Chapter 17 Return and Mark
Eight out of ten things in life are not satisfactory. It would be great if everything could go according to the script. How could life be filled with so many tragedies and comedies?
He won't give up until the last moment.
In fact, he had a vague guess in his mind at this time, that is, his golden finger was not wrong, but the underworld was immortal, and it was only a matter of time before the old melon seller was resurrected.
Just as Yi Chen was hesitating whether to continue moving forward or retreat to the lobby, suddenly there was a wave at the old melon-selling stall, and a blood-red portal slowly appeared from nothing.
At the bottom of the blood-colored portal, there was an endless sea of blood engraved, with a black lotus floating in the sea of blood.
Above the sea of blood, on the left and right of the gate, there are two strange beasts, a dragon and a tiger, with vivid expressions and very mysterious.
Suddenly, there were sounds of dragon roars and tiger roars, and the bloody door was suddenly half opened, revealing a messy grove outside.
Yi Chen was overjoyed when he saw this and said, "I am familiar with this place."
At the same time, as the door was slowly opened, fog began to swirl violently deep in the long street, and a powerful, eerie ghost aura began to condense.
Yi Chen's expression changed drastically. He flashed and seized the opportunity to rush into the opened blood-red portal. On the way, he did not forget to grab the tiger's tail and drag it away.
At the moment when Yi Chen's figure disappeared into the portal, a powerful ghost energy scraped past the bloody portal like a blade... Outside the messy grove, Yi Chen grabbed the tiger's tail, gasping for breath. The last burst of that powerful ghost energy scared him to death, but fortunately he avoided it at the critical moment and escaped the fate of being "cut in the middle".
But Brother Huzi's fate was not so good. Yi Chen looked at the half-dead tiger in his hand and sighed:
"Brother Tiger, you are so unlucky. I tried my best, but I could only save your tail and half of your butt."
Behind him, there was a strange red house standing quietly. He finally escaped.
Yi Chen looked back at the strange red house called Yinfu, licked his lips, and estimated in his heart how many deep red spots there would be if he blew up this broken house.
At this moment, the red house in the distance changed again. An old man selling melons walked out of the front yard. He had less than three good teeth in his two rows and was grinning at Yi Chen.
"Oh my god~"
Yi Chen's hair stood on end instantly. He threw the half-dead body of the tiger in his hand onto the tree, and with the light purple pure yang energy surrounding his body, he ran away.
At this time, the effect of the anode transformation had not yet subsided. He ran very fast and managed to carve out a straight line in the dense forest.
Behind him, half of the tiger's butt was hanging on the tree, and its tail was swaying gently in the wind.
Changes were also happening in the underworld at this time. A new colorful tablet suddenly appeared at the bottom of the mourning hall in the hall, and it was Yi Chen's face.
…
…
…
By the time Yi Chen saw the lights of Yinlong Temple, it had already darkened.
Seeing the familiar Taoist temple on the distant horizon, Yi Chen let out a long breath.
The journey to the underworld is really dangerous. Although it seemed as easy as cutting melons and vegetables when he killed the old melon seller, in fact, he had already used all his tricks, including his hidden anode transformation and dragon-slaying sword.
Even so, if it weren't for the two dragon roars and tiger roars coming from the blood-red portal that appeared at the end, I'm afraid he would be like the leopard tiger, with only half of his body left.
The last violent explosion of ghost energy was really frightening. Even with Yi Chenyang's extremely strong state, he had to be "split in half" in front of the ghost energy that was as sharp as an arrow, and his fate was the same as that of the leopard tiger.
At night, Yinlong Temple.
Yi Chen and his four brothers sat around the table. The two little cuties Qingfeng and Mingyue considerately brought tea. The two little ones held their cheeks with their hands, stared at Yi Chen with their cute big eyes, looking him up and down, as if looking for something.
Qingfeng: "Big Brother."
Mingyue: "You said you would bring us some delicious food. Where is it?"
Yi Chen smiled awkwardly, took a sip of tea, and said:
"Qingfeng, Mingyue, you may not believe me, but I originally brought you some candied haws this time."
Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other, already having a bad feeling in their hearts, and asked in unison: "Then what?"
"Then Senior Brother hurried back. I bought a whole candied haws stick. Guess what happened on the way?"
"When I was walking through the woods, I encountered a deer that jumped past me. A tiger followed closely behind it and also jumped past me. The tiger flicked its tail, and guess what happened?"
"All the candied haws have been knocked over! They're gone!"
"Big Brother, can you bear this? I chased after him immediately."
Qingfeng: “….”
Mingyue: “….”
Qing Feng's cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish when he heard this. He interrupted Yi Chen and asked, "Big Brother, where is the tiger that knocked over the candied haws?"
Yi Chen: "Dead."
"How did he die?"
"You are so greedy for money that your eldest brother is dead. Why don't you bring him back?" The two little ones continued to ask questions one after another.
