Chapter 352: When settling accounts

readx;? This palace, although the space is not large, seems to be a little empty, and there is no magnificent decoration. On both sides of the www.biquge.info palace, there are some cases and futons, and jade pots and bowls are placed on several cases. Obviously, this is a place for those disciples who have broken through to rest and rest.

The gate of the palace was open, and Ye Zan and the others could see the outside at a glance, and they could also see that this palace should be located halfway up a mountain. Outside the gate, after descending the steps, a bluestone paved road spirals towards the top of the mountain.

Looking up at the top of the mountain, there is a huge tree growing very prominently. The height of the tree is a thousand feet, and the trunk is thick like a pillar of the sky. The huge canopy of the tree was like a canopy covering the sky, and the dense foliage made a rattling sound, which even reached the ears of everyone on this side of the palace.

"Okay, what a big tree!" Lin Mumu exclaimed in great surprise as he walked to the gate of the palace and looked up at the giant tree on the mountain peak in the distance.

Everyone walked out of the palace one after another, stood on the steps in front of the gate, and looked at the giant tree on the mountain peak, and their faces were full of surprise. Such a huge tree is not uncommon, but in their impression, it can be said to be unique. The so-called towering tree in their impression is probably like a weed under the tree in front of this giant tree.

It is impossible for an ordinary tree to grow so huge, even if it grows without disease or disaster for countless years, it is impossible to grow to such a scale. Obviously, being able to be valued by Xuanqing Dao Ancestor and deliberately set up a unique realm for it, this giant tree definitely has an extraordinary origin.

"You listen to the sound of the leaves swinging, it seems to imply the rhyme of the Great Dao, causing Jin Dan to move secretly, could it be that this tree is the legendary Enlightenment Tree?" Hou Qingyun of the Heavenly Fu Sect guessed in disbelief.

However, Zhang Qian of the Tianbao Sect immediately shook his head and smiled: "What kind of enlightenment tree is this! The legendary enlightenment tree is the first tea tree in heaven and earth. What's more, legend has it that on the Enlightenment Tree, there are 3,000 leaves, representing the 3,000 avenues between heaven and earth. What about this tree, where are the leaves of the three thousand, I'm afraid there are thirty thousand. ”

"These three thousand leaves are imaginary fingers, and the avenue between heaven and earth is not more than three thousand, how do you know that it must not be thirty thousand. Hou Qingyun's face was slightly red.

The three thousand avenues are indeed imaginary fingers, and the legend says that there are three thousand leaves on the Enlightenment Tree, which is of course also a kind of imaginary finger. However, no matter how empty the finger is, it is impossible to be so virtual, after all, the gap is too big. What's more, as Zhang Qian said, the Enlightenment Tree is a tea tree, and the tea tree does not look like this.

Therefore, Hou Qingyun himself actually knew that his guess was unreliable, and he just forcibly argued for the sake of face.

"I feel that the appearance of this tree is a bit like the legendary ancient tree. A voice came from behind everyone, and it turned out to be Cheng Daqi of the Star Sect who came from behind, and continued: "In the sixth layer of the Tower of Babel, I saw some ancient books, and among them mentioned this primordial ancient tree. Judging from the images depicted in ancient books, it is quite similar to this tree. ”

"The Primordial Ancient Tree, don't be kidding, the legendary Primordial Ancient Tree has already turned into this world, how could it appear here. What's more, those ancient books were also written by people, who could see the appearance of the primordial ancient tree before the beginning of heaven and earth?" Zhang Qian retorted with a funny face.

There are countless legends about the origin of the world, in any world. Of course, on the side of the technological world, there is already a theory of the Big Bang, which is a relatively accepted and reliable explanation. In this world, there is no such statement that can convince everyone.

The legend of the primordial ancient tree is one of the many theories about the origin of the world. It is said that it is a seed born in chaos, and when it grows, it separates and clears, and the crown of the tree turns into the sky, the roots of the tree turn into the earth, and the trunk in the middle turns into everything between heaven and earth.

There is also a legend that a great god named Pangu was also bred from the chaos, and he thought that the chaos was too depressing, so he took a big axe and split the chaos, which is the so-called opening of the world. After splitting, the pure qi rises to the heavens, and the turbid qi descends to the earth, and as a result, the two have to merge together. So the great god of Pangu was furious, his hands supported the sky, his feet stepped on the ground, and he died while holding on, and his body turned into everything in heaven and earth.

