"Whew"

The wind gusted, the eyes were full of desolation, and the cold wind agitated, blowing on the body, stirring goosebumps all over the body.

A desolation, this was Jiang Xiaoqi's first feeling after stepping into the crimson portal.

Away from the fire, just listening to the name can make people's minds make up a picture of a sea of fire, and the palace is naturally easy to remind people of the splendid and magnificent majestic palace, reflecting the light of thousands of zhang, enjoying the worship of countless subjects.

But at this moment, when Jiang Xiaoqi and his party stepped through the portal and saw the barren scene, they couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

What did they see? garbage dump or graveyard? In the gossip, the word "separation" corresponds to an endless sea of fire, and in front of them, as far as the eye can see, there is not the slightest flame, but the gusts of yin wind that blow in, which make them remember it vividly.

"Are you sure this is the Lihuo Palace?"

On the barren land, Jiang Xiaoqi shivered, gradually put away his stunned look, turned around, looked at the old donkey on the side, raised his eyebrows, and said with a little questioning.

This is like the once glorious Lihuo Palace, just like a boundless wilderness hill.

"Well, I guess I haven't seen you for too long, and I've changed. ”

Hearing Jiang Xiaoqi's question beside him, the old donkey's face also flashed with disbelief, this is completely different from the place where it came back then.

However, judging from the direction they chose before, it should be due west, so behind this space should be the Lihuo Palace, but why has the scene in front of them changed greatly?

On the side, the old beggar also looked at the desolate scene in front of him, his old face froze, revealing the same expression as the old donkey, smashed his mouth, and took out the golden compass from his arms.

"Buzz"

On the side, Jiang Xiaoqi and the old donkey saw that after the old beggar took out a compass, they also stepped over and looked over.

Then, the three of them were surprised to see that the hands rolling on the golden square plate were spinning rapidly like a spinning top that had been pumped away, and they couldn't see where the hands were.

"Zizi"

Soon after, I saw that the old beggar's sallow face showed a look of bewilderment, and he looked a little wooden.

On the side, the old donkey was lying on the ground rolling on his back, grinning, and even Jiang Xiaoqi, who came over to pay attention, looked at the compass with a burst of green smoke in the old beggar's hand, and couldn't help but laugh.

"I said old liar, you can't have bought this thing from some second-hand market, and it smokes after two turns?"

After a long time, the old donkey gradually stopped laughing, staggered to his feet, and walked to the old beggar's side, with two huge nostrils facing him, and then grinned at him with a mouthful of big white teeth.

"It should be that the space here is too disordered, which is why my compass needle is out of order. ”

was taunted by the old donkey's nostrils, and the old beggar was also embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he spoke out and explained.

"Phew, let's look for it first and see if we can find any clues. ”

Hearing the old beggar's explanation, Jiang Xiaoqi nodded lightly, indicating understanding, and after groaning slightly, Jiang Xiaoqi opened his mouth again and suggested to the person and donkey beside him.

Hearing this, the two nodded after thinking about it for a while, agreeing, after all, they didn't have any other good way at the moment.

So, the two of them and a donkey embarked on a journey to find the Fire Palace.

The space behind this portal is even more vast than the ruined place outside, and it is foggy and unreal.

Under my feet, I don't know how many years of dead weeds, the yellow ones are almost weathered, and the rugged ground is full of potholes, and there are many brown liquids in it, I don't know what it is.

As far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight, only a few thatched huts are faintly visible, still standing under the gust of gloomy wind.

"Where the hell is it? Why can't I find it? ”

On the endless plain, the old donkey didn't know how many pits he had dug, his dark fur was covered with mud, but he still persevered in digging the pits, and every time he was full of joy, but in the end he was disappointed.

In the end, the old donkey also gave up, and simply sat down in the big pit he had dug, as if he had lost his soul, and scooped up the dirt from the mound outside the pit, as if he was about to bury himself in it.

"Brother Donkey, what is it that you buried in the Lihuo Palace that can make you worry so much?"

After a while, Jiang Xiaoqi walked over, squatting on the edge of the big dirt pit dug by the old donkey, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyebrows raised, and he asked with a little curiosity.

Since he knew the old donkey, he hadn't seen this guy lose his soul for a thing like today, so he was a little more curious in his heart, and couldn't help asking.

"That's a treasure, a peerless treasure, why did you lose it. ”

In the pit, the old donkey sat up, leaning against the big pit he had dug, his two hooves pulling the dirt downward, his eyes lost focus, and he grinned as if he had lost his soul, and the dirt was almost buried to his neck.

"What baby? Where is the baby?"

I have to say that the old beggar's ears are true spirits, and the small voice of the old donkey lying in the deep pit was clearly captured by him, and he hurriedly ran over, looking at the old donkey with a look of serious concern.

"Old liar, I warn you, don't beat your donkey grandfather's idea. ”

Looking at the old beggar's thief-eyed look outside the pit, the old donkey immediately regained his alertness, struggled and swayed to dig himself out of the pit, stared at the old beggar with a vigilant face, and grinned.

