Day and night tour

Chapter 357 The Fifth Incense Stick
The abyss of the earth is 10,000 meters underground, and this is also the place where Liu Pingyao, a scholar of the Bone Lao Society, and Xiangling Lishi had an accident.

Therefore, Zhou Xuan, in a cautious manner, did not reach the end of the earth's abyss directly, but patrolled from place to place.

In the first 7,000-meter section, he swam at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time released his perception and penetrated into the monster space.

Perception connects Zhou Xuan and the painter together.
The two of them almost moved forward and backward together.

"Sir, I haven't sensed any evil aura along the way."

The unknown always brings people greater fear, which even exceeds "fear" itself.

Now, the two of them have been walking in the abyss for a long time. They don't feel overly depressed, but more of a feeling of loneliness, like walking in the boundless starry sky. There is no sound around them, it is too quiet, Zhou Xuan and the painter can even easily hear their own breathing.

"We can't take it lightly either."

Zhou Xuan did not dare to retract his perception and still maintained a high-intensity release.

His perception was scanning the surroundings at an extremely high frequency - the traces left on the walls of the abyss.

When Liu Pingyao was digging deep into the abyss, he marked the depth and hammered extremely long nails into the wall of the abyss every one thousand meters.

One nail represents one thousand meters.

At 7,000 meters, there are seven nails on the wall of the abyss.

"There are still three thousand meters left. So far, no trace of the Mountain Ancestor or the evil creature has been found."

Zhou Xuan sensed the depth marked by the nail and said to the painter.

"Let's keep going."

The painter said firmly.

Zhou Xuan rejected the painter's suggestion and said, "I will go forward, you wait here for me."

"Why?" asked the painter.

Zhou Xuan stared into the abyss underground and said, "The rest of the road is a bit strange. My perception probed over there, like a slender probe stuck into a sticky mud pit, and I couldn't detect anything."

In the pitch-black cave, perception is Zhou Xuan, the painter's eyes. If his eyes are blinded, it would be like a blind person walking on the road at night - walking blindly.

"I am a spirit, I am more concealed, it is more appropriate for me to go in front."

After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he opened up a gap of hundreds of meters between himself and the painter, with Zhou Xuan in front and the painter behind.

“It’s almost 8,000 meters.”

Zhou Xuan's perception, which was comparable to that of a god, was rapidly shortening the detection distance in the abyss. When he was only 20 to 30 meters away from the 8,000-meter marking nail, he could perceive the shape of the nail very clearly.

He swam forward again, and when his soul passed the 8,000-meter track spikes, a strange scene appeared.

Zhou Xuan's wrist suddenly felt relaxed.

He was extremely familiar with this feeling; it was the connection to the ancestral tree being forcibly severed.

Waves of intense whispering flooded into Zhou Xuan's ears.

"Don't come near me, go back quickly."

"Don't come near me, go back quickly."

In addition to these repetitive words, he also heard the sound of a baby crying.

"Wow, wow, wow."

The crying was very violent, which made Zhou Xuan upset. As he cried, his excellent perception disappeared. He could not even detect the object outside the body, let alone detect the object at a distance of ten or twenty meters.

Zhou Xuan immediately stopped his daily swim and hung in the abyss of eight thousand meters.

The painter also ignited the Dao Flame, got out of the ghost space, and asked Zhou Xuan: "Master, what's wrong?"

"Did you hear the baby crying?"

Zhou Xuan asked, tilting his head.

"Crying? No."

The painter shook his head.

Zhou Xuan asked again: "Did you hear the whispers of "No males allowed near me"?"

"nor."

The painter said again.

"Is your perception still there?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"It's long gone."

The painter smiled bitterly.

He and Zhou Xuan went down to the abyss together, but their personal performances were very different.

Zhou Xuan said, "There is something strange going on eight thousand feet below. I heard a baby crying and whispering. The crying and whispering interfered with my perception. If there is an evil thing under the abyss, it should not be too far away from us."

"Shall we continue?"

The painter asked again.

"Down."

Zhou Xuan said: "I brought my real body here, so my perception is useless. For the rest of the journey, we can only rely on our own eyes and ears."

He is the Blood Well Psychic, and the one with the strongest perception among all the psychics.

A psychic's perception is extremely strong, and his five senses are also very sharp. His eyesight and hearing are far beyond those of ordinary people.

"Lao Hua, you retreat to the 8,000-foot mark. I'm going to change my form."

Zhou Xuan has confirmed that the safe distance under the abyss is before 8,000 feet. If Lao Hua retreats 8,000 meters, his life will not be threatened.

Painters like Zhou Xuan did as he was told.

Zhou Xuan used the technique of shape-shifting. During the waiting process, the painter had a very strange feeling - he felt protected.

