Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 258 The Great Wilderness Is a Prison

"Ascension is a scam." The national teacher murmured, repeating Gu Xu's words.

Then he was silent for a moment, and asked his own question: "If Ascension is a scam, then those Ascension Immortals in history, such as the Emperor Taizu, such as the ancestors of the three great clans...where did they all go? Are you talking to Kong Xuan?" When the Sanren confronted each other, did you get any other key information from him?"

It may sound unbelievable that the dignified Grand Master of Qi asked a third-level monk for answers to his questions.

But this is the consistent temperament of the national teacher.

As long as "academic issues" are discussed, whether it is the art of talismans or the avenue of heaven and earth, he will instantly forget his status in the world, and become one with monks of different status and cultivation.

"Kongxuan Sanren mentioned that the thunder calamity of ascension was hundreds of times more terrifying than he imagined, and he felt that it was impossible for monks to survive such a thunder calamity," Gu Xu said, "After that, I once guessed , perhaps the thunder calamity is not a necessary hurdle to ascend to the fairy world, but a means to erase powerful practitioners.

"After all, the place 'Immortal World' only exists in books and word of mouth, but no one can prove that it really exists. Every monk who has experienced thunder disasters, except for Kongxuan Sanren, who relies on "Zhaoming Taboo" Those who live in the world have completely lost contact with the human world... We can't tell whether they have reached the blissful world above the nine heavens, or whether they have lost their souls and lost their bones in the process of crossing the catastrophe..."

"The fairyland must exist." Before Gu Xu finished speaking, the national teacher interrupted him, "The fairyland is the residence of God. God exists, and the fairyland exists."

When he said this, the national teacher's tone was very firm, completely different from his previous amiable attitude.

But after he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed a little agitated, worried that he might scare Gu Xu, so he smiled and added: "Young people dare to make bold assumptions, which is something worthy of praise. But this kind of It’s a matter of principle, so don’t question it lightly.”

"I understand, Master Guoshi." Gu Xu nodded and said.

He realized that in the minds of the local residents of the wilderness, "God" has a supreme status that cannot be desecrated.

The national teacher can let go of his identity and talk freely with him about the "gossip logic circuit diagram".

But when the topic involves "God", his attitude will become extremely stubborn and firm.

Afterwards, the national teacher waved his sleeves, created three sticks of incense out of thin air, lit them with real energy, and inserted them into the incense burner in front of Chiyangzi's grave.

The incense burner is small in size and simple in shape. After being exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, the surface has already had a slight rust.

In the morning sun, green smoke hovers upwards, curling up, with a faint fragrance.

Gu Xu also followed behind the national teacher, bowing to Chiyangzi's grave.

The "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" created by Chiyangzi led him into the world of "Tao", and also helped him escape from death at the edge of the black altar in Yishan... In a sense, Chiyangzi can be regarded as a one of his teachers.

However, at this moment, Gu Xu suddenly frowned slightly.

"My lord, I would like to ask...who chose the address for Senior Chiyangzi's cemetery?"

"He chose it himself before his death." The national teacher turned his head, with a surprised expression, as if he didn't expect Gu Xu to ask such a question, "Master has been depressed in the room since he abolished his cultivation. So one day , my junior brother and I took him out to relax. When we came to this place, he suddenly told us that he would be buried here in the future."

"I feel that the feng shui of this place... seems to be a little bit wrong."

At this time, Gu Xu has discovered that the place where Chiyangzi's cemetery is located is not a treasured feng shui place for burials in the traditional sense.

Because the burial place is originally a yin place, it is easy to cause the gathering of yin and evil spirits, and the birth of ghosts and ghosts, so the people of the wilderness have always attached great importance to the feng shui of the yin house.

There is such a description in the feng shui books he has read: "Mountains come and go, and water returns, and life is rich. Mountains imprison water, and captive kings destroy princes."

People often choose a flat and wide place near mountains and rivers as a cemetery. It is necessary to ensure sufficient sunlight and green plants around.

They believe that such a place can ensure the circulation of breath, the balance of yin and yang, and avoid excessive yin and disasters.

But Chiyangzi's tomb doesn't fit these features at all.

This place is located in the northeast of Luojing City, and it belongs to the position of "Gen" in the gossip, which is also the position of "Ghost Gate". Its terrain is also located between several ridges, surrounded by mountains in all directions, and it is like being imprisoned. shape.

In addition, Gu Xu also learned that Luojing City is known as the "Land of Prosperity of Dragons" - its luck comes from Kunlun and Qinling Mountains, which are called "Dragon Veins", and passes through three mountains and five mountains, forming a gathering of the whole country in Luojing City. The "Tai Chi Treasure Point" of luck.

But due to the terrain, Luojing's strong dragon energy is blocked here, making it difficult to circulate.

If Gu Xu's judgment is not wrong, the feng shui here has formed a "dragon prison situation".

Not a good place for a burial.

Chiyangzi...why would he choose to bury himself in such a place?
"Gu Xiaoyou, although I am not a Fengshui master, I have read some books on Fengshui." At the same time, the national teacher also said slowly, "When the master chose this place, I also felt very Unexpected. But I thought again, Master has always been known for his profound knowledge, he must have a reason for choosing this place.

"We disciples who are ignorant and inexperienced should not question his mind."

Hearing his words, Gu Xu once again deeply felt that although the national teacher showed a thirst for knowledge and was not ashamed to ask his subordinates, he was still an out-and-out man in the wild - he believed in God, respected his teachers, obeyed the imperial power, and his brain There are many deep-rooted concepts in it, and it is rare to question authority.

On the contrary, Chi Yangzi, who created "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", looks like a different kind.

Gu Xu stopped talking.

He stood quietly on the spot, thinking about what kind of thoughts Chiyangzi had in mind when he came to this place during his lifetime.

