Chapter 24: The Secret of Kunlun
The elders deliberated for a long time before they turned around, but there was unconcealed joy on everyone's face.
I saw the twelve elders, all of whom got up, looked at Chu Ge respectfully, and said in unison: "Meet the young master." ”
This battle is not trivial, it shocked everyone else at once, with the status of the twelve elders, there is no need to be so respectful to Chu Ge, isn't it just an ordinary young master of the Chu clan, nothing rare, which clan doesn't.
Chu Ge was also confused in the face of the sudden visit of the elders, and he didn't know what was happening, and the others were even more so.
Facing everyone's sluggish expressions, Chen Tiansheng said slowly: "Since it has reached this point, and our young master surnamed Chu has also appeared, then it's time to tell you something, and it is also to solve the confusion in your heart." There are four gates in Kunlun, there are four kinds of inheritance, among which the Vermilion Bird inheritance is respected, and the Vermilion Bird inheritor is the king, and all ethnic groups are respected. ”
For this statement, everyone was puzzled, didn't they all always respect the dragon, why did they respect the Vermilion Bird? In the future, they would listen to Chu Ge?
Chen Tiansheng motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said slowly: "The place where we are sitting now is the third layer of Kunlun, and there is the purest Xuan air here. I told you before that the destination of our Kunlun trip is the Emperor Heaven in outer space, and the earth under our feet is called Houtu. At that time, our ancestors, Emperor Yan and Huang, were seriously injured and fled all the way to Houtu through the Starry Sky Ancient Road, thus leaving a brilliant Chinese civilization in Houtu. We are the Yellow Emperor's lineage, and the talent totem of the Yellow Emperor's lineage is the Vermilion Bird Divine Bird, which accompanies our ancestors to fight until death. ”
Chu Ge was shocked in his heart, that dream of his turned out to be a real thing, wouldn't the one who seriously injured the Second Emperor of Yan and Huang be the Buddha?
Chen Tiansheng continued: "Ancestor Yan and Huang, he was too seriously injured, and it didn't take long for him to fall on Earth, leaving only Kunlun and Mount Tai as two passages to the outer realms. However, the earth behind the earth is not suitable for cultivation, there are too many impurities in the air, only the upper two layers of Kunlun and the altar of Mount Tai are sealed with pure Xuan air. We have two veins, Yan and Huang, and every time we pass Jiazi, we will select the outstanding children of the clan to come to Kunlun and Mount Tai respectively to activate the power of the bloodline, and then go to the extraterritorial emperor. ”
Chen Tiansheng said this, stopped, and looked at everyone.
This ancient secret was solved, and everyone still felt a palpitation, the two emperors of Yan and Huang were defeated, and how could they have the ability to take revenge?
Jing Se asked, "Who is the enemy of our ancestors?" We are now so weak that even if we go to the Emperor, we will not be able to take revenge. ”
Chen Tiansheng said: "As long as your talent is good enough, as long as you have the opportunity to go to the emperor, you will have the opportunity to grow up, as long as you have enough time, you can become completely strong and completely awaken the power of the bloodline, you are only activating the power of the bloodline now, and the future is still a long way." ”
Chu Ge was very persistent and asked, "Then how many people can go to the outside of the territory alive?"
This issue is a concern of everyone, they have already died so many people, can they survive next, if they can't live, everything is just empty talk.
Chen Tiansheng was stopped by Chu Ge's question, he hesitated, but finally said gloomily: "Maybe I shouldn't say it now, but since it has reached this point, then I won't hide anything, whether it is a trip to Kunlun or a trip to Mount Tai, it is a game of nine deaths and one life." The number of people who survive is rarely more than twenty, and the number of people in your generation who have survived is the largest in a thousand years. ”
Sun Yirong said: "Since you know that you are sending you to death, why do you want us to come?"
Chen Tiansheng smiled bitterly: "The mission of the descendants of Yan and Huang has been passed down from generation to generation, as the descendants of Yan and Huang, your fate is like this, it cannot be changed, this is your life and our life." ”
Chu Ge said with anger on his face: "Fate has always been in your own hands, and there is no such thing as destiny. For the sake of revenge, it is cruel to let countless descendants go forward and die one after another. Some of us who came were chosen to die without even knowing why, and I don't understand how you have managed to comply with this bullshit mission for thousands of years. ”
Chu Ge's words made sense, but he was a little rebellious, but at this moment, no one reprimanded him, and no one opposed him, even Xiong Xiong, who hated Chu Ge, wanted to give Chu Ge a thumbs up at this moment.
Chen Tiansheng laughed miserably: "Sixty years ago, I was selected like you, and then I went through many tribulations, and finally there were only eighteen people on the twelfth floor of the Five Cities, and we died more than you this time." We also asked the elders at that time why they came, and the elders told us that for the sake of our ancestors and for the sake of detachment, on earth, people will die in only a hundred years, and they will die in a short period of forty or fifty. But in the extraterritorial emperor, because of the environment of heaven and earth, with the awakening and strength of the power of the bloodline, it is very simple to live for a few hundred years, if you can reach the realm of the Yan and Huang ancestors, you can have a lifespan of 10,000 years. ”
As soon as Chen Tiansheng's words came out, all the young people were shocked again, even Chu Ge was shocked, but he vaguely felt that this was not the truth.
