As for how to achieve the death of the heart and the spirit of the ape, refining the ape into a spring, three methods are given in the "Secret Song".

First, the monk examines the desires and distractions of his heart, cultivates the most fiery one of them, and turns it into a heart ape of his own. The so-called heart ape, the shape varies from person to person, and it may not necessarily be the shape of an ape.

Later, with the help of the transformation calamity in the cultivation of the Third Realm Divine Transformation, the Heart Ape is refined into his own mental appearance and manifested in the divine form, so that the kind of desires and distractions represented by the Heart Ape can not only not be harmful, but can also help the monk to suppress and control the rest of the desires like the Monkey King.

Although this method is a bit tricky, it is the easiest to implement, but the monk's appearance will inevitably be changed, such as hair growth or an extra tail, and even the personality will inevitably change, which is not taken by the aspiring Taoist cultivators.

Second, in the process of the ninth turn of the third realm Dao species, the monk accepted the tempering of the thunder tribulation wind outside the spiritual platform, and engraved the thunder tribulation gang wind as a natal supernatural power, which always runs and spends as he wishes, so all the heart apes will naturally bow down and dare not make mistakes.

This method is the most dignified and upright, and there is no future trouble, but it is also the most test of the monk's courage and understanding talents, and at the same time, it also has requirements for the exercises to be practiced, and it cannot be done unless those who have great courage, great wisdom and great chance.

Third, after the monk casts a Dan Ding in the fourth realm and ignites the Dao fire, he directly jumps into the Ding to incinerate himself, refining the Dao seed into a golden pill, and naturally pure Yang is feathered, with no yin inside and a hundred evils outside.

There's nothing to say about this method, there are no ordinary people who can go that far, and it's easy to concoct the heart ape.

Qi Jingzhi secretly smacked his tongue when he saw it, but he didn't expect that the two short sentences of "the tiger roars and the ape roars, and the water is clear and the river is quiet" actually spans the cultivation of the two great realms of the third and fourth realms.

At the same time, he can be sure that what he wants to do now is not to suppress the heart ape, but to indulge, feed, and cultivate it, and when his realm reaches the future and the heart ape has become the climate, he will suppress it in one fell swoop and turn it into food.

"Huh? Doesn't that sound like killing a pig...... In this way, wouldn't the Dao Great Cultivators of the Third Realm and the Dao Fire Powers of the Fourth Realm all become pig farmers and pig slaughterers? ”

Just when he was thinking about it, Huang Xiaoer had already evoked all the corpses of the five Xuanfeng black armors, but the mountains and fields had become a place for the blood flame apes to play, how dare he act rashly, he could only look at the young man, especially the big red wedding dress in the young man's hand.

The corners of Qi Jingzhi's mouth turned up, and he immediately took back the corpse of the dead man in his hand to the Heaven and Earth Xuanjian.

He patted his empty palms, turned to face the direction of the mountain, and his eyes lit up with blazing fire, already urging his heart with all his might.

As the young man stretched out his hand and grabbed it from afar, the Blood Flame Heart Ape in that direction was from near and far, and there were heart candles in their bodies, converging towards his palm, and only the formless blood qi was left in place, which slowly dissipated into the air.

Without these Blood Flame Heart Apes who were setting fire everywhere, the flames in the direction of the mountain suddenly decreased greatly, and they no longer had the terrifying momentum they had before.

At this time, it can be seen that there is also a small amount of corpse qi left in the trees and barren grass that have been ignited, which further suppresses the fire, and in terms of dealing with corpse qi, the power of the yin fire of the heart candle fire is indeed not as powerful as the yang fire like the red fire of Ruomu.

Huang Xiaoer's expression was relieved when he saw this, and he hurriedly confessed to the young man, and used the method of "walking shadow" to drag the five corpses straight out of the mountain with his own yang energy.

When they were far away, Qi Jingzhi retracted his gaze, and spent a lot of effort running around this mountain forest, cleaning up all the remaining Blood Flame Heart Ape.

As an ownerless thing, most of the blood feather evil qi of the wild dog that escaped was cheaper than the silver wind mother candlestick, which not only made up for the consumption in recent days, but also made a lot of money.

In fact, if Qi Jingzhi didn't do anything, when the blood feathers of the wild dogs used as firewood burned out, the Blood Flame Heart Ape would also be wiped out by itself, but the time would become uncontrollable.

Qi Jingzhi didn't want to wait here to wither, nor did he want to cause any unpredictable changes due to the wanton spread of the fire, and he didn't have the arrogant idea of completely plowing the mountains, rivers, and plants in the north of the forbidden water by himself.

Although he accepted the suggestion of Shouguang Hou Yang Shengqing, or it was bewitchment, he led the army to cross the river first, but he did not plan to rely on his own two thousand horsemen to fight alone.

