The walls were made of black gold and inlaid with pearls and stones. The carriage was spacious and bright, as if it was daytime inside.
But there was only emptiness and silence in the light of the pearls and stones. It was not like what Mengqi and others had guessed before, where there was an immortal trying to escape from the Celestial World through the Celestial River.
There was no time to think. Mengqi's mane moved slightly and the muscles of the Pegasus contracted slightly. It seemed that it was about to wake up.
The thunderbolt mark on the back of Mengqi's hand appeared. He disguised the breath of the ancient Thunder God and rushed to the carriage with the help of the water film. At the same time, he said to his companions,
"Get into the carriage!"
In fact, there was no need for Mengqi's reminder. Ruan Yushu, Qi Zhengyan, and others had also thought of this. The Pegasus seemed to have a special talent. It could travel through the void and roam the Milky Way without Dharmakaya. Once it set off, Snake Dang would not be able to catch up with it even if it had a hundred pairs of wings.
Mengqi took the lead and pulled out his doppelganger to test the Restrictive Spell in the carriage. Jiang Zhiwei's breath rose and she struggled to hold the Sea Calming Pearl.
With this escape method, there was no need for her to take the risk of a sneak attack!
After all, Snake Dang was already a zombie. The Sea Calming Pearl's main function was to disturb the Vital Spirit, smash the body, and stabilize the water flow. Even if the python was smashed, it might not be killed.
The doppelganger entered the carriage without triggering any Restrictive Spell. Mengqi was relieved and jumped into the carriage. Ruan Yushu, Qi Zhengyan, and Zhao Heng entered one after another. Jiang Zhiwei also stepped on the edge.
At this moment, a horrible and cold breath approached. A huge snake head that occupied the entire pond poked in. Its eyes were scarlet like before. White-haired zombie and Luo Shengyi's shadows were hidden deep inside. They were very afraid of Mengqi's "I, the Unique and Righteous"!
The pressure of the Half-step to Dharmakaya made Mengqi and the others feel cold to the bone. Their blood vessels stiffened and their Primordial Spirits became slightly sluggish. Not to mention that the venom was about to spray out and contaminate the surroundings. The Pegasus had just woken up and had yet to gallop!
Standing on the edge of the carriage, Jiang Zhiwei's eyes were indifferent without fear. She held the Sea Calming Pearl that was glowing with colorful light and looked like she was going to smash it.
Snake Dang had suffered greatly from the treasures of Mengqi and others. Seeing the appearance of the Oceanic Dominion Pearl, it subconsciously shrank its head and dodged first. However, it was a little reluctant and hesitant. Its giant mouth seemed to be exerting the power to devour the Heavens. It was willing to sacrifice its body to get the Lucky Chance!
Mengqi's mind was calm. His movements of wielding the long saber became gentle, and his pupils became deep and serene. Streaks of resplendent starlight streaked across, illusory and mysterious.
The Blade of No Solution, Fruits of Karma!
When he looked at Snake Dang again, it was not quite the same as before. Not many karma lines spread out, most of which had dissipated with its death. The remaining karma lines were less than ten, but one of them was very conspicuous. It was thick, solid, and illusory. Its brilliance was tainted with darkness and extended into the distance.
Being stared at by Mengqi, Snake Dang felt a chill. Coupled with the power of the Oceanic Dominion Pearl, the huge snake head suddenly shrank.
Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Zhiwei hooked her left foot and the door closed with a snap.
The awakening of the Pegasus seemed to have seamlessly continued the scene of the past. Without any hesitation, the horses stepped out and entered the Heavenly River. As the Invisible Water submerged the carriage, it glowed with a misty green light. The Restrictive Spell was activated and the carriage was tightly sealed.
The four Pegasus raised their heads and neighed. They suddenly galloped through the vast Heavenly River.
Their bodies suddenly became illusory, as if they had entered a mysterious passage!