Regarding the opening of Pangu, there is also the same legend in the ancient Huaguo in the world of science and technology, and the reason why the two worlds have the same legend is actually very simple, don't forget that the old Tao of Xuanyuan passed ten thousand years ago. Although Xuan Yuan Lao Dao has been hiding in the jade plate, he can also have a certain impact on people through some mental fluctuations.

So, in the ancient Chinese country, there is a legend of Pangu opening the world, and there are many stories of fairies, devils and monsters.

Xuan Yuan Lao Dao did this, of course, not to be idle and bored, looking for things to relieve boredom. Of course, boredom is also a reason, but the more important reason is that he hopes to use this method to guide people in the technological world into a monastic civilization, and then someone can help him get out of trouble.

It's just that this influence of the Xuanyuan Old Dao is still too illusory after all, not to mention that the environment of the technological world is not suitable for cultivation. Therefore, although there were many people who were committed to the Tao in the history of the ancient Chinese Kingdom, no one really achieved the Tao.

Speaking of returning to the legend of the ancient tree at the beginning of the world, in fact, there are many similarities with Pangu's opening of the world. For example, they are all conceived in chaos, they are all separated and turbid into heaven and earth, they all support heaven and earth until death, and they are all bodies transformed into all things in the world.

Therefore, it can be said that whether it is the primordial ancient tree or the Pangu god, at the same time that heaven and earth are separated, they will also dissipate between heaven and earth. According to legend, after the separation of heaven and earth, what dragon and phoenix catastrophes, and what lich disputes, and then the human race began to gradually become the protagonist of the world.

By the time the human race became the protagonist of heaven and earth, I am afraid that many thousands of years have passed since the beginning of heaven and earth. How could the human race know what the Ancient Tree or the Great God of Pangu looked like? Even if the author of that ancient book was a powerful mana, it was unlikely that he would travel back in time and space to that era and see the Ancient Tree with his own eyes.

And it's not just the Terrans. Since the legend says that the trunk of the primordial ancient tree turned into all things in heaven and earth. In other words, the appearance of all living beings is after the disappearance of the primordial ancient tree. In this way, where can the author of that ancient book find the information about the ancient tree of the primordial for reference?

"Okay, don't care what kind of tree it is, since it seems to be beneficial to our cultivation, let's go up there and take a look, maybe there will be some surprises." Ye Zan looked at the giant tree and said, ending everyone's speculation and argument.

Cheng Daqi said that the ancient books he saw on the sixth floor of the Tower of Babel, Ye Zan had actually read it. Or it can be said that all the books and materials on the sixth layer are already stored in Ye Zan's database. Therefore, as soon as Cheng Daqi mentioned this, Ye Zan was already in his mind, and let the auxiliary chip start retrieving the information in the database.

Ye Zan not only found the ancient book that Cheng Daqi said from the database, but also found some other related books and materials. The ancient book that Cheng Daqi said, called "The Examination of the Flood and Wilderness", is similar to an archaeological book, but after all, it does not have the rigorous research methods of science and technology. Therefore, the content in "The Examination of the Flood Wilderness", the author is conclusive, but he can't produce any convincing evidence, and it looks like a book written by imagination alone.

Originally, Ye Zan didn't care much about it, but when he saw the author of "The Flood Wilderness Examination", he couldn't help but be taken aback. The author of "Hong Huang Kao" is named Taiqing, others may not be able to see anything, but he has a complete genealogy of the Yuqing Sect. That "Taiqing" is on the first page in the genealogy of the Yuqing Sect, and he is the senior brother of the founding patriarch of the Yuqing Sect.

Why is it said that he is the senior brother of the founder of the mountain, and not one of the founding patriarchs? It turns out that this Taiqing has no interest in the founding of the sect and preaching, and has only accepted one disciple in his life, and that disciple has not yet been included in the door wall of the Yuqing Sect. Therefore, among the many inheritances of the Yuqing Sect, there is no inheritance of the Taiqing branch, and naturally it cannot be regarded as one of the founding patriarchs.

Since this "Examination of the Flood Wilderness" was written by such a powerful person, then Ye Zan has to change his mind. After all, there are many things in this world that Ye Zan can't explain with the little science he has mastered. Therefore, he can't say for sure that the content of other people's books is all conjecture out of thin air.

