Hearing this, Zhao Jiuge frowned and asked in surprise, "Have you been to this world before?"
Compared with the damaged 'Pixiu Immortal Jade', 'Zhi Ge' has always been intact. However, when Fairy Luoyun was going through the tribulation, she directly forcibly terminated the connection with it, so it was erased. With all the marks, Zhao Jiuge could easily refine 'Zhi Ge'.
The chubby Qi Ling had a pained expression on his face and seemed unwilling to think about those things. Upon seeing this, Zhao Jiuge did not continue to ask.
The surrounding environment makes people feel sad. There are dilapidated buildings everywhere, endless desolation, and no greenery at all.
Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing slowed down as they went deeper. No one knew whether there would be changes or accidents that they were not aware of in this strange environment.
Because of their strength, the two of them have left most people far behind. After all, those without strength will not have the courage to go deep to seek death. Those with courage may also be troubled by some monks if they do not have strength.
Along the way, you can see the pure energy and blood floating in the void everywhere. However, Bai Qingqing and Zhao Jiuge are both far-sighted people, so except for being curious for a while at the beginning, they did not pay attention. After all, when they got to the place, I am afraid they will benefit from it. It will be much bigger than here.
As we walked further inside, the ancient buildings began to get a little denser. At this moment, Zhao Jiuge, who was originally calm, suddenly changed.
In the spiritual sea within his body, the ancient picture scroll snatched from outside the Blue Stone City began to shake slightly. This movement made Zhao Jiuge suddenly surprised, and he didn't know what was going on for a while.
At first, the movement was relatively slight, but as time went by, the shaking began to become violent. Because now the magic weapon has recognized its owner and is connected by blood, Zhao Jiuge can feel the scroll and the kind of movement it shows. The emotion of longing.
It was the first time that Zhao Jiuge encountered this situation, so he did not act rashly, but the movement of the scroll became more and more urgent, as if he could not wait. Zhao Jiuge observed it, and then seemed to understand something, and looked around , I saw a stone tower in a grotto not far away, and there seemed to be something in this stone tower that attracted the painting.
Zhao Jiuge immediately told Bai Qingqing about the current situation. Bai Qingqing asked to go there in person if there was any situation. So the two of them were wary and told them in that direction. The closer they got to the huge stone tower, the scroll in the spiritual sea inside their bodies The fluctuations became even greater, and even started to cheer. Zhao Jiuge had already guessed something in his heart. The stone tower inside should have some connection with this ancient painting.
Standing in front of the stone tower, Zhao Jiuge looked up at this huge stone tower. The gray stone tower looked a bit spectacular, with a total of seven floors. It looked simple but did not lose its momentum.
The red door on the first floor is also half-covered. It is obvious that many people have paid attention to it, but since it can cause fluctuations in the spiritual sea scroll in the body, then this stone tower must have its own uniqueness.
Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing looked at each other and stepped forward slowly. Zhao Jiuge took the lead and pushed open the two half-covered red doors. A low voice came from the crack in the door, as if telling the history and experience inside. It seems like thousands of years have passed.
The environment in the stone tower is a bit dark, but fortunately it is broad daylight, and through the stone tower, a lot of light can still penetrate it.
The space on the first floor is a bit big, not as it looks from the outside. Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing hold flying swords in their hands and concentrate on dealing with sudden changes at any time.
The picture scroll in the spiritual sea within the body did not relax because Zhao Jiuge had arrived in the stone tower. Instead, it trembled even more violently, almost as if it was about to come out.
The more this happened, the more Zhao Jiuge became puzzled and did not dare to act rashly. He suppressed the paintings in his body. Soon, Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing's eyes were attracted by the paintings around the stone tower, and they slowly came to the wall, because Except for the thick layer of dust, there is nothing else in the entire stone tower, which shows the age of this place. Only the exquisite and lifelike murals on the walls are left.
The stone tower is surrounded by colorful murals. Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing stood by the wall, staring at the content of the murals.
On the vivid picture, a group of military monks were practicing. Everyone was wearing armor, holding their own magic weapons, swords, etc., and they were releasing magic skills.
Because the mural is lifelike, the scene on it is also relatively realistic, and what is recorded on it is that of a certain military sect, the elders are teaching the disciples to practice and practice on the battlefield.
Even though Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing were just outside the painting, their minds seemed to be somewhat attracted, as if they were immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.
Little did he know that Zhao Jiuge was really shaken at this moment, as if he could feel the chilling atmosphere, the passionate atmosphere on the battlefield. After all, the art of war was also an important one, but because of the difficulty of training, there is some decline now, you know Many years ago, military strategists were able to overpower the Confucian lineage.
After viewing all the murals on the first floor, Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing still felt a little unfinished, but they still had business to attend to. They looked around again and found that there was nothing else outside the stone tower on the first floor, so Zhao Jiuge He set his sights on the wooden stairs in the corner and decided to go to the second floor to find out.
