Go to the Netherworld

Chapter 141 Go to Youjiuyuan

Li Wuxiang was silent for a moment and hesitated in his heart.

This was often the case in his previous life, but in this life, he rarely hesitated for such a long time before doing something.

Mei Zhangjian waited patiently for him. After she had eaten two more snacks, Li Wuxiang asked: "If I don't go to Youjiuyuan, will I still be a swordsman?"

"Forget it. But it's just like the outer disciples of some sects. Whenever you are bullied or humiliated, your fellow disciples will not turn a blind eye. The difference is that Pan Muyun and the others should have told you, you do some of the work in the sect. No."

"But the visible benefit of doing these things is just more materials for practice. You are now a golden elixir. Such cultivation can be achieved by even the sect leader in some small and small casual cultivating sects. It requires Whatever it is, be careful and spend a few more years and decades to pick it up. Go buy it, exchange it, and you can get it gradually. Others don't want to waste time because their youth and life span are limited. Although Qingnangxian cannot say that he has the same life span as heaven and earth, you have already gathered three flowers and made up for the longevity. The five qi can take five to six hundred years before they gradually wither, so there is no need to worry about this."

"Besides, you did these things in Coffin Mountain and saved two of your fellow disciples. With such merit, the ministerial medicine sect will prepare all the medicines you need during the protection of the elixir. You only need to find the monarch medicine yourself." Mei Zhangjian looked at him, "I said you are the vitality seed of Jianzong, and you are also a member of my lineage. If you don't go to Youjiuyuan, you can come to me if you have anything."

Li Wuxiang thought for a while: "Senior sister, since you said so, I will say it directly. You Jiuyuan, is there any infighting or other nonsense in our sect?"

A smile broke out on Mei Zhangjian's face: "Well, I guess that's what you're worried about. Yes. This kind of thing is inevitable in places with people, but it's different now than before."

"Over the years, people have been talking about the 'Six Mysterious Sects', but if it were earlier, more than three hundred years ago, more than a thousand years ago, sometimes they would still talk about the 'Seven Mysterious Sects', and there was the Sword Sect in it. ”

"At that time, there were many disciples in the sect. They thought that with many disciples and strong power, things would be easier to do. But there were two disadvantages. One was that there were many people and it was easy to be found. The other was that there were many people and there was a need for class. Obviously, there will be people fighting for power and internal strife, and you already know the outcome.”

"So after Jiang Jie became the leader, we are all brothers and sisters. The skills we practice actually have some influence on people's temperaments. For example, people from Zhenxiang Cult may have a purer and blunter temperament. You It’s not impossible to say that you are stupid. The True Immortal Body Dao Chapter of Sword Sect will make people have a slightly more open-minded temperament.”

"There are few disciples in the sect now. When selecting people to be swordsmen, they first look at their clear minds and then their qualifications. In addition, there are some tests and trials, so the people in the sect today are much better than before. "No. As for the internal fighting you said, there is some internal fighting. Jiang Jie and I are fighting among ourselves."

"It's just that I will tell this kind of thing - Jiang Jie knows it, and the people in the sect also know it. When I say it nicely, I tell him that you are mature and prudent, Senior Brother Jiang. When I say it badly, I say he is shrinking. The head of the turtle.”

Li Wuxiang was stunned when he heard this: "Then...senior sister, I was thinking about this when I was in Coffin City before. Why is Master Jiang so shy?"

"Because he feels that the Taiyi Sect didn't do anything in the past, and that's why it's like this today. If you ask him about this matter, Jiang Jie will tell you that the Sword Sect needs to recuperate and preserve its strength now. Ask him again about the situation outside the diocese right now. How to deal with the urgent situation of expansion? He will tell you that this is the general trend and it will happen sooner or later. "

"What he said is actually correct. After more than three hundred years ago, no matter how many disciples we have now, this kind of thing will only happen for a hundred or two hundred years, but I think the sect should be ambitious. Not Muqi." Mei Zhangjian sighed, "If we just want to survive, there is still a way out - just withdraw from Zhonglu."

