Chapter 116: The Sacred Pool
Slowly getting up from the soft green grass, Yang Rui saw a pool of holy water, or a vast lake that was white and flawless, crystal clear. Surrounded by green hills and warm sunshine, it has become a space of its own, and there is another world!
The undead race was definitely a powerful and alternative race in ancient times, and the original worship of the god Nine Heavens Xuanniao definitely belonged to the god of wind and fire, and the Nine Heavens Xuanhuo released by it could instantly dispel all the haze between heaven and earth.
At the same time, this clan worships water culture, such as the Singing Snake, the White Snake and the Teng Snake, etc., which are all related to the water culture, and in the legend, the great god Yu Xi is at the water's edge to recreate the body of human beings based on the water element and the earth element, thus restoring the current prosperity of the Yuancang realm.
This is a race that follows the rules and strictly obeys the ancestral system, but after the Great War of the Three Realms, the old gods were abolished and the new gods were honored. Rune prohibitions are set everywhere, and the clan rules are cumbersome, but they do not exclude foreigners from joining, and there are even precedents for inviting foreigners as patriarchs.
It is a noble and proud race, which can be seen in the magnificence of the costumes, but it seems to be very open in matters of the sexes, because everywhere you can see the sculptures of the naked or half-naked, the lines are natural and perfect, and they embody the supreme pursuit of life of the undead.
Perhaps because of their endless lives, the undead lived in extreme luxury, striving for the sophistication of all crafts, especially the art of carving and alchemy, to an unsurpassed level, while maintaining their inner simplicity and closeness to nature.
All of this is reflected in the temple of Yuxi.
Sit on the grass and feel the cool breeze with the fragrance. The young man sighed in his heart, opening up such a space in this 15,000-zhang magma world, such a big stroke, probably only the ancient eight clans can do it......
At this time, above the surface, in the desert around the city of the concubine, the overwhelming black storm appeared again.
The originally clear sky was gradually shrouded in dark clouds, and all kinds of birds and beasts had already sensed the movement of the earth, and began to return to their nests in large numbers.
In an instant, dark clouds fell like a tidal wave. The wind and sand rose like a veil. The two sides fused at a high altitude to form a huge shield that enveloped the entire Feiwang City and the surrounding primeval forests in it.
From heaven to earth, the space here begins to distort. Look far away. The vast desert ancient city flickered. Like a mirage, it becomes unattainable.
This is the undead Protector Array is beginning to take shape!
Beneath the surface, in the main hall where the temple of Yuxi is connected to the Tower of Babel. Yu Jiu, Tong Xuan, Xiao Xuannu and Xiao Bai each guarded one side, constantly injecting Yuan Li into the three multicolored spars in front of them. Zhang Lao stood in the center of the formation with a stern expression, constantly changing his handprints, and chanting words in his mouth.
Excite!
Suddenly, a strong wind rose from the ground, blowing everyone's clothes with a whistling sound, and twelve multicolored spars in four wooden boxes rose from the ground and rushed into the swirling black hole at the top of the main hall.
The Tower of Babel is full of light, and the majestic momentum spreads out, like an undersea volcano erupting, stirring up thousands of huge waves.
The next moment, the light shrank in vain, turning into twelve points of light and shooting towards the four heavenly pillars respectively!
Bang!
The four pillars of heaven are lit up by multicolored crystals, and four pillars of light rise from the floating island at the top, reaching into the sky!
Thunder roared, dark clouds rolled, and space was constantly changing. A low, old voice echoed through the sky, as if it were reciting a certain scripture, and although it was dim, it seemed to drown out all the sounds, continuously.
All the birds and beasts stood on the spot, quietly watching the sky, and in their veins still preserved the memories of the ancients, in awe of this vision of heaven and earth.
Suddenly, a strong light in the sky of the palace dispelled the dark clouds, the thunder disappeared, and the warm sunlight swayed on the earth, and everything seemed to return to normal.
At the same time, in the middle of the Western Desert, the vast desert ancient city and its surrounding primeval forests once again disappeared from people's sight, leaving only the endless sand dunes and the hot and dry Gobi.
From time to time, black hurricanes blow here, which can be disorienting. And with the arrival of the black hurricane, there were also those dry corpses with empty eyes and expressionless faces, dragging rusty weapons in their hands, wandering around, searching for everything that was alive.
"Okay, the Great Guardian Array has been successfully set up again, hard work everyone!" Zhang Lao breathed a sigh of relief, stood in the center of the formation, and said to everyone with a smile: "The next thing is to depend on the little apprentice." ”......
After resting for a while, the boy jumped up from the grass, bit a small piece of grass in his mouth, and leisurely walked up a hill by the lake along a stream. According to the message of the Inheritance Sigil, the real altar is on this mountain.
Along the way, the green trees and the breeze, the birds and flowers are fragrant, the flowing water is murmuring, the fish are shallow, and the stream water is tasted with both hands, which is cold and sweet, refreshing and refreshing.
"It's really water this time!" the young man muttered to himself, because the pool of water next to the Baolian lamp holder in the Golden Light Cave was condensed from spiritual power, not a real natural water source.
Everything here is natural, not artificial. It is very likely that the ancestors of the undead race used divine energy to seal a piece of heaven and earth here, otherwise how could there be such green mountains and green waters under this earth, and the sky is clear?
Turning around a bush of low logs, the boy came to a stone platform, on which the wooden stakes were misplaced, and on them were all colorful and carved with various patterns. The young man carefully observed with great interest, and what was narrated on the stake was probably the deeds of the great god Yuxi who made up the heavens and created man.
Looking at these wooden stakes, which were both strange and familiar, the young man finally came to the altar of the Holy Land.
