Chapter 311: Barren Ancient Hall, Thousand Years Away
With a flash of light, Qiu Yan suddenly felt the soil on the soles of his feet running, and knew that it was Chen Yun who had performed the Shifting Method, if he triggered his heart fire and interfered with the aura at this time, he would immediately destroy the operation of this method from the inside.
"This Chen Yun's cultivation is not low, and he casts spells in the flesh, at least he is also a divine soul cultivator, comparable to a god. ”
Qiu Yan didn't react to this, and let this liliang drive himself to move, and at the same time separate his perception and feel the changes in the aura around him.
This kind of change is very complicated, even ordinary monks, it is difficult to find anything from it, but Qiu Yan's divine spirit body can be analyzed with the help of incense thoughts, and it takes some time to determine the route of movement through the changes in spiritual energy.
"From the flow of the aura and the increasing heavy aura around it, it can probably be judged that this moving method is not to move on the ground, but to move everyone underground, and it seems that the place where they are going is somewhere underground. ”
These thoughts flashed in Qiu Yan's heart, and then the scene in front of him changed.
The woods were gone, replaced by a dilapidated ancestral hall with dim light but a faint light to discern it, and the source of light was a few candlesticks on the altar.
This move didn't take long, it was just Qiu Yan's effort.
The candlestick is waxed and the candle flame is flickering.
Qiu Yan retracted his perception and looked at the ancestral hall in front of him.
The ancestral hall looks small, but most of it has collapsed, and the ground is covered with huge gravel and layers of soil, and judging by the thick layer of dust on it, it is quite old.
While Qiu Yan was observing the surroundings, Lu Daoren and Tao Ying were also looking around, not caring about Chen Yun's methods at all.
Needless to say, outsiders are no strangers to the Shifting Dao Technique, but Tao Ying also looks not strange, but this official who is in the position of the county commander does not have a good complexion. His face was sallow, and his steps were a little vain when he walked.
Qiu Yan took a look at it and knew that this was the sequelae caused by high-speed movement, similar to the motion sickness he had seen in his previous life.
This Tao Ying was in a trance because of the movement, and it seemed that he had never practiced. ”
Qiu Yan already had a rough idea of this, just now in the forest, when he observed Tao Ying, he found that his body was weak, although he had official authority. But the blood is not strong, even if it seems to be in good spirits, but it is only pampered and pampered.
Noticing Qiu Yan's gaze, Tao Ying snorted coldly and turned his head.
Qiu Yan's words in the forest just now didn't leave Tao Ying with any face, and directly broke his and Chen Jing's plans, and directly reprimanded Tao Ying without concealing it. This is not a big offense for an official of good rank, and he must be upset.
The atmosphere between the two was discovered by Chen Jing, and he smiled slightly. He greeted: "Brother Qiu, Brother Tao, and Lu Dao Chief, please come here, let's meet the sage first, and then we can tell you the follow-up in detail." ”
Hear this. Qiu Yan retracted his gaze, followed the sound, and saw Chen Jing and Chen Yun standing in front of the Shentai not far away. On the platform behind them, there was a clay sculpture, the lower part of the clay sculpture was illuminated by the lights, but the upper part was hidden in the darkness, and even Qiu Yan's eyes couldn't see clearly, as if there was a layer of fog.
However, after approaching, he clearly felt a simple and mellow artistic conception from the statue, although this artistic conception was weak, but it gave Qiu Yan a sense of tenacity and unbreakability, lingering in the clay sculpture.
"This ancestral hall should be the hall of sages, but looking at the appearance, it has been abandoned for a long time, how can there still be the spirit of the sages on this clay sculpture? No one worships, worships, or presents the sage spirit, and the spirit of the sages on the clay sculptures should have long since dissipated. ”
Walking to the shrine, Qiu Yan looked up, and finally saw the appearance of the clay sculpture, but it was an old man in a coarse linen short coat, although the clay sculpture was rough and his face was blurred, but he still caught a little peaceful atmosphere from the eyebrows of the clay sculpture, faintly revealing the humanistic atmosphere, and the humanistic atmosphere of Confucianism was not the same as the humanistic atmosphere of Confucianism.
"I don't know which sage this clay sculpture is, and what kind of doctrine it is......"
One question after another, flooded Qiu Yan's mind.
According to what Ji Zheng said and the information collected by Qiu Yan, he already understood the role of the clay sage statue, and knew that it was the embodiment of the order of heaven and earth.
The order of heaven and earth comes from the propositions and doctrines of the world, otherwise it will be difficult to become a spirit. Even if a certain doctrine manifested the world in those years and had many disciples, if its ideas did not penetrate into the hearts of the people, it would still be difficult to build the order of heaven and earth, and even if they left their writings, they would not be able to mobilize the power of order.
Correspondingly, the clay sculptures that can inherit the spirit of order, if they can't gather the humanistic atmosphere and don't have the academy to worship, after a long time, the spirit inside will gradually pass, and zuihou will return to ordinary clay and no longer magical.
