Day and night tour

Chapter 358: Wind Horse Swallow
Miss Wall gave the order to retreat.
The painter reached back for the bone chain that bound him, held it tightly in his hand, and looked at Zhou Xuan.

As long as Zhou Xuan gave the order, he would do as agreed beforehand - shake the hook chain, send a message to Zhao Wuya and Yun Ziliang who were guarding the entrance of the Diyuan Well, and restart the Tianguang Formation to prevent the evil creatures in the abyss from escaping.

After the formation was sealed, the painter and Zhou Xuan used methods such as "shape shifting" and "space laws" to escape.

But the more he waited for Zhou Xuan to move, the less movement Zhou Xuan made.

Zhou Xuan closed his eyes quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan, we have to leave. The thing in the abyss is trying to control us, and it is extremely powerful. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Miss Qiang was also calling Zhou Xuan loudly, and even went into the secret realm to see what Zhou Xuan was doing.

In the Black Water Secret Realm, the City God Temple representing the Blood Well was still suppressing the Mother of All Ghosts, but the other symbol of the Blood Well, the crimson moon, was no longer floating in the Black Water.
It hangs high in the sky, the moon is spinning, and from time to time it splashes out red sparks.
Those sparks were like fireworks all over the sky, interweaving patterns in the air, first forming three waves, representing the wind in nature.

Fireworks like the wind, when scattered in the air, condensed into the shape of a "steed". After running in the black water for a long time, the horse suddenly jumped and turned into countless colorful swallows... The colorful swallows flowed, and when the light went out, they split into two... A colorful swallow split into two black sparrows, chirping non-stop,
When these visions disappear,

A bamboo stick-like thing grew out of the black water and grew to about a foot tall.
A wave rolled up in the black water.

The black wave turned into a human hand, grasped the bamboo stick, and exerted fierce force, actually crushing the bamboo stick... Boom, after a loud bang, the outer shell of the bamboo stick collapsed, revealing a stick of incense.

"The fifth incense stick?"

Miss Qiang finally understood why Zhou Xuan did not respond. In this strange place in the Abyss, he actually realized the opportunity of the fifth incense stick.

"But what is the entrance of the fifth incense stick?"

Miss Wall is the "Mother Wall of Sighs" who has lived in Jing Country for more than 2,000 years. She is very familiar with all the major halls in Jing Country.

Whether it was the nine ancient halls renowned in Jing Country or the other miscellaneous small halls, she had seen the characteristics of those halls.

But she had never seen this temple with "wind, horse, swallow and sparrow" as its symbols and bamboo sticks as incense.

Miss Qiang racked her brains for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, but she figured out an important point - the most important thing now was not to figure out which hall Zhou Xuan's fifth incense stick belonged to, but to wake Zhou Xuan up quickly and retreat immediately.

"Ah Xuan, don't worry about lighting the fifth incense stick for now. We have to find a way..." Miss Qiang urged.

Zhou Xuan finally spoke up and said, "I didn't light the fifth incense stick. I was trying to figure out where those whispers were coming from."

"Where else can it come from? From the depths of the earth."

Miss Wall said anxiously.

The painter also asked Zhou Xuan: "Master, how about shaking this bone lock immediately and asking Dao Master Zhao and Dao Master Yun to seal the formation?"

"Don't worry."

Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand to block the painter. He looked at Miss Qiang and said, "You said that the power held by the Mother of the Earth Abyss comes from outside the incense and fire way?"

"Yes, similar to the mind control of our Flesh and Blood Dynasty."

Miss Qiang said, "The people of the Divine Dynasty have extremely strong mental power, especially the main brain. If you encounter him, he can create sounds and illusions in your mental world, and even directly trigger some extreme emotions that drive you crazy."

"now it's right."

Zhou Xuan said: "The old scholar-like whisper just now was not direct mental control."

"That is?"

"Like you said not long ago, use the form of perception to imitate mind control - just like the storyteller's dream." Zhou Xuan said.

