Chapter 277 A shrine, a collapsed mountain gate

Between the mountains, in front of the dilapidated palaces and pavilions.

Tian Yizi's face was calm and his eyes were cold. He glanced at the ruins of these buildings that had decayed and collapsed for an unknown number of years. He stood still and remained silent for a long time.

"Shan De, do you know where this palace is?" He suddenly spoke and turned to look at the middle-aged Taoist priest beside him.

"I don't know." Taoist Shande shook his head. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, with a kind face and a calm expression. "Looking at the style of the building, it should be the style of the southwest region during the Central Dynasty."

After the Tianyang War, the original Central Dynasty was divided into three countries. Over time, different customs and architectural styles evolved. There are certain differences from the architectural style before the Tianyang War. It is easy for those who know how to do it. You can tell.

"Yes, this was once the mountain gate of the Zhixu Sect." Tian Yizi walked forward with his hands behind his back, stepping through the broken mountain gate step by step, stepping on the broken stairs, and walking towards the front there were only broken walls. palace view.

"Zhixu Sect?" Taoist Shande couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words. He looked around and said in surprise: "It is said that the heavenly beings of Zhixu Sect died mysteriously during the Battle of Tianyang, and even the original mountain gate station disappeared. It turned out to be Photographed in this cave?"

"That's right." Tian Yizi nodded as he walked and said, "However, those who do these things are not the work of heaven and humans. If my prediction is correct, there should be more than just the gate of the Zhixu sect in this square cave. Perhaps There is also the one from Jiange.

"Other mountain gates that mysteriously disappeared during the Tianyang War, such as the Shangqing Dao, Pure Land Sect, and Ten Thousand Dharmas Return to One Sect, are probably all located in this cave."

"How is that possible?!" Taoist Shande was shocked. The sects mentioned by Tian Yizi were all top sects that were famous and prosperous before the Tianyang War.

Some are derived from the inheritance of the Nine Saints in the Middle Ages, and some have already existed in the ancient mythological era. Except that there are no gods, there are not a few Tao Lords.

"Is there anything impossible? During the Tianyang War, if you don't have a god, you don't have the power to control your own destiny." Tianyizi still walked forward, suddenly chuckled and shook his head, "No, even if there is a god It may not be the first grade..."

Having said this, he suddenly paused, stopped, stopped to watch, and quickly smiled, "We're here."

Shan De also listened and looked around.

There is a huge jade base here, with a pile of broken and decayed building fragments on it, piled up like a mountain, and the original outline of the building can no longer even be seen.

However, something seems to be buried under these architectural fragments, and only a small part can now be vaguely seen.

"Is this the front mountain hall of the Zhixu Sect?" Taoist Shande's expression became serious as he carefully examined the ruins of the building in front of him.

The Qianshan Hall is the area where the sect usually builds a very grand palace after entering the mountain gate. It will enshrine a certain leader in the sect who is recognized as second only to the founder.

This palace is second only to the Patriarch's Palace in terms of architectural specifications and overall positioning, and is a level higher than the Headmaster's Palace.

In the Middle Ages, this was a very common architectural pattern.

"Yes, it is the front mountain hall of Zhixu Sect."

Tian Yizi nodded gently, and suddenly he waved his sleeves, stirring up the vitality of heaven and earth in all directions. Immediately, strong winds gathered and directly blew away the ruins of the palace.

The architectural fragments on the jade base were swept up by the strong wind and fell behind the main hall on the front mountain. The things previously buried by them finally came to light again.

This is a shrine that has collapsed.

The statue of the god is enshrined in the shrine.

The statue looks like a Taoist priest holding a jade slip, wearing a high crown and robes. There is a cloud relief under the seat, and the overall look is miraculous.

"This is the third headmaster of the Zhixu Sect, Taoist Qingyu." Tian Yizi looked at the statue with a complicated expression, and sighed softly: "Being a Taoist master in the dark era, he should have led the Zhixu Sect to prosperity. , but fell into the hands of the thirty-six gods.

"However, it was precisely because of his strength that the Zhixu Sect was able to survive the most difficult period and survive until the prosperous medieval era after the destruction of the Thirty-Six Gods.

“Only then could the ‘Yuan Daoist’, who was a first-level Taoist god in the Middle Ages, be as famous as our Taixu Temple, Chunyang Palace, and Taishang Dao Palace.

