Chapter 54: Ancient Evil
As soon as he entered the county seat, Yunhai discovered something strange.
"It's obviously daytime, why are the streets so deserted?" Akali looked around and found that a county town that was originally quite prosperous was not angry at all.
"Old uncle, where have all the people here?" Yunhai saw an old man pushing a cart from a distance, obviously looking like he was about to flee.
"You are immortals, please be merciful and save us!" the old man bowed his head when he saw the sea of clouds wearing a robe and holding a sword in his hand.
"Old uncle, you can't help it, please get up quickly. Yun Hai and Akali hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up. "Where are all the people here?"
"The immortals don't know, a few days ago, in the deep mountains in the east, suddenly there was a blood-red demonic qi rushing straight into the sky, even the day was obscured, and then, there were huge roars of wild beasts for several days in a row, which frightened us little people uneasy, and the neighbors who could run have fled, leaving only us, the old, weak, sick and disabled here, waiting for death, begging the immortals to have mercy, please."
After sending off the old man.
"The roar of the beast?" Yun Hai looked into the distance and found that the mountain that the old man said was dozens of miles away from here, which was really not a short distance. "What beast could make such a roar?"
"I don't know, but the people here seem to be scared," Akali shook her head.
"Practicing for a lifetime, eliminating demons and defending the way, you can do what you want. But now that the master is in trouble, I must rush back as soon as possible," Yunhai hesitated. It stands to reason that there is a scourge of wild beasts inflicting on the people here, and as a cultivator, how can he not come forward? But now he is on the responsibility of reporting to the master that Amaterasu Jingu has begun to show hostility, and he must rush back as soon as possible.
What should I do? Yunhai was in a dilemma.
"Yunhai, I think we should still solve the matter here first. Suddenly, Akali spoke.
"Huh?" Yun Hai turned his head, looked at her curiously, and said in his heart: "Why does Akali think so? β
"As you said, the Demon Destroyer Guardian is also what he wants, the knight should take dedication as his own responsibility, how can he not draw his sword to help when he sees danger?
After this series of words, Yun Hai felt more and more embarrassed, and said in his heart: "Yes, the road is uneven, how can there be a reason not to draw a sword to help?" Why would I hesitate on this issue, it really shouldn't be Ah Akali is right, I should solve the matter here first." β
Yunhai nodded and said, "In that case, let's go over first?"
Suddenly, a wild roar came, shaking Yunhai's whole body numb, as if even the blood had stopped flowing. Yun Hai had never heard this roar at all, but Yun Hai could judge that this was definitely the roar of an immortal beast or even a divine beast when it was seriously injured!
"What a terrible sound, no wonder the inhabitants here will flee" Akali thumped her chest and gasped, it seemed that even a master like Yunhai and Akali still couldn't bear it in the face of such a roar.
"Then let's hurry over, and we'll know what's going on when we get there. β
The two of them flew into the air, carrying a small light in the direction where the roar came from.
"That's the mountain, right?"
"Listen to the voice, this is it. Yunhai nodded, and suddenly, he swept into the depths of the forest, where something black seemed to be moving. "Akali, right there, let's get over there. β
"Hmm!"
Two streamers flew by, and the two of them hovered in mid-air and looked at it, and they were suddenly startled!
In the open space, many black soldiers who seem to be fired from clay, no different from ordinary ** small, holding various ancient weapons in their hands, are trying to attack a huge cave, and these soldiers made of clay have a trace of evil aura all over their bodies, and their eyes are even more blood-red, and on the ground, there are many broken weapons and clay fragments.
"What is this?, a clay figure?" asked Akali.
"Why are they here?" Yun Hai couldn't believe the scene in front of him. "This is clear, this is clearly the legendary terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin State!"
"Terracotta?"
"Yes, the minions of the brutal Qin State. Yun Hai's face became solemn. "Legend has it that after Ou Yezi forged several of the ten great swords of antiquity, Shenzhou fell into chaos, because the greed for power brought about by force became the driving force for people to kill each other, and it was in this situation that a man who called himself the King of Qin, led a group of soldiers made of clay, began to conquer everything he saw, and wanted to become the overlord of Shenzhou. In the end, with the joint efforts of almost all the cultivators in Shenzhou, King Qin was defeated, and then the current Tianzheng Sect, Amaterasu Shrine, Ten Thousand Snake Palace, and Xuehua faction coexisted, and the Jialan Temple became the major faction that dominated the Shenzhou Buddhism after the disappearance of the Ming King Sect. β
"This King of Qin has done the same thing as our current Rucas Kingdom?"
