Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 460 Xuanyuan and Chiyou
The two Taoists who set out from Luoshui and Xishan received Mingyu's instructions before they arrived in Chendu.
"Going to the Netherworld City of the Dead?" Tianlu was wearing a dark blue robe with narrow sleeves, the cuffs of which were embroidered with auspicious clouds in gold thread. He had a vermilion and white jade belt around his waist, and a delicate white jade waist pendant on it, and he looked elegant.
Feng Ling'er nodded, the embroidered sword in her hand flying, "Something happened to the Lord's family. Given her condition, the heaven and earth can't take her back. Her soul can only return to the City of the Dead. So the master asked us to go and bring the Emperor's daughter's soul back."
"This matter is not that simple, right?" Tianlu frowned, and out of habit, he subconsciously tried to deduce it.
Chendu, Mingyu suddenly opened his eyes and flicked a finger into the void.
Bang!
Feng Ling'er watched her senior brother fly backwards, overjoyed. "You really need to change this bad habit. You're always trying to figure everything out. Aren't you afraid of being killed by the backlash one day? If that happens, I'll have to go to the City of the Dead to get you back!"
"Ahem, I just had a breakthrough and was careless." Tianlu covered his forehead, walked out of the void, and then saluted in the direction of Chendu.
"Thank you, Master. I will be more careful next time!"
Feng Ling'er beside her rolled her eyes. "There's a next time? Looks like the day for my second trip to the City of the Dead isn't far off!"
Tianlu was not angry. He took out a formation plate and wrote down this important event in it, intending to deduce it again when his cultivation level was higher in the future.
Feng Ling'er took a curious look and saw that there were at least twenty rays of spiritual light in the array plate. It was the kind that just by touching it with divine thoughts, it was as if a great terror was about to befall!
The corner of her mouth twitched: "Brother, I have to say it, you are also lucky to be the third generation disciple of my Fengqi lineage. If I were to go to another mountain sect, I wouldn't have the luck to do this to you!"
"Junior Sister, you may think this is dangerous, but to me, this is the Tao. The great secrets of heaven and earth contained within these are the driving force for advancement in cultivation!
"The extrapolation is endless, the calculation is boundless, the ultimate truth of heaven and earth is all in one hexagram! If that day comes, I might be able to create my own world with a single stroke, just like my master!"
Tianlu held the formation plate in his hand, with a gentle smile and shining eyes.
On the banks of the Luo River, a dragon horse carried the map and Fuxi achieved enlightenment.
He has inherited the true teachings from his grandmaster and master, how could he just be courting death?
Feng Ling'er looked at him with a stunned gaze. Why hadn't she realized that this guy was so talkative before ?
"Let's talk about it when you can reach that step one day. Now what we have to do is to go to the City of the Dead and pave the way for you." Feng Ling'er shook her head. She felt that Tianlu's way was right, but this road was really dangerous. She might have to go to the City of the Dead several times!
"Brother, don't worry. The Netherworld is Master's territory. I think we can go to the City of the Dead and reserve a good spot to solve your worries."
Tianlu heard this and began to think seriously, "Junior Sister, since you said that, I just did another divination and I have a vague feeling that I have a connection with the City of the Dead. I might become a frequent visitor there in the future.
This time, I'll go visit the Northern Ghost Emperor. Master said he's the lord of Wrongful Death City, but he rarely manages things now, having handed the city over to the Four Ghost Kings."
Feng Ling'er just watched him tell fortunes over and over again, as if he was trying to deduce how she would die tragically in the future, how she would go to the City of the Dead, how she would return, what dangers she would encounter, what preparations she should make, and so on.
She looked up at the sky speechlessly, "Brother... I just said it casually, aren't you too steady?"
Are all those who practice the art of Tianyan like this?
I haven’t seen the old master acting weird, have I?
"It must be that Tianlu hasn't cultivated enough!" Feng Ling'er thought secretly.
"Junior sister, don't talk about me in your heart in front of me!"
The sudden words scared Feng Ling'er.
"Okay, Brother, I trust you so much, and you actually snooped!"
"No, really not!"
Tianlu defended himself, saying innocently, "We're too close, and my cultivation is higher than yours. If you were to say something, I wouldn't need to decipher it, I'd be able to hear it. So next time, it's best not to mention the name of a powerful being in person. It's very dangerous."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he emphasized the three words "the Almighty" very strongly.
