It was late at night, and there were only a few guards outside, but because of this terrible scream, they were so frightened that they hid in the corner and did not dare to move.
Ye Chen walked out of the door, his mind was concentrated, and he wanted to distinguish the location of the cry, but the cry was really weird, as if it came from all directions, and it was impossible to distinguish.
Just when Ye Chen was surprised, from in front of him, another figure suddenly flashed, still the rickety body, flashed in front of Ye Chen, and then went into the distance.
When Ye Chen saw the figure appear, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, and he hurriedly followed.
This black shadow passed through several halls and disappeared in the place of Kunning Palace.
Kunning Palace is a royal library, and it is rarely visited here, let alone late at night.
Ye Chen circled around Kunning Palace a few times, but found no trace of the black shadow, which made him even more puzzled.
Who is this dark shadow? Why did you come to the study?
For a while, Ye Chen couldn't think of it, and at this moment, he saw that the door of Kunning Palace was hidden, so he walked in curiously.
Since the black shadow is not outside, it must have entered the library!
Relying on his own cultivation to be strong, Ye Chen was not afraid, and after entering the Kunning Palace, he opened a fire fold and illuminated the way forward.
But when he had just stepped on the threshold of Kunning Palace, a cold wind suddenly came from inside the house, almost blowing out his fire.
Ye Chen used his true qi to protect the fire fold from suddenly extinguishing, causing the house to be pitch black.
Kunning Palace is not small, there are many bookshelves in it, Ye Chen searched for one bookshelf after another, but he didn't find anything, which made his doubts even heavier.
Just when he hesitated, the door of Kunning Palace was suddenly blown open by a gust of wind, and it slammed against the wall with a bang, Ye Chen was instantly startled, staring nervously at the door.
At this moment, a figure faintly walked out of the doorway.
With the help of the faint light of the fire fold, Ye Chen vaguely saw an old man with gray hair and a rickety body walking in.
"Ahem!"
As soon as the old man appeared, he coughed lightly twice.
However, it was these two light coughs that made Ye Chen can't help but be vigilant.
In these two light coughs, there was a sonic attack, which almost extinguished the fire in Ye Chen's hand.
"Who's coming? I don't know what the younger generation is doing here? ”
Ye Chen stared vigilantly at the old man in front of him, from his body, Ye Chen felt a powerful might, although he was restrained by the old man, but it still gave people a feeling of extreme danger.
"Young man, don't be afraid!"
The old man grinned, and the skin on his face wrinkled like withered bark, and one could not help but feel a little afraid.
With that, the old man stretched out his thin fingers, and a ball of fire rushed out of his fingertips towards the oil lamp in the room.
"Poof!"
After only a few soft sounds, the room suddenly brightened, and the old man appeared in front of Ye Chen more clearly.
Under the reflection of the light, the old man's face was a little green, and his body was shriveled, his skin was wrinkled, and there was a heavy twilight on his body, which looked like a dead corpse.
If he hadn't started to speak, Ye Chen would have really regarded him as a ghost who deceived the corpse!
"I am the emperor of the dynasty, and I am also the emperor, I will not harm you!"
The old man said with a smile, and walked towards Ye Chen after speaking.
Seeing the old man coming, Ye Chen couldn't help but take two steps back, the old man's appearance was really scary, and Ye Chen still had resistance in his subconscious.
"The reason why I brought you in today is because I feel a familiar aura from you, like a dead corpse in this ruin, old man, I have always wanted to solve this mystery, and your appearance today completely gives me hope."
Emperor Taishang said with a smile, walked in front of Ye Chen, and walked towards the back of the study.
"The imperial city of Tang Yu was built in an ancient ruin, this ruin is in the underground, and it is still preserved, but although this ruin contains a strong breath of death, it is a treasure of feng shui, which can suppress the evil things here, so I dare to choose the imperial city of Tang Yu here, since the founding of the country for thousands of years, there has been no movement here, but it has been different recently......"
Emperor Taishang pushed open a bookshelf, and an entrance to a hole appeared in front of Ye Chen.
It was pitch black in the depths of the cave, and when the cave was opened, a cold wind blew in his face, making Ye Chen shiver.
"This is the entrance to the ancient ruins, in order to ensure respect for the remains of the ancient battlefield, our Tang Yu Kingdom was established without destroying this ruin, so this ruin can remain intact, you come with me!"
The Emperor Taishang took the lead in walking in, Ye Chen followed closely, and after entering the cave, Ye Chen actually heard a roar that became clearer and clearer.
"Are all these roars coming from underground? No wonder it's so hard to find! ”
Ye Chen sighed, the problem that had been bothering him was finally solved.
"Yes! This cry came from the ruins, and the person who made the cry is very similar to your breath, and I just happened to meet you today, so I must be able to solve the mystery of this person's life! ”
The Emperor slowed down, holding a flame in his hand, illuminating the path ahead.
