Chapter 1467: Heaven Beyond Heaven, Body Beyond Body

If there is any god in the mountains and seas, no one can ignore it.

Then there must be only the name "Zhu Jiuyin".

Because every time it opens and closes its eyes, every time it breathes and breathes, it affects the entire mountain and sea realm.

No one knows Zhu Jiuyin!

Chaos describes Zhu Jiuyin's crime, saying that it "thinks it is the supreme one. It despises the destiny of heaven and the gods below."

Earlier, he said that the mountain and sea realm would be destroyed by those idiots, and also mentioned that the divine order would collapse...

It seemed like a big shadow was being pulled out.

The Mountain and Sea Realm is not a Yanfa Pavilion that was born purely because of the genius of Chu. The world will not stop because people come to the trial or don't come to the trial.

It has its own laws.

The mountain gods and sea gods in the mountain and sea realm are not some symbolic mark, some symbol of nothingness. It is a real existence with its own story and its own life.

Like Sancha's revenge for his son, like Chaos' hatred for Zhu Jiuyin.

There are reasons behind those surprising and unknown changes.

"What's the conflict between you and that god?" Jiang Wang asked cautiously.

"Contradiction?" Chaos seemed to be laughing or crying: "Yeah, what's the contradiction?"

"It's just that everyone in the world is a subject, but I am not a subject."

Its voice became generous: "It's just that the whole world is suffering, and I dare not say anything. I am not angry, so I set up this southern abyss!"

It breathed violently a few more times, as if it was struggling against something, and then said: "There is a line of inscriptions on the Poseidon wall behind you... Have you ever seen it?"

Only then did Jiang Wang and the others turn around, and saw that on the dark Poseidon wall, there was indeed a row of Dao characters emerging——

"The mountains and seas are here and withering to the south. No one from all over the world will surrender except the south!"

There is something extraordinarily unruly about this sentence, and it has the potential to rise to the top of the sky.

One can almost imagine the majesty and arrogance at that moment.

Looking at this grotesque sea god in front of us, he is both blind and blind, moody and emotionally confused...it can't help but make people sigh.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, and it applies to everyone in the world.

"I see." Jiang Wang sighed: "Your Excellency is so proud."

"Uh-huh..." Chaos laughed weirdly before gasping: "It's been a long time since I've been praised. This feeling... I really miss it! Young man, you have to know that in the battle of life, you You must win. If you lose, even the things you despise will never kiss your boots again.”

"I've learned a lesson." Jiang Wang said, "But I still want to emphasize that my admiration for you comes from the bottom of my heart and is not meant to flatter you."

"Uh-huh!" Chaos said: "You have repeatedly reminded me that you have something to ask for from me. An old guy who has been trapped in the withering South Abyss for nine hundred years is happy to show his worth...but you have to do things for me."

It repeated: "Do something for me."

"Emotionally I'm happy to help, but..." Jiang Wang said awkwardly: "Zhu Jiuyin is here, and in the entire mountain and sea realm, you are the only one who dares to disobey me. The three of us are even more mediocre in strength. Any mountain god can come to our door. , can’t deal with it...what can I do for you?”

Yue Tiannu and Zuo Guangshu said nothing, allowing Jiang Wang to fully represent their will.

No matter what different thoughts he had in his heart, at this time, he gave Jiang Wang enough trust.

Chaos slowed down his voice and said: "I am stationed here and cannot move. But when Zhu Jiuyin invaded the south, I bit off its tail. It was also injured, very seriously."

"It's sunny outside, day and night, Zhu Jiuyin doesn't look like he's injured..." Jiang Wang said with a bitter look on his face: "Besides, even if it is seriously injured, it is something that we can't bear to breathe."

"Day and night are its sacred duties, how could it ignore it? Not to mention just being injured, you have to persevere even if you are about to die!" When Chaos mentioned Zhu Jiuyin, he easily became evil.

After a long pause, he said, "I don't want you to deal with it directly."

It opened its mouth and spit out a triangular pale white spire. The spire floated and flew slowly in front of Jiang Wang.

"You only need to place this Tower of Withering on the top of Zhongshan Mountain."

Jiang Wang looked at Zuo Guangshu.

