Chapter 121: Underground, Penglai
I raised my head in astonishment, looked at the clear moonlight hanging high in the sky, and then relied on the moonlight to look at the surrounding mountains and rivers. Perhaps no one would believe that underground, even in the depths of the underground, there is still a strange world. The moonlight, the landscape, this, this is simply a place out of the world!
The ancients called Penglai the fairy island, saying that the immortals who have cultivated to the earth immortals can return to Penglai and go straight to the nine heavens. Therefore, Penglai has been throughout the ages, and many cultivators have dreamed of the place, which has also been compared to a beautiful fairyland by those literati and writers. People in the world only know that Penglai Immortal Island is in the vast sea, and there have been many people who yearn for immortal paths, obsessed with looking for Penglai Immortal Island, and no one knows whether they found it in the end, but in reality, no one knows the specific location of Penglai Immortal Island.
Therefore, the word Penglai, has always been with a mysterious and sacred color, this place is called underground Penglai, according to the literal meaning, it is not difficult to understand, naturally think that this is an underground fairyland, originally I didn't believe it, there are some faults in the underground at most, or underground cracks, it's good. A little more complete, just like the underground world at the bottom of Yunju Mountain, but I never thought that this place would be a complete small world!
The moonlight, as if it was refracted from a crack somewhere above, and just shone in, set off a strange scene here. There are not only towering mountains, but also large rivers and even lakes, and in the distance, it is almost impossible to see the edge. After sighing, I turned my head to look at Martingale Lingzhi, but I saw that he was stomping around at the moment, and I didn't see the current good scene in my eyes at all.
Alas, it is really different from each other, maybe in the world of Martingale Lingzhi, except for his own interests, other interests, other things, will never enter his sight. If Master had come here, he would have commented on the scene like me, and would even chant a poem with great interest to praise the perfect scenery of Penglai underground. To be able to have such a view underground, not perfect, but also perfect.
I don't know when, Martingale suddenly jumped up to me and said coldly, "Have you seen enough?" Isn't it just some mountains and rivers, and the outside world is not a hundred times better than here? We've come all the way here not to look at boring things. I feel that my master has come here, his cultivation is very high, and it is precisely because of it that it is very high, and the entourage will naturally reveal a trace of true qi outside, I can feel my master's true qi wandering around, since it has not dispersed yet, it means that my master has just come not long ago! ”
I originally wanted to criticize Martingale Lingzhi for being incomprehensible, but when I heard him say that his master, the Old Dao of the Xuan Demon, had also come to this underground Penglai, I had to put away my mind to enjoy the scenery, and said seriously: "Since the Old Dao of the Xuan Demon is here, I just don't know if Gu Tan and they are here?" Anyway, my master and my brother are still behind, well, what should we do now? If Gu Tan is the first to find your master, the Xuan Demon Old Dao, will it be ......?"
"No!"
Martingale Lingzhi shook his head and analyzed: "My master's old thing is still bent on accepting your senior brother as an apprentice, and since his goal has not been achieved, he will not give up. So in his eyes, nothing can be compared with the seventh day of the first month, and now Gu Tan wants the "Shangqing Edict" on him, what kind of thing of the same value can he come up with in exchange? Is it to hand over your senior brother to him on the seventh day of the first month? Hehe! It's just a joke, if you can use coercion, my master's old thing can move his fingers casually, and he can make the kid in the seventh year of the first month worse than dead, with his way, it is difficult for anyone in the world to threaten him, so coercion is not in the eyes of my master's old thing, and it is not in the flow at all. Since the coercion failed, Gu Tan had almost no way to exchange the "Shangqing Edict" from my master, if he wanted to rob it, it would be a dead end! ”
At this point, I believe, because one person of the martingale order can be comparable to either the master or Gu Tan, and the master of the martingale order, the old demon of the Xuan, I am afraid that the master and Gu Tan can barely deal with it if they join forces. Then Gu Tan is the only one who can't help the old way of the demons, and the old way of the demons is a generation of big devils, if it is about wisdom, Gu Tan can't do it, and if he talks about the way, he can't do it, now it seems that even if Gu Tan arrives early, there is no way to get the "Shangqing Edict", unless, unless he borrows the master's hand.
The Xuan Demon Old Dao intends to introduce the Seventh Senior Brother into the Demon Dao, so the master will inevitably confront the Xuan Demon Old Dao, and at that time, Gu Tan will be able to join forces with the master to deal with the Xuan Demon Old Dao. However, Master's purpose is to keep the Junior Seventh Senior Brother and lead the Junior Seventh Senior Brother away from the Devil's Path and return to the right path. And Gu Tan's purpose is to subdue the old way of the Xuan Demon and take away the "Shangqing Edict" from his hands, as the saying goes, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, I am afraid that Gu Tan did not expect that there is a martingale order here, which is already snooping in the dark, and what the martingale order wants is all the mantle inheritance of the old way of the Xuan Demon.
