Chapter 19: Black Plot Props

When Cao Xuan and the two stepped into the small tower of the ancestral hall, a line of prompts appeared.

[When the student enters the place of ceremony, the remaining power of the cult is left in the stone tower, and the release of the power can temporarily cover the breath of the living on the body, and can block the perception of the scene monster for 10 minutes, do you choose to release it?] 】

Without hesitation, Cao Xuan chose to be sure, and a dark aura that made people palpitate burst out from the spire.

[The trainee has successfully activated the power of the cult, and the time of refuge now begins to count down.] 】

The ceremony had already taken effect, Cao Xuan wanted to check the contents of the small tower, but he saw a wooden tablet in the corner, which was engraved with dense ancient Xiongnu characters, who knew that Yue Ruxue pressed him on the round stone slab in the middle.

"Sit here, don't move yet, I'll look at that thing later, I'll treat you first, the wound is still bleeding, and if you hold on, it is estimated that your blood is about to run dry."

Using his talent for emergency treatment, a soft halo bloomed from the palm of his hand, this time the light was much more dazzling than before, and the effect was also very obvious, Cao Xuan felt that the warm current was constantly wandering in his body from the other party's palm, the wounds on his body no longer bleed, and began to heal slowly, and his spirit was no longer sluggish, and he was even a little refreshed, and his strength had recovered a lot.

The white light gradually dissipated, Cao Xuan stood up and moved his body, and said: "It seems that I was wrong, your talent is a wet nurse, I wrote down this love." ”

Because of the wound on his thigh, Cao Xuan tore off the shirt of his shirt, and now he is still bare-chested, his complexion is white and his muscles are well-proportioned, staring at the other party, Yue Ruxue's face was a little crimson for a while, and he muttered: "Hooligans, exhibitionists." ”

Cao Xuan was also aware of his state, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he was about to do something to divert his attention, so he picked up the wooden tablet in the corner.

The wooden tablets seem to be made of a special material, not like ordinary wood products, which have a cold feeling when you start with, and the outside is very smooth, as if coated with a layer of wax.

[Park Guyeol is an eternal sinner, when the unification of the north, in order to stabilize the regime, listen to the villain's rumors and brutally kill the meritorious tribe that laid down the north for him, believe in the evil art of the wandering demon to hold a ceremony, brutally slaughter my tribe in private, make my sister and his wife alive as a human skin chrysalis, and the harmful people of our people will always fall into the darkness, lying to the outside world that they were killed by the invasion of foreign enemies, in order to appease people's hearts, fake a mausoleum to claim that the deceased was buried in the built cemetery. 】

[You'll never think of it!] At the beginning, you were soft-hearted and exiled to the Han land, the virtuous king, will come back after your death, and use the cult secret techniques you have learned to use you in the Yongzhen cemetery, and keep the spirits of my people forever, you will never get rest, even if you sacrifice my life and sacrifice my blood to the body of the tower of death, you will never give up, and you will never step into reincarnation. 】

At this point, Cao Xuan finally figured out the truth of all this.

The resentful spirit of the main quest can also be determined, that is, to crack the evil art of the younger brother of the queen of the Huns, and liberate Pu Gulie's spirit body, so that he is no longer bound by the curse, but how to break it, there is no description of the implementation of the evil magic on this wooden tablet, maybe there are other clues in this stone tower, and the task cannot not give any hints.

Cao Xuan began to search the inside of the tower, first knocking along the perimeter, but to no avail, and finally he set his eyes on the circular stone slab in the middle, which was probably the only special place.

Try to touch the edge of the slate, the polishing is neat and not uneven at all, and try to push it outward with both hands, the slate moves slightly.

Sure enough, there was something hidden under the slab.

With more force, a crisp sound echoed, as if something had been cut off, and then Cao Xuan was thrown to the side by Yue Ruxue.

"Be careful!"

There is nothing under the stone slab, that is a mechanism, when Cao Xuan completely pushed it away, the stone in the middle of the ceiling of the small tower fell down instantly, fortunately, Yue Ruxue pounced Cao Xuan in time, otherwise Cao Xuan's head would have turned into a smashed tomato at this time.

"It's dangerous!" His eyes swept over the smashed stone slab, Cao Xuan said with palpitations, now the more like snow is still crawling on his body, the soft delicate body feels cold to the touch, but Cao Xuan's mind is not here, he saw that the place where the stone fell above seemed to be sticking to the book.

At this time, the posture was too ambiguous, the two of them were so close, their pretty faces flushed, Yue Ruxue hurriedly got up, and found that Cao Xuan didn't care too much, his eyes seemed to be looking up, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, I don't know whether he was angry that he had no temptation, or he was blaming Cao Xuan for not understanding the amorous style.

"The more snow is like snow, can you use your silk to get the book off the top?" , the distance is too high Cao Xuan can't get the book on the top, so he asks Yue Ruxue to do it for him.

The silk in the red sleeves flew out, and Yue Ruxue didn't speak, as if she was an angry child, and threw the book to Cao Xuan.

Ignoring Yue Ruxue's little emotions at all, Cao Xuan's attention was all attracted by the book, the surface of the book was gray-black and depicted with spiral images, like a circle of stacked eyes, the outside of the book was wrapped in a layer of very smooth leather, as delicate as a baby's skin, and the paper inside was yellowed, with dense runes written on it.

