Chapter 394: Curiosity
Wen Chong and Min Lin entered the castle hall along the straight corridor, pushed open the old wooden door, and there was a fire scene in front of them, and the boiling fire kept burning.
Min Lin smiled, ignored the fierce fire, and walked straight inside, as if the king was coming, all the flames were extinguished at this moment, and he didn't dare to emit a trace of heat.
Wen Chong's pace followed Min Lin closely, and he had to admire Min Lin in his heart for conquering all the flames with just one blow.
The hall is about a few hundred zhang wide, the ground is rubble and tiles, a mess, the cracks on the ground clearly record the traces of the fight, but the ornaments in the hall are so ordinary, the eyes of the two are finally locked on the altar in the depths of the hall.
The shrine is about five zhang high, the stairs are towering and majestic, and a tall pillar is erected in the middle, leading to the zenith, and the wide patio keeps shining into the moonlight, making this shrine even more lonely.
The two of them walked forward, and there were pieces of ancient runes clearly engraved on the pillar, and Wen Chong didn't understand the slightest meaning after looking at it for a while, which was enough to see the antiquity of the words.
"The Well of the Heavenly Palace?" Min Lin said with a little question, he pondered the ancient words on it, kept recalling the ancient words in his mind, kept referencing, and kept groping, and gradually found some doorways.
"What does it have to do with the Heavenly Palace Fragment?" Wen Chong asked curiously, hoping that Min Lin could understand the meaning of this ancient text.
"This is a shrine, holding the power of the moon, you look at these lines, forming a circle in all directions, looking at the arrangement of these four stone pillars, the moonlight on the patio is shining down and is blocked by the shadows of these four stone pillars, this is the figure. Min Lin pointed to the shadow on the ground.
"Could it be that there is a secret passage here?" Wen Chong asked.
"Well, I'll try. Min Lin said, kept reading the font on the ancient text, bursts of light kept transmitting in, and the layers of powerful runes quickly broke away from the stone pillar, and kept bombarding the shadow, the ancient characters lined up, and the powerful moonlight power shone down.
With a rumbling sound, the ground was pulled apart, and a dark underground passage appeared in front of the two of them again, and a murderous aura kept overflowing.
"What a powerful murderous aura. Wen Chong exclaimed.
Min Lin floated through the murderous aura to the side, and his body quickly sank into the dark passage, Wen Chong didn't think much about it, and quickly followed Min Lin in.
Min Lin's speed was extremely fast, and he disappeared into the dark road in a blink of an eye, Wen Chong hurriedly walked forward, and heard the sound of fighting in the distance.
Boom, two consecutive energy collision sounds came, shaking the ground constantly, but the stone walls here were unusually solid, and they were not affected in the slightest.
A flash of fire in front of him entered Wen Chong's eyes, Wen Chong swept over quickly, turned a corner, and a grand hall appeared in front of him.
There were bodies lying on the ground that were burned by flames, and Min Lin was constantly bumping with a person. "Wen Chong, you stay here. Min Lin's voice came, and he saw that the powerful momentum of the figure burst out, and the whole person had disappeared in this direction.
Min Lin's two breaths burst out at the same time, unraveling the surging energy flow, and swept towards an exit in front of him, and his body disappeared in this direction.
Wen Chong was about to catch up, but he heard a weak voice coming: "Can't let him ...... He can't be allowed to take the Heavenly Compass. ”
Wen Chong froze, his eyes quickly looked at this huge hall, his gaze stayed on a figure, and he swept in one step.
"Hold on. Wen Chong's cold air quickly gave birth, and quickly submerged into the person's body, Wen Chongzhi felt a pain in his hand, and the whole person was blasted out.
It's fire.
"Don't save me, I've been burned by his fire. The man's voice came again, he was gray-haired, an old man.
Wen Chong operated two Xuan Gong at the same time, and the power of yin and yang appeared from his hand again, quickly submerging into the old man's body, and the rolling fire was slowly synthesized by his power of yin and yang, and no longer floated.
The old man's body felt a little comfortable, and he said clearly: "Don't let that person take away the Heavenly Compass, the consequences are unimaginable." The old man said.
"What is the Heavenly Compass?" Wen Chong asked curiously.
