Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Strange Chess Room
When I came to this place, I always felt that there was weirdness everywhere around, as if there was a pair of invisible eyes staring at Xun Qiu and Wei Jun at all times, but the two of them had a feeling of being on their backs.
After exiting the quirky chess room, the two cautiously stepped onto the second path.
This time, compared to the stone chamber at the end of the first road, the end of the second road is a place similar to a hall, except that at the entrance of this hall, there is a beautifully carved statue, to be precise, a statue of a woman with a very beautiful appearance.
Xun Qiu and Wei Jun's gazes stopped on the figure.
The woman on this statue is very young, she is wearing a wide witch robe, I can't see how she is in shape, but her face is trimmed eyebrows and nose, and there are pear vortices on her cheeks, which is really beautiful, especially the eyes that seem to be flashing with a trace of strange brilliance, which has the finishing touch.
The most important thing is that the person who carved this sculpture is definitely the most first-class carving master in heaven and earth, even with Xun Qiu's current eyesight, he can't see any traces of polishing on the statue. It seems that this is originally a round one, and it has not been artificially carved at all.
The whole sculpture is like a woman who does not move for a while, as if she will leave at any moment.
Xun Qiu didn't know why he reached out and gently stroked the sculpture, but the tentacles of the sculpture were cold, but it unexpectedly gave him a feeling like he was caressing the skin of the human body.
Xun Qiu frowned slightly, looked at it seriously for a long time, and couldn't help but become more and more surprised. At this time, the body of the statue seemed to glow with a hazy color, as if it was really going to come back to life immediately.
"Hey, Boss, look over there!" Wei Jun's voice became a little strange.
Xun Qiu's gaze bypassed the statue in front of him, and looked towards the space behind the statue, and a large blood-colored array appeared in front of him.
"It's ...... Spirit puppet ......" Xun Qiu was suddenly stunned, there were four dark red chains connecting the surrounding four walls in the blood-colored array in front of him, and the spirit puppet trapped by the chains happened to be in the center of the blood-colored array.
Rumble!
At this time, flames suddenly ignited on the four dark red chains, and these flames spread along the chains, instantly surrounding the spirit puppets. The scorching heat spread out, and the entire hall seemed to suddenly become hot.
The next moment, white rays of light burst out from the large array and shot into the torrent of flames. As the rays entered, the torrent of flames suddenly twisted.
The moment the flames enveloped the spirit puppet's body, Xun Qiu could almost see it with his own eyes, and the latter's body began to melt in an instant.
A terrible scream rang out from the raging flames and echoed throughout the hall.
Xun Qiu's eyes looked at the rich flame without blinking, the strength of the flame, even Xun Qiu's cultivation in the Sevenfold Flying Ascension Realm now felt that it was impossible to resist. The spirit puppet in the middle was struggling frantically, and vaguely, Xun Qiu could see that the spirit puppet's body was becoming more and more twisted under the flames, as if even the flesh and blood were burned into slurry.
The terrible screams lasted for more than ten minutes, and in the raging flames, the body of the spirit puppet gradually turned into a liquid energy ball at this moment, if it weren't for Xun Qiu, who could still feel a faint energy reaction from it, I am afraid that even he would think that the spirit puppet had been completely destroyed.
Compared to a black spirit puppet, this energy ball actually showed the purest milky white, like a fire that removed all the impurities in the spirit puppet, and all that was left was the purest energy.
Thundered!
At this time, the hall trembled, as if it was about to be earthquaked, Xun Qiu and Wei Jun were shocked, and then they realized that the sculpture behind them actually came to life!
Rather than speaking, it was more accurate to move, as if some energy was moving the statue, the statue flew directly to the center of the large array, and the energy ball seemed to sense something, squirming wildly, and then winding towards the sculpture slightly.
This process lasted for a full hour, when all the milky white energy covered the statue, the entire statue was covered by a layer of milky white light cocoon, faintly, an incomparably powerful aura suddenly swept away, as if a sleeping super strong man was slowly waking up.
"This breath...... It's so powerful......" Feeling this incomparably powerful aura, Xun Qiu's pupils suddenly shrank.
At this time, the raging flame torrent seemed to be attracted, and it was frantically pouring into the milky white light cocoon, and at the same time, the energy in the blood-colored array also turned into a breath that was almost like a blood wave, continuously gathering towards the center, and finally being swallowed by the milky white light cocoon.
"To ...... It's coming out. Looking at this scene, Wei Jun stammered a little.
