Chapter 17: The Eye of the Array
Through the endless blood-colored mist, it turned out to be a completely different world inside.
Li Hao slowly opened his eyes and looked at him curiously. He felt the rich aura flowing in the air, and he couldn't help but feel relaxed.
The aura here is as rich as soup, taking the form of a milky white liquid that rises and falls in the air. Not far away, is a spacious river, the river water is flowing is also rolling aura, as far as the eye can see, the river meanders and surges, from time to time stirs up waves, stretching I don't know where to flow.
Taking a deep breath and feeling the wonderful taste of the aura flowing in his body, Li Hao couldn't help but be fascinated. He slowly walked towards the depths, while frantically pulling the spiritual energy into his body, turning it into spiritual power and storing it in the dantian demon pill, while releasing his divine consciousness and exploring deeper. Suddenly, his divine consciousness shook, and not far in front of him, there was a faint fluctuation.
Following the guidance, Li Hao quickly ran towards the depths of the aura.
Breaking through the mist, what greeted him was a delicate rune array, countless runes flickering, emitting a brilliant light, enclosing a ten-meter-sized open space, isolated from the outside world.
Looking at the cumbersome and mysterious runes in front of him, Li Hao murmured softly: "Could it be that this is the so-called rune array eye?"
Slowly stepped forward, his hands gently caressing the talisman array. Before he could reach out his divine sense, a powerful pulling force suddenly appeared in the talisman array, sucking Li Hao into the formation in an instant.
Li Hao only felt a dazzling light flickering, subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he couldn't help but be startled. In front of him, a white-haired old man sat cross-legged, motionless like a sculpture.
The aura beside the old man was extremely abundant, turning into a whirlpool of aura about one meter above his head, and the whirlpool rotated slowly, constantly pulling in the aura outside the talisman array. The endless aura swirled and stirred in the whirlpool, and after a long time, a drop of milky white liquid dripped from the center of the whirlpool, and fell on the top of the old man's head with a dingdong, and disappeared in an instant.
Li Hao looked at this scene in a daze, his expression was excited, he could feel that the spiritual energy contained in that drop of liquid was extremely rich, it was the product of countless spiritual qi being compressed, and one drop was probably worth the spiritual power he had refined through a year of uninterrupted cultivation.
Swallowing his saliva, Li Hao saluted respectfully: "Senior?"
At this time, he could already confirm that this place must be the eye of the formation in Berlin's mouth, and the old man in front of him was most likely the guardian of the eye of the formation. Although he couldn't feel the old man's cultivation, he was nourished by the spiritual fluid every day, and the old man's cultivation must be unfathomable.
There was a call, but the old man did not react at all. Li Hao didn't dare to make a mistake, took a step forward, and said respectfully again: "Senior, the younger generation fell into here unintentionally, and I can't find an exit, I hope that the seniors can give me some pointers!"
Li Hao saluted deeply, swept the old man out of the corner of his eye, and stumbled upon something at his feet.
I waited quietly for a moment, but there was still no sound to answer. Li Hao was bold and stepped forward with some curiosity. This time, he could see clearly that at the old man's feet, there was a white paper crane suspended, its wings flapping, as if it was about to fly through the air.
Subconsciously reached out to grab it, and as soon as his fingers touched the wings of the paper crane, the paper crane suddenly bloomed with bright light, turned into a white flame, and flew to Li Hao's forehead with a bang, and exploded.
Caught off guard, Li Hao's head suddenly became cloudy, and he only felt that countless words rushed towards his sea of knowledge like a wave, densely packed, and swallowed his soul in the blink of an eye. The words desperately drilled into his soul, not giving him any time to digest them. It took a long time for him to come back to his senses in a daze.
There was a lot of information in the crane, and all of it was crammed into his mind. If it weren't for the fact that his soul strength was high enough, I am afraid that he would be made a fool by this impact this time. Finally understood the words in his mind clearly, Li Hao finally knew what kind of place this was, and finally knew what Berlin was going to do in the corner of the wooden hall.
It turned out that the old man in front of him was named Zhou Hong, known as the Hongling Daoist, a genuine master of the Triple Heaven of the Entrance Realm, and also Zhou Ming's grandfather, the only surviving Taishang elder of the Zhou family. The paper crane is a suicide note written by the old man before he died, about the true origin of Huangling City and the true mission of the eight families of Huangling City.
It is written in the paper crane that 3,500 years ago, there was an evil dragon near Huangling City, who was the evil world, and almost wiped out all the living beings in the area. At the time of crisis, a cultivator who claimed to be a literate real person stepped forward and invited hundreds of capable people to fight fiercely with the evil dragon for three days and three nights, and finally cut the evil dragon under the sword.
However, although the evil dragon died, his soul was immortal, and he devoured tens of thousands of cultivators and mortals with the evil thoughts in his soul and continued to be evil. In desperation, the literated real person sacrificed his body and soul, fused with the soul of the evil dragon, and based on the huge dragon body, he established a towering city, and laid down the Eight Elemental Dragon Binding Array to suppress the souls of the two together.
After the completion of Huangling City, the eight strong men who helped each other to kill the dragon took root in this area, and each family occupied a corner of the Fu Array, jointly guarding the big array and guarding the safety of Huangling City, so that more than 3,000 years later, Huangling City is still unharmed by the world and can be prosperous and peaceful.
Seeing this, Li Hao couldn't help but glance up at the old man. Since this old man stepped into the entrance realm, he has been guarding the large array until he died, and he is still obsessed with it, and continues to lead the large array to run.
