Time goes back to an hour ago.
As the last participant jumped into the cold pool deep in the cave.
Master Ziyang swept the dust in his hand, and as his magic power surged, nearly a hundred projections appeared on the cliff.
That is the picture presented by the "Eye of the Sky" positioned at each participant.
However, what caused the expressions of him and the surrounding Yin gods from the five sects and ten sects to change suddenly was that nearly a hundred projection images, without exception, all showed the scene of torrential rain, which was the appearance of the gray realm, but only The disciples of various sects as the "main body" are missing!
"Master Ziyang, what's going on!"
There is a grumpy Yin Shen Zhenren who is anxious.
Although these introductory disciples are still relatively young in cultivation and only have bigu skills, they are the seeds and future of their respective sects.
These days, it is not easy to find a suitable disciple.
As leaders, they also serve as guardians. If something happens to the disciples, they don't know how to explain it when they return to the sect.
At this moment, all the Yin Shen people present turned their attention to Zi Yang, and the beard on his face became a little stiff.
Cold sweat broke out from the palms of his hands. Master Ziyang said quickly: "Fellow Taoists, please don't worry. Maybe there is a slight error in the heavenly eye. Let me check it out."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and used his soul to communicate with his "eye of heaven", but the examination results showed that everything was normal.
But normality, at this time, is the biggest abnormality!
Without caring about anything else, Master Ziyang rushed into the cave. Upon seeing this, Master Yin Shen nearby followed closely behind.
But when they arrived at the cold water pool deep in the cave, Master Ziyang and the other Masters Yin Shen were stunned.
I saw that the cold water pool that was originally like water was frozen into a pool of gray ice crystals.
"The entrance is semi-solidified. Is this a sign that Gray Realm is about to complete its promotion?!"
Master Yinshen said in astonishment, and then he glared at Master Ziyang angrily: "What do you want Tianlou to do? How could such a big flaw appear in just a thin gray area of exploration?!"
Not only him, but the other Yin Shen Zhenren were also furious.
Once the promotion is completed, this will be the [Medium Slow Gray Realm], and the monsters in the Medium Slow Gray Realm can be fought by a group of children who don't even have foundation building skills?
It was simply asking them to die.
Faced with the accusations from all the Yinshen Masters, beads of sweat broke out on the forehead of Master Ziyang. He said in a dry voice: "It's okay, haven't they completed the promotion? They have a first-class boundary-breaking talisman in hand, and they want to leave. , it shouldn’t be difficult…”
Someone said coldly: "The question is, how do they know that they should use the boundary-breaking talisman to leave the gray realm at this moment?"
As soon as these words came out, Master Ziyang suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"The [Thin Gray Realm] can only accommodate monks who have reached the highest realm of Bigu Perfection. If monks who are higher than this realm want to enter it, they will not be able to enter it unless they pay a huge price and proclaim their cultivation."
"At this moment, the entrance to the gray area is semi-solidified, and it is no longer possible to enter it. You need to wait for the solidified entrance to be unsealed again, but by then, the thin gray area has been promoted to the medium gray area."
"Wentianlou, what a Wentianlou."
"You'd better pray that this disciple is okay, otherwise, even if your landlord comes forward, it won't be easy to settle the matter."
Duanmu Shuyi's eyes were cold, and Zhang Yingxiu's eyes beside her were also full of worry.
Xiao Changsheng, you must protect yourself!
…
In the gray realm, within the temple.
Wang Changsheng stared at the plaque that was broken into two parts, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
He seemed to have heard of the taboo "Wisteria Empress" before - among the people kneeling on the ground, some were still praying to this unknown "god" before they died.
A combination of the two.
In other words, this temple was originally dedicated to an unknown deity named "Wisteria Empress"?
But why was His plaque broken and abandoned in this dark corner?
Moreover, wisteria... Wang Changsheng thought of the thatched house he was in when he first entered the Gray Realm. The flower that the dead boy was holding tightly in his hand was none other than wisteria!
Wang Changsheng stepped forward and picked up the broken plaque. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he saw a book hidden behind the plaque that emitted a faint purple light.
He took a closer look and saw three big characters written on the cover of the book.
——"Teng County Chronicle"
Wang Changsheng was delighted. Is this a historical book that describes local conditions?
And for some reason, there is some strong emotion placed on this county chronicle. It is this power that protects the fragile book from being damaged by the erosion of the gray air.
Carefully picking up the "Tengxian County Chronicle", Wang Changsheng opened it and read it.
After a while, he breathed a long sigh of relief, with a complicated look in his eyes.
He finally understood where this gray area was mapped, and he finally knew why the place looked like this.
Teng County is the name of this place.
It is named after the rattan because the people here believe in a god named "Wisteria Empress".
According to old legend, a long, long time ago, a wisteria was born here. It lived on the top of the mountain and withstood countless winds, frosts, rains and snows, and finally succeeded in cultivation and became a god.
With this lingering shadow, demons did not dare to enter Teng County. Over time, Teng County evolved here.
Whether this legend is true or not cannot be verified, but the status of the "Wisteria Empress" is extremely noble in the minds of the people of Teng County.
People in Teng County plant wisteria in every household and regard wisteria flowers as treasures.
The mountain where Lady Wisteria was born in the past is also called "Yang Mountain" because it is said that on the day when Lady Wisteria became a god, the sun fell from the clouds and was so brilliant that it reflected the entire mountain peak in a golden and magnificent way.
For a long time, the people of Teng County who believed in the Lady Wisteria had been living and working in peace and contentment, but the turning point of everything was an evil dragon passing by.
That day, the sky in Teng County was covered by black clouds, and in the crackling lightning, the body of a huge evil dragon could be vaguely seen in the clouds.
Heavy rains poured down, flooding crops and destroying houses.
People knelt in front of the Temple of the Wisteria Lady and prayed, hoping that the Lady Wisteria would drive away the evil dragon, but the only response they got was cold silence.
Sadness, pain, despair, wailing...
Under the torture of death, some people could no longer bear it and removed the plaque of the Wisteria Empress Temple and broke it to vent their anger.
In order to survive, the people of Teng County began to offer sacrifices to the evil dragon in exchange for the possibility of humble survival. There were some shocking blood sacrifices among them.
Perhaps their "piety" moved the evil dragon and the heavy rain stopped, but the blood sacrifice must be held once a month. Otherwise, the heavy rain will fall immediately.
The people of Teng County could only do as they were told.
The abominable dragon was so cruel that it was not satisfied with the blood sacrifice once a month at first, but it lasted for twenty days, half a month, a week... until finally, it demanded daily blood sacrifice.
Just when the people of Teng County were completely desperate.
A beam of light rising from Yangshan penetrated the thick and dark rain curtain, shooting down the evil dragon hiding in it and causing trouble, and fell into Yangshan.
Since then, the evil dragon that plagued Teng County has been eliminated.
Some people want to climb up Yangshan Mountain to check the situation, but at this moment, Yangshan Mountain is covered by thick fog. Anyone who enters it will come out in a daze within a few moments.
Over time, no one dared to enter Yangshan anymore.
An Orion once heard the melodious sound of the guzheng at the foot of Yangshan Mountain at dusk.
Therefore, the people of Teng County regarded the master who played the guzheng as the hero who shot down the evil dragon and saved Teng County, and respected him as the "Yang Lord".
