Chapter 20: Murals

The hall was silent, except for the ripples around the altar that still made the slightest sound of crushing like dead leaves.

The last bit of the severed arm was not eroded by the white smoke, and the ripples still emitted mysterious ripples in the air.

After a few breaths, the last bit of black severed arm was shrouded in white smoke, and at this moment, the ripples disappeared instantly, and the severed arm fell like powder, if a gust of wind blew at this time, it would not leave a trace.

Wang Shanwei suddenly let out a long sigh, "Brother Wang, you ...... Alas!"

Wang Junyi's face was gloomy, "It's all your fault." ”

Wang Shanwei was silent, he walked to the wall, stretched out his feet on the wall for a cushion, the whole person jumped into the air, and when he was exhausted, he stretched out his feet on the wall again, and pulled out a little again, and when it was level with the gun, he reached out and held the gun, kicked the wall with one foot, and the spear came out of the wall, and Wang Shanwei fell steadily to the ground after a backturn.

Holding the shield gun, Wang Shanwei's heart eased slightly.

"No matter what Brother Wang thinks, it can't be recovered, so it's better to take the treasure and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. ”

"Your words are not true, but teach them how to believe you. ”

What Wang said is true. ”

Wang Junyi snorted coldly and didn't speak, but on the other side, Zhou Zhichu suddenly pointed up and asked, "You said before that you climbed up, what is on it?"

Above the hall, the darkness gradually calmed down and solidified after the ripples disappeared, but it didn't go down either.

"Yes, you can swim the dragon and climb the wall, you have been there, what is there?" Wang Junyi asked.

Wang Shanwei said slowly: "I did climb up, but no more than three zhang will be pressed down by an invisible pressure, now I think it must be related to the altar." ”

"You still haven't seen it, what will be on it?" Zhou Zhichu looked up in disappointment, the squirming darkness just now made him very uneasy.

"What else could it be," Wang Shanwei sneered, "Of course it's a monster." ”

"Monsters?"

"This is the Demon Suppression Tower, what else can there be besides monsters?"

"Now that you know, you're going to harm my nephew. Wang Junyi asked angrily.

"I said, at that time, I just wanted to attract the mechanism to attract Brother Wang's attention, how did I think that Xiao Wu happened to be standing there. ”

"Then why did you kill him just now? ”

At this time, Wang Shanwei was also a little angry, "Xiao Wu has turned into a demon, wouldn't it be ruined if he escaped, if it weren't for Brother Wang...... Hmph, it's too late to say anything. ”

"Don't pretend, you are afraid of the destruction of life, obviously afraid that Xiao Wu will escape and attract the innate masters of the Cao Gang, find out the ancient monuments and secret treasures, don't say that the secret treasures can't be kept, even your little life is not guaranteed. ”

Wang Shanwei's face changed suddenly.

Wang Junyi continued to ask, "Just now you said that this is the Demon Suppression Tower, I didn't believe it, but just now the altar was powerful and I had to believe it, since the altar is the core of the Demon Suppression Tower, the secret treasure is undoubtedly the Demon Suppression Magic Weapon, take away the magic weapon, you are not afraid of the birth of the monster?"

Wang Shanwei's face became even more ugly, and Zhou Zhizhi suddenly asked: "If it is really the Demon Suppression Tower, why are you still afraid that Xiao Wu will escape?"

Wang Junyi was furious, and a cold light shot towards the altar, "Xiao Wu is also called by you, bastard!"

The cold light brushed the young man's ears, and when it hit the altar, the altar was unscathed, and the hidden weapon turned a few times in the air and fell to the ground, a steel nail. Zhou Zhichu was shocked and angry, and Zhou Laohan pulled him towards him.

"My son, how are you?"

"I'm fine. ”

"That's good. ”

Zhou Zhichu buried the anger in his heart, remembered what happened before, and asked his father: "Dad, you just told me to run to the altar, how did you know that the altar would suppress that ...... Monster. ”

Wang Junyi snorted again when he heard the young man call Xiao Wu a monster, but this time he didn't make a move.

Zhou Laohan replied: "In the story, the demon tower is not suppressed by magic weapons, and there is nothing else here except the altar, so I guessed correctly." ”

"Xiao Wu is cursed and alienated, not exactly a monster, although he will be injured by the Demon Suppression Tower, but he will not necessarily be restricted, so it is very likely to escape. Wang Shanwei answered the question of Zhou Chuchu just now, and he continued:

"The reason why I dare to go to the secret treasure is because the secret treasure is not necessarily a demon suppression magic weapon. ”

"Hmm, how do you know that a secret treasure is not a magic weapon?" Wang Junyi can be said to have countless experiences, but such a monument is still unheard of, so he has to ask.

