Daoism

When Chi Xiu woke up, it was already broad daylight.How could he be so drunk after only drinking a few glasses of wine?

Seeing a letter on the table, he opened it and it was left by Emperor Yi. He said that he had to go back to deal with something suddenly in the Demon Realm, and he had to go back for a few days.

Chi Xiu didn't care, this was what he should do, and he had already delayed a lot of things for himself as a mortal.

Cultivation is the same as usual, cooking at home and tutoring Jing Yuan...

It has been a long time since I practiced like this, and I also came back halfway through the Emperor's Road, lived there for a few days and left in a hurry several times.Chixiu has never had any temper, and Emperor Yihuangdao also promised to make up for him.On the contrary, it made him feel very strange, what compensation... It made him seem to be competing with the demon world for the way to embalm the emperor.

But knowing the emperor's temper, he didn't argue about anything.

Chi Xiu sent the emperor to leave, and found some rare herbs on the mountain, so he picked a plant and put it in a flower pot, and it grew alive.After a few days of practice, I went up the mountain with baskets on my back, and I had to dig more and go back to plant.

Chi Xiu was on the top of the mountain enjoying the panoramic view.No matter how you look at it, this place is quiet and refreshing...but it's a bit too quiet, as if it's not popular.

...popularity?

Chi Xiu noticed something was wrong.

Chi Xiu stood up slowly, looking at the village in the basin in disbelief—where is the person?Where did people go?

The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. He turned his head and looked forward. It was a forest, and he walked in from here at the beginning.The naked eye could not see anything wrong, but his intuition told Chi Xiu that it was not right, that it was not where he had walked.

Chi Xiu walked forward aimlessly again, walked straight, walked a few hundred steps, and looked down at the road under his feet.He really wanted to believe that he was dazzled, but the traces of the barrier were too obvious, maybe he could deceive Qi Ling, but for himself, the seams of the barrier could be seen at a glance.

Stretching out his hand to touch the barrier wall, the watery touch truly told Xixiu that Long Xiaopo was really surrounded by the barrier.

There is only one person in the whole village who can make this kind of enchantment without letting him notice it—Huanghuangdao.But why did he do this?

Chi Xiu couldn't go out for the time being, so he had to turn back to the village.

Is the embalming emperor afraid that he will escape?Or... what's going on outside?

When Chixiu returned home, he didn't feel any drowsiness anymore.In the evening, Jingyuan came back, talking to Chixiu as if she was real Jingyuan, and helping Chixiu with cooking.If Chi Xiu hadn't noticed that he was not popular, he would have been tricked by him.

Chi Xiu remained calm, wanting to see what they were going to do.

Guarding this place where he was alone at night, Jixiu felt chills in his heart, as if he was in a gloomy ghost town, surrounded by evil spirits that could devour him at any time.

The enchantment of the Emperor's Road can't be broken through practice, so we can only wait for the Emperor's Road to come back.But the Emperor's Road did not arrive, but Yu Guangming instead.

Seeing Yu Guangming in the barrier, Chi Xiu was surprised and asked, "How...how did you get in?"

Yu Guangming looked at the barrier and said, "It can only enter but not exit."

Disappointed.

Yu Guangming said: "There is no time to sigh, the Demon Emperor has already led his troops to attack the human world!"

Jixiu looked at her in surprise.Saying he was surprised, Chi Xiu wasn't surprised at all, he had already thought of this day in his heart... But what he didn't want to believe was the Emperor's Way, which once again lied to him.

"Isn't there an enchantment in the Demon Realm, so the army can't leave the Demon Realm?" Chi Xiu asked.

"The enchantment is broken. You broke a layer of enchantment for the demon world before, and the last layer was also broken a while ago." Yu Guangming said. "

"……Some time ago?"

"Yes, during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Chixiu remembered that he was drunk that day, and as soon as it was dawn, he left on the way to mortuary emperor the next day.Only one letter was left behind, and I was still waiting impatiently for him to come back after dealing with the devil world...

Chi Xiu sincerely waited for him to come back.I don't want him to be in an awkward position between the Demon Realm and myself, I can bear anything, I can do anything.Abandoning the view of Weiyun, confronting my uncle with a sword... Thinking about it, how stupid I am in his eyes.I thought he was here to accompany me, but it turned out that he was waiting for an opportunity.

Seeing that Chixiu was calm and did not react too much, Yu Guangming was afraid that he would not be able to accept it, so he worriedly said: "Chixiu... are you okay?"

"I'm fine...very fine." Chi Xiu said.In my heart is hatred and resentment towards myself.Chi Xiu suppressed the intense emotions in his heart and asked, "How is the battle outside?"

