Chapter 1860 Ancient City

...

sanctuary.

It was rare for Tao Ze to leave the back mountain of Dianjiao Peak, and put on the solemn red Taoist robe.

He looked up at the tall and handsome green mountain in front of him.

Among the peaks of the sanctuary, this mountain is definitely the tallest and largest.

For mountains of this scale, apart from the undoubted core Xiange Mountain, there are only twelve peaks where the school palaces are located.

An inner sect disciple wearing a blue taoist robe flew over and stopped Tao Ze.

This is a female student, with a moving figure and a pretty face.

On her chest, there is a crescent moon symbol.

"I don't know why Tao Jiaoxi suddenly came to my Moon Academy?" The disciple gave a shallow salute and asked earnestly.

"Visit Taoist Qingxia, please ask for instructions." Tao Ze returned the courtesy.

"Master is retreating and sees no guests." The disciple said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Just say I was looking for her." Tao Ze said.

A trace of doubt flashed in the female disciple's eyes.

Teachers have the ability to fly freely between the peaks. If Tao Ze is really familiar with Taoist Qingxia, then naturally there is no need to ask for instructions so politely, and he can go directly to find them.

If you need to report and ask for instructions, it means that the two do not have a deep friendship.

Moreover, she has been in the Moon Academy for nearly a hundred years, and she is familiar with her master who has a gentle temperament and likes to be secluded.

This Tao Ze also lived in seclusion in the Dianjiao Peak all year round, and he was notoriously low-key and unpopular in the temple.

Then why would he allow Master to go out to meet him?

"It's troublesome," Tao Ze saw the female disciple's hesitation, flipped his hands and took out a top-quality elixir, quietly threw it to the latter, and saluted solemnly.

"That's fine, but if the master doesn't see me, I have nothing to do." The female disciple took a look at the quality of the elixir, calmly put her under her hands, and nodded.

"Troublesome!" Tao Ze smiled politely again.

...

After a while, the female disciple finally came to a place with a beautiful environment among the mountain peaks.

There is a small lake in front of it, and behind the small lake is a forest, in which you can vaguely see several indirect houses.

"Master, Tao Ze from the Dianjiao Peak will meet you at the foot of the mountain." The female disciple stopped in front of the lake and saluted respectfully.

"Tao Ze from Dianjiao Peak?!" A woman's voice suddenly sounded, it sounded gentle and serene, making one subconsciously feel at ease.

"Yes," the female disciple lowered her head, concealing the surprise and astonishment on her face.

After cultivating in the Moon Academy for a hundred years, this was the first time she saw some emotional fluctuations from her master, which was extremely rare.

"Please come!" the female voice said again.

A moment later, under the leadership of this female disciple, Tao Ze appeared here.

"You go back first." The voice came from the forest.

The female disciple knew that she was talking to herself, and after respectfully saluting, she left full of doubts and curiosity.

"You come in," the voice said to Tao Ze.

Tao Ze took a deep breath, and while looking at the surrounding scene with a somewhat complicated expression, he walked around the small lake, entered the woods, and came to the front of the house.

A graceful figure in a white veil stood at the door, looking at Tao Ze seriously.

She doesn't look very old, her face looks like a peach blossom, her skin is as pink and greasy as snow, and her skin is as smooth as ice, but her beautiful eyes are full of vicissitudes.

"I've seen Senior Qingxia!" Tao Ze respectfully saluted the junior.

"It's been three hundred years, and you finally remembered to visit me." Taoist Qingxia nodded, and said flatly, "Although you didn't say it clearly, you must actually hate me in your heart."

Tao Ze showed a wry smile, but did not speak.

"I advised countless times back then that Zuo Qiuyi would only kill himself in the end, but it's a pity that he is still frantically looking for the secret of the so-called luck."

"Even if he finds it, what can he do?"

"He insisted on going his own way, and then who knew he would bring you and Lu Wenbin in again. How talented you were back then, but now you have been implicated like this!" Taoist Qingxia shook her head regretfully.

"You hate me for being indifferent and ruthless back then, and completely severed ties with Zuo Qiuyi!" Then, she regained her composure and continued seriously.

"From now on, your choice seems to be right," Tao Ze said slowly.

"Actually, I've been hating myself too," Taoist Qingxia shook his head lightly, and said, "I often think that if I keep going, I might be able to save him successfully...Of course, it's pointless to say these things now. .”

"I came to you today because it's actually related to this matter!" Tao Ze said.

