Chapter XVII: Under the River
After Zhiwei sent Liu Ziyi back, he came to the source of the Zimu River alone, at this time the crowd that had been gathered together had dispersed, Zhiwei looked around, there were not many people, so jump down. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhiwei chose a place where no one was there and jumped in, when he entered the water, he immediately held his breath and tightened his mouth, he didn't want to drink the water of the Zimu River, the water of the Zimu River made people pregnant. If you accidentally drink it yourself, you're in trouble.
However, with Zhiwei's current internal force, he can hold his breath in the water for more than an hour without needing to float, when he enters the water, Zhiwei has already begun to use the internal force, the internal force flows through the eyes, and those eyes are in a trance, directly seeing through everything at the bottom of the river.
Zhiwei looked at the bottom of the river, the bottom of the river is very clean, this may be the source, no one throws things into the river, but this place is too clean, which makes Zhiwei feel very strange, he just saw that there are a lot of people who put things in, why is it missing now.
He didn't believe that the gentle river could wash away those garbage, Ye Feng went down the river, slowly swimming, and in less than a moment, he turned back again, there was nothing downstream, so maybe there was something above?
Zhiwei went upstream, crossed the source of the Zimu River, and when he entered the dark river, he found something magical, the water level of the Zimu River crossed the source and became shallower, Zhiwei swam slowly, and soon, he had to stand up, and when his mind was out of the water, he screamed in surprise.
Don't have a cave, this is the only word Zhiwei found to describe it, if he didn't sneak into it, who would find that next to the dark river here, there is actually a Dao Palace, and there are many people standing on the Dao Palace now.
Zhiwei looked at those people and found that those people were all wearing the official uniforms of the Xiliang Women's Country, and the one who took the lead was not the emperor that Zhiwei saw, but the prime minister.
A little before the prime minister, but he was a Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest was now preparing to worship something, isn't there no Taoism here? Could it be that there are people here who secretly believe in Taoism? But there is no sect forbidden in the Xiliang Women's Country, where is the need for secret faith?
Zhiwei looked at those people from a distance, and he had already determined that the Taoist priest was the master of those two people on Xie Yang Mountain, because his clothes were exactly the same as those two.
In the dark, Zhiwei slowly touched it, and the closer he walked, the more he heard their speech, and then the prime minister spoke: "Dao Chief, can you really succeed this time?" ”
Dao Chang turned his head and smiled, and said, "My lord, who dares to guarantee that it will succeed, but this opportunity is better than the previous ones, and it may be possible to succeed." ”、
The prime minister sighed and said, "Hopefully, otherwise it will be troublesome next time." ”
The Taoist nodded and said, "Indeed, now the emperor seems to be suspicious of us. ”
After the Taoist finished speaking, he took out a handful of hay and threw it directly into the fire next to him, as soon as the hay was ignited by the flames, bursts of blue light came out directly, Zhiwei looked at the weird blue light, he thought about something silently.
At this time, the Taoist silently recited some scriptures in his mouth, and the flames continued to change with the scriptures, and in the flames, Zhiwei saw a lot of pictures, including the people worshipping, the hundred officials at the court meeting, and the overhead view of the entire Xiliang Women's Kingdom.
What's going on? Zhiwei knew for sure that this flame was abnormal, but he never thought that it was so weird, he could see the previous picture in the flame, was it some kind of divination? However, Zhiwei doesn't feel like it, Taoist divination doesn't need to be so cumbersome, they usually only need a few tools, and now, that Taoist person is not divining.
The Taoist looked at the picture on the flames, and he said, "It seems that this time there is a chance to succeed. ”
After speaking, he pulled out the peach wood sword on his body and stabbed it at the king of Xiliang Nu Kingdom in the flames, but when the peach wood sword touched the flames, it spontaneously combusted, and the man frowned and looked at his burning wooden sword, he shook his head and said: "Almost, almost, as if something is resisting us." ”
At this time, the prime minister said happily: "Dao Chief, this time we are only a little short of success, next time we find a good weapon, then it is estimated that we will succeed." ”
"It's hard to find weapons." The Taoist sighed and said, "And we don't have many opportunities, it won't be good if we are discovered... ”
"That's useless, it depends on luck whether it works or not." The prime minister also sighed.
The rest of the people also seemed to be full of unwilling expressions, but they had to wait for the next time.
When the ceremony was completed, the prime minister left the cave with the rest of the officials, but at this time, the man turned his head to look at the water and said, "Shaoxia, haven't you come out yet?" ”
Zhiwei immediately knew that he had been discovered, and he had no choice but to get out of the water.
The man looked at Zhiwei who came out, frowned and thought about something, and after a while, he suddenly said, "You are not human. ”
What am I not human? Zhiwei looked at the Taoist speechlessly, and at this time, the Taoist continued: "You don't have the three souls and seven spirits of a human being. ”
How! Zhiwei looked at the Taoist in surprise, the Taoist seemed to have discovered something, and he asked, "Daoist, why am I not human?" And how could I have survived if I hadn't had three souls and seven spirits. ’
The Taoist shook his head and said, "I can't calculate your heels, so if there is no great power to help you cover up your past, or you are not in the Three Realms and Six Realms." ’
Zhiwei listened to his words, laughed, and said, "Dao Chief, what do you know, the Three Realms and Six Dao are so big, how many things do you think you know?" ”
"That's right." The Taoist suddenly admitted that he was inadequate, which made Zhiwei very surprised, and at this time, the Taoist continued: "Then what are you doing here, young man? ”
Zhiwei retracted his surprise, and he asked, "Dao Chief, I don't know what you are doing here?" I'm interested in what you do. ”
The Taoist looked at Zhiwei, Zhiwei originally thought that he would not explain, but the Taoist said: "Oh, it turns out that you want to know, then it doesn't hurt to tell you, the current king is taken by demons, and the king's spirit does not know where to be suppressed by demons, and now we are looking for it." ”
The king's spirit was suppressed by demons? Zhiwei looked at the Taoist uncertainly, he thought back to the king he had just seen, the king did seem to have a bit of demonic energy, could it be that what the Taoist said was true? However, even if it is true, a Taoist came all the way here and established such a large Taoist temple, who believes that it is just to get rid of demons?
The Taoist valued Zhiwei's face, and he seemed to be waiting for Zhiwei to reply.
At this time, Zhiwei asked his own questions.
"Dao Chief, even if you want to get rid of demons, you don't need to establish a Taoist temple."
"Yes, but I'm not here to exorcise demons." The Taoist generously acknowledges his purpose.