This complex relationship chain seems to be about to present a big competition!
I, originally another dark chess after the martingale order, but unfortunately the martingale met me in advance, and now the same relationship with me exists in the dark, but I won't let the martingale order succeed so easily. Not only do I have to prevent Gu Tan from getting the "Shangqing Edict", but I also want to let the dream of Martingale Lingzhi come to naught, otherwise, with his vicious mind, once he obtains a higher cultivation, he will inevitably cause immeasurable disasters to the people of the world!
Of course, I know very well that Martingale Lingzhi will not be so easy to believe that I am sincere and want to cooperate with him, but now that he wants to deal with the Xuan Demon Lao Dao and Gu Tan alone, it will be difficult to reach the sky, if there is my help, no matter how high or low my Taoism is, as long as I have been hiding in the dark, it will definitely help him a lot in the end. Anyone who comes here seems to be unable to be attracted by the perfect scene in front of them, because everyone's heart is planning their own purpose.
Suddenly, I saw a mountain peak in the distance, as if attached to an upside-down hill. But after a closer look, I suddenly understood, could it be...... Could it be that what Master said about the Xiantuo Pagoda?! Just when I was amazed, at this moment, the martingale said to me urgently: "If you don't want to be discovered by my master's old thing so quickly, hurry up and leave the exit of this underground dark river, this place is the most dangerous place!" ”
Hearing this, I nodded heavily, if the Xuan Demon Old Dao had been secretly observing Senior Brother Junior Seventh, then he would definitely not go far when he came here in advance at this moment, and he would definitely leave his divine sense to visit nearby, once Senior Brother Junior Seventh came here, he would definitely not be able to escape his induction. If I stay with Martingale any longer, we'll be in trouble! In addition, there is also a Gu Tan hidden in the dark, by the way, the seventh senior brother of the junior high school is going to the Xiantuo Pagoda to find the last treasure of Zhenshan, maybe, maybe the Gu Tan master and apprentice have also gone to the Xiantuo Pagoda at this moment.
It is said that there are a lot of rare treasures in it, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see them, because I couldn't enter the Xiantuo Pagoda to hunt for treasures like the master, so I could only continue to do my duty as a dark chess piece, and turned my head to leave the place with the martingale. After walking far away, I asked in a low voice, "Martingale Lingzhi, where are you taking me?" ”
The head of the martingale order did not look back and said: "We are going to the bottom layer of the Xiantuo Pagoda, but the Xiantuo Pagoda is hanging upside down, the first layer is the top layer, and what we are going to is the last layer, that is, the bottom layer, but we do not enter the tower, but we have to go all the way down the river below!" Hearing this, I thought about it carefully, but I didn't quite understand the purpose of the martingale.
We can only continue to move forward with the martingale order, and we have chosen the most remote path all the way, and it is the most rugged mountain road, far away from the Xiantuo Pagoda. I agree with this, because I guess that if Master Gu Tan and his apprentice have already come here, they must also be heading for the Xiantuo Pagoda, then it is the best choice for us to bypass the Xiantuo Pagoda. In addition, it is necessary to guard against the old way of the big devil Xuan Demon, maybe the path taken by Martingale Lingzhi is right!
After a while, Martingale and I came to a narrow passage, which was a little steep, but we could go all the way down to the bottom of the cliff, and once we reached the bottom, we could follow the river bank all the way through the lowest level of the Xiantuo Pagoda. As for where he will go in the end, I still can't say, but I believe that Martingale Lingzhi still has some strategy, otherwise he would not be able to become a proud disciple of the big devil, and he can also go back and compete for all the mantle inheritance of the big devil, since he has this courage, he must have a detailed plan as a backing.
Walking all the way down the sandwich road, the advantages of the martingale order are almost vividly displayed, different from the scene of eating deflated in the underground dark river, he went all the way down the sandwich road, he is as light as a swallow, I rely on the power of the rope to catch up with him. A moment later, the two of us came to the bottom of the cliff, and at the same time stood on the bank of the endless underground river, looking at the churning waves, people couldn't help but feel confused, and when we arrived here, we were still rushing endlessly, not knowing what kind of situation they were going to flow to, and then they would stop.
Martingale Lingzhi glanced up at the Xiantuo Pagoda in the distance, hesitated for a while, and then whispered to me: "Let's go all the way along this underground river, and then find a hidden place to hide, I believe that it won't be long before our opportunity comes!" After speaking, I saw the corners of Martingale Lingzhi's mouth slowly hook up an evil arc......
