"This is the statue of the Goddess of the South China Sea."
Yuan Zhuo straightened his square face with a firm outline. After observing carefully for a long time, he said seriously.
Just now, Chu Liang and Wen Yulong were happily exploring Xuan Yinzi's secret realm, but they found that it was not even in tatters. When he finally opened the scroll, Chu Liang felt dizzy, and Wen Yulong fainted.
He quickly closed the scroll and woke up Wen Yulong.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened. He said that he just had a dream and saw his mother in the dream...
But he didn't recognize the woman in the painting, so he and Chu Liang came to the Dharma Protector Hall, hoping to find Yuan Zhuo to identify her.
When it comes to broad knowledge, no one in Shushan can match him. After all, he has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, and Senior Brother Yuan’s square head has all the world in it.
Yuan Zhuo recognized this woman at a glance. He studied it for a long time because the portrait was unusual.
"Where did you get this painting?" He asked: "The spirituality on it is extraordinary. It may have come from the Guixu Sect."
Chu Liang briefly talked about the origin of Xuanyinzi and wondered: "I know Guixu, what is this Guixu Divine Sect?"
According to legend, Shenxu is a treasure in the sky, while Guixu is a treasure under the sea.
They are all places of immortality that countless cultivators yearn for, but they also contain countless dangers. I don't know how many strong men have died forever under the vast ocean of the South China Sea because they coveted the treasures that returned to the ruins.
"This..." Yuan Zhuo hesitated and said, "We have to start with the Goddess of the South China Sea."
Chu Liang and Wen Yulong knew nothing about this, so they naturally sat down obediently. Sitting next to the thick pile of books, listening to Senior Brother Yuan tell the story of the past.
"The legendary Goddess of the South China Sea is a ninth-level master of mysticism from the distant ancient times. Some say she is from the human race, others say she is a siren, and some say she is a god descended from heaven. It has been said for a long time It’s no longer possible to test. We can’t even be sure whether she really existed.”
"There are also ancient books that record that the world once faced a great disaster. The heaven and earth were turbulent, mountains collapsed, floods spread, and fire fell from the sky..."
"And the Goddess of the South China Sea used her great magic to swallow the sky with the sea. She absorbed the entire world into the sea and protected the creatures in it, thus escaping the disaster."
"The land creatures that were in the sea at that time created a place for survival, which is where Guixu is now."
As Yuan Zhuo spoke, the two of them listened, but they didn't believe everything.
These ancient legends have always been mysterious, not to mention that they are related to religion. They can be exaggerated no matter how exaggerated they are.
"The record of what happened later is unknown, but if she really existed, she should have been before the Dragon God. Because the Dragon Clan also left legends, saying that humans are a weak race that came out of the sea. Combined with the historical legends of the Human Clan, it may be When the human race returned to the ruins to survive under the sea, the dragon race became the masters of the world during this period."
"But since the Dragon God and other gods can appear later, it means that even if the Nanhai Goddess existed, she must have fallen." Yuan Zhuo continued: "But some people don't believe this."
"They are believers of the Guixu Cult, claiming to be the children of the Goddess of the South China Sea. They firmly believe that the Goddess will return one day, and they will protect the treasures of Guixu for the Goddess."
"These people will mercilessly kill practitioners who want to enter the ruins to search for treasures. They even massacred an island country that offended the Goddess of the South China Sea."
"This style of behavior has caused dissatisfaction among the immortal sects. They have launched many encirclement and suppression campaigns, but their whereabouts have only become more and more hidden, and they have never been able to clear them out."
"And all the dynasties in the past have classified the Guixu Sect as a cult and strictly prohibited them from preaching in all the nine states."
"Because in the sporadic records in ancient books, the Nanhai Goddess highly praised blood sacrifices when she was there. The subsequent Guixu Cult also continued this tradition and would often sacrifice blood to living beings. This is why they were suppressed. The biggest reason.”
Finally, Yuan Zhuo muttered: "Furthermore, if the Goddess of the South China Sea really exists, then the Guixu Divine Sect has its rationality. On the contrary, the people who go to Guixu to hunt for treasures are greedy. So even for those Treasure, all the immortal sects also want to deny the existence of the Goddess of the South China Sea. So over the years, fewer and fewer people know about her."
Chu Liang listened thoughtfully.
He thinks there may be more than these two reasons.
As he learned more and more, he felt as if there was a force between heaven and earth that was deliberately erasing all traces of the Ninth Realm, not wanting these influences to exist.
