The Patriarch Hall covers an extremely wide area, and if you look at it carefully, the area is not much better than the martial arts arena in the lower courtyard of the Dishui Temple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The beams of the house are made of extremely large square logs in the depths of the Hengduan Mountains, almost as wide as a small house, more than 100 zhang long, and it is not known how they were transported from the mountains back then.

The ground was paved with thick green bricks, and a layer of gold was gilded on them, but now this gold had dimmed to almost gray black, and there was no longer the golden splendor of the past.

Although the disciples of Yinfeng have carefully maintained the Ancestral Master Hall in the past generations, there are always some things that cannot be done, such as rejecting the erosion of time.

Stepping into the ancestral hall, I suddenly felt empty.

Looking up, Gu Xiaozhao suddenly felt solemn, thinking of the picture of thousands of disciples gathering in the ancestral hall to salute the ancestor statue when the hidden peak was in its heyday, even if his heart was like ice and snow, at this time, there was also a faint feeling of blood boiling.

Gu Feiyang on the side was already unlucky.

Along the way, he opened his mouth and took a few cool breaths from time to time, his face was full of surprise, and he couldn't manage the expression on his face at all.

On the other side, Nie Chaoyun was quite complacent.

The expression on Gu Feiyang's face made him feel satisfied, since he brought these two into the door, nothing good had happened to Yin Feng, and he had a feeling of being embarrassed in front of the guests. Today, this situation is like the psychological satisfaction of a layman who tells the story of his ancestors' generosity and sees the surprised expressions of other laymen.

I think that at the beginning, I also had such an expression when I first entered the Patriarch Hall.

It is said that this ancestral hall is not much different from the ancestral hall of the dripping water view.

It's just that he can't understand Gu Xiaozhao, who is obviously the same age as himself, and should have the passion and enthusiasm of a teenager, but he looks like an old man, which is very boring.

Nie Chaoyun shook his head secretly.

After walking for a long time, the group came to the depths of the ancestral hall.

A huge portrait was hanging on the wall, Mu Xiaosang, Su Mei, and Hu Ying's children were already standing in front of the portrait, and at this moment, she was looking up at the portrait with a solemn expression.

It was a portrait of a middle-aged man in Taoist costumes.

Dressed in a cyan robe, he has three strands of long hair, long eyebrows and fine eyes, and a long sword flying in the auspicious clouds with his feet, his hands are wrapped, and a whisk of dust is held in front of his chest, and behind his head, there is a bronze ancient mirror suspended on it, which faintly exudes a golden luster.

This person is the first generation of Yinfeng Zhangfeng people, Zhang Baicong.

At the beginning, in order to escape the disaster of annihilation, the Dripping Water View asked Zhang Baicong, the disciple in charge of the sect at that time, to hide with the secret book, which is the origin of the hidden peak. Later, the Dripping View escaped the disaster of annihilation, and Zhang Baicong became the head of the Hidden Peak, and then later, he became a monk and served as the seventh generation of the Dripping View Teacher.

More importantly, Zhang Baicong, a dusty man, finally broke the void and flew to the upper realm.

He is also the only one who is remembered by later generations, rather than the head of the first generation of dripping real people.

In the historical records of the Dripping Water View for more than 1,000 years, in addition to the founding patriarch Dripping Water Zhenren, Zhang Baicong also flew to the upper realm.

You know, breaking the void is not an easy task.

Even if you cultivate to the extreme of martial arts and become a martial saint, there are very few people who can take the last step to break the void and ascend to the upper realm.

At least, in the past 100 years, there has been no such legend in the three southwestern kingdoms.

When Zhang Baicong flew to the upper realm, the ancestral hall of Yinfeng was established, you must know that in the entire dripping water concept, in addition to the ancestor hall built in this view to worship the real person of dripping water, only Yinfeng has the ancestral hall, and the three mountains such as Tianzhu Peak, Lotus Peak, and Qingyun Peak are not.

There is an unwritten rule in the world, anyone who can be worshiped by people must be real people who have ascended to the upper realm in the past generations, otherwise it is a transgression and should be severely punished.

The portrait has been preserved for hundreds of years, and it is still spotless, and the people in the painting are lifelike, as if they could come to life at any time.

