Chapter Twenty-Six: The Temple of Tiru
The last one was Dumb's turn, he walked over nervously, and suddenly, a huge pressure pressed Dumb almost out of breath, as if he was going to crush him. The twenty surrounding Tiru warriors moved. Just when Dumb thought that his Hades Sword was discovered, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly came from the Hades Sword on his chest, and an extremely cold energy instantly surrounded his whole body, and the pressure around him disappeared instantly. A stone at the top of the temple gate suddenly emitted a puff of green smoke and a clatter. Dumb was startled, thinking that the temple had discovered the weapon on his body, and hurriedly reached out and touched his chest. Although he had only tried to practice that move once, he felt as if he was sure to use it.
The surrounding Tiru warriors didn't move again, still standing in place with their battle axes in their hands, and Dumb walked quickly into the temple of Tiru, and then breathed a sigh of relief. The cold sweat had already soaked his underwear, and he was very afraid to think about why he wanted to use the Hades Sword just now, if the Hades Sword was unsheathed, the evil power would emanate, and I was afraid that the twenty Tiru warriors around him would die. Perhaps, it was the inexplicable pressure that made me have the idea of using the Hades Sword. Putting down the hand pressed on his chest, Dumb took a deep breath, calmed down, and quickly chased after Xuanyue.
Entering the temple, it is a long and narrow road, there will be a torch every ten meters on both sides of the road, the light of the torch is not very bright, and the road looks very dim. Everyone was very cautious, and as they walked, they looked around, and everyone had the feeling of being watched, as if the temple contained a special energy.
Xuan Yue turned around and saw Dumb who had caught up, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you so slow?" ”
Dumb shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's go, Yueyue, do you think this place is very mysterious!" ”
Xuan Yue nodded, touched the phoenix blood that was a little hot on his chest, and said in a low voice: "There seems to be a special energy in this temple, which is very huge. ”
Yan Ju seemed to notice the conversation between Dumb and Xuanyue, turned his head and glared at them, Dumb hurriedly stopped talking and stopped talking.
Yan Ju and Yan Li led everyone to turn a few corners in the temple, and the front suddenly opened up, the road became wider, and they walked forward for about a few dozen meters, and suddenly the surroundings became extremely empty, and there were no torches on either side. Rock Giant and Rock Power stopped and stopped. Yan Li said respectfully: "Patriarch, we have brought people. ”
Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound, and the surroundings suddenly lit up, and dozens of huge torches were lit at the same time, and it turned out that this was a hall of several hundred square meters. There were hundreds of Tiru warriors standing on both sides of the hall, and the warriors outside, they were all holding huge long-handled battle axes, and there was a platform dozens of meters high in front of them, and there were two people standing on the high platform, one was a tall Puyan tribesman, who looked about sixty years old, wearing a gray robe covering his tall body, his long brown hair was scattered behind his back, his eyes were shining, and the burning gaze looked at Dumb and the others very uncomfortable. The person next to him, his whole body shrouded in a black cloak, could not see his face clearly, to the point of being like a magician, giving people a strange feeling.
The gray-robed old man waved his hand, and Yan Ju and Yan Li stepped aside, bowing their heads and looking very respectful.
"Greetings, foreigners, welcome to the Tiru Temple of our Puyan Clan. I am Yan Fei, the patriarch of the Puyan tribe, and this is the Pulin prophet of our tribe. What happened to my son Rock no one wants to see, and he is still in a state of stupor. Yan Li was very uncalm before, and tried to hurt you, and I apologize to you for him. Now, please tell me in detail about how you met my son, and don't miss anything. Yan Fei's expression was extremely heavy, obviously sad for what happened to his son.
Hearing Yan Fei speak so politely, Moon Scar couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, stepped forward, and said, "Hello, respected patriarch of the Puyan clan. Several of us are mercenaries, and we are about to go to the Tian Yuan Clan to complete a mercenary mission, passing through the noble territory,...... "Moon Scar has a strong ability to express, and he explained in detail how he encountered the rock, and everything that happened later.
