Chapter 49: What I Saw in the Past
The person who attacked from behind was none other than Qi Jiaoyao.
Yao Liu seemed to realize something: "It's you!"
It's good that he didn't speak, but as soon as the words fell, Qi Jiaoyao stopped leaving his hand, and the long sword in his hand stirred, stirring Yao Liu's chest.
Yao Liu has not finished speaking, and naturally he will never be able to say it.
However, Yao Liu did not leave a corpse, but turned into powder and scattered with the wind.
Seeing this scene, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask, "Is he dead or not?"
"Dead." Qi Jiaoyao pursed her lips, "But it's not dead. As you said, there's nothing dead here."
Qi Xuansu didn't ask any more questions, and if he solved Yao Liu, there would be no more obstacles, unless the earth master came in person.
They can go all the way to the top of the Spirit Mountain.
Soon, Qi Xuansu felt that the surrounding environment was familiar.
This is where I used to be in my dreams.
Qi Xuansu suddenly had a thought: "Will Shi Hengbo be here? After all, she is a disciple of Yao Zu and a participant in the creation project."
However, there is a high probability that it is not possible, after all, this is not the dream realm of the "Heart of the Immortal Stone".
After walking for a while, there was a fork in the road.
One is a large road with stone steps that stretch as far as the eye can see. The other is a rugged path, flanked by grass and trees, in which multicolored flowers bloom, names of which are unnamed, and the trees are hung with equally colorful silk ribbons, as if some kind of celebration is taking place, and the path winds its way upwards and disappears into a dark gloom, again with no end in sight.
A familiar place, a place where dreams begin.
Qi Jiaoyao asked, "Which way to go?"
Qi Xuansu didn't think about it, so he said, "Take the path, I'm familiar with it."
"Sounds like you've been here." Qi Jiaoyao did not raise any objections.
The two of them stepped on the path and walked towards the top of the mountain, and there was the sound of the wind whistling in their ears, and there was a woman's voice in the wind, which seemed to murmur and sing softly. The silk silks on the trees on both sides of the path fluttered in the wind, like countless arms dancing wildly, and the path was paved with many flower petals, revealing a strange fragrance.
Qi Xuansu walked in front, and Qi Jiaoyao walked behind.
I don't know how long it took, the woman's voice in Qi Xuansu's ears became clear, it was a language that Qi Xuansu had never heard before, very awkward, obscure, ancient and mysterious, and contained indescribable weirdness.
Isn't there no division across the waves? Whose voice is this?
Qi Jiaoyao suddenly spoke, "We don't just have to leave the Spirit Mountain Cave Heaven, but we also have to find the 'Immortal Stone'."
Qi Xuansu subconsciously said, "Go up the mountain, don't wander around."
As soon as the words came out, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but be stunned.
Isn't this Qi Niang's message in the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", probably because I heard too much, and my first reaction was this.
Qi Jiaoyao immediately retorted, "How can you find the 'Immortal Stone' without shopping?"
Qi Xuansu was about to speak, when his eyes suddenly became in a trance.
Not again.
The retrospective power of the "Returning Lantern" has finally been activated again.
This time it was Yao Zu who appeared in front of Qi Xuansu's eyes, almost exactly the same as her in the painting.
Yao Zu came to a large hall located halfway up the mountain—Qi Xuansu had seen this hall in a dream, but he couldn't get in.
The main hall is filled with the atmosphere of ancient savagery, but at this time it is already dilapidated, and the various statues in the hall are only the remains of severed limbs.
Yao Zu walked into the main hall, went straight to the middle of the main hall, squatted down, his palms pressed against the ground, and a breeze surged around her, spreading around.
The thick dust on the ground was swept away, and it could be seen that a huge eye was painted on the ground, Yao Zu was standing in the middle of the pupil of this eye at this time, and under her feet, there was a fist-sized hole.
Yao Zu took out a stone from his Sumeru object and inlaid it in the hollow, not big or small, just right.
In an instant, stones
A dazzling light burst out from above, centered on the stone, and countless vein-like rays of light spread out in all directions, and then filled the entire pupil, making it shine brightly.
I saw that the pupils of this eye slowly parted like a double fish, and a spiraling staircase appeared at Yao Xianglian's feet.
Yao Zu muttered to himself, "I hope that the Heavenly Master Sect didn't discover this place back then, and I hope that my sisters didn't destroy the things inside."
As he spoke, Yao Zu stepped down the stairs and walked towards the pitch-black abyss.
Just when Yao Zu's figure completely disappeared into the darkness, Qi Xuansu suddenly came back to his senses.
Qi Jiaoyao was already a little accustomed to this situation, so he just waited for Qi Xuansu to come back to his senses, and then asked, "What did you see again?"
"If there's an 'Immortal Stone' here, then I probably know where." Qi Xuansu never thought that there was still an "Immortal Stone" here, but thought that the "Immortal Stone" had been taken away by Qi Niang, but Qi Jiaoyao was stubborn, so he had to take Qi Jiaoyao to see it with his own eyes, so that she would die.
Qi Jiaoyao instantly came to his senses: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up, get the 'Immortal Stone, let's leave this ghost place immediately, never come again."
