Heavenly Books and Chess Talk

Chapter 27
Wave after wave of borderless darkness eroded.

The dome, the four walls, and the ground here are all paved with white bones.

The bones of these huge beasts have been petrified due to their age, but they are still as hard as ever. The breath alone can make people kneel on the ground, not daring to resist.

The bony bone spurs are all over every corner of the place crookedly. The ferocious and simple appearance makes one wonder how brilliant the owner of these bones must have been countless years ago.

Yun Qing sat in the middle of the empty pagoda, quietly meditating on a huge and flat skull.

In his feeling, about three days had passed, but this illusion didn't show any signs of fading.

But he was not in a hurry, anyway, there should be no danger on Amon's side.

The illusion is mostly constructed based on the flaws in his heart. If it weren't for this time, Yun Qing himself would not have expected that his heartbreak would be here.

Yaoyan Tower.

The burial place of thousands of monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is also a place where they are exiled and banned forever.

The Yaozu will come here when they feel that their death is approaching.

From ancient times to the present, no one knows how many monsters have buried their bones here, let alone how many shocking existences have turned their corpses into a part of the Yaoyan Pagoda.

In short, once you enter here, there is no precedent for going out.

It was Yun Qing who stole the suppressed Heavenly Book from Yaoyan Pagoda.

As for why he and Amon appeared in such a place, he had no memory at all.

"Am I afraid... I know it's an illusion, but I dare not go out." Yun Qing smiled bitterly, and finally decided to get up.

If you don't even try, how will you know how to break the illusion?

He straightened his clothes and jumped down from the [-]-meter-high huge bone, like a shooting star, drawing a bright color in the endless darkness.

A moment before landing, pitch-black flames ignited from under his feet, and the landing slowed down, and Yun Qing stood steadily on the white bone spur below.

These terrifying monster breaths did not bring him too much pressure, but the endless darkness did make people feel a sense of hopelessness.

Yun Qing walked on these bones step by step, jumping from one to another, but there were still countless bones waiting for him.

This is a road with no end in sight, and he seems to have been walking on this road with Amon since he had memory.

This road seems to be spiraling downwards, with neither a beginning nor an end.

Along the road, there were only white bones and white bones. After a long time, Yun Qing couldn't help wondering if there was something wrong with her mind.

At that time, at least Amon was by his side, but now, he is the only one walking in the illusion.

Nothing but darkness and bones.

There was no light in Yaoyan Pagoda, and the endless darkness filled all the emptiness here, and he couldn't even see himself.

All the while, walking down the bones, Yun Qing couldn't help thinking wildly, for example, whether he was going around in a big circle.

Yun Qing sighed: "So that's how it is. The very beginning is the place with the biggest loophole in my heart."

Whether it is the resolute capture of the inheritance of the Great Sun Hei Tianlun in the Qingdi Shrine, or the desperate attempt to plan for the Heavenly Altar at the Hundred Flowers Festival, these are all based on one foundation, that is, he has no way out. Return.

Otherwise, there is only one dead end.

As long as he takes the heavenly book and walks out of this tower, there will be no chance of turning back.

He can only survive by dying again and again, by all means, and desperately.

But what if the time is turned back to before he stole the heavenly book?

If Yun Qing knew about all the difficulties ahead and narrowly escaped death, would he still choose to rush out of this Pagoda of White Bone, this eternal dead place, with the Book of Heaven?

This is the purpose of this illusion.

"If I don't have the courage to take the first step, will I be trapped in this illusion forever?" The black flames under Yun Qing's feet intensified, burning upwards from the ankle, and finally almost half of him The body is covered in the flickering flames.

Since he dared to go against the sky and steal the Heavenly Book back then, of course he dared to walk this incomparably dangerous endless road of bones again now!
With such a step forward, the true energy is close to exhaustion, but the black magic flame on Yun Qing's body is getting more and more arrogant.

"arrive……"

As his will became firmer and his momentum became more and more high-spirited, the exit of Yaoyan Tower was getting closer and closer.

The little glimmer of light at the exit was also the beginning of his escape.

"Go out from here, keep going until you get out of the control of the heaven..."

Yun Qing took a deep breath and took the last step.

This choice is very important to him. He is convinced that the path he is taking now is not forced, but a real choice in his heart.

The darkness in his mind was swept away, and a huge amount of information poured into his soul, and what appeared before his eyes was the gate of the dilapidated temple.

Time seemed to return to before they entered the temple in an instant, and those experiences in Yaoyan Pagoda seemed like a dream.

He glanced around Song Liyou and Zheng Zhenzhen who were in a daze, and Aman who was completely in a daze.

The temple in front of me seemed to have experienced thousands of years in an instant, and turned into fly ash in an instant.

The temple collapsed into ruins, and a few pages of golden paper danced without wind, fluttering and falling on Yunqing, Song Liyou and Zheng Zhenzhen.

