Bloody, desolate.
The ground was littered with the corpses of flying birds and piles of bones; it was already a dead place.
"Fuck, what the hell is this place!" Lin Jinpeng, who was lying on the back of Lin Ping's paper puppet, exclaimed, his eyes full of shock.
Not to mention him, Jin Banwei and the others were also dumbfounded.
After finally following the marks to climb out of the maze-like mountains, we could no longer find any trace of the way into the mountains. Birds and beasts were scattered everywhere, and the bones of some animals filled the road leading to the mountains.
There was a bright sun hanging in the sky, but its light was no longer golden and warm, but blood-red and desolate.
The red sunlight made her skin moist. Jin Banwei clenched Ren Qiao's hand in her palm and said, "Are we in the underworld?"
Pieces of feathers were blown by the cold wind and gently brushed against the tip of her nose. There was a strange smell. Jin Banwei felt her eyelids trembling a little, and she actually felt a little sleepy.
Min Ziyu is a doctor after all, so she can better detect those subtle noises. She half-knelt beside a green bird and touched its still soft and warm body. She said, "Most of them are not dead, they are just asleep."
When she talked about being sleepy, she even yawned.
Lin Jinpeng, who was lying on the back of the paper puppet, also yawned: "Master, I'm sleepy."
"Lin Jinpeng, don't fall asleep at this time!"
Lin Qing's angry voice just sounded, and Lin Jinpeng on the other side really closed his eyes. His eyelids trembled, and only half of the sentence came out: "I don't want to sleep, but I'm so sleepy, really..."
Then came the snoring sound, and Lin Qing was really angry.
He strode forward and slapped Lin Jinpeng on the back of his head, but Lin Jinpeng was not awakened by him. On the contrary, he yawned. Lin Qing raised his hand and touched his eyelids, saying in disbelief: "This is not right."
As soon as Lin Qing finished speaking, Guan Jiyue's voice rang out: "Senior Lin, this is indeed not Lin Jinpeng's problem."
Jin Banwei and the others looked in the direction of Guan Jiyue's voice. She didn't know when she had caught Bai Yue and her daughter, but they had already fallen asleep.
There is a problem here!
Jin Banwei nervously pulled at the yellow kite spirit that was being led by a rope on her other hand: "Yellow kite spirit, do you know what's going on?"
The Yellow Kite Fairy looked at the blood-red sun in the sky, licking the corners of his mouth greedily, his eyes full of envy: "They should have taken action, it's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to participate. It should be very interesting to occupy the underworld."
They have actually taken action!
They didn't waste a long time in the mountains. It was just that she and Ren Qiao were trapped in the death array and didn't feel that a long time had passed. However, Guan Jiyue and the others waited outside for six days, almost a week, which gave those people enough opportunities to act.
Guan Jiyue's face didn't look good. She took out her cell phone and said, "The signal has been cut off. We should still be in the formation."
This strange phenomenon in the sky turned out to be a formation.
Jin Banwei became nervous, wondering what kind of powerful force would be needed to change the color of the sky and the earth.
She was nervous, and Min Ziyu was even more nervous. She suddenly withdrew her hand that was touching the blue bird, and her face became very ugly: "It, it's dead."
Almost at the moment when Min Ziyu finished speaking, the green feathers of the bird suddenly caught fire, and the dark blue flames quickly engulfed its entire body. However, the flames did not burn her bones, but instead burned those bones white and moist.
Guan Jiyue yawned, and the bone spirit lamp on her waist lit up: "This formation seems to be able to induce sleep."
Lin Qing pointed at the bones and scratched his beard as he said, "More than that! If I'm not mistaken, this formation has just absorbed the power of her body and soul."
Jin Banwei's eyelids were trembling. She touched Ren Qiao's cold hand and her mind barely cleared up.
Following the coolness, she looked towards Ren Qiao.
Ren Qiao still looked normal, her eyes were also looking at this strange sight, but she was not sleepy like them, her eyes were still alert, while they, several grown people, were already yawning.
I'm very sleepy.
Jin Banwei felt that if there was a bed here, she could fall asleep right away, but now was not the time to sleep.
She also glanced at the Yellow Kite Spirit. The Yellow Kite Spirit was still looking at the blood-red sun with a longing expression, and there was no sleepiness in its eyes either.
It seems that only living things are affected.
