"Ascension is a scam." The Imperial Master murmured, repeating Gu Xu's words.
Then he was silent for a moment and raised his own question: "If the ascension is a scam, then those ascended immortals in history, such as Emperor Taizu, and the ancestors of the three great clans... where have they gone? Are you talking to Kong Xuan? During the confrontation between Sanren, did you get any other key information from him?"
It may seem unbelievable that the majestic Imperial Master Qi sought the answer to his question from a third-level monk.
But this is the consistent temperament of the Imperial Master.
As long as "academic issues" are discussed, whether it is the art of talismans or the great ways of heaven and earth, he will instantly forget his status in the world and mingle with monks of different statuses and different cultivation levels.
"Kongxuan Sanren mentioned that the ascending thunder catastrophe was hundreds of times more terrifying than he imagined. He thought it was impossible for any monk to survive such a thunder catastrophe," Gu Xu said, "After that, I once guessed , perhaps the thunder tribulation is not a necessary step to ascend to the immortal world, but a means to eliminate powerful practitioners.
"After all, the 'immortal world' only exists in book records and oral traditions, but no one can prove that it really exists. Every monk who has experienced thunder tribulation, except for Kongxuan Sanren who rely on "Zhao Ming Forbidden" "Those who are still alive in the world have completely lost contact with the human world... We cannot judge whether they have reached the paradise world above the nine heavens, or whether they have lost their souls and left no bones in the process of overcoming the tribulation..."
"The Immortal World must exist," before Gu Xu could finish speaking, the Imperial Master interrupted him, "The Immortal World is the residence of God. God exists, and the Immortal World exists."
When saying this, the Imperial Master's tone was very firm, completely different from his previous amiable attitude.
But after he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed a little excited, and worried that he might scare Gu Xu, so he smiled and added: "It is praiseworthy for young people to dare to make bold assumptions. But this kind of It’s a matter of principle, so don’t question it easily.”
"I understand, Master Imperial Master." Gu Xu nodded and said.
He realized that in the minds of the native residents of the wilderness, "God" had a supreme status that could not be desecrated.
The Imperial Master can put down his identity and talk freely to him about the "Bagua Logic Circuit Diagram".
But when the topic involves "God", his attitude becomes particularly stubborn and determined.
Afterwards, the Imperial Master waved his sleeves, conjured three incense sticks out of thin air, lit them with his true essence, and inserted them into the incense burner in front of Chiyangzi's tomb.
The incense burner is small in size and simple in shape. After being exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, there is a light rust on the surface.
In the early morning sunshine, green smoke swirls upward, curling up, and has a faint fragrance.
Gu Xu also followed behind the Imperial Master and bowed to Chi Yangzi's grave.
The "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" created by Chi Yangzi led him into the world of "Tao" and also helped him escape from death beside the black altar in Yishan... In a sense, Chi Yangzi can be regarded as a one of his teachers.
However, at this moment, Gu Xu suddenly frowned slightly.
"Master Imperial Master, I would like to ask... who chose the address of Senior Chiyangzi's cemetery?"
"He chose it himself during his lifetime." The Imperial Master turned around with a somewhat surprised look on his face, as if he did not expect Gu Xu to ask such a question, "Master had been depressed in the house after he abandoned his cultivation. So one day , my junior brother and I took him out to relax. When we walked to this place, he suddenly told us that he would be buried here in the future. "
"I feel like there's something wrong with the feng shui of this place."
Gu Xu had discovered at this time that the place where Chiyangzi's cemetery was located was not a geomantic treasure place for burials in the traditional sense.
Because the place where the tomb is located is a yin place, which can easily cause the gathering of evil spirits and the birth of ghosts and ghosts, people in the wilderness have always attached great importance to the feng shui of yin houses.
There was this description in the Feng Shui books he had read: "Mountains come and water returns, bringing longevity and wealth. Mountains imprison water and water can capture kings and destroy marquises."
People often choose a flat and wide place close to mountains and rivers as a cemetery. This requires sufficient sunlight and green plants around it.
They believe that such a place can ensure the circulation of breath, balance yin and yang, and prevent excessive yin energy from causing disaster.
But Chiyangzi's tomb is completely inconsistent with these characteristics.
This place is located in the northeast of Luojing City. It belongs to the "Gen" position in the Bagua, which is the location of the "Ghost Gate"; and its terrain is also located between several ridges, surrounded by mountains in all directions. It is difficult to advance or retreat, as if it is imprisoned. shape.
In addition, Gu Xu also learned that Luojing City is known as the "Land of Dragon Xing" - its luck comes from Kunlun and Qinling Mountains, which are called "Dragon Veins". The "Tai Chi Treasure Point" for luck.
However, due to terrain factors, Luo Jing's strong dragon energy was blocked here, making it difficult to circulate.
If Gu Xu's judgment is correct, the Feng Shui here has formed a "trapped dragon and heavenly prison" situation.
Not a good place for a burial.
Chiyangzi...why would he choose to bury himself in such a place?
"Little friend Gu, although I am not a Feng Shui master, I have read some books on Feng Shui and Kanyu." At the same time, the national master also spoke slowly from the side, "When Master chose this place, I also felt very Unexpected. But then I thought again, Master has always been known for his profound knowledge, and there must be a reason why he chose this place.
"We disciples with limited talent and knowledge should not question his thoughts."
Hearing his words, Gu Xu deeply felt once again that although the Imperial Master showed a thirst for knowledge and was not ashamed to ask questions, he was still an out-and-out wild man in his heart - he believed in God, respected his teachers, obeyed the imperial authority, and his mind There are many deep-rooted ideas in it, and authority is rarely questioned.
