The Qingyun Mountain Patriarch's Ancestral Hall was still shrouded among the green pines and cypresses, and the huge figure was looming, but the silence was soon broken by chaotic footsteps. A large group of people from the Qingyun Sect rushed to this place to worship the past generations.
The holy place of Patriarch Qingyun.
From the outside, everything seemed to be as peaceful as before, but when they reached the main hall of the Patriarch's Ancestral Hall, both the confused Tongtian Peak disciples and the anxious Suru stopped in shock.
The ancestral hall surrounded by green pines and cypresses, the solemn and solemn holy place of the ancestors, is now littered with debris and debris, making it a mess.
At the gate of the huge ancestral hall, the original red-painted gate was completely smashed, and even the shape of the door was difficult to see. What was in front of everyone was just an even bigger and dazzling hole.
On the outer wall of the ancestor's ancestral hall, almost all the windows were shaken and fell down. Countless holes, large or small, appeared on the wall. The solemn ancestral hall was actually riddled with holes. It was too horrible to see. Only the deep part of the ancestral hall
The dimness seemed to still ignore the dim light coming in from the fallen windows and countless holes, gently filling the ancestral hall.
"Not easy!"
Suru was the first to react. She didn't care about why the ancestral temple suffered such a huge change. She rushed in, hoping to see the person she wanted to see. Master Shuiyue, Elder Yang, Elder Fan and others also chased after him.
Go in.
The ancestral hall seemed to have suffered a huge impact just like the outside. Everything that had once been so solemn was destroyed. The flat stone slabs were broken, and the huge glazed oil bottles were broken. Even when everyone walked to the most sacred place,
When they arrived at the place, behind the huge altar table that was split in half, the countless spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the Qingyun Sect that were enshrined were scattered all over the ground. At a glance, it was unknown how many spiritual tablets had been forcibly beaten by some mysterious force.
It became two halves or more.
However, apart from the mess all over the place, no one could be seen.
Suru's face was pale and her body was shaky. Master Shuiyue frowned, took a step forward, held her in his arms, whispered a few words of comfort, and then turned to Xiao Yicai who was following everyone: "What's going on here?"
What’s going on, and where is Senior Brother Daoxuan?”
Xiao Yicai had a grimace on his face, and his surprised look had not receded until now, and said: "Reporting to Uncle Master, this is what I saw when I came here just now. As for my mentor, he has been like this almost every day for the past month.
The disciple who is meditating here in the ancestor's ancestral hall really can't think of where else he would go other than here."
The look of worry in Master Shuiyue's eyes became more and more serious, and he hesitated to speak. At this moment, a soft sound suddenly came from the side. Everyone present was a person of advanced Taoism, and they heard the sound almost immediately.
"There is someone." Elder Yang quickly determined that the voice came from behind the interrupted huge altar table.
Suru, who was completely weak, was suddenly startled, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, she stood up straight and shouted: "Buyi, is it you?"
Some disciples had already run over and worked together to open the altar table. I don’t know which generation of ancestors had handed down the altar table. It was huge, thick, and extremely heavy. Although those disciples also had some skills, it actually took a few of them to work together.
I just struggled to open the table.
After opening it, a figure appeared under the rubble, and at the same time he let out a low scream.
Everyone was overjoyed and gathered around him, but they were startled after a moment. They saw that this person was not Tian Buyi, nor the master of Qingyun Sect, Daoxuan Zhenren, but Lin, a disciple of Longshou Peak who had been keeping vigil in the ancestor's ancestral hall.
Jingyu.
I saw that half of his body and clothes were stained red with blood. He was obviously injured, and the injury was not serious. His face was also extremely pale, and he seemed to be still in a coma. He did not react at all to the person kneeling next to him calling him.
nor.
The joy on Suru's face slowly disappeared, and was immediately replaced by greater worry and anxiety. Master Shuiyue stood beside her, comforting her softly. Elder Yang's face was ashen, and he looked around. The Qingyun Sect Patriarch's Ancestral Hall was
It is one of the most important places in Qingyun Sect, almost comparable to Huanyue Cave Mansion. It has never happened in thousands of years to be reduced to such a scene, and more importantly, it is the two most important places in Qingyun Sect.
The individual seems to have disappeared.
"Senior nephew Xiao," Elder Yang turned to look at Xiao Yicai and said, "Are you sure that the head senior brother is here?"
