True Immortal of the Netherworld

"Good wine! It's really enjoyable! For the sake of this good wine, I will help you get out of here."

"Thank you, senior!" Xu Yang was overjoyed when he heard what the old man said.

"However, you can only reach the inner layer of the Ghostly Roaring Land from here. Calculating the time, tomorrow will be the severe wind period. The Ghostly Roaring Land will be temporarily closed, and even this place will be filled with severe winds. The top priority is to find a way to escape first. Li Feng."

Having said this, the old man pointed towards the frog-shaped wine pot.

Frog Walking Wine Pot actually kicked off his feet and jumped onto the old man's palm.

The old man looked Xu Yang up and down and said: "This beast is called the "Nightmare Beast". It was the spiritual beast given to me by my master for my cultivation because of my stupid talent. Two hundred years ago, my body was lucky enough to break through the void and step into the fairy world. . This body I have now is just an afterimage of me left in this world.

This beast is not from this world, but was brought back by the immortal master from his travels to the legendary evil spirit world. Therefore, this beast cannot go with me until it becomes an immortal.

This beast has two talents. One is that it can turn ordinary mortal wine into spiritual wine rich in spiritual power, but you can't be greedy for too much at a time, otherwise it is possible to be drunk for hundreds of years. Secondly, there is a strange space hidden in the belly of this beast. "

The old man paused and continued: "This is also the greatest use of this beast. The space inside its belly has its own unique time law. One period of practice in this space is equivalent to about twenty days outside."

Hearing this, Xu Yang couldn't help but be stunned. There is such a heaven-defying treasure in the world. One day of cultivation inside it is equal to three years outside.

Seeing Xu Yang's appearance, the old man smiled proudly and continued: "However, in order to enter this space, the user must reach the dream state. In other words, after entering this space, the scene inside and the user's dream will Generally the same.

Dreams are uncontrollable, so entering them is very risky, and you may die in the dream. I can use this beast to practice because I have practiced the "dolphin brain splitting technique". This technique can divide the practitioner's brain into two parts. One half of the brain sleeps and dreams, while the other half of the brain operates flexibly as usual. In this way, even if one brain encounters danger after entering the dream state, the other brain can wake up at any time. In this way, you can freely enter and exit the space inside the belly of this spiritual beast. "

After saying this, the old man suddenly paused and looked slightly sad.

"The reason why I left an afterimage here is because I have an unfulfilled wish. Back then, I was a young boy about the same age as you. I traveled and passed by the Eastern Dolphin Island and happened to save a beautiful girl. The girl’s name is “Hai Yuer”.

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were extremely bright, as if he was recalling the beautiful past.

"In return, Miss Yue'er taught me the "dolphin brain splitting technique" and gave me a ray of blood from the Eastern Dolphin Clan's divine dolphin to help me complete the practice of this technique. The two of us fell in love and vowed to become a cultivating couple. . But at that time, I had a sect mission and had to return to the Zhongyuan Continent. When I completed the mission and returned to the East China Sea, Miss Yue'er disappeared.

I will obey my master's orders to guard this place of ghost roars. I will never have the chance to go to the East China Sea again. Two hundred years ago, I was lucky enough to ascend to the immortal world, but I still have this regret in my heart. Therefore, I left a trace of my clone here and prepared to find Miss Yue'er.

However, I have overlooked one thing. My body is no longer a thing of this world. Even this clone is repelled by the power of the interface in this world. Every time the mana of this clone is consumed here, I cannot travel far to the Eastern Dolphin Spirit Island. Even this clone's lifespan is gradually losing due to the rejection of the power of the interface. If I hadn't used the dormancy technique to slow down the loss of lifespan, this clone would have died long ago. "

After saying this, the old man sighed.

"I don't know if I'm drunk, but I talk a lot. Without further ado, the problem now is that you and Lin'er have to hide in the nightmare beast's body together. The risk for you is that you have to enter her dream and successfully It wakes up from its dream, otherwise neither of you will be able to return from its dream."

Hearing this, Xu Yang had to think carefully.

After a moment, he replied: "Rather than stay here and be corroded to death by the fierce wind and evil spirit, it is better to take a risk and explore."

"Well, young man has some courage. You are the first person to come to me. This clone of me does not have long life. If you are lucky enough to walk out of the belly of the nightmare beast, I am willing to make a deal with you. The content of the transaction will not be discussed until you come out of the nightmare beast’s belly safely.”

"Thank you, senior."

"I will teach you the secret to use this beast." After saying that, the old man gently tapped Xu Yang's forehead with one hand, and a ray of blue light converged into a bright spot on Xu Yang's forehead. When the blue light point disappeared, all the tricks used by the nightmare beast were imprinted in Xu Yang's mind.

"Thank you, senior."

"Without further ado, go get ready."

…

In front of Lin'er's bed.

