"Okay, I'll move the boulder for you!"
The powerful Hades said in a muffled voice, occasionally glaring at me.
"Thank you, Lord Hades, you really helped us a lot!"
Master Chu and others clasped their fists towards the powerful Hades.
However, the powerful Hades ignored Master Chu and the others and stared coldly in my direction.
He said to me, "Little Taoist priest, you better watch out. I have already moved the boulder away for you. As for the more than one hundred ghost pills, I did not take them. The thirty ghost pills you offered voluntarily, and I did not force you to do so. I warn you, do not tell anyone about this to the underworld, or I will not let you off easily."
When I heard this, I knew that the powerful God of the Underworld was very angry.
I quickly put on a smile and said loudly, "Lord Hades is right. You have said so much. If we dare to say anything more, it would be too disrespectful to you. Besides, you helped us this time. We can't thank you enough!"
"snort!"
With a cold snort, the powerful Hades said nothing more.
Then the blood mass where the mighty Hades was located rolled over and over again, slowly enveloping the mighty Hades. But in a flash, when the blood mass dissipated, the shadow of the mighty Hades had already returned to the underworld.
Seeing that the powerful Hades had left, Master Chu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Xiao Junmin came to me with a smile on his face.
He squinted his eyes and smiled as he said, "Brother Yang, I didn't expect your master to know even the affairs of the underworld. He is truly a supernatural being! I, Xiao, really admire him very much. If there is a chance, I hope I can meet your master. Maybe then we can become close friends!"
This old guy is really shameless. He can even be my confidant. Ugh!
I was also secretly complaining about Xiao Junmin. But soon Master Chu and others came over and asked about my master, but I rejected them all.
I thought about it and figured, since they want to see my great master, they'll have to pay a price.
Then, I said to everyone around me: "My fellow Taoists, my master's family is still practicing Taoism in the mountains, and may not come out for a long time. But once he comes down the mountain, I will notify you as soon as possible."
Having said that, my eyes fell on the two small cloth bags containing ghost pills on the ground.
There are more than a hundred ghost pills in those two small cloth bags, with a value of more than two million.
"Ahem!" He coughed twice in a fake way.
After a while, I smiled and said, "But, fellow Taoists, my master has a very strange temper, and you can't see him just because you want to. Let me reveal a secret about my master to you!"
When they heard me mention the word "secret", Master Chu and others showed excitement on their faces.
"What secret?"
Master Qi was the person who wanted to meet my master the most. When he heard me tell him my master's secret, his eyes lit up.
"Yeah, what's the secret?"
"Brother Yang, why don't you keep me in suspense? Tell me now?"
Long Yuanda stood beside and urged.
I looked thoughtful, and after a while, I sighed and said, "Well! Well, since you all want to see my master, I will reveal a secret about my master to you. But after I tell you this secret, you can't spread it to others!"
"No, no... We won't let anyone know! We are all tight-lipped people. We won't let anyone know about your master's secrets!"
Master Qi said repeatedly.
The others also nodded their heads like chicks pecking at rice.
Then I said, "Well, I will tell you this secret.
... ... Actually, besides being a powerful magician and a master of Taoism, my master has another secret, which is that he is extremely greedy for money!"
When Master Chu and the others heard me say that my master's family was greedy for money, they were stunned.
"Brother Yang, you are kidding, right? Your master's family members are all great masters, why are they still greedy for money?"
Long Yuanda looked incredulous.
The others also looked suspicious.
Seeing this, I waved my hands and said, "Since everyone doesn't believe it, then I can't do anything. Anyway, I have already told you this secret. Even if you don't believe it, I can't do anything."
"But if my master comes down the mountain, I'm afraid you want to see him. If you don't prepare something in advance, it will be a bit difficult! After all, not everyone can see the master!"
After saying that, my eyes turned to the two small cloth bags on the ground again.
Long Yuanda's eyes were sharp, and when he saw me staring at the two bags, he immediately said with a smile, "Hey, how could we not believe what Brother Yang said? After all, you are the disciple of that master, and you seem to be trusted by him. We believe what you say!"
Having said this, Long Yuanda winked at Master Chu and Xiao Junmin.
Master Chu and Xiao Junmin were not fools either. When they saw Long Yuanda glance at the two small cloth bags on the ground, they immediately understood what was going on.
Although the ghost pills in the two cloth bags are very valuable and attractive to Master Chu and others, the attraction of being able to meet the "master" is obviously greater.
Master Chu spoke up at this time, and said loudly: "Everyone may have seen what happened just now. If it weren't for Brother Yang, I'm afraid we would all have been tricked by the Hades. Now the Hades has moved the big rock, and we are all out. This is all thanks to Yang Tianyi. If it weren't for him, the Hades might have asked for a lot!"
"Well, I, Chu Tiande, have decided to give all the ghost pills in those two cloth bags to Brother Yu Yang! Do you have any objections?"
