19. Spiritual Sacrifice [96/100]
"Bang"
A loud bang sounded in the deepest part of the Changbai Secret Realm, like a sudden thunder, and in an instant, it spread throughout the entire complex mountain stream tunnel like a spider's web.
In this tunnel, everyone who heard this loud sound all changed their faces.
The national teacher who had just entered the secret realm was shocked and angry.
And Dong Lingjun, who was already close to the underground palace, was surprised by a touch of curiosity and inquiry.
Shen Lan, who was exploring and searching in the Ice and Snow Palace, was surprised and stunned.
That's not right!
Mrs. Tongtang clearly said that without the Five Immortal Seals, it would be impossible for the immortals to open the relics left by the immortals thousands of years ago.
On the ninety-nine steps of this crystal clear, completely ice-cube palace, Shen Lan looked back and saw Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie rushing into this icy area in a piece of ice chips.
She pursed her lips, and did not stop her, but quickened her pace, swept up the stairs with Xiuhe, and disappeared on the road leading to the palace.
There is a problem with my calculations, and now, I have to act quickly.
"Big brother, here it is"
Xiao Tie bowed his head, and Shen Qiu rushed into the broken ice door in front of him, and what came into view was a world in the ice.
It is hidden in the hollowed-out mountain, and the scale is not large, that is, about 300 zhang in circumference, the size of a village, but everywhere it is covered with crystal ice and frozen.
The cold air visible to the naked eye escaped in front of the eyes, and those irregular ice edges and ice clusters grew in every place up and down, left and right.
There was also a refracted light shining in the ten-zhang wide passage in front of him.
The road surface is very flat, with traces of artificial treatment, all the way to this Changbai secret land, where is a palace with a unique shape.
The seven-storey building, like a palace or a tower, with obvious signs of collapse, must have been much larger in its heyday than it was at present.
The building was very exquisite, with pavilions rising and falling on the ground, and wrapped in the cold air, like a work of art made of the purest ice.
It's like the strange things carved by those great gods at the ice sculpture festival in Shen Qiu's hometown.
Between the shadows and shadows of this building, it is cold and dead, and it is really like a fairy family.
It's like the Guanghan Palace on the moon.
It stood a hundred feet away in front of the two of them, like a miracle sealed in time, waiting for visitors from this era.
"Let's go!"
Shen Qiu didn't hesitate as Xiao Tie did.
Although when he saw the ice sculpture palace with his own eyes, he also lost his mind.
But the life experience in his hometown has made Shen Qiu see a lot of these bizarre things, and the things imagined by talented sand sculpture netizens are much more powerful than this.
He grabbed Xiao Tie and swept forward.
As they rushed up the ninety-nine ice stairs and entered the palace, Dong Lingjun also rushed into the Changbai Secret Realm with the gate open.
He is an immortal cultivator.
Naturally, than people like Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie, they understand the wonder and extraordinaryness of the ice cave in front of them.
"Seems to be a remnant of aura?"
Dong Lingjun took a deep breath in this cold place, just like spitting, and when the ethereal eyes opened, those eyes were full of surprise and joy.
He swayed and whisked the dust, and his figure stretched out, like a roc with folded wings.
In the swing of the sleeves, the feet do not fall to the ground and sweep forward.
"The Changbai Secret Realm, the relic of the immortal family, is really extraordinary."
Dong Lingjun landed on the stairs, looking at the ninety-nine knots of ice stairs that had been shaped according to the direction of the celestial phenomena in front of him, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes.
As he swept up the stairs, he thought to himself:
"This place is probably like Penglai Mountain, which left a large mountain protection array thousands of years ago, locking the spiritual energy from escaping, but for thousands of years, the spiritual energy locked here is only the skin, and the guardian array of this secret place has been broken.
It's a pity that the last wisp of aura under this Changbai Mountain will also be dispersed, and since then, these five immortal views have also fallen into the world.
But what the immortals left behind"
Dong Lingjun crossed up to the high platform and looked at the cold ice palace gate in front of him that had been pushed open with a gap, as well as the three big characters engraved on the palace gate.
Shuoxue Palace.
That's the name of this secret place.
There was a flash of inquiry and anticipation in his eyes.
I don't know, the inheritance of these five immortals is different from Penglai Mountain?
"Huh"
Dong Lingjun tapped lightly under his feet, and in the swaying of his hair and beard, he rushed into the palace in front of him.
A moment later, the Sect Master of the Witch Sect, the National Teacher of the Northern Dynasty, was happy, and also rushed into the Changbai Secret Realm, his whole body was wrapped in an eerie cold wind visible to the naked eye, as well as a fantasy, and a real flying snow entanglement.
The eyes of this Liaodong great man were full of irrepressible anger, and the miserable white bone knife in his hand also let out bursts of hiss.
"Premeditated!"
Looking back at the 10,000-year-old ice gate that was shattered into scum, he was the contemporary host of the Five Immortals Temple, and he knew his secret realm well.
