Chapter 470: The Death Table
The crowd finally drove out of the thick fog.
In their eyes, an island clearly appeared in front of them.
The lake is said to be a lake, but in fact the water area is so large that it is almost the same as an inland sea. And this island in the middle of the lake, at a glance, has a depth of dozens of miles from east to west, north and south, and a large city can almost be built on it, or even a small country.
It's just that, from the current point of view, this is not suitable for building a city.
Before arriving here, whether it was Ding Qin or Song Renqing, they all had a description of the island in the middle of the lake in their hearts. It should be a place of green grass and flowers and birds, or a place with ruined walls and a sense of mystery of an ancient city.
Because only such a place can be reconciled with the mysterious stone of the dead.
But now, in their eyes, the island in the middle of the lake can only be described in two words: messy.
If you want to add two words, it's a mess.
The beach on the island is not golden, but charred black, and I don't know if the sand is the same color or if something has happened. And when the water washes away, the originally clear water flows back and becomes turbid.
Looking inward from the beach, you can see that there is a lot of jungle, but there is not half of the green. Every tree was charred as charcoal, and when the wind blew, the black leaves flew all over the sky. Under the jungle, there is also a layer of black and gray gray, I don't know if it is the accumulation of leaves, or the black grass.
When the wind blows a little stronger, the black trunks will be blown off, so that in the closer jungle, it is obvious that they are falling in disarray.
Further afar, there is a mountain with snow on the top and a flat-topped mountain that is volcanic. Black smoke is rising from the cave at the top of the mountain, similar to the scene when a volcano erupts. However, there is not the slightest smell of sulfur in the surrounding air, which is very different from a volcanic eruption.
Ding Qin looked at Dong Yi with a little puzzlement, "Have you ever been here before?
Dong Yi was slightly distracted at this time, and only reacted when he heard Ding Qin speak, "How is it possible, how is it possible." The island in the middle of the lake is the most beautiful place in the lake of Zuanxin, the scenery is picturesque all year round, the beach is golden, the green grass is like grass, the forest is luxuriant, the fragrance of wild flowers and wild fruits is pleasant, and the volcano in the middle is only white vapor and no signs of eruption for many years, like a fairyland on earth. Now, how did it become like this......"
"As you might expect, the Stone of the Dead has been destroyed. Let's go up and have a look. Qing'er, you can stay. Ding Qin exhaled slowly, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.
Could it be that he has traveled thousands of miles, walked for so long, and pounced again?
As soon as they stepped onto the island, they could faintly smell the faint smell of burnt paste in the air. These blackness are caused by the high temperatures experienced by the island as a whole. Touching the grass and branches on the ground with your hands is indeed charred.
Judging from the smell and shape, this change has gone through a period of time.
"The enchantment is gone!" Dong Yi was shocked, "The enchantment is gone! It turns out that the enchantment on the island in the middle of the lake is gone!"
Ding Qin smiled bitterly.
He actually thought of this.
The barrier on the island may be used to protect the Dead Stone. It's like a general's pass.
If someone is targeting the Afterlifestone, then the premise may be to destroy the barrier.
And if the enchantment is related to the Five Elements Spirit Tower and the Five Elements Spirit Stone, then why the tower will rise and the spirit stone will be taken away will also have a logical inference.
"Do you know where the Death Stone is?" Ding Qin looked around, and felt nothing but death and decay.
Dong Yi shook his head, "I don't know." But in theory, it should be in the middle. ”
"Right in the middle is the volcano. Ding Qin roughly estimated that the volcano should be several hundred meters high, and the distance from them was also twenty or thirty miles. "Let's go over and see. ”
Along the way, they found nothing special about it. Dong Yi said, "If the enchantment exists, then even the masters of our Five Elements Tribe can only walk two or three miles inward, and then their physical strength will be exhausted. Strange to say, at that time, if you turn outward, there will naturally be a force pushing you away, and it will not hurt. If you insist on turning inward, your body will be in severe pain, and you will even fall into a coma. ”
Ding Qin responded, "The subtlety of various large-scale formations or enchantments is far beyond our imagination. It's just that now that the enchantment has been removed, no matter how powerful it was before, it can only become a legend. ”
Under the volcano, everyone could see that along the junction between the mountain and the ground, there was a circle of white rocks, like a ring. From the rocks upwards, at intervals, there is a stone path about one meter wide, spiraling towards the top of the mountain, and there is a feeling of twisting twist.
This shape is so uniform that it will never be natural. And the circle of white rocks is the only thing that everyone has seen on the island so far that has not turned black.
"Let's go up and have a look. Ding Qin said, already taking a step. Dong Yi was somewhat hesitant, but seeing that none of the people brought by Ding Qin remained, he also made up his mind. However, he let Liang Wu stay at the bottom of the mountain and go up the mountain alone.
