Day and night tour

Chapter 355 The Abyss
The solution Zhou Xuan proposed was like a thunderbolt. Zhou Lingyi fell into deep thought. Yuan Buyu also opened his mouth slightly and did not respond for a long time.

In the hearts of the people of Jing, the Sky Gods, whether they are evil or kind, are all high above. Although four Sky Gods have fallen in the two recent disasters in Mingjiang Prefecture,

But their fall has its reasons.

The Heavenly Official and the Ghost Hand relied on the arrival of the Taoist priests and were unable to exert their peak combat power. It had been three hundred years since Peng Hou was knocked down to a lower realm and was no longer at the peak of his combat power.

As for Gong Zheng, Zhou Xuan relied on the "world style" in the chess game of heaven and earth, borrowed the "momentum" of the entire Mingjiang Prefecture, and had the brief nine incense sticks of combat power after the man in the mirror broke the mirror, to kill him.

Although Zhou Xuan had a glorious record of slaying gods, Zhou Lingyi and Yuan Buyu still had not developed the confidence to do so.

in other words,

In their hearts, the Sky God level is still a superior figure.

“If we can’t solve the problem, we will solve the person who raised the problem; if we can’t solve the curse, we will solve the person who cast the curse.”

There is no solution to the curse in the Heavenly Book, so let’s solve the problem of “Bifang”.

Zhou Xuan asked Yuan Buyu: "Master, what do you think?"

"Bifang is hiding in the kingdom of God. No one can find his kingdom of God."

Yuan Buyu sighed and said, "Besides, even if we really find the kingdom of God where the storyteller is, only you can enter... You can't defeat Bifang alone."

There is no place in the world that cannot be reached without changing one's shape and form.

"I have two options."

Zhou Xuan said: "First, find the Kingdom of God and kill Bifang. I can enter the Kingdom of God by changing my form, but I will definitely not fight alone."

"Who else can help?"

"King Xishan."

Zhou Xuan said: "King Xishan is nine sticks of incense, and has reached the stage where he can ascend to the sky and kill the old gods. If we find the specific location of the kingdom of God, King Xishan will definitely be able to get in. He will be the main force, and I will be the helper. We will have the strength to fight."

Yuan Buyu pondered for a long time and still felt that this method was inappropriate - not to mention how long it would take King Xishan to fully recover to his peak combat power since his transverse bone was shattered by Zhaxing, just the fact that King Xishan and Zhou Xuan would join forces to fight against "Bifang" was still unknown.

He then asked: "What about the second method?"

"Find a way to force Bifang to come."

Zhou Xuan said.

Yuan Buyu finally transferred the curse away. He was a little weak, holding onto the door frame with his hand, and sighed, "It's not easy to force Bifang to come down to earth."

"The difficult things in this world are all done by people. They just take some time to figure out."

Zhou Xuan asked: "Master, you have experienced the Hundred Beasts and have a deep understanding of this curse. How long do you think this Red Ginseng Boy can help you bear the curse?"

"Three or four days at the shortest, five or six days at the longest," Yuan Buyu speculated.

"Then there is still time to think of countermeasures."

Zhou Xuan turned his head and said to Zhou Lingyi, "Sister, Chief Hu still has a red ginseng boy. You must take good care of it and not let it run away. When the eldest child's ginseng body reaches the stage where it can no longer withstand the curse, use the second child's ginseng body to withstand the curse as well."

"Xuan Zi, the Red Ginseng Boy has infinite magical uses. It would be a waste to use it on an old man like me who is about to die."

"You are my master, so using two boys is not a big deal."

Zhou Xuan looked up at the dim sky and pointed his hand fiercely towards the sky. The crescent moon seemed to be frightened and pulled a horizontal cloud over it, covering itself.

"Master, I will go back to Mingjiang Mansion to help you find a solution. Boy, you must use it when it is necessary. Don't be reluctant."

Zhou Xuan's soul traveled during the day and brought the three children back to Huifeng Medical College in Mingjiang Prefecture.

After Zhou Xuan left, Yuan Buyu asked Zhou Lingyi, "Does Xuanzi really have a way to kill Bifang?"

"No one can say for sure what happened to my brother."

Zhou Lingyi shook her head, not sure... but not daring to deny it either.

