Chapter 286: Patterns and Divine Sources
The ancient city is divided in two by a dead river, the outer city and the inner city.
In front of the arch bridge, there was an empty dark clearing, and Yan Qing, the Fourteenth Master and others stood in the clearing. In front of the clearing, there was a wall and a gate.
When Yan Qing, the Fourteenth Master and the Little Dragon Girl were looking at the inner city, they heard a sound of footsteps coming from far and near. The neat and orderly footsteps came out of the inner city, not in a hurry or slow.
A group of ghost soldiers walked out of the inner city.
At this time, Yan Qing and the others immediately retreated and retreated far away, not daring to meet that group of ghost soldiers. After the group of ghost soldiers left, several people returned to the gate of the inner city and looked carefully.
Since they were outside the inner city, they couldn't see through the gates to see the situation inside, so they still didn't know anything about the inner city.
"I feel that the Xuanwu Hexagram is inside. At this time, Yan Qing said to the little dragon girl.
"I feel it too. ”
The little dragon girl nodded, and her face finally showed some joy.
"However, the old man always feels that the inner city is not simple, it seems that there is some terrifying existence in it......" The fourteenth master shook his head and said, then his eyes fell on the city gate, and then he looked up at the sky, always a little worried.
"We have come this far, can we still retreat? Moreover, we have no way back. Yan Qing said, speaking of which, for this "Xuanwu Painting Hexagram", it is almost nine deaths.
It's already in front of you, how can you give up.
Those who travel a hundred miles, half ninety.
"Xuanwu Hexagram, what the hell is this?"
The crow asked curiously, after all, it should be a good thing to be worthy of Yan Qing and Xiaolongnu to pay such a big price, risking their lives to take it. Even when the little fox heard this, he pricked up his ears, as if he had seen a treasure, and his eyes were faintly excited.
"A mastery that lights up the dantian. Yan Qing smiled and said.
"Cut, I thought it was a treasure, but it turned out to be just an exercise. The crow was disappointed, and then said to the little fox, "Little one, let's go treasure hunting......
"Babbling ......"
The little fox waved his little paws, his eyes full of excitement and impatience.
Quack –
The crow screamed, and then led the little fox towards the city gate, and quickly disappeared into the gate. Yan Qing was silent for a moment and also walked into the city gate.
"Yan boy, are you really going?" the fourteenth master followed.
The little dragon girl didn't speak, but also followed, walking together in this ghost place is better than acting alone. After passing through the city gate, everyone saw a walled wall, which was high into the black clouds, leaving only an alley three zhang wide.
These walls form a square castle.
"The architecture here is very strange. ”
Yan Qing looked at a castle and said, this castle is about more than 20 zhang long, five or six zhang wide, and four or four square. Standing under this blocked city wall, I feel extremely depressed, and it is more terrifying than the back hall of the ancient house.
"It looks like a coffin. The crow walking in front said suddenly.
Yan Qing and the Fourteenth Master glanced at each other, and when they saw the square castles, they also felt that they were coffins, and they couldn't help but feel creepy.
At this time, the little dragon girl suddenly stopped in front of a city wall, and her eyes were looking carefully. The walls are dark black in color as a whole, with some ancient motifs carved on them.
There are sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, birds, beasts, fish and insects, human geography......
The lines are very rough and simple, just a few strokes. However, these patterns have been sketched out in a few strokes, in line with the style of the evil ghosts on the arched bridge.
It seems to be the same hand.
Yan Qing also walked to the city wall, carefully observed these ancient patterns, and said after observing some of them: "This seems to be a portrayal of ancient times, and its layout is a bit like the Qingming Shanghe map......"
The Fourteenth Master also observed these patterns, but after watching them for a while, he was no longer interested, but mingled with the crow and the little fox, hiding in the corner of the wall and whispering.
"Dead old man, do you want to dig a grave?" the crow said in surprise.
"Digging a grave?"
The Fourteenth Master glared for a moment, and then his gaze fell on the castles one by one, and said, "Dead Crow, are you really sure this is a tomb?"
"What else could it be but a grave?"
The crow asked rhetorically, and then looked at the fourteenth master with some contempt, "Don't you dare, old man, I see that there are a lot of things in your arms, all of which are dug out of the ground, why are you afraid of coming here?"
"Hehe, dead crow, are you using the agitation method?" The Fourteenth Master looked at the crow with disdain, and said after a moment of silence, "It's very strange here, it's not so easy to dig a grave. ”
"Cut, which tomb is not weird, can you find one to show this one?" said the crow.
"Let the old man think about it. "The Fourteenth Master is very scruples about this dead city in his heart, if he is not forced to do so, he will not walk in. Now not only did he come in, but he also had the idea of digging a grave.