On the contrary, Chi Yangzi, who created the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", seemed like an alien.
Gu Xu stopped talking.
He stood quietly, thinking about what Chiyangzi had in mind when he came to this place during his lifetime.
After Kongxuan Sanren failed to ascend, he used the "Zhaoming Forbidden Technique" to turn himself into a ghost, and then under the influence of the forbidden technique, he gradually lost his humanity - from a hero who killed Yongzhu and eliminated harm for the people, to a He killed an evil ghost who did not hesitate to use hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou Prefecture as sacrifices to hold a promotion ceremony.
But at the same time, he also used the last bit of rationality belonging to the human race to leave a warning in the inheritance on the top of Laoshan Mountain with a song "Qing Ping Le" to "be careful in your journey, don't ask for ascension".
Such a move seems a bit too cautious for a monk in the ninth realm.
At this time, Gu Xu also thought that in front of the black altar in Yishan, when Kong Xuansan forced some memory fragments into his brain, a section of the content was silently erased.
There seems to be a mysterious force that wants to prevent him from knowing the key information.
"Could it be that...Senior Chiyangzi set his cemetery in this 'Trapped Dragon Prison' because he wanted to pass on some important information to future generations in this way?" Gu Xu's mind suddenly popped up. Made a bold guess.
He took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This time, he no longer relied solely on sight to observe the environment here, but relied on his own spiritual consciousness to capture the flow of the atmosphere here.
Seeing his behavior, the Imperial Master shook his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Could he be inspired by something again and enter a state of enlightenment?"
The Imperial Master was not surprised by this.
After all, ever since Gu Xu suddenly realized the "East Wind Night Blooming Thousands of Flowers" spell in the arena at night, almost the entire Luojing City knew that this young man from Qingzhou Prefecture was extremely talented and had terrifying powers that were beyond common sense. Comprehension.
The Imperial Master was even full of expectations for the outcome of his enlightenment.
…………
Time passes minute by minute.
The cold and cold atmosphere from all around gradually intertwined in Gu Xu's vision, as if forming a special, gray filter, allowing him to see a different world.
At this moment, the sparsely planted hillside disappeared, and the clear blue sky disappeared.
Instead, there is a nearly airtight iron mesh, extending from the high dome to the distant horizon.
The ground is also made of iron mesh.
Outside the iron net, there was a viscous flame as red as blood burning, making it scorching hot.
There are also iron snakes and iron dogs, breathing fire from their mouths, patrolling the prison walls.
Being in this iron wall and iron mesh, Gu Xu felt like a fish in a pot, being roasted by the high temperature.
Inexplicably, a sentence came to his mind: "The iron walls around Zhouzai are covered with iron mesh, and the ground is also iron. The fire from above can penetrate the bottom, and the fire from below can penetrate above."
He felt that he had seen this description in a book before.
But at this moment, even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out where this sentence came from.
Then he glanced at the Imperial Master next to him.
He found that there was a metal shackle on the Imperial Master's feet at some point - this was not an ordinary metal, but a red-hot iron, which scorched his flesh and blood, and caused the red blood to flow out. One place.
But the Imperial Master remained calm and unaware of this.
Gu Xu looked down at himself again.
Fortunately, he was not shackled or had any wounds on his body.
There was a thin, silver-white halo that enveloped his entire body, forming a protective barrier. In this silvery white light, it seems that you can vaguely see the shadows of many stars.
However, those dark red flames emerging from the ground have been trying to break through his barrier formed by starlight, like countless hungry beasts, trying to devour him completely.
Seeing such a scene, even if Gu Xu had a psychological quality far beyond ordinary people, he couldn't help but shudder.
"The wilderness is a prison."
An idea suddenly came to his mind.
He wanted to speak immediately and tell the Imperial Master this idea - because he felt that this might be a trace of Chi Yangzi's residual thoughts, and he wanted to use the "Trapped Dragon Prison" here to convey important information to them.
"big……"
However, the moment Gu Xu spoke the first syllable, a powerful and mysterious force suddenly stopped him, causing his vocal cords to stop vibrating, and he could no longer make any sound.
He even realized that if he ever wanted to tell this secret, this power would completely wipe his soul out of the world in an extremely domineering manner.
In that case, he would no longer need to work hard to become a saint in order to pursue immortality.
He can be laid to rest at the age of eighteen.
So he simply chose to give up.
The world in his vision returned to normal in an instant.
The sky is still clear, the sun is still bright, and the cool breeze rustles the grass and trees on the hillside.
Everything that just happened seemed to be just his hallucination.
"Perhaps...Senior Chiyangzi became obsessed because he saw the terrifying scene of the iron wall covered with iron mesh and burning in flames." Gu Xu took a deep breath and silently guessed in his heart.
The Imperial Master stood beside him, with a concerned expression on his face, and said to him: "Gu Xiaoyou, are you okay?"
The Imperial Master obviously noticed his frightened look just now.
"I'm fine. Thank you, Master Imperial Master, for your concern." Gu Xu smiled and responded.
He didn't dare to show any abnormality now.
I don't know if it was his imagination.
He felt that the mysterious power gave him a very familiar feeling.
It has a very strong coercion, with an arrogant attitude that forces all living beings to surrender, "those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish."
It reminded him of the "Celestial Dragon Domain" that the other party used to display his skills when he and the Fourth Prince Xiao Shangzhen were competing in the "Realm of Discussing Tao".
It also reminded him of the terrifying pressure that seemed to come from the palace building when he entered the Daqi Palace to accept the knighthood, forcing him to prostrate himself in worship.
