Chapter 170 Cross-border Departure
"Meng De, you had to pass through the Ghost Street both times you crossed the border. The Ghost Street is the place where Yin and Yang meet, and it is the most peculiar place. Even the disciples of the aristocratic families do not know the mystery. But to enter the Ghost Street, you must visit the witch in Sanyang City. Only the witch has the ability to communicate Yin and Yang and send people to the Ghost Street. It was a witch who helped Zhao Qian to use the dream method to contact you. Fortunately, Meng De, you left blood on Zhao Qian's old clothes, and used blood as a medium to perform the dream method. Otherwise, the witch would have no way."
That morning, Zhao Ge, Rong Niang, Shou Hou, Zhao Qian and others gathered together to send Li Yi home.
Li Yi had also prepared all the bags, big and small.
At this moment, Master Zhao Ge began to talk about how to enter Ghost Street.
"So that's how it is? Using blood as a medium to perform the dream transmission method? But when Master mentioned this, it suddenly occurred to me. I want to keep the blood of this person from all over the world, so that I can come back here next time. Otherwise, without guidance, I can only stay in the ghost street and can't cross the border."
Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately found an empty bottle that was previously used to hold nutrient solution.
"Brother, use my blood." Rong Niang said immediately.
Li Yi shook his head and just called Jin Dafu in, then handed him the bottle: "Find a servant with a family, take a bowl of blood and put it in, not too much, too much will kill people, and give him a little more money after it's done, let him recuperate well, and he will be fine after some time."
"I understand. I will be careful about how much blood to take. No one will be killed." Jin Dafu did it immediately.
"It's the same using the blood of servants. There's no need to waste your own energy and blood." Li Yi said.
Rong Niang nodded and immediately understood.
Blood can be used as a medium to guide the Yin Horse into Sanyang City. It is not necessary to use the blood of people around you.
After a while, Jin Dafu came in with a bottle of blood. "Master, it's done. I gave the servant twenty taels of silver, granted him a month's leave, and gave him ten blood-replenishing pills. I guarantee that he will be full of energy again in a month, and his life will not be harmed."
"Very good, Jin Dafu, during the time I'm away, my master, Rong Niang, Zhao Qian and others will be in charge of the mansion. You must listen to them in everything. If anything happens, Zhao's Martial Arts School will take care of you and will not let you suffer any loss." Li Yi said.
"My master instructed me, and I will never forget it," said Jin Dafu.
Li Yi nodded, then stood up and said, "Master, it's done. I'm leaving now."
Zhao Ge sighed and said, "Have a good trip, Meng De. If you have nothing else to do, come back early. Your master is still waiting for you to become famous all over the world and shake the eight states with your fists."
"Next time I come, I will definitely accompany my master to travel around the world and spread the reputation of Zhao's martial arts school." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Rong Niang, daughter, the two of you take Meng De to the witch and enter the Ghost Street." Zhao Ge then ordered.
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, daddy."
The two responded in unison.
After saying goodbye, the three men rode out of the mansion and headed straight for the City God Temple where the witch of Sanyang City was.
The skinny monkey said, "Master, you are too partial. Why do you let the elder sister go to see the elder brother off? I also want to go and see the elder brother off."
Zhao Ge glared at them and said, "They are women, are you also a woman? Don't you see that Rong Niang and my daughter both like Meng De? Your master is trying to bring the three of them together. You don't have any foresight at all."
"So that's how it is." The skinny monkey smiled awkwardly: "Then why don't you just let the eldest brother marry the two sisters, so that I can also have a drink at the wedding."
"It depends on fate."
Zhao Ge shook his head slightly: "Meng De is a rare talent, with lofty ambitions, not interested in love affairs. He has never touched a woman since he came to Sanyang City, and I think he is still a virgin."
"Master, I am also a virgin. Didn't you say that virgins are very powerful when practicing martial arts? But I don't think so." said the skinny monkey.
"Do you know why you are called skinny monkey? With a physical condition like yours, if you didn't give up women, you would be a pile of dry bones now. How could you have reached the level of marrow training today? After this matter is over, practice hard. The cultivation method taught to you by senior brother is a chance for rebirth. Grasp it. If you still don't get better, just dig a hole and bury yourself to save yourself from embarrassment." Zhao Ge snorted heavily.
The skinny monkey responded sullenly.
now.
Li Yi, Rong Niang and Zhao Qian have already arrived at the City God Temple in Sanyang City on horseback.
Today is not the first day of the new year, so there are very few pilgrims in the City God Temple.
