Cui Yu, who was hanging in the air, shook his head and said directly: "It is very simple but also extremely difficult. Just cut off this tree vine, but..."
"These eighteen floors of underground buildings are all providing strength for this tree vine. It is not easy to cut it off."
Xu Ping looked at the seemingly extremely thin vine, and was stunned. Could it really be cut through?
But now that you’re here, why not give it a try!
Without saying a word, Xu Ping slashed out with his sword. The golden sword light soared into the sky and struck the vines. A harsh sizzling sound was immediately heard.
This sword light kept vibrating on the tree vines, making a series of sounds.
Xu Ping knew how tough the vines were, so he changed the method and used the sword light to vibrate at high frequencies to cut through the vines.
But unexpectedly, there was only a slight harsh sound, but the vines were still intact, and not even a bit of debris fell.
"It's so hard, no... I should say it's very firm."
Xu Ping secretly thought that this tree vine was just like himself.
Cui Yu obviously had no hope of repaying anything. He just shook his head and said, "It's useless. You should leave quickly. If you are found stuck here, you won't be able to leave."
The melee between the papermen and the evil spirits outside is still going on, and the noise from the fighting is endless.
Xu Ping also knew that it would be quite dangerous if he didn't leave here as soon as possible, but he still planned to try again.
After staring at the vines for a long time, Xu Ping discovered why the vines were so tough.
It is only because it contains extremely pure wood essence, and it is this extremely large wood essence that makes this tree vine have such a tough quality.
In other words, if you want to cut off the vines, you must first target the essence of wood contained in these vines.
"The essence of wood..."
Xu Ping talked to himself, and slowly, he had a solution in his mind.
Judge Cui Yu was still persuading, "I know you have Zhong Kui's orders and want to rescue me, but no matter what, you have to protect yourself first, and you must not act recklessly."
Xu Ping frowned slightly and chuckled: "Don't worry, Judge Cui. You can rest assured that I will not make fun of my own life, and we are not familiar enough to do so."
Cui Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "That's right, we're not that close, so you don't have to risk your life to save me."
Xu Ping did not speak to him anymore, but fell silent and entered an extremely mysterious state.
I still remember that after he finished with Zhou Lianqing for the first time, he sat cross-legged on the grass in front of the villa and entered a state of harmony between man and nature.
Xu Ping is now trying to regain the feeling he had at that time...
Hey, I promised before that I would definitely find her. I don’t know how long it has been, and I don’t know if she is calling me a scumbag again.
Xu Ping's consciousness was released for a moment, he concentrated again, and sat cross-legged on the ground, keeping his whole body in an extremely calm state.
By entering the realm of unity between man and nature, and then opening the body of the wood spirit, he can then practice silently reciting the Tongxuan Sutra here.
The essence of the surrounding wood may be pulled by itself, thereby directly absorbing the essence of the wood. However, the vines lacking the essence of wood can be cut off with a single sword.
Cui Yu didn't understand Xu Ping's situation at this time. He only saw him sitting cross-legged on the ground, seemingly entering a state of cultivation, which made him confused.
Didn't you say you wanted to save me?
After having a good conversation, you started practicing.
There is no such thing as you in cramming things at the last minute.
Under this situation, Cui Yu did not dare to interrupt Xu Ping, but just lowered his head and looked at him quietly.
Although Cui Yu's moral conduct was imprisoned by the vines, his eyesight was still there.
He found that Xu Ping's whole body was surrounded by surging Yin Qi, and these Yin Qi rushed into Xu Ping's body one by one.
At first it was like wisps of light smoke, then slowly it became like gurgling water, until finally, it was like a vast ocean with turbulent waves.
This was the first time Xu Ping showed his cultivation skills in front of others, and Cui Yu was instantly frightened.
What?!
Can cultivation still be like this?
No wonder the young man in front of him looks so young, but his moral integrity has reached a level that is shocking to the world.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
But can he be saved in this way? Cui Yu still maintains a skeptical attitude. No matter how high his personal moral conduct is, how can he compete with the essence of wood contained in the entire earth building.
I don't know how long it took, but Cui Yu suddenly realized that Xu Ping in front of him seemed to have ceased to exist.
If you close your eyes, you won't feel his presence at all.
Cui Yu's eyes widened and he looked at Xu Ping in front of him in disbelief.
