Chapter 8: The Divine Mansion and the Temple

Humans were indistinguishable from other species on the continent, such as orcs, dwarves, elves, and even beasts. www.biquge.info The reason why there are so many species is divided into so many species is that each species has different evolutionary directions. For example, the evolution direction of the orcs is the flesh itself, the evolution direction of the elves is magical talent, and the evolution direction of the dwarves is to take into account both the flesh and the creative ability, mainly the physical direction. The evolutionary direction of human beings is the extreme creativity and reproductive ability, in which case human beings completely suppress all other species by numbers, coupled with group creativity, so that human beings can become the overlord of this world.

I cleaned the wounds all over my body with well water from the pharmacy I don't know how many years ago, wrapped the left eye with the gauze found in the drugstore and the herbs crushed into powder, the right cheek was also covered with adhesive tape and gauze wrapped in anti-inflammatory drugs, and the right rib was also wrapped with gauze where it was scratched by a crossbow arrow before, and the gauze that directly spared the body several times finally bandaged the wound on the right rib. As for the other minor wounds, he didn't pay much attention to them, and put on his wet clothes again, which were the same ones he had worn when he and Celelia pretended to be servants, and then again, he had not rested since then, and he had been in a state of high-intensity exercise, and he was now very tired. So he put the door panels that had been violently torn down on the ground, and removed some wood from other places and piled them up. The wet clothes that were taken off were set up next to them not far away, but then they were embarrassed, how to make a fire?

"Hey, little guy, is there any way you can set this on fire?" Shangguan Ziyang asked, pointing to the pile of wood.

"Uh...... I'll try ......" The little white tiger who had been lying on the side and watching Shangguan Ziyang work suddenly received Shangguan Ziyang's order, looked at the pile of wood, and said not very confidently. I saw that the little white tiger inhaled first, and then when Shangguan Ziyang felt that its face seemed to be suffocating red, it spit out a small ball of flames.

Although this small flame is nothing in other places, at this time, this flame saves Shangguan Ziyang a lot of trouble-fortunately, there is no need to drill wood to make a fire.

The temperature of the flame seemed to make Shangguan Ziyang's already tired body even more tired, so he lay down on the door panel, and as soon as he closed his eyes, a slight snoring sounded directly.

The seven digging knights searched for a long time around the pond before they once again found the traces left by Shangguan Ziyang.

Following the traces left by Shangguan Ziyang, the Digger Knight team found the cave where the little white tiger was, and found the body of the adult white tiger nearby. A digger knight jumped down from the back of the digger and walked over to take a look, "Is it a high-level demonic beast that I haven't seen before, a white tiger with wings?" The other digger knights also walked over and looked at it, "Yes, it is indeed a high-level demonic beast that I have never seen, at least it must be a level 5 demonic beast, but why is there a level 5 demonic beast on the periphery of the demonic beast mountain range (a fifth-level demonic beast is roughly equivalent to the strength of a human beginner to an intermediate magician)? And it died so miserably? What is it that killed this fourth-level demonic beast?" It was indeed a terrible death, and the huge wound slid directly from the right rib to the left shoulder, almost cutting the monster diagonally in half. This is a one-hit kill, which means that the strength of the guy who killed this level 5 demonic beast does not know how many times stronger than this winged adult white tiger.

"I was dead for about two days. It's a pity that the magic core is gone, and the fur is not complete, otherwise it will be sold for a good price. A Digger Knight said with regret.

"You two are here to be on guard, and the others will follow me into the cave. The leader of the Digging Ceded Knight squad ordered the two of them to be on alert, and then said to the other four: "The appearance of a level 5 demonic beast in the outer area of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range is not a good sign, we have to move quickly." Then he looked at the gloomy sky, "If you don't have a result before dark, retreat immediately, you know?"

"Yes!"

So the five digger knights went into the cave, and the cave was pitch black, and as a last resort, the five digger knights had to light torches to barely light the way.

It didn't take long for me to find a fork in the road. Previously, Shangguan Ziyang had the little white tiger leading the way, and the light in the cave was very dim, so he didn't notice that there was a fork in the road. So the five Digger Knights made a decision, went their separate ways, and marked all the way. Although it was a waste of time to explore directly like this, it was indeed a very effective method, because it was dark to finally find the gate of the huge unknown material casting of the code that Shangguan Ziyang had cracked earlier. The huge vertical cave, despite its canopy of towering trees, could not stop the torrential rain from pouring down from the gloomy sky.