Miss Qiang immediately expressed surprise and asked, "Can you tell the difference?"

"I am the disciple of the storyteller." Zhou Xuan explained: "To understand the storyteller's dream, it is the foundation of the foundation for our sect."

"It's not basic." The painter added in time: "Master, I have been in the martial arts world for many years, and the number of storytellers who can distinguish the storyteller's dream in an instant is probably counted on one hand..."

This is what a genius is like. He thinks simple things are not difficult, and he thinks that everyone can do them by analogy. Zhou Xuan also fell into this misunderstanding.

Zhou Xuan continued, "Since it's not the sound coming from the Earth Abyss, then the whispering sound - I'm afraid it came from the Mountain Ancestor."

In the abyss, the only thing that can be confirmed to exist is the great evil creature whose origin is unknown, and the god-level "Mountain Ancestor" of Xunlong Hall.

That great evil creature cannot be defeated by human means. The only person who can use the human means of Jingguo can be the Mountain Ancestor.

"May I ask who the senior is?"

When the whispering voice of "The wonder of the Three Purities is to gather strength; the mystery of heaven and earth is to know change" sounded in his body again, Zhou Xuan activated his own perception.

The perception, carrying Zhou Xuan's voice, blended with the whispering sound. Zhou Xuan was communicating with the "whispering old scholar".

This time, we are on the same channel.
The owner of the whispering voice first said "Huh", showing his surprise, and then said: "I am the Taoist Sky God, and you are a scholar of the Bone Elders Association. If so, then come to the Abyss of the Earth, and I will teach you the supreme magic to understand the mysteries of heaven and earth."

"There are twenty-four gods in the sky, which one are you?"

"Looking for dragons and mountain ancestors."

A young voice came from Zhou Xuan's heart.

Zhou Xuan immediately became suspicious. Why did the Mountain Ancestor's voice sound so young?

"How do you make me believe that you are the Mountain Ancestor?"

"I can't make you believe it, but if you come to the end of the abyss, I will definitely make you believe it."

Shan Zu seemed very confident and said, "The wonder of the world lies in knowing change. Everything is changing all the time. If I can know how things will change in the future, then I will always be calm and confident in my actions. This is the way to know change.
Young scholar, this is the great law of heaven and earth, are you willing to learn it?"

Zhou Xuan had some feeling... He felt that this Mountain Ancestor was not like a Mountain Ancestor, but more like a trap set by the Abyss... specifically designed to lure those who were willing to "learn supernatural powers" and lure them into the depths of the Abyss.

If we rashly go in to look for the Mountain Ancestor, we might get into trouble.

But knowing it was a trap, Zhou Xuan still planned to find out the truth, so he took the initiative to play a trick on Shan Zu.

Zhou Xuan immediately became stubborn and shook his head and said, "The way of heaven and earth, knowing how to change and magical powers, I just want to ask one question, can I achieve immortality?"

"Life span is determined by heaven, and one cannot live forever."

"If you can't live forever, don't learn, don't learn."

"I have the methods of riding dragons, finding dragons, and borrowing dragon power. The power of the earth will be transferred to you. You will be like streams and mountains. With one person's power, you can defeat hundreds of halls and tens of thousands of disciples. Are you willing to learn?"

"The method of riding a dragon, gathering power within one's body, can that lead to immortality?"

"You are stubborn, right? I told you that your life span is determined by heaven, and you cannot live forever."

Shan Zu was getting impatient and started to get angry: "You don't want to learn this, you don't want to learn that, what are you doing in Diyuan? Go back!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and nodded to the painter and Miss Qiang.

They have been provoking the Mountain Ancestor for so long, but the Mountain Ancestor can only get angry but cannot come to hurt them - this shows that this Mountain Ancestor, whether real or fake, is a poor creature trapped in the depths of the earth.

He can't get out!

Knowing that Shan Zu couldn't get out, Zhou Xuan became even more relaxed. He began to fight back against Shan Zu with words, saying, "You can't live forever with this, and you can't live forever with that. How dare you say you are a Taoist god?"

