Chapter 181: Ancient Map
East of Ruiguang City, Liufu.
This is the second time that Zhang Yu has visited here, but this time, according to what Liu Guang said last time, he not only invited him, but also invited Zhu Anshi and Xin Yao.
If the identities of Zhang Yu and Xin Yao cultivators are excluded and only discussed in terms of specialization, then these four can be said to be the leaders of the generation of ancient naturalists in Taiyang Academy.
It was not without the predecessors who studied this way, but at that time, people focused more on deciphering texts and searching for ancient texts, so that the capital could better communicate with the indigenous tribes, to be able to fight against various alien gods, and to find out potential dangers, rather than purely for the purpose of research.
It seems that Qiu Xueling, and his student Zhan Zhitong are like this, they may have talents in a certain aspect, but they do not have an overall understanding of these ancient knowledge.
Zhu Anshi has a straight temperament, Liu Guang invited him this time to come under the pretext of exploring the history of the land era together, so after he said goodbye to everyone, he couldn't wait to take out a long box made of fine work, carefully placed it on the case, took out a volume of ancient drawings from inside, and slowly spread it out in front of everyone's eyes.
He said as he moved, "This is an ancient scroll I got two years ago, and it is probably the oldest document ever found on land in this land, perhaps something that has been handed down from the Upper Era and even the Upper Era. ”
As he spoke, the scroll was slowly unfolding.
Zhang Yu and the three of them all left their seats and walked over, this desk is very large, more than three feet, but this is only enough to accommodate this picture.
Zhang Yu looked at it, and he could see at a glance that this picture scroll should have been rubbed from a mural somewhere, so many places seemed a little mottled, but it was generally well preserved, and most of them depicted giants fighting and fighting there.
There are many scenes in the picture, some giants are killing each other, some giants are fighting against all kinds of creatures, all of them are powerful, and the most frequent appearance is a larger one.
The thing was dark and bloated, with its feet standing upright on the ground, but its upper body was like smoke, and countless arms were formed inside.
This couldn't help but think of the Chaos Monsters, although many of the current Chaos Monsters were transformed from cultivators, but the source of this kind of thing was not just one, long before the arrival of Tianxia, this kind of thing existed.
The presentation of the scroll does not seem to be narrative, from the content point of view, many scenes may come from different eras, and may even have different interpretations of the same thing, and each scene has no specific and strict boundaries, but is mixed in one place, looking particularly chaotic and difficult to distinguish.
Xin Yao's fingers couldn't help but hold up her glasses and said, "Ancient gods?"
Zhu Anshi said: "Yes. After the fall of the Annunciation, I went out of my way to collect clues about this kind of ancient deity, especially when I went to the place where the Ann God had suppressed, but unfortunately there was nothing there. ”
Xin Yao said: "I asked Senior Brother Xiang, there is no written record of the suppression of the gods, and it is very likely that the methods of the upper monks are involved, so it's no wonder you can't find it." ”
Zhu Anshi sighed: "Yes, and most of the people who knew about it back then were killed in the battle of Honghe Pass, but there is no endless road, do you still remember the overhaul of Ruiguang City two years ago?"
Liu Guang said: "I remember." Then he reacted and suddenly said, "You got this thing at that time, no wonder!"
Xin Yao nodded lightly and said, "Then it's over." ”
Because the layout and buildings of Ruiguang City in the past were built a hundred years ago, it has long been out of date, so two years have been renovated and expanded from the inside to the outside, many ancient buildings have been demolished or demolished and rebuilt, and a large number of antiquities have been sorted out and found at that time.
Zhu Anshi said: "Many of the buildings in our Ruiguang City were originally rebuilt from ancient temples, in order to facilitate the suppression of the peace of mind below, and now I have no doubts about this, and I also found this scroll at that time." ”
Liu Guangqi said: "This thing is so conspicuous, why haven't I heard about it?"
Zhu Anshi said with a little surprise: "My uncle worked in the Department of Ministers, and he was in charge of the demolition at that time, and after he found this mural in the stone, I rubbed it down in the past, and I found the people of Xuanfu to see that there was no supernatural power, so I planned to explore it myself." ”
Liu Guang couldn't help but look at Xin Yao and said, "Master Xin, it involves Xuanfu, you don't know?"
Xin Yao said indifferently: "I have been guarding the Honghe Pass for the past two years, I don't know what is going on here, Master Zhu should ask others to identify it." ”
Zhu Anshi said: "Liu Shijiao is good at ancient geography, Xin Shijiao is good at identifying all kinds of exquisite artifacts, and at the same time has to be distracted from practice, and I have the most experience in ancient murals and sculptures, so it is best for me to do this." ”
Liu Guang quipped: "Then why did Master Zhu take it out again today?"
Zhu Anshi said sincerely: "One person is poor, I have been studying for two years, and I feel that I can't see too many new things with my ability." A few of you are here today, and you may be able to see more from other directions. ”
Zhang Yu had already seen the scenes above at this time, but this picture was incomplete, in the middle of the picture, it was occupied by a blank space, which was extremely eye-catching, and many giants could be seen with their backs against the blank space.
