Taboo Master

Chapter 285 Three Forks

"You, why are you?" I also said in amazement, and at the same time stopped in my tracks, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, this is just an adjective, I can't even breathe now, how can I relax?
Ah Jiu looked at me wonderingly, and then looked behind: "Why did you appear here, someone is chasing you?"

He didn't explain why he was here, because there was no need to explain it at all. He was on a errand, and he could come anytime, anywhere, so in other words, he could go back anytime, anywhere?

I was overjoyed in my heart, nodded quickly and said: "I don't know why I came here in a daze. I met an old woman in the Huangquan Inn, who brought me a bowl of tea and asked me to stay with her... "

"Oh? You should be talking about Grandma Long, hehe, she actually took a fancy to you, it's really interesting, but I heard that she found someone a few days ago, why did she want to replace it with you?" Ah Jiu was completely confused. With a mocking tone, I was anxious to hear it, and said helplessly: "Please, don't make trouble, that uncle is still chasing me now, it seems that he wants me to stay, so he can go to reincarnation."

"Ah, that's the way it is. It's okay. Don't worry. I'll tell Grandma Long about this. She's actually a very nice person." While talking, he actually wanted to pull me back, and I backed away in fright. , waved his hand and said: "I want to go to you, I won't go back, that old woman is really scary..."

Ah Jiu stopped in her tracks, looked at me with a frown, then looked at the mist above the river bank, nodded and said, "That's okay, you're here, if someone chases you, I'll just chase you away."

What he said made me feel more at ease, and I asked Ah Jiu again: "Thanks to meeting you, is this, this place really a hellish place?"

Ah Jiu shook his head and said: "The Underworld? If it is really the Underworld, I can't be so comfortable. Let me tell you, this is the junction of the world and the underworld. It is called Sanchakou. The Huangquan Inn you saw just now is actually a Counterfeit."

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, I couldn't help but wonder, Sanchakou, Huangquan Inn, counterfeit?What does it mean?
Ah Jiu turned around, looked at the silver river, and said lightly: "This river is called the Wuyou River, which is different from the Wangchuan in the Netherworld. The Wangyou tea made by the dragon mother-in-law is made from the water in this river. She has been staying here for an unknown period of time. The purpose is to let some unfortunate people who are destined to pass by here forget the troubles in the world. Walk on the road to hell without any worries."

I stared blankly at the silver river in front of me, which was as bright and gorgeous as the Milky Way, with slight waves flickering. It turned out that this river was really called the Wuyou River.

Ah Jiu's voice continued.

"Sanchakou is a very strange place, and Huangquan Inn, in fact, can't be called a counterfeit, because it is Huangquan Road from here."

"But, don't you have to pass the gate of hell to get to Huangquan Road?" I asked wonderingly.

"That's another road. People who walk from the gate of hell to the road to Huangquan have obsessions in their hearts and care about the world, so they will suffer much more than those who walk from Sanchakou to the road to Huangquan. All of this is due to that Grandma Long."

I scratched my head wonderingly, so, that Luang Po is still a good person?
"Forget it, I don't care what happens to her, Ah Jiu, can you help me get back from here now?"

Ah Jiu nodded and said, "That's easy to say, but you have to tell me, how did you get here?"

I didn't hide it from him, so I roughly told what happened before, and Ah Jiu said movedly: "In this way, not only did you not die, you didn't even suffer any harm, just such a muddle-headed soul left your body and came here ?”

I smiled wryly and said, "That's right, that's it. I think, this time, someone should have plotted against me."

He thought for a while and said, "It's nothing to take you back, but I still have things to do, how about this, you wait for me here for a while, and I will go back together when I collect some Qingming fruits here."

"Qingming fruit?" I asked in surprise, "It turns out that Qingming fruit grows here."

"Why, you also know Qingmingguo?" He was slightly taken aback and asked.

"I don't know..." I recalled the scene in the wooden house just now, and I said, "I even ate it. It was given to me by that strange uncle who was with the dragon mother-in-law."

"That would be too bad." Ah Jiu's expression became serious, "Qingming fruit is a special product of the underworld, and it is only found by the Wuyou Riverside. It is said that it is one of the formulas of Long Po Wangyou tea. The ghost will be more beneficial, it can accelerate the solidification of the soul..."

"Let the soul solidify faster? What does that mean?" I asked puzzled.

"That's it..." He hesitated for a while, then suddenly took a few steps forward, bent down, picked a small blue fruit from the flowers on the other side, and said to me: "Simply speaking, this thing can help ghosts cultivate , but only for ghosts to eat, in other words, if you are a ghost, eating this Qingming fruit will be of great benefit to you, but the price for a strong ghost body is that you can no longer return to your own physical body."

