Chapter 656
'Brother Ding Jiao has such a big show...' The entire street beside Li Zhouwei was already shrouded in shadow. A group of cultivators fled in all directions, running out of the great formation one after another. In an instant, a piece was empty. Bai Rong muttered:
"This Dragon Child..."
There was a commotion all around, and the crowd fled. The two mortal children had also disappeared long ago. Before Bai Rong finished speaking, a silver-white thunder had already jumped out of the marketplace, leaped several times in the ocean, and flew toward the Clear Water Scale Monster. A male voice full of energy came:
"Thunder Island Miao Ye, pays respects to the Clear Water Clear Pond Chengbi Dragon Child!"
Li Zhouwei had seen this person. He had come to Moon-Watching Lake to ask for the Du Ruo Spear back then. His strength was good. He had secretly inquired about his ancestor's affairs. It turned out that he was guarding the South Sea now.
Miao Ye supported his knees with both hands, his knees knelt down out of thin air, pulled his hands, one foot knelt, one foot on the ground, and bowed three times in a row, lowering his brows and drooping his eyes, terrified and not daring to speak.
Li Zhouwei's pupil technique was operating, and his eyesight was excellent. The one waving the whip on top of the Clear Water Scale Monster was the monster general with bulging gills and black armor. His expression was very foul. He flicked the long whip and shouted:
"It has nothing to do with you! Wait on the side!"
Miao Ye felt relieved, stood on the side, and ordered people to bring blood food up. The black-armored monster general drank them back and said impatiently:
"The Dragon Lord's birthday is approaching. The East Sea food is not allowed to see blood. Take that turbid thing away. If you let the Lord see it, I don't know what trouble you will have!"
The Dragon Lord's birthday was still half a month away. How could Miao Ye not know? Otherwise, why would he bring the blood food up? It was just that the other party wanted to scold him for no reason. He nodded and bowed to thank him for the reminder, and waited respectfully on the side.
Miao Ye apologized repeatedly. Bai Rong and the two saw it in their eyes and went out of the marketplace all the way. The fox laughed, and there was no one around. The cultivators in this place had all scattered.
Li Zhouwei went out of the water cover and looked out. All around was turbid. The broad yellow-green seabed was originally a piece of coral and seaweed, with fluorescent yellow spiritual things cushioned underneath. Now it was all turbid sand and stone, which must have been rolled away by the water storm.
"I don't know how many decades Miao family collects these things, but now they are all gone..."
The dragon clan is overbearing, so there is no need to not give the Miao family face like this, which made Li Zhouwei a little puzzled. Bai Rong looked at him and laughed, saying in a low voice:
"Thunder Island once obtained a treasure, which the dragon clan valued very much. Both the Black Dragon Lineage and the White Dragon Lineage sent people to exchange for it. The Miao family thought left and right, and exchanged it with the messenger of the Black Dragon Lineage..."
Bai Rong had a look of gloating, only saying: "Anyway, they had to offend one of them. The White Dragon Lineage was disgusted. Brother Ding Jiao came all the way, so naturally he didn't have a good attitude. Miao Ye also knew it in his heart, fearing that he would be caught by the horse's feet. Now he is burnt out."
Li Zhouwei finally understood and asked: "I wonder what kind of treasure it is? The dragon clan is rich in the East Sea, and it can actually attract the dragon clan to fight for it?"
"【Ming Fang Xuan Yuan】!"
As soon as Bai Rong finished speaking, Li Zhouwei immediately understood:
"So it is for the dragon heirs."
【Ming Fang Xuan Yuan】 is just an ordinary Zifu spiritual object, which is nothing to the dragon clan, but it has the effect of assisting in giving birth, which is precious! Li Zhouwei and the two had already arrived in front of the Clear Water Scale Monster. Miao Ye was still lowering his brows and drooping his eyes and dared not move. He might have recognized Li Zhouwei, but the respectful look on his face did not change at all, and his breath was stable.
