Chapter 124: The Legendary Jianmu
This time there was a big event in the Apennines.
The Daxia Safety Division immediately launched attention and research.
The Battle of the Vatican has already attracted a lot of media coverage around the world, and has generated great controversy among people around the world, especially in the West.
However, whether it is on the side of Great Xia or other countries, compared with the cause and process of the battle, the high-level is more concerned about the latest strong man in this battle, St. Longinus.
Ran Yu took several intelligence leaders of the Xia An Division to Shangshu Academy to report the situation.
"The information about St. Longinus has been clarified."
An intelligence chief explained: "St. Longinus is a figure in Christian legends. ”
"Ben was just an ordinary soldier who gained the power of God by piercing the body of Jesus with a spear, and from then on he was able to perform miracles, and therefore he was revered as a saint."
"Information about St. Longinus is scarce, only a handful of religious texts are written, and the details of his life or why he died and rose are not known."
Yang Qi asked, "How is this St. Longinus cultivating?" ”
The person in charge of intelligence replied, "There is not enough intelligence to accurately speculate, but judging from the situation with Dracula, I am afraid that it will be an existence that is no less than the Seven Heavens of the Mortal Realm." ”
The expressions of the crowd became solemn.
At this stage, there are very few powerhouses in the Seven Heavens of the Mortal Realm.
Any one of them is enough to affect the global power and pattern.
"This character is not trivial, we must gather more information to assess his impact on the world and Great Xia, and be prepared for various situations."
"Yes!"
Judging from the information collected by Cheyenne, although St. Longinus is very powerful, there are many restrictions and he will not leave the Vatican easily, and this appearance is only a flash in the pan.
That said, for Europe.
There is such a top powerhouse in charge.
It is enough to greatly boost the morale of the people.
This resurrected saint-killer will reside under the church for a long time, and his presence will become the anchor of the Holy See, making the Holy See the greatest beneficiary of this event.
Wei Qingshan asked at this time: "What does Director Ran think of the appearance of St. Longinus?" ”
The various departments of Shangshu set their eyes on Ran Yu, the global situation is changing and changing with each passing day, and the reason why Great Xia can be as stable as Mount Tai is because of this man in charge, and his views and suggestions have a lot of weight.
Ran Yu put forward his own opinion.
"If Jesus and God really exist in the long river of history, they must also be cultivators, although it is not clear how many ways to practice, but it must be a very difficult inheritance."
"This St. Longinus should be the core descendant of this lineage, his potential and strength should not be underestimated, with the prestige foundation of the Holy See, it is possible to create a super power, which should be taken seriously."
Wei Qingshan nodded in agreement.
He said: "What Director Ran said is extremely true. ”
"As far as I know, St. Peter's Basilica has been converted into St. Longinus's Basilica, which shows that the Holy See is determined to hug this thigh and completely bind itself to this being."
"Today, the Vatican, which is both the headquarters of the Witchers' Guild and the seat of St. Longinus, is likely to have a new spring with the influence it has built up over thousands of years."
"Great Xia should have a good relationship with it."
All the scholars nodded one after another.
Yang Qi said: "In the future era, the existence of St. Longinus will probably be like a carp crossing the river, and it is more important to pay attention to the internal development than to pay too much attention to the changes in the external situation." ”
He paused and continued: "Bringing Director Ran to a meeting today, in addition to discussing this matter, there is another very important matter. ”
Ran Yu: "Please give instructions to Yang Youcheng." ”
Yang Qi said: "We have reached preliminary negotiations with the Barak official, and the Barak official hopes that Daxia will assist in opening the Tower of Babel, and is willing to share the income from the Tower of Babel and the subsequent income with Daxia. ”
Everyone just felt refreshed.
The Barak government is very sincere.
They are not only willing to divide the harvested treasures obtained from the process of opening up the Tower of Babel with Great Xia, but also willing to share the subsequent income generated with Great Xia.
This has a special significance.
A large-scale ruin, the resources and treasures contained in it, cannot be taken away by just exploring the wasteland.
Take the relics of Taixuanzong as an example, eighty or ninety percent of the resources are all produced by subsequent development.
In addition to these direct benefits.
The Taixuanzong Ruins themselves are also a very good place, with quite abundant spiritual energy, as well as land suitable for cultivating spiritual plants, which can continuously produce resources in the long run.
The reason why the Barak government is willing to pay such a big price is mainly because its own strength is too weak, and it has to find a strong enough force to enter the game to support the scene.
Otherwise, no matter how many treasure resources there are in the Tower of Babel, Barak will most likely only be able to stare dryly, watching it be divided between various forces and transcendents from all over the world.
