"'Seven Stars Soul Array'...... I didn't expect to see ...... here."

Mu Jianyun was shocked. "What this picture shows shouldn't be the place where the skeleton monster was sealed by the 'Seven Star Soul Binding Array'?"

"It should be...... And the bad news is that the location of this seal is most likely the mountain where we are currently located. Look at this place, is it something we've been to before?"

Jiang Yao said, stretched out his finger and pointed to another area on the left side of the picture, only to see that a half-moon-shaped pattern was drawn in this area, and it was hard not to remind them of the half-moon-shaped underground lake they had discovered earlier.

"It's really ......!" Mu Jianyun was stunned for a moment, and then followed the pattern to look above the underground lake, and in the middle of a sinuous and interlaced line, he saw a magata-shaped area, and the abdomen of "Magata" was also engraved with a square symbol, which was extremely similar to the layout of the tomb they had first discovered.

"This one...... Isn't that the same burial chamber we fought before?!And where are we now?If we get close to the Seven Stars Soul Bundle Array, it will be troublesome......"

Mu Jianyun said, hurriedly checking several other areas in the picture, while Jiang Yao was staring at the square symbol in the area of the map in the map, and couldn't help but think of the huge coffin that had hung in the center of the tomb in the map.

Square...... Coffin......

Jiang Yao guessed the symbols in the picture, and then moved his gaze to the square symbol surrounded by skeleton monsters in the [Seven Star Beam Soul Array] area below, and his heart suddenly moved. He raised his head and looked around at the strange grotto around the cave where the green wood coffin was placed, and suddenly a sense of foreboding gradually rose.

No...... No way......?

Jiang Yao was a little uneasy, he was about to say something to Mu Jianyun, but when he turned his head to look, he found that Mu Jianyun's eyes were focused on a bunch of strange words on the edge of the pattern at this time, and his brows were furrowed more and more.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Yao stepped forward and glanced twice, and suddenly felt like reading a book from heaven, the words in front of him were strangely shaped, like oracle bone inscriptions, but there were many differences, and they were not in the cognition of any of his language systems at all.

"The ...... on the edge of this picture It's a "demon text", and it's a version of the ancient era. Mu Jianyun opened his mouth with a solemn face.

"...... 'Demon Text'?"

"It's the text used by the demon clan. Mu Jianyun said. "Although the written language used by demons and humans in today's era has been basically unified, in ancient times, many high-level demon tribes had their own writing, but now they have gradually assimilated with human civilization, and I also learned a little about the skin of some ancient 'demon scripts' in the 'Library Pavilion' of Lingyutai. ”

"Since it is described in ancient 'demon script', it seems that this place was originally established by the ancient demon clan. Jiang Yao thought for a while and said. "What are the 'demon texts' written about?

"Roughly understood...... Let me see. Mu Jianyun glanced at the words in front of him and began to speak.

"'Our tribe originally lived in Mount Tai, and once had an immortal body because of drinking the water of the red spring by mistake, but it also caused the jealousy and hatred of the demon clan and was in danger of disaster. Fortunately, under the favor of the leader of the demon clan, Chi You, he arranged for our clan to hide in Yuanqiu Mountain, so that he was able to escape the war and recuperate for generations. However, our people's longevity and immortality violated the way of heaven after all, and the corpse demon descended from the sky on Yuanqiu, which was called "heavenly punishment", and for a time the miasma raged and the lives were ruined. In order to live up to the favor of the leader of Chiyou, and not to bear the innocent creatures of Qiushan to be implicated by our clan, our clan voluntarily sacrificed the soul of the whole clan, with the body of the patriarch as the 'eye' of the town, and the body of the whole clan as the 'auxiliary' array, and sealed the corpse demon with the power of the seven-star soul bundle in exchange for the peace of the world, and our clan can also be liberated from the immortal curse......"

"'Drink the water of the red spring by mistake, and have an immortal body'...... It turned out that the 'undead people' that had been recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" were their ...... "After listening to Mu Jianyun's narration, Jiang Yao's heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. "Disobeying the established 'Mandate of Heaven' has gained a long lifespan, and in the end, I have to bury the souls of the whole clan because of the 'Heavenly Punishment'...... Is this really 'destiny'?"

Jiang Yao said, subconsciously reaching out and brushing the 'death mark' on his collarbone, this mark imposed on him by Hades was like a *, even if he tried not to let himself care, he still couldn't help but think of the cold admonition in the mouth of black and white impermanence:

[The fate of all things in the world has long been determined by the "Book of Life and Death", which is called the "Mandate of Heaven", and your death ten years ago is your "Mandate of Heaven". 】

Mandate of Heaven...... Although I once escaped the hook of black and white impermanence and was able to continue to breathe to this day, I ...... Can you really hide from it forever?

