Xu Zhuang pressed the escape light and fell into the heart of the Bitter Realm Mountain. He glanced around and saw a stone tablet standing at the bottom. The surface of the tablet was flat and without any inscriptions, which looked very strange.
Around the stone monument, there are six quiet pools, which look bottomless. The water surface emits an inexplicable shimmer and bubbles appear from time to time.
Before Xu Zhuang could take a closer look, two Taoist priests, one tall and one short, flew out to stop Xu Zhuang. ?”
Before Xu Zhuang could answer, the tall Taoist priest pulled the short Taoist priest's sleeve, flew up to a higher position, cupped his hands and said, "I know that today in the Bitter Realm Mountains, you can hear magpies announcing the good news. It turns out that it's Senior Brother Xu who is here."
"Senior Brother Xu?" The short Taoist priest seemed to have thought of something and asked, "But Senior Brother Xu of Xu Zhuang?"
Xu Zhuang cupped his hands and said, "That's right."
The short Taoist priest suddenly became more respectful and asked, "I have seen my senior brother. I wonder what he did when he came to the world of suffering?"
The tall Taoist priest continued: "What are your instructions, senior brother? I will never shirk."
Xu Zhuang said: "Xu wants to go to the bone-burning realm of suffering. I wonder if you can open the gate for me?"
"What? No, this is not possible." The tall Taoist priest was about to speak, but the short Taoist priest shook his head repeatedly and said: "The Bitter Realm is an important place for the sect. If you want to go to the Bitter Realm, you need to invite the Fu Zhao from the Law Academy to open it. The gate of the realm is not something we can control."
"I see." Xu Zhuang muttered, "If you want to apply for the Fu Zhao of the Law Academy, what do you need to do?"
"You must have a legitimate reason to register and apply at the Law Enforcement Yuan." The tall Taoist priest opened his mouth, and the short Taoist priest said, "After going through many rounds of approvals from the Law Enforcement Yuan, the vice-president of the Law Enforcement Yuan will finally sign the letter. , Only in this way can we get the imperial edict."
"This..." This process was too lengthy. Xu Zhuang frowned slightly. If this was the case, he would have no choice but to put the matter on hold. He had an appointment with Sun Suzhen and was going to travel in two months, but he didn't have much time to wait.
At this time, the tall Taoist priest got a chance to speak and shouted: "Oh, junior brother, why do you need so much trouble? Senior brother Xu, I have a way."
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang looked away and asked curiously: "This junior brother... what do you call him?"
The tall Taoist priest responded: "My younger brother Dong Guoyi."
Xu Zhuang said: "I wonder what Junior Brother Dongguo can do?"
The tall Taoist priest smiled and said: "Senior brother, I don't know. My father is the guardian elder of Kujie Mountain. I will ask him to issue a certificate for senior brother, and then I can open the gate."
The short Taoist priest asked anxiously: "How can this happen? How can the power of the elders be used so easily..."
"What's wrong?" the tall Taoist priest said unhappily, "Senior Brother Xu is going to the world of suffering. He must have important matters to deal with. How can he have so much free time to wait for the approval of the Law Enforcement Council?"
The tall Taoist priest argued a few words and then said to Xu Zhuang: "Don't worry, senior brother, I will just go and issue a voucher for you. However, the world of suffering is the important place of the sect after all. I have to go with my senior brother to know in detail what he has done in the world of suffering." Because, it will be easier to explain when handing over to the Law Enforcement Yuan afterwards."
Xu Zhuang was surprised and asked, "Is this the right thing to do?"
"It's in line with the rules, of course it's in line with the rules. These are the duties of the elders, but ordinary people can't do it." The tall Taoist priest smiled, and without waiting for Xu Zhuang to hesitate, he said, "Senior brother, wait a moment." He stood up and turned into a stream of light, flying back to the palace. Seeing this, the short Taoist priest quickly followed.
Not long after, the tall Taoist priest returned alone, holding a clear light talisman in his hand, and said happily: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my destiny. Senior brother, just follow me."
Xu Zhuang nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, junior brother, for your kind help."
Dong Guoyi laughed and said: "Senior Brother, I have admired you for a long time, so there is no need to be polite with me."
