Longevity begins with Orion

Chapter 319 317. The ancient palace is close to the mountains and seas, and fruit flowers can bloom on the other side of the road (please subscribe)

On the bank of Huangquan Road, the bright red flowers of the past are blooming in full bloom.

The petals are swaying and stretching to the horizon.

The ghosts lined up in a long queue with no end in sight, their faces were dull, their pupils were out of focus, and they were walking away with their heads lowered. Judging from the number, there were many more ghosts than before.

Now that many years have passed, the underworld has completely enveloped the ancestral land, and all the dead in the ancestral land will no longer go to the world of reincarnation, but will only come here.

Therefore, it is overcrowded.

These ghosts will go to the Evil Mirror Hall, and then they will be divided into good souls and evil souls based on the good and evil in front of them. The good souls will return to the human world, and the evil souls will enter the animal world and the wooden road. This is the simplest and only reward and punishment system in the underworld. .

The Hall of Evil Mirror is also very different from when Li Yuan first saw it hundreds of years ago. Not only has it expanded hundreds of times, but the original evil mirror high in the sky has also split into hundreds of faces.

At this moment, Ji Hu was carefully looking at the various memories of countless ghosts in front of a mirror. The gray mist filled his body, and the ugly face displayed was full of majesty and justice, while there were many evil ghosts around him ready to move. .

Whenever someone does evil, the killing patterns of these evil spirits will be triggered, and then the evil spirits will drag them away and impose punishments. When the punishments are imposed, these evil spirits will wake up briefly and then suffer great pain.

Ji Hu is trying to distinguish whether those evil spirits are really evil. If he judges that they are not evil, he will prevent the evil spirits from taking away the target.

Just an extremely tiring job.

The evil spirits here would be terrifying taboos if released into the world. Although they have not reached the peak of the second level, they are still above the third level. They can naturally execute many evil spirits at the same time.

But Ji Hu is just an ordinary ghost. If he really looks at them one by one, the efficiency will be extremely low, and the hundreds of evil mirrors cannot be used efficiently.

However, now that the judge system is complete, there are already nearly a thousand judges on duty in front of the Nie Jing Palace.

Nearly a thousand people, all of whom had meritorious deeds in the human world, were selected by Earth Mother Yuanjun and served as judges in the underworld, including Li Dao, the son of Li Yuan who died before.

Earth Mother Yuanjun was not stingy with Ji Hu, a person with great merit, and directly awarded her a skill created by her - Earth Book.

As the incarnation of the underworld, Earth Mother Yuanjun has devoured all the stars in the sky, so he is able to compile such a set of training methods suitable for ghosts. This method also belongs to the "earth soul training method", but it is more advanced.

Li Yuan watched other people's lives on the evil mirror platform for a while, and suddenly felt that his mentality was a little old.

The most beautiful thing about life is that you look forward to tomorrow nervously and anxiously, because you don't know what will happen tomorrow. You are moved by every joy, anger, sorrow, and joy of your own, and you also think about living forever, falling in love and never being separated.

But if these precious things are experienced repeatedly, if the many possibilities transformed by these unknown tomorrows are viewed one by one, then life will seem to have lost its meaning and become boring.

Li Yuan put away his eyes, turned around and returned to the world again.

Li Yuan has not wasted these nearly one hundred years.

While reviewing the past practice, some new second-grade skills were secretly taking shape.

And now, what he has to do is to add these second-grade skills to Dzogchen.

Deep in Changliu Mountain.

Waves of terrifying momentum rose up.

Changes in the world followed.

The sky turned purple, the clouds were also purple, the thunder was rolling, and the yin energy was surging. For a time, the entire Changliu Mountain was filled with spiritual energy.

The Changliu disciples on the front mountain looked at the back mountain in shock and joy. The men and women were chattering, talking about "what happened to the ancestor", and then continued to practice under the scolding of the teacher.

This momentum lasted for half a month before Li Yuan completed it.

Of course, this aura is not deliberately released by him, but even if he tries his best to restrain himself, he will inadvertently release "a drop in the bucket of aura", and to ordinary practitioners, this aura is as powerful as a giant dragon. God, the ocean is deep and vast.

As for the spiritual energy, it was because when he was ascending, the extremely rich yin and yang energy of his body accidentally escaped.

But this was not Li Yuan’s original intention.

Of course, he can use his own power to greatly improve the disciples on a mountaintop and make them stronger, but as he and Sister Yan said at the beginning: a saint should sit high in the sky, and when a saint helps a small group of people, then It is an injustice to the majority of the remaining people, and this behavior will ultimately bring disaster.

