Volume 1 The Kingdom of the Long Night Chapter 96 The Immortals in the Murals
Cai Tanggu learned that Xiao Shinian was one of the two monks who had repelled Wuhou, and immediately took Dong Chongyang to the bamboo forest in Xicheng Lane.
Seeing the man practicing calligraphy in front of the bamboo house, Cai Tanggu tidied up his clothes a little, waved his hands and saluted: "But Mr. Xiao in person?" ”
Whether it is a guess that Xiao Shinian is a great monk in the snow realm, whether he is really young or returning to the basics, he has to be respected, which is what the strong deserve.
Xiao Shinian knew Cai Tanggu, but he ignored it.
In fact, he was not very interested in calligraphy, but because his father was good at handwriting, he was also very interested in calligraphy.
Cai Tanggu watched for a moment and praised: "What a good word." ”
Xiao Shinian raised his eyes and said, "You understand? ”
Cai Tanggu said with a smile: "After all, Cai is a teacher at Yuyuan Academy, and the school will also teach and educate people, and there are countless people in the literary world. ”
Xiao Shinian nodded and continued to write.
Cai Tanggu frowned slightly, but he was still patient.
Dong Chongyang stood with a knife, although he was both a martial artist, but because he walked the rivers and lakes, the martial arts atmosphere was very heavy, and he didn't know calligraphy, but he could see that Xiao Shinian's words implied a chilling spirit.
This is by no means an ordinary word.
If you want to make words resonate with Qi, it is difficult for everyone in the literary world to do it.
Writing and drawing are similar, but they are completely different, the latter being more like drawing.
Before the advent of the monster, there was Confucianism, and Qi was once a Confucian holy land, there were Confucian saints involved in the battle of the Candle God, and the words written down casually and blurted out could make the great demon soul scatter, but after all, it could not defeat the Candle God, but because of the special nature of Confucianism, it became the thorn in the eye of the Candle God, and finally disappeared in the long river of history.
Today's readers are just readers.
After all, there are scholars, even though the Battle of Candle God is not recorded in detail, but the things about Confucianism have been handed down.
Scholars all over the world want to reproduce the prosperity of Confucianism, but the Confucianism recorded so far is heroic and upright, and only the emperor in the Sui Kingdom has comprehended it.
Dong Chongyang looked at Xiao Shinian's words, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Your Excellency is a Confucianist?" ”
Cai Tanggu didn't react, and subconsciously said, "Brother Chongyang, when did Mr. Xiao humiliate you?" ”
The corners of Dong Chongyang's mouth twitched, and he corrected: "It's Confucianism, not humiliation." ”
Cai Tanggu's face was ruddy, he coughed dryly, and said: "Although Confucianism is recorded in ancient books, but in addition to the emperor, there have never really been anyone who has stepped into Confucianism and Taoism, and they are still powerless. ”
Dong Chongyang said: "I walk the rivers and lakes, there is hearsay, in the territory of Xiqin, there is a academy, known as Confucian orthodoxy, still uphold Confucianism, Sui has an emperor, does not mean that there is no second emperor in the whole world, unlike the academy, that academy is really only scholars." ”
Cai Tanggu frowned and said, "When you say that, I did hear about it at the sacrificial wine......
His complexion changed slightly.
I was already suspicious that the two monks of the Snow Realm who repelled Wuhou were outsiders, and Ruo Xiao was not from another realm of the Sui Kingdom, but from the academy in Xitan, and even comprehended Haoran's righteousness......
Sui and Xitan are mortal enemies!
Cai Tanggu subconsciously drew his sword.
Dong Chongyang also held the knife in his hand.
After all, he was a martial artist, and he suspected Xiao Shinian of cultivating Confucianism, but he didn't think too much about it, and it wasn't until Cai Tanggu reacted that he suddenly woke up.
If he is really a scholar and has the ability to repel Wuhou, there is no other possibility except to comprehend Haoran righteousness, there is only an emperor in the Sui Kingdom, and no other scholar comprehends Haoran righteousness, then it is obvious that Xiao Shinian is a Xitan person!
Xiao Shinian looked at them inexplicably.
I'm just practicing a word.
