In front of me is a stone statue in the shape of a woman, lifelike and beautifully carved. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xiyun has seen her appearance more than once, this is clearly the stone statue of the kite, but compared to the one she has seen in the illusion, the stone statue carved by her looks more mature, and there is a touch of indescribable charm.

His eyes swept around, this place was like a basement, no sunlight, only lit by candle flames, and there was no one except him, he vaguely remembered that before he fell into the illusion, he seemed to have walked into that room, I am afraid that the place where he is now is the place where the room really leads after breaking the illusion array.

"Wu Yu, are they still in the backyard of the minister's mansion, I hope they don't have an accident......" He looked behind him, and sure enough, he saw the stone steps leading to the high place, and he was more sure of his thoughts.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to go up immediately, but to investigate the chamber first, after all, what he had just said had made him gradually guess some truths, and he now needed to verify his thoughts.

Although it may be very dangerous to be alone, after all, there are all the people of the courtier family hidden here, including the head of the courtier's family, the minister.

Perhaps, he should be called to be punished.

Zhang Xiyun looked at the stone statue, speechless for a long time, his eyes flickering.

"Ji Bofu, the righteous son of Youwang, but he killed the descendants of the divine beasts of the Great Zhou Zhenguo, changed his name and surname, his original surname is Hi, and he respects the spirit of the beacon fire more, and the relationship is really interesting...... "He muttered in a low voice, and then took a step and walked past the stone statue.

Behind the stone statue, there is still a passage, and I don't know where to go.

Amu cried twice, followed Zhang Xiyun, and walked into the passage together.

Candles are lit every short distance in the passage, and the passage is not too long, but you can't see the exit.

Zhang Xiyun narrowed his eyes slightly, the golden light in his eyes danced, looked at the exit, and then frowned, he used his delusional eyes, but it was also as if he was isolated by some kind of power, and it was difficult to see the way forward.

Amu's eyes were puzzled, and when he saw Zhang Xiyun's solemn expression, it fell on Zhang Xiyun's shoulder, wrapped around his neck, and set up camp comfortably.

Zhang Xiyun didn't care, just patted Amu's head and said, "There are many dangers ahead, be careful." ”

With that, he walked forward, and there was an occasional breeze blowing through the passage, but there was no candle flame flickering.

Suddenly, there was a snap, Zhang Xiyun stopped, his brows furrowed again, he seemed to have stepped on water?

He looked down, and by the faint light of the candle, he saw a pool of dark red blood under his feet.

Zhang Xiyun looked at the blood stains under his feet, the blood stains actually flowed out along the front exit to his feet, he looked at it, the blood was thick and dark red, as if it had been separated for a long time, and it was not like the blood of a person.

He narrowed his eyes, bypassed the pool of blood, and walked towards the exit.

Before he had gone far, he smelled a smell of blood, and when he was about to reach the end, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, even a little pungent, and even Amu raised his head and looked vigilant.

Zhang Xiyun could no longer get around the pool of blood, the blood was already all over the ground, and he stepped on the bloody water and walked out of the passage.

Outside the passage was also a basement, even exactly the same as the one he had just walked into the passage, except that the stone statue was missing, but there were some other ......

For example, corpses all over the ground.

Quirky altars.

Zhang Xiyun looked around, wisps of essence flashed in his narrowed eyes, and his golden eyes flowed.

Corpses surrounded the altar and collapsed to the ground, no wounds in sight on the corpses, blood flowing from the seven orifices, and even more strangely, there seemed to be a smile on their faces.

Amu stood up from Zhang Xiyun's neck, flapped his wings and flew up, let out a cry, and flew towards the altar.

"Amu, come back!" Zhang Xiyun said in a deep voice.

Amu looked at it and flew back to Zhang Xiyun's side, crying from time to time.

The death of these people in front of him was really weird, Zhang Xiyun had to act cautiously, used the method of destroying delusion, and looked at the altar.

