Section 36: The Otherworld
Oh?
Xiao Tian turned his head lightly and held the skull in his hand, but he saw that Sen Bai's skull was still cold, and his empty eye sockets seemed to have endless depth, and there was a faint kind of strange charm that attracted people's hearts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Okay, if you have time, you can study it yourself, and now it's time to get down to business. ”
The old monster was a little impatient, and woke him up with words, "Do a good job on your knees, concentrate on luck, and keep your mind open." ”
Xiao Tian was stunned, "What are you doing?"
"Old man, today, I want to pass on to you the method of communicating with the netherworld," the old monster said lightly.
"Really?" Xiao Tian heard this, and his dark eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a strange essence like thunder in the middle of the night, which flashed suddenly, and his handsome cheeks that shone instantly lit up.
※※※※※※
Stretch your arms straight and slowly raise them to shoulder level, arc in front of you, breathe deeply, and slowly cross your forearms and palms outward.
Gather momentum, gather momentum. Moments later, Ho!
The palms suddenly pushed forward, and a surging energy immediately erupted, like a surging flood, and the wind rose with it, tearing the sleeves of the clothes forward and shaking wildly, and the hunting sound.
The wind was like a knife, and on the ground in front of him, all the grass buds within two zhang were flattened, the sand and gravel were scattered in all directions, and all the debris flew out upside down, revealing a blank open ground in the blink of an eye.
Whew! Xiao Tian exhaled, slowly withdrew his palm, his eyes swept in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, and he turned around and asked: "Old monster, I did what you instructed, why didn't I see the gate of the Netherworld, did I do it wrong, what went wrong?"
"Nonsense!"
The old monster coughed and said lightly: "The old man just asked you to clean the ground, so that you can meditate cross-legged, this technique of communicating with the underworld has not taught you, you can see a fart." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Tian was stunned, grinning and complaining, "If you didn't say it earlier, I wasted so much ghost energy." ”
Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the clearing, Xiao Tian muttered a few words, "Can you start?"
"Hmm. The old monster nodded, the playful look on his face faded, and then it was as deep as water, and he pointed out beside him: "Gather qi into yin, draw a formation with yin, and the formation will be formed and circulate on its own." ”
Xiao Tian's heart moved, Sen Bai's fingers stretched out at will, between the flexion and extension of his fingers, a faint dark light appeared on his fingertips, and at the same time, a trace of black gas protruded from it, like a bubble rising under the water, floating to a high place and bursting, and more black gas appeared.
The ghost qi gathered, and in a moment, a shadow was formed, enveloping the surroundings, and at the same time, the air suddenly became a little colder, as if winter was coming in an instant.
The old monster watched his movements, was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay." With that, his thin fingers stretched out, and with a swipe in the air, a circle of light instantly appeared, imprisoned at the edge of the shadow, and the black qi that turned into a shadow immediately condensed, and in a moment's effort, it turned into some inky cold water. And that aperture is like a copper basin at this time, carrying cold water, not a drop of it.
Xiao Tian looked in front of him, the pitch-black cold water was gently swaying in the copper basin, and a strong cold aura filled the space.
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he glanced deeply at the old monster, but the old monster suddenly sighed softly and said slowly: "Okay, let's start." ”
※※※※※※
The old monster slowly stood behind Xiao Tian, raised his thin arm, like a legendary wizard, gently covered his hand on Xiao Tian's head, and said, "This time, I'll take you to do it again, remember the process, and come by yourself later." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Tian to reply, his body was shocked, and he immediately became a little illusory, and the whole person became like a shadow, slowly moving closer to Xiao Tian's body, getting closer, and finally... Fusion.
At the same moment, Xiao Tian, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, and the strange thing was that his eyes looked half black and pure at the moment, and half of them were filled with the vicissitudes of the old monster.
He could feel himself, but his movements were uncontrollable, and at this moment, the old monster's voice sounded faintly from his head, "Don't panic, the old man is temporarily with you, pay attention." I'll just demonstrate it once."
Xiao Tian was awe-inspiring, and hurriedly contemplated, but saw that the palm of his hand was slowly erected, and his finger was like a knife, and his middle finger and index finger pointed directly at the sky seemed to form a strange brush.
