Chapter 114: Crying
Chapter 114: Crying
The sudden blank space on this piece of paper seems a little abrupt, making people feel that the pen bearer seems to be unfinished, but for some reason he stopped writing and did not write, leaving only that large blank space, as if it was like that long and ancient history, which has long since disappeared, and only a blank has been left in the past long years.
Shen Shi stared at the three words "Ming Emperor" several times, a little puzzled, according to the previous account of this volume, shouldn't Prince Ming have died in the fire of Dongfeng Palace? Maybe this priest felt that the young prince was a little pitiful, maybe he thought of something about the Ming prince, or perhaps, he suddenly heard some secrets about the Ming prince?
For a while, many thoughts and speculations floated in Shen Shi's heart, but as a human race ten thousand years later, just relying on an unknown scroll of notes, of course he could not really understand the truth of that year. Shen Shi himself didn't have this idea, so he quickly put aside his speculation about the matter and looked at it again.
The reason why he carefully looked at this ancient demon clan sacrifice left behind was that it was accidentally mentioned that there was a secret passage hidden in this ancient temple, and from the situation he had just entered this demon clan's underground palace, it was very likely that the monster, including Zhong Qinglu, who suddenly disappeared, had something to do with this secret passage.
Because apart from this mysterious secret passage, Shen Shi really couldn't imagine where Zhong Qinglu would go in this closed passage space where the doors and windows were closed and not opened at all?
However, the temple priest back then seemed to be just casually recounting some of his daily news and royal trivia, and he did not mention this secret passage in the later text. After Emperor Wu's funeral, the second prince Cheng was on the throne, but after that cold and bloody night of wind and snow, the most important pillar in the Heavenly Demon King's court had collapsed, that is, the worship and admiration of the blood of the demon emperor, the descendant of the gods.
Even such a powerful demon emperor was killed, so in the imperial palace on Qinglong Mountain, what else is there to fear and admire?
No, not a single one.
In the years that followed, the Heavenly Demon Court fell into unprecedented turmoil, and many forces began to fight against each other, fighting for power and profit, and no one was going to respect the child on the throne, and even in the end, even the weak Demon Emperor became a means of factional struggle in the Heavenly Demon Royal Court.
The five most powerful Heavenly Demons gradually formed into their own factions, and the powerful Demon Clan was torn apart, while at the same time, the Hongmeng World was full of smoke, and the Rebel Thief Human Race was slowly rising.
As time passed, year by year, the Heavenly Demon Court gradually began to weaken, and there were more and more words about the Terran traitors, and the tone changed from disdain to worry to disappointment to shock and despair...... Until that last page.
※※※
Shen Shi still couldn't find any other information about the secret passage until the end.
He put away the notebook a little dazedly, and glanced at the empty temple and the towering statue of Pangu, only to feel a little stuffy in his heart.
All hope seemed to be cut off at this point, and the woman named Zhong Qinglu disappeared into the air so abruptly like air that she could no longer be seen.
Shen Shi bowed his head and stood in place, silent for a long, long time.
Then he turned around and walked out through the hole in the wall. Xiao Hei walked around the hall and followed.
Silence returned to the empty hall, and the tall statue stood coldly, its head tilted, as if it was still roaring at the heavens. Time seemed to freeze again, and I don't know how long it was, but suddenly, from beyond the hole, there was another sound of footsteps.
It was Shen Shi and Xiao Hei who went and returned.
Shen Shi's face was not good-looking, and his brows were furrowed, because he had found a bad thing when he had retreated from the original path, that is, in the place where he had first fallen, the hole above his head had been sealed, and the thick layer of soil could not break through at all. In other words, Shen Shi and Xiao Hei were already trapped in this deep underground at the moment, and the original idea of going out to find the help of the elders of the Lingxiao Sect Yuan Dan turned out to be unworkable so far.
There was no way back, and there was only a mysterious and unpredictable demon clan underground palace left in front of him, when Shen Shi returned to this Pangu Temple, he subconsciously glanced up at the tall god statue, and then said in his heart, Okay, at least you can explore Zhong Qinglu's traces again.
This time, he didn't stay in this Pangu Temple any longer, because in his previous efforts, he had carefully explored this place, but found nothing. So Shen Shi took Xiao Hei and quickly walked out of the main hall directly and returned to the passage outside.
Shen Shi took a deep breath and walked forward, when he came to the first fork in the road, his body paused slightly, turned his head to look at the three doors that he had opened in the fork of the road, and did not stay long, and continued to walk forward.
In the empty and far-reaching passage, everything seemed to be quiet, without any sound or breath of life, and the only thing that echoed in it was the footsteps of Shen Shi and Xiao Hei. As they continued to move forward, the road began to branch off, branch roads that extended in different directions, all of which seemed to lead to unknown places, or in a certain direction, was it the hidden truth?
Shen Shi has always been very careful, but for some reason, he has been walking for a long time, but he still hasn't met a single enemy, a legendary enemy of ghosts, monsters, beasts, etc., it seems that in this corner of this underground palace, none of them exist. And those so-called labyrinth mechanisms don't seem to have appeared.
Perhaps, because of the unique status of the Pangu Temple, there are many fewer dangers in the labyrinth in this area?
Shen Shi didn't know the reason, but of course it was a good thing for him, but as he kept moving forward, although he had been very careful, he quickly found that he couldn't remember the road clearly.
At a certain moment, Shen Shi suddenly stopped and turned back suddenly, only to find that there were countless and many roads behind him, but he could no longer find the path back. There are no demon beasts, no ghosts, and no organs, but this demon clan dungeon has already trapped him with its own ordinary silent path house.
Shen Shi's face was a little pale, but his expression was still calm, maybe he should have been able to predict such a result, after all, it was a huge dungeon left over from tens of thousands of years of seeing that powerful demon clan, how could it be so simple.
He stood there and pondered for a while, then called Xiao Hei, and continued to walk forward, only this time he had only walked three or four paces away, and suddenly his body shook and stopped, and he listened intently, and heard a soft cry somewhere in front of him:
"Boom Boom ......"
