The Ascension of Ghosts

When one person and one monster confronted each other in the sky, Lu Sheng had already found where the roots of the vines were. The vines penetrated deep into the ground, as thick as a hundred-year-old banyan tree, and the air roots grew densely around them.He stopped a few feet away and looked at it. The root system grew like a green Buddha statue, sitting on a lotus platform, countless vines radiated like light, spreading in all directions, and new shoots were rapidly sprouting from the burnt ends.

There is a striped line in the center of the Buddha statue, which is darker and darker than the surrounding green. Every other section, it presents a fist-sized dark green swirl shape, located on the top of the Buddha statue's head, between the eyebrows, throat, chest, etc., from top to bottom, There are seven in total.

If Lu Sheng is well-informed, he should be able to see that this is where the seven chakras of Tantric practitioners are located, and it is also the key point of Jundali.It should have been hidden deep under the solid surface and properly protected, but by accident, it was fully exposed in front of his eyes.

Although Lu Sheng didn't know anything about it, he intuitively felt that the dark green light wheel was the key to destroying this monster. However, the vines were strong and couldn't be treated with common sense. Even with a hanging pot, he couldn't destroy it. Lightning wheel.

There is only one chance, and you can only choose one of the seven light wheels.

King Jundali Ming's life wheel is the sea chakra, which is extremely hidden and covered by layers of vines. He was originally an extremely difficult opponent.However, Lu Sheng had beheaded Wu Lin and the other three before, and the evil energy of Xing Tian's broken blade penetrated from the wound. It was extremely difficult to deal with at first, but now it died with his body, and when he was absorbed by Jun Tuli, he was also sucked into his veins.

This sliver of resentment and ferocity from the ancient demon gods in the Central Plains traced their roots from the inside, and naturally gathered in Jundali's vitals. It flickered in Lu Sheng's eyes, as clear as a lamp in the dark.

Lu Sheng got along with this fierce sword day and night, and unconsciously resonated with it. The hanging pot was unsheathed, and with all his strength, he stabbed at the base of the leg of the green vine Buddha statue.

He castrated fiercely, cut off countless thin vines blocking the way, pierced the Buddha statue deeply with his long sword, and shattered the vortex of light and shadow where the submarine chakra was.

Once shattered, it becomes unstoppable. When the Buddha statue started, the vines exploded into countless cracks, shattered inch by inch, and quickly spread to the ends of the branches. The green vines all over the sky were like fragile thin glass, making a crisp cracking sound, rustling and falling. All over the ground, the crisp sound is like pearls falling on a jade plate, gradually piling up into knee-deep green snowdrifts.

The vines supporting Gundali, as well as Gundali himself, were also shattered and scattered from the outside to the inside, as if a dry and cracked clay doll could not hold the prototype, a large green shell peeled off from his hideous face, and even his voice was hoarse and piercing , hissing and leaking air like a broken bellows, his eyes were dazed, and he suddenly said: "This is not... possible... Mere, mortal, how can I destroy my golden body..."

Xie Rong's face was as pale as frost and snow, and he sneered and said, "Evil heretics, ghosts and ghosts, how dare you pretend to be a god and Buddha?"

But the monster turned a deaf ear, and still murmured: "This is not... possible... I clearly... summoned King Ming with the power of a city, why...failed?"

Xie Rong said: "If I want to kill you, even the sky will help me. If you don't fail, the sky will not allow it."

The monster finally turned its half-golden eyes, glared at Xie Rong viciously, and cried hoarsely: "I still, can't die...Miss San, I'm waiting..."

Xie Rong originally wanted to sneer, saying that Miss San never waited for him, and that the 500 years of ridicule was just Li Ying's own obsession and wishful thinking, and that Mrs. Li never cared about him from the beginning to the end.

It's just that he didn't say a single word until the wailing was exhausted, the green vines disappeared, and the glass was shattered.

—What right does he have to ridicule others when it comes to the futility of spending one's life chasing hopeless things?