"Beyond the Central Continent, across the Sea of ​​Silence, there is also a vast expanse of world. There are demons and demons living there. The Sword Sect will not be afraid of them if they go there. However, if the Swordsman leaves the Central Continent, the thirty-six sects will be destroyed. It won’t take a thousand years, but within a few hundred years, no one may know the name Donghuang Taiyi.”

Li Wuxiang nodded: "I understand, Master Jiang is a conservative, and senior sister, you are a radical."

Mei Zhangjian couldn't help but laugh: "That's hard to say. If I had been the leader back then, I might have thought, how can the Six-Bud Xuanjiao be scared? How can we strengthen the sect? How can we save Taiyi? But now I'm not the leader. These are the things Jiang Jie should think about."

"I have already mentioned the situation. In the current situation, it seems that Jiang Jie really has nothing to do. But since he has become the leader, it is his duty to come up with a solution when there is no other way. Otherwise, what should he do? So I still have to say what I want to say.”

"This is the current internal fighting in the Sword Sect. Many of my fellow disciples like me think this is not possible, but they can't think of a better way. So since Jiang Jie has been appointed as the leader, we must obey his orders, and then be like me In this way, I can do something that I think is useful but not against the overall situation - so until today, I did not kill anyone."

Mei Zhangjian thought again: "The sect is different from other sects. If you really go to Youjiuyuan, you can say whatever you want to say. If one day my fellow sects think that I am more suitable to be the leader, then I will Naturally, Jiang Jie will be forced to abdicate. But in private, there will be no such dirty things as before or elsewhere. "

"Then, the fact that I am Qingnangxian——"

"As long as we know it ourselves. Don't think too bad of Zongli, but don't think too good of Zongli. Where there are people, there will naturally be right and wrong. If you are determined to go to Zongli, I will recommend you to be a Zhili Sword. If you become a sword bearer, you can help me if I want to be a leader in the future."

"And Sword Master Cui doesn't want me to be the leader, but thinks that we should use the last escape route as soon as possible - crossing the Silent Sea to go elsewhere. So maybe people of his lineage won't like you. Swordsmen are all upright. If an upright person doesn't like you, it's sometimes more uncomfortable than a sinister person."

Li Wuxiang nodded. Now he knew what he wanted to know most. In fact, the most important thing is not what the atmosphere in the Sword Sect is like, but the matter about Jiang Jie.

Now he finally had a guess in his mind - why he was possessed by the true spirit of Taiyi.

Perhaps this should be said in reverse - why Taiyi did not choose to fall in love with Jiang Jie, but chose a newcomer like himself.

Maybe Mei Zhangjian's statement is right, Jiang Jie is too mature and prudent. Taiyi believed that Jiang Jie was no longer suitable to lead Taiyi Sect, so he planned to support himself to become the new leader.

When he thought he had an external evil, Li Wuxiang was thinking about how to get rid of him.

When he thought it was Taiyi, he felt a little more relieved. When he had another one-sided argument with Taiyi in Coffin City, he felt more at ease.

Because Taiyi really helped that time, and later when he challenged Wu Meng, who invited the true spirit of the Five Mountains True Form Emperor, Taiyi also seemed to take the initiative to help - he wanted to escape into the Xuanguang Mirror, and he wanted to escape into the illusion of Ranshan, Both times, warning signs suddenly arose in my heart. This was undoubtedly Taiyi's handiwork.

It seems that some things need to be quarreled and talked about.

He is not an awkward person, and he does not have such bullshit thoughts as "Why should I take on such a big responsibility?" or "I don't want to be an emperor who controls the power of the world at all, but just want to live the life of Xianyun Yehe." .

So if you really want to compete with many of the strongest people in the world... no problem, it's fun and not boring!

