The years when I opened a coffin shop in the world of Ninth Uncle

Chapter 185 Entering the Underworld
"That's it!"

Uncle Jiu shook his head and sighed, looked at his two apprentices, and blamed himself, "Master didn't think about you. You still have a long way to go, so you shouldn't be tied up in Yizhuang."

Uncle Jiu originally thought that Qiusheng and Wencai would take over the mantle of Yizhuang and continue to serve Renjia Town.

Wencai and Qiusheng were delighted when they heard this, and then they smiled, and the latter asked, "Master, think about it, when Master Simu and Master Qianhe come to us next time, we will see the newly built Taoist temple." , how envious I should be."

Uncle Jiu thinks about it and thinks it's not bad. He is getting older, so it's time for him to take care of himself.

After thinking about it, seeing Xu Ping still standing in the yard, he hurriedly said, "Xiao Xu, come on, Xiao Hua specially prepared a big table of dishes for you."

Xu Ping looked at Gu Nianhua who was behind Uncle Jiu, who smiled shyly, "If you don't come over to eat again, the food will be cold."

"Hahaha……"

"Eat, eat!"

The five sat down and chatted while eating.

"Hey, shopkeeper Xu, what fun is there for you to go out this time?" Wen Cai looked curious, he had never been out of Renjia Town since he was so old.

"What do you call Shopkeeper Xu? Now I have to call him Boss Xu." Qiu Sheng joked.

Xu Ping smiled: "Qiu Sheng, you don't need to be so out of touch. As for the fun things, there are too many..."

"Speak quickly."

Gu Nianhua, who was sitting on the left, had a blushing face and also showed a curious expression, urging her.

Xu Ping glanced at her, seeing the extremely pure emotions in her clear eyes, he couldn't help being startled.

Looking at the charming girl in front of him, Xu Ping drank a glass of wine and said loudly: "This matter, I have to start when I went to Hong Kong Island..."

Xu Ping went into every detail, while drinking and eating, he told a few people about his experiences in Hong Kong Island.

Just subconsciously, put aside the matter about Zhou Lianqing.

Like a scumbag.

What Uncle Jiu said was mainly about Gu Nianhua, how to show off his power on Maoshan Mountain.

Wencai and Qiusheng who listened were dumbfounded.

"Junior Sister, how come you are so powerful after traveling so far?" Qiu Sheng couldn't believe it, and looked up and down the girl in front of him.

Wencai looked at Uncle Jiu, "Master, did you hide something and didn't teach me and Qiusheng?"

"Yeah! I didn't just save one hand, I kept four or five hands..." Uncle Jiu cursed, and shouted: "You two are useless by yourself, so you have the nerve to say that I am hiding something."

"I asked you to practice kung fu on weekdays, either to be lazy or to play, and I didn't take it to heart at all. You guys, if Xiao Hua was half worried, I wouldn't..."

Uncle Jiu couldn't stop talking, and Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai looked at each other, shrugged, and began to concentrate on cooking.

"Hee hee..." Gu Nianhua smiled slyly, then turned to look at Xu Ping, "Brother Xu, you won't go out again when you come back this time, right?"

Xu Ping pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "I'll stay for a while, I still have to go out."

Not to mention that Hong Kong Island has worries now, and he has to go to see it every now and then. It is the invitation of Zhong Kui Zhenjun. After thinking about it carefully, he must go there after all.

It's just that there is no need to tell Uncle Jiu about this, so he keeps it deep in his heart, and at the same time, pretends not to see Gu Nianhua's disappointed expression.

After eating, Xu Ping and Uncle Jiu sat on the cool chairs, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and sipped the tea in their cups.

Very comfortable.

This tea was what Xu Ping asked General Qin to ask for, General Qin mixed a little bit with heartache, and asked Xu Ping to find time to talk to him about the past, so he was willing to give it to him.

Perhaps it is rare for this high and mighty City God to find a good friend.

"That General Qin deserves to be the city god of the provincial capital, he has hidden such a good thing." Uncle Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the fragrance between his lips and teeth.

Xu Ping smiled lightly: "It's a pity that he only gave me this...huh?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Uncle Jiu looking over, with a suspicious expression on his face and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Hahaha……"

Xu Ping laughed three times, and said, "Nothing can be hidden from you, Uncle Jiu..."

As he said that, he took out a small bag of tea and put it on the tea table next to him. After thinking for a while, he instructed, "Uncle Jiu, you can't drink this tea indiscriminately, let alone give it to others. Drink it once every three days. Three leaves of tea leaves, your white hair will turn black with one stroke."

