There are gaps in the road

Chapter 105 How Do I Die
At the entrance of the courtyard, there are two green and green welcoming pines, bypassing the pine trees along the stone road, the scenery in the courtyard suddenly brightens, reflecting the sky and the lake water of the distant mountain scenery, showing emerald blue.

The fine white sand is laid on the edge of the lake, forming an interesting contrast with the lake.

The maple tree, which seems to be in a constant autumn state, stands like a beauty by the lake, stretching out its fiery red leaves and swaying in the wind.

The small building by the lake is also very unique.

Looking in through the small open window, two girls in gorgeous dresses were still embroidering handkerchiefs and playing around.

"Is there anyone else here?"

"Ying Shu didn't say anything!" Ye Chuxiao was taken aback.

Then the two girls also found Ye Chuxiao. When they saw Ye Chuxiao, they were taken aback at first, but then they seemed to understand, and they both jumped out of the small building lightly.

Then in mid-air, the two of them turned into two light and beautiful butterflies. Judging from the colors of their wings, they were exactly the same color as the dresses they were wearing.

The butterfly flew to Ye Chuxiao's side, and then turned into a beautiful girl, kneeling at Ye Chuxiao's feet: "Yifeng, Lanying, I have seen the master!"

Butterfly demon?

Ye Chuxiao was still in a daze.

But he didn't feel the demonic aura on these two girls.

"No! It can't be a demon. There are no demons in Shenjing City. It's just that almost every demon will be registered in a special demon household department. There will be a special person to inquire every month. The management can be described as strict."

"Since Ying Shu has hidden away from the other courtyard, she won't ask for trouble anymore. They should be 'shushi', and they can also be called 'shikigami'. Shuxiu, beast master, demon master, spirit Even all have similar methods, which can turn spiritual things into human form and manipulate them."

"Compared to demons, these 'sorcerers' exist attached to their creators, and are far inferior in terms of independence."

"Of course, since they were enlightened by Ying Shu, they can also recognize my identity immediately according to the breath of Xindan."

Ye Chuxiao said to the two Butterfly Artisans: "It seems that you already know who I am, and I will take care of you in daily life in the future."

The two Butterfly Envoys immediately said in unison: "Yes!"

Ye Chuxiao didn't pay much attention to them, and walked into the small waterside building first, and sat down in an elegant place by the window to enjoy the maple leaves.

The two Butterfly Envoys served refreshments immediately.

"Go and find all the books on the Miaojing and the Sitting Death Pass here, I want to read them." Ye Chuxiao picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, and then ordered.

Among the two Butterfly Envoys, Lan Ying, a girl with a round face and a more immature face, with a slight dimple in her smile, looked at Ye Chuxiao's hand holding the pastry, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and was a little reluctant to part I followed my sister to move books.

When he turned his head away, he pursed his lips.

After a while, two Butterfly Envoys brought over two stacks of books, which were piled up at Ye Chuxiao's hand for easy reading.

Then he looked at Ye Chuxiao helplessly, as if he didn't know what to do next.

"Go play by yourself!" Ye Chuxiao waved his hand.

The two Butterfly Envoys retreated immediately.

Ye Chuxiao was completely immersed in the world of books.

It took most of the day to look at it, and when Ye Chuxiao came back to his senses, it was completely dark.

Among the Butterfly Envoys, Yifeng, who seemed to have a more mature temperament, was stirring the wick carefully, holding a bamboo stick in her slender hand, and flicking it up and down from a distance, as if afraid that the weak flame would splash into the flames. body.

"There is no need to be so troublesome. Even if the night is as dark as ink, as long as there is a glimmer of light, I can see without hindrance."

"Where's Lan Ying?" Ye Chuxiao put down the book in his hand, stretched his waist and asked.

"She has already rested, do you need me to wake her up?" Yifeng asked cautiously.

Looking at her appearance, she is not used to serving people, she is just cautious, but she has no clear concept.

