Chapter 217 Escaped to more than a thousand years ago (1/3)
Xia Dongqing quickly submitted his resignation application to Zhao Li.
Official Zhao didn't stop him either. The mission he received from Pluto was to monitor Xia Dongqing, not to tie Xia Dongqing to him.
Therefore, it was best for Xia Dongqing to stay by his side. Even if he wanted to leave, he had no reason to stop her.
After confirming that Xia Dongqing was willing to resign that day, Zhu Li went to her parents to help arrange a new job the next day.
Xia Dongqing's new company is a public relations company. Although she often needs to travel, the salary is really high.
The average salary of industry personnel is 8,000 to 15,000.
Zhu Li's parents also regarded Xia Dongqing as their future son-in-law, and specially found a master for Xia Dongqing to guide him into the industry.
"I hope Xia Dongqing can live a stable new life."
...the dividing line between all evils...
"Where is this?"
When Su Mingzhe opened his eyes, he didn't realize that he was not lying at home, but in a place covered with yellow sand.
"You were almost killed by Taotie, the fifth son of the Dragon King, but I escaped with you."
The dark-skinned, scaly and armored Star-Eating Beast was covered in scars at the moment, and golden blood had solidified on its scales. It looked very pitiful.
His round eyes were helpless and tired at this moment, as if he was dying, and he said feebly:
"You said you were fine, why did you provoke the Dragon Clan?"
The Star Swallowing Beast felt that it had suffered a huge loss, so it almost cost its own life just to help its host.
"How dare I provoke him? He wants to eat me, so I can't just catch him. Besides, didn't you say that you are invincible in that small world?"
"In that small world, I am naturally invincible, but... I don't dare to fight back!"
When the Star Swallowing Beast heard that his strength was being doubted, he quickly explained:
"The Dragon Clan is notoriously difficult to deal with. If you fight the small ones, the old ones will come. If you fight the old ones, there will be a group. In the dimensional civilized world below level five, basically no race is willing to be the enemy of the Dragon Clan. If
I'm an adult now and I'm not afraid of them. The problem is that I'm still a baby and I'm no match for them."
"Then please make it clear, I thought I could just wander around..."
The more Su Mingzhe talked, the more depressed he became.
After Xia Dongqing resigned, Su Mingzhe habitually went to convenience store No. 444 to buy snacks, and happened to meet Fifth Young Master Taotie.
It was Taotie, the fifth young master, whose eyes glowed green after seeing Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe also didn't expect that Xia Dongqing escaped from the convenience store but was targeted by the Fifth Young Master.
The next day, Su Mingzhe received an invitation from the Fifth Young Master, inviting him to attend a banquet on the [Fifth Floor].
Su Mingzhe knew what kind of monster the fifth young master was, so naturally he would not go to the appointment.
In order to prevent the Fifth Young Master from pestering him endlessly, Su Mingzhe decided to strike first.
Su Mingzhe spent a lot of money to purchase a large amount of dragon urine (child urine for children born in the year of the dragon).
Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, after reporting the information about the murder on the fifth floor to JC, Su Mingzhe poured dragon urine on the fifth floor while preventing fire.
In "Soul Ferry", this is how Zhao Li and Wang Xiaoya drive away the Fifth Young Master.
These fifth young masters are so powerful that bullying a soul ferryman like Zhao Li is like an adult bullying a child.
But when faced with the dragon urine splashed by Su Mingzhe, he became a cowardless person and ran away almost overnight.
Su Mingzhe originally thought that the fifth young master would run away and the matter would be over.
Unexpectedly, the Fifth Young Master saw his true and false nature and would fight back.
Seeing that the fifth son, Taotie, was so angry that he opened his mouth to devour Su Mingzhe. The Star Swallowing Beast appeared in time and used its back as a killing move for Taotie, and escaped with Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe stopped arguing with the Star Swallowing Beast. After all, the matter was over:
"By the way, where is this?"
"Yellow Spring."