……

"Ouch!"

"what!"

"Sanwa, your body is so crowded, please move over there."

"Big Baby, where is that side?"

On Zhou Xuan's way back to Mingjiang Mansion, the noisiest ones were "Sanwa" and "Dawa".

Although Da Wa's ginseng body had been used to bear the curse for Yuan Buyu, his soul was taken away by the ancestral tree. After seeing San Wa, his soul directly entered San Wa's body.

"You two ginseng dolls actually still have souls?"

Zhou Xuan was very curious.

"You talk very strangely. People have souls. Do we have souls too?"

"That's right, Big Baby, let me tell you, today I played with something fun, it's called a kaleidoscope, the flowers inside it can change into a myriad of colors."

"Childish, who plays with that kind of stuff? We want to run away and gain the freedom that belongs to us, the ginseng baby."

Big Baby loudly plotted his "escape plan".

"I'm not running away. I'm going back to play with the kaleidoscope."

"Alas, toys can ruin your ambition. Third child, you should learn from me. No matter what kind of food or toys you use to seduce me, I, the eldest child, will just pull my legs apart and run to chase the wind of my freedom."

……

"Don't say that, it's quite fun."

Under the pavilion, the eldest child controlled his left eye and looked hard at the kaleidoscope, while the right eye controlled by the third child was spinning around anxiously.

"Hurry up and chase the wind of your freedom."

Sanwa urged.

The two ginseng babies were still carefree even though they were facing death. But Zhou Xuan was not so leisurely. He kept frowning, holding the wild delicacy soup, and thinking while drinking.

The fire was dim, and Lv Mingkun added another piece of dry wood to the stove and asked, "Does Bifang have anything that he is concerned about in the human world?"

Where there is concern, there is weakness.

"Bifang doesn't have any, but I have a lot."

Zhou Xuan smiled bitterly.

While the two were chatting, Zhao Wuya finally returned to the pavilion carrying Yun Ziliang's painting.

"Hey, my master and I went out to do some work for a day, and our home has changed a lot. We now have a big bamboo house and a little kid."

"This kid... is the Red Ginseng Boy?"

Yun Ziliang jumped out of the painting, like a "weird grandpa", crouching and sniffing the red ginseng boy.

Sanwa was annoyed that he couldn't play with the kaleidoscope, so he punched Yun Ziliang on the instep.

"Oh, that's pretty strong."

Yun Ziliang quickly retracted his feet and looked at the red ginseng boy as if he was looking at food.

"Lao Yun, don't think about the Red Ginseng Boy for now."

Zhou Xuan shook his hand towards Yun Ziliang.

"Xuan Zi, isn't this Red Ginseng Boy prepared for me?"

Yun Ziliang also longed to use the boy to repair his extremely broken body.

"My master is in big trouble, so I need to keep the Red Ginseng Boy for now. It can save his life at a critical moment."

"What happened?"

Yun Ziliang saw Zhou Xuan's serious expression and knew that it was a serious matter, so he stopped joking and scooped a bowl of soup himself, slurping it up.

Zhou Xuan told Yun Ziliang everything about the "Curse of the Beasts".

The more Yun Ziliang listened, the more frightened he became. He said, "The appearance of a hundred beasts... Bifang wants you to not only not be a human, but also to be a beast after death. You are a god, but you use such a despicable method."

"Lao Yun, what do you think we can do to get Bifang to come down to earth?"

"No, it's not Bifang. Yazi and I have been busy all day along the Ming River and in Dongshi Street, but we still can't find the Mountain Ancestor."

Yun Ziliang's actions were also frustrated.

"Can't the Ancestral Dragon and the Dragon God go to the kingdom of God where the Mountain Ancestor is?"

"Shanzu is not staying in the Kingdom of God, and no one knows where he went."

Zhao Wuya squatted aside, drinking soup, and gestured: "In such a huge kingdom of God, except for nine Taoists, the Mountain Ancestor has disappeared."

"I'm afraid he's hiding from us." Lu Mingkun interrupted.

