Chapter 22: The Saints
"Do you know the consequences of sharing your fate with others?" Chu Yao still couldn't help but say, after all, he didn't think that just because they had chatted before, the relationship had become a lot closer, and the other party would be generous enough to share his opportunity with him.
You must know that the road of cultivation is already difficult, not only relying on one's own talent and hard work, but also relying on opportunities, encountering a treasure is an opportunity, encountering a certain inheritance is an opportunity, and even meeting a good teacher and a good partner are opportunities, small opportunities can change the speed of cultivation, large opportunities can change a person's life, it can be said that opportunities are precious, everyone has their own opportunities, few people will tell others about their opportunities. After all, on this cruel cultivation avenue, there are so many resources, in order to seize resources, killing teachers and relatives, brothers turning against each other, and cannibalism is not uncommon.
Even if Chu Yao's previous life is added, this is the first time Chu Yao has encountered such a situation. Sharing opportunities is tantamount to separating one's own charm and weakening one's own heritage, after all, one more person will have more competition, and naturally there will be more risk, and the father and son are still secretive, this Nangong Che ...... Chu Yao really couldn't understand, could it be that his charm was really so great? He shook his head, this is impossible, his own charm is clear, even if he has, it is impossible for the other side to achieve this level, so if it is not for Nangong Che to have other schemes, then he is really open-minded, and he can be regarded as the last character.
"......" Nangong Che still didn't answer, and walked forward silently, the two of them are now in a corridor leading to the entrance of the underground palace, the corridor is quite spacious, the floor paved with green jade, and the walls on both sides are also made of green bricks, and the walls on both sides are inlaid with glowing fluorite, so that people can clearly distinguish the situation in the corridor.
The road is not long, and in a blink of an eye you will arrive at the entrance of the underground palace - a huge bronze stone door, the stone gate is about 100 meters high and 50 meters wide.
What is simply drawn on the stone door, Chu Yao can only see clearly when he gets closer, it seems that two huge portraits have been carved, although the brushwork is minimalist, the outline is also a little rough, and the time is long, the carving may have lost its original charm, but Chu Yao can still feel that the portraits of the two people on the stone door are quiet and leisurely, elegant as immortals, arrogant and untainted, like a pair of fairy couples, envious of others.
The Ten Thousand Souls Continent advocates martial arts, but it does not mean that people are not greedy for power, on the contrary, some people's Tao is the way of power, holding power makes the mind accessible, giving grace to obtain good fortune, and the speed of cultivation is not slow, so there are very few beings in the world who can really do the realm of the two people painted on this stone gate, and more or less people will be entangled in the world because of the various things they have experienced, and after all, there is no pure happiness as these two people.
"What this woman seems to be holding in her hand, it's a little blurry, but the man can see it clearly, it seems to be a flute?" Chu Yao intentionally or unintentionally tested Nangong Che, "I just wonder if this underground palace is related to these two? Isn't it a person's inheritance?"
"......." Nangong Che actually wanted to answer, but it was inconvenient for him to say, if he said too much, he would lose, he said before that he found it alone, if he still knew what was inside, it would be too abnormal, after all, opportunities are unknown, can what is known still be considered an opportunity? It can only be regarded as a test, so in fact, this underground palace is a test for Nangong Che, and it is naturally an opportunity for Chu Yao.
"As far as I know, although the two people painted on this stone door have only a few brushstrokes, but the charm is still there, if I remember correctly, they are very much like the pair of fairy couples recorded in ancient books - the Dancing Heavenly Maiden and the Sound Sage. Chu Yao didn't give up, and continued to probe tentatively, he said slowly, his eyes staring at Nangong Che's expression tightly, wanting to find some clues. Although Chu Yao can be sure that the identities of these two people will not be wrong, but the ancient books are only a few introductions, and their authenticity is debatable, and I don't know if it was made up by later generations, so asking this person who knows the inside story will definitely have unexpected gains.
"Do you even know that the Dancing Heavenly Maiden and the Yin Shengjun?" This time it was Nangong Che's turn to be surprised, no wonder he was surprised, this Dancing Heavenly Maiden and the Yin Shengjun were characters thousands of years ago, although they were famous for a while, but there were very few ancient books that recorded them, and the descendants only said that these two people were idle clouds and wild cranes, and they went into seclusion, so there were naturally few stories in circulation, but how many people knew the real truth....... Nangong Che couldn't help but feel a little sad and a little annoyed, and said quietly, "You should have seen it in an ancient book, such a character, a strong man in the saint realm, should be recorded......