The Star Swallowing Beast said with a hint of arrogance: "I spent 80% of my essence and blood to take you against the flow of time and entered the underworld of Huangquan more than a thousand years ago. That Fifth Young Master Taotie is a fool. As long as you stay here for two years,
In three years' time, he has calculated that when you are in Huangquan, he will definitely think that you are dead, and he will not continue to pester you."
"Is this the underworld?"
Su Mingzhe was walking in the yellow sand. He looked around and saw that the sky was covered with yellow sand. There was not a single person in sight. When he looked up, he saw that the sky was full of stars and there was no sun or moon.
"Yes, this is Huangquan, but... this is the main universe of "Soul Ferry"."
Star Swallowing Beast said, stretched out its dark claws, and asked Su Mingzhe for a hundred starry sky stones.
"This time I overdrafted the power of my bloodline and took you back to time and space. It consumed too much blood and essence. It will take at least a hundred starry sky stones to make up for the loss."
"for you!"
Su Mingzhe guessed that the star-devouring lion had opened its mouth.
However, Su Mingzhe did not refuse.
After all, in order to save itself, the Star Swallowing Beast had resisted a blow from the Fifth Young Master's Taotie Dragon Claw just now, and only then had he been covered in bruises.
Another point is that this is the main world of "Soul Ferry", which is more dangerous, and you need the Star Swallowing Beast to protect you at all times.
The star swallowing beast opened its mouth and swallowed a hundred starry sky stones, nodded with satisfaction and said:
"I'm going back to rest first. I will appear when you are in danger."
The Star Swallowing Beast said, and went back to the pet space to recuperate. He was still a larvae, so he took Su Mingzhe through time and space. Although it would not overdraw his essence and blood, the loss was indeed very large.
Su Mingzhe looked at the yellow sand all over the mountains and plains. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and saw a simple house next to him. The house had a bed, electricity, and various furniture.
Su Mingzhe walked in, found a place to sit down cross-legged, and began to practice silently.
"The first season of "Soul Ferry" was so dangerous, and now it's the main world of "Soul Ferry", isn't it even more dangerous?"
"I will hide here and practice for a while to improve my strength. This is not a coward, but a matter of sincerity."
"First calculate your own supplies and see how long they can support your life."
After Su Mingzhe comforted himself, he began to take stock of the items in the space.
Here, I would like to thank myself for having the habit of storing supplies.
This is the habit I used to have when I was poor. Now that I have money, I must keep a good inventory.
In Su Mingzhe's space, there is not only food and water, but also modern power generation equipment.
After three days of sorting.
Su Mingzhe took stock of the inventory:
"The food in my own space is enough to sustain me for a hundred years. I might as well practice here for a hundred years. After the Star Swallowing Beast has recovered, it will take me out of this ghost world and return to the first-level world where there is no danger."
""The Picture of the Imperial Concubine's Night Makeup" is still there, so I won't be lonely at night."
Su Mingzhe kept his word and began to organize his small house for his future life. At the same time, he really started to practice in this underworld.
Time flies, time flies.
In "The Night Makeup of the Imperial Concubine", the red thread of lovesickness tied to Concubine Yang's hand has long since taken root and cannot be extricated.
Su Mingzhe burned the world in the painting as promised and released the sealed Concubine Yang.
"What is this place?"
Coming out of the world in the painting that she had long been tired of, Concubine Yang couldn't wait to rush out of the hut. She was stunned when she saw the yellow sand all over the sky and asked: "Isn't this the underworld?"
"Yes, this is Huangquan."
Su Mingzhe didn't expect Concubine Yang to know this place.
"I was killed back then, and my soul had already drifted here, but was later summoned back by the Japanese alchemist."
Concubine Yang explained why she knew this place, and then asked: "I heard that strangers are not allowed to enter this underworld. How did you get in, sir?"
"I was chased in."
Su Mingzhe explained to Concubine Yang Guifei what happened when he was chased by Fifth Young Master Taotie.
Concubine Yang thought for a long time before speaking:
"It seems that if we want to go out, we really have to practice here."
Concubine Yang is now particularly eager for the free world outside, but she is bound by a red thread of lovesickness and only thinks about men.
