Chapter 7: The Valley of the Underworld
After experiencing a bloody scene, everyone's hearts were heavy, as if they were pressed by a boulder, breathless, and no one dared to speak arbitrarily, so the silence in the bronze chariot was so quiet that the needles could be heard.
But Tongtian Gushu didn't care about it, and said with a grin: "Killing from the heart, this is the style of my generation, the kid surnamed Liu is two-faced and three-stabbed, and he is a competent hypocrite." β
"It's not necessarily possible to kill from the heart, the dead Zhang Zheng and Zhao Yifan are both double spiritual roots, and their qualifications are poor, so they can be discarded, Li Heng is a single spiritual root, even if he is slightly inferior, he can escape the catastrophe. Although Liu Qingfeng seems to be unscrupulous, he is actually restrained by the rules, otherwise, it would be impossible to do nothing to me. β
Tongtian Gushu was not convinced: "Abide by the interests of the sect, obey the overall situation, be able to stretch and bend, be ruthless, and not informal, this is the talent." β
Luo Feng is not optimistic: "Talent? This is the way to die, Liu Qingfeng's methods are too ruthless and ruthless, which is equivalent to a thorn in everyone's hearts, thinking that Zhao Yifan is a member of the Zhao family, and he is also Zhao Fengxian's scheduled helper, and now he has died halfway, with his heart, if he is a dignitary in the future, he will definitely come to seek revenge."
The real talent should be Jiang Tao, with a thick face and a black heart, as if he was a loyal traitor, but in fact, he was guiding the whole situation, but he didn't show any traces, and handed over all the things that offended people to Liu Qingfeng. Singing needs to be white and red, he is the red face, if I guess correctly, he will soon make a soothing move. β
Tongtian Gushu pondered for a moment and admitted: "You have some truth in what you say, hey, this time it is the old man who has lost his eyes, he has been sealed for tens of thousands of years, and even his brain is a little unbright." β
Later, as Luo Feng expected, seeing that the carriage was dull, Jiang Tao took out a few jade slips and handed them to everyone, saying that it was to introduce the content of Xuanming Valley, including some door rules, celebrities and exercises.
Everyone didn't dare to talk to Liu Qingfeng, but they had nothing to do, they were easy to think cranky, and they became more and more flustered.
In addition to introducing the Xuanying Valley, this jade slip also briefly talks about the nine realms of the physical body in cultivation, which are Qi refining, yin and yang, spiritual sense, subtlety, no leakage, Nianwei, Yuan Fetus, Transforming God, and Returning Void.
What's even more valuable is the personal construction left at the end, which is related to the choice of exercises after worshipping the sect, all of which are Jiang Tao's personal summed up experience, which is precious.
Let's not talk about these contents, Liu Qingfeng naturally doesn't know, he just thinks it's an ordinary introduction to Yujian, and after comparing the two, it makes him have a bad character and make people feel nostalgic.
The cleverness of Jiang Tao's means of buying people's hearts can be seen. Even if Luo Feng had seen through his intentions, he had to admit that he owed favors.
In the following days, Liu Qingfeng and Jiang Tao meditated and practiced, not caring about time, everyone relied on reading the content of the jade slip to pass the time, and they didn't feel bored.
After three days, the bronze chariot finally arrived in the Xuan Ming Valley.
Different from the scenery of the wind howling, ghosts crying wolves, and demonic spirits imagined by everyone, the environment around the Xuan Ming Valley is very magnificent and elegant, with birds singing and fragrant flowers, beautiful mountains and rivers, quiet and serene, quite a bit of a fairyland on earth, not like an evil sect at all.
As if seeing the doubts in everyone's hearts, Liu Qingfeng said with a smile: "Even if it is a murderous bandit, it will not say 'I want to rob' on his face, after all, it is where we live, of course we must look comfortable."
The more you communicate with ghosts, the more you need to vent your pressure, so as not to drive yourself crazy, the kind of appearance that shows off on the surface, and deliberately dresses up the appearance as fierce and vicious, which is something that only some small sects that do not enter the stream. β
Everyone was relieved and felt that it made senseβthey had forgotten how Liu Qingfeng had deceived people to death before.
