The boundless darkness is eroding in waves. en8.
The dome, walls, and floor here are all made of bones. The bones of these huge ferocious beasts have been petrified due to their age, but they are still as hard as ever. Just their breath can make people kneel on the ground, not daring to resist. White bone spurs are crookedly covered in every corner of this place. The ferocious and primitive appearance makes people wonder how glorious the owner of these bones must have been countless years ago.
Yun Qing sat in the middle of the empty pagoda, quietly meditating on a huge and flat skull.
It seemed to her that about three days had passed, but this illusion showed no sign of fading away. But she wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, there should be no danger on Amang's side.
Illusions are mostly constructed based on inner flaws. If it hadn't been for this time, Yun Qing herself wouldn't have expected that her inner barrier would be here.
Yaolan Tower.
The burial place of all monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is also the place where they are banished and banned forever.
Monsters come here when they feel their death is coming. From ancient times to the present, no one knows how many monsters have buried their bones here, let alone how many ancient and modern beings from Zhenshuo have turned their corpses into parts of the Yaolan Tower. In short, once you enter here, there is no precedent for getting out.
It was Yun Qing who stole the suppressed Heavenly Book from Yaolan Tower.
As for why she and Aman appeared in such a place, she had no memory at all.
"Am I afraid... I know it's an illusion but I dare not go out." Yun Qing smiled bitterly and finally decided to get up.
How can you know how to break the illusion if you don't even try
She adjusted her clothes and jumped down from the huge white bones that were a hundred meters high. Like a shooting star, she drew a bright color in this endless darkness. The moment before landing, dark flames ignited from her feet. The landing slowed down, and Yun Qing stood smoothly on the white bone spurs below.
These terrifying monster auras didn't put much pressure on her, but the never-ending darkness did make people feel a sense of hopelessness.
Yun Qing walked on these bones step by step, jumping from one to another, but there were countless bones waiting for her ahead.
This is a road with no end in sight. It seems that she and Aman have been walking on this road since she had memories.
This road seems to be spiraling downwards, with no beginning or end in sight. Along the road there were nothing but bones. As time passed, Yun Qing couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his mind. At least Aman was by her side at that time, but now, she was the only one walking in the illusion. There was nothing but darkness and bones. There was no light in Yaolan Tower, and the endless darkness filled all the emptiness here. She couldn't even see herself.
As she kept walking down the bones, Yun Qing couldn't help but have random thoughts, such as whether she was walking in a big circle.
Yun Qing sighed: "It turns out that the very beginning is the place with the biggest holes in my heart."
Whether she decisively seizes the inheritance of the Great Sun Black Heavenly Wheel in the Qingdi Shrine, or whether she plots against the Heavenly Altar at the Hundred Flowers Festival, these are all based on one foundation, that is, she has no choice. Return. If you don't take risks like this, there is only a dead end.
As long as she takes the Book of Heaven and walks out of the Yaolan Tower, there will be no chance of looking back. She could only fight to survive again and again, using all means and risking her life.
But what if the time was transferred to before she stole the Book of Heaven
If Yun Qing knew the difficulties ahead and escaped death, would she still choose to take the Book of Heaven and rush out of this bone tower, this eternal place of death
This is the purpose of this illusion.
"If I don't have the courage to take the first step, will I be trapped in this illusion forever?" The black flames at Yun Qing's feet grew stronger and stronger, burning from her ankles upwards, and finally almost half of her body His body was covered in flickering flames. en8.
Since she dared to go against heaven and steal the Book of Heaven, now of course she dares to walk this extremely dangerous and endless road of bones again!
As he moved forward step by step, his true energy was almost exhausted, but the black demonic flames on Yun Qing's body became more and more arrogant.
"arrive… "
As her will became more determined and her momentum became more and more high-spirited, the exit of Yaolan Pagoda became closer and closer. The little glimmer of light at the exit was also the beginning of her escape.
"Go out from here and keep walking until you are out of the control of heaven..."
Yun Qing took a deep breath and took the last step. This choice was very important to her. She was convinced that the path she was taking now was not a forced choice, but a true choice made by her own heart.
The darkness in her mind was swept away, and a huge amount of information poured into her soul. The next thing that appeared in front of her eyes was the door of the ruined temple.
Time seemed to go back to before they entered the temple in an instant, and the experiences in Yaolan Pagoda seemed like a dream.
She glanced at Song Liyou and Zheng Zhenzhen who were in a daze around them, as well as Amang who was completely stunned. The temple in front of me seemed to have experienced thousands of years in an instant, and turned into ashes in an instant.
The temple collapsed into ruins, and a few pages of golden paper danced without wind, fluttering on Yun Qing, Song Liyou and Zheng Zhenzhen.