Take a deep breath!
Xiao Tian lowered his body under the traction of the old monster, soaked his finger in the cold water for a while, and lifted it.
The black cold water slipped silently from the thin hairs at one end of the fingers, fell into the copper basin, and rippled away with small ripples on the water surface. Holding his fingers, as if holding a pen, Xiao Tian slowly walked to the edge of the surrounding clearing, and slowly drew the first stroke at a place where the ground bordered the outside world.
The deep color gradually extended on the originally flat ground, and his slightly trembling hand drew one black symbol after another.
There was silence all around, but somehow, the atmosphere seemed to grow tense. Xiao Tian watched secretly for a while, silently remembering the appearance of this rune.
The old monster in his mind approved, nodded silently, and then controlled his body, and lowered his head to continue. More and more black strokes, with the center of his body, gradually appeared around, and a strange magic circle with a forest aura had already appeared.
The fingers controlled by the old monster are also endowed with special power at this moment, as if they have a ghostly absorbing power, and the cold water dipped by this finger is painted on the ground by Da He, but it is condensed but not dry, the color is deep and boundless, and in the corners of the corners, there is not a trace of ink splashed out, picturesquely as a prison, and these cold waters are firmly encircled in it.
As the beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Tian's head, and gradually increased, the ink-colored patterns on the ground gradually became complex, these weird patterns, some looked like domestic animals and beasts, some looked like birds and big birds, and some weird patterns that couldn't see what they looked like at all, one after another, and none of them were the same.
The only thing that is the same is that these patterns are all connected to each other, and there are more and more cold water drawn on the ground by fingers from the copper basin, but the color of the cold water that falls to the ground seems to be deeper and more touching than the cold water that has just been brought to the copper basin.
The chill in the air became more and more intense, and this space, with the beads of sweat on Xiao Tian's head at this moment, gradually formed a layer of ice stubble.
These patterns drawn by the ghostly cold water began on the ground under his feet, and the old monster concentrated on smearing them one by one.
Xiao Tian peeked in the dark, watching with his own eyes as this piece of deep ink color grew from nothing, from less to more, and gradually converged into an oval ring with a radius of five feet, and at this moment, except for a small piece of ground near his body, the surrounding area had turned black.
This eerie circle is nearing completion. Countless strange patterns connected together, large and small, flashed with black light, and at first glance, it looked like a netherworld, and the dark and deep cold water was like a ghost in the middle of the night, swimming happily.
Rao is old monster has a deep Taoism, and he can't help but feel a little tired after doing this, and the sleepy voice slowly sounded in Xiao Tian's mind, "Pay attention." ”
Xiao Tian took a deep breath and looked forward, in front of him was a ghost qi cold water array that had been completely connected, and the black passages all over the ground imprisoned countless cold water in it. And those deep cold water and blood, as if affected by an invisible force, began to flow in the same direction almost simultaneously on the flat ground, and there was not a trace of pen marks in the middle that were like blood.
From one end to the other, and then back from the connected passages, it becomes a weekly cycle, endless, and endless.
Xiao Tian only glanced at it, and was deeply surprised, although he was not as capable as the old monster, but he had also cultivated for a long time, and when he saw such a strange formation, there was immediately a sense of surprise in his eyes.
The old monster rested for a moment, shook his hand gently, and put his fingers upside down in front of him, his fingertips downward, and from that finger, there was a residual cold water of his own, condensed into beads, and after struggling and lingering on the fine hair for a while, it fell silently, blending into the black cold water river in front of him.
Xiao Tian couldn't take his eyes off it, and the beads of sweat that were originally dense on his forehead suddenly disappeared, and in this space, there was a sudden condensation!
I saw that his eyebrows slowly raised, and the vast eyes that represented the old monster slowly lit up, and the blood in the magic circle in front of him seemed to be stimulated by something, and the speed of the rush suddenly accelerated.
The upside-down fingers slowly fell, and soon touched the ground, three inches in front of the outermost Mo River. Mori Bai's fingertips touched the ground, but they didn't bend, and the whole ground suddenly seemed to turn into soft water, and these two fingers were inserted into the ground slowly and silently.
