Cheng Ling and Ye Zhining looked inside the stone door. It was pitch black inside and they couldn't see anything at all. Ye Zhining took a step forward and said, "Junior Brother Cheng, follow me!"
Obviously she thought that Cheng Ling's cultivation level was low and she should enter first so that she could respond in time if something unexpected happened.
Cheng Ling was so happy that he didn't need to take the risk.
The two of them entered the stone door one by one. After walking for a while, they heard a loud "click" sound coming from the stone door behind them, and it closed automatically in an instant. By the time Cheng Ling reacted, it was too late to stop him.
Ye Zhining's expression changed and she asked: "Why did the stone door close automatically? Is there anyone else inside?"
Cheng Ling spread his consciousness to the maximum limit and found nothing unusual, so he said: "No, I think there should be a trigger mechanism here, which will automatically close as soon as we enter."
"But how do we leave?"
Cheng Linggong focused his eyes and carefully looked at the situation behind the stone door. He found no clues and said helplessly: "I don't know, maybe there is another exit in the tomb. Anyway, we have already come in. Just take one step at a time!"
Ye Zhining had no choice but to follow his words and continue walking deeper into the tomb.
After a long time, the two gradually adapted to the darkness in the tomb, and they could already see vaguely wherever they looked. Ahead is a large space, very empty, with only twelve stone pillars standing on both sides, six on each side, supporting the entire hall.
There are wooden objects placed on the ground at intervals between the stone pillars. Cheng Ling came to one of the piles, knelt down and watched carefully. After a moment, he said: "Senior Sister Ye, these are rotten seats. It seems that this hall has been in existence for a long time."
Ye Zhining scanned it with her consciousness, nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. Except for the twelve stone pillars, everything else in the hall has rotted. No one has come here for at least thousands of years."
"Let's look forward!" Cheng Ling said.
Ye Zhining nodded and continued walking forward. When she came to the last two stone pillars, the scene in front of her became clearer. It was a screen wall, and the top of the screen wall was uneven as if there were some words carved on it.
Ye Zhining jumped up, leaped into the air, and quickly fell to the ground again, but there was something strange about her face.
Cheng Ling hurriedly asked: "Senior Sister Ye, what did you see?"
Ye Zhining said: "I saw a few words on the top of the screen wall. I didn't expect that this is the ruins of a five-star sect. Junior Brother Cheng, our gains will be great this time!"
"What exactly is a five-star sect?"
"The three big characters at the top say 'Thousand Machines Sect!' There are two fonts on the left and right sides, which read: Three Thousand Avenues and Three Thousand Leaves, Eternal Legend!"
"Thousand Machine Sect? What kind of sect is that?"
Ye Zhining said: "I have only seen it in the sect's classics. There are four major star fields in the star realm, namely Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. The Lingweixing we are in is in the Xuanwu star field, and in Xuanwu star In this domain, there are two major five-star sects, which have been famous for millions of years and have the most abundant inheritance."
"Oh, which two are they?"
"The first one is Xuanmen who is on Tianji Star. The senior you saw trapped in the ice prison is a disciple of Xuanmen."
Cheng Ling suddenly realized, no wonder Ye Yiqin deliberately plotted against Wu Qingyang. It turned out that Xuanmen's inheritance was the best in the Xuanwu Star Territory.
"The second one is the Thousand Machine Sect in front of us! The inheritance of these two sects is rich and colorful. The couplet on the wall is the best portrayal of it. Three thousand avenues and three thousand leaves. The three thousand avenues here do not refer to specific numbers. , but represents the evolution of the way of heaven. No matter which way it is, all paths lead to the same destination. If you practice to the highest level, you can also ascend to the immortal world."
"Three thousand leaves is a commonly used stanza in Buddhism, and it also refers to the many avenues. The latter sentence means that the inheritance of Qianji Sect will last forever and last for eternity. Unfortunately, this is just A kind of fantasy, according to the records in the classics, millions of years ago, the Qianji Sect did not know what happened and disappeared without a trace in the star world."
"I didn't expect that the ancient tombs we found now are the remains of the Qianji Sect."
Cheng Ling asked: "According to what you said, the Thousand Machine Sect's inheritance is also very rich, including all kinds of Taoism?"
"Yes, the disciples of the Qianji Sect in its heyday were like crucian carp crossing the river, and each disciple had a special method, such as the alchemy weapon array, Yin and Yang Bagua, medical horoscopes, and even the swordsmanship that was regarded as taboo in the star world. There are still disciples looking for you!"
Cheng Ling was moved in her heart and asked: "You even have swordsmanship, so why is it considered taboo in the star world?"
"I don't know about this. Many records of things that happened millions of years ago have been lost. We don't know why the Star Realm left the Immortal Realm, nor why the swordsmanship that was so prosperous for a while declined, or even why the Thousand Machines Sect in front of us was buried. It’s unknown even in the tomb.”
