Chapter 49: The City of the Dead
"It's hard to tell which of the eight caves leads to the Land of Annihilation, and which of you would like to give it a try?"
The tall and thin old man from before shook the feather fan lightly in his hand, glanced at the crowd, and spoke again.
Some young people of the demon clan took two steps back in fear after seeing his gaze, at this juncture, everyone knows that if they go in, they will be cannon fodder!
"Huh?" Seeing that no one stepped forward, the tall and thin old man snorted coldly again, and the feather fan in his hand pointed at the eight demon clan youths who were just left, "You all find a door to enter, otherwise you ......"
A trace of cold light appeared in the eyes of the tall and thin old man, and the power on his body suddenly exploded, pressing towards the demon clan youths.
Ye Chen frowned on the side, he could feel that the strength of this thin and tall old man was not much worse than Elvis.
The eight demon youths reluctantly walked towards the caves, and before they stepped into the caves, big characters suddenly flashed.
These eight caves are: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui, which are exactly the content of the eight trigrams.
Eight of them shimmered with gold, and then slowly disappeared after the eight of them entered.
As soon as the eight people entered, a violent energy fluctuation suddenly gushed out from the two caves of Dui and Zhen, and it slowly subsided with two screams for help.
After that, there was also an abnormality in the two caves of Xun and Li, and two violent roars occurred one after another, and even the outside world where Ye Chen and the others were were was affected, and the ground trembled.
Then, after another quarter of an hour, the two caves of Qian and Kan then changed, and the roar of the beast was faintly heard from the cave, drowning out the sound of the demon youth's cry for help.
However, from beginning to end, there was no movement in the two caves of Gen and Kun, and the two demon clan youths who entered did not make any sound.
After a long time, no one came out, and some of the old men of the demon clan next to Ye Chen began to become restless and set their eyes on him collectively.
Damn it! These old immortals want to fight his idea again.
However, at this moment, the three-legged golden crow is not there, and in the face of these dozen demon clan powerhouses, he has no choice.
The general strength of these elders is much higher than that of the Ye family elders, and even if he reverses the exercises, he is not their opponent, so he can only admit it.
He had minored in the I Ching during his college years, and had a slight understanding of Bagua and Qimen Dunjia, in which Gen represented the door of life and Kun represented the door of death.
The remaining two who did not move were Gen and Kun.
It seems that it should be a birth.
Ye Chen deliberately hesitated for a moment, stood in the middle of the gate of life and death, wandered left and right, and finally deliberately gritted his teeth and walked towards the gate of life.
Those old men were all staring at Ye Chen, he was the last test subject of these people.
When Ye Chen walked into the birth gate, he suddenly increased his speed, and after walking for about half an hour, he deliberately let out a miserable roar, and punched out of the hole.
In this way, these old guys must have thought he was dead inside.
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Chen's screams, those old men of the demon clan all showed a treacherous smile and walked towards the door of death with confidence.
Ye Chen ran wildly all the way, and when he was about halfway there, he smelled a faint smell, which he carefully identified as the smell of flowers, elegant and fresh.
This made him very strange, the cave was desolate, how could there be the smell of flowers?
Wrong! There are quirks!
Ye Chen immediately covered his nose and held his breath, there must be something wrong with this fragrance.
Sure enough, not long after he noticed the smell, he conveniently found a corpse with residual warmth in front of him.
It was the young man of the demon clan who had entered here before.
It seems that Shengmen is not very safe!
However, compared to the demon youth who entered other caves, he could be regarded as euthanasia!
Ye Chen tore off the corner of his clothes, opened the kettle he was carrying, and wet the fabric to cover his mouth and nose.
Generally, toxic gases can be melted into liquids, and Ye Chen is also gambling on whether it can be effective.
Fortunately, he was not in any danger along the way, and it seems that this method has worked.
After continuing to walk for an hour, Ye Chen finally walked out of the cave.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, he was suddenly stunned by what he saw.
It's like another world, like a paradise, with blue skies and white clouds, large fields of flowers, and red flowers that don't know what to say, blooming between heaven and earth.
On both sides of the flower field, there are dense peach forests, although it is late autumn in the outside world at this time, but the peach blossoms here are still blooming, although the pink peach blossoms are not as strange as the red flowers, but they are also very charming, and they look refreshing.
In the center of the flower field, there is a pavilion in the style of an ancient building, with bright red pillars and glazed tiles, but it is somewhat dilapidated and damaged, and it looks like it has not been repaired for a long time.
But it's still surprising that a gazebo appeared here for no reason, could it be that there were still people living here before?
Ye Chenrao was curious and began to walk towards the pavilion, but as soon as he walked to the edge of the saffron, he found that the vines of the saffron were moving! Quickly spread under his feet!
