Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 159
After a short rest, Qian Yuan and his party formed a battle formation and sneaked towards Taixuzong.

Speaking of the Taixu Sect, it seems to have a little connection with Qian Yuan, because the sect's residence before the sect was exterminated was precisely the Zhaoyao Mountain located in the western suburbs of the Zhaoyao City.

Zhaoyao Mountain is the largest and highest mountain in Zhaoyao County. It is 15 kilometers long from north to south and 10 kilometers wide from east to west. It covers an area of ​​148 square kilometers and the highest peak is 3752 meters above sea level.

The mountains are covered with osmanthus trees and are rich in gold and jade.

There is a kind of spiritual grass called Zhuyucao growing on the mountain, and you will not feel hungry after eating it; there is also a kind of spiritual tree called Gu (gu), you will not get lost if you take its branches.

The branch of the hub is the best tool for traveling through the cloud and mist formation of Liangyi.

There is also a kind of spirit beast called xing (xing) that lives on the mountain of Zhaoyao. If you eat its meat, you can run fast.

It is reported that the king of the scorpion has reached the realm of the demon king.

Time has passed, and everything about Zhaoyao Mountain has nothing to do with Taixuzong. The Taixuzong Mountain Gate in front of us is just an inconspicuous mountain in the Zulong Mountain Range.

The radius is only ten miles, and the highest point is only 300 meters from the foot of the mountain.

In the previous Taixu Sect, a small mountain like this was not even worthy of being a cave for true disciples, but now it is the home of a sect.

It's really touching.

Passing through the stone archway-like mountain gate and climbing up the bluestone steps, you can see buildings and courtyards hidden among the green mountains and green waters, blending with the mountains.

Occasionally, on the mountainside, you can see pieces of irregularly shaped spirit fields, medicine gardens, and animal pens for raising spirit beasts.

Although the mountain gate is small, it has all internal organs.

The strange thing is that the courtyard is spotless, and there are obviously people living in it; the spiritual grass growing well in the medicine garden is obviously taken care of by someone, but there is no one in sight.

"Your Highness, there is a smell of blood."

Xu Chu was most sensitive to blood, and pointed to the top of the mountain, which should be the center of the sect.

"go!"

Qian Yuan and his entourage didn't bother to check in detail any longer, and quickly walked to the top of the mountain. What they saw was an invisible square, all of which were paved with white marble.

Apart from eight five-meter-tall tripods, there is nothing else on the square.

If Qianyuan's prediction is correct, these eight cauldrons are not only decorations, but also the center for controlling the Liangyi Cloud and Mist Formation. They are also unattended now.

Looking closely, the surface of the cauldron was already covered with cracks, obviously it could no longer be used.

Passing through the square surrounded by clouds and smoke, you will find the Taixu Sect's main hall. It is only one floor, but 30 meters high. It is built with huge rocks and huge trees. It is magnificent and has carved railings and painted buildings.

The high raised eaves and the bronze wind chimes hanging from the eaves add a touch of fairyland to the hall.

To build this temple in Zulong Mountain Range is already very remarkable.

Qianyuan even wondered whether this large square and the glorious hall were the final pride and glory of the Taixu Sect?Even though he is in such a miserable state, he still remains proud.

In the final analysis, the great war that took place at the end of the Middle Ages was nothing more than a battle of ideas and models. It had nothing to do with justice, good or evil, or the struggle between Taoism and demons.

All for a better life.

The hall door was wide open, and the smell of blood wafted out from the hall.

Entering the main hall, what he saw made Qian Yuan stunned on the spot, and he didn't know how to react for a while, as if he had encountered a very unimaginable event.

It's really incredible.

In the main hall, more than 15 corpses were neatly arranged, some were old and some were young, the youngest was probably less than [-] years old, and they all committed suicide.

Judging by their attire, they should be members of the "disappeared" Taixu sect.

Xu Chu went forward to check the corpses, and replied: "Your Highness, these people have just died. Judging from the time, they should have committed suicide collectively when the formation was broken."

"Are all the people in the sect so cowardly?" Qian Yuan's doubts could not be dispelled.