Alas, this is a dangerous idea.
The fourteenth master's heart was struggling, and then he looked at the crow with a playful look, and said angrily: ", five or five accounts." ”
"Good. ”
The crow and the fourteenth master clapped their hands.
"Babbling babbling...... The little fox suddenly stopped, feeling that the two of them had abandoned him, and he was so excited and enthusiastic......
Yan Qing frowned and looked at the people, birds and beasts under the corner, and when she saw their sneaky figures, she knew that they had bad intentions. However, I didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to observe the patterns on the city walls, and the more I looked, the more I felt that I knew about that ancient era.
It was a fabulous world, full of mysteries.
Moreover, I feel that this will be of unexpected help to my practice.
The patterns on the city wall looked very scattered and scattered, but after Yan Qing looked at more than a dozen pictures in a row, he found that it was not what he imagined.
They seem to be one and the same, but they are just divided.
The more she watched, the slower Yan Qing's speed became, and she gradually felt that her energy was low and she was consuming too much energy. As for why she has been looking at these patterns, it is because Yan Qing feels the clues of "Xuanwu Painting Hexagram", which are hidden in these patterns.
Moreover, the little dragon girl was also observing carefully, which also showed that his feelings were not wrong.
After resting for a while, Yan Qing watched carefully, not only watching, but also carefully remembering these patterns in her heart.
The more you look at it, the bigger the picture you put together in your mind.
A mountain range, a forest, a river, a city, a village......
At this time, Yan Qing also vaguely knew that if she wanted to get the clues of "Xuanwu Painting Hexagram", she had to write down all the patterns here.
This is a huge undertaking because there are countless walls here, and each wall has a pattern carved on it.
The seventy-eighth pattern is a wild place.
The seventy-ninth is a vast ocean.
The eightieth is a small village......
Yan Qing didn't know how long she had been looking at it before she saw the eightieth one, and she didn't know how many patterns there were behind.
When I think of this huge amount of work, I can't help but feel a big head.
When he saw the ninetieth piece, the fourteenth master suddenly appeared beside him, pulled him and ran madly to the side.
"How?"
Yan Qing looked at those patterns and felt a little dizzy, and she didn't react for a while, and her tone was a little displeased.
"Something horrible came in. The Fourteenth Master said with a frown.
"What kind of scary thing?" Yan Qing also came to his senses.
"You know when you see it. At this time, the Fourteenth Master had already brought Yan Qing to a safe place, and the little dragon girl, the crow, and the little fox were also here.
Da, da, da......
A neat and orderly footstep streaked by, accompanied by a cloud of billowing dead air, but this group of ghost soldiers was a little different. The ghost soldier at the front of the line held a round fiery red thing in his hand, and a raging flame burned on it.
A majestic aura permeated.
When everyone saw the fiery red thing, they were also a little curious.
"This thing is very familiar, it seems to have seen it somewhere......" The Fourteenth Master said with a frown, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Hey, I think I've seen this thing too. The crow also said with some doubts.
Yan Qing didn't know this thing, so she didn't have any interest in it, and at this time, the group of ghost soldiers walked to a castle and stopped. Then, seeing them perform some strange rituals, he put the round and fiery thing into the wall.
"Well, what are they doing here? But that thing has a lot of power......," said the crow.
At this time, the Fourteenth Master suddenly trembled, and said with excitement on his face: "The old man knows what it is." ”
"It's something, and this seat feels a little familiar. Raven asked.
"That's the legendary Divine Source, yes, it's the Divine Source. The Fourteenth Master said in a suppressed voice, looking extremely excited.
"Divine Origin?"
The crow was stunned, and then suddenly realized, "No wonder, it turned out to be a divine source, this is a good thing......"
"Divine Origin?"
Yan Qing glanced at the Fourteenth Master and the crow, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Good stuff. ”
The Fourteenth Master and the Crow said in unison.
"Where did they find the Divine Source?" the crow said in confusion, and at this time, the fiery red Divine Source had slowly embedded itself in the city wall and disappeared.
"Outside outside. The Fourteenth Master said softly, speaking very confusedly, and seemed to have some scruples.
The crow was stunned, remembering the black mountains in the field of the Tomb of the Gods and Demons, and then his face changed greatly, and he said in horror: "They dare to do this, aren't they afraid of heavenly punishment?"
When they first came, the crows and little foxes had nothing to do, and they scraped through the black mountains.
"Could it be that this divine source was planted?" At this time, Yan Qing also vaguely guessed that the Gods and Demons Tomb Field was breeding terrifying things with gods and demons as seeds.
Could it be that this terrible thing refers to this divine source?
