Chapter 14: The Finale (2)
As I expected, nothing happened along the way, and we reached an altar more than ten meters high. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was a large space, empty on all sides, except for a large altar in the middle. The entire altar is made of black lazuli, and only the side we face has an upward staircase.
We glanced at each other, and then the Black Wind Order led the team to the altar, and then climbed the stairs.
I have to say that going to the altar is a very painful thing, because the moment my feet stepped on the stone steps of the altar, I felt that the power of the blood in my body was instantly drained, and my two feet weighed as much as a thousand catties, and every step up was a kind of torture. At first, when the power of the bloodline disappeared, I thought that something had sucked the power of my bloodline, and when I withdrew the power of the bloodline of my feet, I returned to my body, and then I stepped on the steps with peace of mind.
I looked around and saw that the others were also walking up with very difficult expressions, so I took the second step with confidence, and then walked up step by step.
The pressure on the altar on us was very huge, the competition was completely human strength, more than ten meters high steps, we walked for almost an hour to climb to the top, and rested several times in the middle. The first of us to arrive was Lord Invincible, because he was the one with the best physical strength among us. The Jue family attaches great importance to the cultivation of the physical strength of the clansmen, and as the patriarch, Jue is invincible, not to mention his physical strength. Of course, the last person is me, after all, I am also a daughter, and under normal circumstances, my physical strength is naturally not as good as that of men.
When I reached the altar on the last step, all the pressure disappeared in an instant, but the power of the bloodline still didn't come back, so I had to learn from the other five people who had already fallen to the ground in collapse and gasp for breath.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, you're finally here!" Long Yang shouted sweating profusely, lying on the ground weakly panting for breath.
I finally regained some strength after lying down for a while, and slowly propped myself up, only to find that the others were still lying down, as if they had not recovered at all.
I looked at Long Yang, who was closest to me, and asked, "Long Yang, are you feeling better?" ”
Long Yang was still sweating profusely, his face was much paler, and he gasped at me and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I don't think my physical strength has recovered at all, why can you sit up so quickly?" ”
"Yes! Something is not right, and it seems that our physical strength has never recovered! Black Wind Ling also gasped and said.
At this time, I was able to stand up, I slowly got up and walked to their side to check, their physical strength did not show any signs of recovery, and with the consumption of their bodies, it was still slowly dissipating.
"What the hell is going on? Why can't you recover your strength? ”
"I guess it's the altar! You have the soul of a goddess in you, and the altar can't help you, so you can recover your strength quickly, but we are different, we can only do this. Black Wind Ling said: "It's not so simple to enter the tomb of Chiyou, this altar is a formation to enter, and it exists to consume our physical strength. If you want to regain your strength, you can only leave the altar. ”
"Leave the altar? Do you want me to carry you off the altar one by one? I asked, confused.
Black Wind Ling shook his head: "Since we have already come here, how can we give up." Hurry up and open the formation, I think as long as we really enter the tomb, we can isolate the influence of the altar on us. ”
I couldn't make up my mind for a while: "If you are still like this after entering the tomb, then I have not harmed you?" ”
"Probably not!" Black Wind Ling said: "If you continue to consume it here, it will harm us, and our remaining physical strength can no longer withstand the long-term consumption here." ”
Seeing them getting weaker and weaker, I didn't hesitate anymore and got up and began to observe the entire altar.
Now I can see that the whole altar is pentagular, and there is a small raised altar in the center of the altar. After searching around the altar, I soon found a way to open the formation.
The altar is five-sided, and there is a depression on the edge of each side, which is exactly the size of the five spirit jade, presumably used to place the five spirit jade. The small altar in the center of the altar is a cylinder with elaborate carvings. There is a sword hole in the center above the cylinder, and the whole cylinder is like a scabbard, waiting for the sword to be put into the scabbard.
After determining the orientation of the surroundings, I put the five spirit jades into the five depressions according to their respective directions. After all this was done, I came to Hei Fengling's side, picked up the Xuanyuan Sword he was carrying, and walked to the altar.
