It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

But there are still too few clues. If it weren't for the many stories that her mother told her about the reign of Emperor Taiwang before she left... those stories that were not even recorded on the secret stone tablets and had long been forgotten in the past, she would have had no way of knowing them.

"Sister, do you have any idea?"

Xia Li shook his head.

"Let's follow the crowd into the city first, Chan'er, we can't cause any trouble here."

After she finished speaking, she added one more sentence.

His expression was solemn.

This place is different from the imperial capital Chiyang. With Chan'er's lively personality, Shengsheng is afraid that she will cause trouble.

"I'm awake~."

Si Xin rolled her eyes at her sister.

Could it be that I can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant? I usually act like a fool just to take advantage of Xia Li. This is a place where I can be so unruly. Wouldn't that hurt others and myself?

——Tsk! What a fool my elder sister is. I guess deep down in her heart she still thinks of Chan Er as the naughty little sister.

——His cultivation is obviously higher than hers.

"Let's go."

Seeing her unconvinced look, Xia Li smiled softly. Then he held Chan'er's hand and followed the crowd to the city gate...

this moment.

She was glad that Chan'er had been with her after she came in, otherwise she would have been unable to cope with this unfamiliar environment with unpredictable and unknown dangers lurking around.

Let’s not talk about anything else.

Take all the demons, ghosts and monsters passing by right now, for example, none of them are ordinary people!

in short......

Even the weakest one around, a pet cat held in the arms of a rich lady, had reached the fifth level of the Inquiry Realm.

"Eh~."

When Shengsheng saw other people’s cats, he suddenly remembered that he had one too.

She risked her life to protect her master and save Shengsheng, but of course it was Chichan who ended up killing her. What was her name? It's been more than a thousand years and I can't remember her name.

Well~, Shengsheng was just joking.

But that’s where the thought ends.

Shengsheng still glanced at the Pixiu cat that had been sleeping for a thousand years in the brocade painting.

——Oh, not dead yet.

The other party was like a dying person who was frozen in time, and time seemed unable to flow into the candle treasure.

......

"Wow, it's so lively——"

After passing the inspection at the city gate, the two sisters entered the city smoothly.

They were not carrying any merchandise, so they did not have to pay an entry fee and were simply let through after a routine inspection.

otherwise.

The two sisters don't have the equivalent exchange items circulated in Yanzheng City, the stone coins that are processed with special technology and full of fire energy. Maybe they will have to use some despicable means of deception...

This deviates from Shengsheng's original intention of not wanting to cause trouble.

Step into this holy city that only appeared in rumors.

The two were immediately amazed by the prosperity before their eyes. Even Shengsheng, who had seen neon cities that were equally or even more gorgeous than this one, could not help but be moved.

Because apart from those scenes before the return of the earth buried in her memory, this was the first time she saw prosperity and bustle that could rival it in this era!

If the blooming flowers are like this, they will never appear again after so many years...

——A prosperous and peaceful era.

This is the most appropriate description of what I saw and heard.

Even Shengsheng had personally experienced such lively events as the Ten Thousand Swords Gathering and the Qingyan Celebration in the Jufang era; when he came to the Midsummer era, he was also invited to participate in such jubilant activities as the Immortal Questioning Ganoderma Lucidum and the Ice and Snow Celebration among other races.

All these things are not even half as exciting as what is happening right now...

"Sister, is there no movement on the secret slate?"

"Ah."

The legendary Yanzheng City was so prosperous that the two sisters couldn't help but wander around for a while.

of course.

It's not that they want to go shopping.

The main reason is that the stone slabs have been silent since entering the city. The magnificent light that was enough to cover Shengsheng before is no longer there. It seems to have returned to its ordinary appearance when Feng and Grandma first handed it to Shengsheng.

"So what do we do now?"

"Just wandering around like this? Hmm... Chan'er doesn't mind. I love shopping and playing with my sister the most. Hehe..."

talking.

Si Xin simply leaned her head on Sheng Sheng's shoulder and rubbed it.

This action attracted many passers-by's attention.

"Alright, alright, stop messing around."

"So many people are looking at this, you... eh?!"

Shengsheng suddenly stopped talking.

Si Xin followed her gaze out of curiosity, and saw that she was looking at a very solemn building at the end of the road...

"The [Rain Master] Shrine?"

She heard her sister's whispers and saw her expression gradually changing.

Chapter 38: Is the Rain Master the same Rain Master that Sheng Sheng knows?

The Rain Master is one of the Twelve Immortal Officials.

The four great immortals along with the Queen of Gods, Xiao Ji, and Da Ji.

There is a special record in the ancient book "Liqi Jiunianbian" that the four immortal leaders are different from the other eight immortal officials... Since the day they were granted the mission by the star and succeeded to the immortal official, they will never leave the temple they guard.

The four great shrines.

It was not established by the Shengxia Dynasty, but existed during the earlier Inti Dynasty. It was built under the personal supervision of an ancient powerful being, and contains many unimaginable mysteries!

According to legend, if one knows even a tiny bit of those mysteries, one will no longer be bound by the rules of heaven and earth, and will move forward unstoppably to the end of the road and directly reach the Eight Realms of Taoism.

pity......

