Chapter 217: The Soul Lamp in the Underworld, an Unexpected Path to Advancement (5.4k)

After one sentence, all the colors disappeared, and all the pictures turned into smoke and dust, and went away with the wind.

The little Taoist priest was gone, leaving only a Taoist priest, who stretched out a hand with tears streaming down his face, trying to grab everything.

The Taoist priest's face was covered with tears, and he looked at Wen Yan with pleading in his eyes.

"I beg you, can you let me take another look, just one look..."

Wen Yan didn't say anything, and the Taoist priest continued.

"Don't you want my answer?

I can answer you now, the person I'm reading has nothing to do with you.

That statue is not her, it's definitely not her.

Can I take another look?"

Before the Taoist priest finished speaking, the light here seemed to be running out and became dim.

The dim world was full of death and coldness. Even if there were still colors here, they still seemed to be fading.

The Taoist priest, who had taken off his Taoist robe, sat in front of the bed, and thunder and rain were shining outside the window.

The woman on the bed, her lips were bloodless and her face was as white as paper. She looked at the man next to her and muttered to herself.

"Little Taoist priest, I actually lied to you that time.

I thought about it for several years and only came up with that idea when I was watching the news.

There is really crab roe in that crab roe tofu.

You were lied to by me, but I am still smarter than you.

Don't worry about additives all the time. There are no additives like the ones you eat.

You have to eat well, supplement protein, and don't always eat vegetarian food.

Now... I am not sick, I am just... just a genius.

I just learned what you said about the Yin Shen leaving the body, and I want to go find my grandma.

I will learn from her how to make crab roe tofu taste like you have eaten it."

The long-haired man sat by the bed, choking silently. His expression looked like he was crying, but also like he was trying to laugh.

As she spoke, the woman lost her voice.

The whole world began to collapse towards the center, and the black, white and gray world was drowning the only little color in the center.

Until the woman lying on the hospital bed also merged into the world of black and white, the whole world collapsed.

In the darkness, everything gradually dissipated, and the Taoist was already kneeling on the ground, choking with pain.

After a long time, Wen Yan took a deep breath.

"Just as I thought, the person you are thinking of can never be a god or ghost.

In fact, you have known it for a long time, right?

You just kept holding on to that little hope that you didn't have, and didn't dare to have any doubts at all.

You should know that it is impossible to achieve your goal with the help of that god or ghost.

Or, have you been lost for a long time?"

The Taoist knelt on the ground, touching the ground with his head, and his body trembled constantly because of sobbing.

He broke the defense.

Wen Yan's mouth cannon failed to break his defense, but with the huge amount of yang energy accumulated by the violent sun, it was added to the retrospect, and the once beautiful, the place deep in the Taoist's heart, where there was still color, pierced him directly from the inside.

He was completely unable to resist.

Now even his belief in coming here to do something has collapsed.

The most beautiful colors turned into dead silence in an instant. Wen Yan, as an outsider, felt a sense of suffocation just by witnessing this scene, let alone the Taoist.

The Taoist tried to hold back and choked, but slowly, he could no longer hold back. His heart collapsed, his faith was destroyed, and he found a little of his former self.

He began to cry loudly, and his breath was full of despair and regret.

The bad luck and bad luck on the Taoist began to gradually dissipate, and his strength also began to dissipate.

Wen Yan lowered his eyes and said nothing. After hesitating for a long time, he still changed to the second temporary ability. He didn't know whether he was talking to the Taoist or talking to himself.

"Since you have done something, do it to the best of your ability.

I said that I did not kill the person you are thinking of. You should believe it now.

That god-like ghost died under the most blazing sun and has disappeared.

But the person you are thinking of should still be in a corner that no one knows and cannot be found.

I am not doing this because of you. You can't pay for your sins even if you die a hundred times.

I just feel sorry for the little Taoist priest and the girl.

What you did before has tarnished that beauty."

Wen Yan changed to summon the soul.

That girl must not have appeared as a ghost in the world. If she did, the Taoist priest would not have known about it.

Then, there is a high probability that she will be in this endless underworld.

Since you have a temporary ability, you might as well use it and accumulate some experience. Wen Yan found a random reason to persuade himself.

