The golden crow sets in the west, the sky's light is submerged by the horizon, the living return home, and the dead travel at night.
Situ Jing knew how to walk the Yin-Yang path, and his master also took him on that Yin-Yang path.
But when he actually saw Qing Wu's secret moves, his jaw dropped.
"Taking a living person to the underworld? How is this possible!"
"The Yin-Yang Road is filled with deathly aura. If a living person enters, he will become a meal for wandering ghosts. If he is not possessed by another, his yang energy will be sucked dry!"
Mu Ying had been helped out, holding the lantern that Qing Wu had given him.
"If you think it's impossible, you haven't lived long enough, kid."
Qing Wu was seen forming a seal with one hand, and speaking nonchalantly as if opening the back door of her own home.
"Chi 㵔, Yin Yang Road, open!"
There was no change in the surroundings, but everyone felt a cold wind blowing in their faces, the chill going straight into their bones and making their teeth chatter.
Without further ado, Qing Wu held Mu Ying's hand with one hand and pulled Xiao Chenyan's sleeve with the other, and led the two of them forward a step.
In an instant, the three figures disappeared.
The cold wind dissipated and everything seemed like an illusion.
'Child' Situ Jing pinched his thigh hard and took a deep breath: "Sure enough, I'm too young!"
This is something I have never seen before!
Yin and Yang Road.
Rather than a road, it is more like a dark wilderness with thick fog and no end in sight.
A cluster of faint flames lit up, it was the lantern in Mu Ying's hand. Her teeth chattered uncontrollably. It seemed that there were pairs of eyes spying on her in the fog, and all kinds of strange and fragmentary whispers echoed in her ears.
"roll--"
The woman shouted loudly, and even the thick fog shook. Something in the fog seemed to scream, and then fled in all directions.
Mu Ying felt that the pervasive evil spirit seemed to have let him go, and he heaved a sigh of relief. Then he heard a woman's voice coming from behind:
"I have sealed your yang fire into the soul lamp. It will guide you to find your son. No matter what sound you hear, don't look back."
"Remember, don't let go of the lamp. Once the lamp goes out, I will take you away immediately, regardless of whether I find Wang Yulang or not."
Mu Ying's heart tightened, "I understand." She felt the pull of the soul lamp in her hand and subconsciously wanted to walk faster.
But even if the bone-freezing cold winds were gone, the Yin-Yang Road was not so easy to walk on. My feet felt like they were found in a quagmire and yellow sand, with no leverage. Every step required a huge amount of strength.
Two figures followed behind him. Qing Wu watched calmly without helping.
The next step forward depends on Mu Ying himself.
Compared to Mu Ying's difficulty, Xiao Chenyan walked as if it were flat ground. He even had the leisure to look around.
Perhaps it was because the cold wind had been lingering in his bones for the past ten years, so even though he didn't have a soul lamp in his hand, he didn't feel how penetrating the cold wind was around him.
Even after he entered the Yin-Yang Road, the evil spirit in his body remained dormant, as if it was afraid and dared not show its head.
“It’s so bright…”
Xiao Chenyan turned his head towards the sound and met those beautiful and gloomy eyes.
Qing Wu looked at him straight, and her eyes made Xiao Chenyan feel a little strange. It was not the usual teasing and playful look, but instead was filled with inhuman greed.
Like a hungry beast seeing delicious food.
"What's so bright?"
"You." Qing Wu suppressed the greed that was surging up in her, and tried to stir up a little bit of human touch, "You probably don't know how dazzling your existence is on this yin and yang road."
Is it eye-catching? Xiao Chenyan didn't feel it.
Judge Bi swallowed his saliva and said, "I knew before that his fate was precious, but it was obscured by the evil spirit, so I couldn't tell how precious it was."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, with this golden light of merit and the dragon energy of the king, he is born with the destiny of an emperor. No wonder you, Wu, dared to let him walk the Yin-Yang Road directly."
Xiao Chenyan frowned suddenly and looked at Qing Wu again.
Just now he vaguely heard something talking, and the voice came from Qing Wu. Although he couldn't hear the specific content, Xiao Chenyan was sure that he did not hear it wrongly.
Xiao Chenyan lowered his eyes and suddenly asked, "Is this the world after death? The Yellow Spring Road?"
