Chapter 252: Into the City
"Sealed Demon Mound?" Chen Jiu raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, it's the Demon Mound, just like in our time, in this era, ghosts and spirits and the like are not a rare thing here." Ye Qingxuan continued.
"And the so-called city god is an official position subordinate to the underworld government, according to the function, the city god temple is to protect the world on behalf of the underworld, to prevent ghosts and spirits from evil."
"And these ghosts and spirits are all called demons."
"In this era, you should also have a certain understanding, which can be regarded as ghosts and spirits rampant, wreaking havoc in the world."
"Therefore, in order to curb the number of these ghosts, the City God Temple has looked for places all over the world and arranged formations specifically to seal those ghosts and spirits."
"And this place is called the Sealed Demon Tomb."
Hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help frowning, "Why is it just a seal?" Isn't it possible to kill these ghosts directly? ”
Seal ghosts.
In Chen Jiu's eyes, this is simply a thankless act, it is better to directly kill the ghosts.
Ye Qingxuan nodded and continued to reply, "I also thought about these questions of yours before, why didn't the City God Temple kill these ghosts directly. ”
"But then I realized that it's much easier to seal some ghosts than to kill them."
"And with the ability of the City God Temple at that time, it seems that it can only do this."
In this era, it seems that because of the weakening of the City God Temple, the control of the City God Temple in various places has been greatly reduced compared to the original, and even the City God Temple in many places has been gradually replaced by various forces.
So in this case, the City God Temple can only retreat to the next best thing, and seal up a large number of ghosts that cannot be handled, in order to hope that future generations of City God can deal with these ghosts.
It's a pity, though.
The City God Temple did not wait for them to regain their former strength, but instead declined day by day, which led to the number of ghosts sealed in the sealed mounds in some places.
"So, our next mission is related to sealing the Demon Mound." As he spoke, Ye Qingxuan took out a token, "So I guess this prop is the key to open the sealed demon tomb." ”
"In other words, the final task is most likely to let us enter the Sealed Demon Tomb."
"Enter the Demon Sealing Tomb..."Chen Jiu began to ponder after hearing this.
First of all, what Ye Qingxuan said was very credible, and it almost coincided with some of the things he had in his hands now, plus the scope of the shrinkage of the barrier.
It also proves more and more the authenticity of Ye Qingxuan's guess.
If nothing else, there should be some problems with the current Sealing Mound, and it is very likely that there are some problems with the seal and the interior of the previous year.
There is even a possibility of worse.
That is, the current seal of the Demon Sealing Tomb has been damaged, and a large number of ghosts are about to pour out.
Therefore, their task should be to strengthen the seal of the Demon Sealing Mound, or solve the problem of the Demon Mound.
"Sure enough, the task given by the system will not be simple." Chen Jiu sighed with emotion, no matter which of their tasks was next, it was destined to be far more difficult than the copies they had encountered before.
The Sealed Demon Mound, which even the City God Temple of the past dynasties could not solve, was destined to have a far greater number of ghosts than they imagined.
"So for the next copy, we have to cooperate, otherwise, there is almost no possibility of passing." Ye Qingxuan said succinctly.
Because at the moment they have too many enemies.
The first is the players who have been eyeing the hidden in the shadows, the second is the local city gods who have always been against them, and the third is the ghosts in the sealed mounds.
The above three parties, no matter which one of them is, are enough for them to eat a pot.
What's more, there is also a group of Taoists with unknown intentions, judging from the behavior of the other party, they are definitely not good.
Maybe it has something to do with the Demon Sealing Mound.
"In fact, the ideal situation now is to find the cooperation of Chenghuang and other players, otherwise, there is almost no possibility of completing this dungeon." After thinking about it, Ye Qingxuan finally told what he guessed.
Although, this copy initially did not say anything about the punishment.
But judging from the past practice, the end of failure is basically obliteration.
Chen Jiu nodded and said, "What you said is good, but don't think about it between players, there is almost no possibility of cooperation." ”
Not to mention that the human heart itself is an extremely difficult thing to control, and he doesn't think that other players have such good communication, just the ones he has met in the dungeon so far.
Basically, few are mentally normal.
"So instead of counting on others, you should count on yourself." Chen Jiu said lightly, "But we haven't reached the most critical step yet, there is still one last time before the barrier shrinks, and only when we get to that step will we know what our final quest task is." ”
From the beginning to the end, the dungeon only gave them a chance to grab special items.
After that, the entire dungeon did not give a single hint about the dungeon, except for the fixed time pattern of shrinking the barrier, and to this day, the information in their hands was obtained through their own means.
"Whew..."Ye Chen lightly exhaled a breath of turbidity, his eyes looked at the convoy in the distance, "Sure enough, the road of the strong is destined to be the enemy of the world, I, Ye someone, am not alone!" ”
The corners of Chen Jiu's mouth couldn't help twitching.
Sure enough, no matter what the situation is, this person will not change in any way.
After an eerie silence, Ye Chen opened his mouth and continued to ask, "So when will that sealed demon tomb be able to enter?" Do we have to wait until the barrier is finished? ”
Ye Qingxuan shook his head, "The specific situation, no one knows at the moment, but it is estimated that we can only know after waiting for the last barrier contraction." ”
"And for now, Haicheng welcomes Xiangrui, and the time of sacrifice seems to be the next shrinkage time of the barrier."
"Is it the same time?" Chen Jiu's eyes narrowed.
Before, he felt that there was a problem with the five Taoists who followed the team, which gave him a familiar feeling, but now it seems that the problem with these five people is that they can't run.
"It seems that there may be something wrong with the county guard of this city." Chen Jiu was thoughtful.
The convoy entering the city basically had to be personally inspected by the county guard of Haicheng, and if these five Taoists could accompany them, it must have been approved by the county guard of Haicheng.