"You just don't know what I'm talking about. Who is your teacher? Ask him to come over and see if I am a Taoist god."

"I don't think you have any real skills."

Zhou Xuan crossed his arms and sneered, "Why not, I'll teach you the way to longevity. Listen carefully - know the masculine and keep the feminine, and you will be the stream of the world; know the honor and keep the disgrace, and you will be the valley of the world; know the black and keep the white, and you will be the style of the world!"

After these words were spoken, Shan Zu fell silent.

Silence returned to the abyss. It was unknown how much time had passed before the Mountain Ancestor's whispers reached Zhou Xuan's ears.

"May I ask if the person coming here is Zhou Xuan from Mingjiang Prefecture?"

"Yes."

Zhou Xuan agreed to it. Whether it was a trap or not, the Mountain Ancestor could not move and was trapped in the abyss. Zhou Xuan acknowledged his title and there was no trouble.

"You three have entered the abyss, so go back the way you came. I, the Mountain Ancestor, was greedy and mistakenly entered this abyss. It is my own fault and I have become an accomplice of others. However, no matter how courageous I am, I dare not plot against the disciples of the Dao Ancestor..."

"What the Mountain Ancestor said is true."

"If I tell you to leave, leave quickly... before the things in the abyss come back."

Shanzu began to urge.

"How do you know I am a disciple of Daozu? How do you know my name?"

"Although the Abyss is ten thousand meters underground, if there is any major movement in Mingjiang Mansion, we can still get the news here..."

"Snap... snap!" The sound of whipping suddenly rang out.

“…Ah…stop hitting me…”

When Shanzu spoke the second half of the sentence, there was a sound of "whipping". He seemed to be in great torture and kept screaming.

Zhou Xuan recalled what the Mountain Ancestor had said not long ago, "I, the Mountain Ancestor, mistakenly entered this abyss and became someone else's accomplice." It seemed that this Mountain Ancestor might not be a fake, but he was indeed an accomplice of the Diyuan who was stationed here by the Diyuan, specifically to lure people into the Diyuan and help the Diyuan catch "food."

"Shan Zu, I want to rebuild Mingjiang Prefecture and lay down the Heavenly Book of Will. I need the permission of six gods. Now, there is only one left, and that is you. Can you sign your name on my Heavenly Book?"

"I can't sign... My divine power has been imprisoned by the abyss... Unless..."

"Crack! Crack!"

"Stop smoking, stop smoking, Diyuan. I work hard for the evildoers every day. Stop smoking... If you want me to sign my name... you have to rescue me..."

Snapped!Snapped!
The sound of whipping was incessant. Shan Zu stopped talking and no sound of whispers could be heard.

The painter waited for a long time and asked Zhou Xuan: "Master, what should we do next?"

Through the words of the Mountain Ancestor, it has been confirmed that there is indeed something in the abyss of the earth, and this thing is extremely powerful, and can even imprison the Mountain Ancestor.

If they want to save the Mountain Ancestor, they have to become the enemy of that thing. With the three of them, Painter, Zhou Xuan, and Miss Qiang, can they defeat the thing under the abyss?

"We still need help."

Zhou Xuan said.

He also felt that with his, the painter's, abilities, it might not be enough to save Shan Zu.

"Who else can go down to the abyss?" the painter asked Zhou Xuan.

In the abyss, the wandering gods' lanterns are forbidden to travel. At a depth of tens of thousands meters, relying on bone hooks to climb is not only troublesome, but if they really want to fight, the wandering gods in Mingjiang Mansion cannot stay in the air and have nowhere to exert their strength. If they really fight, they may even make things worse.

"Old Cloud."

Zhou Xuan said: "I walk like a dragon and step like a tiger, and can move freely in the depths of the abyss. Lao Yun is also a dragon-seeking celestial master, and his footwork is better than mine. If he can go down to the abyss, we will have found a good helper."

"But Mr. Yun... the incense is no longer as glorious as it used to be..."

"There is a red ginseng boy."

