Chapter 537: The Key
In the Autumn Moon Mountains, underground space.
The spiritual spring had become pitch black.
It's no longer like it used to be silvery, able to dispel all darkness.
"Divine Lord, Qiu Mei has already left."
Quietly, a white shadow appeared, coming to the dread and dead spiritual spring.
Mo Poison gave a deep salute, and hesitated a little when she spoke again, "She seems to be hiding something from her subordinates, most likely related to an alien intruder named Djinn. ”
The darkness inside the spiritual spring began to surge, and it was still spreading outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's like the whole underground space is gradually coming to life.
A moment later, two rounds of illusory moons quietly lit up, projecting a scarlet light as blood.
"She did hide a lot of things, and not only about the djinn, but maybe even involved in the realm of the void."
Wei Tao's voice slowly sounded from the spiritual spring, "But just like I told you, it's better to push the boat down the river like this, if you make a move when the time is not ripe, it will cause unpredictable results."
At this point, not only did I think so, but even the djinn who hid and did not dare to see people, everyone was waiting in silence, and at the same time they were tacitly helping her to grow, just to see when the deeper changes would come. ”
At this, he was silent.
The entire underground space fell silent in an instant.
Mo Poison didn't dare to say much, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart, and stood quietly with his hands down.
It's like a humanoid sculpture, standing motionless in front of the spiritual spring, silently guarding.
Little by little, time passed.
From day to evening, and soon into the night.
Suddenly, the sculpture came to life.
Mo Poison took a deep breath, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes looked at the few gravels at his feet.
The ground seemed to move, shaking at an ever-increasing rate.
Starting from the spiritual spring not far away, it quickly extends to the surrounding stone walls, and continues to spread out in all directions.
The next moment, rumbling thunder pierced the sky.
The entire Qiuyue Mountain seemed to come to life and began to resonate strongly.
The majestic spirit element gushed out from the cracks in the mountains, forming an unprecedented terrifying spiritual pressure, instantly breaking through the dense clouds in the sky, revealing a dark night sky with a bright moon and sparse stars.
Mo Poison had already knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed towards the spiritual spring that was constantly erupting.
Since he entered the Spirit Spring of Qiuyue Mountain, it was the first time he had seen the Divine Lord make a move, and it was definitely ten times more powerful than the original power in the Northland Wilderness.
If at that time, he could still look up at the figure of the Divine Lord, and roughly calculate the height of the Divine Lord.
But at this moment, sensing the agitation of the mountains, the resonance of the spiritual veins, and the poisonous mind was instantly blank.
As if facing the arrival of the divine power that swept the heavens and the earth, he only bowed and worshipped, and the rest was only prostration, and there was no other thought.
Rumble!!!
The shock continues.
The spirit explosion rushed out from the Autumn Moon Mountain, and headed south with an unrivaled momentum, heading straight for Autumn Moon City shrouded in night.
………………
……………………
After the rain, the sky is clear and the sky is blue.
The bright sunlight shines through the clouds, casting a faint layer of gold on Autumn Moon City, which looks like a beautiful scene full of vitality.
The streets are full of bustling people, and all kinds of noisy sounds are mixed together, showing the atmosphere of the bustling and lively world.
Qiu Mei walked into the city, retreated from the attendants, and walked slowly along the side of the street aimlessly.
From time to time, I will stop somewhere, quietly enjoying the fireworks in the world that I haven't experienced for a long time.
At this time, it is the middle of the afternoon, and the restaurants and restaurants are full of people, and the aromas of various stir-fried and fried are mixed together, and the breeze continues to penetrate into the nose.
"Not long after I left the Autumn Moon Spiritual Spring, all kinds of visions quietly appeared again, and they began to tug at my heartstrings again and again."
Qiu Mei exhaled lightly, stopped in front of a small shop, and was a little silent for a while.
Her stop is more than two hours later.
From late afternoon to evening, until the sun began to set in the west, and the sky gradually darkened, he did not move his body.
This extremely familiar city has become extremely strange in her eyes.
Everything around seemed to be wrapped in a vast mist.
Whether it is this long street or the people passing by, it seems to have become a blur of light and shadow, and it is difficult to make out no matter what.
