Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

Lady of the West, a being that sounds very high-end but is actually even more high-end.

Zhou Li once wondered how the woman in red performed the Eight Trigrams. Now that he knew her identity, Zhou Li suddenly felt that everything was natural.

The predecessor of Qimen Bagua was called Qimen Dunjia. It is said that there were 4,320 games of Qimen Dunjia at first, which was changed by Feng Hou to 1,080 games, by Jiang Shang in Zhou Dynasty to 72 games, and by Zhang Zifang in Han Dynasty to 18 games of Yin and Yang. After Wu Hou got the improved 18 games of Yin and Yang, he changed it to Qimen Bagua according to Tiandi Bagua.

The Queen Mother of the West is the creator of 4,320 games of Qimen Dunjia.

If this cannot highlight the status of Lady of the West, then she has another identity.

Huangdi's teacher.

That’s right, the Yellow Emperor, one of the two emperors of Yan and Huang, had the Queen Mother of the West as his teacher.

In addition to the art of Qimen Dunjia, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu is also well versed in military strategy and magic. Moreover, she is also a master of weapons.

Bagua mirror, Baichuan whisk, Poling sword, Sanwusheng Nuo peach wood sword, Liuyun gourd, Wushang heavenly book, Pomo mirror, Nantiandiyin and yang, Wuxiang treasure bead, Hongzhong, Tianmian Jiucai stone...
In other words, the Lady of the Nine Heavens was not only of noble birth, but also extremely powerful and possessed a staggering number of magical instruments. However, such a being that only existed in legends and temples would actually open a ghost market in this desolate place, and she looked like a ghost.

"How can this be?"

Zhou Li was shocked and asked, "How can a fairy become a ghost?"

"Why not?"

Meng Po raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "No matter how the universe jumps out of the five elements and is not in the mortal world, it will still abide by the law of yin and yang. Immortals are transformed by the peak of yang energy, but their yin energy is also terrifyingly dense, but it is blocked in the deepest part of their hearts by their cultivation. Once the Tao is broken, or their own cultivation is shaken, it will only take a thought to become a ghost."

"What's more, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady you saw was just a remnant soul."

"Remnant Soul..."

Zhou Li chewed on these two words and was about to ask, but Meng Po seemed to have expected it. She shook her head and said, "You can't fight against the residual soul either."

"The power of immortals is not just their abilities, but also their control over rules and laws after they have merged with the Great Dao. Even if Jiang Li died thousands of years ago and only his remaining soul survived, it is not something that a spiritual master like you who has not even entered the fifth realm can resist."

"Is there no other way?"

Zhou Li asked.

"If you were a cultivator, you might still have a chance."

Shaking her head, Meng Po said with some regret: "What a pity, you are born with an affinity for spiritual energy that is almost impossible to solve, and it is impossible for the immortal energy to enter your body. When you entered Nirvana, the spiritual energy did not completely retreat, which means that you will never have the opportunity to cultivate immortality. What a pity..."

Zhou Li was stunned.

Can't she see?
Zhou Li then realized that, except for the old Taoist priest, no one had noticed that he had started cultivating immortality. Or, the immortal energy in his body was too unique, and that strange form of immortal energy was rarely seen by others, so most people did not know that Zhou Li already had immortal energy in his body.

But you, Mengpo, don’t know either?

Zhou Li felt a little strange. The other party could see through his fate and could also see that he had been a human in two lives, but could not see that he had practiced Taoism.

You don't understand it completely...

"What if there is an immortal cultivator who helps me?"

Suppressing his inner doubts, Zhou Li asked expectantly.

"impossible."

Waving her jade-like palms, Meng Po smiled and said, "The yang energy of immortal cultivators is too strong, so they can't enter the ghost market at all. Even if they enter, they will be limp and unable to use their strength. Otherwise, do you think a ghost can live for a thousand years just by relying on her title of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady?"

"No chance at all?"

Zhou Li asked unwillingly.

"If you want to get to this point, there is indeed a way."

After thinking for a while, Meng Po said with some amusement: "You marry her."

"what?"

Zhou Li was stunned.