After listening to the narrative of the moon mark, Yan Fei fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he looked at the black-robed man beside him and said, "Prophet Pulin, what do you think of this matter. ”
A deep and old voice echoed in the hall, "Patriarch, with my ability, I can only meet some images in the future, but I can't judge everything, I have already seen the corpses of Rock and Yun'er, it is certain that these foreigners in front of me are not the murderers of Yun'er, can't you see that they are all virgins?" You remember when I was a kid on the rock, I said that when he was twenty-six years old, he had a catastrophe that had a great impact on the rock. Although this catastrophe will cause great damage to the rocks, it is not a life-threatening situation, and when the catastrophe occurs, it is also the beginning of his new life, and he will meet the noble people in his life. That noble man is the one who can enter the temple with weapons. As long as this noble man is there, the rock will be able to save the day. However, if the perpetrator of this attack kills the rock before he regains consciousness, the rock will remain in hell forever and will not be able to live forever. ”
Yan Fei was stunned and said, "Prophet Pulin, who is the noble man you are talking about?" ”
Prophet Purin lifted the black cloak from his head, revealing a head full of gray hair, and his old face was wrinkled, but he had a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. Even Xuan Yue, who was empty-eyed, couldn't help but lower her head when she saw these eyes. In the hall, only Dumb can look at him without being affected. Prophet Purin glanced at the dumb people and said, "This person has appeared, in the midst of this group of foreigners. But this is a heavenly opportunity, and it cannot be easily revealed, so please treat these foreigners kindly. From tomorrow onwards, let them be with the rock, and it will bring the rock out of its sorrow. Before you do that, though, you need to take care of the rocks. ”
Yan Fei's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he said, "Thank you, Prophet Pulin, Yan Ju, and Yan Li, you will lead the warriors of the clan to protect the safety of the rock tonight." ”
Yan Li was a little puzzled and said, "Dear Prophet Pulin, since there are nobles from Big Brother Rock in this group, why don't you let them go and be with Big Brother Rock now?" Wouldn't they be able to help Big Brother Rock recover faster? ”
Prophet Purin smiled kindly and said, "Yanli, you are still so reckless. All this is arranged by providence, and I can't talk about it more, so let's do what the patriarch instructs. ”
Yan Ju pulled Yan Li and said, "Respect the instructions of the patriarch. ”
Yan Fei glanced thoughtfully at Prophet Pulin, and said to Dumb and the others: "Okay, Yan Li, you can take these foreigners to rest first." Tomorrow morning, according to the prophet's method, he will invite all the guests to get along with the rock. ”
Yan Li agreed, looked at Dumb and the others, and said lightly: "Everyone, please." ”
Just as Dumb and the others were about to leave with Yan Li and Yan Ju, Prophet Purin suddenly said, "Wait a minute. ”
Everyone looked back blankly and looked at Pulin, who said, "This little brother and this young lady, please stay." I have something to say to you. ”
Needless to point out that Dullness and Xuan Yue felt that Purin was talking about themselves at the same time, Xuan Yue asked, "Is there anything you can't say now?" In Xuan Yue's eyes, the old prophet in front of her was the only person who could make her feel frightened except for the Holy See cardinal priest and the pope, and she naturally spoke a lot more politely.
Prophet Purin smiled and said, "There are some things that must be said to you alone. Don't you want to listen to me, an old man? ”
Purin's kind smile deeply infected Dumb, and the cordial feeling filled his heart like a tide, although it was only the first time they met, it seemed that they had known each other for a long time.
Moon Scar glanced at Dumb and Xuanyue, and said, "Since the prophet has something to say to you, we will go back first." ”
Yan Fei coughed and said, "Yan Ju, Yan Li, why don't you take the guests to rest quickly." The safety of the rocks is your responsibility at night, so don't make any mistakes. ”
Yan Ju and Yan Li looked at each other, bowed and said, "Yes." After saying that, he took Moon Scar and the others back from the same way and walked towards the outside of the Tiru Temple. Only Dumb and Xuanyue stayed.
