Eternal Tranquility

When he saw the true appearance of the Wenshi sect's back mountain, Liu Qinghuan was so surprised that he couldn't recover for a long time.

He thought he would see a fairyland on earth like the mountain in front of him, but in front of him was a deep abyss, and he could hear the faint sound of water coming up.

He thought he would see a peak higher than the nine peaks of the previous mountain, but in front of him were extremely thick stone pillars, like mountain peaks, rising straight into the sky from the abyss!

Between the stone pillars, there are countless thick chains that are thicker than humans, like a densely woven network, trapping the darkness of the abyss.

Mingyangzi stood aside quietly, waiting for Liu Qinghuan to finally come to his senses, and then laughed: "Did you not expect that the back mountain would be like this?"

Liu Qinghuan nodded blankly, put away his shock, and asked: "Master, why is this happening?"

Mingyangzi summoned Dapeng and asked him to sit on it, walking among the stone pillars and chains, and then slowly said: "Because the back mountain does not exist on the Yunmengze continent, but is a separate space. Under the abyss here, there is a space crack leading to the Nine Nether Realm. These ninety-nine and eighty-one Optimus Stone Pillars are the Demon Sealing Pillars crafted by the founder of the sect, Wen Shizhenren, to seal this crack. We, the Wenshi Sect, established our sect here to protect the existence of these demon-sealing pillars and prevent the evil spirits and monsters from the Nine Nether Realm from invading Yunmengze."

Liu Qinghuan looked at the abyss and felt his heart pounding: "The Realm of Nine Netherworlds? Does this kind of place really exist?"

"Of course. Reincarnation, life and death. The superior Qingming descends into the Nine Netherworlds. The Nine Heavens Qingming and the Nine Nether Hells are both large realms beyond the nine thousand worlds."

Liu Qinghuan stammered: "Then...then...can these demon-sealing pillars seal the cracks below?"

Ming Yangzi said solemnly: "You don't have to worry. For at least fifty thousand years, under the protection of our Wenshi sect's successive monks, not a single evil ghost or demon has escaped from the cracks."

"oh."

No wonder Zuozhishan and Jiyue refused to live in the back mountain... Living next to such a space crack, you have to worry about something rushing out from below. Just thinking about it makes you feel infiltrated!

Liu Qinghuan glanced at his master sadly, feeling that he would not dare to close his eyes when sleeping in the future. Every time he went in and out of the back mountain, he had to pass through this abyss, so he had the urge to turn around and go back to the front mountain.

At this time, Ming Yangzi suddenly burst into laughter. Liu Qinghuan looked at him in astonishment, not knowing why.

"Hahaha, but this was all 20,000 years ago. In fact, the space crack was completely closed 20,000 years ago." Mingyangzi said with a smile: "So now these demon-sealing pillars are just It’s just a decoration.”

Liu Qinghuan...

He discovered that after being in contact with her for a long time, Ming Yangzi, who seemed like an immortal and mysterious person to outsiders, had quite a bit of an old naughty personality in private.

"There is a kind of spineless fish in the river below the abyss. Its meat is tender and delicious. Remember to catch a few more for me later." In the end, Ming Yangzi did not forget to add.

The terrifying and gloomy feeling in the back mountain had mostly dissipated, and Liu Qinghuan was completely speechless.

Only now did he understand that the sympathetic look Zuo Zhishan gave him before was not that he wanted to live in such a terrible place, but that he would be put in a different position. Probably both he and Ji Yue were deceived like this back then.

Seeing Liu Qinghuan relax, Mingyangzi's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness: Even if the space crack is closed, it will still be much thinner than other places. How could these ninety-nine and eighty-one demon-sealing pillars, which had taken countless generations of monks from the Wenshi Sect to reinforce and maintain, be just decorations!

However, his disciples have just begun their spiritual journey and have weak minds. This responsibility is too heavy for them to bear now. So it's better to treat this as a joke, don't take it all to heart, but at least have a little vigilance about this place.

