Chapter Twenty-Four: A Hundred Thousand Miles
"Where is this?"
With the sound of the rushing water, the giant turtle surfaced, twisted its neck and pushed it a few times, Zhao Qian woke up hazy, looking around with a confused face.
Although the territory of the Immortal Court is thousands of miles long, after so many years, except for a few forbidden places, it has already been explored.
There are a total of 39 versions of the Xianting territory map, with the highest precision, and the exhibition point error and content transfer error are all less than 0.001 mm, which Zhao Qiantong engraved in his heart.
But in my memory, I never saw this lake.
The lake is blue and endless, surrounded by a bay of golden, moon-bud-shaped sand.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he reached out and dipped it in the lake water, and when he put it in his mouth, a bitter salty taste suddenly spread.
"It's... This is the land of the four seas? Is the Hidden Dragon Abyss really connected to the four seas?"
Turning around and looking back, beside the beach, there were strange-shaped trees everywhere, the brown trunks were covered with scars, the leaves were like plantains, and the fruits were full of human heads.
"Coconut palms, this is a specialty of the South China Sea..."
is worthy of being a top student with a full score in cultural classes, just at a glance, he recognized it.
However, from the Immortal Court to the Four Seas, the straight-line distance is more than 100,000 miles, and no matter how fast the giant turtle swims, it will take several months, right?
But in my feelings, I didn't sleep for long...
He took a deep breath, the air around him was hot and humid, and there was a lack of a feeling of freshness.
"Sure enough, it's outside the Immortal Court, and the aura is much thinner... Well, let's try to use Xianxun first...
I haven't been in touch with Yang Balang and Gao Xiaojian for a few days, and I don't know what these two guys are doing... As the boss, you have to take care of it!"
Opening the bracelet, Zhao Qian sent a message to Yang Balang.
......
Nine hundred and ninety-nine miles next to the Imperial Palace Mountain.
A majestic black archway stands in the middle of the vast mountains.
This torii is a kilometer high, and the columns on both sides alone are as thick as 100 meters, and there are nine rows of such columns, which can support such a huge body above.
Behind this archway, there are hills ranging from several meters to tens or hundreds of meters, which are also mainly black.
However, most of the hillocks have been severely weathered, and in many places, the dark red stone foundations on the inside have been exposed.
But there are still many hillocks that are still as bright as new, and every black stone covered on them is extremely smooth.
At this time, the four seas where Zhao Qian was located were sunny, but it was late at night in the fairy court.
The moonlight was like a wash, and the two figures sneakily shuttled among those ancestral tombs.
Both men wore strange disguises, one with eyes painted all over his face, and the other wearing a hideous animal scalp cover.
"Hachiro, the one in front, isn't there a big Yang character written on the inscription, what's wrong?"
From ancient times to the present, Yang is a big surname, in the ancient heavenly court, in addition to my ancestors, there are several big people surnamed Yang... Of course, my family must be number one...
That ancestral tomb just now, didn't you see what was written on it? Beidou Yang Liu! That is the ancestral tomb of the Yang family in Linzhou in the end of the law era after the Ancient Heavenly Court, and it has a half-dime relationship with our Guan Kou Yang family?"
I don't know how many years the world of mountains and seas has existed, but according to the research of Xianting historians, it is roughly divided into four eras: the ancient wilderness, the ancient heavenly court, the end of the law, and Kyushu.
In every era, there are capable people, and even in the era of the end of the law, there are still people who are called ancestors.
In history, every time the era turns because of the catastrophe, it also ends because of the catastrophe.
Three catastrophes, four eras, how many heroes have appeared?
Almost all of them are buried here and receive incense offerings.
Of course, most of these ancestral tombs are nothing more than mounds of clothing.
In particular, those saints of the Ancient Heavenly Court era are said to have gone to the other world before the end of the Dharma to survive, and they are still missing.
Although today's Immortal Court is a continuation of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the major forces in the Immortal Court are inherited from various eras.
For example, the Sun family, where the current speaker is located, is the era when the family started and bordered the ancient wilderness and the ancient heavenly court.
Gao Xiaojian's Gao Laozhuang Development Group still has some roots with the Sun family, and they also come from the same era.
Among the middle and lower class forces, on the contrary, most of them came from the era of the end of the law.
The two of them bent over and continued to look for their target.
This ancestral tomb, except for the guards of the Zhishu Palace, very few people come on weekdays.
After a long time, those guards are also a little perfunctory, and they often just deal with errands when patrolling.
After all, every ancestral tomb, no matter how dilapidated it is, is guarded by a formation, and even if the fairyland comes here and no one leads it, it is extremely difficult to break through.
When the two of them came, they had already done their homework, and spent a lot of time figuring out the time and location of the guards' patrols, and with the saved obstacle charms and phantom charms, they were really like fish in water, and they were very relaxed.
But the Yang family has been in decline for too long, and no one has come to worship the ancestral tomb for a long time, and even Yang Balang himself only knows a general direction, and he can only touch the elephant blindly and look for it one by one.
But among the courtyard tombs, there are thousands of large and small ancestral tombs, and even if they know the direction, the two of them are still dizzy.
It's the third day, and I still haven't found it.