Yun Qing took one, and the golden paper turned into fine golden light and submerged into her body.
"Ah!!" Zheng Zhenzhen hugged Yun Qing as if he had just recovered.
"...What's the matter?" Yun Qing hadn't had time to digest the contents of the golden paper.
"Did you see it?" Zheng Zhenzhen looked at Yun Qing with a pale face.
"I think what we saw should not be the same thing." Yun Qing said, looking at Song Liyou.
His face looked a little unhappy, and he reached out and picked up the golden paper in front of him.
"Is this inheritance?" Song Liyou's piece of golden paper also turned into little golden light and sank into his body.
Only then did Zheng Zhenzhen react. She picked up the one in front of her and said to Yun Qing: "I remember we lived in this temple together, and then your injury suddenly worsened and you ran out of breath soon... Then the monk said there was I need to find a way to save you, he wants me..."
Zheng Zhenzhen's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked like he wanted to vomit: "You want me to feed you people's hearts... It disgusts me to death!"
"Then did you kill someone for her?" Song Liyou asked maliciously. If you killed someone, then Zheng Zhenzhen would have broken the Taoist heart. If you didn't kill someone, then it would be considered as instigating the relationship between her and Yun Qing. .
"Of course not!" Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhenzhen answered in a matter-of-fact manner, "Sages forbid it to harm life through death."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look, this is the person you want to take with you." Song Liyou pushed Yun Qing with his elbow.
"I gave her my heart." Zheng Zhenzhen replied.
Song Liyou's proud expression froze on his face, his eyes filled with disbelief. He looked at Zheng Zhenzhen without saying a word for a long time.
Yun Qing's expression didn't change much: "So it seems that the inheritance in this temple has set up some barriers to torture one's mind... Where is Liyou? What happened to you?"
Song Liyou's face suddenly turned ugly.
"nothing."
"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Yun Qing didn't want to care about him at the moment.
She continued: "It seems that we fell into an illusion when we walked in front of this temple, and then everyone passed a certain Taoist test and accepted the inheritance from this temple."
"What did you get?"
"The art of giving up one's life!" Zheng Zhenzhen rushed to say.
This is a small path in Guiling Temple. It is quite profound and can even bring people back to life after completing it. However, it also has extremely high requirements for the Taoist mind. It is said that this line of inheritance has been discontinued for several generations, and no one has ever succeeded in cultivating it.
Yun Qing thought about Zheng Zhenzhen's experience, and it seemed like a test of his heart to "sacrifice himself to help the world."
"Why should I tell you?" Song Liyou sneered.
"It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Anyway, there is no lineage in Buddhism that can teach ghosts." Yun Qing always had a cold look towards him.
Song Liyou was so angry that his nose twisted: "What about you? It seems that there is no Buddhist lineage that is compatible with the devil, right?"
"Unfortunately, what I got was not the Buddhist inheritance, but the mirage dream book in the side door." Yun Qing waved her hand in front of him, and Song Liyou's sight was instantly overwhelmed by countless peach blossoms, and there was also a faint fragrance of flowers.
But he recovered in just the blink of an eye.
"Is this what drags us into an illusion and tortures our minds?" Song Liyou said with a dark face.
"Yes, it seems that the old monk was transformed from the mirage book." Yun Qing nodded, "As soon as I broke through the illusion and took down the mirage book, you also escaped from the illusion, right?"
"That's right..." Song Liyou still had a bad look on his face, "But if I remember correctly, the Mirage Floating Dream Sect was wiped out hundreds of years ago. How could this inheritance appear here?"
"This ruined temple has something to do with Guiling Temple. You know, no one in the Seven Holy Lands is clean." Yun Qing explained casually.
There are 800 side disciples and 3000 left disciples. These are all casual cultivators outside the orthodox. Although the Mirage Dream Book is not an orthodox spiritual practice inheritance that can lead to enlightenment, it still has its own unique features. She carries the Heavenly Book, Song Liyou has been a Taoist for many years, and Zheng Zhenzhen is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. Even the few of them have been trapped here for so many days by the old monk who was transformed into the mirage floating dream book. The mirage floating dream book can be said to be one of the best in the world of illusion. It is unique in the world. You must know that they are all wise spiritual practitioners, and the old monk is just a dead creature, but none of them can defeat the other head-on.
"You knew this was Guiling Temple?!" Song Liyou was furious. He finally understood that Yun Qing had tricked them here even though he knew what was going on here.
Here Yun Qing is also sorting out the causes and consequences of this whole thing.
She thought that here was the secret method of the soul of Guiling Temple - the Lotus Heart Void Hidden Concept Method. She specially slowed down the affairs in Jiu Ming City in the south and took a long way to this ruined temple. Unexpectedly, it is true that this place is related to Guiling Temple, and it is also true that there is a legacy left behind, but there is something wrong with the content of the legacy.
