Chapter 168: The Tomb of the Martyrs

Chen Tang looked up at the rock wall, there were some huge words engraved on it, but the light was not good, so he picked up the torch and walked in, there were dozens of words, Chen Tang read: "The fire is blazing, but the robe is burned, the land of the arrow ruler, the devil who eats people, my blood, the sky is vast, but my heaven is reduced to food, parents, wives and children, mourning everywhere, may my soul be exchanged for a question, dare to ask God, what is the way of heaven?"

Chen Tang pondered for a while, walked around to observe, and found a boulder next to the rock wall was very strange, the front was pitted, but the back was like a knife, leaning on a corner of the rock wall, Chen Tang moved the boulder away, raised the torch and found that there were words on it, Chen Tang held the torch and watched, after a while, Sima Yan found that Chen Tang burst into tears, and then cried silently, Sima Yan panicked, and hurriedly picked up the sound transmission ring and called Xilong and Kang Jiufu Ge'er and others, a few breaths of kung fu Xilong came to the cave first, and saw Chen Tang so panicked, and then Kang Jiu and Xiao Chuanfeng Fu'er also arrived, several people surrounded Chen Tang to ask and comfort, Chen Tang's crying couldn't stop, pointing to the boulder, "Look at it. ”

Kang Jiu and the others hurriedly took the torch and looked at the boulder, it turned out that this was left by a senior of the Fire Sect, on the boulder, the human and demon wars the human race was completely annihilated, and the remaining elite disciples of the sects and beast clans, the descendants of the elders of the sect masters fled here, most of them were only teenagers, and the youngest was only thirteen years old, but they were surrounded by the demons, these young people collectively asked the disciples of the Fire Sect to burn themselves to death, in the flames they chanted this passage on the rock wall, and it was the deputy sect master of the Fire Sect who recorded the matter on the stone, he was seriously injured and dying, and witnessed the death of these juniors before he died, he was sad and inexplicably used his last strength to carve this passage on the rock wall, and left words on the boulder next to him, hoping that if the human race is still alive, someone will find out in countless years.

And the meaning of the passage on the wall is: The fire is burning, but it is my compatriots and comrades-in-arms, a stone's throw away outside, is the demon who eats people, our blood flows under this mighty sky, but my heavenly phase realm has become the food of the demon race, our parents, wives and children are wailing, I am willing to sacrifice my soul in exchange for asking a question to the heavens, what is the way of heaven.

This passage conveyed incomparable grief and indignation, Kang Jiu, Xiao Chuanfeng and the others also burst into tears after reading it, Chen Tang calmed down and ordered, "Order to go down, fence this place, no one is allowed to enter, please come over to Lord Longzu Haizu, I seem to see a piece of beast tooth over there, let them take a look." The black ** domain of his fingers revealed a white bone tip on the black uneven ground.

After a while, Long Zu Haizu entered the cave, after seeing the rock wall and the boulder, the second elder was silent, and when Long Zu gently dug up the black stone and took out the tooth, Long Zu Lao burst into tears, "This is the dragon tooth, the tooth of my dragon clan ancestors, the tooth of the strong above the Mahayana realm." ”

Chen Tang guessed from the message of the boulder that the black circle was a trace of burning, and the potholes inside were the ashes of these people, and due to the age turned into stone, the dragon tooth should be the tooth of the ancestor of the dragon clan who died in battle, and was brought here by the juniors, and the ancestor cultivated to be powerful, and it was likely to be an immortal, so the bones did not turn into ashes in the long years.

In order to protect the items inside, several people exited the cave, and Chen Tang discussed with Longzu Haizu outside, and then Chen Tang ordered the entrance of the cave to be expanded, and no one was allowed to enter it for the time being.

Half a month later, a huge stone tablet stands on the mountain at the entrance of the cave, the golden characters are written: the tomb of the ancestors of the heavenly phase realm, a huge hall is built with ashlar outside the entrance of the cave, it is carved with patterns, after entering the cave that was dug originally, the surrounding is also paved with stone slabs, and then to the inside is a stone tablet of the star stone, on the book: the heroic soul is not dispersed, and the sky is a long song. On the left is the boulder carved by the deputy sect master of the Lihuo Sect, on the right is a square tablet, which records the introduction of when and who found this place, and then to the inside is the place where the ashes turned into rock, and Chen Tang ordered people to enclose it with stone slabs carved with sacrificial inscriptions.

After the completion of the martyr's tomb, the Council of Elders led all the Illusory Sea Sect to pay tribute in the main hall once, and stipulated that a memorial ceremony should be held at this time every year.

After the ceremony was completed, Chen Tang immediately continued the retreat, the discovery of the martyr's tomb stimulated him greatly, before the retreat, he asked the three commanders of the Protector Army to select loyal sergeants with good physique who were no more than twenty years old from the army for training, and asked the city lord of the five cities to select mortals with good character and good physique to form a youth army for training, and he would lead these people to cultivate the simplified version of the immortal golden body after he left the customs.

