Chapter 20: The Amethyst Skull
"Ah Fei, wait a minute, let's go our separate ways, you take He Jin and Zhao Chenggang to the Rune Hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I went to the Hou Ye's Mansion alone to ask about the situation. In the evening, the post house meets. ”
When Nie Fei was looking out the window, Dongfang Jun came from the rear on horseback, it was safe all the way, and those remnants of the previous dynasty didn't seem to plan to make trouble on the way.
Nie Fei had no objection to such an arrangement.
After the team entered the city, under the escort of He Jin and Zhao Chenggang, he came to the gate of the Rune Hall for the first time.
It was a triangular house, with green tiles and red walls, and the door was wide open, except for the two guards at the door, there was no one else, and almost no one entered it.
Nie Fei didn't rush in, just stared at a guard at the door and looked carefully.
The guard looked him up and down, too.
"Little rascal?"
"Big guy!"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, like old friends who had been reunited after a long absence.
Three years ago, the two of them had indeed spent more than a month together in the Savage Mountain Range.
The big guy is indeed as his name suggests, tall and strong, almost two Nie Fei combined. For such a person, even if they get along for a day, they will still remember it vividly.
"I haven't seen you for three years, but you're a lot taller and more powerful. ”
Nie Fei patted the big man's stomach.
He can only shoot here.
The big man bent down and smiled innocently: "What about you, how can I see that your cultivation is getting worse and worse, as if you have regressed." Sorry, I'm stupid and can't speak. You don't mind. ”
"You're telling the truth, how can I mind? By the way, why isn't there a single person in the Rune Hall?"
Nie Fei changed the subject.
The big man said, "You're here for the first time." This person is in the basement, and he usually can't see him. If you walk in the door, they will greet you, and whether you can see them in their own way depends on whether you can pass their assessment. ”
"What kind of assessment?"
"The Rune Hall uses runes to meet friends, of course, to test your attainments in runes. When did you learn the runes?"
"Just learned. ”
"Huh!?"
The big guy was jaw-dropping.
Nie Fei smiled lightly, turned around and walked in the door.
"It's a pleasure to have friends from afar. Friend's name?"
As soon as I entered the door, there was a deep voice, the sound came from the underground, depending on the situation, there was a hidden mechanism in this rune hall, so that the people below could know what was happening in the hall without showing their faces, and they could also communicate.
"Don't dare to be a big name. The boy's surname is Nie, and his single name is a flying character. ”
Nie Fei responded loudly.
"If it's you! I didn't think you were still alive. ”
The man's tone was rather surprised.
"You recognized me early in the morning?"
Nie Fei asked in surprise.
The man said, "You and I have never met, and of course I will not know you." But the symbol of the Zhennan Palace, I always recognize, there are not many people who can make the two masters of the palace protect the left and right. And what has been rumored in the cultivation world recently is nothing more than the fact that the prince of Zhennan actually disobeyed the emperor's order and did not execute the underworld. I think there must be a deep friendship between you, and it makes sense to send two people to protect you when others are not around you. ”
Since the incident in the Strange Building, the fact that Dongfang Jun did not kill Nie Fei has spread rapidly, and it may not have reached the point where everyone knows about it, but the cultivation world is well-informed, and such a sensational news is completely spreading at a speed of thousands of miles a day, and there are countless people who know about it.
Nie Fei applauded: "Good eyesight." ”
The man said lukewarmly, "But I still don't see it, what are you doing in my rune hall? With your cultivation and age, it is impossible for you to have any attainments in runes." ”
Nie Fei said: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace." I came today to ask for something. But let's talk about it later. ”
The man refused, "You are now in prison, everyone avoids you, our Rune Guild has always had no quarrel with the world, and we don't want to get into trouble with you." Whatever the purpose of your visit today, we will not grant it. Please come back!"
After hearing this, Nie Fei smiled slightly and said, "Since this is the case, then don't bother." It's just that the nine seniors must take good care of that thing, so as not to be stolen by someone and cause a catastrophe full of blood. Farewell!"
This was said quite abruptly, and He and Zhao who were present were completely stunned and confused.
But the other party had already turned and walked out, and they had to follow.
