Wave after wave of borderless darkness eroded.
The dome, the four walls, and the ground here are all paved with white bones. The bones of these huge beasts have been petrified due to their age, but they are still as hard as ever. The breath alone can make people kneel on the ground without daring to resist. The bony bone spurs are all over every corner of the place crookedly. The ferocious and simple appearance makes one wonder how brilliant 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.
In her mind, about three days had passed, but this illusion did not show any signs of fading. But she was not in a hurry, anyway, there should be no danger on Amon's side.
The illusion is mostly constructed based on the flaws in her heart. If it weren't for this time, Yun Qing herself would not have expected her heartbreak to be here.
Yaoyan Tower.
The burial place of thousands of monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is also a place where they are exiled and banned forever.
The Yaozu will come here when they feel that their death is approaching. From ancient times to the present, no one knows how many monsters have buried their bones here, let alone how many shocking existences have turned their corpses into a part of the Yaoyan Pagoda. In short, once you enter here, there is no precedent for going out.
It was Yun Qing who stole the suppressed Heavenly Book from Yaoyan Pagoda.
As for why she and Amon 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.
If you don't even try, how will you know how to break the illusion
She straightened her clothes and jumped down from the huge white bone at a height of 100 meters, like a shooting star, drawing a bright color in the endless darkness. A moment before landing, a pitch-black flame ignited from under her feet, and the landing slowed down, and Yun Qing stood steadily on the white bone spur below.
These terrifying monster breaths did not bring her too much pressure, but the endless 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 still countless bones waiting for her.
This is a road with no end in sight. She seems to have been walking on this road with Aman since she had memories.
This road seems to be spiraling downwards, with neither a beginning nor an end. Along the road, there were only white bones and white bones. After a long time, Yun Qing couldn't help wondering if there was something wrong with her mind. At that time, at least Amon was by her side, but now, she is the only one walking in the illusion. Nothing but darkness and bones. There was no light in Yaoyan Pagoda, and the endless darkness filled all the emptiness here, and she couldn't even see herself.
Walking down the bone all the time, Yun Qing couldn't help thinking wildly, for example, whether she was going around in a big circle.
Yun Qing sighed: "So that's how it is. The very beginning is the place with the biggest loophole in my heart."
Whether it was decisively seizing the inheritance of the Great Sun Hei Tianlun in the Qingdi Shrine, or trying to plan for the Heavenly Altar at the Hundred Flowers Festival, these are all based on one foundation, that is, she has no way out. Return. Otherwise, there is only one dead end.
As long as she takes the heavenly book and walks out of this Yaoyan Tower, there will be no chance of turning back. She can only survive one death at a time, by any means and with all her life.
But what if the time is reversed to before she stole the heavenly book
If Yun Qing knew about all the difficulties ahead, and was close to death, would she choose to rush out of this Pagoda of White Bone, this eternal dead place, with the Book of Heaven
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 under Yun Qing's feet burned more and more intensely, burning upwards from the ankles, and finally almost killed half of her. The body is covered in the flickering flames.
Since she dared to go against the sky and steal the heavenly book back then, of course she dared to walk this extremely dangerous endless road of bones again now!
With such a step forward, the true energy is close to exhaustion, but the black magic flame on Yun Qing's body is getting more and more arrogant.
"arrive… "
As her will became firmer and her momentum became more and more high-spirited, the exit of Yaoyan Tower was getting closer and closer. The little glimmer of light at the exit was also the beginning of her escape.
"Go out from here, keep going until you get out of the control of the heaven..."
Yun Qing took a deep breath and took the last step. This choice is very important to her. She is convinced that the path she is taking now is not forced and helpless, but a real choice in her heart.
The darkness in her mind was swept away, and a huge amount of information poured into her soul, and what appeared before her eyes was the gate of the dilapidated temple.
Time seemed to return to before they entered the temple in an instant, and those experiences in Yaoyan Pagoda seemed like a dream.
She glanced around Song Liyou and Zheng Zhenzhen who were in a daze, and Aman who was completely in a daze. The temple in front of me seemed to have experienced thousands of years in an instant, and turned into fly ash in an instant.
The temple collapsed into ruins, and a few pages of golden paper danced without wind, fluttering and falling on Yunqing, Song Liyou and Zheng Zhenzhen.
