Chapter 2 Underworld

Spring goes back and spring returns, and ten years will pass in the blink of an eye.

In a corner of the East China Sea, there is a cave built for cold white jade. At a close look, it is exactly the same as the one where the Virgin Mary lived in the West Sea!

The cave is not big, with two front and back. Moving forward a little bigger, there is a flat card on the door, which is written in ancient and traditional documents: "Youjue to the Qing Palace". The words are powerful but strong and soft. When they get closer, a wave of famine comes to the face, moving forward to the living room, and the back is the house.

The cave is backed by the mountain, and the hill is made of coral reefs. There are many stone caves on the mountain, surrounded by crystal jade corals. The mountain is full of fairy spirit and illusory.

In the front yard, there is a lake jade pool in the courtyard. The pool is surrounded by clouds and steaming, and this white jade round table is located beside it. Xuanqing sat at the table, holding a teacup in his white jade-like hand and did not drink, but quietly looked at the stubborn man in front of him, a twelve- or three-year-old teenager, who was Xuanming.

Xuanming squeezed his lips, stared at Xuanqing with wide eyes, and repeated, "I'm going out!"

Huh? Where are you going out? Xuanqing raised his eyebrows and asked.

A soft sentence made the little Xuanming have nothing to say. He, who has never been out of the East China Sea, knows where else to go besides the East China Sea? They often listen to the trivial words of those servants and know something, but how much do they know about the outside?

"I have my own place to go!" Xuan Ming smiled bitterly and frowned at Xuanqing.

When I think of the unknown and hazy world outside the East China Sea, there is a faint call from the depths of my heart, which is the sound of yearning...

When did it start? Probably inadvertently, the interest accumulated from the words of shrimp soldiers and crabs; or has it already lost interest in this vast seabed? Or--

Have you been yearning for it from the beginning?

Unfortunately, Xuanqing has not allowed him to leave the East China Sea for ten years. Why is that? Xuanming didn't understand.

"No." Xuanqing put down the teacup and said lightly. The answer is not as expected by Xuan Ming.

"Why on earth?" Xuan Ming frowned and was not angry about being rejected again and again. I just looked at Xuanqing and frowned and said, "I want to know why!"

"There is no reason." Xuan Qing answered faintly, looked up at Xuan Ming, frowned and said coldly, "It's not what we should go outside. Just stay here. Don't mess around!"

Xuan Ming frowned and was silent. But there is some care in my heart. Xuan Ming is very puzzled about Xuanqing's behavior of imprisoning him and preventing him from contacting the outside world in the past ten years. But he also knew that Xuanqing really loved him and was good to him. Therefore, I never resented her and just wanted to find a way out.

He must go out! Although as Xuanqing said, he didn't know where to go when he went out.

Xuanming's eyes turned around, and he said aggrievedly to Xuanqing, "Ao Ye can go out, why can't I?"

Ao Ye, the tenth son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, likes to come to Xuanqing Palace to chat with Xuanming and learn from each other every time. Xuanming envied him for having a teacher outside and could leave the East China Sea at any time.

Hearing this, Xuan Qingfeng narrowed her eyes and shouted fiercely, "Ao Ye? Why don't you see where that boy Ao Ye has gone?

"I..." Xuan Mingnuo was speechless. Indeed, his Taoism is worse than that of Ao Ye.

"Forget it. Lingqing, take the young master into the underworld!" Xuanqing said slowly.

"Yes!" A girl came out of the house with a crisp sound like a warbler. This is a green snake that has been cultivated to Dacheng and has been able to take shape. Lingqing encountered a three-nine-day disaster and failed in Dacheng, and was rescued by Xuanqing and brought back to the East China Sea. Look at this woman's tall, convex and concave, soft and boneless, and a pair of charming eyes flashing with silver cold light, which shows the characteristics of the snake vividly.

"No! Our Lady, I'm not going!" Xuanming turned pale and suddenly raised his head and shook his head.

"No!" Xuanqing's cold and resolute voice slowly exhaled: "If you don't want to make progress, how can you make progress if you don't enter the underworld? Don't come out until you reach the seventh floor.

"Well, I've practiced. Can you get out of here?" Xuan Ming's eyes flashed and looked at Xuanqing.

"As long as you get to the seventh floor, I can take you out!" Seeing Xuanming's eager appearance, Xuanqing sighed reluctantly, softened his breath and comforted him. Don't you want to go out? As long as you can practice to seven layers in ten years, I can take you outside to have a look.

"Okay, let's make a deal!" Xuan Ming thought for a moment, clenched his fist and nodded.

Ten years of cultivation reached the seventh floor, which is not difficult for him. The most important thing is to be able to get out!

Xuan Ming gritted his teeth and squeezed his lips, and his heart was secretly happy. Seeing Xuanqing nodding, he looked like death and followed Lingqing to the underworld.