An old lady in her sixties with a wrinkled face is sitting in a corner of the City God Temple, with her eyes closed, her body hunched over, resting.
"Hey, witch, can you send someone to Ghost Street for me? How much will it cost?" Zhao Qian walked over and woke her up.
The witch slowly woke up, and looked around with a pair of cloudy eyes. Finally, her gaze fell on Li Yi, revealing a bit of surprise, but then she said gloomily: "Send someone to the ghost street? Two hundred taels of silver per time, but for this noble man, the price will have to be doubled, and it will cost four hundred taels."
"You old woman are asking for too much." Zhao Qian was furious and raised her fist: "Be careful you're going to get beaten."
"Hehe." The witch smiled but didn't say anything: "He is 400 taels per person. If you go with me, I can do it for free."
Zhao Qian and Rong Niang were stunned for a moment and glanced at Li Yi.
If Li Yi is willing, they can go to the Ghost Street with Li Yi.
"If they don't go, they will stay in Sanyang City. Four hundred taels is four hundred taels." Li Yi said, "Zhao Qian, give me the money."
"You old woman, you're getting a good deal." Zhao Qian snorted and took out a few silver bills and handed them over.
The witch stretched out her skinny hand to take the money, then slowly stood up and said, "Follow me."
Having said that, the witch walked towards the back hall.
The three of them followed, only to find the back hall dim and dark, with old coffins placed on both sides, some of which had incense sticks in front of them. A foul odor accompanied by a strong fragrance filled the air, making people feel very uncomfortable and as if they wanted to vomit.
The witch brought Li Yi to a large coffin and said, "Lie down in it. This coffin will help you enter the ghost street."
Li Yi glanced at Zhao Qian.
Zhao Qian nodded and said it was okay because she had entered the Ghost Street in the same way.
"Do you want to buy funeral clothes? I still have door gods here and I can give you a discount." The witch's gloomy voice sounded in the dim back hall.
"No need, I have a human skin hood which is enough to cover up the breath of living people." Li Yi said.
Anyway, he would use the Yinma to cross the border as soon as he entered the Ghost Street. The extra things were useless to him and were just a waste of money.
As he said that, he took all his bags and lay down in the coffin.
"Brother Yi, remember to come back soon." Zhao Qian said reluctantly.
"Brother, please be careful on the road." Rong Niang said.
Li Yi said: "You two should take good care of Master and practice well. I hope that you will be a master of Qigong when we meet next time. If there is anything urgent, please send me a dream and I will rush to deal with it."
He then handed over a small vial containing his blood to be used as a medium.
"Yeah." After taking the bottle, Zhao Qian nodded solemnly.
After saying goodbye, the witch asked Zhao Qian and Rong Niang to help cover the coffin.
As soon as the coffin was closed, the surroundings instantly fell into darkness.
Li Yi's eyes were shining, and he could see clearly. He found that a large amount of Yin energy was surging around him. This Yin energy was exactly the same as the one on the first night of the New Year. And as he was wrapped in the Yin energy, there seemed to be some inexplicable changes around him.
His body seemed to be sinking continuously.
I don’t know how long I sunk, but after this feeling disappeared, there was no movement around me. Then the negative energy in the coffin slowly disappeared and dissipated, and everything returned to normal.
ended?
Li Yi opened the coffin carefully, but at this time he found that he was no longer in the City God Temple of Sanyang City, but in an old house. There were a lot of paper money and ghost money scattered around, and there was an indescribable chill in the air.
He is familiar with this place.
It was a courtyard on Ghost Street.
"Have I successfully returned to Ghost Street?" Li Yi felt very surprised. He couldn't understand this situation.
It is unbelievable that one can transcend yin and yang just by lying in a coffin.
But perhaps this is the characteristic of this world.
Putting aside his curiosity, Li Yi packed up his things, took out the human skin hood and put it on.
The stench of decay spread out, obscuring his living breath, and Li Yi then quickly walked out of the yard.
After passing through an alley, he successfully came to the horrible ghost street where evil spirits roamed and ghost soldiers roamed. The ghosts here were much more powerful than the ones he encountered on the first night of the New Year. If it weren't for the ghost soldiers managing it, there would be no telling how much trouble there would be. A living person entering here would be seeking death, and it would be impossible to sneak into the ghost street to do business.
"Find a secluded spot, use the Yin Horse where there are few ghosts, and prepare to cross the border back to the danger zone."
With this thought in mind, Li Yi quickly walked through the ghost street.