Yun Qing took one, and the golden paper turned into fine golden light, sinking into her body.
"Ah!!" Zheng Zhen hugged Yun Qing as if he had just recovered from his shock.
"... 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 was a little ugly, and he reached out to pick up the golden paper in front of him.
"Is this inheritance?" Song Liyou's piece of golden paper also turned into dots of golden light and entered his body.
Zheng Zhenzhen didn't realize it at this time, 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 deteriorated, and you lost your breath soon... Then the monk said yes A way to save you, he wants me..."
Zheng Zhenzhen's face turned pale suddenly, showing a nauseous look: "I want you to feed your heart... I'm so disgusted!"
"Then did you kill someone for her?" Song Liyou asked maliciously, if she killed a life, then Zheng Zhenzhen would be regarded as having broken her Dao heart, if she didn't kill, then it would be considered to provoke the relationship between her and Yun Qing .
"Of course not!" I didn't expect Zheng Zhenzhen to answer it as a matter of course, "If you hurt life with death, the sage forbids it."
"Tsk tsk tsk, look, this is the person you want to take on the road." Song Liyou pushed Yun Qing with his elbow.
"I gave her my heart." Zheng Zhenzhen continued to reply.
Song Liyou's complacent expression froze on his face, his eyes were full of disbelief, he looked at Zheng Zhenzhen for a long time without saying a word.
Yun Qing's expression didn't change much: "It seems that the inheritance in this temple has set up some barriers to torture Dao's heart... Where is Li You? What happened to you?"
Song Liyou's expression turned ugly.
"nothing."
"It's fine if you don't want to say it." Yun Qing didn't want to bother him too much right now.
She continued: "It seems that when we walked to the gate of this temple, we fell into an illusion, and then everyone passed a certain test of Taoism and accepted the inheritance from this temple."
"What did you get?"
"Give up your life!" Zheng Zhenzhen rushed to say.
This is a small path in Guiling Temple, which is quite profound, and it can even bring the dead back to life after it is completed. However, it also has extremely high requirements for Dao Xin. It is said that this line of inheritance has been broken for several generations, and no one has ever completed it.
Yun Qing thought about Zheng Zhenzhen's experience, and it really looked like a test of the heart of "sacrificing one's life to help the world".
"Why should I tell you?" Song Liyou sneered.
"It's the same whether you say it or not. Anyway, there is no lineage in Buddhism that can teach ghosts." Yun Qing always looked at him indifferently.
Song Liyou was so angry that his nose was crooked: "What about you? It seems that there is no lineage in Buddhism that is compatible with the way of demons, right?"
"Unfortunately, what I got was not the inheritance of Buddhism, but the book of dreams from the side door." Yun Qing stretched out his hand in front of him, and Song Liyou's sight was instantly flooded by countless peach blossoms, and there was also a faint fragrance of flowers.
But in the blink of an eye, he recovered.
"Is this what dragged us into the illusion and tortured our hearts?" Song Liyou said with a dark face.
"That's right, it seems that the old monk was transformed from a book of dreams." Yun Qing nodded, "As soon as I broke the illusion and took down the book of dreams, you also escaped from the dream, right?"
"That's right..." Song Liyou still had a bad expression on his face, "But if I remember correctly, the Mirage Floating Dream Sect was wiped out hundreds of years ago, how could this lineage appear here?"
"This ruined temple has something to do with Guiling Temple. You know, none of the seven holy places is clean." Yun Qing explained casually.
There are eight hundred sects and three thousand sects. These are all casual cultivators outside the orthodox. Although the book of mirage and floating dreams is not an orthodox practice inheritance that can be obtained, it also has its unique features. She is pregnant with the heavenly book, Song Liyou has been in Taoism for many years, and Zheng Zhenzhen is the descendant of the Yellow Emperor. Even the old monks who have been transformed by this mirage dream book have been trapped here for so many days. It is unique in the world. You know, they are all spiritual and wise cultivators, and the old monk is just a dead thing, but none of them can defeat each other head-on.
"Did you know this is the place of Guiling Temple?!" Song Liyou was furious, he finally understood that Yun Qingming knew what was going on here and even deceived them.
Here Yun Qing is sorting out the cause and effect of the whole thing.
