Chapter 43: Nether Fire
Before coming to the main hall, the snow fairy turned around and looked at the people who followed, and said slowly, word by word: "Kunlun Temple, it is an ancient sect, although there are secret treasures in it, but it must be in danger. When the time comes, everyone will be able to gain according to their ability, but before the crisis, I hope that everyone can work together to gain something. ”
Although there are many sects in the same group, there are only dozens of people in the Xuanji Sect, and they are like a group of weak ants in front of this majestic Kunlun Temple.
Yan Zhen, the city lord who died in vain, took the lead and said: "Snow Palm Order, although you and I have grievances before, but today in this Kunlun Mountain, we must obey the Snow Palm Order in the face of danger. ”
Nadro, the master of the Daluo Palace, clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice: "This seat and the disciples under it should work together with everyone to tide over the difficulties. ”
Simon Wuwei immediately agreed on behalf of the Simon family.
Dozens of other scattered martial arts people also nodded hurriedly, for fear of being pulled down by a few big factions.
Seeing that everyone present had reached an agreement for the time being, the Snow Fairy said coldly: "I hope everyone is consistent with their words and deeds, otherwise it will be easy to enter this Kunlun Temple and difficult to get out, and we all have the possibility of eternal sleep in Jiuding Peak." ”
Li Tiantu knew that the Snow Fairy's concerns were not unreasonable, and the fortune and misfortune of this trip were unpredictable, but now he knew his physical condition very well, and hoped that there was really the flower of the meridians in the Kunlun Temple, so that he could recover. Otherwise, the rivers and lakes are so big that it is difficult to have their own place.
"I'm afraid this stone door weighs 10,000 catties, I don't know how to open it?" Yan Zhen asked, and couldn't help but look at Ou Dongping as he spoke.
After carefully observing the stone gate for a while, and thinking deeply for a while, Ou Dongping said confidently: "If the old man expected it to be true, the ancients were very confident in this Heavenly Star and Earth Evil Yuan Array, and there is no mechanism in this gate. If the inside of the stone door is unlocked, as long as the person with deep internal skills is outside, it should be able to open it with a push. ”
"Yan Jun is a master of the earth list, and his achievements are world-famous, so you can come forward and give it a try." Ou Dongping said with a smile.
"This..."Yan Zhen frowned slightly, seemingly reluctant.
"I'm going to give it a try." As soon as Nadero's words fell, he had already gathered all his strength and slapped his palm towards the stone gate.
In fact, as Ou Dongping expected, with a "squeak", the door was slapped open by Nadero's palm, revealing a gap that only allowed one person to pass by.
Nadro, who made a contribution, did not rush into the temple, but looked at the snow fairy.
Li Tiantu, who was following behind, watched coldly, but he couldn't tell whether this Daluo Palace Lord was real or the city was unfathomable.
The snow fairy did not ask for the opinions of everyone in the other sects, but said lightly: "Since it is the master who has made the effort to open the door, please go in the Daluo Palace first." ”
Nadro groaned slightly, and immediately said: "Then this seat will explore the way for you first." After saying that, he beckoned the two young disciples who accompanied him to enter the temple in turn.
After the three people of Daluo Palace entered the temple, the snow fairy and the Xuanji Gate people also walked towards the gate. In this way, it didn't take long for the people present to enter one by one, and all of them entered the Kunlun Temple.
So far, among the people who have entered the Kunlun Temple, there are four people from the Xuanji Gate, three people from the City of Vain Death, six people from the Ximen family, three people from the Tubo Daluo Palace, and eighteen people from other scattered sects.
The temple that has been silent in this Kunlun Sacred Mountain for more than a thousand years finally welcomed its first guests.
After entering the temple, everyone was in a high and wide enclosed space, and the four walls were covered with strangely carved floating statues. Only in front of the gate opened a slender corridor, the stone walls on both sides of the corridor every eight feet apart from the center of the wall symmetrically inlaid with pebble-sized night pearls, a glance can see through the end of the 100-meter corridor is inlaid with nearly 100 night pearls. The floor of the corridor is paved with huge black ashlars, and the top is pitch black, even if everyone's eyesight is extraordinary, they can't see through what kind of mystery is hidden in the pitch-black top.
