Chapter 6: Temple of the Moonlit Night (3) Strange Purple Jade Pendant
"Senior...... Can youβDon't stare at me like that?"
The young man looked at the expression of the old man in front of him, and felt a chill constantly coming out of his body inexplicably.
"Hmph, stinky boy, you should know who you are now, right?"
Looking at the young man, who obviously still had no feelings about it, the old man couldn't help but say again: "I don't care if you remember it, you don't want to admit it, or you can't remember it, I can't believe it." β
"Hey, hey... But I can tell you in advance, the facts are in front of me, I will never admit my mistake to the old man of the bloodline, and I can't escape if you want to!"
"You... I don't think there's any opinion, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man tilted his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a very "kind" smile, squinting his eyes and staring at the young man tightly.
The young man blinked and looked confused for a moment, and he secretly wandered in his heart: It turns out that from the beginning, you old thing was calculating me, I rely on it, and I was still moved by your emotional remarks before.
Actually...... It's covered!
"Senior, you just said what do you want me to do, can't I admit it?"
The young man held his forehead helplessly and sighed.
"Hehe, that's right! β
"Boy, don't be so outside, you still have to call me uncle according to your generation!(The old man's father is the uncle of the Moon Night King) You were just born back then, hehe-hehe-I still hugged you!"
The old man smiled as he put on a satisfied expression of "you should be like this".
Ignoring the young man who stared at him with disdain, the old man then said solemnly: "Boy, when my Moonlit Night clan suffered a shocking catastrophe, I was able to survive because of that ring. β
"After many years of survival, I don't dare to forget the blood feud of the Moon Night Clan on my shoulders. β
"Over the years, I have never dared to slack off, and I have been secretly hiding in this dark ancient hall and cultivating desperately, just so that one day I can avenge the moonlight clan!"
"But...... As a soul body, no matter how much I try to do penance, I have now reached the end of my life, and I can't go any further. β
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but show bitterness and helplessness on his face: "Hehe, let alone revenge, now I can't even take half a step in this ancient palace." β
The loneliness, bitterness and helplessness on the old man's vicissitudes of life, and his self-deprecation unconsciously became more and more intense.
Seeing this, the young man couldn't help but ask strangely: "Senior, I see that your strength is so strong, I guess it's not far from the legendary Void God Realm you said, right?"
"There must have been a lot of people who found this before me, right? Didn't any of them make it in?"
"Why don't you try to give up others? β
Although the old man claimed to be his uncle, the young man must still not be able to call it at this time, after all, the young man has always been alone, and it is really difficult for him to suddenly call an old man who has only met for a long time "uncle", not to mention that even now he can't fully accept the old man's statement.
But he still took the doubts in his heart with a kind intention, and asked the old man, outside he also heard that a Xuan cultivator whose strength had reached a certain height could separate his soul from his body after suffering an incurable serious injury to his body, and instead go to occupy other Xuan cultivators whose strength was much lower than his own.
As for how high it takes to reach a certain height, although the boy himself is not very clear, but when he thinks that the white-haired old man in front of him existed hundreds of thousands of years ago after all, his strength must be terrifying and terrifying, and he must have already exceeded that height.
"Takeaway?"
"There have been people who have found this before you. β
After a pause, the old man shook his head: "However, I can't take it away. β
"At the beginning, I was sealed in the ring by my father with my soul body for tens of thousands of years, and I finally succeeded in cultivating, and only then did I break the ban on the ring and see the light of day again. β
"Although I am now a half-step void god, because I have been in the ring for too long, so long that my body has been worn away into nothingness, this soul can no longer find a suitable carrier. β
The old man looked at the young man and sighed slightly: "After all, if this world wants to find a body that can carry the soul of a half-step void god, it is tantamount to fishing for the moon in the water and talking about a dream." β
"I can only be completely attached to this ancient temple in the form of a broken soul. β
Speaking of this, the old man flicked the sleeve of his roof that may not have existed, and changed his face to a serious face.
"Besides, if I swear to take revenge with my own hands and take someone else's body or something, then I can't count it as myself. β
"I see. β
The boy couldn't help but feel very sorry when he heard it.
If the white-haired old man in front of him can really go out, he is completely invincible in this world, and he is a true god who is unparalleled in the world!
"Hehe, boy, you don't have to be too sad, after all, old man, I've lived long enough, if it weren't for revenge, I would have liked to get rid of myself as soon as possible and follow my father and them. β
It seemed that he could also see the sadness on the young man's face for a while, and the old man couldn't help but say comfort.
"I have been in this temple for hundreds of thousands of years, and gradually the temple is me, I am the temple, and I have become one with this temple."
"That's another major reason why I can't get out of here. β
Speaking of this, the old man unconsciously raised his eyes and looked around the fluorescent floating altar with emotion: "I can't leave here, go to the outside world to find the clansmen with my own bloodline, and I can't sense and guide the bloodline to come to this ancient hall, the only thing I can do is to wait and wait here silently...... Hopefully, fate will have mercy on me and guide them to their arrival. β
"That's hundreds of thousands of years. β
At this time, the old man's face was indescribably lonely and lonely.
