Chapter 672: Dao Guardian Clan
After walking all the way, soon, a group of tombs appeared in front of Ye Zhong's eyes.
These tombs have long been overgrown with weeds, and even the tombstones have been covered up, and the true face is completely invisible. Some weeds are even several feet high, which makes people have to marvel at the rich aura of heaven and earth in this area. If Ye Zhong's predictions are correct, the reason why Donghuang is a holy place for cultivation and the conditions in the southern region are so much worse than those in the northern and central regions is because the strange terrain of Shenxu has gathered too much aura of heaven and earth .
Ye Zhong walked among the tombs, and found that many tombs were completely out of shape. The coffins inside had all been reduced to dust, leaving only a dark corpse lingering in the area.
However, after walking for a while, I found some relatively huge mausoleums. The mausoleums are made of bluestone, so they are not decayed. Even after many years have passed, they are still preserved to this day.
"boom--"
Suddenly, the door of a tomb opened wide, and pieces of stone coffins inside were pushed away. Corpses covered in white feathers stood up, with empty eyes, and rushed out quickly.
"boom--"
Ye Zhong waved his hand, and patches of thunder roared out. This is the long right thunder method, and Ye Zhong hadn't used it for a long time. But to deal with these corpses, Lei Fa is the most effective.
But in an instant, all the feathered corpses were suppressed and turned into ashes.
But looking at this scene, Ye Zhong frowned slightly, because these feathered corpses were almost exactly the same as those seen in the first tomb of the fairy burial place that day, and it can even be inferred that these feathered corpses should come from the same A certain race, otherwise, would not be so similar after the dead.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Zhong searched through the huge mausoleum's underground palace, and found some ancient murals, as well as some written records, but vaguely grasped the truth of the words.
I don't know how many years ago, the race that lived here came from a big clan named Guardian.
According to the descriptions on these ancient murals, the Daoist Clan is extremely large, and those gathered here are just a branch. And the clansmen of this branch, back then, escorted something that descended from the sky to the God Market. Originally, according to the plan, they should return after escorting such things. But for some unknown reason, they were unable to leave the area of Shenxu, and later this branch was trapped and died in this area.
"Guardian!"
Ye Zhong pondered for a long time, daring to use these two characters as a family name, it is enough to show that this family is special, and even this family itself involves some ancient mysteries.
"Xiao Lun, have you ever heard of this family?" Ye Chong thought about it, and then spoke.
"No, but since this family is from beyond the sky, most of them are not from this world, and their origins are even more unpredictable... However, I see that most of their descendants lived in the area of Shenxu in the nearby tombs. They have been working for a long time, and they are constantly looking for ways to get out of trouble, but it is a pity that they failed in the end and were lost in the dust of history." Xiaolun sighed.
Ye Qian nodded. Judging from the found tombstones, the people buried in this mausoleum belonged to the royal family of the clan, and they should have some special bloodline. Otherwise, it would not be possible that all the royal family members of this family would be turned into feathered corpses, while the ordinary people would only be left with ashes.
After leaving this large mausoleum, Ye Zhong soon came to a big city. But it is a pity that this big city has been completely decayed, and there are remnants of rocks and walls everywhere. Ye Zhong spent several days searching for this place, but he found many abandoned magic materials, but most of these things were scrapped. Can't even look at the wheel.
But in the process, Ye Zhong also obtained some ancient maps and some records. Apparently, this branch of the Taoist clan spent dozens of generations exploring the Shenxu and wanted to leave this place. But in the end it failed.
However, this part of the effort was not in vain. At least Ye Zhong found a safer path after matching these things with the ancient scrolls in his hand.
As for the terrifying areas where the Daoist family spoke, Ye Zhong deliberately avoided them. Although he didn't know what was in those areas, but the Daoist family was strong and strong, and they were very afraid of those areas. Ye Zhong was alone, and he had absolutely no interest in exploring it.
In addition, Ye Zhong also saw some other records in some important places. It seems that some of the Dao protectors back then believed that there should be real immortals in the depths of the God Ruins.
But what this true fairy is like, they have never figured it out. However, there are several clear records in the clan, remembering the experience of seeing the real immortal.
Although those so-called sightings were all glimpses, the time span was very long, and the longest one even reached five hundred years. However, judging from the description in the records, the true immortals seen by the Taoist clan should be the same one.
According to those vague records, after Ye Zhong deduced for a long time, he restored the face of the real fairy that the Dao protectors had seen.
The real fairy should be a woman, with five-colored sacred stones hanging above her head, walking among the clouds and mountains, with a sad face, as if she was looking for something.
