Chapter 65: The Black Temple and the Furnace
Bai Xiangzhu witnessed Hua Xia Jiu's expression change, but she felt a pain in her heart for no reason, she didn't know why Hua Xia Jiu's face changed suddenly, and she didn't know why she was very uncomfortable.
She is like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, who has been wronged by her lover, and her eyes are a little red. But after all, she is the proud daughter of heaven who has lived for more than 120 years and ranks among the top 100 on the list of heavenly luck out of the body. Therefore, she didn't cry, and her expression quickly returned to normal, but when she looked at Hua Xia Jiu, there was a trace of resentment in the depths of her eyes.
Hua Xia Jiu didn't see the change in her expression, even if he did, he could only see that she was a little unhappy at most, how could the others be seen.
Bai Xiangzhu, like many girls in the world who were bullied by their lovers, finally planned to forgive Hua Xia Jiu, but the speed at which she forgave was too fast.
She glared at Hua Xia Jiu fiercely again, more ruthlessly than before, she seemed to have practiced a magical spell, and released the grievances in her heart through her glare.
She succeeded, so the dissatisfaction with Hua Xia Jiu in her heart had disappeared with her glare.
After she stomped her foot like a girl, she quickly chased after the stunned young man.
Bypassing the keel nearly two or three meters high, a towering mountain wall appeared in the distance, and below the mountain wall, there was a dark palace close to the stone wall.
In a short time, the two of them had already walked close to the palace.
Hua Xia Jiu looked up at the palace, on the horizontal plaque as black as ink, there were three big characters as black as ink, if it weren't for the convex outline of the big characters, even the plaque could only be seen, but not the words.
Although the color of this palace is a little darker, and the yin qi is too heavy, Hua Xia Jiu can still see at a glance that the style and structure of the palace belongs to the same type as the other palaces of the Purple Shadow Sect, obviously different from the previous stone steps, this palace and other buildings of the Purple Shadow Sect should belong to the same era and were built.
This time, Bai Xiangzhu took the initiative to go to the front and took the lead in walking towards the hall.
Hua Xia Jiu followed, the person did not enter, and the soul consciousness had instinctively penetrated.
As far as the soul can see, the furnishings in the hall are simple, but there is a thing in it that can't see the shape of the body clearly, I only feel that there is an extremely strong netherworld aura in this thing, and the blood is strong to the extreme, like a desolate beast crawling in the hall, in the powerful blood, faintly mixed with a thick and powerful energy, this kind of energy Huaxia Jiu has never seen before, but can faintly feel that this energy is extremely pure.
The door of the hall is not deep, and the nine souls of Huaxia have just been shocked in their hearts, but they have already seen the scene in the hall with the naked eye.
The furnishings in the hall are extremely simple, a white futon, and a white ashlar used by the Purple Ghost Sect to brush the contribution points.
Because the entire palace is as black as ink inside and out, these two white objects look extremely eye-catching. In addition to these two white things, there are four white things that are more eye-catching.
He has white hair in a shawl, a white beard hanging down, and two long white eyebrows over his cheeks. In total, it is white everywhere, without a hint of variegation, and is pure white like white ashlar.
In fact, the old man's bare skin outside his clothes is also very white because he has not seen sunlight for nearly a thousand years, or even longer, but it is nothing compared to the other six whites, and it even looks a little ruddy, which is the kind of baby skin ruddy.
On top of the white futon sat an old man, who seemed to be asleep and as if he was in meditation and cultivation. After Hua Xia Jiu saw the old man, his pupils contracted, and the powerful blood qi like a desolate giant beast that he saw in his soul just now, and the pure xenomorph energy in the blood, was actually this old man with a snow-white beard, eyebrows, and hair.
And what surprised Hua Xia Jiu the most was that at this time, as far as the naked eye could see, this old man clearly did not feel the slightest aura of cultivation.
However, he faintly felt a familiar aura on the old man, somewhat similar to the colorful tiger demon king who was killed by him in Heba City.
Hua Xia Jiu secretly guessed the identity of the old man in his heart, could this old man be the grandfather of the soil that Bai Xiangzhu said before. While secretly speculating, he looked around the hall, and he faintly felt that this palace was not so dark, but was eroded by the rich yin qi here all year round, so it became a black hall entirely.
Bai Xiangzhu pulled Hua Xia Jiu, who was looking around at the ghosts, saluted the old man respectfully, and said obediently: "I've seen Grandpa Tu!"
The old man slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Bai Xiangzhu and Hua Xia Jiu with sleepy eyes, his eyes were cloudy, really like an old man who was about to die.
The old man first glanced at Bai Xiangzhu, and then looked at Hua Xia Jiu, a trace of doubt and surprise flashed in his cloudy eyes, and then the cloudy color disappeared in an instant, and a trace of light flashed in his eyes, he looked at Hua Xia Jiu in a daze, his long white eyebrows trembled, as if he was trying to recall something important, but because the time was too long, he couldn't remember.
Sure enough, the old man frowned slightly, took a deep look at Hua Xia Jiu, and then his eyes returned to turbidity, turned his head to look at Bai Xiangzhu, yawned, and said, "It turned out to be Xiao Xiangzhu!
Bai Xiangzhu said coquettishly: "Grandpa Tu! Xiangzhu has already selected the Immortal Beast, you forgot." ”
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Oh! That's what Grandpa Tu forgot." ”
"Grandpa Tu! I accompanied the little junior brother into the Netherworld Cave. Bai Xiangzhu pointed at Hua Xia Jiu and said.
Hua Xia Jiu stepped forward at the right time, saluted respectfully again, and said, "Disciple Hua Xia Jiu, I have seen Grandpa Tu!"
