Chapter 381 Xiao Yun

Inside the Golden Wheel Hall, there were many ghosts and shadows, and the crowds were densely packed, making it more than ten times more lively than usual.

However, she heard a crackling sound as the ghostly yam returned to the temple, followed by a string of wandering souls that had just been lured from the human world. She wiped the sweat from her head and saw the ghosts and ghosts around her, and couldn't help but sigh:

"I'm exhausted... The decree on Yangshou trade has just been promulgated, and there are so many wandering souls today. I'm afraid there won't be enough ghosts in the palace."

Behind the team, a man's soul suddenly said: "If ghosts are not enough, I also want to do my part. Please tell me, what can I do to become a ghost like you?"

Yam Yao glanced at him: "If you want to become a seducer, you need to meet the conditions. If you have poor conduct during your lifetime, you will not be able to be a seducer and can only do ordinary chores in the palace. If you have done something extremely sinful during your lifetime, , He can’t even do chores and can only be punished by being put in a frying pan.”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several ghosts behind the team suddenly changed, and they glanced around guiltily, as if they were looking for a chance to escape.

The man looked calm and soon came to the Document Hall with the ghosts, where his life was reviewed by the cold-faced Judge Xie in green.

"Xiao Yun, my mother is about to die, so she gave all her life and body to her, and died at the end of her life. During her lifetime, she performed filial piety and performed meritorious deeds, and received five hundred yin virtues. I can't tell that you are a very filial son."

Judge Xie glanced at the broken page in his hand, which recorded the life experience of this wandering soul, which could be described as extremely filial.

"I heard that you want to become a seducer? Based on your life experience, you are qualified for the position of seducer. Go to the side hall to get the ghost order and the remaining pages of the book of life and death. From now on, you will be a member of the Golden Wheel Hall. , there will be other ghosts who will teach you how to do it."

Xiao Yun left as he was told.

The text on the remaining pages disappeared, and Judge Xie couldn't help but yawn. She didn't know when the expansion of the Wenxin Nourishing Spring would end. She couldn't help it, and wanted to go to the expanded Wenxin Nourishing Spring. Have a great time.

After leaving the Document Hall, Xiao Yun quickly got everything he needed to become a seductress in the side hall.

He was holding a dark and tattered token with the word "cloud" engraved on it. This token was the proof that he was a seductress and a symbol of his identity.

"The master of the palace has opened up the two techniques of soul-breaking arrow and soul-binding rope to every seductress. You can learn them for free. Now you only need 30,000 Yin De to master these two techniques quickly. If you want Quick seducers, write your names here."

Outside the side hall, a ten-foot-tall red demon walked slowly, exuding a powerful aura that drove people away.

"Judge Li, what if I don't have enough virtue?"

"That's right, I just became a seducer, so I can't show the 30,000 yin virtues at all."

The red demon ghost said in a loud voice: "It doesn't matter if it's not enough. You can owe it first. Later, when you gain Yin De, the debt will be deducted directly to repay the debt, but some interest will be added."

As soon as they heard that there was such a good thing, it could be achieved quickly without having to spend many years of hard work. Many ghosts enthusiastically registered and wrote their names on the remaining pages. Xiao Yun was one of them.

After the registration was completed, Judge Li gathered up the remaining pages one by one to make a roster. He soon arrived outside the Wenxin Soul Nourishing Spring and handed the roster to Palace Master Ye, who was meditating here.

Ye Jie absently took the roster, imported all the information in the roster into the seven-sided stitched page, and modified the files on it in batches. He modified hundreds of files in an instant, which was much faster than changing them one by one by himself.

At this time, Nan Linghe also came outside the soul-raising spring and looked at Ye Jie curiously: "Brother Jie, why did you ask me to come here?"

Memories of that day came to mind. Nan Linghe pursed his lips, looking at him with gleaming eyes, shyly and with a bit of expectation.

Ye Jie pointed to the bamboo forest in the distance: "I am expanding the Warm Heart Nourishing Soul Spring, and I found that the bamboo forest can also be replaced by other types of trees. The effect of the bamboo forest is to use the power of the Soul Nourishing Spring itself to connect all perceptions with The line of sight is isolated and cannot be broken through by ordinary means. Even if the bamboo forest is replaced by other trees, it will not affect anything except the beauty, so I want to ask for your opinion. "

After a pause, Ye Jie asked: "What kind of trees do you want to surround the Soul-raising Spring? Brilliant peach trees, fiery maples, or soft cherry trees? Just imagine that when the expansion of the Soul-raising Spring is completed, the cherry trees will Swaying, there is a sea of ​​pink flowers all around, and when the wind blows, it is a grand rain of flowers. Isn’t it beautiful to nourish the soul and enjoy the cherry blossoms at the same time? "

Nan Linghe had no interest in replacing the bamboo forest at first, but was a little disappointed. Did Ye Jie come to him just to ask these questions? As he was talking, he was suddenly moved by his words, and the beautiful scenery of falling cherry blossoms appeared in his mind. His bright eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with some hesitation:

"I...I like reed..."

