After pondering in silence for a moment, he said, "I am very curious. Is that spirit-gathering stone really as magical as the senior said?"
Ren Pingsheng looked slightly solemn, looked at the nine-leaf flower petals and the spirit-gathering stone in his hand, nodded and said: "This nine-leaf flower is an ancient exotic tree. Although the fruit it produces is called a stone, it is not a real stone. It is A magical existence between a fruit and a crystal, it does contain indescribable miraculous creation. It’s just that this nine-leaf flower needs to be in a place with extremely thick earth veins to become a tree, and then absorb the yin and yang energy of the sun and the moon to become a tree. To eat, you have to go through three tribulations of thunder and fire. Only after a hundred years can you achieve the perfect result and produce a spirit-gathering stone. So not many people in the world know about it."
"Earthly Meridian Spiritual Accumulation?" Hearing this silently, he suddenly realized: "No wonder when I first entered this place, I felt an unprecedented aura of heaven and earth. Could it be the Earthly Meridian Spiritual Accumulation?"
Ren Pingsheng's eyes stopped on Shen Mo's face, as if he was pondering, and after a long time he nodded and said: "Yes, what you feel is exactly the so-called earth vein energy in Feng Shui. I can tell you without exaggeration, what is contained in this place is the place where all the earth's spiritual essences gather in the entire northern part of the Central Plains. Some people call it the "Pillar of the Earth". People who are not involved in Feng Shui may not have much impression, but those who are deeply knowledgeable in Feng Shui can understand its importance. "
Silence listened with half-belief, and said: "Although I know that there is Feng Shui in the world, I don't know much about it. Is the earth vein spirit Yun mentioned by the senior the dragon vein that ordinary people are familiar with?"
Ren Pingsheng said: "Earth veins and dragon veins, although there are some differences between the two, they can generally be understood in this way."
Looking around silently, this place was different from other places. Now that he listened to Ren Shengsheng's explanation in such a serious manner, he felt even more that this place was not simple. After looking at it for a moment, he said silently: "So, isn't this place a geomantic treasure?"
Ren Pingsheng said solemnly: "The mystery of this place is beyond description and comparison with ordinary Feng Shui treasure places. The earth is the foundation of the human world. Legend has it that it was the body of the creator god Pangu. The meridians of the human body have a one-to-one correspondence in the earth. Because of the existence of earth meridians, it is called earth meridians. If the meridians are connected, there will be no pain, and if the pulse is painful, there will be no pain. Just like blocked meridians in the human body will cause disease, if the earth meridians are blocked, it will also cause changes in the earth. And this world is the entire Central Plains The place where the basic luck of the north gathers. Generally speaking, if everything is normal here, then the entire north will have good weather and no natural disasters. Otherwise, there will be bad years, hunger, and uneven droughts and floods."
He was silent for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel absurd. Since he became a disciple of Guiyin Yuanwu Sect, he has traveled around the world for many years and has gained extensive knowledge and knowledge, but he knows nothing about the so-called Feng Shui academic method. At this moment, Ren Shengsheng suddenly mentioned the Feng Shui of this place. Shen Sheng felt that his mind was suddenly filled with fog. He could understand it, but he could not understand it.
Shen Mo didn't want to delve into matters that he didn't care about, so he changed the subject and said, "If what the senior said is true, it's no wonder that the Nine-leaf Flower blooms here. It's just that although I have some knowledge, I have never heard of it. It is really unbelievable to have such a miraculous existence as the Nine-leaf Flower." Ren Pingsheng said indifferently: "The heaven and earth are so big, there are all kinds of wonders, and the universe is even more inclusive of everything. Although the Spirit Gathering Stone is the most precious treasure in the world, if it is compared to the countless things in the universe, Compared with the existence of incomprehensibility, it is nothing surprising." Although he said these words casually, there was an extremely mysterious and wonderful truth hidden in them. After hearing the words in silence, a flash of inspiration seemed to flash through his mind. That aura seemed to be a thought, but also seemed to be some kind of existence. At this moment, he seemed to have touched something. But what exactly it was, Silence had no time to recall, and the aura had disappeared.
Silence suddenly sighed softly and said: "The words of the seniors are mysterious and contain secrets. I am stupid but I can't understand them."
Ren Pingsheng also sighed: "The universe and the world are full of countless mysteries. Even the wisest person in the world can't solve one of them even if he spends his life. I only have a little understanding." After saying that, he looked up. God, his expression was in a trance and it was hard to describe.
There was an inexplicable trance in silence for a moment, and then he got back to the topic and said, "I dare to ask, senior, now that you have obtained the Spirit Gathering Stone, but you don't know what you are going to do next?"
