When I used the Soul Separation Technique, the soul detached from the body and began to fly upwards.

On the ground, I observed the shadow of the bird in the clouds, one eye facing the white passage through the room, while the other eye was looking at the pinnacle.

I know in "The Owl Merchant" that the Xuanniao, that is, the owl, its eyes cannot be turned, they can only move with the head, in other words, the direction of the owl's eyes is the direction it is looking at.

So I suspect that Master Zu took advantage of this after flying into the sky to perceive the secret of Xuanniao.

But when I flew to the eye that was looking elsewhere, and followed the direction I was looking at, I found that it was just an ordinary yard, and there was nothing special about it.

As the shadow disappeared, I chose to give up, but at this time, the illusion of the mountain god, the old man, cut my flesh palm again, let me sacrifice blood, and the huge shadow of the Xuanniao was revealed again, and it was at this time, very close, that I observed the special place of this eye.

In the depths of his eyes, there was a faint glow.

I flew into the light, turned into black smoke, and flew in.

I remember and felt that I had been flying upwards, but when I passed through a black area, flew into the clouds again, and when I passed through, I found that there were upside-down trees in front of me.

It was as if I had changed direction in the clouds and was flying headfirst down.

But if you look closely, the woods, though they are similar, and there are strange courtyards in between, do not see my physical body or the illusion of the mountain god.

Here, it may not be the forest just now, but it seems to be a symmetrical area, opposite to the previous woods, like a reflection in the water, and the two layers of clouds and mist are the surface of the water.

Then I looked into the middle of the many courtyards, where there was no strange house, only a pool of water, and in the middle of the pool, the reflection of a huge eye.

However, this is not the reflection of the eyes of the Xuanyao, because the so-called Xuanniao's eyes are only formed by the surging clouds and mist.

And in the pool, there is a real eye, so huge, in the middle of the spherical white of the eye, is a blood-red pupil, and around the pupil, there is a circle of auspicious cloud patterns.

I flew down slowly, took on a human form, and stood by the pool.

The huge eyes, not far from my feet, were staring at me, and suddenly, I heard a voice: "Here you are!" ”

The voice didn't seem to be heard by ear, but as if someone was calling me in my head, and the sound was very vicissitudes.

The voice continued, "You must be wondering who I am, I am what is in front of you. ”

I stared straight ahead, and those huge eyes stared at me, as if to tell me it was him.

I couldn't help but ask, "What the hell are you?" Xuanniao? ”

The voice laughed and said, "I'm not a Xuanniao, I'm older than the legendary Xuanniao." ”

You know, Xuanniao is a legend of the Yin Shang period, and it is older than Xuanniao, so what will it be.

The voice then laughed: "You people like to call me the god of the mountain!" ”

Mountain gods?

Until now, I didn't know what the mountain god was, and now, I only showed one eye.

The voice continued: "I have made an agreement with the people of Yin Shang that I will wait for a descendant of Yin Shang to come here. ”

"What are you doing here?" I asked incessantly.

"Take one thing."

He didn't say it, and I guessed it, it was Xuan Zhu.

He continued: "I have been guarding this place for thousands of years for this agreement, and finally I have been waiting. ”

I smiled and said, "What do you mean, me?" ”

He laughed and said, "When you inject spiritual power, I will know that it is you." ”

I said, "Then why don't you give it to me, and keep it hidden, and even kill many people." ”

The mountain god said: "I just keep my promise, I need to test you, those who died, and they are also human beings who kill each other, what does it have to do with me." ”

The mountain god further explained, "If you don't discover the secret of your eyes, I'll wait until the true master arrives. ”

The old-fashioned story is that Yin merchants, for the sake of their descendants, set up a test, and only after passing can they obtain the Xuanqi Pearl.

"Yin Shang's people, why do you want to set these up?"

"Yin businessmen also know that they will disappear eventually, so they hope that there will be descendants to lead them to glory again."

I think the ancients really thought too much.