Jin Banwei was so sleepy that she couldn't hold Ren Qiao's hand tightly anymore. She shook her head and moved closer to Ren Qiao: "Sister, can you lend me a little more Yin Qi?"
"Okay." Ren Qiao agreed quickly. She also noticed something unusual about Jin Banwei.
It felt like I was going to faint at any moment.
Ren Qiao deliberately moved forward a little, using his own body to support Jin Banwei's body, and his hand naturally caught the rope that rolled down from Jin Banwei's palm: "Little Jin, don't sleep."
Of course she couldn't sleep.
How can we sleep when we are facing a powerful enemy?
Hearing Ren Qiao agree to her, Jin Banwei leaned against Ren Qiao, quickly took out two pieces of spiritual paper, bit her fingertips, put one on Ren Qiao's back, and put the other on her own heart.
After she transformed part of her body into a ghost again, she was no longer sleepy.
She quickly shared the information she had obtained: "Sister Ji Yue, this formation only affects living people!"
When Jin Banwei looked over, Guan Jiyue and the others watched her operation and reacted, and took out talisman papers.
They were also very sleepy. Guan Jiyue squinted her eyes and looked at Ren Qiao, then decisively stuck the talisman paper on the yellow kite spirit. Lin Ping staggered to catch up with Guan Jiyue, but Min Ziyu did not use the talisman paper. She was a ghost doctor, and she just took out a pill and swallowed it, and her body turned into a ghost.
Jin Banwei narrowed her eyes and walked to Min Ziyu in two or three steps. She stretched out her hand to Min Ziyu: "Master Min, I want one too."
This was the first time Jin Banwei asked her for something. Min Ziyuren was a little dazed. The chaotic consciousness that she had dispelled reappeared. She placed the white porcelain bottle in Jin Banwei's palm in a daze, but soon two more pairs of hands reached out to her.
The owners of those two hands were Lin Qing and Guan Jiyue.
The two of them almost drove Min Ziyou into autism in the deep mountains. It would be embarrassing to ask Min Ziyou for things at this moment, but the talisman paper could be easily uncovered, and it would be difficult to deal with the ghost if he didn't cooperate.
It is obvious that Min Ziyu's method is more effective.
Min Ziyu was slow to respond, Lin Ping frowned: "Min Ziyu, you can't be so stingy, right? We are allies, if you don't help us, are you going to help them besiege the Hades?"
"No!" Min Ziyu immediately retorted after hearing Lin Qing's remarks: "I just didn't realize what you wanted."
She took out two more white porcelain bottles and placed them in the palms of Guan Jiyue and Lin Qing respectively. She whispered, "This is a ghost pill. It was originally used by ghosts to replenish their Yin energy. After a living creature eats it, its body will temporarily become a ghost. But you can only eat one. If you eat too much, your blood will slowly coagulate, and most of your methods will be useless."
Even when Min Ziyu can't remember her mother's identity, she is still very gentle and considerate.
Guan Jiyue and Lin Qing rarely wanted to retort her words, but Jin Banwei heard something else. She patted her arms and said, "I understand."
Lin Qing tore up the talisman paper, ate a ghost pill, and asked her, "What do you understand?"
Jin Banwei pointed to the blood-red sun hanging high in the sky and said, "Only dead things can pass through this formation."
Lin Qing rolled his eyes to the sky, and his gray beard was torn into two parts by him: "This is not obvious."
Jin Banwei withdrew her hand: "I mean the reason for this formation is probably because they may not be fully prepared, so they have this formation to prevent the Yin-Yang magicians from helping the Hades, which means we still have hope."
Lin Qing was not surprised at Jin Banwei's remarks: "This is also obvious. After all, Yin-Yang magicians are best at dealing with dead things. It's really unlucky that I can still catch up with the change of the underworld at my age. I quite like those Yin-Yang messengers I have dealt with. I hope they don't all die."
To be honest, Jin Banwei was also very worried about Leng Xiangying, but she couldn't contact Leng Xiangying at all now.
Gradually, Jin Banwei connected more terrifying conjectures in her mind, and these conjectures made the story more reasonable.
There is something wrong with the speed of time flow in the death array.
Perhaps when they first trapped Yu Li, they had considered that Yu Li might wake up. Although they did not expect Yu Li to escape, they still took precautions and tampered with the time.
They didn't know that if the soul was missing, the memory would also disappear, so the way to defend themselves was to tamper with time, making it impossible for Yu Li to know how much time had passed outside, nor to guess how many years she had been dead. In this way, even if Yu Li found Yin Guan and the people who once knew her, the time between them would not match.