Apparently, after Ying Shu instructed them to take care of the courtyard, she left it aside and let them rest here freely.

Perhaps, if Ye Chuxiao hadn't mentioned it, Ying Shu would have forgotten that there was still this courtyard, and maybe the two Butterfly Envoys who casually enlightened her.

"I'm a little hungry, do you have anything to eat?" Ye Chuxiao shook her head and asked Yifeng.

Yifeng said: "When the master left, the money left behind has been used up. The pastries that the master ate just now were exchanged by Lan Ying and I for needlework, and now they are gone... But there are still me and Lan Ying. Does the master want to use the nectar that Yingying brews herself?"

Ye Chuxiao nodded, and at the same time untied the money bag from her waist, and handed it to Yifeng.

"Use these silver taels first, and it's time to buy replacements in the yard, and that's okay."

"I don't have enough money, let me ask for it!" Ye Chuxiao said.

Yifeng took the money bag with a very obvious look of joy on her face.

The power and ability of the sorcerers are determined by the practitioners who enlighten them.

When Ying Shu enlightened the two Butterfly envoys, she only intended to use them as maidservants, so naturally she didn't give them any more abilities.

After Ying Shu forgot about them, although they don't have to eat three meals a day like ordinary people, it is not easy to live in this big city of Shenjing.

Now that the new owner Ye Chuxiao is ushered in, she seems to have a good temper... The most important thing is that she finally gave the money, which made Yifeng feel relieved.

Seeing Ye Chuxiao's tired face, Yifeng took the initiative to ask, "Is there something confusing about Master?"

Then she continued: "I've read most of the books in this yard, and I can still remember some of them. Maybe I can help the master answer questions."

Ye Chuxiao thought for a while, and then said: "There is a saying in the book that all monks need to sit through the death pass from the energy state to the wonderful state. The so-called death pass is to feel the way of death and life. The thought of all living beings enters into the wonder of endless life."

"What is the meaning of Wujianshou here?"

The knowledge that Ye Chuxiao had learned before was actually very general, and more detailed and detailed things still needed another way to get answers.

In fact, there are very few monks who can really start from elementary school and step into the realm of energy without any other support.

A small number of civilians can also buy spiritual roots, and monks who enter the realm of energy are also sent to wealthy families and taught by others.

If Ye Chuxiao was puzzled, she could of course ask Jin Sanniang and the others, but since Yifeng is here, it might be the same to ask her.

"Wujianshou means that the life span that is not disturbed by the outside world, the monks who can sense the thoughts of all living beings, sit in the death gate, and enter the wonderful realm, in addition to the normal life extension, also have the lifespan of Wujian, which is only related to the thoughts of their own souls. Relevant, not foreign matters."

"That is to say, even though his lifespan is over and the cultivator of Miaojing is dead in the eyes of everyone, his thoughts still linger and reverberate in the void, and will disappear completely when the lifespan of Wujian is over. "

When Ye Chuxiao heard the words, she immediately understood.

What enhances the wonderland is the lifespan of the monk's soul, also known as the longevity of the soul.

Even if the physical body dies, if the lifespan of the soul is still there, it can still survive in an alternative way.

In a sense, this is somewhat close to the concept of 'ghost', but it is not a ghost.

In the practice world, those ghosts in the conventional sense are not the continuation of the living after death, but the residual obsessions of the living after death, combined with some unique yin and filth in the world, they are actually a kind of ghost. A new kind of "energy life" has inherited the memory and cognition of a certain living person, but has undergone earth-shaking changes in personality.

"Because of Wu Jiangshou, there are monks who can have means to borrow rebirth, or turn to ghost cultivation, and only when they enter the wonderful realm can the possibilities of monks be broadened and they can have a more real meaning." Past life, present life'. As for the Wonderful Realm, it’s all after one death, and it’s all over!" At this time, Ye Chuxiao didn’t worry too much about his own existence.

There is no point in thinking about problems that you can't figure out for the time being.

Just treat it as Goldfinger taking him through time, and allowing him to borrow his body to be born again!

