Chapter 218 Escaped to more than a thousand years ago (13)

Xia Dongqing quickly submitted his resignation application to Zhao Li.

Zhao Li didn't stop him. The mission he received from Pluto was to monitor Xia Dongqing, not to tie Xia Dongqing to himself.

Therefore, it would be best for Xia Dongqing to stay by his side. Even if she wanted to leave, he had no reason to stop her.

After confirming that Xia Dongqing was willing to resign that day, Zhu Li contacted her parents the next day and asked them to help arrange a new job for her.

Xia Dongqing's new company is a public relations company. Although he needs to travel frequently, the salary is really high.

The average salary of people in the industry ranges from 8,000 to 15,000 yuan.

Zhu Li's parents also regarded Xia Dongqing as their future son-in-law, and they specially found a master to guide Xia Dongqing into the industry.

"I hope Xia Dongqing can live a stable new life."

...The evil dividing line...

"Where is this place?"

Su Mingzhe opened his eyes and found that he was not lying at home, but in a place covered with yellow sand.

"You were nearly killed by Taotie, the fifth son of the Dragon King, just now. I escaped with you."

The star-eating beast, which was dark in color and covered in scales and armor, was now covered with scars, with golden blood coagulating on its scales, making it look extremely pitiful.

The round eyes looked helpless and tired at the moment, as if dying, and said weakly:

"You said you were fine, why did you provoke the dragon clan?"

The Star-Swallowing Beast felt that he had suffered a great loss. He almost lost his life just to help his host.

"How dare I provoke him? He wants to eat me, I can't just sit there and surrender. Besides, didn't you say you were invincible in that little world?"

"I am naturally invincible in that small world, but... I dare not fight back!"

When the Star Devourer heard that his strength was being doubted, he quickly explained:
"The dragons are notoriously difficult to deal with. When you beat the young ones, the old ones come. When you beat the old ones, a whole group of them come. In the civilized world of dimensions below level five, basically no race is willing to be an enemy of the dragons. If I were an adult, I wouldn't be afraid of them. The problem is that I'm still a juvenile and I'm no match for them."

"Then please explain clearly, I thought I could do whatever I wanted..."

The more Su Mingzhe spoke, the more depressed he felt.

After Xia Dongqing resigned, Su Mingzhe went to convenience store No. 444 to buy snacks as usual, and happened to meet the Fifth Young Master Taotie.

It was the fifth young master Taotie whose eyes sparkled green after seeing Su Mingzhe.

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that Xia Dongqing escaped by leaving the convenience store, but he was targeted by the Fifth Young Master.

The next day, Su Mingzhe received an invitation letter from the Fifth Young Master, inviting him to attend a banquet on the fifth floor.

Su Mingzhe knew what a monster the Fifth Young Master was, so he naturally would not go to the appointment.

In order to prevent the Fifth Young Master from pestering him, Su Mingzhe decided to strike first.

Su Mingzhe spent a large amount of money to purchase a large amount of dragon urine (the urine of children born in the year of the dragon).

Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, after reporting the information of murder on the fifth floor to the JC, Su Mingzhe poured dragon urine on the fifth floor while preventing fire.

In "Soul Ferry", this is how Zhao Li and Wang Xiaoya drove away the Fifth Young Master.

These five young masters are very powerful, and bullying a soul ferryman like Zhao Li is like an adult bullying a child.

However, faced with the dragon urine splashed by Su Mingzhe, they became cowardly and fled almost overnight.

Su Mingzhe thought that the Fifth Young Master would just run away and the matter would be over.

He didn't expect that the Fifth Young Master could see through his strengths and launch a surprise attack.

Seeing that the Fifth Young Master Taotie was getting angry and opening his mouth to swallow Su Mingzhe, the Star-Swallowing Beast appeared in time, used its back as a killing move for Taotie, and escaped with Su Mingzhe.

Su Mingzhe did not argue with the Star Devouring Beast. After all, it was all in the past.
"By the way, where is this?"

"Yellow Spring."

