Chapter 015
The guard bowed and sent the person in, then returned to
Ouyang Zheng had a cold expression on his face. When the guard came forward to please him, he just nodded faintly.
The guard bowed and nodded as he escorted the person inside. He then returned to his seat at the door and sighed, "Ah, the gap between people is sometimes even greater than that between people and monsters."
The guard on the left couldn't help but glance at him and silently moved away from him. People like him who complain all day long and would rather scheme than practice diligently will never achieve anything great in their lives.
Although he is only an outer disciple, he is also ambitious. In the future, he must not often hang out with such people, so as not to get himself into trouble.
There weren't many people coming to the Yin Qi Xue on ordinary days, but today, three people came in just a short while.
Not long after Ouyang Zheng entered, another flamboyant and beautiful female cultivator hurried over.
The two looked at each other and groaned inwardly.
This person is not easy to offend. She is the daughter of Elder Jiufeng. Although she is only twenty years old, her cultivation has reached the peak of foundation building. She is considered a little genius in the sect.
The previous Ouyang Zheng had a similar status and position to her, and both were considered disciples who were key trainees of the sect.
However, the problem was that these two people had been disliking each other since some time ago. They often argued with each other on weekdays and would quarrel almost as soon as they met. Unexpectedly, they came to the Yin Qi Xue together today.
Both guards felt a little nervous. This guy had a very hot temper. Relying on his good talent and good background, he behaved in a very domineering manner and offended many people.
However, no matter how domineering he is, he still has his father to take care of him. The servants and low-level disciples who are bullied by him are not so lucky. If they are lucky, they will at most be stabbed. If they are unlucky, they may be whipped by her.
She came today with such a threatening look on her face, as if she was going to cause trouble. No wonder these two people were so uneasy.
"Fairy..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Is that bastard Ouyang Zheng in there?" Yang Wenyu had a bad look on her face and was obviously angry.
"Uh...ah!" The guard on the right was a little slow to answer, and was whipped in the face by her.
"Just answer the question quickly!" Yang Wenyu said angrily.
"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Ouyang just went in." The guard on the right said quickly, trying to endure the pain.
"Who else is with him?" Yang Wenyu asked again.
"No one..." This time the guard didn't dare to delay any longer, for fear of being whipped again.
"No?" Yang Wenyu's eyes widened. "Impossible! Would that little bitch Shen Shu miss such an opportunity?" She swung her hand and whipped her again. "I'm warning you, if you dare to lie to me..."
"No, no, how dare I lie to the fairy." The guard was terrified.
"Hmph, I don't think you'd dare!" Yang Wenyu snorted coldly, "So who has entered the Yin Qi acupoint today?"
The guard quickly said that a little child had also gone in.
"Child?" Yang Wenyu looked suspicious. "What child? How could a child get in there?"
The guard said with a bitter face: "I don't know either."
"What does that little kid look like?"
"Uh... well, it looks pretty good," the guard whispered.
Yang Wenyu raised her eyebrows. Pretty? How could a child be pretty?
But seeing that these two people didn't seem to be lying, she felt a stir in her heart, damn, could it be that the bitch Shen Shu used some kind of illusion to disguise herself and get in?
broken!
The woman had known that Ouyang Zheng would come here, so she came here specifically to wait for him.
Oh no, if she really succeeds, won’t she laugh at me to death in the future?
No, she must not let her succeed.
"Get out of the way! I want to go in!" she shouted with a cold face.
"Huh?" The guard was stunned. "That... token..."
"I'll supply you with tokens later! Get out of the way!"
Yang Wenyu's words scared the two guards. It has always been a rule that no one can enter without a token, but if they try to stop her, Yang Wenyu will obviously not show any mercy.
The two looked at each other and shook their heads in their hearts. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. If they can't stop her now, they will be reprimanded at most. But if they stop her... they might be targeted by this woman in the future.
Although she has a bad temper, she is good-looking and has many suitors. In the eyes of others, outer disciples like them can be crushed to death with just a little finger.
Why bother...
The two guards made way at the same time, and a red shadow flashed by, and Yang Wenyu's figure disappeared.
The guard on the left said in distress, "It's over. This mission was in vain."
The guard on the right said bitterly, "These direct disciples of theirs don't even treat us outer disciples as human beings."
The guard on the left rolled his eyes at him. There was no need to mention this well-known fact. Then, he heard the guard on the right whisper, "May they encounter a Hundred Demons Night Parade!"
The guard on the left was helpless. The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons was an event that only happened once in a hundred years. To use such an event to curse, was this really... a coward?
Even saying harsh words behind someone's back is so useless. This guy is really hopeless. Stay away from him in the future.

Lin Qingyang in the cave had no idea what was happening behind him.
The route in the Yin Qi Cave is complicated, with countless forks in the road. He has a map given by Zhang Yifan, which can be used for reference.
The underground cave he chose was divided into seven layers, and the first three layers had been explored thoroughly. If he wanted to collect some Yin-attributed materials, he could do so by following the map.
