It turns out that in the western part of the Great Yan Country, tens of thousands of miles away from Jiatang Prefecture, there is a plateau called Tubert, where the terrain is extremely high, the land is barren, and the living conditions are relatively poor; even so, there is a human tribe on the plateau, they live on nomadism, and raise some animals suitable for survival in this area, for many years, they have adapted to the living conditions here, and this tribe has been breeding on this plateau.

But as the terrain rises further, the air there is even thinner, and ordinary people feel chest tightness and shortness of breath when they get there, and it is not a suitable place for human beings to live, even the local aborigines of Tubert cannot adapt to living there for a long time;

I don't know how many years ago, it seems that a group of human races suddenly appeared there, settled in a valley, just five or six years ago, in a very accidental situation, this valley was discovered by an ascetic monk of the Miaokong sect, this monk felt strange, so he wanted to enter the valley to find out, but the whole valley has a subtle prohibition, the monk with the cultivation of the Jingqi realm but could not enter, so he had to return in vain.

After returning to the sect, the senior monk informed the sect of the matter. The Miaokong Sect immediately sent the Liquid Qi Realm Spirit Master and the Spirit Disciple to investigate, and after arriving there, only the Spirit Disciples could enter, and the Spirit Masters could not enter, although it was located on the plateau, and the nearby environment was extremely poor, but in the valley was another world, just like the situation in the lowlands where the human race habitually lived, a Spirit Disciple of the Miaokong Sect stayed in the valley for a while, but felt that it was very suitable to live, and there was nothing else abnormal.

After the investigation was completed, the people of the Myokong faction asked the nearby Tuberts, but they did not know the origin of these people, but confirmed that there was absolutely no one living here before, and it was only a matter of the past five or six years.

Later, with the invasion of the Yakini people, the focus of the sect was also shifted from there, just let a small sect called the Mingu Sect near there, attached to the Miaokong Sect, arrange to supervise the situation of the disciples locked up there, and did not do further investigation.

Of course, at that time, Wu Xuanzong also sent disciples to investigate, according to the disciples who had entered the valley came back to report, the valley covered an extremely wide area, and there was no discomfort after entering, at that time, there were already dozens of people living in it, only occupying a small place in the valley, but these people were not nearby nomads, and they were not hospitable, not at all like the nearby bold nomads; they did not communicate with outsiders at all, and even seemed to be a little hostile to outsiders. The only good thing is that although these people seem to be hostile to outsiders, they only treat them with indifference and indifference, and let these outsiders leave on their own, but they don't do much to expel them, as if a family has moved to that area.

These Great Yan Nation sects have always been communicating with each other in terms of such strange events, and the situation of mutual communication between various sects is also roughly the same. The people in the sect saw that they didn't find anything abnormal, and with the invasion of the Yakini people, they slowly forgot about it, but they thought that it might be a certain family's escape from the world, and they didn't continue to pay attention to it.

But in the past two years, according to the report of the supervising disciples of the Mingu Sect stationed near the Lianyou Valley, strange celestial phenomena have occurred in that area from time to time, which has never happened before, and with the occurrence of strange celestial phenomena there, there seems to be some changes near the valley, and the environment near the valley has become even worse, with constant gale winds every day, flying sand and rocks, and almost no grass grows on the ground, just like hell on earth.

However, the disciple was not allowed to enter the valley, and did not know about the changes in the valley, so he had to report the matter to the Mingu sect, which was a small sect and could not handle the matter, so he quickly reported it to the Miaokong sect.

Although the Miaokong faction avoided the world in military affairs, it was still very concerned about the strange events that happened in the earthly world, so they informed the other major sects, explained the matter, and saw what the other sects thought about this matter.

The other sects also felt very strange about this matter, and many people remembered the legends that were handed down tens of thousands of years ago, although those legends did not have any specific records, but they were passed down from generation to generation in the sects, thinking that it was something that actually happened, and it was also chilling to think about it. Therefore, these sects also decided to pay attention to this matter, but they had no good way other than to send someone to investigate, so they had to agree to send someone there in the near future to see what was going on there.