"How many ways are there to sit to death?" Ye Chuxiao asked Yifeng again.

Yifeng immediately said like a few treasures: "Usually there are seven methods of drinking poison, burying alive, flooding, cutting off breath, sealing orifices, coagulating blood, and tortoise breathing. The law is so powerful that it can be forced to death, but this is a cruel method, which means breaking the boat, it is too dangerous, and it is not enough to take it unless it is a last resort."

Ye Chuxiao nodded.

Sitting on the death pass is not really seeking death.

It is just to feel the moment of life and death, so as to open the door of the wonderful world from the heart.

Therefore, those methods that try to preserve the body as much as possible and can "never die" are the methods that can usually be used to sit and die.

Among them, the most used one is 'buried alive'.

The monk will find a burrow, or a cave, and bury himself completely, in the absolute darkness and silence, with the footsteps of death approaching, to perceive the moment of life and death.

Of course, I will also explain to my acquainted relatives and friends, and set a time. If the time is up, if I don’t break through the barrier, my relatives and friends will dig it out, and then push through the blood and forcefully wake it up.

The actual usage of other techniques such as drinking doves, flooding, cutting off the breath, and sealing the orifices are similar.

It is all to reserve the way ahead in advance, and then pinpoint the time and carry out the sit-and-death test.

Therefore, the guardian who is responsible for awakening must choose carefully.

If the entrustment is not human, it is game over.

Throughout the ages, there have been some unlucky people like people, who were really killed if they were put to death.

This is also the reason why ordinary commoner monks seldom stand out and reach the height of Wonderland.

As for those monks from wealthy families, their guardians are often their parents and elders, and their safety is sufficiently guaranteed.

Sitting on the dead end can be more reassuring and bold.

Commoner monks do have parents, but most of their parents are not monks. Even if they want to be the guardians, they still have more than enough energy.

It's not that Ye Chuxiao really doesn't understand the method of sitting to death, so he asked specifically.

Rather, he wanted to get some more different answers from Yifeng.

After all, because of the Nine Death Demon Art, these usual methods of sitting to death are ineffective for Ye Chuxiao.

In an instant, Ye Chuxiao, who was smashed into pieces, could be resurrected from the dead with the help of the nine-death demon skill. What use can these methods of burying alive, swallowing poison, flooding, and sealing the air be of any use to him?

"Sometimes being too unsolvable can also be troublesome."

"I'm not really immortal now, but a death attempt in the conventional sense, which has no effect on me. The energy consumed by sustaining damage for a moment is not as good as my spiritual root's automatic absorption of heaven and earth energy. "

"But if you really go to death and provoke those opponents who can't be provoked, you may be defeated one after another, and you will be completely dead. At that time, you will not even have a chance to enter the death gate and break through the wonderful realm. Even if it breaks through, it is impossible to leapfrog the level to kill the enemy, and it will still be beaten to death."

"This is really a headache." Ye Chuxiao frowned, thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, Yifeng stepped over, took the initiative to put her cold fingers on Ye Chuxiao's temples on both sides, and gently kneaded them.

"Master! I heard that there is an old tavern near the Chunyu Pavilion on Yaoshan Mountain outside the city. It sells a kind of wine called Zui Sheng Meng Shi. It is said that it can make people drunk. Things! I have acquaintances in the old tavern who can help." Yifeng said.

Ye Chuxiao opened his eyes: "Drunk and dreaming?"

"That's right! I also know that the most important material for blindly brewing wine in Zui Sheng Meng Shi is Drunken Dragon Grass."

"However, it is rumored that those who are going to get drunk and dream of death have to do something for the owner of the old tavern." Yifeng said.

With a slap, Ye Chuxiao slapped the waist card of Six Doors on the table: "This! Can I drink a jar of wine for nothing?"

Yifeng glanced at the silver badge of the Six Doors: "Master! If it is a gold medal, there may be a chance. If it is the God Catch brand, then it will be safe."

