Chapter 109: Outer Heaven
This autumn, there was an unusually heavy amount of rain.
On weekdays, in the city of Zhaozhou, a young man in a green shirt appeared. The autumn rain was pouring down, the curfew was over, and there were very few pedestrians on the road, except for a few breakfast shops that had opened their doors, and the street was particularly deserted.
The boy was a good day, he flew wildly all the way, and arrived in Zhaozhou on the third day. After entering the city, Liangchen turned around aimlessly a few times, at that time, wars were frequent, disasters and famines continued for many years, and the city was very depressed and languishing. Finally, I came to an extremely desolate and dilapidated alley, there is a stone archway at the mouth of the alley, and there are three simple and mellow characters on the book "Closed Door Alley".
As soon as he entered the alley, the familiar aura of annihilation rushed towards him again.
The alley was empty, except for a breakfast shop, and there were no people in the shop, only a lonely old man in his late teens, who was busy cooking food by himself. The old man did not have the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power on his body, he was just an ordinary old man, but the strange thing was that the power of annihilation did not affect him at all. After concentrating and perceiving for a while, Liangchen became clear, this old man is extremely rare than a group of tribulations, the heavenly doctor is dying, and when he is born, he is washed by the power of the stars, making his physique extremely strong.
After saying hello to the old man, Liangchen found a place to sit down, asked for some breakfast, and slowly ate and drank. Opposite the breakfast shop, there is a dilapidated longevity shop, and the strong atmosphere of annihilation is coming from this.
In troubled times, the business of the coffin shop was particularly good, and early in the morning, the sound of knives and axes was heard in the coffin shop. While eating, Liangchen cast his divine sense and swept into the courtyard where the coffin shop was located.
The courtyard is very small, the inside is more broken than the outside, and it is even more messy, and there are all kinds of timber used to make coffins, and the few houses, the doors and windows have long been rotten, and they are ventilated on all sides, and the cobwebs are dense, and they may fall at any time. There are more than a dozen coffins that have been made and not yet painted in the room, and there are still corpses in several of them.
The one who is making the coffin is an old woman, and there is no one else. This is the place marked on the map of the right protector of the Ghost Shadow Sect, if it weren't for the inconspicuous three words "Heaven and Heaven" engraved on a stone in front of the courtyard gate, Liangchen would even begin to suspect that he had come to the wrong place.
No anomalies were found, a coffin shop that couldn't be ordinary except for a somewhat strange name. Under the sweep of divine consciousness, the old woman did not see the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power on her body, just an ordinary coffin craftsman.
Liangchen retracted his senses and prepared to get up and walk towards the shroud shop.
"That place, young man, I can't go! The old man hurriedly shouted.
"Oh, why?" asked Liangchen curiously, turning his head.
"Listening to the old man's advice, he has opened a store for decades, but anyone who has been in has not survived for a month. This place is very evil, I heard that in the early years, the government wanted to demolish this place, and sent dozens of craftsmen in, but none of them came out, and then the officials in the house also died several times overnight, since then, no one dares to approach here, and those who originally lived here have moved out one after another. To tell you the truth, the old man was fleeing from the famine and fell here, and when he saw that this shop was empty, he picked it up to make a living, and for decades, I have seen too many people, because they did not listen to the old man's persuasion, and gave their lives in vain!" the old man sighed and said.
"Who lives in this shroud shop?" asked Liangchen.
"People, who are they? This place has been abandoned for many years, where did anyone come from?" said the old man with a smile.
"Hmm, you can't hear the sound of the coffin clanging?" asked Liangchen puzzled.
"Young man, don't play this joke with the old man. Although the old man is older, he still has clear ears and eyes, and if there is a voice or someone, the old man will definitely be able to hear and see it. Listen to the old man's persuasion, and leave quickly!" The old man didn't believe Liangchen's words.
"Oh? That's weird. Liangchen was very sure that the old man in front of him was not lying, everything he said was from the bottom of his heart, and he really didn't hear it. But he could clearly hear the sound coming from the courtyard, and under his divine consciousness, he also saw the old woman in the courtyard, which was indeed a bit strange.
