In the past, when the holy body came out, the whole world was in awe. Wherever it passed, the heroes retreated and did not dare to attack.
Unfortunately, it has been in decline for too long, and now even a disciple of a small sect will use the word "waste body" when talking about this kind of physique.
As time goes by, ups and downs, the Holy Body has faded away from everyone, and it can no longer show its supreme grace. The changes and decline are unstoppable.
Ye Fan wanted to break the curse and change the current predicament. He desperately wanted to become stronger, especially when the secret of the Wushi Emperor came out, his emotions were aroused.
The holy city is really too big. For so many days, Ye Fan was only limited to a corner and did not go all the way.
Of course, this is mainly because he wants to bet on stones. It is impossible to just take a quick look at the flowers. If you choose a stone workshop, you will have to stay for a long time.
Today, Li Heishui took Ye Fan a little further. This ancient street was very wide, but there were not many pedestrians, so it was extremely quiet.
On both sides of the road are ancient trees with towering branches and cracked trunks that cannot be hugged by more than a dozen people. They block the sky and the sun, making the place feel a bit eerie.
After walking some distance further, Ye Fan discovered something was wrong. There was a stone square beside the road. It was quite large and covered a very large area, but it was extremely desolate.
Clusters of wormwood and old trees grew wildly, almost submerging the building. It was obvious that no one had taken care of it for many years, and it had almost become a wilderness.
"I'm faint!"
Ye Fan was stunned because he actually saw a rabbit. Yes, a hare jumped out of the wormwood and rushed into the depths of the garden.
This is a sacred city. Every inch of land is valuable. Why is such a huge palace and garden in such a desolate state?
There is actually no one taking care of it. It has become a strange place with ancient vines climbing wildly and trees and wolves forest. It is really special. The most egregious thing is the appearance of wild rabbits.
Soon, Ye Fan found two more pheasants, flapping their wings and flying deep into the bushes. He was quite speechless, this was so unusual.
"What kind of place is this? In the divine city, would anyone be willing to abandon such a treasured place?!"
"This place... is the stone square of Tianxuan Holy Land." Li Heishui said.
Ahead, beside the road, there is a doorway as grand as a city tower, shaded by ancient trees. There is a mottled copper plaque on it, with two ancient characters - Tianxuan engraved on it.
"It's that holy land!" Ye Fan was surprised, walked closer and looked at it carefully, and said, "No wonder it's like this."
He thought of the old madman. In the past, when this holy land was at its peak, he mobilized the whole religion to attack the ancient forbidden land, but the result was that it was almost wiped out.
"Don't you have any ideas about other holy places?" Ye Fan asked.
In the distant past, there were more holy places than now, but today, many inheritances have been lost. The treasures they left behind have been divided up by other holy places. This is one of the reasons why today's holy places are becoming more and more powerful.
"Back then, there were only three or four people who escaped from the Tianxuan Holy Land. How could they possibly be able to suppress all the Holy Lands that were watching eagerly? Many of the treasures left behind were divided, including the Guangyuanyuan Mine outside the Taichu restricted area."
"Why hasn't this place been divided up?" Ye Fan was puzzled.
"Of course there are some reasons..." Li Heishui explained.
The Tianxuan Holy Land is located in the central area of the Eastern Wasteland. The three or four people who escaped did not take long to live, and their bodies and spirits were destroyed.
The Holy Lands wanted to divide Tianxuan equally, but later on every full moon night there would be cries from the Tianxuan Holy Land. Several Holy Lands went to explore late at night but found nothing.
Not long after, the largest stone square in the city of God, on the occasion of the full moon, heard loud and sad cries. Strong men came to visit all the holy places, but not even a ghost was seen.
In the end, I didn't dare to move here.
In the following years, every thousand years, a loud cry of sadness would appear in the middle of the night, literally silencing all the holy places.
So far, no one has dared to touch this place.
"Hey, the door is open." Ye Fan was surprised.
"After so many years, there is only one old janitor left. He is a descendant of the loyal old servant from the past, but it is almost extinct. Now this janitor has no descendants."
"Can I go in and have a look?"
"It's okay to go in, but the stones have long been transported away by the major holy places, and there's nothing good left."
"Is it possible to gamble on stones here?" Ye Fan was a little surprised.
"The old servants who look after this place also need to survive. They only guard this old house. As for the stones, if anyone wants to buy them, they will naturally be sold."
Back then, the major holy places had taken the lead in transporting many precious stones, and the late night cries were heard later. Although they did not occupy this place, it was impossible to return the source.
The dilapidated stone steps and collapsed palaces were all covered by vegetation. An old man with dim eyesight and a hunched back sat on a piece of bluestone.
He was old, his life was short, and his oil was almost exhausted. Looking at the desolate garden overgrown with wormwood, his eyes were full of nostalgia and sadness.
Seeing this scene, Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh. This is a loyal family, and their ancestors have been guarding this yard without future and hope for generations.
The old man was a little dull and turned around slowly. His face was full of wrinkles and his old eyes were cloudy.
"Young men, are you here to buy stones?"
"What a sad old man. What is he waiting for here?" Ye Fan didn't know what power or belief was supporting the old man.
