Text Chapter 34 Dry Demon Kun Corpse Print
Do something for him? Judging from the tone he just said, he shouldn't want to deliberately make things difficult for me because he looks down on me.
How can I, as a newcomer, help him?
"You don't have to be nervous, I'm not going to be as brazen as someone to embarrass juniors. It's just for you to give something to my old friend. The black-robed old man said seriously, "You can quickly take away a talisman." β
If it's just a kind of thing, it shouldn't be a problem. I relieved myself and took the middle scroll with my hand.
The scroll was packed in a cylinder with three large characters printed on itβ"Gathering Evil Seals."
The old man glanced at it and explained, "This is the Gathering Evil Seal, which can quickly improve one's own quality and strengthen one's body by absorbing Yin Qi. It's really useful for your little body. β
Sounds pretty good, it's free, after all, and I didn't expect it to have such an effect.
I took the scroll and looked at it for a while, then put it in my pocket and asked, "What does the old gentleman need the junior to bring?"
The old man stretched out his trembling right hand, and two thin fingers pinched out a bright white sheet from his sleeve, and gently placed it on my hand, "Tell Murong Xie Gang...... The guy is still alive. β
I carefully took the flake and realized that it was actually a snake-like scale, but the lines on it were as delicate as clouds, as if they came from some unknown creature.
"Be sure to do what I say." The old man admonished in a solemn tone.
I carefully put away the scales, "Don't worry, senior. β
The old man nodded slightly, and retracted the remaining scroll into his sleeve.
It seems that Mu Lao and this old man seem to know each other, and they have a good relationship. Mu Lao should have known that he was selling talismans here, and expected that the other party would give him face, so he asked me to be cheeky to buy the scroll when he knew that my trust value was not enough.
"Alright, it's finally my turn." Lin Lingling stepped forward from beside me and picked it up on the platform.
I stood by and was going to wait for her for a while, it was a little inappropriate to leave her go first, and I always felt that she had something to tell me, otherwise she would not have been so kind to me today.
I looked boredly at the tall stone monument in front of me, the carved monsters and the sharp sword piercing its body felt all the more familiar to me......
The sword, in particular, gave me a unique sense of intimacy, as if it were a monster I had ever seen...... As for the scene of the monster assassination, I felt as if I had experienced it myself!
The palm of my hand was lightly covered with the stone tablet, and my body trembled uncontrollably as if I had an epilepsy. In an instant, it was as if a bomb exploded in my head!
"Ah......h
In the purgatory-like land, evil spirits and ghosts feast on human flesh and blood!
A sharp sword pierces the sky and cuts through the darkness!
The fierce battle set off a heat wave several feet high, and the earth trembled!
The corpses struggled to their feet, their blood-red pupils staring at the huge evil bodies flying through the sky!
β¦β¦
I withdrew my right hand like an electric shock, and my head was still a little foggy, and the feeling just now was so real and terrifying!
I stared at this stele with palpitations, what is the name of this thing?!
At this time, I noticed that there was a circular groove under the stele. What's still stuffed inside...... It looks like a dark red scroll - it's a rune scroll!
Why isn't this scroll placed on the platform and hidden in this hidden location?
I stretched out my right hand and gently covered it, wanting to study it. A jade hand grabbed my arm violently.
"What are you doing! This thing can't be touched!" Lin Lingling said nervously.
"O'...... Sorry, I don't know. I shuffled back into my palm.
"Out of the way." The old man said with a smile, "Since there are rules set up above, if there are no distractions in the heart, those who are loyal and responsible to the organization can try it once, and you are the master of the Dark Glass Cup, and you have Murong Xie Gang as a guarantee, you might as well try to take out the bundle of scrolls." β
"But the previous rulers told us that beneath this Evil Fall Monument was a terrifying existence that destroyed the heavens and the earth, and that no one had been able to take out the bundle of scrolls for hundreds of years. Let us not act rashly. Lin Lingling frowned.