After this wave of improvement, Li Yuan's strength has steadily taken a big step forward.

If the peak of the second level is also divided into three, six or nine levels, he is already the highest level.

Immediately, Li Yuan walked out of the mountain gate, summoned the headmaster and elders of Changliu Mountain, and then gave some benefits to each, especially the "Master of Lu Bu", who stayed here specially, gave him some instructions, and solved the problem for him. Many problems in cultivation were gone.

After leaving, Li Yuan turned his attention to the ancestral land at this moment.

At this time, in this vast land, there was no problem where the common people lived, but some terrifying and indescribable monsters began to appear on the edge of the land.

Among those monsters, there are many such as nine-headed birds, two-headed snakes, bird-finned fish-body monsters, one-legged cows, and nine-headed tigers with human faces.

There are even some people, but these people are extremely weird, such as those with holes in their chests, and those with three heads and three bodies.

In short, it’s just a matter of strangeness.

However, these terrifying monsters seem to be subject to some kind of restraint, so they will not invade human territory, but will only stay in places such as the East China Sea and deep mountains.

At the same time, these monster beasts seem to be unable to reproduce. Many of them are unique, and there is no distinction between male and female.

There was no shortage of people in the Tang Dynasty who loved to travel and explore the world.

Some of these people are "lucky" and will encounter these monsters in deserted mountains and seas.

Monsters eat people.

Whenever you encounter these people, you will basically be hunted down.

But they can often escape.

After escaping, these people recorded their experiences and attributed their escape to the "mountain god" and "sea god".

As there were more descriptions, people found some similar descriptions in the records of "mountains and seas" and "Poseidon".

For example, "grey robe", "quinoa staff and silver bell", "woman's scolding voice" and so on.

As a result, the dangers of these marginal mountains and seas not only did not deter people, but actually stimulated many people who are naturally fond of adventure to go there.

This

"It's so hard, Sister Yan."

Li Yuan had an old gourd hanging on his waist and was squeezing the shoulders of a girl in gray robe.

A quinoa staff was inserted into the soil next to it that exuded the rotten smell of roots, with a small silver bell hanging on the head of the staff.

The girl was barefoot, and the hood of her gray robe was dropped, revealing a beautiful face.

This is Madam Yan who has been reincarnated for nearly a hundred years.

Thinking back to the beginning, the remnant soul of Beidou and the Yingzhao demon could survive by devouring life essence, let alone Lady Yan?

Although if the time is long enough, this ray of soul will still perish, but to ordinary practitioners, this girl is already an immortal immortal.

"left."

The girl in gray robe snorted.

Li Yuan moved his palm to the left and continued to press and knead gently.

To be honest, the reincarnation place of Sister Yan’s soul is quite interesting.

The monsters that appear in this land of mountains and seas are naturally the masterpieces of Yan Yu.

And the mountain god and sea god in those descriptions are naturally Yan Yu.

Yan Yu's divided soul is so busy that she is almost bald. She not only has to transform the lives of those reincarnated evil souls, but also restrain these lives. At the same time, she also has to work hard to save ordinary people who accidentally intrude into the land of these mountain and sea monsters.

She is different from Dragon Vein. Back then, Dragon Vein was set up on the mainland in the middle of this ancestral land, so it allowed its ghost servants to come and go as they pleased.

But Yan Yu is not in her ancestral land. She can travel around in the human world with the help of her magical powers and evil ghost props.

"It can't be done, it can't be done."

The reincarnated soul of Yan Yu sighed.

Obviously, this grown-up Sister Yan has gained a lot of real popularity.

Yan Yufenhun pressed his hands on both sides of the big stone under his buttocks and said angrily: "Those people are really serious. I drove them away. Instead of spreading the danger here, they let more people come over." .

Now those people are not only running into the mountains and forests here, but there are also people who are going to the sea, and there are also people who are heading to the wilderness with their convoys.

I just don’t understand. Do they really want to die? "

It was rare for Li Yuan to see such a "young" Sister Yan, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Yan."

Yan Yu's split soul doesn't regard her husband as an outsider at all. In other words, she shares a consciousness with her main body. However, this split soul fell into the human world and after reincarnation, she has more independent consciousness that has not yet returned to her main body.

This sense of independence makes her very human.

Yan Yu's soul sat on the big stone, shook his legs angrily, then turned sideways, raised his hand and poked Li Yuan's arm, and said: "When will you go talk to the main body and say that you want to send more cents?" Hun come and help me, or let me go back quickly.”

Li Yuan smiled.

He wouldn't take it seriously either.

Yan Yu's split soul was just complaining.

