Zhou Mengyao was somewhat fortunate to have reconciled with Qi Xuansu. This problem cannot be solved by one person. If the two of them fall out, no one will be able to leave.
Qi Xuansu didn't have Zhou Mengyao's insight and couldn't see through the secrets of this world, so he would be like a headless fly, unable to find the right path. Zhou Mengyao had the insight of an immortal and knew how to leave, but she came
After the Governor's Mansion in the underworld, he could only face the ruins of the land and fell into despair.
From this point of view, it makes sense for Taoism to emphasize unity and advocate working together for a win-win situation.
The thirty-three-story upside-down tower hangs upside down below the Cangyun Castle in the underworld. Naturally, its gate is also upside down, with the lintel at the bottom and the threshold at the top.
Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao walked into the tower from the base.
Everything in the tower is upside down, so the two of them are walking on the ceiling, with the ground above their heads.
The surrounding walls are covered with strange star maps, which are also upside down. But even if you look at them upside down, they can only be said to be specious compared to the traditional star maps of Taoism, and many details are very different.
Naturally, the stairs are also upside down. It would be too difficult to climb the stairs in this way. However, the two of them put all their magical power into the "Guizang Lamp" and could not fly. Fortunately, they were going to the bottom.
On the 33rd floor, it's not impossible to jump directly from the stairs instead of climbing up.
The two looked at each other and said, "Let's dance."
Thinking about it this way, the thirty-three-story tower is essentially thirty-three steps. They jumped all the way to the top of the tower just like children jumping up the steps.
There is nothing else inside the building, it is just a tower.
The only difference is the star map on each floor. Because it is reversed and upside down, it feels like you are heading to the unknown depths of the boundless, mysterious and vast world, giving you a feeling of infinite insignificance.
When you are in it, what are the little pseudo-immortals? Immortals seem to be nothing. Only behemoths like the Second Tribulation Immortal and the Three Tribulations Immortal can freely swim in it. Only supreme beings such as Taishang Daozu and the Supreme Will can
Call it dominance.
Just when Qi Xuansu was gradually immersed in it, Zhou Mengyao suddenly took action and patted him: "You can't speak, you can't see, you can't hear."
Qi Xuansu was startled, then collected his mind and stopped looking at those weird star maps.
After all, there is a high probability that these star charts are related to the demons from outside the territory. Careful study of these star charts may not lead to any profound knowledge. On the contrary, it is possible to become obsessed and be taken advantage of by the demons.
To put it bluntly, they are not going deep into a certain ruins for research, let alone exploring history, but they are going on an adventure after the disaster. Saving their lives is the key.
On the thirty-third floor, even if you jump, it will take a long time.

Zhou Mengyao might be a little bored, or maybe he was not at peace with himself, so he even started chatting with Qi Xuansu: "Tianyuan, I heard that you adopted an adopted daughter?"
Qi Xuansu was somewhat alert: "There is such a thing."
"What's the child's name?"
"Qi Xiaoyin."
"It's good to have the same surname. Let's start from my side. I once thought your child would be named Zhang."
"Traditionally speaking, the children of the adopted son-in-law have the surname of the in-laws. Obviously, I am not the adopted son-in-law."
"I would like to remind you that Taoist law clearly stipulates that female Taoist priests also have the right to bear surnames. If you make such a statement, you are suspected of discriminating against female Taoist priests. Be careful of being warned by the Female Taoist Joint Mutual Aid Association."
"Then let me put it another way. If that's the case, why are the descendants of the Zhang family surnamed Zhang? How come the descendants of the Li family are all surnamed Li? There are also royal families such as the Yao family, the Qin family, etc., from Yujing to Imperial Capital, from Xinxijing to
St. York, from the Holy See to Londinium, so many aristocratic families still cling to the old tradition? Because this is not a question of surname or equality, but a question of inheritance of rights and wealth. To put it bluntly, just take
For example, the Zhang family cannot inherit the position of Heavenly Master unless they have the surname of Zhang. If they take the surname of the Yue family, they are the Yue family. This is not a matter of two people, it is a matter of two families. I would like to inherit the Zhang family, Zhang
The family has to be happy, and a son-in-law gives up these inheritance rights, so I have never been a member of the Zhang family."
"You are from the Qi family, and I support you."
"Sanniang, don't try to take advantage of me. You are you and Qi Haoran is Qi Haoran. Are you and Qiniang a couple?" Qi Xuansu became increasingly alert.
This conversation finally ended with Zhou Mengyao snorting.
It was originally meant to be funny, but Zhou Mengyao started with the child's surname and asked questions knowingly, and he did have a little idea of taking advantage.
You are not the Zhang family, but the Qi family. Where does the word "Qi" come from?
It came from Qi Haoran.
Who is Qi Haoran?
She is Zhou Mengyao.
Qiniang only occupied the mother's position, and the father's position has always been vacant. As for Donghua Zhenren, the master and father are not exactly the same. After all, it involves family issues. Qi Xuansu can inherit the Donghua lineage, but he cannot run to inherit the Pei family.
Being the head of the Pei family is two different things, so naturally father and master are not the same thing.
