Main text Chapter 281: The devil in the heart (I)
"Sisi..." The three-headed green snake spit out its scarlet tongue and stared at the two quietly. In its bean-sized eyes, a fierce light flashed. At this moment, Xiaoqing's key flickered quietly, and a hazy green light shot towards the top of the three-headed green snake. A black rune appeared quietly.
The next second, Xu Yangyi's pupils shrank suddenly. Because... that green snake actually swelled like a balloon! In the blink of an eye, it became as thick as a bucket! Twenty or thirty meters long! Moreover, its head bit its tail, forming a strange ring!
In the center of the ring, a crystal green aura emanated from it, and it actually formed a barrier with its body!
"This is..." Li Zongyuan took a breath and trembled: "Senior Xiaoqing... the treasure house she said... is, this snake?"
Xu Yangyi was also full of emotion. Who would have thought that this snake itself was a treasure house, and it was not in the cave he thought it was!
"Let's go." He suppressed his heartbeat, waved his hand, and flashed into the light circle. Li Zongyuan didn't think twice and followed him in immediately.
The familiar feeling of teleportation appeared. When Xu Yangyi opened his eyes again, even though he had been to the bottom of Danxia Palace, he couldn't help but take a deep breath at this moment.
Jewels and jewels, glittering!
Any words to describe everything in front of you are not an exaggeration!
Where they are is a huge cave, and a series of talismans that make you feel a splitting headache are passing through it. These green talismans emit a faint green light, dyeing the entire cave green.
What surprised him was not this, but the spiritual energy... a pure spiritual energy! As soon as they stepped in, it immediately rushed into every pore of theirs! It made them feel like they were soaking in a hot spring, and Li Zongyuan even let out a sigh of comfort.
"Too rich..." After feeling it for a minute, Li Zongyuan reluctantly opened his eyes and looked around in shock: "What on earth is this place... Why is there such a rich spiritual energy? I, even in the spirit gathering array, I have never felt such a rich spiritual energy..."
Xu Yangyi was also surprised. Not to mention Li Zongyuan, even he, who had enjoyed the high-level spirit gathering array for a long time, had never felt such pure and terrifying spiritual energy.
That... You don't need to absorb it yourself, but rush into your body! The skin can't stop it at all!
In less than a minute after stepping in, he already felt that his cultivation began to loosen! A little bit of it came up!
Resisting the desire to sit down and practice immediately, he closed all his pores and prohibited all spiritual energy from rushing in.
This is like drugs. Heroin is diluted. No one dares to touch pure heroin. Even if you are a glutton, you will die if you touch the purest heroin. The same is true for spiritual energy.
If he indulges in this feeling and absorbs all the spiritual energy here recklessly, he will probably rush to the half-step foundation building immediately, or even directly build the foundation, but then he will explode and die.
His eyes looked at the cave wall, because the source of all the spiritual energy came from the cave wall.
At one glance, his eyes flashed, he took a deep breath, and stood there in shock.
Beside him, Li Zongyuan seemed to see a god, and trembled: "Oh my God... What, what is this..."
In this space of more than 100 meters, above the cave wall. Surrounded by five treasures, divided into five-pointed star sections, each ten meters apart. The spiritual energy they exude is enough to make people tremble.
Behind them, a two-meter-sized circular magic circle is emitting green light on the ground.
A section of green bamboo, with countless bloodstains on it, Xu Yangyi and Li Zongyuan have never heard of what this is, but at one glance, the spiritual energy in their bodies instantly boiled! As if it was going to burst out of their bodies and rush towards the green bamboo!
"Swish..." Just as they were concentrating on watching, a line of small golden characters slowly emerged, "According to mortal legend, in the early Tang Dynasty, this palace incarnated as the first person to walk in Chang'an. A low-level cultivator named Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang presented this bamboo and led thousands of low-level cultivators to kneel in front of this palace, praying that this palace would stay away from Chang'an and protect the prosperity of the Li Tang Dynasty. This palace agreed."
"This bamboo is called Shengling Bamboo. It grows for a thousand years, lives for a thousand years, and matures in another thousand years. If implanted in the body, it can form a virtual spirit body of the ten major immortal bodies and become an immortal on the spot. The spiritual roots of the sky wood are perfect."
"Heh..." This sound came from Li Zongyuan's mouth, and Xu Yangyi could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Li Chunfeng... Yuan Tiangang... Who is that?
They can be said to be the two most famous charlatans in Chinese history... No, prophets!
Their eternal masterpiece "Tui/Bei Tu," predicts a thousand years in the past and a thousand years in the future! It is known as the first prophecy book in China! What is Nostradamus? These two gods... no, prophets, even predicted the Qing army's entry into the pass in the Tang Dynasty, and Mao Taizu and Deng Taizong took over the new China!
Legend has it that Li Chunfeng used Zhouyi Bagua to make calculations, but he didn't expect to get addicted to it. He couldn't stop and even calculated the fate of China for more than 2,000 years after the Tang Dynasty, until Yuan Tiangang pushed his back and said, "The secret of heaven can't be leaked anymore, so go back and rest." Therefore, this prophecy book was named "Tui/Bei Tu".
These two people must be monks, and their cultivation must be high! Otherwise, it would be impossible to predict more than 2,000 years later! However, no one expected that Xiaoqing would call them "low-level monks" in a contemptuous tone, and even more unexpectedly, these two leaders of Taoism at the time actually asked Xiaoqing not to enter Chang'an to protect the prosperity!
