Pawn Crossing the River

At this time, the sky was not bright yet, and it was dark blue, except for a faint hint of fish belly white at the end of the sky.

Liuhu has finished packing, abandoning the more cumbersome women's clothing and putting on improved men's clothing, which is simple, neat and easy to ride. This is also one of the trends nowadays. When they went to Wugoshanli, Zhang Yuelu and Mu Jin were both dressed in modified men's clothes. Then Liu Hu added a cloak with a hood on the outside, which can resist wind and rain.

Bodhisattvaman took out two masks as thin as cicada wings and handed them to the two of them respectively, and said: "Although the disguise may not be able to hide it from the eyes of interested people, it is better than nothing at least."

Qi Xuansu took the mask, looked at it briefly, and then covered it on his face very familiarly. Then he used a small spell to summon a water mirror, and carefully smoothed the wrinkles of the mask in front of the mirror. In the blink of an eye, Qi Xuansu Has become a different person.

Compared with Qi Xuansu's original appearance, Qi Xuansu's brows at this time were a bit more gloomy, and he looked quite scheming. In addition, Qi Xuansu's eyes were somewhat decisive and fierce. The combination of the two, On the contrary, the new face is more suitable for the name "Wei Wugui". It makes people feel that this person is not a good person at first glance, and they dare not provoke him rashly, which is quite a deterrent.

Liu Hu held the mask, opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Qi Xuansu in surprise.

"Girl, do you think that traveling around the world is just about fighting with people? How can it be that easy? There is a lot of knowledge in it. You need to know something about horseback riding, hunting, firearm medicine, wound treatment, disguise modification, looking for directions, Feng Shui, geography, and slang. Dabble." Bodhisattva said with a smile, "Did you see how Uncle Wei used the mask just now? You should also learn to wear it yourself."

Liu Hu responded and ran back to his room.

About two sticks of incense later, Liuhu left and returned again, its appearance also changed. Originally, her appearance was just that of a middle-aged person. It was still a bit on the upper side. Now it is simply on the lower side, but it is definitely not ugly. It seems that Bodhisattva knows very well that no matter how beautiful or ugly you are, you will attract attention. It is ordinary and ordinary. Serious, but his eyes are still bright.

Bodhisattva Man looked at Qi Xuansu again: "You are an old Jianghu. How to get to Zhili? I don't need to talk about it. There is only one way, so be careful."

Qi Xuansu nodded solemnly.

"Father..." Liu Hu called softly, feeling both reluctance and sadness.

Bodhisattva originally wanted to reach out and touch the top of Liu Hu's head, but he stopped abruptly in the middle and finally sighed: "There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. Fate comes and we gather, and fate goes and we part. The fate between you and me as father and daughter has been exhausted. If we are destined, we will meet again in the future.”

Liu Hu looked serious, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times to the Bodhisattva Man, and said goodbye to his adoptive father.

Qi Xuansu stood aside without saying a word.

The Bodhisattva accepted Liuhu's great gift and looked up at the sky: "Let's go quickly while it's early."

Liu Hu slowly stood up and followed Qi Xuansu outside.

In addition to Qi Xuansu's "Bu Yue" outside the door, there is also a horse. The journey from Zhongzhou to Zhili is long and it is impossible to do it without riding a horse. This is why Liu Hu specially changed into a riding outfit. Moreover, Liu Hu is not a weak woman without the strength to restrain a chicken. Her parents are both Taoists. A person who can be implicated in a major Jiangnan case and even silenced by "one of his own" cannot be a low-grade Taoist priest who has no access to core secrets. At least he is a fourth-grade Taoist priest who offers wine. Not to mention her adoptive father Bodhisattva Man, even Qi Xuansu couldn't see through his true and false qualities. He was obviously not an ordinary person. In such an environment, Liu Hu could not be a weak woman.

Liu Hu is now at the Kunlun stage of cultivation and is already a veritable innate person. When Qi Xuansu was her age, she did not have such a level of cultivation. Even last year, Qi Xuansu was only at the Kunlun stage. Of course, people with the same level of cultivation, experience in fighting with others, and experience in various arenas are completely different.

Qi Xuansu first raised his hands towards Bodhisattva Manyi, then got on his horse. Liu Hu took one last look at his adoptive father and then mounted his horse.

Bodhisattva Man stood at the door, watching the two people's backs go away, showing a bit of desolation.

The city gate is not open at this time, but in a big city like Longmen Mansion, there will be a small gate for people to enter and exit at night. However, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit, and they need to have relevant credentials. Bodhisattvaman was an aide of the General Military Mansion and became half of the family of the General Military Mansion. It was easy to get Liuhu a voucher for entering and exiting the city gate.

