Chapter 448: The Mysterious Grotto
The Ruins of the Ancient City in the Land of the South of the Dawn
The cold wind howled in the night, and the cold hairs on the people who blew straight up stood on end, Shangguan Feihu stood on top of the wreckage of this ruin, stepping on the sand that had been corroded by the metal, and turned into scum when he stepped on it.
"Where are you going? Shangguan Flying Fox. Hades reappeared from behind him and said quietly.
Sun Di is not far away, Yu Mo is alone, and Fang Mo is secret
"No comment." Shangguan Feihu said without replying.
"I advise you not to enter the underground palace at your feet, there is a curse left by the Li Nan people inside, and there is only one way for them to enter it." Hades said with a smile.
Shangguan Feihu turned his head and said coldly, "When did the people of the Black Stone Demon Clan have such good intentions, you are full of nonsense, I won't believe you." ”
"Do you want your son to become a demon?" Hades said suddenly.
"What?" Shangguan Feihu turned his head violently.
"You heard it right, the Demon Demon, the polluted bloodline, the talent and strength of the above official Yuanji, it is not a problem to become the 'Demon Emperor' on the same level as Lucifer's 'Demon Lord'." Hades laughed.
"If something happens to Yuan Ji, I will definitely take your life!" Shangguan Feihu suddenly became furious, and countless wind and sand poured out of his body, forming a huge wind curtain.
"If I go head-to-head with you, I will naturally not be an opponent." Hades said, and before Shangguan Feihu could make a move, he turned into black gas and disappeared.
After the long-distance examination, the battle situation is too far away
Hades vanished, and the wind gushing from Shangguan Feihu's body subsided, and he stared at the stars above the night sky, his brows furrowed.
Underground of the ruins of the ancient city
Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Dongfang Ziyan, who was walking in front, followed the light, and sure enough, a stone door, the edge of the stone door and the mouth of the tunnel were tightly sealed, there was no gap, Dongfang Ziyan handed over the hand lamp to Rhine behind him, and asked him to help illuminate it, he walked to the front of the stone door, and a chessboard was placed on the door, with half of the chess pieces on it, he gently touched the stone door with his hand, and knocked lightly with his fingers, making a muffled sound, and then he put his ear on the door and listened for a while, and said decisively, "There is a strict mechanical structure in this door, It should be a mechanical defense system similar to a black box cannon, and forcibly destroying it will inevitably cause an explosion, and if it explodes in this tunnel, it will not only bury us alive, but also destroy the only way to the underground palace. ”
Saint Huang stood behind and nodded thoughtfully, and the mechanical arm touched the top of his head, "That chessboard is not easy to unravel, and it took me a full day and a night to unlock it last time I unlocked it." ”
"As long as it's a mechanism, there must be a way to unravel it." Dongfang Ziyan said confidently, but he became a little worried again, turned around and said, "Uncle, Shenghuang, this is a forbidden place, wouldn't it be bad for us to break in like this, that's a heavenly opportunity!" ”
"As a neutral person, first of all, we must not believe in the saying that 'if you leak the heavens to confuse people, you will be punished by heaven'." Rhine said earnestly.
The knot is far away from the ghost, and the ghost is tested by the ghost
"That's what the teacher said, and I haven't seen the teacher in a long time." Dongfang Ziyan silently lowered his head.
"Sereant Dicch Dragon, the only possessor of the Holy Eye in the world, should have stood with us, but he is too rigid for his mission to be." Shenghuang let out a long sigh from behind, and then walked over slowly, and the cold mechanical arm slapped Ziyan's shoulder, "It's better for me to come, don't embarrass you first." ”
"Thank you." Dongfang Ziyan looked up at the terrifying face of the Holy Phoenix and said.
The Holy Phoenix is worthy of being the emperor of the mechanics, the spirit emperor of the Jialuo Ling clan, under his precise operation, in less than a quarter of an hour, the chessboard lock on the stone door was opened, and the three of them did not hesitate and immediately entered the door.
After the stone door was opened, there was a series of stairs extending downward, as wide as the long staircase of the imperial capital Changle Palace, and it was still pitch black inside, so Dongfang Ziyan still held up the lamp to illuminate. There was still no smell of old and moldy inside, but there was a faint fragrance, but Dongfang Ziyan knew all kinds of herbal medicines, so he recognized that it was not a medicinal fragrance such as incense, nor was it like the fragrance of burning incense, but like the faint fragrance of wood such as sandalwood or agarwood.
Finally, they walked down the stairs, in front of them was a steady road, on both sides were walls more than six meters high, just a few steps, Dongfang Ziyan appeared on the wall murals and stone carvings, and some grottoes, that is, carved on the wall of the statues.
