Chapter 214: Stone Statues

After ending the conversation with the Confucian sage, Zhou Lingwu felt shocked and sympathetic and sad for the sage's experience at the same time, but since the matter has become a thing of the past, too much sighing and sadness can only make people stagnate, and it is precisely because of this that Zhou Lingwu, together with the Confucian sage, the origin of the real lantern man, has a better life in this world.

After bowing respectfully to the stone statue of Sage Kong, it will no longer stay in the lamp mound, and there will be no problem with its soul, after all, this is not a world in the yang world, so staying in this kind of place for too long will only be harmful, and there will be no benefit.

So he turned and walked towards the bright white portal behind him. Zhou Lingwu watched the bright white ripples on the portal deepen little by little, Zhou Lingwu knew that the Seven Heroes might not be able to hold on, after all, his physical body had just improved, and today he had experienced such a big change, and it was already extraordinary to be able to maintain the portal for such a long time, I am afraid that the Seven Heroes have reached the limit now, and if he doesn't speed up, he will be left in this lamp mound.

However, what is feared comes it, as it is now. Zhou Lingwu hurriedly walked towards the Yunong Gate, but just as he was about to arrive, the portal closed.

The one-person-tall bright white portal quickly contracted, condensed into a bright white point of light, and finally disappeared. With the disappearance of the portal, the lamp mound also quickly dimmed, and among the stone statues stacked with the corpses of the lantern people around him, Zhou Lingwu felt that everything around him was so weird.

Dengzuka himself is no stranger, after all, before receiving the task, Zhou Lingwu lived in Dengzuka for more than a year. It is not unaware that there is a place in the lamp mound where the remains of the lantern bearers of the past generations are stored, but this is the first time that such a close contact has been made today.

Zhou Lingwu shuttled among these hundreds of stone statues, carefully looking at each generation of lantern people, under his careful observation, Zhou Lingwu found that these hundreds of stone statues of lantern people, they have different shapes, different expressions, and different pairs of clothes. When Zhou Lingwu looked at these stone statues, he actually had a sense of déjà vu in his heart as he visited the History Museum. After all, from ancient times to modern times, everyone's clothes are different.

Just when Zhou Lingwu lamented the many predecessors of the lantern bearers, he suddenly realized, could this be a little too much? The term of office of each generation of lantern bearers is four hundred years, but so far, it has only been two thousand five hundred years, and in these times, there will be a maximum of six generations of lantern bearers, but why are there so many people here now? He counted carefully, and the stone statues carrying the lanterns were as high as three hundred and seventy-five. That is to say, counting his own generation, there were 378 generations of lantern bearers, when did the extra 372 lantern bearers appear, could it be that there was some large-scale massacre of lantern bearers?

The more Zhou Lingwu thought about it, the more doubts he felt in his heart, but it was impossible for Guang to trace the answer to the question by himself, although the secrets recorded in the lantern were as many as stars, involving all aspects of various industries in the world, and incorporating fresh knowledge with the times, but the only thing missing was the personal information of these three hundred and seventy-two generations of lantern bearers.

In order to find out the truth of the matter, after careful observation for a long time, he decided to go to the dwellings of each generation of lantern bearers to investigate carefully.

He first visited the house where the Confucian sage lived, however, what stunned him was that when he arrived at his destination, what appeared in front of him was actually a stone statue of a house, the door was sealed with stones, no matter what Zhou Lingwu used to knock on it, there was no response, and even the lantern carved by the lantern man from the fertile reef at the bottom of the South China Sea, the hardest stone in the world, was indifferent, not to mention that there were cracks, not even a little white scratch left.

After trying all the methods, Zhou Lingwu finally decided to give up the inspection of the house where the Confucian sage lived, and instead went to someone else's residence.

However, after he had looked at many of the dwellings of the people, he found that the dwellings of each generation of lantern bearers had become exactly the same as the houses of the Confucian saints, and they had all become hard stones, which could not be knocked at all.

At this moment, Zhou Lingwu really felt that he was exhausted, and he had tried all the methods he could think of, but the cruel truth was in front of Zhou Lingwu.

I'm afraid the officials are going to ask, isn't Zhou Lingwu worried after the portal is closed?