Ren Pingsheng came back to his senses and said: "I have obtained the Spirit Gathering Stone, so what I have to do next is naturally
A very important event. He looked at the cold moon in the sky again and continued: "But the time is not yet ripe to do this, so you have to stay here for two more days. In two days, the full moon is approaching. If things go well then, you can You can leave now."
Shen Mo frowned slightly. He didn't expect to have to wait here for two more days, and Ren Pingsheng didn't seem to be in a hurry to tell him what he wanted to do. But then I thought about it, now that the Zhenbian Mansion has intervened in the overthrow of Macan, Tian Wangye and others should be out of danger now. As for the destruction of Sunset Racecourse, Tian Wangye should have been able to guess the general situation by now based on his experience in the martial arts world, and will definitely investigate. As for the Demon Sect, it doesn’t take much thinking to figure out that it’s not something that can be solved in a short time. It’s better to remain unchanged in response to the ever-changing situation. In this way, Shen Shen had nothing else to do urgently at the moment, so it didn't matter if he stayed and waited for two more days.
After thinking about it, Shen Mo immediately made a decision and nodded: "In that case, it doesn't hurt to wait for two more days."
Ren Pingsheng nodded, "That's very good." He looked at the golden-winged roc not far away, sighed slightly, and said: "For decades, you have helped me protect the Nine-leaf Flower from being invaded. You have indeed kept your promise. , you, a beast of ancient blood, have such faith, I am afraid that many people in the world are not as good as you. Now that the flowers are blooming and bearing fruit, I will fulfill my promise."
The golden-winged roc carries the bloodline of ancient strange beasts, and has spent many years in this place where the earth's veins gather. It has absorbed the nourishment of the heaven and earth's spiritual essence, and has long had the enlightenment of psychics. At this time, he seems to be able to understand people's words, his wings can't help fluttering, he raises his head and chirps, as if he is surprised.
Ren Pingsheng smiled, waved to the roc, and said, "Come."
The golden-winged roc spread its wings, blowing a strong wind, fluttering in front of Ren Pingsheng, and then squatted down very docilely.
Ren Pingsheng stretched out his hand and stroked the wings of Dapeng, with a gentle look in his eyes, and said: "In the past hundred years, in order to protect the Nine-leaf Flower, you have fought countless bloody battles with Zhu Yan, narrowly escaped death, and twice protected the Nine-leaf Flower from the thunder and fire sky. Even though the power of heaven is so great, it has allowed you to be reborn after the calamity. Now I will help you again to achieve your chance of nirvana."
The two vertical pupils of the golden-winged roc immediately burst out with blazing energy.
Sitting aside in silence, after hearing this, he realized that even though Zhu Yan was extremely fierce, with the Golden-winged Dapeng and Ren Pingsheng here, it was no wonder that it had no chance to capture this ancient and rare flower.
Ren Pingsheng slowly stretched out his hand, took off a nine-leaf petal, and handed it to the roc with a calm look.
Although the palm-sized nine-leaf petals have been separated from the tree body, the spiritual energy has not diminished at all. Within the crystal clear petals, the lines that are like the meridians of the human body seem to be flowing with blood, exuding a strong sense of freshness. Holy spirit.
The golden-winged roc looked at the petals, his vertical pupils flashing with light, and his expression seemed extremely excited. It leaned down, opened its huge beak, and slowly swallowed the petal.
Seeing this, Ren Pingsheng seemed to have fulfilled a long-cherished wish, and finally smiled knowingly. Then he said in a deep voice: "From today on, you and I will owe nothing to each other. With the help of this flower, you will be able to be reborn, but whether you can realize the secret of heaven will depend on your luck."
The roc bird swallowed the nine-leaf petals, raised its head and roared when it heard the words, and the mountains immediately echoed the sound, which was extraordinary.
Silence watched on the side and was shocked. The Dapeng bird had been guarding the nine-leaf flower for nearly a hundred years. It had gone through countless life-and-death battles with Zhu Yan, and had suffered several thunder and fire disasters, just to get a petal. The thrills and wonders among them are truly unbelievable.
But after the golden-winged roc swallowed the nine-leaf petals, it didn't seem to change significantly. It looked silent and suspicious, wondering whether the petals really had such miraculous powers.
The golden-winged roc got what it wanted, and the look in its vertical pupils became clearer and more intense. It leaned down, and a giant ball kept rubbing on Ren Shengsheng, as if it was extremely grateful to him.
Ren Pingsheng stroked its head and smiled slightly: "Okay, you don't have to do this, it's really numb. Now that you have swallowed the nine-leaf petals, you need to merge with the spirit. After you send us back to the old place, Just go there yourself, no need to waste time here."
