Chapter 30: The Netherworld

Li Chuyi, with a bruised face, looked helpless.

There was nothing he could do. He was so busy running that he left the Taoist's body outside.

If the Taoist was not so abnormal, his body would have been only slightly damaged by the black fog without any protection. If it was another cultivator's body, it would have been completely destroyed.

The Taoist could understand that he was anxious to escape, but this was not the main reason why Li Chuyi was beaten. Li Chuyi was beaten because when he and the Taoist found the Taoist's body that was shaken to the corner by the aftermath, the Taoist's body was naked...

The Taoist's body was strong enough, but his clothes were not as strong as his body. Under the corrosion of the black fog, there was no ash left.

Therefore, the Taoist's soul returned to his body. After putting on his clothes at a speed that seemed to be a few points faster than when he beat Hei Wumian just now, the first thing he did was to grab Li Chuyi, who was smiling flatteringly, and beat him up.

The Taoist priest used a lot of Taoist magic, including fists, feet, ice, fire, lightning, etc., to beat Li Chuyi, leaving him with a swollen nose and face, ragged clothes, and frizzy hair. He looked miserable, but he was not injured at all.

Li Chuyi did not dare to fight back at all. If he fought back, he would definitely not be able to beat the Taoist priest. Moreover, if the Taoist priest's anger was not completely eliminated, he would probably be even more miserable than he is now.

After venting his anger, the Taoist priest secretly glanced at Ziyuan on the side. Seeing Ziyuan's eyes looking at her nose, nose looking at her mouth, and mouth looking at her heart, his old face turned red and he coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Damn it, my reputation has been ruined by this kid!"

The Taoist priest became more and more angry as he thought about it, and could not help but beat Li Chuyi a few more times.

Ziyuan watched Li Chuyi being beaten on the side, and felt very comfortable. After being tortured by Li Chuyi's words for so many days, someone finally gave her a sigh of relief. But seeing that the master and disciple seemed to be going on for an endless period of time, Zi Yuan knew that if she didn't say something, the Taoist priest would probably not stop for a while.

Sighing inwardly, Zi Yuan said, "Senior, if you don't stop, the Five Goats Tomb will probably be closed, and we will all be trapped here."

The Taoist priest stopped after hearing this, coughed, and said, "Ahem, that's right, it's important to do business first."

After saying that, the Taoist priest looked at Li Chuyi, who was lying on the ground with his head in his hands and his face covered, and said with a confused look on his face, "Hey, little brat, what are you doing lying on the ground? Are you sleepy? The ground is so dirty, be careful not to catch a cold, get up quickly."

Li Chuyi climbed up, looked at the Taoist priest's blank face with a pair of cold eyes, and immediately understood, and quickly cooperated and said, "Master, , I felt a little itchy just now, so I rubbed it on the ground. " "Just rub it, why are you using so much strength? Look, your face is swollen."

"It's okay, Master, I have thick skin, and I can't rub it through without rubbing it harder. It's just a minor injury, it's not a big deal."

"You are hurt, but I feel pain in my heart! Disciple, next time you feel itchy, you must tell Master, and I will help you scratch it, it's better than rubbing it yourself!"

"Got it, Master, next time this happens, I will tell you. Master, you are so good to me!"

The Taoist smiled and nodded when he heard it, and said nothing more. Li Chuyi looked at the Taoist's face carefully, knowing that the matter was over. Touching his swollen face, he felt helpless. People are under the eaves!

Zi Yuan saw the double act sung by the two and rolled her eyes secretly.

"By the way, Master, have you found the Ghost Scripture upstairs?"

The Taoist priest stretched out his hand upon hearing this, and a dark gray paper book appeared in his hand.

"Is this the Ghost Scripture?" Li Chuyi looked at it curiously.

"No." The Taoist priest shook his head, "I thought the Ghost Scripture was hidden on the fifth floor, but after going up, I found that there was indeed a book hidden on the fifth floor, but it was not the Ghost Scripture, but this Netherworld Book."

"The Netherworld Book?"

"Yes, it is this Netherworld Book."

The Taoist priest nodded, looked at Zi Yuan and said, "I originally wanted to pick a good ghost cultivation method for you and the five little ghosts downstairs later. Now that you have this Netherworld Book, you don't have to pick those ordinary ones anymore."

Zi Yuan looked at the Taoist priest in surprise and asked, "Is this Netherworld Book better than the ones downstairs?"

"More than good!"

The Taoist priest smiled slightly.

"This Netherworld Book is one of the most sacred books of the Ghost Path. It is said to have been created by a Ghost King who had studied the Ghost Scripture to a very high level countless years ago. Although it is not as good as the Ghost Scripture, the most precious book of the Ghost Path, it is only slightly inferior."

Seeing the surprise on Zi Yuan and Li Chuyi's faces, the Taoist priest laughed and continued, "The "Netherworld Secret" practiced by many ghost cultivators in the world is derived from this book. Many years ago, the "Netherworld Book" suddenly disappeared, and many ghost cultivators could not find it, which was a pity. Later, several ghost cultivators who had the honor of seeing this book united together and created a unique ghost skill, the "Netherworld Secret", based on their memories and their own understanding. These ghost cultivators founded the Netherworld School with the "Netherworld Secret", which was once a powerful force that dominated one side. But later, the war between the good and evil started, which affected the Netherworld, and the Netherworld was united by the righteous people. The Netherworld Art was destroyed and the family was exterminated. The Netherworld Art was leaked when the Netherworld Dao fell into chaos and has been scattered in the rivers and lakes since then. Later, the Netherworld Art was snatched by several forces and split into several copies. Because it was incomplete, it became a common item. Now many ghost cultivators practice the Netherworld Art, which is these fragments, so it is not powerful and is considered a low-level art among ghost cultivators. "

Li Chuyi sniffed, looked at the gray book in the Taoist's hand, and asked a little stutteringly: "So, this Netherworld Book is the ancestor of the Netherworld Art?"