This small bag of tea was originally prepared by him for Uncle Jiu.

This kind of tea is extremely nourishing for practitioners, and Xu Ping added some ingredients, which is the blood essence of the dead dragon.

Dyeing red and green tea with blood essence can bring vitality to people. He tried it in advance and gave it to Uncle Jiu without any side effects.

Hearing that it has such an effect, Uncle Jiu took it solemnly, "Then I will thank you in advance."

Xu Ping waved his hand: "Are we still talking about this?"

Uncle Jiu nodded with a smile, looked sideways, looked at the room next to the lighted room, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Xu, what... are you going to do?"

Xu Ping observed his gaze, fell silent for a moment, got up and said, "Let's talk about it later, there are some things that I don't know how to say."

Uncle Jiu nodded and asked, "Xiao Xu, are you going back?"

"Um……"

Xu Ping responded, waved his hand, and left Yizhuang.

……

Walking on the wild mountain road, Xu Ping originally planned to stay in Yizhuang for a while, but just now, he suddenly felt a little throbbing.

In this wilderness, it seemed that something was calling him.

Following the feeling in his heart, Xu Ping jumped over a pile of weeds, and found a flower blooming in the wind by the small river with strange rocks.

The flowers swaying in the night wind are scarlet red as a whole, and the flower whiskers are like devil's claws, encircling the flowers in the middle.

The slender petals sway gently, exuding a refreshing sweetness under the moonlight.

Suddenly smelling this smell, Xu Ping also felt a little dizzy with his current skills. He collected himself and looked carefully.

"The other side of the flower!"

"Isn't this kind of flower blooming in the underworld?"

Xu Ping was very curious and was thinking about why he was attracted here, when he saw a beautiful figure floating out of the petals.

A woman in a blood-red robe, with fluttering long hair, fair skin, and a pretty face, with slightly parted red lips, as if hiding endless spring.

"You are Xu Ping?"

The woman looked at the young man in front of her and asked, her voice was charming and hoarse, which sounded very attractive.

This girl doesn't look like a good person... Xu Ping nodded, frowning slightly: "Who are you, and where are you from?"

Xu Ping would not think that a beautiful woman suddenly appeared from the other side of the flower.

But when looking at this woman with the qi-watching technique, apart from seeing a scarlet Bana flower, there is no other discovery.

Seeing Xu Ping nod his head in recognition, the woman continued to smile charmingly, her red apricot-like pupils narrowed slightly and turned into crescent moons, with an expression of great interest on her face.

"It turns out that you are Xu Ping. You look just like that, ordinary and ordinary. I don't know why my brother values ​​you so much, and you want me to go there myself." The woman pouted her red lips and said dissatisfied.

Xu Ping muttered to himself: "Your brother?"

"My name is Zhong Li, and my elder brother's name is Zhong Kui. He asked me to find you..." After the woman introduced herself, she looked at Xu Ping in front of her and continued, "Because the gate of the underworld has been closed, he cannot send messages. Come here, so please ask me to run."

Xu Ping's first thought was suspicion, "You said that the Lord Zhenjun couldn't send the letter, why did you leave Yincao?"

The woman who called herself Zhong Li rolled her eyes at him, "Because my body is Bi An Hua, I can travel freely between Yin and Yang."

Xu Ping was dubious.

He has already decided to go to the underworld, and he told General Qin before leaving the provincial capital. Could it be that General Qin can't send a letter?

Do you want Master Zhenjun to send a message again?

"I still don't believe you." Xu Ping said it openly without hiding it.

The woman was not trusted, she looked anxious, and said directly: "Believe it or not, anyway, I have already passed on the word, so I will leave."

As she said that, her body was placed between illusion and reality, and gradually that beautiful figure dissipated and turned into a blood-red flower from the other shore, which was about to disappear.

Xu Ping hurriedly said, "I believe it."

What happened in the underworld was so unimaginable that even Lord Zhenjun had to ask himself for help, Xu Ping was just to be on the safe side.

But now it seems that this woman's attitude is not so urgent, so it should not be a lie.

The woman's voice drifted out again: "Follow me, enter my flower heart, and I will take you down."

Entering your place...Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, then heard the woman urging, "Hurry up, if it's past the hour, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."

"oh oh……"

Like an innocent boy, Xu Ping responded dully, pinched his body, and began to fade away slowly.

