Chapter 57: Notes, Necklaces, and Scrolls
The dazzling sunlight shines through the huge Gothic crystal windows and reflects on the finely carved and imposing relief stone walls. The color and the characters and scenery on the relief painting are skillfully coordinated, making the mural more vivid and full of aura, which is really a rare and amazing masterpiece.
Before the mural, the princess holding the small box in her hand had tears in her eyes, and she was full of grace, and I felt pity. Suddenly remembering that there was a young man beside him, he quickly wiped away the tears on his face and returned to his previous arrogant expression.
Turning his head suddenly, Meimu stared at the young man fiercely and said, "Don't mention this matter to others, otherwise I will kill you!"
Yang Rui innocently made a gesture to the princess, which meant to absolutely abide by the secret, but he thought in his heart, are you chasing me less? It seems that the eldest princess also has the side of a little woman, hehe.
He coughed dryly and changed the subject, "Let's see what's in the box, maybe we can solve the mystery of this Heavenly Consciousness Temple." ”
"Humph!"
The princess glanced at the boy fiercely, and turned her head to look at the small box in her hand, although she was expecting an answer, but she was afraid that she would see some bad news. After a few moments, he finally let out a sigh of relief and slowly opened the lid.
Suddenly, a dazzling and warm golden halo lit up the princess's face, and the lid of the small box was opened, and it began to melt away as it had appeared. The expected spiritual image did not appear, and when the box disappeared, a note, a golden crystal necklace, and a dark black scroll appeared on the princess's hand.
Unfold the slip of paper, on which a few lines of words are scribbled with a line pen commonly used in engraving.
"The crystal necklace is a gift for the cute little princess, PS. Please bring it with you. Also, please take care of this scroll and don't fall into the wrong hands. ”
The last few fonts are particularly scribbled, apparently written in a very urgent situation. However, after reading the note, the princess was relieved, because there was no bad news in the box. Although Uncle Fog Wind may be in some trouble, it should not be the fatal kind.
The princess casually lifted her hair and sideburns, and put on the golden crystal necklace, which matched her face and looked even more glamorous. Suddenly, a warm current overflowed from the crystal necklace and injected into the princess's body, forming an invisible defense.
Obviously, this golden crystal necklace is not just beautiful in appearance, but a treasure with special attributes that has been blessed by the rune master. Aware of the special effect of the crystal necklace, the princess couldn't help but smile knowingly, Uncle Mistwind's shot was really good.
Yang Rui, who had been standing silently on the side, was also relieved to see the princess like this, and then shifted his attention to the scroll. How could a scroll that could make a temple curator go to great lengths to keep it be an ordinary thing?
"Ahem, look at what is written on that scroll, maybe it has something to do with that wail. Yang Ruimo rubbed the pendant around his neck and urged curiously.
"Oh, what a shame. "The princess is in a good mood now, and has long forgotten what happened to her crying nose just now.
Looking at the dark black scroll in his hand, he thought to himself, maybe this is the purpose of the Heavenly Consciousness Temple being invaded by outsiders.
Take a closer look at this is a slightly shabby animal skin scroll, I don't know how many years have passed in this Heavenly Consciousness Temple, the seal of the scroll is printed with an ancient family emblem, it seems that it is a kind of literature that has been specially kept by the clan.
"Huh, this is ......" Seeing this family emblem, the princess groaned slightly.
"What, is there anything wrong?" asked Yang Rui.
"This family emblem contains a pattern of a human head and a bird's body, which is said to have been worshipped as a god in the time of the ancestors. However, since the Great War, the totem worship of the undead has been replaced by the image of a snake, because it is the appearance of the ancestors after the change. The princess replied, feeling a sense of reverence for the scroll.
"Having such a family emblem seal directly indicates that this scroll has been handed down from the Taishi era. ”
Slowly pulling the scroll open, a long scroll engraved with ancient golden characters and patterns appeared in front of the two, and the dark black scroll was full of ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
Yang Rui scratched his head helplessly, it was this kind of difficult text again......
In fact, he was mentally prepared for the age of the scroll after hearing about it, and of course the documents handed down from the Taishi period like this would not be in modern writing. It's just that I don't know if what is described on this scroll is a combat skill or a high-level rune array.
The boy looked at the princess and saw that she was frowning and bowing her head to read carefully, so he did not bother, but quietly stood by and waited for the princess's reply.
After half a ring, the princess raised her head, took a deep breath, suddenly turned around and handed the scroll to Yang Rui's hand, her beautiful eyes wandered, and she stared at the young man in front of her with a strange expression and said, "This scroll seems to be reserved for you." ”
"Leave it for me!?" Yang Rui didn't believe his ears a little, he was only less than thirteen years old, and he had just started to come out to experience half a year ago, when had he ever had a relationship with the undead race in the Taishi Era?
"Is this the reward for rescuing you from the tomb?" the boy said with a smile as he took the scroll, the only reason he could think of.
At the mention of the matter in the ancient tomb, the princess's cheeks immediately turned red, and she shook her head and said, "Don't guess, it has nothing to do with that!"
"Oh, so ......"