After Ren Pingsheng finished speaking, his figure floated up and landed gently on Dapeng's back. Then he waved to Shen Mo and said with a smile: "Come up, kid, let him give us a ride." The golden-winged Dapeng spread its wings. Let out a meek growl.
After being silent for a moment, Ren Pingsheng unexpectedly made such an action. He frowned and asked, "Senior, don't we need to go down the mountain the way we came?"
Ren Pingsheng smiled and said: "You don't have to use the ready-made mounts, do you still want to waste your energy on climbing mountains and ridges?"
Silence burst into laughter, knowing that the place where Ren wanted to go in his life was definitely not close, and seeing that the roc was so huge, it shouldn't be a big problem to carry two people on his back. But he had never had the experience of being carried by such a strange beast, and it was inevitable that he was a little bit novel in his heart, so he stopped talking, jumped up, and landed gently on the back of Dapeng, standing side by side with Ren Shengsheng.
Ren Pingsheng lowered his head and said to Dapeng: "Old man, let's go." After receiving the order, the Dapeng bird immediately made a low cry, stepped on the ground with both feet, and dug up the earth and rocks with its huge claws. Its wings flapped and stretched, and then a strong wind swept the ground. As soon as he got up, this ancient beast roared into the sky carrying the two of them and flew straight into the night sky.
The roc's wings fluttered, and its body rose almost vertically into the sky. Silent ears heard the sound of the wind like thunder. He suddenly lost his center of gravity and his body fell straight down. He was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly reached out to grab the roc's neck. , just then he stabilized his body. Then he looked down and saw that the mountain peak at his feet was shrinking rapidly. In just a few breaths, it had risen to a height of dozens of hundreds of feet. Even though Shen Mo had extraordinary cultivation, he had never experienced anything like this before. He was both excited and worried at the same time. He thought that if he accidentally fell down, no matter how high his martial arts skills were, he would be shattered to pieces. He breathed out secretly and turned to look at Ren Pingsheng, only to find that his face was as calm as ever, his hands were hanging casually, but his toes were pressed against the back of the roc, as firmly as if they were growing on the back of the bird. Although the Dapeng rose quickly, Ren Pingsheng always maintained this posture without any shaking in his body.
Seeing this, Shen Mo was secretly shocked. Ren's cultivation had really reached the point where he could transform into Hong Yu and become a god.
Suddenly, the roc bird stopped rising, its huge wings flapped, and its body suddenly fell in the air and then returned to stability. The arc of the ups and downs was too large this time, and in the reverberation of the air, Shen Shen was suddenly caught off guard, staggering, his feet slipped on the back of the bird, and he was almost unsteady. Shen Shen danced around, his posture was quite embarrassing for a moment. At this moment, a hand suddenly pressed gently on Shen Mo's shoulder, and then a strong force surged from the hand, instantly stabilizing Shen Mo's swaying figure.
Shen Mo used that strong force to stabilize his body, and at the same time, his energy sank from his Dantian. He secretly used the Thousand Jin Drop technique to place his feet firmly on the back of the bird, and then looked sideways, meeting Ren Pingsheng's gentle gaze. , the latter smiled. Silence couldn't help but blush, and when he was about to speak, he felt the wind whistling in his ears so fast that he couldn't speak. The whole body was hit by the cold wind, and his hair and beard were fluttering, and he felt chilled throughout his body.
But Ren Pingsheng took back his hand and smiled. He was standing on the back of Dapeng, thousands of feet high in the sky, and his expression was still calm and calm. He calmly raised the gourd and took a sip of wine, then said, "Boy, how do you feel?"
Just when Ren Pingsheng opened his mouth, a majestic energy suddenly surged out of his body again. As the energy circulated, an invisible air barrier seemed to be formed, wrapping the two of them. In an instant, the two of them seemed to be in a quiet space. Outside the barrier formed by the air machine, the cold wind was still strong, but it could not penetrate at all. While silent and surprised, they once again admired Ren Shengsheng's cultivation. At the same time, I also clearly heard Ren Pingsheng’s words.
After hearing this, he took a long breath and sighed sincerely: "I will never forget what I experienced at this moment in my life." He looked sideways at Ren Pingsheng and said sincerely: "Thank you for your help, senior, otherwise I would have been in danger of my life. "
Ren Pingsheng smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. It's your first time flying on a bird, so naturally you can't grasp the balance. But with your cultivation level, this kind of thing will definitely not be difficult for you. But your fearless mentality in the face of danger is even more important. It’s so rare.”
Shen Mo smiled bitterly and said: "I have never experienced this kind of thing, riding on the wind. It's like a dream."
