Chapter 168: Unexpected Changes

This low shout was like a thunderclap exploding in the air, shaking the clouds and mist, and the echo lasted for a long time.

Chen Hang looked down.

What he saw was just a scene of desolation and ruin.

The trees were broken and fallen, in a mess, and a few scattered dark red blood stains that had been dry for a long time could be vaguely seen scattered on the ground.

The palaces and temples arranged by the Yangshan Daoist before his death were now all collapsed, and some short, grayish-white wild grass was emerging...

Chen Hang sighed slightly in his heart and waited quietly for a long time.

Finally.

After dozens of breaths.

At the mountain waterfall.

A faint rustling sound slowly came out...

Then a fox head poked out cautiously, and quickly shrank back.

After a while.

It poked out again quickly.

Then shrank back like lightning!

This repeated several times.

That stupid fox didn't even raise its head to look at the clouds, and naturally didn't notice Chen Hang, who was shaking his head lightly.

"Tu Shan Ningning."

Chen Hang called out, pointed his finger, and sent out a true qi, binding the fox that had just poked its head out.

Then he fell from the clouds and walked to the mountain waterfall.

Regardless of the little fox's chirping, he picked it up by the back of its neck and took it to hit the stone wall behind the pool.

Puchi—

After passing through an invisible membrane.

After seeing the objects in his line of sight, it suddenly turned into that familiar scene of bright light and orderly houses.

"This is?"

After seeing the scene,

Chen Hang was slightly surprised, threw down Tu Shan Ningning, and walked straight toward the main building.

The statue on the offering table, which was molded according to Tu Shan Ge's appearance, was now broken, with two arms missing, and the divine light and image of the whole body were dim.

And in the hall, dozens of white foxes were lying scattered, their eyes closed, motionless.

At a glance, it would make people suspect that they were corpses lying on top of each other.

"..."

He stared at the statue transformed by Tu Shan Ge for a long time, and then walked past the group of foxes toward the side room.

In that side room, the human-shaped Tu Shan Zhuang was lying straight by the bed, also motionless.

Chen Hang stepped forward, shook Tu Shan Ge's body, and sent a true qi into his body, wandering through the meridians and bones.

After a few cups of tea.

He withdrew that qi and was thoughtful.

"This situation... although Tu Shan Zhuang's blood qi is silent, it is not yet stiff, because there is still a weak vitality nourishing it, keeping the body from rotting, and nurturing the form?"

Thinking that it was not his personal investigation.

Just a glance, I fear others would also think Tu Shan Ge had died and had no vitality.

"Is it a fake death technique? The foxes outside the hall should be the same..."

Chen Hang's gaze flickered, and he already had a plan in his heart.

He looked at Tu Shan Ningning, who was playing with her big tail on the side, and said:

"How can he be awakened?"

After Tu Shan Ningning yelled a few times, seeing that Chen Hang didn't understand, she helplessly stretched out her claws, wrote a few lines of crooked characters on the ground, and then raised her head and chirped a few times.

"Store qi in the Sect Master acupoint, release the true fire of the Mingmen, and perform the actions in order, then it will work?"

He asked.

Tu Shan Ningning nodded.

"Although this fake death technique has some small tricks, it obviously put effort into the meridians and acupoints, but it is truly too stupid! If it really encountered a fierce person, not only would the corpse be chopped into three sections, but even the primordial spirit would not be able to escape! At that time, isn't this fake death just sending one's life away in vain?"

At this time.

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo couldn't help but belittle it, its voice full of mockery.

Chen Hang's fingertips surged with a thin force, drilled into Tu Shan Zhuang's body, and performed according to the characters written by Tu Shan Ningning.

Not long after.

Tu Shan Zhuang screamed, his chest heaving violently, and before he could even open his eyes, he jumped up from the ground, his face full of panic.

"Master... is it you? Can you finally be back?!"

He subconsciously wanted to find a direction to run wildly.

But his peripheral vision accidentally caught.

In this room, there was an extra Daoist with a high and clear divine appearance.

His feet tripped in the panic, and he fell heavily.

Although Tu Shan Zhuang fell miserably, his expression suddenly turned from shock to joy, his brows raised high.

"No need for formalities."

Chen Hang shook his head and said.

He flicked his fingers and shot out dozens of strands of force, hitting the foxes lying scattered in the hall.

Instantly.

As one fox after another woke up, the ears were full of chirping sounds, noisy.

It made the Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo complain endlessly, and after listening for a long time without stopping, it simply closed its spiritual sense to seek peace.

And on the other side.

Tu Shan Zhuang sacrificed a small jade seal and hurriedly shone it toward the Tu Shan Ge statue on the offering table.

Instantly.

