True Immortal of the Netherworld

Xiao Dali turned the wine jar upside down, raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and a few drops of wine slipped out from the mouth of the jar and fell into his throat.

He clicked his lips and shook the wine jar unwillingly. No wine dripped out, and then he said: "It's gone."

Xu Yang pointed to the two jars placed on one side and said, "Isn't there more..."

Xiao Da quickly waved his hand and said:

"Brother Xu Yang, let's drink this wine today. I won't take out the remaining two jars to drink. I said, this wine is for storage."

Xiao Da's face turned red and he put the remaining two jars of wine into the storage bag and tied the bag tightly.

Xu Yang stood up and clasped his fists: "Thank you, senior, for inviting me to drink. It's time for me to say goodbye."

Xiao Da said seriously:

"Little brother Xu Yang, I know you have a certain ability, otherwise you would not be able to reach the foot of the Eternal Life Mountain unscathed. I want to remind you that each of the ten palace Hades on this mountain has the ability to destroy the heaven and the earth. , It is not easy to challenge them. There are still ninety-six days before the black sun chases the moon. As the saying goes, if you sharpen your weapon in battle, you will lose your happiness. "

"Thank you, senior, for reminding me." Xu Yang nodded, clasped his fists again, and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Da suddenly called Xu Yang.

"Senior, what else can you do?"

Xiao Da took out a pottery vase from his arms and handed it over:

"This pottery bottle contains my hometown wine, called "Drunken Scimitar". It was originally used for my collection. Today you and I met and hit it off, so I gave it to you as a gift. Anyway, I also took it before I gave you two jars of wine. If I don’t give you something, others will say I’m stingy.”

"Thank you for the wine, senior." Xu Yang accepted it happily and put the wine away.

Xiao Da blinked his eyes, and then looked left and right. There was nothing around him except for the big stone full of writings.

He gently put a hand on Xu Yang's shoulder, put his mouth close to Xu Yang's ear, and whispered:

"Brother Xu Yang, I have a reputation as a "drunken scimitar". There is a legend in my hometown that there was once a knife-wielding villain who oppressed the people in the village. This villain had developed strange skills and was invulnerable. Finally, A clever wine shop owner used this wine to get him drunk, and the villagers took the opportunity to get rid of the bully. From then on, this wine got the name of "Drunken Scimitar".

Xu Yang nodded and said: "Interesting story, I have collected this wine."

Afterwards, Xu Yang said goodbye to Xiao Da and turned to leave.

Xiao Da saw Xu Yang's back disappearing from sight, with a complicated expression on his face. He turned around and looked up at the top of Yongsheng Mountain and said to himself:

"Lord Lord Pluto, you are really clever. Oh, no, it should be cunning. Three hundred years ago, I, Xiao Da Nai, was the only underworld commander in the underworld. You didn't let me stay in the military camp and lead the troops to fight, but you let me guard this place. A big stone. I said that one day, if someone from the Zhongyuan world came here to give me a drink, I would just erase the writing on the stone and show it to him. I thought it was because I was alone. Military power in the underworld, you were wary of me, so you found a reason to exile me here. I didn’t expect that three hundred years later, someone would actually give me wine. It’s time for me to leave this place.”

Xiao Da came to the big stone covered with writings, flicked his sleeves, and a mysterious wind fell, and the big stone silently turned into a pile of powder.

"What the hell, the rule of opening up the ten halls to challenge during the period of Black Sun Chasing the Moon was abolished three hundred years ago. The current rule is that no one is allowed to approach the Eternal Life Mountain, and anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."

Xiao Da sighed.

"I don't think I lied to little brother Xu Yang, do I? Maybe he can really succeed in the challenge. There is an unchanging rule in the Eternal Life Mountain. Whoever can defeat the Lord Pluto in the Eternal Life Palace will be the new successor. Lord Pluto. Tsk, what if? It’s a good relationship for me.”

Xiao Da lowered his head and looked at the gray robe on his body. There were many holes and leaks.

"I don't look a bit handsome now. However, I guess with little brother Xu Yang's cleverness, he has already figured out my identity, but he just didn't expose me in front of me. Well, he is really a good person drinking buddy.”

...

A hundred miles away from the Eternal Life Mountain, in a secluded place, in a temporary cave, Xu Yang sat cross-legged and closed his eyes on a stone couch.

"Senior Xiao's background is at least at the level of the Void Immortal Realm. He is by no means an ordinary mountain guardian. He is probably the Pluto Commander he mentioned in his mouth. By controlling the mind of Pluto, placing him at the foot of the Eternal Life Mountain will not only prevent him from We are the only family in the military camp, so we can monitor them at any time.”