The three of them have not yet crossed the threshold.
The man shouted eagerly: "Nie Gongzi stay, please come in for a while." ”
A few words can make the other party change their minds, which undoubtedly makes He and Zhao even more surprised.
As the three of them turned around, the ground shook, and a piece of floor slid away from left to right, revealing a spiral-shaped staircase that led to the underground.
The light inside was emitted by the gems embedded in the walls.
"Wait for me up there, and I'll go down alone. ”
With that, Nie Fei walked straight underground.
The floor then closes on its own.
He and Zhao stayed where they were and waited.
Walking down the stairs, Nie Fei came to a spacious basement.
The furnishings were very simple, there wasn't even a chair, and the floor was covered with paper with rune patterns, which looked cluttered.
In the center of the room, there is a large crystal ball, from which you can see everything that is happening inside and outside the hall, and hear the voices of people.
However, when Nie Fei entered the basement, an old man in black with goosebumps reached out and pressed lightly on the crystal ball, and the scene that appeared inside disappeared without a trace, and the entire crystal ball also dimmed and lost its brilliance.
Only then did Nie Fei turn his gaze and look at the nine people standing near the crystal ball.
These nine people were all elderly people, old and old, men and women, and they stared at him intently, their eyes were not friendly, and they still had a wary look on their faces.
The atmosphere was a little weird and tense.
Nie Fei walked closer and arched his hand: "The kid has seen all the seniors. ”
The crowd was silent.
The black-clothed old man stared at him and said in a deep voice: "There are many forbidden enchantments in this hall, even if you are a master of cultivation, you can't use your spiritual power to visit, Nie Gongzi is young and his cultivation is shallow, but he can get a glimpse of everything in the basement, which shows that he has a strange ability that is rare in the world." The old man admires!"
Listen to the voice, it is the same person who spoke to him before.
Nie Fei bowed and said, "This decision is really a last resort, I hope you seniors will forgive me." As for the secret of the amethyst skull, I will keep my mouth shut, and I will never reveal a word to outsiders. ”
When they heard this, everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say.
In fact, the amethyst skull is a rare treasure, but whenever it appears, it will inevitably cause an uproar and bloody rain, because it is related to the location of the place where the gods are present.
And the place of divine presence is the place where the gods descended in ancient times, and it is rumored that there are countless cultivation treasures buried there, and there are even secrets about immortality.
For tens of thousands of years, people have scrambled to find the place of divine presence, but so far, this is still just a legend, and no one has ever discovered its location.
It's just that no one can unlock the secret of the amethyst skull.
The key to unlocking the secret of the skull is to repair the runes contained in the skull.
Unfortunately, these runes are so badly damaged that they are almost impossible to restore.
But this skull has always been coveted and wanted to take it for themselves.
Nie Fei couldn't have imagined that he was lucky enough to meet him today.
Of course, this kind of secret was not discovered by himself, but Jin Lao secretly snooped on it with the Heavenly Eye, and before, the nine people in this basement were holding the amethyst skull in their hands and pondering and researching.
"Tell me, why are you here today?"
The old man in black asked bluntly.
"I want to ask my seniors to help me refine my spells. ”
Nie Fei doesn't talk nonsense.
The old man in black frowned, and thought about it: "The charm is a means to control people, don't you have a plan to help yourself get out?"
Just by the word charm, you can guess this, and it is worthy of being an old man.
Nie Fei said movingly: "It's not a secret, no one in the capital knows me, if I take someone else's corpse to impersonate, no one will find out, except for Cao Song......"
When he discovered other people's secrets, he naturally had to tell his own plans and plans, so that he could make the other party believe in himself.
After listening to what he said, the old man in black said worriedly: "Any plan will be risky, I helped you today, I am afraid that in the future, I will be angered by the emperor, and the future will be a lot of trouble." ”
Nie Fei said solemnly: "Wealth and wealth are in danger, as long as the seniors are willing to agree, they will definitely be rewarded in the future." As a sign of sincerity, I'm going to use the Amethyst Skull. ”
Suddenly, everyone was surprised and suspicious, I don't know what the hell this guy is going to do?
