Chapter 210: Abyssal Filth
"This vein of dark iron ore is obviously condensed by manpower, and who is the author with such a handiwork?"
Zhang Qian's mind has been haunting this question, and now look at the words mixed in the talisman here, only then did he find a clue, obviously it was a certain power when the immortal court had not ruled for three terms in ancient times, this kind of text Zhang Qian consulted the classics, and also understood, although he couldn't recognize it, but he did know its origin, it was a man in ancient times, a demon, When the three immortals are mixed, the text shared by several parties is created according to the traces of the natural avenue, there are the shapes of birds and beasts, the track of the stars, also known as the text of the ancestors, and now the Taoist writing talismans, among which those lines that look messy like ghost paintings, are actually transformed from the text of the ancestors, which can be described as far-reaching.
Now that the text of the ancestors has been abolished, and the Heavenly Court has set up another text, it is intended to erase that period of history in order to ensure the long-term stability of the Heavenly Court.
Those who still use the words of the ancestors as their writings, there are only some remnants who wander in the world and do not submit to the rule of the heavenly court, or ancient demon saints, or human saints.
However, based on these words alone, it is impossible to guess who will leave this ruin, after all, in ancient times, the text of the ancestors was still the mainstream language, and this relic is by no means a thing of this world.
"Emperor Dongyue must know about this, so it's time to ask him. Zhang Qian thought in his heart.
Leaning over and bowing his head to carefully ponder the stretching talisman on the ground under his feet, but he couldn't guess what the person who left this relic did to protect this piece of 10,000-year-old dark iron, and this thing is not afraid of the erosion of time and time, and this vein changes its position with the movement of the leylines, obviously this talisman does not imprison this 10,000-year-old dark iron in a fixed position, even if this layer of talisman can make this 10,000-year-old dark iron untouched, but if you really want to take it away, it will be involved in the bag, it will not play any role at all, why bother in vain? But now Zhang Qian wants to take it away but there are still some difficulties, this piece of 10,000-year-old black iron, protected by this talisman, has become an inseparable whole, I don't know what the volume is, but it is estimated that the weight is also extremely terrifying, even if the Linglong ** tower can be carried, but carrying such a heavy object anytime and anywhere, it is enough for him to choke, and he has to further enhance the power of the Linglong ** tower.
Zhang Qian walked horizontally along the Yongdao, and the true fire of the sun condensed into the 'Zifeng Chishu Spirit Mantra' around his body, causing it, except for the pitch-black and hard 10,000-year-old Xuantie under his feet that was supported by the talisman, everything else was melted, although there was no open flame in the Yongdao, but the temperature was so high that it was incredibly high, I am afraid that a piece of firewood, placed in it, will not burn, and it will be burned into a cloud of ashes in an instant.
However, all the heat was blocked by the Breathless Armor, and it could not affect him in the slightest.
Walking around for a while, the piece of 10,000-year-old dark iron under his feet has appeared a touch of arc, Zhang Qian also gradually realized that this thing seems to be spherical, the diameter should be about forty or fifty zhang, so that Zhang Qian is even more surprised by the origin of this dark iron vein, if the whole vein is just as Shen Gu said, shaped like a chicken egg, then this 10,000-year-old dark iron is the egg yolk in the center of the chicken egg, he faintly feels that these dark iron exist here seems to have another use, not a simple storehouse, but what is the specific use, and there is no way to know, he groped along the surface inch by inch, and did not find a trace of flaw to invade, these ancestral texts are like horizontal and longitudinal lines on the cloth, dense, without gaps。
In the end, Zhang Qian had even cut the entire piece of 10,000-year-old dark iron out of the dark iron vein, but there was still no result.
It was not much different from his previous calculations, with a diameter of forty-nine zhang, round as a bead, and the surface was covered by talismans, he tried to push it, only slightly rolling half an inch away, and the weight was terrifying, I am afraid that there are more than 100 million catties.
Zhang Qian tried to put this thing into the Linglong ** Tower, but it had failed, and only half of the volume of the 10,000-year-old Xuantie entered it, and the whole world made an overwhelming sound, like a heavy grinding disc pressed on a dilapidated wooden table, although it may collapse, the whole world is distorted, the ground has collapsed, and now Linglong** The space in the tower can't bear such a heavy thing at all, forcibly incorporated, like a spirit snake swallowing an elephant, it will only crack the dust cave in it, and I have no choice but to give up, bypass here, and continue to sneak into the depths, which is different from when I came, but it is difficult and easy first, the deeper you go, the lower the quality of the dark iron, and it is really shaped like a chicken egg, and it is not wrong.
