Chapter 19: Walking the Yin Don't let them find out they can see? Zhang Jiuyang was a little confused and was about to ask, but suddenly he felt an inexplicable chill. It felt as if damp cold wind was blowing into every bone in my body, and I was naked from head to toe. Zhang Jiuyang actually looked a little dazed, as if the three fires on his body were about to be blown out. Fortunately, he had just completed the Fire Dragon and Water Tiger Diagram, and the magic power in his body was not only as flexible as his arms, but also several times more refined than before. As he put it into practice, he gradually dispelled the terrible chill. Wow! Zhang Jiuyang heard the sound of chains. The sound was not sharp, but he felt his soul trembling with an inexplicable fear. The chirping of cicadas around me disappeared at some point, the starlight disappeared, the bright moon was nowhere to be seen, and it was so quiet that I could even hear my own heartbeat.
Ali was trapped in a black doll by a master's spell. The doll was only the size of a palm, and its facial features were vaguely visible. This is a Yin doll, which is often a burial object in a tomb. It is nourished by the Yin energy of the tomb and is very suitable for being possessed by ghosts. Uncle Jiang looked at his daughter deeply, and then walked towards the direction of the sound of the chains. There was no fear in his expression, but rather he seemed quite calm. This kind of demeanor is definitely not that of ordinary people. Zhang Jiuyang glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and then his pupils condensed, and he quickly lowered his head. Not far away, in a hazy white fog, two tall figures appeared. Their faces could not be seen clearly, but they were definitely not human! The big hand covered with red hair held a heavy chain, which was stained with dark red blood and rotten copper rust. Uncle Jiang walked over and stretched out his hand as if he wanted to gesture something, but the next moment two chains shot out from the white mist, directly tearing Uncle Jiang's soul and body apart, piercing his scapula. Drops of blood flowed and then turned into negative energy and dissipated. Uncle Jiang continued to gesture with trembling hands, but was yanked hard by the two figures. He fell into the mist and disappeared. Zhang Jiuyang couldn't help but take another look. Perhaps his movements were a little obvious, the two tall figures who were about to leave suddenly stopped and slowly turned around. Two red lantern-like eyes can be vaguely seen in the white mist. In an instant, Zhang Jiuyang felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. It was a feeling of oppression even more terrifying than Yunniang's, as if if he showed any wrongness next, he would be doomed! "Fuck, what are you doing running around like a blind man?" The expert quickly took Zhang Jiuyang's arm and scolded, "If you don't go back, your mother will be waiting anxiously!" Zhang Jiuyang quickly adjusted his state, regained his composure with his strong psychological quality, and demonstrated extraordinary acting skills. His eyes were out of focus and empty, and he was supported by a master as he walked away. The two terrifying eyes were still staring at him, and he did not look away until the two people went far away. Wow! Along with the sound of chains, the two tall figures gradually disappeared in the fog. After a while, the fog completely dissipated and the surroundings returned to calm.
Zhang Jiuyang stopped and said in a deep voice, "Old Gao, what were those two just now? Why was Uncle Jiang captured by them?" The master let out a long sigh and said, "Boy, you almost died just now." "Those two are Yin soldiers!" "Underworld soldiers?" Zhang Jiuyang's eyes moved. Does this world even have the underworld? "I don't know if they are from the underworld, but the ghost soldiers are not like the legend says, they will take souls to reincarnate. They occasionally appear in the human world, and ominous things often happen wherever they go." "We have collected records of the appearance of ghost soldiers over the past thousand years in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. We have discovered that they often appear after major disasters, and in large groups, as if they were marching." "However, the strange thing is that they are not here to escort souls into reincarnation. Even if there are evil spirits doing evil, as long as they don't block their way, they will just ignore them. No one knows what their purpose is." At this point, the expert said solemnly: "But once they find out that you can see, the ghost soldiers will kill without hesitation!" "Someone tried to communicate with them, but not long after, they were found dead at home with extremely horrified expressions." "According to historical records, the people of a city in Yongzhou witnessed a large number of ghost soldiers passing through at night. They thought they were ordinary evil spirits, so they beat gongs and drums in an attempt to scare them away. As a result, the next day..." Eight chilling words uttered from the tall man's mouth. "The whole city, from top to bottom, no one is left alive." Zhang Jiuyang was silent for a long time, his voice a little hoarse. "These are not ghost soldiers at all, they are even more dangerous than evil spirits." "Of course, nothing is absolute. There is a group of special people in this world who can not only negotiate with the Yin soldiers, but can even borrow their power. They have a unique inheritance, and they have both benefited from it and suffered greatly from it." "They are the ones who walk in the dark. Senior Jiang is such a special person." When the master mentioned the three words "walking ghost", his expression was very complicated. "Walking ghost?" Zhang Jiuyang was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Since Uncle Jiang is a ghost, why was he captured by them?" The expert sighed and said, "This is actually not difficult to guess. If you knew what price the ghost walker would pay while gaining power, you would understand." Then, he explained the details about the ghost walker. The so-called Yin-walking people have a special bloodline. Ordinary people will cry loudly when they are born, but children with the Yin-walking people's bloodline will not cry. They will only look at the world with a cold or indifferent look. As they grow older, they will become normal again, no different from ordinary children. However, when they are eight years old, they will gradually begin to have some strange and bizarre dreams, and these dreams are often continuous. "In fact, that was not a dream, but a journey through the underworld. They are born with the ability to communicate between the Yin and Yang worlds, and their souls travel through the underworld. During this process, some people will receive inheritance and become the underworld's messengers in the human world, doing things for them." "However, those who walk in the underworld for many years, shuttling between the Yin and Yang worlds, have too much karma on their bodies, and are destined to be punished by heaven. Therefore, those who walk in the underworld have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and have few relatives." The so-called five evils are widowhood, loneliness, and disability; the three deficiencies are money, life, and power. Zhang Jiuyang suddenly remembered that Ah Li once said that Uncle Jiang was originally a normal person, but later became deaf and dumb due to a serious illness.
