Chapter 306: Immortal Cloud Gate
How long have I been asleep?"
"It's about two days, there's no time here, I can't tell the time exactly. β
Wang Lan stood up with some difficulty, and a necklace fell from her arms and spread out. The pendant of the necklace was opened, and there was a photograph inside.
A little girl in her teens, who looks like Shirahime, is behind her, and a man is holding her. The moment Wang Lan saw the man, her pupils contracted suddenly.
Yu Ruoyun looked at Wang Lan curiously, and curled the corners of her mouth, "Don't you have a girlfriend? When did you fall in love with Bai Ji?"
"Huh?" Wang Lan looked up at Yu Ruoyun inexplicably.
"Cut! and garlic is still pretending?I found out before, when Hurricle and Shirahime got together, you saw them together several times with unnatural expressions on their faces. Now you've been staring at Bai Ji's necklace for so long, and you've been thinking about things?"
"I always thought you were a calm and rational woman, and I never thought that you would show your emotional side. Wang Lan smiled slightly, "And the ability to make up for the brain is not below that of ordinary girls." β
"Does your implication lie that I am not a woman in your heart?"
"Well, you're a goddess, and a goddess of the masses. β
"Huh...... The heart whispers that you are an elm pimple big pig's trotters, it seems ...... She doesn't know you. You're very sultry. β
"I'm just telling you the truth. β
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense, I know what I look like, and my aesthetics are not different from ordinary people. β
"Are you complimenting you when I do? Please, we're teammates, brothers who have carried guns together, okay? Do you think I'm Yan Gou? How can I be so superficial.
The label of your public goddess was not posted by me, but by all the students of the Demon Capital Star Martial Academy. Not to mention anything else, the two people in my dormitory even said your name with a look of respect, and they almost saluted and sang the national anthem.
Don't you know the image of you in the hearts of your classmates? You are like a goddess in the Moon Palace, high and cold, you can only look at it from a distance and cannot get close. You are always strong, wise, wise, and powerful, but ...... I can't connect with women. β
"Alright, alright...... Stop it. Yu Ruoyun waved her hand, "If you continue to talk, I won't dare to look in the mirror in the future." β
"Why?"
"I'm afraid I can't help but bow in front of the mirror. β
"Hehe......"
"Then why do you say you're staring at the necklace in a daze?"
"The necklace has a picture in it. Wang Lan took the photo and motioned to Yu Ruoyun to show it.
"And then? I've seen it before. It's just an ordinary photo, it should have been taken when Shirahime was a child. β
"But this picture tells me why someone would assassinate Shirahime. β
"Oh? has something to do with that man?"
"Well, that man's name is Xiao Qing, and he is the one who was arrested by the Heavenly Sword Bureau some time ago and controlled the underground soul bead trading in the entire Demon Capital. There are many people who have deals with Xiao Qing, he was arrested, and many people want him to die immediately.
Although, until he died, he did not confess who was behind it. But the people behind him want to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. Unexpectedly, Bai Ji is Xiao Qing's daughter. What kind of civilian genius can achieve great things by hard work...... Sure enough, it's just a fairy tale. β
"Is that so?" Yu Ruoyun didn't seem to feel much, but thinking about it, now that they were in a desperate situation, how could they be in the mood to think about anything else.
"Aren't there any strange beasts here?"
"I don't know why the beast didn't dare to come closer. β
Wang Lan felt that she was almost recovered, and slowly stood up.
"Have you been around?"
"Not yet, I've been watching over you, and you've almost died seven or eight times in the past two days. Now, what's going on, are you sure you're okay?"
"It's okay!" As long as the Life Hymn Star martial arts don't flicker, it's fine.
"Let's go, go around, what kind of sect is this Xianyun Sect? Maybe it's really an Immortal Sect. If we can leave a cheat, treasure, gold pill or something so that we can soar directly to the day, how beautiful it would be. β
"I think too much, and it's still soaring in the daytime, and I think it's almost the same as daydreaming. Yu Ruoyun said jokingly, stood up and took a step but suddenly stumbled and almost fell.
Wang Lan hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's just a little off-the-beaten. β
The two walked out of the hall with their arms in hand.
As soon as you catch your eye, you will be blown away by the natural landscape.
The lone peak that collided violently was located directly east of the main hall, and the main hall was also on the peak of a mountain. Beyond the main hall are stairs that stretch to the foot of the mountain, each of which is half a meter high.
Surrounded by mountains, undulating sea of clouds, and dense jungles, there is no end in sight.
Countless flying beasts hovered in the distant sky, and in the dense forest, bursts of beast roars came out one after another.
"That's how you carried me up this staircase?" Wang Lan asked in surprise.
"What do you think, otherwise how could I lose my strength?" When Yu Ruoyun spoke, a faint flush appeared on her cheeks again, "If it's just you, it's okay to say, the armor on your body weighs thirty pounds to say the least, and I carried nearly two hundred pounds on my back for a full day and a night." β
"You've worked so hard!"
"It's fine. β
"Did you find the bell?"
"I haven't had time to find it yet. β
Walking along the gravel street outside the main hall, Wang Lan turned around and came to the back of the main hall. But behind the main hall, there is a continuous ruin.
