65. The Holy Land of the Mi Tribe
Along the way, the farther away from the herdsmen's bonfire, the lighter it became, and when we reached the back, there was only the waning moon in the sky and the glimmer of the stars for us to see the way. When I happened to see the eyes of one of the black-clothed people walking behind from the side, I found that the other party's eyes were shining green like wolves, and my heart was fluctuating, what is the origin of this secret clan, why is it so different from our normal people, and how are they very similar to their body shapes?
Fortunately, the three of us are all congenital masters, our eyesight is far better than ordinary people, and a little starlight and moonlight are enough for us to walk, not to mention the footsteps of the man in black in front of us to help us. Rao was like this, and he was also starting a light work, walking for most of the night, until the east was slightly bright, and we came to a castle made of huge stones.
This castle that rises abruptly on the grassland is made of white marble, seventy or eighty battles in length and width, covering an area of more than 100 acres, and the height is about three zhang. On the city gate, there are two words "David" written in thick script, the font is thick and powerful, and the stone is divided into three points, which seems to be engraved by a congenital master with a sword, and I seem to be able to see the traces of the flow of sword qi on the font, which is somewhat similar to the heavenly and human sword tricks in the stone cave behind my Vulture Palace. There are also many herdsmen and tents around the castle, among which there are many powerful warriors, who seem to be subordinate or peripheral forces of the Mi tribe.
Zhiwei and Dalun threw inquiring eyes at me after seeing the castle and the outer warriors, I understood that they were afraid of the strength of the secret clan, since they had already explored the location of the secret clan, there was no need to have a conflict now, but I shook my head imperceptibly, since I came, I couldn't return empty-handed, this is my usual style, not to mention that the other party may not be able to keep me.
When I came to the city gate, I found that the gate was made of bronze, and the door was carved with hideous ghost heads, adding a bit of weirdness to this secret city. After the black-clothed leader called to open the city gate, the three of us went in with us, and the whole castle was quiet along the way, and it seemed that there were not many people, but I heard miserable screams, painful cries and bitter pleads from time to time from the ground, and I couldn't help but think of the words "Netherworld". Although Zhiwei was firm in her Zen heart, she gently tugged at my hand at some point, and it was obvious that she also felt that the city was panicking. Only Dalun was as heavy as water, and seemed to know something.
After entering a palace house in the style of the Zhou Dynasty, I went around the atrium and came to the meeting room, where I met an acquaintance not long ago, Tu Menguang, a descendant of the Mi tribe. There are still a few unfamiliar faces in the living room, most of them are indifferent and silent, among which the first one is an old man with a strong body and gray hair, and the hall is full of martial arts masters, but the old man puts the most pressure on me. Innate peak? I guessed.
But I heard the old man say: "Loose sect Murong Fu? Jiang Ya, the patriarch of the old husband's secret clan, these are the elders of my patriarch. I heard that there was some conflict between Elder Tumen and Your Excellency a few days ago, and I don't think it's a big deal, and it can be over. ”
I saw that Tu Menguang was unhappy, but I could only say yes, so I stepped forward and said: "In addition to solving the problem of choosing a concubine for my companions, I also want to appreciate the magic skills that have been passed down for thousands of years by the secret clan." ”
Jiang Ya stroked his white beard and said: "The secret clan does not dominate the world by force, and it is easy to break if it is rigid, as a Taoist heir, you should understand this truth." ”
"So dare to ask where the Mi clan is based? What is the purpose of the existence of the Esoteric people? ”
"Immortality, ascending." Jiang Ya said solemnly.
"If you are living on the path of immortality, why are you going around taking people captive and torturing them? I saw all kinds of strange-shaped wasted people on the grassland, presumably all of them are the masterpieces of the aristocracy? I said lightly.
"Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, saints are unkind to the people as dogs, the secret tribe is the holy race among people, and it is nothing to let mortals serve us. As for why there are strange-shaped wasters, this is a secret of the secret clan, and people who are not in our clan are not allowed to spread it. In fact, I invited a few people over today, and there was another purpose, that is, I wanted to invite a few people to join my secret clan and ask for immortal cultivation together. ”
"There are many masters in the secret clan, and there is no shortage of the three of us, why did the patriarch have such a proposal?"
"The Mi clan has its own code of conduct, the three of them are all masters of the innate realm, especially Murong Gongzi's extraordinary skills are saintly, and he is really a rare person in a hundred years, so they all meet the conditions for joining the Mi clan, the reason why I sincerely invite is because your wisdom and understanding may be able to solve the thousand-year-old problem of my Mi clan."
"Do you want to be bound by the Esoteric to join the Esoteric Clan? We are accustomed to being free, and I am afraid it will be difficult for us to accept Your Kindness. ”
"Murong Gongzi doesn't have to be in a hurry to refuse, he can live in my secret clan for a few days, and it won't be too late to say anything after visiting my clan's secret realm."
I nodded, and on behalf of Dalun Zhiwei, they stayed.
On the second day of check-in, someone led me to see Jiang Ya, but I heard Old Man Jiang say: "Murong Gongzi's martial arts internal strength has been perfected, but have you ever thought about what the realm of martial arts is further?" ”
I smiled slightly and said, "The realm of martial arts is unfathomable, and it is only in the late innate stage, and it has just stepped into the realm of refining qi and transforming gods, and it is naturally far from the patriarch. ”
"It's far from it, but it's not likely, I'm afraid that the son's internal strength is not below me, but after refining the qi and transforming the gods, there are still refining the gods and returning to the void, refining the void and merging the way or the rainbow into immortals, and there are only a few people who have taken the last step in the history of the secret clan."