Xu Yang looked at Lin'er with her eyes closed, carefully placed one of Lin'er's hands on the Nightmare Beast's head, and placed his own hand on the back of Lin'er's hand.

Reciting the spell silently, I saw a large blue glow emanating from the nightmare beast's body. After a while, blue light filled the entire room. When the blue light dissipated, Xu Yang and Lin'er had disappeared. In the empty room, only the Nightmare Beast was left squatting on the table.

…

Xu Yang only felt like he was in dense clouds and mist. I don't know how long it took for the clouds to clear, and I found myself outside a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, but Lin'er was nowhere to be seen.

Could this be Lin'er's dream?

Xu Yang pinched his chin with his hand, feeling a burst of pain. It seems that what the senior said is right, you can still be hurt in dreams.

Without further ado, it is important to find Lin'er as soon as possible. Looking at the city gate in front of him and the crowds of people entering the city in twos and threes, Xu Yang followed the crowd to the small town.

The town is about the same size as Qingshi Town in Xu Yang's hometown, but the architectural style is very different. Several rivers criss-crossed each other, and a row of willows on the edge of the river had just sprouted green buds. Several stone arch bridges are built over the waterway, and pedestrians are constantly crossing them. There are houses and shops on both sides of the river, and occasionally the sound of merchants selling goods can be heard. A prosperous scene of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xu Yang stood on a stone bridge and looked up at the people passing by.

Thinking about it in my mind, where should I go to find Lin'er next? Since this dreamland is a place where mortals live, Lin'er must also be in an ordinary person's home. But you can't knock on the door from door to door. Once the order here is disturbed, Lin'er's peaceful dream will turn into some nightmare scene, and he will not be able to bear it.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang decided to look around and try his luck.

Seeing a girl with a similar figure to Lin'er in front of her, Xu Yang immediately took two quick steps to follow her. He glanced at her and saw that this girl was not Lin'er. He shook his head in disappointment.

Just like this, he walked and looked for her on the streets. After walking around most of the small town, Lin'er was still nowhere to be seen, and Xu Yang felt a little lonely.

It's getting late, and there are fewer and fewer people on the streets.

Xu Yang decided to find a hotel to stay first. This small town is a small town for mortals, and the currency in circulation is gold, silver and copper coins. Xu Yang was practicing in Tiangui Sect during this period, using spirit stones and was penniless. He had no choice but to pawn a delicate dagger he often carried around with him for two taels of silver in a pawn shop, and then found a hotel to stay.

Xu Yang sat cross-legged on the bed in the inn, adjusting his breathing and preparing to continue searching for Lin'er's whereabouts the next day.

The next day, early in the morning.

Xu Yang continued to go out to look for Lin'er. In this way, after searching for several days, Xu Yang searched the entire town, but Lin'er was still nowhere to be seen.

Plus meals and accommodation. After a few days, Xu Yang had very little money left. Xu Yang decided to find a way to make money first, and then slowly find Lin'er's whereabouts.

"Good wine, three taels of silver per jar." A handsome young man shouted in an open space on the side of the street.

There were several wine jars in front of him, and each jar had a red diamond-shaped paper tag with the words "Eighteen Down." The young man selling wine was Xu Yang.

"It seems that making money is also difficult." As he said that, Xu Yang weighed the broken silver in his pocket.

At noon, I went back to the hotel to have some food, and in the afternoon I started searching the city for Lin'er's whereabouts.

This continued for several days, and there was still no news from Lin'er, making Xu Yang feel even more disappointed.

This morning, Xu Yang decided to try his luck selling wine again.

"This little brother, how do you sell your wine?" A clear voice like wind chimes passed into Xu Yang's ears.

Xu Yang looked up and saw a cute little girl standing in front of Xu Yang's stall. The little girl looks about eleven or twelve years old.

Seeing the little girl's appearance, Xu Yang couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy. The little girl in front of me seems to have been seen somewhere before, but I still can't remember it.

"Brother, how do you sell your wine?" the little girl continued to ask.

The little girl asked again, interrupting Xu Yang's thoughts. Xu Yang quickly replied: "One tael of wine costs ten cents, and a jar of wine costs two taels of silver."

The little girl put her nose to the edge of the opened wine jar and smelled it.

"It tastes so spicy. It smells similar to the wine that dad usually drinks. Let's have a bottle." He said, passing the wine bottle with a belt that he carried with him to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang took the jug, then scooped out white wine from the jar and filled the jug. He handed it to the little girl and said: "Little sister, take your wine, a pound of wine is one hundred dollars."

The little girl took the wine bottle and shook it.

"It looks like the weight is enough." After saying that, the little girl pursed her lips and smiled, then poured out two broken pieces of silver from her purse and handed them to Xu Yang.

The little girl's smile didn't matter, Xu Yang slapped his forehead hard with his hand, as if he suddenly understood.
