Chapter 289 The fairy lotus attracts souls
Soon, ghost soldiers came and drove away the souls.
Countless souls begged and longed, hoping that Li Yuan could take them back to the human world.
Li Yuan sighed again.
This is the sorrow of all living beings, the cause and effect are too complicated and he cannot interfere.
It took him a lot of trouble to come to the underworld to retrieve part of Li Xiaoan's soul.
Not to mention bringing these souls back to the human world.
This is the system of the underworld and it cannot be done arbitrarily.
"If I have the chance, I will give you some advice."
Looking at the pleading eyes of those souls, Li Yuan could only say this.
Under the scolding of the ghost soldiers, those souls dared not to come and harass them again.
But those pairs of unwilling eyes always kept their gaze on Li Yuan.
Li Yuan walked to the left and sighed in his heart.
No wonder people always remind us not to interfere in irrelevant matters in the underworld.
If any of these countless souls and spirits were involved, it would be a huge event.
He is just a small mountain god and does not have such great power.
In front of the Naihe Bridge is a vast land.
Charred and lifeless.
The Yellow Springs Road passes through this charred land.
In the left area, Li Yuan finally saw the people of Anyue.
These people were harmed by great demons like Zhenhu, and their souls were often incomplete under the erosion of demonic energy.
After entering the underworld, he was always marginalized.
If Li Yuan didn't come to complete their souls, the queue for reincarnation alone would take a thousand years.
Li Yuan approached quickly.
Some people with dull eyes turned their heads to look.
"Mountain... Lord Mountain God?"
A bright light began to flash in their gray eyes.
The souls of thousands of Anyue people subconsciously gathered together, all in this area.
Li Yuan took a deep breath, looked at their incomplete souls, and an apologetic smile appeared on his face.
"Sorry, I am late."
Thousands of souls gathered around and bowed and kowtowed.
Seeing this, the ghost soldiers on the side tried to drive them away again.
However, when he saw Li Yuan waving his hand, he retreated silently.
"Master Mountain God, where were you at that time..."
There were elderly men shedding tears. They were the people who had migrated there that year.
He recalled his past in the Pond of Rebirth and saw everything in front of the Three Lives Stone.
I just feel a tasteless taste in my mouth and bitterness in my heart.
He has worked so hard in his life.
After finally getting through everything, the country was reborn and he was able to enjoy his old age in peace.
After a few good years, they were harmed by a big demon that appeared out of nowhere!
Li Yuan sighed, feeling very apologetic.
"The enemy set a trap. I was not capable enough and failed to escape in time. I'm sorry, everyone..."
The souls of the people of Anyue sobbed, but they did not vent their anger on their own mountain god.
"My child, I'm afraid no one will take care of him..."
The woman cried, her soul became illusory and transparent, with only one hand and one foot.
"I died on the border, and I don't know if my parents are safe."
The young man's soul sighed, tears streaming from his eyes.
The souls of the people of Anyue have gone through several processes and have let go of some of the past and accepted the fact of death.
It can be seen that when Li Yuanxun came here, he was still fragile in his heart and couldn't help crying and feeling regretful.
Li Yuan sighed lightly, but tried to look energetic:
"Don't worry too much."
"An Yue is a strong and benevolent country, and the emperor of Anyue is a wise monarch."
"An Yue has already issued an imperial decree and laws to take good care of your relatives and friends."
"Your loved ones will live their lives in peace and safety."
After crying for a while, the souls of the people realized that nothing could be changed.
I can only accept this fact, and at least I feel a little comforted in my heart.
Knowing that relatives and friends will live well and be taken care of can help put the worries at ease.
"I came to the underworld to help you complete your soul and enter reincarnation as soon as possible."
Li Yuan took out a dark blue lotus, which exuded a black aura.
There is a mysterious power lingering about it, which is extremely magical.
"I remember that soldiers from Anyue also died. Do you know where they are?"
Li Yuan asked softly and looked back at the ghost soldier.
The ghost soldier was quite smart. Seeing that the immortal was interested, he hurried to look for him.
The people pointed in the direction where the ghost soldiers left.
A moment later, the ghost soldier returned with the souls of thousands of Anyue soldiers.
Li Yuan gave some spiritual objects as a token of his gratitude.
The ghost soldier bowed, took the spiritual object, and left happily.
The soldiers’ souls, their armor stained with blood, their spirits unyielding.
When I saw Li Yuan, my eyes welled up with tears and I was deeply moved.
Which mountain god would go to the underworld specifically to help a mortal regain his soul?
In this vast world, I’m afraid the only one who can help me is my own mountain god!
Li Yuan talked with them briefly and then sacrificed the soul-guiding lotus.
The Soul-Guiding Lotus flew into the air, and a dark aura continued to spread, soon covering the entire sky.
A mysterious force began to fluctuate in the underworld.
"Who is using the elixir? Or... the soul-guiding lotus?!"
"The Soul-Guiding Lotus is worth more than a mansion in Heaven... He is such a prodigal son!"
Deep in the underworld, sounds of surprise and doubt were heard from certain places.
"Hush - stop talking nonsense, old man. It's that little evil star who killed the immortal!"
"I didn't get punished for beheading the gods in heaven, so we have to take good care of our underworld gods and make sure they don't get chopped off in vain!"
Other voices spoke up, stopping some of the prying eyes.
Unlike before, Li Yuan led the souls of his soldiers back home.
The souls of those soldiers were only torn to pieces in the fighting, but their souls are still in that area.
These souls, harmed by demons, are truly incomplete and need to be restored with the mysterious power of elixir.
The soul-guiding lotus emits infinite light, illuminating this area.
In the gray and dark land, it was as if a dark "sun" rose up in an instant.
However, the Soul-Guiding Lotus is so powerful that the power of the elixir directly encompasses the entire area.
Not only did it heal the people of Anyue, it also enveloped all the souls nearby.
The power of the Soul-Guiding Lotus immediately begins to heal all souls unconditionally.
Countless broken souls began to re-condense into the missing body parts.
On the other side of the Naihe Bridge, in the ancient pavilion.
A sigh was heard.
"Daoyou draws the immortal lotus to bless those around you."
"On behalf of these living souls, I am grateful for the kindness of fellow Taoists."
In the ancient pavilion, a figure in a red skirt stood out. She was a little hunched, with an old face, but her posture was detached.
He bowed slightly in the direction of Li Yuan.
Countless souls were ignorant, but they bowed to Li Yuan instinctively.
Li Yuan did not expect that the effect of the Soul-Guiding Lotus was so powerful that it could actually heal the souls of an entire land.
These are not just the thousands of souls of Anyue people, I'm afraid there are millions.
"I did not intend to involve cause and effect. I am truly sorry."
Li Yuan returned the gift to Meng Po with an embarrassed smile on his face.
Meng Po chuckled softly, her voice was hoarse, but full of kindness and radiance.
"This is the blessing of a complete soul, but it does not count as karma from the past. Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry."
"Even if there is some involvement, I will take it on behalf of you."
"It should be to repay fellow Taoist for his kindness to these souls."
Li Yuan understood and continued to activate the Soul-Guiding Lotus. He also nodded and chuckled, then bowed to express his gratitude.
