Chapter 323 I’ll crown you with a title
How does he know my name?
Zhou Xiaotong's expression condensed slightly, and he confirmed again and again that in his memory, there was no trace of the haggard old man's dejected face despite his unshaven beard.
It does look a bit familiar.
While thinking,
Zhou Xiaotong protected the young girl behind him and spoke cautiously:
"Senior, who are you...?"
The withered old man seemed to be struggling to raise his eyelids and spoke slowly:
"Well, it's really you. Have you grown so big? Daoji seems to have been beheaded, and his longevity has been greatly reduced. What happened?"
After a pause, the old man pointed at the unconscious Chongshan Tiger and asked calmly:
"What happened to this child again? How did he become like this?"
Lin Yiyi and Chen Lide exchanged glances, and they both wondered, who is this person?
The loud tone is a bit too much!
Seems to know Aunt Zhou, and calls Uncle Chong my child
Apart from anything else, when Uncle Chong is intact, he is still a great figure in the world!
Just when the two of them were surprised, Zhou Xiaotong's expression became more serious.
She bowed, hesitated for a while, and explained:
"Senior, my Taoist foundation was beheaded by an Immortal Heavenly Lord, and so was Brother Shanhu."
"Fairy Court?"
The withered old man frowned slightly:
"What is this? Heaven?"
At this time, the three of them were really confused and surprised each other.
Even Xianting doesn’t know? ?
Seeing the blank expressions of the three people, the haggard old man chuckled:
"I haven't walked in the mortal world for twelve years, and now the cause and effect in this world are confusing, and divination is impossible, so it's not clear."
Zhou Xiaotong's heart moved. Could it be that he was a senior member of the Zhuge family?
After thinking about it, she suppressed her doubts, remained vigilant, and recounted:
"Returning to the seniors, since the fall of Sanqing Temple more than eleven years ago, the legendary ancient immortals and Buddhas have returned one after another.
Two years ago, after the Kongtong Holy Land disappeared, more powerful immortals and Buddhas returned, spanning all directions. "
The withered old man's eyes flashed and he asked:
"Kongtong Holy Land?"
"Yes, Kongtong Holy Land was originally the first of the Four Holy Lands. It suddenly disappeared two years ago and its traces are unknown."
After a pause, Zhou Xiaotong explained:
"Ten years ago, the Ancestral Star expanded rapidly, extending into the shape of a round sky and a square place. It was divided into four directions and added the Ancestral Continent. The original area of the Ancestral Star was completely transformed into the Ancestral Continent, and the other four directions were extended.
The North Continent is controlled by the underworld in ancient legends, the South Continent is a demon kingdom established for all demons, the West Continent is transformed into a Buddhist land, the East Continent is under the rule of the Immortal Court, and we are still living in the Zu Continent. "
The withered old man understood clearly and said to himself:
"I see, but why is it called Immortal Court instead of Heavenly Court? It's interesting."
After a pause, his eyes became deep,
The Holy Land of Kongtong is naturally the Kongtong Mountains. Did they disappear two years ago?
According to the previous causal tracing, it was about two years ago that the dark spear fell into the world!
Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little worried, and then asked softly:
"What are the other three holy places?"
Zhou Xiaotong recounted:
"The Holy Land of Dragon and Tiger is where Longhu Mountain was located twelve years ago, located to the east of Zulu. The Holy Land of Wudang is located to the south of what was once Wudang Mountain.
The last Holy Land of Mount Tai is controlled by the Zhuge family and is located in the west to resist the Buddhist land. The northern part of Zulu where we are now was originally suppressed by the Holy Land of Kongtong to resist the ghosts, but "
Lu Xuan frowned, resisting the Buddha Land?
He closed his eyes and meditated. Seeing this, Zhou Xiaotong winked at the two boys and girls.
The latter two understood the situation and quietly moved to the unconscious Chongshan Hu and lifted him up, as if they were ready to run away at any time.
It's not their fault, this old man is too weird. He seems to know Zhou Xiaotong, but Zhou Xiaotong is sure that he doesn't know such an old man at all.
As the three of them moved towards the gate silently,
The withered old man closed his eyes and said slowly:
"My child, are the Northern Hades Palace, Eastern Immortal Palace, Southern Demon Kingdom, and Western Buddha Land you talk about all trying to make things difficult for the human race?"
Zhou Xiaotong’s steps stagnated:
"Senior, that's true."
"Do you know who these lords of the four directions are?"
