The stillness after the candles are extinguished in the attic.
In the quiet darkness, an undercurrent occasionally rolled by, slightly ruffling the sea water that was as solid as stone.
In the distance of sight, there is a faint string of green light, like a river. The "river" flows at a speed invisible to the eagle's eye, and slowly floats out a corpse.
The faint green light gently illuminated the corpse's face, which was firm and cold, with no sign of edema.
After a while, the light slowly flowed, gradually became fainter, and disappeared, and the floating corpse slowly disappeared into the ink-like darkness.
Suddenly, a beam of bright light with a radius of a hundred feet suddenly appeared on the bottom of the sea, like a hole in the dark clouds, and the "sunlight" fell down, submerging the floating corpse; and like a flash in the pan, the bottom of the sea then returned to darkness, but the corpse had already
Not here.
…
Green mountains, green water.
Ancient building, fine wine.
Carved table, jade lamp.
Beauty, jade bed.
There is a person lying on the bed at the moment. He is dressed in blue and has black hair. He has a thin face and a cold face. His starry eyes are tightly closed and his breath is as fine as a silk thread.
Sitting around the finely carved round table were four people, three men and one woman, three handsome and one ugly.
The ugly one has a snake head, with yellow snake stripes covering his bare chest, no more, no less, exactly eight;
The woman was wearing a blue gauze, the silk strands could not cover her graceful body, and her five-color pupils were watery and seductive;
The man opposite the woman was wearing a purple suit, and there was an overwhelming evil aura running through his purple brows;
The man sitting on his left was also about one foot tall, with a strong and fair cheek. Only his dark blue eyes were filled with aura of calmness and dignity.
There is an empty seat on the table, and the glass is full of wine, as if it is waiting for someone.
Less than three glasses of wine.
After a while, a gasping sound like a feather falling to the ground suddenly came.
The four of them put down the wine they had just picked up and looked at the unconscious man on the jade bed.
A dim light fell into the eyes of the waking man, and then a complete image was drawn in his consciousness - four completely different faces came into view.
After looking at each other for a moment, the person on the bed sat up neatly, not looking like he had been in a coma for seven days and nights.
"How do you feel, Master?"
The beauty in blue was the first to open her mouth.
The black pupils of the person in front of her reflected her five-color beautiful eyes, creating a complete appearance of a person, but it was Bai Yunsheng who had crossed the river of time from the underworld and returned to the Yang Realm.
Although he had traveled across two realms, Bai Yunsheng did not show signs of illness. He walked out of bed and said with a smile, "It's you. Where are you?"
"The ancestral sea is thirty-six thousand miles away, and it's at the bottom of the sea." The man with the evil aura running through his brows replied.
"Young master, you're all right." The beauty said alluringly, and with a smile, it was none other than the Gu Emperor, Dan Ji, who had a relationship with Bai Yunsheng!
Two of the other three, Bai Yunsheng, were also seen - the one with the snake head and ghost pattern was the Jiuying monster from Silent Eagle Ridge, and the man who just spoke was the poisonous Scorpion who almost killed him back then.
Although he had met the last person who was as tall as a stone tower for the first time, his aura felt inexplicably familiar.
While talking and laughing, the five of them had already sat down in front of the wine glasses.
Bai Yunsheng raised his wine glass without showing any grudge or anger, and said directly to the fourth person: "Isn't this the first time you and I have met?"
The man smiled solemnly and said: "The second time."
Bai Yunsheng said: "Then I will drink this cup together."
As he spoke, he looked around at Gu Emperor, Scorpio and Jiu Ying, and finally turned his gaze back to the fourth person. The four monster kings showed no anger at all, they all raised their jade cups and drank from them in one gulp.
Scorpio poured wine for everyone to get up, and asked in an evil voice: "Master, do you know how many years have passed since then?"
Bai Yunsheng shook his head and said, "I haven't found out the details yet."
Scorpio put down the wine bottle and sneered: "No more, no less, exactly five hundred years."
A trace of surprise flashed across Bai Yunsheng's face. He looked at the clear glass of wine and said with a smile: "The wine in the glass, the wind in the forest, the flowers in the mirror, and the moon in the water. I can't believe that five hundred years have passed."
Dan Ji smiled, and in an instant the flowers closed in shame, and the room was filled with fragrance.
She said: "The world is in chaos now, and many things have changed."
