Chapter 22: Secrecy
readx; This underworld official named Tuoba Kong seemed to be very expressive, and he admired the curious expressions of Arthur and the others, and poured beans into a bamboo tube to tell everything he knew about the Fifth Tribulation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, after all, he is only a member of the middle and lower levels of the underworld, and he doesn't know much about the specific things in it, but it is better than the random speculation of Arthur and others.
According to Tuoba Kong, this fifth tribulation seems to involve a lot of outsiders. I don't know where these people came from, but there are several cultivators who are on par with saints. In the last chaotic battle, almost all the saints made a move, and even Hongjun also showed up, and as a result, even the chaos was penetrated, directly forming a realm, and taking away half of the luck of the earth immortal realm.
When that realm was newly formed, a spatial crack was formed in the place where Buzhou Mountain in the Earth Immortal Realm was located, and it emitted a huge suction force, and many living beings were involved in it. And at that time, all the saints were injured a lot, and they entered cultivation, and the forces such as the Heavenly Court and the Earthly Mansion, which had suffered great losses, were also closed one after another, so naturally no one cared about this matter.
The huge spatial rift lasted for a long time before it gradually disappeared, and during this time, I don't know how many living beings were swept into the new realm. In fact, not only living beings, but also many famous mountains and rivers, and even a small part of the four seas have been swept in, which has caused even more losses to the four seas.
Not only that, but a small part of the Buzhou Mountain transformed by the backbone of Pangu was swept into it and disappeared. This is a huge loss after the Lich War Gonggong crashed into Buzhou Mountain. Although the damage was not much, it still had an impact on Buzhoushan. I haven't recovered until now.
It is said that one of the three islands of Penglai, Yingzhou and Hojo in the East China Sea has also disappeared, but none of the three islands have appeared in the previous catastrophes, and the impact is not great.
Compared to the abundance of talents in the Heavenly Court, the underworld is much worse. Because of this, he didn't participate much in the final battle, and because he saved a lot of strength. If they don't come out today, they will have a lot of people who can come out and walk, and this Tuoba Kong is one of them.
In fact, it is said that it is an underworld official, and Tuoba Kong is only one level higher than Yincha, but these monks who came from before the fifth tribulation. They don't look down on the monks of the Earth Immortal Realm today. If the saint doesn't come forward to take back half of the luck, the talents of the Earth Immortal Realm will continue to wither. Although he is only a small underworld official, if you want to calculate your lifespan, even Taiyi Golden Immortal is not as good as them. After all, they are ghosts themselves, and as long as they don't use special means, they are immortal.
"Now that the underworld is closed, you are still so arrogant, is it because you are bullying us and can't do anything to you?" Little Alice said curiously, her eyes flashing with an unknown light, which made Tuoba Kong suddenly feel a little chill behind her.
"Ahem, cough ......," Tuoba said twice. Hide your discomfort, but it's not as arrogant as before, but the sense of superiority is still obvious, "Although it is said that the underworld is closed, we can still walk in the world." Besides, we are under the orders of the Lady of Peace. Take care of the soul realm. Now that the soul realm is about to open, this official naturally wants to follow the routine to come and take a look. ”
Hearing him say that he was calm, the eyes of almost everyone present lit up, so that Tuobakong, who was already a little bottomless, was startled when he saw it, his lips trembled a few times, and he tried to put on a calm appearance, and said lightly: "How?" Still have questions? ”
Arthur and the others also found that their reactions were a little bigger, and they all immediately restrained their expressions. Xiao Xiao, who was very deceptive in appearance, said comfortingly: "Thank you for solving our doubts, I don't know how many errand officials are walking in the world now?" ”
Although Tuoba Kong is a little lacking in roots, there is still a basic sense of vigilance. Wen Yan glared suspiciously: "What are you doing at this time?" ”
Because the whites of his eyes are very large, this staring expression is very scary to do, and if every yin is as virtuous as him, it is no wonder that many adults will use them to scare children.
Arthur grinned and continued, "We have arrested you, and we can be regarded as offending the underworld." Of course, you have to inquire about the situation beforehand, otherwise what do you think? ”
Tuoba Kong glared again, the bloodshot on his eyeballs looked very scary, probably because he felt annoyed that Arthur still refused to lift the ban for himself after knowing his identity, and his tone was a lot colder: "You still know the power of the underworld, do you still want to imprison this official?" Aren't you afraid of the blame of the peaceful mother? ”
"I think Ping Xinniang should understand, after all, we did this for a reason." Little Alice laughed, but there was no smile in her eyes.
Tuoba Kong was a little stunned, but immediately reacted: "You shouldn't know what kind of identity Pingxin Niangniang is, but you are so fearless, could it be that you are not the monks you are today...... Wrong! You're really not the monks you are today, but you're really not old...... This...... What's going on here? ”
After carefully examining little Alice, Tuobakong's eyes widened again, only this time in surprise. He spoke incoherently, as if he had seen something incomprehensible.
