From the point of view of the world of cultivating immortals, there is a mysterious connection between heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, dead things and living things. All things are closely related, and the energy of the five elements travels around the six universes. On the way of practice, the mountain has unique particularities, and the place where the five elements meet is the so-called spiritual point.
Practicing on the spiritual acupoints, the aura is abundant and the result is twice the result with half the effort, so there is the theory of caves. The caves of practitioners are all located on the spiritual acupoints.
But just as spiritual veins are divided into high and low grades, and mountains are divided into poor mountains and beautiful peaks, spiritual acupoints are also divided into good and bad. The peaks of the seven peaks and eight veins of Jiuxuanmen have been modified by countless masters of Jiuxuanmen, and finally combined with the power of heaven and earth, transforming yin and yang, arousing aura, and combining the original natural mountain situation to create a batch of high-quality spiritual acupoints.
And the main spiritual acupoint in the main peak has always been a secret of the sect, let alone the casual disciples who entered it, they don't even know where it is.
Xuanli Peak.
As the branch of the sect that is in charge of law enforcement, the mountains of Xuanli Peak are as sharp as blades, connected by cable bridges, and Lingjian pierces through the sky. At this time, in the depths of the spiritual veins contained in the main peak of Xuanli Peak, in an acupoint where various magic circles are arranged, He Zhou is sitting cross-legged.
This is the main spiritual cave of Xuanli Peak. Deep in the ground of the spiritual vein, it can be regarded as a spacious cave. The rock walls on all sides present a crystal-like color of glass, and there are countless dreamlike fragments of light floating in the cave. On the rock wall, Xu Xu Duoduo, which is now lost, is engraved with ancient characters, as if describing something.
In front of Hezhou, an ancient scroll was spread out.
As if in an instant, the days when He Zhou, as an inner disciple of the sect, led his younger brothers and sisters to enforce the sect's laws, and bickered with Jun Wanbai and others, suddenly became a very, very distant past, appearing childish and naive. The trip to Medicine Valley to participate in the birthday of the owner of Medicine Valley became the introduction of drastic changes.
First, he encountered the fog bird of prey that was extinct in the Wanxian Era, and then there was a change in the Qingming Pagoda in Bingzhou.
After the incident at the Qingming Pagoda in Bingzhou, everything he was familiar with had also changed.
In the ancient battlefield of the Difen War, in the depths of the Prisoner's Desolation Tower, Shen Changge, the chief of the main line he knew, betrayed the sect, and the disciples of the sect who went with him suffered heavy casualties. In the end, he, Jun Wanbai, Li Xin, Qin Jiu and Chu Zhiyuan were the only ones who returned smoothly. The whereabouts of Baili Shu, the elder brother who was the most disliked in the past, is unknown and has not returned to the sect.
After he healed the injury he suffered during the disorderly space transfer, he heard the news of the death of the owner of Medicine Valley.
The news of the death of the owner of the Medicine Valley seems to be an introduction, which kicked off the disturbing prelude. He Zhou hadn't figured out the reason for Bailishu's strange behavior on the way before, so he was taken by his father to the depths of Xuanli Peak, the sect's secret main spiritual acupoint.
Then, for the first time, he knew something.
About Gu Clan's Eighteenth Secret.
In the chaotic era, the ancient emperors ruled the land of the Twelve Dynasties. As the emperor's power increased day by day, their rule became increasingly tyrannical. So a group of rebels emerged. In the era of the ancient emperor, the name itself carried the imprint of being ruled. In the domain ruled by the ancient emperor, people used the place name as their surname. When they had a surname, they signed a contract with the ancient emperor to be ruled.
Therefore, this group of rebels, who concealed their names and changed their surnames to eighteen, formed eighteen teams of resistance.
It is the so-called Gushi eighteen.
They sought the oldest and most primitive surname from heaven and earth, and crowned themselves, thus erasing the ancient emperor's contract. These eighteen rebels stole the power of the ancient emperor and became the original immortals. The current method of cultivating immortals has been passed down from the eighteen clans at that time.
In that era, Gu Clan was eighteen, and they did the craziest thing at that time, like hitting a stone with a pebble: Tudi.
The ancient emperors suppressed and killed these rebels. When they were hiding and hiding, they made all kinds of incredible plans to kill the ancient emperors with unimaginable patience and courage. They sprouted from the middle of the Chaos Era and ran through the Chaos Era and the Ten Thousand Immortals Era. , eventually causing all the ancient emperors to fall.
The ancient emperor ended in their hands.
They call themselves: the tomb burials, sending all the ancient emperors into the tomb.
But in the later period of the Wanxian Era, a great change occurred, and the immortals disappeared, so the eighteenth Gu family was buried in the heavy dust of history.
"Your mother is a descendant of the eighteenth Gu family."
For the first time, He Qingchuan gave the answer to the question He Zhou had been asking for so many years.
As far as he can remember, He Zhou has never seen his mother. He asked other people in the sect whether they were the same as him, but she seemed to be a nun with a low cultivation level. Not long after giving birth to him, she died because of a failed breakthrough. die. Or just evade and refuse to answer.
He Zhou also asked his father many times, but his father never answered directly, and he refused to even tell him what his mother's name was, except when it was time.
—So, the so-called "time" is the time when the Qingming Pagoda in Bingzhou changed, and he saw with his own eyes all the things left over from the barbaric era and the chaotic era? Is this the time when the rain is about to come
He Zhou remained silent, waiting for his father to continue.