All kinds of sounds come and go, and finally intertwine and converge into the sound of rushing water, even if the perception is closed and not seen or heard, it has always been around and flowing in consciousness.
On top of that, she also had a strange feeling of being watched and watched, which became more and more obvious as time went on.
In the depths of the mist, above the firmament, there seemed to be a pair of eyes hidden, and at the same time, they focused their gaze on her body, and they did not leave her body for a moment.
I don't know when it will appear out of nowhere, and without warning, it will appear in front of her.
"It is better to look forward to the future than to think about the past, and only by breaking through the fog of illusion can we see the ultimate true ......"
She raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows, a painful expression flashed on her face, "However, I don't care what the ultimate truth is, I just want to return to the peaceful and waveless life of the past, even if it is shrouded in the fog of vanity and deception, it is better than everything being forcibly changed by external forces." ”
Little by little, time passed.
Until the night grew darker, the pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed.
Qiu Mei slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity and gently moved his body that had not moved for a long time.
Wisps of blood flowed out of the seven orifices, flowing down the white cheeks like jade, and then being reflected by the lights around them, suddenly turning the whole person into a ghost.
Qiu Mei looked up at the night sky, his eyes penetrated the thick fog clouds, and he faintly saw a pair of illusory eyes that were bright and dark when he crossed the light points that kept flickering in them.
She wiped the blood from her lips and let out a long breath again.
I don't know if it's her delusion, but after going to the Autumn Moon Spirit Spring to meet the Lord of Pain this time, the various illusions she faced have not been reduced as before, but have become more and more intense.
What's more, even the environment around her seems to have been eroded by all kinds of anomalous illusions, and there have been strange changes that have never been seen before.
And the people who live in it don't seem to feel all kinds of abnormalities at all, just like puppets who have been deceived by illusion, constantly playing their own roles, and completely losing their true selves.
A quarter of an hour later, Qiu Mei walked through the long street and came to the tall tower in the middle of Autumn Moon City.
She was about to enter the tower directly, but she took a step before she stopped, and slowly turned to look at an inn behind her.
A middle-aged couple carrying a package on their backs also walked along the long street, and finally did not continue to approach the tower like her, but stopped in front of the inn.
The woman stroked her lower abdomen, as if she had been pregnant for several months and urgently needed to find a place to stay and rest.
She leaned against the door frame of the inn, and suddenly glanced back, her gaze penetrated the dark night, and happened to meet Qiu Mei's line of sight, and then they separated in different directions.
The two entered the lobby on the first floor, where they bargained with Xiao Er and discussed the matter of staying in the hotel.
After a few breaths, the two sides seemed to have reached an agreement, and the middle-aged couple took up the salute and walked towards the upstairs suite.
Behind him was the innkeeper, carrying a pot of boiling water in his hand, still steaming outward.
Qiu Mei frowned slightly, always feeling that something seemed to be wrong.
At this time, the night was already deep, and the entire Autumn Moon City was shrouded in darkness and silence, and a faint light shot out from the door of the inn, reflecting a trapezoidal bright belt on the long street outside, which looked particularly eye-catching and conspicuous.
Her heart jerked, and it was then that she realized that something was wrong.
Where the middle-aged couple passed, everything turned out to be quite normal.
Whether it is the inn or Xiao Er, there is no thick fog shrouded, nor does it show distorted light and shadow, but clearly shows their original appearance.
When she was "sick", this situation could be said to be extremely rare, and only when she went deep into the spiritual spring under the ground of Qiuyue Mountain and came to the Lord of Pain would she be temporarily relieved under that heavy mountain-like pressure.
Qiu Mei took a deep breath and immediately turned around and walked towards the inn.
When she got closer, she suddenly became a little nervous, so she turned around and opened the main entrance of the inn, quietly crossed one side of the courtyard wall, and jumped into the treetop closest to the guest room, secretly observing the movements of the two through the half-open window.
The middle-aged couple first unpacked their luggage and changed into clean clothes.
Next, they took out two porcelain bowls, soaked the dry food in hot water to soften, and sat opposite each other and ate slowly.