Therefore, those sea lettuces did not feel any sadness at all for waiting for a hundred years, because in the time flow rate of the Death Return Array, they did not sleep for very long.
The reason why they planned all this was because they were afraid of Yu Li's power, and they were also afraid that things would be exposed in advance. If they were exposed in advance, they would not be able to take care of many things, such as Liu Wubai not being able to completely transform into a dragon, and Zhuo Ning not being able to train a perfect successor...
There should be such a plot in the original book, but from the perspective of the heroine Guan Jiyue, she has not experienced all of this, because when Shen Yuanqing and others took action, Guan Jiyue happened to be trapped in the mountains.
Most of the living creatures outside fell into a deep sleep.
These birds are the best proof. They must have been suddenly affected by the formation while flying and fell into a deep sleep, so they fell from the sky. The birds that fell to death had their power absorbed by the formation and became part of it, turning into bones.
Those who are lucky enough not to die from the fall will fall into a deep sleep, completely unaware of what is happening.
The little blue bird must have had its internal organs broken when it fell, but it did not die immediately and only died just now, which allowed them to see the bird turning into bones.
In the original book, Liu Wubai brought out tens of thousands of demon pills that were raised around the Shenyuan Lake. They had sufficient reserves of demon pills, so they would not suddenly attack Yang Street. The sleeping demons in Yang Street were also unaware of this.
From their perspective, they were just taking a nap, even if it seemed too long.
It is very likely that during the month when Guan Jiyue was trapped in the mountains in the original book, the underworld was really replaced, including the King of Hell, Yan Tao.
Jin Banwei finally figured out why Min Ziyu died in that way even though he had Yan Tao protecting him. It turned out that it was because Yan Tao was also dead. No... no, maybe she was not dead, but imprisoned. Yan Tao's soul was holding the entire underworld. Once her soul flew away, the underworld might disappear, and the formations in the ghost market would collapse.
But how could Yan Tao lose! Yan Tao was the strongest being she had ever met. Even Ren Qiao in his prime might not be her opponent. Of course, her three souls were gone. If Ren Qiao had all his souls, he might be able to defeat her in this state.
But Yan Tao herself said that even if her three souls merged into the underworld, He Ti could only tie with her.
Can those people, relying on the power gained by devouring Yu Li, defeat Yan Tao who has no three souls?
Could it be that... No, it seems reasonable for Yan Tao to lose.
Jin Banwei had an epiphany in an instant.
Yan Tao has too many things to shoulder. Once they start to wantonly destroy the underworld and those formations, Yan Tao will prioritize using all her strength to suppress the evil spirits in the underworld for the sake of the stability of the world and the order of reincarnation.
Her loss proves that she is a good Pluto.
The ghost generals in the underworld and the seven emperors should be the same. They cannot easily take back their three souls, so they can't use their full strength when they take action.
In the original book, Ren Qiao did not meet her, and she did not take Ren Qiao to meet so many people who protected her. He should have been captured again, and Ren Qingxu's true identity was not revealed. It is very likely that he also used the power of the Sanqing Taoist sect.
With full preparation, he defeated a group of timid Yin officials.
It makes sense, but it's an unfair victory.
In other words, in the original book, Guan Jiyue changed her mind after being trapped for a month and was willing to cooperate with the underworld again. But at that time, the people in charge of the underworld quietly became her enemies, but she was still foolishly working for her enemies.
This is really not good news.
What kind of novel with a heroine as the protagonist is this? The heroine is trapped for a month, and when she comes out, the world has changed!
Jin Banwei, who had a very good temper, couldn't help but complain a few words in her heart.
"We have to break the formation. No, we have to help Yan Tao!" After Jin Banwei figured everything out, she quickly determined her side.
Jin Banwei is not a person with a strong sense of justice, but she can distinguish between good and evil and the overall situation. That group of beasts is in charge of the underworld, which is probably no different from the end of the world.
Although Yan Tao is ruthless, she is fair.
It is definitely better to cooperate with Yan Tao than with your enemies.
She didn't have big ambitions, but she was already in this situation, and she would never watch her enemies climb to the position they wanted.
But Jin Banwei opened her mouth, but no one responded.
