Chapter 553: Tianyin Temple
Chapter 551: Nine Tails
Maybe he thought that it was impossible for outsiders to break in, and there was no one around the entire Xuanhuo Altar, but it happened to be cheaper than Su Zimo.
Along the dark path, crossing the last corner, the scene in front of him couldn't help but make Su Zimo a little surprised.
In front of him, there was a huge clearing, a hot wind was blowing in his face, and the circular altar stood in the center of the clearing, the bottom was actually hollowed, and thirteen huge stone pillars made of white jade supported the entire altar.
There are twelve pillars on the edge, each of which is as thick as two people hugging, and the largest one in the middle is as thick as five or six people hugging.
Above the altar, all the buildings are made of strange red stone, the steps and the railings.
In the center of the altar is a magnificent and huge hall, in the shape of a pagoda, there are three floors, each high layer, it is about half smaller than the next layer, but each layer is dozens of zhang so high, looking from a distance, this altar is like a huge flame, straight into the sky.
Su Zimo stood under the altar, and couldn't help but feel as small as an ant.
"What a miracle!"
Rao is well-informed with Su Zimo, and at this moment, he can't help but sigh.
He had never seen such a magnificent building, but it was the first time he had seen such a distinctive building.
As the saying goes, it's better to hear than to see, today is confirmed, before I saw it, I'm afraid no one would have imagined that the legendary Xuanhuo Altar was like this!
Xuanhuo altar every turn thirty-six steps, a total of three turns, a total of one hundred and eight steps, the surrounding railing stone wall is plain and unpretentious, there is no carving, especially simple.
As soon as he approached the Xuanhuo Altar, a wave of dry heat came to his face, Su Zimo couldn't help frowning, the temperature here was several times higher, and being in this place was like being in a furnace, he knew that there was not only a strange array here, but also Shangguan Ce, the second master of the Incense Valley, was in charge, so he was naturally extremely vigilant.
As far as the eye can see, there is a tall hall in the center of the Xuanhuo Altar, which is made of red stone of the same material, which is very much like a huge flame that is blazing.
The whole altar did not even have a window, it was all surrounded by huge red stones, except for the lowest floor, there was a wooden door one foot high and six feet wide, which looked a little out of place with the stone wall.
"Squeak."
With the opening of the wooden door, a faint red light shone out, and the surrounding air suddenly became a little higher, looking extremely hot, and if you were an ordinary person, I am afraid that you would have died of dehydration!
At this moment, Su Zimo had already secretly operated his spiritual power, carefully stepped into the altar, and put it in the eyes of outsiders, which was a bit idle.
The whole hall is very wide, up to five zhang, and the walls are all made of red rocks as seen outside, without any carving decoration, simple and unpretentious, but under the background of this huge space, there is an indescribable magnificent majesty, which makes people feel that only this kind of plainness is the real supreme realm of architecture.
And in the center, there is an old man sitting cross-legged, with a thin face, wearing a gray robe, simple and simple, and there is nothing outstanding about it, if you walk on the streets of ordinary towns, I am afraid that no one will recognize this person as a monk.
However, Su Zimo knew that this person was the second master of the Incense Valley, Shangguan Ce.
"What people!"
Maybe it was because he hadn't seen anyone for a long time, but it wasn't until Su Zimo came to the center of the hall, about to get close to the old man's three feet, that Shangguan Ce suddenly opened his eyes, and the essence burst out, like a sharp knife, extremely sharp.
The original ordinary old man exudes an irresistible edge at the moment.
It's a pity that Su Zimo didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him.
"Choke!"
With a sword roar, Xuan Qing's sword light rose into the sky, enveloping Shangguan Ce without giving him a chance to react.
"You dare!"
How did Shangguan Ce think that someone would dare to break into the forbidden land of this Incense Valley, until the sword light came, he reacted, and hurriedly rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding this sword.
After all, he was the No. 2 master of Incense Valley, and when he realized that Su Zimo was not good, Shangguan Ce also quickly made countermeasures.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, several Nine Cold Condensing Ice Spikes glowing with faint blue cold light quickly appeared in mid-air, stabbing towards Su Zimo.
"Zizizi!"
With the crisp sound of freezing, the Nine Cold Condensing Ice Spikes condensed the essence of cold light, with the cold light as the central point, the surroundings actually froze at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, the ice cubes came towards Su Zimo, and the space was almost frozen.