Because he felt that even at this point, the matter was still not perfectly resolved.

He continued to bless Yang Qi, accumulating it with the violent sun, recalling the appearance of the girl in his mind, and then performing the summoning of the soul.

The next moment, a nine-story altar rose up under his feet, and behind him, the shadow of the soul-calling banner swayed gently.

A road formed by the light of the sun extended all the way from under the altar.

Wherever the light passed, countless ghosts in the underworld were squeezed to the sides.

In the air, it seemed that many people were chanting in a low voice, and the unclear voices gathered into calls.

The Taoist's sobbing sound spread far and wide on the light road.

Wen Yan stood on the altar shadow and looked into the distance. His eyes followed the light road and extended to an unknown distance.

Finally, among a group of Ah Piao, he saw an ordinary female Ah Piao who was no different from those around her and had no consciousness. She was the person he was looking for.

The light path extended to his feet. At that moment, the unknown length of the light path seemed to be shortened to the extreme in an instant, and this female Ah Piao seemed to appear in front of everyone.

Wen Yan stretched out a finger to give blessings.

A ray of color appeared on the gray Ah Piao, and her consciousness, which had dissipated into the underworld over time, began to recover a little.

The female Ah Piao looked at the Taoist on the ground and shouted tentatively.

"Little Taoist priest?"

The Taoist raised his head instantly, but then stretched out his sleeves to cover his appearance.

"Little Taoist priest?" Female Ah Piao wanted to take a step, but after she took a step, she was still spinning in circles.

"My strength is limited. When I actually recruit you, it will take too much time. By that time, he must be dead. He said that I killed you and wants to take revenge from me. I can only let you come forward. Let’s explain.”

After saying this, Wen Yan closed his mouth.

Believe it or not, but Wen Yan believes even more in this undisputed evidence.

In the past, he would have been too lazy to do this kind of work of proving his innocence, but now, he just wants to solve this matter completely and perfectly.

He is not afraid of bad luck, but like Pei Tugou, he is also afraid of affecting the people around him.

The female Ah Piao stood there with a smile, and there was a bit of surprise in her smile as if she suddenly picked up money.

The Taoist stretched out his arms and covered his face with his big sleeves, not daring to look or let the female Ah Piao see him.

"I can feel that I don't have much time. Are you really unwilling to look at me?

Little Taoist priest, if you don’t look at me, I will leave. "

After the female Ah Piao said this, she stopped speaking.

In just one second, the Taoist raised his head in panic, revealing a face that had been through many vicissitudes of life, with tears on his face, red and swollen eyes, and stains.

When the female Ah Piao saw him like this, she burst out laughing. When she laughed, except for a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she was exactly the same as what she had just seen.

"Why don't you wash your face when I'm gone? Look at your neck, it's as black as a car axle."

The Taoist stretched out his hand nervously and wiped it on his neck. The squirming look was like the first time he accidentally touched the girl's hand when he was a teenager. Every muscle in his body seemed to be exerting force. But it happened to be extremely stiff.

When the Taoist saw the charming smile of the female Ah Piao, he could no longer bear it. The last thoughts in his heart were shattered. With tears in his eyes, he walked step by step to the female Ah Piao.

"sorry……"

"Why are you saying sorry? No matter when, you will never be sorry to me."

The more A Piao said this, the more regret in the Taoist's heart kept rolling, like a landslide, unstoppable.

He began to truly agree with what Wen Yan said.

He tarnished his former self and the people he missed, and he also left a stain on their emotions.

"I've been missing you for a long time, but I can't find you..."

"I've always been in your heart, why are you looking for me?"

"I did a lot of wrong things."

"If you do something wrong, you must take responsibility for it."

Wen Yan closed his eyes and stopped listening or looking.

After waiting for two minutes, he opened his eyes and looked at the two Ah Piao, half ghost, who seemed to have endless words to say.

"The time is up. My strength is limited and I can't hold on any longer."

A halo of light began to appear at the feet of the female Ah Piao, which was the light path that was about to unfold.

The female Ah Piao glanced at the Taoist with some reluctance. The Taoist still wanted to reach out and grab it, but his hand seemed to never be able to touch it, always just a little bit away.

