The stone slabs on the ground and the grass blades on both sides were cracking and withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Halfway through, Tong Luo turned around. Only the ruins of the originally majestic and majestic hall were left. The smart stone sculptures that originally decorated the surroundings had fallen down one by one. They were dusty and seemed to have been weathered. A long, long time.
When he came back to his senses, he found that Wen Guying had already walked some distance away. Li Chuan stopped and waved to him, saying, "Tong Luo, follow quickly."
Tong Luo sped up and caught up.
At this time, Wen Guying began to talk about the history of Guyue Sect. He said: "In Guyue Sect, it seems that more than two thousand years ago, there were monks who ascended to the upper world."
"What happened next?" Li Chuan asked. Walking all the way from the mountain gate, you can indeed see the prosperity of Guyue Gate.
Wen Guying said: "After a monk ascends to the upper world and becomes an immortal, he can still go down to the lower world to guard the sect, but in fact, it will take time for him to adapt to the upper world, and it is almost impossible for him to return to the human world in a short period of time. Therefore, for As far as the sect is concerned, the sect’s strength has been declining for a period of time.”
"At that time, the Guyue Sect had a sworn enemy, a rogue cultivator. It is said that he had been robbed of an opportunity by the one who ascended two thousand years ago. Moreover, he was about to die and had no chance of being on the great road, so he began to concentrate on revenge on the Guyue Sect."
"Isn't this bullying the weak and afraid of the strong? Why don't you take revenge when the person is here?" Li Chuan said.
"But if he wants to take revenge, there is no way. Because he only went to steal the opportunity of the disciples of Gu Yuemen, and did not come to kill them." Wen Guying said.
"Villain!" Gong Er said.
"That's right!" Tong Luo agreed.
Wen Guying said: "And it seems that there was some internal fighting within the Guyue Sect at that time."
"In terms of resources for cultivating immortals, to put it bluntly, there are only two sources. One is cultivating spiritual plants and spiritual beasts, maintaining secret realms, etc.; the other is to explore various forbidden places and unowned secret realms. There is that enemy here, the Guyue Sect. Disciple, every time you go out, you will be robbed."
Wen Guying continued, "There are already many dangers in the forbidden secret realm. As a result, although the enemy did not attack directly, more and more disciples were lost, and even many elders died inside."
"After that, the remaining disciples could only stay in the sect and dare not go out. However, relying solely on the resources within the sect was not enough. So many disciples chose to leave the Guyue Sect."
At this point, Wen Guying stopped. He pointed ahead and said, "Ahead is the Guyue Gate Control Area."
Li Chuan looked ahead and saw only a forest of strange rocks with countless bones scattered among them.
Wen Guying said: "Guyuemen is good at raising spirit beasts. Many rare spirit beasts were raised here in the past. It is the most important place of Guyuemen. These white bones are probably the corpses of spirit beasts."
Li Chuan saw several relatively complete skeletons, which indeed looked like some kind of beast.
"Are we going in?" Li Chuan asked.
"Wait a while." Wen Guying said.
The strange rocks are also decaying and peeling off rapidly.
Suddenly, Li Chuan felt something vibrating in his sleeves. He took out the Mingxian Pendant, which was dazzling with red light.
"There are monsters!" Tong Luo said.
Wen Guying glanced at the Mingxian Pendant in Li Chuan's hand, reached out and took it, and then the Mingxian Pendant became quiet.
He also said to Li Chuan: "The sect's magic circle stopped operating, and it detected the monster. I will temporarily seal it first, and then unblock it after I leave this place."
Li Chuan nodded and said, "Okay."
Gong Er was still thinking about the Guyue Sect. He asked, "What happened to the Guyue Sect?"
Wen Guying replied: "Later, he began to recruit some outer disciples. The leader worked hard to support the remaining twenty or thirty disciples, preaching everywhere in exchange for resources. When he came to the Four Gods Palace to preach, I Recognized by him."
Wen Guying recalled the past, with a bit of sadness on his face. He said: "At that time, he also begged the old palace master to tell him that there were still some good young people in the Guyue Gate, and he wanted them to worship in the Four Gods Palace. I don’t want to delay them.”
"Has the old palace master agreed?" Gong Er asked.
Wen Guying said: "No, I just gave him a lot more resources. And I agreed that when we explore the secret realm of the forbidden land together, the disciples of the Guyue Sect can follow the Four Gods Palace."
There were some noises in the strange stone forest.
Wen Guying continued: "After nearly a hundred years of hard support, the Shuangye Sect incident happened. After that, no one knows what else happened after that."
Li Chuan felt a little emotional after hearing this. Along the way, the Guyue Gate looked like it was not as grand as the Four Gods Palace, but it could still see some of its former glory.
A sect that could cultivate immortals had almost nothing left now.
"That's almost it, let's go." Wen Guying said. After speaking, he strode forward.
When Li Chuan walked into the strange stone forest, he felt his feet go soft, as if he had stepped on something.
He raised his feet to look, and saw a shiny black thing darting out. Wen Guying stretched out his hand and caught it. .
Li Chuan stepped forward and finally saw its appearance clearly. A pointed mouth and rolling eyes.
Wen Guying said: "This is a rat beast, a spiritual beast. It can survive to this day... It should be sent here to find out the news."
He picked up the rat beast and said, "Who sent you here?"
The rat beast looked left and right, but said nothing.
Wen Guying's face turned cold, his hands tightened, and then he heard the Rat Beast say: "I said, I said!"
After Wen Guying let go of his hand, it said again: "Are you monks from the Four Gods Palace? Are you here to save the leader?"
After Wen Guying heard what it said, he asked: "Master? Which master?"
"Master Xu, Xu Hong, do you recognize him?"
"Where is he?" Wen Guying asked.
"I'll take you there!" Ratmon said.
It jumped to the ground, jumped forward, and then felt it was caught again. After taking a closer look, it still responded.
Wen Guying said: "Are you the spiritual beast raised by Guyuemen?"
The rodent nodded quickly, even after the image was pointed out, it said: "Yes, yes."
"You've been here... for over a hundred years?" Wen Guying judged his cultivation level.
Ratmon continued to nod, "Yes, that's right."
"Tell me, what exactly happened here?" Wen Guying continued to ask.
The rat beast's eyes began to wander again, and then it said: "The leader's condition is very bad, let's get there quickly."
"Did Master Xu send you here?" Wen Guying asked again.
"Yes, yes, let's go quickly!" Rat Beast said again.
"It seems that we can only resort to resorting to resorting to means." After Wen Guying said this, he began to mutter something. The rat beast hurriedly begged for mercy and said: "Exalt, please forgive me, I say, I will say anything!"
This time, without waiting for Wen Guying to ask again, it said it all at once: "I am indeed a spirit beast raised by Guyue Sect. It turns out that there are many spirit beasts here, but..."
"But there were fewer and fewer disciples within the sect, and later they were replaced by outer sect disciples. They didn't know how to take care of the spirit beasts, which caused the spirit beasts to die one by one. They took out the spirit beast corpses and sold them, and later directly stole the spirit beasts. Go sell..."