Jin Banwei didn't quite understand what was wrong with them. They hesitated at this critical moment of life and death. Jin Banwei always trusted Guan Jiyue's mind. She called Guan Jiyue: "Sister Jiyue."
Guan Jiyue gently raised her hand and pressed her painful head: "I understand what you mean, but we obviously can't go to the underworld. We are living people. Living people can only enter the underworld with their souls. But once the soul leaves the body, most of our methods are useless, especially you paper-making masters. Without blood, you are basically half useless. You may not be able to help at that time, and you may even be a hindrance. We should not rush to help Yan Tao and the others now, but think about what we can do for them."
As soon as Guan Jiyue finished speaking, Lin Qing pointed at the sun in the sky and said, "Break the formation."
He answered so quickly that Jin Banwei and Guan Jiyue didn't have time to think.
Lin Qing would not keep the secret, and he quickly explained the reason: "This formation is obviously absorbing power. The absorbed power should be provided to the dead things under their control. Once the formation is broken, those dead things will lose their power supply, but the Yin officials of the underworld have the support of the Yin official order."
She understood.
Lin Qing meant that the purpose of the existence of this formation was to support them in their protracted war with the underworld. If they lost this support, and the Yin officials' Yin official orders had not yet been completely depleted, the greatest possibility for them would be that they would be annihilated by the Yin officials.
It should have taken them less than a month to occupy the underworld, but they only stayed in the mountains for six days.
There's still time.
It should be in time.
Jin Banwei's heart became anxious. She bit her tongue and asked, "So our question now becomes, where is the center of the formation?"
Guan Jiyue did not agree with Jin Banwei's conjecture. She said almost confidently: "There should be no center of the formation, but it should be similar to the four Huangquan evil formations. Each place has a different guard, otherwise it would be impossible to use such a powerful force."
Min Ziyu suddenly asked seriously, "Is it possible that it is the Four Yellow Springs Evil Situation, but it is more advanced and larger?"
They all understand formations better than Jin Banwei, and their methods are more determined.
After Min Ziyu asked the question, they all looked at Huang Yuanjing. Huang Yuanjing shrugged and said, "I have told you everything I know. As for what methods Shen Yuanqing and the others can use, that is not something I can consider. You should know that Ren Qingxu and Shen Yuanqing, two masters of formations, have always looked down on us monsters."
fact.
When Ren Qingxu was in Kongming Mountain, his attitude towards Liu Wubai was extremely bad.
They didn't expect to get any useful information from the Yellow Kite Spirit. After all, Guan Jiyue and Min Ziyu were good at fortune-telling. Almost at the same time, Min Ziyu and Guan Jiyue took out the tortoise shell and the Bagua plate.
It was obvious that Guan Jiyue was also anxious. She calculated very quickly, but found nothing.
She was a little annoyed: "The situation is too big, I can't see through it."
Guan Jiyue collected the tortoise shell and waited for Min Ziyu's divination. Although her divination was also top-notch, her even greater strength was her talent in talisman paper. The divination of Min Ziyu, who had been studying it for a hundred years, might be better.
"The Three Pure Ones have their own way, and the universe is righteous!" Min Ziyu's hands were shaking as he held the copper coin, and beads of sweat gathered on his forehead.
The omen was not optimistic. She bit her fingertip, leaving a blood mark in the center of the coin. The color of the coin changed, and more and more beads of sweat gathered on her forehead. The coin fell from her palm. Min Ziyu even stopped breathing for a moment, and blood overflowed from her lips.
Ren Qiao quickly squatted down: "Mom."
"Master Min." Jin Banwei was also a little worried. Min Ziyu was attacked by the hexagram and died directly.
Fortunately, she didn't.
Her breathing slowly returned to normal. She covered her heart and shook her head at Ren Qiao, indicating that she was fine.
But soon she spat out a mouthful of blood onto the Bagua plate.
Ren Qiao became even more anxious: "Don't force yourself."
Min Ziyu didn't say anything. She silently touched the copper coin covered with her blood. A fine golden light flashed in her eyes. She raised her head and suddenly asked Guan Jiyue: "Guan Jiyue, can you find where your lamp is?"
She figured it out.
Guan Jiyue quickly took out a piece of talisman paper. There was no way to conceal the aura of the bone spirit lamp. The talisman paper turned into three rays of light and flew in different directions. Min Ziyu gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough."
Jin Banwei looked at the direction where the spiritual light dissipated and asked Min Ziyu: "What is it?"
