From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 351: Yin Yang Road and Five Thunder City

The karmic fire burned the ghost realm to ashes, turning the gods' evil, ghosts' grudges and the ghost realm into ashes, and in the end only a broken mask of the ghost mother remained.

This ghost mask is the foundation of the Ghost Kingdom and the foundation of the Black Fox's Pengwei, just like Yu Shuyang's Xuanming Underworld Land, whose foundation is the Xuanming Pool.

Xuanhu took the ghost mask in his hand and absorbed the remaining vermilion-gold karma fire into it. The karma fire burned the ghost realm to ashes, absorbed the extreme resentment, and the karma fire also increased a lot.

"Where is the token of the Eye-catching Stone Statue?"

Xuanhu asked the two immortals Yuhua and Shijie.

Yuhuaxian hurriedly took out a straw calf from his arms and held it in both hands. This was a flying beast made of sacrificial grass.

"Dong Yi has some tricks!"

The black fox sighed, then used his power, spitting out a mouthful of fox fire from his mouth, setting the sacrificial grass on fire, and wisps of green smoke curled up like clouds.

There was a dim and narrow alley in the clouds. It looked pitch black. The walls on both sides of the alley were either bright or dark, and the sound of ghosts howling could be heard faintly.

"The Yin-Yang Road is open. You two go in first, and these ghost owls go in last."

The black fox held a ghost mask in one hand and a ball of karma fire in the other. He spoke as if possessed by a ghost, with a sharp and shrill tone of a fox ghost.

The Corpse Reincarnation Immortal and the Ascension Immortal looked at each other and had no choice but to agree, and walked into the dark alley one after the other.

Afterwards, Yu Shuyang, Li Zhen, Yao Jihua, and Yao Zizhong also walked in, and Xuan Hu followed behind them.

"This is the Yin-Yang Road, connecting the Yin and Yang worlds. We may encounter many sneaky people along the way. We are about to move from a dead place to a living place, so it will be difficult to deal with them.

You all must remember not to get entangled with the demons and ghosts, just keep moving forward, they can't catch up with us."

Xuanhu specifically told the four of them that he didn't care about the life or death of Yuhuaxian and Guixiao. After listening to Yu Shuyang's description just now, Xuanhu had already noticed that something was wrong.

If the Emperor of Dongyi still had a good relationship with the Fox Clan, he wouldn't be so cautious. Judging from various signs, he had many different plans.

Just like the Naihe Bridge that Yu Shuyang mentioned, this is their way of retreat. Pengshe and the kid from the Earth Mother Palace probably also have a way of retreat.

After all, Yuhuaxian and his companions brought a group of ghost owls with them. No matter who they asked for help, as long as they lit the Feishou sacrificial grass, they could be led to the Feiyan stone statue.

Among these people, the only one Xuan Hu can trust is Yu Shuyang. The aura of moral education in him is not fake, and his identity as Fox Master is worthy of his trust.

Yu Shuyang held the Ruyi in his hand. Ever since he refined the eighty-one grains of earth, the Five Zhiyao Grass Sword had become heavy, and mountain patterns continued to accumulate beside the grass.

The demons and ghosts in the Nine Netherworlds are extremely difficult to deal with, such as the demons and ghosts in the Nine-Curved Ghost Kingdom. There is no way to restrain them, and there is no way to kill them. If they are besieged by the Death Demon, even a fifth-grade demon fairy will be exhausted to death.

The Wuzhi Yaocao Sword contains the Jiyin Lei Earth, which can restrain all kinds of demons and ghosts, just like Yao Zizhong's mourning stick and Yao Jihua's purple sesame stalk.

The most crucial point, which is also the core of the tomb system of ghosts and gods, is to be buried in peace. No matter how powerful the ghosts are, as long as they are completely buried by the earth, the final result will not escape burial.

Yu Shuyang also saw through the arrangements of the Emperor of Dongyi. Yao Zizhong's mourning stick and the sackcloth-covered funeral corresponded to Tu Bo, and Yao Jihua's purple sesame stalks and lucky star purple air corresponded to Peng Snake.