Feng Ling'er curled her lips, this pettiness was also passed down from generation to generation.
"Junior sister!"
"You said you didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I didn't say my name!" Feng Ling'er was angry, and the embroidered sword in her hand was about to be drawn.
Tianlu took a step back and said calmly, "Evil thoughts cannot arise either."
"Okay, you're so cruel! "
Feng Ling'er gave Tianlu a look, put away her embroidered sword, and turned to head towards the underworld.
Tianlu quickly chased after him.
…
Tianlu and Fengling'er went all the way to the underworld, entered the Ghost Gate, crossed the Yinshan Mountains, and arrived at the City of the Dead.
There has been chaos in the City of the Dead recently, and the Northern Ghost Emperor is having a headache. When he heard the purpose of the two people's visit, he immediately smiled with joy.
"Hurry up and ask this lady to leave. If you delay any longer, all the ghosts in my City of the Dead will be devoured by her before they can even be liberated !"
As the daughter of the leader of the human race, the girl's soul came here after her unjust death, which was also blessed by good fortune. The little girl came to the city of the dead, and her soul wandered all day long. The resentful ghosts were infected by her sadness and collectively erupted.
The four ghost kings couldn't suppress it, so they had to ask the Ghost Emperor to come back and take charge.
But facing the emperor's daughter who was blessed by the luck of the human race, the Northern Ghost Emperor was also at a loss.
Can't be beaten, can't be suppressed, can't be trapped.
This is an ancestor.
He could only serve her and didn't dare to interfere.
Ever since the Emperor's daughter came here, the Ghost Emperor has been watching her, fearing that any trouble would harm the underworld.
After listening to this, Tianlu and the others also expressed sympathy for the Ghost Emperor's plight: "Thank you for your hard work, senior."
The Ghost Emperor waved his hand and sighed, "You two should take her away quickly. I don't know why this lady is so sad. If it weren't for the good fortune of the human race protecting her soul from ignorance, she would have transformed into a Ghost King. With time, she could have become a Female Ghost Emperor."
The Northern Ghost Emperor actually recognized the girl's talent for ghost cultivation.
He told them that if it weren't for the human race's destiny to keep her, she would be destined to become a ghost.
"After you go back, you can tell the Taoist master that if this young lady is interested in me in the future, I can be her guide in the ghost way!" The Ghost Emperor had a serious expression on his face and did not look like he was lying at all.
Feng Ling'er thought about the scene of the human princess transforming into the female ghost emperor of the underworld, and she shuddered.
"Senior, if the co-leader knew your thoughts, he would probably come to the City of the Dead in person in the future." Tianlu's expression changed when he heard this, and then he looked at the Ghost Emperor meaningfully.
The Northern Ghost Emperor's eyes lit up, "Are you saying he will agree to my proposal?"
"No, he'll tear this place down!"
Tianlu said firmly.
…
In the Jishui River Basin, in the Youxiong tribe, a mortal woman accidentally saw a star surrounding the stars in the South Pole. Then the starlight fell. The woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son. The son was extraordinary. He could speak after ten days, walk after three months, and knew about yin and yang and the heavenly and earthly evil spirits at the age of five.
His surname is Ji and his given name is Xuanyuan.
At the same time that Xuanyuan was born, a child was also born in the Jiuli tribe.
This child had ears like swords and spears, and two horns on his head. He was extremely magical.
When the people of Jiuli tribe saw the two horns on his head, they thought that he would become a great sage who would benefit mankind like Shennong, so they invited the most knowledgeable witch in the tribe to name the child.
The witch did not want to disappoint the people of Jiuli.
He got up early and went to bed late, thinking about it for three days and three nights.
Finally, he performed a great dance to connect heaven and earth.
The child was named Chiyou.
Xuanyuan was born, and a sword-wielding immortal wearing linen clothes and cloth shoes came to the Youxiong tribe.
He claimed to be a disciple of the saint and wanted to accept Xuanyuan as his disciple.
Shaodian, the patriarch of the Youxiong clan, asked about his Taoist name and his immortal hometown.
"My name is Guangchengzi, and I come from Kunlun Mountain!"
The Taoist held his head high and chest out, with an extraordinary demeanor.
Shaodian was overjoyed and immediately asked his child to recognize this teacher.