Wang Shanwei pointed around, "Look at the murals on the wall. ”

There are six murals on the wall, four of which are in the middle of the mountains, and the one seen before the beginning of the week is among them.

The other two frescoes depict a battle scene with a knight wearing a high crown on one side and a decidedly non-human figure on the other, and the last fresco is of the sea, in which there is a very high mountain peak, and on the peak there are two pillars, and in the middle of them stand many people, and if you look at the height of the person, the two pillars should be extremely tall.

There are several things in common in these murals, first of all, there is a protagonist wearing a high crown and wearing a gorgeous costume, Zhou Zhichu guessed that they should be the same person, this person is always the tallest in the mural, taller than the immortals flying in the sky, and secondly, the characters in the murals have no faces, it is likely that the color has faded over thousands of years, and finally there are immortals, except for the mural of the mountain peak in the sea, the other five have immortals in the sky.

"Brother Wei guessed that these murals were talking about a person named Qin Jiyong three thousand years ago. ”

"Qin killed Yong, the founding monarch of the pre-Qin Dynasty?" Wang Junyi was surprised.

The pre-Qin Dynasty was more than 3,000 years ago, leaving countless legends, among which the founding monarch Qin Yong was particularly bizarre, and Wang Junyi really heard a lot of them when he went south and north.

"I don't know, but that's what Brother Wei said. ”

Wei Dong was born in a scholarly family, and his family was backward and lived in the rivers and lakes, but with a body of knowledge and decades of experience, his statement is still reliable.

Wang Shanwei pointed to the battle scene, "This mural should say that Qin Jiyong led his subordinates to fight with monsters, and there were immortals to help fight." ”

In this mural, the high-crowned fancy man who may be called Qin Jiyong is leading many knights to charge, and the other side is obviously not human, there are strange shapes and everything, and there are immortals in the sky who are holding law enforcement weapons towards the monsters.

"After the battle, Qin Jiyong built four demon towers with the help of immortals," Wang Shanwei pointed to four other murals that were building in the mountains, and continued: "There are immortals in these four murals, and this triangle should be the altar of the demon suppression. ”

Sure enough, all four murals have a triangular sign in them.

"I said that the secret treasure is not a demon suppression magic weapon, and for this reason, you see, there is only an altar on it but no weapon, which means that it is this altar that really suppresses demons, not the secret treasure on it. ”

Everyone was stunned, there was really no shadow of a magic weapon in the mural, of course, first of all, we must affirm that the triangle was the altar, but Wang Shanwei's inference was indeed very likely.

"Then what exactly is this magic weapon, and how can it appear at the Demon Suppression Altar?" asked Wang Junyi.

Wang Shanwei shook his head and said: "I don't know, but Brother Wei guesses that there are two possibilities, one is the pre-Qin Zhenguo magic weapon, which was placed here to suppress the national fortune......"

"Zhenguo Magic Weapon!" Wang Junyi became excited, "According to legend, the pre-Qin Zhenguo Magic Weapon contains the secret of the Divine Creation Era, and it must be in it!"

"Yes, if you want to enter the innate right in front of you, I just want to gamble. ”

Wang Junyi looked at the faintly glowing secret treasure on the altar, and his eyes burned.

"Is there another possibility?" Zhou Laohan was worried.

Wang Shanwei glanced at Zhou Laohan and didn't speak.

Zhou Chuchu's heart moved, "There is also a possibility that the secret treasure is indeed a demon suppression magic weapon, but it is only integrated with the altar, so it is not painted in the mural." ”

Wang Shanwei looked at Zhou Chuchu in surprise, and said slowly: "Brother Wei did say so, but ...... I don't believe it!"

Old Man Zhou stood up suddenly, his chin and beard trembling, "I'd rather believe this kind of thing, how can I gamble without believing it." ”

The young man also stood up, looked at Wang Shanwei coldly, and said, "You don't believe it, but Wei Dong believes it, and that's how you two clashed." ”

"No," without waiting for Wang Shanwei to speak, Wang Junyi shook his head instead: "If Brother Wei is unwilling to take the secret treasure, he will not come to the ancient site alone, so Brother Wei must not believe it, this matter is promising." ”

Zhou was stunned at the beginning.

