Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Portal Hidden in the Void
"Look at the direction we are traveling now, it should be the Lihuo Palace in the Eight Palaces of Kaiyang. ”
In the vast ruins, the two men and a donkey walked slowly, and the bustling crowd around them was rarely visible.
As their footsteps deepened, the dead air gathered around them became more and more intense, and the pressure of the rules they felt on their bodies became heavier and heavier.
The stronger the strength, the stronger the coercion here, and as the footsteps go deeper, the suppression of this rule will become more and more obvious.
At this time, in the line advancing in the ruins, the old beggar thief looked at the dilapidated buildings around him, his shrewd eyes shining in the dim space, and roughly felt the direction in which they were going, which was Jiang Xiaoqi on the side.
"Oh, it seems that the beggar brother has a good understanding of the Kaiyang ruins. ”
Walking slowly in the broken ruins, Jiang Xiaoqi heard the words of the old beggar on the side with a smile, turned his head in surprise, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a little curiosity.
"Look at the good things on this guy, I guess he did a lot of stealing chickens and dogs. ”
"Even the Lihuo Palace of Kaiyang Holy Land knows, it is estimated that this old guy has long been thinking about the treasure here. ”
On the side, the old donkey tilted his ears, and also heard the old beggar's words, and then, with its big disdainful eyes, glanced at the old beggar, and glanced at the two extra strings of bright jade beads in the latter's hand, and couldn't help but grin sarcastically.
The old beggar was really sorry for his clothes, his clothes were in tatters, and the five toes of the straw sandals on his feet could show four and a half of them, and he threw him in the street, and gave him a small pot, and shouted that someone would give him some money.
But just now, the old donkey saw that this thief-eyed old beggar actually took out two more strings of brilliant jade beads from his arms and put them on his wrists stained with mud.
The bursts of divine light that permeated the jade beads were no worse than the two pieces that the old donkey had walked away.
With such a generous appearance, where is he as poor as he appears, this old liar must have done a lot of stealing and stealing things, otherwise, how could this guy have so many good things.
"This stupid donkey can speak human language, and must have become a sperm, or set up a boiler here, chop it and eat it, so that he can recover some strength. ”
Seeing that the old donkey doesn't look at people's lack of beating, the old beggar is not to be outdone.
Raising his hand to roll up the sleeve that was only half left, he immediately saw that he took out a half-human-high cauldron out of nowhere, resisted it on his shoulder, stared at the old donkey full of fat with his eyes, and his saliva was dripping onto the upper of his shoes.
"Your uncle, Lao Tzu will chop you up and throw it into the pot to make braised pork ribs. ”
Being stared at by the old beggar with straight hair, the old donkey immediately stopped moving forward, stood upright, raised two black donkey hooves, danced and chirped at the old beggar, and shouted in his mouth, also not to be outdone.
"Okay, now that we're here, big brother beggar will tell me the news you know, what is this so-called Kaiyang Lihuo Palace?"
Seeing that they were about to fight again, Jiang Xiaoqi stroked his forehead with his hand, a touch of helplessness flashed across his face, and then he blocked between the two, stopping a man-donkey battle, and then spoke, and asked the old beggar who was fighting against the cauldron on his shoulder.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoqi in front of him, the old beggar had no choice but to put away the cauldron, and after spitting at the old donkey opposite, he regained his previous thief look, looked around in the ruined ruins around him, and found that there was no longer a figure, so he smiled and immediately spoke.
"The old man watched the sky at night last night and found that there would be meteors falling into the sky today, and the genius would wither, which was a great omen. ”
With a handful of hairy beards, the old beggar leaned over to Jiang Xiaoqi's ear, opened his mouth with a mouthful of yellow teeth, and whispered.
"Does that have anything to do with the Fire Palace?"
Seeing the old beggar who was like a god stick, Jiang Xiaoqi also had a solemn expression, and planned to listen to it.
Thinking that he had told him some shocking secret, he held back for a long time, but in the end he said such a clueless sentence, which couldn't help but make Jiang Xiaoqi's face darken, and he resisted the urge to beat him violently, and asked again calmly.
"No, I don't. ”
Looking at Jiang Xiaoqi's gritted back molars, the old beggar spread his hands, deliberately pretending to be innocent, and explained loudly.
