The raindrops in the sky gradually subsided, and the ghosts almost all lost their deadly appearance and returned to their original appearance.
They looked at Luo Xi with burning eyes, waiting for the voice of their salvation.
The golden light spots also gradually disappeared, most of them poured into Luo Xi's body, and the other half entered the belly of the little golden dragon. But fortunately, the little golden dragon was coiled on Luo Xi's wrist, so nothing unusual could be seen.
The other onlookers watched the golden light spots disappear with their eyes wide open, and couldn't help but sigh.
The golden light of merit, they also want it!
But on second thought, they could only suppress their full envy.
The golden light of merit is not something that can be obtained casually. Apart from other things, they cannot even summon the Taiyin Merit Water Method. If they really summon it with difficulty, with their talents and qualifications, they will probably be drained in an instant.
Not everyone can use the Taoist method. As the saying goes, "the bigger the hand, the bigger the bowl." Forcing yourself to use moves that are too much beyond your ability will only overdraw your life.
How did Qin Tianxing die?
It is very likely that he overdrawn his life by using some moves.
With Qin Tianxing's previous experience, although everyone is envious, they don't have much jealousy.
...
Luo Xi recited the mantra for the dead. It was a common mantra, but when it flowed from her lips, it seemed to have a unique rhythm, like the most moving tune, solemn and peaceful, outlining the most beautiful place to rest.
The ghosts half-closed their eyes and listened quietly.
There was a wave in the distant sky, and a blurry and transparent high door appeared in the air.
The Taoist priests, who were already stunned, stared at the high door that was rich in ancient rhyme and appeared and disappeared from time to time. Incredible whispers: "Gate of Hell..."
There is the underworld, the Yellow Spring Road, and naturally there is Gate of Hell.
Behind the Gate of Hell is a land that living people are not allowed to enter. It is the place where the dead and the ghosts of the underworld enter and exit.
In the past, when the ghosts were liberated, they ascended to heaven and disappeared, which actually meant they had entered the Yellow Spring Road. They had to walk a long way on the Yellow Spring Road before they could reach the Ghost Gate.
There were people who could open the Ghost Gate directly in the past, but the last person who opened the Ghost Gate directly was probably a few hundred years ago, and they were all famous figures in the history of Taoism.
Now, many people at the scene have seen the Ghost Gate opened directly for the first time!
Everyone looked at the slightly blurry Ghost Gate in the air and thought, so this is what the Ghost Gate looks like, it's really a big experience!
...
The Ghost Gate appeared, and the ghosts seemed to know where they should go, and they all raised their heads and looked up.
The Ghost Gate slowly opened, and before the ghosts had time to float over there, a figure walked out of the Ghost Gate first.
Wearing an official hat, holding a token in one hand and a sword in the other, he was covered in a black and red ancient official robe, with his half-long hair tied up in the official hat. He walked out of the ghost gate step by step, followed by several ghost messengers and strongmen.
The man had a serious expression, handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, but he was serious and majestic. A casual glance at him immediately gave people a sense of great pressure.
Anyone who knows a little bit knows that this is a visitor from the underworld.
And he is an official!
Taoist priests sometimes recruit ghost soldiers, especially when there are many lonely ghosts to save, it is a common practice to recruit ghost messengers to assist.
But the people present have seen ghost messengers recruited, and occasionally those who are capable can recruit strongmen, but no one has seen anyone recruit officials from the underworld to do things!
Seeing this scene, even those who were almost shocked by Tang Luoxi couldn't help but exclaimed "Fuck!", feeling sour in their hearts. It's
so annoying to compare yourself to others!
People like Tang Luoxi are still playing in the mud at their age, but they have already recruited officials from the underworld!
Not to mention the previous Taiyin Merit Water Method, is that something a human can do!
Tang Luoxi is the daughter of the Water Official Emperor, the great treasure of the Heavenly Dao Law!
The annual Dharma Assembly is for the young people to show their faces and let everyone recognize them. But Tang Luoxi, on the other hand, didn't recognize anyone at all, this was simply a battle to become famous!
Before today, no one would believe that there would be such a talented young man, even Qin Tianxing was still young and naive in his youth.
If someone had said before today that there would be a 19-year-old girl who could draw talismans with water magic and defy the heavens, and could even summon officials from the underworld, these senior Taoists would definitely spit in the face of that person.
But after today, these Taoists knew clearly in their hearts.
The lineage of the Water Official Dongyin Emperor was about to regain its glory, and even more so, as long as Tang Luoxi was not damaged, this lineage would defy the heavens! It would definitely reach a height that people would look up to!
