Liang Yan glanced at the sinking puppet fragments, but his expression did not change at all.

Winners and losers! The road to immortality has been like this since ancient times. Only those who survive are qualified to climb up. If one day the loser is you, I'm afraid it won't end better than these people.

"let's go."

Liang Yan said, taking Wu Xin's hand and swimming towards the water together.

Escape techniques cannot be used here, but fortunately, his physical strength is strong enough, and he is not afraid of the undercurrent of Luoshui, and can move very fast.

It took about two hours before the two finally surfaced.

Looking around, I saw a calm lake, and the two of them were located in the center of the lake.

Looking at the shore again, it was completely shrouded in darkness. The spiritual consciousness could not spread too far here, so that the scene on the shore could not be seen clearly, but you could vaguely see the silhouette of someone standing there.

"Is there anyone on the shore?" Wu Xin frowned.

"It's hard to say what it is. Let's be careful."

As Liang Yan spoke, he raised his hand to create a spell and used the Tianji Pearl to hide his aura.

Wu Xin also cast a spell to hide his breath.

The two of them got ready, concentrated, and slowly approached the shore.

Not long after, the two finally came out of Luoshui, walked to the shore, and stepped on the solid soil with their feet.

But the scene in front of them made them take a breath of cold air.

There is actually a huge army here!

Looking around, thousands of puppet soldiers were standing on the shore, holding swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons, with serious faces and murderous intent.

These soldiers were exactly the same as the puppets that attacked them at the bottom of the lake before, but the weapons they held were slightly different. Thousands of puppets formed a military formation, and the murderous aura soared into the sky. Even Wu Xin's cultivation felt suffocating!

For a moment, both of them were extremely nervous.

But soon, they discovered that these puppets were just standing there. Although they were full of murderous intent, they showed no signs of taking action. Even these murderous intents did not target anyone.

After observing on the spot for a moment, Liang Yan finally felt relieved.

It seems that these puppets have lost the ability to move, which is a blessing among misfortunes, otherwise both of them will be in danger!

You must know that although these puppets are not powerful individually, they have a unique aura that, when connected together, can multiply their attack and defense capabilities.

Previously, Liang Yan could kill more than a dozen puppets with one sword; but if there were hundreds of puppets, it would be more troublesome for him to deal with them.

There are five thousand puppets here! If all of them could move, they would be a terrifying force.

"What the hell is this place? Why are there so many weird puppets!" Wu Xin's eyes showed surprise.

"Look at them, they seem to be soldiers guarding this place, preventing outsiders from passing through." Liang Yan said thoughtfully.

After his reminder, Wu Xin also discovered it.

Although these puppets were full of murderous intent, they did not assume an active offensive formation, but adopted a defensive posture.

More than 5,000 soldiers lined up behind each other like checkpoints, preventing anyone from passing through.

"It seems that the place we are looking for is behind here. Demon Lord Qingyun has probably passed by. The reason why these puppets lost their ability to move is probably because of him."

"Yes, the secret here will be revealed soon."

Liang Yan said and walked into the military formation without hesitation.

Sure enough, the puppet soldiers here just stood there and did not attack him, the intruder.

The two of them walked forward and soon saw a high platform appearing in front of them.

The high platform is made entirely of white jade, with a huge stone wall behind it and a statue standing in the middle.

This statue is of a woman, with a beautiful face and full of heroic spirit!

She wears a crown of nine dragons on her head, her moon-white robe is embroidered with golden auspicious clouds, and there are white birds facing phoenixes at the corners of her skirt. Her eyebrows are resolute and the lines are clear, like the outline of a distant mountain, and she is as white as jade. She is graceful, noble, and majestic.

Wow!

Although it is just an ordinary statue, it gives people a feeling that they dare not approach it and do not dare to desecrate it.

This invisible sense of oppression made Liang Yan frown slightly.

Looking at the front of the woman's statue, there are eight more statues, but these eight statues are all kneeling on the ground, as if they are her slaves.

"Do you feel that those eight statues are so familiar? The huge statue has almost the same physical characteristics as the giant spirit clan, and the tall man with short arms, doesn't he look like a monk from the fantasy clan?" Wuxin said in surprise?

.

"Um."

Liang Yan nodded.

He had carefully observed that these eight statues corresponded to the eight major clans of gods in the Black Mountain Territory.

"Is she the ancestor of the eight tribes? They all kneel down and worship here. Who is this woman?"

