Ksitigarbha's voice was soft, but almost everyone present focused their attention on him. Qi Ning and other people who did not know the secrets of the past listened attentively to what Ksitigarbha said.
At this time, Beitang Qing, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but ask: "What happened that changed everything later?"
Ksitigarbha did not look at Beitang Qing, but he glanced at the island owner. Seeing this, the island owner sighed: "There was a strange phenomenon in the sky. That night, a stream of fire passed by in the sky, and passed above the royal city. Many people were See that stream of fire falling on the snowy mountains."
"Flowing fire?" Qining was startled.
Ksitigarbha said: "It was a huge flame that hit the snowy mountains. At that time, the heaven and the earth seemed to be shaking."
Qi Ning's heart trembled, and he immediately thought that there was a fire falling from the sky into the Snowy Mountains. Could the fire be a meteorite? This is very possible.
Is it possible that these people becoming great masters have anything to do with the flowing fire that fell into the Snowy Mountains
Beitang Qingli immediately said: "There is a strange phenomenon in the sky, and the flowing fire has fallen into the Snowy Mountains. Of course the Ancient Elephant King will not miss it. Will he send someone to look for it?"
"That's natural." The island owner sneered: "The Ancient Elephant King only thought it was some big treasure that fell from the sky, so he immediately sent people to search for it in the Snowy Mountains. Moreover, he was worried that we would get involved and steal them from the Snowy Mountains. baby, so I sent people to keep an eye on us, lest we also run to the Snowy Mountains."
"But you ended up going to the Snowy Mountains!" Qining said.
The island owner smiled and said: "That was the Marquis's way of attacking the East and the West. After this incident, King Gu Xiang's thoughts were all over the Snowy Mountains. Naturally, he neglected the Northern Han Dynasty envoy, so the Marquis wanted to return with the envoy. Gu Xiang The Elephant King pretended to stay, but he quickly agreed. After the mission set off, we all left with the mission. The Ancient Elephant King also sent people to send people out of the royal city for nearly a hundred miles, and then sent spies to follow secretly. See, Do we really leave the ancient elephant country?"
Beitang Qing said: "Of course you used the envoy as a cover and left the envoy secretly. The ancient elephant agents did not dare to approach the envoy and followed them all the way. When they saw the envoy leaving, they just thought that you were all leaving with the envoy."
"He is indeed a famous general of the Northern Han Dynasty. On the battlefield, Changling Hou is naturally familiar with this kind of tactic of attacking in the east and in the west." The island owner smiled and said: "The Marquis took me and two other attendants and secretly left the mission. Beigong The four of us also left the mission together." He raised his hand and stroked his beard and said, "Heifu had no foundation in martial arts at that time. Although he knew that going to the Snowy Mountains would be extremely dangerous, he still followed him. That was really a lot of courage. Back then, If he leaves with the mission and doesn't get involved in this muddy water, maybe it won't be a bad thing for him."
Beitang Qing smiled lightly and said: "Heifu is the guide of the Sword God. It is natural to follow the Sword God. It's just that the emperor's uncle led the island owner to the Snowy Mountains, which is unexpected."
"I am his chess slave. I serve him day and night. He takes me to the Snowy Mountains with him. Maybe it is a reward for me." The island owner said with a half-smile but not a smile: "A group of us dressed up as the Ancient Elephant Man. , arrived at the Snowy Mountains, but the Snowy Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles. Although they knew that the flowing fire fell into the Snowy Mountains, no one could be sure where it was. The Ancient Elephant King mobilized thousands of people to search along the Snowy Mountains. Moreover, many mountain crossings have been blocked, making it difficult for ordinary people not to mention going up the mountain, but even getting close to the Snowy Mountains."
"Then how did you go up the mountain?" Qining asked.
The island owner said: "Brother Beigong can find a Miao guide to get out of the Miao Mountains. Naturally, we can also find a guide to climb the Daxue Mountain. There are many temples near the Daxue Mountain. Although they are far from comparable to the Zhuri Temple later, they Everyone in the Guxiang Kingdom was in awe of the monks. The Marquis sent the two attendants into a small temple in the middle of the night and captured a monk who came out as a guide. He also killed several other loudspeakers in the temple. Hehe, let’s talk about it. He is cruel and ruthless, and the Marquis is not inferior to anyone."
"Monk?" Qi Ning's eyes twitched and he lost his voice: "It's... the Dharma King Zhuri!"
"At that time, he was just a lama. There were only eight thousand lamas like him in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, if not ten thousand." The island owner said with a hint of disdain in his tone: "Brother Beigong still remembers that Zhuri was captured By that time, I was almost scared out of my mind.”
Beigong even ignored Cheng Li and remained silent with his eyes closed.
"His Dharma King Zhuri took you up the mountain in order to save his life?"
"We have found the right person." The island owner smiled and said: "Although many hiking trails in the Daxue Mountains are blocked, the mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles cannot be guarded airtight even if ten thousand people are deployed. The great monk is right The environment of Daxue Mountain is very familiar, and he led us up the mountain on a small road." At this point, the smile on his face gradually faded, he shook his head and sighed: "If we had known in advance how many narrow escapes we had on the mountain, we might not have been so anxious. Went up the mountain to find the so-called treasure."
