From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 349: Guifang Kingdom and the Li Tribe Ghost Owl
The Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation also has another famous name, the Nine-Curve Yellow River Formation, which is the specialty of the Three Fairies of the World.

Yu Shuyang never expected that Tu Bo would actually understand the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. He looked Tu Bo up and down and saw that there was no trace of immortal light on him.

"Uncle Tu, how can your Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation be worthy of a big word?" Yu Shuyang asked half-jokingly.

Names are something mysterious. The more rooted a heritage is, the more likely it is to be named randomly. For example, Xiantian Hunyuan Yiqi Fu and Liangyi Microdust Array are both very concise names.

"Little Taoist priest, you have a very clever mind. I won't beat around the bush with you. This formation was not comprehended by me, nor was it taught by anyone.

This is the shadow left by Jiuqu Huangsha in the Ghost Kingdom. In the early years, the ghosts and gods of Taiyue came here to make a copy, but unfortunately, they encountered the internal strife between the two palaces.

The two ghosts who made the rubbing of the image were killed, and the item remained in my hands. During the years of suppression, I occasionally woke up to observe it.

From what I could vaguely see, it was a formation, but to use it, it required yellow sand on the outside and weak water on the inside.

Just now, I saw you refine the True Earth and possess the Weak Water of the Heavenly River. I felt that this was destiny. I wanted to give this shadow map to you and ensure that it would not be covered in dust."

Tu Bo smiled and took out a piece of horse skin and handed it to Yu Shuyang personally. In fact, he didn't say one more thing. This shadow map and formation should be a very evil and ominous thing.

The two ghosts and gods of Mount Tai absorbed the wind and sand, and soon after they left their imprints and took photos, they died of old age in the yellow sand. The lifespan of ghosts and gods is as long as the sky, so how can they die of old age?
Later, Tu Bo took the map away. When he looked at it carefully and comprehended it, he found that it was actually a formation that could dissipate cultivation and transform innate into acquired. Before he could set up the formation, he was blasted into pieces by the Heavenly Dao.

For an entire era, Tu Bo had been thinking about it, and after a while he finally realized that this formation diagram contained great danger and ominous signs.

Now that Tu Bo has finally restored his original appearance, he naturally has to get rid of the shadow image, which is why he had a little idea.

Yu Shuyang unfolded the horse hide, which was charred black. It felt like the spirit of a dragon and a horse. He saw a nine-bend yellow sand river painted on it. The mystery could not be seen with the naked eye, and one had to use his spiritual sense to immerse himself in it and feel it.

When a wisp of divine consciousness was put into it, he saw nine bends and eighteen turns, each with changes in wind and thunder, and yellow sand flowing in it. There were three mysterious waters hidden in it, namely black water, mysterious water, and weak water.

At this moment, Yu Shuyang instantly understood that this formation was somewhat similar to the Dust Tribulation. The core of the Dust Tribulation was the change between reality and illusion, while this Yellow Sand Formation was to transform the innate into the acquired.

Thinking of this, he knew that this formation was not the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, but an authentic reincarnation formation.

Both formations use the Nine Bends of Yellow Sand, but their inner roots are different. The Yellow River Formation is a formation for refining immortals, and the arrangements in the formation are all yin and turbid, used to hone the immortals' pure energy.

The Yellow Sand Formation is transformed by wind and thunder, using real soil and mysterious water to transform the innate into the acquired, and the ultimate goal is like reincarnation.

After Yu Shuyang figured this out, he wanted to pull his spiritual thoughts out of the horse skin, but he discovered that the Nine Bends secretly matched the Three Elements, and his spiritual thoughts were trapped inside.

For a moment, he was in a dilemma. If he followed the formation to get out, his spiritual thoughts would be like reincarnation and would definitely be refined into acquired consciousness, and everything about the formation would be forgotten.

