Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Ruins of the Royal City
Purple Ruin Island was once the location of the imperial capital of the Purple Yin Demon Dynasty 10,000 years ago, and it was rumored that there was purple gas coming from the east, endlessly, hovering on the island, and then condensing into clouds, such as a crown and a cover. The world was amazed and named Zixu Island.
The Purple Yin Demon Dynasty has long been annihilated in the long river of time, the bloodline of the Mengshi royal family has withered, and today's Zixu Island is one of the rare ownerless islands in the Haoyun Sea, with many forces on the island, which is intricately intertwined, and no one is willing to give up the spiritual vein that is as high as the third order, and the many relics left behind after the fall of the Demon Dynasty have also attracted countless monks to explore.
After about two hours of flying, the crowd reached the outskirts of the ruins of the royal city. This place is all a jungle canyon, four Jindan real people floated down, protecting everyone around, from time to time there are demon beasts attacking, they have been done by them two or three moves, all the way to protect everyone.
Everyone walked nearly three miles, and finally saw a dilapidated city, the red bricks and green tiles were covered with moss, the broken city wall had been wrapped in a wall, the towering pavilion was entwined with vines, a green and vast scene, as if abandoned by this earthly place, although it has long been no longer brilliant, but it is difficult to hide the majesty of the year.
The rumored Ancient Secret Realm exudes a green light, just under the city wall, replacing the original city gate, and the scene in it is not clear and looks mysterious.
Seeing this, everyone was extremely excited, and they stepped into it one after another, and since Jindan Zhenren could not enter, the four of them stayed here.
Liu Qingyue also followed the footsteps of everyone and walked in, this was the second time he had entered the secret realm, the last time was the secret realm of Qingwei ten years ago.
When his body was integrated into the secret realm, Liu Qingyue's eyes suddenly opened up, and he was a mile away from the city, and what he saw was the vast and boundless land, and the majestic city stood impressively in the middle.
But seeing the black and oppressive figures on the city wall, no one dared to take half a step forward.
Lan Hexuan was surrounded by four personal guards from the foundation building period, looked around, and said, "Which of you will go to find out the situation first?" ”
A male cultivator who volunteered jumped out, and with a brisk escape, he had already arrived at the city in the blink of an eye. After observing for a while, he hurriedly returned and shouted: "There are puppets and stone statues on the city wall, which are used to scare people, so everyone should come here." ”
Then they went to the city.
The gates of the city were open, and there was nothing to obstruct them, and it seemed very peaceful.
Liu Qingyue was already vigilant, his spirit maintained a high degree of concentration, and he knew that danger often lurked in tranquility.
When everyone entered the city, they heard a "bang", and the gate was tightly closed.
The crowd couldn't help but panic, because there was no way out, and there were high walls on all sides, full of twenty zhang high, besieging everyone, only the two huge gates in front and back, but they were all firmly locked at the moment.
Several bolder monks used their spiritual power, and the spiritual weapons flew and slashed with swords.
It's a pity that the giant gate didn't move at all, and only heard a magnificent voice of thousands of people shouting in unison: "Trespassers! No mercy! ”
Before the words fell, the puppet stone statues on the city wall seemed to come to life, making a "creaking" sound, twisting their necks, looking at the many monks under the city like turtles in an urn, and the crossbow in their hands was lost. While! While! "The ground shot out.
The reaction of everyone was also extremely fast, and they all danced the spiritual weapons in their hands to shoot down the crossbows that were fired.
If the number was small, it would have been enough, but the number of crossbow arrows was too large, dense like cow hair, and after a few breaths, several monks died because of their inability to defend.
Liu Qingyue held the fire jade ruler in his hand, and the fire splashed between the waves, continuously cutting off the crossbow arrows that were shot, just as he was concentrating on coping, he was unexpectedly dragged by someone with his left hand, and his whole body was pulled to the side.
The person who dragged him was Lang Yun, and her husband Li Tianxing's main spiritual root was the earth system, and his spiritual power had turned into a thick earth wall, blocking all those crossbows.
The two hid behind Li Tianxing, Liu Qingyue's hand was pulled very tightly by Lang Yun, and their bodies were also very tight, but now that their lives were at stake, where could they care so much.
"Four Elephant Bagua Shield!" Lan Hexuan's four personal guards worked together to operate the formation, turning into an invisible shield of light that was two feet long, enveloping everyone, and the crossbow arrows were all blocked out.
After a cup of tea and a round of fire, the puppet stone statue stopped moving, the front and rear doors opened automatically, and everything returned to calm, except for a few more corpses on the ground and thousands of crossbows missing.