Su Zimo is no stranger to this "Nine Cold Condensing Ice Thorn", as early as more than ten years ago, in the Black Stone Cave, when he resolved the cold poison for the six-tailed demon fox, he had already understood the power of this thing.
Between the lightning and flint, the Immortal Umbrella flew out of Su Zimo's arms, instantly turning into a faint light curtain, blocking this wave of attack.
"Boom!"
The two fought for a moment, but there was a lot of movement, which inevitably attracted the attention of others, and Su Zimo made a decision in an instant.
And the latter is also worthy of being the leader of the older generation, although he has lost the opportunity, but his hundreds of years of cultivation are not false.
In the blink of an eye, a powerful spiritual power erupted from Shangguan Ce's body, and the heavy palm that was enough to shake the heavens and the earth was already like a mountain torrent roaring, meeting this sword.
"Boom!"
In a one-hit confrontation, Shangguan Ce only felt as if he had been hit by a mountain, and it was difficult to resist, and the whole person fell backwards uncontrollably.
Immediately, a sword light appeared, like a streamer of lightning, cutting through his chest, and Shangguan Ce, who was about to vomit blood in his heart, was like being struck by lightning, his throat was sweet, and with a poof, a bloody arrow suddenly spurted out of his mouth.
"You...... Who are you, and what enmity do you have against my Incense Valley? ”
At this moment, Shangguan Ce's face was like gold paper, and the aura around his body was extremely weak, and he no longer had the same strong appearance as before.
However, Su Zimo was not careless, but manipulated the magic weapon and quickly ended him.
Losing Shangguan Ce's control, the Nine Cold Ice Spikes were crumbling, and the power of extreme cold quickly dissipated, and there was no longer any threat, and the "bell" fell to the ground with a bang.
Seeing this, Su Zimo unceremoniously included this object in the divine ring, and then looked at the scenery in the Xuanhuo Altar.
In the center of the main hall, there is a red light source, which is emitting a strange red light, the closer to the center of the main hall, the brighter the red light, looking from a distance, there seems to be a flame burning in the center of the main hall.
And at this moment, I don't know if it's because of Shangguan Ce's death or because of the intrusion of outsiders, this fire is undergoing amazing changes.
Blazing air spilled out from the red flames in the center, and the eight fierce god stone carvings surrounding the flames lit up one after another.
A strange red light filled the entire space, and when the eighth fierce god stone carving was lit up, the desolate roar in the main hall gradually turned into a terrible scream, filling the entire space.
I don't know when it started, but a blazing wind blew in the main hall.
Almost at the same time, there was a loud bang, and all the stone carvings shone brightly.
In just an instant, the red light seemed to have become a tangible thing, rising from the stone carvings of those fierce gods, while maintaining the original appearance of the stone carvings, turning into a plane condensed by red light and rising into the air.
All the fierce-looking fierce gods seemed to have been resurrected at this moment, looking up to the sky and laughing in the huge flame-like blood-red circle of light.
At this moment, the darkness in the hall had long been banished, and all places were illuminated by this dazzling circle of light.
"It's not good, I'm afraid this formation has been touched!"
At this moment, Su Zimo's face is really as ugly as it is. Although he also had the purpose of exploring these Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Arrays on this trip, it didn't mean that he himself was willing to personally try this strange array that was comparable to Qingyunmen's "Zhuxian Sword Array"!
The strange atmosphere in the air became heavier and heavier, and the rapid and sharp sound of the wind seemed to be mixed with the evil ghost's cruel laughter, just like the legendary Nine Demons came to the world.
The red aperture finally rose to the dome, turning faster and faster under the unpretentious stone slabs, and the red light rained down like a rain of blood in hell.
At this moment, the red light rain suddenly stopped, the red light circle stopped rotating, and the next moment above this red light, the huge stone slab was suddenly removed, and it dispersed towards the surroundings with a flame totem, and in the blood-colored red light, two dazzling flames suddenly lit up.
"Roar!"
A low roar came from above, and in an instant the whole hall seemed to tremble, and all the gods roared together!
Immediately, I saw a giant beast rushing down from above, with a huge body with an incredible high temperature, and the whole body was like a burning flame, scorching the heavens and the earth.
"Flame Beast!"
Almost instantly, Su Zimo recognized this giant beast that seemed to be condensed from flames, and took out the Xuanhuo Jian with a blessed heart.
"Roar!"
The Flame Beast looked up at the Xuanhuo Jian surrounded by red light in mid-air, and after a while, it suddenly let out an unwilling roar, and the temperature in the entire hall rose sharply, like a sea of fire!
