One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 254: 254: The Will of Nihilism

The threshing ground is a place specially used for drying spiritual grains. Of course, some activities are also held here, such as offering sacrifices to heaven, ancestors, and gods, etc. Of course, when some families want to recruit people, they will also set up flags or post notices here.

Moreover, every noble family has such a place.

This area belongs to the Zheng family's home turf. People here are all close to the Zheng family. They have all received favors from the Zheng family to some extent and are all people the Zheng family knows well. Even if outsiders settle here, they have all been watched by the local headman for many years. If the outsiders' background is unknown, the Zheng family will definitely not accept them when recruiting.

Jing Jing is not from Luocheng, but she has lived here for many years and has been doing business in this area over the years, so everyone knows her background.

The three brothers of the Tie family were also independent cultivators who settled here, but they served as the liaisons between the Zheng family and the independent cultivators.

Tie Da is an experienced foundation-building cultivator, who is only one step away from achieving full power.

He walked in front, Jing Jing followed behind, and behind them were Tie's other brothers.

"Jing Jing, you have been here in Xianghe for many years. You should know that when the Zheng family needs people, everyone should report to the Zheng family first. Now the Third Young Master is recruiting people and needs manpower. If you say you don't want to go to the Nether Prison, that's fine, but you refuse the Third Young Master's place and go to the Nether Prison with others. This is breaking the rules. This is not giving face to the Third Young Master and the Zheng family."

Jing Jing followed behind him. She didn't think about these things at first, but after Tie Da finished speaking, she felt that this matter might not end well.

Jing Jing thought about it, but couldn't find a better wording for a moment.

All the way to Xiaguang Temple.

The Xiaguang Temple is not big, and the incense on weekdays comes from people in Xiangheli. People who need fire talismans for protection will come here to buy them. Of course, some sacrificial lanterns are also bought here.

If there are sacrificial lanterns lit at home, minor monsters and evil spirits will not dare to invade the house.

Zhao Fuyun was in the temple, looking at the goddess Xihe, with Yang Xiao'e beside her. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Zhao Fuyun had a different aura. She herself was always in a state of boredom, emptiness, or anxiety.

But she felt that Zhao Fuyun would never have these things. He seemed to be thinking and feeling at all times, and he seemed to be experiencing the "sex" of everything he saw.

Especially now, when she looked at Zhao Fuyun standing in front of the goddess Xihe, she actually felt that Taoist Fuyun seemed to be communicating with the goddess.

"Tell me, where does all the holiness in the sky come from?" Zhao Fuyun suddenly asked.

Yang Xiao'e thought for a moment and said, "It is said in our Red Flame Sacred Scripture that the God was born before the heaven and earth, and he illuminated the universe, so all things grew, and then humans came into being..."

"Really? What about before Lord Chiyan appeared? What was the world like at that time? Was it dark? Or was it mysterious?" Zhao Fuyun asked again.

"I don't know." Yang Xiao'e answered blankly. She had never thought about it, or she had seen similar problems but never thought about them. In her opinion, everything was just meaningless and there was no need to think about them.

"The original form of the world may have been a void, a chaos, with nothing inside. Then the Red Flame Divine Lord and the gods of the heavens were slowly nurtured in it."

"Or maybe, after someone appeared, the thoughts of all living beings caused the gods to appear in the dark."

Yang Xiao'e was even more confused.

"They may be born from the yin and yang of heaven and earth, or they may be born from the will of all living things." Zhao Fuyun said: "So, all living things and all the gods in the heavens are born from nothingness."

"And we, born from nothingness, will eventually return to nothingness." Zhao Fuyun seemed to have realized something. Yang Xiao'e felt that he was standing there, but he had a feeling that he did not exist at all. He was just a ball of air, just a ray of light.

"Master?" Yang Xiao'e shouted worriedly.

Zhao Fuyun turned his head and looked at Yang Xiao'e with a smile. That smile was like the joy of harvest.

He turned around, looked at the sunlight coming in from outside, and stretched out his hand in the sunlight. Yang Xiao'e actually saw that his hand seemed to be transparent in the sunlight, and disappeared as soon as his hand entered the sunlight.

"Everything came from nothing to something, and then back to nothing again. Who can be sure that our existence is not just some delusion in the mind of some god?"