He didn't dare to use the Yin Horse here because there were too many ghosts on the streets and he was worried about something going wrong.
When Li Yi passed by a familiar alley, he looked over there, only to find that the old man selling mud horses was not there today. The stall was empty and no one occupied it.
It seems that he had good luck both times he came to Ghost Street, as someone was selling mud horses. If he hadn't had this opportunity, he would never have found this opportunistic way to cross the boundary. After all, his talent was at the spiritual realm, and he couldn't reach the level of crossing the boundary, so the world of Four Seas and Eight Continents was very precious to Li Yi.
After all, at present, Li Yi is the only one on Earth who can travel to the four seas and eight continents. This means that he indirectly owns the resources of a world. It’s just that his strength is not strong enough now, so he can’t develop the four seas and eight continents.
But this trip has been fruitful. Not only did he obtain the martial arts inheritance, but his strength also made a huge improvement.
Just as Li Yi was avoiding the wronged souls and evil spirits on the ghost street and continuing to move forward.
suddenly.
His inspiration gave him a warning, as if he was being watched by something, and he had an indescribable sense of crisis.
"Ok?"
Li Yi was very confused. He had no enemies in Ghost Street, and there were evil ghosts with no intelligence all around him. In addition, he was wearing a human skin hood to cover up the breath of living people. Logically, all dangers should be within the controllable range.
But inspiration will not lie. Since it has issued a warning, it must be that a terrible danger is approaching quickly.
"Li Yi!"
However, at this moment, a hoarse but angry voice suddenly echoed in Ghost Street.
A voice was calling his name.
Such a change made Li Yi's face suddenly change. He subconsciously looked over and saw a whole team of ghost soldiers coming towards him. The ghost soldiers were wearing ancient armor, some holding hanging spears, and some holding ghost-headed swords. Their empty eye sockets emitted green light, like the ghost fire in the underworld, which made people feel scared. In the middle of this team of ghost soldiers, there was a big ghost. The ghost was more than three meters tall and wore a robe, like a king in the underworld. The face was black and blue like a dead person, which was particularly creepy. At this moment, the ghost was furious and angry, as if he had an eternal grudge against Li Yi.
But Li Yi didn't recognize this big ghost at all, but he instinctively felt that he should run away quickly, otherwise if he was caught by the big ghost, he might die on this ghost street.
Immediately, he no longer hesitated, took out the mud horse and dripped his own blood on it.
Stimulated and guided by the blood, a strong wind immediately blew around the mud horse, and a tall and handsome Yin horse appeared at this moment.
"Let's go back to Tianchang City." Li Yi jumped on his horse.
The Yin horse raised its hooves and neighed, then rushed out carrying Li Yi.
He tried to use the speed of the ghost horse to shake off the ghost soldiers and ghost couriers and escape from this ghost street.
However, the direction in which the Yin Horse was running was exactly the direction in which the big ghost was coming. At this moment, the Yin Horse was galloping, carrying Li Yi like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, which was no different from sending him to his death.
"I am the ancestor of the Meng family, Meng Changfeng. I was a powerful spirit cultivator when I was alive. After my death, my spirit is immortal and resides in Ghost Street. Li Yi, I already know what you have done in the four seas and eight continents. Not only did you take my life, you also killed my Meng family masters, and you owed me ninety years of life that you have not repaid. How can I let you go so easily today?"
The Yin God just now told the whole story.
"Ancestor of the Meng family?"
Li Yi's face condensed, and he said loudly: "The matter of the Meng family is over. Meng Changfeng, do you want to fight again? If you make an enemy of me today, I will come across the border one day and fight with your Meng family to the death and wipe out your entire Meng family."
"You can't escape today, so how can you cross the border to take revenge someday? Dear ghost soldiers, kill this man and don't let him escape from Ghost Street." Meng Changfeng ordered the ghost soldiers at this moment, wanting to kill Li Yi here.
As soon as he finished speaking, the team of ghost soldiers all floated towards Li Yi.
These ghost soldiers are not the ghost messengers encountered before. Each of them is terrifyingly powerful. Just one ghost soldier was enough to alert Li Yiling and make him feel a fatal threat. Now there are as many as ten ghost soldiers in total, and with the support of the Yin God behind them, this situation is simply despairing.
"Fight."
Li Yi gritted his teeth, held the knife coin in his hand, used the guiding technique, and his punch emitted a bright and dazzling light.
