Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 142 The Boundary Guards the Tomb
Unexpectedly, this night cultivation was not just Tiansong's own arrangement, and when Xiang Bei rushed to the square in front of the Heavenly King Hall by moonlight, several other realm guard elders were also waiting.
Several newly acquired Heavenly Seal Realm gatekeepers also guarded their own masters, with solemn expressions.
Seeing Xiang Bei appear, the little monk Shikong poked his head out from behind Tianen, "Brother Xiang Bei, you are finally here, and I am still worried that you will also leave." ”
With the permission of Heavenly Grace, Shikong personally escorted Shangguan Ce down the mountain, looking at the lost and lonely back of Shangguan when he left, the little bald head also felt uncomfortable for a while.
Tianen's eyes stopped Shikong and continued to talk to Xiang Bei. Xiang Bei also knew it in his heart, and did not say anything, but gave Tian Song a respectful and deep bow in public, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”
Xiang Bei, who had always left a rebellious and uninhibited impression on everyone, suddenly showed such respect for Tiansong, except for Tianmo and Yuelai, everyone else showed surprise.
Tianen couldn't help but joke on the side, "I didn't expect that this guy of yours would also have this enlightened day?"
Tian Song coughed dryly, "Since you younger generations have joined the Heavenly Seal Realm, you must each abide by your duties as master and apprentice in the future, and all the elders are your masters, and they also have the responsibility of disciplining and passing on skills. Xiang Bei, since you call me Master, I am your first teacher, and I will be responsible for the first responsibility of supervising your growth and loss in the future. Of course, if you can't reach it, you can also report the name of the first seat of the Heavenly Seal. ”
This last sentence obviously has the meaning of supporting Xiang Bei behind his back. Tian En on the side suddenly felt embarrassed. Indeed, when he deliberately ridiculed Xiang Bei just now, the second master of Tianyin was already secretly thinking about how to teach this master and nephew a lesson, so that he could realize the sin of disobedience against him at the beginning.
Tiansong then coughed violently, and his swollen face suddenly turned red. Because of the affection of the same family, Tianen couldn't help but ask with concern, "With Senior Brother's cultivation, how can I be unwell, why don't I give Senior Brother a pulse." ”
Tiansong waved his hand to stop, "I'm fine, it's important to get down to business." ”
However, it was obvious that Tiansong insisted on some hardship, so he had to signal for the next ceremony and hand it over to Tian'en to preside.
Heavenly Grace took the order, stepped forward, and told the young newcomers that tonight was the moment when they officially entered the Heavenly Seal Realm Guard, and they would be exposed to a whole new world and begin to enter the cultivation of the Realm Guardian role.
Except for Xiang Bei, when the others accepted the realm spirit wood at that time, Tiansong had already roughly explained to them the meaning of the responsibility of the realm guard, which was both a responsibility and a kind of glory, and it could also be said to be a shortcut to practice and even ascend to immortals. In the expectant eyes of everyone, Tianen led the team and led everyone to see the real existence of Tianyin that was unknown to outsiders.
The Heavenly Seal Realm Guard used to be a force that shook the world. Tian'en introduced while leading everyone into the Heavenly King Palace. Xiang Bei recalled that this was the ancestor of the Heavenly Seal Realm that Tiansong said, and when he looked at the fierce statue in the middle of the main hall, he actually saw a trace of compassion and compassion from his distorted facial features.
The elders led their respective apprentices to earnestly worship the statue of the ancestor who crossed the boundary in turn, and Tian'en explained, "This hall is the most important offering in my Heavenly Seal Realm, if it is not necessary, you cannot trespass on weekdays." ”
Everyone listened carefully, and their faces all showed solemnity.
After the explanation, Tianen led everyone around the statue again, and everyone found that behind the statue, there was an imperceptible secret door.
