In the verdant valley, beside a dry lake, on top of a pile of rocks, Tang Xiaotang untied the beast's tail on her collar, revealing her white and tender face. She listened to the sound of a sword breaking the rocks and asked, "Brother, is the Tomes of Arcane really inside?"
Tang shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Tang Xiaotang was puzzled and asked, "Then why did those old guys from the Divine Hall send people here?"
Tang said, "According to the news from the Central Plains, the Great Divine Priest of Revelation issued a decree after returning from the south. He said that the Tomes of Arcane will appear when the Holy Land opens."
Tang Xiaotang scratched her head and asked, "But didn't you say that the Holy Land became a ruin after it was destroyed and there was nothing inside? Why is the old guy called Priest of Revelation so sure that the Tomes of Arcane are here? "
Tang said, "The three Great Divine Priests of the Divine Hall each have their own profound attainments. The Great Divine Priest of Revelation sensed the will of Haotian. It is said that he may even have the ability of prophecy. Who would not believe what he said?"
Tang Xiaotang suddenly thought of the Taoist priest who sang on the Cliff Peak. She did not know why there was a trace of fear in her heart. She asked, "Brother, do you think that person will come to snatch the Tomes of Arcane?"
Tang Xiaotang was silent for a long time and shook his head. "No, because there is someone more important than the Tomes of Arcane in his heart."
…
…
As time went by, the night grew longer in the extreme north of this world, and the weather became colder. In this mountain abandoned by Haotian, the verdant valley that had disappeared for decades reappeared. The Daming Lake was emptied, and the legendary Great Blockage Formation was reactivated. The Qi of Heaven and Earth was attached to the Snow-capped Peak and pointed to the sky. How amazing it was!
The Qi of Heaven and Earth caused by the reopening of the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine was extinguished in a very short time, but this wave still spread out of the vast Snow Mountain and spread to more distant places.
In the Wilderness on the outskirts of the Tianqi Mountains, black soil and white snow mixed together. Occasionally, one could see dead beasts on the snowy ground. The cold winter wind was like a knife blowing against the tents, making them flutter. They themselves were the sharpest hunting knives.
Ye Su walked silently between heaven and earth. The ordinary Taoist robe on his body was as smooth as a cliff wall, completely unaffected by the cold wind. He seemed to be walking normally with his knees raised, but in an instant, he walked more than a hundred feet straight. His footsteps landed on the floating snow without leaving a trace, and he floated like an immortal.
When the Primal Qi of Heaven and Earth from the reopening of the Devil's Doctrine in the distant mountains reached his world from behind, he slowly stopped and looked back expressionlessly. However, he had no intention of going over to take a look.
As a World Wayfarer of the Zhishou Abbey, Ye Su knew about the Great Divine Priest of Relation's edict earlier than anyone else. He even knew that the "Ming" Handscroll of the Seven Tomes of Arcane would reappear in the Wilderness before the Great Divine Priest of Relation himself.
However, for a cultivator at his level, he could even see through the gates of death. Naturally, he could see through all external objects and would not let those external objects affect his heart, even if those external objects were Heavenly Tomes.
Moreover, he had made a bet with Tang on the promise of breaking the realm between Ning Que and Long Qing. Since he had lost, he naturally had to admit defeat. It was not a matter of whether he could see through it or not, but he could not allow himself to leave any shadow in his state of mind.
His appearance in the Wilderness had nothing to do with the Tomes of Arcane, the Desolate Man's southward journey, or the reopening of the Devil's Doctrine's Front Gate.
He had lived in the abbey since he was a child, and the six volumes of Tomes of Arcane were his first books since he could read. He had looked at the world coldly since he was a child. The Desolate Man's southward journey might be a big deal to the secular world, but it could not attract his attention at all. The reopening of the Devil's Doctrine's Front Gate was relatively interesting. However, the Devil's Doctrine had already withered and was no longer a threat.
There were too few people or things in this world that were qualified to make him leave the Zhishou Abbey.
However, the person who stood on the other end of the line fourteen years ago was definitely qualified.
Ye Su really wanted to meet that person. He had thought about it for many years, but that person had always been in the mountain and beside the mountain. Even someone as proud and powerful as him could not get close to that person.
This year, the person on the other end of the line finally left the mountain and came to the Wilderness.
He did not know where that person was.
But he knew that he would meet that person.
Because the unique temperament of the mountain and that person's temperament had determined this.
That person wanted to protect the little guy called Ning Que.
So when Ning Que was really in danger, that person must be beside him.
So he only needed to wait until Ning Que was really in danger.
But at this time, Ning Que was outside the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine.
Why did he leave the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine and head south?
…
…
There was a big blue lake in the south of the Tianqi Mountain. It was the Hulan Sea, which was regarded as the holy land by the grassland barbarians. At this time, there was a thin layer of ice floating on the surface of the lake. The men of the grassland tribes who had lived by the lake for generations were fishing for some aquatic plants in the lake before the ice was completely sealed.
Wherever there were grassland barbarians, there would often be caravans from the Central Plains. However, it was after all the winter and the war between the grassland and the Central Plains Coalition Army had just ended. It was a little strange for a caravan from the Central Plains to appear by the Hulan Sea. However, these merchants were extravagant and had paid the deposit for leather goods at the end of next summer. So the tribal headman acquiesced to their existence and even allocated a camp for them.
