Chapter 1816: Stone Gate
It was an extremely tall and dark cave, with patterns carved on the stone walls, glowing with a faint light, and the Yin River behind them seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, forming a water curtain forty or fifty meters high and sixty or seventy meters wide behind them.

Chu Qing frantically urged the boat and wanted to leave the ground, but the boat seemed to be absorbed and sank motionless on the ground.
"No flying." Chu Qing said in a deep voice, and his divine sense tentatively left the boat, "The divine sense is not damaged." ”
In the empty stone cave, only Chu Qingfang's voice echoed, and the divine consciousness of the three people was released.
As soon as Zhang Xiaohan's divine sense came into contact with the petroglyphs on the stone wall, he was shocked, and the picture that was pressed in his heart instantly overlapped with the petroglyphs on the stone wall, and his ears seemed to hear the painful howl of a beast again.
In the middle of the petroglyph on the left was the scene she saw when she was refining her immortal heart, and it was even more detailed than that scene.
A tall and burly monk was burning with flames, and in the flames, his horned head flew up, a cavity of black blood spurted out, his chest was thrown away by a sharp blade, and an equally black and bloody heart was picked at the tip of the knife, and a drop of essence blood in his heart was being caught.
One hand was brutally pulling a vein from his chest, the muscles close to his chest spasmed together, and the other hand was pulling out a section of his spine.
On the petroglyph on the right, the flame on the giant's body has been extinguished, his dark skin is being stripped from his muscles, the eyes of the skull that fell to the side are also gouged out, and the black hole looks up at the sky, as if questioning the injustice of the sky.
The three of them were stunned by this petroglyph, which clearly depicted the scene of the Emperor of the Ancient Demon Realm being brutally killed.
The cave was extremely quiet, except for the light of the boat's shield and the faint glimmer of light reflected off the stone walls.
After a while, Chu Qingfang broke the silence: "Let's go out, wise man, you can also leave the boat." ”
The wise man's brows furrowed, as if he retracted his gaze from the rock wall with great reluctance, and a mouth, a token flew out of his mouth, floating directly on the wise man's head, and a soft light poured down from the token, enveloping the wise man in it.
Zhang Xiaohan and Chu Qingfang's eyes narrowed, and the wise man said with a calm face: "This place is safe for your human race, if there is no pure yang qi to protect the body, as soon as I leave, this body will probably burn like in the rock paintings." ”
The wise man said, looking coldly at Zhang Xiaohan and Chu Qing's crazy actions, Zhang Xiaohan looked at the jade card very curiously, his eyes slightly stunned.
Chu Qing glanced at the jade plate wildly, then lowered his head and took off the best immortal stone, put it in the storage bracelet casually, the shield was dark, and Zhang Xiaohan walked out of the flying boat one after another, the wise man's body shook slightly, and he also floated out of the small boat, it is forbidden to fly here, but it is not that he can't fly at all, but from the height of the wise man's flight, it can only be one or two meters from the ground.
Standing in the stone cave, a feeling of insignificance arises spontaneously, looking up at the top of the head, as if it is unattainable, looking back, the black Yin River water brings a strong sense of oppression, and then looking forward, there seems to be something calling them in the unfathomable unknown.
"Wise man, is this the scene of the fall of the emperor of your demon realm?" Zhang Xiaohan's voice echoed in the hollow cave, the light of the boat shield disappeared, and there was still a ghostly light on the stone wall of the cave, and the petroglyphs on the stone wall looked clearer.
"I don't know much more about the things of the ancient times than you, and this is the first time I've seen these rock paintings." The wise man seemed to answer Zhang Xiaohan's question, but she didn't seem to answer, she flew slowly along the stone wall for a week, carefully looking at the picture on the stone wall.
"Is that the Qiankun token?" Chu Qingmad and Zhang Xiaohan said: "She has sacrificed and recognized the Lord." ”
If the Lord is confessed through sacrifice, the master will not die, or if he does not erase the divine consciousness mark on it with a powerful divine sense, he will not be able to take it back.
"If you don't see it, you confess the Lord." Zhang Xiaohan said.
The Qiankun token will not easily recognize the master, that day in the Shura trial ground, the Qiankun token has already recognized the lord to her, how can it be easy to recognize the lord again.
"Wise man, you said that there is an immortal soul here, but judging from the petroglyphs, the body of the emperor has been decomposed into ......" Zhang Xiaohan's head turned around on the petroglyphs, "Is the immortal soul that drop of essence blood?" "No matter how you look at it, only that drop of essence blood is like an immortal soul.
