Chapter 332 Netherland
As for how to achieve the vitality of mind and spirit, and make an ape into a spring, the "Song of Secret Teaching" gives three methods.

First, the monk examines all the desires and distractions in his heart, cultivates the most ardent one among them, and turns it into his own mental ape.The so-called mental ape's shape varies from person to person, and it may not necessarily be the shape of an ape.

Later, with the help of the catastrophe of transformation in the third level of divine transformation practice, the mental ape can be refined into its own mind and manifested in the divine form. Then the desires and distractions represented by the mental ape will not only not be harmful, but can also be like the monkey king. , to help monks subdue and control other desires.

Although this method is a bit tricky, it is the easiest to implement. However, the monk's appearance will inevitably change, such as hair growth or an extra tail. Even his personality will inevitably change, which is unavoidable for aspiring Taoist cultivators. Pick.

Secondly, during the nine turns of the Tao Seed in the third realm, the monks are tempered by the thunder and calamity wind outside the spiritual platform, and engrave the thunder calamity wind as their natal magical power. Be submissive and do not dare to make mistakes.

This method is the most majestic and has no consequences, but it also tests the monk's mental courage and intellectual talent. At the same time, it also has requirements for the skills he practices. It cannot be practiced by those who have great courage, great wisdom, and great opportunity.

Thirdly, after the monks forged the elixir cauldron in the fourth realm and ignited the Dao fire, they jumped directly into the cauldron to burn themselves and refine the Tao seeds into the golden elixir. Pure yang would naturally emerge, without any yin inside, and all evils would be eliminated from the outside. .

There is nothing much to say about this method. No one can reach that point. It is no problem to concoct a mental monkey.

Qi Jingzhi secretly smacked his tongue when he saw it. He didn't expect that these two short sentences, "Tiger roars and apes roar, water is clear and river is calm", actually spans the two major realms of cultivation, the third realm and the fourth realm.

At the same time, he finally understood that what he wanted to do now was not to suppress the mental ape, but to indulge, feed, and cultivate it. When he reached his realm in the future and the mental ape had become a climate, he would suppress and turn it into a resource in one fell swoop. grain.

"Huh? It sounds a bit like killing pigs for the New Year... In this case, wouldn't the Tao Seed Great Monk in the third realm and the Tao Fire Great Master in the fourth realm become pig farmers and killers? The butcher of a pig?”

While he was thinking about it, Huang Xiaoer had already summoned all the five black-armored corpses. However, the mountains and plains had become a playground for the Blood Flame Heart Apes. Who dared to act rashly, they could only look at them helplessly. Young people, especially the red wedding dress in their hands.

The corners of Qi Jingzhi's mouth turned up, and he immediately took the deceased's clothes and corpse back into the Xuanjian of Heaven and Earth.

He clapped his two empty palms, turned around and faced the direction of the mountain, his eyes ignited with blazing fire, and he had already activated his heart with all his strength.

As the young man reached out and grabbed it from a distance, the Blood Flame Heart Apes located in that direction moved from near to far, and their bodies all had Dinghuo Dinghuo precipitating, converging towards his palm, leaving only the shapeless blood energy of injustice. , slowly dissipating in the air.

Without these Bloody Flame Heart Apes setting fires everywhere, the flames in the direction of the mountain were greatly reduced, and they no longer regained their previous terrifying momentum.

At this time, it can be seen that there is also a small amount of corpse energy remaining in the trees and grass that have been ignited, which further suppresses the fire. In terms of dealing with corpse energy, the power of yin fire like Heart Candle Dinghuo is indeed Not as good as Yang Huo like Ruomu Chihuo.

Huang Xiaoer's expression relaxed when he saw this, and he quickly confessed to the young man, and used the "shadow walking" method to pull the five corpses straight away from the mountain with his own yang energy.

When they were far away, Qi Jingzhi withdrew his gaze and spent a lot of time running around the mountain forest to clean up all the remaining Blood Flame Heart Apes.

As an ownerless thing, more than half of the dispersed wild dog blood feather evil energy was bought cheaply from the Yin evil wind mother candlestick, which not only made up for the consumption in recent days, but also made a huge profit.

In fact, if Qi Jingzhi does nothing, when the blood feathers of the wild dogs used as firewood are burned out, the Blood Flame Heart Apes will also annihilate themselves, but the time will become difficult to control.

Qi Jingzhi was not willing to wait here, nor did he want to cause any unpredictable changes due to the wanton spread of the fire, nor did he have the arrogant idea of ​​completely plowing through the mountains, rivers and vegetation north of the Forbidden Water by himself.

Although he accepted Shouguang Houyang Shengqing's suggestion, or it could be said that he was bewitched, and led his army to cross the river first, he did not intend to fight alone with his two thousand cavalry.

So, Qi Jingzhi stood on the scorched earth in the mountains where the fire was not extinguished and the smoke was lingering, and he turned over his hands and took out a road evil corpse.

