While we were discussing how to break the huge rock in front of the cave entrance, in a dilapidated little temple in a valley far away near the cave, the gray-robed Taoist Yang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
Outside the ruined temple, there were more than a dozen ghosts with weak souls, trembling outside the small temple. They had just returned from the stone cave.
Taoist Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, his eyes gleamed coldly, and he muttered to himself.
"What a bunch of losers! They can't even handle a few stinky Taoist priests. So many ghosts were killed. What a bunch of losers!"
At this point, Taoist Yang Chen touched the black mole at the corner of his eye and muttered coldly, "However, no matter how powerful you are, what can you do? In less than four hours, my Rejuvenation Pill will be ready. When the time comes, I will start with you upright Taoists and cut you into pieces!"
With a cold snort, Taoist Yang Chen closed his eyes again.
The Regeneration Pill was being nurtured in the pill furnace in front of him. And as blood and energy flowed through the furnace, the surface of the Regeneration Pill became increasingly smooth and sleek.
At this time, from a wooden cage covered with black cloth next to Taoist Yang Chen, there was a creaking sound, as if someone was breaking his own joints.
Hearing that voice, Taoist Yang Chen kept his eyes closed, opened his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I know you are hungry, but now is not the time for you to eat. When those guys get here, it will be time for you to eat."
Soon, the wooden cage became quiet.
Now let’s talk about our side.
The entrance of the cave was blocked, and if you want to get out you need to break the huge rock at the entrance.
But that huge rock must weigh several thousand or even tens of thousands of pounds. It would be unrealistic for us Taoists to push it with our strength alone.
But soon, Xiao Junmin thought of a way, which was to "invite the gods."
"Inviting gods" is also called "inviting the underworld gods", and there are many things to pay attention to. The Yin Yang Soul Crossing Notes says that before "inviting gods", you need to concentrate, be sincere, clear your mind, focus your thoughts, clean your body, face, hands, rinse your mouth, and prepare offerings such as fruits, rice wine, incense and candles.
But now we are trapped in the cave, where can we find incense burners, rice wine, etc. As for concentrating and being sincere, this can be done. But it is difficult to cleanse the body, face, and mouth. After all, there is no water source in the cave.
But even so, Master Chu and others discussed and decided to "invite the gods" for help. Because the huge stone was beyond human power. Among the methods that we Taoists have, only invoking the gods can achieve good results.
But as to whether one can invite a god and what kind of god one can invite, that is all up to fate.
However, this time, the "invitation to the gods" was a little different. Usually, "invitation to the gods" was hosted by one person, but this time, Master Chu and others decided to invite the gods together. In this way, even if there is no purification, they can still move the underworld with sincerity.
After all, the ghost-catching Taoist priests are also serving the underworld, and the underworld always has to show some favors.
Soon, Master Chu and others placed simple things in front of the big stone at the entrance of the cave. Because there was no incense burner, rice wine, etc., in addition to sticking three incense sticks on the ground, each of us offered two ghost pills.
When I took out the ghost pills, I felt very uncomfortable. I was unwilling to give up something I had already obtained. Of course, I was not stingy. It was mainly because it was the first time I got so many ghost pills.
You know, a ghost pill is worth tens of thousands of dollars, which is real RMB.
Afterwards, nearly thirty ghost pills were piled in front of the big rock, with incense sticks in front of the ghost pills.
There were five people participating in the "inviting gods" this time, namely Chu Tiande, Qi Guangcai, Long Yuanda, Qiao An and Xiao Junmin.

We sat side by side with our eyes closed, cross-legged, and clasped our hands in front of us.
They were all chanting incantations to "invite the gods", and as the incantations became faster and faster, I found that the good energy on their bodies was slowly emanating from the top of their heads and continuously gathering in an open space in front of them.
Not long after, the Yin De energy released by the five people was like a small white cloud falling on the ground, and a small piece of condensed white gas appeared in front of them.
At this moment, Master Chu and the others opened their eyes and bit their fingers. They raised their hands and flicked the blood from their fingertips into the air mass formed by the white Yin De Qi.
As five drops of blood were injected, the rolling white gas suddenly turned blood red, and the blood color became increasingly intense.
As the blood continued to roll, the three incense sticks stuck on the ground began to burn rapidly.
But in just a few minutes, the three incense sticks burned out.
Immediately afterwards, the nearly thirty ghost pills began to tremble slowly.
The "inviting gods" spell is still going on.
Master Chu and others sat there cross-legged, as if they had entered a mysterious state.
Soon, a dull sound came from the blood clot. When they heard the sound, not only did Master Chu and others who were sitting cross-legged on the ground show joy on their faces, but even those of us standing behind them were also shocked.
There was a sense of vicissitudes and heaviness in the voice, as if it had traveled through space, but it was not very real.
That was the voice of Hades.
Xilan's master Lou Xiaoman, who was standing next to me, said softly, "It seems that this 'invitation to the gods' should be very successful. It won't take long for Master Chu and the other five to invite the underworld god down. I just don't know what kind of god they can invite from the underworld?"
Everyone stared at the rolling blood pool with burning eyes.
As the blood clot continued to grow and roll, the trembling ghost pills flew up from the ground one after another, flew towards the blood clot and fell into it.
