Ask the Mirror Chapter 77: First visit to the Death Star Barrier

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!

According to Xue Pingzhi, Mrs. Xia may have made the arrangements thirty years ago. Does this mean that Xue Pingzhi will help her in Bixiao Qingtan thirty years later?

To put it bluntly, Xue Pingzhi is no longer the "Empress Xue" of the past. Her foundation has been destroyed and her cultivation is limited. Although she is still a first-rate alchemy master, she is not irreplaceable to Mrs. Xia. characters.

But the problem is that when many people think of Xue Pingzhi, the first thing they think of is the Rakshasa Ghost King.

Everyone knows that Xue Pingzhi has a sworn feud with the Rakshasa Ghost King. If we want to deal with him, Xue Pingzhi is a natural ally and the easiest gunman to manipulate!

If nothing else, just from Xue Pingzhi's perspective, Mrs. Xia doesn't need to say anything or even give any hints. Just long-term interactions may lead to this conclusion...

The driving force and temptation of hatred is terrible.

Yu Ci did not express similar thoughts.

Xue Pingzhi should have made corresponding preparations. After all, there are not many people in the world who can be upright and the Rakshasa Ghost King like Yu Ci.

No one among the others can talk about the topic of the God of Vengeance calmly; no one can make their position clear early.

This is just like how Yu Ci avoided expressing his position directly, and Mrs. Xia just smiled in response - it's the same reason.

At this time, Luo Yuniang entered the hall to refill the tea for the two of them. Seeing the delicate atmosphere, she rarely took the initiative to speak in front of Xue Pingzhi:

"If we continue chatting, it will be daybreak. Doesn't Tianjun still need to diagnose and treat Master?"

Yu Ci knew what she meant and smiled: "That's exactly what it should be..."

"Wait a moment!"

Yu Ci was slightly startled when she saw Xue Pingzhi standing up: "If we want to diagnose and treat him, we can't do it here."

Luo Yuniang reacted first: "It's my disciple who got distracted. Let's activate the formation now."

She was also worried that Yu Ci would not understand, so she further explained: "Master has been using the 'melting pot' given by Tianjun to suppress the seven emotions for many years. Once he lets go, there will always be some trouble, so he must make some preparations in advance."

When Yu Cizheng nodded, Xue Pingzhi said: "The formation is not perfect... How about I go out and find a suitable place with my fellow Taoists?"

Obviously, Xue Pingzhi had other plans, how could Yu Ci refuse?

"Let Yuanjun arrange it... Where to go?"

"Didn't Mrs. Xia just invite Taoist friends to inspect it? Let's just go there."

"Uh, Death Star?"

Yu Ci didn’t understand why he wanted to move there, but since he had agreed, there was no reason to go back on his words.

Xue Pingzhi also had the temperament to do what he said. He stood up immediately and invited Yu Ci to go with him, leaving Luo Yuniang behind.

Yu Ci smiled bitterly, exchanged glances with Luo Yuniang, and left with Xue Pingzhi.

Both of them were walking very fast, but within a matter of seconds, they had already left the area covered by the "Three Yuan Secret Array", which meant they had left Xiyu Lake.

As soon as he came out of the secret formation, the divine will that had been suppressed for a long time was immediately released, roaring out like a floodgate opening.

Yu Ci is proficient in the art of divine will jumps. When he senses something is wrong, he instinctively jumps several times in succession. Through different mediums of the laws of heaven and earth, the impact is eliminated, and the divine will expands, like clouds rolling and relaxing, silently. No breath, no smoke or smoke.

Xue Pingzhi, on the other hand, sounded gloomy and thunderous outside, and his control was somewhat lacking.

Yu Ci frowned. It should not be placed at the level of the Great Tribulation Master.

Obviously, even though Xue Pingzhi had the "Melting Furnace Mind Technique" to protect her body and suppress the problem of "seven emotional perversions" in recent years, the root cause has not been solved, which has affected the destiny of her gods and made Yu Ci treat her now. It is quite doubtful that they have some fighting strength, and their expectations of joining forces have been lowered.

