"Where should I start..." Tianwei Zhenren smiled bitterly: "Everyone says that Penglai Pavilion is a paradise, but they don't know that what is hidden underneath is a purgatory on earth."
The atmosphere was very depressing, but Jiang Yunchen said: "Then let's talk about the story of the saint first."
Immortal Tianwei: "Holy girls are not a tradition handed down from Penglai Pavilion since ancient times. They only appeared in the past 10,000 years. The prosperity of Penglai also started from that time."
Jiang Yunchen understood: "Is it all related to Shenxi Mausoleum?"
"That's right."
Gu Qianning and Ren Jinghua were both core disciples from the big sect, and they had heard something about the Shenxi Mausoleum. However, fringe disciples like Lin Yuan and people like Ping Junhua who came from casual cultivators couldn't understand it at all.
Sure enough, Ping Junhua looked confused: "Shenxi Mausoleum? What is that?"
Master Tianwei replied: "There is a war between gods and demons in the Immortal Continent about every five million years. In the ancient battlefield left after the war, the gods and demon souls are buried, as well as countless magical treasures. According to records, since , there have been four wars between gods and demons, so there is a God's Breath Mausoleum in each world. Countless monks want to enter it to hunt for treasures. However, the location of the God's Breath Tomb is secretive, and secondly, there are many restrictions, making it difficult for non-eighth-level people to set foot, so very few succeed. Not much.
"In recent years, spiritual power has gradually disappeared. The ninth-grade overhaul has become a legend. Those who can cultivate to the eighth-grade are also the top figures of the pyramid. The big sects can barely support themselves by relying on the inheritance of the aristocratic family, but the small sects can only find new ways. Therefore, Penglai Pavilion has been exploring Beihai, eager to find the location of the Beihai Shenxi Mausoleum. Year after year, passed down from generation to generation, we finally got a clue 10,000 years ago.
"The then head of Penglai, Gou Ruozhenren, reached the entrance of the Beihai Shenxi Mausoleum with his eighth-grade cultivation, and spent his whole life building a teleportation array that could enter the Shenxi Mausoleum. After the formation was completed, the leader's energy and blood were exhausted. She died. She left her last words to warn her disciples that the Shenxi Mausoleum is extremely dangerous and they must wait until they have reached the eighth level before they can set foot again."
Jiang Yunchen: "It seems that her warning disciples did not take it to heart."
"Oh, what do the master's last words mean to them? The countless magic weapons buried in the Shenxi Mausoleum are crazy." Master Tianwei smiled miserably: "After the death of Master Gouruo, Penglai Pavilion was in chaos for a while. With support Those who entered the battle to hunt for treasures were also asked to abide by their last words. The civil strife lasted for decades, and finally ended with the new leader Zhu Dan taking over."
Zhao Yisu noticed that he called Zhu Dan by his first name, which showed that the leader had done nothing good.
Sure enough, Tian Wei's next words were filled with deep hatred: "After Zhu Dan came to power, he advocated going to the God's Breathing Tomb to dig for treasures. But what he didn't expect was that in order to prevent his disciples from being overly knowledgeable and underhanded, Master Gou Ruo deliberately set up a teleportation array in the teleportation array. Under the Arrow Rain ban, if a low-level cultivator opens the formation at will, he will be shot on the spot.
"Gou Ruozhenren's original intention was to kill one person as a warning to others, so that the lower cultivators would be afraid and train harder. But what she didn't expect was that people's selfish desires can blind everything. In order to break the restriction, Zhu Dan actually used the human sea tactic, back and forth. Half of the disciples sent to Penglai Pavilion never returned. Until no one was willing to fight again, Zhudan forcibly recruited people on the island. His cultivation level was the highest in Penglai Pavilion, and the news was tightly sealed. Within a hundred years, the entire Penglai was in chaos. I was born in the Tianjia family, and the head of the Tianjia family at that time also died after being forcibly recruited into the army.
"Building Pill has aroused public outrage. Seeing that his position is not guaranteed, he actually has an affair with the demon world and learns the blood sacrifice technique of the demon world. He built a spiritual gate on the teleportation array and asked the disciples in the pavilion to sacrifice flesh and blood to the array, so Another batch of lives were sent into it and perished until a woman successfully returned after joining the battle and brought back a magic weapon. That person became the first saint of Penglai Pavilion, her name was Yan Zhao.
"Yan Zhao entered the battle three more times under the arrangement of the Pavilion Master, and each time he brought back more treasures than the last time. Zhu Dan ordered people to exchange the treasures for spiritual stones and distribute them equally across the island, and promised that from then on, the God's Breath Mausoleum The wealth in it will be guarded by every Penglai person from generation to generation, equally distributed from generation to generation, and passed on from generation to generation... Those treasures are so fascinating that they actually make the Penglai people forget the pain of death of their relatives, and just indulge in it, willing to keep it. The secret became the accomplice of building the pill.
"Yan Zhao did not come back after entering the battle for the fourth time, so Zhudan asked his daughter to join the battle again. Over the years, Penglai Pavilion has accumulated experience and found that people who can come back alive after entering the battle have some common characteristics, such as They are all female, born with good spiritual abilities, and most of them come from the same village, Guyun Village. Thinking that Master Gou Ruo was born in Guyun Village before practicing, Zhudan thinks that Master Gou Ruo may have set up restrictions for himself. The descendants left a trace of kindness.
"Gouruo had good intentions, but he made the entire Guyun Village embark on the road to hell. Since then, Guyun Village has become a place where the entire Penglai is eyeing. If a village woman is pregnant, she is closely guarded. If the child is born If they are girls, they will be taken directly back to Penglai Pavilion. When they grow up, their spiritual roots will be verified, and those who are first-class will stay and become saints. If they are not qualified enough, they will be sent back to the village to continue the task of reproduction."
Zhao Yisu felt depressed when he heard this.
Whether you become a saint or be sent back to the village, once you are born in Guyun Village, it means life-long despair. Penglai Island is surrounded by the sea, and there are restrictions all over the sea. Even if you want to escape, there is nothing you can do.
The entire prosperity of Penglai was actually built on the blood and tears of countless women in Guyun Village. The scary thing is that everyone on Penglai Island just looks on with cold eyes, enjoying the wealth of blood and tears of course. I wonder if they have ever encountered the innocent soul of the saint in their dreams late at night?
Master Tianwei continued: "Year after year, the saints who entered brought back countless treasures with their lives, Lingyun Hall and more pavilions were built... But the number of people in Guyun Village gradually decreased. In addition to the sacrificed saint, there are many people in the village who cannot bear this kind of despair. They commit suicide, die of illness, divorce, and self-mutilate to eliminate the ability to reproduce... there are countless people.
"In order to ensure that there are still saints available, the people of Penglai Pavilion used any means to use obscene pills for the villagers of Guyun Village, forcing them to reproduce, but there were things they couldn't control after all. The offspring produced by these means, the bloodline The quality has become lower, and baby girls with first-class spiritual roots are rarely seen. Secondly, the spiritual power of the teleportation array has declined, and the requirements for the qualifications of saints have become higher and higher. With the blessing of these two factors, there is actually a point where no one can use it.
"So the status of the saints has gone from being mere tools to becoming higher and higher in the pavilion. The saints began to obtain the qualifications to practice in order to give birth to more high-quality baby girls for the sect. It was at this time that , Chao Xue appeared in front of me. She is the mother of Chao Shan and Chao Po. "
