The four of them traveled all the way, and on the way they talked about the question of why the dragon soul wanted to flee to the Nine Hidden Platforms, and the palace master explained everyone's doubts and said:

"Before our world was divided into the Three Realms, the Nine Shadows Terrace was the gateway to the ghost cultivation settlement. ”

At that time, the main living area of human beings and human immortal cultivators was the current human realm, while the demon realm and the ghost realm were the main inhabited areas of ghost cultivators and demon cultivators at that time.

Jiuyoutai, as a pass between the human world, the demon world and the ghost world, is actually not a platform, but a mountain, which should be called Jiuyou Mountain.

There are a total of nine peaks in Jiuyou Mountain, and the peaks are as flat as a platform, so people are accustomed to calling it Jiuyoutai.

Now this Nine Hidden Platforms, although they are in the ghost world, are semi-independent of the ghost world, turning one direction is the human world, and the other direction is very close to the demon world, that is to say, when it comes to the Nine Hidden Platforms, although it has reached the ghost world, it cannot really be regarded as entering the ghost world, but it can only be regarded as the junction of the three worlds of the human world, the demon world and the ghost world.

The dragon soul only fled to the Nine Hidden Platforms, precisely because the Nine Hidden Platforms were semi-independent of the Ghost Realm, and they were also very close to the Human Realm and the Demon Realm, and they did not need to go through the passage between the Ghost Realm and the Demon Realm and the Human Realm, so naturally there was no danger of crossing the entrance of that node-

And the wisp of divine consciousness stolen by Suzaku will definitely work, and it will naturally lead the dragon soul to escape to the Nine Hidden Platforms!

——Judging from the prophecy of the Verse Seal, and judging from the reasonable speculation of the Great Palace Lord, it is natural that he should come here to capture the dragon soul.

As for Ye Jingqiu, Ruyulong, and the two palace masters of Bibo Palace, the best way for these four people to capture the dragon soul and enter the Nine Shadows Terrace is to enter from the human world.

However, why did the palace master lead Ye Jingqiu and the other three to go from the ghost realm?

The palace master has her own considerations: go to the ghost world to go to the Nine Hidden Platforms, this is the passage that must pass through the human world and the ghost world!

There is a hallway in the Yin-Yang Well, and there are special requirements for crossing the hallway, which is the painstaking work of the master of the big palace to complete the master of the five palaces, where do Ye Jingqiu and Ruyulong know?

The master of the fifth palace also knew that his eldest sister's arrangement was really well-intentioned before he passed through the entrance!

Now, Taoyuan Zhu is speeding in the ghost world, a group of four people, and the palace master sighs secretly in his heart: Sure enough, "fate is not enough, and it can't be bound"; Fortune is only encountered, and the cycle cannot be sought"Ah!

I have calculated thousands of calculations, people are not as good as heaven, and I missed that he Ye Jingqiu could actually use this magic weapon to take the fifth sister through the entrance!

Where did Ye Jingqiu and the others know the thoughts of the Great Palace Master? The Great Palace Master lost his mind for a while, and Ye Jingqiu "reminded": "Great Palace Master, now that we have arrived at the Underworld, how can we go?"

The Great Palace Lord came back to his senses and said, "It's so fast! Have you arrived at the Underworld Ridge? Walk north along the main vein of the Underworld Ridge for three million miles, and the nine peaks that look like nine-petal lotus flowers from a distance are the Nine Shadows Ridge. ”

There is no story about this part of the journey, only that when Taoyuanzhu galloped to the foot of the Nine Hidden Mountains, the main road of the palace was:

"There is only one way in and out of the Nine Hidden Platforms, and this road has long been closed by the gods of the upper realm, and it is full of murderous opportunities for living beings, which can be described as terrifying step by step. ”

When Ru Yulong heard this, he said: "Yibo, since this place is so dangerous, it is better for you and the fifth sister to stay outside, and I can go in with the third brother Ye." ”

When Ye Jingqiu heard this, he immediately despised this jade dragon "heavy color and light friend", and secretly said that it is dangerous here, your delicate wife and sister-in-law will not go in, but let me go in with you?

Ye Jingqiu just thought about it like this, and found a reason to despise Ruyulong emotionally. As for not working in the field when he got to the ground, Ye Jingqiu really didn't think about it.

However, in the face of Ruyulong's proposal, the lord of the big palace was unwilling, and the lord of the fifth palace was the only one who was the head of the eldest sister, so the four of them went in together, and it was concluded.

But when you get to the mountain, there is an unknown danger, and the way to deal with it is to control the Taoyuan Pearl in the autumn and bring everyone with you.