"Hold the grass, I've finally found it," said the rough-looking Digger Knight, "this little girl's skin can really run!"

"But she's done it. Another Digger Knight said, "I don't believe a little girl can run far if she's badly injured." In fact, I was surprised that she could run so far. ”

"That's right. The team leader said, "Look at the flowers and mud in front of this door, it should have grown around this door, it seems that this little girl used some method to break the door and enter." Now we just need to find a way to open this door, and the bounty will be ours! Think about it, a million gold coins! Even if we deduct it from all over the place, we will have at least 100,000 gold coins! Think of the temptation that is hard to refuse!!"

"I've found something!" a creede knight pointed to the half of "Silent Night Thoughts" on the door, "There are some strange characters written here, and a few slots down there that seem to fit something?"

"Well, it seems that this is the key to opening the gate?" the team leader thought for a moment, "but I've never seen anything like this!" He turned to the others and asked, "Have you seen it?"

The other Digger Knights shook their heads, "We've never seen this kind of writing before, could this be the orc script, or the elven script?"

"No, the Elven script is not in this style, as for the Orcs...... Got words?" the team leader muttered to himself.

"There's a bunch of small squares here, I don't know if it's related to the password?" The pede-digging knight, who guessed that Shangguan Ziyang couldn't run, pointed to several large pits next to the gate, and neatly placed small squares according to a certain rule, and said, "It seems that the size matches that slot, but the number is a bit much." ”

The other four Digger Knights looked at the big pits and gasped, "It's a bit much", it's obviously "a lot", it's "a lot", isn't it? There are almost 100,000 of them! What are the kiddings? What are the odds of finding ten matching small squares from 100,000 to open the door? What's more, even if the ten small squares are taken correctly, they still don't know the order of the ten small squares. And the random order of the ten little squares is as high as ten billion possibilities!But the little girl managed to crack the code, and entered the gate, and the fresh earth and flowers that had fallen on the ground, and the miserable tree that had fallen on the ground, proved that the door had been opened not long ago.

"Whatever, let me try!" The rough-looking Cede Knight grabbed ten of those blocks and put them in the slot without thinking, and with a "click" sound, the small cube sank directly into the slot and disappeared.

The Digger Knights watched his movements, and three seconds later, something unexpected happened, the gate suddenly emitted a strong light, and suddenly hit the chest of the rough-looking Digger Knight, making the roots of everyone's teeth ache and fracture, and the huge force directly made him fly upside down, and fell hard under the vertical cave, allowing the torrential rain to wash over his body.

"Dangdangdang" was still in a shocked silence, a bit like the crisp collision of metal in the sound of heavy rain, it was so discordant. In a small hole next to the gate, the ten small squares that the rough-looking Cededer Knight had previously held slipped out of it, and "floated" to their original positions as if they had no weight, so that the 100,000 small squares were still neatly arranged.

Only then did everyone react, and they hurried over to see what was going on with the rough creede knight.

The armor on the chest of the digger knight was directly squeezed into the chest, and at this time he only had the breath out, not the air in, and finally kept spitting blood, along with the seemingly spitting out pieces of unknown objects.

"There's something weird about this door. The team leader saw that he was hopeless, and said in a dull tone, "We don't have tools now, we need to call our people over, we are here tonight, go to a few people to Dunkehui City, call more mercenaries, bring more tools, and we will directly tear down this door!" He ordered two more people, "You two take him back to the city, and see if you can still do it." ”

"Yes. The two knights also knew that this comrade was hopeless, but they still carried out the orders of their superiors.

Shangguan Ziyang, who was sleeping soundly now, didn't know that during the time she had slept, under the vertical cave outside the gate where "Silent Night Thoughts" was written, a large number of mercenaries and imperial digger knights had gathered.

The next day, the torrential rain had stopped, and the sunlight from the vertical cave shone through the gaps between the canopies of the towering trees, and the fresh air brought by the deep forest was refreshing. If you ignore the noise of hundreds of humans gathered in this cave, it must be a good morning.

"In the past, this was one of the forbidden places for mercenaries on the periphery, and there were still living mercenaries who basically didn't enter this area, but I didn't expect the owner of this forbidden place to die, and there was such a place?

