Chapter 396: The Palace Collapses
"Two, you're bored, aren't you?"
Looking back, Yin Tiancheng found that Xun Chi came over at some point, followed by the two brothers Wang.
"It was my negligence that I shouldn't have allowed the two of you to attend the ceremony. Xun Chi said quietly: "Let's go to the cottage and have a cup of tea." ”
Looking at the villagers passing by in twos and threes, Yin Tianchengfang realized that the festival was over, and hurriedly saluted and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
After a pause, he said again: "It's a pity that I didn't enter the temple to watch the ceremony just now, can I take a look at Hou Yi's holy relics now?"
"Once the gate is closed, it cannot be opened without special reasons. Wang Er refused.
"Yin Gongzi is a guest from afar, let's try to meet his requirements. ”
Xun Chi ignored Wang Er's protest and said leisurely: "Please come with me." ”
Quietly outside the door of the palace, Wang Erji reluctantly took out the key and opened the lock full of patina.
Yin Tiancheng stepped over the threshold and saw the dark hall in his eyes, so he had to stop where he was and turn around to look at Xun Chi.
"Wait a minute. ”
Xun Chi waved his hand lightly, and the hall was lit up again.
The group came to this stone pillar about seven feet high, and after a few glances, Yin Tiancheng had a knowing smile on his face.
Sure enough, as he expected, there were the same reliefs on the surface of the stone pillars, and the paintings were still depicted with those strange-shaped monsters.
Each monster has an unpleasant physical trait, but is generally close to a humanoid.
This made Yin Tiancheng even more convinced of his own judgment, Hou Yi, Di Jiang and Nuwa were from the same race, and they were far older than most gods.
Thinking about it further, maybe there was some kind of relationship between the three ancient gods and the ancient ancestor of Pan, but he couldn't prove it.
Just when Yin Tiancheng was about to ask about the specific origin of the stone pillar, he suddenly saw that the gem lit up with a faint red light.
This immediately caught his eye, the gem on the pillar had a distinctly different structure from a red gemstone such as agate, it seemed to have been specially processed, and it looked like a blood diamond.
"Strange, why is it shining again? It stands to reason that gems only shine brilliantly for a fixed period of time!"
At this moment, Yin Tiancheng heard Wang Da muttering behind him, and there was surprise and uneasiness in his voice.
"What's so strange, today hasn't passed yet, and it's normal for the Star of Hope to bloom again. Wang Daman answered his brother's question indifferently.
After listening to the conversation between the brothers, Yin Tiancheng knew that the name of this gem was the Star of Hope.
He secretly said, "What a good name! It just echoes the Valley of Hope, and it seems that they have high hopes for this land." ”
"I would venture to say that I can take a closer look at this gem and even touch it with my hands?" said Yin Tiancheng with his own request.
"Absolutely. ”
After getting Xun Chi's permission, Yin Tiancheng stretched out his white and slender fingers to stroke the gem.
He wanted to identify the type of gemstone and find out why it suddenly shone brightly.
His fingertips touched the gem, and Yin Tiancheng sensed that there was a heat inside the gem that was transferred into his palm.
He tried to withdraw his fingers, but found that they were stuck and couldn't be removed.
Before he could react, a faint ray of blood light appeared from the gem, and it slowly expanded, like a ripple that soaked the entire stone pillar, and at the same time, a vague sigh was faintly heard.
It couldn't have been a normal person's voice, more like the whimpering of a lonely ghost.
"Stop!"
Wang Er shouted, wanting to step forward to stop Yin Tiancheng.
Nangong Yan looked in a daze, probably because of Yin Tiancheng's presence, she didn't feel too much fear in her heart, she opened her mouth and asked, "Yin Gongzi, do you feel that something is wrong?"
In this case, Xun Chi also saw the abnormality, he stopped Wang Er, stepped forward and put his hand on Yin Tiancheng's shoulder.
As the big hand pressed over, Yin Tiancheng's heart sank, and the ghost-like voice disappeared in his ears.
However, the ripple-like blood light unexpectedly swirled and turned into an orderly array of colorful lights.
In an instant, with the gem as the center, the colored light receded like a tide in the form of radiation, and Yin Tiancheng's eyes were filled with the joyful scene of the festival, and he felt that his ears were filled with passionate music and people's laughter.
"Did you see that?" Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but ask.
"What did you say?"
Xun Chi made a forbidden gesture to everyone and asked, "Young Master Yin, what do you see?"
Yin Tiancheng couldn't hear anything, he felt as if he was in a distant time, personally participating in another grand celebration.
People kept passing by, and they hooked their shoulders with happy expressions on their faces.
Looking in the direction of everyone's progress, a tall altar rises from the ground, singing and dancing on the stage, and the festival has reached its climax!
As if hearing a long-lost call, Yin Tiancheng was dragged through the crowd, no one paid attention to his presence, and everyone hurried to the destination, the altar that could bring joy to everyone.
After passing through several seas of people one after another, Yin Tiancheng was never able to get close to the high platform, but the scene in front of him made him feel extremely familiar, as if he had participated in the same festival countless times before......