Judging from the position it occupies on the picture, as well as the representation of the picture itself, what is depicted there should be the most important part of the whole picture.
Zhu Anshi noticed his gaze and said, "Master Zhang, this place was blank at that time, it's a pity, I've studied it for a long time, and from the blank traces, what do you think it looks like?"
Liu Guang slapped his palms with a folding fan and said thoughtfully: "This ......"
Zhu Anshi was about to speak, but he was suddenly stunned, but saw Zhang Yu stretching out his hand to stroke the air, and many colors reappeared in the originally blank place, and gradually spread like immersion in water, and soon filled all the vacancies.
Now you can see that it is a towering tree, and its branches and roots are deeply rooted in the map, representing every inch of the sky and the earth.
"This ......," he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "this is ......"
Zhang Yudao: "The picture itself is painted with spiritual materials, as long as there is a certain level and the right supernatural power blessing, it can reproduce the original appearance." ”
Zhu Anshi opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.
Xin Yao pushed her glasses and said, "Well, although the cultivation path is distracting, it is still very useful sometimes. ”
Zhu Anshi's face couldn't help but turn a little red.
Xin Yao glanced at Zhang Yu at this time, she just said that, but she knew that Fang Cai's stroke was definitely not simple, as Zhang Yu himself said, the strength needs to reach a certain level and be appropriate, she dared to say that it would never be possible to change the other people in the Xuanfu to do this, and forcing it would only destroy this picture.
Liu Guang was attracted by the big tree at this time, he pointed and said, "Everyone, do you see, these giant statues don't grow from this tree?"
Xin Yao stared at the branches that stretched one by one, the willow light was very keen, it was worthy of looking at the pictures often, and he could always refine the most unique places, indeed, looking at the extension of those branches, the giants on the paintings were like leaves and fruits growing on the branches.
Zhu Anshi muttered: "In this way, the meaning is very different......
He fell into deep thought, thinking that all the scenes were separate, but now that he looked at them, it was likely to be unified, which meant that the research he had done had to be overturned and repeated.
Xin Yao stretched out his hand at this moment and said, "Everyone, look here." ”
Liu Guang turned his gaze, but his expression was shocked, because he saw a man in a feather coat and a star crown standing in front of the giant, looking at that appearance, it was clearly a Tianxia cultivator!
He was surprised: "This, this is not right, this picture is at least something from the previous era, at that time, we Tianxia had not yet arrived on this land, how could there be a monk on the map? Could it be that someone added it later?"
Xin Yao said in a sure tone: "There is no such painting just now, this is out of nowhere." ”
Zhu Anshi also looked incredulous, and said: "Yes, I have been studying this painting for two years, and I have never seen this picture." ”
Zhang Yu looked at the painting and said slowly: "Some of the things shown in this picture are not the past, but some kind of future, if I am not mistaken, this should be a prophecy map with supernatural powers." ”
At the same time, in a private house in Ruiguang City, two monks were sitting together.
A person on the main throne was dressed in Tianxia ancient clothes, his eyes were sharp, and he said: "Zhang Yu ...... this time"
He opened his mouth, but was stopped by the Taoist with a long beard and deep eyes on the other side raised his hand, and the latter said in a deep voice: "Don't read that name at will, this person has profound merits, now that we are in Ruiguang City, so close to him, if you call him by his name like this, he may feel it." ”
The ancient costume monk on the opposite side was heartbroken, he nodded, and after a while, he said: "Among the Xuan cultivators now, the one who is most likely to achieve Xuan Zun is this person, and he is looking for an opportunity to break through the realm when he returns to the East Court this time." ”
He looked at the long-bearded Taoist on the other side and said, "I have to be killed, and I must try to stop him, and even if it is worse, I will delay his opportunity to become enlightened."
There is no Upper Realm monk here in the East Garden, and there are no powerful cultivators, it is the time when it is convenient to start, if he returns to Kuisu, to a place where we can't reach out, then there is no way to stop it, so this may be our last chance. ”
The long-bearded Taoist became serious and said, "This person is a powerful Taoist friend who also knows, what are you going to do?"
The monk said: "We can't deal with him, we can find someone who can deal with him, I have a chess piece in my hand now." ”
"You mean that Pang Li?" the long-bearded Taoist shook his head and said, "He hasn't even cultivated the Yuanying Shadow, how can he have the ability to fight against that person?"
The monk in ancient clothes said: "He can't do it now, but after communicating with the Great Chaos, it may not be successful." ”
"Did you say he would be a Chaos Monster......
The long-bearded Taoist was not optimistic, "What's the use of that, that Ji Shouzhen hasn't been wiped out by this person yet." ”
The ancient costume monk said: "That's because that Ji Shouzhen doesn't know how to master his own power, but if we guide us, and the methods passed down from above, we can create a more powerful chaos monster, the key is that under our guidance, Pang Li has enough hatred for that person." ”
The long-bearded Taoist pondered for a moment before saying, "Then let's try it." ”
"There is one more problem that needs to be solved. ”
"What's the problem?"
The monk in ancient clothes said solemnly: "To deal with him, we must first solve the people around him, especially the one named Xu Chengtong, not to mention the profoundness of his deeds, but also extremely loyal to that person. ”
