Volume 5: The First Song Five Hundred and Twenty-Four: The Pool of Cold Water (16)
The fifth layer of the cold pool is not big, not even half of the fourth layer, this is the most unexpected by the five people of Qian Chao, they thought that the fifth layer occupied by the torture should be a huge and complex space, which hides all the secrets of the torture for so many years, I didn't expect this place to be so small, of course, small is relative, this is actually not small, and this fifth layer is very simple, just like the fourth layer, it is also a boxy space, the length and width are more than 20 sheets, and the height is about ten zhang.
Different from the fourth floor, there are carved ornaments on the stone wall here, and I don't know what age left, it is facing the exit of the passage, when the five people of Qian Chao stepped into the fifth floor, they looked up and saw a scene that shocked them on the opposite side.
At first, they all mistakenly thought that what they saw was a living creature, which shocked the five of them for a while, but soon understood that it was just a pattern carved on the opposite stone wall, but it had to be said that the carving technique was realistic and lifelike, and at first glance, it really scared all five of them.
The stone wall on the opposite side is about more than 20 zhang wide and more than 10 zhang high, and a huge beast figure is carved out in relief on the stone wall.
At first glance, the five of them thought that there was a huge vicious dog on the fifth floor that was alarmed by their footsteps, and was staring at them viciously and unkindly.
But after being shocked, when the five of them looked closely, they would find that the relief pattern seemed to be very different from the fierce dogs they had usually seen.
First of all, the big guy in the relief, which resembles a fierce dog, is covered with a thick layer of long hair, which makes it more rugged and majestic, which is different from ordinary dogs. Then they noticed that the guy had four thick legs, and even more like a bear's leg. Dogs are similar to wolves, their legs and feet are strong and strong in order to run quickly, but the four legs of the guy in the relief appear to be thick and dexterous, strong enough, and it looks strong enough, but this makes it seem that it is not good at running, not only that, this guy has no claws on his feet, it seems that the relief should be a slow man, a guy who walks slowly.
Tang Ping had already recognized the image of the beast chaos in the relief at this time.
After all, there was still a distance, and many details of the relief were not clear, so after the initial shock and horror gradually subsided and Li Jian confirmed again that there was no danger here, the five of them walked cautiously and cautiously towards the relief pattern on the opposite side.
The guy like a vicious dog on the relief is lying sideways with his head sideways, and his face is facing the five people with his mouth wide open, and the five people see that although its mouth is wide open, there are no terrifying sharp teeth and fangs in the mouth, but the carving technique of the person who left this relief is really clever, and the big mouth of the guy is as dreadful as a bottomless abyss in the eyes of the five people.
When they got closer, the five of them also found that they didn't know whether it was intentional or the reason why the stone wall was a little peeling due to age, although the big guy in the relief stared at them, but those eyes were unusually muddy for some reason, and there were no fierce and terrifying eyes, but they were even more weird.
The five of them saw this relief for the first time, although Tang Ping recognized that it was the image of the ancient beast Chaos, but because it was only a relief, they also let down their guard, but they didn't know that even though it was a relief, the person who left this relief was superb, not only left its shape on the stone wall, but even the charm and momentum that the guy had since come out on this stone wall!
And just the momentum of this relief that has both form and spirit and is about to burst out is not something that the five of them can withstand now.
The five Qian Chao didn't know this, but they soon realized that the first thing they felt in the process of slowly approaching the relief was a very strange ancient barbarism that they had never experienced, a primitive and wild atmosphere, as if accompanied by a long wind from afar in the wilderness.
The folk customs in the world have the custom of painting gods and praying to deter ghosts and evils, and stick it on the gate during the New Year to avoid evil. The reason seems to be the same, on the fifth layer of this cold pool, this relief figure is the true image of the ancient beast chaos form and god, and the momentum it exudes is enough to capture people's hearts, disturb the mind, and even make people mad!
What's more, the five of them were just minor cultivators who cultivated qi.
Even though the heart is as tough as Li Jian, reckless and bold as Lu Pingchuan, these two people have been suppressed by the momentum it exudes after looking at this relief for a long time, and they feel that their legs are beginning to be heavy and their steps are becoming more and more difficult, and their legs are beginning to tremble slightly, and the courage in their hearts is gradually disappearing in front of this relief like an ice cube under the hot sun, and they both feel that they are moving towards an unknown and extremely dangerous and extremely powerful existence, The feeling is like walking towards the center of the river step by step on the big river before the spring ice melts when the spring ice is cold, and you can hear the sound of "Ka Ba Ka Bar" ice breaking under your feet with every step you take, which makes people feel chills in your heart!
This is an experience that Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan have never had, even if they faced a strong enemy in the past, even if they were seriously injured, they were never timid when they were alive and dead, but now they are just facing a relief!
In fact, the reason is simple, in the past, they experienced opponents who were equal in strength or not much stronger than themselves, even if they were at a disadvantage for a while, they would not be afraid, but would stimulate their fighting spirit. But now, under the influence of the momentum emanating from this relief, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan have begun to treat the relief as chaos itself, and the power of chaos is far beyond the scope of their understanding, and it is a joke to be hostile to it.
Li Jian suddenly realized at this time that in front of the tiger, how sad and ridiculous the ants were, not to mention that they were hostile, and even the other party's inadvertent snort could blow them away like a wind, just like now, Li Jian relied on his sword cultivation to resist this powerful momentum, which made his mind clear for a while, and when he was in a trance, he was full of fear of chaos, and when he was clear, he understood that he had not seen chaos, and it was just a relief. But it made him a tenacious sword cultivator actually feel like he was scared!