Those humanoid statues are carved directly on the wall stone in the appearance of real people, and through these humanoid sculptures, the clothing and hair decoration of the Li Nan people are not much different from those of the people today. There are murals between the statues and statues, and under the murals is a series of ancient incantations, among the three people, only Shenghuang and Dongfang Ziyan know a little about some ancient incantations, but it is only half a catty and eight taels, only slightly, with the murals above, all the contents are connected to describe all the previous lifestyles of the Li Nan people, as well as creation and invention, as well as the dialogue between the prophet and heaven and earth, although the description is true, but it can still be vaguely mixed with a lot of fictional pictures, because heaven and earth will not speak.
Suddenly, Dongfang Ziyan suddenly felt the eyes of the stone statue glance when he passed by a humanoid statue, and couldn't help but exclaim, "What is that!" ”
Although Rhine and Shenghuang are both calm old rivers and lakes, in such a dark and secluded underground, hearing Ziyan shouting for no reason, of course they will be startled, only to hear Dongfang Ziyan shout, the two looked at the stone statue at the same time, but they didn't find anything unusual.
"What are you doing?!" Rhein thought he was being funny and slapped him on the head hard.
"I didn't scare anyone, that stone man's eyes moved just now!" Dongfang Ziyan covered his head that was hurt and pointed to the stone statue and said.
Saint Huang listened to Ziyan's words, stretched out his mechanical arm, only to hear the sound of mechanical rotation, his arm stretched out by nearly a meter, reaching a length long enough to touch the head of the stone statue, and then touched the stone man's eyes, "You, how can these stone heads have life, even if they are monsters made with witchcraft or earth magic, they can't appear here, if there really is, I found it when I came last time." ”
"Maybe, maybe it's my delusion." Dongfang Ziyan wiped the cold sweat on his head, but he really didn't lie, he thought to himself that maybe this claustrophobic underground would really make people panic.
After knowing that it was okay, the three of them continued to walk forward, but this road seemed to have no end, like a bottomless black hole.
I don't know how long they walked, they were silent, and they didn't find anything related to the Black Stone Demon Clan, and the maze that the Holy Phoenix said before was extensive, and there were only stone statues and murals everywhere they went, as well as text carvings. Shenghuang was the first person to sense that something was wrong, she said that she might be stuck in a cyclic labyrinth like Qimen Dunjia, and the best way to crack this kind of magic is to stand still, waiting for the mechanism to run over, and the exit will automatically appear, so they sit on the ground, just enough to pay attention for a while.
"It's a lot like the volcanic dungeon in the North Pole." Dongfang Ziyan rubbed the blade of the long knife with a cotton ball.
"Volcano Underground Palace, you're talking about the place where the Red Emperor's charm is sealed, the place guarded by the beast god Suzaku." Shenghuang said.
"Yes, it was there that I met my uncle, and I walked there under the guidance of Suzaku at that time, rescued my uncle from the enchantment, and got the Red Emperor Charm."
"Speaking of which, this kid is still my savior." Rhine patted Ziyan on the shoulder and said.
"But I didn't see the Red Emperor Charm in your hand, it was the second of the thirteen artifacts, and it was the weapon of the former Hongjun Empire's Xuanhuang Hongjun Long." The Holy Phoenix seemed to be a little incredulous, because he had only seen the ordinary slender blade in Ziyan's hand.
"The Red Emperor's Charm ...... The sword soul of the Red Emperor was taken away, and now it is like scrap metal," Dongfang Ziyan sighed, "The Red Emperor has accompanied me for a long time, but it was my fault to discard him that time." ”
"Wait, you never told me that the Red Emperor was taken away from the sword soul." Rhine seemed to have woken up and said to Ziyan.
"What's wrong, what do you think?" Dongfang Ziyan asked when he saw that Rhine was a little abnormal.
"There is a sword soul spirit crystal in the Red Emperor Charm, which can exclude everyone except the sword master, and the Iron Fist Zhou Haoran died like this back then, so it is normal for Xingtian to take out the sword soul, but why only as long as his sword soul, but throw away the artifact, it can be seen that there must be an unknown secret in it." Rhine said in a quick tone.
Before the words fell, Shenghuang and Dongfang Ziyan were a little shocked, Ziyan reacted quickly, and immediately said firmly, "Before, Cangyue contacted me when I was in the river basin, saying that there were several mysterious black-clothed people in the Tower of Babel, and I don't know why, they defeated the trial Du Aisen, and also took away the sword soul of the snow walking moment, and the snow walking moment is also one of the artifacts, is there any secret in the sword soul of the artifact?" ”
As he spoke, Rhine took out his Huangquan Tiandu and stared at it with the light in Dongfang Ziyan's hand, but found nothing.
