Chapter 0028: Altar Seal
Hearing Xia Zhi's question, Hai Cang was stunned for a moment, and then two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, looking at its grateful appearance, Hu Jian couldn't help but feel compassion.
"Oh, I said that you are really the summer solstice, you have imprisoned people in this place where birds don't for more than 100,000 years, how sad these days are, so you should have given someone a beautiful female octopus in the first place......"
"Thank you to the master for being so concerned about Haicang, Haicang has just visited the master's body, Haicang doesn't know what the master has experienced that has caused the loss of cultivation, but with the master's current cultivation, I'm afraid that I can't lift the seal for Haicang......"
"So the master takes the treasure by himself, and when the master recovers his strength one day, he will come to lift the seal for Haicang, and Haicang is still here to guard this world for the master, master, Haicang will send you down. ”
"That's fine, when I have the strength to lift the seal for you, I will definitely come here as soon as possible, so I will wronged you. ”
Haicang did not feel wronged, the master went down and entered the main hall, there is an altar in the center of the main hall, there is a colorful stone in the center of the altar, the master only needs to drop the blood on the colorful stone, you can break the seal, take out the strange treasure in the altar. ”
Haicang overflowed two more lines of tears, put down his wrists and feet in a reluctant gaze, passed through the clouds, and put the two of them on the square in front of the palace.
With his feet on the ground, Hu Jian's heart finally returned to his stomach, and he raised his head and shouted loudly above the clouds.
"Thank you, Squidward, don't worry, you're ...... The fish is so good, you Brother Jian, I will definitely urge Xia Solstice to come back early and return your freedom!"
"Master, go in and take away the treasure, Haicang's body can't enter, and he can't accompany the master to go in. ”
Xia Zhi didn't answer, and walked straight up the vermilion steps towards the gate of the main hall.
"Hey, you're waiting for me, the slave who received a cow batch dares to make a score with your sword brother and me, right?"
The gate of the palace is closed, in front of the tall hall gate, the two of them are as small as two ants, no wonder Xia Zhi felt that this palace was a little weird before, it turned out that it was not for people to live, but to put an altar.
Hu Jian pushed the door of the temple with all his might, but he didn't move at all.
"Damn! What is this thing made of? I can't push it! Summer Solstice is here to give me a hand!"
Xia Zhi looked back, Haicang's wrist and foot had disappeared, thinking that he had probably returned to the clouds, Xia Zhi walked to the temple door and stretched out a palm against the temple door.
I saw that the door of the temple suddenly burst out of a piece of brilliance, and then the temple door about two meters square around Xia Zhi's palm suddenly began to slowly fade, until it finally disappeared into invisible, Xia Zhi pulled a Hu sword, and stepped in from the disappearing palace door.
An ancient and desolate aura rushed to the face, and when the summer solstice looked up, the hall was very empty, and there was nothing around, only a tall altar stood in the center.
The altar is in the shape of an eight-sided pyramid, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, cut from a single boulder, and the surface of the altar is carved with simple and atmospheric patterns, which are still emitting a faint golden light.
There is a stone step on the front of the altar that leads to the top of the altar, presumably that is where the multicolored stone that Haicang said is located, and it is also where Haicang said that the seal of the strange treasure is lifted.
"Tsk, it's magnificent! This altar is so magnificent, what kind of treasure should it be suppressed? Summer Solstice, hurry up and lift the seal and take out that treasure." ”
Xia Solstice did not rush to step on the altar, but slowly circled around the altar, observing the patterns on the surface of the altar that emitted golden light.
There are eight sides to the altar, each with a different pattern, but one thing in common is that the pattern of each side originates from the top of the altar and then disappears from the bottom of the altar.
Except for the front of the altar with stone steps, the lines on the other seven sides were flowing with golden light, as if something was transporting a steady stream of energy.
Xia Zhi frowned thoughtfully, hesitated, and said to Hu Jian.
"Actually, I suspected that the big octopus was lying to us for a long time, and now it seems that this possibility is a little more likely. ”
"Nani? Lie to us? Why? It's not your slave, aren't you its master?"
Xia Solstice rolled her eyes.
"Do you believe that, if it doesn't say that, how can it trick us into coming in here and help it break the seal?"
"What? Help it break the seal? Isn't it to lift the seal on the strange treasure that has been suppressed by this altar?"
"There's nothing strange at all! This altar is the big octopus itself! Once we really break the seal, the big octopus will be free. ”
"Damn, isn't it? That bastard is so insidious? Huh? No, we heard the sound of chains dragging before, which proves that the big octopus is chained, what is the matter with this altar?"
"How big is that big octopus?"
"Didn't you see, the size of a hill. ”
"And how big is one of its brachiopods?"
