He wears an old Taoist robe and wears a mask on his face. The mask is in the shape of a ghost, with only half of the face. It is the face of ghosts and gods, the symbol of Jingyao ghosts and gods.
"Shang Xia, I am the ghost god Jingyao."
Lu Ju transformed into the ghost and god Jingyao looked like when he was alive, and only he could imitate the appearance of the venerable one.
"You passed the test."
His tone was very calm, but it was this calmness that seemed to make Shang Xia feel a little bit real.
Shang Xia slowly lowered his spiritual bow, lowered his eyes slightly, and quickly said, "The Venerable just said in the main hall that after passing the test, you can inherit the Dharma. Now it's time to pass on the Dharma to me."
His tone was very firm. Lu Ju, who had transformed into Jing Yao's ghostly appearance, had doubts for a moment. He seemed to be looking through the secret room to see Zhao Ning, who was watching from the outside world. He seemed to be asking, are you sure Shang Xia really made the mistake? ?
"What?" Shang Xia stared at him, not afraid of Jingyao's ghosts and gods.
Lu Ju felt extremely complicated and finally made a decision.
He raised his hand, opened his palm, and the spiritual light gathered on it, gradually forming into a spiritual bead.
"Of course I want to pass it on to you." He said, "I have lived a low-key life for thousands of years, with no hatred or resentment. Only after death will I find no peace. You are my chosen successor. I have only one word to say. you."
Shang Xia stared closely at the spirit bead, and he could feel the mysterious and mysterious power gradually gathering on it.
"Speak, Your Majesty."
"Kill someone for me." Lu Ju said harshly.
Shang Xia slowly shifted his gaze from the spirit bead to the face opposite, as if he wanted to see a more realistic expression from the shadow.
"He is Ye Feng of the Ye family in Yangzhou. No, now it should be said to be Master Ye Feng of the Ye family in the Blazing Sun Cultivation World. Kill him!"
Shang Xia slowly took a step forward, "It turns out that the Venerable has a grudge against him..."
He took another step forward and said without stopping, "Since I, Shang Xia, have accepted the inheritance..."
Taking a step further, he spoke slowly, attracting Lu Ju's attention, "You should take responsibility for yourself..."
"only……"
The subject of his conversation suddenly changed. At this time, he was no more than ten feet closer to Lu Ju.
Lu Ju noticed the subtlety, "Just what?"
"It's just... you go die first!"
Shang Xia suddenly got angry. At some point, the string of the bow and arrow in his hand was pulled. The brilliance of the bow and arrow instantly illuminated the entire secret room. The moment it lit up, the arrows split into tens of thousands of arrows and completely surrounded Lu Ju.
Lu Ju was shocked and had no time to do anything else. He cast a spell to teleport away from the place, and the spiritual beads in his hand also fell from the sudden change.
He appeared three feet behind Lu Ju, turned around in shock, and saw that the spiritual bead representing inheritance had rolled to Shang Xia's feet. Shang Xia glanced down, and Lu Ju's eyes also fell, but out of the corner of his eye, Suddenly, he saw a sneer on the corner of Shang Xia's mouth, and then he gathered a spiritual light in his hand, gathered every inch of energy, gathered a little bit of power, and hit the spiritual pearl directly under Lu Ju's astonished eyes.
"You..." Lu Ju pointed at Shang Xia tremblingly, "That is the inheritance spirit bead."
"Inheritance, hehe." Shang Xia laughed, his strength increased by 30%, the spirit beads began to collapse, and the fragments exploded at his feet, "I don't bother to take this inheritance. Lead me into the valley, set up an illusion, and bind me Friend, Lu Ju, you will die today!"
As he spoke, his aura suddenly surged. He was originally in the high realm of Foundation Establishment. When his aura climbed, he rushed into the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and then crashed into the Golden Core realm without any hindrance.
Lu Ju didn't even have time to be surprised that Shang Xia discovered his identity, he just shouted, "Hunyuan Forbidden Breaking Pill!"
