Chapter 155 Slaughter

Since they had decided to enter the Yin realm and seize the Blood Stained Pool, naturally, there was no time to delay, and they had to set off immediately.

So the group split into two groups: Hu Ma, Erguotou, Miss Red Wine, and Shaodaozi went to the Yin realm to seize the authority of the Blood Stained Pool.

Yu Bing Shao, Lao Gaoliang, and Zhu Ye Qing, plus Di Gua Shao, who was now nowhere to be found, would stay here to lead the Bu Shi Niu disciples on behalf of Hu Ma and continue to attack Fierce Tiger Pass.

Old Abacus saw that they had made a decision and could only bite the bullet and agree. Before leaving, he pulled Hu Ma aside and said earnestly, "Since you are going to enter the Yin realm, then I must remind you of the main points of our Da Luo Dharma Sect..."

Seeing his seriousness, Hu Ma was surprised, "What?"

Old Abacus said, "Now, the Eight Scenes of the Yellow Springs are said to be in the bag of the Ten Families, but how many years have the Ten Families been in charge? To be honest, in the past, they were all under the watch of our Da Luo Dharma Sect..."

Hu Ma listened to him, and his heart moved slightly, "Could it be that Da Luo Dharma Sect also has some inherited methods that you haven't told me?"

It is said that Da Luo Dharma Sect is recognized as the eleventh family, and although the Imperial Advisor is annoying, his ability to surpass the Ten Families is enviable.

But why, after becoming the chief priest of this Da Luo Dharma Sect, does he only have an empty name?

The Twelve Ghost Altars, theoretically, belong to him, and he can indeed carry them, but that is just an object that must suppress the world, and he cannot easily use it now.

"No."

Old Abacus was stunned when he heard Hu Ma's question and said with certainty, "The only inherited method in the sect is to kowtow to the ancestral master. If you have any questions, you can ask him..."

"Let me kowtow?"

Seeing Hu Ma's eyes narrowed, he hurriedly said, "I'm not kidding you. There is really no cultivation method in the Da Luo Dharma Sect. Even the ancestral master, the second-generation chief priest, and the Imperial Advisor's abilities were learned after they went down the mountain."

"In fact, there are only three realms in our sect, and they are only for you chief priests..."

Hu Ma was immediately curious when he heard this, "What realms?"

Old Abacus appeared exceptionally serious, and his wrinkled face seemed to have a bit of solemnity as he whispered, "Observing the world, entering the world, and..."

"...Old Heaven."

"..."

Hu Ma was a little confused when he heard this, "What the hell is Old Heaven? That doesn't even rhyme!"

Old Abacus said, "How would I know? I just heard about it and parrot it back to you."

"But since you are entering the Yin realm, everything will be fine. If you encounter any trouble, you need to remember this matter in your heart, and you also need to remember your identity as the chief priest of the Da Luo Dharma Sect!"

"..."

Hu Ma felt strange in his heart as he listened, and he subconsciously scoffed, but then he suddenly paused.

He thought of how the Da Luo Dharma Sect had been on the mountain before the three generations of chief priests, coldly observing the world, worshiping the Grand Duke Jupiter, and then he thought of the ancestral master and the second-generation chief priest sacrificing to heaven and earth, arranging the thirty-six ghost caves, inviting reincarnators, and guiding the Ten Families, and then he thought of the Imperial Advisor...

Observing the world, entering the world, followed by the words "Old Heaven" seemed like a joke, but thinking about what they had done, and then thinking about the methods left by Lao Jun, he suddenly thought of a lot.

After a long time, he asked an unexpected question, "Then... what realm is the Dongxuan Imperial Advisor in?"

Old Abacus panicked at once, "How could you think that I am qualified to evaluate someone like him?"

"I understand why the Imperial Advisor always says that his path has gone astray..."

Hu Ma was thoughtful, pondered for a long time, and said, "He has gone from observing the world and entering the world to the realm of leaving the world."

His heart was much clearer at once, and he suddenly looked up at Old Abacus, "Pass on this message to him. I think your Da Luo Dharma Sect disciples should have a way to find him."

"Tell him that I know his current realm. Also, ask him for me, I am not on the same path as him, but as the former chief priest, is it necessary for him to answer some of my questions?"

Old Abacus had come to tell Hu Ma some questions, but now Hu Ma's reaction made him a little confused, and he just nodded and noted it down.