This time of decline and disappearance does not take too long.
And the clay sculpture that appeared in front of Qiu Yan was obviously some years old, and looking at the surrounding environment, it was impossible for anyone to worship Yiwen Si Article.
"How many years has the tenacity in this clay sculpture lasted?"
Just when Qiu Yan was puzzled, Chen Jing spoke: "Everyone, I think you have all seen this clay sculpture, and you should have all noticed the spirit lingering on it, yes, this clay sculpture is a sage clay sculpture! It embodies an order of heaven and earth and a humane proposition!"
As he spoke, Qiu Yan, Tao Ying, and Lu Daoren's attention was concentrated, and their eyes were focused on their people.
Seeing this, Chen Jing nodded slightly, and then pointed around: "Where we are, directly below the Eastern Capital, is a sage hall buried in the soil. ”
Hearing this, Tao Ying opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Chen Jing waving his hand: "Brother Tao, don't be in a hurry to ask, this place was not discovered by my Chen family, but the discoverer has some connections with my Chen family, and my father spent a lot of money to buy the news and then block it." ”
When Qiu Yan heard the word "blockade", his heart moved slightly, and he felt a trace of blood from inside.
"According to the discoverer, he entered here by mistake more than 20 years ago, and only then did he discover this strange sage hall, after getting the news, my Chen family sent a lot of people to investigate, record the things in it, the environment, and compare it with ancient books, zuihou came to a conclusion......"
When the Chen family said this, they showed solemn feelings, and said word by word: "This sage hall has been abandoned for at least more than a thousand years!"
"What!?"
An exclamation came from Tao Ying's mouth, his face was full of shock, and he muttered to himself: "Thousand years of time?" After saying these four words, he looked around, his eyes swept around, "There is a thousand years of history here? A thousand years of time, sinking into the ground, no one can worship Wen Si, thousands of years later, how can the clay sculpture still have a spirit?"
Obviously, Tao Ying also has a certain understanding of clay sculpture sages.
Not only him, but the Daoist also showed a look of surprise, but he didn't show it as obvious as Tao Ying.
Even Qiu Yan's expression moved slightly, and he became more and more curious about the sage clay sculpture.
"Your surprise, Chen can understand. ”
Chen Jing said in a timely manner: "When I first heard about this matter, I was also shocked for a long time, and it was difficult to understand, but the reason for this is that I can't know, my Chen family is also a little shili, and there are a lot of liliang who can be mobilized, although it is limited to secrecy, and I can't ask the five military governors to help, but I also sent a lot of family elites to explore here and explore the root cause, but unfortunately it is difficult to find clues, not to mention that the sages are solemn and dare not blaspheme, so they have not been able to gain anything." ”
He turned around and glanced at the statue behind him: "The Eastern Capital has been established for more than a thousand years, and it has experienced wars and natural disasters in the middle, the old city has been destroyed several times, and it has been rebuilt. ”
sighed with emotion, Chen Jing knew that what he said was almost the same, and finally pointed out the topic: "However, although I don't know why, with this statue, I can wait for this soul to send Shilin!"
He glanced at Chen Yun, who understood, stepped forward, took out two boxes from his sleeve, and handed them to Chen Jing.
Chen Jing got the box and opened one of them first.
A faint luster emanated from the box, and in the box was a roll of smooth paper, without any blemishes, releasing pure mental fluctuations, and it was blank.
Feeling this fluctuation, Qiu Yan immediately distinguished, this was another piece of sage paper.
Stretching out his hand to hold this piece of paper, Chen Jing looked at Qiu Yan and said, "With this sage paper, as long as Brother Qiu writes on it, explaining the way of self-cultivation and shocking the clay sculpture, then the gate of Shilin can be opened in advance!"
He took a deep breath and raised his voice: "In this eastern capital city, in addition to a few academies, there are clay sculptures of sages, only Minglun Hall in the imperial city, but whether it is the academy or the imperial city Minglun, it will not be easy to open, easy to touch, and when the apricot altar is arguing, the world's academies are sacrificing to the sages, and thousands of troops are coming, I don't know how many variables there will be, but if you can enter the forest in advance, you can calmly arrange and occupy an advantage. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Jing opened another box and took out four jade bracelets from it, each bracelet rippled out of a continuous artistic conception, like a stream of water, and the body of the bracelet was even more sparkling, as if flowing water was condensed, and at a glance it was not ordinary.
"The soul enters the forest, and it is one thing to enter the forest, but the body is left in the yang world, hiding the danger, and the people who enter the forest in the academy and the imperial city naturally do not need to worry about the safety of the body, but we can't wait for this, but Chen has also been prepared, these four are even water bracelets, one person, and they are connected to each other in safety and danger, and they are sheltered together. ”
Chen Jing rolled his eyes, "With this arrangement, Brother Qiu is still satisfied?"
When the words fell, everyone's eyes were moving, focusing on Qiu Yan, and he suddenly narrowed his eyes and weighed the pros and cons. (To be continued......)