Yang Qi continued: "In addition, Barak officially promised that if Director Ran could do it himself, they would be willing to divide another 10% of the resources obtained in the process of land reclamation to Director Ran as a thank you. ”
The outcome of such negotiations is satisfactory.
Bactria and Barak each took what they needed.
Barak needs Great Xia's town and help develop the Secret Realm Ruins, and Great Xia can get a lot of benefits in this way.
Ran Yu nodded and said, "Ran is ready to set off at any time." ”
Yang Qi said: "Then there is Director Lao Ran in this matter, once this cooperation is successful, all small and medium-sized countries around the world will inevitably follow suit, which is enough to win a lot of benefits for Daxia." ”
Wei Qingshan added at this time: "Of course, compared to the interests in the secret realm, Director Ran is the real pillar of Great Xia, and if you encounter danger, you must take it as the premise of protecting yourself and retreating with your whole body." ”
Ran Yu said: "I'm not a reckless man, you can rest assured." ”
At this time, a Jinyi guard standing beside Ran Yu seemed to have received important news, so he lowered his head and whispered a few words.
Ran Yu's eyes flashed when he heard this.
Yang Qi noticed it and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Ran Yu showed a hint of a smile and said, "Brother Shen has successfully broken through the cultivation and exited the customs!" ”
Hear him say that.
The crowd was overjoyed.
Shen Mu broke through to the mortal realm!
Cheyenne will usher in the second powerhouse of the Mortal Realm!
is different from an existence like Ran Yu, he is a native of modern people, and he has practiced step by step.
Wei Qingshan and Yang Qi saw Shen Mu for the first time.
Although I haven't seen him for just two or three days, Shen Mu's temperament has changed a lot, and the whole person is like a sharp sword, exuding a terrifying sharpness from the inside out.
"Old Shen!"
"Congratulations!"
"I didn't expect that!"
"You actually broke through to the Mortal Realm so quickly!"
"Wei Zuocheng and I haven't even reached the Fifth Heaven of the Innate Realm yet!"
“……”
Yang Qi and others expressed their congratulations.
They are happy for Shen Mu from the bottom of their hearts.
Daxia is now the time to employ people, and having one more powerhouse like this in the mortal realm is of great significance to the overall strength of Daxia and the competition for future development opportunities.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!" Shen Mu thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "I was able to break through to the mortal realm so quickly, but I couldn't do without the support and cultivation of the director!" ”
Indeed it is.
Although Ran Yu was the number one leader of the Great Xia Security Division and the number one contributor to the development of the Taixuan Ruins, he barely used any of the resources in the Taixuan Ruins.
Ran Yu used all the heavenly treasures and elixirs that should have been assigned to him on Xia Ansi, and this is why so many high-level monks appeared in Xia Ansi in a very short period of time.
Shen Mu is Ran Yu's deputy.
Ran Yu attaches great importance to Shen Mu.
Not only are there many resources available.
He also taught Shen Mu Xuantian Sutra.
In the process of breaking through this retreat, Shen Mu also thoroughly practiced the Xuantian True Sutra, this technique is enough to cultivate to the Condensing Dao Realm, and its combat effectiveness is also very strong, far exceeding most advanced exercises.
And that's just the beginning!
Su Ying has reached the Ten Heavens of the Innate Realm!
She has been following Hang Qingmeng to concentrate on cultivation in Taihua Mountain, whether it is cultivation resources or cultivation environment, there is no shortage of cultivation resources, and she is expected to complete a breakthrough soon.
It's not just the brocade guards inside the Cheyenne Division.
Xia Anji has recently recruited a large number of strange people and super geniuses from all walks of life, and as long as these people are cultivated a little, it won't take long for them to enter the realm of metamorphosis.
Great Xia needs more cultivation resources!
Ran Yu said with a smile: "Brother Shen broke through at the right time!" ”
Shen Mu had already learned about Barak's negotiations, and naturally had a strong interest in the legendary Tower of Babel.
With their current strength.
is enough to become Ran Yu's assistant.
Time is tight.
The task is heavy.
There is no time for vacation.
Shen Mu was ready to go on a business trip as soon as he got out of the customs.
But just when the two were preparing for a business trip.
Something happened that no one expected to expect.
"Director Ran!"
"Commander Shen!"
"Major Emergencies!"
Several people in charge of Jinyi Wei hurriedly came in and reported something that shocked both of them.
This happened in Shucheng.
Recently, a large number of high-level demon beasts of unknown origin have appeared near Shucheng.
This incident attracted the attention of the local Jinyi Guard and reported it to the Xia An Division, and the Xia An Division quickly sent several elite combined military forces to encircle and suppress the demon beasts, and at the same time traced the origin of these demon beasts.
When a large number of high-level demon beasts of unknown origin appear in a short period of time in a certain place.
