Chapter 344: Déjà vu

On that day, clouds of fire obscured the entire sky.

It's just that it's not a magnificent and moving natural beauty at dusk, under the dazzling fire clouds, there is a wizard holding a magic weapon, constantly urging the figure of mana in the body...

Behind him, there are countless pairs of frightened and helpless eyes, just because they don't know what their fate will be.

In the face of the merciless sky, human beings seem to be so small and incompetent forever, they can only hope to be protected by a few strong people, and survive in this world, and there is nothing else to rely on.

It's just that heroes will always grow old, and legends will eventually disappear. What about even the great wizard who claims to have inherited all the witchcraft? The old man with an old face, even powerless, can no longer fight against the calamity that seems to be heavenly...

Rumble!!

A dull thunder rang out out of thin air.

At the other end of the sky, louder redder and more terrifying voices were coming! The astonishing heat and heat seemed to burn a qiē, even if it was a flame of the same origin itself. In just the blink of an eye, a gap appeared in the Great Fire Cloud Array laid by the Great Wizard, and soon, following the flaw that seemed insignificant at the beginning, the entire sky quickly became someone else's home field!

The old man standing in front of his people held a bone staff in his hand, like a madman, and danced with all his might, praying for the blessing of the ancient sages—blood spilled from his mouth, tears soaked his old eyes... But this qiē cannot make up for the absolute gap in strength. At this moment, the Great Wizard was actually just like those ordinary people behind him, just ants who were barely able to survive with their meager prayers.

"Hmph, the light of the candles. Shine too? ”

In the clouds, another deeper voice suddenly came, and those sudden flowing fires suddenly strengthened their offensive, and the boundless fire energy converged towards the sky, and then with the first shout, it finally turned into burning meteors. Since the sky descended, frantically washing the already devastated Miaojiang land, crying and mourning have once again become the main theme here, but this qiē standing in the clouds, as if the power of the gods, is so inconsequential - in the desperate sorrow of the great wizard, he continues to urge the boundless power of the magic technique, and continues to urge the pace of destruction and killing, as if not to completely ignite this land. It can't get rid of the hatred in his heart!

yes, how ridiculous that is.

Because there is no enmity between them in the first place, and the reason why they do this is only because of their greed for foreign treasures and power!

Just to get that thing, this monk who claimed to be a famous monk in the Central Plains attacked their village again and again! Just burn down their homes day after day! Coerced them with countless lives and countless killings, this qiē one qiē. It's all just to get that magical and terrifying treasure...

…

Just thinking about it, the anger in my heart is about to ignite the boy who fell by the ruins!

Cheeks swept by the firelight. Now it was a dark patch, and the wound on the forehead was gushing blood. But in the eyes of that young man, he could only see the anger of revenge!

He didn't say a word the whole time... Like the only faith of the Guardian himself, who is extremely resolute and stupid, like a rock, he tries to avoid the calamity that falls from the heavens, step by step. Fleeing to the mountains and forests farther away, sweat and blood gradually soaked his qiē, but for him, this qiē seemed to be unheard.

Finally, he gradually left behind the voices of ruin and wailing. The only thing that reminded him of the meaning of zài was the strange and warm jade piece in his arms, which looked like a bronze mirror.

… Xuanhuojian!

—————————————————————————————————————

In the night, an ethereal white shadow reappeared outside the Incense Valley.

This time, Liuying's gaze had a more determined and cautious light.

After a period of investigation, it was enough for him to understand the general structure and layout of the Incense Valley, and more importantly, the news he got by chance from Zhou Zhou Xian... Recently, the people of the Middle Gate of Incense Valley have traveled the world, as if they are quite concerned about the art of reshaping the physical body, and even do not hesitate to take huge risks for this thaumaturgy. This strange behavior may be completely incomprehensible to others, but it has a completely different meaning in the eyes of Liuying.

Reinventing the flesh?

This kind of method, even if ordinary people understand it, is simply a chicken rib... Without the protection of the body, the soul could not survive for a long time, or, one step ahead, it had been transformed into a resentful spirit and a yin spirit that had no reason and only knew how to devour flesh and blood. Therefore, even if the body can be reshaped, it is absolutely impossible to complete the so-called "resurrection". It's just a blood-eating monster recreated for this world.

However, there are always exceptions.

Even if the body of a cultivator who is extremely advanced is worn out, the spiritual soul can still exist between heaven and earth, but this kind of existence usually needs to be attached to other things, or famous swords, or magic weapons, and will not exist out of thin air, or it will be isolated in a relatively limited space law realm, because only in this way can the soul be preserved and the soul will not be scattered.