'He is a deep-city person.'
Li Zhouwei noticed him. The black-armored monster general greeted him with a smiling face, put away the whip, and opened his mouth: "Two Lords, please..."
Bai Rong stepped into the hall quickly together. Everything behind the two turned into infinite water waves in an instant, cyan and blue intertwined, rolling up water storms. It was obvious that the Clear Water Scale Monster was moving. Li Zhouwei steadied his footsteps and heard a loud laugh: "Two Fellow Daoists!"
A white-horned youth was standing in the hall, his robe painted with waves and dragons, and his light blue eyes looked over with a smile. Stepping with golden boots, Brother Ding Jiao said loudly: "Clear Water Clear Pond Chengbi White Dragon, Brother Ding Jiao, pays respects to Fellow Daoists."
This sound was clearly aimed at Bai Rong. Bai Rong flicked his cyan-white sleeves, his voice was light and fluctuating, graceful and pleasant, and his tone was very different from before, replying:
"Moon-Watching Lake Tingping Suxin Fox, Bai Rong, pays respects to the Crown Prince."
"Good..."
Brother Ding Jiao laughed loudly, looking to be in a very good mood. He invited the two to take their seats, and then made a surprised look: "Bai Rong is originally a Suxin Fox, and his bloodline is so close to the Great Lishan Mountain Master! It was my neglect. If I had known Fellow Daoist's identity, I should have come out of the hall to welcome you. It was my fault."
"The Crown Prince is joking."
Bai Rong's eyes were slightly narrow, his appearance was handsome, and he sat on the side holding a wine cup. His tone was soft and graceful, and his smile was appropriate, which was completely different from his usual playful appearance. He said gracefully: "I obtained the grace of the Mountain Master's blood pool, and adjusted my nature with my life, only then did I undergo a rebirth. I cannot accept this gift."
Brother Ding Jiao was stunned, then nodded and clapped his hands, saying softly:
"That is also a deep blessing."
The two talked enthusiastically for a few sentences. Brother Ding Jiao immediately turned back to look at Li Zhouwei and said solemnly: "Minghuang, last time it was my fault, I neglected you. Now that this matter has been accomplished, I am very grateful and have kept it in my heart!"
What Li Zhouwei wanted was the dragon clan's favor, not the dragon clan's spiritual weapon. That spiritual ring of the Mingyang path was solid, but where could his family use it? So he shook his head and said:
"The Crown Prince is too polite. It was all thanks to Senior Bai Rong's help. I cannot take the credit."
The three talked for a while, but Bai Rong showed a side that was completely different from before, dancing with long sleeves. He pulled out some stories to tell in a literary way, and praised Dongfang You several times. Brother Ding Jiao listened with a smile, and both the host and the guest were happy.
The speed of the Clear Water Scale Monster was extremely fast. Time alternated. Li Zhouwei listened to the idle talk of the two, and finally felt a slight shock. A long-bearded monster general stepped forward to report: "Reporting to all Lords, we have arrived at the Grave Abyss."
Brother Ding Jiao then stood up, stepped down, and while leading the two, said softly:
"Minghuang might not know, let me say a few words. This place is south of the South Sea, called the Grave Abyss."
Several people flew up from the scale monster together. In front of them was a vast sandy land. Large and small stone islands were distributed in a radial shape. In the middle was a huge abyss channel. Looking into the distance, they couldn't even see the opposite bank of this great abyss.
The island continents on both sides of the great abyss were broken, as large as a city and as small as a house, densely packed and endless. The seawater flowed into the great abyss along the spider-web-like fine ditches, and below was infinite darkness.
Brother Ding Jiao looked at it gloomily and said softly: "Before the changes in heaven and earth, this place was a great continent, broader than Jiangnan. It was just sparsely populated. At that time, Jiangnan had tens of millions of people, but this place had only ten million."
