Before the military meeting starts in the Gange Hall, the magician guarding the door will hold up a long-handled mirror and conduct a security check on everyone participating in the meeting.
Embedded in the mirror is a big eyeball, which can glance at people and call the police. He Lingchuan saw it detect a person with eavesdropping powers, which can be said to be very effective.
Later, he fought with General Red and heard her talk about the origin of this eyeball, which was that it was cut out from a big demon named "Mulian".
This big monster has dozens of eyes all over its body, each of which has a magical function. The most basic magical power is the "eye of truth", which can not only see through magical powers, but also see through people's hearts. But it later betrayed the world, surrendered to the gods, and gave birth to immortals.
Huge losses were caused to people.
It is known that the great demon "Mu Lian" was later beheaded by the Great Returning Sect, and his iconic eyeballs were used to make many magic weapons, which still exist today.
At that time, He Lingchuan was curious: "Mu Lian can see through supernatural powers and see through people's hearts, how could he still be defeated?"
"The so-called 'Eye of Truth' is just a magical power. How can there be any magical power in the world that is eternal?" General Red told him, "I don't know the details, but I'm sure that the Great Return Sect has finally found a way to deceive it."
It seems that God Miaozhan also has a Moulian eye in his hand, and it is embedded in his magical weapon.
Considering that "Mu Lian" once surrendered to the enemy, it seems not surprising that the god would have its eyeballs in his hands.
This statue can be said to be very realistic.
Lao Ge had just lit several sticks of incense when he heard the voice and said, "Does it matter what it looks like? Gods are gods. Maybe gods have countless appearances." He Lingchuan smiled knowingly.
He had seen the corpses of gods in Xiqiao Palace City. The gods themselves were not like this at all. They could be said to be humanoid creatures, but some of them were not humanoid at all.
So Lao Ge was wrong. The appearance of the gods in the human world, that is, the statues of gods, is very important.
Taking on a human form will make it easier to be accepted by civilians.
His smile was noticed by Gao Jilin, and he immediately asked: "Brother He, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." This person seemed to be very concerned about his words and deeds. He Lingchuan responded vaguely. At this time, Lao Ge said again: "Didn't you notice that the incense of Miaozhan God is particularly strong?"
Only after his reminder did He Lingchuan notice that the incense burner in front of the statue of Miaozhantian was the largest and contained the most incense. Passing devotees did not need to worship other gods, but they would definitely give a stick of incense to Miaozhantian.
I really don’t dare to miss it if I pass by it.
Gao Jilin acted as a qualified admonition: "What's the truth?"
"Miaozhan God has the ability to distinguish between authenticity and right from wrong, and he will occasionally perform miracles and never make mistakes." Lao Ge put incense sticks on it. "Every time such a deed occurs, it will be praised and talked about by people."
.”
"Revealing a miracle?" He Lingchuan was curious, "Is it here?"
"Yes, it's right here." Lao Ge didn't dare to reach out and just pouted, "Just use this magic weapon!"
Magic weapon?
It refers to the scale in the hand of the Miao Zhantian statue? Isn't it just a golden eagle's knot? Is it really a magic weapon? He Lingchuan didn't feel any fluctuations in its magic power.
Is there really a treasure that dares to be placed in the Chongyang Hall? Isn’t it afraid that some kid will snatch it away?
That's all, it's none of his business.
He Lingchuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and looked carefully at the murals on the wall.
There are brick carvings or murals on every wall in the main hall. The contents are all about the deeds of the gods. They either fought against various opponents who looked like humans but not humans, looked like ghosts but not ghosts, or performed miracles to moisten the water and soil in all directions and benefit the people of the world.
Just looking at the painting and carving work, they are all of a palace-level standard and are treasures of art. He Lingchuan looked at the murals one by one, wanting to see if there were any magnificent portraits here.
Well, as expected, I didn't see it.
But he unexpectedly saw a statue of God - Tongming Zhenjun.
The statue is neither big nor small, the same height as a real person, and is placed on the left side of the hall.
The statue has a clear face, a high crown, and fluttering clothes, making it look like an ancient immortal.
When He Lingchuan saw it, his mood was very subtle.
Putting aside its entanglement with the He family, Tongming Zhenjun Ben
Most statues don't look like this, so why should their human form resemble that of an immortal?
The entire Chongyang Hall was magnificent, but after the initial shock, He Lingchuan felt that it was a bit dazzling after staying there for a long time. Because the smoke here was so thick that it was very hard on the eyes.
He heard Gao Jilin cough twice and asked Lao Ge: "When can we go out?" But the tourists lingered on, and some even grabbed a lot of incense and dipped each statue in the rain and dew.
"Why don't you worship for a while?" Lao Ge said to everyone, "Look at them coming all the way here just to ask divination and burn incense?"
Gao Jilin laughed and said, "We don't reward gods there."
"Oh, you don't know, right? People who come from your kind of place have to worship God fiercely." Lao Ge sneered. "The more severe the ban is in China, the more joyful it is to worship here. Look at this temple Sixty-seven out of ten people come from places where they don’t pay attention to God.”
Thinking that this was really the case, Gao Jilin had nothing to say and sighed.
"They still have to worship for a long time." Lao Ge asked He Lingchuan, "Don't you want to find the Naturalization Tower? If you have time now, I will take you there!"
He Lingchuan responded immediately.
