The big clock whispered: "Ah Ying, you are so polite for nothing, you are either a traitor or a thief. This old guy is in the same group as the sad old man who fed you Meng Po soup, and when we were in the Second God City, we also saw him and the sad old man.
Old men hang out together..."
With a smile on his face, Xu Ying's voice came out from between his teeth: "Don't scare the snake, let's see what he wants to do first."
Da Zhong understood and quickly ordered Qi, who also woke up and did not expose the old man in white.
Xu Ying bowed to the old man in white and said politely:
"This is the second time I saw the old gentleman. I haven't even had time to ask him his name."
The old man in white clothes smiled and said: "My surname is Bei Chen. People who know me call me Beichenzi."
He looked at Zhu Chanchan, his index finger moved greatly, and he was surprised and thought: "This girl smells so good. How did she cultivate herself into such a delicious look? It's really rare!"
Xu Ying humbly asked for advice: "Does the old gentleman know the origin of this imperial hill?"
Beichenzi stabilized his Taoist mind, swayed his white beard, and said with a smile: "I have also heard about Emperor Qiu. It is said that this place is the tomb of the ancient Emperor Zhuan Xiang. The city of Diqiu is where the tomb-keepers live.
, and over time a stone city was built. As for why Emperor Qiu disappeared, I don’t know.”
They quickly arrived at the other end of the stone city. The stone city had just spit out the mist outside the city. When Xu Ying came outside the city, he saw an abyss beneath his feet. There was no bottom. He walked too fast just now and almost slipped.
Hit the shortfall and fall down.
Everyone stopped and looked across, but saw that the fog had blocked the other side of the abyss, making it difficult to see what was there.
Suddenly, there were dull roars coming from the abyss. Xu Ying vaguely saw something emerging from the abyss, waving countless thick tentacles, trying to crawl out!
Even if he moved his heavenly eye, he couldn't see clearly.
At this moment, the crisp sound of whips came, and a long whip flew out of the mist, hitting the huge thing in the abyss with a snap.
The whip was very slender when it was swung out, but after it was swung out, it expanded, became thicker and longer, like a dragon or a python, its muscles were tangled, and it was drawn into the abyss, and it was unknown how long it was!
The behemoth in the abyss was beaten by this whip and roared like thunder, which was astonishingly dull. Suddenly a thick tentacle flipped over, and a majestic mountain was released from the abyss and landed on the other side!
This scene was so shocking that even Zhu Chanchan was shocked.
Xu Ying was shocked. The scene of mountains and rivers flying out of the abyss was scary, but what shocked him even more was the whip!
He recognized this kind of whip. He once had one, the whip that the young girl in the coffin gave him to whip the god of plague!
These two whips are almost the same!
Xu Ying asked: "Chanchan, can you see things in the abyss?"
Zhuchanchan said: "You can see it with your heavenly eyes. But I have never seen the ghosts in the abyss. It's really weird."
Xu Ying looked at Bei Chenzi and asked, "Does the old gentleman know what is in the abyss?"
Beichenzi was also surprised, and he looked down and said, "I don't know. In the years when I was born, there was already such a thing. Back then, we called those who held whips the abyss watchers. They lived in seclusion in the mist of the abyss. If
If monsters from the abyss crawl out, they will pull those monsters back." 2
He paused and said: "Back then, many people planned to explore the abyss, but when they jumped into it, they became dizzy and could never come back. The abyss is extremely scary."
Xu Ying looked to the other side, but the fog had not dissipated. The fog was very strange. Even the eyes of heaven could not see through it. He did not know what the person holding the whip looked like.
The Abyss Watcher was still whipping into the abyss, causing the abyss to roar continuously.
After a while, the things in the abyss shrank back, and the whip also shrank back into the clouds and disappeared.
Xu Ying was confused. The young girl in the coffin also had the same whip. Does that mean she was the same kind as the Abyss Watcher? Or was it the whip she snatched from the Abyss Watcher?
"This stone city should also be released from the abyss."
