"Am I a ghost?"
"Are all the creatures in the universe ghosts?"
"This...how is this possible?"
It was hard for Qing Qu to believe Zhang Xiaozu's words because it completely subverted his cognition.
No, it turned the whole world upside down.
Zhang Xiaozhu did not rush to explain, but stopped to let Qingqu ease his shock.
Qingqu suddenly lowered his head and said nothing.
I quickly reviewed my life's experiences in my mind, and found nothing unusual.
Not only is there no abnormality in himself, but there is no abnormality in everyone he comes into contact with.
He couldn't help but shook his head.
Still can't believe Zhang Xiaozu's conclusion.
"How did you know about this?" Qingqu asked with a frown.
"I have a treasure called Yin-Yang Fish Eyes, which is good at distinguishing monsters and ghosts." Zhang Xiaozu pointed at his eyebrows and slowly opened his ghost eyes.
The ghost pupils were exhausted and barely opened, and the light was dim.
Qingqu looked at Guitong curiously, and suddenly an inexplicable fear surged into his heart, making him shiver involuntarily.
He quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and tried to overcome it, but he was surprised to find that this fear came from his soul and was difficult to control.
He couldn't help but be shocked and said, "I noticed it when you were fighting before, but I didn't realize it was so powerful."
"That's because I didn't let her power go out. No one can feel her power except those who face me directly." Zhang Xiaozu explained, "I can easily defeat the troops of the three families. This thing is very important. With its function, she can greatly frighten the enemy and make them lose their mind in an instant, especially when dealing with ghosts."
Qingqu suddenly said, "No wonder they are unable to fight back even under your sword."
Zhang Xiaozu nodded.
Qingqu glanced at Guitong and said, "So, it's what tells you that everyone in the world is a ghost."
Zhang Xiaozhu said with a certain tone, "At least all the people in Tianwaitian who appear in my sight so far are ghosts, including Yu Ying and Fairy Mochou who have achieved enlightenment. Although they have taken away their original bodies, their souls are still ghosts."
"It's really hard to believe." Qingqu said in shock.
"The reason why I guess that all creatures in the outer world are ghosts is actually based on another reason."
"What basis?"
"There is a huge gate in the passage connecting Tianwaitian and Kyushu, called the Yin and Yang Realm Gate.
The lintel on the back of the door is engraved with the word "Yangjian", and the door leaf on the left is engraved with "Yin people stop, and those who violate it will be executed immediately."
The lintel of the front door is engraved with the word "Underworld", and the door leaf on the left is engraved with the word "Yang people stop, and those who violate it will be executed immediately." "
"What's the meaning?"
"This is a door that connects the Yang world and the underworld. Going to Kyushu is the Yang world, and going to the outer world is the underworld."
"You mean-" Qingqu looked shocked, "
Is the sky outside the underworld the underworld? "
"It's just my guess for now, I'm not sure." Zhang Xiaozu said.
Qingqu suddenly remembered something and exclaimed to Zhang Xiaopou, "Is this the reason why there is no underworld in the outer world? Because the underworld is itself."
Zhang Xiaozhu said, "As far as I know, there was a war between the gods in ancient times, and the immortal world, the human world, and the underworld were all involved. In the end, the ancient gods disappeared and the three realms were fragmented. Kyushu was the human world at that time, and the sky was outside the world. Hades."
"No, no." Qingqu waved his hand to deny Zhang Xiaozhu's guess and said, "I heard Master said that you Jiuzhou has your own underworld."
"There is indeed an underworld in Kyushu, but its existence seems to have only lasted for more than 10,000 years and cannot be traced back to ancient times. In other words, it is likely to be regenerated the day after tomorrow." Zhang Xiaozu said.
He learned these things from Zhang Tufu and Su Hanlin before he came, but they only relied on the remaining fragments of the refined divine power.
What I learned from broken memories is that I don’t know the specific situation ten thousand years ago.
"Another point is that according to the masters, the ancient gods disappeared more than 10,000 years ago, but as far as I know, the war between the gods took place 100,000 years ago. There is a difference of 90,000 years. .”
"Do ancient gods really exist?" Qingqu asked suspiciously.
But before Zhang Xiaopou could answer, he waved his hand and said, "Look at my memory. You just borrowed the power of the ancient gods. Isn't that the best proof?"
Zhang Xiaozu nodded affirmatively and said, "The ancient gods do exist. Not only have I talked to them, but I have also killed a ray of Yangshen left behind by one of the gods in the Kyushu Continent."
"Huh?" Qingqu's eyes widened in shock.
"That ancient god is called Huode Xingjun, who is in charge of the fire of the world..."
Zhang Xiaozu immediately recounted what happened in Huode Xingjun’s Immortal Mansion.
After hearing this, Qingqu couldn't help but give Zhang Xiaopou a thumbs up in admiration, "Good guy, you are so brave, you even dare to kill the clones of ancient gods."
Zhang Xiaozhu hummed, "Who asked him to mess with me? Did he ask me to obediently sacrifice my life?"
Snapped!
As he was speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead, shouting, "Oh, I forgot."
Qingqu cast a questioning look.
"That thief of Lord Huodexing left a spiritual mark in my soul. I tried my best to remove it but I couldn't remove it. I borrowed the power of the gods before, but I forgot to use it to erase Lord Huodexing's mental mark. Oh, what a pity." Zhang Xiaozhu said sadly.
He felt that the god who lent his divine power was more powerful than Huode Xingjun, and thought that if he used a thought of divine power to deal with Huodexingjun's mental imprint, he would definitely be able to erase it.
Qingqu frowned and asked, "You took the elixir to borrow the power of the gods.
You must pay a heavy price, right? "
"There is a small price to pay, but it's not serious and it doesn't do any harm to yourself."