Fortunately, he had fought with ghosts in Sanyang City and figured out some ways to deal with them. Otherwise, he would not even be able to fight back now. After all, the opponent is a ghost, not a living person. Normal guns, fists and feet have no effect on it. Once injured, his soul will be injured.
At this moment, a ghost soldier floated in the air with a ghost-head sword in his hand, and chopped down at Li Yi who was riding a ghost horse.
"kill."
Li Yi shouted suddenly, his pupils shining, trying to fight his way out of this ghost street. He threw out a punch, facing the falling ghost-head sword.
With the energy field of the knife coin and the superposition of the guidance technique, this punch was enough to shake the ghost soldiers. It was a pity that the ghost-head sword he had robbed before was left in the mansion in Sanyang City and he did not bring it with him, otherwise he would have had an extra weapon in his hands.
It’s not that he didn’t want to bring it, but holding this kind of ghost weapon requires constant use of guidance techniques, which consumes too much energy and is not worth it. Therefore, Li Yi thought about keeping it in the mansion and continuing to use it when he has the opportunity to return to Sanyang City in the future.
When the two collided, the energy field on Li Yi's fist was torn open hideously, but the remaining power of the ghost-head sword was also exhausted, and then it was blown away.
Seizing this opportunity, Li Yi rode his Yin horse and quickly passed the Yin soldier, not wanting to get entangled with him.
But the next moment.
Another ghost soldier came roaring and charging, also holding a ghost-head sword. This sword actually chopped directly at Li Yi's ghost horse. Before Li Yi could react, the ghost horse let out a wail, and a huge horse head fell to the ground, then lost its magical power and turned into a pool of mud.
The damn horse was killed, and Li Yi stumbled and fell down.
"Damn it." Li Yi quickly steadied himself and landed on the ground.
"Without Yin Ma, where can you escape to? Come and die." Meng Changfeng's dark blue face looked even more terrifying. He was like the Yama of hell, and he wanted to execute Li Yi, the evildoer who had brought chaos to Xingzhou, on the spot.
If we don't kill this anomaly Li Yi, and allow him to cross the border a few more times in the future, I'm afraid that the four seas and eight continents will not be able to be protected, and he, as a Yin God, will also be affected in the future.
It was precisely because he saw the huge potential threat Li Yi posed in the future that Meng Changfeng did not hesitate to break the previous agreement and wanted to kill Li Yi here.
In order to ensure that everything goes well, he also made sufficient preparations. He had a whole team of ghost soldiers, plus himself as a ghost god, to block the opponent's way. Although the opponent could kill the powerful Lian Gang masters, that was a method used against living people. Those methods were useless against ghost gods.
"Damn it." Li Yi couldn't help but curse. He felt the threat of death at this moment.
Sure enough, crossing the border is risky. I was targeted by the evil spirit for no reason, blocking my way home, and it was very difficult to break out in this situation.
Without waiting for him to think too much.
Two ghost soldiers came over with hanging spears in their hands. The danger of the hanging spears was even more terrifying than the ghost-head sword. Just by getting close, Li Yi felt a huge threat. He also saw a ball of eerie ghost fire burning on the long hair of the hanged man. Just by being illuminated by the fire, Li Yi felt a chill running through his bones.
If this thing were to be burned by the ghost fire, I'm afraid its soul would be annihilated and it would become a consciousnessless corpse.
The ghost soldiers were now waving hanging spears burning with ghost fire and charging at them. The two ghost soldiers behind them were also running towards them with ghost-head swords in their hands. The ghost soldiers had surrounded them all around. Even if Li Yi wanted to use a second ghost horse, he didn't have time.
Do I really want to die here?
No, absolutely impossible.
Li Yi roared, and in desperate situation, he used all his power to guide the magic, and the cosmic energy in his body gathered crazily.
At this moment, the Guidance Technique seemed to have a breakthrough. His hair stood up and his clothes fluttered as if affected by static electricity. The cosmic energy gathered by the Guidance Technique passed over his elbows and was compressed to the position of his fists.
His fists were dazzling at this moment, as if they had endless power.
A punch was thrown out, landing quickly and accurately on the body of a ghost soldier.
At this moment, power exploded and the ghost soldier was actually knocked away by Li Yi's punch. However, the ghost soldier was wearing armor and was not seriously injured. He turned around, stood up again and rushed towards Li Yi again.
Just as he repelled one ghost soldier, another ghost soldier came towards Li Yi, waving the ghost-head sword in his hand.
Li Yi had no time to fight back and narrowly escaped by relying on the warning of inspiration.
But then a hanging spear swept over, swift and tricky.
