Chapter 385: More Puzzles
He suddenly became curious about the world behind the mirror, and continued to analyze this thought.
Assuming that they were sure that he could enter here, it must be because of some kind of peculiarity in him, this was not the Chaos Bloodline that Zuo Long was talking about, it might be a disguise, just to remind him.
Then he could completely skip this point and analyze this question directly, Bai Xiu thought of something in an instant, and it was it that completely distinguished him from others.
The smell, the smell of his soul.
Although Xie Ningyun had other plans, Bai Xiu didn't think that what he said was a lie. Those that don't follow the logic should be falsehoods, such as the so-called Heavenly Breath Spirit in his mouth.
And in order to cover up such falsehoods, he will inevitably say some truths to confuse him, so these logical words are truths.
Looking at it this way, it is very likely that there is indeed a unique smell in his soul, but it is not produced by the Heavenly Breath Spirit, but the smell of other things, such things are the key to this special gate in front of him, and only it can unlock the magic circle in front of him.
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Zuo Long asked him with a glimmer of hope: "Little Brother Xin, did you think of something?"
Bai Xiu's thoughts were racing in his mind, but he said quietly on his face: "I thought of a way, maybe I can try it." β
He bit his finger and drew it on the mirror with blood.
The moment he closed the pen, a trace of blood-stained golden light suddenly flashed, and it quickly burst into Bai Xiu's eyebrows.
The shadow was also like Bai Xiu pinching a trick, gently pointing towards the mirror, and the mirror suddenly rippled like water waves in the next second.
They subconsciously rubbed their eyes, and when they looked again, there was no shadow in front of them, and the mirror disappeared, replaced by a huge stone door.
The two hurriedly looked at Bai Xiu, but saw that his face was as white as a stone, as if his blood had been drained.
Bai Xiu didn't notice anything, looked at Shimen and muttered, "That's really the case...... It's a pity that I have no ghost eyes, and this method of leaving the soul can only be done reluctantly after all. β
As he said this, he glanced at Zuo Long without a trace, and sure enough, he saw that the other party showed a relieved expression, this was not the reaction that a tomb robber should have when he was outside the treasure room.
He said without a trace: "Lucky to break the level, let's go in." β
Zuo Long nodded happily, but still let Zuo Chun take the lead, and barely pushed the stone gate open a gap that could allow one person to pass through.
In an instant, the light like water leaked from the door, Zuo Long's father and son looked at each other, but Bai Xiu already had the answer in his heart.
He followed them two steps, and saw a huge abyss in front of him, like an eye, watching this world, and above the abyss, a bright moon hung high, and the cold light poured down, illuminating the center of the abyss.
A huge disc floated in the void, and on that disk was an ancient city exactly like Hongmeng Town.
"There is a divine disk in the sky, and there is a divine palace, but I didn't expect it to be a real ......" Zuo Long lost his mind.
Bai Xiu also looked at it in amazement, and the mystery that had not been solved even after ten years resurfaced in his mind.
What is the profound meaning of the appearance of this ancient city? What is the connection between Hongyuan Island and the so-called Yumen Void Valley? Is this the real blueprint of this city?
He was losing his mind, Zuo Chun suddenly pointed not far away, and said in surprise: "Dad, it seems that there is a bridge leading to that island!"
Bai Xiu also looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he saw something hanging on the edge of the abyss, which seemed to be a pontoon bridge, which was made of unknown materials, and almost blended into the void.
Zuo Long's expression flashed: "Let's go over." β
He seemed to know that such a bridge existed here, and collapsed without hesitation, and then walked quickly towards the ancient city in the center of the abyss, Zuo Chun hesitated, but still followed behind his father.
Bai Xiu also got on the bridge, and the abyss was at his feet, giving him the illusion of walking in the clouds, the divine disk and the edge of the abyss seemed to be far away, but it only took three minutes for them to set foot on this mysterious place.
Standing under the tall city tower, Bai Xiu raised his eyes to look at the straight bluestone avenue in front of him, and on both sides of it were quaint and familiar stone buildings. They also looked silently at him, an uninvited guest, like an old friend.
Zuo Long didn't stop, and walked straight towards the center of the ancient city, Bai Xiu couldn't help but wonder in his heart, it seems that the secrets of every ancient city are there, so what is hidden in this city?
This ancient city was about the same size as Baijia Town, and after a quarter of an hour they came out of the alley, but the scene in front of them was much beyond Bai Xiu's expectations, and there was indeed a vacant lot in the center of the city, but it was not a lake or a well or something, but-
He didn't know how to define the building in front of him, it was shaped like a tower, with seven floors, but each floor was only half a meter high.