After some experience, Zhang Qian's heart couldn't be calm, especially the piece of 10,000-year-old black iron, which couldn't be taken away, although the emotions on his face were as calm as ever, his heart was full of pity.
Suddenly, I felt that the crowded world around me was suddenly empty, but I was already in a pitch-black corridor, like an abyss.
The dark iron vein is like a huge giant egg embedded in the cliff wall of the abyss, the world below is eerie and terrifying, as if you can hear the howl of the yin spirit, I don't know how deep, I only feel that the wind is whistling like a whimper, far away and deep, it is also extremely cold, exhaling into frost, Zhang Qian frowned slightly, the breathless armor wrapped him in a drip, but it was not affected by the sinister environment of the outside world, at this time Shen Gu said: "This abyss is the minotaur ghost will gather millions of souls to arrange" The Great Array of Ten Thousand Ghosts Against the Current was torn apart in this crust, reaching the Nine Shadows, leading to the Netherworld, but now the passage has been closed, and only some ghosts are still entrenched here. ”
"Where is the Dragon Vein Stone Pillar now?" Zhang Qian asked.
"It's at the bottom of this abyss, but I seem to sense that there are many powerful ghosts entrenched nearby, so the Lord should be careful. Shen Gu said cautiously.
Zhang Qian did not speak, now in the abyss, no earth and stone barrier, although the divine consciousness is still disturbed by the power of the geocentric element, but the situation in the depths of the thousand zhang is still clear, although his cultivation is only the level of the early stage of the realm of Qi Xing Zhoutian, but the divine consciousness is equivalent to the realm of pumping and filling in the field, Shen Gu is not clear, so he is worried, the wings shook slightly, and the body turned into a streamer and shot towards the abyss suddenly, grasped by the strong power of the geocentric element, the speed was even faster to the extreme, a thousand zhang distance, instantaneous, but it was moving from the heart, suddenly moving, suddenly stopped, the body hovered in the air, the wings were slightly opened, like two sharp blades into the void, Hold on to the trend!
Flexibility and explosiveness are more than several times stronger than relying solely on the power of the body.
Although with the explosive power of his physical body, Zhang Qian can also improve his body technique to an almost perverted level, but after all, he can't borrow power from the void, and in this case, it is far less domineering and effective than the Breathless Armor.
Ten feet below him is the bottom of the abyss.
Now that the great array has been withdrawn and the passage connecting the Netherworld has collapsed, the whole space is like being broken into thousands of pieces and then sewn up again, chaotic, eyes condensed, scan the surroundings, you can see that the void is full of black cracks, although it has been healed, and it is difficult to detect even the subtle divine consciousness, but it makes people feel that this space is particularly unstable, and there are no other abnormalities, such as being in a swamp, it seems that it may fall at any time, but the truth cannot escape Zhang Qian's eyes, look at it, at a glance, and the heart is also for that' I was shocked by the terrifying power of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Countercurrent Great Array, tearing apart the world, which was already a means that only the masters of the Yuan God possessed.
Space is broken, and everything in the abyss is naturally not intact.
The earth's crustal plate is like a torn dough, as if it has been ravaged by the power of the omnipresent space into such a shape, in the ruins, four or five broken stone pillars are scattered here, and it is also the only thing that can still see the original face in this abyss, like stalactites stalagmites, more than a few people hugging each other, all over the holes, and the dragon vein stone pillar seen in the Wangxia Peak of Wushan before is very similar, but the broken dragon vein stone pillar in front of him is dark red, like fire jade, no wonder Puyang City is hot all year round, it was originally related to the attributes of the dragon vein stone pillar, but now there is no fire at all, but it exudes a trace of gloomy atmosphere, and the color is also extremely strange。
It's like being soaked in thick ink, and a faint touch of blue and black is soaked into it, which looks extremely unnatural.