"That's right." The old man's fingertips slid between his beards, "But there is no absolute thing to say, the destined person of this scroll may have already appeared, if he never dares to try, the owner of this scroll can only end up with hatred." β
"Okay." Lin Lingling nodded lightly, "We've tried it before, but this scroll seems to grow inside, and we can't get it out of any way." β
Hearing this, I did not feel discouraged in the slightest, but instead developed an inexplicable self-confidence, as if my heart resonated with this stone tablet.
I slowly reached into the groove with my right hand, and a strange sensation flowed through my fingertips like electricity.
Pinch the scroll with your thumb and forefinger and pull hard!
"How?" Lin Lingling asked with wide eyes. The black-robed old man on the side also looked at me with interest.
I stared at the groove with wide eyes...... To my embarrassment, I didn't get to pull the scroll in the slightest. The scroll was sealed in a jade cylinder, as if it had been integrated with the stele.
"Nope." I reluctantly let go of my right hand and said, it seems that this wonderful feeling is just my illusion.
"It's fine." A gloomy look appeared on Lin Lingling's face, and he chuckled, "You don't have to be lost, no one has been able to touch this scroll for a hundred years. β
I realized that something was wrong, and since my university was a mechanical major, I had always been very sensitive to this kind of thing.
The switch on and off the reel must have been a cleverly designed motorized device, and I had already noticed it the first time I pulled it.
For hundreds of years, people have tried to pull this scroll out as best they can, but I know for sure - the outer wall of this thing is connected to the black rock, and it is absolutely impossible to pull it out! Then I might as well do the opposite!
"Can I try again?" I asked.
"Haha, funny little ghost." The old man did not hide his mocking tone at all, "If it weren't for fate, it would be futile to try thousands of times." β
The old man waved his sleeves and said, "Go back, little ghost." Don't forget what I told you. β
Lin Lingling stretched out his hand and gently grabbed the placket of my clothes, "Forget it, each watchman can only try once." I still have something to discuss with you. β
Ignoring their words, driven by great curiosity and inexplicable self-confidence, I put my right hand into the groove.
"Hey! You ignorant little devil!" The old man's tone was marked with obvious displeasure.
The old man seems to be a little angry, and I'll explain it to him later! The palm of my hand covered the cylinder, and I pressed it down hard with my heart.
With a crunch, I was pleasantly surprised to feel the bundle of scrolls completely sunk inside. Sure enough, there is another mystery!
"Hey! Don't touch it! Lin Lingling said anxiously.
I suddenly raised my head, and found that the closed mouth of the evil monster carved in the stone wall was slowly opening!
"Let's go!"
A bundle of dark red cylinders fell in my mouth, and I subconsciously reached out and caught it steadily. If you look closely, it's the scroll!
Immediately, I was secretly surprised by the weight of the scroll, and its storage container was not made of jade, but more like it was made of immersion iron!
"I see...... Lin Lingling was slightly stunned, "The scroll in the groove is just a disguise, but it is actually a switch to get the scroll!"
The rickety body also froze in place, although it was impossible to know the expression under the black robe, but it was also very surprised to think about it.
After a while, the old man coughed lightly and said, "There are two hits, little ghost...... Can you let the old man take a closer look?"
I hesitated a little and handed him the scroll. After all, this is his territory, although I got the scroll, but I know very well that whether this thing can be taken away depends on his face.
There are still many things to ask him to help in the future, and even if he wants this scroll, I can only give it up at this time. You can't tear your face because of a scroll.
"That's right." After looking at it for a moment, the old man's hands trembled slightly, "This is what he left behind......"
Who is he? I looked at the scroll in confusion, and felt that it was not trivial, and judging by its simple and heavy lines, it had been sleeping for countless days and nights.
ββ¦β¦ Either way, now that you've got the scroll, it's yours. The old man said with a regained majestic appearance.
"Thank you, senior." I was overjoyed and took the scroll with both hands. Something that has been painstakingly obtained must be a rare treasure.
But the moment he held the scroll, a fiery energy diffused from his fingertips, and the dust on the cylinder was all dispersed, revealing the font deep on itβthe corpse mark of Qianmokun!