Ignoring the old man's repeated persuasions, Liangchen pushed the door straight and entered. The sound of the door opening alarmed the old woman who was concentrating on her work, she raised her head, glanced at Liangchen casually with a pair of old eyes, and then lowered her head and continued her work.
"Old man, ask me about it, are you alone?" asked Liangchen with a smile.
"You're blind, the old man isn't a person, isn't it still a dog?" said the old woman angrily.
Liangchen knew that he had made a mistake, scratched his head with a little embarrassment, and hurriedly accompanied: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, don't be angry, I want to ask if you are alone here?
"Those who are alive here are the only ones who are old, and the rest are all unspeakable, hurry up and get out, there are no acquaintances of yours here. The old woman's attitude was very bad, and while driving away the good days, the work in her hands did not stop.
"You get busy first, I'll take a look. "I can't talk to this weird-tempered old woman, and of course Liangchen won't be as knowledgeable as an old man, but he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he went into the room and went to inspect the coffins. The old woman didn't stop it, and let Liangchen act at will.
These coffins are old and new, some are made recently, some are obviously old, and the coffins are all cracked due to time, and the color is dull gray. Under the sweep of the divine sense, Liangchen did not find the slightest abnormality, and the several dead bodies in the coffin were all dead and could no longer die, without any energy fluctuations.
Liangchen then extinguished the three fires on his body and opened the eye of heaven, but he still found nothing.
This is strange, this right protector could not have predicted in advance that he would die at the hands of Liangchen, so he put a fake map in the Sumeru ring in advance? There must be something missing, although he was very puzzled, Liangchen was still sure that his judgment would not be wrong. What is the problem? Liangchen pondered for a while, but still had no clue.
"Boy, what are you looking for?" At some point, the old woman suddenly appeared behind Liangchen and startled him.
Regarding the old woman's movements, Liangchen didn't notice it in the slightest, and he couldn't help but be alert: "It's nothing, old man, let me ask you, have you ever heard of the Ghost Shadow Sect?"
"The old body is a coffin shop here, there are so many good coffins, depending on which pair, the old body can be sold to you. What kind of ghost shadow sect is from the human shadow sect, the old body has never heard of it, and he doesn't want to hear it. There were still a few old customers lying here, and they were not going to disturb their quiet. The old woman said in a dark voice, took a rag, and wiped it on the coffin.
At this time, Liangchen can be sure that this old woman is definitely not an ordinary person, either her strength is far beyond herself, or she has some means to hide her strength, so that he has no way to peep. Either way, the strength of the other party should not be underestimated. Time is pressing, he doesn't want to play a game of cat and mouse with the other party, at this time, it doesn't make much sense to hide and hide, so he simply picks out: "I have a very strange stone tablet in my hand, maybe you always want to take a look?"
"The old body is a coffin maker, and he is not interested in stone tablets. The old woman had a cold smile on her face, and her hands were still wiping the coffin.
"Is this true? This thing is a sacred relic of the Ghost Shadow Sect, and it is just a stone in my hand, so it is useless. But I'm more curious, and I want to go into the legendary forbidden place to see, I wonder if the old man can do it?" said with a smile.
"Boy, since you know that it is a forbidden land, how dare you make such a childish request, and be kicked in the head by a donkey?" the old woman mocked.
"You're always good at talking, and I've never been kicked in the head by a donkey or caught in a door, and I'm fine. Liangchen said with a smile on his face.
"The old man sees that your kid has a lot of lives in his hands, and if he kills, he will be killed, why do you want to beat him to the ground, and he doesn't even give him the opportunity to reincarnate, and he is so resolute in doing things, leaving no room for reincarnation, aren't you afraid of suffering from heaven?" the old woman said coldly, with murderous intent in her tone.
"You're too worried, that's a way for me to show respect to my opponent!" said Yoshiki with a shameless smile.
The old woman looked at Liangchen with disdain: "You kid is also quite good at chatting." Put down the stele and get out of here. ”
"You are always admitting your relationship with the Ghost Shadow Sect, and you are not ready to kill me to take revenge?" asked Liangchen curiously.
