Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 481 The Underworld
Chen Yun wandered around the canyon for a while.

Unfortunately, there seems to be nothing else here except the white cloud fairy cattail roots and yellow plum seedlings.

He felt a little puzzled. Since there were these two spiritual roots here, why were there no other spiritual roots?

Could it be that all the spiritual energy has been plundered by the White Cloud Fairy Cattail Root and the Yellow Plum Seedling, so other spiritual roots of heaven and earth cannot survive here?
After careful consideration, Chen Yun felt that this was indeed a possibility.

First of all, the Huangzhongli seedlings must absorb a large amount of spiritual energy in order to grow. It is normal that other spiritual roots cannot absorb it.

Secondly, the properties of the White Cloud Fairy Cattail Root are different from those of other spiritual roots of heaven and earth. It will corrode and devour the immortal Qi to a certain extent.

Then, it should absorb spiritual energy very quickly so that it can barely compete with the young Huangzhongli seedlings and grow in this canyon.

I don’t know if this is true or not, Chen Yun is just guessing.

However, he felt that since he could harvest spiritual roots by entering any place without the Sun's True Fire, then there must be spiritual roots of heaven and earth in other places without the Sun's True Fire.

Chen Yun made up his mind. After Nihe and Xihe recovered their strength, when they went out again, he would pay more attention to other places that were not covered by the sun's true fire and try to collect more spiritual roots of heaven and earth.

He returned to Nihe and Nihe.

Waiting quietly for the two to wake up from their exercises.

About an hour passed.

Nihe opened his eyes first.

About half an hour passed.

He also let out a long breath and woke up.

He said, "Master Chen, my dear brother, let's go find those two old thieves Gou Teng and Xie Wuyang right now, to prevent them from escaping."

Chen Yun naturally wanted to kill Taoist Gou Teng and Xie Wuyang, so he stood up and said, "Good."

The three of them used their magic power and prepared to fly outside.

suddenly!

Chen Yun felt a strong throbbing in his heart, as if something big had happened.

As he reached the mouth of the canyon, he couldn't help but look towards the west and was stunned.

Seeing that he didn't move, Ni He asked in confusion, "Master Chen, why don't you leave?"

Hehe also looked over with a puzzled look.

A trace of sadness inexplicably flashed across Chen Yun's face, and he said softly, "I should go now."

Ni He hadn't reacted yet, "Well, it's time to go, and bring Gou Teng and Xie Wu as soon as possible..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Chen Yun interrupted, "I want to leave Tanggu and not pursue those two old thieves Gou Teng and Xie Wuyang for the time being."

Ni He was stunned, "Why?"

He couldn't help but frowned, "As the saying goes, it's better to kill someone when they are ill. Xie Wuyang and Gou Teng are both seriously injured right now. If we don't take this opportunity to kill them, there will be endless troubles in the future. Master Chen, is there anything more important than killing these two people?"

Chen Yun's expression became more and more sad, and he said softly: "My mother passed away."

"what?"

"This……"

Nihe and Nihe were greatly shocked.

They never imagined that Chen Yun had already achieved immortality, but his mother had just passed away?
However, the ancients attached great importance to filial piety, so Nihe made a prompt decision and said, "Master Chen, you go first. I will chase the two old thieves with Nihe."

Hehe said: "Well, the grace of giving birth to a child is greater than heaven. Your mother has passed away, so go and see her off as soon as possible."

Chen Yun bowed to the two men and said, "If you can't find Gou Teng and Xie Wuyang, hurry to Luoyang as soon as possible. We'll meet in Luoyang."

After saying this, he turned into a golden light and left.

To be honest, in Chen Yun's heart, he didn't want Nihe and Xihe to find Taoist Gou Teng and Xie Wuhuan.

He wanted to kill these two people personally.

But he had more important things to do right now, so he had to let the two of them go for the time being.

Yes, just as Xiehe said, this is the best chance to kill Taoist Gou Teng and Xie Wuyang. It would be a pity to miss it.

However, no matter how good the opportunity is, it cannot compare to the grace of giving birth to a child.

Chen Yun has been feeling resentful all his life since he was sold out by his family.

It wasn't until his father's death last time that he learned the truth.

Since then, he has never had any complaints against his original family.

Originally, he was thinking about whether he could bless his family after he became an immortal.

But after listening to the words of the Queen Mother of the West, Chen Yun knew that he should not have too much contact with his family, and it would be best to protect their safety in secret.

