Pawn Crossing the River

Cihang Zhenren and Qi Xuansu were indeed on their way to Xiangzhou, with only Xiao Yin accompanying them.

In terms of manpower, there was no need to worry too much. Xiangzhou was located in the core hinterland of Taoism. If there was any change, it would be more convenient to mobilize support. After all, next to Xiangzhou was Wuzhou where the Heavenly Master was located. It was much closer from the Great Zhenren Mansion to Yunmengze than from the Great Snow Mountain Palace to Yujing.

When Cihang Zhenren and Qi Xuansu arrived above Yunmengze, they could no longer see the lake surface of Yunmengze, only countless clouds and mist, which was exactly the same as the scene Qi Xuansu saw last time.

"It seems that we are still a step late. Bodhisattva Xiao has already entered the Cloud God Cave Heaven, but I can't understand how she did it?" Qi Xuansu said.

At this time, Su Yuanzai also came up: "Sister, Tianyuan, you are finally here. If I am not mistaken, this time it is the court that intervened."

Cihang Zhenren frowned and said: "The Great Xuan Court is courting harm. If Xiao Bodhisattva releases "Cangtian", we will have to clean up the mess. It is too late to wait for reinforcements now. We can only enter Yunshen Cave Heaven to stop Xiao Bodhisattva. Gongfu, you and I will go in together."

Su Yuanzai hesitated: "Entering Yunshen Cave Heaven will be randomly teleported. I am afraid it is..."

Cihang Zhenren said: "You don't have to worry about this."

Su Yuanzai saw that Cihang Zhenren said so, so he said no more.

This cousin looks easy to talk to, but few people can make her change her mind about things she has decided. Maybe someone can do it, such as Tianshi, but he obviously can't, so she should just listen to her. This is not a subordinate relationship in terms of position, but more of a personal level of dependence. In the same position, some people can control it, and some can't control it. That's the reason.

In addition, Su Yuanzai was in charge of the Xiangzhou Daofu. When such an emergency occurred, he, as the head of the mansion, had to take his own responsibilities and could not hide from it.

However, Cihang Zhenren was not aimless, because Qi Xuansu had already told Cihang Zhenren the bottom line, so Cihang Zhenren had a rough idea of ​​the situation in Yunshen Cave Heaven. Celestial immortals are best at traveling through various worlds. Although it is somewhat awkward before becoming a first-level immortal, and Yunshen Cave Heaven is a special cave heaven that cannot be entered and exited at will, it is not difficult to ensure that the people traveling with them are not randomly teleported when the cave heaven portal is opened.

The reason why Zhou Mengyao did not do this at the beginning was that he was seriously injured and his cultivation was greatly reduced. Secondly, Zhou Mengyao came alone and there was no need to find someone to travel with him. Naturally, it cannot be generalized.

Qi Xuansu said, "I won't go with you two. I will go directly to the Yin-Yang Palace."

Su Yuanzai may not understand it very well, but he just guessed it, but Cihang Zhenren must understand what Qi Xuansu meant. He holds Wang Jujun's head and can directly enter the Yin-Yang Palace, the core area of ​​Yunshen Cave Heaven, like the "shopkeeper". Qi Xuansu can even unlock part of the seal of "Cangtian" to stop Xiao Bodhisattva.

Cihang Zhenren did not agree at once, but said, "If you are blocked by Xiao Bodhisattva in the Yin-Yang Palace, you will have no way to retreat. Your safety is very problematic."

Qi Xuansu naturally considered this and said, "This is the only way. We are already one step slower. If we are one step slower, we will be slower all the way. Now we can only use this method to remedy it."

Cihang Zhenren did not hesitate for too long and made up his mind, "Well, you must pay attention to your own safety. Leave when you should. If you leave the green mountains, you will not worry about firewood."

"Yes." Qi Xuansu responded, and no longer wasted time. He took Xiao Yin into the air and went to the direction of the sea of ​​clouds and fog.

Cihang Zhenren and Su Yuanzai followed the normal path to enter Yunshen Cave Heaven, chasing after Xiao Bodhisattva and others from behind. When Qi Xuansu entered the Yin-Yang Palace and unlocked some of the seals, he might not be able to stop Xiao Bodhisattva. As long as he could delay for a while and let Cihang Zhenren catch up with Xiao Bodhisattva, it would be enough.

Although Cihang Zhenren admitted that his realm was slightly inferior to Xiao Bodhisattva, this gap was obviously only the difference between winning and losing, and it was definitely not the difference between life and death.

In fact, it is very clear to make a comparison. Cihang Zhenren stayed in the pseudo-immortal stage for many years, with a solid foundation. Once he got the Tao and proved immortality, he would be much stronger than Chen Shuhua, Zhou Mengyao and others. According to the analysis of the Taoist sect, Xiao Bodhisattva is roughly the same as Jiang Da Zhenren, that is, the level of the three great masters, and cannot be compared with the three masters. When Jiang Da Zhenren fought Zhou Mengyao, although he severely injured Zhou Mengyao, he still let Zhou Mengyao escape. Cihang Zhenren is even better than Zhou Mengyao. Although Xiao Bodhisattva's cultivation is not much different from Jiang Da Zhenren, he is definitely inferior in the number of immortal objects. With this increase and decrease, Cihang Zhenren will not worry about his life against Xiao Bodhisattva. At most, he will be at a disadvantage and embarrassed.