Zhou Xiaotong said briefly:
"Buddha Land honors the Maitreya Buddha Mother, and the Immortal Court honors the Immortal Mother, but neither of them seem to have arrived. The Northern Underworld is controlled by the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions, and the Southern Demon Kingdom is headed by the Demon Ancestor."
"who??"
Zhou Xiaotong and the others saw the old man stand up suddenly. His body that looked exhausted and thin gave people a sense of majesty.
Frightened, they carried Chongshan Tiger and retreated to the courtyard outside the house.
Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a heavy look, and he said word by word:
"Are you sure you are the [Demon Ancestor]? The Demon Ancestor you are talking about is a woman?"
Zhou Xiaotong is vigilant:
"In the Holy Land of Mount Tai, the elders of the Zhuge family all said so. There should be no difference. As for whether she is a woman, I don't know."
Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat, Demon Ancestor didn't make sense.
He remembered what the Third Master said, the Demon Ancestor has penetrated into the world, could it be an incarnation? Come for the empress? ?
Immediately, Lu Xuan felt a sense of urgency in his heart, and even the speed of absorbing the terrain accelerated a lot.
The realm of the heavens must be attained as soon as possible!
But, what happened in the past?
In other words, what happened outside this world?
Why is Maitreya revered in the Buddha Land? Why does the underworld respect the ghost emperors of the five directions? ?
Why did that guy from the Immortal Mother establish the Immortal Court instead of the Heavenly Court?
Several questions popped up in Lu Xuan's mind. He supported his withered body and paced back and forth. Every few steps he took, the cracks in his lungs were affected by the years. He coughed violently a few times.
After walking for a long time, the coughs kept coming together, which made Zhou Xiaotong and the other two people feel frightened. They always felt as if the old man was going to die suddenly!
For a long time,
Lu Xuan stopped walking, looked sideways and asked:
"You just said that the Holy Land of Mount Tai is controlled by the Zhuge family. Was it someone from the Zhuge family who said that the Demon Ancestor is sitting in the Southern Demon Kingdom?"
"Indeed." Zhou Xiaotong nodded simply.
Lu Xuan suppressed the sense of urgency in his heart, was silent for a moment, and suddenly exhaled:
"By the way, before the Kongtong Holy Land disappeared, was there a person named Yan Jiangxue?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yiyi and Chen Lide had no reaction, but Zhou Xiaotong's heart was shaken violently.
She asked solemnly:
"Who are you? Why do you know Auntie Yan??"
Aunt Xiao Yan?
Lin Yiyi was startled, remembering what Zhou Xiaotong had said before, and asked subconsciously:
"Aunt Zhou, are you talking about the mother of the Lord of Kongtong Holy Land?"
Zhou Xiaotong didn't answer, just stared at the haggard old man.
Lu Xuan was also stunned.
After a long time, he twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a gentle smile:
"Mother, what is the name of the Lord of Kongtong Holy Land? How old is he this year?"
Zhou Xiaotong was silent for a long time this time, without speaking, but suddenly a tired male voice came up.
"The Lord of the Holy Land, Lu Nian, was born three years ago. When he was born, dragons and phoenixes sang together, flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses surged from the ground. He was immortal and shook the heaven and the earth."
Zhou Xiaotong and the others were shocked:
"Brother Shanhu!"
"Uncle Chong!"
Chong Shanhu woke up at some point. With Zhou Xiaotong's support, he barely stood and stared at the haggard old man, seemingly confused.
The withered old man muttered to himself somewhat dumbfounded:
"He was born only three years ago? That little guy became the Lord of Laoshizi Holy Land right after he was born?"
As he spoke, the smile on his face became brighter.
Lu Nian, Nian
Lu Xuan's nose suddenly became sore as he babbled on about this name.
His departure lasted nearly 20,000 years in ancient times, but now it takes twelve years
Twelve years compared to twenty thousand years, seems so insignificant, so insignificant,
but.
Lu Xuan looked at Zhou Xiaotong's white hair on his temples, and at Chongshan Hu's youthful spirit that was no longer there.
Counting from birth, it seems that he has only been in this world for seventeen or eighteen years.
If you only count your current life, you are only twenty-nine years old now?
"So, Lu Nian is already three years old."
Lu Xuan sighed softly, then raised his eyes and looked at Chongshan Hu:
"Were you injured by Tianzun?"
Chongshanhu frowned, feeling that this old man who looked twilight and withered looked familiar, but he couldn't place it clearly, so he said:
"Replying to this senior, he was injured by Chiling Tianzun. May I ask who the senior is? He seems to be quite familiar with Kongtong Holy Land? Have we met before?"