Min Ziyu lowered her head, covered her lips and coughed twice. Blood flowed from her lips and fell into her palm. She exhaled slowly but laboriously: "Yes, it is another four-Yellow Springs evil formation. They should have just been doing small experiments in Kongming Mountain before. The support of this large-scale formation should be Guan Jiyue's bone spirit lamp, and they need the demon pill to give the bone spirit lamp a stronger power."
Min Ziyu also tried very hard, and barely figured out the eight words "Four Huangquans, the Strongest Demon Lantern".
These four words were originally ambiguous, but everyone in the Yin and Yang world knew that one of the twelve bone spirit lamps in Guan Jiyue's hand was transformed by Jun Chan, who had a half-dragon body.
Speaking of monsters, there is probably no one stronger than Jun Chan.
Min Ziyu had just said her guess when she caught a glimpse of Ren Qiao who was guarding her. Her eyes dimmed a little: "It may not be the case. I... I have never been accurate in calculating anything related to Yu Li."
This became a knot in her heart.
Guan Jiyue narrowed her eyes. She took out pieces of talisman paper again and tried again and again. The spiritual light transformed by the talisman paper flew in three directions: "I believe you, it should be my lamp. Among the three lost lamps, there is the one transformed by Jun Chan. They do have enough power to support such a formation. However, if it is the four Huangquan evil spirits, they should be missing a corner."
This explains why they were so eager to turn off Ji Yue’s lamp.
They are short of lamps now, but they have no shortage of lamps in the book. After all, in the ghost town incident, Guan Jiyue’s lamps in the original book were almost all snatched away.
Ren Qiao took out a tissue and wiped the blood from the corner of Min Ziyu's mouth: "I believe it too."
Ren Qiao was never a person with a strong temper, but when she acted like this, Min Ziyu felt even more guilty. She took the tissue and pinched the corner of it slightly: "Thank you."
After being too controlling of Ren Qiao, she became too polite.
Min Ziyu stood up again. She finally looked like a practical person. She took a breath and said, "Since there are four of them, then it's not hard to guess. After all, their identities are all in front of us. This kind of situation has been set up for at least decades, or even hundreds of years. If they want the people in the underworld not to notice it at all, it can only be set up in a place they completely control."
Guan Jiyue: "Yungu Village, the Shen Family, and the Sanqing Dao Sect of Kongming Mountain."
Jin Banwei: "Kongming Mountain has been cleansed by us. The most likely possibility is the Sanqing Dao Sect."
Guan Jiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and she carefully went over the place where the spiritual light disappeared in her mind. She had been to too many places over the years, and she knew the locations of the Shen family and Yungu Village very clearly. She almost drew a map in her mind.
Drawing in her mind was not enough. She found a wooden stick and drew the location of Yungu Village on the ground.
Sure enough, these were the three directions where the spiritual light disappeared.
Although I think Jin Banwei's analysis makes sense, it's impossible for the four Huangquan Evils to be missing one place. There is no bone spirit lamp in that place, and there are no other strongholds left: "Where is the last one."
Jin Banwei couldn't figure it out either.
But, according to common sense, there must be another place.
Many people died, and are still entangled in the aura of death.
Jin Banwei was stunned. She suddenly turned around and pointed towards the mountain they had just come out of: "Sister Ji Yue, it should be inside."
Guan Jiyue found it unbelievable: "What did you say?"
Jin Banwei looked at Guan Jiyue very seriously: "We made three marks to get out successfully. If we didn't make any marks, it would be a maze inside and there would be many monsters hiding. Thousands of people have died here. Most of their ghost kings and zombies were born here. Moreover, the spiritual energy here is very abundant. It should be the only place where you can gather enough power without a bone spirit lamp."
Lin Ping was silent for a long time. He didn't know the whole story, but he knew the four Huangquansha very well: "It's okay for smaller ones, but for a situation of this level, there must be guards here, and they should be difficult to deal with."
Guan Jiyue glanced at the Yellow Kite Spirit, and Lin Qing also glanced over, but quickly blew his beard and said, "He is incompetent. It is impossible to let a monster guard such a big game. Living people are more adept at controlling the formation."
The Yellow Kite Spirit had long been mute. When he heard Lin Qing's words, he was so angry that he trembled all over. He finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Fuck! I said that all of you Yin-Yang sorcerers are the same. You look down on us monsters!"