"It's a pity that the current Zhixu Sect has declined after all. I heard some time ago that the current leader of the Zhixu Sect is actually only a seventh-level warrior. It's really ridiculous."

"Yes." Taoist Shande nodded and said: "The Zhixu Sect was attacked by the evil Nine-Death Sect three years ago. The head elder and all the strong men of the third level were killed, and the sect's classics were almost looted.

"This once-famous sect, which has been inherited from the ancient mythological era, has no hope in the future."

"Yes." Tian Yizi nodded slightly, with a look of pity on his face.

Then he stepped forward, walked slowly to the statue of Qingyu Taoist, raised his hand and pressed it on the jade slip in the statue's hand, and said: "Qingyu, the Zhixu Sect is almost dead. The Zhixu Sect's magical scriptures It’s all lost, you know?”

The statue was still covered in dust, motionless, and did not give any response.

Tian Yizi stood for a long time and frowned. He was about to say something when he suddenly sensed some changes in the vitality of the world around him.

It seemed like someone was flying towards me at a very fast speed.

"It's the three people from Chunyang Palace." After all, Taoist Shan De is a fifth-grade master, and his Dharma image has been completed. His spiritual sense is extremely strong, and he directly sensed the whereabouts of Zhou Heng and others.

"Flying?" Tian Yizi was slightly stunned, and asked in confusion: "Using a secret treasure?"

Zhou Heng and the other two have not reached the sixth-grade secret, and they have no accompanying protectors. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to fly, unless there is a special secret treasure.

"Yes, it is a secret treasure." Taoist Shan De nodded.

"Chunyang Palace... Zhixu Sutra..." Tian Yizi's thoughts turned around in his mind, and he thought for a while, and said: "Shande, when they pass by here, shoot them down, Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian will be alive."

"Yes." Taoist Shan De said respectfully.

...

Above the clouds.

Zhou Heng, Cheng Jiangjian, and Zhu Zhenzhen sat on the cloud light and flew at a high speed. After flying over the vast grassland, they finally saw the undulating mountains, and they were a little excited.

——This flying secret treasure only needs to consume some internal energy when it is activated. The consumption of flying is actually a spiritual material called "Yuan Ling Jing". One Yuan Ling Crystal can fly millions of miles.

"With the ups and downs of the mountains, it means that this world is not just grasslands. As long as we continue to fly forward, we may find people." Zhou Heng smiled as he looked at the mountains in the distance.

"Well, I still have a lot of Yuan Ling Crystals, enough for us to fly for a long time." Cheng Jiangjian also nodded and smiled, "It should be enough for us to find some clues."

"I really don't understand, what did that Zhao Zhen or Zhao Qin bring us to this world for?" Zhu Zhenzhen pouted, with a puzzled look on her face.

"I'm afraid we have to wait until we find..." Zhou Heng's words suddenly paused, and he stood up directly. His expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Just now a divine sense swept over, someone is spying on us, be careful."

His soul had already broken through the limit of the seventh level of martial arts, not weaker than any sixth level of secrets, and due to the addition of the two basic attributes of spirit and spiritual roots, his perception ability even exceeded most of the sixth level of secrets.

Therefore, although Shan De Taoist is a powerful person of the fifth rank of the sect, he did not deliberately cover up his traces during the previous spying, so Zhou Heng would naturally sense it.

Cheng Jiangjian and Zhu Zhenzhen also became solemn when they heard this.

Especially Cheng Jiangjian, she gently patted the jade gourd on her waist, and immediately five secret treasures flew out of it, shining with various colors, surrounding the three people and forming a defense.

These secret treasures have shields, screens, silk shapes, etc., all of which are shining with bright light. They are closely connected with each other and directly form a simple defense array.

Such spirituality and magical effects are mostly magic weapons of the sixth rank.

Zhou Heng felt that Cheng Jiangjian exuded the breath of money at this moment.

Where did this girl get so many sixth rank magic weapons?

It's too much.

However, he only kept this feeling for a few short breaths.

When the three of them flew forward for a distance, a sword light suddenly rose from the mountains, rushed straight into the sky, and locked onto them.

This sword light was extremely powerful, and it pierced through the clouds in an instant and came to the sky, like a pillar of light that penetrated the sky and the earth, splitting the world in front into two halves.

The incomparable terrible power contained in this sword seemed to make the laws of the surrounding heaven and earth submit to this sword light, and all things in the world were dimmed.

