The different footsteps of the two echoed in the long empty passage, they didn't speak and couldn't feel each other's breathing, Luo Hongliang may have been out of killer instinct or planning to do it, Zheng Yan was a little nervous and even vigilant.

I have seen this side once or twice from a distance through the eyes of the young man, because the distance is too far and it is naturally impossible to see the specific layout from low to high, but there is still an estimate of these towering trees with a thickness of dozens of zhang, since this hall is in the middle of the twelve big trees, the length of this passage should be more than 100 zhang, it is really a long road.

"What does Your Highness think of Sister Wu?",

Luo Hongliang's unexpected question suddenly broke the silence between the two, Zheng Yan instantly thought about it when he heard this, was there anything between them? cooperation? Wu Tingdie wanted to subdue her? Or did she want to cling to Wu Tingdie? Suspicion? What did Wu Tingdie do to her? What did she do to Wu Tingdie? Or did she just want to confirm something from herself?

"I don't know her well, only half a day before you, and after you get here, you have more contact than me",

"Is Your Highness so cautious about Hong Liang? You two have been in the same bed for three or four months, right?"

Unconsciously, Zheng Yan heard that the tone of the woman next to him seemed to be much softer, and even faintly complained, it couldn't be that she had used a charm on herself, right?

"Well, don't think about it, she was a wizard 10,000 years ago, and the people at that time didn't have the etiquette we have now, so huddled together was just a matter of cultivating their own practices, if you have to evaluate her... Well, eccentric, delicate and willful, intelligent, and occasionally a little innocent, the cultivation should be enough to easily settle the seven of us, and the rest is not clear",

"Your Highness should know how she lived for tens of thousands of years, right?"

Zheng Yan smiled, immortality is indeed a great temptation for both ordinary people and monks," There are three kinds of longevity methods of the witch clan, the first is by taking the immortal medicine, but to combine a spell, and the use of this spell needs to cost the life of another wizard, this is the case of the wizard who imprisoned us to the star platform, he said that because of the relationship between the immortal medicine and the spell, although he has gained immortality, he has also lost his seven emotions, six desires and five senses; Similar to the existence of blood demons, if you want to live forever, you have to constantly devour the vitality of others to maintain, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the devil's way; You're not interested in these longevity methods, are you?",

“... yes, I didn't expect it to be like this... In other words, there is a master behind Sister Wu?",

"That's for sure",

"Will it be here that she planned it?",

"Hmm... There seems to be some truth in what you say, is there anything special about you being together these days?",

"She said that this Imperial City contains the last peerless treasure of the Wu Clan, and if we get it, we can soar into the sky."

I didn't hear the following, Zheng Yan was a little helpless, this woman was really cautious, "The peerless treasure of the Wu Clan, the cultivation method, the immortal life method, or... The way to ascend to heaven and become a god?",

"Why can't it be a living person? Dead things have a finite value, don't they?"

"Well, it makes sense, since she told you that this should need your help, as far as I know, Wu Tingdie has no harmful intentions and will not be too ruthless and unrighteous for some big things, in fact, she seems to care more about affection, I think you can trust her, after all, the secret treasure of the Wu clan should not be too bad, and it can also broaden your horizons at the worst, you should know that vision is too important for cultivation",

"Doesn't Your Highness want it?",

"Hehehe, what's the use of asking for me now? If you have a chance of living, I will definitely die, so I only think about how to live now",

"That star girl seems to be very powerful",

"I don't want to drag her down, if you really trouble Miss Luo to take care of her more when the city is broken, she will be a big help to you."

...

"Doesn't Your Highness think it's strange? In our world, the customs and people's accents will be different, that is, in the last two hundred years, there has been a trend of integration because of the laying of post roads and the laxity of households, but here across tens of thousands of miles of jungle, different countries and different tribes have the same accents, and the words are almost the same, this should be unreasonable, right?"

