Chapter 1327 Quasi-Immortal
Night.
Beitai.
The modern city under the lights and wine represents the prosperity of humanity.
This world is dominated by people, and people are the protagonists of the world.
If you look at it from this perspective, abandoning the identity of a human to seek immortality, isn't it going against the trend?
In fact, it's ridiculous that the original intention of many people who want to become immortals is just to be a human for a longer time.
As long as you can live long, it doesn't matter whether you are an immortal, a demon, or a monster.
The key is longevity, not immortality.
So it's better to say that it's seeking longevity than seeking immortality.
World Building.
This building is known as the best Feng Shui location in Beitai. Just the name can reflect the ambition of the person who built this building.
He wants this building to be the center of the world.
Unfortunately, no matter where the center of the world is, it can't be on this small island. This place itself is a place where people run away, and this ambition can only be buried forever.
I'm afraid that the owner of this building didn't expect that someone used the unique Feng Shui pattern of this building to do something that is destined to shock all mankind here-becoming an immortal!
On the 23rd floor of this building, just after exiting the elevator, you will find the reception desk and lobby of the modern company.
But after entering a fully enclosed electromagnetic door that requires a remote control switch, you will find that there is something else here.
There is an ancient Taoist temple inside!
There is a building within a building hidden in the modern building!
This Taoist temple is called Zhenxian Temple, which is an ancient monument in Jiaozhi.
Seven years ago, two Chinese doctors who returned from the United States founded a company called "First Advanced Technology" in Taiwan. They spent four years to make this company the leading high-tech company in Taiwan.
Just when everyone thought that the First Advanced Technology Company would become Taiwan's new high-tech business card, these two doctors who studied in the United States did something that surprised the whole world.
They sold the company, cashed out 2 billion, and then rented an entire floor in the World Building, and moved an ancient Taoist temple in Jiaozhi here without missing a single brick or tile.
They restored the original "Zhenxian Temple" one-to-one, allowing it to reappear in the most prosperous building in Beitai.
The two American PhD students, who were worth billions, also gave up everything, became Taoist priests, and accepted a lot of apprentices.
This incident once became a strange story, attracting major media to report it.
As time went by, people eventually lost interest in this matter.
But the Zhenxian Temple on the 23rd floor of the World Building remained here forever.
Su Yi is now standing in front of the gate of this ancient Taoist temple.
Behind him, the electromagnetic door is still tightly closed. The front desk disciple who is on duty 24 hours a day is only one door away from Su Yi. I'm afraid she would never dream that someone could ignore the barrier of the access control and appear in the forbidden area.
"Zhenxian Temple..."
Su Yi looked at the plaque on the lintel of the Taoist temple. These three words are full of ancient meaning, vigorous and free, and a vicissitudes of life come from the lines.
It was evening when Su Yi came, and the sun just sprinkled in from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the outer wall of the building, as if to plate this ancient Taoist temple with a layer of gold, making this "building within a building" more mysterious.
He took a step and disappeared from the doorway.
When he reappeared, he was already in the Taoist temple.
Perhaps because the building had no three courtyards, the Immortal Lord Hall was just a wall away.
What surprised Su Yi was that the True Immortal Temple did not enshrine the minor gods of the side sects, but the Five Ancestors and Seven True Ones of the orthodox Quanzhen Taoism.
This True Immortal Temple was actually the follower of Quanzhen Taoism.
The twelve statues of gods in the Immortal Lord Hall were the Five Ancestors, namely Emperor Donghua Wang Xuanfu, Emperor Zhengyang Zhongli Quan, Emperor Chunyang Lü Dongbin, Emperor Chunyou Liu Haichan, and Emperor Fuji Wang Chongyang.
The Seven True Ones were Changchun Zhenren Qiu Chuji, Wuwei Zhenren Ma Yu, Yunde Zhenren Tan Chuduan, Changsheng Zhenren Liu Chuxuan, Yuyang Zhenren Wang Chuyi, Guangning Zhenren Hao Datong, and Qingjing Sanren Sun Buer.
These are all the orthodox gods canonized by the Taoist sect, but it is a bit out of place to worship them here. After all, the method of becoming an immortal by practicing the Five Hells Immortals has not been a proper way since ancient times and is not recognized by the orthodox Taoist sect.
If the Quanzhen Taoist sect knew that their Taoist sect had such a tradition of practicing the Five Hells Immortals, they would probably rush to destroy it at the first time.
