The woman's voice in the bell made Li Mingyue feel instantly clear-minded, and the heavy feeling on his shoulders disappeared instantly.
Even if she can't take action, as long as she is here, Li Mingyue will feel at ease and fearless.
He even wanted to carry his mother on his back, climb directly to Tianquan Mountain, and trample the so-called ancestral home of Taoism under his feet.
The state of mind before and after, the distance of three steps, the difference between the state of mind before and after, is a world of difference.
Li Mingyue said in a trembling voice: "Senior, are you awake?"
The woman in the bell said: "Well, I've actually woken up a long time ago. I just don't want to ruin your mood. This is a rare opportunity for you. It's not easy for you to get here."
Li Mingyue was stunned for a moment, feeling bitter in his heart, because in his opinion, this was really nothing.
The woman in the bell continued: "Ordinary people can't get here. But if you ask me to explain it clearly, I can't explain it clearly, but it is indeed not easy, so you... are very good."
The woman in the bell continued: "Actually, you can also take a trip to Tianquan Mountain, which will be more rewarding for you. Of course, I can't take action. As for your choice, it's all up to you."
Li Mingyue was stunned for a moment and fell into thinking.
Li Mingyue finally shook her head and said: "Let's talk about it when we come back. Master said before that you have to do things well one by one. What I have to do now is to bring my mother to my father."
Li Mingyue originally thought that when she said these words, the woman in the bell would be disappointed, but it seemed not to be the case. The woman in the bell just said: "That's okay."
So Li Mingyue did not set foot on Tianquan Mountain. As for what benefits he missed, Li Mingyue naturally didn't know, but he actually didn't care much.
He was not afraid, because the moment the woman in the bell spoke, he no longer had any fear. He also believed that even if the woman in the bell could not take action, even if he set foot on Tianquan Mountain, he would still be able to survive.
This is an inexplicable trust, trust in the woman in the bell, so since she asked him to go to Tianquan Mountain for a trip, she was naturally confident that he could get down safely.
But as Li Mingyue himself said, his main purpose now is to take his mother to the border of Qi State. In order to achieve this goal, he can give up any benefit, no matter how important this benefit is to him.
All the way through Tianquan Mountain, not a single disciple of Tianquan Mountain came forward. This was something Li Mingyue did not expect.
After passing Tianquan Mountain and heading west, Li Mingyue walked briskly without encountering any obstacles, so it took him two months to reach the border between the human world and the demon soil.
This is a barren land, with thousands of miles of yellow sand and not a single blade of grass growing.
Li Mingyue took out a kettle and took a sip of water. She raised her head slightly and glanced at the sun. It was hot summer, and the climate here was dry, giving people a burning feeling.
Then Li Mingyue took out another map, which was given to him by the tombkeeper. What was drawn on it was the scenery of the border, and the location of his father was marked on it.
After determining the general direction, Li Mingyue continued to move forward.
As we continue to go west, some loess slopes begin to appear in the yellow sand, layer upon layer, intermittent, and some grass grows, which is tenacious in the yellow sand.
After walking like this for three or four days, we entered a depression, and then there was a canyon with two mounds on both sides, which was roughly similar to what the old man Mai had drawn.
According to the map, as long as you pass through this canyon, you will have stepped onto the demon land. It was here that his father resisted the demon clan until he died of exhaustion.
After passing the canyon, Li Mingyue walked south. At this time, he could already see some low shrubs and some huge cacti, and then a pool appeared, but the water was silvery white.
At the edge of the pool, there was a little girl in black, sitting on a huge dead tree, with her snow-white feet exposed, dangling in the air.
As if she had discovered Li Mingyue, her expression changed, and under the light, she plunged into the pool and disappeared.
Li Mingyue is not too surprised by this scene. After practicing, he has seen stranger things than this. Li Mingyue has come into contact with fox monsters, ghost babies, and mountain gods. What's more, this place belongs to the demon land, so it is even more reasonable.
among.
Li Mingyue suddenly noticed that the four-legged snake seemed to have some strange movements. It jumped directly from Li Mingyue's shoulder and rushed towards the pool.
Li Mingyue did not stop him, but continued to move forward until he reached a hill beside the pool.
There are two trees planted on the hill, but the leaves are golden yellow. Half of the big tree has dried up, and only the remaining half still supports the lush branches and leaves.
Under the two trees, there is a tomb with a tombstone, which reads "Emperor Li Xuan of the Tang Dynasty" in six characters. In the lower left corner, it reads "Although our demon clan does not like humans, we admire this man's bravery, so
"Collect the body here" are the words.
Li Mingyue looked at it and couldn't help but feel a touch of bitterness.
The majestic Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the king of a country, the man who maintained peace for mankind, finally died on the battlefield, but it was the demon clan who collected his body. How ironic.
