Chapter 224: White Snake Xu Xuan
Zhang Yunxian saw that most of the tombstones were simply engraved with a name, and there was no title.
The burial method is also relatively rough, if it weren't for the fact that there is a stele, Zhang Yunxian wouldn't even be able to see that the pile of stones with no rules at all turned out to be the grave of the deceased, which is not as elaborate as the human tomb at all.
Yao Bi suddenly sighed sadly and said, "It's a pity that the high priest of Baili didn't even leave a complete corpse when he died, so we can only find some of his old clothes and set up a tomb for him on this mountain!"
Bai Lisen died because of the protection of their three demon kings, when he sacrificed his own vitality, fused himself and the scepter, and finally was destroyed by the wind of silence with only one head, after a night, when Yao Bi and they came out of the reincarnation god, but even his only head could not be found, it is estimated that it was buried by the dust precipitated in the night, buried to an unknown depth.
Kong Yan, Aji, and Luo Xiuxiu, when they heard what Yao Bi said, all had sad expressions on their faces, and they all nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yunxian couldn't help but sigh, he also admired Bai Lisen's noble behavior of sacrificing his life at the last moment to protect the three demon kings.
At this time, he suddenly heard Shen Yi say in his mind: "Go to the top of the mountain, your chance is on it!"
Where they are now, not even halfway up the mountain, because the entire mountain is covered by red sandalwood, Zhang Yunxian had no choice but to run Tianyantong and look towards the top of the mountain.
He saw that there was a labyrinth-like building on the top of the mountain, which was a very regular concentric circle shape, which was also made of stones, and the scale was much larger than the tombs below, but it was like an ancient tomb group, and in front of the labyrinth, there was a white jade stele that was one zhang high, and the inscription engraved on it was in traditional Chinese, which was particularly eye-catching, and the content was "the tomb of his beloved wife Bai Suzhen".
What is the situation? Zhang Yunxian was immediately shocked.
Look at this meaning, this tombstone turned out to be erected by Xu Xuan himself for Bai Suzhen? Xu Xuan has been here?
But Fahai clearly said that Bai Suzhen is not dead!
Didn't Xu Xuan understand this at that time?
Zhang Yunxian's mind was a little confused, and he couldn't wait to fly to the top of the mountain immediately to see what was going on in the tomb, but he was anxious, after all, this was the place where the demon clan died, and if he did this, it would hurt Yao Bi's feelings.
So, he had no choice but to ask without words: "Do you know what the covenant between the demon clan and me is?"
He wanted to ask for a proof if he had promised Bai Suzhen's clansmen anything when Xu Xuan came here.
Kong Yan and Aji looked at Yao Bi one after another, because all along, this covenant was only passed down orally by the high priest, and the specific reason for it was never mentioned, among several people, Yao Bi was the most familiar with the ancient book fragments of the demon clan, if there was really any written record about this matter, then Yao Bi should be the only one who knew about it now.
Unexpectedly, Yao Bi shook his head and said: "I don't know the reason, the high priests of all dynasties have said this, after all, this is a thousand years, the high priests have changed for four or five generations, and the Apocalypse has never appeared again, I estimate that even the high priest of Baili himself regards this covenant as a legend that is not credible, right? He must not know the specific reason, otherwise he would not be able to turn against you so easily." It's not that I deliberately defended him, our demon clan is indeed more faithful to its promises!"
Zhang Yunxian was not too disappointed by Yao Bi's answer, he believed that what she said was true.
Looking back at the history of mankind itself, it is easy to understand this kind of thing, not to mention eight hundred years, that is, what happened two or three hundred years ago, and now there are several different versions of it.
Nothing is more fragile than historical inheritance, 800 years, at any point in time, there is a possibility of an accidental disaster, or a deliberate man-made disaster, which will distort or even completely cover up the real history.
Therefore, Yao Bi and the others, even Bai Lisen, the high priest, did not understand the various causes and effects between the demon clan and the Apocalypse, and Zhang Yunxian was completely able to understand it.
"So, how much do you know about the matter between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xuan?" Zhang Yunxian's only question now is whether the demon clan knows that Xu Xuan is the Apocalypse.
"This, we all know something!" Yao Bi continued Zhang Yunxian's question and said, "I have also read about this incident in ancient books, and it is not very detailed!"
Zhang Yunxian said with interest: "Oh, yes?
"According to the information left behind in the clan, the white priest is the last demon saint of our demon clan, and she has more than 1,700 years of cultivation!" Yao Bi said this, her face couldn't help showing a look of envy and yearning, paused, and continued, "Our demon clan has always attached great importance to kindness, about the relationship between the white priest and Xu Xuan, the records of our demon clan are still relatively consistent with the legends in the human world!
"The two respected each other like guests, raised their eyebrows, loved husband and wife, and lived together for about 60 years, and later, Xu Xuan didn't know why, offended several heavenly masters of the dynasty, and was listed as a wanted criminal by the imperial court, and the two suddenly fell into a situation where they were hunted down and killed day and night......"
Yao Bi was obviously also very puzzled, as to why Xu Xuan offended the heavenly masters of the Great Song Dynasty, it was not written in the book, but it was just a skip.
Zhang Yunxian was a little puzzled, according to Meng Ying, the Heavenly Masters surrounded and suppressed Xu Xuan and Bai Suzhen in order to 'eliminate the demon and defend the Dao', that is to say, the identity of Bai Suzhen's snake demon is the key to their wanted!
