Chapter 18: Nine Nether Hell



Since she can see the evil spirit of Yan Daozi, does it mean that her position in the Nine Netherworld is already deeper than Yan Daozi and his evil spirit?

"It seems that the summoning of the spirit was successful. Well done. Very courageous."

Yan Daozi concentrated on carving the bone flute in his hand and did not ask about what happened last night.

Seeing this, Sangque had no choice but to speak up.

"I seemed to see...see you last night." Sang Que stuttered deliberately and spoke unclearly.

Yan Daozi didn't even raise his head. "Oh? I was practicing in the house last night and didn't go out. I'm afraid it's not an illusion I saw when I was summoning spirits."

Mulberry Bird: …………

After Yan Daozi was silent for a while, he paused tapping the table with his fingers. It was unknown what he was thinking about, but a smile suddenly broke out on his face.

The correct content is in %六九% book'bar!

However, this follower cannot be too weak, otherwise it will die too easily, but it cannot be too strong either, otherwise it will be difficult to control.

Yan Daozi took another sip of tea. "In fact, ordinary people who encounter evil spirits may open the ghost gate and go to the Nine Netherworld. It's just that they don't have the Taoist method of visualization, so they can't see the Nine Netherworld and don't know it. This kind of people don't have the heart lamp, so after entering the Nine Netherworld, they will be particularly likely to attract evil spirits, encounter strange things, and won't live for a few days."

"You opened the Ghost Gate and descended into the Netherworld? You only went through the underworld once?! But you can see numbers on the stairs?"

Kou Yushan is the latter mentioned by Yan Daozi. He is the captain of the village guard team and is supported and respected by the villagers. He must have a heart lamp protecting his soul, so Kou Yushan always gives people a sense of reliability and security.

At this moment, Sang Que wanted to expose her superior qualifications to Ming Zhang, and her desire to become an apprentice and learn from him, so that Yan Daozi could teach her the real things as soon as possible.

Sang Que frowned and didn't want to think further, so he got back to the topic.

After Mingzhang's death, he was always worried about where to find a follower who could be trained quickly.

There is also the child from the Zhao family, Zhao Tiancong, who was possessed by an evil spirit and lost his soul. Not long after being rescued by Mingzhang, he was attacked by a water ghost again. This must be the reason.

Sang Que took a deep breath. In order to go home early and for himself and his mother, he had to give up some of his dignity.

This degree needs to be grasped well.

"When you don't want to go on, only the heart lamp can keep you sane and keep you where you are. Of course, the heart lamp will also gradually weaken due to the disgust and forgetfulness of others. This also involves another kind of heart lamp in the world, but that is an unforgivable evil magic, so let's not talk about it."

What kind of genius is this girl? Yan Daozi looked at Sang Que with a complicated look, including jealousy, envy, and a little worry.

Even if Yan Daozi bullied her for being illiterate and just threw her a book to let her study on her own, it would be better than her wasting time here.

"Level 1! When you first opened the Ghost Gate, you went straight to the Nine Nether Stairs? And you even went down one level?"

only……

Yan Daozi continued, "For ordinary people, they need to turn the positive emotions of others, such as gratitude, love, and admiration, into a heart lamp. In addition to stabilizing the steps under your feet, the heart lamp can also protect your soul in the underworld. The stronger the heart lamp, the weaker the erosion of the underworld."

Many times, many things require a pathfinder to test the dangers and the evil rules.

"The more evil things a person encounters, the faster he will go downhill. If he is not capable of dealing with evil things, I don't need to tell you what will happen."

"To put it simply, the greatest benefit of going down to the Netherworld for ordinary people is to see evil spirits and gain insight into their laws in advance. The Heart Lamp can stabilize the Netherworld ladder and protect the soul from being eroded by the Netherworld and losing its mind. However, there are countless evil spirits in the world, and some of them cannot be avoided even if they are seen in advance."