Xu Ying suddenly thought of the Cangwu Abyss and thought to himself, "Cangwu Abyss and this abyss, can't they be the same abyss? What are the backgrounds of those abyss monitors?"
In the evening, Xu Ying and Zhu Chanchan worked together to wash and peel off the beast king god. Zhu Chanchan said, "I'll go find a pot!"
"No need!" The big bell flew up, getting bigger and bigger, with its mouth pointing upwards.
Xu Ying filled the bell with water, put the King of Beasts into the bell, and then walked into Qiyu, took out salt and various seasonings, and sprinkled them into the bell.
Seven breathed out a celestial fire and placed it under the bell to heat the pot.
Zhuchanchan and Beichenzi were stunned. As for the big clock, they had long been accustomed to it.
Beside the sky fire, Xu Ying flipped through the two pages of gold paper that Yuan Weiyang gave him, and waited quietly for the meat to be cooked. The contents on the gold paper were the location of the dragon hunt in Huang Ting's secret treasure, and the Yuan family's untransmitted secret Yuan Dao.
's opening chapter.
For him, he does not need to obtain the complete skills of Yuandao heavens, he only needs to obtain the methods that operate in the cave.
"I wonder if Taiyi Daoyin Gong can mobilize the three secret treasures of Niwan, Jianggong and Huangting at the same time?"
Xu Ying held his breath and concentrated, and used the dragon-seeking positioning technique to search for the location of his Huang Ting. The heavens of Yuandao said that the secret of Huang Ting is hidden in the spleen, which is the chamber of the soul and the source of consciousness.
He opened the secret treasure of Huangting, and saw that the secret cave was shaped like a tile cauldron, and he penetrated into the black and yellow air. Suddenly, his consciousness increased greatly, and he vaguely saw a golden hall carried in the black and yellow air.
, extremely eye-catching!
Just as he was about to take a closer look, he saw a surge of black and yellow energy, blocking his field of vision and preventing him from seeing clearly.
"There is also a piece of the other shore in Huang Ting's secret treasure! It seems that the six secrets of the human body probably really correspond to the six other shores, and that is the door to immortality!" Xu Ying thought to himself.
He had an agreement with Yuan Weiyang to see who could refine the elixir from the other side of Huangting first, so he did not rush to practice Yuandao Heavenly Sensation, but concentrated on thinking, looking for flaws in this technique, and trying to make up for it.
It's just that the opening chapter of "The Sensation of the Heavens of Yuandao" is extremely obscure and difficult to understand, and Xu Ying was unable to find out where the flaw was hidden for a while.
The smell of meat gradually came from the bell. Qi Zhuchanchan was so greedy that her index finger moved. Xu Ying was also awakened by the smell of meat. He tasted it and said, "You can eat it."
One person and one snake cheered, picked up the meat and ate it.
Zhuchanchan stuffed her mouth until it was full and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious. I haven't eaten in more than six thousand years!"
Hearing this, Beichenzi was surprised and confused: "More than six thousand years? Is she older than me?"
Xu Ying invited Bei Chenzi to dinner, and Bei Chenzi was not polite and sat down to eat. The beast king god made himself extremely delicious, especially where the skin connected to the meat, it was not greasy at all. After one bite, his lips and teeth were filled with fragrance, and he could not express his feelings.
of satisfaction.
They are all Qi refiners, so if they eat freely, the meat of the Beast King will quickly turn into vitality in their stomachs, which is extremely nourishing. And with Qi as a giant, the entire Beast King God will be eaten up quickly by them.
After Xu Ying fought in the city of Shendu, his vitality and cultivation had not recovered. After dinner, his strength returned to its peak.
Everyone was looking for a place to stay in the city. There was a palace in the city called Shensi Palace. It was quite spacious. There were beds and quilts inside. Qi Tuan slept between several pillars. Xu Ying chose to sleep on the bed, and Zhu Chanchan slept in another.
one room.