Under the cold moon in the sky, a giant bird spreads its wings and soars. Two figures on its back stand in the wind. Looking from a distance, they look like immortals in a painting.
Silent enough to let Ping Ping's anger cover him, he took the opportunity to feel the speed of the roc's flight and the influence of the wind, and adjust his body shape accordingly. After a while, he seemed to have grasped the key to balance. His whole body began to rise and fall with the flying of the roc, and his tense body and emotions were relieved.
Silence high in the sky
, looking around, although it was a dark night, under the moonlight, I could only feel that my eyes were boundless, and the scenery under my feet had long turned into shadows, making it difficult to distinguish reality from reality. Silently looking back at the mountain peak, it was already far away and blurred. He raised his head again and looked at the endless sky, and suddenly felt that the universe was so vast and vast. Compared with this world, human life was so small that it was not worth mentioning. After sighing in silence, he suddenly felt that he was in a void, and he felt an incomparable sense of comfort in his heart. This kind of unrestrained freedom was something he had never experienced in his life.
Suddenly, Shen Mo felt his center of gravity shift, and he fell forward. It turned out that the roc suddenly changed its flight path and swooped down. Shen Mo has initially mastered the secret of balancing in the air. He immediately took a deep breath, followed the downward momentum of the big roc and leaned forward. Using his majestic true power as a guide, he gave birth to a feminine force that pushed him forward. Both feet were firmly attached to the back of the roc, so even though the roc was rushing down very fast, Silent's body could still remain as still as a mountain, and it no longer looked like it was in a hurry.
Ren Pingsheng, who was beside Shen Sheng, also leaned slightly. Seeing that Shen Shen was able to do this in a short period of time, he couldn't help but show a bit of admiration in his eyes.
The golden-winged roc swooped down, and the scene before Mo Shen's eyes gradually became clearer. Suddenly, among the mountains and peaks, a black shadow with traces of thunder and lightning flashed past the peaks and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The golden-winged roc seemed to be aware of it and immediately let out a sharp scream.
Silence's expression changed, and he blurted out: "Zhu Yan! Did it come with you?"
Ren Pingsheng had also seen it before, so he snorted and said, "That beast has been coveting the Spirit Gathering Stone for decades, so naturally he won't give up easily."
Silence said in surprise: "Does it also know where the senior is going?"
Ren Pingsheng said: "Like this roc, it has lived here for countless years and is extremely familiar with this world, so of course it knows where I am going."
Shen Mo frowned and said with some worry: "Zhu Yan's ferocious nature is even better than recorded in ancient books. It also has its own thunder and lightning powers, which is a bit difficult to deal with."
"No matter how ferocious it is, in my eyes, it is still just a beast." Ren Pingsheng sneered: "Over the years, I have thought that it is an ancient alien species with rare spiritual roots and difficult to survive, so I have shown mercy many times without harming its life. . If the Nine-leaf Flower hadn't bloomed just now and I had no time to distract, how could it have escaped? If he dares to mess with my overall situation again, he will be killed without mercy!" His tone was gloomy, and there was a faint flash of murderous intention between his eyebrows. Dong Dong didn't take Zhu Yan seriously at all.
Shen Mo knew that Ren Pingsheng was capable of great things, so he didn't think his words were arrogant.
While the two were talking, the roc had already flown to the top of the mountains, and the peaks and cliffs were clearly visible as far as the eye could see. But Shen Mo suddenly noticed that there was a layer of gloomy atmosphere between the mountain peaks, which was completely opposite to the spiritually dense Valley of Disappearance, and presented a very unusual aura.
While he was silently thinking, a mountain peak shaped like a huge column suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. This mountain is straight and straight, towering into the clouds. The mountain is a cliff that makes it difficult for birds to stop. At a glance, it seems to have the power to break the sky.
Silently seeing how high and dangerous this mountain peak was, he couldn't help but secretly marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. He turned his head to look at Ren Pingsheng and asked: "This mountain is so powerful. I wonder if it has its origin?" Ren Pingsheng said in a calm tone and replied briefly: "The name of this mountain is Tianzhu." He silently recited its name and looked at the mountain again. Shi, the name of Secret Dao Tianzhu, is indeed appropriate.
Suddenly, the roc flew down from the sky and passed between the peaks. The two of them stood on their backs, feeling the valleys and peaks on both sides changing rapidly, making it dizzying.
In the blink of an eye, the roc bird had flown in front of Tianzhu Peak. Looking down silently, he saw a winding river flowing around the mountain between the foot of the mountain, and he didn't know where it was going. But that sinister aura became more and more obvious and thick.