Ye Chuxiao said: "Is a tavern outside the city so tough?"

Yifeng said: "That's because the old man who runs the tavern is an old dragon!"

"It is said that he is the Yunwu Dragon King of Yaoshan, who used to be the Dragon King of Yunmeng Daze. After being kicked out of Yunmeng Daze by his own brother and wife, he opened a tavern on Yaoshan to help Daheng. Sorting out the dragon veins of Mount Yao to ensure smooth weather within a thousand miles, in exchange for a habitat on Mount Yao.”

Ye Chuxiao sat upright and looked at Yifeng carefully.

Seeing her beautiful eyebrows, rippling eyes, and plump figure, although she is a mortal color, she is the best in the worldly desires.

"It seems that I have underestimated you!" Ye Chuxiao said with a smile.

Yifeng didn't stop massaging Ye Chuxiao, but moved her fingers from her temples to her shoulders and arms, kneading carefully, lowered her head and said shyly: "My sister and I have to live these years, because we are different, so we also Deal more with some different types, and know some gossip inside and outside the city of Shenjing."

"Okay! Then you accompany me out of the city tomorrow, to the old tavern in Yaoshan, and meet this Yunwu Dragon Lord." Ye Chuxiao made a final decision.

In fact, with his current state, he has no other choice.

After all, the method of sitting to death in the conventional sense is useless to Ye Chuxiao.

There was nothing to say all night, and when the next morning, Ye Chuxiao, together with Yifeng and Lanying, left Shenjing City in a carriage and went straight up Yaoshan.

Shenjing City is located at the foot of Yaoshan Mountain, and Yaoshan Mountain is the ancestor of Daheng Mountains and the king of ten thousand peaks.

As the starting place of the Great Eternal Dragon Vein, Mount Yao is naturally also valued by the royal family. From the mountainside to the top of the mountain, most of the places where the energy of the world is thick and hoarded have already been owned.

Either it was given to the king of the county, or to the princess. Even those ministers in the court, few of them could be rewarded with a manor on Mount Yao.

On Mount Yao, apart from the courtyards and manors of princes and princesses all over the place.

There are also more than a dozen temples and Taoist temples affiliated to the royal family, and those enshrined in them are all Buddhist and Taoist masters attached to the royal family.

Some of these temples and Taoist temples are oriented to the secular world. When the season is good, they are open for tourists to come in to enjoy flowers and worship Buddha.

However, there is also a part of them who are completely secluded from the world, shrouded in formations all year round, and cannot be seen.

The old tavern in Yifengkou is located on the emerald peak in the north of Yaoshan Mountain, near the Chunyu Pavilion of [-] scenic spots in Yaoshan Mountain, halfway up the mountain.

At the Chunyu Pavilion, the light rain is like fog, which never fades all year round. When the sun shines, a large number of rainbow lights jump and cluster in the mountain stream, and the elves are lively and fascinating.

After passing the Chunyu Pavilion, looking from a distance, I saw a seemingly ordinary three-story attic.

Perhaps it is because the weather is extremely hot in midsummer, so there are more tourists who come to this mountain to escape the summer heat.

The old tavern was also full of guests and friends at this time.

It was full of guests inside and out.

The tourists are sitting on the banks of the cliffs of the mountain stream, enjoying the cool breeze, drinking and eating, and enjoying the scenery. They are very happy.

On the other side of the old tavern, there was a long row of kneeling monks, which spread directly from the side door to the side of the Chunyu Pavilion.

"They all came to beg the old Dragon Lord to reward them with drunkenness and dreams!" Yifeng whispered to Ye Chuxiao.

"Do so many people need to be drunk and dream of death? Is the conventional method of sitting and dying so risky?" Ye Chuxiao asked in surprise.

Yifeng smiled lightly and said: "Master! These people don't want to drink for themselves, but want to resell them for a good price, and pretend to be miserable at Lao Longjun's place! And some of them are the patrons of the nobles in Shenjing City. The purpose of staying here is that if Lord Long is in a good mood and bestows a chance, it will be a profit."