The two of them ate very slowly and devotedly, chewing and swallowing to the extreme.
Although it is just boiling water and soaking rice, it feels like a delicacies from the mountains and the sea.
Even Qiu Mei outside couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and was completely attracted by the bowl of steamed buns.
Little by little, time passed.
One by one, the lights went out.
The moon loomed into the clouds.
In Qiu Mei's perception, the rest of the place was completely covered by dark fog, and there were distorted and terrifying lights and shadows everywhere.
Only the suite on the second floor of the inn remained, still emitting a faint light outward, bringing her the last remaining peace and tranquility.
It was like a bond that connected her to the real world, rather than falling down until she was swallowed up by an illusion from which she could not escape.
Suddenly there was a soft squeak.
The windows of the inn rooms were slowly pushed open.
Qiu Mei held her breath and saw that the woman in the couple was standing in front of the window and smiling at herself.
In an instant, with this room as the center, the whole courtyard seemed to become a little different.
It was as if it had been cut off from the rest of Autumn Moon City, banishing all vanity from the outside, and even the more distant dark void had disappeared at this time.
Qiu Mei gasped for breath, and the whole person suddenly relaxed.
Without the erosion and disturbance of various illusions, she got a long-lost comfort and tranquility.
This feeling is even more enjoyable than staying by the side of the Lord of Pain.
After all, the closer she got to the Spirit Spring of Qiuyue Mountain, the more pressure became, like a mountain of ten thousand people, almost making her so depressed that she couldn't breathe.
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "The night breeze is cold, what is the little sister doing in the trees outside, it is better to come into the house and drink hot tea to warm up." ”
Qiu Mei wanted to refuse, and even had the idea of turning her head and running away, but for some reason she finally nodded and accepted the invitation of the middle-aged woman.
What's more, looking at the tea cup in the other party's hand and smelling the fragrance of tea wafting with the heat, she felt like she had lost her soul, and all her attention was attracted to the past, almost forgetting the purpose of her sneaking in.
It is as if the cup is not filled with tea, but with a liquid that can make people achieve bliss, and you only need to take a sip to forget all your sorrows.
At this moment, the man sitting at the table suddenly looked up and looked out the window at the night sky shrouded in clouds.
"The aura of the remnant soul of the ancient god fluctuates, it may be a giant spirit that has merged into the sea of blood."
He put down the teacup, and his expression was slightly solemn as he spoke, "It appears here and now, thinking that it has the same purpose as the two of us. ”
The woman turned around and took a look, "It seems that what Biluo said is really good, but I still can't understand why she is in Biluo Sky and fighting with the creatures of the sea of blood, why she can tell the entrance of the Void Realm so accurately, and even predict that the ancient gods and giant spirits may appear here." ”
The middle-aged man exhaled lightly, "It doesn't matter, the djinn body does not exist, and now there is only a remnant soul left, even if we face it, we may not necessarily lose the upper hand in a head-to-head fight, and maybe we can capture it alive and turn it into an excellent nourishment for you and me to go further." ”
"What the husband said is very true, but after all, the djinn is an ancient god, and even if he loses his physical body, he is by no means a good kind, so even if we join forces to fight the enemy, we must not be negligent, so as not to cause unexpected problems.
Thinking about it further, if we can really catch the djinn here, we will probably be a bit wasteful to eat it.
On the contrary, it is better to refine it and give it to this little girl, which can be regarded as good steel to use on the blade, which can help us open the fog barrier faster, and proudly spy on the hidden truth behind it. ”
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly, "Your idea is good, but you have forgotten the truth of overreach."
Especially when the time is not yet ripe, if she really injects the remnant soul of the ancient god into her body, it is very likely to cause unpredictable consequences. ”
"The concubine knows the truth of raising seedlings and going too far."
The woman sighed faintly, "But if you think about it, we finally found her key, and for the time being, we can be regarded as occupying a relatively advantageous position, but now there are ancient fierce and evil mysteries outside, and the remnants of ancient gods and giant spirits have descended, and the time left for us is not very generous."