If you can't beat it, just play suicide together?

What kind of trick is this...

"Sir, what do you think?" Qian Yuan asked Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng frowned and said: "Looking at the way they died, it should be a collective martyrdom. The purpose of doing this is to keep some secret."

Once captured, no matter how hard his mouth is, he can't escape the method of searching for souls.

Therefore, the best way to keep secrets in the cultivation world is to die.

Qian Yuan was silent.

He also felt that the group of them seemed to have touched something extraordinary unintentionally, and ordered: "Seal the sect and see if there are any fish that slipped through the net. In addition, search the mountain carefully, Let's see if we can find any clues."

"promise!"

Xu Chu and Guo Jia took orders and left.

…………

Night falls.

Qian Yuan and his entourage met again in the main hall on the top of the mountain.

As expected, in the entire Taixu Sect, apart from a dozen spirit beasts and an old yellow dog guarding the gate, there was no other living thing to be seen.

During the search, Xu Chu found that, perhaps because of the sudden incident, the rest of the Taixu Sect remained basically the same except for one thing, that is, all books, jade slips and other items in the sect were urgently destroyed.

Not a single scrap of paper remained.

This further confirmed Li Chunfeng's previous suspicion that they were keeping some huge secret.

Guo Jia was more careful. He found that the number of houses in the Ether Xuzong could accommodate at least 300 people, far more than those who died in the main hall.

In other words, there are other disciples who have not returned from the trip.

"It's such a coincidence?" Qian Yuan always felt a little unreal, what could it be that made a hidden sect mobilize more than [-]% of its power.

Can't figure it out.

This night, Qian Yuan and his entourage spent the night in the main hall and kept on guard all night.

In the end nothing happened.

Early the next morning, Qian Yuan stopped thinking about it, turned Tai Xuzong upside down, packed everything he could take away, and didn't even leave a single spiritual herb for them.

Li Chunfeng even used his spiritual sense to scan the Taixuzong up and down to make sure that no hidden treasure room was missed, and no one was missed.

After some searching, it was really rich.

"Get rich!"

Qianyuan couldn't hide his joy. According to rough statistics, the number of spirit stones found in the search alone was no less than 100 million, including many middle-grade spirit stones.

This year, and even next year's military spending will be settled.

In addition to spirit stones, many precious refining materials, monster materials, elixirs, spirit herbs, talismans, array disks, etc. were found in the treasure house of Taixuzong.

Its value is still above Lingshi.

Naturally, there is no reason to keep the herbs in the medicine garden and the spirit beasts in the animal pen.

In the afternoon, Qianyuan and his party were like a group of bandits returning from victory, carrying large and small bags with them, leaving Taixu Sect in a mighty manner and embarking on their return journey.

…………

Daqian, an unknown underground location.

The underground cave is extremely dark, and a simple formation is carved on the wet ground, extending five corners, arranged according to the five elements, and each corner is inlaid with a top-quality spirit stone.

The best spirit stone.

Even according to the lowest exchange ratio, one top-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for 100 million low-grade spiritual stones, and the actual value is far above 100 million.

It is a priceless treasure.

It is the treasure house of the Daqian royal family, which does not store more than ten top-grade spirit stones.

Who would have thought that in such an unknown place, someone would be extravagant enough to use five top-grade spirit stones to set up formations, which is frighteningly extravagant.

In contrast, Qian Yuan is really a poor ghost.

zizi~~~
Driven by some mysterious power, the formation suddenly lit up, and each line began to flash, and the blue flame pierced the darkness of the ground, making it even more mysterious.

At some point, five mysterious phantoms appeared above the five corners.

The mysterious human standing in the Golden Horn said: "Taixu, why did you call us urgently?" The voice was very illusory, as if it came from far away.

Taixu stood at the water corner and said: "Just yesterday, the soul lamps of Taixu Sect's remaining disciples were almost extinguished at the same time. I suspect that Taixu Sect has been breached."

Although there was some regret in the words, it didn't seem to be very distressed.

"Oh?"

The voice of the mysterious person in Golden Horn became louder, and he asked, "Is it the native, or who?"
