Chapter 20: The Ruins of the Divine Mansion, the Mirage Array
In Wucheng, in a side room of the Hong family, there is a man on the bed covered in white bandages. There was a trail of blood on his body that ran from his left shoulder to his right waist, as if he wanted to split the man in half!
After a few moments, the tall figure sitting on the Taishi chair next to him waved his hand and motioned for the healer to go out. For most of the hour, the dead silence in the room was broken by the sound of a door opening. Entering the house side by side were two young men, one seventeen or eighteen years old, the other in his twenties.
The two walked up to the tall middle-aged man, and one said, "Father, how is the demon wolf?" Listening to this voice, it was Hong Kuan, and the man on the chair of the master was Hong Mu.
But seeing that he was less than fifty years old, he was not angry and arrogant on his face. I only heard Hong Mu say: "He's fine, has the person sent to inquire about the situation come back?"
Hong Kuan replied: "I haven't ...... yet" Before he could say a word, there was a cough on the bed, thinking that the demon wolf had woken up. Hong Mu walked to the side of the bed, and before he could speak, the demon wolf had already scolded: "Damn little beast, you actually hurt me with the benefit of the treasure!"
"If you can scold, it means you're fine. Hong Mu said with a smile on the side.
When the demon wolf heard this, he replied with a wry smile: "Fortunately, Young Master Hong has help, otherwise he won't be able to come back." There was no previous rebelliousness in his words, and he was very polite.
Hong Kuan was about to speak, Hong Mu waved his hand and sneered on the side: "Don't you have a treasure for him?"
The demon wolf's pupils shrank suddenly, and then his face changed, and he only laughed in a low voice: "You...... What do you say?"
"It's that map, we used to get together in a cave, with my dragon head. Hong Mu seemed to be extremely patient, and replied with a smile.
The demon wolf slowly exhaled a few breaths, was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "It was stolen by my criminal." ”
Hearing this, Hong Mu's eyes were round, and he almost wanted to jump out, and said loudly: "That kid has succeeded?" This roar was mixed with vitality, and shook Hong Kuan and the two back more than ten steps!
The demon wolf was not spared, and a flush rose on his pale face, only to be dizzy. After a while, when his qi and blood calmed down, he suddenly said: "Could it be that you instructed that criminals to steal the treasure?"
Hong Muyu was still angry, kicked the chair under him away, and said loudly: "That's right! I wrote to him to steal the treasure, but a few days later, he actually came to me by himself, only saying that the guards were extremely strict, and it was difficult to get his hands on it, and then he knocked on the side to ask me about the news of Gutu. Hmph, how can he get his hands on treasures! If he wants to die, how can I not fulfill him?"
"You...... It's so calculated. The demon wolf's face turned pale, and he stared at Hong Mu and said, "You let that criminal go to kill Yu Xuan, did you take advantage of the situation to ask me to fight with Yu Lie, but you profited from it?"
Hong Mu snorted coldly and didn't answer, but his face became more and more gloomy.
"It's a pretty good strategy, but that Yu Lie is also a Spirit Realm cultivator, just like you, are you still sure to get the treasure map back?" the demon wolf's eyes flickered, and he asked softly.
"Are you going to join forces with me?" With the sound of his body, Hong Mu's palm rushed out, and the demon wolf exclaimed, "You want to kill me?"
"You and I have known each other for more than ten years, don't I know you? When I first followed the master of Hei Chong, I knew that your eyes would be repaid!" Hong Mu said coldly, threw the demon wolf behind him, leaving a mark on the white wall, he shouted: "Hong Zhen, kill him for me!" Before he could respond, a person hurriedly rushed into the house, handed over a few things to Hong Mu, and then whispered to him, and saw that his face changed greatly......
The Guxia Empire in the Southern Regions was conquered hundreds of years ago, and now it has gone through five generations, and its national strength is growing day by day. There is a lone peak in the country, more than 100 zhang high, it is the erosion of the ancient glacier, the cover is like a long sword piercing the sky because of its shape, it is very strange, and it is called "the lone sword peak". It is often admired by people, so there is a person who looks at the mountain peak from afar.
This man is athletic, but his face is anxious. I saw that he stepped forward with his front feet as best he could, and his back feet followed, and in a few moments, the others had already crossed the zhangyu.