"The reason why Jiang Li became like this is because she lost her Yang Soul and her Dao Heart fell, so she turned into an immortal ghost king. If she wants to return to her original appearance, she must either regain her Yang Soul or rebuild her Dao Heart. She captured your friend just to rebuild her Dao Heart. But if you can give her a Yin-Yang combination, she might let your friend go."

"Is there such a good thing?!"

Zhou Li was very surprised, but soon said in surprise: "No, I'm already taken."

"You really think it's a good thing."

Rolling her eyes delicately, Meng Po said unhappily, "You can't make up for the ten missing Yang souls of Jiang Li. She was the Goddess of the Nine Heavens before. Even if she sucked you dry, she couldn't make up for it at all. Forget about you being taken. Even if you don't have a taker, you'll die if you go."

"what is it now?"

Zhou Li made a bitter face, "I can't just watch my friend die."

"It doesn't mean he will die."

After thinking for a while, Meng Po said uncertainly: "Jiang Li's Dao heart was broken because two thousand years ago, a leader of the Tang Sect used dishonorable means to forge a magic weapon, which destroyed all of Jiu Tian Xuan Nu's Dao arts and magic weapons. This made her doubt her own Dao, and finally her Dao heart fell. What if, I mean what if, your friend is not the direct bloodline of the leader of the Tang Sect, there shouldn't be a problem."

"She is the daughter of the current Tang Sect leader."

"So what flavor of Mengpo soup does she like? Orange or spicy chicken?"

"What kind of taste is this?"

Zhou Li complained, then sighed helplessly and said, "May I ask, what's the matter with her wanting to use my friend to rebuild her Dao Heart? Did she squeeze it into juice for my friend to drink?"

"That's definitely not it. It's too bloody."

Meng Po rocked the recliner and said slowly, "There are only two ways to reshape the heart of Tao. One is to have a sudden enlightenment, to understand the principles of the Tao that immortals cannot understand as mortals. The other way is to defeat the demons in your heart."

"What Jiang Li wants is very simple. She wants to use your friend's blood to summon the Tang Sect leader who defeated her that year and reshape the Great Dao."

"I'm going to find her."

Zhou Li sighed and said to Meng Po in front of him: "Please send me back."

"Think it through."

Meng Po raised her eyebrows and said with a half smile: "If you go back, you will die."

“Not necessarily.”

After thinking for a while, Zhou Li smiled slightly, "Thank you for your advice, Master Meng. I will definitely come to see you again if I have the chance in the future."

"Oh, you are quite interesting."

Narrowing her eyes, Meng Po said with interest: "All living beings in this world keep their distance from the underworld. You kid actually said this. Aren't you afraid that I will take you in?"

"If it should be taken away, then I will accept it."

Zhou Li said calmly: "But if I have some free time, I can come and chat with you."

"Then I sincerely hope that you can survive the hands of the female devil Jiang Li." Patting Zhou Li's shoulder, Meng Po smiled and said, "Walk backwards and don't look back, then you can walk into the ghost market."

Turning around, Zhou Li faced Meng Po with his back, took a deep breath, and then took a step forward.

"Just a reminder."

Meng Po said behind Zhou Li, "As a parent, there is no reason for you to want your child to get hurt."

Zhou Li paused for a moment, remembering what Meng Po said and not looking back. After a brief thought, he nodded and continued walking forward.

The sea of ​​red spider lilies looked like a pool of scarlet blood. Zhou Li stepped on the flowers as if he was stepping on a splash of water, without much sense of reality. He walked forward, completely ignoring the more gorgeous red spider lilies blooming behind him. Soon, Zhou Li's eyes were swallowed by darkness.

Familiar feeling.

Can't see clearly...

Zhou Li couldn't see the road ahead clearly, so he could only rely on his senses to walk along the road at the end of the red spider lily.

Zhou Li walked while feeling the surrounding environment. After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Li suddenly felt as if he was wrapped by a huge slime, and the soft feeling tightly wrapped him. He subconsciously activated his magic, but nothing came out.

But this time, he was not "thrown out" by that feeling. Instead, he was gradually swallowed up by the softness of the slime, and finally...

income.

Zhou Li suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the elegant and noble mountain deer in front of him carrying a bunch of light blue straw on its back. His mind went blank.

“Aa ...

The mountain deer screamed in panic, turned around and tried to escape, but found itself in a closed alley. The little deer, who wanted to eat something temporarily, finally paid the price for his greed.

