"Maybe you've already guessed who she is, yes, she's the woman King Po Sa's favorite - Weiyang Hua!" The black-robed old man stared at the statue of the goddess with a solemn expression, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes, as if something was clicking in his throat, making his voice hoarse to the extreme. "The people of the country used to worship her as the mother of the sacred tree, but ...... She eventually left the place and took the Storm Tree with her. ”

The demeanor of this statue is very solemn, and the beautiful appearance does not lose the benevolent eyes, looking at the posture of her hand holding the sacred tree, which is the method of purifying all beings in Buddhism. On the whole, it feels as if she was born to protect the people of the country from the invasion of wind and sand, which is completely different from the description of the old man in the black robe.

Perhaps this kindness embodied in the statue is just the expectation of the people of Po Sa.

Or maybe something happened in between.

The ancient truth buried in the vast years, after the annual rings of history have passed for thousands of years, who knows who sprinkled the seeds of sin in the red dust back then. What made Chu Yunchuan feel incomprehensible was that the ancient country was an extinct race, and it stands to reason that there should be no living creatures here, and the identity of the black-robed old man in front of him was really incredible, he seemed to know a lot of truths.

"Who is the senior?" In the face of such an incomprehensible mysterious existence, this "senior" can be regarded as politeness, but also there is awe; in more than a thousand years of ups and downs, this kind of thing has appeared for the first time in Chu Yunchuan's life.

The black-robed old man didn't seem to hear Chu Yunchuan's question, but just stared at the goddess statue with hatred.

The statue of the god from ancient times, after thousands of years, except for a layer of dust on the body, there is not the slightest damage on the body, especially the strange sacred tree she is holding in her hand, there is a faint spiritual light, if you don't pay special attention, it is difficult to capture its mysterious changes.

When he noticed the subtle movement in the Qiankun bag, Chu Yunchuan was taken aback, the reason why the divine tree was faintly transparent was that it had established a resonance with the stump of the wind tree. Recall that the reason why I was able to find this place far away was because of this resonant message.

Just when Chu Yunchuan was shocked, the black-robed old man seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly turned his head to look back, with a mysterious smile hooked on the corner of his mouth, which was incomprehensible.

"Does the senior have anything to say?" Chu Yunchuan subconsciously prepared to escape, he was sure that if the other party wanted to seize the stump of his Po Sao Storm Tree, even if he sacrificed the Ten Thousand Beasts Ding and the Frightened Bow together, he would only be buried with him, and he would not be the opponent of this old man at all.

What made Chu Yunchuan feel relieved was that although the expression of the black-robed old man was extremely evil, giving people the feeling that he was not a good person, he did not make a move.

"I'll show you something good. ”

The black-robed old man threw the broken gong and mallet in his hand, and walked around the statue of the goddess to the back of the sacrificial hall.

In this dilemma, Chu Yunchuan stubbornly followed.

Behind the idol is a stone wall.

The black-robed old man stretched out a thin finger and drew straight lines on the hard wall with his jet-black shiny fingernails, and where the fingertips crossed, sparks flew everywhere, leaving a bright cutting gap behind it. The translucent slit runs along the magical black nails, and finally forms a rectangular stone door.

After finishing the last stroke, the black-robed old man blew lightly, and the stone door that had been cut out fell with a bang, and the dust was stirred.

"Come in. The black-robed old man beckoned to Chu Yunchuan, and said, "When you asked me who I am before, that question was very naïve and superficial, because my identities are so many that even I have forgotten what I do, just like in this Treasure Pavilion, I am their guardian." ”

It was a bright chamber, not very large, but more than one floor, with a dilapidated staircase in the corner, and the blinding light was created by the circle in the center of the chamber.

Beams of light shot straight out from the periphery of the circle, and beams of light, which looked as sharp as swords, formed a cage-like cylinder with the array as the center, and closed to the top of the secret room. After the black-robed old man walked into the center of the circle, he shouted, "Come with me, you will soon find what you are looking for." Immediately, the person disappeared into the circle with a flash of light.

It turned out to be a teleportation circle.

Chu Yunchuan had never seen this kind of magic formation, but it could be seen from the ancient patterns in the formation that this should be a mysterious formation that was lost in ancient times, at least ten thousand years old.

Chu Yunchuan instinctively realized that this teleportation circle was not intended for the living, because the human body could not withstand the cutting of those cold sword-like beams of light around him, this was a magic circle specially prepared for the black-robed old man.

Does this circle lead to the upper level of the secret room?

Chu Yunchuan walked to the staircase and tried to step on the corridor with his feet to see if it was strong enough. Before he stepped on his feet, he suddenly seemed to have a mysterious force pushing behind him, and the whole person immediately stepped on it involuntarily, and he couldn't hold it back.