"It's just ......." Nangong Che suddenly became clever, detached from the state of immersion in his own memories before, what happened to him, how could he suddenly think of this...... I almost said it, wouldn't that be a bad thing! This is the secret of the Dark Moon Divine Kingdom. After a pause, Nangong Che continued, "It's just that I know so much. ”
Chu Yao secretly said that it was a pity, he secretly used the Ecstasy technique just now, but he couldn't make him subconsciously say the secret he wanted to hear, and even if he tried again, there would be no new progress. Chu Yao stroked the stone gate, felt its coolness and smoothness, turned his head and asked, "Then how do we enter the underground palace?"
This question is to the point, and Nangong Che can also answer it, so he explained, "Wait, when we enter the Yongdao, it should detect us, and it should be opened soon." ”
"It?" As soon as the words fell, a neat gap opened in the middle of the stone door, wider and wider, until it was completely opened, and the dreamy purple light and the sound of dingdong music came from behind the door, and along with it there was a faint and unique fragrance, as well as ...... This is the underground palace of a saint realm powerhouse! As long as a cultivator reaches the power in the saint realm, all the power in his body will be transformed into holy breath, an extremely pure and holy power.
"Since the dungeon has been opened, then let's separate here, I hope you can get out alive!" Nangong Che stepped out, walked towards the door, and added before entering, "No matter how good the inheritance is, you must live to enjoy it, don't lose a big one because of a small one!"
Chu Yao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, although it was impossible for him not to know these truths, but looking at Nangong Che's cautious face, Chu Yao still felt very warm, this person's character is really good, even if it is an opponent, he will not forget his previous friendship.
Soon, Nangong Che's figure disappeared from Chu Yao's sight, "Hey, it's really weird, I was actually moved to ....... just now" Chu Yao hadn't heard any warm words in his previous life, but now he was moved by such a simple word of concern, which is also strange, touched his nose, and Chu Yao also stepped into the door.
...................
Somewhere in an unknown mountain, in an unknown pavilion, in a secret room, two people were talking.
"Patriarch, the eldest prince should enter the underground palace at this time. The man's voice was old and hoarse.
"Hmm. "The one who is called the patriarch responds carelessly.
"Patriarch, but I can clearly sense that there are three people entering the underground palace!" the Great Elder was a little anxious.
"Oh?" At this time, Nangong Yucai put down the teacup in his hand, a little surprised, "Che'er has always been steady in his work, it is impossible for him to negligently let people take advantage of the loophole, so ...... There is only one explanation. ”
"You mean....... The ...... of the Dance Clan's side "The Great Elder was very puzzled, and he was also cautious when he spoke.
"Not bad. Nangong Yu took a sip of tea slowly.
"But...... They are not...... Have they been missing for hundreds of years? I thought they were completely dead. ”
"Duanzhi!Cautious!" Nangong Yu's tone was clearly a little angry, and Duanzhi was the nickname of the Great Elder.
"Distinct...... It is clear that hundreds of years ago, they insisted on parting ways with us, saying that they lived in seclusion and followed the will of their ancestors, hum, you and I both know that it is nothing more than self-deception, yes
Others betrayed us first, so what's wrong with me concealing their distress signals!" The Great Elder said very aggrievedly, he didn't think he was at fault.
"Let's not talk about the previous things for the time being, since they still have descendants, if they can get it back with their ability...... Then take it, but we are also poor people who have sympathy for each other, and we don't take care of each other, and then we ...... Ay. Nangong Yu was a little frustrated.
"I just look down on them, obviously their ancestors were ...... They can actually bear it, and if they give up, they will give up revenge, in my opinion, this is not cowardice!" said the Great Elder with righteous indignation, he really couldn't get used to it.
"Well, it's not like you don't know that the Wu clan is already withering, maybe it's just a last resort. ”
The Great Elder of ....... did not deny it, because it was indeed the truth.
"When can the eldest prince return to ......" The eldest elder could think of his eldest nephew in his heart, he had no sons under his knees, only two daughters, and his love for Nangong Che was naturally more.
"Look at himself, don't rush for a while, give him a little free time, we pushed him too hard before. "Nangong Yu can actually suffer in his heart, seeing that his son is living so painfully, he is so old at a passionate age but he is so old by himself, hey, it is false to say that he is not distressed. It's just that..... He knew that this was the fate of their people, and he couldn't escape it.
.....................
The form in the underground palace is complex, and the winding passages connect one palace after another, just like a labyrinth, there is no topographic map, even Chu Yao feels very difficult, he is a little skeptical that this Nangong Che knows that he does not have a topographic map, and knows that even if he comes in, he will not be able to threaten himself, so he generously brought him in. The more Chu Yao thought about it, the more it made sense.
At first, the path Chu Yao walked was either a trap or some simple tests, which naturally made it difficult for Chu Yao, but slowly, Chu Yao found that this test and obstacle was getting more and more powerful, which made even Chu Yao, who had reached the realm of a saint in his previous life, wonder if this person set up the level so intentionally and did not want people to pass.