The female Ah Piao looked at the Taoist and suddenly showed a sly smile.

"Little Taoist priest, do you think there was crab roe in the crab roe tofu I gave you that year?"

After leaving the last sentence, the light path expanded again, or in other words, the light path that extended to the feet of the female Ah Piao began to shrink.

The light path returned to the shadow of the altar, and the shadow of the altar and the soul-calling flag disappeared.

The Taoist looked back at the way those countless Ah Piao came, then turned to look at Wen Yan. He knelt on the ground calmly and kowtowed heavily.

"Thank you.

I can't undo the consequences that have been caused, so I can only make some amends to atone for my sins. "

"The one you owe the most is not me."

"I know. The last question I want to ask is, is she still on the road to death?"

"Yes, very far away."

"Then she will pass by here one day, right?"

"I'm not sure. If it hasn't dissipated, it probably is."

The Taoist kowtowed and then came to the roadside of the underworld.

He made a seal with his hands and stamped his foot. His foot seemed to turn into wood and took root on the roadside.

The bad luck on his body was still dissipating, and his strength was still dissipating, but at this moment, he seemed to be even more powerful than at his peak.

"Don't you think there are no street lights here? I will give you a street light to thank you for killing my talisman.

My sins are so great that one death is no longer enough.

Please allow me to atone for my sins here. "

Wen Yan was silent for a long time. Of course he knew that the Taoist wanted to see the female Ah Piao again one day.

Seeing that Wen Yan didn't say anything, the Taoist thanked him.

Then he made a seal with his hands and shouted in a deep voice. He opened his mouth slightly, and the five-colored thread in his abdomen twisted into a strand, and flew out of his mouth a little.

He ignited it with the remaining yang energy, and the dissipated moldy air seemed to become lamp oil that supported the burning, and it burst into a faint green light, illuminating the road here.

From all directions, there were still wisps of moldy air gathering and turning into lamp oil, which was burned by it.

The body of the Taoist gradually turned into wood, turning into a wooden sculpture with a bit of horror. Standing in place, he raised his head slightly, opened his mouth, and the five-colored rope in his mouth turned into a wick, using the moldy air on his body and the moldy air absorbed from all directions as lamp oil.

Wen Yan felt it, and a little moldy air flew out of his body, turned into lamp oil, was burned, and turned into a faint green light that illuminated the underworld.

And there were other people flying from other places.

Wen Yan looked at this scene, sighed, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Pei Tugou followed him back, but when he turned around, he could not see anything. Everything he had just seen seemed to disappear, and the road also disappeared. He was lost.

Wen Yan stretched out a hand and put it on his shoulder, and Pei Tugou saw the road again.

"What's going on?"

"You can't go back here, you'll get lost, it's a natural ghost wall."

"I'm asking that guy, is that all?"

"He was afraid that I wouldn't agree so he asked him to wait here.

So he turned into a lamp, forever guarding the underworld, and the wick was his soul.

He is indeed very talented. I don't know how he reversed the secret method without the talisman.

He is now like a huge magnet, sucking other people's bad luck as iron filings and burning it.

This process is his soul, which is constantly burning with flames.

He can't die, but he can't live either.

Once he takes this step, there will be no room for regret.

If you think this is not enough, then go and kill him and let him be free."

"..." Pei Tugou stopped talking. What's the point of killing?

What happened this time has made him feel that killing can't solve the problem.

And now, he rarely wants to kill.

Looking at the human-shaped wooden sculpture standing by the road, Pei Tugou shook his head.

"Is it really worth it? He can't live or die like this, and suffers torture every day, just to see him again?"

"I didn't make him like this, how could I be such a cruel person?"

"You are the cruelest, you are much crueler than me."

Pei Tugou sighed. He was so fierce, but the Taoist didn't show any fear from beginning to end. For a person who was not afraid of death, he would at most hang people to death.

Unlike Wen Yan, he didn't even understand what happened, and the Taoist suddenly started crying and was almost slapping himself and saying that he deserved to die.

No, this was much crueler than slapping himself and saying that he deserved to die, and directly turned himself into a street lamp.

I don't know how Wen Yan did it, to force a person who was not afraid of death to this extent.

"It's not that I'm cruel, it's these ghosts who have too deep obsessions.