"Climb for you. ”
Flying up a hoof kicked the old beggar ten meters away, only to see the old donkey standing upright, touching his nose slightly, and glancing at the old beggar who rolled into the ruins with an arrogant face.
Lihuo Palace is one of the eight palaces in the Kaiyang Holy Land, and at the same time, it is also the strongest among the eight palaces.
There were even rumors in the market that there were fire attribute fragments of the Five Elements Origin stored in the Fire Palace, but I don't know whether it was true or not. However, the strength of this Fire Palace is true, and no one dares to question it.
If Jiang Xiaoqi didn't guess wrong, now, their location should be due west of Kaiyang Bagua, but the strange thing is that why can't you see the slightest uniqueness here?
"Don't play dead, old beggar, it's time for you to show your life. ”
After the two of them muttered a little, they saw the old donkey fly up, kick a stone under his feet, and smash it accurately on the head of the old beggar in the distance, and then heard a burst of grinning and invective from the ruins.
Then, I saw the old beggar limping out of the ruins and staggering to Jiang Xiaoqi's side, but then, I saw him violently rise, his thin arm directly choked the old donkey's neck, and he didn't shy away from the latter's black mouth.
In this way, a man and a donkey were scuffled together again, mixed together, dust flew on the ground, and a few screams came from time to time in the midst of swearing.
Not long after the time passed, Jiang Xiaoqi finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and pulled them away, and the two were temporarily truce.
However, when he looked at him, he couldn't help but laugh, the old beggar's ragged clothes were in tatters at the moment, and they had been torn into strips of cloth and had lost their function of covering their bodies.
In his mouth, which is missing half of his front teeth, there is a lot of donkey hair stuffed, and he is still spitting out in regurgitation.
As for the old donkey, his appearance was not much better, and he was bare in several places with his hair gnawed off.
And in its mouth, there are still a few strips of rags hanging on it, which are stained on its front teeth.
"Right now, everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, so let's ask this beggar brother to find the location of the Fire Palace first. ”
Looking at the embarrassment of one person and one donkey, Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't help laughing, but then, he still walked slowly to the old beggar's side, and asked him for advice with a kind face.
Before, the old donkey had told him that a long time ago, it had buried a treasure in this Lihuo Palace, but with the appearance of the Kaiyang Ruins, the location of the Lihuo Palace was gradually hidden, and he had to find the location of the entrance in order to go in and find the treasure back.
In addition to the unknown treasure of the old donkey, the reason why Jiang Xiaoqi chose Lihuo Palace as his first stop was also because of his own considerations, so no matter what the reason, he had to go in.
Originally, Jiang Xiaoqi planned to borrow the power of the Kaiyang rune to try to find the hidden location of the Fire Palace, but listening to what the old donkey said just now, this old beggar who is not good-looking is estimated to have some skills, so it is better to let him try, after all, Jiang Xiaoqi got the secret of the Kaiyang rune, and the fewer people who know it, the better.
"The word is separated, corresponding to the fire of the five elements, the direction is due west, judging from the direction shown on the compass, it should be here. ”
Pulling the hair off his mouth, the old beggar glared at the old donkey hatefully, and took out a palm-sized golden gadget from his arms.
It looks somewhat similar to a compass, with dense text engraved on it, and a jade pointer slowly rotating in the center.
Fiddling with the compass in his hand, the old beggar paced back and forth among the surrounding ruins, one would run to a high point to look out, and the other would lie on the ground on all fours, holding a handful of dust and putting it in his mouth to taste, like a charlatan.
In the end, the old beggar opened his mouth under Jiang Xiaoqi's suspicious gaze, baring a mouthful of yellow teeth, and then stuffed the compass into his arms and affirmed him like this.
"Since the location is good, why haven't we seen the so-called Lihuo Palace?"
Jiang Xiaoqi had already expected the old beggar's words, after all, he could roughly guess the direction.
It's just that what you see is still full of ruined ruins? Could it be that the Fire Palace has also become a dilapidated appearance in front of you with the annihilation of Kaiyang?
