Not all the water in Daming Lake has been lost. From a distance, the calm lake surface still looks like a bright mirror. However, when your feet come into contact with the water, the water can only cover half an inch of the soles before you can step on the hard stones.
There are many stones with sharp edges exposed on the lake. At first glance, they look ordinary, but after careful sensing, you can find that each of them contains a sharp aura, as if they are not stones, but
A sharp sword that wants to pierce the sky.
What is even more shocking is that there is a sword mark on every stone, and the passage of time cannot make the sword intention on the sword mark dissipate. Even when people look at it, their eyes will feel the scratches of the sword.
A tingling sensation.
Decades ago, there was a man in the academy who single-handedly destroyed the Demon Sect with a sword. It was not a very obscure thing. Although few people in the world talked about it, the four people walking on the lake happened to know about it.
Ye Hongyu looked excited, because what she was seeing now was most likely the battle traces left by the strong man from the academy back then; Ning Que was excited, because he was a student on the second floor and left a sword on the stone.
The one who saw the mark was his junior uncle; while Mo Shanshan was walking and looking at the position of the stones, he vaguely seemed to feel the position of the threshold behind the cave.
"Junior brother, don't just worship your junior uncle. Those sword marks are very useful for your current practice."
After Ning Que heard what Ye Chao said, his excited expression calmed down. He believed deeply in what the twelfth senior brother said and began to look at the sword marks carefully.
The little sparrow stood on Ye Chao's shoulder, looking worriedly at his eyes that would overflow with blood from time to time.
Haotian is the one who rules the entire world. Even though a residual thought has been staying at the Demon Sect Mountain Gate for a thousand years, the power it contains is still terrifying. Even though Ye Chao chopped the residual thought into pieces with a sword, the residual thought still remains in his eyes.
There are many Haotian wills that are extremely difficult to dispel.
Ye Chao picked up the handkerchief Mo Shanshan gave him and wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corners of his eyes. He touched the little sparrow's head to show that he was fine, and then looked at the huge stone gate standing in the middle of the lake.
"This door is so big!" Ning Que couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing it.
Ye Chao rolled his eyes at him and said: "After all, this is an unknown place for the Demon Sect. How can we do it if it's not big?"
…
As they approached the center of the lake, they felt more deeply the size of the Demon Sect's mountain gate. Looking from below, it looked like a small mountain, but they seemed so small.
Ye Hongyu groped on the stone door, seemingly looking for something like a mechanism. After a long time, she obviously didn't find anything.
After a moment of silence, she looked at Ye Chao, whose eyes were red, and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Twelve has a way to open the mountain door?"
Ye Chao didn't say anything. He took Ning Que's hand and pressed his hand on the door with a strange look on his face.
It was at this moment that the huge Demon Sect Mountain Gate began to shake, and countless accumulated dust sputtered out from the cracks in the door. Then, the stone door slowly opened.
Except for Ye Chao, the remaining three people in the room, including Little Sparrow and Da Hei, didn't know that the thing that opened the Demon Sect's mountain gate was the ring on Ning Que's hand, and they couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
Ning Que also stared blankly at the ring on his hand. He clearly remembered that the third senior sister said that when he was in danger in the wilderness, this ring could save his life, but he never thought that it could open the Demon Sect Mountain Gate.
He looked up at the silent Ye Chao, thinking that the twelfth senior brother and the third senior sister had the best relationship, so he must know something. However, he gave up the idea when he thought that there were two bookworms and Taoist idiots in the room.
Entering the huge stone gate, what came into view was an unknown number of long stone steps. The few people walked for a long time and almost crossed nearly ten thousand stone steps before they saw the Demon Sect Hall. Obviously, the mountain gate is located within a huge mountain peak.
There was only silence in the dark air. Countless stone pillars that were wide enough for carriages to pass together held up the Demon Sect's main hall. There were many corpses lying on the ground that had rotted to the point where only bones were left.
At the end of the stone steps where the few people were standing was a huge stone bridge about dozens of feet wide, and at the end of the stone bridge was the main hall.
Ye Chao called out to Ning Que, who was studying the armor carefully, and then walked towards the main hall, which was even bigger than the Demon Sect's mountain gate.
After everyone arrived in front of the main hall, Ye Chao opened the door and faced a huge stone monument.
"Stele without words?"
Ye Hongyu grew up in Xiling and knew the legend of the Great Priest of Light very well, so he said in a surprised tone.
"To be honest, I admire this Great Priest of Guangming very much. Even if he betrayed Queen Haotian and founded the Demon Sect, he dared to leave an empty monument for future generations to comment on. This kind of behavior is bright and magnanimous, and it is better than some people in Xiling who believe in Haotian.
too much,"
Listening to the conversation between the two, Mo Shanshan also thought of some rumors about that person, and observed the stone monument carefully.
But as she watched, her expression gradually became shocked, because there were words on the tablet.
"Academy Ke Haoran Demon Slayer Sect is here." Ye Chao slowly finished reading the words, and then bowed respectfully to the stone tablet.
The words on the stele are deep into the stone, and every stroke of the handwriting reveals a sharp meaning, as if there is a young man dancing a sword on it.
Ning Que's eyebrows slowly raised. He followed Ye Chao's bow to the stone tablet and then looked at it carefully, because he found that these sword marks gave him the same feeling as when he had a bet with Long Qing.
It was like the sword marks left by the twelfth senior brother on the rock. After being reminded by the twelfth senior brother before, he understood that these sword marks should contain the awe-inspiring swordsmanship of his young uncle.
Ye Chao stroked the stone tablet, imagining the scene when his junior uncle destroyed the Demon Sect with one sword and one man. He couldn't help but feel heroic in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to take it out from his waist, but he felt that his hand was empty. Then he remembered that in the wilderness,
When people lived in wooden houses, they threw away the empty wine bags.
"You seem to be proud of something."
Ye Hongyu couldn't stand Ye Chao, especially when Ye Chao had a victorious and proud expression on his face.
Ye Chao chuckled and said: "My junior uncle was so fierce back then. After riding a donkey to the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect disappeared. He rode the donkey up to Taoshan, and there was an extra green mountain in Taoshan."
"I also thought that one day I would ride my big black donkey to your Taoshan Mountain to see if I could create another green mountain in Xiling."
The anger in Ye Hongyu's eyes exploded unabashedly, but he also knew that even if Ye Chao's condition was no longer as strong as before, he still could not be his opponent. He could no longer hold back his anger and remained silent.
