"Shopkeeper, do you want to take me to play outside?"
Looking at Yang Xiao, Sheng Ling asked in surprise.
Yang Xiao nodded with a smile and rubbed Sheng Ling's hair.
Pushing Yang Xiao's hand away, Sheng Ling hurriedly stood up.
A clone was left in the bookstore, and Yang Xiao took Sheng Ling out.
Stepping out of the bookstore, smelling the fresh air outside, and looking at the mountains on both sides from a new perspective, Yang Xiao felt as if he was in another world.
He came out, finally came out, his true self finally ran out of that bookstore.
After sighing in his heart, Yang Xiao and Sheng Ling rushed to the underworld after identifying the location.
In the Shenxiao Yuqing Mansion, a Heavenly Emperor arrived and reported what he saw just before Yuanshi.
"You mean, the shopkeeper left the bookstore and headed towards the underworld?"
Yuanshi asked curiously and doubtfully.
The Heavenly Emperor nodded affirmatively, indicating that he had not read wrongly.
"It's strange. The shop owner seems to have appeared in other places in the Three Realms without a trace in the past, right?"
Touching his chin, Yuan Shi's eyes flickered slightly.
However, after pondering for a long time, Yuan Shi did not choose any action.
Now I have a pretty good relationship with the bookstore, and I have obtained many useful cultivation resources for my disciples.
The disciples he taught were improving every day, making Yuan Shi seem to see new hope.
Everything was going in a good direction, and Yuan Shi didn't want to mess with the shop owner at this time.
If they are offended again and someone refuses to trade with them in anger, they will not be able to cry to death.
Maybe if things continue as they are now, the people he teaches will be able to go to bookstores one day, Yuanshi thought happily.
Things went more smoothly than Yang Xiao expected. He wandered all the way to the underworld without encountering anything.
Yang Xiao was in a good mood and headed straight to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
He came here because of what Houtu had promised him.
After rescuing the witch clan, Hou Tu promised to arrange a method for him to protect the soul.
After a while, Yang Xiao strolled over.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation is behind the Netherworld Blood Sea. There are many houses nearby, and a famous witch tribesman is standing nearby.
Seeing Yang Xiao and Sheng Ling passing by, a group of people came over to stop them.
However, after seeing that it was Yang Xiao, they all greeted him politely and expressed their feelings to Yang Xiao for saving them from the seal.
"No, no, no, since I promised Empress Houtu, rescuing you is what I should do."
Yang Xiao smiled and waved, then looked at the six circles of reincarnation spinning in the sky.
Just when Yang Xiao was about to speak, a figure emitting a faint light appeared silently in front of Yang Xiao.
There is no doubt that this figure is Hou Tu.
"You came."
Looking at Yang Xiao, Hou Tu said.
Hou Tu's face was covered with a layer of white light, and Yang Xiao couldn't see the specific expression on her face.
Nodding, Yang Xiao tugged at Sheng Fei and saluted politely: "I've met the Empress Houtu."
"You have done a great favor to our witch clan, so there is no need to be polite."
A soft force came and lifted up Yang Xiao and Sheng Ling.
After staring at Yang Xiao for a while, Hou Tu suddenly chuckled: "As I guessed, there is an aura in your soul that does not belong here."
After being stunned for a moment, Yang Xiao suddenly became alert. Did Houtu see something?
"Don't be nervous. Your origins have nothing to do with me."
Smiling and shaking his head, Houtu said.
Despite this, Yang Xiao still didn't relax completely. As expected of a saint's clone, he actually saw something about him.
It doesn't belong here, no, the future generations will also be in the wild land. His aura seems to be the same, right?
In the place where he was, there were no immortals or Buddhas, no underworld, and naturally no earth and six realms of reincarnation.
Where he is, death is like a lamp extinguished, all ashes fly away, ashes return to ashes, and soil returns to dust.
There is no afterlife, death is the end.
Is it possible that the future generations he lives in and the journey to the west he currently lives in are not actually in the same dimension?
His eyes flickered slightly, and Yang Xiao made a bold guess.
Seeing Yang Xiao's eyes changing constantly, Hou Tu thought Yang Xiao was still worried and started talking again.
"There is a sky beyond the sky, and there is a world beyond the ancient world. Everyone has actually made some guesses, but unfortunately they can't get out and have never been able to verify it."
"Your appearance has confirmed to me that this guess is true, and the things your bookstore displays are not like what the ancient world should have."
"It's not just me. I believe everyone else has doubts about you. As long as you don't endanger the world, no one will do anything to you. Facts have proved that you didn't."
"Of course, we don't rule out that someone might want to ask you how to get outside and arrest you through you, so it's possible."
After listening to Hou Tu's words, Yang Xiao laughed.
He knew this well, and Taishang Laojun doubted him and even asked about it.
At that time in the bookstore, he also told everyone nonsense about some situations in later generations.
"Empress Houtu, you don't want to know how to get outside from me. Is your true body trapped in the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
Looking at Hou Tu, Yang Xiao suddenly asked.
Hou Tu sighed and nodded: "That's right, even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to escape!"
"Well, maybe I can help you think of a solution."
Yang Xiao's eyes flickered slightly and he spoke.
After being stunned for a moment, Hou Tu smiled bitterly: "It's impossible. I understand your kindness. I know the purpose of your coming, so I will cast a spell on you."
With that said, Hou Tu was ready to take action.
Yang Xiao said: "I'm serious. Even if I can't do anything now, I will always think of it."
"Okay, okay, I hope you can do it. If you get out of trouble and you are in danger and other saints are in trouble, I can come forward to protect you."
Hou Tu, who was laughing, didn't hold out much hope and said something jokingly.
Immediately, Hou Tu cast a spell and placed a soul protection method on Yang Xiao's soul.
At Yang Xiao's request, Hou Tu also came to Sheng Ling.
"Thank you so much, Empress Houtu. Sooner or later, our shop owner will come to help you out of trouble, just like helping the witch clan out of trouble."
Looking at Hou Tu solemnly, Yang Xiao assured.
Back then, Houtu felt pity for all living beings whose souls had nowhere to return, leaving the Three Realms behind, and filled the sky with resentment, so he transformed into the Six Paths to complete the cycle of reincarnation, allowing the souls of all living beings to reincarnate.
But the price is that she will be trapped in the six paths of reincarnation forever and will never be able to escape.
This selfless behavior deserves everyone's admiration.
Yang Xiao already admired Houtu, and with his previous contacts, Houtu left a very good impression on him.
Now that I have contacted him again, I find that Houtu repays his kindness, has a pure mind, and an even gentler temperament, and his favorability level has skyrocketed.
Seeing injustice on the road, he shouted and drew his sword to help. Yang Xiao felt that he had to ignore it when he encountered it.
With systematic help, Yang Xiao knew that the problem would not be too big.
The only problem may be that his strength is a bit low now.
After leaving the Wu Clan, Yang Xiao was not in a hurry to return to the bookstore. He took Sheng Ling and wandered around the underworld.
It’s a bit exciting to think about exploring the legendary underworld.
If the clone is projected, there is no way to experience this feeling as if it were the original person.
The main thing is that Yang Xiao knows that his clone projection can be summoned again after it dies, so he doesn't worry at all and naturally won't have all kinds of emotions.
But now he is his true self, and he will disappear if he is shot to death. When he sees all kinds of scary things, he can't help but feel nervous and frightened. It will definitely be fun to experience it in person.
