The old man said, "I’ve said a lot. Everyone in Mingmen Village is surnamed Li. You can call me Uncle Li. You can also introduce yourself to the old man so that I can remember the names of the little benefactors."
I said, "Uncle Li, it’s a little strange for you to say that. Besides, I ate your old meal without doing anything …"
Li Laotou stroked his white beard and said with a smile, "You’re just a stranger when you say that. Tell me what your name is. I’ll tell you what happened. It’s not too early for you to rest."
"My name is Zheng Shuang." I said my name and then pointed to Lu Dachuan, Lu Keqin, Liu Changzu and others one by one and reported their names to the old man.
I said that the old man looked at each of us one by one and repeated our names before saying, "I have just told you that all the villagers in our ghost gate village are ghosts. Although we can also do some other spells, the most powerful and important thing is to help the ghost pawn pull out the soul that is about to die for so many years …"
I can’t help but be curious to interrupt the old man’s words, "Uncle Li, why don’t you pull your soul and let the living go through the shadows to help?"
Li Laotou said, "Most of them pull their souls by themselves, but there are two situations that need our help. One is that when people die, their souls are still greedy for the afterlife and forced to stay; The other is that when it’s time for the soul to go, there are civil servants or military commanders around who are afraid that these people will not dare to pull the soul forward. "
"Don’t you go when you’re in the shade? What ghosts can’t pull out those souls who are forced to stay, but what else can you have? They are afraid of those officials who dare not go before, but you are not afraid."
"Because ghosts are dead people’s ghosts, these ghosts are negative, and we are souls in vitro, but there is no death. The soul is not afraid of those people with yang."
"Oh, I don’t know. Go on."
Li laotou hasn’t spoken yet
Lu Dachuan asked, "Then can you go to the underworld after the Yin?"
Li Laotou said with a smile, "Going through the Yin means doing things for the Yin, and of course you can go to the underworld."
Lu Dachuan asked again, "What’s the hell like? Is there a Naiqiao, Meng Po Tang and ten levels of hell, as people say?"
Li Laotou shook his head and shook his head. "There are laws and regulations in the human world, and the same is true in the underworld. These can’t be said indiscriminately and you can’t live."
Liu Dachuan didn’t say anything. Li Laotou looked at us and didn’t talk.
I said, "Go on, uncle."
Li Laotou looked at me and said, "Where did I just say? I forgot when you dolls disturbed me."
I smiled apologetically. "You just repeated what you told us before and left nothing to say."
"Oh, it’s really old. This brain is not enough," said Li Laotou. "We’ve been doing this job for generations. After all these years, I’ve lived for such a long time. Don’t even know that I’ve had an accident. Even I’ve never heard of it. But just over a month ago, we had two young dolls who died in the dark, and they didn’t come back because it’s gone with the times. As you know, tens of millions of people will die in a battle, and which battlefield can’t be taken seriously?" I didn’t take it too seriously, but half a month passed in an instant. Not only did the souls of the two young dolls not come back, but also the souls of the villagers didn’t come back every day. We felt that there was something wrong with this matter. As soon as we were in a hurry, we sent a wave of people to look for me. After all these years, the police officers in the underworld were still good, so we asked them to ask around. As a result, not only one thing was found, but even the souls didn’t come back. By this time, things were out of control. On the one hand, we tried every means to find out, and finally found out that a few ghost ninjas took away their souls. Heaven and the underworld could not interfere in human affairs, and the sects such as Maoshan and Zhenzhen were weakened. We couldn’t find any helpers to go to those ninjas alone to get back their souls, but they were all masters of the apocalypse, and one of them had even reached the peak of the purple spirit. We treated some ghosts and ghosts with little skill, but the roots were not the souls of these ninja opponents in fairyland.
Li Laotou was sad again, and tears fell in his eyes, while the old lady kept wiping her eyes with an apron after a long time.
After listening to Li Laotou tell me what happened, I probably have a number in my heart, but I told him that I didn’t understand anything about the fate of crossing the sky and the peak of purple gas, so I asked, "Uncle, please tell me in detail what monasticism is all about."