Li Yi raised his fist to fight back without hesitation. Although he blocked the attack of the hanging spear, the eerie ghost fire on the hanging spear splashed out. In an instant, a ghost fire fell on Li Yi's arm and then suddenly burned.
pain!
Different from physical pain, this is pain of the soul.
At this moment, the little man in Li Yi's consciousness, who was holding a treasure seal and sitting on a lotus platform, let out a painful wail.
Obviously this villain is Li Yi's soul.
Damaged by the ghost fire, the little man in Li Yi's consciousness was obviously in a very bad state. He wilted instantly, and his size shrank. Even his body seemed a little illusory.
At this moment, in the words of Master Zhao Ge, the soul has been severely damaged.
"Are these ghost soldiers so terrifying?" Li Yi felt despair at this moment. Even if he used his guiding technique to the extreme, he could only fight against one ghost soldier. If there was one more ghost soldier, he would have difficulty in resisting.
Not to mention that there were ten ghost soldiers around him at this time.
Ultimately, there are too few means to deal with ghosts and gods.
The guiding technique only enables Li Yi to fight against evil spirits, but it is not the nemesis of these ghosts.
"If you grab a hanging spear, maybe you still have a chance to turn the tables." But Li Yi did not give up. He endured the pain in his soul and not only did he not retreat, but he rushed out to repel a ghost soldier and take his spear.
However, how could the ghost soldiers give Li Yi this opportunity? Although these ghost soldiers look like mummies, they are not ghosts without intelligence.
Facing Li Yi's attack, the two ghost soldiers above his head suddenly chopped down with big swords in their hands. At the same time, the ghost soldier in front of him holding the hanging spear ignited the ghost fire again. As he waved it, a green flame filled the air in front of him, forcing Li Yi to retreat.
If Li Yi tried to force his way in, he would be ignited by the ghost fire and burned to death.
Li Yi had no choice but to retreat. He could not take his spear, nor could he break through the blockade and escape from the Ghost Street. He could only retreat step by step.
The ghost soldiers continued to press forward, trying to cut off Li Yi's chance of survival.
However, Li Yi was too tenacious. He could use his magic to burst out and fight with the ghost soldiers for a short time. In addition, he had extremely strong reaction ability and could fight and retreat at the same time. As a result, the ten ghost soldiers were unable to kill him in a short time.
"You are such a tenacious guy, but your way of survival is cut off. The only way down is death." Meng Changfeng's body, which was more than three meters tall, pressed down. At this moment, he even crossed the Yin soldiers and wanted to personally put an end to Li Yi, the potential enemy.
He knew that this person had unlimited potential. If he was not killed now, he, the Yin God, would probably have to retreat when he became powerful in the future.
With Meng Changfeng approaching, Li Yi had to continue retreating, while thinking quickly, trying to find a way to survive.
However, at this moment, Li Yi was only concerned with retreating and forgot what was happening behind him. He stopped and his body seemed to hit something.
It seemed to be a person, no, it should be a ghost.
Just touching Li Yi made him feel cold all over, his body couldn't help but stiffen, and even the ghost fire burning on his arm was extinguished at this moment.
"Ok?"
Meng Changfeng, the Yin God, stared at the person behind Li Yi and stopped in his tracks. He seemed to smell an unusual scent.
When Li Yi subconsciously looked back, the scene in front of him made him feel extremely horrified.
Behind him, the cold ghost turned out to be a woman, and the face of this woman was very familiar. She was Li Yi's mother.
Buzz!
The moment he saw that face, Li Yi's head started buzzing.
Ah!
I had a splitting headache, confusion, and was in extreme pain.
Some memory emerged in Li Yi's mind, but there was a terrifying force interfering. Part of his memory disappeared and was then tampered with. But looking at that familiar face, new memories appeared again.
The constantly emerging memories and the entanglement of strange powers made him feel completely unwell.
Why did my mother appear in Ghost Street?
Isn’t my mother lying in the nutrition cabin?
Wait, there seems to be something wrong with my mother. Sister Lin seems to have reminded me of this before.
No, that's not right. There's nothing wrong with my mom. I want to go home. I want to cross the border and go home. My mom is still waiting for me at home.
Li Yi held his head at this moment, fell to the ground in pain, and wailed continuously.
But the woman behind him, who looked exactly like Li Yi's mother, did not move at all. She just stood there quietly, indifferent to Li Yi. Her pair of empty and lifeless eyes turned numbly, glancing slightly at Meng Changfeng in front of her.
Then it gave a weird smile.
