Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 177: Watching from the Dark Sky
The people from Danqingmen were confusedly arranged into three rooms.

Three rooms are definitely not enough, but for Danqingmen, only one room is enough...

Everyone has learned the "Boundless Universe Art". Although those fellow disciples cannot open up a large space in one go like Zhao Yifu, they can still easily "dig a nest" for themselves if they try a few more times.

Originally, everyone wanted to show some courtesy by giving Huigu a room, but she was determined to maintain her "fake identity", believing that a maid should stay with her own master.

Good guy...

The younger generation who were unaware of the situation were simply envious, thinking that Zhao Yifu could actually bring people to serve him.

As for having maids around to warm the bed or something, that's perfectly normal. The more adventurous ones among them even want to have a few more maids with various functions.

The elders had to think more and began to wonder how to divide Zhenyi Dao and their Danqing Sect if someone died...

The person involved had a clear mind. Hui Gu simply asked, "Master, what if we hadn't succeeded just now, or if the receptionist who came out was the one who went in earlier?"

She was just curious about what choice Zhao Yifu would make.

Zhao Yifu said matter-of-factly, "Let's continue to divide them according to the situation. Anyway, the worst-case scenario is for me to stand at the gatehouse and shout, 'The Pure Yang Wenmai Danqing Sect has arrived, and the Sect Leader Yangshen has arrived in person. Why not rush out to greet them?'"

"I think that no matter what tricks the Wanshou Sect has up its sleeve, they should open the main gate and have everyone come out to welcome us."

Qiu Yuzi's voice suddenly came from the side: "Is there anything wrong with this?"

There was a hint of resentment in his tone, or perhaps this was the best way he could think of.

Zhao Yifu said, "That's not a bad thing, but it seems too aggressive."

"Master, you asked me not to provoke conflict between the two sides. But if I do that, even though they may appear to be getting along on the surface, they'll definitely be cursing each other inside. Doesn't that actually intensify the conflict?"

"To be honest, I was thinking of just yelling at him because it was too much trouble, but after hearing your request, Sect Leader, I had no choice but to resort to this."

Qiu Yuzi stared at Zhao Yifu seriously for a while, and then he said, "You may be overthinking it."

Then he went to the side in a depressed mood, not knowing what he was doing.

After a while, he ordered, "Alright, since we got in under the name of 'Crazy Confucian Sect', let's act under this name until they come looking for us."

"I'm going back first. There are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in the court."

But at this moment, Liang Zhongzhi hurriedly stopped Qiu Yuzi and said, "Master, wait a moment. You haven't told me what we should do if we stay here."

Qiu Yuzi pointed at Zhao Yifu unhappily and said, "Just listen to him."

After saying this angrily, he turned around and disappeared.

Zhao Yi Fu touched his nose. He felt that the master was angry with him, but he didn’t know what he had done wrong?

He was very annoyed by the behavior of this kind of riddle man, and felt that his own leader had been corrupted by the officialdom... The officialdom was indeed not a good place.

Everyone was quiet for a moment, but Zhao Yifu and Wen Sheng's eyes met and they found that this senior brother's eyes were very smart.

Then he looked at the Tie Rushans... Wow, they were all eager to try.

Zhao Yifu immediately coughed dryly and said, "Alright, fellow brothers, you do have a mission now."

The iron Confucian monks immediately submitted.

The elders were amazed at what they saw. They didn't expect that Zhao Yi Fu had already established prestige among his peers.

Zhao Yifu said, "It's certain that the Wanshou Sect is giving us a hard time right now, but that's not worth mentioning. After all, they also provided us with a lot of elixirs when we were in trouble. Even if they don't think highly of us, we don't have to take it to heart."

"What I want to know now is why my Pure Yang Three Veins Conference turned out like this?"

"The exchange between the three meridians is an exchange between the Pure Yang True Disciples. Why are there so many people watching the ceremony?"

"What kind of ceremony are they watching? It certainly can't be my Pure Yang True Transmission. Something else must be happening here."

"Brothers, your mission is now clear. Use your best methods to make friends with these spectators, and then extract as much useful information as possible."

"only!"

The brothers all accepted the order.

Everyone ran out excitedly.

Although it is dark now, practitioners do not need to sleep. Nighttime is the time when everyone is active and it is a good time to go out and make friends.

Zhao Yifu was just about to take a short break and then go out for a look, but his head suddenly became heavy and he felt a little sleepy.

He understood instantly that this was a call from the underworld.

Looking at the 'Order of the Underworld Messenger' again, I indeed saw changes on it.

He said something to Liang Zhongzhi, then sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Hui Gu was just excitedly trying to chat with Zhao Yifu about the Wanshou Gate, but she found that Zhao Yifu had closed his eyes and fell asleep...