Facing such a sword light, ordinary seventh-grade peaks could not raise any thoughts of resistance at all.

Because it was too strong.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how powerful the seventh-grade peak was, facing such a sword light, they would feel as small as an ant and insignificant.

But whether it was Zhou Heng or Cheng Jiangjian, they were not ordinary seventh-grade peaks, and now was not a normal situation.

Almost at the moment when this sword light rushed up.

The five secret sixth-grade magic weapons that Cheng Jiangjian activated were activated. They had already formed a defensive formation, forming a colorful light curtain, protecting the three people inside.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the sword light fell on the light curtain. In just a moment, Cheng Jiangjian turned pale, blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and the light curtain shattered. The five secret sixth-grade magic weapons wailed and fell on the cloud light.

Cheng Jiangjian was not a true secret sixth-grade after all. Even if he could activate five secret sixth-grade magic weapons at the same time, he could not exert their full power.

With her current seventh-grade peak cultivation, being able to block such a sword light for a moment was already the limit.

However, even if it was only this moment, it gave Zhou Heng a chance to resist.

He used all his strength to throw Cheng Jiangjian and Zhu Zhenzhen to both sides, and faced the sword light alone. He was instantly annihilated by the sword light and shattered to pieces.

But there was no trace of blood, only pieces of paper figures were shredded by the sword light.

At the moment when the sword light was approaching, Zhou Heng used the Wood Escape Technique dozens of times in succession, using the paper figures to flash and avoid the extremely terrifying sword light.

At the same time, the cloud light secret treasure was also completely shattered by the sword light, turning into light fragments and disappearing into smoke.

The three people fell directly from the sky.

Cheng Jiangjian made a prompt decision and forced his internal energy to activate a red silk-like magic weapon, which immediately extended a long red light and caught the three people.

But this red silk magic weapon had no ability to fly, so it could only drag the three people to land in the mountains below.

At this time, at the ruins of the mountain gate of Zhixu Sect.

Taoist Shan De looked at the red light in the sky, and couldn't help but marveled, and laughed: "These three people actually have such skills, they are worthy of being the two strongest young generation of Chunyang Palace."

"After all, Chunyang Palace is a place that can be as famous as our Taixu Temple, so it should not be underestimated." Tian Yizi looked at the red light falling from the sky quietly, and said: "Shande, you have to be careful of Zhou Heng. He is the reincarnation of a great man, and he has too many back-up plans."

"Yes." Shan De nodded.

He didn't make another move. After all, the original purpose was just to shoot down Zhou Heng and others, not to kill them. Because of this, he used less than 10% of his strength in the sword just now.

In this way, Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian could defend and dodge.

A moment later, Zhou Heng, Cheng Jiangjian, and Zhu Zhenzhen, shrouded in the red silk light, also descended into the ruins of the palace and pavilion, and saw the collapsed shrine of Taoist Qingyu.

Naturally, he also saw Tianyizi and Shande Taoist.

"Tianyizi? Why were you also captured by Zhao Zhen and Zhao Qin?" Zhou Heng's eyes swept over Tianyizi and Shande Taoist, and said in a deep voice: "You should know what they want to do."

"No, you are wrong." Tianyizi shook his head and chuckled: "I don't know what they are going to do, and I am not interested. I just want to come to this cave world."

"Is this place special?" Zhou Heng tried to ask.

"It is indeed a little special." Tianyizi saw Zhou Heng's thoughts, but for some reason he did not point it out, but continued: "This is the former mountain gate of Zhixu Sect. This shrine is the Taoist Lord 'Qingyu Taoist' who led Zhixu Sect through the dark ages."

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Heng frowned.

"The Zhixu Sutra read by the disciples of Chunyang Palace comes from the founder of Zhixu Sect, Taoist Shoujing." Tianyizi's smile became more and more intense, "I want you to do me a favor."

"What if I say no?" Zhou Heng's eyes were slightly blurred. He had prepared several special skill cards and could use them at any time.

A powerful fifth-grade master is here, so we must be on guard.

"Unfortunately, you don't have the qualifications to say no." Tianyizi's smile became more intense, and then his expression became sarcastic. He turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, saying lightly: "Shande, kill Zhu Zhenzhen first."

Before he finished speaking, Taoist Shande moved.

But at the same time, Zhou Heng also moved. He raised his hand and pointed at Taoist Shande.

"Pregnant!!"