"This little brother doesn't know that as the most powerful holy place in the past, how can the ruins of Kaiyang be simple. ”
"Truth and falsehood, fiction and reality, sometimes what you see is not necessarily true. ”
"And the Lihuo Palace was distorted and folded by someone with a big trick to cover it up, and its real location was hidden in the space in front of us. ”
Looking at Jiang Xiaoqi's puzzled expression, the old beggar was rarely serious for a while, stroked his beard, and spoke in a deep voice, his sloppy expression gradually converged, and changed to a solemn look.
"This old beggar really knows something. ”
On the side, the old donkey also walked over, listening to the old beggar's words, his ears quietly propped up, his eyes glanced at him with some surprise, and muttered.
"Then dare you ask, how are we going to get in?"
After groaning, Jiang Xiaoqi finally understood, and listened to the old beggar's words, which roughly meant that the Lihuo Palace was not here, but hidden in a void in front of them, which was why they couldn't see it.
After understanding it in his heart, Jiang Xiaoqi couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this founder of Kaiyang was really strong and terrifying, and he was able to hide a palace in the void.
This kind of means of distorting space and opening up a separate world, even if it is a powerhouse at the power level, I am afraid it is beyond the reach of the dust.
"It's easy to do, as long as you urge Kaiyang's primordial rune to shine in this void in front of you, we will naturally be able to enter. ”
Looking at Jiang Xiaoqi's inquiring face, the old beggar grinned, his eyes looked at him directly, a pair of pupils had a shrewd look, and a slightly meaningful look appeared on his thin old face, and he said in a shy.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoqi's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and the palm behind him was slightly stunned, then turned his head away, smiled softly at the old beggar beside him, pretended to be a little puzzled, and spoke.
"What did the beggar brother say, and what is the primordial rune?"
The old beggar directly told Jiang Xiaoqi's rune secret, which couldn't help but make his heart tighten, and at the same time, he also had some doubts, he thought he was hiding it well, why did the old beggar still notice it?
"Hehe, Kaiyang's rules are not so easy to break, everyone comes here, and their strength is strongly suppressed, and the powerhouses at the power level are no exception. ”
"But the spiritual power that permeates your body is vigorous and vigorous, and it has not been suppressed in the slightest, if you don't have a treasure like a heirloom saint soldier on your body, then only the Kaiyang Rune can explain it. ”
Seeing Jiang Xiaoqi's deliberately feigned puzzled expression, the old beggar smiled, his eyes rolled slightly, feeling the vigorous spiritual power in Jiang Xiaoqi's body, and immediately explained.
"I see. ”
Listening to the old beggar's explanation, Jiang Xiaoqi suddenly realized. Cover it up everywhere, but in the end you forget its own breath.
However, it is no wonder that Jiang Xiaoqi, because of the relationship between the primitive runes, he can't feel the suppression of the rules that exist in the outside world, and naturally it is difficult to perceive the constraints that others are subjected to here.
"I hope that the beggar brother can help me keep it a secret. ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, Jiang Xiaoqi laughed, cast a kind look at the old beggar, and then, he turned around, closed his eyes slightly, and faced the barren and ruined ruins in front of him.
"On"
took a deep breath, and then, he saw that Jiang Xiaoqi's body was filled with spiritual light, and an unsuppressed majestic aura surged out of his body.
Then, his closed eyes suddenly opened at this moment, and on his forehead, a complex red line slowly appeared, the red light was reflected, the flames were sprinkled, and the next moment, in the surprised gaze of the old donkey and the old beggar, shot straight into the void space in front of him.
"Buzz"
As soon as the red light fell, he saw the boundless void that was silent in front of Jiang Xiaoqi, and suddenly there was a buzz, and the Sanskrit sound burst out, and the divine light was sprinkled.
Immediately afterward, I saw that under the dim space, there was a layer of ripples like water ripples, layer by layer, like a lake with stones thrown down, and the next moment, I saw a red light mirror slowly appearing, gradually condensing from the ripples of space, reflected in the eyes of the three.
"Go"
As soon as the portal appeared, he heard Jiang Xiaoqi drink in a deep voice, and his figure was the first to sweep out, step into the red portal, and disappear.
Then, the old donkey and the old beggar glared at each other, but without hesitation, their bodies jumped, followed Jiang Xiaoqi's footsteps, swept into the layer of ripple light mirror, and disappeared in the red portal.
