Chapter 331 Asking about Immortality

Master Suo left in a very casual manner, with a feeling of leaving with nothing to show for his achievements and fame.

But I am not so relaxed...

Is the Heavenly Official he mentioned the same person as the last ferryman? !

The most important thing is that the other party, across the long river of time, actually pointed directly to the present. Who else could he be talking about except me? The lineage of the Liguan has been passed down from one generation to my father, and the population is very sparse. I don't think my father has any other women outside, and it is impossible for him to have other heirs!

But I don't know anything about it. There are so many classics and records left by our ancestors. I have read them since I was a child. I am very sure that there is no record that mentions this matter, not even a word! !

Isn't this weird?

He saw me and was waiting for me. What exactly does he want to do? !

There are too many questions. These questions and mysteries are like resentful ghosts and ghosts that haunt me. The joy of getting the second Earth Spirit Pearl just now was hit without a trace.

My master was no less shocked than I was. Old Man Li concealed the words of the previous generation of ferrymen. He knew it no earlier than me, but his mood was much better than mine. He soon calmed down and suddenly turned his head to look at Wushuang. Wushuang had always been in awe of my master. When he was looked at by him, he immediately shuddered. Seeing this, my master's originally stern eyes softened a little and asked in a low voice: "Not many people know about this, your old slave is one of them. As far as I know, the Tianmeng has always been indifferent to ferrymen. Why are they so friendly to you? They even came to my door in person and hoped that I would teach you. I want to know what price your old slave paid for the protection of the Tianmeng? Has he informed the Tianmeng about this?"

Wushuang was not good at speaking, his face flushed red, and he wanted to argue a few words, but he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, I gently pushed my master, asking him not to be so strict, and then comforted Wushuang a few words. Wushuang then entangled the corner of his clothes, pursed his lips and whispered: "Grandpa said that the Tianmeng subdued many Xuanmen with violent means, and the ferryman was naturally on their list. But they couldn't find our roots, so they had to give up. This is why they look down on us. This time they suddenly appeared, and what they want most is a situation where everyone is united. The ferryman who had never been able to subdue has been under their command, and they are naturally very happy!"

After a little explanation, the child may have felt that my master did not trust him, so he was a little excited, and tremblingly said: "Don't worry that I will betray Brother Jingzhe. Grandpa is gone. He is the only person in the world who treats me well. You will not treat me like him. Even if it means selling my own life, I will not sell out Yaozi. Heaven and earth can bear witness!!"

Seeing his excitement, my master smiled and said nothing more. He just nodded and turned to me, saying, "The Heavenly Alliance is interested in the 36 countries overseas. When we go back this time, they will inevitably ask us about it. Remember, you must not tell the Heavenly Alliance about this matter!!"

Lao Bai asked, "You don't trust them?"

My master said indifferently, "We have never been close friends, so how can we trust each other! The Heavenly Alliance has always been treacherous and violent. No one knows what they want to do. Whenever there is a chaos between yin and yang, they will definitely come out and stir up trouble. Although what they do seems to be subduing demons, in fact, the number of Xuanmen people who died in their hands is far greater than the number of evil demons they killed. If it weren't for the last bit of incense for my Qingwei Dao and the Liguan sect, I would never go along with them!"

"Are you worried that after they know about this, it will be bad for Jingzhe and lead to the Heavenly Official?"

Brother Yaozi seemed to be thinking about something, and said softly: "If there is really a celestial official in this world, and he saw Jingzhe, he must be Jingzhe's biggest backer. We have heard of killing fathers and mothers, but we have never heard of tigers eating their children. This is the truth! If the Heavenly Alliance uses Jingzhe as bait, the celestial official may really come out!"

"That's false, and he came out for Jingzhe..."

Zhang Xinya sneered, "If there really is a Heavenly Official in existence, he must have lived before the Five Barbarians invaded China. Jingzhe is his descendant. Aren't his father and grandfather his descendants? However, looking back at the past, how much blood and tears have been shed by the Liguan family? They were killed by emperors and generals, buried alive for them, and plundered by corpses, ghosts, and demons. If he really has his own descendants in his eyes, why doesn't he take action? A Heavenly Official, how terrible would it be if he took action? It wouldn't be a problem for him to kill seven times in the underworld? But he didn't!! Why didn't he take action for Jingzhe when other descendants were killed? In my opinion, this Heavenly Official is the first person to be on guard against!!"

"Different."

