Chapter 770 The disappeared ancestor!
A pillar of heaven of unknown height stood tall, and colorful divine chains crisscrossed each other. Ji Zhao had never had such a happy day.
He has understood the state of the world and what role he plays in it.
He still remembered that in the first millennium, when Xiong Dun of Chu State fought against King Li of Zhou, there was some disharmony in this world.
But in the second millennium, this situation never happened again.
What does this represent?
Just as the heavens constantly push forward each historical event, this is the will of the world.
In harmony with the Tao.
This is replacing the will of Heaven with one's own heart. From now on, such things as destiny will disappear.
The destiny left behind on the grassland will be the last in this world.
Ji Zhao's consciousness was chaotic, just like the legendary eternal dream. He was immersed in the world of Tao and could not extricate himself.
The Sitianjiantai and the celestial beings all rose and fell with his spirit, and the purple aura of destiny swirled around him.
These two magical artifacts can help him achieve complete harmony with the Dao more quickly. Otherwise, it might take a thousand years at the slowest, but hundreds of years at the fastest to complete it.
It was a dark night with strong winds, and the smoke and dust drifted to the corners of the city walls. The lights in the inner and outer cities were turned off and the city was silent.
The night watchman is on patrol, please be careful with fire. The weather is dry, so be careful with fire.
Accompanied by the chirping of cicadas and insects, it brings a hint of life.
There were candle flames flickering in the Zhaocheng ancestral temple, and the occasional breeze would make the lights sway.
The shrines cast long shadows in the candlelight, illuminating the peerless beauties of the Luo family.
They were all kneeling on mats in witch costumes, their bodies swaying gracefully, but there was undisguised panic in their eyes.
Luo Jin, the head of the Luo family, knelt beside the high priest Luo Xuan. The beautiful young man of the past has now become gray-haired and old as time flies by.
He closed his eyes and looked normal, but the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, highlighting his inner unrest.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Xuan, who was also old, had a flash of despair in her eyes and said in a sad voice: "Brother, the ancestor still has no response. The vast ocean of light has disappeared."
Luo Jin opened his eyes, which were filled with grayness, and said hoarsely: "The ancestor is as great as the sky, how could he disappear?"
There was silence in the ancestral temple, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing, with only the crackling sound of burning candles.
In the void heaven, Ji Lingjun looked at this scene. She used to be able to communicate with the human world, but she could no longer do so after her ancestors disappeared.
But she could feel that as a heroic spirit awakened in Valhalla, she could still return to the underworld.
But she only had one chance, and since her ancestor was not around, she decided to sit tight. Besides, what the Luo family was facing now was not something that could be solved by one person alone.
well.
Ji Lingjun sighed slightly, fell back, and fell asleep, waiting for his ancestors to return or for his descendants to wake him up.
In the endless peach forest, among thousands of mountains and rivers, is the final resting place of Valhalla.
The statues in the hall are all lifelike, but there is only one that is in color. That is the first son of destiny of the Luo family - Luo Wengong Luo Su.
Snap!
A crisp sound was heard at the tip of the little finger of the right hand, and a small piece of stone-like object shattered, revealing the warm skin inside.
It was too quiet in Valhalla, and the sound was like thunder tearing through the night sky, but it returned to silence in an instant.
The heaven and the human world are not under the same jurisdiction, so naturally humans do not know what happens in heaven.
The ancestral temple was still silent. Luo Jin, the patriarch, and Luo Xuan, the high priest, were both silent.
Some of the Luo family’s disciples had thought that the Luo family might one day perish, but they had never thought that the ancestor who was as sacred as the sky would disappear.
Luo Jin reached out and patted Luo Xuan on the shoulder. Without saying a word, he stood up and walked out of the ancestral temple.
Luo Xuan knelt on the ground again, praying that her ancestors would respond to her prayers.
The spirit of King Su is in heaven, blessing his descendants with prosperity for thousands of years.
The Luo clan ancestral temple is always like a place of great light, but at this moment, the spirit of King Su is no longer in heaven, and the candlelight in the temple is also flickering.
It was a pitch-black night without a trace of starlight or moonlight, and the cool breeze blew past, giving off a bleak feeling of autumn.
Just like the Luo family today.
Luo Jin stood on the steps in front of the ancestral temple, and he couldn't calm down.
In the pitch-black night, with the faint light coming from the ancestral temple, Luo Jinping stretched out his right hand and stared straight at the patriarch's inheritance ring.
There are countless inherited items in the ring.
Books, armor, weapons, gold, pearls, jade, cloth, copper coins, and a small amount of food, all the things that people pursue are available there.
To put it bluntly, these materials are enough to support a powerful family, and if combined with a piece of excellent productive land, they are even enough to support a prince.
The Luo family could move around with these abundant supplies.
But the Luo family has never relied on these external things to survive.
The royal family is the richest family in the world.
If the Luo family only had these, how could they suppress the world and formulate those rules that only existed in books?