Lu Sheng raised his head, the fragments were finally scattered, and his vision became clear. The noble young master, who looked like a bright moon in the sky, had stood in front of him at some point, and said with a smile, "Let's go back."

Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly put his sword back into its sheath, and looked around. The broken walls and ruins were buried under the debris like green snow. On the contrary, it was like all things sprouting in early spring, full of greenery and vitality, which made people unconscious Give birth to some expectations.He got closer, looked Xie Rong up and down, worried: "Has Ah Rong ever been injured?"

Xie Rong just lowered her eyes and smiled, "No."

He moved slowly, slowly took out the Shenzhou tripod, placed it carefully in Lu Sheng's hand, and said in a low voice, "Baoyang, listen to me."

The copper tripod was cold and heavy in his hand, Lu Sheng subconsciously clenched it tightly, and he held his breath and said, "Okay."

Xie Rong said: "You wait here. It may take half a day or even a short time, and a towering tree will grow out. The name of the tree is Fusang, which can penetrate the world. You only need to climb up the trunk to return to the world... After going back , seal Bi Fang in the tripod, cut off the secrets of heaven, and cut off the passage between the two worlds. Naturally, there will be no ghost leaves and others to find a gap to break in and harm the survivors of the ancient times. This tripod is kept for now, and it must not be revealed to anyone. Half a sentence. If you leave Taicheng, you can’t go back to your residence, but temporarily live in Dawangzhuang, those monsters can protect you even though they don’t understand the world.”

The more Lu Sheng listened, the more something was wrong. He wanted to speak several times, but Xie Rong pressed his lips to stop him. After Xie Rong finished urging in one breath, asked him if he wrote it down?Lu Sheng nodded, and asked back, "Why did you suddenly tell me so much? Ah Rong, are you going to go back with me?"

Xie Rong smiled lightly, and he got very close to Lu Sheng, hugged the young man in his arms, rubbed his lips with his thumb, and said softly: "Naturally, I want to be together...just to make you tired Baoyang, you can't... leave me behind."

Before Lu Sheng asked him why he was tired, he felt that the person in his arms suddenly fell down. He subconsciously hugged Xie Rong tightly, and when he looked up, he realized that the person had passed out without warning.

The body in his arms was cold and heavy, and Lu Sheng became more and more flustered. He carefully placed Xie Rong on the ground, wrapped his upper body in his arms, and asked blankly, "Bi Fang..."

He looked sideways, and the little silver crane that had been chattering in his ear before stopped motionless on his shoulder, even its luster was dim, its wings were folded, its head drooped and it was silent.

Lu Sheng sighed, recalling Xie Rong's advice word by word, and waited patiently in place.

The person in his arms breathed calmly, with thick long eyelashes hanging down, handsome face, jade bones and snow muscles, and a tall and straight body leaning softly in his arms, it seemed a little more charming.

Lu Sheng looked around subconsciously. Naturally, there was no one around. Even Bi Fang seemed to be in a trance, without any movement. Then he raised his hand carefully, touched the man's cheek, and traced his fingertips across his chin, along his lips. The shape is traced carefully, and the touch is delicate and soft. The aggressive and strong posture in the past has now restrained its edge and let him get whatever he wants.

He didn't feel his throat was dry, he swallowed a few times, and hurriedly pinched Xie Rong's cheeks as if to cover up, leaving red marks on his fair skin, then he relieved his anger and hummed: "Who told you to always hurt me on weekdays... ..."

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly shook violently. Lu Sheng hurriedly hugged Xie Rong tightly, but he found that the ground beneath him was slowly rising, and the green debris on the edge was falling down, and the scenery sank, gradually out of sight.

The green debris spread out, revealing a thick and wide green leaf under the two people's feet, as big as a bamboo mat, and the color was like jasper, firmly supporting the two to ascend to the sky.

Lu Sheng looked along the veins, and saw a strong and thick green stem growing rapidly, but it would be far-fetched to say it was a hibiscus tree, it would be better to say it was a bean vine.