The caravan from the Central Plains was cooking by the lake. Dozens of people were sitting around the fire. Taking advantage of the rare sunny weather, they did not enter the tents to avoid the cold. Looking at their actions, it seemed that they were led by one of the merchants.
The rather stout merchant was gnawing on a greasy leg of lamb and grumbling from time to time. It was obvious that he was not very satisfied with the hospitality of the grassland barbarians. A burly middle-aged man wearing a felt hat next to him, who was probably a steward or a bodyguard, tried to persuade him in a soft voice. However, he was scolded instead.
All of a sudden, countless white clouds appeared in the clear blue sky. It was as if an invisible giant hand had directly torn the blue canvas apart and the white paint behind it seeped out.
The grassland barbarians and the merchants from the Central Plains noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky at the same time and looked up in surprise.
The leader of the merchants cursed a few times.
The well-built middle-aged guard with a respectful expression narrowed his eyes as he looked at the clouds in the sky. His expression gradually turned solemn.
For some unknown reason, the stout merchant became serious when he saw the solemn expression of the middle-aged man. He did not dare to scold him anymore. He lowered his head to hide the awe in his eyes and asked a few questions in a low voice.
The middle-aged man looked at the white clouds in the sky quietly and felt the fluctuation of the aura of Heaven and Earth coming from the foothills in the far north. His face, which was covered by the shadow of the felt hat, slowly revealed a very complicated expression. It was an expression of nostalgia, warmth, and calmness after a long time. However, it was also mixed with some extremely faint regret and sadness.
Then the middle-aged man said very succinctly, "The door is open."
…
…
Ning Que carried Mo Shanshan's weak body on his back and stepped on the stones on the ground with difficulty. When he reached the center of the lake, he saw a very large stone door. The stone door was so huge that it looked like a small mountain when looked up from below.
Even the most magnificent city in the world, Chang 'an, did not have such a magnificent and huge stone door.
Because of its huge size, this was the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine.
Ning Que did not think that he would find the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine so easily. For a moment, he could not believe his eyes. He could not understand how such a magnificent and huge stone door was hidden in the Daming Lake and why he did not see it when he walked in the Great Blockage Formation. He subconsciously looked back at the way he came.
When he walked in the rugged stones and the fierce formation, he could not see the stone door at all. However, when he walked out, the stone door appeared in front of him, as if the stone door was only willing to be seen by the person it chose.
Opening the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine was even easier than finding the Front Gate. He did not need to recite any incantation, nor did he need any amazing and terrible mechanism. When Ning Que's right hand gently touched the rough and solemn surface of the stone door, there was a soft sound. Countless years of accumulated dust splashed out from the cracks of the stone door, and then the stone door slowly opened.
Ning Que looked up at the Snow-capped Peak, which was even more towering and majestic than before. Then his eyes met Mo Shanshan's shocked and weak eyes, and he stepped in.
…
…
Majesty, solemnity, solemnity, grandeur, holiness … This kind of special feeling was often built on a huge scale. For example, Chang 'an City, which the goshawk did not dare to fly over, and the Divine Hall on the Peach Mountain overlooking the common people. When these buildings and the small human body formed a strong contrast, this kind of feeling would be produced.
When they walked into the huge stone door and climbed up tens of thousands of long stone steps, they came to the main hall of the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine. These feelings instantly occupied the minds of Ning Que and Mo Shanshan.
Because the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine they saw was more magnificent and huge than any building they had seen before.
The Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine was in the mountain, or more precisely, in the majestic Snow-capped Peak by the Daming Lake. The Devil's Doctrine was in a huge space formed after the belly of a towering Snow-capped Peak was completely hollowed out.
This space was so big that it was completely unimaginable. No one knew how deep it was, and no one knew how high it was. It was even so big that it gave people the illusion that this was a place that could only appear in dreams, a world that only Haotian had the power to open up.
No one knew where the clear light came from, but there were countless thick and huge stone beams lying across the space. These stone beams had clear and orderly marks made by knives and axes. They were extremely thick and the surface was enough for four horse carriages to run side by side.
The two looked at the wide and straight stone beam in front of them and felt that they could not see the end of the stone beam at all. However, the thick stone beams in the distance were like extremely thin spider silk in the huge space!
The thick stone beams gathered in the middle like a spider web, and finally converged into a stone platform in the middle of the distant rocky peak. A palace could be seen on the platform from afar. The palace should be huge, but looking at it from the cliff, it looked like a hollow micro-sculpture carved by a skilled craftsman on a grain of rice. As for Ning Que and Mo Shanshan, who were far away from the palace, they seemed to not exist in this huge space, like a grain of sand between the rock walls!
The two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
In the face of such an incredible and magnificent existence, no one would be able to suppress a sense of awe. They would want to kneel down and worship it, and even cry because of their own insignificance.
Because in front of such a magnificent world, human beings could only be ants.
However, what really shocked Ning Que was that this huge space that only Haotian had the power to open up was actually opened up by those ant-like human beings a thousand years ago!