…

It's just that in the cognition of Liuying, there is another kind of existence.

Even if their bodies are worn out and their bones are gone, they can still swim between heaven and earth without restraint just by relying on their spirit bodies, and even after death, they can still use all kinds of wonderful means, and their power is far beyond that of ordinary monks. And to say why this is, it is natural to involve the reason for their appearance.

Quite simply, because by their very nature, they are never complete beings.

Even if it is in vain, it is only the product of imitation and magic tricks, so no matter how severely he is injured, as long as he fails to destroy any of the small fragments left in this world, he cannot be regarded as having destroyed this demon. The being, which evolved directly from the evil qi between heaven and earth, will slowly regain its form in the darkness until it returns to the presence of everyone again!

… Yes, Flowing Shadow frowned, and then resolutely broke into the Incense Valley again!

—————————————————————————————————————

Baguio smiled and nodded. Stepping into the water again, through the water curtain, and into the hole, Zhang Xiaofan hesitated for a moment, and finally followed-the two of them finally opened the stone path to the dripping blood cave with great effort, after all, if they stayed here. It's just a mortal situation, and the only hope is to move on.

It was a deep tunnel, and there was noticeably less light on the stone walls on the side than on the outer passage, and although you could barely see the road, it was very dim.

Zhang Xiaofan and Baguio were very careful, after all, this was the first time in eight hundred years that someone had come here, and no one knew if those old monsters and old guys in the Blood Refining Hall would leave some particularly powerful prohibitions.

However, along the way, it was too peaceful, and there were no accidents. It's just that this passage is quite tortuous, deep and long, and slowly upward, Zhang Xiaofan is rough in his heart, but he is afraid that he and Baguio have reached the center of this mountain at this moment.

He was thinking about it, and Baguio, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "It's here." ”

Zhang Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat and he looked forward. At the end of the tunnel ahead, a bright light shone through. There was a large stone chamber faintly visible. The two glanced at each other, and Baguio took the lead and walked there.

As they got closer, the two of them saw the stone chamber clearly, the whole stone chamber was in a circular shape, and the tunnel was in the middle of the stone chamber. And on the opposite side of it, there is actually a passage extending inward, it seems that this is not the only end - in a trance, Zhang Xiaofan seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly froze in place. But soon, his eyes were attracted by the huge existence in front of him.

On the left side of the stone room, there are two huge stone statues, one is kind and smiling, and the clothes are carved like the wind blowing, but it is a bit like the Guanyin Bodhisattva of Buddhism.

The other one is completely different, hideous and vicious, with black faces and ghost horns, eight hands and four heads, and even a trace of blood is engraved on the side of the mouth, which makes people shudder.

In addition, in front of these two statues, there is a stone table, an incense burner on it, and several packets of incense candles are placed next to it, all of which are dusty, and it is estimated that there has never been incense in the past 800 years.

As for the other end of the stone chamber, there were only a few futons, thrown haphazardly on the ground, and nothing else.

Zhang Xiaofan saw it in his eyes, and was surprised, but saw Baguio with a solemn expression, walked forward and picked up a futon, shook off the dust and put it in front of the statue stone table, then picked up the incense candle on the table, lit it with the flint in his arms, inserted it into the incense burner, and walked back to the futon, kneeling down with a solemn face.

In the stone room, but seeing the light smoke slowly floating, she fell to the ground.

Zhang Xiaofan stood behind her and heard her voice echoing in this stone room.

"Our Lady of Youming, the King of Heavenly Evil, and the forty-third generation disciple of the Holy Sect, Baguio, sincerely pay respects. The Holy Religion has suffered from misfortune and has been declining for a long time, and countless members of the Church have been working hard to revitalize the Holy Religion. May Our Lady and King Ming have mercy on the people, grant me blessings, revive the Holy Religion, transform all sentient beings, and ascend to the realm of eternal life and immortal bliss together! ”

Zhang Xiaofan thought about it for a while, and then he understood, these two gods were only afraid that they were the evil gods worshiped by the people in the Demon Sect, so he couldn't help but sneer, turned his head, and didn't take another look.

I saw Baguio solemnly and kowtow three times with a reverent face, then he stood up and glanced at Zhang Xiaofan, only to see him looking elsewhere, standing there motionless, frowning, but he didn't say anything, and said lightly: "Let's go!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan originally walked in with her, in the tunnel, he had a good feeling for this woman in his heart, but when he saw these two evil gods at this moment, he remembered the difference between sects and the teachings of his teacher since he was a child, and his expression naturally turned cold, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay." ”

Baguio glanced at him, and walked deeper in, Zhang Xiaofan followed behind her, this time he didn't go far, and entered a spacious place again. But here is not like the stone room outside the decoration, but a stalactite upside down hanging strange stone abrupt cave, the cave all kinds of stalactites are strange, the color is also colorful, and in front of the two, there is a large monument at the entrance of the cave, on which the dragon and the phoenix dance are engraved with ten big characters: Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs!

