This Liao Zhai is not right

"The King of Hell and the Lord of Black Mountain are still fighting in the underworld. To avoid any accidents, we probably have to wait until the underworld soldiers who are fighting against the evil spirits in Jinhua return."

Su Su answered without hesitation.

Chapter 166 Waiting for opportunity

All kinds of cultivation of immortals can be roughly divided into four stages: refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into harmony with the Tao.

From absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refining the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit for his own use, to nurturing the spirit and soul to become the Yin God, and then the Yin God is fully developed, with magic power in his body, he will trigger the arrival of thunder disaster. After passing the thunder disaster, the Yin will give birth to Yang, and after the Yin God is completely transformed into the Yang God, he can appear in the daytime, with shadows in the light, and create things in the void with the magic power of the Yang God. When he thinks, they are born, and when he thinks, they are destroyed. He possesses all kinds of incredible magical powers.

When one has cultivated to this level, strictly speaking, one is no different from an immortal or a god.

If one has a backer in heaven and obtains an edict from the Jade Emperor, his death record will be erased from the Book of Life and Death, and he will be able to ascend to heaven and become one of the immortals.

Among the Eight Immortals of Taoism, He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu were all converted into immortals by Lu Dongbin, which shows their nepotism.

But if one has no backing in heaven and does not intend to walk the earthly world, show one's holiness in front of people and make meritorious deeds, enjoy the worship of the world, and achieve the status of a local immortal, then one can only cultivate to the great success of Yang Shen, or become an immortal of earth, or go through the two disasters of wind and fire to embark on the difficult road of becoming a celestial immortal.

However, for a person like Su Su who has achieved deification through practicing both Qigong and the divine way, her yang spirit has merged with her divine body and is inseparable from it. It resides in a purple gold pill three inches below her navel.

After the Yin Spirit is completely transformed into the Yang Spirit, the vigorous divine power flowing through the heart and limbs and the Yang Spirit magic power contained in the inner elixir combine together, and one will feel that the world is vast, and everything can be seen in detail, and every move of the hands and feet is a law in itself.

He turned his head to look at the small courtyard outside the window, and just by looking at it, his thoughts floated and the magic power of the Yang God stimulated the positive and negative charges to generate flashes of lightning and thunder, which split the recliner in the yard into pieces and dissipated without a trace after losing the magic power to support it.

"The mind follows the thoughts and it comes to you at will. This is far better than the realm of refining emptiness that you have only half a step into."

As his thoughts wandered, the body of the King of Hell appeared, wearing a crown and a tassel on his head, emitting a blurry white light that obscured his face. The person in the loose-waisted crown had a graceful figure and a bright face. The flower ornaments between her brows were like fire, exuding a majestic and solemn demeanor that made it difficult for people to look directly at her. Anyone who had evil thoughts would have their heart burned by the fire of karma even if they just glanced at her.

"The King of Hell's divine body has appeared, and it is even more powerful than before. Moreover, the contents of the cloth in my sight have changed for the first time in a long time."

Su Su looked at the floating words on the cloth thoughtfully. Her divine body and Yang God were intertwined and integrated. After she had completely established herself in the realm of refining emptiness, not to mention that she could not be found in the Book of Life and Death, even the words marking the lifespan on the cloth in her sight disappeared into thin air at some point.

Not only the words marking the lifespan, but also the words marking the divine power disappeared without a trace, leaving only two lines of words with the name and position of the priest.

But what followed was the reappearance of long passages of writing on the cloth.

'The King of Hell judges yin and yang, controls life and death, punishes evildoers, and has great responsibilities. Now the underworld is in chaos and the underworld is corrupt. If we let it go, it may lead to the decline of the gods.'

Looking at the new words appearing on the cloth, Su Su raised her eyebrows and tried to retract the King of Hell's true form to reveal his true form. However, the new words appearing on the cloth slowly disappeared as she expected.

