The gate of the temple is very high, not for ordinary people, but for the ancient witches who have undergone the blood sacrifice ascension ceremony, and the ancient witches are all six feet high, which also leads to a fundamental change in the structure of the temple.

At this time, the door of the temple was not closed, which was also reasonable, it was all conquered by the Heavenly Master Sect, how could it still be closed, unless the ancient witches closed the door again after resurrection.

As soon as he walked into the gate, Qi Xuansu saw a desolate beast that looked like a small mountain, this desolate beast had been dead for a long time, but it was not only the bones, but the fur and flesh were flesh and blood, lifelike, as if it had just died not long ago, and it just blocked most of the door.

It seems that this beast wants to block the doorway with its huge body before it dies, blocking the enemies outside.

But now, it seems that this desolate beast has been pushed open from the outside with great force, so that it is some distance from the gate of the temple, and it is not blocked, but it is like a shadow wall.

Qi Xuan was not careless, and poked the desolate beast with the "Qingyun" in his hand, and then the lifelike remains of the desolate beast that seemed to be resurrected at any time immediately turned into dust, and there was nothing left.

"The predecessors of the Dao Sect back then were really domineering, it seems that the vast majority of the creatures here have completely lost their vitality, and there is no possibility of resurrection, but there are only a small number of fish that have slipped through the net." Qi Xuansu thought so, "However, the bodies of these desolate beasts can still maintain their surface intact after many years of death, which shows how powerful they were during their lifetime. ”

After the corpse of the desolate beast turned into dust, the scene behind it was also revealed.

A figure was sitting with his head bowed, holding a wooden staff similar to a "gong candle stick" in his arms, and the two snakes were entangled

, but it is not the pattern of double dragon play pearls, and it is a forest skeleton that replaces the dragon ball.

This figure is not a six-foot-tall witch, it is the size of an ordinary person, motionless, and seems to have been dead for a long time.

Qi Xuansu had such a scene in his mind, the army of the Heavenly Master Sect surrounded the temple, and the desolate beast blocked the master behind him, blocking the door of the temple with his body, but he was still killed by the Heavenly Master Sect, and his master was not spared, and finally died here.

This figure is not only the size of an ordinary person, but also does not have a strong and stubborn cloak, like a "civil official", not the "general" seen before.

Qi Xuansu still concocted it in the same way, using "Qingyun" to poke.

Don't look at the power of "Qingyun" only as a semi-immortal, it is still an immortal in essence, and it is not afraid of all evil spirits.

Unlike the previous remains of the desolate beasts, instead of turning into dust, this figure slowly raised its head, and two red rays lit up in the depths of the originally empty eye sockets.

Qi Xuansu also saw the face of the figure clearly, it had been completely dried, it was completely literal skin and bones, it was just an extra layer of skin compared to a skeleton, and it revealed an ominous gray and black color, which was simply the appearance of a dried corpse.

Qi Xuansu was taken aback, and he had to strike first.

At that moment, the figure spoke.

Strictly speaking, it is not a voice made by his voice, after all, his body has completely decayed, whether he has a voice or not, but a kind of heart, similar to the "other heart communication" of Buddhism, directly transmitted to Qi Xuansu's mind.

"You have the breath of the Ancestral Witches in you......"

Because it is a heart-to-heart communication, not a language, the ideas conveyed will be translated into something that the other party can understand directly

Meaning, Qi Xuansu is most familiar with the vernacular, so in Qi Xuansu's ears, this kind of voice is the vernacular, and he will not write how I am and how you are.

When Qi Xuansu heard this, he didn't rush to make a move, but he still maintained a defensive posture, and asked in the same heart: "Who are you?" ”

The voice of this figure conveyed the emotion of laughter, as if he was smiling and speaking: "But you still have the breath of the Heavenly Master Sect on your body, if I am not mistaken, you are holding a ...... in your hand The fairy sword? ”

It seems that because of some kind of power, this figure was unable to call out the full name of the Ancestral Heavenly Master.

Of course, this is not for the sake of His Holiness, but the power of the Ancestral Heavenly Master still affects the Lingshan Cave Heaven, which makes this figure very jealous.

Qi Xuansu casually recited nonsense without changing his face: "Imitation." ”

This figure didn't seem suspicious: "You are not the blood of the Zhang family." ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "Speaking of the Zhang family's bloodline, haven't you seen another family?" The members of that family are Taoist priests, and they have the blood of great witches. ”

"I've never seen it." The figure conveyed a very affirmative voice, "You are the first person I have ever met, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to return from suspended animation." ”

Qi Xuansu's heart moved.

Suspended animation?

This guy escaped by playing dead? However, the essence of magic is to deceive people, if you can deceive yourself and make yourself believe that you are dead, maybe you can really hide from the world. The thousand-year-old king and eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise, in the absence of a catastrophe, has entered a state of suspended animation with very little consumption, and it is not impossible to survive for more than a thousand years.

It's just that this kind of life is really worse than death, and it doesn't make much sense, so

Few people will choose this kind of "two ears do not listen to what is going on outside the window" way of longevity.

However, Qi Xuansu didn't dwell on this, and asked repeatedly, "Who are you?" ”

This time, the figure finally gave the answer: "My name is Izumi." What about you? ”

The names of the ancient witches are only one word, for example, Wu Luo is called Luo, and Wu is just the identity. Wu Luo means a great witch named Luo. The same can be said of the other great witches.

