Actually, I originally thought that the Seimei Temple would have a sacred feeling, after all, it was the residence of the first Onmyoji in the history of the island country, but when I walked in, I saw that everything was tattered and looked like a dilapidated temple, and there were many spider webs on the eaves.

As soon as you enter the Temple of Seimei, you will see a spacious courtyard. The decoration is surprisingly similar to that of the Tang Dynasty in China. At the innermost part of the hall there is a portrait of Laozi, which of course is from many years ago. I wanted to take it away secretly at that time. After all, it is an antique. But Su Daji told me not to touch it, saying that there are many mechanisms inside.
It was already quite late. The Qingming Temple was quite large, with rooms everywhere. Bai Lei Zhang only cleaned up the largest hall for us to rest. Seeing that it was getting late, we just got some firewood in the house to make a fire, and then the five of us sat around chatting.
Of course, we didn't forget the main purpose of our visit, the Yin-Yang Record, but Bai Leizhang said that we would have to wait a little longer, so we didn't care. Then we asked Bai Leizhang to tell us what the Li Bridge looked like. Bai Leizhang thought for a moment and said, "The Li Bridge is actually a three-meter-long bridge built over a stream in the backyard. The backyard is divided into two parts, with the river below the Li Bridge as the boundary. Legend has it that once you cross the Li Bridge, you will reach a place where Yin and Yang are separated."
Su Daji nodded repeatedly as she listened to Bai Leizhang's words, and then asked, "How long has it been since Brother Bai came back?"
Bai Lei Zhang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said, "When I was a kid, I liked to come here to play, but after I grew up, I didn't come here often." I don't know if Bai Lei Zhang noticed something, but he said, "Don't think too much, I've brought you to the ancestral house, I don't mean any harm."
"Brother Bai, you think too much." I smiled. Of course, I definitely didn't think so in my heart. On the contrary, the more Bai Leizhang said this, the more I felt that there was something wrong with him. Maybe it was because of a preconceived notion. Anyway, it felt like whatever he said or did was going to do something disadvantageous to us.
Then the atmosphere quieted down. Old man Li Shigao was listening to music on an MP3 player, looking quite relaxed, while Brother Qingfeng was sleeping soundly beside him. I was also bored, staring at the fire in a daze. Time passed little by little, and soon it was eleven o'clock at night. Bai Leizhang said, "Get ready, that Teng Snake is not simple."
I nodded, and suddenly I felt a little excited. After working so hard for so long, I was finally going to find the second volume. Although the first volume was in Black Mother's hands, this second volume should have the method to extend my life. Li Shigao also put away his MP3, took out the peach wood sword, and prepared himself with his own talismans. Brother Qingfeng did the same, checking if he had forgotten anything. I also took a look and found the Emperor's Sword, four 'Nine Star Talismans' and six 'Falling Banner Talismans'.
I did not bring the 'Five Thunderbolts Talisman' this time, mainly because I used it up last time and haven't had time to draw it. Also, the power of the 'Five Thunderbolts Talisman' is not that great in this situation, so it probably won't be of much help. Although the 'Nine Star Divine Talisman' will cause harm to me, I don't know if there is any danger this time. Anyway, I have used it so many times before, so using it one or two more times probably won't be a problem.
Bai Lei Zhang and Su Daji didn't seem to have made any preparations, and then our group of five walked towards the backyard. We walked to the back of the hall, and then walked through two long corridors to the backyard. When we arrived at the edge of the backyard, the backyard looked quite large. It was a square with a length and width of about 100 meters, and there was only one door for us to enter. There was a small stream running across the middle of the square yard, and in the middle there was a three-meter-long and one-meter-high bridge, with two stone lions on each side of the bridge.
As soon as I saw the Li Bridge, I said, "Is this the Li Bridge? It's quite famous, but it doesn't look that great." This is true. The Li Bridge looks too ordinary and plain. I even doubt whether there are any demons on it.
Su Daji chuckled and said, "You underestimate this courtyard. Qingming spent a lot of effort to build this Li Bridge. This Li Bridge may look simple, but it is one of the few places that can lead directly to the underworld. As far as I can remember, there is really no other place that can lead directly to the underworld except the Fengdu Ghost City in Chongqing."
I was also secretly shocked, looking at Li Qiao and asked, "Can this place lead to the underworld?"
Su Daji nodded and said, "Well, you can go, but you can't go back. The yard on the other side is a space of its own, and the Yin-Yang Record is just across the bridge. In fact, there should be many difficulties on the other side after crossing the Li Bridge. If you are not careful, you may be led into the underworld."
It turns out that you can only enter but not exit. However, if you can enter and exit, this place would be really against the will of heaven. Moreover, there are no underworld officials guarding it. Although the Fengdu Ghost City mentioned by Su Daji can allow ghosts to enter and exit, it is definitely guarded by underworld officials. You may feel that returning to the world of the living or entering the underworld is quite easy. Ahem, in fact, you all look at my experience. I have been in and out of the underworld many times and it may seem easy. However, as mentioned before, there are only three people in China who can easily enter the underworld. If others want to enter, they must perform a ritual or commit suicide. If they do, they must be a Taoist priest of the level of Ling Xiao or Li Shigao in the past to send you down, otherwise don't even think about it.
Brother Qingfeng's eyes also became hot. Brother Qingfeng had been looking for the Yin Yang Record for so many years. He found the first copy, but it was finally snatched away by my master. Now the second copy is no more than a hundred meters ahead. His eyes were naturally hot, and he said, "What should we do now?"
Li Shigao looked at the peaceful courtyard and said, "What are you afraid of? Go ahead, Qingfeng. I support you."
Brother Qingfeng was obviously worried. He looked around and said to Bai Leizhang, "Little Bai, go find a way to lure the monster out from the bridge. We'll kill it first."
Under normal circumstances, I might have dissuaded him, because Bai Lei Zhang's ability seemed not as good as mine, and letting him go would be like asking for death. However, after knowing that this guy might have other intentions, I just stood aside without saying anything, ready to see Bai Lei Zhang's reaction.
Bai Leizhang's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you just have to protect me." Then he walked towards the Li Bridge not far away.
