Day and night tour

Chapter 359 Heavenly Ghost Realm

Lightning turns into a dragon. The dragon has five claws and is covered with colorful dragon scales. The tips of its claws actually emit golden lightning.

The Jingchuan dragon rose from Jingshan Mountain, and wherever it passed, heavy rain poured down.

If mortals look up, they can only see a few fragments of it through the clouds.

"The dragon is hiding."

Yun Ziliang no longer looked as miserable as before. He touched the ground with his toes and soared ten feet into the air, almost reaching the "wellhead" of the stone chamber.
The huge lightning dragon flew towards Yun Ziliang's sleeves, and its huge body of hundreds of feet turned into a golden dragon pattern about one foot long, which began to swim on Lao Yun's Taoist robe.

"So this is what it means to hide a dragon in one's body?"

When Zhou Xuan saw this, he remembered the "Ancestral Crow Cloud Pattern" on the Taoist robe of the "Incense Taoist Priest".

The methods used by the Taoist priests also come from Taoism. Although they are different from Yun Ziliang's hall, they have the same goal and the Taoist methods they use are quite similar.

"Where is the Nine Dragons of Huangyuan Prefecture?"

After the Jingshan dragon entered Yun Ziliang's robe, Yun Ziliang did not stop summoning the dragon.

He used to be the dragon-hunting master of Jiuzhuxiang. With dragons hidden in his body, there must be more than one big dragon.

Following Yun Ziliang's call, under the largest water fort in Huangyuan Prefecture, the wind and clouds suddenly surged, and a huge whirlpool swirled in the water.

In the whirlpool, a coffin painted with black paint floated out and rushed back and forth in the strong undercurrent.

The undercurrent had its own strength, and the impact of the coffin was another force. The two forces collided with each other and twisted into one force, which opened the lid of the coffin.

In the coffin, a person wearing a black dragon robe was lying peacefully.

He was dressed in luxurious clothes and looked like an emperor. His body seemed to have been preserved in some special way. His skin color was the same as that of a normal person and his face was very rosy. If he had not been lying in the coffin, at first glance, one would have thought he was a living person sleeping peacefully.

The man in the black dragon robe seemed to have sensed some kind of call. He opened his lips slightly, and a golden light came out of his body and surged into the sky.

Upon closer inspection, it was also a golden dragon, but its shape and majesty were inferior to the Jingshan dragon.

"Huangyuan Prefecture was called the Imperial City in ancient times. As time passed, the country of Jing moved its capital several times, and Huangyuan Prefecture has now become a city plagued by bandits."

"But heritage is heritage. Under the many water forts of Huangyuan Prefecture, there are tombs of former emperors, which were buried under the sand of Huangyuan waters for a long time. Now, they are about to see the light of day again."

Yun Ziliang is good at finding dragons, but he is different from other dragon-hunting masters.

In the past, most dragon-hunting masters were looking for Feng Shui treasures, good caves and good caves, but Yun Ziliang proposed that "the essence of dragon hunting is to find people."

He was more interested in finding people than dragons.

"In the past, all the ancient kings were people with dragon energy. Even though they died a thousand years ago, the dragon energy still lingered. When I was nineteen years old, I traveled all over Huangyuan Prefecture and found nine ancient kings' coffins. Today, the dragon of the ancient king has entered my body. I want to let the people in the martial arts world see what a dragon-seeking master is."

Yun Ziliang's words became more and more overbearing.

In many water forts of Huangyuan, whirlpools and ancient kings' coffins appeared one after another.

One after another, the ancient dragons broke through the clouds and landed on Yun Ziliang's Taoist robe.
Nine ancient dragon kings were constantly fighting for the top spot on the robes. They were all big dragons, so they were a little arrogant by nature, and they wanted to be at the top in everything, unwilling to be inferior to others for long.

But those nine ancient kings have been dead for a thousand years, and their dragon energy has dissipated a little. In terms of hard power, they can no longer suppress the Jingshan dragon. When the Jingshan dragon roared, the ancient dragon had to coil under the Taoist robe.

After a brief fight, the ten dragons were determined, and the cloud pattern on Yun Ziliang's Taoist robe took on its appearance - nine ancient royal dragons, like stars surrounding the moon, with their heads slightly bent, lifting the Jingshan Dragon high.

