The Old Gods Are Whispering

Professor Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, I have to let you see the evidence."

This old man is used to reading and writing on the balcony. There is a table case made of agarwood on the balcony. There are brushes and inkstones on the table. In the center of the window sill is a Buddhist shrine, and the golden ancient Buddha looks compassionate.

He turned the Buddha statue with both hands, and a hidden space popped up under the altar: "This is a piece of bronze wood found in the barren ancient world of gods after the world of order launched a war against Fuso Shrine at the end of the last century. It was in ancient times, Suzaku The ancient gods of the clan are used to record the carrier of history, and they recorded in detail a period of history as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties of our country. You also know that Chu vulgar respects the phoenix and red, worships fire and worships the sun, and likes witches and ghosts."

In the dark cell is a section of ancient bronze wood.

Since it looks like bronze, it can smell the aroma of wood, which is quite magical.

"This is because in the land of Chu, there were three ancient supreme beings who appeared."

Professor Cheng caressed the strange lines on the bronze wood, and said softly: "Candle Dragon, Suzaku, Qilin."

Gu Jianlin said in a low voice, "So there are three..."

Coincidentally, the ones who have gone the farthest on the third method are also these three supreme beings.

Candle Dragon and Suzaku are both Candlelight series.

However, Bai Ze and Xuan Ming are far behind in the practice of the third method.

No, this may not be a coincidence.

"Yes, you figured it out."

Professor Cheng showed him the totem engraved on the bronze wood, and explained meaningfully: "I told you just now, you can also become the original. Not only you, Venerable Candle Dragon, Venerable Suzaku, all It is possible to become the original. However, Venerable Bai Ze and Venerable Xuan Ming do not have this opportunity."

Gu Jianlin was taken aback: "Because the consciousness of the Zhuzhao God Tree is still there, it has been eating away at this world for thousands of years, so it is almost perfect, and this is precisely the origin of the doomsday theory. The possibility of replacing it! The reason why the Supreme of the Youying family can't do it is because the lotus of Youying is dead!"

As for the totem recorded on the bronze wood, it is roughly an ancient war. The phoenix flowing with flames is entrenched on the top of the sky. His blood dyes the sea red like magma. There is red blood flowing inside, and in the distance is an ancient dragon that runs through the sky and the earth. The majestic and enchanting lines are looming in the mist, and the peerless majesty and desolation are rendered together, which is so beautiful that it is suffocating.

Of course, the bronze wood is incomplete, and the authentic works should be murals painted on ancient trees.

Just the tip of the iceberg of this mural, one can feel the unparalleled violence and tearful sadness, the vastness and mystery of ancient times, which makes people tremble.

"Your mind is sharp."

Professor Cheng glanced at him approvingly: "This is the difference between the Supremes. The Supremes who first descended on the earth did not break out internal fighting, but unanimously fought against each other. So you can see that the ancient gods of the Qiongqi clan have almost disappeared. Extinct, that's because they were all buried in the gate of hell, and they couldn't even be resurrected."

"It's a pity that in the long history, Venerable Zhulong and Venerable Suzaku have different ideas, because they feel the will and state of Zhuzhao Divine Tree, and have... the idea of ​​​​replacing it."

He hesitated for a moment: "This is the president's statement, and there is no evidence yet. Of course, in a sense, this is already ironclad proof, because she is the first person in the evolution chain of the law of candlelight .”

Instead!

Gu Jianlin's thoughts were like a storm, and many forgotten details flashed through his mind.

Why is Venerable Qilin so angry, and who is the person he wants to take revenge on.

Why did he take the initiative to reveal the secrets of the ancient gods to humans, which eventually led to being feared by the same kind.

The bad woman once said that Qilin is the most unpredictable supreme being, and his personality is extremely bad. It is not impossible for you to say that he once disguised as the grandfather in the ring and helped the ancient human sages, He also likes to slaughter his own clan when he has nothing to do. From time to time, he will fake his death once to fish for law enforcement.

Why all this.

Because Venerable Qilin's resentment is directed at the two originals, it is very likely.

After the paradox of Venerable Qilin was born, the original secret was revealed.

God Youying was killed because of this.

But the God of Candlelight took root in the earth.

The only fuse of the war in the ancient times was the Candlelight God.

Venerable Qilin usurped the Candlelight Divine Tree and allowed him to take root in his Ancient God Realm, which is the biggest bargaining chip!

