Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 566: Marshal Tianpeng's Dharmakaya, Walking in the Underworld
At the foot of Longhu Mountain, beside Luxi River.

After explaining a few things to Zhang Huaiyi, Aunt Lan began to cast a spell.

She stood in front of the altar and took out two magical instruments, a short knife about one foot long with a red rope wrapped around the handle and a large iron ring at the end. On the large iron ring were many small iron rings, which jingled when waved.

Zhang Zhiwei recognized this thing. Feng Tianyang had also used it when he was in the Lu family compound.

In the witch lineage, it is called the bell knife, in the Dharma teaching, it is called the ringing knife, and in the master teaching, it is called the master knife. In fact, they are all the same thing.

Aunt Lan stepped on the Yu step, her body was flexible, her movements were swift and agile, she spun and jumped on the platform, as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a swimming dragon, which made Uncle Zhang Yi dizzy and fascinated. The shadows in those old memories seemed to be slowly overlapping.

After completing the Yu steps and reciting the incantation, Aunt Lan raised the master's sword in her hand above her head, crossed the two swords and gently scratched them, "ding ding ding", the master's sword made a crisp sound.

Along with this sound, large puffs of black fog suddenly emerged from the Luxi River.

The black fog was rolling like a flood that had been released from a sluice gate, pouring down violently and drowning Zhang Zhiwei and his group, including Aunt Lan.

In the thick fog, everyone felt the air around them suddenly drop in temperature, and cold winds blew up. They seemed to have entered the underworld and some terrifying place.

This made Zhang Huaiyi panic, and he immediately recited the Heart Purification Mantra silently. In an instant, a blue light flashed in his eyes and he regained his clarity.

Zhang Zhiwei looked calm as he looked around. Just a moment ago, they had penetrated some kind of barrier and entered the inner world, which is the spiritual world.

"Is this the way to pass through the underworld? It is indeed different from the technique I used to travel through the underworld." Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself.

Although his Tongyou technique can also travel through the underworld, it cannot travel thousands of miles in an instant like the Fire Escape. Even if it passes through the spiritual world, the speed of travel is still the same as in the normal world.

In fact, because there are many spiritual imprints left by the dead in the spiritual world, it is more troublesome for him to travel through it than in the normal world.

So he never thought of traveling in this way.

As for using the hidden way to lurk and then launch a surprise attack...

He has never tried it. With his strength, there are few people who are worthy of him doing so.

However, although he has never used it, Zhang Zhiwei is not optimistic about using Tongyou to lurk.

In his opinion, the core of the art of communicating with the spirits is to curse and kill. If the opponent is weak, he can directly summon his soul into the spiritual world and kill him.

If the opponent is very strong, or even has a very strong horoscope, is immune to all evil and has no taboos, then you can also influence him in the spiritual world, constantly call out to his soul, interfere with his mind, and damage his earth soul and heaven soul like boiling a frog in warm water.

The horoscope of heavenly soul master and earth soul master.

With a strong soul and a good destiny, he is protected by great luck and everything he does goes smoothly as if with divine help.

His soul is weak and his fate is bad. He is unlucky every other day and can easily choke to death even if drinking cold water.

The earth soul is strong, the horoscope is strong, and it is perfectly isolated from the interference of the spiritual world. It is invulnerable to evil spirits, and the body is strong. It is impossible for things like encountering ghosts or being possessed by evil spirits to happen to you.

The earth soul is weak, the eight characters are weak, the body is frail and sickly, it is impossible to isolate oneself from the interference of the spiritual world and it is easy to be possessed by evil spirits.

The manifestation is that you feel like you are being stared at all times. You dare not close your eyes for a long time even when washing your hair, for fear of seeing something you shouldn't see.

It can be said that the secret passage is an extremely insidious tactic.

Once the Heavenly Soul and the Earthly Soul are destroyed by Tongyou, the person's soul will become a piece of meat on a chopping board, to be slaughtered at will, and there will be many inexplicable ways of death.

At the beginning, the former Prince Su Shunqi wanted to call his soul into the spiritual world.

But Shanqi didn't expect that his life soul was as strong as a mountain and his earth soul was as hard as iron, and they would directly follow the passage and kill him.

Therefore, the usage of Tongyou is not as simple and crude as jumping into the spiritual world and then jumping out to beat people.

Moreover, there is a barrier between the Yin and Yang worlds.

Crossing this barrier causes a lot of noise and takes some time.

Those movements are enough for people to react, and the time is enough for people to make countermeasures.

Of course, the main reason for this is that his understanding of Tongyou was something he realized on his own and it is not a complete and authentic version.

The treatment of some details seems a bit too rough. If it were a complete passage, perhaps the experience would be different.