He is not a philistine, but when facing a powerful person like the Rakshasa Ghost King, everything else can be done. Only in terms of spiritual cultivation, emotion and will, you must not be careless at all, otherwise, you will be obliterated in an instant. Does it make sense to be an ally?

Xue Pingzhi's face was calm, and she did not react too obviously due to the lack just now and Yu Ci's attention, which showed that she was prepared.

The specific situation depends on the diagnosis and treatment.

Then again, as a member of the Shangqing lineage, Yu Ci is now embarrassed. He doesn't know better than Xue Pingzhi. Where is the entrance to the Death Star? Xue Pingzhi can only lead him all the way. OK.

Flying more than three thousand miles to the northwest, Yu Ci's divine senses naturally spread out and finally locked onto the target.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter. Calculated, the journey from Xue Pingzhi's residence in the middle of Xiyu Lake took about half an hour, and they did not mention it on purpose.

If we set the starting point close to Hongya City on the north bank of Xiyu Lake, and then rush on the road with all our strength, the time will be shortened, which is really very convenient.

While sensing, Yu Ci listened to Xue Pingzhi's introduction to the current situation of the Death Star's void tunnel.

The corridor is located in an abandoned mining area on the 6th floor. It has shifted hundreds of miles compared to the time of the Qing Dynasty. It is these hundreds of miles that show the changes in the structure of the void in the true world during the great catastrophe of heaven and earth. The mystery inside is difficult to explain accurately, even for someone as proficient in the magical power of the void as Yu Ci.

What cannot be ignored is that any void tunnel will pose a threat to the structure of the true world and the laws of heaven and earth. Not to mention the consequences of the collision between the Land of Eternal Fall and the true world in the sky above the Northern Wasteland. It’s all still right in front of you.

As soon as the corridor was discovered, the Xiyu League also set up a ban here and arranged for people to guard it, which was also the right thing to do.

As for the clearly visible collection of "tolls", that is on another level.

"There are so many people..."

Yu Ci was a little surprised. Hearing is one thing, seeing is another. As far as he could see, in this supposedly desolate abandoned mining area, there were actually more than 40 Buxu and Changshengzhong people. Under the guidance of the guards of the Xiyu League, they registered and paid tolls and taxes in order.

This is what he saw. How many of those have passed before?

Of course, when they see him coming, the guards here will never dare to ask for tolls or anything like that. Not only do they not dare to ask for it, they also come over to explain.

Information is transmitted the fastest within the Xiyu League. At this moment, the person in charge of all relevant and critical areas has Yu Ci's photo in his hands.

The person in charge here screamed in pain, but had to fly up and say hello to Yu Ci.

"The Heavenly Lord Yuanxu is above, please accept my obeisance from me."

The person who came here was so generous. If he hadn’t flown into the air, he would have really bowed down.

Yu Ci glanced at him and saw that this person was in the Buxu realm, with a long face and a slightly thin face, a shrewd look on his face, and combined with the flattering smile on his face, he looked like a typical businessman.

For such a guy, whether he is flattery or a philistine, it is the best protective color.

Generally speaking, strong men with status are too lazy to argue with such people.

"The villain Yang De is a temporary guard arranged by the alliance, and he can be regarded as standing guard for you in advance... Speaking of which, the villain's aunt once served as a guard under Xie Kangling of the Shangqing Sect. Maid, it is such a great opportunity and blessing to be able to serve you again."

This Yang De dares to say anything and can get close to him.

Yu Ci didn't want to talk to this man at first, but he was surprised to hear that there was such a relationship and nodded: "You came to see Heiji Yuan-kun."

Yang De was immediately startled: "Oh, it's Empress Xue... I'm sorry for my shortsightedness, but the empress has been living in seclusion in recent years, and the elixirs have become more and more precious, but even the little ones have no chance to see the beauty. Forgive me.”

Yu Ci confirmed that this person’s ability to flatter someone is truly top-notch.

What was even more unexpected was that Xue Pingzhi, who had always been arrogant, actually started talking to Yang De:

"Xie Kangling has four maids named "Wind and Rain Ruhui", who is your aunt?"

