Chapter 187: Ice Abyss (4)
Changning has been on for nine days, but he has never gone underground, especially at a depth of several thousand meters underground, the passage leading to the cold flame vein of the sect is not straight and smooth, Changning followed behind the senior sister, and he didn't know how many twists and turns he had passed, during which there was an underground undercurrent, and there was more magma spewing out...... Changning was dizzying, she also found that there seemed to be a formation set up here, and the passage seemed to be changing all the time, no wonder the senior sister brought outsiders in without any cover-up, no one led the way, and outsiders didn't figure out the formation at all.
Qin Yiqing has always been paying attention to the situation of the junior sister behind her, seeing that she not only did not feel any discomfort, but was very interested in the underground environment, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, she guessed that He'er would like it. Compared with Qin Yiqing's laid-back sisters, Lin Lang and the Black Fire brothers are much more cautious, Lin Lang's cultivation is not as good as Qin Yiqing, and it is the first time to come here, and there are also junior brothers who are obviously unable to hold on. Heihuo's face was pale, and he was holding his senior brother tightly with one hand, obviously the pressure from the ground made him a little unbearable.
"Ah Huo-" Lin Lang wanted to add protection to his junior brother, but Heihuo didn't want to, he wanted to hold on by himself. Lin Lang patted his junior brother comfortingly, and when he saw Changning with a calm expression behind Qin Yiqing, he secretly thought in his heart that this girl was much younger than his junior brother, but her cultivation was much higher, and he didn't know how Taishang Sect cultivated these elite disciples.
The four of them didn't know how long they had walked, Changning's eyes suddenly brightened, Qin Yiqing took the three of them to a spacious cave, the top of the cave was about dozens of zhang high, long ice crystals hung down from the top of the cave, the cave was cold, condensed into a mist, Changning had been in the ice abyss for a long time, and had long been accustomed to the cold, and felt that the operation of spiritual power began to slow down significantly, and the ice fog even isolated her divine sense. However, the most striking thing is that there is an unfathomable pit under the cave, and the wind howls angrily, like the terrible howl of a foreign object. With Changning's current mental cultivation, when he swept to this abyss, he had some palpitations, and he didn't know what kind of place this was?
"Senior sister." A cold voice sounded, and a male cultivator appeared in the cave silently, most of the male cultivator's face was hidden in the mask, and his body almost became one with the ice mist of the cave.
Qin Yiqing said to him, "Sixth Senior Brother, this is the Black Water Daoist who has come to cultivate. ”
The male cultivator bowed slightly, "Please come with me." ”
Lin Lang entered with the male cultivator with Heihuo, he would not accompany Heihuo to cultivate together, but he also had to settle down with his junior brother to rest assured. Changning wanted to see the cold flame, and followed behind the three of them, the more they went in, the heavier the cold became, Changning even felt the rich yin qi in these cold air, the ice surface in the cave was full of ravines, and from time to time there were semi-solidified cold slurry flowing through, and occasionally a few sporadic cold flames floated by, if it wasn't for the senior sister saying that this was a fire vein, she would have thought it was a cold volcano.
"Crane, can you still get used to it?" Qin Yiqing asked.
Does Senior Sister want her to stay here for a while? Changning felt it, "Yes." "The aura here is strong, and there is even a lot of yin qi, which is not as good as the Yin Underworld Island, and it is much more than other places, and it is a good place to refine and cultivate magic puppets.
"If you want, you can cultivate here for a while." Qin Yiqing said, "But the environment here is more difficult than the ice abyss. ”
"It's good here." Changning is not picky about the environment for temporary cultivation, there is a lot of pressure here, and the spiritual power is not running smoothly, but this situation is the best time to open up the meridians and refine the spiritual power, but the time can't be too long, too long will hurt the meridians even more, she feels that it is unlikely to advance in the short term, and it is not bad to stay here to cultivate. Even if it is just a little bit of meridian expansion, the accumulation of hundreds of years in the next few hundred years is still a great growth.
Qin Yiqing took Changning out of the cold flame vein, and returned to the spacious cave again, she walked straight to the abyssless pit, Changning calmly followed behind the senior sister, she believed that the senior sister would definitely not harm herself, Qin Yiqing saw that the junior sister jumped down with her without thinking about it, and her heart was both happy and worried, happy that the little girl believed in herself, and worried that she would be so trusted by everyone in the future?
"Senior sister, where are we going?" Changning approached his senior sister and asked with the power of sliding.
"Go to the sect formation." Qin Yiqing said.
"Soldiers?" Changning looked at his senior sister puzzled, the sect also has Taoist soldiers here? However, the bodies of the two suddenly sank rapidly, Changning glanced at the senior sister, saw that she looked calm, and had no luck to resist, after the body fell sharply for a while, the fall gradually slowed down, and a loud rumbling sound sounded in his ears, and a surging long river appeared in front of Changning, the flow of this long river was dark black, and both the width and length were unpredictable. Changning narrowed her eyes, with her eyesight, this shouldn't be the case, right? Could it be that there is another mystery here?
"Crane, come with me." Qin Yiqing said and walked towards a high raised boulder, there were actually many tents set up on that boulder, Changning counted about hundreds, because the boulder was really wide, so these hundreds of tents looked inconspicuous.
"Senior sister, is there anyone living here?" Changning was surprised.