If she really wants her true body to know, all she needs is a thought.

It is precisely because of their shared consciousness that Li Yuan also calls her Sister Yan.

At this time, he thought for a moment and said: "Sister Yan, why don't you arrange some people who are well-behaved, obedient and strong."

He glanced at the "indescribable" monster from "The Book of Mountains and Seas" not far away, and said: "Bring a new life to be a real mountain god and sea god."

Yan Yu said angrily: "I was secretly conducting experiments on the edge, but then the entire ancestral land knew about it.

When the time comes, those cultivators will definitely come to the land bordering the mountains and seas to kill these experimental subjects of mine, and then say they are slaying demons and defending the Tao.

It pisses me off so much, I make me so angry just thinking about it!

People worked hard and struggled for hundreds of years to achieve this result. Just because those adventurers were let go, more and more rumors were leaked. "

As she spoke, she raised her leg again.

Li Yuan naturally sat to one side, asked her to put her legs over, and then raised his hand to beat her legs.

Looking at the "innocent version of Earth Mother Yuanjun", Li Yuan only felt interesting in his heart. He thought about the problems faced by Sister Yan, and suddenly took out a hand and patted the gourd on his waist and said, "How about giving this a try?"

"What is that?"

Sister Yan leaned over and flicked the old gourd with her fingers, but she was startled by this flick.

There is no sound at all.

It's like playing with a piece of heaven and earth, playing with a vast ocean.

If you want to make a sound by knocking, you probably won't have to use your full strength at the peak of the second level.

Li Yuandao: "It contains a world hundreds of miles in radius."

"My dear husband, you are so powerful." Sister Yan showed admiration in her soul.

Li Yuan laughed.

This is obviously Sister Yan herself, but she shows different personalities due to the different memories of the split soul.

Immediately afterwards, Sister Yan separated her soul and tried to grab the gourd, but she couldn't pull it at all. The feeling of pulling the gourd was like a mortal trying to pull up a mountain, and it felt extremely heavy.

Li Yuan hurriedly relaxed his thoughts.

Sister Yan pulled the gourd with her soul, but she fell forward because of excessive force.

Li Yuan was afraid that she would fall, so he grabbed her waist.

Sister Yan's separated soul raised her finger and poked him between the eyebrows, pushed him away, and said at the same time: "My dear husband, you can't do it, we can't do it."

"No!" After she pushed Li Yuan away, she made an "X" with her hand.

Li Yuan:.

Sister Yan pulled away from me, put her hands on her hips and said, "Humph, be careful I let the main body know that the main body queen will not allow you to get along with me. She wants me to concentrate on doing experiments."

Li Yuan:.

Sister Yan changed the subject and said: "If you don't talk about this, let's go to the gourd and have a look."

Li Yuan nodded, then waved his hand, and the mouth of the gourd bottle opened, sucking Sister Yan's soul in. He also got in immediately, and the old gourd fell to the ground with a "snap".

But then, a hand stretched out from the gourd, pulled the gourd in, and the gourd disappeared.

"That's it?"

Sister Yan hugged her chest with her soul separated, standing on a high slope of loess whose surface had long been weathered. The world she saw was like a messy "garbage dump" disturbed by a huge dragon.

Trees grew randomly everywhere, and many strange insects were flapping their wings; there were pools of water dotted here and there, but there was not a single fish.

Here are the ruins of the foreign land that Li Yuan casually put into the gourd.

The soil is the mountain he almost destroyed, and the pool is the lake used to quench fire.

The original life was almost extinct, and what was born at this time were some surviving insect eggs. However, after a hundred years, the descendants of the original insects have grown savagely into some strange appearance.

"Be content. It's good to have such a world for you to conduct experiments specifically." Li Yuandao.

Yan Yu said: "My dear husband, can you make a boundary weapon for me?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "Let me say it first, I can't make a second one as big as this in this world that can be packed in a gourd."

"How big can it be?"

"There should still be some within a radius of one or two miles."

"Too small, my experiments would hit the edge of the world when they flap their wings."

Li Yuan put the old gourd directly into Yan Yu Fenhun's hand and said, "Then just take it and use it."

"Thank you, Mr. Yan." Sister Yan was very happy when she split her soul. Then she hit Li Yuan's arm and said, "Mr. Mr., please work with me to recover these monsters. There are too many of them and they are scattered widely."

As she talked, she felt a little worried again.

Li Yuan asked: "What's wrong?"

Sister Yan's spirit shook the gourd and said, "The monster is so big that I'm afraid it won't fit in a gourd."

Li Yuandao: "Then I will cast some more boundary weapons, and then they will be opened separately."

