As a superior person, even if he is not in the officialdom, Zhang Sicheng still thinks very clearly about these things. Don't you see, in "Journey to the West", any monster with no background behind it, no matter how magical it is, the final outcome, Most of them only end up dead without a burial place.

In addition to the first few murals describing the Ancestral Master, Zhang Sicheng also noticed that many of the subsequent murals described some important events and nodes in the history of the Zhang family, but they were also different from what he had in mind. Yes, there are many more battle scenes here, and the targets of the battle are mostly monsters with weird and weird looks.

Seeing this, Zhang Sicheng couldn't help but think of the huge Beijing view in the forbidden area and the densely packed demon heads on the Yongzhen Monument.

After Zhang Sicheng looked around the surrounding murals and saw that there were no other items of note, he continued to walk forward, following the lighted oil lamps. In front of him was a corridor leading to the front. Zhang Sicheng walked along the corridor. As he moved forward, he noticed that the ground beneath his feet was covered with a thin layer of floating dust.It could be seen that no one had entered here for a long time. As he stepped forward, footprints appeared vaguely on the ground.

Walking forward for a while, you will see a large circular hall in front of you. This hall is more than ten meters in diameter and has a huge Tai Chi yin and yang fish pattern carved on the top of the hall.

Zhang Sicheng looked around at the entrance of the hall and found that there were some display racks around the hall, on which were placed some classics, volumes and some ancient ornaments. Zhang Sicheng just looked at the ornaments from a distance and knew that they were all Real antiquities are not fakes imitated by later generations.

The most eye-catching thing is the stone niche in the center. There is a futon on the ground in front of the stone niche. On the stone niche is enshrined a stone statue of Xuanyuan Great Heavenly Lord, who is as tall as a real person. The Heavenly Lord's eyes are calm and compassionate. Looking down lightly ahead.

Chapter 687 Penglai disciple Zhang Xuantong

In front of the statue of Tianzun, there is a tablet. In front of the tablet, there is a black box. The box is simple in style and is also an ancient object.

Zhang Sicheng slowly walked into the stone statue of Xuanyuan Great Heavenly Master with caution in his heart. It was not until he got closer that he discovered that the tablet enshrined in front of the statue was actually the tablet of his ancestor Celestial Master.

It should be said that many tablets of the Ancestral Heavenly Master Zhang Xuantong are enshrined in Xuanmen temples in various places, but they are generally written as "Master Chengtian Lijiao, Ancestral Heavenly Master Zhang Xuantong".

Chengtian Lijiao Grand Master was the title conferred by Emperor Taizong of the Liang Dynasty to Zhang Tianshi. The Liang Dynasty believed in Xuanmen and highly respected Tianshi.

However, the tablet that Zhang Sicheng saw in front of the stone statue of Great Heavenly Lord was completely different from the ordinary writing. It said, "The position of Zhang Xuantong, a disciple of Penglai's sect."

Zhang Sicheng suddenly thought of the mysterious and powerful sect he had heard about in Zhebi Mountain. His uncle's words were indeed true. His ancestors indeed came from the Penglai Immortal Sect.

Not daring to be rude immediately, Zhang Sicheng first tidied his clothes next to the futon in front of the stone niche, and then knelt down on the futon respectfully, bowing as expected. After three kneels and nine kowtows, he stood up again.

After that, Zhang Sicheng respectfully came to the black box. When he got closer, he realized that the black box was made of silver. It was only due to the long years that it became black due to oxidation.

He calmed down, silently recited "Infinite Blessings to the Heavenly Lord", stretched out his hand, lifted the lid of the box, and at the same time looked into the silver box...

But he saw that the box was covered with cushions, and on the cushion was an ancient seal made of white jade. The ancient seal had a restrained luster and carved dragon buttons. When Zhang Sicheng saw it, his heart beat violently, and he reached out in disbelief. Taking the jade seal, it felt warm and cold in his hands. He couldn't wait to turn it over and look at it. Sure enough, the seal with six characters clearly said: "Treasure of Tianshi Zhentan".

"It really is this thing! I didn't expect it to be here!!!" Zhang Sicheng murmured, feeling extremely excited.

There are many legends about the Celestial Master in history, and the most widely spread about the inheritance of the Celestial Master is that the Celestial Master once passed down two magic weapons, one sword and one seal. Sword" and the seal is "the treasure of the Heavenly Master holding the altar".

According to legend, whenever a new heavenly master succeeds to the throne, he will ask for these two treasures to show his legitimacy.

In fact, what outsiders don’t know is that there are actually more than one “Treasure of Heavenly Master’s Altar” in the Tianshi Mansion, but as many as four. The last three were all rewarded by the emperors of the past dynasties after they were re-engraved. , only the first one is the most important inheritance treasure.

And this inherited treasure has been lost long ago!

When Zhang Sicheng found out about this, it was when he came to the throne that he had to ask for these two treasures again. However, these two treasures have always been precious and have been personally preserved by the heavenly masters of the past dynasties.However, due to the sudden death of the previous Heavenly Master, there was no handover at all. However, after re-cleaning, the "Treasure of Heavenly Master's Altar" could not be found.