"When heaven and earth changed... two Immortal Lords fought here, shattering a great continent. Not to mention the disappearance of spiritual opportunity, there have been no living beings to this day. My dragon clan calls it 【Grave Abyss】... opposite to the 【World Navel】 of the East Sea."
Bai Rong nodded, seemingly seeing this place for the first time, and looked at it excitedly, saying softly: "I heard that this place has no spiritual opportunity, so there is no Grand Void. Even Zifu must come down to fly when arriving at this place..."
"Not bad."
Brother Ding Jiao said softly: "This place leads directly to the netherworld, and it is also where the Yin Division is located. It is said that people from the Yin Division enter and exit from this place."
While he was speaking softly, he was quietly descending. The three of them were quickly annihilated in the infinite darkness. Li Zhouwei looked at the surging seawater falling straight down on both sides, frowned, and said in a low voice:
"This Grave Abyss is terrifyingly large. The seawater of the South Sea has never run out? This is hundreds of times larger than the sky hole in the North Sea. Even if the entire South Sea rains, it won't be enough..."
"Could it be that this place is like a sea corner, where seawater falls into the depths and immediately turns into water veins and returns to the sea?"
Brother Ding Jiao shook his head and explained: "This seawater does not fall into the Grave Abyss everywhere. This place is just a vent. If you fly south for a while, the ground will be higher than the sea surface, and no seawater will fall."
Li Zhouwei then nodded and reminded:
"There is no spiritual opportunity in this place... if the magic power is exhausted, something will happen..."
"Don't worry."
Brother Ding Jiao took out a white pearl from his sleeve, thought about it carefully, put it back, and changed it to a black circular disk spiritual weapon, which suddenly became larger and cushioned under the few people. He apologized: "My carriage, the cloud-riding, is really inconvenient in the abyss."
Bai Rong nodded and asked suspiciously: "It's just the saying of leading to the netherworld, but I haven't heard of it... After all, we are not familiar with the affairs in the sea. Can the Crown Prince tell us?"
He apologized, and Brother Ding Jiao waved his hand, saying in a low voice:
"This matter has to be traced back to the Qi Kingdom period. Northern Qi replaced Wei, so the Wei Li Crown Prince Li Xunquan raised an army and once controlled the Long region, which was called Long Wei by people at the time. My family had a Lord living in the Wei Kingdom and got to know a good friend, and they talked very happily."
"Later, there was a great drought in the south. The Lord went to spread rain himself. When he returned, his friend was harmed by others. He went all the way to this place, went deep into the abyss, flew all the way to the netherworld, saw the Yin Division judge, and brought that person back."
Li Zhouwei was stunned at first, feeling his heart heat up, and said in a deep voice: "A dead person, is it really as the legend says, detained to the Yin Division? And can be saved?!!"
Brother Ding Jiao hesitated and said in a low voice:
"When a mortal dies, their soul must be scattered. I heard that people in the world are all on the Yin Division list. If it is the Zifu Golden Core path, the Yin Division even knows everyone's cultivation and magic. As for capturing souls, there should be no such thing now."
"But..."
The strong hope that rose in Li Zhouwei's heart was suddenly extinguished. He lowered his head and asked a question. Brother Ding Jiao replied:
"I have also inquired about this matter. I heard that it is because that person was born before the changes in heaven and earth and practiced the Zifu Golden Core path... The Yin Division acted according to the law to capture him... For those born after the changes in heaven and earth, unless they fail to impact the Golden Core, the Yin Division generally doesn't care."
Bai Rong felt uncomfortable, changed the subject, and secretly remembered something in his heart, saying softly: "What if an immortal cultivator is not on the list?"
"Not on the list?"
Brother Ding Jiao glanced at him, shook his head and laughed:
"That is practicing the Witch Talisman path, or the method of breathing and nourishing nature!"
The white fox lowered his head in thought. Li Zhouwei was only disappointed for a moment, then immediately adjusted, and said in a low voice: "I have heard of Li Xunquan's name. There were constant uprisings in the north, and quite a few of them became a climate. There were also two Wei Li restorations, but I don't know what happened later?"