The first fourteen years of his life were spent in seclusion in this secret realm.
This 10,000-year-old ice gate, even with the world's sharp weapons, can't hurt it in the slightest, and martial arts people can't open it at all, let alone destroy it to this extent!
Only people in the same path can do this.
This secret realm was broken, it must have been premeditated in advance!
can be stuck in such an accurate time, but I don't know which one of the colleagues planned this bad thing of stealing into other people's secret realms.
"Bang"
The national teacher turned around and slapped a palm.
The true qi of Shuoxue that sealed all things poured out from the palm of his hand, and in the lingering, a layer of crystal clear ice wall was shaped, and the broken secret realm gate was sealed again.
This can't stop the escape of the secret realm's aura, but it can barely alleviate a little.
When he turned around again, his body, cheeks, eyebrows, and short hair were all frost condensation, surrounded by cold air, making him look even less like a Jianghu character.
"Penglai? Kunlun? Or is it the Taihang Immortal Gate that has been destroyed? ”
Happy body is like the cold wind of Liaodong, holding a bone knife, in the frost, swept towards the secret palace, his eyes were full of cold and murderous intent.
"Whoever dares to come, let's be buried in this snowy and cold winter place!"
On the other side, in the seven-story Shuoxue Palace, Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie were running wildly in it, the interior of this palace was exquisitely built, and there were all kinds of utensils and living utensils, just like a real palace.
Among them, the road is also tactful and tortuous, and when you first arrive, between these pavilions, it is natural to get lost.
But a house made of ice cubes has a disadvantage that cannot be avoided.
It is transparent.
Like a mirror, the surrounding scene is still faintly visible despite the refraction of light.
"The Enchantress is over there in the Tower!"
Shen Qiu looked out, and beyond the crystal palace walls, he could see Shen Lan and Xiuhe sweeping into the seven-story ice tower behind the palace.
"The Taoist priest is here! Eldest brother. ”
Xiao Tie looked behind.
Behind the clear ice wall, dozens of zhang away, he saw Dong Lingjun who had swept into Shuoxue Palace, and he clenched the giant gate in his hand.
"Let's go!"
Shen Qiu didn't look behind him, rushed into the passage in front of him with Xiao Tie, and ran after Shen Lan.
He firmly believed that if this demon girl dared to come to the secret realm of the Five Immortals, she must know the way to escape, and she said that she would die.
But if you still believe in her at this time, you will be greatly out of your mind.
"Don't run!"
Dong Lingjun's long voice sounded from the back of the cold palace.
He said:
"I don't want to hurt your life, I just want you to go back to Penglai with me! Everyone in this river and lake longs for the road of immortal mountains, but few people can get this opportunity."
Dong Lingjun originally wanted to persuade Shen Qiu and Shen Qiu.
But unexpectedly, after he said Penglai's words, the speed of the two people running increased again, as if they were frightened.
This made Dong Lingjun frown.
He was three points faster under his feet, holding the dust and carrying the ancient sword on his back, and chased after Shen Qiu and the others.
The palace walls in Shuoxue Palace are numerous, the road is tortuous, it is too much time to chase like this, Dong Lingjun pinched the sword trick in his hand, and the ancient sword "Guancang Sea" behind him suddenly came out of the sheath.
Like a flying sword, it swung along with Dong Lingjun's fingers, and stabbed at the ice wall in front of him.
"Bell"
With a crisp sound, the sharp ancient sword returned in vain.
There wasn't even a crack in the ice wall in front of me.
This surprised Dong Lingjun's eyes by three more points, the ice cubes used in the construction of this Shuoxue Palace were not ordinary.
This sound made Shen Qiu glance back, and when he saw that Dong Lingjun couldn't break through the ice wall and chase after him, a trace of essence suddenly flashed in Shen Qiu's eyes.
"Keep up with me!"
He said a word to Xiao Tie, then changed direction, and just rushed straight to the wall in front of him, and when he got closer, he slapped a palm in his hand, and Jian Yu was clasped in the palm of his hand.
"Bang"
Between the sword jade contact, the ice wall that the sword did not hurt was easily cracked, allowing Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie to jump over.
After that, there was the sound of ice blocks constantly breaking, echoing in Shuoxue Palace, like a violent demolition, making Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie flee faster.
There was also the collapse of the ice wall, which opened up the palace that was not originally connected.
Dong Lingjun followed, he didn't know why Shen Qiu was able to destroy this immortal ruins, but at this time, it should be because of the immortal fate in his hands.
He kept under his feet, chasing Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie into the depths of the palace, only thirty zhang away from the last seven-story tower.
But when he passed a suspected sacrificial palace, Dong Lingjun suddenly stopped.
He stood in the middle of the palace, whose walls had been broken, and looked at the intricate set of shamanic-style sacrificial objects that he was visiting.
Various stone carvings, bone sacrificial vessels, and jars for liquids.