I don't know what Xuan Ming thinks. Xuanqing looked at him far away, and his eyes flashed deeply. He sighed silently, "Don't blame me for forcing you. There is not enough Taoism. I'm afraid it's dangerous for you to go out."

Saying this, she looked up at the west again and sighed, "Brother, Ming'er has grown up. It seems that I was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to go out. But I really don't dare! I'm scared, really scared. If it happened again, I don't know what would happen..."

The reef mountain behind the cave, there is a cave on the mountainside, next to the stone tablet, written: "Underworld".

The hole is not big and only one person can pass through. Looking in from the mouth of the cave, you can only see three feet ahead, and it is dark in the back. The aisle is long and winding.

The whole underworld is quiet, so quiet that people have a feeling that there is only one left in the world. Three feet further, a cold wind blows from time to time on the gloomy aisle. Every time the wind blows, there will always be some debris falling from the walls on both sides, mixed with the sound of "kaka", which is the sound of the wall being frozen and cracked alive. The cold wind sweeps by, and a layer of frost appears on the aisle.

If so, it's okay, but every time after the cold wind, there will be a hot wind. The hot wind is hot, and wherever it passes, there will always bring a hot fog, forming a fiery red whirlwind with stone debris. Such a cycle is endless. People can't help but ask, how could this cave not collapse under this extreme hot and cold alternation?

At the mouth of the cave, the snake demon Lingqing bent down and touched Xuanming's head pitifully, spit out his tongue and said, "Young master, Lingqing won't go in. The hot wind inside will blow me." Lingqing is a water demon, and her Taoism is not high. This extremely hot wind is still untouchable.

"What a horror! Lingqing..." Xuanming glanced at the underworld and only felt that his whole body was extremely hot. He was beaten by Lingqing, swallowed his foam, and said, "This hot wind will directly turn me into water vapor!"

This is pathetic! Lingqing smiled and said, "No, no, how can it become water vapor? When it's hot, you can clean up. All right, let's go!"

Operation is clear? Xuan Ming suddenly looked up at Lingqing and frowned, "Really? How do you know?"

"Is the nature of Shangqing's skills cold?" Lingqing's narrow snake eyes narrowed slightly, pinched Xuan Ming's cheek, ** said. Xuan Ming nodded. She smiled and said, "That's it! The operation is clean and decisive, and the cold air is self-contained. Can't you resist the hot wind?

Xuan Ming was puzzled, restrained his eyes and said, "Well, why didn't I hear what the Virgin Mary said?"

"Good boy, are you doubting me?" Lingqing bent down and pinched Xuan Ming's pale face fiercely.

Xuanming was in pain and knew that he was provoking this vicious woman again. He hurriedly smiled and said, "I dare not, dare not."

"Well, the Virgin Mary didn't say that she had always been old-fashioned and profound. Naturally, she didn't need to do this, so she didn't expect to tell you this. Your sister is kind to mention a few words to you, but you are suspicious and suspicious of me! If you doubt it, you can go in and have a try!" Lingqing hummed coldly unconvinced.

"No, no. Then, I'll go in first." Xuan Ming stepped back a few steps in fear, avoided the demonic jade hand, smiled hippie, waved his hand to Ling Qing, and walked up to the entrance of the cave.

Lingqing, who was guarding at the mouth of the cave, looked at Xuanming's obedient operation. On her face, which was originally smiling, gradually became cold.

"Well, you little boy, don't blame my sister for being cruel." 'At this time, the cold air inhaled is a kind of * for you..."

Thinking of this, Lingqing's pupils shrank slightly and said proudly, "Not even your Virgin Mary can perceive it*."

Xuanming walked down the aisle, and his body was slowly running. He didn't find anything wrong, so he began to absorb the cold wind as much as possible, * the hot wind. However, despite the protection of the humble coldness in the decision, it is still sweating like rain.

All the way down, there is still a dark paint in front of the nine bends and eighteen bends, and there is no end in sight. The road was gloomy and the wind was continuous. The road became darker and darker, and Xuan Ming's little face became paler and paler. He couldn't help smiling bitterly. When he came here, the hot wind was so hot. When he got inside, it was strange that he really turned him into water vapor!

With alluring the sultry pain, he slowly walked in.

After a long time, I finally arrived at a fork in a fork. There is a prohibition in front of the road, like a grid overlapping. The five lights are flashing and the waves are full of light, but it still can't lock the dark inside. Sen Sen's cold air came out of the net and came to his face, even the layers of prohibition could not be sealed.

There is a sheep intestine path on the left and right. Standing in the middle of the road, you can deeply feel three very different breaths. The front is full of gloomy, while on the left is a suffocating heat wave, and on the right is a knife-like cold wind.