Bai Yunsheng's face was light and he said calmly: "The time between heaven and earth is like a white horse passing by, and the color can change day by day, not to mention the number of five hundred years."
As he spoke, he raised his glass for the second time and said, "But before I ask you for advice, let us get to know each other again."
Bai Yunsheng's understatement made the four people present tighten their eyes. Although the strange color disappeared in a flash, it was still reflected in the glasses of wine hesitantly picked up.
After the second glass of wine, Bai Yunsheng poured the wine from the pot himself and said while pouring:
"The four of you have been hiding in Zuhai for so many years and have never shown their true colors. But what are you running from?"
At this moment, Jiuying, who had been silent, was about to open his mouth, but was interrupted by a fourth person: "What do you mean, Master?"
Bai Yunsheng smiled lukewarmly and said: "At the end of the Yang world, there is another world, which is the underworld. There are demons in the underworld, and there were five true saints in the clan. It is said that they were born from the first birth of yin and yang, when the heaven and earth were just divided, from gold and wood.
Strange beasts that originate from the five elements of water, fire, and earth. One is Gu, one is fox, one is fish, one is scorpion, and one is snake. Each of the five saints possesses the power of the five elements and is extremely cultivated. They can live as long as heaven and earth, and as long as the sun and moon.
Qi Guang, if the source is not destroyed, the body will not perish. However, after the recent battle in the underworld, the demon clan fled in all directions, and the Five Saints were nowhere to be found."
Bai Yunsheng paused for a moment, put down the flask, and then said: "Gu Emperor belongs to gold and possesses the power of intercepting metal; Scorpio belongs to fire and has the power of underworld fire; Jiuying belongs to earth and has the power of thick earth; and you must be
It is the sky-swallowing beast that was born from the origin of water and possesses the power of the vast sea. The last nine-tailed fox possessing the power of green wood was suppressed in the eighteen levels of hell in the underworld."
The atmosphere in the attic seemed to drop to freezing point at one moment, and then to boiling point at the same time.
The four Gu Emperors stared at Bai Yunsheng.
The four pairs of eyes that have seen endless years are filled with waves.
Doubts, worries, hesitations, and uneasiness are swirling around in circles, stacked together. I want to speak, but I don’t know where to start or what to say.
Bai Yunsheng was staring at the wine.
In a moment, the third cup was downed.
He continued to pour himself a drink and said: "I already know who the four of you are in Ten Thousand Monsters City. You four must have guessed who I am, but don't worry too much. The cause and effect here has nothing to do with you. I won't expose you, nor will I."
It won’t disturb your plans.”
Silence, at this moment, is like a knife made of ice. The faster it cuts, the deeper it pierces, and the faster it melts.
Danji's stunning appearance was still there, but she no longer exuded charm. She solemnly said: "Young Master is right, we were indeed among the Five Saints of the Demon Clan back then, and we did temporarily hide in the ancestral sea due to unavoidable reasons.
This time Shen Wu took the liberty to invite the young master, and also invited Haihan."
After speaking, he glanced at the burly sky-swallowing beast.
Bai Yunsheng said calmly: "I didn't expect that when I came back from the underworld, I would actually get into the bottom of the Ancestral Sea. I guess there must be something extraordinary about this place."
Gu Emperor nodded and said: "We are currently inside Shen Wu's body. Outside is the 36,000-mile seabed of the Ancestral Sea, where the roots of the Heaven-reaching Divine Tree are located, and where the Yang Realm connects to the Underworld."
Bai Yunsheng asked in surprise: "The Gate of Hell?"
Jiuying, who had always been taciturn, opened his mouth and said: "The Gate of Ghosts floats on the river of time all year round, collecting the souls of the world into the underworld. However, it is said that there is a key in the Yang Realm that can allow people to pass through the Gate of Ghosts in their previous lives."
Bai Yunsheng suddenly said: "That's right."
He seemed to understand why he could still survive despite losing all his memory and cultivation when he entered the underworld five hundred years ago - it was because of his physical body that was reshaped by the sword of longevity. And the one Jiuying mentioned
The key - Yin Yang Fish is still in his hand.
After a moment of silence, Bai Yunsheng suddenly thought of something and softly chanted: "The Tongtian Sacred Tree? Isn't that in the Biluo tribe's lair?"
This sentence was clearly spoken, but he deliberately pretended not to say it. The four saints also pretended not to hear it and continued to listen to him: "Five hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye. Are the four saints interested in talking to me?"