Why was you polite at first, but now you are directly drawing a knife to each other?
Cai Tanggu and Dong Chongyang transmitted, "Cultivating Confucian Haoran righteousness, being able to suppress the monks of the same realm, or even more exaggerated, Xiao Shinian can repel Wuhou, and his comprehension of Haoran righteousness is by no means superficial, if we advance to the level of following the law, we will have no power to fight back." ”
Dong Chongyang also regretted making this matter clear, and now he has to send it when he is ready to fly.
The records of Confucianism in ancient books are very good, and they understand that Haoran righteousness does not look at age, but it is impossible for Xiao Shinian to reach the height of the emperor, but they are not big things of the emperor's level, if they fight with Xiao Shinian, there is no chance of winning.
Cai Tanggu racked his brains to think of countermeasures.
He suddenly put away his sword and said with a smile: "I'm older, and I'm a little excited when I see Mr. Xiao's words." ”
Dong Chongyang was puzzled, but he continued to stand with his knife in his arms and said, "Move your muscles and bones." ”
Cai Tanggu's voice immediately came into Dong Chongyang's mind, "We only think that Xiao Shinian is a Confucian disciple, after all, he suspected that he was a person from Xitan Academy and did not say it directly, but tacitly diverted the topic." ”
Dong Chongyang is clear.
Cai Tanggu followed with a smile: "Confucianism has been prevalent for thousands of years, with a profound heritage, Mr. Xiao is talented, and he can write well. ”
He ended the matter so as not to turn the subject too bluntly.
Then Zhengse said: "We still have important matters, so we won't bother Mr. Xiao and leave." ”
He dragged Dong Chongyang away quickly.
When he got out of the bamboo forest, Dong Chongyang said in a low voice: "Brother Cai's acting skills are slightly inferior, if he is not stupid, he must be suspicious, in order to avoid the exposure of his identity, I am afraid that he will think of getting rid of us." ”
Cai Tanggu said in a deep voice: "With Deputy Pavilion Master Lin in Huncheng, he shouldn't dare to make a rash move, at most he will leave Huncheng, but just in case, we have to flee here quickly." ”
Looking at the two people who fled in a hurry, Xiao Shinian's face was dazed.
Sick, right?
But he did have some interest in Confucianism, which was once prevalent.
In fact, he is no stranger to Haoran righteousness.
I've just never seen it here.
......
Cai Tanggu found Lin Chengzhi as soon as possible.
"Xiao Shinian is a member of the Xitan Confucian Academy?"
"Are you speculating on reasons that are too ridiculous?"
"Being able to resonate with Qi is indeed something that is difficult for everyone in the literary world to do, but everyone in the literary world who has not really stepped into the path of Confucianism and Taoism is just ordinary mortals."
"Just like the Heavenly Master can make the talisman resonate with Qi, just like my flying sword can resonate with Qi, your guess is completely groundless."
"I fought with him in the bamboo forest, and it can best confirm his identity as a swordsman, there is no so-called Haoran righteousness at all, after all, I have also seen the emperor, do you think he has the ability to defeat the emperor, so I can't feel the existence of Haoran righteousness?"
Lin Chengzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you looking down on me, or are you looking down on the emperor?" ”
Cai Tanggu was speechless.
Dong Chongyang's face is slightly stiff.
They realize that their brains don't seem to be very good.
Even Lin Cheng knew the problem that he could see, but they were convinced of it, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Thinking that Xiao Shinian really had no intention of pursuing, if his identity was at risk of being exposed, he would not be so indifferent.
Cai Tang's ancient face flushed.
Awkward toe picking.
Lin Chengzhi put his hands behind his back and said: "I want to investigate the big demon behind the attack on Huncheng, the identity of the two monks of the so-called Bathing Snow Realm who repelled Wuhou has been revealed, you are also idle when you are idle, just do me a favor." ”
Cai Tanggu said unexpectedly: "One of them is Xiao Shinian, and the identity of the second person has also been found out?" ”
Lin Chengzhi said: "It's Jiang Wang." ”
Cai Tanggu's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Impossible! ”
Lin Chengzhi frowned and said: "Xiao Shinian has not entered the bathing and snow realm, but he has a strong strength, according to Shen Tuhuang, Jiang Wang should be a breakthrough in the realm of bathing in snow, only because of the demons in each realm, so that the Qingxuan Department did not notice it at the first time, this matter has been confirmed by Shen Tuhuang, there will be no fake." ”
Cai Tanggu's face turned pale.