Xiao Yicai looked at the unconscious Lin Jingyu, his expression slowly calmed down, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Yes, for the past few days, my mentor has indeed only been in this ancestral hall. What are the disciples doing on weekdays?"
Ask for advice and report back to his old man, who is also here."
Elder Yang was obviously a little upset and didn't know what to do for a while.
Xiao Yicai coughed twice, slowly approached Elder Yang, lowered his voice, and said softly: "Uncle Yang, it is not appropriate to drag this matter on. It is harmful and useless to have so many junior brothers gather here to see the damage to the Holy Land Ancestral Hall. And listen to Su
According to what Master Ru Su said, my mentor and Master Tian Buyi from Dazhu Peak seem to have a hidden secret, and I’m afraid it may have something to do with what happened here. How about letting them withdraw first and let us decide one by one?"
Elder Yang came to his senses, nodded repeatedly, and then said: "I am not capable of doing these things. The head brother has always believed in you, and you usually take care of everything. Now you just make a decision when the opportunity arises!" After that, he shook his head and sighed,
He walked to the side and discussed in a low voice with the white-bearded Elder Fan who was standing beside him.
Xiao Yicai nodded to Elder Yang, accepting the order, then turned around and said loudly: "Master uncles and junior brothers, the ancestor's ancestral hall has suffered a sudden disaster recently. I am afraid that there will be an invasion from foreign enemies, so I came here. The so-called repairing the situation after the sheep have been lost.
, I can't just sit around and wait for death." At this point, he raised his eyebrows and said to one of the Tongtian Peak disciples beside him: "Junior brother Qin, you take ten people and go to the outside of the ancestor's ancestral hall to guard immediately. No one is allowed to come in.
If there is an enemy hiding among them, you must report it to me as soon as possible after discovering it."
A tall man walked out from among the disciples of Tongtian Peak, raised his hands and said solemnly, "Yes." After saying that, he turned around and said hello to the left and right, counted people, and immediately walked out quickly.
At this moment, everyone in the ancestor's ancestral hall was quiet. Only Xiao Yicai stood in the middle. Although there were several elders who were higher than him next to him, at this moment, it seemed that he was the backbone of Qingyun Sect.
Xiao Yicai said again: "Junior Brother Chang!"
"Here." A person walked out with a resolute face, but it was Chang Jian who had led Zhang Xiaofan and others up the mountain to compete in martial arts and had a battle with Song Daren, a disciple of Dazhu Peak.
Xiao Yicai nodded and said: "Junior Brother Chang, the most important thing at the moment is to find my mentor. With him taking charge of the overall situation, there is nothing to fear. Although something big seems to be happening here, my mentor's Taoism, Taoism and God's power are all over the world.
Invincible, ordinary monsters can never harm him. You bring eighty people... No, the more people the better, you bring one hundred and fifty people, search from top to bottom from Tongtian Peak, the front mountain and the back mountain.
If you want to find it, you must not miss the slightest clue."
There was a deep look of worry on Chang Jian's face, and he obviously knew that although what Xiao Yicai said before sounded nice, the most important thing was the last sentence. He didn't hesitate at that moment, answered in a deep voice, quickly greeted everyone, and walked out. Look at that
The number of people is obviously not enough as Xiao Yicai said, most of them still have to go to Qianshan to mobilize troops and generals.
As soon as this large group of people left, the ancestral hall suddenly became empty. There were only a few elders and Xiao Yicai, Wen Min who was following Master Shuiyue, and finally Lin Jingyu who was still unconscious.
Xiao Yicai sighed, turned around, bowed to the elders, and said in a low voice: "Uncles, there has been a big change in Qingyun Sect today. The disciples have made arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises. If there is anything inappropriate, please punish me."
Neither Suru nor Master Shuiyue spoke. Elder Yang nodded and said: "Senior nephew Xiao, you don't have to be humble. You did a good job just now. Now if there is anything else we old men need to do, you just give us orders. No need.
polite."
Xiao Yicai pondered for a moment and said: "The situation is unclear now, so we still need to be cautious. Several martial uncles have been invited to go back to their respective mountains. If there is an emergency, they can take care of their respective families. It's a pity that this dragon leader
Junior brother Feng Lin is still unconscious, otherwise we would know everything if we asked him, after all, he was the only one present at the time."