These people's cultivation is generally not weak, so there is no need to circle along the road when going up the mountain, they are all straight up and down. In a short time, several people had reached the top of the mountain.
Similar to the base of the mountain, there is also a ring of white stones at the top of the mountain. Standing on the ring, the situation in the cave is clear at a glance.
This is not a volcano, as the caves here are only a few meters deep. The cave is obviously artificially built, the stone is smooth, and the size is uniform.
In the middle of the cave there was an octagonal stone platform that looked like something was broken, and from where black smoke came from.
They looked at each other, and without words of discussion, they jumped into the cave one after another.
The cave is cool and pleasant, and although it is the source of the black mist, there is no peculiar smell. The octagonal stone platform is also made of white stone, but it looks more detailed and transparent than the outside, and it has the feeling of white jade.
The top of the platform has been destroyed, and a hole of about half a meter has been smashed out near the middle, and debris has been splashed around, and some have fallen under the stage. The black mist emanates from this hole.
On the side of the platform, in addition to the dense formation patterns, there are also neat words and relief patterns. Among them, the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest are Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger and Xuanwu Tu, all of which are extremely powerful and vivid. The other four sides are fist-sized characters.
Ding Qin didn't look carefully at the content of the text for the time being. Sweeping his gaze, he found that in the northeast corner, there was a stone tablet.
The stele has been broken in two, but this does not affect the interpretation of the text on it.
Death Table.
Seeing these three words, Ding Qin's heart trembled.
There really is a rebirth stone!
It's just that it's not called the Death Stone, but the Life Stone.
It's a pity that fate is so tricky, and the good death platform was destroyed!
A sour feeling welled up in his heart. Why is it so difficult to recover a memory? Why do all kinds of coincidences make me shoot at night?
Unconsciously, he clenched his fists, and there seemed to be a thousand anger in his chest, but there was no way to vent it.
Cheng Ying stood on the side of the octagonal platform, reading the words while reading them.
"In a person's life, after ups and downs, there are many times when gains and losses are unsatisfactory, the light is depressed, and the heavy is discouraged, and wants to get rid of it with death. But in the world, from parents to all things, they all have the grace of nurturing, so the sages of people are in a desperate situation, and they also yearn for life, which is the death of people. ”
She turned to the other side and recited again, "The living beings in the world are conceived by the five elements, and in the harmony of yin and yang, life and non-birth are mostly fixed numbers. If you are born, you will set the law for the underworld, so there is a sage who said that God has the virtue of a good life. But whenever the survival of all things is hindered, it will show its power to survive, and it is for the death of all things. ”
On the third side, she reads: "Yin and yang grow each other, the five elements are mutually reinforced, the Tao and the demons are mutually reinforcing, life and death are mutually reinforcing, there are both the deceased and the reborn." There is a way in the sky, the secret structure of the Xuanmen is born, the spiritual energy is invaded by the gods, and the world is pure. ”
On the fourth side, there is the following text: "Therefore, the power of the past life will overcome the calamity of life, and it will be a blessing to the good living." There is a deep meaning at the platform of death, and those who have a Turing stone must think twice. ”
After she finished reading, she immediately turned to Ding Qin, "The Death Terrace is not a place to recover the memories of her previous life! That's just a rumor, in fact, there are other uses!"
Ding Qin was in a trance just now, and was shouted by Cheng Ying, so he turned around, "What did you say?"
Cheng Ying said, "The stone of death is not a place to recover memories! See for yourself. ”
After she said this, Ding Qin's heart suddenly felt a little more comfortable. He walked over, gathered around the stone, and read the words. After that, he pinched his chin with one hand and pondered the implications.
Song Renqing probably wanted to comfort Ding Qin, and also came up and said, "Well, from my understanding, it also means yearning for life." Captain, you don't have to be too disappointed. ”
Ding Qin nodded, "Thank you for your concern." Actually, this rebirth platform is not used to recover memories, but it makes me even more worried. ”
Cheng Ying was puzzled, "Why? At most, we made one more trip, wasting some time, and it won't do any harm to your memory recovery." ”
Ding Qin sighed and looked at the black mist at the breach, "No, it's not for me personally, but for the whole world." These words are clearly written, and the Death Stand is designed to trap some kind of spirit stone that threatens life. The reason why there is a strong enchantment on the island in the middle of the lake, and at the same time, the five elements tribes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth respectively guard the key five elements spirit stones to ensure the safety of the enchantment, is to prevent this spirit stone from falling into the hands of the gangsters. But now, it's been taken. ”
Ding Qin gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his cheeks tensed. "Moreover, it was taken away by one or a group of people who have cultivated extremely high and know the secrets of the Death Stage. If they're good people, I'm not worried. But, do you think they're going to be good people?"
