Jiang Yao crossed his arms at the side, "Netherworld Cultivation Realm? Didn't you hear what the turtle demon said just now? It has seen Shen Zhaoning in Tianzhihai, and I'm afraid it came from other cultivation worlds."
"Being able to cross the natural chasm and the sea is not only courage, but also strength and luck." Li Ji sighed with emotion.
Jiang Yao turned his face and stopped answering, but several other people also remembered the turtle demon's evaluation of Jiang Yao.
Yan Ling looked at Jiang Yao with strange eyes, "I heard the turtle demon said that you have the most precious treasure of Youdu, the Heaven and Earth Ruler. Where did you get it? Could it be that you have entered Youdu."
Upon hearing this question, Nether Demon Wei Shuo's eyes moved and he asked, "If you have been to Youdu, how is the situation in Youdu?"
"It's not good." After Yan Ling caught the clue, Jiang Yao's expression changed a little, but he quickly recovered and turned to a worried expression, "When I entered Youdu, the black water had just Overflowing, I almost fell into the black water for a moment."
Hearing what Jiang Yao said, Xu Xiuming grasped the key, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you mean 'it just flooded', then do you know where the source of the Blackwater River's seal breakthrough is?"
"I remember the direction slightly, but it's a little blurry." Jiang Yao pretended to be confused, looked at Xu Xiuming and said, "Why does Fellow Daoist Xu ask like this? Is it possible that Fellow Daoist Xu has a way to solve the flooding of the Blackwater River?"
"My cultivation level is low, so naturally there is no way to solve it, but our Jihan Palace has been practicing the right way of heaven and earth since ancient times. As a member of Jihan Palace, as long as we report clues to the palace, the real person in the palace or even the master may be able to solve it. Come out and resolve this for us.”
"Seriously." It was the underworld demon Wei Shuo who interrupted.
His original purpose of leaving the Nether Cultivation World was to find a way to solve the problem of the Black Water River. Before, everyone was not familiar with each other. At most, they knew their names and sporadic origins. After exploring the Nether Moon Mansion, they found that they were somewhat familiar with each other. Friendship is established. At least during the crisis in Ming Yue Mansion, these people did not do tricks secretly, so all other minor problems can be ignored.
Nether Demon Wei Shuo was very excited, "I wonder, can I go to Jihan Palace with fellow Taoist Xu to visit? I am a native of Dayou Country, and I am much more familiar with the affairs of Youdu Blackwater than others. I can tell your seniors in the palace about this. , so as to assist senior when dealing with the Blackwater River."
"This is better, but the clue to the source of the Blackwater River is still the most important thing." Xu Xiu Ming handed over to Jiang Yao, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Jiang can tell me this clue, or go back to Jihan Palace with me ?”
"This matter cannot be explained clearly in just a few words." Jiang Yao smiled, "I will go to Jihan Palace with you. I just want to disturb your sect."
"Hey, if you have any questions, Fellow Daoist Jiang, I'll welcome you."
Xu Xiuming said a few words, and at this moment, a clear light flashed not far away, and Zhao Ning's figure appeared.
The conversation between the few people stopped for an instant, and Xu Xu asked, "Miss Shen, is nothing wrong?"
Zhao Ning shook his head and just said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time. Let's go." Seeing that Zhao Ning didn't want to say anything more, it was difficult for everyone to get to the bottom of it, not to mention that the strength Zhao Ning had just shown in the void was already They felt the oppression beyond their cultivation, and they dared not say anything more to Zhao Ning.
Several people left the cliff and just descended from Houwei Mountain, but they didn't know that the sea of clouds outside the Houwei Mountain cliff suddenly became restless.
A huge spiritual vortex rotates in the sea of clouds, absorbing all the spiritual energy of the world and the surrounding half a mile into it. The dark clouds in the sky seem to be sucked into the vortex.
It seemed like something earth-shattering was about to happen.
But when the sea of clouds on the cliff was almost completely empty, the whirlpool of the sea of clouds suddenly stopped. I don't know what happened. The whirlpool disappeared, and the sea of clouds rotated and returned to its original state.