"We'll have a look at the front." As he spoke, the wise man drifted past the darkness ahead.
Zhang Xiaohan looked at the back of the wise man, the corners of his mouth pulled upwards slightly, and his hand stroked the storage bracelet, just at the moment when the wise man sacrificed the Qiankun token, a mark suddenly appeared in the depths of her sea of consciousness, and the token that had been silent for a long time in the storage bracelet also moved slightly.
As soon as the mark came out, it quickly disappeared, and there was no shadow to be found in the sea of knowledge, as if its appearance was to remind Zhang Xiaohan, Zhang Xiaohan's divine sense let go, followed behind the wise man, and walked towards the darkness in front of him.
Zhang Xiaohan has never walked through such a tall and spacious cave, the stone wall of the cave seems to have been rested by a sharp blade as smooth, hundreds of thousands of years underground, isolated by the Yin River, it is still very dry, there is not even moss on the stone wall, and the aura here is not very thin, the most rare, it is obviously the demon world, but there is no demon energy.
Only occasionally, Zhang Xiaohan and Chu Qingfang both felt that they were being peeped at by something, but when they went to look for it, there was no trace of it.
This kind of peeping is more like an identity scan, as if there is a formation from an ancient era that automatically activates every once in a while to find out the identity of the intruder.
Zhang Xiaohan's eyes kept open, and when this feeling of being watched appeared for the third time, she caught a trace of colorless spiritual power appearing, and quickly swiped over the wise man in front of her, as if she had also swept past Zhang Xiaohan and Chu Qingmad.
If the wise man didn't have the Qiankun token, would he have touched some kind of mechanism formation underground?
The three of them walked quietly along the passage, and petroglyphs occasionally appeared on both sides of the stone wall, and the strange thing was that the content of the petroglyphs showed the slaughter of the monks of the Demon Realm, but all the slaughterers only had magic weapons and a pair of hands, from which they could only determine that the slaughterer was not a demon, but it could not be determined which monks of the other four realms were it.
After walking for about a cup of tea, the road ahead suddenly disappeared, and a stone wall as high as the two sides stood in front of them.
"No, why is there no way?" The wise man muttered that she couldn't fly higher, and she didn't dare touch the stone wall, but just looked along the stone wall.
After looking around, he turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaohan and Chu Qingfang: "There must be a formation here." ”
Zhang Xiaohan stared at the wise man for a while, as if judging whether her words were correct or not, and then raised his head and silently observed the stone wall, the wise man's expression was slightly nervous, and he kept turning with Zhang Xiaohan's eyes, occasionally glancing at Chu Qingmad.
Zhang Xiaohan circled the rock wall slightly, then lowered his head and pondered for a while, before raising his head and saying to the wise man: "The three of us walked together, until now, Chu Daoyou and I still can't figure out what we have here, except for what Daoyou said, there is an immortal soul banned here, but what is an immortal soul, what will happen if the immortal soul is lifted, or what secrets are hidden in this underground We don't know at all, at this time, the safety of the three of us is tied together, Daoyou as the wise man of the demon clan, There must be a special inheritance to inherit, and if we still hide it from the two of us, we can't say it, and we can only put our lives first. ”
The wise man's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled and said, "It turns out that Zhang Daoyou still doesn't believe me." ”
Zhang Xiaohan snorted, noncommittal.
The wise man smiled again and said: "I have been inherited, but until now, what I know is not much different from what the Taoist friends know, here is also the first time I have entered, and the wise men of the past generations have not had the opportunity to enter, naturally all they know is conjecture, otherwise, this place has already been checked, and the immortal soul should have been released." ”
"The wise man has been avoiding my questions, and it makes me feel uneasy." Zhang Xiaohan held up the long voice and said slowly.
"Is there a way for Daoist friends to break the forbidden formation here?" The wise man said suddenly.
Zhang Xiaohan looked at the wise man expressionlessly, neither nodding nor shaking his head, putting on a state that if the wise man didn't say anything, he wouldn't cooperate at all.
The wise man frowned and sighed slightly: "The two Daoists accepted my remuneration and promised to help me lift the ban on the immortal soul, is Zhang Daoyou planning to regret it?" ”
Zhang Xiaohan snorted: "It's not kind for a wise man to say that, I promised to come with you to help you lift the ban on the immortal soul, but you should also tell us about the danger, what is the immortal soul, what trouble will you encounter once the ban is lifted, you are the wise man of the demon race, ready to dedicate yourself to the demon race at any time, but I am not, we still plan to return to the human world safely, if you don't say that there may be a passage to the human world, hum." ”
Zhang Xiaohan said and glanced at Chu Qingfang.