Zheng Yan was a little surprised that this woman could think of this kind of problem, it seemed that she had always underestimated her, and thought that she knew her well enough.

I have thought about this question myself, especially when I was hunted down and killed during this time and met Huai Hao yesterday. In the past year or so, the Jietian Clan, the Wood Spirit Clan and a small number of Yu people have lived here for a long time, their accents are similar and reasonable, but those who chase and kill themselves live far away from here, I heard that they have little communication with each other, Huai Hao and Liu Xiang are from the other side of Zhaoyao Mountain, you must know that according to the God Clan, this jungle of thousands of miles is rarely set foot even if it belongs to the Yu people of the Yu Republic of China, and even everyone recognizes that this is a forbidden place, almost isolated from the world, it stands to reason that both the accent and the text should be different from the outsideBut in fact, the tribes that are not only the same but rarely communicate with each other are still very close at first sight.

"What does Miss Luo think?",

"I heard that the inheritance of these gods is to increase their ability and knowledge through awakening consciousness, and they do not need to be nurtured, and when their bodies grow or cultivate to a certain extent, their consciousness will automatically produce the insights and abilities that their ancestors have explored, will it be the same for these gods? And the existence of those so-called spirit races is also very peculiar, although it is said to help the gods heal diseases and eliminate disasters and sense the changes of time, but they all seem to have a calmness and heaviness accumulated over a long period of time, just like our enlightened masters there, maybe they are shouldering the responsibility of teaching the god race."

Zheng Yan nodded subconsciously, this idea is indeed correct and very reasonable, but there are other explanations, "Wu Tingdie and I talked about a question about accents, she said that wizards had their own set of accents back then, and they named different pronunciations ' Syllables', just like the tones in music theory, the official dialects we speak now are generally four syllables, which is five at most, and they had a maximum of twelve at that time, and the most commonly used one was eight, you know that mantras have a lot to do with pronunciation, and a big reason why their mantras were powerful at that time was pronunciation. However, cumbersome things will be gradually eliminated, and it may be because of this that the inheritance of wizards is becoming more and more difficult, so in the end they also adopted seven tones to six tones until four tones, which is the natural trend of development, and there are millions of years of history, and it should be reasonable to eventually unify them, but the inheritance method you said is indeed very reasonable, if this is the case...",

"If that's the case, then these gods should know very well about the demons who have been fighting with them for hundreds of thousands of years, the Seven Hidden Celestial Phenomena appear once every seventy-two years, that is to say, every seventy-two years, they will break out a big war with the demons, although there have been four consecutive celestial phenomena, during which the demons have not been dispatched, why are they so overstretched this time? The Celestial Clan Wood Spirit Clan who came into contact with us before didn't seem to have much worry or fear when they mentioned that once every seventy-two years, the Demon Clan went up to the ground on a large scale, which means that they originally had a way to deal with it that would have allowed them to be confident enough."

Zheng Yan unconsciously stopped, thought about it, and muttered, "Are you saying that their various performances are deliberate? at least someone colluded or gave orders from them, or those Protoss were also deceived?",

In the dark, I only heard Luo Hongliang say seriously, "I heard that the earliest people who lived in the Emperor's City were the gods and spirits, and they must have left a lot of things here, and then they were hurriedly driven out by the wizards, and they could only live in the dangerous jungle for hundreds of thousands of years, so it should be reasonable for them to want to return or find the inheritance of their ancestors, but because of the forbidden relationship left by the wizards, they can't easily enter, which requires the witch sister to open, and it is considered to finally wait for the wizards to return, as for how they came in... To be on the safe side, they would have lured the demons to attack in a big way, in fact, it stands to reason that they could have dealt with it outside, after all, this is not the first time in so many years",

Zheng Yan's eyes couldn't see it, he just subconsciously stroked the wall of the passage with one hand, and after a while, he whispered, "Have these speculations been told to Wu Tingdie?"