Without the Luo family taking the lead, who would abide by the Zhaocheng Agreement that has stirred up a storm in the long river of history?
Who can guarantee the social atmosphere in which ministers are loyal to their monarchs, monarchs are righteous to their ministers, and there is respect for courtesy and mutual trust?
Who is supporting the confidence and resistance that comes from the heart?
The Luo family never became complacent, thinking that their generations of wise men could rectify the world, or that their great power could make the royal family bow down to them.
The sacred ancestor like the God of Heaven and the mysterious and powerful divine artifact are the foundation on which the Luo family has been able to survive for 1,300 years.
Luo Jin searched in his mind: "Where are the Destiny Artifacts? The two most powerful Destiny Artifacts."
Sitianjiantai.
Heaven card.
The ancestors said that the two extremely powerful divine artifacts were the ultimate trump cards that the Luo family could use to deal with everything, and now they have all disappeared.
Luo Jin had to admit that the two artifacts must have been taken away by the ancestor.
Did our ancestor encounter some unprecedented enemy?
There was no time to warn the family.
wrong!
Luo Jin recalled that the ancestor had given the family a warning more than ten years ago, but the ancestor had not disappeared at that time, so the family did not connect the two events.
Looking back now, our ancestor probably had no idea what was going to happen to him and could only give a general description, which ultimately led to his sudden disappearance without having time to notify his family.
His guess was correct. After Ji Zhao entered the land of rules, he directly chose to merge into the Heavenly Pillar without any other thoughts.
Luo Jin's heavy mood was filled with a bit of anxiety. He could only keep taking stock of Luo's current foundation and artifacts.
Foundation is the luck points, which are constantly being consumed, but for now there are still a few fixed incomes, so you can hold on.
The most precious things nowadays are the divine artifacts of destiny. These artifacts that are beyond the imagination of ordinary people are the greatest help to the Luo family. Almost every use will bring huge benefits to the Luo family.
Earth-grade artifacts are of high level, but mostly serve auxiliary functions. The Luo family has nine Earth-grade artifacts.
The most useful of them is the inheritance ring - Sumeru Mustard Seed.
The Heart Knot is useful when encountering a tyrant, but it can only protect one person.
The Heroic Spirit Card is used to summon the ancestor Luo Wengong to be born. He is a famous figure throughout the ages, but his role is not very significant at this moment.
The heart of the Medical Saint is to cultivate doctors.
Peach Blossom Spring can only save direct descendants and store a small amount of supplies, and the loss of luck points is extremely high.
Yuan Ding is a magic tool for resetting points, and it also requires a large amount of luck points.
Neither the Book of Man nor the Ruler of Heaven can be used against the enemy.
The Dinghai Shenzhen will only be of great use when it is taken out to sea, and the loss of luck points is still unknown.
If you count carefully, the Xuan-level artifacts are actually more powerful than the Earth-level artifacts, but the reason is that their shortcomings are too great.
There is no need to say much about the history. The absence of the ancestors has caused great limitations, but it is very useful to the family.
After the disappearance of the Heavenly Grade Artifact, the Luo Clan’s most powerful artifact is now the God of Four Seasons.
But the old ancestor and King Zhaosheng were not around, and the other descendants simply could not afford it. They could only use it for a short period of time at special times.
The Five Thunders Law can only kill ministers, such as treacherous ministers like Dong Zhuo who caused chaos.
The Thousand Mile Talisman is similar to teleportation, but you need to step on the right spot in advance, and you can't come back once you go there, so you have to use it with caution.
Good weather and favorable harvests are subtle tools of governance, not celestial weapons like the gods of the four seasons.
The magic talisman can create a powerful general, but it cannot affect the overall situation.
The passerby card is equivalent to making a person disappear, and no one knows what the effect is.
The artifact Divine Phoenix is surprisingly the most powerful, and if used well it can influence an entire country.
The most important thing is that this artifact is not limited to the use of direct descendants.
Wishing one's son to become a successful person is also very powerful, but it also relies heavily on luck. If one wishes for someone to become an emperor, the amount of luck points required would probably be enormous.
There are dozens of spiritual soldiers in total, and they cannot affect the overall situation.
In the Western Regions, there is a temple army created by a mysterious artifact. It is the strongest fighting force that can be passed down with the Luo family.
The Luo family's direct descendants also include nine extraordinary women, including Xi Shi, Wenjun, Diao Chan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Hede, Mi Zhen, Cai Yan, and Zhen Mi, the goddess of the Luo River, who brought various talents.
These talents all have their uses.
Very strong.
The Luo family has become terrifyingly powerful.
But in Luo Jin's opinion, that's all.
If an ordinary family gets these things, it would be easy for them to become an emperor or a top aristocratic family.
But not Luo.
The Luo family prospered for 1,300 years, and the number of their friends was unimaginable to ordinary people.
But the number of enemies he made is hard for ordinary people to imagine.