The four of them were in the Taoyuan Pearl, and Ye Jingqiu drove the Taoyuan Pearl, turning around along the Nine Secluded Terrace, looking for the entrance to the mountain, safe.

The master of the palace said: "'Seven turns and eight turns, the tiger's mouth is frightened', I remember according to this mantra, in the southernmost Hutoutai here, is the entrance, because there are many dangers inside, every step is frightened, so this place is called the tiger's mouth." ”

After listening to the words of the Great Palace Lord, Ye Jingqiu, Ru Yulong, and the Five Palace Masters all released their divine senses outside to explore where the entrance was. The same goes for the master of the palace.

When everyone released their divine sense, they immediately felt that their divine consciousness was like touching an invisible wall, and it was bounced back, and it flew around uncontrollably like a diffuse reflection of light, which alarmed some ghost cultivators in the Nine Shadows Terrace at that time!

The ghost cultivators in this Nine Ghost Terrace, known as the Nine Ghost Cultivators, are usually in a semi-comatose state and are lifeless.

At this time, the people who were alarmed were all some ghost cultivators who were close to the outside.

The Nine Ghost cultivators who were alarmed, after opening their eyes, immediately released a dead light in their eyes, and this dead light could actually penetrate to the outside, and the divine consciousness released by everyone was immediately consumed by the death light emitted by the Nine Ghosts!

Ye Jingqiu, Ru Yulong, the Great Palace Master and the Fifth Palace Master all felt a kind of pain when they landed, but it was the pain of damage to their divine sense. Of course, the pain quickly disappeared, because after all, there was no loss of consciousness.

The Great Palace Lord reminded: "We have already alarmed the Nine Ghost Cultivators here, and judging from the fact that the death light they emit can be revealed, this should be the place where the 'Tiger's Mouth' entered the Nine Ghost Terrace. ”

When Ye Jingqiu heard this, he asked, "Great Palace Master, since this is where the entrance to the tiger's mouth is located, can the specific location be determined?"

The palace master said: "This, I can be sure, but we can't go in again today, we have to stay away from here, and tomorrow, that is, after these nine ghosts fall asleep again, it will be the time for us to enter." ”

"Why?" the Fifth Palace Lord couldn't help but ask.

The master of the palace said: "The nine ghosts near the entrance are actually the best ghosts ,......."

"Eldest sister, what is a good hand and a ghost?"

The palace lord said with a smile: "The best hand to accept the ghost, the reason why it is called this is because their hands and palms are where the palace acupoints are, and each has a eye, this is their eyes, and when they open them, they will emit a dead light."

Their eyes are both their organs and weapons for seeing the world. This kind of ghost cultivation, because the eyes are born in the palm of the hand, is extremely flexible when using this kind of death light attack. ”

"Their attacks are also divided into high and low realms, right?" Ye Jingqiu asked if he was suspicious.

The master of the palace said: "This kind of ghost cultivation, in the same realm, there is almost no difference in rank. For example, a first-order Xuandao first-order ghost cultivator and a ninth-order Jiashou ghost cultivator have almost no difference in attack, much higher than the first-order Xuandao first-order immortal cultivators of other races. ”

How many types of ghost cultivation there are in the Nine Shadows Terrace is also a question that Ye Jingqiu wants to ask. After all, Ye Jingqiu knows very well that the book on the art of war says: knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

For example, the three of Yulong, the Great Palace Master and the Fifth Palace Lord also understood the truth of knowing themselves and their opponents at this time, so naturally the Great Palace Lord explained the situation to everyone.

For example, after the palace master explained, Jade Dragon asked a question: "Why can the dragon soul hide here without being discovered by the ghost cultivators?"

Omiya also explained: "One of the ghost cultivators here is extremely sensitive to living beings, and as long as you arrive, they can be discovered.

The other is that the ghost cultivators here are also equally sensitive to the dead soul or soul body, but this dragon soul, called the dragon soul, is actually just a resentful soul, and moreover, it is just a mass of energy, and the soul consciousness in it has long since died, so here, the ghost cultivators cannot find it. ”

Ye Jingqiu couldn't help asking, "Is it because of this that you can't find out?" Is there any other reason?"