"Three thousand and six hundred years ago, Venerable Suzaku did not take advantage of the battle that broke out in Chu land. Venerable Zhulong actually did not take advantage of the battle in the East China Sea more than two thousand years ago. .”

Professor Cheng seemed to see through his thoughts, and sighed: "Because Venerable Qilin and Venerable Qiongqi are the supreme beings born of the third power, their greatest advantage is that they can reverse their own origin. He can be the Candlelight System, It can also be a ghost type, or both, they have the right to choose."

Gu Jianlin suddenly realized: "The reason why Venerable Qiongqi came to Earth is to replace Yuanyuan!"

Professor Cheng hummed: "Exactly."

"It was not so easy to deal with in the beginning. Throughout the ages, whether it is human beings or ancient gods, there have been people who have been eroded by the law of candlelight. They hide in the dark side of the world and influence the course of history."

Professor Cheng glanced at him: "You have met them before, haven't you?"

Gu Jianlin nodded: "That was a weird ceremony."

The corner of Professor Cheng's mouth curled up slightly: "I have also encountered it, and it is more advanced than the ceremony you encountered."

Gu Jianlin frowned: "How did you escape?"

Professor Cheng glanced at him: "Who told you that I hid?"

At this moment, Gu Jianlin felt cold all over his body.

No matter what, I never thought that the other party was a member of that group of people!

In his eyes, the old man in front of him twisted like a demon, and was terrifying like a ghost.

He almost drew his knife.

It was just the old man's next sentence that made him calm down.

"Fifty years ago, I was their puppet, and I did many shady things behind my back. Looking back on that experience now, I feel as if I have been possessed by a demon, and I am insane."

Professor Cheng laughed at himself and said: "Fifty years later, I wake up like a dream."

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment: "What day?"

Professor Cheng gave him a meaningful look: "The day the president died."

Gu Jianlin's heart moved slightly.

"People in the world have misunderstood Taihua. She has always been the kind of woman who loves children very much. In a sense, the ending she chose for herself in the end is also for you. Taihua's dedication in this life, perhaps Much more than you thought. Fortunately, you didn't let her down until the end."

Professor Cheng suddenly said: "This is why I am willing to answer everything for you."

Gu Jianlin lowered his head and touched his heart, only feeling that the softest part of his heart was touched.

The string of Buddhist beads on his wrist shone slightly in the night, as if there was a faint warmth.

"How did the president do it?"

he asked curiously.

"How you young people did it, that's how she did it."

Professor Cheng said with a half-smile, "She once gave me the blood of heaven."

Heaven's blood!

That was the prescription that Ji Xiaoyu found in Buzhou Mountain when she was a child.

In the end, with the inheritance left by Xu Fu, an extremely special spiritual secret medicine was reproduced.

Its function is to be able to remove mental pollution!

"The president used the blood of heaven as the model, supplemented by her knowledge of the law of candlelight, and liberated me. It's ridiculous that many years ago, I thought I had covered it up well, but she had discovered it long ago."

Professor Cheng said: "Because I also practiced the Law of Candlelight before."

Gu Jianlin sat on the chair and stared at the old man: "Then?"

"Unfortunately it failed."

Professor Cheng said quietly: "I think that most people like me may have encountered similar things, which are so-called curses. In fact, where are there so many curses in the world? It's nothing more than people pretending to be ghosts. That’s all. At first, what I heard was ravings, and then I began to have hallucinations, sometimes I saw ancient trees covering the sky, and sometimes I fantasized that I was a plant and worshiped the sun.”

"During that time, my mental state was very abnormal. I believed in the ancient tree that I saw in my hallucinations. After reading countless materials, I found out his name. The Great God of Candlelight, the main deity I believe in is the Great God of Candlelight. My body and spirit were born for him, and in order to discover his secrets, I am willing to die."

He paused: "For the sake of enlightening the Great God, I can also do evil."

Gu Jianlin stared into his eyes and paused every word: "What do you mean by evil?"

"That experiment."

Professor Cheng said in a low voice: "In the process of studying Zhuzhao, I have touched the field of the third method. I know very well that if I want to achieve the glory of Zhuzhao God, I must realize the third method. Unfortunately, although I He is the world's leading master of alchemy, but he knows nothing about this forbidden art of the gods."

"Until one day, I got a document by accident. I knew that the document was not accidental, but someone deliberately sent it to me. People in this world who have the same beliefs as me know that I am looking for What, even willing to help. Only then did I know who is ruling the world.”

He explained in detail: "That document came from Taiqing's research. Yes, Taiqing, the previous president. At that time, Taiqing had been dead for many years. People of the same path. Based on that secret document, I secretly started research on the third law."

