"Master, why do I feel like there are more ghosts recently?"
In the charity cemetery, Russell watched Uncle Jiu perform a ritual. There was a cross and a dead bat on the incense table, and he was a little confused.
But he didn't ask in detail, but talked about his recent discoveries.
"I went back to Renjia Town yesterday and found that Master, even though you hadn't been there for a few days, there seemed to be a lot more ghosts in that place."
Russell said in surprise, is it so easy for ghosts to be born now? If this continues, the world will be in chaos.
Speaking of this, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but be silent for a while, then he sighed.
"It's normal, because there's a war going on in the south. I heard tens of thousands of people died. The war has been going on for a long time, and the world is full of evil spirits, so naturally there are more ghosts and monsters."
This is what it means when a country is about to perish and evil spirits abound.
this…
Russell opened his mouth, a little dazed for a moment. He had stayed in the comfortable place of Renjia Town for so long that he had actually forgotten that this was a very turbulent era and that wars had been fought for decades.
People die in wars, and when there are dead people there are wronged souls, and there is a lot of resentment, so how can there not be many ghosts
"In fact, there is another reason, which is related to the underworld."
"The underworld?"
Russell blinked curiously. What does the increase in ghosts have to do with the underworld? Are they just being lazy
"yes!"
Uncle Jiu paused for a moment as he was lighting the incense sticks, looking somewhat melancholy. “The spiritual energy of this world is about to wither. They are all gone.”
From ancient times to the present, those who practice Taoism have been like carp crossing the river, ushering in one prosperous era of Taoism after another, and there is no telling how many heavenly masters there are in one era.
But gradually the spiritual energy became scarce, Liu Bowen cut off the dragon vein, and practicing Moon Flower became difficult. It became increasingly rare for a Heavenly Master to appear, and up to now, there has not been one for nearly two hundred years.
"Gone? Who left?"
Russell was shocked and felt that this routine was so familiar.
"It's the Heavenly Palace. Five hundred years ago, for unknown reasons, there was a great war between the Immortals and Buddhas, and the Heavenly Palace and the Western Heaven broke away from this world."
"Later, the spiritual energy in this world became lower and lower, and the underworld has reduced its interactions with the human world to prevent the spiritual energy from spreading to the human world."
Uncle Jiu was very helpless. "It won't be long. In ten or twenty years, the underworld will be completely separated from the human world. By then, this place will become a prison, and there will be no hope of leaving."
Russell opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"Little Russell, don't worry. With your talent, it won't be long before you become a Heavenly Master."
Uncle Jiu comforted Russell, "You will leave with the Maoshan army and go to the underworld to live and practice."
His eyes were somewhat desolate. "Perhaps, you are the last Heavenly Master of Maoshan, and the last inheritance of Maoshan."
It was really hard for him to imagine that if there was no spiritual energy between heaven and earth, would there still be practitioners? Would Maoshan still exist
Could this be the most terrifying calamity in the legend
If not, how terrible would the catastrophe be
"Only a Heavenly Master can leave with Maoshan, so Master, you..."
Russell couldn't help but widen his eyes. Only a Heavenly Master could have this opportunity. This...
"This is just the guess of our master and his friends. After all, it seems that the underworld will not be separated from the human world for a long time. Ha, your master may die of old age by then."
Uncle Jiu was very open-minded. "In the face of the general trend, anyone's power is very small."
"Let's observe what's happening right now and look for the dead priest."
Without waiting for Russell to continue asking questions, Uncle Jiu began to perform a ritual, leaving Russell shocked.
The higher your cultivation level, the more you understand, and the more insignificant you feel.
Russell secretly made a decision in his heart. According to Uncle Jiu's advice, he would first set a small goal and cultivate to become a Heavenly Master.
It seems that only in this way can we have a chance to take the initiative in the future when the underworld separates from the human world.
He looked at the horizon, lost in thought. A bigger world
Russell originally thought that the underworld was very small, but now according to Uncle Jiu, the underworld is surprisingly large, and there are many people in it, and it is a more powerful world.
Aura is like water, the more of it there is, the more fish there are in it, and the fatter and bigger the fish are.
There is a huge difference between lakes and the ocean.
He was also thinking about the great calamity of the millennium that Uncle Jiu had just mentioned. He had heard this term from Uncle Qianhe and Uncle Simu.
What on earth is that!
Just as Russell was lost in thought, Uncle Nine raised his finger, and a ray of fire suddenly jumped between his fingers and waved forward.
The fire suddenly turned into a bright little ball, which went down the red rope and fell into a round plate.
After spinning on the disc for a few times, flames suddenly shot up into the sky and the cloth covering it suddenly swelled up, revealing a Kongming lantern.
This Kongming lantern was also very strange. There was an eight-diagram formation engraved on it, and there were also several yellow talismans engraved inside. In the middle, hanging was the cross that Uncle Jiu found in the basement.
Below the Kongming lantern, an unknown fireball burned fiercely for a long time.
A gust of wind blew, and the Kongming lantern slowly rose and flew towards a certain place.
"Walk!"
Uncle Jiu said something, and then took Russell and followed the Kongming lantern.
The two walked faster and faster. Fortunately, there was no strong wind today, so the Kongming lantern did not fly too fast or too high.
After passing through Jiuquan Town, the two walked further and further away, and seemed to have arrived at a small village.
Uncle Jiu was not surprised. According to the scriptures, there were three priests in total, and they were divided into two groups, one in Jiuquan Town.
So this place, this remote little village, must have a priest and a church!
Sure enough, when he raised his head and stopped to look, he saw a dilapidated church faintly visible among the mountains and forests.
Just like the one in Jiuquan Town, no one has gone in to take care of it. It seems that some taboo was violated and it has been sealed off.
It seems that these two churches were infested with zombies and the priests died tragically. From then on, the incense disappeared.
You believe in the Lord, but the priest can't even kill a vampire. This is indeed a huge blow to those who believe in the Lord.
But this is none of Uncle Jiu’s business. After all, he is just here to find zombies, and as long as the zombies don’t come out to harm people, it’s fine.
But the Kongming lantern did not float towards the church. Instead, it swayed back and forth in one place. This gave Uncle Jiu a bad feeling.
How did the priest-turned-zombie escape
"Hurry up, I'm afraid something went wrong."
Uncle Jiu took a few quick steps, and Russell followed quickly behind him. Now he no longer had short legs, but could run very fast.
At this time, the Kongming lantern slowly fell down, not because it found the zombie, but because the Kongming lantern flew too far and could no longer fly.
But Uncle Jiu was not panicked. He confidently stretched out his right hand and said, "Let me count with my fingers."
He just didn't believe that they couldn't find a priest at such a close place, but he was soon proven wrong. No matter how hard Uncle Jiu counted on his fingers, the baby just couldn't be born.
"Haha, Master, it seems that these foreign devils are not your responsibility, oops!"
Before Russell could finish showing off, he got slapped on the head.
"Little guy, go find it quickly!"
“You are exploiting child labor!”
"Oh, you're right. I am exploiting you. Is that illegal?"
Facing Russell's wide eyes, Uncle Jiu raised his eyebrows, complacently took out a penny from his pocket and stuffed it into Russell's hand.
"I gave you money, but it's not like I'm taking advantage of you for free!"
Russell: …
I suspect that you are possessed by Luo.
