Mind Cultivation Record

"Ling'er! You don't want to go back to Shichahai? Why?"

"Brother Xiao! My cousin Lan is no longer what he used to be!"

"Tuoba? He...what happened to him?"

"Since he became the holy monk and protector, cousin Lan seems to have become a different person. Sometimes I really don't understand: Why did the young holy monk choose him to be the protector?"

Tuoba Ling didn't want to say anything clearly, and Xiao Mian couldn't ask more questions.

What's more, aren't things between Xiao Mian and Tuoba Lan also different?

"Ling'er! If you don't return to Shichahai, where are you going?"

"this……"

The sky is huge and the earth is huge, but Tuoba Ling has no place for a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian sighed quietly.

"One of the top ten Buddhist temples in Western Shuzhou is Cihang Jingzhai. All of them are bhikkhunis. I have some friendship with Master Jingyin, the host of Cihang Jingzhai. Are you willing..."

"Brother Xiao! Do you want me to become a nun?"

"That's not what I meant! There are also lay female cultivators in Cihang Jingzhai!"

"That's a nunnery after all! I don't want to go there!" After a pause, Tuobaling whispered: "Where is the pure land of Buddhism?"

Obviously, Tuobaling no longer has a good impression of Buddhism...

When Xiao Mian saw this, he couldn't help but smile.

"If this is the case, I'm afraid there will be no place for you in the entire Western Shu State! In that case, are you willing to follow me back to Nanyue State? Wan Zong City is safer at least!"

"Nanyue? Yes! I am willing!" Tuoba Ling's eyes shone, staring at Xiao Mian, and said to himself: "As long as you follow Brother Xiao! You can do it anywhere!"

Xiao Mian sighed softly when he heard this.

Ye Qingguo hasn't been sorted out yet, but now there is another Tuobaling...

However, whether it is Ye Qingguo or Tuoba Ling, Xiao Mian cannot abandon them - for now, let's take it one step at a time!

"Okay! Just follow me..."

Taking out a piece of maza and giving it to Tuobaling, Xiao Mian took Tuobaling back to the secret realm of Xuanwei Cave and then directly back to Wanzong City.

After contacting Hemerocallis, Xiao Mian entrusted Tuoba Ling to Hemerocallis to take care of him.

He himself has tens of thousands of urgent matters that need to be dealt with urgently.

It’s a matter of life and death in the Netherworld!

Without stopping, Xiao Mian went straight to the Five Elements Gate.

Going deep into the Five Elements Gate, Xiao Mian went straight into the depths of the ground.

At this time, the outside of the passage was no longer deserted.

Two heavenly ghost cultivators were guarding the outside of the passage.

Xiao Mian did not hide his identity and appeared directly at the entrance of the passage.

"Two seniors have invited me! This junior wants to see your young master!"

"Who are you? How dare you break in here?"

"Since I know this place, I am not an outsider!" Xiao Mian, who was neither arrogant nor humble, pointed out something: "This matter not only involves your young master, but also the senior Ghost Emperor!"

"..."

Faced with Xiao Mian's calmness, the two Heavenly Ghost Cultivators looked at each other.

At the moment, one of them stayed to monitor Xiao Mian, while the other flew away in the direction of the gate of the underworld - obviously, the gate of the underworld was the top priority.

I am afraid that a large number of barriers have been set up around the entire gate of the underworld.

After all, this is not only the passage for ghost cultivators from the spiritual world to enter here, but also the entrance for them to return to the spiritual world when the spiritual war ends in the future!

Once the gate to the underworld is lost, the ghost cultivator in the spiritual world will need to go to war.

Not long after, the Ghost Heavenly Lord left and returned.

Accompanying him was a Jiuyou clone—Xia Jiuyou’s clone!

Although Xia Jiuyou couldn't stand Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian couldn't stand Xia Jiuyou either.

In this way, Xiao Mian, guided by Xia Jiuyou's Jiuyou clone, walked towards the gate of the underworld. Along the way, both of them were silent.

When he arrived at the gate of the underworld, Xiao Mian raised his head and looked surprised.

Xiao Mian had previously sat quietly by the Gate of the Underworld for a long time, just to help Fu Qingjue sacrifice the Styx ghost body. Xiao Mian was no stranger to the Gate of the Underworld.

However, the gate of the underworld at this time is completely different.