Xu Yangyi looked at the bamboo with emotion. This is just Xiaoqing's incarnation... A few words from him, that proud legacy, in the world, like a god or Buddha, is extremely clear.
"Li Zongyuan." After a long silence, Xu Yangyi tried to calmly say: "Have you heard of the ten immortal bodies?"
"No..." Li Zongyuan resisted the urge to worship, his voice was floating: "No, but... I, I have heard of spiritual roots..."
"I have heard of it too." Xu Yangyi looked at the bamboo and said slowly: "Once, in the ancient cultivation era, spiritual roots were divided into gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and there were also mutant spiritual roots of ice, thunder, and perhaps others, but now... they have disappeared in the long river of history..."
Then, he resisted the urge to take it and shook his head.
He didn't know why, although he didn't know how to do it, he couldn't take it.
This thing might be of great help to him in the future. It was something that Xiaoqing liked, and it was a treasure that the two leaders of the century-old Taoism, the two greatest prophets in China, jointly sent... The virtual immortal body was by no means trivial. However, it could not help him survive the disaster.
The border between Xichuan and Longsu Province... At this moment, they must have been ready for battle! The air was filled with murderous intent!
He looked at the second treasure.
It was... a piece of charred wood struck by lightning.
Straight, dark, and as thick as a thumb.
This charred wood seemed to have nothing special. Li Zongyuan curiously extended his spiritual consciousness and explored it. He immediately turned pale and sweated all over his body!
"What?" Xu Yangyi raised his eyebrows slightly, but he immediately found that Li Zongyuan's pupils were getting more and more scattered! It turned out to be a sign that his spiritual consciousness was about to be shattered!
"Fuck!" Xu Yangyi stretched out his hand to wake him up, but as soon as his hand touched, an extremely terrifying force pushed him back a hundred meters away!
At this moment, a painting seemed to unfold in front of him.
It was a rainy night, and a young man in a Taoist robe fought a woman in green in the rain! The battlefield of the two was not on the ground... but above the clouds!
Sometimes there were thousands of precious auras, sometimes there were demonic auras, and countless clouds around were shaken and dispersed. Even the moon seemed to be shaking!
He suddenly grabbed the key, and then he felt that those images disappeared. Then, he immediately threw the key to Li Zongyuan, hitting the other party's forehead, and trembled all over. Then he collapsed all over.
"Are you okay?" Xu Yangyi asked softly. No matter what Li Zongyuan was like before, he was still loyal to him. He was not the kind of person who would cross the river and destroy the bridge.
Li Zongyuan's lips were black and blue, and he didn't speak for a long time. Xu Yangyi took out a bottle of elixir and drank it. After half an hour, Li Zongyuan came back to his senses with a shiver.
"This is... Zhang Tianshi's whisk..." Knowing what Xu Yangyi was going to ask, he trembled and said: "It's not Taoist Ancestor Zhang Daoling... but... the 30th generation Zhang Tianshi... known as the strongest Tianshi under Taoist Ancestor... Zhang Jixiantianshi..."
"Zhang Jixian?" Xu Yangyi thought about it in his mind. This name is unfamiliar, but he has definitely heard of it.
"Master... have you heard of Guan Yu's deification?" Li Zongyuan asked after regaining some spirit.
Xu Yangyi, a martial arts master and a poor student, shook his head naturally.
"Master... Guan Erye's divine title is 'Chongning Zhenjun.' And this title... is because Song Huizong asked Zhang Jixian, the ancestor, to kill the evil dragon, and Zhang Tianshi summoned Guan Yu with a talisman. Song Huizong was shocked and ejected a copper coin, which happened to be a copper coin from the Chongning period, so... Guan Yu was deified..."
"In addition, after him, the Tianshi lineage did not live more than ten years. After him, the Tianshi Dao led the three ancestral temples... Qingcheng, Longhu, and Heming, all under the command of Zhang Tianshi... He was the second Tianshi after Zhang Daozu to comprehend the palm thunder, and since him... the palm thunder was cut off ..."
Xu Yangyi looked deeply at the charred wood: "Could this be... the treasure left after Xiaoqing's incarnation fought with Zhang Tianshi?"
"It's not a treasure..." Li Zongyuan seemed to recall something, and his whole body trembled: "It's... a souvenir..."
"Xiaoqing's ancestor's true body descended... and spent nine hundred years of his life... and fought with Zhang Jixiantian Master on Longhu Mountain for seven days and seven nights... Zhang Tianshi... lost..."
"This... is the souvenir left by Senior Xiaoqing, the demon king of all waters..."
Even Xu Yangyi couldn't help but take a breath.
Zhang Tianshi's lineage... is so glorious, the leader of Taoism, but... he is known as the second person under the Taoist ancestor, but he fought with this 3,600-year-old peerless demon without anyone knowing! And he lost!
This piece of ordinary charred wood records the glory of the ancient cultivator.
Without thinking any further, he looked at the third treasure.
This is a set of magic weapons.
The moment he saw it, Xu Yangyi's eyes lit up.
A set of armor, snake-shaped armor, just like the Saint Seiya comics he had seen by chance, which could cover the whole body.
On its left hand side, there was a ring. It was not appropriate to call it a ring, because its outer ring was a circle of shiny blades, extremely sharp.
On the right hand side, there was a flying bird-shaped shield, which automatically surrounded the left and right sides of the armor.