Immediately afterwards, the ghost pill merged into the blood clot.
After a while, I heard bursts of chewing sounds.
There is no need to think about it, it must be the invited God of the Underworld who is enjoying those ghost pills.
It is introduced in the Yin Yang Soul Crossing Notes that "inviting gods" requires not only the piety of the Taoist priest, but also the preparation of offerings when inviting gods. Whether the person inviting gods is pious or not depends on whether the underworld gods can be invited. In addition, the quality of the offerings also determines whether the underworld gods can be invited.
This is somewhat similar to the "human affairs" in the world of the living. You pay money to get things done, and the more money you pay, the easier it is to find reliable people to do the work. It seems that the ghost pill is still very attractive to the underworld god, otherwise it would not be invited.
What I didn’t know was that the control over ghost pills in the underworld is actually very strict. Even for the God of Hell in the underworld, it is not easy to get a few ghost pills.
Just when everyone was concentrating on staring at the blood clot, I accidentally glanced and found that the young Taoist priest Yu Haidong who was standing behind me was gone.
I looked around subconsciously, but still couldn't find Yu Haidong.
Sister Xilan saw me looking back and asked me in a low voice, "Brother Tianyi, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
I thought about it and said, "Sister Xilan, that's not right. I remember that Yu Haidong was standing behind me. But now he is gone!"
"Yu Haidong?"
Sister Xilan knows that the Yu Haidong I am talking about is the apprentice of the middle-aged Taoist priest Li Bowen.
She frowned and looked back, but did not see Yu Haidong.
The space inside the cave was not very large, but the firelight illuminated the situation inside the cave quite clearly.
Besides, there is no other exit in the cave.
"It's true! Yu Haidong really isn't here!"
"But how could a living person suddenly disappear?" Sister Xilan said in surprise and doubt.
Seeing Zhao Xilan whispering to me, her master Lou Xiaoman
Shi Ze turned his head and said unhappily, "Xi Lan, don't talk too much, so as not to disturb Master Chu and others in their prayer to the gods."
When you are "inviting gods", you cannot be interrupted.
Zhao Xilan looked at me and told everyone about Yu Haidong’s disappearance.
"What? The person is missing!"
Lou Xiaoman couldn't help but frown.
Later, she began to check the surroundings with a vigilant look, but she still couldn't find Yu Haidong. At this time, everyone else also knew that Yu Haidong was missing.
For a moment, we all felt incredible and panicked.
Yu Haidong's master, Li Bowei, was particularly anxious. He walked around the cave with a flashlight in his hand, searching every nook and cranny, but still could not find Yu Haidong.
It was as if Yu Haidong had disappeared from the face of the earth.
No, there must be something fishy going on here, otherwise how could a living person disappear for no reason? !
At this time, the blood ball floating in front of Master Chu and others was about to devour all the ghost pills.
It was at this moment that in a not very bright corner of the cave, a person's voice suddenly came out.
"I'm here! Are you looking for me?"
Soon, a person walked out slowly from the corner.
It’s Yu Haidong!
But Yu Haidong's appearance gave me a very strange feeling.
His face looked very bleak in the light of the fire, and the look in his eyes was not bright, appearing lifeless and listless.
He walked towards us slowly with a playful smile on his face.
But his smile seemed very evil.
Seeing his apprentice appear, Li Bowei seemed very excited. Without thinking too much, Li Bowei hurried over to ask his apprentice Yu Haidong what happened just now.
I made a gesture to Master Jiang next to me, and Master Jiang understood what I meant.
Then, a red light flashed in Master Jiang's eyes, and his ghost eyes opened.
When Master Jiang pointed his ghost eyes at Yu Haidong, his expression suddenly changed.
He hurriedly shouted, "Not good, Li Bowei, don't go over there, your apprentice has ghost energy, and his body must be occupied by a ghost! !"
But at this time, Li Bowen had already arrived in front of Yu Haidong.
Yu Haidong didn't say anything. He just took out a knife from his arms and stabbed Li Bowen in the chest without hesitation.
"You... Aren't you Haidong? But you look..."
Li Bowei covered his chest, his face showing confusion and pain. Although his eyes were smeared with crow tears, the ghost formation in the cave had not been lifted, so he did not notice the strangeness of Yu Haidong just now.
The "Yu Haidong" smiled and said in a deep voice: "I am Yu Haidong, but I am not your disciple Yu Haidong. He is already dead! As for this body, it belongs to me for the time being!"
After saying that, the "Yu Haidong" raised his hand and pushed away Li Bowen who was in front of him.
Li Bowei's body was shaking, and he could only make unclear sounds when he tried to speak. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell to the ground.
Li Bowei is dead!
His eyes were still open when he died.
Seeing that Li Bowen was about to die, our people quickly took out their magic weapons and prepared to deal with Yu Haidong who was possessed by a ghost.
What we didn't expect was that "Yu Haidong" didn't want to fight with us, but wanted to prevent Master Chu and others from "inviting gods". His purpose, it goes without saying, was to trap us to death in the cave.
Yu Haidong laughed wildly and his face began to distort.
Later, he took out a few black beads from his body.
"Thunder Explosion Bead!"
"That kid has a thunder blasting bead in his hand!!"
Master Jiang reminded in a serious voice.
