Chapter 189: Dao Master
Xihai City was built on the west coast, and although it is called a city, its scale is not very large.
The whole city is only thirty miles long, and the walls are quite low, less than five feet high.
The scale of Xihai City is similar to that of the Great Song Dynasty in the previous life, and it cannot be compared with those state cities in Yi State.
It seemed that the city was not forbidden to fly, Yi Jiuxiao and Zhou Ji flew directly into the city and landed at the position of the main altar of the tribe in the city.
The general altar of the tribe is built very magnificently, the main gate is tall and majestic, and all kinds of buildings behind the door are scaled up.
Yi Jiuxiao was still in the air, and he saw four people standing outside the main gate of the main altar, all of whom were early stage cultivators of the Martial Emperor.
If there was only one here, Yi Jiuxiao would definitely guess that it was the Great Elder, and now that there were four of them, he couldn't guess who it was.
Before Yi Jiuxiao could fall from the sky, he saw one of them raise his head and clench his fists and said, "Kong Kui of the West Sea tribe sees your lord!"
Then three more voices rang out, and it was the other three people standing at the main entrance of the tribal altar.
"Tian Bing, the East China Sea tribe, see your lord!"
"Nanhai tribe Shandan, see your lord!"
"Beihai tribe bear family, see my lord!"
When Yi Jiuxiao heard this, it immediately understood that it was not only the Great Elder of the Xihai Tribe who was waiting in front of the door, but also the Great Elder of the other three tribes.
Just when Zhou Yan went to invite Yi Jiuxiao, Kong Kui, the Great Elder of the Xihai Tribe, also set off to invite the Great Elders of the other three tribes.
Because Zhou Yan flew too slowly, he waited around the fishing village in the middle, and he was delayed for a lot of time.
Therefore, Kong Kui and the other three great elders went to Xihai City first, and waited for Zhou Yan's return in the city.
If Zhou Yan didn't invite Yi Jiuxiao, these four great elders were going to go to the fishing village to meet Yi Jiuxiao together.
The four of them had been waiting in the main altar, and as soon as Zhou Yan entered Xihai City, they had already sensed it.
When Yi Jiuxiao was sensing the cultivation of these four people before, these four people were also sensing Yi Jiuxiao's cultivation.
Seeing that Yi Jiuxiao was already in the middle stage of the Martial Emperor, and his cultivation was higher than them, they all called him Lord together.
In the cultivation realm or the martial arts realm, no matter how old or young, the one who has a high level of cultivation is an adult.
This title has nothing to do with official positions, but is purely a sign of respect for the strong.
After Yi Jiuxiao landed, he also clasped his fists at the four of them and said, "Yi Jiuxiao has seen the four great elders. ”
Then, accompanied by the four great elders, Yi Jiuxiao entered a hall in the main altar and sat down.
Zhou Yan didn't follow up, although he was an elder of the Xihai tribe, there was no need for him to participate in the reception of the four great elders at the same time.
After sitting down, I saw Kong Kui get up again and salute, and said: "My lord, you came to our island, I didn't know before I waited, how much neglect, please don't blame me!"
Yi Jiuxiao hugged his fists and said, "Great Elder don't be polite, we martial arts cultivators are at peace with what happens." ”
At this time, the Great Elder of the South China Sea Tribe, Shan Dan, who was sitting on the side, clasped his fist towards Yi Jiuxiao and said, "My lord, dare to ask where you are from?"
"I'm from the Heavenly Continent. ”
Yi Jiuxiao didn't hide it, since he was also a martial arts cultivator, there was no need to disguise and deceive.
As soon as his voice fell, the four great elders opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time, as if they had encountered something very surprising.
Yi Jiuxiao was also taken aback, and asked, "Four Great Elders, is there anything wrong?"
Xiong Ke, the Great Elder of the Beihai Tribe, stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Is the Lord really from the Cangtian Continent?"
"Exactly. Yi Jiuxiao replied without hesitation.
The scene became very quiet again, and I saw that the four Great Elders were silent, and tears flowed from their eyes.
Yi Jiuxiao thought to himself: "What's going on, why did these four people cry when it came to the Cangtian Continent, could it be that they are also from the Cangtian Continent." ”
After dozens of breaths, Kong Kui spoke up: "My lord, we are all people from the Cangtian Continent, but we have been away from the Cangtian Continent for ten thousand years, and we have been drifting on this sea of no return like a lonely ghost, so I lost my temper just now, please don't blame my lord." ”
Although Yi Jiuxiao had a hunch, he was still stunned, he didn't expect that these four people were really from the Cangtian Continent.
Moreover, these four people said that they had been away from the Heavenly Continent for 10,000 years, could it be that they had exceeded 10,000 years old?
In the previous life, although the Great Song Dynasty called the emperor "Long Live Lord", it was just a title, and the emperor would not even live to be a hundred years old.
Looking at the four long-lived people in front of him, Yi Jiuxiao was shocked for a while.
He asked, "How did the four Great Elders come to this island of no return?"
In Yi Jiuxiao's mind, these four Great Elders probably had the same experience as themselves back then, and they strayed into a certain teleportation array and couldn't return.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a desolation in his heart, maybe he would also float in this sea of no return for 10,000 years.
"My lord, not only are the four of us people from the Cangtian Continent, almost all of the people on the entire island of no return are people from the Cangtian Continent, and some of them are descendants of the people of the Cangtian Continent, and the island of no return was originally a part of the Cangtian Continent. ”
Yi Jiuxiao felt that his brain was not enough for a while, and he hadn't figured out the drift of the island of no return.
