Chapter 23: The Temple of the Green Underworld

After more than a day of cultivation, Bai Yitong finally broke through the threshold of the early stage of gathering spirits and entered the ranks of mid-stage cultivators. The difference between the third layer of Gathering Spirits and the fourth layer of Gathering Spirits is not as simple as cultivating one layer higher. There is an extra layer in this, a leap in the small realm. That is to say, Bai Yitong entered the fourth layer of the Gathering Spirit from the third layer of the Gathering Spirit, and all the parts related to cultivation, such as his physical fitness, spell damage, meridian width, dantian capacity, and Yuan Shen condensation, all got a qualitative small leap.

After breaking through the realm threshold, Bai Yitong was not in a hurry to disperse. Instead, he continued to slowly consolidate the realm. An hour passed, and more than a dozen carrion beast corpses were consumed in Bai Yitong's storage bag. At this time, in his mud pill palace, there was a sudden "snap" sound. The mysterious lotus seed seemed to have absorbed enough energy, and the cracks at the upper and lower ends were a little bigger. Based on experience, Bai Yitong knew that the speed at which the mysterious lotus seed transformed the aura was a little faster. Seeing that the mysterious lotus seed had made new growth progress, Bai Yitong decided to strike while the iron was hot. So he spent another six hours converting the few remaining carcasses of the carrion beasts in the storage bag into pure spiritual energy in one go. Practice has proved that the speed at which the mysterious lotus seed transforms its aura is indeed nearly twice as fast as before. After all the spiritual energy was transformed, Bai Yitong was pleasantly surprised to find that he had reached the peak state of the fourth layer of the spirit gathering.

With the improvement of cultivation and realm, Bai Yitong found that his mastery of the Qing Yin True Technique and several spells had become much clearer. In particular, the effect of improving is very obvious. Comparatively speaking, the three spells in Otogi's Immortal Note did not show a very significant effect. Despite this, Bai Yitong knew that its effect had indeed improved a lot. It's just because, at this time, his physique has improved a lot, and the body's ability to resist blows has increased several times, so that the effect of Otogi's immortal injection spell has not appeared.

Bai Yitong ran the Qingyin True Technique once, and found that the light shrouded in the True Technique had increased. However, it is not known how much it has been strengthened due to the restriction of divine consciousness at the bottom of the pool. As the Qing Yin True Technique operated, the green light around Bai Yitong's body flickered. After the light passed, a layer of stone chips fell off the stone walls around him. Bai Yitong was running the exercises wholeheartedly, so naturally he didn't pay attention to these. After a pillar of incense, Bai Yitong withdrew from meditation. He was about to stretch, but suddenly noticed a pile of stone chips scattered around his feet. Bai Yitong took a closer look and found that the stone chips on the ground were dark in color. He pinched a small piece, and it felt heavy. A piece the size of a fingernail seems to weigh a thousand pounds. He gripped the stone chips in his hand and re-examined the recessed wall. The originally uneven stone wall was as smooth as a mirror at this time. It can be seen that the concave wall at the bottom of this pond was originally excavated and polished by hand. Perhaps due to the age, a layer of black dirt gradually attached to the originally smooth stone wall, and it became a little petrified over time.

"Above the netherworld, there were nine heavens. The phoenix dance is followed by the unicorn. Today, there is a green underworld, guarding the immortal source. By the king's own order, he will stay in the temple forever. ”

Bai Yitong raised his hand and touched the stone wall, only to see a flash of blue light, and there were four more rows of small characters on the stone wall. He secretly repeated it a few times, and understood part of the meaning without knowing it. The poem probably means that somewhere in the upper part of this world, there are nine heavens. And the Nine Heavens refers to the divine realm in popular legends. In the divine realm, there are unicorns and phoenixes soaring, and it is a world full of spiritual light. In the divine realm, there is a god called Qing Ming, who was ordered by the monarch to go to this realm to protect the immortal source, and will always be stationed in the temple he cultivated here.

"Xianyuan?

Bai Yitong frowned slightly, he thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with the meaning of Xianyuan. He really couldn't think of it, so he simply stopped thinking about it. I searched along the stone wall, but found no other handwriting. It's just that there are five small grooves on the inside of the concave wall, and you should put your fingers to see the shape. Curious, Bai Yitong gently pressed his left hand. I saw that the entire recess wall flashed brightly, and then revealed a phantom in the shape of a cave door.

Seeing this, Bai Yitong hurriedly flashed aside. After a while, when he realized that there was no danger, he tentatively walked towards the door-shaped phantom. Without any obstruction, Bai Yitong passed directly through the phantom of the cave door. Suddenly, the dazzling white light pierced Bai Yitong's eyeballs, making him temporarily blind for a moment. Because he has been in the dim light for the past two days, he suddenly entered the strong light, and naturally he was a little uncomfortable. After a moment, his eyes adjusted. At this time, there is a long road in front of me. With the cultivation of the peak of the fourth layer of the white pupil of the spirit gathering, he couldn't even see the end of this road. In this regard, he was not only slightly surprised.