"Well, the diameter at the end should be three or four meters, of course, the higher you go, the thicker it gets, and the thickest part should be ten meters?
"We don't care how many meters in diameter it is at its thickest point, how thick chains do you think it takes to lock such a behemoth? Also, don't you know that an octopus has the ability to break its feet and be reborn?"
Hu Jian thought about it very seriously, and then suddenly realized.
"I see! The strange treasure suppressed under this altar must be a peerless divine weapon, the kind that slays the dragon in the sky, that big octopus must be trying to trick you into getting this peerless divine weapon out, and then it uses this divine weapon to cut off the chains that lock it!"
“......”
When facing Hu Jian's goods, Xia Zhi sometimes couldn't help but have the perverted impulse of a chainsaw murderer, and he wanted to open his brain to see if it was filled with a lump of old shit, fermented with probiotics.
Seeing that Hu Jian couldn't communicate at the logical level at all, Xia Zhi had to find the first snow.
"First snow!
"What are you doing? Can you still let this divine beast sleep happily? Recently, I haven't had enough sleep, and my coat color has deteriorated. ”
Hatsuyuki yawned and appeared in front of the two, turning her head to look around with a surprised expression.
"You actually entered the main hall? The octopus fell asleep? No, wasn't that beast still tossing and struggling before?"
"Of course the big octopus didn't fall asleep, we fought with it, and under the heroic wisdom of your sword brother and me, we found its pain points......"
"Shut up! I don't believe a word of what you said, let Xia Zhi say it. ”
Chu Xue glanced at Hu Jian and interrupted him mercilessly.
"Oh, I'll go! you...... If it had been put in the past, just what you said just now, with your sword brother and me's violent temper, you will be cut in minutes, do you believe it? cough cough ...... But now that you Brother Jian and I have cultivated ourselves and changed my temper, who is it, you can say it on the summer solstice. ”
Seeing Chu Xue's cold gaze, Hu Jian wisely and timely changed the central idea of his words.
"Brother Cheap is right, we did have a fight with the big octopus, and then we were carried by it above the clouds, and it suddenly said that I was its owner......"
Xia Zhi told Chu Xue what had just happened, and finally asked.
"I suspect that this altar is actually suppressing the big octopus, and there is no treasure at all, what do you think?"
Hatsuyuki nodded approvingly.
"You guessed it right, this altar is to suppress that octopus, fortunately you didn't believe the beast's words and use blood to unlock the seal of the altar, once that beast gets out of trouble, not only you, but the entire small world will be shattered by it......"
"If the small world can't trap it anymore and let him enter the world of the larger plane, it will be a catastrophe, this divine beast didn't expect you to enter the main hall before, and it didn't remind you, but fortunately, you are finally smart this time. ”
“......”
"This altar has eight faces, in addition to the multicolored stone that serves as the eye of the array, each side also has a spirit treasure to provide energy for the sealing array, and these energies are transmitted through the carved lines on the altar to the chain that locks the wrists and feet of the eight-clawed monster, and then transmitted to it through the chain......"
"These energies can keep the octopus alive and allow it to survive for a long time, but it can also seal its supernatural powers, so that it can't break free from the seal at all, otherwise the beast would have broken the sky in the past 100,000 years. ”
The summer solstice is a little puzzled, and it has to be sealed and let it survive for a long time, is this a pet?
Chu Xue seemed to see Xia Zhi's doubts, and continued after a little hesitation.
"This beast must be useful, but what is the specific use of this divine beast is not very clear, in short, let it continue to be sealed here, let you come in is an experience, not a troublemaker, once the beast is out of trouble, no one can control it." ”
"Why was my bloodline able to break the seal?"
Xia Zhi finally asked this question that had puzzled him for a long time, since the big octopus was desperate to get out of trouble, he definitely had no reason to deceive himself in this matter, but why could his bloodline be unsealed?
"Nonsense! This altar and seal were used for you back then...... Of course you will be able to break the seal, okay, there is no problem, this divine beast is going back to sleep and sleep. ”
"Wait, there's another question, shouldn't the big octopus have all eight brachiopods locked? Why is there still one left hanging around outside? And there is also a side of this altar that has no light, is this a disrepair? Shall we find a way to remedy it?"
"Hmm...... This thing hanging around outside actually has something to do with you......"
A rare look of embarrassment appeared on Chu Xue's face, but she quickly returned to normal and said confidently.
"Do you remember the Golden Lotus you ate at the beginning? In order to transform your waste body, this divine beast came to take away the spirit treasure, which caused the chain to lose its energy supply, and let the beast free one of its wrists and feet, causing this divine beast to almost ......"
"That's it, you don't need to mention the past, you just have to remember that it's all your sake!"
“......”
