68. The Secret of Yellow Springs
Inside the ancient castle of Huangquan
Mu Bairan slowly pushed open the door, looking at the spiral steps spiraling all the way up and frowning. "It's a hassle for me to go up? ”
Mu Bairan walked to the entrance of the steps and put his hand on the wall and tapped lightly, and he found that there was an echo. Mu Bairan's eyes narrowed. When he was chasing Izanami before, he looked at the upper floors of this palace and couldn't find what he was looking for. The echo of the wall indicates that the inside of the wall is empty. Mu Bairan thought of this, patted his head and smiled: "Mu Bairan, Mu Bairan, you are really old and confused." Just because there's no one on top doesn't mean there's no one down there. ”
After speaking, Mu Bairan smiled slightly, gently raised his foot and stomped down hard. There was a "bang", and I saw that the cracks with Mu Bairan as the center spread out in all directions. Eventually, the entire hall collapsed with the floor facing down. A bottomless pit appeared in front of Mu Bairan. Mu Bairan floated in the air and looked at the crack under his feet and smiled: "There should be a clever way to go down, but I don't have so much time to make a clever life, old man." It's so simple and rude, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. With that, he slowly floated down.
Mu Bairan floated to the lowest part of the giant pit, and a small ball of light floated up from Mu Bairan's body and shone in mid-air, illuminating the entire bottom of the giant pit. Mu Bairan found that the huge pit he smashed open was actually a patio. The walls of the patio are carved with murals on all sides. The depiction of the portrait on the mural attracted Mu Bairan's attention. Because he saw himself on the easternmost fresco. Not only that, but there were words on the walls, and those words were the ones he used when he lived on the Blue Star.
Mu Bairan narrowed his eyes and teleported to the mural. Tsai stared at the mural carefully. After looking at a few more pictures behind him, Mu Bairan stopped. He probably understood the meaning of the first few pictures. The walls depict scenes of your ascension and what happens after your ascension. It turned out that after five thousand years of ascension, due to the increasing number of cultivators, he excessively absorbed the source qi of the Blue Star, causing the source qi of the Blue Star to dry up and enter the frozen period, and the era of cultivators entered the end of the world. In the end, under the sacrifice of a group of powerful people, all the remaining source qi of the Blue Star was gathered together to open up a small world with the dislocation of the Blue Star, and the remaining cultivators were also the last survivors to hide in the small world. After that, the source qi of the Blue Star was completely depleted, and the Blue Star entered a period of ice that lasted for 100 million years. After 100 million years, the source qi of the Blue Star began to slowly recover, the creatures of the Blue Star began to appear, and the Blue Star entered the next era of civilization. And the cultivators who used to hide in the small world controlled the trajectory of the Blue Star as gods. And that small world was later called the Divine Realm.
Mu Bairan suddenly remembered what Duan Feifei had said to him again, if he went to that world, it was best to have a good relationship with the Ninth Bureau and the Gu family. It turned out that she meant that Gu Hanmo's Gu family and the Nine Bureaus all came from this so-called divine realm.
Mu Bairan continued to walk towards the next mural. The later mural tells the story of why Izanami was driven into the Yellow Spring, and why the Yellow Spring existed. It turns out that Yellow Springs is not a world that the deceased will come to after death. This is a prison, and the entire Yellow Springs country is holding a wild beast that even the gods fear, and it has been called the God Slayer. And its feed is the dead souls and bodies that have been transported here after death. Mu Bairan probably knew that the so-called Yellow Spring was similar to Broken Soul Street, both of which were small spaces carved out separately. But people who have such means can only be done by people who break the realm.
Mu Bairan touched his chin, there were too many questions, and he said that he hadn't figured it out. However, he knew that if he wanted to know these things, he would have to go to the divine realm ruled by the remnants. Mu Bairan pointed to the portrait of the giant beast on the wall and said with a smile: "Really, even this little loach has to be turned into a god slaughterer, and the last days are really a bunch of useless things." Well, let me see where this God Butcher is kept. ”
Mu Bairan continued to look at the mural. The last mural depicts a circle, and a door can be seen behind it. Mu Bairan raised his eyebrows when he saw the magic circle, he couldn't be more familiar with the magic circle. It was the family seal circle he created when he was still the head of the Mu family. In addition to the corresponding spells and hands, this method requires the blood of your own people.
Seeing this formation, Mu Bairan's heart shook for a moment, "My clansmen... Are they still alive?" Mu Bairan boldly guessed that there were also his own clansmen among the survivors. If there are their own clansmen in it, then it can also explain why their sculptures appear in the Mujiazu Temple in the public world. If his own people really still exist in this world, then it is not a coincidence that he fell in love with the Mu family in the public world.
Mu Bairan thought about it, this magic circle has a communication effect. If you unlock the circle, the caster's side will definitely know. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Mu Bairan's mouth, and he raised his hand to force out a drop of his own blood and threw it on the wall. Without spells or hands, the circle was automatically opened.
Spell stripes were torn apart, and a pitch-black metal door appeared in front of Mu Bairan. Mu Bairan waved his hand, and the door opened. The door opened with a terrifying roar and footsteps that made the ground tremble. Mu Bairan floated a fan in his hand, Mu Bairan opened the fan and shook it gently, and a strong wind blew out of the door, blowing up his long silver hair. A smile hung on the corner of Mu Bairan's mouth, and he said softly: "It's been a long time since I moved my muscles and bones, I hope you don't make me regret it." ”
In a certain palace in the divine realm, the old man sitting on the futon slowly opened his eyes. A hint of unease appeared on the face of the ravines eroded by the years. He beckoned, and a snow-white bird flew into the hall. The old man said to the bird: "Tell me to go down, whoever is in the mortal realm, let me go to Huangquan and take a look." The seal of the year was opened. Go quickly!"
The bird nodded, and quickly flapped its wings and flew out of the window next to it. After the bird flew out, the old man violently spat out a mouthful of blood to the ground. The old man looked at the blood on the ground and thought to himself: Who is it? Such an innocent and domineering bloodline. Is it true that our Mu family... Is there still the ancestor's lineage alive?