Deep in Youdu, a guy completely hidden in the darkness slowly opened his eyes.
Those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, but their eyes swayed slightly, and the whole Youdu began to tremble. The gaze seemed to have substance, penetrating everything in Youdu, until it touched the nine-layer restriction on the gate of Youdu, the penetrating The power was suddenly cut off, and his vision fell into darkness again.
The guy in the dark let out a meaningless "ha", without knowing his intention or emotion, and continued to close his eyes.
Zhao Ning and everyone were already three or four miles away from Hou Tiao Mountain. She was wielding her sword in the air. Zhao Ning's speed was a little slower. She suddenly looked back with feeling. That direction was Hou Tiao Mountain.
"Miss Shen, what's wrong?" Xu Xu asked next to Zhao Ning.
"I seem to feel a slight fluctuation." Zhao Ning murmured slightly.
Xu Xu followed her gaze and didn't notice anything, so he smiled and reassured, "Maybe you have consumed too much mana. Why don't we go to the city to find a place to repair it?"
After finding the soul wood, the group felt a little more relaxed. After hearing the proposal of permission, Nether Demon Wei Shuo immediately agreed and teased Li Ji with a smile.
"Li Ji, just go to your teahouse. It's time to change your storytelling skills."
Li Ji laughed loudly, "Okay, everyone, please, I will tell you a story about a god descending to earth later."
"Then I'm looking forward to it. If God is not like God, I can encourage those who listen to books below to smash your vegetable leaves."
A few people were talking and laughing as they fell into the city before. It was dusk and the streets were busy.
After half a stick of incense, I heard a scream in the teahouse.
"Dear readers, I only knew about the battle between strong men that day, but I didn't know that a god actually descended to earth." Li Ji changed out of his robes and wore a storyteller's robe that could only be seen by ordinary people. "I think back then, the demons in the Netherworld of Cultivation were leaderless and in chaos. , and even almost came into conflict with the cultivators in the Chengxuan cultivation world. However, heroes appeared in troubled times. Tens of thousands of years ago, a hero came out of Youdu, claimed to be a descendant of Tu Bo, and became the master of Great You..."
"Exactly." The underworld demon turned his head disdainfully and stopped listening, "I thought he was going to talk about the legend of gods descending to earth, but he was actually talking about the rotten sesame seeds and millet in the Great You Kingdom. Although the Lord of the Great You has thousands of He has not appeared in the world for years, but let’s ask everyone in the Netherworld of Cultivation to know who doesn’t know about it.”
Zhao Ning was blowing the tea leaves on the water. When she heard the words of the underworld demon Wei Shuo, she raised her eyes and looked at him, "Then why has he not appeared in the world for thousands of years?"
"Is it possible?" Yan Ling's voice contained a guess that everyone understood.
"Don't underestimate our Lord of the Great Netherworld. The Lord of the Great Netherworld is still alive and well. Be careful if you hear your disrespectful words and you will be punished." Nether Demon Wei Shuo picked up the teacup and took a sip. His eyes It is full of reverence and longing, "It is said that the Lord of Dayou has achieved the body of the soul thousands of years ago and then went into seclusion."
"You also know that for a venerable person who lives as long as heaven, hundreds or thousands of years may pass in the blink of an eye. This is a common thing."
After hearing what the underworld demon Wei Shuo said, everyone showed respect. How many souls are there in Jiuzhou? They don’t know, but they know they can’t even count them on one hand.
Zhao Ning stopped listening to their conversation and took a sip of tea. The tea in the Netherworld was a bit astringent. Her expression did not waver at all. She continued to sip it like a fine tea until she accidentally sipped a tea leaf. Zhao Ning suddenly felt something. She looked up and looked out the window, only to see two familiar figures appearing outside the window.
One man and one woman turned out to be Zhan Shen and Meng Congyi.
Meng Congyi looked around in various stalls in a very good mood. He saw some weird-shaped, colorful and beautiful stones being sold at one stall. He picked out one of them, and the two of them walked to a deserted corner. , put his head against his head, carefully injected spiritual power to test, and then used the test to break open the stone, and took out a middle-grade spiritual stone.
