Chapter 57: A Sturdy Inkstone
The two of them walked nearly half a mile along the reddish-brown road, and there was a dilapidated city tower in front of them, a tall city wall, and a city gate tower was built on the majestic city gate, but it was in disrepair and seemed to be a little dilapidated, but from the pattern of the building, it was guessed that this should have been a very prosperous town. A broken plaque upstairs can still be vaguely seen in vague handwriting: "Stormfall City"
Rong Yu and Miao Qidi looked at each other, nodded at the same time and strode into the city gate, here is like a dead city quietly around; Rong Yu looked around, but saw that the restaurants and pavilions were all available, all of which showed the glory of the city before.
"Brother Yu, have you found out?, how come everything here doesn't look like it's being eaten by the wind, and where are those Xuanwu Sect disciples dying?" Miao Qidi watched as he walked.
"There is no killing without temptation, and where do you think what is left of an abandoned city will be?"
"The mansion of the warrior family, the castle lord's mansion, and then the small school field, I can't think of anything else. ”
"What can make many masters have nowhere to hide must be an empty place, I think it should be the most likely to be the school field, forget it and watch while walking!"
The two of them walked casually through the depressed streets, and along the way they went to several mansions that looked like rich and noble families, and as expected, they had been searched by the warriors who had arrived in advance. There were signs of rummaging everywhere, not even under the bed in the master bedroom.
"Brother Yu, look at the City Lord's Mansion!" Miao Qidi said, pointing to a gatehouse in the distance.
Rong Yu raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw a five-zhang high mansion gate standing in the middle of a red wall. The two unicorn stone carvings in front of the door have lost their former might, and even the unicorn horn on the left has been smashed by Qi Gen. Rong Yu released his divine sense to probe the vicinity to prevent accidents, and he was even more afraid of missing something.
"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Brother Yu!" Miao Qidi asked.
"Let's go in and take a look, I just felt a trace of the fluctuation of the aura of heaven and earth, I'm afraid there will be something useful inside. Rong Yu nodded in agreement, he took a few steps to protect Miao Qidi behind him, and walked in first.
The wide vestibule compound, the regular northern architectural style, pavilions, platforms, buildings, pavilions are readily available, obviously the owner is a person who is not too ostentatious, and does not build the courtyard very generously like the current dignitaries, but all the buildings seem to be carved beams and painted buildings with a solemn atmosphere.
"Following me, I felt the aura fluctuations in front of me become more intense. Rong Yu whispered, already running the Buddha Demon Sutra to protect himself, and they were walking in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion Legal Person's Study.
Every door had been opened, and some of them could have been violently shaken open, and it didn't take much effort for them to enter the study.
The study is made of wood as a whole, which seems incompatible with other brick rooms, and I feel that the owner should be a very elegant person, and the bookshelves on both sides are made of agarwood.
Rong Yu actually felt a very strong cold aura and heaven and earth aura here, and he looked around carefully;
The small place can almost be taken at a glance, and it has been rampantly collected, some paintings and calligraphy are discarded on the ground, the pen holder and the painting cylinder have been knocked over to the ground, there is no book left on the bookshelf against the wall, the ground is in a mess, many paintings are half-rolled and thrown on the ground, and there are more than one person's footprints printed on them.
Rong Yu's eyes focused on the wall directly in front of him, where a neat city defense map was hung, and the layout of the entire city was clearly outlined on the drawing.
Miao Qidi saw him staring at the city defense map in a daze, and also took a few closer looks, and asked strangely: "What's the matter, Brother Yu, what did you find?"
"Don't you think this map hangs here very abruptly and out of place with the style of the study?"
Suddenly he understood, phantom array! This should be a phantom array, Rong Yu waved the thunder fire in his left hand and instantly sent out the city defense map, as the flames gradually became smaller, a fine drawing emerged, it was a map of a certain space, Rong Yu stepped forward and took it off directly and handed it to Miao Qidi, this kind of delicate work is the most suitable for a girl to do.
But where is that fluctuating spiritual power? Rong Yu looked around, and there was no reason why the information fed back by the divine consciousness was here!
He paced back and forth in the study, putting the messy things back on the shelves one by one, lifting up the crooked stools one by one, and he still didn't find anything when he was done.
"It seems that we have no fate, and we will miss you, it's a pity!" Rong Yu sat down on a chair in the study.
"Brother Yu, I have carefully looked at the map of the small school field, but it is not on the ground, but underground, you see there is a symbol here that I can't understand!" Miao Qidi spread out the map in his hand in front of Rong Yu, and said only one of these places.
