The two old men entered the underground palace and were slightly shocked when they saw the words on the stone tablet.
Stepping into the second secret room, I saw the Daqian ruins with my own eyes, and my deep eyes were filled with shock. Who would have thought that the southern wasteland in the ancient world was actually the remains of a tomb of the Daqian Dynasty.
The old Taizu, dressed in simple cloth, glanced around the four palaces and immediately spotted Xiahou Jiang standing on top of the main hall in the air. He bowed and said, "Junior Mu Changkong, I have met Grand Master Daqian."
"Junior Gongsun Yuan."
Gongsun Yuan was dressed in linen clothes, holding a bamboo pole in his hand and saluting.
Xiahou Jiang pointed a finger, and a bridge started from the main hall and extended to the entrance of the underground palace.
Old Taizu and Gongsun Yuan looked at each other and stepped onto the bridge side by side.
Stepping on the bridge made of intertwined laws, the two of them lowered their heads and looked down at the underground palace. No words can describe the majesty of the underground palace, especially the clay sculptures of two hundred thousand Yin soldiers, which looked like sleeping lions.
One day, the lion will wake up, break through the underground palace, and see the sky again. At that time, the lion will stand between heaven and earth, intimidating all races. Who can stop it?
It is difficult to see the emotional fluctuations between the two people on the surface, but there is already a huge storm in their hearts.
Soon, the two of them reached the edge of the main hall and saw Xia Houjiang sitting on a wooden chair with a wooden table in front of him.
What surprised the two of them was that there were two teacups on the wooden table, with a few wisps of hot steam rising from the cups.
The moment they saw the tea on the table, their pupils suddenly widened, their bodies couldn't help but tremble, and they shouted inwardly: "Has anyone been here?"
Looking at the whole world, how many people can be asked to receive tea by Imperial Master Daqian?
The old Taizu of the Qijue Palace and the old man of the Gongsun Imperial Clan knew very well that they were not qualified. Although they were heroes and the top Mahayana saints in the world, they were far inferior to the one who once plotted against all races. Daqian Guoshi, the two sides are not on the same level at all.
"The bamboo in your hand must be Emperor Gongsun's treasure!"
Xiahou Jiang immediately noticed the bamboo pole in Gongsun Yuan's hand with an indifferent expression.
"yes."
Gongsun Yuan did not dare to hide anything and answered honestly.
It's not that Gongsun Yuan likes to show off, but the imperial weapon is extraordinary and ordinary space treasures cannot carry it. Furthermore, Gongsun Yuan failed to get the approval of the imperial weapon and could not put it into his body.
"It's a pity that it has lost its charm."
Gongsun Yuan sighed softly.
If the charm of the bamboo pole was still there, the Gongsun family would not be reduced to this, with only the grandfather and grandson left.
This bamboo pole was the hope for the rise of the Gongsun family. There were many forces who wanted to obtain the bamboo pole, but the Gongsun family avoided them. For this reason, Gongsun Yuan's own son died in the battle, leaving only an infant. grandson.
Therefore, Gongsun Yuan exhausted the last resources of his family, opened up a small world, took care of his grandson and taught him how to practice. Only this trace of blood was left in the Gongsun family. Gongsun Yuan did not want his grandson to enter the world easily, waiting for a The right time.
"In the old days of the war, Emperor Gongsun and I drank wine and discussed Taoism. The charm of this imperial weapon was broken by me."
Xia Houjiang seemed to be saying something insignificant, with a calm tone.
"What?"
Gongsun Yuan and Old Taizu suddenly raised their heads, very frightened.
"A glance at someone who has been there for many years seems like yesterday."
Seeing things and thinking about people, when Xia Houjiang saw the bamboo pole, he couldn't help but think of Emperor Gongsun who wanted to explore the path of spiritual practice. He knew that the path was difficult to achieve, but he still risked everything just to have a chance of survival.
"It is an honor for our ancestors to be able to discuss Taoism with the Imperial Master."
Gongsun Yuan did not dare to have the slightest hatred towards Xiahou Jiang, but only had deep awe.
"Oh?" Xia Houjiang: "Why did you say that?"
"The ancestor emperor left an ancient book of ancestral teachings and recorded a few words about the national master."
Gongsun Yuan said truthfully.
"Can you tell me something?"
Xiahoujiang sat on the wooden chair, picked up the fragrant tea on the table, and took a sip. Xiahoujiang was curious about this and wanted to know what Emperor Gongsun thought of him.
"The ancestor emperor left a record and said: I have discussed Taoism with Xiahou's imperial master for three years, and then I realized how vast the sky is and how vast the earth is. If I could have met the imperial master earlier, I might be able to reach the realm of the ultimate emperor in this life."
Gongsun Yuan spoke out the words in the ancient books without daring to say a word.
"Alas!" In a daze, Xia Houjiang seemed to have witnessed the regretful look on Emperor Gongsun's face when he left the message, and sighed softly: "When he met me, he was already in his old age, his energy and blood were withered, and his end was approaching. If his energy and blood were
At its peak, maybe we can really break through that barrier, get a glimpse of the true meaning of the Ultimate Way, and leave behind a myth."
Gongsun Yuan and the old Taizu were trembling and could not interrupt. When it came to the Gongsun Emperor millions of years ago, they were not at that level, so how could they dare to say anything.
However, through the conversation with Xiahou Jiang, the two old men became more in awe of Xiahoujiang.
According to records in the clan's classics, Daqian's Imperial Master did not ascend to the throne, but he had extraordinary power.
Just now Xiahou Jiang personally admitted that he was the one who destroyed the Gongsun family's imperial weapon.
For a complete imperial weapon, many emperors wanted to destroy it and had to pay a high price. The situation of this bamboo pole is even more special. There is no damage on the surface or inside, but it has lost its imperial charm.
The ability of Grand Master Daqian is really frightening and makes people unable to resist at all.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Xia Houjiang had just recovered and did not want to think too much about the past: "What is the purpose of your coming here?"
"This junior has admired the Imperial Master for a long time. Hearing that the Imperial Master has appeared in the Southern Wilderness, he wants to come and pay his respects."
The old Taizu cupped his fists and said.
"Me too."
Gongsun Yuan agreed.
"Pilgrimage is false, but pursuing bad luck is true."
Xia Houjiang broke through the window paper with a smile on his face.
The two old men were trembling, their bent waists were a little heavier, their lips were tightly closed, and they did not say a word, for fear of saying the wrong thing.
"The matter of luck is indeed my handiwork. However, since I have stolen the luck of all races, I will not return it. For millions of years, my human race has been oppressed in various ways, and I only take a ray of luck from all races as compensation.
It’s nothing.”
Xia Houjiang said bluntly.
"What the Imperial Master said makes sense."
The old Taizu nodded and said.
"The Gongsun family is in decline, and its luck has long been lost. Now even if part of it is lost, it doesn't matter."
Gongsun Yuan smiled bitterly.
"You are sensible and saved me the trouble of talking." Xia Houjiang smiled slightly.
The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Facing Daqian Imperial Master, if you don't know how to advance, retreat and etiquette, you don't know what the consequences will be.
"For the sake of both of you being sensible, I'll do the math for you!"
Xiahoujiang had interacted with Emperor Qijue and Emperor Gongsun before, and they were both enemies and friends. In addition, due to the thoughtful etiquette of Old Taizu and Gongsun Yuan, Xiahoujiang was in a good mood and did not mind calculating the cause and effect of the two clans.