Therefore, Zhang Sicheng became the Heavenly Master, and he actually used another "Treasure of the Heavenly Master's Altar" given by the emperor.

Very few people in the Tianshi Mansion knew about this matter. Because it was so important, Zhang Sicheng issued a hush-hush order on it after he came to the throne, and it was kept secret ever since.Outsiders only know that the Tianshi Mansion attaches great importance to those two treasures and keeps it secret from others, but they don't know that one of them has actually been lost.

In fact, the Celestial Master's Mansion has been looking for this lost treasure seal, but there has been no result. Some people say that this treasure seal may have been lost long ago, but the Celestial Masters of all generations have kept it secret.Due to the special circumstances of the current Heavenly Master's accession to the throne, this matter was partially made public.

Of course, it is more believed that this seal was placed in a secret place by the previous Heavenly Master, and the specific location has become a mystery because of his death.

I really never thought that this seal would actually be in this underground secret room!

In fact, this is not because Zhang Jing did any special tricks. This seal was really placed in this secret room, and then it was lost as the existence of the secret room became a real secret. .

After Zhang Jing discovered the seal, he did not take it away. Although it was an extremely important cultural relic, it was a priceless treasure to the Tianshi Mansion.But at this time, Zhang Jing needed it to further strengthen Zhang Sicheng's understanding and believed in everything about this place, so he further made some arrangements on this seal...

Just when Zhang Sicheng was excited, the seal in his hand suddenly began to become warm. Then, he saw that the words on the seal seemed to be distorted. Zhang Sicheng was old after all. In the dim environment, Subconsciously, he squinted his eyes and looked more carefully.

At this moment, he felt a sudden trance in front of his eyes. Then, he felt that his entire consciousness suddenly condensed into one point, and then he threw it towards the seal in his hand...

..........................................

In a dilapidated village, what should be green wheat fields are overgrown with weeds, but no farmers are seen taking care of them. Green moss and vines hang on the houses. It can be seen that they have not been cleaned for a long time.A man wearing linen clothes, a bamboo hat, and a backpack was walking through the villages. This man had a beard and an ancient face. As he walked forward, he frowned and observed the surrounding environment.After a while, he suddenly kicked away a lush grass in the village, revealing a remains that had rotted into bones at the roots of the grass...

After walking forward for a while, we came to the center of the village. Suddenly, a good-looking woman came out to greet her. She looked very enthusiastic and seemed to want to take this person to the courtyard as a guest. Something was cooking in the courtyard, and smoke was curling up from the kitchen. .

Then he saw this man walking forward with a smile, as if he was going to follow the woman into the house. At this moment, he saw the bag behind him explode suddenly. He held a long sword in the bag with his backhand and struck out with a sword. Kill that woman!

The woman let out a howl that did not sound like a human voice, but did not fall down. She grabbed the sword wound on her body with both hands, and tore off the human skin on her body like tearing paper. But under the human skin, there was It was a twisted monster with slender limbs and sharp claws. It stood on all fours and jumped towards the man flexibly.

But I saw the man holding a long sword and fighting with the monster. His body was as nimble as an ape, leaping between the houses. After a while, I saw his hands forming seals, and the monster suddenly froze and tightened. Then he seized the opportunity and stabbed his heart with a sword, which turned into ashes all over the sky with a bang...

Chapter 688 The Heavenly Master Descends from the Mountain

After that, the scene changed many times, with twisted and horrifying creatures appearing in the dirty river water, on the deep mountain roads, in the shadows of the city...

This man seems to be traveling in all directions, chasing these weirdos at the same time.

..........................................

On a huge altar, bright red blood was flowing. A soldier grabbed some people who were still howling and crying, cut off their heads, and threw them on the altar.

Judging from the clothes of the people in the picture, they should be from ancient times.

I just don’t know which dynasty or generation it is from?

Zhang Sicheng was watching all this from a detached perspective. He only felt that the man's appearance was quite familiar...

……………………………………

On a huge altar, a bloody sacrifice was being carried out. Some armored soldiers were cutting down some people who were kneeling on the ground, and the sound of crying was endless.

The scene changes, above the altar, ghosts howl, and cracks appear in the dark sky, like a leaky roof, with groups of invisible strange substances seeping in;

What can be seen with the naked eye, what is invisible to the naked eye, what is terrifying, what is twisted...

Countless strange things that cannot be described in words invade this world.

Zhang Sicheng was horrified when he saw this, and subconsciously began to recite the Holy Name of Heavenly Lord to relieve the depression in his heart.This world...is anything but normal!

..........................................

Just when Zhang Sicheng felt that the depression in his heart was almost unstoppable, the scene changed again!

war!

In the desolate wilderness, two huge military formations are confronting each other!

Zhang Sicheng noticed that in one of the military formations, he saw two familiar banners:

One side reads: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky will stand."

