Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Shadow of Calamity
The empty shadow in front of him walked to another door, and the two tall stone doors automatically opened back in unison, like a long-awaited servant welcoming its master.
The empty shadow is still moving forward step by step, revealing a graceful posture as he walks, revealing an alluring smell.
The previous room was full of weapons, and this room had many stone platforms three or four feet high, and on each stone platform was a stone box that was boxy, five or six feet high, and seven or eight feet long and wide.
For the height of Cheng Miao and Empty Shadow, these stone boxes are simply as big as sarcophagi.
When the shadow stepped into the house, the stone box opened by itself, like a flower blooming and a river mussel opening its shell.
As soon as the stone box was opened, all the light came out of the box, and the stone room was filled with all kinds of dazzling and non-dazzling light for a moment, exuding brilliance from the inside, as if the sun, moon and stars were treasured in the stone box.
After the light, all kinds of strange fragrances wafted in, and the smell of it was already refreshing, as if the pores of the whole body were opened, and the whole body was breathing, fluttering like a fairy.
The items in the stone box flew out, all of which were treasured all kinds of strange flowers and plants, heavenly and earthly treasures, all of which flew into the Sumeru Ring of the Empty Shadow.
Cheng Miao was not only extremely envious in his heart, but also incredibly surprised, he was amazed that these medicinal herbs and precious fruits had not been stored in the stone box for a long time, and the aura inside had not overflowed!
From the mural and the huge stone chamber, he could barely guess that this should be the ruins of the Ancient Giant Spirit Clan, and the Ancient Giant Spirit Clan's words according to the empty shadow were hundreds of thousands of years away from now!
The eyebrows under the empty shadow hat were crooked, and she smiled again, but unfortunately Cheng Miao couldn't see through the hat at all, and she couldn't see her smiling and smiling appearance.
She said softly: "You should probably be able to guess that this ruin stone chamber is the site of the ancient giant spirit clan, aren't you curious why the medicinal herbs they left behind hundreds of thousands of years ago can be preserved to the present, why can they do it to the extent that they can't do it in this world?"
Cheng Miao hurriedly nodded and said yes.
He was indeed very curious that the technology preserved by the Djinn Clan hundreds of thousands of years ago was so advanced that it was slightly better than reality.
Even if the Sumeru vow is preserved in this world, the Sumeru vow will have a slow time, and no matter how slow the time is, it will become extremely long under the time span of hundreds of thousands of years, and even if the Sumeru vow is used, it will definitely not be preserved to this point.
The empty shadow suddenly stopped, and said with a little emotion: "First, because the technology of the ancient giant spirit clan is not bad, and second, because the stone box material is special, this kind of material no longer exists in the present world. ”
She continued to take a step forward, and then said in a low tone, "Just as the meteorite destroyed the Djinn Clan, even though there are still some powerful Djinn who have survived, their civilization and technology have been forgotten, and they can only get a glimpse of it from this ancient ruins. ”
Cheng Miao seems to have been pointed out, he thinks that things are always moving forward, that the current world must be far beyond the past, that the past always represents ignorance, ignorance and backwardness.
Now that the living example of the Ancient Giant Spirit Clan is in front of me, I can't help but wonder if the Ancient Giant Spirit Clan has developed so far, and its strength will far exceed that of today's world? If such a meteorite suddenly arrives in the current world, will the current world be able to leave ruins and inheritance?
Could it be that after such a meteorite in the current world, the level of civilization technology has greatly regressed, and even the future generations will not be as good as the current world?
After a series of reveries, he questioned his initial thoughts.
Maybe... The power of the past is far greater than that of today, and everything is destroyed in an incomparably vast disaster, and then a new cycle begins?
The empty shadow asked again and again, "Do you think the ancient law or the current law is stronger?"
Cheng Miao's heart collapsed, he seemed to have seen the scene of the past being strong, and he no longer dared to assert that this world was stronger than the past.
He sneered, "No... I don't know. ”
The empty shadow shook his head in disappointment and said directly: "Too many ancient methods have been lost in the catastrophe... The law of this world is not as good as in the past, and it is far away!"
"The cultivation world in this world is just another reincarnation after the catastrophe, and the exercises are not as good as in the past, and the treasures and cultivation resources are not as good as in the past. ”
Complicated information continued to pour into Cheng Miao's mind from his ears, the ancient giant spirit clan had stronger exercises, more abundant resources, a prosperous era far beyond today, everything was destroyed and instantaneous, what a huge disaster was this? Maybe the cultivation world in this world could not resist such a calamity!
The invisible giant hand patted Cheng Miao, who was a little distracted, and the empty shadow in front of him walked out of the stone room where all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures were hidden again, returned to the hall, and walked in another direction.
Cheng Miao hurriedly followed, this time he didn't deliberately walk behind slowly, so the invisible giant hand didn't mention him.
The empty shadow who walked in front said lightly: "The ancient world's cultivation method is strong, and the cultivation resources are abundant, but it is still unable to resist the invasion of natural disasters, and it is finally buried in the dust of history and drowned in the long river of time. ”
"The Dharma of this world and the cultivation resources of this life are far inferior to those of the past, if calamity comes, what should the cultivation of this life be?"
