Volume I.: Imperial Capital Chapter 11: The Thirteen Generals of the Revenant
"This is, the Cliff Underground? Is the Dark River down there? Fang Li looked at the scene in front of him and stopped. The vision of this place was already quite broad, and he used the power of his spiritual sense to look down, but he couldn't see the end, and it was pitch black underneath, like an abyss.
On the side, Qianqiu threw a stone down, but the two of them couldn't hear the echo for a long time.
"Is there a bottomless bottom, so deep ······" Chiaki said softly.
"There's still a way, keep going." Fang Li pointed ahead, there was a suspension bridge, all the way forward, leading into the darkness ahead, and he couldn't see where this road led.
"Well, be careful." Qianqiu nodded slightly, after all, he had already come here, and it was impossible to return the same way, so let's move on!
So, Fang Li held Qianqiu, and the two of them stepped on the suspended suspension bridge cautiously one after the other, all the way forward.
I don't know how far they walked, but the surroundings were already completely dark, and even the cliff where they came couldn't be seen, and the two could only move forward in the dark.
Fang Li took out a spar for lighting, but the light emitted by the spar was extremely weak, and it could only illuminate two meters around. Walking on this rather strange road, he was not too flustered, and his black eyes were full of calmness.
"If it weren't for those five years of the exam, I'm afraid I would have been scared out of my legs now." Fang Li sighed softly in his heart, this ruin was a little unexpected.
Behind him, Qianqiu's pace was also quite firm, following Fang Li all the way.
After the two of them walked for an unknown amount of time, there was a faint light in front of them, and the suspended suspension bridge seemed to be coming to an end. At the end of the road, there is a huge underground palace, and there is a stone road leading forward. On the stone pillars on both sides of the stone path, purple flames rose to provide some light.
From this moment on, there was a whispering sound in the entire heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth yuan force did not seem to be so pure, as if it was contaminated with some impurities.
And the darkness around the dungeon is different from the darkness of the road ahead. The darkness of the road ahead is pure darkness; And in the darkness here, there is a hint of weirdness.
If you stay for a long time, I'm afraid that you will get cold on your body.
After stepping into the underground palace from the bridge, not far in front of it, there is a large square, around the square, there are thirteen dark stone statues, all with hideous faces, holding weapons, as if they are guarding something.
Behind the thirteen statues, there is a path that leads deeper.
"It's dangerous here." After entering the underground palace, Qianqiu's face became solemn, and the spiritual imprint between his eyebrows had already lit up. The fused soul cultivation crystal was also constantly emitting a glimmer of light at this moment, trying to dissipate some of the surrounding weirdness.
"This mission... It's really hard to do. Fang Li said softly. This dark feeling reminded him of that feeling three years ago, when he was around the sea of the abyss.
If you stay for a long time, it will make people feel crazy.
Boom——!
After the two stepped into the square, a loud bang suddenly sounded, and the two of them were startled, and immediately back to back, their nerves tensed, and around them, one after another patterns continued to take shape.
Soon, they discovered the source of the loud noise, and the thirteen stone statues actually took a step forward at the same time!
"This stone statue can't be alive, right?" Fang Li had a bold guess.
"No······" Qianqiu's voice was a little nervous.
Just as Qianqiu's words fell, the stone statue in the center moved again.
"Wow, ahhhh It's really alive! Chiaki was suddenly frightened.
"Don't panic, it shouldn't be malicious." Fang Li patted Qianqiu and said. His gaze was fixed on the stone statue in the center, the aura of the stone statue was revealed just now, and he felt it, it was a rather powerful aura. If it really had any malicious intentions, it would have killed them a long time ago.
So, both of them stared at the stone statue in the center with wide eyes.
A moment later.
"Hehe, the two little ones are interesting." The stone statue couldn't help it, and opened its mouth first, "There are several waves of little guys in front, and when they arrived here, they were all frightened and ran away without looking back." ”
"We're just a little bolder and more careful, seniors." Fang Li scratched his head and smiled cheekily.
"No matter what, to be able to stand here and talk to me proves that your heart is far beyond ordinary people." The central statue said, he took two more steps forward, sat down, and continued: "Two little ones, sit down first, you must have a stomach full of questions, and listen to me carefully." ”
When Fang Li and Qianqiu heard this, they obediently sat down in the square and listened to the words of the stone statue.
"Before you come in, you must have encountered a guardian array, that is the guardian spirit array of the entire underground palace - Zhou Tianxing Divine Array, this array is located in the endless void corresponding to Cangtian Mountain, Cangtian Mountain, it is a small entrance."
"The Guardian Spirit Circle will open every once in a while, forming a ruin-like fluctuation, which can provide a place for young people like you to experience and chance. What the Spirit Array has experienced is mainly the mind, and all kinds of difficulties when you came were transformed by the Spirit Array. ”
"If you pass the experience of this kind of mind, reach us and dare to face us, you will get a chance in this underground palace. However, there are also conditions for obtaining such opportunities. As he spoke, the statue paused and looked at the two people sitting on the ground.
