When the sun rose, the coldness of the ground faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the connection between Ren Qing and the ghost shadow disappeared.
His expression was slightly helpless. Logically speaking, he was one step away from accessing the secrets of Huangsha City, but the magic failed.
Liu Chuan will probably be sent to the government next, and the monks will most likely inspect his Niwan Palace. The loss of his soul will definitely not be concealed.
But no matter what, at least Ren Qing figured out the situation in Huangsha City.
Even if the ghost has nothing to gain, it won't be long before he can try to cross the sandstorm again, and it shouldn't be difficult to sneak into the city.
But before that, he had to figure out what the Jailer Hall was going to do.
Ren Qing continued to move forward, while stroking his heart to inform Li Tiangang in advance.
When he approached the camp, he discovered that there was a sheet of paper about a hundred meters high in the sky, completely blocking the sunlight.
In the shadow is where the jailer is stationed, and there are some prototypes of a town.
After the guard on patrol saw Ren Qing, his wary eyes immediately turned over. The atmosphere seemed extremely quiet, as if he was on guard.
Ren Qing took out the jailer's token, waved it, and walked into it nonchalantly.
He changed a lot after arriving at Shuize. Not only was his skin tanned, but his shoulders were also loose, making it difficult for others to recognize him.
The guards were talking in the distance, wondering who could cross the water alone.
Because it was too hot during the day, they had just finished their busy work and were about to go to the stone house to take a rest.
Ren Qing looked at the open space and saw a large amount of materials piled up, as well as a high platform under construction, which was currently seven or eight meters tall.
Some of them look like altars used by Ksitigarbha to summon souls, but I don’t know what they are used for.
Ren Qing's arrival did not cause any disturbance, and he started wandering around the camp.
He could feel that Li Tiangang was constantly observing him in the dark, as if he was confirming something.
After more than half an hour passed, Li Tiangang came up to him.
He looked at Ren Qing for a moment, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said: "Ren Qing, you should have arrived a few months ago, why are you so slow?"
Li Tiangang had received the news before, but he had not seen Ren Qing for a long time. He thought there was some accident in the watery desert.
Ren Qing said with a smile: "The magic weapon originally used for transportation had some minor problems, so it was delayed a lot of time."
"Magical weapon? What magical weapon?"
Ren Qing explained vaguely: "It's just a small boat. I'll show it to Senior Li when I get the chance..."
"It's okay, just come."
Li Tiangang didn't pay too much attention to the magic weapon, and the two of them communicated with each other.
Originally he wanted to have some reservations, but obviously Ren Qing knew a lot, so he simply regarded it as a complement to Mizusawa's information.
Ren Qing was slightly surprised after hearing this.
Li Tiangang actually went to the water edge of Abi Hell, but he didn't go deep into it.
After all, even in the Yin Chao realm, it is extremely difficult to fight against the power of Heaven, especially since the terrifying wind of the sandstorm can easily sweep away the monks.
Li Tiangang finally chose to set up a camp here, which is considered a relatively remote location in Shuize.
"Senior Li, does the Jailer Hall have any plans?"
Ren Qing discovered something was wrong when he arrived at the camp.
He will try to go to Huangsha City again in a few months at most, but he should not affect himself.
"Have you noticed the clouds that appeared in the evening? I suspect they are the source of the water phenomenon."
After hearing this, Ren Qing suddenly had a thought in his mind and his expression became strange: "Could it be that Senior Li Tiangang..."
"The main purpose of the Jailer Hall is to prevent the water from continuing to expand, so we have to check the situation, but the wind and sand here are really dangerous."
"Even if you cast a spell, you can't go to the sky, so you might as well build a tower."
Only then did Ren Qing realize that Li Tiangang's ideas coincided with those of the Gobi people, and they were all preparing to build a ladder to heaven.
In terms of wheel speed, although Huangsha City is faster, its efficiency is definitely not as good as that of Jailer Hall.
Maybe the two waves of forces will be completed at the same time. If we can really use this to get to the cloud, who knows what is in Qingxu Temple.
The development of things was really unexpected.
What Ren Qing can do is to find out whether the Qingxu Palace recorded in Huangsha City is true or false, and then inform the Jailer Hall.
Li Tiangang asked with strange eyes: "Speaking of the fact that you have been exposed to wind and sun, haven't you ever experienced confusion?"
"Well……"
Ren Qing shook his head and replied: "I did notice that the water mist turned into a human form, but I used magic to block out the sunlight in advance."
As he spoke, Ren Qing's skin and flesh were covered in ghost shadows, and the Taoist robes tightly wrapped him from head to toe.
Seeing this, Li Tiangang nodded secretly.
He originally received the message that Ren Qing was coming, and he was really worried that the latter would be affected by the water and turn into some kind of indescribable creature.
That's why I took precautions when I first arrived. I didn't expect that Ren Qing would remain unscathed for several months.
Li Tiangang considered whether he should find a reason to transfer Ren Qing back to Xiangxiang so that Da Meng Zhenren could help him advance to the underworld realm as soon as possible.
Ren Qing couldn't help but ask Shui Wu and at the same time narrated his own opinion.
Li Tiangang also believes that water mist is a unique creature.
It can be seen from what happened to Yanfeng that he still has not regained consciousness. Even his three souls and seven souls suddenly disappeared. It seems that he is trapped somewhere and cannot return to his original body.
When a monk is exposed to sunlight, the water in his body will quickly evaporate and turn into a strange substance called "ze".