Divine thoughts are formed from the thoughts of the mind. What is seen and observed is transmitted to the heart at all times. Originally, even if the divine thoughts are damaged, it will not affect the feelings in the heart. However, the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation transforms the innate into the acquired, and can eliminate the thoughts.

Yu Shuyang didn't know that the two ghosts and gods in the copy had died of old age due to exhaustion of their minds, but he thought of the consequences after their spiritual thoughts were eliminated.

Thinking of this, he couldn't let his spiritual thoughts be eliminated. The only way left was to extract his spiritual thoughts from the yellow sand formation.

After much deliberation, Yu Shuyang decided to put the Qiankun Circle magic thought into it, use this magic thought to break the formation and rescue the trapped mind.

Then, a ray of white light fell into the horse's skin, and a yin and yang double ring fell into the nine-bend yellow sand. The three elements and nine bends could not trap it. The Qiankun Circle method contained the Hunyuan Qi and was not affected at all.

Only in this way did he bring his mind away from the formation diagram.

Yu Shuyang couldn't help but glance at Tu Bo a few times, with many thoughts in his mind. Since Tu Bo could remember the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation, it seemed that his spiritual consciousness had not been eliminated. I just wonder what method he used to escape?
"Thank you for the gift, Tubo, and we'll take our leave."

Yu Shuyang bowed to express his gratitude, and used his magical powers to transform into a cloud car, inviting Li Zhen, Yao Jihua, Yao Zizhong, Xuan Hu and others to get on the car.

When the cloud car flew into the azure sky, Xuanhu couldn't help but sneered and said, "Little Taoist priest, did you fall into the trap set by that stupid bull just now?
Although this stupid ox often does stupid things, he is actually quite clever. The fact that he was able to kill the snake and escape the disaster shows how vicious he is.

Pengwei has always been brooding over the fact that he was suppressed and killed in the Nine-bend Yellow Earth. Especially when he saw Tubo trying to win over Li Zhen and Yu Shuyang, he couldn't help but put pressure on Tubo and instigate some trouble behind the scenes.

The main reason was that he had come to his senses. An era had passed and all the previous relationships had changed. He didn't know what the relationship was between the Fox Clan and the Li Clan, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and the Taoist Alliance.

"You fly the cloud car to the north. The four of you entered in physical form. If you want to get out, you have to go through the Ghost Gate of Youdu Mountain." The black fox with fluffy tail said with half-closed eyes.

Yu Shuyang drove the cloud car all the way north. There was no east, west, south or north in the Nine Netherworlds. He could vaguely identify the direction by relying on his perception of the Xuanming underworld.

"Boy, if you want to help him find the way, just use Huang Tong. He is the middle soul guide among the five soul guides." Xuanhu curled his lips and reminded Li Zhen.

The cloud car was traveling in the sky at an extremely fast speed. Looking at the cloud car crawling like a turtle, Pengwei knew that Yu Shuyang could not tell the direction.

After receiving the reminder, Li Zhen was busy communicating with Huang Tong who was living in the mysterious cavity. Now Huang Tong only had a little spiritual response and was in a completely confused state. When he saw Li Zhen asking, he directly spit out a burst of divine power.

The soul-guiding aura of the middle road was added to the cloud car. In an instant, the ghost world in the netherworld became clear. Yu Shuyang urged the cloud car again, and it was like a roc spreading its wings and leaping ten thousand miles.

In just three or five breaths, the cloud car arrived at Youdu Mountain in the extreme north. This place is close to the Nether Black Water. The mountain is covered with lush trees, and the whole mountain is a dark black color.

"You will all follow me to Guifang Country, which is the Ghost Country under my rule. There is a Yin-Yang Road there that leads to Beitiao Mountain in Zhongzhou.

"I don't know how the Guifang have changed over the years, or whether they've been completely abandoned." Pengwei lamented.

In the past, the sacred place of the Moon Fox Clan was located in Zhongtiao Mountain of Taihang. The Black Fox was worshipped as a totem god by the Guifang Clan and settled in Beitiao Mountain.

