Chapter 6: The Return of the Immortal Emperor (3)
That golden light just now is spiritual power?
Xiaobai said that this world is the cultivation realm, and all that is used is spiritual power, and the rest of Qingruo has no patience to listen.
Qing Ruo muttered a few times in a low voice, and a white shadow suddenly flew out of his sleeve and flew towards the place where the golden light appeared.
Qing Ruo picked up a hat that she didn't know the corpse had fallen and put it on herself, tied her crutches around her waist, and straightened the somewhat wrinkled robe on her body.
This robe was custom-made for her by Lin Er, a black unknown fabric, very comfortable to the touch, and a dragon embroidered with gold thread on it, hovering on the robe, lifelike.
She used to think that the robe was a bit outdated for that era.
It's appropriate to dress now, it's a little similar to what those people on the ground are wearing, and they all have the air of a long history.
But after a while, the white shadow came back, stopped in front of Qing Ruo, and saw that the white shadow turned out to be a palm-sized paper figure.
As soon as Qingruo raised his arm, the paper man flew back into his sleeve,
After receiving the paper, Qing Ruo straightened up and strode towards the depths of the forest, not seeing his previous old state.
In the depths of the woods, Qingruo found traces of people stationed, but there were fewer corpses.
There were even living creatures, some strange beasts, which ignored her, as usual.
Contrary to the outside, the depths of the woods near the golden light were full of life.

Under the forest, in a cold underground palace.
"Come in! We're in! ”
A black-robed man looked at the vermilion gate in front of him and shouted excitedly, his bloodshot eyes full of greed.
And the people behind him had different looks, each with a ghost in their hearts.
A middle-aged man stood up and arched his hand
"Senior, since the treasure is inside, why don't we go in quickly."
He had had enough of it, and after entering the ruins, his men had suffered countless casualties and so many casualties, and the family would definitely be greatly injured when he went out.
The black-robed man snorted coldly when he heard this, if it weren't for the fact that entering the underground palace required many living sacrifices, and he also needed them to cover his identity,
Otherwise, how could he cooperate with these idiots and almost ruin his good deeds.
So far, he has only commanded behind him, never moved his hands, and has never left any traces.
There are countless treasures in the ruins, and he only wants one treasure.
Thinking of the treasure inside, the man's face softened
It's just a matter of giving them some wealth outside of his body, and the real treasures will still belong to him in the end.
"Let's go."
With that, the man raised his hand and pushed his palm, and the door clicked and opened.
Everyone hurriedly became vigilant, they encountered too many accidents along the way, and they had to be cautious at this moment.
The black-robed man was unmoved, his eyes flashed with disdain, and he walked straight into the door.
Seeing this, everyone had to hurriedly follow,
Unlike the empty underground palace before, when everyone entered the door, they found themselves standing on a circular high platform, and under the high platform was a deep inkhole of water.
A bridge connects the round platform on the opposite side.
There is a black snake-shaped stone carving on the round platform, the snake head of this stone carving has a pair of horns, the snake body has two pairs of animal feet, the finger is like an eagle's claw, like a snake is not a snake, like a dragon is not a dragon.
After a closer look, I found that there was a square box in the mouth of the black snake.
I don't know how many years the box has been there, it is covered with dust, and it is no longer visible in its true color.
"That's what the seniors were looking for?" When the people saw the box, they breathed a sigh of relief.
They had already received a lot of benefits before they came, and they had also taken a lot of good things after entering the ruins.
Now all they have to do is what the mysterious man wants, and they can get out of this hellish place with it.
This mysterious person suddenly appeared in Fucheng, and everyone didn't know what his identity was, only that his cultivation was extremely high.
When he explained that he was going to cooperate with the major families of Fucheng to enter the ruins, they were all moved, and they all knew that there was a ruin in the forest.
However, they also knew that with their strength they would not be able to enter the ruins at all.
This is the only chance.
The black-robed man looked at the wooden box, his right hand stroking his gray beard, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, he said, "Yes, it is exactly what the old man is looking for." ”
"City Lord Xu is not going to offer sacrifices yet." A middle-aged man in a pale blue brocade robe said to the man who spoke earlier, his tone full of malice.
"The seniors haven't ordered it yet, what is the Lin family master anxious about." City Lord Xu breathed and said with an unhappy face.
The black man looked at the pond under the round platform and said, "It's time"
Then turn your eyes to the 'sacrifice'
The sacrifice was a 12-year-old boy, dressed in blood-stained white, with iron chains on his hands and feet, standing numbly in the crowd.
Sacrifices are not available to everyone, they took a lot of trouble to find sacrifices, and finally the seniors suddenly pointed out that they wanted a junior of the Xu family.
Even though they knew that this junior was not a descendant, they were somewhat disdainful of handing over their descendants as a sacrifice like this, and naturally they could not avoid ridicule and ridicule.
Seeing that everyone shifted their attention to himself, the young man only glanced back coldly.
"Bring him here." The black-robed man commanded emotionlessly.
The boy was pushed to the edge of the round platform,
The black-robed man took out his long sword and swung it at the young man's arm, the young man's bloodshot eyes stared at the city lord Xu, and he didn't even dodge when the long sword swung it.
City Lord Xu was stared at with a weak heart, and hurriedly shifted his gaze.
A cut was made in the boy's arm, and blood gushed out and fell into the pool.
The boy stumbled and fell on the edge of the round platform, and almost fell off the round platform.
Everyone didn't care whether he lived or died, and looked around nervously.
After a while, the originally calm pool of water was like boiling water, churning endlessly.
"Stand back."
The black-robed man said, throwing his blood-stained sword on the ground and taking a few steps back.
Listen to a loud bang,
A behemoth broke through the water, like a dragon but not a dragon, and it was exactly the same as the stone carving.
"Ho-shh
Half of the dragon's body was still in the water, covered with pitch-black lin, and there was no luster in the dim dungeon.
Jiaolong's blood-red eyes stared at the people on the round platform, spitting out the letter and preparing to go.
"Yes...... Is it a dragon?! ”
Everyone was shocked, and took a few steps back,
"Former ...... Senior, what should I do now? ”
"What's the panic, didn't we prepare sacrifices? This sacrifice is a great complement to it, and when it devours the sacrifice, I will find another opportunity to get the box. ”
The black-robed man stood in place with his hands behind his back, as if he had expected it for a long time, and there was no surprise at this moment.
The black robe did know about the existence of this dragon for a long time, and he came to find the treasures in the ruins for the head of the family.
To enter the ruins, a thousand living people were sacrificed, and the act of sacrificing living people was not tolerated by the world, and the power of the family could not be used, so the head of the family asked him to come secretly.
Before coming, the head of the house repeatedly emphasized the importance of this trip, and if he found a treasure, the master of the house would definitely reward him.
