Chapter 221 The Secret of the Zodiac
Hu Xiaoxian also thought of this, and said: "The dead are the greatest, and besides, we have obtained so many spiritual stones, we should kowtow to Senior Situ."
After speaking, she knelt down on her knees, and buckled her head one after another to Situ Zhaixing's spiritual position. After three heads were kowtowed, before she could stand up, she heard a creaking sound.
not good! There are organs!
Qin Haodong hugged the little guy in one hand and Hu Xiaoxian's waist in the other, and hurried to the door of the stone room.
When I looked back, there was no danger in the room. At this time, the incense table under the spiritual seat moved to the right, revealing a hole. The inside of the cave is still bright, and a step leads straight down.
"It turns out that there is another universe here!"
Qin Haodong let go of Hu Xiaoxian, and the two of them walked down the steps one after the other to the bottom of the hole. Below was a stone room of about 20 square meters. There was a futon in the center of the stone room. One person sat cross-legged. There is no anger, obviously it has been sitting for a long time.
Just when their attention was attracted by Situ Zhaixing's body, they heard a click and the entrance was completely blocked.
"What's the matter?"
Qin Haodong was startled and waved his hand towards the entrance. After a muffled bang, the entrance did not move at all. Qin Haodong stretched out his hand and flicked it, making a metal echo. It turned out that the entrance had been sealed by an iron plate made of fine steel.
"Oops, we're trapped!" Qin Haodong said.
"Let me try it!"
Hu Xiaoxian pulled out the purple electric sword, and a purple light slashed towards the iron plate at the entrance. After a crisp sound, only a small white spot was left on the iron plate, but there was no damage.
At this time, I heard someone say: "Don't try it, I made this exit with ten thousand years of cold iron, and you can't break it at all."
Qin Haodong and Hu Xiaoxian turned their heads and saw a phantom reappearing in the basement, it was Situ Zhaixing. However, his body was already sitting beside him, which should be the spiritual thoughts left behind during his lifetime.
"Senior Situ, what do you mean by trapping us here?" Qin Haodong asked.
"If you can find the secret room I left behind, you are destined people. Since you are here, don't worry, sit down and listen slowly. The old man will tell you a story."
After Situ Zhaixing finished speaking, he pointed to the two futons in the corner and let them sit down.
Qin Haodong thought about it, anyway, it's useless to be anxious now, this stone room is so solid, it is impossible to force it out, so he can only listen to Situ Zhaixing finish.
He pulled Hu Xiaoxian and sat down on the futon. Although Situ Zhaixing was just a ray of spirituality, he also made a sitting posture. The little guy thought it was very interesting and looked at the illusory Situ Zhaixing with great interest.
"Senior Situ, you can say anything." Qin Haodong said.
"This story is a bit long. It has to start with my father, Situ Qing."
Situ Zhaixing spoke slowly.
"My father is the 42nd generation head of Yiyuan Sect. He was once trapped by the evil monk Mangshan Ghost King, and fled to Liaodong after being seriously injured.
Although I escaped the pursuit of the Mangshan Ghost King, my father was seriously injured at the time and was already dying. Fortunately, his old man should not die, and he met a small hunter in the forest.
The little hunter used deer blood to save my father. When the wound was healed, in order to repay his kindness, my father told the little hunter that he could have whatever wish he had, and he would be satisfied. Who knew that the little Orion was ambitious, and even proposed that he wanted to be the emperor.
As the head of the One Yuan Sect, my father always kept his word. Although Little Orion's request was a bit too much, he finally agreed. In order to make the little hunter's wish come true, my father took out 12 high-grade spirit stones and used the mountains and rivers outside the Great Wall to set up a dragon formation to nourish the dragon veins for the little hunter. "
"Little Orion, dragon veins outside the Great Wall?" Qin Haodong was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Senior Situ, is this little Orion you're talking about called Nurhaci?"
"Yes, that's the name." Situ Zhaixing continued, "After getting my father's help, the fortune of the little Orion became stronger day by day, and finally unified Liaodong outside the Great Wall. It's a pity that his lifespan was too short, and he did not wait for the heyday of the rising dragon veins. Time is dead.
Before his death, the little hunter begged my master to be the protector of the Jurchen, but my father was a cultivator and didn't want to get involved too much in worldly affairs, so he didn't agree. However, he still agreed to the little hunter and continued to nourish their family's dragon veins with the dragon formation, so that his descendants could become emperors. "
Qin Haodong was secretly shocked when he heard it. Legend has it that Manqing had dragon veins outside the fortress, but now it seems to be true.
Situ Zhaixing said: "Little Orion's son is a boy named Huang Taiji. This guy is very smart. He knows that my father's dragon formation is the foundation of their family, so he is very flattering. He was rejected when he invited my father to be a national teacher again. After that, the country name was directly named after his old man's name, and it was set as Qing."
"Oh my God, so that's how the country name of the Qing Dynasty came from?"
When Qin Haodong was in the history class, the teacher talked about the history of the Qing Dynasty and once said that Huang Taiji was very good at eliminating the rejection of the Han people. He wanted to explain to the world that the Qing Dynasty was not a continuation of gold in history, but to be the co-lord of the world, so he changed his name. for clear.
But this statement was questioned by the students at the time. Some people asked why it should be named Qing, because there are so many words in Huaxia? Why is it named after the Qing Dynasty as the country name?
This question stumped the teacher at the time, but now there is an answer, it turned out to be from the name of the Sect Master Situ Qing.
