In Jiuming City, in the cellar of the teahouse, Song Liyou was shrouded in a grayish dead air.
There are three inheritances of Kecheng Dao in Fengdu City, the Netherworld Returns to the Complete Record, the Vientiane Senluo Record, and the Jiuqu Tongyoulu. The Nether Return is the most famous classic among them. Back then, Fengdu City intervened in the dynasty change between Tianzhu Kingdom and Dajing Kingdom. Ghosts descended in phantoms, and Fengdu City quietly stopped after the Holy Ring of the Temple of Heaven expanded to this point.
The words "the end of the nether world" can be regarded as exhausting the content of the entire inheritance. Nether means the underworld, which is the realm of ghosts that does not belong to any life. And ghosts, return to Ye, the dead return to the nether world. If this lineage is cultivated to the extreme, with a single thought, life can be turned into death, the place of birth can be transformed into the nether world, and the living can be turned into ghosts for the caster to drive.
Uncle Cha was able to pass on such inheritance at will, which made Song Liyou have a vague guess about his identity, but he never confirmed it to Uncle Cha.
For him, the most important thing right now is to comprehend the Netherworld.
Crush the foundation and end the cause and effect, which is not difficult for his long-established cultivation base, but the difficulty lies in comprehending the netherworld.
His physical body has been destroyed, he is haunted by death, he can also be regarded as a ghost, and he is in the netherworld all the time. But being in the Netherworld does not mean that he can comprehend the Netherworld, just like he was in the human world for hundreds of years before, and it is impossible to say that he has comprehended the human world.
Like Fengdu City itself, Netherworld is also an invisible and intangible existence, invisible to sight, silent to hearing, tasteless to smell, and insensible to touch.
Song Liyou has been sitting in meditation for three days, and apart from cultivating the true energy of ghosts, he still has no sense of the nether world. There are still more than ten days before the half-month appointment that old uncle Cha said, but Song Liyou felt a sense of anxiety in his heart for some reason today. Song Li thought worriedly, after entering the Tao, he had some natural feelings towards the secrets of heaven. This inexplicable feeling probably reminded him that time is running out, right
He looked up at the top of the dirty cellar. Through the walls and the roof, he saw that the demonic cloud outside the boundary that circulated the breath of the mighty dead was covered by it, and no light from the sky could seep in.
A little bit of starlight flickered in Song Liyou's soul. He entered the Tao with the stars in the sky. Although his foundation had been shattered, his comprehension of the Tao of stars was still there.
This starlight is very faint, twinkling, as if calling for something. The ancient light passed through thousands of worlds, was attracted by the starlight in his soul, and began to flash with it.
Phantoms of stars and stars gradually appeared around Song Liyou, but this phantom became very dim after being weakened by the demon cloud and the barrier.
"It's not enough..." He gritted his teeth, and the stars in his soul suddenly shone brightly as if they were burning.
One day and one night, Song Liyou finally brought enough starlight into this small room. He raised his hand and pinched a series of complicated formulas, his eyes reflected twinkling stars, with a kind of power that penetrated everything.
"Taishang Xuanyi, nine stars spit out essence; change in threes and fives, and see the ghosts in the cave!"
There are many ways to see invisible things in the world, such as the magic weapon of the Xian family, the burning fire spirit, or Yunqing, who tempers the body and opens the mind. But Song Liyou had just shattered his foundation, and there were too few spells he could use, so he could only use his understanding of the Tao, laboriously receive the starlight, and use specific stars to form an array, so that he could see the nether world in a short time.
Because of the obscuration of the demon cloud and the influence of the enchantment on the environment, this insight into the nether world will not last too long.
Song Liyou opened his eyes and observed the city carefully.
The disabled soldiers dragged their weapons slowly towards the gap in the barrier, and the monsters pierced by countless spears passed by them, and each other was quiet and did not respond at all. Soldiers nailed to the city wall, a child with a big hole in his forehead in the corner, a green-faced soldier wrapped in straw mats, and an old man whose entire lower body was charred. These seemingly long-dead people walk in the nether world as if they were alive, and they do what they want to do according to their instincts.