Only then did Mengqi let out a sigh of relief. Snake Dang's strange karma line was terrible. If he had stuck close to it, he would not have been able to withstand it and would have died with it. Scaring it away was the best result!
He looked at the carriage and finally had a question. Did Old Pig prepare the carriage for him? Or did someone else leave the carriage?
If it was the former, Old Pig had been burned to ashes by the Grand Sun for so many years. It was definitely much better for him to escape alone than the Pegasus. If it was the latter, when did the immortal inside leave? When or after the fall of the Heavenly Court, or before or after Meng Qi and the others came in?
Snake Dang's huge head poked into the carriage again. All he could see was the slightly swaying water of the Heavenly River.
It roared angrily and shook the Heavenly River, but it was useless!
…
Four Pegasus horses pulled the golden carriage, appearing and disappearing in the illusory Heavenly River. They stepped on the water and shuttled back and forth.
On a planet covered with ocean, land, and green trees, a dozen strangely dressed humans gathered in front of a relic.
The leader pointed at the relic and said with fervor and assurance, "This is an altar built by the ancient ancestors to worship the gods and receive blessings. In many ancient books, there are many records of immortals coming to this place. We can use it to restore the customs, social conditions, beliefs, and the relationship between tribes of the ancient ancestors."
Some of the people around took out small notebooks and took notes carefully. Some looked at the altar curiously. Some wore simple and mysterious patterns on their crowns. Some raised their heads and looked at the blue sky, daydreaming about the life of the ancient ancestors.
Suddenly, the man who looked up at the sky stammered, as if he could not speak. Before the rest of the people had time to react, they saw a streamer with a long flame tail descending from the sky. But it was not as fast as a meteor. Instead, it was slow and calm, as if it was inspecting the world.
"The pattern of the Mystic Bird carved on the altar is the symbol of this ancient tribe. Later on, it was merged and evolved …" The lecturer saw that the students in front of him were all in a daze and immediately realized that something was wrong. Soon after, he felt light sprinkling on his body, as if something was descending behind him.
He turned around subconsciously and looked at the altar blankly. He saw four white horses with fluttering manes dragging the sacred and dignified golden chariot, stepping on the belt of light and "slowly" landing on the altar.
"This …" Everyone present was speechless, as if they had fallen into a dream.
The Pegasus rested for a while and then let out a long neigh again, activating the formation to help itself. Its four hooves flew up into the sky, its figure turning illusory and dissipating among the clouds.
The night seemed to have arrived early. The bright Heavenly River appeared, and a streamer flashed past, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
On another planet, yellow sand filled the sky, and a tall tower stood tall.
A few men who looked like priests stood in a small room at the top of the tower, looking down at the magnificent and desolate scenery.
"Tomorrow is the Sacrificial Ceremony again," one of the priests sighed.
Another smiled and said, "Anyway, it's just for show. Don't be nervous."
As soon as they finished speaking, they suddenly stared blankly at a shooting star in the sky, getting bigger and bigger. They could clearly see the majestic white horse and the golden chariot, feeling the sacred and dignified atmosphere.
The Pegasus landed on the top of the tower and rested in front of the stunned priests, looking disdainful.
After a while, they all stepped on the ground, and the tower shone brightly, covering the horses' bodies.
The Pegasus leaped into the sky again, running quickly into the void, leaving behind the statue-like priests.
…
After a short pause, the Pegasus leaped into the Heavenly River. Suddenly, it floated up and crashed into a whirlpool.
The chariot stopped completely. Mengqi and the others sensed their surroundings through the carriage, and found no danger, so they opened the door and walked out.
At this moment, the voice of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms was heard again.
"You have left the battle and completed your mission. You can return immediately, or stay for an hour. During this period, you can choose to return regardless of whether you are in a battle or not."
Feeling relieved, Mengqi looked around. He felt that the sky was very blue, and the air was very clear. There was an indescribable feeling, as if he had returned to the world of the Journey to the West!
