Walking in the Heavenly City, you can see a cloud-like light from time to time, revealing a broken jade bridge or a corner of a collapsed palace, like the corpse of a beast exposed in the mist.

"Isn't Tianmen one of the four forbidden areas? It's so hard to even get into, and who broke it like this? Li Xiu asked after Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi said: "Since the discovery of Tianmen, it has been like this, even in the historical documents of the Demon Kingdom, Tianmen has always been like this, and when it was called the Four Forbidden Areas by the Demon Kingdom, it was in such a state. ”

After a pause, Li Qingyi continued: "Don't look at this city, it seems that there is not even a complete building, but even if it is just a remnant brick and a corridor tile, it has incomparably terrifying power. Someone once picked up a jade brick in this heavenly city and secretly took it out, but in less than a week, the whole family died mysteriously, and then no one who came into contact with the jade brick survived. When those people died mysteriously, an investigation was also carried out in the city, and the cause was not found, dozens of people died in a row, and finally found the jade brick, and the investigators who came into contact with the jade bricks also died mysteriously, and then an elder sent the jade brick back to Tianmen, which was able to calm down the death turmoil, but the elder also disappeared from then on, and there was no one in life or death. ”

Li Xiu's heart was shocked when he heard this: "Just a jade brick is so terrifying, we have come this way, I don't know how many jade bricks we have stepped on, won't we die without a place to be buried?" ”

"You don't have to worry so much, as long as you don't take the things out of the Heavenly City, it's no problem just to touch these jade bricks." Li Qingyi said when he suddenly heard a cry like a cow's roar, coming from the depths of the cloud-like light.

"Demon Spirit!" Li Xiu's heart jumped.

It's not a good thing to meet demon spirits in this kind of place, I heard Lao Dao say before, there is no demon spirit in the Heavenly Gate below the super spirit, at least it is also a super spirit.

Although Li Xiu has a Jedi Knight on his body, his own level is too low, so he is afraid that he will encounter a demon spirit that attacks in a range, and the Jedi may not be able to block all the attacks at that time.

"It should be a demon spirit, but don't worry, when I followed the elders to the Heavenly Gate before, I could often hear this roar, and I heard the elders say that every time they come to Heavenly City, they can also hear this sound, but they have never seen the owner of this roar appear." Li Qingyi thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, as long as we follow this route, there won't be much problem, this route has been explored by many predecessors and powerhouses, and there won't be too much risk." ”

"What happens if you don't follow this route?" Li Xiu asked curiously.

"Then it's hard to say, you may encounter a terrifying demon spirit that can kill us in an instant, or maybe you may die in this heavenly city without knowing how to die. The Gate of Heaven is mysterious, and there are too many people who have died in it. Not to mention you and me, even if it is a light-based trialist, they can only take it step by step here, and they dare not have the slightest negligence. Li Qingyi said as he walked, and in the clouds and mist in front of him, a jade bridge suddenly appeared.

The bridge is two or three meters wide, the whole jade bridge is white jade, and there are many strange patterns carved on the bridge railing, there are clouds, rain, thunder and lightning, and there are strange beasts and birds.

The clouds and mist are rolling under the jade bridge, and you can't see whether there is water under the bridge, and you can't see anything when the jade bridge is three meters away, and you don't know where the bridge leads.

"After crossing this Yunjian Bridge, you are almost at the execution platform." Li Qingyi did not go directly to the bridge, but walked to the side of the bridge.

Li Xiu followed her for a few steps, and saw a small temple-like building next to the bridge.

The building was extremely small, only half a person high, about the waist of Li Xiu, about the size of a kennel, but the carved beams and paintings were extremely exquisite.

Within the arch of the building, there is an equally small and miniature confession, and behind the confession is a shrine with a jade tablet standing on it.

I saw that there were several Demon Kingdom characters written on the tablet, and Li Xiu recognized it at a glance, and it was written "The Position of the Land Grandmother".

Li Qingyi stood in front of the small temple and respectfully bowed to the tablet on the altar three times.

Something strange happened, Li Xiu saw that some simple lines appeared on the jade plate, as if it was a smiling face pattern.

The pattern disappeared in a flash, and if it weren't for Li Xiu's sharp eyes, he almost thought it was his hallucination.