Later, the Guifang clan migrated north to Zhongshan in the north. Pengwei did not follow them because of his belief in the Li people, and stayed in Beitiao Mountain.

Yu Shuyang pressed down the cloud and stopped the cloud car at the foot of Youdu Mountain. At this moment, he was thinking more about the ghosts of the Dongyi people, who had never shown up.

"Ghost Owl? The wife's family of the Lord of Arms is here?" As soon as Xuan Hu landed, he smelled a rotten smell, a smell he was too familiar with.

As Xuan Hu finished speaking, a human-faced eagle was seen landing. Its body shape was very similar to that of an owl, but it had a human face.

"Pangwei, why did you come just now? We have been waiting for you here for several years." Guixiao complained.

After saying this, he turned around to look at Yao Jihua and Yao Zizhong, and couldn't help complaining, "Why are the Li people so weak nowadays, and their demon pets are not that good either." After saying this, Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen were the first to change their expressions. It was true that the two of them were demons, but they were not demon pets, and they each had a mysterious light on their bodies, which was impossible not to see.

"Which clan are you from? How dare you speak such nonsense?" Xuanhu was the first to jump out. The fox clan was the most angered by the issue of demon pets.

The Li people have the deepest entanglement with the fox tribe. The earth fox and demon fox tribes have married with them several times. In private, female foxes and Li men often have fleeting romances.

The ghost owl chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Pufftail. I said the wrong thing."

The black fox shook its tail, communicated with Youdu Mountain, mobilized a bit of the underworld power in the mountain, and directly transformed the ghost owl into a stone statue.

"It's okay. Just be more careful in your next life."

As Xuanhu spoke, he was about to smash the stone elephant to pieces and kill the blind ghost owl.

"Ghost Mother, wait a minute."

As they were speaking, two men came out of the forest, one wearing a feathered cloak and the other wearing a hemp robe.

The one wearing feathered clothes has a higher level of cultivation, reaching the late third grade. He is the leading immortal of the contemporary Yuhua Dao.

The other one wearing hemp clothes is the corpse-reincarnation immortal. His cultivation level is slightly lower, at the early third level.

They were the ones who practiced in Taoliu Blessed Land. They were the ones who gathered the souls of the half-demons, refined the clan spirit of the half-demons, and even refined the ghosts into Yinshan. It was all done by the two of them.

Unexpectedly, the book fairy ghost monkey who guards the blessed land found Yu Shuyang. He refined half of the Yinshan ghost and used the Xuanming underworld soil to prevent the blessed land from sinking.

As a result, they rescued the Dongyi ghosts, but they had no escape route in the Nine Netherworlds and were chased by the Taiyue ghosts all the way. In the end, they had to run to Youdu Mountain to hide.

"You two zombies, you dare to offend me. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you both too?" Xuanhu said coldly.

Xuanhu does not give face to the Immortal of Ascension and the Immortal of Corpse Reincarnation. Even though both of them have the third-grade cultivation, he is not afraid of them. Ghosts and gods are most disgusted with those who try to escape death and prolong their lives.

"Ghost Mother, calm down. This ghost owl is from the Jiuli clan. We are counting on him to resurrect the Salt Owl Mistress. He is just a sacrifice. There is really no need for you to do anything."

The Corpse Transmigration Immortal stepped forward to persuade them to go to Feilai Peak of Taiyue Mountain to rescue the ancient ghosts of Dongyi. Unexpectedly, the will of heaven played tricks on them and all the people suppressed at the foot of the mountain were ghost owls.

This group of ghost owls are soldiers under the command of the Jiuli clan's military leader. They were also imprisoned in the late ancient times. They survived by relying on the ghost energy on Taiyue Mountain and the cannibalism of the ghost owls.

"The Jiuli clan can actually transform into a ghost owl. This means they are all descendants of the Salt Owl and the Lord of War." A gleam of cunning light flashed in Xuanhu's eyes.

