Trial in the Holy Land Chapter 15 The Abyss
Rumble~
Hiss~
The sky was dark, and the violent thunder was enveloping the heavens and the earth as if the world was apostating, and the boundless storm between the sky showed no signs of stopping. From time to time, huge thunder and lightning burst out from the storm, like a hesitant dragon, and slammed into the earth, as if it wanted to shatter everything that existed on the earth.
Luo Chen's steps staggered, one hand trembling to hold on to the damp cliff, the other hand gently covering his chest, and every few feet behind him, he could vaguely see a bright red blood stain on the ground.
Dragging his heavy body, he took resolute steps, and walked forward against the cliff with difficulty step by step. From time to time, his pale face looked back behind him, and it was a canyon with no end behind him.
And when I looked back at the front again, there was still an endless canyon, and above my head, the smooth cliff walls hundreds of feet high revealed the oppression of death under the cold light of thunder.
cough~cough~
Luo Chen's hand covering his chest tightened again, spit out a mouthful of blood to the ground again, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand.
Then he leaned against the cliff unsteadily, and sat weakly on the ground. Looking up, I looked overhead, and the thunder scurrying at the mouth of the valley formed a huge net from time to time, covering the entire dim sky.
"It's been almost three days, what the hell is this place. ”
After finishing speaking, Luo Chen raised his right hand, closed his eyes and pressed his eyebrows. After a breath. The second led to a streamer of conversation. Stand on your chest.
Immediately, his eyes opened, and the streamer turned into the shape of ten spirits. Slightly opened Shui Lingling's big eyes and looked at Luo Chen.
At this time, Shi Ling's originally immature face was also soaked in a weak paleness. Immediately, his body involuntarily fell into Luo Chen's arms.
"Lord... Person. You're okay, great, Finish. ”
Looking at Shi Ling's tired and pale face, listening to Shi Ling's weak and trembling voice, Luo Chen stroked Shi Ling's hair with his hand. The corners of his mouth smiled slightly. He looked a little lost.
"I'm sorry, Ten Spirits, because I made you suffer"
Luo Chen finished speaking softly, and a tear from the corner of his eye instantly fell onto Shi Ling's little hand. Shi Ling smiled and grabbed Luo Chen's finger with his hand and put it on his chest.
"The ten spirits don't blame the master, as long as they can help the master, the ten spirits will be satisfied."
Feeling the weakness of the ten spirits, the little hands clenched their fingers tightly. Looking at Shiling's shallow smile. Luo Chen's heart pierced like a thousand swords piercing through his heart.
For the Ten Spirits, all the time. That petite body has endless secrets just like himself. Luo Chen felt very lucky for a while, although he didn't know why the Ten Spirits worked so hard for himself. But Zai Luochen gradually felt a trace of guilt for the Ten Spirits in his heart.
Although I don't know why the ten spirits appeared on me, the ten spirits have always guarded themselves wholeheartedly. If it weren't for the desire for strength in my heart, the desire to know the secrets in my body, and the desire to be able to have enough strength to protect the people I want to protect.
I didn't know why I wanted to protect Xiaoya, but every time I saw Xiaoya, Luo Chen felt that Xiaoya had an inexplicable sense with his soul and bloodline.
I want to do everything to protect Xiaoya. Looking at the surroundings he was in, Luo Chen smiled coldly. Xiaoya, are you okay? It seems that my brother is going to break his promise this time.
"Lord... People, the ten spirits are tired, it seems·· Go to bed. ”
Luo Chen touched Shi Ling's little head with his other hand with a smile. Holding back the loss, he smiled softly.
Luo Chen understood in his heart that the Ten Spirits forcibly started the Great Array. Almost exhausted all the spiritual power of the Ten Spirits. Now that his spiritual veins are damaged, he can't penetrate the spiritual power for the ten spirits, and the ten spirits are about to fall into a deep sleep again.
"Ten spirits, let's sleep when you're tired. Everything will be fine."
Luo Chen said that he was going to use his hands to tidy up Shi Ling's messy hair, but Shi Ling forcibly raised his head. A small hand opened, and a yellowed broken scroll fell into the arms of the Ten Spirits.
"Master, this... Giving·· You. ”
Luo Chen picked up the scroll suspiciously, looked at Shi Ling and gritted his teeth vigorously. forcibly supported his body and leaned on Luo Chen's palm. His eyes looked directly at the scroll in Luo Chen's hand.