Li Qingyi saw the smiling face pattern, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Grandma Land can keep safe, she smiled, indicating that there is no worry ahead, and she will definitely be able to pass smoothly, you can also come and worship." ”

Li Xiu nodded, stood on the position given by Li Qingyi, followed Li Qingyi's example, and bowed to the tablet of Grandma Land.

When Li Xiu raised his head and looked at the tablet, he was stunned for a moment.

I saw that on the white jade-like tablet, there were blood marks one after another, like traces of blood and tears.

After Li Qingyi worshiped before, the smiling face disappeared as soon as it appeared, but these blood stains were like dirty blood dried on the tablet, and there was no sign of dissipation at all.

"What's going on?" Li Xiu got up and looked at Li Qingyi next to him.

Li Qingyi said with a strange expression: "I only heard the elders say that if there is a smiling face on the tablet of the land grandmother, it means that there is no worry ahead, and it can pass safely." But if Grandma Land shows an unhappy face, it means that there will be disaster ahead, and you may encounter something like a demon. I have never heard of such a situation, and I don't know what it means, but it does not seem to be an auspicious omen. ”

"Or ...... I'll bow again......" Li Xiu muttered.

"But you can't do it again, and it won't work if you worship it again." Li Qingyi shook his head and said.

"So what do we do now, do we want to keep going?" Li Xiu looked at Li Qingyi and asked.

"This vision is unpredictable, and the future may be unpredictable, otherwise forget it today, let's come back another day." Li Qingyi looked at the blood marks on the tablet and groaned.

"There was no problem when you worshiped before, I walked with you, how could you have no problem with me, I have a problem, I don't think this red should be a bad omen, you see how festive this red is, it should be a good omen." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Li Qingyi said solemnly: "This is not a place to joke, the slightest mistake is a catastrophe, there is no reason to guess like this." ”

"It's not a guess, the results of the two times shouldn't be opposed, but since you think there's a problem, let's just leave it at that." Li Xiu said.

"Then let's go back." Li Qingyi said and walked back with Li Xiu.

Not long after leaving, Li Qingyi suddenly stopped Li Xiu, put his finger in front of his lips, and motioned for Li Xiu to silence.

Li Xiu immediately understood what Li Qingyi meant, stood there without moving, listened with his ears sideways, and vaguely heard someone talking in the clouds and mist in the distance.

It's just that because the distance is too far, Li Xiu can only vaguely hear a little human voice, but he can't hear what he is saying.

Li Qingyi listened for a moment, his face changed slightly, he put his lips to Li Xiu's ear, and said in a very low voice: "It's not good, I heard the voices of Bai Wanli and Han Mingshou, there should be other people, but the others didn't speak, and I don't know how many people there are, they should be coming for you, I didn't expect them to find out and chase after you so quickly." ”

"Is there a place where people can be hidden?" Li Xiu frowned and asked.

"You can't walk around here, you can't hide people, unless you cross the Yunjian Bridge, there is a jade building before you reach the torture platform, there is no danger in the building, you can take refuge for a while." Li Qingyi's face was a little unpleasant.

"Then cross the Cloud Bridge first." Li Xiu said.

Li Qingyi was a little hesitant, after all, there was a strange sign on the tablet of Grandma Land, and they must have known about the Jade Tower, in case they also went to the Jade Tower, the two of them still had nowhere to hide.

"There's nothing to hesitate about, let's go." Li Xiu knew that Bai Wanli himself was here, and this time he must have all the preparations to kill him, if he was against the enemy, he was afraid that it would be more than lucky.

Li Qingyi also knew that there might be no good result in facing them head-on now, so he had to turn around and walk towards Yunjian Bridge with Li Xiu.

After the two stepped on the Yunjian Bridge, nothing special happened, and under the leadership of Li Qingyi, they accelerated their pace and headed towards the other end of the Yunjian Bridge.

The light outside the bridge between the clouds was surging, and the sea of clouds was rolling, and the front and back were all emitting halo mist, which was quite a bit of a person walking in the heavenly palace.

After walking for a long time, Li Xiu had been measuring his steps, and was a little shocked to find that a jade bridge in this area was more than a hundred miles long, and it still hadn't come to an end.

After a while, I finally came to the end of the jade bridge, and after getting off the bridge, the clouds and mist in front of me seemed to fade a little, and the eyes could see the distance of twenty or thirty meters.

