Chapter 679: The Shrine in the Mountain, the Monkey and the Crown
The sunset and evening shine, the brilliant smoke, the boundless magnificent sky, a starlight, like a guiding light, across the sky.
"Boom~"
In the roar, the starlight dispersed, revealing a man and a woman, two figures, the man was heroic, and the woman was quiet and quiet, it was Zhang Fan and Fairy Xinglan.
At this time, it was more than three days since they went deep into the 100,000 mountains.
"Fairy Xinglan is really good, Zhang admires it!"
Looking at the scattered starlight left and right, Zhang Fan opened his mouth to praise.
Along the way, deep into the mountains and dense forests, and they are all places where the two have never been, the Xinglan Fairy is to guide the way with that starlight, and never miss it, a few miles ahead, is the Red Cloud Slope.
What Zhang Fan praised was not just this guiding starlight power, but what was hidden in it.
Along the way, he clearly saw that when the starlight changed direction, above the sky, no matter the night, there was always a little bit of starry looming, as if this starlight was guiding the way, but it echoed with the stars in the sky, so it had this miraculous effect.
That's pretty remarkable.
"Brother Donghua praised it. β
Fairy Xinglan smiled indifferently, and then looked down and said, "Brother Dao, what do they think they are doing?"
The place under their feet is also the reason why the two of them stopped before reaching Hongyun Slope.
"Maybe it's a sacrifice!"
A flash of brilliance flashed in Zhang Fan's eyes, and he replied casually.
"Shrine, fun, fun!"
There were no less than hundreds of mortals below, and what was worshipping was a shrine made of rough bluestone.
Originally, it was not strange for mortals to be ignorant, foolish people in the mountains, and to fiddle with some silver worship to the mountain gods and the like, but when they thought of the Corpse Abandonment Sect being changed to the Corpse Abandonment Sect, people couldn't help but be suspicious.
"Let's go down and have a look!"
Zhang Fan smiled slightly, gestured to the Xinglan Fairy, turned into two streamers, and fell straight down.
The group of mortals below who were still worshipping had already discovered them when the two of them appeared in the air, and now they saw that the two of them had the intention of coming down, and they immediately exclaimed in unison, and scattered as birds and beasts.
When Zhang Fan and the two of them landed, the surrounding shrine was empty.
The scattered villagers did not stay away, but peeked carefully hundreds of zhang away, and once Zhang Fan's eyes swept over, they immediately fled with a crawl.
Ordinary people are afraid of immortal cultivators who have their incomprehensible power, this is the norm, not to mention the villagers in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, where immortal cultivators are rarely seen?
But the strange thing is that in the eyes of these villagers, in addition to horror, there is also a kind of hatred in them, as if they are not strong enough to eradicate them.
The reason why these villagers can survive here and spontaneously sacrifice to the shrine should not be much worse than their relationship with the Corpse Abandonment Sect, this hatred is naturally not aimed at the Corpse Abandonment Sect, and the ** of the Ten is for all the foreign immortal cultivators.
"It seems that they have a lot to do with the Corpse Abandonment Sect!"
Zhang Fan secretly paid attention to himself, if he could be brainwashed by the corpse abandonment sect, the relationship was naturally far away.
However, these ant-like mortals couldn't do any harm at all, and he didn't bother to care about them, just walked to the shrine with the Xinglan Fairy.
At a casual glance, they knew that what they had guessed was correct, this shrine was indeed related to the Corpse Abandonment Sect.
Although the exterior of the shrine is made of rough stones, it is thought that it is the handwriting of these villagers, but the inside is not, the carving is exquisite, and the demeanor is lifelike, and non-master craftsmen cannot do it.
Immediately, Zhang Fan frowned slightly and asked, "Is this a corpse abandoned Taoist?"
He originally thought that what was enshrined in this shrine should be the founding patriarch of the Corpse Abandon Sect, or the contemporary sect master or something, but he never thought about it, but at a glance, it seemed to be inhuman.
It was a Lei Gong face, a thin monkey-like figure, with a faint fluff on the face, which looked more ape-like.
What's even more disgusting is that this monkey-like figure is still dressed in a much more gorgeous and solemn costume than Zhang Fan's Xuanjin gown, with a crown on his head, like an emperor.
Mu monkey and crown, I want to describe it like this!
If it weren't for the eighteen golden corpses carved behind this monkey's head like auspicious clouds, it was the most widely circulated image of the corpse abandonment sect patriarch and the most widely circulated person, I am afraid that Zhang Fan would not be able to associate this wooden carving clay sculpture with the corpse abandonment sect no matter what.
Those golden corpses, carved more and more skillfully, each one is majestic, the face is very different from the iron corpse seen before, not rigid, but each has its own demeanor, or happy, or angry, or sad, or crazy...... It seems that at any moment, you can jump up from the shrine and fall into the air.
According to legend, in ancient times, the corpse abandonment Taoist was almost invincible in Qinzhou, and his biggest magical power was related to these eighteen golden corpses.
The eighteen golden corpses are the natal corpses that have been by his side since his debut, and they can form a large array of heavenly corpses, with earth-shattering power, and I don't know how many great supernatural powers have been killed.
