Volume 1: Red Clothes, Bloody Men Chapter 63: Above Xuanwu
The next day, the light of Xuanri was shining on Ye Chen's bed through the fine cracks of the eaves of the small house, the pillar of light was pure and dust-free, and the surrounding silence was so quiet that only the delicate sound of the flow of the mountain col stream not far away, who would have thought that this beauty was oppressive in the night?
His eyes slowly opened, looking at everything familiar in front of him, and the incredible image of last night was still in his mind.
After about ten minutes, Ye Chen got up with difficulty, and after a glance swept around, he couldn't help frowning, and many of the clothes placed in the cabinet had not been washed.
"Uh, wash all the clothes first, and then go to alchemy!"
Took the clothes to the stream and washed them all, and by the way, took a refreshing bath, the wounds in the palms of his hands had healed, only the strong chest and scars, his injuries were all in the internal organs, Zheng Changxiong's true qi power penetrated the skin layer in his internal organs and unscrupulously stimulated the burns, a very terrifying means, the reason Ye Chen naturally knew that the main reason was that his cultivation was too low.
After washing and drying the clothes, and then washing up briefly, after being busy, Ye Chen walked out of the small house with the war spear, this time he didn't take Xiaoqing with him, because he wanted to go deep into the ruins somewhere alone.
As an independent realm, the Ruins Domain is vast and immense, and it is also a forgotten world, with not only fascinating secrets, confusing unknowns, but also various wills that exist in all things......
Six o'clock.
Ye Chen climbed the mountain and waded through the water, and was standing on the top of a mountain at this time, which was already four hundred kilometers away from his cozy little house, surrounded by towering primitive mountains, but the green mountains in the distance showed the appearance of a basin, and the center of the basin was filled with a faint mist, which was the purpose of Ye Chen's trip.
"I remember the last time I came was last year, I really miss it, and the center of the basin not far in front is the largest ancient building complex I have encountered in the ruins so far!"
Standing on the top of the mountain, a light breeze is blowing in your face.
Ye Chen closed his eyes and dived his consciousness into the most gloomy and dark depths of his mind, and sure enough, a new picture appeared, which was the self-contained space of that ghost domain!
The sweet voice of the woman in red came: "I didn't expect you to remember the original route, hehe, it's funny!"
At this time, Ye Chen thought of something and asked softly, "Do you have a name?"
The woman in red said, "Akatsuki!"
Ye Chen said: "It's very good, Akatsuki!"
Akatsuki was stunned for a moment, and said with a slight smile: "You are flamboyant, but what I am curious about is that your cultivation breakthrough speed is too fast, although I see every breakthrough, whether it is the degree of difficulty or the degree of risk, it is several times stronger than others, so the breakthrough is fast, but the damage to you is very great." ”
Ye Chen asked, "What kind of damage are you referring to?"
Akatsuki said seriously: "There are a total of three kinds of energy in your human body, namely aura, true qi and will, which correspond to the veins of the human body, the dantian and the spirit, so every time you break through the limit, the veins, dantian and spirit will be damaged to varying degrees, you are a smart person, you should have noticed it a long time ago." ”
Hearing this, Ye Chen opened his eyes and said as he walked towards the basin: "Akatsuki, is the breakthrough of cultivation considered a process of breaking through the limit?"
Akatsuki was silent for a moment and said, "Sort of!"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "That's fine." ”
The delicate face froze, and Akatsuki hurriedly said: "Your current veins and dantian are very fragile, you can't go on like this, besides, you are originally an ice attribute true qi, and there is a conflict with the exercise called blood-stained long song, anyway, your body is messy, the main reason is that you have not accepted the orthodox cultivation method." ”
What Akatsuki said was not wrong at all, not only did Ye Chen not accept the orthodox cultivation method, but he also made an extreme breakthrough, which led to an increase in hidden dangers.
Ye Chen asked, "Chiyue's cultivation is the Xuanhuang Realm, was it so powerful during his lifetime?"