"Isn't it, it is said that the city lord of Dunkehui City said today that the commission for working here is one gold coin a day!

"But the Imperial Most Wanted Criminal, who was said to be a wanted criminal in the Empire, offered a reward of one million gold coins, seems to have something to do with this?"

"Whatever, take the money to do things, and leave when you're done. If there is such a good thing, it will still be our turn? It has already been divided up by the corrupt officials of the empire, believe it or not, even if you catch the wanted criminal, and the final bounty is only a few hundred gold coins, you still have to work so hard!"

"That's right. ”

"Makes sense. ”

“......”

“......”

When Shangguan Ziyang woke up, he felt more energetic, and it seemed that the wounds on his body were not so painful. The little white tiger next to him was playing like a kitten with the spherical crystal of an unknown substance that emitted a faint light that Shangguan Ziyang had picked up from the corpse pit where the wolves were fighting, and was about the size of his own fist.

The original pile of firewood in the pharmacy had been burned to ashes, and Shangguan Ziyang touched the clothes he had taken off, seeing that they had already been roasted dry. Now I am not in the mood to feel if my body is any different from my original self, but it is time to think about how I got out, although Shangguan Ziyang is not worried that the door with ancient poems will be broken open - if someone really cracks it, then he will definitely ask this person for contact information.

Putting on a little torn clothes, tying the long sword around his waist, and then carrying two crossbows with one long and one short on his back, Shangguan Ziyang was ready to find an exit, he would not stay in this inexplicable place for the rest of his life. Before leaving, I brought some more herbs with me.

Walking out of the door of the pharmacy and looking up, it still looks like a sky full of "stars", all of which are created by the illusion of glowing gems set on the top of the rock. Looking at this "moon" simulated with a huge moonstone in the "night sky", Shangguan Ziyang asked the little white tiger who was still playing with crystals, "How long have I slept?"

"I don't know. Little White Tiger's answer made Shangguan Ziyang feel as if he was talking nonsense. "It's a long, long time, anyway. ”

"Nonsense!" Shangguan Ziyang was very dissatisfied, and he woke up naturally after sleeping, of course, it was a long, long time, and you still need to emphasize it? Shangguan Ziyang ignored the little white tiger and walked forward directly. The little white tiger also followed behind with a crystal in his mouth.

"Master, you actually have the magic core of a level 8 demonic beast! can you give it to me to play with?" The little white tiger put the spherical crystal on his head, and asked Shangguan Ziyang, and a pair of big eyes began to sell cuteness.

"Just that thing on your head?" Shangguan Ziyang's one-eyed glance at the cute little white tiger who was selling, "I'll give it to you if I want, it's useless to me anyway...... Because this thing has killed so many wolves, it's probably not a good thing, so I'll give it to you if you want to. ”

"Thank you, master! This is the magic core of a level 8 earth-based jungle demon wolf, and it is understandable that it is scrambled by so many jungle demon wolves, after all, for Warcraft, strong enough strength is a certificate to be able to survive, and it is a guarantee to be able to inherit one's genes!" The little white tiger began to show his knowledge again, "And the magic core is one, the crystallization of the strength of Warcraft's life, it has the strongest magic power in its life, and the stored magic power can be absorbed by magicians or used for other purposes through guidance." The point is that after the mana is depleted, it can be refilled after a period of idleness. Therefore, magic cores have always been so popular in the human world! Not only mages, but also in many scientific and technological machinery and manufacturing industries, magic cores will also be used in large quantities, because magic cores can be recycled, but magic crystals cannot. ”

Although Shangguan Ziyang didn't care at all about what the so-called magic core and magic crystal were, he casually asked, "Then what are you demon beasts fighting for the magic core for?"

"Of course I ate ......it," the little white tiger suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said very aggrievedly, "God, do you want to withdraw your blessing on our White Tiger and let us turn back into ordinary demonic beasts?"

"How many times have I told you! I'm not the god you call me!!, you drop, understand?" Shangguan Ziyang said very unhappily, because she felt that after being called the so-called "god" a few more times, she seemed to have become a god stick for all kinds of street swaggering.

