The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 183: Ancient Immortal and Immortal Slaughter Palace (Two in One)

South of Baisha City,

Dragon King Temple.

The cool breeze of late autumn blew, and the withered yellow leaves fell all over the ground. The Dragon King Temple, which was rarely visited, looked even more solemn and desolate.

At this moment, a clean area appeared in the messy courtyard, as if an invisible force was spreading around, and the fallen leaves and dust were swirling around and being cleared away.

In the central area, two people, one old and one young, were sitting on two chairs, facing each other. One was old and strong, while the other looked like a crouching tiger or a dragon.

They didn't make any movements, but just sat there, with invisible aura rising continuously, contacting, colliding, and crushing in the void, and shock waves continuously spreading outwards.

The autumn sun shone down on them, giving them a layer of glory but without a trace of warmth.

Chu Zhou raised his head slightly, looked at that face, and said with disgust: "Don't you feel uncomfortable with someone else's face?"

The old man opposite had deep wrinkles on his face, drooping eyelids, and a pair of cloudy eyes, but with indifference: "Actually, it's quite uncomfortable.

However, not everyone can see my true face; once you see it, there is no turning back on some things. "

Chu Zhou laughed: "Then I am even more curious. I want to see if you have three heads and six arms?"

After a pause, he turned cold again and said, "It doesn't matter if you are a big shot. Anyway, you can't leave this yard today."

"The little kid has quite a big mouth!"

The old man also smiled, his smile full of sarcasm: "Since you want to see it, I'll let you see it!"

Having said this, the energy around him suddenly expanded and contracted, and when he appeared again, he had changed his appearance, with an erhu in his hand.

It was played slowly and swayingly, and the music sounded mournful and sad, as if everything it saw was filled with human suffering.

Chu Zhou was stunned by his transformation speed. At such a close distance, with his sharp five senses, he didn't even detect any trace of his disguise.

What is even more incredible is the erhu. How was such a big thing hidden?

However, seeing the old man's unkempt appearance, which looked like a dead tree, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth!

Chu Zhou's expression was hard to describe: "From a 50-60 year old man to a 70-80 year old man, it's really...

I thought you could turn into a beautiful lady and scare me!"

As soon as these words came out, the sad erhu paused for a moment. The old man looked up again and said, "I'm curious too. How did you find me?"

"Is it difficult to find you? If I hadn't been so busy these past few days, I would have come here a long time ago!"

Chu Zhou leaned forward slightly, like a tiger out of a cage, ready to devour someone.

He was not the kind of person who liked to talk nonsense, and since he had come to his door, he was not prepared to let this person leave completely.

So, it really doesn’t matter.

However, the next second, his movements paused!
Because, the old man Erhu said slowly: "I know even if you don't say it, no matter how profound your secret technique is, it is impossible to lock me at such a long distance.

Therefore, it must be the power of a certain magical weapon!"

"You actually know about magic weapons?"

At this moment, Chu Zhou was surprised, but what surprised him even more was yet to come.

The old man Erhu stopped what he was doing, slowly raised his head, and said with a smile: "Your Xuanzhen Temple is what it is today, and the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple is probably just a bonus, otherwise, you wouldn't be so generous.

As for the real secret, isn't it that you have inherited the legacy of a certain ancient immortal?"

Chu Zhou's eyes changed slightly, as if confirming what the old man said. He smiled even more, even with a bit of mockery: "You are so bold, you got the inheritance, and you dare to show off so wantonly?
It means that your Xuanzhen Temple has not really caught the eyes of certain people, otherwise, the people from the Luxian Palace would have come to you long ago."

"Ancient Immortal Heritage? Immortal Slaughter Palace?"

Chu Zhou tilted his head slightly, and suddenly felt that this fight could wait a little longer, and it would be necessary to be more secretive.

His body slowly leaned back, and his momentum that was ready to go slowed down again. He was silent for a moment, pretending to be "frank" and said: "You are right, I have inherited something, and the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple is a part of it.

But what is this ancient immortal inheritance? And why is it related to the Immortal Slaughtering Hall of the three major evil cults of Dayun?"

"You really don't know anything?"

The erhu player raised his head slightly, and looked directly into Chu Zhou's eyes with cloudy eyes, revealing envy, jealousy, and an unspeakable desire:

“The so-called ancient immortals are those immortals who walked the world before the connection between heaven and earth. They have the power to move mountains and fill the sea, and the power to turn the stars.

They planted plants, grazed life, turned wasteland into green fields, and brought vitality to the earth.

They are the ancestors of everything, the origin of life, the great existence that created the world, and our ancestors.

But until one day, they all disappeared, turned into legends, and became what we call ancient immortals.

