Chapter 484 Goddess of Destiny
Qiu Wuji and Zhu Mengmeng have already reached deep underground of the brothel.
It was obvious that the brothel was just a facade, and inside was a strict demon cave, with many male and female demon monks living underground, each with their own cave, practicing. The overall atmosphere was much more eerie than the brothel on the ground, and the appearance was much more terrifying.
Above the tall building, there are fairy sleeves waving, the breeze is fragrant, and there are laughter and joy everywhere.
Underground below, corpses are refined, souls are captured, dry bones are controlled, and cauldrons are squeezed.
Although they are all hiding deep in their own caves, some clues can still be seen occasionally from the outside.
Zhu Mengmeng looked over and saw a skeleton staggering towards her, and then being pulled back by the corpse-refining monk. For no reason, she felt a little cute in the midst of the eerieness.
But no one spoke, and no one laughed.
The black-faced big man named Huozhu seemed to be majestic here. Wherever he passed, everyone bowed and saluted, not even daring to breathe.
Qiu Wuji asked casually, "From your name and the nature of this place, you should be a sect that practices the art of fire. Why are there so many techniques for controlling corpses and souls?"
Shi Huozhu didn't say much, but answered cautiously: "The South Pole is immortal, and the soul fire is inextinguishable."
Qiu Wuji asked: "This place is in the north, what is the South Pole?"
Room Fire Pig said: "Fire is not in the north and south, but between heaven and earth. For example, Room Fire Pig should be in the north, so why is it fire? East, south, west and north are the four poles, and so are earth, water, fire and wind. The four poles are just images, and you become attached to them if you take them seriously."
Qiu Wuji paused slightly, then nodded and continued walking without asking any more questions.
Chu Ge, sitting in front of the notebook, took a deep breath and felt as if he had suddenly been enlightened.
From this perspective, it's interesting...
The Fire Pig in the room led the two to the lowest part of the Ditan Temple, a place for cultivation in the center that was like an altar. Raging flames could be seen all around, with tongues of fire spitting out in all directions, emitting red and blue colors.
"This is where I practice in seclusion every day. Please enjoy your meal, grandma..." Shi Huozhu nodded and bowed with a smile.
Qiu Wuji said: "You are also a leader in your practice, and this place is your own cave nest. Why do you give it up so easily? Are you really so loyal to Yan Qianlie?"
Zhu Mengmeng also found it magical. If it was her father's friend who wanted to live in her own house, she would never agree to it even if she died! How could this person be so obedient?
"He who knows the current situation is a hero." Shi Huozhu said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the master, even if it's just Grandmother with a sword, we will make a river of blood. Even if you want to occupy this place, I will offer it with both hands, not to mention that I just want to borrow the underground fire..."
Qiu Wuji looked at him for a long while, and his desire to demolish the brothel was even less. He said helplessly: "You go ahead, just give us half an hour."
The Fire Pig walked out of the door backwards.
Zhu Mengmeng whispered to Qiu Wuji: "This guy is quite honest, but unfortunately he is ugly."
"Honest?" Qiu Wuji's eyes widened and he laughed dumbly: "Mengmeng, don't hang out in the Immortal Cultivation World alone in the future. Don't go out when I'm not with you."
Zhu Mengmeng was not convinced: "I have been in the business world for many years, and you are the ancient person who ran out of the mountains."
"Why, do you look down on ancient people?" Qiu Wuji sat leisurely in the center of the Altar of Earth: "I have seen more blood than you have seen water."
She stretched out her fingers and flicked them, and a layer of water appeared on her palms: "Look."
Zhu Mengmeng looked closely and saw the figure of Shi Huozhu outside the door reflected in the rippling water. She saw Shi Huozhu pinching a spell with his hands and muttering as if transmitting a voice thousands of miles away: "Master..."
The air was slightly turbulent, and it seemed as if twisted sparks formed a human face in front of him: "Come back and organize the people. Why are you disturbing me for no reason?"
Shi Huozhu lowered his voice and said, "The man and woman that the master reminded, the woman brought people to our base today, and now they have entered the core of the earth altar. There are many formations and prohibitions arranged inside. If the master wants to capture them, all he needs to do is..."
"Bang!" The human face phantom formed a fist and hit the fire pig's face viciously: "Fuck your grandma, do you want to kill me?"
Shi Huozhu was stunned: "My Lord, she calls herself your mother, which is totally disrespectful..."