The bean vine spread its green leaves and grew fast, Lu Sheng felt the wind whistling by his ears, he hugged Xie Rong tightly, and raised his sleeves to cover his head and face.After half a stick of incense, the leaf rushed into the darkness, as if the clouds broke through the sky, and the moonlight shone down, illuminating the fallen leaves and dead trees in the courtyard, making it extremely silent.

Lu Sheng rubbed his eyes and came back to his senses, only to realize that he and Xie Rong were sitting in the garden of the main hall of Hongzhao Palace cuddling up.

The giant willow has disappeared, and there is only a withered tree stump no bigger than the mouth of a bowl.

Lianting Qingxi Baihuashou, there is not much difference from when the two of them first entered the palace, except that the moon in the middle of the sky changed from a first quarter moon to a half moon.

Remembering his instructions, Lu Sheng quickly grabbed Bi Fang who was motionless, and threw it into the copper tripod. The silver crane immediately melted and turned into a thin silver light film to block the mouth of the tripod.He put the small tripod back into his chest jacket, fortunately it was freezing cold, everyone dressed thickly, and the tripod was so small that he couldn't see it after hiding it properly.

He hid it in time, but just after he stowed it away, there was a sound of light and dense footsteps from the front hall, and a crowd broke in.

The leader Taoist in the red Taoist robe is Xie Rong's mentor Ge Hong, Sima Yu followed closely behind, Fan Gongling, palace officials, Taoist priests, and Habayashi guards with knives also followed, everyone looked dignified as if they were facing an enemy .

Lu Sheng couldn't help feeling guilty, and hugged the person in his arms tighter, but saw Ge Hong frowned slightly, then laughed, and said softly: "So it was Lu Gongcao who saved Pindao's apprentice, Pindao first thank you pass."

Sima Yu also laughed, and clapped his hands lightly, "Come on, it's lucky that I'm fine, I'll settle down for now, and we'll talk about it at dawn."

With the crown prince and the national teacher in front, Fan Gongling naturally had no chance to speak, so he could only cover his worried eyes, lowered his head to give a blessing, and replied: "I obey the order." She took another step forward, "Lu Gongcao... ..."

However, Lu Sheng's face suddenly became gloomy, and he pushed Xie Rong away from his arms, letting him fall to the ground without a sound, and said with a sneer, "Daoist priest's precious apprentice, please take good care of him. I, Lu Sheng, have no morals and are incompetent Don’t dare to delay Mr. Xie’s important matter. Wait for this young master... this Marquis wakes up, please tell the Taoist priest that Lu is just a layman, and he is not used to living a miserable life in the barren mountains and wild mountains, pheasants and hares..."

Sima Yu's face changed again and again, and finally asked: "Lu Gongcao and Rujiao have been missing for half a month, are they trapped in the barren mountains?"

Lingbao Mountain was surrounded by poisonous fog, and Wuxian City was destroyed. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a barren mountain and wild ridge. Lu Sheng naturally nodded confidently: "Although I don't understand the cause and effect...but I was forced by Xie Rong to accompany him to investigate. Explore the vision in Hongzhao Palace, this matter has Fan Gongling to testify."

Fan Gongling took a step forward, saluted and replied: "There is indeed such a thing."

Lu Sheng revealed a look of resentment, and said again: "...dozed off in the middle of the night, and woke up to be trapped, and there is no one around, and I don't know what kind of heart Xie Rong... is at ease."

Sima sighed more and more, but he believed it a little bit, and asked again: "What happened after that?"

Ge Hong winked, and two young Taoist priests stepped forward to help Xie Rong up, he said with a smile: "This is not a place to talk, Prince, why don't you please go to Sheng'an Palace to explain in detail."

Sima Yu nodded and said: "The national teacher is right, Lu Gongcao, why don't you come to this world first... I have a rest in the palace, and then I will make a fuss."

Lu Sheng clenched his fingers into fists, and said with a wry smile: "I'm terrified, the ins and outs are like clouds and mist, I don't understand, I'm afraid I will disappoint the prince and the national teacher. These days, I'm miserable, now I finally got a chance to breathe, and begged the prince to show mercy and let me... go home."

