Chapter 128: The Palace of Seven Tones
Under the colorful glass-like sky, the dark pond ripples with the breeze, and the pond is surrounded by a thick mist that cannot be dissolved. On top of the largest lotus flower in the middle of the pond, Senki was about to reach for the switch of the feather gate that had finally appeared in front of him.
The red-eyed tiger skin insect flew towards him again, and the hand that Qianqi saw was about to touch the switch had to retract again. At this time, the fangs of the big worm had already reached in front of him, and he had no choice but to reach out and hold the two front feet of the big worm. It's not a nice feeling to be skin-to-skin with a big bug, and its sticky, slippery feet give you goosebumps to the touch.
The Great Worm and the Thousand Riders fought a battle on the lotus, they jumped back and forth between the cascading petals, and because in the Neon Clothes Cave, the Thousand Riders' demonic power was difficult to exert, so the battle between him and the Great Worm almost turned into hand-to-hand combat.
When the other side has the absolute advantage, the passive side has to step back, and the situation behind him is unsettling that he can't see behind him in the lotus petals, and the pincer-like tongue in the mouth of the big insect still sticks out to Chiki, sometimes even touching his nose and cheeks, leaving a disgusting slime on them.
Qianqi finally found the opportunity to push his hand to release the big worm's feet, and he suddenly remembered that the jade cicada had appeared in front of him when he sank to the bottom of the water just now, but now it was gone, I wonder if it was a hallucination he had just had when he was struggling underwater. As soon as he lost his mind, the big worm attacked him from one side and almost injured him again.
He subconsciously flashed to the side, and a side roll actually rode onto the back of the big worm by mistake, so he quickly summoned the dragon fire bow on his arm and shot it at the head of the big worm, this arrow just pierced into its flesh through the gap between the scales of its neck, only to hear it hiss a few times and began to twist its body.
Qianqi simply held the outside part of the arrow he had just shot with his left hand to maintain the balance of his body, and followed the big worm from the lotus flower to the edge of the lotus leaf, and then tumbled from the edge of the lotus leaf into the water. He wanted to stretch out his right hand and use the hydrator to summon the jade cicada sword, but the sword did not appear in the outstretched hand, but was held by the other hand.
He fixed his eyes and saw that it was indeed the jade cicada that was holding him, but she quickly disappeared after holding him, and the jade cicada sword took shape again. Perhaps inspired by the different scenery in this neon grotto, this time the sword in his hand actually emitted the same colorful light as this otherworldly sky, countless colorful butterflies illuminated the dim underwater world, and he used a new trick Jade Cicada Butterfly Dance, turning thousands of forces into a point to nail the sword into the head of the big insect.
He felt himself begin to sink as the worm descended towards the bottom of the water, and when he reached the bottom of the pond, the water around him began to dwindle rapidly, until there was not a drop left, and the worm beneath him had turned into a skeleton. The glassy sky and the thick mist around him continued to be sucked into his sword, and the Neon Cave vanished with the death of the red-eyed tiger worm, and he returned to the courtyard he had been before.
Looking at the porcelain lotus inserted in the rubble in front of him, as expected, a small mechanism appeared, just like the touch he had just seen on the lotus flower in the neon grotto, but it was reduced countless times, and he carefully twisted his fingers, only to hear the sound of the machine being activated from the distant underground, and the feather gate was finally successfully opened.
Heyin took off the heavy armor on his body before heading to the second layer of Qingyang City, and he immediately felt much more relaxed when he was old without the burden of heavy armor. The Gate of Transformation was located at a 330-degree angle clockwise from due north on the second floor, where a huge field of herbs was hidden a cellar with a special design, and it was difficult to find it except for the people of the Demon Spirit Clan.
Heyin easily came to the entrance of the cellar, and couldn't help but feel funny, as the captain of the orange team who was mainly responsible for guarding the second floor, it was he who had personally turned off the switch of the merchant gate a few days ago, and now he was about to open it again. He took a flint from the bag at his waist, picked up a stick from the side, rubbed it against the fire to light it, and carried it up the stairs to the inside of the cellar.
The section leading to the main body of the cellar was not wide enough for one or two people to walk side by side, and his free hand was just enough to hold on to the wall, and after walking for a while, he came to a wide area, which looked like it was used to store food, and the walls and the floor were made of irregular stones, but the circular hole was empty. He looked around and walked to his right, finding one of the stones that looked indistinguishable and pressing it down.
A door appeared on the wall of the cave in an instant, and Chorus pushed the door in, and in his direction was placed a stone round table, on the top of which was a device similar to a clock, and on it there was only one point, which was the switch of the Gate of Change.
Harmony took a deep breath and walked over to the stone table, and now the pointer was pointing at twelve o'clock, which meant that the Gate of Change was completely closed, and if you wanted to reopen it, you had to turn the pointer to half past ten.