The Star Devouring Beast said with a hint of pride: "I spent 80% of my blood and energy to take you back in time and enter the underworld Huangquan more than a thousand years ago. The Fifth Young Master Taotie is a fool. As long as you stay here for two or three years, he will figure out that you are in Huangquan and will definitely think that you are dead, so he will not continue to pester you."

“Is this the Yellow Spring?”

Su Mingzhe walked in the yellow sand. Looking around, he saw yellow sand everywhere, without a single figure. Looking up, he saw the sky full of stars, but no sun or moon.

"Yes, this is Huangquan, but... this is the main universe of Soul Ferry."

As the Star-Swallowing Beast spoke, it stretched out its black claws and asked Su Mingzhe for a hundred Star Stones.

"I overdrawn my bloodline this time to take you back in time, which consumed too much blood and essence. I need at least a hundred Star Stones to make up for the loss."

"for you!"

Su Mingzhe guessed that the Star-Swallowing Lion opened its mouth wide.

However, Su Mingzhe did not refuse.

After all, the Star-Swallowing Beast did block the attack of the Fifth Young Master's Taotie Dragon Claw in order to save itself, which left itself covered in wounds.

Another point is that this is the main world of "Soul Ferry", which is more dangerous, and I need the Star-Devouring Beast to protect me at all times.

The Star Devouring Beast opened its mouth and swallowed a hundred Star Stones, then nodded with satisfaction and said:

"I'm going to go back and rest first. I'll be there when you're in danger."

The Star-Swallowing Beast said, and then went back to the pet space to recuperate. He is still a young animal now, so he took Su Mingzhe through time and space. Although he would not overdraw his blood and essence, the loss was indeed very large.

Su Mingzhe looked at the yellow sand that covered the mountains and fields, thought for a while, and then waved his hand. A simple house appeared beside him, with a bed, electricity, and various furniture in it.

Su Mingzhe walked in, found a place to sit cross-legged, and began to practice silently.

"The first season of Soul Ferry was so dangerous, and now it's the main world of Soul Ferry, isn't it even more dangerous?"

"I will hide here for a while to practice and improve my strength. This is not cowardice, but following the heart."

"First calculate your supplies and see how long they can sustain yourself."

After comforting himself, Su Mingzhe began to take inventory of the items in the space.

Here, I would like to thank myself for having the habit of storing supplies.

These are the habits we had when we were poor. Now that we have money, we must keep a good inventory.

In Su Mingzhe's space, there is not only food and water, but also modern power generation equipment.

After three days of sorting.

Su Mingzhe took inventory of the inventory:
"The food in my own space is enough to sustain me for a hundred years. I might as well practice here for a hundred years. When the Star Devouring Beast has recovered, it will take me away from this ghost world and return to the first-level world where there is no danger."

"As long as "The Concubine's Night Makeup" is here, I won't be lonely at night." Su Mingzhe kept his word. While he began to tidy up the small house where he would live in the future, he really began to practice in the underworld.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

In "The Concubine's Night Makeup", the red thread of lovesickness tied around Yang Guifei's hand had already taken root in her flesh, and she could not extricate herself from it.

Su Mingzhe burned the world in the painting as promised and released the sealed Yang Guifei.

"where is this place?"

Coming out of the painting world that she had long been bored with, Yang Guifei could not wait to rush out of the hut, only to be stunned by the sight of the yellow sand everywhere. She asked, "Is this not the underworld?"

"Yes, this is Huangquan."

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that Yang Guifei actually knew this place.

"When I was killed, my soul had already drifted here, but was later summoned back by that Japanese sorcerer."

Yang Guifei explained why she knew this place, and then asked: "I heard that living people cannot enter the underworld, how did you get in, young master?"

"I was hunted down and killed."

Su Mingzhe explained to Yang Guifei how he was being hunted by the Fifth Young Master Taotie.

Yang Guifei thought for a long time before she spoke:

"It seems that if we want to go out, we really can only practice well here."

Yang Guifei now particularly longs for the free world outside, but she is bound by a red thread of lovesickness and is only thinking about the man.

The two of them really began their secluded life in this place.