My master sighed and said, "The blood and tears of the Liguan family are karma. They have done too many things that offended the heaven and they have to be settled. This is karma, the way of heaven, and it is not something that a heavenly official can reverse. This heavenly official cannot be unaware of this. When he came to Jingzhe, his ancestors had already washed everything clean with blood, and he found a way out. You can understand the words of the heavenly official in this way. Rather than waiting for Jingzhe, it is better to say that he is... waiting for the day when their Liguan family regains freedom!!"

They were discussing the evil in this world, but I was not thinking about these. Now that the crisis has finally been resolved, I took the opportunity to ask my master: "Whether it is old man Li or Lord Suo in the underworld, when they talked about my ancestor, they used the word "alive" instead of other words. In other words, he is a real living person, but... can anyone really live for thousands of years? This is too unrealistic. If people could really achieve this, the world would still be ruled by the First Emperor, and the whole world would be unified..."

"The First Emperor was a great and capable emperor, but he might not be destined to live forever."

My master laughed and said, "People who practice cultivation are originally against the will of heaven and are undergoing a transformation from mortal to immortal. Whether it is the Qigong practitioners in the pre-Qin period or the later Xuanmen schools, they are all fundamentally the same, seeking transcendence in this aspect. People only live for a hundred years, but immortals live forever! Theoretically, if some practitioners really go very far, then... they can really live for a very long time! ! "

"Thousands of years..."

I covered my forehead and groaned, saying, "If he really lived that long, how powerful would he be now?"

"It's hard to say..."

My master said, "Do you know why people in the world can't tolerate ritual officials? Because the Ceremony Official can make people unable to live or die, and most importantly, the Ceremony Official has accumulated a lot of experience. Once he reaches the level of the Heavenly Official, he will be much more powerful and fierce than the ordinary Heavenly Master. If that Heavenly Official really lived for thousands of years instead of using other shady means, then he would probably be invincible now. Even the legendary leader of the Heavenly Alliance may not be his opponent! "

This was the first time we heard my master talk about the profound issues of the path of cultivation. It was like listening to the teachings of a sage. Not only me, but also Lao Bai Wushuang and the others listened very seriously.

But when it came to the end, my master sighed softly, with a bleak face, and didn't want to continue. He just said that looking up at the sky, one knows how small people are, looking down at the earth, one knows how short youth is, and looking at the distant path of cultivation, one knows what is endless...

We didn't ask too much, so we could only pack up our things in a hurry and then set off on our way home.

We had previously inferred that this underwater ruins is very likely to have another secret passage, which leads directly to the surface. The people of the Di people country dug all the way from there to here, and then built this ruins.

Fortunately, Shunzi found this secret passage!!

This secret passage is in the main tomb chamber, to be precise, it is under the Fangzi coffin in the main tomb chamber. After the corpse came out, my master was only concerned with fighting with it and did not check the Fangzi coffin at all. Instead, when my master was meditating to recover, Shunzi was trapped in the main tomb chamber and was bored. He wandered around and found a dark and deep secret passage under the Fangzi coffin!

Although Shunzi did not walk through it himself, I can't think of any other secret passage in the main tomb chamber except the way to leave here! !

Soon, we found the secret passage.

The secret passage is tilted downward, and the end cannot be seen at a glance.

Lao Bai didn't want to stay in this place for a long time, and immediately jumped in.

However, Wushuang stopped for a long time, looking back from time to time.

I know that he might have thought of Old Man Li. After Old Man Li led the Zombie King away, he disappeared. My master didn't see him when he killed the Zombie King. There was no news of him at all. No one saw him alive, and no one saw him dead...

I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of how he could survive in that situation. So I patted Wushuang on the shoulder and sighed and said that when we go back, we can build a tomb of his old clothes on the Zhenwu Temple Mountain. I will arrange it myself. Maybe I can find something through the tomb of his clothes...

After hearing this, Wushuang could only nod and crawl in with me.

This is the longest secret passage I have ever walked through. At the beginning, this secret passage went down, and then it started to go up again at the end. The whole passage was in the shape of a "U". I am afraid it is several kilometers long. When we walked to the middle, we even felt a little short of oxygen. It took us nearly half a day to climb out with difficulty!

There were no relics at the exit. Looking around, there was only the endless sea...

We saw the blue sky, which meant we had finally reached the surface, but... the sea around us told us that this was an isolated island with no one living on it!!

Lao Bai was the first to come out. He was cheering at first, but after seeing the surroundings clearly, he sat down and sighed with a pale face: "We... are trapped here..."