This question is actually very simple, think about it carefully, Ying Zheng and his gang have already left here through the portal, and there are hidden Praruo and Zhan Lu guarding here, not to mention that there is a real predecessor - the old tree demon "Tianshan Tong Ma" is in charge, and there is an old ghost Xuanwu who has gone to the supernatural power without force but is majestic, there are these people who guard the seven heroes of Hongshan and the mortal Yang Zhongshan, what is there to worry about?

It was precisely when Zhou Lingwu thought of this that he would let go of his hands and feet, and he didn't take them to heart at all.

……

However, just when Zhou Lingwu failed to get out before the portal closed and was left in the lamp mound, the other side of the portal at the same time ......

"No more! I can't hold it anymore! The Seven Heroes said with a difficult face, and when he finished saying this, the one-person-high portal disappeared in an instant, and Zhou Lingwu was left in the dark and lightless lamp mound.

Seeing this, Pranya hurriedly stepped forward to block the closure of the portal, but the old turtle Xuanwu who was standing on the side blocked his way, and then shook his head and said, "I know you are in a hurry, but what you are doing now is tantamount to a moth to a fire." ”

"I don't care, Zhou Lingwu is going to be left over there, and his body will rot into meat puree after an hour!" Prajna said anxiously.

But no matter what she said, the old turtle Xuanwu would not give way, and Xuanwu was like a wall in front of Panruo, making Panruo helpless.

"You just listen to him, the degree of compatibility between your body and soul is not like them obtained through reincarnation, but by forcibly devouring the soul of the body master in the later stage, therefore, you can't enter all the non-yang world, once you enter, your body and soul will be separated in an instant, and it will be difficult to merge together, do you think you have a new and suitable body for you to squander, or do you think that the Ten Palaces Yama will let you get a body through the reincarnation pool?" The old tree demon "Tianshan Tongma", who had not spoken, opened his mouth to speak, and the old turtle Xuanwu still looked smiling when he heard this guy's words, as if the sky was falling, he would not panic.

Pranya hesitated for a moment, but soon she made up her mind again, and still struggled towards the rapidly closing portal.

"Xuanwu senior, let me go, it's going to be closed soon!" Prajna said. The old tree demon "Tianshan Tong" looked at the anxiety on Praruo's face, sighed helplessly and said: "Don't worry, now he is the safest in the lamp mound, otherwise the seven heroes will not leave Zhou Lingwu alone." ”

"Huh? This...... What does that mean? Listening to what the old dryad said, the anxious Prajna couldn't help but say in confusion.

At this time, the seven heroes, who were sick in bed and had not spoken, said in an extremely weak voice: "Qin Wang Yingzheng is humiliated and cannot leave easily, besides, the previous predecessors have beaten Shi Le's younger brother Shi Hu into a thin piece of paper, these two guys will definitely not give up, at least, Shi Le will not give up, I am afraid that it will not be long before there will be a fierce battle here, so the tree demon senior said that the young master is the safest in the lamp mound now."

"As for the decay of the body, you don't have to worry, the young master has a lantern, and the lantern is blessed by the power of the Venerable, if you want the young master's body to rot, it will take at least a hundred years." In order to dispel Prajna's worries, the Seven Heroes added.

When Pranya heard this, he wanted to continue to ask something, but contrary to his wishes, the Seven Heroes had already fallen into a complete coma after saying this. It seems that Fang Cai's words have exhausted the strength of the Seven Heroes.

"...... is he," Prajna asked, looking at the unconscious Qixiong Elder.

The old tree demon "Tianshan Tong Ma" did not speak when he heard this, and the old turtle Xuanwu who stopped in front of him looked at the seven male elders who had passed out in a coma, and then said: "It's nothing serious, there will be no danger to life, so this is the body has just woken up, and the seven male elders will open the door recklessly, plus facing Qin Wang Yingzheng, his former partner, his body can't bear it, and he can be fine after a while." ”

Hearing this, Praruo nodded, since the Seven Heroes are fine, then don't worry, the Seven Heroes are fine, they can still open the door, and Zhou Lingwu will be able to come back.

Prajna thought so in his heart.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a huge explosion sound resounded at the door of the villa, and the owner of the room, the old tree demon "Tianshan Tongma", immediately looked at the sound after hearing the sound, and after waiting for a while, he opened his eyes again and said, "Sure enough, Shi Le is back!"