If ordinary people die, they cannot maintain the spirit in their hearts, and their vitality will be annihilated.
The difference between the dead and the living is probably that one maintains its existence with death energy, while the other maintains its existence with vitality.
The reason why the Netherworld is invisible is precisely because Song Liyou lives with the power of the soul, rather than actually being in a dead place and maintaining his existence with the aura of death.
If you don't realize the Tao, how can you enter the Tao? If you don't enter the Tao, how can you realize the Tao
If you don't die, how can you see the nether world? If you don't see the nether world, how can you die
A bright light flashed in Song Li's worrying heart, and the last bit of vitality in his body was cut off, and a thick dead air enveloped him. The phantoms of the stars around him gradually faded away, and a gloomy ghost city appeared behind him.
"Smash the foundation, end cause and effect, comprehend the nether world... I did it!"
Song Liyou got up, walked out of the cellar, and was looking for the mysterious old tea uncle, when suddenly there was a slight cracking sound from the barrier.
Outside the city walls, in the brass chariot.
Hu Hanmei suddenly stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, her expression was not as frivolous and charming as before, but instead had a gloomy and gloomy feeling.
She said loudly: "The law of the Yaoque Pagoda came just now, and the barrier must be broken today."
"All sons and daughters follow me into the city."
For the first time in more than ten days, this Hu Hanmei, who had a bewitching face, stepped off the brass chariot. Her clothes fluttered, and her figure looked very weak, but it was such a beauty who looked like she would fall if the wind blew, but made all the monsters bow their heads and bow down.
She walked on the clouds, and in an instant, she reached the crack, and she stretched out her finger, and the crack was like a ripe fruit, and it expanded a little.
Zhu Yuansheng's complexion changed drastically. He quickly commanded the catapult to stop the banshee, but before he could open his mouth, his vision darkened and he fell down.
"My little brother, it's a pity that you have been sleepless for so many days, but it's a pity that you can't recover... Hahaha..." Hu Hanmei walked into this ancient and devastated city step by step with a smile.
Countless soldiers tried to block her with their tired bodies, but no one could get within two feet of her.
Those people stopped involuntarily when they were far away from her, their ferocious expressions softened little by little, and their eyes gradually lost their luster.
"Am I beautiful?" Hu Hanmei covered her mouth and chuckled as she walked, she held the skirt with her other hand, her expression was cruel and beautiful.
A soldier nodded involuntarily, and the saliva slid down his jaw, mixing with the blood on his body.
"Will you fight bloody for me?" Hu Hanmei's ability to confuse the gods is the same as her beauty, which makes people fearful, unable to extricate themselves, and also makes people desperate.
Someone finally made a move. A young soldier pierced his spear into the chest of his companion. The man kept an incredulous expression before he died.
"Compared to fighting those irresistible monsters, isn't it more interesting and easier to kill with your companions?" Hu Hanmei stepped over the human bones, stepping forward step by step with a conquering attitude.
At this moment, a flash of lightning hit her in front of her fiercely.
Hu Hanmei raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Is it the child who used the five thunders to rectify the Fa?"
Xie Yao's heart trembled violently when he heard her soft voice, and he actually had a throbbing feeling like meeting a fairy Wuxia in his heart. He desperately recited the Supreme Sensation Record in his mind to calm his mind, thinking that this enchantress is really a charmer.
The surrounding soldiers have completely lost control and started killing each other. Xie Yao saw those soldiers who lived together day and night, pierced each other's bodies with weapons used to resist foreigners, and a feeling of grief and indignation welled up in his heart.
So many days of perseverance, so many days of perseverance, so many people's dreams and responsibilities, so many people's flesh and blood and tears, were all destroyed by the smile of this witch in front of her. He hated the cruelty of this witch, and hated himself even more for being powerless to resist.
"One smile captivates the city, and another smile captivates the country. The child over there, you say, I am captivating the country?" Hu Hanmei walked slowly towards Xie Yao, with a clear and shallow smile, and one glance would extinguish the world of mortals through the ages.
Xie Yao bit his tongue hard, trying to fill his mind with the Taishang induction recording.