Sister Yan's ghost pushed him and said: "Then go quickly, how long will it take to come back?"

Li Yuandao: "If it's fast, it should be almost a few years away. The main reason is that the material of the boundary weapon is troublesome. I have to search in the starry sky."

"Go back quickly." Sister Yan hugged the big gourd tightly. Apparently this thing solved a big trouble for her.

Li Yuan asked: "Is there anyone safe?"

Sister Yan separated her soul and said: "The main body is confirming something. When your world weapon is cast, we should have a clue. By then, if Ping An is still alive, we will probably be able to see him."

Li Yuan nodded, then stepped into the empty boat, took another step to travel freely, and appeared at a place about a hundred years away from his ancestral land, and then continued to explore.

He remembered that there were debris in this star field, and now he wanted to pick out a star core and take it back to make a boundary device.

The star field is endless.

Time is almost completely meaningless here.

Everything remains unchanged.

Li Yuan searched boringly.

Two years later, he found a star core the size of an adult's head, presumably the remains of an explosion from nowhere.

When he grabbed the star core, he was about to store it naturally, but suddenly a strange emotion arose in his heart, and then he frowned and put the star core in front of him again.

In the starry sky, a faint blue light was falling, and the indentation on the star core, which was the size of an adult's head, gradually became clear.

Li Yuan looked carefully, trying to find the source of the strange emotion just now.

He carefully wiped the marks on it with his fingers and kept fiddling with the angle.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank and his hands froze.

He finally understood where that strange emotion was born.

From this perspective, the star core actually looks like an eye.

The eye sockets, eyelids, and even the extraordinarily dark ball in the middle are more like eyeballs.

Li Yuan thought he had seen it wrong, but he turned it over and over again, and after a long time he murmured: "The Way of Chaos."

After that, he looked around at the meteorites floating in the void, suddenly enlightened and showing a solemn expression.

“It’s truly a cemetery worthy of its name.”

The following year, autumn.

Li Yuan completed the construction of the second boundary weapon in the outer domain.

This time, he did not dare to add 100,000 years of life, but only used the [Time Pen] to add 10,000 years of life.

After some beating, this brand new boundary tool turned into a stick.

There are some beads hanging on the stick, hanging in strings. They are not beautiful, but they show a cold and deep black.

The stick itself has a small world with a radius of tens of miles, and the inside of the small beads is half a mile or a mile.

Li Yuan quickly found Yan Yu's split soul and handed the staff to her, and then the two began to collect the mountain and sea monsters together.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.

With the joint efforts of the two, the many mountain and sea monsters were finally included in the world of gourds and sticks.

As for the human world, those strong people have just begun to explore the marginal monsters and start thinking about solving them, but they find that these monsters have disappeared.

However, there are not many monsters, and since they are all mutated by the "power of the Four Symbols", some of them have slipped through the net.

These fish that slipped through the net were seen by mortals again, and many strange stories were woven into them.

But even if they are fish that slip through the net, they do not have the ability to reproduce, so after leaving behind some strange stories, they will soon disappear completely from the world.

Later generations could only glimpse the scaly claws from the books left by their ancestors, and then they had great doubts, thinking that this kind of life could not exist at all.

Nowadays, Yan Yu's divided soul enters the world of sticks and gourds to experiment on a daily basis.

Regarding the whereabouts of Ping An, she asked Li Yuan to go to the underworld to find his true form.

When Li Yuan came to the underworld, Yan Yu was at the mirror of rebirth behind the Yama Hall, looking at the mirror with a stern expression, his face covered with fatigue.

It can make Earth Mother Yuanjun feel tired. One can imagine how much effort she put into looking at this rebirth mirror.

Xiao Yan was sitting aside, looking ahead worriedly.

The atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

"father!"

Xiao Lin heard the movement and shouted first, and then said, "My brother is missing."

Li Yuan responded "Yes", then approached and asked: "Sister Yan, have you found the ancient palace?"

Yan Yu nodded with an extremely serious expression, and then said straight to the point: "The world of reincarnation has been sucked over.

The world of reincarnation has lost the supply of souls, and all souls are in the underworld, so it comes over.

The first to bear the brunt are the dilapidated ancient temples.

The three ancient palaces, like the vanguard of the king, will arrive soon

If what I see in the future is correct, in the next thousand years, those ancient temples will suddenly appear somewhere in the world, causing disaster.

Before Ping An disappeared into the Ancient Palace of Life, the Ancient Palace of Life must also be among them. "

Li Yuan recalled the scale of the Ancient Life Palace and the blood demon hidden in it, and then told Lady Yan this information.

