After returning to the hotel and washing up again, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening.
At this time, Fang Wenxin teased Zhan Yitian again through the hotel's intercom phone. Xiang Hui also chatted with Zhou Zichen for a few words, and then everyone rested happily.
Although this day was short, it progressed very quickly for these young people who had just met.
Especially the slight estrangement between Zhan Yitian and Xiang Hui gradually faded away in the joy and laughter between each other. Now they get along more like a pair of brothers.
Before returning to the room, several people had already agreed to go to Wukuaishi Long-distance Bus Terminal at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and take a long-distance bus from there to Lhasa.
After making such a plan, Xiang Hui, who was tired from playing, quickly lay on the bed and fell asleep!
For Xiang Hui, today is destined to be a happy day, and for a period of time in the future, it will also be happy and full of happiness and hope.
Watching Xiang Hui fall into a deep sleep, Zhan Yitian also felt a sense of relief in his heart. He also recalled that in junior high school, he refused Xiang Hui's request again and again and did not join the track and field team, which made him have too much confusion and confusion about himself. Misunderstand.
And now looking at Xiang Hui who was still murmuring Zhou Zichen's name in his sleep, Zhan Yitian smiled and decided that he would try his best to help him complete the purpose of his trip.
"It's almost time!"
After Zhan Yitian thought to himself, he quietly exited the room. After leaving the hotel, he immediately disappeared into the night and hurried towards Qingyang Palace, which was several kilometers away.
A distance of several kilometers was easily covered in less than ten minutes by Zhan Yitian's magic power.
In a secluded place outside the walls of Qingyang Palace, a dark figure was standing quietly in an even darker place. This dark figure was none other than Zhan Yitian.
At this time, Zhan Yitian had already sent out his spiritual thoughts, and began to quietly scan the wall. When he found that there was no one on the other side of the wall, he kicked one foot on the wall, and with just a neat flip, his body was quietly lifted. Silently, he jumped over the three-meter-high wall and landed lightly in Qingyang Palace.
Qingyang Palace was quiet at this time, which was in great contrast to the bustle and bustle during the day. If Qingyang Palace is a tourist attraction during the day, then at night it is more like a Taoist holy land with a unique cave in the city.
Zhan Yitian dispersed his spiritual thoughts and quickly moved towards the birth platform in the three terraces of the back garden. Now Zhan Yitian has been thinking about the mysterious thing in the crack in the ground.
"Maybe there really is some treasure hidden in that jade box, otherwise there wouldn't be such pure spiritual energy appearing there!"
Zhan Tiantian thought to himself, and couldn't help but speed up his steps a little more.
While sneaking, Zhan Tiantian skillfully avoided several Taoist priests who were meditating in the dark. However, Zhan Tiantian did not feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy from these Taoist priests. Obviously, these Taoist priests were no different from ordinary people. He does not have the physical constitution to cultivate, he just yearns to cultivate the Tao.
"The road is ruthless. I hope these people without the Five Elements Spiritual Body can find a road that suits them through their own obsessions!"
Zhan Tiantian sighed a little in his heart, but he did not stop and quickly walked around the Bagua Pavilion and arrived in front of the Sanqing Hall.
But at this moment, Zhan Yitian, who had already dispersed his spiritual thoughts, unexpectedly heard a conversation coming from a nearby house.
"Uncle Master, today's incense income is nearly 10% more than usual. It's not yet the peak season and the income is so good. It seems that this year will be very good!" The speaker was a young Taoist priest with a short stature. At this time, he was smiling happily while holding a stack of hundred-dollar bills.
"Su Qian, are you the one who made the sound of the Netherworld Bell today?" an old Taoist priest, about 50 years old, asked slowly, twirling his beard.
"No, I thought it was Xiao Qingzi who did it!" The short Taoist priest named Su Qian replied in surprise.
"Oh! That's strange. Xiao Qingzi was not in the palace at that time. Could it be that it really manifested itself?... But it is impossible for those people with mediocre lives to activate the mysterious power of the Netherworld Bell! This The last time the Netherworld Bell chimed for no reason was hundreds of years ago as recorded in the classics, which is strange..."
After hearing Su Qian's answer, the old Taoist priest became confused for a moment.
When Zhan Yitian heard this, he stopped for a moment, and out of curiosity, he hid behind a stone pillar and quietly listened to the conversation in the room.
"What? Did this clock really ring to itself? How was it recorded in the classics at that time?" Su Qian was shocked when he heard this, but asked with some disbelief.