The Hunyuan Forbidden Breaking Pill is an elixir that is banned by all the major sects in Kyushu. Under this golden elixir, you can ignore bottlenecks and forcibly increase your own strength, but the side effects are terrible. The elixir will lose its effectiveness within an hour. If it passes, the realm will fall directly, and all the bones in the body will be destroyed. The upper limit of cultivation is almost limited to the realm of golden elixir. Very few people can break through the golden elixir after taking it.
Shang Xia did not pause at all. The power of the golden elixir realm merged into the spiritual bow, and the spiritual bow began to transform. The bow body was like the wings of a phoenix, and the divine light was blazing like a flame.
Phoenix God-Slaying Bow. In the main hall, Zhao Ning whispered softly about the incomplete Tongtian Lingbao.
Such arrogant Shang Xia made Lu Ju instantly see Jing Yao as a ghost.
He stood there, Shang Xia's arrow had already been shot, and Lu Ju made no move to hide. He looked at the arrow that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly laughed.
"Okay, okay!" Jing Yao's ghostly appearance gradually disappeared, revealing Lu Ju's true face, full of relief, "Shang Xia, I didn't misjudge you."
Shang Xia was shocked for a moment, but saw Lu Ju walking towards the arrow on his own.
Until the arrow penetrated his body, Zhao Ning lowered his eyes, not surprised or stopped.
A piece of blue jade appeared above Lu Ju's head. Under the jade, his body began to become illusory. Cracks spread with a point as the core on the jade. The core was like a wound piercing Lu Ju's heart.
It is jade that maintains his long life.
That was the ghost jade given to him by Jingyao ghosts and gods.
"Lu Ju?" Shang Xia looked at Lu Ju's changes in surprise, and saw that there was no resistance or hatred in his eyes, only relief and satisfaction. He became dull and asked, "Why?"
Lu Ju smiled and said nothing.
The secret room was still a secret room, and Lu Ju's body began to become illusory, revealing the appearance of his ghost body. As the piercing power eroded, his ghost body also shattered. At this moment, Lu Ju saw the appearance of his soul body. A spiritual bead wrapped in it was exactly the same as the inherited spiritual bead he destroyed just now.
Lu Ju's voice sounded in the secret room, more solemn and solemn than before.
"Shang Xia, accept the inheritance of Jingyao ghosts and gods."
No matter what Shang Xia's attitude was now, the inheritance spirit bead burst out with light like the sun. The light was irresistible and impossible to hide. The next moment, Shang Xia was wrapped in light.
Lu Ju's voice floated in the secret room.
"Shang Xia, Jingyao's ghosts and gods have been around for thousands of years. He has exterminated demons and defended the Tao throughout his life. Even if he has earthly demons in his body, he will never be affected by demonic thoughts. He is the only saint in the world."
"Now that Jingyao ghosts and gods have recognized you, you should respect the ghosts and gods as your teachers, carry forward the heart of a saint, slay demons and eliminate evil, redeem the world, and protect the peace of the nine states."
"Shang Xia, one thought can become a god, and one thought can also become a devil. I hope you will achieve the name of a god like Jing Yao, a ghost and a god, and you will not be disturbed by devils throughout your life."
"However, if one day you abandon your god and become a demon, no matter what the reason is, it will be a fait accompli, and heaven will not allow it. Tens of thousands of calamities will come, and your soul will be punished by thunder, and there will be no reincarnation."
His words fell, and the light that enveloped Shang Xia instantly merged into Shang Xia's soul. Shang Xia sat cross-legged in the sky, closing his eyes to comprehend.
This time is long and silent.
Pieces of shattered souls floated out of the secret room, and he paid homage to the master in the main hall.
When he floated out of the hall, he looked at Zhao Ning, paused in mid-air, and asked the last doubt in his heart.
"When did you know that I am the inheritance carrier?"
"When you said you couldn't find the Ghost Tomb."
The soul became silent and became clear.
"After Ye Feng and others broke in, they not only destroyed most of the Ghost Tomb, but also drove me out of there."
"Now the Ghost Tomb is controlled by outsiders."
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, hahaha."
He laughed sadly at the end, and the soul fragments gathered together and flew upwards, passing through the hall.