Little Alice hugged Song Yunshu and smiled happily. She deliberately removed the disguise on her soul just now, just to see Tuoba Kong's reaction, and sure enough, she was not disappointed.
"When are we, monks? Aren't you still in this world now? If you want to prove Da Luo, it will not be easy to go anywhere. Augustine had a rare receptive receptivity, for he did not quite understand the meaning of Tuoba's words.
Since half of the luck of the Earth Immortal Realm has been divided, even if it is an ancient immortal, can it be possible to prove Da Luo?
Tuoba Kong swept around Arthur and the others in disbelief, the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger, and he didn't even pay attention to what Augustine said, and muttered in his mouth: "Could it be that it is to take away?" Wrong...... If you take it, the fit between the soul and the body/body is not so high at all...... What the hell is going on......"
Augustine, who did not get a response, was a little dissatisfied, so he took out a bell that could shake people's hearts and shook it, and the crisp bell suddenly woke Tuoba Kong up.
"Answer my question." Seeing that he came back to his senses, Augustine put away the bell and said lightly.
Tuoba Kong, who reacted, frowned, he didn't hear Augustine's question just now.
Augustine also saw it, and this time he repeated his question again with a very good temper.
This time, Tuoba Kong finally listened carefully, then glanced at Augustine strangely, shook his head and said: "I don't know how you have gone from the past to the present, but there is no trace of time on your body, but if you are really an ancient immortal, it will be easier for the Tao between heaven and earth, and it will be easier when crossing the tribulation, especially the Da Luo Jin Immortal Tribulation." ”
"Why is that?"
"Actually, I've only heard about it." Tuoba Kong changed his self-title back and did not use "Benguan" again, obviously thinking that the identity of Arthur and the others was extraordinary, "It is said that before the Fifth Tribulation, the Tao between heaven and earth was very clear, and it was naturally much easier for monks to comprehend. And if there is chaos today, the Tao in it is not obvious, and today's monks naturally have to pay more if they want to participate in enlightenment, and they should have been more sensitive than the ancient immortals, but the ancient immortals have a very high degree of compatibility with the Tao of the earth immortal world, which is not comparable to today's monks. In this way, although it is more difficult than before, it is still easier for the Ancient Immortals to prove Da Luo. ”
Augustine groaned for a while, and Fang nodded, agreeing with this statement.
Maybe it's because Arthur and the others are more intimidating as "ancient immortals", and Tuoba Kong is more cooperative, but when asked about the current situation in the underworld, he didn't say a word. Due to the fact that the people in the underworld are very resistant to soul searching, Arthur and the others can't control it, so they can only give up temporarily. However, for the situation in the soul realm, Tuoba Kong did not hide it.
According to Tuoba Kong, the spirits in the soul realm were actually transformed by monks who died in the catastrophe that year. Because some of them were too strong, most of the people in the underworld couldn't cope with it, so he used his best strength to open up a space between the underworld and the human world to house these spirits. And after the local immortal realm was redeveloped, Ping Xin felt that these spirits would help improve the level of the earth immortal realm, so he opened the soul realm from time to time, so that people from the earth immortal realm could enter and practice. And such as Tuoba Kong, it is the person who is sent out to observe the situation before opening the soul realm every time.
However, Tuoba Kong's mission was not ordered by Ping Xin himself, after all, his status was too low. It's not just him, even his top can't see peace. But according to him, peace has not appeared for a long time. But now that the saints have not come out, they will not have any doubts, let alone ask where Pingxin is going.
When asked if there was a passage in the soul world to connect with the underworld, Tuoba Kong was silent again. It seems that although this guy is still good at talking, he is very loyal to the underworld.
Seeing that they couldn't ask anything anymore, Arthur and the others didn't ask anymore, and only asked Xuan Qi to put people away again, and they wouldn't let him go back.
"Actually, I suspect that Pingxin Niangniang should know what we did, and even know that my mother is here." Arthur leaned back on the couch and looked up at the roof thoughtfully.
Little Alice shrugged: "This is normal. It's not just them, it's estimated that our teachers and uncles all know that my mother is here. They are all saints, and it's easy to know what to do, just pinch your fingers. ”
"Not necessarily, right? If today's machine is chaotic, it is difficult to make calculations. Even if they were saints, it would not be too easy to know some precise information. Eva shook her head.
"Anyway, these things must be expected by the ancestor, but I don't know what his old man is thinking." Arthur remembered the terrifying ancestor, and couldn't help but look out the door, as if the ancestor was watching them from an unknown place.
In fact, their master didn't have time to pay attention to them, he stood in front of his seven apprentices with a serious expression.