"Ten big dragons, with dragons hidden in their bodies. The Jingshan dragon is powerful and brave. The nine ancient king dragons are good at controlling people's hearts. Xuanzi, let's go down to the abyss."

Yun Ziliang fell to the ground, his long hair fluttering in the wind and his trimmed body looking younger - it was the first time he looked so ethereal after coming to Zhou's Jingyi Shop for so long.

"Lao Yun, do we have a chance of winning if we hide those ten dragons? How many incense sticks do you have now?"

"Sitting on the eighth and looking at the ninth."

Yun Ziliang smiled and said, "I am still one step short of nine incense sticks. However, with the ten dragons here, I can make up for my level of incense. No matter how powerful the people below the Earth Abyss are, I guarantee that you can advance and retreat freely. There will be no problem."

"If that's the case, why don't you call two more dragons forward?"

"The Dragon Seeking and Sensing Sect has dragons hidden in their bodies. When I was at my peak, I had thirteen dragons hidden in my body. Now, there are still three big dragons that have disappeared and have lost contact with me. It will take some time to retrieve them."

Yun Ziliang said: "At this moment, I only have these ten dragons to help me in the battle."

"I can lend you two."

Zhou Xuan's words were very relaxed, as if borrowing a dragon was like borrowing money. After chatting with an old friend for a few words, he lent out the banknotes in his wallet.

Yun Ziliang knew what Zhou Xuan was up to, and quickly shook his head and said, "I know what the two dragons you are talking about are, Mingjiang Zulong and Dongshi Dragon God. Both of them are Zulong-level. If I hide dragons in my body, they will definitely not be willing to enter my Taoist robe."

"They're going to get under my skin, like a tattoo."

Yun Ziliang patted his chest and said, "Don't let the body that was just repaired by the Red Ginseng Boy be destroyed by those two Ancestral Dragons."

"The great dragon enters your robe, so why would the ancestral dragon enter your skin?"

"The more ferocious a dragon is, the more considerate you have to be to it if you want it to hide. A great dragon can be worn in a robe, but an ancestor dragon cannot."

"Then I will summon the Ancestral Dragon and hide it on my body. If I encounter something from the abyss, and I can't control the dragon's power, how about you, since you are more skilled in Taoism, help me release the dragon?"

"That's fine."

Yun Ziliang whispered in Zhou Xuan's ear for a while, teaching him the secret of hiding the dragon within.

Zhou Xuan has now completed the incense offerings at Xunlong Hall. He has already possessed the ability to hide the dragon in his body, but he is not very good at the technique and needs Yun Ziliang's guidance.

"The method of finding dragons is based on Feng Shui. The land of Jing Country is vast. Wherever there is land, there will be water and wind. It is said that wind is the shape of water, and water is the shadow of wind. That's how it is."

Yun Ziliang pointed to the "well mouth" formed by the four high walls of the stone chamber and said to Zhou Xuan: "Stand on the well mouth with the dragon shape and tiger steps, release your perception and merge it into the wind. The wind will become your eyes. The wind eyes can see the dragon shape. When you see the dragon shape, you point at it, and it will sense your call and hide in your body."

With the detailed instructions, Zhou Xuan closed his eyes and imagined it in his mind for a while. Then, his feet moved quickly, his toes touched the ground, and his body was as light as a fallen leaf.
A little wind blew into the stone chamber and turned into a pair of invisible hands, slowly lifting Zhou Xuan up.

His body floated until it floated at the mouth of the well, then slowly settled.

The sound of wind passed by Zhou Xuan's ears, and he poured all his perception into the wind. How far the wind blew was how far Zhou Xuan looked.

He saw that on Dongshi Street, the East Market Dragon God was coiled on the street like a giant snake.

He saw the Zulong lurking at the bottom of the turbulent Ming River.
Zhou Xuan saw them, and they saw Zhou Xuan,
then,

The two dragons raised their heads, soared into the sky, and drilled into the clouds, causing wind and rain. Amidst the thunder, wind and rain, the closer the two ancestral dragons got to Zhou Xuan, the smaller their bodies became, until finally, they drilled into Zhou Xuan's Taoist robe, with no difference in height, just one on the left and one on the right, forming an ancestral dragon cloud pattern.

