Chapter 1611 Psychic Skeleton
All the spiritual practitioners in Nanyue knew this secret.
At first, many spiritual practitioners disdained to trade with local cultivators.
But gradually, as more and more spiritual practitioners traded with local cultivators, people's hearts inevitably changed after hearing similar rumors.
Every spiritual practitioner who had traded with Wanzong City returned with a full load!
The rules set by Xiao Mian were actually very simple.
Even if the spiritual practitioners really had nothing to offer, as long as the other party's request was not too excessive, Wanzong City would try its best to satisfy them.
The purpose was not wealth, but peace!
For most spiritual practitioners, the things they brought out might not be worth a penny in the spiritual world, but they were still useful in this world.
There were also some spiritual practitioners who wanted to blackmail someone with the intention of filling the gap.
If they could persuade them with kind words, Wanzong City would try its best to persuade them with kind words.
If they still didn't know how to advance or retreat after saying all the good words, Xiao Mian had a promise in advance.
That was - break the dog's legs and send them back to the spiritual world!
Of course, this is for ordinary Yuanying spiritual practitioners...
If the other party is really outnumbered, Wanzong City will have to spend money to avoid disaster.
Now that everything is settled, Xiao Mian has to go to the Gate of the Underworld!
Through the crystal, Xiao Mian has already made an appointment with the Demon Saint of the Spirit Realm.
Within a year, the Ghost Emperor's envoy will go to the Demon Realm to discuss cooperation matters.
Therefore, Xiao Mian must deal with the Ghost Emperor as soon as possible.
But how easy is it for the Ghost Emperor to give up the bet with the Buddha and take the initiative to admit defeat?
Xiao Mian can almost imagine: this time, the Gate of the Underworld will be full of twists and turns.
And Fu Qingqiong also made Xiao Mian sad.
The Gate of the Underworld has become a forbidden place that Xiao Mian is more afraid of.
Although it is a forbidden place, he has to go!
But just when Xiao Mian went straight from the Five Elements Gate to the ground and was about to walk out of the underground passage, a warning sign appeared, and the next moment, a faint light attacked Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian shouted, and the Ten Thousand Poisons and Primordial Golden Gang suddenly appeared before his eyes.
A faint light pierced the Ten Thousand Poisons and Primordial Golden Gang, but it was not even a inch of gold. The Ten Thousand Poisons and Primordial Golden Gang was also hit and trembled constantly, and it was about to break.
With a thought, Xiao Mian blew up the Ten Thousand Poisons and Primordial Golden Gang.
As the strong fluctuations passed, three Ghost Dao Tianzun appeared at the entrance of the passage.
Two of them were the two ghost cultivators stationed here when Xiao Mian came last time.
Another person looked at Xiao Mian with a fierce look, with an unfriendly look.
When Xiao Mian saw that person, his eyes turned cold and his heart sank.
The Nine Nether Emperor - Xia Jiuyou!
It is unknown whether Xia Jiuyou met by chance or had been waiting here all along.
In short, Xia Jiuyou clearly had ulterior motives!
If it were not for the advance warning of the Spirit-Seeing Eye and the unusual toughness of the Ten Thousand Poisons and Primordial Golden Gang, Xiao Mian would have been seriously injured even if he did not die.
Besides, the previous incident with the ghost in the underworld was no coincidence!
Obviously, Xia Jiuyou must kill Xiao Mian as soon as possible...
His eyes swept over the three Ghost Dao Heavenly Lords, and Xiao Mian looked directly at Xia Jiuyou.
"Senior Xia! What do you mean by this?"
"Boy! Don't blame me for being ruthless, it's really your existence that is the bond of the young master! Today, I will - kill first and report later!"
"Qing Qiong? Does she know you want to kill me?"
"Do you know what the difference is? This day next year will be your death anniversary!"
After that, Xia Jiuyou attacked again without talking to Xiao Mian.
"Nine Netherworld Book" was the first to bear the brunt.
Seeing that the two ghost cultivators guarding the passage did not attack together, Xiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief first - obviously, what happened today was done by Xia Jiuyou alone!
Otherwise, if the three Ghost Dao Heavenly Lords joined forces, Xiao Mian would not even have a dregs left!
Now there is only one Xia Jiuyou, Xiao Mian is not without the ability to fight...
Facing the "Nine Nether Book", Xiao Mian released the artifact Tai Chi.
The "Nine Nether Book" was once a magical treasure that could reach the sky, but because Xia Jiuyou was sealed in the imperial mausoleum for nearly ten thousand years, it dropped in rank and became a top-level magic weapon.
Later, Xia Jiuyou was used by the Ghost Emperor, who used both kindness and power to grant him a magic pill, and forcibly upgraded the rank of the "Nine Nether Book" to a magical treasure that could reach the sky.