"Who is Lord Pluto? All the people I met during my journey here are related to him. Even Hibiscus advised me to stay away from him, saying that he is a conspirator."

"All the answers will be revealed slowly when the sun shines over the moon."

"The premise is that I must be able to fight all the way to the top of Eternal Life Mountain."

"Lord Lord Pluto, just wait for me in the Palace of Eternal Life."

After that, Xu Yang eliminated distracting thoughts and performed great exercises in the sky. There was a five-color halo circulating around his body.

A month passed quickly during Xu Yang's training in the temporary cave.

Using the method of internal vision, the Yuanying villain is full of energy, and the five mysterious gates in his demonic spiral heart are forming a circle.

Jinlei Xuanmen belongs to gold, Red Fire Xuanmen belongs to fire, Yuequan Xuanmen belongs to water, Heiyang Xuanmen belongs to earth, and Qingmu Xuanmen belongs to wood.

The five elements are complete and interdependent, which makes Xu Yang's Kung Fu practice more than double the speed before. He broke through to the Virtual Immortal Realm not long ago, and his foundation has become solid.

Xu Yang opened his eyes on the stone couch and remembered something.

"It would be great if my friend, the Golden Jade Monk, is by my side. Not only is he a good helper, but his third eye can always see through everything hidden in the dark. We said goodbye last time in the "Valley of Lost Souls", and I don't know who he is now. What's going on? I don't know if the great monk Jiu Ku, who has become a dead tree, can regain his life."

...

More than a month ago.

Zhongyuan world, Golden Buddha Temple.

The Golden Jade Monk hurried back to the Golden Buddha Temple with the piece of dead wood transformed by the Great Monk Jiu Ku. What awaited him was no welcome, only precautions and accusations.

Tathagata Hall, a dark underground secret room, four law enforcement monks met and conspired.

"It has been confirmed that the three people who usually lined up in front of us have died in the Fengdu Incident. Also lost were 600 monks directly under the Tathagata Hall. Now there are only four of us left in the Tathagata Hall Law Enforcement Elders Council. ”

"Our Tathagata Hall's strength has been greatly damaged. If we don't handle it well, we may lose power in the future."

"Jin Yu, the little devil, is back holding the dead wood that Master Jiu Ku turned into. These days, he has been doing it alone in Jinding Mountain to awaken Master Jiu Ku."

"In case Uncle Jiuku is resurrected, the four of us will not be able to compare with them in terms of cultivation, qualifications, and prestige. From now on, the Golden Buddha Temple will become the world of the two of them."

"We must find a way. In the Golden Buddha Temple, we, the Tathagata Hall Elders Council, must firmly hold power."

"I have an idea. As soon as the little demon Jin Yu appears, the Golden Buddha Temple will suffer huge losses. Since he has a body of demon blood, we will put all the responsibilities on him. Then, according to the rules of the Golden Buddha Temple, those who are possessed by the devil will The disciple will be punished by being sealed in the golden coffin with the Buddha's seal, and will not be free until the demonic blood recedes. "

"Very good. As long as we seal Jinyu in a golden coffin, we will control his life and death."

...

Golden Buddha Temple, Jinding Mountain.

The young monk in white knelt in front of the black dead wood.

The surface of the black dead wood is engraved with the Diamond Sutra written by the young monk with his own Buddha's blood. It is as golden as the supreme Buddha's robe.

In the corner of the black dead wood, there is a green bud. For some reason, the green shoots bowed their heads and bent over, and no longer had the strength to grow upward.

The little monk said:

"Uncle Jiu Ku Master, the dead tree you are now incarnated in has refused me to introduce any more life energy into it."

Miraculously, that small patch of green nodded.

The little monk said: "I know you are afraid that I will risk all my life in order to save your life. If you don't refuse, I will definitely do this."

The little monk clasped his hands and kept silent, as if waiting for something.

The sky gradually darkened.

At this moment, a piece of green on the dead tree tried to straighten up.

boom!

There was a soft sound, and the green spit out a ball of green light.

The green light swirled and a human figure appeared.

It was an old monk with a kind face and a thin body.

When the young monk saw the old monk's Dharma image, tears burst out of his eyes.

The "old monk" stretched out a hand and patted the young monk's head gently.

"In the end of the volume of the Tathagata Sutra," the old monk's Dharma image said in a loud voice, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"

The little monk's whole body was shrouded in a ball of jumping green light spots.

He closed his eyes and burst into tears.

