Chapter 156: The City of Ruins
Xuanyuan Yichen flew out with Ziyue in his arms, standing by the pool, looking at the scene above the pool. I saw a green tower in the sky, which exuded a little bit of light, enveloping the entire green tower in it.
"Yue'er, let's go up and have a look!" After he finished speaking, he flew upward, and Ziyue exclaimed, but the next moment appeared on the spire of the Green Tower.
"Wow, that's spectacular!" She looked around and saw magnificent buildings, and the whole city was surrounded by green towers, like a general who would never get tired, silently guarding this ancient and vicissitudes of the underground city.
The only remaining cultivators in the pool below saw the two of them fly to the green tower, and they also flew upward.
"Jade Spirit Bead!" An old man exclaimed, reaching out to take it off, but was stopped by the people around him, "Don't move!" ”
The old man withdrew his hand and said with a bitter face: "I just touched it, it will be fine, right?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings began to change, and the green tower moved at a speed visible to the naked eye in their eyes, gradually changing, and the buildings under the green tower changed drastically. The original magnificent buildings gradually revealed their figures, and among the ruins, the ruins were broken and dilapidated.
As the Green Tower moved, centered on the Green Tower they were standing on, a huge six-star array formed throughout the city, trapping them firmly in it.
"How so?" Ziyue looked at the city below suspiciously, while Xuanyuan Yichen had a solemn expression on his face, "Yue'er, this is the face of this dungeon, but the jade spirit bead on this green tower is not stolen." If so, then we are in danger. ”
"Hmmm! I'll ask! She turned her head to look at the old man who had just touched the jade spirit bead, "Excuse me, is the jade spirit bead on your top the one that was stolen?" ”
"Girl, the jade spirit bead on this green tower was stolen. You see, there is one on each of the surrounding ones, seven jade spirit beads, but less than half of them were stolen, and the rest must have been hidden elsewhere! ”
"What?" Ziyue and Xuanyuan Yichen suddenly felt that things were getting more and more weird, so they did. They want to get out. It is even more difficult, and the jade spirit beads on the green tower are not even half, which means that there is still a hidden formation here.
"No, the breath of life around this jade spirit bead is very strong. If it is used as a defensive array bead in the city. It's impossible to have that. She flew away from the Green Tower. Looking at the tall array tower shrouded in green light, the confusion in his eyes became more and more serious.
"No, we have to go down and see what's going on?" She muttered to herself. Acting is always faster than the brain. When she came back from her thoughts, she was already in the city.
The dilapidated house was crumbling, as if a strong wind was blowing and it would crash to the ground. On both sides of the street, there is dust left behind by the weathering of rotten wood, and some even maintain their prototypes, standing quietly outside the pawnshops.
She stepped on the ground, and dust came to her face. Walking on it, the ancient, vicissitudes of life breathed around her, and the sound of "step, step, step" appeared behind her, startling her to turn around immediately, and when she saw that it was Xuanyuan Yichen, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at him with disgust, "Yichen, don't you know, people are scary, scared to death?" ”
"I'm sorry!" He stepped forward quickly and walked side by side with her.
The two of them walked down the street, passing the weathered stalls, and turned into an alley, where they saw a man hanging on the wall. Yes, it is indeed hanging, not standing, not lying, but indeed hanging on it.
The man's eyes were hollow and his body was dry, but the faint breath of life let them know that the man was still alive.
"Yichen, can you save it?" Ziyue couldn't bear it, and it was inconvenient for her to do it, otherwise the wrong jar beside her would definitely be beaten.
"Good!" He answered, and flew to bring the man down, but the other party did not react.
"Wake up! Wake up! ”
She gently patted his body, but the other party still did not react, the breath of life was rapidly weakening, and in just a moment, the faint vitality lost its senses. And the body weathered at a speed visible to the naked eye, turned into a gust of wind, and disappeared before their eyes.
"How strange? There was still the breath of life just now, why did it die in just a moment, and it quickly weathered. ”
"Let's go, let's look for it, is there anyone like this?" Xuanyuan Yichen dragged her through the alley, looking for the humans who were still alive.
Passing by the end of the alley, they saw a child lying in the arms of a woman, and when they walked in, they found that they had already died, but their bodies were still there.
"Let's go! In this ruined city, there must still be such people, alive, I believe we can find them! After Ziyue finished speaking, she was ready to look for Xuanyuan Yichen separately, but he rejected it, and they still advanced and retreated together.
The two walked through the dark ruined alleys, turned over the charred shops, probed the crumbling halls, and along the way, saw the dry bodies lying under the ruins, saw the people in the huts as unconscious as puppets, and met the cultivators sitting, standing, or lying, all of which they saw in this ruined city.
Everything, whether dead or alive, but like a puppet-like cultivator, points to one thing, and that is the secret hidden in this dungeon.
"Yichen, do you feel weird around you?" The hem of the clothes was windless, and a strange aura shrouded the two of them, a white light flashed, and the body's protective aura automatically guarded them.
"Hmm!" He nodded in agreement.
"Oops!"
Ziyue exclaimed, pulled Xuanyuan Yichen and flew into the air, seeing that all the cultivators who were originally standing next to the green tower disappeared, overlooking the entire city, and saw them appear in the square in the city, but their faces were frightened, as if they had seen something terrifying.
"Let's go! Let's go down! The two of them appeared in front of everyone in an instant, but the aura here made her a little uncomfortable, Qinglian took the initiative to appear beside her, revolving around her, eliminating the intrusion of the strange aura. Then, the light emitted by the green lotus formed a curtain of light, enveloping everyone together.
"Ah, what's going on?"
"How did I get here?"
"You & Me"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they are very shocked that they appeared here, just now they just chased the purple moon and left, but in the blink of an eye, they didn't see the two of them, as for why they appeared here, they didn't have any memory.
"What is this?" A cultivator standing in the light curtain suddenly saw the green line that was constantly swimming in front of him, shuttling through the air, and exclaimed in surprise.
As he shouted, everyone looked out of the light curtain, only to see countless green rays of light shuttling through the air, dancing, and spreading out around.
"This is the breath of life!" Ziyue looked at the green light floating in the air, and suddenly remembered the man hanging on the wall she had met at the beginning, and finally understood why he died instantly, and there were so many cultivators in this city who were alive like puppets.
It turned out that they were all controlled by something, and the life force of their bodies was being continuously extracted.
"Yue'er, look at these life qi that is constantly shuttling in the air, they seem to be moving towards a certain place with a purpose!" Xuanyuan Yichen's words made her frightened, if her guess was correct, then this ancient and vicissitudes of dungeon was a big conspiracy, a place of purgatory. (To be continued......)
