Pawn Crossing the River

The stone door that Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao came out of was not opened on the wall, but stood in the hall. There was nothing around. If you go around to the back, it's like the back of a mirror, naturally there is nothing.

After a brief shock, the two began to explore the hall.

Zhou Mengyao found that the doors and windows of the hall were completely sealed from the outside. The talismans they saw inside were just the tip of the iceberg. After all, there were murals on the walls inside. Zhou Mengyao initially estimated that the entire wall outside was engraved with talismans. Even if the two recovered all their cultivation, they might not be able to open it. This is like a cage, after all, it is a place to suppress "heaven". Although it is mainly based on the Cloud God Cave Heaven and the "Taixu Fantasy Realm" left by the Cloud God, this palace is also quite good. It is a masterpiece of Taiping Dao. If you can slowly study these runes, you will definitely gain a lot.

However, the two made a new discovery at the eight gates of the sundial. The life gate among the eight gates corresponds to the closed bronze door of the hall, which naturally cannot be opened at this time. Corresponding to it is the Death Gate, which corresponds to a downward passage.

It turns out that there is another layer below this hall.

Let's distinguish them by Yin and Yang, the upper one is the Yang Hall, and the lower one is the Yin Hall.

The two had nowhere to go, so they could only go to the mountain of tigers.

Compared with the Yang Hall, the Yin Hall is like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, but it is reversed left and right and up and down. The same star map, the Yang Hall on the ground is suspended on the dome, while the Yin Hall underground is located at the foot, as if stepping on the starry sky.

The same is true for the golden lamp. Not only has the hanging golden lamp become a foot lamp, but the color of the whole body has also changed from gold to black, making the Yin Hall like the netherworld, and the overall structure is very similar to the Yin and Yang worlds that the two just left.

The only difference is that there is an inner hall in the Yin Hall, which is the core key.

At this time, the door of the inner hall has been opened by someone, and the sound of fighting can be faintly heard, and even bursts of dragon roars.

Qi Xuansu immediately determined that the noise must have been caused by Long Xiaobai.

No wonder she couldn't be found at the critical moment. The dragon girl was teleported to the core area again.

However, Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao did not act immediately. They had just escaped from the trap and needed a process to recover their cultivation. Qi Xuansu was only at the free and unrestrained stage of the heavenly being. Zhou Mengyao was a little stronger than him, at most at the boundless stage of the heavenly being. Now it would be difficult for the two of them to fight at the stage of good fortune. If the gods fight and the "mortals" suffer, it would be a joke.

Just as he was thinking this, a figure was beaten out, his Dharma body was broken, and he was covered in blood. It was the "shopkeeper" of the "inn".

Qi Xuansu said softly: "Sanniang, didn't you say you would kill the 'shopkeeper'? It's just the right time to avenge 'Qingshanshi'. Now the opportunity has come. If you don't take action, when will you?"

Zhou Mengyao couldn't help rolling her eyes. When she said this, she was still an immortal. A seriously injured immortal was also an immortal. Naturally, she was full of confidence and had the posture of sending him away easily. But this time is different. Now she is in a desperate situation, and it's the second time of plum blossoms. It's hard to say who will kill whom.

Fortunately, there is still a Long Xiaobai.

If there is no Long Xiaobai, the "shopkeeper" will really get the advantage.

Then, Long Xiaobai rushed out of the inner hall with full momentum. At this time, she was half human and half dragon, barely still in human form, but her hands had become dragon claws, and she had a dragon tail and two dragon horns, a real little dragon man.

Long Xiaobai showed no mercy and smashed the "shopkeeper's" head with one claw.

After all, there was a gap in realm. The "shopkeeper" was only at the stage of good fortune, so he was naturally no match for Long Xiaobai. Moreover, the two had been fighting fiercely for a long time, and the "shopkeeper" had obviously reached the end of his rope.

Qi Xuansu called "Xiaobai".

Long Xiaobai saw Qi and Zhou and immediately exclaimed: "Why are you two together?"

Before the two could answer, Long Xiaobai had suddenly realized: "I said, master and apprentice are still master and apprentice."

Zhou Mengyao smiled, just like his usual disguise, but his whole body was tense, and his eyes were full of vigilance.

There is no doubt that at this moment, Qi Xuansu took the initiative. If he wanted to kill Zhou Mengyao, it would only take a word.

This was also the closest time Qi Xuansu had ever been to killing Zhou Mengyao.

But when the time came, Qi Xuansu hesitated instead.

