Volume 1 The First Awakening of Nangong City Chapter 52 The Place of the Immortals' Bones
In the mountains, Xiu Yu and Nangong Ruoxi sat under the ancient trees, and the breeze blew gently, bringing up a dust and fallen leaves.
The beautiful scenery of the mountain sometimes comes out of the crisp sound of the piano, the sound of the piano is full of ears, wisps of smart rhythm in the mountain beating with the wind, accompanied by a fluttering butterfly, like a fairy hall in the world.
"This guqin was once given by one of my deceased people, and its name is Phoenix Dance and Dragon Yin. Legend has it that it was left by an immortal three thousand years ago, the guqin is cast by phoenix wood and dragon whiskers, and the glazed glimmer on it is impregnated with the flames of the phoenix and the breath of the dragon, although it is a bit exaggerated, but the phoenix dance dragon chant is indeed a rare guqin. β
Nangong Ruoxi plucked the strings while spitting out leisurely.
Xiu Yu said on the side: "The piano is a good piano, and the music is a good song." The right piano to play the right song, is the real end of the song, this piano is not suitable for you, if there is a chance in the future, I will give you a piano that belongs to you most exclusively in the world. β
"Oh, is it?" Nangong Ruoxi's beautiful eyes were raised slightly, like autumn water, beautiful and crystalline, "Once, there was also a person who said the same thing as you - they all said that this piano does not belong to me, but compared to other pianos, this piano is indeed a rare and good piano, and it has been with me for many years, so I have not been able to give it up." β
"Hearing this, that person should also be good at the art of the piano and is a person who loves the piano......" Xiu Yu smiled lightly.
"No-" Nangong Ruoxi smiled between her eyebrows, "Actually, on the contrary, that person doesn't like the piano, and he is not interested in things like the five unique techniques of the piano, but he likes to listen to the piano and likes wonderful things...... Especially when it's quiet. β
"It seems that the person who gave you the piano must be an interesting person. Xiu Yu finally said this.
...... The sound of the piano continues to echo in the mountains, and the two sit and talk to each other under the ancient trees, the melody is beautiful and moving, and the men and women are even more quiet and comfortable.
When the evening came, the last rays of the sunset completely dissipated, and the two sat on the top of the mountain, overlooking and enjoying the wonders of Xuanling Canyon.
Dozens of miles away, looking at the endless dark red wasteland from afar, the scenery on this side of the Xuanling Canyon is completely different.
There are no clouds on the dark red sky, and it seems to be eternal darkness. Although there are many supernatural beings standing on the earth, it is still barren and lifeless.
"There is an extremely dangerous area in the wasteland, where is it?" Xiuyu asked aloud as he looked at the wasteland.
"This wasteland has been dilapidated for thousands of years, and it has long since been cut off from life. The earth-shattering battle of immortals completely destroyed this ancient forest, and even the earth has sunk, and in the time of thousands of years, several very dangerous areas have been derived. β
Nangong Ruoxi explained, with a solemn meaning between her eyebrows, "I have walked in the wasteland many times, and I have explored them one by one, but I have only learned about three places, and behind those three places, there are actually more areas that are difficult for ordinary people to set foot in. β
"Three, and more?" Xiu Yu frowned and wondered, why did he come all the way and not encounter any danger?
Nangong Ruoxi continued: "One of the most dangerous areas is ......there," she pointed to the back of the canyon, under the dark red night in the deepest part of the wasteland, "If you look closely, the dark red light above the wasteland is extremely dazzling in some places, and the area under that sky is the most dangerous area. β
Speaking of this, she looked at Xiu Yu and said suspiciously, "Actually, I'm very curious, how did you go straight through the wasteland and come to Xuanling Canyon. You know, the wasteland is endless, and if there is no special method, it is impossible to distinguish the direction, and it can only be like a headless fly, which is very likely to break into that dangerous area. β
"Is it really a coincidence?"
Hearing this, Xiu Yu's brows furrowed. He was able to come here because of the ancient giant rock mammoth. The ancient mammoth dragged the body of the ancient snake and disappeared in the direction of the Xuanling Canyon, but when he chased all the way, he didn't see the slightest trace of the boulder mammoth.
It was as if the ancient mammoth had just vanished into thin air.
He thought for a while before he said something that made Nangong Ruoxi feel strange: "Have you seen a living creature here?"
"Hmm, do you mean Xuanling Canyon or that wasteland?" Nangong Ruoxi wrinkled her nose.
"It's a creature that came from the wasteland, a very large creature!" Xiuyu explained.
Nangong Ruoxi shook her head, indicating that she hadn't seen it.