Everyone frowned together, all worried. Suru slowly calmed down under the comfort of Master Shuiyue. After all, Tian Buyi was not around. Although he was worried, there was still hope after all, so he was not so nervous.
.Listening to Xiao Yicai's instructions all the way, she was in a state of confusion and just hoped that nothing would happen to Tian Buyi.
At this moment, she glanced at Lin Jingyu who was lying on the ground, suddenly frowned, and whispered softly: "Hey!"
Master Shuiyue stood beside her and asked in slight shock: "What's wrong?"
Suru pointed at Lin Jingyu and said, "He seems to have something in his hand?"
Everyone was shocked. Xiao Yicai walked quickly to Lin Jingyu and gently turned him over. Sure enough, he saw that in his right hand underneath him, he was holding a rectangular black wooden board tightly. Xiao Yicai stretched out his hand.
Unexpectedly, when he pulled it out, the board did not move. Although Lin Jingyu was unconscious, he somehow managed to hold the board tightly and never relaxed at all.
Everyone looked at it with confusion.
Elder Fan walked aside, turned around, and suddenly said: "This wooden board seems to be the ancestor's spiritual tablet enshrined!"
Master Shuiyue looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Yes, it is the spiritual tablet."
Xiao Yicai spent a long time and then slowly opened Lin Jingyu's tightly grasped fingers and took out this spiritual tablet that seemed to be extremely important to him. Everyone gathered around, as this
The people who witnessed the accident, Lin Jingyu cared so much about this spiritual tablet, obviously had a lot to do with it. Unexpectedly, everyone was shocked when they saw it, and then looked at each other in confusion.
Although this spiritual tablet is the same size as the other spiritual tablets and is also painted black, there is surprisingly no word on the still complete spiritual tablet.
This is actually a wordless spiritual tablet!
Then, if it is placed in this solemn ancestor’s ancestral hall, whose spiritual tablet is it enshrined in?
Who put it on it to enjoy the incense with the ancestors of all generations? Since it was put up, why didn’t you write your name on it?
Lin Jingyu clung to this wooden sign and refused to let go even though he was seriously injured and unconscious. What did it mean?
All kinds of doubts and myriad thoughts seem to be lingering in everyone's minds.
Southern Xinjiang, one hundred thousand mountains, Zhenmo Ancient Cave.
Legend is a very strange thing. First of all, the legend itself does not seem to be reliable. Just because certain things seem to have a reason to be passed down, people pass it down orally, or some literati take notes and pass it down. Secondly,
, the longer the legend circulates, the legend itself will often gradually change. The people and things of the past gradually become unrecognizable. With the addition of countless people and the tempering of time, who can still remember those years?
What's the truth?
Who still cares?
So the legend finally became a legend, just like the alluringly beautiful and gentle woman, slowly changing her appearance over time.
Tens of millions of years later, can you still recognize each other?
In the darkness, the dark wind seemed to be still, rampant and unbridled, as if it only belonged to the world outside this ancient cave, and in this dark world, everything was quiet.
This is the deepest part of the Ancient Demon-Suppressing Cave. It was here where Heimu obtained the sacred artifacts of the five tribes in southern Xinjiang and resurrected the body of the beast god. But today, the demonic energy that once boiled and surged here has disappeared.
There was no trace, leaving only silence and the occasional low breathing.
It was a gasp, coming from the deepest darkness, and a bit of strange dark red light, then shining in this dark and somewhat void space.
A low roar suddenly sounded in the depths of the darkness, right where the gasp came from. It was like a ferocious beast with a deep uneasiness, and even some audible fear. It grinned and faced angrily.
That little red light.
The low breathing stopped, as if something soothed the strange beast in the darkness. The roar gradually became lower and finally disappeared. Silence returned to the cave. Only the strange dark red firelight was still there.
Flashing, flashing, flashing.
Suddenly, a female voice, pleasant but without any emotion, faintly echoed in the cave: "That glutton of yours, it seems that you have never had a good impression of me!"
This dark space seemed really big, and the woman's voice seemed to be carried very far away, floating here and there, empty. Just listen to the source of the voice, which was behind the dark red light.
.
The voice responded with a burst of calm laughter, "Don't worry, it never trusts humans."
The woman snorted and said, "What, so it already treats me as a human being?"