It is indeed a great temptation to live for 10,000 years, and even 10,000 years is already like a dream for them. In ancient times, how many emperors wanted to live forever, and how many rich people were crazy to live a few more years, but now in front of everyone is the temptation to live for hundreds or even tens of thousands of years, and it is definitely unrealistic to say that no one is tempted.
Many people swallowed their saliva, if they could live for hundreds of years, they would not be able to do anything, and they would not be able to go anywhere.
How big the harvest is, how big the risk is, it has been proportional since ancient times, and how many of the thirty-two of them will survive in the end, no one knows, they themselves don't know, and the twelve elders don't know. For thousands of years, no one has returned to those who have gone abroad, and they do not know what happened to the people who went there, maybe alive or long dead.
Looking at the way everyone had their thoughts, Chen Tiansheng said slowly: "Among you, there will be twelve people who will be left behind and return to the family, and sixty years later, as the next group of guides to open the land of the gods in Kunlun." We will choose one person to stay, and the people who stay are the twelve elders of the next generation, and this is the case from generation to generation, as for your stay and stay, you can decide for yourself, and that's all it takes, you each discuss it with the elders of the clan, if there is anything that needs to be explained or questioned, tell your elders, we will open the Kunlun Divine Mirror tomorrow and send you to the extraterritorial. ”
After Chen Tiansheng said this, everyone dispersed.
Chu Ge, Chu Xiu, Chu Yingnian, and Chu Jingnian were called to one place alone by Grandma Chu.
Grandma Chu said: "Tomorrow you are going to go outside the territory, if there is anything you want to ask today, just say it, and I will tell you what I know." ”
Everyone did have a lot of questions, but suddenly they asked them like this, but they found that there was no way to ask, only endless melancholy.
After a long time, Chu Yingnian asked, "Grandma, have you decided who will stay?"
Grandma Chu paused for a moment, and said slowly: "This matter, I want to leave it to you to decide, stay and you will definitely be able to live to my age, if you go to the emperor, everything is unknown, even I don't know what is outside the territory, for so many years, no one who went outside the territory came back, they may be dead or alive." Among you, except for Chu Ge, who must go to the outside of the territory, the remaining three can stay, and the fate is in your own hands, and you make your own choice. ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and Chu Ge spoke: "Let Chu Xiu stay." ”
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiu retorted: "No, I follow you, I am your protector, and I follow you at all times." ”
Chu Ge and the three of them were stunned and looked at Grandma Chu.
Grandma Chu sighed: "Chu Xiu was selected by us from this generation of female babies, so that when the young master of this generation is burned by the Vermilion Bird Immortal Fire, if something happens, Chu Xiu can exchange her body for your life, this is her mission to Kunlun." ”
Chu Yingnian was puzzled: "We have all walked through the immortal fire, and there will be no danger to our lives." ”
Grandma Chu shook her head and said, "You know too little, Chu Ge's test is different from the rest of you, he is the young master of the Chu clan." ”
Chu Ge muttered: "Even if it's a young master, it's nothing special, why should my test be different from others, and almost burned me to death." ”
Grandma Chu raised her eyes and asked, "Where is your young master's jade pendant?"
Chu Ge touched his chest and found that there was nothing, so he thought for a while and replied, "Maybe the rope burned and fell in the Vermilion Bird Palace." ”
Grandma Chu shook her head and said, "The young master's jade pendant is a thousand-year-old phoenix jade casting, and it can only be burned unless it is a red lotus fire." If you burn it with the Vermilion Bird Immortal Fire, it will only activate this jade pendant. ”
Chu Ge was puzzled: "Then where did this jade pendant go?"
Grandma Chu said: "This jade pendant has been integrated into your body, and it is the carrier of the Vermilion Bird inheritance. If you don't have this jade pendant, with your current body, you can't withstand the Suzaku inheritance at all, and you will be burned alive directly. ”
Chu Ge sensed carefully, but he never sensed the existence of the jade pendant in his body, and only felt that there was a small red dot sleeping there in his heart.
Chu Yingnian frowned and said, "If the young master didn't bear the death of the Vermilion Bird Inheritance or fell early, then how would the young master Yu Pei deal with it?"
Grandma Chu said: "If something like that really happens, then Chu Xiu will pick up the jade pendant and give it to someone who hopes to obtain the Vermilion Bird inheritance or bring it back to the clan." ”
Chu Jingnian was puzzled: "Why did Ah Xiu come to pick it up, why not us? If something happened to Ah Xiu, wouldn't it be lost." ”
Grandma Chu said: "If it is lost, after sixty years, the clan will arrange a new girl to pick it up, the reason why it is Xiu'er to pick it up is because the girl's physique is yin, and the young master's jade pendant balances each other, if you men come to pick it up, it will directly be absorbed by the ancient jade and become nutrients." ”
Chu Ge asked, "Why is there nothing wrong with me wearing it on my body?"
Grandma Chu said: "The reason why you are okay is that you have the blood of sacrifice in your body, so there is nothing outside Kunlun Mountain, when you enter Kunlun Mountain and step into the Vermilion Bird Palace, the young master Jade Pendant will inevitably be stimulated by the Vermilion Bird Immortal Fire and automatically absorb the essence blood of the person who wears it, so that you can have the opportunity to obtain the Vermilion Bird inheritance." ”
Everyone didn't expect everything to be like this, Chu Ge touched his body, it turned out that all this was a game, either live or die, Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he thought about it.