Not long ago, he was still a scholar, patiently explaining history to younger generations.

At this moment, he was sitting on the wooden chair, gazing at the brightly lit night scene with lonely eyes.

The lonely back is like a sinner who silently atones in the dark.

Gu Jianlin's eyes became sharper: "Thunder?"

"Yes, the tradition of the Central Spiritual Seminary is to select outstanding children and send them to the Wedge of Heaven and Man, in order to test their degree of resonance with the Law of Candlelight. Those individuals who are good enough will become candidates for Heaven and Man Geniuses like Lei Ting and the Prince will be able to master the Law of Candlelight in the future. We just use this opportunity to conduct experiments on these children and transplant the source quality of the third law into their bodies."

Professor Cheng didn't describe the specific details, but from the trembling and struggling in his eyes, he could see how insane what they did back then, so that he needed to gasp for breath after he finished speaking.

It's like using all the strength in your body.

"I didn't think I had the courage to say that to you."

He breathed a sigh of relief and even laughed: "It seems that my face is much thicker than I thought. Maybe it's because I'm getting older. Or maybe it's because I'm facing you instead of being victimized." By."

"If possible, I will let Tang Ling stand in front of you and listen to you."

Gu Jianlin said expressionlessly: "Maybe Xia Zhi can do it."

Professor Cheng smiled silently.

"What is the source of matter?"

Gu Jianlin asked.

"The source of matter is the strange mist that fills the air when you cast the third method."

Professor Cheng sighed: "If the children implanted with the essence cannot bear it, their souls will be torn apart."

I thought that after he said these words, the boy opposite would be angry or violent.

Whether it was picking up his collar and questioning him in a growl, or cutting off his head with a knife.

At least there should be some reaction.

It's a pity that Gu Jianlin was calm and indifferent from beginning to end.

"That experiment cannot be completed by you alone."

He suddenly asked: "You have helpers, right?"

"Yes, but if you want a list, I can't help you."

Professor Cheng shook his head and said: "The person who is closest to the original is very cautious. The believers I see are almost different every time. I once checked their real identities, but unfortunately they were all dead. For Order In this world, death is a normal thing, and there are too many reasons to cover up the past."

Gu Jianlin didn't know what language to use to express his feelings.

Candles illuminate believers.

Throughout the ages, those who believe in Zhuzhao have hidden in the darkness of the world and controlled the process of history. They even created the world of order. This is not an organization, but an aggregation of beliefs, even an ideology, and it is so huge that it is unimaginable.

The world you thought was always under their shadow.

It's like "The Truman Show" where everything you see and know is arranged.

If it weren't for the appearance of some knowledgeable people, the world would still be kept in the dark.

For example, Qing and Chi back then were hunted endlessly.

And the person who killed them was precisely their teacher!

Too clear!

"Was Taiqing once one of them?"

Gu Jianlin pondered: "Who is the person closest to Zhuzhao?"

Professor Cheng raised his eyes and looked at him, and said seriously: "I told you that the original can be replaced, because Zhu Zhao's self-awareness has been problematic since ancient times. The president also used his supreme power to Sealing it will indeed prevent Zhuzhao's followers from continuing to expand, but the problem is... Zhuzhao's self-consciousness may also have fallen into a deep sleep. This just gives someone a chance to truly usurp Him."

Gu Jianlin was stunned.

"There is someone else who really uses the curse of the Zhuzhao Sacred Tree to control the unified will."

Professor Cheng said in a deep voice: "Therefore, the wedge between heaven and man has become very important."

Gu Jianlin whispered softly: "Wedge?"

"We still haven't fully understood the secret of the Ancient God's Wedge, but what is certain is that only the Wedge can completely integrate the Ancient God's Realm with the real world. For example, when you become powerful enough, you can control you The wedge will allow Qilin Immortal Palace to integrate with the real world and completely invade this world."

Professor Cheng glanced at him and whispered: "By analogy, the Wedge of Heaven and Man may be able to summon the Zhuzhao Divine Tree, allowing it to be completely implanted into the real world, thus completely completing the gestation of hundreds of millions of years."

Gu Jianlin suddenly thought of something.

Spirituality is also a kind of energy and it is conserved.

The existence of the inheritance path is precisely to support a certain existence...

The course of the world is still under the control of the Priory.

Now the President is no longer here.

The spiritual reserves on Earth are already sufficient.

It's time for the candle to shine on the sacred tree.
