

You Qing whispered slightly: "I guess Bai Tae-hwan wants to build a royal tomb underground." Tsk, this is quite a big deal.

Zuo Xiao pierced his eyes when he saw that someone was still bending over to carry stones in a basket on his back.She pointed to the "person" who transported stones closest to them, and said to Lu Wugui, "Xiao Guigui, go grab one and come over to see."

Lu Wugui looked at You Qingwei, and seeing You Qingwei nodding at her, she strode towards the man.

After Zuo Xiaoci finished speaking, she suddenly saw a "person" carrying a stone on her back coming out from behind the stalactite next to her. Just as she was about to call "Xiao Guigui, come back", Lu Wugui had already landed beside the person she just pointed to.

The man put down the backpack, and just dumped the gravel in the basket into the deep pit next to him, when Lu Wugui lifted it over his head and brought him back to You Qingwei.The "person" who emerged from behind the stalactite was less than three meters away from it, but he did not move as if he was blind. He buried his head and walked to the side of the deep pit, put down the basket, and poured the gravel into the deep pit , Turned back again, returned along the original road, and left.

Zuo Xiaoci and You Qingwei looked at each other, then heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.The two looked at the "person" captured by Lu Wugui, but saw that the "person" was actually a mummy.Its body is withered, and its skin still has a layer of corpse wax, but it has a pair of black eyes that have no whites, and its body is sealed with ghost energy.There is a black ghost sealing talisman drawn from the mummy's forehead to the throat.

The mummy was wearing a shroud, and the shroud was in a semi-new state, and it was still alive, which meant that it was not very old, probably within ten years.

City God came forward and said, "Let me see."

Zuo Xiaoci and You Qingwei hurriedly made room for Cheng Huang.

The City God stretched out his hands on the mummy's body, looked at the ghostly eyes of the mummy again, and said, "This corpse does not belong to the ghost inside!" With a swipe on the face, the talisman on the mummy's face disappeared, and he pulled back the palm of his hand, and he pulled out the ghost sealed in the corpse, condensing into a faint figure.This is a middle-aged man in his 40s, very ordinary, with a dull and silly expression.

The City God asked him what his surname was, when he died, where he lived, and which temple he was in charge of. He didn't know anything.The City God asked again: "What are you doing here?"

The ghost replied faintly, "Work."

The City God asked, "What work?"

The ghost replied, "Clean up the gravel."

The City God asked, "How long will it last?"

Ghosts don't speak.

Chenghuang said: "Okay, you can continue to work."

The ghost turned around and floated towards the back basket it had left not far away. He bent down to pick up the back basket, passed his hand through the back basket, and failed to pick it up, so he kept repeating the action of picking up the back basket.

You Qingwei asked: "Grandpa City God, what's going on?"

The City God said: "This is the corpse of the soul. It steals the well-preserved corpse and refines it into a non-rigid mummy, and then seals the wandering ghosts and ghosts into the corpse to drive them to work. This method is similar to that of paper figurines. More or less, it’s just that paper figurines can only do some light work of serving people because of the material, and can’t do any heavy work. After death, the body remains in the dust, and the soul returns to the underworld. He turned his head to You Qingwei, Daoist Jinchen and the others and said, "I am in charge of these souls, and these corpses need to be dealt with by you Yangjian people." After he finished speaking, he took out the City God Token, raised his hand, and the City God Token appeared in front of him. Dazzling ghost aura accompanied by golden light seeped from the City God Order, and gradually manifested into a phantom of a golden temple.The voice of the city god sounded: "I am the city god of a locality, and I am here to meet you, come here quickly."

His voice was not loud, but he conveyed it very eloquently, every word seemed to fall on people's hearts.

Those "people" who were working raised their heads in confusion, and walked towards the direction of the City God.

After they came over, You Qingwei roughly counted their number, and there were more than 400 of them.

The city god floated forward, wiped the faces of these "people" with his left hand, and erased the soul-sealing talismans painted on their faces with ghost power, and held the city god's order with his right hand to seal their seals, and the soul was taken into the city god's order. middle.

In the phantom of the temple that appeared on the City God's Token, a small figure appeared blankly standing in the courtyard in front of the temple gate.

Lu Wugui said to You Qingwei: "You Qingwei, look at the temple on the City God Order, that is the Yin Temple of the City God Temple."

You Qingwei said in amazement: "Isn't the Yin Temple a temple built in the underworld? No..." She pointed at the mausoleum under construction in front of her and said, "Isn't it built like the one in front of you?"

Lu Wugui shook his head and said, "It's condensed with ghost power and yin energy." She paused and said, "This is the same as ghost villages and ghost towns, they are all condensed by yin energy and ghost power. Yes, when the yin energy and ghost power dissipate, they will disappear, and in places where ghosts gather, when the yin energy rises, they will reappear."

After Chen Yu discussed with Yan Tingyu, Jiang Yuxuan, Mo Qingzhe, and Mr. Donglai, Mo Qingzhe sent several people over to cremate the corpses whose souls had been taken away by the City God.