Qi Xuansu is naturally familiar with this place, I don't know how many times he has been there, and under his guidance, he soon found the hall where Yao Zu went.
Just as Qi Xuansu saw in the trance, the entrance position had been opened by Yao Zu, and the staircase extended downward in a spiral, without any fixation and support, just suspended in the air, with deep darkness in all directions, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was an abyss.
After all, this is a cave sky, and it is a distorted cave sky, which cannot be generalized with the world.
Before arriving at the main peak of Lingshan, it was Qi Jiaoyao who answered Qi Xuansu's questions, and after entering the range of the main peak of Lingshan, it became Qi Xuansu answering Qi Jiaoyao's questions. After all, Qi Xuansu has been here many times in his dreams, and there is also the retrospective miracle of the "Returning Lamp".
On the way to the temple, Qi Xuansu saw a few more fragments in a trance, and probably knew what the place of this temple that Yao Zu paid special attention to.
Qi Xuansu explained: "This used to be the place where the great witches used to refine the elixir of immortality, in addition to the storage of various materials, there are also prisons, pill rooms, etc., the prison is full of poor guys used by the great witches to test the medicine, there are huge wild beasts, there are also ordinary living people, and even the witch clan who have made great mistakes."
"A place to refine the elixir of immortality." Qi Jiaoyao muttered to himself, "'The Immortal Stone must be here.'"
Qi Xuansu walked down the spiraling staircase first, followed by Qi Jiaoyao.
After walking for about half an hour, the two of them finally walked up this long staircase and came to the place where the great witches were refining the elixir of immortality.
The prison was now empty, with only a few scattered bones remaining.
Qi Jiaoyao went straight to the storage area, the stone doors here have been opened, and the things inside have naturally been removed, even if there are still some materials, because of the passage of time, they have decayed into a bunch of indescribable strange things, not to mention that there are still a few points left in the medicinal properties, but there is a lot more toxicity.
Qi Jiaoyao suddenly showed a disappointed look, but he was wearing a mask and couldn't see it.
The two went to the most important Danfang again.
The whole body of the Danfang is made of bronze, and the two gates are three feet high, like a copper wall, and there are countless strange and strange symbols engraved on it.
Qi Jiaoyao was slightly relieved when he saw the gate that was still in good condition, but how to open the gate was a problem.
At this moment, the scene in front of Qi Xuansu's eyes began to retrace again.
Qi Xuansu saw Yao Zu standing in front of this gate, which was also closed.
Then Yao Zu began to chant ancient and obscure syllables, and the symbols inscribed on the bronze door continued to move, eventually disintegrating into countless characters hanging in the air.
Behind the gate was a huge chamber, like the underground basilica they had seen earlier, but it was vast but not supported by a single pillar.
On the dome ten zhang high, a star map is inlaid with unknown stones. Although the stars are fake, they exude the same aura as real stars, and they can simulate the changes and movements of the celestial phenomena in a small area, which is breathtaking.
In the middle of the main hall is a huge furnace made of bronze, which is as high as a two-story building, ordinary people want to go up and down the Dan furnace, but also take the ladder to do it, the smoke of the whole hall flows lightly, the starry sky is bright, just like the grand scene of the fairy family, but it is filled with an indescribable ominous and strange atmosphere.
Yao Zu walked into the main hall, bypassed the huge furnace ding, and came to the other side of the furnace ding, the scene here made Yao Zu's face become solemn.
Here stood a woman who was more than a foot tall, no longer tall, with black hair like ink, hanging down to her calf.
Yao Zu said softly, "Witch Aunt."
The picture came to an abrupt end here.
Qi Xuansu came back to his senses, didn't talk nonsense, followed Yao Zu's way, and began to chant the same syllables.
Perhaps because of the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", these witchcraft languages, which should have been very complex and difficult to understand, were very simple to Qi Xuansu, as if they were his innate instincts.
This made Qi Xuansu can't help but have an association, this special "Immortal Stone Heart" shouldn't be to transform him into an orthodox witch clan, right?
It's just that before Qi Xuansu could think about it, the symbols engraved on the bronze door had already begun to move, disintegrating into countless characters hanging in the air.
The scene in the main hall appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them, no different from what Qi Xuansu saw in his trance.
Without waiting for Qi Xuansu to speak, Qi Jiaoyao had already run to the Dan Furnace first, opened the door of the Dan Furnace, and a strong and slightly bloody medicinal fragrance suddenly spread.
It's a pity that in the Dan furnace, except for the medicinal incense, there is nothing that Qi Jiaoyao has in mind.
This disappointed Qi Jiaoyao.
Qi Xuansu's eyes are constantly intertwined with flashback fragments of the past and the reality of the present.
The witch girl in Yao Zu's perspective was pierced through the chest by a long sword condensed by thunder, and thousands of years have passed, and the thunder and lightning have not dissipated. The witch girl kept one hand to grasp the movement of the thunder in her chest, as if she wanted to pull it out, but a cold air froze all the thunder on the witch and her chest, making it forever frozen at this moment, turning into an ice crystal, standing behind the furnace, unmelting for thousands of years.
