Chapter 25 Worship the Mountain Gate
"Not bad. ”
Zhang Xingzhi said with a sigh of emotion: "In the year 396 of the Tiansheng calendar, the demon army attacked from the east and south, and Yizhou and Luzhou fell successively, and then it took only three months to burn the war all over the seven states of Daliang, and it was once under the city of Jing'an, which almost caused the second shame of Jing'an.
Fortunately, at that time, when the national power of Daliang was in its prime, Emperor Shengzong was really destined for heaven, and Wen Taowu was all-encompassing, and he had several imperial expeditions, all of which returned with great victories.
At the same time, the entire Liang cultivation world headed by Tianchi is even more united, regardless of good or evil, the major sects are all pouring into the nest, against foreign enemies, which lasted five years, and finally wiped out all the thirteen lords of the demon clan, and the rest of the remnants fled into the Xichuan wasteland, and the demon emperor Shun bound himself to the Ten Thousand Tribulation Tower, suffering from the thunder of the sky, and life was better than death.
After this battle, the Great Liang cultivation world ushered in a truly prosperous era.
The prototype of the six major factions has emerged. ”
Zhang Xingzhi's voice was very low, and the tone of the narration was also very calm, but when it fell on Liang Chen's ears, it made him feel the long-lost blood surging.
It was the most magnificent poem in human history, and it was also an important node in the transformation of the Liang cultivation community from small to strong.
The failure to witness it with his own eyes made Liang Chen deeply regretful.
Liang Yuling, who was behind her, seemed to be fascinated by what she heard, and couldn't help but ask: "Since the remnants of the demon clan can escape into Xichuan, why does the demon emperor want to throw himself into the net?"
Zhang Xingzhi sneered: "I probably want to do the last dying struggle." ”
Liang Chen wasn't interested in the demon emperor, but when he heard his sister ask, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, even if the demon emperor can escape, I'm afraid he won't have the shame to face the Jiangdong father, and he didn't kill himself like the overlord of Western Chu to atone for his sins, and he was already greedy." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xingzhi couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "The overlord of Western Chu?"
Liang Chen felt speechless, and hurriedly spoke: "Oh, it's a book that the disciple has read before, telling the story of a man named the Overlord of Western Chu who failed to fight for the world and killed himself in Wujiang. ”
After a pause, Liang Chen quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, Third Elder, according to what you said, except for Tianchi, the rest of the six major factions were all established after the invasion of the demon clan?"
"That's right. ”
Zhang Xingzhi nodded: "After this battle, the entire Great Liang Dynasty is in ruins, and at the same time, there are also many talented monks who have had an epiphany during the battle, or have a heaven-sent opportunity, and have created an immortal Taoist system. ”
"There is an old Taoist who occasionally has the secret art of immortality, so there is Wanshou Pavilion.
There are blacksmiths who cast tens of millions of divine soldiers, so they created the Tibetan Sword Villa.
A girl strayed into the cold pool of Beishan, so there is an additional Hanxiao Palace in this world.
There was also a young man who slashed the three gods of the demon clan with one person and one sword, and thus created the Qishan Sword Sect. ”
"What about our Luming Academy?" Liang Chen asked urgently.
Zhang Xingzhi smiled slightly: "Master, is he an old man...... He may not be as talented as the above-mentioned people, but he is the most knowledgeable person I have ever seen in my life, and I would even like to believe that he is the one who is rumored to be born to know, and he is the most important treasure that God has given me in the Great Liang cultivation world. ”
Liang Chen felt that he didn't understand.
"Uh...... Can the Third Elder be more elaborate?"
"Let's put it this way......" Zhang Xingzhi's face was full of energy, and his tone was quite proud: "The master once served as the host of the Great Guangming Temple, and he also had a wine conversation with the Holy Maiden of Tianchi, went to the Tibetan Sword Villa to gamble and win the divine sword, discussed with the palace master of Hanxiao Palace in the dormitory for three nights, plucked the beard of the master of Wanshou Pavilion, and broke the Qishan Sword Formation at the kendo conference. ”
Hearing this, Liang Chen couldn't help but gasp, and then a strong doubt rose in his heart.
