Bone Taoist

Chapter 813: White Bone Road

The sky is as blue as the boundless azure, as if traveling through the long river of time. This experience is like the afternoon after a big dream, clear-headed yet confused.

Ye Zang's head was dizzy, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his spirit returned to his body instantly.

In front of him, Shu Aohan was still sitting cross-legged on the cushion like a fairy flower. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then slowly opened.

As soon as his spiritual eyes opened, a sharp air came straight at him, and even Ye Zang's spiritual body felt creepy. He knew that this was emitted unconsciously by Shu Aohan.

After staying in the dream-like world in the bottle for so long, Shu Aohan obviously hadn't recovered yet. She was breathing slightly, her chest rising and falling, and she stared at Ye Zang in a daze. Memories like a flood burst out from her sea of ​​consciousness.

After taking a full half hour to relax, she took a deep breath and her eyes gradually became clear.

"Sister..."

Ye Zang looked at her, grasped Shu Aohan's cold little hand, and held her in his arms.

The latter moved his lips and did not resist. The familiar embrace and the man's breath were the same as always. Shu Aohan felt like a long time had passed, like millions of years, and he had experienced several reincarnations.

During this period, she seemed to have gradually lost something. She once became extremely hysterical, but in the end, after several lifetimes of sinking, her sea of ​​consciousness was closed and she completely forgot everything outside.

Although his state of mind has reached an extremely ethereal state and returned to its original nature, it is extremely difficult to recover, especially after entering the second level of Hedao.

If Ye Zang had not come to help her this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"How long... has it been?" Shu Aohan asked softly, his tone sounding very tired.

"It has been almost half a century since you entered the Taixu Illusion Realm for seclusion." Ye Zang gently stroked her hair and said calmly.

"Thank you." Shu Aohan stammered and said these two words.

"Given our previous relationship, there's no need to thank me." Ye Zang shook his head.

Shu Aohan did not say anything, but just leaned tightly against Ye Zang's chest, hugging him, as if she was afraid of losing him again. She had experienced so many lifetimes in the dream that she could hardly distinguish between reality and dreams. She was still afraid that everything she was experiencing before her eyes was just another dream cycle.

She needs time to recover and get familiar with the Ten Continents again.

Ye Zang didn't ask any more questions, but just stroked her back gently, feeling Shu Aohan's soft and slightly cold soul body.

Thousands of miles away, the girl in red stood on a high pavilion, looked at the two people hugging each other, frowned, and went back to the cave on her own, as if she didn't want to see the scene in front of her.

……

Seven days later, Ye Zang grabbed Shu Aohan's hand and flew towards the palace of the Red-Shang Girl.

"That woman is the ancient primordial spirit in the Taixu Illusionary Realm, but this place is not a cave in the Taixu Illusionary Realm. Instead, it was lost from the outer universe many years ago. It is a part of the Nine Nether Sea in the ancient Yama Fairyland..." Ye Zang said slowly.

"When I came to the island, I didn't sense the existence of the woman you mentioned." Shu Aohan blinked and said calmly. After experiencing the Great Dream for several lifetimes, Shu Aohan's state of mind became more stable.

She now restrained her sharp sword intent, like a female leopard lurking in the jungle, hiding her edge and being able to control her sword freely.

This is a very scary realm. Her attainments in the way of the sword will certainly be limitless in the future, and she might even be able to achieve the ultimate level.

"This time, I was able to rescue my senior sister, thanks to the efforts of that senior." Ye Zang said casually.

"Oh, really?"

Shu Aohan's eyes brightened a little, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

The two of them stepped on the mysterious energy and broke through the air. Soon they crossed a distance of tens of thousands of miles, and the magnificent palace gradually appeared in the distance.

Ye Zang brought Shu Aohan straight in. He sensed that the woman in red was currently in the hall.

Inside, an ancient atmosphere filled the air. At the end of the hall, a woman in red, wearing a crimson Taoist robe, was facing away from Ye Zang and the other man, looking at the murals engraved on the wall.

The stone wall was made of Chaos Stone, and the murals were carved with pure spiritual consciousness. The sculptor's spiritual consciousness was at least above the Taoist level. However, carving such a delicate mural was by no means something that could be accomplished overnight.

It was a picture of mountains and rivers stained with blood, filled with a heavy murderous aura.

It depicts a scene of purgatory on earth, like the end of the world when a catastrophe comes, all the monks are fleeing, corpses are everywhere, and blood is flowing like a river.

Ye Zang just looked at it intently for a few breaths, and then he felt the screams of ghosts and wolves howling in his ears, which made him feel creepy.

"Senior?" Ye Zang bowed.

The woman in red remained silent. Ye Zang frowned slightly, looking a little confused.

Just when he was about to ask again, the woman in red slowly turned her head. The look on her face startled Ye Zang and the other two.

Her peerless beauty had disappeared, replaced by a skeleton without flesh and blood.

“The white face of hibiscus is nothing but a skeleton covered with flesh. The red makeup of peony is a deadly weapon. A beautiful woman can destroy the life of a genius of generations. A handful of yellow earth can bury countless heroes.” The girl in red flicked her sleeves. Her delicate body had turned into bones, but still vivid. Her scary eyes revealed a deep dark light. The atmosphere of the whole hall instantly turned cold. Ye Zang and Shu Aohan felt as if they were in the Nine Nether Hell.