You can vaguely see many collapsed buildings on both sides, lying on the side of the road like monsters.

After walking not far, Li Qingxiu identified the path and turned along a collapsed jade wall and walked inside.

Li Xiu followed her for a while, and saw a three-story octagonal jade tower appear in front of her.

Half of the plaque on the door of the octagonal jade tower was broken, and the remaining half had two demon country text symbols on it, Li Xiu recognized the two demon country characters, and the meaning should probably be "jade view".

Because there is no word on the back, I don't know what is written on the whole plaque.

"This Yujinglou is very safe, if you encounter danger, you can go here to hide, I don't know why, the demon spirit will not enter the Yujinglou, but those places near this Yujinglou can't walk around, many people who come here are lost nearby." Li Qingyi pushed the door and walked in: "Let's hide here first, those people in Bai Wanli must be looking for us, they think that we have arrived at the torture table, they must be in a hurry to go to the torture platform, and after they pass, we will hurry back the same way." ”

After Li Xiu entered the Yujing Building, he closed the door and looked at the scene inside the building.

This octagonal tower has eight walls, there is a door in the front and back, and there is a pictographic pattern carved on each wall, and the patterns that Li Xiu can recognize are wind, rain, thunder, lightning, frost, fire, clouds, and there is also a pattern, Li Xiu can't guess what it represents.

"The walls on this floor are engraved with wind, rain, thunder, electricity, frost, fire, clouds, and eight kinds of celestial phenomena, and the walls on the second floor are also engraved with patterns, but they have become eight kinds of beasts, and the third layer is eight kinds of symbols, and those symbols are extremely strange, not our words, nor the words of the Demon Kingdom......" Li Qingyi whispered.

"Wind and rain, thunder, lightning, frost, fire, clouds, I know what they are, what kind of celestial phenomena are they?" Li Xiu asked.

"I don't know, I just heard from the elders that this kind of celestial phenomenon only exists in the Heavenly City, and someone once saw that kind of celestial phenomenon from afar, but he saw it from a distance, and his eyes were blind after that, according to him, that kind of celestial phenomenon cannot be imaged, and there is a great terror in it." Li Qingyi listened intently while talking, but Bai Wanli and his party did not appear.

"Let's go to the second and third floors." Li Xiu was quite interested in these things.

Li Qingyi nodded, and took Li Xiu up the stairs to the second floor.

After going up to the second floor, Li Xiu looked at the eight walls on the second floor, and sure enough, he saw the patterns of eight kinds of strange beasts.

He may know all the eight kinds of beasts, dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, horses, tigers, oxen, sheep, and apes.

It's just that the horse has a pair of wings, the cow has three eyes, and the sheep has three heads, only the pattern of the ape looks relatively normal, but the patterns are about the same size, but it seems that the ape is bigger than those cattle and sheep, I don't know why.

After looking at it for a while, Li Xiu and Li Qingyi went up to the third floor again, there were no windows on the first and second floors, but there were eight windows on the third floor, and the windows only had frames and no glass, so they could see the outside directly.

Directly above each window, there is a palm-sized symbol engraved, Li Xiu looked at it for a while, and sure enough, he didn't know it, it was not a commonly used Demon Country script, and there was no similar symbol in the dictionary of the Demon Academy.

While Li Xiu was studying those symbols, Li Qingyi leaned against the window and looked out, and after a while, Li Qingyi's face changed slightly and made a gesture to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu cautiously leaned over, and under the cover of the wall, he quietly looked out, and found that there were four figures walking from the halo of clouds and mist, and looking at the direction they were coming, it turned out to be this Yujing Tower.

Li Xiu and Li Qingyi glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

After a while, the four people got closer, and Li Xiu found that they were all old acquaintances, Bai Wanli, Su Bancheng, Han Mingshou and Wan Chaoxin.

"This Li family really looks up to me, Su Bancheng, Han Mingshou and Wan Chaoxin are all super spiritual powerhouses, plus a Bai Wanli whose strength does not know the depths, if I really fight here, I am afraid that Li Qingyi will not be able to protect me." Li Xiu thought to himself.

"Improvisation." Li Qingyi stretched out his finger and wrote four words on the back of Li Xiu's hand.

Li Xiu nodded, and Li Qingyi continued to write: "If they go up to the third floor, we will hide on the roof outside. ”

Li Xiu nodded again, his eyes secretly staring at the four people outside.

