Chapter Twenty-Four: Zhou Cun Tells the Secret

After Sun Yan passed through the portal at the entrance of Homesick Road, he found that he had returned to the high platform of the Terracotta Warrior Square, with Zhou Cun and Zhou Jie standing aside.

"What's going on? This is coming out? ”

Not only did Sun Yan himself not figure out the situation, but all the puppet sect inheritors present around him, including Zhou Zhennei, all looked at each other.

At this time, a strange thing happened, the space of the pillar of light, which had been standing quietly in the center of the high platform, suddenly flashed with dazzling brilliance, and soon transformed into a huge torii gate. On the other side of the door, two rows of pillars of light extend out, creating a straight passage with no end in sight. Above the archway, in the middle of the ancient blank plaque, three black seal characters are slowly emerging - the road to the hometown.

"Homecoming? Do you say ......"

"Is this Sun Yan actually recognized by the way home? But he only finished the Wangxiang Road, and the homesick road has not yet passed. ”

"Is it really the way home, can we go home? Woohoo......"

Zhou Cun stared at the archway with a shocked face, turning a blind eye to the dementia or madness of the children and grandchildren around him. A moment later, he fell to his knees and couldn't hold back his tears.

The inheritors of the puppet gate all knelt down with Zhou Cun, dressed in a new style, and those who knew at a glance that they were coming from the old feudal society, many of them were bowing to the archway door incessantly.

"Sun Yan Xiaoyou, please bow to the old man!" Zhou Cun quickly regained his composure, got up and gave Sun Yan a deep look.

"Ancestor must not!" Sun Yan hurriedly knelt down on one knee and raised his hands to support Zhou Cun's arms.

"Sun Xiaoyou, please change places to talk with the old man. Jie'er, come over too. Zhou Cun pulled Sun Yan off the stage and instructed the old man beside him: "Zhou Wen, you and Zhou Zhi are staying here, everyone is not allowed to leave, and those who disobey will be sent to the soul prison immediately, and anyone who dares to approach the way home will be killed immediately." ”

Sun Yan followed Zhou Cun out of the square not far away, and saw a Zhumen Mansion surrounded by a courtyard wall. Entering the courtyard, Zhou Cun asked Zhou Jie to wait in the pavilion in the garden temporarily, and then pulled Sun Yan into a side room.

"Sun Xiaoyou, if I'm not mistaken, you came here through Divine Thoughts, right?" After closing the door, Zhou Cun stared at Sun Yan directly and asked.

Sun Yan didn't know how he saw it, but he didn't hide it, "The younger generation did come with the help of divine thoughts. ”

Zhou Cun nodded, "This location is the top secret of my puppet sect, even the inheritors of each generation, they don't know it when they are alive. Lao Yu didn't dare to ask Sun Xiaoyou how he found out, but I implore Xiaoyou not to mention this matter to anyone again. ”

After getting Sun Yan's assurance, Zhou Cuncai continued: "Has Sun Xiaoyou ever heard of the three islands of the Ten Continents? ”

"Ten continents and three islands?" Sun Yan seemed to have seen it in some book, thought for a while and asked, "What the ancestor said is Penglai and the abbot's divine mountains and immortal islands?" ”

Zhou Cun just didn't know when he saw him, and secretly wondered if he had guessed wrong? Busy asked him again: "Xiaoyou's surname is Sun, do you know the Sun family on the side of the Yellow River?" ”

When Sun Yan heard him ask, he was taken aback at first, and then said with a gloomy expression: "I don't know how the ancestor will know about the Sun family." ”

Zhou Cun observed his words and said hurriedly: "You are the Yellow River Sun family?" Dare to ask if it is a clan or a branch? What is the relationship between the current patriarch and you? ”

Seeing that Sun Yan didn't answer, Zhou Cun smiled and waved his hand, "Little friend, you can rest assured, I have a great relationship with the Sun family, and I am a friend rather than an enemy." ”

Hearing him say this, Sun Yan stood up and took two steps back and forth, before holding the back of the chair tightly and holding back his grief and saying, "Sun family, I am the only one left." ”

"What ......"

After listening to Sun Yan finish telling the ins and outs, Zhou Cun sat silently for a long time before gritting his teeth and asking, "So Xian Sun'er is just guessing, the matter was done by the corpse gate?" ”

When the Sun family was in trouble, Sun Yan was too young, and he had been hiding with his grandmother and did not directly participate. Except for sporadic inquiries about some Miao people who had appeared there, there was no clue about anything else. Now seeing Zhou Cun asking, he had no choice but to say: "The younger generation was young at the time, and he was afraid that he would be killed after being traced, so he didn't dare to say his background, but I guess that the power to compete for the corpse will not be too ...... after all."