The desire to be good-looking has died again?!
"He is young, how can he break through the realm and bathe in the snow......"
Cai Tanggu was very stubborn and wanted Lin Cheng to deny it.
Lin Chengzhi said: "Jiang Wang, this person is indeed talented, and he has helped Xie Wuxing consolidate the sword heart, I intend to let him worship in the Sword Pavilion, but I will wait until I solve the big demon behind the attack on Huncheng." ”
Cai Tanggu's face turned even paler.
The desire to look good has turned into powder?!
Lin Chengzhi said again: "But it seems that the Martial God Temple and the Xiaohua Army both want to win over Jiang Wang, fortunately, Venerable Luo has left Huncheng, and the Xiaohua Army is only two juniors, I have to find the big demon behind the scenes as soon as possible, otherwise the cheap will be picked up by others." ”
Cai Tang's ancient face is bloodless.
Completely lost in the desire to look good?
How unjust the world is!
......
Cai Tanggu's mood fell like a cliff, and Jiang Wang's mood was not very good.
Thinking about why Cai Tanggu didn't act?
Shen Tuhuang seemed to be quite strong, but it seemed to be pretending, and it was just the Black Flame Army, which scared him away.
Pei Jieran directly suffocated in the face of strangers.
Jiang Wang hates that iron can't become steel, and neither can Cai Tanggu, who are you looking for, I am full of expectations for you.
There is no way, Jiang Wang can only start with the monsters under Qixia Street.
Although Huncheng is in full swing of construction, it is difficult to take on a new look in a short period of time, especially the underground cave that was smashed out by Jiang Wang.
The surrounding area is cordoned off to prevent people from accidentally falling, even if Qixia Street is mostly infested with monks or martial artists.
Jiang Wang took advantage of the dark night and high wind, went out of the house alone, and came to the side of the pit.
The deep hole made him a little nervous.
He mustered up the courage to jump.
Even if it is unfathomable, but after all, it belongs to Qixia Street, Jiang Wang's figure fluttered to the ground, and the pitch-black environment was like day in his field of vision.
Directly in front of you is a stone wall with raised stones in a strange shape, a stream on the right, and a dark path on the left.
The humidity here is heavy, but the air is circulating, and there is even a touch of sweetness in the breath.
Jiang Wang clenched his Long Night Knife and walked towards the path.
As soon as he got closer, he saw a white shadow flash inside.
Jiang Wang immediately swallowed his saliva.
Followed by the sound of crisp footsteps, echoing in the underground cavern, extremely infiltrating.
White shadows loomed.
Jiang Wang couldn't help blinking his eyes, his vision was only dark for a short time, and the white shadow had already come to him.
Gan!
Jiang Wang only felt that his heart was beating rapidly, and he subconsciously waved his knife, and the cold light suddenly made the underground cave sky as bright as day.
There was a sound of gold and iron ringing.
Jiang Wang also saw the face of the white shadow clearly through the cold light.
He was slightly stunned, "Why are you here?!" ”
But thinking that he had just subconsciously swung his knife, and his strength was enough to kill Xie Wuxing directly, but he was easily blocked by the other party, it seemed that the expectation was good, Miss Pei, who had a furrow in her chest, was indeed very strong.
Pei Jieran gasped and trembled, "I didn't expect it to be so dark here......"
Jiang Wang was stunned again, "Are you still afraid of the dark?" ”
Pei Jieran was very ashamed, she seemed to be about to expose her weaknesses in front of Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang's words didn't stop, "What are you doing here in the dark?" This is underground, how can it not be dark, if it is not for the coincidence that I am here, if you suffocate again, you will have to be in the company of darkness forever. ”
He didn't give Pei Jieran any respite, and said, "You're here for the monster?" ”
Pei Jieran gradually returned to normal, staring at him directly.
Jiang Wang frowned, what do you mean?
I only heard Pei Jieran say quietly: "There are monsters in the illusion, but it is not necessarily the real ......"