There are so many people who want to restore the glory of the previous family, but who can do it.

Prosperity and decline, prosperity will inevitably decline, this is the law of nature, no one can avoid it.

But no one is lucky.

Yin merchants must have mastered the power of the hidden land because they had mastered it, and they were able to go to glory again, so they set these up and let the mountain gods with infinite lifespans wait and screen for them.

So Master Zu must have discovered this secret before, but unfortunately he didn't have Yin Shang's spiritual power on his body, and in the end he couldn't get the approval of the mountain god, hoping to rob it violently, but unfortunately failed.

"As you think, that person once tried to rob, but it was impossible to get it."

The mountain god suddenly said this, could it be that the person he was referring to was the ancestor master, could it be?

The mountain god continued: "You are right, my eyes can not only see through everything, but also read the minds of others. ”

I gasped, no wonder, the sound I heard seemed to come from my heart.

The mountain god continued: "That person, who is also cruel, killed most of the people in order to hide here, and the remaining few people were almost robbed of their consciousness by him using Dao techniques. ”

It turned out that the scientific expedition team became like that because of the grandfather.

He killed all the people who knew Taoism, except for Qin Xupi, and the rest of the people who didn't know Taoism were all used by him to snatch away their consciousness and become crazy.

At this moment, in my heart, the image of the ancestor has completely collapsed.

When he was killed by his wife and children, he may not only have seen through his own life, but also seen through others, and in order to hide the secrets here, he treated others as ants.

"Get out of here, as if nothing happened."

The mountain god continued, "After you leave, I will close the entire cave as if it never existed, and let all the stories disappear with the cave." ”

That said, but here, I lost the most important person.

At this time, I saw that in the huge eyes, the auspicious clouds around the pupils began to rotate, and the pupils were also dilating, revealing light inside.

A familiar glow, I've seen before, Xuanzhu Zhu.

After a while, in the middle of the pupil, a Xuanzhu bead floated in the air.

I reached out and took it in my hand.

Everything is because of this Xuan Zhu Zhu.

At this time, the mountain god spoke again: "Get out of here." You have enough strength and wisdom now, and I don't care if you will make Yin Shang prosperous again. ”

After saying that, I felt the ground beneath my feet begin to rise upward, carrying me into the clouds.

I passed through the clouds and returned to the woods, and my soul entered the flesh again.

I saw that my wound had been bandaged, and it should be the illusion of the mountain god, the work of the old man.

He cut open my palm before to remind me if I could find out the secret, and if not, he might really let me sacrifice here.

Fortunately, I got it.

The old man looked at me with a smile and said, "Go out." ”

After speaking, with a wave of his sleeves, a cloud formed in the clouds, fell, and flew out of the cave with me.

I looked back and looked at the underworld again, there was a man who had disappeared here forever.

I didn't ask Su Xuanke again whether they were alive or dead, they might have disappeared forever with the cave.

The clouds took me with me and soon returned to Daoist Bay.

It should still be late at night, and I don't know how long it has been since I left Daoist Bay, but I found that dust has fallen inside and outside the house.

In the past, there would always be a master to clean, and later there was Zhao Xiaoxue.

And now, it's just me.

I looked at the Xuanzhu in my hand, and then looked at the wooden statue of the ancestor in the hall.

The world is disturbed for the sake of profit, or eternal life, or power, or wisdom, or wealth.

Suddenly, I felt as if I had seen through the world, and sometimes, plainness is happiness.

Decline and decline, no return?

I'm back, but what about Zhao Xiaoxue?

I decided to give up monasticism, go home, and go to work in a city in the south, perhaps in my spare time, to write my story into a book, even if no one reads it.

At dawn, I packed up all my clothes and took another look around the temple.

Just let everything here, with the wind in the mountains.

Let's disappear together.

I turned around and walked towards Song Wan.

Suddenly, I felt a chill behind me, turned my head to look, and then noticed the direction of the river of life at the bottom of the mountain.

Wrong!