So Li Wuxiang said: "Senior Sister Mei, I want to go to Youjiuyuan."

Mei Zhangjian smiled and looked very happy: "Okay. I will take you to Youjiuyuan. The first step is to find a place with people."

It took the two three days to find a village, but they didn't know the name. Because he did not go into the village or town, he grabbed a person and asked about where the cemeteries near the village and town were.

Then I found a hill near the village and saw the graves on it.

Many graves have almost lost their shape as mounds, and have gradually turned into barren hills with lush vegetation. Mei Zhangjian chose a more imposing one with a tombstone, and then dug two deep pits three feet to the northeast of the tomb.

It is not a long coffin, but looks like it is meant to bury people upright.

The excavated soil was spread to other places, leaving only a small patch.

Then Mei Zhangjian said: "Wait a moment, we have to wait until Zi hour, when the Yin Qi is the strongest."

Li Wuxiang thought for a while: "Senior sister, Lou He said that You Jiuyuan is in the Netherworld Scroll..."

"That's right. It's in the Netherworld Scroll, not the earthly world, so we have to use the dug-out past."

"Then the Netherworld Scroll - where is the Netherworld Scroll hidden here? Is it a secret?"

"Yes. Have you guessed before? Where might it be?"

"I have guessed. For example, I once thought that maybe Master Jiang was in some big city, pretending to be an expert or a bookseller, and sold the Netherworld Scroll to a random person. And now the Netherworld Scroll is on that person's bookshelf, and everyone I didn’t expect the swordsman to be hiding inside.”

"Later I heard from Lou He that the Netherworld Scroll was actually very big, and you took him to see it with his own eyes, so I thought maybe we had built a village in a remote place. The owner of the village only knew that he was working for a big shot, but he didn't He didn’t know who it was, so there was a secret room in his house, and the Netherworld Scroll was hidden in it—he didn’t know that the person coming in and out of Zhuangzi was the swordsman.”

"These ideas of yours are very good. Oh, if I become a leader one day, maybe I will follow what you said."

"That?"

"I don't know either. Every new leader will hide the Netherworld Scroll in different places. There are some things in the sect that only the leader can know." She looked up at the sky, and then looked at the digging on the ground. "It's almost done, okay, let's go."

She walked to the tomb, so Li Wuxiang also jumped into the tomb. Just as he was about to pull some weeds on the side and cover himself, he heard Mei Zhangjian say: "You... what are you doing?"

"Aren't you not in the earthly world?"

"That's not the case." Mei Zhangjian pulled him out with a smile, "How could he really bury himself? What an unlucky thing, this will be fine -"

She took out two talismans from her sleeves, moved her fingers and tore them into two rough little figures, and handed one to Li Wuxiang: "Drop a drop of blood."

Then he dropped the blood on the villain's head, threw it into the tomb, sprinkled a handful of soil on top, and then sat down next to the tomb.

"Now we have to wait. Breathe inside, don't pant...oh, you can't pant either."

Li Wuxiang also sat down like her. Looking at her smile just now, he felt that maybe she was teasing him on purpose, which made him couldn't help but smile in his heart: "Actually, I can also breathe, but it's of no use."

There is no wind tonight, the tips of the weeds around us are swaying slightly, and there are still many insects chirping in the fields. But about a quarter of an hour later, the chirping of insects suddenly stopped, and then a cool breeze blew near the two tombs.

Li Wuxiang immediately thought of Xu Daosheng - he was attacked by him and almost died when he was on Ranshan Mountain. He asked Feng Ji to bury him in a pit, and then there was such a dark wind. Later, he said that he managed to escape with his life by deceiving the ghost messenger who came to seduce the soul through the method of reincarnation in the dirty soil.

At that time, Li Wuxiang's cultivation was at the foundation-building realm of the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter, and he could only see the wind.

But now, he had an extra feeling - the wind was cold and not as light as a real breeze, but had a sticky feeling, as if it was an invisible snake.

