Golden flames filled the entire ancestral temple.
In just a few breaths, the temperature in the ancestral temple was like the desert at noon, which was unbearable.
"Dad, this flame is..." An Chengtai asked doubtfully.
An Moshan looked at this golden flame and said in a deep voice: "This is the hope for the rise of our An family."
An Moshan paused, with a complicated look on his face, and golden flames reflected in his eyes.
An Chengtai could feel the terrifying power contained in the golden flame, which was far more powerful than anyone he had ever met.
But before this, An Chengtai had never known that such a powerful force existed in the An family's ancestral temple.
An Moshan continued: "About sixty years ago, something strange happened in the desert outside Yumen City. All the yellow sand flowed back into the center of the desert. Storms continued, flying sand filled the sky, and the weather was hotter than usual. This The vision lasted for more than a month, and many people on the edge of the desert died."
"Some people say that this is a punishment from heaven. Some people say that this is the birth of a strange treasure... In short, after the vision disappeared, some practitioners went into the desert to investigate the situation. I also walked into the desert."
An Moshan looked at the golden flame with fiery eyes.
That choice was the most correct in his life.
"After walking for an unknown number of days and nights, I was swept into the depths of the earth by quicksand. There was a cave there. It was extremely hot. In just a few breaths, my whole body was soaked with sweat."
"It was also in that cave that I got this golden flame."
An Moshan took out a scroll from behind the spiritual throne.
There are some mysterious words written on the scroll, which are strangely shaped and definitely not owned by humans.
"At that time, there were other people in the cave, Mr. Yu from the Wuxiang Palace, the Buddha from the Buddhist Temple, and the Jade Guanyin Chanjing from the Miaoyin Temple... These were all young and powerful people who were famous in Ximo Prefecture. By."
"At first, there were many night ghosts in the cave. We didn't know that those disgusting and ugly humanoid creatures were night ghosts. Several battles took place in succession, and with the combined efforts of everyone, almost all night ghosts were killed."
"Until they faced this golden flame, everyone could no longer hide their greed in their hearts, and the stoicism they usually talked about was fed to the dogs. Everyone could see that the golden flame contained huge power, and everyone wanted to bring it back The sect can become the supreme power through this.”
"The battle lasted for an unknown amount of time. The young strong men attacked each other and suffered numerous casualties. In the end, I was the only one who survived. I brought it out of the desert underground. And the text on the scroll was also rubbed from the stone wall of the cave."
"I kept reading ancient books and secretly deciphering these words. It was not until a few years ago that I fully understood the meaning of these words."
An Moshan stared at the golden flame and said with reverence and excitement: "This flame is called the Great Sun Golden Flame, and it is the belief of night ghosts. It is ridiculous to say that those disgusting things hiding in the darkness actually believe in this The most powerful flame."
"The power of the Great Sun Golden Flame is too terrifying. Over the past decades, I have slowly absorbed its power and practiced in secret. From the seventh level of the Open Monument to the ninth level of the Open Monument today. From an unknown person to a prince. These are all Rely on the golden flame of the great sun.”
An Moshan felt excited as he recalled the past decades.
This has always been a secret buried deep in his heart.
Now he told An Chengtai completely because he wanted to get a share of the troubled times.
"Chengtai. I know that since King Xiang Ji of Chu rebelled, night ghosts appeared in Ximo State, and everyone is in danger. Many forces are secretly uniting, and some people are extending an olive branch to our Anwuhou Mansion."
"Union is good. But what a father wants is not just self-protection, but the entire West Desert State!"
An Chengtai was shocked. He never thought that his father, who had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, would have such thoughts.
An Chengtai asked tentatively: "Dad, do you want to make yourself king?"
"Not bad!" An Moshan looked extremely determined. He had been planning this matter for many years and was just waiting to take advantage of the chaos.
"Nowadays, the Xiang Ji rebels in Nanzhou Prefecture are unstoppable. The Emperor of Chu cannot care about the situation in Ximo Prefecture. Over the years, I have secretly contacted some old friends. As long as I wait for the troops to rise, Ximo Prefecture will be at our fingertips."
"Our An family still has the Great Sun Golden Flame in our hands. If my father can completely control the Great Sun Golden Flame and step into the realm of a master, who in the world can stop me from An Jia?"
An Chengtai's unprecedented ambition was also ignited at this moment.
"Dad, whatever you plan next, it's all up to you."
An Moshan raised his hand, and a stream of true energy enveloped the golden flames of the sun. However, the golden flames soared, extremely repelling An Moshan's control.
This is the holy fire of the Night Ghost Clan, how can it be easily controlled?
An Moshan continued: "I have been looking for a way to control the golden flame of the great sun, but there has been no result. There are two kinds of spiritual fire in the world, one is the green flame of Cangshan Mountain, and the other is the cast The Amaterasu True Fire in the Sword Mountain Sword House."
"Both of these forces can completely control the spiritual fire. But the method of controlling the spiritual fire is not very good. Cangshan Mountain is guarded by Biejian Cangjie, and there are countless swordsmiths in the Sword Cottage."
"But now the opportunity is here."
An Moshan suppressed the excitement in his heart, his long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled.
An Chengtai still doesn't understand.
In the An family's ancestral temple, the golden sun was suspended in the sky, and the rising golden flame seemed to herald the rise of their An family.
...
...
Although An Chengtai came to provoke him, the disciples of Miaoyin Temple still took turns in Yumen City every day, looking for traces of night ghosts.
Unfortunately, it is still not clear what the night ghost is looking for.
