Chapter 269: Forward
Early the morning of the second day after participating in the succession ceremony of Rong Wengui, Gu Yaopan and Bai Suzhen made an appointment to go down the mountain together, and when Tao Mengchu came to look for her, the room was already empty.
Tao Mengchu stood at the fence of the main hall on the top of the hill and looked at an off-road vehicle that was speeding away from his sight.
Bai Suzhen, who was sitting in the car, watched Gu Yaopan skillfully change gears and keep accelerating, feeling the feeling of pushing her back strongly, while watching Gu Yaopan's operation with great interest.
"You say, can I learn it?" Bai Suzhen touched the center console of the off-road vehicle with great interest.
"There's nothing you can't learn, it's just a dead thing. Gu Yaopan said casually.
"Makes sense. Bai Suzhen nodded, and then asked, "Where are you going to go from the underworld to Jiuyou?"
Gu Yaopan looked at the highway in front of him, and thought for a while before saying, "Go to the Chenghuang Temple on the outskirts of Beijing." ”
Bai Suzhen thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go to Qingqiu?"
Gu Yaopan's gaze swept over Bai Suzhen, and said: "Qingqiu is outside the world after all, and it is not as convenient as going to the underworld as the Chenghuang Temple, besides, my body is a human body, if it is placed in Qingqiu, it is not necessarily a good thing to have a demonic aura there." ”
"Are you going to go out of your body into the underworld?" Bai Suzhen raised an eyebrow.
If it is said that the body is not very sure of entering the underworld, then the soul goes out of the body to the underworld and turns to the Nine Shadows, which can almost be said to be a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no luck!
"Yes, there is a plan. ”
The reason why Gu Yaopan considered using the divine soul to enter the underworld was that the strength of this body was really not enough, although she had been in this body for more than 20 years, and she had also practiced and blessed this body for so many years, but a mortal body is a mortal body, and if she enters the underworld once and walks through the Nine Shadows, she is afraid that this body will decay to the point that it will not be able to look good.
Bai Suzhen frowned, she could understand Gu Yaopan's consideration, if the mortal body enters the Nine Shadows, I am afraid that if I don't get close to the Nine Shadows, the demonic qi that escapes will make this mortal body full of holes, but if there is no physical protection at all, it is equivalent to completely exposing my divine soul to the attack of the demonic qi, and there is no buffer place, which is even more dangerous!
What a dilemma!
"What about your original body?" Bai Suzhen suddenly said: "After so many years, can't the ban be lifted? Speaking of which, what did you get down for in the first place?"
Bai Suzhen's question made Gu Yaopan slightly stunned, and some memories that she was about to forget for a long time churned in her mind.
"Yaopan! Our demon clan has been away from the world for too long, but we have to leave, if I refuse to leave, then the demon clan will have no hope at all. Finally, this time the master of the three sects was able to be moved by me, so ...... Yaopan, you have to help me do this......"
"Okay! I'll do it for you!"
"Good!"
The light that day was the same as the light in the East Palace every day, it was warm, and she loved it, but she had to leave because she had promised it.
"I promised someone to do something for him, so I came down. The corners of Gu Yaopan's mouth brought a smile.
Since the day she came down, she has never concealed her origin, a big demon like Bai Suzhen knows that she is different from herself, she is not an occasional lucky demon clan in the world who has opened the spiritual wisdom, but a demon who came down from the mysterious demon palace, is a natural demon clan, just like Taiyi, who was born as an emperor, but no demon knows why she still wants to come down?
They all kept respect and distance towards her seniors, observing her from afar, examining her, wanting to know how she was different from themselves.
Bai Suzhen looked at Gu Yaopan, she really wanted to ask this question clearly, she had a hunch that she might already know some of the answer to this question.
"But now that there is no demon body, what are you going to do?How do you enter the Nine Shadows?" Bai Suzhen looked at Gu Yaopan, but still didn't ask directly, but chose a roundabout way.
"Your dragon body is extremely strong, so I want you to do something for me. Gu Yaopan glanced at Bai Suzhen with a smile, attracting her vigilant gaze.
"What's the matter?" Bai Suzhen looked at her.
"Help me bring the Green Mantis Sword into the Nine Shadows. Gu Yaopan patted the green on his waist with one hand, causing a joyful tremor.
"You mean, your spirit is attached to this sword?" Bai Suzhen quickly understood what she meant. This is indeed a way to go.
"That's right!" Gu Yaopan nodded.
"But if you attach this sword, how can you investigate the situation within the Nine Shadows? You must know that this sword has no eyes!" Bai Suzhen thought about it, but still raised some questions.
"Do you think that in the Nine Shadows, you can still trust your eyes?" Gu Yaopan smiled sarcastically, and said in a cold voice:
"There, the last thing you can believe is your own eyes and ears. ”
Bai Suzhen couldn't help but gasp when she heard Gu Yaopan's words, she had heard of the name of Jiuyou when she was just a little snake who had just attained enlightenment, and the many rumors she heard after that deepened her taboo, and because of this, she had always kept her distance from this place, if she hadn't had to accompany Gu Yaopan this time, she thought that she would definitely not choose to approach that place. At this time, hearing Gu Yaopan say this, the vigilance in her heart rose to a terrifying height.
"I see. Bai Suzhen exhaled heavily.
When the off-road vehicle stopped at the familiar City God Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, the sky was already dark, the staff in the City God Temple had already dispersed, the open space in front of the temple was clean, there was not a single fallen leaf, and a bleak cold wind brought the chill of late autumn.
Gu Yaopan parked the off-road vehicle outside the courtyard wall, and waited until Bai Suzhen got out of the car, and then the two walked towards the main hall together.
Before stepping into the main hall, a wave of water ripples came out of the main hall, and Lao Xu, dressed in home clothes, appeared at the door of the main hall in surprise to greet the two people who came in a row.
"Why did you two come together?"
"Lao Xu, but I haven't seen you for a long time!" Bai Suzhen greeted Lao Xu with a smile.
"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Hall. Gu Yaopan looked at Lao Xu and nodded at him.
"Come in and talk about it. Lao Xu waved his hand at the two, and then turned around and entered the door first.
The inside of the City God Temple is still the same as before, but after the two of them passed through a wave of water ripple formation, what was revealed was a unique cave, a simple decoration of gray walls and red tiles of the house was opening its doors to welcome two guests from afar.
Entering the room and sitting down, Lao Xu politely served two warm cups of tea to the two. Bai Suzhen took it up and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Old Xu! After all these years, you still can't change the habits of being a person." ”
In the teacup were two green tea leaves, as if they had just been plucked from a branch.
Lao Xu smiled, didn't speak, picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip casually, waiting for the two to say what they meant.
"What? you want to put your body here with me, and enter the Nine Shadows with your soul?"
After listening to Gu Yaopan's words, Lao Xu stood up in shock, not even realizing that he had swept over the teacup in front of him.
