Chapter 536: Xu Qing, a New Disciple of the Yin-Yang Flower Sect

~20 min read 3,920 words

On the border between the Saint Lan Domain and the Sacrifice Moon Domain, there are scattered small commoner kingdoms, and there are also some markets prepared for those who cross the river.

After all, outsiders entering the Sacrifice Moon Domain, as long as they don't stay for too long, are not affected by its curse, so there is some trade between them.

As for the border, it is actually a majestic long river.

The river is named Si Yin, circling the entire Sacrifice Moon Domain and shrouding it within.

And the river water is red all year round, like fresh blood, and even the smell is the same. Occasionally, a wind blows across the river surface, blowing this bloody smell to the shore and permeating all directions.

For those who don't understand all this, they will instinctively become vigilant when they smell this odor, but as they get closer to this area, most passersby get used to it.

The caravan where Xu Qing and his group are is also like this.

The traveling merchants and those escorts within clearly walk this road often, so one by one, their expressions are as usual.

Xu Qing smelled it and was lost in thought.

Besides the bloody smell, this odor faintly carried a trace of faint Chi Mu aura.

Seeing the Captain about to speak, Ling'er remained expressionless, took out a peach, and took a bite.

This is the skeletal pit.

"Good poem!" The Captain's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he praised.

The Captain looked around, his expression carrying some reminiscence, and he spoke with emotion.

As for the right hand, it was floating with a red eye, constantly looking in all directions.

In the carriage, the Captain stretched, lifted the door curtain, looked outside, and smiled.

The Captain walked more than ten zhang, paused his footsteps, turned his head as if remembering something, and shouted loudly.

"Those are the river spirits of the Si Flower Sect, and they are also the rules here. You have to send out offerings." The Captain was prepared for this. At this moment, with a wave of his hand, a storage bag was thrown out and fell into the river water.

Seeing the changes in the Captain's group, Tang Ye was not curious. With the lifting of the seal, the Captain's means gradually became varied.

Ling'er nodded. Here, there were basically no people who knew them.

"Those are what the Red Moon can absorb, and he can do the same, but that kind of plundering is also easier to be detected by it. If the stimulation is too great and leads to premature awakening..."

That was their agreement on the road, and the location they were in now belonged to the eastern border of the Sacrifice Moon Domain. From here, setting off and going east, the distance to the Heaven Fire Sea that Ling'er wanted to go to was not very far.

And the great sword here, at this moment, was full of expectation. The Captain did not favor one over the other, patted it as well, and its appearance was covered, becoming a boy.

During the period, they also encountered some dangers, but under the exploration of this Blood Child magic treasure imitation eyeball, most of them were avoided by them.

Ling'er swept over them with his gaze, silently blessed them in his heart, and then looked at the Captain again.

That was an imitation of the Blood Child's forbidden magic treasure.

The rolling long river surged southward, and the bloody smell was incomparably thick here. Faintly, one could see skeletons rising and falling in the river water. These were the remains of those who wanted to escape the Sacrifice Moon Domain and died.

The land here is deep white.

The Captain also frowned. I knew the jade slip bloodline was extraordinary, but I didn't expect that here, it would actually cause the river spirits to ask for offerings a second time.

"Eldest Senior Brother, shall I try?"

Xiang Ningyan was also silent.

This was Zhang Ba's genius design.

The Captain finished speaking, raised his left hand, and grabbed into the void. A fan appeared, and he opened it with a swish, fanned it a few times, and had an air of leisure and contentment.

"The living beings of the Sacrifice Moon Domain are not food at the moment of birth." The Captain spoke fiercely.

And so, very quickly, under their actions, these hairs shattered a bit and then returned to the river water.

"This is the identity Xu Qing, which can be used as a road guide. The various countries and clans in the Sacrifice Moon Domain are chaotic, so you need a road guide to go anywhere. Yin-Yang Wu Jianwu is there, because he is responsible for the sacrificial dance of the Red Moon God Palace, so he is considered a large sect, which is a tiger skin!"

In the blink of an eye, amidst the gathering of countless blood-colored long hairs, they actually outlined a huge figure that was fully hundreds of zhang tall.

The figure only had an outline and no flesh and blood.

The jade slip was a bit reluctant, occasionally turning his head to look at Ling'er, his expression very helpless.

"This damn Chen Qiniu, too much!" The jade slip cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face. He was afraid of being bitten. Walking in the mortal world is simpler to hide than performing magic.

The jade slip's face changed.

But it requires Ling'er and the Captain to make a move.

It looked like a skeleton, exuding terrifying pressure.

Such a spirit wheel, Tang Ye was also surprised when he got it. Descending on the long river at this moment, whether it was the jade slip or the great sword, they all felt waves in their hearts after seeing it.

Ling'er murmured, stepping into the land of the two-clan alliance.