"Lord... People, the ten spirits don't want to see the master sad. This scroll was also discovered by the Ten Spirits by accident, and the things recorded on it are very dangerous! Perhaps this is a silver lining for the owner. Ten Spirits originally wanted to be selfish and stay by the master's side for the rest of his life, even if the master's cultivation was mediocre, but the master·· Heart·· The Ten Spirits have always been·· Got it. In fact, the ten spirits have long been one with the master's soul. If the master is scattered this time, the ten spirits will also be ... Accompaniment·· Master, None·· Resentment·· None·· Repentance!"
Luo Chen looked at the ten spirits and forced a smile to finish, Luo Chen could no longer be indifferent.
"Ten Spirits!"
Watching the figure of the Ten Spirits turn into a streamer. After returning to his eyebrows, Luo Xin's screams instantly resounded in the sky.
At that moment, the sky seemed to be laughing at Luo Chen, and bursts of thunder continued to slash the earth, and torrential rain poured down. It seems to tear apart this Luo Chen's last refuge. Then rinse away all traces of Luo Chen.
Luo Chen's desperate body fell on the cliff behind him, and the scroll in his hand also slid to the ground. Luo Chen looked helplessly at the waterfall pouring down from the cliff, and gradually closed his eyes.
Within the institution.
On the student square, several students gathered in a pile, looking at Luo Xiaoya and Qing Xuanyu who came down from the steps not far away.
"Look, isn't that Senior Sister Xiaoya, the personal disciple of the Lord of the Falling Flower Pavilion, and Senior Sister Xuanyu, the first beauty of the students?"
As one of them looked not far away, several people around him also looked at the steps not far away.
Li Kai whispered, if the senior sister hears it, we will have no drama in the future. ”
A student next to him lowered his head and whispered. Everyone nodded their heads one after another.
"Don't talk nonsense, you guys! it's long gone."
As the voice came out, a bewitching female student walked behind her. looked at everyone, and then looked at Luo Xiaoya and Qing Xuanyu in the distance.
Everyone looked at the woman's enchanting and charming figure, and their bodies stood cold, and their backs were slightly cold. Seeing this, Li Kai asked angrily.
"Baifeng, what do you mean by that?"
"It's not interesting, the first beauty in your eyes has already promised herself, you, it's just a toad who wants to eat swan meat. It's a pity, I have to stay alone in the empty room for the rest of my life with a beautiful face."
Baifeng looked at Qing Xuanyu on the square and said jokingly. Seeing this, Li Kai clenched his fists tightly, and stared at Baifeng viciously.
"Baifeng, you'd better make it clear, otherwise don't blame me Li Kai for being unkind to you"
Looking at Li Kai's fierce gaze, Baifeng didn't care, Ren Ran smiled, and didn't forget to throw a wink at everyone.
"Heh, you're not welcome to me, you deserve it too?"
"I'll tell you the truth, I was with the Seventh Prince last night, and he told me personally. Your goddess has already given her heart to a disciple named Luo Chen. In order for your goddess to go to the Holy Land Trial in half a year. The lord of the mansion agreed in person. As long as Qing Xuanyu obtains the top ten nouns. I will give the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion as a gift to your goddess sister. That's right. I forgot to tell you. This was three days ago. ”
After Baifeng finished speaking, Li Kai sat on the ground in a lost place, thinking that he was on the way home three days ago in the afternoon, when suddenly there were clouds, lightning and thunder, I thought it was going to rain, so I didn't think much about it.
"So, that day's celestial phenomena were caused by the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion?"
"Uh-huh"
Bai Feng said casually in a flirtatious tone, and then turned around and walked in the direction outside the academy. After taking two steps, I didn't forget to look back at Qing Xuanyu. A look of disgust and disdain was revealed.
But everyone didn't know that all this was heard by Luo Xiaoya and Qing Xuanyu, who were passing by in the middle of the square. Luo Xiaoya looked up at Qing Xuanyu with an expressionless face.
"Sister Yu, do you want me to let Shizun kill them?"
In fact, Qing Xuanyu was also very angry in her heart, and she also wanted to kill, but after thinking about Luo Chen, she looked at Luo Xiaoya's face. Smile slightly.
"Xiaoya, Luo Chen, he'll be fine, we just need to wait patiently for him to come out."