But if they knew that the Five Hells Immortals became immortals by those with double pupils, that would be another matter.
The method of the Five Hells Immortals cannot be practiced by those without double pupils, and it is not inherited or promoted.
Although there are no true immortals in the True Immortal Temple, there are real people.
Su Yi's arrival finally alarmed the people in the Taoist temple. The first person to discover Su Yi was a female Taoist priest who was cleaning.
She noticed that the inexplicable green light was emanating from the Immortal Lord Hall, so she walked out of the back hall to investigate. At a glance, she saw a green skull looking around in the hall. The female Taoist priest was immediately scared to death.
"Ghost! Ghost..." She threw away the broom, and ran back to the back hall screaming.
Soon, dense footsteps were heard in the back hall, accompanied by exclamations and shouts.
Amid the crowd, many people in Taoist robes swarmed in.
These people were also scared when they saw Su Yi's appearance.
This is the most normal reaction of normal people to see a skeleton running around alive and emitting green light.
The next moment, these Taoists reacted.
Two middle-aged Taoist priests, one thin and wearing glasses, and the other bald and burly, jumped out. The two of them quickly chanted spells and shouted, and threw the talisman paper in their hands at Su Yi.
Nothing happened.
The two talismans touched Su Yi's body and fell down, like two ordinary pieces of waste paper.
The two middle-aged Taoist priests were even more horrified when they saw this. One of them held a mahogany sword and bit off the tip of his tongue, spurting out Taoist blood. He then stabbed with the sword.
Another man took out a green sword and pulled it hard in his palm. Blood immediately covered the blade. He also raised his sword to strike at Su Yi.
The remaining Taoist priests all reacted at this time, some threw peach wood swords, some threw talismans, and attacked Su Yi from a distance from the outside.
The scene was chaotic, but orderly within the chaos, which showed that the quality of these Taoist priests was quite good.
But it's all useless.
Bang bang!
The two middle-aged Taoist priests who took the lead all flew out.
The peach wood swords and talismans that the Taoist priests on the periphery threw at Su Yi from a distance were all ineffective.
Su Yi still stood there, as if he had never done anything.
"She Qing! It's She Qing!" The thin, bespectacled, middle-aged Taoist priest finally recognized Su Yi's species. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted in horror.
Although Su Yi's appearance is different from the legendary She Qing, he is covered in cyan light, rich in corpse energy, and immune to all spells. These characteristics are all the same as the legendary She Qing!
"Blood sacrifice! Chunmei Fang gave birth to Lu Huiguang, you three go first!" Another bald, burly, middle-aged Taoist shouted decisively.
It is common knowledge in the cultivation world that only blood sacrifice can deal with She Qing.
Originally, there was still the step of asking ghosts.
But what is this place?
This is a true fairy temple!
Naturally, there is no need to hire ghost messengers, there are also people who can restrict the photography.
These Taoists are very evil and they are very fanatical in their beliefs.
Even if they were allowed to die, they would not blink an eye or question anything, as if everything was taken for granted.
The three people called by the bald, burly middle-aged man came forward. They were two male and one female disciples. The three of them took out daggers and stabbed themselves in the chest without saying a word!
The eyes of the three were full of determination and stubbornness, and some had fear, but their movements were stunned without any hesitation.
At this moment, the entire Taoist temple suddenly became a little darker.
A girl's voice sounded like a silver bell: "Stop!"
This voice seemed to have a magical power, which immediately calmed down all the Taoist priests present.
No matter what he was doing, the Taoist immediately turned to the direction of the apse and saluted Taoji.
Including the two leading middle-aged Taoists.
The three Taoists who were preparing to sacrifice themselves with blood also stopped.
It was as if the pause button had been pressed on all of them.
swish swish...
Suddenly, dust-like powder fell from the sky. This powder smelled moldy and rancid.
Su Yi frowned slightly, but did not avoid it, letting the powder fall on him.
The next second, the stars changed, and he suddenly appeared in an empty room.
A short-haired girl wearing a white dress was standing in front of Su Yi, looking at him curiously.
The girl's eyes turned, and her eyes actually had two pupils, which looked very strange.
The one with double eyes!
Standing in front of Su Yi was a man with double pupils!
Xie Yali, the one with double pupils!
Quasi-immortal from the Five Hells!
This seemingly fateful encounter was so unexpected.
Su Yi was pulled into the illusion by Xie Yali, but this illusion was not the kind of illusion created by ordinary sneakers.
