Chu Qianqiu rubbed his eyes specifically to check that he was not under an illusion spell.
A tiger with wings sits in a cave with a gentle attitude, its feet barely clasped together, and chants Amitabha Buddha with you.
Even though Chu Qianqiu was well-informed, he couldn't help but mutter a little at this time.
"The young monk is indeed a Buddha and a demon."
"Donor Chu seems to have seen the young monk before, otherwise how could he be so shocked?"
The tiger had a loving smile on its face, and it was indeed somewhat similar to the Buddha and Demon in his impression. Chu Qianqiu confirmed that it was indeed a Buddha and Demon.
[Master, it is very dangerous, don’t go near it. 】
The truth-sucking insect in Chu Qianqiu's body, the Golden Silkworm King, screamed out for the first time in a long time as if it had seen a natural enemy.
【Danger?】
The four insects said in unison:
【Master, it likes to eat bugs very much!】
【Don't go near it!】
A tiger with wings that likes to eat bugs.
Chu Qianqiu immediately remembered the record in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas":
Qiongqi looks like a tiger, has wings, and cannibalizes people from the beginning.
But in another document, Chu Qianqiu still remembered such a sentence.
Qiongqi, Tenggen eats Gu together.
It is an ancient ferocious beast and one of the auspicious beasts that can restrain all Gu insects.
It is one of the natural enemies of the millennium bug. In ancient times, it enjoyed eating poisonous insects, and eating people was just its seasoning.
"Benefactor Chu?"
Seeing that Chu Qianqiu was still thinking, Buddha and Demon couldn't help but ask more questions.
"Senior Buddha and Demon, is this Qiongqi?"
Chu Qianqiu did not directly answer the Buddha and Demon's question, but covered it up with a look of shock and asked at the same time.
"Not really."
The Buddha and Demon shook his head.
"Its bloodline has almost dried up. It can only be regarded as a collateral line of Qiongqi. The bloodline is not pure. It is the descendant of Qiongqi and Tiger."
"However, this Qiongqi has taken the elixir of death and is alive and immortal. It has an unlimited lifespan. If the young monk borrows its body, it will not harm other people's lives."
The elixir?
"Is there really an elixir in this world?"
Chu Qianqiu asked in surprise. He was no longer in a hurry even asking about Guixu. He was obviously more interested in the elixir.
"Of course there is."
Buddha Demon smiled and said.
"The Millennium Bug from the Hundred Gu Sect is the elixir of death."
"It's just that if ordinary people eat it, they will definitely die."
"Only Qiongqi can be eaten."
Chu Qianqiu suddenly realized that no wonder when he went to Beijing, he wanted to recycle a millennium bug, but felt a huge crisis.
"However, this Qiongqi's bloodline is not pure, so it has some side effects."
Buddha Demon has always had a good temper. He almost always answered whatever Chu Qianqiu asked, and even helped with supplementary explanations.
If his ideals weren't too great, Chu Qianqiu wouldn't mind being friends with him.
"What side effects?"
"After Qiongqi takes the millennium bug, he will first sleep for three hundred years, forgetting all memories and powers, and then start to grow again from a baby, grow up in three hundred years, become an adult in three hundred years, and finally shrink in one hundred years.
Become a baby, and the cycle repeats.”
"This is immortality."
"There was not just one millennium bug in ancient times."
"It's not like the masters of Zhenwu Sect and Maha Temple have never tried to fuse the Qiongqi bloodline and swallow the Millennium Bug."
"It's just that the effect is worse. Their life cycle is shortened to one cycle every thirty years."
Buddha Demon smiled and said, this old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, his grasp of historical truth is far beyond Chu Qianqiu's imagination.
"This Qiongqi has just woken up, unconscious and very murderous."
"The young monk will capture it and make a body first."
I see. It seems that the actions of the old emperors of the Xiao family to integrate the millennium bug are not unprecedented.
And there are quite a few successful cases.
The emperors of the Xiao family used the [Fairy Fetus] to cultivate their souls to avoid the disadvantages of the millennium bug and seek immortality.
After Chu Qianqiu got this information, he understood why the old emperors of the Xiao family were so confident. It turned out to be because in ancient times, the two major sects had already experimented with similar things.
"Okay, no more gossip."
"Benefactor Chu has reached the end of his career as a military minister."
"This time I came to see the young monk. He must want to know the secret of becoming a heavenly being."
"good."
"If senior Buddha and Demon have any needs, Chu will do his best to satisfy them."
Chu Qianqiu nodded and said, this Buddha and Demon has a body, it is still the body of an ancient ferocious beast, so you must be polite.
After all, its original body is still a powerful person in the late stage of heaven.
"Little monk, there is nothing the donor needs to do."
"Qiu Mo also told the young monk that what the donor did was indeed a truly compassionate heart."
"If the young monk could meet the donor in the past, he would definitely teach the donor how to become a heavenly being."
"Namo Amitabha."
Buddha Demon said politely, just like when he met Chu Qianqiu that day.
"If you want to become a heavenly being, you must arrive at Guixu."
"Do you know where Guixu is?"
"Please give me some advice, senior."
"Guixu is at your feet." The Buddha smiled and patted the ground with his tiger claws, leaving Chu Qianqiu a little puzzled.
"Underfoot?"
Chu Qianqiu was really surprised this time.
"As early as in ancient times, warriors explored the starry sky and the earth at the same time."
"They dug down, I don't know how deep they dug, hoping to find the end of the world and see with their own eyes what the underworld looks like."
"But we didn't find the underworld. Instead, we found the hottest magma."
"Perhaps the Taoist saying that the Yin pole generates Yang is just such a principle."
The Buddha and the Demon explained the secrets of ancient times very calmly.
"The environment there is extremely harsh. Even warriors who practice the "Indestructible Magic Art" cannot survive deep underground for a long time."
"But the warriors can take turns digging, maybe a hundred thousand steps, maybe a million steps, and eventually they dig out a terrifying entrance."
"The depth of that entrance is called Guixu."
"It's just that many sects have lost their heavenly beings and can't even maintain passages. They just remember the Xumi insects."
I see.
No wonder all the major sects like to dig underground, and no wonder Taizu Xiao appears in the basement of Jiulong Mountain.
Because there was once an entrance opened by Xiao Taizu.
Chu Qianqiu suddenly realized that if he wanted to go back to the ruins, he only had to go to Jiulong Mountain?
"But Guixu is extremely dangerous, and the excavated channels often heal themselves, making it very difficult to maintain."
"Fortunately, the warriors discovered a mysterious insect there, which was later called the Sumeru insect."
"It became possible to explore Guixu for such a long time."
"But if you want to donate to Guixu, you must remember that most of the people who return to Ruixu are destined to die."
"You can't come back if you go."
"Many heavenly beings accidentally failed to teleport and died there directly."