Indeed, he did so, and the disciples were always paying attention.

Just now Chen Yun felt a palpitation in his heart, and then he immediately received a message from Taoist Miao Shan, saying that Bao Xin, who was secretly protecting his family, said that his mother had passed away.

So, Chen Yun had to rush back to attend the funeral.

……

All the way to Chang'an.

Chen Yun identified the direction.

Projected towards a mansion.

Come to the door.

All I saw was the words "Chen Mansion" written on the mansion.

He took a deep breath and prepared to knock on the door.

However, after extending his hand, Chen Yun involuntarily retracted it.

If I knock on this door today, it means I am returning to my family.

It will be easy to deal with any problems that may arise with my younger brothers and sisters in the future.

When those youngsters come to you for help, should you help them or not?

In the end, Chen Yun did not knock on the door. Instead, he used invisibility and walked straight through the wall.

Come inside.

Bursts of wailing could be heard from the inner courtyard.

Chen Yun sighed and walked slowly.

Not long after.

Came to the inner courtyard.

He saw that the door of the east wing was full of people, all crying.

Chen Yun did not reveal his figure. He walked past the group of people and entered the house.

At this time, there were two men and one woman kneeling in the room, crying loudly.

One of them was even wearing an official robe.

As expected, it was his third brother Chen Feng.

I guess he was busy with official business and was called back temporarily.

Thinking back to the last time Chen Yun saw him, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, but now his temples are all gray.

The other relatively young and fat man in his thirties should be his fourth brother.

As for the woman in her forties or fifties, she must be his second sister.

Seeing his younger brothers and sisters grow so much older, Chen Yun felt very sad.

He just glanced at everyone and went straight to the window, looking at the skinny old woman with silver hair who was lying quietly there.

It is the mother who gave birth to me.

But at this moment, the mother was lying there without any breath.

Seeing this, Chen Yun was in a trance, and his mind couldn't help but recall his childhood, when he came back from a relative's house one night, and his mother held his hand and walked in the moonlight. It seemed that it was still in front of him.

My thoughts burst at this moment.

He recalled that when he was a child, he fell asleep at night, his mother gently woke him up, and then took out a piece of warm cake from her arms.

I ate it voraciously and it tasted so delicious.

Mother and father were smiling beside them.

That kind of warmth seems to be right before my eyes.

There are still so many warm memories of being with my parents flowing in my heart.

Chen Yun felt inexplicably blocked in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.

He passed by his younger brothers and sisters.

I walked to the bedside and gently grabbed my mother's rough, wrinkled right hand.

Chen Yun suddenly had a feeling, as if he was back in his childhood, holding her hand in the moonlight.

He just held on quietly, allowing the sadness to spread.

Suddenly, Chen Yun felt as if something came out of his mother's body.

He looked closely and found that it was his mother's "soul".

But the mother's "soul" seemed dazed at this moment, as if she had no consciousness.

Moreover, at almost the same time, two figures, one black and one white, appeared next to the mother's "soul".

The white one has a pale face, a long tongue hanging out of his mouth, and is wearing an official uniform. On his official hat are the words "First sight brings wealth" written on it.

The black one had a fierce face, a broad and fat body, a small stature and a dark face, and the words "Peace in the World" were written on his official hat.

It was none other than Xie Bian, the White Impermanence, and Fan Wujiu, the Black Impermanence.

The two gods held shackles and handcuffs.

It seems that he wants to capture the soul of Chen Yun's mother.

But before the two gods could take any action, they saw Chen Yun.

Bai Wuchang immediately bowed and said, "May I ask who you are and why are you waiting here?"

Hei Wuchang also looked at him as if he were facing a powerful enemy, and thought that Chen Yun was here to steal his soul.

Chen Yun replied, "I am Chen Pu, a disciple of Zhenren Zhengyang in Ningyang Cave of Zhongnan Mountain. I would like to meet Master Xie Qi and Master Fan Ba. She is my mother, so I am waiting here."

Bai Wuchang and Hei Wuchang breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Wuchang said, "So it's Master Chen. Excuse me, excuse me."

Chen Yun looked at them with a bit of doubt, "You two gods are from the underworld, why are you here to arrest people?"

He remembered that when his father died, it was the Fengdu underworld that came to take him away.

Bai Wuchang said: "This place is under the jurisdiction of my underworld, so Mr. Fan and I are here to take him away."

Oh I got it.

I think Dahei Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Fengdu Underworld.