He only felt that Xu Ping at this time seemed to have turned into a stubborn stone, and also seemed to have turned into a gust of wind, and his whole temperament became lighter and more agile.
This is……
Heaven and man are one!
As one of the four great judges of the underworld, Cui Yu could certainly see what was going on with Xu Ping.
The look of horror in his eyes could not be concealed. The state of unity between man and nature cannot be achieved casually. Cui Yu was surprised by this.
Even if he wants to achieve the state of unity between nature and man, he still needs to rely on external support, such as holding his own book of life and death in his hand, which can also achieve this effect.
But the Xu Ping in front of him had reached such a state entirely by himself.
His heart felt like a tsunami, making it difficult to calm down.
Xu Ping had no idea what Judge Cui Yu was thinking right now, and that he had completely reached the highest state of inner vision.
At this moment, he is his own king, and he can clearly control every change in his body.
In fact, he can now control his blood flow and metabolism.
Under such circumstances, if he activates the wood spirit body to absorb the essence of the surrounding wood, he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, when the essence of wood appeared, Xu Ping had the confidence to swallow all the essence of wood in one gulp like a glutton.
He continued to recite the Tongxuan Sutra silently, and his spiritual consciousness was like a tentacle, completely wrapping the tree vines hanging Cui Yu, trying to absorb the essence of these trees.
"There's a show!"
In addition to this attempt, a steady stream of wood essence flows into the body along with spiritual consciousness.
Xu Ping just felt like he was soaking in a hot spring, his whole body was warm and comfortable, and his progress in Taoism could be described as a rapid improvement.
The underground building that City King Yun had raised for thousands of years, in Xu Ping's eyes, was just a large power bank, with all the essence of wood pouring into his body crazily.
The tree vines emitted a faint green light, and Cui Yu could feel that the tree vines that bound him slowly became softer and more fragile.
This is exactly what it means to lose the essence of wood.
Cui Yu's eyes moved slightly and he was stunned.
I couldn't believe what was happening in front of me.
"Where did Zhong Kui find this person? Is he a human or a ghost?" Cui Yu couldn't see Xu Ping clearly at all, and there were complicated emotions brewing in his eyes.
At this time, Xu Ping had already opened his eyes and looked at Cui Yu hanging in the air. He felt strange in his heart that Judge Cui didn't look excited and happy about being out of trouble.
…
Xu Ping was feeling the crazily growing cultivation within his body, while Judge Cui Yu had broken free from the vines and landed on the ground.
"Your name is Xu Zhi?"
Cui Yu looked at Xu Ping sitting cross-legged on the ground and asked softly.
Xu Ping shook his head and directly revealed his identity, "Xu Ping, I have met Judge Cui."
He was still extremely polite, but Judge Cui Yu nodded, and now he showed his excitement for the rest of his life, "It seems that I, Cui Yu, have been in the underworld for a long time and have not been out and about, so I am a little ignorant."
Xu Ping smiled slightly and ignored his flattery.
Although what the other party said is true, Judge Cui Yu is the yin god who controls the book of life and death after all, and his position in the entire underworld is very important.
suddenly,
The ground began to shake and the ground floor swayed.
After absorbing the essence of wood contained in the underground building, the entire underground building seemed to have lost its support and became shaky, as if it was about to collapse in an instant.
The paper men and evil spirits who were fighting around the ground floor were also shaken by this and became unsteady on their feet.
The strength of both sides is not even close. No matter how hard they fight, both sides will suffer losses.
But Xu Ping was quite satisfied with this result. The previous paper figures did not have such strength. They had to rely on the accumulation of genius and earthly treasures to have such strength.
"Xu Ping, let's get out of here quickly!"
Cui Yu shouted towards Xu Ping, Xu Ping nodded and said: "Judge Cui, I have sent the information you told me before to Zhong Li, and the King of Peace and Ping of the City Network is also leading a group of evil soldiers.
Ghost, launch a siege on the inn."
Cui Yu nodded with satisfaction: "As long as they are prepared, it will not be difficult to escape the pursuit of the two traitors."
Xu Ping and Cui Yu stood side by side and flew out of the underground building.
"ah!"
"Cui Yu ran away, everyone hurry up and chase him!"
Many evil spirits saw Cui Yu's figure and shouted loudly.
