Chapter 18: The Ninth Immortal Cultivator
The young man in white walked up to the old man: "I'll just say it once, you listen, you have seven days to return to the outside world, and you must come back within seven days, if you don't come back, you will be trapped here forever, you know?"
The old man nodded, looked at Jiang Linfeng who was sitting on the ground, and was about to say something, when he saw the young man in white say something in his mouth, and the old man's body blurred for a while, and then disappeared.
"Hey, next next, next. Then the young man in white turned around and was about to leave.
"Brother, please wait a moment. ”
In fact, Jiang Linfeng opened his eyes when the young man in white first came in, and from the mouth of the panda, he determined that this should be the white impermanence in people's mouths.
The young man in white was stunned: "You can actually see me?"
"I'm not blind. ”
"No one else will see me except pure spirits, and your name is not on this book of life and death. The white-clothed boy frowned.
Suddenly, the young man in white suddenly looked at him: "Is it difficult...... You're an immortal cultivator!"
Jiang Linfeng thought for a moment and nodded.
"I said, how could ordinary people find me. When the young man in white heard this, he sighed: "Could it be that the prophecy is really going to come true?" ”
"What prophecy?"
The white impermanence glanced at him: "You come with me, I'll take you somewhere." ”
Jiang Linfeng communicated with Hei Xiaobai, and after making sure that there was no problem, he followed, as for the task, he didn't care.
............
Bai Wuchang slipped Jiang Linfeng and flew south above the sea, and after two days, he finally saw that there was land in front of him, but it was all piece by piece, as if it was an island.
Looking back, Jiang Linfeng asked, "This is Antarctica?"
Bai Wuchang nodded, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
After a while, a city appeared in front of me.
"The front is Nanzhou City, but you can only see it in the inner world, the city is built with special materials, and nothing below the Cave Xuan Period can be destroyed. Bai Wuchang pointed down: "Let's go, let's go down." ”
Walking in the city, the ancient buildings that greeted Jiang Linfeng made Jiang Linfeng feel like he had entered a costume drama, and people came and went on the stone road, which was very lively.
However, there were not only humans in the city, but also fox demons, fish people, and even a man with dragon horns. Jiang Linfeng was not surprised, in the book given by the Dao Chief, he had already known that there were other species, but the first time he saw it, it was inevitable that there was something new.
"Go, I'll take you to meet someone. ”
Jiang Linfeng nodded and followed.
The two of them turned into an alley, stopped at the second house, and Bai Wuchang knocked on the door: "Old Chen, if you're not there, I brought someone for you." ”
After a while, the door opened, and I saw a demon with a leopard head standing in front of him, and said with a serious face: "Who are you and what is the matter?"
Tell your master that I am Bai Wuchang. ”
When the leopard heard this, he hurried in and reported it.
Less than a minute later, the door opened. I saw the leopard baring his teeth and smiling and said, "It turned out to be the deacon, and the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so the master said that you are invited in." ”
Bai Wuchang snorted, and went in with his head held high, Jiang Linfeng followed behind, smiling at the leopard.
In the hall, a long-bearded old man in a white robe sat on it, holding the freshly brewed tea in his hand, took a sip, and said, "Deacon Bai has a lot of opportunities, I don't know what to do in my small place, the last time we met was more than thirty years ago." ”
"Can't you find Old Chen if you're okay?" Bai Wuchang took a stool and sat down: "Look, I brought you someone. ”
The old man in white looked Jiang Linfeng up and down, as if he wanted to see him through.
"Aura, the Alien, the fusion is not bad, but it is still far from ascending, and the passage is even more impossible. Elder Chen nodded.
"Old Chen, he's not here to enter the passage, take a closer look?"
The old man in white stood up from his seat and stared at Jiang Linfeng carefully for a while, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes: "Cultivator! You are actually a cultivator! There have been no newcomers for many years, and you are still so young!"
"How about Old Chen, it's not an exaggeration to remember me for a great achievement. Bai Wuchang said with a smile.
"I remember, half a month ago, the old guy from the psychic son told us in the group that he found a young cultivator, wouldn't it be you. At this time, Chen Lao smiled at Jiang Linfeng.
"If the psychic son you are talking about is the Taoist chief of Laoshan Mountain, then the person he is talking about should be me. ”
"Hahaha, okay, sure enough, the hero is a boy!"
"Chen Lao has won the award. ”
"Alright, you two talk, I'm going to get busy. At this time, Bai Wuchang got up and said, "Don't forget to give me a credit." ”
"Don't worry, you're indispensable. He waved his hand at Bai Wuchang, who was leaving.
"Come, let's sit down. Chen Lao handed him a chair, sat down himself, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Before, the psychic son told you about it." ”
"Well, I have talked about the outside world in general, but there is very little information about the world here. ”
"Actually, you haven't reached that stage yet, and it's useless to know, so the psychic didn't tell you. But lately, the world has been unable to hide it. ”
"I hope that Chen Lao will solve his doubts. ”
Chen Lao nodded: "First of all, this is the so-called Netherworld outside, after ordinary people die, their souls will come to this world. ”
"I saw the soul of an old man with my own eyes the other day. Jiang Linfeng nodded: "But Bai Wuchang let him go back for seven days, after coming back in those seven days, where did they go?"
"Of course he is here, within seven days, as long as he returns to this world, he will be directly teleported to Nanzhou City. At this time, Chen Lao stood up and pointed outside: "See the tallest tower in the city." ”
Jiang Linfeng looked in the direction of Chen Lao, and sure enough, he saw a pagoda sitting there, and there was a hole above, as if it had been broken: "What is this pagoda for?"
"All souls will be sent there and then randomly sent to countless passages. ”
"Is this the passage of reincarnation?"
"Perhaps, after all, no one has ever come out of there. Once upon a time, there were many paranormals who tried to wrap themselves in aura, trying to go in and see, but they couldn't get through. ”
"Outsiders can come to this world?"
"No, no, no, except for us who cultivate immortals, the others are called superpowers. Chen Lao waved his hand and continued: "Legend has it that three hundred years ago, there was a person who was about to ascend, and he leaned out his upper body to take a look, and at the moment when his entire body was about to disappear, he left a message saying that he had discovered a new world. ”
"Could it be that crossing that road is the path of ascension?" Jiang Linfeng frowned.
"How can it be that simple, let's not say that this is a legend, even if this is true, that senior is about to ascend, how do you know that what he sees when he goes in is the same path as the soul soul after death?" Chen Lao stroked his beard and smiled and said, "However, those supernatural people all believe that it is the path of ascension, so they are all cultivating and passing through the passage." ”
"Then what about our cultivators? I heard the seniors of the psychic son say that the cultivators themselves are innate spirit bodies, can't they just go through it?"
"No!" Chen Lao shook his head and squinted at Jiang Linfeng: "For thousands of years, many people have tried, but I don't know why, we cultivators just can't pass through, and we can only leave this world by crossing the tribulation and ascending." ”
Jiang Linfeng shook his head: It's too difficult to cross the tribulation and ascend.
"By the way, Old Chen, I heard Bai Wuchang mention any prophecy, do you know about the prophecy?"
Chen Lao frowned slightly, stared at him and nodded: "In recent years, this is no secret. Five hundred years ago, the Tianshuzi of Shushan calculated a hanger before his death, and the hexagram showed that within five hundred years, there will be nine immortal cultivators born, and after the ninth person descended, the troubled times will come. And you, the ninth. ”
