Chapter 309 Xuanhuo Palace
Upon hearing Zhang Yunchen's inquiry, Qingmu and Soul Eater both nodded slightly.
Zhang Yunchen's expression gradually became serious, and he thought for a moment and said, "I didn't expect that what she said was true. Did you two fight against Xuan Ying?"
Qingmu said: "Yes, it was not just the two of us. Kongwu Ballu from Kasyapa Temple and Chunyangzi from Longhushan Tianshi Dao were also present. The four of us did not gain the upper hand with our combined efforts. Thanks to Yun Yazi The old guy suddenly appeared, otherwise, no one would be able to escape."
As soon as he said this, Zhang Yunchen's expression suddenly changed. It seemed that hearing the news about Yun Yazi shocked him more than hearing the news about Su Nu Xuan Ying.
He asked in surprise: "Who?"
The soul-eating old demon said: "Brother Zhang, you heard it right, the unparalleled swordsman Yun Yazi, this old guy is still alive! His Taoism is extremely high, and the four of us can barely resist Xuan Ying's offensive. Yun Yazi actually relied on an unparalleled sword to fight Xuan Ying in an indistinguishable manner. Let's go to the Xuanhuo Altar to see that person first."
Zhang Yunchen did not ask any more questions, but glanced at Tian Wen, who had been standing silently behind Ancestor Qingmu.
Patriarch Qingmu understood and said: "This is my disciple Tianwen, one of my own."
Zhang Yunchen showed a smile, looked at Tianwen for a few times, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Tianwen's nephew, Qingmu. I have long heard that this disciple of yours is extraordinary and one of the six monsters. You have hidden it deeply enough." , it took so many years to bring her out to meet people.”
The proudest thing in Patriarch Qingmu's life was to accept Tian Wen as his disciple. When he saw Zhang Yunchen praising his disciple, he laughed and said: "Brother Yunchen is too complimentary. After the bad disciple participates in the Duantian Cliff fight, I plan to let him When she comes to the temple, you have to take good care of her."
There is no personal grudge between the Five Elements Banner and the loose cultivators of the Demon Sect. It is not like the fierce secret war between the Demon Sect and the Ghost Sect in order to annex each other.
Ancestor Qingmu is a member of the Five Elements Banner, and Old Demon Soul Eater is a member of the Demon Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect, but this does not affect their friendship that has lasted for hundreds of years.
Ancestor Qingmu pulled Tian Wen forward. Tian Wen condensed the flame mudra with his hands, bent down and saluted, and said: "Tian Wen, a disciple of the Holy Cult, joins the flag-raising ceremony."
Zhang Yunchen squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, when you come to the temple in the future, just join my Houtu Banner. I'm old and I have to look for a successor. Those incompetent disciples under my disciples are all useless."
The Qingmu Ancestor smiled and scolded: "Don't try to trick my disciple. I am affiliated with the Qingmu Banner. As early as five years ago, the master of the Qingmu Banner came to find me. From now on, I will still hang out in the Qingmu Banner and guard the Xuanhuo Altar. ”
Zhang Yunchen smiled again and said nothing more.
He knew that once Tianwen reached the realm of Lingji, she would definitely become an elder and worship her. Since her master, Patriarch Qingmu, was from the Qingmu Banner, she would naturally join the Qingmu Banner. The future leader of the Qingmu Banner should be Tianwen. The invitation to her to join Houtu Banner just now was just a formality.
Tianwen, as the close disciple of Ancestor Qingmu, can naturally be trusted. Zhang Yunchen no longer tabooed anything and said: "Since you want to see her, then come with me. Su Nu Xuan Ying is indeed very important, so you still have to ask Just be clear.”
Tianwen was suspicious.
Who does the mentor want to meet?
Who revealed the news to his mentor, Su Nu Xuan Ying, that he was not dead yet?
Patriarch Qingmu walked a few steps and saw Tianwen still standing at the door of Xuanhuo Palace, and said: "Tianwen, you come too, your Taoism is already extremely high now, and it is your responsibility to protect the temple in the future. Now you should understand Something about the temple.”
Tian Wen responded and took steps to follow.
A group of four people walked into the huge Xuanhuo Palace. The interior was very empty, more than enough to accommodate a thousand people.
Just like the outside, inside the Xuanhuo Palace, there are also twenty-five thick stone pillars supporting the dome. Facing the west side of the Xuanhuo Palace gate, two huge stone statues ten feet high stand.
The stone statue in the south is a stone statue of a woman, graceful and luxurious, with a kind smile on her face that can save all sentient beings.
The stone statue to the north is a stone statue of a man, with angry eyes, ferocious and terrifying, and holding a giant ax in his hand, which is extremely powerful.
These two huge stone statues are the Holy Mother of the Netherworld and the Kaitian Demon God worshiped by the disciples of the Demon Sect day and night.
According to legend, the Demon God split the chaos of heaven and earth, and the Nether Virgin Mother nurtured thousands of creatures.
At this point, it is very similar to Pangu and Nuwa in Chinese culture.
The four of them walked into the spacious Xuanhuo Hall and bowed respectfully to the two stone statues. Then Zhang Yunchen did not know what mechanism was triggered. The fiercely burning flame in the center of the Xuanhuo Hall suddenly changed from red flames to red flames. The blue flame.
At the same time, a crack slowly appeared on the floor of the hall between the flames and the stone statues of the Two Saints, revealing a winding downward passage.
No one was surprised, not even Miss Tianwen who entered the Xuanhuo Hall for the first time.
All disciples of the Demon Cult know that there is a Xuan Fire Altar under the Xuan Fire Palace, which is the most important place in the Holy Cult.
This passage that appeared in the main hall should lead to the Xuanhuo Altar.
Zhang Yunchen was the first to walk into the crack passage, followed closely by Soul Eater and Qingmu. Tian Wen followed at the end of the three because he was the lowest in seniority.
The passage is very spacious, and the stairs that wind down are all made of solid stones. Every once in a while, a lamp will appear on the stone wall. There is no kerosene in the lamp, but the flame is extremely strong.
After walking down for about a hundred feet, the stone steps disappeared, but three passages appeared, extending in three different directions.
This made Tianwen a little strange.
She only knew that there was a Xuanhuo Altar under the Xuanhuo Temple, but she didn't know that there were three forks below.
Everyone walked silently to a passage on the left, which was almost entirely man-made underground tunnels. After walking less than thirty feet, six identical passages appeared in front of everyone.
Tianwen exclaimed in surprise.
The Qingmu Patriarch in front smiled and said, "The area below the temple is the most important place for our Holy Church. Almost all the secrets are here. So thousands of years ago, when the leader Yue Shiyin was alive, he spent hundreds of years to build a formation maze below to prevent those people from the righteous path from attacking the temple. If you don't know the path of the maze, no matter how high your cultivation is, you will be trapped in the maze forever."
Tianwen nodded. It was not until this moment that she really came into contact with some of the core secrets of the Holy Church.
As expected, as my mentor said, the size of this underground maze was extraordinary. From three entrances and exits, it quickly became six forks, then eighteen, and finally thirty-six.
Each fork in the road is intricately connected. If you take the wrong one, you are likely to get lost.
Moreover, this maze is filled with many illusion arrays, maze arrays, and killing arrays. Once you are trapped in it, even a great immortal will have no way to escape.