After Qing Xuanyu finished speaking, Luo Xiaoya nodded lightly. He didn't look away, and walked straight to the Tianlei Pavilion.
I don't know how long it took.
The rainstorm had stopped, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes, and he saw that he, Xiaoya, and Shiling had returned to Luoyu Village, running with laughter.
But looking at the sky, it is still unobstructed and dim, and there are two cliffs hundreds of feet long. Luo Chen understood in his heart that those were all dreams.
And he was still lying at the bottom of Lei Yuan at this time, Luo Chen moved his hands. With difficulty, he supported his body on the ground and sat down next to the cliff.
The tired body leaned against the cliff face, and looked around. A small protrusion above the cliff face. From time to time, water droplets drip gently.
Luo Chen moved his body with great effort, and with the help of a little drop of water into his mouth, moistened his chapped lips.
The water flows into the body, it is the feeling of being alive, it is a glimmer of hope. Thinking of this, Luo Chen suddenly thought of something.
hurriedly propped up his body, which was already physically exhausted. His eyes quickly searched around for the scroll that the Ten Spirits said had a glimmer of hope.
dragged the body that was already weak, fell down several times, and got up with difficulty several times. Luo Chen never gave up. Luo Chen did not let go of every corner of the ground.
Even among the scattered and piled stones, Luo Chen picked them up with both hands. Even if the sharp horns of the stone cut the arm again and again. Luo Chen didn't care at all.
Time passed. Luo Chen was already at the bottom of the valley, and he didn't know how far he had traveled. Look at your scarred hands and arms. The clothes on his body were already covered with dirt.
Luo Chen looked around at the place he was looking for in front of him and behind him, this canyon hundreds of feet deep, as if there would never be an end, never end.
Luo Chen finally chose to continue to lean on the cliff wall and sit down to rest for a while. I kept telling myself that I couldn't give up.
"Little one, you're looking for this?"
Hearing a majestic voice coming, Luo Chen's tired body and mind were originally heard. Instantly sat up. Looking around, there was no one.
~Hiss~
Until Luo Chen heard the sound of gentle and crisp thunder and lightning swimming above his head, and looked up. A ball of light surrounded by several lightning bolts that slowly fell.
And one of the lightning bolts actually wrapped around the scroll he was desperately looking for. Luo Chen saw the ball of light slowly falling. Subconsciously took a step back, and his body was tightly pressed against the cliff.
"Don't be afraid, little one, the old man has been paying attention to you since you entered the Land of the Thunder Blades. The old man is quite curious about you, so he plans to come out and meet you in person."
After listening to the sound coming from the light ball, Luo Chen stabilized his body and took a gentle step forward. Staring blankly at the ball of light.
"Since you have chosen to come out, why don't you show your true colors, and besides, why don't you give me back what you know is mine. ”
"Haha, interesting little guy, in a desperate place of life and death, the momentum is not half a point at all"
As soon as the voice fell, the light of the ball of light contracted rapidly, and finally condensed into a point, and in an instant, the figure of a scrawny old man was suspended in the air.
Soul body? Luo Chen saw the figure of the old man, there seemed to be nothing, there was no sign of any life, and there were a few thunderbolts in his body from time to time. This old man is a soul body! This was the only explanation Luo Chen could think of.
"Senpai, your body... ?”
The old man also seemed to see Luo Chen's doubts, and casually took the scroll hanging in front of him and smiled.
"It's okay, it's been millions of years, I'm used to it"
Seeing that the old man said disapprehantly, Luo Chen's heart was shocked all of a sudden. Millions of years? Who is this old man? He has existed as a soul for millions of years.
The New Divine Calendar has only been recorded for more than 3 million years. Could it be that this predecessor is a figure before the New Divine Calendar, isn't it... Ancient Calendar!!
Luo Chen didn't dare to think about it anymore when he thought of this, he looked at the old man's gaze with an expressionless face, looked at the scroll in his hand, and swallowed hard.
"Little one, can you ask why you have this fragment of "Aragami Record"?"
What?Aragami Record?What is that?Looking at the scroll in the old man's hand. For a while, Luo Chen's mind was full of doubts.
Ten Spirits had only told themselves that what was recorded on it was dangerous, and they didn't say what it was, only that it was the last possible hope for themselves.