After the retreat of Chen and Tang, Nanfeng Prefecture continued to develop gradually, and the mortals here burst out with amazing power after breaking free from oppression, and Nanfeng Prefecture quickly prospered and became wealthy, triggering a second wave of migration, and the population exceeded 1.5 billion.

Due to the fact that there are a large number of shops of the beast clan and the sea tribe in Phantom City, there is also an endless stream of merchants coming and going between Sizhou and Nanfeng Prefecture, and even on both sides of the passage through the Demon Forest, there are villages, towns and inns.

The monthly elders' meeting has been held, and the number of scrolls on the wall has been continuing, at first there is only one hundred thousand babies and children with cultivation qualifications, and then it has been slowly rising slightly for four consecutive months, and the fourth month is just one point, and everyone doesn't understand what Chen Tang means, but from the fifth month it suddenly jumped to one hundred thousand people nine people, the sixth month four people, the seventh month reached ten people, the eighth month reached thirty people, and the reserve of qualified spiritual root babies and children reached three hundred and twelve people, at this rate next year, the number of qualified babies and children will exceed three thousand, which is equivalent to double that of Wanyue Prefecture, but the population of Wanyue Prefecture is more than three billion。

The ninth month of the elders' meeting was held as scheduled, and according to the figures reported up, there were thirty-five newborn babies and children with cultivation qualifications for every 100,000 people, and it was very strange for everyone to look at the rising bamboo sticks, and even Long Zu paid attention to this scroll.

Long Zu said: "Chen Tang, why did this number suddenly increase by more than thirty times? You said before that the number would change, you already knew about it?"

These surrounding peak lords and city lords also pricked up their ears to listen, they had attended the meeting a few months before the first-class beast clan, and they also felt strange, Chen Tang said: "I once said that the behavior of cultivators affects mortals, these people are oppressed in the four major states, and their survival is a problem, how can they give birth to excellent babies? Moreover, the image of cultivators is high, and there are even some people with bad character, who would want their children to become like this? Subtly, it has caused a scarcity of qualified babies and children. In my Nanfeng Prefecture, cultivators are not allowed to harm mortals, and they also help mortals build houses and roads, and the number of people who have a good impression of cultivators will naturally increase, and the number of babies born with cultivation qualifications will also increase. ”

Hai Zuqi said: "How do you know this? Even I and Long Zu have lived for tens of thousands of years and don't know this truth. ”

Chen Tang said with a smile: "When I was practicing, I liked to inquire about these numbers, and I found that there was a big difference, so I investigated the situation of cultivators in these places, and found that the qualifications of cultivators who were seriously oppressed by mortals had decreased sharply, so when I built the Illusory Sea Sect, I said that mortals are water, and I am a fish." "The physique that can be cultivated has nothing to do with heredity, this is the conclusion that Chen Tang came to after discovering these strange numbers in the process of escaping, since it has nothing to do with heredity, it has a lot to do with the environment, and the environment acts on the subconscious of mortals, or the depths of the soul, and then transmits it to the next generation.

Everyone was stunned, and Kang Jiu gave a thumbs up, "Chen Tang, take it." After speaking, he stood up and said, "No, it should be the young sect master, I am convinced." After saying that, he bowed.

Everyone stood up and saluted in admiration, "Young Sect Master." ”

Seeing that Chen Tang was convinced, Long Zu smiled, and Haizu was even more happy, he was Chen Tang's teacher.

Chen Tang was in a hurry, "What are you doing here?" ”

After everyone sat down, Chen Tang said: "They are all brothers, there is not so much etiquette, and the drinking party will be canceled like this in the future." Everyone laughed and all objected, and Chen Tang was speechless when he looked at these Laipi.

The number of generals and soldiers selected by the three major commanders of the Council of Elders is reported, and there are about 50,000 people, and the five major cities and government affairs ** There are about 50,000 young soldiers selected in the newspaper, a total of 100,000 people, Chen Tang touched his forehead, this has to help everyone comb the meridians and suppress the spiritual roots other than gold in order to cultivate the simplified version of the immortal golden body, which will tire him to death, but others can't help, this exercise Ling Lao message is not allowed to spread the word, this is the Ling Lao's own exercise, and it simplifies the difficulty of the immortal golden body, he is worried that after the spread of the rumor, all walks of life will begin to use mortals to fight, and it will cause countless casualties.

Chen Tang ordered, "I'm studying the city protection array now, it's almost over, and when the layout is completed, I will hand over these 100,000 people to me, and you train them now." "The Three Commanders should claim to be.