Hearing this, Yang De's face lit up: "Your Majesty, I know that the villain's aunt has a single name with the word 'ru'. When the Shangqing Dynasty was robbed, my aunt also died in it. Our Cheng family is full of people. I am filled with regret, now I see the power of the Heavenly King again, villain, villain..."

Yu Ci was stunned when she saw Yang De crying whenever he asked.

Xue Pingzhi looked back and saw Yu Ci's expression, knowing that he did not understand the relationship, so he woke up and said: "Xie Kangling, Tianzong, used all his talents to obtain Zhu Taiyi's true biography, but it is a pity that he died young; however, Tianjun is still better than him . If Zhu Taiyiquan knows this, he will be happy to know that his descendants are like this."

Only then did Yu Ci realize that Xie Kangling was actually a disciple of Mr. Zhu.

This is really not an outsider!

Although I don’t know what that senior brother looks like, I can tell one or two things from the current situation:

It is not difficult to become famous all over the world with the support of Shangqing Sect; but it is really remarkable that even the maidservants under him can gain Xue Pingzhi's discernment.

Yu Ci let out a long sigh, and he knew the whole thing at a glance. The evil calamity of the Qing Dynasty had destroyed so many unparalleled talents!

At this time, when he looked at Yang De again, his eyes were naturally different and his standards were also different.

Looking up and down again, I unexpectedly found that although this person has some soft bones, his foundation is solid and solid, and he is an authentic Taoist disciple. If there is no special opportunity, under his flattering appearance, his ambition is I'm afraid it's stronger than most people.

Thinking about the decline of talents in the Shangqing Sect, Yu Ci couldn't help but think:

"Who are you worshiping now?"

People like Yang De are obedient and the most astute. Hearing these words, his body trembled suddenly, his heart surged with ecstasy, his knees softened, and he knelt directly in the void:

"Tianjun Mingjian, the Yang family where the villain lives is originally an independent family. After establishing the family for nearly two calamities, the family's bloodline has always been worshiped by the Shangqing and Siming sects."

Actually, this was not the answer to the question, but Yu Ci still understood the general meaning.

"You don't have a disciple now?"

Yang De was really crying now: "Although I was born in the Shangqing Demon Tribulation, since I was born, I have been preparing to join the Shangqing Sect. I have been practicing Shangqing Sect since I was a child. Although Qing Yimai's Qi Method and Dan Jue encountered many changes later, he did not become a disciple of another school. He just affiliated himself with Sanxi Hall and did some small business. Now that he had no property, he separated from his master's family. There was a fight within the Xiyu Alliance to be treated as a 'high-level' person..."

In the Sanhu area of ​​​​Beidi, there are indeed some descendants of aristocratic families who have become vassals with the support of the great clan. Yang De's family may be one of them. However, it is not easy for this family to have good relations with both Shangqing and Siming sects at the same time, and its monks can even be admitted to the Sanxi Hall.

Yang De's thoughts are completely unconcealed, and if what this person says is true, it really has some cultivation value.

Of course Yu Ci will not express his position immediately.

Now he understands how complicated and tight the various hidden relationships within the Jade Cleansing Alliance are. It's like the intertwined branches, leaves, vines and spider webs in the forest. As long as you move forward and clear one place, there is another place waiting. Sometimes when you look back, you will find that those chaotic branches and vines have appeared again. grew, obscuring the path.

A little person like Yang De can actually be responsible here, and he happens to be related to the Shangqing Sect. If there are no twists and turns, no one would believe it.

Looking at the bright side, this is a way to avoid suspicion or show goodwill; it shows that the Xiyu League uses people from the Shangqing sect to manage the land of the Shangqing sect.

If you think about the worst, this can also be regarded as "burying a nail". It does not refer to Yang De. This person's changes in mood cannot be concealed from him, and that is the Yang family behind it...

In the end, Yu Ci just said to Yang De, "Do a good job", and then walked to the void corridor with Xue Pingzhi.