"It doesn't look like it's hiding from us." Yun Ziliang said, "Ya Zi and I saw the scene in the kingdom of God through Zulong's eyes. The corners of the walls are covered with a thick layer of dust. The kingdom of God has not been cleaned for a long time. We, Xunlong Tianshi, have always had the habit of traveling around the world. Maybe even if we become gods in heaven, we can't change this habit."

At this point, Yun Ziliang turned around and said to Zhou Xuan: "Tomorrow, I will go find him again. Shanzu is not only related to the reconstruction of Mingjiang Mansion, but also to Bifang."

When Zhou Xuan heard "Bifang", he was very interested. He looked at Yun Ziliang and said, "This "Mountain Ancestor" and "Bifang" are closely related?"

"That's not it."

Yun Ziliang said: "There were originally 24 god-level beings above the sky. Both Bifang and Shanzu are god-level beings, so they must have some understanding of each other.
If you, Xuanzi, want to force Bifang to descend to the mortal world, you should ask the Mountain Ancestor if there is anything in the mortal world that Bifang would be interested in. Only by finding his weakness can you lure him to descend to the mortal world."

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

"The greatest weapon is to have complete understanding of a person." Zhou Xuan murmured.

"But if we can't find the Mountain Ancestor, everything will be zero. We are just toads trying to eat swan meat, wishful thinking."

Zhao Wuya stabbed him again from the side.

Zhou Xuan and Yun Ziliang glared at Zhao Wuya at the same time.

The murderous gaze made Yazi's neck shrink. He argued, "I'm not talking nonsense. This is the truth. Even if the words are rough, the logic is still there."

"But your words are too harsh."

"I'll go ask the Blood Well to see where the Mountain Ancestor has gone."

Zhou Xuan entered the City God Temple in the secret realm.

After Qingfeng returned, the true appearance of the temple was revealed. Originally, the temple was very simple, with only the most ordinary bricks and stones on the walls, but at this time, the decoration in the temple was extraordinary.

The pillars were painted with red lacquer, so shiny that they could reflect light, and the floor tiles were smooth and elegant as if they had been polished with water, giving it the style of a grand temple.

The most charming thing is the murals in the temple. On one wall, there are paintings of the six Dings and six Jias, each holding a magical instrument, looking very majestic.

The other wall is painted with "One Hundred Ghosts Parade at Night", with evil ghosts and scoundrels looking terrified.

Zhou Xuan did not see the eyes that originally grew on the wall, so he shouted, "Blood Well, ask for divination."

"Swoosh", "swoosh", "swoosh"...

The six gods and six jias on the wall and the hundred ghosts walking at night all had charm in their eyes.

"That's where the eyes are."

Zhou Xuan asked in his heart and soul: "How to decipher the Hundred Beasts in the Book of Will?"

As soon as the divination was asked, it began to snow in the temple. When the snow stopped and the sky cleared, there was no sign on the ground.

For the first time, the omniscient Xuejing also handed in a blank paper.

I don’t even know about the Blood Well, so there is really no solution to the Book of Will.

Zhou Xuan changed the question: "Where is the Sky God-level "Mountain Ancestor" now?"

The snow started to fall again.

This time, Xue Jing did not teach Bai Juan again, but wrote four words on the ground - sitting on the eighth and looking at the ninth.

Zhou Xuan had some stock of offerings in the blood well, the bulk of which was the flesh and blood of Marquis Peng, which was exactly eight out of nine.

Without thinking, he agreed to the blood well's request. Immediately, the sound of chewing bones and drinking blood could be heard in the temple. Even the Six Dings and Six Jias were no longer solemn and dignified, and their faces became more sinister.

This is the Blood Well enjoying the sacrifice from Peng Hou.

When the offerings are finished,
The magic weapons in the hands of the Six Dings and Six Jias flew and collided in the temple, and unexpectedly a painting scroll appeared. In the painting scroll was an abandoned ancient well.

The well mouth was covered. On the iron, rusty well cover, there were two lines of words - Huifeng Medical College, sealed in the twelfth year of Jingguo.

"Is Shanzu in this well in the medical school right now?"

Zhou Xuan felt that "after searching everywhere for something, it finally came to him without any effort". After searching for a long time, he found out that the ancestor of the mountain was actually in the medical school of Mingjiang Prefecture.

He threw away his sleeves, left the blood well, and returned to the real world.