Jiang Wang said, "So what? Your purpose should be the same as mine, and you want to see if there are any youkai here, what's wrong with that? ”
Pei was silent, as if there was really no problem.
Jiang Wang walked forward with his knife and said, "If you're afraid, go back." ”
Pei Jieran is directly a kick.
Jiang Wang staggered forward a few steps, turned around and said angrily, "You are sick!" ”
Pei Jieran said: "I am sick. ”
Jiang Wang's words stopped.
Why is this sentence so familiar, I seem to say it a lot......
In order not to lose to others, Jiang Wangzheng said awe-inspiringly: "I am also sick. ”
Pei Jieran let out a faint 'oh'.
What do you have to show off when you're sick?
Jiang Wang was finally defeated.
I feel that these words are no longer described by illness.
Nothing happened to him.
Proceed cautiously.
Pei Jiran followed closely.
Jiang Wang asked in a low voice, "When did you arrive?" ”
Pei Jieran replied: "It's probably time...... I didn't go deeper. ”
She was ashamed.
Jiang looked at it and said, "The space here is not small, it must be extraordinary, and there is a great possibility that there are monsters being suppressed." ”
Pei Jieran said: "The really formidable big demon in the world rarely shows up, so it can't be suppressed, even if the remaining big demon is strong, the Sui State has the strength to resist, and naturally there is no need to suppress it, if there is really a monster suppressed here, it must be the existence of the Mozhang Battle at the earliest." ”
Jiang Wang said: "I think it may have been earlier. ”
According to the Night Wandering God, the monsters under Qixia Street were most likely suppressed by the immortals, although the fruit position was confirmed to have nothing to do with suppressing the monsters.
But during the Battle of Mozhang, in fact, there were no immortals in the world, and people were able to win, even if they paid a great price, but it also meant that the monsters in the Battle of Mozhang were not so strong, and the only existence that could not be defeated was Mozhang.
How can there be hundreds of countries in the world, but now there are only two left, and the number of monks is scarce, it can be seen that defeating Mozhang has almost gambled on the entire world, even if the truth is that Mozhang was suppressed, not killed, there is no reason to be in Qixia Street.
Compared with the Battle of the Candle God in the distant years, the fear that the Battle of Mozhang brought to the people of the world was even better, if Mozhang was not dead, and was really suppressed in Qixia Street, how could the existence in the Divine Capital be ignored?
The fact that the monsters attacked the city alone could make them restless, and even descend directly on Huncheng.
Therefore, the monsters under Qixia Street are most likely to exist during the Battle of Candle God.
But to be suppressed by the immortals, no matter what the reason is, this monster is not simple.
Pei Jieran didn't refute it, first, he was too lazy to deal with it, and secondly, the conjecture was naturally multifaceted, and any speculation was allowed until it was confirmed.
After walking for about half a stick of incense, it finally came to the end.
Jiang Wang was dumbfounded.
There's nothing in front of you, it's just a wall.
"Could it be behind the stone wall?"
Although the underground cave is very deep, it is Qixia Street after all, and Jiang Wang is worried that if the stone wall is destroyed, it will cause the entire collapse of Qixia Street.
Pei Jieran observed carefully and said, "There are paintings on the stone wall. ”
Jiang Wang was surprised: "You are so afraid of the dark, but you can look so carefully?" ”
Miss Pei, who had a furrow in her chest, suddenly became murderous.
Jiang Wang instantly took it from his heart, this was not the time to nourish the Kingdom of God.
He looked carefully at the paintings on the stone walls.
There are also beasts.
There are also many strange species.
Jiang Wang realized something and said, "This can't be the picture of the Battle of Mozhang, or even the Battle of the Candle God, right?" ”
The mural depicts many camps, fighting each other.
He also saw gods as mighty as statues.
I saw someone stepping on the monster and pointed at the sky.
Seeing the monster with its bloody mouth wide open, devouring countless humans, to be precise, it should be a monk.
Seeing the statue of the god standing in heaven and earth, it was directly torn apart by another huge monster.
There were no immortals in the Battle of Mozhang, but there were indeed a very small number of gods who were worshipped in the battle.