"Sure enough, the dragon vein stone pillar of this Puyang City was destroyed in the great array, broken into several pieces, fell into the abyss and was eroded by the obscure qi, and now it is on the verge of collapse. Zhang Qian took a long breath, the aura of heaven and earth emitted by this dragon vein stone pillar is now extremely weak, on top of the stone pillar, there are several black filths, like thick phlegm, but it is constantly wriggling, it is actually a living thing, it is frantically devouring the heaven and earth vitality emitted from the stone pillar, the appetite is huge, and the heaven and earth vitality remaining from its mouth is like flowing water between the fingers, meager and pitiful, but it is not inferior to the speed of the heaven and earth vitality contained in the Linglong ** tower.
This dragon vein stone was once the foundation of the survival of hundreds of millions of living beings in a radius of thousands of miles in Puyang City, and was formed after tens of millions of years of natural creation.
Zhang Qian's heart implied nervousness, this dragon vein stone pillar is an out-and-out social artifact, affecting the rise and fall of a place, even the Yuan Shen realm of the kind of earth immortal power also implicitly coveted this, in ancient times, only by mastering a dragon vein can dominate the heaven and earth vitality, only the right and capital to open a sect, many earth immortals, and even tear the void can fly up in the daytime, in order to fight for the control of the dragon vein of a mountain and a water, I don't know how many earth-shattering tragic battles have been caused, countless famous mountains and monuments have been destroyed, among which the mountains and rivers and dragon veins have naturally been destroyed, to this day, there are very few famous mountains and rivers in the world, and there is only one Luofu Mountain in the ten major caves。
The dragon veins of mountains and rivers are becoming more and more precious, especially after the catastrophe thousands of years ago, the human world is devastated, and it is like a wilderness.
In order to clean up the mess and let the world have a space to recuperate, the Heavenly Court set up an earth to guard the dragon veins of mountains and rivers, and did not allow cultivators to use it at will, and those who violated it were punished by the rules of heaven.
It seems that the scum, although it is a demon, but after occupying the Minjiang Water Mansion, he only dares to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth next to the dragon vein stone pillar, and does not dare to take it for himself, let alone destroy it, and even the people in the righteous path are red here, but they are afraid of throwing rat traps, and they can only communicate secretly with this monster, and they dare not deal with it with a tough attitude, otherwise there will be a difference in the dragon vein, and those involved will be punished by the rules of heaven and will never be reborn. It is precisely because the dragon veins of the mountains and rivers in the world are restricted that cultivators are not allowed to grab the dragon vein vitality without authorization. The power of cultivation has shrunk to the blessed land of the caves, unlike in ancient times, when a hundred ways were rampant, and there were countless cultivators in the world, as stated in the book "Lingshu Suwen", the ancient people were 100 years old in spring and autumn.
However, Zhang Qian has now picked up a big bargain, first of all, this dragon vein stone pillar was cut off by the bull-headed ghost general and Yangshan Xiaodongtian and his party, and it has nothing to do with him.
And Heavenly Court is now busy suppressing the ghost trouble, resolving the crisis of the demon clan's loud extrication, and there is no time to clean up the mess, he takes this dragon vein stone pillar as his own, and no one knows about it, so naturally it will not involve him, even if the matter is revealed in the future, he is not the culprit, he only picked up the cheap, and even left a trace of incense for Puyang City, considering the ambiguous relationship between him and Emperor Dongyue, it will not cause any trouble, and now this dragon vein stone pillar is in front of him, just reach out and take it, this kind of good thing, it can be said that there is no one before or after, it is actually for him to meet, it can be regarded as excellent luck, the only tricky, that is, the few black filths on the dragon vein stone pillars.
Zhang Qian looked at it for a long time, and he didn't know what it was, he restrained his breath, these living filths didn't feel his existence, and now they were still quietly dormant, although there was no abnormal movement, but it gave people an extremely dangerous feeling.
"It must be a creature of the underworld. Zhang Qian looked at it for a moment, and then asked Shen Gu: "Do you recognize this thing?"
This Shen Gu has been the city god for more than 200 years, and he must have a certain understanding of the underworld, so he asked like him, but Shen Gu was also vague, and he couldn't say it clearly, obviously he didn't know this thing, "Look at this appearance, it should be something in the underworld, but I haven't seen such ghosts, maybe the hungry ghosts in the hungry ghost road." ”
The Hungry Ghost Road is a place where people with deep sins are banished, and the environment is harsh, and the living souls live in it, and they cannot survive without seeking death, and they cannot feed each other, but they cannot die.