"I guessed something," Taoist Qingxia said.

"Senior Brother Lu discovered the place where Zuoqiu's teacher fell that year. It was on Cuizhu Island. He and Ye Tian took the opportunity of the inner disciples to go to find it. Ye Tian was..."

"I know that little deacon!" Taoist Qingxia stopped Tao Ze from trying to explain Ye Tian's words for himself.

"In short, the previous situation was like this." Tao Ze said with a solemn expression: "There was a gentleman named Han Muyun on Peiyuan Peak, he and Ye Tian had a bet on the entrance examination. Come to my Dianjiao Peak to be a deacon."

"Because of him, I noticed that they seemed to be planning to kill Ye Tian on Cuizhu Island!"

"In this case, Senior Brother Lu may be in danger as well."

"I want you to come out of the mountain and go to Cuizhu Island to save them!" Tao Ze bowed deeply to Taoist Qingxia.

...

...

Cuizhu Island.

At the bottom of the green lake, Huangquan is sealed.

After being pulled into the vortex by the red mist spreading from the jade ring, Ye Tian felt as if he had penetrated a barrier.

Behind the vortex is a strange space.

The environment is gloomy, filled with countless chaotic air currents.

Of course, the most common one is the so-called magic energy.

The magic energy on Cuizhu Island escapes from here, and its scale and quantity are of course extremely abundant.

But Ye Tian didn't feel any harm from this devilish energy at the beginning, although the concentration has increased greatly now, it doesn't hurt too much.

"How are you?" Ye Tian looked at Lu Wenbin beside him.

"It's okay," the latter nodded, indicating that there was nothing wrong with him.

The two stepped forward, carefully looking at the surrounding environment.

Although this devilish energy doesn't seem to do any real harm to people, it has a characteristic that Ye Tian discovered before.

That is the suppression of the soul and consciousness.

Here the concentration increases greatly, and the influence on the consciousness and soul of the monks naturally also increases.

At the same time, the diffuse black mist also greatly damaged the vision, making it impossible to see the surrounding situation clearly.

"The ability to look and feel here is too severely weakened," Ye Tian was affected, let alone Lu Wenbin, shaking his head and sighed.

Ye Tian pondered for a moment and closed his eyes.

After a while, gently opened it.

A faint aura of light filled Ye Tian's eye sockets, greatly increasing his vision.

At the same time, Ye Tian's powerful divine soul at the peak of the real fairy stretched out without reservation!

There is no unknown danger in this Huangquan seal, and Lu Wenbin beside him can also believe that Ye Tian no longer hides.

Lu Wenbin next to him did indeed instantly feel an incomparably powerful aura in Ye Tian's body beside him suddenly awakened, as if one were looking up from a mountain!

Even Taoist Luo Liu, who had used all his strength just now, was far inferior to the current aura!

Taoist Luo Liu is a mid-stage true immortal!

So what is Ye Tian's strength?

Lu Wenbin was a little afraid to think about it.

He looked at Ye Tian in surprise, dumbfounded.

He wanted to ask something, but he felt too confused and didn't know what to ask.

Ye Tian ignored the ups and downs of Lu Wenbin who was next to him, and now was not the time to talk about these things, and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

With the combination of enhanced eyesight and fully unfolded soul, all the clues in the surrounding area fell into Ye Tian's eyes.

Ye Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he let out a light snort.

Here, it turned out to be a city!

At this time, the two of them were obviously standing in front of a city gate. Above the city gate, there was a plaque with the words Nanyun City written on it.

After crossing the city gate, you can see a straight street with neatly lined houses and shops all the way to the end of your line of sight.

"South Cloud City?" Ye Tian murmured softly, thinking about the books he had read about the world of Jiuzhou, looking for the name.

Soon, he remembered.

This name is related to Chaoshanhai thousands of years ago!

According to historical records, Zhao Shanhai and the others saw that Shenzong had no way and people were dying, and they made a great wish to save the common people in their hearts. They left Xiange Academy and walked around the world, looking for a way to change everything.

And Chao Shanhai and his companions lived in a place called Nanyun City when they just left Xiange Academy.

Later, as they continued to grow stronger, they attracted the attention of Shenzong, who sent people to directly destroy Nanyun City, and fled towards Shanhai and others.

Moreover, Nanyun City is obviously on the mainland not far from Xiange Academy, so how could it appear on Cuizhu Island, which is thousands of miles away from the mainland and hangs in the sea alone.

