Chapter 152: Strange Murals in the Ancient Temple
The giant squid felt the breath of death, and it squirted a jet-black and fishy liquid at Qin Hua very cunningly, staining a large area of the sea in pitch black.
After these black liquids were sprayed into the seawater, huge bubbles appeared on the bottom of the sea, Qin Hua felt a sense of crisis from it, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly flew out of the sea.
Gu Qinqin, who was replenishing his aura on the surface of the sea, saw Qin Hua panting out of breath and asked with concern, "Qin Hua, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, this giant squid is very cunning, and when it saw that it was invincible, it took the opportunity to escape. Qin Hua shook his head and said.
Guqin Qin looked in the direction of the ancient temple through the pale red mist for a while, and said, "Qin Hua, let's get out of here quickly, maybe the people of the ancient temple have already discovered the movement here." ”
Qin Hua nodded, changed a direction with Guqinqin, flew for a long time, and came to a reef that could accommodate two people, and then gathered his breath with Guqinqin, quietly observing the place where they had fought with the giant squid just now.
After a stick of incense, the sea was still as calm as before, and nothing abnormal happened, Qin Hua let out a breath and said, "It seems that the people from the ancient temple have not discovered us. ”
Gu Qinqin pondered for a while, and said suspiciously: "No, the masters of the Ancient Temple are like clouds, it is impossible that such a big movement will not be able to detect us, could it be that they did it on purpose?"
Qin Hua felt that Guqinqin's suspicions were not unreasonable, and he said: "Then let's observe here for a while, and once there is anything abnormal, we will leave immediately and wait for the next opportunity." ”
Gu Qinqin sighed, she was a little unwilling, but in case their whereabouts had been discovered by the Ancient Temple, she and Qin Hua had only one way to leave, although she was looking for her father Gu Yunfei was eager, but she also understood that impulsiveness and recklessness could not solve any problems, but would give her and Qin Hua's lives in vain.
But until it was completely dark, nothing unusual happened to the whole sea, except for the sea breeze that blew with the smell of sea.
Gu Qinqin and Qin Hua let out a big breath at this time, glanced at each other, and then flew cautiously in the direction of the ancient temple.
More than an hour later, Qin Hua and Gu Qinqin came to a relatively large island, and the two of them looked at the dead silence on the island, not even a single figure, not at all like a place where forces were entrenched.
The only difference from other islands is that the reddish mist on the surface of the sea is completely blocked from the outside of the island, while the inside of the island is gray, and occasionally a strange wind blows.
"Qin Hua, is this really the location of the eastern branch of the ancient temple? Why didn't you even see a single figure, and there was no sign of human activity on the island!" Gu Qinqin looked around, and said to Qin Hua's divine sense suspiciously.
Qin Hua took a closer look at the jade slip that the golden crow bird gave him from the space ring, and said, "The place mentioned on this jade slip is here, there is nothing wrong with it." ”
Gu Qinqin thought for a while and said, "Is the position on this jade slip incorrect?"
Qin Hua pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Impossible, there is no need for the Golden Crow Bird seniors to lie to us, we still have to look carefully on the island, maybe we missed some important clues?"
At this time, on the ground not far in front of the two, a hazy light suddenly appeared, and then there was a sound of the stone door being opened, Qin Hua and Gu Qinqin were startled, and immediately hid behind a big rock.
After a short time, two black-robed monks wrapped in black robes came out from the depths of the underground one after the other, Qin Hua saw that these two people were full of aura and did not show their aura, at most they were the seventh layer of Jindan, he immediately released his divine sense to check, and found that these two people were indeed the seventh layer of Jindan.
"Did you say that our branch hall did anything to the sects that fought against us on the Taixia Continent tonight, why did many Dharma protectors just go out?" said the black-robed man who walked behind said to the black-robed man in front.
The black-robed man in front hurriedly stopped the black-robed man behind him from questioning, as if he was frightened, he immediately looked into the passage behind him, and then scolded the black-robed man behind him: "Don't you want to die? Don't you know the rules of our ancient temple? Once those Dharma protectors or captains hear it, neither of us will survive." ”
The black-robed man in the back looked a little panicked after hearing this, and when he looked back, he didn't say anything, and turned his head towards Qin Hua and them.
Qin Hua nodded at Guqinqin, and when the two black-robed people had just approached more than ten meters from them, they suddenly launched an attack on the two.
I saw that the two black-robed men had just seen two black shadows flashing towards them, and before they could understand what was going on, the two heads with half of the black robes rolled to the ground.
Guqinqin was about to use the Aoki sword to open the black robe on a person's head, but Qin Hua hurriedly stopped her.