Depend on! What is this strange thing?
Ye Chen hurriedly retreated, blasting out a few circles towards the ground, shattering those vines.
Just as he was relieved, a large sea of red flowers began to churn, and it swept towards him like a wave.
The boundless sea of red flowers formed a wall of flowers, and vines stretched out like the arms of a dead man to grab Ye Chen.
it! This flower is simply a sperm!
Ye Chen's head became a little blank, this situation was too terrifying!
No matter how he looked at these flowers, they didn't look like flowers, but more like the dry bones of dead people, waving wildly, those petals were blooming luxuriantly, and the blood was like a wide open mouth, waiting for food to arrive.
Cold sweat broke out on Ye Chen's forehead, and it took a long time for him to remember to run the exercises, and as soon as the Seven Demon Techniques against the Heavens began to operate, a kind of supreme strength and strength suddenly burst out, and the golden light of the Dao Dao shot out like blazing sunlight, rising to the sky.
The positive operation of the Seven Demon Powers against the Heavens is the power of justice, which is awe-inspiring like gods and Buddhas, while the reverse operation is the power of evil, which is as deeply terrifying and chilling as the devil!
Just after Ye Chen started the exercises, those red flowers gradually closed under the golden light, and the speed of those waving vines became slower and slower, and they began to retract into the sea of flowers.
Ye Chen looked at all this in surprise, and then looked at his body, inexplicably excited, could it be that these red flowers are afraid of these golden lights?
The Seven Demon Powers Against the Sky are running in a positive direction to restrain evil things, and these red flowers are demonic things, just suppressed by the golden light.
Ye Chen calmed down his previous tension, and walked over the red flower with a golden light, and came to the pavilion.
Under the golden light, these red flowers are very calm, and there is no longer the slightest restlessness.
When Ye Chen stepped into the pavilion, he felt a desolate and desolate atmosphere, and when he turned around, he found that the red flowers behind him had disappeared, replaced by patches of charred soil, and dry bones were scattered on the soil!
These dry bones one after another, everywhere Ye Chen's eyes can see, are some whitish bones, these bones do not know how long it has passed, some have completely decayed, and the ashes will float with the wind when the wind blows.
Ye Chen was a little frightened in his heart, although he had experienced a lot of life and death, but in the face of so many dry bones, he also unconsciously felt afraid.
How many lives have died in this place!
Ye Chen stared at the dry bones in the distance for a long time, and faintly, he seemed to see a scene of war horses neighing, swords and swords, and rivers of blood, it was difficult to imagine what kind of things had happened here.
Death is life! Life is death!
It's no wonder that this place grows a large sea of lush flowers, which originally grew on these bones.
However, these flowers are also very strange because they grow here.
It seems that there is a reason for this strange phenomenon!
Ye Chen sighed, sighed at the tragedy here, and then turned back.
At this moment, the pavilion he was in had also changed, it was not a gazebo, but a city wall!
Mottled walls, dried blood, broken flags.
There are debris and debris everywhere.
Ye Chen was standing at the gate of the city wall at the moment, and the city gate that should have been there had had already been burned black and fell to the ground.
Directly above the city gate, there was a circular imprint, a round weapon that had been seriously decayed was deeply embedded in the wall, and countless cracks extended from the wall centered on it.
The same is true of other places, where the walls have been bombed and there is not a single place intact.
It seems that this is not a good place, and there must have been a fierce battle in the distant past.
It's just that this is still the place of annihilation that the three-legged golden crow said in his mouth?
All kinds of questions appeared in Ye Chen's heart, and he began to walk towards the city tentatively.
Entering the city gate, it is also a ruin, a large number of rubble fragments are scattered on the ground, and skulls are full of them, perhaps due to the long period of time, but the skulls here are much stronger than those outside, and they are not decayed, and some even appear jade!
The people who died here must have extraordinary strength, and it can be seen from these jade skulls that if they don't have a certain strength, I'm afraid that the skull will have long been rotten into slag, and it will be scattered with the wind as soon as the wind blows!
"Where does this look like there's a treasure?"
The more Ye Chen walked, the more frightened he became, facing so many dry bones, a normal person would have a strong sense of depression.
There is an air of death and desolation everywhere, and there is no hope in sight.
As he walked through the city, four or five figures appeared in his sight.
It's the tall and skinny old men who are they!
I didn't expect them to come out of the door of death!
It's just that they have obviously suffered a lot of injuries, their bodies are covered with wounds, and bright red blood is stained all over their clothes.
Moreover, there were only half of the original dozen elders left, and it seems that the other few should have died in the door of death.
