Chapter 221: Wraith Island (2)
The island is strangely shaped, it is actually black, standing in the middle of the lake, and it is densely packed with palace-like houses, which emit a leisurely green light, reflecting the whole island eeriely, as if coming to the underworld, there is an indescribable depression.
There are also large areas of woods on the island, but these woods are not green, but black, there are not many leaves, many of the trees are bare, and from time to time flocks of crows fly by, making unpleasant sounds.
A little flat between the island and the lake, there is a small pier, at this time on the lake near the pier, there are hundreds of small boats moored there, occasionally you can see a few boats departing from the pier, rowing into the black fog, there are also boats rowing out of the black fog, docked at the pier, the lanterns on the ship are like lights in the dark, guiding the soul that comes here, and the small pier is illuminated.
Zi also pointed to the island and said, "This is Wraith Island, although the pier is small, it also has a name, called Huangquan Pier. ”
The distance between the Yellow Spring Pier and the houses on Wraith Island was a little farther, several miles, and after a few people got up to the Yellow Spring Pier, they walked into a forest under the leadership of Zi Yi.
The forest was quite large, and the trees were thigh-thick, and there were some crows squatting on it, with green eyes, looking at the few uninvited guests who walked into the woods.
There was a large road in the woods, and the rest of the place was pitch black dirt, and occasionally one or two skeletons burning with ghost fire could be seen in the dirt, which was terrifying.
Ye Feixu felt a little stunned, and asked, "This place is too infiltrating, could it be the cemetery of the Devouring Gate?"
Zi Yi asked rhetorically, "When we first met, how did you feel about that roast chicken?"
Although Ye Feixu didn't know the purpose of Zi Ye's question, he still replied: "Very good, very fragrant, do you need to say that the roast chicken roasted by me, a peerless beautiful man, must be unparalleled in the world!"
Zi Yi nodded, pointed to a skeleton not far away, and said, "Our view of corpses is the same as your opinion of roast chickens, they are like roast chickens, after their souls are extracted, the remaining bones are thrown away here." ”
Qiu Ze frowned and asked, "How many dead people are buried in this wood, and what are their identities?"
"I don't know how many dead people were buried in the forest, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands, they are from the cultivators of various sects, and most of the skeletons are left over from the great war more than three hundred years ago. Zi Yi said casually, glanced at Zhike, and said, "If you were killed by my stepfather last time, then your bones should be buried here." ”
Zhike snorted and did not speak.
As Qiu Ze walked, he observed these skeletons, and found that these skeletons were all half exposed outside, and every few dozen steps away, he would see a skeleton, which seemed to be buried according to a certain law, but for a while Qiu Ze couldn't understand this law.
After walking for a stick of incense, several people came to a fork in the road, and three identical roads appeared, but looking at the direction, they all led to the high places of the island, and they couldn't tell which one was real.
Zi Yi looked and stepped onto the road on the far left.
After walking for another stick of incense, three forks in the road appeared in front of him again, Zi Yi hesitated for a moment and walked to the middle road.
Seeing her hesitation, Ye Feixu asked, "You don't."
Did you grow up here? Why can't you even tell the road here?"
Zi Yi sneered: "Every road here leads to the Devouring Gate, but there is an ecstasy array on every road, and there are two ecstasy arrays that are opened at the same time on the three roads, and only one road is safe, if you go the wrong way and enter the ecstasy array, you can't get out of it for a lifetime! The road to safety is different every day, today is a dead end, tomorrow may be a living road, even the people of the Devouring Door don't know which one will open tomorrow, they must distinguish by themselves. ”
Ye Feixu asked again, "Oh, and such a strange ecstasy array, how many such roads are there in this woods, and how can they tell the difference?"
"There are three hundred and ninety-two seven roads, how can they be distinguished...... It is simple, too. Zi Yi threw a wink at Ye Feifu: "You lean over, I'll tell you." ”
Ye Feifu hurried over.
"You shouldn't ask, don't ask, next time, I'll kill you, get out!"
"Howler!"
Ye Fei smiled and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Zhike looked around and said in a low voice, "This ecstasy array ...... Very strong!"
Qiu Ze walked all the way, but he didn't find any ecstasy array on the road, his cultivation was still very shallow, so naturally he couldn't see anything strange, and he knew that his cultivation was profound, and he could barely see some clues.
Zi Yi said proudly: "That's natural! These ecstasy arrays are left over from ancient times, and the method of arranging the array has been lost, and each generation of Devouring Sect masters has to inject mana into it, just inject a small amount of mana, and the ecstasy array will have a strong power!"
After walking in the woods for half an hour, the men finally walked out of the woods, and along the way, they experienced a total of nine forks in the road.
Out of the woods, in front of a cliff, the cliff is bottomless, everywhere is exuding a faint green light, the stones on both sides of the cliff are also extremely peculiar, in front of several people, there is a huge stone, on the book: Devouring Door, three big characters.