In other words, Tubo and Pengshe are just representatives of Hou Tu Palace and Dimu Palace, and their purpose is nothing more than to respond so that they will not fail.

This may be the core of the Dongyi Emperor's meticulous planning. No matter how many changes there are in the middle, he has a plan to deal with them, and in the end it all leads to the outcome he envisioned.

The arrangements made by the Emperor of Dongyi were like the changes of fate. Looking at the spider-web-like connections, he led things to the ending he envisioned.

He had also heard of this ability in his previous life. It was called fate weaving. Just like a silkworm spinning silk, it could pull the destiny of others, but in the end, it would backfire on him, just like weaving one's own cocoon.

Yu Shuyang also admired this. He often fiddled with the Xuanwu Turtle Book to deduce and calculate, but he never predicted his fate or future. He was worried that it would lead him astray.

The Yin-Yang Road is dark. No one is coming from the front and no one is going behind. You can only move forward little by little. When you reach the end, you will reach the world of the living.

Yu Shuyang was next to Li Zhen, and they were walking one after the other. The front was illuminated by the karma fire of the black fox, and they could barely see Yao Jihua and Yao Zizhong.

No one spoke along the way, so from time to time, ghost language could be heard. At first, the ghost language was just a muttering, but as they walked deeper and deeper into the Yin-Yang Road, they could gradually understand the ghost language.

In his previous life in the Fuli world, Yu Shuyang had heard of "Zou Wuchang". This kind of person was born with the ability to see ghosts and go in and out of the underworld due to a connection with the ghost messenger of the underworld.

These living people can travel between the Yin and Yang worlds. After a long time, they can understand ghost language and even speak ghost words to deceive ghosts.

Because he is a swordsman, he hates all kinds of tricks the most. Of course, there are also witchcraft and ghost techniques that harm people invisibly, making it difficult for those who practice swordsmanship to perform.

Unexpectedly, today, as Xuanhu went in and out of the Nine Netherworlds, he was able to learn ghost language. The tunnels in the Middle Earth were suppressed, and the power of many ghosts and monsters was suppressed, but it also left a lot of opportunities.

Just like Li Zhen who became a spiritual official in charge of the treasury and occupied the Yin and Yang treasuries, he would achieve great things in the future whether he was rewarding good and punishing evil or promoting the Yin treasury money.

Ghost language has its own ability to bewitch people. It is the sound of the seven souls colliding. Foxes and ghosts are similar because they speak similarly.

In order to become a spirit, a wild fox must first learn to make bird calls. Once it has learned a hundred kinds of bird calls, it can communicate with demons and ghosts. The principle contained in this is the fox ghost sound.

Yu Shuyang split the Dragon Carp Wanfa Bell into nine Taoist bells and hung them in the Jiujian Taoist Palace in order to educate a group of foxes and let them comprehend the spirit of the wind curse.

I don’t know whether it was because the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal and the Ascension Immortal were too powerful and eliminated all the monsters and ghosts on the Yin-Yang Road, or because the Black Fox was holding the ghost mask and frightened them.

Anyway, along the way, I didn't encounter any demons that wanted to take my life, nor any ghosts that wanted to survive, so I arrived at the end of the Yin-Yang Road safely.

Traveling all the way from the fifth level of the Netherworld, you will arrive at the Yin and Yang Realm, and one step further is the Yang World.

The two immortals, Corpse Transformation and Ascension, are waiting here. They both practice the method of escaping death and prolonging life. This trip to Jiuyou is not just to rescue the ghosts of Dongyi.

After this journey of Yin and Yang, returning from the underworld to the world of the living, the two immortals experienced a "reinstatement from death".

In other worlds, corpse-reincarnated immortals and ascension immortals can only stop at ghost immortals, ranking last among the gods and ghosts of heaven, earth, humans and humans.

If the ghost fairy wants to make further progress, it has to hold a "death-releasing" ceremony to retrieve the souls in the underworld, which is how legends like the Golden Tiger Chasing Souls came about.

There is no underworld in Middle-earth, so it is relatively easy to get souls back, but leaving from the Netherworld is difficult.