Shangguan Ziyang walked towards the center of the city, because she remembered that there were some buildings in the center of the city that were marked in red on the three-dimensional structure map, and she didn't know what the situation was, but her intuition told her that if she wanted to go out, she still had to go to the area marked in red.

The city is so quiet that there is no living thing. Originally, Shangguan Ziyang wanted to see if there was a house where there was a change of clothes, but Shangguan Ziyang was disappointed, because it was too old, except for the herbs and some gauze in the pharmacy, which were preserved in a special way, other fabrics and other fabrics turned into ashes almost as soon as they were touched.

"Master, this pendant of yours is a good thing!" Xiao Baihu said to Shangguan Ziyang while playing with the so-called level 8 magic core.

"Pendant?" Shangguan Ziyang looked at his chest, it was the red crystal pendant that Telly gave him, I don't know why, the color of this pendant is much darker now than when Teli just gave it to him. "What does this mean?" Shangguan Ziyang was a little surprised, the little white tiger suddenly took the initiative to say that this was a good thing?

"It is a red crystal with magical power, which can provide a lot of life force to the wearer, and the most important thing is that if the carrier is injured or sick, this red crystal will temporarily transfer most of the damage suffered by the owner to himself, so the pain will be reduced a lot when he is sick or injured, and even when he is fatally injured, he will save a life! So, sometimes this is a life-saving artifact, and if the damage to your eye hadn't been blocked by this red crystal, maybe your left eye would have been completely gone, not just a skin injury. ”

Shangguan Ziyang silently looked at this much dimmer red crystal for a while, not knowing what to say in his heart. The pendant that Terry gave himself was really precious, no wonder he felt that his already weak body was even weaker when he gave the pendant to himself. And this is the only relic of his mother...... Shangguan Ziyang clenched the red crystal in his hand, Tai Li, I owe you a favor, how can you tell me to pay it back? It's disgusting, although I look like ten little loli, but I'm really a straight man! Forget it, I don't want to, let's talk about this later, solve the matter in front of me first, and get out of here.

After walking for a long time in the empty city, Shangguan Ziyang finally came to the building in the center of the city.

This should be a building similar to the Castle Lord's Mansion, and in terms of the momentum of the building, the scale of this building is the largest in the entire complex.

This building, which resembles the castle lord's mansion, has a plaque hanging on it with two words written on it: "Divine Mansion".

"Shenfu?!" Shangguan Ziyang was speechless, there were people who were so narcissistic and called themselves "gods"?

However, this building is indeed domineering, and the tall building gives people a sense of insignificance that arises spontaneously from the heart, and makes people feel the urge to bow down. From this point of view, it seems understandable to call it "God's house"?

Walking into this "Divine Mansion" that caused great psychological pressure on people, Shangguan Ziyang searched for information about this "Divine Mansion" in his brain.

The east, south, west, north and center of the "Divine Mansion" are divided into five building complexes, with the Green Dragon in the east, the White Tiger in the west, the Suzaku in the south, and the Xuanwu in the north. In the center is the "Temple".

However, the buildings marked in red are only the central ones, so Shangguan Ziyang came directly to the central "temple", and there was a huge statue erected in the "temple", the statue was the appearance of an oriental, dressed like the Chinese Zhou Dynasty nobles, his face was damaged for unknown reasons, and he didn't know what he looked like.

"God! It's really a statue of God!" the little white tiger couldn't help himself with excitement when he saw this statue, "I really saw God!"

Although it was shocking to see this huge statue at first sight, Shangguan Ziyang didn't pay too much attention to this huge statue, according to the information on the scroll, Shangguan Ziyang came behind this huge statue, and saw a door on the base of the statue that seemed to require a password to open.

It's just that this time the password is not like the previous two times to find the character small square inserted into the slot to unlock the password, but there is a thing similar to a computer keyboard that looks like it is one with the base and the same material as the base, when Shangguan Ziyang pressed the keyboard, suddenly the base in front of him shot out a light, forming a three-dimensional map in mid-air.

The three-dimensional picture is the appearance of a man, Shangguan Ziyang found that this man and the statue on the pedestal in front of him were the same kind of clothing, although it was just a guess, it seemed to be ...... It's the same thing?

However, this statue actually said something that shocked Shangguan Ziyang extremely:

"Welcome, I didn't expect that I had waited for so many years, and I really waited for the Chinese people from the earth!"