The two of them really started living in seclusion here.
Time rolls forward again.
Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and decades of glory disappear in the blink of an eye.
Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei practiced "The Secret of Yin and Yang Inner Elixir" together, working diligently day by day and night after night.
The two had lived in seclusion for decades, and the tens of thousands of books they had placed in the space were all torn through. Su Mingzhe naturally felt distracted and couldn't sit still:
"After this skill reached level 49, there was no movement for three to five years. Could it be that it has encountered a bottleneck?"
Concubine Yang could see the man's thoughts and comforted her:
"Sir, you are extremely talented. In just a few decades, you have mastered the "Yin Yang Inner Pill Secret" to the Great Perfection. As long as you break through the final bottleneck, you can ascend to the immortal world and go to the fairy world. Don't let all your efforts go to waste."
"I don't want to waste all my efforts, I just feel a little bored. I have been holding back on this last step for several years, and I don't know how to break through."
Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei worked behind closed doors, and it was quite difficult to reach this point in their cultivation.
"Young Master, I have learned a new dance and dance it for you."
Concubine Yang is indeed versatile. Not only can she accompany Su Mingzhe on playing chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is also good at singing and dancing.
Among the various books and images brought by Su Mingzhe, there are thousands of dances from all over the world.
Over the years, every time Yang Guifei learned something, she would show it to men.
It is precisely because of Concubine Yang's long-term companionship that Su Mingzhe can maintain a good attitude and practice here with peace of mind.
After some singing and dancing, the two hugged each other and fell asleep.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe was still confused by the bottleneck of cultivation.
Just when Su Mingzhe was about to pull Concubine Yang up to prepare for today's morning double cultivation class, something different suddenly came from outside.
"Amitabha!"
"Who's out there?"
Su Mingzhe waved his hand, and the clothes scattered on the ground were automatically put on for himself and the woman. When he opened the door, he saw a white-robed monk wearing a bamboo hat standing at the door:
"Amitabha, I am a poor monk with no name. I want to go to Mengpo Village. I wonder if the donor knows the direction?"
"Anonymous? A great eminent monk?"
Su Mingzhe walked over and unceremoniously lifted the white-robed monk's bamboo hat.
It's really him.
Su Mingzhe suddenly felt happy and asked:
"Master Wuming, is today a glorious day?"
Su Mingzhe remembered that only when the sun shines brightly can the passage between the underworld and the human world be opened, and only strangers can enter the underworld.
And Wuming came to Huangquan precisely on the day of Hueyun.
"Today is the perfect day."
The nameless white-robed monk did not care about Su Mingzhe's rude behavior, but asked again: "I wonder if the donor knows how to get to Meng Po Village?"
"I don't know, but I advise you not to go."
Su Mingzhe thought of Wuming's ending and said kindly:
"Master, I see that you are also a virtuous monk. You should practice in this world and reach the Paradise of Paradise as soon as possible. Why come to the underworld to seek death?"
"Amitabha, this poor monk has something he must do. He needs to find Pluto to retrieve something that was taken away by her."
The white-robed monk gave a brief explanation, and without waiting for Su Mingzhe to continue his persuasion, he clasped his hands together and left.
"Sir, who is this?"
At some point, Concubine Yang also came out. She and Su Mingzhe had lived in this underworld for decades and did not dare to take a step into the depths of the underworld.
Unexpectedly, I met a living person today and took the initiative to come to the door to die.
"A fool."
As a person of later generations, Su Mingzhe admired Wuming very much and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's a pity that with his passing, the world will lose a virtuous monk and have a cunning and shameless person."
"Sir, let's leave him alone. He said today is a special day. Since he can come in, we can go out."
"That's right, let's leave this hellish place right now."
Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei have lived in seclusion in Huangquan for decades. In order to prevent the ghosts of Huangquan from discovering their traces, they have been hiding nearby and not daring to wander around.
Concubine Yang also arranged an illusion around the house to prevent other ghosts from breaking in and destroying their hermit life.
Wuming's arrival today serves as a reminder to the two of them that they can leave this hellish place today.