Zuo Guangshu explained: "Zhu Jiuyin sits on two sacred mountains, one is Zhangwei Mountain and the other is Zhongshan. I think it is similar to Tanggu and Yuyuan, one is for sunrise and the other is for sunset. Because Zhu Jiuyin is also the same The god of change between day and night..."

Chaos has already spat out the tower, so there is no room for rejection.

If you just put the Wither Tower in one location, it's not completely impossible...

The withering tower in front of me has a weird shape, with a hideous bone spur at the tip. But there is no peculiar smell and the whole body is clean.

But when Jiang Wang thought that this thing was spit out from Chaos's belly, he felt a slippery feeling that lingered.

With a smile on his face, he randomly found a coat in the storage box and carefully wrapped the small tower in a respectful manner. Tried to put it in the storage box, but couldn't. I had no choice but to wrap it up in another layer and put it in my arms.

Then he said sadly: "The Lord and I hit it off like old friends, and I am very willing to do something for you. However, going to Zhongshan here is full of dangers. After we say goodbye today, I don't know if we will see each other again. I am even more afraid that I am not strong enough and will do something bad. It's a big deal for you.

Why don't you help us get the Nine Phoenix Chapter first? When we strengthen ourselves, we can go to Zhongshan. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife will make you chop wood. With your wisdom, you must know this truth. "

He calmly replaced "providing clues to the Nine Phoenix Chapter" with "helping get the Nine Phoenix Chapter".

"Well, sharpen the knife, yes, I know." Chaos' word order was a bit confusing at this time, and it seemed that his thoughts were beginning to conflict again.

It said in a state of struggling to hold on: "Leave me and walk in the direction facing the Poseidon Wall. Keep walking and you will see Jiaxuan. Regarding the Chapter of Nine Phoenix... you will get more from it. . There are many evil thoughts in this place, which are the pain of being exiled by Zhu Jiuyin. But with the Wither Tower on you, there will be no danger on the road."

If Jiaxuan, one of the Nine Phoenixes, can be seen, then the clues to the Chapter of the Nine Phoenixes will of course be more reliable.

Jiang Wang was overjoyed: "Thank you, God!"

Chaos gasped: "Go...go."

"Besides... I'm really sorry to say it." Jiang Wang said he was embarrassed, but he said nicely: "Can I dig out a piece of your Poseidon Wall? I need this kind of material very much. I will go there later." Zhong Shan was also very helpful.”

Chaos was stunned for a moment, and probably couldn't react: "I, you, this..."

Jiang Wang immediately said: "If it's really inconvenient for you, I'll just dig a piece!"

"Then... okay, we agreed to dig only one piece." Huan Chaos said.

It didn't seem to notice at all, and Jiang Wang didn't give it the option to refuse.

The conflict of ideas was probably very intense at this time.

Chaos only agreed. Jiang Wang had already appeared next to the Poseidon Wall, and the Samadhi True Fire burned directly on it.

The process of "reaching one's samadhi" is slow, but progress is made after all.

And the circled area is... a bit large.

"etc."

Chaos said suddenly.

The Samadhi True Fire on the Poseidon Wall was immediately extinguished.

A piece of quicksand wood the size of a fist fell off and fell into Jiang Wang's hand.

"Take it and go." Chaos said.

Even though it was already so rude, Jiang Wang said goodbye enthusiastically: "Then we won't bother you for now. May the Lord recover his body soon, defeat Zhu Jiuyin, and regain his glory!"

After throwing out some costless polite words, he asked Zuo Guangshu and Yue Tiannu to leave.

Before leaving, he saw that Chaos's belly was bulging high, and there was a shadow of something running around in the belly, which seemed to be about to explode...

What tortured Chaos into this state?

Jiang Wang didn't dare to look more, nor did he look back.

The South Abyss is a deep sea area.

Not long after the three of them left Chaos, they began to feel the presence of sea water.

It's like passing through an invisible barrier, from a waterless environment to being in water.

The profound environment here is upside down and chaotic, making the human body ups and downs. The water here is peaceful. It seems that the power of the Chongxuan, which is sometimes heavy and sometimes light, only works on outsiders like Jiang Wang.