Yang Dechu was a little disappointed at first, but he soon cheered up. When he flew down, he saw the arrogant generals under his command and the monks queuing up to register. There was clearly a change in the way they looked at him. .

He smiled and ignored her, wiped away the traces of tears, raised his voice, and directed his men to do things.

As for what other people think and do, I don’t bother to care.

Soon, news such as "Tianjun Yuanxu entered the outer realm through the Death Star Tunnel" spread throughout Xiyu Lake inside and outside like birds flying everywhere.

Neither Yu Ci nor Xue Pingzhi cared about what happened next, but Yu Ci was a little curious about the "Yang family" where Yang De was, so he asked.

Xue Pingzhi really knows: "The Yang family in Lubei is indeed a well-known family in the north. What Yang De said is true. There is also a strong man in his family who is very famous now. Taoist friends should know ”

"Who?"

"The contemporary leader of the Siming Sect, Yang Zhu."

As expected, Yu Ci knew that he had met him several times before, but had never interacted with him in depth.

"However, the Yang family spread its branches and separated its direct descendants and concubines. It is said that Yang Zhu was not very close to his master's family, but the foundation of the Yang family in the Siming Sect was established, just like in the Shangqing Dynasty. Same thing."

While they were talking, the two of them had already entered the entrance of the Void Tunnel. The corridor was modified and overlapped with a certain mine. The two of them stepped forward under the cautious, awe and curious eyes of the monks around them.

For Yu Ci, a feeling that seemed familiar yet unfamiliar rushed over her.

Yu Ci once had the experience of entering the Void Tunnel. When Donghua Void was on the verge of destruction, he entered the Biluo Heavenly Palace imitated by Mrs. Huangquan;

He also had experience in the "Nine Heavens Outer Territory", which was earlier. When he was in the Sword Garden, he was escorted by Xing Tian for a short trip.

As for the various experiences of entering the star orbit and moving back to the palace, even if it is not too real.

Yu Ci has also thought about the situation of officially landing in the outer realm - maybe with a few friends and comrades, they will travel through the Nine Heavens Gangfeng and the Blue Sky Realm. After a long journey, they will fight against thousands of outer realm demons. , entering that mysterious and dangerous area.

He never thought that his first landing in the strict sense would be under such circumstances.

The "length" of the Void Tunnel is much shorter than that of Donghua Void, which means it takes two blinks, or in other words, "time" in the conventional sense has entered a special state.

As Yu Cizheng was savoring it, he suddenly stepped into nothingness.

The dark, yet bright world was already unfolding before his eyes.

The so-called "darkness" is the background of the entire world, which is full of crises.

The magical power of the void operates on its own, isolating the harsh environment from the outside world and forming its own realm.

But this action did not block any light, making all the billions of shining stars in the vast void fall into his eyes.

In an instant, the heart that had been a little tight because of the deep undercurrent of the Xiyu Alliance was bursting open under the endless starlight!

Yu Ci took a deep breath - in fact, what he breathed was still the air from his own world, but this did not prevent his suddenly broadened mind from absorbing as much of this bright light as possible.

Xue Pingzhi was going to go further and saw Yu Ci's current state, which was a little strange, but he soon came to his senses:

"First time here?"

"Yeah...it's the first time."

Nowadays, Yu Ci will never hide his feelings. He even opened his arms and wanted to hug the bright stars, but in the end, the endless stars "embraced" him.

The only pity is that this "embrace" is too cold and empty, making people feel the ultimate grandeur and insignificance.

It was under this feeling that Yu Ci got out of the excitement of "coming to a precious place for the first time" and regained his composure.

Xue Pingzhi was smiling at him. Here, the female cultivator seemed to have a more relaxed temperament...

It doesn’t seem like it, Yu Ci confirmed that the flow and change of emotions are far more obvious than in the real world.

Xue Pingzhi met his eyes and pursed his lips again with a smile: "Although there are some people in various sects who use the sect's resources to skip the step of studying outside the territory to learn the true essence, and go straight to immortality. But Most of them are people who specialize in alchemy and weapon making, and others like the second generation ancestor are really rare."