"It seems that King Biancheng's position as the God is not taken for nothing. As the God of Hell, he must be responsible for the chaos in the underworld. There was no relevant writing on this piece of cloth earlier. This shows that only those who have achieved the realm of Yang God through Lianxu Hedao are qualified to interfere in the affairs of the underworld."

One should do his job well when in a position. Although all the affairs of the Sixth Palace of King Biancheng are under the hands of King Yama, and Su Su of the Great Hell of Screaming and the City of Wrongful Death cannot interfere, the responsibility of quelling the turmoil in the underworld cannot be avoided in any way.

However, King Yama is still fighting fiercely with Lord Black Mountain in the underworld, and it will be difficult to end the war in a short time. As a commander without troops, Su Fu can wait for an opportunity to act. It will not be achieved overnight to pacify the underworld and eliminate the chaos, so there is no point in being anxious.

"Then again, the root cause of the chaos in the underworld is that the remnant spirit of the evil god Chi You broke out of the seal and killed people, causing the underworld to flow with blood. Since then, the underworld has seen a chaotic situation in which various ghost kings and demons have risen up to dominate. Demon kings like Heishan Jun who have cultivated into ghost immortals can only rule one side. The situation is far more complicated than what we have seen so far. It is estimated that we need to find out the situation of Guan Sheng's battle against the remnant spirit of Chi You before we can make a plan."

After thinking so much, Su Su thought over and over again and decided that the most realistic thing to do next was to beat up Black Mountain Lord, the fallen dog, after the war in the underworld became clear.

While I was thinking, most of the day passed in a flash.

"I have finished sewing the wedding dress. Come over and try it on."

Just after noon, Su Su saw Heng'e waving at him from the couch. He was immediately startled and quickly hugged his chest-length skirt tightly. He simply refused: "I tried it yesterday, so there is no need today."

"Come here." Chang'e smiled and continued tenderly.

Seeing her expression, Su Su had to swallow back his tears of humiliation. He hugged his clothes tightly with both hands, slowly moved his body, and gently sat down on the couch.

The other party picked up the wedding dress and kept gesturing on Su Su's body, then pulled open her hands that were tightly clasped in front of her body, and looked down with an unsatisfied look at her exquisite figure against the backdrop of her chest-length skirt, and seemed to be eager to play with it.

"We agreed in advance that we would just try on the wedding dress and not do anything else." Su Su said anxiously.

In broad daylight, the main bedroom was illuminated by the sunlight from outside the yard, and if something happened, Nie Xiaoqian, who lived in the side room on the left, would definitely see it clearly through the window. She couldn't stand being seen by others in her embarrassing state of confusion and love.

"It's clear that someone has gotten too excited."

"When you say something like that, can you please stop touching me, dear sister?"

Su Fu stared down at Chang'e's hands, which became increasingly restless during the dressing break, and spoke unhappily until she raised her hands in return, and the other party finally calmed down.

While helping Su Su put on her wedding dress, she said with a sad look in her eyes, "We are newlyweds, can't my husband let me fulfill my wish?"

Facing Chang'e's acting like a resentful woman in the boudoir, Su Su didn't dare to talk to her lightly. She always felt that no matter how she tried to start the conversation, she would be overwhelmed by the other party and then naturally go to bed with her.

Is this okay in broad daylight?

this is not good!

At least until night.

So she had to change the subject: "We have been away from Jinhua for two days. The current situation in the city is unclear. We should go to Jinhua to find out the situation and clear out all the places where people live in the rented courtyard. Otherwise, if the landlord hasn't seen us for a long time and thinks we are doing something outside, it would be fine. But if he thinks we are ghosts and asks a Taoist priest to come and exorcise the evil spirits, it will be troublesome."

Chapter 167 Corpse Transformation

It was not Su Su's sudden decision to go to Jinhua again, but there were indeed many things that needed to be dealt with in Jinhua.

