Chapter 17: The Ancient Soul of the Vermilion Bird
The sky soon dawned, Chu Ge was actually running, and everyone was a little inexplicable, they hadn't found out that Chu Ge loved sports so much, in fact, Chu Ge was purely to calm down and extinguish the fire in his heart.
After everyone woke up, they began to continue on the road after a while, and arrived at Suzaku Palace at noon.
The Vermilion Bird Palace is very huge, the entrance is a phoenix standing tall, is about to spread its wings, the two wings are very huge, there are two zhang long, the head of the Vermilion Bird is the size of an adult, it looks awe-inspiring, lifelike, as if to come to life, it is daunting.
There are two huge beast heads on the door of the Vermilion Bird Palace, I don't know if it is gluttony or a unicorn, when everyone walked to the front gate and was about to push the door open, the door of the Vermilion Bird Palace automatically and slowly opened.
This scene made everyone put away frivolity, and with a humble heart, they walked into the Suzaku Palace in turn, and there seemed to be a spirit in the Suzaku Palace, and the candlestick burned automatically, reflecting the scenery in the palace. Everyone looked at it, the environment in the palace was very spacious, the sky above the palace was not clear, but it was dark, I don't know how many, what could be seen was at least five or six zhang high, let alone invisible.
There are many birds and beasts carved on the four walls of the palace, there are many murals, there are people and beasts fighting, there are vermilion birds and dragons fighting, many murals, the carvings are very exquisite, all of a sudden the hearts of the people are attracted, as if there is a kind of magic.
Chu Ge saw a carving, on which was a man, standing on the back of the Vermilion Bird, proud of the world, as if there was a divine light in his eyes, with a kind of momentum of dominating the world, the Vermilion Bird was at his feet, very obedient, but it still looked a little intimidating. The more Chu Ge looked at it, the more he felt that the person on Suzaku's back was very similar to the Yellow Emperor he saw in his dream, and Chu Ge judged that this was probably the Yellow Emperor in his dream.
Everyone has nothing to gain from the murals, only Chen Yufeng feels that these murals are very special, and there may be some peerless exercises hidden, but unfortunately their current realm is too low, and they can't see it at all, and even if they see it, they can't learn it. So everyone continued to walk forward, this corridor was very long, and everyone did not stop for a moment, and even walked for half an hour.
It's just that the corridor is not as grand and wide as when you first entered the Suzaku Palace, it is a long corridor about a zhang wide, but the very physical part of this corridor is that the front is always dark, and only when everyone walks in, the firelight will automatically light up.
After everyone walked through the long corridor, there was a bright light in front of them, and everyone looked at it, and found that there was no fire in it, but instead there were huge night pearls, inlaid on the stone walls and pillars, no one counted, this could not be counted, it was definitely dizzy to count. But if someone could really count them, he would find that the number of night pearls in this palace was exactly one hundred and eight, one was not more and one was not less, and it was the same as the number of people they had come to Kunlun to the Land of the Gods this time.
Nine pillars supported the entire palace, Chu Ge looked at these layouts, plus the places he had walked through, he thought to himself, he and the others were definitely in the belly of the mountain now. I don't know who built this palace, it can be described as an earth-shattering project, and it is not humanly capable at all.
Due to the leaders of Chu Ge and Chen Yufeng, everyone did not rush forward, but carefully observed the surroundings and found that there was nothing else around except for the Night Pearl. And a hundred zhang away from them, there was a throne, on the throne there was a blood-red finch character, the throne was very wide, one zhang long, I think it should be the seat where Suzaku sits.
Other than that, the bricks on the ground are blood-red, which is very different from the green bricks outside.
Chen Yufeng bent down and touched the brick, wanting to see what kind of stone it was, it turned out to be as red as blood. As soon as his hand touched the brick, it was immediately retracted like an electric shock, and his heartbeat suddenly increased by a point. Chen Yufeng was indeed frightened, because the brick he touched just now turned out to be warm, and because he had been on guard, he immediately retracted his hand by reflex.
Chen Yufeng settled down, and immediately touched the floor tiles again, it was warm to the touch, which made people feel very comfortable, and at the same time he also touched the wall, but the wall was still cold, but it was not as cold as outside, which was surprising.
Suddenly, everyone heard a loud phoenix chirping, and everyone's hearts tightened, could it be that the legendary Suzaku was still alive? Everyone thought about it carefully, and several girls shrank in fear, hiding behind the young man, and looked around cautiously.
There didn't seem to be anything different around, and there weren't any living creatures, so where did the sound come from?
Just as everyone was searching around, the hoarse and ancient voice came again, and Chen Yufeng and Chu Yingnian confirmed at the same time: "The voice is coming from the throne opposite. ”
Everyone looked at the throne, it was empty, and they saw the hoarse and ancient voice whispering: "Another time has passed, and you are here again, and there are many people who have come this time." ”
Everyone was shocked and frightened, but Chu Ge said directly and decisively: "The seniors know where we come from, can you point out one or two for us?