Rong Yu was thinking about something, Miao Qidi asked him and hurriedly leaned over to take a closer look, his left hand unconsciously touched the inkstone on the table, and a huge repulsive force directly shook his entire body for a while.
"Well, what is this, how can there be a torturous and strong repulsive force...."He stretched out his right hand and held it carefully in his hand, and the force of the shock was gone.
Rong Yu directly drew out a true power blessing in his right hand, and he forcefully put the five fingers of his right hand together, and gradually tried to pinch the inkstone open.
Hey, Rong Yu found that no matter how hard he put up, he couldn't damage the inkstone by half a point, and he didn't understand it. You must know that he is now a martial artist of the eightfold martial arts realm, not to mention that a mere inkstone is refined steel, and in his hands, it should be easy to knead into an iron ball. But this inkstone has not changed in the slightest.
"This is....? Could it be... The upper realm is extinct, is there still a world in this world! Hanshui Yan, one of the four treasures of the Book of Heaven, !! "Rao is that he fused the memories of the emperor to make Rong Yu well-informed, but the thought that popped up in his mind still jumped to himself.
Legend has it that Emperor Wen of the upper realm has four great emperors to paint the heavenly brush, the picture empty ink, the cover paper, and the cold water inkstone. Each piece is the supreme magic weapon, this cold water inkstone is to go to the beginning of the heaven and earth when the chaotic stone spirit into the heavenly realm to cause the cold of the cold river spirit fusion formed, in the hands of Emperor Wen with the painting of the heavenly brush, the two complement each other to become the world's first weapon.
It was only later that Emperor Wen entered a misunderstanding when he cultivated, and strayed into the demon path to cause a war in the heavenly realm, and the war at the level of the emperor of heaven and earth almost ruined the heavens and the earth.
"No, no! This should be made of a heaven and earth spirit stone that I don't know, but it's just very strong. Rong Yu quickly denied his idea, he put this inkstone into the storage ring, and looked at the picture that Miao Qidi was referring to.
"This is a mark of a formation, a kind of spirit sealing array, and few people now mark it like this. Let's go, let's take a look. Rong Yu quickly understood and explained to Miao Qidi. The small school field is easier to find, and the two of them quickly found it, this is a school field that can accommodate a thousand people, the venue is relatively wide, and the strange thing is that there is no regular school field here, and there is a statue standing in the center of the field. From a distance, the bronze statue looks like a man and a beast, revealing a trace of weirdness, revealing strong aura fluctuations, which makes people feel an urge to approach treasure hunting.
There is even a formation here, and it seems that the people who entered earlier are dying here. Rong Yu observed for a long time and smiled slightly and said to Miao Qidi: "This is a trapped formation, as long as we enter within a radius of five hundred steps from this statue, we will touch the formation." The formation should just trap us, and there is a time limit, as for this killing move should be in that statue, ready for us to enter. ”
The Eight Directions Trapped God Array, the ground level formation is mainly trapped, and the formation gate is all raw doors before entering, and once it touches the formation eye formation, there is only one living gate to escape, that is, the underground marked by the drawings! Even if you can get lucky enough to open the underground door, if you want to get out of there, you have to unlock a spirit sealing array, otherwise it will still be a dead end. As for what you can get after unlocking the Sealing Spirit Array, it is unknown!
The two of them approached the statue smoothly, and just entered the range of five hundred, Rong Yuji felt that his divine sense was closed, and he could only explore in this range. He turned around and tried to walk back, but sure enough, he was blocked by a huge pressure, and at this time, the five hundred steps around the statue had become an enclosed space of its own.
"Qidi, try to shoot an arrow in the air!"
An arrow shot into the air in a hurry, striking headlong into the void a hundred feet away from the air, making a muffled thud and falling.
"Brother Yu, there is really a confinement!" Miao Qidi said with a frown.
"It's okay, if you come, you will be safe, I think the person who came in before must have been attracted by this statue to trigger the formation and be trapped in it, leave it alone, go and see the statue!" Everything is completely in line with Rong Yu's inference, Rong Yu is now uneasy, and looks very calm.
When the two of them were close to the statue, before they had time to take a closer look, the space shook, and an ethereal voice came into mind: "Welcome to my world, to be able to come here, you and I must have a fate in my previous life, here is the inheritance of my life's work, you only need to understand my situation in front of my statue, you can get my inheritance, the number of people is not limited, but after a stick of incense, the wind and blade tide will come, and then those who fail to understand it will die or live, start now!"
Miao Qidi stood facing the statue, her hands drooped as Rong Yu did, and she slowly closed her eyes.