And as time goes by, no one can guarantee that Biluo will spread the secret of the void in order to get out of the sea of blood, attracting more eyes to spy and covet, if we are still waiting for the opportunity step by step, I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain the current situation. ”
"And what do you mean?"
The woman lowered her eyes and looked at the slightly bulging abdomen, with a complicated expression on her face, "The meaning of the concubine body is very simple, that is, to replace it with a spiritual fetus and become the new key."
Let her drink the spirit tea first, stimulate her spiritual vein source power, and then if she can refine the remnant soul of the ancient god as a help, she should be able to be included in the spirit fetus.
In this way, you and I can really grasp the initiative, even if the situation becomes chaotic again, even if the ancient gods and evil spirits are alive, they must protect your and my lives, and we must be careful not to overdo it. ”
Qiu Mei listened silently, and the whole person became a little depressed.
From beginning to end, he stared at the porcelain cup in the woman's hand, and even forgot who he really was.
"Huh!?"
The woman was still talking, and suddenly the words changed, and her tone became a little confused.
"The remnant soul of the ancient god actually ran away?"
"Could it have sensed our coming, so it left in a hurry?"
The middle-aged man was also at a loss, "No, since we entered here, we have been hiding ourselves from beginning to end, and it stands to reason that we shouldn't be discovered directly."
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the remnant soul of the ancient god has a keen sense and smells the breath of you and me, it should not flee directly without probing, and do not stop at all. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the trees outside the window, as well as the buildings in the city beyond.
The ground seemed to shake slightly.
According to a fixed frequency rhythm, it is transmitted from far and near waves.
Airplanes!!!
As if it had been electrified, the furniture in the room was trembling and wailing.
The woman took a deep breath, her eyes fell on the teacup in her hand, and watched the ripples on the surface of the water in the cup, spreading densely towards the edge in a circle.
"The spirit vein, it's the spirit vein that is vibrating and resonating!"
Her heart jerked, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
In the center of the suddenly constricted pupils, the shadows that swarmed out from the underground spiritual veins quickly occupied almost all of the sight.
Rumble!!!
Spiritual pressure manifests, and darkness descends.
At this moment, the entire Autumn Moon City became deathly silent.
"Let's go!"
The two looked at each other and made a decision in an instant.
Without any hesitation, the middle-aged woman threw the cup in her hand and slammed the window of the guest room shut.
The tea is clear and translucent, exuding a dreamlike hazy light, and it is only a line away from pouring it on Qiu Mei.
But at the last moment, it was blocked by a large group of shadows, and it was not stained with the slightest tea soup.
Boom!
A muffled sound exploded, and the entire inn building collapsed.
Then it turned into ashes and disappeared.
Inside, the middle-aged couple was missing, only a stream of red and blue intertwined, breaking through the clouds and leaving quickly.
Rumble!!!
The underground spiritual veins seemed to come to life, like ink-colored giant pythons, stretching their hideous bodies wantonly under the night.
Countless bottomless and huge chasms were created, turning the Northland Wilderness into a mess in an instant, and then rushing towards the red and blue light.
"It's horrible."
"What kind of monster can cause such a terrifying upheaval?"
"Therefore, the remnant soul of the ancient gods fled in a hurry just now, it is likely that it was not because of us, but because we sensed the arrival of the change in advance."
The two had a heart-to-heart connection, communicated seamlessly, and glanced down again in the rapid flight.
In an instant, the red and blue streamers froze, and they almost fell from the sky.
When they looked at it, their scalps tingled, their bodies were cold, and they were speechless by the sight below that was like a landslide and the ground cracked.
"It's the spirit vein, the spirit vein actually has the spirit to come back to life, and I don't know why it burst out, and launched an attack on the two of us."
"The spiritual veins are the foundation of the Taixu Spirit Realm, just like the blood vessels and veins in the body of intelligent beings, how can they have an independent will?"
"No, no, there's something going on in the sky."
"That's the ancient evil thoughts, as if under the control of the same will, it even resonated with the spiritual veins!"
The red and blue rays intertwined, stopping in mid-air without warning.
Directly in front of it, two full scarlet moons quietly appeared.
It was like a pair of looming illusory eyes, projecting an inexplicable gaze and firmly nailing them to their bodies.