"Is it on the mountain peak?" He stood at the foot of the Lone Sword Peak, asking himself questions and answering in his heart. It was a cold winter, and the falling snow dyed Lone Sword Peak white. The mountain peak is bare, there are no trees, but there is a touch of fiery red on the mountain wall, but I don't know what it is, I see that it looks like a red flame on the snow, which is very conspicuous.
Yu Xuan held a page of paper in his hand, and muttered in a low voice, "Is that the Aoki Yan Stem?" and then stepped step by step up the stone steps on the Lone Sword Peak. But I saw that under the mountain peak was an abyss, and the clouds in the abyss were ethereal, and I didn't know how many tens of thousands of zhang there were.
"It's it. Yu Xuan compared the plant drawings on the white paper in his hand for a moment, and pondered in his heart for a long time. It turned out that the green wood stem was born on the cliff, and the mountain wall was very flat, and it was extremely difficult to borrow strength.
So he put the "Hundred Herbs" into the storage bag, and took out another bag, which was given by Ling Cang, but saw that there were only five golden needles and a hook with ropes. The claw was so sharp that with a slight effort, the tip of the claw penetrated the ground and grasped firmly.
So he took off his coat, tied a rope around his waist, and slowly descended the cliff wall, but placed his clothes and storage bag on the stone steps.
I saw that Yu Xuan's figure was more than ten feet lower, and he reached over to pick the Yan stem. But suddenly a strong wind rolled behind him, and there was the sound of birds chirping in the wind. That bird is a spirit beast in the spirit realm.
The white eagle's wings spread widely, and the invisible wind howled around it. Yu Xuan's silence pointed a little, and the strong wind and purple qi collided in front of him, and there was a dull loud sound, but he saw the snow on the cliff. Yu Xuan knew that Cang Mingdiao was pushing out a strong wind dozens of zhang away, and when the strong wind hit him, he would be able to cope with it at the end of the strong crossbow. But if the Cangming Eagle flies closer, how can he be its opponent?
Runes faintly appeared on Yu Xuan's eyebrows, but then he suppressed his inner breath and looked around, only a stone platform suddenly appeared under the stem, two or three feet wide. But Shicai is a flat cliff, how can there be a stone platform? It is covered by snow, and the human eye cannot see clearly. He said happily: "What the teacher expected is really good, the place where the Aoki Yan stem grows is really unknown to people!"
Then he fell down, stood on the stone platform, and untied the ropes. I saw that the cliff in front of me could reflect the shadow of a person. So he stroked his hand lightly, but he felt that the chill was through his bones, it was a piece of ice, different from the stone cliffs around him.
"How can there be ice cubes the size of ten zhang on the cliff?" Yu Xuan looked back, and the Cang Ming Eagle was only two or three zhang away from him, and he was in the void, but he didn't dare to let out the strong wind at all, and looked at the ice with a pair of jewel-like eyes.
Yu Xuan secretly said in his heart: "It's really weird!" Then the rune reappeared on his forehead, and his body unconsciously released a scorching energy. The energy pushed away, and the ice slowly melted, revealing a gate. The ancient and obscure lines on the door were like runes, and the handprints on the door knocker that were frozen were as good as new.
"Has anyone been here before?" Yu Xuan wondered in his heart and pushed open the door.
The door was opened, and a smell of decay hit the face. I saw that the cave was like a ruined palace, and there were more than ten portals, but they were all frozen by the cold ice, and large and small ice crystals could be seen everywhere.
Yu Xuan held a torch in his hand, the fire was shining brightly, and there were white jade pillars dozens of feet high reflecting the light. Suddenly, I only heard a voice in my ear and said: "This place has been frozen for nearly a hundred years, and the cultivation of the person who fought against it should not be under the realm of transforming gods!"
Yu Xuan was stunned and asked, "Teacher, is that man-made?"
The voice said, "These cold ice are as hard as steel, and they can't be used by those who are not cultivators of heaven and man. But if it can freeze the entire ruins, it must be the pinnacle of heaven and man cultivation. The voice is old, but it seems to be full of energy, that is Ling Cang. Ling Cang attached a spiritual sense to Yu Xuan's body, and he was able to point out from the side.
