I plant love Gu for Xianjun

Behind the broken cave wall is a narrow corridor, at the end of which there is a secret room, and there is light in the secret room.

It was a beam of faint blue light that shifted slightly, casting a bright spot of water on the cave wall.Looking up following the light, I saw a layer of glazed brick roof embedded in the top of the secret room, and a thick water body actually accumulated above the brick roof.

"The brick roof is probably cracked or loose, and the water on the roof seeped down and merged into a small river." Lian Zhu Xian analyzed it this way.

"That's the mouth of the well." Feng Zhangjun judged the relative location of the secret room, it should be right under the ancient well in the master's yard.

"Look here." Lian Zhuxian threw the Zhaoye Pearl in his hand into the air, quickly lighting up the entire stone room.

Following the direction he pointed, Feng Zhangjun saw a slightly smaller golden furnace. Saggers and utensils for refining elixir were scattered on the ground, most of which were soaked in water.

"There are already alchemy ponds and alchemy chambers outside, so what must be refined in this secret room?" Lian Zhuxian raised the greatest confusion.

"..." Feng Zhangjun didn't have an answer, so he looked at other places in the stone room and carefully checked the containers one by one.

Like the alchemy room outside, the saggers here are all empty, but all the saggers are marked with strange ink on the surface.

Mr. Fengzhang knew that these marks were mostly the marks commonly used by the master in alchemy, so that it was easy to adjust the formula and proportion repeatedly.And this also showed that his master, Wuyouzi, had personally researched and concocted some kind of mysterious thing in this secret room.

At the suggestion of Lian Zhu Xian, they separately scraped off the powder from the inner wall of the cauldron and the sagger, and prepared to send it back to the Five Immortals Sect.Give it to a more experienced poison doctor to identify it.

The secret room was quickly searched carefully, and there were no other secret doors, so the two returned to the outside along the original road.

"Let's go."

Finding that Fengzhangjun's gaze was still lingering on the dilapidated building, Lian Zhuxian took his hand lightly, and said softly: "Let's go back to the Five Immortals. You don't have to worry about anything there. Sort out the clues, and then think about what to do next.”

"it is good."

Feng Zhangjun nodded, and held Lian Zhuxian tightly: "This time, I will follow you instead."

---

As Feng Zhangjun said before, fly north from Yinshan.For the first time, Lian Zhuxian ventured to fly over the top of the snow-capped mountains, and because of this, he saw a magnificent scene that was rarely seen in his life.

After passing the snow-capped Jade Mountains, the Jinsha Gobi disappeared, and the bright greenery began to spread slowly. He didn't need Feng Zhangjun's guidance, and he knew that "home" was coming soon.

Before officially returning to the Valley of the Five Immortals, Lian Zhuxian made a simple agreement with Jun Fengzhang: In order to avoid complications, Jun Fengzhang still blindfolded with a hair band and pretended to be blind.After figuring out the current situation first, make follow-up plans.

After making up their minds, the two entered the Valley of Five Immortals through the snake cave.

In the middle of summer, there has just been a torrential rain in the valley, and the greenery is everywhere, which makes people feel refreshed.

Maybe it was because Yun Cang's letter of affection played a role, or Xuantong made some explanations. When the disciples saw Feng Zhangjun again, they obviously lost the previous expression of resistance and vigilance—of course, Most of them turned into astonishment, and I'm afraid they were guessing who blinded the famous Feng Zhangjun.

Lian Zhuxian directly took Fengzhangjun to Tingpuju.When Xuan Tong saw the two of them back, he was obviously very happy, but after finding that Feng Zhang couldn't see him, he became puzzled.

No time to argue with Xuantong deliberately concealing Feng Zhangjun's itinerary, Lian Zhuxian first asked if there had been any changes in the Central Plains during the few days they were stranded in the desert.

"Yes, and it looks tricky."

