Chapter 741: Western Barbarian Domain Temple
Western Barbarian Domain, Temple.
The temple is not a large hall, but a collective name for a complex of buildings made of white jade.
It's even bigger than the Spider City of the Poisonous Spider Tribe, and there are tens of millions of people living inside and outside the temple.
However, there is a rule in the temple, that is, those who cultivate below the Beast Soul Master are not allowed to approach the inner city, and can only live in the outer city and ten miles outside the city, and only those who have cultivated to the Beast Soul Master can enter the city.
Therefore, the distribution of the entire inner city and the outer city is very strange, the inner city is a circle of more than ten miles, surrounded by circular city walls, and there are white jade buildings inside, just like a sect of cultivating immortals.
Of course, in the very center of the inner city of the temple, there is naturally a huge spire whose height is not weaker than that of Kaiyang City in the Nanjue Kingdom, and this is the symbol of the Western Barbarian Domain Temple, the Holy Tower.
This holy pagoda is not just a building, it is the spiritual pillar of the entire Western Barbarian Domain, and it is also the power of the totem.
When the pilgrimage begins, the Holy Maiden communicates with the flame, which starts at the base of the Holy Tower, then spreads upwards and is lit at the top of the Holy Tower.
It is rumored that when the top of the Holy Tower is lit by the Holy Flame, the Holy Flame will continue to burn for decades, and during this time the Western Barbarian Domain will be in good weather.
It is said that the sacred flame symbolizes the power of luck in the entire barbarian domain, and burning the sacred flame on top of the holy tower is to bless the power of luck in the Southern Barbarian Domain and the Western Barbarian Domain, which is the origin of the pilgrimage ceremony.
The only difference in the Southern Barbarian Domain is that there is no holy tower in their temple, but a statue with a torch in the hand of the statue.
If it is the turn of the Southern Barbarian Domain to hold a pilgrimage ceremony, the Holy Maiden will take out the sacred flame from the Western Barbarian Domain and place it on the torch in the hands of the giant statue of the Southern Barbarian Domain.
Once this torch is lit, both the Western and Southern Barbarians will be protected.
However, there are some differences, if a pilgrimage ceremony is held in the Western Barbarian Domain, then the Heavenly Blessings received by the Western Barbarian Domain will be higher than that of the Southern Barbarian Domain, and vice versa, the Southern Barbarian Domain is higher than the Western Barbarian Domain.
What is the effect of this heavenly blessing, this is a bit mysterious.
Even Li Muning, who was a saint, didn't know, but said that if the Holy Flame was lit in the Western Barbarian Domain, then the number of young descendants with the Beast Soul Master qualification in the Western Barbarian Domain would be about doubled.
"It's so mysterious, no wonder the Barbarian Domain attaches so much importance to the Holy Fire, our mission seems to be no different from sending you to death!" Lei Luo said lightly to Youwu.
He saw that this Youtian Cry really wanted Youwu to die, maybe it was to kill people with a knife, and he didn't expect Youwu to succeed in stealing.
After listening to Li Muning's explanation, the two of them were even more afraid of stealing the holy fire, if it happened, the entire Western Barbarian Domain would hunt them down.
Lei Luo looked at the temple not far ahead, his heart was full of excitement and curiosity, and then walked slowly forward with Youwu and Li Muning reluctantly.
Inside the temple, inside a certain large hall.
A middle-aged monk in a Confucian robe is standing with his hands in his hands, while behind him is a group of people in standard white robes
"Tell me to go down, the Holy Maiden doesn't have to look for it, now you can call back all the people who were sent out;"
"Li Gao, take a team of people out to welcome the holy woman, the other party is more than a hundred miles east of the temple, you can go" The man in the Confucian robe casually pointed to the person behind him, and then admonished.
"Subordinates understand!" the person who was pointed out hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.
Subsequently, the group of people behind him were all ordered to retreat, and only the elegant man was left in the entire hall.
