Chapter Eighty-Five: Yin Arrow
Entering from the crystal dragon's mouth is a bottomless road, the fire in our hands can only illuminate the place not far in front of us, no one will know what will appear in the darkness, but from the direction of the road, we are parallel to the fairy water rock in the walk.
I am extremely careful with every step, it is not an exaggeration to use thin ice, this road is about three meters high, side by side can accommodate three people to pass, for safety, I let the others line up vertically, keep a corresponding distance between them, in case of emergencies can also deal with it.
After about a stick of incense, this long surge disappeared into the firelight, no one knew where we were, and we didn't dare to talk much, for fear of disturbing something, I gave Xiao Lianshan a look, and he threw out the stones he had brought on his body for exploration.
A small crash echoed in the darkness, and from this echo it seemed that the space here was not too small, and we had been moving parallel along the Changping Ku'an Platform of the Sensui Rock, and if I was not mistaken, we should be in the deepest part of this mountain range now.
There is no oil fire like the oil fire used for lighting outside, and the most primitive fear of darkness spreads in the hearts of each of us, and we can only see a few meters under our feet, groping our way forward without purpose or direction.
After walking not far, Yue Qianling suddenly squatted on the ground and asked me to take the torch over, she touched the stone slab on the ground, and tapped it a few times with her fingers, saying that the material of this stone slab is completely different from the landform of Danxia Mountain in Longhu Mountain, not the stone here, this kind of stone slab was mostly used to pave roads in the Ming Dynasty, especially in cemeteries, and is generally used for the laying of Shinto.
Yue Qianling asked me to walk along this stone path, and it is common sense that the end of this Shinto path is usually the main burial chamber, but this is not a mausoleum, and there must be other intentions for laying the Shinto.
Sure enough, I didn't go long, I looked at the stone carvings on both sides of the Shinto, the left and right sides were the stone statues of the zodiac and the civil and military officials, I asked others not to touch them at will, so as not to trigger the hidden mechanism, I secretly counted the twelve zodiac signs in my heart, when the last one was counted, and then there were no stone statues appearing.
Fearfully moving forward, the firelight illuminated the steps, I looked down to see that it was white marble, I carefully and slowly walked up step by step, and finally this step led us to a platform, in front of which there was an incense case, neatly placed the four treasures of the study.
None of us spoke, it was so quiet here that the sound of dropping a needle would be heard, I hesitated, walked to the incense case, picked up the brush on it as brand new as ever, wrapped the rice paper together, I slowly unfolded the blank on the incense case, the inkstone was not ink, but cinnabar, I don't know how it was preserved until now, it has not dried up at all.
I took a torch around this platform, which is a boxy platform made of white marble, carved with Pixiu and tiger wolves, it is obvious that this platform is the main martial arts, but I don't know the specific role.
There was no other passage except for the road we came up, and I asked Xiao Lianshan to throw a stone down, and from the echo, I could hear that there were more than ten meters below the platform.
Xiao Lianshan was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Wen Zhuo's hand raised, signaling him to be quiet, as if he was listening to something, the recognition of sound in this closed darkness seems to be extremely sensitive, we all listened with our ears, Ye Qingyu tried to stand in Wen Zhuo's position, it should be to know what he heard.
Ye Qingyu held the torch in her hand, just walked to Wen Zhuo's side, Wen Zhuo's eyes fell on the burning torch in her hand, her face was shocked, she pushed Ye Qingyu away, and snatched the torch from her hand, we didn't react to Wen Zhuo's sudden move, Ye Qingyu took a few steps back, but was supported by Yue Qianling, and was about to question Wen Zhuo.
While!
A black arrow suddenly pierced through the darkness and hit the torch impartially, if Ye Qingyu was still standing here before, this arrow would have just hit her chest.
There is an arrow shooting, and it is looking for the direction of the fire, which means that this is not a mechanism, since the direction of this arrow can be judged is someone shooting it, I have thought of many possibilities, but I have not thought that this dusty place for hundreds of years, there are other people besides us.
Xiao Lianshan and I stood in front, Wen Zhuo called my name, and looked at the torch in his hand in surprise, the black arrow that penetrated the torch actually began to fade slowly, and the entire arrow body rose up a cloud of black mist, and the arrow disappeared without a trace in front of our eyes, if it weren't for the arrow hole on the torch, it would be hard to believe that an arrow had been shot.