"That's right. Yun Hai looked at the hundreds of terracotta warriors and horses below, and his heart was also a little frightened. "Anyway, let's get rid of these guys first. β
"What a shame!"
In an instant, Yun Shan came out of the ranks, and Akali pulled out Mo Ye and began the feast of killing!
"Are you okay?" Yun Hai asked after killing the last terracotta warrior and horse.
"Meaningless, these clay figurines can't hurt me. Akali nodded smugly. "But I really didn't expect that this Mo Ye would be so powerful, but didn't you say that the cadre is as powerful as Mo Ye, why does the cadre look so powerful than Mo Ye?"
"That's nature, the people who use it are different, and the power is naturally different. β
"You're looking for death, aren't you!" Akali kicked over.
"Don't make a fuss, let's go to that cave first and see what the sacredness is here. β
After entering the cave, Yun Hai suddenly felt as if he had entered another world, and it seemed that there seemed to be an extremely powerful character here.
"Welcome, strange human. β
Suddenly, a deep, deep voice came.
"May I ask who you are?" the sea of clouds looked around, but only saw a piece of darkness.
"I have been guarding the tomb of King Qin here for thousands of years, and finally, I met two human beings. β
With these words, in the darkness, two golden points of light suddenly appeared, and as the cave lit up, Yunhai also saw the whole picture of this guy in front of him!
"You are" Looking at the golden giant beast in front of him with a length of nearly ten meters and a height of nearly five meters, Yun Hai was stunned and speechless, this giant beast, Yun Hai had seen it in a book!, "You are, one of the five divine beasts, Qilin?"
"Ha Lu Ha, the young man is really knowledgeable, and he recognized me at a glance. The unicorn shook its huge body, and it was impossible to tell whether its expression was happy or angry. "Yunhai, Akali, am I right?"
"Yes. Yunhai wondered, why would the unicorn know his name?
"I'm curious what I know about you?"
"Yes, how did you know our names?" asked Akali.
"I felt you from the moment you came near the cave, and that's when I heard your names. Kirin's voice was still slow and deep. "Besides, you ought to have a companion, can I see her, an old fellow?"
"You're talking about Xiaoguang? As soon as Yunhai whistled at the outside of the cave, in an instant, Xiaoguang squeezed in, and after seeing the huge unicorn, he was stunned at first, and then chirped excitedly.
"Hehe, it's really a spiritual phoenix, it seems that your Vermilion Bird clan is really a successor. Kirin's voice was very pleased.
"Excuse me, Qilin senior, why did those terracotta warriors and horses of the Ancient Qin Empire appear here, and who made them appear?" Yun Hai asked.
"The one who made them appear was naturally King Qin. β
"King Qin, won't you?" Yun Hai was taken aback. "Hasn't King Qin already been killed, how can he still be alive!"
"Do you want to know the way? Please come with me. Kirin slowly stood up and walked towards the depths of the cave with Yunhai and Akali.
"This is here" Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed suddenly, and Yunhai and Akali found themselves in a place similar to a mausoleum, and above the stone gate in front of them, there were two big characters engraved like this-Qin Mound!
Qilin didn't say anything, slowly opened the door, and walked in with the two of them.
"There are so many terracotta warriors and horses here" As Qilin led the two of them through the dark underground palace, Yunhai found that there were countless terracotta warriors and horses here, like a disciplined army, neatly arranged in the tomb, as if waiting for the FΓΌhrer's review.
"This momentum, if they come back to life, what a terrible army it will be" Akali became one of the marshals of the group army of the Lucas Kingdom at the age of twelve, and she was naturally very familiar with the army, she faintly felt that the most elite troops in her country would be completely destroyed by this mud army, I really can't imagine how the cultivators of Shenzhou eliminated the King of Qin at that time.
"These terracotta warriors and horses were some of the soldiers of King Qin back then. Kirin sensed the confusion of the two and explained.
"Senior Qilin, why don't you destroy all these terracotta warriors?" Yun Hai asked.
"Well, when you get inside, you'll understand. Kirin still didn't look back.