"No, I just remembered it, and I still have a feeling from the gossip we just had",

Zheng Yan was silent for a while and said softly, The original inhabitants of the Emperor City are indeed the gods and spirits, but they only exist as guards and attendants, the real subject is the priests, the priests are a group of very special existences, I don't know very well, the people who told me these compare the priests to the combination of the wizard spirit race and the god race, that is to say, they all have the specialties of the three races, and the Jietian wood spirits who interacted with us before all said that they do not have priests now, and even many people have not heard of it, you said before that the spirit race is responsible for curing diseases and eliminating disasters and mastering the heavenly time calendar is actually inaccurate, it is the priests who really master these at the beginning, and Xiaoguan seems to have only mastered some basic celestial time calendars, he may not be able to heal diseases, at least he has not shown it in front of us, as for the elimination of calamity, it also depends on the specific situation, why didn't they come to find people when you just mentioned, maybe it is true, probably the gods and spirits have a heritage left here, and there are priests."

So what will be the purpose of Wu Tingdie?

"In this way, all this is expected by the Protoss, they will definitely not let themselves be caught in the urn in order to enter the city, which means that we don't actually have to worry about the city being broken",

Just when Zheng Yan was pondering, Luo Hongliang's soft voice suddenly sounded in his ears, almost subconsciously Zheng Yan felt a chill in his heart, and there was a feeling of being like a man's back, I remember that Uncle Kaiyuan once told an encounter in the letter, saying that there are many abandoned beacons and villages and towns in the wasteland of Fengyan Continent, and when there is a snowstorm in winter, you can often see wild beasts and wild sheep hiding in it together, and when the snowstorm stops, it will be a killing.

"The demon clan may have achieved a breakthrough for more than 300 years, probably the protoss is a little taken for granted."

"Ha, I think so too, at least we have to prepare for the worst."

Zheng Yan lamented in his heart, as expected, he was still not used to getting along with such an elusive woman.

Along the way, there were finally rising steps, and after walking about thirty steps, I stepped on the flat ground, very smooth ground, and even if I stepped on it, Luo Hongliang's silence still sounded a crisp sound, and the sound gradually expanded and echoed around, and it seemed that I had entered the main hall directly.

"The first thirty steps are the formation of the six out of the lock yuan array, Sister Wu said you know how to activate, I'll go around first, and when I come back, you can cast a spell",

Then there was the sound of Luo Hongliang's footsteps leaving, Zheng Yan had been listening attentively, she seemed to be checking the entire hall, judging from the sound, the length and width of this hall were about twenty zhang, was it just a six-out lock yuan array?

"Okay, no demons sneak in, you start",

Luo Hongliang checked it and walked back, Zheng Yan suddenly thought of a question, could it be that the twelve big trees outside were only guarding this hall? Could it be that no one could crack the attack methods of the big trees or find out that the secret passage also sneaked in through the secret passage?

It seems that Luo Hongliang has no answer, Zheng Yan had to walk up to the stage with questions, according to the method taught by Wu Tingdie before, first cut his wrist to let the blood drip to the position of the eye of the array, and was half deceived and half-lured by He Jun and Wu Tingdie to activate those formations vividly, and now he is forced to consume his essence and blood, and it is uncomfortable to think about it, the gentleman does not stand on the dangerous wall, the ancients do not deceive me.

Soon the mind and the array were connected, and he felt that the essence and blood were almost gone, and he began to chant the incantation, the witchcraft that the old witch had taught herself every night in the camp seemed to have a purpose, and it was also called "more means and more possibilities to live", well, it seems that they are the ones who will survive.