If the content of "The Flood Examination" is reliable, then the giant tree on the peak, although it is still impossible to be the primordial ancient tree, has nothing to do with the primordial ancient tree.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Zan did not dare to let others continue to discuss. Originally, he was made an inheritor by Ta Lao, and it was already easy for others to covet him. If others knew that there was a tree related to the primordial ancient tree, it would really lead to a catastrophe.

You know, this primordial tree, according to legend, is the tree of creation. Even if Ye Zan, a little Jindan Grandmaster, can't figure out what this tree can do, as long as he has a brain, he can guess that its value is definitely extraordinary.

Ye Zan had the heart to ask Ta Lao, but when he thought about what Ta Lao was like before, he decided not to bother for now, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.

After listening to Ye Zan's words, everyone didn't think too much, they just felt that what Ye Zan said made sense. It doesn't matter what kind of tree it is, as long as it's good for you, you can go and see it, and it's impossible to move that tree anyway.

So, Ye Zan and the others, as well as a few members of the Xingchen Sect, walked down the steps in front of the palace, along the bluestone road, towards the giant tree at the top of the peak.

However, after walking not far, Lin Mumu suddenly said: "Brother Ye, didn't those people from the Demon Dao come out one step ahead of us? ”

"Have you already arrived under that tree?" said Shi Yingjie next to him.

However, at this moment, everyone suddenly felt that it was dark in front of them, and the heavens and the earth seemed to fall into darkness all of a sudden. At the same time, around everyone, there was an endless sound of ghosts crying and howling, which made everyone's hearts shake for a while, and all the mana instantly became chaotic.

"Gu Feng!" Ye Zan immediately thought that Gu Feng of the Hundred Ghost Sect among the few people in the Demon Dao, only that Gu Feng could make such a scene.

"Haha, Ye Daoyou, the old man has been waiting for you here for a long time. A voice, mixed with the howl of the ghost crying god, ethereally came from all directions, into the ears of Ye Zan and the others.

"Gu Feng, we have no grudges and no hatreds, and we have a lot of cooperation in the Tower of Babel, what do you want to do when you suddenly come here like this?" Ye Zan frowned slightly, and while trying his best to stabilize his mind, he asked Gu Feng as if he didn't care.

"No resentment and no hatred, in that underground labyrinth, among the people who sneaked up on us and others, I'm afraid there is Ye Daoyou. Gu Feng's voice floated in an eerie manner, and his tone was full of resentment.

Sure enough, there are still some sequelae of that sneak attack. At the beginning, Ye Zan didn't expect that the people from the mysterious forces would come, so when he attacked the people of the Demon Dao, he was not very careful about hiding himself.

And a few people from the Demon Dao had obviously already suspected Ye Zan for a long time. It's just that Ye Zan has always been overcrowded, which makes a few people in the Demon Dao quite jealous, so they can only pretend not to know the truth and wait for the autumn queen to settle accounts.

Now, the chaos on the side of the Demon Dao must know that the people of the Dao Palace and the Freemasons cannot come out. In this way, Ye Zan's side is at most a baby ancestor of Ye Xiao, and maybe even Ye Xiao can't come out. As for those Jindan Grandmasters, how could they take it seriously, they naturally felt that the time had come to settle accounts.

"Yes, it is indeed what I did next, it is really difficult for Gu Daoyou to hold back for so long. Ye Zan simply admitted it, he couldn't hide it anyway, so why bother to defend himself.

In fact, Ye Zan knew very well in his heart that this sneak attack was just a reason for the other party's action. The real reason is probably in his identity as the inheritor, after all, when he left, he had already threatened himself.

"Since that's the case, then Ye Daoyou, please go on the road!" Gu Feng said in a dark voice.

And as Gu Feng's words fell, countless ghosts suddenly appeared around. Those ghosts are not illusions, but real hideous-looking ghosts. As soon as those powerful ghosts appeared, they immediately roared and rushed towards Ye Zan and the others, as if a hungry person saw a table of delicacies.

Ye Zan and the others naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately wanted to sacrifice the magic weapon flying sword. However, due to the disturbance of the ghost crying god's howl, most people's mana was still in chaos, and few people were able to successfully sacrifice the magic weapon flying sword. Even if it is the magic weapon flying sword, its power is very weak, and the flying sword is crumbling in the air, where is there still the strength to kill the enemy. (To be continued.) )
