At this point, the dust has settled. The Netherworld Palace has returned to its former calm, but there is a little more harmony and joy than before.

"Brother Yan, now can you confirm my words and fulfill your promise, right?" After the yin ghosts dispersed, Ning Caichen took Xiao Qian's hand and looked at Yan Chixia with a smile.

Yan Chixia's face stiffened, and after a long time, she exhaled deeply: "It's okay to bow down, but your face is too tender, I really can't call this second brother." ”

"It's just a title, why do you care?" Ning Caichen smiled casually: "If you don't want to call the second brother, just continue to call scholars, anyway, I'm used to hearing it now." ”

Yan Chixia laughed, feeling comfortable in her heart: "I don't like cumbersome etiquette, if we want to worship, we can swear to heaven now." ”

Ning Caichen glanced at the beautiful girl who was sitting quietly on the side, smiling silently: "Two people bow down, and three people bow down." In ancient times, there were three knots in Taoyuan, how about the three of us have a dungeon three knots today?"

When a sentence was spoken, not only Yan Chixia was stunned, but even Nie Xiaoqian's eyes widened and froze in place.

The women of this era have been poisoned too deeply by the Three Principles and Five Constants, and have almost completely become vassals of men. Take the relationship between men and women in an ordinary family, for example, the husband can ask for flowers and willows, have three wives and four concubines, drink and have fun, and have no family, but the woman must have the virtue of chastity and not make the slightest mistake, otherwise she will be cruelly abandoned by the man.

childlessness, sickness, jealousy, theft, fornication...... and other seven reasons for divorce, which completely hit the status of women to the bottom and laid the status quo of an indestructible society in which men are superior to women.

In this environment, worshipping with women often means that they do not know the etiquette and law, and they are willing to fall, and in the court of Confucian governance, they will be regarded as a stain on being attacked and affect their careers.

"Why are you looking at me like this? This proposal is very problematic?" Ning Caichen knew their thoughts in his heart, but he came from later generations, and he was a little uninterested in the Confucian set of three outlines and five permanent iron laws, so naturally he would not let it affect him.

"Good scholar!" Yan Chixia paused, and suddenly raised her head and laughed: "The cultivators of my generation naturally don't have the saying that men are inferior to women, this proposal is simply normal." It's just that let's not say that Xiaoqian has a karma with you, just say the age of the two of you, after the three of you get married, do you still want to call her sister?"

Ning Caichen was stunned, but he really didn't expect this.

"I know what you mean, scholar. Yan Chixia patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Qian's cultivation is low, but it is indeed quite difficult to take charge of a faction, and it is understandable that you want to find a backer for her." I think so, the sworn worship is still carried out by the two of us, but after the sworn worship, I can recognize Xiaoqian as a righteous sister, anyway, there is already a second brother with a tender face, so what's the harm of having another righteous sister?"

"Thank you, Brother Yan. Ning Caichen's mind was broken, but it was not so embarrassing. After all, this so-called cause is all said by himself, Xiaoqian is not his wife, so naturally he can't be Yan Chixia's younger sibling. In this way, the relationship is far away, and there is nothing you want to ask for in the future.

didn't get anything formal, just in this hall, Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen knelt on the ground, read the oath together, and formed brothers of the opposite sex. After that, Yan Chixia recognized Nie Xiaoqian as her righteous sister and gave her a token of Shushan, if she met the righteous person who subdued demons and eliminated demons, it might be useful to save her life.

"Xiao Qian, this Netherworld Palace has been passed down to ancient times, and there must be rare treasures, do you know where this Treasure Pavilion is?"

"In the depths of this underground palace, there is a magnificent divine gate, and grandma once guessed that behind the divine gate is a huge space, which stores the treasures of the ancient sect. However, this divine gate is extremely strong, and external forces cannot open it at all, so the Netherworld Palace guarded the huge treasure before, but it is still living in poverty. Xiao Qian sighed and said.

Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen: "The scholar's imperial pen can be called a sharp weapon in the world, maybe it can open that door." ”

Ning Caichen took out the human emperor pen from his arms: "Let's go, go to that divine gate and have a look, if you can open it and obtain the resources of the ancient sect, the Netherworld Palace will be able to develop and grow rapidly." ”

At that moment, the two followed Xiao Qian out of the palace, and in the greeting of a ghost, they passed through the palace rooms and came to the end of the underground palace complex, a gust of yin wind, leading to a deeper underground tunnel.

After walking for about half a stick of incense in the tunnel, scattered night pearls began to appear on the stone walls on both sides, illuminating the road ahead.

As the journey progressed, there were more and more night pearls on the stone wall, and when they reached the end of the tunnel, the illuminated space was like daylight, so that a rusty large iron door was exposed in front of their eyes.

"The rusty iron gate, just by looking at the appearance, this gate is really very different from the mountain gate of the Netherworld. Ning Caichen said softly.