After arranging Old Abacus, he also bid farewell to Miss Wu He. She said she was here to deliver a message for the Zhao family, but she had been following him these past few days, taking care of him carefully. It could be seen that she was thinking about her gratitude and wanted to repay him in this way as much as possible.

But after all, she had become a member of the Ba Xi Men (Tricks Sect) now, and she always had to go back.

Standing prettily in front of Hu Ma, she looked a little reluctant. Looking at Hu Ma, she suddenly trembled her red lips and asked carefully, "Brother Hu, next time we meet, will we not become enemies?"

"If... if you need anything, you can, you can come and find me."

"..."

Looking at her careful appearance, Hu Ma knew that she had realized the contradiction between himself and the Six Families after following him for the past few days, and he had already thought about the future.

Looking at her face, he suddenly smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I am doing things for the people of the world, and I am not an enemy of anyone."

"Also, when you go back this time, you only need to pass on a word to that young master of the Zhao family for me."

"..."

Miss Wu He was a little excited when she heard that he had an order and raised her head.

She saw Hu Ma smile and say, "Tell Zhao Sanyi to treat my junior sister well, or I will tear down the gate of their Zhao family."

Miss Wu He's eyes were already wet when she heard this. She nodded vigorously, bowed gently, and left reluctantly.

Only then did Hu Ma look at Miss Red Wine and the others, knowing that they had already made arrangements on the way, but he was still a little curious about how they were going to take him to the Blood Stained Pool.

Staying up all night to enter the Yin realm was originally a difficult problem. When he wanted to enter the City of the Wrongly Dead, even Erguotou couldn't take him because of his cultivation. Now that his cultivation has reached the rare Ten Incense Pillars, it would undoubtedly be even more difficult to enter the Yin realm.

However, facing his worries, Miss Red Wine seemed to have thought of a way and smiled, "Don't worry."

"It is said that staying up all night counters Ba Xi (Tricks), so in order to save my life, I have learned a lot about the Shou Sui (Night Watchers). It is naturally difficult for Shou Sui to enter the Yin realm, but what if you were supposed to go down and get a knife in the first place?"

"..."

Hu Ma was stunned, "Huh?"

Before he could react, Shaodaozi next to him suddenly drew out his knife and slashed it on Hu Ma's neck with a grim and cold expression.

Hu Ma didn't even raise an eyebrow and let the knife slash at him.

He saw that the knife was slashed extremely fast and fiercely, but when it landed on his neck, it suddenly withdrew all its strength and was so light that not even a white mark appeared.

"Some people want to go to the Blood Stained Pool, but they can't find it even if they look for it."

Miss Red Wine smiled and had already asked Erguotou to open the gate of the Yin realm. She walked towards Hu Ma and said, "But there are also people who don't want to go in, but the Blood Stained Pool has to send someone to take him in."

"In the end, the deeper the sins, the easier it is to go to the Blood Stained Pool. Although you are a descendant of the Hu family, you once bore sins in Ming Prefecture. Plus, your identity is special, and the Li family can't wait for the sins on your body to be heavier. You have long been on the list."

"So, we can just escort you in."

"Of course, in terms of sins, you are still considered light. If it were that Miss Di Gua..."

"There wouldn't even need to be this knife. As long as she stays in one place at midnight and shouts her name loudly, the Yin messengers will take the initiative to come and find her."

"..."

While speaking, she had already tied a red thread to the wrists of Hu Ma and Shaodaozi, and even cut a paper lock in the shape of a cangue and symbolically tied it to Hu Ma's wrist, like Su San being escorted for trial.

Taking a step back, she tilted her head to look at it, clapped her hands and smiled, "In this way, we can go."

"As expected of the Ba Xi Men (Tricks Sect) that deceives gods and ghosts."

Hu Ma understood her arrangement. He had sins on his body, and the Blood Stained Pool had left his name on the list. Shaodaozi was a Yinchai (Yin realm constable) in the Blood Stained Pool, so he naturally had the responsibility to kill him and take him to the Yin realm.

So they pretended to slash with this knife, deceiving the unseen Yin realm and openly taking him to the Blood Stained Pool.

However, he looked at Shaodaozi with some worry and said, "Are you okay with faking this slash at me?"

Now his fate is too heavy. No matter who kills him in this world, the price will be extremely high.