Lu Xuan was speechless. He turned around and picked up the green lamp. As the candle flame flickered, he looked closely at the cause and effect of the Chongshan Tiger.
In the past twelve years, there have been three thousand and eight hundred disasters, big and small.
Among them, there are more than 100 life and death battles.
He nodded slightly, staring at his student Dao Ji who was also almost killed, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
The Supreme One does not protect his disciples.
but.
I'm not in a good mood today, my nose is a little itchy.
Lu Xuan asked peacefully:
"Chiling Tianzun? Which immortal is he from?"
Chong Shanhu frowned even more tightly and said nothing. He just looked at Lu Xuan's wrinkled face full of vicissitudes of life.
Lin Yiyi, on the other hand, plucked up the courage to speak:
"Chiling Tianzun is the great immortal of Immortal Court."
"Is it the Fairy Garden?"
Lu Xuan nodded and suddenly stretched out his hand:
"That rascal?"
Several people were stunned for a moment, and then.
From the horizon, there was a rumbling sound, accompanied by sounds such as fairy music, singing, etc., all overlapping and coming together, so majestic!
The expressions of the four Chongshan Tigers suddenly changed.
Zhou Xiaotong took out the shadow jade and activated it with all his strength. This piece of cold jade glowed, blocking the detection of spiritual thoughts and also covering up the auras of everyone:
"Don't even say anything!"
Zhou Xiaotong shouted urgently.
Immediately, everyone, including Chong Shanhu, held their breath and concentrated. Lin Yiyi and Chen Lide had big beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads, looking horrified.
As the light gradually rose from the horizon and the fairy music approached, the two boys and girls began to tremble slightly, and the sweat became even more intense!
If found, today
When the four of them were either calm or frightened,
Immortal music has reached the top of my head.
"Is it this mountain?"
A majestic voice echoed, and Zhou Xiaotong's face suddenly turned pale. He gritted his teeth and whispered:
"We can't escape, Yiyi and Lide. I'll rush out first later. I'll go north, while you take your Uncle Chong to escape south! Don't hesitate, don't be indecisive!"
Chongshanhu waved his hand and said in a deep voice:
"Your Dao foundation has been completely cut off, and your cultivation has fallen to the level of heaven and human beings. If I can reach the highest level of sublimation, I can briefly return to the peak. I will hold him back!"
There was no doubt in his tone, and he immediately softened his attitude and said:
"Don't fight with me. I'm a member of my lineage, and we don't avoid disasters."
"you!"
Zhou Xiaotong gritted his silver teeth:
"Are you still talking about this? After all these years, the teacher you said you wanted to take you in has never appeared, and you never told me who it was. You just kept talking about the so-called rules all day long!"
She took a deep breath:
"Brother Shanhu, you've taken care of me until now, it's my turn to take care of you!"
Chongshanhu stared, held Zhou Xiaotong down, and said softly:
"As I said before, I'm a member of the same lineage who won't shy away from adversity. There is absolutely no reason why you should be put first."
As he spoke, the heavenly music was deafening. You could hear the sound of large tracts of trees breaking and collapsing. The descending Heavenly Lord was already searching!
Zhou Xiaotong almost burst into tears:
"You belong to your lineage. Your teacher didn't even let you in. He may have died long ago. Don't think about breaking the rules."
"Ahem."
A faint cough sounded, and the four of them subconsciously looked sideways at the haggard old man.
The old man stooped and walked slowly step by step. He coughed violently once or twice and said tiredly:
"Girl, it's not a good habit to speak ill of people behind their backs."
He looked at Chongshan Tiger and smiled slightly:
"Today, I will give you a crown and a title. Well, the momentum for getting started cannot be small. I think the land in the Immortal Courtyard to the east is good and suitable for you to become a disciple."
The four Chongshan Tigers were stunned at the same time, and they were a little unable to react.
Immediately, Chong Shanhu's expression changed. Looking at the old man in front of him, he suddenly became incoherent:
"You, you."
At this time, the sound of the trees breaking has arrived, and a loud laughter can be heard in the sky:
"A Taoist temple? Does it seem like there are still some rays of life left? Let me guess, which ones?"
The words stopped abruptly.
In the confused gazes of Zhou Xiaotong and Lin Yiyi,
The withered old man raised his arm with difficulty, stretched his hand out of the hut, reached to the sky, grabbed the majestic Tianzun, pulled it down suddenly, and smashed it in the courtyard!
"Little guy, be quiet."
The old man retracted his hand, shook off the Tianzun's blood stained on his hand, and said to the courtyard outside the house.