None of that matters.
The most surprising thing is that in the deepest part of this sacrificial palace, there are several ice sculptures, which are exactly the same as the ice sculptures outside the secret place, all of which are sealed with lifelike bodies.
But these ice sculpture costumes in front of you are completely different from the outside world.
"This is"
Dong Lingjun's eyes widened.
He took a few steps forward, his movements becoming a little more solemn.
"These are the monks of the Five Immortals Guan Xianlu thousands of years ago, and these loose spiritual qi here are flowing from them."
The people of Penglai naturally have different insights.
Dong Lingjun saw the secret of this palace at a glance, and he walked forward again, and in front of those ice sculptures, there was a huge green jade plate that exuded a cold air through the bones.
Just like a picture scroll, on the green jade plate, there are carefully carved patterns and pictures.
That should be the picture of the Shuoxue Palace in its heyday, it is a huge palace complex, which should be the Shuoxue Palace thousands of years ago.
Just looking at the picture scroll on the jade plate, when this palace community is intact, the area is at least ten times more than ten times that of the Changbai Secret Realm at this time!
And looking at the background of the jade plate picture, this immortal land should not have been hidden in the Tianmu Mountain at first, it should have been located next to the Changbai Immortal Pond.
Dong Lingjun saw that under the picture scroll, there were dense characters, all of which were seals from thousands of years ago.
He reads:
"The catastrophe of the end of the law swept the heavens and the earth, and the Five Immortals were not spared.
When the aura dies, the method of moving the mountain will move the inheritance of my five immortal views to the ancestral land, so that it will not be infected by outsiders.
The road to heaven is cut off, and the whole world is in the sea of suffering, and there is no liberation.
Leave a spiritual sacrifice, if after thousands of years, when the aura can be revived, my generation will inherit the descendants, and then the sacrifice can be triggered, so that the remnants of the ancestors can return to the world, and then take the road to heaven. ”
"Ahh
Dong Lingjun's complexion changed drastically.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the several immortal monks behind him who were frozen in ice, they were dead, there was no doubt about it.
But judging from this inscription, among these ice sculptures, there is still a trace of remnant spirits, and when the time is right, you can use the piece of spirit attraction sacrifice on the jade plate to wake up these remnant spirits.
In other words, these people behind him are the people who moved Shuoxue Palace from Xianchi to Tianmu Mountain.
They should be the last few immortal cultivators of the Five Immortal Views when they came at the beginning of the end of the Dharma Era.
This empty palace became gloomy at this moment, and Dong Lingjun seemed to be able to feel some remnant spirits peeping into it from thousands of years ago from the eyes of those ice sculptures.
This made Dong Lingjun couldn't help but shudder.
There are no ghosts and gods in this world, and without aura, those strange spirits cannot survive.
But is that really the case?
"Whew"
Dong Lingjun let out a long breath and calmed his mind.
He turned his head and looked at the thousands of words of the spiritual sacrifice, he wanted to firmly memorize the immortal inheritance of the Five Immortals, bring it back to Penglai, and tell it to the head of the Daojun.
Dong Lingjun is a man with a bright mind.
He reacted quickly, since the small sects among the immortal cultivation sects such as the Five Immortal Sects have left behind the revival of the remnant spirits, then there is no reason why Penglai Mountain, a major sect in the era of immortal cultivation, has no such preparations!
Maybe Kunlun Immortal Pool, as well as Taihang Immortal Gate, have the same backhand?
He figured out a lot of things at this moment.
It is no wonder that the heads of the past dynasties have been struggling to pursue the method of attracting spirits in the world, and the root of this is probably the legacy left by these ancestors.
And the Five Immortals take the shamanic road, the best at communicating with the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods, even in the era of aura thousands of years ago, when it comes to the method of attracting spirits, who else can be more professional than the Five Immortals?
At this moment, Dong Lingjun had a spontaneous sense of mission in his heart, and at the moment, finding the disciple of Senior Brother Moving Mountain and taking back Juque was no longer the most important thing.
He must bring this immortal family's spiritual sacrifice back to Penglai Mountain!
This is a matter related to the inheritance of the sect, and Dong Lingjun is not allowed to think about anything else.
This time he came to Liaodong, maybe it was fate, maybe the ancestors of Penglai Mountain also guided him here in the dark.
"Shameless thief!"
Just as Dong Lingjun was trying his best to write down this spiritual sacrifice, a loud shout came from outside the palace.
Startled, he suddenly turned his head and unsheathed his sword.
Seeing a gloomy joy, he walked into the sacrificial palace in the cold wind.
"Enter my secret realm and steal the inheritance of my immortal family! Penglai dog thief, so shameless! ”
Gao Shan raised the miserable white bone knife in his hand, and between his cold eyes, the national teacher gritted his teeth and said:
"I will never die with you!"
"Dog thief! Today, with your life, I will sacrifice my ancestors of the Five Immortals! ”