Sure enough, through the wooden stakes that stood in the forest, and not long after walking up, the young man saw a statue of a goddess about three zhang high from a distance, with a towering bun, a plump body, flowers and plants as a crown, and a thin silk covering the body, lying on the edge of a circular pool more than ten zhang wide and made of white marble.
On the left and right are two statues of a man and a woman with snake tails, with beautiful lines. Each holding a clay pot in his hand is pouring water into the pool. It seems that this is the source of the water of the large lake at the foot of the mountain, and the two snake tails just lead the water from the pond into the stream.
"This should be the great god Yuxi and her two protector gods. The young man looked at the perfectly carved statue in amazement, and couldn't help but think of the graceful light and shadow he saw at the bottom of the lotus pond in the Golden Light Cave.
"That's really the Baolian lantern left by the great god Yuxi, maybe the Golden Light Cave is the place where she once practiced. The boy muttered to himself, now he could be sure that he had indeed found a inheritance that belonged to Yu Xi before.
Downstream of the pond is a small and elaborate temple with only one hall and a few rooms for storing ritual utensils and clothing. According to the memory of the Inheritance Sigil, the boy needs to bathe and change his clothes here again before entering the sacred pool above for the ritual.
To the boy's surprise, there was an open-air geothermal hot spring in the exquisite temple. Lying comfortably in the steaming hot spring, the boy looked out at the beautiful scenery in the distance. Completely exhaust the body and mind.
"This undead will really enjoy it. The boy said with a smile. After bathing, I was refreshed, changed into a set of white robes for memorial services, and walked slowly to the holy pool.
"Then, it's time to break the seal for that savage princess!" the young man took out the golden crystal necklace from his bosom and looked at it carefully. I searched for the information in my head. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. My heart beats a little faster.
With his understanding, coupled with such a formation, he recalled the scene when he woke up the princess in the tomb holy land. The young man was embarrassed, and roughly guessed the meaning in Zhang Lao's eyes. Why do you always encounter such a thing, and you may be chased by the princess again!
"Old man Zhang must know what to say!" the young man said fiercely with a punch into the air.
When Zhang Lao pushed this task to the teenager, he did not explain it in detail. For a thirteen-year-old boy, in addition to the primitive throbbing in his heart, he felt more that this was a chore with a knife and a neck.
"Hmph, just do it, who's afraid of whom!" the young man blushed and took off the white robe, and swam to a platform in the middle of the pool with the golden crystal necklace.
This rectangular platform, surrounded by delicate carvings, is inlaid with a large blue crystal of a grinding disc in the center of each of the four sides. The platform is just submerged by the pond water, and it is a place where sacrifices and magic artifacts are placed during the usual sacrifices.
Placing the crystal necklace on the platform, the young man sat down, let out a long breath, regained his composure, and according to the instructions of the inheritance sigil, he formed a series of handprints in his hands, and recited ancient scriptures in his mouth.
At this moment, the boy's consciousness seemed to have traveled through time and space to ancient times, and he could even understand the ancient and complicated ancient words and languages one by one. The whole body and mind were immersed in the scriptures, feeling the huge message left by the ancients.
Unconsciously, the clay pot in the hands of the statues of Bai Ji and Teng Snake began to turn from a trickle into a column of water, and the water level in the pool rose little by little, and soon it was not past the young man's knees. The boy didn't know about this, and blindly closed his eyes and recited the scriptures.
Wow!
The water level did not pass the boy's chest, overflowing, flowing down the mountain from all sides of the circular pool. The blue crystals on the platform glowed a faint blue, and there seemed to be runes swimming out of them, flowing along the water throughout the mountain lake.
The sound of chanting seemed to come from ancient times, resounding throughout this world, and the mountains, rivers and lakes in the entire holy land were all exuding a slight glow, as if forming a huge formation!
The water in the clay pot suddenly stopped, and the surface of the water became as calm as a mirror.
The entire sacred pool at the top of the mountain was shining brightly at this moment, as if it was filled with holy light. The crystal necklace that had been placed on the platform floated, absorbing the light and heat of the sacred pool.
As the young man closed his eyes and chanted, the energy of heaven and earth continued to converge towards the altar, and countless golden lights emanated from the crystal necklace, as if it was beginning to outline a young and beautiful human body.
With the passage of time, the petite body with smooth fragrance and perfect curves gradually solidified.
Qianqian jade hands, Lingbo jade feet, abundant and outstanding, alluring the country and the city. Sakura lips are slightly upturned, the nose is high, the phoenix eyes are slightly closed, the long eyelashes are countable, and the thick silver hair is slightly curly, scattered behind the shoulders.
A string of golden crystal necklaces with a jade neck like a falling goose adds a bit of beauty. It is like looking at the moon in the water, exploring the bamboo by the clouds, looking forward to the brilliance, and provoking people's hearts.
However, this scene was completely unseen by the young man, the inheritance of the undead race had begun, and at this moment he was wandering alone in the long river of time, chanting sutras and enlightening the Tao, and exchanging various experiences with the ancestors of the undead race.
This is a race that has been handed down from the Taishi era to the present, with infinite heritage, and he understands the inheritance of the undead race with his heart, which has benefited him a lot, and even vaguely understands a set of his own martial arts.
The young man's handsome face, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his expression was intoxicated.
Although he is only thirteen years old, he has already begun to grow up, coupled with the physique of the strange beast, not much shorter than the princess, the upper body is exposed to the water, and the skin is crystal clear like a born spirit child, although he does not show muscles, but it contains an incomparably powerful strength.
The sound of the road was endless, and in the clear and dazzling pool water, the princess finally completely unsealed, and floated in front of the young man wrapped in a warm halo.
A green leaf floated into the water, causing a circle of ripples, the phoenix's eyes moved slightly, and the beauty in the water slowly opened her eyes!
(If you want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.) (To be continued......)
