Chapter Fifty-Seven: Reminiscing about the Eventful Past
In the worldview of the few of them, wasn't the Grey Crane Ancestor already sealed in the wilderness by the God of War Fan Immortal and the Eight Hundred Guiru disciples as early as seven thousand years ago?
Although it is said that the disciples of Guiru who experienced the battle of gods and demons back then have long been drowned in the dust of history, and the Guiru Temple has also suffered great damage due to the battle of the Wilderness, and even collapsed for nearly a thousand years, but the legend of the war between gods and demons has been passed down in the wilderness world.
Although the four holy sons all really worshiped the god of war after a thousand years of the Great War of Gods and Demons, they were also familiar with the story of the disciples of Guiru who calmly died for the sake of barbaric peace.
So the Gray Crane Ancestor, one of the two great protectors of the famous Cangwu Demon Clan, how could they be unfamiliar?
Since the name of the Gray Crane Ancestor came out of Xiuji's mouth, the field immediately fell into a deathly silence, except for Xiuji and Shen Tude who were panting for breath due to fear and nervousness, the entire Daoru Pavilion could be said to be so quiet that even the sound of needles falling to the ground could be heard clearly.
After touching about half a cup of tea, the Heavenly Punishment Venerable shook his head helplessly, and asked wisely and rationally: "Are you sure that the person who committed the murder in Dayongji before was the Demon Clan's protector Gray Crane Ancestor?"
"Sure and sure!"
Xiu Ji immediately straightened his expression, and said confidently: "That day, I and my uninjured senior brother witnessed the Gray Crane Ancestor killing people and taking souls to practice on the top of Mangshan Mountain, but because my senior brother and sister were not cultivating enough, I dared to step forward to stop him. ”
"I was going to rush back to the temple to report the incident as soon as possible, but unfortunately I saw the evil deeds of Bai Twilight killing people and destroying the town halfway, and then the senior brother was inexplicably attacked and killed by Bai Dui, so there is today's situation. ”
No, no, no!
Hearing this, the Heavenly Punishment Venerable waved his hand again and again: "Since the Gray Crane Ancestor also appeared in the Great Yongji, then the beginning and end of this matter is obviously not as simple as it seems on the surface, and even I am beginning to wonder now that Bai Twilight in your mouth is the scapegoat of the Gray Crane Ancestor!"
"Senior brother, why did you speak for Bai Dui, whom Su Mo met?"
The irascible and impulsive Heavenly Damnation Venerable got up dissatisfiedly and asked, because of the reason for his anger, several wrinkles appeared on his smooth face, and his face, which originally looked calm, looked a little ugly at this time.
"Senior brother, senior brother, you have practiced with your master for thousands of years, can't you change your impulsive and irritable temperament?"
Heavenly Punishment Venerable looked helplessly at the angry junior disciple, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You may not know the person of the Gray Crane Ancestor, but I am no stranger to him!"
"At the time of the Great War of Gods and Demons, although I had officially entered the God of War at the end of the year, I was already a little Taoist boy in the Guiru Palace, cleaning the dust and serving tea and pouring water in the master's meditation room every day, and at the same time following the senior brothers to practice immortals. ”
"Later, the war between gods and demons was about to break out, and all the 800 disciples of the Guiru Temple rushed to the Cangwu Wilderness to participate in the holy war overnight, and because I was a little young and did not practice enough, I was left behind in Fuyu Mountain to guard the mountain gate. ”
Although he has never faced the gray crane in person, from the mouths of other brothers who have returned by luck, he also knows a little about the insidious and fierce nature of the gray crane. ”
"I think that back then, the eight hundred disciples of the Guiru Temple went to Cangwu to participate in the Holy War of Gods and Demons, and the two of the Demon Emperor Yiqin and the Gray Crane Ancestor alone slaughtered three hundred of my Guiru disciples, so you can imagine how brave and strategic the Gray Crane was back then......"
Report!
A hurried alarm suddenly sounded outside the door, and at the same time, it also interrupted the words of the Heavenly Punishment Venerable.
Enter!
The little Taoist boy who was guarding the door hurriedly invited the person who reported the news into the cabinet.
The person who came was a middle-aged man over forty years old, who looked full of loyalty, although his appearance was mediocre, but his sturdy figure and the white tight-fitting black clothes were also quite good.
"Shenque, why are you in such a hurry?" asked the Heavenly Punishment Venerable as he sat upright and asked with a calm face.
"Report to Your Excellency, just now the disciples in the Dacheng Hall came to report, there is a man and a woman who have quietly broken through the ethereal illusion realm, and are currently staying on the Guixian Cliff, the preliminary guess is that it may be coveting the divine weapon in the Sword Pavilion, please arrest someone immediately!"
"What!"
Heavenly Retribution immediately jumped up from the table in a violent rage, and asked loudly, "Do you know the origin of those two?"
"I don't know!"
The middle-aged man named Shenque shook his head and continued to mutter: "There is no information about the life history of these two people for the time being, but according to the description of the disciples from the Dacheng Palace, the intruder is a man and a woman, the man is about sixteen or seventeen years old, he is quite handsome, carrying an ancient sword on his back, and wearing a white floor-length robe!"
"And that woman is about the same age as a young man, dressed in a translucent green gauze robe, with a sword in turn, I think it should be a strong person with advanced cultivation, at this time the two of them are staying on the Guixian Cliff, I am afraid that they want to fight the idea of thousands of divine soldiers in the Sword Pavilion!"
"It's these two people!"
"They are Twilight and Ling Yan!"
"It was they who killed the Xuanyuan Sword Immortal and the uninjured senior brother!" Xiu Ji hurriedly shouted when he heard this.
"Is that them?"
Shen Que glanced at Xiu Ji with the corner of his eye suspiciously, and then cast his gaze on the four holy sons, and said in an uncertain tone: "The current situation is urgent, please make a decision to the four holy sons!"
"Senior brother, what are you still hesitating about, the four of us hurry up to the back mountain to kill those two evil animals who killed people and destroyed the town!"
However, as the elder brother, Heavenly Punishment still sat motionless, staring ahead with half-squinted eyes, as if pondering something.
Looking at the other two holy sons, their faces were also calm and calm, and they were not moved by the situation in front of them at all, and the calm and calm expressions of the three of them were in stark contrast to the thunderous actions of the Heavenly Damned Venerable.
In fact, Heavenly Damnation Venerable is also one of the four proud disciples of the God of War Fanxian, and together with the other three present, he is called the Four Saints of Guiru.
It stands to reason that after practicing with the Buddha Immortal for thousands of years, even if the temper is bad, it should be restrained.
But this Heavenly Retribution Venerable character is so rough and unconventional, and he never thinks about it when he encounters things.
However, among the four, he is the most pure and evil by nature, and he has always relied on his own subjective judgment to look at things that are not good and evil, and the thoughts of good and evil are very clear.
It may be his pure nature, so among the four holy sons of the Guiru Temple, although he was the latest to worship under the God of War, his cultivation was second only to the senior brother Heavenly Punishment, ranking second among the holy sons, followed by Tianyan Venerable and Heavenly Burning Venerable who seemed to be middle-aged.