I said in disbelief: "There are as many as five people in the Mi clan who have taken the last step?" It is really a nation of saints, and I think that the aristocratic inheritance and exercises should be the first in the world. ”
"Yes, and each of them has a clear record and leaves a corresponding inheritance, as long as Gongzi is willing to join the secret clan, then these inheritances can be available for you to read."
"As the saying goes, the immortal inheritance is really exciting, but what does the patriarch want Murong Fu to do?"
"I want you to kill a man for me, an enemy of the secret race."
"The Mi also have enemies that they can't deal with? Even the patriarch can't deal with it, I'm afraid Murong can't do anything about it. ”
"Murong Gongzi can think about it slowly, I'll take you to the secret holy land first."
Out of the patriarch's mansion came to the street of Fort David, the secret David's Fort David is very large but well planned, the straight and wide road is paved with smooth bluestone slabs, and you can still hear the echo of Dada when riding a horse on the bluestone slabs. It's just that I don't know how the ancestors of the Mi clan built such a huge castle out of thin air in this open space where nothing but dirt is grass.
Passing through the heavy houses, most of which are made of stone, it can be seen that most of these houses have a history of more than hundreds of years, the vicissitudes of life and mottled stones seem to tell the silent story flowing in the long river of history, I suddenly had an unprecedented interest in this secret castle, this is an incomparably profound nation, and even the historical inheritance is not under the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, if you can get the inheritance here, maybe you can really achieve immortal or immortality?
After passing through the heavily defended house, Jiang Ya opened a mechanism and took me underground, we walked down the smooth stone wall passage, the passage was inlaid with a night pearl every three zhang, and it took about half an hour to walk, and before it was finished, I secretly whispered the handwriting of the secret clan in my heart, and after half a cup of tea, I finally came to the underground. It was a huge cave far from the ground, at least in my perception, close to the size of a castle on the ground! The underground cave is divided into countless secret chambers, and three of them seem to contain some kind of magical power that beckons me to explore.
Jiang Ya seemed to have been observing me, and when he saw my curious look, he directly led me to one of the secret rooms, and said as he walked: "This is where the ancestors of my secret clan have cultivated to become immortals, and it is also the biggest secret of the secret of the secret clan that has stood for thousands of years and produced many talents. Now we are going to the dojo of the seventh generation patriarch Tongxuan Zhenren Ji Ran. According to the rules of the Esoteric Clan, you have not yet joined my Esoteric Clan, so I can only show you around for a while, but I can't let you practice in it. ”
I nodded slightly, but I saw Jiang Ya in front of a heavy stone gate and put his hand deep into a grotto to open a certain mechanism, and with a rolling sound, the stone door slid to the side. I was a little excited, because when the stone door was opened, the attraction was even stronger, and a voice in the darkness told me that there was something in it that could make me otherworldly and life-perfecting, and I wanted to rush in and own it.
After quickly entering the secret room of the Jiran Dojo, the desire to have perfection became stronger and stronger, almost to the point that I couldn't let go, and there was nothing else that attracted me deeply, only a statue of an immortal inside, pinching some kind of magic seal in his hand, lifelike, as if he was about to fly into an immortal in the next moment. What shocked me was that the whole statue contained some kind of powerful Dao rhyme, such a powerful Dao rhyme I had only seen on the stone carving of the Heavenly and Human Sword Technique on the mountain behind the Vulture Palace, but I didn't expect that the Dao rhyme in the Jiran Dojo seemed to be better, which made me stare at it for a long time and couldn't extricate myself.
Patriarch Jiang Ya coughed lightly and said, "Master Murong, it's time for us to go." ”
I reluctantly looked away, exited the secret room with Jiang Ya, and said softly: "The secret clan is really profound, and I am afraid that it can be called the first in the world in terms of inheritance." ”
Jiang Ya said thoughtfully: "The immortal statue is carved by the patriarch Ji Ran himself, and every trace of the carving inside contains the rhyme of the patriarch of Ji Ran before the ascension, and the people of our secret tribe have learned a lot of martial arts from it for thousands of years, and it is rumored that anyone who can fully comprehend the rhyme of the patriarch of Ji Ran can immediately reach the realm of the patriarch of Ji Ran, and even the rainbow ascension is a matter of course." ”
I was slightly moved and said: "That's true, I think the depth of the Dao rhyme of this immortal statue is unparalleled in the world, if you can meditate in the secret room for a few years, then you may not be able to reproduce the Dao Fruit of Ji Ran Immortal." ”
Jiang Ya said solemnly: "That's true, but in fact, no one in the Mi clan has reached the realm of immortals for hundreds of years, and even the late congenital stage is becoming rarer, do you know why?" ”
I couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with the nobility?" ”
Jiang Ya nodded and said: "One is that the Dao rhyme of the immortal statue is gradually dissipating, the second is that the understanding of the people in the secret clan is gradually declining, and the third is the most important thing, there are traitors in my clan!" They have taken away an important inheritance of our clan, causing the Mi clan to die out day by day! ”
I nodded, "No wonder." It's a pity, it's a ”
