The underground caves of Ruiguang City are very deep and wide. In fact, they are slightly larger than Ruiguang City on the ground. When walking here, you are not allowed to use any divine tunnel techniques. People who enter can only rely on their own feet to move forward step by step.
Walk.
In addition to the ancient god Anshen who was suppressed here, there are also ancient reliefs and murals left over from the previous era and even further back, most of which are related to Anshen.
Yue Luo knew that the journey would be boring, so every time she came to a beautiful mural relief, she would stop for a moment to let people admire it, and tell some legends and stories she had heard. Although the road ahead was long, it was not too long.
People feel depressed, which in turn increases their expectations.
At this moment, she also discovered that there were more and more talismans on the light curtain, indicating that the number of people looking at her was also increasing, but she did not feel repelled, mainly because everyone was a Tianxia monk and they all had status, even if
Even if she wasn't happy, no one said anything inappropriate. After everyone showed up, they would greet her politely like a visitor.
As she went deeper underground, blood gradually appeared in the cave. Against the surrounding pearlescent light, it looked very dazzling and gave people a sense of discomfort.
There was a message on the light screen saying: "This color is so red, it is extremely abnormal."
But another monk left a message with great certainty: "That is the light of human blood. It should be human blood that has been processed by special means. Fellow Taoist Yue, I wonder if it is?"
Some people couldn't help but be surprised and said: "It would take so much human blood to be smeared..."
Yue Luo glanced at the man's talisman and then said: "Fellow Daoist Chen is right. It is said that when An Shen was still active in the world, he liked to devour spiritual creatures and blood sacrifices of human beings.
It is said that every time a sacrifice is made, there are often more than 10,000 people. But fortunately, it will fall into a deep sleep once it enjoys a sacrifice. During its sleep, its people and descendants of the gods will try their best to find sacrifices for it, because if there are not enough preparations,
, then it will be their turn to fill the gap."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised by the cruelty and savagery of this alien god.
Yue Luo continued: "Fortunately, the era changed and Anshen's kingdom collapsed, and the alien god fell into silence. Because of its cruelty, its people did not want it to wake up again, so they fell into silence after it.
A seal was placed on the land where Ruiguang City is now located.
But even so, these An people were still afraid that it would wake up again, so they built a ditch in this underground cave, and every once in a while, they would conduct a smaller-scale blood sacrifice, mixing human blood with a
The ointment was mixed together and poured into the ground.”
She pointed to a wide ditch above the ground, "Look, this is that ditch. Its flow direction imitates the flood river outside the west bank of the East Courtyard."
After a pause, she continued: "After we Tianxia people arrived, we also saw this river of blood that has not yet dried up. Because this river is very bloody and cruel, and can also affect people's minds, it was given to us by our Tianxia Taoist predecessors.
I managed to erase it, but there are still some original traces, fellow Taoists can take a look."
Everyone looked around, and even if there was no oil and blood flowing in it, they could still see the bright red color in the ditch, which was terrifying.
Yue Luo said: "In front of you is the soothing place. Fellow Taoists, please pay attention. I came here last time, and I had to quit after a short time there. I don't know if I can stay here this time."
how long."
When everyone heard her say this, they were filled with anticipation and curiosity.
At this time, Yue Luo leaned forward slightly, holding on to the top wall with her hands, and walked along a long, dark, low and depressing corridor. For a while, everyone could only hear her breathing.
I don't know how long it took, but I just heard her say: "We're here."
After saying these words, Yue Luo also walked out of the passage and entered a huge cave hall. Then everyone felt that a huge body suddenly broke into their field of vision. An ancient god was leaning against the stone wall.
His eyes were closed tightly, as if he was sleeping there, and he still possessed an astonishing power.
Several disciples with low cultivation levels couldn't help but let out low exclamations of surprise.
Even through the light curtain, they could feel the ferocity and hostility coming from the wilderness rushing straight in front of them, and those with weaker cultivation even turned a little pale.
When Yue Luo arrived here, her breathing became rapid. It was obvious that this alien god could no longer pose a threat to her, but she still felt a deep pressure and felt that she could no longer get closer.
Some monks were surprised and asked: "Fellow Daoist Yue, this thing... is this thing still alive?"
Yue Luo calmed down and said: "Anshen is dead. When he was still the Protectorate of Dongting, he found out that Anshen was being suppressed under Ruiguang City, so he reported it to the local people, and a powerful man came forward to suppress his soul.
And borrowed the remaining power to harmonize the climate of the entire Protectorate.
In the 374th year of the Great Xuan Calendar, the Restoring God Society took advantage of the time when the Protectorate's Mansion was cut off from contact with the mainland, and used evil rituals to awaken this ancient god, with the intention of destroying the Dongting Protectorate established by Tianxia in the Far Continent.
Mansion, in the end this god was personally killed by Xuanting Zhang Shouzheng, the Xuanshou of Dongtingxuanfu at that time, who is now the Xuanshou of Dongtingfuzhou."
