Chapter 42: A Conversation with a Dirty Old Man
The dirty old man knew a lot about ancient things, he didn't hide it, and told Yang Chen and Nie Hongyue everything about Falling Dragon City.
In that mysterious era, after the birth of the underground palace, many sects went to explore, but the result was that the whole army was wiped out, and tens of thousands of monks died in the terrifying temple, turning into resentment and evil spirits, accumulating a large amount of evil energy, and causing chaos in the human world.
When the city lord of Falling Dragon City learned about it, he resolutely did everything he could, moved the entire Falling Dragon City to the top of the palace, and at the same time set up a large array to suppress the trouble.
"The original place where the Falling Dragon City was located was a mountain cliff, where a real dragon fell, the dragon's blood soaked the entire mountain, and the aura was extremely dense, which is why the founding ancestor of the Falling Dragon City was located there. ”
"The ancient city has stood on that cliff for thousands of years, and there are formations running at every moment, absorbing the dragon qi left behind by the death of the true dragon, and over time, the Falling Dragon City has turned into a blessed land, as long as you live there, even mortals can live for hundreds of years. The dirty old man narrowed his eyes, his thoughts drifted to the infinite years, he said: "Dragon qi is the foundation of the Falling Dragon City, that city lord is too confident, thinking that with the dragon qi accumulated for thousands of years, he can kill the resentful souls in the ancient temple, but he lost a lot, not only all the monks in the gate have fallen, even the former immortal blessed land has become a ghost town, and the three powerhouses in the Shinto realm have been refined into ghost slaves by the creatures in the temple, and they will not be reincarnated forever." ”
Yang Chen and Nie Hongyue were shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect that the ghost city in front of them was actually such a powerful sect.
At the same time, they also admired the city lord, although it was his carelessness that led to the total destruction of the monks of Falling Dragon City, but his original intention was good after all, it was to suppress the palace chaos and restore the world to normal.
He was doing a good deed, but he failed, so he became a sinner, and if it weren't for some reason, there was a fault in the earth's civilization, he would definitely be recorded in history and reviled by future generations.
Yang Chen remembered the picture reflected by the jade pendant, and thought that the dragon-like mountain should be the place where the Falling Dragon City was originally located.
And the man in white who preached, could it be the Fallen Dragon City Lord?
Yang Chen couldn't guess, he asked, "Senior, what's in that underground palace?"
The dirty old man squinted his eyes slightly, crossed Erlang's legs, and replied: "There are extreme horrors, there are world-destroying creatures, even the guy in the south doesn't dare to fight hard." ”
Before sending Yang Chen and Nie Hongyue away, the dirty old man had promised the owner of the giant hands to join forces, but only a few minutes later, he was out, which showed how terrifying the depths of the temple were.
Yang Chen nodded as if he didn't understand, and the dirty old man said: "I didn't expect that guy named Ziwei to actually think of such a thing, let all the young monks enter the ghost town to experience and rob the treasures, since this is the case, then you can also go and join in the fun." ”
Yang Chen pointed at himself and said puzzledly: "Me?"
"Is there anyone else here?" said the dirty old man with a frown.
Nie Hongyue smiled awkwardly, her expression a little ugly.
The dirty old man explained: "The little fox's qualifications are good, but she was born in the wrong environment, and if she enters the ghost town with her current strength, she is looking for death, and besides, the fox is not a human being, is there a problem with what I said just now?"
He looked at Nie Hongyue, who was suddenly shocked, as if he had met an epic murderer, and asked cautiously, "Are you a fierce beast?"
The dirty old man was noncommittal, with a playful smile on his face.
He stared at Nie Hongyue's flawless face, his gaze swept over the other party's neck, and he smacked his lips and said: "It is rumored that the nine-tailed sky fox is not only beautiful and fragrant, but also attractive, even flesh and blood are the best ingredients, and the old man doesn't have much interest in drinking, why don't you cut off an arm and give me a drink, anyway, you are a monk, and you will be able to grow i again soon." ”
Nie Hongyue was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak anymore, hiding behind Yang Chen, shivering.