"The Great Array of City Protectors needs a large number of materials, this list is for Sect Master Xue to purchase through the Yundan Firm, except for the Space Stone, which is not to be purchased, everything else is needed. Chen Tang took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xue Tongyuan.

Sect Master Xue took the list and looked at it, "Okay, but I've seen the Yunhua Sect's Sect Protector Array, and it's not strong." ”

Chen Tang said: "This is the ancient sect's protective array, which is a hundred times stronger than theirs. ”

Sect Master Xue was very happy to hear this, "That's good." ”

Chen Tang: "There is also a teleportation array, I plan to string the entire Nanfeng Prefecture with a teleportation array, so that we don't have to take a few days to take the Golden-winged Eagle." ”

Sect Master Xue: "The Heavenly Phase Realm Teleportation Formation has been lost for countless years, it would be great if we could do it." ”

Chen Tang: "It's just a teleportation array for a few people, and it's used to do things, but it reflects the disadvantages of mortals, and they can't use the teleportation array." ”

After the elders' meeting, the drinking party was lively again, Chen Tang called Duan Xingchen to ask about the situation of the new disciples, the previous sixty-four people had been divided into various peaks according to the qualifications of each person's spiritual root, and later combed through the new population of Nanfeng Prefecture, and found more than twenty qualified disciples, originally the Yunhua Sect of Wanyue Sect had already sorted out the outflow of the population, and stuffed all the unqualified mortals to Chen Tang, so it was not bad to be able to select more than ninety people.

Chen Tang said in his heart, this is too slow, it will take a young man to reach the scale of Liuyun Gate, let alone a behemoth like the Four Great Sects. Chen Tang decided to do a good job of the formation as soon as possible and began to select mortals who could cultivate the immortal golden body.

In the following months, a large number of black gold stones, red flame crystals, bronze essence mothers and other materials were successively transported to the Phantom Sea Sect and stored in the newly excavated warehouse of Sword Peak.

Chen Tang walked into the depths of the warehouse, there was a door, and behind it was a larger warehouse, which was 200,000 tons of Tianxing Stone, most of the Tianxing Stone in the Tianxiang Realm were bought by Chen Tang, and now there is not too much in the market, but the people in the Tianxiang Realm do not value the Tianxing Stone, and the integration into the weapon increases the hardness, but it has no tenacity, so it has not attracted attention, only the disciple of the Forgetting Sword Sect in charge of the Tianxing Stone Mine reported the situation of the Phantom Sea Sect's purchase of the Tianxing Stone in large quantities to the sect, Gongsun Luo sent people to understand the situation, and found that the Phantom Sea Sect used to cast the city wall and scolded the nouveau riche and ignored it。

In the past few months, the newborn babies and children in Nanfeng Prefecture have been around 600,000 every month, and every 100,000 people have maintained cultivation qualifications at 50 people, and the proportion of double spirit roots has been rising, which is an unimaginable proportion in the other four states, and there are nearly 2,000 babies and children in reserve, Chen Tang is still not satisfied, this proportion should be high, but no matter how high it is, it will not quench the thirst of the near, and these children will grow up for at least ten years.

Chen Tang began to arrange the city protection array from the second day, his idea was that the seven major cities and the Phantom Sea Sect each set up a large city protection array, and then with the Phantom Sea Sect as the center, covering the entire Phantom Sea Lake and the larger formation of the seven major cities, which required the participation of many people, Chen Tang ordered the Public Works Department to transfer more than 300,000 people to the seven major cities, and he distributed the drawings to the seven city lords to supervise the work, so some laborers appeared in each city, digging ditches and filling in the soil on some roads and city walls in the city, Chen Tang refined the formation base of the formation node in the Phantom Water Peak, and after digging in various places, he personally went to load the formation base, and then buried the enlarged version of the formation diagram made of space stone intermittently along the dug ravine, This is like the world in the previous life, the formation base is a machine for protection or attack, the space stone is connected to the formation eye along the line, and the central spirit stone is powered to stimulate the formation base, of course, it is much more complex than the machine wire, each formation base needs to depict a complex set of formations, and the space stone connecting the formation base also needs to depict the formation, so Chen Tang is not light.

After three months of busyness, the basic protection and attack formation framework has been laid out, and other functions can be added continuously, this process requires Chen Tang to continue to learn new formations, and this process may last for several years or more than ten years.

After finishing his work, Chen Tang gathered the main people such as Sect Master Xue and the peak masters into the belly of the mountain behind the main hall, which was the eye and center of the entire formation, and everyone watched curiously around a circular platform. The center of the circular platform is a nine-sided shape, and the nine lines spread outward, and there are six circles at the edge of the platform, and there is a small circle between the nine-sided and the small circle on the north side, and the nine-sided and small circles are depicted with complex lines. Nine stone piers were erected on the side of the platform, each with a groove on it.