Zhao Ning was not surprised by her good luck in "picking up the slack" time and time again.
She looked away and did not see these two old friends. However, after half a cup of tea, Meng Congyi and Zhan Shen entered the teahouse and listened to Li Ji's story with relish.
Li Ji saw this little girl with a bright smile at a glance. After telling the story about gods descending to earth, he asked everyone if there was anything they wanted to know. This time, he didn't even wait for the audience's chattering and directly selected Meng Congyi.
"Little girl, we are destined. The Taoist priest will not accept the spiritual stone, but will answer your question for free."
Meng Congyi blinked and said excitedly, "Then what should I do if I become such a god?"
This sentence probably asked everyone's desire, and the teahouse was extremely quiet for a while.
Li Ji was a little confused by this question. After all, he was only a monk in the foundation-building stage. But looking at Meng Congyi's expectant face, he couldn't bear to let it turn into disappointment, so he faked a cough. Seriously making up nonsense.
"First of all, you must get the approval of Youdu; secondly, you must let Youdu's gate open for you; and finally, let Youdu offer you the supreme law."
"Tch..." I was expecting Li Ji to tell me some secrets of practice that would make people cry. However, they didn't want to get such a perfunctory answer. The audience stood up in unison, waved their hands, and left the teahouse directly.
"Hey, everyone, there is nothing wrong with what I said."
"There is indeed nothing wrong with it." Wei Shuo, the underworld demon, shouted from above, "It's like saying, 'As long as you do this, do that again, and finally do this again, you will become a heavenly being.' Li Ji, please don't treat the underworld demon Be a fool."
The moment Meng Congyi looked up, Yunsi Qianhuan's cloak fluttered slightly, and her figure seemed to have transformed into a tall and thick man in the eyes of others.
Meng Congyi covered his mouth and said with a smile, "This brother Ming Yao summed it up really accurately."
After being praised like this by Meng Congyi, Nether Demon Wei Shuo felt embarrassed. He scratched his hair and comforted him, "Girl, Youdu is not a good place to go, and it's not just anyone who wants to be the Lord of Youdu." Of course, it’s better to just let nature take its course and practice well, maybe you’ll live as long as heaven.”
"My little girl, I remember." Meng Congyi stood up with a smile and casually cupped his hands towards Ming Yao Wei Shuo, looking across the interior of the wing, feeling a familiar breath, but couldn't find it, "Ah, there are so many seniors. My little girl has some things that she doesn’t understand about cultivation, could you please go up and ask for advice?”
This is a bit abrupt, but for Meng Congyi, there is no such thing as abrupt, because she will always handle it smoothly.
Ming Yao Wei Shuo subconsciously glanced into the wing room and saw that no one had any comment. He was about to agree not to make the little girl sad, but the man next to the little girl suddenly stood up with a bad look on his face. He grabbed Meng Congyi's arm and walked out. Meng Congyi couldn't get away no matter how hard he tried, so he had to be dragged out by Zhan Shen.
Li Ji and Ming Yao Wei Shuo were also slightly surprised, but they did not stop them. The close relationship between the two could be seen with a clear eye.
Li Ji smiled and said to Ming Yao Wei Shuo, "That's all, don't ruin the girl's marriage."
Zhao Ning knew that Meng Congyi had probably come up just now to confirm the feeling in her heart. She should thank Zhan Shen. Looking out from the window, she saw Zhan Shen dragging Meng Congyi into the alley, and then Meng Congyi was After throwing off the restraint, both of them looked bad, and they started to quarrel after saying a few words.
Tianshenmei is like this, making everyone like it, but at the same time it will arouse the greed and possessiveness of others. Thinking of Zhan Shen's polite and graceful appearance before, and now Zhan Shen is trying to get close to the high-level underworld demon because of Meng Congyi. I feel uneasy, they are really two different people.
She looked away and said calmly, "The tea has bottomed out, do you guys want to go?"
"Let's go to the Blackwater River."