The atmosphere in the scene slowly became weird, accompanied by the faster and faster inky river, gradually emitting a faint whistling sound, and a faint ghost aura gradually rose from this magic circle as the finger penetrated deep into the ground.
After a moment, the old monster was suddenly shaken, and the low chanting voice began to reverberate. Between his lips, he spat out one strange tone after another with a slight but frequent expression, one hand was still inserted into the ground with his fingers, and the other hand seemed to slowly stretch out into the air with an inexplicable melody, and his five fingers formed claws and waved gently.
The whistling sound around was getting louder and louder, and on the ground, the Mo River in the magic circle was already turbulent at the moment, flowing wildly wave after wave, and bursts of ghost power were roaring from this cold water ghost river. Suddenly, the old monster spat out a sharp roar from his mouth, and the five fingers of one hand buckled down like claws, and grabbed into the river of blood with a "poof".
Almost at the same time, Xiao Tian was at a loss for a while, and at that moment, he only felt that everything around him no longer existed, and the scenery in all directions, the upper and lower heavens and the earth, suddenly became empty, as if he was in Sumeru, the vast sky, gloomy, dark and gloomy, and there was nothing to rely on.
I only heard the sound of ghosts crying, and they swarmed from all directions, and the faint black light burst out from the great array of ghost qi and cold water, and rose to the sky. In the swaying of the ghostly light, countless ghostly shadows were panicked, as if they were absorbed by an invisible huge force, they couldn't help themselves, scurrying around, but they couldn't get out of the black light curtain no matter what.
At this moment, the old monster pointed to this layer of light curtain and said: "This is the barrier of the interface, break through it, and you can communicate with other interfaces for a short time." ”
Xiao Tian's heart was shocked, he didn't expect this old monster to really have such a means, and he actually used the power of ghosts and supernatural powers to manifest the rumored untouchable interface barrier, this cultivation attainment, I am afraid that it is the pinnacle of the world today.
It's just that this magic array is so magical, it naturally consumes a lot of vitality, and the old monster's cultivation can't last long, he urged: "My formation is based on the ancient magic 'Soul Summoning Guidance', although the power is incomparable, but it consumes extremely energy, didn't you collect the souls of the people of the Shanyang Sect from Heyang City, release them quickly, ignite the ghosts, and use the power of soul extinction to break through this barrier." ”
After that, the shadow behind him moved, and the old monster retreated, and at the same time, Xiao Tian instantly gained control of his body, hurriedly held up the skull, and drank: "The matter is urgent, don't delay, let the ghosts come out!"
Hearing this, the skull opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of black gas, and between the thick mist, phantoms floated out, manifesting into the appearance of everyone in the Shanyang Sect.
The old monster was already waiting beside him, and as soon as he grabbed it in the air, the huge mana splashed out, and he captured all the souls, and without saying a word, a ghost fire rose in his palm, igniting all these ghosts.
"Ahh
A chaotic scream followed, and the ghosts began to wail, but no matter how much they resisted, they could not struggle, and could only watch as their souls were little by little, burning and emitting the last light.
The old monster waved his sleeves and threw all the burning ghosts into the light curtain in the formation. I saw that the remnant soul exploded like explosives, and the light curtain rippled, and the stalemate was almost broken.
He drank: "Quick, it's now, insert your fingers into the light curtain, and use the evil roots on your fingers to absorb the nine mysteries in the netherworld." ”
Xiao Tian nodded, took a deep breath, raised his finger, and was just about to insert the light curtain there according to the way the old monster said, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a ghost in the corner of his eye, and he was stunned for a moment.
The ghostly figure, with its hair scattered, burning in pain, looked so weak that it could not cry out with its mouth open, and could only stare at itself with hatred. Full of unwillingness and anger.
Zhao Dou!
Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment, and patted his head, "Ah, I forgot, when I was fighting with Lin Zhengyan, Zhao Dou was slapped and kept hiding in the skull to cultivate, I said that I let him enter reincarnation afterwards, but I forgot it, it's really damned!"