Through the secret door out, there is a narrow stone staircase in front of you, the steps are paved by bluestone, the stone is narrow, only allowing one foot to fall, and the steps are steep, almost five or six steps of the stone platform, the height is already almost to the face of the person. Although there was no magic forbidden technique here, the danger of the stone steps alone had already made it very difficult for these young realm guards to climb.
The stone platform of more than 30 steps led everyone up a mountain, and the young people began to puff, but it was the old elders who walked calmly and calmly. It seems that the path of spirituality is not only the study of thaumaturgy, but also the sublimation of the physical body.
The peak of the hill is cut out of a platform, and the path paved with blue bricks in the middle leads everyone to a stone house covered by the cypress, the stone house is not tall, and the curved roof faintly emerges among the cypresses, if it is not the wrong size, it looks like a barren mound and lonely tomb hidden among the cypresses.
"Here, it is the worship ...... of our past generations" Tian'en's tone became heavy, and after a few words, some of them couldn't help themselves, and several other elders also stood in front of the stone house door in a line, bowing their hands and saluting, although the younger generation was confused in their hearts, but Tian'en was speechless, and everyone could only follow behind their respective masters in the same way, standing with their hands down.
Xiang Bei has been walking in the rivers and lakes for several years, and he has a wide range of knowledge, looking at the shape of the stone house, he has some eyebrows in his heart, especially on both sides of the stone house, there is a stone beast with a strange shape, Xiang Bei recognized it, it was two tomb beasts.
After a period of suppressed silence, Tian Song and Tian En silently walked to both sides of the stone house and stood still in front of the two tomb beasts.
Shikong couldn't help but be curious at this time, and secretly asked Xiang Bei beside him,
"Brother Xiang Bei, what do you guess this stone house is for? What is this stone carving, why do you have two heads, why haven't I seen it?"
Xiang Bei lowered his voice, "Shikong, don't talk nonsense, be careful that your master will punish you again if he hears it." That's not two heads, it's two-sided. You know that life in the world is nothing more than joy and sorrow. As for this stone house, I guess ......."
Xiang Bei thought for a while and asked Shikong rhetorically, "Since you have become a monk in Charan Temple, have you ever been to Tallinn behind the temple?"
Shikong couldn't help but exclaim, "Tallinn?"
Charan Monastery is located in Fanjing Mountain, Middle Earth, with a long history and many believers. The pure place of the mountain behind the monastery is the forbidden place of Charan Temple, ten miles of Tallinn, under each green pagoda of Dai color, there is a monk who has attained the Tao.
Shikong remembered that he had been severely punished by the abbot for sneaking into Tallinn to play, and what a prominent figure should be buried in the stone house in front of him.
Tianmo waved his hand at Shikong and Xiang Bei, signaling them to stop talking. At this time, Tian Song and Tian En each stretched out their arms towards the stone beast in front of them, and before they could see what mechanism they had pulled on the stone beast, they only heard two clicks, and then the originally airtight wall on the front of the stone house rumbled to both sides, and a gap was split in the middle that only allowed one person to pass through.
Everyone under the leadership of Tiansong rushed in, the dimness in the stone house suddenly made people dizzy, and after the eyes gradually adapted to the dimness in the stone house, everyone saw clearly, the original impermeable stone house, not pitch black, in the middle of the stone house, there is a lifelike mermaid statue, this statue is two people high, the head and tail of the fish, a body of fine black scales, like Ugin seems to be indestructible, the mermaid has gills behind the ears, the mouth is slightly open, and it seems that it is still secretly breathing.
The mermaid's palms each had six fingers, and because the palms of the hands were spread out to the sky, you could see that the fingers were connected by webbing, and the light in the stone house came from the flames the size of several beans on the tips of the mermaid's fingertips.
Shikong looked at Xiang Bei with puzzled eyes, because inside the stone house, except for the mermaid statue on the stone platform, it was empty, and there was no imaginary coffin, not even a spirit card.
Xiang Bei was also a little confused, could it be that his judgment was wrong?