She thought that there was the secret method of Guiling Temple - Lianxinxukong Zangguan, so she deliberately slowed down the matter of Jiuming City in the south, and came to this ruined temple by a long way. Unexpectedly, it is true that it is related to Guiling Temple, and it is true that there is a legacy of inheritance, but there is something wrong with the content of the inheritance.
If the things she found in the Jingtian Palace with the Heavenly Book were wrong, it could only explain one thing.
She was tricked by that terrifying national teacher.
The opponent's strength is not something she can speculate now. Since he is a person outside the picture, he must have the ability to conceal the secret or even tamper with the secret. In other words, the other party knew of her existence when she entered the Jingtian Palace, so why should he wait until the Hundred Flowers Festival before making a move? Or even the Hundred Flowers Festival was caused by him deliberately releasing water, so what did he mean by pointing out this road to her so vaguely
In any case, he at least gave Yun Qing a clear guideline—there is a spiritual inheritance in Guiling Temple, and the idea of contemplation of the lotus heart and emptiness.
Since there is a way, Yun Qing dares to go on, she is always willing to go.
Just a few thoughts flashed by, and Yun Qing had already made up her mind.
Yun Qing's eyes turned to the south, and the heavenly book was running at full strength. On the wall of Jiuming City, the white-haired old tea uncle just happened to look towards where she was. The two were separated by thousands of miles, and 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?" Song Liyou had blue veins on his 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 didn't answer his question, but instead asked him another question.
"Don't change the subject, I'm asking 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 the whole life?"
"..." Seeing her seriousness, Song Liyou couldn't help being silent for a while, "I was awakened when I destroyed my body, why do you need to ask again?"
Yun Qing nodded, and said with some approval: "I said before, I want to show you a way."
"You mean...?"
"Now go to Jiuming City in the south and look for this old man." Yun Qing waved his hand, and used the mirage technique he just learned to transform into the appearance of Uncle Cha, "Let him smash the foundation for you and rebuild the ghost way."
"Ghost way?! Are you kidding me?" Song Liyou almost jumped up.
"It's not those messy inheritances, but the orthodoxy of ghosts in Fengdu City, you won't regret it." Yun Qing waved away the phantom, "You don't have to go, but we still have to say goodbye."
"What do you mean? Yunqing, are you leaving?" Zheng Zhenzhen was listening quietly, but when Yunqing said "don't pass", 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're going to Mianfenglang, don't you..." Yun Qing raised her sleeves to hide her narrow smile.
Mianfeng Gallery only accepts female disciples.
"Ah bah!" Song Liyou spat, "I know what you mean, although I don't know what you are planning to do with Mianfenglang, but since it is the orthodox inheritance that can become the Dao, I am still willing to give it a try."
"By the way, Xie Yao is probably also in Jiuming City now..." Yun Qing added.
"Don't think of me helping him!" Song Li said angrily, he and Xie Yao had always been at odds.
"If you think too much, there will be great chaos in the south. At that time, you won't be able to take care of yourself. How can you help him? I just want to tell you." Yun Qing shook her head.
Song Liyou flicked his sleeves, walked to the edge of the cliff, suddenly seemed to remember something, he turned around and said: "I always thought you knew a little too much...whether you were in the Jingu before, maybe there is something in Shiwan Dashan. According to the secret book, but the world is changing, how do you know that Xie Yao is in Jiuming City at this time, how do you know that this old man can help me rebuild the ghost way, and how do you know that there will be great chaos in the south?"
Yun Qing shook her head and did not answer.
Song Liyou smiled brightly: "Forget it, I didn't expect you to tell me. Although I have had a lot of festivals with you, if the rebuilding of the ghost way goes well this time, I will definitely repay you!"
"Bon voyage." Both Yun Qing and Zheng Zhenzhen looked at his gradually blurred figure.
Song Liyou waved goodbye, relying on the emptiness to control the wind, he fell straight down the cliff.
"When the wind blows and the snow comes, the vain leaves sorrow; when one cannot bear to be drunk, one leaves one's life in vain; the flourishing flower is about to pass away, and the gentleman leaves the scriptures; the sun and the moon have no light, and the sage leaves his virtue!"
He came here with all his heart, but he should also leave with singing!