Of course, their traces were also gradually eroded and buried over a long period of time until they completely disappeared.

Only a few lucky ones, very few lucky ones, can occasionally obtain the remaining inheritance or knowledge of the ancient immortals in remote places, and then embark on an extraordinary path. "

After a pause, he asked again: "Do you know the origin of martial arts?"

Chu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Martial arts, the art of fighting, naturally originated from the conflicts between mortals. After fighting for a long time and gaining experience, martial arts was formed."

"This is just the foolish opinion of a mortal!"

The old man Erhu said: "The original martial arts originated from the mortals' desire for the power of the ancient immortals. They tried to understand the behavior of the ancient immortals and interpret their various powers with their mortal bodies.

Thus, internal strength was created.

But the level of his internal strength was limited, far from reaching the level of ancient immortals, until a lucky person obtained a copy of the ancient immortal's inheritance.

It was really just a superficial inheritance of body training, which led to the development of the 'muscles, flesh, skin and bones' body training martial arts, giving martial arts a chance to take off.

But even if one succeeds in training the marrow, the path to becoming a martial artist is blocked and there is no way forward.

Until one day, a lucky person integrated part of the ancient sword immortal's inheritance into martial arts, cultivated the true meaning of martial arts, and was able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth for his own use. Only then did he break free from the cage, walk out into a new world, and have the martial arts he has today.

As for you, Xuanzhen Temple's secret martial arts can be considered your third chance in martial arts."

At this point, he paused, and when he spoke again, his voice became three points darker: "Compared to martial arts, the path of secret arts is quite difficult.

Over the years, we can’t say there have been no achievements or no development, but we are not so lucky and there is always something missing.”

Chu Zhou's eyes narrowed: "So, you mean that both the secret arts and the martial arts originated from the ancient immortals?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Chu Zhou asked again: "Why did the ancient immortal disappear? What caused the so-called Jedi Tiantong?"

“Why did the ancient immortal disappear?
This is a huge secret, a secret that no one knows, but the senior masters call this secret "Jedi Tiantong"!

The road between heaven and earth is blocked, and heaven and earth are no longer connected, and the ancient immortals no longer exist. "

The Erhu old man said: "As for why we need to open the earth to the sky?
All I can say is, who knows?!"

Chu Zhou asked again: "What about the Luxian Palace? What is the Luxian Palace you mentioned? They seem to hate those who have inherited the ancient immortals?

Moreover, as you said, the Ancient Immortal is such a great being, why do they dare to use the name of "Slaughter Immortal"? "

"You little kid are really perceptive!"

The old erhu player played the erhu in his hand again. The sound was not loud, but long and lingering, sad and mournful, adding a bit of desolate atmosphere.

"Among the three major evil cults in Dayun, the Pure World Red Lotus Society and the Black Moon Sect are both up-and-coming ones. They haven't existed for long enough, at least, not as long as the Killing Immortal Palace!

Because, the group of people who made up the Luxian Palace were, in the beginning, the group of people who were closest to the ancient immortals.

The ancient immortals disappeared very suddenly, very suddenly. The group of people who were close to the ancient immortals and relied on their power to be high and mighty were suddenly knocked down to the dust. For a period of time, they lived a very hard and miserable life, and were humbled to the dust.

But after all, they were the people who were once closest to the ancient immortals, had the most information and possessed the most knowledge. After crossing that hurdle, they quickly stood up.

But at this time, they no longer worshipped the ancient immortals, but were jealous and angry, and wanted to kill the immortals as proof.

So, they formed the oldest organization, an organization that lasted longer than all dynasties, the Luxian Palace.

They take it as their mission to kill immortals. Of course, if the ancient immortals no longer exist, they will target the heirs of the ancient immortals, such as you. "

The old man with the erhu explained it in great detail, letting Chu Zhou know more secrets that exist in this world.

At this time, Chu Zhou's aggressive aura had been reduced a lot, and his murderous intent had faded a little because of the secrets he told.

But he still had some confusions.

"So, which side do you belong to?"

Chu Zhou looked at the old man with the erhu, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "You don't look like a martial arts sect, and your methods are even less like it!
Luxian Palace, your actions do resemble that. You gave me a show of power as soon as we met. However, judging from the tone of your voice, it doesn't seem like that.

Could it be the Mystic Sect? Or the Alien Alliance?

Of course, what I am more curious about is that you are willing to tell me so much, so you must be asking for something, right?

What do you want from me? Or what do you want me to do?

The old man Erhu said softly: "I have to admit that I was reckless before. You killed my spirit beast, and a hundred years of hard work was destroyed. I just wanted to teach you a lesson.

However, after seeing your methods, I feel that a spiritual beast is nothing. You are more valuable than that spiritual beast.