Shenghuang pondered for a long time, and said slowly, "In the ancient Hongmeng era, the Rinan people and other human branches were able to penetrate the heavenly machine on the human race, and got a lot of experience to talk about, and will record a large number of methods to control the original spirit of the universe, and, after continuous modification and accumulation by later generations, it has been formed in the era of chaos. Ten phases of freedom diagram', someone else said. As long as you can combine the oracle book and the ten phases of freedom diagram together and interpret it, you can have the ability to solve all the unsolved mysteries, and this is only a superficial conjecture, and its effect may be even deeper. Shenghuang paused, "But in the late Chaos Era, in order to prevent the leakage of the Heavenly Machine, the Xuanhuang Emperor Hongjun Long of the former Hongjun Era, collected the Ten Phases of Freedom Diagram, and divided the Book of Heaven into thirteen parts, which were sealed into the spirit of the Ancient Giant Beast Eight Deception Gods and the Five Spirit Beasts, and later the Five Spirit Beasts became the Artifact Guardian Beast God, so they sealed the fragment of the Book of Heaven into the artifact Sword Soul, I think, what the Black Stone Demon Clan wants to get is the fragment of the Book of Heaven." ”
"I was fortunate enough to have a superficial record of this incident in the Demon Realm Scripture Pavilion." Dongfang Ziyan sighed, "The teacher said that the Oracle Heavenly Book and the Ten Phases of Freedom Diagram caused the great chaos of the rise of alien races at that time, and various forces continued to wage wars in order to get these two things, resulting in the people's misery, and the grass did not grow where the war spread, so Emperor Hongjun was right to do that back then, I think if it were me, I would have destroyed the calligraphy and painting more directly." Dongfang Ziyan said.
Rhein listened quietly and dropped a cigarette.
"Do you know what happened after that?" The Holy Phoenix raised his eyes and Rhine, and spoke earnestly, "Only one point is mentioned. ”
"Let's talk about it." Dongfang Ziyan withdrew the long knife into the long scabbard at his waist.
Shenghuang sighed, "After the death of the former Hongjun Empire, because of the civil strife caused by the contradictions between the human nobles, Hongjun Ling, who had already been established as the crown prince, was killed by his imperial brother and imprisoned. Hongjun's pillar 'Ling's henchmen, Xuanhuang forty-six generals were all executed, the foreign surname family Nieling saw that forty-six would die unexpectedly, and there was no one to defend in the imperial capital, so they took the opportunity to rebel, and at the same time, the Jialuo Ling clan Xiyue Demon Clan, as well as the beast clan and the ancient dragon clan that had just given birth to the embryonic form, rose to threaten the border of the human race, and when the internal and external troubles came, Nieling Chexing captured the imperial capital in one fell swoop and established the Nieling Empire, In the end, in the coffin of Hong Jun Long who had just entered the ground, he got the ten phases of freedom he dreamed of, and at the same time, he also searched according to the five spirit beasts and the legendary habitat of the eight deceitful gods, but after many years, he found nothing, and it can be regarded as evil and evil retribution, Hong Jun Ling, who was killed by the imperial brother, did not die in prison, but with the help of whom, he escaped when the Nirling army broke through the city pass, and fled to the northeast of Wuya, after years and months of recruitment, established a revolutionary army, and cooperated with my ancestors and other tribes, And the Black Stone Demon Clan, which had just appeared at that time, launched a multi-faceted simultaneous attack on the Nirvana Empire, that is, the first rebellion of heaven and earth, the battle was really rare, and the tribes and forces involved were the most in history, and finally Nirvana was defeated, but the Ten Phases of Freedom Diagram disappeared, leaving only the legend of the fragment of the Book of Heaven, until now, it is just a legend. ”
After saying this in a hoarse voice, the Holy Phoenix began to cough violently, as if he had just finished recalling a sordid history.
"Luo Yu's ambition is not just to destroy the Terrans and the Faitus Protoss......" Rhine said thoughtfully.
Just as Rhine had just finished saying this, Dongfang Ziyan looked at the mural on the wall, and suddenly froze, staring at the mural, as if he was surprised that he couldn't say anything.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Ziyan was a little abnormal, the Holy Phoenix asked.
"I ......" Dongfang Ziyan pointed to the mural on the wall as if he had lost his soul, "It turns out that it already knew the end of all of us a thousand years ago......"
