Chapter 29: The Lower Level
Zhang Yu walked down the stairway, where the light was dim and the stone walls were hard and rough on both sides, and after going down about a hundred steps, he finally stepped on the flat ground.
What appeared in front of him at this moment was a huge wall painted with various elaborate patterns of Taoist pots.
However, he always felt as if he had seen such scenes somewhere, and after a turn of thought, he found the source, and he cared for it: "Baiguo, write it down and go back to compare." ”
Bai Guojun said: "Yes, sir." ”
Zhang Yu took out the jade talisman again, and then stepped forward, with a faint light flashing on the jade talisman, his whole person penetrated through the wall, and the place he touched seemed to become like a stream of molten light for a while, and after he completely passed, the whole wall returned to its original appearance.
Zhang Yu only felt a slight dimming in front of him during the whole process, and then returned to normal, and then looked up, at this moment he was standing in a huge dome with no end from the earth to the sky, and the soft light sprinkled down from the height in a column, and the further down it went, the more dispersed it became.
It can be seen that huge crystal cabins that seem to be carved out of a single piece of glazed jade are arranged on top of each other on the four walls of the dome, each separated by a silver metal layer, which at first glance looks like an alternative beehive.
Here, everyone can enter the lower level through the dial.
The so-called lower layer is relative to the "inner and outer" layers, because the level of power that can be presented there is lower.
Generally speaking, if an ordinary person wants to obtain supernatural powers, then it is easiest to do so in the inner layer.
For example, if a cultivator has enough opportunities and qualifications, and his path is smooth, then he can cultivate all the way to the realm of Xuanzun in the inner layer.
On the outside, it's much more difficult. Because there are not only void and external evils here, but also all kinds of other unpredictable causes and disturbances.
But at the lower levels, that's almost impossible.
However, the realms are not absolutely separated from each other, and they all have portals to find each other, so if the people in the lower layers can find the gateway to the upper level, then they can also complete the leap in life.
The reason why the evil gods and the Heavenly Monks are so attached to the inner layer is because in the minds of the cultivators of the upper realm, the inner layer is called the "Gate of All Wonders", and it is the only place leading to the upper level.
And in the past few decades, Xuan Ting has found that those evil gods and Shangchen Heavenly Monks have a large number of signs of entering the lower layer, as if they want to find a portal to the inner layer through here. It was the Xuan Court that also encouraged cultivators or armored soldiers to enter the lower echelons to kill this generation, so as to block the other party's attempt.
It can be said that this war for the inner layer has spread to all the layers and involved all parties.
There were many monks around the dome who were in charge of this room, and they also discovered Zhang Yu, and a monk immediately walked over, bowed, and said, "Is this Xuan Xiu going to enter the lower level? ”
Zhang Yu took out the jade talisman and gestured, and said, "I need to go to the lower level alone, and I will be bothered to get me a Tianxing sundial." ”
Generally speaking, when entering the lower level, you must have a detailed record, and you can't go alone, you have to go back and forth with someone arranged by the Military Affairs Department.
However, he has a jade talisman given by the Military Affairs Administration, so he can act alone on this one-man basis.
It's just that it's not so easy to obtain the jade talisman, and you can only be qualified to hold this thing if you have killed the true spirit of the evil god, or killed the Shangchen Heavenly Monk at the shadow level.
The monk looked at the jade talisman and persuaded in his mouth: "This Xuan Xiu, it is better to think about one or two more, if you go to the lower level alone, it will be difficult to get the help of your fellow practitioners, if you are not careful, you may also fall to the unknown lower level, then the power thrown will also be lost in vain, although it is nothing for Xuan Xiu, but it will always affect the practice of meritorious practice." ”
Once the monk's true body enters the lower level, the supernatural power that can be exerted will be weakened to an extremely low level, and once the true body is killed there, it is truly dead.
Therefore, when a cultivator goes to such a realm, he usually only casts a shadow of himself, which is actually similar to the power that the real body can exert there.
And the shadow is destroyed, although to a certain extent, it will weaken the qi of the true cultivator, causing a certain loss of strength, but this can be restored within a certain period of time.
Zhang Yujaw said: "Thank you for telling me, I know all this." ”
When the monk saw that he insisted on doing so, he stopped persuading, he signaled, and immediately a servant brought a jade box more than a foot high, and he took it and handed it over, and said:
"For the sake of stability, it is best for Xuan Xiu to build another secret hall, or find some trustworthy fellow Taoists to protect the Dharma for himself, and he must not really wear it. ”
Zhang Yu took the jade box and nodded, "Thank you for the reminder." Then he put the jade box away, and then turned and walked out.
The monk looked at his back and shook his head.
And not long after Zhang Yu left, the monk surnamed Xu also came here.
