The Supreme Martial Arts Master in the World of Nine

Chapter 40 The Golden Rooster Leads the Way, the Lantern Summons the Soul

The backyard of the restaurant.

It was nearing dusk, and the setting sun hung in the sky.

A gentle breeze swept across the offering table, and a portrait of the Fengdu Emperor shimmered with a faint, dark gold light.

Uncle Nine grabbed three incense sticks, and instantly his magical power surged, causing the incense to ignite without fire.

"Now, Lin Fengjiao, who is the clerk of the underworld in the mortal world and the head of the Heaven and Earth Bank in the mortal world, has issued an edict to the underworld, granting her disciple Zhao Yi the authority to guide people in the underworld. She hereby requests the Underworld Department to affix its seal."

Uncle Jiu lit incense and raised his right hand, forming a sword-like finger, which he then touched between Zhao Yi's eyebrows.

A strange purple-gold talisman appeared between Uncle Nine's eyebrows.

This is the seal script of the underworld, mysterious and chilling, with a faint, eerie blue glow.

As the incense from Uncle Nine rose gently, a deep blue light shone brightly from between his brows, appearing exceptionally mystical in the twilight.

"Can!"

In the darkness, a voice seemed to appear.

The next moment, a cool sensation emanated from Uncle Nine's sword finger and instantly flowed into Zhao Yi's brow.

A mysterious and chilling symbol appeared between Zhao Yi's eyebrows.

It's exactly the same as Uncle Nine's.

"Was that a spirit from the underworld just now?"

Zhao Yi heard the word "yes" in agreement.

"Imperial Edict!"

Uncle Nine immediately gave a low shout, and in an instant, the scent of incense and candles was swept away by the banquet.

An invisible force surrounded him, and a bright light shone from between his brows.

A moment later, the breeze dissipated, and the dim light disappeared.

Uncle Nine withdrew his hand, his face showing slight fatigue but also joy.

"Ayi, you've done it. From now on, you just need to guide benevolent souls and convert good demons."

"But remember, it must never be abused, and even more so, it must never be used to attract evil spirits or demons."

"If anything goes wrong, not only will you lose your good karma and bear enormous karmic consequences, but I will also be implicated."

Uncle Nine spoke with a serious expression.

"Master, I understand!" Zhao Yi nodded very seriously.

"Master~~Master~~, Qiu Sheng's aunt said he hasn't been to the shop for three days and is planning to come to you for an explanation!"

At this moment, Wencai hurriedly ran to the backyard.

"What!" Uncle Nine frowned immediately.

Qiu Sheng didn't return to the mortuary for three days, and then didn't return to his aunt's house for another three days.

Has something happened to them?

"Master, I think Senior Brother Qiusheng has most likely encountered a ghost!" Zhao Yi said.

"When Qiusheng and Wencai lit the plum blossom incense array that day, they probably attracted something unclean."

Although he couldn't directly talk about the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu, Uncle Jiu was, after all, a master of the True Person Realm. Zhao Yi casually mentioned it, and Uncle Jiu immediately guessed some of the truth of the matter.

"Ah Yi, go find me a big rooster and a white lantern," Uncle Nine said immediately.

"Leave it to me!" Zhao Yi replied immediately.

This is a restaurant, so there's no shortage of roosters.

So the things Uncle Nine needed were prepared very quickly.

Uncle Nine quickly picked up a vermilion pen and wrote Qiu Sheng's birth date and time on the yellow paper.

Then fold it into a paper figure and stuff it into the white lantern.

After doing all this, Uncle Nine immediately grabbed the rooster's comb, gently touched it, and a trickle of blood flowed out.

After applying the chicken blood to the white lantern, Uncle Nine immediately made a hand seal.

"The golden rooster leads the way, the lantern summons the soul; Heaven and Earth, mysterious ancestor, Qiankun, lend their power; hasten, hasten, as the law commands!"

As soon as Uncle Nine's magical power surged, the rooster immediately flapped its body, let out a clear crow, and walked outside.