"How could it be, who killed the three of them, but let them go, or did the girl really run away on her own?" he muttered, touching his chin.
But having said that, it was good that the holy woman could come back, and the elegant man didn't think much about it,
After all, the other party has returned, and the biggest problem of this pilgrimage ceremony has been solved, as for the death of the three masters, although it is also a big event, it is not as important as the ceremony.
"However, I still have to stabilize the two of them, especially the one, so that the other party can't notice that something is wrong with the holy woman," the elegant man then narrowed his eyes.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked towards a certain building inside the temple.
All those who passed by were dressed in white robes and bowed when they saw him, without exception, and they would address him as Grand Master Li.
When this person walked into a gorgeous palace, he saw that there were only two people in the entire hall, one was an old man, and the other was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe.
The old man's face was full of wrinkles, his body was thin, he was dressed in ordinary barbarian black clothes, under the black hood was a pale hair, his outstretched hands were full of cracks and folds, and his nails were slightly green.
The middle-aged man was wearing a satin brocade robe, with a Buddha's head and a blue fairy pattern horn belt tied around his waist, and a jade belt wrapped around his forehead.
"Master Witch Horse, Mr. Pei, I have made you wait for a long time, and I hope to forgive your sins," the elegant man said after entering the main hall, and at the same time bowed his hand.
The old man did not return the salute, but the man in the brocade robe hurriedly smiled and said that he was out of the way, and at the same time brushed a pinch of mustache on his chin with his hand, and held a folding fan engraved with a book in his other hand.
"Although Rong Huzun can't be present at the pilgrimage hall this time, the wizard master is relieved to be in Fang Li, and there is also Mr. Pei from overseas to help, which can ensure the prosperity of my Western Barbarian Domain for a hundred years!" said the elegant man with a smile.
Although it was a polite remark, the other two also returned the salute.
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them sat down in turn.
There are only three futons in the main hall, and the elegant middle-aged man is at the head, and the old man and the man in the brocade robe are sitting quietly on the sides.
"Master Li, I heard a few days ago that the Holy Maiden had gone wrong on the way here, but is there such a thing?" the old man suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the elegant middle-aged man known as Master Li did not have the slightest surprise, while the man in the brocade robe showed a look of surprise, but it was fleeting.
"The wizard is wrong, the saint is also a human being, and every trip can't be without any accidents, but don't worry, there will be no mistakes this time, and the saint has returned to the temple," the elegant man replied with a smile.
Hearing this, the brocade-robed man frowned slightly, obviously unable to understand something.
"Mr. Pei, what is wrong with you?" asked the elegant man with a pretended concern look.
In fact, it is redundant to ask this, the three of them are all monks in the late Yuan Infant period, and it is naturally impossible for such a thing to be unwell under this kind of cultivation.
"Oh, I'm just curious, this holy woman is the symbol of your barbarian domain, how can there be a fork in the action in the barbarian domain, isn't the entire barbarian domain loyal to your temple?" the brocade-robed man pretended to be surprised slightly, and then asked.
As he spoke, he really looked at the elegant man with an inquiring look, revealing a slightly curious look, but it made people unable to see anything.
"Haha, what's this, although we have the same heart in the barbarian domain, we can't guarantee that some outsiders have problems!" The elegant man also did not have the slightest flaw, but his tone was pointed.
Hearing this, the old man snorted coldly first, which may mean that he blames the elegant man for speaking without looking at the occasion, and the person in front of him is not an outsider from the non-barbarian domain.
"Oh, it's abrupt, I didn't take into account that Mr. Pei is also there, the outsiders I'm talking about are not your overseas monks but those people from Nanjue, I hope Mr. doesn't mind;"
"The nine major sects of the Nanjue Kingdom have always regarded our barbarian domain as a thorn in their side, especially the Heavenly Cry of the Demon Flame Sect, which has coveted the holy flame of our temple for more than a day or two!"
The elegant man seemed to realize that his words were wrong, and quickly showed a hint of apology, and then explained.