He Qingchuan took off the knife that he carried on his back at all times, put it on the ground, pressed his palm on the knife, and a stream of light passed by. He Zhou only heard a "click", and the blade shattered. Among the fragments of the heavy knife, a thinner, very delicate cold knife appeared.
The whole body is crystal clear, like an ice blade.
"This is left to you by your mother." He Qingchuan handed the ice blade to Hezhou. He looked at the cold blade with a somewhat dazed expression.
—There are always things we can’t help ourselves, and we can’t be willful. You are the master of Xuanli Peak of Jiuxuan, and I am the only descendant of the Guan family. None of us have the right to be willful.
- On that day, if it comes, give the knife to Zhouer.
He Qingchuan sighed as a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
He Zhou took the cold knife, and as soon as he took the knife, he felt a kind of kindness that came from blood.
... This is what his mother left him.
"Your mother, Guan Zhiyu." He Qingchuan paused, "She is Guan Ling's daughter."
He Zhou suddenly raised his head and looked at He Qingchuan in astonishment.
He Qingchuan just said that his mother is a descendant of the eighteenth Gu family, and then said that she is the daughter of Guan Ling—Guan Ling is actually a descendant of the eighteenth Gu family? ! But according to legend, Guan Ling is just an ordinary person!
Guan Ling is his grandfather, a member of the eighteenth Gu family...
For a moment, Hezhou felt as if he had grasped something. The theory of linking Qingming Tower was proposed by Guan Ling. Guan Ling must have participated in the linking project of Qingming Tower a lot, and he was the one who rebelled against the ancient emperor in the era of chaos. For the descendants of the eighteenth Gu family, there is a reason why Bingzhou Qingming Pagoda was connected to the ancient battlefield of the Difen War, the Prisoner Pagoda.
"Exactly what you think."
Knowing a son is like a father, just looking at the expression on He Zhou's face, He Qingchuan knew what he had guessed.
"The connection of the Qingming Tower to solve its instability is just a cover on the surface." He Qingchuan calmly told a shocking secret, "The real purpose is to use the Qingming Tower to gather the phases of the heaven and the earth, survey and seal it." Suppress something related to the Era of Chaos and the Era of Ten Thousand Immortals."
"For example, the ancient battlefield connected to Qingming Pagoda in Bingzhou, and the Prisoner's Pagoda." He Zhou clenched his fists and said in a low voice.
"right."
"Is every Qingming Pagoda like this?" He Zhou asked softly, he thought of the 170,000 dead bones, Zhou Wen'an, and the coffins Liao Qian sent.
"It's not true." He Qingchuan shook his head, "And it's not easy to open the passage to the Qingming Pagoda's seal. Bingzhou..."
When talking about Bingzhou, a complicated look flashed across He Qingchuan's face.
"Bingzhou Qingming Pagoda is an exception."
In the end, he took it lightly, but He Zhou didn't hear anything strange about him.
"The Qingming Pagoda is one of the entrances to those unstable spaces. Those spaces are called "tombs" by the eighteenth Gu Clan. In the chaotic era, the ancient emperors led the world, and their fall will cause drastic changes. Gu Clan Those people in the 18th separated and trapped the place where the ancient emperor fell into different spaces, and those spaces are the places where the ancient emperor's bones are buried, that is, the tomb of the ancient emperor."
After hearing what He Qingchuan said, Hezhou finally understood why no one had ever found the tomb of the ancient emperor in the land of the Twelve Dynasties.
"The people of the eighteenth Gu Clan are, to a certain extent, the immortals in the Ten Thousand Immortals Era. They are the first to come into contact with the power of the ancient emperor."
"But the Ten Thousand Immortals Era was interrupted."
The ancient secrets of the era unfolded in front of him, and He Zhou managed to keep calm and rational.
This kind of feeling is like a person who has been living in a thick fog, and suddenly one day, those fogs have dissipated, and he sees the cruel truth and reality behind the fog.
"The ancient emperor is not so easy to kill." He Qingchuan said indifferently, "The ancient emperor can even order the world, and every ancient emperor has to pay a huge price for his fall. What happened in the Wanxian Era What, there is only a vague guess, it is very likely that the remaining ancient emperors finally joined forces to do something, which eventually led to the interruption of the Wanxian Era. Since then, the eighteenth Gu family has disappeared from the eyes of the world. , are their very few descendants.”
"Like my mother."
"Like her." He Qingchuan was silent for a while before nodding. He seemed to be unwilling to mention He Zhou's mother and his wife at this time.
"What exactly are Gu Clan's Eighteen?"
He Zhou stroked the cold knife and said softly.
"You still don't know everything yet." He Qingchuan didn't answer He Zhou's question, "I have something to tell you. I know you have always been dissatisfied with the elders who have designated Baili Shu as a senior brother."
He Zhou opened his mouth, maybe he was not convinced before, but now, he doesn't mind calling that person a big brother.
"Don't be unconvinced." He Qingchuan waved his hand, "His surname is Baili. Baili is the most mysterious branch of the eighteen clans, because...they are..."
"Gravekeeper."
The author has something to say: Brother Baili's nickname: Tianwaixian=v=
In the beginning, little brother Baili's nickname was a foreshadowing. Gu Shishiba was the first person to steal the ancient emperor's power, that is, the so-called immortal, and Bailishu was the so-called immortal.
He is an immortal from heaven, the head of the Baili Patriarch, and the guardian of the grave.