"Of course, the ghost cultivators in these Nine Secluded Platforms, in terms of cultivation methods, mainly focus on sleeping, all of them are sleeping kings and sleeping gods, and while they are sleeping, they are naturally absorbing the ghost qi in the Nine Secluded Platforms, and they are getting stronger and stronger-

However, they were also very easily awakened, after all, they were all made of ghost cultivators, and their sleep was different from that of human immortal cultivators. ”

Ye Jingqiu controlled the Taoyuan Pearl, took everyone away from the tiger's mouth, stayed for a day, and the palace master took the opportunity to explain the situation inside, and finally, the palace master said:

"This is the situation at the beginning when Jiuyoutai was not closed, and now what has changed, the work is not clear, after all, millions of years have passed, and the vicissitudes of life have changed a lot. ”

Ye Jingqiu was like a jade dragon and said strangely: "What? Listen to what you mean, I have been here a million years ago?"

"Yes, I came at that time to receive the approval of the seal of the verse. ”

Ye Jingqiu and Ruyulong listened, and they both said: "I think that since this world is divided into three, there should not be only two pieces of the Dialect Seal, but unexpectedly, the original palace master is the person chosen by the third Dialect Seal!"

The palace lord said with a smile: "Everything has a heavenly decision, we cultivate immortals, although we are acting against the sky, but in essence we still worship the way of heaven and cannot be violated!"

As he spoke, the Grand Palace Master said, "After this world was divided into three, it wasn't long before someone brought me to receive the approval of the Sayings.

On the other hand, at the time I thought there was only one proverb in this world. Unexpectedly, after I was recognized by the Dialect Seal, it took nearly a million years for me to only advance to the fourth order of the Xuan Dao.

Later, someone came to inform me that I could not complete the task of unifying the Three Realms alone, and that two others had to help me, that is, after the unification of the world, it would be divided and ruled by those who recognized it by the three pieces of verses. ”

When Ruyulong heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Jingqiu, and said secretly in his heart:

Yibo is now my wife, it doesn't matter if she divides one side, just like my rule, in the end, I am afraid that in the end, I am just afraid that I will fight with Third Brother Ye as a husband and wife.

My grandfather said back then, when you fight, you fight. I can't say, in the end, I still have to fight with this Third Brother Ye.

For example, Yulong's thoughts naturally would not be spoken. Ye Jingqiu naturally didn't know.

However, it was said that the four of them waited for a day and came back to the entrance of the Nine Shadows Terrace that they had identified yesterday, and sure enough, calm had returned here.

The lord of the palace said: "Lord Ye Meng, Jade Dragon, Fifth Sister, we are only sitting in the Taoyuan Pearl today, and we are not allowed to release our divine sense, and let Lord Ye Meng advance according to this map." ”

As he spoke, the palace master handed over a jade slip, and the drawing in the jade slip was the road map of the Nine Hidden Platforms. Ye Jingqiu looked at it for a long time and found that it turned out that the entrance of the Nine Hidden Terrace, and what was shown in the picture was where the four of them were today.

It's just that it's not an entrance at all.

Looking further back, although the road is zigzag, it leads to the exit at the other end.

After Ye Jingqiu saw it, he asked: "Great Palace Master, it is said that after we entered, it was thrilling step by step, but according to the route you showed, it was the exit that went straight to the other end, why is this?"

The palace master said: "Lord Ye Meng, after seeing your magic weapon yesterday, I found that there is basically no danger on our trip.

With your magic weapon, we won't alarm those Nine Ghost Cultivators until our destination. It's just that the dragon soul, according to my speculation, must have fled here, which is the result of Suzaku stealing a wisp of divine consciousness!

Of course, once it had escaped here, it would naturally flee to the other exit. ”

Ye Jingqiu said: "I see! I don't know if there is any danger after we arrive at our destination?"

The master of the palace said: "When you get there, there will definitely be some danger." As long as you find the dragon soul and want to catch it, you will be discovered by the nine ghost cultivators near the dragon soul, and there will be a fight at that time!"

When Ye Jingqiu heard this, he said: "That is the case, after arriving at the location, I can capture the dragon soul, you only need to sit in my Taoyuan Pearl." ”

The big palace lord was about to say no, but the fifth palace lord sent a message to Ye Jingqiu and said: "The surname Ye, when I get to the place, I will also fight! I won't stay here as a light bulb." ”

Ye Jingqiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it.

Just the palace master said: "Well, let's enter the tiger's mouth!"

Ye Jingqiu listened, controlled the Taoyuan Pearl, with the supernatural function of the Taoyuan Pearl, naturally used the method of hard squeezing in, and suddenly penetrated the wall of the outside world of Jiuyoutai Tun and entered the Jiuyoutai.

Seeing this, the master of the palace stared at the boss and said, "I knew that your bead could be used like this, and we didn't have to hide yesterday, let alone look for any entrance outside!"

Ye Jingqiu said in his heart, my Peach Source Bead is not comparable to ordinary magic weapons, but Ye Jingqiu said in his mouth: "Great Palace Master, I can only give full play to this characteristic of my Peach Source Bead at this entrance." ”

The palace master was silent, and only signaled to hurry forward.

