"It's okay. I just think the painting on the wall is more like an omen, and it's not a good omen."
Ji Yuan came back to his senses, withdrew his hand and said this to Xuan Jizi and others, and they all sighed.
"Just as Mr. Ji said, we think so too. All living beings are integrated into the heaven and earth, and their auras are too deeply entangled. This is a calamity for both all living beings and the heaven and earth."
When Xuanjizi said this, his aura was turbulent, but he was still able to suppress it. This was all thanks to the Tianji Palace and the Tianji Wheel that he controlled, and also because almost everyone present felt it and knew about it.
While Ji Yuan and Xuan Jizi were talking, the other three long-bearded old men, who were relatively unfamiliar to Ji Yuan, were staring at the mural.
"Master Master, Mr. Ji, do you think the color of this mural seems a little wrong?"
"Yes, although this color is entangled with energy, it seems to be a little darker."
Ji Yuan turned his head in some surprise. This Tianji Hall itself is an extraordinary treasure room, and the murals were not painted on, so how could he understand why the color is dark
The old man with the long beard had already followed Ji Yuan's example and stretched out his hand to touch the mural. Immediately, the mural began to become cloudy where his hand touched.
The other long-bearded old man also reached out his hands to other places, and those places also began to become turbid, just like reaching out to stir up the mud under a pond.
Ji Yuan watched with a frown and whispered to Xuan Jizi and Lian Baiping.
"Who are these three fellow Taoists?"
They arrived in a hurry just now, and these three people were guarding the inside of the Tianji Hall. When they saw the murals as soon as they came in, Xuanjizi had not introduced the three people yet. Anyway, Ji Yuan had not seen these three long-bearded old men last time.
Xuanjizi replied via telepathy.
"Mr. Ji, these three are the three elders of the Lao family. They were still recovering from their injuries when you came last time. After hearing that the Tianji Palace had opened up the secrets of the Heavenly Secrets, the three of them could no longer hold back. They came out of retreat before their injuries were healed and have been guarding the Tianji Palace ever since. In terms of their grasp of the secrets of the Heavenly Secrets, they are definitely outstanding in the Tianji Pavilion."
Lian Baiping also added a sentence in a whisper from the side.
"Mr. Ji, the reason why the Third Elder was injured was because he was comprehending a Taoist fossil several decades ago. He felt that there was a change in the fate of the Great Zhen direction, so he forced himself to calculate the secrets of heaven..."
Ji Yuan suddenly realized that it was these three people. The emotional pain in the past few decades has never healed, so Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask more questions.
"What are the names of the three Lao elders? Or do they have any Dharma names or Taoist names?"
Some monks are given names, some monks are faithful to one man until death, so these three cannot all be called Sanweng, right
Lian Baiping rarely grinned in such an atmosphere today.
"The three of them are all seniors in the pavilion. They are named Lao Da, Lao Er, and Lao San according to the length of their beards. They are called these names among ordinary people and have never changed them. They are brothers from the same mother."
What a wonderful name!
The gloom in Ji Yuan's heart was lessened a little, and his eyes remained focused, watching what the three elders of the Lao family were tinkering with.
"Brother, the old rules!" "Okay!"
The three people's arms were like fishing in a pond, each searching in a corner of the mural, and then two to the left, one flew up, and almost at the same time, a colorful stone that looked a bit like a triangle flew out of the sleeves of the three people.
"Mr. Ji, this is the Taoist fossil of the three Lao elders. It was originally a whole piece, but it exploded decades ago..."
"Please ask the Master to bring the Wheel of Heavenly Secrets!"
Lao Dafei said something to Xuanjizi in the air. After the latter nodded, he made some gestures and recited some words. Soon, a golden light flew in from outside the hall and fell into the hall.
"Two, three, overlap the fossils!"
The other two did not answer anything, but the three of them were in sync and shot out the Dao fossils at the same time. The Tianji Wheel had flown in front of the mural and began to rotate continuously. The Dao fossils also began to rotate with the Tianji Wheel, and finally merged into one in the golden light, becoming a round colorful stone.
The three of them seemed to have grasped something strange underwater, and the light of the fossil spread out and covered the entire huge mural.
"rise-"
As the words rang out in unison, the three of them retreated at a constant speed, and the entire mural with a tangled aura seemed to be slowly peeled off the wall by the three of them.
Ji Yuan, Xuan Jizi and Lian Baiping all stared at the changes before their eyes. Ji Yuan's expression changed from surprise to solemnity, while Xuan Jizi and Lian Baiping were astonished.
Ghosting? No!
"A second painting? A painting within a painting?"
Lian Baiping couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
"No, this is a painting!"
Ji Yuan's voice was calm, but he was definitely quite shaken in his heart. However, it was much better than the five cultivators from Tianji Pavilion present. After all, he had vaguely guessed it before.
"The same painting..."
Xuanjizi, Lian Baiping, and even the three Lao elders who were casting spells with Taoist fossils were looking at every corner of the Tianji Hall with their eyes wide open. Not only the murals where they were, but the entire huge Tianji Hall, from the walls to the pillars, were separating.
