Chapter 776: Southern Wasteland Road
In pursuit of the King Realm of the Sixth Shrine, since ancient times, there is only one legend that is successful, and it is a bit illusory.
However, since Ye Zhong had already made up his mind, he no longer stayed in the gate of Butian Sect, but found Lingyue and Ye Rou and explained his whereabouts.
The two of them did not hinder Ye Zhong's choice. After all, Ye Zhong was on the cusp of the crisis, and it would be a good thing to leave Donghuang for a while, and go to the outside world for a while. What's more, they also support Ye Zhongzhong's path. After all, the current world is a big world, and no genius can avoid competing for supremacy in this big world.
Only a few senior members of Butian Sect, including Elder Mo Min, knew about this matter, and they were very speechless about it. Because walking on the road of the strongest king is already very scary for them, but Ye Zhong actually wants to pursue the king of the sixth palace, which makes them speechless.
But in the end, the top management of Butian Sect did not stop Ye Zhong's actions, but directly activated a large teleportation array for Ye Zhong, sending him to the Southern Wilderness.
In the southern wilderness, the earth is red, and the entire sky seems to be burning with clouds. The aura of this world is full of violent colors. If you breathe carefully, the tip of your nose seems to smell like fire.
Ye Zhong came to the Southern Wilderness, and after finding out the way through tracing, he headed all the way to the place where the ancient family of the King of the Sixth Shrine appeared in the legend.
This area is very barren and ancient, and you can occasionally see some villages, but basically only some mortals live there, and there are no warriors.
After half a month of haunting that vast area, Ye Zhong sighed a little. Although he knows how difficult it is to find a family tens of thousands of years ago, this family may have migrated or destroyed under the years, how difficult is it to find it? However, wandering around like a headless chicken for half a month left Ye Zhong speechless.
In the end, Ye Zhong could no longer search at all, but searched randomly in this southern wasteland, looking for clues and consolidating his cultivation.
"The world asks me a lot, what is You Meng an immortal? Fighting the sky and the sea with one hand, calming the dust in a chaotic world..."
On this day, Ye Zhong traveled all the way south and came to a mountain range. This mountain range is not beautiful at all, and it is not enough to look at compared with the holy land of cultivation in Donghuang. However, there are mountains, rivers and rivers here, streams in the mountains, Taoist temples on the mountainsides, and ancient trees on the top of the mountains. It seems that there is a feeling of returning to nature.
Ye Chong walked with his hands behind his back, watching a woodcutter in the distance. He sang loudly while chopping wood with one hand, his movements had a wonderful charm.
Ye Zhong stood there watching for a long time. After the woodcutter finished chopping the firewood, he stepped forward, cupped his hands and saluted, "Brother, I heard that your singing has a deep artistic conception. Could it be that you are also a martial artist?"
"My little brother, you have misunderstood me. I am just an ordinary woodcutter. I come out at sunrise and rest at sunset. What kind of person is in the martial arts? I just sang, but I just listened to the chanting of a Taoist priest in the mountain. It's just memorized... In our mountain village, many people can sing this song." The woodcutter said honestly.
Ye Zhong was very surprised, and said, "I don't know where is the master who left this song?"
"No, have you seen it? There is an ancient Taoist temple in the mountains. It is said that it has existed for tens of thousands of years. There lives an old Taoist priest who often comes out to help the world, but it is rare in recent years." The husband pointed to the deep mountain road behind him.
Ye Zhong's heart moved slightly. After a while, he took out some worldly gold and silver objects, thanked the woodcutter, and asked him to draw a simple map. Then he found a simple map and walked along the ancient mountain road. Half a day later, he finally turned over a few mountains, and he could vaguely see a small Taoist temple halfway up the mountain in front of him.
Although the mountain range where the Taoist temple is located is extremely high and there are streams flowing, it is not a fairyland, not a suitable place for cultivation.
"Hey, little brother, are you also here to find Xianyuan?" Several hunters came out by the roadside, and when they saw Ye Zhong, they all showed expressions of surprise.
"Looking for Immortal Fate? What does this mean? I also ask a few elder brothers for advice." Ye Zhong stepped forward to ask for advice.
Several hunters looked at each other, and after a while, one of them said: "You little brother is not arrogant, so what if we tell you? Over the years, I have occasionally seen some high-ranking warriors come here and say What kind of fairy fate is to be found, and we are still constantly searching among us mortals. According to them, there should be a real fairy who lived in seclusion here many years ago, and they came to look for him."