Situ Zhaixing continued: "Afterwards, the dragon spirit gathered in the Ascension Dragon Formation became stronger and stronger, and finally Huang Taiji became emperor as he wished. After he became emperor, he did not reduce his respect for my father. Donate a lot of property and provide a variety of cultivation resources.
However, the lifespan of mortals is not like us cultivators, after all, it can reach hundreds of years, and they only have a few decades to live. Soon Huang Taiji died, and his descendants succeeded to the throne one after another.
The existence of our Yiyuan Sect and the Rising Dragon Formation has also become a secret of every emperor of the Qing Dynasty, which was only told to his successor when the old emperor passed away.
When Kangxi succeeded to the throne, the secret of the ascending dragon formation was leaked out for some reason, and some people who supported the previous dynasty knew that the Manchu dynasty had a dragon vein outside the customs.
When Kangxi found out, he panicked. He went to Yiyuanzong to find my father and asked him to move the Dragon Array to the imperial capital.
For the sake of this little guy's filial piety over the years, my father agreed to let him build a Yuanmingyuan in the imperial capital, and then sealed 12 top-grade spirit stones in the heads of the zodiac signs. He moved the Soaring Dragon Formation to the Imperial Capital in a loud voice.
With the nourishment of the Soaring Dragon Array, the Qing Dynasty was in full swing. Not only was the national strength strong, but the emperor was also extremely long-lived. "
Hearing this, Qin Haodong knew that something must have happened later, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would not have gone downhill.
Sure enough, Situ Zhaixing continued: "But there was a problem with Kangxi, the 14th son he had originally chosen to succeed him, who would have been usurped by his fourth son Yinzhen after his death.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he directly imprisoned the 14 princes. But here comes the problem. The secrets of our Yiyuan Sect and the Dragon Array were passed on to the 14th prince, and Yongzheng didn't know anything about it. 14 The prince wanted to tell Yongzheng this secret, but he couldn't see Yongzheng's face at all, and the matter of the dragon vein was very important, and he couldn't borrow it from others.
After Yongzheng came to power, he found that the Qing Dynasty provided a lot of materials to the parliamentarians every year, which made him extremely dissatisfied.
So he summoned many masters of self-cultivation, and at the same time put a poison called Xiaogong San in the wine of the One Yuan Sect. After all preparations were made, the beast and the masters launched a crazy slaughter against the One Yuan Sect, not only He killed my father and slaughtered nearly a hundred disciples in our sect overnight, not even a single immortal beast was left. "
Speaking of which, although Situ Zhaixing was only a ray of primordial spirit, Qin Haodong and Hu Xiaoxian both felt his shocking anger and crazy killing intent.
Qin Haodong asked, "Senior Situ, if that's the case, how did you survive?"
Situ Zhaixing sighed and said, "I have shown a talent for self-cultivation that is far beyond ordinary people since I was a child, and I am a well-deserved first genius in the school.
When I was 100 years old, I left the One Yuan Sect in order to impact the Nascent Soul stage, and opened up this Star Picking Palace here, and practiced alone in seclusion, and it was precisely because of this that I survived. This retreat lasted for 30 years, and by the time I re-exited, the One Yuan Sect had been flattened for more than ten years.
When I heard the news, I was furious and went straight to the imperial capital and stabbed Yongzheng to death. "
Qin Haodong felt that there was too much information obtained today, and one after another shocked him. Yongzheng's death has always been a mystery in history. The original 57-year-old Yongzheng was not very old and had always been in good health, but news of his death suddenly came out.
There are many folk legends about Yongzheng's death. The most widely circulated one is that he was stabbed to death by Lu Siniang. Now, it is true that he was stabbed to death, but the murderer was not Lu Siniang, but the Situ Zhaixing in front of him.
Hu Xiaoxian asked, "Senior Situ, what happened later?"
Situ Zhaixing said: "Yiyuanzong helped the Qing Dynasty, but Yongzheng slaughtered my entire Yiyuanzong, and killing him alone would not calm the anger in my heart, so I decided to destroy the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty and prevent them from continuing. down.
But at this time, a large number of masters under Yongzheng arrived. Although I had reached the Nascent Soul stage, it was still difficult for me to be outnumbered. Even so, I still managed to take away the dragon head in the zodiac.
Of course, this is precisely because Yongzheng did not know the secrets of the zodiac signs, and he transferred all the masters who were guarding the Yuanmingyuan, which gave me a chance to take advantage. The Rising Dragon Array is completely run by 12 high-grade spirit stones. I stole a dragon head, and the Rising Dragon Array was naturally broken, and the so-called dragon veins were also removed.
Later, I was chased and killed by a large number of masters, and I escaped into Shennongjia, an inaccessible place, and returned to Zhaixing Palace. In order to prevent anyone from finding this place, I set up four formations outside the Palace of Picking Stars, and at the same time dug this basement.
In order to make people believe that the above is my final palace, I left the Nine Dragon Cauldron and some spiritual stones for refining medicine outside, just to confuse the enemy.
I have also made an ingenious mechanism in this basement. Anyone who can kowtow to me is definitely not an enemy, and has the opportunity to obtain the inheritance I stay here. "
Only then did Qin Haodong understand the whole story. It was precisely because of Hu Xiaoxian's kowtow that he opened the basement left by Situ Zhaixing and saw his remains. But now trapped here, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
Situ Zhaixing continued: "It's a pity that my injuries were too severe, heavier than I thought, and I died in the cave soon after. My biggest regret in this life is that I didn't see the end of the Qing Dynasty with my own eyes."