The group of people dodged and disappeared into the teahouse, but Zhao Ning had just stood up slowly. Her figure was hidden in the shadows. It was probably a few rays of light that attracted the attention of the ghost demon on the street. For a while, many people were shouting, "This teahouse is really real." It was opened by Senior Establishment."
"Then what Senior Ji Zhu said is true. Come on, hurry up and say goodbye. I ask Senior to bless our practice smoothly."
"..."
Meng Congyi heard the sound and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the tea house, but all she saw was an empty window hole. When she was a little confused, she suddenly saw a strange and complicated pattern emerging from the window hole. Meng Congyi was shocked, and then Looking closely, the lines disappeared in the window opening, but reappeared in my eyes.
She couldn't help but stepped back and almost fell, Zhan Shen subconsciously reached out to help her.
"What's wrong, Congyi?"
Meng Congyi shook her head and blinked. The lines were gone, not to mention the lines that appeared in the window hole. It seemed that everything was just dazzled by her eyes.
"It's okay, maybe I'm confused."
Zhao Ning instantly stepped out of the teahouse. In a flash, the silver light of the Chamoon Sword swam and flew straight into the sky to catch up with the people who had gone ahead.
Because of the common experiences in childhood, it seems that they were somehow connected by the way of heaven, which made them feel connected to each other. Just as Meng Congyi felt friendly to Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning also had a good impression of Meng Congyi from the beginning. , and even stayed with him for a while, otherwise they would have parted ways due to Zhao Ning's cold temperament.
However, Zhao Ning knew that she was different from Meng Congyi, and that they were unlikely to become any close friends. She did not want to be implicated in the "thread" anymore, so she sealed the connection with the word "forbidden" based on the ancient cloud pattern.
While Zhao Ning was thinking, several people in front were talking, "Where should we cross the Blackwater River?"
Li Ji suggested, "Go to the south. The Blackwater River is narrower, so you don't need to worry about being on the soul wooden boat for too long."
"No." Yan Ling said, "On the south bank is Mingshan Mountain, which cannot be leaped over. To enter Chengxuan Cultivation Realm, you have to go thousands of miles around, which is too far."
"Then go north? Directly into the Chengxuan Snowfield?" Xu Xiuming thought, and then looked at the underworld demon Wei Shuo, "Brother Wei, you need to add more fur."
Wei Shuoguang | The animal head on his bare left shoulder seemed to be roaring in his muscle movements, "What a joke, am I, the mighty underworld demon, afraid of the cold?"
While several people were talking about where to cross the river, Zhao Ning said, "I know a place. Although it is not close to Ming Mountain, it does not directly enter the Chengxuan Cultivation Realm. There is just an old man on the bank who insists on filling the river. With my heart, it is most suitable for this underworld demon to become the ferryman of the soul wooden boat."
"What do you think?"
The functions of the soul wood and the divine ax are limited, and they will not be selfish and monopolistic. Moreover, if there is a Nether Demon ferry, the problem of communication between Netherworld and Chengxuan can be solved in the short term, and even the anti-human culture in the Netherworld of cultivation can be restrained. , killing two birds with one stone, and several people quickly agreed.
Zhao Ning led a group of people to the old Nether Demon whom they met before. The old Nether Demon was still trying to cross the river with various pieces of wood, occasionally lifting a few large rocks and throwing them into the Blackwater River.
Zhao Ning stepped forward and said, "Old man."
Old Ming Yao paused and looked up in confusion. When he saw Zhao Ning, he suddenly laughed.
"It's you, a human girl."
Obviously, even though this old Nether Demon has no cultivation, he has already used nearly a hundred years of experience to see that Zhao Ning is not a Nether Demon but a human race.
Zhao Ning was not surprised, she just smiled slightly and said, "Old man, we have found a way to cross the Blackwater River. Are you willing to be the ferryman of the Blackwater River?"
The old ghost demon was stunned, and his hands were trembling subconsciously, "You...you said...the Blackwater River can...can be crossed?"
"Yes." Zhao Ning nodded solemnly, then raised his hand and pointed.
But a strange piece of wood appeared above the Blackwater River. The wood was cut into a small boat. A stone ax was inserted into the bow of the boat, and it slowly fell into the Blackwater River.