Although Shaodaozi's knife was a fake kill, it was after all to deceive the Yin realm, so theoretically it was no different from a real kill, and Hu Ma couldn't help but worry about him.

"Hehe, I know your fate is heavy, but I have seen countless dead souls under my knife in the past twenty years..."

Shaodaozi was smug, tugging at the red thread, really like locking Hu Ma with a chain.

But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly frowned, feeling a chill in his back. He subconsciously shrank his head and looked around, saying, "The sun hasn't set yet, why do I feel like my neck is being blown by Yin wind?" While speaking, Erguotou had already set up a Yin altar, and everyone walked into it together. Erguotou reminded from the side, "Once you enter the Yin realm, just look forward."

"With your cultivation, if you turn your head, my altar will be broken."

"..."

Everyone heard this and did not turn their heads, and even did not let their eyes wander, but just walked forward. The moment they stepped into the altar, they instantly felt that the world was gloomy, as if they had changed into another world.

Only the words of Miss Red Wine came from their ears, still with a hint of human warmth, "The Blood Stained Pool is the place where the grievances of the Yin realm gather."

"The laws of heaven and earth, reincarnation, karma entanglement, only sins are difficult to eliminate. Over time, it has become one of the Eight Scenes of the Yellow Springs."

"In one's life, everyone has grievances. Before reincarnation, one must be clean and abandon all these grievances in the pool. Over time, it has become one of the Eight Scenes of the Yellow Springs."

"But there are all kinds of people in the world. According to legends, there are evil people in the world. Before they die, their sins are difficult to eliminate. They can't wait for their end of life and will be named by the Yin realm. The Yin messengers will take them away at night and take them to the Blood Stained Pool to be stabbed with a knife."

"This is called stopping sins with killing!"

"But the Blood Stained Pool will not directly kill people, but will recruit people with heavy killing intent to be executioners for it."

"Shaodaozi is one of them. Their job is called leading Yinchai (Yin Realm Constables)."

"However, people in the know subconsciously think that this Yin messenger is given by the Li family, but it is not."

"The Li family is also just a Yin messenger, but they took the lead early enough and know enough about the Blood Stained Pool, and their own abilities are great, as if they are the masters of the Blood Stained Pool."

"But in the end, the Blood Stained Pool does not belong to anyone, but only to this world."

"..."

She is the most standard reincarnator, and her actions and words have the air of the first generation of reincarnators. While entering the Yin realm, she told all the reasons: "The Blood Stained Pool has three kinds of errands in the human world: summoning, arresting, and executing. The Li family only took the first two."

"Jianghu people are amazed at the Li family's ability to call out the names of living people and seize souls, but in fact, these two abilities come from the errands of the Blood Stained Pool."

"It's just that the Li family is rich and has no killing intent. They can view the book of grievances and hook souls without常(impermanence), but no one can take the job of cutting this knife, so they can only find it outside."

"They actually only have the ability to recommend, but the Li family is ambitious and wants to turn those who have taken the killing job on the Blood Stained Pool into their own people. In this way, the Li family can gather the three hands of summoning, arresting, and executing in one body."

"That God-Given King came from this."

"The Li family's authority in the Blood Stained Pool cannot actually suppress this person, but the Li family found him in the Yang world and changed his fate by executing his soul, supporting such a grass-roots king. It's just a pity that this God-Given King's killing intent arises from himself, but he may not take the Li family seriously."

"..."

Hu Ma could tell from these words that Miss Red Wine had indeed put in a lot of effort in the Blood Stained Pool.

He became slightly curious, "If I have sins on my body, the Blood Stained Pool will want to take me over, but my fate is so heavy that killing me will also suffer the backlash of heaven and earth."

"Since they are both products of this world, how can there be such contradictions?"

Miss Red Wine smiled and whispered, "Great evil is not punished, and great punishment is not killed."

"Everyone has karmic debts on their body. In terms of karmic numbers, it thinks you should be killed. In terms of karma, your fate is too heavy. The laws of heaven and earth are contradictory and complementary. Who can say this clearly?"

"It's nothing more than saying what you should say when the time comes."

"..."

In the Yin realm, there is no space and distance. They came for the Blood Stained Pool, and when they entered the Yin realm, they only felt their bodies sinking.

