In the north of the West Rain Palace, in addition to hundreds of three-story small buildings for the elders and disciples to live in, there is only one building that can be called majestic, it faces the lake, is as high as dozens of zhang, has seven tower-like spires, supported by heavy white stone pillars, the huge bronze door is carved with more than a dozen ancient gods, and the mottled stone steps up to a thousand steps are steep and precipitous, and it looks like a temple from a distance.

In addition to respecting the emperor, the barbarians also believe in the ancient gods, this belief seems to come from a more ancient era, when there was no human emperor appeared, the monks were in a period of ignorance, they did not understand the essence of heaven and earth and the Great Dao, based on the five elements and yin and yang, shaped more than a dozen powerful gods, they presided over the wind and rain of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon and thunder, even if the emperors rose later, the human monks entered the prosperous era, this ancient belief has been passed down among mortals.

And during the 50,000 years of wandering in the dark, this primitive belief began to revive and flourish again among mortals, and although the monks no longer worshipped these gods, it was a time of great hardship and despair, and the monks would not stop them from doing anything to fill their tribe with hope, and they quietly watched this ancient worship rise among the human race, and even they began to cast this ancient sacrificial temple for mortals.

Among the barbarians of Nanling in the human world, there are also remnants of similar beliefs.

And this shrine in the West Rain Palace is undoubtedly a product of the same faith.

"Which god do you believe in?" Su Qi asked in a low voice as he stood at the foot of the stone steps, knowing that different tribes of the barbarians often worshipped different gods.

"Gods?" Chang Su was stunned for a moment, followed Su Qi's gaze to the bronze door, and said in a trance, "So you mean this...... Although we are also barbarians, we do not worship any gods, this temple is just built in the style commonly used by barbarians, as for the barbarian clan, the so-called gods have not been mentioned often over the years," Chang Su seemed to be not interested in this, and said very casually, "After all, there are no gods in the world, and this belief is just to comfort mortals, and it has no effect on us monks." ”

Su Qi nodded, he didn't believe in God either.

"Go in yourself. Chang Su pointed to the bronze gate, "The three half-emperors are waiting for you inside." ”

"Aren't you going in?" Su Qi glanced at Chang Su, her short hair shining in the sun.

Chang Su was very angry, "They didn't call me again! And I still have to go to the Law Enforcement Hall to get the ...... fine."

Su Qi held back a smile, waved his hand, and stepped on the stone steps.

The moment his feet fell, his face changed.

An unusually heavy pressure fell on him, as if it were a vast mountain range.

"This ......" Su Qi turned his head with difficulty, and found that Chang Su was already laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.

"I forgot to tell you that there is a ban on the Half Emperor in this temple," Chang Su stood at the foot of the stone steps, stretched out his hand and gently pushed Su Qi, pushing the remaining half of Su Qi's body into the stone steps, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she said happily, "The thousand-level stone steps are just a thousand-level stone step, for a sword cultivator who can defeat a Tianyuan Realm cultivator, it's nothing, right?"

This is definitely revenge.

Su Qi rolled his eyes, but he took hundreds of books from the library building and almost demolished the secret method pavilion, so he was still a little disappointed, so he shrugged his shoulders and began to walk up step by step.

"Kindly remind you, the higher you go, the greater the pressure, but you can rest assured that the pressure will not exceed your strength too much. Chang Su stood vigorously and looked at Su Qi with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

This stone staircase is not just a matter of pressure.

This is still a path that can be seen from the origin of the monks.

It was built by Li Tiangang, the half-emperor who was in charge of the temple, and it can explore the origin and explore people's hearts.

And at this moment, watching Su Qi climb the stairs, it was far more than Chang Su alone, after the battle between Su Qi and Yan Qiao, many elders were interested in Su Qi, although they did not show up at this time, they all hid in the shadows, quietly looking at this young man.

The Law Enforcement Hall is also in the North Palace, it is not big, from the outside it looks no different from the three-story small building where ordinary elders live, but the monks who are lucky enough or unfortunate enough to enter will find that there is far more space inside than it seems, especially the three underground floors used as a law enforcement place, which is a nightmare for many disciples who have made mistakes.

Yan Qiao squatted at the door of the Law Enforcement Palace, staring at the temple in the distance, from here he could clearly see the thousand-step stone steps and a small figure, he smashed his mouth, and said vaguely, "Climbing this stone step is not a problem for him, I want to know what a few half-emperors can see on him." ”

Standing beside him was the hall master of the Law Enforcement Palace, the tall female cultivator, and she said curiously, "I heard that he is the descendant of the Cloud Emperor. ”

"Well, but this swordsmanship is more like that person. Yan Qiao raised his feet and changed to a more comfortable position, "Since he is from the Pure Yuan Realm, most of them are the disciples of that person, right?"

"Are you talking about a short-lived sword immortal on the realm road?" the female cultivator raised her eyebrows, "If it is really a descendant of the sword immortal, then it will be interesting." ”

Yan Qiao turned his head, "Mo Bai....... You don't know something, do you?"

The female cultivator named Mo Bai stood for a moment, as if she was hesitating about something, and after a while, she lowered her voice, "Seven thousand years ago, although the sword fairy came in a hurry and left in a hurry, it still caused a lot of turmoil among the barbarians, I heard that the princess of the barbarian tribe was in love with him at that time, but the sword fairy seemed to have love, so he simply rejected the princess......"

"Where did the barbarian princess come from?" Yan Qiao glared, very puzzled, but after staring at Mo Bai for a moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something, "You, what you said, shouldn't you be the guy who has a strong sense of revenge and is known as the old witch?"

Mo Bo nodded awe-inspiringly.

The surprise on Yan Qiao's face didn't dissipate for a long time, but then it turned into schadenfreude, he stared at Su Qixiao's back, and said with a happy smile, "It's really interesting, I can't wait for the news of the arrival of the Sword Immortal Heir to reach the barbarians." ”

"No matter what, it won't change the fact that you were defeated by an Empty Bright Realm Sword Cultivator. Mo Bo gave him a cold look, "Shame." ”

Yan Qiao snorted twice, the truth was here, and he couldn't refute it, but after a while, he seemed to remember something, hehe, smiled, and leaned over to Mo Bai's side, "If I remember correctly, this year's disciple competition will be held......, right?"

Mo Bai glanced at Yan Qiao, "What do you want to do?"

"Add his name to it!" Yan Qiao pointed at Su Qi, "It must be interesting." ”

Mo Bai frowned, "Isn't this good? he is not a disciple of the Western Rain Palace, and he is not even a person from the Changxia Secret Land." ”

"So what? It's not without precedent, wasn't there another barbarian disciple who participated in the big competition ten years ago? Don't you want to think about who is stronger than those little guys?"

Mo Bai was silent for a moment, a little moved, and nodded slowly, "But I still have to let the half-emperors nod." ”

"It's not a problem. Yan Qiao said confidently.
