stars!
Cities in this era do not have as much light pollution as in modern times. Therefore, the night sky is extraordinarily clear and bright, and above the pavilions on Dongshan Mountain, it is the place closest to the starry sky.
The stars all over the sky are like a quilt studded with diamonds, but at this moment, in the field of vision of the young monk, in the depths of the Milky Way above his head, a strange light suddenly lit up.
The light was deep red, falling rapidly, like a meteor with tail flame.
However, it was far bigger than any meteor he had ever seen in his life... big... still zooming...
enlarge!
The young monk shrank his pupils, looked at the crimson star that was getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision, and the direction in which it fell, suddenly realized something in his heart, and endless fear arose in his heart.
That star is clearly coming here!
He wanted to say something, but couldn't make a sound, only felt his throat was dry and hoarse.
In his ears, there was only a whistling roar, and then, he saw the star falling in the royal garden near Dongshan.
The earth trembled slightly, as if there was a fire.
On the left and right sides of the Dongshan Tower, figures floated in the brightly lit palace, and everyone was awakened by the roar.
"Master..." The young monk was stunned for a moment, the flying soul finally returned to his body, and he hurriedly turned his head to look.
But I saw that on the platform of the pavilion next to him, where is the figure of Wang Xundao
…
To the west of Dongshan, the inner hall of the Imperial Palace in the capital.
In the imperial study room, the lights illuminated the palace like daytime, but the emperor of the Sheng Kingdom sitting in it was restless.
The news of the battle in the sunny day was sealed by him, and it has not been released in a short time.
However, the appearance of a completely unfamiliar first-rank realm... or even a powerhouse of a higher realm is enough to make the emperor restless and feel like a light on his back.
After returning from Dadongshan, he had already ordered the various ministries in the capital to secretly search for the other party's traces, but he also had no hope for this.
Especially thinking of Wang Xundao's guess...
The emperor of the Sheng Kingdom put down the memorial, sighed deeply, and casually picked up the teacup next to him, only to find that it was empty, and even the exquisite teapot beside him had been drained:
"Come here, give... ah!"
As soon as he uttered a sentence, he only felt the ground under his feet vibrate slightly, but it was not very strong.
"Could it be an earthquake?"
As soon as this idea came up, I heard hurried footsteps outside the window, as if someone was rushing: "Your Majesty!"
"Come on, what is the source of the shock just now? So flustered?" The emperor of Shengguo pretended to be calm and asked.
Immediately, the head of the imperial guard who pushed open the door looked uneasy:
"Your Majesty, just now... just now... a crimson star fell in the direction of Dongshan Mountain! And it was accompanied by strong vitality fluctuations!"
"What?" The emperor of the Sheng Kingdom stood up suddenly, his expression moved, he walked out of the room a few steps, and when he looked up, he saw a light red reflection in the night sky towards Dongshan.
Thinking of the words that the mysterious man left before he left on a sunny day, he took a deep breath and hurriedly said:
"Order Qin Tianjian to investigate immediately!"
"yes!"
…
…
At the same time, the earthquake felt on the ground also attracted the attention of the entire capital.
Countless people stopped on the street, and many people in the houses hurried out of the outdoors. Then, they saw the direction of Dongshan, and the sky reflected in it was light red.
"what happened?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
"No, someone just witnessed the falling of stars."
There were many discussions in the whole capital city.
There are many cultivators in the capital, apart from the elite of the Qin Tianjian, the number of ordinary people who practice martial arts on their own is also huge.
Not to mention, because the martial arts exam was approaching, many candidates came from all over the country.
At this moment, compared to ordinary people, these monks can sense the violent fluctuation of vitality coming from the direction of Dongshan.
"How can ordinary meteors be like this?"
"Could it be a treasure of heaven and earth?"
In the inns on several streets near Qin Tianjian, all the windows were opened, and the young candidates looked to the east suspiciously.
"Look! It's people from Qin Tianjian! Are they going out of the city?" Suddenly, some examinees noticed a group of galloping horses heading straight from Qin Tianjian towards the east gate.
People on horseback are all dressed in uniform short robes.
Seeing this scene, these examinees couldn't sit still any longer, and when someone went downstairs, they led their horses and chased after them.
The Sheng Kingdom Dynasty had a curfew earlier, but since a hundred years ago, except for the area around the imperial city, other places are no longer prohibited. Therefore, every night, this bustling capital city is very lively.
The lights are continuous.
The east and west city gates are not closed, and the individual fireworks and willow alleys are sleepless all night, and the lights are lit from nightfall to dawn.
People in Beijing like to watch the excitement.
At this time, it was not long before night fell, and most of them hadn't fallen asleep yet. When someone took the lead, no one could sit still.
Candidates from several long streets joined together, prepared their horses, and ran towards Dongshan, which attracted many local people, and merchants from other places also rushed out of the city curiously, which was magnificent and magnificent.
Dongshan is not far from the city gate, and the official road is flat. If you ride a horse or drive, you can get there in more than ten minutes.
Even if you only rely on your legs to run, relying on the physical strength and speed of monks surpassing ordinary people, you don't have to rush, and you can get there in more than half an hour slower.
And as a large group of monks left the city and approached the place where the meteor fell along the official road, everyone showed expressions of astonishment and shock.
I saw, in the west of Dongshan, in the empty garden.
The vegetation collapsed, the soil rolled up, and a strange "mountain" stood firmly in the night.