The old Taoist priest stood with his hands behind his back and looked out the window with twinkling eyes. After being silent for a while, he spoke quietly again: "About 400 hundred years ago, during the Zhengde period of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was extravagant and extravagant. He built a "leopard room" in the palace to keep animals healthy. Wild beasts and maidservants, humans and beasts slept together and had sex together, which angered the heavenly beast Sable. One day, the Netherworld Bell in my Taoist temple suddenly chimed for no reason, which shocked the whole place. A few days later, the sky suddenly Wind and thunder surged, lightning flashed frequently, and the phantom of the sable spirit beast actually appeared in the sky. On that day, the emperor was found drowned in the pool in the palace. It was rumored that the emperor was killed by the sable spirit. The punishment in the lower realm of beasts is death!”
"Ah! There is such a thing. Could it be that this Netherworld Bell in my palace has the power to predict heaven's secrets? Is there really an immortal in the sky?" Su Qian was so surprised after listening to the old Taoist priest's story. Mouth.
When the old Taoist priest heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "This happened more than 400 years ago. Since then, the bell has never rang. As for any other news about the immortal world, there is even less news. There is only a rumor. It is said that all the people in the immortal world have left my mortal world, and even the Qionglou and Jade Yuyu have been taken away with them. The sacred mountain Kunlun back then was already an empty mountain of ice and snow, with only a few remnants of the immortal world left, so Nowadays, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, there is no way to learn Taoism and no way to enter immortality!"
As soon as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he turned around and pushed the door open with a sigh, leaving Su Qian standing there with a confused look on his face, holding the banknotes in his hand.
At this moment, Zhan Yitian stood stunned in the darkness. Thinking about the last few words said by the old Taoist, his heart became uncertain. You must know that Zhan Yitian's ultimate purpose of traveling this time is to go to Kunlun to find romance. But now, listening to what the old Taoist said, it seems that the Kunlun Mountain has no much value left.
But then Zhan Yitian shook his head in self-mockery, because the old Taoist just now was just an ordinary person, almost the same as his master.
How can the harsh environment of Kunlun Mountain be a place where ordinary people can explore and survive? Besides, I have to go there no matter what, so why should I lose confidence now because of a few words from an experienced expert?
Thinking of this, Zhan Tiantian moved his feet and quickly sneaked towards the birth platform.
After a while, Zhan Yitian stood on the birth stage again. At this moment, there was a lot of noise around the birth platform. It turned out to be the chirping of countless insects coming from the nearby grass or cracks in the ground. If you listen to it for a long time, your ears will really suffer.
But this better served as a cover-up for Zhan Yitian's actions, and there was another layer of clouds in the sky blocking the moonlight. As a result, it was basically pitch black tens of meters away, and ordinary people couldn't see it at all. Clear anything.
Zhan Yitian released his spiritual thoughts and scanned the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, he immediately concentrated his spiritual thoughts on the cracks in the ground under the stone platform.
I saw that the small cracks made during the day were still clearly visible, and there was still a trace of spiritual energy inside. And continuing to explore through the small gap, at a depth of 6 meters from the surface, an emerald green jade box was placed in it.
The jade box is only about the size of a matchbox, and the exquisite patterns engraved on its surface make it particularly mysterious. However, when Zhan Tiantian concentrated his spiritual thoughts to probe into the box, his spiritual thoughts were easily flicked away as if encountering a hard object, unable to get in at all!
"This jade box can actually isolate spiritual thoughts! Alas, it seems that we have to go down and get the jade box with our own hands!"
Zhan Tiantian was shocked, but then he sighed and took out a piece of light yellow talisman paper from his pocket.
This talisman paper is different from the holding talisman paper that Zhan used one day ago. This one is thicker and has a smoother surface. There are also thin green lines covering the entire talisman paper.
These light green veins are actually a combination of runes and characters carefully drawn with patina. The talisman is composed of pictographic earth and wood characters, but both the talisman patterns and the talisman characters are all in one cluster, without any sense of delay. Even ordinary people will feel shocked after reading it.
This talisman is one of the few earth-escape talismans that Zhan Yitian spent a lot of effort to draw!
Although this is only a low-level spiritual talisman, the spiritual power required to activate it can only be used after reaching the Qi Condensation stage. Therefore, this spiritual talisman is both precious and valuable to Zhan Yitian at this moment. He seemed happy.
After taking a deep breath, Zhan Tiantian took out a mouthful of pure spiritual energy from his dantian, and slowly poured it into the talisman along his right arm, which turned into spiritual energy.
I saw that the talisman seal gradually flashed with a light yellow aura at first, and then the runes and characters on it gradually revealed streaks of mysterious green in the light yellow aura. And when the spiritual power was completely injected into the talisman paper, two spiritual lights, one yellow and one green, suddenly formed a halo that completely enveloped Zhan Tiantian.
When Zhan Yitian saw this, he immediately put the talisman paper on the side of his right leg, then stamped his feet, and his whole body slowly and strangely submerged into the earth.