Time rolls forward again.

The years pass by quickly, and decades of glory are gone in the blink of an eye.

Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei practiced the Secret of Yin-Yang Inner Alchemy together, working diligently day and night.

The two of them had lived in seclusion for decades, and the tens of thousands of books they had placed in the space had all been read to pieces. Su Mingzhe naturally felt upset and could not sit still:
"After this skill was upgraded to level 49, there has been no progress for three to five years. Could it be that it has reached a bottleneck?"

Yang Guifei saw through the man's thoughts and comforted him:
“Young Master, you are gifted. In just a few decades, you have cultivated the Secret of Yin-Yang Inner Alchemy to perfection. As long as you break through the final bottleneck, you can ascend to the immortal world. You can’t let all your efforts go to waste.”

"I don't want to give up all my efforts, but I feel a little frustrated. I've been holding back on this last step for several years, and I don't know how to break through."

It is not easy for Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei to practice to this level behind closed doors.

"Sir, I have learned a new dance and will dance it for you."

Yang Guifei was indeed multi-talented. Not only could she accompany Su Mingzhe in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she could also sing and dance.

Among the various books and video materials brought by Su Mingzhe, there are thousands of dances from all over the world.

Over the years, every time Yang Guifei learned a dance, she would dance it for the men to see.

It is precisely because of Yang Guifei's long-term companionship that Su Mingzhe can maintain a good attitude and practice here with peace of mind.

After some singing and dancing, the two fell asleep in each other's arms again.

On the second day.

Su Mingzhe was still confused by the bottleneck in his cultivation.

Just as Su Mingzhe was about to pull Yang Guifei up and prepare for today's morning double practice, there was a sudden unusual noise outside.

"Amitabha!"

"Who's out there?"

Su Mingzhe waved his hand, and the clothes scattered on the ground were automatically put on for himself and the woman. He pushed open the door and saw a white-robed monk wearing a bamboo hat standing at the door:

"Amitabha, I am a nameless monk, and I want to go to Mengpo Village. I wonder if you know the direction?"

"Wuming? Great and virtuous monk?"

Su Mingzhe walked over and unceremoniously lifted the white-robed monk's hat.

It's really him.

Su Mingzhe suddenly felt happy and asked:

"Master Wuming, is today the Day of the Duckling?"

Su Mingzhe remembered that only on the day of the Great Autumn Festival would the passage between the underworld and the human world open, and only living people could enter the underworld.

Wuming came to the underworld on the day of Hell.

"Today is the day of the eagle."

The white-robed monk Wuming did not care about Su Mingzhe's rude behavior, but asked again: "Does the donor know how to get to Mengpo Village?"

"I don't know, but I advise you not to go."

Su Mingzhe thought of Wuming's ending and advised kindly:

"Master, I see that you are also a virtuous monk. You should practice cultivation in this world and ascend to the paradise as soon as possible. Why do you want to come to the underworld to seek death?"

"Amitabha, I have something I must do. I need to find Hades to retrieve something that she took away."

The white-robed monk gave a brief explanation, and without waiting for Su Mingzhe to continue persuading him, he clasped his hands together and floated away.

"Sir, who is this person?"

At some point, Yang Guifei also came out. She and Su Mingzhe had lived in this underworld for decades, and neither dared to take a step deeper into the underworld.

I didn't expect to meet a living person today, who would come to my house and die.

"A fool."

As a person from the later generations, Su Mingzhe still admired Wuming very much and could not help but sigh:
"It's a pity that with his passing, the world has lost a great monk and gained a cunning and shameless person."

"Sir, let's not worry about him. He said today is the day of the swan. Since he can come in, we can go out."

"That's right, let's get out of this damn place now."

Su Mingzhe and Yang Guifei lived in seclusion in the underworld for decades. In order to avoid being discovered by the underworld ghosts, they stayed nearby and dared not walk around.

Yang Guifei also set up illusions around them to prevent other ghosts from breaking in and disrupting their secluded life.

Wuming's arrival today was a reminder to the two that they could leave this damn place today.
