One hundred thousand mountains.
"How come there are so many murals here?"
Zi Yan walked in the underground passage, which should have been opened according to the original cave. Even so, it is still not something ordinary people can do.
On the stone walls on both sides, there are many murals carved with simple lines.
She browsed quickly while walking.
Most of these murals are pictures of fights between humans and animals. The overall style of the pictures is abstract.
At first these murals were normal, but later they became more bizarre and terrifying.
"Are these treating people as food or sacrifices?"
Zi Yan pointed at one of the murals.
In this mural, an old man holds a baby high. Next to it is a red-hot oil pan. Another place is a bronze tripod. There are many human body parts in the tripod, and there are several spouts on the side with blood. flow out.
Even after thousands of years have passed, the murals are still lifelike, with the colors only fading slightly and generally retaining their original appearance.
"However, this is a ritual of the Tiansheng Cult. If you see similar gestures, they are all rituals." Shui Liang announced the slogan and nodded.
"Tian Sheng Sect? This is the first time I heard this name."
Zi Yan said in surprise.
"That's natural. The Tiansheng Sect was the number one sect in the world in ancient times, but it was later destroyed and its name was deliberately hidden. Only a few people in later generations know about it."
Water Ion explained.
"I think the Holy Sect is very cruel today. It is natural for them to be destroyed. It's not unexpected." Zi Yan raised her eyebrows.
As time goes by, cruel sects either improve their doctrines and become less cruel, or they don't change anything and are eventually wiped out completely.
"The teachings of the Tiansheng Sect are that all things are born equal, and humans eat beasts, and beasts can also eat humans. It can also be said that humans are a type of beast, and all living beings rely on taking other living beings to extend their lifespan... This statement, It can’t be wrong.”
Water ions said.
"There is no absolute right or wrong in this world. We only look at the standpoint and classify humans as beasts. The standpoint we stand on is the standpoint of heaven. But as human beings, how can we not stand on the standpoint of humans? If we do not stand on the standpoint of humans, we are Traitor of humanity.”
"Another example is the war between the imperial court and the Bozhou Yang family. It also depends on the position. It just so happens that I stand on the imperial court's position."
Zi Yan has seen similar views before, and many people have been confused, but she has never been confused because she is very determined and has her own set of ideas.
"The Tiansheng Sect was called the Demon Sect in the ancient times. Later, many sects besieged the Tiansheng Sect. In the afterglow of the ancient times, they broke through the main altar and only a few remnants escaped." Shui Li said.
"Devil Cult?" Zi Yan opened her eyes.
Today's demon sect is generally called Zoroastrianism by people in the Central Plains, but the demon sect in ancient times was actually the Tiansheng sect.
"Yes, that's what people called him at that time." Shui Ion nodded.
"this is?"..
Zi Yan paused in front of a mural.
This mural depicts a very tall giant holding an ax in his hand and roaring toward the sky.
The giant's upper body was wearing armor, but the armor did not cover the whole body. It only protected key parts, while the lower body was wearing complete trousers.
"This is a mountain giant. The human race in ancient times was born to be so tall. This giant came from the far north. I don't know exactly where it is. Back then, I got a scroll from the Tiansheng Sect, which recorded Some things about the Heavenly Saint Sect, as well as an article on Qi training and breathing techniques."
Shui Ion said frankly.
"Do you know the Yaowang Sect? What was its status in ancient times?"
It was not easy for Zi Yan to meet someone who had a deep understanding of the ancient times, so she must ask carefully.
"The Medicine King Sect was quite famous in ancient times. It was probably one of the ten righteous sects, but it was not the strongest and ranked relatively low."
"The ten major sects of the righteous path? What are they?" Zi Yan asked.
"This is what is recorded in the scroll I got. There are names of the ten major sects. The specific ones will be revealed to you when Pindao shows them to you when you return."
Shui Ion did not say which sects there are specifically. In fact, there is no need to know too much at the moment.
"Speaking of Yaowang Sect, Pindao reminds me of an old incident."
"There is a strange object in the Medicine King Sect, called the Medicine King Cauldron. It is said to be an imitation of a divine weapon and has extremely miraculous effects. The Tiansheng Sect really wants to get the Medicine King Cauldron, mainly because the Tiansheng Sect's cultivation methods are harmful to the body. It’s very big, and a pill needs to be refined to make up for the shortcomings of the technique, but the reputation of the Tiansheng Sect is... too bad.”
"The Tiansheng Sect acted domineeringly and directly attacked the Yaowang Sect. However, in the end, the secret space of the Yaowang Sect was closed, the Yaowang Cauldron was completely missing, and the shortcomings of the Tiansheng Sect's skills were not made up for."
Water ions said.
Zi Yan's heart moved. This water ion knew so many ancient secrets, especially the affairs of the Tiansheng Sect. He knew too much. Did she really just pick up a scroll?
Is there something secretive here?
Mi Qi got the Medicine King Cauldron, and anyone who is interested can actually find out.
Especially if Shui Ion and others obtained the pills given by Mickey, she might be able to figure it out.
Then what she said today was intentional.
"Are you practicing the Tiansheng teaching's mental method?" Zi Yan asked.
"Yes, Pindao's technique is derived from the Qi Breathing Technique. Sects in ancient times all have their own unique breathing technique. The Tiansheng Sect's breathing technique is called Tiansheng Blood Qi Jue. The original purpose of this breath-taking technique is to mobilize and transport the blood and energy throughout the body. It can not only refine the body but also refine the energy. In ancient times, it was an extremely superior breath-taking technique."
Shui ion nodded and admitted.
"I see, that means that the Taoist Master has also inherited the shortcomings of the Tiansheng Sect's mental method?" Zi Yan said.
"It is indeed inherited, but the current world is very different from ancient times."
"In our current world, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is very thin, so the breathing technique needs some changes before it can be used."
"The flaw of the Heavenly Saint Blood Qi Jue is that it absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth too quickly, like countless knives cutting into the meridians, causing damage to the human body. If a breakthrough cannot be made in time, life span will be greatly reduced, but now This spiritual energy cannot be absorbed quickly, and the damage is actually very small."
Water ions said.
"But there is still some damage. If it can be eliminated, it would be the best." Zi Yan smiled slightly.
"I also hope to get rid of the poor people, but it's not easy." Shui Li said.
"It's not difficult, because the Medicine King Cauldron is in our hands."
Zi Yan said straightforwardly, she didn't want to beat around the bush, it would be very tiring, so she might as well say it directly.