I don't know how many years the ruins have been deserted, and judging from the scale, this Xianyun Gate was once incomparably brilliant and prosperous. It may be annihilation and war, but everywhere you can see the traces of war.
Obviously, the Xianyun Gate was destroyed like this.
"Wang Lan, look!" Following Yu Ruoyun's guidance, Wang Lan really found some white bones in the ruins.
Wang Lan jumped up and down a few times to the white bones, which had been severely weathered, and they shattered into powder at the slightest touch.
Returning to Yu Ruoyun's side again, "I'm afraid these dry bones must be thousands of years old. Otherwise, it wouldn't have weathered so badly. The Xianyun Sect should have experienced a catastrophe, and the entire sect was destroyed. β
"But if that's the case, why is the hall intact, and why don't the beasts dare to approach it?"
"Maybe it has something to do with the big bell. Did you hear the bell ever since?"
"I heard it twice, ten times at a time, and perhaps, the bell rang once a day. But strangely, I couldn't tell where the bell came from. After arriving at Xianyun Gate, the bells seemed to be everywhere. β
"Look for it, be careful!"
Wang Lan helped Yu Ruoyun and walked around the Xianyun Gate. In addition to the main hall, the entire Xianyun Gate was destroyed.
"Strange ......"
"Whenβ"
Suddenly, a bell rang, right in Wang Lan's ears. Wang Lan hurriedly raised his head and looked around. But the sound of this bell seemed to be everywhere, and no matter where Wang Lan turned, he could hear a clear bell.
"Whenβ"
The birds in the distance drifted away in terror, and even the roars of the beasts died down.
Suddenly, Wang Lan looked up at the sky in a daze.
The sky seemed to ripple and spread into the distance.
"Ruoyun, we ...... Possible...... It's in the middle of that big bell. Wang Lan said guessingly.
"What? Why can't I see. β
"This big bell covers the entire Xianyun Gate, and it is transparent. So we are in the middle of the big bell, and the bell rings as if it is coming from all directions. β
Yu Ruoyun raised her head as Wang Lan learned, and nodded in agreement after a long time, "There is only this one explanation." β
"Ruoyun, have you ever wondered why the entire Xianyun Gate has collapsed, all the buildings have collapsed, but only that hall is intact?"
"Probably...... The texture of the main hall is stronger, right?" As she spoke, Yu Ruoyun laughed first, "I'm talking nonsense, it stands to reason that the materials of the main hall are the same as those of other buildings. β
"I guess...... This hall must have been desperately preserved by Xianyunmen. But the sect is ruined, why do you want to leave the main hall?" Wang Lan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Legacy!"
"It should be, go, go back to the hall to look for it, they all say that if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, we are all unlucky enough to be sent to this ghost place, if you can't get some adventures, I'm sorry for this encounter. β
"How do you think that?"
"What?"
"In the face of danger, there will be adventures?"
"Aren't all the protagonists in TV dramas like this? was abolished from the Star Palace, but he encountered the myth of Xingwu by chance, and recast the Star Palace to return to the top. β
Yu Ruoyun's eyes gradually became strange as she looked at Wang Lan, with deep pity.
"You're so naΓ―ve and romantic. β
"This is called not forgetting the original intention. β
Although there is a mouth-to-mouth, it is just a mutual comfort for the tension. As for whether there are any treasures or inheritances in the main hall...... There is a high probability that there is.
Wang Lan has already analyzed that all the other buildings have collapsed, and there is no reason for the main hall to be intact. Coupled with the invisible bell that shrouded the Xianyun Gate, it was obviously to protect something.
The bell certainly wasn't protecting the ruins. So it can only be a big hall.
However, the hall was also a mess. Even where the chairs were once placed, there is now only dust left in the ground. If it weren't for the traces of chairs, Wang Lan would have thought that the hall would have been empty.
The staircase in the center of the main hall has collapsed, and even the idol of the god that was originally enshrined has been reduced to rubble. The only thing that counts as something is that pile of rocks.
Wang Lan and Yu Ruoyun came together in front of the gravel where the idol was enshrined, and the gravel was brittle and would shatter if you pinched it slightly.
When it was reasonable to break stones, Wang Lan suddenly hesitated to look at an irregular stone in his hand.
"Ruoyun, you look at the color of the stone is a little wrong, this doesn't look like a naturally formed stone, it looks more like a ...... Concrete?"
"Mr. Wang, please be sensible, it has been less than 700 years since the advent of concrete. β
"Click-" Wang Lan pinched it gently, and the concrete shattered.
An azure soul bead appeared in the palm of Wang Lan's hand.
Wang Lan raised her eyebrows and looked at Yu Ruoyun. Although he did not speak, the meaning was very clear. Now, what else do you have to say?
Yu Ruoyun said hello to a black man.
Was he really blinded by him?
Suddenly, Yu Ruoyun made a quick move, and also dug out a stone that looked like concrete from the ruins, and with a slight pinch, the stone shattered, and a fiery red top-grade soul bead appeared in Yu Ruoyun's palm.
