Volume 5 Sword Qi Nine Heavens 719 Southern Wilderness Puppet Emperor
"In the center of the desert, there is a ruin, a palace from an unknown number of years ago, the hall hides many broken puppets, and this bronze giant puppet is one of the most powerful, there should be many similar puppets, Brother Liu only needs to find another puppet with a complete core. As for the method of leaving the desert, I can't say it now, and I can't tell you until Brother Liu gets back the core. The chubby old man said calmly.
After Liu Ming listened, he laughed.
The chubby old man looked as usual, as if he was waiting for Liu Ming to speak.
"The seniors laughed, if you don't tell the juniors about the general method of leaving, you will never go to the ruins to find the puppet core, what if you get this puppet core back in the next, the elder doesn't tell the way to leave, and let me do other things. Besides, the relic palace that the Great Elder said must be very dangerous, otherwise the nobles would have sent someone into it a long time ago, so why should I, an outsider, take action? In short, the senior's rhetoric could not convince Zaixia, and without getting a certain amount of information about leaving, Zai Xia might not be able to agree to this matter. Liu Ming said lightly.
"Well, Brother Liu's cousin today, the old man can't treat you as an outsider anymore, so the old man will tell him more things. The fat old man thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile again.
Liu Ming naturally expressed his willingness to listen.
"This place is called a strange place in the outside world, but in the eyes of our Sand people, it is a holy place, and it is actually a treasure of the cave of powerful people thousands of years ago. Before the fall of this powerful man, this treasure was moved to the spatial rift, and every ten years passed. This treasure will break through a spatial rift and appear somewhere in the Nanban. At this time, the sand storm at the crack will be greatly weakened, and outsiders will have the possibility to enter. But that's a good time to leave, but only in a certain location. “
"We Sand Clan are actually the descendants of the retinue of that powerful man back then. The sand beasts that Brother Liu had seen before were the bloodlines left by the powerful man who raised spirit beasts back then. And the ruins that the old man just mentioned are the places where this powerful man lived during his lifetime. Although this great power has been down for tens of thousands of years, how can the ruins left by such a figure not have a few followers? Therefore, the ruins are still full of traps, and there are many puppets roaming inside and outside the temple, and anyone who approaches them will be attacked.
"Earlier, we, the ancestors of the Sand Clan, still had a way to drive and manipulate some of the wandering puppets. It can even command those sand beasts. But thousands of years have passed, and the method of driving the puppets has long been lost, and those sand beasts are even more uncontrollable under the change of bloodline, but have become a great harm to our sand people. ”
"But more importantly, our ancestors of the Sand people once made a blood oath that future generations must not step into the depths of the ruins, otherwise after all, they will suffer from the backlash of the oath, and the entire clan will be extinct. Now, the golem parts that can be found on the periphery of the ruins have long been searched for and consumed. If you want to look for it again, you can only go to the depths of the ruins or even the palace. This is also the reason why the old man can only ask Taoist friends to take a trip. As long as Brother Liu can recover the core, the old man can use the treasures in the clan. Desperately damage some vitality, and when the next ten-year period comes, I will send you away safely. ”
The fat old man had no reservations. He spoke to Liu Ming word by word, looking very sincere.
After Liu Ming heard about it. Although I didn't fully believe the other party's words, I was also very surprised.
According to the Great Elder of the Sand Clan. When he entered the treacherous desert, it was the time when the treasure of the cave heaven broke through the spatial crack and appeared in Nanban, so why shouldn't he stay in this space for ten years before leaving.
But fortunately, he still has some pills on him, and he can't really afford to wait for ten years.
"In this case, the matter mentioned by the Great Elder can be agreed to in the future, but the Great Elder must make a blood oath to ensure that after the matter is completed, he will definitely help the next person leave. Liu Ming thought about it for a moment and spoke again.
"This is the way it should be. The old man is willing to swear with the lives of the whole clan, after the deed is completed, Tu will definitely do his best to help Brother Liu leave this place, otherwise he will be killed and the clan will be wiped out. The fat old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a full mouth.
Then, he bit his finger and forced out a few drops of essence blood, and found the blood oath in front of Liu Ming.
Seeing this, Liu Ming nodded slightly, which was considered to be an agreement.
"In that case, Brother Liu should go back and rest earlier, and tomorrow I will ask Chu'er to take you to the ruins in the center of the desert, where the specific situation is, this girl is also quite clear, and she will definitely be able to help you. Seeing this, the chubby old man said with joy on his face.
"Then I'll take my leave. ”
Liu Ming got up and bowed his hand, said goodbye to the Great Elder of the Sand Clan, and turned to leave.
As soon as he returned to his dwelling, he fell asleep.
Today's battle has consumed a lot of mana and spiritual power, and tomorrow's trip may be even more dangerous, so we must hurry up to recover ourselves to the best state.