Prophet Purin closed his eyes and said, "It's evening, it's time for dinner." Patriarch, you have something to do, remember what I said. ”
Although Yan Fei was the patriarch of the Puyan clan, he seemed to have great respect for this old man's sacrifice, and when he heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll go first, Prophet Pulin." With that, he walked out quickly. In the hall of the temple, apart from the Tiru warrior who still did not move, only Xuanyue, Dumb, and the mysterious Prophet Purin remained.
Prophet Purin descended the stairs from the platform, his body trembling and looking extremely weak, as if he was completely dependent on the wooden staff in his hand to support his body.
Dumb looked at the stumbling footsteps of Prophet Purin, his heart was unbearable for a while, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to support him, when his hands held Prophet Purin, Prophet Purin's eyes flashed a gleam, Dumb felt as if he had been completely seen through, and his whole body was cold.
Prophet Purin sighed and said, "It's old, it's really old, and it's not good for you." Go, kids, I'll take you somewhere. After speaking, he turned his head to the platform he had just come down from, beckoned to Xuanyue, and motioned for her to come over. In comparison, Xuan Yue is much more vigilant than Dumb, and it can be seen from Prophet Pulin's letting them stay and his attitude towards Yan Fei that this old man with white hair definitely has a supreme position in the entire Puyan clan, and why did he leave himself and Dumb as two outsiders? Aren't the Puyan people the most hated by outsiders? Although she thought so, Xuan Yue still walked over, she didn't know why she would go so easily, but she also understood that this Purin prophet had no ill will towards herself and Dumb.
Prophet Pulin looked at Xuanyue who walked beside him and said, "Little girl, do you have anything to worry about this old man like me?" Let me tell you, the Temple of Tiru is the most sacred place of our Puyan people. Here, you must not do anything dirty, otherwise, you will definitely be punished by the gods. Ah, boys, I've been waiting for you for a long time. As he spoke, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared on Prophet Pulin's body, pulling Dumb and Xuanyue tightly beside him, and he raised the wooden staff in his hand and recited a few incantations in a low voice. With a flash of light, Xuan Yue and Dumb felt that they had entered a strange world at the same time. His body seems to be out of his control, and the surroundings are full of unbelievable colors, colorful points of light continue to float past his body, and the feeling of dizziness constantly fills the bodies of the two, they want to shout, but they can't make a sound, they want to struggle, but they can't control their bodies. Beside them, Prophet Prim closed his eyes and whispered some incantation.
It was dark in front of them, and all the points of light disappeared, just when Xuanyue and Dumb were surprised and inexplicable, their eyes suddenly lit up again, and all the sensations instantly returned to the whole body, and the suction generated from Prophet Pulin was gone. Dumb and Xuanyue found that they appeared in a corridor, and at their feet, there was a huge golden magic six-pointed star, and there were many very complex symbols on the six-pointed star, not only Dumb couldn't understand it, even Xuanyue, who was born in the Holy See, couldn't identify it. The walls on both sides of the corridor were inlaid with fiery red gems slightly smaller than fists, constantly emitting a faint light, and with the eyes of Dumb and Xuan Yue, they could only barely see things within ten meters. Xuanyue clearly knew that this red gem was called Huoyun, although it was not very precious, but it was still very surprising that such a large Huoyun stone appeared at once, and if you want Huoyun to shine, you must have the support of magic power, it seems that this Tiru Temple really contains a lot of secrets.
Prophet Purin stood there silent as if nothing had happened. Xuan Yue was in a hurry, and subconsciously used the most ordinary low-level magic illumination technique of the light system. However, she was surprised to find that there seemed to be no magical element in the air around her, and no matter how much she chanted the incantation, no magic fluctuations occurred.