The roc flew here, swinging its wings up and down, and stabilized its body in mid-air. Ren Pingsheng raised his eyes and looked around at the same time, as if he was looking for something. After a moment he said, "Go to the right."
Dapeng could understand human speech, and immediately inflated its two huge wings again, whizzing towards the mountain wall on the right.
Dapeng flew around Tianzhu Mountain for a moment, and saw a crack suddenly appearing on the cliff of the river at the foot of the mountain. The Dapeng bird seems to have already become familiar with it
The road rushed towards the crack without stopping.
Dapeng was extremely fast and flew to the cliff at the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye. Shen Mo used his eyesight and saw that the crack actually emerged from the cliff. The crack was narrow and deep, as if the ancient god had used a magic weapon to poke a wound into this strange mountain. It's just that what's coming out of this wound is not blood, but a strange and extremely cold and cold aura.
If the spiritual essence contained in the Valley of Disappearance is the warm "Yang" like spring, then this place is the cold and cruel "Yin" that breaks out from the depths of the earth. From the flying speed of Dapeng, we can roughly calculate that this place should be within ten miles from Cansheng Valley. Silence was secretly surprised, wondering why there was such a strong contrast between yin and yang in this not-so-distant world.
Shen Mo is well-informed and has seen many dangerous mountains and strange places. Among them, the Holy Land of the Oniyinmen sect, "Chen Waijing", is located in the vast snow-capped mountains, but it can be called a miraculous place because it can be like spring all year round. But in a place with such a heavy evil spirit, silence is the first time in my life.
Before Silence could think anything else, Dapeng had already spread its wings and swept into the crack. Silence's eyes suddenly went dark. This feeling was exactly the same as the narrow mountain road when he first entered the Cansheng Valley with Ren Shengsheng.
Shen Mo immediately realized that these narrow cracks were the entrances to this area that Master Yinlong said?
In the darkness, the speed of the roc did not slow down. It folded its wings and moved forward in the dark passage with only its rushing momentum. Silence suddenly felt something, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look back.
Ren Pingsheng suddenly said: "You don't have to look. In half an hour, this passage will no longer appear in the same position."
Silence was surprised when he revealed what he was thinking, and asked: "Why is this?"
Ren Pingsheng seemed to be hesitating, but he soon heard his answer: "Since you have already come in, I might as well tell you some reasons. This square of heaven and earth is like a huge circle, and this circle will follow the movement of the sun and the moon. The same changes occur with the change of trajectory and time. To put it simply, this place moves on its own for some reason, so the entrances will also move accordingly."
After listening to it in silence, he felt that Ren Pingsheng's words were too absurd and bizarre. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. He frowned and said: "What the senior said is too mysterious. It is really difficult for me to understand and believe it."
Ren Pingsheng said: "I have already said that the world is huge and contains all kinds of wonders. The universe encompasses everything. However, it is a good thing if you don't believe it. If you really believe it, you might get into unnecessary trouble."
"Getting into trouble?" Shen Mo was even more puzzled and asked, "What do you mean, senior?"
Ren Pingsheng suddenly stopped talking.
Just as Shen Mo was about to ask, his eyes suddenly lit up. The roc bird had flown out of the cracked passage and landed on an extremely wide stone flat.
"arrive."
Ren Pingsheng breathed a sigh of relief, dusted off his clothes, and after dissipating his energy, he fell down from the back of the roc.
Shen Mo also jumped off the bird's back, but because he had been flying high in the air for a long time, his head and feet still felt fuzzy when he landed. He took a few deep breaths before returning to normal.
Ren Pingsheng walked slowly to Dapeng, looked at it carefully, and said, "Old man, your time of transformation is coming, so hurry up and leave."
Shen Mo also looked at this ancient raptor, and then realized that after a while, its whole body began to faintly emit a layer of hazy golden light, its two vertical pupils were even more energetic, and the tumor on its forehead But it was as fresh as a drop of blood, as if it could drip blood.
Silent's expression changed slightly, and then he realized that the nine-leaf petals were indeed very effective. The roc bird swallowed one petal, and now it has really begun to transform.
The roc seemed to have sensed its own strange phenomenon. After letting out a low cry, it turned around, spread its wings, and flew away from the original path.
Ren Pingsheng watched Dapeng fly out of the crack and suddenly sighed.
Silently turned around to look, and under the moonlight, he saw a look of exhaustion on Ren Pingsheng's face.
Ren Pingsheng suddenly looked up at the top of his head, his brows furrowed slightly, but he remained silent.