Now that the island of no return is part of the Heavenly Continent, how can he imagine it.
Could it be that this island of no return was connected to the Cangtian Continent before, because it would drift, so it ran away inadvertently.
But how is this possible, this is a land of 10,000 miles, not a small wooden boat.
He was cranky, his head hurt a little when he thought about it, and in the end he didn't think about anything at all, and asked directly to save trouble.
"Four Great Elders, I don't know one thing, why did this Island of No Return drift, why did it leave the Heavenly Continent. ”
The Great Elder of the East China Sea Tribe spoke: "My lord, let me tell you. Not only will the islands of no return shift, but all the continents will drift, because the continents and islands float above the Canghai, and the Canghai is so deep that it is almost bottomless, and all the continents are fixed on the Canghai through the pillars of heaven. Ten thousand years ago, there was a divine war, in the Cangtian Continent, the Tianzhu Buzhou Mountain of the Cangtian Continent flew out, fell in the sea, and turned into this island of no return, at first we could still sense the Cangtian Continent, but then the Cangtian Continent floated away and was never seen again. ”
Speaking of this, tears flowed out of Tian Bing's eyes again, and you can imagine the tragedy of the divine battle at that time.
He continued: "We didn't know when the Divine War would end, so we didn't dare to return to the Cangtian Continent from the Island of No Return, and then the Cangtian Continent disappeared directly and turned into this sea of no return, and the Island of No Return also drifted like duckweed for 10,000 years. ”
Tian Bing said so much, but Yi Jiuxiao still didn't understand the drifting on the island of no return.
So he interjected and asked, "Why is the island of no return all the time in the sea of no return, and not the rest of the sea?"
Tian Bing replied: "The sea of no return is the root of the island of no return, and no matter how the island of no return drifts, it cannot be separated from the sea of no return." ”
"Then why don't the other islands in the sea drift, only this island of no return will drift?"
"My lord, the islands in other parts of the sea are actually connected to the bottom of the sea, but the island of no return has no roots. ”
Yi Jiuxiao understood everything, and he asked another question: "Four elders, I heard that there is a spiritual pagoda in the center of the island of no return, is there one in the first place?"
It was Kong Kui who answered, and he said: "My lord, this is still related to the divine war ten thousand years ago, the earliest Cangtian Continent was all mortal roots, mortals, and all the cultivators were martial arts. ”
Yi Jiuxiao nodded and said: "This kind of spiritual pagoda was originally done by the Heavenly Dao, and I want everyone to become cultivators, but I don't give spiritual energy, this is a living trap." ”
The four elders also nodded, agreeing with Yi Jiuxiao's statement, and then the four great elders glanced at each other.
Finally, the Great Elder Xiong Ke of the Beihai Tribe spoke: "My lord, I don't know what is happening to the Cangtian Continent now, and where is it drifting?"
"As for where the Cangtian Continent is, I can't tell. The Cangtian Continent has now completely become the Xiuzhen Continent, but the cultivation level is not high, and the highest existence is the Yuan Infant. There are also some mortals among them, but they don't cultivate, and I may be the only martial arts cultivator in the entire continent. ”
"Excuse me, my lord, since you are the only martial arts cultivator, how can you cultivate martial arts?" Xiong Ke asked with confusion.
"I got a Heavenly Opening Sutra by chance, and then cultivated the martial arts on my own according to the Open Heaven Sutra. ”
When he said this, Yi Jiuxiao was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether to tell the truth or not, after all, opening the Heavenly Scripture was a big secret.
But if they don't say it, these four great elders will probably be difficult to dispel their doubts, and they will never appear out of thin air.
"My lord, you said you got the Open Heaven Sutra?" Kong Kui asked, his tone a little strange.
"Exactly. ”
Suddenly, I saw Kong Kui, Tian Bing, Shandan, and Xiong Ke kneeling on the ground together, kowtowing again and again.
"Meet the Dao Master!"
This move was very sudden, which caught Yi Jiuxiao a little off guard.
"The four great elders, please, I am not a Taoist master, but I just got this scripture by chance. ”
The four of them were still kneeling on the ground, and they didn't get up, only to see Shandan say: "My lord doesn't know, the Open Heaven Sutra is held by the martial arts masters of the past dynasties, and the previous generation of Dao masters is Lord Panji, and after the fall, the Open Heaven Scripture is nowhere to be found." It is not just an accident that adults get the Sutra of Enlightenment, because those who hold the Sutra must be absolutely mortal. ”
"The four Great Elders, please stand up and speak, I still have a lot of things to ask the four of you. ”
Kong Kui and the others stood up, but they didn't dare to sit down, their expressions were quite respectful, which was very different from before.
They also had a lot of respect for Yi Jiuxiao before, but respect and respect were different, and the current situation was completely the attitude of the courtiers towards the lord.
"Daoist, if you have anything to ask, we will know everything. Tian Bing said.
Yi Jiuxiao saw that Tian Bing called him the Taoist Master, and he was also very helpless, when Panji taught the Open Heaven Sutra, he did not say anything about the Lord.
"Four Great Elders, this Open Heaven Sutra of mine was taught by Panji's predecessors, and at that time he only had a trace of divine thought left, I want to ask what kind of cultivation Panji's predecessors were at the beginning? Who was harmed? What do you mean by absolute mortal roots?"