When the lake is in the alternation of day and night, the monk's consciousness will be absorbed into it, thus becoming the "Zhexian" with three flowers gathered on the top.
"Zexian?"
Ren Qing couldn't help but be a little surprised as to why Li Tiangang called him that.
"When the second jailer turned into a Zexian, many people, including me, were around. When they saw this creature, their first reaction was... like an immortal."
"The Zexian has an invisible influence on the senses, causing others to mistake it for a fairy. However, it easily blends into the world and makes the nearby wind and sand pause for a few breaths with a wave of its hand."
Li Tiangang's tone felt absurd, after all, his power far exceeded that of the Ghost Envoy.
For a monk to advance to a higher realm step by step, it is like climbing a mountain. The closer you are to the top of the mountain, the more difficult it becomes.
There is no reason why you can become an immortal by giving up your body.
Even if the jailer turned into a Zexian, he obviously retained his spiritual intelligence. He kept describing the immortal residence standing on the clouds and warned others not to imitate it. This road was just a dead end.
Li Tiangang wanted to control Zexian, but the latter disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He later revised the memories of all the jailers in the camp and deleted all the content about Zexian.
Among the second batch of guards dispatched by Li Tiangang, there was a monk who was good at eye skills.
He could see a mountain peak standing in the clouds at the turn of day and night, with several Taoist temples and countless immortals on it.
That's what Ze Xian called the Immortal Residence.
Ren Qing showed a wry smile.
The Qingxu Palace in his eyes was completely different. Shanfeng's real body was an old man whose skin was covered with pustules, which looked strange and inexplicable.
"Actually, I can see clearly the Immortal Residence in the Clouds..."
Ren Qing told the story of Qingxu Palace, including the old man with abscesses.
"Sure enough, it's some heretical means. Let's go and see what the Immortal Residence is like."
Li Tiangang sneered a few times.
Ren Qing suddenly remembered the jailer with alienated lungs and couldn't help but mention this person.
Wuwei Taoist Temple does seem to be connected with Huangsha City. On the surface, they believe in Taoist ancestors, let alone fabricated magic.
"My wine was placed in the open air in the water, but it was dried by the sun not long after, and there was no abnormality at all."
The woman's name is Luo Mingmeng. She has used magic to transplant new lungs, but her body is inevitably weak.
Ren Qing did not see Luo Mingmeng in the camp, he should be resting in the stone house.
He chatted with Li Tiangang for a while, and seeing that it was almost noon, he found a free stone house and lived in it.
Ren Qing waited for night to arrive, and the separated soul entered the Wuwei Dojo.
He felt that the fabrication of magic might be of great importance, and it was necessary to go to the meeting hall.
The current Wuwei Dojo is close to collapse.
After all, Tiandaozi's longevity was exhausted, leaving less than half of the water level in the pond, thus exposing dozens of Tiandao worm larvae.
All the tombstone furnaces in the Fire Refining Palace have been moved into the prison in the belly. In fact, Ren Qing didn't need to come back just to be on the safe side.
But Ren Qing had a vague feeling that the Taoist statue in the meeting hall might be worth more than the tombstone furnace.
Not surprisingly, the source of the invented magic is the statue itself, which may be of some help in finding the Dionysian magic.
Ren Qing let the ghost shadow wrap around the statue of Yuanshi Tianzun, ready to exit Wuwei Taoist Temple at any time, and used his strength to lift the statue little by little.
The meeting hall shook. The sudden movement was too great.
Tian Daozi was talking to himself from far away, and his body hit the wall heavily. The cracks suddenly spread, and the water in the pool showed a tendency of pouring back.
Ren Qing was startled.
How dare he keep whining and whining, he lifted the statue and swallowed it directly into the prison in his belly, and then set his target on the Moral God.
The ghost moves the statue again.
I don't know why, even though the statue weighs up to a hundred kilograms, it consumes a lot of ghost figures, and the speed can't help but slow down.
When Daode Tianzun was imprisoned in his belly, Tian Daozi also came to the meeting hall.
The air was twisted, and the futon made of hay actually sprouted and grew black twisted plants, like human hands.
Not seen for a while, Tiandaozi couldn't see his human form at all. The surface of his body was constantly alienating and recovering, and he was obviously on the verge of losing control.
The ghostly shadow entangled the statue of Lingbao Tianzun and gradually lifted it with force.
Seeing this, Ren Qing gritted his teeth and did not intend to give up the opportunity to obtain it. Moreover, the fabricated technique was probably related to Zeren.
At worst, you'll lose some ghosts and split souls.
He tried to get close: "Master, have you forgotten, I am Huang Qi."
"Tao generates Tao, inaction Tao..."
"Wuwei Taoism has not been destroyed. Master, wake up."
Tiandaozi took a step forward and arrived in front of Ren Qing in the blink of an eye. The latter was unable to move and it was too late to exit the Wuwei Dojo.
The divided soul began to grow black hair, and the image gradually moved away from the black goat.
Ren Qing endured the severe pain, and before his soul was about to be destroyed, he asked out of nowhere: "Master, what exactly is there in Shuize?"
Tiandaozi was stunned for a moment and squeezed out two words between his teeth.
"There are immortals..."
Ren Qing took advantage of the demon's aura to retreat and evacuated Wuwei Dojo without hesitation.
The meeting hall collapsed into ruins.
The next chapter will be later, and the Mizusawa method will be officially revealed in the next chapter, which means that the preview of the plot is over.