After a while, the old monk's religious image dispersed with the wind, and the dead wood also decayed into ashes.

The old monk's only relic was the wine gourd he carried with him when he was alive. The young monk picked it up and put it away.

The young monk knew that the old monk wanted to see that he was fine. Now that the old monk has finished his thoughts, his life force has completely dissipated.

At dawn, the young monk, who had been kneeling all night, stood up and solemnly bowed in the direction of the sunrise.

The halo of sunrise fell on the young monk's body, splashing with warm light, like a hug from the old monk.

"With the heart of the Tathagata, I do the things of the Tathagata, I am a Tathagata, I am the Tathagata..." The young monk recited the Tathagata Sutra respectfully, then turned around and descended from the top of the Jinshan Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, a group of "evil monks" from the Tathagata Hall surrounded the young monk with weapons of law enforcement.

The young monk only said: "Uncle Jiu Ku Master has passed away. Please give me one day to liberate him. After that, I will do whatever you want with me."

Afterwards, the young monk came to the bodhi tree in the backyard of Tathagata Hall.

He took out a few scriptures, used them to light the fire, and skillfully cooked the roast chicken.

In the flames lit by the scriptures, there are clusters of Sanskrit texts arranged neatly, and the roasted chicken is sizzling with oil until the skin is crispy and golden.

The young monk took out the wine gourd.

Eat chicken and drink.

The young monk was as happy as if the old monk were sitting opposite him and with him.

After eating and drinking enough, the young monk tidied up the place.

The next day, the Bodhi tree bore a golden Bodhi fruit.

On the same day, in an unknown mountain village in Jinfo Township, a baby boy was born. The baby boy held a golden Bodhi fruit in his hand.

The young monk came to the Tathagata Hall Law Enforcement Court on his own.

The bald heads of the Law Enforcement Court detailed dozens of crimes committed by the young monk, including eating meat, drinking alcohol, burning scriptures, practicing magic skills, colluding with Fengdu...

The young monk did not say a word to refute, but lay down in the golden coffin.

The lid of the golden coffin was sealed with 108 Buddhist seals, and then it was carried to the Dharma Precepts Courtyard on the top of Jinshan Mountain.

At night, four black thieves wearing night clothes sneaked into the Fajie Courtyard.

"The little devil of gold and jade is in this golden coffin."

"are you sure?"

"It's unmistakable. I watched him lie in it with my own eyes, and I also watched him put the seal on it."

"What to do next?"

"What else can we do? Didn't we say this before we came? Set him on fire. Why are you so scared when you get there?"

"I-I'm just making sure."

"Don't be afraid, this golden coffin with Buddha's seal will seal off all the skills of the golden little devil. The moment he lies inside, he is destined to be dead."

"Listen to my command, the four of us will cast spells together, burning the golden coffin from the outside with the golden fire of Buddhism, roasting the devil inside alive."

"Once it's over, we four brothers will have the final say in the Tathagata Hall from now on, and the entire Golden Buddha Temple will be firmly controlled by our Tathagata Hall."

"Come together!" The four black thieves cast spells at the same time, and fire snakes fell on the golden coffin.

Inside the golden coffin, there was never a sound.

"It's almost dawn, and the golden coffin is burning red. This devil should be dead, right?"

"Go over and take a look."

"I, I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of? The four of us went over to check. Is it possible that a dead man can jump out of the golden coffin?"

Four black thieves, you grabbed my clothes, I grabbed your shoulders, rubbed the soles of your shoes, and came to the golden coffin.

The golden coffin was red after a night of fire refining, and you could vaguely see some shadow inside.

Just at this time, the sky dawned, and a ray of light lit up the world.

Suddenly, a colorful thunder fell from the sky and landed on the top of Jinshan Mountain.

On that day, the Golden Buddha Temple released news that a five-color fairy thunder descended on the top of the Jinshan Mountain. After being baptized by the fairy thunder, the golden monk successfully eliminated his evil thoughts and became the holy son of the Golden Buddha Temple again.

After that, the empty golden coffin was enshrined in the Golden Buddha Temple to receive incense from believers, and the Golden Buddha Temple made a lot of money.

As for the news that the four law enforcement elders of Tathagata Hall were missing, no one cared.

On the day when the colorful sky thunder fell, the golden and jade monk achieved the virtual fairyland.

In the days that followed, Tiangui Sect, Yu Daomen and Qinglian Dojo released news one after another. Gui Gu Zan of the Tiangui Sect, Zhan Yunfei of the Yu Dao Sect, and Liu Haiyu of the Qinglian Dojo achieved the realm of virtual immortals.