As he said this, he felt remorseful in his heart, and hurriedly reached out to grab it, and carefully grabbed Zhao Dou, who was still breathing, back from the ghost fire.
At this time, Zhao Dou was already dying, but he was shocked when he saw Xiao Tian's actions, and his spirit soared to stimulate the hidden potential, and he roared, rose to the sky and broke free from the burning of the ghost fire, and turned to Xiao Tian and bowed three times.
Xiao Tian waved his hand and said lightly: "This is what was agreed at the beginning, you can go." ”
Zhao Dou didn't say much when he saw this, he raised his head and roared, his tone was indescribably relaxed and cheerful, as if he had unloaded a thousand catties of heavy burden, coiled around Xiao Tian's body several times, and the next moment, it disappeared out of thin air.
The old monster who was resting and panting on the side, seeing this, his face changed greatly, as if he had seen something terrifying, his face turned pale instantly, and he asked in amazement, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Tianzheng stretched out his fingers to reach out to the light curtain, and was stunned when he heard the words, and his hand kept moving, but he turned his head and asked, "I let Zhao Dou go, and then continue to break through the interface, is there anything wrong?"
"Be bold!" In a moment, a little bead of sweat appeared on the old monster's head, as if he was in a hurry, and he scolded sharply: "Once the ghost fire begins to break the barrier, you can't act again, your indiscriminate extraction of soul will lead to a lack of follow-up, and the broken interface may not be the Netherworld, and it may become the Shura Realm! You!"
Xiao Tian was frightened by this stern remark, but when he looked at it, he suddenly relaxed again, smiled and shook his fingers, his fingers seemed to be inserted into the water, stirring up ripples on the light curtain, and he said: "Look, didn't I go in, don't scare me." ”
The old monster raised his eyes and looked at it, but it was okay not to look at it, but at first glance, the old face was pale, and his voice became sharp, and he hurriedly drank: "Stop it! Dare to shake around at the barrier of the interface, aren't you afraid of alarming the protector of the other world! You daredevil!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw an extremely vicious beast chasing after him from the depths of the formation, roaring in the dark, with teeth and claws, as if it was about to eat people. Xiao Tian was taken aback, and hurriedly withdrew his finger, and as soon as he pulled it out, the evil beast rushed closer.
A solemn, ferocious momentum suddenly enveloped him, as if a mountain was instantly pressed on the top of his head, Xiao Tian only felt a tightness in his chest, blood was stirring all over his body, and a violent discomfort almost made him vomit. And the huge beast that was even more terrifying than the ghost was right in front of him, its sharp fangs turned out, and a fishy stench mixed with a vicious wind blew between its mouths.
The power was so great that before he could get close, Xiao Tian, who was oppressed, stepped back. Xiao Tian was shocked, and his heart was instantly shrouded in fear.
The beast roared, like a huge thunder in the sky, and its huge body rushed in.
But unfortunately, as soon as the finger was withdrawn, the light curtain was closed, and the formation quickly dissipated, even though the evil beast was fierce and abnormal, it was still stopped by the interface barrier, and had to roar at Xiao Tian through the void.
Xiao Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could react, the old monster rushed to the nearest place, and scolded with a stinking scolding: "You dead boy, do you have to scare the old man to death? What do you do, where did you come from such tricks, you will shake off for a while, and you will be embarrassed for a while, and you will not be beaten for a few days, is your skin itchy..."
Covering his ears with his hands, after a long time, Xiao Tiancai smiled wryly, and shouted with a shy face: "That... Ahem, isn't it the first time I've encountered this kind of thing, it's not surprising that I'm a little curious, besides, letting Zhao Dou go is also what I promised him before, who knows that I can't retreat my soul halfway. ”
"What?!"
As soon as he heard this, the old monster who had just calmed down his anger suddenly raised his voice an octave, and rebuked angrily: "According to what you say, can you still hope that the old man will not succeed?
"Hey" Seeing that the old man was about to run away, Xiao Tian hurriedly diverted the topic, not daring to touch his head, but said: "What is the big guy who just chased him? Is it the protector of the interface?"
The old monster rolled his eyes and said coldly: "What kind of Dharma protector is that, at best, it's just a watchdog under the Dharma Protector." ”