Silence also raised his head and found out
It turns out that their foothold at the moment is not outside Tianzhu Mountain, but inside the mountain. The reason why there is moonlight entering the mountain is because this narrow crack extends diagonally from bottom to top, forming a natural gap in the hundred-foot-high mountain. Shen Mo visually inspected the height of the gap and roughly guessed that the location of the gap should be halfway up Tianzhu Mountain.
After this period of silence, his eyesight was enough to adapt to the environment in the mountain. At this time, he asked: "Senior, what kind of place is this?"
Only then did Ren Pingsheng look away and said calmly: "This is the Pillar of the Earth." He answered and began to walk outside the stone flat. Silence had no choice but to follow.
"Pillar of the Earth?" Silence was stunned, and then he immediately remembered what Ren Pingsheng had said, and it suddenly dawned on him, but he still had many questions in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Is the Pillar of the Earth that the senior mentioned before turned out to be this mountain?"
Outside the stone flat, there is an abyss, which is so dark and deep that the bottom cannot be seen. From time to time, there is the sound of wind gushing out of the abyss, and there is also the sound of rapids like waves crashing on the shore. It seems that there is an underground river hidden at the bottom of the abyss.
Ren Shengsheng walked around the edge of the stone flat with light steps, as if his feet were not touching the ground, and walked into another, narrower passage. Silence followed closely, only to find that this passage could only accommodate one person. The stone walls were smooth and dry, as if they were not natural, but more like they were dug by manpower.
Ren Pingsheng led the way and said: "The Pillar of the Earth is not this mountain, but underneath it. This place was originally a volcano in ancient times. Later, after the terrain changed, the volcano erupted from the inside, and the ground was torn apart. , but it has since penetrated vertically and horizontally, forming a gathering place where earth veins are connected. After tens of millions of years, the underground structure has changed again, forming a strange giant pillar, on which the energy of countless earth veins has gathered and condensed, so it is called For the Pillars of the Earth." He was talking eloquently, but the silence behind him sounded suspicious, and he frowned secretly.
Ren Pingsheng's words may sound absurd and bizarre, but they actually contain profound knowledge of astronomy and geography. Although Shen Mo is well-informed, he has no knowledge of astronomy, geography, and Feng Shui, so he was naturally suspicious when he first heard it.
But although the silence was suspicion, he had to believe Ren Pingsheng's words. Because there are indeed too many things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense. And since I followed Ren Pingsheng into this place that seemed ordinary but contained countless mysteries, I saw and heard everything I couldn't understand, but those things existed so real that I couldn't help but remain silent and disbelief.
"It turns out that the Pillars of the Earth have such a reason." Although Shen Mo was still puzzled, she still sighed: "The secret of this place is difficult to find, but someone found it and discovered the mystery. Compared to The magic of this place, I think the person who discovered this place for the first time is even more powerful, otherwise this place would not have the name Pillars of the Earth."
Ren Pingsheng nodded gently in the darkness and agreed: "You are right. Without the talents and supreme wisdom of the world, as well as the profound martial arts cultivation, it would be extremely difficult to make this discovery. So I discovered The people here are unparalleled throughout history and beyond comparison."
"Ah!" Mo Mo was shocked when he heard the words, and he was extremely curious. He blurted out, "Senior, since you know so much about this place, you must know who that person is, right?"
Ren Pingsheng shook his head slightly and said: "Although I have known this place for decades, I know very little about that person. Just from those clues, I can guess that the person who lived so long ago must be a He is a member of the Taoist sect, and his name is Xiaoyaozi."
"Xiaoyaozi?" He silently recited the name, thought for a moment, and said with a frown, "I have traveled through the rivers and lakes for many years, but I have never heard of such a person in the Taoist sect."
Ren Pingsheng also sighed: "In the past two hundred years, throughout the Taoist sects in the world, I have never heard of such an amazing person. And there is no record of the name Xiaoyaozi in the world. To be honest, this This is also the biggest puzzle that has stayed in my mind since I learned about this place. Later, I speculated that even if Xiaoyaozi is really a Taoist, he does not necessarily come from an orthodox Taoist sect. Because since ancient times, those casual cultivators who practice Taoism have not Rare."
Silent and silent, even if he had no idea of his origin, he couldn't come to a conclusion even if he tried hard. like
Among the lower sects today, the Qingcheng Chongzhen Sword Sect is undoubtedly the leader. But a hundred years ago, the Chongzhen Sword Sect was just a branch of the Taoist sect. Because of the unprecedented Lu Huaichen, it was able to rise to the top and become the leader of the Taoist sect in just a hundred years. Based on this calculation, if Xiaoyaozi is really a cultivator, he has nothing to do with the Chongzhen Sword Sect.