"This ...... What kind of arrow is this, and it can still disappear? Xiao Lianshan asked with his head sideways.
I frowned, but Wen Zhuo seemed to be a little unsure, hesitated for a moment, slowly stretched out his fingers, close to the black mist that had not completely dissipated, the moment he touched it, a touch of white frost attached to Wen Zhuo's fingers, fortunately, Wen Zhuo had already prepared, stretched out his fingers to pinch the dark fire, saw that the white frost was taken aback, and hurriedly started a spell to summon the samadhi fire at his fingertips, although the white frost was burned clean in the samadhi fire, but looking at Wen Zhuo's expression, he knew how dangerous it was just now, he kept gritting his teeth, and a fine cold sweat oozed from his forehead, His chest heaved heavily, and although he hadn't said anything yet, he could tell that he was so frightened that he had to take a deep breath to calm down.
It's a Yin Arrow!
Wen Zhuo used his body to confirm my conjecture with him, Xiao Lianshan heard these two words, and asked disapprovingly what is a Yin arrow, Gu Anqi's understanding is estimated to be the same as everyone else, an arrow from the underworld, Xiao Lianshan said that since it is an arrow in the underworld, what is there to be afraid of, he is also a Yin general, and the ghosts of the ten directions are afraid of him, how can a mere Yin arrow be enough to worry about, not to mention that Wen Zhuo and I have a good way, how can we be afraid of this thing.
Wen Zhuo only calmed down now, glanced at Xiao Lianshan, shook his head and looked solemn, and finally his gaze fell on me, I may not know as much as he knows about the Yin Arrow, I just saw it in a song in the Sanqu True Realm.
Yin arrow, not to the underworld of the arrow, but the yin and yang arrow, by the power of the two worlds of yin and yang, can be used to eliminate the demon can be punished gods, Wen Zhuo heart palpitations to us, the three realms are not interconnected, each has its own unique ability, the cold yin of the netherworld and the scorching yang of the yang world of the two forces of the fusion of the refining of the arrow is called the yin arrow, but people who can control the power of the yin and yang worlds need extremely strong mana.
Wen Zhuo said this, looked up at me and continued, the reason why he knew the existence of this Yin Arrow was because he had experienced it, I knew that he was talking about Yingzheng of Taishan Doutian in the past, I saw in my heart that the reason why the millions of souls driven by Yingzheng were able to invincible and destroy the withering and decaying and attack the Nine Heavens relied on the weapons refined by the power of yin and yang.
Obviously, a person with such ability, Wen Zhuo has only seen Yingzheng, and it seems that he is the only one who can do this, but now in this dark place, who will shoot yin arrows at us.
I was thinking of this, and suddenly found that the torch in my hand was drifting backwards, and there was a sound of wind passing through my ears, very slight and weak, but there should be no wind here, Wen Zhuo looked at the darkness, and his hand slowly rose again, this time I could hear the sound without his reminder.
It's a bit like the wind before the rain, although it wasn't so cold, but the flowing breath seemed to be filled with the coldness of Xiao Killing, and I could faintly hear a small, sharp voice, as if something was cutting through the darkness quickly.
Breaking the air!
I suddenly remembered the arrow shot by Gu Xiaotian, he pulled out the mountain and covered the world, and the arrow that bent the bow and arrows made such a sound, but the sound I heard was far louder than the one made by Gu Xiaotian's arrow, and the longer the time passed, the clearer and denser the sound became.
Not an arrow!
Although I can't see anything in the dark, I can understand what this voice means by now, Wen Zhuo's expression is the same as mine, the demon can be eliminated under the Yin Arrow, and there is absolutely no way to save the injured by the Yin Arrow, and there will be countless gods and soldiers who died under the Yin Arrow, not to mention how can we ordinary people resist it.
The sound in the darkness has now become clear and sharp, it is not the sound of an arrow, but the rain of arrows composed of countless arrows, it does not matter whether it is a yin arrow or not, from this sound can be heard, the rain of arrows shot at us from the darkness is overwhelming, like an impermeable net, we are standing on this unobstructed platform, there is no way to retreat, and from the loud sound of this breaking air, we are covered by this rain of arrows within a hundred meters around us.
It's not a mechanism, it's someone watching us in the dark, guarding this place all the time, any trespasser will definitely die, I was only surprised that there are other people in this dusty place for hundreds of years besides us, but now I am even more surprised that there is probably more than one person watching us in this darkness.