Zhao Ning raised his eyes and looked through the ceiling of the main hall. The soul reached the highest point of Ghost Valley and took a look at the owner's residence before finally dissipating.
At the time of death, the soul is pure, and the soul sees the fairy soul in the hall glowing with golden merit.
The soul realizes who she is and what mission she has undertaken.
The shapeless soul bowed to her from a distance and disappeared from the world.
As the days passed, outside the main hall, under the shade of trees, there was a stone table and stone bench. Zhao Ning suddenly appeared. He looked down at the flowers in the deep valley. He waved his sleeves and a tea set appeared on the stone table.
She slowly poured herself a glass, took a sip, and stretched out her other hand, an ancient book appeared in her hand.
The ancient book was a gift from Master Shishu. Zhao Ning had read it during the nine-story green wood trial tower in the Yangshen Realm. It was the book about special physiques.
It's still the same page.
"...The body of two souls is born with two souls. The two souls live and die together. They are indivisible under the soul. Above the soul, they need to be sealed by destiny..."
Jingyao Ghost and God is worthy of being a saint thousands of years ago. He was able to break through the limitations of his physical constitution, suppress the earthly demons with his mind, ignore the hurdles of becoming a god, and become a soul.
The law of heaven has been set since the beginning of the world. Everything in the world operates according to the law, but at the same time, there is also a glimmer of hope, even if it seems impossible.
Zhao Ning turned another page.
"The body of gods and demons. In ancient times, there were gods and demons. Gods were born from heaven and earth. Demons and gods fell. The combination of gods and demons gave birth to strange people. They have the blood of gods and demons and possess the power of gods and demons. For millions of years, Nirvana is in the long river of history, and if it appears, it must be at the right time."
Zhao Ning's eyes fell on the four words "born at the right time" and moved away expressionlessly.
She took another sip of tea, and did not continue to read. She put down the tea cup, closed the ancient book, turned sideways and looked back at the outer door of the palace, and her body transformed into the appearance of an octogenarian.
At this moment, someone rushed out of the palace.
It's Shang Xia.
There was no joy on Shang Xia's face as he accepted the inheritance of Master Yuanshen. A little worry and panic loomed, until he saw Zhao Ning under the tree.
He opened his mouth as if to call his great-aunt, but no sound came out.
After taking a deep breath, a surprised and clear voice came out, "Grandma!"
He rushed to Zhao Ning in a few steps, stopped two steps to the side, "Auntie, are you okay?"
"My great-aunt is fine, but you and your grandnephew have disappeared for a long time." Zhao Ning's voice was gentle, with the comfort of an elder.
Shang Xia recalled the experience during this period and looked around. The four seasons in Guishen Valley were like spring, and no seasonal changes could be seen.
He asked, "Great-aunt, what time is it now?"
"It doesn't take long, only a hundred days." Zhao Ning said, pointing to the stone bench on the other side, "Sit down."
Shang Xia sat down slowly, but his mind was still immersed in the experiences of these days, and he suddenly remembered the scene before entering the hall.
"Auntie, has the illusion... been broken?" This was Shang Xia's hidden worry since she woke up.
"It's broken. The formation was broken a hundred days ago." Zhao Ning told him calmly.
He asked again, "What about Shan Shu and the others? Those fellow Taoists who came in with us, are they okay?"
Zhao Ning didn't answer him immediately. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "What can happen to us?"
The voice is very playful, and you can tell who it is as soon as you hear it.
Shang Xia turned around and saw Yanyu looking at him with her arms akimbo and smiling. Shan Shu and Zhong Wenyan were standing beside her.
"Yanyu! Wenyan! Brother Shan!"
Shang Xia flew in front of them in an instant, patted Yanyu on the shoulder, and then hugged Shan Shuxiong, his happy mood not concealed at all.
"Fellow Daoist Yu and the others have returned to Xiyuan Town ahead of schedule. Don't worry, Brother Shang." Zhong Wenyan said to him with a smile, with tears glistening in his eyes, showing excitement.
Shang Xia looked at Zhong Wenyan and said, "As long as you are fine."