These ten big characters, each word is almost half a person's size, the penmanship is clumsy, and the gesture is vigorous. Walking straight to the dragon and snake, there is a momentum of coming out head-on, roaring in the sky.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't look like anything at first, but after staring at it for a while, he suddenly felt dizzy, and the whole person involuntarily took a step back.

But then he was amazed!

It's not just because of the amazing spirit that remains on this stone wall. What's more, he finally remembered where he had seen it!

"Book from the sky... This is the Book of Heaven..."

Zhang Xiaofan muttered in a low voice, as if he had been repeatedly hit by evil...

Without him, it was just because the qiē that appeared in front of his eyes now was basically the same as the scene he had seen in the ink and wash under the flowing shadow cloth! Just about to talk about the difference, I'm afraid it's just that the qiē in front of me is already dusty, not as it was back then...

At this moment, his heart was so confused that he was in a trance.

Zhang Xiaofan was surprised. In a blink of an eye, Baguio had bypassed the giant monument and walked to the depths of the cave, so he followed. Bypassing the stone stele, I saw that behind it, there were strange-shaped stalactites everywhere, and the two walked around the stone forest for a while, and Baguio, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and whispered.

And almost at the same time. Zhang Xiaofan suddenly realized that he used to fix his arm. Suddenly, there was a strange light, especially the bead in the front of the burning stick, which lit up with an unusual blue light, but this time it was soft, as if I had met an old friend and acquaintance I hadn't seen for many years. With endless thoughts and nostalgia.

Zhang Xiaofan looked forward in surprise, and through Baguio's side, he saw the scene ahead that surprised Baguio: the bottom of the cave was a smooth stone wall, and there was a tunnel on each side of the stone wall, leading to an unknown place. But beneath this stone wall is a bluestone platform, on which a skeleton sits in the shape of an upright, sitting quietly.

And the bead on the burning stick was now shining with a soft blue light against the skeleton.

Baguio stood in front of her, not noticing Zhang Xiaofan's strange expression and the change in the burning stick in his hand, and after the initial startle, she quickly calmed down.

After all, she is a member of the Demon Sect, how could she be afraid of a skeleton, she stepped forward at the moment, looked carefully, but she didn't see any surprises, turned her head and smiled at Zhang Xiaofan: "Maybe this is the black-hearted old ghost who was powerful in the world eight hundred years ago!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan naturally didn't have a good impression of the people in this demon sect, but his heart was already in chaos, so he just responded coldly: "Let's quickly find out if there is any way out, right?" ”

Baguio glanced at him, pursed his lips, and said, "You have to find it yourself!" ”

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, a little unable to pull down, snorted, and actually turned around and walked into the tunnel on the left.

He didn't take two steps, he shook his head to himself secretly, feeling that he couldn't hold his breath in the face of this demon sect woman, and reacted so much when he was excited, he was afraid that she might be sneering and laughing in her eyes at this moment.

But thinking about it, since he took a step, it was impossible to turn back, walked a few steps, but there was no movement behind him, it seemed that Baguio did not follow, Zhang Xiaofan somehow, seemed to be a little lost in his heart, but then secretly scolded himself "no interest", cheered up, and walked carefully to the depths of this tunnel. The tunnel Zhang Xiaofan is in now is no different from the road outside, but it is much deeper and quieter, looking into the distance, it is almost dim, and the road seems to be relatively long, I really can't figure out how those people from the Demon Sect Blood Refining Hall opened such a huge project back then.

After walking like this for a while, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly found that the front was gradually brightening, he had three summers in his heart, and he stepped forward with a quick pace, only to see a soft light at the end of the road ahead, which was exceptionally clear in the dark, like gentle tentacles, tempting people in the world.

Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath and stepped into the light.

Baguio watched Zhang Xiaofan's figure disappear into the tunnel, stunned for a moment, and his face sank. Her father was a high-ranking figure in the Demon Cult, and she had been like a princess since she was a child, and no one dared to disobey her.

Unexpectedly, in this desperate situation today, she met a guy who was not very old and had a small temper in the righteous path, and she couldn't help but not be angry.

Speaking of which, when Zhang Xiaofan was in Qingyun Mountain, he was also a kind young man, why did he bump and bump when he was with Baguio, except for the view of the portal, I am afraid that he himself will not be able to tell.