But at this time, the Bian Hua at his feet suddenly had a kind of sucking power, and instantly sucked him in.

The bewitching Bana flowers swaying under the moonlight also gradually became transparent, and then disappeared in place.

……

"Where is this?"

"It's so dark and so trendy!"

Xu Ping was in the dark, he couldn't see his fingers...

"wrong!"

"Where is my hand?"

Surprised, Xu Ping didn't even feel the presence of his hand.

It's like an uninhabited ghost, fluttering in the wind, not knowing what lies ahead.

"Sister Zhongli?"

Xu Ping tried to shout, but no one answered.

"Beauty?"

"Don't be noisy!"

Only then did someone respond, and Xu Ping hurriedly asked, "What's the situation, where are we now?"

"We are traveling between the worlds of Yin and Yang. Don't talk to me anymore. If I don't control it well, if I'm not careful, we may fall down. Maybe we will be reduced to the beast way..."

"So you can't talk to me anymore, and don't make any noise, because you will affect me, and I must concentrate..."

"Can you stop talking?"

Hearing her babbling, Xu Ping couldn't help feeling frightened. He said he couldn't speak, and kept going on and on.

If he becomes Zhu Bajie II, then he can find someone to reason with.

"whee……"

In the dark void, there was a charming laugh, and then fell silent.

Being in such darkness, completely lost the concept of time, Xu Ping only felt a "boom" in his mind.

Something seemed to explode in his head, and his whole body was fluttering, like a feather fluttering and shaking.

When he guessed something under his feet, he felt a down-to-earth feeling, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

In front of you is a scene you will never forget.

Under the dark sky, there stands a towering city wall. The city gate is open, like an ancient beast with a ferocious mouth, a silent abyss, vowing to devour all life.

Above the city gate, there are three ancient seal characters written.

[More than half a step. 】

"Can you move your foot?"

Xu Ping was still in awe of the majestic city wall in front of him, when he suddenly heard a woman's displeased voice from below him.

He hurriedly moved away, and found that under his feet, he was stepping on a Bana flower. The tender stem, like a willow branch, had an astonishing arc.

Bianhua turned into a woman in red again, and shouted at Xu Ping: "What happened to you just now, I brought you here, why did you step on me?"

Who told you to stay under me... Xu Ping held back his smile and apologized, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention."

As he said that, he changed the subject and looked up at the city in front of him, "That Zhongli, isn't it half a step away from the legendary place where Yin and Yang meet? Shouldn't we go directly to the underworld?"

Could it be that Feng is no longer able to survive, and has escaped the jurisdiction of the underworld?

"No!"

Zhong Li shook his head, and said solemnly: "The situation in Fengdu is okay, and it can barely maintain it, but after half a step, it has become a mess here, and my brother is here to maintain the situation."

Xu Ping nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Then take me to see Lord Zhenjun."

Before, he could be regarded as a netizen, but now he is finally going to meet the base. Thinking about it, Xu Ping still feels a little inexplicably excited.

Zhong Li nodded: "I'll take you in through the waterway, so as not to startle the snake and attract attention."

It's okay, I can do both land and water... Xu Ping nodded and followed behind her.

He found that the world here is in a gray state all year round, like a heavy smog, making it difficult for people to discern the direction.

The sky and the earth are the same color, there is no sun, moon and stars.

Following Zhong Li detoured to a place ten miles outside the city wall, and a place farther away was shrouded in thick fog. Xu Ping took a look and heard her remind: "You have to be careful here, don't walk into the thick fog. within range."

"What's in the thick fog?" Xu Ping asked without understanding.

"do not know!"

"do not know?"

Zhong Li nodded, and said, "No one knows what lies beyond the thick fog, and none of the people who entered the dense fog can come back."

"This is also the first thing you need to know to survive half a step!"

Xu Ping nodded, remembering it in his heart.

In front of him was a big river with a width of more than ten meters. Zhong Li introduced: "This is called the Nether River, and we will enter it for half a step from here."

The Nether River looked incomparably deep, turbid and dull, like a pool of mud. Xu Ping used the Qi Wang technique to look at it, and found that there were countless death breaths in the river, which made people feel dizzy just by looking at it. .

Can this go down?

Xu Ping had doubts in his heart.

"You are a stranger, you need this if you want to go down this river." Zhong Li took out a Bianhua petal from the skirt of his chest.

The petals are dazzling, like blood clots.

"Put this in your mouth, and you will be able to avoid the death aura of the Nether River."
