Hu Xiaoxian also thought of this and said, "The dead should be respected. Besides, we have so many Spirit Stones. We should kowtow to Senior Situ."
Then she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Situ Zhaixing's memorial tablet three times. Before she stood up, she heard the sound of a machine.
Oh no! There was a mechanism!
Qin Haodong held the little fellow in one hand and Hu Xiaoxian's waist with the other. They rushed to the door of the stone room.
When they looked back, there was no danger in the room. At this time, the incense table under the memorial tablet moved to the right, revealing a cave entrance. The cave entrance was still bright, and there was a staircase leading down.
"It turns out that there is another space here!"
Qin Haodong let go of Hu Xiaoxian, and they walked down the stairs one after another. There was a stone room about 20 square meters below. There was a futon in the middle of the stone room, and a man was sitting cross-legged. It was Situ Zhaixing, but there was no vitality in him. Obviously, he had been sitting for a long time.
Just when their attention was attracted by Situ Zhaixing's body, they heard a click and the entrance had been completely sealed.
"What's going on?"
Qin Haodong was shocked. He turned back and waved his hand at the entrance. After a muffled bang, the entrance did not move at all. Qin Haodong reached out and flicked it, making a tinkling sound. It turned out that the entrance had been sealed by an iron plate made of fine steel.
"Oh no, we are trapped!" Qin Haodong said.
"Let me have a try!"
Hu Xiaoxian said as she drew out the Purple Flash Sword. A purple light slashed at the iron plate at the entrance. After a crisp sound, there was only a small white dot left on the iron plate, but there was no damage.
At this time, they heard someone say, "There is no need to try. I built the exit with ten-thousand-year-old cold iron. You can't break it at all."
Qin Haodong and Hu Xiaoxian turned their heads and saw a shadow appear in the basement again. It was Situ Zhaixing. But his body had been sitting next to him. This should be the divine thought left by him before he died.
"Senior Situ, what do you mean by trapping us here?" Qin Haodong asked.
"You are the fated ones since you can find the secret room I left. Since you are here, don't worry. Sit down and listen. I will tell you a story."
Situ Zhaixing pointed to the two futons in the corner and asked them to sit down.
Qin Haodong thought for a moment. Anyway, it was useless to be anxious now. The stone room was so solid that it was impossible to force their way out. He could only wait for Situ Zhaixing to finish.
He took Hu Xiaoxian to sit down on the futon. Although Situ Zhaixing was just a wisp of divine thought, he also made a posture of sitting down. The little fellow felt it was very interesting and looked at the illusory Situ Zhaixing with great interest.
"Senior Situ, just tell me what you want," Qin Haodong said.
"It's a long story. I have to start with my father, Situ Qing."
Situ Zhaixing began to talk slowly.
"My father is the 42nd Sect Leader of Yi Yuan School. He once fell into the trap of the evil cultivator, Ghost King Ling Shan. He was seriously injured and fled to Liaodong.
Although he escaped the pursuit of Ghost King Mang Shan, my father was seriously injured and was on the verge of death. Fortunately, he was not fated to die. He met a small hunter in the forest.
The small hunter saved my father's life with deer blood. When he recovered, in order to repay his kindness, my father told the small hunter that he could fulfill any wish he had. Unexpectedly, the small hunter was so ambitious that he wanted to be the emperor.
As the head of Yi Yuan School, my father always kept his word. Although the small hunter's request was a little excessive, he finally agreed. In order to fulfill the small hunter's wish, my father took out 12 Upper Level Spirit Stones and used the terrain of the mountains and rivers outside the Great Wall to set up a Rising Dragon Formation to nourish the small hunter's Dragon Vein. "
"Small hunter, Dragon Vein outside the Great Wall?" Hearing this, Qin Haodong was shocked and asked, "Senior Situ, is the small hunter called Nurhachi?"
"Yes, that's his name." Situ Zhaixing continued, "With the help of my father, the small hunter's luck became stronger day by day. Finally, he unified Liaodong outside the Great Wall. Unfortunately, his lifespan was too short, and he died before the Ascending Dragon Vein reached its peak.
Before he died, the little hunter begged my master to be the Protector of the Female Zhenren, but my father was a cultivator and didn't want to get too involved in worldly affairs, so he didn't agree. However, he still promised the little hunter that he would continue to use the Rising Dragon Formation to nourish his family's dragon veins, so that his descendants could become emperors. "
Qin Haodong was secretly shocked. It was said that the Manchurian Qing Dynasty had a dragon vein beyond the Great Wall, and now it seemed to be true.
Situ Zhaixing said, "The little hunter's son is a boy named Huang Taiji. This guy is very smart. He knows that my father's Rising Dragon Formation is the foundation of his family, so he tries to please him. After the invitation to be the Imperial Preceptor was rejected, the Imperial Preceptor directly used his name to name the country, and named it Qing. "
"Oh my god, so that's how the Qing Dynasty got its name?"
In Qin Haodong's history class, the teacher had told him that Huang Taiji had changed the name of the Qing Dynasty to eliminate the Han people's rejection. He wanted to show the world that the Qing Dynasty was not the continuation of the Jin Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty wanted to be the ruler of the world.
However, this statement was questioned by the students at that time. Some people asked why they named it Qing. There were so many Chinese characters. Why did they choose to name it Qing?
This question puzzled the teacher at that time, and now he finally had the answer. It turned out that it came from the name of Situ Qing, the head of the Yiyuan Sect.