The Li family has also collected quite a lot of news over the years, and they pay more attention to these things, but they couldn't find out in Jiangnan, so it was rare to hear some in the East Sea.
Bai Rong looked at Brother Ding Jiao and said softly: "Killed by the Qi Emperor, his head hung on the city of Dianyang for nine years without being taken down."
Brother Ding Jiao was silent. The spiritual weapon under his feet floated up and down. Li Zhouwei felt a slight suffocation, his expression sank, and he looked into the boundless darkness.
'What exactly does Brother Ding Jiao want to do...'
All the way here, Li Zhouwei gradually realized Brother Ding Jiao's identity. This White Dragon Lineage Crown Prince is probably one of the most noble ones: 'The East Sea is vast, and there are quite a few Zifu monster beasts under the dragon clan. If he really has a request, can't the dragon clan send a Zifu Great Monster to help him?'
'Not to mention anything else, Dongfang Heyun is strange enough...'
Bai Rong is a Foundation Establishment fox monster, and the method he practices is not a good listening method. Perhaps it is due to his bloodline, or he has a few wonderful formulas to listen and investigate, but is it really better than a Zifu with supernatural powers? "From the attitude of the two monsters, it is enough to see... this matter is promoted by the fox and dragon clans... what kind of matter is it, to bring me along..."
"Bai Rong said Brother Ding Jiao wants to make friends with me... so he brought me here, is there any benefit..."
He thought about it for a while, sat quietly for a few days, and Brother Ding Jiao and Bai Rong had already stopped talking. Brother Ding Jiao didn't say a word, and Bai Rong's expression was even more focused, his ears moving slightly.
He stood up bit by bit, listened for a while, and white hair grew on his body bit by bit. He shook his body on the spot and transformed into a white fox, snow-white all over, without a trace of impurity.
This fox had straight ears, and there was even an ear on the center of his brow, presenting a triangle shape, with the tip facing up. Viewed from the side, it looked like a white horn, and the hair was very delicate.
Bai Rong manifested his original form, squatted on the disk, and went deep all the way. Brother Ding Jiao remained motionless, watching the two quietly. This spiritual weapon flew slower and slower, and finally stopped.
Brother Ding Jiao said softly: "There is a sound here, Bai Rong, listen to it. The magic power in my spiritual weapon is not much. If you can't hear it here, go deeper and see."
Li Zhouwei couldn't hear anything at all, only feeling that the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. Bai Rong paused, shook his head and said: "Please fly for a while longer."
Brother Ding Jiao silently urged the magic tool, flying for a full half an hour. There was no light in the surroundings, as if trapped in endless dullness. Only then did he stop.
Bai Rong moved his ears and frowned:
"It's a man's voice..."
The fox listened for another quarter of an hour and said in a low voice:
"He said..."
Bai Rong seemed somewhat uncertain, his expression was very nervous, and he lay down to listen carefully again. He was somewhat stunned and said in a low voice: "Law... Suo Chi... Tang, Qi... what..."
Li Zhouwei felt a tightness in his heart. Brother Ding Jiao frowned, his voice low, and asked: "Is there anything else he said?"
Bai Rong listened for a while again, his magic power operating, and purple brilliance mixed with smoke circled around his body. The white hair on his ears transformed into deep purple one by one. After a quarter of an hour, he said in a low voice:
"Nothing else, just this one sentence."
His expression was somewhat shocked. He paused before saying: "His voice was sometimes as high as a tiger's roar, heart-rending, mixed with the sound of coughing blood, and sometimes as sharp as a mouse's squeak, piercing through the clouds and cracking stones, extremely terrifying."
"He said..."
"The law is too scorching, the binding is too urgent, begging for it to be loosened."
Brother Ding Jiao's eyebrows rose, presenting a look of shock mixed with coldness and anger. He was silent for a moment, took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, placed it in his palm, and said in a low voice: "Suxin Fox, you continue to listen."