Not only was it necessary to control the subsequent impact in Jinhua after the Dharma carriage of the National Master Pu Du Ci Hang was eliminated by her with the body of the King of Hell, but there was also a need to observe the specific attitude of the City God of Jinhua Prefecture in dealing with this matter.

Even though he only possesses the deity title of King Biancheng, whether it is King Biancheng's priesthood controlling the City of the Dead in the underworld or the Great Hell of Screaming, it has little to do with Su Su for the time being.

But to a certain extent, it is an established fact that she became the Eleventh Yama, which is independent of the Ten Yama system.

As the King of Hell, he has to face the chaos in the underworld.

Guobei County, located in a remote and impoverished area, is the only territory currently held by Su Su, a lone commander. If there is any turmoil in Jinhua, which is only fifty miles to the south over the mountains and hills, Guobei County will be the first to be affected.

People's livelihood outside Jinhua City was in decline, bandits were rampant, and it should have been the government's responsibility to crack down on bandits and stabilize the area.

But as for the imperial court and government of Jinhua City in the Yang World, she certainly did not have the confidence to create a shrine to show off to the world as she did in Guobei County, or even to seize power from the government.

Therefore, if you want to stabilize the situation in Jinhua, you have to start with the City God of Jinhua Prefecture.

She herself did not have the time to replace the position of the City God of Jinhua Prefecture, so she changed her mind and thought that using the position of the King of Hell that Su Su held to command the City God of Jinhua Prefecture could achieve the same effect. He could be submissive and obedient in front of the evil monk Pudu Cihang, wag his tail and beg for mercy like a hound, and send ghost soldiers to capture the so-called wanted criminals for him. Naturally, there was no reason for him to change his face and put on airs in front of her, the King of Hell.

If the City God of Jinhua Prefecture dared to say no, Su Su could deeply participate in the process of testing the City God in the underworld.

As for the reason for continuing to clean up the rental yard, it was just a coincidence.

When purchasing property nowadays, the signing of the property deed only requires stating who the seller and the person handling the property are, and the buyer's name will generally not appear.

Therefore, even if Su Su was an illegal resident without a document to prove his identity, as long as he had money, it would not be difficult for him to buy a rented yard in Jinhua City.

As her thoughts wandered, she expressed her idea of buying the rented yard in Jinhua City to avoid future troubles.

"It's over 3,000 miles from Guobei County to Taiyuan. Even if we travel day and night, it will take at least six or seven days. If something happens on the way, it will take more time. I'm afraid it will take nearly a month to go back and forth. There are so many things that need to be arranged properly."

Taking a shortcut through the underworld to reach Guangping Prefecture and then to Taiyuan, Shanxi could certainly save time on the road, but out of consideration for dealing with the threat from Pu Du Ci Hang, she eventually gave up the idea of taking a shortcut to save time.

Traveling all the way north, it is particularly important to find out how long the forces maintained by the White Lotus Demon in various places can withstand the evil monk Pudu Cihang.

"It's a long journey to Taiyuan, so we should be prepared."

Chang'e nodded in agreement.

After taking her time trying on her wedding dress, Su Su quickly changed back into the ruqun she was wearing and suggested setting off for Jinhua while it was still early.

But the other party asked her meaningfully to draw the small courtyard rented in Jinhua, and pushed the door open like he did yesterday.

Su Su saw through the evil intention hidden in Chang'e's words at a glance. If she really believed the other party's lies, it would only take her less than half an hour to draw a way out of the courtyard and pass through the door. After entering Jinhua City, what would greet her would probably not be the cleaning of the courtyard for habitable houses, nor the mobilization of the power of the Yang God to create furnishings in the courtyard, but she would be directly held down and made to sleep.

Su Su, who knew this very well, would not be fooled easily. After a lot of persuasion, he finally persuaded the other party to give up the idea.

There was no major enemy on the way to Jinhua this time, so there was certainly no need to disguise himself in order to launch a sneak attack without following martial ethics. He left the City God Temple, which was much more empty after the civil and military judges and a group of ghost soldiers came out in full force. As soon as he walked out of the city gate, he met Sun Si Niang on her way back after patrolling the territory of Guobei County at noon.