This dark wind lingered around the two unsealed tombs for a while, stirring up a lot of dust and broken grass stems. It seemed that they were slightly confused about the tombs, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

At this time, Mei Zhangjian glanced at Li Wuxiang, and suddenly raised his hand to grab it in mid-air. Li Wuxiang immediately followed her example and grabbed a handful in mid-air.

Then there was a coolness between the fingers of his palm, as if a breeze had been caught by him and was traveling against his palm and around his fingertips.

Mei Zhangjian patted the Baihui point on the top of his head, and Li Wuxiang still followed her example.

After three more breaths, the things rolled up on the ground were suddenly carried by the dark wind and fell into the two tombs.

At this time, Mei Zhangjian spoke again: "The exercises of the Nether Sect are different from those of the Liubu Xuan Sect and the Taiyi Sect, and they were different during the Ye Dynasty. This is because the Nether Earth Mother enshrined by the Nether Sect is considered an innate god—— Before Taiyi preached, he had already gone to the Netherworld in the cycle of life and death. It was only after Taiyi became a true immortal that he knew that the Netherworld Mother was still there. "

"But at that time, Nether Earth Mother was not considered to have developed spiritual wisdom. It was Emperor Tai Tai who taught her some cultivation methods, and she became the seventh disciple under the emperor. She gradually developed spiritual wisdom, and gradually became a golden immortal. ”

"Disciples of the Netherworld are not living people, but souls in the Netherworld. When Taiyi is still there, when people die, what remains in the world is the human soul, what goes to the Netherworld is the soul of the earth, and what goes to the wonderful realm of Taiyi It’s Tianhun——”

"The Wonderful Realm of Taiyi?" Li Wuxiang was stunned, "People from the Six Mysteries Sect go to the Wonderful Realm after they ascend... Does Taiyi also have a Wonderful Realm? I have never heard of it before."

"You should have been to Lingshan many times - that's Lingshan. The wonderful land of Taiyi in the past was not what Lingshan is like now. It was after Taiyi was suppressed that Lingshan became what it is today. So most of the resentful ghosts in Lingshan are The soul of the past."

"You also know that people have three souls and seven souls. After a person dies, the heavenly soul goes to the wonderful realm, the earth soul goes to the netherworld, and the human soul remains in the world. After death, the temperament of a person often changes greatly, because the three souls are separated. Now Xu Many heavenly souls are trapped in Lingshan and have become resentful ghosts, so there will naturally be fewer people in this world.”

"The heavenly soul has the memory of countless reincarnations and is the source of supernatural powers. The human soul is the person's current life, and the earth soul is the karma of this life. Therefore, among the three souls, the earth soul is the dullest. Therefore, the current practice When people go to Lingshan, they have to separate their souls from the earth. Once they are harmed, the damage will not be too great. "

"Most of the disciples of the Netherworld are cultivated by the earthly souls in the Netherworld. They have spiritual wisdom, but they are very ignorant and dull compared to ordinary monks. For example, the two Netherworld messengers who came just now were attracted by this They were cheated from the tombs and blood essence. When we caught them just now, you thought that you had caught a little of their true spirits. Now that you have poured them into the Baihui Cave, this true spirit will help us lead the way."

"...Guide the way?"

"Youjiuyuan is between Lingshan and Netherworld. Come on." Mei Zhangjian jumped into the tomb and disappeared into the darkness instantly.

Li Wuxiang didn't have time to be surprised. He was stunned for a moment and immediately jumped in -

When I looked into the tomb just now, because it was dark and the digging was so deep, it seemed as if it had become bottomless and I didn't know where it led.

But as soon as he jumped in, he felt his feet hit something, as if they hit the ground... No, that was the ground under the tomb!

"...Senior Sister Mei?" Li Wuxiang was stunned for a while, then stretched out his hand to touch the wall of the pit, "Senior Sister Mei...are you still there?"