Xuantong nodded, and his brows frowned instantly: "After you left, I sent people to the Central Plains to inquire about news, and there were also messengers from Dongxianyuan who were entrusted by Ah Qing and his brother to send some from time to time. Intelligence. There have been a lot of disturbances in Central Plains these days. The biggest one happened in the Huajian Hall in the south of the Yangtze River—it is said to be on the Qixi Festival. Suddenly several fierce ghouls broke into the hall and made a big noise in the hall. When the fire goes down, it not only destroys the entire lantern field, but also spreads all the way, causing a catastrophe!"

"Huajiantang? Isn't that the sect that tried to annex Biyunju?" Lian Zhuxian remembered the name, "Just after slaughtering Biyunju, something happened to his own sect. It must not be a coincidence. Besides, ordinary ghouls can Is it that powerful?"

"It's not a coincidence, I'm afraid it's also related to my master's whole plan." Feng Zhangjun said his speculation: "This whole thing, from Yuncang to Xixianyuan, then from Xixianyuan to Dongxianyuan Weiyang City, and then It is Biyun Residence. After Biyun Residence, there is Huajiantang."

Speaking of this, he turned to Xuantong and asked: "In that fire, did any important personnel of Huajiantang die?"

"Yes, and there are quite a few of them." Xuan Tong nodded and said, "The weather was dry in those few days, and there was a gust of evil wind at night. The fire burned for two full days and two nights, and burned most of the Huajian Hall and the city. The fire passed After cleaning the scene, it is said that the remains of many dignitaries in the hall were found."

Lian Zhuxian muttered: "Huajiantang is a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the important people in the hall may not all be masters, how likely is it to die in a mere fire? Things are definitely not that simple."

"It's indeed strange." Feng Zhangjun agreed. "And the fire hurt too many innocent people. I don't think this is my master's style of action."

"Your master?" Xuantong caught the point, "What's going on here?"

So, next, Lian Zhu Xian spoke up and briefly described what happened in the desert and Yiru Palace these days, but temporarily concealed the special situation of Feng Zhangjun.

After listening to everything, Xuantong couldn't help being confused: "During the entry trial, I did watch with my own eyes that Ah Jie took the life-protecting Gu, and there was no mistake. But since the Gu King is so sure, there must be his reasons .”

Lian Zhuxian asked: "So, senior brother, what is that life-protecting Gu?"

"..." Xuan Tong hesitated to speak, and glanced at Feng Zhangjun beside him, "I can't explain clearly in a few words, I will take you to see for yourself. Please ask Feng Zhangjun to avoid it."

Feng Zhangjun expressed his understanding and respect for the customs of the Five Immortals, and the three discussed briefly, and first went to practice Zhu Xian's painting environment.

Along the way, Feng Zhangjun played the blind man all the time, while Lian Zhu Xian supported him while talking with Xuan Tong.During this time, Lin Ziqing did not return to the Five Immortals Sect.Through the intermittent news from Dong Xianyuan, he and the young man named Yan Ying made important discoveries in Liuquan City.In the next few days, I will be returning to the Valley of the Five Immortals.

While talking, the three of them stepped into the painting environment.Anyway, Xuan Tong was well aware of the relationship between the two of them, so Lian Zhu Xian simply led Feng Zhangjun into his room.

After settled down with Mr. Feng Zhang, Lian Zhu Xian followed Xuan Tong to the west, crossed half of the valley, and came to the Hall of Gu Cun.

"The life-protecting Gu is in the storage Gu hall?" Lian Zhu Xian was stunned, "Such an important thing has been kept here?!"

"How is it possible." Xuan Tong led him to the shrine in the Gu hall, took out a key, and opened the golden box enshrined in the shrine's treasure tent.

Lian Zhuxian once heard that the box contained the relics of Taisu Patriarch, now seeing it with his own eyes, he knows it is not the case.

What was actually stored in the gold box was a palm-sized piece of hibiscus jade with a strange shape. It didn't look like a natural ore body, and it couldn't be seen what it had been carved into.

"Do you know that there is a magic weapon called shadow bone in Buddhism?" Xuantong explained proactively, "It is a counterfeit imitated from the Buddha's real bone."