So, Qi Jingzhi stood on top of the scorched earth of the deep mountains with unextinguished flames and thick smoke, and turned over his hand and took out a corpse of road demons.

The black stele fell on the black, bare scorched earth, and a white miserable paper lantern hung on the top of the stele, and a black stone dog squatted in front of the stele.

"The road is evil, the worry of getting lost, the suffering of the wrong way, wandering in the road, guiding people, mixed good and evil, life and death, cold, pungent, non-toxic, blinding, blocking evil qi, passing through the netherworld, setting the direction, and spreading news."

Originally, according to the discussion between Qi Jingzhi and Meng Fuzi when they were in the royal capital, this road demon corpse should be placed in the forbidden water pass, but the young man changed his mind after seeing the dangerous situation in the north of the forbidden water with his own eyes, and felt that he should think about defeat first and then win, and it would be better to hide the intersection of this nether military road more secretly.

This place has been hit by such a very special fire, whether it is the scorched earth scenery or the residual breath, it is terrifying, and no beasts and aliens should be willing to approach it in a short time.

When the ghost generals and Yin soldiers prepared by the Capital City God's Yamen to open up the forbidden Northern Hades arrived, there was no need to worry.

Qi Jingzhi stood in front of the corpse of Lu Sha, and saw that only the arrow pointing north on the black stone tablet marked a place name - Xiuling Impermanence Valley.

In the south of the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, there are many inaccessible Qingxi valleys in the east and west embroidery mountains, and this so-called impermanence valley is the place where the capital city god yamen selected the place to set up a monument and garrison soldiers.

Qi Jingzhi thought for a while, stretched out his left hand and gently wiped the center of the cross arrow on the stone tablet, and five big characters with iron and silver hooks immediately appeared there-Forbidden Water and Blood Corpse Ridge.

There is a heaven and earth mystery, and such a trivial matter as carving words on the corpse of Lu Sha can be achieved with just one thought.

At this point, the connection between the two road demon corpses can be considered successful, and they can aim at each other's positions and transmit messages, but in order to build a passable Nether Weapon Path, one thing is still needed.

Qi Jingzhi opened the Hujun jade box and took out a piece of yellow mounted paper three feet long and two feet wide.

This yellow mounted paper is edged with moire strokes, and dense black characters are written on it, exuding the unique aroma of pine smoke ink, a specialty of Songling County.

"Hey, Master Meng's gifts have been sent to the Yamen of the capital."

Qi Jingzhi swept his eyes and saw that the black letters on the yellow paper were nothing more than "the pass is unimpeded, see this release" and the like, in addition to the three square seals of "Great Qi Yin Division", "Capital City God" and "Wei Lingjun".

This thing is the so-called "underworld path guide" issued by the Daqi Capital City God's Yamen, which was originally supposed to be specially given to a specific necromancer, so that it would not be intercepted or even difficult by the ghosts and gods along the way when stepping on the Yellow Spring and entering the reincarnation, but now it is used to open up the netherworld path with the corpse of the road.

Qi Jingzhi took a closer look, and then pressed this "Underworld Road Guide" to the stone tablet of the road corpse in front of him.

As soon as the yellow paper touched the stele, it spontaneously combusted, and fine black ashes fell on the scorched earth below, merging with the black ground.

Qi Jingzhi waited quietly for a moment, and saw that there was no change in the corpse of Lu Sha, even if he looked through the heart candle fire, it was only a hazy glimmer of black or white, and the so-called Netherworld Soldier Dao was nowhere to be seen, so he couldn't help but take out the silver wind mother candlestick again.

"Burn!"

The Silver Blood Flame burst into a gloomy glow, centering on the boy, staining the stone tablet, the lantern, the stone dog, and the small piece of scorched earth around it with a layer of blood.

In the next moment, the black stone tablet, which had been motionless, swelled suddenly, rapidly expanding upwards and sides.

Qi Jingzhi's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly flew back, and he was already standing three feet away between breaths.

When I looked up again, I saw a tall and heavy stone gate appearing in the position of the original stone stele, which was three zhang high and two zhang wide, almost comparable to a city gate.

The stone door was two folks, but now the door was closed, and it was pitch black in the narrow line of doors.

There was no plaque on the door, only a huge white paper lantern was hung, which also exuded a blood-red halo at the moment, which reflected the candle flame in the young man's hand.

This stone gate stands alone in the deep mountains, on the scorched earth, if Qi Jingzhi is willing, he can go around to the back of the stone gate, in short, it looks extremely weird.

Just as the boy was curiously looking, a dog barking sounded like a whimper, and the black stone dog that was originally squatting in front of the stone tablet slowly stood up and turned into a black kobold wearing a soap coat and a high hat.

On the top hat were written four white miserable characters: "The world is peaceful!" ”

The kobold had dull eyes, stiff limbs, and a long bright red tongue, and a gloomy cold air around him, and walked slowly in front of Qi Jingzhi.