Before he knew it, he forgot that he was in the flames of war, that he was facing a powerful enemy, that he forgot his admiration and grief, and his heart was empty, except for the word "Taishang Sensei Lu".
He actually entered the mirror of sitting and forgetting under such circumstances.
But this extremely mysterious feeling only existed for a short while, he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, and the piercing pain spread from the wound to his whole body. He lowered his head and saw half of a spear protruding from his abdomen.
He looked up at Hu Hanmei: "You...!"
"Don't look at me, I didn't do this." Hu Hanmei tilted his head and smiled, and walked deeper than him. Behind her, because there was no one to stop them, one after another monsters entered the city in an orderly manner, and the gate of the city was already bleeding like a river.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" A familiar terrified voice came from behind Xie Yao, and then he felt the half of the spear being pulled out, and a lot of blood gushed out from the wound.
Xie Yao turned around and repaired the wound with true energy. Looking up, Liu Shu was standing behind him holding a bloody spear.
"Thank you boy, I'm sorry!!" Liu Shu burst into tears, and suddenly raised his hand to stab himself with a spear.
Xie Yao grabbed him: "Why are you crazy, go and plug the crack is what you should do, what is suicide?"
"I, I, I hurt you under the words of the witch..." Liu Shu was panic-stricken. He was a military doctor, but he also went to the battlefield with a weapon. Of all the people, he had seen the most deaths and suffered the most stress.
"I don't have time to pay attention to you. You can either die for this crap or die for Jiuming City. You can choose one!" Xie Yao took off his coat, wrapped his abdominal wound, and followed the formula while pinching the formula. Hu Hanmei followed her footsteps.
Xie Yao couldn't keep up with the witch's cloud stepping technique, and could only see a large cloud gradually seeping into the center of the city from a distance.
Just as there was some trace of despair in his heart, battle songs came from the north city gate.
"The wish of all peoples is endless. Fearing the majesty of the heavens, it is very clear. With my flesh and blood, I will conquer the southern barbarians!"
There is also a huge gap in the barrier to the north!
He rushed to the place where the singing sound came from, only to see the disciples from the inner sect of the Lutian Temple, all dressed in pure white sacrificial attire, coming in from the city gate, confronting Hu Hanmei head-on.
To his surprise, the head of the Temple of Heaven was actually a young girl.
That girl was Le Shu. She held a long sword in her hand. There were countless runes flowing on the sword, which connected with the lines flowing on the corner of her clothes. She held up the long sword, and the five hundred inner disciples behind her all poured the blood from their hearts into the long sword. The sword was not stained with blood, and the holy and pure light struck straight at Hu Hanmei.
"Standing on the blade of calamity in vain, washing away disasters and sins! A gentleman is holy and virtuous, helping all evils!"
Le Shu has just entered the Tao, and not long after she was promoted to direct disciple, the national teacher didn't have time to teach her the Qianyuan gentleman's way, so she had to use this combined attack method. Wei Changsong also used this method when fighting against the tree demon before, because this method is quite restrained against evil things.
"As soon as we meet, he will strike fiercely. You are really a good apprentice taught by Jingli..."
Hu Hanmei's whole body was shrouded in dazzling white light, but her voice came out smoothly.
"How can you call the name of a saint of humanity?" Le Shu's face turned angry when he heard this, and he threw out the long sword in vain, the holy light disappeared, leaving only a sense of murderous intent.
Hu Hanmei seemed to want to make a tactic, but suddenly his face changed, and he couldn't dodge the sword. The long sword collided with her body, broke in two and fell to the ground.
"Lord Saint, we have already broken through the city before thirty days have passed, why don't you remove the barrier?"
Hu Hanmei said in a high voice, it seems that she just failed to make a formula because of the restriction of this enchantment. Le Shu's face is also very serious. Even under the pressure of the barrier, she cannot deal with a sky monster like Hu Hanmei alone. I don't know why this kind of monster can walk freely in the world. Could it be that the Qingchuan Mountain Mansion is really going to stir up chaos in the world? no? Right now, it's good that the sky demon is suppressed. If this barrier is removed, the result will definitely be life and death. What makes Leshu feel even worse is that, according to Hu Hanmei's words, there is actually a saint hidden in Jiuming City. This saint not only concealed the secrets of Jiuming City for more than ten days, but now he still has to assist Hu Hanmei.