Except for the human race's Li Sheng and Yang Sheng, as well as the recent demon gods, the rest of the ninth realm seemed to be legendary figures from ancient times, extremely ethereal.
If it is because of age...
You must know that Li Sheng of the human race was the first Nine Realms Master in this world. It was he who broke through the shackles of the human world and opened the way for those who came after him.
However, all the deeds of this oldest being are widely circulated, while the figures after him have become vague legends.
Chu Liang always felt that there was a trace of deliberate erasure.
Who has such powerful power to perform such operations, and for what purpose?
…
Blood and fire, wails and roars, the starry sky hangs high, and the scene in the distance is like hell.
This is Mangshan, located on the southern border of the Yu Dynasty, a barren but prosperous land.
When the demon gods came, the northwest land was the first to fall, which was once under the rule of ten thousand demons. Later, the demon clan was defeated and retreated to the far west. Many humans with the blood of the demon clan were left behind in the original Xizhou.
These people have half-demon blood, and they are like explosives that will explode at an unknown time, making people in other places reluctant to contact them. If they were left alone, it would be equivalent to pushing them into the demon clan.
So the human dynasty at that time carried out a large-scale migration plan and moved a large number of Xizhou people to the Southern Region. Although they just moved from one border to another, only after leaving the old place of survival can there be new hope. .
Of course, a considerable part of the reason is that they are afraid that they will contact the demon clan in the far west again.
At that time, the entire Xizhou was almost hollowed out. After a large number of people came to the Southern Territory, many of them had difficulty adapting to the life here and died in the South. The remaining people, after thousands of years of reproduction, also made this place the most chaotic area in the Yu Dynasty.
Dynasties in the past have thought of various ways to govern this place, but the Southern Territory is no better than the Western Continent. The mountains here are majestic and there are many mountains. Once something is committed, it is extremely difficult to hunt down the mountains.
After many years of governance, a large number of heroes have been sorted out in these mountains. They are inextricably linked to the people outside, and they are always killing them. On the contrary, they are getting more and more prosperous.
Because of the harsh and tough methods of the imperial court, the relationship between the common people and the heroes in Mang Mountain was actually better than that of the government.
But no matter what, there are still more good people.
However, in recent years, Mangshan has experienced frequent earthquakes and widespread insect pests, leaving the people with almost no income. There were successive floods and heavy snowfalls, causing large numbers of refugees to drown or freeze to death.
It can be said that there are constant natural disasters.
The people in Mangshan came out to kill and looted the various state capitals, and then distributed the looted items to the surrounding refugees.
After frequent incidents, the troops suppressed by the imperial court finally arrived here.
In the darkness of night, the beasts riding in the sky were like black clouds covering the moon, and their dark momentum was intimidating. On the ground, there were countless military armors arranged in large formations, surrounding the entire mountain forest.
The power is like a majestic mountain.
On the top of the mountain opposite, stood a young man in tattered clothes. He was skinny but full of confidence. "Dog officers and soldiers, if you have the guts, come into the mountain!"
The soldiers on the opposite side shouted in unison: "Surrender without killing! Surrender without killing!"
"Surrender, grandma!" the young man shouted: "No matter what, we can't survive. Grandpas would rather die standing!"
boom--
Following his shout, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, and a giant beast like a small mountain came from the depths of Mang Mountain.
There was silence for a moment, and a big flag fell from the army on the opposite side.
Then the whole army roared: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
…
In another mountain forest not far away, two figures stood here quietly, looking at the blood and fire on the opposite side.
The beautiful woman wearing a big cloak seemed to be unable to bear it and frowned slightly.
But the arrogant-looking young man next to him smiled cruelly, "It's great. It's so satisfying to see these human races killing each other. I only wish I couldn't do it myself."
He has long, disheveled hair and three purple scaly stripes on the left side of his face.
The woman glanced at him with disgust on her face.
"Don't keep that expression, Caiyi." The man smiled and said, "You have done more credit than me for today's situation. I was reluctant to help those people at first, but I agreed."
"As long as I can find the demon god, I can do anything." Caiyi said.
"Is it to get back the demon god, or to get back your human lover?" the man said with a wicked smile.
"Changfeng." Caiyi's voice suddenly turned cold. She looked into the eyes of the person opposite and said word by word: "Don't force me to kill you."
Good morning.
The hotel booked by Yuewen actually didn’t have a desk. I asked the hotel staff if I could change to a room with a desk, but it turned out that there was no room with a desk in the entire hotel...
In the end, I dragged a set of tables and chairs from someone else's conference room and was able to make do with writing the update, but it was too difficult.