"I don't know if the river spirits are delicious..." The Captain looked around and felt that the river spirits here might not be just that little, so he sighed.

"Let's go!" The Captain said, waving to Ling'er. Amidst Ling'er's bowing farewell, he took the jade slip and Tang Ye Cai and walked toward the distance.

"Offering!"

Xiang Ningyan looked at all this, sighed heavily, and didn't speak, but got closer to Ling'er, as if the coolness on Ling'er made him feel safer.

"Offering!"

And the robes spread on the river surface, setting off ripples, which were the sails.

And the remaining few, when they were about to dissipate, suddenly looked at Tang Ye at the same time.

In an instant, those fragrances followed the river spirits and poured into the Purple Moon Nascent Soul's mouth.

Just like that, time passed.

Tang Ye was silent, looking up at the residual face of the god in the firmament.

Ling'er pretended not to see and watched the eight people off.

Tang Ye Cai looked arrogant and spoke faintly.

Tang Ye heard this and walked out a few steps, looking at the blood-colored figure in front, and spoke fiercely.

He clearly knew this early on, so he was not surprised, but his original bitter expression now became behind the maid, giving people a feeling of being bullied often.

"Make way."

Ling'er stood on a bare mountain top, looking into the distance, identifying the direction, and took out the Xu Qing map the Captain gave him to check.

I thought, I felt that I was fine in the capital, very comfortable, but was forcibly brought to such a ghost place.

Its left hand carried a lantern emitting a faint green light, the flame inside burning, and occasionally there were shrill screams.

That color is the norm of the Sacrifice Moon Domain.

As for the great sword, he gasped, and the parrot on his head also trembled, forgetting to keep the posture of raising its head.

"My father came out of heaven and earth, which side of the spirit immortal is not convinced!"

"

The scope of the Si Huajian Sect was not large, and the width was just like that; at the speed of Linger's Xiang Linger Wheel, it took one day to cross more than half of it.

Even more bizarre were the old woman's hands.

Those mirrors were mostly taller than a person, the mirror surfaces clear, existing with some cracks, but they still reflected Linger's figure.

From dozens to hundreds, until reaching thousands, with no end in sight at a glance.

The Great Sword had long been waiting to show off; there had been no opportunity on the road before, so under that long river, he flicked his large sleeves, and suddenly dozens of ferocious-looking beasts appeared around him.

So Linger's eyes flashed, the Purple Moon Nascent Soul rose above his head, and while emitting waves of pressure, he also took a gentle breath toward those river spirits.

"That area is called the Great Altar; a half-month journey across from here is a place of the Two-Clan Alliance, and past this is the Heavenly Fire Sea."

However, there will still be some unexpected situations.

Linger glanced at the Captain and took over Xu Qing; he could feel that the Captain's preparation this time was extremely thorough, and he figured the other party was incredibly hesitant about wanting to swallow the Red Moon Heart.

Xiang Ningyan's eyes widened, somewhat dazed, while the Captain was in high spirits, secretly thinking that with little A-Qing going to the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain this time, the success rate of the big event would be infinitely large.

At the same time, the river spirits whose fragrance was sucked away revealed a pious expression.

Sincerity.

Once his words were out, purple light appeared in his eyes, and the Purple Moon Nascent Soul within his body opened its eyes at that instant, emitting pressure and fluctuations, turning into a display of status and descending a touch of divine authority.

"Fool!" The Jade Slip saw this scene and hummed in his heart.

On the hunched back, pavilions were built to serve as the ship's cabin.

Linger smiled and nodded, his body swayed, and he headed straight for the distance; his appearance also changed, not so prominent, becoming much more normal.

These ferocious beasts were each quite extraordinary; although they looked different, their bloodlines seemed to have a common source, their cooperation with each other was perfect, and they even ignored evil spirits, seemingly possessing quite high bloodline status themselves.

They were different from the white statues of the Saint Lan Clan back then; they were more like living creatures, because in the aura of those river spirits, Tang Ye felt their awe.

Tang Ye put away Tang Ye and whistled forward in the dim sky.

Linger watched them off until the eight people including the Captain disappeared into the night, Xiang Ningyan's expression carrying anticipation as he spoke generously.

For example, at this moment, countless blood-colored long hairs rushed out from the river water, winding toward the Xiang Linger Wheel, spreading rapidly, and coming toward Tang Ye and the others.

The Captain winked at Linger, then raised his left hand and patted his forehead; suddenly his body changed, actually turning into a dashing middle-aged cultivator, his appearance also becoming much more handsome.

At this moment on the Sacrifice Moon Changhe, there were dozens of such boats; after paying the sacrifice, they were allowed to pass, and then they saw that scene that made them unable to believe and their hearts terrified.

"With me here, Brother Linger will not encounter any demonesses!"

