Chapter 520: The Land of Ruins
Hearing these two words, Qin Jue's face was full of shock, and it was said in "Liezi Tang Wen", "The east of the Bohai Sea, I don't know hundreds of millions of miles, there are big ravines, but there is only a bottomless valley, and there is no bottom under it, and the name is Guiru." The water of the eight and nine wildernesses, the flow of heaven and Han, are all injected, and there is no increase or decrease. Among them, there are five mountains: one is Daiyu, the second is Yuanqiao, the third is Fanghu, the fourth is Yingzhou, and the fifth is Penglai. Its mountain height is 30,000 li, and its top is 9,000 li. ”
Legend has it that Guiru is a bottomless valley in the sea, where all waters meet. It is a fairyland, a place where the aura of all directions gathers. There is also such verification in the poem "The Initial Advance of the Suburban Altar to the South China Sea" in the Ming Dynasty, "There is a spiritual land under the void, and there is a material merit in Guangli." ”
To Qin Jue's surprise, the legendary ruins actually appeared at this time, and the person who snatched the Dinghai God's needle iron came from there, which really made people marvel.
"Isn't the return to the ruins in this world?" Qin couldn't help but ask.
King Xia frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Although this Qingqiu Plain is the place where my three clans have lived for generations, in the easternmost part is a boundless mountain range, commonly known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and among them, there is a quiet place, which is a bottomless valley, and there is a ruin. It is located in a remote area, and there are mountains and moats, so the people of my three tribes rarely set foot on it, and among the 100,000 mountains, fierce beasts are rampant, and they have always been regarded as forbidden places by the three tribes, so no one dares to trespass at all.
But just six years ago that day, suddenly a woman came, she snatched the Dinghai God needle iron in my clan, and then went all the way to the east, hidden in the hundred thousand mountains, I sent people to pursue, but just over the five or six mountain ranges completely lost her traces, but all the way to the pursuit, we did not find nothing, in the mountains and forests picked up a token, presumably she inadvertently left behind. This token proves that she came from the Land of Returning to Ruins, and that there is a group of immortals from outside the world hidden in this Ruins. ”
King Xia said solemnly, and his expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy again.
"The reason why our people are in a hurry to explore the ruins and open up a new place to live is largely because they feel the pressure from here. This group of people is not ordinary, and if they do come out of the ruins, it will be a great disaster for us. So I had to plan ahead. ”
"Are the people in the ruins really that terrifying, and what can that token represent?" Qin Jue frowned and asked curiously.
"Alas......" sighed, King Xia waved his hand slightly, and the maid on the side took a piece of red gold token.
Qin Jue took the token and observed it carefully in his hand, only to see that one side of the token was engraved with eight inscriptions - Guixu Holy Land, Shaohao Country, and on the other side was a name - Xiluo. Qin Jue was slightly stunned, and his mind was full of reverie for a while.
"The country of Shaohao, I can't imagine that this place of ruins can be linked to the country of Shaohao, it seems that there is a great secret hidden in it. ”
Shaohao is one of the five gods, also known as the White Emperor, and as for the country of Shaohao, it is recorded in the "Great Wilderness East Classic" of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The big gully beyond the East China Sea, the country of Shaohao." Emperor Shaohao left here and abandoned his qin. Those who have a sweet mountain, the sweet water comes out of the Yan, and the sweet abyss is born. ”
In this way, this big gully is the legendary place of returning to the ruins, that is, the location of the country of Shaohao, time flies, and I don't know in the blink of an eye for thousands of years, what the country of Shaohao has become like today, Qin Jue is very curious. And the other side of the token was the name of the owner at that time.
The surname Xi is still very rare in history, the only thing that can be associated is Xihe, she is the wife of Di Jun, who gave birth to ten suns, and now it seems that this Xiluo may really have a great relationship with Xihe. What's more, he suspected that the person who appeared in the Wang family was likely to go out from the place of returning to the ruins, if this was the case, then this side of the ruins must have a channel connected to the outside world, so it was very likely that Wang Peng was also there. In this way, it can be explained together.