Sima Yu turned his head to look at Ge Hong, but Ge Hong squinted his eyes to look at Lu Sheng, his eyes were dark and flickering up and down, and then he said softly: "Prince, Lu Gongcao is the best friend of the poor and beloved disciple, please let the prince go." convenient."

Fan Gongling hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I am ordered by the concubine, willing to lead the way for Lu Gongcao."

Sima Yu smiled and said, "I'm also close friends with Baoyang, why do I need help from outsiders? Zhao Fu, take my token and send Lu Gongcao out of Taicheng properly. If there's anything wrong, you're the only one to ask."

A middle-aged servant behind him hastily bowed in response: "Prince, don't worry!"

Lu Sheng thanked and said goodbye, then turned around, forced himself to hold back, and refused to look at Xie Rong any more, only feeling the weight of the bronze cauldron on his chest, burning like fire, and the eyes behind his back like thorns, like needles Tie, only to hold on to the hanging pot, and walk out of Hongzhao Palace without looking back.

Sima Yu watched the young man leave in a panic with his hands behind his back, his brows were slightly frowned, and he said in a low voice: "Master, do you really want to let him go?"

Ge Hongdao: "I've looked at it carefully. Except for the Xingtian Broken Blade, there's nothing else in his body. It's a hindrance if he stays... In the end, he will have to rely on him to nourish the Broken Blade for a while. Come."

Sima Yu said: "It's just that Ruju was too tight with him."

Ge Hong snorted, shook his head and sighed: "You aristocratic boys, who spend all day in romance, don't know what kind of deep love is. It's just fighting for each other and refusing to give in to each other, so you will be obsessed with monopoly. If it is like this in the future I'm tired of it, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will abandon him again if he surrenders his meritorious service."

Sima choked even more, but he had a lot of previous crimes, even if he wanted to refute a few words now, he was still powerless, so he simply smiled wryly, turned his head and told him: "Move carefully, if the Marquis of An knows that you are clumsy, wake up." There must be no forgiveness."

The Taoist priests and the palace people responded repeatedly, and trotted all the way to fetch Buyu, carefully carried Xie Rong, who had been unconscious until now, and left Hongzhao Palace together.

Under the root system of the withered tree stump, the bean vines as thick as stone pillars turned from green to yellow, gradually withering and shrinking.

When the whole vine withered, a bean pod the size of a person grew at the upper part. After it was ripe, it slowly fell to the ground as the vine withered and withered.

A young monk dressed as a traveling monk with a veiled cap, blue and blue cassock, leggings, and a monk's stick with eyebrows in his hand appeared from nowhere, and approached with steady steps. The pods were ripe and yellow, he just I tapped on the edge with a monk stick, and the pods burst open immediately, revealing the sleeping boy inside.

The young man curled up like a baby, completely naked, not even hair, fair complexion, only his lips were bright red, like a red plum on the snow, and his eyebrows vaguely resembled ghost leaves.

After the pods burst open, he moved his thick eyelashes, and opened his eyes as if waking up from a dream. His eyes were clear and spotless, reflecting the blue veiled hat in front of him, and he sat up, showing his figure unscrupulously, smiling innocently and purely, looking up. Asked: "Who are you?"

The traveling monk took off his veil and cap, revealed his handsome appearance, and said with a smile, "Poor monk, Sunshine, he is your senior brother."

The young man had no doubts at all, nodded and said: "Brother, then who am I?"

Sun Guang said: "Your real name is Guiye. In order to summon King Jundali Ming, you tried to sacrifice a city's life. Therefore, from today onwards, you are Jundali."

The boy stood up from the pod, clapped his hands happily and said: "Then am I very powerful, the most powerful in the world?"

Sunshine took out a white gown from his pocket, put it on the young man's shoulders, stroked his smooth scalp lightly, and said softly, "It's not enough right now, in the future... that's it."