"Reeds?" Ye Jie was a little surprised. In any case, reeds are very common, and they sound a bit weaker than other rare trees. They don't have that intoxicating artistic conception.

Nan Linghe nodded, seeming to hear Ye Jie's doubts, and his voice became softer: "When I was a child, there was a reed field next to my house. I always went there to play. Later, when my natural talent was discovered, I There is no chance anymore... Even if it is not changed to reed, it doesn't matter, Brother Jie doesn't need to consider me..."

Ye Jie smiled and joked, "Since you like it, then reeds are fine. You should learn from Hua Xiaomei. If she were to choose, she would probably let me change it to a plum blossom forest without saying a word."

Ye Jie waved his hand, and the scenery outside the Soul-Nourishing Spring suddenly changed. The green bamboo forest withered in an instant, replaced by a whole piece of fluttering reeds.

The reeds were as tall as a person, and each reed was covered with delicate white fluff. When the wind blew, they rose and fell, like a white ocean. Being here was like being in a dreamy painting.

Nan Linghe was pleasantly surprised. This was exactly the reeds she remembered, even better than she remembered. She smiled, her eyes turned into a crescent, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, with an innocent and natural arc.

She walked forward quickly, trying to push aside the reeds to find out what was going on. But no matter what she did, there seemed to be an invisible force in front of her, which made her unable to exert her strength and unable to enter. She was so anxious that she felt wronged again and again.

Just as she was anxious, her hand was suddenly held by Ye Jie, and Ye Jie's slightly low and calm words came to her ears:

"The reeds are the same as the bamboo forest before, which can isolate outsiders from entering. Only those who I allow can enter. Now that the Warm Heart Soul-Nourishing Spring has been expanded, many roads have changed. Come with me, I will take you to find out what is going on."

In front of Ye Jie, the reeds separated the road, and the invisible barrier disappeared at some point. Looking along the road, you can still see the warm air rising, and the warm spring water is just ahead.

When her little hand was caught by Ye Jie, Nan Linghe's face was hot, and she secretly glanced at Ye Jie, with an indissoluble affection in her eyes. She held Ye Jie's hand and exerted force, and then entered with Ye Jie.

As the two walked in, the reeds closed again, and everything around them returned to its original state. When the wind blew, only the rustling sound of the reeds could be heard.

The human world.

Xiao Yun held his forehead hard, and felt his head swelling. He calmed down and felt it carefully, but found that it was knowledge that did not originally belong to him.

He stretched out his hand and concentrated it, and a small black arrow appeared in his palm. He seemed to be frightened and hurriedly dispersed the small arrow. After doing this several times, he confirmed that he really learned the skills of the soul-catching ghost.

"This is the soul-breaking arrow and soul-binding rope that Judge Li mentioned. Now I owe 30,000 Yin De, and I have to work hard to pay it back... But before that, I have to go back to the human world to see, I don’t know how my mother is now?"

Xiao Yun returned to the human world, but found that it was late at night. He didn’t see his mother or his body in the house, and he panicked immediately.

Thinking of his mother's last words before her death, asking him to bury her at the foot of Huaguo Mountain, he suddenly had an idea in his mind. He quickly took out the Earth-Shrinking Stone and moved around. Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure on a nearby trail.

The figure was skinny and helpless, with a heavy body on his hunched back. Looking carefully, it was his wrinkled mother, who was carrying his body left in the world.

Xiao Yun's body trembled violently. He stood in front of his mother, feeling extremely sad and full of emotion, but he found that his mother ignored him and continued to walk straight forward. This change made him stunned for a while.

"Yes... I'm dead now. How can I let my mother see me?"

Xiao Yun frowned. If he patted her and called her so abruptly, she couldn't see anyone, and she might be scared, which would be worse than now.

Just when Xiao Yun was worried, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a piece of yellow cloth covering his remains. Looking carefully, the yellow cloth clearly had a longevity character engraved on it. It was the longevity flag given by the immortal in the dream.

