Chapter 73: Jade Terrace
Taiyu Shengzong, Jade Terrace.
"Within the Luoxia Mountains, there is a bloodline of a ghost that opens the mind."
He sat hunched over on the futon, with many folds on his old Taoist robe, and looked up at the bronze statue that was enshrined behind the desk.
The inside of the hall was very dark, with only dozens of shaky lights, and even the dojo outside the hall was dead silent, with no living beings left.
Even the great masters within the Jade Terrace seem to have forgotten that there is an ancient dojo that has been neglected for a long time at the edge of the world.
The face of the statue was very blurred, as if responding to the man's words, a hazy gray light condensed from the feet of the statue, and in a moment it turned into an old man in a gray robe.
The old man wears a crown of nine beads on his head, and there are dense seal inscriptions on the gray robes.
"Yu Jingtian, if I remember correctly, you haven't spoken for 23,000 years?"
The gray-robed old man lowered his gaze and looked at the Taoist who was still sitting on the futon.
The man just laughed to himself.
"Yu Jingtian." The gray-robed old man still maintained enough patience.
"You, the high-ranking city god, you can still remember me." Yu Jingtian stood up and tugged at the front of the wrinkled Taoist robe.
The gray-robed old man flicked his sleeves, and hundreds of lights burned in the hall.
"Don't forget, this hall is one of my several temples dedicated to worship," the Lord of the City God seemed a little helpless, "You stay in the temple for more than 20,000 years, and you can't drive it away, what do you want me to do? forget?"
Yu Jingtian pointed to the outside of the hall and said with a smile: "This Jade Terrace, this Taiyu Holy Sect, can you still accommodate me?"
The City God Zun fell silent.
The Taiyu Shengzong is a behemoth that traverses the entire Yuanyan world, and the gray-robed old man is the Yuanyan City God who commands many gods in the Yuanyan world. The relationship between the two is extremely complicated. For the Taiyu Shengzong The matter within the sect, this City God Venerable God has never spoken much.
"The bloodline of the mysterious ghost is really rare," the gray-robed old man was silent for a moment, and then said, "But in the Yuanyan realm for 20,000 years, no creatures that can survive the three calamities have ever been born. Where does the bloodline of Tongxuan Heart Ghost come from?"
Yu Jingtian sat back on the futon again, and said feebly, "Can't you trace the source to investigate?"
The gray-robed old man glanced at him, closed his eyes slightly, the divine imprint on the robe shone with dazzling divine light, and a vast and ethereal aura surged out around him.
After counting his breaths, he opened his eyes, and there were obvious emotional fluctuations in his tone, and said solemnly: "Tongxuan Xinguifu has survived the three disasters since he was born. At this time, the god-level divine power can spy on it. However, there are some clues left on the body of this mysterious heart ghost bloodline."
Yu Jingtian's mind moved and said, "Why is your tone a bit wrong?"
Yuanyan City God Zunshen's expression was obviously much more awe-inspiring, and he said, "You can see for yourself."
As the sleeve robes were rolled up, a light curtain condensed out from the hall, and several extremely clear pictures appeared one by one.
...
"What are you holding in your hand?"
Ji Hong's tone trembled slightly.
Zhao Yinyue raised her finger and showed a piece of wood carving.
It was a creature that Ji Hong had never seen before.
This living being stands barefoot, surrounded by fiery golden silk sashes, and six instruments of bell, drum, wooden fish, golden bowl, pestle, and treasure hammer are suspended behind it.
"Yue'er, what is this?!" Ji Hong became more and more terrified, "Here can only worship the god of the land of Taichu! What kind of woodcarving are you holding!?"
Zhao Yinyue said softly: "The creatures carved by this wood carving are not the righteous gods of heaven and earth in Beiju Luzhou, but 'Arhat', have you heard of it?"
Beiju Luzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Courts, and countless living beings in it worship countless gods of heaven and earth and many Taoist gods.
"Yue'er, what happened to you?"
"I just know the fate I'm about to usher in." The girl sighed and put the wooden sculpture down.
At this time, Ji Hongcai was able to realize that she had several wooden carvings of different shapes at hand. Although they were slightly different from the "Arhat", they were very similar in some aspects.
...
"What kind of wood carving is that, why have I never seen it?"
The light curtain disintegrated and Yu Jingtian had already stood up straight with a solemn expression.
The City God Zunshen was a little hesitant to speak.
Yu Jingtian's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "The blood of the mysterious heart ghost is extremely important, and even in some aspects it is related to the development of the Taiyu Shengzong within ten thousand years. I don’t dare to be sloppy in this matter.”
The City God Zun was silent for a while, and said, "Do you know that beyond the almost endless boundless territory of Beiju Luzhou, there is a remote world beyond reach?"
Yujingtian nodded and said: "Although Beiju Luzhou is vast, it is not really endless. I once knew from ancient books that there are the other three major provinces, the thirty-three days of heaven and the twenty-three between heaven and earth. There are four heavenly holy realms, and there are countless immortal island dojos and Shangzhen court."
"The vastness of the heavens and the earth is unpredictable," the Lord of the City God nodded and said, "Even a tyrannical creature like you in the realm of the Divine Palace and Suspicious Realm has never even gone out to a small Yuanyan realm."
Yu Jingtian frowned, but did not refute.
Yuanyan City God Zun Shen glanced at him and continued: "I used to be a reincarnation of a small Suyan Mountain God, who practiced hard for more than 100,000 years, and broke through the third rank after accumulating a lot of money, and then I can be worthy of today's Yuan Dynasty. Yandi Realm City God."
"After I attained the status of the City God, there are many memories in the derived seal of the City God, so I have some guesses about the origin of this wood carving."
"The creatures carved on it do not exist in Beiju Luzhou, but come from the legendary Xiniu Hezhou."
Yu Jingtian murmured in a low voice: "Xiniu Hezhou, only exists in the recorded places."
Yuanyan City God Zun Shen sneered and said: "The records in those ancient books are almost all true, but you are too small to be seen in this life."
"Then, should this mysterious bloodline be retrained?" In Yu Jingtian's eyes, there was a bit of thought.
"This is the matter of your Taiyu Shengzong, and it has nothing to do with me." Yuanyan City God Zun shook his head, lightly flicked his sleeves, and left the hall with the divine light.
Yu Jingtian was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud to himself.
"Forget it, although I still hold the position of the master of the Jade Terrace, but almost no one in the Taiyu Sect knows me, why should I be so concerned about the sect?"
After saying this, he sat back on the futon and regained his powerless appearance. The interior of the hall gradually dimmed until it was completely dead.
