Chapter 569: The Mystery of the Ancestral Hall
While waiting, I couldn't help but ask Empress Daozu about it again.
"Your Majesty the Empress, what kind of person is Dao Ancestor?"
"How can I say this, everyone has a man in their hearts." The empress thought for a moment and said.
Everyone has a Dao Ancestor in their hearts, and for Xiao Pu Jia in the illusion hallway, Dao Ancestor is like a master and a father.
For Liufeng Tianzun, Dao Ancestor is an elegant Taoist priest. gave her a very elegant name, flowing back to snow.
It seems to be like the sun covered by light clouds, and ethereal like the snow of the wind.
The Dao Ancestor in the eyes of the broken army is chivalrous, killing one person in ten steps, and not leaving a line for thousands of miles. Because they first met in Caiyun City, they fought against the demonic beasts for seven days and seven nights.
The Taoist ancestor in the eyes of the greedy wolf is amazingly talented, mysterious and treacherous, there is no one before and no one after him.
In the eyes of the demon clan, the revenant, and the spirits, Dao Ancestor is their savior. The Dharma preaches the six paths, teaching sentient beings the Dharma of cultivation and saving them from calamity.
Without the Demon Dao Patriarch, there would be no current demon clan, and there would be no current revenant soul cultivation. There will be no Qingqiu Fox, there will be no Bai Wuya, there will be no Bei Yingxiu, and there will be no scholar Helian Yao......
The five elements swim with me at will, and all beings in the four seas are destined. Mandao Xiongguan is really like iron, and the nameless palace is full of good words.
Thinking of the great achievements left by Daozu, I am full of emotion in my heart.
Although my kendo attainments have long surpassed those of Dao Ancestor, his personality charm and the spirit of the Six Paths of Dharma Transmission are something I can never match.
"Your Majesty the Empress, in your eyes, what kind of person is Dao Ancestor?" I asked.
In the eyes of Lone, he is of course a gentleman unparalleled in the world. What Li Bai, Song Yu, and Sima are similar, they can't all be compared. A piece of paper is innocent, ten thousand heart marks, Hugh asked me, how is the swordsmanship! ”
The empress commented on Daozu, her eyebrows and eyes stretched, and the corners of her mouth were smiling.
From her words, I seemed to see a majestic and tall man walking in the world, writing glorious poems with the most unrestrained swordsmanship.
"It seems that I will never be able to compare to him in my life." I said with a sigh.
"You don't have to compare yourself to him, because you weren't born in that era. Current events create heroes, and the demon disciples at that time needed an amazing talent to lead them to stand in the heavens and the earth with their eyebrows raised. The Nine Shadow Empress said.
"And now?" I asked.
"Now the Demon Dao needs a Demon Dao Ancestor who will make the Demon Dao immortal and live forever in the world. It is easy to succeed, but it is difficult to succeed; It is easy to succeed, but it is difficult to keep merit; It is easy to keep the merits, but it is difficult to achieve the ultimate success. Xie Lan, you are as great as him. ”
From the moment I took charge of the Demon Dao Soul Banner, I knew that I would never be as great as him. All along, I have been following his footsteps, leading the Demon Dao disciples forward with heavy trepidation.
There have been times when I was overwhelmed, and there were times when my will wavered.
However, in the end, I gritted my teeth and persevered.
Because I love the Demon Dao, I am willing to do all the courage in my life for the disciples of the Demon Dao.
Fortunately, along the way, I have not failed them. The Demon Dao is invincible and invincible, and finally jumped out of the chessboard of fate, even the Heavenly Dao is helpless.
There is my credit for this, but the biggest credit is still those demonic disciples who have been red for thousands of years.
The Demon Dao Patriarch is great enough, but it is precisely because he is so great that if a person goes too far in front, even the broken army and the greedy wolf will not be able to keep up with him.
And I am different, since the re-emergence of the demonic path in this life, I have grown up with them, experienced one battle after another of life and death together, and crossed one cultivation realm after another.
Three thousand years ago, there were only five Heavenly Venerables in the Demon Dao, and today there are many Demon Dao talents, all of whom can fight the cosmic void with me.
Just when I was talking to the empress about Dao Ancestor, four people came out of Cangwu Village. The leader was an old man in a cyan robe, with white hair and an old look. Leaning on a cane, he staggered. Left and right followed by two middle-aged people to help each other, a man and a woman, both dressed as farmers, it seems that they should be husband and wife. behind
She was followed by a young girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
At this time, it was dusk, twilight was rising, and the smoke was curling, and it was peaceful.
I stood there and watched them come by.
"As early as many years ago, I heard that there was a great ancestor in the Demon Dao, whose name was Xie Lan." The old man walked up to me, looked at me and said.
"Ghosts and gods are in the dark, thinking about themselves." I pronounced the proverb and officially identified myself.
After the end of the Dharma era, the world no longer shy away from the theory of ghosts and gods.
When the Jade Emperor fell, the Three Realms wept bitterly, and when the Ziwei Emperor fell, the stars were gloomy, and these races could feel it.
Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, gods, and demons.