No one ever knew.

However, this kind of great secret that is closely related to the path to immortality is so important that even if someone knew about it, they would probably just keep it a secret and make a fortune.

"Liqi Old Years Compilation".

It was compiled during the Liqi period by Emperor Gelan of the Zunlu clan, who invited scholars from all ethnic groups in the world to pool their contributions. All the records in it respect historical facts and have been repeatedly researched.

Emperor Gelan was the 45th Emperor Nuwa, and also the last Emperor Nuwa of the Zunlu clan to rule the world.

She was quite lucky. When she succeeded to the throne, the world was peaceful and the human race had many strong men...

She herself had no interest in becoming a monastic, but unfortunately she was the only daughter of Emperor San, so he had to pass the throne to her.

After getting the Mingjin Pot, Digelan did not immediately advance to the Divine Mind Realm like many other Wa emperors.

Instead, his own cultivation was stuck at the seventh level of Taiyi and could not go any further.

During the Liqi period, except for the four immortal leaders, the eight great immortal officials were all present...so no outside race dared to have any disloyalty. Di Gelan put all his attention on exploring ancient sites and tracing the historical civilizations of the past.

Especially the eternal holy city, Yanzheng City, which mysteriously disappeared during the great catastrophe.

This has always been the secret she has tried every means to find out!

This person is not a qualified Wahuang...

but.

He is an excellent and extremely professional archaeologist and historian.

She led the compilation and left behind the "Liqi Old Years Compilation", which is the only way for later generations of Queen Nuwa and scholars to understand the ancient times, especially the history that was interrupted by Emperor Taiwang!

Talk about it.

Shengsheng knows so much now, thanks to the other party.

Unfortunately, the "Liqi Old Years Chronicle" is incomplete, but fortunately, before coming to the Central Region this time, she had a long talk with her mother by candlelight... and had a certain degree of understanding of Emperor Taiwang, the disappeared ancient holy city and other ancient history.

in fact.

Xia Li has almost figured out some of the current situation, and also has some guesses about the magnificent holy city of Yanzheng City where he is currently located, which remain to be confirmed.

After entering the city, although I only accompanied Chan'er shopping for most of the afternoon, she was always observing everything around her, and repeatedly thinking about the current situation in her mind.

The secret stone tablet led them here...

As day and night alternated, the moment the fog dissipated, Yanzheng City, which had disappeared for 30,000 years, suddenly appeared before them.

At that moment, I was naturally shocked.

But after digesting it, Shengsheng has adjusted her mentality. She has a bold inference... everything in front of her, the environment she is in, and everything she has experienced are by no means illusory.

This conjecture does not only come from its own derivation.

On the other hand, there is also very strong evidence, that is - the Brocade Picture!

As one of the nine candle treasures, the Brocade Picture has been lying quietly in Sheng Sheng's spiritual platform since the three disasters.

From my perspective, this picture doesn't seem to have any terrifying power.

Compared to Xiu Huangqin's twin swords that threaten life and death at every turn, Ming Jin Hu, the 'Supreme Edition' that can kill at will even if it doesn't kill immortals, and Xuan Lun Yin, which can change the world line at the slightest disagreement...

It seems very ordinary and general.

But as the other party's master, Shengsheng is aware of his power.

It is a great power similar to the silent and gentle power of jade. Although the picture is unmatched in terms of treasures, it contains four objects - Tianyuzhi, Guyun Umbrella, Shenju Xiao, Jinxiu Long, especially the last one, Jinxiu Long.

It is definitely an existence that can directly challenge other Zhubao!

In Shengsheng's understanding, Jinxiutu is actually more like a gourd vine. The vine itself is ordinary, but the gourd is amazing! The gourd is the real thing!

Therefore.

His own Taoist body is Shengsheng created by Tian Yuzhi. With the help of Zhu Bao, he is sure that everything before his eyes is real.

Then, there is only one answer... Even if this answer is too unbelievable, but after eliminating all the impossibilities, the remaining one is correct no matter how bizarre it is.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? You suddenly stopped talking..."

"The slate is responding again."

Xia Li explained to Huanchan in a low voice.

"...It seems to have some resonance with that shrine."

The so-called shrine is naturally the [Rain Master] shrine in front of the two sisters.

The shrine was built in an unknown year in ancient times, and there is no monument with inscriptions on it, so the "Rikushijiuni Nianbian" also links the names of the four major shrines with the guardianship of each shrine.

They are now in the southern part of Yanzheng City, so the shrine in front of them must be guarded by the "Rain Master" among the four immortals...

"Sister, do you want to go in and take a look? But there are many soldiers guarding it. It doesn't look like a public area."

"Ask first."

Since it could make the secret stone tablet react, Xia Li would never let go of this clue.

She sensed it a little bit, and the four rows of soldiers wearing light armor and looking solemn were not easy to deal with. The weakest among them were all in the sixth realm of Taoism. The leaders of the four rows of soldiers were all Taiyi cultivators, and there was even a Daluo...

——Ah, let me ask the Daluo Immortal to guard the door.

Shengsheng felt a chill in his heart.