"Roar", a low whistle passed through the air instantly, and in front of the dark red fire, a flame suddenly lit up. It turned out to be a clumsy brazier, with a tripod, stained with rust, and I don't know how old it was.
It's something from a long time ago, but the fire is burning in this brazier, and the firelight is still so bright, just like the clothes after the flames.
Bright, silk clothes.
Beast God!
He sat on the ground between the flames and dark shadows, leaning against the stone wall of a platform. The flames flickered, illuminating his face and making him look bright and dark. He still looked with an indescribable and weird feeling of coquettishness.
, but what was different from when he was just resurrected was that his face was extremely pale. It would be an exaggeration to say that his face was ashen.
Under the firelight, closely leaning against him and nestling next to him was the weird and ferocious evil beast, the Taotie. At this moment, the Taotie's huge eyes were wide open, and it grinned slightly, revealing its terrifying fangs, and it seemed that it was constantly talking.
Panting, he glared fiercely through the firelight of the brazier in front of him, staring at the dark red light in the distance that had become unremarkable.
Although the beast god's face was not good-looking, his expression was very calm, and he even had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, saying: "You have been practicing Taoism for thousands of years, and you just want to be a human being. If I say this to you, you should be happy."
The woman's voice fell silent and she didn't speak for a while, but the dark red fire suddenly lit up.
Taotie seemed to be alert immediately, roaring in his mouth, staring at the dark red light.
The fire slowly started to move, and the direction it went was exactly where the Beast God was. Taotie's face became more ferocious, and he slowly stood up. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side and patted Taotie's head gently.
Taotie then slowly became quiet.
The Beast God retracted his palm and looked back. The light of fire had slowly flown in front of him, like an eye, fixed not far in front of him, staring at him.
The beast god looked at the dark red fire for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "You and I have been friends for more than a thousand years. Although we can't be called life-or-death friends, we can be considered old friends! Besides, I am seriously injured at the moment, why are you still treating me like this?
alert?"
The dark red firelight flickered for a few times, then suddenly let out a sharp roar, and retreated extremely quickly. When it passed over the brazier, it even suppressed the flames in the brazier, and the surrounding area suddenly became dark.
It took a moment to return to normal, and by this time, the dark red fire had disappeared into the darkness.
The woman's cold voice sounded at the same time, saying: "I don't believe you, just like your Taotie doesn't believe me."
The beast god looked at the darkness ahead and suddenly laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, okay, that's good. But I don't understand. Since you and I don't trust each other, why do you want to help me this time?
"
The woman said calmly: "Because you are the only one who can give me what I want."
The Beast God smiled and said: "Is it just because of this, these ugly images carved on the stone walls and ground?"
He waved his hand. Although the smile was still there, the fatigue on his face seemed to be getting deeper.
The flames in the brazier suddenly swelled and made a crackling sound. They suddenly grew several times larger than before. For a moment, the flames glowed brightly, and the surrounding temperature quickly became unbearably hot. However, no matter whether it was a beast, it was extremely hot.
God is still Taotie, and the mysterious figure who is still hiding in the dark shadows has no reaction at all.
The flame was burning, stretching slowly in the darkness, as if it was gradually coming to life. Even the shape in the firelight began to slowly expand and contract, from a ball to a long one, and slowly condensed into a vague dragon's shape.
shape.
In the darkness, staring at the shape of the fire dragon that was gradually taking shape, the woman's voice slowly said: "I remember it was these ugly images that trapped you for countless years, right?"
The beast god smiled slightly, but in the firelight, it was impossible to tell whether he was smiling bitterly, sneering, or sneering...
Because at the moment when he smiled, the fire dragon above the brazier had already taken shape. It opened its teeth and claws in the flames, suddenly raised its head and faced the darkness, and let out a silent roar.
The blazing heat wave surged up like a torrent almost at the same time, rushing around instantly, rolling in, destroying everything in front of it. After the sea of fire, in the blazing flames, the ground around the brazier lit up one by one.
The four patterns, with rough lines and blood-red colors, were four different ferocious statues of gods. A moment later, four patterns of stone carvings were lit up in sequence above the brazier and on the left and right stone walls. They were also roughly the same.
content.
These eight stone carvings are exactly the same as what Gui Li saw in the Xuanhuo Altar in Fenxiang Valley.