Li Mingyue put down the coffin that had not been put down for three months and placed it next to the grave. Then she kowtowed sixteen times in front of the grave and then lay directly under the tree and closed her eyes.
In the past three months, Li Mingyue has done almost nothing except rushing, no cultivation, no sword practice.
At this moment, things were finally done, my heart finally relaxed, and I passed out.
The sun was setting in the west, and Li Mingyue didn't wake up.
The bright moon hung on the treetops, and Li Mingyue did not wake up.
The sun rises and sets, the clouds and sunshine wax and wane, and as the day goes by, the little ghost jumps out of the soil, jumps to the small tree, hangs on the branch, and sways from side to side.
In the pool, the little girl in black emerged from the water again. After seeing the four-legged snake on the shore, she curled her lips, then looked at the two trees, with a hint of sadness between her eyebrows.
Li Mingyue slept for seven days and nights, and then opened her eyes when the sun rose on the eighth day.
The first thing Li Mingyue did when she opened her eyes was that she jumped up, then plunged into the pool of water, making a huge splash. Then the entire pool of water started to boil, so that the little girl could only
Being able to leave the pool, he looked aggrieved.
Li Mingyue stood up from the pool, and then walked step by step towards the shore. With every step he took, his realm climbed higher. By the time he was halfway there, he was already in a quiet place. When he walked to the shore, he felt like a god.
The light enveloped his body, reflecting the silvery pool of water, creating auspicious clouds and auspiciousness.
This aura kept going up, and it was obvious that he wanted to break through to the martial realm in one fell swoop, but it was still suppressed by Li Mingyue, and finally stayed at the peak of the Shenzhao realm.
The woman in the bell asked: "Why don't you enter the martial realm in one fell swoop?"
Li Mingyue smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm a little scared."
He went on to explain: "If I walk too fast in the ninth level of the spiritual body, I am afraid that my foundation will be unstable. Especially that tone, I always feel that it lacks some meaning."
The woman in the bell clicked her tongue and said: "But it's really rare. With your talent and such an opportunity, you can think of these things. It's really beyond my expectation."
Li Mingyue just smiled awkwardly.
The woman in the bell said: "Other than that, the mortal relationship is still over, and the martial realm may not be much, but the Guiyuan realm will definitely have an impact, so entering the martial realm actually doesn't matter much, but if you want to enter the Guiyuan realm,
It’s better to put an end to the mortal bond first.”
Li Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and did not regret having suppressed the realm, nor was she worried because she suddenly reached the divine illumination realm.
The woman in the bell then asked: "What are your plans next? Revenge if you have a grudge, or complain if you have a grudge?"
Li Mingyue shook her head and said: "With my current strength, revenge is still too far away, but I want to go to Haojing. No matter what, my father has to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, and I also have to recognize my ancestors and return to the clan.
, his ranking should appear in the ancestral hall of the Li family, and his name should also be known."
The woman in the bell said: "Where is your mother?"
Li Mingyue was stunned.
The woman in the bell said: "Would you rather go to the Ancestral Temple of the Tang Dynasty or Zhenwu Mountain?"
Li Mingyue did not answer, but asked: "After a person dies, can the soul really still exist?"
The woman in the bell did not answer immediately, but was silent for a long time before saying: "I don't know, but generally people who are successful in spiritual practice can have immortal bodies and souls. This thing is a bit mysterious, just like me,
Even if the soul is suppressed in this Chaos Bell, the physical body has already disappeared."
Li Mingyue asked again: "In other words, a person can indeed be brought back to life?"
The woman in the bell said: "Yes, but it involves a lot, and the consequences are very serious. Most people can't bear it."
She seemed to know Li Mingyue's thoughts and said, "You can't be?"
Li Mingyue nodded: "No matter what the cost, I am willing to bear it."
The woman in the bell fell silent again, and after a long time she sighed and said: "Your mother may be able to do it, but your father has no hope. His soul may have already entered reincarnation, and even your mother doesn't have much hope."
.”
Li Mingyue seemed to have known such a result for a long time. She walked towards the two trees and asked: "How can you know that a person's soul still seems to exist?"
"Spiritualism is a very dangerous technique. It originally came from Taoism, but it was later abandoned by Taoism and became a technique used by people who practice ghost ways. This kind of technique will cause great damage to the soul, and even
It requires a price of life, so people who practice the ghost way often cannot live forever, and even worse, they will not have any future lives. This is why the ghost way obviously originated from Taoism, but it has become an evil heretic."
Li Mingyue just nodded and said nothing.
The woman in the bell did not speak. She would not advise Li Mingyue on what he should do or what he should not do. There were some things that Li Mingyue had to make by himself. This was related to what kind of path he would take in the future and what he would do in this life.
How far is the road?
In the final analysis, whether it is a ghost path or a righteous path, it is all practice. As long as you can achieve enlightenment, the process is not important and no one will care.