The painting was painted by a talisman.

Although it is a portrait, it is actually a symbolic object.

It is said that if you can master the trick, this portrait even has the effect of fighting the enemy, but unfortunately, since the battle of Wanguqiao and the disappearance of Xue Muchen, the person in charge of the peak, the secret of how to use it has been broken.

Nie Chaoyun led Gu Xiaozhao and the two to the statue of the patriarch, let the two stand in front of the portrait, and quietly retreated to the side, standing solemnly.

Previously, Nie Chaoyun had already told the two about the worship process.

Gu Xiaozhao and Gu Feiyang also burned incense according to the process, and the whole procedure was not cumbersome, and it didn't take much time to complete.

There is no vision of the ancestor apparition, the beginning and the end are the same, Yichenzi Zhang Baicong always squinted his eyes and looked down expressionlessly.

After that, Mu Xiaosang and the others led them to the back of the Patriarch Hall.

There, there is a hut.

In the center of the room was a huge jade plate, on which many runes were carved, twisted and twisted, like countless small tadpoles.

Gu Feiyang only glanced at it, and immediately felt dizzy, and hurriedly looked away.

Gu Xiaozhao didn't feel like this, but when he looked at the jade plate, he also felt that his divine thoughts were faintly suppressed.

This jade plate has a resounding nickname, the Heavenly Mandate Plate.

It has only one function, that is, to test the qualifications and attributes of people's root bones, and only by accurately mastering the attributes of the warriors' roots and bones can they be taught according to their aptitude.

When they first enter the martial arts threshold, the apprentices are required to undergo a root bone test.

However, that time the root bone test was relatively sparse and not necessarily accurate, after all, the people who were tested had never really cultivated, so after stepping into the Qi Refining Realm, they had to be tested again.

This is where the Destiny Chart comes into play.

The reason why it is called the Heavenly Destiny Disk is because it can accurately measure a person's root bones and qualifications.

These root bone attributes are innate, and if the root bone attributes are not good, they will definitely not go far on the road of martial arts.

For most people whose root bone attributes are not good, the first stage of the Qi Refining Realm is also their end.

Such a thing as the Heavenly Mandate Plate can only be possessed by a major sect like the Dripping Water Concept, as well as a thousand-year-old family gate valve, and even the Junwang Gu clan in Banan County does not have it, in order to test the qualifications of the disciples in the clan, it is often necessary to use a more powerful gate valve with good friendships.

The method of making the Destiny Plate is the supreme secret of each major sect and gate valve.

Even if this production method is leaked, it is impossible to make it, and most of the materials needed are extremely rare and difficult to find, and it will also require a talisman to make it.

Gu Feiyang glanced at Gu Xiaozhao, Gu Xiaozhao nodded, and then, he took a step forward and bowed to Mu Xiaosang on the side.

"Senior sister, I'll come too......"

Mu Xiaosang nodded, the ponytail on the back of his head trembling slightly.

On the side, Su Mei stepped forward and held an open long box, in which was placed a jade knife that was also engraved with many runes.

Mu Xiaosang held the jade knife in his hand and swiped lightly on Gu Feiyang's wrist.

The crimson blood suddenly splattered up and fell into the Heavenly Destiny Disk.

Suddenly, the Heavenly Destiny Disk spun like a grinding disk, and a trace of red thread spread rapidly along the rune line like a long snake in the disk.

The Destiny Disk turned faster and faster, and finally, in my sight, I only saw a spider's web-like red line.

Half a pillar of incense, the Heavenly Destiny Disk stopped rotating.

On the west side of the Heavenly Mandate Disk, that is, the direction of Gengjin, the runes flashed with red light, flashing and extinguishing like breathing, and the rest of the directions also flashed with red light, but neither the area nor the brightness could be compared with the direction of Gengjin.

After a few breaths, the flicker of red light disappeared.

"Not bad!"

Mu Xiaosang's originally serious face smiled.

"The five elements are golden, and the metallicness is overwhelming, it is a good material for sword practice, and our hidden peak is the best inheritance of the dripping water view of the kendo......"

Gu Feiyang grinned, smiling almost from ear to ear.

At this time, Gu Xiaozhao stepped forward.

Now, it's time for him to be tested by the Destiny Disk.