Lian Zhu Xian immediately understood: "Could it be that this stone was carved out of the flesh and blood of Taisu Patriarch?"

Xuan Tong nodded, took a step forward and picked up the golden box: "Let's go, we can't see life-protecting Gu without this."

Lian Zhuxian followed Xuantong and left the Gu Hall again, but this time, they headed towards the wetland swamp where they had entered the trial.

Although the environment looks dangerous, in fact the swamp is the safest place in the Valley of Five Immortals.The raging poisonous insects and miasma acted as a natural barrier.In addition, the organs lurking in the swamp have undergone several generations of adjustments and improvements, which are treacherous and changeable.

The leader and guardian of the Five Immortals Sect calmly advanced amidst the perilous crises, and quickly passed through the swamp and came to the tall hall where the entrance trial took place.

Just like thousands of days and nights in the past, the inside and outside of the stone hall were always silent and desolate.The huge statue fell to the ground, and the dark red stone bed became more and more dilapidated.

Xuan Tong led Lian Zhu Xian around to the back of the collapsed stone statue, twisted the mechanism, pushed open an inconspicuous secret door, walked down a few steps, and came to a mysterious basement with exquisite relief carvings on the walls.

"This is..." Even though it was the first time he came here, Lian Zhu Xian somehow felt that the relief in front of him looked familiar.

He thought about it for a while, and then he recalled that he had seen almost exactly the same picture in the Shuiyue Palace in Xixianyuan.

However, the murals in the illusion of the Water Moon Palace have been mottled and peeled off, and it is impossible to get a glimpse of the whole picture, but the reliefs in this secret room are well preserved.

So he asked Xuan Tong: "When was this stone chamber excavated?"

"That's not so clear." Xuantong gave a rather vague answer, "You see, this palace is completely different from other buildings in the Valley of the Five Immortals. It must have been left a long time ago, even all the way back to ancient times. The time is also unknown...what happened?"

"No, it's fine."

It's hard to explain clearly in a few words, so Lian Zhuxian temporarily buried his doubts in his heart, planning to see the true face of the life-protecting Gu first, and then go back and read the content of the relief carefully.

Xuan Tong had already stood in front of the north wall of the stone chamber, and took out the hibiscus stone in the golden box.It was only then that Lian Zhuxian discovered that there was an irregularly shaped depression left on the relief wall, and the shape was roughly consistent with the hibiscus stone.

Sure enough, Xuantong pressed the hibiscus stone into the wall, and there was a crisp organ sound immediately.Xuan Tong slowly rotated the Furong Stone for half a circle, and there was another low rumbling sound in the stone room, and the stone walls began to slowly separate towards the two sides.

"This is--"

Although he had somewhat built up his mind, Lian Zhu Xian still gasped because of the scene in front of him.

If it is said that there is a paradise in this world, it may be nothing more than that.

What is displayed in front of you is a not-so-large underground hall, but even "golden and magnificent" is not enough to describe its brilliance and magnificence——

On the four walls, reliefs painted with rock colors and inlaid with precious stones depict a vibrant natural scene.The green vines seem to be swaying in the wind.The deep bushes are dotted with berries inlaid with rubies and sapphires.Looking higher up, it is the golden sunlight made of gold, passing through the lush tree crowns and clusters of colorful flowers, as if it will fall on the people who step here at any time.On the ceiling above the head, countless birds of various shapes are hovering eternally, making moving twitters that no one can hear.

And in this eternal beauty and tranquility, Lian Zhuxian saw the same familiar existence—the golden tree.

It was a real big tree made of gold and gold leaf, with luxuriant branches and leaves, even in the dark underground, it was still so bright that it seemed to be able to emit light.

And what they were looking for was quietly placed under the shade of the golden tree.

It was a small gold-plated pagoda similar in appearance to Cun Gu Hall, so detailed that the angle irons on the eaves of each floor could shake freely.Xuan Tong led Lian Zhu Xian to go forward, firstly he saluted the golden pagoda, and then supported the base of the pagoda with both hands, and opened the pagoda.