Between the cliffs, there is a two-zhang wide suspension bridge used to connect the two banks, and the materials used to make the suspension bridge are all human bones!
Looking at the bone bridge, Akisawa swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling fear from the bottom of his heart, no wonder this island is called Wraith Island!
Zi Yi took a step forward and said, "Follow me, don't step on it." ”
As she spoke, Zi Yi stepped on a hole, and as soon as she stepped on it, the skeleton glowed green.
Zhike said coldly: "Follow her, there is still a formation here!"
Several people followed Zi Yi's footsteps, and wherever Zi Yi went, they walked without daring to step on the wrong step.
If Qiu Ze only thought that Wraith Island was difficult to attack before, now he already feels that it is absolutely impossible to defeat Wraith Island!
In addition to the tornadoes on the periphery, there is also a large lake that may lose its way at any time, out of the lake, there are twenty-seven ecstasy roads, even if you are lucky enough to get out of the maze road, there are still formations on this bone bridge, and it is hard to imagine what the result will be!
Several people walked cautiously on the bone bridge, and when they stepped on the ground on the other side, Ye Feixu's heart did not let go, he looked around, and when he saw his actions, Zi Yi smiled and said: "Don't look at it, there will be no more formations when you get here, as long as you don't go up."
The Bone Bridge is safe on this Wraith Mountain. ”
Ye Feixu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The Devouring Sect is really not easy to provoke! With such a defense, I'm afraid that all the sects in the Central Plains will be helpless when they come!"
Zi Yi said proudly: "That's nature, it's not unreasonable that the Devouring Sect can stand in the world for thousands of years!"
Zhike snorted coldly: "No matter how strong the defense is, what if it is? More than three hundred years ago, wasn't it beaten by Qing Yi and Qing Yun?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Feixu and Qiu Ze's faces looked better.
Zi Yi sneered: "That time, the Devouring Gate did lose, but Qing Yi hadn't been able to hit the Wraith Mountain yet! They just left countless corpses in the lake and the woods! At that time, the decisive battle was not in the Wraith Mountain, but at the Huangquan Wharf, if they dared to trespass on the Wraith Mountain, they must have lost! And if they really hit the Wraith Mountain, how could the Life Devouring Gate continue until now?"
Qiu Ze was shocked, it turned out that the great battle three hundred years ago was fought at the Huangquan Wharf, no wonder the Devouring Sect has not perished until now, according to the character of the Central Plains Sect, if there is a chance to destroy the Devouring Sect, they will definitely not show mercy!
There are very few cultivators in the Central Plains Sect who have experienced that war, including people like Zhike, who have only heard about it from their predecessors, and they have only heard of that war, but they didn't expect that there is such an insider.
Zhike Qiuze and Ye Feixu fell silent, looked forward, there was a big mountain in front of them, from Zi Yi's mouth I learned that this mountain is called Wraith Mountain, in addition to the woods, Wraith Mountain is full of houses everywhere, the construction style of these houses is completely different from the Central Plains, the shape is extremely sharp, and the edges and corners are square.
To ascend the mountain, you must walk through the gate not far away, behind which there are numerous paths, the most of which lead in all directions, the most of which leads straight to a large hall at the highest point.
The three of them followed Zi Yi to the gate, there was a stone tablet next to the gate, with words engraved on it, and the top one was: Devouring the Heavy Land, the trespasser is dead!
There were two groups of cavalry at the gate, they were dressed in thick black armor, showing only green eyes, divided into two sides, upright, motionless.
As Zi Yi stepped forward, the two groups of cavalry finally began to move, they turned around, saluted Zi Yi, and then resumed their motionless posture.
Entering the gate, there were houses on both sides, and Zi Yi explained: "The Eater Gate is highly hierarchical, and the people who live at the foot of the mountain are all junior disciples, and the higher they go, the stronger the disciples' strength becomes. ”
At this time, in the house, under the faint light, there were many disciples of the Devouring Sect who were practicing, and some stopped to salute when they saw Ziyi.
Ye Feixu raised his head and looked at Wraith Mountain, and said, "There are many houses on Wraith Mountain, how many disciples are there in the Devouring Sect?"
Zi Yi said: "There are probably a few thousand people. ”
Qiu Ze was secretly frightened, Qi Yunguan is the first sect in the Central Plains, there are many disciples under the sect, but there are only thousands of people, the Devouring Sect can exist in the world for thousands of years, and the strength must not be weak, the thousands of disciples under the sect, I am afraid that all the disciples of Qi Yunguan will not be able to defeat the Devouring Sect if all the disciples of Qi Yunguan are gathered in the Wraith Mountain! No wonder the last time the Great War, Qingyi Ancestor had to bring tens of thousands of cultivators to the decisive battle, if he only relied on Qi Yunguan, I was afraid that Qi Yunguan would have disappeared from the world for hundreds of years!