Everyone thought this was simply too crazy, and couldn't help but move their eyes to Luoxi again.
How could such a monster not be among their disciples? Qin Tianxing, that old guy who had been dead for decades, actually got there first!
Luoxi looked at the summoned ghost messengers and strongmen, and the one in the official uniform at the head looked very familiar.
Luo Xi: “…”
This face… is fuller than before, and the spirit doesn’t look as overworked as last time. The facial features are very familiar, but the temperament seems a little different.
Last time he was a chatterbox, this time he looks particularly… pretentious?
Luo Xi silently poked Qin Ran who was already petrified beside him.
After Qin Ran experienced the scene of the golden light of merit, he seemed to be less afraid of the ghosts present, especially after the ghosts were washed by the water of Taiyin, they looked a little more human and more like living people, so he calmed down a little.
As a result, just as he slowed down, he saw an ancient and gloomy door opened in the air. Several guys who looked not human at first glance walked out from inside, and Master Qin was suddenly not well again.
Oh my god!
Even if those guys look like civil servants from the underworld, they are still ghosts!
Not to mention they are dressed so eerie and weird. The one in the front is dressed like Zhong Kui, and the ones in the back have green faces and fangs, and they are holding chains and whips in their hands!
Could they be ghost messengers?
Grandpa, there really is an underworld in this world!
Your grandson, I have seen the gates of hell!!!
Qin Ran hid behind Luo Xi with tears in his eyes, and said tremblingly: "Then, those ghost guys will not come over, why are they always looking at this side..."
Luo Xi was silent for a few seconds, moved to the side, and exposed him.
Qin Ran: “!!!”
Qin Ran looked at Luo Xi in horror. Is the master unwilling to protect him? ? He, he is scared!
Luo Xi slowly pointed at the guys coming out of the ghost gate, nodded the leading one, and said slowly: "That's your great grandfather, Qin Tianxing."
Qin Ran was stunned. He turned his head inch by inch, and stiffly faced the ghost with a pretentious face, "...my great grandfather?"
"Yeah."
"Impossible! My grandfather is so old, my great grandfather should be older than my grandfather! Even if my great grandfather didn't leave any photos from that era, I wouldn't mistake him to this extent. Think about it, even if the old orange peel's face had plastic surgery, it wouldn't be like this!"
Qin Ran categorically denied the identity of the ghost guy over there.
Even if that ghost looks like an official from the underworld, the Qin family will not be so spineless as to abandon their ancestors and recognize other ghosts as their elders!
Luo Xi: "..."
Luo Xi looked at Qin Ran mysteriously, wondering how this guy's brain grew.
Wasn't it said that the Qin family had a portrait of Qin Tianxing, and that he couldn't recognize the person when he saw the portrait since he was a child?
Qin Tianxing knew that Luo Xi was coming to attend the ceremony. Thinking that this would be Luo Xi's first appearance in the other world, he secretly planned to help, to support his junior sister and let her show off.
For this purpose, he went back to the underworld, put on his full set of official uniforms, and borrowed a few Yin soldiers from the city god with whom he had a friendship, and put together a show of pretentiousness, just waiting to shock everyone and make his little junior sister look good.
According to the plan, he had been squatting near Baiyun Temple early. When he noticed that there was a mantra of rebirth leading the ghosts to ascend to heaven, he immediately took action.
In order to pretend to be successful, he also specially arranged the Ghost Gate, so that the Ghost Gate could make an exception and appear vaguely in the world of the living.
Then he led the ghost catcher and the strongman out of the Ghost Gate in a particularly impressive manner, shocking the dead Taoist priests outside.
As a result, he came out with a pretense, and also received a lot of surprised and unbelievable looks.
But just when he was proud of himself, he found that everyone's eyes had shifted, as if he and the ghost catcher and the strongman behind him were insignificant little characters, and all the focus of their eyes was on the Dharma Altar Luo Xi.
Qin Tianxing: "..."
What's going on, you are looking at me!
Turn back for me!
I haven't even started to show off my power yet!
Qin Tianxing put on airs and looked dignified, but he didn't receive the respect and worship he expected with his fluttering sleeves.
He looked at the altar with displeasure. There stood his junior sister Tang Luoxi and his great-grandson Qin Ran.
What's so good about these two people?
Qin Tianxing walked over there with a stiff face and the ghost messengers and strongmen. It stands to reason that after recruiting the ghost soldiers, the Taoist priests should greet the recruited ghost soldiers.