Since the master is so awesome, why is Luming Academy now only ranked last among the six major factions?
Also, in Zhang Xingzhi's words just now, it seems that in addition to the six major factions, there is also an inexplicable place that he has never heard of.
"Is the Great Light Temple also a sect?"
"Well...... Zhang Xingzhi was slightly stunned, and then explained very perfunctorily: "It's normal that you juniors haven't heard of it, after all, the Great Guangming Temple broke off the Taoist system a hundred years ago. ”
Liang Chen could vaguely feel that Zhang Xingzhi seemed to be deliberately hiding something, but he didn't ask much.
Instead, he took this opportunity to open his mouth and express the biggest doubt in his heart.
"Then have the three elders ever heard of the Heavenly Demon Sect? It is rumored that it is also a powerful sect ...... in the past."
I didn't think about it.
This time, Zhang Xingzhi's answer was more concise.
"The evil demon is just a foreign way, and it was exterminated by the six major factions a hundred years ago. ”
So Liang Chen finally discovered a detail.
The Heavenly Demon Sect was killed by the six major factions a hundred years ago.
The Great Light Temple also broke off the Taoist system a hundred years ago.
Will there be any connection between the two?
Is there any taboo in the Daliang cultivation world?
Even Zhang Xingzhi didn't want to mention it.
Liang Chen wanted to ask again, but saw Zhang Xingzhi gently wave his robe: "Okay, there is the mountain gate of the academy ahead, since you brought it back by me personally, don't embarrass me later." ”
Liang Chen's heart shook slightly when he heard this.
This spirit beast deserves to be a spirit beast, since the three of them set off, how much work has it been?
I'm about to arrive at the academy so soon!
Of course, he cares more about the second half of Zhang Xingzhi's sentence.
"Wait?"
It's a pity that Zhang Xingzhi didn't mean to explain much, just turned his back to Liang Chen and shook his head: "You'll know when you wait." ”
When the words fell, Zhang Xingzhi's wings vibrated sharply, and he actually broke through the clouds with a swooping posture!
Liang Chen's heartbeat skipped half a beat, and a strong sense of weightlessness suppressed the words in his mouth, and he quickly grabbed Qingluan's back feather with one hand, and gently held it on his sister's wrist with the other.
Signal my sister not to be afraid.
However, in a few breaths, the scene in front of Liang Chen's eyes finally changed from a vast white mist to a majestic green mountain.
The main peak is steep, like a giant sword, pointing straight to the sky.
The low peaks on both sides are like sword hilts slightly upturned, revealing a certain awe-inspiring fierceness.
This is the Burial Sword Mountain.
It is said that there are two origins of its name.
One is that because the shape of this mountain is like an ancient giant sword buried by the gods, it is named.
There is also a legend that this place was an ancient battlefield when the demon clan invaded, and the halberd soldiers did not know the geometry, and buried countless loyal bones and heroic souls, so it was called the Burial Sword Mountain.
There is a faint layer of water in the mountains, like a veil covering the face of a beauty, adding a bit of mystery.
Faintly, there seems to be a melodious piano sound that escapes into the sky from the full greenery, which makes people intoxicated.
It's a pity that before Liang Chen could take a closer look, with a soft cry from Luan Bird, Liang Chen and the three of them had already fallen to the ground.
"It's here, let's go down. ”
Zhang Xingzhi turned his head and raised his chin at Liang Chen, but he himself didn't seem to have the intention of moving.
Liang Chen nodded, turned around and picked up his sister, and then jumped off Luanniao's back lightly.
"Sister, are you okay?" Looking at Liang Yuling's slightly pale face, Liang Chen couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and hurriedly crossed a trace of aura into his sister's body.
Liang Yuling shook her head, bit her lip and didn't speak.
Then I heard Zhang Xingzhi's voice coming slowly: "I'm waiting for you at the top of the mountain." ”
With that, Qingluan flapped its wings again and took off, and soon disappeared into the mountains.