Zhou Xuan started to think about it.

As for the red ginseng boy, it is very precious in the current situation.
If no way to deal with "Bifang" can be found, Yuan Buyu can only rely on the boy to carry the curse if he wants to live longer. If he gives the boy to Yun Ziliang now, what should he do when he needs the boy again in the future?
"We need to find Shanzu to get the truth."

Zhou Xuan thought of this and waited for Shanzu's private words.

"I told you to leave... why aren't you leaving yet? Do you really want to wait for that thing in the abyss to come back?"

Zhou Xuan seized the opportunity and asked hurriedly: "Shanzu, we want to save you, but you need to provide value - do you have a way to deal with Bifang?"

"Who?"

"Bifang."

"The storyteller god? Do you know who he is... He is my beloved colleague, brother..."

"If you want to put forward conditions, then we will just let it go. You are a god-level being, so just continue to be Diyuan's lackey."

After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he pretended to leave.

"I have a great way to deal with Bifang."

The Mountain Ancestor's whispered voice came through in a very low volume this time, probably because he was afraid of being punished by the Earth Abyss.

I dare not speak loudly, for fear of alarming the people below.

“You’d better think it through first.” Zhou Xuan said, “You are also a Taoist figure. I am the disciple of the Taoist master. I have no intention of taking away your godhood. But if you lie to me, I, Zhou Xuan, am a man who dares to kill gods.”

The threat in the words was very strong.

But Shan Zu was still confident and said, "I know a lot about you. You want to deal with Bifang because he has united seventeen gods and cursed you in the Book of Heaven."

"and then?"

"You want to remove the curse of the Heavenly Book, right? The curse of the Heavenly Book cannot be removed, but if you kill Bifang, the holder of the Heavenly Book will die, and all the wishes in the Heavenly Book will be cleared."

"It's a coincidence that the way to kill Bifang is not elsewhere, but in the abyss of the earth."

"Is there a way in the abyss? What is it?"

"Wind horse swallow."

Shan Zu spoke these four words even more quietly, the volume was as soft as a mosquito's whistle, if Zhou Xuan didn't listen carefully, he really couldn't hear it clearly.

Wind horse, swallow and sparrow?

Zhou Xuan silently repeated these four words - isn't this the strange phenomenon that occurred in the secret realm after his fifth incense stick opportunity was triggered?
"What do Fengma Yanque represent?"

"A hall, a hall that has been lost in Jing Country for many years. The means of this hall can restrain Bifang."

At this point, Shan Zu said in a very low voice: "I have given you a method. Whether you can save me or not depends entirely on your intentions—"

"Fengma Yanque, how much do you know about this hall?"

"Many, many... I was imprisoned by these bastards and became their lackey for decades." Shanzu said viciously.

"I'll contact them now."

When Zhou Xuan talked about this, he had already made a decision in his heart. He immediately took Miss Qiang and the painter and evacuated to 3,000 meters away from the mouth of the Diyuan well.

At three thousand meters, Zhou Xuan and the painter's perception was restored.

Zhou Xuan used his perception to transmit a message to the painter, saying, "The Mountain Ancestor is extremely important. I will rescue him even if I have to sacrifice the Red Ginseng Boy."

"What if his method against Bifang is ineffective?" the painter worriedly asked.

"Then kill him."

Zhou Xuan said: "This is our bet. If he can deal with Bifang, I will keep him. If not, I will kill him, seize his godhood, and imprison his soul in my secret realm."

"What's the point of keeping his soul?"

"It's a wind horse, a swallow."

Zhou Xuan said: "This hall is too mysterious. Miss Qiang doesn't know which hall it is. I lit the incense of this hall. If there is no one who knows this hall to guide me, I am afraid that I will never be able to cultivate with this incense stick in my lifetime."

"I think the master's plan is very careful, so let's do it this way."

The painter agreed and went down to the abyss of the earth to rescue the Mountain Ancestor.

"Wait for me here. I will take Lao Yun into the well."

Zhou Xuan's soul traveled away...