Seeing the two people in love, Sun Si Niang briefly reported on the situation in Guobei County in recent days. She also mentioned that there were only a few teams of underworld soldiers stationed at the ghost gate of Yizhuang on the outskirts of the city, and there were no more than a hundred of them in total. Then she hurried into the city to avoid them.

"Strange, why do I always feel that she is deliberately avoiding me?" Su Su withdrew his gaze from the background where Sun Si Niang was quickly disappearing, feeling very confused.

She had long anticipated that King Yama would recall the underworld ghost soldiers stationed in Guobei County to go to the battle in the underworld. She just took a few glances from afar when passing by the charity cemetery on the outskirts of the city. She saw that the old men with sloping feet who were guarding the charity cemetery had returned to it, and were busy making thin coffins to bury the remains of the dead, as if nothing had happened. It was obvious that the importance of this ghost gate, the charity cemetery on the outskirts of the city, in the battle between King Yama and Lord Heishan had plummeted.

Leaving the charity cemetery on the outskirts of the city, head straight to the south of the city.

Compared with the official road that can accommodate horses and carriages, the steep mountain road from Guobei County to Jinhua in the south is narrow and winding. On one side is a cliff with rocks and trees, and on the other side is a mountain stream with fast-flowing streams. From time to time, you can see brightly feathered tits flapping their wings and flying through the bushes, and there are also monkeys turning and moving among the treetops, making endless cries.

Walking lightly on the steep mountain road, the mountain road from the south of the city to Jinhua was blocked by mountain torrents caused by heavy rains a few days ago. It had not been cleared yet, so there was no one to be seen for more than 20 or 30 miles.

The journey from the south of Guobei County to Jinhua was peaceful. We hurried on in the afternoon. The sun was setting in the west. Before we knew it, we had walked more than 50 miles of mountain roads and arrived in Jinhua.

"It was a smooth journey. Finally, I didn't run into any accidents during this outing."

Walking out of the steep mountain road, you can see dozens of houses scattered at the foot of the mountain where the stream flows. It can barely be considered a small village.

As we got closer, we heard music and wailing coming from the village. Following the sound, we saw a mourning hall covered with white cloth, with white candles lit and paper money burning.

Outside the mourning hall, there were a dozen young men carrying straw ropes on their shoulders and holding shovels and hoes in their hands. Beyond them were more villagers who were watching the fun.

"It's past noon, why hasn't the funeral started yet?"

"The Feng Shui master said that the death of the Wu family lady was strange, and that the funeral must be held in the afternoon when the Yang energy is at its peak, so that the evil spirit can be suppressed and not harm others."

"The coffin is being opened! The coffin is being opened! Please move aside."

"On the third, seventh, and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people whose zodiac signs are Rooster or Dog turn around and avoid me..."

There was a commotion and a lot of chattering, and Su Su couldn't help but stop and look at the coffin in the mourning hall, which was tied up with straw ropes by a dozen young men. The deep resentment mixed with a strong bloody smell almost rushed towards him.

However, the dozen or so young men in the middle of it and the villagers watching the fun around them were completely unaware of it.

"The evil spirit is so strong that the dead in the coffin will turn into a corpse before midnight tonight."

Chang'e glared at Su Fu fiercely.

Chapter 168 Self-knowledge

The supernatural phenomenon of corpses turning into corpses is not uncommon among the people. Not only will the bodies of people who died unjustly remain uncorrupted with only a breath of resentment left in their throats, but after being buried underground for many years, they will turn into zombies and harm people.

Even if an ordinary person dies in an unlucky way, breaks a taboo, or is disturbed by evil spirits, the coffin may be opened and the corpse may rise to harm people.