At this point, she briefly talked about how the Dongting Protectorate was far away overseas and had been blocked from contact with the mainland for eighty years due to the turbid tide, but in the end it still insisted on lighting the beacon.
Because she had been moved when she heard this record at the time, she spoke sincerely when she mentioned this episode, and her voice was very contagious. Everyone who was present and listening felt sorry for the Dongting Tianxia people who were living outside at that time.
Extremely grateful.
People who didn't know much about Dongting took the opportunity to ask what was going on in the Restoration of Gods Association, where exactly Dongting Fuzhou was, and who was the Xuanshou of Dongting Fuzhou.
And what she said here was naturally seen by the Xuanxiu responsible for guarding here, and gradually attracted the attention of the upper-level monks of Dongting Xuanfu.
Xiang Chun was reviewing documents in the main hall. He had to arrange the recent construction of Xinzhou government, the resettlement of a large number of migrant populations, and various aspects of defense. It can be said that there were many matters.
At this time, there was sudden movement in Dao Xuanzhang, and he asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"Master, please look at the Seal of Mingguan that fell just below, and then look at the Xuanfu disciple named Yue Luo."
Xiang Chun immediately looked at the Seal of Ming Guan. When this seal appeared just now, it seems that a cultivator like him, who has a deep spiritual practice, mastered the use of this seal almost immediately.
However, although he thought a lot from this, he was not sensitive to it and had no interest in doing anything.
In other words, decades of monasticism have gradually polished their state of mind to a harmonious and stable state, and they no longer have the easily moved and agitated emotions of young monastics.
After he found Yue Luo's talisman, as soon as he felt it, he saw a screen of light appear, and then he heard Yue Luo talking about the old events of the Dongting Protectorate.
Xu Ying's voice came out at this time: "Nonsense!" He said: "Brother, let's not talk about the matter at hand, the ancient gods are very involved. It is really outrageous for this disciple to spread the word like this without permission.
Got it!"
Xiang Chun said in a deep voice: "I think it's very good. The ancient gods have died long ago, so this is not a big deal, but it can let people know about my power in the East Courtyard.
There is nothing wrong with what she said now. Although there are many people coming to my East Courtyard now, and many comrades coming, they are all transferred by Xuanting. Those who really come by themselves are very rare.
We want to expand Dongting into a Fuzhou no less than Thirteen Shangzhou, but we still don't have enough people.
Why are there so few people coming now? It’s because many people in the local area don’t know much about Dongting, thinking that I am a remote place, and are unwilling to come here. Now there are disciples who take the initiative to spread the word to the outside world and make Dongting famous.
Isn't it a good thing to attract more people to come?"
Xu Yingdao: "But this matter... there is no precedent after all."
Xiang Chun nodded and said: "I know what junior brother is worried about, but Xuanshou didn't say anything about it. Since Xuanshou agreed to this seal, what changes will happen? Xuanshou must have expected it. Such things are not
Take a look first and don't disturb her."
Xu Ying suddenly fell silent.
Yiluo Shangzhou, within a certain station in Sizhou.
Ban Lan stood in the lobby with his hands behind his back, and a light curtain was opened in front of him. He looked at Yue Luo, laughing and talking about many rumors in the East Courtyard, and said to himself: "This Seal of Mingguan is of great use.
ah."
He Li said behind him: "Yes, sir, if you use this Seal of Mingguan, with your style and cultivation, you will definitely be able to attract more colleagues. This will help to enhance your reputation. We
You can also accumulate more merit with this."
The more he talked, the more excited he became. Originally, if he had just used words to speak, he felt that it would be difficult for Ban Lan to fully utilize his advantages.
You know, there are many people in the world who judge people by their appearance. Even if they are a bad person and have done many evil deeds, as long as they are good-looking, they can be forgiven and sympathized with.
Not to mention, Ban Lan's identity has not been exposed now, and he is still a pure spiritual practitioner. If he shows up and speaks out, the harvest will be far greater than before.
Ban Lan said: "This matter is not urgent." He turned around, "But you, haven't you noticed that you have been targeted recently?
"What?" He Li was startled and said, "I asked myself what I haven't exposed..."
Ban Lan said lightly: "That's natural. If there was clear evidence, they would have arrested you long ago, and they wouldn't wait until now."
He Li hesitated for a moment and said, "That subordinate..."
Ban Lan said: "You don't need to deliberately change anything, otherwise it will expose flaws. I will leave everything to others recently. You can just let nature take its course. After the limelight has passed, I will arrange things for you."
He Li exhaled and said, "Yes, sir." He did not dare to say any more at this moment, bowed and then withdrew.
Ban Lan turned back and continued to look at the light screen, but this time, his eyes were focused on Yue Luo, and he said to himself: "It is indeed interesting, but people are even more interesting."
