Su He walked on the Yellow Springs and climbed up the Zhenyou Mountain.
The top of the mountain is dark and the atmosphere is somewhat depressing and silent. The mountain is full of dead trees. It is terrifyingly quiet. The evil wind blowing through the branches makes a miserable sound, as if entering the underworld.
Especially the Yellow Spring River that is suspended and winding outside Zhenyou Mountain adds a bit of weirdness.
There is clearly a serious building on the top of the mountain. Under this atmosphere and light, it looks like the Palace of Hell in the underworld.
The Yellow Springs Ladder landed in front of the "Yanwang Palace" and then retreated. Su He looked at the palace door and bowed, saying, "I am Su He. I wonder which Taoist friend called me here?"
In the past, I had to call him senior from time to time when I met him, but from now on - he is the senior!
Su He felt the extra rune between his eyebrows, just like the identity mark of a Buddhist disciple from Gu Jingzhai.
After coming out of the space where Daozu was, Su He had a rune between his eyebrows. This rune was very overbearing. As soon as it appeared, it directly swallowed up the Buddha's mark - not erased. If Su He needed to show the Buddha's mark, this mark could transform into the Buddha's mark. Usually, it was a symbol of Daozu's disciple.
If Su He showed this mark, anyone who saw it would know that Su He was a direct disciple of the Taoist Ancestor, one of only four in the heavens and myriad worlds, and there was absolutely no possibility of him being a fake!
Among Daozu’s disciples, except for Daozu and his senior brothers and sisters, all others are juniors—including Taizu and Mingzu.
Come to think of it, Ji Feixue has to call him uncle.
I'm a little excited...
Su He asked, and after a long while, a voice that seemed to come from the underworld came from the hall: "Come in!"
The sound was not unpleasant, it was even pleasant to the ear, but for some reason when it came to me, I always felt... cold and gloomy!
Ice-cold and chilly are not enough to describe it. Only gloomy and chilly can describe it.
There is a woman inside.
Su He tidied his clothes, knocked on the door and was silent for a moment before pushing it open and entering.
Being able to stay on the top of Zhenyou Mountain without being known by Guiwang Mountain, I don’t know what kind of existence it is. One should be polite.
When he pushed the door open, a gust of ice and snow hit him in the face. Even Su He shuddered, and when he looked inside, he saw a sea of ice.
Only these two words can describe the scene in front of Su He.
The doors, windows, floors, stone pillars... everything was frozen, but the ice was tinged with a faint purple color, giving people a cold and depressing feeling.
Looking forward, I saw a woman sitting quietly on the frozen throne.
He didn't know how long he sat there, his body seemed to have become assimilated into the ice, and with great difficulty he lowered his gaze to Su He.
Su He's breathing tightened, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the woman on the throne in disbelief, his breathing becoming heavier.
"Baiyin!" he shouted.
Although the woman sitting on the seat was dressed in purple and her temperament was completely different from Baiyin, she clearly looked like Baiyin.
Bai Ling was far from being born in this era, so it could only be Bai Yin.
Su He rushed forward, but then stopped abruptly and frowned.
"No...coming up?" The woman on the seat looked at him, the cold look in her eyes slowly melting and turning into doubt.
She probably hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, so her speech sounded a little unfamiliar.
Su He frowned and looked at her: "You are not Bai Yin, who are you?"
"Bai Yin?" The woman asked doubtfully, her eyes blurred as she tried hard to think of something. It took a long time for her to come back to her senses. A ray of light shot out from between her eyebrows and fell on the hall, turning into a flashback picture.
The picture shows this frozen palace, the ice remains unchanged for eternity.
Everything is frozen and it is terrifyingly quiet.
From the shooting angle, it was taken from the throne's viewpoint.
The scenery remained unchanged, and Su He waited patiently. After an unknown amount of time, the palace door was suddenly hit by someone, trembled, and then recovered.
But then it hit the door several more times and it opened with a bang, but there was no figure outside. After a long time, as if to make sure that there was no danger in the house, a head poked in, looked left and right, and then a figure as nimble as a lark flashed in.
He closed the palace door with a wave of his sleeve.
As soon as he came in, he patted his chest, his pride shaking: "I'm so scared, so scared. I thought Hades would leave behind some terrible means, but it turns out there's nothing, only a Hades artifact?"
