Chapter 176: The Sixth Layer Jiao Palace
First, under the guidance of Zhang Xuan's seniors, I lay on my back on the ground and slowly breathed, and then gradually sat up and meditated cross-legged. After some pranayama, I only felt that the qi in my body was becoming more and more full of qi, and the original sore body bones had become warmer, but the injury on the shoulder was still not getting better, it was still painful, but it was not as painful as before. After all, it is flesh and blood, and there are a few more blood holes on the body for no reason, and there is so much blood shed, it is strange that it does not hurt.
Even if an ordinary person wants to heal the wound, he has to take medicine to let it heal slowly. However, the yin poison in the wound has been dealt with by Zhang Xuan's predecessors, and in a moment and a half, I will definitely be alive again. Having said that, when I woke up from the meditation again, I don't know how long it had been, and I smiled slightly as I watched Zhang Xuan's senior leaning back on the stone steps not far away and pretending to sleep.
If it weren't for Zhang Xuan's predecessors, I don't know how many times I would have died now, and it was really my luck to be able to meet a master like Zhang Xuan's predecessors in my lifetime. Perhaps sensing that I was looking at him, Senior Zhang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and then asked with a smile, "How is it?" Are you feeling better? ”
"Thank you Senior Zhang for rescuing you several times, and Senior Zhang tolerated the trouble caused by Ergou's repeated recklessness, and every time Senior Zhang cleaned up the mess, Ergou felt ashamed, sorry Senior Zhang!" After speaking, I solemnly bent my legs and knelt down to Senior Zhang Xuan, and said sincerely: "Senior Zhang, as the saying goes, a manly man, kneel to the sky and the ground, kneel to the parents and kneel to the master, I have knelt to my master, and I have never knelt to anyone else, but this time I want to kneel to thank you for your kindness!" ”
As I spoke, I bent down heavily and knocked my head on the ground. Soon, Senior Zhang Xuan quickly stepped forward to help me up, and shook his head with a smile: "You kid, your heart is really sincere, hehe, okay, I, an old-timer, I have been worshiped by you just now." Now it's time to get up and talk about what's next, right? ”
"Hehe, it's all up to Senior Zhang, Ergou doesn't dare to make a mistake anymore!"
I lowered my head embarrassedly, the first few times it was because of my stubbornness that I ended up like this, I didn't suffer less, and I almost lost my life. Now I know that the words of Zhang Xuan's predecessors are all golden and jade good words!
Senior Zhang Xuan suddenly said happily: "Don't say it, in fact, it's all my fault this time, if I don't leave you, I won't let the soul detainer succeed and detain your soul, and make a big fuss about the Nai He Bridge in the underworld." So if you have something in your heart, you still have to say it when you need to say it, and it's better for the two of us to discuss it than to have an idea alone! "I didn't expect Zhang Xuan's predecessors to be so polite.
However, I think Zhang Xuan's predecessor said this on purpose. I always feel that every time I encounter trouble, it seems that I should have encountered it in my life, just take the ghost in the fifth layer of Jiaodian this time, Zhang Xuan's predecessor once said that he knows what kind of ghost is in this fifth-layer Jiaodian, since he knows that it is a ghost, plus I was in a dying state at the time, once the ghost appeared, I had no external help, but I would definitely die.
At that time, Zhang Xuan's predecessor was not by my side, could it be that Zhang Xuan's predecessor deliberately let me experience this catastrophe? Or do I have this doom in my life? It's just that Zhang Xuan's predecessors didn't tell me directly, maybe they are the same as bulls and horses, they don't want to reveal the secret of heaven, they are always so mysterious and secretive, and if it weren't for careful conjecture, they wouldn't understand their minds at all.
I don't understand their profound wisdom, in short, after going through this test on the verge of life and death, I seem to have gained something, but I can't say it for a while. And Senior Zhang Xuan had a haha expression on his face, and he clearly didn't want to talk to me about those things in the underworld, and it was inconvenient for me to ask more, so he immediately nodded and said: "Senior Zhang, then we will now look for the entrance to the sixth layer Jiaodian, if the sixth layer is smoother, then we will be closer and closer to the ninth layer Jiaodian!" ”
"Huh!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xuan's predecessor smiled bitterly again, and then said: "The more we go to the Jiao Hall below, I am afraid that the demons we are going to encounter will be more powerful...... I originally sensed that the Jiao Cave here had reached a state of checks and balances, and the upper and lower nine layers of Jiao Cave could be regarded as keeping to themselves, of course, provided that no one came to break this check and balance. ”
After a pause, Senior Zhang Xuan said again: "It's different now, if we want to go to the bottom, we must have a face-to-face with the demons in this layer of Jiao Palace, correspondingly, it also breaks their original checks and balances, and it arouses their anger that has not yet dissolved, so that we are like coming to break into the palace." They will inevitably rise up to resist, in short, it doesn't make sense to reason, if you want to pass through their territory, you can only use the supreme Dao to subdue them! ”
"So, what kind of demons will there be in the sixth layer?" I stared curiously at Senior Zhang Xuan.