The originally stiff and rigid statue suddenly became lively in its brows, and the bright divine light like splashing water slowly radiated from its whole body, shining in the air.

Finally, with a "boom".

The statue rolled down from the offering table and turned into a yellow-robed youth with no arms and a pale face.

"Master..."

Seeing Chen Hang.

Tu Shan Ge's eyes first flashed with joy, then he bowed and sighed deeply, saying:

"I didn't expect to see Master again! It is the protection of the Heavenly Duke!"

"Please rise, what happened here?"

Chen Hang reached out to support him and asked.

He had made a Dharma contract with Tu Shan Ge, and for Tu Shan Ge's life and death, he naturally had a sense in his heart.

Seeing that the Dharma seal personally signed by Tu Shan Ge in the Dharma contract had not disappeared from beginning to end, he knew that he should be fine.

And after Tu Shan Ge gathered his spirit and told his encounter.

Chen Hang nodded, his face thoughtful.

It was no different from what Fan Shu of the Huanhua Sword Sect said, just not as detailed.

It was all about Ai Jian colluding with the demon thieves of the Demon Sect, releasing the Blood Demon, and creating a monstrous blood disaster.

However, although Tu Shan Ge's combat power was low, the divine Dao he cultivated had some strangeness.

After making a group of foxes fake death to cover their qi.

He went out of the divine domain to lure the enemy alone, relying on the divine Dao means of moving his body in the void, although he unfortunately broke two arms and his life seal was polluted.

But he still successfully circled with two blood shadows for many days, protecting the living beings of this clan.

……

"I see that the blood shadows divided by that Blood Demon have no spiritual wisdom, and only go to wherever the blood qi is prosperous.

Fortunately, we foxes are not known for our physical bodies, so we only attracted two blood shadows."

After Tu Shan Ge finished this sentence, he subconsciously wanted to rub his hands to show his emotion, but when his thoughts turned halfway, he realized that he had already lost both arms.

A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he lowered his head in shame.

"However, it is a pity for my divine Dao golden body... It was originally shattered by the thunder fire thunder pearl used by the Yangshan Daoist old dog, and it was only thanks to a piece of White Record Wandering God golden body fragment you gave me, Master, that it was barely healed..."

He licked his lips, and after suffering multiple heavy blows, he was calm about his divine Dao cultivation.

He no longer kept it tightly in his heart as before, just let it go:

"Could it be that I was born at the wrong time, so my life is full of bad luck and disasters?"

After Tu Shan Ge's divine Dao golden body was shattered again, his divine intent was severely damaged, and he could only turn into a mud sculpture and wood carving to recuperate.

And Tu Shan Zhuang and other foxes were unconscious because of the fake death technique.

Only Tu Shan Ningning, who didn't know why, perhaps because her cultivation of the technique was not very good, woke up early.

That's why Chen Hang saw that scene of desolation and loneliness when he entered this Yangshan Divine Domain, as if the whole clan had died.

"You don't have to be discouraged because of this. What will happen in the future is still unknown."

Chen Hang comforted him slightly.

And before he could say anything else, the Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo suddenly jumped out of the Qiankun bag, blue light shining, making the four walls clean and rippling.

"Your fake death method is crude, but it has some tricks. Where did you get it?"

An old voice came from the shuttle body.

"This is?"

Tu Shan Ge was taken aback.

He had stayed in the Chiming Sect for a period of time, and his knowledge was always there.

Dharma has spiritual essence—

The flying shuttle in front of him was clearly a magic tool, a genuine immortal magic tool, a precious object that countless Cave-Mystic cultivators in the world could not ask for!

"This is a senior of mine, he has no malice."

Seeing Tu Shan Ge looking over nervously, Chen Hang said.

"Senior, please listen..."

Hearing this.

Tu Shan Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and told the origin of the fake death technique one by one.

"So your former master was a disciple of the Chiming Sect... It is rare that she would spend energy for a spiritual pet and specially create this method, obviously putting your lives in her heart, which is rare..."

After hearing what Tu Shan Ge said.

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo seemed to be stung, silent for a long time, then sighed, vaguely helpless and emotional, saying:

"First the one from the Chiming Sect, then this kid, you fox are truly lucky, all the ones you invested in have conscience..."

Tu Shan Ge didn't understand, only smiled awkwardly.

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo said faintly: "Forget it, having heard your fake death method, the old man won't take advantage of you for nothing, I will give you a hint!

Your fox aptitude is inferior, and your character is also poor. Orthodox immortal Dao is not something you can climb! Incense divine Dao, your golden body has shattered several times, patching it up is not as good as not cultivating. As for martial Dao and demon Dao, don't mention it. I happen to know the details of a superior side-door immortal Dao cultivation, do you want to learn?"