There was no ceiling on the tower, but a platform about three meters square, on which something was faintly placed.
Bai Xiu looked at the whole body of the tower, and inexplicably thought of the Lingling Tower, and when he got closer, he found that there was a stone ladder behind the tower, which led directly to the top of the tower.
He couldn't help but wonder if it could be sacrificial?
He was about to go up to take a look, but Zuo Long rushed over one step ahead of him, three steps and two steps to climb to the top quickly, but soon a miserable scream came from above their heads, Zuo Chun happened to face the tower, subconsciously raised his head, and then he screamed and took a few steps back.
Bai Xiu was vigilant in his heart, hurriedly retreated a few steps, turned his head and saw that Zuo Long's face was covered with blood and fell to the ground, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he desperately climbed towards the stone ladder.
His body was twisted in two, and only the broken flesh of his lower body hung around his waist, and his intestines and internal organs flowed to the ground.
Bai Xiu was startled, and suddenly his clothes tightened, Zuo Chun knelt at his feet and cried: "Brother Xin, save my father, save him!"
He couldn't bear it, and nodded: "You just wait for me here, I'll go and bring him back." β
However, he didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly looked in, but he didn't notice anything abnormal, and he was vigilant in his heart, and went to the top of the tower carefully.
But soon, he lost his mind.
The tower was so wide that there was no view of nature, and there didn't seem like any beasts or trapsβthere was only a stone slab the size of a checkerboard, and the slab was not flat, and there seemed to be a few grooves.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went to stop the bleeding for Zuo Long, he didn't have any hope in his heart, but anyone with a little common sense knew that this was already hopeless, and sure enough, before he could make a move, Zuo Long's head was crooked and completely out of breath.
Zuo Chun always paid attention to this side, and when he saw his father dead, he still cared about any danger, so he rushed up and crawled beside his father and cried bitterly.
This series of changes came too quickly, and Bai Xiu didn't know what to say, but Zuo Long's death was too weird, thinking of the previous analysis, could it be that the people behind them would achieve their goal and kill them?
"Who made you come here?" For the sake of the truth and Zuo Chun's safety, Bai Xiu simply asked the doubts in his heart, "Zuo Chun, now that the matter is now, you have to tell the truth, otherwise even you will suffer." β
A trace of horror flashed on Zuo Chun's face, Bai Xiu knew it in his heart, it seemed that he really didn't guess wrong: "What the hell is going on?" Maybe I can help you. β
Zuo Chun's eyes were particularly struggling, and he finally gritted his teeth and spoke.
"We lied before, there are no ancient tombs here, but someone has made a big condition, as long as we bring you here, there will be endless glory and wealth, I didn't expect them, they ......"
Bai Xiu is not so easy to fool: "You didn't tell the truth, if it's just like this, why did your father rush to this tower?"
Zuo Chun was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to ask this question, and a trace of remorse suddenly appeared on his face: "That person also made a request, saying that there is an important thing on this tower that must be given to you, my father and him, he is greedy, and wants to see what it is......"
This time, it was Bai Xiu's turn to be stunned.
He glanced back at the slate, and felt more and more strange, could it be that Zuo Chun was talking about it? But he had just checked, it was not abnormal, but this was the strange thing, if this slate was really not abnormal, then how did Zuo Long die?
He continued, "Who the hell asked you to come?"
"Yes-" Zuo Chun wanted to speak and stopped, and finally made up his mind, but as soon as he uttered a syllable, his eyes widened suddenly.
He stared at Bai Xiu's back, as if he saw something unbelievable, and the next second his body was cut apart by something, and Huo Di was broken in two, and blood flowed sideways all the time, almost wetting the entire platform.
Bai Xiu couldn't be surprised, and hurriedly turned around to search, but there was still nothing behind him.
"Xin, Brother Xin......" Zuo Chun used his last bit of strength to stretch out his hand, stained his own blood, and scribbled something, but soon those blood stains were covered by the blood that spread, and the person also lost his breath.
Bai Xiuyuan didn't recover from the shock, he suddenly felt a tremor under his feet, he followed the movement and looked, and saw the stone gate slowly closing towards the middle.
He wanted to take the two corpses out, but unfortunately the current situation was not something he could decide, and with a little helplessness, he hugged his fists at the two, turned around and fled towards the exit.
At the moment when the two stone doors were about to be tightly clasped together, Bai Xiufei pounced and finally escaped.
He looked back and saw that everything behind the door was fading away as if it were another world, but he knew that one day he would find out all the secrets of this mysterious city, and the long-lost truths would come with it.