After going down to the Abyss, Zhou Xuan took the lead in everything, and his priesthood of "Eight Incense Sticks" was surprisingly well protected.

This feeling actually reminded the painter of his youth when he had just entered the Bone Elders Association.

At that time, the painter's teacher was like Zhou Xuan today, protecting the painter's growth with his wings.

"Perhaps this is the personality charm of the great master."

The painter recalled various past events. Whether it was the Mingjiang flood or the Mingjiang fire, Zhou Xuan always seemed to appear in the most dangerous places.

"Leave the most dangerous places to me."

Zhou Xuan always does this, which is one of the main reasons why the wandering gods in Mingjiang Prefecture are becoming more and more convinced of Zhou Xuan.

Even though Zhou Xuan only burns five incense sticks now.

"Lao Hua, what are you daydreaming about?"

After Zhou Xuan "changed his form", his soul traveled again and his real body appeared at a depth of eight thousand feet in the abyss. Seeing the painter in a daze, he couldn't help but slap the old painter on the back of his head.

"Hey, I was distracted just now."

The painter said embarrassedly.

"You are on vacation here, this is the abyss!"

Zhou Xuan warned again that in a place like this, if you are not focused at all, not to mention being absent-minded, you might be chilled to death by some evil creature.

"Lao Hua, you are so brave. Just follow me."

After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he stepped on the wall of the abyss with his hands and feet, and moved freely like a gecko.

This left the painter stunned.

The Diyuan is not a wide road, but a passage that goes straight down to the center of the earth in Jingguo.

He understood that Zhou Xuan could come and go freely in the Abyss of the Earth by relying on the daily travel of his soul, but now - Zhou Xuan's real body came here, and he didn't use the method of daily travel, so how could he move so freely in the Abyss of the Earth.

"Mr. Big, what kind of light body technique is this?"

asked the painter.

"My third stick of incense is from the Dragon Seeking and Sensing Sect."

Zhou Xuan patted his legs and said, "The essence of the induction school is the footwork. The induction school is like a dragon walking like a tiger, with light body movements and exquisite footwork. It is like walking on flat ground when crossing mountains and streams, and it is no problem to climb pits and go down caves."

Walking like a dragon and stepping like a tiger is a light body movement technique, and is also a domineering method used by the Induction School to dominate the world.

If they are in an area with streams and mountains, the Induction School can borrow the dragon power all over the mountains, move forward like a dragon, and then step out with the momentum of a tiger, and with one foot they can stop the opponent's "power".

For disciples of Xianghuo Shendao, the most important thing when it comes to taking the lead is "momentum". If their momentum is hindered, it is only a matter of time before they are defeated in Xunlong Hall.

"This Dragon Seeking and Sensing School really has some secrets. It is different from the acupuncture point pressing school."

"Don't you think about it? Three hundred years ago, when Lao Yun was invincible in the Taoist sect, who among the major Taoist sects could defeat him, except for those Taoist ancestors who were in the closed-door life and death view?"

Zhou Xuan's real body walked freely on the wall of the abyss with the steps of a dragon and a tiger. He felt more solid than the daytime tour and was more confident about the unknown journey to the abyss.

There is another main reason for the increased confidence - there is a secret realm in Zhou Xuan's real body. His real body went down into the abyss, and in that secret realm, there is an arsenal of weapons.

"Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan, this abyss is not a dead cave, but a living thing."

In the secret realm, Miss Wall was playing "Monopoly" with the human brains of the Blood Well. Recently, the main brain of the Buddha Kingdom has also gotten better. In the past, it was always despised by Miss Wall, but now, it can also sit at the table and play games.

When everyone was having a great time, Miss Qiang suddenly felt a strange sign of life, so she used her consciousness to drill out along the center of Zhou Xuan's eyebrows. When she came out, she felt that the abyss was "alive".

"Live?"

"Correct."

Miss Wall is the "Mother of Flesh and Blood" of the Bone Elders Association, and has a very high level of perception and understanding of life. She said to Zhou Xuan: "Ah Xuan, put your hand on the wall of the abyss, and I will magnify the signs of life for you."

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he immediately put his palms on the wall.

He only felt that the wall was wet and sticky.

Miss Qiang's consciousness attached itself to Zhou Xuan's palm, and immediately... a very strange feeling was captured by Zhou Xuan's palm.

The feeling is like - holding a water pipe with your hand, with no water in the pipe, and then suddenly someone opens the gate, and a strong stream of water rushes out of the pipe.

"There seems to be an undercurrent flowing within the wall."

"That's not an undercurrent, that's the blood vessels of the abyss."

