Chapter 15: The Mysterious Void on the Altar
Just as Yan Leizi and the others were about to leave after discussion, Tian Ze and Zhao Wang Meng were also close to the surroundings of the cabin, and the two saw someone coming out of the cabin in the distance, so they quickly burrowed into a dense field of aquatic grass.
"Huh? It turned out to be him, and the others were a little familiar, a little tired. Zhao Wangmeng muttered in some surprise.
Tian Ze asked suspiciously, "Brother Zhao, who are you talking about?"
Zhao Wang Meng said in a loud voice: "Look ahead, the gold-armored man next to the chariot is Luo Cheng, the county guard of Chizhang, and the man in red and long hair next to him is Yan Leizi, the owner of the Tushi Xuanhuo Palace. ”
Tian Ze poked his head out and wanted to look more carefully, but was grabbed by Zhao Wangmeng, pointed to the charm on his body, and said softly: "Brother Tianze, don't die, this talisman is not foolproof, if you get closer, you may be detected, a few people over there have cultivated to the peak, so secret should be a plot to do something unseemly, if you and I find you peeping, you must not kill people." Hide your body and don't move. ”
Except for Yan Leizi, the other four have left, and Yan Leizi and Luo Cheng have also gone to the treasure chariot to prepare to go back.
Yan Leizi sat in the chariot, and after a while, he lifted the curtain and looked into the distance, and suddenly pushed out a palm, and a translucent palm print surrounded by red flames rose and fell in a water and grass area more than 30 meters away from Tianze and Zhao Wangmeng.
A large area of the originally moist and rich aquatic plants was instantly evaporated and dried up, turning into black and gray dust and floating in the air, and the ground was branded with a ten-zhang square open space and "swishing" with water vapor, and this muddy land dried up under the high temperature, and cracks were everywhere.
Seeing this, Luo Cheng asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Yan Leizi said with some hesitation: "It's just a temptation or two, it's strange, there is always a feeling of being spied on." ”
Luo Cheng also poked his head out and looked around, and said after a while: "I didn't sense any signs of Yuan Force fluctuations, maybe it's some swamp beasts, and the time of the master is not too early, let's go." ”
Yan Leizi nodded in acquiescence, and Luo Cheng motioned for the black-armored guards to ride the Purple Flame Horse and set off back.
"Uh, it's so dangerous, I said Brother Zhao, if that palm just now is solid, we will all be charcoal, this Yan Leizi seems to be not far from the legendary realm of becoming an immortal. ”
Tian Ze still had some palpitations when he looked at the huge ash area on the ground.
Zhao Wangmeng had a calm and calm expression, and said: "The power is enough, but the fire is not pure, and the Dao fruit is difficult to prove." ”
Tian Ze didn't understand what Zhao Wangmeng meant, this quagmire was wet and stuffy, and there were many mosquitoes, so he urged him to go back.
When the two went back, they were covered in mud, and Zhao Wangmeng said that in order to prevent entering through the north gate, the captain of Jinjia was suspicious, so he found a river pond to clean it a little and change the south gate to enter the county.
The hungry two arrived at the Hongyun Building, where they met before, and they went to rub together again, and it was almost dusk after eating and drinking.
Zhao Wangmeng wiped the greasy corners of his mouth and said to Tianze: "Brother Tianze, I think this city ban will end soon, and the Bounty Alliance will be stationed in two days, and when you get there, you can familiarize yourself with the process first, and you will be familiar with the road after two times, and the eldest brother will leave first if there is something to do, and we will meet again." With that, he clenched his fists and got up and left.
Tian Ze still sat silently, remembering the care of the Asumasu Witch in the clan when he first went down the mountain: "Child, go down the mountain to practice, and when your witchcraft awakens, you will return to the Witch Ancestral Altar to accept the inheritance, and one of my clans will definitely rise again!"
Here, after Zhao Wangmeng left the restaurant, he returned to the Bounty Alliance station, "Bang... Knock knock... Boom... "Knock" arrived at the door, and knocked on the wooden door five times rhythmically.
A deep voice came from inside the door: "Who is coming?" Zhao Wangmeng replied in a low voice: "There is chaos first, and then there is heaven, and the Void Venerable Spirits are still ahead. ”
The person behind the door lifted the two door panels and bowed sideways to invite Zhao Wangmeng to enter, and the person who opened the door was a thin middle-aged man, dressed in a linen green shirt, with dark and deep eyes, a slightly hooked nose, and a dark face with sharp edges and corners.