The other side is: "Great Virtue and Good Teacher Seal"

This is...the Huang Tiandao Rebellion? ! !

Could it be the end of summer?

At the same time, he also saw that high in the sky, there was an inexplicable gloom. At a level invisible to ordinary people, a huge tentacle that could not be described in ordinary language was about to tear through the clouds and invade the world.

What distortion, depravity, and filthy tendrils this contains!Just one look at it seems to drive people crazy...

Zhang Sicheng just glanced at it and didn't dare to look again. Even with the protection of some kind of power, he felt so uncomfortable that he almost vomited.

From the very beginning, the war showed an extremely cruel side. People on both sides kept falling, and the sounds of killing, the neighing of war horses, miserable howls, the sound of sharp blades piercing the air and even the sound of blood splattering were mixed together.

Zhang Sicheng watched almost the entire war, like a bystander with a God's perspective.

And at the end, a man wearing a linen feather coat, with loose hair, and holding a nine-section staff stepped into the void, and stepped into the sky step by step.

"Great Master!!!"

"Great Master!!!"

In the military formation below, cheers rose and fell like a sea wave, like thunder rolling across the field...

Then he saw him throwing the nine-section bamboo stick in his hand into the air. The bamboo stick took off in the wind and turned into a blue dragon. It continued to grow bigger, climbed higher and higher, penetrated into the clouds, and the lead clouds rolled and thundered. Swimming with the blue dragon, facing the tentacles...

Is this Zhang Taiping? !Could this be the true face of the Huang Tiandao uprising? ! !

........................

The scene suddenly changed again, with bright stars in the sky and a bright moon hanging high.

In a sea of ​​clouds, through the heavy clouds and mist, I suddenly saw a palace, with cranes flying around it, hiding in the clouds, just like the residence of the immortals.

On the terrace of the palace, an old man in feathers looked up at the stars in the distance, counting back and forth with his right thumb on his middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, with a worried look on his face.

"Master, the hexagrams are still..." A voice came from behind.

"How can it be so easy to resolve this calamity and crisis..." The old man shook his head and said, turning back to look at the bearded man standing behind him and saying, "Good minister, you are ready. ?”

"Yes, my disciple is fully prepared. Now I'm here to bid farewell to Master."

The old man looked at the man for a long time, hesitating to speak, and finally said: "Once this is gone, it will be difficult for you and me, master and disciple, to see each other again. I would like to ask you again, if you regret it now, you can still change your mind... "

"The teacher's kindness is so deep that I can't repay it..." The man heard the words and knelt down on the ground with a thud: "It's just that at this time, the disciple proposed it for the sake of the sect... for the livelihood of the people... the disciple should have no hesitation..."

When the old man heard this, he sighed again. He seemed to have aged several years. Then, he finally nodded and said: "Very good... You are very good... It's just that I have wronged you..."

As he spoke, the old man touched his sleeves, and the man kneeling on the ground was unconsciously lifted up by a strong force.

"Actually, all the teachers of various sects understand your previous proposal. Otherwise, even if the three sects of Xuanmen are connected with each other, Zhang Taiping, after all, broke the great precepts and caused such a turmoil. How could it be possible? Was it exposed like this?"

"You mean..." The man suddenly raised his head and looked at his teacher with wide eyes.

"In the final analysis, Emperor Xia went against the grain and turned the world away from him. All the sects did not want the evil god to get out of trouble. Things got out of hand..."

"In addition, there was a calamity on our backs that day... All the sects were also looking for a way to break the situation. If they really had no intention of reform, how could they acquiesce to the chapter of Taiping establishing the branch of Yunxiao Mountain..."

"I see...disciple thought..."

"Why? Do you think that the sect is full of inflexible old antiques?"

"The disciple dare not..."

"You were right what you said that day. It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. When people want something but can't get it, they turn to ghosts and gods. Things of faith are easy to avoid but not easy to block. The reason why evil gods and obscene sacrifices cannot be cut off is because of foolish men. A foolish woman wants something.”

The old man walked to the side and sat down cross-legged on the futon, motioning for the man to sit in front of him, and then continued: "Therefore, cutting down mountains and destroying temples alone is not enough to stop the evil cult from raging. It is also necessary to establish righteous faith. From this point of view, that chapter of Taiping The method does have merit."

"This is exactly what my disciple thinks. We practitioners travel around the world and claim to be outsiders. Some people also call us magicians and immortals through false rumors. There are even private sacrifices among the people. Disciple is thinking, instead of letting things go as they are, it is better to On this basis, establishing Taoist beliefs can also educate the world."

"Build a palace and accept disciples. If there are talented and intelligent people among them who are qualified for big posts, they can also attract new blood to the sect."

"Good." The old man closed his head slightly when he heard the words.

"Now that I'm going, I don't have much to tell you, but I just have to remember one thing: cultivators should not interfere in worldly affairs, especially matters of prosperity and destruction. This is a great precept. Even if you want to establish a religion, you must not forget it. , do you know?"

"The disciple knows."

"Well, have you figured out where to go?"