Yu Zhi held the jade pendant in his hand. He seemed to have seen such a shape somewhere, but he couldn't remember what happened in the past few days.
Zhu Lan and Qiu Ruoruo sat beside Yu Zhi.
Zhu Qing and Yu Lan went to recuperate Zen Jing's body.
"Outside Yumen City, in the desert..."
Zen Jing left such a sentence when he was awake, but there were no more clues.
"Miss Zhulan, did something happen in the desert decades ago?" Yu Zhi asked. "Master Zenjing left such half a sentence, she might have escaped from the desert."
Zhu Lan quickly replied: "Master once said this. In the year when the young master was poisoned, there was indeed something strange in the desert. It is said that the yellow sand flowed back and turned into a floating sea of sand that swallowed up many people around it. Village. And the young master returned to the mountain not long after that."
"Why didn't you talk about such an important thing a few days ago?" Yu Zhi said speechlessly.
Zhu Lan stuck out her tongue and said, "Master once went to explore that desert and found nothing strange. Maybe it's not worth mentioning."
Suddenly, Zhu Lan suggested: "How about we go and see it together?"
Qiu Ruoruo's eyes lit up and she echoed: "I have never seen a desert. Do you really want to see it?"
Yu Zhi glanced at Qiu Ruoruo and sighed in his heart.
"Let's go. Take Yu Lan with you. Otherwise, this girl will cause trouble again."
The two women nodded quickly.
Finally, Zhu Qing and Yu Lan also went down the mountain together. A group of five people left Miaoyin Temple.
They said they were going to look for clues from back then, but decades had passed, the wind had blown away the sand, and the desert terrain had changed, so how could we start looking for it.
It's just to fulfill Qiu Ruoruo's wish.
Yu Zhi looked at the vast desert. An autumn sun hung high in the sky, turning the entire desert into a golden color.
Decades have passed, and the story of that year is longer than the time I have been alive.
Where can I find anything?
Qiu Ruoruo and Yu Lan ran barefoot on the sand. Yu Lan was used to it, but Qiu Ruoruo... This was the first time Yu Zhi saw Qiu Ruoruo put down her ladylike appearance and relax.
There are also various vendors on the edge of the desert, and they are also very popular on weekdays.
Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan have grown up on the edge of the desert since they were young. They have seen and played a lot.
Zhu Lan took Qiu Ruoruo and Yu Lan to play, while Zhu Qing and Yu Zhi watched from the side.
"Master Yu, don't you want to go play?" Zhu Qing asked.
Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "I am a gentle and gentle person, not like that girl Lanlan who is so noisy."
Zhu Qing covered her mouth and smiled softly. I'm afraid you are the only one who can say that you are gentle.
Yu Zhi looked into the distance into the desert. The end of this desert was far away. Maybe the scene at the end should be the same as before.
"What kind of scenery is at the end of the vast desert is really curious." Yu Zhi sighed.
Zhu Qing also followed Yu Zhi's gaze.
"People who have lived here for generations have walked into the desert, but no one has ever walked out of the desert. The master said that there are countless dangers hidden in the desert. It is a forbidden zone for life. Let us not try to explore it."
Yu Zhi nodded seriously and said, "Mr. Mingjing is right. There are many secrets in this world. If you know them, you have to take responsibility."
Yu Zhi originally wanted to be a fool and live a happy life.
But he knew this was impossible.
From the moment he was born, he was destined to cause a storm in Dachu.
"Master Yu, the world is in chaos right now, what are your plans?" Zhu Qing asked.
Yu Zhi was stunned and turned to look at Zhu Qing. After arriving at Miaoyin Temple, Yu Zhi never mentioned this, fearing that the other party would think he had other agendas.
Now it was Zhu Qing who brought it up.
This is Miaoyin'an trying to win over me... Yu Zhi couldn't help but think to himself.
Zhu Qing smiled easily and said, "It's just a casual chat."
Yu Zhi shrugged and replied: "When the soldiers come, we will block the water and cover it with soil. If we can't stop it, there will be Uncle Li."
"But what about Night Ghost? Miaoyin Temple has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, and there are records in the temple. We know that we cannot escape this catastrophe." Zhu Qing said with a hint of sadness. "I, the Buddha, are compassionate. In this troubled world, I don't know how many more people will die."
Zhu Qing believed in Buddhism and had a compassionate heart since he was a child in Miaoyin Temple.
Yu Zhi sighed and said: "All you and I can do is to draw our swords to help when we see injustice. Those who can't be seen can't be saved. Even if there weren't such troubled times, there would be many people in the world who were frozen to death on the road, and the wine and meat of the rich families smelled bad. Things."
Yu Zhi thought of Guo Shuer. He didn't know where Guo Shuer was now and how he was doing.
But no matter what, she lost all her relatives and exchanged the woman's innocence for the chance of revenge.
Guo Shuer's fate is so tragic.
Yu Zhi solemnly said: "Miss Zhuqing, if Miaoyin Nunnery has the heart to save the world, I am willing to do my best. However, Miaoyin Nunnery alone cannot change the general trend of the world."
"If the entire West Desert State can..."
Yu Zhi said this and said no more.
"Zhu Qing understands." Zhu Qing's eyes lit up and he said.
What I am talking about today is also the sadness of all the masters in Miaoyin Temple.
Yu Zhi's idea was simple, but also the most effective.
At this time, a plume of smoke and dust flew in the distance, and countless horses neighed.
In the sand and dust, a group of people wearing helmets and armor came towards Yu Zhi and others.
Yu Zhi saw the person coming clearly, and the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.
"It's really troublesome."