When encountering this situation, all you need to do is tie up the feet of the deceased and apply cinnabar between the eyebrows of the deceased. This will disperse the corpse's aura and prevent the body from causing trouble.

Even if the situation is too fierce and the living cannot stop it, they just need to wait until the next day dawn, and the corpses will stop as well.

Of course, this is a response strategy under normal circumstances.

If the deceased kills someone and sheds blood and absorbs human energy after his corpse turns into a zombie, he will completely become a zombie and must be burned to ashes in order to eliminate the evil spirit.

At this time, the dead person in the coffin, who was called the wife of the Wu family, was disturbed by the evil spirit. Once night fell, as the yin energy between heaven and earth gradually increased, she would transform into a corpse. At that time, the dead person would be extremely powerful, with ten fingers as sharp as knives, and could easily poke holes in a tree trunk several people thick.

How can a coffin tied with a few straw ropes stop it?

At that time, these villagers will be caught off guard and they will surely run rampant in the village and kill people everywhere.

"Why are you glaring at me? I don't want to run into any accidents!"

Su Su raised his eyebrows and spoke to Chang'e with an innocent look on his face.

As the King of Hell, it is a piece of cake for him to deal with the dead who are disturbed by evil spirits and are about to turn into zombies.

A wisp of Yangshen magic power outlined the evil-suppressing talisman in Taoist Shan's notebook, and he flicked his finger and threw it into the coffin.

In an instant, the deep resentment that was mixed with the strong blood melted away like ice and snow.

For her, it was indeed a piece of cake.

Watching the villagers carrying the coffin towards the cemetery, Su Su looked around for a few seconds and saw that the cemetery was located on the other side of the stream, on a mound backed by a mountain and facing the water. There were dozens of graves there. Most of the tombstones were written with the surnames Wang and Wu, which were the major surnames in this small village.

"The graveyard faces the sun, and there are no trees blocking the view. There is not much negative energy. It is obviously not a natural place where negative energy gathers and corpses are raised. After the evil energy in the coffin is eliminated, the corpse should not turn into a corpse."

Su Su retracted his gaze and continued on his way: "Let's go quickly. We are only a few steps away from Jinhua City. We must not run into any accidents that delay us."

"It's a good thing someone has some self-awareness." Chang'e said teasingly in a low voice.

When you walk out of the village, you will see the road leading to Jinhua City.

It was not yet evening, and there were many people on the road. Among them were scholars and young men in long gowns and Confucian scarves, who were out for an outing in the picnic, talking to each other about all sorts of things.

However, there was not a single word about the news that Master Pu Du Ci Hang was assassinated outside the city.

The great national master was attacked outside Jinhua city, and not even his entire body was left. However, it did not cause much commotion in the small area of Jinhua. It did not take much thought to know that someone must have intervened.

It is obviously not enough to rely on the dignitaries in Jinhua City alone to handle the matter so quickly. I think the City God of Jinhua Prefecture should also be involved.

"They must have been scared by the fact that the evil monk Pudu Cihang's true form is a centipede monster, otherwise they would never have kept the matter secret, fearing that the news would leak out and Pudu Cihang's true form in Shuntian Prefecture would retaliate. In comparison, it would be much easier for them to deal with the blame from the King of Hell who took action outside Jinhua City to eliminate the imperial master Pudu Cihang's Dharma carriage. They really have a good plan."

Before entering the city, Su Su had guessed the intentions of the City God of Jinhua Prefecture almost exactly.

After walking another seven or eight miles into the city, the City God Temple in the north of Jinhua City was still filled with smoke and incense. Divine light could be seen lingering above the temple, demonstrating the divine power.

However, the Sun Wandering God and the many ghost messengers under his command who were convicted of Da Suoqin in Jinhua City a few days ago were nowhere to be seen.

Returning to the small courtyard rented near Bayong Tower, the layout of the house, which had been mostly cleaned up by Chang'e two days ago, remained the same. Not seeing anyone for just two days was not enough to arouse the landlord's suspicion.