Ye Chuxiao said: "Didn't you say before that as long as you do things for Lao Longjun, you can have a drunk life?"

Yifeng said: "The things that the old dragon needs people to do, how can ordinary people do it? Most of them can't get into the eyes of the old dragon."

As he spoke, he changed the topic: "Master, you are different. With your ability and demeanor, Lao Longjun would definitely be willing to form a good relationship with you."

It's useless to talk nicely, things have to go so smoothly.

When I entered the tavern, before I saw Lao Longjun, I saw a strong man with thick arms and black hair, walking sideways, looking at them as if his eyes were on the top of his head: "Please wait in line for food and drink. There are still ten tables of guests ahead, and it is estimated that there will be another hour or so before there are vacancies."

"If you come here to ask for drunk life, dreams, and death, then leave your name, identity, and the means you are good at, and make a record. If the old man of the Dragon King needs it, he will ask someone to find you."

Ye Chuxiao was slightly dazed.

This is not the same as what he imagined!

Shouldn't it be that Lao Longjun has been waiting for him, a predestined person, for a long time?
Then not only give him a generous reward, but also give him a difficult task full of adventures and adventures?

It's all written in the novel!
What the hell is waiting in line for notifications?

Yifeng stepped out first, with a beautiful smile on her face: "It's General Xie!"

"I'm the younger sister recognized by Big Sister Peng, and I'm here to talk to my sister today."

The strong man's eyeballs, which seemed to have stretched to the top of his head, fell down, and he glanced at Yifeng. His previous business-like expression of not allowing strangers to enter became much more attractive.

"Since it's Big Sister Bang's younger sister, let's go in! First, wait in the private room No. B and No. [-], and serve you some food and wine. When Big Sister Bang finishes her work, I'll come to see you." The strong man said.

There was also a group of people waiting on the side, they looked like some tourists from other places, and they were not badly dressed. When they heard that the strong man directly arranged private rooms for Ye Chuxiao and others, they immediately became unhappy and seemed to be making a fuss.

The strong man squinted and said: "If you don't like it, get out! Who will wait patiently?"

These people from other places were about to make a fuss, but they were stopped by local friends next to them.

Then he pulled out the door of the tavern.

The tourists from other places were especially unhappy, and they still shouted outside the door: "I am in Kuocangmen, and I have never been insulted like this before."

Following the guidance of the strong man, a group of three people sat in a private room that was not spacious.

After a while, a puppet waiter brought the cooked food and wine, which smelled and looked delicious... but there were only some vegetables, beef, mutton and pork, and there was no river fresh seafood.

Pushing open the window, the cool wind outside the window swayed along the trees in the distance, and was sent into the private room, and the feeling of comfort also offset the dullness in the private room.

The three of them didn't move their chopsticks much, they just chatted.

After waiting for about half an hour, I saw a fat woman walking in with two plates of dishes with enthusiasm on her face.

"Hey! My good girl, after such a long time, you finally remembered to see me as a god-sister." The fat woman came in with a big smile on her face, and greeted Yifeng.

At the same time, he said to Lan Ying: "Little sister Lan is here too! It's great! Stay a few more days, and my sister will take you to eat, drink, and play around."

"In Yaoshan Mountain, there are 49 secret places. Although most of them have been occupied and reduced to private scenery, there are still a few places to see. This season is the most beautiful."

Saying that, the fat woman finally noticed Ye Chuxiao, looked at Ye Chuxiao with probing eyes, then nodded and said hello, and then said narrowly to Yifeng: "Is it a good match?"

"It looks like it has some strength, it doesn't look like an unreliable person."

"But he has ruthless eyebrows and eyes, and he is a guy who only cares about cultivation and has no feelings. My sister... If he is sorry for you, my sister will teach him for you."

The fat woman spoke bluntly and seemed full of confidence.

Yifeng shyly said: "What did sister say, this is my master!"

