Chapter 2 On the Stone Temple

Li Zhen was alone, wandering aimlessly, and walked out of Qingyuan Gate unknowingly.

Li Zhen lowered his head with a sad expression. He knew very well that if he really couldn't practice in the future, his mother's injustice would never be washed away. This fact made him feel even more painful than his inability to practice.

Unknowingly, tears streamed down his face.

He walked for a long time until his legs started to feel sore before he came back to his senses. Looking around, he found that he had left the boundary of Qingyuan Mountain. He was suddenly a little nervous. After leaving Qingyuan Gate, his safety would not be guaranteed at all.

He must return to the sect quickly.

He did what he thought of and prepared to return. However, at this moment, his eyes accidentally saw the cornice of a corner of the pavilion in the forest.

"That is?"

Li Zhen thought of something and stopped in his tracks.

That was my mother's villa when she was not in the palace.

When he was young, every time he returned to Qingyuanmen, his mother would take him to stay in this secluded courtyard for a few days.

At this moment, he forgot about the danger and walked towards the other courtyard deep in the forest. He had not been here since his grandfather brought him back, and there were traces of his mother everywhere.

It has been three years, and he really misses his mother.

There is a stone road leading to the annex, which was laid by my mother herself. The annex was also designed and built by my mother herself. Although it is a bit crude, it is my mother's favorite place. Only people who are very close to her will be taken into the annex.

Be a guest.

Li Zhen forgot about the soreness and numbness in his legs and arrived in front of the courtyard in a short time.

The other courtyard had not been inhabited for a long time, but it did not look deserted and was spotless. It was obvious that people came to clean it frequently. Li Zhen knew that it must be his grandfather who came here often.

My mother committed suicide, but my grandfather didn't say anything, but he must have been deeply regretful and missing her in his heart.

The courtyard was entirely made of bamboo and was extremely elegant. Gently pushing the door open, a familiar smell hit his face, and almost forgotten images kept flashing in his mind. At this moment, Li Zhen could no longer hold on, and knelt down and howled.

Cry loudly.

All the strength and forbearance completely collapsed at this moment.

"I, Li Zhen, swear here today that I will avenge the murder of my mother in this life, and cut that bitch Concubine Dong Guifei into thousands of pieces and cut her body into thousands of pieces!"

After venting his anger, Li Zhen knelt in his mother's favorite courtyard and vowed that even if he could not practice spiritual practice, he would do his best to avenge his wronged mother.

Concubine Dong.

One of the four noble concubines of the Holy Emperor, she should now be called the Queen. She and Li Zhen's mother entered the palace one after another. The two were of the same age and had very similar backgrounds, which made the two quickly become sisters who were in love with each other.

However, she never imagined that when Li Zhen's mother was about to be crowned queen, this good sister framed and exposed her mother and concubine for secretly using "witchcraft".

Concubine Dong Guifei was well prepared and all the evidence was conclusive, causing her mother-in-law to be directly placed under house arrest.

Li Zhen knew very well that this must be Concubine Dong's conspiracy, and the most hateful thing was that Concubine Dong had met her mother in private, and it was that meeting that caused her mother to change her confession and commit suicide.

He didn't know what Concubine Dong had blackmailed his mother-in-law, and he wanted to find out the truth and expose the true face of this vicious woman.

At this time, the space in the other courtyard and the surrounding area was severely distorted, and Li Zhen was not aware of it. When he calmed down and stood up to leave, the distorted space in the other courtyard came into view, making him frightened.

"This is... this is... what is going on?!"

Li Zhen realized something was wrong and turned around to escape. Unfortunately, the distortion of space became even faster. Before Li Zhen could escape from the other courtyard, he was wrapped in this force, and then he disappeared, along with the entire building.

Other courtyard.

Li Zhen was involved in it. After feeling dizzy for a while, a bright light hit him the next moment, which stung his eyes. After a while, after adapting to the light, what he saw in front of him shocked him to the extreme!

He appeared in an endless desert, and the green courtyard behind him was incompatible with it.

"What on earth is going on? Am I experiencing space turbulence?"

Space turbulence is an extremely terrifying thing. According to the history books he read, no one can experience space turbulence and survive.

There was no human habitation in the desert. To be more precise, there was no sign of life. The deathly silence was frightening. He didn't want to stay here for a moment longer. It seemed that if he stayed for too long, the depressing atmosphere would defeat him, not to mention his intuition.

Tell him that there are extremely terrifying beings in the desert.

Li Zhen was at a loss for a while, but he didn't want to sit still and wait for death. If he did nothing, there would be no hope. He was not a person who gave up easily, so after thinking for a long time, he decided to observe some surrounding situations.

Li Zhen was decisive and acted as he thought. He used Qing Gong and started wandering around to observe the situation.

For an hour, nothing was found. It was so quiet that there wasn't even a blade of grass.

Is God going to kill me?

Li Zhen's eyes gradually became serious, and he said with determination as if he was dead: "There is only Li Zhen who was beaten to death, and there is no Li Zhen who surrendered and was captured without mercy."

Li Zhen was unwilling to be trapped here. He cheered up, took a short rest, and decided to continue looking for a way out.

Li Zhen set out again, looking for a way out. Fortunately, there was no way out. Not long after walking, he saw a building in the distance. If there is a building, there may be people. If there are people, why are they still worried about being trapped here?

Li Zhen was in great spirits. Regardless of fatigue, he quickened his steps and approached quickly.

As the distance got closer, the outline of the building in the distance gradually became clearer. It was a stone temple that was extremely simple. It looked abandoned for a long time and seemed to be in danger of collapsing at any time. This situation undoubtedly gave Li Zhen a hope.

A basin of cold water.

But even so, he still had to go find out and maybe find some clues. After all, after being here for a long time, he finally found traces of someone living there, which is also an encouragement.

The stone temple is quite large, and it can be seen that it once had its glory, but now half of it has collapsed and been destroyed. Only some buildings around the main hall are still intact. The walls are severely corroded, and only a few exquisite carvings remain.

, which is very regrettable.

Li Zhen stood outside and sighed for a moment, then stepped into the hall. The scene in the hall made the unprepared Li Zhen tremble.

In the main hall, a copper tripod more than ten feet high stood in the center. It was stained with rust and seemed to be turned into ashes in the next moment. But what really made Li Zhen tremble with fear was that there were five stone chairs in the hall, each with five corpses sitting on it.

The bones have been petrified, which shows that the age of death is very long. Just like the bronze tripod, just by looking at it, you can feel the ancient atmosphere of countless years.

The bronze tripod and the five corpses both aroused Li Zhen's interest. He stepped forward slowly, wanting to take a closer look, but he was more afraid of 'disturbing' them.

A cautious glance revealed that the bronze tripod was seriously damaged. It looked ordinary in style and not very attractive. But when he looked around again and took a closer look, he suddenly discovered something unusual, and his mind was filled with more details.

It reminds me of the glorious history of the human race in the 'Middle Ages' that I once read when reading ancient books.