"Of course!" The Taoist rolled his eyes at him.

"So this Netherworld Book is a top-notch technique?"

The Taoist looked at Li Chuyi with disdain: "Top-notch? Not even worthy of carrying shoes! This book is derived from the Ghost Scripture. The Ghost King who created this technique is so extraordinary that he would dare to fight even the Immortal King or the God Emperor from heaven. What level do you think the technique he created is? This is a supreme treasure! Do you understand supreme treasure?! Supreme treasure!"

Li Chu kept staring at the Netherworld Book after scratching his ears that were itchy from the Taoist's shouting, muttering to himself: "The ghost supreme treasure, how much is it worth! Ten thousand taels of gold may not be enough!"

The Taoist was too lazy to even roll his eyes and didn't even want to look at him.

Turning his head to look at Zi Yuan who was also shocked and confused, the Taoist smiled and said: "Girl Zi Yuan, you are really lucky! I thought that the Ghost Scripture was hidden upstairs, but who would have thought that it was the long-lost Netherworld Book. The Ghost Scripture is good, but it is too profound for you. It is more for ghosts to understand the Tao, rather than practicing the law. This Netherworld Book is different. This is a skill created by the Supreme Ghost King. It is from the simple to the complex, which is very suitable for your ghost practice. Take it well, study it well with the five little ghosts, and maybe you can become a generation of ghost supreme in the future, and live up to the wisdom of this peerless skill!" After saying that, his hand trembled slightly, and the Netherworld Book floated from the Taoist's hand to Zi Yuan. Zi Yuan subconsciously reached out and took the Netherworld Book. She stared at it for a long time and said hesitantly, "Senior, this is too precious, and you have gone through many dangers to get it. I dare not accept it. I'd better give it to you!"

"Precious shit!" The Taoist waved his hand, "This technique can only be practiced by ghosts. It is useless to me as a human. What's the use of it? Besides, you are now following my master and disciple, so you are naturally one of us. Who else should I give it to? Besides you, there are five little ghosts. Those five little kids are still unstable and their ghost bodies are not solid. I originally wanted to find some better ghost techniques for them to practice. Now that you have this ghost scripture, if you don't practice it, do you still want to practice those low-level ghost techniques?"

Zi Yuan was silent for a while after hearing this, then bowed and saluted, and said gratefully, "In this case, Zi Yuan will thank you for your kindness on behalf of myself and the five little ghosts!"

The Taoist nodded with a smile.

"Master, can I practice this technique?" Li Chuyi suddenly asked.

"Yes, you can practice it if you commit suicide and turn into a ghost, or if you sacrifice yourself to become a living dead!"

After a careful comparison, Li Chuyi felt that it was better to be alive. If he died and turned into a ghost, he would not be able to eat meat, so he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Seeing Li Chuyi's ugly face, the Taoist rolled his eyes. After a little thought, the Taoist priest said hesitantly: "It's not that you really can't practice. There may be a chance in the future. You can practice this method even if you don't die."

Li Chuyi's eyes lit up immediately: "Really? How can I do it?"

The Taoist priest looked at Li Chuyi, hesitated for a long time, and said: "The time has not come yet. When the time comes, you will know it in the future! Besides, didn't I teach you a set of exercises? Let me tell you, the things I taught you, how many people outside want to learn but can't learn them! You haven't even finished the bowl, and you're still thinking about the pot?"

"Master, what you taught me, except for strengthening the body and being useful to you to subdue demons and catch ghosts, I really don't think there is anything powerful about it!"

At the end, after thinking about it, he added: "Well, it can also resist the black fog. In addition to these three functions, Master, what else is there for it? It can't fly!"

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!

The Taoist priest patted Li Chuyi's head and angrily said, "Bullshit! You haven't practiced well enough, and you dare to say that the skills I taught you are not good?! Do you know that if what I taught you is leaked out, how many people will fight for it? Believe it or not? Besides, who said you can't fly? You can't even run, and you still want to fly? Aren't you afraid of falling to death!"

Li Chuyi held his head, feeling helpless. Who made him talk too much? The Taoist priest cultivated a good habit of eating from the bowl and looking at the pot since he was a child. He asked a question, and now his head is about to become a wooden fish.

After knocking for a long time, the Taoist priest finally stopped, as if he was tired. After a long silence, the Taoist priest muttered to himself: "It's true that this child may be able to cultivate the "Netherworld Book" in the future, as long as..."

"Master, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly." Li Chuyi asked, rubbing his head.

"Nothing, it has nothing to do with you." The Taoist priest waved his hand and stopped.

Turning his head to look at Ziyuan, who was looking happy, the Taoist priest said solemnly: "Ziyuan, you know how valuable this "Netherworld Book" is. Remember, don't leak it out!"

"Yes, senior, Ziyuan will keep this matter strictly and will also tell the five little ghosts."

The Taoist priest nodded, looked around again, waved his hand and said: "The matter here is over, let's go. If we go out now, we may see the silly geese fighting."

After that, he walked downstairs.

Ziyuan and Li Chuyi hurried to catch up. After being trapped here for three days, the two of them were already a little impatient. Especially Li Chuyi, who hadn't eaten meat for two days and was almost suffocating. Now that he could finally leave, he was overjoyed.

"Should I eat a chicken leg first? Or a duck neck first? But I don't want to miss the elbow! Oh~~ Life is so tangled when you are hungry!"