At this time, Xiao Fuzi had already cooked a table full of dishes, including roasted wild rabbit legs, stir-fried rabbit offal, braised rabbit meat with bamboo shoots... It was a full rabbit banquet, and the Youshensi also sent someone to deliver rice wine, which had just been transported from Pingshui Prefecture.

The wine had been opened. Yun Ziliang happily poured himself a glass, and Zhao Wuya also poured himself a glass.
Zhou Xuan asked: "Ya Zi, can you monks drink alcohol?"

"I'm a Taoist priest!"

"Can Taoist priests drink it?"

"Master Yun... um... my great-grandmaster also drinks it, there's no taboo about it." Zhao Wuya lowered his head and drank in big gulps.

Judging from the bowed head, Zhou Xuan confirmed that the one who drank to satisfy his craving was not Yazi, but Zen Master Wuya.

This big monk also learned bad things and took advantage of the reputation of "Yazi" to drink heavily.

Smelling the aroma of food and wine, the Panshan Eagle also came,

The one-eyed, hunchbacked eagle slave first served Zhou Xuan soup, wine, and rice, and then used a big spoon to scoop the food for Zhou Xuan to eat.

"Lao Pan, I'm an adult and I can eat by myself."

"I'm used to serving the Eagle Master."

Pan Shanying carefully put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood behind Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan took two bites of rice and said to Pan Shanying, "You eat too."

"Master, eat me first and then you eat me."

"Cut the nonsense."

Zhou Xuan brought a bowl and chopsticks to Pan Shanying, served him some rice, and said, "Don't serve me rice in the future. I can serve myself. Eat."

After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he saw Panshanying holding the bowl and eating from a distance.

"Damn it, Lao Pan, you are a human being...you can sit at the table." Zhou Xuan said, pointing at the empty seat.

"Come and eat."

Yun Ziliang also pulled Pan Shanying to the table and filled his bowl with various wild delicacies and rabbit meat.

Pan Shanying no longer looked like the number one villain in Mingjiang Prefecture. He was very honest and simple-minded. He scratched his head and said, "This is my first time eating at the table. I'm not used to it."

"Lao Pan, you have maintained the order of Mingjiang Mansion very well these past two days. If you want a reward, go to the Youshen Division after dinner and pick two palm ginsengs. Just say that I asked you to go."

"There is Buddha's energy in that palm, it is so precious."

"If you don't have the Buddha's spirit, how can you still be called a chief minister? Just go when I tell you to go. If you keep nagging me next time, I will..." Zhou Xuan smiled and made a "shaking fist" gesture - Zhou Quan warning!
"Thank you, Master. Hehe."

"Eat slowly. All the food on the table has been ruined by you, kid." Zhou Xuan slapped "Big Kid and Third Kid" again.

The Panshan Eagle was very shy about eating, but the Red Ginseng Boy was much better. He sat at the table and ate his meal right away without anyone reminding him.

"You are a medicinal herb, not a glutton."

Zhou Xuan scolded.

……

When the table of dishes was finished, Panshanying went to Youshensi, Hongshen Tongzi continued to play with the kaleidoscope, and Zhou Xuan said to Yun Ziliang: "Old Yun, you and Yazi went to release the dragon for nothing today. The Mountain Ancestor is not in the sky, but here."

He pointed to the ground and said to Yun Ziliang.

"Here? Huifeng Medical College?"

"Yes."

Zhou Xuan said: "I went to the Blood Well to ask for divination, and the Blood Well gave me an answer. There is a sealed well in Huifeng Medical College. I think the Mountain Ancestor is in the well."

"A sealed well? Did the Bone Elders lock up the Mountain Ancestor?"

Yun Ziliang found that he had to re-examine the Bone Elders Association.

The first hall in Mingjiang Prefecture had previously blocked Miss Qiang, but now it was discovered that it had also blocked the Dragon Seeking God-level - how did this hall do it?

"I have to ask Lao Hua."

Zhou Xuan was just about to look for the painter when the painter arrived.

“Speaking of old paintings, here comes the old paintings.”

Zhou Xuan stepped forward and punched the painter in the chest. The punch was not strong, just a joking gesture between old friends to greet each other: "Old Hua, your Bone Association is amazing. You actually sealed the ancestor of Xunlong Mountain."

