Chapter 53: Thirty Years Later
Although Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao have never been to Zhishan before, they have seen Zhishan towering into the clouds in the mountain range, which is the largest mountain in the entire mountain range, but now looking here, it is clearly a plain in a group of low mountains, where there is still the shadow of Zhishan, which is completely different from the Zhishan he saw.
Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao both have a conjecture, could it be that they are insane, since they were injured by the crimson giant sword, the world has changed since they woke up, and everything has changed.
Zhishan is gone, what should I do now, where are I going next, now there is nothing except two people and two swords, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but fall on the stone plaque, letting the sun shine on his face, feeling that his heart suddenly became empty, and his brain was blank.
Zhang Xiao didn't think about it as much as Zhang Xiao, it turned out that this was Zhishan, looking around, there were destroyed buildings everywhere, although they were overgrown with weeds, and the decorations on them were all changed, but it could still be seen that these buildings were very luxurious at that time.
The brick shape of these buildings is uniform and flat, although they have been damaged, but from the complete part of the top there is no missing hole, which can be regarded as the bricks used in the palace, and the tiles are directly carved from granite, you can imagine how majestic Zhishan was at that time.
When Zhang Xiao was still turning over and over for the future, Zhang Xiao was excitedly looking at the ruins of these buildings and found a lot of luxury goods, if these were complete, how much would they be worth.
I searched for it but found a building, a complete building, so I immediately shouted to Zhang Xiao: "Cousin, cousin, come and see, there is a house there." ”
Zhang Xiao was both disturbed and hot at this time, and was constantly rolling on the stone plaque, when he suddenly heard Zhang Xiao's shout, and immediately rushed over, and saw that there was a cliff not far away, and on the other side of the cliff was a roof, a huge roof, not damaged, maybe someone was there, and the two immediately ran over there.
When I came to the edge of the cliff, I saw that this was a house, it was simply a palace, it was square, with a nine-ridged roof, a total of five floors, the materials of the building were more luxurious than those ruins, the walls and tiles were carved from granite, and each brick and tile was carved with a pattern, but it was too far away to see clearly, and the whole palace looked old, as if it had not been sorted out for a long time.
Looking at such a big palace, there must be people living in it, so Zhang Xiao exuded aura to go in to investigate, and as soon as he emitted aura, he found that there was already aura distributed around him, and it had been detected by others, it seems that there are really people here.
"Cousin, there's someone here, let's go down and ask what's going on. Zhang Xiao immediately said to Zhang Xiao, and then looked at the bottom of the cliff and wanted to climb again, which made Zhang Xiao a little unhappy.
Finally, the two of them crept down the cliff and came to this palace, which was really huge, but there were many stains and cracks on the walls and tiles, which seemed to have not been repaired for many years, and some of the things on the windows had also fallen, leaving only small traces on it.
After going around the house for half a circle, they made a detour to the front, and the first thing that caught their eyes was ten huge stone pillars, supporting the front of the palace, Zhang Xiao hugged it, and even half of it could not be reached, and the two of them couldn't help but be stunned, they had never seen such a big pillar.
In front of the palace were statues of two huge dragons, one story high, which looked not majestic, but soft.
There is a door plaque on the door of the hall, which reads "Chengzhi Palace", it is estimated that this door plaque is the cleanest part of this palace, as if it is brand new, it seems that someone is often wiping it.
Just when Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao looked at the palace gate curiously, a person came out of it and immediately attracted their attention, this person was still young, with a mustache, high-spirited, and had a chivalrous feeling, wearing a purple immortal cultivator's robe like Qianjuzi and Mo Yangzi, standing at the door and watching them vigilantly.
"In Xia Zhishan Jiang Qizi, I don't know what the two colleagues came to Zhishan to say? Zhishan is now in decline, but there is nothing worth finding, if there is any question, Jiang Qizi will try his best to answer. Jiang Qizi looked at Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao and said, thinking about his words, he smiled a little bitterly, is there still Zhishan now?
Originally, Jiang Qizi was still meditating in the Chengzhi Hall as always, but he found that there were two immortal cultivators getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but wonder, no one had come to Zhishan for many years, how could anyone visit at this moment, maybe with bad intentions, until the two of them walked to the door, Jiang Qizi came out to meet these two.
When Jiang Qizi walked to the door, he was also surprised when he looked at Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao, one of them was dressed like a savage, and the other was dressed like a beggar, which was a little inconsistent with their appearance, and they didn't understand what the situation was.
"Under the great virtuous master and apprentice Zhang Xiao (Zhang Xiao). Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao saw Jiang Qizi and asked, and said at the same time.
