"Kill the Lord of Heavenly Dao, he is not human!"
Hearing these words echoing in the room, Ren Baqian's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Zongshang, only to see his serious face, his eyes full of sternness. The originally gentle and benevolent face now has a bit of fortitude.
"How do you know?" Ren Baqian asked in a deep voice.
At the beginning, I thought about whether there would be aliens in the Temple of Heaven, but I just thought about it in my head. I didn't expect there to be, and I didn't expect someone in the Temple of Heaven to know.
The seriousness on Zongshang's face eased slightly, he got up and walked to Ren Baqian's side, moved on the shelves, one shelf slipped to the side silently, revealing a tunnel.
"Please follow me."
Zongshang got up and walked down after speaking, took a piece of flint from the wall next to him, lit the torch, and the tunnel was immediately lit up.
The two walked all the way, and finally came to a secret room.
"You're not too guarded!" Ren Baqian said lightly.
It's about the Lord of the Heavenly Dao, it's about the aliens, and it's in such a simple secret room? If other people broke in by mistake, this case would be turned into ashes now.
"It looks simple, but it actually requires a special finger force. With a special force to strike dozens of times in an instant, no one can enter except me. Unless this mansion is razed to the ground, but at that time our branch may also be extinct." It's okay, even if someone finds out, it's no big deal." Zongshang explained while leading the way.
Only then did Ren Baqian understand.
"Your one?" Ren Baqian asked again.
"When the Temple of Heaven was founded, there were a total of forty-two ancestors, and thirty-one of them were passed down. And these thirty-one became nineteen over time."
"Exactly eight principal and deputy lords, two deputy lords, and one lord." Ren Baqian calculated, and the number was just right.
"Where there are people, there will be disputes!" Zongshang sighed.
Ren Baqian immediately knew how this number came about.
"However, about half of them died without knowing why!" Zongshang said again, and while speaking, he lit a few oil lamps hanging on the wall in the secret room, and everything in the room was revealed immediately.
There is nothing in the space, not even the simplest stool.
Instead, the walls are covered with paintings.
Look carefully, it is a woman.
Surprisingly, one of the portraits on the wall is a young woman, the other is an old woman, the next is another young woman, and the other is an old woman, and so on.
"This is the first Lord of the Palace of You Jing, after she gets old." Zong Shang pointed to two of the pictures.
"This is the second Lord of the Nether Essence Palace, and after getting old."
Standing in front of the wall, Ren Baqian looked over one by one, and suddenly let out a surprise.
"This is the non-poison hall master, and it should be the third in the line of hall masters."
"This is the deputy palace master of Youjing, the fourth term."
"This is the vice-master of the Temple of Heaven, the fifth..."
Zongshang introduced the past one by one.
If you only look at the pictures when you were young, you can't see anything. They have different appearances, different temperaments, and different beauty and ugliness.
But if you look at the portraits in old age, you can see that everyone's face is somewhat alike.
No matter what kind of face they had when they were young, whether they were magnificent or ugly, they looked quite similar when they were old.
Even exactly the same!
For example, the first Master of Youjing Hall, the fourth Deputy Lord of Youjing Hall, the seventh Lord of Heavenly Dao Hall, and the fourteenth Lord of Sparrow Yin Hall.
For example, the second Master of the Nether Essence Hall, the eleventh Lord of the Swallowing Thieves Hall, and the fourteenth Deputy Hall Master of the Heavenly Dao Hall... were almost carved out of the same mold.
But when they were young, these people had almond eyes, phoenix eyes, oval faces, oval faces, and round faces...
But after getting old, it turned out to be like a mold carved out.
In addition, the appearance of each hall master is quite similar, especially those eyes, which seem to have a kind of
"Due to their cultivation methods, their lifespan is longer than that of ordinary fighters, so few people can notice the changes in their appearance."
Ren Baqian was a little strange: "Why did you draw every one of their hall masters?"
"Because every term is a woman!"
Hearing this answer, Ren Baqian felt that Zongshang's lineage was actually quite sympathetic.
"Because the previous two masters of Youjing Palace were very popular, someone naturally kept the portraits. However, some problems were discovered later. They are too similar when they are old." Zongshang said afterwards.
Ren Baqian always felt that there should be more than just two terms.
Just two terms doesn't mean much...
Zongshang definitely wasn't telling the truth.
But this has nothing to do with me, I have no interest in the black history of Zongshang and their ancestors.
I'm really not interested.
What's wrong with being a man, being a bit more obscene and perverted
"At first we thought they were the reason for the practice, but it wasn't. It's not surprising that they are always secretly looking for a successor, and we are the same. But their approach seems to be a little different.
In a short period of time, the strength of those successors will increase greatly, while the original hall master will die.
Those replacements will come in for a short period of time and are familiar with many things, so we are aware of the problem. "
"Actually, a thousand years after coming to this land, the human race had a revival. At that time, there were many outstanding people. There were eleven people in the whole world who reached the Kaitian region, and thousands of people who were masters of the divine wheel.
At that time, some people suggested that they wanted to return to their homeland, and even many people in Tiandao Temple thought so.
Because the reproductive ability of foreign races is far inferior to ours, and their recovery ability is not as good as ours. At that time, a large area was empty. As long as you find a place to shelter, as long as you persist for more than ten years, it is possible to regain your foothold and return to Shifang place.
However, this idea was interrupted later, and it became to kill those outstanding people who wanted to leave.
And it was they who caused all this. "
Since then, our department has been keeping an eye on them and eventually discovered the truth. In fact, not only us, but others also discovered it, but they all died of various reasons later, only we have continued until now. "Zongshang explained it concisely.
"Why didn't you say it out? Your whole Heavenly Dao Palace is not her opponent alone?" Ren Baqian asked back.
"She is not alone." Zong Shang said. "Back then, someone broke the news in a meeting that half of them attended. As a result, five branches completely fell to her and survived. In addition, the palace masters of eleven branches died, and there were no successors among them. The four branches were completely cut off."
After hearing this, Ren Baqian sneered, and there were actually people who turned to other races.
When Zongshang mentioned this matter, his face was also a little ashamed.
"What happened at that time, no one knows. But one thing is certain, their strength is stronger than it looks on the surface, and may even exceed all of us combined, so that the eleven hall masters will die. The five branch palace masters had to fall to her."
"After that, my team didn't dare to act rashly, because we should be the only ones who have grasped the real situation." Zongshang sighed. "If we are also cut off, then the Temple of Heaven will really become a lackey of a foreign race."
"At first, I thought I had no chance in this generation, but I didn't expect to meet visitors from another human race. I think the opportunity I've been waiting for has finally arrived. From the stories you told, you should have very powerful weapons , enough to fight against her." Zong Shang said.
"Wu Wuming surpassed Shenlun, right? She's not her match either?" Ren Baqian asked suddenly.
"To reach the Kaitian region, there are still one or two people in each generation who can do it, and there were masters who were not weaker than Wu Wuming back then." Zong Shang said.
Ren Baqian raised his eyebrows, originally he wanted to blow up this place directly, but with such a sect popping up, it was a bit difficult to handle.
I do have powerful weapons, but great power also has a wide range.
At that time, except for myself leaving early, it is impossible for others to leave, otherwise the other party will also notice something strange.
As for whether Zongshang's words were true or false, Ren Baqian did not have much doubt.
Because the old woman's reaction at that time already made him feel strange.
If the other party is a foreign race, it makes sense.