The painter looked confused, looked at Zhou Xuan, and said, "Master, don't talk nonsense. We don't have the ability to do that."

"Are you pretending to be confused?"

"I'm really confused." The painter said, "Who is the Dragon Seeker? He checks the sand, asks about the water, and travels to all the bad places in the world. Even the big talisman formation can't trap them. How can our Gu Laohui be so virtuous and capable that we can trap the Mountain Ancestor?"

Hearing this, Yun Ziliang stroked his beard and said, "Xuan Zi, what Lao Hua said makes sense. We are looking for the Dragon Heavenly Master, who walks like a dragon and steps like a tiger. Even the storyteller's dream may not be able to trap us, let alone the Bone Elder Society."

"When I asked for divination, the Blood Well clearly indicated that the Mountain Ancestor was imprisoned in the well of your Bone Elders' Association."

Zhou Xuan said.

"What kind of well?" the painter asked again.

Zhou Xuan then described the well, and at the end, he added: "There are words on the well cover: Huifeng Medical College, sealed in the twelfth year of the Jing Kingdom."

"Oh...you mean the well?"

The painter looked a little nervous and said, "We in the Bone Elders' Association don't even call that well a well."

"That's what it's called?"

"The Earth Abyss."

The painter said very seriously.

Zhao Wuya said rudely again: "It's a deep well, but why is it called the Abyss?"

"Master Wuya, that is truly the Earth Abyss."

The painter told everyone, "I heard that this abyss leads to 30,000 feet underground. There are extremely strange things in the abyss. Don't listen, don't hear, and don't look."

"It's getting more and more weird."

Zhao Wuya didn't buy the painter's trick and asked, "Where did the 30,000-foot abyss come from?"

“Dig it out.”

The painter said.

"Who dug it?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"He was once a mysterious scholar in our Bone Elders' Society." said the painter.

Everyone was a little surprised. What kind of mysterious scholar would be so crazy as to dig a 10,000-meter-deep "underground abyss" when he had nothing to do after eating?

The painter smiled and said, "In fact, sometimes, there is only one step between a great scholar and a madman. Isn't there a saying that genius is on the left and madman is on the right?"

Zhou Xuan was very interested and said, "Then tell me about the origin of this Earth Abyss."

The painter waved his hand and said, "I don't know much about Diyuan. Li Chengfeng, the great scholar, has done a lot of research on the history of Diyuan in the Bone Elders Association. I'll ask him to tell me about it."

At this point, the painter sent a secret letter, and soon a lantern with a book carved on it arrived quietly.

Li Chengfeng arrived, and when he learned that everyone was looking for the "past of the earth", he started talking.

"The great scholar who led the excavation of the Abyss is called Liu Pingyao. He has been obsessed with mystical theories all his life. He is a crazy person and he dares to think and act."

"That Liu Pingyao, one day, suddenly had an idea that the most secret place of the Well Country is underground. The deeper the underground, the deeper the secrets. He thought, wouldn't the Bone Elders spend their whole lives studying the secrets of the Well Country? There's no need to study, just dig a hole, a very deep hole."

As Li Chengfeng was talking, he felt that there was no charm, so he borrowed a folding fan from Zhou Xuan, and with a snap, he opened the fan and said, "From now on, the Diyuan Project will be officially launched."

"In the ninth year of Jingguo, Liu Pingyao found twelve strong men and started digging a hole."

"Xiangling Lishi is one of the four major tomb-robbing sects. Banshan Daoren, Xiangling Lishi, Faqiu Tianguan, Mojin Xiaowei... These four sects each have their own methods.
It is said that there are techniques for moving mountains, armor for removing mountains, seals for heavenly officials, and talismans for digging gold. The mountain-moving warriors have a magic weapon called the pangolin, which is a sharp armor that can be worn on the body to dig the earth like flying.

Li Chengfeng was addicted to storytelling. Since he didn't have a gavel in his hand, he could only slam the bamboo table with his bare palm.

"Bang!" Li Chengfeng stopped talking.

"Old Li, if you dare to say 'To know what happens next, please listen to the next chapter', I will kill you in a minute." Zhou Xuan threatened...

(End of this chapter)