If the ghost messenger is an ordinary ghost messenger, the ghost messenger will take the initiative to salute the Taoist priest. If it is a strongman of a higher grade, it depends on whether the Taoist priest's ability is worthy of the strongman's respect.
And if it is an official in the underworld... There has been no precedent of recruiting officials to the underworld in the past hundred years!
But after all, he is also an official, and Luoxi should have taken the initiative to step forward and salute. But seeing the two men standing still at the altar, Qin Tianxing comforted himself that they were family after all, and he had come to support his junior sister, so it was okay for him to take the initiative.
Qin Tianxing led the ghost messenger to Luo Xi's side, and as soon as he approached, he heard Qin Ran's mentally retarded words.
Qin Tianxing silently touched his face and decided to train this great-grandson well when he returned, at least to let Qin Ran remember his birth date clearly!
He was only in his thirties when he died!
It was the prime of his life, and he was in his prime!
Who the hell is an old idiot!
This idiot!
He didn't inherit the good bloodline of their Qin family at all!
It turned out that he didn't exercise enough, and those old ghosts were not strong enough, so he had to educate him himself!
Qin Tianxing floated to the altar and asked with a deep breath: "Who summoned me?"
Qin Ran was startled and hid behind Luo Xi like a rabbit.
Luo Xi looked at Qin Tianxing silently, not understanding what the old man was up to.
Qin Tianxing gave her a meaningful look, signaling the little junior sister to quickly cooperate with him to make the scene bigger and scare the group of Taoist priests who had never seen the world next to them.
As a result, Luo Xi didn't understand what he meant at all, and tilted her head and called out softly: "Senior brother, are you on the night shift?"
Qin Tianxing: "..."
The ghost officers and strongmen behind him: "..."
The whip chains in the hands of those ghost officers and strongmen almost fell off, and their eyes glanced at Luo Xi and Qin Tianxing.
Oh, this powerful girl in front of him turned out to be the junior sister of Master Qin?
It was a rare occasion for Master Qin to pay attention to the pomp and circumstance, and they thought they were going to deal with some powerful ghosts tonight, but in the end, nothing happened.
The ghosts under the main hall had all been washed by the water of Taiyin, and were as docile as lambs. There was no need for so many of them, and one ghost messenger was enough.
Just as they were wondering, they heard Luo Xi reveal the relationship. Several ghost messengers and strongmen suddenly realized and looked at Qin Tianxing's back in shock.
My God, the famous Master Qin would also use the backdoor to support his family!
These ghost messengers and strongmen were all human beings when they were alive, and they were thieves.
After death, they performed well in the underworld and did not want to reincarnate, so they got this position over time. They all died relatively early, and those ghost messengers were about a hundred years old, which could barely be considered the same generation as Qin Tianxing.
In the first few years after becoming a ghost messenger, colleagues were often recruited by Qin Tianxing.
What people heard most in the underworld were all kinds of stories about Qin Tianxing, such as his natural talent, uprightness, unconventional behavior, one sword to save the world, and many followers.
It can be said that Qin Tianxing's reputation is not only famous in the world, but also in the underworld. The ghost messengers in the City God Temple were all scratching their heads to be able to follow Master Qin to do things this time.
In the end, what did they hear!
Master Qin seemed to be different from what they imagined!
On the other side, the onlookers stood a little further away and could only see that Luo Xi seemed to be talking to the recruited ghost soldiers, but they couldn't hear what they said specifically.
Only the old Taoist priest in the "celestial cave robe" stared at Qin Tianxing blankly, looked at Qin Tianxing's face carefully, and squinted his eyes to look at the sword in Qin Tianxing's hand, muttering to himself: "Impossible..." The
apprentice beside him looked at him in surprise, "Master? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Why are you shaking?
The old Taoist priest stared at the guy dressed as an official from the underworld, and said without doubt: "Qin... Qin Tianxing, it's Qin Tianxing's guy!"
This sentence was like water in a frying pan, causing the scene to explode.
"Qin Tianxing?"
"Is it the Qin Tianxing from the Qin family?"
Everyone suspected that the old Taoist priest might have seen it wrong.
The old Taoist smiled and said affirmatively, "It can't be wrong."
Qin Tianxing didn't leave any photos. Although there are portraits, the traditional Chinese portrait technique is generally freehand, and it is not necessarily possible to match the person when facing him directly. Qin Ran still has a portrait of Qin Tianxing hanging in his house, but Qin Ran didn't recognize him.
The old Taoist naturally didn't recognize him through the portrait, but through the sword.
