Chapter 77: At the end of the 77th day of the live broadcast of ascension, Xu Zhilan sent...
Shi Xian Yu quickly kissed the little cutie twice, one on each cheek, very symmetrically, without favoring one over the other.
After the kiss, Xu Zhilan just changed his clothes.
He handed the child over again.
He leaned over and whispered a reminder, "There's Xiaoguai too!"
"Xiaoguai is also very good, very obedient and well behaved. Reward Xiaoguai Long Aotian Duck."
Xu Zhilan tried hard to find two words of praise, kissed the child on the left cheek, and was urged by Xiaoyu to kiss the right cheek.
A set of processes is completed.
The little fish in front of him was obviously happier. Not only did he hum a few unknown tunes, he also quacked like a duck.
It seems that he is very satisfied with his new identity as a duck.
Xu Zhilan did not disturb the happy Xiaoyu. He first wrung out the water on the straw mat, and then checked the two soul-gathering grass vests he had just taken out of Master Xianyu's arms.
It was also confirmed that the things made from these three soul-gathering grass would not become transparent when they came into contact with water.
He surveyed the calm water thoughtfully, then groped inside the transparent boat for a moment. Sure enough, he found the oar, which had become completely transparent.
Probably when they fell into the water in the cave, the oar was carried into the boat along with the movement of them falling down.
It is indeed a good thing that the oars are still there, which makes it much easier to drive and control the boat.
Xu Zhilan gave the two wet vests to Shi Xianyu and Xiaoguai respectively. The former wore it while the latter barely wrapped himself in it.
He hung the straw blanket on his arm and paddled the boat while waiting for the blanket to dry.
This section of the waterway is still like a quagmire, making it extremely difficult to navigate.
Just like before, we still need the help of merit to slowly move forward.
A family of three floated quietly on the mirror-like water, surrounded by clouds and mist, and it was difficult to distinguish the front, back, left and right.
There was only the transparent soul-gathering grass boat, swaying gently again and again.
Proof that they are still in the underworld.
I don’t know how long it has been.
They heard bursts of singing, which seemed to be there and not there, and very far away from them.
So far away that it is impossible to catch it.
Shi Xianyu tried hard to discern the tune of the ballad, but before he could make out anything, the singing completely disappeared.
The clouds and mist also turned into a dense and gloomy aura that blocked the view.
Waves gradually appeared on the water surface.
Wave after wave, just like the earlier ballads, one after another.
The transparent boat made of soul-gathering grass gradually moved with the waves, sometimes swaying and sometimes rushing towards somewhere.
Xu Zhilan still believed that it was safer to control the boat and did not choose to go with the flow.
And he continued to use the oars and merits to control the speed and direction of the boat as it went downstream.
Master Xianyu also felt that such caution was very necessary.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Accidents are more likely to happen when going down a mountain than when going up.
It's better to be cautious.
The only thing to worry about is not being cautious enough, and not having enough time to react when encountering trouble.
This time they did not see anyone on the shore. The soul-gathering boat drifted downstream, passing by a stone book, a tower and a city.
In addition, they could vaguely see a corner of a magnificent building in the fog.
As for why I use the word "magnificent" to describe it.
Of course, those buildings are all extremely tall, and even when viewed from a distance, they seem to stand between heaven and earth.
It brings with it an indescribable feeling.
If I have to describe it, it would probably be the so-called... rhyme of Tao.
Master Xianyu wanted to take a closer look, but unfortunately the fog waits for no one.
We gather when we say we gather, and we disperse when we say we disperse.
He could only whisper to Xu Zhilan and guess that perhaps the two ends of Huangquan were the "road" between life and death and reincarnation.
All traces of this 'Tao'.
They all stayed in the underworld.
Perhaps, what they are walking towards is not just the underworld, but life and death.
I can’t figure out more.
Maybe if you stay longer, watch it slowly, and gain a lot of insights, you can also get a glimpse of it.
But there is gain and loss in this world.
If they really understand, it is hard to say whether they can leave this Yellow Springs Road.
Besides, the purpose of their trip was not to obtain secrets, nor was it to learn Taoism.
It’s all for Xiaoguai, the little dragon Aotian.
Now that we have finished soaking in the spring, it is time to go back.
The longer you stay, the more variables there are.
Not to mention anything else.
Shi Xianyu still wanted to solve Xiaoguai's problem as soon as possible, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
And Hongguang's gate is blocked...
Even though he doesn't care about the world like Dao Zun and Xu Zhilan, he is still a part of the world after all. As long as he can be used, he will try his best to actively participate.
Therefore, he never thought about staying in the underworld.
Maybe it's because they both have pure hearts.
There was no wind or waves along the way.
until……
Their soul-gathering grass boat reached the Guanshi Wall.
I saw the Ghost Queen standing quietly in the depression on the side of the stone wall.
No time to say hello.
The Queen of Ghosts took out a large stone slab and fished them - the boat and the people - over.
…
Yes.
It's like catching a fish, easily brought ashore.
The ships appeared blurry and hazy, as if they were enchanted by a barrier.
"Mother?"
Shi Xianyu called out to Empress Taining, who still had a blank expression.
He was actually a little hesitant to admit it.
His figure and appearance hadn't changed, and even the clothes he was wearing were the robes he had given him earlier.
The difference is that her loose hair is combed into a dignified bun. Although her face has no expression, it has a more compassionate feeling like the clay statues on the altar.
But underneath this mercy, there was a dazed expression.
There is a strange sense of disconnection.
Shi Xianyu thought of many words and could only reluctantly use the word "gloomy evil god" to describe it.
Earlier, Empress Taining looked like a real ghost, without any trace of a ghost fairy.
Now he has the aura of a ghost immortal.