"Alas" Seeing Yang Rui's innocent look, the princess continued helplessly: "This scroll records a history of the Great War of the Three Realms of the Divine Beasts and Men in the Taishi Period, which is even older than ancient times. ”
"At that time, the Divine Realm instigated a war between humans and alien beasts for its own selfish desires, and in that war, the Taishi humans and divine beasts were almost all wiped out, and only two of the eight major races in the Yuancang Realm escaped the disaster of the destruction of the race, and our undead human race was one of them. ”
"I think I don't want to be the ancestor of the human race, Yu Xi, whose strength at that time was already through the gods, and together with the two major divine protectors of Bai Zhen and Teng Snake, he resisted the invasion of foreign enemies, selected all kinds of five-colored stones and smelted them into colorful crystals, and cut off the four legs of the 10,000-year-old tortoise that was in trouble, and used them as four heavenly pillars to support the great array of the protector clan and isolate the natural and man-made disasters in the outside world. ”
"Although I don't know the details of the Great War, it is recorded on the scroll that the Great War lasted for three hundred years, and after that, three-fifths of the geographical environment of the Yuancang Realm became extremely harsh and no longer suitable for human habitation. In addition, the Ancient Emperor Domain and the Nine Hell Mountain Range, which were once the main battlefields, have also become extremely dangerous cursed places. ”
"After this catastrophe, there are very few survivors of the Primordial Humans. In order to make the human race develop and multiply again, the ancestors participated in a plan to reshape the human body through alchemy, and eventually exhausted the divine power until it fell. Although today's human beings are infinitely close to the first human beings in terms of physical form, their physique and lifespan are far inferior to those of the past. ”
"At the end of the scroll, it is written, 'Alien beasts are not our real enemies, and we must always be vigilant against hidden dangers!' I think the ancestors deliberately left this scroll to prevent history from repeating itself, as a warning to future generations. ”
After listening to this, Yang Rui felt that such an account was familiar, and suddenly thought of what Xuanwu said in the land of Taixu, it seems that the battle of Taishi is indeed true. When there is a chance in the future, it is worth going back there again to try the conditions proposed by Xuanwu.
"However, what does this have to do with me?" Yang Rui still asked puzzled: "And if it's just a volume of historical documents, others won't take the risk of snatching it!"
The princess approached Yang Rui, looked up and down carefully, and said with a strange expression: "It is recorded on the scroll that when Taizu was able to refine the multicolored spar and subdue Bai Zhen and Teng Snake, it was the five rounds of karmic fire that he relied on. And I learned from Uncle Nine before that there is such a karmic fire in you......"
For such a fact, the two did not know what to say for a while.
The princess sighed in her heart, she didn't expect that this little pervert actually had the same ability as Taizu! And what Yang Rui thought of was that what Zhang Lao said before that he had seen a person with five rounds of karmic fire was actually the ancestor of the undead human race!
"When the ancestor fell, Bai Ji and Teng Snake secretly sent their bodies away, and they never appeared again. And the greatest value of this scroll is that it records the method of making a spiritual contract with the two protector gods!" After a moment, the princess sighed and continued.
"Although it is not necessary to have five karmic fires like the ancestors to re-enter into a contract, the five karmic fires of the same attributes as the five karmic fires must appear at the same time, and we have not been able to find all five karmic fires for hundreds of millions of years. ”
"Without the protection of the Dharma Protector God, the undead finally ushered in that catastrophe ten thousand years ago," said ...... princess, turning her head to look at the exquisite relief frescoes, lost in thought.
What a glorious undead race they once were, but now they couldn't find a single figure in their main city. After she and Uncle Nine entered the ancient tomb, what happened here?
"So what exactly is going to be done?" Yang Rui interrupted the princess's train of thought as he spread the scroll on the ground and studied it carefully.
"You see that there are five rune patterns in the center of the scroll, and you only need to inject five karmic fires with different attributes into this rune pattern at the same time to see Bai Ji and Teng Snake, but as for what to do after that, the scroll only says the word 'Suiyuan'. The princess couldn't help but smile as she spoke, and that was the reason for her strange expression.
Could it be that the ancestor of the undead race, Yu Xi, relied on luck to subdue the two major gods? Yang Rui listened, his mouth opened widely, and then he put the scroll away, thinking to himself, it is definitely not easy here, it is better to wait for his strength to come up and try again.
Looking around again, it seems that there is no other place to search for this messy Curator's Lounge. After coming out of the lounge, Yang Rui and the princess went to the storage room and cultivation room of the Heavenly Sense Temple respectively, but apart from seeing the same mess, they didn't find anything further.
The two of them returned to the black boulder in the central hall, and looked at the signs on the boulder, and everything seemed to be back to square one.
Although the Curator's message and an important scroll were found in the Curator's Lounge, if according to the scroll, the two Protector Gods had not appeared again after the fall of the ancestors of the undead race, then the wails they had heard before had nothing to do with the scroll and the Shikigami respectively.
In other words, in this Temple of Heavenly Consciousness, in addition to the four places marked on the boulder, there should be places that have not been searched by them.
"Have you ever heard of a place called a 'shrine' here?" Yang Rui suddenly turned to the princess and asked!