After the two people left the city through the small gate, they headed north.

Liu Hu has an introverted character, he doesn't like to talk much and is just silent.

The first day was uneventful. The two set out before dawn, and when it was almost nightfall, they had not yet left the boundaries of Longmen Mansion, and settled down to rest at a Taiping Inn in the wild. In fact, at the stage of returning to his true nature, Qi Xuansu could already stay awake for several days, but Liuhu couldn't do it, and the journey was not short, it would take at least a month or two, so Qi Xuansu still had to rest after all.

Although Taiping Inn has always been known for its safety, few people would dare to break into the inn to commit murder unless they were great masters like Feng Bo. However, just in case, Qi Xuansu still asked for two guest rooms next to each other, and in Liu There are some small mechanisms arranged in Hu's room. If someone sneaks into the guest room, there will be a noise immediately, and then everyone goes to sleep.

Not long after Qi Xuansu fell asleep, he had a dream.

For Qi Xuansu, dreaming is extremely common. Every time, there are dark mountains, fires, and black shadows. From the initial surprise, now it is no longer strange. But today's dream is different from the past. There are no mountains or black shadows, but the underworld.

In front of Qi Xuansu, there is a large river with no end or end, a bridge on the river, and an old woman on the bridge. It looks like the legendary Naihe Bridge.

On the opposite side of the bridge, behind the thick fog, a city can be vaguely seen, which seems to be the legendary Fengdu. It is five hundred miles long from east to west, eight hundred miles from north to south, and thirteen miles high. It is the capital of the underworld and is home to all the hells in the underworld. In Fengdu City, there are ten halls of Yama, which govern the good and bad luck in the underworld and punish the sins of dead souls.

In the records of Taoism, there is indeed the theory of the Three Realms. Above is the sky, where you ascend to heaven and ascend to immortality. Below is the earth, where the dead souls of the Nine Netherworlds return. The common people imagined that there were existences similar to the imperial court and government in the sky and on the earth, so they said that there was heaven above, which was the imperial court, and there was the underworld below, which was the government.

But in fact this is not the case. According to Taoist records, these two places are very different from the human world.

The so-called heaven is the extreme of Yang, vast and vast, boundless and nothing, no light, no shadow, no sound, no breath, no beginning and no end. If a mortal person reaches this point, it will be the same as nothing. If an immortal person reaches this point, it will be as if they are in deep tranquility. Only those with the great supernatural power to open up the world can open up a world here. Therefore, Taishang Taoist ancestors opened up the Thirty-three Heavens, World Honored Buddha opened up the three realms of the Buddha's kingdom, and the Emperor of Heaven opened up the heaven. Once you enter this world, you can never return to the human world. Because of this, there are many people who don't want to ascend, but they are afraid of the catastrophe that happens once in a hundred years, so they have to ascend.

The so-called Netherworld is the ultimate form of Yin. After death, the soul returns to heaven and the body returns to earth. In fact, they all enter this place and eventually turn into chaos. Only three corpses wander around, staying in the world and turning into ghosts. The Zaoge Sect once used its boundless corpse energy to corrode a gap in the present world, leading directly to the Nine Netherworlds, which actually connected this world. The world here is extremely filthy. Except for a few special immortals, other immortals are unwilling to set foot there, let alone establish the reincarnation of the underworld master here.

To use an inappropriate analogy, the Three Realms are like a very large city. The sky is the highest tower and palace. The road to the top is dangerous and difficult. Only a few people can go there. It is easy to go up but difficult to come down. You can only overlook the city and cannot intervene. There are intricate sewers underground, and all kinds of sewage are discharged into this place. It is filthy and dark, making it difficult for ordinary people to survive. No one will live in the sewers for a long time. Even if they manage the sewers, they will not need too many people, let alone anyone to review these sewers. The good and evil merits and demerits of "sewage". The so-called good and evil will be rewarded, which is more of a self-consolation for the world's inability to resist reality.

The main body is still the city itself. Whether it is the upper tower or the sewer, it depends on the city for its existence.

Since Xuansheng revitalized Taoism, he has been very opposed to pretending to be mysterious and deceiving the world. Therefore, in general courses, these contents are written clearly and never covertly.

Because of this, Qi Xuansu knew very well that if he really came to Jiuyou, not to mention whether there was a Naihe Bridge, he would be corroded by the boundless Yin Qi right away until there was no trace left.

This dream is strange.