Yun Qing took one, and the golden paper turned into fine golden light, sinking into his body.

"Ahhh!!" Zheng Zhenzhen hugged Yun Qing as if he had just recovered.

"...What's the matter?" Yun Qing hadn't had time to digest the contents of the golden paper.

"Did you see it?" Zheng Zhenzhen looked at Yun Qing with a pale face.

"I think what we saw should not be the same thing." Yun Qing said, looking at Song Liyou.

His face was a little ugly, and he reached out to pick up the golden paper in front of him.

"Is this inheritance?" Song Liyou's piece of golden paper also turned into dots of golden light and entered his body.

Zheng Zhenzhen didn't realize it at this time, she picked up the one in front of her and said to Yun Qing: "I remember we lived in this temple together, and then your injury suddenly deteriorated, and you lost your breath soon... Then the monk said There is a way to save you, he wants me..."

Zheng Zhenzhen's face turned pale suddenly, showing a look of wanting to vomit: "I want you to feed your heart... I'm disgusted to death!"

"Then did you kill someone for him?" Song Liyou asked maliciously, if she killed a life, then Zheng Zhenzhen would be regarded as having broken her Dao heart, if she didn't kill, then it would be considered to provoke the relationship between her and Yun Qing .

"Of course not!" I didn't expect Zheng Zhenzhen to answer it as a matter of course, "If you hurt life with death, the sage forbids it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, look, this is the person you want to take on the road." Song Liyou pushed Yun Qing with his elbow.

"I gave him my heart." Zheng Zhenzhen continued to reply.

Song Liyou's complacent expression froze on his face, his eyes were full of disbelief, he looked at Zheng Zhenzhen for a long time without saying a word.

Yun Qing's expression didn't change much: "It seems that the inheritance in this temple has set up some barriers to torture Dao's heart... Where is Li You? What happened to you?"

Song Liyou's expression turned ugly.

"It's nothing."

"It's fine if you don't want to say it." Yun Qing didn't want to bother him too much right now.

He continued: "It seems that when we walked to the gate of this temple, we fell into an illusion, and then everyone passed a certain test of Taoism and accepted the inheritance from this temple."

"What did you get?"

"Give up your life!" Zheng Zhenzhen rushed to say.

This is a small path in Guiling Temple, which is quite profound, and it can even bring the dead back to life after it is completed.

However, it also has extremely high requirements for Dao Xin.

It is said that this line of inheritance has been broken for several generations, and no one has ever completed it.

Yun Qing thought about Zheng Zhenzhen's experience, and it really looked like a test of the heart of "sacrificing one's life to help the world".

"Why should I tell you?" Song Liyou sneered.

"It's the same whether you say it or not. Anyway, there is no lineage in Buddhism that can teach ghosts." Yun Qing always looked at him indifferently.

Song Liyou was so angry that his nose was crooked: "What about you? It seems that there is no lineage in Buddhism that is compatible with the way of demons, right?"

"Unfortunately, what I got was not the inheritance of Buddhism, but the book of dreams from the side door." Yun Qing stretched out his hand in front of him, and Song Liyou's sight was instantly flooded by countless peach blossoms, and there was also a faint fragrance of flowers.

But in the blink of an eye, he recovered.

"Is this what dragged us into the illusion and tortured our hearts?" Song Liyou said with a dark face.

"That's right, it seems that the old monk was transformed from a book of dreams." Yun Qing nodded, "As soon as I broke the illusion and took down the book of dreams, you also escaped from the dream, right?"

"That's right..." Song Liyou still had a bad expression on his face, "But if I remember correctly, the Mirage Floating Dream Sect was wiped out hundreds of years ago, how could this lineage appear here?"

"This ruined temple has something to do with Guiling Temple. You know, none of the seven holy places is clean." Yun Qing explained casually.

There are eight hundred sects and three thousand sects. These are all casual cultivators outside the orthodox.

Although the book of mirage and floating dreams is not an orthodox practice inheritance that can be obtained, it also has its unique features.

Song Liyou has been in Taoism for many years, and Zheng Zhenzhen is the descendant of the Yellow Emperor. Even the old monks who have been transformed by this mirage dream book have been trapped here for so many days. It is unique in the world.

You know, they are all spiritual and wise cultivators, and the old monk is just a dead thing, but none of them can defeat each other head-on.

"Did you know this is the place of Guiling Temple?!" Song Liyou was furious, he finally understood that Yun Qingming knew what was going on here and even deceived them.

Here Yun Qing is sorting out the cause and effect of the whole thing.

He thought that there was the secret method of the soul of Guiling Temple - Lianxinxukong Zangguan, so he deliberately slowed down the matter of Jiuming City in the south, and came to this ruined temple by a long way.