Wu Xuanzong has just recently figured out the affairs within the sect and the affairs in the earthly world of the Great Yan Kingdom, which is a good form both internally and externally, and the affairs of the court in the earthly world are almost no longer in charge, so now there is also time and energy to take care of the strange events in this earthly world, so the investigation of the vision in the area of Lian Yougu has been put on the agenda again.

Although Deputy Hall Master Chen wanted to let Kong Rui take on this task at that time, Xiao Yuansheng kept in mind Shi Jian's words at that time, and was a little partial to Lingji Mountain, so he used Sima He's retreat as an excuse to delay for a while. And now that Sima He had been out of the customs, and Elder Wei was also very concerned about this matter, he decided to personally inquire and call Sima He and Kong Rui to come and see what their opinions were.

Sima He didn't know about the previous rumors and secrets, so after listening to Deputy Hall Master Chen's mission introduction, he was also a little curious, so he asked, "Senior Brother Chen, this matter is not very difficult, it should be possible for many disciples to complete it, why do you want Rui'er to go?"

Deputy Hall Master Chen said with some embarrassment: "Don't hide it from the junior disciple, at the moment, in terms of the understanding and completion of the task in the sect, Master Confucius's nephew is the most outstanding one among the disciples. In particular, there was no clear goal for this mission, and even Uncle Wei thought that only Master Kong's nephew could be qualified for this mission. ”

Elder Wei naturally knew that when Elder Feng gave Kong Rui such an inexplicable task, Kong Rui also completed it brilliantly and successfully retrieved those heavy treasures, and this time he had to send him out again.

Sima He saw that Deputy Hall Master Chen had moved out of Elder Wei, and Elder Wei was sitting next to him without speaking, and he also knew that this was also what Elder Wei meant, so he had to say, "I don't have any opinions here, I still need to ask Rui'er to hear what he means." Immediately, a message was sent to Kong Rui to come in.

Deputy Hall Master Chen told Kong Rui about the mission again, and was about to say something more, when he suddenly heard Elder Wei say, "Kong Rui, before I tell you the specific things, I will tell you a legendary story. ”

Everyone was a little strange, but they didn't dare to ask more, so Elder Wei continued: "It is rumored that many tens of thousands of years ago, our human race flourished on this Taidi continent, and at that time, the human race of the entire continent was very prosperous, whether it was in the earthly world or in the cultivation world, it was a thriving scene. Until I don't know how many tens of thousands of years ago, some strange things gradually appeared in some places on our continent where the human race was not suitable for survival, but no one paid special attention to these visions at that time, and let these things develop for dozens or hundreds of years, until one day, suddenly countless alien races appeared through the spatial passage where these visions were located, trying to occupy the homeland of our human race and make us and other human races their slaves. Of course, the Terrans rose up to resist, but those aliens were already prepared, and the people who came were all strong in mana, but fortunately, at that time, I and the other Terrans were not weak, relying on the advantages of geography, people, and people, they only barely resisted. That war was fought for thousands of years, and the vitality of our human race was greatly damaged, countless ordinary people were killed and injured, even the cultivation world was not spared, countless sects were wiped out, and countless cultivation powers were killed in battle, so that they barely sealed the passage of those alien races to our Taidi Continent and eliminated the enemies who came to attack. Although in the end, it was our Taidi Continent that won a miserable victory, but at that time, our human race was almost extinct, and because there were no successors in many sects, countless exercises were lost like this, and I don't know how many tens of thousands of years have passed, and this has returned to the current situation. ”

Xiao Yuansheng, Sima He, and Deputy Hall Master Chen also said that they heard this legend for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel very curious, Sima He asked, "Uncle Shi, this is a legend after all, how much credibility does it have?"