Beichenzi also found a room to stay, but he sat at the table, laid out the chess game, and never slept.
There was moonlight outside the window, shining on the old man in white. Beichenzi's face was uncertain. Suddenly he looked out the window on a whim and saw someone opening an altar to practice Buddhism on a hill outside Shicheng. The candlelight went straight into the sky.
The man had great magical power, and the caves and sky behind him were rotating, making them look extremely gorgeous in the moonlit night.
On the top of the mountain, there are stall masters of various sizes, about a hundred or so, who are also blooming in their own caves, raising their cultivation to the extreme!
Under the altar, there are still hundreds of gods standing. Each one has a strong aroma of incense and powerful magic. They bow to the altar and worship. In the center of the altar, there is a bow and seven arrows.
"The Book of Nailhead and Seven Arrows?"
Bei Chenzi was shocked, the chess piece in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and he whispered, "These masters are amazing, they can actually find such a strange skill!"
The Book of Seven Arrows on the Nail Head is a spell used by ancient Qi alchemists, specifically designed to harm people's souls. It was lost in Beichenzi's time.
Unexpectedly, today, when the Qi Refiners are extinct, these masters can still find this kind of magic and restore it!
"It seems that he is the stall master of the royal family of Shendu. The Li family of the royal family dug the graves of many Qi practitioners, right? Otherwise, how could it be possible to restore such a vicious technique?"
Beichenzi activated his heavenly eyes and saw clearly the people on the hilltop outside the city. He thought to himself, "It should be a master sent by the emperor to take Xu Ying's life with the nail-head Seven Arrows Book!"
He couldn't help but get excited. He had heard about the vicious reputation of the Seven Arrows Book for a long time. Such fierce ancient spells could even kill gods!
"If the stall master of the royal family Li can really kill this scourge, then I will be free!"
Bei Chenzi couldn't help the joy in his heart. He wished he could dance around the room and sing a song, "If you shoot him to death, do you need any demon-suppressing runes?"
After the masters and the gods finished practicing, the master with the highest level of cultivation respectfully took off his long bow, put the arrow feathers on the bowstring, and bent the bow with all his strength!
Other stall masters and gods made sacrifices one after another, murmuring words, and streams of incense wrapped around the arrow feathers.
The Li family's big stall made a hissing sound, bowed and fired, and the arrow feathers turned into a stream of light and went straight to Xu Ying's room!
Li's Dadan bent his bow continuously and shot out seven arrow feathers. When the first stream of light shot into Xu Ying's body, the other six arrow lights also came to Xu Ying's room, and there was no way for him to avoid it!
Bei Chenzi was so excited that his hands and feet were trembling, and he murmured in a trembling voice: "It is said that the Seven Arrows book kills invisible people. The opponent will not feel anything when he is hit by the arrow, and his soul will be shot to death. When these seven arrows go down, one arrow will kill him."
The seven arrows are the seven souls, I want him to die as hard as he can!"
As soon as he thought of this, he saw that after shooting seven arrows, the man from Li's Dadan on the hill opposite suddenly shook his body, spurted blood from his mouth, and fell to the ground on his back.
Beichenzi saw clearly with his clairvoyance that for some unknown reason, the souls of that large crowd suddenly exploded and died unexpectedly!
Beichenzi was dumbfounded, and saw a group of stall masters and gods on the opposite mountain, hurriedly picking up the big corpse, packing it up and leaving in a hurry.
"Not even the Seven Arrows book can kill him..."
Bei Chenzi was unwilling to give up, and looked into Xu Ying's room with his heavenly eyes. He saw that the soul in Xu Ying's room was brilliant and radiant, and he was wrapped in the immortal true spirit and emitted the immortal light.
Come to think of it, the nail-head Seven Arrows book was shot at the immortal spiritual light and bounced back, killing the Li family leader instead.
"That's all, let's wait for the demon-suppressing rune." Beichenzi sighed.
At midnight, the suddenly empty Diqiu Stone City was crowded with pedestrians everywhere, bustling and coming and going.