Drifting, the Yin clouds flowing in front of their eyes. When they saw clearly, they saw that there was a vast expanse of blood mist in front of them, which made people subconsciously feel palpitated. But when they looked carefully again, they saw that the blood mist faintly turned into a carved beam and painted building.

Among those exquisite pavilions, there were paper figures and white banners hanging everywhere. There were stiff and dull maids and servants, dragging their long skirts, holding wine and food boxes with expressionless faces, walking back and forth.

Looking at the whole, it only felt unspeakably exquisite and strange, as if it was a guillotine inlaid with gold and jewelry.

Hu Ma's heart moved slightly, "That is..."

"We're here."

Miss Red Wine also lowered her voice and said carefully, "The Blood Stained Pool is not really real, and the Yin realm is just an illusion, so the Blood Stained Pool can be any shape."

"It's just that after the Li family came, they used the purple energy of the Yang world to manifest the Blood Stained Pool and build it into the appearance they imagined. This is also to better understand this place and better control it."

"Of course, also because the Li family's purple energy wraps the Blood Stained Pool, we will inevitably be detected as long as we approach!"

"Then we..."

"..."

"Kill in!"

Miss Red Wine stopped outside in advance, and under her feet was a road paved with white silk. She looked up ahead, as if she already knew it well, and glanced at Erguotou and Hu Ma, "But not by you."

Her gaze fell on Shaodaozi, "By him."

Shaodaozi is quite capable, but in terms of cultivation, he seems to be inferior to myself and Erguotou...

"I'm different from you."

Shaodaozi seemed to have seen through Hu Ma and Erguotou's doubts and whispered with a smile, "When I was reincarnated, I was unlucky and was born in a bandit's den."

"When I was only four or five years old, I had to learn how to hold a knife. When I was six or seven years old, I had to start killing people. As a result, I fell in love with it after killing so many people."

"Even my abilities were learned by killing people. So, I have a heavier killing intent than you. In this place, cultivation and abilities are useless. Heavy killing intent is the most important thing."

"..."

Hearing him say it lightly, Hu Ma and Erguotou felt the difficulty of his growth and their expressions froze slightly.

Erguotou said, "Just kill like that? It's even more reckless than staying up all night. Can this defeat the Impermanent Li family?"

"Far from it!"

Miss Red Wine said, "Shaodaozi's killing intent is not small. If he were really a native, he might become a murderous demon, but unfortunately, he is still restrained by his knowledge of the previous life, and he has always crossed such a bottom line."

"There are at least dozens or hundreds of people who have taken errands in the Blood Stained Pool. With his killing intent, he can't even get into the top ten!"

"And the reason why that God-Given King was chosen by the Li family is because he himself is one of the best in this killing intent. What does he have to compete with him?"

"..."

Hu Ma was slightly stunned, "Then you..."

"This requires the methods of our Ba Xi Men (Tricks Sect) to help him..."

Miss Red Wine slowly turned around, and Shaodaozi had already prepared himself and looked at her calmly. He saw Miss Red Wine flicking a few silver needles from her fingertips and looking at Shaodaozi's eyes.

She whispered, "I'm going to put these two silver needles into your eyes. Are you afraid?"

Shaodaozi whispered with a smile, "If I can take them out, I won't be afraid."

Miss Red Wine also smiled and said, "These two needles of mine are Yin Yang Heart-Deceiving Needles, one positive and one negative. Putting them in your eyes, one deceives the unseen and the other deceives yourself."

"With these needles, you will become another person with overwhelming killing intent. You will not remember who you are until I take the silver needles."

"..."

Shaodaozi was even a little impatient, "Hurry up, it's still a bit cold here. I didn't even add a piece of clothing inside."

Seeing Miss Red Wine picking up two silver needles and preparing to cast a spell on Shaodaozi here, Shaodaozi also looked calm, but Hu Ma and Erguotou clearly felt a little anxious and worried, "Who are you going to turn him into?"

"Killing all the surrendered soldiers, hot blood flowing, still showing off their spears."

"Someone who does not exist in this world, but in our place, he is a person with overwhelming killing intent and a sea of blood overturning."

Miss Red Wine said in a low voice, squinting her eyes, the silver needles in her hand pierced towards Shaodaozi's eyes, her voice chilling, "Buried 400,000 Zhao soldiers, the fierce name overwhelmed the world..."

"...The Human Butcher General, Killing God Bai Qi!"
