240, the mystery of the stone tower
Lei Xingtian was suddenly attacked, and seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he hurriedly raised Shen Lan in his hand and blocked it in front of him. Lei Xingtian said ruthlessly in his heart: "Since this is the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
Seeing that the Biluo sword was about to penetrate Shen Lan's heart, suddenly, Li Ling suddenly braked and castrated, his body turned around in front of Shen Lan, his right hand shook, and the Biluo sword stabbed out obliquely, and the sword body was forced into an arc because of the true power infused with Li Ling, and the sword blade actually attached to Shen Lan's armpit to bypass the heart, stabbing at the thunder punishment heaven behind Shen Lan.
Lei Xingtian might as well have Li Ling have this move, seeing that Bi Luo's sword was about to stab him in the chest, he hurriedly let go and pushed Shen Lan out as a shield, while he used the Thunder Escape Technique to retreat in a hurry.
Li Ling succeeded in one blow, his left hand hugged Shen Lan's waist, and his right hand danced into a circle with the sword to prevent Lei Xingtian from taking the opportunity to sneak attack. Who knew that Lei Xingtian had lost his hostage, and he knew that he was not the opponent of Li Ling and Gu Qingfeng, so he retreated without a fight and fled.
When Gu Qingfeng rushed to Li Ling's side, Lei Xingtian had already rushed into the deserted village and disappeared.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng scolded angrily: "Damn, is this kid a rat?" Why are you so timid? And it's more slippery than a loach! ”
Li Ling looked indifferent at the moment, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.
Then, Gu Qingfeng unlocked Shen Lan's acupoint and asked anxiously, "Lan'er, are you...... Are you okay? ”
"I didn't ...... It's okay! Shen Lan peeked at Li Ling, who was silent next to her, and called out tentatively: "Li ...... Brother Li! ”
Hearing Shen Lan's soft voice, Li Ling couldn't harden his heart after all, and this time Shen Lan was in distress, more or less related to him, so the expression on his face eased slightly, and he hummed lightly, but he didn't say much.
Seeing this, Shen Lan's heart calmed down a little, and then said: "Brother Li, thank you this time, if it weren't for you, I would ...... I ......" Speaking of this, Shen Lan didn't know how to speak.
Seeing Shen Lan's embarrassment, Li Ling didn't care, and then deliberately turned his body to the side to avoid Shen Lan's gaze.
Although Li Ling has a trace of pity for Shen Lan at the moment, but in the past ten years, he has been trapped by love, and his demonic nature has gradually deepened, and the emotions in his heart have been exhausted by the years and demonic nature.
Seeing this, Shen Lan felt a sense of loss in her heart, she had a brother-sister relationship with Li Ling, and in her eyes, Li Ling was like her own big brother. This time, Li Ling repeatedly rescued her, which made her rekindle her brother-sister affection for Li Ling, but Li Ling's cold attitude at this moment made her at a loss.
At this moment, Gu Qingfeng coughed lightly twice and said, "Okay Lan'er, since you are fine, then we still need to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible." ”
"Get out of here?" Shen Lan suddenly thought that they were still in a deserted village at this moment, and couldn't help but exclaim: "By the way, this village is so strange." The wicked man took me around the village a few times, but no matter which direction he went, he would eventually return to the village and never get out. ”
"yes, it's a lot different here, and I don't know why?" Gu Qingfeng Road.
"Uncle Gu, have you ever been here? What the hell is this place? Shen Lan asked.
Gu Qingfeng sighed, and then told Shen Lan about his own affairs and the past of the Thunder Clan, and after Shen Lan listened, he realized that this seemingly barren village was actually Gu Qingfeng's hometown.
At this time, Li Ling came to a stone tower again, pacing around the stone tower, as if observing something.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng also came to Li Ling's side and asked lightly, "What?" Do you see something? ”
Li Ling frowned slightly, and asked, "In this village, were there these stone towers before?" ”
When Gu Qingfeng heard this, a trace of doubt flashed on his face, and he said: "In the past, such stone towers would be built in the village, but most of the stone towers were built next to the altar in the center of the village, not as scattered as now, and those stone towers were only two zhang high in the past, and the scale was by no means as large as these stone towers in front of them. ”
"Oh?" When Li Ling heard this, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Gu Qingfeng saw Li Ling's expression was different, and couldn't help asking, "Did you find something?" ”
Li Ling nodded slowly and said, "There are some discoveries, but they still need to be confirmed." After that, Li Ling suddenly flew up, moved against the wind, his body was like a butterfly hovering up, flying straight to a height of four or five zhang, before turning his body and landing lightly on the wooden stake totem on the top of the stone tower.
At this time, Li Ling was condescending, overlooking the entire deserted village, and saw nine stone towers scattered throughout the deserted village, and the location of each stone tower seemed to be chaotic, but it implied an extremely profound layout.
Then, Li Ling flew back to the ground and said, "Now, there are a total of nine such stone towers in the entire village, and the location of these nine towers is extremely special, which seems to imply some kind of formation, and it is ......" Speaking of this, Li Ling stopped talking.
"And what?" Shen Lan asked anxiously.