As soon as his hand was placed on the table, he felt like he was being shocked, and the electricity ran through his fingers, causing him to twitch a few times, and then all kinds of hallucinations began to appear in his brain, many of which were fragments of memories he had experienced.
From the picture when he joined the army of the rite in his youth, his young face was filled with indescribable pride, because it was the most glorious moment of his life; Then there was the scene when he married his wife, and many of the people came to congratulate them, and they kept playing the harp, singing, and dancing for three days and three nights, which should be his happiest moment; Then came the birth of his and his wife's first child, and he always remembered the sense of sacredness in his heart when he saw it for the first time; Later, the children died one after another, and he and his wife gradually turned from sadness to numbness......
When he gradually regained consciousness, he found himself following the red-eared demon spirit, and he led him through the main entrance of the palace and then into the palace courtyard.
The strange smell of medicine in the courtyard, Heyin remembered where he had smelled it, and he quickly remembered that every time he met the Red Ear Demon Spirit, he had this smell on his body, so he asked, "Is this the smell of the medicine that Young Master Kui has been taking?"
The red-eared demon spirit showed a trace of helplessness on his face, and nodded in response: "Yes, it doesn't smell good, let alone drink, and it's hard to have to rely on it every day since he was five years old." ”
Heyin didn't feel good in his heart, and he didn't know how to respond to him, so he had to silently follow him with the medicine and walk to Kui's room. Kui's face can only be described as sallow, and if it weren't for his faint snort, it was really worrying that he might have died in a deep sleep.
"Young Master Kui seems to be weaker than the last time I saw him?" The chorus asked tentatively.
"Yes, it can only be said that it is getting worse day by day. If this continues, maybe even this spring will not survive. ”
After speaking, the red-eared demon spirit sighed, skillfully put the medicine aside and then picked up Kui, patted his face, although Kui still closed his eyes but opened his mouth slightly, allowing his father to take a mouthful of the cold medicine. When the last mouthful of the medicine was fed, the red-eared demon spirit gently laid Kui flat again, and Kui snorted faintly from his throat before continuing to fall asleep.
Harmony followed the red-eared demon into the hall again, and he invited him to sit down and made him a cup of herbal tea. He Yin looked through the vapor of the herbal tea, as if he was not a high prince, but just an old friend of his.
Then the red-eared demon spirit sat next to him and said in a sincere tone: "Heyin, the future of the demon spirit clan is in your hands, I don't blame you for helping the demon king fox in your confusion for a while, but you have to think clearly, everything you are doing now is to hasten Kui's death." ”
"I ......" the chorus was about to speak, and the words of the red-eared demon spirit sounded reasonable at first glance, so that he didn't know how to refute it.
Seeing that he was hesitant, the Red-Eared Demon Spirit seized the opportunity to continue to persuade: "You have also seen how Kui has been suffering, and I have long said that as long as I ...... As long as we help him to obtain the Array of Wonders, we can follow this array to find a way to free him. As an old member of the Demon Spirit Clan, if you really become an accomplice to the extermination of the Demon Spirit Clan, how will your conscience be condemned?! ”
The chorus was silent for a long time, but still did not say anything. The scene around him also began to change, he and the red-eared demon spirit actually came to the front hall of the palace at once, but his red-eared demon spirit was high, while he was tied by a rope and knelt on the ground hand and foot, surrounded by countless clans pointing at him.
"That's him! Assist the demon king fox to open the seven-tone gate, and the young master will die! The BLU captain shouted at him.
"Murderer! Murderer! The captain of the yellow team chimed in.
"Drag his wife here, he will make us suffer the disaster of extermination, at least let him watch his wife die for his sins as punishment!" The captain of the RED team also stood in front of everyone.
Everyone's eyes were on him, and when he turned around, he saw that his wife was being held by two of her kind, like an animal dragged forward and covered with bruises, she was thrown to the ground next to him at once, her whole body lying on the ground, her mouth was tightly stuffed with a rag, and her eyes were full of resentment, although she could not speak, he could see that she was full of resentment towards him.
"I'm sorry!" Heyin looked at his wife, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Kill her!" A voice came, eliciting countless responses.
"Kill her!"
He watched as they swung their knives at his wife's neck but couldn't stop it, her blood staining his eyes a bloody color that was the same as the one he had seen in the previous battle with the Demon Horse Cavalry.
Countless cavalrymen fell in the sound of artillery, and as far as the eye could see, the corpses of the city were strewn all over the field, and many cavalrymen were mutilated, and their terrible cries were endless. Beside him, the companions of the Demon Spirit Clan also fell one after another with these cavalry, and the fighting continued, but he already had the answer in his heart.
He had to open the gate of merchantism to stop all this absurdity, and just as he had made up his mind, the illusion disappeared from his eyes, and he returned to the stone table in the cellar chamber, his heart became calm and he no longer hesitated, and he firmly reached out and moved the pointer on the stone table in the direction of half past ten.
