Chapter 40: The Black Altar
Under the dark night, white silver light poured down, covering the earth with a layer of mercury-like brilliance. Yang Long's eyes were slightly drunk, and a chilling mist stung his eyes, this height was probably already a little terrifying.
The stone stairs climb one by one, as if endless. Yang Long didn't know how long this guy had been carrying him, and he felt the pain in his chest slightly lessen at this point. However, those broken bones do not mean that they can be healed by healing, and some skin injuries are easy to heal, but now they can't help but scars on the bones, and what is even more difficult to heal is the injuries that hurt the internal organs. If this kind of injury had been placed in the past, Yang Long would not have been able to bear the bumps in the road even if he had ten lives.
As the moon above his head became clearer and clearer, Yang Long felt a strange aura flowing on this towering sharp stone, this aura was very faint, and it was somewhat similar to the black aura flowing from the mummy before.
As this guy's footsteps gradually stopped, Yang Long, who was being carried on his shoulder, couldn't see the scene behind him clearly, and couldn't help but get anxious.
"If you want to bring me to this bird place, you have to show me! Put me down!" Yang Long said in a deep voice, bowing his head weakly.
I don't know if it's because this guy understands Yanglong's words, or if this guy doesn't pay attention to it at all. The mummy directly threw Yang Long aside and began to kneel down and pray sincerely.
"Shhh His injuries weren't healed at all, and this guy just threw himself off his shoulders like garbage.
"I'm forked... ”
After greeting this guy's whole family, Yang Long began to pay attention to his surroundings. It's a pretty long way from the ground, but it's very wide. As far as the territory in front of Yang Long is concerned, I am afraid that it is more than a dozen miles wide. You must know that the position where Yang Long is located now is about a few kilometers high, otherwise there would not be a layer of cold mist around it.
What surprised Yang Long even more was the strange hall in front of him. The temple is located at the top of the cloud peak, the aura is swirling, the cold is introverted, and it is not ordinary at first glance. The person who built the temple in such a place must be an extraordinary person. Although the temple had no characteristics except for revealing a stunned aura and an aggressive cold surprise.
The body of the hall is simple and unremarkable, there is no ornate decoration, and there is no finely carved stone statue. Even if Yang Long had been under the abyss, there were one or two dilapidated stone statues standing there in both the main hall and the central hall, like guardian saints. But there was nothing in front of this ordinary temple, not even the door plaque.
If it weren't for Yang Long's hearing that Whitebeard said that after the temple was formed, it would emit a wireless aura on its own, and this aura had a certain relationship with the person he created, he would not have sensed this strong aura so far away.
The mummy was excitedly worshipping on the side, babbling as if he was saying something, but the funny thing was that Yang Long couldn't hear half of the sentence at all. This guy has been dead for so long, and if he can still speak, it's called rebellious. Even if there is a specific connection between souls. If it weren't for the fact that the Mandate of Heaven Mark that Whitebeard had condensed all his life had been handed over to Yang Long, otherwise even if Whitebeard's soul body stood beside Yang Long, he wouldn't be able to see it, let alone hear what Whitebeard said.
Although Yang Long still can't understand the matter between the souls, one day he will have to learn it. Because maybe this way, he can find a way to resurrect Whitebeard. However, Yang Long often laughed at himself, how can a person be resurrected after death, no matter how magical this world is, how can it violate the laws of this world. Yang Long comforts himself like this every time, maybe one day, he can see the light! Sometimes, many things are involuntary, but you still do it desperately, that is just to seek comfort.
Having said that, Yang Long was already bored looking at this guy at this time, and worshiped here for nearly half a stick of incense. However, just when Yang Long was already impatient, this guy reluctantly gave up. It stood up suddenly, picked up the Yang Dragon again, and walked straight to the main hall in front of it.
As Yang Long approached, he found that it was a pale black temple, not made of pitch black imprints in the night, but cast from real pale black rock.
Judging from the rings that have stood for an unknown number of centuries, this pale black rock is no ordinary rock. However, even in extraordinary things, after the baptism of annual rings, they still can't escape the fate of withering. Yang Long made a preliminary estimate, judging from the cracks on the stone wall, the existence of this palace was probably no less than five hundred to a thousand years.