"I have killed Shanqi, who knew the complete art of communicating with the underworld. I can only improve it slowly by myself in the future. I wonder how Aunt Lan wants to borrow a passage to the underworld? Can you give me some inspiration?"

In a flash of thought, they entered the spiritual world.

"Eh... that's a bit weird, how can you see 360 ​​degrees?"

Zhang Zhiwei was puzzled, and when he looked down, he saw another head beneath his own.

No, there were three heads, all of which were hideous and terrifying, like evil spirits.

Looking down again, he was wearing a golden armor covered with thorns, with eight arms, each holding a weapon, and a Kuilong under his feet.

"Four heads and eight arms, green face and fangs, this is Tian Peng Zhen Jun. Tian Peng Zhen Jun is the incarnation of my heavenly soul, and I placed him in the hall space three feet above my head..."

Zhang Zhiwei soon figured out the reason. In the past, when he used the art of communicating with the spirit world, he used the earth soul to cover his physical body, hiding the secret from heaven, and then used the sky soul to connect to the spiritual world and thus enter.

But Lan Gu's method is different from his. She does not use the earth soul to conceal the heavenly secret. Instead, she directly uses the heavenly soul to reside in the body and then enter.

Because his soul was transformed into the guardian general - Tianpeng Zhenjun, after he came in, he naturally took on the image of Tianpeng Zhenjun.

"In this state... the guardian deity will be much stronger in the spiritual world than in the outside world!"

Zhang Zhiwei clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and all four heads inhaled at the same time.

His breath was like a whale sucking water, sucking all the black fog around him into his lungs.

The black fog in the spiritual world is naturally Qi. In layman's terms, it should be Yin Qi. It is definitely not good to inhale it into the body.

But Zhang Zhiwei was not afraid. Not to mention that he had the Samadhi True Fire that was specifically designed to burn the power of the soul, even the boiling thunder lava in the body of Tianpeng Zhenjun, the number one war god of the Thunder Department, could refine those Yin Qi in an instant.

He absorbed all the black energy, and the surrounding scenery gradually appeared.

The white clouds above my head disappeared, replaced by inky black evening clouds, as dark as mountains, making it almost impossible to breathe.

At this moment, he was standing on a black boat, sailing on a gray river. A lantern flashing green light hung on the bow, and a short figure was rowing the boat.

"What happened? Why is the protective black mist gone?"

The figure turned around and looked over, cursing. It was Aunt Lan.

The green lantern shone on her impatient face, giving people a sense of déjà vu as if a ghost in a horror movie was looking back, which was terrifying and thrilling.

The two sides looked at each other.

"hiss……"

Aunt Lan took a deep breath, tightened her hands that were rowing the boat, and pulled out a black oar that looked like a Green Dragon Crescent Blade and aimed it at Tian Peng Zhenjun, but she quickly reacted and pushed the oar into the water.

"I provoke you Wen, and the black old man jumps!"

Zhang Zhiwei: "…………"

This should be my word.

"Lan... Fellow Daoist Lan, what happened?"

A monster with a green face, red beard and hair, protruding fangs, wearing a yellow robe and holding a big knife spoke haltingly. He was Zhang Yi, the incarnation of the yellow-robed monster - the guardian general Kuimu Lang Xingjun.

Aunt Lan started to curse: "Fellow Daoist Lan? Which fellow Daoist Lan are you calling? You look so bewildered, don't say a word!"

The yellow-robed monster shrank his head and dared not say anything more.

Beside the yellow-robed monster stood a somewhat creepy guardian deity with green skin and an evil ghost-like appearance. He was wearing golden armor, red boots, and had a pair of wings on his back. He held a thunder-summoning flag in his left hand and a thunder axe in his right hand.

Zhang Zhiwei also recognized this look. He had seen him during the assessment of the magic position and the selection of divine generals in the Thunder Palace. This was Zhang Yuanbo, also known as Zhang Tianjun, one of the thirty-six generals of the Thunder Department of the Exorcism Institute.

The guardian gods have different levels. Although Zhang Tianjun cannot be compared with Tianpeng Zhenjun, he is also a very top existence, not much worse than Wang Lingguan of the Baiyu Palace of the Shenxiao Sect.

Beside Zhang Tianjun, there are four guardian gods, but these guardian gods appear rather ordinary. Although they are wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, their images have not changed much and they still maintain their original appearance. One can recognize at a glance that these are the four old masters who accompanied him.

If that’s the case, then Zhang Tianjun must be Master Yi Qian’s uncle, Zhang Zhiwei’s face showed understanding.

As for Zhang Huaiyi, he had not received any Dharma position or been granted the title of a divine general. He was inconspicuous among the tall and strong guardian divine generals and was ignored by Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Huaiyi huddled in a corner, looking out of place, staring blankly at everyone, especially the largest general with four heads and eight arms.

