Chapter 18: The Temple
From the outside, the inside of the temple was pitch black, and there was no light in sight, as if the temple itself was devouring all the light, but inside it was a completely different scene.
Without any hindrance, Ling Mo easily entered the temple. The interior of the temple is very large, which is supposed to be a spatial application. No light source was seen, but the interior of the temple was bright.
The temple was very empty, in the center of it there was an altar made of stone, the top of the altar was shrouded by a layer of hazy light, and he couldn't see what was on it, but Ling Mo still felt a great coercion, it was the things above the altar that came from it.
Except for the altar in the center, Ling Mo didn't see anything.
Under pressure, Ling Mo walked towards the altar.
When facing the altar, Ling Mo felt a pressure like a green mountain pressing on his head, but he still couldn't stop Ling Mo, he moved forward step by step.
When he walked a few meters away from the altar, the pressure Ling Mo was facing was already very high, and every step he took had to pay a huge amount of strength!
Urging the Phantom Eye, Ling Mo finally saw what was on the altar.
It was something like a skull and a metal rod, and the two items were lying quietly on the altar, Ling Mo sensed a terrifying power from them, but he felt that they were all sealed, and that terrifying power did not rage in the temple.
Ling Mo looked at the metal stick with a burning eye, the moment he saw it, Ling Mo thought of something, the broken spear found on the bluestone road, although there was no basis, he still thought that there was a great connection between the two, and even they were the same weapon, just because the two were too similar to each other.
"I really didn't expect someone to come here again, but whether you can really get out of here depends on your chance. "A Taoist suddenly appeared in the temple.
"Are you?!" Ling Mo was shocked for a while, a Taoist appeared in this strange temple, and said this to him again, no matter how you look at it, it is not right!
"I'm a painting carved here, and I'm in charge of guarding this temple. ”
Ling Mo was awe-inspiring in his heart, who left this handwriting, it was clear that he was an absolute powerhouse, otherwise how could he let a stone carving have life!
Moreover, Ling Mo noticed what the Daoist said. He's talking about the town guard, what is the town guard?
"Dare to ask seniors, where is this?" Ling Mo said.
"This is a place where a prosperous age has been buried, right at our feet, countless heroes are roaring, and endless undead are lamenting!" said the Taoist softly.
Ling Mo's heart was shocked, he didn't know what he meant by this, but he faintly felt that this place was hiding a big secret that was enough to shock the world.
"Senior, please!" Ling Mo said, eager to know what kind of secret was hidden here.
"These things shouldn't be told to anyone else, but since you can get this ring, it means that you have the right to know this. ”
Ling Mo knew that he was talking about the white bone ring that was wearing on his hand. This confirmed his thoughts, this bone ring has an important connection with the ominous land and even the entire Cave Continent!
"Twenty thousand years ago, a Purple Mansion War ended an era, and as one of the most important battlefields, I don't know how many strong people fell here. ”
"After the fall of these strong people, the heroic souls are immortal, and the broken souls are still stranded in this land, and their obsessions are even more indelible. ”
"Then came this ominous place in the mouth of outsiders, and this temple appeared. This temple is dedicated not to any one person, but to all the living beings who have died on this land!"
The Taoist said sadly: "For 20,000 years, the temple has been appeasing these undead spirits and suppressing them. In fact, after all this time, the Ominous Land has long since ceased to be the horror of the past. ”
The Taoist said a lot, Ling Mo's heart was shocked, he never thought that the ominous place was actually connected with the Purple Mansion War ten thousand years ago, let alone that countless undead would be suppressed under the temple.
But Ling Mo noticed that the Taoist people said very broadly, but they didn't describe the details, such as who built the temple and who carved it.
After careful questioning, he realized that it was not that the Taoist did not want to say it, but that he was just a carved picture, responsible for guarding the temple, and he didn't know a lot of things, and many things were deduced from the remnants of some heroic spirits and other things.
As for the formations, black cats, and skeletons outside the temple, the Taoist only said that it should be related to the founder of the temple, and the others did not elaborate.
Although there were still some regrets, Ling Mo was also content, these things that the Taoist said were already secrets that many people could not find out in their lifetimes.
From the mouth of the Taoist, Ling Mo knew that there was actually not only one temple, there were three temples here, and this one was the smallest of the three.
The three bluestone roads behind the three forks that Ling Mo and the others had crossed were actually the roads leading to the three temples, and all of them hid endless dangers, and one wrong step was death.
The road on the left of the three roads is more dangerous, and only the most talented people can pass it, of course, Ling Mo's situation can only be said to be an exception.
There was no danger on the middle road, but the real test was indeed in the largest temple, and the Taoist did not know what was in that temple, only that there was great danger.
As for the road on the right, it is purely a dead end, there is no life, and stepping on that road can basically be declared dead!
As for the exit to the Ominous Lands, it is also in the largest temple in the middle lane, and those who can make it through this temple alive will eventually be teleported there to go through the final test.
Ling Mo asked some more questions, only to know that the passage to the central temple was held by the Daoist, and he also knew that if nothing else, he would meet Bian Ling Xi and them in that temple.
