Chapter Thirty: A Preliminary Exploration of the Five Ridges
April, Longhu Mountain.
Three days before Zhang Mengmeng's foundation-building celebration meeting, Tianci and the others rushed to Longhu Mountain.
This time, Taoist Zhang not only invited various Taoist sects, but also rarely invited various Buddhist sects.
One is to celebrate the foundation building of the youngest foundation-building monk; more importantly, it is said that Zhang Tianshi has discovered a new 'Dongtian Blessed Land' and wants to invite all sects to discuss it.
The second piece of news is undoubtedly explosive. What does a new "cave heaven blessed land" mean? It means a strong spiritual energy of heaven and earth! In this era of exhausted spiritual power, if a sect can occupy it alone, it will inevitably take a few years.
It will become the largest sect in the entire cultivation world. Regardless of Taoism or Buddhism, all the sects will send their masters to inquire about the situation. Because of this, Zhang Mengmeng’s foundation celebration meeting was as grand as the entire cultivation meeting, lively and grand. Even
Xie Yuandao from Wudang's Baiyun Temple came over personally, bringing with him another elder in the foundation-building stage and three Qi-refining stage disciples.
Many sects even arrived four or five days in advance, hoping to get some information from Daoist Zhang in advance.
It can be seen that the major parties attach great importance to this matter.
Daochang Zhang had a very strict tone and did not reveal any information in advance. Even Zhang Mengmeng, his favorite, knew nothing about it.
After a grand and solemn celebration, all the foundation-building monks, including the youngest foundation-building female monk Zhang Mengmeng, as well as some Qi-refining phase monks, gathered in a magnificent hall. Looking at the main throne
Taoist Master Wen was sitting down, and everyone knew that the thing they were most concerned about was coming.
After Zhang Daochang cleared his throat, he explained what happened.
A month ago, several disciples of Tianshi Dao encountered a small mouse spirit during a religious activity. This was a small thing in itself, and the disciples did not take it seriously. However, the mouse spirit was extremely fast and was chasing
During the process, they broke into a cave. When the disciples chased them in, they found that the cave was very large and filled with spiritual energy, and there were many cultivating monsters inside. After a battle, the three disciples all escaped with injuries.
A seriously injured disciple passed away just before the celebration.
There were noisy voices discussing each other in the main hall. There were many cultivating demons, indicating that this place must be a treasure land with abundant spiritual power and huge space. It is very likely that it is a 'cave heaven blessed land'.
The next step is to discuss the distribution of benefits. According to what Taoist Zhang said, based on the scene that the disciples saw, there must be huge dangers inside. Tianshi Dao cannot monopolize it, so he called all his colleagues.
Since Tianshi Dao was the original discoverer and the convener of the event, he requested to monopolize 20%, and the remaining sects would be divided among them.
This is the rule of the cultivation world, so of course everyone has no problem. After briefly discussing the details of the action, everyone finally set off.
Wuling, which separates the Central Plains and the southern mountains, is the watershed between the Yangtze River water system and the Pearl River water system.
According to official history:
After the First Emperor unified the world, he ordered General Meng Tian to lead an army of 500,000 to build the Great Wall north to attack the Huns;
Tu Sui (sui) was ordered to be the chief general and Zhao Tuo was the deputy general. He led 500,000 troops to conquer Lingnan and Baiyue. Tu Sui's troops were divided into five groups and attacked southward. At first, the Qin army's attack went very smoothly. Three years later, the Qin army
Suddenly encountered strong resistance from the local indigenous people, the commander Tu Sui died in battle, and the Qin army suffered heavy losses. Ren Xiao succeeded Tu Sui, replenished his troops, built the Lingqu Canal, and invaded Baiyue and Lingnan one year later. After three years, Lingnan was basically pacified and Lingnan was established.
Three counties. Lingnan officially belonged to the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
Wuling, the place where the Qin army fought a bloody battle, also became the military fortress for the Central Plains Dynasty to control Lingnan in the future.
The ancients said:
"Master of the Five Ridges Hidden Blood Blade!"
The five ridges from east to west are: Dayu ridge (yu three sounds), Qitian ridge, Mengzhu ridge, Dupong ridge and Yuecheng ridge.
Goddess, Taoist Priest Wen and others are located at the Thunder King Hall, the second highest peak of Haiyang Mountain to the west of Doupang Ridge. Therefore, the mountain is named after frequent thunder and lightning.
As expected, everyone found a small cave in the woods on one side of the Thunder King Palace. According to the young Taoist priest next to Zhang Daozhang, this was the entrance.
Several powerful foundation-building monks opened the way ahead, leaving two young Taoist priests to guard, and everyone filed in.
Passing through a hazy circular passage, what appeared in front of everyone was a huge thatched house. I don’t know when the thatched house was built. It is now dilapidated. Through the dilapidated roof, you can see the gray sky above.
The sky is very different from the bright and sunny sky outside. Looking outside the thatched hut, there are still endless thatched huts, row after row, as if they are endless.
"The aura here is indeed stronger than outside, but it's not much different! It doesn't look like the Paradise of Cave Heaven!"
Tianci thought as he followed the crowd outside. In front of the rows of thatched cottages, there was a winding river, winding in front of the thatched cottages. On the opposite side of the river was a barren mountain, more like
It is a huge mound. There is not a stone or a big tree in the entire mountain, and there are yellow thatches everywhere. Several ancient roads lead from the thatched cottages at the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Looking at the mountain trend, the top of the mountain should be a circular platform.