Although the image of this divine general is extremely ferocious, the feeling he gives him is not weird and terrifying, but the power of heaven is like a prison, giving people a feeling that victory is guaranteed with his presence.

"When I get back, I must get one at least!" Zhang Huaiyi thought to himself.

"Auntie Lan, is there any problem with borrowing the passage?" Zhang Tianjun Yi Qian asked, his voice rumbling and full of incomparable heavy pressure.

Aunt Lan glanced at Zhang Zhiwei and said, "This idiot ate the protective black mist!"

Everyone looked at Zhang Zhiwei. Zhang Yi and Yi Qian even wanted to scold him, but seeing the look on Tianpeng Zhenjun's face, they really couldn't bring themselves to say anything. After all, he was the main deity of the Arctic Exorcism House.

"It's an accident, an accident, I just took a deep breath," Zhang Zhiwei said, "How about Senior Lan Gu, can you give me some more Qi?"

"You can mend it just by saying so. What do you think?" Aunt Lan said unhappily.

She was secretly surprised in her heart. This black fog was a protective device that could prevent things from the spiritual world from invading the human body. It could also temporarily block the five senses. By the time the five senses were restored, she had already reached her destination.

As a self-defense item, it has certain protective capabilities, and it is not weak, but it was sucked away in one gulp. It is simply unimaginable. No wonder the rumors in the world are all about this, saying that the little master is unparalleled in the world, and this kid is a bit of a freak.

"What will happen without the protective black mist? Should we quit and start a new one?" Zhang Zhiwei scratched his head with all four hands and said apologetically.

Of course, his apologetic look was a little scary. Aunt Lan turned her head and said:
"We have walked hundreds of miles. It would be too troublesome to reopen the altar. Although we are no longer protected by the black fog, we are still on the boat. Be careful. It won't be a big problem."

She glanced back at Zhang Zhiwei and thought, there is no need to be afraid even if something happens due to carelessness, this kid can absorb all the protective black mist in one breath, just let him absorb it when there is danger!

This is why she did not reopen the altar.

It was dark all around, with a steady stream of cold air coming in. The lantern on the bow emitted a faint green light, piercing the darkness ahead while blocking the invasion of the cold air.

The boat was moving slowly on the gray river. Because it was dark all around and there were no reference points, no one knew how fast it was going.

In this pitch-dark world, there is only deathly silence, which gives people a feeling of falling into an endless abyss, and makes people feel depressed as if a huge rock is blocking their hearts.

Zhang Zhiwei looked around, his eyes flashing with golden light and thunder. His divine eyes could see through the darkness and he could see the mountains on both sides of the river. Those mountains were gloomy and shrouded in a dark fog, obscure and mysterious.

He could also feel that there were occasional spiritual fluctuations around him. Those were the masters of the past. They were dead, but their spirits had not disappeared. If they were disturbed, something bad might happen.

However, the black ship they were on seemed to be able to isolate them from the breath of living people, so nothing happened along the way.

"Lan...Senior Lan...I feel a little cold!" Zhang Huaiyi said with a pale face, rubbing his arm.

Aunt Lan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhang Huaiyi. She was stunned for a moment and said unhappily, "Not only is your child small, but he also likes to hide to the side. I almost didn't see him. Come here, come next to me!"

Zhang Huaiyi hurried over. The closer he got to Aunt Lan, the less cold he felt. When he arrived in front of Aunt Lan, the bone-chilling coldness was gone, replaced by a warm feeling all over.

"They all have divine generals protecting them, so it's not a big problem even if they lose the protective black energy. But you don't have it, so you feel cold. This cold is not of the body, but of the soul. In short, don't leave the range of the lantern." Aunt Lan advised.

Zhang Huaiyi nodded repeatedly.

"Senior Lan, how are we getting the passage?" Zhang Zhiwei asked, looking at the river below the boat.

"Water is the place where the Yin is locked, so there is a saying that all water systems in the world lead to the underworld. We are now moving forward through the water veins!"

Aunt Lan explained: "You can understand that the water veins are the meridians of this land, just like the three Yin meridians of the foot in the twelve meridians of the human body. The earth is alive, and the meridians are running all the time. We are now moving in the meridians of the earth."

Zhang Zhiwei suddenly realized: "Senior Lan Gu compared this method to the three Yin meridians of the hand and the three Yin meridians of the foot. Then, is the Fire Escape of Huo De Sect borrowing the path through the three Yang meridians of the foot of the earth?"

"That's about what I mean, but the earth is much more complicated than the human body, so we can't draw the same conclusion..."

Aunt Lan wanted to say something, but then her face darkened and she said in a deep voice, "We're almost at our destination, get ready!"
