Chapter 527: Northeast Nafu, Void Tower
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said.
"The Nine Heroes are too polite, under the surname Qian Ziqiang, from the Northeast Nafutang, on the Taishan Summit on the Nine Heroes fighting heroic, so unforgettable, I didn't expect to see you again......"
Blind Zhuang once told me that these sects in the rivers and lakes can basically be roughly distinguished just by listening to their names. For example, what is the name, what pavilion, what number, most of them are engaged in the business of medicinal materials and foreign pills.
This kind of hall is both good and evil, black and white, no one can be offended, and they are bent on seeking wealth. For example, Shunde Hall in Decheng, where Wang Zixiao is located, is a typical example.
I recalled for a long time, and I couldn't remember what Nafutang was at the Taishan Summit, but I just thought this person was familiar.
However, even if you don't count the top ten famous families and the eight great families, the number of heroes who came to the summit alone exceeded 1,000, and it is impossible to remember them all.
But listening to what the middle-aged man said politely, he hugged his fists again at the moment, and said that it was Brother Qian, I was a big name who had admired Nafutang in the Northeast for a long time, and I was disrespectful and disrespectful.
Then I called the fat man and the amorous man and introduced these two as my good brothers. Qian Ziqiang also asked the people behind him to come over, saying that they were all his junior brothers and sisters.
His younger brothers and sisters were not very enthusiastic about us, so they nodded politely.
To put it mildly, I asked Qian Ziqiang.
"Brother Qian, this is so far away, why did you come to Xiangxi from the northeast? Are you here to do something? ”
Qian Ziqiang rolled his eyes and said haha to me, his Northeast accent is very strong, and he speaks in a set manner, which is quite infectious.
"Jiuxia also knows that our Nafutang is engaged in the business of medicinal materials, there are two rare medicinal materials in the deep mountains here, one is Xuanshen, and the other is Eucommia, we came to Xiangxi Ancient County this time, it is the order of the family teacher, and came to collect medicine and hunt ......for treasures."
I kind of want to laugh. Herb picking? With a team of seven or eight people from the northeast, they came to the mountains of Xiangxi to collect medicine?! Now I'm afraid it's ancient times, and you still need to pick the medicinal materials yourself! Is it enough to pay for food and travel?
Qian Ziqiang obviously didn't tell the truth, but I didn't bother to expose it, and at the same time I was curious about what he meant by treasure hunting.
Qian Ziqiang didn't say much, but changed his mind and asked why we came here.
I'm not a fool, he won't tell the truth, I also played haha, the Wang family's ancestral house didn't mention it, just said that a friend came here to play two days ago, but lost contact, we are here to look for someone.
Hearing me say this, Qian Ziqiang's face changed, and he took two steps forward to me and lowered his voice.
"Nine Heroes, do you know where this place is?"
I was stunned for a moment, and said that this place is not inside the mountain?
Qian Ziqiang shook his head and said that we only know one and don't know the other. Then he recounted how they had come here.
He said that after they got off the plane, they first chartered a minibus to the county seat of Guxian County, and in the afternoon they began to head towards the mountains in search of medicinal herbs.
As the rolling hills deepened and the sky grew late, they suddenly noticed a place in front of them where the yin qi was extremely strong.
Cultivators are very sensitive to the reaction of the aura, this is a mountainous area, wherever the yin qi is strong, there must be mountain spirits or special magnetic fields, simply put, it is the qi of the leylines.
Under the influence of this leyline qi, the medicinal herbs around it are often individual, nourished by essence, and invaluable.
They followed the direction of the yin qi, walked in a twist and turn, and for an unknown amount of time, they strayed into a strange valley.
The valley is full of clear streams, lush vegetation, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and a wisp of strange miasma. Qian Ziqiang said that this miasma is like an aurora in the sky, colorful and constantly surging.
They wore protective masks on this trip, but they were not affected by the miasma, but there seemed to be some kind of formation in the valley, and they couldn't get out after walking for a long time.
The night is getting darker and darker, and the beautiful miasma is getting thicker and thicker, obscuring the sky and the sun. In the blink of an eye, he was inexplicably teleported to this bone field.
Afraid that we wouldn't believe it, Qian Ziqiang pointed to a corner of the hall in the distance for us to see. Following his finger, I saw a sika deer.
It was a juvenile fawn, thin and without horns on its head, frightened by the light of the ghost shark scales and the light of the people's flashlights, and was huddled in a corner of the hall shivering.
"This deer is in the valley, and it was teleported with us......"
Qian Ziqiang said in a deep voice.
I looked at each other with the fat man and the amorous face, and I felt incredible. It seems that they strayed into a teleportation circle and somehow arrived here. It's completely different from the way we came here, and we shouldn't know about the Wang family's ancestral home.
Xiangxi is located in a remote area, and there are many strange people since ancient times, but who laid this kind of magic circle, and what is the purpose of his formation?
Qian Ziqiang frowned, and said that before leaving, the master had told him that this mountainous area was unusual, and if he guessed correctly, this should be the legendary secret realm in the mountains.
I couldn't help but be surprised by his words. Secret Realm? Could it be that you're talking about the Tower of the Void?!
What is Void? To put it simply, it is a tower, a round tower.
Buddhists say that "saving a person's life is better than building a seven-level floating pagoda", and this "floating slaughter" is a pagoda, which means that saving people's lives is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
The floating tower is generally used to hold the relics of high monks, scriptures and scrolls, etc., so it is also called the round mound, which is auspicious.
Xumi, like Futu, is from Sanskrit, and is essentially a tower, but Futu Pagoda is built upward, and Xumita Pagoda is born downward. Therefore, there is a saying that "the upper is the floating slaughter, and the lower is the void".
The main function of the Void Pagoda is also the opposite of the Futu Tower, it penetrates deep into the center of the earth, and is generally used to suppress evil things, and the evil suppressed is also a very high cadre, so it is rarely mentioned and regarded as a bad omen.
Whether it is Xumi or Futu, the requirements for the number of layers are odd, such as three, five, and seven, generally not more than thirteen layers.
That's because among the five elements, the odd number is yang and the even number is yin, whether it is to hold relics or suppress evil things, yang energy must be used.
Qian Ziqiang's sudden remark about the Void Demon Tower made me feel that things had become complicated.
Thinking of the mysterious ancestral home of the Wang family and the imprisoned soul of Luo Bin, the whereabouts of Hu Zitao who is unknown, and the group of red generals who have been dead for more than 40 years, is everything related to this Void Demon Tower, what exactly is it suppressing?
Since it's the Tower of Void, it means that it should extend downward, but I can't see any downward passage in this rotunda, and I don't know if there are any other mechanisms that need to be opened.
Qian Ziqiang obviously has something to hide from us, and what he says cannot be fully believed.
I was about to ask about the Void Demon Tower again, when suddenly the ground under my feet shook violently, like an earthquake, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the white bones trembled all over the ground!
Blackie's screams became irritable, and everyone was unsteady and top-heavy in the violent tremors......