The figure in front of him can survive more than a thousand years without dying, although it is not an ancestral witch, but it is also at the level of a great witch.

It is worth mentioning that the "Great Witch" in the mouth of the Daomen in later generations mainly refers to the Eleven Witches, and the "Great Witch" in the mouth of the Witch Sect refers to the Witches who have undergone the pseudo-ascension ceremony, and the Eleven Witches are respected as the ancestral witches. And there are witches, witches are witches, and male witches are witches, collectively called "witches". It's just that later generations directly confused the concept of witchcraft, because the eleven witches are all women, so all witches are collectively called witches.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Why don't you have the characteristics of a desolate beast?" Didn't turn into a giant either? ”

Izumi replied, "Because my blood ritual doesn't use the blood of the beast." ”

Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "Is it human blood?" ”

Izumi did not answer, and the right acquiesced.

After a moment of silence, Izumi asked again, "Daoist priest with the aura of an ancestral witch, why did you come to our holy land?" ”

Qi Xuansu said vaguely: "I'm looking for some answers." As you said, I have the breath of the ancestral witch on my body, and I want to know why there is the breath of the ancestral witch. ”

Quan hit the nail on the head and said, "Then you are going to Lingshan." ”

Qi Xuansu also acquiesced.

Izumi said, "We are not enemies. Although I don't

I know how long I've been asleep, but judging from the decay of my body, it should be a long, long time, at least a few hundred years, maybe the ancestral witches have fallen, and the ancient witch cult no longer exists. All that hatred is a thing of the past. ”

Qi Xuansu responded: "Indeed, nearly two thousand years have passed since the fall of the Ancient Witch Sect, and the ancestral witches are no longer in the world. ”

He played a trick here, he didn't say that the ancestors and witches had fallen, but that they were no longer in the world, because Wu Xian, Wu Luo, and Wu Yang had not fallen, but they were indeed not in the world, such as Wu Luo, she was in her own kingdom of God, and she could not be regarded as a human being. However, this can be misleading, believing that the Eleven Witches have all fallen.

Sure enough, Izumi let out a sigh: "Even if it is an ancestral witch, it will not be able to escape the end of the fall. ”

Then Quan asked, "In this way, the Heavenly Master Sect has established a human Dao kingdom. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "The Heavenly Master Sect also does not exist. ”

Izumi couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Yes...... Who replaced the Heavenly Master? ”

Walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, Qi Xuansu deeply understands a truth, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, so he does not tell all lies at this time, does not tell all the truth, and uses the information gap to form misleading, in order to achieve the purpose of protecting himself: "Confucianism." ”

"Confucian?" Izumi also knows this sect, "That 'Feng Xi Feng Xi how is the decline of virtue'? ”

What he said was the allusion of "Feng Ge laughing at Kongqiu".

The Ancestral Heavenly Master is the patriarch of the Heavenly Master Sect, not the patriarch of the Daomen, so the Daomen and the Witch Sect had a parallel period of time, as early as the Ancestral Dragon period, the Witch Sect has weakened and retreated

The area of southern Xinjiang in present-day Shuzhou became the "Southern Barbarian" and cut off contact with the Central Plains. At that time, the Taoist sect initially became the co-lord of the world, and there was a fierce dispute with Confucianism. Even after the exclusive respect for Confucianism, the Daomen was not completely defeated overnight, and there was a long process in between.

It was not until the complete failure of the Daomen and the withdrawal from the center of the imperial court that there was the rise of the Heavenly Master Sect and the Taiping Dao, and the Heavenly Master Sect destroyed the witch cult that was still breathing. Therefore, the people of the witch sect also know the existence of the hundred schools of thought, but they don't know it deeply.

Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "Yes." Confucianism replaced the Heavenly Master Sect, suppressed the Taiping Dao, and became the co-lord of the world, they respected the way of heaven, called it 'Tianli', with the human emperor as the leader, called 'the son of heaven', which means the son of heaven. ”

In fact, Confucianism and the Holy Court are the same set of tricks, the West regards the goddess as the daughter of the supreme will, and the Confucianism regards the emperor as the son of heaven, both of which are the story of a shell.

Izumi muttered, "Our Witch Sect is also a subordinate of the Human Emperor, and that's how it should be. But how can the Human Emperor be the son of Heavenly Dao? Heaven, earth and man should be equal, the emperor of man is the lord of the world, and he should not bow to the way of heaven. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "This is the difference between Confucianism and witchcraft, under the concept of Confucianism, the prince of heaven and earth, the hierarchy is orderly, the sky is the highest, the earth is second, and the people are again." ”

Izumi asked again, "What does this Confucian sect you said think of witchcraft?" ”

Qi Xuansu replied: "Zi is silent, and the power is confused. Daomen and witch cults are treated the same, they are both strange and chaotic. ”

Qi Xuansu's answer gave people the illusion that at this time, Confucianism was ruling the world outside, and the Daomen was just a remnant. this

It's not wrong, but that's in the past. He deliberately did not say that the door came back and regained power.

Izumi fell silent.

This time, it was Qi Xuansu's turn to ask, "Do you know how to get to Lingshan?" ”

Izumi turned his gaze beyond the temple.

At this point, it was already a completely bloody world outside.

Quan said slowly: "I know, but I can't leave for Lingshan now, the blood moon means a great danger." ”