"Sometimes, guarding this huge temple, I can't help but wonder if I am the only one left in the Moonlit Night Clan after the demon slaughtered our people. β
"But the blood feud finally supported me to continue to wait. β
The young man bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and for some reason he seemed to be able to clearly feel the bitterness and loneliness of a person holding a hope that may no longer exist, but stopping somewhere alone for 200,000 years.
"The Temple of the Moonlit Night, only on the night when the moon is at its fullest, will it appear in front of people's eyes. β
"As you said before, there are many people in the middle who have found the temple, and I thought that there would be someone I was waiting for among them. β
"Huh...... But in the end, it's just a bunch of greedy rats. β
As the old man spoke, the expression on his face was very disgusted and contemptuous of the Xiaoxiao who tried to beat the attention of the Moonlit Night Temple.
"The mysterious glow of the ancient temple lured them, and they tried to break in, eager to get their hands on the so-called treasures of the temple. β
"Hey... Those little mice, naturally, failed to pass the first blood test at the temple gate, and turned into nutrients for the vines of the ancient hall in fear and despair. β
When the old man said this, a bloodthirsty and cold smile was undisguised at the corner of his mouth.
The young man couldn't help but feel cold when he saw it, and asked tentatively: "Senior, if I haven't passed a blood test... Isn't it going to be like those people......"
The old man's eyes stared and he shook his head slightly: "That's not necessarily. β
"After hundreds of thousands of years, the first blood test of the door is not completely effective, and occasionally it goes wrong. β
"Otherwise, no one will be able to successfully enter the gate of this ancient temple before you. β
"Some people were lucky enough to pass the first blood test to enter the ancient hall because of a problem with the blood test at the gate, and when they stepped on the stone stairs of this high platform and climbed to the top of the high platform with anticipation on their faces, hehe-the second blood test had just begun!"
"And this time... They will never be blessed with any luck again. β
The smile that the old man showed for a moment made the young man looking at him in front of him feel very uncomfortable.
"Seniors, those who didn't pass the second blood test... What happened to himβwhat happened to them?"
The young man couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Oh, you asked how they were...... Aren't they still there?"
After that, the old man raised his hand and pointed to the originally dark and depressing place not far from the jade coffin, and the ancient lamp that had been extinguished for many years was instantly lit up.
The boy tilted his head and looked at where he was pointing......
A scene that catches the eye, the teenager is estimated to be unforgettable for life.
In front of him, countless people knelt in the black...... Perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a leather man.
Because the people who were kneeling in front of the jade coffin in front of them were only the thin skin on the outside of their bodies, and the only remaining skin bag was supported by a strange force, and they could still make a standard pious kneeling posture like a normal living person.
They are dressed in different shapes, but they are all in the same posture: their hands are propped up, and they are kneeling on the ground, as if they are worshipping reverently, and the cold blue light of the ancient lamps scatters on their distorted faces, reflecting different expressions that seem to panic, despair, and relief.
Is...... It's so weird that it's terrifying!
"Senior...... Uh, theyβis this?"
The teenager, who had never seen such a strange scene, seemed a little incoherent for a while.
At first, he thought that those were some kind of sacrificial puppets, puppets and the like, but he didn't dare to think about it in a more terrifying place, the original gloomy ancient temple was terrible with these things, and he didn't plan to take a closer look.
Now, he began to rejoice in his previous decision, did he want him to come to the Beast Forest alone at night in the future?
The white-haired old man didn't care at all, waved his sleeves, and snorted coldly: "These despicable villains of all races, when the Moon Night Clan broke through the shackles and introduced Xuan Qi, they enjoyed the benefits with peace of mind and quickly cultivated their strength. β
"But when the extraterritorial demons came to kill and our clan was subjected to calamity, they disappeared one by one. β
"Except for the moonlit night, when the whole clan was destroyed, the other tribes were completely unharmed. β
"Hmph, old man, I didn't go to them to settle accounts, I have already counted them lucky, but they still dare to stretch out that filthy and greedy thief hand to the last inheritance of our clan, the Temple of Moonlight Night. β
"It's a sin that deserves death, since they're all in......"
"Then stay forever and repent and atone for my people forever!"
The old man's face suddenly showed a cold light, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he couldn't hide it at all.
"If I hadn't passed this final blood test, I would have become one of those people over there!"
Hearing this, the young man swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
"It's been 200,000 years, but it's good that I finally waited until you came, um... Seeing that the time is almost up, it's time to hand things over to you. β
The white-haired old man raised his head slightly and glanced at the fading moonlight outside the window...... The dawn is coming.
The old man came to the young man and admonished with a straight face: "Next, I will transmit the inheritance of the Moonnight Clan, the Moonnight Divine Codex, to your mind. β
Before the boy could react, the old man raised a finger and tapped it between the boy's forehead.
The pale cyan glow suddenly flowed down the old man's fingertips and slowly poured into the mystical knowledge in the young man's mind, and the young man suddenly frowned and showed a painful look on his face.
