Chicken feet delivery, what's not to like?
...No one expected that at this moment, the Soul-Suppressing Lamp placed in the center suddenly shone brightly, and the bronze human face on it seemed to come alive, emitting a hazy blue light.
The azure light spread rapidly, and in the hazy light, one could vaguely see a person dressed as a Taoist priest sitting cross-legged inside. Then, the azure light swallowed up the surrounding wandering ghosts and spirits, and the sea of blood also disappeared quickly.
The fake Meng Po looked terrified as she stared at the Soul-Suppressing Lamp, her body trembling uncontrollably. "How is this possible? Isn't this an ancient divine object? It is..." Before she could finish speaking, she was swallowed up by the blue light.
The scene calmed down, as if nothing had ever happened. The Bridge of Helplessness was still the Bridge of Helplessness, and the flowers of the other shore were still the flowers of the other shore, only Meng Po was gone.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Should we go in now?"
"Let's not go in, let's go back quickly," the newbies shook their heads like rattles. What a joke, this is practically playing with fire.
I picked up the Soul-Suppressing Lamp and examined it, but found nothing unusual. Uncle Liu from Hunan glanced at it and said, "This is truly a treasure. It's probably an ancient divine artifact. I wonder if there are even two like it left in the entire Taoist community today."
After resting for a while and having a cigarette, the question arose: should they retreat or continue? Except for Uncle Liu from Hunan, who strongly advocated continuing in, everyone else agreed to retreat.
After discussing it, the result was the same: everyone except Uncle Liu from Hunan unanimously agreed to withdraw.
There's nothing we can do. Uncle Liu from Hunan alone can't oppose so many of us. Even his disciples want to leave. What else can we say?
Just as we were about to turn back, we saw the group of Cantonese people come in. When they saw us, they said, "Hey, you guys ran pretty fast. Why didn't you go in? Were you scared? Haha."
Both sides looked unfriendly, and we just watched coldly, too lazy to even reply.
"Hmph, I don't believe you'll give up halfway. There must be something fishy going on. Hehe! You're trying to trick us? Well, you've got the wrong idea. If you want to back out, then go ahead. We're going in."
Several men gave us disdainful looks, then swaggered past us, guns on their shoulders.
Seeing them walk onto the Bridge of Helplessness, we also felt a little unwilling. "It's too much of a waste to leave like this. It will become a regret later. Now that they've gone in to lead the way, let's go in too," Uncle Liu from Hunan suggested again. He couldn't wait to go in.
After discussing it for a while, although the newbies were reluctant, Xiang Fei, the old blind man, and the black cat all changed their minds, and as for me, I was indifferent.
"Listen up, you lot. I brought you out here this time so you could get some experience. If you're scared of this little thing, how will you become an Onmyoji and carry on the Liu family's Onmyoji techniques?"
This left the newbies speechless, and they could only obediently follow us inside.
I crossed the Bridge of Helplessness without any trouble. Standing under the city wall, I looked up and saw the two large characters "Underworld" written on the wall.
"Hey, it really is the underworld. Do you think there might be the King of Hell in there?" the old blind man asked.
"This can't be the real place; it must be an ancient Taoist temple. The Yin formation should be inside. We need to find it before those people do."
As we entered the city gate, the underworld appeared before us, just like a ghost town, shrouded in a layer of mist. However, it appeared to be much larger in scale, and even more surprisingly, there was a full moon in the sky.
"This should be the legendary Taiyin of the underworld, just like the sun on earth, only opposite to the sun, and it hangs in the sky all year round, being both the sun and the moon."
Uncle Liu from Hunan repeatedly praised, "It's unbelievable! This is simply a miracle! Not only has the underworld been created, but even the Taiyin has been created. Fortunately, it's not a real Taiyin, otherwise we would already be Yin people by now."
Boss 105 appears
I was a little surprised. "Cousin, what's your purpose? If you have one, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush."
"Ahem, Zhiwa is so straightforward. Well then, I won't stand on ceremony. It's like this, our boss would like to get to know you masters and make friends. I wonder if you would do me the honor?"
"Your boss?"
"Yes, yes, my boss, hehe! I'm not bragging, but my boss is a big shot in Sichuan. He came here specifically to get to know some masters, because he is also very interested in Yin-Yang Feng Shui."