So, I have said so much to you because I want to invite you to join my organization."

"Spiritual beast? When have I ever killed yours..."

Chu Zhou seemed to have remembered something when he was talking, and asked, "Did you raise the viper in the Baisha River? Did you also set up this Dragon King Temple?"

"Yes!"

"What is the kidnapper witch ritual?"

The old man with the erhu said nonchalantly: "He is one of my inferior disciples. He failed to cultivate, so I sent him here to watch over and train spirit beasts, to be a herder boy. Unfortunately, he messed up.

So, he is dead!"

Chu Zhou pursed his lips and asked again: "You still haven't said which faction you belong to?
But don’t tell me that you are a lone wolf, I don’t believe it!”

The old man with the erhu said, "I can't tell you until you are sure to join!"

Chu Zhou sneered: "I don't even know who you are, and you want me to join? Do you think I'm a fool?"

“Our existence is of great importance and cannot be easily leaked to the outside world, so we must not talk about it easily with others.

But you can listen to the benefits we can provide you!"

Chu Zhou became interested and asked, "What are the benefits?"

“The first point is the various secrets, such as the ancient immortal inheritance and the Immortal Slaughtering Palace. For someone like you who has no background, it is possible that you have violated some taboos without knowing it.

Secondly, we can help you conceal your existence, for example, so that the Luxian Palace will not cause you trouble. Please believe me, the Luxian Palace is not as large as the other two evil cults.

But any human being would rather provoke the Red Lotus Society and the Xuan Yue Sect than provoke the Luxian Palace.

We have everything you want. Of course, you have to exchange it for your own merits. Believe me, what I can give you is more and better than you can imagine. "

"What can there be?"

“For example, the blood of spirit beasts that is hard to find for warriors, various mystical arts and magical instruments of extraordinary power, and the unique skills and magical abilities that are treasured by various sects.

Don't even open your mouth when you have a secret skill. I'm embarrassed to show it to you. It would be embarrassing!"

"This tone is really quite big!"

Chu Zhou said this, his eyes flickering uncontrollably.

He came here today with a clear purpose, which was to kill people, but he didn't expect that it would turn into a situation where he was being instigated to rebel?
This 'miracle turn' was really hard for him to accept!

However, he still shook his head and said, "You are going too far and it's too big. It's hard for me to believe it!"

"Then let's talk about something that's not too far away and not too big.

You should know about the chaos in Tianyuan Prefecture. Do you really think that you can cause chaos in the nine counties just by relying on those hungry people?

Do you really think that the Pure World Red Lotus Society and the Mysterious Moon Sect alone can force Tyrant Sect to be powerless to fight back?"

"So, there are traces of you here?"

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to know that this matter is not so easy to settle.

If things go wrong, Tyrant Sect will just vanish into thin air."

At this point, the old man with the erhu seemed a little proud: "Of course, those are still too far away, let's just talk about the beggars.

Disrupting Tianyuan Prefecture is just the beginning. Next, Chishui Prefecture will not be spared. What do you think of Tianquan County?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"I'm not threatening you, but the Qihuo Army will not overthrow your Tianquan County. It's possible that your base will collapse.

But I can give you a favor. If you join us and become one of us, I will let the Beggar Army leave this place alone.

How about this benefit? "

Chu Zhou finally narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you have such great ability?"

"Believe me, our capabilities are much greater than you think."

“But I still don’t dare to see anyone!”

"That's because we don't want to see anyone right now. Okay, stop talking nonsense. I just want to ask you, are you willing or not?"

The erhu old man kept moving, and the faint music sounded like a complaint and a cry, becoming more and more desolate.

Chu Zhou leaned forward again, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking, yet also unable to make a decision.

However, he didn't spend much time thinking. He sighed and said, "I still can't deceive my own heart!"

"What do you mean?"

"I said, I refuse. I don't want to be with you gutter rats!"

"Why exactly? Didn't I give enough benefits?"

"That's enough. It's enough as long as the Qihuo Army doesn't invade the territory of Tianquan County. But I still don't want to agree."

Chu Zhou's voice became slower and slower, but also more determined, he said: "You built the Dragon King Temple, and you also raised the viper.

Therefore, you should know how many people this big snake ate in Baisha River, how many boats it swallowed, and how many boys and girls were fed to it by you to help it grow."

"I believe that there are more than just this viper. This kind of spiritual beast should be everywhere."

An incredulous look appeared on Erhu's old face: "Is it because of those untouchables that you don't want to join us?"

Chu Zhou's voice became more and more indifferent: "People who disregard other people's lives are really not worthy of trust!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, with his five fingers forming claws, like a dragon's claw, and grabbed the person in front of him.

　Can you guess who the image of this erhu-playing old man was taken from?