She kept talking to herself, muttering that she was scared to death, but her expression did not show any fear at all. Instead, she looked very lost, as if she did not see what Hades did and felt very sorry for it.
"Hey!" The woman shouted in the direction of the camera, "Are you still alive? If you are, make a sound?"
After a long while, a voice came from the throne: "Squeak—"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, the kind of laughter that doubled over while she held her stomach, laughing glamorously, laughing so hard that she was shaking, then she wiped her tears and said, "No, no, ever since I gave half of my existence to that guy, my sense of humor has lowered, and I can laugh for a long time at anything."
She looked at the throne and said, "Based on this joke, I should reward you with a Dang Hu to eat, but it's a pity that you are a divine weapon and can't eat it!"
The woman felt quite regretful. She tilted her head and thought for a long while, then patted her chest and promised, "Well, when you condense your spirit or cultivate your human body, go out and look for me. If you can't find me, just ask anyone. It will definitely work if you mention my name Baiyin. It will work better than your master's name. Not many people know her in this era."
The woman had a look of pride and emotion on her face, and her changing expressions were so beautiful that they were breathtaking.
If it’s not Baiyin, then who else could it be
Seeing this girl again, even if it was just a flashback, made Su He's mouth curl up.
In the flashback scene, the camera is tilted, no longer focusing on the throne, but hanging on the beam of the hall, shooting downwards, with an unobstructed view of the scene inside the hall.
On the throne, there was not a frozen woman, but a ball of light, like a bird's nest.
Bai Yin circled around it a few times, frowned and asked, "Why is there no Pluto's aura? Has the great Pluto really disappeared?"
"Hey!" Bai Yin poked the bird's nest on the throne: "Do you have a way to contact Hades?"
The throne shone with light, and after a long while, it responded with a "Squeak!"
"Stupid?" Baiyin was puzzled.
It looks like this thing has no intelligence and can only make noises.
Baiyin's face seemed to be able to speak. There was no need to transmit sound. One look was enough to know what she wanted to say: How could the great Hades have such poor weapon refining skills
Baiyin picked up his fingers and checked the brilliance of the bird's nest. His brows gradually furrowed. He snorted, and dissatisfaction was revealed in his eyes.
"I can clearly summon the remaining will of Hades, but this Immortal Venerable is not qualified? If even this Immortal Venerable is not qualified, do you want to rebel? You will only come out if the Taoist Patriarch comes in person?"
"Even this broken thing has been refined to the extreme. It can't be changed even if I want to. How can I add some intelligence to it?"
When Pluto created his creatures, he took practicality to the extreme. He did not give them any intelligence at all. They can only be honed slowly over time, and that is a trickle of effort that will not be of any use even after tens of millions of years.
Even after hundreds of millions of years, a stone remains a stone.
Bai Yin's eyes rolled around: "Can I help you? I'll help you change your appearance, so that you have the most intelligent appearance in the world. This will surely help you to gain spiritual wisdom sooner!"
She did what she said. She stretched out her green jade finger and touched the bird's nest. The light of the bird's nest squirmed and condensed like water, gradually turning into a human shape.
A stunningly beautiful woman landed on the throne with her stunning beauty, but it was a pity that she was only fully clothed when she appeared.
Bai Yin looked at the face that looked exactly like her, nodded in satisfaction, and turned around twice. Then she thought of something and a hint of nervousness appeared on her face: "Hey, hey, I'm telling you! You are not allowed to do anything in my image. If you meet a wretched little thief in the future, he is a dragon turtle with a head that can transform into a human body. You are not allowed to flirt with him, let alone be flirted with by him. He is mine!"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to be still unsure and waved his fist: "If you dare to mess around, I'll beat you up."
As he was talking, Bai Yin's eyes changed, and even his voice changed - "How about you do something crazy? It seems fun to think about it."
When they traced back to here, they dispersed with a puff. Su He looked at the woman on the throne: "Gone?"
The woman was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty: "No... I will seduce you!"
Su He: “…”
"Then why did you call me up here?" You can't just call me up here to tell him that you won't flirt with him, right
The woman was silent for a moment: "Master...see you."
Master? Pluto
"Second Senior Sister?" She addressed her simply, the name and title were the same.
"I'm here." Su He just asked in confusion, and the temperament of the woman on the throne had completely changed. Her voice was no longer simply cold, but contained a sense of clarity.