Others also flew down quickly; soon, following the shining of the lantern in the old woman's hand, the surrounding white robes like ship sails danced instantly, and their figures sped away on the river surface.

The Captain's eyes widened, he muttered a few words, and left, pulling the two people beside him.

At this moment, they opened their mouths simultaneously, just about to say their lines.

They all knelt down, respectful and submissive.

Just like that, after the brief noise in the surroundings, Linger's intense voice echoed out.

At this moment, while smiling but not smiling, the Captain's left hand took the opportunity to pat the stomach of the Jade Slip, who was crying with a sad face; Tang Ye trembled all over, his appearance also changed, turning into a maidservant.

"From now on, I am a disciple traveling from the Yin-Yang Wu Jianwu of the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain, named Tian Qingzi."

"After many years, I have returned to this domain."

But the danger was not resolved; the next moment, the entire river surface suddenly churned violently, the bloody aura became even more intense, and countless blood-colored long hairs rushed out from the river surface one by one, heading straight for mid-air.

"Little A-Qing, I didn't lie to you before, do you want to be like that one day?"

"The Wu family has four hundred sons, who in the four states of the firmament dares to be wild!"

The Captain patted Linger on the shoulder.

The sky had some birds hiding in the night, emitting shrill cries; as for the ground, one could often still see decaying skeletons.

"Escort."

"That river is not dangerous to outsiders; as long as you give enough sacrifices, you can enter and exit, but to the various clans within the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain, it is the door to a cage."

A blurred voice accompanied by a high roar came from the mouth of this huge blood-colored figure; while echoing through heaven and earth, the surrounding blood river also began to churn, the seventh, the eighth, the ninth...

Those guesses made everyone's hearts palpitate; having traveled to the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain for many years, they were very clear that in this cursed domain, all living beings were lambs, and only the Red Moon Temple was high above, grazing for the gods.

"Then let's separate here first, and later we will meet at the Weiyang Tianniu Mountain; no matter who arrives first, just wait here for a period of time."

All of this did not exceed Linger's previous expectations; the special environment of that Sacrifice Moon Great Domain made it certain to be filled with death and good intentions.

There were others who died in the slaughter.

The sound was like a thunderclap, its arms stretched out, grabbing the hair that was spreading over, and tearing it apart with one pull.

The river water fluctuated on its own to accelerate for it, the river surface twisted as if crawling; that scene made the Great Sword's body tremble, and while he was in a daze, the Captain came to his side, put his arm around his neck,

and spoke in a low voice.

"Could it be from the Red Moon Temple? And it's a high-level member within it!"

Linger's expression was strange, Xiang Ningyan's eyes widened, the Jade Slip gasped, and the Captain's eyes glowed.

"This is the smell emitted from the Si Yin Changhe. That river was not naturally formed; it was formed by Chi Mu gathering all living beings in the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain and using their blood, and it was even branded with a curse."

From the sharp tool marks on the bones, one could see that the flesh and blood had been scraped off alive; clearly, that was more convenient for consumption.

"That's fine, the sacrifices I prepared are also useful within the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain."

"The Red Moon Temple rarely appears on weekdays; this is the first time I have seen them."

The skeleton pits here were as many as a thousand; they were arranged in the shape of a crescent moon, and in the center position, there existed an ancient altar the size of a city.

"Calculating the time, they should reach the shore by dusk today; after crossing the river for a few days, they can enter the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain." The Captain's eyes revealed anticipation.

He knew about the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain.

Compared to the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain, in fact, isn't the entire Eastern Wanggu Continent the same?

The Jade Slip felt bitter upon hearing this, while the Great Sword was full of excitement; he felt that he was very respected.

Linger's heartbeat accelerated slightly; he instinctively felt that the fragrance was a good thing, and just as he was about to continue, a sense of crisis rose in his heart, which made him immediately restrain his own behavior.

And the place where Linger and his party landed was a bare, chaotic mountain ridge.

The Great Sword definitely didn't want to, and it was destined that he couldn't escape the Captain's clutches.

"Ling You."

And that vast scene was incredibly shocking, naturally attracting attention.

The Captain pondered and nodded.

Following the swallowing, a sense of extreme bitterness emerged in Tang Ye's heart, and his Purple Moon Nascent Soul also shook, clearly having grown a bit.

"Brother Linger, does this count as a date for the two of us?"

Even faintly, there were wisps of fragrance that Tang Ye noticed after he dispersed the power of the Purple Moon Nascent Soul.

Tang Ye nodded without saying much, his body swayed and he stepped directly onto the old woman's back, looking into the distance from within the pavilion.

Especially the smile on the corner of his mouth and the self-satisfaction in this expression made him look a bit more evil.

People heading to the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain were not just Linger and his party; in fact, because of the special nature of the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain, cultivators from distant domains often entered to trade items inside.