During the silence and contemplation, a light appeared in front of them, and the two of them had walked out of the passage. Shen Mo raised his eyes and saw that he saw a wide basin with a radius of a hundred feet. The basin was slightly tilted towards the center. The ground was covered with exotic flowers and plants, but most of the flowers and plants seemed to have lost their nutrients and withered. There is an oval pool in the center of the basin. In the middle of the pool, a dark stone pillar stands abruptly.
When Shen Mo saw the strange stone pillar from a distance, his heart moved: Could it be the Pillar of the Earth? Suddenly, the pool suddenly turned into waves, and at the same time, an extremely strong cold air emerged along with the waves.
The gloomy air swept in all directions and dispersed into the sky with the wind. Within a hundred feet radius, the temperature dropped sharply, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on Shen Shen's body.
Silence suddenly realized that the evil spirit outside Tianzhu Mountain originated from here. He glanced at Ren Pingsheng, who looked solemn but did not speak. He just raised his head and glanced at the sky, and then walked silently towards the pool.
Silence followed behind and began to look around at the surrounding environment. This place is located in the hinterland of Tianzhu Mountain. Because of the special terrain of the basin, the hinterland of the mountain has formed a hollow shape. Looking up, the top of the mountain is more than a thousand feet high. When the cold moon pours down from the sky, it covers the entire basin.
However, the mountains around the basin are extremely steep and jagged with strange rocks, extending straight from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain pass, with a strange tendency to rush toward the sky. There was a sudden thought in silence, and I guessed that this kind of mountain must have been formed when the volcano erupted.
Not long after, the two of them came to the edge of the pool one after another. At this time, the pool became calm again, with ripples appearing under the moonlight. Ren Pingsheng stood by the pool with his hands behind his back and looked at the dark stone pillar in the center.
The stone pillar was about ten feet high above the water, as wide as six or seven adult men's arms. The whole body is as dark as ink, with strange rocks everywhere. On the top of the stone pillar, there is a faint gathering of spiritual energy, but the atmosphere is extremely weak.
After watching in silence for a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "Senior, could this be the Pillar of the Earth?"
Ren Pingsheng nodded and said, "That's right. This place is the Pillar of the Earth that was named after Xiaoyaozi."
Silent but frowning, he said: "According to what the senior said, the Pillar of the Earth is where all the earth's spiritual energy gathers, but why is it filled with evil energy now?"
Ren Pingsheng looked solemn and said slowly: "In ancient times, an emperor once said: "Yin and Yang are the way of heaven and earth, the order of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, and the home of the gods." This principle is used to describe this place. The situation is the same. He exhaled and said slowly: "Everything in the world begins with yin and yang. Only when yin and yang are balanced can it be natural. However, the yin and yang have begun to be out of balance here, so there is such a strong yin evil spirit. And the Pillar of the Earth Affected by Yin evil spirits, the spiritual accumulation has been nearly exhausted, and it is almost impossible to control the operation of this world."
Shen Mo was stunned for a while, frowned and asked, "What will happen if the earth here loses its Yang Qi spirit?"
Ren Pingsheng was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "The earth veins are like the meridians of the human body. If one vein is blocked, hundreds of meridians will be damaged, and if hundreds of meridians are damaged, the person will be ill. If the pillar of the earth loses the energy of the earth veins and collapses, it will gather here Thousands of years of evil energy will flow out, and a serious disease will definitely arise between heaven and earth." As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on the stone pillar without moving at all.
Silence didn't need to think too much to understand what Ren Pingsheng meant by "serious illness". The major diseases between heaven and earth are nothing more than the beginning of various unpredictable disasters - imbalance of the four seasons, climate disorders, earthquakes and plagues, uneven droughts and floods. Then the people were in dire straits, the world was in turmoil, and then swords and soldiers broke out all over the world, mountains and rivers were overturned, and thousands of miles were stained with blood. If people are sick, it is nothing more than personal life and death, but if the world is sick, it is related to the life and death of millions of people.
Shen Mo has followed Yuan Wuzong since he was a child, but Yuan Wuzong was greatly damaged by the drastic changes in the Guiyin Sect, so he became disheartened and had an indifferent attitude towards everything, just to follow the fate and be content with the situation. His two disciples, Xiao Yi and Shen Mo, were also influenced by him.
I don’t have much feeling about the rise and fall of the world. Now Shen Mo heard what Ren Pingsheng said, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but think of the tragedy in his childhood when his family was destroyed. If it hadn't been for the unrest and war at that time, dozens of members of his family would not have been massacred by a group of rebels. This incident has always been a sorrow that can never be forgotten in Shen Shen's heart. Although she had killed the murderer with her own hands and avenged the blood revenge of her family, but when she recalled it again, she still felt a strong sense of hatred and grief rushing from her heart. When he got up, veins popped out on his forehead, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Suddenly, a gloomy air hit his face, and Silence shuddered before he suddenly came back to his senses. Then he realized that this place was of great importance. No wonder a peerless master like Ren Shengsheng was worried about it.
