The valley was quiet and quiet, with the bonfire slowly lighting up people's faces, and the firewood making crackling sounds from time to time. Lu Yu and Yun Kongchou sat on the ground, speechless for a long time.
Finally, Yun Kongchou was the first to speak and broke the silence: "In the year 524 of Yunchuan, there was civil strife in Dongyi. King Yiling led the Muni army to attack the Nine Palaces and killed more than 3,000 members of the royal family. No one survived. Historians recorded that the Wangyi Rebellion."
Yun Kongchou's face was calm, but his eyes were shining with resentment, as if a flame that could not be extinguished after thousands of years was rising from his heart.
"Then what did you do" Lu Yu asked, but hesitated.
"Taifu Bo Liyan is a loyal and loyal man. Entrusted by my father, he opened the gate of the royal court, pretended to surrender, and used the method of stealing and exchanging pillars, just to preserve the last trace of my royal blood."
Lu Yu was shocked. Bo Liyan was the Tutor of Dongyi. He was an important official in the dynasty. After the Dongyi Rebellion, it was known to the whole world that he opened the gate of the Dongyi Royal Court, united the inside and the outside, and destroyed the ancestral hall of the royal Si clan. Unexpectedly, this person It is really surprising that he was entrusted by the King of Dongyi and tolerated it like this.
"The royal courts of the five clans are all inherited from ancient times and have profound foundations. How could King Yiling conquer the imperial capital so easily? It is said that masters of the secret realm can reach for the stars and catch the moon. I think there should be many such people in the royal court. Lu Yu was puzzled and asked.
Yun Kongchou picked a bonfire, and the flames rose: "The Dongyi royal family is inherited from the ancient Yi, and the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years cannot be underestimated. However, since the emergence of the Holy Emperor Shiyuanguang a thousand years ago, and the five clans have been in chaos, Talents began to wither. After the end of the Holy Emperor era, it would be difficult for this world to produce strong people who have attained enlightenment. Moreover, although Dayi passed down the Taoism back then, he did not leave behind the essence of Dayi. The Tao was incomplete, and it was already weakening. Xiang. But after all, the heritage is still there, and the ancestral hall will definitely not be exterminated!"
Speaking of this, Yun Kongchou suddenly stopped talking and his eyes became deep and cold.
"If that's the case, how could it be" Lu Yu asked, feeling that something was fishy.
"Then King Yiling is weird!" Before Lu Yu could finish asking, Yun Kongchou said first.
"Is there anything weird?" Lu Yu's heart was moved, but when he saw that Yun Kongchou's eyes were getting colder and his whole person's temperament was as cold as the abyss of a cold pool, he didn't ask any more questions and quickly changed the subject: "Then how did you end up in the Southern Wilderness? Become a slave.¡±
"This is a gamble! As I said just now, the ancestor Dayi passed down the Taoist scriptures, but did not leave the essence, and the Taoism is incomplete. However, there is a secret place in the clan, and only the direct bloodline can know about it. After the civil strife, I was in I sneaked in with the help of Bo Liyan and discovered a big secret, which is not only related to our Dongyi royal family, but also involves an unknown secret in ancient times."
"An unknown secret from ancient times?" Lu Yu's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of the mysterious ancestor of Zhaoyao Mountain. That ancestor was a figure from the Xuanyuan Emperor's era. In terms of power, even if it is not as good as the Xuanyuan clan, it is not much different. And there are various signs that the great ancestor is probably the lifelong enemy of the Xuanyuan family. It is simply incredible that such an earth-shattering figure is not known to future generations and is buried in Zhaoyao Mountain. Why is it not recorded in history books? Who is that great ancestor? What happened in ancient times? Obviously, what later generations knew was not the whole truth, and everything appeared before Lu Yu's eyes like a mist. At this moment, when he heard Yun Kongchou mentioned the ancient secrets, he couldn't help but think about it. After all, he had obtained the Taoist scripture "The Book of Immortality". It is passed down from the great ancestor.
"Lu Yu, how much do you know about the Xuanyuan clan?" Yun Kongchou interrupted Lu Yu's thoughts and asked.
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Xuanyuan was born into a humble family, in troubled times, but encountered extraordinary circumstances in his life. It took him decades to pacify Yunchuan, dominate the world, and finally establish the foundation of humanity. Legend has it that Xuanyuan was a benevolent, selfless, A wise emperor."
Yun Kongchou smiled slightly when he heard the words and said: "The world's legend of the Xuanyuan clan is too different. At that time, our ancestor Dayi was under the command of the Xuanyuan clan. The Xuanyuan clan recorded in the clan was a wonderful man, wild but not so cruel. Funny, upright but not rigid, it can be said that Xuanyuan was able to be followed by countless powerful people back then. On the one hand, it was certainly because of his strength, but on the other hand, it was also related to his charisma."
Lu Yu's heart stirred: "The secret you learned is related to the Xuanyuan clan?"