"Dare to ask the seniors, what conditions are needed?" Fang Li hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Do you know why this dungeon exists, and why we sleep here?" The central stone statue asked, however, before Fang Li and Qianqiu could answer, he continued to his own thoughts: "Ten thousand years ago, a great war broke out between heaven and earth in the realms of our race, and the aura of world destruction appeared. Fortunately, there was a powerful shot at that time, and after a hundred years of war, the world-destroying qi was finally sealed, and some of the stronger ghosts and ghosts were also suppressed and sealed by the people of the [Star Palace]. ”
"The underground palace here is a place of suppression, and the suppression under the underground palace is one of the six elders of the [Blood River Palace] back then. In order to commemorate our achievements, the people of the [Star Palace] used special means to resurrect us in the world, and the price was to be located in the underground palace forever to suppress the evil. ”
"So, you can call us the Thirteen Dead Souls."
With the story of the stone statue, Fang Li and Qianqiu seemed to have a scene of light and shadow in front of them, where the people lost their homes and were displaced, and the vast aura collapsed one after another······ Although it is only the tip of the war, it is enough to catch a glimpse of the tragedy of that war.
"Thank you seniors for protecting the way for this world." Fang Li and the others stood up and bowed heavily to the thirteen stone statues.
The central stone statue was not pretentious, and accepted their gift. If it weren't for their sacrifice in exchange for the stability of this side, Ze would be in the future, and these two little guys might not exist.
"This is the truth you have been waiting to know. If you want to get the opportunity, you should take the responsibility that comes with it. Of course, this responsibility may be illusory, and perhaps you will not be able to wait for the war to start again after spending your entire life, and perhaps in the near three or five years, the war will break out again. ”
"And what you have to do is that when the war starts again, no matter where you are or where you are, you will have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war, no matter life or death. Wait, do you dare to come down?! ”
Fang Li and Qianqiu glanced at each other, and then both of them arched their hands and said: "If the war starts again, our generation should do our best to protect the people!" ”
Hearing this, the central stone statue seemed to snort lightly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a piece of light paper appeared, and he said: "Integrate the origin of your spiritual consciousness and essence and blood into this paper, if you regret it in the future, you should die." ”
When the two of them heard this, their faces did not change. They didn't delay, and then two streamers and two balls of essence blood fell into the light paper.
It's just that Qianqiu's essence blood has a slight golden glimmer of light.
Seeing this, the stone statue nodded slightly, put away the light paper, and said, "In this case, I will send the two of you to a place of chance, and we will meet again." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his huge stone palm. Holding the two in the palm of his hand, he turned and walked away. The remaining twelve stone statues all took a step back and stood in their original positions.
When the stone statue was lowered, the two were in a cave again. Behind him is the same abyss as when he came, and in front of him is a slightly heavy stone door.
"After all this effort, are you finally going to find an opportunity?" Fang Li rubbed his palms and stared at the stone door.
"Indeed, a little tired." Chiaki nodded.
The two stepped forward directly, stretched out their hands and pushed, and pushed open the stone door. They walked briskly into the stone chamber.
This stone chamber is extremely spacious, and there is a stone statue in the center, which should be the owner of this stone chamber, and in front of the stone statue, there are five stone boxes, each of which is carved with complex patterns. On both sides of the stone chamber, there is a cabinet on one side, and a nursery on the other.
"This is where the treasure is hidden? Is there really no danger at all? Fang Li hesitated a little, he didn't dare to touch the things here, and Qianqiu also had a little doubt on his face, looking at the stone statue vigilantly.
When he was in the Xiang family, every time a ruin appeared, it would almost attract a large number of people, as strong as their Xiang family, there would be casualties every time, how could he have seen such a safe ruin?
"Little ones, don't think about it, ordinary people can't get in here." Just as the two of them were puzzled, an illusory figure appeared in the stone room and chuckled.
The two of them were startled, and immediately laid out a formation, and Sen Ran's sword light and heavenly thunder fire lingered around them to prevent this phantom from suddenly attacking.
"You're wary." Seeing this, the phantom laughed out loud and said, "I'm just a spirit, just to wait for the arrival of someone who is destined, although the strength of the two of you is a little worse, but your heart is not bad." ”
Qianqiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked with some hesitation: "The predecessor is the master of this stone room?" ”
"That's right." The phantom nodded, and said, "In this ruins, there are many similar stone chambers, and this is just a group of tombs. ”
"If the two of you can break through the Zhou Tianxing Divine Array and the Thirteen Generals of the Revenant, you must have something extraordinary. However, what treasures you can get today depends on your own abilities. He looked at the stone box and said, "The contents of these five stone boxes are refined from what I have obtained in my life, and there is a spiritual seal on the stone box, and each person can only try it once." ”
"If you fail, it means that you have no relationship with the contents of the box, and you should not force it. As for the two sides, there are knick-knacks, and you can take them as you like. With that, the phantom glanced at them meaningfully and disappeared into the stone chamber.
