Having lived two lives, this was the first time Su Mo had gone to the underworld.
Because he was a living person, his primordial spirit had come down to be sealed, so he did not need to take the traditional path of the dead. Instead, Wang Yongren led him through the back and forth passage specially used by the messengers of death.
Along the way, the black fog covered Su Mo's surroundings, preventing him from seeing anything.
This was the law of heaven and earth. Living people could not see the path to the netherworld.
Of course, it was also because Su Mo's cultivation level was not high enough. If his cultivation level was high enough, he could open his Heavenly Eye and instantly see through the black fog that covered his path.
They walked and stopped. After an unknown period of time, the group suddenly stopped.
The surrounding black fog also gradually dissipated, and a magnificent bronze hall appeared in front of Su Mo.
"The director is waiting for you inside.”Wang Yongren took back his Dark Horse and bowed to Su Mo.""I still have a soul-stealing mission, so I'll take my leave first.”
Generally speaking, when an ordinary official position was conferred, it would be the subordinate who submitted the name list. Then, it would be decided by the director. After the decision was made, the official seal would be directly sent over.
From the beginning to the end, the director did not appear.
However, considering his identity as a Mao Mountain true disciple, Su Mo did not suspect anything and walked into the Soul Crossing Bureau's hall.
This was what it meant to lean against a big tree and enjoy the shade!
In the bronze hall, a large number of people in black robes were holding jade slips and books in their hands. They were walking around in a hurry, and their orders were constantly being given. It looked like a busy scene.
At the end of the hall, an old man in a gorgeous black robe sat cross-legged behind a table. He waved the brush in his hand and read the handwritten orders. Then, the two Yin officials beside him passed them down.
Obviously, this was the head of the Soul Crossing Bureau.
When Su Mo entered, the old man suddenly looked up at him and gave him a warm smile.""Little Su, you're here."
As for Su Mo, he was stunned.
The face in front of him was very familiar because he had been with the owner of this face for a whole fifteen years!
When Su Mo had transmigrated to this world, he had been a one-month-old baby, and his parents had been killed by bandits.
A Mao Mountain elder happened to pass by, and Su Mo could only ask for help in order to survive. After all, he was just a one-month-old baby, and the biggest possibility was that he would be fed to the wolves in the wilderness.
Seeing the baby speak, the elder thought that Su Mosheng was intelligent and talented, so he brought him back to Mao Mountain.
The Division Head in front of him was the elder, Yan Daoqin.
When he was young, Elder Yan would often bring him around Mao Mountain to catch butterflies and rabbits.
Five years ago, Su Mo had died from his injuries while fighting a great fiendish demon, and he had even cried for it.
"Elder Yan!" Su Mo was pleasantly surprised.
"Hahahaha, come over and sit!" Yan Daoqin laughed heartily and pointed at the jade cushion beside him."In my impression, you were still a child. I didn't expect you to have grown so much in five years.”
As he spoke, Yan Daoqin waved his sleeves, and all the Yin officials in the hall bowed and retreated, leaving a quiet place.
"Why, are you still studying in Mao Mountain? How are my senior brothers?"
"I left Mao Mountain a year ago. Now, I'm in Ren Town, learning from Senior Brother Lin Fengjiao about catching ghosts and exterminating evil.”Su Mo walked over and sat down beside him, smiling as he replied,""Sect Master went into seclusion not long after you rode the crane and hasn't come out yet. The elders in the sect are very healthy.”
"Little Lin?" Yan Daoqin frowned." He hasn't driven away those two disciples yet?"”
With Yan Daoqin's age and seniority, it was absolutely appropriate to call him Ninth Uncle. As for the two disciples, they were naturally referring to Qiu Sheng's literary talent.
"Not yet."
"Humph!" Hearing Su Mo's reply, Yan Daoqin coldly snorted and revealed an unhappy expression.""Back then, many of us advised him that his two disciples did not have the talent to cultivate at all. Moreover, their wills were not strong and their temperaments were inferior. However, this kid had a stubborn personality that would not turn back even if he hit a south wall.”
Accepting the talisman was a ritual of the Taoist school.
Just like how the imperial court conferred an official position, only when you were officially given an official seal, official uniform, and officially took office could you exercise your rights.
Only after passing the assessment of Daoism and obtaining the official identity of a Daoist priest and officially going through the ceremony of receiving the talisman would the talisman drawn by you be recognized by the gods of heaven and earth and possess the power to kill demons.
If it hadn't gone through the ceremony, the drawing would only be a piece of waste paper.
This was the reason why Qiu Chengsheng and Wen Cai had never drawn talismans in the movie. They had always used talismans drawn by Ninth Uncle!
Hearing Yan Daoqin's criticism, Su Mo felt a little awkward and did not know how to speak.
After all, one was his Martial Uncle, and the other was his Senior Brother. They were both older than him.
Su Mo's master was the sect leader of the Maoshan Sect, and Yan Daoqin was the sect leader's junior brother, one of the sect's elders.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that." Yan Daoqin shook his head and said to Su Mo,""Sigh, you're still the most likable kid, but you're still alive and your cultivation is insufficient. You can't stay in the netherworld for too long, or else you'll be in trouble if you get contaminated with Yin Qi.”
As he spoke, he threw a token over."This is the Soul Crossing Bureau's Sikong Ling. You just need to drip your blood on it. As for your name, I've already prepared it for you.”
"Thank you, Uncle-Master." Su Mo clasped his hands and bowed.
"Yes."
Yan Daoqin nodded in satisfaction." Oh right, I've also helped you change your lifespan on the Life and Death Book. You can go back directly later."”
Su Mo's original lifespan was 180 years, but after reaching the Soul Out of the Dark Realm, he had 800 years left. Thus, he needed to report to the underworld and change the lifespan on the Life and Death Book.
If he cultivated the Celestial Immortal Great Dao one day, his name on the Life and Death Book would naturally be erased.
