Chapter 25: The Lamp of the Gods (Part II)
Under the portrait is a simple white jade lamp, shaped like a white lotus out of the water, not stained with dust, the lamp holder is vaguely engraved with sword patterns, because of the age and blurred, can only vaguely see the shape of the sword pattern.
Shi Sheng could clearly sense that the strong sense of intimacy came from this white jade ancient lamp, and he couldn't help but walk towards the white jade ancient lamp.
The black-bearded old man suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Shi Sheng, and said, "Stop, there is a lantern protection barrier around the Zhenshen Lamp, and if you go any further, you will be injured." Shi Sheng's heart sank, and he hurriedly stopped, stopped at the five zhang of the Zhenshen lamp, glanced at the Zhenshen lamp, and thought that it was worthy of being the treasure of the Zhenzu clan of the Chilie Department, not only guarded by the three elders of the Taishang, but also protected by the enchantment, in order to be perfect, it was really ......
Thinking of this, Shi Sheng was suddenly startled, stunned for a moment, and said, "This...... Is this the Zhenshen Lamp?" the black-bearded old man bowed slightly, looked at the Zhenshen Lamp, looked solemn, and said: "Yes, this is one of the two treasures of our clan, the Zhenshen Lamp." ”
"No, no. Shi Sheng said: "I have used the Zhenshen lamp, it is not like this...... Speaking of this, the words were abrupt, and he was stunned for a moment Fang said: "The previous lamp...... Is it fake?"
The old man with the black beard had a hot face, and laughed dryly, to show his acquiescence, Shi Sheng had already understood in his heart, at the beginning, the Silver Moon Palace came to the Red Lie Department to borrow the town god lamp in order to pass through the ghost fog, and the Red Lie Department looked at Shi Sheng's face, and it was inconvenient to refuse, but this town god lamp was used to protect the clan, how could it be lent to others? For this matter, Tai Shi Tu Long was not less complained by the three elders of Taishang, and finally the three elders of Taishang joined forces to take the power of the magic lamp and made a fake town lamp, so that Tai Shi Tulong handed it over to the Silver Moon Palace.
Tai Sturon was reluctant though. But there was no other way, to give the fake Zhenshen lamp to Shi Sheng, although the fake did not have the terrifying power of the real Zhenshen lamp, but it was enough to dispel the heart-eroding ghost fog, and it could be regarded as keeping the promise, at that time, the negative origin in Shi Sheng's body had not been used up, hindering his induction, because he had no affection for the fake Zhenshen lamp.
Thinking about this section, Shi Sheng's heart was full of feelings, and he believed in "treating people with sincerity." and they will be sincere to me." Saying anything, he didn't expect Tai Shi Tulong to lie to him, and his face was pale, and the white-haired old man seemed to see what Shi Sheng was thinking, and smiled slightly. "Child." The power of the Zhenshen lamp is monstrous. Together with the holy flame, it is listed as the two most precious treasures of our clan, and the holy flame gives birth to our clan, like a mother. The Zhenshen lamp guards my clan, like a father, how can parents borrow it?"
Shi Sheng's heart sank, and he suddenly understood the hardships of Tai Shi Tu Long and the three elders of Tai Shang, not because the Chi Lie Department was stingy with the treasure, but because for the Red Lie Ministry, the significance of the holy flame and the Zhenshen lamp was too great, Shi Sheng's heart was grateful to Tai Shi Tulong, after all, Tai Shi Tulong was willing to borrow the lamp for him, it was really benevolent and righteous, maybe he suffered a lot for this, Shi Sheng felt quite sorry in his heart.
