Chapter 203: The Forest of Purple Bamboo
The heavy stone door settled like a cage, as if to block something that should not be in this temple.
The two of them stopped talking, they were now offering a feast in front of the stairs for the Divine Son, and after the ceremony began, this was a place where there was no entry or exit.
At this point, there is no way back.
As far as Pei Ye is concerned, it is actually enough to be able to come in and find the girl, so that she will no longer be alone in a place that she cannot see or touch.
Except for this kind of thing, there are not too many things that teenagers are afraid of.
He slowly squeezed the girl's hand, and wanted to hold the black cat in his arms, but Li Yiqing had already hugged it first. So the boy looked up at the rising point of light and pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.
In silence, the unhindered ritual was finally completed, and the fire-like points of light flowed into a river to the sky.
The silver ribbon hanging upside down from the sky drowned the three of them.
Pei Ye once again had the feeling of the world floating and the stars moving, but it was very different from the time when he was under Zhu Gaoyang and outside the stone gate just now.
- Everything in front of him is out of sight, except for those purple bamboos and white mist.
They are growing and ethereal.
Didn't leave and change, the bamboo pierced through the white mist, and the sarongs and purple bamboos shrouded them so clearly that when everything settled, pei ye only felt that he was still in the same place.
Didn't go anywhere.
It was still the silence that shrouded me, and only when I was in the ground could my ears have such a sense of fear that seemed to be cut off from the world.
There is still a hard stone surface under his feet, and the intricately painted jade array is slowly dissipating the fluorescence, and the stone wall is so cold that it seems to ooze water droplets.
It's just that the strange bamboos around it are even taller, as if they have grown for decades, and they have been reaching into the bottomless darkness above.
Pei Ye saw these strange bamboos for the first time after they grew up, the heterogeneous purple was as deep as chalcedony, but it really didn't come from some kind of illusion, except for the dead and new fallen leaves covered by the ground, the bamboo body was also cold, wet, hard, and even the same as the naturally growing bamboo, there were rough, curved, and even diseased spots.
Such a real bamboo forest.
Pei Ye was stunned for a moment before noticing the unusual silence around him.
His heart suddenly tightened - this underground stone hall is not small, but it is not big, if the ceremony has been completed, at this time, the so-called Son of God may already be in the bamboo forest close by.
As soon as he thought of this, he clenched the girl's cold palm again, turned his head and whispered, "Be careful, that Divine Son may already be—"
In an instant, the young man's heart seemed to be pinched and exploded.
Pei Ye stiffened, and the cold suffocation choked his throat tightly.
There was only a girl's severed arm left in his hand.
As if a giant hammer had smashed into the back of his head, Pei Ye only felt hazy, and the next moment, this arm with fine white skin and green sleeves suddenly wrapped around his arm, and the young man's heartstrings at this time were stretched into a trembling straight line, and he pulled out the mountain feather, but his movements were stiff, and he didn't know for a while what the arm that made his heart tremble.
At this moment, the calmness of the cold night water spread in his heart, [Quail Head] cleared his mind for a moment, Pei Li's eyes condensed, and he felt that he had penetrated a layer of fog, and the broken arm of the girl in his hand twisted and changed, turning into a black and purple snake shadow.
Hideous teeth were rushing towards his face.
The mountain feather swept up, and with a sound of "grabbing", the autumn water sword blade first pierced the snake's neck and then the purple bamboo, and the bamboo shook the leaves, and the two had been nailed together.
Pei Ye took a deep breath before he calmed down the suffocating feeling of biting death in his chest, and as soon as the green shadow next to him leaned, he immediately reached out and grabbed the girl's fallen waist.
Her lips were already pale, and at this time, she was like a serious injury recurrence, and she collapsed in his arms and trembled deeply.
The black cat's eyes solemnly withdrew the little paw from her cold forehead: "This place is overwhelmed with heart, like a blade piercing the heart, her heart is not clear, and she is even more tormented here." ”
"Here?" Pei Ye asked in a daze, suddenly realized something, and he slowly turned around.
It turned out that he was not still in the stone hall, so he could still see the purple bamboo and the stone wall.
It's just that since he came here, he has been at the starting point, with his back to the broadest things.
The dome was still deep and distant black, like an upside-down abyss, but in front of him there was a light source from nowhere, and everything in the eyes was clearly visible.
The boundless bamboo forest is paved with layers of purple jade shadows, and the mist is diffused and shuttled in it, soft as the breeze, floating like water waves, covering it until the end of the field of vision.
This is indeed not like some deep and cramped underground, but a real ethereal fairyland.
Between the bamboo forests, a straight white stone path paved with jade led far into the depths of the mist, and the kind of high desert that made mortals shudder was pressing down from the end of the road.
They were at the beginning of this divine path.
Pei Li's heart suddenly emptied, and he reached out and pressed the sword box behind his back.
This is the final reliance of all the rampage after he came to Xiangzhou, at this time he opened the box and took the sword, and the glazed and delicate sword body was still lying quietly inside, but Pei Ye gently pressed the hilt of the sword, and he already felt something.
Distant communication, weak transmission.
Pei Ye suddenly knew where he had come.
Thirty years ago, Xitian went into the mountains alone and trekked for a month to find the obsessive place; Two months ago, Zi Huang and Zhang Zijing found the nightmare place with their paintings, and at that time, the Candle World Sect was plotting everything about the Immortal Monarch's incarnation a month later.
It is in the depths of Xincang Mountain, and it takes a full fifteen days to trek from Yinyang to here.
“.”
"I'm fine." The girl who was lying on his shoulder stopped trembling, propped up her body, and said weakly.
Pei Ye looked at the girl's face, the pale color was not reduced, but the light in her eyes was already condensed, she supported her body by herself, and smiled faintly: "The true qi is coming back little by little, I'm fine." ”
Pei Ye nodded, pulled the long sword from the bamboo, and the scaly cold snake corpse fell to the ground, and a few traces of blue blood flowed out of the wound.
Pei Li's gaze stayed on it for a moment, then turned his head to look forward solemnly.
This is the final place where they have arrived in search of the immortal scroll, where the legendary Divine Son of the Edict resides, and there is no doubt that through this, he can uncover many of the secrets of the Candle Sect.
This cult has not been heard from as soon as it appears.
Pei Ye closed the lid of the glass without saying a word, and stepped forward first.
Li Yiqing followed closely behind with the black cat, such a vast and ethereal fairyland, so silent that there was only the lonely footsteps of the two of them.
The Jade Array had completely lost its light, and the mist gradually submerged their figures, and where the two had left, the snake corpse that had fallen to the ground had disappeared.