It may be the word before death, Chiyue was depressed, Liu Mei lowered his eyebrows, and said: "I have been taking drugs since I was a child, plus the special secret method of the family, twenty-one years old is the Xuanhuang Realm, and I died just that year, in fact, it is good to become a spirit." ”
The spirit body should be the name of the ghost of the human race, similar to the human race calling its own body a human body, and it is also a kind of ghost culture!
Of course, none of this matters, Ye Chen was surprised by the breakthrough speed of Chiyue Cultivation, and she arrived at the Xuanhuang Realm at the age of twenty-one? What are those medicines she is taking, and there are also magical family secret methods, they are all priceless, and they are not small!
Ye Chen was curious: "The secret method of ascending to rank?"
"Ye Chen, you are not suitable for cultivating my family's secret method. ”
"How?"
"The reason is the blood-stained long song of your cultivation!"
"The blood-stained song of the Blood Legion?"
"Well, it's the blood-stained long song, even though I have been wandering in the ghost domain for four years since I died, I have heard a lot of exercises, but I have never heard of this exercise, it has ordinary functions such as stimulating true qi, strengthening true qi, etc., but these are common functions, and the special thing about blood-stained long songs is that they can change the attributes of true qi!"
"I'm also puzzled by this, my true qi attribute is ice, and after activating the blood-stained long song, it becomes a fire attribute, but after activation, the veins and dantian will be unbearable. ”
"That's the hidden danger. ”
"I see, Akatsuki has learned a lot and experienced a lot of things in the Ghost Domain, by the way, how did you die?"
"You...... Will you chat!?"
Chiyue suddenly woke up, she was a spirit after all, and those who could help Ye Chen had already been helped, on the contrary, Ye Chen wanted to help her get rid of the self-contained space where she was currently located, and this seventeen-year-old boy didn't know how to chat with women at all, so he actually asked such a foolish question!
Realizing Chiyue's emotions, Ye Chen smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly changed the topic: "After Xuanwu Realm Nine is the Xuanling Realm, and after the Xuanling Realm, is it the Xuanhuang Realm?"
Shaking his little head, Chiyue said: "The next realm of the Xuanling Realm is the Xuanwang Realm, and after the Xuanwang Realm is the Xuanhuang Realm, you are still too far away from these, wait for you to break through to the ninth level, just your chance has come!"
Ye Chen nodded and said: "There may be spirit storage stones under the ground of the ancient buildings in the basin in front, this is what I felt when I came last time, I was going to bring them with me, but if I do this, it will hurt them." ”
Brute beasts are naturally afraid of the building complex, even if the building complex is dilapidated and not regained its glory in the long years, but the breath of the human race still exists, because the brute beast is a unique species, and the direction of the evolution of all things is chosen towards them, making the internal structure of the brute beast so miraculous, that is, there is a beast core and wisdom, they have become one of the carriers of the world's stored aura that is not inferior to the spirit storage stone, but it has also led to the human race's possessiveness of the brute beast becoming more and more crazy!
Perhaps God is fair, and the beasts are extremely powerful, but the facts have also proved God wrong, and the Terrans have become more and more frenzied and unable to prevent it, leading to irreversible conflict.
Akatsuki's crisp and sweet voice came: "Fortunately, you can think of this aspect, speaking of which you are quite special, why do you have such a strong affection for brute beasts?"
Ye Chenhu said suspiciously: "I thought you had been living on me for a long time?"
Chiyue raised her little head disappreciably, she didn't answer Ye Chen's question, the corners of her mouth raised a smile and she didn't say more, her eyes looked at the picturesque scenery ahead, and after a while, one person and one ghost arrived at the bottom of the basin, and as far as the eye could see, an ancient building complex comparable to Liuyun City presented itself, magnificent and magnificent, even if many buildings were dilapidated, the momentum was still magnificent.
This kind of city built in the basin has a rigorous layout, the whole is square, there is a main gate in the east, west, north and south, and because of the high mountains in the northeast and the low and flat terrain in the southwest, there is a large river flowing through the center of the city from the northeast to the southwest.