Yang Xiao'e saw Zhao Fuyun turn around again, and in a place without sunlight, he stretched out his fingers and wrote in the void.

Light overflowed from his fingers, forming red ink and entangled into words in the void.

"We come from nothingness and we will return to nothingness. Everything returns to nothingness."

At this point, he paused and wrote: "The great void has no form, the great void has no appearance."

At this moment, Zhao Fuyun seemed to see the statue of the Taoist Master Wu Shi in the Tiandu Mountain, the statue without a face.

However, Yang Xiao'e felt at this moment that not only did Zhao Fuyun exude an aura of 'nothingness', but the entire temple became mysterious.

The statue of the goddess Xihe, which had never exuded any magical power, was now emitting a layer of divine light.

It seemed as if Zhao Fuyun's words touched Him.

"Does Your Majesty also think that what I said makes sense?" Zhao Fuyun suddenly said.

Yang Xiao'e felt strange.

And the divine light on the goddess statue, at this moment, had slowly disappeared, blending with the Yayoi sense of "nothingness" in the entire temple. Yang Xiao'e even felt that if he didn't pay close attention, he wouldn't be able to see the statue.

at this time.

There were footsteps heard outside.

When Jing Jing and the three Tie brothers entered the Xiaguang Temple, they had an illusion that the whole temple seemed to have a mysterious feeling of non-existence.

They looked up at the statue of the goddess Xihe and actually felt that the statue seemed a little different today. In their understanding, no matter which temple the statue was in, as long as there were people worshipping and burning incense, as long as one entered the temple, there would be a feeling of magnificence and splendor, with an invisible and invisible aura emanating.

And now, here, there is actually a feeling of being sunk in a deep sea of fog. If you don’t pay special attention to look, it’s as if He doesn’t exist at all.

"Little moth." Jing Jing shouted out with some concern.

She walked into the temple, and the shadows under her feet disappeared as she walked into the temple.

The three Tie brothers also walked in.

"Little moth." Jing Jing shouted again.

"Where are the people?" Tie Laosan asked puzzledly.

At this time, a voice came from the shadows of the temple: "Sister Jing, we are here."

The voice was full of doubt, shock, confusion, and a hint of fear.

As Yang Xiao'e spoke, her figure also appeared in Jing Jing's eyes, and both of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Yang Xiao'e's sudden appearance gave Jing Jing a weird feeling.

Yang Xiao'e was even more surprised because she was just standing there and Sister Jing didn't see her.

At this time, Zhao Fuyun's figure also emerged from the void, like a simple figure painting in the darkness painted with color, and the Taoist robe on his body quickly became bright. The three brothers of the Tie family frowned when they saw this scene. They felt that this person suddenly became a little unfathomable, and even felt that he was not inferior to the third son of Zheng.

"Master Taoist, do you know where the fairyland is?" Tie Da asked. He decided to ask about the man's origins first.

Jing Jing and Yang Xiao'e also wanted to know, so they turned to look at Zhao Fuyun. Zhao Fuyun's eyes turned, and he glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "All living things in the world come from nothingness. Where is my hometown? I can't tell you clearly."

The three Tie brothers frowned and heard Zhao Fuyun continue to say, "All living things in the world came from nothingness and will sink into nothingness. Perhaps we are just a delusion of some sacred being."

At this time, Zhao Fuyun thought of his previous life. Everything those people said about the world was actually just a piece of data.

"What are you talking about?" Tieda became alert.

"We came from nothingness and will all return to nothingness?" said Zhao Fuyun.

"Nonsense." Although Tieda didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, his reason told him that he must object. His experience in dealing with weird things told him that he must never think in the direction of weird things. At this moment, in his subconscious, he had actually regarded Zhao Fuyun as some kind of weird existence.

A cultivator is also equivalent to a strange existence.

"Haha, no matter how you deny it, this is the fact."

As Zhao Fuyun finished speaking, a person suddenly appeared in front of them. It was Zhao Fuyun who was originally sitting there. Zhao Fuyun's hand had already patted his shoulder.

Then, his body became unable to move, as if he was being suppressed by a huge force.

He wanted to call out to his brothers behind him, but his mouth was no longer able to speak and he couldn't open his mouth. What he didn't know was that the two brothers behind him were also patted on the shoulders and were also unable to move or speak.