The waiter at the bun shop opened the steamer and deliberately fanned the white mist into the street to lure diners. In the wine shop, several drunken customers were fighting, and in the teahouse, idlers drank tea and smiled at the beautiful girls on the road.
There are also sellers carrying straw poles, surrounded by children, clamoring to buy a windmill.
Xu Ying opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the fragrant breeze blowing in. A woman opened the bead curtain and came to the bed. She took off her clothes and lay down on the bed. She said with a smile: "I'm sleepy, let's rest for a while..."
Who are you?"
The woman screamed, stood up hurriedly, hugged her clothes to her chest, and looked at Xu Ying in horror.
Xu Ying said quickly: "Girl, don't scream! I'm not a bad person! I walked for a day and was tired. When I saw no one here, I lay down to rest and planned to leave at dawn. I didn't mean to insult the girl!"
Clothes!" the woman said, "turn your back and wait for me to put on my clothes.
Xu Ying turned his back and heard the sound of getting dressed. The woman said, "I'm done dressing. Just turn around."
Xu Ying turned around and saw a gleaming sword on his shoulder. The woman's almond-shaped eyes widened and she said angrily: "What a scumbag, you bullied me! I want your blood to be splashed on the spot today!"
Xu Ying said quickly: "Girl, I really didn't mean to come here. I didn't mean to be frivolous. Besides, I am a cultivator. You can't hurt me..."
When he just said this, he felt a chill in his heart, and the vitality in his body disappeared without a trace!
The woman moved the sword in her hand and shouted: "What's your name? So that I can know which romantic ghost died under my sword, Feng Xueer!"
Xu Ying realized that he had lost all his cultivation, and secretly said, "Girl, my name is Xu Ying."
"Promise?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly her pretty face turned red, she dropped her sword, turned around and ran away.
Xu Ying was startled, then suddenly realized, he stood up quickly and was about to slip out. At this moment, a woman and several maids came outside with the shy girl. The woman smiled from a distance and said, "It turns out it's my uncle."
He came without any notice! Who arranged my uncle to live in this boudoir?"
Xu Ying was stunned and at a loss, and quickly said: "When will I
…”
The young girl was shy and timid, rolled her eyes at him, and whispered, there were about a hundred or ten people, each of them also blooming in the cave, raising their cultivation to the extreme!
Under the altar, there are still hundreds of gods standing. Each one has a strong aroma of incense and powerful magic. They bow to the altar and worship. In the center of the altar, there is a bow and seven arrows.

When he just said this, he felt a chill in his heart, and the vitality in his body disappeared without a trace!
The woman moved the sword in her hand and shouted: "What's your name? So that I can know which romantic ghost died under my sword, Feng Xueer!"
Xu Ying realized that he had lost all his cultivation, and secretly said, "Girl, my name is Xu Ying."
"Promise?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly her pretty face turned red, she dropped her sword, turned around and ran away.
Xu Ying was startled, then suddenly realized, he stood up quickly and was about to slip out. At this moment, a woman and several maids came outside with the shy girl. The woman smiled from a distance and said, "It turns out it's my uncle."
He came without any notice! Who arranged my uncle to live in this boudoir?"
Xu Ying was stunned and at a loss, and quickly said: "When will I
…”
The young girl was shy and timid, rolled her eyes at him, and whispered: "I thought he was a scoundrel, and I almost hurt him...
…”
The woman said sternly: "Although it is a marriage that has been arranged long ago, my girl has not married yet, so there is no reason to break into the boudoir. Since my uncle is here, it is better to have the marriage at my Feng family, so as not to
Others gossip."
"Master Zhong! Master Zhong!"
Xu Ying hurriedly called out, but there was no sound from the big bell. Xu Ying
He called Qi again, but Qi didn't respond.
Xu Ying panicked and whispered: "It's a dream! It's an illusion! Just wake up later!"
He thought it was a dream and settled down without resisting.