"Bai Wanli, this person is very scary, be careful." Li Qingyi went on to write.

When Bai Wanli and the four of them went downstairs, they did not enter Yujing Tower directly, but stood in front of the door and chatted there.

"I've heard of Yujinglou for a long time, and when I saw it today, there are indeed some doorways, but I'm afraid it's not a real building." Su Bancheng held a jade folding fan in his hand, shook the fan and said.

"What is this not a building?" Han Mingshou asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the furnace." Su Bancheng looked at Yujinglou and said.

"Thatched house?" Han Mingshou said coldly.

"No, it's the furnace of the alchemy furnace." Su Bancheng said.

"Whose Dan furnace looks like this?" Han Mingshou felt that Su Bancheng was talking nonsense, this was clearly a three-story building.

Su Bancheng smiled and said: "The octagonal of this building corresponds to the eight doors of opening, rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, and shock, the door of the entrance on the first floor corresponds to the door of life, the back door corresponds to the door of death, and the eight windows of the third floor correspond to the position of the gossip, this is the layout of the gossip alchemy furnace, ordinary people do not build a building like this, this building seems to be a building, but the actual layout is a furnace." If someone lives in such a building, I am afraid that within a month, all the blood relatives in the family will be like death, this building ...... Refining ......"

"This is the forbidden area of the Heavenly Gate of the Demon Kingdom, and your Xuanmen theories on the earth may not apply here." Han Mingshou said.

"Just say it casually, and everyone should have fun." Su Bancheng also did not argue with Han Mingshou.

Bai Wanli stopped the two of them from continuing, and said: "Now Li Qingyi should have sought an opportunity to be promoted to the light base level on that torture platform, we must deal with Li Xiu before Li Qingyi is promoted to the light base level, otherwise after Li Qingyi is promoted to the light base level, with her protecting Li Xiu, it will be inconvenient for us to do it again." ”

"In that case, why don't you just go to the torture platform and go to this Yujing Tower for what?" Wan Chaoxin said.

Bai Wanli smiled and said: "Don't be impatient, if we go to the torture platform at this time, if we attack Li Xiu, it will affect Li Qingyi on the torture platform, so that Li Qingyi will suffer the backlash of the torture platform, and if he fails to advance, he will lose his life, and no one can afford this responsibility." ”

Bai Wanli said and looked at Yujinglou: "Yujinglou is the center of an area near here, Yujinglou Bafang corresponds to the eight special buildings in this area, and the torture platform is in the middle, in fact, this Yujinglou is a control center, using Yujinglou, we can make some changes to the torture platform, isolate the torture platform from the area outside the torture platform, so that Li Qingyi and Li Xiu on the stage can be completely separated, so as not to get in the way of Li Qingyi." ”

"And this kind of thing? How come I haven't heard of it? Wan Chaoxin frowned.

"The Heavenly Gate is mysterious and unpredictable, and the secrets are unknown, even if you are an adult, it is impossible to know all the secrets in the Heavenly Gate." Bai Wanli narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's go to the second floor first, use the Eight Phases on the second floor to control the torture table, and isolate the torture table from the outside world first." ”

The four mermaids rushed in, and soon came to the second floor of the Yujing Building.

Li Xiu and Li Qingyi cautiously lay near the staircase, listening to the movement below.

"What's the mechanism here?" Wan Chaoxin asked, looking at the empty second floor.

"The eight phases on this wall are the center that controls the eight buildings, and the Vajra ape corresponds to the torture platform, as long as the Vajra ape is activated, the torture platform can be isolated." Bai Wanli said.

"How do I start?" Wan Chaoxin asked, looking at the Vajra Ape.

"Look carefully, there are some depressions in the notches of the Vajra ape, as long as the corresponding magic core is embedded in it, you can activate the Vajra ape." Bai Wanli said.

"So what are you waiting for? Quickly isolate the torture platform and kill Li Xiu as soon as possible. Han Mingshou also said.

"Don't be in a hurry, Li Qingyi doesn't want to be promoted to the light base level so quickly, maybe it hasn't started yet, wait a little longer, lest it start early." Bai Wanli said and looked at Wan Chaoxin: "Chief Wan Chao, that little aunt and grandmother of your family should be in the Wan Garden now, not far from the torture platform, should we go over and say hello first?" ”