"Let's go." Zhao Fuyun waved to Yang Xiao'e and Jing Jing.

The two looked at each other, and Jing Jing couldn't help but say, "He, he, he, what should they do?"

"Don't worry about it. Let's go into the hell first." Zhao Fuyun stood in the sunlight at the temple door. The sunlight shone on him, but his body was shining with light and there was no shadow on the ground.

The two had a lot to say, but they still followed.

They didn't notice that they walked into the sunlight and had no shadows until they passed a crowded place and met someone they knew. They wanted to say hello, but found that the other person seemed not to have seen them at all.

I was surprised at first, but after meeting a few people, I realized that no one I knew had seen me.

“They can’t see me…” This is what they thought in their minds.

Full of surprise, the three of them came to a place.

The entrance to Hell.

The entrance to the Netherworld is somewhere underground, like the entrance to an underground palace.

There is a palace built on top of the underground palace, with two teams of soldiers stationed inside, they are Taoist soldiers.

Jing Jing wanted to speak, she was very scared, because she knew that there were people here who had the courage to break the hiddenness, and had the magic weapon to break the hiddenness, especially the "Heavenly Eye Treasure Mirror" hanging above the underground palace, which was said to be able to expose all hiddenness.

If anyone tries to sneak into the underground palace and is discovered, he will be imprisoned in the Luodu Prison.

If you are imprisoned in the prison and no one comes to help, you may be imprisoned for life. Moreover, if someone wants to practice some magic, the people in the prison will be taken out and become the test subjects of others' new magic.

Jing Jing wanted to remind them, but was afraid that her words would expose their invisibility. She was also afraid that Zhao Fuyun didn't know the power of the Sky Eye Mirror. In a panic, she reached out to grab Zhao Fuyun's clothes, but her hand missed and passed through Zhao Fuyun's body.

But Zhao Fuyun seemed to have sensed it. He turned around, put his finger to his mouth and made a gesture of silence.

Jing Jing stopped talking, but her heart was in turmoil. She came to the entrance of the palace, where there was a mirror that looked like an eye, shining brightly. However, Zhao Fuyun walked past it without any problem.

Jing Jing looked at the guards and felt worried. As her gaze fell on one of the people inside, that person seemed to sense something and immediately looked towards Jing Jing's position.

Jing Jing felt like her heart was about to jump out, but the man just frowned and looked back and forth at the place where she walked, but it seemed as if he saw nothing.

The three people walked through the palace gate, passed under the Heavenly Eye Mirror, and walked between two rows of Taoist guards.

There is a long corridor leading into the palace, which is covered with murals and glowing with light. Jing Jing knows that this corridor also has the mystery of breaking the forbidden magic.

Jing Jing was still worried, but the three people walked in and passed through normally.

Jing Jing breathed a sigh of relief and passed the test.

After entering, I saw the entrance to an underground palace.

There are steps leading down to the underground palace. Looking down from above, it seems so deep and dark that there seems to be no bottom in sight.

Zhao Fuyun stood there and looked carefully. He knew that if he walked down these stairs, he would enter the legendary hell.

Zhao Fuyun stopped there and looked around, feeling it carefully. He felt the confinement of the void, a mysterious passage. He felt that if he had the opportunity to stay here for a longer period of time, he would have some understanding.

However, he did not stop for too long and walked forward step by step.

The darkness swallowed everything. Light sources and sounds quickly disappeared. The darkness surged from the bottom up. He felt like he was sinking into water, with an inexplicable feeling of squeezing.

Zhao Fuyun felt that the sense of nothingness in his body was being cleansed.

Yang Xiao'e took out a lamp and illuminated the darkness.

Jing Jing had another small silver shield in her hand, which was glowing white.

Zhao Fuyun looked at the endless and deep darkness in front of him, with fire in his eyes. He stared for a while, but could not see through the darkness at all.

Looking back, the stairs were still there, but there were thirteen of them, and above them was darkness and emptiness.

"Which way are you going?" Zhao Fuyun's voice sounded a little unreal in the darkness.

"This way." Jing Qing was very familiar with this place.

So, the three of them headed in one direction in the darkness, relying on the lamp in Yang Xiao'e's hand and the shield in Jing Jing's hand.

The sound of footsteps and the sound of the wind in the darkness made the darkness even quieter.