I didn't expect this senior to know him. Luo Chen's eyes immediately froze and he took two steps forward. He bowed to the old man.
"The seniors and juniors were rude before, I don't know if the seniors can return the scroll to the juniors?"
The old man just smiled and casually threw the scroll towards Luo Chen. Luo Chen took the scroll, looked down at the scroll tightly, his fists clenched tighter and tighter, this was his only hope.
"Little one, what is recorded on it is dangerous,"
Luo Chen looked up at the old man, although he knew in his heart that this senior had lived for millions of years, between the seemingly easy-going face and the slight smile, Luo Chen understood.
The Ten Spirits had also told themselves that this thing was dangerous, but now that even people who have gone through an entire era of the Divine Calendar say that it is dangerous. That really shows that this thing in your hand is really dangerous.
But there is no way, since he is no longer afraid of life and death, no matter how dangerous it is, the result is only the end of his body and soul. Luo Chen strengthened his heart again. His eyes were firm, and he glanced at the old man.
"Seniors, forgive juniors. I hope that the seniors can tell the juniors what the "Aragami Record" is in their hands?"
The old man looked at Luo Chen's figure and determined expression, and his eyes scanned. The scars on Luo Chen's hands showed a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"Little one, why do you have to search for the contents of the scroll? The little girl gave it to you, and you have not opened it once so far. How do you know there's something you're looking for?"
After listening to the old man's words, Luo Chen slowly picked up the scroll, his hands were trembling constantly, and from the old man's words, Luo Chen seemed to hear that the so-called only hope for himself could be a fantasy after all.
But before falling asleep, the Ten Spirits tried their best to hand over the scroll to themselves, even if there was only hope for ten million points of strength in it. That can't be given up either.
As his hands tightened again, Luo Chen slowly opened the scroll, but every time he opened a little bit of Luo Chen's heart, he was desperate, and after a few breaths, Luo Chen sat down helplessly on the ground again. The scroll in his hand also slipped from his hand. There was a blank space behind the scroll.
"The last ... Hope·· Actually... ”
Luo Chen raised his head and looked at the sky with desperate eyes, everything in his heart, the protection instantly turned into darkness. The old man looked at Luo Chen, his eyes swayed, and his expression seemed to be thinking.
But in his heart, he was still puzzled, what had happened to this young man in his eyes? Finally, he shook his head helplessly, and with a slight wave of his hand, the scroll left on the ground flew into the old man's hand. Glanced at Luo Chen again.
"Alright, old man, you know you've come here to repair your spiritual veins. Come with me, little one. ”
Desperate, Luo Chen heard the old man's words, and looked at the old man who turned around and was about to leave with a puzzled expression.
Luo Chen stood up from the ground with all his might, and then he felt that his body was surrounded by several thunderbolts, and gradually his body rose into the air, and those thunderbolts followed behind the old man with Luo Chen's body.
The two of them flew straight forward in the valley, one after the other. About a quarter of an hour later, Luo Chen saw that a hundred meters away, the deep valley that he thought had no end, but there was an obvious fracture.
The front of the breach was directly in front of the center of the storm in the sky, and the lightning slashed from the sky to the bottom of the breach.
As his body was driven forward, the coercion of the thunder made Luo Chen's chest sink. Suddenly pressed on his body like a heavy mountain, making Luo Chen a little breathless.
But then I saw a small thunderbolt flying out of the old man's body, directly submerging into Luo Chen's chest, and in an instant, the heavy pressure disappeared without a trace.
Luo Chen watched the old man bring himself to a place less than ten meters away from the break, then stopped, and as the figure fell, the old man walked to a cave located at the bottom of the cliff wall.
Luo Chen saw that the old man didn't say anything, so he followed behind him, and followed the old man in the winding cave for hundreds of steps or so, and Luo Chen's eyes were like another world.
It is a cave, more than a hundred feet in circumference, without the slightest breath of thunder and lightning. The ground is planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. On the edge of the stone wall, there are countless spirit stones, weapons waiting for things.
In the center of the cave sits a stone tablet without words. An old man sat cross-legged in front of the monument, holding the hilt of a long sword tightly in his hand, the body of which was partially inserted into the ground.
Luo Chen walked in and took a closer look. The old man was lifeless. And it's quite similar to the predecessor of the soul body just now.
"Little guy, don't look at it, that's the real body of the old man. ”