Yun Kongchou suddenly stopped smiling, paused and said, "I learned about a buried history in the secret place. Back then, Holy Emperor Xuanyuan unified Yunchuan, and the prosperous age was as brilliant as the Nine Heavens Fairyland. It was a great era that you can't even imagine. It seems that the splendid essence of heaven and earth, the majestic beauty of the universe are all concentrated in the same generation, and there are many masters of enlightenment, including Xuanyuan's subordinates alone. This is a prosperous dynasty that future generations can only look up to, but it is precisely Such unprecedented strength laid the foundation for a disaster later on.¡±
"After the world was pacified, Xuanyuan family traveled to Yunnan in his later years.Sichuan, after walking through the place where he grew up all his life, he came back and summoned all the powerful men under his command in Emperor Xuanyuan's temple. At the right time, Emperor Xuanyuan sat high in the temple, smiled and said: "My life has been worthy of heaven and earth, and I have joined the great road. However, Even though we are enlightened people, we are unable to defy the way of heaven and earth. Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. Three days from now will be the day of my death. 'Speaking of this, everyone present was shocked. You must know that the monks who have achieved enlightenment have a long life span, and the Xuanyuan family is one of the best. At this time, all the great masters of the enlightenment under his command have not yet fallen. They never thought that it was the Xuanyuan family who became the first to become immortal, and also Gain insight into your own opportunities. "
"Could it be that the great power of enlightenment has reached such an unpredictable level? Holy Emperor Xuanyuan is indeed unpredictable." Lu Yu said in horror.
"No, that's not the case." Yun Kongchou shook his head: "Even if the enlightenment power can predict one's own life and death, I don't know exactly how. Moreover, the ancestors recorded that the situation that day was extremely strange, and everyone present was talking to each other. The look in his eyes showed deep fear and doubt, obviously everyone saw something was wrong, but no one dared to raise it."
"Weird? What kind of weirdness?" Lu Yu became even more suspicious and asked in confusion.
"I don't know, the ancestors never mentioned it, they just mentioned it in passing." Yun Kongchou shook his head and continued: "What's even more weird is that Xuanyuan asked him to place himself in the Immortal Burial Hall after his death."
"What? The Immortal Burial Palace? What kind of place is this? According to myths and legends, Holy Emperor Xuanyuan died and became immortal, and his body was clarified and transformed into gas, and was buried in the Tiankeng. How could it be placed in the so-called Immortal Burial Palace? Besides, regardless of official history books or myths The legends have never mentioned this Immortal Burial Palace." Lu Yu was surprised and raised his doubts.
Yun Kong frowned and said in a solemn tone: "It seems that the mythical history that has been passed down to this day is missing a part for some reason and is not complete. When the Xuanyuan clan mentioned the Immortal Burial Hall that day, everyone, including the ancestors, was puzzled. They never understood it. I have heard of it. In the end, the Holy Emperor Xin Liu Yuan raised the question when he had not yet attained enlightenment. Xin Liu Yuan was a disciple of the Xuanyuan family and was quite loved by the Xuanyuan family in his later years."
"Since the Holy Emperor Liuyuan raised the question, everyone looked at Xuanyuan, hoping to get an answer. Xuanyuan didn't say anything, but just pointed out. In an instant, the space rippled and shattered, layer by layer, and a few black holes appeared in alignment, exuding chaos. The energy of the sky was like the founding singularity, and the earth, wind, water, and fire all gushed out. Immediately, everyone seemed to hear the gods and Buddhas singing for nine days. The golden lotus blossomed, the fairy light overflowed, and the nine-color auspicious clouds shrouded. There was a sudden tremor, and the space transformed, shattered, and reorganized. In that scenic scene, a palace rose up, overflowing with light, but its style was very strange. It was shaped like a palace and styled like a coffin. A faint yellow river surrounded it, evaporating the undead angels. Everyone came to the front of the palace and looked at it from a distance. Go and see three big words written on the plaque above the palace hall: Immortal Burial Hall!"
Speaking of this, Lu Yu took a breath of air-conditioning. The ancient power was indeed earth-shattering. The Xuanyuan clan was worthy of being an eternal hero. Such methods and courage were as majestic as myths and legends, making future generations admire and admire them.
Yun Kongchou ignored Lu Yu's surprise and continued: "Everyone is astonished when the Immortal Burial Palace appears. The human race has been inherited for countless years, but they have never heard of such a dense place. Now that it appears out of thin air, it is like a cloud of doubt weighing on everyone's minds. However, Xuanyuan didn't take it seriously. He smiled calmly and said: After my death, I was buried in this palace. After that, I was buried in the Immortal Palace and returned to nothingness. You must not reveal even a single word and must keep your mouth shut. This is the king's order. Everyone immediately obeyed and obeyed."
"Three days later, will Xuanyuan be dead?" Lu Yu asked.
"Three days later, the Xuanyuan family was as usual, full of energy and not showing any sign of decline. In the evening of that day, they drank tea and gazed at the sky at the star observation platform until late at night. When everyone saw the Xuanyuan family like this, they all thought that it was probably the Xuanyuan family and the Everyone made a joke, or maybe their judgment was wrong. The night was getting deeper and deeper. Seeing that the third day was about to pass, a stone in everyone's heart fell to the ground. But at this moment, a dragon roar resounded throughout the world. , disturbing all living beings. Everyone's heart sank when they heard it, and they understood that it was the roar of the dragon next to Xuanyuan. They couldn't help but rush to the observatory, but when they felt it, they saw a terrifying scene .¡±
At this point, Yun Kongchou raised his head and looked at Lu Yu and said quietly: "Xuanyuan stood facing south, pointing to the sky with his left hand, eyes closed, smiling, as if he had transformed into an immortal and passed away. At this time, the third day had just ended. that moment!"