Since they have entered this mysterious ancient secret realm, casualties are naturally very common, although yesterday they were still friends of wine and meat at the same banquet, no one will feel sorry for them at this moment.
Lan Hexuan's eyes swept over everyone and said, "The door has been opened, continue to move forward." ”
Liu Qingyue also came back to his senses, immediately let go of Lang Yun's delicate little hand, and said, "Thank you Mrs. Lang for your help." ”
"There's no need to be polite, if the concubine is in danger later, Liu Daoyou will also help." Lang Yun smiled sweetly.
"Well, definitely." Liu Qingyue is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and nodded solemnly.
In an instant, everyone stepped into the second city gate, and found that there were only some ordinary houses in front of them, with empty streets and alleys, deserted, and not half a figure in sight.
Along the way, everyone was afraid of fraud and was always vigilant, but they did not encounter any danger until they entered the middle gate of the palace.
Before the forbidden palace of the palace, three thousand soldiers and armor were waiting for them, all of them were stone dolls, among which the first one was one zhang tall, holding an eight-foot three-pointed two-edged knife, wearing a jade-colored unicorn armor, a bright blood-colored cloak hunting sound, a pair of human faces and long beards, with dragon-shaped horns, tall and mighty, immovable, awe-inspiring, awe-inspiring.
After all, he had suffered the loss of the stone statue just now, and a gray-robed male cultivator took the lead and said: "Young Master Lan, the situation here seems to be a little wrong, why don't we withdraw." ”
Lan Hexuan looked angry and said, "I haven't got a single treasure, wouldn't it be a joke to go back like this, where will I put the face of the young owner?" ”
The man's face was embarrassed, and he said, "In case this stone statue comes back to life, how can we be enemies with only a dozen of us, isn't this sending us to death?" ”
Lang Yun glanced at the man contemptuously and said coldly, "Alarmist. If you are afraid of death, you can go back yourself. ”
"This ......" He naturally didn't dare to go back by himself, there were some demon beasts near the ruins of the royal city that he couldn't deal with, and he would definitely die if he went back.
Lan Hexuan thought for a while, pointed to the stone statue at the head and said, "A few of you cast spells to attack that stone statue and try it." ”
When everyone heard this, they used various spell moves. It's all long-range attacks, and no one dares to come forward to fight in close quarters.
After a series of colorful spells, the stone statue of the leader was bombarded to pieces.
Before seeing anything different, someone smiled and said, "Nothing, we have to go to the main hall, there must be treasures in it." ”
It's a pity that before he finished speaking, there was a gust of yin wind, the stone statue recondensed and returned, and the body began to move, and the eight-foot long knife pointed at everyone, but the buzzing sound resounded in the sky: "You and other miscellaneous pieces, you dare to make a mistake here!" This general is Fan Ming, the general of Zhonglang, and anyone who dares to violate the forbidden land of my imperial city will be beheaded! ”
Fan Ming raised his knife and swept towards everyone, and a monk used his own spiritual weapon to block it, but he was cut in two by him with a knife, blood splashed all over the ground, and the miserable situation could not bear to look at directly.
The crowd was so frightened that their backs were cold, and no one dared to fight, and they scattered in all directions, dodging the swinging blades.
Lan Hexuan hid among the four personal guards, his eyes glowed with cold light, and he shouted, "What are you afraid of, he's just alone, everyone is on it together!" ”
The young owner had a word, and everyone dared not obey, and suddenly a burst of sword light and sword shadow slashed towards Fan Ming, and the stone statue was once again chopped to pieces.
However, this Fan Ming is not flesh and blood, seeing that he is about to return to his original state, the buzzing voice also sounded again: "You and other miscellaneous pieces, dare to make a mistake here!" Ben will be Nakaro ......"
The fire jade ruler in Liu Qingyue's hand shone brightly, and a purple fire qi knife slashed horizontally, Fan Ming's voice stopped abruptly, his body was broken in two, and his head rolled to the side.
Lan Hexuan stepped forward quickly, stepped on it, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Liu Daoyou made a timely move, this thing should be a trick, and he should not be allowed to recover." ”
Li Tianxing said: "In this way, the three thousand soldiers and armor here are also all tricks, how can we enter the main hall?" ”
Lan Hexuan replied: "I have no way of knowing this, if I don't touch them, maybe it will be fine." ”
"It's too risky, if someone triggers the mechanism in the middle of the way, won't we be chopped into pulp."
"Well, that's true, it's time to think of a foolproof solution."