These things Baguio naturally don't know, but Zhang Xiaofan couldn't get along with her several times, but he really saw it in his eyes, and the boss felt uncomfortable in his heart, but at present, both of them are in the Jedi, and it is not easy to teach this kid a lesson. I had to snort and keep it in my heart, but it was impossible for Baguio to aggrieve herself and follow Zhang Xiaofan.

Barely thinking, she turned around and walked into the tunnel on her right.

Took a few steps. Baguio felt that this was a road similar to the tunnel outside, but there were fewer glowing things on both sides of the stone wall, and the tunnel seemed a little dim.

Fortunately, the road was not very long, and soon Baguio came to an end and stepped into a stone chamber again.

It was a medium-sized stone chamber with shelves on one side and a pile of rubbish, mostly iron, on the other. Knives, swords, guns, etc., were mostly damaged. The more obvious thing is that there is an axe thrown at random on the top, and the whole body is iron, quite huge, but also complete, and it looks like the whole one is cast in iron.

Baguio lost interest after two glances, turned around and walked to the shelves, and took a closer look. The first look of joy on his face appeared, but it didn't take long for it to change to a look of disappointment.

I saw that there were labels on the shelves one by one. Some of the words on it have long been blurred, but there are still some words that can barely be seen clearly, but they are all heart-pounding, such as: "Wuyue Divine Halberd", "Viewing the Moon Suo", "Leaving the Cone" and other names.

Baguio grew up in the Demon Sect since he was a child, and his father is a prodigy with a lot of knowledge. Naturally, I know that these are the first-class magic weapon secret treasures rumored by the Demon Sect, how can I not like it? It's a pity that on these shelves, most of them have no labels and no physical objects, and they are empty and happy.

She sighed, but still thought she was lucky. I looked at each of these shelves, and I saw that each shelf was empty. Xu is emperor lived up to his wishes, and actually found a small iron box in the last grid, but there was no label on this shelf, and he didn't know what was inside.

Baguio was overjoyed in his heart, and carefully stretched out his hand to pick up the box, only to feel that the human hand was quite heavy, and shook it lightly a few times, but there was no sound.

Baguio groaned slightly, then put the iron box on the ground, took a deep breath, concentrated on vigilance, waved his right hand, and suddenly the white light in the stone room flashed, and a jade-like flower suddenly appeared in the air, and at the same time emitted a faint fragrance.

Baguio's expression was solemn, his right hand flipped over, and the small flower that stood in the air was full of light, flying above the iron box, and the white light enveloped the entire iron box.

Then, Baguio cautiously reached out to open the locket. As soon as she pressed the lid of the tin box, Baguio felt that the box seemed to be unlocked, she frowned, the look of vigilance in her eyes became heavier, she gritted her teeth, and opened the lid of the tin box ruthlessly.

I could only hear a soft sound of "click", and before I could see what was inside the iron box, a black gas came out first.

Baguio's face changed greatly, almost like an electric shock turned upside down, and the small white flower above the iron box immediately rushed down, the black gas was suddenly covered by the white light, several impulses but could not come out, after a while, I saw that the black gas gradually shrank, and the jade-like white flower gradually turned black, and actually sucked the black gas in.

It wasn't until the black qi completely dissipated that Baguio waited for a while before coming over, she looked at her little flower, her father had worked so hard to refine the treasure "Sad Strange Flower" for her, and at this moment, the original white jade-like petals had completely turned purple and black, and it looked a little hideous.

Baguio's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "'Ancient Corpse Poison'!" The black-hearted old ghost is really black-hearted, and he actually refines this kind of thing! ”

She cursed in a low voice as the black-hearted old man, a senior of the Demon Sect, turned her gaze into the iron box.

It was very simple, and there was only one thing in a small tin box: a small golden bell, intact as a prayer.

Baguio was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that there was such a rare and highly poisonous thing as "ancient corpse poison" in this iron box, but she was just guarding such a small bell, she looked left and right, and didn't see anything strange, groaned for a while, and slowly stretched out her hand to pick up the little bell.

"Jingle Bell".

A crisp sound, as if echoing in people's hearts, resounded in this secret stone room that had been quiet for eight hundred years.

Baguio picked up the bell, but saw that the bell heart was delicate and delicate, a thin iron cable was tied to the bell body, and when it shook slightly, the bell heart gently hit the bell body, and made a sound again.

"Ding...... Jingling. ”

Baguio saw it in her eyes, the girl's heart, she liked it very much, and the disappointment just now was diluted a lot, and she checked it carefully at the moment, and there was indeed nothing weird, it seemed to be an ordinary exquisite bell. (To be continued......)