It leaned down, sniffed at the palm of the hand that the young man had only used to guide the path of the underworld, and then turned around and walked towards the stone gate without saying a word.

As the kobold approached, the stone door, which looked extremely heavy, slowly opened inward, revealing the dim light of the sky inside.

It was not the first time that Qi Jingzhi had seen this kind of stone gate separating the two worlds and the very dangerous otherworldly scene, not to mention the realm magic illusion of the Infinite Wild, but the dim yellow color flowing from the stone gate in front of him made him frightened, recalling the yellow spring he had seen in the Baiyun Palace of Jiuzhen County.

At that time, he only glanced at it, and he was immediately contaminated by the breath of the Yellow Spring, and encountered a terrifying erosion far superior to the calamity of the gods.

Thanks to his urgency to run the "Secret Method of Riding the Clouds", he narrowly withdrew that breath and merged it into the smoke and feather coat, so he was lucky that there was no big problem. It wasn't until later that the master refined the crane's wings and completely removed them.

It's just that this time is different from the past, compared to the defenseless and hurried at the beginning, Qi Jingzhi's reaction this time was extremely fast.

He looked sideways, no longer looking directly at the scene inside the stone gate, and at the same time, the red light and candle flame in his eyes suddenly became several times stronger, almost overflowing his eyes.

The spiritual mask armor and the bright light iron armor instantly covered the young man's body, and the heart-to-heart ox ear sharp knife also jumped into his right palm on its own, and the knife body was covered with a layer of five-colored glow.

After doing these protections, Qi Jingzhi began to carefully examine himself and find out what was wrong.

"Well, there is no sign of the smell of the Yellow Spring on the body, there is no residual turbidity waves in the eyes, the dark scene of the ups and downs of the living beings, and there is no noisy sound of birds and beasts neighing and men and women crying in the ears, and the spiritual platform is even more safe and sound, and the two stupid birds are having a good time......

Realizing that it was just a false alarm that scared him, Qi Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shimen again.

In the process, the black kobold remained like a sculpture, standing quietly by the door.

Although this guy can scream, smell, and move, he is extremely cold, and he has no vitality at all, and he is more like a dead thing than Huang Xiaoer.

Qi Jingzhi stepped forward slowly, his gaze swept over the kobold's high hat, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "The four words of peace in the world are quite appropriate, and it is no wonder that the other end of this Netherworld Soldier Road will be called the Valley of Impermanence, maybe it will be governed by the legendary Fan Baye......"

After a few moments, the boy stopped outside the stone gate and looked inside curiously.

The world inside the door also seems to be in the middle of winter, the sky is overcast, the wind is sassy, the yellow sand is misty, and the sun and moon are not visible.

Qi Jingzhi has never seen what the Underworld Divine Mansion presided over by ghosts and gods looks like, and there is no way to compare it at this time, but he feels that the scene inside the door is too empty and desolate, plus he is looking through the door, and he always feels that he is blocked by something and can't really see clearly.

So, the boy turned his head to look at the kobold, and when he saw that the fellow was still motionless, he reached out and grabbed the door frame, and then poked his head into the stone door.

The next moment, the scene in front of Qi Jingzhi's eyes suddenly became clear.

It turned out that this side of the stone gate was placed on a black mountain peak with no grass, and the surrounding scorched and smoking earth and stones seemed to be stained with crimson blood.

"Hey, I named this place Blood Corpse Ridge, but it's a crooked hit. Since the scenery of the underworld has a corresponding relationship with the human world......"

Qi Jing's heart moved, compared with the direction of the world, and turned his head to look in the direction where the forbidden water was.

His gaze passed through the wind and sand, and faintly saw a giant white insect winding for an unknown number of miles, with a pointed head and a slender body, which looked like a fish and a snake, with sharp horns like mountain peaks on the top of its head, and a sparkling white hard shell on the surface of its body.

These waves rippled uncontrollably, turning into pairs of huge transparent wings.

After a little look, Qi Jingzhi's gaze suddenly froze: "The god of frost? ”

I saw that on the back of the white giant insect, at this time, there was a big ghost with red eyes and a long tongue and a frosty blue body, grabbing one of the wings of the giant insect and tearing it hard.

Interestingly, although the Frost Blue Ghost named the God of Frost was also burly and as strong as a small hill, it was a little less sighty than the white giant worm, and even its act of tearing its wings failed to attract the attention of the other party.

"I don't know if it's really too different from each other, so that the white giant insect is unaware, or the forbidden water wildness represented by the white giant insect is weak and powerless to resist, or Shouguang Houyang Shengqing acted cautiously and adopted the strategy of cutting the moon and slowly encroaching......"

Just when the young man began to ponder again, the frost blue ghost seemed to be aware of it, and two thick blood lights appeared in his eyes, sweeping towards the Blood Corpse Ridge.