I saw that the voice seemed to carry endless sadness, and said slowly and in a low voice: "I naturally know your origin, it has been more than 4,700 years since your first ancestors came here, and you can be regarded as half of my descendants. ”
As soon as this voice came out, everyone was shocked, their ancestors had begun to walk the Kunlun Ancient Road for more than 4,700 years, and once every 60 years, wouldn't it have come nearly 80 times. And the other party said that he could be regarded as half of his descendants, so wouldn't that be his oldest ancestor? Some people began to suspect that they were dreaming, how could this be possible, Chinese civilization is only 5,000 years old!
But the other party's words don't seem to be a joke, and there seems to be no need to lie with their group of hairy boys, when everyone calms down and scrutinizes, they feel that what the other party said is completely likely to be true, Chinese civilization has been up and down for 5,000 years, and their ancestors have been here for more than 4,700 years, the logic is completely reasonable, it is simply incredible, which once again subverts everyone's cognition.
An idea gradually popped up in Chu Ge's heart, if this voice was not the Yellow Emperor, then there might be only one possibility, but how could this be possible?!
Chen Yufeng said respectfully: "According to what the predecessors said, we are all your descendants, so I don't know which generation of ancestors the predecessors are?"
The voice paused: "I am not your ancestor, your ancestor contained the power of my bloodline in his body back then, so I said that you can be regarded as half of my descendants, and I am the Vermilion Bird Ancient Soul, since you can come here, you must be able to know my existence." ”
This sentence is like a shock, the other party is the ancient soul of the Vermilion Bird, is it possible that the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast really exists and is not dead, since the Vermilion Bird Sacred Beast is real, then the Dragon Hill, Aobei Mountain, and Buzhou Mountain should also be divine beasts, that is, the four holy beasts in Chinese mythology! Although everyone has been mentally prepared, they have not been severely shocked.
The Vermilion Bird Ancient Soul continued: "Since you are here, you are ready to accept my test, whoever can walk through the path of Nirvana in front of you will be able to obtain the bloodline inheritance, if you can sit on my Vermilion Bird throne and not fall, you will be able to obtain the inheritance of this Vermilion Bird Palace, inherit the power of the immortal bird, and be the young master of your generation." ”
Chu Jingnian said respectfully: "Vermilion Bird Ancient Ancestor, our clan has elected the young master of this generation. ”
The Vermilion Bird Ancient Soul said coldly: "That's just in your clan, no matter who can obtain the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird Palace, it must be the young master of your generation, and everyone respects it, this is the rule set by your ancestors, don't you know." ”
Chu Jingnian was stunned and said, "The clan elders didn't mention this matter to me, we don't know, please forgive us." ”
When Chu Jingnian said this, some people immediately became uncomfortable, not only Chu Liunian, but also two or three children of the Chu clan. During this trip to Kunlun, it was obvious that Chu Jingnian had been told a lot of things, and they didn't know the slightest bit of news, the most difficult thing to accept was Chu Liunian, as the son of the patriarch, his father didn't tell him, and the anger and jealousy in his heart burned together.
Chu Yingnian obviously guessed it, and it could be seen from Chu Jingnian's initiative to slap Xiong Xiong, even if only Chu Jingnian was told, Chu Yingnian took it for granted, after all, Chu Jingnian was the eldest grandson of the Nian generation, the patriarch who went with the flow, if Chu Ge was not the young master. Chu Ge didn't care much about these, his mind was all on the Vermilion Bird Ancient Soul, since this Vermilion Bird appeared in the form of an ancient soul, something must have happened, and the Yellow Emperor didn't see this Vermilion Bird when he was fighting with Rulai in the dream, so where was he?
The Vermilion Bird Ancient Soul was not surprised at all and said: "Even if you know, it is useless, no one has obtained the Vermilion Bird Palace inheritance for more than two thousand years, and the power of the bloodline left in your body has been thinned and almost cut off, and I have long hoped that someone would be able to sit on the throne." ”
The words of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Soul made everyone take a breath of cold air, there have been two thousand years since no one could sit in that position, thinking of getting the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird Palace, wouldn't it be more difficult than ascending to the sky?
Hearing this, Chu Liunian, who was secretly happy in his heart one moment, was indescribably gloomy the next. Originally, he thought that if he could sit on the throne, then the position of the young lord would be his own, but he suddenly heard that no one could get the inheritance of the Vermilion Bird Palace for two thousand years, and he still had a good idea of his qualifications, and there was no hope at all.
I saw that the Vermilion Bird Ancient Soul continued: "You start now, my Ancient Soul Will, after thousands of years, there is not much left now, after you have completed this path to Nirvana, I will start to sleep, waiting for the next batch of descendants to enter the Vermilion Bird Palace to complete my mission." ”
After speaking, the Suzaku Ancient Soul seemed to be asleep, and after no sound, the entire palace began to fall silent.
The next thing is for everyone to take the road of Nirvana and obtain the inheritance, even if the Suzaku Ancient Soul does not say it, the people here are not stupid. This road is not so easy to follow, and no one wants to take the first step and be the first person to eat crabs, because there may be some risks hidden on this road, and if you don't do it, you will die.
Although the risk is very great, but the temptation is also very great, as long as you can sit on the throne, the twelve rooms surnamed Chu have to listen to themselves, thinking of this, many people are itching again, and soon someone took the first step.
