Chapter 47: The Crystal Skull
Deep in the gloomy and damp soil, Ye Shengqing's downward speed suddenly stagnated, and there seemed to be something blocking his way in front of him.
In the darkness, Ye Shengqing's eyes emitted an evil purple glow, his eyes were already pitch black, and he could no longer see a trace of the whites of his eyes.
Ye Shengqing stretched out his right hand against the soil below, and a thick black mist immediately drilled out from every pore on his palm.
The demonic energy continued to seep down and spread around, gradually outlining the shape of a transparent wall.
Then, those pitch-black mist contracted and gathered, all returning to the palm of Ye Shengqing's right hand.
Unlike Lu Li, who had a demon seed, Ye Shengqing at this time could only be regarded as a temporary sojourn, so the demonic energy he could summon was very limited, and before he really arrived at his destination, the Mind Demon Venerable was not prepared to waste a single trace of his demonic energy.
Instead of demonic qi, the blue-green sword qi shot out from Ye Shengqing's palm and bombarded the invisible wall below.
Silently, one after another intricate and mysterious runes appeared on the invisible walls, containing an indescribable sense of distortion, as if the surrounding space had undergone strange changes at this moment.
The cyan sword qi failed to cause the slightest movement on the transparent wall, and even the sword qi itself was engulfed by the large array of runes that emerged, and disappeared in an instant.
"Space rune formation, it seems that this is it. Ye Shengqing muttered to himself in a low voice, his voice was also stained with a layer of stagnation and vicissitudes at this time, which was the common point that would be shown after being inhabited by the Mind Demon Venerable in his body and consciousness.
Ye Shengqing hooked his fingers, and let his sword yuan turn into thousands of strands of sword qi silk threads as thin as hair, and wrapped around his five fingers.
Then the five fingers of his right hand were linked, pulling these sword qi threads to move at the same time, and extremely delicately inserted or wrapped these thousands of sword qi threads on that rune.
Such a meticulous operation would never be possible if it were to be done by Ye Shengqing himself. The Mind Demon Venerable is like an excellent puppet master, using Ye Shengqing's body to the extreme.
Just as Ye Shengqing was manipulating the sword qi silk thread and constantly cracking the rune array, an angry but tired voice suddenly came from below:
"What? Do you really want to exterminate the poor road?"
......
Ace walked on the red Gobi Desert, and the surrounding fog was obviously stained with a layer of flame-like crimson.
At this moment, a rough, grand voice sounded in the crimson mist in front of Ace;
"This is a forbidden place, and trespassers should be burned with their skin, hair, muscles and flesh burned by the [Four Hells from the Fire], boiled blood and bone marrow by the [Five Flames and Heavy Fire], and suffered from the burning of their souls by the [Sixth Karmic Fire]!"
Ace's pace was unmoved, still slow and firm.
"You're not afraid?" the presence in the depths of the fog wondered.
Ace still responded in a sluggish voice containing vicissitudes: "The more incompetent people are, the more they like to exaggerate." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a fiery fireball containing terrifying heat appeared above his head.
When the fireball fell, Ace didn't avoid it, not even looking at it, as if the fireball was not threatening.
"Bad illusions, worthy of being played in front of me?" the fireball fell on Ace, dismissing like a bubble.
Ace continued to walk, and the crimson mist in front of him suddenly became red, and another fireball the size of a human skull flew out with a blazing heat.
This time, Ace chose to dodge, only to see his right leg slam the ground, his body suddenly moved sideways to the left, and raised his right arm to resist the flames of the blazing fireball with his gray robe.
Rumble!
The fireball exploded violently as it passed Ace, but Ace had already made evasions and defenses in advance, and rolled out of the explosion range on the spot, without suffering any damage himself.
Standing up, Ace continued to walk, not paying any attention to the attack just now.
"Intruder, stop here, nothing but fire and destruction await you ahead!"
The rough, loud voice continued to threaten.
Ace made a lip stutter, revealing a smile that couldn't be called a smile at all, "I'm here looking for that flame." ”
The other party in the crimson mist did not respond for a while, and Ace's pace to continue moving forward slowed down steeply, and the distance that he would have had to take a hundred steps to reach was instantaneous.
At this time, the crimson mist had thinned, and on the rocks not far in front of Ace, a crimson gecko was cocking its tail, revealing a look of astonishment and vigilance in a very personified manner.
"The little thing that pretends to be a ghost, it is not easy for you to practice, leave your tail and leave on your own. Ace Road.
At such a close distance, the crimson gecko could also see Ace's pair of eyes that were as black as ink and did not have a trace of whites.
The gecko did not hesitate, out of a strong sense of crisis of biological instinct, so that it could not have the idea of resisting at all, it turned around, and bit the tail off with a flick of its head.
Leaving the severed tail still bleeding on the rock, the gecko slipped down the rock with great speed on all fours, burrowing into the crimson mist.