Large clumps of algae floated like some kind of insects gathered together, giving it a gloomy feeling.

The three of them did not speak, and just followed what Chaos said, walking in the direction facing the Sea God Wall in the Withered South Abyss.

They left the deep water area, stepped on the water like stairs, and walked toward the sea.

A kind of coldness that was being watched has never disappeared since it appeared. And there are more and more spying eyes... Jiang Wang can feel the weight of the eyes and the malice in them.

Chaos said that those were the pains of being exiled by Zhu Jiuyin.

In a clean and tidy city, there are also gutters. Under the sun, there are still shadows. The dark side of the world always exists.

There is no other way but to respond vigilantly.

Leaving the deep water area and walking all the way to the surface of the sea, the depressing feeling did not disappear even a little bit.

The sky is dark and the sea is dull.

The gloomy mood seems like an eternity. Keep accumulating, keep accumulating...

Makes you want to go crazy, want to give up, want... to die.

Dying here might be a relief.

If your whole life is miserable, what is the benefit of being born?

Fortunately, Jiang Wang's will is consistent, Yue Tiannu has a Zen mind, and Zuo Guangshu has the means to deal with this situation.

Those chaotic, evil and depraved atmospheres cannot invade this team.

Even in the long-lasting silence, there is inevitably a sense of withering.

After walking a long way, Zuo Guangshu finally opened his mouth: "I have established a connection with this body of water. But the range is very small. The water here is not pure, and there are many kinds of forces pulling at it... It's not just the divine handle that is being mastered. s reason."

The team seemed to come alive.

As an elite team, of course they have been fighting in their own way.

Zuo Guangshu successfully established a connection with the water area. In essence, he was fighting for a private domain in the Withered South Abyss.

Let people around you feel freer and more comfortable.

"There is a lot of resentment in this place," Yue Tiannu said.

"Zuo Nanyuan fought against the entire mountain and sea realm on his own, and there must be heavy casualties." Zuo Guangshu said: "After all, Chaos has become like that, and there are other beings who were killed or exiled by Zhu Jiuyin... and they are full of resentment. It’s inevitable.”

If he were somewhere else, it wouldn't be so difficult for him to communicate in the water.

Jiang Wang only advised: "Don't try to resolve it, don't throw sparks into the oil pan."

"Of course I know this." Yue Tiannu looked around and sighed: "And with my current cultivation level, I can't resolve it. This place... has accumulated too much and has been entangled for too long."

Jiang Wang thought for a while and asked, "Master Yue is very knowledgeable. Is there anything similar to this in the world?"

Yue Tiannu was silent for a moment and said: "Disaster water."

Jiang Wang asked again: "How did the predecessors and sages respond?"

"This matter is too long to talk about, and it cannot be explained clearly in a short while." Yue Tiannu said: "I can only say that the current peaceful situation of Huoshui is controlled by the Sanxing Palace and the Blood River Sect."

"Blood River Sect?" Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows slightly.

The first time he heard this name was because of the Heart-Eating Demon Bear. The former ninth human demon who died under Zhu Weiwo's gun was an abandoned disciple of the Blood River Sect.

The second time I heard about it, it was that True Lord Xuehe, as one of the helpers gathered by True Lord Shendu, attacked Wan Tong and returned after cutting off the dragon's horn. During that time of turmoil in the Mysterious Realm, True Lord Blood River wanted to take Chong Xuan Zun as his disciple.

He smiled: "Speaking of which, I always thought this was a left-wing sect, but later I finally understood it and realized that it was also a major sect in the world. But what I didn't expect was that it also shoulders such a heavy responsibility..."

Yue Tiannu said calmly: "There is no need to deny that many of the Blood River Sect's Taoist techniques are indeed a bit violent and can easily go astray. However, if you use the techniques correctly, you will be righteous, and if you use them wrongly, you will be evil."

"I've been taught a lesson." Jiang Wang lowered his head slightly.

"The most important thing is." Yue Tiannu said: "When a sect is defined as a heretic, it means that it has lost its right to speak. In essence, it has lost its strength. Such a sect cannot last long. It is impossible to survive and even grow.”

