Chapter 104 Entering Yin
Hou Tao led me constantly to shuttle in front of various stalls in the farmer's market. Because it was already the time for cooking in the afternoon, there were many people buying vegetables in the market. It took us a long time to purchase all the things we needed.
Carrying large and small bags of things, we got in the car back. By the time we got back to the small house, it was already past 6 p.m.
Master Liu Zhi finally worked hard. When we got home, there were already prepared meals on the table. He and Ling Dang were holding chopsticks and preparing to eat.
Hou Tao put down the things in his hands and just started praising Liu Zhi for his diligence. Unexpectedly, Ling Dang immediately complained. Liu Zhi wanted to cover his mouth, but he didn't have time to cover his mouth. He only heard Ling Dang say: "These things are all willow trees."
My uncle ordered takeout, and he paid with Brother Monkey’s card~"
As soon as Ling Ding finished speaking, Liu Zhi picked up a plate of chicken feet and headed straight to the balcony as if he had been pricked by a needle.
Bang, I could only hear the sound of the sliding door of the balcony closing, and then Hou Tao's scolding voice came out. "Liu Shu, why do you have so little money? You keep swiping my card."
"Don't you think about it, your master, I haven't married yet, right? I have to save some money for a wife. And I'm your master, I eat your flowers, what's the matter? It's natural for a master to eat his apprentice's!" Liu Shu
While chewing on the chicken feet, he replied.
Hou Tao gritted his teeth and said, "The most unlucky thing in my life is to meet a master like you who loves to take advantage of me."
I stood aside and laughed, these two masters and apprentices are really a pair of treasures.
While Hou Tao and Liu Zhi were still scolding each other, I took apart the disposable chopsticks on the table and ate together with Ling Ding.
"I'll wipe it, you two leave some for me." Hou Tao glanced at us accidentally, stopped scolding immediately, and hurried over to eat with us.
After a noisy meal, we were all full. Liu Zhi lay on the bed without any image and burped loudly. After he finished eating the chicken feet, he ran out from the balcony and joined us.
We ate together.
Lingdang rubbed her round belly and lay beside him.
"Okay, okay, have you rested enough? Duanmuyang, go and get everything." Hou Tao shaved his teeth with a toothpick and said to me as a big man.
Because of our familiarity, I don't resent Hou Tao talking to me like this. If he were an unfamiliar stranger, he would definitely go up and attack him without saying a word.
I walked towards the bags placed by the door, picked them up and placed them on the table that had just been cleared away. I also took out all the contents of the bags and placed them on the table.
Two dead black-bone chickens, a bundle of white candles, some paper money and two stones randomly picked up by the roadside.
Looking at these things, I started to wonder. I had heard that some 'great gods' in the north who went to the underworld would find live chickens and the like to serve as guides on their way back to the soul.
But this is the first time I heard about this dead black chicken.
"This chicken" I said, it must taste good when cooked.
Hou Tao came over. He took off the red ropes that tied the two chicken feet and covered the chicken's eyes. I said nothing and watched him continue his movements.
Liu Zhi sat up from the bed and looked at Hou Tao's movements thoughtfully, as if he was an examiner looking at the candidates.
Hou Tao touched it directly from his waist, and a scroll exactly like Liu Zhi's scroll appeared in front of my eyes.
It seems that Liu Zhi still loves Hou Tao very much, and even gave him such a shameless treasure.
Hou Tao took out the blue writing brush from Liu Zhi's backpack on the chair. The moment he unfolded the scroll, Hou Tao took a deep breath, and then the blue writing brush appeared on the chair.
The scroll started to dance.
Within a few strokes, two blue talismans were drawn. With a few movements of the carving knife, the talisman paper was already held in Hou Tao's hand, and the scroll and brush were returned to their original positions.
He skillfully placed the talisman papers in front of the blindfolded eyes of the two black-bone chickens, and then carefully rubbed the necks of the black-bone chickens with his fingertips.
Just when I was puzzled, he suddenly grabbed the chicken's neck. With two "clucks", the chicken he had pinched by the neck screamed in an instant and began to struggle in his hands.
I looked at this scene in surprise. Sure enough, both Murong Zhen and the master were right. Among the eight other professions, Shen Tiao Sect is the most terrifying one.