"Kill you, take revenge, hehe, boy, the old body has changed his mind, and the old body has decided to fulfill your boy's wish to die, but it is not to avenge anything, it is purely a whim of the old body. The old woman said with a sneer, and at the same time, she also released her own momentum.
"Sage Realm?" Liangchen was stunned, the twelve canons on the old woman's body had all been opened, but there was no doubt that it was the Sage Realm.
In the cultivator realm, it has been many years since he has been out of the Sage Realm, and even if it is the True Realm, there are very few, so after Duan Wuji enters the True Realm, he will be so soothing and floating. Damn, a powerful opponent that can't exist at all, he was stunned to be met by Liangchen, and it was really unfavorable for the passing years. Even if it is the realm of the true one, Liangchen can just get up, but in front of the realm of the sage, he can only beg for death.
Liangchen couldn't help but secretly complain, and said with a sincere wry smile: "That, old man, can you restrain your old interest, and see that you are always that kind person, don't meet me like a foolish boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, okay?"
"It's really unproductive, the old body is a person who cherishes talents, if you don't beg for mercy, maybe you will consider letting you go, but I didn't expect it to be such a soft bone, embarrassing and useful. Choose a way to die yourself, the coffin here of the old body, and choose a pair by the way, this is the last thing the old body can do for you. The old woman pointed to a room of coffins, shook her head and sighed.
At this time, Liangchen also regretted it in his heart, he tried to contact Qian Tianzun several times, but he did not get a response, and at the critical moment, Qian Tianzun also fell off the chain. This time the embarrassment is big, and he came to someone's place early in the morning to die. "Thank you for your old age, since you let me choose, then let me die of old age!" Liangchen gaged with a smile on his face, while thinking about countermeasures quickly, but what made him desperate was that in the face of absolute strength, he was not even qualified to fight.
"You kid, there's no cure. The old woman shook her head in disappointment, and the momentum on her body became cold, and she was ready to start.
"Wait•••••• don't you always want the Soul Exorcism Monument? The Soul Exorcism Tablet is still in my hands, and you can't do it yet. Seeing that the other party was coming, Liangchen became a little anxious.
"This, you don't have to worry about it, kill you, and everything will be old. The old woman sneered and said, looking at Liangchen like a dead man.
"That's not necessarily, to tell you the truth, I stored the Soul Exorcism Tablet in a place that only I can open. Kill me, and you won't be able to imagine it. In a hurry, Liangchen couldn't take care of much, and wanted to grasp the life-saving straw of the Exorcism Monument.
"Hehe, boy, you are really an alternative, the old body is a little reluctant to kill you, and you are so treacherous and cunning when you are dying. But it's also stupid, do you really think that a mere stone tablet is so important to the old body?" the old woman sneered and threatened.
"Even if it's not important, in your old heart, it's more important than my little life, isn't it?" Liangchen said with a sneer, his intuition told him that the old woman in front of him would not easily give up the Soul Exorcism Monument, and of course, would not give up killing herself.
"Are you threatening the old body?" the old woman asked with a little curiosity as she looked at Liangchen playfully.
"Don't dare, everyone is a smart person, why do that thing that harms others and is not beneficial to yourself. With your old strength, if you want to kill me in a small spirit realm, it is no easier than crushing an ant, you can do it at any time. It's better to make it convenient, you will let me go this time, this soul exorcism monument, just when I thank you for your grace of not killing••••••" Seeing that things have a tendency to turn around, Liangchen hurriedly analyzed tentatively, while paying close attention to the changes in the old woman's demeanor, he once again experienced the feeling of completely looking at other people's faces, which is really uncomfortable. But life is sometimes like this, it can't be too square, it can't be too round, but it must be elliptical, able to bend and stretch, and able to afford to lose when you win.
"Hehe, interesting, after the old body kills you, you can also keep your soul and continue to be amused, so that you can be blind before you die?" said the old woman, and actually moved her hand.
Liangchen is not a soft persimmon, the Sage Realm, he also has the courage to go to the Gang, not to mention, he has also comprehended the Dao Realm.