Cheng Ling was silent, once again seeing clues to the way of swordsmanship, he felt excited beyond words. But similarly, no matter whether it is the Xuanmen that is still prosperous or the Qianji Sect that has been buried here for a long time, every bit of the swordsmanship has disappeared.
I really don’t know what happened in the past million years. Is it because of the suppression of the Fawu Alliance as mentioned by Mr. Yuan Ling? Or is there another reason? There are no answers to these!
After a long silence, he said: "Senior Sister Ye, according to your inference, this is the sect site of Qianji Sect. Should we be able to get their inheritance?"
"Yes, the Thousand Machines Sect's inheritance is very precious. The Five-Star Sect is already the top sect in the Xuanwu Star Territory, and there is no inheritance more high-end than itss."
"But I heard that there are more powerful star sects above the five-star sects, and even nine-star sects. How can I explain this?"
"I don't know that there is no record of this in the classics. After the Star Realm separated from the Immortal Realm, the divisions in many realms were different from before. Perhaps only experts like the Star Master and the Holy Master of the Five Spirits Sect know the reason."
"Oh!" Cheng Lington was still filled with emotion, but what Ye Zhining knew was all from the Yunlan Sect's classics, and it was impossible to know what was not recorded in them. I secretly decided in my heart that when I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to the Holy Lord Peak and read through the books in the library, maybe I can find some clues.
Ye Zhining said: "Well, there is no point in pursuing history. Junior Brother Cheng, this hall is empty and there are no valuable treasures. Why not see if you can leave and look for other treasure hiding places."
Cheng Ling secretly thought to herself that Ye Zhining was beautiful, but her mind was extremely delicate and her character was very tenacious, and she would not give up any possibility of increasing her strength. Thinking of Ye Zhimeng in the Yunlan Sect, the two sisters were very similar in nature. It would be very difficult for the latter to take the former's place.
However, he very much agreed with her proposal. Qianji Sect was famous for a while, but this bare hall was obviously not a hidden treasure. It was better to find something to do.
Let’s explore. What if you find some rare treasure, or find a treasure of heaven and earth that can heal Yang Hongqiu?
At that moment, he searched the hall carefully, hoping to find some clues.
But after searching for a whole day, except for twelve towering stone pillars, there were only bare walls. Those walls were still very thick, and they didn’t know what kind of materials they were made of. They tried to break through them and rushed out. They released several spells but failed, and there was no damage at all.
This time, the two of them were completely blind. Ye Zhining sighed dejectedly: "This hall is so weird. Except for the inscriptions on the wall, there is nothing out of the ordinary. We won't be trapped here forever, right?"
The plots are always very similar, just like a flash of inspiration in Conan's mind in the detective drama. Cheng Ling's eyes also lit up. He looked at the carvings on the wall. Could there be any clues in them?
He slowly came to the edge of the screen wall and looked up at the big characters on it. The two couplets looked normal, but the three big characters at the top were too far away to see, so he could only see three blurry ones. image.
He knocked lightly on the screen wall and made an "empty" sound. Then he moved his body to the wall outside the edge of the screen wall and knocked again!
"Painful!"
Um? There seems to be something wrong with the sound. The sound coming from here is duller, which means that the wall at the edge of the screen wall is thicker. Is this screen wall hollow?
With a thought, he turned back to directly under the screen wall. Stretching out his hands, he stepped onto the screen wall with both feet. He pressed tightly against it, relying on the strength of his feet to climb up little by little!
This situation is really miserable. But who made the heavenly world in the star world so different that he couldn't fly until he reached the heavenly realm. He could only jump up little by little like a gecko, with his limbs close together and his butt raised high.
Ye Zhining hesitated for a moment and said, "Junior Brother Cheng, your posture is too..., could there be some mystery on this screen wall?"
Cheng Ling pressed against the wall and said in a loud voice: "I'm not sure, but based on the sound I just sensed, there seems to be something different at the wall. Let me go up and take a closer look."
Ye Zhining shut up immediately. She was proficient in formations, so she had better not give random orders.
Cheng Ling walked up the road, and it took him a quarter of an hour to reach the three characters. In front of you is the center of the screen wall, with the word "ji" on your head. He stretched out his right hand and stroked the raised text above for a while, but found no difference.
He moved his body to the word "Qian" on the left side and stroked it again. It felt slightly different and seemed to be a little thicker. He did not judge easily, but continued to reach the last word "Zong" and stroked it for a while, which was as thick as the word "ji".
It was only at this moment that he finally determined that there must be a mystery behind the word "thousand". I returned to the position of the word "thousand" with great effort, and searched for the raised words bit by bit. Fortunately, there were very few strokes in the word "Qian", so the search was quickly completed, but nothing was found.
He refused to give up, and suddenly remembered that many mechanisms would only appear strange if they were pressed from the outside in. Immediately he crawled up a distance again, his whole body hanging above the word "thousand", his right arm's immortal power was running, and he pressed hard towards the center of the cross.
"Boom~!" "Boom!"
A violent sound came, and with great force, the entire screen wall began to move slowly, and finally it moved around a 90-degree right angle, and the mechanism was opened!