The ice on the woman's body slowly melted, revealing her perfect figure. She lowered her head to examine Su He, and spoke after a moment: "It's not yet Jiazi, the third level of Kaitian, and the fourth level can be reached. The practice is a little slow."
Su He: “…”
Why do all these beings think that he is slow in cultivation? Apart from him, who else can reach the level of opening the fourth heaven at any time in less than sixty years
Su He smiled bitterly: "Senior sister called me here, what do you want me to do?"
Maybe he has seen too many great masters. Ji Feixue has the aura of an immortal, but he turns into a dragon and coils around him to tease her all day. Bai Yin is a real immortal, but Su He keeps holding her hand and can tease her a little.
Tan Tai is similar.
Taizu is stronger, but he is a naughty old boy and rarely acts like an ancestor in front of Su He.
After gradually honing his skills, Su He no longer cared about the pressure from Hades.
Su He smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Senior Sister, but I hope you will not cause any damage to my spiritual power, right?"
These beings left behind divine thoughts, all of which have backup plans. Before the time comes, a little damage may lead to a complete loss.
Hades shook his head: "No problem!"
Even if it was just a divine thought, it was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Not to mention the long-range ones, it would be no problem for him to kill Su He at the moment.
She looked at Su He, her voice as cold as before: "Now that you have entered the sect, you can practice in Xuanting, Zhenyou or Guiwang Mountain. We will open all the restrictions for you, or you can build your own mountain right now."
A glimmer of stars in her eyes fell on Su He's eyes, and all the privileges that a disciple of Daozu should have were passed on to her.
Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason why she woke up.
"But—" Hades continued: "If you raise your mountain now, you will also have to shoulder the responsibilities that should be taken. I suggest that you start from the fifth level of Kaitian and ascend the mountain."
Being a disciple of Daozu, of course, is not just about fame and convenience, but also about shouldering a heavy responsibility.
Seeing that Su He was about to speak, she raised her hand to stop him from speaking: "If I don't ascend the mountain, I won't tell you anything. If I ascend the mountain, you will know everything in the world. You don't need to make a decision in a hurry. It won't be too late to make a decision when you return to your time."
It’s only the fifth level of Kaitian. If you work hard, you can reach it in no time.
Su He took a deep breath: "It's okay then."
Hades... knows he doesn't belong to this time!!
Can you tell it with just one look? Is Hades an immortal, or a being beyond immortal
It should still be the Immortal Lord.
Hades nodded and said, "It will take at least ten days to prepare for the ceremony in the outside world. It will be a waste of time to welcome and send off people. You will practice here with me. I will supervise you during these ten days to improve your inner world to the extreme."
Su He: “???”
Imprison me for ten days? Then my drumming is in vain? What is the purpose of my becoming a disciple
"Excuse me, Senior Sister, what is the ceremony?"
The Hades looked at him and said, "Since our master is not here, we cannot hold the apprenticeship ceremony, but we still need to pray to the heavens and the earth."
Even though times have changed, some things remain unchanged. Although I have never had contact with the disciples of Guiwang Mountain in this era, I think the rules are the same. Let the heaven and earth know, and the Taoist master will accept a disciple.
"You don't want to be here? Do you want to be the one welcoming and seeing off guests?"
Su He shook his head. Only a genius would want to contact so many people in this era, but the Great Solar Eclipse only lasted for this day. He was silent for a moment and said softly, "Senior Sister, my wife is now in Xuanting Mountain. How about I create a clone to go see her? She is probably still worried about me at the moment. Don't worry, it won't affect the original body's practice."
Pluto nodded.
She just has a cold temper and has experienced too much, so she is indifferent to everything. Her status is too high to need to be hypocritical with others, not that she does not understand the ways of the world.
"Xuanting Mountain? Who is it?" At the moment it was just a divine thought, and it would not be a good idea to waste it by sending it out for exploration.
Su He created a domain clone, used the Snow Hidden and Concealment Runes, quietly escaped from the hall, flew out of Zhenyou Mountain, and flew towards Xuanting.
In the main hall, Su He's real body smiled and said, "Ji Feixue, um... Senior Brother's...daughter."
Pluto looked at him strangely and stopped talking. She didn't care about hooking up with her niece as long as her senior brother didn't beat him to death.
The green jade finger pointed a little downwards, and a tunnel appeared in the ground.
"You can go to the underground palace to practice."