Wandering around the human stomach, it comes out, becomes fragmented, and even the whole body is composed of maggots and feces, and it is still unconscious, and it can only be liberated by thousands of years of torture.
Therefore, the hungry ghosts in the Hungry Ghost Dao are all strange, and there are all kinds of things, so Shen Gu made this guess.
Zhang Qian's knowledge in this area is not as good as his, and he can't say why, but he doesn't have the heart to look ahead and look back, these puddles of thick phlegm-like filth are not able to feel his existence, then he has the initiative, signaling Shen Gu to calm down, his mind moved, his body was like an electric shot, and suddenly disappeared in place, only to hear a sharp and light wind sounded, which has exceeded the limit that the human ear can distinguish, but the few puddles of filth lurking on the dragon vein stone pillar are like a calm lake, a light breeze, can disturb it, ripples suddenly, and the thick phlegm-like body suddenly rises a bubble, like the earth air rising in the swamp, with a bang, the bubble bursts。
The cold voice sounded in this abyss world where the defense was banished three thousand feet from the ground, which made people feel creepy.
Zhang Qian was suddenly startled, only to feel that countless visions suddenly appeared in his mind, bizarre and weird, a hundred times more terrifying than the heart magic realm. A thousand times, as if seeing an endless night sky, a vast and infinite red star slowly moved, a fierce aura suddenly reflected in the heart, and then the soul seemed to be planted with a demon seed, and in an instant, countless heavenly magic illusions were born, fierce gods and evil spirits, as if they could drown people in fear, in the cave of the divine court, the soul was suddenly shattered, the consciousness was completely lost, the body was out of control in this moment, and even Shen Gu, it was already one with the breathless armor, and it was still shaken by the heart, and at this moment, it was powerless to control the battle armor.
There was a high-pitched hum, like a long sword out of the body.
Zhang Qian's whole person suddenly lost control, and his body overturned, but he still maintained this extremely terrifying speed, so he tore through the air and let out a sharp clang.
This time he fell out hard, smashed on the abyss cliff wall, the rock wall that was already close to the edge of fragmentation, collapsed, Zhang Qian was buried alive by the falling gravel in an instant, fortunately, the breathless armor was indestructible, Zhang Qian's leakless spirit body was also strong and abnormal, and he was not injured, but Shen Gu was already a frightened soul not possessed, and after he came to his senses, he forgot to escape from danger with Zhang Qian, because he found that Zhang Qian in the armor was actually breathless, he was dead, and it was useless to escape at the moment, without Zhang Qian's true qi support, he could not escape from the depth of three thousand zhang underground, not to mention that he was surrounded by strong enemies, and his mind was already blank!
Why did Zhang Qian die! Just like God played a ridiculous joke on him, he had seen Zhang Qian's methods of reaching heaven with his own eyes, although his cultivation was mediocre, his strength and background were among the best in the world.
Such a character, looking at the world, is enough to laugh proudly, but he died here inexplicably, and many means have not had time to be used, he can't believe the facts in front of him.
However, Zhang Qian is indeed lifeless, there is no breath in, just like a person whose yang life is exhausted, he is the lifeless armor spirit, and at this time, the breathless armor is wrapped around Zhang Qian's body, and he can naturally clearly feel Zhang Qian's heartbeat. Zhang Qian's death is not only related to his future and fate, this person has the grace of reinvention with him, but also takes him not thin, so dead, the mood is naturally very sad, thinking of the previous scene, it is also extremely helpless, understand that Zhang Qian is in the gutter overturned, those few pools of black filth, seemingly harmless, but the means are very cruel, can directly hurt people's souls, although Zhang Qian's magic power is through the sky, there is also an ancient spirit treasure to protect himself.
However, this divine soul attack is strange and difficult to prevent, and it hit Zhang Qian's weakness, and he died directly under carelessness.
Shen Gu has been with him for a while, and he also knows that although the strength and means of this Taishang Daoist are extremely terrifying, but the realm is only in the early stage of the realm of Qi Xing Zhoutian, the spiritual platform has not been opened, the spirit has not been strengthened, and it is extremely fragile, even he is very inferior, just now he was only affected by it, and he almost lost consciousness, Zhang Qian is more than him in this regard, and he has borne the main pressure, so naturally there will be no good end.
There is nothing else to think in my heart except remorse and grief.