Mo Qingzhe took out a small bottle, poured some powder from it, and sprinkled it on the corpse. When the powder touched the corpse, it immediately ignited the corpse, and burned the corpse to ashes in an instant.

The two people arranged by Chenghuang and Mo Qingzhe stayed here to deal with these "people", while You Qingwei and his party rushed towards the big house in the middle.

Because there were already those "people" walking back and forth just now, and this place was still under construction, they didn't have to worry about an ambush by agencies or anything, they went straight forward and arrived in front of the mansion very smoothly.

The courtyard wall of this house is five or six meters high and is made of blocks of shaded stones.Limited by mining tools, these Yin stones were not cut neatly, and the walls were uneven.However, a thick layer of corpse oil was poured on the wall, and the corpse oil was still glowing with phosphorescence. The whole wall exuded a corpse-like stench. Occasionally, painful and distorted figures of grieving ghosts could be seen floating on the wall. , There were even grudges stretching out their arms to grab them.

This courtyard wall, let alone climbing, probably cannot even be touched.

A group of people came to the gate more than ten feet high.This gate is also made of local materials, and the materials of the two gates are both made of a whole block of Yinshi.The gates were polished smooth, but there was a yaksha ghost standing on each gate.These two yaksha ghosts had blue faces and long fangs, were as strong as bulls, and their eyes were bulging like bells.

Yan Tingyu was not afraid of these two yaksha ghosts, and seeing that there was no danger on the door, she stepped forward and kicked the door.Using the strength of the corpse demon in her body, she kicked down more than a thousand catties, but when she kicked up, the door didn't move at all, only a dull sound came out.Hearing the sound, everyone estimated that the door must be at least one foot thick.

Jiang Yuxuan coughed and waved.Two men in their forties came up behind him.The two men took off their backpacks and took out two crowbars with golden runes on them!The two men cut their palms and held the handle of the iron crowbar. The blood on their wrists flowed down the handle onto the iron crowbar. The runes engraved on it suddenly glowed faintly red. The iron crowbar seemed to be on fire. .They picked up the crowbar and dug at the foot of the gate.

With a crowbar, a shadow stone the size of a fist was dug out.

The two danced the crowbar so fast that the shadowy stones at the gate splashed.

The two yaksha ghosts on the door rushed towards the two with their teeth and claws. As soon as they came out of the door, they were beaten back by Chen Yu and Jiang Yuxuan standing beside them.

Lu Wugui saw that the two men were digging more and more slowly. At first they pried it down, and dug out a shadow stone the size of a fist, and later it was only the size of a ping-pong.She thought to herself, "How long do you two want to dig such a big door?" She walked over, tilted her head to look at the two yaksha ghosts, and said, "Open the door."

Zuo Xiaoci glanced sideways at Lu Wugui, and said in his heart: "You treat this door as yours, and open it if you let me open it?" Her thoughts were still there, and she saw the thick door give off a heavy feeling. There was a loud sound, even the ground was shaking, and then I saw that the door was slowly opening backwards.Zuo Xiaoci shouted: "Isn't it?"

Jiang Yuxuan shouted: "Stand back!"

Chen Yu and the others all took out their weapons and stood ready.

Some people even took out their shields and stood at the forefront.

You Qingwei looked at Lu Wugui in surprise, and asked, "This... the door just opened?"

Lu Wugui said: "Well, the door is open! It's been smashed, of course it's going to open!" As soon as her words fell, a blood-red figure suddenly came out from the door that had just been opened a crack. The thunderous momentum flew towards You Qingwei.Lu Wugui didn't even think about it, and swung the measuring ruler in his hand at the red light rushing towards him.

The red light flashed sideways, brushed against the measuring ruler, circled to the side, and then rushed towards You Qingwei.

The speed of the red light is extremely fast, and the speed of the road without return is not slow. He rushed over with a stride, raised his leg and kicked towards the red light.

You Qingwei felt the danger, so she started with a Qinglong Town body seal to protect herself first, and when she tied the Qinglong Town body seal, Lu Wugui had already fought the red light.Only then did she see that the red light was just a naked woman covered in blood.The woman had long hair like a waterfall, and as she fought, her long hair flew up.Because the speed of the fight was too fast, the figures of the woman and the homeless figure were hard to see clearly.However, she can conclude that this woman is a ghost, not a corpse.There is no corpse on her body.

This is the first time You Qingwei has seen a ghost who can fight Lu Wugui.She has known Lu Wugui for so long, and all she saw were ghosts who provoked Lu Wugui, and they were usually beaten to death with a single ruler.

The heavy door is still slowly opening, and with the opening of the door, the situation inside the door is revealed.

A chilling air came from behind the door.

Uncle Long, Xue Yuanqian, and Xiaolong stepped forward to protect You Qingwei behind him.

Zuo Xiaoci yelled: "You Liar!"

You Qingwei turned around and looked into the door, from the one-meter-wide door that had been opened, he saw that the courtyard was densely packed with people, ghosts, and corpses!