It's just that the ghost energy is much heavier than the fairy energy. He even looked at it for a long time. The ghost energy is heavy, but what's special is that there is not a trace of resentment in it.
I don’t know what they saw in the Guanshi Wall.
"I remember a little bit."
After Empress Taining finished speaking, she thought hard for a moment and then changed her words and said, "Yes, I saw it."
Master Xianyu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Empress was still struggling to speak.
It was still the empress they knew.
As long as it doesn't get weird.
He casually replied, "What did you see?"
"I'm here to repay a favor."
After Empress Taining finished speaking, she looked at Xu Zhilan, confirmed that everything was correct, and nodded heavily.
She grabbed the slate and scooped again.
Bring the boat and people close to the smooth Guanshi Wall.
After confirming that Xu Zhilan and Shi Xianyu were by his side, he picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and slowly began to carve on the stone wall.
To be honest, Master Xian Yu was actually sweating for Empress Taining.
It shouldn't be a crime to destroy the Guanshi Wall, right?
Even if it's difficult to describe it orally, there's no need to paint in such a special place, right?
Or is it that the Queen is sure...
Before Xu Zhilan could come up with anything, Empress Taining had already carved a simple picture.
Simple but quite vivid.
First there is a ferocious beast, then a little man holding a weapon to drive away the beast, and finally a person sitting cross-legged behind the little man.
Just at the moment when Empress Taining put down the stone.
The stone painting gradually unfolded and took on color, and it looked like a water mirror or a sky curtain, with images emerging!
The person sitting cross-legged slowly transformed into the appearance of Xu Zhilan.
He was just a little younger than Xu Zhilan today. He was sitting under a tree, his white clothes stained with blood, and his face was pale.
There were also some crooked bloodstains on the ground.
You can see how hurried he is.
Soon, a dog came following the blood trail.
It moves cautiously.
Cautious yet a bit bewildered, I wandered around under the tree, but couldn't find it...
At this time, a little girl came over skipping and jumping, swinging a bamboo stick.
I saw a man sitting on a stone. When he turned around and was about to change direction, he saw a big dog staring at the stone man.
She took a closer look.
Only then did I realize that the person on the stone was injured.
The little girl hesitated for a moment, but still bravely stepped forward. She found that the person sitting on the rock was not only injured but also could not be woken up, so she bravely drove away the dog.
The dog saw the little girl holding a stick.
He suddenly became fierce.
The dog barked incessantly at the thin and small man. The higher the bamboo stick, the louder it barked.
Bamboo sticks hit the ground.
It also digs the ground.
The little girl exerted all her strength.
The dog was struggling, barking, digging at the ground, and barking loudly.
No one has made any progress.
The little girl didn't have one, and neither did the dog.
The stalemate lasted for who knows how long.
The little girl was tired, and the dog was tired too, but they were both stubborn and refused to leave.
Even if you sit down on the ground.
They must stay where they are.
I don’t know how long it has been.
Xu Zhilan, whose clothes were covered in blood, opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him. He first raised his hand to clean up the bloodstains, and then put away the formation restrictions.
The dog saw a living person suddenly appear.
Startled.
He walked past the little girl and roared at the terrifying humanoid monster.
The little girl was stunned by the way the hand cleaned up the blood.
When she reacted.
He rushed to Xu Zhilan and shouted, "Master brother!"
Young Xu Zhilan was stunned.
He quickly calmed down, and knowing what had happened, he touched the little girl's head and handed her the jade pendant from his waist.
He simply said, "I haven't reached the stage yet to become a disciple. If you wish one day, you can bring this to the Daoist sect and ask for advice."
Before the little girl could fully understand what was said, the person on the stone disappeared.
Before disappearing, a ray of light was seen coming out of the other person's sleeve and falling on the dog.
She stared at the dog for a long while.
Finally, he pounced on the dog, and no matter how the dog moved, he pulled and mopped the dog away.
The picture disappears.
The stone wall returned to its original smooth appearance.
Empress Taining picked up the stone again and continued carving.
Master Xianyu was no longer worried about the Empress this time. He also roughly figured out that this was the other party's gain this time.
He poked Xu Zhilan's waist with his arm.
After looking at each other, they started pointing fingers silently!
It’s fine that the Empress doesn’t remember anything, but how come Xu Zhilan, such a grown-up and such a big dragon, can’t remember anything?
What are you talking about accepting disciples?
Do you take one from every person you meet? And then give a jade pendant to every person you meet?
Otherwise, how could I not remember it?
Or, can something like a jade pendant be given away casually?
In fact, it is true.
Xu Zhilan is difficult to explain.
After all, ever since he started out in the world, many people wanted to become his disciples, and he gave them many jade pendants. To him, these were just things he casually polished and wore, but they were enough to protect ordinary people.
Yes.
Xu Zhilan usually only gives jade pendants to mortals, or those with good character.
Reminded by the picture, he also remembered the little girl in his memory.
In fact, he had regained consciousness when the girl and the dog were confronting each other, but it was not convenient to interrupt his healing progress, so he did not finish it.
Perhaps he felt that the slightly unexpected development between the little girl and the dog was all as they pleased, and he felt very comfortable.
He watched quietly for a long time.
Until he finished his meditation, he gave away the jade pendant that was used to hone his sword skills.
Xu Zhilan does not think that mortals cannot embark on the path of cultivating immortals. There are thousands of ways in the world.
Even though the little girl had no spiritual roots, she still said "someday".
I just didn't expect it.
This 'someday' actually stretched out to thousands of years later...
Master Xianyu listened to Xu Zhilan's brief explanation of the cause and effect.
There was only one thought in my mind.
After all, how many jade pendants did Xu Zhilan give away?