"Please give guidance without reservation, senior. Little fox will definitely keep it in mind and will never forget it for all eternity!"

Tu Shan Ge was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times.

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo laughed, showing some complacency, and told the side-door immortal Dao he knew in general.

Tu Shan Ge was focused and serious, his eyes not blinking.

And Chen Hang only listened to a general idea on the side, then withdrew his attention.

……

Side-door immortal Dao, also known as strange side-door, is divided into upper, middle, and lower three grades.

This method is easy and quick to succeed, and has low requirements for character, especially in some barrier places, far less difficult than orthodox immortal Dao.

It is popular in the two western prefectures, and is even a school of thought...

But although side-door immortal Dao is easy to learn, it is not perfect, and it still has a serious hidden danger.

Even the most superior side-door method.

At most.

It only allows the practitioner to reach the Pure Yang realm, and then there is no further progress, cutting off the path forward, and never being able to join the Dao.

And that Pure Yang realm is also a pseudo-Pure Yang, far inferior to the true Pure Yang of orthodox immortal Dao.

Moreover, those who cultivate side-door immortal Dao have impure primordial truth, impure qi in the three orifices under the tongue, and cannot make the ten thousand gods flow together, and the great medicine cannot be reborn.

Even a person who has achieved great success in side-door immortal Dao has a lifespan comparable to that of a Primordial Spirit in orthodox immortal Dao.

Not to mention if it comes to combat power.

In most situations, at the same realm, it is far inferior to orthodox immortal Dao.

The high and low between the two paths, naturally no need to say more...

Chen Hang was uninterested in this, only listened for a while, and calculated other external affairs in his heart.

This return from the Earth Abyss actually obtained the news that Ai Jian rebelled and fled, and also killed the disciples of the Yuchen Sect, which was truly beyond his expectation.

And the extent of the killing caused by the Blood Demon.

Was indeed shocking.

"It seems the Xuanzhen Sect is indeed a Daoist vein of the Yuchen Sect, and Ai Jian is indeed from the Yuchen Sect. But why did he do such a thing, rebelling and creating such a blood disaster, in the future, I fear he will cut himself off from the world of the southern region."

He frowned and thought secretly.

And when thinking of Xu Zhi in the sect, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"And if everyone in the sect has been destroyed, I fear Senior Brother..."

At this time.

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo also finished talking to Tu Shan Ge about what side-door immortal Dao was, making Tu Shan Ge happy, his eyes shining.

"I have also heard of side-door immortal Dao, but I haven't studied it deeply. I didn't expect that there would be such wonders in it."

He was happy in his heart.

As for the hidden dangers of side-door immortal Dao, they were selectively ignored by him and not paid much attention to.

"By the way, Master, and the Chen clan of Lanliang City..."

After being secretly happy for a while.

Tu Shan Ge seemed to remember something, suddenly shivered, looked at Chen Hang, and said tentatively:

"When the Blood Demon was making trouble, I—"

"You can only move your body in Yangshan, how can you go to Lanliang City to save them."

Chen Hang, who had already expected this situation, shook his head slowly.

In that clan in Lanliang City, except for his uncle Chen Zhan, there was no one that the predecessor cared about.

What's more.

He was not the predecessor.

Facing this situation, besides sighing, it was truly difficult to feel any sorrow in his heart.

"Thank you Master, thank you Master!"

Seeing that Chen Hang didn't want to punish him, Tu Shan Ge breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly wiped the sweat that was vaguely oozing from his forehead, and raised his head.

At this time.

Suddenly, a loud sound that tore through the clouds and sky rang out, making people's eardrums feel swollen, and the acupuncture points all over the body tremble!

Tu Shan Ge and the others were all shocked, suspecting that the Blood Demon had returned or that another disaster had descended.

"Chirp! Chirp chirp!"

Tu Shan Ningning was anxious when she saw this, and hurriedly yelled a few times.

"What? This sound also rang out several times when we sealed ourselves, it's not the Blood Demon?"

Tu Shan Ge was startled, and hurriedly said:

"Is it true, didn't you hear it wrong, Ningning?"

"Chirp!"

Tu Shan Ningning was furious at being questioned and yelled twice more.

"It's not, it's not..."

Tu Shan Ge let out a long breath and was about to smile.

At this moment, everyone in the Yangshan Divine Domain felt a cold and indifferent gaze cast from the present world, directly penetrating the barrier of the Divine Domain, as if it were nothing.

Especially Chen Hang.

He only felt that gaze fixed on his body, and a chill could not help but rise in his heart!

"Are you from the Xuanzhen Sect? Good! Finally found one, very good!"

A voice sounded on its own, with a hint of joy.