Then this place is likely to have natural treasures, and may even hide mysterious secret relics.
Just now.
There was a major discovery.
Ran Yu and Shen Mu saw a set of photos of the scene.
In a few photos, there are dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the weather in the Bashu region has been bad recently, but that's not the point.
Shen Shepherd Boy Kong shrinks: "This is ......"
In these photos, there is a huge and peculiar giant tree, its size is so large, standing on the vast earth, through the heavens and the earth, straight into the sky, it is shocking!
No doubt.
This is not a mirage.
There's no way there's anything like that in the real world.
This tree is not under the Fuso tree, or even more majestic than the Fuso tree, and the two are very different in appearance, and they will never be the same species.
The tree is much thicker, with no branches, only a trunk that appears to be made of nine super-large, leafy vines that look like a gigantic thread of green wood at first glance.
Secret Place!
Another secret place!
Judging from the scale, this secret realm is definitely not small!
Ran Yu was thoughtful and his expression was solemn, "I seem to have seen a description similar to this tree in ancient books. ”
"Really? What the hell is it! Shen Mu knew that Ran Yu had the ability to never forget, and if he could find the information of the secret realm, he might be able to bring great help to the development and exploration.
Ran Yu asked, "Brother Shen has heard of Jianmu?" ”
Shen Mu was stunned: "Jianmu? Sound familiar? This seems to be a kind of sacred tree in pre-Qin myths and legends! ”
"There is wood, green leaves and purple stems, Xuanhua Huangshi, the name is Jianmu, there are no branches, there are nine trees on it, there are nine wolfs under it, in fact, it is like hemp, its leaves are like mangs, and the big howl has been done."
Ran Yu directly recited a passage of the original text, "This is the record of Jianmu in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Classic of the Sea. ”
It's the Classic of Mountains and Seas again?
This pre-Qin Qi book.
Sure enough, there are a lot of secrets!
Shen Mu finally remembered.
Jianmu is a famous sacred tree in Chinese mythology.
It is said that the Yellow Emperor came to the world through this tree.
Later, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Zhuan, for the sake of peace in the world, destroyed this sacred tree and completely cut off the two worlds of heaven and man, and this is the ancient legend of the so-called "Jedi Tiantong".
It's just a legend, though.
But the story is clearly archetypal.
Ran Yu frowned and said with a solemn expression: "According to the records of relevant documents and legends, Jianmu is not an ordinary giant tree, but a divine tree that connects the heavenly realm and the human realm. ”
"The Tower of Babel in Barak, the Fuso Ancient Tree in Baja California in the Americas, and the Jianmu Sacred Tree that appeared in the land of Bashu."
"Brother Shen, do you think that some things are too coincidental!"
Shen Mu is not stupid.
Something immediately occurred to him.
The Tower of Babel, the Ancient Tree of Fuso, and the Sacred Tree of Jianmu.
In their respective legends, they all serve to connect heaven and earth.
Is it really just a coincidence that they are now appearing at about the same time? I'm afraid not!
Why did God destroy the Tower of Babel?
Why did Emperor Zhuan, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and one of the Five Emperors, want to be a Jedi Tiantong and destroy Jianmu!
Has the Fuso tree also been damaged? What exactly is the connection between them? This is likely to involve the secrets of a dawn era, which is really scary!
Although there have been many secret realm ruins around the world during this period of time, these three secret realms may have special significance!
They appear at the same time.
Or accompanied by certain secrets and big events.
It's just that there is too little information to know.
However, now there is a very tricky trouble in front of us, and the Jianmu Secret Realm is obviously no longer stable, and a large number of powerful and extremely harmful demon beasts have escaped from it.
Such a place must be controlled.
Otherwise, once the danger and hidden danger spill over, it will not only pose a threat to nearby cities, but may even affect the residents of the entire Bashu Basin.
But the problem is.
Great Xia had promised Barak.
Ran Yu has to set off to participate in the development of the Tower of Babel in the past two days, and he can't get out of the way for a while, can he only put down the matter of the Tower of Babel and deal with the troubles in the country first?
But if you do.
It will inevitably damage the credibility of Great Xia.
In the unlikely event that other forces intervene in the Tower of Babel during this period, I am afraid that it will cause considerable losses to the interests of Bactria and Barak.
Ran Yu weighed it again.
The Tower of Babel still has to go.
However, the appearance of the Jianmu Divine Tree cannot be left alone.
Great Xia has a profound heritage and can develop high-level secret realms not only Ran Yu alone, Taihua Mountain and Taibai Mountain, each has an elder.
This is the situation now.
I can only find a way to ask them to help.
Ran Yu immediately asked Shen Mu to arrange to go to Lotus Peak first.