The entire Gate of the Underworld is not only three-thirds larger, but it has also become distorted from its previous calmness like water. It looks like an inverted funnel or a pyramid, as if something is about to break out of the Earth and break through the sky. And go...

It seems even better that there is a ferocious beast trying to escape from its trap.

At the very center of the Gate of the Underworld, there is a White Bone Demon Tower, sitting in it.

Without saying a word, the Jiuyou clone headed straight for the White Bone Demon Tower.

Xiao Mian thought for a while and followed closely behind.

When passing the gate of the underworld, Xiao Mian was shocked to see countless ghosts from the underworld in the portal below, trying to break through the gate of the underworld and enter here.

No matter how hard they try, they always break through.

Obviously, although the door to the underworld is open, there is another mystery.

Finally reaching the White Bone Demon Tower, Xiao Mian went deep into it.

At the top of the Bone Demon Tower, Xiao Mian met Fu Qingjue as he wished.

Of course, beside Fu Qingjue, there was always the Nine Netherworld Emperor.

"What are you here for?"

At this time, Fu Qingjue still looked as handsome as before.

When Xiao Mian saw it, he lost his mind for a moment.

Fu Qingjue suddenly snorted coldly when he saw this.

Immediately, there was an icy cold wave of consciousness that attacked Xiao Mian.

Xiao Mian was shocked, and the Divine Mirror automatically moved without wind.

There was a soft sound of waves, and Xiao Mian's figure swayed.

Obviously, to this day, Fu Qingqiong's cultivation level is already quite terrifying.

Otherwise, with the power of the Divine Mirror, Xiao Mian would definitely not be in such a mess.

It's just this kind of progress that makes Xiao Mian not know whether to be happy or depressed...

"If you have something to say, tell me quickly! I don't have time to waste time with you!"

"...I wonder what big thing you are busy with? Let me guess: Could it be to fulfill the bet between Senior Ghost Emperor and Buddha Sakyamuni?"

"You! Master, did you even tell you this?"

Fu Qingjue's so-called "master" is naturally the Ghost Emperor of the Spirit World!

Hearing this, Xiao Mian felt depressed, but had to cheer up.

"Now the entire Western Shu Prefecture has become the world of Buddhist cultivators. Even the ghost realm can only survive for a moment and a half. It is doomed after all!"

"Hmph! So what? I have master's elite ghost cultivators under my command. They are all equal to one and a hundred, and they can attack everything they point at!"

"Since that big shot in Buddhism dares to make a bet with Senior Ghost Emperor, do you think he is unprepared? Senior Ghost Emperor has lost the opportunity!"

"..., it doesn't matter! I am going to send troops to Xishu!"

"Xiao is here to advise you not to send troops to Western Shu!"

"You! Huh! I am here to fulfill Master's order. This matter is more important than the spiritual war itself. How can I allow you to talk too much?"

"I don't want to stop you from fighting with the Buddhist monks, but from Xiao's point of view, Western Shuzhou is not the most suitable casino!"

"Oh? Then what do you think: where is the most suitable casino?"

Narrowing his eyes, Fu Qingjue looked at Xiao Mian with interest.

Xiao Mian took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

"Zhongzhou!" After a pause, Xiao Mian continued: "Qin County!"

Zhongzhou——Qin County!

The geographical location of Qin County is very special.

It borders Xishu Prefecture to the west, Nanyue Prefecture to the south, and Northern Wei Prefecture to the north.

Qin County, located on the western border of Zhongzhou, can be said to be the place of the Four Wars!

If the ghost cultivators of the spiritual world and the Buddhist cultivators of the spiritual world fight in Western Shu Prefecture, it will naturally cause a hundred harms and no benefits to Western Shu Prefecture.

No matter who wins, the Buddhist cultivator or the ghost cultivator, all they will get is ruins.

If the two sides invade Nanyue State, Xiao Mian will naturally not be happy to see it.

Only this Qin County is right between Xishu Prefecture and Nanyue Prefecture...

This is Xiao Mian's plan - to divert trouble to the east!

The little monk has already made arrangements.

Now, it depends on how Fu Qingqiong decides...

After hearing Xiao Mian's intention, Fu Qingqiong remained silent for a long time.

But it was Xia Jiuyou who snorted coldly.

"Hmph! You kid has a good plan! The Buddhist cultivators in the spiritual world and the ghost cultivators in the spiritual world are fighting in Qin County. The Taoist sect intervenes and the three parties fight. You can just sit back and watch!"