"Don't try, kid, no one can use magic here, except me. It can be said that it is my field. After speaking, he waved the wooden staff in his hand again, and a wind elemental force suddenly appeared in the originally empty corridor, gently lifting the bodies of the three people, and slowly drifting towards the depths of the corridor. After a distance of about a hundred meters, a red fire cloud stone will appear on the walls on the left and right, providing a trace of light, Xuan Yue knows that the magic level of this Pulin prophet in front of him has reached a very high level, and the magic he used before may be the legendary magic array teleportation, which is the magic that even his father can't do! And now, although the wind magic he used was not profound, it seemed that it didn't take much effort to use another kind of magic in this place without any magic elements, which made her very surprised. Dumb was surprised by what had happened, but he never spoke, and he had an inexplicable trust in Purin, which made him not have any fear.
I don't know how long it took, the wind element disappeared, and the three of them fell to the ground, and there were two tall stone doors in front of them, and on both sides of the stone gate, there was a Tiru warrior, different from those Tiru warriors outside, these two warriors were not only taller, but also the armor on their bodies emitted a faint golden light, and at the same time as the three of them landed, the long-handled battle axes in their hands crossed together, blocking the way of the three of them. A powerful and serene momentum emanated from the two Tiru warriors, instantly enveloping the three of them, and the huge pressure made Dumb and Xuanyue almost out of breath, they couldn't have the slightest idea of resisting at all, because these two Tiru warriors were too powerful, and the surging pressure suppressed Xuanyue and Dumb completely immobilized.
As if he didn't know the condition of Dumb and Xuanyue, Pulin stood there without moving. And the Tiru warriors' coercion didn't seem to have any effect on him.
The huge pressure made Dumb and Xuan Yue's bodies gradually unable to support it, Dumb looked at Xuan Yue's painful appearance, his heart was shocked, and he roared, urging the raw true qi in his body to the limit, and a faint white halo came out of his body, blocking himself and Xuan Yue.
Xuanyue's whole body was light, her body was already able to move, she turned her head to look at Dumb, only to see that he was already half-kneeling on the ground, beads of sweat kept sliding down Dumb's forehead, and the white light in front of herself and Dumb kept trembling, she understood that Dumb had taken all the pressure to himself. Xuan Yue's heart was shocked, she clearly understood that all this was for herself! Gratitude filled her heart, and she did not hesitate to pull out the blood of the phoenix from her neckline.
As if sensing the danger as well, the blood of the phoenix emitted a strange red glow, dissolving into Dumb's white fighting qi, resisting the huge pressure.
Dumb had already reached the limit, and a wisp of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, and the blood of the phoenix helped him share part of the pressure in time, and Dumb suddenly felt a lot easier. In the face of danger, Dumb subconsciously, his right hand had already touched the Hades Sword on his chest, and the cold and evil aura suddenly emanated, a faint gray light appeared from Dumb's chest, and the red glow of the phoenix's blood dimmed, and under the action of white, gray, and red light, the pressure on Dumb and Xuanyue's bodies was completely blocked three feet in front of them.
The two Tiru warriors seemed to sense the change in their bodies, and raised their long-handled battle axes in their hands, making them look ready to attack.
Xuan Yue and Dumb were shocked at the same time, just now the pressure had already exhausted the two of them, if the two incomparably powerful warriors in front of them attacked, the consequences were really unimaginable. Xuanyue Sakura's mouth opened slightly, ready to chant the strongest spell of the phoenix's blood, and Dumb also made a gesture of preparing to use the Hades Sword. Dumb clearly felt that although the evil power of the Hades Sword was strong, it would not harm Xuanyue, who was protected by the blood of the phoenix, with its evil qi alone. And the unfathomable prophet of Purin was not even more worried about him, he had to deal with only these two exceptionally powerful warriors.
Just as the attack on both sides was about to break out, Prophet Purin finally opened his eyes and said lightly, "Okay, stop." Two blue rays of light emanated from him, piercing through the defenses of Xuanyue and Dumb, and shooting directly at the eyebrows of the two Tiru warriors. The two Tiru warriors retracted their tomahawks at the same time, and as if nothing had happened, they stood back and the pressure disappeared at the same time.