After stepping into the Xuanming Valley, everyone found that the palaces and pavilions inside were indeed magnificent and exquisite, from everyone's handwriting, but there was always a yin and strong smell, which made people shudder.
Tongtian Ancient Shu said with a smile: "The buildings here are all based on demon bones, with blood as mud, mixed and watered, and each foundation suppresses the evil ghosts and souls, and connects with each other with secret techniques, absorbing the qi of the earth's evil, and connecting them into the cathode evil spirit array." On weekdays, it can contain the yin qi of the netherworld, warm the ghosts and ghosts, and once attacked, it can release a million ghost troops to defend against the enemy, which is also ingenious. β
In fact, even if it didn't say anything, Luo Feng sensed that something was wrong, because it was too quiet here.
It was a place where thousands of people lived, but there was not even a bit of noise, and the birds in the mountains and forests could be heard clearly, and the silence was as dead as a cemetery.
He thought in his heart: "The Six Dao Sect, the Six Dao Reincarnation, is really related to the underworld, not only the sorrow and noise can be regarded as a demon, silence, eternal tranquility, but also evil in another sense." β
Jiang Tao led everyone to a hall with a plaque of "Internal Affairs Office", and then explained a few words to an old man sitting at the door of the main hall.
The old man's eyes were cold, his face was pale, his appearance was withered, and the slightest sweep of his eyes made the soles of his feet cold.
Luo Feng didn't look at each other, and still had a fear of being stared at by a fierce beast, as if the other party could pinch his little shrimp to death with just the slightest thought.
Even he was like this, let alone the others, holding their breath one by one, they didn't dare to breathe, and when they came back to their senses, their backs were already wet with cold sweat.
Fortunately, the old man didn't spend much time on everyone, only stopped for a while when he looked at Zhao Fengxian, then took out five boxes, and then waved his hand to signal that everyone could go out.
During the whole process, he didn't say a word, but it brought people a huge sense of depression.
Liu Qingfeng left in a hurry with everyone, he didn't seem to like to stay with the old man for a long time, and soon came to a dark stone building that looked like an inn.
"Inside this box is a set of practice clothes with a self-purification effect, a Dark Fire Flying Sword for practicing true qi control, a bottle of medicine containing ten Qi Nourishing Pills, and an introductory jade slip, which contains a set of basic exercises "Netherworld Technique".
Your next task is to find a room to live in, and then cultivate the Netherworld Technique with all your might, until you feel the sense of qi, derive the Netherworld True Qi, and step into the realm of refining qi, and you can come out. β
Li Heng cautiously asked, "Can't we go out?" This "Netherworld Technique" shouldn't be able to be practiced in a day, what will happen to the food then?"
Liu Qingfeng said: "One pill of Qi Nourishing Pill is enough for a normal person to go without eating for three days. β
Li Heng saw that he was not angry, and he had the courage to ask: "A total of ten Qi Nourishing Pills, if after a month, no true qi has been derived, then what should I do?"
Liu Qingfeng laughed, pretending to be mysterious and said in a mysterious tone: "I might as well tell you a secret, once the stone doors of these secret rooms are closed, if you want to open them, you must inject Netherworld True Qi, in addition, no matter how people toss in the house, there will be no sound coming out of the secret room, isn't it interesting?"
Everyone didn't find it interesting at all, and their faces turned blue, once again realizing why the Six Dao Sect was called the Evil Sect.
Jiang Tao coughed and said, "Senior Brother Liu, don't scare them, don't be too afraid, this level is not too difficult, the pass rate so far is about ninety percent, as long as you are not a person with particularly poor qualifications and understanding, you can pass the test." β
Everyone felt a little at ease, but when they thought that there was a 10% probability that they would not understand guΓ² and would be starved to death in the secret room, they could not contain a sense of anxiety, and they all seized the time, picked a room at random, and then went in to cultivate.
Luo Feng was the last to enter the house, and found that it was quite spacious, with five rooms, including a living room, a study, and a martial arts, and the layout was luxurious and luxurious, and all kinds of furniture were made of high-quality materials.
He sat cross-legged on the practice bed, and after making Tongtian Gushu confirm that there were no voyeuristic spells around, he took out a jade slip, which was not from the Xuan Ming Valley, but the jade slip given to him by the old man of the blood abyss.
