My cousins came up too, and they all got excited when they saw the 'Path to Immortality', but no one was willing to climb it alone. Only a fool would do that; climbing it alone would just make them cannon fodder.
However, the man from Guangdong who was leading the way eventually made it to the top and disappeared into the horizon before our very eyes.
"He... he really went. Is this path to immortality real?" someone asked, but then a scream came from the sky, "No..." and then there was no more sound.
“Let’s go back and continue our search for the Shu Tomb. Perhaps when we become Yin-Yang Masters in the future, we will be able to uncover its secrets,” Xiang Fei said.
We all nodded in agreement. Even if there is a path to immortality, if one's own cultivation is too low, going there would only lead to death. In ancient times, this path to immortality was prepared for those who attained the Dao. Wasn't Zhuge Liang a great master?
The group went back, but my cousin and his friends went to plunder the palace inside the Yang Formation again. It seemed they had gotten quite a few good things, but that was none of our business. After all, tomb raiding isn't really tomb raiding if you don't steal something.
As soon as we emerged from the water cave and got up, we saw that we were surrounded by police officers, all armed and with their guns pointed directly at us.
"Get down, all of you!" the lead policeman shouted, and we had no choice but to obey. Those who were slow to react were even kicked twice.
“We now suspect you of illegal tomb raiding, so all of you are to go back to the police station.”
So, one by one, they were handcuffed and taken back to the police station for investigation. Our situation was okay, and with some connections, we would only get a fine at most. But my cousin and his gang were different. Not only did they carry guns, but they also stole a lot of things. According to the law, they should be sentenced to at least several years in prison.
To our surprise, they left without even paying a fine. We only saw several people in suits, who seemed to be of high status, come to the police station to bail them out. There also seemed to be a lawyer. Of course, the stolen cultural relics were confiscated.
When we went outside, my cousin was already waiting for me in the car. When he saw us coming, he took out some good cigarettes and handed them to us, saying, "Gentlemen, if it's convenient for you, would you like to come with me for a simple meal?"
One hundred and four Naihe Bridges?
"Hehe, this isn't the real Bridge of Helplessness, and I'm certainly not the real Meng Po. I'm just a ghost with lingering resentment." As she spoke, Meng Po's body began to change, taking on the appearance of a vengeful ghost. The pot no longer contained Meng Po's soup, but was clearly a soup made from corpses, with white bones churning inside. It was obviously soup made from dead people, and the wronged souls were struggling inside, trying to crawl out.
Just thinking about the soup I was about to drink makes me want to throw up. But after going through so much, I'm getting used to it now. The newcomers, however, weren't so lucky; they all collapsed to the side and vomited.
Uncle Liu from Hunan jumped over, saying, "So what if this is a land of evil spirits? There are still so many of us who can take you down."
"Hehe, I know you are Onmyoji, but not Onmyo Magicians, so in this Yin Yin place, you can't cause much trouble."
Hearing him say that, we were immediately horrified. He was right. This place only had Yin and no Yang. We Yin-Yang Masters were under too much restriction. Yin and Yang are both indispensable, and so are we Yin-Yang Masters.
"There is no turning back on the road to the underworld. I advise you to come over and obediently drink the Meng Po soup specially prepared for you so that you can be reincarnated in the underworld."
"Wandering ghosts on the road to the underworld, come and taste this fresh blood!" As his voice fell, countless ghosts crawled out from the River of Oblivion and the Sea of Blood, surrounding us like evil spirits, letting out fierce howls and completely blocking our way.
The scene terrified not only the newbies but also us. It truly resembled the underworld, and some of them were already crying from fright. "We didn't want to come in then, and now we're going to be eaten by ghosts," one of them said.
"Set up the Yin-Yang formation. Liu Zhihua, you and Xiang Fei will take the lead in the Yang aspect, and we, the old blind man, will take the lead in the Yin aspect. You guys will protect us and use the magic artifacts to temporarily hold them off. Third brother, you need to quickly deduce the celestial phenomena. We can't worry about that now. If all else fails, you can sacrifice a few years of your life to draw upon the power of heaven to deal with them."
We quickly set up the Yin-Yang formation. There is no Yang energy here, so we can only rely on our Yin-Yang techniques to draw in Yang energy from the outside world. Uncle Liu from Hunan and the old blind man are in charge of Yin, responsible for turning Yin into Yang to balance the Yin and Yang energies. Only in this way can the Yin-Yang formation play a crucial role.
I lit the Soul-Suppressing Lamp and placed it in the center of the Yin-Yang Magic Array, while Uncle Liu from Hunan held the Yin-Yang Plate in his hand.
If you looked from the outside at this moment, you would see a blurry yin-yang fish forming in the yin-yang formation. Xiang Fei and I were on the yang side, while Uncle Liu from Hunan and the old blind man were on the yin side.
Everyone else sat inside, protecting us.
The wandering ghosts surrounded us, howling at us, but they were all forced back by the Yin-Yang magic array. As talismans were thrown out, the wandering ghosts screamed and were vanished into thin air.
The fake Meng Po shouted loudly, and the sea of blood surged with towering waves, threatening to engulf us. Instantly, the wandering ghosts became even more ferocious. Inside the Yin-Yang formation, Xiang Fei and I were covered in sweat. The Yin energy was getting heavier and heavier, and the Yin and Yang were out of balance. We could see the Yang energy in the Yin-Yang fish dimming.
If this continues, we can only hold out for ten minutes at most.
"Third brother, have you deduced the laws of heaven?" Uncle Liu from Hunan practically roared.
"Uncle, this place is completely unsuitable. It's impossible to communicate with the Heavenly Laws and the Great Dao, and we can't even deduce the celestial phenomena."
"Looks like we've really gone all out," Xiang Fei said.