"Sure enough, there is a strange ......" Zhang Xiyun sneered, he saw a strange fluctuation flowing throughout the altar, like a fairy qi, but it was plausible, revealing a bloody intent.

"Before he died, he talked about the sacrificial array, could it be that this strange altar is not successful?" he secretly thought in his heart, and looked at those dead people again, he had seen the clothes worn by these dead people, on the guards of the courtiers.

"The courtiers died here......" he squinted, flipped his hand and condensed his soul sword, walking towards the corpses around the altar.

Zhang Xiyun looked around, and there were about twenty corpses on the ground, all of which were bleeding to death from the Seven Orifices, and the death was strange.

The soul sword in his hand lightly picked at one of the corpses, and a stream of blood qi surged up, condensing into a blood mist!

Zhang Xiyun hurriedly took a few steps back, watching the blood mist slowly rise, as if attracted by the altar, surrounding the stone bottle in the center of the altar, and gradually blending into it.

"This altar is a ...... that devours blood?" Zhang Xiyun hesitated, the blood on the altar was supposed to be made by absorbing blood, how many people had to die to form such a thick blood?

He noticed again that this place was at the end, and there was no way out after the altar, but he did not see the rest of the courtiers except for the dead courtiers, and where had they gone?

"Could it be that there is still a way out on the altar?" Zhang Xiyun said secretly in his heart, and then his eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and waved his sword to slash away, and a blood-colored sword shadow slashed towards the altar!

The blood on the altar was instantly sheng, and the sword qi was chopped down, and it was entangled in the blood mist, dispersing the sword qi into invisible, and even the blood in the sword shadow seemed to be swallowed by the altar!

Zhang Xiyun was not much surprised, this altar was extraordinary, and the formation was even more good, it would be difficult to cause damage with his sword, but he didn't expect that this altar could even devour the blood and qi of the trapped immortal sword.

"If you want to see what is going on, it seems that you have to climb this altar and look at it yourself. ”

Zhang Xiyun kicked lightly, his body as light as a swallow, and flew towards the altar standing high in the center, and Amu followed closely behind.

The blood mist on the altar surged towards them, Zhang Xiyun slashed a sword diagonally, and several sword qi split the blood mist, rushed towards the altar, and slashed on the altar stone bottle, leaving no trace.

Zhang Xiyun swung a few more swords, the sword aura was majestic, constantly dispelling the blood mist, Amu cried loudly, and actually set off a gust of wind, and at the same time blew away the blood mist, Zhang Xiyun's side sword shadow hung upside down, he pressed his sword finger, a sword shadow to his feet, he stepped on the sword body, stepped on the sword and walked.

A moment later, his body flashed and landed right on the altar.

"Is this ......?" the vision made him stunned.

On the stone bottle in the center of the altar, there are complicated array diagrams, and they are hollowed, and there is blood and water flowing in them, outlining the entire array, and even the entire stone bottle is probably hollow, and the bottom is connected to the entire altar, in other words, maybe the whole altar is also hollow, and it is full of devouring blood, which turns into blood and water and fills every part of the altar.

Zhang Xiyun moved his steps, but he noticed that something was wrong under his feet, so he looked down carefully, and found that the ground of the entire altar was also engraved with complicated array diagrams.

"It's a pity that I don't know how to ...... formation" Zhang Xiyun was annoyed, if he could learn the sporadic formation with Zhou Xuan back then, he would not be able to infer the purpose of this array, but now he is helpless.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and there was an old book on the altar that looked yellowed.

He looked closer, and the word "genealogy" was faintly written on the ancient book.

Zhang Xiyun was stunned for a moment, but then his expression moved, and he wanted to take the ancient book, but as soon as his body moved, he paused again, worried that there was fraud in it, so he lightly picked the ancient book with the soul sword in his hand and opened it.

On the first page of the ancient book, there is only one person's name, but it is enough to make Zhang Xiyun's expression change greatly.