"Forehead……"

Zhou Xuan was a little surprised, and at this moment, he felt the beating in his palm again. The beating was very slight, as if the soil on the wall of the abyss covered by his palm suddenly hardened, then pumped a little, and became limp again.

"The ground seems to be moving."

"This is fetal movement. Don't you have any experience in this area?" asked Miss Qiang.

Zhou Xuan: “…”

I have never given birth to a baby, so how would I know what fetal movement feels like?

Zhou Xuan said: "Miss Qiang, this is to say that the Earth Abyss is a huge mother body, and she is pregnant?"

"Yes."

Miss Wall said: "This fetus is extraordinary. We are walking on its mother's body, and it can feel... that we are coming."

"What is the origin of this fetus? Can you analyze it?"

Zhou Xuan asked again.

Regarding the strange and extremely powerful fetus in Jing State, Zhou Xuan only knew one kind, that is - the offspring of a god.

There are many kinds of offspring of gods. The four types of people who can reach the god level, such as the Great Buddha, the evil god, the god, and the White Walker, when they have intercourse with each other, the offspring born are all considered "offspring of gods."

"They are a species more advanced than the offspring of gods."

Miss Qiang said: "This mother body has power fluctuations beyond the incense and fire gods. The frequency of the fluctuations is a bit like... a bit like..."

"like what?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

"Like the main brain consciousness of our Flesh and Blood Dynasty."

Miss Qiang felt that her words were very abstract, so she explained,

"The Buddha Kingdom, the Well Kingdom, and the Flesh and Blood Dynasty all have different power attributes. The Buddha Kingdom cultivates the golden body, using the Buddha's energy to create a Buddha image in the body. The Well Kingdom cultivates the incense and fire divine way, sensing the origin of the incense and fire between heaven and earth, and replicating the incense and fire in the body. The ability of our Flesh and Blood Dynasty is to control spiritual consciousness.

And this Earth Abyss Matrix has the ability to control spiritual consciousness. You all felt the crying and whispering just now, right?"

"I feel it." Zhou Xuan nodded.

"……"painter.

The painter said with a bitter face: "Is it because my cultivation level is too weak that I can't hear anything?"

This priest of the Bone Elders Association, whose cultivation level is close to the highest level in the human world, is now doubting his own level of cultivation.
"Don't burn my eight incense sticks, they are fake." The painter said with great regret.

"Let me think about it..." Miss Wall started to calculate in the black water of the secret realm. Endless symbols were calculating on the black water.

When in doubt, frantically calculating,
Miss Qiang quickly calculated the result and said happily: "I know. If I hadn't entered this abyss, I would never have thought about calculating the questions raised by the painter. Now, many doubts can be solved."

"How to say?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

Miss Qiang's consciousness condensed into a little person on Zhou Xuan's arm, sitting sideways on the edge of his palm, and said: "The perception of the Jing country is very strong, but the spiritual perception is the weakest. Because of this weakness, Diyuan's spiritual control power is ineffective for many Jing people."

"The whispers and cries are all from the mind control of the abyss. Painter, your mental sensitivity is too weak, almost non-existent, so the mind control cannot control you."

Zhou Xuan, painter: "..."

Is this what they call “a fool defeats an expert”?
The painter asked again: "The master is also from Jing country, why can he hear it?"

"The Blood Well Psychics are a group with extremely strong perception and mental power. In your Well Country, they are considered... um... how should I put it... oh yeah... deformed."

“……”Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan: "Ms. Qiang, why do you speak as rudely as Yazi?"

Miss Qiang continued, "In the Jing Kingdom, the storyteller's hall is actually using perception to simulate mental control, which belongs to the category of mental control.

The people of Jing Country do not have enough mental perception, and they usually do not think about how to counter mental control. Therefore, once they are controlled by the storyteller, it is difficult for them to have any means to counter. In the final analysis, it is still due to lack of experience. "

"According to my deduction, the nemesis of the storyteller's sect is not in the Jing Kingdom, but in our Flesh and Blood Dynasty. We have many means to counter this kind of mental control, such as..."

Zhou Xuan: "Don't make any comparisons, Miss Qiang. You must stay out of the storyteller's business."

Oh my god, if Miss Wall really told this method to others, and if there are ears on the other side of the wall, the storyteller's gang would be ruined on the spot.

"let it go."

Miss Qiang shut up obediently.

The painter asked again: "Which means that Liu Pingyao back then was most likely also a psychic of the Blood Well?"

"Being able to sense the whispers of the Earth Mother from a long distance shows that his spiritual sensitivity is very strong. He should be the Blood Well Psychic." Miss Qiang said.

The painter had a new question: "That's not right. According to the records of the Bone Elders' Earth Abyss Project, Liu Pingyao heard the whispers at 7,000 meters, while the Master heard the whispers at 8,000 meters. Does this mean that Liu Pingyao's perception and mental strength are better than the Master's?

