Chapter 1193: The Prophecy of Eight Stone Carvings
"The scene depicted in this stone carving should be when the Xuanmiao Nunnery was first founded, so why did the Emperor Zilin or the ancestors of the Xuanmiao Nunnery leave such a stone carving? Is it just to commemorate that time?" Ling Yu stroked his earlobe and guessed softly.
He looked at the stone carving and lingered for a long time, and when his gaze swept to the man standing beside the Zilin Emperor, Ling Yu's heart moved. Because of this man, he knew the same.
Ling Yu had never been to the ancestral land of Tianjimen and Dihongxuan, but he had been to Huang Xin Pavilion before because of Huang Shengtong's wedding. There, he saw the man carved in the stone in front of him. And the man in the stone carving is the ancestor of Huang Xin Pavilion, Huang Kui.
In the first stone carving, the foothold of those cultivators outside the Heavenly Gate is very particular. Huang Kui and Emperor Zilin sat around with the other two, although the other two Ling Yu didn't know each other, he could also guess that the other two should be the ancestors of Tianxuanmen and Dihongxuan.
Ling Yu took two steps back slightly, and once again stared towards the stone carving.
Although I had already guessed the identities of a few people, what was the purpose of this group of people gathering outside the Heavenly Gate? This Heavenly Gate was somewhat familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. Moreover, the eyes of these people are filled with joy, what is the good thing?
Puzzled, Ling Yu shook his head and looked towards the second stone carving.
In the second stone carving, Huang Kui and the others have disappeared, and only the Emperor Zilin and some cultivators in uniform clothes are standing outside a large hall. And that hall is now the main hall of Xuanmiaoan. It seems that Emperor Zilin has created Xuanmiaoan.
She was dressed in a purple robe, facing the Nine Heavens, with a pious expression. Behind her, the disciples of Xuan Miao Nunnery respectfully knelt behind the Zilin Emperor and looked up at the sky.
The content of the second stone carving is extremely simple, and it should be the sacred text of the Xuanmiaoan. However, the only thing that puzzled Ling Yu was, what were these people bowing down to?
In the third stone carving, there is no longer the figure of the Zilin Emperor. The place shown on the stone carving is not the Western Desert today, but the scene from many years ago.
Ling Yu can be sure that although the environment of the outside world in the stone carvings is vastly different from the present, it is indeed the Western Desert that used to be. Because in the midst of the large green grass, stands the main hall of the Xuanmiaoan.
That's right, the Xuanmiao Nunnery in the stone carvings is not a thousand miles of yellow sand, but a paradise with fragrant grass and clear rivers. It is hard to imagine that the former Western Desert was so fertile.
In this stone carving, many of the disciples of the Xuanmiaoan gather outside the Xuanmiaoan, and they look intently at the west, with a look of horror in their eyes.
Ling Yu followed their line of sight and found that in the distance of the Xuanmiao Nunnery, billowing dust and smoke had fallen from the sky, and the yellow dust and smoke were like a sea of sand that had destroyed the world, slowly flowing towards the entire Western Desert.
Wherever the yellow sand passed, the grass and ancient trees were swallowed up, and the stream was instantly annihilated, turning into a place of dead silence. And the flowers, birds, fish and insects in the mountains, forests and streams have also turned into dry bones at the yellow sand. It is as if the yellow sand contains the power of time, weathering all things.
Looking at the contents of the third stone carving, Ling Yu frowned slightly, he finally guessed why the West Desert was called the West Desert. It turns out that there was such a catastrophe here in the endless years ago. Dust and sand swept away, killing life, this is a catastrophe of annihilation.
Just as Ling Yu wanted to look at the fourth stone carving, he suddenly stopped. He returned to the third stone carving and paused for a long time, silent.
Ling Yu had been to the Western Desert more than once, and even he had encountered the terrifying Chaos Sand Sea in the Ancient Six Realms. But even the sea of sand is so dangerous is not necessarily as turbulent as the sea of sand carved in this stone carving, or even ...... The sea of sand on the stone carvings reminded Ling Yu of another thing.
The reason why the sea of sand was able to kill people and animals was entirely because of the huge storm and the yellow sand that was swept up by the storm like a sharp blade. So, even if the Sandstorm kills the creatures, it will only pierce them or blow their flesh and bones apart.
But there is obviously another power in the sea of sand in this stone carving, the power of time!
Ling Yu didn't guess out of thin air, but made a judgment after careful consideration.
Because after the creatures on the stone carvings were swept away by the wind and sand, there were no wounds on their bodies that were pierced by sand grains, but they were completely stripped of their flesh and bones and turned into white bones.
If they are killed by a butcher with a sharp sword, then even if they turn into white bones, there will be traces of flesh and blood on the white bones. But the white bones that had been destroyed by the wind and sand were as clean as new, as if they had been weathered by the years. So, it must be the power of time.
Watching the paradise of the Western Desert turn into a sea of sand, Ling Yu's mood became heavier and heavier. Although there were time monarchs among the Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation who had been haunted in Huaxia before, Ling Yu had carefully probed and found that there were no signs of weathering on the creatures killed by the Time Sovereign. In other words, the person who truly wields the power of time will cultivate far better than the Time Sovereign.
"It seems that the real black hand is really not the Twelve Sovereigns of the Flood Desolation, let alone the Red Ghost and the Thunder King, there must be someone else behind them!" Ling Yu frowned and pondered.
If you follow Ling Yu's speculation, I'm afraid that the black hand had already made a move against Huaxia Ancestral Star long before the Western Desert was refined into a desert. After so many years of time, what terrifying realm will his cultivation reach?
