The two of them kept walking down. I don't know if it was Mu Sheng's illusion. He always felt that the dark wind was blowing in the dark cave. It seemed that even the torches on the wall could not dispel the darkness shrouded in the mist.
Mu Sheng was confused and strange. Why would a monk feel this way? Perhaps to relieve the tension, he asked Muyinaqi a question:
"Is the Immortal Emperor going to retreat in a place like this?"
Muyinaqi turned to look at him with a dull expression, and said in a low voice: "Well! My adoptive father is in retreat here. This is the dungeon of the old castle in the past, and was later converted into a place of retreat and practice by my adoptive father. . There are many institutions and restrictions here, especially when the adoptive father is performing the Nirvana Rebirth Technique, which is the most dangerous moment. No outsider can be allowed to disturb him, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted, and his soul will be scattered and he will die. Wait a moment. , will be here soon.”
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Mu Sheng read a trace of pity and sympathy in Muyinaqi's eyes. Mu Sheng tightened the customs clearance document in his hand without thinking about it.
The two of them walked around for a long time before finally reaching the deepest part of the dungeon. He felt that it was at least a dozen floors underground in the castle.
The two came out of the corridor cave. Mu Sheng looked around and took stock of the surrounding environment. The innermost part of the dungeon should be in the middle of the mountain. A huge space had been artificially cut out here, and rows of holes were cut out on the surrounding walls. A row of cave-like rooms should have been dungeons and prisons in the past, but now the iron doors and windows have been removed.
It didn't look dark in the heart of the mountain. There were many ventilation holes and huge stone windows cut out on the side of the dungeon near the south wall, which illuminated the entire space very brightly. The huge stone windows could also see the sky outside, which made Mu Sheng felt much more relaxed, as if he could escape just by jumping out of the stone window.
Mu Sheng couldn't help but walked to the stone window and took a look down. He suddenly took a breath of air. Below the stone window was a cliff. A light layer of mist shrouded the forest at the bottom of the cliff. There were even a few birds flying over. window.
Mu Sheng was a little afraid of heights, and his legs felt a little weak, so he quickly stepped back. At this time, Muyinaqi said: "General, please come with me. The time for my adoptive father to retreat is coming soon."
Mu Sheng nodded, indicating that he understood, and followed her to a stone wall. She stepped forward and twisted a mechanism, and the stone wall slowly moved to the right. Behind the stone wall was a corridor. There were huge braziers burning on both sides, illuminating the entire corridor very brightly.
After walking through the corridor, the two finally arrived at a circular stone chamber. In the center of the stone chamber was a huge altar with complex patterns carved on it. It was unclear what it was for. In the middle of the altar, a man sat cross-legged. The mysterious man covered with immortality is the Emperor Changsheng himself. Until now, Mu Sheng has never seen the appearance of Emperor Changsheng.
There were four warriors in armor standing around the altar, and two waiters surrounded him, seeming to protect him. Mu Sheng looked around and saw that these were the only people here, and there were no other people.
Mu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet the emperor and said, "Junior, please see the emperor."
Emperor Changsheng nodded slightly and said in a kind tone: "You are here!"
After saying that, the two waiters helped slowly take off the black robe from the Emperor Changsheng. At this time, Mu Sheng saw the true face of the Emperor Changsheng for the first time.
I saw that his body was covered with malignant tumors, and malignant sores appeared all over his body, exuding an inexplicable yellow pus. His left eye completely turned milky white, and he looked like he was blind. His skin was as old and dull as brown orange peel. His right leg was flabby, and his right leg was completely deformed. No wonder he limped when he walked. There was almost no good skin on his body.
To be honest, seeing the appearance of the Immortal Emperor, Mu Sheng even felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit. After suppressing the discomfort, he cursed in his heart, is this the price of immortality? Isn't it disgusting to look like this? The whole person looked like a piece of rotten flesh.
Emperor Changsheng was not surprised when he saw his surprised expression. He just smiled slightly and said in a voice like sandpaper:
"General Mu, does my appearance scare you?"
It was said to be a smile, but in fact the expression was simply weird and terrifying. The intact tawny eye on the right side stared at Mu Sheng, making him feel a little chilly in his heart.
Mu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to him, saying: "The Emperor's magical power is unparalleled, how can the younger generation dare to disrespect you? I heard that you, the Great Emperor, want to retreat and be reborn, and use the art of Nirvana and rebirth, the younger generation is also filled with admiration."
The Immortal Emperor nodded slightly and waved gently to the two waiters behind him. The two waiters took out a towel and dipped it in hot water and carefully wiped his body to clean the abscesses.
Emperor Changsheng said: "Do you know why I came to you today?"
Mu Sheng was moved in his heart and said: "I heard from Miss Naqi that you want to see me again before practicing in seclusion, for fear that we may never see you again. You also said that you can teach me some cultivation experience. Don't worry, if Emperor, you still want to see me again, so why don't I stay and wait for you to come out of seclusion and we can have a happy gathering? Thanks to you for taking care of me these days, I am very grateful."
The Immortal Emperor smiled slightly and said: "Yes! What Naqi said is right. I really want to see you at the end and share some cultivation experience with you. Seeing you reminds me of myself when I was young more than seven hundred years ago. He is also so full of energy, fearless of hardships and dangers, and travels all over the world.”
"Hey! I'm really old now. I haven't been out of Yucheng for more than two hundred years. After I'm reborn this time, I want to go to the Central Plains, walk around, take a look, and I'll still go out for activities after a long time. Move your body bones.”