The dark stone monument fell on the dark, bare scorched earth. A pale paper lantern hung on the top of the monument, and a black stone dog squatted in front of the monument.

"Road evil corpse, the worry of getting lost, the pain of crossing the road, wandering in the way, guiding others, mixed good and evil, different paths of life and death, cold in nature, pungent, non-toxic, blinding eyes, blocking evil spirits, clearing the nether world, determining direction, passing on information."

Originally, according to the discussion between Qi Jingzhi and Master Meng when they were in the royal capital, the Lusha corpse should be placed in the Forbidden Water Pass. However, after seeing the dangerous situation in the north of the Forbidden Water with his own eyes, the young man changed his mind and felt that defeat should be considered first. In order to win, it would be better to hide this intersection of the Netherworld Soldier Path more secretly.

This place suffered such a special fire. Both the scorched earth scene and the remaining aura were terrifying. No wild beasts or aliens should be willing to approach it in a short period of time.

There is no need to worry when the ghost generals and Yin soldiers prepared by the Emperor's Yamen in the capital city to open up the Forbidden North Hades arrive.

Qi Jingzhi stood in front of Lu Sha's corpse and saw that there was only an arrow pointing north on the black stone tablet marking a place name - Xiuling Wuchang Valley.

South of the capital of the Da Qi Dynasty and in the East and West Xiuling Mountains, there are many inaccessible Qingxi Valley. This so-called Impermanence Valley was the place chosen by the Huang Yamen of the capital city to erect monuments and station troops.

Qi Jingzhi thought for a moment, stretched out his left hand and touched the center of the cross arrow on the stone tablet. Five large characters with iron paintings and silver hooks immediately appeared there - Forbidden Water and Blood Corpse Ridge.

With the Mysterious Mirror of Heaven and Earth here, such a trivial matter as carving words on Lu Sha's body could be accomplished with just a thought.

At this point, the connection between the two Lusha corpses has been successfully established. They can aim at each other and send messages. However, if they want to build a passable Nether Soldier Road, they still need one thing.

Qi Jingzhi opened the Tiger King's jade box and took out a piece of yellow mounting paper three feet long and two feet wide.

This piece of yellow paper is bordered by cloud patterns and densely written with black text. It exudes the unique aroma of pine smoke ink, a specialty of Songling County.

"Hey, Master Meng's gifts have all been sent to the Emperor's Yamen in the capital city."

Qi Jingzhi glanced at it and saw that the black words on the yellow paper were nothing more than "The pass is clear, let's see this", and there were also three large square seals of "Da Qi Yin Si", "Du Cheng Huang" and "Wei Ling Jun" .

This thing is the so-called "Guide to the Underworld" issued by Chenghuang Yamen in the capital of Daqi. It was originally supposed to be specially given to a specific dead soul so that it would not be blocked or even made things difficult by ghosts and gods along the way when it entered the underworld and entered reincarnation. Now, now But it was used to open up the Netherworld Military Path together with Lu Shazhi.

Qi Jingzhi looked at it briefly and then pressed the "Guide to the Road to the Underworld" on the stele of Lu Sha's corpse in front of him.

As soon as the yellow paper came into contact with the stone tablet, it spontaneously ignited without fire, and fine black ashes fell on the scorched earth below, blending into the dark ground.

Qi Jingzhi waited quietly for a moment, and saw that Lu Sha's corpse did not move. Even when he looked through the ding of the heart candle, there was only a hazy black or white light, and the so-called Netherworld Arms was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but take out the Yinsha Fengmu candlestick again.

"Burn!" The silver evil blood flames immediately bloomed with a cold brilliance, with the young man as the center, dyeing the stone tablet, lantern, stone dog and a small piece of scorched earth around them with a layer of blood.

The next moment, the originally motionless black stone tablet suddenly expanded, rapidly expanding upward and to both sides.

Qi Jingzhi's eyelids twitched, and he quickly flew back. In the blink of an eye, he was already standing three feet away.

When he looked up again, he saw a tall and heavy stone gate suddenly appearing where the stone tablet had been. It was three feet high and two feet wide, almost as big as a city gate.

This stone door has two doors opening opposite each other, but the doors are closed tightly at the moment, and the narrow crack in the door is pitch black.

There was no plaque on the door, only a huge white paper lantern hung, which was also emitting a blood-red halo at the moment, complementing the candlelight in the young man's hand.

This stone gate stands alone in the mountains and on the scorched earth. If Qi Jingzhi is willing, he can go around to the back of the stone gate. In short, it looks extremely strange.

Just as the boy was looking curiously, a whimpering bark sounded, and the black stone dog that was squatting in front of the stone slowly stood up and turned into a black kobold wearing a soap coat and a high hat.

There were four big white characters written on the top hat: "Peace in the world!"

The kobold's eyes were dull, his limbs were stiff, and he was spitting out a long bright red tongue. There was a gloomy cold air all over his body, and he walked slowly to Qi Jingzhi.