"Come on, keep up!"

Uncle Nine immediately whispered something, then picked up the white lantern and followed behind the rooster.

Zhao Yi and Wen Cai quickly followed after them.

Soon the three of them left Renjia Town and arrived at a mountain valley behind the town.

"Master, is Qiusheng really here?" Wencai looked around and couldn't help but ask.

Now that night has fallen, the surroundings are somewhat dim, with the faint light of white lanterns illuminating only a small part of the road.

The evening breeze in the mountain valley was a bit chilly, and Wencai subconsciously hugged his arms.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Uncle Nine glared at Wen Cai with annoyance.

This apprentice is useless at everything, but he's number one when it comes to eating.

You still dare to question him!

If he's not here, wouldn't that mean his magic is ineffective?

What a rebellious disciple.

"This path seems to lead to Old Master Ren's old tomb?"

Zhao Yi, however, began to see through the situation.

After walking for almost half an hour, the group finally found Qiu Sheng unconscious, clutching a stone tablet, in a chaotic graveyard.

The moonlight was dim, and Qiu Sheng's face was somewhat pale. He held Qiu Sheng tightly in his arms, as if he were embracing a beautiful woman.

She would even pout her lips from time to time and kiss the stone tablet in her arms.

However, the color of her lips had turned purplish-black.

Clearly, not only is the body severely weak, but there is also a serious deficiency of Yang energy.

"Huh! Isn't this the place where we burned incense last time?" Wen Cai suddenly paused and muttered to himself.

He seemed to recognize him too.

"Qiusheng, wake up!"

Uncle Nine made a hand seal, his right hand forming a sword finger, and pointed it at the white lantern.

hum!

The white lantern suddenly became much brighter, and then a streak of blood flew out from the white lantern and entered Qiu Sheng's body.

"press?"

Qiu Sheng, who was holding the stone tablet, suddenly trembled, subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and woke up from his coma.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw Uncle Nine's dark face.

"Ah, Master—"

When Qiu Sheng saw Uncle Jiu's face close to his, he was so frightened that he shuddered.

This reaction was even stronger than seeing a ghost.

Snapped!

Uncle Nine slapped Qiu Sheng on the head, saying with a hint of exasperation, "You've been bewitched, kid!"

Even if Uncle Nine didn't know the whole story, he could roughly guess what happened.

Especially seeing Qiu Sheng's huge reaction upon seeing him.

Could it be that I, your master, am even less worthy than a ghost?

"..."

Qiu Sheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but then he understood.

He wasn't stupid; his previous flings had already given him away.

Even though he knew something was wrong, Qiu Sheng didn't want to wake up from this gentle embrace.

Now that Uncle Nine has woken him up, Qiu Sheng naturally understands everything.

But seeing Uncle Nine's face, which was about to burst with anger, Qiu Sheng shrank back.

"In this situation, encountering a ghost is better than facing my master!" Qiu Sheng muttered to himself.

The thought of encountering a ghost reminded him of Xiaoyu.

How wonderful!

"Heh, is Qiusheng reminiscing about the taste of Japanese devils again?"

Seeing Qiu Sheng like this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but think with a wicked sense of humor.

If, over time, feelings develop, Dong Xiaoyu might suddenly reveal her true colors.

Will Qiusheng suffer psychological trauma and become impotent?

"How dare you be so treacherous and mislead my disciple! I'll take you in!"

While Zhao Yi was still indulging in his wicked humor, Uncle Jiu was already seething with anger and was about to stomp on the stone tablet.

"Master, please don't!"

Qiu Sheng immediately rushed over and hugged Uncle Jiu's leg.

"You unfilial disciple, you've infuriated me!" Upon seeing this, Uncle Nine immediately kicked him away.

Seeing Qiu Sheng being kicked away by Uncle Jiu, a beautiful figure suddenly flew out from the stone tablet.

"Oh, Sheng-ge, are you alright?"