Lin Qing's old palm flipped lightly, and several pieces of spirit paper flew out of his palm, wrapping around the mouth of the Yellow Kite Spirit like circles of tape, turning the Yellow Kite Spirit into a demon spirit that could only stare.
Although Guan Jiyue didn't say anything, it was obvious that she meant the same thing.
The monsters guarding the formation do not have any unique advantages.
Jin Banwei looked at the mountain, and suddenly looked at Ren Qiao: "Could it be my sister? According to the information we have, their plan started more than a hundred years ago, and it all started with my sister. It shouldn't be strange if they set my sister as a part of this. Sister Ji Yue, you also said that there are many ways for Yin-Yang magicians to control ghosts. If they want to borrow my sister's power, they may not even need to pull her out of the death array."
Guan Jiyue didn't understand at first, until Jin Banwei pointed at the mark of the guardian deity on Ren Qiao's hand.
Lin Qing suddenly shook Ren Qiao's hand excitedly and said solemnly: "Ren Qiao, on behalf of all the living people, thank you for escaping."
Ren Qiao was somewhat at a loss as to what to do in response to Lin Qing's sudden gratitude: "Senior Lin, you..."
Guan Jiyue also looked at Ren Qiao, her brows furrowed, "You should be thankful. The Immortal Bone is guarding the formation, and even hiding in the Death Return Formation. Let alone breaking the formation, it's hard to find you."
"..." Don't mention it, although Guan Jiyue has not read the original book, she can really guess and she knows herself very well.
In the original book, she stayed in this mountain for a month and really didn't find Ren Qiao at all.
Guan Jiyue didn’t even realize that this was one of the four Huangquan Evils, but that’s understandable, because Guan Jiyue in the original book didn’t have Yan Tao to help her upgrade.
In the original book, it was unknown whether Ren Qiao was stuffed back into the Death Array or simply locked up back in the Lake of Divine Resentment and had his mind controlled.
But no matter which one it was, she had completely become a tool.
Fortunately, this time Ren Qiao will not be a tool in their hands.
Jin Banwei carefully pulled Ren Qiao's hand out of Lin Ping's. She held Ren Qiao's hand tightly, and her violently beating heart reminded her that she could never let it go.
None of these people will survive.
They all have to pay the price for what they have done.
——
They finally figured out the situation.
Shen Yuanqing and his group had lost too many people, and they were probably afraid that their true purpose would be exposed before they even implemented it, so they went ahead with the plan without finding new people to guard the formation or even having enough bone spirit lamps.
Their methods are far from being as complete as those in the original book, which also gives those who were not involved in the original book the opportunity to break out.
Although the people guarding the formation in the mountain are gone, the formation has not been broken, so they still need someone to go into the mountains again.
This task was naturally entrusted to Lin Qing.
Although he is not the oldest, his body is the oldest. In order to reduce the trouble for the old man, it is most appropriate to leave this place to Lin Qing.
As expected, Min Ziyu proposed to go to Sanqing Taoist Sect. No one stopped her because Sanqing Taoist Sect was relatively safe. Li Guichu and the others had already prepared for Ren Qingxu's move in advance, so they would not be completely wiped out and all fall asleep. The most likely possibility was that they were fighting desperately. Moreover, near them was Jianzhao Temple, which had suffered a great loss, so they should also be on guard.
There is Jianzhao Temple and Sanqing Taoist Sect, which should be the safest place.
Of course not necessarily. The person guarding the formation there should be Ren Qingxu. Jin Banwei didn't understand the upper limit of Ren Qingxu's strength.
When Min Ziyu proposed to go to Sanqing Daomen, Guan Jiyue took out two silver life-saving talismans from her bosom and handed them to Min Ziyu: "Take this to save your life."
Min Ziyu had almost gotten used to Guan Jiyue's coldness towards her. She was not used to Guan Jiyue's kindness and refused: "I don't need it."
Guan Jiyue stubbornly stuffed the life-saving talisman into her palm and said carefully, "It's not for you. This is what I promised Yan Tao."
She still remembered what she had promised Yan Tao.
If there were enough people, she would definitely not want to let Min Ziyu act alone. She was really annoyed by Min Ziyu, but it was also true that she didn't want Min Ziyu to get into trouble.
Min Ziyu's throat was hoarse: "This has nothing to do with..."
