Chapter 888 Lingbao Tiangong
Lingbao Tiangong, the name doesn’t sound like some trash fish.
According to the information given by Qian Sen, Lingbao Temple can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but this is only a traceback in historical records. In fact, its history may be directly traced back to the prehistoric period.
It is said that the ancestors of the Lei family once collected the essence of Kyushu to refine a magic weapon, with the purpose of becoming an immortal through the magic weapon.
Monks cultivate immortality, and their ultimate goal is to transcend the three realms and not be among the five elements, shine with the sun and the moon, and live with the heaven and earth.
But speaking of it high-level, how to do it is very abstract.
Ascension cannot simply be about flying high. In that case, the astronauts would have become immortals long ago.
The ancestors of the Lei family believe that ascension is as difficult as reaching the sky. Without external assistance, it is naturally impossible.
So he practiced the Lingbao Heavenly Palace, using a man-made small Heavenly Palace to simulate the real Heavenly Palace, and then used it as a ladder to become an immortal.
Of course, it turns out that this so-called Heavenly Palace does not exist, at least not on earth. The so-called use of Lingbao Heavenly Palace as a stepping stone for the whole family to ascend is just a dream.
But that was discovered only a long, long time later. When the Lingbao Heavenly Palace was first refined, everyone thought it was reliable.
How much time, manpower and material resources it took is unknown. The result was Lingbao Tiangong, but because the theory was wrong, it was of little use.
Since then, Lingbao Heavenly Palace has always been a secret of the Lei family, so it cannot be thrown away if it is useless.
That's all the information Qian Sen gave us. It's all hearsay and there's basically no real evidence.
After all, this thing is the secret of the Lei family. If they don't tell it, the only way for Jiu Ke to obtain information is from other monks.
But what is certain is that for monsters, Lingbao Heavenly Palace is extremely annoying.
"There are just a few of us, so we should just wait for support."
Zhang Lei and Wu Yue both meant this. After all, they really had more than enough ambition but not enough power. At most, they were just ordinary people carrying a small pistol. In a conflict comparable to a local war against monsters, they failed to serve as cannon fodder.
Of course, the two of them also saw Liao Wenjing following Gan Xiaoyan, and they also knew that Liao Wenjing was a succubus, one of the high-level demons, which was quite awesome.
But no matter how awesome you are, can you defeat hundreds of monsters? What's more, it's not like there's no uncle behind him.
If it doesn't work, we really have to ask the army to come out and clear the area.
Gan Xiaoyan wanted to say that she had brought powerful foreign aid (Li Chengqi), but before she could say anything, the Lei family disciple who was leading the way made a sign of invitation:
"The master of the house is waiting for you all in the main hall."
Gan Xiaoyan could only swallow the words that came to her lips and took the lead in the door.
This is a living room in the Lei family building complex. The furnishings look antique and the incense is lit, which seems to be very charming.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a young man in his twenties sitting at the main seat. At most, he was probably two years younger than Li Chengqi.
It is not reliable to judge a monk's age based on his appearance. It is not uncommon for a female monk in her twenties to look like an old fairy.
Gan Xiaoyan was not careless because the other party looked young. She greeted him first when he entered the door.
Upon seeing this, the latter also stood up and cupped his hands:
"I, Lei Yuntian, will temporarily take over the position of head of the family. You have come all the way. It was supposed that my grandpa Zeng would come forward, but his old injury relapsed and he was unable to come forward. Please forgive me."
This Lei Yuntian doesn't look young, but he really is young.
If I have to say it, he belongs to the young master, but since the adults are not here, he has to come out to entertain people.
I can't tell that Gan Xiaoyan is quite good at small talk. In short, we just chatted with each other for a few words, and then went straight to the topic.
"Young Master Lei, may I ask what is going on?" "Everything is for the Lingbao Heavenly Palace."
Lei Yuntian looked at Lei Lei who was pushed over in a wheelchair and sighed.
"It's all fate."
"?"
Tell me clearly, can the Riddler get out of Gotham City?
Leaving others aside, Li Chengqi was confused from beginning to end.
Although Li Chengqi came here, his main task was to be a bodyguard and not to worry about other things, but is it really interesting for you to say half of it?
Fortunately, Lei Yuntian was not just pretending to be mysterious, and immediately explained:
"This Lingbao Heavenly Palace was made by the ancestors of my Lei family. It was originally intended to become an immortal, but later Baocheng discovered that it was impossible to become an immortal with this thing, so it was sealed up at home and has not been touched for thousands of years."
"In that case, why are those monsters chasing Lingbao Heavenly Palace?"
"Not long after Baocheng, the world was in chaos. The ancestors of the Lei family deeply felt that monsters were harming the world, so they took out the Lingbao Heavenly Palace to suppress them. This probably happened in the Shang and Zhou dynasties."
Damn it?
What do you mean? When you say this, does Fengshenyanyi be true?
Because Li Chengqi wanted to live a peaceful life, he did not understand the situation in this circle.
In fact, not all legends or romance novels handed down from ancient times are fabricated.
As the saying goes, you can catch the wind and catch the shadow, but you have to have the wind and the shadow first. It can't appear out of thin air. It's just that over a long period of time, the legend gradually changed.
Of course, this does not mean that all the novels of Fengshen are true. It can only be said that some of them may be closer to the truth.
Just like the relationship between Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms.
Lei Yuntian continued: "Lingbao Heavenly Palace is derived from the essence of Jiuzhou. My ancestors used Lingbao Heavenly Palace as a medium to naturally suppress the Jiuzhou monster clan. Today, the strength of the monster clan has been greatly reduced, unless a few It’s a big demon, otherwise you won’t be able to use any magic power.”
Monsters without mana are actually just beasts that are more difficult to deal with. This move can be said to be a poke in the seven inches of the monsters.
"To this day, except for the people of our Lei family, no monsters should know about these things. Many monsters think that all monsters in the world are like this. Until recently, for some unknown reason, the monsters suddenly united and besieged my Lei family, with the intention of Force us to open the Lingbao Heavenly Palace and destroy the restrictions that suppress the demon clan."
"Jiu Ke has received news that external forces are involved, but we don't know exactly what happened."
Gan Xiaoyan changed the subject as she spoke: "To be honest, Lei Lei sitting there is my best friend. Yesterday she was attacked by a monster. Fortunately, Brother Li came to help, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Could it be that she also followed Lingbao? Is it related to Heavenly Palace?”
When asked here, Lei Yuntian seemed a little hesitant. It might be because it involved secrets and he didn't dare to say anything without the permission of the older generation.
But he didn’t say it, someone else did.
"Stop hiding it. There is no need to hide this little thing about the Lei family now."
Lei Lei, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly spoke, then lifted the blanket covering her body and reached out to rub her temples.
"Isn't it just some nonsense about old sesame and rotten millet? Cousin, just tell me."
Speaking of this, Lei Lei tried to get up from the wheelchair, but she couldn't stand firmly and almost fell down until a pair of hands behind her helped her.
Lei Lei turned around and was about to say thank you when she saw it was Li Chengqi.
"Brother Li? Why are you here?"
That's right, this confused expression proved that Lei Lei had just woken up.