Shen Mo exhaled a breath and asked tentatively: "Since this place is so important, does senior have any way to deal with it?"
Only then did Ren Pingsheng look away and took out the spirit-gathering stone. There was a bulging vein on the back of his hand. He looked at the treasure of heaven and earth that gathered hundreds of years of spiritual energy in Cansheng Valley. His frown relaxed slightly, then he glanced at Silence again, and then said: "This is why I want to seize the spirit gathering stone and ask you for help." .”
Shen Sheng was gifted and intelligent. Seeing Ren Pingsheng's expression, and thinking about this encounter, and then picking apart the cocoons from Ren Pingsheng's previous words, he already had some vague guesses in his mind. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the top of the Pillar of the Earth. The spiritual energy seemed to be lingering and about to disperse in the thick sinister atmosphere.
Silent eyes flashed, and asked slowly: "Senior has been waiting for the Nine-leaf Flower to bloom and bear fruit for decades. Could it be that he wants to use the supreme creation contained in the Spirit Gathering Stone to repair the lost spiritual essence of the Pillar of the Earth, so that the people here can Are the earth veins back to normal?"
When Ren Pingsheng heard this, his expression changed slightly. He looked at Shen Sheng, with a mixture of surprise and approval in his eyes.
But Ren Pingsheng did not comment on Shen Mo's words. He put away the spirit gathering stone, patted Shen Shen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You have fought with people many times, and you have poisonous wounds on your body, and you follow me around, your energy skills Your body has been damaged a lot, so you should have a good rest. As for the rest, we can wait until after tonight."
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything more, Shen Mo stopped asking questions at the moment. Since he had a guess in his mind, he might be able to solve the doubt himself within these two days.
After relaxing in silence, I felt a slight soreness in the muscles and bones all over my body. The remaining poison from the Soul-stealing Nail in his body also prevented his Qi from flowing smoothly, so he thought he should take the opportunity to take a good rest.
Seeing the sparkling water in the pool, he remembered the bloody battle in Daomakan. His body was already covered in blood and he had no time to clean it up. He walked to the edge of the pool and squatted down to drink water with his hands, wanting to wash his face.
As soon as the water was stained on the face, the wound of the eyebrows suddenly felt painful. The wound was when he fought about the real, in order to solve the killing of the demon girl, he was opened with a nail, and he did not heal at this time. At the same time, water stains in the silent lips, and a salty smell came from the tip of the tongue.
Silence was silent, and then poured a handful of water into his mouth, and then his look changed.
He spit out the water, stood up and looked at Ren Pingsheng, doubting: "Senior, how can this water be sea water?"
Ren Pingsheng said faintly: "Of course, this is seawater, it is a seawater that cannot drink thirst."
Silent was surprised: "How can there be sea water here?"
Ren Pingsheng looked at the Wang Shuitan and said, "Of course, there will be a sea where there is a sea water."
I didn't think much about silently, frowned, "But here is obviously a mountain, where is there a sea?"
"It is indeed a mountain here, there is no sea." Ren Pingsheng said indifferently: "But this does not mean that there is no outside of the mountain and under the ground."
"Outside of the mountain, under the ground?" Silence was even more surprised, frowning tightly. He turned around, and suddenly his eyes brightened, and blurtedly: "Is the outside of these mountains that is the sea of sinking?"
Ren Pingsheng smiled again, and his tone was light and light, and said, "If not, how do you think the dragon master came here?"
Silence is no longer talking.
Sunken sea. That piece of Wang Yang, which isolate the border between the Central Plains and the barbarians, is outside the world and underground.
Buried
The pillar of the ground does not know how deep the ground, between the vertical veins, and the sinking sea is also connected at the same time, so there will be seawater to penetrate the ground, where it is converged into this water pond today. .five
At this moment, the water pond swinging waves again, and between the yin and the vitality rolling, there was a thunderous roar as if it was a heavy voice from the deep deep, and it came from the depths of the water pond.
Silent heard the extremely unusual strange sound, and suddenly looked like he suddenly, and asked, "Senior, what is it under this pond?" What is it? "
Ren Pingsheng glanced at the pond, his tone sinking, and said, "In the moonlight two days later, you know what it is."
After that, he exhaled and turned away.
[Words: Last night, I dreamed that there was an old -fashioned old Taoist priest, holding a stick like a stick of clothes, rolled up her trouser legs, and went down the mountain. 】
