"Tianliang Zushan, what exactly is it?"
The scene here was already full of sacred and mysterious feeling, coupled with Li Xixing's expression and tone at this time, made Hu Jingjing tremble even more.
Li Xixing's brows were deeply frowned, it was the first time that this young man who was abandoned by the whole family and Changling to join the army in the wasteland because of the trade-off between the powerful and powerful showed a hesitant look for the first time.
It wasn't until Hu Jingjing became restless on his back that he took a deep breath and said, "Long before Wushi, Donghu, and Yueshi, there was a legendary unified empire in the wilderness and desert outside this pass. It's called Tianliang."
Any huge empire, like the Dayou Dynasty back then, will have an astonishing height, especially the combined territory of the kingdoms of Wuzhi, Donghu, and Yuezhi may actually be larger than the combined territories of several dynasties.
So just such a sentence immediately plunged Hu Jingjing into a stronger shock.
"According to the legend, Tianliang was destroyed by an unprecedented plague. In order to prevent the plague from spreading to other remote tribes, the lucky people who were not infected locked all the infected people in the ancestral land where Tianliang originated. "
Li Xixing had an unspeakable meaning on his face, and then slowly said: "The legendary ancestral land where the coolness of the sky originated is located under the sky. The next wooden stick will sprout in the coming year. But the suppression and blockade of millions of infected Chinese people in this ancestral land, those surviving Tianliang people do not know what price they have paid. Some tribes far away have lost their lives. Knowing Tianliang's own choices and acts of righteousness, he also rushed to join the battle. According to the legend, this place was ultimately worse than the Shura Field. All buildings and even the mountains inside were razed to the ground, leaving only one of the ancestral mountains. The surviving Although the vast majority of Tianliang people guarded this place and did not let people infected with the terrible plague escape here, these Tianliang people who had to kill a large number of their own people also chose to commit suicide in that ancestral mountain. So that ancestral mountain is also called the mountain of salvation."
Hu Jingjing couldn't imagine such a cruel legend, especially the number of millions, which made her mind go blank.
"Those Tianliang people who finally committed suicide in the ancestral mountain thought that their hands were stained with sin, and finally committed suicide as self-salvation. However, all the surviving tribes in the territory of this empire at that time did not just respect these Tianliang people at the beginning. And respect them as gods."
"Those surviving tribes regard this place as their ancestral land, as the shelter of their gods, and no one can enter."
After Li Xixing paused, his body trembled slightly as if he was afraid of the cold, "I've heard such legends, but I didn't expect such a place to exist."
"If we were driven here to lure your friend Ding Ning, then what's in it?"
Hu Jingjing murmured.
Her words were not a problem at all, she just wanted to ease her fluctuating emotions, because it was impossible for Li Xixing to know what existed in the legendary Tianliang Ancestral Land in front of her.
"what should we do?"
So she next asked a real question.
Since she finally understood the other party's true intentions until here, she and Li Xixing can naturally choose to enter or not to enter this ancestral land.
Li Xixing glanced at the sky behind him.
At this time, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the eagles that had been tailing him could be vaguely seen as a black spot in the distant sky.
The hesitant expression on his face quickly dissipated, and he said very simply: "Let's go in."
Then he started to move directly, walking down.
"Why?" Hu Jingjing couldn't understand Li Xixing's emotions at this time.
"I don't believe in myself."
Li Xixing replied: "I believe in him... If he really came because of me, I think he will have a way."
"No wonder even Jing Liuli is with him." Hu Jingjing paused for a while, and said, "Even if you say that about him, he must be more powerful than I imagined."
Li Xixing didn't answer her again.
The withered yellow grass on the hillside is denser, taller and thicker than the long grass on the grassland outside, and the slope of the hillside is very steep, making it very difficult to walk down.
The most important thing is that the ground under the withered yellow grass is off-white. When you step on it, there will be many small crackling sounds, and a lot of white dust will be splashed out.
"These are all..." Hu Jingjing instantly saw what these off-white fragments were, and his body trembled uncontrollably again.
Li Xixing silently looked at the thick gray and white fragments that densely covered every inch of the ground, with sweat dripping from his palms, he began to believe that the legend back then was true.
The off-white fragments are all bone fragments that appear to be very pure after being exposed to the sun, rain and weathering for many years.
These skeletal fragments were piled thickly on the ground, even if his feet were submerged in it, it was impossible to detect the dirt floor below.
The closer to the top, the thicker the bone fragments piled up, even undulating like waves. Obviously, the closer to the top, the closer to the place where they rushed out, the fiercer the battle, and the more people who were killed here. many.
The edge of such a huge basin is full of corpses. How many millions of Tianliang people died in this ancestral land
Thinking about the horror of the plague that made countless powerhouses of such a large and powerful empire helpless, most of these bones were the people of Tianliang who were infected back then, and the dust produced by stepping on them was enough to make one's heart palpitate .
However, the brilliance contained in this kind of killing actually makes these broken bones exude a sacred flavor.
At least the two of them can clearly perceive that the vitality of heaven and earth inside is indeed purer than that outside, and some spiritual energy that is beneficial to practitioners' cultivation is mixed in the breeze, like a holy soul, in the withered yellow Through the blades of grass.
The hillside gradually flattens.
The yellow grass is fading away.
The white bones covering the ground were finally no longer so thick.
The scenery in front of them turned into a plain in spring.
Li Xixing stopped.
He rubbed his legs, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky behind him.
The black hawks flew faster as he expected, and not only could he still see them, but he could clearly see the outlines of those hawks that were just a tiny black spot in the sky before.
His legs were sore and swollen to the extreme. In his feeling, all the muscles in his legs were like small knives cutting and scratching the bones of his legs. However, he didn't stop to rest, Instead, he moved as fast as possible towards the lonely Ancestral Mountain standing in front of him.
The enemy should arrive soon, but there is still a time lag.
All the breezes seem to flow down from the ancestral mountain, and even the source of a river flowing in this plain seems to come from that lonely rocky mountain.
The most shocking thing is that the closer you get to Zushan Mountain, the closer the color of the river becomes to pure milky white, and the white air emanating from the river surface is no longer water mist, but pure heaven and earth aura!