"Anyway, we're already here, so why don't you go in and take a look. ”

After thinking for a while, Bai Yitong decided to go into the depths of the tunnel to find out. Because it was an unknown and unfamiliar environment, Bai Yitong seemed very careful. The road is very long, and it seems to stretch forward like an endless end. Bai Yitong walked on the jade ground, feeling as if he was walking on a soft cloud. Although the corridor is not very wide, it does not feel suffocating and oppressive. After walking for about half an hour, some carvings began to appear on the left and right walls of the road. The first lamp on the top wall since entering the corridor also appeared. After that, every half hour or so, a completely different style of lamp was hung. As the corridor deepened, the carvings on the left and right walls began to become more and more complex.

Two hours have passed, and the road still has not reached the end. Bai Yitong became a little impatient, he tried to release his divine consciousness out of his body as a warning, and let go of the speed under his feet and ran forward. He had tried it since he entered the Yongdao, and his divine sense and spells were no longer restricted in it. Under the operation of mana, Bai Yitong walked like a fly. An hour later, two quaint blue jade doors appeared in front of him. The top of the stone gate is engraved with the four big characters of "Qingming Temple", and there is a tendency to fly away in panic.

"It is worthy of a temple, and the passage in front of the temple is a hundred miles away. ”

Bai Yitong was secretly shocked and admired the god man called Qing Ming.

The green jade stone door does not have a pull ring and push rope, Bai Yitong only pushes slightly, and the stone door will be opened. Stepping into the stone gate, the first thing that catches your eye are two larger stone doors and a pair of giant white jade unicorns. On the blue jade stone door about 30 zhang high, there are two big characters engraved with "Qingming". Bai Yitong turned around and looked, and the Yongdao stone gate was in front of the blue jade stone gate, like a small ant.

In front of the blue jade gate, there is a square with a radius of ten miles. The square is completely made of jade of various colors, and you can see a pattern from a distance. Bai Yitong tried to walk into the square, but there was no special feeling. It's just that he always felt that this pattern was a little weird. But what was weird, he couldn't say. In the end, he had no choice but to shake his head and continue walking towards the blue jade gate.

"It's really strange, why is this temple so empty? Could it be that there is only one person stationed in a huge temple?"

Ever since he entered the corridor, Bai Yitong felt a little abnormal. At this time, he was about to enter the main temple, and there was no guard in this place that claimed to be a temple, how could it not arouse suspicion. Although Bai Yitong was very puzzled in his heart, he still walked straight towards the gate of the main hall. After all, from the beginning to the present, there has been no danger or weirdness in this Green Immortal Temple.

"Rumble ......"

With Bai Yitong's touch, the blue jade door opened. The blue jade door, which was originally thought to be very heavy, actually looked very light under his hands, like his own wooden door.

"This is Qing Ming?"

The blue jade gate slowly opened, and a huge statue stood in the center of the entire hall. The statue depicts a middle-aged and cold man, with a natural majesty between his eyebrows. Bai Yitong stared at the statue for a while, and gradually felt an urge to worship in his heart. He hurriedly closed his eyes, and opened them again after a moment, and the urge gradually faded. It's just that he never dared to look at the statue again. Then Bai Yitong looked at the entire hall, and he found that the scope of the hall was also extremely large, and people stood on top of the hall, like ants facing giant elephants. Underneath the main hall is a dark pool, and the water in the pool is darker than the black pool.

There is a jade paved path on the left and right sides of the statue and in front of it, which leads directly to the main entrance. In front of the statue, there is a simple and simple, but very atmospheric chair. In front of the seat was a long table with what seemed to be something. In addition, there are only twelve huge stone pillars left on the main hall, supporting the weight of the main hall.

Unconsciously stepping on the quiet walking road paved with exquisite jade, Bai Yitong suddenly felt that the inside and outside of his body seemed to be empty, leaving only his heart beating "bang". Everything was so quiet, as if time had stood still. Everything in front of me began to stop, and began to slip out of sight. The main hall, statues, tables and chairs, stone pillars, exquisite jade ......

"Yes!

Bai Yitong suddenly exclaimed, and struggled back from the edge of breaking away from consciousness. Then, he hurriedly pinched his hand trick and performed a heart purification technique on himself. In an instant, some of the memories and consciousness that had disappeared gradually returned to my mind.

"Whew...... If you don't turn your mind around in time, I'm afraid that you will become a walking corpse from now on. ”

Bai Yitong, who came to his senses, exhaled loudly, and repeatedly blamed himself for being too careless, and he actually fell into the trap set by others. At this time, Bai Yitong's eyes flashed, and the scene in the hall suddenly changed. In front of him, the main hall is still the main hall, but the exquisite jade path is full of dry bones. It was only at this moment that Bai Yitong understood that since he entered the Yongdao, he had fallen into the trap set by Qing Ming in the temple.

“...... How...... There will be so many dry bones of human beings. Judging by the extent of the decay of these dry bones, it seems that they are very old. It seems that quite a few people have come in here before. ”

Bai Yitong frowned slightly, and then stopped caring about this. He carefully walked around the skeletons on the ground and walked towards the long table in front of the statue. Because, he inadvertently swept his eyes to the stone box on the table. Because of the blessing of the Pure Heart Technique, he calmly walked all the way to the long table. Just as he raised his hand to lift the lid of the stone box, a clear drink interrupted his movements.

"Don't move!"

Let me say a word: Hehe, the next chapter of the on-site system, is about to land