The result of this deduction made Ye Zhong slightly taken aback, and then a look of disbelief appeared on his face: "Could it be Emperor Wa of Butian Sect?"
This can be said to be an earth-shattering discovery, although it has been recorded in Butian Sect that Emperor Wa entered the Shenxu several times. But the era in which Emperor Wa and Emperor Qing lived must have been at least a million years ago. According to Ye Zhong's deduction, this clan of guardians should have appeared between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago.
The time span between the two is too great, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to meet each other.
Because according to the records, although Emperor Wa had the ability to mend the sky, he also had the elixir left by Emperor Qing to continue his life. But after all, she only lived for less than 20,000 years, although her life and death are a mystery. But even in Butian Sect, they still think she has fallen.
"Is there really no connection between Emperor Wa and the Taoist clan?" Ye Zhong frowned and thought a lot, but it has been so many years, how could he deduce a result? Even if it is deduced, what is the use in his current situation?
After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Zhong finally decided that while continuing to go deep into the Shenxu, he would go to the place where the Daoist clan had seen the real immortal many times. Because he felt that, based on the legends of Emperor Qing and Emperor Wa back then, since these two characters both appeared in the depths of the Shenxu, there was absolutely no chance that it was a coincidence, most likely Emperor Wa came for Qing Emperor.
Then Ye Zhong started on the road cautiously, and after walking for half a month, he came to a waterfall. It's just that countless years have passed, and the waterfall has dried up, but looking up from the bottom of the waterfall, you can still see the top of the waterfall shrouded in clouds and mist, just like a fairyland.
The descendants of the Taoist clan once saw the so-called real immortal figure here, sighing faintly at the eternal void, with a suspected endless sadness on his face, when he appeared, the world was sad. This is an extremely terrifying existence, but with just a soft sigh, it will cause changes in the world, making mysterious groups such as the Taoist clan think that it is a true immortal.
"This place is not quite right... It seems that there has been a ray of aura that belongs to the emperor here." Xiao Lun emerged, his words became very dignified, and he spoke seriously.
"The breath of the Emperor of Heaven? Could it be that the Qing Emperor once left something here? Or, in his later years, the Emperor Wa also became an emperor?" Ye Chong thought and spoke softly.
"What is there to calculate, this ray of Heavenly Emperor Qi has appeared here before, obviously there will be no great horror, just go up and take a look. Only those wastes of the Taoist protectors will think that they have encountered a real fairy, The record is so mysterious, I didn't come to figure it out." Xiao Lun was very disdainful, and motioned Ye Zhong to come forward.
Ye focused his head, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly moved the ground into an inch, stepping through the air step by step, thinking of going to the top of the dry waterfall.
"That is……"
The moment he reached the top of the waterfall, Ye Zhong suddenly trembled and his expression became very strange.
Because, at the top of the waterfall at this moment, you can see a bamboo stick as thin as a cicada's wing. If you look closely, you can see a line of faint handwriting: "The world of mortals is like a dream, and the fairyland may meet again."
Ten words, two sentences, obviously written by a man, with a kind of vicissitudes and grandeur, but with a kind of helplessness and sadness.
This bamboo stick was nailed to a stone wall with an emerald green hairpin. I don't know how many years have passed, and it is still swaying slightly between the sky and the earth.
In addition, I saw a slender palm print on the top of the waterfall. It seemed that someone shot with anger and wanted to destroy the stone wall, but at the most critical moment, he was reluctant to give up, and he shifted his palm and fell on the waterfall. On the top of the mountain, a shallow handprint was left, but this handprint reversed the river, and for countless thousands of years, no one could approach it.
"That bamboo stick is Qingdi's handwriting." After staring at the front for a while, Ye Zhong sighed slightly, with a strange expression on his face. He had the picture scroll left by Emperor Qing in his hand, so he could naturally recognize that this line of writing belonged to Emperor Qing.
And the identity of the person who made the move with anger that day is almost ready to be revealed.
Ye Zhong could almost restore the scene of that day. A peerless woman visited this place. When she saw that bamboo stick, she felt so tender. Then she struck out angrily, trying to destroy everything. But at the critical moment, she regretted that she stopped, and couldn't bear to destroy it, leaving only an eternal sigh.
"Did Emperor Qing really abandon Emperor Wa all the time?" Xiao Lun said with a very obedient tone. This is one of the biggest gossips in the world. For so many years, the four wastelands have been talking about it.
"Here, don't talk nonsense." Ye Zhong shook his head with a solemn expression.