When she said this, she said something meaningful: "So, how can there be any heresy in the world? The so-called side sects are mostly because they can't get on the stage."

Jiang Wang did not expect that Zen Master Yue, who was profound in Buddhism, would say such a truth.

When people talk about Buddhism, they all talk about compassion. But it is a huge fallacy to think that they are not sober enough.

Zuo Guangshu shook his head: "So right and wrong, good and evil, right and wrong. Don't we distinguish between them?"

This is actually the question Jiang Wang wants to ask.

But then I thought about it, even if it is a cult like White Bone Way, most of the believers believe that they are saving the world and are seeking to spread "fairness".

"Of course we have to separate. If there is no distinction between black and white, how can there be day and night? If good and evil are not restricted, how can there be clarity?" Yue Tiannu said: "But the principles of the world cannot be consistent. In one person's body, there is still a mixture of good and evil. , let alone a force or a region? If you think about it carefully, which major sect in the world is a side sect, and which big country is an evil country? "

Zuo Guangshu was unable to respond for a moment and only said: "Buddhists often talk about karma and retribution. I thought Zen masters can see black and white very clearly."

"How can I say that I can see clearly the black and white in the world? I often... don't know what's right or wrong." Yue Tiannu sighed, and then said: "Look, we are in the Withering South Abyss now. Is it black or white? At this moment, In the realm of mountains and seas, is it black or white? Is this world black or white? There are tens of thousands of layers in the body, the sky is outside the sky, and the body is outside the body... How can we tell the difference? "

"One body stands with thousands of weights, the sky is outside the sky, and the body is outside the body." This Buddhist verse is exactly the famous saying left by Zen Master Zhaowu of Mount Xumi.

It is said that it is actually difficult for a person to distinguish between right and wrong. In different "heavens" and different "bodies", there may be completely different answers.

There are three thousand worlds in the palm of your hand. Putting your hands together is a simple action, but it may destroy hundreds of millions of living beings.

Jiang Wang said calmly: "The Zen master has made a very clear distinction."

Yue Tiannu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly clasped his hands and smiled: "Donor Jiang is right."

Wherever you are, just ask where you are, that's all.

Zen Master Zhaowu left this verse, and it was nothing more than his original mind.

After all, there is no Hengyi answer to such a question.

The three of them have reached today's level of cultivation and have already thought about their own path. They will not be easily persuaded or changed by anyone.

Therefore, it is just a dragonfly touching the water and passing it by.

Zuo Guangshu asked again: "This Jade Bird, Jiaxuan, Kongyuan, and Lianhong have never been famous in the world. Are they really phoenixes? This is the first time I have heard of these nine types of phoenixes. I think... Chaos doesn't seem to be Very sober.”

"Do you know the clues to the Nine Phoenix Chapter?" Jiang Wang asked.

"Are you Chaos' opponent?" Jiang Wang asked again.

Zuo Guangshu couldn't answer.

Jiang Wang then said: "Then it means whatever it says. If you have any questions, please wait until you see Jia Xuan."

There seems to be some unknown danger lurking in this dark sea.

It was weirder than any environment they had experienced so far in the mountain and sea realm.

Dark, dead, and cold.

It seems that the root of everything is destruction, and there is no place that makes people yearn for it.

It is in sharp contrast to the blue sea, blue sky, exotic flowers and rocks outside the abyss.

Perhaps only in this kind of place, only in this extremely difficult environment, can we "not surrender" to Zhu Jiuyin.

It does not correspond to the rules of the mountain and sea realm.

Therefore, there is no alternation of day and night, only eternal night.

The long night of ignorance, the quiet sea is silent.

Walking on the dark sea, every step you take is extremely cautious. You can clearly feel that you are being watched by some terrifying existence, but you can't find anything.

Jiang Wang had never touched the Withering Tower hidden in his arms, but he could feel that it was this object with an unclear appearance that ensured a smooth road ahead.

It means that Chaos still has at least some authority in the Withered South Abyss.

"The Tower of Withering is like the order of the Poseidon, and all evils are subdued without invasion." Zuo Guangshu said with a smile: "Can we be considered to be full of divine light now?"