It was only at this time that Liang Chen finally saw the white jade mountain gate standing in front of him.
From a certain point of view, the mountain gate of Luming Academy is definitely not magnificent, let alone the so-called fairy, but it seems a little simple.
Although the whole is carved from white jade, perhaps because of too much time, the jade has been faintly yellowed, and there are even several sword marks of different shades on the lintel, which seem to have never been repaired.
Compared with the archways that Liang Chen had seen in some tourist attractions in his previous life, he was a lot stingy.
But the strange thing was that standing in front of the gate of this white jade mountain, Liang Chen did not feel the slightest sense of ruin, but instead had an inexplicable sense of oppression, which made him feel awe.
That may be the essence of the years.
The scene inside the mountain gate is not real, as if it is shrouded in a hazy layer of smoke, or it may be the deliberate work of some kind of formation.
While Liang Chen was secretly pondering, a human voice suddenly sounded not far away, causing him to suddenly come back to his senses.
"That junior brother over there, don't look at it, come here!"
Liang Chen turned his head to look, only to find that at the bottom of the white jade mountain gate, a group of children of the same age as himself had gathered, and there were about twenty or thirty of them at a cursory glance.
At the front of this group of people, there was a young man in white, who was waving at him at this moment.
Liang Chen was slightly stunned, and then pulled his sister to greet him, with a little dazed on his face.
Fortunately, the young man in white took the initiative to speak: "You were brought back by the third elder, right?"
"Yes. Liang Chen arched his hand again and again: "Dare to ask ...... this senior brother is?"
"My name is Zhu Yuan, I am a disciple of the outer courtyard of the academy, and I am responsible for taking you to worship the mountain gate today. ”
Perhaps because Liang Chen was personally brought by the three elders, Zhu Yuan was quite polite to Liang Chen.
But Liang Chen didn't dare to take it, and then said: "It turns out that Senior Brother Zhu is now, my name is Liang Chen, and I am from Yinma Town." ”
As soon as the words fell, someone next to him whispered: "Drinking Horse Town?
That sounds a bit harsh.
Liang Chen frowned secretly, turned his head to look, and saw a big fat man who was richly dressed and looked like a meat ball, muttering at him.
Of course, Liang Chen knew that Luming Academy, as the largest sect in Cangzhou, might only open the mountain once in seven or eight years to accept disciples.
Naturally, it was impossible to send only one of the three elders to Yinma Town to recruit students.
In fact, Liang Chen was able to be admitted to Luming Academy this year, thanks to the blessing of the Wang family.
Well.
To be more precise, it is the blessing of Wang Linfeng.
So presumably, except for himself, the rest of the people here are children from the state capital, or some big towns.
At least the vast majority of them are.
Didn't you look at the side of these people, who more or less brought a few guards, scholars, and even servants such as maids?
At this time, in the face of the little fat man's questioning, Liang Chen just smiled slightly: "Cultivation does not look at the background, and the cultivation of the heart does not look at the family background, the so-called princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?"
When the words fell, the little fat man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Liang Chen's second half of his sentence for a while.
Zhu Yuan, who was on the side, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
The words seem to be right.
But do you always feel like there's something rebellious?
But before Zhu Yuan could think about it, someone stood up again.
I didn't expect Brother Liang to have such ambition, which really made the younger brother admire. ”
While speaking, a handsome boy stepped in front of Liang Chen and gently arched his hand: "Junior brother Wang Qinglun, who lives in the state capital, I don't know if I can make a friend with Brother Liang?"
Liang Chen replied again and again: "Wang Gongzi is polite, Liang Chen is honored." ”
So Wang Qinglun laughed: "After entering the academy, there is no son or not, it seems that you should be older than me, why don't I call you Senior Brother Liang in the future!
Hearing this, Liang Chen also smiled.
For a while, the two were as happy as old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
It's just that no one noticed that compared to Wang Qinglun, Liang Chen's smile seemed to be a little stiff.
Because even he was about to ruin the list of friends in front of him.
failed to find Wang Qinglun's name.