The first three rows are black zombies, and behind the black zombies is a pool of blood filled with ghostly energy and surging blood.The pool of blood was about thirty or forty square meters in size, facing the gate.In the pool of blood, there are many corpses floating around.Hundreds of ghosts crawled out from the pool of blood, filling the open space behind the black zombie.

Further back, there are steps that are two or three floors high, and the steps are full of Bai Taihuan's subordinates that she had seen in the white house before.

These people held Tang sabers in their hands, and their naked upper bodies were covered with talismans. The talismans started from the forehead, along the face and neck, and went down to the navel.The talisman was a golden talisman, and under the reflection of the runes, they all had a faint layer of luster similar to golden bodies.It's just that there is a faint black in the golden light, which looks a little weird.

Standing behind these people were some men, women and children. You Qingwei saw a lot of familiar faces. Seeing them standing in a pile at the top of the steps, You Qingwei inexplicably thought of taking a family photo.

Standing in the middle is Bai Taihuan, surrounded by his family, including men, women, old and young, there are more than 30 people.You Qingwei estimated that Bai Taihuan's son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, son-in-law and so on are almost all there, except for Bai Censhan, who was said to be sent abroad by Bai Taihuan to preserve a trace of blood.However, Bai Cenxi was a bit miserable, he was locked in a cage, and the cage was even hung up.

The cage was so small that Bai Cenxi could only sit in it.She hugged her legs and raised her head to look at the people outside the courtyard with a haggard look.

She couldn't tell what was going on with the Bai family. They all had talismans drawn on them, and they looked like they were alive, but they were haunted by ghosts, their faces turned blue, and they looked more like ghosts than ghosts.The only thing that was better was Bai Cenxi, a cinnabar talisman on her forehead covered her face, but judging from her complexion, it was okay, there seemed to be something protective on her body to protect her from the evil spirit.

You Qingwei's eyesight is pretty good now, and she can see all these people clearly.Just as she was looking at the Bai family, the door was fully opened.She looked around, but did not see Li Taixing's figure.

Suddenly, a clear voice pierced the sky: "Heaven and earth are boundless, Yin and Yang use the law, Tai Chi is boundless, the order of heaven and earth! Break!"

As soon as You Qingwei turned his head, he saw a gust of wind rushing towards him, followed by a huge Tai Chi pattern spreading out.Under Lu Wugui's feet was a gossip pattern made of qi, and he stood not far away majesticly holding a measuring ruler.

A long-haired woman covered in blood was lying on her stomach a little more than a foot away from the road without return. Her body was full of ghost energy, and it took a long time for the ghost energy to gather in her body again.The woman roared ferociously, gaining momentum all over her body, as if she was about to pounce forward again.

Lu Wugui swiped his face with his left hand and said, "Shame, you don't wear clothes!"

You Qingwei: "..."

The woman was also stunned for a moment, looked down at her naked body, then looked at Lu Wugui, and then looked at the group of people next to her, the grimaces alternated between green, white and red.That rather delicate face turned livid for a while, then black for a while, and red again for a while, and finally, she let out a shrill howl.

Lu Wugui said: "Hey, don't be sad, you let someone burn it for you!" She said proudly: "Look at my clothes, you Qingwei paid someone to make them and burn them for me, don't they look good? "

You Qingwei slapped his forehead with a slap, and couldn't bear to look directly at it!This is life and death, and you are discussing clothes with Wan Gui Guimu!

Bai Taehuan yelled: "Kill them!"

The black zombies, ghosts, and Bai Taihuan's subordinates in the yard all rushed towards the group of people outside the yard.

Wu Xiaodao shouted: "Array!" The disciples leading the Shangqing Palace set up a sword formation.

Daoist Jinchen, Master Yimi, Chen Yu, Jiang Yuxuan, Mo Qingzhe and everyone else moved, facing Hei Zang, Gui and Bai Taihuan's subordinates who rushed to kill them.With a wave of Bai Taihuan's hand, the members of the Bai family also rushed towards Daoist Jin Chen and the others.Their speed was as fast as ghosts, and they rushed to the door almost instantly.

As soon as the two sides met, they started a fierce fight.

Suddenly, a sharp howl pierced the sky, and a frightening atmosphere filled the air, and the surrounding air suddenly became scorching hot, as if they had gone from a few degrees of winter to hot summer in an instant.Those ferocious black zombies backed away as if they had encountered something that frightened them.

Yan Tingyu's pupils dilated, and two slightly protruding fangs were exposed between her lips. She exuded a scorching aura, and even the moisture around her was burned dry by the heat of her body.She raised her finger and pointed at Bai Taehuan, and let out a scream!Those black zombies all turned around, and all flew towards Bai Taehuan.

Bai Taehuan yelled: "Corpse monster!"

Bai Cenxi raised her head, staring blankly at the figure standing at the gate of the courtyard, her red lips parted slightly, and she shouted in astonishment: "Tingyu!" Unexpectedly, Yan Tingyu would really come to save her, and would reveal the biggest secret in her body to save her.