The old man coughed, a few mouthfuls of hot blood spurted out of his mouth, and he stood up his upper body, Wen Chong's hand hurriedly held it, "Look at that side." Following the direction of the old man's finger, Wen Chong clearly saw an eight-sided stone plaque carved on a shrine platform in front of him, and the symbols in the stone plaque were different, which made people puzzled about the meaning.
"The Heavenly Compass can guide the location of the Heavenly Palace Fragments, as long as you gather eight Heavenly Palace Fragments to reorganize the Immortal Realm, you can open the Immortal Land, you have to stop them, you can't let them succeed. The old man said bluntly, he was a dying man, and he could only tell Wen Chong all this, hoping that Wen Chong could stop all this.
"What's in the Land of Eternal Life, why can't it be opened?" Wen Chong asked.
"The land of immortality is a fierce land, you must not open it, otherwise it will ......" said that the old man's whole body was constantly convulsing, and the fire in his body was boiling again, he endured the pain and muttered: "Yes...... Pull...... Rise...... Generation...... Space...... Big...... Chaos" said that the whole person was enveloped in a breath of fire, and his body was on fire.
Wen Chong hurriedly pulled his hands and retreated, the raging flames were extremely powerful, and the old man's entire body was incinerated in an instant, turning into wisps of light smoke.
Wen Chong looked at the trace of ashes stupidly, and said stupidly: "Is there chaos in the world? What does it have to do with me." There is only that shadow in his heart, regardless of whether his place of immortality is a blessing or a curse, as long as he can save the red moon, everything will be spared.
A breath quickly submerged, and it was Min Lin who came back.
"How is it?" Wen Chong asked anxiously, only to see Min Lin shake his head, and said helplessly: "I can't catch up." After speaking, he looked at the raging flames on the ground, "Is he dead?"
Wen Chong nodded, indicating that he couldn't do anything, and said, "Do you understand the artifact of the Heavenly Compass?"
"I know a little bit, it is said that it can guide the location of the fragments of the Heavenly Palace, but I didn't expect that artifact to be in such a hidden area, but unfortunately, we are still a step late. Min Lin sighed.
"That person is from the Heavenly Realm just now, and the old man here said that the land of immortality cannot be opened, otherwise the world will be in chaos. Wen Chong recounted the old man's words.
"Hehe, chaos is chaos, God's will is like this, why do you need to do it, even if you don't look for the water of immortality, there will be many people looking for it. ”
"What about you, do you need it?" Wen Chong said bluntly with sharp eyes.
"Hehe, what joy in life, and no sorrow in death. Min Lin replied with a smile and walked inside.
Wen Chong's heart shook suddenly, and he also once said that the arrogant god-killing - Luo Tian.
"Who are you Luo Tian?" Wen Chong looked at Min Lin's back and said to himself.
The two of them walked towards the hall, where there was an ancient secret room, and the two of them would open the door of the secret room without much effort, and a thick smell of books wafted out from it.
"Hehe, it seems that there is still some gain. Min Lin said with a smile, and entered the small secret room, which was surrounded by bookshelves and dusty books.
Their eyes swept over the book on the table directly in front of them, not so much a book as a stone tablet engraved with handwriting.
There are about 100 characters engraved on it, to engrave such mysterious ancient characters on this hard stone, it is difficult to do without some cultivation, Wen Chong frowned, none of the ancient characters in front of him are known by himself.
Min Lin looked at Wen Chong's expression and smiled, "I can understand it, read it to you." ”
"The city of Jizo guards the compass of the sky, and the secret key of immortality, and the second can uncover the land of immortality, everyone must swear to protect the two things, and cannot let the land of immortality reappear in the sky, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Wen Chong looked at Min Lin suspiciously, "It's gone?"
Min Lin nodded and said with a smile: "The person who came was in a hurry, he only took the compass, and he didn't take the key, so he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”
"There's a box here, look?" Wen Chong looked at a rectangular object on the bookshelf.
Min Lin leaned out, pulled the box over, and urged a mental force into the box, and found that there was no danger, so he opened the box, only to see the golden light shining inside, and a needle-shaped object like a bun lying smoothly inside, and the dazzling golden light kept emanating.
"The secret to immortality?" Wen Chong's eyes were a little happy.
