Drop by drop, it was the water droplets formed by the melting of the ice that fell to the ground, and it was the blood flowing from the cut of the red wolf's broken tail. With the passage of time, Xiao Xing's drooping neck, which was leaning on Jiang Wangchen's book, no longer had the strength to breathe, so he could only open his mouth without a trace of vitality. And the piece of ice that it had hugged before had melted and was only a palm-sized block of ice, which was being held in Xiaoxing's mouth at this time.

Jiang Wangchen was extremely anxious, his pace quickened, and after walking most of the way, he could finally see the outer wall of Azi City in the distance.

"Master, quickly take Xiaoxing to the holy pool behind the temple, the water of the ice veins in the holy pool can cool Xiaoxing. Yuezhen woke up at some point and said, "Master, put me down! I can walk by myself now......

"After the temple?" After Jiang Wangchen put Yue Zhen down, he wondered, "Isn't that the holy place that you heavily guarded?"

"Master doesn't know, in another week will be the biggest 'sacrifice night' ceremony of the Yuena tribe, and at this time the temple is open to the people of the Yuena tribe, and I know that there is a secret passage that can bypass the field of vision of the patrol guards and enter the holy place on the inner layer of the temple. ”

Jiang Wangchen was still skeptical, and asked, "Are you sure? You can avoid the patrolling guards." ”

Yue Zhen said categorically: "Please rest assured, master, that secret road, I only went to get holy water two days ago and decocted medicine for my father!"

"Okay, then you lead the way. ”

When Yue Zhenshun passed by the house, he put the dry lotus away, and walked towards the temple with Jiang Wangchen non-stop. He was already familiar with the streets and alleys of Az, and before turning a few alleys, he took a shortcut to the temple, which was located on a high ground north of Az City, overlooking the entire city of Az, and even Dongxuan, the temple was made of stone masonry, and on the lowest terrace, the towering stone pillars, evenly distributed, all of which were majestic, and this was the outer temple, at this moment, many men, women, and children were dressing up the temple, or dusting the stone pillars, or replacing them with new lamp oil, or resting on the broken steps, and all this was not prepared for the ceremony a week later。

Jiang Wangchen and his entourage hid behind the huge stone pillars, even if it was only an outer temple, non-Yuenai people were not allowed to trespass. There was a drunk tourist before, and he didn't know how to bypass the guards to enter the inner layer, but when he was found the next day, there was only a pile of bones left, or the gold necklace on the cervical vertebrae, to determine the identity, since the news spread, even without the supervision of the guards, the traveler did not dare to cross the thunder pool half a step.

Although the structure of the temple is magnificent and huge, the stone pillars in the temple are like a forest, and the light is dim next to the two stone windows, which makes people feel depressed.

It happened that this season, the water source dried up, and there was no rain for a long time, and there was no water in the underground drainage ditch of the temple, but the humidity was extremely heavy, and under the blazing sun, it was hot and embarrassing.

It is said to be a drain, more like a road, when this temple was built, the climate and environment here must have been rich in water, but the vicissitudes of the sea, time has changed.

The corridor is dim, extending somewhere, but Yuezhen is confident, and between several complex detours, it is constantly approaching the inner layer of the temple, but in the sultry corridor, Xiaoxing's state has taken a sharp turn, and his eyes have been slowly closed, and he doesn't even have the strength to open his mouth.

Jiang Wangchen asked softly, "How long will it take?"

Yuezhen quickened his pace and said, "A few more big turns will be here." ”

After he finished speaking, he made a boo movement, and everyone stopped, not daring to move, and listened carefully, in addition to the water vapor sliding off the stone wall of the Yongdao, there was also a regular footsteps, getting closer and closer, and then gradually moving away.

Yuezhen held her breath, and after the sound was gone, she set off again.

"You don't know, the inner patrols all have Kpu wolves, and they have a very keen sense of hearing. Ten meters away, as long as there is any abnormal noise, it can be detected. Yuezhen explained.

Then the three of them made a few big turns and forks, and finally reached the end of the road. A stone wall cut off the road ahead, but at the top, there was a new exit, there was a square barbed wire at the top of the road, the wire had already rusted, the moon was really lightly topped, pieces of new embroidery fell, and the iron net was loosened and moved. Yuezhen probed the probe, and the walls were silent. No one inside the altar is allowed to enter without the permission of the Grand Wizard. But Yuezhen didn't have a choice, he needed the spiritual water in the altar to boil medicine for his father, so he also came a few times, but no one found out, he knew that this was a blasphemy of faith, but faith was not precious to a poor child from a poor family.

Yuezhen held the stone slab with both hands, his body was exposed, and he walked out of the corridor and stood in the corner of the inner temple where the altar was located.

Hua Youyou and Jiang Wangchen also followed. Looking around, this temple is simple in shape, in the form of a perfect circle, and is built with stone bricks. The roof is covered with a huge dome, with only a hole in the very center from which the sunlight pours in. The five giant stone pillars in the hall are distributed at equal angles, and the reliefs on the stone pillars have been seriously eroded by the years, and the original appearance of the pattern can not be seen clearly, but the rough and willful lines still reveal a majestic and magnificent posture. Only the ever-bright lamp on the stone pillar is still lit day and night regardless of the time and the sand river.

