Chapter 41: The Xichen Palace
Mu Feng's words shocked Liu Yiyi's heart, and she woke up in an instant.
"You mean that Qu Xinyi did it?"
Mu Feng nodded and said, "This is the only explanation, she must have a plan when she came to the Mountain and River Palace." ”
Mo Bing thought a lot and reminded: "This matter must not be leaked, we just know it in our hearts, and treat it as if we don't know anything to the outside world." ”
"Let's go, let's move on. ”
Mu Feng didn't say anything, and the three of them turned into the passage on the left, which was their real choice.
A short scream echoed through the tunnel, making people's hearts tighten, and a sense of crisis emerged from the bottom of their hearts.
"Is this really the place of origin of the Mountain and River Temple?"
Mu Feng muttered to himself, and began to doubt Qu Xinyi's words.
Mo Bing said: "It's hard to say for the time being, I can sense a strong call, this place should not be far from the Mountain and River Palace." ”
Liu Yiyi questioned: "Why did that person secretly follow us just now and not with the others? Is this a coincidence, or is there another reason?"
"Sister Yiyi, don't think about it so much, now we have to figure out the terrain and environment here, and figure out its origin, before we can move on to the next step. ”
The three of them walked cautiously, and flame-like light emerged from their bodies, illuminating the surrounding scenery.
Hundreds of feet ahead, some white bones appeared on the ground, most of which were already in their prime.
"In the past, there should have been a lot of masters who died here. ”
The breeze swelled under Mu Feng's feet, blowing white bone meal and rolling into the depths of the tunnel.
The secluded environment gave people a feeling of depression, Mo Bing's face was serious, Liu Yiyi's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, only Mu Feng's expression was as usual, and he walked in the forefront.
Soon after, a stone chamber appeared in front of it, and three closed stone doors were revealed on the stone wall, and it was unknown where it led.
The ground was covered with dust, and many messy footprints told that someone had been here before.
The three of them exchanged glances and began to consider which stone door to enter.
Running the mountains and rivers and the earth, Mu Feng, Liu Yiyi, and Mo Bing sensed carefully, and they all vaguely heard some kind of summoning in their hearts, and their eyes fell on the stone gate on the far right.
Mu Feng came to the stone gate, slowly stretched out his right hand, the mountains and rivers in his body were running rapidly, and the moment his palm touched the stone gate, a bright light shot out from the stone gate, turning into a ribbon full of spiritual patterns, wrapped around Mu Feng's arm.
Liu Yiyi exclaimed in surprise and wanted to come forward to help, but was stopped by Mo Bing.
"Don't worry, let's see the situation first. ”
Mu Feng's body trembled slightly, and the ribbon contained mysterious power, establishing a connection with the mountains, rivers and earth in his body, and traces of fusion appeared on the two sides.
This scene lasted for a moment, and the stone door came loose, and then slowly opened, as if a seal had been broken.
Mu Feng was stunned, faintly aware of something, but he couldn't say it clearly.
After the three of them entered, the stone door closed automatically, and everything was back to its original state, and there was no difference to be seen.
Walking along the tunnel for more than ten kilometers, a bright light appeared in front of them, and a huge natural cave appeared in the eyes of the three people, with an inextinguishable flame suspended in the air, illuminating the scenery in the cave.
"It's such a rich aura, this place is very suitable for cultivation. ”
Mu Feng's body was engraved with a four-fold gathering spirit array, and the rich spiritual energy surged towards him at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"There's something quirky about this place, and it seems to be different from other places. ”
Mo Bing's heart was filled with inexplicable stupidity, and the six senses suddenly became chaotic.
Liu Yiyi also had that feeling, knowing that this place was extraordinary, but she couldn't capture it accurately.
Mu Feng didn't think too much about it, naturally relaxed his whole body, let the aura wash his body, and felt the feeling of feathering and soaring.
The cave is large, and there are forks in the road that lead to other places.
The three of them stayed in the cave for a while, and Mu Feng absorbed the aura in the cave and continued on the road.
Passing through a narrow tunnel, a bright light appeared ahead, revealing the tip of the iceberg of an ancient palace.
"What is this place?"
The three of them were extremely surprised, they had no idea that there would be a palace in the belly of the mountain.
"Be careful, stay safe. ”
The three of them walked forward slowly, and as they approached the palace, a spiritual light suddenly emerged from the ground in front of them, manifesting a formation.
"There are defenses, which means that this palace hides secrets. ”
That formation was very mysterious, Mu Feng, Mo Bing, and Liu Yiyi observed it for a long time, and they never came up with a way to crack it.
"Someone is coming. ”
In contemplation, Mu Feng suddenly spoke, pulling Mo Bing and Liu Yiyi to the side, and a bright, whistling and piercing light shot from behind, directly hitting the formation.
But when a loud bang was heard, the mountain shook, and the dazzling bright light drowned everything, and the diffuse shock wave swept the three of them out.
The formation in front was forcibly destroyed by the terrifying force, and the violent method of breaking the formation was completely beyond the expectations of Mu Feng and the three of them.
By the time the explosion calmed down, there were more than a dozen people in the cave, all of them were disciples of the Mountain and River Palace, and they were looking in the direction of the palace with suspicious eyes, where there was a dazzling light.