The old man bowed slightly, and said, "I haven't seen the little guy in the Huadan Realm for a long time, but your little guy is very good, well--I remember that I haven't received a disciple on the Netherworld Mountain for a long time." Little one, who is your master?"
Hua Xia Jiu replied, "Disciple Master is a ghost. ”
When the old man heard this, his expression was stunned, and he looked at Hua Xia Jiu deeply, and he didn't know how long it took before he let out a long sigh and said, "Alas, he still didn't come in the end? He let you go into the Netherworld Cave, although you are very good, but you are still too weak, that guy--"
Bai Xiangzhu listened to Grandpa Tu's words, and had no special feelings, thinking that he was just saying that Huaxia Jiu's strength was not enough to enter the Netherworld Cave.
But Hua Xia Jiu originally had a lot of incomprehension and confusion about entering the Netherworld Cave and taking away the Netherworld Pet this time. Therefore, these words fell on his ears, but they lifted his spirits, and he saw a lot of information through this sentence without a beginning or an end.
"Alas, the master's catastrophe is imminent, and there is no way to let this little guy enter the Netherworld Cave earlier!" the old man sighed again in his heart, and secretly thought in his heart.
"If the disciple wants to enter the Netherworld Cave, please ask Grandpa Tu to fulfill it. Hua Xia Jiuyan saw that the old man was silent for a long time, and was a little worried that the old man would not let him enter the Netherworld Cave now, so he pleaded.
The old man glanced at Hua Xia Jiu, waved his right hand, and the space behind him fluctuated, and a big black cave appeared in front of Hua Xia Jiu.
On the left side of the cave, there is a stone monument with some traces of words on it, but it is no longer clear to see.
Hua Xia Jiu walked over curiously, his palm brushed the cold stele, the rough and deep traces on the stone surface swept in his palm, he closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of thoughtfulness.
The characters on the stele were naturally the three big characters of 'Netherworld Cave', but he found that this stele was not a product of the same era as the black palace, but may have been erected in the same period as the blue and black stone steps.
The old man no longer looked at Hua Xia Jiu and said, "You go in! There just happened to be no other disciples in the cave. What neither Hua Xia Jiu nor Bai Xiangzhu noticed was that since the old man knew that Hua Xia Jiu was the apprentice of the ghost, he had never used the little guy in the title of Hua Xia Jiu, even if Hua Xia Jiu was too young compared to him, his strength was weak.
In addition, he deliberately said that there was no one else in the cave, as if he meant something, so as to facilitate Hua Xia Jiu's actions.
"Grandpa Tu! The strength of the little junior brother is too weak, I want to go in with him and protect him. Without waiting for Hua Xia Jiu to say anything, Bai Xiangzhu hurriedly approached Hua Xia Jiu and said to the old man.
The old man was stunned when he heard this, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, and then he looked at Bai Xiangzhu carefully, although he was not a human being, but he had lived too long, and he didn't know how much human love and hatred he had seen, Bai Xiangzhu himself didn't know that he had a deep love for Huaxia Jiu, but the old man could easily see this matter through her look at Huaxia Jiu's expression and tone when he spoke.
The old man looked at Bai Xiangzhu with a complicated expression, sighed deeply again in his heart, and secretly said: "Every Hades Monarch must have a Hell Furnace that is deeply rooted in his affection, which is used to carry the memory impact brought by the power of faith. Time is too urgent, but fortunately, this girl has a deep love for this kid, and her strength is okay. ”
"You guys go in!" the old man sighed slightly in his heart, his eyes returned to turbidity again, and said lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored the two of them, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to have fallen asleep again.
Bai Xiangzhu was inexplicably looked at by the old man, but when he heard that the old man agreed to let her in, and it seemed that he didn't even have to accept the contribution points, he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and spit out his fragrant tongue cutely, pulled Hua Xia Jiu and hurriedly saluted the old man, and then got into the big black cave.
The ground in the cave sloped downward at an angle of sixty or seventy degrees, and the cave was pitch black, but under the soul consciousness of the two of them, it was not much different from daytime. Both sides of the cave are stone walls like ordinary caves, but the stone walls are pitch black throughout, and they seem to be darker than the palace outside.
On the way here, Bai Xiangzhu had already briefly told Hua Xia Jiu about some of the situation of the Netherworld Cave, so Huaxia Jiu knew that this place was not really in the Netherworld Cave.
As the two of them walked forward, the yin qi in the cave became more and more intense. The exercises practiced by the two of them were all Netherworld Divine Skills, and not only did they not feel the slightest discomfort, but they felt that the true yuan in the dantian was more active.
The yin wind blew, the ghost cried, and before they really entered the netherworld cave, the ghost fire was lit, and there were many yin spirits hidden in the depths of the cave.
But the strength of the two of them was not weak, and they deliberately exuded a powerful aura, and after these yin spirits felt their aura, they did not dare to approach. Therefore, as the two of them passed along the way, these yin spirits avoided one after another. Fortunately, their bodies are illusory, even if they overlap each other, they are nothing, and they can even burrow into the stone wall.
Bai Xiangzhu had expected this, and it was not the first time he had seen it, so he was a little accustomed to it, but Hua Xia Jiu was full of curiosity about it, and he soon discovered that these Yin Spirits were somewhat similar to the Yin Spirits that the Nether Chain used to test. In other words, these Yin Spirits are great tonics for him, and maybe they can also be used as food for young dragon skeletons.
Hua Xia Jiu wanted to absorb these Yin Spirits now and enlarge his soul form, but when he thought of Bai Xiangzhu by his side, he hesitated, and in the end he didn't act rashly.
Today is just one more monthly pass, but Xiao Jiu did what he said, and still sent three watches, so far today's update has exceeded 10,000 words. In the end, I begged for a monthly ticket again, begged for support, begged for a red ticket, begged for a collection, and begged for praise.