It leaned down, sniffed the hand that the young man had just used to hold the "Guide to the Underworld", and then turned around and walked towards the stone door without saying a word.

As the kobold approached, the extremely heavy-looking stone door slowly opened inward, revealing the dim skylight inside.

This was not the first time that Qi Jingzhi saw this kind of stone gate that separated two worlds and the dangerous alien scene. Not to mention the illusion of demons in the Wuji Wilderness, the dim yellow color flowing from the stone gate in front of him was It frightened him and reminded him of the underworld he had seen in Baiyun Palace in Jiuzhen County.

At that time, he just glanced at it, and he was immediately contaminated by the aura of Huangquan, and suffered a terrible erosion that was far worse than the disaster of the gods.

Fortunately, he used the "Secret Technique of Qiu Chu Cheng Yun" in desperation, and managed to pull out the breath and blend it into the hazy feathers. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured.Later, when the master refined the crane's wings, he completely removed them.

It's just that things are different now. Compared to the time when he was completely unprepared and in a hurry, Qi Jingzhi's reaction this time was extremely fast.

He turned his head and looked away, no longer looking directly at the scene inside the stone door. At the same time, the red candlelight in his eyes suddenly became several times stronger, almost overflowing his eyes.

The soul mask and the bright light armor instantly covered the young man's body, and the telepathic sword also jumped into his right palm, and the blade was covered with a layer of five-color wisdom.

After completing these protections, Qi Jingzhi began to carefully examine himself to find out what was wrong.

"Well, there are no signs of the aura of the underworld on my body. There are no ghostly scenes of turbulent waves and living beings rising and falling in my eyes. There are no noisy sounds of birds and beasts chirping or men and women crying in my ears. On the spiritual platform, the two are safe and sound. The silly birds are having a lot of fun on their own..."

Realizing that it was just a false alarm that he had frightened himself, Qi Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shimen again.

During this process, the black kobold was always like a sculpture, standing quietly by the door.

Although this guy can bark, smell, move and walk, his whole body is extremely cold and lifeless. He is more like a dead thing than Huang Xiaoer.

Qi Jingzhi stepped forward slowly, his eyes swept over the kobold's high hat, and he couldn't help but secretly thought: "The words "peace in the world" are quite suitable for the situation. It's no wonder that the other end of this Netherworld Soldier Road is called the Valley of Impermanence. Maybe it is governed by the legendary Master Fan..."

After a while, the young man stopped outside the stone door and looked inside curiously.

The world inside the door seems to be in the middle of winter, with the sky overcast, the wind blowing, the yellow sand blurry, and the sun and moon missing.

Qi Jingzhi has never seen what the Netherworld Mansion looks like with ghosts and gods presiding over it, so he has no way to compare it at this time. He just feels that the scene inside the door is too empty and desolate. In addition, he is looking through the door, and he always feels like he is surrounded by something. Blocked, unable to really see clearly.

So, the young man turned his head and glanced at the kobold. Seeing that the guy was still motionless, he stretched out his hand to grab the door frame, and then stuck his head into the stone door.

The next moment, the scenery in front of Qi Jingzhi suddenly became clear.

It turns out that this side of the stone gate was placed on a black mountain peak with no vegetation, and the surrounding scorched and smoking earth and rocks seemed to be stained with crimson blood.

"Hey, I named this place Blood Corpse Ridge, which is a mistake. Since the scenery in the underworld corresponds to the human world..."

Qi Jingzhi's heart moved. He compared the direction of the human world and turned his head to look in the direction of the forbidden water.

His sight passed through the wind and sand in the sky, and he vaguely saw a giant white insect that meandered for unknown miles. It had a pointed head and a slender body that looked like a fish and a snake. It had peaks like mountain peaks on its head. , the white hard shell on the body surface is glowing with sparkling waves.

These waves of light rippled out unbridled, turning into pairs of huge transparent wings.

After a brief look, Qi Jingzhi's eyes suddenly condensed: "The God of Sushuang?"

On the back of the giant white insect, a giant ghost with red eyes, a long tongue, and a whole body of frost blue stood out. It was grabbing one of the wings of the giant insect and tearing it apart.

What’s interesting is that although the big frost-blue ghost named the God of Frost is also burly and as strong as a small hill, it is a little less impressive than the giant white insect. Even its actions of tearing its wings are... Failed to attract the other party's attention.

"I don't know whether it is because they are really so different from each other that the white giant worm didn't notice it at all, or whether the forbidden water wildness represented by the white giant worm was weak and unable to resist, or maybe Shouguang Houyang Shengqing acted cautiously and took The strategy of cutting with the sun and cutting with the moon, slowly encroaching..."

Just when the boy started to think blindly again, the big frost blue ghost seemed to be aware of it. Two thick bloody lights appeared in his eyes and swept towards the Blood Corpse Ridge.
