Strange world, I can seal the gods

Chapter 1129 Mysterious Place

Chapter 1129 Mysterious Place

Cui Yu was a little panicked at this moment, thinking that he was careless. If he had known this would happen, he would not have taken down the Heaven and Earth Ring. Looking at Tan Taiming who was chanting in front of him, Cui Yu had countless thoughts in his mind: "He should have been exposed by now? Should I kill him or not?"

Just when Cui Yu was struggling, Tan Taiming spoke, and his words instantly suppressed Cui Yu's murderous intent: "I have temporarily loosened the Heaven and Earth Ring's restraint on you. Show me your Five Elements magical power and demonstrate the Five Elements Escape Technique first."

Cui Yu put aside his murderous intent upon hearing this, then glanced at Tan Taiming, clasped his fists and said respectfully, "Disciple obeys your command."

Tan Taiming would never know that he had just stepped into the Hall of Yama.

The next moment, Cui Yu was seen using the art of escape, hiding underground, then hiding in the grass and trees nearby, and then hiding in the gravel.

After a demonstration, Cui Yu appeared in front of Tan Taiming again and said respectfully, "Please give me some advice, old ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Tan Taiming looked Cui Yu up and down, praising him: "What a magical power! What a magical power!"

Then he looked Cui Yu up and down with an inexplicable look in his eyes, thinking to himself: "My life is coming to an end. If I can't steal the ginseng fruit, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to see a higher realm. Since this person has cultivated the Five Elements Escape Technique, it just happens to be of great use to me."

"Are you willing to take me as your master?" Tan Taiming stared at Cui Yu and suddenly spoke.

Cui Yu was stunned by what Tan Taiming said. Tan Taiming clearly wanted to kill him before, so why did he suddenly want to take him as his disciple?

Cui Yu cursed in his heart:

"This old guy has bad intentions!"

His face showed a hint of excitement, and he knelt down on the ground: "If I can be lucky enough to become your disciple, or even have the great opportunity I have been looking for, I am willing to serve you and go through fire and water for you, even if it means anything."

Tan Taiming was very satisfied with Cui Yu's performance, so he stroked his beard and said, "Since you want to take me as your master, I still need to give you a test. If you can do it, I will accept you as my personal disciple and teach you the highest secrets of my Wuzhuang Temple, so that you can hope to step into the Golden Commandment Avenue."

"Please test me, ancestor." Cui Yu seemed to be very fanatical, and his voice was trembling.

"Later I will arrange for you to go to a mysterious place to do odd jobs. There are five old ancestors in that mysterious place all year round, guarding a mysterious formation. The five old ancestors have five keys on them. The five keys are the restrictions to open the formation. I want you to use the Five Elements Escape Technique to find an opportunity to steal the five keys. If you can accomplish this, you will be my apprentice in the future!" Tan Taiming's voice was full of temptation: "Are you willing?"

"Disciple is willing!" When Cui Yu heard what Tan Taiming said, a thought flashed through his mind: "The mysterious place this guy is talking about...could it be the place where the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror is enshrined?"

Countless thoughts kept flashing through Cui Yu's mind, and his face showed the tenacity of a fanatical believer.

But then he heard Tan Taiming say, "Do you know what will happen if your action fails? You will definitely be caught by the five ancestors and have your soul extracted, refined, and lit as a sky lantern. That is a disaster from which there is no recovery."

"Disciple understands. If I am caught by the five ancestors by accident, I will commit suicide directly and will never implicate the master." Cui Yu said hurriedly.

Tan Taiming stared at Cui Yu with a pair of eyes, feeling very satisfied. He had made up his mind that no matter whether the man named Cui Yu could succeed or not, he would not let him live. He would definitely kill him to silence him. After all, once he stole the ginseng fruit, Wuzhuang Temple would search for him everywhere.

"I'd be glad if you had such determination. One must seize every opportunity to move forward in life to have a chance to stand out. Now I'm giving you the chance. As for whether you can seize it, it depends on your own ability. Of course, if something happens to you and you're caught by those five ancestors, don't blame me for not saving you. Even if you try to blame me, I will never admit it. You have to bear all the risks yourself." Tan Taiming admonished Cui Yu slowly.

Cui Yu couldn't help cursing in his heart when he heard this: "This bastard is really abominable. I have to bear all the risks and crises, but he just stays out of it. Whether my work succeeds or not, it doesn't matter to him at all."

"Disciple understands. If anything goes wrong, all the responsibilities will be borne by the disciple, and the master will never be implicated." Cui Yu hurriedly expressed his sincerity. His most important thing now was to find out where that mysterious place was and what treasure was suppressed there that made this old guy so concerned.

Tan Taiming looked at Cui Yu and was very satisfied with him. It was obvious that Cui Yu was a smart man, and it was easy to talk to smart people.

"Unfortunately, even if you succeed in doing this, I can't let you stay." Tan Taiming looked at Cui Yu, who was kneeling on the ground with a respectful look on his face, but he sneered secretly in his heart.