Cheng Miao's heart shook even more, and he asked in a lost voice: "Will such a disaster come again?"
The Shadow shook his head and said, "Calamity doesn't have to be a meteorite. ”
Then she said something that made Cheng Miao even more amazed.
"There should have been an era before the djinn that was stronger than the djinn, but not much evidence about this era has been found, only vague speculation that this era was destroyed for some unknown reason, called the first calamity. ”
"This meteorite is the second calamity, called the world, the third calamity burning the sky, and the fourth calamity of the cold hell..."
"The intensity of the Burning Sky and the Cold Hell is far less than that of the Fallen World, although it lasted for a long time, but there were still many monks who survived, so there are many records of the two periods of the Burning Sky and the Cold Hell, which are called the periods of the Dark Ages. ”
"It is precisely because of the burning of the sky and the cold hell that the cultivation environment is extremely harsh, and the growth rate of the ancient method is slow, while the practice method of the current world method of rapid cultivation can shine. ”
Every word, every word spit out of the empty shadow's mouth, as if with magical power, spread out a huge picture scroll in front of Cheng Miao's eyes, and the picture scroll described a magnificent, desirable, and terrifying world.
Cheng Miao said blankly: "The catastrophe that destroys the world and destroys the world?"
He seemed to see the meteorite coming from the sky, and under the mighty divine power that destroyed the world and the earth, everything would turn into nothingness!
When he thought of this, instead of feeling any fear, he felt a strange sense of relief.
He was surprisingly calm in his heart, and felt that this was good, everything was settled in the disaster, and he no longer had to chase power with strong self-reproach and remorse, and the one that he loved and hated, who had sworn to accompany him for the rest of his life, and now vowed to take off the head with his own hands, and would also be reduced to ashes in the catastrophe with him...
Perhaps, this is the best ending.
The empty shadow didn't give him time to be immersed in negativity, and after she saw Cheng Miao blank and empty-eyed, she hurriedly patted him again.
Then the empty shadow said again, "With the strength of the Dharma of this world, it is absolutely impossible to survive the next calamity, so the ancient Dharma will definitely return. ”
Cheng Miao was still immersed in negative emotions, and said listlessly: "That's something you big people should think about, at that time, I would have died and turned into loess!"
Cheng Miao didn't know that it was that sentence that stimulated the empty shadow, she actually stopped, turned her head sharply, and stared at Cheng Miao.
Through the hat, her hat was hung with a layer of black yarn that Cheng Miao couldn't see clearly, but he could still feel the empty shadow's eyes, staring at him deadly.
Suddenly, she said inexplicably, "You won't die!"
This series of strange behaviors made Cheng Miao even more confused, but the aura she unintentionally released made him feel a strong sense of crisis, as if standing in front of him was a ferocious giant beast, which made people shudder.
She also seemed to realize her gaffe, and quickly put away the overflowing qi.
She said leisurely: "The Nine Clan's Creation Weapon simultaneously fills the spiritual energy level to the maximum, and then self-detonates in the right place to release the spiritual energy, which is enough to cause the reaction of Cangze Heaven and Earth, and with the help of the power of Heaven and Earth, it can create a man-made fifth calamity!"
Cheng Miao was in a trance, and for the first time, he felt that these earth-destroying forces were so close to him.
He has long lost his obsession with life and death, and the only obsession is strength and revenge.
Thinking of this, instead of feeling any horror and sadness, he felt relieved, and he chuckled and said, "This Nine Clans are quite powerful! The fact that this world can actually create a weapon comparable to calamity proves that this world is still quite powerful!"
The empty shadow sneered and said: "Let's not talk about the Nine Clan's cherishing of chemical weapons, the suspicion between the Nine Clans makes them agree, and how likely is it to detonate chemical weapons at the same time, but also need to find a place that can resonate with heaven and earth, and only with the help of heaven and earth power can we achieve the lowest level of calamity power." ”
She continued to strike mercilessly: "If you want to take revenge with the help of this method, I advise you to wait for them to die of old age, so that it is more practical!"
He continued with irony: "Even if you wait for the enemy to die of old age, you have to cultivate higher than them and live longer than them! After a hundred years and a thousand years, if your enemy family has been killed, you can also burn some incense and sprinkle a few glasses of wine on your parents who died miserably, and say that the enemy is dead, and the great revenge will be avenged?"
Especially the last sentence, it deeply pierced Cheng Miao's heart.
Cheng Miao can endure the insults of others, the trampling on him, and the contempt for him, in order to live, those things have long been thrown on the ground by him.
He couldn't stand anyone's insults to his parents, and he thought in his heart that he was once incompetent and couldn't protect his family, so the guilt for them made him unbearable for anyone's disrespect for his parents.
The deceased relatives are his deepest hidden sore spots, and these few words just poked at Cheng Miao's sore spots.
In an instant, the anger completely overwhelmed Cheng Miao's mind, he wanted to rush over and make a move with the empty shadow, but found that he was bound by an invisible giant hand, and he couldn't break free with all his strength, and he couldn't move at all.
His eyes widened, he stared at the empty shadow fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "I will definitely kill them! I will kill them with my own hands, and pluck off their heads with my own hands to pay tribute to the spirits of my parents in the sky!!"
