In the endless gray fog, Jining looked around with his purple eyes, appearing extremely cautious.
"Whoops!" A black shadow flew toward him, and the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sword instantly turned into a sword shadow that filled the sky and slashed at the black shadow. This black shadow felt the power of the sword shadow in the sky, and immediately disappeared in the gray mist.
This gray fog seems to be the world of this strange black shadow, which makes this strange black shadow everywhere. Therefore, when Jining first entered the gray fog, he was almost attacked by it.
At this time, Jining finally saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, but he had no memory of this monster living in the gray fog. The black shadow looked a bit like an ordinary macaque, but it did not have the aura of a living thing on it. There is a strange cold air that makes people feel weird.
It seems that it is not a living thing, but a monster produced in this gray fog.
At this time, two words "Crown Monkey" flashed in my mind. It is said that the exotic beast "Crown Monkey" is born between heaven and earth, and it is also hidden between heaven and earth. Only few people can see it. When this strange beast appears, it will bring a life and death disaster to this world. But those who can subdue this strange beast will have endless luck.
Therefore, countless powerful people are looking for this strange beast in various interfaces. However, if they have no chance to find this strange beast, even if they encounter it, they will return in vain.
"Could it be that this beast is the crowned beast, and the disaster in this world is caused by it?" Jining secretly thought to himself. Although Jining had this thought in his heart, he was still careful to prevent the monster from attacking him again.
Perhaps after several consecutive attacks to no avail, the monster seemed to disappear in the gray mist.
Through the gray fog, a broken wall appeared in front of Jining. Judging from the huge rock fragments on the ground, it was once a magnificent palace.
It’s just that I don’t know what happened to turn this palace into a pile of rubble.
There are several collapsed white jade statues in the weeds ahead. Although countless years have passed, the majesty of the white jade statues can still be seen. The mysterious inscriptions on their bodies are still clear, and the traces left by the attack are also clearly visible.
It had been quiet here for too long, and his sudden appearance also startled a few spirit rats that were foraging in the weeds, and they instantly disappeared into the nearby grass without a trace.
Jining's consciousness was slowly released, but he didn't find anything special here. It seems that this secret realm that has gone through countless years has been explored countless times by other monks who have entered this place, so no valuable items have been left behind.
Since this place was once the land of immortals, Jining, who longed for the fairyland, naturally would not leave here, so he walked among the ruins, feeling everything around him, hoping to find some inspiration in the ruins.
"Huh?" Jining was surprised when he saw a long ravine in front of him. This long ravine ran through the ancient ruins. The flat and straight ravine should have been left by a sword.
Although it has gone through countless years without any remaining traces of sword intent, Jining can still feel the power of this sword back then.
It seemed that an earth-shattering battle had taken place here back then. From the traces left around him, Jining knew that the monks involved in this battle were all strong men he looked up to.
It's just that whether these powerful monks and immortals finally fell here or left here, only the people involved may know all this.
Walking slowly along the long ravine, it seems like you are feeling the war in the past.
Suddenly he stopped and looked ahead with some shock. Two broken stone tablets were lying in the weeds. It seemed that they had been cut off by the sword back then. Suddenly a look of surprise appeared on Jining's face, and then the look of surprise turned into deep shock.
What shocked Jining was not the sword that cut off the stone tablet, but the strange inscription on the stone tablet:
"There are thousands of teachings, but it is easy to know and difficult to practice; all the teachings are silent, and knowledge and practice are unified."
Because the remaining words on the inscription seemed familiar to him, it gradually became clearer in his mind, and then memories that had been dusty for a long time emerged in his mind.
When he was just a young monk in the Qi training period, when he went to Luodu in the land of Dongzhou to fulfill his ten-year agreement, he saw the strange stone tablet on Mount Buzhou. There are also two lines of words on that stone tablet. Although the words on that stone tablet are somewhat different from the words on this stone tablet, they seem to be connected somehow.
"There are thousands of Taoisms, but it is difficult to know and practice them forever!" Jining couldn't help but mutter to himself.
As Jining muttered softly to himself, he seemed to feel an invisible sigh.
Is it just a coincidence, or just an illusion?
However, Jining thought it was a coincidence. If there was a connection between the place where he was born and the unreachable fairyland, it would really be fate.
Looking at the words on the stone tablet, Jining felt a strange feeling in his heart.
"All dharmas return to silence, and knowledge and action unite!" Jining muttered softly, but he didn't know what he meant. All dharmas have their own laws, and it is the avenue for monks to pursue immortality. But how can the avenue return to silence?
Jining knew that this inscription must have a reason, but it seemed that he was not yet at a level that he could understand the meaning of it.
Perhaps because of the inexplicable kindness, he slowly walked towards the stone monument and gently waved his sleeves. After a gust of breeze, the mottled stone wall became spotless.
At this time, the shock in his eyes became more and more intense. As he got closer, the inscription seemed to come to life, but disappeared after a moment. As the inscription disappeared, the stone tablet began to crack, then turned into dust and collapsed. There were bursts of smoke and dust.
Everything in front of him made Jining sigh in his heart: "What about the Immortal Family? After all, it has escaped the erosion of the years. Everything will eventually return to dust and dust to dust!" Jining sighed in his heart, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Huh?"
At this time, Jining saw something in the dust on the ground. It turned out to be a palm-sized stone tablet. It looked like a miniature of the damaged stone tablet, and even the inscription on it was exactly the same.
The material of this mini stone tablet is also very ordinary, and there is nothing special about it. It's just that Jining has an intuition in his heart that it is not ordinary. Maybe his current level is too low to see through it.
Jining gently touched the inscription on it: "Maybe this is fate!"
After some fruitless exploration, he planned to put the mini stone tablet into the storage bracelet. He knew that if the quality of the mini stone tablet was higher than the storage bracelet, it would not be able to be included in the storage bracelet.
But he found that this mini stone tablet seemed to be an ordinary stone, so he conveniently put it into the storage bracelet.
Although he was quite puzzled, he did not continue to investigate further, and then looked around in the ruins. However, he did not see anything else of interest in the ruins, so he had no plans to do so. Continue to stay here.
Then he walked away.
When he left through the gray mist again, he felt a little surprised. He no longer felt the breath of the crowned beast in the gray mist. It was as if the crowned beast had never existed.
