Chapter 418: Immortal Palace

About 130 miles southwest of Minghuang Temple.

A small town with green tiles and white walls comes into view, shaded by willow trees and mulberry trees.

The giant sword began to slow down and descend.

Uncle Tang pointed to the north of the town and said slowly: "This place is called 'Kuliu Town'. There is a rich man in the town who has a very cute nine-section bear at home.

Not long ago, the nine-section bear ran away, and the rich man offered a reward and mobilized the whole town to help find it.

But in the end, the Nine-Sectioned Bear was not found, and several people who participated in the search went missing.

After investigation, it was found that the missing persons had entered the woods north of the town and never returned.

So many people ran there to look for someone, but unexpectedly discovered a mysterious manor.

However, no one in the entire Kuliu Town knew the origin of the manor, or even when it was built.

Afterwards, a few brave citizens broke into the manor and never returned.

After the news spread, it attracted the attention of Minghuang Temple, which sent people to investigate. They soon confirmed that the mysterious manor was actually a fairy palace. "

Hearing this, the horse-faced young man said with a sigh, "Minghuang Temple is really lucky to have picked up a fairy palace for free."

Bu Yan'e agreed and nodded, "Minghuang Temple has been exploring Zhouyuan Palace for some time and must have gained a lot of benefits. Then they ran into big trouble and had to ask us for help. It shows that they have run into a tough opponent."

The old man with white hair and a youthful face echoed, "We didn't participate in the early exploration, so we didn't get any benefits. Next, we will encounter very difficult evil creatures as soon as we appear, and it will not be easy to obtain treasures."

Uncle Tang replied, "Well, it's obvious. If Minghuang Temple hadn't been in big trouble, how could they be willing to share this fairy palace with us?"

As he spoke, the giant sword flew over the town, slanted into the woods in the north, and flew low.

After a while, a group of tents appeared in the woods, and many bald monks were walking on the ground.

A golden flag was erected outside the tent with three big characters "Minghuang Temple" written on it.

Fang Zhixing looked around but did not find the mysterious manor.

At this time, an old monk with a white beard raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Are you a fellow Taoist from Canghai Sect?"

Uncle Tang smiled and replied, "It's Tang! Master Pohe, how have you been lately?"

The white-bearded old monk clasped his hands together and said, "Thanks to the great blessing of King Tang Wu, I am doing well."

The giant sword landed.

A group of five people jumped down and landed on the ground.

"Um??"

At this moment, Fang Zhixing turned his head and suddenly saw a tall gray-white wall in front of the tent.

There is a red-painted gate in the middle of the courtyard wall, with a plaque hanging on it that reads "Zhou Garden".

He moved his eyes further away and immediately saw clearly that behind the gray-white wall was a manor, which seemed to cover a large area.

But in the air, the five of them didn't even notice the manor.

Master Pohe saw this and laughed, "People in the air cannot see this fairy palace at all. You can only see it if you stand on the ground. Isn't it amazing?"

Uncle Tang said: "It is worthy of being a fairy palace. No matter how many you pass through, it can still bring you countless surprises."

Master Pohe's expression changed slightly, and he sighed, "Come to think of it, the number of immortal palaces explored by King Tang Wu must be at least 300, if not 500, right?"

Uncle Tang waved his hand and said, "There's not that much to say. Let's not talk about this anymore. What's the current situation?"

Master Pohe's expression became serious. He took out a scroll from his arms and spread it out.

Fang Zhixing glanced at the scroll and saw a diagram of the Bagua.

Master Pohe said carefully: "According to our estimation, Zhouyuan Immortal Palace covers at least 360,000 acres, and its overall outline is like a Bagua diagram, divided into two layers, inner and outer.

The outer layer is divided into eight areas: Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen and Kun.

The inner layer should be the core area of ​​Zhouyuan Palace."

Upon seeing this, Master Tang raised his hand and tapped the Bagua map, and said thoughtfully: "I have encountered a fairy palace of this shape before. As long as one area of ​​the Bagua is opened, one can enter the inner core."

Master Pohe spread his hands and said, "We thought the same thing at the beginning, so we tried our best to conquer the 'Dry Zone', but in the end we didn't find the path to the inner core."

Uncle Tang was silent for a moment, then stroked his beard and asked, "Did you find anything, like a key or something?"

Master Pohe's eyes lit up and he nodded, "We did find a key...a fragment."

Uncle Tang laughed and said, "It's not the same old trick again, is it? There is a fragment hidden in each of the eight trigrams areas. You need to gather all eight pieces to form a complete key."