These existences, which were not recognized in the era of the end of the law, have now been accepted by the human race, and even the battle of the gods has become their after-dinner conversation.
And among all the forces in the Three Realms, the Demon Dao is undoubtedly the most talkative.
Rummaging through the entire world, the Demon Dao has the most wars.
Empty Shadow Mountain, Cold Wilderness, Guanwai, Xiaobai Mountain, Shanhaiguan, Taiyin Mountain, Helan Mountain......
Every bloody battle touches the nerves of the human race, and my name spreads all over the world.
In the battle of returning to the ruins, I returned to the ruins with my sword, killing countless Yin Si armies and killing countless hellish demons. Although the Terrans will not know the details of this war, they do know the final outcome.
Yin Si and Nuwa's allied forces attacked the ruins of the Demon Dao Ancestral Court, and finally returned with a crushing defeat.
In folklore, the Demon Dao Patriarch Xie Lan dared to disobey even the Heavenly Dao, and in the future, he would take the Demon Dao disciples to fight against God.
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
I thought I was famous enough to even be the master of Xie Yun, the guardian of the current Terran race. However, after I revealed my identity, I didn't see any fluctuations in the old man's face.
Although the two middle-aged people were a little surprised, they didn't realize much. Only the girl, staring at me with burning eyes, seemed a little excited.
"I don't know what happened to the Demon Dao Patriarch coming to Cangwu Village?" The old man asked.
"This is his hometown, and I'm here to visit the place where he was born." I said.
"I don't know who he is in the mouth of the Demon Dao Patriarch?" Although the old man's expression still looked the same, his tone had changed.
"Demon Dao Sect Patriarch."
The old man was silent, and his crutche-holding arm began to tremble slightly.
Immediately after that, my whole body began to tremble.
His expression also changed, and he lost all his composure.
"Dad, is he telling the truth?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Grandpa, speak quickly, is what he said true?" The girl asked excitedly.
The old man did not answer their words, neither affirming nor denying them.
He glanced at me with a complicated expression and said, "I don't know if the legend left by my ancestors is true or not, but there should be something you want to know in the ancestral hall of Cangwu Village, come with me." ”
Cangwu Village is built on the mountain, and the houses are low and mostly wooden.
The population of the village is small, with only more than 100 households. At this time, it was dusk dinner, and through the chaimen, you could see that they were eating in the courtyard, and the family was sitting in a group, enjoying themselves.
If you put aside the things related to the Demon Dao Patriarch, this place is actually no different from other mountain villages, but it is a little more conservative and does not like to contact outsiders.
The ancestral hall is in the innermost part of the village, built against the mountain, and is sheltered by dense forests outside.
The layout of this village seems to be to cover the existence of the ancestral hall, and if it wasn't for the old man who brought us here, we wouldn't have thought that there would be such an ancestral hall here.
The style of the ancestral hall is very old, built of black stone of unknown material, and after many years of wind and rain, the dark stone has a metallic luster.
The stone door was closed, and the cracks of the door were closed by dust, and it had not been pushed open for many years.
It is said to be an ancestral hall, but in fact it is more like a courtyard, like someone's home many years ago.
The biggest secret of Cangwu Village is this ancestral hall, because the most important point in the ancestral training is that no one can open the ancestral hall, and all the descendants of the Xie family must ensure the safety of the ancestral hall and not let any outsiders come into contact with it.
Otherwise, all the people in Cangwu Village will die, and after death, they will be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell and never be reborn.
No one knows what is in the ancestral hall, only the successive patriarchs will know some legends related to the ancestral hall that ordinary villagers do not know.
Thousands of years later, even they doubt the veracity of the legend.
However, the ancestral teachings have been preserved and evolved into a tradition.
Tradition itself is revered, and when it is accompanied by stern warnings, it becomes a mystical cultural belief.
It is precisely because of this mysterious cultural belief that has influenced the principles of life of the villagers of Cangwu Village for countless millennia, allowing them to live in a corner and easily avoid contact with outsiders.
Although in the past 100 years, many people in the village have gone out of the mountains to settle down in the outside society and live a modern life, but no one has ever come back to destroy this mysterious belief culture.
On the contrary, these people who go out will especially respect this culture, and they will be more respectful of the ancestral hall. This place of peace is my hometown, although the world is big, but they can only get peace of mind in Cangwu Village.
Don't worry about the present, don't worry about the future.
……
Now, my people are standing in front of the stone gate of the ancestral hall.
Behind me were all the villagers of Cangwu Village, and the Empress was also standing with them.
I knew all of them were staring at me, with different expressions.
There is excitement, confusion, worry, expectation, and more anxiety.
Sometimes the mystery itself is worthy of respect, and not everyone likes to reveal it.
But since I'm here, the ancestral hall must be opened.
Because this is the place where the Demon Dao Patriarch's life originated, no matter how long the ancestral hall exists, it is always waiting for my arrival.
Only here, will I merge with the life trajectory of the Demon Dao Patriarch, master the complete power of fate, and become a true child of destiny.
The dusty stone door was pushed open by me with a creak, and then a sigh came out of my heart. "Ghosts and gods are in the dark, thinking about themselves."