Li Laotou wiped a handful of tears and said, "It’s a long story. Each sect has its own practice methods, but generally speaking, monasticism can be divided into eleven stages, such as splitting light, spiritual deficiency, piercing the valley, moving heart, meta-transformation, yuan ying, clutch, ghost, extinction, Dacheng and Du Jie. Each stage is divided into three stages: the first, the middle and the last. This stage is called building a foundation to practice oneself, just like laying a foundation to make up when building a house. Pit-breaking and heartbeat are the second stage. This stage is called refining refined qi, which is usually called’ Dan Dao Xiao Zhou Tian’ … "
Although Li Laotou’s face was full of sadness and sorrow at this time, he said it very seriously, but I didn’t understand a word and interrupted him. "Uncle, I don’t want to ask these questions, but I want to ask what you said about crossing the sky and being a master of purple gas."
"To put it simply, crossing the Armageddon means that monks practice to a certain extent and get struck by lightning, but they don’t die, that is, the master of purple gas is divided into three stages: lavender, purple gas and purple gas peak, and then they practice Du Jie, and then they will be immortals. If they don’t practice in heaven, they will be immortals."
I said before that we are not monks and don’t know anything, and Li Laotou can see what he said. I didn’t understand it, but it was easy to understand. But I still listened to it in a fog and thought about it in detail. First, I never thought about being a fairy. Second, we have already fought with ninjas and know that although they have a high level of cultivation, they can also use hegemonic spells, but we should have no problem with dun armour and Mo Yu and Hong Yun to help them, otherwise Bodhisattva would not let us help Ghost Road.
Thinking of this, I completely threw these things out of my mouth and asked, "Uncle, you said that those souls in your village who didn’t come back after being overcast were caught by little ninjas. Do you know where they put these souls and what they want to catch them?"
Li Laotou shook his head and said "I don’t know"
"I don’t know where the lost souls are, and I don’t know where they caught them. It’s really hard to do." I looked at Liu Dachuan. "Do you have any ideas?"
Lu Dachuan’s face is reluctant. "I don’t know where the souls are. We can find out where Xiao Li caught these souls. We can find out that these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that we can kill us instead of ghosts."
Li Laotou said, "Although I don’t know where the imps have taken the souls of our mysterious people, it’s not too difficult to find them, and I’m not too worried about whether you can kill ghosts, because you have to be precise about which ghosts deserve to die. You have your own providence. I’m worried about whether you are the opponents who practice advanced ninja."
"Uncle, it’s easy for you to find the lost soul," I said. "To be honest, I’m not 100% sure whether we are ninja opponents, but you think a bodhisattva wants us to help you solve your troubles, not let us die. I think we should have no problem dealing with them."
"That’s true, then my old man won’t worry." After talking for a long time, Li Laotou’s face finally smiled again. "It’s almost dawn for you dolls. We’ll arrange accommodation for you to sleep."
Li Laotou said, putting on shoes on the kang, comforting the old lady and saying, "Baby, his mother’s heart has relaxed a little. Although our generation has not experienced too much wind and waves, it is also such an age that we can’t understand this world."
We followed suit, only to find that I don’t know when the old lady’s crooked kang stopped moving.
"Auntie, Auntie, what’s the matter with you?" Lu Keqin and Lin Xianer sat beside the old lady just now, probably because they didn’t care much about listening to us. At this moment, they found that the old lady was motionless and they were all eager to reach out to shake her.
Li Laotou quickly spoke to stop "Don’t move her …"
Chapter one hundred and ninety-four The old lady has passed through the Yin
At first glance, when we saw the old lady leaning against the kang, we thought that she was too sad to pass out. When I saw Li Laotou, I realized that the old lady must have been overcast. Although Li Laotou had said so much before, after all, we had never seen what it was like to be overcast. I didn’t expect the old lady to be overcast when we were sitting while talking. We all looked at the motionless old lady in amazement.
Li Laotou took a closer look at an old lady and looked up and said to us, "It’s okay. You little dolls are not nervous to prepare for this house. You can’t sleep now. Take your things and take you to another room."
A few of us got up to take our luggage when we heard the words of old Li. I asked, "Is this the yin, uncle and aunt?"
Li Laotou nodded naively and said, "We are busy when the sky is not peaceful, and now nearly half of our masters have an accident, which is even more busy."
Li Laotou’s words made me turn to see Liu Dachuan and they motioned for them to run away.
When we walked past the dining table and the kang block, Li Laotou looked at us carefully and said, "Be careful not to kick your aunt’s shoes."
I bowed my head and saw that the old lady’s shoes were lying on the edge of the kang. I was curious and asked, "What kind of shoes are lying on the side of the kang?"
