Bone Taoist

Chapter 857 Si Ming
The most bizarre thing that happened in Dayan Palace over the years was the death of Master Wuxiang.

In those days, the status of Wuxiang Zhenren in the Heavenly Palace was not low. However, later, because Ruan Xifeng betrayed his religion, this Zhenren, who had given Ruan Xifeng many advice on the magic of Qimen, was also implicated to a certain extent.

A master of a great religion died mysteriously, but Dayan Palace did not conduct much investigation. This shows the complexity of the matter. It seems that some forces suppressed the matter.

"What is the relationship between Shendu Mountain and Dayan Tiangong?" Ye Zang asked.

Wuxiang Daotong paused and sighed. He had left Dongsheng Shenzhou before his spiritual wisdom was awakened, so he didn't know much about the relationship, but he had heard some rumors, so he said, "Shendu Mountain, this force has been standing in Dongsheng for millions of years and has never fallen. It must have a close relationship with many great sects. This family is also very good at strange ways, especially forging weapons. They have visited Wuxiang Zhenren and Master Ruan many times."

This is why Wuxiang Taoist Boy is certain that the death of Zhenren is closely related to Shendu Mountain.

Because Shendu Mountain had a motive and a purpose, and the embryos cast by Wuxiang Zhenren in the past had disappeared, this made Wuxiang Taoist Boy even more suspicious of Shendu Mountain.

In the distance, the lake is sparkling. Under the sunlight, the waves are flying like broken diamonds, which is beautiful beyond words.

Luxurious palaces were built beside the lake. The group of disciples from Shendu Mountain flew into the air and disappeared after entering the most magnificent palace. It was unknown what they were talking about with the remnants of the Yan State here.

Ye Zang did not go in rashly, but just paced around casually, communicating with some Taoist merchants and casual cultivators, and occasionally chatting about Yancheng and other neutral forces.

In a teahouse standing by the lake, Ye Zang was having a pleasant conversation with several wandering cultivators.

Most of the independent cultivators here come from all over the world. They come to the central region mostly to seek stability, because among the five regions of Dongsheng Shenzhou, the central region is the most stable. There has been no war for many years, and the immortal and demon sects rarely cause disturbances here.

In the attic, three men and one woman gathered around the table. The aroma of spiritual incense was wafting in the air, and the scent of spiritual tea was overflowing, making people feel like they were in a spring breeze.

One of them was naturally Ye Zang.

The other three, one of them was named Tuoba Long, who was born in the Northern Wilderness but had lived in Dongsheng for hundreds of years.

The other two are brother and sister, named Jiang Li and Jiang Luo, both of them are independent cultivators who moved north from Dongsheng. The power of the demon sect in the north is relatively large, and it is said that it has gradually shown signs of unrest, and many people are fleeing to the outside.

These three people have all reached the Nascent Soul stage, which is the same as Ye Zang's currently hidden cultivation level. No matter where they are, only Taoists with similar cultivation levels can chat with each other.

"Yancheng has a long history. According to the scholars, it can be traced back to the era of the Nine Saints in ancient times. I don't know whether it is true or not." Tuoba Long said casually.

“There are a few ancient ruins in the city, but to say that the entire Yan City was inherited from ancient times is a bit of an exaggeration by those aristocratic families,” said Jiang Li.

"We are discussing this inappropriately, but don't let the people from the Dongfang family hear it." Jiang Luo said hurriedly.

The Dongfang family is naturally the ruler of Yancheng. According to themselves, they are descendants of the royal bloodline of the Great Yan Kingdom.

At the beginning, many people just turned a deaf ear to it, and most monks did not believe it.

However, hundreds of years ago, Dongfang Shu appeared. His blood returned to his ancestors and he had a very high talent for cultivation. He sat in Guanghan Holy Land and talked about Taoism, shocking everyone. Some time ago, he broke through the shackles of Hedao and became the city lord of Yancheng. "I heard that many disciples of Shendu Mountain have come to the city these days." Ye Zang took a sip of spiritual tea and said casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three people were stunned and remained silent for a few breaths.

Ye Zang was surprised to see them like this. Neither the great sects of immortals nor demons could put them in such a dangerous situation.

"Brother Xu, in the future when you are in Yancheng, you'd better not mention this family too much, so as not to cause trouble." Tuoba Long looked around and then concentrated.

Jiang Luo glanced around, as if he was using his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, and then he said: "Shendu Mountain is at the junction of the northwest. It is almost the oldest place in the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou. This sect is also very mysterious. The overall strength revealed in recent years is slightly inferior to the eight immortal sects and six demon sects, but we can't just rely on the surface."

Jiang Liyou then said: "In Dongsheng, even if you offend the Demon Sect, you should not provoke the bad luck of Shendu Mountain. The disciples of this family are very vengeful, and the clan is huge and very xenophobic."

"Brother Xu came from Southern Xinjiang, so he naturally doesn't know the secrets of Dongsheng. It was the same when I came to Dongsheng from Northern Wilderness. Here, you can have connections with both immortals and demons, but if you want to deal with the Sikong family in Shendu Mountain, you have to be extremely careful." Tuoba Long said solemnly.

"What do you mean?" Ye Zang frowned and asked.

He practiced Taoism for 800 years in his previous life, and the only place he had not been to was Dongsheng Shenzhou. He knew very little about this continent. The situation here was too complicated, and this ancient land was not as simple as the outside world thought.

"Brother Xu, is it the word 'Si Ming'?" Jiang Li asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zang shook his head.

Then, Jiang Li continued, "In ancient times, this was the god who controlled the world. Some ancient history books recorded that a large number of ancient Shenzhou cultivators communicated with the outer fairyland through Siming."

In ancient times, there were twenty-four fairylands outside the sky. At that time, the path to immortality was not yet cut off, and everyone in the world could practice to become an immortal.

In various places in the ten continents of the world, there are ascension platforms and spiritual roads to heaven, similar to the Tianlao Immortal Platform in Tianming Continent, the Immortal Platform on Penglai Island, the Renhuang Immortal Platform in southern Xinjiang, and so on.

However, in a certain ancient land in Dongsheng, the bridge connecting the world to the fairyland is the "Si Ming"

After hearing Jiang Li talk about these things, Ye Zang suddenly fell silent. He had never heard of such rumors before. In ancient times, there actually existed such spiritual ways and methods to ascend to heaven.

"Brother Jiang, what you mean is that the Sikong family of Shendu Mountain is the place where the ancient Sima Ming is passed down." Ye Zang asked.

"This is just speculation by some Dongsheng people. Shendu Mountain is very mysterious. Ever since the Sikong family occupied it, they have always maintained a neutral attitude. For countless years, both immortals and demons have tried every means to win them over, but they have never succeeded. Many years ago, even the fairies from the Guanghan Holy Land were turned away." Jiang Li said.

"I wonder what those disciples are planning when they come to Yancheng this time. Could it be that the East is going to start to become chaotic? Alas..." Jiang Luo shook his head.

The two brothers and sisters had just escaped from the north and did not want any more unrest. At that time, they could only leave Dongsheng and go to Nanjiang or Xijue to avoid the war.