Xie Yao listened to them talking, and unconsciously got closer and closer. Hu Hanmei seemed to feel something in his heart, and suddenly raised his head and pointed at him.
The broken sword at her feet appeared in front of Xie Yao in the blink of an eye.
Xie Yao felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, and the murderous intent stained on the sword made him unable to move.
"What are you calling me for?" Uncle Cha appeared in front of Xie Yao, and the short sword fell to the ground as if suddenly losing power.
"Master Saint once said that he would no longer interfere in the affairs of humanity and my demon way, why are you protecting that kid now?" Hu Hanmei's smile remained unchanged.
Le Shu didn't expect a saint to sit in Jiuming City, and he didn't know what agreement he had made with Hu Hanmei, and what relationship he had with the young man in front of him.
Uncle Cha smiled grimly: "I once told you that if you break through this city under my barrier within thirty days, I will no longer intervene in your disputes..."
"That's not what you said to me!" A somewhat ruffian voice appeared out of thin air.
The air around Uncle Cha twisted for a while, and Song Liyou, who was wearing a crane feather cloak, said to him, "Master."
Xie Yao's eyes were about to pop out. After so long, he finally saw the person he met on that dreamlike road to immortality.
Old Uncle Cha said calmly: "Teacher, what I'm telling you is that if they fail to break through Jiuming City under my barrier in 30 days, my Fengdu City will no longer intervene in the battle between Shiwan Dashan and Lutian Temple."
"Is there any contradiction between these two sentences?"
Song Li felt a chill in his heart. He thought it was simple before. This guy not only counted the human way, but also the demon way.
If the city is destroyed, Uncle Cha will no longer intervene in the dispute over Jiuming City, but Fengdu City can.
If the city is not destroyed, Fengdu City will no longer intervene in the dispute between Shiwan Dashan and Lutian Temple, but he can still secretly contribute to the flames in Jiuming City.
Regardless of whether the city is broken or not, the ghost way will definitely muddy the water in this pool.
He is bound to get it.
"However... according to what you said, I will remove the barrier now."
Uncle Cha didn't move at all, and the barrier that had covered Jiuming City for more than ten days just disappeared.
A majestic demonic aura rushed straight into the sky, Hu Hanmei raised his eyebrows and screamed, his face was gradually covered with red lines, which was strange and beautiful. Nine foxtails protruded from under her skirt, and wind, fire, thunder and lightning rolled in the sky in turn.
The ground cracked open from under her feet, and those who were not determined to dodge the screams of the disciples of the Temple of Heaven could not dodge, and fell directly into the ground, dying!
"Nine Lives Demon Fox... Exit Jiuming City!" Seeing Hu Hanmei's real body, Le Shu's heart was shocked, and she turned her head and shouted to the inner disciples.
Hu Hanmei raised his hand, and the meteorite fell from the sky with flames, and there was no place where Le Shu and the others were standing. After she incarnated into the body, her innate bewitching skills were even stronger, and it was difficult for even a person who entered the Tao to support it.
Le Shu looked at the many disciples who were smashed into the ground by the meteorite, and her heart was burning with anger, but she knew that she couldn't resist now, and she had to wait for the reinforcements to come before making plans.
"Retire? Don't even think about leaving." Hu Hanmei's laughter resounded throughout the south, "This is my Nine Lives City!"
Countless monsters roared wildly and rushed into Jiuming City.
Uncle Cha looked at Hu Hanmei, who was a little crazy, and then at the disciples of humanity who were struggling to support him, with a compassionate look.
He said to Xie Yao and Song Liyou: "Would you like to follow me to Fengdu City to escape?"
"Naturally." Song Liyou said calmly.
"I swear to live and die with Jingguo!" Xie Yao's eyes turned red.
The destiny has been fixed, so why do all living beings struggle
The destiny is uncertain, so where will all living beings go