"What is...what is the heart lamp? In my dream, there was...a light in my heart..."

The first level of Jiuyou has nine steps, the second level has ninety-nine steps, and the third level has nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.

But this girl's identity is unclear... What if she is the one they want...

For example, picking up the blood-stained book from the Liu family, who knows what the hell that thing is.

"Let's not talk about the rest for now. The upper three levels of the Nine Netherworlds are also where most Taoist disciples finally stop. It is a relatively safe area. If you are on the same level as the evil spirits or at a level higher than them, you can identify them with your naked eyes, gain a better understanding of their laws, evade them, and use Taoist instruments to drive them away and temporarily imprison them."

Sang Que glanced at the picture of the traveling Taoist behind Yan Daozi, and in a trance she still saw the mountains full of skeletons and wild ghosts. She always felt that the Taoism and the Taoist monarchs in this world were different from those in modern times. There was a sense of weirdness and evil. She was afraid that joining the Taoism would also require paying a certain price.

Yan Daozi took a sip of tea, stroked his goatee, and began to speak slowly.

Sang Que understood that she was the former. It had been three days since her first time traveling through time. She had indeed encountered many evil spirits and various strange things. If she had been a little more curious and a little more reckless, she would have died long ago.

And now she had obviously reached the 108th step of the third level of Jiuyou. She needed to stop immediately and could no longer descend like jumping off a cliff.

"To put it simply, the heart lamp is the power of incense and vows, just like the ghosts and gods worshipped in the temple, they all exist because of the incense and incense of the people. The more incense, the stronger the ghosts and gods. Taoist disciples who have been ordained can borrow incense from the Taoist master to light the heart lamp, as long as their hearts are sincere."

What he didn't know was that what Sang Que saw was a three-digit number, 108, a three-digit number that only appears in the third level of Jiuyou.

Yan Daozi couldn't believe it. Ming Zhang was one of the best talents he had ever met. It took him three days to open the Ghost Gate, and then it took him about two months to find the stairs to the lower Nine Netherworlds.

"Then how...how to kill the evil spirit?" Sang Que asked again.

Sang Que knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Master, I...I want to learn...learn skills from you!"

Therefore, the importance of pathfinders is self-evident, and many people do this.

In such a dangerous world, Yan Daozi definitely needs a vanguard.

"The so-called Nine Netherworlds are the Nine Netherworlds of the Taoist sect. Different from the eighteen levels of hell in Buddhism, our Taoist sect has nine levels of hell. The evil spirits in the world are also divided into nine levels by the Nine Netherworlds. The Nine Netherworlds are also the source of the power of ghosts, gods, monsters and evil spirits in this world." "The top three levels of the Nine Netherworlds are the Netherworld, the Wind and Thunder Prison, which is nine levels deep. The second is the Netherworld, the Fire Shadow Prison, which is ninety-nine levels deep. The third is the Netherworld, the Vajra Prison, which is nine hundred and ninety-nine levels deep."

Sang Que lowered her eyes and thought. Of course she knew that the female ghost in her home almost killed her.

"Even if you can't see some evil spirits, they will show up when they kill people. The fear in people's hearts is the medium for evil spirits to kill people. You must always remember this. The more scared and panicked you are when you encounter an evil spirit, the faster you will die. Only by restraining your fear and thinking calmly can you buy more time and opportunities to break through."

"I also...I also dreamt last night about the abyss and...and the stone staircase..."

"In the Netherworld, a person's soul will be constantly corroded by it. After a long time, the person may go insane or lose control, or even die. The deeper one goes, the worse the situation becomes. I have personally seen a senior brother who lost his mind the moment he entered the fourth level of the Netherworld. He killed more than 30 people in the post station and finally set himself on fire."

Yan Daozi remained silent, tapping his fingers back and forth on the table. He had accepted Ming Zhang in Wangshan City in order to train a follower for himself.