Master Pohe smiled bitterly and said, "You guessed it right. This is the situation."

Uncle Tang understood and asked, "How many pieces have you found?"

Master Pohe raised his hand and made a "six" gesture, and replied: "There are still 'Zhen District' and 'Xun District' that have not been conquered. There are many evil creatures in these two areas, and it is more difficult to conquer them.

At the same time, we have conquered six areas in succession and are already exhausted physically and mentally. If we continue to hold on, it will only cause unnecessary casualties."

At this point, he showed a sincere expression, and added: "Besides, the Immortal Palace only appears for a limited time each time, and may disappear at any time. We really can't wait, so we ask Canghaimen to lend a hand and work together for great things."

Uncle Tang smiled and said, "In that case, why not have your people withdraw first and let us handle the remaining two areas."

Master Pohe was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I will take you to the fairy palace right away."

There is nothing wrong with the five people from Canghai Gate.

As everyone walked towards the gate step by step, Fang Zhixing's expectations for the Immortal Palace also grew higher and higher.

With a creaking sound, Master Pohe pushed open the door.

There is a screen wall behind the door, with vague carving marks on the surface, which seems to tell the vicissitudes of time.

After passing the screen wall, the space suddenly opens up and a spacious courtyard comes into view.

Garden, rockery, lotus pond...

It should have been a picturesque scene, but unfortunately it was all severely damaged.

There were traces of battle everywhere in the courtyard, which was covered in blood, a mess, and was filled with the pungent stench of corpses.

Master Pohe introduced: "This is the 'dry area'. When we first came in, there were many 'dead fetuses' here."

Fang Zhixing and the others were stunned when they heard this. Bu Yan'e asked curiously, "What is a dead fetus? Is it an evil thing?"

Master Pohe looked a little strange, and said vaguely: "A stillbirth is a fetus that has not been born and died in the mother's womb."

As I was saying...

They walked down a corridor, winding their way back and forth between the attics.

Suddenly there was a turn, and Fang Zhixing and the others were all stunned and stopped subconsciously.

The front is lush and green, with many pine and bamboo plants planted.

A huge corpse lay on the ground, face up, crushing a large area of ​​pine and bamboo trees.

The corpse was naked and was over a hundred meters tall.

Judging from the outline, it is undoubtedly a woman.

The two peaks on her chest were huge and round, and milky white liquid slowly flowed out.

The giantess's body was torn apart, her stomach was cut open, and her flesh and blood were swirling. The scene was extremely horrifying.

But when everyone took a closer look, they couldn't help but feel uneasy.

When the giantess's belly was cut open, a large uterus was exposed, with spherical bodies hanging inside, shaped like a bunch of grapes.

The spheroid is just a layer of mucous membrane with the outline of a baby inside.

Four monks at the Wuzong realm were sitting cross-legged under the belly of the female immortal, beating wooden fish and chanting scriptures.

This situation...

"Amitabha!"

Master Pohe clasped his hands together, his face full of sorrow.

Uncle Tang remained silent. Bu Yan'e asked in astonishment, "Master, what is that?"

Master Pohe sighed, “She was already like this when we found her.

In my humble opinion, she was a female fairy who was pregnant, but was killed by someone.

However, the body of the female fairy did not decay or rot, so it was preserved very fresh.

Moreover, the fetuses in the female fairy's belly can still move. They crawl out of the womb and come out, gradually turning into monsters. They kill anyone they see, eat them alive, and are extremely cruel! "

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Just as she finished speaking, the fairy's uterus suddenly squirmed, and a spherical body burst open, and a small hand covered with mucus stretched out.

Seeing this, Master Pohe struck out with his palm without any hesitation.

"Vajra Palm!"

The powerful palm force was sent out from the air, and the spherical body exploded instantly, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

But this is not the end! Deep inside the uterus, the flesh and blood continued to wriggle, and spherical bodies grew out one after another.

Master Pohe sighed and said, "This is the dead fetus I just mentioned. They keep growing out of the female immortal's womb and cannot be killed."

Bu Yan'e looked disgusted and had goose bumps all over her body. She asked, "Can't we just destroy the body of the female fairy?"

Master Pohe shook his head and said, "It's useless. We can't destroy it! We tried many methods, but all to no avail."

The group chatted as they walked, and soon passed by the fairy girl. An arched door appeared in front of them.

However, the arched door was covered with vines, intertwined like a curtain, blocking the way.