If what she detected in Jingtian Palace using the Heavenly Book was wrong, it could only mean one thing.
She was plotted by that terrifying national master.
She can't guess the opponent's strength now. Since he is an outsider, he must have the ability to cover up the secrets or even tamper with them. So, the other party knew about her existence when she entered Jingtian Palace, so why did he wait until the Hundred Flowers Festival before taking action? Or even the Hundred Flowers Festival was a deliberate failure on his part, so what did he mean by pointing this path to her in such a subtle way
No matter what, he at least gave Yun Qing a clear guideline - there is a divine soul inheritance in Guiling Temple, and the concept of meditation is hidden in the void of the lotus heart.
Since there is a way, Yun Qing dares to go on it. She has always been willing to take it.
After just a few thoughts flashed through his mind, Yun Qing had already made up his mind.
Yun Qing's mind turned to the south, and the Book of Heaven was operating at full speed. On the wall of Jiu Ming City, the white-haired Uncle Cha happened to be looking towards where she was. The two of them were thousands of miles apart, but their eyes met in the void.
"Forget it, Xie Yao is safe in his hands for the time being... Then the rest..." Yun Qing thought.
"Are you listening to me?" There were veins on Song Liyou's forehead. He felt that Yun Qing was avoiding his topic.
"Song Liyou, let me ask you, are you willing to completely get rid of the previous karma and start over?" Yun Qing did not answer his question, but asked him another question.
"Don't change the subject, let me ask you..." Song Liyou still felt that she was deliberately avoiding it.
Yun Qing interrupted him: "I'm only asking once, are you willing to completely get rid of the previous karma, smash the foundation, and rebuild your life?"
"..." Seeing that she was serious about what she said, Song Liyou couldn't help but remain silent for a while, "I became enlightened when I destroyed my body, why do you need to ask again?"
Yun Qing nodded and said with some approval: "I said before that I want to show you a way."
"You mean...?"
"Now go to Jiu Ming City in the south and find this old man." Yun Qing waved his hand and used the mirage technique he had just learned to transform into Uncle Cha. "Let him crush your foundation and rebuild the ghost path for you."
"Ghost way?! Are you kidding me?" Song Liyou almost jumped up.
"It's not those messy inheritances, but the orthodoxy of Ghost Dao in Fengdu City. You won't regret it." Yun Qing waved away the phantom, "It's okay if you don't go, but we still have to say goodbye."
"What do you mean? Yun Qing, are you leaving?" Zheng Zhenzhen was listening quietly at first, but as soon as Yun Qing mentioned "farewell", she became nervous.
"It's not me, it's us." Yun Qing smiled gently at her.
"You guys? What are your plans?" Song Li was puzzled, "Wouldn't it be safer to add me? Don't forget who rescued you from the Temple of Heaven this time!"
"We are going to Mianfeng Gallery, could you..." Yun Qing raised his sleeves to hide his narrow smile.
Mianfenglang only accepts female disciples.
"Ah!" Song Liyou spat, "I know what you mean. Although I don't know what you have in mind for Mianfenglang, but since it is the orthodox inheritance that can become a great avenue, I am still willing to give it a try."
"By the way, Xie Yao is probably also in Jiu Ming City now..." Yun Qing added.
"Don't think about me helping him!" Song Liyou said angrily. He and Xie Yao had always been at odds.
"You are overthinking. There will be chaos in the south. At that time, you have too much time to take care of yourself. How can you help him? I'm just telling you." Yun Qing shook his head.
Song Liyou tossed his sleeves and walked to the edge of the cliff. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned around and said, "I always thought you knew a little too much... Even if you were in the shrine before, maybe there was one in Shiwandashan." It is recorded in the secret book, but things in this world are changing so much, how did you know that Xie Yao was in Jiu Ming City at this time, how did you know that this old man could help me rebuild the ghost path, and how did you know that there would be great chaos in the south?"
Yun Qing shook his head and didn't answer.
Song Liyou smiled heartily: "Forget it, I didn't expect you to tell me. Although I have had many holidays with you, if my restoration of the ghost path goes smoothly this time, I will definitely repay you!"
"Have a nice trip." Yun Qing and Zheng Zhenzhen both looked at his fading figure.
Song Liyou waved goodbye, relied on the wind to control the wind, and fell straight down the cliff.
"The wind is blowing and the snow is blowing, but I am worried about leaving alone; I cannot bear to be drunk, I am leaving myself alone in vain; the prosperity is about to pass away, and the gentleman abandons his scriptures; the sun and the moon have no light, and the saint is separated from his virtue!"
He came here to indulge himself, so he should leave singing!