The Taoist disappeared, and he turned into a lifelike stone carving and appeared on the wall, and he said that when Ling Mo was about to leave, he only needed to call him lightly.
Ling Mo didn't leave in a hurry, although there was no chance in this temple, it was rare to provide him with a quiet place, where he didn't have to worry about someone disturbing.
There are a total of one hundred and thirty-seven dead talismans in Ling Mo's body, these dead talismans lurk everywhere in his body, and the dead qi is hidden inside, if it breaks out, Ling Mo may not be able to survive, the better point is that Ling Mo has the ability to refine these dead talismans, it just takes time.
Along the way, Ling Mo refined nineteen death talismans, which was not much, mainly because of the cursed land, Ling Mo did not dare to be distracted to refine. Now that he has time, and there is no threat of death anytime and anywhere, it is a good time to refine the death talisman.
Sitting in the temple, Ling Mo popped out his divine thoughts and stretched out a death talisman to slowly wrap him and begin to refine, this was a very dangerous behavior, and there was no room for a little sloppiness.
Xuan Gong naturally began to operate, the aura in the temple received traction and began to gather around Ling Mo, a large amount of aura entered Ling Mo's body and was stored partly, part of it was transformed into spiritual power, and some of it was poured into the Purple Mansion to nourish his Yuan Shen.
The death talisman can only be refined with the primordial spirit, which is undoubtedly a test of a person's primordial spirit, even if Ling Mo can be called a perverted primordial god cultivator, after a long time, he still has a strong sense of exhaustion.
Ling Mo didn't stop easily, this could be regarded as a kind of training of the Yuan Shen in disguise, and he would only breathe a little when he felt that he was going to really damage the Yuan Shen.
When refining the death talisman, due to the high degree of mental concentration, Ling Mo would often enter an extremely mysterious state, in this state, he almost ignored everything in the outside world, and only had the death talisman in his eyes. In this state, Ling Mo's primordial power was slowly but unstoppably rising.
"Whew!"
Ling Mo almost didn't know how much time had passed, he finally stopped refining. I have to say that the results achieved by refining the death talisman with all my heart and soul are also remarkable, and another forty death talismans have been refined. Moreover, Ling Mo felt that as the refining progressed, he became more and more handy, and he believed that he would complete the refining faster.
It's just that it's time for him to go!
Ling Mo had been in this temple for a long time, he wasn't sure what else would happen, now he needed to go to the central temple!
According to the agreement, Ling Mo called lightly, and the Taoist appeared in the temple, and he said, "Are you ready?"
Ling Mo nodded, and at this time, his state was still adjusted to the best.
The Taoist said: "The road is chosen by yourself, whether you can retreat with your whole body depends on your strength and luck!"
The Taoist said, raised his foot and stepped on the ground, and a black portal appeared in the temple.
Ling Mo looked towards the portal, a strong murderous aura and a dark aura rushed to his face, and the roars and roars were endless, Ling Mo frowned.
"This is the passage to the central temple, and along the way you will also face tests, but the tests will be commensurate with your strength. This time the ring won't shelter you anymore, is it really not qualified to pass through the Ominous Lands, this is the first step, go!"
Ling Mo said goodbye to the Taoist and walked into the black portal without hesitation.
The moment Ling Mo entered the black portal, the portal immediately disappeared, and there was only one road in front of him that could not see the end in front of him, and there were many ghosts around, Ling Mo didn't stop and walked forward.
A cloud of light flew towards Ling Mo's eyebrows, it was a remnant soul. Ling Mo didn't make any moves, but the rolling blood qi came out of his body and shook the remnant soul.
Ling Mo's eyebrows glowed, the Yuan Shen was exactly the field he was good at, and the powerful qi was circulating, and many remnant souls had retreated.
However, this path will not be so simple, just like the Taoist also said, here Ling Mo will encounter a test corresponding to his strength, and Ling Mo's strangeness has attracted a more powerful battle spirit.
It was as if awakened by the vitality on Ling Mo's body, some creatures rushed towards Ling Mo like crazy, and they were simply substantial, and their power was incomparable.
Ling Mo blasted out a punch to repel the battle spirit, and the battle spirit roared and retreated, but then a new battle spirit attacked Ling Mo.
Ling Mo didn't dare to let these battle spirits get close to him, it was very dangerous, if he didn't get it right, he would get lost or even be taken away by these battle spirits.
While fighting and advancing, Ling Mo had walked extremely hard along the way, some of the battle spirits were very strong in their lifetimes, Ling Mo was embarrassed, I don't know how many places were bleeding, and a few times he almost let the war spirits rush into his eyebrows.
With the battle with the remnant souls, their emotions were also infecting Ling Mo, it was the unwillingness and resentment of the deceased, Ling Mo's eyebrows were shining, and he tried his best to resist the influence of the remnant souls on him.
Although he knew that this was very undeserved, but perhaps it was the influence of the remnant souls, as well as the words spoken in the Taoist Temple, his heart suddenly felt in a trance.
Ling Mo couldn't help but think of the Purple Mansion Battle that happened 20,000 years ago.
The battle that ended an era!