Chu Qing was crazy before he spoke: "The petroglyphs here seem to be talking about the moment when the Emperor of the Demon Realm fell, and the wise man should have something to add to this moment." ”
The wise man raised his head and stared at Zhang Xiaohan, and then looked at Chu Qingfang, and suddenly said with a straight expression: "Emperor Qianqi and Princess Ayashu have joined forces to defeat the Demon Realm, and the fall of the Emperor of the Demon Realm is naturally inseparable from the two of them." ”
"Hehe, Qianqi and Ayashu are both descendants of the emperor, so they can kill the emperor?" Chu Qingfang sneered and said.
The wise man's face was expressionless: "What happened in ancient times, we can only hear from the rumors of the inheritance, and this is what I have heard. ”
In the dantian, the corners of the wise man's mouth glanced down, and then closed his eyes and ignored it, but the wise man continued: "As for the immortal soul, I only know that it must be stronger than the rest of the immortal body, once the immortal soul gets rid of the suppression and returns to the demon world, it is possible to recreate the former glory of the demon world, and the immortal soul will also summon the rest of the immortal body, once the immortal body is completely together, the emperor can come back from the dead, and the responsibility of our wise man is to lift the ban on the immortal soul." ”
There is nothing wrong with these words, but for Zhang Xiaohan and Chu Qingmaan, who understand the heart of immortality, there are many flaws in these words, especially the last sentence.
The purpose of the wise man from beginning to end was not to let the immortal soul reappear in the demon realm, her purpose was to use Zhang Xiaohan and Chu Qingfang to destroy the immortal soul.
"What about after the lift? We are Terran monks, and the emperor is a disciple of the Demon Realm, he must hate the Terran to the core, and I am afraid that once the ban is lifted, the first one is to kill us. Zhang Xiaohan continued.
The wise man looked at Zhang Xiaohan and Chu Qingfang, and his eyes were a little strange: "It should be looking for an existence that can be parasitized, do you think that it's me, the demon cultivator, who will be chosen, or will the two of you be chosen to cultivate the body?" ”
Zhang Xiaohan hesitated for a while, turned his head to look at Chu Qingfang, Chu Qingfang nodded slightly, and the eyes of the two exchanged eyes silently for a while.
"Okay, I'll try." Zhang Xiaohan finally nodded in agreement, and the wise man let out a sigh of relief and moved out of the way.
Under the sight of the eye of the sky, there are grid-like spiritual power lines all over the entire stone wall, and the nodes where the spiritual power lines intersect should be the attack point where the formation is located, Zhang Xiaohan raised his finger and was about to make a move, when he suddenly thought of something, purple spiritual light circulated in his body, and turned into red spiritual power at the tips of his fingers.
A little red spiritual light was excited, and it fell on one of the nodes, and the stone wall in front of him suddenly shook like ripples, Zhang Xiaohan tapped his ten fingers, and dozens of red spiritual lights hit the stone wall thousands of voids one after another, dazzling and disorganized, but after these spiritual lights were submerged into the void, the front of the stone wall was twisted and torn apart, and then the stone wall suddenly disappeared, revealing a bow-shaped gate with a height of more than ten meters.
The light on the gate flickered, forming a blood-red strange pattern, almost covering the entire stone gate, and in the middle of the stone gate, there were two black bracelets that buckled the door.
As soon as this strange stone door and pattern appeared, Zhang Xiaohan couldn't help but take a few steps back, her heart was pounding, this pattern was the second time she had seen it, the first time was in the underground where the heart of immortality was located, and a talisman was such a pattern suppressing the heart of immortality.
"This is it." The wise man's voice was filled with suppressed longing, and she muttered, her body moving, as if to pounce and suppress it.
"There's a carved talisman on it." Chu Qing looked at the stone gate and frowned, he was not good at the talisman, the talisman was engraved on the stone gate, and the entire stone gate was used as a talisman, and it was the first time he had seen it.
"Yes, it's a spell that was only used in ancient times when suppressing great powers." Unexpectedly, the wise man answered right away.
"Can you crack it?" Chu Qing looked at the wise man and asked.
"The spell writing on this door should be the blood of the human race, and the suppression of the immortal soul of the emperor should also be an extraordinary human bloodline, and ordinary methods may not be able to break it." The wise man stared at the pattern on the master's door for a while, shook his head and said in disappointment.
"Divination tells me that the arrival of the two Terran kings will bring unexpected conclusions." As she spoke, her gaze wandered over Zhang Xiaohan and Chu Qingfang. (To be continued.) )