But Jiang Wang's gaze shifted, and the scene of a mural somewhere made him breathe for a while, "Immortals?!" ”
Regardless of whether it is a monster or a god, it is very different from humans, only immortals, no different from people, but the 'people' recorded on the mural are glowing, which is a very vague vision, the mural itself does not shine, but as far as the eye can see, what is presented in the mind is a statue that exudes a dazzling light - an immortal.
No one in the world really sees immortals, but when they see them, they can subconsciously understand that they are immortals.
Pei Jieran said in a deep voice: "There are few records about the Battle of the Candle God, because it was an unprecedented battle, and no one had the opportunity to record the experience at that time. ”
Jiang Wang asked, "Who carved the mural?" ”
Pei Jieran shook his head.
The world has undergone several baptisms, and the environment has also undergone great changes.
The mural is in Huncheng, under Qixia Street, which does not mean that it was here at the beginning.
Those who can witness these images must be extremely powerful beings, and at least survive a certain battle to have a chance to portray.
But what is recorded in the mural is obviously only the tip of the iceberg.
It can only prove that the battle of Candle God was tragic, there is no antecedent, and there is no result.
There are gods who trample dozens of monsters to death with one foot, and there are also monsters who trample to death hundreds of monks with one foot, of course, this is not an accurate number of words, because it is impossible to depict so many people or demons in the murals.
But based on the dense black dots, and the towering mountains that resemble small mounds in front of the gods and youkai, the number of words in the tens and hundreds may be less.
Immortals sit high in the clouds, and if they move their hands, the world will suffer a catastrophe, and the lethality is even more terrifying.
Pei Jieran was carefully observing, trying to memorize every picture, and then copying it out and bringing it back to Shendu.
Jiang Wang looked at it for a while, and his attention was a little distracted.
Compared to the murals, he cares more about the suppressed monsters.
If it weren't for the yokai on the other side of the stone wall, it would only be possible that some details would have been overlooked.
Since the suppression was the stone in Qixia Street, the youkai may have been sealed in some stone or something.
Jiang Wang slowly walked back.
But as soon as he raised his foot, he was grabbed by Pei Jieran on the back of his neck.
Pei Jieran didn't say anything, but Jiang Wang could understand what she meant.
Very helpless, he could only stay by the side.
At this time, the voice of the Night Wanderer God sounded in his head, "I have sensed the demonic energy." ”
Jiang Wang frowned, and replied in his heart: "Because of being suppressed, the demonic qi can't be perceived, can you detect it?" ”
The Night Wanderer God said, "What do you mean by this, looking down on me? ”
Jiang Wang said: "You really didn't do any divine things, look at other gods, and then look at you, it's nothing." ”
Night Tour is angry, but he can't refute it.
Jiang Wang said again: "Although you are very wasteful, I still believe in you very much, let's say, where is the demonic energy?" ”
Night Wanderer hesitated: "I sensed the demonic energy, but I didn't find where it was......"
Jiang Wangyi said solemnly: "You are really a false god!" ”
The Night Wanderer was angry again, but he still couldn't refute it.
Ignoring the birds that draw circles in the kingdom of God, at least it proves that the monster is indeed here, but it can't be found for the time being.
Jiang Wangxian has nothing to do, so he can only follow to see the murals.
But he soon discovers a strange picture.
In the corner of the mural, there is a head.
It looks like a human face, but it looks green and fanged.
It was staring at the celestial immortals.
The mural should record what the person depicting sees, how can it be that there is a head abruptly, but not the whole body?
Jiang Wang pointed out the problem.
Pei Jieran glanced at it and said, "Perhaps due to the change of the environment, the murals are incomplete, and some of them are hidden in the stone wall, or they are divided in another place. ”
It makes sense, but Jiang Wang still thinks something is weird.
He stared straight at the head.
Soon the eyes were sour.
Pei Jieran said at this time: "Go back? ”
She's remembered it all.
Jiang Wang nodded, he couldn't find the monster, and he couldn't spend it here all the time, anyway, the monster couldn't run away.
But when they turned away.
The head's eyes suddenly moved.
Then he began to winkle his eyebrows.
It seems that because it is always open, it is also very sour.
