Yang Ji turned around, blinked, and finally showed an interested look:
"Then how do you get to the underworld?"
"It's very simple...you know the evil way, the earthly boat of people in the devil way, right?"
Gatekeeper said.
"Earth boat?"
Yang Ji was slightly surprised. He knew this. Zhao Hua once mentioned that this was an evil way, a kind of evil way, a magic weapon refined by people in the evil way using the Yinxie method.
"I know, what's wrong?"
Yang Ji answered quickly.
"It's good to know. With your current strength, this magical weapon is the best tool for you to go to the underworld. All you need to do is find a few evil people, steal the land boat from them, and then find a way to go to the underworld.
The underworld, of course, requires luck. After all, not all underworld can lead to the underworld."
"... After that, enter the underworld, just find a few pieces of obsidian on the spot and give it to me. The whole process will not take you too much time. If you are lucky, you can pick up the obsidian at the entrance and it will take you just one breath.
Then you can leave.”
The gatekeeper came slowly and calmly.
Yang Ji finally nodded:
"If I encounter those evil disciples, I will. But now, I have no plans to go down the mountain in the short term."
The whereabouts of evil disciples are secretive, and due to the pursuit by the court and sects, they also try their best to hide their identities. It is not easy to find them. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "looking for a needle in a haystack".
Moreover, time is tight, and there is still at most half a year before the "Xiucai Examination" of the martial arts examination is held. Before that, Yang Ji just wants to improve his strength as soon as possible. This is the most important thing.
"...It's a pity that the Vitality Grass can only be released once."
Yang Ji thought with regret.
"Hey, if you are really serious, you don't have to go to so much trouble. There are two suitable targets near the Iron Crown Sect."
The gatekeeper suddenly smiled slyly.
"ah?!"
Yang Ji was shocked. His first reaction was:
"Impossible? How could they be so bold in the powerhouse of the sect?"
"Hey, why is it impossible? Three months ago, I felt them appearing nearby. During this period, they appeared and disappeared, and now they have disappeared. It is estimated that what they wanted to do has not been completed. After a while
.You still have to show up..."
Gatekeeper said.
"This matter should be reported to the elders in the sect as soon as possible!"
Yang Ji said in a deep voice.
The evil disciples appeared near the sect, posing a threat to all nearby disciples. Yang Ji's first reaction was to inform Elder Qiu and Elder Xing in the sect.
The temperature dropped sharply, and the gatekeeper suddenly stopped and stared at Yang Ji coldly without saying a word.
Yang Ji was slightly startled, then felt something and fell silent quickly.
"I promised to guard the Scripture Cave for the Tieguan Sect, but I have no obligation to inform them of such a thing."
The gatekeeper said coldly. His tone was much colder than before:
"I said, this is a deal. Obsidian is exchanged for vitality grass. If you agree, you can do it. If you don't agree, you can leave now."
The gatekeeper indifferently stretched out a finger and pointed straight down the mountain, his tone was quite distant.
The surroundings were quiet, and an indescribable strange feeling emerged from his heart. Yang Ji had felt that there was something strange about the "gatekeeper" before, but now he felt even stranger.
No strong man would be dressed like him. No gatekeeper of any sect would be chained through his bones and tied to the cave wall.
The "gatekeeper" of a sect should be a member of the sect. However, he clearly sensed the danger of evil disciples appearing near the mountain gate, but did not notify the sect at all.
Moreover, Yang Ji clearly noticed that when he mentioned this matter, he used "them". It was obvious that he was isolating himself.
"Isn't he from our Iron Crown sect at all?"
The strange feeling in Yang Ji's heart was so strong that it was beyond words. If the gatekeeper was not from the Iron Crown Sect, then why would an outsider like him be assigned to guard such an important place as the Buddhist Scripture Cave?
"Senior, I didn't say I didn't agree, right?"
Yang Ji raised his head and said.
"very good."
The gatekeeper put away his fingers and finally showed a smile: "Then we can continue chatting. Before going down the mountain, you can ask me anything you want to ask."
"Just one last question, why choose me?"
Yang Jidao.
He is not confused. If it is true as he said, there are many disciples like him on Tieguan Mountain. Those "senior brothers" and "senior sisters" can definitely do it. There is no need to choose yourself.
"When things are abnormal, there must be monsters." Yang Ji must understand the truth.
"Hey, little doll, you really still want to know."
The gatekeeper looked as expected:
"I'm just telling you how to get obsidian. I didn't say that you will definitely be able to do it. In the world, only the most cloudy and turbid places can produce underworld. And among all these underworld, only one thousandth of it is not possible.
The arrival is the same as the underworld."
"Even if you get the Earth Boat, you may not be able to enter the underworld. So... when you actually get the obsidian, then ask me why I chose you. - There are some things, although I know
There is little hope, but I still want to give it a try.”
The gatekeeper sighed deeply as he spoke, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance with a sense of sadness.