"It was split in half by a ghostly arrow, leaving only half its butt. How could I carry it with me? I just threw it onto a tree."
Qingfeng: “….”
Mingyue: “….”
Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other for the second time. The two little pufferfish jumped down from their chairs, made faces at Yi Chen in unison, and went back to their room to rest.
Yi Chen: “…” These days no one believes the truth.
He turned to look at Qing Yunzi, "Junior brother, do you believe it?"
"Of course I believe that Senior Brother has encountered something extraordinary this time." Qing Yunzi said with his eyes squinted, and his strabismus became more and more serious.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Junior brother, you really understand me. How did you figure that out?"
Qing Yunzi did not say anything, but pointed at a piece of exposed skin on Yi Chen's chest.
Yi Chen looked down following Qing Yunzi's gaze, and a chill rushed to his forehead. A teardrop-shaped blood mark appeared on his chest at some point.
"What the hell is this thing? It's coming back?" Yi Chen said in horror. He had a hunch that this ghost mark was most likely related to the strange underworld.
"Brother, can you tell me in detail what happened to you? One person can make a plan, but two people can make a plan. Let's think of a solution together."
Upon hearing this, Yi Chen briefly recounted what he had seen and heard in the underworld. After listening to this, the well-read Qing Yunzi frowned.
"Brother, I'm afraid this matter has gotten out of hand."
"I don't know what the underworld is. The name Zhang Jishi is written on the jade tablet you got. If I'm not mistaken, this person is the 36th generation headmaster of Longhu Mountain who has been missing for more than a hundred years, and the most famous righteous heavenly master."
Qing Yunzi's worried voice came.
Yi Chen: "..." He couldn't help but think of the dragon and tiger vision on the bloody door when he came out and the colorful Taoist statue on the top of the mourning hall. Could it be that he was able to escape because of the secret help of this old Taoist priest? If so, then he owed him a big favor.
But even a fierce man like the old master has been trapped in this labor rope hell for more than a hundred years. Shit... Yi Chen looked down at the teardrop-shaped blood mark on his chest with an uncertain expression. Finally, he laughed dryly and comforted Qing Yunzi: "Junior brother, don't worry too much. Maybe it was a mosquito bite."
"On the way back, I passed through a woodland. The wild mosquitoes were very strong!"
Qing Yunzi was a stubborn person. He said seriously, "Brother, I have accumulated enough. My spiritual perception is sharp now. Your body is full of blood and energy. It is extremely tough. Even if I use a kitchen knife to chop you, I may not be able to cut into you. What kind of mosquito can bite you like this?"
"Brother, please don't lie to me."
"But don't worry, Senior Brother. I will be fully awakened in two months at most. By then, I will find a way to protect you even if it costs me my life."
A hint of light red pure yang energy leaped on Qing Yunzi's left finger, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.
"Junior brother, that's amazing. Tell me quickly how it feels and how you made the breakthrough?" Yi Chen happily rubbed Qing Yunzi's Taoist bun, and it became loose in a few strokes.
This little junior brother was playful when he was a child, but he has become a bit too serious now that he has grown up.
"Brother~, stop pulling me, you've been pulling me for so many years..." Qing Yunzi tilted his head to avoid Yi Chen's clutches, and pouted his lips, "I can't tell you how I awakened the pure Yang spirit, but I can tell you about my feelings after awakening."
"The heaven and earth have Qi. After awakening the spirituality, one can sense the existence of Qi, see the nature of the mind, absorb Qi for one's own use, and even use one's own Qi to pry the power of heaven and earth, showing all kinds of incredible power. This is the art."
"There are many kinds of Qi in the world, including Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, wind, rain, thunder and lightning. The Qi of the world that is most friendly to me is not only the red pure Yang Qi, but also the starlight Qi."
After Qing Yunzi finished speaking, he waved his hand, and in front of Yi Chen's shocked eyes, the light of the stars and the moon outside the window slowly gathered into a small ball of light in Qing Yunzi's hand. Then he opened his mouth and swallowed the ball of light directly in his palm.
"Is this the power of Taiyin? Junior brother, how did you, a person who practices Pure Yang Taoism, awaken two completely different powers?"
"Is it difficult? I have always been confused about what the Pure Yang Power is and what the end of the Pure Yang Dao is. Finally, last night when I was reciting the "Taishang Lingfei Pure Yang Root Dao Sutra", my accumulated experience finally came to fruition and I was able to break through a layer of confusion."
"The extreme of Yang is Yin, and the extreme of Yin is Yang. This is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth."
"For example, the treasure of heaven and earth that Master mentioned - Yangquan water, can only be nurtured and cultivated in an extremely yin environment."
“This is the birth of yin and yang.”
"After understanding all this, I will be able to absorb the star and moon energy and pure yang energy between heaven and earth."
“To cultivate is to open your body to the heart of heaven, absorb the Qi that best suits you, and become a friend of Qi.”
Qing Yunzi had a proud look on his face and spoke out all his insights like pouring out beans.