Lao Ge also called a mandrill as a guard, and one man and two monkeys walked out of the temple. There is a small road on the side of Tianshu Peak, which can lead directly to the Naturalization Tower.
However, after He Lingchuan walked out of the Chongyang Hall, he discovered that Gao Jilin was following him: "Why is Brother Gao coming out? Where is Brother Jiang?"
"He is still worshiping inside." Gao Jilin pressed his forehead, "I have been there for a long time and the smoke is giving me a headache. Can I go with you?"
Going to the Naturalization Pagoda? He Lingchuan is a must. It was originally a public attraction, and Xushan did not refuse tourists to go there.
The trail was slippery, in disrepair, and covered with thin ice, making it difficult to walk.
Fortunately, the monkey didn't mind, He Lingchuan didn't feel embarrassed, and Gao Jilin seemed to have some cultivation skills, so he didn't walk any slower than them.
He is a curious baby: "What is this naturalization tower? It sounds old." Lao Ge likes to jump on the rocks on the edge of the cliff and climb on the good trails. "Thankfully you are asking me. Others may not know about this Naturalization Tower. It is a memorial tower for the Great Reunion Sect. When the traveling disciples died in a foreign land and their bodies and souls could not return, they might ask relatives and friends to send tokens and relics to the Naturalization Tower to comfort the souls of the deceased."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Jilin's next sentence made He Lingchuan look at him with suspicion: "Why are you still here today?"
Although Lingxu City is open to the public, most of the buildings of Dahuanzong were destroyed by the war six hundred years ago. The subsequent reconstructions also selectively restored part of the landscape. Most of the ruins are either dilapidated or only broken tiles and ruins remain.
, accompanied by desolate grass.
But the Naturalization Tower has not been rebuilt. Why was it not bulldozed by the Northern Demon Kingdom in the first place? Lao Ge shrugged: "I don't know. This thing is not conspicuous, so there is probably no need to bulldoze it, right?"
The Naturalization Tower was built on a low hill 200 feet away and was blocked by several peaks. If it weren't for Lao Ge who led the way, He Lingchuan would never have been able to find this place.
There are still some ruins of buildings on this low hill, and the base seems to be quite large, but now there are only a few ruins of walls left, and the masonry scattered among the grass has been corroded into disgrace.
On the contrary, the naturalization tower sitting on the stone platform looks intact.
This is a nine-story stone pagoda. It is short and fat. The carvings are so simple that they are almost crude. Not to mention compared with the Tiangong buildings, even the pagodas on the ground are far inferior. Some parts have obvious traces of digging with knives and axes.
It was later polished. And the height was only nine feet. He Lingchuan stood on tiptoes and stretched out his hands, maybe he could reach the top of the tower.
Now look at the base, which is integrated with the stone platform - it turns out that it was carved from the natural protruding rocks here. The tower body has no sculptures, no figures, and no portraits, but it is full of small holes, and the wind blows in and out.
, with a strange whining sound.
With such a slovenly appearance, it’s no wonder that the Northern Demon Kingdom didn’t have the motivation to bulldoze it.
At first glance, it looks like a random sacrificial pagoda set up outside a deserted village.
There is only one hole in the front that can accommodate people's hands, which is probably the entrance to the second floor of the stone tower.
While looking at the Naturalization Tower, Gao Jilin asked He Lingchuan: "Brother He, why are you here?"
"I was entrusted by someone to send his relics to the tower." He Lingchuan took out the turtle charm from the storage ring and sent it into the naturalization tower through the hole.
"Entrusted by someone?" Gao Jilin was moved, "Could it be that he is an immortal?"
It seems that the tower has been aged for a long time. Who would leave it behind for no reason?
"Maybe. I entered a cave, and the owner there left a suicide note and a token for me to return here." There is nothing to hide. Immortal ruins are often found in the human world.
"Brother He, you really believe in people and sent them back all the way."
"It's just on the way. I originally wanted to visit Lingxu City." When He Lingchuan said this, his eyes narrowed.
He was about to turn around and leave, but something suddenly slipped out of the Naturalization Tower:
Turtle symbol.
Why did it fall out?
He stuffed the turtle charm back into the tower.
Under the gaze of four pairs of eyes, the turtle charm slipped out again.
He looked sideways, did the tower have an angle? Lao Ge laughed and said, "Isn't it right?"
He Lingchuan scratched the back of his neck and felt troubled: "The suicide note only said that I should send it home, but it didn't say how to deliver it. Are there any rules in this?"
The last sentence is to ask Lao Ge.
It also had a confused look on its face. This question was clearly out of scope: "I don't know. I'll ask you after I get down from the mountain and see how others got there."
The mandrill behind him made an angry sound: "Maybe the tower refuses to accept it."
Gao Jilin couldn't help but said: "Perhaps the owner of this turtle charm is not very popular with the Great Reunion Sect and doesn't want it to be naturalized into the pagoda?"
It seems, it seems, maybe there is some rift between Master Dongli and Da Huanzong, otherwise how could he end up sitting alone in the wild?
He Lingchuan patted the Naturalization Tower.
If you say you won’t harvest it, then you won’t. The weeds here are taller than the top of the tower. Are they still so arrogant?
"That's all." He put the turtle charm into his arms, "Don't pull it down."
The things have been brought, but the Naturalization Tower refuses to accept them. Master Dongli can't blame him, right? Alas, poor Master Dongli. They say fallen leaves return to their roots, but his own sect still rejects him.