"Rush. ”
These disciples who suddenly came in rushed up and rushed towards the palace as fast as they could, all trying to be at the front.
Mu Feng was a little dizzy, the explosion just now was too sudden, which caught him off guard.
Mo Bing and Liu Yiyi both looked angry, the person who shot behind the detonation of the formation didn't care about the life or death of the three of them at all, and was even suspected of killing people with a knife.
However, it is doubtful who that person is and how he got here.
Mo Bing paid attention to the more than ten disciples of the Mountain and River Palace, among them, there were three core disciples, with their cultivation strength, they didn't seem to have the ability to break the formation violently.
Liu Yiyi obviously thought of this too, and her beautiful face showed confusion.
Mu Feng gradually sobered up, glanced at the movement around him, and finally moved his gaze to the stone gate at the entrance.
At this moment, someone pushed the door in, and it seemed effortless.
Mu Feng felt strange, pulled Liu Yiyi and Mo Bing to retreat outside the stone gate first, and stretched out his hand to push the stone gate again.
And so it was. ”
Mu Feng effortlessly pushed open the stone door, and this situation was completely different from before.
Liu Yiyi said: "There should have been a seal on this stone door, but ordinary people probably can't open it, but you unlocked the seal on the stone door before, making it a door that anyone can open." ”
Mo Bing said: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk more, let's go first to take a look at the situation of that palace." ”
The three of them passed through the stone gate and quickly came to the outside of the palace, and found that there were already more than a dozen disciples of the Mountain and River Hall in the hall, looking around.
This palace is not big, and the blood is shining on a palace wall, and there are two big blood characters suspended - Xichen, like an inextinguishable flame, burning from ancient times to the present.
"What does Xichen mean? The name of this palace, or the name of a master?"
Many people looked at those two words and were puzzled.
In the other corner of the palace, a three-color array is inscribed on the ground, which is in a completely static state.
Mu Feng, Mo Bing, and Liu Yiyi quickly entered, carefully observing every corner of the hall, and did not let go of any detail.
After turning around, except for Xichen and the three-color array, Liu Yiyi and Mo Bing found nothing else.
Mu Feng behaved abnormally, frowning and turning left and right three times in the main hall, turning people upset.
Liu Yiyi and Mo Bing glanced at each other, paying close attention to Mu Feng's performance, and always felt that he seemed to have made a discovery.
The disciples of the Mountain and River Hall were mainly concentrated near the three-color array and in front of the palace wall, and only Mu Feng, Mo Bing, and Liu Yiyi stood in the middle of the main hall.
At this time, Mu Feng, who was spinning in circles, suddenly stopped, looked up at the top of the hall, and a grimace was reflected in his eyes, which was a scene that Mo Bing and Liu Yiyi could not see.
Just as Mu Feng raised his head and stared, a disciple in front of the palace wall suddenly let out a cry of pain, and his shoulder was cut by an invisible wind blade, and blood splattered out.
"Someone is plotting a sneak attack, get out of here. ”
Some people were furious and looked around, but they didn't find anything.
"Look, the blood is flying upwards. ”
The strange scene was amazing, the splashed blood did not fall to the ground, but flew to the top of the temple, and the blood beads broke apart, turning into a blood mist, and the handwriting appeared.
"The teacher paints the saint, there are three disciples, Xichen is the leader, and the demon is ...... for thousands of years"
The blood mist was rapidly thinning, and the handwriting was looming, as if every word manifested would consume a large amount of blood.
"It turns out that this Xichen turned out to be the first disciple of the painting saint back then!"
Many people were amazed, mixed with a scream, which once again alarmed everyone.
Mo Bing and Liu Yiyi both looked around and did not find anything abnormal, but the previously injured disciple had already been beheaded, and a large amount of blood flew towards the top of the hall, turning into a large area of blood mist, and the handwriting continued to manifest.
"Demonic immortality, drawing pictures to seal the sky, mountains and rivers refining, soul dissipation......"
Seeing this, many people are puzzled.
"What does it mean to draw a picture to seal the sky?"
"Mountains and rivers refining, does the word mountains and rivers refer to mountains and rivers?"
"The soul is gone, does that mean the demon is dead?"
All kinds of speculation and doubts are endless, and everyone is expressing their opinions, but they ignore who assassinated that disciple.
In the blood mist, characters are emerging.
"Three-color array, danger and fate, dripping blood to open the formation, life and death line ......"
The handwriting ended here, and the blood mist on the roof of the temple quickly dissipated.
Mu Feng's face was ugly, everyone only saw the blood mist, but he saw the grimace behind the blood mist.
In addition, Mu Feng had a feeling of being watched, the previous disciple's injury and bleeding seemed to be related to Mu Feng, and he was beheaded later just to make the handwriting visible.
"Is that him?"
Mu Feng was secretly vigilant, feeling that all this seemed to be related to the mysterious shadow before.
At this moment, everyone flocked to the three-color array, and those who were anxious were already dripping blood to open the formation, wanting to figure out what the mystery of this formation was.
The three colors of the three-color array are red, green, and purple, and what they mean is unknown for the time being.
The first person to start the formation with a drop of blood bit his finger, and the blood fell on the formation map, and the formation was immediately activated, and a red light emerged, which sucked the person into the formation at once, and teleported out in the blink of an eye, disappearing without a trace.