"Lao Yun, didn't you say that Zulong wanted to enter his body, rather than prostrate himself on the Taoist robe?"

"Well, things in this world aren't always like that."

Yun Ziliang said: "You are too domineering. Even Zulong is willing to submit to you in a Taoist robe."

While Lao Yun was speaking, the ten dragon cloud patterns on his body felt the breath of the Ancestral Dragon. Their arrogance dissipated a lot and they all lowered their heads to show their submission to the Ancestral Dragon.

"This is the Ancestral Dragon. When the Ancestral Dragon appears, all other dragons submit to him. But none of them submits to Xuan Zi so thoroughly - Xuan Zi is the most powerful and unrivaled true dragon in the Jing Kingdom."

Yun Ziliang said secretly.

……

Yun Ziliang has recovered his Taoism and hidden his power again. He has made all the necessary preparations.

Together with Zhou Xuan, the dragon-hunting duo who were both teacher and friend, they descended into the well and swam towards the depths of the abyss with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.

"Mr. Big, you're finally here."

The painter greeted him, and then he bowed and said to Yun Ziliang: "Congratulations to the return of the Great Heavenly Master Xunlong."

"It hasn't completely returned to its original position yet, but with the three of us working together, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the thing at the bottom of the abyss."

Yun Ziliang's words gave the painter confidence.
The three of them descended into the abyss again.

Three thousand meters...six thousand meters...eight thousand meters...nine thousand meters...

They were getting closer and closer to the end of the abyss,
suddenly,

Yun Ziliang seemed to have sensed something and suddenly waved his hand, asking Zhou Xuan and the painter to stop.

"Lao Yun, what did you find?"

"I have roughly guessed what the thing under the abyss is."

When Yun Ziliang said this, he pulled out two strands of his black hair, threw one hair into the depths of the abyss, and threw the other hair back the way he came.

Two strands of hair floated away, one in front and one behind. The hair that connected to the end of the abyss did not change at all, while the hair that floated towards the mouth of the abyss was rapidly turning gray.

Yun Ziliang explained to Zhou Xuan and the painter, "I, Yun Ziliang, have lived for three hundred years. Although I have survived, I have violated many laws between heaven and earth. All the hair that falls off my body will age quickly and turn gray because it violates the law of time.

However, my hair, which floated into the depths of the abyss, remained black, which means that the area at the end of the abyss also violates the laws between heaven and earth, especially the law of time. "

"What would violate the laws of heaven and earth?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

"A corpse, an extraordinary corpse. The size of this corpse is beyond our imagination."

Yun Ziliang said: "I once traveled west to search for dragons - what was I looking for? I just wanted to go to the Snow Plains Mansion and find the corpse of the ancient Buddha."

"Will ancient Buddhas have corpses?" asked the painter.

“Of course there are.” Yun Ziliang counted on his fingers, “The Heavenly Lord and the Heavenly God are all corpses, and there are more than one. When the ancient Buddha first came to the world, he was in the form of a giant hand. Later, his form changed because another form of the ancient Buddha was born in that giant hand.
When the ancient Buddha completed his second coming in a new form, the giant hand became the ancient Buddha's corpse. "

“This giant hand corpse is called the Ancient Buddha Realm.”

"Have you found the ancient Buddha domain?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"did not find."

Yun Ziliang added: "There are many legends circulating in Jing Country, one of which is that "The Taoist Ancestor achieved enlightenment by beheading the three corpses." The three corpses beheaded are the same as those in the ancient Buddhist domain.

People at the Tianzun and Tianshen levels often descend multiple times, and each time they descend, a new corpse will appear, either from the Tianzun domain or the Tianshen domain. "

Yun Ziliang pointed at the abyss and said, "Deep in this abyss, there may be a "domain". Whether it is at the level of a celestial master or a god, it is unknown."

When he said this, Zhou Xuan suddenly felt a chill in his spine.

According to Miss Qiang's deduction not long ago, the Abyss is alive and has fetal movements. A fetus is growing in the Abyss.

Combined with Yun Ziliang's words, Zhou Xuan could draw a conclusion - a certain Heavenly Lord or Heavenly God was reviving and growing in the abyss of the earth, and when the time was right, this Heavenly Lord or Heavenly God would descend to the world.

"Since he is a celestial being or a god, I think we should not disturb him."

The painter said, shrinking his neck.