Dumb and Xuanyue both had a feeling of leaning forward, Dumb was the most forced, and couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body was weak, half-kneeling there, gasping loudly. Xuanyue was not much better, her face was pale, her sideburns were soaked with sweat, her right hand held the blood of the phoenix tightly, and she glared at Prophet Pulin,
Two soft white rays of light emanated from Prophet Purin's hands, and they shrouded Xuanyue and Dumb like lightning. Under the effect of the light, both of them felt warm and indescribably comfortable all over their bodies at the same time, as if the previous tiredness and trauma seemed to have disappeared. Dumb stood up, glanced at Xuanyue, who was a little flustered, and then asked Pulin, "Prophet, what's going on?" ”
A soft smile appeared on Prophet Pulin's face, and he sighed, "That's right, the combination of good and evil, the unity of light and darkness, with the blood of the phoenix as the guide, has passed through many barriers. We've finally met, you, the people I've been waiting for for thirty years! ”
Don't say that Dumb doesn't understand, even the extremely smart Xuanyue is stunned. She snorted slightly, "Prophet Purin, should you explain this to us?" ”
Prophet Pulin glanced at Xuanyue and said, "Behind these two stone gates, the secrets of our Puyan clan for thousands of years have been preserved, and the reason why you have been able to come here is entirely because of the guidance of the gods. Children, when you follow me into these two stone gates, your fate will be changed, and everything will follow the direction of the gods. Go, in it, and I'll tell you everything you want to know, thirty years! I've finally waited for you. With that, he waved the wooden staff in his hand, and with the sound of rattling, two tall stone doors slowly opened, and behind the stone doors was darkness, and the prophet Pulin paused and said, "Follow me." After saying that, he seemed to be full of thoughts and walked inside.
Xuan Yue leaned over to Dumb and asked with concern, "How are you?" You okay. ”
Dumb glanced at the Tiru warriors on both sides of the stone gate, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine, let's go." ”
Xuanyue nodded, she had already arrived here, and there was no way back, so she could only move forward, take one step at a time. The two followed Prophet Purin and entered the dark stone gate. The moment they stepped into the stone gate, the stone door behind them suddenly closed, and a loud sound continued to echo in the empty grotto.
Xuan Yue's body shook, grabbed Dumb's warm and generous hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Dumb, you, you have to protect me!" "In this mysterious and strange temple, even if you are as bold as Xuanyue, you can't help but be afraid.
Dumb felt that Xuan Yue was so helpless and weak for the first time, and couldn't help but arouse the protection in his chest, and held Xuan Yue's hand tightly, and his whole body emitted a faint white light, protecting himself and Xuan Yue. Xuan Yue's whole body was warm and comfortable, and her whole body leaned on Dumb, as if only there was her haven.
It's a confined space with no light, and surprisingly, there's no stuffiness here.
"In my name, by your power, go, the power of God." The old voice of the prophet Pulin sounded, and the surroundings suddenly lit up, Xuanyue and Dumb found that this was a not very large grotto, and the light was emitted from the gems on the surrounding walls, and the faint yellow light brought light to the cave, and the prophet Pulin stood in the center of the cave, staring at the stone wall in front of him. The surrounding stone walls, including the cave roof, are covered in frescoes, and the huge lifelike murals look very mysterious in the light of the gemstones.
