At this time, the sky was not bright yet, it was dark blue, except for a faint hint of fish belly white at the end of the sky.
Liuhu has finished tidying up, abandoning the more cumbersome women's clothing and putting on improved men's clothing, which is simple, neat and easy to ride. This is also one of the trends nowadays. When they went to Wugoshanli, Zhang Yuelu and Mu
Jindu was dressed in modified men's clothing. Then Liuhu added a cloak with a hood on the outside, which could resist wind and rain.
Bodhisattvaman took out two masks as thin as cicada wings and handed them to the two of them respectively, and said: "Although the disguise may not be able to hide it from the eyes of interested people, it is better than nothing at least."
Qi Xuansu took the mask, looked at it briefly, and then covered it on his face very familiarly. Then he used a small magic to summon a water mirror, and carefully smoothed the wrinkles of the mask against the mirror. In the blink of an eye, Qi Xuansu
He has become a different person.
Compared with Qi Xuansu's original appearance, Qi Xuansu's brows at this time were a bit more gloomy and quite scheming. In addition, Qi Xuansu's eyes were somewhat decisive and fierce. The combination of the two,
On the contrary, the new face is more suitable for the name "Wei Wugui". It makes people feel that this person is not a good person at first glance, and they dare not provoke him rashly, which is quite a deterrent.
Liu Hu held the mask, opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Qi Xuansu in surprise.
"Girl, do you think traveling around the world is just about fighting with people? How can it be that easy? There is a lot of knowledge in it. Horseback riding and hunting, firearm medicine, wound treatment, disguise modification, looking for directions, Feng Shui geography, slang incisions, etc.
Dabble." Bodhisattva said with a smile, "Did you see how your Uncle Wei used the mask just now? You should also learn to put it on yourself."
Liu Hu responded and ran back to his room.
About two sticks of incense later, Liuhu left and came back again, with the same appearance. Originally, his appearance was just that of a middle-aged man, but it was still a bit on the upper side. Now it is simply on the lower side, but it is definitely not ugly.
It seems that the Bodhisattva knows very well that no matter how beautiful or ugly it is, it will attract people's attention. It is normal to be mediocre and unremarkable, but his eyes are still smart.
Bodhisattva Man looked at Qi Xuansu again: "You are an old Jianghu. How to get to Zhili? I don't need to talk about it. There is only one way, so be careful."
Qi Xuansu nodded solemnly.
"Father..." Liu Hu called softly, feeling both reluctance and sadness.
Bodhisattva originally wanted to reach out and touch the top of Liu Hu's head, but he stopped abruptly just in the middle, and finally sighed: "There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. Fate comes and fate gathers, fate goes and fate separates. The fate between you and me as father and daughter has been exhausted.
If we are destined, we will see each other again in the future."
Liu Hu looked serious, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times to the Bodhisattva Man, and said goodbye to his adoptive father.
Qi Xuansu stood aside without saying a word.
The Bodhisattva accepted Liuhu's great gift and looked up at the sky: "Let's go quickly while it's early."
Liu Hu slowly stood up and followed Qi Xuansu outside.
In addition to Qi Xuansu's "Bu Yue" outside the door, there is also a horse. The journey from Zhongzhou to Zhili is long and it is impossible to do it without riding a horse. This is why Liu Hu specially changed into a riding outfit, and Liu Hu is not helpless.
A weak woman with the power to bind a chicken. Her parents are both members of the Taoist sect. She can be involved in a major Jiangnan case and even be silenced by "one of her own people". She is not a low-level Taoist priest who has no access to core secrets. Let's say it less
He is also a Taoist priest of the fourth grade of sacrificial wine. Not to mention her adoptive father Bodhisattva Man, even Qi Xuansu can't see through his reality. He is obviously not an ordinary person. In such an environment, Liu Hu cannot be a weak person.
woman.
Liu Hu is now at the Kunlun stage of cultivation, and is already a veritable innate person. When Qi Xuansu was her age, she did not have such a level of cultivation. Even last year, Qi Xuansu was only at the Kunlun stage. Of course, the same
His level of cultivation, experience in fighting with others, and experience in various arenas are completely different.
Qi Xuansu first raised his hand towards the Bodhisattva and then got on his horse. Liu Hu took one last look at his adoptive father and followed suit.
Bodhisattva Man stood at the door, watching the two people's backs go away, showing a bit of desolation.
At this time, the city gate has not been opened, but in any big city like Longmen Mansion, there will be a small door for people to enter and exit at night. However, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and leave, and they need relevant credentials. Bodhisattvaman is a staff member of the General Military Mansion.
