The longevity of the heavens begins with Mingyu Gong

All these innocent ghosts turned into black smoke and entered the figure's body. The aura of the figure became more and more vast and huge, lasting for half a stick of incense before stopping.

Then, the figure opened his eyes, his eyes were piercing the sky, and he looked into the distance: "The Heaven and Earth Clock has appeared, and we have to find it. My plan is almost completed, and this is the most critical step left."

This person is clearly an old man, with white beard and hair, wearing a brocade robe.

This brocade robe is embroidered with nine golden dragons, which are lifelike and vivid.

The old man took out a few copper plates from his sleeves and shook them. The copper coins turned in his hands and made a tinkling sound, which was very clear and pleasant. The old man muttered something, but he didn't know what spell he was talking about.

After a moment, the copper coin fell into his palm, and the pointer was fixed, staying in the west.

"It's indeed in the west!"

……

At the same time, in another space, a group of fierce ghosts were besieging an old man. I saw him standing with his feet upright, his body upright, his clothes flowing, surrounded by endless auspiciousness, and his treasure appearance was solemn, which made people admire him.

The group of ghosts rushed over, but he opened his mouth and spit out flames, burning all the ghosts and leaving no bones.

Suddenly, the old man frowned slightly and looked towards the east: "This momentum is very much like a sign that the Heaven and Earth Clock is about to be born. But why did it appear in that remote place? Is it really because of that thing?"

The old man muttered to himself, then suddenly sneered: "Whether you are the Heaven and Earth Bell or not, you cannot escape my plan. I want to get it and use it to refine the Immortal Pill, extend my life for tens of millions of years, and become a saint!"

He stretched out his right hand, and a ball of golden light appeared in his palm. Then the light dissipated and became transparent. A golden bean the size of a thumb can be vaguely seen among them.

He clenched his fist with five fingers, and the golden bean shattered into pieces, turned into dust, and disappeared into the air.

After doing all this, the old man showed a happy expression on his face, and then he jumped into the air.

……

At the same time, in a deep mountain and dense forest in the north. A young man is sitting cross-legged. The vegetation around him has withered and the soil has dried up. It seems that the nutrients have been extracted, turning it into a yellow desert. In front of the young man, there were hundreds of skeletons piled up like a mountain.

His eyes were closed tightly, as if he was thinking hard. Suddenly, a picture flashed in the young man's mind:
On top of a huge tower towering into the clouds, stood two huge stone pillars, each with a ruby ​​the size of an egg on the top. One red, one golden, crystal clear and beautiful.

Next to the ruby, there were three thick iron chains erected, each of which was covered with bones and broken armor.

boom!
The heaven and earth shook!

The three iron chains suddenly burst into brilliant light, and runes appeared one after another, forming mysterious patterns.

A simple, mysterious, and majestic voice came down.

"The Heaven and Earth Clock is about to be born."

As soon as these words fell, streaks of rainbow light shot up into the sky and headed straight to the south.

An old monk sat on a futon, chanting sutras silently, surrounded by the sound of Buddha.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes: "The Heaven and Earth Clock is about to be born? Who else?"

……

To the northwest, an ancient temple.

This is a dilapidated temple in which various Bodhisattvas, Buddhas and other gods are enshrined.

Each statue is in tatters, as if caused by wind, rain, and vicissitudes of time.

Suddenly, the temple door was pushed open.

"Amitabha." A kind-hearted monk walked in.

He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, with saggy skin and gray hair. He was wearing gray linen clothes, his back was straight, and he looked very energetic.

After the monk entered the temple, he bowed to many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, etc. Then he came to the center of the temple, knelt down on the futon, and began to kowtow. Dong-dong-dong-dong, he knocked a total of ninety-nine times, then raised his head and asked piously: "May I ask all the masters, when will the heaven and earth clock come?"

In the temple, the eyes of all the statues burned with blazing fire, as if answering the monk's question.

The monk continued to ask: "May I ask all the masters, can we win this battle for the Heaven and Earth Clock?"

"The Bell of Heaven and Earth is a treasure from ancient times and has great power."

"The greatest treasure of all time?" The monk heard this and said with a solemn face: "Doesn't that mean that in addition to the masters, there will also be powerful enemies coming?"

"No, not everyone participated in this fight, just a few people."

"That's it." The monk nodded.

"The poor monk is ready."

"Amitabha."

"In this case, I will retire."

The monk stood up and bowed to the many statues. Then left slowly.

The monk had just left the temple and met a group of people. This group of people are tall, short, fat and thin, both male and female.

The leader was a fair and elegant middle-aged scholar. He wore a string of sandalwood beads on his wrist, exuding a faint fragrance.

The white scholar stared at the monk for a moment, then moved his eyes and saw the stone tablet that was more than ten feet high behind the monk, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

The monk said: "Excuse me, who are you?"

Scholar Bai Jing laughed: "I am Xu Cheng, a close disciple of the Master of the Tianxing Temple. He specializes in starry Taoism and is good at divination of good and bad luck."

"Tian Xing Guan?" When the monk heard this, his expression changed drastically: "He is actually a disciple of Tian Xing Guan."

After that, he hurried out of the temple.

Xu Cheng's face was gloomy, he looked at the door of the temple and murmured.

"The master of Tianxing Temple, Taoist Tianxing. It is said that he has cultivated the 'Innate Star' and can use his magic to reach the gods."

Innate stars are a miraculous state that occurs after the power of the stars is cultivated to its limit.

Legend has it that the innate stars are gods born in the sky and possess magical and unpredictable power. For example, there are many star kings under the innate stars. These star kings rule over billions of stars and are known as gods.

"Taoist Tianxing has cultivated the innate stars, and I'm afraid he has spied on the immortal way."

Thinking of this, his expression changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

After a long time, he sighed: "Although this opportunity is not small, if I offend Taoist Tianxing, I may not be able to enjoy this great opportunity with my life."

Thinking of this, he glanced at the dilapidated temple again, and finally turned around and left without a trace.

……

Song Xing left with the Heaven and Earth Bell, not knowing that the outside world was changing and murderous intentions were hidden. He took the black coffin and went straight to an abandoned ancient tomb outside the mountain.

The tomb is dark and gloomy.

"This ancient tomb was the tomb of a former emperor. It had been filled in. However, I dug it out using secret techniques and remodeled it using secret techniques. Even the corpses in the tomb were moved away. This way Once you arrive, there will be no trace left behind, and no one else will be able to find it.”

"Yes." Song Xing responded. He looked around and made sure no one was following him before opening the coffin lid. (End of chapter)