Helplessly, she couldn't disturb him and could only stay beside him and pluck the strings.

Old Man Cangqiu taught her a very special song, which she has been practicing recently.

……

When Zhao Yifu's spirit descended to the underworld, the 'Order of the Underworld Messenger' transformed into a ghost mask covering his face.

Now that he has half of his body armored, he looks much more majestic.

There were still countless ghost officials around. Zhao Yifu knew that another war was going to happen when he saw this situation.

He was very puzzled. Didn't Bai Wuchang say that he usually didn't fight? Why was he fighting so frequently recently?

The Black and White Impermanence appeared in front of the ghost officials again, but this time there were also two more Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons.

The Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters possessed figures that Zhao Yifu envied greatly. Their sturdy bodies did not look like spirits from the underworld at all... or perhaps they were not spirits at all, but flesh and blood!
But what surprised him was that he could see that the title of this Ox-Head and Horse-Face seemed to be Ghost Commander?

It turns out that he is not the Yin Shuai who is in charge of ghosts and gods, but the "top title" among ghost messengers.

According to Zhao Yifu's understanding, these two should be powerful ghosts and gods in the underworld, right?
But the reality is, they are just ghost messengers.

Hei Wuchang spoke first again: "This time, our target is the edge of the White Bone Wilderness. We are chasing a fierce ghost who is rapidly ascending to become a Ghost King... You should know how dangerous this is. Be prepared and follow me!"

When Zhao Yifu heard about this kind of task, he began to hesitate.

The main reason is that he feels that he shouldn't be facing an opponent of this level now?
At the Ghost King level, if we talk about strength, he can barely be compared with the Ghost General level ghosts, which matches his current Ghost General's ghost catcher title, but if he encounters a Ghost King level ghost, he believes that he is no match for it.

However, Zhao Yifu had no idea how powerful it was. He just felt that his real body was here, or that after he cultivated into a Yang God, the Yang God coming down should be about the same.

Besides, there are many powerful people in the underworld, and he has never thought of risking his life for the underworld.

The ghost messenger sets out and starts the pursuit together.

The Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons rushed to the front as the two vanguards, completely ignoring the ghost messengers following behind.

This was actually also a sweep of the Wilderness of Bones, clearing out a lot of evil spirits wandering in the Wilderness of Bones.

Zhao Yifu was not conspicuous among the ghost officials. After all, he was just a low-grade ghost general, only slightly better than the lowest-ranking ghost official.

As he moved forward, he observed his surroundings, ready to run away at any time.

However, the terrain of the underworld made him feel very confused. Although he seemed to be moving forward, he could clearly feel that many layers of space had been twisted.

This feeling was actually very similar to when he cast the 'Boundless Universe Technique', as if the entire underworld was extended out from a similar spell.

Zhao Yifu used his knowledge of space to try to understand the underworld. Gradually, he became more and more certain of his guesses. At the same time, he began to calculate with his fingers, intending to use the true numbers of the universe to measure the underworld.

The wonder of the true numbers of the universe is that it classifies all things in the world and then teaches practitioners how to apply formulas to find the measurements of all things.

Zhao Yifu actually couldn't understand this world, but he could calculate.

It just so happened that he was in a Yin Shen state at this time, and his computing ability seemed to be particularly strong... It should be said that all the data he wanted could emerge from his consciousness at once.

Because this wasn't him thinking with his brain, which couldn't process so much information at once. He was directly sensing the outside world, a kind of inductive thinking.

It was in this state that Zhao Yifu slowly understood where he was at the moment.

He discovered that although the underworld seemed dead and silent, it was actually full of changes.

But under normal circumstances, this change is completely undetectable because it is the space of the entire world that is changing.

Zhao Yifu currently has no idea of ​​the pattern of this change, but he is able to know his current relative position to a specific reference object.

And this reference is Fengdu.

The location of the underworld is also the only immovable center of the entire underworld.

He subconsciously looked up in a certain direction of the sky, but the dim sky was still shrouded in darkness, making it impossible for him to see through it.

But in fact, according to his calculations, Fengdu was right there, not even far from where he was now. He just needed to be able to pass through the dark sky...

It turns out that this underworld is really not that big.

Zhao Yifu suddenly felt this way.

But in the next moment, he lost the coordinates of Fengdu.

He didn't know the laws governing the operation of this world, and had to re-observe and calculate before he could re-locate the space under his feet.

Zhao Yi Fu was having a lot of fun, and shouts of killing were heard from the front of their team.

He heard the low roar of old cows and the loud neighing of horses in the team ahead.

There were also some very large movements that he couldn't see through.

But the next moment, he saw...

The Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon appeared with a Fatianxiangdi as huge as a mountain, fighting with an even larger ghost.

This ghost looks as skinny as a skeleton, but its skeleton is much taller than that of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

The Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon's body was extremely strong and should have been extremely powerful, but this broad skeleton made its strength seem even greater, and it could knock the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon's Fa Tian Xiang Di aside in just a few strokes.

It just seems that it is not good at fighting. In Zhao Yifu's eyes, it could have won long ago, but it always missed it.

It seemed very hesitant, and even some of its attacks seemed to be forced resistance...

The more Zhao Yifu looked at it, the more puzzled he felt. This huge ghost was completely different from the evil spirits he had seen before. It seemed to have its own thoughts and knew what it was facing.

At this time, Hei Wuchang shouted: "Everyone gather your strength and help the Bull-Headed and Horse-Face to weaken it!"

The ghost officials immediately raised one hand and released the Yin energy in their bodies to the giant skeleton, suppressing its movements and constantly consuming its strength.

The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons immediately perked up and finally began to gain the upper hand.

Only then did Zhao Yifu understand why so many ghost messengers were sent out. It turned out that this was how they were used.

The ghost messengers of the underworld are actually messengers who have the authority to arrest and lead people in the underworld. When these messengers gather their power together, they can form a powerful law-level force.

Zhao Yifu also participated in it, feeling the mystery and benefited a lot.

At least it gave him a lot of inspiration for his sealing technique.

Zhao Yifu saw that the huge skeleton was slowly restricted in its movements, and then the Bull-Head and Horse-Faced Skeleton pounced on it together and suppressed it... It seemed that they were sure to win this time.

He thought he could finish work safely this time, but suddenly a heavy sigh echoed throughout the place.

"Ugh!"

"It's already very pitiful and doesn't want to hurt you, so why is it so aggressive?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a drop of liquid like ink suddenly dripped from the dark sky. When it landed on the giant skeleton, it quickly dissipated the power of the underworld that bound its body.

Bai Wuchang said solemnly: "Eternal grudge!"

"You are... a ghost master!"

But the ghost master did not show his head, nor did he pay any attention to the people in the underworld. He just sighed softly: "Fool, hurry up and go. This is the only way I can help you."

The skeleton stood up in a panic, then pushed away the stunned Bull-Head and Horse-Faced Demons and stumbled away.

Zhao Yifu noticed that as it ran, flesh and blood were rapidly growing on its body, and the original skeleton was quickly being filled with muscle-like substance...

Zhao Yi Fu was a ghost god. When he saw this scene, he understood that the giant skeleton ghost had completed its breakthrough. It had now become a ghost king that gave the underworld a headache.

but……

Zhao Yifu looked at the dark sky above his head. He felt that the ghost master was even more terrifying.

In his eyes, the Skeleton Ghost King was actually created by this mysterious ghost master. What a terrifying existence is this?

However, as if sensing the difference in his gaze, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him through the pitch-black sky!
Zhao Yifu saw this without hesitation. His Yin spirit body instantly disappeared from the spot, and his consciousness was about to return to his body in the world of the living...

It should have happened in a split second, but at this moment Zhao Yifu felt that the time before his eyes was suddenly stretched infinitely.

Then he noticed that his body had not actually teleported, but had penetrated the pitch-black sky at an extremely fast speed...

Wow, so this is how the Yin spirits return to the world of the living?

Zhao Yifu was completely numb at this moment. He thought of the pair of eyes in the dark sky. Wasn't this just a delivery to his door?!
At the same time, while traveling through the dark sky, Zhao Yifu already knew the name of this sky: Yin Yang Sky.

It means the intersection of yin and yang.

His time was still being stretched infinitely, and he felt the gaze cast upon him in the Yin-Yang Sky.

He suddenly realized why he felt that time was stretched out, because those eyes were observing him!
At this moment, Zhao Yifu was truly panicked, and at the same time, he realized how arrogant he had been before. He lacked awe for the mysteries of this world.

But the strange thing was that those eyes just stared at him and didn't do anything extra.

Zhao Yifu only felt that the time that had been stretched to infinity began to speed up again.

He accelerated rapidly, but the next moment he suddenly woke up...

"call!"

His body instinctively stood up.

Hui Gu beside him asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Yifu panted repeatedly, then waved his hands and said, "Nothing... nothing, just had a nightmare."

He didn't want to describe his experiences in the underworld in detail, as telling others about such things would only make others worry for nothing.

At least for this period of time, he didn't want to go to the underworld again.

The pair of eyes in the Yin-Yang Sky made him feel terrified. Before he figured out what it was and how to deal with it, he really didn't want to go there and make himself uncomfortable.