"Kite. ”

There is a record below it, the ancestor of the Ji family, the spirit of the beacon fire, is more graceful than the sky.

It's only twelve words, but it can already explain too many things, this ancient book is probably the genealogy of the Chen family, that is to say, the Chen family knows about the kite at all!

The entire Ji family actually respected Ji Kite as an ancestor, so what they planned was......

Zhang Xiyun held his mind and turned to the next page, this time it was a person he had just learned existed.

"Hi Sin. ”

Zhang Xiyun looked at the life recorded under his name and couldn't help but gasp.

"The orphans of Baocheng, respect the spirit of the beacon fire as the mother, the wish of the mother, willing to recognize the righteous son of the king of Zhou You, change his name to Ji Bofu, after the sect cut down the merchants, build a sacrificial array, Dingchi Mountain, and then change the surname to the minister. ”

Zhang Xiyun turned the pages one by one, all of them were the names of the people of the Ji family, and he even saw the courtier An who was pardoned by Gaozu and named the general of Zhenwai in the past.

It is recorded as "Ji Zi'an, from then on, the sacrificial array is running, the big event is about to start, enter the Han Dynasty as a minister, and finally win the trust of the Han Gaozu, as the lord of Chishan City, and control the overall situation." ”

I'm afraid that what the courtier's family is doing now is planning since Ji Bofu began, and it ended in the hands of the current head of the family.

His heart was shaken, but he still patiently turned the book again, until at the end, his eyes flashed, and a page of this genealogy was torn off.

From beginning to end, he did not see the name of a very important person, the current city lord, and he was punished!

"This torn page of the book must be a punishment...... Zhang Xiyun wondered, why should the page that recorded the punishment be torn off, unless all the truth is recorded on it!

Although at this moment, he had already guessed a lot, and even dared to say that he was close to the truth, but he didn't know the most important thing, what was the purpose of this so-called sacrificial array?

Just as he was thinking, Amu suddenly turned around, looked at the passage, and let out a soft sound.

Zhang Xiyun's ears moved, and he also heard movement in the passage, as if many people were tiptoeing in.

"Is it the minister's family or the ......" His breath was running, his soul sword was beside him, and the sword qi in his hand had already condensed.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and he was on top of the altar, and the blood mist actually affected his divine sense, making it difficult to distinguish who was coming.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and only a voice came and exclaimed, "It's human blood!"

Zhang Xiyun was stunned, this voice was Cui Fang!

Unexpectedly, it was them who came in, he restrained his breath and shouted, "Brother Cui!"

Everyone outside was stunned for a moment when they heard the sound, and then several voices sounded at the same time.

"Xiyun!?"

"Brother Zhang!?"

Zhang Xiyun breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the voices of Wu Yu and Song Jinyao, and hurriedly shouted: "It's me, what about you?"

"We're fine, why are you inside, we have been looking for you for a long time, and then we decided to come in first. ”

"It's hard to put it into words, you guys come in first. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yu and the others had already walked in, and when they looked at the scene in front of them, their expressions changed and they gasped.

Zhang Xiyun swept through the crowd, only to find that there were many fewer people who came in, almost only seventy or eighty people, and you must know that there were more than 200 people when they first came.

After Wu Yu and the others looked around, they naturally asked Zhang Xiyun, Zhang Xiyun simply asked them to go up to the altar to have a look, Wu Yu and the others discussed for a while, Xue Shan, Cui Fang, Wu Yu, and Song Jinyao swept up the altar together, and the rest of the people waited at the bottom.

After the four of them went to the altar, there was another burst of amazement, and after a while, when they had calmed down, the five of them began to talk.

Zhang Xiyun's guess was really good, except for these seventy or eighty people, the remaining hundred people were not waiting in the courtyard, but had already died in the phantom array.

