Chapter 12: The Temple of Ecstasy
In fact, the two workers who brushed the floor were not very distracted in their work, it was night, and no one was watching, who wanted to work hard. I saw the two of them quickly take the brush and leave with a quick perfunctory few strokes, carrying the oil drum and yawning.
As soon as the two of them left, Yu Wei drifted closer, trying to cast a spell to wipe off the painted oil stain on the ground near the Guilty Stone.
"You're treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, and if you think about it, even if you get rid of the oil tonight, they won't apply it again tomorrow night? Forget it, there are still a few tourists who believe in these things, and it's useless to think about it, and you can't deceive a few people. Jiang Yi shook his head and said.
Yu Wei disagreed with Jiang Yi's statement very much, and she cast a spell to remove the stains on the ground before saying to Jiang Yi, "This kind of thing, since you see it, you can't ignore it." Maybe my actions are too small to prevent this from happening, but it's enough to make me feel at ease. ”
"What you said is really official, I think the harmonious society should ask you to be an image ambassador or some kind of spokesperson." Jiang Yi pursed his lips, "Are you so kind that you are not afraid that you will be deceived?" ”
“…… Shhhh Yu Wei's finger pointed in the direction of the Guilty Stone.
"Well, it seems to be a little different." Jiang Yi is now a spirit body, although he doesn't know much about mysterious things like spiritual power, he can still sense the changes in spiritual power more or less.
The two observed for a while, and the fluctuations caused by the resonance between the spiritual powers gradually weakened. Yu Wei then used his spiritual power to sweep the ground nearby, and sure enough, there was a slight fluctuation of spiritual power in the open space in front of the Guilty Stone.
"This is it." Yu Wei hurriedly floated to the ground where the spiritual power resonance was strongest, stretched out his hand and concentrated on the ground to input spiritual power, as the energy gathered on the ground became stronger and stronger, a glowing magic circle gradually floated there, and this magic circle was a transmission array connecting the two worlds of yin and yang.
"You see, if I hadn't cast a spell to remove the stains on the ground, I'm afraid it would have taken a long time to find this secret formation, so kindness is still rewarded, and you don't want to act like you don't care about everything in the future." Yu Wei said happily.
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Since you have found the formation, let's leave the yang world quickly, the light emitted by this formation is so strong, it will not be good if it is discovered by others." ”
"Hmm." Yu Wei nodded.
After the two of them entered the formation, the original radiant formation disappeared, and the surrounding ground returned to its original appearance as if nothing had happened.
In an instant, the two of them were teleported to a deserted place, and judging from the wet environment around them, this place was already in the netherworld.
"Great, we've made it to the Hidden Capital!" Yu Wei was overjoyed.
Jiang Yi was naturally very happy, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
Yu Wei shook her head, the secluded capital was so big, and there were only a few places near the capital city that she had visited.
Jiang Yi had no choice but to take out the pad, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that the positioning function of the pad was already usable, and it seemed that it was the barrier that blocked the transmission of the signal before. Judging by the location on the map, their current location was a clearing behind the Hall of Ecstasy.
"It can be positioned, the pad shows that there is the Hall of Lost Souls not far ahead, where the Emperor Xudu works, do we want to go over and report the situation of Dusu Mountain to him?" Jiang Yi, who has read a lot of information, is now almost a PHS in the hidden capital.
Yu Wei sighed, "The position of Emperor Xudu has been vacant for more than a thousand years, and the Ecstasy Hall must have been abandoned long ago. ”
"Why? Can such an important position be filled? Jiang Yi felt very strange.
"I heard that the previous emperor was dismissed for committing a crime, but his term of office was not completed at that time, so he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so this position was vacant." Yu Wei said.
"Can't you...... Isn't this position something that people are scrambling to do, and there is no one to choose for it. Jiang Yi's eyes were hesitant, and his face was incredulous.
"You don't know, most of the positions in Youdu are lifelong, but only the position of Emperor Xudu is replaced once every three thousand years, because of this particularity, the selection of personnel is also very strict, not just anyone who wants to do it or doesn't want to do it." Yu Wei explained.
Even so, Jiang Yi still felt a little puzzled, he always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
"By the way, since the positioning function of the pad can be used, then you can see if you can contact the Ten Kings Palace." Jiang Yi took the initiative to divert the topic.
"Hmm." Yu Wei took the pad and sent a message to Bai Wuchang.
The two of them waited in place for a long time, but there was still no response from the Ten Kings Palace.
"Are they all busy, so they don't have time to reply?" Jiang Yi said.
"I don't know." Yu Wei's uneasy feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger. "I think let's go back to the Ten Kings Palace first and then go to the Soul Cliff, I think we should at least explain the strange phenomenon of Dusu Mountain to the leader, what do you say?"
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to return to my soul, this time I will treat it as a tour in the hidden capital, and I will be familiar with the road next time I come back." Jiang Yi said with a hippie smile.
"......" Yu Wei couldn't help but glance at him.
After the two reached an agreement, they immediately began to act, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, they saw the majestic and quaint Lost Soul Hall standing in front of them, this building still maintains the classical style, and between the carved beams and paintings, people can't help but have the illusion of traveling through time and space.
The corner door on the back wall of the Hall of Lost Souls was not locked, and it was pushed open with a slight push.
So the two of them slipped into the main hall of the Lost Soul Hall through the back corner door, only to see that there was no home furnishings in the empty hall, and on the round pillars carved with complex patterns, dust and cobwebs had accumulated a lot, and it seemed that no one had come in for a long time.
"I don't think the beast pattern carved on this pillar seems to have been seen somewhere?" Yu Wei stretched out his hand and gently stroked the pattern of the beast's head that was hidden by the dust, and his brows furrowed.
"Really?" Jiang Yi also got closer, "Huh? Strange, I also think this pattern is a little familiar, where have I seen it? Ah! How could you forget! Really, I feel like my memory has plummeted since I got here! Jiang Yi thumped his head in annoyance.
“…… Forget it, forget it, I'm just talking about it, don't take it too seriously. Yu Wei felt particularly helpless.
This Jiang Yi is sometimes very mature and steady, and sometimes he is like a full child, and he always likes to say something out of tune on weekdays, and he really can't see through what kind of person he is for a while. However, judging from the fact that King Yama was able to order him to return his soul, he should not be a bad person.