When he saw this situation, Ye Chen couldn't help but be shocked, he was able to release flames and keep burning, it seemed that the strength of the Emperor Taishang was really true, at least like this kind of behavior, he couldn't last long.
Because the burning flame consumes his true qi very much, I'm afraid that he won't be able to walk a hundred steps, and his true qi will be exhausted!
Sixth-order powerhouses can communicate with the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and they have a steady stream of true qi available, and only they dare to do something extravagant like burning flames!
After entering the underground, Ye Chen was shocked again, this ruin area was even larger than the imperial palace, stretching continuously, just from the outside, no one would have thought that there would be such a kind of ancient ruin battlefield with a strong yin aura under the brilliant and majestic palace!
There are many rotten bones on this battlefield, and you can still hear the sound of clucking and shattering when you step on them.
After that, as the wind blew, the bone meal flew up with the wind, scattering it everywhere.
Following Emperor Taishang, Ye Chen gradually walked into the belly of the ruins, where there was an ancient boundary monument, on which were written the words "Nine Shadows Ancient Road".
"Nine Ancient Paths?"
Ye Chen couldn't help frowning, if this is the Nine Shadows Ancient Road, then this place should be as the name suggests, it is an extremely yin place!
Then the imperial city of Tang Yu Kingdom is built above here, will it ruin the luck of the royal family?
Ye Chen looked at the Emperor Taishang suspiciously, the strange thing was that the Emperor Taishang's face did not fluctuate in the slightest after seeing this, and it seemed that he had already seen it.
"In ancient times, this was supposed to be a passage to somewhere, but due to the passage of time, this passage should have been closed."
Walking through the boundary monument, there is a stone step in front, on both sides of the stone steps, there are many dead corpses, these dead corpses are obviously a little stronger than the ones below, the bones are still preserved, and some even have some clothes on top of the bones.
Walking up the stone steps, the two walked across a dry river to the depths of the ruins.
What appeared in front of Ye Chen and the others was a high platform, on which there was a person standing, like a sculpture, his eyes staring at the front, around this person, there were many jade bones, and in the heads of some bones, there were even some bright soul fires flickering.
As Ye Chen and the two approached, Ye Chen actually felt a familiar aura, which seemed to emanate from the person on the high platform, giving Ye Chen a kind of intimate feeling.
This feeling is like a wanderer returning home, always feeling that there is some connection between them, whether there is really any connection.
"It's him! The screams in the palace are also made by him, and for a while now, the old man and I have been inquiring, and it was only in the last few days that I found out that it was him, but he was in a state of death, how could he make a sound? Could it be that the corpses and bones preached the Tao and produced spiritual wisdom and cultivation? ”
The Emperor Taishang also seemed to have a lot of questions, said to himself, and walked to the dead body after speaking.
When he walked towards the dead body, Ye Chen's heart suddenly became dull, as if he was pressed by something on his heart, which was very uncomfortable.
And the closer he got to the dead body, the stronger the feeling.
What does this dead corpse really have to do with him?
Ye Chen was very curious in his heart, and this feeling aroused the doubts in his heart even more, and he walked quickly towards the dead body.
When he walked in front of the dead body, Ye Chen saw the appearance of the dead body clearly, although it had been countless years, there was no trace of decay in this corpse, and the body of this dead body was still intact, as if the living were sleeping, the skin and flesh were intact, but there was a blood-red hole in his heart, as if he had been caught.
In the blood-red hole, there are still remnants of his heart and lungs, beating little by little.
"He's not dead?"
When Ye Chen saw that his heart was beating, he couldn't help but exclaim and asked the Emperor Taishang.
"...... of the Living Dead"
Emperor Taishang replied to Ye Chen lightly and stood next to the dead body.
The living dead, although they still have the breath of life, are always in a state of death, and according to common sense, they should be considered dead, because the living dead will not wake up under normal circumstances.
"After 10,000 years, the bones are immortal, the heartbeat is still there, it's hard to imagine how strong this person should have been back then! I don't know what happened to him, and someone as powerful as him would have died......"
The Emperor Taishang patted the dead body with his hand and said with a sigh.
Just as he was withdrawing, Ye Chen saw that the body of the dead corpse suddenly trembled slightly, and a powerful power burst out from him, which frightened Ye Chen and immediately took a few steps back.
But this power still hit him, causing his blood to surge for a while.
"After dying for thousands of years, you still have attack power?"
Ye Chen held back the pain and asked in surprise, this person is so strong, does he really have some connection with him?
As the corpse burst out with a majestic force, the cloak on his body was shattered and scattered into the air......
When the cloak was shattered, a spear appeared behind the man, although it was separated by the cloak, but due to the passage of time, the spear was still covered in dust, and the body of the spear was slightly dim.
"The Killing Spear?"
The Emperor Taishang took the lead in leaning over, picked up the spear, and read the words on the barrel of the spear.
