Chapter 22: The Lost Treasure
The moment he saw this old man, Qi Wanli's scalp was numb!
After having Jin Dan, his sense of everything around him has been extremely powerful, no matter what kind of environment he is in, Jin Dan can always resonate with the divine power in the environment by himself, and produce induction, just when he wanders in the sea capital, he knows what people and things are around, what creatures and plants are on the seabed, he knows them all.
But this old man, in his induction, was completely absent.
Even now, he could see the old man with his eyes, but in his senses, the sea in front of him was still empty!
Qi Wanli's mind turned, and he immediately bowed slightly: "In Xia Qi Wanli, I have seen the Pope of the Abyss Temple. ”
Yes, in this sea capital, the only people who can do this are the top people in the world, the Pope of the Temple.
Even if it was a seventh-order powerhouse, it was impossible for him to be unaware!
The old man smiled: "Young man, my senses are very keen." Don't be so polite, you are the person sent by Sister Xuan, that is your own person who can really be trusted, just call this seat a senior. ”
In terms of age, I may be your senior.
Qi Wanli secretly complained in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded: "Senior." ”
"Hmm. The Pope smiled and said: "Qi Wanli, your name has been known to everyone in the Southern Continent in the past year, and even this seat has heard of it in this deep sea." ”
Qi Wanli also smiled: "It's just that there was some trouble." ”
The Pope patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, although the old man Fan of Xingchen Tower is powerful, he never dares to come to the sea to find trouble, since you are Sister Xuan's person, this seat will not be polite to you, come and do things." ”
With that, the old pope swam towards the coral-like temple, and Qi Wanli hurriedly followed.
"The Sister Xuan he is talking about should be the star one. Yes, he is the apprentice of the sea monster, and the star man is the daughter of the sea monster, and according to the generation, the star man should be regarded as his senior sister. ”
He followed the old Pope and asked, "Senior, you just said that this temple is actually the most powerful monster on the sea, what do you mean by that?"
The old Pope pointed to the hill-like coral temple and said: "Two hundred years ago, just after the end of the Dark Ages, after the Lord of the Abyss fell into a deep sleep, a huge monster appeared on the ocean, its name is Covering the Sky, it is said to be a monster, but it is actually a complete race, they have the same consciousness, and the number is extremely large. ”
"The sky-covering coral devours everything, and we can't judge its strength with our current grade level, we only know that almost all the transcendents on the ocean at that time could not resist its advance, and wherever it went, the heavens and the earth changed color, the sun and the moon were lightless, and all living beings and dead things would be devoured by it. ”
"In the end, it was the Supreme Master, who was only of the seventh order at that time, who commanded all the abyss envoys on the ocean, and made a plan to lure the Sky Covering Coral into a trap prepared in advance, and countless people joined forces to kill it. ”
"The large area of coral you see now is just a very small part of the skeleton structure of the coral that was shading, and of course, the most central part. ”
The old pope talked eloquently, and Qi Wanli listened with fascination.
Although it was only a sentence or two, he could feel the desperate heart of the human race at that time, they had just experienced the dark age and they had infinite hope for the future, even if it was a terrifying monster that devoured everything in front of them, they would do everything they could to kill it.
At the same time, he also thought of the black-robed monster and the Burning Sea Flying Whale, I don't know if those two monsters are stronger or weaker than the sky-covering coral?
It's a pity that the current human race doesn't have the kind of unity that it had back then, and the black-robed monster was even taken away by someone who claimed to be the fourth disciple of Li Chengkong, I don't know what the purpose will be, but it can be imagined that it is basically for personal gain.
"What are you thinking, young man?" the old Pope asked, looking at Qi Wanli with interest.
Qi Wanli smiled bitterly: "I'm thinking, if there is another monster like this in the world now, there is no one who can organize countless transcendents to kill it." ”
The old pope was slightly stunned, then shook his head, and didn't know what it meant.
Qi Wanli quickly threw away this question and asked, "By the way, senior, I don't know what I'm here for?"
The old pope smiled: "Don't worry, just follow along." ”
The two of them came all the way to the temple, which was also covered with a waterproof barrier, I don't know if it was a talisman or a magic weapon, and when they stepped into the temple, the sea water was blocked out of the gate.
The old Pope hunched his back and his hands on his shoulder, slowly led Qi Wanli to the depths of the temple, which was dark and quiet, and the lighting was very weak, that is, he was just able to see things clearly.
Along the way, the abyss messengers on both sides of the aisle saluted deeply to the old Pope, not daring to look sideways.
"This is it. ”
After walking for a long time, the old Pope stopped.
