Yangjia Village is located at the foot of Dongshan Mountain.
Today, Lin Weiguo was dressed like an urban elite, in a gray-black suit paired with a red short-sleeved shirt, looking both cool and stylish.
He took out a Bulgari watch from his pocket, put it on, and said, "Wanwan, can you help me see if this watch matches my outfit?"
After saying that, he stepped forward and let Jiang Wanwan examine the watch closely. It was a Bulgari ALUMINIUM watch, with a striking black and white design that accentuated its sharp and distinctive nature, while the red arrowhead on the second hand exuded a vibrant and energetic spirit.
"They're a good match!"
Jiang Wanwan praised him, and kept complimenting him on how fashionable and stylish he was becoming.
Yan Ziyan, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but feel envious, so he said, "Now that Elder Lin has arrived, let's set off!"
It turned out that the three of them had planned to set off together today to the Bewitching Palace outside the Netherworld to find the Soul-Guiding Lotus.
Lin Weiguo and Jiang Wanwan arrived at Jiugongshan Cemetery in Kyoto in just a few moments.
He only recently learned from the ghost messengers that the entrance to the ghost realm was located beneath this cemetery.
"It is said that we have to pass through many places to get to the Netherworld. Today, we will pass through the Yellow Springs Road, the Looking-Home Terrace, the Evil Dog Ridge, the Golden Rooster Mountain, the Night Ghost Village, and the Bewitching Hall. As long as we don't enter Fengdu City or have our souls leave our bodies, there will be no danger. You two have to stick close to me." Lin Weiguo carefully instructed.
Jiang Wanwan and the other woman nodded, indicating that they would follow all of Lin Weiguo's arrangements.
Then, Lin Weiguo began to move his hands rapidly, drawing mysterious circles in the air.
As he moved, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently, then split in two, revealing a bottomless, dark hole.
"Go!" Lin Weiguo whispered, then jumped into the cave without hesitation. Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan exchanged a glance and followed suit.
Almost the instant they jumped down, a huge portal suddenly appeared before them.
The gate is engraved with three ancient characters—"Road to the Underworld".
Before this door stood two tall, grim-faced underworld officials. They held black chains that snatched away death, their icy gazes like two sharp swords, piercing straight at Jiang Wanwan and her companions.
Led by Lin Weiguo, Jiang Wanwan and her two companions suddenly unleashed their oppressive aura, like an invisible torrent sweeping towards the two underworld officials.
The two underworld messengers' expressions changed drastically, their bodies trembling involuntarily. They quickly averted their gazes, no longer daring to look directly at the three men.
"Hey! You two brothers, could you let us through? We'll be right back!"
Lin Weiguo walked up with a smile and greeted him warmly.
As he spoke, he took out two Yin Yuan Stones and two brand-new cell phones from his pocket and, taking advantage of the fact that the Yin messengers were not paying attention, quietly stuffed them into the black pants pocket of one of the Yin messengers.
The underworld official was taken aback at first, then secretly touched his pocket and immediately felt a rich and pure Yin energy.
His eyes lit up instantly, his heart filled with joy, and he winked at his companion beside him.
The underworld official was also a clever fellow. Upon seeing this, he immediately took out the plaque on his chest, and with a light swipe, the gate to the underworld slowly opened, emitting a muffled sound.
"Sirs, please!"
The two underworld messengers were now obsequiously guiding him, bowing and scraping, a stark contrast to their initial demeanor.
Meanwhile, in the practice rooms of the C City Conservatory of Music.
Ming Chen has been learning musical instruments from Li Xue for the past two days. He has discovered that the music of Blue Star is something that even the Nine Heavens Continent will find hard to match in a hundred years.
He was like a seedling that had been parched for a long time and then received rain, eagerly absorbing the world's music theory knowledge and instrument playing techniques.
He left a divine imprint on Li Xue, and when he discovered that she had not returned home late at night, a sense of worry welled up in his heart, so he decided to go out and find her himself.
As he walked outside the school's music room, a melodious and deep singing voice reached his ears.
The sound was so beautiful, like heavenly music, that he couldn't help but stop and listen quietly.
"I'll play Chopin's Nocturne for you, to commemorate my dead love. Its sound is like the night wind, beautifully heartbreaking..."
The beautiful melody captivated him, leaving him completely engrossed.
The low, mournful notes gently struck his heart, while the cool moonlight quietly fell on his shoulders, giving him a sense of poignant beauty and loneliness from afar.
When the song ended, Mingchen remained in a daze for a long time.
As Li Xue finished her practice for the day and stepped out of the music room, she bumped into Ming Chen and couldn't help but wonder what he was doing there.
"Were you singing and playing music just now?"
Li Xue nodded, looking at the distraught person, and asked, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home?"
For the past two days, Mingchen has been staying at Li Xue's rented house under the pretext of studying, in exchange for a bottle of Nourishing Essence Pills.
"That's not important. What instrument did you use to play that piece? Could you play it again?"
Looking into Mingchen's starry eyes, which sparkled brightly, Li Xue agreed as if possessed.
As soon as she sat down at the piano, she regretted it! Why didn't she negotiate with him?
As the prelude to "Nocturne" began, the entire room seemed to be enveloped in a tranquil and beautiful atmosphere.
Li Xue's fingers gently touched the piano keys, and notes flowed from her fingertips like water. Her expression was focused and absorbed, and her entire demeanor changed, becoming increasingly quiet and beautiful.
Mingchen closed his eyes, fully enjoying the pleasure and emotion brought by the music. At this moment, his heart experienced unprecedented relaxation and peace.
As the music ended, Li Xue lowered her hands and slowly came to her senses. She turned to look at Ming Chen and asked softly, "How was it?"
Instead of offering a comment, Mingchen asked, "Xiaoxue, what were you thinking when you played this piece just now?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xue was taken aback at first, then recalled her earlier appearance, and then chuckled as she mimicked the netizen's exact words:
"Just like netizens say: to live is to overcome mountains and build bridges over rivers. It takes skill to get through things on your own, and it takes a big picture to help others. Don't worry about anything before you go to sleep at night, and when you open your eyes in the morning, it will feel like you've been reborn!"
Mingchen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned, with the word "new life" echoing in his mind.
Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something, and he fell into a state of enlightenment.
Li Xue, standing to the side, was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth as she looked at the vortex of spiritual energy gathering around Ming Chen.
She never imagined that this seemingly foolish man was actually a cultivator! But upon closer reflection, someone who could easily produce such a precious pill as the Nourishing Essence Pill must have an extraordinary identity.
Just then, a fierce wind arose outside the window, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Li Xue nervously ran to the window, wanting to see what had happened.