This illusion is based on the powder that fell on Su Yi before. In this illusion, everything can be real.
For example, if Su Yi stabs himself in this illusion, he will immediately react as if he has been stabbed.
If he stabbed himself in the vital part, he would die from it.
Although in reality he was unscathed, in reality his cause of death would have been a stabbing.
This can no longer be called an illusion, perhaps it should be called a "virtual world".
To create a virtual barrier.
This is a true practitioner's technique, a very advanced technique.
And what is standing in front of Su Yi now is not just a fantasy, but——
Yin Shen!
Unlike Su Yi's "pseudo Yin Shen" who relied on ghost cores to get out of his body, Xie Yali in front of him really relied on his own cultivation to get his Yin Shen out of his body.
If it had been before, Su Yi would have knelt down on the spot if he had seen such a "big guy" with an out-of-body spirit.
But now, Su Yi still has some confidence to face it.
"You are not Shaoqing, Huanghuotu." Xie Yali's eyes were spinning wildly, and he was unabashedly checking Su Yi's physical condition, "You are really strange, neither alive nor dead, and you still have the smell of ghosts... Hehe , If the underworld gives you a status, you can take up your job as a ghost immediately. "
She looks very innocent, and if you ignore the pair of eyes, there is no sinister and weird feeling at all.
Although she was in the form of a ghost, Su Yi felt pure, holy and beautiful.
But behind this holiness and beauty, it also gave Su Yi a very inconsistent and awkward feeling.
It seems like this is a "fake" beauty.
Xie Yali looked very familiar. Not only did he call Su Yi by his first name, he also seemed very relaxed when talking to Su Yi, and even made jokes.
Maybe that's her nature, but maybe she's trying to create that atmosphere on purpose.
"Do you think I will like the way I look now?" Su Yi pretended to smile, opened his arms and turned in a circle in front of Xie Yali, showing off his body, "If there is a chance to do it again, I will definitely choose to do it again. Normal people.”
"Normal people?" Xie Yali's eyes flickered, "You shouldn't think like that, Huang Huotu, most people in this world are not normal. Just ask people outside, what do they want most? Their answers are either the pursuit of fame and fortune, or the pursuit of mediocrity. No one pursues the true meaning of the Tao, the essence of life. They are all lost in the world of mortals, but they don't know it yet. They are so pitiful, really a group of poor people..."
"How do you know you are not lost?" Su Yi looked at her and asked, "Maybe you are also the one who is lost, but you don't know it yourself."
Xie Yali looked at Su Yi quietly for a while, and said seriously: "I am a fairy, I cultivate my true self, I am not lost. Huang Huotu, will you help me?"
Su Yi also looked at her quietly, and then nodded slowly.
"I will." Su Yi said, "I also want to know if there are fairies in this world. For this answer, I am willing to pay a price."
In fact, this answer is inconsistent with Su Yi's mission. Su Yi's mission is to prevent Xie Yali from becoming a fairy.
But Su Yi believes that the most important prerequisite for completing this task is that if he does nothing, Xie Yali will definitely become an immortal.
Only if this premise is established, he has a reason to "do the task".
But what if Xie Yali will not become an immortal even if he does nothing?
Then his task can actually be won without effort, so why bother?
Or in other words, the key to Xie Yali's immortality may be in one of the links.
As long as Su Yi destroys this link, Xie Yali will not become an immortal.
If this is the case, Su Yi does not need to confront the Five Hells Immortal sisters, because Su Yi himself does not think he has any chance of winning.
This is why Su Yi came directly to kill.
Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles.
If he wants to complete this task, he must at least know what the Five Hells Immortals are, and at least know the principles and process of Xie Yali's immortality.
I can't rush over to confront these two sisters when I don't know anything, that would be ridiculous.
"Do you want to know if there are immortals in this world?" Xie Yali tilted his head and looked at Su Yi with interest, "Haven't you seen my sister? If she is not an immortal... who do you think can seal Sheqing in this world?"
"Maybe you can." Su Yi said, "I haven't seen your sister, I can't be sure if she exists."
Su Yi paused, leaned forward slightly and stared into Xie Yali's eyes: "Maybe she really doesn't exist?"
"Maybe... it has always been you?"
The scene was silent.
After a moment, Xie Yali's silver bell-like laughter rang out.
"Huang Huotu, Huang Huotu, you are really interesting! Even I can't understand and see through you. It would be a pity for someone like you not to become an immortal."
"So I came." Su Yi restrained his eyes and said lightly.