Xia Jiuyou's words were not heart-breaking, but they were exactly what Xiao Mian had in mind.

Facing Xia Jiuyou's questioning, Xiao Mian responded calmly.

"That's right! That's what I meant! But Senior Ghost Emperor just wants you to be better than Buddhist cultivators. As for where to win, there doesn't seem to be any requirements, right?"

"Can you guarantee that in Qin County, I, Ghost Dao, will definitely win?"

"The so-called invincibility is just self-deception! But if the ghosts do as I say and move to Qin County, I will do my best to help you!"

"You? Who do you think you are!?"

"enough!"

With a sudden shout, Fu Qingqiong interrupted Xia Jiuyou's shouting.

"Let me ask you: If my ghost spiritual cultivator is willing to move to Qin County, what about the spiritual Buddhist cultivators? Will they be willing to come to Qin County to die?"

"Don't bother Your Excellency with this matter!"

"Okay!" Fu Qingqiong smiled slightly: "I will do as you wish!"

"Young Master! This...is a serious matter. Do you want to ask Master for instructions?"

"No need! Master gives me the right to act arbitrarily. If I bother Master with this little matter, aren't you afraid that he will blame me and cause you and me to suffer?"

"……,yes!"

Although she was a little angry, Xia Jiuyou didn't dare to make any mistakes.

The right to act arbitrarily is indeed what the Ghost Emperor himself said.

In other words, Fu Qingqiong alone can decide all matters related to ghost cultivation in the spirit world.

Xia Jiuyou is, at best, Fu Qingqiong's personal bodyguard. Of course, Xia Jiuyou's other clone is to monitor Fu Qingqiong.

But as long as Fu Qingqiong's decision does not blatantly violate the Ghost Emperor's wishes, Xia Jiuyou cannot bypass Fu Qingqiong and meet the Ghost Emperor directly.

Fu Qingqiong and Xia Jiuyou know this very well.

As for Xiao Mian, he felt relieved after receiving Fu Qingqiong's response.

Rolling his eyes, Xiao Mian remembered something.

"There are two major sects in Qin County, the Seven Emotions Demon Palace and the Supreme Good Sect. These are Xiao's old friends. If possible, I hope you will show mercy!"

"As long as they don't interfere in the fight between my ghost cultivators and Buddhist cultivators, I won't bother to deal with them! However, I can't guarantee the Buddhist cultivators' side!"

"Thank you!"

On the Buddhist side, Xiao Mian would naturally have a secret conversation with the young monk.

Xiao Mian was overjoyed that things went so smoothly, but now that the official business was over, Xiao Mian felt a little melancholy - he had no excuse to stay!

"That's right! That child Qingjue has successfully condensed into an infant. He has obtained the Hunyuan Taoist lineage with his Ten Thousand Fantasy Battle Body. His achievements in the future will be limitless!"

"……,Yeah?"

Gently, Fu Qingqiong's expression did not change.

"Senior Sister and Chu Qing are both very good!"

"..."

By this time, Fu Qingqiong had nothing to say.

But it was Xia Jiuyou who glared at Xiao Mian rather angrily.

"You kid! Now that we've finished talking about business, why don't you get out of here!?"

"senior ! Xiao will take his leave now! I just hope that the ghost cultivator from the spirit world will go to Qin County and win a victory for the senior ghost emperor!"

After saying this, Xiao Mian walked out of the White Bone Demon Tower.

Fu Qingqiong was sitting high up, while Xia Jiuyou remained motionless, but a clone of Jiuyou came out of the White Bone Demon Tower along with Xiao Mian.

Just when Xiao Mian was in the hinterland of the Gate of the Underworld, suddenly, a ray of light broke out from the Gate of the Underworld below, and rushed towards Xiao Mian by accident.

Xiao Mian was shocked when he saw it. That dim light was clearly a ghost from the underworld!

Yin and Yang are separated, and if it were to change places, it would be impossible for the underworld ghost to appear in the Yang world, let alone appear in front of Xiao Mian.

Only this gate of the underworld can communicate with yin and yang.

It’s just that this underworld ghost came at the right time!

Although he was shocked, Xiao Mian had to go all out.

The best way to destroy the underworld ghost is the Sanqing Sword.

Could it be that the God-killing Sword has gained a reputation in vain?

Wherever the sword passes, any spiritual body, phantom body, or divine body will disappear into thin air.