"And the formation of this stone tower, I feel so familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere!" Li Ling's face was puzzled, but his mind kept thinking about the memories of the stone tower formation.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng was also at a loss in his heart, and then got up in person, flew to the top of the stone tower, and silently observed the formation of the stone tower. After a while, Gu Qingfeng also fell back to the ground, his brows furrowed, and he pondered: "These nine stone towers are very different from the stone towers in the village before. The previous stone tower totems were only used for sacrifices, but these stone towers were much larger than the previous stone towers, and the location of these stone towers was indeed very strange, seemingly chaotic, but it was dark and reasonable, this ...... "Speaking of this, Gu Qingfeng didn't know how to continue.
At this time, Shen Lan asked, "Uncle Gu, wasn't this your hometown before?" Aren't there any clues left in your people? ”
Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "I left here at the age of eighteen, and in the past thirty years, this is the first time I have returned here, so I don't know what happened during this period." As for the secrets of the clan, I have already said everything I know, and I don't know the rest. ”
Hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, Shen Lan couldn't help but be disappointed, but she turned her eyes to look at Li Ling on the side, but saw that Li Ling was still bowing her head and pondering, not knowing what she was thinking.
At the moment when Gu Qingfeng and Shen Lan were helpless, they suddenly heard Li Ling snort lightly and said, "By the way, I remembered, I remembered where I had seen this formation." With that, Li Ling reached out and took out a square sheet wrapped in yellow cloth from his arms.
Shen Lan looked at the things in Li Ling's hand and said puzzledly: "Brother Li, what is this?" ”
Li Ling didn't answer, but slowly untied the yellow cloth in his hand, it turned out that the yellow cloth was wrapped in a palm-sized piece of copper as thin as paper, which was the mysterious copper piece hidden in the Thunder Punishment Secret Book that Li Ling had brought from Lei Xingtian's body.
At this time, Li Ling looked at the copper piece in his hand, silently calculated, and said to himself: "This is it." Look at the center of this copper sheet, there are exactly nine of these triangular symbols, and the arrangement of these triangles is almost exactly the same as the stone pagoda here. ”
Shen Lan and Gu Qingfeng came to Li Ling's side to take a closer look, but they saw that on the palm-sized copper plate, there were mountains, rivers, high mountains and boulders, and there were many winding lines, triangular symbols, and dense lines of small characters in ancient seal style.
Seeing this, Shen Lan was shocked: "Yes, there are indeed nine small triangles on this, but what do these triangles mean?" ”
Gu Qingfeng on the side saw the copper piece at the moment, but his face changed suddenly, his eyes showed shock, and his eyes showed disbelief.
"Where did you get this piece of copper?" Gu Qingfeng asked anxiously.
Seeing this, Li Ling told the truth, told Gu Qingfeng about the copper sheet, and at the same time, he also took out the thunder punishment secret book in his arms, and then handed it to Gu Qingfeng on the opposite side along with the copper piece.
Gu Qingfeng held the copper sheet in one hand and the Thunder Punishment Secret Book in the other, tears flashed in his eyes, and the excitement was overflowing.
"This ...... This is my father's handwriting, this thunder punishment secret book is part of our clan's treasure book "Shenxiao Thunder Decision", which records how to cultivate the thunder punishment divine power, and this copper piece is the map leading to the forbidden land of the altar of the clan, and the formation listed in these triangles, called the Heavenly Thunder Array, is a formation arranged to protect the entrance of the forbidden land. ”
Hearing Gu Qingfeng's words, Li Ling and Shen Lan were both shocked, they never thought that this barren village would hide such an amazing secret.
Suddenly, Gu Qingfeng continued: "It seems that my father deliberately sent this Thunder Punishment Secret Book and map out of the village, the purpose is to hope that one day, these two things can fall into my hands, and then guide me back here to protect the inheritance of the Thunder Clan." ”
"How can Uncle Gu's father know that these two things will definitely return to you?" Shen Lan was puzzled.
Gu Qingfeng smiled bitterly at this time, and said: "Because these two things are originally the things of the Thunder Clan, and the Thunder Dao cultivation method recorded above is also the secret technique of the Thunder Clan, and if you want to find the place of the Thunder Clan's inheritance and successfully open the entrance in the Heavenly Thunder Array, you must cultivate the Divine Thunder to the Nine Heavens." And I am the only one in the world who can meet these conditions and be qualified to protect the things inherited by ThunderClan. Today, these two things can be returned to my hands, because there is a providence in the dark! ”
"ThunderClan's legacy? What is it? Shen Lan continued to ask.
"I don't know!" Gu Qingfeng sighed and said, "Before I left the village, my father never mentioned anything inherited, and I only knew about it when I saw the unique text of the Thunder Clan left by my father on the copper plate. ”
At this moment, Li Ling said lightly: "Okay, since it is your clan's treasure, then return it to its original owner." I don't want to know anything about the inheritance now, I just want to know how I can get out of here. ”
When Gu Qingfeng heard this, his heart moved, and he said gratefully: "Thank you for success!" However, the copper plate only mentions the cracking method of the Heavenly Thunder Array and the map of the ThunderClan Forbidden Land, but does not mention how to leave this place! ”
Hearing this, Li Ling and Shen Lan let out a long sigh at the same time, with a look of disappointment on their faces.
However, after a while, Gu Qingfeng said, "Since we are in the land of Thunderclan, we might as well follow the map and find out." Maybe there is a way to leave this place in the ThunderClan Forbidden Land. ”