Prophet Pulin slowly walked to Dumb and Xuanyue's side, sighed, and said, "Children, this is the place where the experience of my Puyan clan is recorded. ”
Xuan Yue frowned and said, "What does your Puyan Clan's 10,000-year experience have to do with us, why do you have to bring us here?" ”
Pu Lin didn't answer Xuan Yue's question directly, smiled slightly, and said, "Little girl, how old do you think I am this year?" ”
Xuan Yue looked at the wrinkles on his face suspiciously, and said, "You are so old, how can you be eighty or ninety years old?" ”
A sad look flashed in Pu Lin's eyes, he shook his head, and said, "Patriarch Yanfei and I grew up playing together, he is sixty-two years old this year, and I am one year younger than him. ”
Xuan Yue and Dumb looked at Pulin in surprise at the same time, Purin smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Do you know why I look so old at the age of only sixty-one? ”
Dumb shook his head blankly, and Xuan Yue said thoughtfully: "Is it because of your prophetic title?" ”
Pu Lin nodded and said: "You are right, a prophet like me, and your Holy See's sacrifice is the same in some places, we are all the most loyal believers of the Heavenly Gods, in terms of strength, I am much worse than the Holy See's sacrifice." However, I have one more ability than them. Speaking of this, two gleams flashed in Purin's eyes, "I have more than them, that is, I have the ability to predict the future. Children, the prophets of our Puyan tribe, have absolute power in the clan, and even the patriarch must obey the prophet's commands. There are more than 30 tribes in the Puyan tribe, and this is the largest one, and the Tiru Temple is the place where the prophet worships the gods and senses the future. There can only be one prophet of the Puyan tribe, and they are all appointed by the prophets of the previous generation. I can say that he is the most gifted prophet of all ages. A few years ago, the blood day came, little girl of the Holy See, you should know. ”
Xuan Yue's heart moved, and she lost her voice: "Do you mean the Millennium Tribulation?" You, how do you know that I am a member of the Holy See? ”
Pu Lin smiled slightly, and said: "As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that the divine aura emanating from your body is not something that ordinary light magicians can have, if my guess is right, your elder must be a red-clothed priest in the Holy See, and if you can wear the blood of the Holy See's Supreme Treasure Phoenix for you, then you must have an extraordinary relationship with the Pope." Am I right? ”
Xuan Yue nodded blankly, "Then you called us here, is it related to the Millennium Tribulation?" ”
Dumb looked at Xuan Yue and Pu Lin in surprise, and said, "What's going on with the Millennium Tribulation?" What does it have to do with the bloody rain five years ago? ”
Xuan Yue snorted and said, "When the blood day is in the sky, there will be demons, blood rain will spread the world, the catastrophe will be completed, and the thousand-year catastrophe is about to befall the continent." Don't you even know this legend? ”
Dumb said blankly: "I don't know, what does this thousand-year-old tribulation have to do with us?" ”
Purin sighed and said, "If it had nothing to do with you, I wouldn't have called you here." It is the gods who have guided you to me, the great savior of calamity. ”
Before Dumb could react, Xuan Yue's whole body trembled in surprise, "You, what did you say?" Do you say that we are the saviors of the millennium? "The Savior is very clear to her, and on the day of Blood Day five years ago, the Pope issued an order for all the clergy to work together to find the upcoming Savior. And the Pope has only one line of guidance, and that is, "Good, evil, dragon, phoenix, love." These few words for unknown reasons have made all the clergy brainless, and for five years, there has been no sound training at all. The Pope once said that if the savior could not be found, the world would be in turmoil, and the whole continent would be covered in blood.
Prophet Purin turned around, turned his back to Dumb and Xuanyue, and said, "Although the Pope is full of divine powers, he is still a sacrificial person after all. The reason why I can clearly know that you are the savior is not only because of my prophetic identity, but more importantly, thirty years ago, when the blood day had not yet come, when I begged for the fate of our Puyan tribe at the cost of thirty years of life, I received more detailed instructions from God, and this instruction is related to the savior. That's why you see me so old. I'm sixty-one years old, and with thirty years to live, I'm ninety-one years old. Son, say what you know about the Savior. ”
Xuan Yue was completely shocked, and the dumb beside her still didn't understand what Pulin and Xuan Yue were talking about.
Xuan Yue said: "When the Pope was fighting against the Blood Sun, he got a little clue about the savior, only a few vague words, 'Good, evil, dragon, phoenix, love. Although this was a secret of the Holy See, Xuan Yue said it. The old prophet in front of her gave her a sense of reverence.