Gao Laozhuang's ancestral tomb is easy to find, but that place is too conspicuous, and the ancestral tomb of the Sun family is close together, which is the key protection object of the Zhishu Palace.
"Hey, Hachiro, we seem to have been here before... Look at the little lake on the left, does it sound familiar?"
"Damn, is this a ghost hitting the wall? We've all been back and forth here three times..."
"There are tens of thousands of old ghosts here... Are we going to turn it tens of thousands of times? I don't have much dry food..."
"Hey, look over there..."
"Lying grass, so many guards?"
"Hell, where did you come from?"
"Phantom Talisman! Can't see me, can't see me!"
The two of them turned into a ball of green qi and merged with the bushes beside them.
Rows of guards in black helmets and armor came from a distance, and stood in front of a not very tall ancestral tomb, divided into two rows.
An old man and a young man came from behind, knelt three times and bowed nine times in front of the ancestral tomb, and then sprinkled the blood on the stone tablet in front of the ancestral tomb.
Yang Balang and Gao Xiaojian were not far away, only to feel the ground tremble slightly, and a black arch appeared on the front of the ancestral tomb.
An old man and a young man walked in front and back, and the old man seemed to inadvertently glance in the direction where the two were.
......
In order to save the illusion talisman, the two have always used only one, and the posture is inevitably a little weird.
Gao Xiaojian landed on all fours, Yang Balang lay on top of him, and suddenly felt that this guy was a little abnormal, and the whole person seemed to be trembling.
According to the saying of the end of the law era, after following Zhao Qian, the two formed a CP, and they have been mixing together for the past few months, and they already have a tacit understanding with each other.
Gao Xiaojian has always been bold and reckless, but at this time, he was like a quail that had fallen into the water, obviously frightened.
Yang Balang looked up at the back that had disappeared at the arch, a little inexplicable.
But at this time, he didn't dare to speak, he still didn't hold back for a long time, and wrote two words on Gao Xiaojian's waist with his fingers: "Who is it?"
Gao Xiaojian's body stiffened, his whole muscles tensed instantly, and he remained motionless for a few seconds, and it was easy to hold back his smile, and he turned around and glared at Yang Balang angrily, his eyes were like knives.
If you ask, you ask, why do you scratch Lao Tzu's itchy meat?
Yang Balang understood in seconds, smiled a little embarrassedly, and just wanted to move to his ass to point a few words, but suddenly, his face changed: "Wo Cao! I forgot to delete the boss in advance!"
There was a fluctuation of spiritual power from the Immortal News bracelet, and the phantom talisman exploded directly.
In a cloud of green energy, Yang Balang raised his head, leaned on Gao Xiaojian, and raised his hand in despair towards the strange-looking guards:
"Bosses, let's put aside this to practice acrobatics... Do you believe it?"
......
In the ancestral tomb, Sun Batian and Sun Kongkong were kneeling on the ground to worship their ancestors, and the long black stone in front of them was full of all kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Unlike the battle of the three animals when worshipping the ancestors of other ethnic groups, the Sun family only worships fresh fruits.
Behind the long table was a life-size statue with a golden hair, sitting cross-legged with his hands folded and an iron rod bent at his elbows identical to the Dinghaizi needle.
This is the ancient Heavenly Court era, the ancestor of the Sun family, who was arrogant and arrogant, known as the first in the world in terms of natural cultivation and combat power.
After the Great Tribulation of the Last Dharma came, the other saints worked together to open up the bridge of the thirty-three heavens and earth, and left early.
Only this one stayed until the end, only broke the sky, went to the other world alone, and fought the thirteen saints of the other world alone, and then disappeared.
There was a legend that the ancestor of the Sun family was actually not a human being, but a demon saint, and there were many records in some anecdotes, but there was no empirical evidence.
The descendants of the Sun family do have some visions, especially the descendants of Sun Kongkong, who are rich in blood, thin and dense, and indeed a little different from humans.
After the ceremony, Sun Batian waved his hand and took out the Dinghaizi needle from the ring.
This stick is really about nine feet long, the stick body is dark, and there are mottled rust marks on it, Sun Batian holds it up with both hands, and he sees that the stick body will tremble twice from time to time.
Since a visit to the bottom of the lake, this artifact clone has been like this, and even Sun Batian can't figure out what happened, so in desperation, he can only bring the ancestral tomb and worship the ancestors for knowledge.
As soon as the Dinghaizi needle came out, the iron rod in the elbow of the statue suddenly shone brightly.
The two iron rods seemed to sense each other, and with a soft 'buzz', they flew together, intertwined and flew in the air, sprinkling golden light.
Sun Batian looked up intently, his eyes eager.
In a moment, the golden light dissipated, and the iron rods returned to their respective places.
Sun Batian's face was solemn, he bowed to the statue again, and turned away with Sun Kongkong.
This one of the grandmothers is also a Dinghaizi needle, but next to the statue of the ancestor every day, she accepts the incense offerings of the Sun family, and her spirituality is more sufficient.
Before, it was the one who delivered the message.
In that hidden dragon abyss, there was the breath of an ancestral artifact...
Could it be that the immortal tribulation really represents the imminent birth of the artifact?
But who is the giant tortoise at the bottom of the lake and the figure on the giant tortoise?