"Fuck! Even though she's a big shot, you can't mess with her! Just treat her like your grandmother! I'll naturally compete with her in the future, but that's it, I still have a lot of things to do!"
The image disappeared, and Shi Huozhu rubbed his swollen face speechlessly, muttering to himself: "Fortunately, I was always careful to please that lady and didn't reveal any flaws... and she even distinguished between high and low. Why do I feel that she is really your mother? She is really a bastard who refuses to obey her mother."
Qiu Wuji glanced at Zhu Mengmeng from inside: "How is it?"
Zhu Mengmeng was dumbfounded: "This guy looks dark, strong and honest, why is he so sinister?"
"Demon Path, what do you think it is?" Qiu Wuji said, "There is a lot of foul and evil energy here that they have accumulated. I don't like it. Let's study the flames and leave. Yan Qianlie is in charge of the Demon Path plot line. We are just barging in."
Zhu Mengmeng looked at the sea of fire and said, "How can I try this? This is a sea of fire, not a pool of water!"
Qiu Wuji urged: "Don't you think it's cool? Jump into the sea of fire and spread your wings in the flames."
"Go away, I'm really not Suzaku!"
"Don't worry, just think of it as a pool."
"How can anyone think this is a pool?"
Qiu Wuji waved his hand, and the sea of fire in Zhu Mengmeng's eyes suddenly changed, looking like a sparkling swimming pool no matter how you looked at it.
Zhu Mengmeng scratched her head. The thing that was scary just now was suddenly not scary anymore, even though she knew it was just Qiuqiu's trick.
"This is knowledge and insight..." Qiu Wuji said leisurely: "Go."
Zhu Mengmeng stretched out her foot cautiously and tested the edge of the "pool".
It's a little warm, like a hot spring, but there's no burning sensation.
She gradually moved her calves down, and it felt just like taking a hot spring bath, without any harm.
Zhu Mengmeng was immediately happy, and soaked in the "water" comfortably, and said to Qiu Wuji: "Qiuqiu, come down and take a bath with me, it's quite comfortable."
In Qiu Wuji's eyes, it looked like a beautiful woman bathing in fire, and the scene had an extremely weird beauty.
Behind Zhu Mengmeng, there really was a faint image of a red bird flapping its wings.
The Vermillion Bird flaps its wings, the Phoenix is reborn, the two blend together perfectly. The essence of innate fire, the immortal soul flame, the shifting of the Southern Dipper, the trace of destiny.
Of course, it is just an image, and it does not belong to Zhu Mengmeng at all.
"Mengmeng..." Qiu Wuji hesitated and said, "Try to practice your supernatural powers here. I doubt whether your supernatural powers have a chance to fully mature. It all depends on this..."
Zhu Mengmeng was stunned: "You said you would only stay for half an hour, is that an hour?"
Qiu Wuji sneered: "Just because he wanted to secretly mobilize people to harm us just now, I will requisition this place. When you have a breakthrough, you can return it to him."
"..." Zhu Mengmeng stopped talking and secretly sensed her own spiritual power.
With the training methods summarized by Zhong Yi and others in the Black Room, and the methods learned when she went to the national special training with the Black Room, Zhu Mengmeng could clearly feel that her spiritual sea of consciousness was responding to the surrounding sea of fire. Originally invisible thin threads "whooshed" up from all parts of the sea of fire and connected with her own spirit.
Like a spider web.
It also looks like a red bird with its tail spread out.
It seems that we can see that beyond the inherent line of fate connection, there is another kind of line.
That is the soul fire connected to the corpses or skeletons outside. Just like a thread-pulling play, it extends from one's own spirit and is connected to every corpse.
So it seemed that their fate could be controlled, and the undead surrendered.
“Qiuqiu…”
"Hmm? What did you see?"
“I felt like I was playing World of Warcraft and saw the opening CG of Wrath of the Lich King.”
"...The day you descended into heaven, all the dead souls were calling your name, Mengmeng?"
"Go away! What I see is the fire blooming in the eyes of the dead. That is their eternal life."
Qiu Wuji hesitated: "Can you... control it?"
"No, I can see the principle... I feel like I can destroy other people's control. I can see the control lines of those magic monks on their own skeletons..."
“Meng Meng…”
"ah?"
"I still think that your ability is the most perverted one in the world." Qiu Wuji rubbed Zhu Mengmeng's face in amazement: "I now even suspect that our meeting is due to the fate of the protagonist... I don't know if you should be called... the goddess of fate."