Jiang Wang said calmly: "But even Chaos himself, who gave the Wither Tower, seems to be unable to stay awake for a long time. So the usefulness of this Wither Tower, and how long it can last, is also very doubtful..."

"The inscription on the Poseidon wall reminds me of something." Zuo Guangshu said at this time.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Wang asked casually.

"Brother Jiang is familiar with history books, so he should know it." Zuo Guangshu said: "It was the same when the Jing Dynasty was at its peak... The whole world is subdued, except Nan."

He emphasized: "Only Chu, no minister."

Jiang Wang glanced at him: "You mean... withered Nanyuan is to Zhu Jiuyin, just like Chu was to Jing in the past?"

"It's quite similar... isn't it?"

"I think most Chu people would have this association." Jiang Wang said, "I just don't know whether that word was left by Huang Weizhen or by Chaos himself."

"Huang Weizhen?" Zuo Guangshu asked in confusion: "Didn't Chaos let us see it? How could it be Huang Weizhen? Did you identify it from the handwriting?"

Jiang Wang thought to himself that the Mountain God Wall and the Sea God Wall were the existence that best embodied Huang Weizhen's will. The Bi Fang Seal and Disaster Seal passed through the Mountain God Wall were proof.

If Chaos wanted to leave a message on it, it might not be that easy.

But he just said: "I don't have the ability to distinguish. It's just that since the mountain and sea realm is closely related to Huang Weizhen, it is reasonable for him to leave such a line to express his feelings for Chu State. Chaos asked us to read that line, It explains its ambition, but it doesn’t say that it was the words carved by itself.”

"That makes sense..." Zuo Guangshu said, "Brother Jiang, do we want to help Chaos?"

"It's probably hard for Chu people not to be moved by this spirit." Jiang Wang smiled and said, "We'll wait until we meet Jiaxuan first and find the Chapter of Nine Phoenixes."

Chaos only said to keep walking in the direction facing the Poseidon Wall, but did not say how long it would take.

Probably for it, time is not an important thing. Or perhaps, the concept of time has been lost in its constantly conflicting thoughts.

There is no distinction between day and night in Toonnanyuan, and the three people on the road can only keep track of the time in their hearts.

They rarely spoke anymore and became increasingly silent. Even with the help of the Wither Tower, more and more energy must be allocated to fight against the environment of the Withered South Abyss.

It’s not just the extremely chaotic Chongxuan environment, it’s not just the infestation of dead silence and suppressed emotions.

There is also the dark wind that blows down from time to time, which will cut across like a blade.

The sea water, which is dead most of the time, sometimes suddenly "collapses". Like quicksand in the desert, there are sinking places in the water.

Zuo Guangshu only felt that there was a terrifying aura on the other side of the "sinking pit", but he could not examine it carefully.

Later, they stopped treading water and walked directly into the air. In this way, they would undoubtedly consume more yuan stones in the confrontation with the extremely heavy and mysterious environment——

For Zuo Guangshu, this was the last thing he needed to worry about.

But he didn't dare to fly too high, because the sky was really dark, and there were obviously things full of evil intentions hidden in the low clouds.

Just keep going forward.

Until a certain moment - Zuo Guangshu remembered that it was thirty-five hours later.

They did see the phoenix.

At that time, the sky was lightless and the sea was dark.

They all felt tired, but no one complained, they just moved forward silently.

Then when he raised his eyes, his field of vision was already occupied.

It was a black phoenix hundreds of feet long.

Lin in front, deer in back, snake head and fish tail, dragon and turtle's back, swallow's jaw and chicken's beak.

There are five lines on its body, which appear like characters.

The first text is called virtue, the wing text is called shun, the back text is called yi, the belly text is called faith, and the back text is called benevolence.

Noble, mysterious, gorgeous...

But it has been dead for a long time.

Ps: Regarding Zhu Jiuyin, there are two places recorded in the original text of Shan Hai Jing. In overseas Northern Classics, it is said that Zhongshan and Zhuyin are mentioned. In the Dahuang Bei Jing, it is said that Zhangwei Mountain is called Zhujiuyin and Zhulong. The descriptions of other images and abilities are consistent and should be fallacies. Let’s unify it here.

Thanks to the new alliance leader Heisei Decade for the reward!