The more he thought about it, the more shocked he was in his heart, the purpose of his trip was for the Dinghai God Needle, since it was certain that this Divine Needle was snatched by someone from the Land of Ruins in the 100,000 Great Mountains, then sooner or later he would have to go over to find out, but the most important thing at the moment was this ruin.
But after thinking about it, Qin Jue unconsciously became suspicious again.
"Since this country of Shaohao and the three clans are on the same Qingqiu Plain, how can they turn a blind eye to such a relic of the gods? You must know that when this relic was born, the bronze tripod had been hovering on the mountain range for several days, how could it not be seen with such a vision of heaven and earth? and let the three major families loot it to this day?" he muttered softly, his face unconsciously gloomy again.
Seeing this, the Xia King on the side couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, he understood Qin Jue's thoughts, he naturally wanted to find out about this place of ruins, so that it would be more powerful for their Xia clan, if Qin Jue won and successfully recaptured the divine iron from the land of the ruins, then they could also rely on Qin Jue's power to profit from it, even if it was unprofitable, at least it could deter them, so that they did not dare to provoke the three clans easily; 。
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but raise his wine glass and toast Qin Jue again.
"Mr. Qin doesn't have to worry too much, the most important thing at the moment is this Heavenly God Ruins, if Mr. can collect the inheritance in this ruins, then this place of ruins, there is no need to worry. Come, this king wishes you success in your war. ”
Qin Jue smiled without saying a word, picked up the wine glass and touched a glass with him.
The banquet lasted for nearly two hours before it finally ended, and after that, King Xia specially arranged a special camp tent for Qin Jue, not only sending guard handles, but also arranging two flower-like maids to roar.
However, the maid was rejected by Qin Jue, he was used to being alone, but he was not used to living this kind of life of being served, after getting the two away, he began to meditate cross-legged in the room, the road ahead was confused, he didn't know who the opponent was, let alone knowing himself and the other. It was this confusion that made Qin Jue more and more unconfident, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Originally, walking in this world, life and death are fateful, victory and defeat are constant, and I have never been afraid, but now...... I'm getting more and less informed, is this long path of cultivating the truth so endless?"
There was a sense of melancholy, but he tried harder, no matter where he was stepping now, but his last enemy was clear, the four corpse ancestors of the Dead Realm, which he would have to find sooner or later.
Early the next morning, the army of the three families began to retreat, and after several years of confrontation, all industries in various ethnic groups withered, and now the beacon fire is gradually extinguished, and most of the sergeants still have to return to their hometowns, ready to resume production.
However, none of the three clans left, and they all tacitly left more than a thousand people, still stationed on the original military array, just in case, after all, the next three clans are going to enter the ruins, and they must at least have to make the necessary guarantees.
At noon, the three kings began to meet, this time the matter discussed was very simple, that is, the relevant arrangements for entering the ruins, this time the three families were indeed much more peaceful, not as red as the last time the enemy met each other. After the three families agreed, they would select their own children to go to the outer edge of the ruins tomorrow to prepare for the corresponding entry into the valley, but before that, the three families still made some necessary rules.
After the meeting, the three families returned to the camp separately, but Qin Jue and the others did not go back, but inquired about the location of the ruins and left one step ahead.
The reason why everyone was separated before was to take care of the emotions of each family, and on the other hand, it was to inquire about some hidden things, and through the verification of the three parties, they could understand the situation of Qingqiu Yuan more clearly.
Qin Zulong went to the Ao family, the Ao family is the most brave and aggressive, so the treatment of warriors is still very high, Xuanwu and Yue Yue went to the Bai family, because the previous Yue Yue did not kill a person indiscriminately, so the Bai family is still very welcome, and the White King also recognized Yue Yue as his godsister, and made her a real princess of Fuyao, not only that, the old White King left eight princesses before his death, and Yue Yue successfully became the ninth princess, I have to say that it is really a fate. In comparison, only Qin Jue's opening in the Xia Clan was a little awkward.