Yue Zhen pointed to the altar in the center of the temple, a pool of milky white spiritual water, as quiet as ice, a layer of faint mist lingering on the pool, and said, "That's spiritual water!"

Yuezhen reminded: "You follow me and follow my steps!"

Jiang and Hua listened to his reminder, and looked at the stone slab at their feet, densely painted with complex lines and arcs.

Yuezhen took a step, stepping on a stone slab full of different thicknesses and crisscrossing lines, he paused for a moment, closed his eyes and meditated, and after a while, opened his eyes, strode over a stone slab on the left, and jumped towards a stone slab farther away...... Jiang and Hua didn't understand the mystery and followed silently. In this way, after stepping on twenty-five stone slabs in the middle of the moon, he finally arrived at the center of the altar.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiang Wangchen immediately put down the little star who had passed out and gently put it into the spirit pool.

As soon as Xiaoxing submerged in the pool, the whole body was relaxed and spread out, it slowly sank, when the body was all submerged in the spiritual water, and then suspended in the water, the spiritual water continued to wash its burning skin, it even instinctively opened its mouth, swallowed the spiritual water, the heat in the internal organs was poured into the cold rush, after the moisturizing of the spiritual water, slowly cooled down, it lay lazily in the water, when the burning sensation faded little by little, the will to stay was finally relaxed, and it floated in the water, and fell asleep quietly.

Seeing that Xiaoxing was no longer in trouble, the tired three people collapsed on the altar.

Yuezhen got up and clasped her head and said, "Thank you Master and Master for your help, Yuezhen will definitely remember it." ”

Hua Youyou smiled from ear to ear: "Young man, you can really talk!"

Jiang Wangchen coughed dryly and said, "This one is not your master...... According to the generation, you should call Uncle Shi. ”

Yuezhen was clubbed awkwardly.

"What uncle, it's hard to hear, just call me Sister Youyou. Hua Youyou smiled and said, "Yuezhen, how did you know about this secret path." ”

"It was the patriarch who taught me, and he knew that my father was seriously ill and needed this spiritual water to replenish his qi, but he couldn't break the rules, so he told me secretly. ”

"Xiaoxing soaking in the spirit pool like this, will it affect the spirit pool and the ritual you said?"

"No, let's rest for a while and leave here, we won't find anything, besides, this spiritual water can only be enjoyed by the next great wizard, and after my father has a dry lotus, he doesn't need this spiritual water, it doesn't matter. Yue Zhen said a little longingly: "Master, when can you teach me swordsmanship, just now your last sword that pierced the red wolf, it is really like a sword god descending to earth, I can see my heart!"

Jiang Wangchen said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will copy a copy of the sword book for you, which will be counted as a reward for your successful hunting this time, but don't forget what you promised at the beginning." ”

Yuezhen was overjoyed, her eyes smiled like crescents, and she nodded vigorously.

After a while, Jiang Wangchen took Xiaoxing away, and everyone turned back.

After everyone is gone.

In the temple, a secret door turned, the stone wall separated, and two old men walked out, one is the recent sentimental patriarch Gu Xun, and the other is the great wizard of the Eternal Night Sect, Gu Xuanhui, he is full of silver hair, rickety, holding an ordinary wooden cane, standing tremblingly beside the patriarch, and Gu Xun's old dragon bell forms an extremely sharp contrast, as if as long as there is a gust of wind, it can blow him down, and a ray of sunlight can turn him into dust.

Gu Xun said: "How about it, the young man I recommended to you is good." ”

Gu Xuan nodded and said, "It's really good, he has a talent for elemental perception, but his heart is even more rare." ”

Gu Xun asked, "Then it's decided?"

Gu Xuan didn't agree, but changed the topic and said, "What do you think of those two Anda!"

"It should be good to let Yuezhen, a stinky boy, apprentice convincingly!"

"It's really good!" Gu Xuan sighed, "It's a pity......"

Gu Xun looked at Gu Xun suspiciously, and said, "What is a pity?"

"It's a pity that this pool of spiritual water was taken by that black dog to take a bath......"

"You'll have bad times, too!" Gu Xun laughed, his laughter was still there, his smile was gone, and he said, "This year in Az City is really eventful!"

"What about you, have you found someone to inherit?"

"It was a good candidate. Gu Xun said in frustration: "But, after this series of events happened, I began to hesitate. ”

"Do you mean Yuefeng?" Gu Xuan said: "You can't blame him entirely, you and I are both responsible, this Ayukuka City, has been silent for too long." ”

"yes...... It was centuries before the last time there was a stir in the city of Az. Gu Xun sighed, and remembered again: "Mu Bai also came to Azi City two days ago. Do you want to see him? ”

Gu Xuan snorted coldly: "Has his temper changed?"

Gu Xun laughed dryly twice and did not answer.

Gu Xuan said: "No, no, lest I be ridiculed by him again." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand with Gu Xun, holding his cane, like a speck of dust, silently, and returned to the stone wall.