Chen Yun nodded slightly and said, "Can I give her a ride?"

Bai Wuchang and Hei Wuchang looked at each other.

Immediately, Hei Wuchang said: "This is against the rules."

Chen Yun frowned.

Bai Wuchang followed closely and said, "However, Master Chen's filial piety is commendable, so it's okay for us to make an exception once."

Chen Yun bowed quickly, "Thank you very much, Master Qi and Master Fan Ba."

Perhaps it was because he wanted to give face to Chen Yun.

The Black and White Impermanence did not capture the soul of Chen Yun's mother, but used magic power to lead it away.

Chen Yun followed the two gods and entered the underworld.

After a while, we arrived at a large rocky mountain surrounded by the sea.

The sea surrounding Dashishan is so vast that you can't see where the end is.

The most amazing thing is that the water in the sea is calm.

It was curious as if the sea water was not flowing, just so lifeless.

The Dashishan Mountain is also extremely huge, as if it is even larger than the universe.

The most amazing thing is that this big stone mountain is made up of a whole piece of boulder.

Chen Yun thought to himself, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Wo Jiao."

To the west of Dashishan Mountain, there is a narrow path so dark that even light cannot illuminate it. It is the legendary Yellow Springs Black Road.

There is a suspended black palace where the Yellow Springs Black Road connects to the sea.

Inscribed on the plaque in the middle were three large characters: "Ghost Judge Hall".

Chen Yun knew that the Ghost Judgement Hall was the office of King Qin Guang, the head of the Ten Kings of Hell.

He followed the Black and White Impermanence and entered the temple.

This is a not very big palace. There is a high platform on the right side of the palace, called the Nie Mirror Platform. The platform is ten feet high and the mirror is ten feet in diameter, hanging towards the east.

There are seven characters horizontally on it, which read: There are no good people in front of the mirror of evil.

There is a long table on the left side of the hall, and behind the table sits a god with leopard eyes, lion nose, long beard, a square crown on his head, holding a hu in his right hand in front of his chest, and wearing a green robe. He is none other than King Qin Guang of the First Hall.

Chen Yun immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, "I am Chen Pu, a disciple of Zhenren Zhengyang from the Ningyang Cave in Zhongnan Mountain. I am honored to meet King Qin Guang."

King Qin Guang seemed to have expected Chen Yun's arrival, and he did not seem surprised. He just smiled and extended his hand, saying, "Master Chen, you are too polite. Please don't be polite. Please take a seat."

Immediately, a ghost brought a chair.

Chen Yun thanked him and sat down.

King Qin Guang pretended to be confused and asked, "What is the important matter that Master Chen came to my underworld this time?"

Chen Yun looked at his mother's soul kneeling in the hall, then retracted his gaze and said, "My mother has reached the end of her life. I have come here today to see her off. I hope Your Highness can show mercy."

King Qin Guang naturally understood what Chen Yun meant.

He smiled and said, "Originally, the rules of the underworld are that the soul is first reflected on the Sin Mirror, reflecting all the sins committed in life, and then judged according to the sins. However, since Master Chen has come forward, I have to give him this face. Your mother does not need to go to the Sin Mirror. I will have someone inform the halls behind, and after forty-nine days, she will be sent directly to reincarnate into a wealthy family. Master Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Yun did not expect that King Qin Guang would give him such a favor. He quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will remember it in my heart."

King Qin Guang waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I once received a favor from Zheng Yangzi. This little thing is not worth mentioning."

So that's how it is. It turns out that my teacher has done a favor to King Qin Guang. No wonder the other party is willing to give me such a big face.

Chen Yun still expressed his gratitude profusely.

Finally, King Qin Guang was polite and said, "Master Chen, you should not stay in the underworld for too long. If it gets out, it will not be good for you and me. If you have nothing else, please go back first."

Chen Yun understood what King Qin Guang meant. If the other party showed favoritism to Chen Yun, it would be bad for his reputation and might even lead to blame.

He stood up and said, "In that case, I will take my leave first."

King Qin Guang said: "No."

Chen Yun turned around and left the underworld, heading towards the human world.

As he was traveling back and forth, he was secretly sighing in his heart.

Although I didn't show much filial piety to my mother when she was alive, and just took some gold back home, I finally showed some filial piety after my mother passed away.

In her next life, she could at least marry into a wealthy family and enjoy life.

Maybe this is the best choice.

At this moment, Chen Yun knew that his worldly ties were completely over and he would have no more worries.