Xuan Hu walked along the way, constantly paving the Yin-Yang Road. The karma fire in his hand was refined into a lantern, which he held in his hand to illuminate the way ahead.

"Ghost mother."

The Corpse Reincarnation Immortal and the Feather Transformation Immortal shouted in unison. "You two have made it this far, so you're quite capable. If you want to break through, you'll have to rely on your own luck.

I recently forged this Yin-Yang Lantern and am lending it to you two to illuminate the way ahead. I hope it will be of help to you two."

Xuanhu handed the yellow paper lantern to the two immortals. In addition to helping them once, the most important thing for him was to refine the treasure and bring the Yin-Yang lantern into the world of the living.

The Corpse Reincarnation Immortal stepped forward and took the lantern. As the fire of karma illuminated the body, it could be seen that both the Feathered Immortal and the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal had varying degrees of injuries on their bodies. The light attracted some moth-like demons and ghosts over.

The two immortals did not stop and moved forward into the shadows. They wanted to break the barrier between the Yin and Yang worlds.

"Let's rest here and wait for them to open up the road ahead."

Xuan Hu turned around and said to Yu Shuyang and the other three.

Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen didn't say much. At this time, one of them was refining the soil, and the other was communicating with Jintong.

"My Lady Ghost Mother, you haven't appeared in public for an epoch. When you return to the world of the living, why don't you go to the Dongyi tribe first?

Since the curse of Heaven has been passed down, the deceased members of our clan cannot be buried. Could you please come and preside over the burial?"

Yao Jihua didn't say much along the way. At this time, she came up to Xuanhu and persuaded him with earnest hope.

This was her idea, not the arrangement of the Dongyi Emperor. Ever since the will of heaven took action against the Dongyi people, the dead Dongyi people could not be buried, otherwise they would all turn into zombies of drought.

In order to prevent the corpse from turning into a corpse, the Dongyi people could only hang their bodies in coffins on cliffs after death. In this way, the bodies would not be contaminated by the earth's energy.

The puffy-tailed black fox half-closed his eyes and said with a smile, "We can't rush this matter. The ghost kingdom has been broken, and it's impossible to gather the dead souls.

You have to wait for me to rebuild the ghostland. I guess this is your own idea, right?"

Ever since he found out about the relationship between the Fox Clan and the Dongyi Clan, Xuanhu also understood the arrangements made by the Dongyi Emperor, and no longer had to think about the Ghost Mother's identity.

He was suppressed in the Jiuqu Ghost Kingdom. I think the Emperor of Dongyi knew about this a long time ago, but he never came to rescue him. The fundamental reason was that the relationship between the Fox Clan and the Dongyi Clan had changed, and there was no need for the Ghost Mother Goddess to comfort his soul.

Yao Jihua didn't expect that Xuanhu would ask her this in the end. Fortunately, she was not stupid and guessed it in an instant.

The Emperor of Dongyi was full of wisdom and arranged the trip to Jiuyou in detail. He must have considered the placement of Xuanhu.

Now, without any hint, the result is obvious, that is, there is no intention to arrange Xuanhu, or it is impossible to arrange Xuanhu.

Yao Jihua bowed and retreated, standing next to her third uncle Yao Zizhong. She was the one who gained the least from this trip to Jiuyou.

Before long, the ghost owls that were supporting the rear also came over, led by the human-faced owl. After being punished by the black fox once, he dared not to be disrespectful again.

The ghost owls folded their wings and huddled together, not daring to act rashly. As demons, they walked the Yin-Yang Road back to the world of the living, and encountered many troubles along the way.

The eighty-one ghost owls are divided into two waves. The human-faced owls are descendants of Bingzhu and Yanxiao, and the sheep-faced owls are descendants of Yun.

Among the seven surnames of Dongyi, there are two branches, namely Li and Yun, which are their descendants. Because the Li surname is in charge of military affairs and the Yun surname is in charge of hunting, they have more say in the Dongyi tribe than the Yao surname.

Yu Shuyang on the side just watched coldly, and seven out of ten of his attention was devoted to refining the earth. Just as Tu Bo said, he had true earth and weak water, and had the conditions to cast the yellow sand formation.