If it weren't for the artifact Tai Chi in his hand, Xiao Mian really wouldn't dare to challenge the other party.
Now, the two magical treasures that could reach the sky are fighting each other endlessly.
The "Nine Nether Book" is actually a book of ghosts.
The spirit of the "Nine Nether Book" is described as withered and skinny, just like the ghost soldiers and ghosts in the underworld, lifeless and full of yin.
The spirit of the artifact Tai Chi is a lively and active bear child.
The "Nine Netherworld Book" turned into pieces of spiritual paper, as sharp as a knife and as tough as armor. It can attack and defend at the same time. It is an integrated attack and defense.
The Tai Chi artifact is extremely fast, shuttling back and forth, but it can't stop the flying spiritual paper.
Layers of spiritual paper overlapped, and the Tai Chi artifact couldn't cut or pierce through!
Seeing this, Xiao Mian thought to himself - scissors!
The Tai Chi artifact spirit was stunned when he heard it, and then his face was full of smirk.
The next moment, the Tai Chi artifact changed from the previous flying sword form to a huge pair of scissors, opening and closing, and the blade was sharp.
Seeing this, Xia Jiuyou was surprised by the change of the Tai Chi artifact, so he wanted to temporarily collect the "Nine Netherworld Book", but he didn't expect that there was a piece of spiritual paper that was a beat slower.
Click!
After a sound, the spiritual paper was cut in half by the Tai Chi scissors!
Whether it is a flying sword or a scissors, the power of the Tai Chi artifact is the same.
The reason why the flying sword cannot cut off the spiritual paper is because the paper itself has its own toughness, and the unilateral force of the flying sword cannot be fully applied to the spiritual paper.
But scissors are different!
The scissors have two cutting edges that work together to double the effect!
The spiritual paper "Nine Netherworld Book" is broken in two, so bad that it is not unfair.
But, how could Xia Jiuyou be willing to give up?
He originally came here to kill Xiao Mian, but he didn't want to fight. Xiao Mian was unscathed, but the "Nine Netherworld Book" that he relied on to achieve enlightenment was destroyed.
"Damn it! Today I want you to know: How dare I call myself the Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds!"
As he spoke, Xia Jiuyou's body swayed and he separated into nine clones.
Each of the nine Nine Netherworld clones is a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator.
Coupled with Xia Jiuyou, who is already in the realm of Tianzun, how can we fight this battle?
"Senior Xia, calm down! This junior is not here to discuss the relationship between men and women with your young master, but to discuss important matters in the spiritual world with Senior Ghost Emperor!"
"You have confused my young master, and you want to confuse my master?"
I don’t know whether Xia Jiuyou is really dedicated to serving the public, or whether he is pretending to be confused because he understands. Obviously, Xia Jiuyou does not intend to let Xiao Mian go easily.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian had to calculate his retreat...
One Xia Jiuyou was already difficult enough, not to mention there were two spirit world ghost cultivators near the passage, both of whom were powerful Heavenly Masters. Xiao Mian had no chance of forcing his way through.
But at this moment, a cold snort resounded throughout the audience.
"Hmph! Xia Jiuyou! You are so brave!"
As soon as the words passed, Fu Qingqiong appeared in black clothes.
Xia Jiuyou's expression changed drastically when he heard this. When Xiao Mian saw this, his expression relaxed.
As long as Fu Qingqiong arrives, there will be some room for maneuver - although Fu Qingqiong has always been cold and ruthless towards Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian always feels that there is an opportunity to take advantage of.
At the worst, Fu Qingqiong wouldn't watch herself being killed by Xia Jiuyou, would she?
"Young Master! This old slave is really here for you! This boy is so evil!"
"That's enough! It's not your turn to take care of my affairs! This time you deceived the superiors and concealed your evil intentions. I will punish you to face the wall in the Bone Tower to think about your faults!"
"Young Master! Don't let this kid fool you!"
"Xia Jiuyou! Do you really think that I dare not kill you?" As he spoke, a token appeared in front of Fu Qingqiong - this order is called the Ten Thousand Ghosts Order, which was given to Fu Qingqiong by the Ghost Emperor himself to control ghost cultivators in the spiritual world. , even Xia Jiuyou is no exception!
Xia Jiuyou's expression changed again and again when he saw Wangui Ling.
Even the two spirit world ghost cultivators guarding the passage also bowed and saluted.
"Why don't you go quickly!?"
"..., old slave, obey!"
Staring at Xiao Mian fiercely, Xia Jiuyou put away the ninth level clone and walked towards the White Bone Demon Tower without saying a word.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief.
But it was Fu Qingqiong, looking coldly at Xiao Mian with an unkind expression.