In mid-air, the ancient flame totem wrapped in the middle of the jade ring slowly lit up at this moment, emitting a red light that shone on the flame beast.
There was almost no resistance, and with a "hiss", the fierce and ferocious flame beast just now was sucked in by the Xuanhuo Jian like a long whale absorbing water, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
And the flame totem with the eight fierce god patterns in the middle of the air, after losing the flame beast, also slowly disappeared.
The entire hall suddenly fell silent.
All the flame light was gone, and the hall was once again shrouded in a faint red light emanating from the volcanic well, only above the head, where the flame beast had appeared, a circular hole leading to the second layer was revealed.
Seeing this, Su Zimo put away the Xuanhuo Jian and stepped into the round hole without hesitation.
In the second layer of the altar, except for the round hole that came up, there was a faint red light, and it was pitch black all around, but in the depths of the darkness, there was also something that emitted a faint light.
Su Zimo walked over there.
It is a stone platform more than half a person high, in the shape of a cylinder, the whole stone is completely different from the surroundings, not only exudes a slight coolness, and even the light emitted is constantly changing, the seven-colored light is constantly changing, sometimes reddish, sometimes light purple, sometimes goose yellow, sometimes green, it is very beautiful.
And on the plane of the stone platform, there is a ring-shaped indentation, and three characters are engraved next to it - Xuanhuo Jian!
"Heh, I'm a little sympathetic to Incense Valley."
Seeing the big characters on this stone platform, Su Zimo smiled dumbly, no wonder the Incense Valley would chase after the Tianhu clan after losing the Xuanhuo Jian, and it could almost be said that they were all killed.
After all, the Xuanhuo Jian is not only related to the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array, but also the key to opening the Xuanhuo Altar.
It can be said that as long as you master the Xuanhuo Jian, all the secrets of the Incense Valley are not enough to become secrets to outsiders!
Thinking of this, Su Zimo couldn't help but shake his head, took out the Xuanhuo Jian, aimed at the dent on the round platform, and gently put it on.
"Click!"
A moment later, a dull sound was heard overhead.
Su Zimo looked up, only to see the stone slab above his head, slowly retreating in a low voice, revealing a stone cave.
Almost at the same time, the temperature around him suddenly dropped unbelievably suddenly, from the original heat to the cold as ice in an instant. With the faint red light, you can even see a trace of cold white gas floating down from the round hole leading to the third floor.
The hottest and coldest breath would exist in this Xuanhuo altar at the same time!
The corners of Su Zimo's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, and he took the Xuanhuo Jian back from the stone platform, put it in his arms, and flew towards the highest layer.
The air around him was getting colder and colder, and the heat from the crater below didn't seem to be able to affect it at all, so that when Su Zimo stepped on the ground of the third layer, what he stepped on was a thick block of ice under his feet.
There was nothing luminous here, but after Su Zimo's eyes slowly adjusted to the surroundings, he found faint pale blue shimmers, gently emitting from all corners.
Suddenly, a low and slightly surprised, soft and desolate woman's voice sounded faintly in the depths of the darkness: "Who are you?" What about that old ghost in Shangguan Ce? ”
"Dead."
Su Zimo responded lightly and continued to walk towards the voice.
But the woman was a little surprised: "You are not a disciple of the Incense Valley, you can actually go up to the third layer of this Xuanhuo Altar, you really have some ability." Is the old ghost of Shangguan dead? But even if he's not there, you'll be able to break through the 'Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array' held by the 'Red Flame Beast'......"
"That's not right!"
Suddenly, the woman's voice suddenly raised sharply, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and there was a hint of excitement in her voice.
"No, no matter how high your Taoism is, except for the old ghost of Shangguan, there are only ...... in the whole world Only Xuanhuo Jian can open the third floor of this altar. You...... Do you have a Xuanhuo Jian on you? ”
At the end of the words, as if reflecting her excited voice, the nearby ice instantly lit up with blue light at the same time.
"Not bad."
Su Zimo nodded, and immediately took out the Xuanhuo Jian from his arms, the ancient flame totem, as if it was slowly burning.
"Don't hide it, it's ...... below"
"Xuanhuo Jian!"
Without waiting for Su Zimo to finish speaking, he only heard a sharp howl, and the woman's voice instantly became high-pitched, mixed with countless pains, surprises, sadness, despair, and a hint of desolation.
"Why, why is Xuanhuo Jian actually on you? What about Little Liu? What about Xiaoliu......"
She screamed as if she had lost her mind.