What Zhou Xuan could guess, the painter could naturally guess as well - he immediately felt that the three of them were extremely bold, daring to come to the bottom of the earth and provoke the Heavenly Venerable and God-level.

This is really like thinking that one's life is too long.

"Lao Yun, are you sure your conclusion is correct?" Zhou Xuan was also a little unbelieving.

Yun Ziliang pulled out a few more strands of hair and floated them into the depths of the abyss. After seeing that his hair had not changed, he became more certain of his guess and said, “I understand more and more that 10,000 meters underground in Mingjiang Prefecture, there lies a huge corpse of a Heavenly Venerable or Heavenly God.

The corpse has become the mother body, giving birth to the new form of this celestial being, the god of heaven."

"And the ground abyss from decades ago accidentally created a ten-thousand-meter-long passage into this underground mother body."

Yun Ziliang also agreed with the painter: "Whether this is the Tianzun Realm or the Tianshen Realm, we should run away if the situation is not right."

Zhou Xuan narrowed his eyes when he heard this. That's not right, Lao Yun... when you first hid the dragon in your body, you said those words so domineeringly. Now we have just reached 9,000 meters, and there is still a whole kilometer to the end of the abyss, and you are already scared.

"Xuan Zi, I'm telling you honestly, the Heavenly Lord and Heavenly God of Jing Country, after they came, did take the world as their responsibility... er... I dare not say it as their responsibility, but at least they will not kill people wantonly.
But when they are in the stage of growth or when their will is unstable, they will kill without regard for whether the person coming is a good person or a bad person.

Just like the Blood Well Heavenly Venerable more than 60 years ago, he only woke up briefly, his mind was in chaos, and he gave the disciples of the Jingguo Incense and Fire Sect to..."

The more Yun Ziliang spoke, the more panicked he became.

It’s no wonder that he panicked. No matter who it is, facing such a terrifying existence, no one would have the courage to face it.

"Now I understand. No wonder a god like Shanzu could only be treated as a ghost and imprisoned for decades."

Zhou Xuan was also in a dilemma at this time. If he continued to go down into the abyss, he was afraid that it would be like an egg hitting a stone. If he did not go down into the abyss, "Mountain Ancestor" would not be able to save him.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Miss Qiang finally spoke up and said, "Old Yun, I am sure that the domain under the abyss is definitely not a corpse domain of the Heavenly Venerable or God level."

"Are you so sure?"

Yun Ziliang asked.

Miss Qiang said, "There are four great celestial masters in the Well Country—Taozu, Wushen, Ancient Buddha, and Xuejing. I recognize the aura of Wushen, and as for the auras of the other three celestial masters..."

"I know them all."

Zhou Xuan responded immediately.

There are many disciples in Jingguo, but it is hard to say whether there is another disciple besides Zhou Xuan who can have connections with the three Heavenly Masters at the same time.

The incarnation of the ancient Buddha - "Twenty-one Zen", Zhou Xuan has seen two of them,

A part of the will of the Blood Well is in Zhou Xuan's secret realm. As for Daozu, he also passed on the "Xi Gu Zhenjing" to him not long ago.
Zhou Xuan would definitely not mistake the aura of these three Heavenly Lords.

"Since the thing in the depths of the earth is neither the Wu Shen nor the other three Tian Zuns, the possibility that it is from the Tian Zun Domain is zero."

Miss Qiang added: "If it's not Tianzun, then it can't be a god."

Yun Ziliang asked: "How did you come to this conclusion?"

"The God of Jingguo controls a complete law, time, space, destiny, nature... and so on. But no matter which law it is, it is the power attribute of Jingguo's existence."

Miss Qiang said: "But I have seen a power attribute similar to our Flesh and Blood Divine Dynasty in this abyss. If so, how can it be a god?"

Yun Ziliang narrowed his eyes, calculated in his mind for a while, and said: "It's neither the Heavenly Lord nor the God, but the domain in the abyss is extremely powerful and can ignore the laws of the Well Country. It is even more impossible to be a god..."

After eliminating these options one by one, the answer becomes obvious.

"It's a celestial ghost!"

Yun Ziliang and the painter gave the answer at the same time.

In ancient times, after a great war between gods and demons, almost all gods died. For at least two thousand years, except for the Nuo god, there has been no information about the gods appearing in the world.