Senior Zhang Xuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "If you ask me this, I can't say it." Because I can only sense the fifth layer, from the sixth layer of Jiao Hall downwards, those demons all have the way to become the climate, but the more demons like this, the more they know how to conform to the way of heaven, and they dare not be born easily to cause trouble. So I don't have to run over and touch their mold! ”
It turned out that Zhang Xuan's predecessors didn't know what the demons in the sixth layer Jiao Hall were. If we know what's inside, we can take some precautions in advance, but if we don't know, then only the blind man touches the elephant and understands it little by little.
glanced around, but saw that the fifth layer of Jiao Palace, it was still pitch black, as if this place was naturally filled with a black gas, although I opened my eyes now and could see things more clearly, it was still far from enough. It's hard for me. After thinking about it, I asked at a loss: "Senior Zhang, how big is this fifth-layer Jiao Palace?" If we look for the entrance to the passage now, when will we find it? ”
"I've found the passage." Senior Zhang Xuan appeared in front of him, showed me the way, and said as he walked: "You just meditated and breathed, and it took you six hours, so in these six hours, I searched the entire cave, and it can be regarded as living up to my hard work and finding it for me." Look ahead! As he spoke, Senior Zhang Xuan pointed out to me a plain stone wall, which seemed to be no different from other places.
But my eyes didn't pay much attention to the stone wall, anyway, the location of the passage has been determined, and my eyes have been staring at Senior Zhang Xuan now, and then I asked blankly: "Senior Zhang, I ...... I just meditated for six hours? This, this is really incredible! You must know that on weekdays, I can meditate for more than four hours, and my legs seem to be broken, and the pain is unbearable, but this time, in the blink of an eye, six hours have passed, and that is a full day or night......"
"Huh! If you have enlightenment, you will be diligent, and on the road of cultivation, there will always be unexpected surprises! Senior Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, and then continued: "Every time you experience trials and tribulations now, they will become the cornerstone of your future enlightenment, don't underestimate the current unhappiness, and don't neglect the tempering given to you by the Great Dao, be sure to treat all kinds of difficulties on the path of cultivation with a strict cultivation heart!" ”
I don't understand why Senior Zhang Xuan suddenly told me this, as if I would really become a Taoist in the future. I think that with my current Dao practice of half a bucket of water, it is not easy to cultivate to the realm of Master, let alone achieve Dao Fruit. Moreover, Master has been cultivating for decades, but he still hasn't attained enlightenment for a long time, so I don't have to think about that, just do a good job now.
Senior Zhang Xuan pointed to the stone wall in front of him and said, "Let's see if I can open it!" "Hearing this, I knew that Zhang Xuan's predecessor wanted me to move my muscles and bones to see how far my body had recovered, so I naturally didn't dare to slack off, nodded heavily, and took out the bundle of immortal ropes from the yellow cloth bag, as if I had experienced those previous changes, and now I was holding the magic weapon again, and I had a feeling of being lost for a long time.
Taking two steps back slightly, I slammed my arm, and the rope jumped up, exploding in mid-air with a deafening bang. At the same time that the bundle of immortal ropes slowly fell, I suddenly sank my wrist and pulled the bundle of immortal ropes back with a huge impact, and immediately, I kicked the ground under my feet, and the whole person jumped up, almost using all his strength, and dragged the dragon-like bundle of immortal ropes back, and drew a huge wave of whirlpools in the air, and smashed into the stone wall in front of me.
"Bang!"
A dull explosion sounded, but I didn't see any movement on the stone wall, I frowned a little embarrassed, just fell to the ground, and suddenly hit the bundle of fairy ropes again, three explosions in a row, finally, let me see a crack with fine lines, appeared on the stone wall. Finally let me regain some confidence, put away the bundle of immortal ropes, I grinned: "Senior Zhang, the entrance to the passage is open, hehe!" ”
With that, I strode over to the crack, stretched out my hand and gently pushed it, only to see that the stone wall collapsed like a gable. A narrow and deep passage entrance was revealed, and seeing this, Senior Zhang Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, now we will go to meet the demons in the sixth layer Jiao Palace!" ”