"Ha, it's also a coincidence..."

Yu Ci knew that he had skipped the stage of pure xuanzhen and reached the current state. In fact, the Tianyuan natal golden talisman itself has the magic of reaching immortality. In the process of his practice, he also developed the secret of Jina Xuanzhen. A true secret.

What’s more important is that in Donghua Mountain, a land of multiple void distortions for more than ten years, the complex void environment is also partly connected to the outside world, and those who have advanced by means of Xuanzhen Condensing Pill and other methods have even become illusory. Monk, there is something different.

The two of them did not waste their energy on this matter. Yu Ci looked around and saw that the outer starry sky was too vast. The starlight was so chaotic that he could not see where the Death Star was.

If someone knew about it, they would inevitably be ridiculed again.

Xue Pingzhi did not laugh at him again, but led the way first and explained: "I have been here several times when the Qing Dynasty was at its peak. The Death Star itself is not only light, but its main structure is made of a light-absorbing metal, so It's hard to see. The Shangqing Sect relied on the stars to create a defensive formation called the "Qingsha Spiritual Barrier" to resist the demons and evil creatures outside the territory. It is much more beautiful than the "Death Star" itself. "

After a pause, Xue Pingzhi shook his head, somewhat puzzled: "Didn't Master Zhu Taiyi and Master Housheng mention this to fellow Taoists?"

Yu Ci laughed, watching Xue Pingzhi move his hand forward, invisible waves swept across, and a thin translucent wall appeared dozens of miles away, but there was still nothing behind it.

Yu Ci could probably tell that this was an illusory array created using contrast between light and dark. What was inside was unknown.

Xue Pingzhi did not continue, he just said hello to let the monks in the confinement know that someone was coming so they could respond.

Not long after, as the two of them were sensing each other, a portal opened in the starry sky. It was impossible to see it and could only be sensed through divine will. When the two of them entered together, it felt like they had passed through a layer of water, and then the colors in front of them instantly became richer.

Is this the Death Star? Yu Ci didn't know how to describe it for a moment.

Entering the forbidden area, the first thing he saw was not a Death Star or a living star, but layers of forbidden auras, like gauze curtains, held up by invisible "brackets" to form A circular cage-like structure.

Each layer of "gauze curtains" is always dotted with large and small "hanging ornaments". From a distance, it looks like a bird's nest under the eaves, which is very unique.

According to Xue Pingzhi, it was the residence of monks who came to practice in the outside world, and it was also the provider of the energy of the "gauze spiritual barrier".

"The diameter of the outermost 'gauze curtain' is more than a thousand miles, and there are eleven layers below, but it seems that only two or three layers can be held up. It is much worse than it was in its heyday."

Being outside the territory, people must be extremely vigilant. Seeing people coming again, the monks who had already "settled" in the gauze-manted bird's nest came forward one after another.

Information passed between them very quickly. They probably understood the identities of Yu and Xue, and knew that they were masters who could not be offended. Some of them shrank back, while others wanted to get closer and get close. However, the strong spiritual pressure outside Yu and Xue's body did not look too kind. For a while, no one came forward.

Yu Ci stretched his mind and turned around inside and outside the spiritual barrier. He found that most of the people here were Buxu monks, and there were very few immortals.

It is worth mentioning that the sights projected by these people are relatively complicated.

Xue Pingzhi whispered from the side: "Near the Death Star, monks Buxu mainly live here. These people need a stable and safe environment to practice. As for the immortals, they need more experience and adventure, but Just treat this place as a transit point.”

Just as he was talking, figures appeared one after another in the void behind him. They were the monks who had just finished registration and paid the "toll".

Seeing the backs of Yu and Xue, they consciously walked around, but their eyes always drifted towards them.

Yu Ci could feel that the meaning in these people's eyes was almost the same as that of the monks who had "settled" inside and outside the spiritual barrier.

He said softly, "Hey". In this alien starry sky, his emotional powers still worked well. His inner lake was like a mirror, reflecting all the subtle emotions of people in it.