Li Laotou replied, "How the shoes are placed determines the life and death state of the people who have passed through the Yin. When we pass through the Yin, the shoes must be turned over. If the shoes are placed in the right direction, the people will wake up. If the shoes are turned over, we will not be able to come back, and people will really die."
"Oh …" My mouth should be pulled up by Lu Keqin and we will run away together.
A line of people went out of the door and leaned against the wall against the paper man. The lantern in his hand lit up and the paper man immediately floated to the front of Li Laotou to illuminate him.
When I first met this paper man lantern, I was curious, especially that it could blow out the lantern by itself, but I was embarrassed to ask that I was familiar with Li Laotou at this time, so I asked, "Uncle Li, how is this paper man like a living thing? Are you controlling it by magic?"
Li Laotou said, "It’s a spell, but you can also see that this is the paper man who burned the living to the dead, but he can also regard it as his own life. The living is just the living in the underworld."
"That … isn’t this Yang? How did it?" After listening to the old man’s words, I broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of their strange village name.
Li Laotou said, "I told you that what we do in the dark every day is to pull people’s souls and let them die. Naturally, people’s relatives will not pay us for their work, but we have to live. We will use magic to make these yin people have life. Although it is necessary to make them move and work, it can also be said that the yin is a special favor to the dark road."
"It’s amazing." I sighed in my heart and stopped talking.
Li Laotou’s courtyard is not a standard quadrangle, but there are houses on all sides of the courtyard. He took us to the east wing and reached the door. He said by the side door, "There are two spacious rooms here, but there are kang beds inside and outside, and the bedding is new. You will live with it."
I didn’t realize that the old lady was overcast when I hit the door and let us in, but I didn’t mean to come in myself. I was worried that her soul wouldn’t come back. I asked, "How long will it take for the uncle and aunt to come back after the overcast? Will it be dangerous?"
Li Laotou said, "I think I’ll be back before dawn. There should be no accident in the middle of the night."
Li laotou said it was all right, but it could be seen from his face that his heart was not 100% confident, so we comforted him a few words, and then he turned and walked back to the north room to our door
It’s already more than four o’clock in the morning. We didn’t get a good sleep last night. It’s the middle of the night again. Everyone is exhausted. Lu Keqin and them went into the room. We three men rested separately outside. I woke up and opened my eyes to see the sun shining on the window. We lived in the sun window of the East Room. It must be noon. We quickly rolled over and got up to shake Liu Dachuan and Liu Changzu up.
Lu Dachuan, they didn’t sleep the night before yesterday, and went to bed early for a little while last night. At this time, they were still lying in bed with their eyes open, but they were in a daze and didn’t want to move. I said, "Get up and watch the time."
Liu Dachuan touched his watch from the pillow and saw "It’s two o’clock in the afternoon" and then hurried to climb.
"You get up and tidy up a room, and I’ll go out first." I put on my shoes on my kang and heard a noise in the back room, knowing that Lu Keqin and others got up, lost a word and went out.
Yesterday, the northwest wind roared all day, and the sky was as cloudy as anything. I didn’t expect the sun to be beautiful today. The eyes at the door adapted to the outside light. I saw more than a dozen people in the sun in front of the North House, men, women and children. They came to sit on the bench and see me on the steps. Get up together and look at me.
I don’t want to know that these people are all villagers in Mingmen Village, that is, Mingmen people. There is such a big event waiting for our help, but we slept in the sun and looked at our ass, which made me feel hot.
Fortunately, although these people live in the depths of the mountains and wear ordinary peasant clothes, they are not the kind of people who have never seen the world. Knowing that so many people are motionless, it is impolite to stare at a person who meets for the first time, and it will make people feel uncomfortable to salute me with their fists, and then they look slightly down.
Li Laotou made it clear that they knew magic and passed the Yin, but it was not the Sanqingmen Taoist who treated them like vagrants. I was not surprised at all, and I learned to salute them with their fists and then stepped forward.
At this time, Li Laotou lifted the curtain and came out of the North Room. He saw me and said, "Are all the babies in Zheng Shuang up?"
"Get up" I looked back at Liu Dachuan and Liu Changzu, who came out of the room before and after, and turned around and said, "Is the uncle and aunt back?"
"I came back early in the morning," Li Laotou said to me, and then said to the dozen people in the sun in front of the steps, "Don’t stand here and shame people. I’ll call you when you need help when you go home."
When Li Laotou spoke, those people listened respectfully. When the old man finished speaking, a Chinese said, "Grandpa, let’s go back first."