He left a will, originally so that his Zhou family's bloodline could have someone to take his place, but he didn't expect that the Zhou family was withering day by day, and after him, there was no strong person who could step into the entrance realm, so that even after his death, it was difficult for him to feel at ease.
Li Hao took a step back and saluted the old man respectfully again. Although he resented Zhou Ming and the actions of the Zhou family in his heart, the old man had been guarding Huangling City all his life, guarding the safety of tens of millions of living beings in a radius, and this kind of spirit and deeds deserved his respect.
Now that I think about it, the reason why Berlin let him infiltrate Huangling City to destroy the talisman array is probably the idea of the evil dragon he fought. He is now a master of the Nine Heavens of the Entrance Realm, as if he really let him get that evil dragon and improve his cultivation again, I am afraid that no one can control him. At that time, with the hatred between the cultivators and the demon clan, I am afraid that Berlin will lead the demon clan to raze Huangling City to the ground.
Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't help frowning, if tens of millions of people died just for his own thoughts, even if he could safely change his parents, I am afraid they would not forgive him.
Besides, the Berlin was vague and did not tell him the truth. When the time comes, it will be a big question whether the agreement will be kept.
"Senior, what should I do!" Looking at the old man, Li Hao couldn't help but feel depressed, and said helplessly.
At this moment, the rune array suddenly flickered, and a hole suddenly opened, and a white paper crane flew out of it. Li Hao subconsciously caught it, swept his senses, and saw a message.
"Brother Zhou, the hundred-year time has come, please go to the Chen Mansion in three months to talk about the town guard!"
Li Hao suddenly realized that this paper crane must have been passed down by the city lord of Huangling City, the predecessor of the Chen family, to inform Zhou Hong to discuss the matter of guarding the town. It's just that he shouldn't have imagined that the person who guarded the Zhou family's formation had passed away and could no longer go.
Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't help but be stunned, since Zhou Hong had passed away, the Dragon Binding Array was equivalent to being incomplete, although Zhou Hong's obsession was still working in the Spiritual Qi Guarantee Array, but the power must be much less than before. If, in a few years, his obsession dissipates, I am afraid that without destroying it himself, Berlin will be able to come and claim the treasure on its own.
Thinking about it slightly, Li Hao suddenly had a plan in his heart.
Glancing at Zhou Hong, Li Hao cautiously confessed and reached out to touch him. The old man's body was cold, and it was as hard as iron, really like a sculpture of ice and snow. Li Hao found that the clothes on his body had been glued together with his body, and he didn't find anything after touching it for a long time.
Scratching his head, he relentlessly began to look around him to see if anything was left. Finally, Li Hao found a ring between his legs.
As soon as he arrived, Li Hao couldn't wait to probe into his divine sense. Although Zhou Hong still has a trace of obsession left, his soul has died, so this ring has also become an ownerless thing, and it doesn't take too much effort to be refined by Li Hao.
The space in the ring is very large, more than twenty square meters, but now it is empty, and there is not even a spirit stone. Li Hao searched all over and found only a brand and a small piece of lens in the corner.
Li Hao put two things in front of him and looked at them carefully.
I don't know what material the brand is made of, the whole body is black, the hand is very light but hard as iron, one side is engraved with the word "Zhou" of dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and the other side is engraved with a silver mirror. Li Hao thought about it, this brand seemed to be a token held by the patriarch of the Zhou family, he had seen it in Zhou Ming's hands before, but the materials were completely different. Zhou Ming's side is made of tungsten iron, which is extremely heavy, representing the identity of the head of the family.
The other thing was a small piece of lens, which appeared to have been removed from one side, tattered and stained with dried blood.
Li Hao stared at the two things and couldn't help but ponder. I only entered the formation by accident, although I don't know if it's because I have cultivated demon skills, but it is definitely not a normal method. According to the general rune array, there will be a special token when you enter and exit, just like a key, which can be opened safely.
Since Zhou Hong is the last generation of the Zhou family, he should carry this token on his body: the token engraved with the word 'Zhou' should be the token of the head of the Zhou family, so the token is
Li Hao turned his head, looked at the broken mirror, and muttered to himself in his heart: Could it be this thing?
Reaching out and taking the remnant mirror to look at it carefully, except for the blood stained on the mirror, it looked no different from an ordinary stone mirror.
Although he didn't believe it in his heart, he still opened his mouth, spit out a mouthful of spiritual power, and sprayed it on the stone mirror.
The spiritual power was like mist, wrapped in the stone mirror, exuding a misty aura. However, the stone mirror still lay quietly. There seemed to be no reaction.
However, Li Hao's divine sense was keenly aware that the stone mirror seemed to be alive, devouring spiritual power little by little. After a little hesitation, Li Hao cautiously poked out his divine sense, like refining a magic weapon, imprinted his divine sense in the stone mirror, and put it into the dantian.
Three inches below the lower abdomen, in the dantian. A broken stone mirror floated quietly under the demon pill. The milky white demon pill swirled in clusters, shooting down a brilliant spiritual power, like a waterfall, enveloping the stone mirror. Stimulated by infinite spiritual power, the originally ordinary stone mirror suddenly lit up with a glimmer of light. In the slightest light, those dried blood stains seemed to come to life, swimming quickly in the stone mirror. The speed at which it swam faster and faster, the light of the stone mirror became bigger and bigger, and as the stone mirror awakened, the entire rune array lit up.
Countless runes flickered, as if they had been stimulated by something, and suddenly emitted a thousand rays of light, enveloping Li Hao inside.
