Chapter 35: The Sealed Land, the Gate of the Underworld
After rushing out of the black hole, Bai Ruyi's eyes suddenly opened up. It's night over there, but it's daytime here.
However, the sky has remained a very oppressive dark yellow, and the ground is extremely desolate, and there are cracks everywhere. There are no flowers or trees, and there is not even any water source as far as the eye can see.
Except for the sporadic demons fighting each other, the rest are lifeless. Just as Dong Xuan said, there are many treasures here, but most of them have lost their original power and are scattered around.
It can be seen from the cracks on those blades that the battle of the ancient sealing ghosts was so tragic, Bai Ruyi put away the golden wings, and slowly landed on the ground, when he stepped out of this land, Bai Ruyi's heart welled up with complicated emotions.
There's fear, there's attachment, there's madness, there's compassion. These emotions made her unconsciously silent and her expression solemn.
"This is the Land of the Seals. Dong Xuan said, "Over there, it is the eye of this seal, not long ago, I went there once, but for some reason the power of the seal is a lot weaker, and I can only barely support it." ”
Bai Ruyi looked at the place where Dong Xuan pointed to, it was a seven-story pagoda, and above this pagoda, the ghost aura lingered, eroding the brilliance of the pagoda little by little.
The brilliance of the pagoda has been eroded, but the ghost qi is constantly thickening, and the damage to this seal is much more serious than what Dong Xuan said.
"You brought me here so that I could help you stabilize the seal?" Bai Ruyi asked.
Dong Xuan shook his head: "It's just a try, these days, I also have a general understanding of your strength, which is not enough to have an impact on this seal." ”
"Then why did you bring me here?" Bai Ruyi asked with some curiosity.
"Probably a fluke, after all, you have the potential to become a nine-tailed sky fox, and maybe you can have an impact on the seal. Dong Xuan thought for a moment and said, "However, this seal has not reacted to your arrival in the slightest, and it seems that there is no hope." ”
Dong Xuan's expression darkened, Bai Ruyi resisted the urge to tell Dong Xuan his true identity, and silently told himself that the trip to the Demon Realm was the key, and the power of the seal could not be spent here.
Seeing that Bai Ruyi was silent, Dong Xuan thought that Bai Ruyi was guilty of not helping, so he said with a smile: "Little fox, don't think too much, by the way, the gate of the underworld is on the edge of this sealed land, I will take you there." ”
Bai Ruyi nodded subconsciously, but was stunned to see Dong Xuan's face with such an expression, and sighed, getting along with Dong Xuan, he really couldn't relax for a moment.
"Little fox, although I don't want to hit you, but there is a saying in the world that people die like lights go out, and the cycle of life and death is the gift that Hou Tu Niang sacrificed herself. Dong Xuan said earnestly.
Human life, compared to the demons and gods, is only a short moment, and it is precisely because of this that the comprehension of life and death will be more thorough, and only those who lose will know the benefits.
"I know, you are very wordy, even more verbose than the master. Bai Ruyi said with some annoyance.
"I've been listening to you talk about the master, what kind of character is he?" Dong Xuan asked curiously.
"Master......" Bai Ruyi replied after a moment of silence, "Human, old man, old stubborn. ”
Bai Ruyi paused and added: "Erudite and talented, these four words are the evaluation of my mother's parents." ”
"Tut-tut, a person can actually be a master in the fox clan, and one day, he will definitely meet this old man. ”
Bai Ruyi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Then don't want it, Master, what the old man hates the most is your Taoist priest, saying that you are either inexhaustible and obsessed with secular power, or you are talking about heaven in vain and have no intentions, the former is to deceive the world and steal fame, and the latter is a wood carving mud pill in the temple, which is useless." ”
Dong Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Your master, you are really unforgiving." ”
"However, I think you are a good Taoist priest, and if you have a chance in the future, please go to my place to sit down, so that I can tell the master that there are at least people like you among this Taoist priests, and say, why do you wear Confucian robes instead of Taoist robes?"
Dong Xuan scratched his head, "No way, Confucian scholars in the human world are respected, if you wear a Taoist robe to swagger through the market, it is easy to be regarded as a charlatan." ”
Bai Ruyi chuckled, "It can be seen that what the old man said is right, you Taoist priests are really not good." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about this issue for now, worry, I'll take you to the gate of the underworld. Dong Xuan waved his hand and said, and then quickly sealed and walked with the sword.
Bai Ruyi spread his wings and soon followed Dong Xuan, "Daoist, can you teach me this sword technique?"
"Let's talk about it when you come back from the underworld!" Dong Xuan rolled his eyes, and an edict sped up.
The gate of the underworld in the sealed place is very dilapidated, the bronze gate has been weathered, and the patina will fall to the ground at the touch of it, Bai Ruyi is very suspicious that Dong Xuan is not lying to her, she can enter the underworld from this place?
Seeing the thoughts in Bai Ruyi's heart, Dong Xuan said: "This is not an ordinary road, the normal passage connecting the human world and the underworld should be called the Ghost Gate Pass, do you think you can enter it?"
These six realms have their own rules, and if they can cross borders at will, then this world is not chaotic.
"This is a door left in ancient times, go in, once you feel that something is wrong, come out of here, as long as you wait in the sealed place for ten days, the exit of the street will reappear. ”
"Why don't you go to the underworld with me to see it?" Bai Ruyi asked, this cave Xuan is a good thug, if he is dragged to the demon world, it will be very beautiful.
"Don't pull me if you're looking for a thug, I'm here for nothing, I have to go to various places to clean up those irrational wandering spirits, if you can't beat it, just run, you have that pair of wings, these six realms can compete with you in speed only a handful, even if you can catch up with you, I won't go to you for trouble as a junior." ”
After speaking, Dong Xuan waved his hand at Bai Ruyi and stopped looking at her.
After a while, Dong Xuan thought that Bai Ruyi had left, raised his head to take a look, and found that Bai Ruyi was still standing in place looking at him pitifully.
Dong Xuan supported his forehead, this little fox really doesn't regard himself as an outsider anymore. But although he thought so in his heart, he still took out a three-inch small sword and handed it to Bai Ruyi.
"I am a sword cultivator, and I don't have as many secret treasures as other cultivators, and the only thing I can do is the sword. ”
Bai Ruyi put away the sword and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, this little gadget is very good-looking, give me a thousand eight hundred, I don't dislike it." ”