, being half a family member of the General Military Mansion, it was easy to get a voucher for Liu Hu to enter and exit the city gate.
After the two people left the city through the small gate, they headed north.
Liu Hu has an introverted character, he doesn't like to talk much and is just silent.
The first day was uneventful. The two set out before dawn, and when it was almost nightfall, they had not yet left the boundaries of Longmen Mansion, and settled at a Taiping Inn in the wild. In fact, Qi Xuansu had already reached the stage of returning to his true nature.
It was possible to stay awake for several days, but Liuhu was not an option, and the journey was not short, it would take at least a month or two, so Qi Xuansu still had to rest after all.
Although Taiping Inn has always been known for its safety, few people would dare to break into the inn to commit murder unless they were great masters like Feng Bo. However, just in case, Qi Xuansu still asked for two guest rooms next to each other, and in Liu
There are some small mechanisms arranged in Hu's room. If someone sneaks into the guest room, there will be a noise immediately, and then everyone goes to sleep.
Not long after Qi Xuansu fell asleep, he had a dream.
For Qi Xuansu, dreaming is really normal. Every time, there are dark mountains, fires, and black shadows. From the initial surprise, it has become normal now. But today's dream is different from the past. There is no
There are no shadows in the mountains, but instead they are the underworld.
In front of Qi Xuansu, there is a large river with no beginning or end, a bridge on the river, and an old woman on the bridge. It looks like the legendary Naihe Bridge.
On the opposite side of the bridge, behind the thick fog, a city is vaguely visible, which seems to be the legendary Fengdu. It is five hundred miles long from east to west, eight hundred miles from north to south, and thirteen miles high. It is the capital of the underworld and is home to all the hells in the underworld.
In Fengdu City, there are ten halls of Yama, which govern the good and bad luck in the underworld and punish the sins of dead souls.
In the records of Taoism, there is indeed the theory of the Three Realms. Above is the sky, where people ascend to immortality. Below is the earth, where the souls of the Nine Netherworlds return. People imagine that there are existences similar to the imperial court and government in the sky and underground, so they say that there is a heaven above.
Under the imperial court, there is the underworld, which is the official government.
But in fact this is not the case. According to Taoist records, these two places are very different from the human world.
The so-called heaven is the extreme of Yang, vast and vast, boundless and nothing. It has no light, no shadow, no sound, no breath, no beginning and no end. If a mortal comes here, it will be the same as nothing. If an immortal comes here, it will be as if it is deep and peaceful. Only the body can create the world.
Only those with great supernatural powers can create a world here. Therefore, Taishang Taoist ancestors opened up the Thirty-three Heavens, World Honored Buddha opened up the three realms of Buddhism, and the Emperor of Heaven opened up the heaven. Once you enter this world, you can never return to the human world.
Because of this, there are many people who don't want to ascend, but they are afraid of the catastrophe that happens once in a hundred years, so they have to ascend.
The so-called Netherworld is the ultimate form of Yin. After death, the soul returns to heaven and the soul returns to earth. In fact, they all enter this place and eventually turn into chaos. Only three corpses wander around, staying in the world and turning into ghosts. The Zaoge Sect once
Using the boundless corpse energy to corrode a gap in the present world, leading directly to the Nine Netherworlds, it actually communicates with this world. This world is extremely filthy, except for a few special immortals, even other immortals are unwilling to set foot in it, let alone
It is said that the reincarnation of the underworld master was established here.
To use an inappropriate analogy, the Three Realms are like a very large city. The sky is the highest tower and palace. The road to the top is dangerous and difficult. Only a few people can go there. It is easy to go up but difficult to come down.
You can only overlook the city and cannot intervene. There are intricate sewers underground. All kinds of sewage are discharged into this place. It is filthy and dark, making it difficult for ordinary people to survive. No one will live in the sewers for a long time. Even if they manage the sewers, they will not need too many people.
, let alone anyone to judge the merits and demerits of these "sewage". The so-called good and evil will be rewarded, which is more of a self-comfort for the world's inability to resist reality.
The main body is the city itself, whether the upper towers or sewers, their existence depends on the city.
Since Xuansheng revitalized Taoism, he has been very opposed to deceiving the world by pretending to be mysterious, so in general courses, these contents are written clearly and never covertly.
Because of this, Qi Xuansu knew very well that if he really came under Jiuyou, not to mention whether there was a Naihe Bridge, he would be corroded by the boundless Yin Qi right away until nothing was left.