After Kongxuan Sanren failed in his ascent, 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 Wuwu and eliminated harm for the people to a The evil ghost who did not hesitate to hold a promotion ceremony with the [-] people in Qingzhou Prefecture as sacrifices.

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 of the top of Laoshan with a song "Qing Ping Le", "Be careful when traveling in the sky, don't seek to ascend".

Such a move seems a little too cautious for a cultivator in the ninth realm.

Then Gu Xu thought that in front of the black altar in Yishan, when Kongxuan Sanren forced some memory fragments into his mind, a piece of content was silently erased.

There seems to be a mysterious force that wants to prevent him from knowing those key information.

"Could it be that...Senior Chiyangzi set his cemetery in this 'Dragon Prison', because he wanted to pass some important information to future generations in this way?" Gu Xu's heart suddenly popped up. A bold guess was made.

He took a deep breath, then narrowed his eyes slightly.

This time, he no longer just relied on visual observation to observe the environment here, but relied on his own spiritual sense to capture the flow of breath here.

Seeing his actions like this, the national teacher shook his head slightly, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: "He won't be enlightened by some kind of enlightenment again, right?"

The national teacher was not surprised by this.

After all, ever since Gu Xuyuan Xiaoye suddenly comprehended the spell of "Dongfeng night releases a thousand trees" in the arena, almost the entire Luojing city knew that this young man from Qingzhou Prefecture was extremely talented and possessed terrifying abilities beyond common sense. Comprehension, it is possible to enter the state of epiphany anytime, anywhere.

The national teacher even had some small expectations for the result of his epiphany.

…………

Time passed by minute by minute.

The cold atmosphere from all around gradually intertwined in Gu Xu's field of vision, as if forming a special, gray filter, which made him see a different world.

At this moment, the hillside with sparse vegetation disappeared, and the blue sky disappeared.

Instead, there is a nearly impenetrable gray-black iron net, extending from the high dome to the distant horizon.

The ground is also made of iron nets.

Outside the iron net, there was a blood-red, viscous flame burning ragingly, making it scorchingly hot.

In addition, there are iron snakes and iron dogs, breathing flames, patrolling the prison walls.

Standing in this iron wall and iron net, Gu Xu felt like a fish in a pot, being roasted at high temperature.

Inexplicably, a sentence came to his mind: "Zhouza is covered with iron walls and iron nets, and the ground is also iron. The upper fire penetrates the lower, and the lower fire penetrates the upper."

He thought he had seen this description in a book somewhere.

But at this moment, even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out which book or author this passage came from.

Then he glanced at the national teacher beside him.

He found that there was a pair of metal shackles on the feet of the national teacher at some point - this is not ordinary metal, but a red-hot iron, which scorched his flesh and blood, and made the dark red blood flow out, dripping all over the place.

But the national teacher still looked calm, unaware of this.

Gu Xu looked down at himself again.

Fortunately, he didn't have shackles on his body, nor did he have any wounds.

Instead, there was a thin layer of silver-white halo that wrapped his whole body, forming a protective barrier.In this silver-white light, it seems that the phantoms of many stars can be faintly glimpsed.

However, those dark red flames emerging from the ground have been trying to break through his barrier made of starlight, like countless hungry beasts, seeing him as a tempting meal, wanting to open his eyes. He opened his bloody mouth and devoured her. .

Seeing such a scene, Gu Xu couldn't help shivering even though he possessed a psychological quality far beyond ordinary people.

"The Great Wilderness is a prison."

A thought like this suddenly popped up in his mind.

He wanted to open his mouth immediately and tell the national teacher this idea—because he felt that this might be a trace of Chi Yangzi's remnant thoughts, and he wanted to use the "dragon prison situation" here to convey an important message to them.

"Big……"

However, the moment Gu Xu uttered 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 noticed that if he wanted to tell this secret again, this force would completely erase his soul from this world in an extremely domineering manner.

In that case, he would no longer need to strive to become a saint before the age of 30 in order to pursue longevity.

He can rest in peace.

So he simply chose to give up.

The world in his vision also returned to normal at this moment.

The sky is still clear, the sun is still shining, and the cool wind is blowing the grass and trees on the hillside rustling.

Everything that happened just now seemed to be just his hallucination.

"Perhaps...Senior Chiyangzi became obsessed because he saw the terrible scene of the iron wall covered with iron nets and the fire burning." Gu Xu took a deep breath and silently guessed in his heart.

The national teacher stood beside him, with a concerned expression on his face, and said to him: "Gu Xiaoyou, are you okay?"

The national teacher obviously noticed his frightened expression just now.

"I'm fine, thank you Master Guoshi for your concern." Gu Xu responded with a smile.

He didn't dare to show the slightest difference now.

I don't know if it was his illusion.

He felt that the mysterious power gave him a very familiar feeling.

It has a very strong coercion, with an arrogant attitude of forcing all living beings to submit, "those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish".

It reminded Gu Xu of the "Tianlong Realm" that slows people's movements when he and the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen competed in the "Land of Discussion of Dao", the other party relied on the skills passed down from generation to generation of the Daqi royal family.

It also reminded him of the terrible coercion that seemed to have the gravity of gravity that forced him to prostrate and worship from the caisson and pillars of the Guangzheng Palace when he entered the Daqi Palace to accept the title of title.

"Could it be that this power is connected with the Daqi royal family...or with Emperor Tianxing?"

Thinking of the phrase "Be careful when walking in the sky" hidden in Kongxuan Sanren's hidden words, Gu Xu once again had a bold guess in his mind.

Of course, under the circumstances at this time, he dared not share these thoughts with anyone.

Before he has enough strength, he can only temporarily bury this secret deep in his heart.