"not good."

"It's also... how can mortals compare with demon soldiers." Chi Xiu thought that the flames of war sweeping the human world were caused by laissez-faire, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Guangming didn't want to say too much, she couldn't estimate what her practice would be like after learning the truth.

Chi Xiu kept his head down all the time, thinking about the flames of war outside, and how many families would be ruined... Suddenly he thought of something, looked at Yu Guangming and asked, "How do you know I'm here?"

Yu Guangming was startled, bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing Yu Guangming's appearance, Jixiu's heart sank. Although he didn't know what it was, it would definitely not be a good thing.

"Ma'am, if you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it. Chixiu still has some ability, if you can make up for something, that would be the best."

Yu Guangming hesitated again and again before opening his mouth and said: "When Xiangyi died, he lodged his last spiritual consciousness on your body, so when I first saw you, I felt Xiangyi's spiritual consciousness before I asked you, Do you know Xiangyi?"

When Chi Xiu thought about Xiang Yi's death, he really felt a little strange, but because it disappeared too quickly, he never took it to heart.It turned out to be Xiangyi...

"Xiang Yi didn't let you borrow the Demonic Flame, in fact, it was to prevent the demon world from attacking the human world."

Chi Xiu frowned and said, "How?"

"Although the Abandoned Demon Flame was cast as a seal to return to the demon gate, as long as there is the Emperor's Way, the Abandoned Demon Flame can be resurrected at any time, and the Abandoned Demon Flame can demonize the land of the human world and absorb people as energy. Enjoy the most I didn’t know it at first, because Dengxian Dao had existed in the human world for a long time, and there were no abnormalities. Later, because the Emperor’s Path was out of customs, Xiangyi noticed that the flame of abandoning demons inside Dengxian Dao was showing signs of recovery, so he returned to the Demon Realm and searched secretly. After collecting a lot of information, it was confirmed.”

"Xiangyi can't stop you from borrowing the magic flame, so you can only start from the enchantment of the demon world. You came here because of Xiangyi's spiritual knowledge."

"here?"

"Yes, Long Xiao Potian is the place where the last barrier of the demon world is sealed."

"But... my arrival has attracted the emperor's way. Doesn't this just allow the emperor's way to break the barrier smoothly? Why did Xiangyi do this?"

"I can't think of it either, but there must be a purpose. Because Xiangyi has set up a formation here, almost no one can find it here." Yu Guangming affirmed. "Also, the demon world is also controlled by the demon world."

"how come?"

"It's Hualou Pavilion and Jiangyue. But the seal on the back to the demon gate has not been moved, it should be that Quexian has tampered with it. Therefore, the soldiers and horses of the demon world can only attack from the demon world."

Keep silent.When he woke up, he saw that the broken painting was gone, and Emperor Yi said that it was taken away by Jingyuan.His heart and eyes were full of the way of the emperor, and he never doubted every word he said.But now, which of his words is true?From the very beginning, he was setting up a trap. From the very beginning, he had jumped into his trap without knowing it. Let him use it a lot to open up the overall situation of his demon world step by step.

Keep practicing, keep practicing, you are hopelessly stupid!

Chixiu and Yu Guangming searched Long Xiaopotian inside and out carefully - Chixiu didn't worry about being seen by the puppets in the village, he believed that with the ability to embalm the emperor, he must know that Yu Guangming was here, so there was no need to be careful dodge.Long Xiao Potian did have a secret hidden, but they couldn't figure it out.

The two stood on the top of the hill and looked down, Yu Guangming said: "The shape of the road left by the arrangement of the houses is very similar to the magic gate."

"What do you mean?"

"Actually, the magic gate is arranged like this, but the magic is that you don't have to go, you can go directly to the place you want to go. This is leading to each house, and the magic gate leads to various realms, connecting immortals, monsters, ghosts The passages of all walks of life. It’s just that the demon world has repeatedly caused chaos, and Xianming closed the passages.” Yu Guangming explained.

"So it is."

The two really couldn't figure out what Xiangyi wanted to tell them.Just when the two were distressed, the mirror-like pool of water in the middle was lifted into the air and reversed, and then disappeared in an instant, and the village disappeared together.

Chixiu and Yu Guangming couldn't believe their eyes. A few pieces of broken paper floated down from the air for no reason.

"Phantom door?"

Yu Guangming and Jixiu are still unclear.The piece of paper was burnt so that only these two characters were left to be read clearly.

"Maybe it's a coincidence?" Yu Guangming said.

Jixiu shook his head.

Maybe the breakthrough is at the magic door?

While both of them were thinking, there was movement in the barrier.

The Empress Dowager actually came back.