Beneath the surface layer of energy and color, there is a dark and turbid area at the back. Although it also has color, it seems to be always gray and is always ravaged by strong winds.
Originally, many parts of the murals in the Tianji Hall were blurred, and many people always felt that the paintings were incomplete. Ji Yuan and others thought that there were too many Tianjis and it was impossible for everything to be revealed. This understanding was correct, but it was obviously not enough. At this moment, as the original layer of color was peeled off, the incomplete areas at the back began to become clear. Some of them were directly displayed in the once blurred positions, and some were sandwiched under the outer layer of color.
Ji Yuan had a feeling that this time, the mural was complete.
“Roar—” “Woo…” “Cry—”
“Woo… Woo…”
All kinds of strange noises appeared in the Tianji Hall, and in the newly emerged murals, the storm in the murals was also constantly stirred.
The three elders of the Lao family slowly retreated, leaving only the Taoist fossil and the Tianji Wheel slowly rotating in the center of the hall. They looked at various places in the Tianji Hall together with Ji Yuan and others.
"Before the ancient times, the world was even more vast than it is today. The last time the Heavenly Secret Palace opened, we saw the chaos of the ancient times. This is probably the lost land of the ancient times."
Ji Yuan said this, his eyes wandering around the murals, thinking about the other chess player. Since he had awakened from his deep sleep, was his true body also in the mural? He didn't know if the Fusang in the sea he had seen before was some kind of boundary, and one of the two golden crows might be flying over the lost land, and perhaps the sun there was "touchable".
“It didn’t collapse and disappear?”
Lian Baiping's words brought Ji Yuan's thoughts back to the present, and he looked at Lian Baiping who was speaking.
"At least not all of them collapsed. I'm afraid even those ancient species were not completely destroyed."
Xuanjizi on the side frowned and stroked his beard, saying lightly.
"But if you are abandoned by heaven and earth, there will be no good for you!"
Lao Dazai also spoke up.
"Being trapped in the world, barely surviving, one must be unwilling to give up!"
Lao Er continued, taking over what his elder brother said.
"If you are unwilling to give in, you will wait for an opportunity to act."
And Lao San also said at this moment.
"I have been waiting for an opportunity to act until today. If I feel the changes in the world, I will not be able to hold back!"
As soon as Lao San finished speaking, a loud roar was heard.
“Woohoo—”
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The sound came from outside the Tianji Palace. Ji Yuan and others subconsciously turned around and looked outside. They could feel that the source of the sound was extremely far away.
"Have the fellow Taoists from Weimei Sect left?"
The first thing Ji Yuan thought of was the Sky-Swallowing Beast "Mistress".
"They haven't left yet. The Sky Devouring Beast seems to be in great pain and is also very irritable recently. A number of highly accomplished Taoist friends have also come to the Weimei Sect. Do you want to go and take a look, Mr. Ji?"
"Forget it. The Sky Devouring Beast is a secret to the Weimei Sect. I will not touch upon it at this time. I am ready to leave now. Fellow Daoist Xuanjizi, what are the plans of the Tianji Pavilion?"
Xuanjizi looked at his fellow disciples around him, then said to Ji Yuan.
"We are going to issue a formal warning to the righteous people in the world in the name of Tianji Pavilion, telling them... telling them that the world is about to enter a new era, good or bad luck is hard to predict, there may be great chaos and changes, or there may be great fortune and opportunities. We hope that more of them can enter the world."
Ji Yuan nodded.
"Then what do you think the result will be, Fellow Daoist Xuanjizi?"
"The result may not change much."
Xuanjizi smiled helplessly and directly expressed his thoughts, which was also the biggest possibility. Every path has its masters, and every sect has its ancestors. They will always have a feeling. The move by Tianji Pavilion will definitely arouse something, but there is a saying that the secrets of heaven cannot be leaked, so it is impossible to tell the whole story. Besides arousing speculation, the result brought about by the direction of things may not be much different from saying nothing, but at least it makes people keep an eye on it.
"It's easy to know the will of heaven, but it's hard to go against it. Just do your best! I'm leaving now!"
Ji Yuan said goodbye and was about to leave, but Lian Baiping at the side quickly spoke up.
"I'll take you there, Mr. Ji!"
After saying that, Lian Baiping and Ji Yuan bowed to Xuanjizi and the others, then flew away on a cloud.
"Master, elder brother and second brother, the overlapping murals, in addition to the hidden meaning of heaven and earth and the turmoil of ancient alien species, can it also be a metaphor that the lost land of heaven and earth may be connected to this world again?"
Lao San suddenly said this, causing Xuanjizi, Lao Da and Lao Er to look at him.
"Hiss..."
Xuanjizi's eyes flashed, and he looked towards the Tianji Palace together with the three elders of the Lao family. The fate of that lost land was like a dead zone. If it was really connected to heaven and earth and the endless hostility and resentment in it were allowed to rush out, it would not make the heaven and earth perfect, but might lead to the tearing of heaven and earth.
If so, how can we stop it? If so, what can stop it
In fact, it was not only Lao San who saw this. Ji Yuan had already made some associations just now. He had even thought of how to deal with it in that unexpected situation. Someone had been guarding a continuously growing barrier for thousands of years.