As soon as Master Chu finished speaking, he received responses from Long Yuanda, Xiao Junmin, Master Qi and others.
Lou Xiaoman, who was standing aside, curled her lips, but she didn't say anything.
I quickly replied, "Master Chu, this is not good. After all, there are more than a hundred ghost pills. If you only give them to me, I, Yang Tianyi, can't afford it. After all, when we invited the Hades, you five masters put in a lot of effort."
"If I were the only one to take the ghost pill, I would really feel a little ashamed."
After hearing what I said, Master Chu was stunned.
He looked at Master Xiao and Master Qi standing next to him. Seeing that neither of them had any reaction, Master Chu spoke again: "In that case, I think we should..."
But how could I refuse the ghost pill given to me for free
When Master Chu said this, I hurriedly said, "However, since you all mean well, I, Yang Tianyi, will not be polite. After all, you are all masters in the industry, and I am just a rookie. You can get a lot of ghost pills by simply saving the souls of ghosts or killing a few little ghosts, but it is a bit difficult for me!"
"Besides, this is all out of your kindness. If I don't accept it, I'd be letting you down. In that case, I, Yang Tianyi, won't be polite!"
Afterwards, I ignored Master Chu and the others. I went straight to the two small cloth bags, bent down, and put all the ghost pills in the two small bags into the cloth bag on my body.
Master Chu and the others stood there stiffly, with changing expressions on their faces.
I don't know what they are thinking. But there is no need to think, most of them are still hurting because of the more than 100 ghost pills that went into my pocket.
But I quickly changed the subject
He said, "Now that we have come out of the cave, let's go find that Taoist Yang Chen. It's getting late! ... By the way, two of our fellow Taoists died tragically in the cave. They were killed by those damn ghosts!"
"I wonder how we should deal with the bodies of Master Chu's two Taoist friends?"
After I asked this question, Master Chu and others no longer cared about what happened just now.
Master Chu said, "From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes. Master Li Bowei and his apprentice are both dead, but they were Taoists after all. When they joined this profession, they had already obeyed the will of heaven. It is fate that they died here today!"
"We just need to liberate their souls and turn their bodies into dust!"
Master Chu meant to burn their physical bodies.
After all, we are all Taoists in the same profession, so the deaths of Li Bowen and Yu Haidong also make us very sad.
But to be honest, since Taoist priests joined this profession, they no longer value their lives. Because they are helping people get rid of disasters and exorcising ghosts and monsters, when we join this profession, we are actually ready to sacrifice ourselves at any time.
It’s just that Li Bowen and his apprentice Yu Haidong died early.
Then Master Chu and others used the fire talisman to burn the bodies of Li Bowei and Yu Haidong. As for their souls, they were also saved.
Because someone had died, when we all recited the "Nirvana Mantra", we were all very sad in our hearts.
However, I found that when Li Bowen and Yu Haidong's souls flew into the Yin-Yang Road, their good deeds turned into white mist that diffused around them.
There was obviously more white mist on Li Boweni's body than on Yu Haidong's body.
This is a bit similar to the golden light that emanated from the old ghost when I was in the crematorium to save him.
The old ghost had Buddha's light in his soul.
The souls of Li Bowen and Yu Haiming are filled with the light of good deeds.
Master Chu saw my puzzled expression and explained to me, "That is the light of hidden virtue, which is also a kind of proof of being a Taoist priest. People with this light of hidden virtue will be treated well when they enter the underworld. They will not be like those evil spirits who will suffer in purgatory."
"And Brother Yang, let me tell you, if a Taoist priest has enough good karma, he will not only be treated well in the underworld, but he may also be promoted to a ghost official in the underworld."
"What? Promoted to a ghost official?"
I was surprised.
This is the first time I've heard of this.
Master Chu couldn't help but frown when he saw me like this.
He looked at me puzzledly and said, "Brother Yang, everyone in the Taoist profession knows this common sense. You don't know it, do you? Didn't your master tell you?"
I smiled awkwardly and said, "I really didn't tell you. Maybe my master thought this matter was too insignificant, so he didn't tell me."
“That should be it!”
Master Chu nodded and said.
At that time, I also developed a strong interest in accumulating good deeds.
I thought to myself, if I could become the person with the highest attainments and the most good karma in the entire industry, then even after I die, maybe the King of Hell would make an exception and promote me to a high-ranking official in the underworld!
Bah, bah, bah, but it’s better to be alive.
And if I could accumulate more good karma, I would be more than happy to do so.
Just as we finished dealing with the bodies of Li Bowen and Yu Haidong and walked out of the cave, in the dark night, a bright golden light suddenly appeared in the first direction not far from here.
At this time, Long Yuanda, whose Sky Eye was still open, said quickly: "Not good, that red-gold light contains elixir energy. Maybe that Taoist Yang Chen will soon refine the 'Regeneration Pill'!"