Rounding things off like this, Zhou Mengyao occupies his father’s
The position is that of the founder of the Qi family.
Qi Xuansu naturally heard Zhou Mengyao's evil intentions and pointed them out directly.
Although Qiniang is not married yet, it does not mean that Qiniang likes women. Qiniang did not agree to this in the first place.
Finally, the two jumped all the way to the last floor, which was the top of the tower. There were no windows here, but a closed door.
Open the door at the top of the tower?
This is indeed contrary to common sense, but it is in line with Zhou Mengyao's speculation that the entrance is above Jiutian and the exit is under Jiuyou.
There is a round ball hanging in the middle.
This round ball is very strange. It looks a bit like the Taoist Tai Chi symbol, but there are no black and white points, and there are clear distinctions.
Zhou Mengyao looked at the sphere and said: "This probably symbolizes the 'sky'. The black one is the underworld, and the white one is the yang world. The two together constitute the 'sky' itself."
Qi Xuansu was thoughtful.
Zhou Mengyao walked to the closed door, stretched out his hand and pushed it, but it didn't move. The structure of this stone door is very strange. There is a mechanism integrated with the stone door. Because the tower body hangs upside down, the mechanism automatically falls, like a dragon-breaking stone, making the stone door
Completely closed.
With the current cultivation levels of Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao, they definitely cannot push it, let alone break out.
Qi Xuansu suddenly said: "Sanniang, have you ever heard of a Western-style poem?"
"What Western poetry?" Zhou Mengyao asked casually, his eyes still fixed on the stone door.
Qi Xuansu said: "The distant mountains show a shadowy figure. The thick foundation supports the shallow high-rise. If one day, someone turns the world upside down, the ancient tradition will surely suffer from earthquakes and landslides."
Zhou Mengyao was stunned for a while: "What do you want to express?"
Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand and pressed it on the ball: "Reverse the world."
Zhou Mengyao understood, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "You can give it a try."
Qi Xuansu didn't waste any time and directly turned the ball upside down.
Originally it was white at the top and black at the bottom, but now it has become white at the bottom and black at the top.
In an instant, the entire hanging tower turned upside down.
The two people who were originally standing on the ceiling fell back to the ground uncontrollably, and were inevitably embarrassed.
More importantly, the mechanism that originally sealed the stone door was turned upside down with the rotation of the inverted tower, returned to its original position, and embedded in the groove at the threshold. The remaining part was just flush with the threshold, and the closed stone door could be opened normally.
Qi Xuansu retracted his palm and looked at Shimen: "Yes
#Every time verification appears, please do not use incognito mode!
Success or failure depends on this."
No need to say more, the two of them walked side by side towards the stone gate and worked together.
With a dull sound, the stone door slowly opened a crack.
This time, there is no longer endless darkness like the starry sky outside the door, but a ray of light.
As the stone door opened wider and wider, this ray of light became more and more dazzling, illuminating the faces of the two people.
"Let's go!" Zhou Mengyao said in a deep voice.
The two passed through the portal together.
Because both of them had lost their cultivation at this time, there was no way they could plot against each other and they simply passed through this portal.
On the other side of the door is the inner chamber of the palace. The entire structure is made of bronze.
At this time, the doors and windows are closed, the talismans are inscribed, and the outside scene cannot be seen.
This is supposed to be a magnificent scene of a fairyland, but because many of the golden lamps hanging in the hall have been extinguished, the light is slightly dim, so it becomes dark. Not only is it no longer a magnificent fairyland, but it instead looks like a dead and cold ghostland.
.
The dome of the main hall is shaped into a vast starry sky, and the light of countless "stars" forms a thin layer of light mist. It's just that the starlight is cold, even if there are many, it makes people feel a bit colder.
Because of the inheritance of True Lord Ziguang, Qi Xuansu was somewhat familiar with the "Ziwei Dou Shu". Watching the light and dark changes of the "stars" corresponding to the brightness and extinction of the stars, he immediately felt that this star chart was wonderful, and it was different from the weird stars in the upside-down tower.
The picture is completely the authentic Taoist star chart.
Under the star map, there is something similar to a sundial. The stone plate of the sundial has Bagua engraved on it. As the star map changes, the shadows on the sundial also move, corresponding to the eight gates of the Bagua.
There are various murals painted on the surrounding walls, including worshiping heaven and earth, distributing talisman water, gathering people to make oaths, fighting between two armies, and attacking the city. It is similar to what Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao did, and in the painting
The characters all wear yellow turbans, and the leader holds a "nine-section staff", which is the famous Yellow Turban Uprising.
Obviously, this palace was created by Taiping Dao. And it is not the Taiping Dao that resurrects corpses today, but the original Taiping Dao in ancient times.
Zhou Mengyao said softly: "Cang Tian is dead, Huang Tian is here to stand, and the age of Jiazi means good luck to the world. Is this the place where Taiping Dao sealed 'Cang Tian'?"
Qi Xuansu did not speak. This place obviously met what Long Xiaobai said. She did not experience the extraterrestrial demon, but came to an ancient cave. This place was in line with Long Xiaobai's description of the ancient cave.
It's true that stupid people are lucky, and they can get it right in one step.