"Senior, what do you mean?" Ye Zang frowned and protected Shu Aohan. Although the latter was at a higher level than him, he had just recovered and needed some time to calm down.

This is the Nine Netherworld Sea, where cultivation cannot be suppressed. With the Red Dressed Woman's third-level Dharma Eyes, if a fight really breaks out, Ye Zang and the other two will be in trouble.

However, Ye Zang only felt horrified and did not detect any murderous intent from her.

The red-dressed woman ignored him and lightly moved her steps. Her hollow and deep eyes stared at Ye Zang, making him feel uncomfortable. She continued, "A skeleton made of white bones and flesh. Take off the skin and it's nothing but 206 bones. Put on clothes and it can have 108,000 appearances. Look at the bones after death and guess the human heart while alive. Seeing beauties as bones makes me desireless. Seeing bones as beauties makes me fearless. Without desire and fear, the great way can be achieved..."

"Being free from desire and fear, killing to become an immortal, is this the path of the White Bone Immortal?" Shu Aohan's face turned cold and he said calmly.

When Ye Zang heard this, he was slightly startled and his eyes turned to the woman in red.

What the woman just said was what Bai Gu Zhenren once said to their disciples. According to ancient records, Bai Gu Zhenren was the last Taoist who ascended to the fairyland in the last period of ancient times. He was a murderer and caused bloodshed on the border between the big monsters and humans, almost burying the monks and mortals of an ancient dynasty.

Ye Zang and Shu Aohan had once passed by the disaster caused by the White Bone Immortal at the border of southern Xinjiang, and were very familiar with the matter.

"Hahaha... but did it scare you?"

The woman in red was silent for a few breaths, then burst into laughter. She flicked her crimson sleeves, and her face and body became completely new, becoming as charming as before.

She smiled, looking very pretty, but there seemed to be a hint of sadness hidden in her eyes.

"Senior, what is your relationship with the White Bone Immortal?" Ye Zang asked thoughtfully.

When she first met this girl, she said some incomprehensible things to Ye Zang and said that she recognized Ye Zang. Could it be that because she had also opened up the divine treasure of the White Bone Immortal, the latter thought that Ye Zang was his reincarnation?
That's why he said he was familiar with Yezo. The latter's memory was incomplete, so it was normal to have such misunderstanding.

"Young Taoist friend, you have also rescued your Taoist partner. After leaving behind the Taia Fa, you can leave on your own." The woman in red glanced at Shu Aohan, the smile on her face disappeared, and she said casually.

"Senior, didn't you say before that you would solve the doubts in my heart? I do have many questions in my heart. Please, after you have realized the Taia Fa, please discuss it with me again!" Ye Zang bowed.

This woman lived in the late ancient times, and was a contemporary of the White Bone Immortal. She might even know something about the ancient catastrophe, and might even have the White Bone Immortal's inherited Taoist magic!
This is very crucial for Ye Zang to restore his realm and repair the Hedao method in the future.

Because Bai Gu Taoist was the last true immortal in history, countless people had been trying to find out what kind of Taoism he practiced since the end of ancient times, trying to find his secret treasures, but to no avail.

Unexpectedly, this woman is related to the White Bone Immortal.

"The old man is gone. There is no point in me saying more, for fear that it will bring down some consequences." The woman in red curved her eyes slightly. Although there was a smile on her face, there was endless coldness.

"I am quite interested in the White Bone Road that you just mentioned. I wonder if you could give me some pointers. What I have opened up is also the White Bone Divine Treasure." Ye Zang asked.

Although the White Bone Divine Treasure has been reshaped by Ye Zang and is no longer pure, the murderous aura within the Divine Treasure is still deeply affected by it.

"One is a destiny, the other is a lonely star, they are a perfect match."

The red-dressed girl's eyes trembled, she smiled, looked at Ye Zang and said: "You and I will have plenty of time to discuss the Dao later. When I practice the Taia Fa and perfect my understanding of the Dao and magical powers, it won't be too late for you to come back then!"

The woman in red waved her hand and said.

Having said this, Ye Zang did not ask any more questions. He immediately took out a spiritual tablet and handed it to the woman in red.

"Sister, let's go back first."

Ye Zang spoke to Shu Aohan with his spiritual consciousness, then grabbed her wrist and flew away.

Before leaving, Shu Aohan and the woman in red looked at each other, the meaning of which was somewhat inexplicable.

After the two of them left, the lady in red robes' expression suddenly darkened, and she looked at the mural that looked like the mountains and rivers were stained with blood with trembling eyes.

"I was delusional. The world has changed so much and it has gone through thousands of generations. We can never go back to that time..."

The woman in red grabbed the jade slip in her hand and crushed it. In an instant, the dense Taoist texts sank into her sea of ​​consciousness. She closed her beautiful eyes, sat cross-legged on the cushion, and her mind gradually sank.

At the same time, Ye Zang and Shu Aohan had already left here and were heading towards Tianquetai.

"Sister, after returning to Langya Palace, you should recuperate for a while and don't use your spiritual sense anymore." Ye Zang said. When confronting the girl in red clothes just now, Shu Aohan almost wanted to use her sword spirit again, which would be harmful to her cultivation.

"Yeah." Shu Aohan nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Zang asked softly.

Shu Aohan bit his lower lip lightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he shook his head and didn't say much.