Anyway, the two had just gone through hardships together. Judging from Long Xiaobai's situation, maybe not much time had passed since he came to the world. After all, it was impossible for Long Xiaobai to fight with the "shopkeeper" for several months, but the two had spent half a year together, and they could be regarded as helping each other. They had just escaped from danger. The moment before, they were still discussing how to escape, but in the blink of an eye, Qi Xuansu immediately turned against them. It was still a bit difficult.

More importantly, Qi Xuansu's resentment had dissipated a lot in the past six months. After that bad breath passed, Qi Xuansu began to miss the old times, and secondly, began to seriously consider a reality. It was one thing not to recognize this master, but if she was really killed, the impact would be very bad.

I hope that the holy dynasty will rule the world with filial piety. This tradition has been deeply engraved in the bones of the Central Plains. No matter how the dynasty changes, the word "filial piety" must be emphasized. There are no parents who are not right in the world. Although Xuansheng once refuted it, he wanted to be filial but not obedient, but he could not completely reverse it. Taoism also emphasizes that the master and apprentice are like father and son, and killing the master is like killing the father. This crime is not easy to bear. Others don't care about your inner difficulties. The fact is that you killed your own enlightenment teacher.

Haven't you heard about the story of Emperor Taizong of the Great Qi Dynasty? Emperor Taizong was so wise and powerful, but he was still criticized for killing his brother and imprisoning his father, let alone others?

Haven't you heard about Zheng Bo Ke Duan Yu Yan? Although they said that they would never meet again until the underworld, they finally couldn't bear the gossip of the world and created a underworld.

So even if he was the chief teacher, he didn't dare to do this.

Qi Xuansu was a person who aspired to be the chief teacher after all. He was not greedy for money and women. In addition to his own reasons, he also cherished his feathers. He also had to consider his reputation in the past and future.

At this moment, Qi Xuansu thought a lot.

Did Zhou Mengyao deserve to be executed?

After all, she didn't really do anything to Qi Xuansu, at most it was an attempt, plus the six months of getting along and because of her reputation, Qi Xuansu really couldn't do it.

Qi Xuansu suddenly smiled and said, "Sanniang, why are you so nervous?"

Zhou Mengyao didn't say anything, just stared at Qi Xuansu.

When a smart person speaks, there is no need to beat around the bush or make it too clear, so Qi Xuansu said, "Once a teacher, always a... teacher. The Taoist ancestors are in front of me, and the history books are behind me. I can't stop the world from talking."

Zhou Mengyao's expression eased a little.

Qi Xuansu changed the subject: "However, if you put yourself in my shoes, I gave in today because I hope Sanniang can also give in, so that we can complete this fate."

Zhou Mengyao looked at Qi Xuansu deeply: "There are some things that I can't help. The same thing, the geomancer can tolerate Qi Niang's nonsense, but he may not tolerate me."

Qi Xuansu's heart moved.

A long time ago, he had such a guess that Zhou Mengyao and Qi Niang were just holding "shares" on behalf of each other, and the real major shareholder was the geomancer. Today, it seems that this guess is not wrong and is very close to the truth.

Qi Xuansu turned and asked: "Why is the geomancer so tolerant of Qi Niang? Is it just because the two are sisters?"

Zhou Mengyao said: "You can ask Qi Niang in person."

Qi Xuansu stopped talking.

Long Xiaobai was confused and didn't know what the two were talking about.

Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "Let's not talk about it, let's leave this place first."

After that, Qi Xuansu walked towards the inner hall.

There is a huge alchemy furnace here, which is probably where Long Xiaobai's chance lies. It must be said that this little dragon man is really lucky. He was teleported here directly, and then he took the elixir and became a pseudo-immortal in one step. If he were teleported to the "Illusionary Realm of Taixu", ten Long Xiaobai would not be enough for the outer demon to eat.

Going around the alchemy furnace, there is a figure sitting behind it. I think it is the immortal remains that Long Xiaobai mentioned, immortal and motionless.

But this immortal remains has no head.

There is misty smoke flowing slowly around him, like the smoke of immortals, and like the mist of the Yin Realm.

Zhou Mengyao said: "Tianyuan, do you remember the face of the outer demon incarnation we saw..."

Qi Xuansu remembered it immediately.

In fact, the face is not a head, but a position similar to the forehead.

It was like a person pushed up a mask he was wearing, but never took it off, and just kept it on his forehead. The distorted and terrifying face was the "mask", and underneath the "mask" was the abyss that swallowed them.

Qi Xuansu said: "You mean, that head is the key to sealing the extraterritorial demon?"