It is said that after his disappearance, these eighteen golden corpses have been handed down, and the means of guarding the family for the past generations of corpse abandonment sect masters is equivalent to the Zhou Tian Xingchen diagram of the Fa Xiang Sect, if not, the corpse abandonment sect would not still dominate Qinzhou after losing the pillars, and it was not until later that the Fa Xiang Sect and others were defeated and retreated to this 100,000 mountains.
Therefore, what Zhang Fan guessed was either a corpse abandonment Taoist or a contemporary corpse abandonment sect master, and only the two of them were worthy of the image of the eighteen golden corpses.
"It's the Corpse Abandoned Daoist!"
The clouds and breezes between the expressions of the Xinglan Fairy were light, and they suddenly disappeared, replaced by an incomparably solemn color.
"Or, in the later stage, the corpse abandonment Taoist who claims to be the corpse abandonment emperor!"
"Corpse Abandoned Emperor?"
Zhang Fan frowned and asked, he had never heard anyone talk about this statement.
"The emperor is called, but the corpse abandonment Taoist is self-proclaimed, and he is laughed at by the great supernatural powers at that time, and it is only circulated in the corpse abandonment sect, and outsiders rarely know about it. β
Fairy Xinglan paused, and continued: "It is said that when the Corpse Abandonment Dao was at the peak of the Corpse Abandonment Sect, there were few opponents in the world, and somewhere, he found a pair of crown robes handed down from the ancient times.
"This crown robe is naturally not an ordinary color, it is rumored to be owned by a certain Holy Emperor in the primeval times, with unfathomable power, and it has also fascinated the mind of the corpse abandonment Taoist. β
"Left by the Holy Emperor?!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fan was finally moved, and when he looked at the face of the thunder prince and the crown of the robe worn by the ape, he no longer looked at him with ridicule, but for the first time, he became solemn.
It's a pity that the person who carved this crown costume doesn't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, although it is carved solemnly and luxuriously, which makes people look at it in awe, but they are not good at details, and there is no clue to be seen.
"Yes, it is rumored to be so!"
Fairy Xinglan said in a deep voice: "This crown robe is said to embody the power left by the previous owner, and after the first acquisition, the corpse forsaken Daoist defeated a long-cherished enemy with it, shocking the world. β
"However, since then, the Corpse Abandonment Daoist has also had a problem, and since then he has left the Corpse Abandonment Sect, and has never appeared in the Immortal Cultivation Realm again, which is also the opportunity for the Corpse Abandonment Sect to turn from extreme prosperity to decline. It was estimated at the time that it was also related to this costume. β
The voice of the Xinglan Fairy entered his ears, Zhang Fan nodded in agreement on the surface, but secretly disagreed.
In the primeval times, with the emperor as the name, the person who made this king's costume was not only the ancient holy emperor, where this powerful costume came from is still to be discussed!
However, this point does not need to be explained.
"Brother Donghua Dao, do you see that they abandoned the sect to make this shrine and confuse mortals, what is their intention?"
Fairy Xinglan frowned and said in confusion.
Zhang Fan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Zhang doesn't know this. However, the cultivation method of the Corpse Abandonment Sect is very different from that of the current immortal cultivators, and it is not known what magical powers they may have to absorb the spiritual power of ordinary people. β
The world of cultivating immortals is boundless, and there are hundreds of thousands of years of history, how many mysteries are hidden in the dust, even if you have a lot of knowledge, how can you know everything?
"It's getting interesting. β
Zhang Fan smiled slightly, greeted the Xinglan Fairy, and strolled away.
Destroying this shrine was just a pointless thing, they naturally wouldn't do it, and after a few dodges, they disappeared into the dense forest.
It's not far from Hongyunpo here, but it's not good to fly straight away with a big grin, and scare the snakes.
Since there is a strong person there who can make the drunken Dao person, whose cultivation is hidden above the two of them, and he can't even spread the news, it is naturally worth letting them be careful.
After walking for only half a time, Zhang Fan and Fairy Xinglan suddenly stopped and looked back.
There, dozens of feet away, the sound of "sparse uproar" sounded, as if a person had cut through thorns and thorns and came quickly.
After a while, a sturdy young man came out of the dense forest, saw Zhang Fan and the two waiting here, was not surprised, took three steps and made two steps, came to them, "bang", knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Please Immortal Master help, Immortal Master help!"
With such a mortal as him, Zhang Fan and Fairy Xinglan naturally noticed that something was wrong at the first time, but they didn't say anything about it, and they didn't meet him until they got here.
This young man, don't look at the sturdy looks, between his eyebrows, he is still childish, no matter how he looks at it, he is not more than eighteen years old, when he looks up at Zhang Fan and them, his face is full of earnestness, and his voice is as straight as crying blood.
"What do you have to do, why don't you tell me about it?"
Zhang Fan smiled slightly and said.
In the case that all mortals are afraid of it, there must be a reason why this person can be determined to keep up, and ten out of ten are inseparable from the corpse abandonment sect, he is naturally happy to hear it.
"Please save Shanshan, she is my fiancΓ©e, she was taken captive by the masters of the Holy Sect before, and the elders in the village all said that she was evil to the Holy Sect, but Shanshan has never been out of the village in her life, how can she offend the masters ......of the Holy Sect?
In the middle of the young man's speech, Zhang Fan suddenly interjected: "Do you know where she was taken captive?"
"Know, know~"
As if he saw hope, the young man hurriedly said:
"Hongyunpo! It's Hongyunpo!"
