The sun rises in the east, and the fog gradually thins. The fog rolls back and forth under the breeze, like icebergs and snow peaks, Penglai fairyland, mirages... It makes people feel like they are floating in heaven.
The sun revealed an orange halo, turning Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi into two statues of gods. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and at this moment, space seemed to be stagnant. I hope that we will live forever and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart.
On this day, the two of them talked to each other sincerely. They were passionate and youthful all the way. At dusk, they finally arrived at Yuheng Palace.
Cui Guang was imprisoned in Longxugu, located on the northwest side of Woniugu in Yuheng Palace. Master Bao, who was dressed in a green robe and had a thin appearance, had already been waiting for him.
After Bai Liming and Yuan Zhaoxi parked the boat, they hurriedly got off the boat and saluted Master Bao. Master Bao also sighed when he saw these two golden girls:
"Alas, it would be better if Wang Yueming was here, but unfortunately things are unpredictable, alas."
When the two heard this, they also lamented. Wang Yueming was Master Bao's proud disciple, but who would have thought that he would die tragically in Xijing City. And Bai Liming was a close friend of his beloved disciple, and he was the only one to survive the incident.
That's why Master Bao would miss people and be filled with emotions.
Looking at the sad Master Bao, Bai Liming didn't know how to comfort or answer. While thinking about it, he heard Master Bao ask in a low voice:
"Bai Liming, Yue Ming, what are his last words?"
Baili Ming pondered for a moment, and the voice and appearance of that cheerful and laughing young man came to mind. There were tears in his eyes, and there was a little sadness in his voice:
"Senior Brother Wang was unyielding and cold-faced. He never gave in to the devil. On the way to Xijing, he tried his best to help me pass on the news of Yuan Jinsheng's rebellion. At the last moment, he died generously. He said that people
Death is inevitable, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather, but after eighteen years you will be a good man again!"
"Okay, okay, well done to Yue Ming. I didn't misjudge him. His integrity is not in vain for my careful teachings."
Master Bao also had tears in his eyes. He praised Wang Yueming repeatedly and suppressed his sadness.
Then, he turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go to the prison to interrogate Cui Guang." While he quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
The three of them walked forward in silence for a moment, then Master Bao asked casually:
"I wonder why you two wanted to interrogate Cui Guang again? But what other findings were there?"
Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi looked at each other and replied:
"To be honest, Master Bao, Chao Xi and I met Gong Mi in the Northern Wilderness. We tried our best, wandered on the edge of life and death many times, and finally killed him. But we got a piece of news from her mouth."
"What's the news?" Master Bao interrupted impatiently after hearing this.
"The Holy Envoy of Bon Religion went to Taichang, the capital." As soon as Baili Ming finished speaking, Master Bao exclaimed:
"What? That holy envoy went to the capital? What does he want to do?"
Bailiming shook his head and said sincerely:
"I don't know. This is the reason why we interrogated Cui Guang. We want to find clues from him that can lead to the Holy Envoy of the Bon Religion."
Master Bao nodded, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"Well, but you should also be prepared to ask questions without knowing the result. After all, Cui Guang has been interrogated many times and has confessed everything that needs to be explained. He even asked a real person from the Perfection Realm to explore his soul memory.
No important information was found."
Yuan Chaoxi replied helplessly:
"Master Bao, we have no other clues. We can only treat the dead horse as a living doctor. Maybe we can find some clues that have been ignored."
Unknowingly, the three of them came to a straight and smooth cliff. There was a stone gate at the bottom of the cliff, one foot high and four feet wide.
Master Bao came to the stone door and embedded a jade talisman into a groove in the center of the stone door. Then he placed the palm of his right hand on the stone door and silently recited the incantation.
After more than ten breaths, green light circulated on the surface of the stone door, then began to tremble slightly, and then slowly opened inward.
A deep and long corridor sloping downward appeared in front of the three of them. Master Bao took the lead and stepped into the corridor, followed closely by Bai Liming and Yuan Zhaoxi. After the three of them entered, the stone door slowly closed automatically.
But the corridor did not fall into darkness because of this. The stone walls on both sides were engraved with luminous runes, and there was one at regular intervals. The narrow corridor was illuminated by a faint light.
After walking for about a stick of incense, the three of them suddenly saw a cave with a radius of more than a hundred feet and a height of about forty feet.
There are seven stone doors on the stone wall in front of the cave. The door leaves are engraved with the characters "one" to "seven" respectively.
There is a high platform in the center of the grotto, with complex patterns carved on the ground. There are seven mages sitting cross-legged in meditation, seemingly guarding this place.
Master Bao stepped forward, exchanged a few words in a low voice with one of the majestic-looking mage, and showed the token for inspection. Then the majestic mage nodded, and then made a seal with one hand, and the stone platform formation was filled with mist.
a green light and a buzzing sound.
I saw the majestic mage pointing at a door with his sword skills. The magic circle revealed a finger-thick light and walked towards the door close to the ground. The light hit the stone door, and the door
The complicated pattern on the stone door marked with the word "three" lit up, and then silently opened inward.
Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi made secrets and saluted the majestic Master on the high platform, and then followed Master Bao into Stone Gate No. 3.
Yuan Chaoxi's big and smart eyes flashed, and she asked curiously:
"Master Bao, what do the characters one to seven carved on these seven stone doors mean?"
Master Bao showed a kind smile and explained:
"Behind these seven stone doors are seven prisons respectively. These seven characters represent the level of cultivation of the criminals, from one to seven. The larger the number, the higher the level."
Both Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi showed expressions of sudden realization. Yuan Chaoxi speculated:
"Does one represent the state of perfect enlightenment? Two represents the state of humility, and so on. Seven represents the highest state of compassion?"
Hearing this, Master Bao laughed loudly and said:
"A small prison in Yuheng Palace cannot imprison a saint in the realm of compassion. Even a saint in the realm of merit and wisdom cannot be imprisoned here."
Yuan Chaoxi stuck out her tongue playfully, and then asked:
"Oh, what realm do these seven numbers represent?"
"Behind the Yizi Stone Gate are imprisoned mortals with no cultivation. They will be detained if they commit serious crimes such as colluding with demons, establishing cults, deceiving people with evil words, etc. that are not governed by secular laws and endanger the Middle Earth and the Taoist sect.
Here, behind the two-character stone gate are imprisoned prisoners or demons whose strength is equivalent to the Seven Apertures. By analogy, behind the seven-character stone gate are imprisoned prisoners or demons whose strength is equivalent to the perfection realm."
Master Bao explained patiently, and Yuan Chaoxi asked doubtfully:
"Where are the prisoners or demons who are at or above the realm of merit and deeds being imprisoned?"
"Those who are at the level of merit and above are extremely powerful and difficult to kill. It is difficult to suppress them in ordinary prisons. They can only be sealed in the Jade Heng Cauldron. In fact, the situation in each palace is the same."
Master Bao explained patiently, then stopped in front of a cell and said:
"We're here, this is the cell where Cui Guang is being held."
