Chapter 743: Above the mundane world, not abandoned by gods
Xu Zhiqiong had a peach blossom look on his face and drank wine with his master calmly.
The master drank a cup of fragrant mash and asked: "How did you break the evil mirror stand?"
Xu Zhiqiong took out the piece of snake skin and told what happened.
The master looked at the snake skin and reached out to touch it.
The moment he touched the snake skin, his eyes shrank.
"Where did this come from?"
Xu Zhiqiong recounted his experience of going to the Underworld, dealing with Zhou Yanjun, and reestablishing order in the Underworld, but he did not mention the inkstone and stone eyes.
He didn't want to hide anything deliberately, but judging from his expression, the master was very worried about the situation of Qiancheng Kingdom.
If he takes out any more special items, Master may ask Xu Zhiqiong to leave Qiancheng Kingdom immediately.
As expected, the master ate a leg of lamb and said worriedly: "You should try not to go to Qiancheng Kingdom these days."
"These days refer to..."
Master made a rough estimate: "Thirty to fifty years, maybe longer."
We seem to have different understandings of the concept of life.
"Master, I have repaired the Department of Punishing Evil in Qiancheng Kingdom."
The master nodded: "I know this. You have made great achievements for the Taoist sect."
Xu Zhiqiong added: "I have also recruited more than a hundred disciples in Qiancheng Kingdom."
Master expressed his approval: "I also know about this. Master is very pleased that you have such courage."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Master asked me not to go to Qiancheng Kingdom for thirty to fifty years, and just leave the newly built Evil Punishment Department there to fend for itself?"
The master was silent for a long time, picked up the wine glass, and put it back again. He felt that the table was missing some flavor.
"Bring all the newly recruited disciples to Xuanguo. As for the Qiancheng Punishing Evil Department, leave a few people to take care of it first, and then start running it when the time is right."
Xu Zhiqiong is very familiar with this kind of words.
The so-called right time is the time that can never wait.
"You want me to abandon the Taoist sect of Qiancheng Kingdom just like that?" Xu Zhiqiong ate the mutton carelessly.
Master knew Xu Zhiqiong's temperament, and the more carelessly he looked at him, the less likely he was to let go.
He held the wine glass, sighed for a long time, and said to Xu Zhiqiong: "This is not something you can do alone. The land abandoned by the gods is a special place. You don't know what is hidden there. There are some things that even I can't pry into."
."
Xu Zhiqiong continued to eat the mutton: "Since I can't bear it, why doesn't Master find someone to help me?"
The master looked helpless: "I have thought about it and looked for it, but not everyone can help you. Ordinary people go to Qiancheng Kingdom just to die."
"Then find a few unusual ones." Xu Zhiqiong took a sip of wine.
The master shook his head and said: "How many unusual people are there in our Taoist sect? Shangguan Qing has just reached the third level, and he still needs to handle all the affairs of the Xuan Kingdom. Yue Yuanfeng is also the tomb chief of many countries in the south, and he has no way to escape for a while.
Yue Junshan is dead, Judge Tunu is still in chaos, and the Chief of Fanxiao Tomb also has many difficulties.
Over the years, the Taoist sect has declined, and I really can't find anyone who can help you. I wish I could go to Qiancheng Country to help you, but I can't go."
"Why can't you go? Because you can't care about mortal affairs?" Xu Zhiqiong picked up another leg of lamb, "You don't have to worry about mortal matters, I can just deal with them. If you encounter things outside the mortal world, you can help me."
.”
The master shook his head and said, "I really can't go. There are other reasons for this."
Xu Zhiqiong put down the leg of mutton and said: "Master, there are no judges in Qiancheng Kingdom, evil people die peacefully, and there is no one to pick up the sins on their heads. Will these sins go to the hands of the sinners?"
The master took a sip of wine and said, "Do you know who the guilty party is?"
"Disciple doesn't know."
The Taoist priest hesitated for a long time and said, "I can't tell you about this yet."
"It doesn't matter if you tell me or not," Xu Zhiqiong kept looking at the master, "but the sin karma has been taken away by the sinner. Who will take care of the Taoist sect's duties?"
The master was silent for a long time, but in the end he still said the same thing: "You cannot bear this matter alone."
Xu Zhiqiong drank down a glass of wine: "Even if I don't give up my duties as a Taoist sect, what about the laws of heaven?"
The master remained silent.
"Master, do you know how many thousands of people are living worse than Daxuan's animals?" Xu Zhiqiong drank another glass of wine, "If you don't even care about the laws of heaven, what else will the judge do?"
The Taoist Master was silent for a long time, and suddenly he gave a bitter smile: "What a stubborn thief Pi! I shouldn't waste my time with you. Have you made up your mind?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "It's decided."
The master looked at the snake skin in his hand, and his cheeks twitched.
Xu Zhiqiong really couldn't think of anything that could make Master Xingxiu care so much.
The master handed the snake skin to Xu Zhiqiong: "You must keep this thing carefully. In critical moments, it can save your life.
I'm worried that the owner of this snake skin is in Qiancheng Kingdom. If you meet him, ask him to leave as soon as possible, but don't offend him."
Snakeskin owner?
Could it be that the true God of Xuanwu can make Master so anxious?
Why is True God Xuanwu in Qiancheng Kingdom?
Why should he leave as soon as possible?
As his thoughts were whirling, the master said again: "You have the courage to take on the Taoist sect. I did not misjudge you, but I have three things to tell you. You must remember them.