Situ Zhaixing continued, "Later, the Dragon Qi gathered by the Rising Dragon Formation became stronger and stronger. Finally, Huang Taiji became the emperor as he wished. After he became the emperor, he didn't reduce his respect for my father. Every year, he would donate a lot of money to the Yiyuan Sect and provide all kinds of cultivation resources.
"But the life of mortals is not like us cultivators, who can live for hundreds of years. They only have a few decades to live. Soon, Huang Taiji passed away, and his children and grandchildren succeeded him one after another.
"The existence of our Yiyuan Sect and the Rising Dragon Formation became the secret of every emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Only when the old emperor passed away would he tell his successor this secret.
"When Kangxi succeeded to the throne, the secret of the Rising Dragon Formation was somehow leaked out. Some supporters of the previous dynasty knew that the Manchurian Qing Dynasty had a dragon vein beyond the Great Wall. Many people went to Liaodong to search for it, trying to cut off this dragon vein.
"Kangxi was very scared when he found out. He went to the Yiyuan Sect to find my father and asked him to move the Rising Dragon Formation to the capital.
"For the sake of this little guy's filial piety for many years, my father agreed and asked him to build a Summer Palace in the capital. Then, he sealed 12 Upper Level Spirit Stones in the heads of the twelve zodiac animals. In this way, the Rising Dragon Formation was quietly moved to the capital.
"With the nourishment of the Rising Dragon Formation, the Qing Dynasty was like the sun in the sky. Not only was the national power strong, but the emperor also lived a long life."
Hearing this, Qin Haodong knew that something must have happened later. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty would not have gone downhill.
As expected, Situ Zhaixing continued, "But there was a problem with Kangxi. Originally, he chose the 14th son as his successor. Unexpectedly, his fourth son usurped the throne after his death.
"After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he directly imprisoned the 14th prince. "But the problem was that the secret of our Yiyuan Sect and the Rising Dragon Formation was passed on by Kangxi to the 14th prince. Yongzheng didn't know anything about it. "The 14th prince wanted to tell this secret to Yongzheng, but he couldn't see Yongzheng at all. The matter of the dragon vein was of great importance, so he couldn't ask others to tell him.
"After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he found that the Qing Dynasty provided a lot of materials to the members of parliament every year. This made him extremely dissatisfied. At the same time, he felt that there were many masters in our Yiyuan Sect, which was too big a threat to the Qing Dynasty.
So he gathered many cultivators, and at the same time, he put a poison in the wine of Yi Yuan School called 'Power Dissipation Powder'. After all the preparations were done, this beast led the experts of Yi Yuan School to carry out a crazy massacre. Not only did he kill my father, but he also slaughtered nearly a hundred disciples of our sect overnight. Not even a single Immortal Beast was left. "
Speaking of this, although Situ Zhaixing was only a wisp of Spirit, Qin Haodong and Hu Xiaoxian could feel his shocking anger and crazy killing intent.
Qin Haodong asked, "Senior Situ, in this case, how did you survive?"
Situ Zhaixing sighed and said, "I showed a talent for cultivation that was far beyond ordinary people since I was a child. I was worthy of being the first genius in the sect.
"When I was one hundred years old, I left Yiyuan Sect in order to break through to the Yuanying Realm. I opened this Zhaixing Palace here and practiced alone in seclusion. Because of this, I survived. "This seclusion lasted for 30 years. When I came out again, Yiyuan Sect had been destroyed for more than ten years.
"When I heard the news, I was so angry that I directly killed Yongzheng in the capital."
Qin Haodong felt that he had received too much information today. He was shocked one after another. The death of Yongzheng had always been a mystery in history. At the age of 57, Yongzheng was not old and had always been very healthy. But suddenly there was news that he died of illness.
There were many legends about Yongzheng's death. The most popular one was that he was stabbed to death by Lyu Siniang. Now it seemed that he was stabbed to death, but the murderer was not Lyu Siniang, but Situ Zhaixing.
Hu Xiaoxian asked, "Senior Situ, what happened next?"
Situ Zhaixing said, "Yiyuan Sect helped the Qing Dynasty, but Yongzheng slaughtered the whole Yiyuan Sect. Killing him alone could not appease my anger, so I decided to destroy the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty and stop them from continuing."
"But at this time, a large number of masters under Yongzheng arrived. Although I had reached the Yuanying Realm, it was still difficult for me to fight against them alone. Even so, I took away the dragon head of the 12 zodiac animals at the risk of being seriously injured."
"Of course, it was also because Yongzheng did not know the secret of the 12 zodiac animals, so he transferred all the masters in the Summer Palace away, which gave me the opportunity." "The Rising Dragon Formation was operated by 12 Upper Level Spirit Stones. I took away a dragon head, so the Rising Dragon Formation was naturally broken and the so-called dragon vein was also destroyed."
"Later, I was chased by a large number of masters, so I escaped to the inaccessible Shennongjia and returned to Zhaixing Palace." "In order to prevent people from finding here, I set up four formations outside Zhaixing Palace and dug this basement."
"In order to make people believe that this is my last palace, I left the Nine-Dragon Tripod and some Spirit Stones outside to confuse the enemy."
"I also made a delicate mechanism in this basement. Anyone who can kowtow to me is definitely not an enemy, and has the chance to get the inheritance I left here."
Qin Haodong understood the whole story. It was because of Hu Xiaoxian's kowtow that the basement left by Situ Zhaixing was opened and his remains were seen. But now he did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse to be trapped here.
Situ Zhaixing continued, "It's a pity that I was seriously injured, more seriously than I thought. Soon after, I died in the cave. My biggest regret in this life is that I did not see the fall of the Qing Dynasty with my own eyes."