My whole body trembled a little, and my hand holding the sword trembled even more. Just now, the owner of the tomb seemed to have sensed our arrival and exuded a strong oppressive force. I was shocked by this great force, and I felt that our power was like ants in front of him. Is there still a possibility that we can fight him?
I closed my eyes and thought about the past, the memories of the Divine Dragon, the memories of the Yellow Emperor, the smiles of my senior brother and Qin Nanfei...... And the beautiful world outside, these are all I want to protect, and I can't just give up here.
So I raised the Xuanyuan sword and plunged it into the altar with a sword.
The entire altar instantly turned black, and I felt that something was pouring into my body in the huge suction, and the light was blending into my soul little by little.
In an instant, we were sucked into the altar and appeared in a brightly lit space.
I slowly opened my eyes, and I felt that the power of the bloodline had returned to my body, and my physical strength had also recovered, and the goddess soul in my body was much richer than before, as if the entire goddess soul had returned to my soul.
Could it be that when I opened the formation before, the other goddess souls entered my body?
Suddenly, a pressure from the front made me a little breathless, and the goddess soul in my body moved, helping me relieve some of the pressure, and there was no more movement.
The Black Wind had restored them to their previous state, but like me, their faces were ugly because of the force.
It's not a big space, but it's light, and the rocks around it are carved into all sorts of pavilions, flowers and trees, and if all of this is real, it might be a paradise.
Passing through these cold pavilions, flowers and trees, we saw a huge sarcophagus not far away, lying quietly on a large flat rock, surrounded by the bones of a dragon.
I thought that this skeleton belonged to the black dragon, but I didn't expect it to be dead long ago, and only this skeleton is still in this world.
There was silence all around, except for the constant power emanating from the sarcophagus, which made us very uncomfortable and even a little frightened.
"What now?" Long Yang asked out loud, but his voice was very small.
Seeing that everyone was silent, I said, "Leave it to me first!" ”
I found a hidden place and changed into the goddess's plain clothes, pinned the Qilin Dance and the Divine Dragon Blood Jade to my waist, and finally put the Fuxiqin on my back, then jumped on the rock where the sarcophagus was located, found a flat place to sit down, took out the Fuxiqin and began to play.
The score of the piece was given by the Dark Night Moon North, and I practiced it for a long time to learn it for today. Now I also feel pleasant when I listen to this piano, like flowing water, very smooth and beautiful.
With the sound of music, there was movement in the sarcophagus, and then with a "bang", the coffin lid was completely lifted and fell to the side. A handsome man in a black robe sat up from the coffin and slowly turned his head to look at me, his eyes full of tenderness.
Seeing his face is familiar to me, because I have seen him more than once in the memories of Shenlong, and I have seen him grow from a young boy to a powerful god of war today. The look in his eyes now is the same as when he looked at the goddess, and this look makes me a little moved.
But when I felt his powerful aura, I couldn't help but start to get nervous.
He had come out of the coffin and was slowly walking towards me. As he got closer, I became more and more nervous, and fine beads of sweat appeared on my forehead, but my hands still didn't stop. I couldn't stop the sound of the piano, and I couldn't let him feel my nervousness.
Soon he was already in front of me, the hem of his black robe fluttering slightly, and his domineering temperament like a king exuded outward. He stood still in front of me, then reached out and grabbed my playing hand and pulled me up.
"Asu! You're finally back! He called out softly, and then took me into his arms.
I didn't react at all, I was just stunned and hugged by him, as if I had lost my soul, completely forgetting who I was and what I should do.
"Ayu!" The goddess soul inside me was surging wildly, shouting the name without me knowing it.
He hugged me tighter, put his head on my shoulder and whispered, "Asu! Asu! My Asu! ”
It took me a while to fully recover and react.
What was the situation just now? Could it be that the goddess soul has controlled me?
Thinking back to what had just happened, I gradually understood what had happened. Although I was very nervous, I also knew that it was a good time for me to start when he was holding me so defenselessly, but why couldn't I do it and didn't want to do it?