Zhou Cun saw Sun Yan talking about the back, and saw that his eyes were a little strange, so he understood his thoughts, and sighed and said, "Xian Grand'er is too worried." My puppet sect is mainly based on manipulating puppets, and generally does not use corpses, and there is no way to refine corpses, and it is useless to get corpses. ”

"In addition, the old man sees that his grandson is determined, and he must have a plan for revenge, so he won't say much. What I said next, the virtuous grandson must keep it in mind, and never tell the second person. ”

Zhou Cun looked at Sun Yan and slowly continued: "Since you are the descendant of the Sun family, it is not surprising that you can cultivate divine thoughts, but why don't you know the three islands of the ten continents?" ”

Sun Yan didn't know what he meant by asking, his divine thoughts had nothing to do with the Sun family, "The younger generation really hasn't heard of it." He replied truthfully.

Zhou Cun Zhengse said: "I understand, even the descendants of my Zhou family don't know this secret now." In fact, your Sun family ancestors, like me, are all from the three islands of the Ten Continents. ”

"Ancestor, you ......"

Zhou Cun saw that he didn't believe it, so he waved his hand and said: "After you listen to me, the so-called Ten Continents is actually the location of the ten largest sect forces in the Ten Continents and Three Islands. Back then, when I was exploring a secret realm on the sea, there were six core disciples belonging to different sects, who were accidentally brought here by the spatial vortex, and I and Sun Wannian, the ancestor of your Sun family, were among them. ”

"After we came here, we were regarded as immortals by the world, and because we couldn't find a way to go back for a while, we had to find a place to live and reproduce, hoping to pass on our abilities. However, we soon found out that the people here are not able to practice the gods, and as for the descendants, my son is fine, and my grandchildren are not able to do the same. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Cun seemed to recall the past, and after a long time, he continued: "In disappointment, four of the six people who were there led their clansmen to live in seclusion and no longer ask about the world, while my ancestor and I lived in the world for ten thousand years, but we became excellent people and demon slayers. ”

"Because the descendants have no divine thoughts, the two of us agreed with each other not to pass on this secret. Because my puppet sect is mainly about making and controlling puppets, the essence of which lies in forging souls, so in the realm of ten continents and three islands, as a core disciple, I have such a place to hide my soul, and I have been able to retain my soul. ”

"When I died, I left behind the method of thanksgiving as a certificate, and only those who inherited it could enter, so that one day one of my descendants would be able to complete the journey home. The soul dies and returns to his hometown, and at the end of the way home, there should be a way to return to the boundary of the ten continents and three islands. ”

"Ancestor, isn't this pendant yours? Can't even get out? Sun Yan asked curiously.

Zhou Cun shook his head, "Although this hidden soul chain is mine, I can only collect and release the souls of outsiders. And the descendants of my puppet sect who have inherited the method of thanking guests can only leave through the way home. ”

"This homecoming road is said to be a trial place set up in the hidden soul chain by an ancestor of the puppet sect of my ten continents and three islands, and it cannot be destroyed, the purpose is to prevent the soul of the inheritor of my sect from being obtained by others, and secondly, it is also so that the genius disciples who have completed the trial can return to the sect."

Sun Yan interjected: "Ancestor, you just said that only inheritors can enter, then I ......."

Zhou Cun said solemnly: "That's why I came to you." Except for the inheritors of my Zhou family, who will be directly accepted here after thanking the guests, there is absolutely no way for other souls to take the initiative to enter. It's amazing that you have divine thoughts, but who of the six of us didn't have secrets back then? Maybe it's Sun Wannian who left some way for you to gain divine thoughtsβ€”but even then, you can only find this place, but you will never be able to break it, let alone get in. ”

"Then I'm ......"

Zhou Cun's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his voice became excited, "You can come here because you are not a soul at all, but a primordial spirit!" ”

"What!!" Sun Yan was shocked, this is too appalling. The primordial god is the same as the soul, everyone has it, and it is possible to control the primordial god to leave the body, so isn't it about to become an immortal?

Zhou Cun nodded, "You don't have to be surprised, you can only come in if you use your divine thoughts to manipulate the Yuan Shen out of your body, and there is no other possibility." I am telling you these secrets just to let you know that whether it is the inheritance of your Sun family or your other adventures, your cultivation methods are very remarkable, and you must take them seriously. You must know that even in the realm of the ten continents and three islands, there are very few people who can control the primordial gods, so you have to be careful in the future, if there is a leak, the consequences can be imagined. ”

Sun Yan knew that Zhou Cun was for his good, so he hurriedly thanked him: "Junior, thank you for the reminder from the ancestor." But he still didn't recover from the shock, it seems that he was able to use his divine thoughts on the way to Wangxiang, which was also related to the original god.

"Besides," the shock brought by Zhou Cun is not over yet, "by chance, your Yuan Shen has also been trained in the karmic fire pool, and in the future, whether it is the cultivation speed or the strength of the divine soul, it will far surpass others." ”

"Karmic fire?" Sun Yan knew that what he had encountered in Wangxiang Seventh was karmic fire, but he believed that it was simulated by some means, could it be that he could still bring hell here?

Zhou Cun explained: "Only the soul of a sinner will be burned by karma in hell, so it is impossible for the primordial spirit to have this opportunity. However, the karmic fire pool on Wangxiang Road has really attracted a trace of fire from hell, so your opportunity is absolutely rare, and you should cherish it. ”

Sun Yan nodded dumbly, he received too much information at once, and he needed to digest it well.