After listening to the words of the two, Jiang Qizi cared more about Zhang Yao, this woman spoke more imposingly than a man, and she didn't feel as gentle and elegant as she imagined.
Without waiting for Jiang Qizi to speak, Zhang Xiao immediately stepped forward and said anxiously: "Senior Jiang Qizi, we learned that a large number of Zixu ghosts gathered in Zhishan, so we followed the master to support Zhishan, and encountered Zixu ghosts halfway, and was injured, and when we woke up, it became like this here, what happened?"
Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Jiang Qizi was also stunned, not understanding what this strange man was talking about, so he waved his hand to Zhang Xiao to calm him down, and then said: "Don't worry, don't worry, you speak slowly." ”
Zhang Xiao also felt that he was too impatient, so he breathed a deep sigh of relief, and slowly told Jiang Qizi about Zhang Jiao's and his party's investigation of the murder until they came to Zhishan, and they all told Jiang Qizi about meeting Mo Yangzi and the people of the Kyauklei Sect, Jiang Qizi finally understood, and he was relieved to Zhang Xiao and Zhang Jiao.
However, Jiang Qizi was still very surprised by Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao's matter, and said: "Did anything else happen during this period, it has been thirty years since the Ion Void Ghost attacked Zhishan. ”
As soon as Jiang Qizi finished speaking, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao were directly petrified and stood in place like wood, thirty years? Thirty years! What the hell is going on?
Jiang Qizi guessed that Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao must have encountered something strange, so he didn't explain more, and said, "You guys come in with me first." Then he walked towards the hall of knowledge.
Zhang Xiao and Zhang Jiao followed Jiang Qizi to the palace, there were many questions to ask, but they didn't know where to start, entering the palace gate, they went to a hall, which seemed to occupy the entire first floor, there were four huge portraits on both sides of the wall, and four men held four different swords, posing in a mighty pose.
In the center of the hall are two huge statues of men and women carved in marble, Zhang Xiao asked curiously, "Who are these two people?"
Jiang Qizi stopped and said, "These two are the founding ancestors of the Zhishan faction, the Venerable Master and the Jingxia master, and the four murals next to them are the four founding elders. ”
Turning around, Jiang Qizi saw that Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao were very interested, and couldn't help but talk about Zhishan's founding experience.
In the primeval period, there was a giant star in space, and Pangu opened the world, split the giant star into two halves, half of the sky and half of the earth, forming the current world, and Zhishan is the place where Pangu split the world with an axe, since then there is abundant spiritual energy here, countless elves were born and born, after tens of thousands of years, here was gradually discovered by humans, people quickly integrated into the world of elves, and learned the method of cultivating aura, began to cultivate themselves, created a unique Zhishan immortal art, and appeared more and more Zhishan sects, small more than a dozen people, as large as hundreds of people.
The increase of sects also began to lead to contradictions, from cultivating into immortals to becoming the lord of Zhishan, the purpose of cultivating immortals slowly changed, and the intensification between nearly a thousand sects led to all sects falling into a melee that lasted for thousands of years, Zhishan has since become a battlefield, and there is no longer the harmony of the past, all the elves and monsters have left, and what is hidden under the rich aura is a river of blood, until the Venerable Master came to Zhishan.
The Venerable Master was originally a disciple of Shushan, but during his travels in the world, he accidentally came to Zhishan, and felt that there was a richer aura here than Shushan, so he wanted to get acquainted with the immortal cultivators here, but he did not expect to fall into the war of Zhishan.
Relying on the Shushan Immortal Technique, a method that Zhishan immortal cultivators were not familiar with, the Venerable Master fell into Zhishan to break some fame and began to appear in the field of vision of the Zhishan faction, becoming the object of the various factions digging cages, and the Venerable Master also indulged in the abyss of fame and fortune, until he met the Jingxia Master at that time.
Master Jingxia was the daughter of the head of a small sect at that time, and she had several contacts with the Venerable Master, and slowly feelings developed between the two, and eventually they fell in love. And Jingxia's dream is to be able to unify Zhishan and end this thousand-year-long melee.
The Venerable Master was gradually influenced by the ancestor of Jingxia, and woke up in time, and the two began to embark on the road of unifying Zhishan, and then joined them were the four elders of the Zhishan Founding School who had the same idea, and the four young rookies of the four different sects with the same goal, and finally they spent nearly two hundred years to create the only Zhishan School, and the six of them were also known as the Four Yuan of Immortals, which shocked the world, and the Zhishan School was born.
