69. Chapter 69
As soon as Qiē was ready, everyone naturally began to go to the Demon Gate Underground Palace.
Su Xian had been there once, although he was still young at the beginning, he had a deep impression of the underground palace, and it didn't take much time to find the way. It took only a day and a night to go west, and at dawn the next day they finally saw a towering wall in a patch of yellow sand. However, the city wall was in a dilapidated state, and the stone wall had weathered in the desert for many years, and its original shape was no longer visible.
Ximen Yue looked at it from a distance, frowned and asked Su Xian, "That's the old site of the Demon Gate?" ”
"Yes, the entrance to the dungeon is inside." Su Xian looked at the place from afar, and from the back of the city wall, he could vaguely see an open gate, and there was a black hole inside, and he couldn't see the situation inside.
In fact, the old site of the Demon Gate was not like this before, according to legend, the only place connected to the Demon World and the Human World is the Gate of the Demon World, after the war between gods and demons more than 2,000 years ago, the Gate of the Demon World was destroyed, and the demons could not return to the Demon World, they stayed in the original position of the Gate of the Demon World to establish the Demon Gate, and then after thousands of years of wind and clouds, hundreds of years ago, the Demon Gate was finally wiped out, everyone entered the palace of the Demon Gate, and searched the inside, and the Demon Gate became an empty city completely. Later, there were many brave people in the world who came here to take away the valuable things in the Demon Gate, and some people wanted to find the special exercises of the Demon Gate, and in the next few hundred years, the old site of the Demon Gate was repeatedly looted, and finally fell into the current appearance.
It wasn't until later that someone discovered the storage zài of the Demon Gate Underground Palace.
Different from the Demon Gate Palace, the underground palace is a very dangerous place, and there are not a few brave people, everyone did not find any rare treasures in the palace outside, so they felt that those things should be hidden in the underground palace, and people have been going for many years, but in the end, very few people can come out of it alive, and even if they come out alive, it is since then, when it comes to the underground palace, it is like earth.
"Ah Xian, has your cultivation been restored?" Standing outside the old site of the Demon Gate, Chu Qingjiu couldn't help but ask the question he was most worried about.
Su Xian looked down at his palm, hooked the corners of his lips, and nodded.
Her cultivation had not yet fully recovered, but she could feel that those cultivation had slowly returned, and she didn't want Chu Qingjiu to worry.
In fact, she found that every time she used the power of the previous Xuanyue Sect Master, after cultivating to recover, her own strength would be stronger than before, and she knew that she seemed to be using those abilities for her own purposes, and the process was very long. This time, when her spiritual power is fully restored, she will definitely be even higher than before, but even she herself can't say how much she can improve.
A gust of wind swept in, sprinkling the yellow sand on the ruins in front of him, and the little fox seemed to feel something different, shrunk his neck on the puppet Xiao Chu's body, and drilled into Xiao Chu's arms.
Ximen Yue also frowned, and said to Su Xian: "Do you really want to go in with me?" ”
"I've come so far, and there's absolutely no reason to retreat." Su Xian nodded.
Ximen Yue smiled, her expression had always been cold, but at this time, for some reason, she finally brought some warmth, she muttered: "You have done so much for Xiao Chu, if he knows under the spring, he must be very happy." ”
When Su Xian heard her words, he couldn't help but look at Chu Qingjiu.
Chu Qingjiu looked strange, shook his head and said, "It's too late to worry, where is the happiness." ”
Su Xian coughed lightly, and then he took a step forward and entered the city wall of the old site of the Demon Gate.
The palace wall is very large, although the surrounding buildings are dilapidated, but still vaguely see the glorious scene of the year, Su Xian is familiar with this place, and after a short time, he passed through a stone forest and arrived in front of the huge open cave.
"I'll go ahead." Su Xian said a word and entered the cave first.
Ximen Yue followed behind Su Xian, and the two entered the cave, only to find that what others said was really good, the cave looked dilapidated from the outside, but after walking along a winding road, the three of them were in front of them, and a spacious underground palace appeared in front of them.
Although this palace is underground, the four walls and lamp stands are dotted with night pearls, and I don't know how many there are at a glance, but it is dazzling and splendid. If you look closely, you will still find that the night pearl in this underground palace seems to have been broken off a lot, and there are still traces of hard chiseling on the wall. The whole hall is very spacious, as if you can still see the appearance of the past, but the larger it is, the more empty it appears. Su Xian watched it for a long time, and she didn't find any mystery from it, but she was about to walk forward, but the sound of Chu Qingjiu came from behind her.
"There's a formation at this door." He stood at the entrance to the main hall, looking a little annoyed, "I should have found out that this formation only allows people to enter, but not to go out, and the formation was opened from when we stepped here." ”
Su Xian understood when he heard this, thinking that so many people entered the underground palace but there was no way to get out, there should be a reason for this formation.
Su Xian looked at Chu Qingjiu with the intention of inquiry, Chu Qingjiu looked down at the door in front of him, shook his head and said: "This formation is much better than the formation in the Seven Seas Abyss, although it is difficult to solve, but it is not impossible to solve after spending some time." ”
Since this is the case, Su Xian is a little relieved. Now is not the time to dissolve the formation, they are all here, so naturally they have to go deeper into the underground palace to find the trace of Nanchen.