Using the same method, another black-bone chicken also came to life. However, these two chickens were very strange. Except for crows twice when they first came to life, they never made a sound again, and Hou Tao let go of his hand.
After removing their necks, they just stood quietly on the surface, like a statue.
"Lingdang, come here," Hou Tao waved. Lingdang climbed down from the bed slowly, looked at Hou Tao with a resentful look, but still approached him. "If it weren't for daddy, I wouldn't help you."
"Dad, let me treat you well." Lingdang raised her eyebrows at me.
The corners of my mouth twitched, why do I feel that he is treating me well now just to repay the debt of biting me in the first place.
"Stop talking so much nonsense, lie down quickly." Hou Tao said, placing the two black-bone chickens on both sides of the table, and then let the bell lie on the table.
Hou Tao began to insert white candles around the body lying on the bell and lit them all. After everything was done, Hou Tao and I sat on one side of the table respectively, with a stack of paper money pressed by stones in front of us.
"The left hand is holding the bell, and the right hand is holding the chicken's ankle." Hou Tao said this, and I shouldn't slack off, so I quickly followed suit.
He turned his head and said: "Liu Shu, after the three of us enter the underworld, I'll leave the rest to you."
Liu Zhi nodded happily, it was really nice to have such an apprentice who could do everything. After saying that, Hou Tao also held the chicken's ankle and the bell's hand.
For a moment, I felt as if I had lost all strength. My eyes suddenly turned into darkness and my whole body became limp. My consciousness was also drifting and I felt out of control.
But this feeling didn't last long, a dazzling bright red light forced me to open my eyes.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the dark sky. The sky was full of black fog shadows flying around. Black clouds covered the entire sky, giving people a sense of breathless oppression.
"This is here?" I asked in surprise as I looked at the long 'dragon' lined up one by one in front of me, with no end in sight. And I was also at the tail end of this dragon, heading towards
Looking back, I saw a dark void.
That's probably where we came in, I thought, and glanced sideways inadvertently. Suddenly, I was shocked by a huge bridge not far from me.
The bridge is at least nearly 10,000 meters long. From our side, we can't see the end of the bridge at all. The entire bridge is carved from white jade, with complicated hollow patterns, and the bridge deck is smooth and tidy. Even here,
Under the dark sky, there is also a slight white light, which looks particularly majestic.
Looking at my feet again, it looks like a bridge, but this bridge is not as good as the White Jade Bridge. Not to mention it is in tatters, but it is still made of wooden boards spliced together. The only thing the two bridges have in common is that
The number of people crossing the bridge has increased.
They were all lined up shoulder to shoulder with long human-shaped dragons.
"Dad, this is the underworld." Bell tugged at the corner of my clothes.
I nodded and said, "Then the bridge under our feet is the Naihe Bridge?"
"Bullshit." Hou Tao queued up behind the bell. As soon as he heard what I said, he immediately said, "The bridge under our feet is called the Soul-eating Bridge. It is a place for the souls of the dead who have done too many evil things during their lifetime and are not allowed to fall into reincarnation again.
Walking. The white jade bridge next door is the Naihe Bridge.
Naihe Bridge is a bridge walked by human beings who have not fulfilled their long-cherished wishes during their lifetime, that is, people who have expired in the world. At the end of the bridge is Po Meng, who helps people get rid of distracting thoughts and emotions. She will give everyone who comes to the end of Naihe Bridge a gift.
Serve a bowl of Meng Po soup to help them eliminate their past life memories."
As for us, we have entered the underworld, and there is no way to eliminate the seven emotions and six desires, so we don’t have to go through the Naihe Bridge to enter the underworld city, we can enter directly." Hou Tao shook his head and said: "The king of hell and the black and white impermanence and other underworld people all live in the underworld.
People in Yincao City usually don't leave the city."
I frowned. After hearing what Hou Tao said so eloquently, it shouldn’t be wrong that this is the underworld. “But why should we go to Yincao City?”
Hou Tao rolled his eyes at me, pointed to a place in front of him and said, "Take out that little bitch and see if it points to the direction of Yincao City."
When he said this, I decisively took the gun out of my pocket and looked at the blue dot on it. Sure enough, the direction of the house where the blue dot was facing was the direction of Yincao City that Hou Tao pointed to.