The Li people originally lived in the northern part of Zhongzhou, while the Hua people who fought against them lived in the northwest of Lingzhou. The two sides were separated by the Taihang Mountains and did not have much contact with each other.

The reason why the war broke out later was that the Li military leader went to Lingzhou to ask for the hand in hand of Xie from Yanchi, the mistress of the salt smugglers.

At that time, the young master of the Hua clan came to Zhongzhou to ask for Xiling's hand in marriage. The two met in Banquan and fought, which triggered the subsequent war.

"Ghost Mother, I believe you have just escaped from captivity and are still unaware of what is happening in the mortal world. Currently, the Hua and Li tribes have merged and occupied the inland areas of Kyushu.

The human race today respects the Way of Heaven. The leader recognizes Heaven as his father and calls himself the Son of Heaven. He also forbids the worship of ghosts and gods.

The followers of the Guifang clan and the Zhongshan Kingdom in your human world have long been extinct and have no legacy, including the name of the Ghost Mother, which has also been lost in no record.

We, the Dongyi people, were once a branch of the Li people in the north. Now, we are trapped on an island in the East China Sea.

We are all relics of the past. As long as we dare to show our heads, we will surely have a lot of enemies. Please calm down your wrath for a while.

Only by resurrecting the Salt Owl can we recover the Lord of Arms and even the entire Jiuli tribe." The Corpse Reincarnation Immortal urged.

This plan was formulated by the Emperor of Dongyi. It can be considered a blessing in disguise for them. They originally wanted to rescue the ghosts of the Dongyi people, but they didn't expect to find the Nine Li Ghost Owl.

The Li people are the predecessors of the Dongyi people. The two peoples are separated by more than half an era, one in the early ancient times and the other in the late ancient times.

The era in which the Black Fox Pengwei lived was the middle of the ancient times, which happened to be the era when the Hua and Li peoples merged. At that time, the human race was united against the outside world, and the human races in Jiuzhou were all intermarrying.

Therefore, he did not have any good feelings towards the Jiuli military leader and the Yanxiao clan. Moreover, he was from the Moon Fox clan, and his stance was originally different from that of the Li people.

"You came to Youdu Mountain, probably want to take the route to Hojo Mountain, right?" Xuanhu asked indifferently.

"The Ghost Mother is wise." The Corpse Reincarnation Immortal praised her with all her might.

Just now, when he saw the half-demon luck on Yao Zizhong's waist, he knew that he was here to rescue them. He knew that the plan was more than half completed, and the only thing left was the last hurdle, Xuanhu.

To be honest, they didn't expect that the Ghost Owl would be so foul-mouthed and offend the Black Fox right away. These ancient ghosts and gods usually have weird personalities.

"It's okay to borrow your way, but I have to warn you not to cause trouble here. As for the Lord of Soldiers and the Salt Owl Clan, they have nothing to do with me." Xuanhu warned sternly.

After saying this, he shook his fox tail and lifted the seal on Ghost Owl. To be honest, he didn't want to make enemies with the Lord of Soldiers.

"You guys follow me closely, we are going to Guifang Kingdom now." Xuanhu turned around and reminded Yu Shuyang and the other three.

The unsealed ghost owl was busy calling "cooing" to summon the other owls in the mountain. There were eighty-one of them in total, and the leader was the one that had been petrified just now.

Not all ghost owls have human faces and eagle bodies. Many have human faces and sheep bodies, and have wings on their backs. If it weren't for the two goat horns on their foreheads, they wouldn't be able to tell they have sheep faces.

When Xuanhu saw that all the ghost owls had come over, he directly invoked the divine power of Youdu Mountain and took them to the Guifang Kingdom in the mountains.

The Guifang Kingdom is also called the Yimu Kingdom. All the ghosts and monsters there look like one-eyed humans, just like fish in the water, with only one eye on each side.