The sky above my head is gray, and I don’t know if there is day or night here!
Everyone crossed the river and dispersed along several ancient roads to the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain is indeed a large oval platform. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking back at the way we came, we can see the rows of thatched houses at the foot of the mountain arranged in an orderly manner, along the river, extending to the end of the field of view, a desolate and lonely place.
Looking far into the distance on the other side of the oval platform, Tianci took a deep breath:
This barren mountain is like a huge dividing line, dividing two different worlds. On one side is a sky full of yellow grass, desolate and dilapidated, while on the other side is a lush and vibrant area. A piece of green flowers and trees full of vitality, from everyone
One side of the mountain top extends downward; at the foot of the mountain is a large plain of green and white; at the end of the plain is a series of countless peaks; one mountain after another, until the end of the field of vision.
I can’t count how many mountains there are. Some are shrouded in clouds and mist, some are lush, some are snow-capped, some are blood red; some are flat, some are sharp, some are steep, some are steep, some have waterfalls flying down from the top of the mountain, some are
The whole mountain is withered and yellow, but the same mountain has different colors up and down, left and right.
Tianci, like everyone else, stood on the top of the oval mountain, staring blankly at the mountains in the distance, feeling at a loss:
"Is this a fairyland? How come there are such large mountains?"
I don’t know who sighed involuntarily, expressing the thoughts of countless people.
A warm and warm wind blew gently towards everyone from the depths of the mountains. Bathing in the wind, an indescribable refreshing feeling filled the whole body.
"What a strong spiritual power!"
Tianci sighed involuntarily.
Everyone rushed down the mountain impatiently, while Tianci continued to feel the warm spiritual wind on the mountain. Looking at the people in a hurry, Tianci said to himself:
"This place is so big and we only have so many people, so why rush it?"
Seeing that everyone was almost at the foot of the mountain, Tianci slowly walked down the mountain along a stone road.
At the foot of the mountain is a large green and white plain. When he actually reached the plain, Tianci had to put away his leisurely attitude, holding the Dragon Subduing Wood in his hand, and carefully watched the surroundings. Because he discovered that the plain was indeed a plain.
The green ones are patches of green grass, but the patches of white are countless white bones. The bones are one after another, inlaid on the green grassland. Tianci feels that the entire grassland may be all white bones, but there are
Grass grew in the place. I gently picked up a piece of turf with the dragon tree. Sure enough, there were bones underneath the turf:
"In other words, this great plain is full of bones? How many lives must have died here?"
Tianci suddenly felt his scalp numb and swallowed deeply.
"I want to go back!"
This was the first thought in Tianci's heart. He was chased by a shadow in the Headless Foshan Mountain and almost died. This incident left a huge psychological shadow on Tianci. Tianci instinctively wanted to stay away from this kind of exploration:
"Live well, isn't it?
I can’t die until the revenge of the Lotus World has been avenged!”
He raised his head and looked at the many monks disappearing at the end of his field of vision:
"They have all passed. It seems there is no danger ahead. Let's take a walk first!"
Controlling spiritual power, he rose into the sky and flew forward slowly above the endless white bones. The further he moved forward, the more frightened he became. There were not only human bones, but also bones of various animals, some like cows and some like sheep.
, some resemble snakes, and some even resemble fish. All kinds of corpses, both seen and unseen, are densely covered in this plain that is several miles long.
"It looks like an ancient battlefield."
Tianci looked at the endless corpses and the occasionally exposed spears, swords, swords and other weapons among the corpses, and speculated in his heart:
"The handwriting on these weapons is the same as the seal script handwriting of the Qin Dynasty. Based on this, it can be inferred that they should be from the Qin army back then.
After the First Emperor unified the six countries, he ordered Tu Sui to march south with an army of 500,000. Three years later, the southern expedition army was defeated, Tu Sui was killed, and the army of 500,000 suffered heavy losses. Ren Xiao succeeded Tu Sui and began to cultivate the spirit of Chisel.
Canal, replenished troops, and pacified Lingnan a year later.
It seems that the Qin army is mainly attacking here!
If the Qin army really won, then why is there no historical record of this large territory? The history books clearly record that Ren Xiao won:
"In less than three years, Lingnan and Baiyue were pacified."
Does it mean that Tu Sui and Ren Xiao were fighting in different places and that their missions were different?
The goal of Tu Sui's army was this mysterious space, but he failed! But what was the purpose of Tu Sui's army to attack here? Is it for the pile of mountains in front? Where did these strange animal carcasses come from? The aborigines in the mountains
What?!
Tu Sui led his army to fight here. He wanted to conquer this place, but was resisted by the monsters in the mountains. The two sides fought here, and finally Tu Sui was defeated here..."
Tianci was thinking about it, making random guesses, and flying slowly close to the ground.
As he was flying, Tianci seemed to realize something and suddenly stopped; after thinking about it, he turned around and flew behind him, stopping in front of a strange corpse not far away.
This corpse is like many corpses on the plain. The armor and clothes on the body have long been weathered, leaving only a snow-white skeleton. However, this skeleton seems to be kneeling on one knee, with both hands holding the hilt of the sword in front of the body, and the hilt of the sword is hanging in the air.
'It was inserted into the ground, supporting the white skeleton. Tianci blew gently, and the white skeleton turned into powder in the wind. He grabbed the 'hanging' hilt and pulled it up smoothly.