Through the comparison of information from the three parties, it was also verified that Qin Jue got the news, King Xia did not deliberately deceive or conceal it, but some of the news was inaccurate, the people who came out of this land of ruins not only took away the Xia family's Dinghai God Needle Iron, but also snatched the treasure of the Zhen clan from the Ao and Bai families, and the Ao family was a pair of body armor, named- The purple gold dragon scale armor is said to be indestructible because of the reverse scales on the real dragon's body, and the treasure of the Bai family is a psychic holy stone, which is said to be transformed by the eyes of the nine-tailed fox, which can predict the future and calculate good fortune. Originally, it had been in the hands of the fox fairy of the fox clan, but unfortunately it was taken away later.
From this point of view, there is a great grudge between the three clans and the land of the ruins, but judging from the situation they described, it seems that the same person took away the three important treasures. If one person snatches the treasures of the three clans at the same time, she must have a plan.
Thinking about it, Qin couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that this place of ruins is not peaceful......"
After passing through a canyon, the four of them went directly to the depths of the mountain forest, and the three clans were also very cautious, knowing that everyone had to wait outside the ruins first, so they notified the children of the clan who were hidden around the ruins and went to answer in advance.
After walking for about two hours, I finally saw a huge mountain col, and in the middle of this col there was obviously a meteor stone standing in the middle, and the ground within five or six meters of the side was scorched and blackened. Qin Jue just wanted to get closer, but was blocked by a looming barrier.
The children of the three clans on the side hurriedly stepped forward and introduced, there are spiritual energy barriers everywhere here, and there is only a gap in the southeast, but it is still suspended in mid-air, and there is also the trajectory of the heavenly stone flowing, and only there can enter the ruins.
Qin Jue raised his eyes and glanced at it, his face was also very curious, but he didn't rush in, but led everyone directly back to the camp that had been arranged for them, before the army of the three clans arrived, they still had to show respect, so everyone rested in the valley for the night, and sure enough, early the next morning, the children of all families arrived.
The three armies roared in, there were more than 1,000 people, which was discussed at yesterday's meeting, and the three families each sent 400 people to accompany them, of which 120 people from the Xia clan will enter the ruins, 100 people from the Ao family, and only 80 people from the Bai family, and the rest of the people and horses will be waiting outside the ruins.
Not only that, but the three families also agreed that the children of all clans were not allowed to kill wantonly in the valley, and whoever got the treasures in the valley belonged to them, and those who were collected by others were not allowed to rob them again, otherwise they would become the public enemies of the three families.
I have to say that although the kings of the three clans are old-fashioned, they still pay great attention to faithfulness, and all the children who enter the valley have been repeatedly advised, which shows the prudence of the three families.
After everyone arrived, the three families worked together to build a high platform, before entering the valley they jumped into it with the help of vines halfway up the mountainside, but this time there were too many people, they naturally had to be cautious, and soon a high platform of dozens of meters was built, and a long staircase was set under the high platform, so that it was indeed much more convenient to enter the valley.
After doing all this, everyone didn't delay any longer, and they all went into the valley one after another, and Qin Jue and the others also fell to the end. After all, the first palace in the ruins has been cleaned, and the two palaces behind have not been opened at all, so it doesn't have much to do with entering the valley one after another.
After entering the valley, Qin Jue raised his eyes and took a look, this valley was lush and green, and the eyes were full of thick greenery, the breeze was blowing, and the smell of flowers and herbs was everywhere, which was refreshing. The huge palace is surrounded by overlapping vines, even the gate of the palace is entangled with blooming morning glory, the thin mist is slowly steaming, through the flower-filled courtyard is the green palace, the first palace is a total of eight, but unfortunately the inside has long been empty. Only the main hall in the middle has a back door, but unfortunately the door is closed and cannot be passed through at all.
Yu Yue seemed to like this place very much, and she pulled Qin Jue around, her face already smiling.
"Husband, look, this place is really beautiful, we will also find such a fairyland to live in seclusion in the future, okay?"
Qin Jue looked at him dotingly and nodded heavily.
"When I'm done with everything, our family will find a quiet and peaceful place to live in seclusion, and I'm going to make it even more beautiful than here. Painting the green mountains and green waters, decorated with a strong floral fragrance, as well as the red sunset and the bright starlight......"