Old Man Zhou trembled, was furious, and pointed at the second king and scolded: "It's just a beast, once you make a mistake, it will definitely harm the common people, how dare you do this!"

This time it was Wang Junyi's turn to be stunned, scourge the common people, this kind of sin is not something ordinary people can bear, even if it is a careless Jianghu person.

"Brother Wang, the secret of the ancient curse may also be hidden in it. Wang Shanwei saw that Wang Junyi was shaken, and suddenly said such a sentence.

Wang Junyi's expression moved, Xiao Wu was the only bloodline of the Wang family, and he became a monster like this, he was indeed unwilling.

"Moreover, even a monster can't live for more than 3,000 years without eating or drinking, even if it really lives for so long, it really escapes, isn't it ......" Wang Shanwei pointed to the mural and said, "Aren't there immortals here." ”

"Immortals?"

"Immortals!" Wang Shanwei nodded, his tone affirmative.

"There have been no legends of immortals since the pre-Qin period, and there are still immortals?"

"Immortals are immortal and indestructible, and after the monsters are suppressed, the world is peaceful, so naturally they will not be born. ”

"The world is peaceful?" Wang Junyi looked at Wang Shanwei strangely, the world has been divided for a long time for three thousand years, and wars have occurred frequently, just a year ago, there was a big war in this territory, and more than 10,000 people died, when has this world been peaceful.

"The affairs of the world, the immortals will not care, the monsters do not come out, the immortals do not come out, if the demons are born, the immortals will also be born. As he spoke, Wang Shanwei also pointed to the mural of the battle scene.

Wang Junyi thought about it, it really made sense.

"But if the monster is born, aren't you afraid to reveal the fact that you took the secret treasure?"

Wang Shanwei smiled slightly and said: "If a monster is born, it is still possible, but if a group of monsters are born, how can the world care about any secret treasures." ”

If the demons are born, the world will be in chaos, how can anyone care about any secret treasures at that time, but it is inevitable that the lives will be ruined, this Wang Shanzhen is really as Zhou Laohan said, for his own interests to harm the common people, it is really ruthless.

Wang Junyi was undecided.

"Zhenguo magic weapon, above the innate top, maybe this is the road to immortality. Wang Shanwei added an irresistible weight to the end.

On the road to immortality, Wang Junyi's heart became hot, and the legend of the ancient immortals suddenly came out of his mind, it was the temptation of eternal life.

Zhou Zhichu didn't understand the conversation between the two, but he felt that Wang Junyi was shaking, and his heart was anxious, and when he saw the last mural, he blurted out and asked.

"And what does the last mural say?"

Wang Shanwei was stunned and shook his head: "I don't know, Brother Wei can't guess, I only know that it should happen after the completion of the Demon Suppression Tower, maybe it is overseas Penglai, by the way, maybe it is where the immortals are escaping." ”

Wang Junyi nodded, he had been completely moved, but he still had one last thing to worry about, "If you take the secret treasure, how will it be distributed?"

Old Man Zhou sighed, "Woe to the common people!"

"Hmph, if you say that I will kill you, what does it matter to me, you should still care about yourself. Wang Shanwei looked at Zhou Laohan impatiently with cold eyes.

Zhou Zhichu stopped in front of his father, clenched his fists, and looked at the two kings angrily.

Wang Shanwei glanced at the father and son of the Zhou family with a sneer, turned his head and replied to Wang Junyi: "There is only one secret treasure, if we take it, we will naturally be inseparable, and it will not be too late to talk about it until the mystery is completely solved, but Brother Wang's skills are profound, and he must have entered the congenital earlier than Wang, and it is very possible to be above the innate at that time." ”

"Haha, there are a few innate masters in the rivers and lakes, and there is no way to talk about the innate master, I just hope to find a way to unlock the curse and save my poor nephew. It's you, brother, who are young and promising, with a flexible mind, maybe you will be the future leader of the Cao Gang. Wang Junyi smiled, which can be regarded as acknowledging what Wang Shanwei said.

"Haha," Wang Shanwei also smiled, "Brother Wang said that as long as you take the secret treasure, with Brother Wang's talent, you will not be able to catch it congenitally." ”

Both of them looked up to the sky and smiled, but what they thought in their hearts was unknown to others.