The old man with long eyebrows stared at Shi Sheng and said: "Child, you feel kind to the power of the magic lamp, which means that you have a strong affinity with the Zhenshen lamp, and the three of us will open the enchantment later, you go to the Zhenshen lamp to meditate for three days, if you can't hold on, you will knock on the ground, the interval is three long and two short, and the old man will come to pick you up." ”
"Yes. Shi Sheng responded, but his heart was a little hesitant, the white-haired old man seemed to see through Shi Sheng's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, the old man will order to go down, let the mystery trial be postponed for a few days, and it will not delay your participation in the grand event of the township." ”
Shi Sheng's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you seniors." The elder with long eyebrows said, "Let's start." After that, the three elders stood side by side in front of the enchantment, stretched out their hands and held down the enchantment, and the three of them ran the skill at the same time, and in an instant, the enchantment opened, and the elder with long eyebrows said: "Child, go in quickly." ”
"Yes. Shi Sheng walked quickly towards the Zhenshen lamp, sitting cross-legged in front of the shrine dedicated to the Zhenshen lamp, the three elders of Taishang withdrew their hands, and the enchantment was quickly restored, and the elder Changmei said: "Child, you can meditate here for three days, remember not to touch the Zhenshen lamp and the enchantment, if there is something urgent, knock on the floor, the old man can hear it." ”
Shi Sheng responded: "Yes, the juniors know." The old man with long eyebrows nodded, and the old man with the black beard said: "Child, it is best if you can hold on for three days, if you can't hold on, remember not to be strong, otherwise your life will be in danger." "There is a lot of concern.
Shi Sheng said respectfully: "Yes, thank you seniors for reminding me." After the third elder Taishang placed Shi Sheng, he stepped downstairs, returned to the sixth floor, sat down in place, and the black-bearded old man said: "Big brother, second brother, do you think this child can fit perfectly with the Zhenshen lamp?"
The white-haired old man said: "He is so close to the Zhenshen lamp, but his breath is running like flowing water, not chaotic at all, there is no urgency, in my opinion, this child can probably fit perfectly with the Zhenshen lamp." ”
The black-bearded old man had a happy face and said: "If this is the case, it will be a blessing for my clan! For more than two hundred years, only the Xuanzhi Ancestor can perfectly fit with the Zhenshen Lamp, and the rest of the people who hold the lamp can only exert the power of the Zhenshen Lantern at most, if this child can become a person who is in charge of the lamp that fits perfectly with the Zhenshen Lamp, it will definitely be able to revive the prestige of my Chilie Department!"
The old man with long eyebrows glanced at the old man with black beard and said, "Third brother, have you forgotten your uncle back then?" The old man with the black beard was stunned, and suddenly fell silent, and turned his eyes to look at the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man sighed lightly, a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, and the old man with long eyebrows said: "Uncle Zi entered the Mahayana realm at a young age, and the fit with the Zhenshen lamp can be described as perfect, even the Xuanzhi Ancestor may not be able to resist the power of the magic lamp for four days when he is in the Mahayana realm." ”
The black-bearded old man sighed and said regretfully: "Yes, if it weren't for the tragedy back then, Uncle Zi would be the best candidate to be in charge of the lamp." ”
The white-haired old man sighed and said, "Poor Yang'er is full of heart and blood, and he just wants to revive our department, but he was framed and wrongfully killed, and even Zhuang'er was killed. When the old man with long eyebrows and the old man with black beard heard this, they were silent, and they sighed secretly in their hearts.
The white-haired old man's name is Zi Shuzhu, which is the Taishang elder of the Zi Shu clan, the elder of the elder with long eyebrows is named Zuo Qiu Song, and the old man with black beard is named Zuo Qiu Bai, the two are the Taishang elders of the Zuoqiu clan, and the three elders are full-time guardians of the town god lamp, and are known as the three elders of the town god by the clansmen.
Zi Shuyang, who was unjustly killed, is the grandson of Zi Shuzhu, Zi Shuyang has two sons under his knees, the eldest son is named Zi Shuzhen, and the younger son is named Zi Shujuri, when Zi Shuyang's family was unjustly killed, Tai Shi Tu Long secretly dropped Zi Shu Hori, Zi Shu Yang and his wife and the eldest son Zi Shu Zhen all died, only Zi Shu Yang escaped and was sent to the Purple Heart Department of Sanhe County in the Blue Country by Tai Shi Tulong.