"Senior sister, don't, have you forgotten the black-robed old man we met in the mortal realm? He was also killed by us, and when he was about to look at his face, he was suddenly turned into black ash by a strange black mist. ”
Guqin Qin waved his hand, then pointed to another human head and transmitted to Qin Hua's divine sense: "Look at that human head, his appearance has been revealed, which shows that they are the same as those minions of the Ancient God Temple that we killed in the mortal realm, and they don't have that weird black mist on their bodies at all. ”
Qin Hua looked at the other head, and sure enough, it was the same as Guqin Qin said, but this head was not much different from an ordinary monk.
After the black robe on the head of the other person was opened by Guqin Qin with a green wood sword, it was the same as Qin Hua guessed, there was nothing abnormal.
Qin Hua was afraid of causing any movement, so he directly put the two corpses into the space ring, and then protected the guqin behind him, and cautiously walked towards the passage.
There are torches at intervals in the passage, and the walls around the passage are also made of unknown stones, although they appear primitive, but the walls are still very smooth and smooth.
Qin Hua looked at these torches on the wall with some curiosity, he didn't think that the people of the Ancient Temple would often replace these torches, unless the torches could keep burning like this for a long time.
Gu Qinqin was also curious about some torches, but she understood after looking at them, and said to Qin Hua's divine sense: "The fuel on this torch is made from the grease of the giant squid we encountered in the Red Sea during the day. It is rumored that the fat of the giant squid can burn for a long time, and it is not a problem to burn continuously for a hundred years, and these oils will emit a smell when burning, which can help to enhance the soul and heal the injuries on the soul. ”
Hearing this, Qin Hua finally understood why they had encountered a five-grade demon beast giant squid in the Red Sea, it was very likely that some powerful cultivators of the Ancient Temple had specially driven it from the desolation, or they had a way to cultivate giant squid.
After Qin Hua and Guqinqin walked for a while, a stone gate appeared, and on both sides of the stone gate there were two strange-shaped stone statues, one of which had eight limbs like a centipede. There is also a stone statue with only one leg, but it has four arms, which are on the left and right shoulders, and on the front and back of the chest, while the heads of the two stone statues are not much different from those of humans, except that the mouth and ears are slightly larger.
Qin Hua and Gu Qinqin looked at these two stone statues and felt that they were very strange, but after looking closely, Qin Hua and the two felt that the limbs of the stone statues were very harmonious, as if these two strange creatures were real existence.
When Qin Hua and Guqinqin were still about to take a closer look at these two stone statues, the stone gate was suddenly opened, and two black-robed people appeared behind the stone gate.
The two black-robed people were shocked, but Qin Hua and Guqinqin didn't wait for the two to react, they took out the Immortal Sword and the Aoki Sword and stabbed them into their hearts.
Qin Hua exhaled a sigh of false alarm, and then said to Guqinqin's divine sense: "Senior sister, let's go swaggering like this, it's easy to expose our identities, why don't we take off their black robes and put them on!"
Gu Qinqin felt that Qin Hua's proposal was very good, so he picked the black robe with the Aoki sword, and found that the two corpses were the same as the outside, and there was no abnormality, so he quickly took off the black robe, and then put it on his body.
After putting on the black robe, Qin Hua found that his divine sense could not see the true face of the Guqin Qin through the black robe at all, and the two of them were overjoyed, and they no longer had to be so afraid of the people of the ancient temple to recognize it at a glance.
After walking through the stone gate, there were still many identical torches on both sides of the stone wall, Qin Hua took a deep breath of the faint fragrance emitted by the burning of the torches, and his consciousness suddenly cleared up a lot, he nodded at the guqinqin, and then continued to walk forward cautiously.
The stone wall behind the door is not made of large stones, but rather a passage carved out of a whole boulder. On the walls on both sides of the passage, a very realistic mural is carved at intervals.
But everything on these murals is very strange, there are giants with only one eye, there are people with only one arm on their chest, and there are people with two or three heads, anyway, all the things on the murals are only something they can't think of, nothing they can't see.
Qin Hua and Guqinqin looked at several murals in a row, and they found that all the things on the murals had several common features, one was that their heads and faces looked like human monks.
The second is that no matter how many feet or hands they have, they are not much different from human hands and feet.
The third and most important point is that no matter how strange these things are, Qin Hua and Guqinqin don't feel any unnaturalness, as if everything on these murals really exists in the world.
Qin Hua and Gu Qinqin were both shocked by their feelings, they felt that there was a big secret hidden in these murals, so they took down a blank jade slip and rubbed all the murals on the ancient temple.