As for the heavenly ghost, it was eaten by the "evil god" created by Nuo God based on the fate of the human world, and it never appeared again.

When the people of Jing thought that the gods and ghosts would never appear on earth again, the god of suffering was summoned by Zhou Xuan, and a ball of fire burned in the sky above Mingjiang Prefecture.

A celestial ghost of unknown origin was also encountered by Zhou Xuan and others in the abyss.

"Speaking of which, I do have a connection with the gods and demons."

Zhou Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Lao Yun, I heard from the God of Suffering that the Heavenly Ghost was eaten by the Shadow God created by the God of Nuo - the Shadow God is now the Evil God - if it was eaten, where did the corpse of the Heavenly Ghost come from?"

"That's... I can't answer that."

Yun Ziliang’s knowledge blind spot was touched upon and he couldn’t answer.

The painter asked Zhou Xuan: "Master, although there is a Heavenly Ghost Realm under the Earth Abyss, and the entire Earth Abyss is nurturing a new Heavenly Ghost, but Heavenly Ghosts are on the same level as Heavenly Gods, do we really want to take the risk?"

Zhou Xuan fell into deep thought. He had learned about the fighting power of the Heavenly Ghost from the God of Bitterness before.

The celestial ghosts cannot defeat the celestial gods, but they are immortal and rely on their recurring vitality to consume the celestial gods to the point of unbearable suffering.

"That's a celestial ghost... If it's a celestial ghost, then we have to go down and take a look no matter what."

Zhou Xuan said.

In his opinion, the Sky Demon was originally a disaster for the Well Country. He watched it grow in the Abyss of the Earth, and when the day came for it to descend...

"Although the Sky Ghost is extremely powerful, think about it, how many years has it been since the Earth Abyss was opened? At most, it has been less than fifty years. A Sky Ghost of fifty years old may not be stronger than a god-level fighter. We can't be scared by his reputation."

Zhou Xuan pointed to the depths of the abyss and said, "Even if we lose, we must know the truth. Let's go down and take a look. If it is really as powerful as the legend says, even the Sky Light Array cannot contain it."

"Then go have a look."

The painter gritted his teeth before agreeing to Zhou Xuan's idea.

Yun Ziliang also prepared himself mentally to follow Zhou Xuan into the abyss.

After Zhou Xuan and the other two broke through the "nine thousand meters" mark, they moved forward almost step by step.

While walking, Zhou Xuan used the measurement method of "one step equals one meter" to roughly estimate the depth of their dive.

Nine thousand five hundred meters... nine thousand eight hundred meters...

When they were less than two or three hundred meters away from the end of the abyss, Zhou Xuan, Yun Ziliang and the painter saw the light at the same time.

They walked towards the light, and gradually, they arrived at the entrance of a cave.

The three of them crossed the pit and squeezed into the cave entrance, and the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

At the deepest part of this abyss, there is actually a cave that resembles an ancient altar - the cave is probably as big as several football fields.

In the very center of the cave, there grows an extremely tall and huge tree.

Every leaf of the tree is emitting silver light.

The light seen by Zhou Xuan and others came from this tree.

Yun Ziliang was a little surprised when he saw the leaves that looked like moonlight. He was about to examine them carefully, but the painter suddenly knelt down with a plop and worshipped the tree.

"This is the ancestral tree that our Bone Elders Association has worshipped for many years - the Ginkgo Tree."

There are two gods in Mingjiang Mansion - the God of Dreams and the God of Pain and Disaster.

Similarly, there are two ancestral trees in the city - the peach tree and the ginkgo tree.

When Zhou Xuan almost poked a hole in the sky of Mingjiang Prefecture, he only found the ancestral peach tree, the god of pain and disaster, but the other ancestral tree, the god of dreams, was nowhere to be found.

Zhou Xuan never expected that the ancestral ginkgo tree, which had been driven into the ground by the Buddhist monk Xunbo and the Great Heavenly King, would meet him in this manner.

"No... this altar... is built to the specifications for worshipping the God of Dreams."

Yun Ziliang saw the tree and the altar, and his hair stood on end. He said, "Miss Qiang, you guessed wrong. This is the Dream Realm. The Dream God will rely on this abyss to descend to the human world. We will all become the Dream God's food..."