Zhao Wangmeng followed him into the hall, the welcome door is a row of long counters with wooden bars, dealing with the application for alliance membership, the conclusion of the task contract and the settlement of remuneration and other affairs on weekdays, the left side of the wall hangs a variety of task bamboo slips, the task grade from simple to complex is divided by the color of the bamboo slip seal, divided into yellow, green, blue, blue and purple five colors, purple is an extremely dangerous level task, generally rarely appears.
On the right side of the wall, there are portraits of various bounty tickets, which are usually the objects of bounty capture or killing.
Zhao Wangmeng followed the middle-aged man into the counter, passed through a walkway, passed several forks and reached the door of a seemingly ordinary wing room in the depths, the middle-aged man waited outside the door, and Zhao Wangmeng entered it alone.
There is a large rosewood bed with a gauze tent hanging down, a round table and two wooden stools, and a bronze candlestick hanging on the wall to the right hand of the entrance.
Zhao Wangmeng raised his hand and turned the candlestick to the left, parallel to the ground. Listening to the sound of "click" coming from the shelf bed, Zhao Wangmeng walked to the shelf bed and lifted the gauze tent, only to see that the shelf bed board turned into two pieces and fell downward, forming a deep and secluded downward passage, and there were stairs for footholding.
Zhao Wang Meng lit the fire, leaned down into the narrow passage, and walked down for about twenty zhang distance, and saw a slight purple light at the end of the passage in front of him.
Out of the passage is a very open flat land, about 1,000 feet square. Straight up the staircase is an altar-like place, and a faint purple glow emanates from the purple fireworks lit by oil lamps on the left and right sides of the staircase, and at the end of the staircase, the entire altar can be seen in its entirety.
The whole altar is divided into three layers of stacks from top to bottom, the three-layer altar base is made of large pieces of bluestone, shale and quartzite from top to bottom, and the three colors of blue, yellow and green are like heaven, earth and all things.
Zhao Wang Meng stepped on the altar on the top floor step by step, and all kinds of quaint runes on the top altar base were painted on the blue rock, and they were circular under the overlook.
The whole underground space is a thousand feet as the potential, and the altar structure is in the shape of a hundred feet, which proves that the sky is round and the place is said to be like the sky, the earth and all things, and the thing that is respected together is a humanoid statue of 100 zhang high in the middle of the altar.
There are layers of black gas around the statue, and it is not true to see the appearance of its carving, and there is a deep loneliness in the shape of its god.
Zhao Wangmeng stepped forward, saluted the statue three times, and recited a few words silently, and after waiting for a while, two dark purple flames appeared on the head of the statue, as if its eyes had been opened.
I only heard a leisurely voice: "Disturb my tranquility, what's the matter?"
Zhao Wang Meng hugged his fists and bowed slightly, and replied: "Lord Void Envoy, my subordinates have discovered the descendants of the Heavenly Witch Lineage, and recently discovered that Yan Leizi of the Burning Domain Realm has met with several other old guys, and it seems that he is secretly planning something..."
The two purple flames on the head of the statue fluctuated visibly after hearing this, and then heard the sound again: "Oh, this person is very important to our clan, and I will try my best to win him over, and remember to protect his safety." And who will the Yan Leizi meet, you tell me carefully. ”
Zhao Wang Meng elaborated on the situation of encountering Yan Leizi and others.
The statue was silent for a moment after Zhao Wangmeng finished speaking, and then it was rumored: "Hmm... You secretly sent someone to the Heavenly Sword Peak at the northwest extreme of the Ice Domain Realm, and informed Feng Lingtian to let him pay attention to his junior brother. ”
Zhao Wang Meng pondered for a while and asked: "Lord Void Envoy, this Feng Lingtian is just a chess piece, although it has obtained a volume of mixed yuan, but what is the use of the innate mixed yuan body that will not come out of the eternal life for our clan?"
The hypocrisy said, "Just act, the rest is not for you to ask, stand down!"
After saying that, the purple flame in the eye of the statue flashed out, and Zhao Wang Meng retreated.