Okay, let’s get down to business. She doesn’t want to wait any longer.

Sang Que did not stand up immediately, but still knelt on the ground, looking at Yan Daozi with longing eyes.

Sang Que has already guessed the origin of the heart lamp, but she still needs Yan Daozi's detailed explanation.

Yan Daozi was not surprised by this. After all, she had helped the He family successfully summon the souls, so the heart lamp would definitely spark some sparks.

"That's why, even if someone who has encountered evil spirits survives one or two strange incidents, they still cannot escape the fate of a violent death. Of course, there are also some people who are lucky and unconsciously possess a heart lamp, which makes it difficult for weak evil spirits to get close to them, so they can always turn danger into safety."

Sang Que thought, no wonder Yan Daozi never took the initiative to deal with strange events for the villagers. It turned out that he could borrow the incense of the Taoist master. This was the advantage of being a Taoist disciple. It was good to lean on a big tree for shade.

If that's the case, then He Shouan, who was rescued by her yesterday, is probably...

"Once a person opens the Ghost Gate and descends into the Netherworld, there is no way back and the only way is to go down. The deeper one goes into the Netherworld, the easier it is for evil spirits and strange things to come to the door. No one knows how many terrifying beings there are in the depths of the Netherworld. Most of them cannot be mentioned or described. If one knows or is seen, he will be targeted by those beings."

Yan Daozi leaned back in his chair calmly, reaching out to pour tea. "When ordinary people encounter evil spirits, they can only survive by avoiding their laws, and they have no power to fight them head-on. People who have entered the Netherworld can use the power of the Netherworld to deal with the evil spirits, but they need some medium."

This is even more true after he became a ghost walker. Every time he uses his evil power, it comes with a huge price. The more times he uses it, the shorter his life will be. Unless his life is in danger, he cannot use it casually.

He has been practicing Taoism for more than ten years, and it took him five years to truly start his descent to the Ninth Netherworld and reach the 95th step of the second level today!

Yan Daozi asked repeatedly, and Sang Que maintained his illiterate and dull character, scratching his head to recall, then stretched out a finger and turned it horizontally to represent "one".

As soon as he finished speaking, the knife in Yan Daozi's hand almost cut his finger. He looked up in surprise, squinting his eyes to examine Sang Que carefully.

Sang Que lowered his eyes. If positive emotions can form a heart lamp, then the hatred and fear of others can definitely form another negative heart lamp. It goes without saying that it will be terrible.

In this strange world, there are too many unknowns, and it is very difficult to survive for a long time. Even if he is a Taoist priest with talismans and magic tools and the protection of the Taoist God, it is difficult to guarantee a safe life.

"Very good. Your performance has greatly exceeded my expectations. Since you have opened the Ghost Gate and have descended to the first level of the Netherworld, I will first tell you the basic common sense of cultivation. Get up first."

"The 'magic tools' used in Taoism and Buddhism are one kind, and the 'incense tools' used in the evil-suppression department are another kind. But these things can only temporarily drive away, detain and disperse evil spirits, and sooner or later the evil spirits will come back. If you want to truly kill the evil spirits, you have to rely on the evil spirits to devour each other. This can only be done by the walking ghosts who control the evil spirits and the evil spirits left behind. In other words, only the power of the evil spirits can kill the evil spirits, and the same is true for ghosts and ghost gods."

"How can we control... control that evil spirit?"

Sang Que was very careful, suppressing his excitement, and finally got to the point! To put it simply, the hierarchy of this world is the hierarchy of the Nine Netherworld, from top to bottom, there are 1 to 9 levels. The more strange events a person encounters, the faster he will fall, but the faster he falls, the faster he will go crazy and die.

This requires the heart lamp (incense) to stabilize your descent speed. There will be additional explanations about the heart lamp later. It corresponds to the Nine Nether levels. The strength of the heart lamp must be increased before you can safely descend to the Nine Nether.