Qin Tianxing's sword, one sword kills thousands of ghosts, and one sword saves the world.
Qin Tianxing's sword is as famous as he is, but when he disappeared, the sword also disappeared.
Several generations have changed in the past few decades, and not many people can still remember it.
It is said that the old Taoist's master once killed evil spirits with Qin Tianxing, and when he has nothing to do, he likes to talk about the days of the past with his apprentice. Qin Tianxing's sword was also sketched by his master, and it is still kept in the old Taoist's room.
He is very sure that the sword in the hand of the man in the robe of the underworld is the sword of Qin Tianxing. In addition, Qin Tianxing was in his thirties when he disappeared, so his age can match.
As for his appearance...
According to legend, Qin Tianxing is quite handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome and extraordinary. The man in front of him happens to be of this type, so it is almost certain.
Anyway, he doesn't believe that anyone can rob Qin Tianxing's sword. Even if Qin Tianxing is dead, the sword can only belong to Qin Tianxing.
The old Taoist sighed: "I didn't expect that he went to the underworld to be an official."
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Hasn't Qin Tianxing been dead for decades? How come he is in the underworld..."
"Are you stupid? Only a dead person can go to the underworld to be an official! He disappeared for decades, and I thought he was reincarnated. It turns out he became an official!"
"Since he has disappeared for decades, why is he here again now!?"
"Tang Luoxi is my junior sister..."
"..."
Damn, is he afraid that they will bully the little girl, so he comes to support her?
So what? They are not wolves, tigers and leopards, and they will not swallow the little girl.
What's more, the little girl doesn't need him to worry about her at all. The well-behaved girl is simply a prehistoric beast. Her talent is so high that it makes people like them ashamed.
Who dares to bully her!
Even if they were still holding back at first, after seeing Luo Xi's series of actions, all their pride was shattered into pieces.
They had been hit so badly, but Qin Tianxing was still worried and ran out to support them. Even the Ghost Gate was opened. How could the underworld allow him to do such a thing? The upright and honest underworld has fallen!
Although people complained, they knew in their hearts that this was Qin Tianxing's strength. He
was extremely powerful and had many achievements during his lifetime.
After his death, he was dressed in the robes of the underworld, and even the Ghost Gate reappeared in the world as an exception.
This was the Qin Tianxing who dominated an era. Even if he disappeared for decades, when he reappeared, he could still make people feel his overwhelming strength.
With Qin Tianxing in front and Tang Luoxi behind, looking ahead to the next few decades, the quiet Taoist sect may become lively.
The Taoists over there were making a lot of noise, and Qin Tianxing, Luoxi and others all had good hearing, so they heard the discussion clearly.
Qin Tianxing's face was a little dark, and a little proud.
He was counting on supporting his junior sister, but he was recognized at once.
Alas, his reputation is still famous even after a few decades.
Only Qin Ran was still in disbelief, staring at the man in front of him who looked a little older than himself, and asked hesitantly: "Is it really my great grandfather?"
Luo Xi nodded.
Qin Ran howled and looked at Qin Tianxing expectantly: "Grandpa, turn off my Yin-Yang eyes?"
Since his great grandfather is so awesome, he will definitely be able to solve his troubles!
Qin Tianxing laughed in his heart, but his face was serious: "I am summoned to lead the lonely ghosts back to the underworld. There is a difference between yin and yang, so don't talk about personal matters."
Qin Ran: "!!!"
He wanted to wail in despair, but was frightened by the majesty of the grandfather. He thought that the underworld really had such rules and could not be partial.
Luo Xi patted him sympathetically and comforted him half-heartedly: "It's okay, I think your acceptance level is getting higher and higher, you won't be afraid if you practice more."
Qin Ran held up the last bit of self-esteem and didn't choke out a sound.
Qin Tianxing ignored his great-grandson and signaled Luo Xi to continue the salvation.
It's not good to be called out for his identity, anyway, he is here to support Luo Xi.
Let those guys who boast of their status see clearly that Tang Luoxi is the successor of their Shuiguan family and Qin Tianxing's junior sister. He has not yet been reincarnated. Those who want to have evil ideas had better weigh their own weight first, and don't think of bullying others by relying on their age.
...
Luoxi recited the mantra of rebirth again.
The ghosts in front of the main hall became quieter because of the arrival of the ghost messenger, and slowly floated towards the ghost gate under the guidance of the mantra of rebirth.