But in the ancient books of the demon clan, it was written that Xu Xuan offended the heavenly masters, which caused all this.
Which is the right one?
This is very important to Zhang Yunxian, because it is directly related to those Heavenly Masters and Fahai, and the real motive for dealing with him.
If it is said that just because Bai Suzhen is a demon, as written in folklore, the grudge between Zhang Yunxianjue's self and Fahai can be attributed to the hatred of killing his wife.
However, if the records of the demon clan are not fabricated, those Heavenly Masters and Fahai, the main target is obviously Xu Xuan, maybe Bai Suzhen, who was just involved in this dispute in order to protect Xu Xuan.
Or are those sanctimonious enemies just trying to put themselves, the 'Apocalypse', to death under the guise of 'destroying demons and defending the way'?
After experiencing the Lunatic Cult, Zhang Yunxian always had an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart, and he always felt that the real enemy of the 'Apocalypse' should be a very powerful force hidden in the shadows.
Fahai's doppelganger, Chi Chengzi, once said that he wanted to refine himself into some kind of miracle medicine, although it sounded ridiculous, but Zhang Yunxian could roughly judge from the tone of his voice that he was not talking nonsense.
Zhang Yunxian's biggest worry was that those Heavenly Masters in the previous life, including Fahai, would they be the same as the Song Protectors of the Lunatic Sect, who were dominated by the powerful force in the dark, and were completely here for Xu Xuan's identity as the 'Apocalypse'?
It's a pity that there is no clear answer in the ancient books of the demon clan.
"What about Fahai, why did he deal with Bai Suzhen?" Zhang Yunxian wanted to figure out that Fahai was not the Heavenly Master of the Imperial Court, and how did the two of them unite together?
"That bald thief is too stingy!" Yao Bi said indignantly, "Xu Xuan was seriously injured and difficult to treat at that time, and the white priest heard that there was a panacea in the Jinshan Temple, so he went to the door to ask for it, and those bald thieves had compassion in their mouths, and asked the priest to leave Xu Xuan alone in the temple and not allow others to accompany him!
"And then?"
"The white priest waited outside the Jinshan Temple for two days, and there was no news at all! She really couldn't rest assured, so she sneaked in at night, who ......knows" Yao Bi said this, her face was full of very annoyed expressions, "Who knows, what the white priest saw was that those bald thieves didn't treat Xu Xuan at all, but tied him up and tortured him in every way!"
"Damn!" Zhang Yunxian shouted.
"In a fit of rage, the white priest snatched all the elixirs in the medicine warehouse of Jinshan Temple, and burned most of the temple to ashes with a fire!"
When Zhang Yunxian heard this, he also felt extremely relieved, and he admired Bai Suzhen even more in his heart.
"Later, although the white priest saved Xu Xuan, because Fahai and the heavenly masters colluded with each other to lay a net, in the end, the white priest still fell into the hands of the bald thief in order to cover Xu Xuan's escape......"
Fahai was already a sage at that time, and most of those heavenly masters were also sage masters, even if Bai Suzhen was capable, he was not the opponent of these people.
Zhang Yunxian asked sympathetically: "What happened later? Whether she is alive or dead, do you demon clan have an explanation?"
Yao Bi said in a deep voice: "It is written in the book that the white priest died during the reign of King Wei Shao of the Great Song Dynasty, lived for 1,760 years, died in the hands of Fahai, and his form and spirit were destroyed!"
Zhang Yunxian recalled in his mind, at that time, Meng Ying said that Xu Xuan was born in the reign of Gaozong of the Great Song Dynasty and died in the early years of Xuanzong of the Great Song Dynasty, and lived less than ninety years old.
Judging from this point in time, the time recorded by the demon clan about Bai Suzhen's death should be three to four years earlier than his own.
Then, the tombstone on the top of the mountain is really from Xu Xuan's hand, which also makes sense.
"Do you know more about Xu Xuanqi?" asked Zhang Yunxian.
Yao Bi thought for a while, and said puzzledly: "What is recorded in the book is very simple, it only says that Xu Xuan had the grace of saving his life in the white priest in his previous life, he is just a weak scholar, and he doesn't even have a fame, I really can't understand, how can he offend the heavenly masters of the current dynasty with such an identity?"
Zhang Yunxian thought to himself, sure enough, the demon clan didn't know Xu Xuan's identity as the 'Apocalypse'.
He looked up in the direction of the top of the mountain, and said lightly, "I want to go to the grave of your white priest!"
Yao Bi's face suddenly hesitated, "The tomb of the white priest has always been a forbidden place for our demon clan for hundreds of years, and our demon clan itself is not allowed to go up!"
"Aren't you curious? You have also heard the words of Chi Chengzi, Bai Suzhen is now suffering in the Infernal World, but she is not dead, who erected her tomb for her?"
"Regardless of whether the White Priest is alive or dead, we can't go to the forbidden land!" Yao Bi said very resolutely.
"Has no one ever gone up?" asked Zhang Yunxian with some disbelief.
"In the past two hundred years, it is absolutely yes, as for before, we don't know!"
Because the age of several demon kings is about two hundred years old, Yao Bi can be said to be very objective when he speaks.
"I have to go up!" Zhang Yunxian said categorically.
Yao Bi asked angrily: "Even if you are the Apocalypse, you can't ignore our demon clan's clan covenant like this, right?
Zhang Yunxian took a deep breath and said word by word: "Because, I am Xu Xuan!"