He was not idle along the way. He slowly transferred the formation diagram and magic rhyme copied on the horsehide to the Lingzhi Ruyi. He was going to combine the formation diagram with the Wuzhi Yaocao Sword.

The eighty-one grains of earth were constantly forming an array, just like using a knife to carve wood, constantly polishing the rubbings on the horsehide, transferring the rhythm of the Nine Bends of Yellow Sand into Ruyi.

Yu Shuyang did not understand the "death-releasing" training, but as he traveled along the Yin-Yang Road, he gradually felt the benefits of turning death into life.

Just like a baby in the mother's womb, after a long period of gestation, it finally waits for the day of birth. This process is exactly the same as the Yin and Yang path.

All existences in the underworld must follow certain principles. For example, the Golden Dragon Shears must be refined with midwifery scissors. The Yin-Yang Road is modeled after childbirth.

Yu Shuyang realized this and understood why the Corpse Reincarnation Immortal and the Ascension Immortal were walking in front obediently. Therefore, he also wanted to hurry up and refine the Nine-Bend Yellow Sand Rhythm into the Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi.

The ritual refining process was not difficult. Like an ant moving house, he slowly absorbed the rhythm of the Dharma and refined the imprinted image into his wish.

Before he finished moving the magic ban, he saw a light in front of him, and behind the light, a silver-blue shadow flashed faintly.

As early as when he was on Hushan Island, Yu Shuyang had seen these phantoms. It was the Five Thunder City during the great catastrophe of heavenly punishment.

"Yangguan has been opened. All of you follow me and let's get out quickly." Xuanhu turned around and reminded.

Yu Shuyang hadn't finished refining the Nine-Curved Yellow Sand Formation yet, and wanted to wait a little longer, so he didn't get up. Li Zhen was also distracted by his refining skills. He glanced at his cousin out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that he didn't move, he didn't move either.

Seeing that the people in front did not move forward, the human-faced owl was annoyed. They had to deal with many monsters and ghosts that wanted to kill them along the way. They were about to escape, but a few people were not proactive.

"You bunch of poor guys are so hesitant like women." The human-faced owl flapped its wings and flew towards the light.

The rest of the ghost owls also flapped their wings and followed the human-faced owl into the light. Before long, they all disappeared.

"Master Yu, what are you two doing?" Yao Jihua asked in confusion.

Yu Shuyang held the horsehide in one hand and the Lingzhi Ruyi in the other. He calmed himself down before speaking, "Young Master Yao, you and Third Uncle Yao should go first. I still need to make a ritual to refine my magical instrument."

Yao Jihua glanced at Yu Shuyang, then looked at Li Zhen. Seeing that both of them were indifferent, she didn't say anything else and just followed Yao Zizhong forward.

At this moment, Yu Shuyang was speeding up to absorb the magic rhythm on the horse's skin. He had a hunch that after the transformation from death to life on the Yin-Yang Road, the Wuzhi Yaocao Sword could add another level of life and death transformation.

It was unknown how long it had been, but he had absorbed all the twists and turns into Ruyi one by one. The horse skin that had imprinted the phantom no longer had the support of the magic rhythm and instantly turned into ashes.

"Little Taoist priest, you are blessed to know how to refine treasures on the Yin-Yang Road. They are all waiting for you two outside."

The puffy-tailed black fox, holding a lantern, turned back to look for Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen. There was a reflection of the Five Thunder City on the Thunder Island, which had sealed the source of the underworld on the island.

The Corpse Reincarnation Immortal and the Ascension Immortal spent half their lives to break the barrier between life and death and carve out a Yang Gate in the world of the living.

However, they did not expect that the Eye-Flying Stone Statue would follow the Origin of the Netherworld and be sealed in the depths of Thunder Island, and there would be a shadow of the Five Thunder City to protect it.

Thunder City is not a tree without roots or water without sources. It is supported by twenty-four Thunder Islands outside and the spiritual roots of fire trees and silver flowers that are nurtured by heavenly calamities.
