Li Juntian's big eyes wandered unabashedly all over Qin Yingwu's body, as if he was looking at a newly acquired handicraft.

"Not bad!" Li Juntian commented.

"Directly enter the Golden Immortal Realm...... Okay, at least you are a real 'god' in this 'divine realm'. Facing his apprentice, Yang Jian also gave his own evaluation.

"That'...... What's that, Master," I don't know if I was a little uncomfortable stared at by Li Juntian's eyes, Qin Yingwu cast a look of help to his master, "Hades's glass of wine is still very useful!"

"Actually, that glass of wine is not simply Hades'......" Yang Jian, who received the "signal", seemed to want to say something to ease Qin Yingwu's embarrassment, but his words were interrupted by the voice of a "curious baby". Yang Jian had no choice but to smile helplessly and shut his mouth.

“…… How do you know what you're drinking?" As soon as he heard Qin Yingwu mention "that cup of wine", Li Juntian asked curiously.

"Uh...... Uncle Shi, "Qin Yingwu seemed to remember something bad, and the corners of his mouth moved up slightly, "At that time, Master Zun gave me a cup with him—I have seen that cup." ”

“…… You can drink it all this way, and I'm really convinced of you. Li Jun was speechless, turned around and walked to the door, "That's it, I'd better go and study the 'those things' that the Roaring Sky Dog brought back - if it weren't for the fact that you interrupted my train of thought because you went out of the customs, hum!"

Li Jun's graceful figure disappeared at the door, and Yang Jian's master and apprentice breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Suddenly, Li Jun's tilted head poked in from the window and glared at Qin Yingwu.

"How...... What's wrong?" Qin Yingwu instantly felt that he was starting to break out in a cold sweat.

"Listen, in the future, don't call my uncle's ancestor and uncle's ancestor, you want to call me Sister Juntian. ”

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Li Jun left satisfied—this time he really left.

"Uh...... What's that, Master, Jun...... Is Sister Tilt usually like this?"

"Well, it's good to get used to it, after all, even your grandfather can't control her. ”

"I see...... By the way, Master, you just said that this glass of wine is not pure, what does that mean?"

"This ......" Yang Jian heard this, waved his hand and beckoned a wine glass filled with clear water, and then, a grape flew from the courtyard outside the window and fell into the wine glass.

In an instant, through the transparent crystal cup, Qin Yingwu saw that the grape turned into a piece of "thick ink" at the moment it entered the water, and then, the whole glass of water turned into a bright crimson like ink, and a burst of rich wine fragrance came to his nose.

"Oh my God!" Qin Yingwu sweated again, but this time it wasn't because of nervousness - his face turned extremely red as if he had drunk strong wine, "Master, you actually know how to make wine?!"

"Speaking of which, you may not know that 'Erlang God' is just my god title—that is, the title given to me by the Heavenly Court—this is just a false position, not a god position. In fact, I have many gods, such as the god of hunting, the god of opera, the god of juju, and so on, and the god of wine is just one of the many gods I have. ”

"But, Master, how come I have never seen you brew?"

"Actually......" After hearing his apprentice's question, Yang Jian's face showed a rare look of embarrassment.

"It's not that I like wine and become the god of wine, but that mortals make me the god of wine. ”

"Huh?"

"How so...... Have you ever watched "Three Kingdoms"?"

"I've seen it...... What's wrong?"

"Then you should know Mr. Yi's 'three images' theory, right?"

"Of course!" Seeing that he could finally interject, Qin Yingwu clapped his hands, "The first is the 'historical image' advocated by historians in the history books, mainly recorded in the official history; the second is the 'literary image' in literary and artistic works; and the last is the 'folk image' derived from various myths and folklore—right?!"

"That's it!" Yang Jian snapped his fingers, "The son can be taught." ”

Suddenly, a prompt sound came from Yang Jian's mobile phone.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Interesting. Yang Jian, who was looking at the screen, showed an interested smile, "First, the Nordic gods who should have been wiped out at dusk have made a comeback, and now even the 'self-cultivation gods' who have been wandering and hiding in the major mainstream mythological systems in the West have also appeared." ”

At this moment, a jet of water suddenly erupted from the fountain in the center of the courtyard, forming a Greek sentence.

"Oh?" After sensing the changes in the pool, Li Juntian, who was closing his eyes and meditating, opened his eyes, "It seems that Zeus, this old boy, still can't help it after all." ”

"Let's go," Yang Jian, who withdrew his gaze from the water column, turned his head and said to Qin Yingwu, "Let's go to a meeting." ”

Hades, the underworld.

At this time, although the yang world was still daylight, the underworld was already dark.

In fact, at this time, the underworld is already much brighter than at night. Above the deep purple sky, three dark green octagonal prismatic stars—the sun of the underworld—are emitting a dark and cold light. Although there is a time difference between the two worlds of yin and yang, this is indeed the day of the underworld.

In other words, there is no real daylight in the underworld at all.

Chapter 42 of the Tao Te Ching: "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things." All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and the middle air is harmonious. ”

All things in the world are formed by the harmonious blending of yin and yang, and the yin and yang that give birth to all things originate from the chaotic and disorderly chaos of Hongmeng at the beginning.

……

At the beginning of the ancient times, Pangu opened up the world, and chaos divided into two clear and turbid gases.

"Lao Jun said: The avenue is invisible, giving birth to the world, the avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon, the avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time. The husband and the Taoist: there is clear and turbid, there is movement and stillness, the sky is clear and turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is quiet, the man is clear and the woman is turbid, the man is moving and the woman is quiet, and the capital is reduced to the end, and all things are born. The pure, the source of turbidity, the moving, the foundation of stillness, and the man can always be quiet, and the heaven and the earth are all returned (Note (1)). ”

The clear, the yang is healthy, floating up for the sky, flying smartly between the sea of clouds, and the turbid, gloomy, descending for the earth, condensing and steady, walking under all beings. Heaven is strong, from the dry phase, the ground walks calmly, belongs to Kunde. Therefore, there are clouds in "The Legend of the Elephant": "Tianxingjian; the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement", and the cloud is "the terrain is kun; the gentleman carries things with virtue".

At that time, the three worlds of heaven, earth and man were separated, and the world was between the two worlds of heaven and earth, and Yin and Yang were embraced. The earth boundary is from the yin, so it is also called the "underworld", also known as the "underworld". The underworld, deep, dim, and cloudy.

The underworld is black, bleak, and there is a dark sea outside, which is cold and biting. And because it is blocked by the world and its nature is yin, it is dark and dark all year round, so from ancient times to the present, there are very few yang creatures to come here for activities.

Therefore, when Yang Ziji stepped on the land of the underworld, he shivered for no reason, and a sense of coldness and loneliness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow came to his face......