Wu Yu sighed and said: "That illusion is really terrible, I and Jin Yao are in the same illusion, it is really difficult to break, in that illusion, Dan Chengtian is angry, Chishan City is peaceful, I and Jin Yao have become relatives, and even have a pair of children......"

Although Xue Shan and the others didn't say anything, their eyes were also full of the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and the terrifying thing about the illusion was to shape the life you wanted to live the most, so that you would be intoxicated and die without knowing it.

Even until the last moment, they were unable to break through the illusion, if it weren't for Xin Wu to kill Jairus, I'm afraid even they would have to die in the illusion, in the end, maybe they were just lucky, Jairus devoured more than 100 people, and was killed by Xin Wu when Zhang Xiyun was in the illusion, so they survived, otherwise it's them, I'm afraid there is little life.

"The illusion suddenly broke by itself, and when we woke up, the corpses in the courtyard were all over the field, and the stone stairs in the room appeared, but we didn't see your figure, we asked everyone, and we didn't see the array beast, but a few monks who broke the formation before were convincing, saying that the array beast was dead, and the illusion was broken. ”

Wu Yu hesitated and said, "Xiyun, could it be your ......?"

Zhang Xiyun was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly smiled: "How is it possible, I have never seen that array beast, and I was also liberated by the self-destruction of the illusion, but when I woke up, it was not in the courtyard, but in the room where the stone statue was erected before, I was afraid that it would be difficult to come in again if I went out, so I simply came to find out first." ”

Xue Shan heard this: "It's strange, could it be that the dead brothers killed the array beast desperately and saved us from ......."

A few people were silent, and if that was the case, then they all owed the lives of these dead people.

Zhang Xiyun sighed in his heart, this matter is really difficult to explain clearly, if it is said that he killed the array beast by himself, it is too much, and it is not his own killing of the array beast, it is better to hide it.

Xue Shan sighed and said, "Brother Li, Brother Qian...... They are all dead. ”

"Xue Shan is really ashamed of everyone......"

Zhang Xiyun also sighed, the few people Xue Shan said were all a few immortal road monks led by Fang Cai, all of whom were the pillars of the cultivators in the city, and now they died here, which really reduced the strength of the monks in the city.

However, only if these people were all dead, Xue Shan and the others would believe that they had killed the array beast before they died, otherwise if only a few mortal dust cultivators died, then no one would dare to believe that it was them who killed the array beast.

In fact, even so, there are still many doubts in it, but at the moment everyone is reluctant to delve into it, after all, everyone has secrets, and now the situation is serious, and they are really not allowed to question it.

Wu Yu is probably the one who guesses the most, he is almost certain that the death of the array beast is related to Zhang Xiyun, but Zhang Xiyun is his brother, and he will definitely not harm himself, so he naturally will not say much.

"Brother Xue, I wonder how many of the Broken Formation Cultivators are still alive?" Zhang Xiyun asked bluntly.

When Xue Shan heard this, he responded: "Only three people survived. ”

"Invite the three of them to come up. Zhang Xiyun pointed to the complicated formation, "I'm afraid that only those who are proficient in the formation can get a glimpse of the mysteries." ”

Xue Shan nodded, and hurriedly went to call people with Cui Fang.

Wu Yu asked in a low voice, "Has Xiyun seen anyone from the courtier's family?"

Zhang Xiyun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I haven't seen anyone alive, but these dead people next to the altar are probably the guards of the courtiers." ”

Wu Yu frowned, "Aren't they here, if so, how can the bloodline be ......good?"

Zhang Xiyun also had a sad face when he heard this.

At this time, Song Jinyao on the side said with a smile: "The blood of the descendants of the Chen family is far away in front of you." ”

The two of them were stunned, and then reacted immediately, and hurriedly said: "Could it be ......!"

Song Jinyao pointed to a corpse next to the altar and said, "That person had a relationship with me several times before his death, he is not an ordinary courtier's guard, he is the nephew of the minister's punishment, and he is the head of the minister's guard." (To be continued.) )