The next day, Liu Ming didn't wake up until near noon.
When he opened the curtain of the tent with sleepy eyes, he found that Sha Chu'er had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Brother Liu, you're awake. Sha Chu'er still had white sand on her face, and when she saw Liu Ming coming out, she chuckled at him and said.
"I've kept the sand girl waiting. It seems that the Great Elder has already sued Miss Chu'er, in that case, let's go. Liu Ming said undeniably.
"Good. The center of the ruins is more than hundreds of miles away from here, and Brother Liu can't escape in the sand like us sand people, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach it for a while, we will talk about the specific situation while walking. Sha Chu'er nodded and said.
Next, under the leadership of Sha Chu'er, Liu Ming left Shaman City straight and rushed to the center of the desert.
Along the way, because the two have known each other for a long time, and they fought side by side yesterday, they also talked happily.
After the two chatted casually for a while, Liu Ming asked sharply.
"Regarding the blow and the powerful man in the mouth of the Great Elder, can Miss Sha talk to Liu in detail. ”
"That powerful man, that is, the owner of this treasure of the Cave Heaven, should also know it compared to Brother Liu, it is the mysterious power that you are known as the puppet emperor of the Southern Wilderness in the outside world. It is said that this predecessor was originally born in the Tiangong Sect, one of the four great Taizong of the Zhongtian Continent, and then somehow he turned out of the Tiangong Sect and became an outcast, but after that, he made great progress in his practice, and created a large number of puppet army, relying on the power of the puppet, he once dominated the Southern Barbarians for a while. Sha Chu'er slowly explained to Liu Ming as she walked.
"And so it was. When Liu Ming heard this, he muttered to himself.
"What does Brother Liu mean by this?" Sha Chu'er was a little puzzled when she heard this.
"I know a person below, who is also a person from the Tiangong Sect, and the golden bronze man driven by it is quite similar to the cyan bronze puppet driven by the Great Elder. Liu Ming had nothing to hide, and explained.
"Brother Liu turned out to be acquainted with the people of Tiangong Sect. Actually, I am not a pure-blooded Sand Clan, my father is not from the Sand Clan, and like Brother Liu, he is an outsider who entered the Holy Land many years ago. He was originally also a disciple of a certain family in the Zhongtian Continent, and he was naturally very unwilling to be trapped here, but he later met his mother, and the two fell in love, so they got married, and since then, his father has never had the intention of leaving this place.
However, due to the restrictions on his cultivation, his father was unable to cultivate here, and after a long time, he completely became a mortal, and it didn't take long for him to sit down. Sha Chu'er said calmly, but a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
Liu Ming was a little surprised when he heard this, but when he thought about the things that this woman had frequently asked about the Eight Great Families before, he was a little surprised.
After comforting the woman immediately, he deliberately diverted the topic and asked about some ruins.
Sha Chu'er naturally knows everything.
The place where the ruins are located is not close to the oasis, and the two of them walked all the way, but fortunately they did not encounter a major sandstorm, and they encountered several sand jackals along the way, all of which were killed casually, and did not delay much.
After a day or so, the two of them came to the vicinity of a hill-like sand dune, which was no longer a pure desert, and all kinds of jagged strange rocks were planted in the ground.
"After the sand dunes, you are almost at the location of the ruins. As soon as Sha Chu'er saw this sand dune, she immediately let out a long breath and said.
Liu Ming nodded, also revealing a hint of solemnity.
At this time, he had already discovered that the closer he got to this so-called ruin, the heavier the suppression of mana by the Strange Desert, in the oasis inhabited by the Sand Clan, he could still maintain the strength of the middle stage of condensation, and after arriving here, he only had the initial cultivation
Not only that, but his divine sense was also suppressed, and he could only be a few feet away from his body.
With such a powerful prohibition, it seems that this is the place where the puppet emperor of the Southern Wilderness lives, and most of it is true.
"There will be no more sandstorms and sand beasts here, but we have to be more careful, there are quite a few golems hovering around the perimeter of the ruins, and they will attack anyone who wants to enter the ruins. Sha Chu'er's steps quickened slightly, and she took the lead towards the sand dunes.
After Liu Ming nodded, he followed.
With the bodies of the two of them, it didn't take long to climb over the sand dunes, and the scene that appeared in front of them made Liu Ming's face swoon.
"This is what you call a ruin...... It is worthy of being the place where the great power of the Mysterious Realm lived back then!"
In front of his eyes, there was a large area of huge ruins covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres, and as far as the eye could see, the ruins and broken walls were unusually eye-catching under the reflection of the yellow sky.
The mottled ancient city wall is full of traces of collapse left by the ancient years, glass-colored broken blue bricks, broken tiles made of purple jade, and broken white jade temple pillars, these old things can be seen everywhere.
It can be seen how magnificent and luxurious these buildings were back then.