Elder Wei said: "In fact, there are many versions of this legend that have been circulated among the people, but this is only one version among our Wuxuan Sect. Therefore, the ancestors of the past generations have demanded that once such a vision appears, we must wait for the sect to investigate, but this is an indisputable fact. And this time, the incident in the Lian Yu Valley has attracted the attention of many people, and I have received a lot of reports here recently, saying that similar situations have occurred in other parts of my Taidi Continent, so we have to pay attention to it. ”

Sima He was a little anxious and said, "In that case, isn't this even a very dangerous place? Rui'er only has the cultivation of a spirit disciple, how can he face such a situation?"

Elder Wei smiled and said, "Master Sima and nephew don't have to worry, Kong Rui's mission is not necessarily related to this legend. I'm just reminding you that there was such a big event, and you shouldn't take it lightly. And that even the valley may be a secret realm where a certain powerful person intends to live in seclusion, not that it must be an alien spatial passage from other continents. ”

Sima He was still uneasy and said, "If it is related to that legend, what should Rui'er do?"

Elder Wei said: "If it is related to that legend, my Taidi Continent will face another catastrophe, and no one can avoid it, and if it is really related to that legend, the establishment of this space channel will also take countless time and resources to establish, and the space channel at the beginning can only send some ordinary people to come, so that the mana and various spars cost will be much less, and then these people will slowly establish a high-level space transmission channel, so that those alien races can reduce the huge cost." Therefore, even if it is the base of some alien space transmission channels, at present, it is only a very low-level manpower there, and there is no great danger if Kong Rui goes. ”

Sima He was still not at ease, and asked, "Uncle Shi, wouldn't it be the same trouble if they had a high-level figure coming?"

Elder Wei said: "This shouldn't be, in the absence of any base here, to tear the space, it will cost at least dozens of times more mana and various spars than a spirit disciple to send a spirit master over, and the celestial phenomena caused are enough to attract our attention, but so far, we have not received any reports about the occurrence of such celestial phenomena, so there will definitely be no high-level alien races coming." ”

Sima He thought about it, and this was indeed the truth, so he stopped talking, but Deputy Hall Master Chen asked, "Senior Uncle, if we have such doubts, why don't we just level the valley of Nalian, so that those troubles will be eliminated." ”

Elder Wei looked at him, but did not speak, Xiao Yuansheng said on the side: "Senior Brother's idea is a little biased, now no one knows what the specific situation of that Lian Secluded Valley is, in case it is a hermitage of a certain powerful person, wouldn't we be a little rude?" And over the years, this kind of thing has also happened from time to time, so let's investigate it first before we talk about it." ”

Deputy Hall Master Chen asked again, "Senior Uncle, how do you explain the abnormal celestial phenomena in that area?" Moreover, the prohibition there is also extremely subtle, even the elders of the Jingqi Realm cannot enter, which is a bit strange. ”

Elder Wei said: "The terrain there is already a bit strange, and there are not a few natural celestial wonders, and it is also possible that those great powers have refined some magic weapons, which will also cause abnormal celestial phenomena. As for the prohibition, presumably it was just that the elder of the Miaokong Sect didn't want to lose his manners and didn't break through, so there shouldn't be any special circumstances. ”

Sima He's heart moved, knowing that if it was really as Xiao Yuansheng said, it was the hermitage of a certain powerful man, then maybe the people who went there would have a good chance, but he turned his head and asked Kong Ruidao: "Rui'er, you also know the current situation, what do you think?"

Kong Rui knew that this matter was very important, and Elder Wei was also here, so he might not be able to help himself, so he took this task, so he said: "Master, since the sect values the disciple so much, and it is not very dangerous there, then the disciple will take this task and go for a trip!"

Elder Wei nodded and said, "This is very good, if you have any requests, just ask for them." After speaking, he gave a few more words to Deputy Hall Master Chen, and then turned into a light and left.