At this time, Ye Chen was standing in front of the Dongzheng Gate with a war spear in his hand, he looked at the two big characters on the Dongzheng Gate and shook his head helplessly, he had never seen this kind of text, so he didn't know how to read it.
"Akatsuki, do you know these words?"
"I don't know. ”
"That's it, let's find the Spirit Stone, the smell here is very strange, it makes me uneasy, and I can't be sure if I can find it before nightfall. ”
"The city has a complex layout, and we want to spend the night here. ”
With a stunned expression, Ye Chen was worried about this situation, because this city was too big, and he was completely unfamiliar with it, and he would lose his way if he didn't get it right.
"If the ancients built it, I remember that the ancient city unearthed in the lower reaches of the Xuanyue River in the twenty-first year of the first year of Tianyue is a historic site that has been found to be well maintained and has unearthed complete antiquities, it is said that it was built four hundred years ago, it was a famous military fortress, and an ancient river crossing city was also unearthed in the lower reaches of the river, it is also a military fortress, it is said to have a history of tens of thousands of years, and the two monuments are recorded in detail in the geology of the Heavenly Classic, covering the political system, urban construction and defense, humanistic and religious sacrifices, society, There are many aspects of the economy and education, so let's hope that the city has those characteristics. ”
"Ye Chen, in fact, you don't have to worry. ”
"You mean you'll be able to keep you from getting lost, and you'll be able to find the Spirit Treasure before nightfall?"
"No, we're going to spend the night here. ”
"Why?"
Ye Chen obviously didn't understand, he clearly knew how terrifying the night in the ruins was, although those lonely souls and wild ghosts would not appear in the Terran buildings, but powerful ghosts were possible, and if they couldn't find a living person for a long time, they would definitely be hungry and thirsty!
At this time, Akatsuki smiled: "This city will show its true face at night, because it has been dilapidated for countless years, and it has long since condensed into the environment where the spirit body depends most for survival, so this is a real ghost town!"
Listening to Chiyue's words, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel creepy, when the night covered the earth, it was hard to imagine the exciting and terrifying scene of a hundred ghosts walking at night: "Ghost town, how many ghosts are there?"
Akatsuki didn't seem to be able to stop anything, and her crisp and sweet voice was full of endless joy: "If you don't guess wrong, there will be ghost master-level spirits in this ghost city, and there will be more than one!!"
Ye Chen swallowed his saliva and took a step, he had learned a lot about ghosts from Akatsuki, the strength of ghosts is not determined by cultivation before death, they are also hierarchical divisions, the lowest ghost people, above are ghost warriors, ghost masters, ghost kings, etc., of course, there are higher realms above the ghost king, Chiyue's current realm is ghost warriors, demon shadow ghost masters, so isn't this ghost city a real hell?
Akatsuki said softly: "Don't worry, I will release my breath to wrap you up at night, they won't find out, but my cultivation is a ghost!"
Ye Chen still asked uneasily, "What if you encounter a ghost master-level spirit body?"
However, Akatsuki didn't answer, he could only half-believe, and walked on the deserted street with fear, a lot of grass stretched out from the cracks in the stone slabs of the street, and the same was true for the building tiles on both sides.
At ten o'clock, Ye Chen finally walked to the transition area of the city, not far from the center of the city, along the way, he not only walked through many streets and alleys, but also took the initiative to enter the dark and dusty dilapidated house, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, simply and neatly, but still did not find the spirit storage stone.
"There is a pavilion in front!" Ye Chen found that there was a clean river in front of him, and there was a small bridge across the river, and there was actually a pavilion carved with dragons and phoenixes in the middle of the bridge: "Go over and sit for a while, and eat something by the way!"
"Wait a minute, Ye Chen, you can't go to the pavilion in front, let's take a detour, hurry!" Just when Ye Chen wanted to take a step, Akatsuki's hurried voice suddenly came!