Su He nodded. He was forced to practice again. This senior sister was more domineering than the current century Fei Xue and aunt. Judging from her temperament, she should be used to being high above and in an absolute leadership position. She is used to giving orders and not allowing any doubt.
Su He walked into the underground palace and turned around to ask, "Senior Sister, let me ask you, where is your real body?"
Hades looked at him with a blank expression: "Dead."
"When will you be resurrected?"
"He has been dismembered and there is no chance of resurrection."
Su He's face turned cold: "Who did it?"
"I!"
Su He: “…”
What kind of perverted answer is this
He wanted to ask more, but Hades had already frowned. Su He turned around obediently and walked into the underground palace.
Walking down, I was suddenly shocked. This is not an underground palace, this is hell!
There is no need for description. This place is a thorough regional style. It is more hellish than any underworld Su He has ever been to. Even the oil pan, hacksaw, and mountain of knives are still vivid in his mind.
As soon as they entered the underground palace, the entire hell world came crashing down on them. This was a suppression from a pure world.
The inner world automatically counterattacked in an instant, and the power of the world rushed in all directions like the sun, resisting the suppression of hell.
Su He groaned and his face turned slightly pale.
The source stones in his inner world were consumed tenfold in an instant. No wonder Pluto wanted him to reach the limit of the world within ten days. This was like practicing martial arts in a forest of swords. If he couldn't do it, he would be injured by the swords.
Like Su He, his inner world cannot withstand the suppression of hell and will be suppressed here.
Su He was sure that if he was really suppressed, even if it took hundreds or thousands of years, Hades would not show mercy and rescue him.
That woman doesn't know what caring is at all!
Su He roared and transformed into a black tortoise, shouting in his heart: "Toad!"
Cuihua appeared silently in the inner world, spreading the source stone to help with refining.
His expression was somewhat depressed, and his eyes were confused as he was waving the source stone.
Su He glanced at it and didn't ask any more questions. Ever since the drum was played, the toad had been acting strangely. Perhaps it had thought of something again
When it wants to speak, it will speak naturally. If it doesn't want to speak, Su He won't force it to speak.
…
Su He's clone flew towards Xuanting Mountain. Halfway through the flight, he was sure that Hades was not spying, so he turned around and flew towards Guiwang Mountain, and went straight into Fenbao Rock.
Everything in Fenbao Rock remained the same as before, as if no one had come in during the years he was away. Even the formation set up by Monk Ku Ran was preserved exactly as it was.
Su He felt a little relieved, and walked quickly to the bottom of Fenbao Rock without stopping. The road was smooth and unobstructed.
The mark of Daozu's true teachings was more useful than the token given by Taizu. He rushed all the way into the cave below without any accidents.
It was so smooth that Su He couldn't believe it, and even felt a little uneasy.
Until I looked again at the place where Daozu's finger bones were stored on the pool, I found that the barrier had been opened.
During a great solar eclipse, the sealed boundary opens.
The Daoist ancestor's finger bone and the dragon turtle clan's most precious tortoise shell floated quietly on the pond, living in peace with each other, like a pair of good neighbors who did not interfere with each other.
Su He stretched out both hands forward at the same time, grabbed the finger bone with one hand and the turtle shell with the other hand and pulled them back at the same time.
Two dice fell down.
At the same time, a cold voice came from behind: "Is this the reason why you lied to me?"
Su He was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see Pluto standing behind him with an expressionless face.
Her eyes fell on him, without any emotion, no anger, no scrutiny, just looking at him quietly.
Su He looked at the middle finger bones and turtle shell.
The tortoise shell was in his hand and turned into two.
The dice on the finger bones shattered and then reunited, repeating over and over again, just like when they first fell on the hexagram.
Daozu's finger bones cannot be copied, only their quality can be improved.
Su He smiled bitterly and looked at Hades: "Sister, if I say that this was sanctioned and even encouraged by the current Taoist master of Guiwang Mountain, would you believe it?"
Hades glanced at him and said in a cold voice: "Believe it."
Without the Taoist master's tacit approval, how could Fenbao Rock be so deserted? Almost all the guards were blocked, and even the master's finger bones were displayed here so openly. Isn't it just for people to steal
But, so what
"You lied to me!" Hades looked at Su He, his eyes still calm.
It’s just the treasures of Fengbaoyan. If he wants them as the youngest brother, what’s wrong with giving them all to him
The third child won’t have any objection.
But he deceived his own family when they first met.
