On a winding path, two thin figures, one big and one small, were walking one behind the other. The two were walking fast, the former was the better, with an expressionless face, which looked particularly weird. The latter was just
Just follow the former's footsteps.
The two of them crossed most of the Shadow Clan, and when they reached somewhere, the Shadow King began to stop moving forward, stopped, and looked at him with a hint of respect.
A scent of sandalwood hit his nostrils. Immediately, Yingxuan slowly raised his drooping head. Then, a majestic ancient palace slowly fell into view. The periphery of the hall was dyed red gold with dark golden glazed tiles.
Two nine-tailed crystal foxes carved from amethyst stood proudly in front of the door, which were lifelike. The empty purple eyes seemed to be missing something, but they couldn't tell what was missing. On the huge plaque made of ebony wood
, dragons and phoenixes are engraved with a few words.
"ShadowClan Ancestral Hall"
The Shadow Emperor looked at the ancestral hall complicatedly, and stood outside the ancestral hall in deep thought for a while. Immediately, he turned around resolutely, looked at Yingxuan with his dark eyes, and said slightly hoarsely: "Come in with me."
After leaving a word indifferently, Yinghuang ignored Yingxuan and walked into the smoke-filled ancestral hall. Yingxuan looked at Yinghuang, feeling like he was looking at a stranger, and then touched the back of his head with his little hand, and said
Question mark in brain.
"Dad, what's wrong today? It feels so strange. Forget it, let's go in and take a look first."
Immediately, looking at the Ying Emperor who had already entered the ancestral hall, Ying Xuan also slowly stepped into the lobby.
"This is? Pure black wood fragrance?"
As soon as you enter the lobby, puffs of light smoke with the fragrance of sandalwood slowly envelope Yingxuan, as if to drive away all the smell that does not belong to sandalwood, leaving the most original fragrance.
The so-called sunspot wood incense is actually made from the petals of a strange ancient tree, the sunspot tree. The petals of the sunspot tree are shaped like pine leaves, coreless, and grow on the branches of the sunspot tree. The flowers smell like sandalwood.
, but it is more elegant than sandalwood, so it is extremely popular and is often used for sacrifices. Moreover, it only blooms in early summer every year, and each sunspot tree has only a hundred or so petals.
It is rare. Therefore, the sunspot wood incense on the market is not pure. Most of it is made from the sunspot wood flower and other precious flowers. Even so, the impure sunspot wood incense is still valuable.
Smelling the faint fragrance of black wood, Yingxuan slowly walked towards the depths of the hall. He saw the indifferent Yinghuang, facing a long table with countless rankings, holding three pillars in his hands.
Kuroko Muxiang closed her eyes slightly and worshiped respectfully. Then, the Shadow Emperor went through a lot of cumbersome etiquette.
After a long time, the Shadow Emperor finally finished the tedious seasons. Looking at Ying Xuan, he was bored and kept yawning. Immediately, the Shadow Emperor slowly turned around. His dark eyes gently looked at the yawning Ying.
Xuan, said in a deep voice: "Yingxuan, come here and put some incense."
"oh."
Hearing this, Yingxuan slowly walked forward, took over the position that the Shadow Emperor had just taken, casually took the Heizi Muxiang handed over by the Shadow Emperor, followed the routine that the Shadow Emperor had just done, and respectfully placed a stick of incense on it.
After completing a series of cumbersome etiquette, Ying Xuan was about to stand up, but was forced back by the Ying Emperor's cold words.
"Bastard, did I wake you up?"
Hearing this, Yingxuan was a little helpless, and then smiled bitterly and said: "Dad, I've already done my worship, why do you still need me to kneel down?"
"Hmph, brat. I want you to promise me not to become a spiritual master in front of the ancestors of my Shadow Clan." The Shadow Emperor looked at Yingxuan with a complicated expression and said solemnly.
"Uh..." Yingxuan heard the Shadow Emperor say the three words "spiritual world master". Cold sweat suddenly fell down, and he immediately said: "Dad... what are you talking about? What is the spiritual world master? I don't know."
,have no idea."
"Humph, you brat. If you're still pretending like this, aren't you asking Xinye to borrow thunder just because you want to wake up that small piece of spiritual realm in your head?" The Shadow Emperor said solemnly, his eyes never leaving Yingxuan's figure. "
Do you think I haven’t discovered the extra field in your mind? For so many years, I have only emphasized that you practice spiritual power just to prevent you from practicing as a spiritual master."
"Dad, why don't you allow me to practice as a spiritual master?" Yingxuan said with a calm expression.
"Spirit World Master... This is indeed a very glorious profession for the outside world." Immediately, the Shadow Emperor looked at the countless spirit tablets in front of him and sighed: "But, we can't do it."
"why not."
"Because we are the Shadow Clan, a race that cannot cultivate spiritual power." The Shadow Emperor looked at Yingxuan with a solemn face, and then he held his hand, and a dark black scroll slowly emerged, and then slowly threw it at Yingxuan, and said.
: "See for yourself. This is the personal record of some of the most talented members of our Shadow Clan throughout the ages. Look at how they all died."
Hearing this, Ying Xuan didn't say much. He then slowly opened the scroll in front of the Ying Emperor and read it softly.
"Shadow Dragon. The eighth generation leader of the Shadow Clan. He was a spirit seal from the Nine Origins and Three Qi. He was thirty-five years old. The cause of death was dual cultivation in the spirit world."
"..."
"Ying Qian. The thirty-eighth generation leader of the Shadow Clan, one source and one spirit sealed. He was twenty-five years old. The cause of death was dual cultivation in the spirit world."
"He is your grandfather." The Shadow Emperor said in a hoarse voice.
"What? Grandpa? I remember you never mentioned him." Yingxuan held the scroll and said softly.
"That year, I was only five years old. I will never experience that scene. Your grandfather's head was swollen to death by the violent mental energy." The Shadow Emperor's eyes were red and he said slightly hoarsely. "Now you know why I don't let you practice.
Have you become a spiritual master? A spiritual master is really not suitable for us."
"Dad, I think I can cultivate both in the spiritual world." Yingxuan looked at the history of blood and tears in his hand, looked at the Shadow Emperor firmly, and said calmly.
"No, spiritual masters have always been a taboo for our Shadow Clan. Why do you want to touch them?" the Shadow King still said in a deep voice.
"I can do it." Yingxuan still said in a low voice.
"...What confidence do you have in cultivating a spiritual master?" After a long silence, the Shadow King said hoarsely again.
"Um... I'm sorry, dad, I can't tell you. Anyway, as long as you know, I can succeed, I can break the curse of the Shadow Clan not being able to practice as a spiritual master." Yingxuan looked at the Shadow Emperor with deep eyes, and his language was abnormal.
firm.
Hearing this, the Shadow Emperor looked closely at Yingxuan and said in a deep voice: "Promise me that if you feel uncomfortable, you will immediately stop practicing as a spiritual master."
"Uh..." Hearing the sudden concession of the Shadow Emperor, Yingxuan felt as if he had heard a miracle. He immediately kowtowed to the Shadow Emperor and said in a deep voice: "My son will definitely be able to break this curse."
The Shadow King took a deep look at Ying Xuan who was kneeling on the ground, then slowly turned his back, and a hoarse voice slowly came out.
"Go ahead..."
Hearing this, Yingxuan stood up resolutely and walked outside with heavy steps.
"Dad, don't worry. I will definitely be able to break the curse that the Shadow Clan cannot practice as a spiritual master."
