391. Blood sacrifice
As he spoke, Ciyin pulled Xie Zheng and flew up for a distance, and he lowered his eyes and looked at his feet, as if thinking about how to break in.
Xie Zheng looked at it for a while and scratched his head: "Why don't I come and split a sword directly?" ”
Ciyin immediately laughed and said, "No, Xuannu is one of the seven gods, even if she is already hidden, her cave must not be forced to break in." ”
That's right.
Xie Zheng dispelled the intention of breaking through this cave with a sword, raised his palm, and a snow-colored light flashing with pink and blue electric light instantly gushed out from his palm, which was pouring out of divine power, rapidly leaping and circulating, lingering around them.
Ciyin knew that she would not act rashly, so she didn't plan to stop it at all, he also wanted to see what Xie Zheng had come up with.
Soon, the divine power that had been condensed around them for a long time dispersed in an instant, sinking into the high walls made of sea water on both sides, and the sea water that had already calmed down suddenly surged.
However, before he could set off a raging wave, the divine power carried the water flow down from the water wall, and fell straight to the roof that had just been exposed, and after washing away the foul smelly mud, Xie Zheng concocted the same method and led the sewage away.
After insisting on this for a few back and forth, the huge palace finally showed its shape, although the outer layer was dilapidated, but it could still be vaguely seen in the glory and glory of the past.
"It's just a palace, and it doesn't look very good."
Barely having a position to put his feet down, Xie Zheng muttered while pulling Ciyin down.
The problem now is that there is an invisible but strong sense of presence outside this palace, so she washed the sludge outside so roughly, and the barrier did not move at all, and it seemed that the palace was well protected.
But as far as the naked eye can see, the entire palace is so damaged and dilapidated that it looks indescribably weird.
Before she could come up with a reason, the two of them had already walked outside the ruined vermilion gate of the palace, and they only needed to take a small step forward to enter the palace.
Xie Zheng was a little hesitant, seeing that Ciyin was about to reach out and push the door, she hurriedly grabbed him and told her what she had just discovered.
Hearing this, Ciyin pondered for a moment and said, "This protective barrier you mentioned exists, and I can also feel that as for this palace to gradually fall into disrepair, I think it is because its owner is no longer in this world and does not have enough energy to sustain it. ”
After a pause, he pulled a wooden sword from his sleeve and tried to push the door.
The door opened with a long creak and a tooth-aching sound, and at the same time, the interior of the palace was clearly visible.
Behind the door is a straight and spacious Shinto that stretches straight into the distance, almost with no end in sight, and on either side of the Shinto, rows of milky white pillars stand.
I can still feel the divine majesty of the coercion belonging to the main god of the Seven Gods, but that's all, the yellow flowers have long since passed away with the wind yesterday, and there is no threat to them in the slightest.
The two looked at each other with understanding, stepped over the high threshold together, and entered the hall smoothly.
It's just that outside the barrier and outside the barrier, the feeling that this palace gives them is very different.
Fang Cai could only vaguely feel the aftermath of the deceased Seven Gods, and after coming in, the feeling of oppression that made her break out in a cold sweat came to her face.
Xie Zheng's footsteps paused slightly, and the hand on the hilt of the Folding Moon Sword used a little strength, as if he was about to draw his sword at any time.
Her voice was full of doubts: "Is Xuannu really dead?" ”
This palace is full of strange and extremely aggressive divine powers.
Xie Zheng was suddenly a little afraid, if she really slashed down with a sword, she might suffer a more deadly counterattack.
"It doesn't matter, we came in to find Changxi Divine Venerable."
Hearing his words, Xie Zheng fell silent.
She didn't understand why Zhang Daoling would find this kind of place when he was looking for someone, and he didn't want to come down in person, but the matter had come to this point, and there was nothing to complain about.
"I don't know what is hidden in this palace yet, the phoenix has used the remnants of the Xuannu's divine power to do so many crazy things, we should be careful."
The two of them continued to walk along the Shinto path as they spoke.
"Look at those pillars, are they carved with formations? It's weird, is the pattern drawn like this? ”
Xie Zheng is a pure sword cultivator, although he has also dabbled in formations and runes, but after all, he is not as deep as swordsmanship, so when he saw the intricate carvings on the pillar in front of him, he couldn't help but fall into doubt.
Ciyin was just looking at these patterns, and when she asked, she said, "It's an ordinary sealing array pattern... But it's painted in reverse. ”
Xie Zheng: "? ”
"Is it painted backwards?"
Like this kind of cave, most of the formations are defensive or protective, if you draw it backwards... The role of this great array... Wouldn't it also be destroyed?
"It doesn't look like it was changed by a latecomer, it's more like... From the hand of Xuannu herself, the divine power is vast, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary immortals. ”
Ciyin is probably very sure, which is why she is so outspoken.
Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment, and an extremely bad thought suddenly rose in his heart: "I'm not good at formations, and if I seal the formation and draw it backwards, how can I not change the trapped formation, right?" ”
Ciyin's face became solemn: "That's right, this palace appears here... It's supposed to trap something. ”
As for what the hell is trying to trap... Xie Zheng had a faint guess in his heart.
"It can't be to trap the phoenix, right?"
Hearing this, Ciyin sighed and shook his head: "It's possible, but it's not sure yet, go inside." ”
So the two of them continued to go inside, and walked for about a quarter of an hour, and there was still no end in sight to the Shinto, and the milky white pillars on both sides still exuded pure and majestic divine power of the ancient gods.
Xie Zheng looked around as he walked, Ciyin suddenly paused, she might as well bump into his shoulder, only then came back to her senses and asked, "What's wrong?" What did you find? ”
Ciyin pulled her to the nearest pillar, stretched out a finger, and the golden Buddha light condensed from the fingertips, and smeared it on the surface of the pillar.
After a while, where the Buddha's light had not passed, a layer of more distorted and strange words appeared, and the words were filled with bubbling black gas, which was extremely demonic.
"It's... This is a formation like a blood sacrifice! ”
Even Xie Zheng, who is not good at formations, can see the clues at a glance.
"A layer of blindfolding, a layer of reverse painting of the trapped formation, is it to hide this blood sacrifice formation?"
The more Xie Zheng spoke, the more surprised he became, and finally couldn't help but raise his voice and exclaimed: "Zhang Daoling won't pit us, right?" Knowing that there is a trapped formation and a blood sacrifice formation below, still let us come down? ”
"You don't want us to die here, do you?!"