Yan Chixia's originally excited expression turned solemn, and she carefully studied the profound rune on the iron gate: "I seem to have seen this rune in the Shushan Library Pavilion, it is not a rune used to protect the important land, but a powerful and unpredictable Heavenly Demon Sealing Divine Record, a forbidden technique used by peerless Heavenly Demons to seal gods...... Xiao Qian, that tree demon is definitely mistaken, behind this door is by no means a treasure pavilion, but an unknown risk. ”

Xiao Qian was taken aback by his words: "In this way, it's a good thing that you didn't open this door!"

"So to speak. Yan Chixia said: "No one can predict what is sealed behind the iron gate, in case it is a powerful demon, not only will we not be spared, but this world will suffer a catastrophe." ”

Ning Caichen put the human emperor pen back into his arms: "Actually, if you think about it, whether it is a human or a demon, you must put yourself first on the road of seeking the Tao." If there are any rare treasures, they should also carry them with themselves, rather than leaving them for future generations. Unless, the value of that kind of rare treasure is not high, and it is difficult to use it in the future, it will be sealed and waited for fate. ”

Yan Chixia nodded: "That kind of treasure that waits for fate, will never set this kind of seal." Xiao Qian, I suggest that you cultivate to a higher level in the future and move the underground palace to another place, this seal is a hidden danger after all. In case the seal is broken one day in the future and a great demon is born, the forces close to the seal will definitely be the first to suffer. ”

"I made a note that in the future, if I have the ability, I will move this underground palace building out. Xiao Qian said seriously.

The two of them walked out of the tunnel, Yan Chixia turned around and pondered for a while: "In order to prevent a disciple from running in and opening this iron door by mistake, I think we should block the tunnel, and add a few more seals by the way." ”

Ning Caichen said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be safer to simply destroy the tunnel, bury the iron gate underground, and then set up a seal here and list it as a forbidden place?"

What the scholar said is not unreasonable, and this is indeed a more secure way. Yan Chixia said, and pulled out the Supreme Treasure Taiyi Essence Golden Sword: "Xiaoqian, what is your opinion?"

"Brother Yan just let it go. Nie Xiaoqian smiled softly: "This is no less than a great good thing for the Netherworld Palace. ”

"Edict!" Yan Chixia nodded, her fingers trembled, and the Taiyi Essence Golden Sword turned into a golden mang, slashing left and right, and in an instant, the entrance to the tunnel was destroyed and collapsed.

Then Yan Chixia bit the index finger of her right hand, drew a blood gossip on the palm of her left hand, flipped her palm, and volleyed it in the direction of the tunnel from top to bottom. There was a loud bang, as if an invisible mountain had fallen, and the entire tunnel had completely collapsed, and the ground around the tunnel had sunk half an arm's deep.

Retracting the flying sword and setting up a seal, Yan Chixia said: "Xiao Qian, after you go back, you choose a few strong Yin Souls, carry some earth and stones, and fill this place, there should be no problem." ”

Xiao Qian nodded, and after returning to the Netherworld Hall with the two of them, she immediately ordered her Yin Spirits to do this, and completely buried the iron gate with unknown risks deep underground.

"What are you going to do here?" Yan Chixia asked with a smile as she sat on the tall chair without any image.

Ning Caichen said suspiciously: "Isn't it already said that the three of us will ride horses and drink together." ”

"When did you say this? Why don't I have any impression?" Yan Chixia smiled.

"According to the current relationship between the three of us, it should be normal to go to the world together, right?" Ning Caichen knew that the three of them did not have such an agreement, so he immediately did not answer the rhetorical question.

Yan Chixia shook her head and looked at Xiao Qian: "What do you think?

"I've been locked in this space for a long time, and I want to get out and about, wherever I go. Xiao Qian said softly.

Yan Chixia paused: "Scholar, do you know how the legendary Dapeng bird became the king of birds?"

A trace of uneasiness surged in Ning Caichen's heart: "The reason why you say this, is it because you refuse to go with us?"

"It is certainly a beautiful thing for the three of them to travel the rivers and lakes side by side, but scholar, my cultivation is too much higher than yours. Yan Chixia said seriously: "It's not that I look down on you, but to walk with me, which is equivalent to the Dapeng Bird staying under its mother's wings forever, and never getting real experience." If you don't feel the great terror between heaven and earth, the great terror between life and death, the great terror of the world, and all kinds of love, hatred, hatred, anger and fear, how can you progress?"

Ning Caichen pursed his lips: "I know you won't look down on us, but is it really as serious as you said? You won't make a move until we are at the moment of life and death, and you can't?"

"No, I can't. Yan Chixia said categorically: "With me, once you encounter a life-and-death crisis, you will not work hard for your life, and you will slack off unconsciously in your heart, so that you will never be able to become a real strong person! Scholar, you have to remember that although everyone picks up materials and has a high flame, every strong person in the cultivation world does not rely on everyone to become stronger. ”