He has become a half-ghost, and his obsession is deeper than that of ordinary ghosts.

When he is cruel, he is really inhuman and doesn't care about anything.

When he feels remorse, that last obsession can support him to do anything.

He is like this, what else can I say?"

Wen Yan sent Pei Tugou to the basement of Lao Zhao's house. He thought about it and came to the underworld again.

It happened that the temporary ability to summon souls was still there, so he wanted to take the opportunity to do something.

When he came to the underworld and looked at the faint green light on the underworld, well, this ghost place, this kind of moldy burning light is really suitable for the scene.

He stood on the underworld, accumulating yang energy with the violent sun, accumulating energy to the limit, and recalling the image of his grandmother in his mind, he performed the soul summoning.

The altar phantom and the soul-calling flag appeared again, but this time, the light path did not unfold. After the altar flickered for a moment, it collapsed together with the soul-calling flag and disappeared without a trace.

Wen Yan was stunned.

He had sensed clearly just now that the altar and the soul-calling banners had collapsed, which did not mean that he could not call back souls.

Rather, his soul-calling ability, even if he accumulated energy and exploded, was not qualified to call back his grandmother.

Wen Yan did not try a second time.

He took a last look at the human-shaped wooden street lamp on the side of the road.

Pei Tugou probably didn't like this kind of street lamp very much, because it couldn't even hang people.

Forget it, I'll buy two street lamps and add them to the intersection as decoration.

The only problem is how to operate the street lamp.

"You made your own choice, so I wish you see her again one day, and then you can really touch each other."

After leaving the last sentence, Wen Yan turned and left.

When he walked out of the old Zhao's villa, a new prompt appeared in front of him.

"You let a half-ghost willingly use the last secret method to devour himself.

He is willing to stay in the underworld forever, absorbing the bad luck of those he hurt and their descendants.

He turned into the first lamp in the underworld, a lamp transformed by a ghost, illuminating the road.

And he did all this willingly."

"Because you completed the event beyond the limit and pushed forward something that should not have happened beyond the limit."

"Get a new title: the natural enemy of ghosts and gods."

"Wearing this title will give you 100% suppression, 100% true damage, and 100% immunity to ghosts and gods.

20% chance to trigger the Soul Lamp of the Underworld (can seal a ghost and god and turn it into a Soul Lamp of the Underworld)."

"This title has the ability to summon souls."

Wen Yan took a breath and knew that the results would be completely different if he chose to solve the problem simply and violently, or completely solve a problem or an enemy.

He had never thought that there would be a new title, and it was an obviously powerful new title.

Only ghosts who are strong to a certain extent and have completed a certain transformation, or have completed more than one job transfer, and a specific profession, are qualified to be called ghosts and gods.

According to the prompt, Wen Yan estimated that now is only the initial stage of the second stage of the spiritual energy recovery.

The Soul Lamp of the Underworld transformed by ghosts and gods should never appear at this stage.

A half-ghost is still a ghost. Under normal circumstances, this kind of guy will only become like this when he is sealed. Under normal circumstances, how can he take the initiative to become a soul lamp in the underworld and take the initiative to suffer such a punishment.

Wen Yan thought that this was the end.

Unexpectedly, he also saw that the water official scroll on the back of his right hand began to glow and began to show some changes.

A new prompt appeared.

"Your intention and actions are highly consistent with this talisman.

There is more than one way to practice.

There is more than one way for a person to practice Taoism.

You have no soul and cannot practice Taoism, but it does not affect you at all. You hold the talisman.

You have relieved countless ghosts from the disaster of no light, and you have relieved countless people from the disaster of bad luck.

You have found the way to advance to the Water Official Talisman for Eliminating Disasters without entering Taoism.

The way to eliminate disasters is not to kill or block, but to resolve them."

"Water Official Talisman for Eliminating Disasters, get an additional 20% progress."

"Current progress: 20%"

Wen Yan looked at his right hand. The appearance of the Water Official Talisman for Eliminating Disasters became more complicated, and there were even more water patterns on the edge.

He had always thought that there was no such thing as progress for this talisman...

Who would have thought that he could not practice Taoism, but could advance progress on the talisman.