Mu Sheng smiled and stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, "Then don't be in a hurry, junior. I'd like to accompany you to travel to the Central Plains."
The Emperor of Immortality slightly nodded his head and said: "I understand General Mu's good intentions. I came to the general today not only to impart my cultivation experience, but also to ask the general to help me complete the transformation... oh no, complete the rebirth technique of pinching the plate."
Mu Sheng was surprised and said: "Why would the emperor need my help if he has such incredible power? To be honest, I am afraid that my help is limited due to my low strength."
The Immortal Emperor smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. Just watch the ceremony and watch me complete my rebirth."
Mu Sheng was even more confused when he heard this and asked curiously: "Great Emperor, shouldn't your Nirvana Rebirth Technique be allowed to be disturbed by others? Isn't it inappropriate for me to keep it here?"
At this time, he felt vaguely that something was not good.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor Changsheng smiled slyly and said, "Yes, it is indeed the case, so I can only make you feel a little aggrieved, General."
Before he finished speaking, the Changsheng Emperor pointed his finger, and the huge spiritual power covered Mu Sheng like a giant net.
Mu Sheng's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously wanted to use his body skills to avoid it.
At this time, Muyinaqi, who was standing behind Mu Sheng, suddenly hit him on the back with a palm, causing him to stagnate involuntarily.
The emperor's huge spiritual power fluctuations also covered Mu Sheng's body at the same time. This was not an attack move, but a powerful restraining spell. Mu Sheng was unable to move, and even the air sea could not move. The only one who could move now was him. own brain and mouth.
At this time, Mu Sheng was completely like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Muyinaqi used her strength to support his body, and helped him to sit next to the altar and lean on the pillar.
Before turning around and leaving, Muyinaqi whispered in his ear: "I'm sorry!"
At this time, even if he was a pig, he understood that he might have been plotted.
Now Mu Sheng's face was pale and his heart felt like he was falling into an ice cave, but he still forced himself to calm down.
Mu Sheng thought for a few times and said in a calm tone: "Emperor, what do you mean by this? I'm just observing the ceremony. I will definitely not disturb your rebirth. This is really a bit..."
The Immortal Emperor shook his head and said: "Be careful with your ten-thousand-year ship. You will naturally know what I am going to do later."
The Immortal Emperor looked at him teasingly, just like a cat playing with a mouse.
At this time, the two waiters had almost finished cleaning up. Emperor Changsheng waved his hand gently, and the waiters bowed and exited the stone room.
Emperor Changsheng turned to Muyinaqi and nodded gently, and said in a calm tone: "Bring them in."
Upon seeing this, Muyinaqi exited the stone room. After a while, four mountain puppet warriors escorted two young mountain puppet men who were tied with ropes and had frightened faces.
Muyinaqi also followed in and directed the warriors to control the two men beside the altar like Mu Sheng.
A quarter of an hour later, four more warriors entered the secret room with a strange clay jar in their arms and placed it around the altar. The jar was covered with talismans written in cinnabar and red pen.
When Mu Sheng looked at the jar, he immediately understood what the so-called bullshit Nirvana Rebirth Technique was. It was a soul-gathering jar, which could extract the soul of a living person and seal it in the jar so that his body would not immediately die.
He looked at the two restrained young men again. Wasn't this just taking their bodies? What the hell are you talking about about nirvana and rebirth?
Mu Sheng turned around and glanced at Muyinaqi, that bitch, and she even pretended that her mother had a nose and eyes, so much so that Mu Sheng didn't even recognize her own mother...
At this time, Emperor Changsheng turned his head and looked at Mu Sheng jokingly, and said, "Boy, do you understand?"
Mu Sheng still held on to the last chance and said: "Isn't it the art of seizing the body that the emperor used? Doesn't it seem that he doesn't want to do it at all with the Nirvana Rebirth Art?"
The Emperor of Immortality slightly nodded his head and said: "Well, the young master is also a Taoist. You can understand at a glance. There is indeed no so-called nirvana rebirth technique. This is the technique of seizing the body and turning the soul. Generally, the technique of seizing the body cannot inherit the original state." Those who have the skills of a practitioner can only start all over again.”
"But I have been experimenting for a long time before I created this unique soul-turning technique. It can absorb all my cultivation over the past several hundred years into my new body. In this way, I will be able to transfer my skills after seven or forty-nine days of seclusion. If you can completely use it for your own use, you don’t have to hide around after taking the body and worry about the revenge of your enemies, hahaha..."
Mu Sheng took one look at the thick sores all over his body and said, "Isn't there some side effects of your body-seizing technique, Great Emperor?"
The Immortal Emperor nodded and said: "Well, you guessed it right. After all, this is not my original body. The soul is still not fully compatible with it, and it has absorbed my lifelong skills. This new body is already low in cultivation. With the As time goes by, this physical body will not be able to withstand the skills I have accumulated for hundreds of years, and it will become what it is now, which is also one of the costs."
Emperor Changsheng waved his hand to Muyinaqi and others and ordered: "You all, please step back. I am about to start casting spells. I am very satisfied with these three bodies."
Muyinaqi and others knelt down and bowed to the emperor before going out. Then the entrance to the passage was blocked by three stone gates. At this time, Mu Sheng, the emperor and the two unknown young men were the only ones left in the stone room.
Mu Sheng heard from Emperor Changsheng that I am very satisfied with these three bodies... What does this mean? Could he be one of them?
Mu Sheng was really frightened at this moment, but he still refused to give up and said: "Emperor, didn't you always let me watch the ceremony? I just watched. Is there any misunderstanding between us? The one million gold ransom fee will be paid soon. arrive……"