She wanted to ask what this had to do with Yan Tao, but thinking of the past, she suddenly didn't want to ask anymore. She just stubbornly returned the two life-saving talismans: "I don't need them, you keep them to save your life. You are young and I am old, and it is more worthwhile for me to die than for you. You can't have too many life-saving talismans."
They were still pushing each other away when Jin Banwei suddenly handed them a stack of life-saving talismans: "You don't have to push each other around, I have them here."
Guan Jiyue looked at the thick stack of life-saving talismans and immediately put her own life-saving talisman back into her arms. She squinted at Jin Banwei, and for the first time, there was a questioning look in her eyes: "Jin Banwei, you are a fraud."
Jin Banwei naturally knew what Guan Jiyue was talking about.
Isn't it just about using her life-saving talisman in the ghost town? The key point is that she really didn't have it at that time. This is the one she just drew.
Although the amount of good karma for this lottery has not increased, the equipment has been upgraded, and even the winning rate has increased to 80%.
At the fifth level, you can draw ten primary talisman papers, four intermediate talisman papers, one advanced talisman paper, and one top-level talisman paper fragment at a time. Two fragments can be exchanged to make a top-level talisman paper, but it is different now.
She had mastered almost all the primary talisman papers last time, and she could no longer rely on drawing primary talisman papers, but now she could draw eight intermediate talisman papers, two advanced talisman papers, and one top-level talisman paper at a time, and even special talisman papers could be drawn one at a time.
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining two pieces of the Luoshengna Talisman fragments. ]
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining two pieces of Tianshenlin fragments. ]
【……】
The lottery was still going on. Jin Banwei had previously thought that the two special talisman papers, the Luo Shengna Talisman and the Tian Shen Lin, required too many fragments. But in the blink of an eye, she had already collected five of the Luo Shengna Talismans that required ten fragments to make up, and would soon collect thirty-six fragments to make up a Tian Shen Lin.
It’s no wonder that she stared at the two talismans, mainly because the Luo Shengna Talisman and the Tianshen Lin were both very attractive.
One that can draw spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the body and increase combat strength in a short period of time. Although it can only be used by ghosts, it has no side effects at all.
One can enhance one's own bloodline to that of an immortal body in a short period of time, that is, immortal bones. Of course, this has side effects. Jin Banwei has not yet decided whether to use it. If possible, she wants to summon Yan Tao directly when in danger, but Yan Tao should be busy suppressing the evil spirits that have been disturbed in the underworld.
Yan Tao is strong, but she is in charge of almost the entire underworld and the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead.
If Yan Tao were to suppress everything, she would probably be so tired that she would dissipate on the spot.
Pluto's life doesn't seem to be an easy one. She has too many things to take care of and worry about, but she has done a good job in the past ten thousand years. She has tried her best to complete the system and consider everyone. She also considers the overall situation too much.
But Jin Banwei asked herself, if she were Yan Tao, what could she do?
Does she have to fight to the death to get back the three souls? Although she can kill Shen Yuanqing and the others, it will not be as simple as replacing the underworld officials at that time. It will be a real chaotic world. The boundary between the underworld and the world of the living will collapse, the system will collapse, evil spirits will come out of the underworld at will, and all living people will be swallowed up by evil spirits in an instant.
Everything that Yan Tao and the underworld officials have guarded for tens of thousands of years will no longer exist.
Disintegrate, dissipate.
What remains is a world without reincarnation, only ghosts.
If you think about it carefully, the underworld's ghost officials probably can't do their best. Each of their three souls suppresses countless evil spirits. Once they take back the three souls, they will bear great risks, so they are imprisoned without fighting wildly.
The ending of the underworld in the original book can only be described as tragic.
They lost because they cared about all living beings. If they were just a little more selfish, they could have won, but the price of selfishness is destroying the balance they had worked so hard to build and destroying all living beings.
Jin Banwei suddenly felt a little bit of admiration for Yan Tao and the others. How much had they paid to ensure that the people in the world of the living did not feel the slightest turbulence? You have to know that the original heroine was an Yin-Yang sorcerer, and an outstanding one at that, but she did not even notice the changes in the underworld.

It seems that everyone values their lives very much. I don’t know what they were refusing just now.
Jin Banwei didn't feel bad because the lottery was still going on and she had just won several life-saving talismans.
The system may have sensed their danger, as the number of times she drew the life-saving talisman became very high.
There was no suspense for them and Guan Jiyue in the remaining two places. They went to Yungu Village.