"I also have the impression of the Youtian Cry guy you said, I fought with Youfengyu of the Demon Flame Sect back then, and at that time, I felt that the Youtian family was all bad, but unfortunately Youfengyu is dead, and there is no way to take revenge in this life!" the old man suddenly sighed.
Listening to his tone, it seemed that he had a great grudge with the people of the Demon Flame Sect's Youjia.
"As soon as the wizard master said this, I also remembered one thing, recently our Western Barbarian Domain broke into two elders of the Demon Flame Sect, a man and a woman, who were ruthless and unscrupulous;"
"As far as I know, there are four masters who died at their hands, including the Heavenly Master of the Eagle Tribe, and the entire tribe of the Blue Wolf Department was slaughtered by them;"
"It is said that these two also went to the poisonous spider department, and were found by the two masters of Yinhua and Bisanghuan, but after a fight, the two masters were defeated by each other, and even destroyed their bodies, and only Yuanying escaped!"
The elegant man then counted the crimes, telling all the things that Lei Luo and Yu Wan had done.
As for Yinhua and Bi Sanghuan's confessions, the two naturally didn't dare to say that they were spared by the other party's subordinates, so they could only exaggerate Lei Luo's murderous reputation, and then released the news.
"This is true, then if you say this, although the realm of these two people is only in the early stage of the Yuan Infant cultivation, but in terms of real strength, it may be close to the middle stage, it seems that the strength of the two people of the Demon Flame Sect is not weak in the same rank!" said the brocade-robed man unexpectedly.
Although his cultivation had reached the late Yuan Infant stage, he was not so ferocious at the beginning of the year, and he actually killed so many people in the hands of the same level.
"But having said that, the other party is a Yuanying early stage cultivator after all, and we have dealt with the people of the Demon Flame Sect a lot, as long as we can restrain their flame supernatural powers, the others will not be afraid!" the old man said disdainfully.
Although the elegant man didn't say much, he didn't pay much attention to the two people from the Demon Flame Sect, after all, the other party was just an early stage cultivator, so he didn't have to be afraid.
And when he said this in front of outsiders today, he actually knew that this Mr. Bei had already known about these things, and when the other party came to the Barbarian Domain, he must have arranged some eyeliner in the entire Barbarian Domain.
"By the way, Mr. Bei, how many people have come to your Xuanxin Continent this time, you can't just bring one Taoist friend, in case your companion comes on the day of the pilgrimage ceremony, and one of us accidentally recognizes the wrong person, it won't be good!" the elegant man suddenly asked.
After he asked this, he looked at the other party, because this time the other party only brought a Yuanying mid-level monk named Fu Qingsheng, which was a bit too much to say.
"Oh, I see, I did bring a few more people with me this time, but they didn't say that they wanted to see the scenery of the barbarian domain, and I couldn't resist it for a while, so I let them move freely;"
"Since Brother Li read it like this, then I will say a word to Qingsheng and ask him to call a few people back, just so that you can take a look at the pilgrimage ceremony of your barbarian domain, which can be regarded as increasing your knowledge," the man in the brocade robe pushed the boat down the river.
Then the three of them began to chatter about other things, and after a while, the brocade-robed man took his leave and left the hall, and the elegant man smiled at him.
However, when the other party walked away, his smile was closed, and then he showed a cold look, and returned to the main hall.
"Nan Jue Guo is not only those two people this time, the news that Master Gu Zong and they passed back should be eight people!" said the elegant man with a gloomy face at this time.
Hearing this, the old man's face changed slightly, and he was a little surprised, why the man and the woman acted in such a high-profile manner, while the other six people were lost in the sea without any news.
"This is not the most important thing, compared to the monks of Nanjue, I am more worried about this Mr. Pei, as well as their group of overseas monks, we know the roots of Nanjue, and we are not familiar with them!" the elegant man continued.
After saying this, the two began to communicate in a low voice in this hall.