Ace picked up the broken tail and continued walking.
......
In the dimly lit room, Lu Li sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the white candle suspended and burning in front of him.
Until now, he had never tried to extinguish the candle and face the [Blood Emperor Sword] directly.
Lu Li knew very well that there was something wrong with his state of mind, because of the sense of déjà vu brought by the Heart Demon Venerable, there was an extra knot in his heart.
If you want to untie the knot and calm your mind, there is a way, and there are two options.
The first is to slash the Heart Demon Venerable with a sword and solve the problem directly from the root source.
Of course, for Lu Li, who doesn't even know what kind of existence the other party is, this is tantamount to a fantasy.
The second is to have a firm belief that the peak of kendo that he can reach in the future will be far superior to the current Mind Demon Venerable, which is a roundabout way to persuade himself to put the problem to a later solution, so as to bypass this knot for a short time.
If you want to change to the previous Lu Li, this method is inevitable, but now Lu Li has just faced the terrifying power of the [Blood Emperor Sword] with his own sword intent, although the sword heart will not be broken, but it is still frustrated, and it can't convince the original heart for a while.
Lu Li, who has always been good at cutting through the mess with a quick knife, was completely helpless in the face of this heart knot.
......
Ye Shengqing manipulated the thin line of sword qi and continued to crack the rune array, responding to the questioning of the voice in the ground with his own actions.
With the rapid movement of Ye Shengqing's five fingers, thousands of wisps of sword qi silk threads performed their duties, and the complicated scene formed made people's eyes tired and dizzy just by looking at it.
I don't know how long it took, and one of the wisps of sword qi silk suddenly disappeared and fell into the rune array.
"Found it. ”
Ye Shengqing severed thousands of sword qi threads, leaving only that wisp, and used this as a breakthrough to pour a stream of pitch-black demonic qi into the rune array.
The runes filled with mystery quickly blurred, like a neatly written script soaked by rain, and it was difficult to see the original handwriting.
Bang!
The transparent and invisible wall immediately shattered, and Ye Shengqing urged the sword qi to wrap around his body, and he broke the stone and soil all the way, and went down with a dissatisfied speed.
I don't know how long it took, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the dim underground, and Ye Shengqing only felt that the resistance to the downward movement had only lightened, and the whole person had broken through the wall and fallen into a secret room.
This secret room is not large, it seems to be made of a huge white jade stone hollowed out of the inside, there is a bluestone long table and a few wooden chairs that have decayed and collapsed, and some exquisite tea sets and dinner plates are also falling everywhere, and the whole looks like a mess.
The secret room was lit with candles but empty, and the giant tortoise primordial god who had previously taken refuge here had already fled first, leaving behind the "Jade Immortal Mansion" left by this master.
Ye Shengqing's inky eyes swept over every inch of the secret room, stopping on one wall.
His body moved, and his right fist, which was engulfed in demonic energy, slammed into the jade wall.
The entire secret room shook violently, and the walls shattered and cracked, revealing a passage that could be passed by humans, where the original mechanism controlled the secret door, but after Ye Shengqing's punch, it no longer existed.
The corridor was not very long, Ye Shengqing soon came to the end, this was a burial chamber, and in the center of the room was a black coffin that looked like gold but not gold, wood but not wood.
The surface of the coffin is depicted and depicted with patterns such as auspicious clouds and bright moons, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility as a whole, without the gloomy and dead silence that ordinary coffins will bring.
At this time, the old Taoist priest Yuanshen, who only had one head left, was suspended next to the coffin, and he looked at Ye Shengqing with anger and hatred in his eyes, and with the environment of the tomb, it was really a little scary.
"Open the coffin and spare your life. Ye Shengqing said indifferently in a sluggish voice.
"Do you want to disturb the master's sleep, unless the poor Dao soul is scattered in front of you!" the old Taoist priest said resolutely.
Ye Shengqing shook his head and said, "I don't know if your master is dead or not, but there is no one in this coffin." ”
"No one?" the old Taoist priest sneered, "Of course there is no one! ”
Ye Shengqing stopped talking nonsense, and shot out a pitch-black demonic qi with his fingers, hitting the old Taoist priest's eyebrows, blasting out terrifying injuries that ran through the front and back on the latter's only remaining head.
A terrible scream rang out immediately, and the old Taoist priest cursed with the last bit of consciousness and aura: "You!
The primordial spirit dissipated, and this remnant of the desolation that had survived for an unknown number of years reached the end of its life.
Ye Shengqing stepped forward, grabbed the corner of the coffin and violently opened the coffin completely.
A blue light emanated from the coffin first, and it lasted only for a brief moment.
Immediately, an insignificant skeleton appeared in front of Ye Shengqing's eyes.
The skeleton of this skeleton as a whole is crystal clear, and there are light blue light dots looming around it, with an indescribable bewitching beauty.