Just like opening a thousand machine locks, this six-out lock yuan array is actually composed of six small arrays that fit each other, and the subtlety of them is really breathtaking, not that it is visible to the naked eye, but it requires the caster to use his own spiritual power to infiltrate the entire array in a specific way, and then by guiding his own essence to move the small array one by one, the order of fluctuation is very critical, and if you make a slight mistake, you have to start again, and now the cultivation world does not dare to say that there is such a subtle lock array, with Zheng Yan's knowledge and experience, he has only seen the four-out lock yuan array in the big interior, which is the lock on the door of a treasure house in the Internal Affairs Office。

Who says that a new generation is better than an old one? Well, maybe it's a different emphasis.

Finally, the six small arrays began to operate at the same time, as if the clouds were clear and the sun was like flowers blooming, countless soft golden rays of light came out from the middle of the six slowly blooming small arrays, Zheng Yan suddenly found himself suspended in a golden space, somewhat like the scene in his own New Year's coin...

The golden light began to appear in the illusion of color, and the illusion of color bloomed again and again in pure white, and after the pure white, there seemed to be birdsong... And the waterfall? What's going on? Illusion? Isn't there only the power of the Seven Rays that are stored?

Unconsciously, I have been down-to-earth, hey! It's really a ground, it's a stone step! Wait! I can see it?!A small lake, lotus leaves, lotus flowers, koi fish, and a small waterfall in the distance, and the waterfall falls with the flow of water, which actually stirs up countless pure white water mist! In the distance is the cliff and stone wall, and the sky is also pure white, oh, there is a stone embankment, and the stone embankment extends from a water pavilion in the cliff waterfall to his side, and the pavilion in the back, the white clothes are better than the snow, and the woman...

"Long Ao Huan?!",

No, it's not her, how can I think of her, Yingyue, uh, it seems to be Xinluo, damn it, it's an illusion!

The woman in white who was sitting in the pavilion seemed to finally realize Zheng Yan's existence, turned her head and looked at it suspiciously, her quiet starry eyes were ethereal and distant, but the next moment there were ripples and then surprise, she slowly got up and walked out with hesitation and doubt.

Zheng Yan happened to be under the steps of the gazebo, when he first appeared before, he was facing away from the gazebo, and when he turned around and saw the scene in front of him, he still felt that he was in a fantasy after all, and saw that the woman was walking down step by step from the original quiet and quiet to become more and more vivid and vivid, until he stood two feet in front of him and was already full of life, uh, it seemed that the distance was too close!

"Who are you?",

The woman's lips are soft and her lips are not leaking, and her voice is different kind of beautiful and gentle, which seems to have innocence and temptation, light and gentle, Zheng Yan's spirit fell instantly, and she was almost fascinated by it when she first saw Xingwei, but it didn't matter if she was lustful, it was just comfortable or pleasing to the eye, and it was really an illusion, didn't she combine all the women she met together? Yingyue's gentle and quiet beauty, Xinluo's light and tranquil, Xingwei's delicate brightness, Dugu Taki's... How did she come about? All in all, she was good, oh, and her figure was good, stretched and firm.

Since it is an illusion, don't worry about it, Zheng Yan shook his head and raised his leg to go directly through the woman to sit in the pavilion, the distance of two feet was only one step, and the result was that he really bumped into each other, almost subconsciously Zheng Yan grabbed the woman's body that fell backwards because she was caught off guard, this waist... Very good, tight and silky, damn it, my heart beat faster, etc., the touch will not be wrong is indeed real, it seems to be a very high-level illusion, too, this should be a very valuable reserve arrangement method of the Wu Clan, which is naturally more clever.

The woman was like a frightened fawn full of shyness, but a pair of slender-fitting hands tightly grasped Zheng Yan's clothes, and the two of them seemed to exert a little too much, and then they hugged each other strangely.

It's really the feeling of nephrite warm fragrance!

Zheng Yan subconsciously took a deep breath and wanted to suppress the throbbing in his heart, but it was so close that such an act was really obscene, and he hurriedly let go of the hand around the woman's waist and wanted to retreat, but the woman was still holding on tightly to her arms, raising her head shyly, a little aggrieved, "Who are you? Why did you hit me?"
