Chapter 1613 Fellow Daoist, Please Wait 23
"You can't see it anymore, can you?" Ma Chengliang spoke first.
Yang Xiuying glanced back and could only see a corner of the stone tablet at the village entrance. "They definitely can't see us anymore."
Song Jinhuan moved closer to Song Yuande and asked, "Father, why is the Seven Star Formation they set up different from what you taught me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Xiuying and Ma Chengliang both looked at their master.
Song Yuande stroked his beard and explained, "The Seven Star Array was originally meant to ward off evil spirits and protect the home, but these families have set it up in the opposite direction. In addition, the elderly people in their families who should have passed away are still in the mortal world, but no ghost messengers have come to take them away. So the purpose of the Seven Star Array is to create a false impression for the ghost messengers."
"It violates the laws of nature and is an evil art."
After speaking, he looked at Song Jinhuan and instructed, "Go downstairs."
Song Jinhuan nodded, "Father, I'll go first!"
He then strode away decisively.
"Master, what should I do with my junior sister?" Ma Chengliang asked excitedly, rubbing his fists together.
Yang Xiuying stood to the side, her eyes also filled with anticipation.
Song Yuande took out a compass from his cloth bag and smiled faintly, "Come with me to see the Great Immortal Qingyun!"
Under the blazing sun, Song Jinhuan returned to his residence after working up a sweat.
The man sitting in the courtyard's eyes lit up as he stared intently at the girl's moving figure, exclaiming with delight, "You're back?"
Song Jinhuan hummed in agreement, strode past him, and said as she walked, "I have important business to attend to, don't bother me."
The man who was about to follow her suddenly stopped and watched her leave with a disappointed look.
A reluctant "Oh" fell in the courtyard, and a sudden gust of wind seemed to pity him.
The man sighed softly, but quickly rallied, thought for a moment, and then went to the kitchen.
Song Jinhuan sat cross-legged on the futon and entered a meditative state with a pinch of his fingers.
However, in a short while, his soul left his body and began to fall continuously.
After she regained her balance, she opened her eyes and found that the underworld here was completely different from what she had seen before.
On both sides of the clean and tidy street stood all sorts of ghosts, queuing in an orderly fashion to enter the Road to the Underworld.
Road to the Underworld?
"Taoist Song?"
Amidst the confusion, a familiar voice came from not far away.
Song Jinhuan looked up, quite surprised, "Brother Zhao?"
Upon seeing that it was indeed an old acquaintance, Zhao Kang quickly approached and said warmly, "You looked familiar earlier, I didn't expect it to really be you!"
Song Jinhuan was also pleased. "Brother Zhao, this area is also under your jurisdiction?"
"I was just transferred here from Meixian. The underworld has been undergoing reforms recently. Many people are getting lost during the reincarnation process because the route of the thirteen stations is too complicated, causing them to miss their reincarnation time."
"You have no idea how many complaints we received when we were on duty before!"
"So we are currently making improvements to ensure that each station is clean and tidy, and that the directional signs are clearer."
Zhao Kang put his hands on his hips and said smugly, "Isn't it much more pleasant than the previous Gates of Hell?"
"It really is! If it weren't for these ghosts, I would have thought they hadn't come down!" Song Jinhuan looked around curiously.
Zhao Kang laughed heartily, patted her on the shoulder, and sincerely invited her, "Taoist Song, after you die, you can come to the underworld to work. Our underworld really needs a guide like you for reincarnation!"
"Sure, I'll run errands for Brother Zhao whenever I have the chance."
After laughing it off, Song Jinhuan's expression turned slightly serious as he said, "Brother Zhao, it's so good to see you!"
"I've come to inform the underworld that there are several elderly people in Xifeng Village who have already reached the end of their lifespan but are still alive. I wonder if you've noticed?"