And Lu Pingchuan has been holding on, he is very unconvinced, whether it is when he was in Lujiazhuang or after entering the Five Spirits, Lu Pingchuan has never felt such a deep fear as now. He was born as a hunter, and when he was young, he knew that when the wolf appeared, the sheep would be terrified and flee if they saw the wolf's figure, and the fierce wolf would inevitably tighten its tail and sneak away quietly after smelling the breath of the tiger in the mountains, not daring to make any sound.
Now Lu Pingchuan even feels that he is a fat sheep under the gaze of a tiger, which makes him very unhappy, but no matter how he emboldens himself, the feeling of fear in his heart lingers and is getting stronger and stronger!
Li Jian, Lu Pingchuan is like this, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan's faces began to turn slightly pale when they walked over, and the two girls held each other's arms, because of fear, their shoulders always touched each other when they trembled.
Yan Xuan felt the breath of this relief, and simply seduced out the fear in her heart.
It is obviously a relief like a vicious dog and a fierce dog, but all the fears in Yan Xuan's heart are poured out, the fear of being in a strange environment at this time, the worry about his mother's situation at home, the worry and anxiety about his future fate, in short, the more Yan Xuan moves forward, the more he feels that everything related to him in this world has become bleak and gray, and there is no hope for him!
And Tang Ping, as a spiritual monk, understands the power and terrifying of chaos than several companions around her, that is by no means something they can deal with, even her sixth grandfather Tang Bonian is just an ant-like existence in front of chaos, but Tang Ping kept her mind, she understood that what was in front of her was just a relief on the stone wall, but at the foot of them, the guy on the relief was quietly dormant there, and the five of them were likely to go to it for a trip this time, and they would really face it at that time!
Thinking of this, fear made Tang Ping's legs and feet a little weak, so she tightly held Yan Xuan's arm, which was also trembling slightly.
Compared with the other four companions, it was Qian Chao's performance that was the best, perhaps because Qian Chao was more rational in comparison, or perhaps because he knew more about this cold pool, he was just startled when he saw this relief, although there were waves in his heart when he walked over slowly, but his face was always calm, and he even wanted to study the next good thing about this carving technique, but the closer he got to the relief, the majestic surge on the stone wall, the more intense the momentum of the wild and furious, Qian Chao's brows also began to tighten.
It's just a relief...... Just let the five of them walk over as if they were walking towards the end of a cliff...... And at the end of the abyss!
Just when the five people were like five small boats going upstream, they finally couldn't bear the powerful impact of the current and were about to go straight down the river and collapse for thousands of miles, suddenly the five of them noticed a strange thing at the same time, under the momentum of the relief, when they either frowned and forced themselves forward or couldn't stand it and wanted to stop, the five people's chests were slightly hot at first, and at the same time, a majestic and domineering momentum suddenly appeared to envelop the five of them, In a trance, they seemed to hear a tiger's roar from a far away place behind them, and the amazing thing was that the five people didn't dare to look at the relief anymore, and their bodies also seemed to cower, and they all puffed up their chests at the same time, and in the face of the powerful momentum on the relief, the five of them resisted the impact of the huge momentum like a rock resisting the torrent!
And at the same time that the five of them were scorching and wrapped in that majestic and domineering momentum, Li Jian had two rays of light in his hands, and the two green bamboo spirit swords were already clenched in his hands with white light, his eyes were wide open, and his heart was full of surging and surging murderous intent, staring at the relief on the opposite side, as if he was going to kill it with a sword!
Lu Pingchuan's face was even more red inspired by this domineering momentum, his whole body was stiff and stiff, and his two big fists clenched in a loud roar, eager to fight with the chaos in the relief!
Tang Ping was stimulated by this sudden momentum, her hair bun was suddenly scattered, her black hair seemed to be fluttering in the wind, and her ears became a pair of fluffy white pointed ears, but her eyes were full of golden sharp light staring at the opposite relief!
Yan Xuan sounded a clear phoenix chirp in the bottom of her heart when this momentum appeared, and if you look at her at this time, you will find that a red phoenix flower with wings about to fly appeared in the center of her eyebrows, which was what her master left her when she was apprenticing!
As for Qian Chao, when this majestic and domineering momentum appeared, his body trembled slightly, the blue light in his two eyes skyrocketed, and in an instant, countless glittering jade seals full of runes appeared around him to surround him, which was his rune seal technique!
This majestic and domineering momentum only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared, if it was a little longer, I am afraid that Li Jian would really slash at the stone wall with his sword, but the most strange thing is that it disappeared with the terrifying momentum on the relief, as if a lot of things happened in this fifth layer in an instant, the two fierce beasts chose the place to fight, leaving the five of them here, and after this moment, the five people all had a kind of exhaustion after a long battle!
Of course, there is also a kind of happiness like escaping death.
Yan Xuan's whole body was as if he had been holding his breath for a long time, and he almost leaned on Tang Ping's body and gasped, and Tang Ping was also pale with shock, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan gradually returned to normal, and their eyes unconsciously looked at their chests, which was the white tiger tooth given by Mo Zu!
"Evil enough!" Lu Pingchuan gasped and said.
Li Jian looked at the green bamboo spirit sword in his hand, then looked at the relief on the stone wall, and said incredulously:
"It's just a relief, it's not the real body of that thing at all, this ......"
"It's scary, what's going on?" Yan Xuan said with palpitations.
"White Tiger Fang!" Tang Ping said.
"Yes," Qian Chao said, "This relief must have been carved out according to the size of Chaos' true body, if it weren't for the White Tiger's Fang, we would probably be distracted by Chaos' momentum, and even if we can get rid of it, I don't know how long it will be." ”
"This tooth is a good thing," Lu Pingchuan touched his chest and said, "Thanks to it, now my body is hot, but I broke out in a cold sweat just now!" ”