The wedding was a hasty one, but it was wonderful. On the night of the wedding, all the guests had left and the fun was far away. Xu Ying sat by the bed, feeling his heart pounding, telling himself that this was a dream, not real.
But my heart still couldn't stop beating wildly.
The young girl Feng Xueer lifted up a corner of her hijab and said with a smile: "You dare to break into someone else's boudoir and lie on someone else's bed, but you don't dare to take off someone else's hijab?"
Xu Ying mustered up the courage to step forward and remove the girl's hijab, blushing and not daring to look at her.
Feng Xueer leaned in his arms, feeling her body softening, and smiled: "Somehow, when I saw you, my heart beat so hard. I felt as if I had known you for a long time..."
She raised her head, her eyes were like stars, and Xu Ying saw a familiar light in her eyes.
He had seen this kind of starlight in Yuan Rushi's eyes.
She kissed him and it was a familiar smell.
The night blew over the beaded curtains, and I felt that the spring night was too short.
The next day, Xu Ying thought it was a dream and silently called the big clock in his heart, but never got a response. This dream was very long, so Feng Xueer got up and went to meet his parents with him.
On this day, I suddenly became happy. It was a happiness that the young snake catcher had never dared to imagine before.
After a few months, he gradually forgot about the number seven, the big clock, and the Bamboo Chanchan. He felt that that was his dream, and he could not live in a dream.
The happiness he felt now was real. He especially cherished the days he spent with Feng Xueer.
On this day, Feng Xueer told him that several great magicians came to Diqiu. Under the orders of Emperor Wu, they came to Diqiu to do telepathy. Tianshi telepathy is a way of practice proposed by a Qi practitioner named Dong to communicate with the gods of heaven and earth.
.
Xu Ying didn't take it to heart at first. The communication between heaven and man held by the great mages was very long, communicating with the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. Gradually, the celestial phenomena underwent extremely terrifying changes. The heaven and earth were tilting, and the people in the city were very worried.
But fortunately nothing happened.
On this day, Xu Ying woke up from his sleep, and suddenly there was nothing around him. He had an ominous premonition in his heart. When he walked out of the room, Feng Mansion was empty, with no one there.
He staggered out of Feng's Mansion. The street was empty and there was no one there. The steamers on the street were steaming, the tea in the tea shop was still warm, and the aroma of braised beef was exuding.
However, there was no one in Diqiu.
Everyone has disappeared.
He became panicked and looked for his wife and the great mage, but he couldn't find anything.
"Where have you been?" His voice was hoarse, looking around like a madman.
"Where are the people?"
"Snow!"
He seemed to have lost everything, crying loudly, with tears streaming down his face, and walked alone on the deserted street.
On this day, he lost everything. He cried heartbreakingly like a wounded wolf.
God gave him the best, but then took it away.
If he hadn't given it, he wouldn't be so sad.
In the tea shop, a frowning old man appeared with a cup of hot tea on the table.
"Drink this cup of tea, and you will forget everything that happened here, and you will have a new life." The sad-looking old man said to him.
Xu Ying lost all hope and staggered towards the cup of tea.
…
"Ah Ying! Ah Ying!" The bell rang, and the sound of the big bell seemed to come from a far away place, getting closer and closer.
Xu Ying suddenly woke up and saw that he had arrived at the street of Diqiu City at some point. He was standing in a tea shop as if in a dream, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.
Xu Ying hurriedly put down the tea cup and touched his face, which was full of tears.
"Ah Ying, you are sleepwalking!" Qizheng said.
"Am I sleepwalking?" Xu Ying said in despair.
Zhuchanchan said: "Yes, you were sleepwalking and yelling. You seemed to have lost everything all at once and cried so miserably. You are always looking for someone in your dreams."
"Is it?"
Xu Ying calmed down and looked down at the cup of tea on the table.
Is the dream real?
Or is it just a real dream?
"If so, this is a cup of Meng Po soup."
He picked up the cup of tea from three thousand years ago and drank it in one gulp. It had a familiar taste.