When the father and daughter first arrived in Yunhe County, all their money was stolen and they were starving. It was later that Blind Lin gave them a bowl of porridge. It just corresponds to the contents of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings! "Senior Jiang's wife and parents are probably dead, and he himself has become disabled. This is the price of becoming a ghost walker." Zhang Jiuyang asked in confusion: "If that's the case, why do you want to be a ghost walker?" The master sighed: "Rather than saying this is a gifted bloodline, it's better to say... it's a curse." "Senior Jiang wanted to get rid of this curse, so he abandoned his cultivation, changed his name, and stopped serving as a ghost messenger. However, he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape his fate in the end." "It is said that after death, the ghost soldiers will take away the ghost people. Senior Jiang was previously covered by Yunniang's resentment, and the ghost soldiers could not find him for a while. Now that Yunniang is dead, Senior Jiang naturally can't hide." Zhang Jiuyang remained silent for a long time. Before they knew it, the two had returned to Zhang Jiuyang's home. The master patted his shoulder and said, "You are tired too, go and rest early. By the way, Senior Jiang's daughter... you should take care of her." He placed the Yin doll in Zhang Jiuyang's arms. The people in the Imperial Observatory often risk their lives and are in danger of losing their lives at any time, so they are naturally not suitable to be entrusted with anything. The expert knows very well that the reason why Senior Jiang helped many times was to let Zhang Jiuyang take care of his daughter. After the master left, Zhang Jiuyang tore off the yellow talisman on the Yin doll, and the next moment, a soul floated out. Ali hid behind the bluestone, hugged her knees tightly, her small body trembling constantly and making suppressed sobs. She heard everything the master said just now. For a little girl of seven or eight years old, the truth was a little too cruel. But even so, she didn't dare cry too loudly. The well-behaved girl was afraid of being disliked by Zhang Jiuyang. Daddy said that I shouldn’t cry or make a fuss in other people’s homes. Seeing how cautious she was even when crying, Zhang Jiuyang couldn't help but feel pity for her. He walked over and gently stroked her little head. "Don't be afraid, there is still hope." Hearing this, Ah Li was slightly startled, raised her tearful face, and stared blankly at Zhang Jiuyang. "In my hometown, there was once a monkey like this. The ghost from the underworld took his soul away and said that his life span had ended. Can you guess what he did?" Zhang Jiuyang's voice was gentle and calm, which attracted Ah Li unconsciously and reminded her of her father. "He...how did he do it?" There was a hint of helplessness and an inexplicable expectation in the clear voice. "He caused a big disturbance in the underworld, tore up the Book of Life and Death, and not only did he return in a swagger, he also made sure that his descendants were no longer under the jurisdiction of the underworld." "He's really amazing..." Ali said enviously.
"Ali, when one day you become as powerful as him, no one in this world will be able to stop you and Uncle Jiang from reuniting." Ali's eyes suddenly lit up, like stars in the sky. Zhang Jiuyang suddenly laughed out loud, his heroic spirit soaring to the sky. "What the hell is fate, the underworld, the underworld? One day, we will definitely be able to overthrow them and rescue Uncle Jiang!" Ah Li nodded vigorously and followed suit: "What the fuck -" Snapped! Zhang Jiuyang hit her hard and said, "Don't say dirty words, kid." "Oh……" Under the moonlight, two figures, one big and one small, sat leaning against the rocks, bathing in the starlight. "Brother Jiu, what is the name of that monkey? He is so powerful, he must have a name." "Of course, his name is Sun Wukong, nickname..." "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven!" (End of this chapter)