Lady Yan shook her head and said, "The Ancient Palace of Life seems not to be what you said."

Li Yuandao: "What is that?"

Lady Yan said: "I have many memories of star spirits. Although they are fragmented, I know that the Ancient Palace of Life is composed of many sealed palaces. It is possible that what you explored before was only one of the sealed palaces.

So this also explains why you have not been able to find the most precious treasure in the Ancient Palace of Life - the Human Seed Fruit. "

"Sister Yan, do you know about the Human Seed Fruit? Do you think this thing really exists?" Li Yuan looked a little weird.

Madam Yan showed a look of reminiscence, and then said: "Human Seed Fruit, Nether Yingcao, and Candlelight Flower, these are the three treasures of the Ancient Palace of Life, the Ancient Palace of Taiyin, and the Ancient Palace of the Sun, and they are the birth of a dynasty.

The essence of the Ancient Palace of Life, the Ancient Palace of Taiyin, and the Ancient Palace of the Sun is the abandoned Six Paths.

The Ancient Palace of Life is the abandoned Lower Three Paths and Heavenly Human Path.

The Taiyin Ancient Palace is an abandoned Star Spirit Path.

The Ancient Palace of the Sun is an abandoned Chaos Path. "

As she said that, she thought for a while, and then said: "From the miscellaneous memories of the stars, I can probably know that the human seed fruit is of great benefit to the cultivation of the human soul, while the ghost grass and the candle flower are beneficial to the earth soul respectively. , Tianhun has great benefits.

But except for these three treasures.

There is one ultimate thing in this world. "

Yan Yu paused and said slowly: "Daoguo."

"One discipline gives birth to one fruit, which is supported by the gods of the heavens, the lunar sun and the sun."

"However, the Tao Fruit will usually only bear fruit when the world enters annihilation.

That is the ultimate conceived by the end of a world.

This kind of ultimate cannot be glimpsed even by the former Star Spirits and Chaos.

Because the path and fruition are not in the present, not in the past, but in the future. "

The tomb-like starry sky and the dead world appeared in Li Yuan's mind, and he subconsciously asked: "Has Daoguo been born?"

Yan Yu shook his head, but said: "The stars have long-standing rumors.

They said that on the other side of life, fruit will grow.

This fruit is the fruit of the path.

The other side of life is a place far away from reincarnation.

This place is at the end of the intersection of the three ancient palaces of life, taiyin and sun.

Whether he has been born or not, you will know if you go and take a look.

Even though it is dangerous and full of surprises.

But if you can't see it in this world, then no one will be able to reach it. "

Li Yuan thought.

Yan Yu said: "The world of reincarnation is attracted here. It is part of the world order. It stands to reason that after coming here, it will only merge with my underworld and continue to perform the duties of reincarnation.

How to integrate it depends on my own ability.

But these are just information that I have inferred based on my memory and my own vision.

just in case"

She said no more.

But Li Yuan already understood.

There are two worst-case scenarios:

1. Sister Yan was swallowed up by the world of reincarnation. This is very possible. After all, although the underworld is powerful, it can't compare with the incinerator that has existed since ancient times, not to mention that the incinerator also has the lunar sun;

Second, there is no order in the world of reincarnation at all. It is completely out of control, and then it falls like a meteorite from the sky, directly destroying the underworld and the ancestral land. This wave of destruction is considered to be ahead of schedule.

At present, it seems that they are not attracted quickly, and the fastest ones to arrive are the three ancient temples.

If he could complete the exploration of the three ancient palaces, find the Human Plant Fruit, the Dark Ying Grass, the Candle Flower, and then find the Dao Fruit at the end, that great opportunity would probably eliminate all crises.

It’s not certain whether this can be done, but this is the only thing that can be done at the moment.

However, Li Yuan suddenly asked: "Sister Yan, can you see the ending in the afterlife mirror?"

Madam Yan looked exhausted, shook her head, and said: "The secret of heaven is chaotic, and there is no end in sight."

Li Yuanhu said: "How about you loosen the hole in the underworld and return some souls to the world of reincarnation."

Lady Yan was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, and then said: "Mr. Sir, how long do you think we have?

Isn’t this great crisis a great opportunity?

Even if we have to let go, we will wait until we see the three ancient temples and complete the exploration.

Otherwise, you have been traveling in the starry sky for hundreds of years, but have you ever found those three ancient temples from the depths of the universe? "

She breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I can’t go to the human world.

When the time comes, my soul will accompany you.

Her most important experimental period has passed. If you are willing, you can marry her. "