"This place can't be considered the Yellow Springs Road, it's just the gap between the human world and the underworld." Qing Wu said:
"The Yellow Springs Road is 180,000 miles long, with countless wandering ghosts roaming along it. Only when a ghost catcher can the soul be captured can one complete the journey and then cross the Yellow Springs to reach the underworld."
"Those wandering on the Yin-Yang Road are either the souls of those who died unjustly or the ghosts who died unjustly. Their obsession with the human world has disappeared, and they will keep wandering here, looking for an opportunity to return to the human world."
Xiao Chenyan didn't know what he was thinking of. He suddenly held Qing Wu's hand and stared at her without blinking. "If I want to find a person's soul, can I find it here?"
"I can't find them." Qing Wu shook her head: "I know who you want to find, but their souls don't want to be on this road."
The people Xiao Chenyan wanted to find were none other than the former crown prince and the former crown princess.
But unfortunately, her father and brother were not the only ones whose souls disappeared after their death.
The same is true for the soul of Xiao Chenyan's father.
Ten years ago, his father committed suicide by burning himself in the Eastern Palace, and her father and brother died in the northern border on the same day.
"Xiao Chenyan." Qing Wu suddenly held his hand and said seriously: "I am here to help you, are you willing to believe me?"
The warmth in the woman's palm dispelled the negative energy around her and transmitted it directly to her.
This warmth did not seem to come from her living body, but from a hot soul hidden within her body.
Xiao Chenyan felt strange and familiar.
Do you trust it?
He was distracted for a moment.
Do you trust an unidentified ghost in human form?
This is a big gamble.
But before Qing Wu could get an answer, Mu Ying in front of her exclaimed.
"I heard it. It was Yulang's voice! I heard Yulang calling me!"
Mu Ying couldn't hold back her tears. She subconsciously started running: "In front, right in front!"
"Yulang's voice drifted away, and he asked me to save him!"
Suddenly, a chain shot out from the fog in front and whipped towards Mu Ying.
A strange and cold voice sounded at the same time: "How dare a living person trespass into the Yin-Yang Road? He is seeking death!"
One hand directly grabbed the chain, and there was a sound of "claw", and the long sword was unsheathed and slashed downwards, and the chain broke with a sound.
Qing Wu looked at Xiao Chenyan in surprise.
The man's eyes were stern and murderous, and the aura of a sword was enough to scare away ghosts and gods.
She really didn't expect that Xiao Chenyan's sword could actually cut off the soul-binding lock.
A shrill voice rang out from the fog, roaring in anger:
"How dare you, a mortal, cut off the soul-binding chain!"
The fog dispersed, revealing a man with a blue face, bulging eyes, and wearing a green ghost catcher's uniform. He held a black chain in his hand, with two living souls tied behind the chain. The other end of the chain was cut off.
He looked eerie and stared at Qing Wu and the other two with unfriendly eyes.
The little boy in the two living souls yelled, "Mom!"
"It's Yulang! That's my Yulang!"
Upon hearing this, the green-clothed ghost's eyes became more malicious: "Okay, so you are here to look for souls. The mortals here are really brave."
"You dare to destroy my magic weapon? Since the three of you are here, why don't you just stay here!"
The moment Qing Wu saw the green-clothed ghost messenger, her eyes turned cold.
A clue suddenly became clear in my mind.
The Judge's Pen was also angry: "How could Wang Yulang's soul be in the hands of this little minion? You used Xiao Chenyan's yang energy to deceive the Book of Life and Death, and Wang Yulang's soul was trapped and hidden again."
"Only when Mu Ying finds Wang Yulang's living soul will the Book of Life and Death react. When the ghost messenger comes, he will only guard Wang Yulang's body and wait to capture his soul."
"This green-clothed ghost is really strange. How does it know where Wang Yulang's soul is?"
Qing Wu responded in a cold voice: "Are you blind? Don't you see that these bastards have detained two living souls?"
"The Yin Canon has an order, and the living souls cannot be restrained. Those who violate it will be dismissed from their Yin positions and thrown into the volcanic hell."
"Who said this bastard was a ghost messenger?"
The green-clothed ghost was fully exposed when he saw three living people appear on the Yin-Yang Road. When his eyes fell on the golden light of merit on Xiao Chenyan's body, he swallowed hard.
This is a fat sheep!
The next moment, a terrifying gaze that was barely perceptible to a living person but could make a ghost's soul tremble came towards him.
"I don't know since when a green-headed fly can become a ghost messenger in the underworld!"