"Xiao Mian! Don't be so sentimental! Remember the agreement between you and Master, why don't you get out of here before I change my mind!?"
"Fellow Daoist Fu! Xiao came here just to see Senior Ghost Emperor!"
"How presumptuous! Master has a lot of things to do every day, how can you just see it when you say you can?"
"Of course Xiao doesn't have this face! However, I think you can contact the senior ghost emperor, right? Please help me plan for South Vietnam!"
"..."
Hearing this, Fu Qingqiong didn't say anything for a long time, just looking at Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian did not back down and looked directly into Fu Qingqiong's dark eyes.
"I advise you to think clearly! If you are still so dishonest after meeting the master, it will not be as simple as a small punishment or a big warning!"
"Thank you Daoyou Fu for your help!"
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Fu Qingqiong turned around and left, and Xiao Mian quickly followed.
The two ghost cultivators at the entrance of the passage looked at each other and said nothing.
Let's say that the two of them entered the White Bone Demon Tower one after the other and reached the top of the demon tower.
Without further ado, Fu Qingqiong took out a white skeleton.
I saw the skull, which was crystal clear, like a pink jade carving.
This object is called a psychic skeleton. The Ghost Emperor left this object in case of emergency. Through this object, Fu Qingqiong can temporarily contact the Ghost Emperor.
Fu Qingqiong cast a spell, causing the psychic skeleton to bloom with spiritual light. These spiritual lights eventually converged into the two eye holes of the psychic skeleton.
Xiao Mian and Fu Qingqiong appeared in one of the eye holes; in the other eye hole, a ghost emperor dressed in black appeared—Ghost Emperor Netherworld!
"Is it you? Humph! Qiong'er! Are you entangled with him again?"
When he first saw Xiao Mian, the Ghost Emperor's expression remained unmoved and his words contained displeasure.
Fu Qingqiong's delicate body trembled when she heard this, and she knelt on the ground, not daring to defend herself.
But it was Xiao Mian who couldn't stand it...
When Leng Ningyu was still alive, there weren't such big rules.
Why did he change his master and start blabbing and staring? Why are you putting on such a stinky air?
"Senior Ghost Emperor..."
"Humph! You have no business talking!"
Before Xiao Mian could say anything, the Ghost Emperor snorted coldly.
In an instant, an extremely cold current emanated from the psychic skeleton, filling the entire White Bone Demon Tower and wrapping around Xiao Mian.
Even a man as powerful as Xiao Mian couldn't help but shudder.
What a show - a show of force!
It's just that since Xiao Mian wants to stand out, he can't just shrink back.
The poisonous relics were running wildly, and Xiao Mian gritted his teeth.
"Senior Ghost Emperor! Senior Demon Saint, please order me to greet you!"
"..."
When the Ghost Emperor heard this, he remained silent, but the cold current disappeared.
"You kid! That's okay! When did you hook up with that black dragon?"
"Senior, please allow me to report!"
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian relayed some of the conversations between him and the Demon Saint to the Ghost Emperor.
"The Ghost Dao and the Demon Realm join forces to fight against the Buddhist and Taoist sects? In exchange, you want me to deliberately lose to that old Buddha?"
"Senior! There is gain and loss! Lose in one corner, gain in another!"
"Hmph! Hahaha... good boy! Although your world is small, isn't it enough for you to calculate? How dare you calculate this emperor and the Demon Saint?"
"Senior!"
"Do you know how to write the word 'death'?"
As soon as these words came out, the ghost emperor's phantom in the spiritual skull suddenly became real.
Xiao Mian felt his whole body tighten, and he couldn't move - let alone move his hands and feet, even his heartbeat and breathing were imprisoned and couldn't be controlled.
Xiao Mian even felt: his thoughts stagnated...
In an instant, from life to death!
I don't know how long it took before Xiao Mian suddenly came back to his senses.
Panting heavily, Xiao Mian looked at the ghost emperor's phantom with horror.
Fu Qingqiong was right!
If you are not careful when meeting the ghost emperor, you will not even know how you died!
But since the ghost emperor did not kill him, it is expected that he will not kill him...
"Boy! You are so brave! If you dare to plot against me again next time, I promise: you will never wake up from the 'ten thousand calamities of death'!"
Ten thousand calamities of death, obviously, this is a kind of ghost magic used by the ghost emperor!
Killing with one look, ten thousand calamities of death!
"Thank you, senior, for not killing me!"
"Tell me!"
"Yes!"
Concentrating his mind, Xiao Mian told the ghost emperor his plan.
The plan is actually very simple: the ghost emperor gave up the bet with the Buddha, so that Xiao Mian could get the support of the Buddhist sect, and at the same time, the demon saint and the ghost emperor reached an alliance.