With such strong perception and mental power, how could he hide his identity as the 'Blood Well Psychic' in the Bone Elders' Association? "

Miss Qiang immediately put her hands on her hips, sighed and said, "Painter, you have no wisdom. From now on, listen to what I am saying."

As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Wall began to speak, but she just spoke without making any sound. The painter shook his head like a rattle and said, "I can't hear you clearly."

"Isn't this right?"

Miss Wall's little man jumped onto the painter's shoulder, grabbed the painter's ears with both hands, and said fiercely: "The sound made by the Earth Abyss Matrix is ​​not ordinary. Sometimes she whispers, and sometimes she shouts. How can you judge who has a stronger perception between Liu Pingyao and Ah Xuan just by the distance of hearing the whispers?"

"I know, I know, stop yelling, or you'll go deaf."

The painter begged for mercy again and again.

Zhou Xuan said, "Then Miss Qiang, shall we continue to go deeper into the abyss?"

"Let's go a little further."

Miss Qiang said, "There is a mother body and a mother womb in the abyss. In the innermost part of the mother womb, there is a fetus whose origin is unknown. We are still very far away from the fetus. Let's get closer and feel it. I am here to make sure you are all right."

Miss Wall is like her algorithm. She is like a robot. She will calculate everything before encountering any difficult problem.
But there is also an advantage, that is, Miss Wall never takes risks. If she says it's okay, then it must be okay.

Zhou Xuan and the painter once again headed deeper into the earth.

Because the perception ability can no longer function, the painter can only rely on lighting a ball of Taoist fire every once in a while and using the firelight to illuminate the road ahead.

As Zhou Xuan walked, he asked Miss Qiang: "Do you think the mother body of the Earth Abyss will be very powerful?"

"Definitely."

Miss Qiang said: "The people of Jingguo have weak spiritual perception, but when they went down to the abyss, those mental fools - the twelve Leiling strongmen, were still controlled by the mother body's spirit at 10,000 meters."

"Didn't you say that people like us can't be controlled?" asked the painter.

"Generally speaking, it is difficult to control you, but if the Matrix's mental control is strong enough, it can still control you. You just have poor mental sensitivity, but it is not nonexistent."

Miss Qiang said this and continued, "Perhaps, the mental control power of this matrix is ​​no less than that of the main brain of our Flesh and Blood Dynasty."

“Is it that powerful?”

When Zhou Xuan asked back, he had already passed the "nine thousand meters" mark.

The nine nails on the wall looked like a terrifying sign, as if saying: Forbidden area ahead, do not enter.

But Zhou Xuan still resolutely crossed the "nine thousand meters" mark.

"The Tao that can be spoken is not the real Tao; the name that can be named is not the real name... Who can comprehend the profound meaning of the Taoist Scripture?"

"The source of incense from heaven, incense is the beginning of heaven and earth."

“The wonder of the Three Pure Ones lies in gathering their power; the mystery of heaven and earth lies in knowing how to change.”

"Everyone knows how to gather power, but none of them are proficient in it. Few people understand how to change the power of magic."

One after another, the whispers filled Zhou Xuan's ears.
Different from the horror of "Stranger stay away, baby crying",
The sound of these whispers was more like an old scholar giving a lecture in a private school. The first lesson of the lecture was to throw out all the ultimate propositions to arouse the curiosity of the students.

After Zhou Xuan heard these whispers, suddenly - a ball of sparks flashed in his secret realm.

That spark was like a fleeting glimpse, fleeting, but Zhou Xuan clearly sensed that this was the opportunity of the "fifth incense stick".

After he passed the questioning and testing of Daozu and comprehended the "World Style" and thoroughly mastered the true teachings of Xigu, he went through the four-incense-stick promotion ceremony. However, in the past few days, the opportunity for the fifth incense stick has not arrived.

But he could never have imagined that nine thousand meters into the abyss, he would encounter the opportunity of the fifth incense stick.

"The fifth stick of incense, which hall will I go to?"

Zhou Xuan asked to himself.

While he was lost in thought, the painter, as if he had seen something terrifying, turned his head and said to Miss Wall: "Miss Wall, I... this time... I also heard the whispers."

"Can you hear it?" Miss Wall asked quickly.

“The wonder of the Three Pure Ones lies in gathering their power; the mystery of heaven and earth lies in knowing how to change.”

The painter repeated what he heard whispered,
Miss Qiang panicked immediately and shouted: "Ah Xuan, retreat! The mother body of the Earth Abyss is controlling us. It... may be more powerful than the main brain of the Flesh and Blood Dynasty."