"A real immortal?" Ye Zhong frowned. If there were immortals in the world, how could they appear here? Unless there are special reasons.
"It is indeed a real fairy. My grandfather heard from his grandfather that there was a Taoist priest in that Taoist temple back then. He lived for an unknown number of years. He was called a land fairy. It's just that since outsiders have often come to visit these years, that old Taoist priest has never appeared again." Another hunter said.
Hearing this, Ye Chong's expression was slightly shocked. Although mortals are not as good as warriors, they can live close to a hundred years. According to Orion's statement, the so-called land god should have existed three to five hundred years ago.
According to their description, most of the so-called land gods are still alive. According to Ye Zhong's calculation, if the old Taoist priest really existed, he might have a lifespan of nearly a thousand years, or even more than a thousand years.
"With a lifespan of a thousand years, it is definitely a saint-level existence. For mortals, it can also be called a god." Ye Keyan nodded and muttered to himself.
"Brother, you came to look for the fairy fate, you should also come to look for the old god, right? We have too many legends about this old god." The two hunters had a good impression of Ye Zhong, and said a lot to him.
According to them, this old fairy has done many good things for the surrounding mountain people. It seems that in many of their ancient legends, this old fairy exists, but it has only disappeared in recent years.
But even so, mountain people like them often go to worship in that ancient Taoist temple, and there are often warriors who come here and stay in that ancient Taoist temple for days and nights, even for several days. moon.
"Thank you two big brothers." Ye Zhong thanked, then went up the mountain alone, and came to the ancient Taoist temple.
At this moment, although he has some guesses that the old god in this Taoist temple may be related to the family he is looking for, but he is not very sure about this, and can only regard this as a clue he was looking for unintentionally. to pursue.
The Taoist temple that appeared in front of Ye Zhong was not big and very dilapidated, but it was obvious that people often went in and out of it, and there was some incense smell above the ground.
In the backyard of the Taoist temple, there is an ancient pine tree that has existed for an unknown number of years. It is hollow inside and people can walk through it.
In some corners, you can still see barren medicine fields. Obviously, someone once planted elixir here, but I don't know how many years it has been barren.
"This Taoist temple has a history of at least ten thousand years, and these medicine fields have been cultivated by people until decades ago." Ye Zhong inspected it carefully, and then his heart shook, and he felt a special feeling. Such a breath.
The ancientness of this Taoist temple completely surpassed his imagination. If the legendary land god lived here all the time, how long would his lifespan be? Could it be thousands of years old? If this is the case, the cultivation base of this old Taoist priest is absolutely terrifying!
At present, Ye Zhong went into the Taoist temple to search carefully, hoping to see other traces, but unfortunately, he found nothing in this Taoist temple. Some ancient Taoist scriptures that have been circulated among mortals have long been discovered. It's broken, obviously, countless people have come here to look for it.
Apart from these old dilapidated Taoist scriptures, there is no other valuable things, not even a sculpture on the arch, but a simple piece of yellow cloth that is about to rot, everything looks miserable Weiwei's.
"Huh--"
Ye Zhong searched carefully, and finally he found a strange place. It was located in a corner of the Taoist courtyard. There was a stone pier. Still rough.
"Could it be that someone has been meditating here for many years, and after a long period of time, a stone pier has been sitting like this?" Ye Zhong secretly clicked his tongue. Is there anything special about it.
It's just that he was surprised in the end, because this is really the most common piece of bluestone. Although it looks miraculous, there is nothing special inside.
Ye Zhong turned and left, wanting to go to other places to find clues, but when he turned around, his heart suddenly trembled, thinking of a question, he turned around again, grasped the lion's head and groped carefully, and finally confirmed his identity guess.
This kind of cyan stone can be said to be very common, but the Emperor of the Southern Wilderness is all red, even the stone is red, and other colors are rarely seen, but this stone is pure cyan, although it is common, it is obviously not A local object in the Southern Wilderness. In other words, it is very likely that there used to be a strong man who came from him and threw a piece of bluestone for meditation to this place, and sat for an unknown number of years.
"It seems right, the land god that appeared here should be related to that ancient family, because according to legend, that ancient family was originally in the Eastern Wilderness, but later moved to the Southern Wilderness because of the turmoil in the Eastern Wilderness. Huang! Leaving such a stone is probably just some plot of the homeland!" Ye Zhong sighed, and at this moment, it was finally confirmed that this Taoist temple had a little relationship with that ancient family.