Everyone stood at the end of the corridor near the gate, and although many of them stared at the huge night pearl that emitted a blurry light in the darkness, no one dared to step forward and snatch it at this time. The people who can come in this time are all outstanding people in the rivers and lakes, and of course they know that this road is not as simple as it seems.
"Ou Lao, is there a mechanism in this road?" The Snow Fairy asked.
Ou Dongping looked at the top of the pitch-black Yongdao and pondered: "This Yongdao should be the first level of the Kunlun Temple, and the temple protection mechanism should come from this top." Most likely, it was a poisoned arrow, which was the most common mechanism mode used by the ancients. ”
"Master Ou, can you test it by throwing stones and asking for directions?" Ximen He seemed to want to show himself in front of the snow fairy and pretend to be smart.
Glancing at Ximen He with disdain, Ou Dongping said contemptuously: "The ancients were all pedantic beings, and the organs they did naturally could not be one-off. How many stones can you throw? What's more, as far as I know, usually the power of such mechanisms will gradually increase over time, and it is best for everyone to pass them at once when they are cleared. ”
Ximen He wanted to ask for credit in front of the snow fairy this time, but he didn't expect to be despised by Ou Dongping, his face was slightly red when he heard this, and he stepped aside in a daze.
"There are hundreds of stones at the bottom of this path, and there should be only one correct route, and if you take a wrong step, you may touch the mechanism. This time the mechanism must have fallen from the sky, and the quenching arrow was the most likely, but perhaps there were other unknown dangers. This first level is broken by my mystery door, and you all line up one by one, following my footsteps, and you must not take half a wrong step. ”
After speaking, Ou Dongping took out the Tianji compass, and while controlling the compass, he raised his steps and stepped in the direction of the compass pointer.
The Snow Fairy and the other Xuanji Gate people followed, and the other people present did not dare to compete, as if they had just entered the main gate, forming a long dragon-like formation.
There was no accident in the first dozens of steps, and under the guidance of the Heavenly Compass, everyone walked nearly a third of the distance in the blink of an eye. Perhaps feeling that the trip was too smooth, a scattered Jianghu person stepped on a bluestone close to the stone wall, looked at the pebble-sized night pearl close at hand, and finally couldn't hold back the greed in his heart, and took an extra step with his left foot and stretched out his hand to grab the night pearl.
At the same time, a turquoise flame suddenly appeared above everyone's heads, and it quickly descended downward.
When Ou Dongping saw it, his face suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "Don't move, this is a ghost fire rumored to come from hell, otherwise there will definitely be more than one flower coming down, and everyone will die without a place to bury." ”
Everyone remained motionless, as if they all understood that this Netherworld Fire must have come at the person who had just stepped on the wrong foot to touch the Pearl of the Night.
At this moment, a black-faced man close to the stone wall didn't even have time to react by the green light, and the whole person dissipated into the air of the corridor as if the world had evaporated.
"What a domineering flame!" Everyone's faces couldn't help but change, and their hearts trembled.
With this lesson, everyone became cautious, and the night pearl embedded in the stone wall was like a talisman in the eyes of everyone, and no one looked at it anymore.
Under the leadership of Ou Dongping and the guidance of the Heavenly Compass, the group reached the end of the road without danger.
After Li Tiantu followed Yu Xuanyuanyi, he asked in a low voice, "Senior, is this Netherworld Ghost Fire so terrifying?" ”
Out of the Yongdao, Xuanyuan Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "The Netherworld Ghost Fire was born in the extremely cold place underground, whether it is from the Nine Hells as rumored, the old man doesn't know. But you have also seen that ghost fire can burn everything, not to mention people, even a hundred refined steel can be dissolved. If there is not one, but more than a hundred, all of us will be buried in it. ”
Li Tiantu was afraid for a while after hearing this, there was such a foreign object between heaven and earth, if it was really as Xuanyuan Yi said, he was afraid that he would be the first to be turned into flesh and blood without any cultivation.