The next moment, everything around him was blurred, ominous noises filled his ears, the crowded crowd, the tall altar, and the joyful atmosphere all lost their colors in Yin Tiancheng's senses.
Only a majestic figure standing in the lamplight became clearer and clearer, wearing a unicorn helmet and golden armor...... Yin Tiancheng finally found out that the person turned out to be himself!
After a moment of trance, Yin Tiancheng suddenly woke up and realized that he had seen Hou Yi himself.
As he understood, Hou Yi's image dissipated in his eyes, and in his place were three equally heroic figures.
They are gods, and the divine light that emanates from their bodies is sprinkled warmly on them.
Yin Tiancheng suddenly burst into tears, because he saw Tai Feng's appearance when he was young, as well as Xun Chi who was fully clothed.
And the last one, although his face was full of anxiety, he immediately recognized this god as the Wu Luo he was looking for.
Yin Tiancheng couldn't control his emotions and walked towards these gods......
"King, you're back!"
The three gods smiled in unison, and fell to their knees like warriors in front of him.
"No!"
Yin Tiancheng shouted in a lost voice, and his consciousness suddenly sobered up.
Time suddenly stopped, and the scenery around him receded at an incredible speed, and he suddenly returned to reality, sweating profusely.
"Yin Gongzi...... Are you alright?"
Seeing that Yin Tiancheng was uneasy, Nangong Yan hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face.
Xun Chi showed concern in time and asked tentatively, "You see something you shouldn't see?"
"Yes. Yin Tiancheng gasped and said, "I seem to have arrived in another place, and I saw you, as well as Taifeng and Wuluo." ”
"Really?" Xun Chi shook his head and said, "Are you sure what you see is not an illusion?"
"I don't know ......"
Yin Tiancheng didn't know how to answer, and suddenly, everything he saw came into his mind very clearly.
How so, is this indicative of anything?
Yin Tiancheng hesitated, said the images of Taifeng and Wuluo he saw, and also said what they were wearing.
In the end, Yin Tiancheng was afraid that everyone would not believe it, and he said what he saw Xun Chi's full body wear.
"No, I haven't worn that armor in over a thousand years. Xun Chi was a little surprised, and asked in an urgent tone, "What else did you see?"
Yin Tiancheng settled down and told everyone what he had just seen and heard without reservation.
For a moment, several people around him couldn't help but show surprised expressions.
"That's King Yi...... Take us to the last prayer ceremony before rebelling against the dogs!"
"That's right, at that time, this stone pillar was erected on the altar by King Yi himself as the cornerstone of victory!"
The two brothers stared at Yin Tiancheng, and a series of questions poured out in their minds: "Who is this person? How does he know about the events of more than a thousand years ago......?"
However, the situation did not allow them to think too much, and at this time, Yin Tiancheng's body twitched violently, as if he was in great pain.
As soon as Xun Chi wanted to cast a spell to eliminate his pain, he saw a blazing divine light flying out from Yin Tiancheng's chest and staying above the stone pillar.
The divine light immediately rose, and then quickly dimmed, although the vision was obscured for a moment, Yin Tiancheng still saw its true face: the dragon and phoenix are auspicious and jade!
At this moment, as if by induction, the gem squirmed like a living thing, and then rose off the pillar and merged with the jade.
In the next moment, the gem was perfectly set in the jade ring, as if it had been born naturally.
At the same time, all the lights were extinguished by a mysterious force, and the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, who had fused with the gem, revealed their original form from the darkness.
It turned out to be a divine eye, and a divine light was bursting out from its pupils and shining on the top of the stone pillar, pouring down like a curtain of light.
"Is something strange going to happen soon?"
Yin Tiancheng was extremely surprised, but the scene that followed left him dumbfounded.
The dragon and phoenix Chengxiang broke without warning, shattered into countless powders and fell to the ground.
But the matter did not end there, at this time, the stone pillar was shrinking violently, as if resisting some kind of binding force, and a divine light of the same type as the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang suddenly burst out from the pillar.
In an extremely short period of time, the divine light skyrocketed dozens of times, and it soared into the sky, breaking through the top of the temple, thus setting off an incomparably strong shock wave, which quickly spread.
Nangong Yan was shocked down on the spot, the Wang brothers also took a few steps back, and Xun Chi and Yin Tiancheng subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands.
The rubble rolled down, and the divine light in the air stretched out, dragging a feeble arc, and submerged into the layers of clouds.
"The Star of Hope is gone like this?, surnamed Yin, what did you do?" asked Wang Eryu, who came back to his senses.
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying sound came from the depths of the earth, like the roar of a monster, and like a dull thunderbolt.
"How can there be such a ......" Xun Chi's face suddenly changed. "Not good!"
At that moment, the earth trembled, and the palace shook, and the walls began to crack, and debris fell, and countless tiny, diagonal cracks appeared in the ground.
"There is danger, everyone get out of here!" Xun Chi's face had changed greatly.
Only then did everyone come to their senses and rush out.
At the moment when they just ran out, the palace behind them completely collapsed, and everything in the hall, whether it was the stone pillars or the broken jade, was buried deep in the ground.
