Chapter 193: Journey to the Underworld 1
After understanding all this, Lu Li and Uncle Jiu went to rest.
He got a lot of ghost money from Uncle Jiu, which made Uncle Jiu's eyes tear up with heartache. Printing these things costs a lot.
But going to the underworld to do business requires some preparation.
Uncle Jiu had to give it even though it hurt his heart.
There is an old saying that goes, "A poor home makes a rich road."
Lu Li has always agreed with this.
It was not until the next morning that Lu Li flew towards the mountain residence on his flying sword under the reluctant gazes of Uncle Jiu and Wencai.
"Why? You can't bear to leave!"
Hearing the voice, Uncle Jiu turned around and saw that it was Master Qin and Shi Jian who were looking at him and smiling.
Hua Ling and the old foreigner Wencai bowed to the two men and then retreated.
Uncle Jiu tried to hold on and said, "Who can't bear to let go? My disciple has grown up and should go out and explore more."
"Okay, I don't know you yet. When it comes to doting on your disciples, you are number one in the entire Maoshan, and Shi Jian is number two.
If Xiao Li hadn't worked hard to make a living outside, you might still be reluctant to let go."
Why did you drag me into this? Shi Jian next to him looked at Master Qin in astonishment.
"What are you looking at? A few days ago I saw Shaojian and Wencai grilling fish in the valley behind Ermao Peak.
Look at the friends he made, and see how much trouble they have caused in the two years since Wencai arrived.
That kid's goal is to have enough food and drink for his whole life, and your apprentice can learn a lot from him."
"This evil creature, I'll beat him up when I get back."
The two strands of beard at the corners of Shi Jian's mouth fluttered with anger.
"Brother, fighting all the time won't work. I think we should wait for Xiao Li to come back and ask him if he has any good ideas.
Or let him take care of Shao Jian."
Uncle Jiu comforted him by saying that Shi Shaojian was actually very smart, but he was almost driven stupid by Shi Jian in recent years.
I have been in Maoshan and I am still in the middle stage of Qi training, and I can’t improve any further.
"Thank you very much, Junior Brother. I am most relieved about Xiao Li. As long as you don't take Shao Jian's life, the rest will be fine."
With a wave of his hand, Shi Shaojian was given away by his father.
"You are still giving people advice, but I'm saying that you acted rashly this time.
Knowing that something is wrong, he still took the risk.
It doesn't matter if you die. You know how deep Xiaoli's feelings for you are.
If he gets upset, with his methods and ruthlessness, the spiritual world will be in turmoil."
Uncle Jiu lowered his head. It was not that he was unaware of the danger, but firstly he wanted to save face, and secondly he did not want to trouble Lu Li.
I didn't expect that the more you didn't think about it, the more he would move in that direction.
"Master, I was wrong."
“Well, after your injury is healed, you can go into seclusion and you are not allowed to come out until you reach the Golden Core stage.
I'll ask your senior brother to help you look after Ermao Peak for the time being.
Don't worry, Xiao Li, several elders and I have used our great magical powers to calculate this trip.
There's no danger. That little rascal is smarter than a ghost.
The elders below will also protect him."
"As ordered!"
Uncle Jiu agreed.
Master Qin and Shi Jian also came to see Lu Li off, but they did not show up in person.
In fact, Lu Li also felt their presence.
I know they are also worried about my safety.
It only took Lu Li more than an hour to fly to the mountain palace. Mount Tai is of great significance to Shenzhou.
Although it is not the highest mountain in China, it is definitely the mountain that appears most frequently in history and novels.
Ancient emperors even considered it an honor to be able to perform Fengshan here.
The God of Mount Tai is the Great Emperor of Dongyue. It is rumored that he is also in charge of some ghost matters. After all, the gate to the underworld is not far from here.
Therefore, Mount Tai has always been considered the final resting place of human souls after death.
The ancients also believed that this place could connect people with heaven.
Lu Li was fortunate enough to be here this time and was very excited.
After walking around Mount Tai, I saw that the Taoist temples here were very popular.
The entire Mount Tai is shrouded in good fortune.
No wonder it is called the first of the Five Mountains.
It holds such a unique place in the hearts of emperors of every generation.
Lu Li couldn't even imagine how powerful Taishan God's cultivation was just based on this luck.
Because it is daytime now, the gate to the underworld has not yet appeared.
So Lu Li decided to wait here.
It was not until night fell that Lu Li opened his eyes and exited his cultivation state.
We flew to a small hill, which was Haoli Mountain.
Even though it is only a hundred meters, the gate to the underworld appears here.
As the night deepened, it became pitch dark around us.
Lu Li could only open his third eye, and soon he saw the space in front of him began to distort.
Gradually, an ancient and solemn door appeared here out of nowhere.
Then the door opened, and two rows of ghost soldiers wearing clothes with the word "Ming" on them walked out and stood by the door.