"This is your master? He doesn't seem to have the ability to enlighten your cultivation... I'm afraid he inherited it from somewhere!"

"Looks like he's a son of a family!" The fat woman looked at Ye Chuxiao with more scrutiny.

"I don't care what your status is. If you want to rely on your status, what will you do to my two sisters? I, an old clam spirit, will not be polite to you." The fat woman said to Ye Chuxiao.

Ye Chuxiao said: "It's just an ordinary employment relationship, don't worry, Big Sister Bang."

Yifeng said: "Eldest sister! My master wants to exchange a jug of wine with Lao Longjun. I wonder if you can help me think of a way?"

The fat woman whispered to Yifeng: "It's not a coincidence for you to come here. It's raining frequently. In previous years, the Dragon King and his old man would not be able to get drunk. This year is no exception. The wine... ·He doesn't have enough to drink himself, so how can he have surplus to sell?"

"If you can wait, you can wait for a few more months. When the water is dry in winter, I will ask the Dragon King to save face. Would you like to give some to you?"

It is only summer now, and there is still more than half a year until winter, how could Ye Chuxiao be willing to wait so long outside the Wonderland?

Cultivation is a race against time.

What's more, now Tang Sutong sacrificed himself to complete the way of heaven in Daheng, and it took only 20 years before and after.

Now that there are about 18 years left, how can there be such a delay?

"Sister Bang! If it's convenient, can you introduce Lord Long for me?"

"Ye Chuxiao, the silver badge of the next six doors, is also the chief prison officer of the Ministry of Punishment. He has some ability and can do some practical things for the Dragon Lord." own advantage.

Big Sister Peng said: "It's just a silver medal, and the gold medal is nothing more than that! If you are a catcher, you can see the Dragon King immediately."

"Actually, Eldest Sister is also doing it for your own good. The Dragon King has ordered a lot of drinks at this time. If he sends you to Yunmeng Daze to deliver a letter to the princess, you may never return."

Ye Chuxiao thought: "Good guy! This is still a Tim Long!"

"Before I heard Yifeng talk about the old dragon, he was driven out of Yunmeng Daze by his younger brother and his wife together, and lost the position of Dragon King. I thought he was just unlucky, with green dragon horns on his head. Now listen to this tone , to actually miss the wife who betrayed him?"

"It won't be, I still want to get the mattress back!"

"If that's the case... then we're bothering you!" Ye Chuxiao didn't force it either, he could think of other ways if he couldn't get drunk.

There is not only one path to practice, and there is no need to die.

Instead of getting entangled here with an old Tianlong who has been betrayed and emotionally hurt, Ye Chuxiao might as well think about whether he can ask some god to beat him to the brink of death, and then take the opportunity to sit in death Pass, break through the wonderland.

"Wait! You can't leave!" A voice suddenly sounded outside the private room.

A monk broke in.

"This private room should belong to us, but you stole our place and you want to leave without leaving anything behind?" the monk asked angrily, smelling of alcohol.

The fat woman sneered and clapped her hands.

Two tall and thin men immediately appeared from the side, clamped the monk, and were about to drag him out.

"Let go! I am the young head of Kuocang Sect! How dare you disrespect me?"

"I asked my father to destroy your restaurant." The monk shouted loudly.

It looks like a spoiled big 'child'.

However, in an instant, Ye Chuxiao suddenly felt the spread of 'death energy', and the sword intent of the Longevity Saber naturally swayed in his heart.

After Xin Dan possessed her body, it had become Ye Chuxiao's 'instinct' to feel the breath of death.

"Something's wrong! He's making trouble on purpose, I'm afraid he's trying to attract attention, and there are other people making trouble elsewhere. The person who came is not kind... Although he didn't come for me, he must have come for the old tavern." Ye Chu Xiao took a look at this cultivator, his body was full of dead lines... There was no need to use a long-lived knife at all.

This also means that the spread of death energy was not directly triggered by this monk.

He's just a fuse!