A thousand years can corrode a lot of things, and even the bones have long since turned into dust. So all that was left of the place was an empty temple, except for the surrounding stone walls.
Yang Long followed this guy all the way, but he couldn't help but sigh at the lonely scene in this place. Even if the previous life was prosperous, it will be difficult to reach the passage of time after all.
The mummy walked through the main entrance of the main hall and gradually walked towards the back mountain. At first, Yang Long didn't pay attention, but later he realized that the aura he had sensed from afar had only begun to become more and more intense until here, and it seemed that it was already within reach.
If the breath coming from the main hall is like a thin layer of mist, then the breath here is like a thick smoke that can't be seen.
As this guy gradually got closer, Yang Long finally knew what kind of place this was.
On a three-metre-high platform, five black stone pillars are located in different directions. On these black stone pillars, Yang Long also saw a lot of strange runes, which were obviously aging and showed some signs of wind erosion. But at the very top of each stone pillar is engraved a kind of Heavenly Mandate Rune, which is the innate rune of human beings. Whitebeard had taught him to read ancient characters, so Yang Long still knew a little bit about it.
It's just that Yang Long was a little dumbfounded that there was actually a sign of the five elements on it, facing east to wood, followed by fire, then earth, accompanied by gold, and water at the tail. The content on it, Whitebeard, once told him that if he saw this kind of rune of the five elements, then this place must be an altar.
Altars have many functions, some altars need a lot of aura, some altars need a lot of blood, and some evil altars need human souls. It's just that in this category, the altar of the soul required is generally used by the lich clan who have disappeared from the continent for a long time.
It's no wonder that Yang Long sensed that the evil qi here was extremely heavy, but it was extremely pure, as if it was innate. But now that he has walked here, Yang Long knows that these evil qi are not born at all, but that this place itself is an evil altar, accumulating countless yin spirits and curses. Over time, this place condensed into a strange aura, no wonder Yang Long sensed why the mummy had such an amazing resentment before, it turned out to be related to this place.
Based on the aura left around the altar, Yang Long believed that the altar was left behind by the Lich Clan, and that this was where the Lich Clan once lived.
This breath has been refined by time, and the impurities have long been removed, and now what is left is pure essence. This kind of essence is a great supplement for Indian cultivators, and things without impurities are suitable for the cultivation of guys of any attribute.
But Yang Long didn't care about such a little bit of spirit, what he cared about was why this guy brought himself to such a place. The order is why this guy followed Tianying and the others before, and where did this guy come from.
Many doubts made Yang Long puzzled, and now it seems that this place has a special meaning for this guy.
"Could it be that this guy is from this place in the first place. ”
But Yang Long thought about it carefully, but felt that it was impossible, because this place has a history of nearly five hundred or even a thousand years, even the dead people have already turned into a pile of fossils, how could those guys get such a corpse.
No matter what angle Yang Long looks at, this guy doesn't look like he's been dead for five hundred years.
"But what is this altar sacrifice?"
While Yang Long was pondering, the mummy had already walked to the center of the altar, and he put Yang Long down, but it happened to be the center of the altar. Seeing this scene, Yang Long's face immediately became gloomy, he didn't expect that this guy was actually going to sacrifice himself.
Although Yang Long's injuries at this time were serious, he could barely stand up. He didn't want to care about anything now, just leave this place. Although he didn't know if this altar was good or bad for him, and besides, it had been a long time since it was used, and he didn't know if it could be used, but he didn't want to gamble.
But now, even if he wants to leave, the mummy in front of him is not a fuel-efficient lamp, it is still looking at him from the sidelines, just like a cat seeing a mouse, excited, how can he let himself leave like this. Either way, Yang Long has to try.
But when Yang Long was about to leave this place, he found that an invisible pressure suddenly appeared around him and imprisoned him, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't move now. There was no change in the surrounding runes, and there was no change in the venue, but what was going on with this sudden confinement?
"What the hell have you done, what do you want to do? Let go of me. Yang Long hissed and roared, but he wondered in his heart. He could subconsciously sense that this altar did not mean to hurt himself, and even he could that the mummy did not mean to hurt himself.
But when he saw the mummy biting down on his arm with his sharp teeth, he realized how stupid his idea was.
He didn't expect this mummy to bite people.
"What the hell does this guy want, will he become a zombie if he bites this bite?"