……

After Zhou Xuan's spirit appeared at the mouth of the well in the Earth Abyss, it changed its form again, revealing its true form, and said to Yun Ziliang: "Old Yun - the Mountain Ancestor is in the deepest part of the Earth Abyss. He was imprisoned and has been a ghost for decades."

"Ah? Are the things under the abyss so cruel?"

"Maybe it's not cruelty, but special skills."

Zhou Xuan told Yun Ziliang what Miss Qiang said.

Yun Ziliang immediately understood - the Mother of the Earth Abyss had methods that the people of Youjing did not have.

"Lao Yun, come on, follow me down the well to save the Mountain Ancestor."

"Me? Save Shanzu?"

Yun Ziliang poked his nose, looking incredulous.

"Use the Red Ginseng Boy to restore your body and rekindle your dragon-seeking journey." Zhou Xuan said.

"This boy must be kept for your master..." Yun Ziliang said.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Use it."

Zhou Xuan preached again.

"Then I won't be polite."

With his body damaged for three hundred years, Yun Ziliang, a dragon-seeking Taoist priest, had to hide in paintings. Such frustrating days almost wore out his last bit of confidence.

Now, the method of restoring the body is within reach, Yun Ziliang is of course excited, he rubs his hands, and says to "Big Boy and Third Boy" with a smile: "My apologies, kids..."

The Red Ginseng Boy immediately sat down on the ground dejectedly.

"Alas, you still have to die."

"Big Baby, there's nothing good about being alive."

"Not necessarily. There's a kaleidoscope to play with."

"Stop talking about that, let's say goodbye."

The eldest and third sons suddenly looked as if they were ready to die. They clenched their fists and tried to encourage themselves.

"Ouch!"

"what!"

"Big boy, let's be good brothers in the next life."

"Yeah." The eldest boy controlled the boy's right hand and clenched his fist to show his agreement.

"Stop talking nonsense, Xuejing, bring these two kids in and let them know what it means to die of entertainment."

As Zhou Xuan gave an order, a red light flashed between his eyebrows. The Blood Well Hand stretched out and captured the souls of "Big Boy and Third Boy" from the Red Ginseng Boy and brought them into the secret realm.

Without a soul, the Red Ginseng Boy lost his vitality and became a red human-shaped ginseng. Lao Yun ate it in big mouthfuls without any psychological burden.

He ate with relish, his body glowed red, and the vitality of his broken body was rapidly recovering.

Zhou Xuan was not idle either, and asked Li Chengfeng: "Old Li, you are a great scholar of the gods, and you are well-informed. I want to ask you, is there a sect in Jing Country that uses "wind horse, swallow and sparrow" as its symbol..."

"What? What's that?"

Li Chengfeng's eyes were filled with a sense of clarity "without any intellectual impurities", and it was obvious that he was not aware of the existence of this hall.

"It seems as I speculated, no matter whether the Mountain Ancestor has a way to kill Bifang or not, he must capture his soul. The Fifth Incense Hall is too strange. Without this hall guide, I'm afraid there won't be another person in the world who knows how to practice this hall."

Zhou Xuan was in deep thought while looking at Yun Ziliang.

The red ginseng boy had completely swallowed it, and the light flashing on Yun Ziliang's body was no longer red, but the golden light of a big dragon.

As dragons continued to roar in the sky, the former Nine-Incense Sticks Dragon-Seeking Heavenly Master of Canglong Mountain had returned to his position.

"Without the spirit of seeking dragons, one cannot see the real dragon. Pointing at acupoints can reveal the ancestors of the mountains. In the sky, one can see the true sect."

Yun Ziliang has always been easy-going in life, but at this moment, a hint of dominance emerged in his eyes.

He pointed in the direction of Jingchuan Prefecture with one hand and said, "Jingshan Great Dragon, I, Yun Ziliang, have seen the light of day again. Where are you hiding? Come to see me quickly."

Boom! In the distant Jingchuan Prefecture, a dragon-shaped lightning struck...