Judge Cui Yu didn't even look at these evil ghosts. He flicked his sleeves and a large dense yellow dot flew out from his sleeves. When it landed on these evil ghosts, a large cloud of yellow smoke exploded instantly.
The evil ghosts who inhaled the yellow smoke immediately screamed and turned into ashes and disappeared.
The diffuse yellow smoke dissipated, and all the evil spirits on the scene were exterminated.
The paper figures have all disappeared, and the two figures in the sky have already escaped.
"Boom——"
Just at this moment, the underground building collapsed instantly like a piece of wood.
The whole underground building fell into silence.
Not long after, there was a sudden loud shout in the air, and the figure of the City King appeared, standing suspended in front of the collapsed underground building.
"who!"
"who is it!"
He roared to the sky, his voice hoarse.
After receiving the early warning from the ground floor, the City King rushed back, but he was still a step too late.
He never expected that when he went out to conquer the underworld, his home would be stolen.
The City King looked at the ruins in front of him, his insides were burning, and he wanted to cry without tears.
…
More than half a step outside the city.
Under the dim sky, two streams of light fell.
As soon as Cui Yu landed, he looked at Xu Ping with a smile and said, "I can escape from danger this time only because of Mr. Xu Ping's rescue. If I have to do anything in the future, I will definitely go all out."
Xu Ping pondered for a moment and said: "Before I came to the underworld, Zhenjun Zhongkui promised me that he would erase my name from the book of life and death. What do you think?"
Cui Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Haha, easy to talk about."
Erasing your name from the book of life and death means that you are not troubled by your life span.
But if you are killed by others or die in a disaster, you will still die.
Xu Ping did not struggle with this issue, he just looked at Cui Yu in front of him, his eyes moved slightly, "Judge Cui, now the situation has been very clear for more than half a step, and if you want to finally understand this disaster, maybe you still need to
We can go to Fengdu Underworld, why not go there?"
Originally he planned to join Song Qingling, but now that Zhong Kui can be rescued, Xu Ping plans to add him as well.
Cui Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly: "No, I plan to stay more than half a step away. I can't leave this place alone."
It is true that if the situation is left unchecked, even if the disaster can be solved, it will still cause great trouble in the future.
Everyone has their own ideas, and Xu Ping will not force it. He nodded and said: "Judge Cui, please do it yourself. If you have anything to say, let me bring it to True Lord Zhong Kui."
Cui Yu pondered and said: "Then please Mr. Xu Ping, please give Zhong Kui a message, just say...leave it to me after half a step, I am determined not to let it cause any more trouble."
Xu Pingjian frowned slightly, "Yes, I will definitely bring you."
Seeing Judge Cui Yu take a step forward, Xu Ping didn't ask him what his plans were, but he just felt a little surprised.
Generally speaking, after being rescued by others, you are eager to see those familiar to you.
Even if Judge Cui Yu has any thoughts in his heart, he can first go to Fengdu Underworld and discuss it before making a decision.
It was precisely because of such an abnormal behavior that Xu Ping asked him just now if he had anything to say to True Lord Zhong Kui.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Ping shook his head, forget it, what does this have to do with me?
After dealing with the disaster in the underworld, repaying Zhong Kui's favor, leaving a few names in the book of life and death, and quickly returned to the earth.
Save yourself from being called a scumbag.
Under the locust tree.
Song Qingling hugged her knees and sat under the canopy of a tree, which was basically the same as the previous scene waiting for Xu Ping.
But now, she had some different emotions in her heart.
Just after bringing the message to Zhong Li, Zhong Li made it clear to her that he was just a tool for their conversation.
If she was filled with joy and expectation just now, now she felt extremely melancholy in her heart.
At this moment, Xu Ping suddenly appeared from behind her and asked lightly, "You look a little unhappy. Is everything okay at the inn?"
He also learned some things through his incarnation. By the time they passed by, the inn had long been deserted and nothing was left.
But he still wanted to know if Zhong Li had anything to say and brought it here.
The reason why he chose not to show up this time was because he planned to stay in the dark. With his incarnation in the light and his body in the dark, it would be much easier to do things.
And leaving Song Qingling together, I also wanted to find a guide.
"He must like me."
After hearing what Xu Ping just said, Song Qingling was extremely sure in her heart.
Brother Xu first cared about my mood before asking about the inn, which proved that I must be more important than Zhong Li in Brother Xu's heart.