Jiang Yao lowered his head and struggled, I don't know if it was for psychological reasons, he seemed to feel a faint tingling pain from the mark on his collarbone, and his face became a little pale.

"...... 'Destiny of Heaven is hard to disobey'? But I think that these 'undead people' have long been beyond the scope of the so-called Mandate of Heaven. ”

Mu Jianyun's words suddenly came from his side again, Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and looked up at his side.

"In the end, these undead people made their own choices according to their own wishes, and got the results they wanted, whether it was sacrificing their souls and sealing the corpses so that they could be freed from the 'undead curse'...... It is not so much the 'Mandate of Heaven' that brought them 'destruction', but the 'peace' that they themselves brought to themselves after the dust settled. ”

Mu Jianyun muttered, looking away from the demon text and looking at Jiang Yao. "Although it is often said that 'destiny is difficult to disobey', if everything passively obeys fate and goes with the flow, then what is the difference between walking with the corpse? ”

"......" Jiang Yao looked at Mu Jianyun, the moment of shaking in his eyes gradually disappeared due to the other party's words, he turned his head and looked at the huge and majestic Chiyou stone statue in front of him again, did this demon clan leader who had brought new hope to those immortals also have the same mood, expecting them to break the 'Mandate of Heaven' and choose their own future path?

"Yes, my life should be in my own hands...... What am I thinking?" Jiang Yao shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes regaining firmness. "By the way, in those murals we saw near the underground lake before, those strange creatures should be these undead, right?"

"It should be. ”

"If it's really as depicted in the mural, those undead people are too similar in appearance to the monsters we encountered before......" Jiang Yao said, looking at the surrounding caves, the speculation that had sprung up in his mind lingered.

"In the previous mural, it was a skeleton monster...... That is, the state of the corpse demon when it was sealed, and the surrounding undead were arranged in a spoon shape to form a 'Seven Star Auxiliary Array' to seal the corpse demon, and the auxiliary array shown in this map is composed of block logos, if these squares represent the coffins containing the undead, then everything makes sense......"

"Wait, what do you mean...... Are these monsters in the green wood coffins the undead?" Mu Jianyun said in surprise. "But the undead should have sacrificed their lives to seal the corpse demons in ancient times, right, how could they wake up and turn into monsters to attack people after a thousand years......?"

"This ...... I don't know, but the bodies of those undead people are immortal because of the red spring water, and even if their souls have disappeared, their bodies are likely to continue to remain, and if they are immersed in such a miasma-filled environment for thousands of years, no one can say what kind of abnormal changes will occur. Jiang Yao guessed, and his tone was not quite sure.

"Didn't we see the 'Evil Detention Array' under these coffins before? Since everything here was set up by the undead, then the 'Evil Detention Array' should also be ...... I guess this is exactly what the undead have taken to protect their corpses from mutating. ”

"Sealing your own coffin? I always feel that something is wrong...... However, if the corpses of the dead are not really preserved to this day, then it is indeed an excellent container for the ghosts, and it is not impossible to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul......" Mu Jianyun pondered. "But since you have the shackles of the 'Evil Array', even if a ghost ghost invades the body of the undead, you shouldn't be able to leave here, right?"

"They didn't leave on their own, they were carried away. Jiang Yao pointed to the empty grottoes and said. "As I said earlier, judging from the previous signs, it is likely that those 'Chiquan villagers' carried some coffins from here, and once the monsters in these coffins reach the outside world, they will not be bound by the 'Evil Array', even if those villagers who do not have 'popularity' cannot stimulate them, but they will be quickly stimulated by the breath of life in the outside world, and eventually jump to the mountains and forests to attack people and animals. ”

"The villagers...... What the hell are they trying to do!?"

Mu Jianyun said angrily, and suddenly he was stunned again, and at this time he finally realized a problem that he should have realized a long time ago, but ignored so far. He hurriedly raised his head and looked around at the dense grottoes around him, and then looked at the circle of square icons surrounding the corpse demon on the image in front of him, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Wait, if these coffins are really undead...... So as shown on this diagram...... We are now in the formation of the Seven Stars Soul Bundle Array!?"

"I want to ...... I'm afraid so. ”

Jiang Yao hesitated for a moment and nodded solemnly. "Remember the long cave we walked through before? There are the same caves on both sides of it, and if you think of that road as the long handle of the 'spoon' and the main body of the 'spoon', then it adds up to ......."

"Seven-Star Auxiliary Array!"

Mu Jianyun was shocked, and subconsciously looked down at the feet of the two.

"The corpse demon ...... It's sealed right below us!?"