Seeing this, the old man unconsciously guided him calmly: "Don't try to resist when you open your metaphysical consciousness, slowly relax, accept it, visualize it, and regard it as the original part of the metaphysical consciousness in your mind." β
The young man followed the old man's guidance, and his originally painful expression gradually eased a lot.
"That's right, little by little, let it slowly merge into your metaphysical consciousness, and finally become completely one with you. β
As the old man continued to guide, the young man's tightly knit brows were completely stretched, and the speed of the pale cyan glow gradually began to accelerate.
For a moment, the dark green dots of ghostly light wafting around the altar were also like fireflies in the deep bushes of a summer night, swarming, fluttering, and gathering around the two of them, and finally completely embraced the boy, gradually blending into the less.
After a long time, it was finally over, and the old man slowly lowered his hand, but the other hand suddenly and quickly pressed the young man's shoulder, and the old man's face looked very surprised.
"Boy, what's going on?"
"Just now I entered the divine code into your mind, but when I finally withdrew my divine sense, I saw that there was a handful of ...... in your head A powerful prohibition like a lock, what's that?"
"What the hell are you hiding from me?"
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but stare at the young man with an eager expression.
Seeing the old man's anxious look, the young man finally made up his mind.
"Senior, you remember when you asked me at the beginning, I really can't remember anything from the past. β
"I've told you all the memories I had before I was fifteen, and I don't remember anything but my age, it's like...... was firmly locked by the big lock in his head. β
"Whenever I try to remember the past, my mind is like thousands of ants and insects gnawing wildly, which makes me have a splitting headache, and I vaguely guess that in addition to the memories of the Moon Night Clan, that lock seems to have sealed a lot of my past......"
Speaking of this, the young man couldn't help but look at the old man expectantly and pleaded: "Senior, you are so strong, can you help me break that prohibition!"
"I need that memory so badly!"
The young man took the old man's hand tightly, and once again showed his face full of pleading and longing.
The young man had fully seen that the white-haired old man in front of him would never harm himself, so he told the truth about the matter.
When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly and sighed: "This matter... Even if I take half a step, I can't do anything!"
"This prohibition is very dangerous, I have only seen it in my life, it seems to be extremely fragile, but in fact it is like a living thing, if you force it to rely on external forces to attack, it will only lock more and more tightly, and in the end it may turn against the host and take you away. β
"This can only be solved by the host, by yourself, little by little. β
Seeing the young man's lonely face, the old man couldn't help but speak again and comforted: "But you can rest assured that this should be deliberately set up for you by a powerful person with unfathomable strength, as for who the ban is, it is estimated that you will only be able to remember it after you unlock the memory ban." β
"But I can't estimate how strong that man will be. But definitely above me. β
Speaking of this, the old man's face was full of solemnity and disbelief, after all, in addition to the half-step void god in this world, there would be a real void god realm powerhouse, it is indeed unimaginable.
"I don't think he has any ill intentions, but he just doesn't want you to think of something if you don't have enough strength for the time being. β
"His ultimate goal should also be to let you finally use your own strength to slowly lift the ban. β
The young man was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he quickly took off the diamond-shaped purple jade pendant from his neck and immediately held it in front of the old man: "Senior, I don't know if you have seen this jade pendant?"
"Do you know where he came from?"
The young man vaguely guessed that since the old man had repeatedly emphasized that he was the prince of the Moon Night Clan, maybe this was the treasure of the Moon Night Clan, let him see what the use was.
"Is this something from the Moonnight Clan?"
The old man, who glanced at the jade pendant in the young man's hand and was sure that it was not something in his clan, felt that this diamond-shaped jade pendant was very peculiar, and was just about to reach out to meet the eyes and take a closer look, but as soon as his hand approached, the originally dim purple jade pendant suddenly emitted a strong purple light, and the empty ancient hall was instantly overflowed with purple light.
Under the illumination of this strong purple light, the leather figure kneeling in the black pressure on the side actually turned into a little fluorescence in an instant and dissipated with the wind.
After a short time, the light of the jade pendant slowly dimmed again, and at this time, the old man was standing with round eyes and blank eyes, his hands still stuck halfway, but he kept trembling.
After a long time, he muttered in horror: "This power, this coercion, I have only seen it in my life!"
"Even if... The coercion of the two extraterritorial demons at the beginning was nothing more than that, right?"
The old man was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, the old man glanced at the accustomed young man and couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "I really don't know what kind of demon you kid is, you actually have so many secrets on your body, and even this kind of anti-heaven artifact can be obtained." β
"This purple jade pendant... It's not a thing of my own race, maybe it may not be a thing of this world, but it must not be underestimated-"
"You kid, this thing... Where the hell did you get it?"
The boy scratched his cheek and said embarrassedly, "Well, I don't know about this, it seems to have been ...... It's all on me. β
Of course, the long days of lying in the unknown dark space and being scorched by purple flames were not mentioned by the young man, as if for some reason, perhaps he had already forgotten about it as a nightmare......
Seeing that the old man didn't know the purple jade pendant, he thought to himself that he would definitely not know the purple flame either, after all, the Blood Intent Shadow Fire was also learned by him in the purple jade pendant.
So he didn't plan to ask the old man about the purple flame again.
