Chapter 698: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 70

This time, she asked for help. Ruyi looked at the people in front of her whose wounds had not yet healed, so she could only agree. If she didn't agree, would she just watch them die? Her mission in this world was almost completed, except for this last Black Mountain Old Demon.

"Great, then let's go now!" Ning Caichen didn't care about this world or that world. He only knew that Ruyi was very strong and with Ruyi's help, his chances of winning would be greater. He immediately felt relieved and was ready to take everyone to Montenegro with a smile on his face.

“Wait a minute!” Yan Chixia frowned and stopped Ning Caichen, saying, “The Black Mountain Old Demon is the Lord of the Wrongful Death City in the underworld. I believe Miss Fu must have been captured by him and taken to the underworld. We can’t find Miss Fu in Black Mountain. We must go to the underworld to rescue her!”

"Go to the underworld?!" Zhiqiu Yiye was surprised. Although he had learned the ability to leave his body, because he was not very skilled and had never had any chance to practice, he had only used it once when he entered the world of Painted Wall ten years ago, and had never been to the underworld.

"I... I've never been to the underworld. I heard that the passage of time in the underworld is different from that in the human world. Also, living people are not ghosts and cannot be reincarnated. After entering the underworld, they won't know the way!"

“It doesn’t matter. After everyone’s soul leaves the body, the physical body will remain in the human world, so someone must help protect it. Zhiqiu Yiye, you and the little monk Shifang stay together. The three of us, Taoist Yan, Master Baiyun and I, will go.” Ruyi still remembered how Zhiqiu Yiye died in the original plot, so naturally he would not agree to let him enter the underworld.

"Aren't Ning Caichen and Miss Fu still here in the world? If not, there's still the young monk Shifang. I don't need to stay, right?" Zhiqiu Yiye laughed dryly and tried to persuade Ruyi.

Ruyi can reveal her personal information, but she cannot reveal the fate of the people in this world. Seeing that Zhiqiu Yiye insisted on going, she really didn't know how to stop him. What she was most afraid of was that she and Yan Chixia would go to the underworld first, and Zhiqiu Yiye would follow them secretly without them noticing. So she had to find a way to dissuade Zhiqiu Yiye from going to the underworld.

Yan Chixia and Master Baiyun looked at each other, and seeing that Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye were arguing, they advised in unison: "Why don't you two stay? We two old guys can go to the underworld to look for someone."

Buddhism and Taoism coexist in the underworld. Both the Taoist Yan Chixia and the monk Master Baiyun have some understanding of the situation in the underworld. It is safest for the two of them to go there.

"Don't forget, the ghosts' favorite thing is merit, which can help them be reborn in a good way in the next life. The second thing is incense, which can help them increase their cultivation and fill their stomachs."

Yan Chixia gave a gentle reminder, and Ruyi suddenly realized it.

Although Ruyi has a high level of cultivation and great strength, it is difficult to hide her aura, especially after her soul leaves her body. It becomes even more obvious. After all, Ruyi's real body is her soul, and her main focus of cultivation is also her soul. Without the cover of the flesh, the power of merit in her body is mixed with the remaining incense scent after absorbing the incense clone. When she arrives in the underworld, she becomes the most charming eye-catcher that cannot be avoided no matter what.

"Then I'll stay up there and wait for you!"

There was no time to lose. Since everything had been arranged, Yan Chixia and Master Baiyun did not hesitate. They made preparations before it got dark. As soon as it got dark, they sat cross-legged and performed magic to enter the underworld.

"This is a soul-calling bell. Once it rings, it means the time is up and the souls of the living cannot stay in the underworld any longer. So once you find this thing ringing, you must start calling the souls in my and the old monk's ears, three times to the left, three times to the right."

"Remember, we must call the soul when it rings. Otherwise, if we haven't returned by the time limit, we will never be able to return. Do you understand?" Yan Chixia took out the soul-calling bell from his arms and handed it to Ruyi solemnly. Ruyi naturally knew that this was not something that could be taken lightly, and he also solemnly took the soul-calling bell and promised: "Master Yan, don't worry."

"Zhiqiu Yiye, Shifang, Ning Caichen, and Second Miss Fu, you are responsible for finding Miss Fu's body in Black Mountain. Miss Fu is a living person, and living people cannot be taken to the underworld."

"So, her body must be hidden in this black mountain. If we find Miss Fu's soul in the underworld and bring her back, but she is unable to return to her body for a long time, Miss Fu will die."

"The Black Mountain Old Demon's consciousness should have returned to the underworld. When we go to the underworld, you should take this opportunity to find Miss Fu's body!"

Master Baiyun was indeed an accomplished monk. He and Senior Yan Chixia explained the matter of saving people clearly. Everyone nodded in agreement. Out of concern for his apprentice, Master Baiyun thought about it and told the young monk Shifang: "Shifang, remember to carry the golden Buddha with you. If you encounter any powerful monsters and cannot defeat them, just uncover the red cloth covering the golden Buddha. Shifang, do you remember?"

"Yes, Master, Shifang has remembered it." The young monk Shifang looked at Master Baiyun with some concern. He knew that this trip to the underworld was not an easy one. His master's injuries had not healed yet, and his cultivation had not recovered much. It was very likely that he would be in great danger this time.

But he could not stop Master Baiyun's decision, because that was the creed that Master Baiyun had always adhered to.

"Okay, old monk, it's time for us to go!" Yan Chixia also knew that this trip was very dangerous. He had already experienced the horror of the Black Mountain Old Demon. He almost killed himself when he wanted to deal with just a clone. This time, the one in the City of the Dead in the underworld was the real body. What's more, there were so many resentful souls who died unjustly in the City of the Dead. If he was not careful, he would really capsize.

Soon, Yan Chixia and Master Baiyun's souls left their bodies, opened the gate to the underworld and sneaked in. Ruyi stayed at their bodies and stared at the soul-calling bell. Zhiqiu Yiye and the little monk Shifang acted separately, one leading another into Black Mountain to look for Fu Qingfeng's body.

Zhiqiu Yiye was with Ning Caichen, and the little monk Shifang was with Fu Yuechi. They did not dare to delay at all and quickly entered the searching mode.

In the underworld, Fu Qingfeng finally saw other people. Two women dressed as maids entered the room and came to Fu Qingfeng. They helped Fu Qingfeng up, one on the left and one on the right, and took her out.

As soon as he went out, Fu Qingfeng saw a very strange scene. The huge hall of the City of the Dead was decorated with red silk that mopped the floor. It was obviously a dark city of the underworld, but with the contrast of the red silk, it seemed less gloomy and more warm.

Seeing Fu Qingfeng coming out, all the guests in the hall who came to drink started to make a noise, praising Fu Qingfeng's beauty and toasting the Black Mountain Old Demon in front of them, "This new wife is so beautiful, the Black Mountain King is so lucky!"

"Hahahahahaha!" The Black Mountain Old Demon was very proud and accepted all the drinks that everyone offered. He was already regretting that he didn't get the last beauty he liked, but he didn't expect to be so lucky as to meet a beauty like Fu Qingfeng again. This time, the Black Mountain Old Demon will not let her get away again!