The whole body of the mountain was black and red, emitting a strange light, which was not dazzling, but illuminated the entire sky.
"Idlers can't wait near!"
There are few people around the garden, but the monk Qin Tianjian who arrived first has already stepped in, and left behind to set up Luka, but the mountain is too big and too strange.
It can be seen even from a distance.
And the unceasingly swaying vitality fluctuations made everyone extremely puzzled.
"What the hell is that?"
"Why did the fall of such a large rock cause only a slight shock?"
"Phenomenon of heaven and earth, abnormal movement of vitality..." Among the crowd, a candidate looked dazed, and suddenly said, "Could it be the continuation of the transmission of the Dharma six hundred years ago?"
For this kind of celestial phenomenon, it is normal for people to think of the mysterious night hundreds of years ago in the legend.
"Why do you say that?" Suddenly, the examinee heard someone asking behind him, turned his head, and saw a monk of a similar age standing behind him:
Wearing a blue-and-white friar's blouse, with short hair, he doesn't look like a local, but has an outstanding temperament. At this moment, he looks calm and indifferent, which is different from the crowd around him.
It was Lin Tuo who had changed into a local costume.
"Naturally...naturally because..." For some reason, facing the smiling Lin Tuo, the examinee became nervous and speechless.
"Because of similar things, there are only two times in history."
Suddenly, a candidate in his twenties, wearing a luxurious robe, came over and said.
After a pause, the man looked at Lin Tuo, who was in green shirt and short hair, with a strange expression in his eyes, and cupped his hands and said:
"Brother is also a student of this martial arts exam?"
Lin Tuo looked at the candidate dressed as a rich man with some curiosity, felt the spirit in the opponent's eyes, and guessed that his martial arts level should not be low.
At least in terms of temperament, he overwhelmed most of the candidates around him.
The reason why he talked to himself was probably because of Lin Tuo's indistinctly aggressive spirit... Without the cover of the cloak, this is especially obvious among the monks...
Seeing Lin Tuo looking at himself, the man smiled and introduced himself:
"Lu Tang, from Xingming County, this year's candidate."
Hearing this name, in the darkness, there were eyes from all around. It seemed that this name was quite famous among candidates.
In fact it is true.
Although the exam has not yet started, many candidates have already known some of the candidates who are the favorites to win the championship. Lu Tang is one of them. He comes from a family of demon slayers. He already has a fifth-rank cultivation at a young age.
Naturally, Lin Tuo didn't understand this, or even if he knew, he wouldn't have any extra reaction. He only felt it was interesting when he heard the words, and said casually, "Lin Tuo."
Immediately smiled and said: "So, because of this, you guess that this mountain is related to that night for hundreds of years?"
"Isn't that enough?" Lu Tang said seriously, "Six hundred years ago, human beings understood the method of cultivation overnight, and no one knew why.
The only thing that has been handed down is the few words left by Wang Tiefu back then...
In the past six hundred years, there has been no vision of heaven and earth, until today..."
After a pause, he looked towards the strange mountain in the garden ahead, feeling the invisible vitality fluctuations around him, his eyes were excited and excited:
"I don't know if this is a continuation of the vision from that year, but since it came from the starry sky, it must indicate something."
Six hundred years ago, human beings realized the Dao overnight, and the demon slayer rose up, ushering in a great era.
Six hundred years later, the eastern outskirts of the capital descended from the sky on the sacred mountain. What does it mean
How can this not make people think
Just as he was talking, someone suddenly pointed forward and exclaimed in surprise:
"Look! Someone is standing on the top of the mountain!"
Everyone hurriedly looked around, and suddenly saw a tall, thin figure standing on the sacred mountain, which seemed unreal in the shining light.
But for many monks, just relying on one figure is enough.
"It's Grandmaster Wang!"
"The only one in the world today!"
"He really came. I heard that Grandmaster Wang is living in seclusion in Dongshan, so he should have arrived earlier than us."
In the darkness, a large group of examinees huddled in front of the barricade started talking loudly.
Even Lu Tang's eyes showed strong anticipation.
If it is said that this sacred stone, which is as big as a mountain peak, really contains the mystery that originated from the heaven and Haotian.
So, in today's world, the most promising solution is none other than Wang Xundao.
Among the crowd, Lin Tuo also looked at the figure "on the mountain" with great interest.
I wonder how you will untie it.
That's right, the photography technique sealed inside the stone is not difficult to understand, the simplest one just needs to inject ether into it to activate it.
The only problem is that because of the sand table mechanism, this stone is a bit too huge.
This is also one of the reasons why he came to watch the excitement. If no one can really inspire, then he can only do it himself in the end.
But in that case...
"It's really disappointing."
Lin Tuo thought in his heart, standing calmly in the crowd, hiding himself, looking at Wang Xundao with a few traces of hope in his eyes.
In the next second, in the pale red light and shadow, Wang Xundao seemed to have finally made up his mind, mobilized the vitality of his whole body, and stomped heavily!
"Crack!"
There was a loud noise, as if something was broken.
At the same time, no one noticed that in the darkness, the corners of Lin Tuo's mouth curled up slightly.
People only saw that with this step like a mountain cracking rocks, the surrounding vitality was shaken, and the whole divine peak suddenly brightened.
Countless pale golden symbols emerged from the black-red surface.
Immediately, it spewed out towards the night sky!
That is countless rays of light.