The problem is that Xiao Mian's family knows his own affairs, and the Three Purities Sword is not reliable - I am afraid that when he is embraced by the ghost, the Three Purities Sword may not be activated.

Retreating to the next best thing, Xiao Mian activated the Sanqing Divine Light.

The Sanqing Divine Light is known as the first divine light to support righteousness and ward off evil spirits throughout the ages!

Wrapped in the three pure divine lights, Xiao Mian wanted to see: What could the underworld ghost do to him?

As soon as the Sanqing divine light came out, the ghost that had been attacking Xiao Mian before suddenly seemed like a headless fly, spinning back and forth in the sky above the gate of the underworld.

Obviously, it has lost Xiao Mian's coordinates...

At this time, Xiao Mian did not dare to be careless at all.

If it were just this ghost from the underworld, Xiao Mian would have walked away long ago.

But the time and location when this underworld ghost appeared were too coincidental.

Xiao Mian would not believe it if there was no one behind it to add fuel to the flames.

Sure enough, seeing that the ghosts of the underworld were unable to do anything to Xiao Mian, the man behind the scenes finally couldn't help but take action himself - Xia Jiuyou's Jiuyou clone!

This Jiuyou clone is the cultivation of a high-level Nascent Soul monk.

If Xiao Mian wants to deal with him, it will have to be a hard fight.

Facing this Jiuyou clone, Xiao Mian had no intention of fighting.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian suddenly shouted loudly.

"Senior Ghost Emperor! Is this how you entertain guests?"

The rolling sound was endless, resounding throughout the entire gate of the underworld.

In the White Bone Demon Tower, Fu Qingqiong's face changed drastically, and Xia Jiuyou looked ugly.

The next moment, the two of them disappeared at the same time and appeared next to Xiao Mian at the same time.

"Emperor Hades! You'd better explain to me: What is going on? Why did a ghost of the underworld escape from the gate of the underworld?"

"this……"

"Why does your Jiuyou clone appear here?"

"..." After enduring it for a long time, Xia Jiuyou finally couldn't help but speak: "Young Master! This boy is deceitful and definitely not a kind person. If we can't get rid of him as soon as possible, he will definitely ruin the master's good deeds and ruin the young master's good deeds in the future. It’s a big deal—Young Master, please be clear about it!”

"Emperor Hades! You are indeed loyal!" With eyes like black stars, Fu Qingqiong stared at Xia Jiuyou, but did not look at Xiao Mian. He asked calmly: "I just don't know: Emperor Hades, you are loyal to yourself. , or are you loyal to Master and me?”

"Young Master! This old slave has absolutely no difference between his master and the Young Master!" Halfway through his words, Xia Jiuyou asked instead, "Young Master! Do you still have unresolved feelings for him?"

"What? Do you have any objections?" Without raising his head, Fu Qingqiong said to himself: "Underworld Emperor! Even the master has never interfered with my affairs. If you have any objections, you can see the master next time Always ask him for instructions!”

"I don't dare! I just... just think that boy is not worthy of the young master! Young master! You are the master's close disciple! The master favors you very much. In time, you will be able to ascend to the spirit world under the master's protection! This kid..."

"That's enough! I don't want to hear you mention him again!" Fu Qingqiong suddenly shouted at Xiao Mian in a cold voice: "Why don't you hurry up - get out!?"

From beginning to end, Xiao Mian just stood there, looking at Fu Qingqiong.

Xiao Mian smiled bitterly when he heard that Fu Qingqiong had spoken rudely and ordered him to be kicked out.

Xia Jiuyou may be right: Fu Qingqiong has lingering feelings for him.

But so what?

What can Fu Qingqiong do if someone as powerful as the Ghost Emperor suppresses him?

Xiao Mian, what can I do?

After giving Fu Qingqiong a deep look, Xiao Mian turned and left.

This time, nothing happened along the way.

It wasn't until Xiao Mian completely disappeared that Fu Qingqiong took a deep breath.

"Give me the order: move to Qin County!"

"……,yes!"

The sky above the huge gate to the underworld fell into a long-lost silence.

Just because of today, although Xishu Prefecture and Nanyue Prefecture temporarily escaped the raging war, Zhongzhou Qinjun was dragged into the war by Xiao Miansheng.

Some things are just like that, one link must be broken.

When it comes to choosing between Nanyue Prefecture and Qin County, Xiao Mian naturally chooses the latter - Xiao Mian is even happy: he has the right to choose!
