Chapter 245: The Underworld and the Netherworld?
"If you want to see him, I have a way for you to see him for the last time and talk to him.
But then he had to be sent away.
If he continues to stay here, even if I don't accept him, someone else will."
Chen Yushu glanced at the other party and spoke.
This matter is actually not his business.
It is usually the work of the underworld.
The Yin-Zhen Si is in charge of a region and deals with matters involving demons and ghosts.
The commotion here was so loud that it caused a disaster. Some people were injured and lost money. Naturally, someone would file a complaint and ask the underworld to handle it.
However, recently, the Yinsi has been very busy. Although the evil cult forces in Qinghe County have been eliminated, there is still chaos in Zhou County. Most of the people in the Yinsi of Qinghe County have been sent there, so they did not deal with the Laicai ghost in the first place.
As for Chen Yushu, he was still waiting for the great merit that Taoist Xuanwu had applied for. And since the ghost of wealth happened to be causing trouble, he certainly would not hesitate to deal with it.
But it’s always not good to remove it directly.
That's why he went into the shop and asked.
"So after I meet him, will I never see him again?"
The proprietress was a capable person. She quickly calmed down and asked.
"Even if you don't see him, you will never see him again."
Chen Yushu answered.
"Then please, sir, help me and let me see him."
Upon hearing this, the proprietress quickly spoke.
Liu Hexuan watched the whole thing and didn't say anything, but he also understood that the reason why this place was so weird was because there was a ghost.
Although he had long known that Chen Yushu was not only a warrior, but also a Yin cultivator.
But at this moment, he was still surprised by the confidence and composure with which he could see the difference of this place at a glance and easily solve the problem.
"good!"
Chen Yushu nodded.
I set up a soundproof array.
With his current strength, he doesn't even need to set up a formation. He just needs to move his feet to attract the earth's energy and naturally form a simple soundproof formation.
Immediately following.
He stretched out his hand and gestured.
He captured the ghost that brought wealth.
Then his mental power moved, pulling the mental fluctuations between Lai Caigui and the proprietress into harmony.
This is not some sophisticated magic, but after his spiritual realm is deep enough, his understanding of mental power has naturally reached a very high level.
This is the only way to achieve spiritual synchronization between the two.
Naturally, a human and a ghost can see each other and communicate with each other without the help of other tools.
Afterwards, Chen Yushu left the soundproof array, allowing the couple to communicate freely.
“Although I have long known that besides being a martial artist, you are also proficient in the art of walking in the underworld.
But I didn't expect that you seemed to know quite a lot about the Yin Dao.
Is he considered a master?"
Liu Hexuan sighed, and finally couldn't help but ask tentatively, "How does it compare to Lu Yizi?"
The only cultivator who practiced the art of concealment that he knew of was the Liu family's son-in-law, the geomancer Lu Yizi.
As early as when Chen Yushu just came into contact with the Yin-walking Dao, Lu Yizi was already a cultivator with the cultivation level of three incense sticks. Even the Seven-Star Steps magic that Chen Yushu mastered was taught by him.
Liu Hexuan also knew about his abilities. It could be said that almost all matters involving ghosts and monsters in the Liu family were handled and resolved by him. His status in the Liu family was also extremely high.
If it weren't for the third young lady, the Liu family might not have been able to invite the other party to move in.
But at this moment, he watched Chen Yushu take action, and his every move was confident and calm. It felt that even Lu Yizi was slightly inferior to him.
That's why he asked this question.
"Brother Lu's methods are naturally extraordinary, and he also gave me some pointers in the past.
I don't think it's good to compare myself with him.
Moreover, he is a geomancer, and his specialty is surveying the land and observing Feng Shui.
I am a serious ghost walker, and I am more adept at exorcising ghosts and evil spirits.
And he's also good at some magic... I guess everyone has their strengths."
Chen Yushu said with a smile.
"Understood!"
Liu Hexuan is naturally a shrewd person.
I know this is just Chen Yushu's humble statement.
If we really compare their methods, it is obvious that Chen Yushu is better.
I was a little shocked at once, but now I feel that many things are clearer to me.
No wonder the other party was dismissive of the head of the family's attempts to win him over and the many positions arranged by the Liu family. In fact, the other party really looked down on them.
A monk who has walked under the guidance of three incense sticks is a guest of honor everywhere.