How could he leave such a big tail for himself?

"Well, you just wait for three to five days, and I will make arrangements for you then." Tan Taiming glanced at Cui Yu, then turned and left without a trace. As for the restriction of the Heaven and Earth Ring on Cui Yu, Tan Taiming selectively forgot about it.

Cui Yu felt a little uneasy when he saw Tan Taiming walking away. He then took out the Heaven and Earth Ring and put it on his wrists and feet: "Don't lose sight of the big picture because of the small details! The Heaven and Earth Ring is just an unnecessary restraint for me. I can take it off with a thought, so why should I expose such a flaw?"

Cui Yu put on the Heaven and Earth Ring, but found that the Heaven and Earth Ring was just hanging on his body and did not stop the divine power in his body from flowing. He thought to himself, "Perhaps Tan Taiming left this flaw on purpose so that I can use the Five Elements Escape Technique to steal the treasure. If I fail, and the high-level officials of Zhenwu Mountain investigate in the future, Tan Taiming can use this to cover up the matter. This bastard won't take any loss! He doesn't want to take any risk at all."

But Cui Yu was not in a hurry. General Tan Tai would send him to that mysterious place. Maybe he would have a chance to find the treasure mirror of heaven and earth.

Three days passed in a flash. Just when Cui Yu was thinking about his cheap sister-in-law, he saw two young men in Taoist robes approaching him and looking down at him: "Are you the newly captured slave in the Punishment Hall?"

"That's right." Cui Yu said respectfully. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Showing a good attitude will not hurt you.

"Follow me!" The two disciples grabbed Cui Yu's left shoulder and right shoulder respectively, and then they flew up into the air. The mountains and rivers under their feet kept retreating, and after a quarter of an hour they finally arrived in front of a towering mountain.

The two disciples stopped their magical powers in front of the mountain, landed at the foot of the mountain, and then climbed the mountain on foot to lead the way.

As he took steps forward, he climbed up and down the stairs one after another. It took him half a day to finally see a Taoist temple in the misty area ahead.

The Taoist temple was ancient and simple, and because it was hidden in the clouds and mist, Cui Yu could not see it clearly.

"Your task in the future will be to clean this Taoist temple and be responsible for the sundries in the temple, but remember not to go to the backyard at will." The two Taoists led Cui Yu to the gate and pointed inside the Taoist temple and said something to Cui Yu.

"go in!"

Another Taoist priest urged.

Cui Yu looked at the Taoist temple in front of him and stepped in without hesitation, but saw the two Taoists sitting in front of the gate, seemingly meditating and practicing Qi, or perhaps preventing Cui Yu from escaping.

"Why does it feel weird?" Cui Yu stepped into the Taoist temple, only to see that there was no grass growing in the temple, not even a single weed. There was only some dust on the ground, making it look a little untidy.

Cui Yu showed a hint of surprise in his eyes: "This Taoist temple is so desolate, there are not even ants."

He possessed the Taoist fruit of life and death, and any breath of life could not escape his control, but he did not find any sign of life in this Taoist temple.

Cui Yu looked around the building in front of him. It was no different from the Taoist temple he had seen in his previous life. The only difference was that this Taoist temple only had three entrances.

"Could this be the mysterious place that Tan Taiming arranged for me?" Cui Yu was curious.

Then Cui Yu strolled around the Taoist temple for a while and finally came to the backyard, but saw that the backyard door was locked. There was a flashing ban on the lock. It was obvious that this was a golden lock specifically used to prevent supernatural powers.

"How strange! How strange!" Cui Yu looked at the golden lock on the gate and was amazed. "I wonder what's in the backyard that makes it so mysterious."

Cui Yu was looking at the gate, feeling strange, when he suddenly heard an old voice: "Didn't the people outside tell you? You are not allowed to peek into the backyard. Stay away from the gate."

Cui Yu was shocked when he heard this and turned around quickly, only to see an old Taoist priest in yellow clothes looking at him with calm eyes.

The old Taoist priest was very old, as old as a candle in the wind, which seemed like it could be extinguished by the wind at any time.

"This old guy has lived for at least five thousand years! The old aura on his body... seems to have reached the end of his life, and has already begun the five decays of the celestial being. The most important thing is that this old guy is actually at the peak of the White Command, and is just a little bit away from entering the realm of the Golden Command. This shouldn't be the case. Isn't the life span of a celestial being one hundred and ninety-six hundred years? This old guy has only lived for five thousand years and has already entered the five decays of the celestial being? It's very abnormal!" Cui Yu speculated secretly in his heart, but his hands were not slow, and he quickly bowed respectfully: "Disciple greets the ancestor. I don't know the ins and outs of this, so please don't blame me."

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist just glanced at Cui Yu coldly, then walked past Cui Yu, came to the wall on one side, and his figure flashed and fell on the wall, turning into a portrait.

Cui Yu was stunned when he saw this scene. He saw five portraits of old Taoist priests on the wall, staring at him with expressionless eyes.
