"Boy, the black and white snakes were originally part of our body. I can't tell you what they do. But what I can tell you is that the two of us were asked to guard here for some special reasons and not leave at will. Today, the black and white snakes have returned to their body, which means that our mission has been completed. In order to repay you for your offerings of incense and rescue, we have worked together to brand you with the mark of the underworld. From today onwards, all evil will retreat from you and you will be immune to all poisons. I hope this can help you." Bai Wuchang said.
When Xu Jianguo heard this, he quickly said in his mind: "Thank you, Seventh Master, Eighth Master!"
"No need to be so polite!" said Bai Wuchang.
"Seventh Master, does the underworld really exist?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"It doesn't really matter whether the underworld exists or not. What matters is that it can make people have awe for certain things. In short, if you believe it, it exists; if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist! Boy, I can feel the Taoist aura on you, but I can't see the cause and effect of your future. However, you and I are destined to be together, so today, the Seventh Master will give you a few words of advice. The situation is over, so do what you can. There are some things you can't stop. In troubled times, nothing is more important than being alive!" said Bai Wuchang.
Xu Jianguo thought about it and continued to ask in his mind: "What if someone wants to hurt my family?"
"Silly boy, many things cannot be solved by confrontation. In the end, it all comes down to who lives longer. What if the enemy can't find you and your loved ones? I believe you understand what I mean!" Bai Wuchang said meaningfully.
Xu Jianguo nodded and was about to continue speaking when Bai Wuchang's voice rang out in his mind again: "Boy, the time is up. We have to go back and report. See you later!"
As Bai Wuchang finished his words, the two rays of light, one black and one white, that were shooting towards his chest from the statue's eyes suddenly disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
But when he looked at the two statues again, he found that they had long lost their former glory, and the entire hall exuded an air of decay.
Xu Jianguo stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to recover. He really didn't expect that the two little snakes that he had accidentally put into the space had such a powerful origin.
"Boy, are you okay?" the old Taoist priest walked up and asked.
"It's okay, I just chatted with the Black and White Impermanence for a while." Xu Jianguo said.
“With…with whom???” the old Taoist priest asked in disbelief.
"No one, let's go, Taoist priest, let's go back!" Xu Jianguo changed the subject.
"Oh, okay, let's go back!" The old Taoist thought Xu Jianguo was joking and didn't take it seriously, so he agreed.
Xu Jianguo did not explain what the black and white light was. With a thought, he and the old Taoist priest disappeared in the Hall of Impermanence.
When the two returned to the space, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening. Xu Jianguo called the system but received no response, knowing that the system upgrade was not yet complete.
After instructing Du Yu to bring some food to him and the old Taoist priest, the two of them came to Wuwei Temple together.
"Boy, where is the next stop?" The old Taoist priest sat on a chair and asked Xu Jianguo who was fiddling with tea sets.
"Desert, Sea of Death!" Xu Jianguo used his mind to take some charcoal brought back from Death Valley, lit it in the clay stove, then put the teapot on it, and then spoke.
"When are we going?" the old Taoist priest continued to ask.
"I want to set off tomorrow, but it's been delayed for too long and I'm not sure!" said Xu Jianguo.
"Okay!" The old Taoist nodded and spoke.
After the two drank tea for a while, Du Yu came in with a tray and two large bowls of steaming braised beef noodles were placed on the table.
The old man and the young man were not polite. They took the chopsticks handed to them by Du Yu and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Soon, the two large bowls of noodles were devoured. The old Taoist priest burped, picked up the teacup, took a sip of water and said, "Boy, the food here is really good. I have gained weight."
"Isn't this good? After suffering for decades, it's time to enjoy life in old age." Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"You are so thoughtful, kid! From now on, I will not go anywhere else. I will just stay at my Wuwei Temple and watch my little nephew grow up safely!" said the old Taoist priest with some emotion.
"Okay, let Funiu take care of you in your old age!"
"Hey, that's great!"
After the two chatted for a while, Xu Jianguo left Wuwei Temple and walked towards the courtyard.
Instead of returning to the room, Xu Jianguo first went to see the Unimog that was badly damaged by lightning. He took the things off the car, put them in the trunk of the G63, and then filled the fuel tank with gasoline.
After opening the car door and getting into the driver's seat, Xu Jianguo took out the kettle and drank a sip of water. After thinking for a while, he ran to the supermarket to get a box of Panda cigarettes and a lighter.
He lowered the car window, unpacked the package, took out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and took a light puff.
“Cough cough cough…”
He had never smoked in his two lives, and when he suddenly inhaled nicotine into his lungs, he immediately started coughing violently.
Xu Jianguo quickly drank a sip of water and felt better.
He looked at the cigarette in his hand and tried to take another puff. This time he didn't cough. When he exhaled the smoke into his lungs, he felt a sense of relief.
He put out the remaining half of his cigarette in the ashtray in the car, then closed his eyes, called up the map in his mind, and began to check the situation in his destination, the Sea of Death.
The Sea of Death is located in the desert in the southeast of the western border of Longxia Kingdom. It was the second largest saltwater lake in the country in ancient times. Later, due to climate change and the influence of man-made water conservancy projects, the water from upstream gradually decreased and dried up, eventually becoming what it is today.