"Buy, I want to buy a lot of stones!" Ye Fan nodded and placed a lot of stones in front of the old man.
"We can't use so many, there are no valuable stones here..." The old man trembled, pushed Yuan back with his rough old hands, and said, "Besides, you haven't chosen a stone yet."
"I'm going to choose now." Ye Fan said.
"Look carefully, and you might be able to find one or two treasures. Occasionally, legendary figures will come here to hunt for treasures." The old man looked at the dilapidated garden with a dull look in his eyes, and said, "There was another person who came in just now.
I went searching in the depths, maybe he is that kind of person."
Li Heishui smiled and joked: "Maybe if we are lucky, we will really meet a legendary power."
Suddenly, Ye Fan's expression froze and his heart was pounding because he really saw a terrifying figure!
Deep in the wormwood bushes, there is an old Taoist, wearing an ancient Taoist robe, with a withered body, squatting on the ground looking at stones, it turned out to be——Taoist Chilong.
Fortunately, Ye Fan had enough Qi-nurturing skills. Ordinary people would have screamed in surprise. He calmed down instantly and his pulse was not disturbed at all.
This is the sworn brother of the Peacock King, a super terrifying existence that makes all the saints headache and fear. Ye Fan never expected to meet him here.
He couldn't help but glance at the old man and Li Heishui. He really didn't know whether he should call them a crow's mouth, or a great prophecy, or really point out a super scary person.
Chilong Taoist glanced this way, looked at the old man and Li Heishui, and said nothing.
A few months ago, Taoist Chilong selected a pile of stone tools in Shizhai, but Ye Fan had to carry them all away. He even pulled out the foundations of the villagers' houses, leaving him no hair at all.
Ye Fan could imagine Taoist Chilong's expression when he returned that day. He didn't dare to show any flaws. If he let the other party know that it was him who did it, he would probably be severely punished.
He and Li Heishui were casually looking for stones under the ancient trees, but they didn't show anything strange.
Not long after, Chilong Taoist selected a dozen broken stones without seeing anything special, and piled them in front of the old man, and asked for payment.
Suddenly, Taoist Chilong seemed to sense something, and a terrifying aura filled the air. He suddenly disappeared from the place and rushed out, as if he was chasing something.
"Why are you leaving..." The old man was puzzled, and then said to Ye Fan and Li Heishui: "Why don't you stop picking and buy these stones, they are all picked."
Ye Fan was a little hesitant. Is it possible to copy the bottom again and get all the things Chilong Lao Dao is interested in?
"Buy! If that bull-nosed guy doesn't come back, it's my great luck. If he comes back, I'll sell him a favor." Ye Fan secretly made this decision and walked over.
"Just cut it here." Li Heishui didn't take it too seriously. He didn't know the identity of Chilong Taoist.
"Wait a little longer." Ye Fan was afraid that Chilong Taoist would come back.
However, after waiting for a full quarter of an hour, the other party did not return. He secretly called for luck and started cutting the stone directly.
After peeling off thirteen stones one after another, there was nothing, nothing inside.
The fifteenth stone was only as big as a fist. As soon as Ye Fan cut it open, he smelled a scent, like orchid and musk deer, refreshing and intoxicating to one's bones.
He was shocked at that time. This smell was too familiar. Not long ago, it was cut out of the stone tools left by Master Yuan Tian, and poisoned a greedy big black dog to death.
"Why is Taoist Chilong's eyes so vicious? Doesn't he also know the most profound source of magic?!" Ye Fan was shocked at the same time, but also had endless doubts.
Of course, right now, it’s more of a headache. If I cut out something like this again, it won’t be wasted again, right?
"The treasure has been cut out!" Li Heishui shouted excitedly. Such a strong fragrance emanating from the stone must be a rarity rarely seen in the world.
Even the old man next to him had a look of surprise in his cloudy eyes.
Ye Fan peeled off the stone skin, revealing a pink fruit, only half the size of a fist, exactly the same as last time, only half smaller.
"brush"
Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and Chilong Taoist appeared silently on the spot, showing a look of shock and anger, and said: "Why did you touch my stone?"
Ye Fan did not answer immediately. If he wanted to sell Chilong Taoist to an adult, he must not let the other party blame him.
"When you left and never came back, I took the initiative to sell it to them." At this moment, the frail old man next to him replied.
Taoist Chilong was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at the old man twice.
"We have already bought him. If you want, you can buy it with enough resources." Although Li Heishui saw that Red Dragon Taoist was extremely powerful, he would never have thought that he was so terrifying that he could be the eldest brother of the Peacock King.
"Don't talk about these useless things. Hurry up and seal it with jade. Otherwise, the most conservative estimate is that things worth hundreds of thousands of kilograms will be wasted!" Taoist Chilong was extremely anxious, with sweat breaking out on his head.
, even after searching the whole body, no jade was found.
"More than a hundred thousand kilograms?!" Li Heishui almost bit off his own tongue.
The bastard Black King!
At this moment, Ye Fan had the urge to curse, and the corner of his mouth almost twitched. Damn it, this greedy dog bitten down more than 200,000 kilograms!
As a result, Mao Yong didn't care, he poisoned himself so much that he foamed at the mouth, died and convulsed for half a month.