As he spoke, Dapeng had flown past several demon-sealing pillars and arrived at a mountain range surrounding the abyss.

After passing through a large formation, spiritual energy that was several times richer than anywhere else in the front mountain rushed towards his face and poured directly into his body and mind.

Mingyangzi pointed to a valley full of white mist in the distance: "There is the Shangqing Youxu Great Cave of our Wenshi sect. This cave was discovered at the same time as the space cracks, so if you want to have the big cave, just We must take on the responsibility of guarding the cracks in space. Gaining and giving have their own natural principles and responsibilities.”

Liu Qinghuan nodded in understanding, but most of his attention fell on the looming courtyards or palaces hidden in the mountains.

There are many restrictions on the back mountain. Dapeng has already flown to a big mountain. Mingyangzi casts several more magic tricks to unlock the mountain's protective formation.

In just a moment, Liu Qinghuan had obtained three pass tokens. Thinking about how troublesome it would be to go out in the future, I thought I might as well concentrate on seclusion.

This mountain is covered with green spiritual bamboos, which is very similar to the environment of Zhulin Mountain. They landed in front of a large courtyard with white walls and black tiles on the top of the mountain.

Mingyangzi led Liu Qinghuan inside, pointing to various places and saying: "The small courtyard in front is my master's residence, and the two buildings belong to your two senior brothers. There are two small courtyards across the garden in the back. It is originally a guest courtyard, and there are separate protective arrays in the courtyard. You can choose the one you like to live in. "

Liu Qinghuan looked carefully and saw that each of these small courtyards was relatively independent. There was a large garden and a mirror lake in the middle. The scenery was so beautiful that it was like a paradise.

He chose a small courtyard next to the lake. The courtyard had everything, so there was no need for any additional arrangements. Then he put his commonly used things in each room and came to the underground cultivation quiet room.

The four walls of the quiet room have been specially treated. In addition to the original set of magic formations, Liu Qinghuan has also set up a Four Elephants and Bagua formation.

Although Ming Yangzi's residence is safe, the most important and confidential matter of cultivating as a monk is to make yourself completely at ease.

In addition, the aquatic wood energy array was placed in the middle of the quiet room. I rummaged through the storage ring and found a landscape painting.

This picture was obtained from the ancient immortal mansion. After he put it away, he threw it behind his mind. Only then did Liu Qinghuan remember that he still had this picture when he turned it out.

He looked at the painting for a long time, then stared at the chess game to study, trying to see if the same scene would happen again. Nothing happened.

After thinking about it, he hung the painting on the wall of the quiet room.

Returning to the small courtyard on the ground, he chose a sealed room and took out the four jars of monkey wine.

These four jars of wine have not yet been finished. Before, I kept it in a storage bag since I had no conditions for it outside. Now that they are back, it is natural to let them continue to soak.

After the busy work, I can finally relax and have a good sleep.

The next day, Liu Qinghuan, who felt light and refreshed, got up early and sat leisurely under the willow tree by the lake. He placed some spiritual tea on the table and drank tea with Mingyangzi and his senior brother Zuo Zhishan.

Zuo Zhishan laughed and said, "Junior brother, your spirit beast is quite interesting."

Liu Qinghuan turned around and saw that on the grass by the lake, the little hoof-horned beast was following Dapeng, while the little monkey was following behind the little hoof-horned beast.

Qingming refers to the place above the nine heavens where the pure Qi is superior. It is the first divine realm of the three thousand realms. Jiuyou is the place where turbid energy gathers under the eighteen heavens, and the world is the Yinluo ghost world.

The Taoist hell world includes four levels of Blood Lake Hell, nine levels of Nine Nether Hells, eighteen levels of Mount Tai Hell, twenty-four levels of Fengdu Hell, thirty-six levels of Nvqing Hell, and so on. The ruler is Emperor Fengdu, who holds the highest position among the gods of the Underworld. He is in charge of the Underworld and is the sect of ghosts in the world.