They had just passed through a long corridor where there were originally temple soldiers and guards on the side of the road, but then slowly dwindled until they disappeared. By the time they reached the end of the hallway, they hadn't seen anyone for a quarter of an hour, and the lights were dim.
At the end of the corridor is a small door.
The old pope turned to the side and said to Qi Wanli, "Take out your sign." ”
Qi Wanli was stunned, and with an oh sound, he took out the iron brand in his pocket and handed it to the old pope.
The old pope nodded, took the iron plate, and then took out a sign from himself, but it was round, and the image of the Lord of the Abyss was also engraved on it, but it was not the appearance of standing up to the sky, but more like the appearance of an octopus-headed human body, wearing a shining golden crown and a wide robe.
I saw the old pope throw two signs at the small door at the same time, snapped twice, and the two signs were sucked on the door accurately, and then, the whole door slowly opened by itself.
"This is the place where the treasure of our Abyss Temple is stored, and you can only enter it if you hold two Oracle cards at the same time. One brand, which belonged to the Supreme Master, was later passed on by her to Sister Xuan, and the other brand, which only the Pope could hold. He said leisurely.
Qi Wanli was taken aback and thought of a possibility.
"Mystical Divine Stone?!" he blurted out.
The old Pope looked at him deeply, and said with a smile: "Young man, you know a lot. ”
Qi Wanli smiled.
"You're right, this is indeed the place where the Mystic Divine Stone is stored, but it's ......"
When the old pope spoke, the door was completely open, and he saw that there was a small room inside, but about ten square meters, and at a glance, there was a simple stone platform in the center of the room, and there was a tray at the top of the stone platform, however, the tray was empty!
"However, our Mystic Divine Stone has not been seen for a long time. ”
After he finished the last sentence, he looked at Qi Wanli and stopped talking.
Qi Wanli gasped and took half a step back in shock!
"The Mysterious Divine Stone of the Abyss Temple is gone?!" he was shocked and speechless, countless possibilities flashed through his mind, but he had no clue at all.
So far, he has indeed gotten some clues to the mysterious divine stone, and even seen one with his own eyes. In the hands of the White Dragon King is the divine stone belonging to the path of the Divine Servant of Life, stolen from the Temple of Life, and the image of the divine stone recorded in the tablet held by Pan Darong belongs to the secret spell master, or the vein of the silent secret method. In addition, there seems to be a mysterious divine stone on the star person's body, but what she has on her body should be the divine stone that has been recorded.
Qi Wanli took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked, "Who stole the Mystery Divine Stone?"
The old pope shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
"Don't know?"
Qi Wanli was shocked: "That, senior, you don't know that I can understand, do you...... Supreme Master and Star Speaker, don't they know either?"
The old pope sighed and said, "The Mystic Divine Stone is independent of fate, and Sister Xuan can't see its existence, so naturally she doesn't know where it is. ”
"What?" Qi Wanli was shocked again when he heard the words "independent of fate".
Because, he knows very well, this is what makes him unique.
He fell asleep in the apocalypse, and woke up more than 300 years later, possessed in unimaginable ways by the self-proclaimed god Dark. He knows how special he is, so the matter of being out of his fate is a matter of course in his opinion, I am not a person of this era, how can I be in the same boat with the fate of this era?
But the mystery of the Divine Stone?
Qi Wanli's heart jumped, and he thought of Dark Yuan again.
"The Mystic Divine Stone is a part of the Dark Element, and the Dark Element is possessed by me...... So, what really can't be detected by fate is actually the dark element?"
He suppressed his conjecture and asked the old Pope, "Senior, did you bring me here because you wanted me to help find the lost Mystic Divine Stone?"
The old pope nodded: "Exactly." ”
Qi Wanli smiled bitterly: "Senior, you are embarrassing me, the Supreme Master, the Star Speaker, and your dignified Pope can't be found, let me find it?"
The old Pope pouted: "Then what should I do? Sister Xuan chose you." ”
Qi Wanli sighed, thinking of Bai Qiyu's letter and the help played by the Star Speaker, shook his head, and said, "That's it, since Lord Star said that I can do it, I'll give it a try." What, stolen things, generally there will still be some clues, in the next Bucai, just for the search for clues have some experience, can you please talk about the seniors, when the discovery of the loss of the sacred stone scene?"
The old pope thought for a moment and said, "Well, I really don't know this. ”
"How can you not know?" Qi Wanli scratched his head: "Not to mention your seniors' skills, everything in the ocean within a radius of a hundred miles should be under your control, even if that thief has the ability to really steal things under your nose, who found out first and when did you find out, you should always know, right?"
"I don't know. The old pope said with a smile: "At that time, this seat was not born yet, probably more than a hundred years ago." ”
Qi Wanli: "......"