"It seems that the dream is true. With the longevity flag, I can freely trade my life span. Immortality is not a luxury..."

Xiao Yun was touched and took down the longevity flag. He held it in his hand. The noise he made startled his mother in front of him. She put down the body on her back, turned around, and looked surprised: "Yun'er, you...you are back from the underworld?"

Seeing that his mother saw him and the longevity flag had made a contribution again, Xiao Yun did not dare to neglect it and quickly replied: "Yes, mother, I have done a good job in filial piety and now I am a member of the Golden Wheel Hall. The ghost catcher. "

The two hugged and cried. At last, the old mother told him: "You can be a ghost catcher. You should thank God and Yama. They gave you this opportunity. You should respect God and be grateful. "

Xiao Yun nodded, but his eyes fell on the longevity flag in his hand. He sighed in his heart: "The way to longevity is in it. Mother, this time, you will live a long, long time!"

After burying the body with his mother, Xiao Yun sent his mother back to the house and asked her to wait at home. He turned around and went out. He targeted an elderly man in the village. His wife and children died at the hands of monsters. He was a widower who was alone. He was not decent on weekdays, stealing chickens and dogs, and everyone hated him. Even if he disappeared suddenly one day, no one would care. At most, he would become a topic of conversation after dinner, saying that there was one less scourge in the village.

The old man was in a dream when he was hit hard on the forehead. He screamed in pain and his face was covered with blood. He tried to open his sleepy eyes and look for the robber who broke into the house, but he only saw a big stone floating in the air, but no trace of people.

"Ghost... There is a ghost!"

Thinking of the horror rumors about the underworld, the old man was trembling with fear and ran away, but he was left with an opportunity. His fragile back of the head was hit hard, and he heard a bang and fainted.

Before he fainted, he seemed to hear a whisper from the underworld:

"My mother needs these years more than you do."

When the old man woke up again, he found himself lying in a dark cave, tied up with a black rope. No matter how he struggled, he could not move. The other end of the rope was in the hand of a man with an indifferent face.

The old man was terrified: "You...what do you want to do? I don't have much money. You should go to those wealthy families. You found the wrong person!"

"I don't want money, I want your life." Xiao Yun said coldly.

The old man was furious: "That's my life span, how can you snatch it!"

Xiao Yun just said: "I'm not snatching it, I'm asking you to give it to me. You can still live for twenty years, give me ten years, no, fifteen years, and you can be free."

The old man trembled all over, not knowing whether he was scared or angry: "Fifteen years? Then I can only live for five years?"

Xiao Yun didn't give him a chance to think, and the soul-breaking arrow in his hand was ready to go: "Die now, or live for five more years before dying, it's your choice!"

The old man's face changed several times. He knew that the ghost in front of him was serious. If he refused, he would only die. He had to say: "I'll give it...Isn't it okay if I give it..."

The longevity flag flashed with a faint light, and Xiao Yun nodded with satisfaction. The flag had an extra fifteen years of life span, which could be distributed to any living being.

After getting fifteen years of life, Xiao Yun still didn't want to let the old man go: "Give me another three years, then you can go!"

The old man was furious: "Didn't we agree on fifteen years? Why did you go back on your word? Give me another three years? I don't think you plan to let me go at all."

Xiao Yun's eyes darkened. He was plundering his life in order to make his mother live forever. Naturally, he would not let the old man go to avoid future troubles. Seeing that the old man would not hand over his life, he immediately condensed the soul-breaking arrow and completely crushed the old man's soul, leaving only a cold body.

Back home, the old mother leaned against the eaves of the door, dozing off while waiting for him to come back. Seeing him return, she was relieved.

Xiao Yun waved the longevity flag, and the fifteen years of life stored in it were all added to the old mother, allowing her to live another fifteen years.

Xiao Yun was beaming with joy, but saw his mother staring at him solemnly, admonishing him:

"Life span is fixed. If one person's life span increases, another person's life span will decrease. If you hadn't given me all your life span, you wouldn't have died. Tell me honestly, where did all this life span come from?"

Under his mother's insightful eyes, Xiao Yun felt a little guilty. His mother had always been upright and respectful to heaven and gods, and had never crossed the line. If she knew the origin of these life spans, what would happen? So he lied:

"I was appreciated by the judge in the palace, and this was a reward from the judge."

"So it was a reward from the judge, then you must thank the judge well, and you can't take these life spans for nothing." His mother believed his explanation, and seeing this, Xiao Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