Most likely, it should just be the same name.

Ye Tian shook his head, and walked into Nanyun City with Lu Wenbin.

The surroundings were silent, the streets were full of quiet and corrupt debris, some furniture and objects were scattered on the road, it seemed that some chaos had occurred in the city before.

Going further in, Ye Tian began to see some human bones lying here and there.

There was no sign of a struggle.

It should have been a simple killing.

"Do you know this place?" Ye Tian asked aloud.

Although Lu Wenbin's eyesight and soul were suppressed, it was impossible for him not to be able to see through these situations that were close at hand.

"No, the furnishings and architectural style are a little strange." After a while, Lu Wenbin suppressed the surprise and speculation about Ye Tian's strength in his heart, and focused on the current situation, concentrating on the situation. Looking at the surrounding situation, he said.

The two continued to move forward, but as they watched, the doubts and incomprehension on Lu Wenbin's face gradually became more intense.

"Why do these things look so old?" Speaking of this, Lu Wenbin suddenly said: "I thought, why do they look so strange? These are some things that the architectural style and people's living habits would use when Shenzong was there ten thousand years ago. !"

"This city is already 10,000 years ago!?" Ye Tian frowned slightly.

"Obviously!" Lu Wenbin pointed seriously at a collapsed stone pagoda in the middle of the street not far away.

The stone tower was about one foot high, octagonal in shape, and carved with runes of unknown meaning all around.

"This is the era when Shenzong lived. People on Jiuzhou specially used it to worship and enshrine things in temples." Lu Wenbin said: "Later, as Shenzong was destroyed by Chaoshanhai, this kind of thing was destroyed and it was forbidden to appear in the temple. Nine continents are in the world."

"So, this Nanyun City should have a history of at least 10,000 years..."

The two continued to move forward, and the number of bones began to gradually increase.

At the same time, traces of battles began to appear.

It's no longer just one-sided killing.

Ye Tian saw a white bone holding an iron sword in his hand, piercing deeply into another person's chest.

But the man holding the sword was empty above his neck, without a head.

Obviously, it should be during the battle that the sword bearer had just killed his opponent before being beheaded by others.

The iron sword was well preserved, and Ye Tian picked it up smoothly.

Lu Wenbin's eyes fell on the sword, and his pupils shrank.

"This is the holy hall's Dao sword!?" Lu Wenbin said in a deep voice.

Ye Tian has also seen the kind of dao sword that the disciples of the temple have. Although it is somewhat similar, it is still different from the one in front of him in some places.

"No," Lu Wenbin saw the doubt in Ye Tian's eyes, and explained: "To be precise, this is the Dao sword equipped by the disciples of Xiange Academy, so there are indeed some differences in some places."

Although this sword looks superficial, it has been unable to be used in practice after thousands of years passed. After Ye Tian looked at it, he threw it away.

Continuing to look at other places, there are several such swords appearing.

The battles that once took place in this city were obviously extremely tragic, and many people died together.

Half an hour later, the two arrived in the city.

In the center of the city is a large palace, and there are the most bones here, almost covering the ground, densely surrounding the palace.

In front of the gate of the palace, the bones had already been piled up high, blocking the gate.

Seeing this appearance, Ye Tian couldn't help but see a scene in front of his eyes.

...

In the ancient city, a fierce battle is taking place. Among the defenders, there seem to be some disciples of the Xiange Academy, and of course there are many people with other identities. They are fighting side by side to resist the enemy.

But their enemies were very powerful, they retreated steadily, and finally retreated to the very center of the city.

Finally no retreat!

But they should not give up, but fought around the palace to the last moment, until the last person was killed.

When all the defenders of the city were killed, the slaughter went to the ordinary people in Nanyun City who had no room to resist.

In panic and panic, they were hacked to death one by one like harvesting wheat.

...

Ye Tian gently separated the accumulated bones and made a way, and pushed open the gate of the palace.

"Crackle—"

Between the opening and closing of the door, there was a grinding sound of tooth acid, and a decayed and dilapidated atmosphere and smoke rushed towards the face.

Walking into this hall, there are flat and smooth stone slabs under your feet, with an open space in the middle, and the four walls are divided into obvious large grids, and in those grids are murals one by one.

Surrounding the main hall, there are a total of twenty-eight murals!

Covered with thick dust, it is difficult to see what is painted.

Ye Tian waved his hand lightly, and a gust of wind blew past, leisurely turning around in the hall, blowing all the dust out along the open door.