In an instant, the fluctuations of the Si Huajian Sect went quiet, the wind in the four directions stopped, and everything seemed to solidify the moment Linger's Purple Moon power appeared.

Xiang Ningyan heard this and hurriedly crawled out from Tang Ye's collar, speaking loudly.

Linger felt regretful in his heart and did not continue to try; he prepared to see the situation after entering the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain before deciding.

The parrot raised its head like a stick, looked around, and emitted a human voice.

"I watch the sunset and look at the lonely smoke, the big river waves have been rolling for ten thousand years!"

And compared to his reluctance, Tang Ye was incredibly willing to join this time.

"Little Junior Brother, remember, my identity now is called Weiyangzi, also a disciple of the Yin-Yang Wu Jianwu, your Senior Brother! In the next few months, this name will definitely be famous in the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain; I estimate I'll be able to hear about it on the road."

Under the corrosion of the river water, they could no longer see their appearance before death, but from the size of the skeletons, one could see that there were still many children inside.

Linger was a bit annoyed by listening; the other party had over a hundred poems on this journey, and at this moment, he waved his hand and the Xiang Linger Wheel appeared, landing on the river water.

All the boats stopped instinctively, and the cultivators within also had different thoughts, raising countless guesses.

Just like that, escorted by thousands of river spirits, Tang Ye's Xiang Linger Wheel sped through the Si Huajian Sect, getting closer and closer to the shore.

Linger did not pay attention to those; he was sensing those river spirits.

"There is a curse there."

This scene of heaven and river in one color did not give people a feeling of ugliness, but rather of bizarreness and eeriness.

"Little A-Qing, this Yin-Yang Tang Ye Cai,

I will go there when I have time; the identity is real, that sect pays attention to the harmony of Yin and Yang, mutually harvesting and supplementing, I think Little A-Qing you really should go and learn, with your aptitude, you should be able to learn very quickly, so that if you encounter a demoness, you will have a self-defense technique and won't be taken advantage of!"

"Could it be that Zhang Ba has some thoughts about Juying?"

The Jade Slip behind the seven people, whose face was originally crying, became even more bitter. Just like that, time passed day by day.

Even if that river water looked bizarre, it would not affect the pride in his heart; standing on the shore at this moment, he took a deep breath and spoke loudly.

"See the Divine Envoy."

Soon, on the ground in front of him, dim lights appeared, and mirrors of irregular shapes rose from the ground, all shining toward Tang Ye.

The Great Sword coughed, raised his chin, and was just about to speak again, but seeing Linger frown, he hurriedly stopped.

Its appearance looked like a hunched old woman, seven hundred zhang tall, wearing a wide white robe.

So they bowed their heads one after another, and only after those thousands of river spirits went far away did they set sail again.

Tang Ye's Xiang Linger Wheel was led by Zhang Ba, and the elders of the Eighth Peak worked together to build it for him; the shape was completely different from his Dharma Ship, and it had even gone beyond the category of a boat.

It was precisely because he had heard of that small domain that he was very afraid of this place and did not want to get close.

That scene, although the Jade Slip was prepared, still made his heart beat faster.

Here, it is the power source.

Thousands of blood-colored long-haired humanoid skeleton-like river spirits spoke simultaneously, walked over and surrounded Tang Ye's Xiang Linger Wheel, majestic and powerful, escorting them forward.

In the area near the shore, Linger discovered dozens of huge deep pits with a range of ten thousand zhang, each filled with countless bones.

The moment Tang Ye put away the Xiang Linger Wheel and everyone stepped onto that land, those thousands of river spirits in the Si Huajian Sect bowed toward the shore, and only then did they enter the river water and disappear.

"To be escorted by thousands of river spirits... what kind of identity is that!"

"Follow the Divine Decree!"

"Road permit!"

Linger suddenly spoke, his voice crisp and very pleasant to hear.

Looking down at this moment, overlooking Tang Ye and his party.

Fortunately, my preparation that time was very thorough; although I didn't like it in my heart at this moment, I still took out another storage bag, and just as I was about to throw it out, Tang Ye suddenly spoke.

As for what was inside, Linger didn't know, but as the storage bag fell, those figures slowly became clear until most of them disappeared.

The Captain smiled from the side.

So soon, he was pulled aside by the Captain and whispered to; the Great Sword's eyes carried struggle and excitement, and in the end, excitement surpassed everything.

It's just that this aura was powerful to the extreme; if Xu Qing didn't possess the Purple Moon, it would be very difficult to detect.

The sky was dim, there was no sun, only moonlight from an unknown source, falling throughout the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain, covering that white land with a mysterious veil.

"There is only this one answer, and only the Red Moon Temple can possess such an identity."

Soon dusk arrived, the sky was full of red clouds, the same color as the river water that entered the eyes of Linger and the others.