Qining was frightened when he thought of the steepness and coldness of the Snowy Mountains.
That day, he was taken to the Snowy Mountains by Ximen Wuhen. The higher he got, the thinner the air became, and the coldness penetrated his bones. If he hadn't had strong internal strength, he would have been frozen to death on the Snowy Mountains.
Moreover, the roads on the mountain are steep and rugged, covered with heavy snow. If you miss the mark, you will fall into the cliff and abyss, and there may even be an avalanche at any time. From a distance, the Snowy Mountains are covered with snow, magnificent and beautiful. It can be said to be a wonder in the world, but being in it , it’s like hell.
"If it weren't for the mute slave, I'm afraid the island owner wouldn't be able to speak here, right?" Jizo said calmly.
The island owner nodded slightly and sighed: "At that time, I lost my footing and almost fell off the cliff. It was the mute slave who grabbed my hand in time. He held on to me with all his strength. If Brother Beigong hadn't reacted in time and grabbed one of the mute slave's legs, I and I would have been together. I'm afraid the mute slave will be buried in the abyss." He looked at the sky and said, "He could have let go to protect himself, but the mute slave didn't do that. I really owe him a life."
Beigong finally said at this time: "If the mute slave hadn't pushed me away at the critical moment, I... would have been crushed to death by that snow stone!" His tone was calm, without too many emotional fluctuations, but this sentence was It is enough to prove that whether it is the island owner or Bei Gong, when the Daxue Mountain encountered danger, it was the mute slave who stepped forward and saved them regardless of his own safety.
In the Snowy Mountains, everyone naturally has to unite as a whole, so that they can fight against the cold and danger. If they work together, no one will be able to go down the Snowy Mountains.
After all, I was among this group of people at that time. Not to mention the great master, I'm afraid there isn't even a top master.
"Have you found the flowing fire?" Beitang Qing was obviously not very interested in the difficulties these people encountered in the Snowy Mountains. He just wanted to know what the flowing fire was.
The island owner glanced at Beitang Qing and said, "If I hadn't seen that flowing fire, how could we be in today's situation?"
Qi Ning had always speculated whether it was because of the flowing fire that one of the five great masters in this group of people later came out. When the island owner said these words, Qi Ning was already sure that the flowing fire must be the source of the great masters.
"What exactly is Flowing Fire?" Beitang Qing asked.
The island owner snorted coldly and said: "Chanling Marquis is very interested in this. Could it be that he also wants to go to the Snowy Mountains to hunt for treasure one day? Now that this secret has been learned by you today, do you still want to leave this island easily?"
Bei Tangqing frowned, and Qi Ning and Chi Danmei also had strange looks in their eyes.
Qi Ning sneered in his heart. He had already estimated that since Ksitigarbha and the island owner had revealed the secrets of the past, they would never let anyone who heard about it leave easily.
The mystery of the great master has always been the secret that everyone in the world wants to know most. After all, no one has been able to completely break through the limits of the human body and reach an incredible martial arts realm. If one were to appear, it could be described as a miracle, but The appearance of five great masters at the same time cannot be explained by chance. There must be secrets that cannot be told to outsiders.
Several masters have kept this secret secret for decades. Now that the island owner no longer keeps it secret, he has naturally thought of a solution and must silence those like Qi Ning who know such secrets.
"It's just a stone." The island owner pondered for a moment and then said: "A huge stone."
"Stone?" Qi Ning's heart tightened. What the island owner said had almost verified Qi Ning's previous guess.
Ksitigarbha sighed: "A dark and smooth boulder."
"The stone is like a huge egg, but it is completely black, as if it is coated with grease." The island owner then said: "If we hadn't felt it was a stone, we would have thought it was an eggshell flying from the sky. That big black stone is there A huge deep hole was dug in the snowy mountain. The surrounding snow was melted, and the exposed rocks all had traces of being burned by the fire. So we concluded that it was the flowing fire we saw in the ancient Elephant King City. It was in the sky. A ball of flame fell into the snowy mountains, and when the flame was extinguished, it turned into a large black stone."
Chi Danmei, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: "The Ancient Elephant King sent so many people to search for the Snowy Mountains that are hundreds of miles away. They are Ancient Elephant people and are naturally more familiar with the Snowy Mountains than you. In the end, you were the first to discover that stone. It seems to be God’s will.”
Beitang Qing said: "If it is just a stone, how can it change your subsequent destiny? What secret does the stone hold?"
Qi Ning was completely sure at this time that the big black stone in the island owner's mouth must be a meteorite that fell from the sky. During the high-speed fall, the meteorite burned with the friction of the air, so the ancient elephant city's Only then did people see a ball of flame flying across the sky and falling into the Snowy Mountains. It was an extremely cold place and the flames of the meteorite would naturally be extinguished.
In other words, these people later became great masters, and even had the ability to remain young and immortal, all because of that extraterrestrial meteorite
"At that time, no one knew what that stone would bring." Jizo said slowly: "When changes happened later, it was already too late."