"Those who are here are all inner disciples, at least they also need to cultivate as a golden pill, usually by the Yuanying monk to enter the Yin Netherworld to cultivate, you can cultivate here for a period of time, you don't need to enter the Netherworld, and occasionally deal with a few ghosts who escaped from Huangquan." Qin Yiqing said.
"What is the Netherworld?" Changning asked strangely, "Is it another space?" ”
"No, the Yin Netherworld is opposite this Yellow Spring, this is still the name of the Ancient Sword Sect for that world, the creatures in it are born only Yin God without *, similar to Yin ghosts but not exactly Yin ghosts, so the Sword Sect calls them the Yin Netherworld, and many ghost cultivation techniques in the cultivation world come from here." Qin Yiqing talked about the origin of the netherworld, and the netherworld doesn't know when it existed, if they live on the ground, then the inhabitants of the netherworld live underground, and they are like the sea tribes in the sea.
But whether it is a creature on land or a creature in the sea, they are all flesh and blood creatures, but the creatures of the underworld exist in the form of a yin god, similar to the ghosts after the fall of the monks, and were called the underworld by the ancient monks. People have immortals, ghosts also have ghosts and immortals, as long as the ghost cultivators do not wantonly mutilate living beings, there are few monks who will shout and kill the ghost cultivators, but the underworld is similar to the ghost cultivators, but they are not exactly ghost cultivators, they are born with an inexplicable desire for flesh and blood creatures, once they break through the Yellow Spring and come to the world, they will use the characteristics of the race to take away.
It must be known that there are great restrictions on monks taking away their homes, not all Yin gods can be integrated with the physical body, once they take away, their cultivation will also turn into nothingness, but the underworld has a strange technique, which can not only make the Yin God completely fit with the physical body, but even bring their own original cultivation. Therefore, when the ancient monks first discovered the Hades, they made the Hades the mortal enemies of all flesh and blood.
The Ancient Sword Sect even used the formation to seal the entire Yellow Spring, after the defeat of the Sword Sect, the Taishang Sect occupied the original position of the Sword Sect, and learned from the classics left by the Sword Sect that this race also sent monks to strengthen the formation. The formation is dead, but the underworld is alive, and no formation can ensure the safety of countless years, so the Taishang Sect will send monks here every few years to guard the formation, exterminate the underworld who have no intention of escaping from the formation, and even occasionally let the Yuanying monk lead the team to go deep into the Yellow Spring to hunt the underworld to nourish and strengthen the strength of the sect.
"This is the only entrance to the Netherworld? Or is it still there somewhere else? Changning asked.
"No one knows how big the Netherworld is, and there are more than just Sword Sects in the ancient texts that have records of the Netherworld, obviously more than this, but we only have this place in the Middle Continent." Qin Yiqing said.
"Then we're the only ones here?" Changning asked, is the pressure of such a sect too great?
"Of course not, it's our nine gates who take turns to be stationed, and when you advance to the Golden Pill, you may also enter the Netherworld, you now see how others deal with these underworlds." Qin Yiqing explained, He'er is a disciple of the master, she is still young, she only needs to concentrate on cultivation, and after she advances to the golden pill, she will be asked to contribute to the sect, Huangquan is a place where every inner disciple will guard, and many disciples will also use the underworld as a place for training.
"Since the entire Netherworld has been sealed, can we come out again once we go in?" Changning asked, can't you use the city scroll like playing a game, right?
"So the cultivation is not enough, and you are not allowed to enter when you are idle, once you go in, you must come back within the specified time, otherwise you won't be able to come back." Qin Yiqing said that in such a dangerous place as the Netherworld, the sect does not encourage disciples to explore, and the disciples who are allowed to enter are also carefully selected, but it is undeniable that the disciples who can retreat from the Netherworld are excellent disciples in the Jindan, even if they cannot advance to the Yuanying. The disciples of the Taishang Sect's Torture Hall and the Dark Division must be screened by the Netherworld, and these two places are also the places that most disciples want to go to.
"Senior sister, if that's the case, the Netherworld is a good place to refine the Five Ghosts and Yin Demon Flags." Changning said with a smile, with the Hades Clan, there is no need to bother refining magic puppets. Changning does not approve of entering the Netherworld to hunt the Hades, but he will not show mercy to the Hades who run to the ground.
Qin Yiqing, "Having said that, who can control so many underworld clans at once? "Collecting yin souls with magic weapons is different from refining puppets by monks themselves, the puppets they refine themselves are equivalent to a doppelganger, and they will never betray, unless the collected underworld is to erase the sanity, otherwise it may kill the master at any time, and the underworld who erases the sanity cannot cultivate, except for the instinctive devouring, it is useless.
"The world is so big that there are no surprises." Changning said with emotion that after coming to the Ice Abyss, she saw many magical little creatures.
"So when you have free time, you have to go out and walk more." Qin Yiqing said lightly, she also hoped to bring He'er here, she took advantage of the current relatively safe environment to get in touch with more places with a treacherous environment, unlike most people in Qingxu Palace who wanted to protect Changning under their wings, Qin Yiqing didn't want her junior sister to become an orchid carefully planted in the flower room, she should be a Su Lan who has experienced a storm in the wild, but is still beautiful. It is true that even if the crane does not cultivate, he can live comfortably for a lifetime, and he is reliable and relies on the flow of water, and the biggest reliance of a person is himself.