Even in his Liu family, he had a status that required the head of the family to receive him personally, so how could he be interested in the position of manager of a herbal medicine shop?
Even if he is the shopkeeper, he would not pay any attention to him.
Chen Yushu just smiled and didn't say anything else.
After all, he is now at the Daoist level, while Lu Yizi has not made much progress and is still at the level of three incense sticks - this is actually a very normal thing.
Generally, cultivators who reach the level of three incense sticks often need to hone their skills for a period of time.
It may take as little as half a year or as long as three to five years for them to accumulate enough and thus have the possibility of reaching the next level.
But this is just a possibility.
Burning your body and building your soul, this level is not easy to pass.
…
As Chen Yushu was speaking, he saw the tailor shop owner walking out with red eyes.
"He had said before that he wanted to save up one hundred taels of silver and move his family to Tianling County to live there. He also wanted to send his children to school there so that they could have a better future.
That was why he took the risk and took the Tianzheng Road, just to avoid the pirates and save the ten taels of silver in toll.
Unexpectedly.
It was there that he met with an accident..."
The proprietress's eyes were red as she spoke, "He said he had already saved fifty taels of silver, and as long as he could earn another fifty taels, it would be enough.
So, he tried his best to attract money, constantly leading passers-by into the store to buy..."
“Attracting wealth, actually there is no problem.
But using magic to trick outsiders into entering the store is not allowed."
Chen Yushu shook his head and then said, "But don't worry, I will help him to be liberated and send him to the ghost cave.
Perhaps, there is still a chance to be reborn."
Chen Yushu said this and looked at the ghost of wealth.
After the other party communicated with the proprietress, the resentment in his heart was actually dissipated a lot.
At this time, it has transformed from the original evil ghost into an ordinary ghost.
Chen Yushu then recited the wonderful Dharma text to help him attain nirvana.
Speaking of which, this wonderful Dharma text for guiding people is the scripture for salvation that it obtained when it first acquired the White Tiger Visualization Method.
But he is now completely different from what he was then.
When he performed the salvation for Li Pei, he was just an ordinary person. Although he felt that this salvation scripture was somewhat mysterious, he knew the result but not the reason.
At this time, he would recite the scriptures orally, one verse at a time, in accordance with his spiritual fluctuations.
Faintly, Chen Yushu felt that he had come into contact with an unknown realm in the dark, and then he finished speaking all the scriptures.
He immediately felt that a hole had suddenly opened up in that unknown realm.
then.
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed in the gap, and after a slight flash, it enveloped the Laicai ghost.
With a gentle tug, it was pulled into that realm.
“The Underworld?
Why does the aura there seem to be something like the aura of the underworld?
Could it be that the underworld is in the Netherworld?"
Chen Yushu couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise on his face.
He is very familiar with the underworld.
Although he focused more on practicing formations during this period, he would still spend time entering the underworld once or twice every night.
Although I haven't explored the surrounding terrain much, I am indeed quite familiar with the special dark aura inside.
I always feel that the atmosphere in the underworld is not much different from that in the Netherworld.
"Perhaps, they are different areas within the same world?"
Chen Yushu muttered and made such a guess.
He declined the proprietress's thanks and the twenty taels of silver that was offered as a thank-you gift. Of course, he didn't just accept it for free.
A Taoist monk who travels the world must receive compensation for doing things for others.
It is not only for one's own practice, but also for resolving cause and effect.
Once the job is done, it doesn't matter how much money you give, as long as you don't want to have too many personal relationships with the original owner.
Therefore, Chen Yushu only took one hundred coins.
This amount of money is not much.
It is probably equivalent to the cost of the boss lady making an ordinary piece of cloth, which is nothing.
Only then did Chen Yushu and Liu Hexuan walk out of the tailor shop.
Less than half an incense stick of time.
Chen Yushu and Liu Hexuan came to the Liu family pharmacy.
The Liu family pharmacy is as busy as ever.
All kinds of people come in and out, including ordinary people who come to see the doctor, and many people who practice martial arts.
Some come to heal their wounds, while others come to prepare medicine and help improve their martial arts training efficiency.
"Old Liu!"
"Doctor Liu, you're back."
…
Liu Hexuan's status in the pharmacy is indeed high.