As a disciple of Yu Xuanzun, the monks in charge of this place all knew him, and the monk who greeted Zhang Yu came up and saluted, saying, "Xu Daoyou is polite." ”
The monk surnamed Xu looked at the glazed crystal cabins, and said, "There is a Zhang Daoyou here, I don't know if he can be here?"
The monk replied: "Yes, that Zhang Xuanxiu was there to greet him, but Zhang Xuanxiu is not here, he has already gone back." ”
"Not here, going back?" asked the surname Xu, "Could it be that he just came here to take a turn?"
The monk said: "If this is not the case, Zhang Xuanxiu didn't want others to accompany him, so he asked for a Tianxing sundial below, thinking that he wanted to enter the lower level by himself after going back. ”
The monk surnamed Xu pondered for a moment and said, "There are a lot of lower layers that can be entered here in Kuisu, where do you say he is most likely to go to?"
The monk observed his words and found that the monk surnamed Xu had a bad attitude, as if he wanted to make trouble for Zhang Yu, but he didn't dare to offend the Xuanzun disciples, thought about it, and replied: "The Tianxing Sundial used by Zhang Xuanxiu was given by us, and if he went to the lower layer in Kui Zhuxing, it was most likely to fall in the three lower realms from Hongjia to Hongbing. ”
The monk surnamed Xu immediately ordered: "Then you arrange a secret cabin for me, and I need to go down to the lower level." He said in his heart: "No matter where you go, these lower realms, I can't try them one by one, but I don't believe I can't stop you!"
After Zhang Yu left the big stage, he turned back to the Hanging Star Palace.
Because the lecture was finished, he was not ready to stay in Tanquan for long, and after saying goodbye to Yu Ruiqing and others, he went directly out of the palace, and released the white boat on the roof of the boat, and then took this boat to return.
Bai Zhou was very fast, he set off in the evening, and in the middle of the night, he had already returned to Yeya Prefecture.
He went straight back to his home, meditated all night, and on the second day, he came to the garrison of the Wei army.
Wei Lingying was very happy to see him return, and said to him with great excitement: "Zhang Xuanxiu, in the past few days, we have distributed some medicinal pills prepared with the spirit liquid of the immortal dendrobium, and two soldiers have stimulated their spirituality after taking it, this thing is really useful, as long as we continue, I believe that there will be more and more such soldiers in our Wei army." ”
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "The Lord of the Guards doesn't have to tie his hands and feet, he can let more people try to stimulate spirituality." ”
If those people who took away the Immortal Dendrobium in the past were still staring at the Wei Army, after discovering such an abnormality, then maybe it wouldn't be long before they came to the door.
He wanted to see where these people came from, and whether they could be related to the Heavenly Monk or the evil god.
Wei Lingying nodded heavily, she only dared to try a little when Zhang Yu was away, and now that Zhang Yu is back, she will naturally become bolder.
Zhang Yudao: "When I come back this time, I need to retreat for a while, and if there is something in the army, you can come to my place to find each other." ”
Wei Lingying happily applauded.
June is the rest period of Wei's army, and she is preparing to improve the strength of the entire army as much as possible during this month, so as to take on more and more important assignments in the next six months.
After Zhang Yu talked to her for a while, he left the hall of the residence and walked to the high platform where Cheng Xuanxiu used to be.
At this moment, he was already sure that the high platform built by Cheng Xuanxiu was a secret hall that was convenient for entering the lower floor.
And those strange supernatural shapes above, if he guessed correctly, it was likely that Cheng Xuanxiu was trying to enter the lower layers controlled by the alien gods.
As for why Cheng Xuanxiu did this, whether he wanted to get something, or what he was bewitched, with his death, it is now unknown.
However, this boundary can be kept, and when he has the opportunity, he will see if it can lead to other lower levels.
Walking out of the stone platform, he returned to his home, summoned Li Qinghe to explain some words, and then came to the secret room to sit down.
After receiving the jade talisman, he planned to go down to the lower level, in addition to hoping to obtain combat merits here, there was also another one, which was for the benefit of cultivation.
Time passes much more slowly in the lower layers than in the inner layers, and although he has no way to practice the Divine Powers there, his consciousness is unhindered, which means that he can spend more time thinking about his own path.
Not only that, Meng Huanzhen told him at the beginning that the six seals of the Great Dao were scattered among the worlds, and this world also included the lower classes. Meng Huanzhen also mentioned that now many cultivators are wandering in the lower layers, trying to find the Dao seal, maybe he will also try his luck here by the way.
In order to protect himself, he first placed the two swords of Shocking Sky and Cicada Song on the desk, and then took out the jade box and put it in front of him.
He flicked his sleeves and opened the lid of the box, revealing a spherical jade pill floating on the ring-shaped gold frame, flashing with a radiant light, he reached out and pressed on this object, as his mind fell, in an instant, a bright light shrouded in it!