Liang Yan was confused and used his spiritual consciousness to check the surroundings. After confirming that there were no restrictions, he slowly climbed onto the high platform.

I saw a jade wall behind the luxurious woman. Various patterns were carved on the wall. These patterns were vivid and constantly evolving, and contained a lot of information.

It's like a book, waiting to be read.

Liang Yan glanced around and saw four lines of ancient seal characters engraved with golden light in the middle of the high wall, exactly:

"The phoenix in brocade and white robes rides in the sky, walking majestically on the snow to bind the blue dragon, the jade bottle gives birth to mysterious seeds, Kunwu shoots down the nine-fold cloud!"

Seeing this poem, Liang Yan was startled and vaguely thought of a person.

"Yuping, is Kunwu her?"

This guess made Liang Yan's heart beat faster and his face became serious.

He immediately threw his consciousness into the jade wall. As the patterns on the wall continued to change, countless pictures entered Liang Yan's sea of ​​consciousness.

An ancient secret unfolded before his eyes

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was only a moment in reality, Liang Yan came back to his senses and sighed quietly.

"I see"

He finally knew the origin of the Black Mountain Domain and what kind of place it was.

It turns out that when the Nine Saints slayed the immortals, although the Queen Mother of the West died, her body was not destroyed. Many people in the old tribe of the Immortal Court were loyal to the Queen Mother of the West, so they set up a tomb for her in the Black Mountain Territory and built this tomb.

and placed the body there.

The battle that year was extremely tragic. Although the Nine Saints won the battle, it was also a tragic victory. Half of them died directly in the battle, and the lives of the remaining few were hanging by a thread, so they acquiesced to this behavior.

Among these old tribes of the Immortal Court, there are eight sub-sages with the highest cultivation level, who have sworn to guard the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West. These eight people are the ancestors of the eight major divine tribes.

They set a clan rule that future generations, as tomb keepers, could never leave the Black Mountain Territory. This was true for generations to come. In order to achieve this goal, they even set taboos in their own bloodline. Anyone who wanted to leave the Black Mountain Territory

The tribesmen will lose their minds and become walking zombies.

This is why Liang Yan encountered so many walking corpses outside the Black Mountain Territory. They were monks from the Black Mountain Territory who were unwilling to be trapped here and wanted to seek a way out from the outside world.

"I didn't expect that these so-called 'foreign races' in the Black Mountain Region are actually descendants of the old tribe of Immortal Court."

Wuxin also read the content on the wall, with a look of emotion on his face: "I have always found it strange that although their spells are weird, their essential cultivation methods are the same as those of the human race. Now I finally understand that these should be

Spells circulated in ancient times. The world of cultivation has experienced hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, and a hundred flowers have bloomed in the outside world. However, due to resource constraints, the monks in the Black Mountain Region can only use the set of spells from the ancient times, so they have conflicts with the monks from the outside world.

Because of their differences, they are called 'foreigners'."

"good."

Liang Yan nodded. His thoughts were the same as Wu Xin's. After seeing the contents on these walls, he finally understood the truth about the Black Mountain Domain.

Wuxin was full of emotions, thought for a while and then said: "I didn't expect that there would be such heartfelt subordinates in the Immortal Court. The Queen Mother of the West ruled the entire Black Mountain Territory back then. Although she was rebellious and cruel, she also had her personal charm. These eight sub-sages

Those who are willing to be trapped in the Black Mountain Territory are obviously her loyal followers."

Liang Yan smiled slightly: "The surrender to power has existed since ancient times, and the world of cultivation is no exception. At that time, the Immortal Court swept across the continent and was at its peak. How could there be seven mountains and twelve cities? All of these were given by the Queen Mother of the West, so

They adored her."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "But there is one thing you said wrong."

"oh?"

Wu Xin looked surprised and asked, "What did I say wrong?"

"Not all of these eight people are her loyal followers. One of them has a different intention." Liang Yan said slowly.

After Wu Xin listened, he suddenly understood.

"You mean the ancestors of the Wu clan?"

"good!"

Both of them looked at one of the eight statues.

This is a handsome man with eyebrows like swords and sharp eyes. He knelt on one knee in front of the Queen Mother of the West and looked extremely respectful.

"If I guessed correctly, the ancestor of the Wu clan was not willing to stay in the Black Mountain Territory, or in other words, he had other plans for this place. When he and seven other people built this tomb, I was afraid that this person was secretly