But this is the sphere of influence of the Taoist sect. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Xiao Bodhisattva. Cihang Zhenren does not need to seek victory, just an undefeated one is enough.

In short, Qi Xuansu placed all his hopes on Cihang Zhenren, which can be said to be a great trust in Cihang Zhenren. If Cihang Zhenren plays some tricks and deliberately lets Qi Xuansu go, then Qi Xuansu will be blocked by Xiao Bodhisattva in the Yin and Yang Palaces, with no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the earth. Either sit and wait for death, or release "Cangtian" and everyone will play together. No matter what the result is, Zhang Yuelu will be a widow.

It must be said that this is also Qi Xuansu's courage. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has been born and died for the Taoist sect.

Qi Xuansu entered the Cloud God Cave Heaven first and took out Wang Jujun's head directly. In the boundless fog, although Wang Jujun's head was still closed, his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears actually lit up, like a bright lamp, piercing through the fog.

Xiao Yin hugged Qi Xuansu's arm tightly, fearing that he would get lost.

The light from Wang Jujun's head just enveloped the two of them, making them walk on a special "road" composed entirely of clouds and fog. When the clouds and fog dissipated, Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin had already arrived at the Yin and Yang Halls deep in the Cloud God Cave Heaven.

It was still the same here, all made of bronze, with closed doors and windows, and inscribed with talismans, so that the outside scene could not be seen.

Because the golden lamps hanging in the hall had been extinguished, the light was dim, not only did it no longer have the magnificent style of the immortals, but it also showed the meaning of the dead and cold ghost domain.

The dome of the hall was shaped into a vast starry sky, and the light of countless "stars" formed a thin layer of light fog. It's just that the starlight is cold, even if there are many, it also adds a bit of chill.

Xiao Yin is not afraid at all, but very close to this atmosphere, just like going home.

Under the star map, there is a thing similar to a sundial. The eight trigrams are engraved on the stone plate of the sundial. As the star map changes, the shadows on the sundial also move accordingly, corresponding to the eight gates of the eight trigrams.

Qi Xuansu opened the death door with ease, corresponding to a downward passage.

The so-called Yin and Yang Palaces, the upper one is the Yang Palace, and the lower one is the Yin Palace.

Compared with the Yang Palace, the Yin Palace is almost like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, but it is reversed from left to right and up to down. The same star map, the Yang Palace on the ground is suspended on the dome, while the Yin Palace underground is located at the feet, as if stepping on the starry sky.

The same is true for the golden lamp. Not only has the hanging golden lamp become a foot lamp, but the color of the whole body has also changed from gold to black, making the Yin Palace like the netherworld. The only difference is that there is an additional inner palace in the Yin Palace, which is the core key.

Wang Jujun's body was placed in the inner hall, and "Cangtian" was sealed in Wang Jujun's body. As long as Wang Jujun's head was placed back on the headless body, the seal could be partially unlocked to a certain extent.

Although Qi Xuansu could not directly control "Cangtian" to make it act according to his will, unlocking some of the seals was like opening a floodgate to release water, which could control the size of the water flow. As long as it was used properly, it could have various effects.

The reason why Qi Xuansu brought Xiao Yin here was also to be on the safe side. If "Cangtian" accidentally lost control, he would have to waste a "divine talisman" opportunity to restore "Cangtian". This process was inseparable from Xiao Yin.

Qi Xuansu walked slowly into the inner hall, bypassed the alchemy furnace, and met Wang Jujun who was placed here by the ancient Taiping Dao again.

This Confucian saint was also unlucky. He did not die well during his lifetime, and left a name for eternity after his death. In the end, his body could not rest in peace.

There was also Monk Xiao, whose head was sent to the nine borders by the Taoist sect after his death.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but wonder, if he was defeated and became a bandit one day, what would be his fate? Would he also be beheaded? Or turned into powder?

Qi Xuansu gathered his thoughts, put Wang Jujun's head back to its original position, and pressed his palm on Wang Jujun's forehead.

In an instant, Wang Jujun's eyes suddenly opened, revealing dark eye sockets without eyeballs.

At this time, Xiao Bodhisattva was heading towards the sea of ​​clouds deep in the Cloud God Cave Heaven, and suddenly saw the fog in front of him began to gather, forming a mirage, turning into a human face, like a god or demon covering most of the sky, and the empty eye sockets were like two bottomless whirlpools, sucking everything in.

Then, the fog around the human face began to fade, revealing a void-like existence.

Then a "gurgling" sound resounded through the world from the void, like a muffled thunder, and like the sound of some existence swallowing.

This voice was mixed with indescribable madness and chaos, as if the devil's voice was filling my ears. In a trance, I could see a vague outline appearing in the void behind the face, as if a huge monster was floating on the surface of the water, and part of it had gradually broken through the void and fog.

However, this face was not a head, but a "mask", and the part below the "mask" was its true face.

There was no such thing as eyes, only a bottomless mouth.

This huge mouth was so big, like an abyss, and like a space crack torn out by force. It was so deep that I couldn't see the end of the edge at all, as if it led to an unknown and indescribable chaotic world.

The next moment, a colorful black torrent gushed out of this huge mouth, exuding a hollow and empty breath.

This torrent was overwhelming, as if it was going to turn everything into chaos. Not only was the attack range extremely large, but it also contained a strong dark power, so even pseudo-immortals and immortals had to be careful to deal with it.