"Although the plan is crude, it's not bad! However, you missed one point: even if this emperor and the demon saint join forces, they are no match for the Renhuang Palace!"
The Renhuang Palace is the only one in the spirit world, occupying almost half of the country.
Facing the doubts of the Ghost Emperor, Xiao Mian was well prepared.
"What if the Demon Lord is included?"
"You dare to plot against that demon?"
"Senior! Everything depends on human effort!" Staring at the phantom of the Ghost Emperor, Xiao Mian said calmly: "However, to get the Demon Lord to join the game, you need to join forces with the Demon Saint first!"
"..., that's right! That demon has always been a profit-seeker! If he doesn't see any profit, he will definitely not join easily!"
"Senior!"
"This emperor understands! This emperor will send an envoy to the demon realm to discuss and negotiate with the Demon Saint. If possible, this emperor doesn't mind joining forces with the Demon Saint!"
"Thank you, Senior Ghost Emperor!"
"Hmph! You have your calculations, and I have my plans! But you made me lose the bet with the old Buddha, and this emperor is - very unhappy!"
A cold snort passed by, and a faint light shot out from the psychic skeleton.
Although Xiao Mian wanted to hide, he didn't dare to hide!
Besides, Xiao Mian was also very clear: How could he hide from the Ghost Emperor's methods?
Ghost Emperor, this is clearly a small punishment, teach Xiao Mian a lesson!
The faint light entered his body, and Xiao Mian trembled all over, and fell to the ground.
Fu Qingqiong, who had been crawling on the ground, suddenly raised his head and looked at the Ghost Emperor.
The Ghost Emperor looked at Xiao Mian, who was lying on the ground, and was stunned, and he was silent.
After a long time, the Ghost Emperor looked at Fu Qingqiong and sighed.
"Qiong'er! Can't you let him go?"
"..."
"What are the three realms and six paths to fear? Only lovesickness is the most tormenting! Qiong'er! Don't let down your master's hard work! You and this kid are destined to be incompatible! In the future, your master will definitely lead you to the spirit world, and this kid will only fend for himself!"
"Qiong'er! I dare not let down the master's grace of rebirth!"
"It's best if you can think so! Remember! This person is the inner demon on your path of cultivation. If you can't cut it off, even if you reach the spirit world, it will be in vain!"
"......, yes!"
"The matter of the alliance with the demon saint is of great importance, and your master cannot give a definite answer for a while. You can do whatever you want about the forbidden training!"
"Yes!"
"My master is leaving! Take care of yourself!"
After speaking, the ghost emperor's shadow gradually dissipated, and the spiritual skull returned to peace.
Fu Qingqiong then stood up, put away the spiritual skull, and looked at Xiao Mian.
From the beginning to the end, Xiao Mian just fell to the ground, motionless...
After a long time, Fu Qingqiong snorted coldly.
With a wave of his hand, he picked up Xiao Mian and walked towards his quiet room.
In the quiet room, there was only a bed and a seat, and no other furnishings.
After carefully laying Xiao Mian flat on the bed, Fu Qingqiong remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, Fu Qingqiong turned around and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly her sleeves tightened - Xiao Mian, who was unconscious, tightly grabbed Fu Qingqiong's sleeves and refused to let go.
Hmph!
Sure enough, you are lying to me again!
With this thought in mind, Fu Qingqiong felt relieved deep in her heart.
When she thought of that little bit of joy again, Fu Qingqiong's face sank and snorted coldly.
Master is right!
This person is the inner demon on the road of cultivation!
If you can't swing the sword to cut the love, you will be tangled and messy!
With this in mind, Fu Qingqiong tried to forcefully break free from Xiao Mian's pull, but Xiao Mian suddenly opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other in silence.
"Let go!"
"Qingqiong!"
"Fu Qingqiong is already dead! If you continue to pester me, don't blame me..."
"What?"
"..."
"Qingqiong! I know you are still the same Qingqiong! Still my second senior sister! Otherwise, you wouldn't be wearing this——Blue Phoenix Feather Robe!"
While speaking, Xiao Mian lifted his finger, revealing a section of the blue sleeve.
Blue background with yellow patterns, phoenix flying, isn't it the Blue Phoenix Feather Robe?
Although Fu Qingqiong was wearing a large black robe on the outside, she was wearing the Blue Phoenix Feather Robe that Xiao Mian gave her inside.
Her expression changed again and again, and Fu Qingqiong finally sighed dejectedly.
"My enemy! How much debt of love did I owe you in my last life?"
"Qingqiong! It's not you who owe me, but I owe you!" While speaking, Xiao Mian pulled Fu Qingqiong to the bed, sat up, hugged Fu Qingqiong's delicate body, and said kindly: "In this life! Let me pay you back!"
"..."
Fu Qingqiong, for a long time, did not speak...