[Students get special items!] 】

[Black Story Item - Evil Fear]

[Ability 1:??? ]

[Ability 2:??? ]

[Ability 3:??? ]

[It is a dark book bound with the flesh and blood of countless lives, it is full of evil breath, it contains many cruel rituals, when you open the book you seem to hear countless wails, it is the miserable cry of the sacrificed, but now it has lost its original power, and the cover seems to be missing some key, making the book incomplete.] ]

[This item is in a mutilated state and is temporarily unavailable, details will be available after completing the book.] 】

This may be the record on the wooden tablet, the younger brother of the queen of the Huns trained Pu Gulie to become a spiritual guardian, Cao Xuan's fingers touched the middle of the book, the circle spiral seemed to be an eye without pupils, and there was a small groove on the point of convergence, as if there had been something inlaid there before, but now it is gone.

Judging from the touch of the low end of the groove, it should have been a spherical object inlaid before, and the younger brother of the queen of the Huns hid this book in a hidden stone tower, and the mechanism was obviously not wanted to be discovered, and the reason is very likely that this book hides the key to the release of Pu Gulie, and what is missing is an important part of the ceremony.

If the missing item on the book cover is a necessary condition for restraining Park Guyeol from becoming a guardian, then it should not be too far from Park Guyeol's corpse, perhaps hidden in the other party's mausoleum, but I haven't found anything round and suitable size in the coffin, and the rest of the gadgets are some strange totems, could it be that they were taken away by Si Koogu, who dug up the grave first?

This possibility is still there, but it is not possible to find the other party to confirm it immediately, and the current crisis has not been resolved, after ten minutes, if there is no way to complete the side quest, it will still face the pursuit of the Hun queen, Cao Xuan observed the evil relict in his hand, and had an idea in his heart to try.

handed the blood jade into Yue Ruxue's hands, and said, "Help me save it first." After speaking, he walked out of the stone tower and stood in the dilapidated courtyard of the ancestral hall.

[The student has lost the protection of the cult power.] 】

[Note: When a trainee takes out the Evil Relic from the inventory, the evil aura will overflow, and the Guardian will hate this power and will choose to attack the wielder first.] 】

It seems that my idea is not wrong, since Park Guyeol can feel the breath of a living person, then he is no stranger to the source of causing it to become like this, books and bound things are one, if you leave the stone tower with books, the other party will definitely be able to feel it, since this is the case! The next side quest is easy, if my guess is correct.

Back in the house, Cao Xuan, in Yue Ruxue's puzzled eyes, exchanged the blood jade in the other party's hand, took the evil relic back to the inventory, and stood outside again.

Standing in the darkness of the night, he stared at every move ahead.

"What are you doing, Cao Xuan?" Yue Ruxue was a little worried, and just wanted to come out, but heard Cao Xuan say.

"Don't come out yet, I want to try, it won't be too long, just wait a minute."

Despite hearing Cao Xuan say this, Yue Ruxue was still a little uneasy, standing on the edge of the stone tower and preparing to pull the other party back with silk at any time.

In the deep mountains and old forests, the ancient trees in front of Cao Xuan are towering, the willows behind are hanging low, the forest is so quiet that everything is sleeping in the place of death, the first second is silent, the next second the cold wind is raging, the sound of the leaves swaying echoes, Cao Xuan stares at the front of the ancestral hall in the darkness without squinting.

Looking around, Yue Ruxue knew that it was a sign that the Queen of the Huns was coming, and urged: "Cao Xuan, what are you doing?" Don't come back soon. ”

"Wait a minute, it's not time yet." Cao Xuan said lightly.

After a while, a dry figure suddenly passed over the ancient tree, and the Hun queen stretched out her claws and went straight to the small courtyard of the ancestral hall, before Cao Xuan could make any moves, Yue Ruxue took the first step to stretch out the red silk and bring Cao Xuan back to the scope of the stone tower, frowned, and asked angrily: "Do you want to die?" ”

Looking at the Hun queen outside who was screaming because she had lost her goal, Cao Xuan whispered: "Some are too far away, you should pull me back later." ”

"I shouldn't have pulled you and let that old witch shoot you to death, it's really a fool's errand." Yue Ruxue said angrily.

didn't care what the other party said, Cao Xuan smiled, and handed the blood jade to the other party.

"Don't worry! I'll be fine, you take the blood jade and stay here, waiting to see the show. ”

When she saw that Cao Xuan was going out again, Yue Ruxue grabbed Cao Xuan's arm.

"You're going out again? The monster is still out there! What the hell are you going to do? ”

Removing Yue Ruxue's arm, Cao Xuan stared at Yue Ruxue's worried face, and said seriously: "I won't do anything I'm not sure of, believe me." ”

Out of the scope of the stone tower, the queen of the Xiongnu did not attack Cao Xuan this time.

Because of the protection of the cult power, the blood jade was placed in the stone tower, and even if the trainee appeared in front of the queen of the Huns, it could not cause harm to non-blood jade holders.

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan took out the Fear of Evil Relic from his inventory, he planned to rely on the breath of this book to lure the soul guards over and completely end the grievances between them.