While talking, the two of them landed next to the deep pool at the bottom of the mountain. Dong Guoyi raised his hand, and his body was covered with a clear light, and he said: "In the bone-burning world of suffering, there are rolling evil spirits, ecstasy eroding the bones, senior brother still needs to take good protection. .”
Xu Zhuang responded: "It's natural." After thinking for a moment, it would be better to try the protective effect of the Purple Qixia Clothing. Then with a thought in his mind, a ray of elixir power flowed into the Ziqi jar. With a slight push, a wave of energy suddenly appeared on his body. A thin layer of purple glow.
Seeing that Xu Zhuang was well protected, Dong Guoyi patted the talisman, and a clear light shone on the stone tablet. There was no abnormality on the stone tablet, so Dong Guoyi stretched out his hand and said: "Please."
Then he jumped and fell into a quiet pool. Seeing this, Xu Zhuang hurriedly followed his footsteps and jumped into it.
As soon as they entered the quiet pool, they had a contrasting illusion of jumping out of the water, and they saw two people suddenly appearing in the air.
Xu Zhuang raised his eyes and saw that the Bone-burning Bitter Realm was indeed well-deserved. The sky was a dark yellow, and the earth was cracked with countless cracks. From the cracks in the ground, rolling cracks rose up, filling the sky and the earth, touching the clear light on Dong Guoyi's body, and suddenly causing a burst of clear light. shake.
However, the purple rosy clouds on Xu Zhuang's body were restored to their original state with just a flash of rays of light. Except for the perception, the elixir power passed slightly faster without causing any waves.
It seems that this treasure is indeed extraordinary. Although it can only be wielded with the help of elixir power, because of this, in the hands of those with profound skills, its power will naturally far exceed that of ordinary magic weapons.
Dong Guoyi's heart was slightly shocked. He had served in the Kujie Mountain for many years and knew how powerful this bone-burning evil was. However, for Xuzhuang's 'Taoist', it was like a breeze blowing on his face. He couldn't help but think: "This is The magical power of a true disciple? It’s really amazing, this favor is really worth it.”
The smile on Dong Guoyi's face became even wider, and he asked: "I haven't asked my senior brother yet why I came to the Burning Bone Bitter Realm? If I'm looking for someone, I can help my senior brother."
Xu Zhuang heard the words and responded: "That's the best thing. I also ask my junior brother to find Chen Zongyu's location for me."
Dongguo Yi laughed and said, "Senior brother, look at it." He took out a bronze-yellow magic weapon that looked like a dragon-seeking ruler from his hand. He chanted a few times, and the ruler immediately turned a few minutes and pointed to one place.
Dong Guoyi said: "Brother, please come with me." Then he flew in the direction pointed by the ruler.
Xu Zhuang followed Dong Guoyi and flew in the air for a moment. Dong Guoyi fell into a mountain again. After a brief glance, he saw a cave. Dong Guoyi frowned slightly, made a gesture, and slapped a few more marks on his body. With the aura protecting his body, he took the lead and entered the cave.
Xu Zhuang followed him, and as soon as he entered the cave, he noticed that the fierce evil in the cave was a bit lighter than outside. Although the difference was not huge, it might be enough for the prisoner in the world of suffering to survive in a few days.
Realms like this should be what the prisoners in this world of suffering need to fight for.
Sure enough, after walking a few steps, Xu Zhuang saw many shackles scattered on the ground, but no bones.
Dong Guoyi was accustomed to it, Xu Zhuang's eyes moved, and he didn't ask any questions. The two of them went deeper into the cave, and it didn't take long before they reached the bottom.
Xu Zhuang saw an inhuman figure at a glance, leaning quietly on the rock wall, with the neck, wrists, ankles, and tools all locked with the shackles he had just seen.
The moment Xu Zhuang stepped into this place, the man suddenly raised his head, as if the movement was too big, and a piece of flesh suddenly fell off his face. Before it fell to the ground, it was eaten away by the crack. The man didn't care. A terrifying smile spread across his half-intact face, and he hissed, "I don't know who came to see me. It turns out to be you."
"Xuzhuang."
