Past the Gate of Light is a valley. At first glance, this valley looks nothing special. There is a large bluestone slab where everyone is, which looks like a martial arts training ground. Walking forward along the bluestone slab, there is a road lined on both sides.
The stone road with many stone houses extends to a mountain about ten miles away.
The mountain is majestic and towering, with countless pines and cypresses planted in an orderly manner, making it lush and green. There is a towering tree at the foot of the mountain, which is almost as high as half the mountain.
At the end of the stone road are steps, one step at a time, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Every few hundred steps there is a small white stone platform, and there is a statue on each platform. These statues have different shapes.
There are people and beasts, civil and military people, monks and beggars... Wu Jie even saw that one of the statues was just a big stone. He really didn't understand what was going on.
His vision was far sharper than that of ordinary people, and he could easily see the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain. He saw a small palace on the top of the mountain, and the stone steps extended all the way into the palace. He didn't know who lived in the palace.
No matter the platform, stone steps or palace, at first glance, there is nothing special, but the statues on those platforms are a little special. Although most of the statues are nothing special, there are some statues that are very special. When Wu Jie glanced over,
There was a faint feeling in my heart, as if I saw something dangerous and powerful.
"In those statues, there is a fragment of the strong man's soul." Du Xin said, "It is similar to our original method, which was a very famous method in that era."
"What's the use of this kind of split soul?"
"They symbolize an oath. In order to obtain a certain benefit, or to repay a favor, or because he was forced to have no choice but to do so, the strong man separated a ray of his soul and left it on this stone statue as a witness. That stone statue cannot be used to persecute him.
But he can exert the power equivalent to his full blow at critical moments - of course, it's one-time."
"Once the strong man completes the agreement, the separated soul on the stone statue will automatically leave and return to its original owner. Or perhaps the power of the stone statue is used up, and the separated soul will also leave." Du Xin said lightly.
, "When the Great Guangming Sect was at its peak, there were thirty-six stone statues like this at the mountain gate."
When Wu Jie heard this, he counted them secretly and couldn't help but be a little speechless.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are one hundred and eight stone statues!
If the number of stone statues is directly linked to the strength of the sect, the strength of Wuhui Valley at its peak was three times that of the Great Guangming Sect!
He was filled with astonishment, and he couldn't help but look up from the foot of the mountain carefully. At this glance, he saw something suspicious - one of the stone statues was the Holy Goddess before she became Du Xin!
"Strange! Why is there a statue of you?"
Du Xin naturally saw the statue. She shook her head and said, "That's not me, that's the protector of the Great Light Sect before me."
"It turns out that the guardian generals of the Great Guangming Sect also come from generation to generation!"
"That's right, although we have the same appearance, our powers are different. It's a pity that the split soul in the statue is no longer there, and the power contained cannot be felt. Otherwise, I can tell which generation of the guardian general it is.
." Du Xin said, suddenly stunned for a moment, and then slowly said after a moment, "I think... I know where this place is..."
Just as she was thinking silently, among the monks who came in one after another, some could not help but rise into the sky, wanting to fly to the mountain with the escape light.
In their opinion, the palace on the top of the mountain is naturally the residence of the master of Wuhui Valley who abandoned the sword.
But before they could fly far, an old voice shouted angrily: "How dare you, the younger generation, be so rude!"
Following this angry shout, all the monks flying in the sky felt a sudden weight of tens of millions of kilograms on their bodies. No matter how high their magic power was, how powerful their magical powers were, or how powerful their protective magical weapons were, they could not withstand it.
This sudden pressure caused everyone to fall to the ground.
Among them, those who were lucky enough to be caught by someone could still retain their dignity; those who were unlucky were thrown to the stone floor and fell into a state of disarray. The worst one may have had a bad luck in the year, and he was in good shape when he fell.
He hit the ground with a bang and his head was bleeding. He lay on the ground groaning and couldn't get up for a while.
Seeing this scene, many people were stunned. The monk was surrounded by Gang Qi, and he was obviously a figure in the Lian Gang realm. And the Lian Gang monk must have a flawless body. No matter how weak he looks, his body is actually far stronger than a rock.
Harder. Under normal circumstances, if he hits his head, it will only hit the stone slab, and his whole body will be stuck on the ground like a green onion. It will never be so miserable. Could it be that... there is something weird about the stone slabs on the ground? Many monks have
He must be an action person, so more than one person used various means to hit the ground.
There was only a rumble and crackling sound, and whether it was a spell or a magic weapon, it was bounced out when it hit the stone floor, without any impact on these ordinary-looking bluestone slabs.
Wu Jie was catching Yi Shou who fell from the sky at that time, so he did not take action. However, he saw that Yi Ti had thrown a golden short cone and hit the stone slab at his feet.
This is a magical weapon called "Breaking Golden Cone". It is not very powerful, but it is particularly good at breaking through. Even if it is used in the hands of a monk who has entered the Dao, it can easily penetrate steel. But Yi Ti, a monk who relies on the power of refining, can hit it with a single blow.
, but only heard a ding, the broken golden vertebra was bounced back, and even the light dimmed a bit.