As many gentlemen admired Luo, as many villains were jealous of her.
and.
During the Bang Zhou period, the real enemy of the Luo family was not the Qin and Chu countries, but the heaven!
This is still the case today, and the prosperity of the grasslands is necessary for the perfection of the world.
The Xiongnu can be destroyed, the Wuhuan can be eliminated, and all the other Hu tribes can be relocated.
However, the blood of the Xianbei is indispensable. Even Ji Zhao has this subconsciousness deep in his soul. This is God's will.
When Ji Zhao saw all this in front of the Tianzhu, he knew that the future could be changed. He made a vow to get rid of Yuan Qing and threw himself into the Tianzhu.
However, the past cannot be undone. The Rebellion of the Five Barbarians and the rise of the barbarians have already occurred. The Purple Qi has already appeared in the world and can only be pacified by the current family.
Those who go against heaven, and those who go against heaven, will be punished by heaven!
Before our ancestor disappeared, he left behind a prophecy that "the Hu people will prosper, and the Xia people will decline."
Luo Jin was confused. How could the Hu people prosper?
But the ancestors couldn't be wrong. This was always a sword hanging over the Luo family's head.
No one knows what kind of unprecedented catastrophe it will be. It is assisted by the will of heaven and is necessary for the completion of the world.
It cannot be avoided by human power, we can only wait for it to come.
When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. It is nothing more than that.
The Luo family, which has existed since the mythological era and seems to be everlasting, is about to face disaster.
When the sun rises, the morning light fills Zhaocheng.
The bell rang throughout the Luo Palace.
"clang!"
“…”
"clang!"
The direct descendants of the Luo family and all the ministers who held high positions in the Zhao Kingdom all hurried into the Luo Palace following the sound of the bell.
All the members of the Luo family living in Zhaocheng looked at Luo Palace with some anxiety.
The morning bell rings twenty-eight times, which is not often in the 1,300-year history of the Luo family.
What is happening?
The gate of Luo Palace was wide open, and the old traces mottled with green were washed clean by the rain. The soft and falling morning light made the deep darkness and depression in the palace even more obvious.
Luo Jin walked into the hall, wearing plain clothes without any complicated formal wear. He tied his hair up and wore a crown, with his white hair neatly tied inside the crown. Luo Xuan stood beside him, holding a magic staff in her hand.
Luo Jin looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I called everyone here today to announce an important event.
In principle, the masters hope that the children living outside can return to Zhaocheng, except for the lineage of Marquis Luoying, the lineage of Duke Yuzhang, and the branches that have already established families and careers outside.
The time limit for voluntary return is three years.
From today on, Zhaocheng will enter a semi-closed state, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave at will, so as to observe the changes in the world."
As soon as Luo Jin said this, it was like a huge rock hitting the water in a pond, and the whole hall was in an uproar.
There was unspeakable confusion and disbelief on everyone's face.
"Your Excellency Lord Zhao, please tell us why this is happening."
Why?
This is the question that runs through everyone's mind.
In the 1,300-year history of the Luo family, Zhaocheng was closed for only about 100 years.
That was the period of time after the destruction of Luo State and the reconstruction of Zhaocheng by King Zhaosheng.
Ever since Zhaocheng was opened and the Taoist tradition in the world was regained, no one has ever thought that Zhaocheng would be closed again.
Zhaocheng stands by the Yellow River. No matter the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, whether the Yan State came here, the Zhao State was here, and even when the Han State ruled Jizhou, Zhaocheng was as eternal as time and had never been affected by the outside world.
what happened?
It actually made Duke Zhao take the action of closing Zhaocheng?
I have never heard of the Emperor of Han and the Emperor of Yan doing anything improper.
Apart from the turmoil over imperial power, what else could influence what Duke Zhao did?
With this letter, students all over the world will have no holy place to visit, and scholars all over the world will have no place to listen to the teachings of the ancient sages.
There is no certainty that this seal will be lifted, and the connection between Zhaocheng and the other states will be severed sooner or later.
The damage caused by this letter to the world and the Luo family is immeasurable. How could Duke Zhao do this?
The scholars from outside did not understand and their faces were filled with endless confusion.
People who are not members of the Luo clan and live in Zhaocheng do not understand, but over the past hundreds of years, the Luo clan has always done things that are unexpected.
The Luo family members didn’t know what was going on, but they just had to follow the master.
Many of the Luo family’s direct descendants did not know what had happened, and they did not sense Ji Zhao’s disappearance.
Luo Xuan raised the divine staff high, light shone through her words, and she said solemnly: "This is the will of the Su Wang Shang Huang!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
The order from the Supreme Emperor Su Wang is the highest in the world!
————
Yu Huang Shi Luo!
Climb the high mountains, the towering peaks and the Yunhe River.
The King of Su is revered and majestic, shining and bright, and is the destiny of the time. ——"Ode to Luo"
