Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 151 Souls That Cannot Be Resurrected

Tang Shanshan was locked in the woodshed. Due to excessive fright, her face turned ashen and she slumped in the corner. She was a woman who had come from a den of bandits. She had only seen Master Jiang's strength for the first time in the reception hall and knew that his martial arts were almost on par with her brother's.

She was puzzled. Before she got married, her brother Tang Long said that he would send people to break into the Jiang family overnight to carry out a masked robbery.

But it's been two days now and we haven't seen a trace of them. Could something have happened?

……

living room.

Master Jiang personally brewed tea and invited Li Xuan to taste it.

After drinking two glasses.

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Master Jiang, please speak frankly."

Master Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Young friend Li has an extraordinary air about him. He seems to be a legendary person with extraordinary abilities. I wonder if the Fengdu Underworld you mentioned earlier really exists in this world?"

He had already asked once, but at this moment, he desperately hoped to get a different answer from Li Xuan.

The Jiang family has a long history of single-lineage marriages, and the population is dwindling. To be honest, they are on the verge of extinction. He desperately wants to know what his deceased ancestors were thinking.

He also wanted to see his deceased son.

Li Xuan saw through his thoughts and said, "Is there someone Master Jiang wants to see?"

Master Jiang nodded frankly and said, "If possible, I would like to see my ancestors, or I could see my recently deceased son..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "After a person dies, the seven souls disperse. The heavenly soul returns to heaven, the life soul attaches to the corpse, and the earthly soul returns to the underworld. This earthly soul is the soul that possesses the consciousness of the previous life. If a person dies more than seven days ago, they will definitely enter the underworld. Yin and Yang are separated, and even if they have not yet been reincarnated, it is difficult for them to meet. They can only communicate with each other remotely through secret methods."

Master Jiang hurriedly said, "My son is no more than three days old."

Li Xuan said, "If the time of death is within three days, the three souls will wander around like drunkards, following their instincts to enter the underworld. If they are not extremely wicked, they can be personally led up by the ghost messengers to see their home and sever their ties to this world."

He said, "There is a soul-summoning technique that can summon your son to the underworld for a brief meeting if he has not yet entered the underworld."

Master Jiang asked, "What if we go to the underworld?"

Li Xuan said, "Once you enter the underworld, you will be subject to its jurisdiction. Forcibly summoning someone would be obstructing official business."

Upon hearing this, Master Jiang took out a 10-tael gold ingot from his sleeve and placed it on the table in front of Li Xuan, saying, "Whether things succeed or not, this is just a small token of my appreciation."

Li Xuan didn't take it, but glanced at Chen Asi standing beside him, and said to Master Jiang, "My friend has no connections in Fukang County. He's honest and easily bullied. I humbly request that Master Jiang help him out..."

Master Jiang thought it was something serious and laughed, "As long as he's not abusing his power, we should keep him safe and sound, no problem."

……

In the courtyard of the Jiang family, the altar was opened.

A typical Taoist altar is complete with incense, candles, paper money, peach wood sword, lanterns, yellow talismans, cinnabar ink, and all necessary props.

Li Xuan burned the birth date and time of the young master of the Jiang family, picked up the talisman with his index and middle fingers, waved it in the air, and casually threw it. The talisman fell into the lantern and burst into flames, igniting the wick.

Holding a lantern, he followed the steps of a fairy, calling out the name of the young master of the Jiang family: "Jiang An, Jiang An, come back quickly."

It was clearly a man's voice, but it had a hint of a woman's sobbing tone in the ears, which made Mr. Jiang, who was sitting next to him, feel somewhat incredulous.

call……

A chilling wind swept through.

The flame inside the lantern flickered uncertainly.

Li Xuan's eyes caught sight of a large, fat man in a black groom's suit with a big red flower on his chest, a black hat on his head, and a plaster on his forehead, drifting in with the wind... Jiang An had arrived.

However, it's strange that someone who has only been dead for a little over two days is already having their soul dissipate.

He began by asking, "Jiang An, do you recognize your own family?"

Jiang An was dizzy and his body was semi-transparent. He squinted slightly, turned to the left, then to the right, and murmured, "Oh..."

Oh?
Li Xuan wanted to ask more questions.

Old Master Jiang couldn't help but stand up and look around. He couldn't see the spirit, and asked anxiously, "Has my son come? Can I see him?"

Li Xuan picked up a talisman from the table, burned it to ashes, and scattered it in the air, covering Master Jiang's face with it. He said, "When you close your eyes and feel the cold air rising up, open your eyes again and you will see it."

Upon hearing this, Master Jiang closed his eyes and felt a chill rise up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a fat face very close to him, and he was so frightened that he plopped back down in his chair.

He came to his senses and realized that this was his son.

Jiang An floated in the air, looking somewhat aggrieved, and said in a weak voice, "Dad... I'm so hungry."

Old Master Jiang was heartbroken. Although Jiang An had never been very bright, he was still his own child, and no parent would want to see their child suffer.

He said, trembling, "Jiang An, is it really you?"

Jiang An was a bit slow-witted in life, and his intelligence remained the same even after death. It was as if he was having a conversation with Old Master Jiang on a different wavelength, and suddenly he opened his arms and chuckled: "Dad, look, I can fly..."

Tears welled up in Mr. Jiang's eyes. Seeing that his child was still so mentally challenged and had no concept of death, he was at a loss for whether to be happy or sad.

Li Xuan said, "Master Jiang, your son's condition is a bit strange. The longer we see him, the weaker he becomes. Why don't I help him reincarnate sooner? Perhaps in his next life, he can be a carefree young master."

Master Jiang reached out to touch Jiang An's cheek, but his hand passed right through it without him feeling anything.

He looked at him intently and said, "Yes, after all, we are now separated by life and death. I cannot delay his journey. I entrust the matter of the funeral rites to you, young friend Li..."

Li Xuan placed his hands on the altar and began chanting the sutra for saving people.

Jiang An was radiating golden light, as if he would be swept away by the wind at any moment. He struggled desperately, crying out, "It hurts, it hurts so much, Dad, it hurts so much..."

Master Jiang was stunned and looked at Li Xuan: "This... will the ritual of deliverance hurt?"

Li Xuan stopped reciting the scriptures. It was the first time he had ever seen a ghost cry out in pain while being exorcised. However, judging from Jiang An's expression, the pain did not seem to be feigned or a joke.

Is it...

There is no underworld in this world?

After a person dies, they simply turn to ashes and return to the earth?

When Jiang An first appeared, his soul was weak. He had only been dead for two days and he was already like this. What about the people who died before him...?

Li Xuan slapped the gourd with his right hand, absorbing Jiang An's soul into it. With his back to Master Jiang, he took out the Seal of Investigating the Three Realms of Ghosts and Gods and the Command of the Nine Springs. He glanced at them and found them dim and lifeless. It seemed that, like the world of Ju-on, they could not be directly connected to the world of Fengdu Underworld.

Mr. Jiang asked anxiously, "What's wrong with my son?"

Li Xuan said, "It seems that you cannot connect to the underworld from here, which is why your son cannot be released from suffering. I will temporarily put him into the gourd to nurture him until I contact the underworld. Otherwise, if he is left to wander in the mortal world, his soul will be scattered and he will never be reincarnated within seven days."

Master Jiang was taken aback, then, as if remembering something, he said, "We can't communicate with the underworld from here, so what about my ancestors..."

Li Xuan paused for a moment, then said, "They may all have no chance of reincarnation."

Master Jiang seemed to have been struck by lightning. The ancestors he had worshipped since he was old enough to understand were just a few pieces of wood.