Yang Ji was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly. After a long time, Dare's lover just cast a wide net.
"I see."
Yang Ji took a deep breath: "Senior, I'll take my leave now. When those evil disciples show up, senior will notify me."
Yang Ji said, turned around and strode down the top of the mountain.
…………
In the following period, Yang Ji completely cut off all activities and stayed in the palace, studying the "Incarnation Outside the Body", "Dian Mu Sword Technique", "Ba Xia Tian Fu Fist" and the
"Floating Body Technique".
"External Incarnation" is a secret skill of the sixth level of martial arts, and Yang Ji is not able to practice it yet. However, it is still possible to figure out the principles and confirm it with "Five Ghosts Transporting **".
As for "Dian Mu Sword Technique" and "Baxia Futian Fist", it is actually easier. Yang Ji has already understood the original "Classic Painting" of the two secret arts. There is no problem when practicing.
On the contrary, the "Floating Light Body Technique", although it only reaches the fourth level of martial arts, the Blood Furnace Realm, is far from simple to practice, and is even more difficult than the "External Incarnation Technique".
Yang Ji finally understood why, although the "Floating Light Body Technique" was only a fourth-level secret skill, there were very few people who had successfully practiced it in the Iron Crown Sect, and he had never seen it at all.
Time passed day by day in practice, and Yang Ji completely forgot about everything in the outside world. There was nothing else but practice.
…
"call!"
I don’t know how long it took. It seemed like overnight, a chill was felt everywhere. Although Tieguan Mountain was deep in the mountains and blocked by mountains, the chill that penetrated deeply into the heart and spleen was still everywhere.
At a glance, the sky is dim, even the grass and trees on the mountain have drooping needles, and there is a sense of coldness everywhere.
"It's 'Xiaohan' so soon! Time flies so fast!"
Yang Ji looked through the window at the mountains in the distance. He was filled with emotion.
"Little Cold" is one of the last solar terms of the year. At this time, the whole world will feel a real chill, which is a sign of snow.
After another "big cold", with freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall, the Lunar New Year will be celebrated, and a year will pass like this.
"It's so fast!..."
Yang Ji sighed again.
Time flies. I remember this time a year ago. I went into the mountains alone. In the mountains, I first met Lu Ling. Then I met Xiao Ji, and my destiny changed from then on.
Thinking of "Xiao Ji", Yang Ji couldn't help but look down at his sleeve. He could clearly feel that "Xiao Ji" was as cold as cold iron, wrapping around his wrist in circles.
"Xiaoji" is the king of snakes, and the impact of the weather is far less serious. However, snakes are cold-blooded animals after all, and they still don't like cold by nature.
In this kind of weather, "Xiaoji" doesn't like to move much.
Yang Ji gently touched Xiao Ji through his sleeve and smiled. Then he took out a brush from the pen holder next to him, dipped it in, and started to spread ink on the "Book of Great Confucianism" spread out in front of him.
, write a line of words like dragons and phoenixes dancing:
“The leaves of the old zhejiang are as yellow as young trees, and the branches of cold cherry blossoms are as white as wild flowers.”
"When the twelfth lunar month comes, the flowers will bloom, and I will sit and watch the mountains covered with green pines and snow."
…………
The poem is just a very ordinary poem that describes the situation, but as Yang Ji's writing moves, bits and pieces of literary spirit emerge, and slowly penetrate into "The Book of Great Confucianism".
Although he couldn't see it, Yang Ji could feel it. As these traces of literary spirit seeped in, the "Book of Confucianism" in front of him had undergone some different changes.
"Haha, my cultivation is still not enough. I can only produce this level of poetry."
Yang Ji picked up his pen and looked at the words on "The Book of Great Confucianism" and smiled. It was the first time he picked up his pen and he could only write poems of this level.
In the literary and Taoist career, the biggest difference between a scholar and a child is that he can write poems. Yang Ji's cultivation is not enough, so he just practices, and his writing is very young.
Since the "Little Holy Word Technique" was used up in the Sutra Cave last time, there is no more Wenqi in "The Book of Great Confucianism". If Director Yang wants to use it again, he can only use Wenqi concentration.
So these days, in addition to practicing time, Yang Ji comes up in the morning to read and write. He writes "Enlightenment", "Young Learning", "Zhizhang", "Asking Rituals", "Zhizhang" in "The Book of Great Confucianism".
"Yi" are must-read articles for children in the literary sage era.
By concentrating on writing sage scriptures, "The Book of Great Confucianism" is supplemented with literary style.
"laugh!"
Yang Ji reached out and touched the "Book of Great Confucianism", and the original lines of text immediately disappeared and became blank again.
This is a unique feature of "The Book of Great Confucianism". No matter how many words are written, as long as you reach out and touch it, the words above disappear, as if they were sucked into the book.
Yang Ji flipped the book to the page of "Enlightenment", and then took a closer look. (To be continued...)