Zhao Jiuge walked in front, and Bai Qingqing followed behind. When the two entered the stone tower, they swept it with their spiritual consciousness. There was no life breath in the stone tower, but they still had to be careful.
When the two of them stepped on the creaking wooden stairs and arrived at the second floor of the stone tower, when they saw the scene in front of them that was similar to the first floor, they already knew in their hearts that there was no need to think about it. The five floors behind were probably the same. The scene, in the stone tower, is empty, except for the murals on the surrounding walls.
The picture scroll of the spiritual sea in his body is still tossing, but Zhao Jiuge has long ignored it, and instead pondered that since the stone tower is empty, what else can attract the picture scroll in his body.
Soon, Zhao Jiuge discovered something different. The murals on the walls around the second floor were completely different. They were no longer the scenes of the military monks practicing and studying. Instead, when the screen changed, it turned out to be a group of people wearing The disciples of Confucianism in Confucian shirts were sitting there, one by one, reading peacefully. Above the books, there seemed to be a concentration of awe-inspiring righteousness.
Even though he was just standing in front of the wall, when Zhao Jiuge got really close, he seemed to hear the sweet sound of reading. The desk in front of everyone was filled with a dazzling array of books.
In Confucian practice, what you practice is yourself, so that you can control and control Haoran's righteousness, because in Confucianism, Haoran's righteousness is the foundation, and only then can you develop various powerful techniques and methods.
I don’t know who painted this mural. It is said that some talisman masters can use their pens to form powerful talismans in an instant. At least entering this stone tower, Zhao Jiuge has not been very disappointed so far.
Seeing that Zhao Jiuge seemed to be sinking in and completely unable to extricate himself, Bai Qingqing, who was weaker in cultivation, immediately gently tugged on Zhao Jiuge's sleeves, and only then did Zhao Jiuge fully react.
However, the two of them didn't take it too seriously. When they reached the third floor, they realized that something was wrong, because in the stone tower on the third floor, the murals were clearly depicting Taoist practice scenes.
In a Taoist temple in a deep mountain and old forest, there are dozens of figures, including young Taoist boys, holding fly whisks, standing very cutely on both sides of the Taoist temple entrance, looking drowsy.
There was an old Taoist priest, sitting cross-legged on the rock on the top of the mountain, cultivating, eating the wind and drinking the dew. The conditions were difficult, but his eyes that had experienced vicissitudes of life were extremely firm.
There are young Taoist priests or practicing in Taoist temples, practicing swordsmanship, and refining elixirs, and their expressions are vivid.
Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing found that when they looked at these scenes, their minds could sink into them and they could not extricate themselves, as if they were immersed in the scene and could completely integrate themselves into it.
This kind of subtle discovery naturally surprised Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing, but Zhao Jiuge had no intention of stopping just like that, because the scroll of the spiritual sea in his body was still shaking, and the truth of the matter was not clear. For In the scene of the four-story stone tower at the back, Zhao Jiuge was naturally unwilling to give up halfway.
With this discovery, Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing continued to climb the stairs and arrived at the fourth floor. With the intelligence of Bai Qingqing and Zhao Jiuge, they seemed to have figured out that the scene on the fourth floor should be related to Buddhism. After all, these four The great lineages occupy almost half of the world of spiritual practice. Each lineage has its own glorious era.
Sure enough, when Zhao Jiuge and Bai Qingqing stepped onto the fourth floor of the stone tower, a dignified and peaceful atmosphere came to their faces from the murals on the wall.
The surrounding walls are filled with arhats and bodhisattvas, surrounded by golden lotuses. Some of them have Sanskrit sounds coming out, some have lowered eyebrows, some are solemn, and some have angry eyes, but most of them have a peaceful look. By the fourth level, Zhao Jiuge felt that his state of mind seemed to have calmed down, and he was infected by this peaceful atmosphere.
Even Bai Qingqing took off the white veil on her face at this moment, showing a pious look.
Looking at the murals on the fourth floor, both of them could feel the mentality of saving all sentient beings due to the immersive influence.
After staying for a while, the two did not stay any longer, but when they stepped on the wooden stairs going up to the fifth floor, Zhao Jiuge couldn't guess what kind of mural was painted on the fifth floor this time.
When we reached the fifth floor, our doubts were revealed. The murals all around were actually paintings of lifelike monsters and giants. Some were huge golden rocs that covered the sky and the sun, and some were graceful sirens in the sea. What's more, it turned out to be a true spiritual existence, a fire phoenix with strong bloodline.
There are hundreds of monsters in the densely packed figures, some of which Zhao Jiuge has never seen before. After all, some records are not so complete. No one can tell how many species this world has given birth to.
Although each floor of the stone tower is empty, Zhao Jiuge is not disappointed, because the things on this mural are enough to bring him many surprises. He is looking forward to the surprises of the murals on the next two floors. After all, the previous ones are so wonderful, and I believe there will be no surprises in the later ones. Let him down.