"Boom"

"Buzz"

Just after the old donkey struggled to jump out of the pit, suddenly, the vast earth, began to shake violently, as if there were ten thousand horses galloping, the ground shook the mountains, and when he lowered his head, he could clearly see that the stones scattered on the ground began to beat violently.

"What's that?"

He staggered to his feet on the ground, and then, after hearing the screams of the old beggar who was staggering around, he sat down on the ground with his butt and shook regularly with the earth.

"It's the Fire Palace, and Lao Tzu's treasure is buried inside. ”

On the side, the old donkey, which was full of fat and shaking together, looked at the fire that slowly appeared on the horizon in the distance, and howled, and the old face that was still losing his mind just now immediately surged with a look of excitement.

"What is this?"

"A stove"

Seeing such a big reaction from the old donkey beside him, at the edge of the pit, Jiang Xiaoqi bent his body, supported his body, and tried his best to maintain balance, and then followed the gaze of the two of them and looked at the fire rising on the horizon in the distance.

When he saw the huge object clearly, his frowning face immediately showed a strange expression, and he said with some doubts.

"Boom"

A loud rumble came from the horizon, rubble rolled, and the infinite light of fire stretched out in the field of vision, boundless.

The next moment, Jiang Xiaoqi saw a behemoth, which suddenly appeared in the horizon, and the flames were rolling, extending from the horizon.

Indeed, from a distance, the behemoth that rises above the horizon really looks like a great smelting furnace, boxy, round, as if made of steel, and in it there is a vast light like a sea of fire.

On the huge smelting furnace, there are eight huge cavities, through which you can see the surging blazing fire, from a distance, in the void filled with firelight, there seem to be several dense black spots, like a human figure.

With the emergence of the smelting furnace-like behemoth, Jiang Xiaoqi gradually saw its true face, not so much a huge furnace, but more like a cage made of steel, the appearance of the construction style is indeed flattering, what kind of aesthetics can create such a 'chic' thing.

To put it mildly, it's eight holes, to put it bluntly, it's just that there is no round gap at all, and it's been leaking fire outward.

And around this huge smelting furnace, there is a magnificent square, vast and magnificent, looking at the wide appearance, it is estimated that it can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

"Wouldn't this be the treasure of Kaiyang, the Burning Sky Purgatory. ”

Looking at the magnificent furnace slowly rushing on the horizon, on the side, the old beggar staggered up on the ground, stroked a few gray beards, his old face was slightly stunned, and he opened his mouth with a somewhat dull expression, and muttered in a deep voice.

"This broken furnace is the Burning Purgatory?"

On the side, the old donkey also looked at the huge stove that was slowly coming, his tongue was flowing out of his teeth without obeying, his expression was wooden, his eyes were round, and he was a little incredulous.

"Well, this treasure of the Kaiyang Holy Land is really eclectic. ”

Listening to the old beggar's surprised words and the old donkey's distracted face, Jiang Xiaoqi's face also showed a touch of astonishment, and he couldn't believe it.

However, from the distracted expressions of the two, Jiang Xiaoqi also gradually determined that in the distance, the strange-style broken furnace should be the Burning Sky Purgatory he was looking for on this trip.

Previously, in that crimson space, Jiang Xiaoqi had heard the huge red-eyed man mention the Burning Sky Purgatory.

Before the red-eyed man left, he had told him that after reshaping his body and condensing his muscles and bones, he needed to find the Burning Sky Purgatory, and with the help of the Origin Fire in it, his body would be completely refined, otherwise, in his future cultivation, there would be a hidden danger of collapse.

Burning one's body and condensing one's bones is like burning porcelain, and Jiang Xiaoqi at this time is like a clay embryo that has been pinched by someone, and his appearance looks no different from the finished product.

But only Jiang Xiaoqi himself knows that at this moment, although his body is more tenacious than before, it also makes up for the lost quenching period, which really stimulates his physical ability.

However, these are all superficial appearances, and at the moment, the real situation is that his body is like spliced together, and it cannot really be regarded as perfect, only after polishing and tempering, can it become a real high-grade porcelain, and in the long practice in the future, there will be no hidden dangers.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Burning Sky Purgatory had such a domineering name, and the appearance it presented was so 'chic'.

"Huh, why is she here?"

Looking at the tattered Burning Sky Purgatory, Jiang Xiaoqi twitched the corners of his mouth, shook his head a little helplessly, and then set his eyes on the wide square under the huge melting pot.

Suddenly, his gaze was slightly stunned, his gaze fixed on a beautiful figure in the crowd, and a touch of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

His heart groaned slightly, and immediately, he saw Jiang Xiaoqi's fingertips flash, and then, a heavy bronze mask appeared in his hand, and as soon as his eyes froze, he raised his hand and imprinted it on his face, covering his handsome face.