"Ah?! I just ate one, so it won't be that serious?" I was frightened at once. Isn't this a joke? If you eat such a fruit, you won't be able to return to your own body?
I watched helplessly as the green fruit turned red in Ah Jiu's hand. Ah Jiu smiled, put the fruit into a basket by his hand, and said, "But since you only ate one, That should be no hindrance, I think, as long as you stay here for three days, after the power of Qing Mingguo dissipates, you go back to Yangjian, not only will it not hurt you, but it will improve your realm, which will have a great effect Great benefit."

I just breathed a sigh of relief, but when I heard that I still have to stay here for three days, I couldn't help but frowned. Just now, the strange uncle also said that I would stay here for three days. It seems that this sentence is true, but, the world is so There are so many things waiting for me to do, how can I stay here for three days?

Besides, the old problem is back again, in three days, what if someone cremated me?
I was struggling, and a figure suddenly rushed out of the fog. I looked up, and it was the strange uncle. He didn't dare to move for a while.

"Yes, it's Brother Ah Jiu, what a coincidence, you're here too..." The strange uncle opened his mouth, and after saying this, he actually knew Ah Jiu.

"Now is the time when the Qingming fruit is ripe. Of course I will be here. Why, Uncle Yan, although you have not been here for long, didn't Grandma Long tell you that she has already given this area to me?" Ah Jiu said unhurriedly.

The strange uncle was originally surnamed Yan, he grinned, but took a step back, and said: "No, no, brother Ah Jiu misunderstood, I didn't come to pick Qingming fruit, it was, it was Grandma Long, let me bring this When the man went back, Grandma Long said that this man was born with a spiritual bone, and she wanted to take him as an apprentice and stay here."

Ah Jiu was taken aback, and looked at me, and I was also dumbfounded, what's going on, this is the matter of recruiting apprentices again?

As for my natural spiritual bones, I have some impressions of this matter. I remember that Mr. Ma, the bone refiner when I was young, once said that I was born with spiritual bones, so he was almost boiled by him to refine medicine.

However, I am a soul body now, and my body and bones are in the human world. How can the old woman know that I am born with a spirit bone? Besides, I am in a state of a soul, so what is the use of spirit bones?
"I'm sorry, Uncle Yan, I'm not a dead soul. This world doesn't belong to me. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Grandma Long to keep me. I still have a lot of things to do in the world. Might stay."

After I said this, Uncle Yan's expression was very ugly. Ah Jiu looked at him, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, as if he smiled lightly, and said lightly: "I know, you are very unwilling in your heart, but with a bowl of Wangyou Tea, in exchange for your daughter's safety, should be enough. Even if you stay with Grandma Long, you should. Besides, in this place, you can pick the Qingming fruit as you like. What's not to like? You don't have to Don't worry, I'll talk to Grandma Long later."

Uncle Yan didn't say a word, but just lowered his head, with a complicated expression on his face. I suddenly thought of something, and asked tentatively, "Uncle Yan, are you missing your family members and your daughter?"

He raised his head and said with a wry smile: "You are right. No matter how good this place is, it is not as happy as the world. I would rather go to reincarnation, even in the poorest family, than suffer here..."

Ah Jiu sneered and said, "Before you, there were a few people, but they all spent hundreds of years here and completed their meritorious deeds before Grandma Long let them go to reincarnate, and they were all cast in wealthy families. You have only been here for a few days, so you can't wait to leave, besides, Grandma Long said that she wanted to keep him as an apprentice, but she didn't say that she would stay to take over from you."

Uncle Yan stared blankly at him, then at me, and finally sighed: "Since this is the case, then, then I am in a hurry. To be honest, I just miss my daughter. She has no mother since she was a child, and now she is even more worried. I'm lonely, I don't know..."

He wanted to continue talking, Ah Jiu waved his hand and said: "Go back and tell Grandma Long that this person should not die, and he is my friend. If she really wants to take an apprentice, she is not in a hurry."

Uncle Yan hesitated for a while, but finally stomped his feet, turned around and left.

Ah Jiu watched him go away, then turned around, and said: "Don't worry, I have come here with my master since I was a child, and I know Grandma Long, she loves me very much, and she will not embarrass me if I say it."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly took my hand, closed his eyes for a while, opened his eyes and said, "Do you want to go back now, or wait until Qing Minguo's adverse reaction has passed before going back?"

I couldn't help being stunned, so soon, I will face another multiple choice question.

However, I was stunned for a while, and a sinister voice came from nowhere again.

"Hey, do you want to leave? It's not that easy..."