Nearby was a dilapidated village. There was no sign of human habitation, only a horrible stench.
Without caring about anything else, Mengqi looked back at the Pegasus, and Ruan Yushu was also looking at them with bright eyes.
These are "treasures", they can travel in the starry sky!
As soon as he thought of this, Mengqi heard the long neigh of the Pegasus. He saw them suddenly rush up, stirring up a strong wind, blowing them away, and quickly disappearing into the sky.
"Their senses are really sharp …" Mengqi curled his lips. Just now, he was thinking of a way to keep the Pegasus and bring it back to his own world, but they had already run away!
Jiang Zhiwei smiled. After the secret method failed, her breath had become weak, just like Mengqi. At this moment, she turned to look at the village not far away, and saw that the Boston ivy was infested, and every house was "submerged" in green.
She tried her best to identify the board through the gaps, and read in a low voice,
"Gao … Lao … Zhuang …"
"Gao Lao Zhuang?" Mengqi looked over in surprise. "The destination of the Pegasus is Gao Lao Zhuang?
It really has something to do with Old Pig! "
"Let's go in and have a look." Mengqi took a deep breath, and dragged his tired and weak body over.
This time, it was Ruan Yushu and the others' turn to lead the way and cover the retreat. They did not doubt Mengqi's choice, and planned to search for more items in an hour to earn more Karma points.
After tearing apart the Boston ivy, the door of the village was already rotten, and it would be broken with a gentle push.
After passing through many houses, Mengqi and the others found items in ruins, and some even rotted into mud.
After walking for a while, they entered the core area of the village, and found a small building that seemed to be a library, and a wing room that seemed to be the owner's residence.
"Let's go to the library first. Maybe there's a collection of martial arts there," Mengqi suggested.
Others might not know, but he knew that Gao Lao Zhuang was Old Pig's "maiden home", and he might really put some books here!
"Hmm." Ruan Yushu was quite interested in the music of the Journey to the West. Even if it was not a martial art, he still wanted to take a look. He followed Zhao Heng and Mengqi carefully into the library, and went up to the second floor.
They were careful because the floor was rotten, and the slightest force would cause it to collapse.
As far as the eye could see, the second floor was full of books, and all of them were yellowed paper.
Mengqi glanced around and suddenly saw something. On the desk by the window, there was a book with a dark blue cover, and it looked a little old.
Jiang Zhiwei and the others split up to search for useful items. Mengqi walked over and picked up the book. There were three ancient seal scripts on the cover.
"Tao Te Ching!"
"Tao can be taught, but not the Tao …" Mengqi flipped through the book and found that it was no different from the "Tao Te Ching" circulating in the market in his own world, except that it was an ancient book.
Just then, Zhao Heng exhaled. "These books are too old, and will break at the slightest touch. We have to wrap them with genuine Qi and pick them up carefully. But there are no useful books."
"These books are too old …" Mengqi glanced at the "Tao Te Ching" and vaguely felt that it was strange, but there was nothing wrong with it, except that it was not too old.
He was puzzled, and called Jiang Zhiwei and the others over to look, but they all confirmed that it was a normal book.
"Normal books …" Mengqi thought for a while, and put it into the Space Ring first. There was still space to store it anyway.
After an hour, after a round of searching, the team of five still could not find anything valuable. Judging from the traces, there had been several groups of monsters here, and thieves would not leave empty-handed!
The Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms did not delay, and his voice sounded directly.
"The main task is completed. Each person will be awarded 3,500 Karma points."
"Return."
The light beam fell and healed everyone's injuries. Mengqi quickly recovered from his weakness.
Just then, he heard the indifferent voice of the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms again.
"The next task is a Death Task, and it will start in one year. Please be prepared."
"For this task, you can only use your own martial arts and weapons, and you can only prepare one Taoist robe and other protective gear and healing elixirs."