Tai Shi Tu Long saved Uncle Zi Hori in secret, only he and a few cronies knew, and even Uncle Zi Zhu didn't know that Uncle Zi was not dead.
Uncle Zi is extremely talented, and he is the first person in the Red Flame Department for more than 200 years, and has a strong affinity with the Zhenshen Lamp, and has sat quietly next to the Zhenshen Lantern for four days, and is the best candidate for the person in charge of the lamp.
The Red Lie Department attaches great importance to Zi Shujuri, and regards him as the second Xuanzhi Heavenly Ancestor to cultivate, who expected that because of the grand event in the township, Zi Shuyang was unjustly killed, and Zi Shuju was also implicated and sentenced to death.
The three elders of the town god are extremely strong, and their status is also high, but the power in the clan is not large, the three of them are tired of the pursuit of power by several nobles, so they asked for an idle position, to protect the town god lamp, when Zi Shuju was sentenced to death, the three elders of the town god had come forward to intercede, but failed to convince the five nobles and clans, they could only watch Zi Shuju be executed, of course, they did not know that the executed Zi Shu Hori was a substitute for Tai Shi Tulong's bag.
It took more than 200 years to come up with a candidate for the lamp that could fit perfectly with the town god lamp, and the three elders of the town god have been very sorry for the death of the son uncle, and when it was mentioned at this moment, the three of them were silent.
But it was said that Shi Sheng was meditating next to the Zhenshen lamp, but he felt that there was no difficulty at all, except for the warm comfort, there was no strange feeling, he naturally didn't know that his true qi and the power of the magic lamp were the same kind, and there was no conflict at all, how could he feel strange?
Zi Shu is born with an alien body, and his true qi can resist the decomposition of the positive true qi to a certain extent, so that he can meditate by the Zhenshen lamp for four days, but four days is also the limit of Zi Shubori, and Shi Sheng ...... There's no limit at all, and you can sit as long as you want!
There was nothing to do left and right, Shi Sheng simply sat on the ground to cultivate, meditate and concentrate, two days passed, the trial of the tower had already ended, Zi Shuzhu also kept his promise, ordered the trial of the mystery to be postponed for three days, and sent someone to inform the wolf tooth department, so that they did not have to worry about Shi Sheng.
At noon on the third day, another hour later, Shi Sheng meditated for three days, and his cultivation came to an end, Shi Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly saw a person standing a few feet away, with his back to him, looking up at the portrait of Xuanzhi Heavenly Ancestor.
Shi Sheng was taken aback, this person was actually standing in front of him like the three elders of the town god, but he didn't feel the existence of this person at all, and he was a super strong man! Shi Sheng fixed his mind and looked closely, but he saw that this person was a tall man, tall and tall, wearing a gray coat, his hair was gray, hanging down untied, carrying his hands behind his back, his long sleeves were on the ground, and his body was full of an indescribable sense of vicissitudes and sorrow.
Shi Sheng saluted: "In Xia Shisheng, I have seen my predecessors. The man looked at the portrait of Xuanzhi Heavenly Ancestor and muttered: "Life is less than a hundred, and he often has a thousand years of worries.
Shi Sheng was confused, and he didn't know why, so he called carefully: "Senior?" The man sighed, didn't look back, and asked, "Your name is Shi Sheng?"
Shi Sheng's heart sank, this senior actually knew himself, and hurriedly replied: "Yes." The man said, "Thank you for helping our people and perpetuating the flame." Shi Sheng said: "The credit of the end is not enough to thank the seniors." ”
The man said: "I will only say the word 'thanks' once, you are also a member of my Chilie tribe now, and it is your duty to continue the holy flame and protect the clansmen." ”
Shi Sheng's heart sank, and he said solemnly: "What the seniors said is very true, and the younger generations should remember it." The man was silent for a while, and said, "You...... You are the most perfect person in charge of the lamp, and you are far inferior to you, and I have been waiting for you for more than a hundred years, and I will have to pick up the burden of protecting our people in the future.
