Walking on a road that has been abandoned for an unknown number of years, I feel extremely complicated in my heart. I didn't expect that the legendary Qu Shangcheng would actually exist in such a posture after thousands of years of baptism.

I followed behind Cher and didn't speak, just quietly felt the desolate and heavy feeling. What was the purpose of bringing me here?

Along the wide road in the middle of the ruins, a huge stone gate appeared in front of me, the stone gate was tilted, and the walls around it had already collapsed, and the carvings on it had been eroded by wind and rain, and it was already blurred, but you could also see the glory that once existed here.

My eyes jumped, and when I looked at it, the ruins in front of me were different from the surroundings, whether it was the remaining buildings or decorations, they all seemed delicate and faintly contained a touch of nobility.

"If you guessed correctly, this is the palace of the ancient Shu Kingdom, right?"

I looked at Cher in front of me and spoke, looking around vigilantly, for some reason, I always felt that something was wrong with this ruin.

Cher didn't answer, and walked deeper on her own, and I had no choice but to follow, thinking that I wanted to see what attracted her to the city.

The further I went, the more obvious the strangeness in my heart became, and the air around me faintly revealed a sense of oppression, which made me feel very uneasy.

"Roar."

Xiao Bai also let out a low roar when he lay on my shoulder, and both dragon eyes narrowed slightly.

"Little one, did you find anything?" I whispered to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai soared up and whispered: "There is a change in the aura of heaven and earth here, and I feel that we are constantly approaching danger. ”

I gritted my teeth and said, "Be careful, it's very evil here." ”

Five minutes later, when I followed Cher from a corner, I was startled and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Because what is in front of you is so wicked!

More than ten meters in front of it is a huge flat land, and in the middle of it stands a tall altar, which is divided into three layers, and the whole body is composed of snow-white marble, shining in the sun. This scene looks like it should be a place of worship in the ancient Shu Kingdom, similar to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. However, on each side of the altar stood a huge bronze pillar about ten meters high, from which an arm-thick iron chain protruded, and went to the middle of the altar.

There, four chains were attached to the four corners of a coffin, hanging from the center of the third layer of the altar.

I couldn't help but gasp, this coffin is not big, but the whole body is made of bronze, and under the corrosion of time, it has been covered with colorful patina, which does not look like a good thing.

But at this time, the one who had been leading the way in front seemed to be in a demon, stupidly suspended in mid-air, looking at the bronze coffin in a daze.

This is the coffin that summoned Cher?

My heart jumped, and all kinds of speculations came flooding back, but I didn't dare to judge easily. I reached out and placed the two sleeping people on my shoulders on a slightly flat clearing, and walked over to Cher, the sword glowing red in the sunlight.

"That's what you're looking for? Why did you lie to me about coming here? I squinted my eyes and said, just waiting to see what happens.

But what I didn't expect was that Cher suddenly turned to look at me, and she whispered, "Help me open that coffin!" ”

I was stunned and asked, "What's in there?" Who's locked it, you know this thing looks very evil, if there's something buried in it, wouldn't it be ...... for me to open it?"

Halfway through the words, I couldn't continue, because at the moment Xue'er's two clear eyes were staring at me tightly, not saying a word, but the pressure gave me goosebumps.

"Help me open this coffin!" Cher repeated, her voice resolute.

I wanted to say a few words, but when I saw Cher's eyes and the look on her face, the scene of her helping me many times came to mind.

"It's done!"

I finally whispered, since she didn't want to say it, then don't ask, Cher has helped me so many times before, and this time no matter what is buried in the coffin, I will admit it.

I let out a long breath and stepped forward, walking in the direction of the altar.

Cher followed me, but as I stepped up the stone steps of the altar, she stopped and stayed outside the altar.

Although I was puzzled, I didn't think much of it, and walked up to the hanging bronze coffin in a few steps.

I looked around carefully, there was nothing strange about this altar, but the bronze coffin in front of me made my heart furious.

The coffin was about three inches off the ground, and four iron chains were firmly locked to the four corners, and they were covered with rust.

"This coffin always gives me an uncomfortable feeling, let's not open it." Xiaobai let out a low cry in front of me, even if it was a real dragon, he felt very uncomfortable at this moment.

I glanced back at Cher, and saw her looking in my direction with a blank face, and I didn't know what it meant.

"Don't be afraid, we haven't seen anything, no matter how powerful and capable the things inside are, Bai Jiao can't do it."

As I said something cheering, I slipped the sword down the gap in the edge of the coffin. Speaking of which, the dignified Yue Wang Eight Swords fell into the role of a crowbar in my hands, if Gou Jian knew, I don't know if he would crawl out of the grave angrily.

"Get up!"

I let out a low cry and with the help of my sword, I pried the entire lid of the coffin from the tightly fastened bronze coffin.

......

A white breath came out of the cracks, but to my surprise, there was no smell of rotting corpses as expected, but a vague scent emanating from it, which seemed familiar to my nose.

Bang!

The lid of the coffin was pried up by me and fell to the ground, and the four iron chains also led the coffin to shake.

I didn't care about that, and I looked at the contents of the coffin with my eyes wide open.

, it's her!

I was taken aback, although I had a faint guess in my heart long ago, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I still couldn't hide my surprise.

This is a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with long willow eyebrows and peach cheeks, delicate and small facial features, and beautiful fair skin in the sun. It's just that her eyes are closed at the moment, and her expression is quiet and peaceful.

"Cher!"

I couldn't help but whisper, the girl in this bronze coffin turned out to be the Xue'er I saw in my experience in the Nine Old Caves! Her appearance was a year or two older than what she had seen at the beginning, but she was still instantly recognizable. It's just that what attracts me the most at this moment is the dress she is wearing, which is a golden robe embroidered with the winged sun god bird, noble and gorgeous!

I immediately looked back at the floating phantom under the altar with a horrified expression.

But Xue'er under the altar still had that tranquil expression, and she said softly, "Help me bring out the contents of it." ”

I froze for a moment, listening to Cher's tone, and it seemed that she couldn't get up to the altar. Although I don't know why she became such a little girl, it should be her real body.

"Why do I always have a sense of danger?" Xiaobai whispered in my ear, and the whole dragon's body tensed.

"Just be careful."

I replied, and reached out to carry the girl out of the coffin.

The golden phoenix bird robe should be made of silk and satin, smooth and soft in my hand, and I picked up Xue'er's body from the coffin with my hands and was about to take it down the altar, but inadvertently, my arm touched her exposed skin, and it turned out to be warm.

There is even a temperature! It's about the same as a big living person!

I was startled, my face was about an inch more than an inch away from Cher's head.

Suddenly, the tightly closed eyes of the girl in her arms suddenly opened, revealing a pair of dark and faint eyes under her.

I shuddered, and I almost tripped and fell to the ground.

Immediately after that, Xue'er in my arms slapped me hard in the chest......