After only going up two or three steps, there was a loud bang, and out of nowhere, a white skeleton hand flew in, and it grabbed the corridor at Chu Yunchuan's heels, and the floor instantly turned into a strange wisp of black smoke. Chu Yunchuan's reaction was also very fast, he took a breath of origin qi, quickly lifted his body in the air, borrowed a wisp of strong wind, and flew down on the staircase on the second floor.

Almost at the same time, the roar behind him continued to sound, and the skeletal hands all grabbed the corridor, just in the blink of an eye, the corridor had been bombarded without a trace, leaving only a thick black smoke steaming, emitting a pungent rancid smell.

Chu Yunchuan didn't look back, walked forward calmly, and sure enough, he saw the old man in the black robe on the second floor.

"You are too suspicious, you ruined my building!"

"I'm sorry. ”

Chu Yunchuan swept around, and the second floor was empty and empty.

There was only one brazier, with a strange shape, like a tortoise whose shell had been pried open, with the feet of the pot resembling limbs, and the guī head sticking out like the long handle of the brazier.

Chu Yunchuan sensed a powerful aura of incineration, and felt that a little spark flying out of the brazier could burn people to ashes, but that scroll was blooming with a mysterious light in the incineration, and there seemed to be a huge heavenly opportunity hidden in the scroll, which inadvertently made Chu Yunchuan reveal his greed to take it for himself.

"What kind of treasure is this scroll?"

"This is what you're looking for—the Immortal Scroll! With it, not only can you recreate the Derivative Realm, but you can also reshape it and win Eternal Life!" As he spoke, the black-robed old man suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Yunchuan, his eyes revealing a glimmer of essence, and added, "However, there is no free lunch in the world. ”

"What are the conditions for seniors?" Chu Yunchuan was not surprised.

"In exchange for the stump of your Storm Tree. ”

“......！！！”

"You don't have to look at me so unwillingly, you are still alive to stand here and talk to me about the deal, you should feel lucky, if you die, what is the use of having more treasures on your body?"

"I am reluctant to stump the stumps of the Storm Tree, but how can I be sure that this is the true Immortal Scroll, and how do I know if the scroll really records the method of recreating the Derivative Realm?"

"No, I can't let you look at the Immortal Scroll before you take out the stump of the Storm Tree, you don't have a choice. The body of the black-robed old man suddenly floated in front of Chu Yunchuan like a ghost, only half an inch away from each other, he bent his hunchback and sniffed at Chu Yunchuan's body for a while, then looked up at him, and said with an evil smile: "Do you remember the coffin that made your bones cold? You must not drive yourself into a corner, you must know that your immortal body has a great temptation for those who have been hungry for thousands of years." ”

"Really?" Chu Yunchuan tried to calm himself down, and said with a light smile: "I think, I already know who you are, so it's useless for you to threaten me." ”

"......!!!" The black-robed old man's face suddenly changed in shock, he took two steps back, and said, "Impossible! I don't even know who I am, how can you know!"

"Crazy, hehe, you think you're crazy. Chu Yunchuan walked straight to the brazier, looked at the Immortal Scroll suspended on the flames, and said, "If I die, you will never get the stump of the Storm Tree, and you will never be able to fulfill your long-cherished wish. ”

"Hmph, if you threaten me, you will definitely regret it!"

The black-robed old man stretched out his dry fingers, and the tips of his black shiny nails shot out a little mysterious light, flying into the scroll, and then, a ray of golden light was reflected from the scroll, which followed Chu Yunchuan's eyebrows. In an instant, Chu Yunchuan frowned slightly, and an incredible expression appeared.

The golden light entered the center of his eyebrows, and Chu Yunchuan's mind had a mysterious and unpredictable message. The scroll unfolds in the divine consciousness, the ancient breath hits the face, giving people a sense of sacredness in the dark, the theme of the prologue is eternal life, and the text also mentions the secret of heaven such as reenactment of the flood and reshaping.

Just as Chu Yunchuan was about to take a closer look, the black-robed old man suddenly waved his fingers to cut off the golden light, and said, "The gentleman keeps his promise and hands over the stump of the Storm Tree, and you can leave with the Immortal Scroll." ”

There is no security guarantee for such a transaction, after all, once the treasure is out of hand, the other party can regret it at any time.

After hesitating, Chu Yunchuan said: "I must ensure that I can leave the ancient country safely, if you are sincere, sign a soul contract with me and bind your fate." Tomorrow before dark, either side falls, and everyone dies together! Of course, I hope that there will be no such accidents. ”

"You are so treacherous!" the black-robed old man smiled secretly, then cut his finger, and a drop of black blood flowed out, condensing in the air, and said, "I hope that before you leave the ancient country, I will not be involved in dying with you." ”