Tian'en then explained to everyone, and at this time, his voice began to become suppressed, but even so, the echo from the surrounding stone walls still made his voice imprinted on everyone's hearts.
"This thousand-year-old ghost shark, after becoming a sperm, caused trouble in the South China Sea, and even installed his ghost cave in the fire coral, the South China Sea Boundary Guards were defeated in a battle, and finally invited our ancestors to help, and finally subdued it. ”
The dim light made it impossible for Tianen to see the expressions of the crowd, but he could hear a burst of astonishment from the mouths of the crowd. Speaking of Master, Tianen's heart was full of pride, and he couldn't help but get a little carried away and said,
"Do you know that in the four worlds, only we are white-headed. From your ancestors to our Tiansong Senior Brother, they are all leaders in the cultivation of the world, since you are now under the Baishou Heavenly Seal Realm, remember this responsibility of protecting the world, and shoulder it on our shoulders. ”
Although Tiansong is also very arrogant, maybe it is so, looking at Tianen's arrogance in front of these juniors, he doesn't like to be upset, but he still saves some face for Tianen, just interrupted Tianen and said,
"Here, for the worship of my Heavenly Seal Realm for generations, you should be in awe. As he spoke, he came with his hand, and his outstretched palm suddenly emitted a soft light.
Xiang Bei followed behind Tiansong, and was so shaken by this sudden light that he couldn't open his eyes for a while, everyone was amazed by Tian'en's narration before, and now they were inspired by Tiansong's holy light, and their hearts inexplicably ignited a tragic feeling, because at this time, everyone understood that the original stone room was covered by smooth stone tablets all around the dome, and on the dark stone wall, countless names were secretly engraved numbly.
Xiang Bei couldn't help but lean closer and carefully check the names that represented lives one by one. He recalled that when he was a killer, those corpses that fell under his sword one by one, they used to be powerful figures, but under the sword, they only left such a name.
Even, some corpses have not even left a name.
Tang Qianshou, who had been following everyone and had almost no sense of existence, suddenly couldn't help but be curious, and stepped forward to look at the ghost shark on the stone platform in the center of the stone house.
Yuelai on the side asked him, "What? Are you interested in this ghost shark?"
Tang Qian's eyes always stayed on the ghost shark, if he hadn't been stared at closely enough by the master Tianci beside him, he would have wanted to go to the ghost shark to peel off a piece of scales to take a look.
When Yuelai asked him, Tang Qianshou didn't even twist his head, but just subconsciously muttered, "Legend has it that the prince of our Bashu land once had this ghost shark oil lamp in the tomb, known as a thousand years of immortality, I always thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect that there really is such an existence in this world......"
He leaned forward again, and secretly sniffed it, this ghost shark flame really didn't even have a little bit of human fireworks.
Tiansong said to the people in the stone house,
"This house is the grave of our white head boundary tree, in order to fulfill the responsibility of guarding the world, whether it is born to ascend to the immortal, or to guard the boundary and die, there is no need to care about the skin of our life, let alone write a book. Originally, we also had a Danqing inheritance, but we didn't want to, so we caused a disaster of book burning in the world. ”
Tiansong turned around and explained to Xiang Bei again, "Apprentice, before the opportunity came, I had no way to personally hand over the Realm Spirit Wood to you, but at this time, I hope you can understand the painstaking work of being a teacher." ”
Xiang Bei nodded yes, silently reciting Tiansong's kindness in his heart.
Inside the stone house, everyone has another layer of understanding of the identity of the boundary guard. But Xiang Bei was curious, he had already seen the names engraved on the stone wall one by one, but he didn't find the name of his ancestor. Whether it is his arrogant master Tiansong or the self-righteous Tianen, when it comes to this mysterious master, it is difficult to hide the arrogant expression, but whenever Xiang Bei wants to inquire about this master, they are secretive. Uncle Tianmo said that the ancestor never returned after entering the Ark of the Winding Path, could it be that because of this, he was not qualified to enter this realm to guard the tomb?