Yang Chen smiled bitterly: "Actually, there is not much difference between my strength and her, you have also seen the power of those people, if I go in, I will definitely be dead." ”
"It's good for young people to be humble, but if you're too modest, you shouldn't. The dirty old man squinted at Yang Chen and said: "With your physique, under the full explosion, you can kill this little fox with three punches, and it seems that you still have the blood of an ancient god clan flowing in your body, you have a unique advantage in the Ming Blood Realm, you can suppress the opponent with your blood, although the strength of those people is terrifying, and they are qualified to be called young supremes, but I don't think you are weaker than them, you just lack some exercises that are suitable for you." ”
Yang Chen felt that what the dirty old man said made sense, but it made sense, and he was still very clear about his strength.
Regardless of the young man who followed the four Great Emperors, the black-clothed young man who descended from the sky and was known as the Qianxu Dao, he was by no means an opponent.
He had a feeling that the other party must have reached the peak of the Ming Blood Realm, and it was even possible to go one step further, and his steps were firmly on top of the peak of the Ming Blood Realm.
The top here does not refer to breaking through the next realm, but refers to the fact that the rule that has always been measured by i in the Ming Blood Realm has been broken by him, just like a wooden bucket that could originally hold one catty of water, but he dismantled it and repacked it into a larger bucket, which can now hold two catties of water.
"Don't be presumptuous, it will take some time before the ghost city opens, during this period, you will first refine that Ding, and then I will pass on a kind of magical power to you, although it is not guaranteed to make you invincible, but at least you will not be killed. ”
The dirty old man drank wine, his eyes flashed with a little divine light, he was like an old man in the middle of his life, yawned, then ignored Yang Chen, and slowly fell asleep.
"Senior, you and I don't know each other, why are you so good to me?"
Yang Chen's heart was very puzzled, when he first met this old man in Hanguguan, the other party said that he would give him a chance, and now not only gave him a tripod and two crystal coffins, but also actually passed the law to him again, let him enter the ghost city to compete for treasures, he was a little puzzled anyway.
There was a snoring sound, and the dirty old man didn't know whether to pretend to sleep or fake sleep.
Yang Chen was a little helpless, so he had to obey the order and take out the Ding, and at the same moment, the dirty old man suddenly waved his hand, and a curtain of light shrouded them, isolating them from the outside world.
"Do not let your wealth be exposed. Nie Hongyue immediately understood.
The corners of the dirty old man's mouth rose, and he closed his eyes and said, "Don't think so much, let's improve our strength." ”
Yang Chen nodded, then sat in front of Gu Ding, pressed one hand on Ding's body, and began refining.
In his mental world, the pitch-black Da Ding, surrounded by endless terrifying blood, the divine radiance was diffuse, all of which emanated from the Ding, only to see that inside, there was actually a snow-white elephant corpse floating inside!
"Why is there an elephant corpse here?"
Refining the Gu Ding refers to refining with his own soul power, so at this time, Yang Chen only needs to move his mind to see the entire Gu Ding completely.
In the real world, there are no elephant carcasses in the ancient tripod, which means that the tripod may have an internal space, like a storage artifact.
Thinking about it, Yang Chen shrouded all his spiritual sense on Gu Ding, and pictures suddenly appeared in front of him.
In front of him is the blood-red earth full of fierce beast corpses, a Gu Ding with several big holes is floating quietly in the sky, its brilliance is dim, the fluctuation is very weak, and the body of the Ding is stained with the blood of countless races, all of which are flashing and flowing crystalline.
"It's all divine blood!"
Yang Chen was shocked that there was such a world hidden in the Gu Ding, but what surprised him the most was that the blood was all god-level fierce beasts, and each drop contained endless rune fragments, and one after another fierce beast birds could be seen floating in it.
He urged his divine consciousness and tried to take out the blood, but it was useless, the heaven and earth seemed to be blocked, the spiritual sense could not penetrate, and the contents inside could not get out.
"What a quirky Ding. In the real world, Yang Chen opened his eyes and frowned.