Master Pohe stepped forward, and the sleeve of his right hand swelled up as if it were being inflated.

"Vajra Finger Sword!"

He raised his right arm, formed a finger sword, and then a golden sword energy burst out, as thin as a cicada's wing and exactly the same width as the arched door.

Swish! A row of vines snapped, leaving smooth cuts.

“Go!”

Master Pohe waved his hand and walked quickly through the archway.

Then I realized that the five people were following closely.

As soon as they passed through the archway, the vines quickly regenerated and everything returned to its original state in an instant.

"We have now entered the 'Exchange Zone'. Be careful, don't scream here, and it's best to cover your ears."

Master Pohe quickened his pace, as if he was unwilling to stay in this area for even a second longer.

But before he had taken a few steps, a sweet laugh suddenly came from a room not far away.

"Hehe~"

The laughter is as sweet as a silver bell, pleasant to the ear.

You can tell it's a woman's laughter as soon as you hear it, most likely a beautiful woman, which makes people imagine a lot.

Fang Zhixing and others couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

“Don’t look!”

Master Pohe shouted in a low voice, walked forward with his head down and big strides, as if he was avoiding the plague.

Fang Zhixing quickly lowered his head, collected his thoughts, and avoided looking at anything inappropriate.

As they were walking, the young man with a horse face suddenly left the team and walked towards a room on his own.

"Where are you going?" Fang Zhixing moved behind the horse-faced young man and grabbed his arm.

Uncle Tang and his companions realized what was happening only then. They looked over in surprise and found that the horse-faced young man had a silly smile on his face and his eyes were distracted, as if he was possessed by evil spirits.

"I……"

The horse-faced young man looked bewildered and said in surprise: "Hey, I was clearly following you the whole time, how could it be..."

Master Po He said solemnly: "You have been tricked. I won't explain it for now. Let's go!"

Everyone cheered up and moved forward as quickly as possible, and soon saw an arched door covered with vines again.

Master Pohe broke through the vines, walked over, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around and smiled bitterly, "There seems to be the legendary 'immortal sound' in the Dui area. Mortals must not listen to it. Whoever listens to it will become obsessed and will not eat or drink from then on, unable to extricate themselves, and eventually turn into a pile of bones."

The old monk took a deep look at the young man with a horse face and sighed, "Several monks were also tricked before. They were seduced by the 'Immortal Sound' and entered that room. After that, they never came out again."

The horse-faced young man looked frightened and looked at Fang Zhixing with gratitude.

Uncle Tang stroked his beard and asked, "What's in that room?"

Master Pohe spread his hands and said, "I don't know. We didn't dare to go near that room."

Uncle Tang didn't ask any more questions. He looked around and said, "This is the 'Leaving Zone', right?"

Master Pohe said: "Yes, this area is relatively safe, there are not so many evil spirits."

Everyone slowed down their pace a little and carefully took in the scenery of the fairy palace.

However……

The buildings they saw were just blue tiles and white walls. There was nothing magical about them, and they could not even be described as luxurious or exquisite.

Could it be that immortals live in places like this? Master Pohe seemed to see what everyone was thinking and said with a smile, "Don't doubt it, this is the Immortal Palace. It's just that after the Immortal Palace descended to the mortal world, it disguised itself and became what it is now."

Uncle Tang nodded and said, "The Immortal Palace we saw should only be its appearance, not its true appearance."

Bu Yan'e couldn't help but ask, "What should the real fairy palace look like?"

Master Pohe raised his chin slightly and recalled: "Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to witness a Buddha saint shattering the void. At the moment he shattered the void, I caught a glimpse of a sacred temple in the depths of the void, surrounded by auspicious clouds and thousands of auspicious auras rising. It was amazing and fascinating."

As they chatted, the group arrived at the third arched door.

Master Pohe stopped and said with a smile: "Behind the door is the 'Earthquake Zone'. I wish you a successful start."

Uncle Tang said nothing, but waved his hand, and the sword energy spread out, instantly shattering the intertwined vines into powder.

This technique was so light and smooth that Master Pohe raised his eyebrows in admiration.

When it comes to swordsmanship, Canghai Sect is an expert after all, and cannot be compared with Minghuang Temple.

Uncle Tang strode through the arched door with great momentum, looking majestic and heroic, displaying the heroic demeanor of a King of Martial Arts.

Fang Zhixing's four helpers quickly followed and held down their weapons at the same time.

A group of five people broke into the earthquake zone. Looking around, they saw buildings on the left and a lake on the right.