Not only the entire secret room, but it seemed that the entire heaven and earth were trembling like an earthquake because of that powerful energy fluctuation at this moment, and waves of astonishing energy coercion were constantly released from that milky white light cocoon.
Under the impact of such violent energy, even Xun Qiu retreated a full three feet, and he looked at this scene with a solemn face, and the horror in his heart could no longer be expressed in words.
"Absorbed the entire large array, what a powerful sum of energy......" Looking at the blood-colored arrays that had dissipated due to the absorption of all the energy, Xun Qiu couldn't help but take a light breath.
"I see, this is the so-called method of borrowing a puppet to return to the gods!" Wei Jun exclaimed as if he had thought of something.
"What kind of god should it be?" asked Xun Qiu with great puzzlement.
"Boss, what you're talking about is borrowing corpses to return souls, that doesn't have much technical content, it's just a simple manipulation of attaching the obsession before death to a living body, and this witch clan's law of borrowing puppets to return gods is different, it can even perfectly preserve the cultivation of a Da Luo Jin Immortal after thousands of years. ”
"Legend has it that when the super strong people of the Wu clan are about to die, the Wu clan will divide their energy in a strange formation and seal them separately, and their bodies will be refined into puppets, and this way of getting rid of reincarnation is against the way of heaven, so they will carve an exact same sculpture, as if it symbolizes that they have really died, commonly known as deception. ”
"What is the sky? If there is really a sky, is it so easy to deceive?" Xun Qiu sneered and asked rhetorically.
Wei Jun shook his head, "This is not something I can understand, we all know that nothing in the world can get rid of reincarnation, but it is not that there is no way to get rid of it, and this puppet is one of them." After the witch clan deceived the sky, when the time was ripe, the puppet and the statue of the deceived sky and the sealed energy would be fused back into one, and the strong man who should have died would transcend reincarnation and reappear in the world. ”
"Then you mean, what is wrapped in this light cocoon could be an ancient cowman of the Wu Clan?"
Wei Jun nodded and said, "According to the legend, it is like this, but those big people who can be qualified to get rid of reincarnation often have the means to the sky, and one formation cannot seal all their energy, so how much they can recover depends on waiting and seeing." ”
Xun Qiu remembered what the wizard said that day before, that is, together with Wei Jun, he waited in this hall, and the two of them waited for a full month.
Within a month, the milky white light cocoon had gradually faded, and a figure could be faintly seen in it. Although the figure did not move in the light cocoon, there was a terrifying energy quietly spreading in the silence.
When the thirtieth day came, Xun Qiu sat quietly in the hall, this day he did not choose to cultivate, but stared at the gradually clear figure in the light cocoon without blinking, he had a feeling that the light cocoon would be broken today, so there was a very strong curiosity in his eyes.
Rumble!
The milky white light suddenly rose, and suddenly, the figure in the light cocoon seemed to tremble slightly, and then the light cocoon turned into light chips and disappeared cleanly. And the figure hidden in the light cocoon finally appeared clearly in front of Xun Qiu and Wei Jun.
Although I heard Wei Jun talk about the so-called technique of borrowing a puppet to return to the gods before, it means that in order to deceive the sky, it is necessary to carve a sculpture that is completely consistent with the body, so the previous sculpture is what this witch power who got rid of reincarnation looked like before his death.
In the minds of normal people, these strong people who are thorough enough to get rid of reincarnation are all immortal-like characters, they often have been cultivating for more than a thousand years, and they should be very old men, but the statue before is a beautiful young woman.
Right now, when everything was revealed, Xun Qiu and Wei Jun couldn't help but be stunned.
Before this, Xun Qiu and Wei Jun had always felt that the statue was the most perfect work of art in the world, but when they really saw the living people, they found that even the works of the most powerful sculptors, even if they put a lot of effort into casting, once they met a real person, they would feel dwarfed.
The cheeks are melting, the glow reflects the Chengtang, the eyes are crystalline, and the moon reflects the cold river.
The black wizard's robe seemed to have become a beautiful dress at this time, her bare neck was as smooth as jade, her face was as beautiful as the statue, and there was more of a smart aura, and a pair of eyes as bright as the stars in the sky stared over, bright and holy, and her demeanor was incomprehensible.
Of course, in addition to her appearance and temperament, her cultivation is also quite strong, and she has actually surpassed Wei Jun of the Ninefold Flying Ascension Realm, reaching the same level as veteran powerhouses such as the Clearing Dust Dao Long Tribulation Master!