The Demon Fish Jin was on the third floor near the fourth floor. Lin Qingyang took Cheng Hui and walked down along the fastest route, killing those low-level monsters as they walked.
Yin energy can easily breed all kinds of evil things, especially in this kind of Yin-filled abyss, which has never seen sunlight for many years and is nourished by Yin energy. There are countless skeletons and ghosts.
Fortunately, this thing is not very powerful. As long as ordinary strong people are brave enough and don't get besieged, it is not difficult to deal with it. Lin Qingyang is already a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and he will not encounter any danger even if he closes his eyes.
In contrast, Cheng Hui was much worse. His body was very uncoordinated and he couldn't attack. Fortunately, the other party was of the same kind as him, and as long as he didn't take the initiative, the other party had no intention of paying attention to him.
Lin Qingyang dealt with the skeleton blocking his way with a wave of his hand. His strength was not too high, but he had rich combat experience.
Even though Cheng Hui had not seen other cultivators fight much, he still felt that his movements were clean and neat, and he did not look like he was untrained.
Feeling Cheng Hui's suspicious gaze, Lin Qingyang looked calm as an old dog, but he was a little nervous in his heart.
His previous action was intentional. He considered whether he should keep it secret, but his instinct told him not to do that!
Why not? He didn't know, but he knew that if he did so, it would probably lead to serious consequences.
It was as if... he had made a similar mistake before, which ultimately led to extremely tragic consequences.
So, he decided not to say anything. No matter what guesses Cheng Hui made, they were his own guesses, not his deliberate deception.
In order to divert Cheng Hui's attention as much as possible, Lin Qingyang began to tell Cheng Hui some things about the Xuanheng Realm.
He found that Cheng Hui, who had regained his intelligence, seemed to be very interested in all kinds of information, so he would chat with him whenever he had time. This not only kept him from getting bored, but also allowed him to deepen his understanding of this person through Cheng Hui's feedback.
"When talking about the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, we have to mention the underworld." Lin Qingyang took Cheng Hui's hand and walked slowly forward.
What the hell? Is there a hell in the world of cultivation?
Cheng Hui was confused.
The expression on his face successfully made Lin Qingyang laugh.
"Huihui is surprised that there is an underworld?"
Cheng Hui nodded vigorously.
Of course I was surprised. The underworld? Isn't that the place that governs reincarnation? If the underworld is real, then does Yama also exist? The Eighteen Levels of Hell? The Six Paths of Rebirth?
Lin Qingyang has not been able to interpret such complicated content from his eyes, but the curiosity in Cheng Hui's eyes is easy to see.
He then gave him a detailed explanation of the underworld.
The underworld is a very strange place. It borders many realms, but is independent of each realm.
There are countless realms in the world, and Xuanheng Realm is just one of them. Some realms can be connected to each other and communicate with each other through various means, but other realms may be completely isolated from the outside world. Unless there is a special "key", no one can enter or come out.
But no matter what kind of realm it is, it can intersect with the underworld, but the locations of these intersections may not be fixed, just as if the underworld is constantly moving, and it may not open a door in your realm at any time.
This door is called the Gate of Hell by everyone.
The gates of hell open, and hundreds of ghosts roam the night.
Once the Ghost Gate opens, the ghosts living in the underworld will take the opportunity to enter various realms.
The opening of the gates of hell is both a crisis and a challenge.
It is called a crisis because once the Ghost Gate is opened, the place where the Ghost Gate is opened will be hit by a large number of ghosts.
The underworld is vast, and powerful ghosts love to occupy it as kings. The opening of the Ghost Gate is completely random, and no one knows whether the Ghost Gate that opens this time is the territory of a big monster or the territory of a small minion.
If it was the former, then needless to say, wherever the Ghost Gate opened, there would be disaster, and the impact of ghosts was not so easy to withstand. If it was the latter, then you were lucky, and during the period when the Ghost Gate was open, you could even counterattack and enter the underworld.
Don’t think that there are no good things in the underworld. Many natural treasures can only be produced in the special environment of the underworld.
Entering the underworld is equivalent to entering a natural treasure house. As long as all the ghosts and monsters on the opposite side of the Ghost Gate are eliminated, the remaining time is the time for the monks to reap the rewards. As long as they don't risk running too far, they can basically reap a lot.
It’s a pity that the opening of the Ghost Gate is completely random, and the time and place cannot be inferred. Sometimes it is only open for a few hours. Not to mention treasure hunting, it may not even be discovered.
When Cheng Hui listened to Lin Qingyang telling her these things, her eyes widened, as if she was listening to a story.
In fact, it is similar. The story of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons can be found in many places, but the number of times the gates of hell are actually opened is very few.
There were also rumors that the yin energy in the Corpse Puppet Sect was so strong that a night parade of a hundred ghosts might occur.
Unfortunately, this idea has been circulating since the establishment of the Corpse Puppet Sect, but it has never been realized until now.