Unexpectedly, it is true that it is related to Guiling Temple, and it is true that there is a legacy of inheritance, but there is something wrong with the content of the inheritance.

If the things he detected in the Jingtian Palace with the Heavenly Book were wrong, it could only explain one thing.

He was tricked by that terrifying national teacher.

The strength of the other party is not something he can speculate now. Since he is a person outside the picture, he must have the ability to conceal the secret or even tamper with the secret.

In other words, the other party knew of his existence when he entered the Jingtian Palace, so why should he wait until the Hundred Flowers Festival?

Or even the Hundred Flowers Festival was caused by him deliberately releasing water, so what did he mean by pointing him to this road so vaguely?
In any case, he at least gave Yun Qing a clear guideline—there is a spiritual inheritance in Guiling Temple, and the idea of ​​​​contemplation of Lianxin Void.

Since there is a way, Yun Qing dares to go on, he has always been willing to let go.

Just a few thoughts flashed by, and Yun Qing had already made up her mind.

Yun Qing's eyes turned to the south, and the heavenly book was running at full strength.

On the wall of Jiuming City, the white-haired old tea uncle just happened to look towards where he was. The two were separated by thousands of miles, and their eyes met in the void.

"Forget it, Xie Yao is safe in his hands for the time being...then the rest..." Yun Qing thought.

"Are you listening to me?" Song Liyou had blue veins on his forehead, he felt that Yun Qing was avoiding his topic.

"Song Liyou, let me ask you, are you willing to completely get rid of the previous karma and start over?" Yun Qing didn't answer his question, but instead asked him another question.

"Don't change the subject, I'm asking you..." Song Liyou still felt that he was deliberately avoiding it.

Yun Qing interrupted him: "I'm only asking once, are you willing to completely get rid of the previous karma, smash the foundation, and rebuild the whole life?"

"..." Seeing that he was serious about what he said, Song Liyou couldn't help being silent for a while, "I was enlightened when I destroyed my body, why do you need to ask again?"

Yun Qing nodded, and said with some approval: "I said before, I want to show you a way."

"You mean...?"

"Now go to Jiuming City in the south and look for this old man." Yun Qing waved his hand, and used the mirage technique he just learned to transform into the appearance of Uncle Cha, "Let him smash the foundation for you and rebuild the ghost way."

"Ghost way?! Are you kidding me?" Song Liyou almost jumped up.

"It's not those messy inheritances, but the orthodoxy of ghosts in Fengdu City, you won't regret it." Yun Qing waved away the phantom, "You don't have to go, but we still have to say goodbye."

"What do you mean? Yunqing, are you leaving?" Zheng Zhenzhen was listening quietly, but when Yunqing said "don't pass", she became nervous.

"It's not me, it's us." Yun Qing smiled gently at her.

"You guys? What are your plans?" Song Li was puzzled, "Wouldn't it be safer to add me? Don't forget who rescued you from the Temple of Heaven this time!"

"We're going to Mianfenglang, don't you..." Yun Qing raised her sleeves to hide her narrow smile.

Mianfeng Gallery only accepts female disciples.

Is Yun Qing addicted to pretending to be a woman?

"Ah bah!" Song Liyou spat while thinking this way: "I know what you mean, although I don't know what idea you have for Mianfenglang, but since it is the orthodox inheritance that can become the Dao, I still Willing to give it a try."

"By the way, Xie Yao is probably also in Jiuming City now..." Yun Qing added.

"Don't think of me helping him!" Song Li said angrily, he and Xie Yao had always been at odds.

"If you think too much, there will be great chaos in the south. At that time, you won't be able to take care of yourself. How can you help him? I just want to tell you." Yun Qing shook her head.

Song Liyou flicked his sleeves, walked to the edge of the cliff, and suddenly seemed to remember something, he turned around and said, "I always thought you knew a little too much...whether you were in the Jingu before, it might be the Hundred Thousand Mountains There are secret records, but the world is changing, how do you know that Xie Yao is in Jiuming City at this time, how do you know that this old man can help me rebuild the ghost way, and how do you know that there will be great chaos in the south?"

Yun Qing shook her head and did not answer.

Song Liyou smiled brightly: "Forget it, I didn't expect you to tell me. Although I have had a lot of festivals with you, if the rebuilding of the ghost way goes well this time, I will definitely repay you!"

"Bon voyage." Both Yun Qing and Zheng Zhenzhen looked at his gradually blurred figure.

Song Liyou waved goodbye, relying on the emptiness to control the wind, he fell straight down the cliff.

"When the wind blows and the snow comes, the vain leaves sorrow; when one cannot bear to be drunk, one leaves one's life in vain; the flourishing flower is about to pass away, and the gentleman leaves the scriptures; the sun and the moon have no light, and the sage leaves his virtue!"

He came here with all his heart, but he should also leave with singing!