"Let's go." Ximen Yue saw Su Xian standing in front of the door in a daze, and finally couldn't bear to say a word.
Su Xian nodded and followed Ximen Yue through this spacious hall, and soon found the entrance at the back of the hall, they walked all the way, the entrance was a narrow passage, and the road was still full of night pearls along the way, and people would not be able to see the road ahead clearly during the period. Su Xian and Ximen Yue glanced at each other, there was only this road in front of them, and they naturally had to go.
The passage was very long, and when he passed by, Su Xian even noticed some strange lines carved on the wall, but after a moment's pause, Su Xian saw that it was the text of the Demon Realm.
Together, the words become a complete story.
Su Xian had heard that story before, but the story on this wall was a little different from the version that Su Xian had heard.
The story is about the Great War of the Holy Demons 2,000 years ago.
The immortals came to the human realm, successfully defeated the demons, forced all the demons into the abyss of the seven seas, and burned them all in a fire. The fire lasted for three whole days, and when the flames were extinguished, the demons disappeared from the world, and the world returned to peace.
But no one expected that the demons would leave something behind in the abyss of the seven seas.
It was a piece of red spar formed by the gathering of thousands of demons after they were burned, and later the people of the Demon Gate called it - the heart of the Ten Thousand Souls.
The Ten Thousand Soul Demon Heart is something left behind by tens of thousands of demons after being burned by the soul fire for three full days, and its body is stained with the blood of demons, stained with the resentment and evil spirit of all demons, and it has become a most evil thing, and anyone who comes into contact with it will be infected by it and become bloodthirsty and crazy. As soon as the Demon Heart of All Souls came out, it was like another new catastrophe.
When the immortals were cleaning up the battlefield of the Seven Seas Abyss, they accidentally came into contact with the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Heart, and then the immortals slaughtered the human world. Later, the gods on the thirty-three days were finally alarmed, and they finally wanted to end this qiē in the lower realm, but the heart of the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon was still there, and no one could stop this catastrophe, and finally the Antarctic Immortal Emperor ignored everyone's obstruction, led the sky to thunder, burned the world, and turned all the people and immortals who were eroded by the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Heart into ashes.
And after this battle, the Ten Thousand Souls Demon Heart that brought a qiē natural disaster** has lost its trace.
The people in the Demon Gate wrote this story in its entirety, perhaps because they were also looking for this thing.
After reading this story, Su Xian was still puzzled in his heart, if the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Heart was really as stated in the story, how could such a domineering evil thing disappear? Wherever it falls and who it falls into, it should cause no small catastrophe. If this is not the case, then the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Heart may have been lost in some inaccessible barren mountains and mountains, so that no one has noticed it for so long.
But is the story of this demon gate really true?
Su Xian couldn't say clearly, she silently walked through this passage, Chu Qingjiu noticed that she was wrong, so she opened her mouth to ask, Su Xian shook her head, because Ximen Yue was beside her, it was inconvenient to say it, and she only planned to wait until she went out and then talk to Chu Qingjiu.
At the back of the passage, there was another palace, but it was much smaller than the one outside, and the strangest thing was that it was a round palace, with curved walls, and around the palace, including the place from which they came, there were eight gates, all tightly closed.
I had expected that there would be a fork in the road, but I didn't expect it to fork so much. Su Xian glanced at Chu Qingjiu, Chu Qingjiu observed for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, it shouldn't be a fork in the road, these doors are just a few rooms." He casually pointed to the nearest door and said tentatively, "Open it?" He paused and said, "Be careful." ”
Su Xian didn't know how he made this judgment, but as long as he opened the door, he naturally knew whether it was or not. She glanced at Ximen Yue, and then arrived at the gate, gathering enough strength, Su Xian put her hands on the heavy bronze gate in front of her, and pushed it away.
When pushing the door, Su Xian had already made sufficient preparations, if there was any mechanism formation in the door, she would be able to dodge it at the first time, but she couldn't imagine that there were some things that couldn't be avoided.
That's the stench.
After the door was pushed open, a disgusting smell immediately wafted out of the room, Su Xian hurriedly took a few steps back, raised his hand to cover his lips, and wanted to isolate the smell, and at the same time, the light of the night pearl in the hall shone into the door, and the situation behind the door was immediately visible.
Behind the door was a small stone chamber with rusty iron cables all over the floor, one end welded to the wall, and the other end tied to a decomposing corpse.
Su Xian Ninja was disgusted and walked closer to the stone room.
It can be seen that the person in the house will not die for too long, it should be two or three months, the corpse has no clothes on it, the whole body is festering, full of maggots, and pus stains the ground, but even so, Su Xian still saw clearly that the corpse should be there is no intact place on the body before death, his skin and flesh are rolling, especially on the arms and thighs, the scars on the top are deep and bone-seeing, and they are extremely miserable.
The man must have suffered all kinds of torture in his life before he finally collapsed and died in this stone chamber.