Yu Xuan found a portal, dissolved the ice with vitality, and walked for a long time, passing through the second corridor and three pavilions, and stepping on a small bridge. At the end of the bridge, there is a vast flat land, which is the remains of the mountain. But seeing that the clouds on the top were insignificant, Yu Xuan said in his heart: "It turns out that under the so-called abyss, there is still such a world. "I saw that the surface of the earth was no longer a solid stone, but was paved with soft sand, and the grass was green, and I saw a yellow tree one foot high growing in the middle of the flat ground. The tree had branches but no leaves, and the rhizomes on the ground were very thick, extending more than ten zhang far in all directions.
Ling Cang said: "This is the 'Heart Protector Tree', it really only grows here. But suddenly Yu Xuan exclaimed, "That's ...... again"
I saw that an icicle also formed on the cliff wall more than ten zhang away, and there seemed to be two figures in the ice.
Ling Cang said: "The ruins are frozen here, or they have nothing to do with those two. Yu Xuan nodded, but seeing where the rhizome of the heart guard tree extended, the frozen cold energy could be stopped.
"Let's go, go and cut down a branch of heart protection to suppress the inner strength of your father's body. But when he approached the heart guard, an old voice suddenly said, "Someone is here again, is that the ruins leaked?" I saw a white gas spread behind the tree, and immediately trapped Yu Xuan in it, and then the scene in front of me changed, and only the sound of gurgling water could be heard. There are rockeries and pavilions around it. There is also a faint red neon purple gas, turning into a fairyland.
Yu Xuan asked in surprise, "Teacher?"
Ling Cang said: "It's just a phantom array, this is made up of 'mirage qi'. It is rumored that the ancient beast mirage dragon is good at transforming the pavilion, and someone has the same ability to cultivate as it through secret methods. Then he said, "Listen to my fate!"
But seeing that the rune culture on Yu Xuan's forehead flowed like magma, the heat was pressing. The fire was magnified all over the body, and the waves of fire swept away, and the pavilion and water pavilion cracked into fine fragments. The fragments turned into white gas again, as if the two worlds were spliced together, and although there was still a beautiful fairyland behind him, the vision was already the original appearance of the frozen ruins.
An old man in blue came from behind the heart guard, who was seventy or eighty years old, and looked at Yu Xuan in surprise and said, "How can a kid from the Yuan Vein Realm break the 'Thirty-Three Heavenly Illusion Array'?"
But a figure also appeared on the top of Yu Xuan, and laughed loudly: "'Thirty-three Heavenly Illusion Array'?
The old man was shocked and asked, "How do you know this?"
Ling Cang smiled: "After a lot of experience, I naturally know." But now that the Ancient God's Mansion is destroyed, why do you want to be in turmoil, the world has been chaotic enough in the past hundred years!"
The old man shook his head and said, "There are too many secrets in between, which cannot be decided by me or revealed to you. So a piece of white qi enveloped Yu Xuan, and the figure was hidden in the white qi, and a palm suddenly grabbed his throat. But Ling Cang said coldly: "Don't say that your cultivation at this time is not one out of ten, even if you are completely recovered, you can't hurt me by half a point!"
Suddenly, Ling Cang's robe sleeves flicked, shook away the white qi, and said, "Your mirage can't hurt me, you can go." ”
The old man sighed and walked out slowly. But when he walked on the wooden bridge, he said: "What the remnants of the Divine Mansion are planning is just to follow the footsteps of the ancient gods. ”
Ling Cang nodded, and Yu Xuan asked, "Who is that person?"
Ling Cang said: "He is a member of the remnants of the Divine Mansion, there were ten ancient families in the Divine Mansion at the beginning, and each family occupied several positions in the Divine Mansion, and his power was extremely great. And this person's cultivation of mirage should be a Phantom Clan. ”
Yu Xuan nodded, and took a knife to cut down a heart guard.
It was the middle of winter, and the snow was getting thicker and thicker, and that was the best time for the scenery of Lone Sword Peak. I saw a slender jade palm grabbing the black robe on the stone steps, and on top of the beautiful face, a pair of willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly, muttering to themselves: "This dress?"