After entering the tiger's mouth, the palace master said: "With such a magic weapon, there is no problem in not following the set route and taking a shortcut." However, we can't be sure where the dragon soul has fled, or if it may not have escaped here!"

So Ye Jingqiu drove the Taoyuan Pearl, like looking for a needle in a haystack in this passage, turning left and right along the way, and the mountain road made eighteen bends.

After walking for a long time and looking for a long time, Ye Jingqiu couldn't help but ask, "Great Palace Master, how can I know where the dragon soul is?"

The palace master said: "We don't have to release our divine consciousness to your peach source pearl, as long as we get close to the dragon soul, you will feel endless grief and resentment attached to your body, and people walk in this grief and resentment as if they are in water!"

As soon as the palace master said this, Ye Jingqiu had a bottom in his heart, but all the way to find it, although there was grief and resentment from time to time, it was all emanating from some low-level ghosts, and everyone never felt the extremely strong grief and resentment that the palace master said!

The Fifth Palace Lord couldn't help but express his doubts: "Eldest sister, is it wrong that you guessed that the dragon soul didn't flee here?"

The Great Palace Lord groaned and said, "It is said that the Verse Seal predicted this result, the dragon soul is going to the Nine Hidden Platforms, not to mention that the Vermilion Bird has already secretly planted a wisp of divine consciousness in the dragon soul!"

With Suzaku's ability, the dragon soul will inevitably come this way under the control of this wisp of divine consciousness, and there is no good way to go other than this-

Let's go directly to the exit at the other end to find it, if not, please trouble the Lord of the Ye Alliance to urge Taoyuan Zhu to go back, we can just take a trip!"

The Fifth Palace Lord asked suspiciously, "Sister, the prophecy of the Verse Seal is not enough, why did the wisp of divine consciousness that Suzaku secretly planted actually manipulate the dragon soul to go to the Nine Shadows Terrace?"

"Suzaku only planted a wisp of divine consciousness, and didn't dare to use more, I think, it's because I'm afraid that when the dragon soul escapes, it will be noticed by the ghost cultivators.

Think about it, if the dragon soul shows a strong breath of life, won't it be eaten by the ghost cultivators? If it is really eaten by the ghost cultivators, wouldn't it be a hard time for Suzaku to marry people in vain? With Suzaku's heart, he would not be willing to do this anyway. ”

Ye Jingqiu nodded, thinking that the palace master was reasonable. If Yulong is a wife and husband at this time, there is no objection. The Lord of the Five Palaces naturally had nothing to say at this point.

Sure enough, when they came to the entrance at the other end, that is, near the exit, everyone was in the Taoyuan Pearl, and they all felt that there was a very strong sense of grief and resentment in the Nine Hidden Platforms outside!

Ye Jingqiu, as the master of the magic weapon, perceives it most clearly:

This grief and resentment makes people feel extremely uncomfortable!

The peach garden is really like moving in water!

Sure enough, the dragon soul escaped here!

The dragon soul is drilling into that wall, just wanting to get out, and on the other side of the wall, is the demon world!

Why didn't the dragon soul get out?

For one, it has no real consciousness, just a mass of energy.

Second, the wisp of divine consciousness that Suzaku stole and planted did not dare to "grow strong", because once it grew strong, when the dragon soul escaped here, it would be detected by the ghost cultivators!

There are many ants biting and killing elephants, and so many ghost cultivators pounce on them, and there is enough in this dragon soul to devour? Naturally, it won't reach Suzaku's hands!

Suzaku's idea was to consider this as a whole, and he was supposed to come here to take the dragon soul after he stepped into the holy path-

It's a pity that Suzaku couldn't think of it, he couldn't think about it, on this side of the human world, the eldest daughter of the original world lord Water Dragon Yin, the master of the Yin Yang Island Palace, Shui Yibo, had already been enlightened, and now he brought someone to seize this dragon soul!

Of course, the dragon soul failed to drill through the wall, and there was a small reason:

This is beside the dragon, there are countless ghosts and ghosts attached, and these ghosts and ghosts are actually the nine ghosts in this Nine Ghosts Terrace!

These ghost cultivators, in order not to alarm other ghost cultivators to share the food, are quietly and quietly devouring the energy of the dragon soul, naturally blocking and hindering the progress of the dragon soul, preventing it from penetrating the wall-

This is obviously dragging the dragon soul back, helping the palace master and Ye Jingqiu, and retaining the ignorant and ignorant dragon soul who is already just a mass of energy body!