It was not the first time that Qin Ran saw the salvation. The male ghost in Batian Entertainment was also saved and ascended to heaven. But forced salvation is not the same as being saved willingly, and the number this time is much larger than that time.
All the lonely ghosts in front of the main hall ascended to heaven together, their souls emitting milky white halos, gradually changing from human forms to balls of light, circling in the direction of Luo Xi, as if to salute and thank her, and then rushing into the ghost gate one by one.
"Like the monkeys in heaven..." Qin Ran muttered to himself.
The speed at which the balls of light rushed into the ghost gate was a bit fast, and it seemed that they were lining up and coming one by one.
Qin Ran inexplicably thought of the fireworks he played with when he was a child. There was a kind of fireworks that would fly up to the sky when lit and explode at the highest point. It was called the "Sky Monkey".
Qin Tianxing couldn't help but glared at his great-grandson.
He threatened in a deep voice: "Please respect the dead, otherwise they will come to chat with you at night."
Qin Ran was stunned and pointed at the ghost gate: "They have all gone to the underworld, how can they still chat with me?"
The defense of your underworld can't be so scumbag, allowing ghosts to come and go freely, where would King Yanluo put his face!
Qin Tianxing finally showed his first smile of the day, and said meaningfully: "After they leave, there are always brothers and friends left in the world. Don't underestimate the social circle of ghosts."
Qin Ran: "..."
He turned his head and shrank behind Luo Xi, asking for protection from the golden thigh.
Qin Tianxing looked at his great-grandson's skilled movements and knew that his great-grandson had done this many times. He glared at Qin Ran with hatred, and his eyes clearly expressed, "Where is your self-esteem? Isn't it shameful to hide behind a woman!"
Qin Ran laughed and ignored his grandfather.
He finally understood that his grandfather was not reliable at all!
It seems that as an official of the underworld, he is restricted everywhere. Even if he has power but cannot use it against himself, it is useless. He is not as reliable as Tang Luoxi. At least Luoxi can draw a talisman for him so that those ghosts can't get close to him. His grandfather can only scare him!
What's more, what's wrong with hiding behind Luoxi? She is not an ordinary woman. She is obviously a Taoist master, a fairy, and a goddess!
It's not shameful to hide behind a goddess!
Didn’t you see that the Taoists over there were looking at Luo Xi with such glare that they almost burned her through, they were so excited that they almost shouted ‘Goddess, you are our idol’!
All the ghosts returned to the ghost gate, and after the last ball of white light entered, the ghost messenger Li Shi saluted Qin Tianxing, and whispered to remind him that the time had come and it was time to return to the underworld.
Qin Tianxing nodded to show that he understood.
He glanced at the group of people with burning eyes next to him, turned his head and said to Luo Xi: "In addition to official business today, as your senior brother, I have to give you a gift when we meet for the first time. I have nothing else, and this sword is pretty good, so I’ll give it to you."
Qin Ran felt that the Grandfather was simply hypocritical. It was said that no one should talk about personal matters when they
were on official business! He said no to personal matters with him, but he even gave Luo Xi a sword. What a no to personal matters!
Luo Xi wanted to remind Qin Tianxing that he and she had met three times, but the first two times were in dreams. There was no need for any gifts for the meeting, she didn't care about it.
Qin Tianxing glanced at her and warned her not to talk too much. He was doing her a favor.
Luo Xi looked at the sword and wondered if the sword held by the ghost was real?
It would be embarrassing if she couldn't even touch it. How did Taoists treat such things? She had never learned it.
Qin Tianxing handed the sword to her, "Take the sword."
Luo Xi stretched out her hand slowly.
Strangely, when she touched the sword, she heard the buzzing sound of golden swords, and the fighting spirit and murderous aura that came over her made her hair stand on end. The sword seemed to be flowing with blood, and then it returned to calm in an instant.
Luo Xi held the sword and blinked in confusion.
The sword, which had no entity just now, solidified the moment she touched it.
It looked like it was made of fine iron, but in her perception, it was not a sword, but an energy that was pure and full of murderous aura.
The energy seemed to have spirituality, and it hummed in her hand.
Qin Tianxing's sword is a kind of energy?
So this sword has no entity at all, and the appearance of the sword is just a mimicry. No wonder after Qin Tianxing's death, all the books were left behind, but this sword was nowhere to be found.
Qin Tianxing curled his lips slightly, "This sword has the same name as me, Tianxing. It has killed thousands of ghosts and helped all kind souls. I hope you will use it well."
After he finished speaking, he left with the ghost messenger.
The ghost gate slowly disappeared after Qin Tianxing stepped in.