"Don't shout, don't shout."

Zhou Li slowly got up, scratched his ears, and said helplessly: "You are a divine creature after all, and I am just an ordinary person. Do you think it's necessary?"

"monster!"

The deer's voice was delicate and soft, like a bunch of flowers in spring, refreshing. She looked at Zhou Li, fear and sadness appeared in her wet eyes, as if she was going to die in the next second, "Two-legged deer! Horrible!"

"Oh? Can you speak human language?"

Zhou Li suddenly became interested. He glanced at the branches and the lamp on the deer's back and asked, "Lord Mountain God, have you never seen a human being?"

After realizing that Zhou Li was not that scary, the little deer, who had almost squeezed themselves into a puddle, seemed to be relieved a little and asked cautiously: "Human? But how can humans enter here?"

"You've never been out?"

Zhou Li asked curiously.

"No."

The little deer shook his head, his eyes as clear as a spring, "I have lived in the ghost town since I was a child. I usually eat grass and drink water nearby. I have never been to your human world."

"Oh yo?"

Zhou Li raised his eyebrows and immediately had an idea in his mind.

Simple, naive, pure and good-looking.

Ding Zhen!

Ding Zhen represents being gullible, and being gullible means that you can get something out of the other person.

for example···
"Little sister, do you know where I can buy green grass candy?"

A warm smile appeared on Zhou Li's face, "I want to eat green grass candy."

"Grass candy?"

After being stunned for a moment, the little deer suddenly became excited, "Green grass candy?!"

really.

Zhou Li sneered in his heart. He was now extremely glad that he had participated in the construction of the Monster Management Bureau before and knew a lot of monster habits. For spirit-like monsters like mountain deer, their favorite is green grass candy with white sugar. Once you eat it, you will never forget it. Many mountain deer in the Ming Dynasty were captured by hunters in this way, and finally turned into fur coats worn by the ladies in the capital, or raised in their hands.

“I prefer eating that kind of food.”

Zhou Li said with a simple smile, "Lord Mountain God, please point me in the right direction. I want to buy more green grass candies for my black cat friend. Of course, if you can spare your precious time to show me the way, I think I must buy more for you as a reward for showing me the way."

"Here···"

The light in Xiaolu's eyes became brighter, but she hesitated again, as if she was worried about something. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said softly, "Okay, I'll take you there. But we have to make a deal, I must return to Ghost Town after the ghost bell rings three times."

"The ghost bell rang three times?"

Zhou Li's innocent eyes were full of innocence, "Isn't four rings okay?"

"Ugh?"

The deer blinked and asked in confusion, "One sound, the ghost gate opens, two sounds, the ghost town opens, three sounds, the ghost gate closes. How can you have four sounds?"

"It's okay, it's just the custom over there."

Zhou Li waved his hand mysteriously and asked casually, "Do we have to go back to Ghost Town after three rings? What about going back now?"

"Then I'm at a loss."

Xiaolu blinked and said, "Sister Jiang said I can play until the third bell. If I go back to Ghost Town early, I won't be able to get out. That would be so boring."

"Oh, that's right."

Zhou Li nodded, then made way, raised his hands, and said harmlessly: "Please come in, Lord Mountain God."

Under the guidance of the mountain god, Zhou Li walked out of the alley. Then, he saw a real ghost market.

There were stalls on both sides of a long road that seemed to have no end, and all kinds of strange creatures were selling unique goods. Between the stalls were demons and ghosts who were buying things. At this moment, they did not have the ferocious intentions that they usually had. Instead, they were selecting various things like ordinary people, bargaining, and joking.

Zhou Li and Xiaolu stood outside the crowd. Xiaolu looked at the busy avenue and said excitedly, "It's here. Three stalls ahead is the goat grandfather's stall. He sells green grass candy and white sand mushrooms. I like them very much, but it's a pity that I can only eat them once a year."

"Then why not buy more?"

Zhou Li asked.

"Sister Jiang said that eating too much sugar is bad for teeth, so she wouldn't let Grandpa Goat sell me too much green grass candy."

With his head down, the little deer said pitifully: "I dare not buy more..."

"fine."

Zhou Li smiled and said gently, "I'll buy it for you."

"But... I need the mountain god to help me." (End of this chapter)