Inside the tower is another small gold box, which is inlaid with pearls and gemstones of various colors.And after opening the golden box, Lian Zhu Xian had really seen what he was looking for.

"This is..." He was stunned, "Could it be the body of Patriarch Taisu?"

No wonder he would make such a bold guess, because the object in the golden box in front of him, except for the slightly dark red color, is almost exactly the same as the hibiscus stone that Xuantong brought all the way from the Gu storage hall just now.

wrong!Lian Zhuxian quickly corrected his judgment again - because he suddenly discovered that this palm-sized thing squirmed slightly.

It was a living thing!

Xuantong nodded: "You are right, this is the flesh and blood of Patriarch Taisu, and it is also the most important material for making life-protecting Gu."

"How is it possible?!" Lian Zhuxian couldn't understand at all, "Didn't Patriarch Taisu die as early as in ancient times?"

"That's true, but he is an ancient god after all, and he is different from ordinary human beings. His body was originally born in chaos. Even if his soul is separated, his body can still survive, but because of this, he has been coveted by many parties... At least, as the head of the Five Immortals Sect, that's what I was told."

The answer is unique, and Lian Zhu Xian can only reluctantly accept it.He thought for a while, and then remembered another thing: "There is a treasure in Xixianyuan, called the Fahua Mirror. According to legend, it was made from the parietal bone of Patriarch Taisu."

"Why is it a parietal bone?" Xuantong snorted coldly, "After Taisu's defeat, the remains were divided among the immortals in order to absorb the power of chaos condensed in the remains and improve their cultivation. If it was 500 years earlier For thousands of years, there are many magic weapons of all kinds."

Lian Zhuxian also heard similar words from the mouth of the head priestess of Xixianyuan.However, this time, he felt that some terrifying clues were connected in series.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Xuantong continue: "Since the establishment of the Five Immortals Sect, this piece of the patriarch's holy body has been enshrined as a sacred object. Before the initiation ceremony every year, the successive leaders would cut off small pieces of the holy body to make it Life-protecting Gu. And after a year of sealing, the holy body will still return to its original state, neither increasing nor decreasing."

In other words, every qualified follower of the Five Immortals has a part of Taisu Patriarch in his body.In the dark, communicate with the ancient gods.

The most important secret of the Five Immortals Sect has been revealed, but practicing Zhu Xian did not feel the euphoric feeling of relief.

Bringing Lian Zhu Xian into this secret room this time, Xuan Tong has greatly broken the precedent, now that the goal has been achieved, he closed the gold box and the pagoda again, urging Lian Zhu Xian to return the same way.

So the two left the secret room and went back to the stone room with walls full of reliefs outside.

Lian Zhu Xian asked, hoping to take a closer look at the contents of the relief.

His previous judgment was basically correct - the reliefs here and the murals in the Water Moon Palace also depict ancient legends, but they have different positions, and the further they develop, the greater the differences will be.

The chaos was first divided, and the ancient gods were born there.Later, God created man, and man became the original ancient immortal; the ancient immortal came to the sky and confronted their creator, and the contradiction unfolded here.

As the number of human beings continues to grow, the ancient immortal camp is also growing rapidly.But the Old Gods began to decline.Their powerful power was coveted by the ancient immortals, and they were reduced from noble creators to lowly monsters. They were dismembered alive and thrown into the cauldron.

Although there is no word chiselled on the murals, just facing the carved scenes is enough to send chills down the spine and make the blood boil.It even reminded Lian Zhuxian of the catastrophe in the Valley of Five Immortals 200 years ago.

Talking about asking for immortality and returning to the basics, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than party unity and dissent, and the jungle of the jungle.It has been so in the past, it is so now, and I am afraid it will not change in the future.

The shocking relief picture occupied nearly half of the wall, and the strong sense of disgust drove Lian Zhu Xian to quicken his pace.

With the retreat and demise of the ancient gods, the immortals occupied the territory of the former gods.And found the last undifferentiated chaos.

At this time, the last ancient god—Taisu was born from the chaos.