As soon as I stepped in, many people greeted me. There were not only the shop assistants, but also the apprentice doctors and medicine practitioners, and many patients who were familiar with me.
Liu Hexuan dealt with each of them one by one, then looked at one of the medical apprentices and asked, "Has Shopkeeper Su arrived yet?"
"arrive.
I'm in the backyard, discussing something with the Third Miss."
The man replied quickly.
"Come on, let's go over there."
Liu Hexuan nodded and quickly called Chen Yushu to go to the backyard together.
After a while, they arrived at the backyard and saw from afar that the third lady Liu Qingyan and Su Ming were discussing something. In addition to the two of them, the geomancer Lu Yizi was also there.
Neither of them hid the sound of their footsteps.
Regardless of whether it is Liu Qingyan or Su Ming, they are both people with superb martial arts skills.
As for Lu Yizi, he is a ghost walker with the cultivation level of three incense sticks, and he is not a weakling either.
Naturally, I heard the noise too.
"Chen Yushu, meet the Master!"
Chen Yushu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said.
He was very grateful to the shopkeeper Su Mingsu.
Although his main focus now is the Yin way.
But if it weren't for Su Ming, it would be difficult for him to have enough time to practice accordingly.
This is true whether it is about Yin Qigong or martial arts.
"Okay, okay, okay... you didn't embarrass me."
Su Ming also quickly stood up and said with a smile on his face.
He originally decided to let Chen Yushu take part in this genius assessment just to help Chen Yushu gain a firm foothold in the Liu family pharmacy as soon as possible and make a name for himself quickly.
Of course, the main reason is that Chen Yushu’s talent is so great.
At that time, he actually had nothing more to teach.
He can only rely on himself for subsequent training.
But he never expected that Chen Yushu would beat all the masters and geniuses in this genius assessment and win the first place.
Moreover, he won the first place by a huge margin after defeating ten people alone and defeating many geniuses.
It really made him proud.
"It's all thanks to Master's teaching."
Chen Yushu replied with a smile.
“My teachings?
The master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you.
You have achieved your current strength thanks to yourself, so I can't take credit for it."
Su Ming knew the talent of his apprentice.
Although he himself was somewhat surprised that he had such strength now, after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was normal.
It's normal for such a genius to grow to any level.
Not to mention being number one in the Body Refining Realm, even in the Inner Strength Realm… "Huh? You've made a breakthrough? Are you already in the Inner Strength Realm?"
Suddenly, his expression changed and he showed a hint of surprise.
"Some time ago, I obtained a copy of the Medicine King Heart Sutra from the Liu family's Patriarch. I tried practicing it and luckily achieved a breakthrough."
Chen Yushu said with a well-behaved look on his face.
Hearing this, Su Ming opened his mouth and was suddenly speechless.
Isn't this too fast?
Even though this apprentice was taught by himself, he was still extremely shocked by the speed of his growth.
You know, he knows it very well.
It's been less than a year since the other party came into contact with martial arts and started to truly practice it?
On the contrary, Liu Hexuan had a look on his face that said, "As expected."
He had sensed something before, but Chen Yushu didn't say anything, so he didn't ask too much.
Now, it just confirms this.
“I didn’t expect that Brother Chen has already reached the inner strength realm.
This person is considered a good fighter in the martial arts world.
I just don't know how your cultivation in the Yin Dao is going?
I remember the last time I saw you, it was only about an incense stick away."
Lu Yizi, who was standing by, was also surprised when he heard this, and then seemed to remember something and asked.
“Practicing the Yin Dao is much more difficult than practicing martial arts.
Now, I have only just begun to explore the path and am still searching."
Chen Yushu said a little shyly.
However, he was a little embarrassed to say that he had already cultivated to the level of entering the Dao realm.
After all, with his current level of cultivation, one can tell at a glance that Lu Yizi is still at the level of three incense sticks.
But compared to before, the aura is a little stronger. He should be in the late stage of Three Incense Sticks, the peak level of Three Incense Sticks, and has begun to prepare to break through and enter the next realm, which is the level of entering the Dao realm.
But if I really want to get over it, I don’t know how long it will take.
Maybe one or two years, maybe three to five years, maybe seven to eight years or ten years.
Nobody knows.
At least, considering the other party's state of mind at a small level, it would be difficult for him to successfully pass the process of burning his body and building his soul without a lot of preparation.