Ling Yu was sure that the black hand must not be dead. To be able to turn such a vast western desert into a sea of sand, how could it fall so easily in time?
Moreover, the catastrophe suffered by China in this world has once again proved that the black hand is indeed still in the world. The opening of the martial arts era this time is a sign that he has reappeared in the world.
Ling Yu took a deep breath and felt a chill inexplicably. He tightened his shirt and continued to look towards the next stone carving.
Compared with the first three stone carvings, the content on the fourth stone carving is much simpler.
The scene depicted in the fourth stone carving is the Xuanmiaoan not long ago. A group of disheveled elders frolicked in front of the hall, and beside them was a group of Chinese men with numb expressions. And in the corner of the stone carving, a row of spiritual positions is depicted, covered with dust.
Ling Yu looked at the contents of the fourth stone carving and fell into deep thought for a while.
It stands to reason that no one has cleaned the spiritual position in the Elder's Pavilion for hundreds of years, and since no one has cleaned the spiritual position, no one will discover the existence of the secret passage. This means that this passage has not been entered by any living beings for at least hundreds of years.
So, when did this stone carving come down? Ling Yu brushed the stone carving with her finger and found that it was stained with a lot of dust, and it seemed that the stone carving had been carved for more than 1,000 years. In this way, there is only one possibility, and that is that the stone carving is a prophecy.
Thinking of this, Ling Yu quickly looked towards the fifth stone carving. Since it has been guessed that the stone carving is a prophecy, and the content on the fourth stone carving is the current Xuanmiaoan, then the fifth stone carving should be the future scene of Xuanmiaoan.
Although I don't know who these eight stone carvings came from, since it can accurately predict the events of the afterlife, it will definitely allow Ling Yu to see the future in advance.
On the fifth stone carving, an ice-blue phoenix rises into the sky. And under the wings of the ice phoenix, there was a beautiful woman floating, and that woman was Duanmu Yuhan.
Duanmu Yuhan's eyebrows were dotted with an ice-blue mark, which was a sign of awakening. It seems that one day, Yuhan will also be able to Fengxiao for nine days and ascend to the immortal realm.
Duanmu Yuhan's foothold was above the main hall of Xuanmiao'an, and it was speculated that Xuanmiao'an was not destroyed in his own hands, which made Ling Yu finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Ling Yu looked at Duanmu Yuhan on the stone carving, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently raised a smile. He and Duanmu Yuhan hadn't seen each other for several years, but he felt as if the other party had never left him. Seeing the Duanmu Yuhan on the stone carving, Ling Yu was naturally happy for her.
Ling Yu walked to the sixth stone carving and stopped to watch.
The sixth stone carving is different from the first five, and if the first five stone carvings depict the past and future of the temple, then the sixth stone carving shows a scene that has nothing to do with the temple.
On the sixth stone carving, there is an engraved picture of a magical pattern that when Ling Yu only looks at it, he feels that time flies and the vicissitudes of heaven and earth.
On this stone carving, it is a state of harmony, there is no sun, moon and stars, no mountains and green waters, only endless darkness and creatures that occasionally show their bodies in the obscurity.
The reason why Ling Yu felt that time flew by after a glance was because he had personally experienced the scene in the sixth stone carving. Because there, it was the Hongmeng era.
When Ling Yu practiced the Hongmeng style in the three-style sword technique for the first time, he felt the breath of the Hongmeng era. Later, Ling Yu crossed the Chaos Tribulation, and also traced some traces of the Hongmeng era when he was going upstream along the long river of time and space.
Therefore, now seeing the content on the sixth stone carving, Ling Yu guessed that the scene and time depicted on it must have occurred in the distant Hongmeng era.
"It turns out that the sixth stone carving depicts the beginning of heaven and earth!" Ling Yu thought thoughtfully.
Regarding the sixth stone carving, Ling Yu had no doubts. Since these stone carvings can be extrapolated from the past and the future, it is not surprising that it can reflect the Hongmeng era.
Ling Yu paused for a moment, came to the seventh stone carving, and looked intently.
There are many creatures on the seventh stone carving, there are human races, there are demon races, there are strong people in the star sea, and there are even many mysterious creatures that Ling Yu has never seen.
In this stone carving, Ling Yu saw Nangong Yu, saw the Red Ghost and the Thunder King, saw Mr. and Daoyi, and even saw many supreme beings with immortal mist on their bodies.
A snow lotus stands proudly in the sky, that is the Kunlun Demon King. A firebird bathes in golden mangs, and that is a red bird. Even, Ling Yu saw her figure on it.
In the seventh stone carving, the Huaxia cultivator and the Xinghai powerhouse fight, and above the people's heads, there is a brilliant brilliance, and those brilliance is emitted by the four heavenly gates and the Jianmu Divine Tree. At this time, Huaxia happened to manifest the Four Heavenly Gates and the Jianmu Divine Tree.
Ling Yu retracted his gaze, a thick melancholy flashing between his eyebrows. It turns out that the scene shown in this stone carving is the ancestral star of Huaxia at this time.
The sixth stone carving is the beginning of the sea of stars, that is, the past. And the scene presented by the seventh stone carving is the present, so isn't the eighth stone carving ...... Future?!
As soon as this thought appeared, two rays of light instantly burst out of Ling Yu's eyes. His hands trembled unconsciously at the thought of shock in his heart.
Ling Yu gritted her teeth, calmed down, and looked towards the eighth stone carving.