Then two Yin generals, one with an ox head and the other with a horse face, slowly walked out.
They should be the gatekeepers, Lu Li thought.
Soon, groups of ghosts were escorted over by the soul-catchers.
After taking out the token of the underworld, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons let them in.
When he saw the token, Lu Li thought of the token that Bai Shisan had given him.
He didn't use it immediately, but wanted to try whether he could get in first.
In fact, before coming here, Master Qin also told me how to communicate with the ancestors in the underworld.
But after all, he was not familiar with the place, and Lu Li didn't want to go through so much trouble.
When Lu Li arrived at the door, several ghost soldiers stretched out their weapons to stop Lu Li.
"This is the gate to the underworld! No one is allowed to enter without permission! Violators will be severely punished!"
"I am a Taoist priest from Mount Mao. I came to the underworld today to handle important matters. I hope you can help me."
"Oh? So you are a fellow Taoist from Maoshan Sect.
But rules are rules. Even for Taoists, it is not easy to enter the underworld."
The one who answered was Niu Tou, the famous Yin general in the underworld, with a light flickering in his big copper bell-like eyes.
"Is there no other way?" Lu Li frowned.
Niutou shook his head and said firmly:
“Unless you have cultivated to the Golden Core Stage, you can use your strong body to resist the erosion of the Yin Qi of the underworld.
Furthermore, one can only enter if he has a good friend in the underworld to act as a guarantor.
Otherwise, anyone who attempts to enter the underworld will be severely punished."
Lu Li knew that these regulations were also meant to maintain the balance and order between the Yin and Yang worlds.
So there was no impulse action.
Niu Tou saw that Lu Li was not here to cause trouble and his attitude softened a little. He said:
“My fellow Taoist, the gate to the underworld cannot be opened lightly.
If you really have urgent business, you can wait here if there are any Maoshan ancestors coming back with business.
You can follow in.”
The fact that he could say so much to Lu Li shows that this Yin Jiang Niu Tou is indeed a good person.
"Thank you General Yin for telling me. I will inform my friend right away."
Lu Li thanked him and turned around to take out the token given by Bai Shisan.
After a while, a smaller door appeared and Bai Shisan walked out with a smile.
"Master Lu, we meet again."
"I'm going to trouble Brother Bai again this time."
Lu Li bowed and smiled.
"Hey! Why are we being so polite to each other? I wonder what Master Lu is doing this time..."
It turned out that Bai Shisan discovered that Lu Li was outside the gate of the underworld.
“I’m going to the underworld to do some things, and when I got here I found that I needed someone to introduce me.
I didn't want to trouble you, but the rules are hard to break, so I have to come to you in the end."
Instead of looking for those ancestors in Maoshan, it would be more convenient to look for Bai Shisan.
After all, they had dealt with each other before.
"I thought it was something, it's easy, leave it to me."
Bai Shisan waved his hand proudly and walked towards the Ox-Head and Horse-Face in front of the door.
Lu Li saw them chatting and laughing for a while, and then Bai Shisan waved to Lu Li and asked him to come over.
“This is my friend, Elder Lu Li from Mount Mao, he has already reached the Golden Core Stage.
Brother Niu and Brother Ma, please be flexible. "
After Bai Shisan finished speaking, he tugged at Lu Li's sleeve.
Lu Li understood instantly and stuffed a few ghost money into Bai Shisan's hand.
"We are all family. Don't worry. Taoist Lu is not someone who likes to cause trouble."
Bai Shisan patted Niutou and put the ghost money into his arms.
"Since we are all one family, then go in. Here is the token.
When you are done, input mana into it and you will be teleported out.
There are many powerful people in the underworld, so don't cause trouble easily.
I suggest that you look for your Maoshan ancestors after you go in.
After all, your body is very popular in the eyes of many ghosts. "
After giving his instructions, Niu Tou handed Lu Li a bronze token.
"Thank you, General Yin, for letting me know."
Niu Tou raised his hand and sent a stream of Yin energy towards the dark gate of the underworld.
Then the door slowly opened. This time, when Lu Li stood in front of the door, he felt that the yin energy nearby suddenly became stronger.
Breathing became difficult.
“This is the environment in the underworld, and this is why Big Brother Niutou doesn’t let you cause any trouble.
The underworld is full of yin energy, and you won’t be able to replenish your spiritual energy by fighting with others.”
Bai Shisan reminded softly.
He didn't know Lu Li's physique, but Lu Li himself knew it.
He was born with a Taoist body and would be able to thrive in the underworld just like a fish in water.
After entering the gate, the sky in front of Lu Li began to turn gray.
All those stars disappeared, and the surroundings were all dark.
The road was filled with gloomy air and dead trees.
From time to time, a team of ghosts and monsters would pass by them.