The first thing is that I can’t go to Qiancheng Country. Not only can’t I go, but even one more look at it will bring disaster.”
"What's the reason for this?"
"Remember, no one in the mortal world can be abandoned by gods, especially judges. To put it bluntly, judges who are second-grade or above must not step into the Qiancheng Kingdom.
Cultivators from other Taoist sects who are above the ordinary world cannot easily enter the Qiancheng Kingdom if they do not have the blood of Qiancheng. The higher the rank, the more dangerous it is. If you are not careful, you will cause disasters that will never be recovered."
Is it impossible to enter the Qiancheng Kingdom in this mortal world?
Hong Juncheng has the body of a dragon, can he be considered above the mortal world?
Maybe he is just a mortal close to the second level.
"Li Shabai came to the Kingdom of Thousand Chengdus."
The master shook his head and said: "Li Shabai's cultivation level is equivalent to that of the second grade, but he has not yet left the mortal world."
"What's Hong Huaxiao's calculation?"
"Hong Huaxiao has the blood of Qiancheng. He is a special case. Therefore, I dare to ask him to help you."
Others have been here.
The constellation Canrou has come.
Xu Zhiqiong recalled carefully that Liang Yuyao was harmed by Hong Zhenkang's orifice-sealing technique. Afterwards, Li Shabai said that it was Canrou Xingxiu who saved her.
Canrou Xingxu has been here more than once, and she also taught Chang Decai a special tea art.
Just as Xu Zhiqiong was about to ask a question, he suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his forehead.
Master pressed Xu Zhiqiong's forehead with his palm, slowly calming down his pain.
"The Gongshu Ban told you some things that you shouldn't know. Your body cannot bear it, and you can't bear what the teacher has to say. Don't go into the reasons. Just remember what the teacher said."
What does master mean?
Is what he is about to say related to what Gongshuban said?
In other words, is what he wants to say related to chaos?
The master continued: "The second thing is that there is something that must not leave the Qiancheng Kingdom. The Yin Division and the Yang World overlap, so it is okay to send the thing to the Yin Division, but the judge's territory is in the Two Realms State. If..."
Before Master finished speaking, Xu Zhiqiong rolled his eyes in pain.
The master quickly pressed Xu Zhiqiong's forehead, frowned and said, "I can't tell you that thing. You will encounter it sooner or later. When the time comes, you have to find ways to keep it in Qiancheng Country.
The third thing is that you saved countless dead souls in Qiancheng Yinsi. This is a great act of kindness and a great achievement. You are about to be promoted. Try not to fight with others these days. It is really unavoidable. You must leave a note for yourself later.
road."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Disciple has noted it down."
The master added: "I wanted to give you something. My master's mask can enhance the power of imagery. Unfortunately, the mask was lost since I fell asleep last time."
"Master, if you search carefully, you may still be in the Xingxiu Corridor." Xu Zhiqiong subconsciously touched the mask on his waist.
Master kept looking at Xu Zhiqiong with very complicated eyes.
There is some expectation and some reluctance.
He poured Xu Zhiqiong a glass of wine: "Eat more, drink more, and practice more in the reflection room. Is there anything else you want to ask me?"
Xu Zhiqiong pointed at his face and said: "Master, I have a long history of punishing evildoers and I am a decent person. Isn't this peach blossom look a little inappropriate?"
The master sighed and said, "You can't wash it off. You're thinking about your mistakes. If you come here and think about it once, there will be one less peach blossom."
"How many times can I come in a day?"
"Once a day at most."
"Ten thousand days? Doesn't that take thirty years?"
"Is thirty years long?" Master smiled, "When you're full, I'll take a walk with you in the Star Corridor."
After the master and apprentice had eaten and drank enough, they walked out of the main hall and walked leisurely in the corridor.
After walking about a mile or so, the master waved his hand, and three words were left on a door - Ma Shangfeng.
"From now on, you can think about it here."
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the door: "What's special here?"
"You'll find out when you go."
"Then I'll try it now."
"No!" Master stopped Xu Zhiqiong, "I see that you are a little tired today. Wait until you have enough energy to come back again. Don't be greedy for too much at a time. If you persist for half an hour, you will be considered good at it."
Xu Zhiqiong lowered his eyes and said, "Master, if you put a bear in there, you must tell me in advance."
"Xiong..." Master thought of Xiong Shendao, and his face was a little worried.
"If you put a beautiful woman in there, you have to tell me in advance."
The master lowered his face and said, "Where do you think this is?"
Xu Zhiqiong's cheeks trembled: "If there is a beautiful man in there, tell him not to deceive me by pretending to be a beautiful woman."
The two of them walked along the corridor for a long time, but Xu Zhiqiong never saw the end of the corridor.
"Master, how long is this Star Corridor?"
The master thought for a moment, then laughed and said, "Master, I don't remember."
Can you still remember this?
"How many houses are there in Xingxiu Corridor? You should remember it, right?"
The master still shook his head: "I don't remember either."
Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise: "Then when will we reach the end?"
"How are we going to go like this?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
The master thought about it carefully: "If we walk for a hundred or so years, we can reach almost half of it, and maybe we can see the end."
Xu Zhiqiong blinked: "Master, you are joking again."
"Master is not joking," the master flexed his muscles, "Master is going to the Western Regions. You should be more careful. There are some papers on the desk in the main hall. If you encounter any difficulties, please leave a book for me."