"This slate is so hard!" This scene was not only seen by Wu Jie and the others, but also by the surrounding monks. Most of them were knowledgeable, and several of them immediately exclaimed.
Seeing this scene, many monks gave up their plans to test it. Instead, they carefully observed the bluestone slab under their feet and came up with the idea of digging up a piece and taking it away.
A stone that is so hard is obviously a natural treasure. If you can get away one piece, even if you cannot learn the Supreme Sword, your trip will not be in vain!
At this moment, Du Xin, who was deep in thought, finally found information that matched this place from the depths of his memory.
"This is the mausoleum of the Holy Emperor!" Because she was so excited, she couldn't even maintain her usual calm expression, and her voice was a bit louder, "This is the mausoleum of the Holy Emperor Li Xin!"
Wu Jie was startled by these words and hurriedly asked what happened.
"The guardians and generals of our Great Guangming Sect are all inhuman beings. Under normal circumstances, they will definitely stay in the religion and will not leave at all. The statues of the guardians that appear here can only be officially provided by the Great Guangming Religion at that time.
And in my impression, among all the Dharma protectors in the past, only three handed over the oath stone statues."
Du Xin spoke in a deep tone: "The first generation of Dharma Protector General, her stone statue is used as a symbol of the truce between our religion and Buddhism, and is enshrined in Buddhism's Xiaobodhi Mountain Lingtai Temple; the seventh generation of Dharma Protector God General, that is me, my stone statue
It is enshrined in the Taoist holy land Tingdao Mountain. This is neither Lingtai Temple nor Tingdao Mountain, so the stone statue is naturally not ours."
"Apart from us, the only one who made an oath to separate his soul was the sixth-generation Dharma Protector General. Together with the leader of the sect and four elders at that time, she separated a ray of soul and made an oath to do whatever it takes to do so.
Do your best to help His Majesty the Holy Emperor protect the peace of the world - in history, when the Holy Emperor was dying, he visited all the experts in the world and convinced many of them. These one hundred and eight stone statues should be those who were persuaded by him to make the decision.
Remained by the sworn masters."
Wu Jie listened to what she said so well that he naturally had no doubts at all. But when he looked up at the towering green mountains, at the platforms along the way, and at the statues left by the senior masters on the platforms, he couldn't help but be filled with uneasiness.
A sense of reality.
In his imagination, the mausoleum of the Holy Emperor Li Xin should be so luxurious and domineering that it would make people worship him and wish they could gather all the treasures in the world here - in short, he is a nouveau riche.
But the Holy Emperor's mausoleum he saw at this moment was neither luxurious nor domineering. If Du Xin, an insider, had not reminded him, Wu Jie would never have imagined that this was the burial place of the greatest hero in Kyushu!
He took a deep breath and looked at the green mountain with eyes filled with admiration.
There is almost no one in Kyushu who does not respect the Holy Emperor Li Xin. This legendary figure spent hundreds of years sweeping across Kyushu, integrating and eliminating countless forces, large and small, and finally brought the war-torn land of Kyushu to its knees for the first time.
Unification was achieved and a good start was made for future generations.
His contribution goes far beyond that. After unifying Kyushu, he also did a series of tasks, all for the purpose of protecting Kyushu. The most famous of which is the construction of the Chang'an Formation that can resist the attacks of extraterrestrial demons, and the third battle in his later years.
A battle to patch the sky.
Although it was the third generation king of the Holy Emperor Dynasty who finally repaired the cracks in the sky and prevented the extraterrestrial demons from invading Kyushu on a large scale. And that incident also exhausted the power of the dynasty, so that the huge Holy Emperor Dynasty
It quickly declined, but to this day, the people of Kyushu are still enjoying the legacy left by the Holy Emperor and his descendants. Peace, order, and security. Wu Jie has no intention of hiding the news.
He said directly and loudly: "You must not be rude here! If I read it correctly, this is the tomb of the Holy Emperor!"
His words were so shocking that the monks who were in a mess fell silent for an instant. After a while, someone asked: "How can you see it?"
"Let's ask Senior Qi."
"No need to ask." Before Wu Jie finished speaking, the old voice from before rang out, "The sword wielder is busy with other things. He won't answer you."
"Then...senior, can you tell me?"
"You already know, why are you asking!" The old voice said lightly, "This is the tomb of Brother Li Xian, and it is also the place where the energy of the entire Jiuzhou is gathered. Brother Qingshi and I have guarded this place for him for many years, and we are watching
The younger generations who followed became less and less clear about his affairs - in the past tens of thousands of years, you are still the first person to be able to see the origin of this place in such a short period of time!"
"Young man, what's your name?"
"Junior Qingyang watches Wu Jie."
"Qingyang Temple, Wu Jie... I remember you. If you can achieve the eighth level of elixir in the future, I allow you to come here and leave a stone statue. Even if you fail to overcome the tribulation, your soul will not disappear."
Wu Jie hurriedly thanked him, but the old man didn't care. He smiled and said, "You guys, hurry up and move forward. The guy with the sword has prepared it for you at the foot of the mountain... Hehe, just go and take a look and you will know!"
The monks suddenly came to their senses and hurriedly ran along the stone road.