"What price?" Qingqu couldn't help but frown deeply. The more relaxed Zhang Xiaozu said, the more worried he became.
"Being forever rejected from the immortal gate."
"This is much more serious than losing hundreds of years of your Yangshou. You can still make up for the loss of Yangshou. The closure of the Immortal Gate will cut off your cultivation path." Qingqu said solemnly.
"Isn't it worth it?" Zhang Xiaozu asked Qingqu.
Qingqu was stunned for a moment, and then replied firmly, "It's worth it!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
They knew that no matter who they were, they would choose revenge without hesitation between revenge and cultivation.
"Mr. Zhu——"
Zhang Xiaozu's expression suddenly darkened, and he said sadly, "He sacrificed his soul to help me quickly comprehend the law of power, and he died. It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked him for advice on how to quickly comprehend the law of power, he wouldn't have Sacrifice yourself."
"Zhu Gaohan? What's going on?" Qingqu asked.
Zhang Xiaozhu sighed heavily, and then told the story again.
Qing Qu reached out and patted Zhang Xiaopou's shoulder, comforting him, "You don't have to blame yourself, it was his own choice. In fact, we are all the same. If we can avenge our master by sacrificing ourselves, we will choose it without hesitation, just like you." It’s like abandoning your own path, do you regret it?”
Zhang Xiaozu shook his head.
What Qingqu said was right, let alone asking him to give up the great road, even if it meant taking his life, as long as he could avenge his sect, he would choose it without hesitation.
"I have never heard of a method of sacrificing the soul to help people quickly understand the law of power, and I don't know where he learned it from. If he doesn't know this method, he won't be able to sacrifice the soul. Maybe this is the secret of Mingming. It must have been destined, just like I was destined not to become a swordsman." Qingqu said.
Zhang Xiaozhu was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Isn't this the forbidden technique of our Taoist sect?"
Qing Qu shook his head and said, "No, I've never heard of it."
Zhang Xiaozu frowned and asked, "Did Master really criticize Mr. Zhu for nine lifetimes of suffering?"
"The master gave him the order that day, but he only said that he would have a hard life in this life. He did not say that he would have a hard life in the ninth life. Maybe it was given to him later.
Have it approved. Qingqu replied.
Zhang Xiaozu frowned deeply when he heard this.
Qingqu noticed the change in Zhang Xiaozu's expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Xiaozu asked curiously, "Given Master's character, if Mr. Zhu is found to have suffered nine lifetimes of misfortune, do you think he will tell Mr. Zhu? Wouldn't that make Mr. Zhu fall into endless hardship?"
Qingqu shook his head and said, "Master has always allowed his disciples to live a free and easy life. The nine lives of hardship are contrary to his wishes, so he probably won't say anything about it."
Zhang Xiaozu suddenly stood up and shouted, "There is a problem."
「
What's wrong? Qingqu asked in surprise.
"There is something wrong with Mr. Zhu's death." Zhang Xiaozu suddenly woke up.
"There is a problem, there is indeed a problem."
Zhang Xiaozu paced back and forth, recalling Zhu Gaohan's state in the Taiwang Mountain barrier that day. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He felt that his mood suddenly became unstable, and he asked many questions that he should not know.
"What's the problem?" Qingqu asked.
"Now that I think back to Mr. Zhu's state that day, I suddenly feel that his mood at that time was very wrong, as if someone said something to him, and in a disguised form encouraged him to sacrifice his soul to help me realize enlightenment." Zhang Xiaozhu frowned.
"Could it be Yoyo?"
He was suspicious.
As soon as this thought arose, it immediately amplified in his heart.
If it were Qi Yoyo before the awakening of the Jiuyin bloodline, he would dare to use his head to guarantee that Qiyoyo would not do this. However, after the awakening of the Jiuyin bloodline, Qi Yoyo has become extremely cold, and it is hard to say whether he would sacrifice others. Protect your own family.
"No, it shouldn't be yoyo."
"Although her temper has become colder, it is true, but the principles of doing things are still there, and she will definitely not do such a thing."
"It's not Mingyue, because at first she didn't know that my target was not just Qin Feng. She only found out after Yoyo made it clear. At that time, Mr. Zhu's mood was already strange."
"It can't be a gift from God."
After a little thought, Zhang Xiaozhu denied his suspicion and eliminated Ye Mingyue and Zhang Tianci.
Then a face came to mind.
"Meng Changshan?"
Zhang Xiaozu was shocked.
There were only a few of them in the Taiwang Mountain barrier that day. Excluding the three of Qi Yoyo, only Meng Changshan remained.
"Meng Changshan knows my plan."
"Could it be that he really told Mr. Zhu?"
"Is it because he gave Mr. Zhu the nine lives of suffering? He also taught Mr. Zhu the forbidden technique of sacrificing the soul?"
"But it was the first time that Mr. Zhu met Meng Changshan. He probably wouldn't believe Meng Changshan's words easily, so...that's why Mr. Zhu came to me to confirm twice, and even knew that besides the Fire Qilin Pill, I had other things here. An elixir for improving your realm."
"That brown jade slip!"
Zhang Xiaozu's brain was thinking rapidly, and he suddenly thought of the empty brown jade slip that Zhang Tianci showed him. He raised his hand and grabbed a mountain peak not far away, and took a photo of it with a sky-shining bucket mirror placed on the mountain peak. In hand.
Then he poured power into the mirror, trying to contact Jiuzhou to ask Zhang Tianci about the brown jade slips, and whether Zhang Tianci and Zhu Gaohan encountered Meng Changshan when they climbed Mount Taiwang that day.
He vaguely felt that he would be able to find the answer after asking these two things clearly.
(The author did not run away, but his thinking suddenly had problems, so it was a bit difficult to write.)