"I've been here for half a month, and I've never seen any creatures passing through the Xuanling Canyon from the wasteland. To be honest, I've never seen a single creature living on the wasteland. β
"That's weird, then...... Shouldn't it?" Xiu Yu muttered to himself, "Is that also an illusion?"
He fell into deep thought.
The terrifying battle between the Sinking Star Forest and the Giant Stone Mammoth and the Ancient Snake was definitely not caused by an anomaly.
The earth was torn apart, blood flowed like rivers, and forests were flattened, and this could not have been a vision.
The boulder mammoth had obviously passed through the wasteland, but why would Nangong Ruoxi say that he had never seen a real creature in the wasteland?
Could it be that the monolithic mammoth doesn't want other creatures to notice its presence?
Suddenly, Xiu Yu only felt that there was some unusual secret on the wasteland.
"What are the dangerous areas in the wasteland?" he asked after a moment.
Nangong Ruoxi quickly replied: "I have walked through three places, one is the crack behind the canyon that spreads to the edge of the earth, it is a deep crack that goes straight to the depths of the earth, if you accidentally fall down, I am afraid that you will fall into the dark abyss." β
"But normally speaking, if an ordinary person falls, he or she may be killed by a fall. β
"Is there a problem with this crack?" Xiu Yu asked, listening to her tone, the earth crack didn't seem to be simple.
"Yes, and there is a big problem!" Nangong Ruoxi's voice was categorical, "If you say that there are traces of living beings on the wasteland, then I guess it must be under that crack......"
"One time I was here, I heard the sound of heavy breathingβthe sound was like thunder, wild and terrifying, like the low roar of some ancient beast, and it seemed to be the gasp of some powerful being......"
Her expression was jealous, "I don't know if it's from some kind of creature, but there is an unknown danger under the cracks. β
Xiu Yu nodded his head and listened to Nangong Ruoxi continue.
"Every once in a while, there will be a sandstorm on the wasteland, which is a completely nameless sandstorm, and every time it appears, it will wither and decay, and even if the stone is involved in it, it will be torn into powder - but the time and place of the wind and sand are not fixed, and you may not see it once in the first half of your time. β
Xiu Yu stared at the wasteland again, nodded, and said, "The most dangerous area should be there, right?"
He pointed to the other side of the sky, which was extremely harsh and red.
Nangong Ruoxi snorted, then her eyes were deep, and she said slowly: "That is the most terrifying place on the wasteland, it can be said to be a desperate murderous place!"
"It is rumored that it is the place where the battle of immortals ended thousands of years ago. Under that dark red sky, there are large barren mounds piled up, and there are some fragments of remnants, where the ominous, the aura of decay and death permeates everywhere, there is a place of death for immortals, mixed with the desperate will of countless immortals to fall!"
"People who are not determined will will be deeply affected when they take one of these steps. If you continue to go deeper, even if you are a cultivator, you may become an unconscious walking corpse. β
"Are you saying that all the immortals who died in the Immortal War were buried there?" Xiu Yu asked, "Who is that who has the ability to bury these immortals?"
"Nobody knows. Nangong Ruoxi shook her head, "Maybe it was buried by people, maybe it was naturally formed, there is no way to talk about it." However, it is known as the burial place of the immortals, and it is also the most dangerous area in the wasteland. β
The eyes of the two were cast beneath the blinding dark red sky.
After a long time, Xiu Yu asked again: "You said that you have walked through these dangerous areas, the places where the bones of the immortals are buried, and you have also entered them?"
Hearing Xiuyu's question, Nangong Ruoxi's eyes showed a trace of memory, "I went there once, when I was very young, a little boy took me there. β
"Little boy!?When was he young?"
Xiu Yu was slightly surprised!
According to her description, the place where the immortals bury their bones should be extremely dangerous, and even cultivators with advanced cultivation will be in danger of their lives when they step into it, how can the two children come out of it unharmed?
Since she had entered it when she was a child, and it was another young boy who had brought her in, it meant that they had avoided the dangers inside. Or rather, they know where to go dangerous and where to be safe.
After taking a few breaths, Nangong Ruoxi pointed to the guqin and said, "This guqin was brought out from there, and the name of the guqin was also taken by him." β
"There are immortals buried there, and at the same time, countless divine soldiers have been left, and the Phoenix Dance Dragon Yin is one of the more complete ones, but most of the divine soldiers have been damaged and have long been decayed into dust. β
Hearing this, Xiu Yu was even more shocked, and he let out a soft exclamation: "You didn't break in by accident, but walked in by yourself?"
Nangong Ruoxi nodded silently.
"After that little boy took you in, just to get a guqin?"
She snorted.
Xiu Yu was shocked at this time, he originally thought that the little boy Nangong Ruoxi said brought her in, and he should have broken in accidentally. But never thought that it was the little boy who took the initiative to take her in and came out alive and sound?
In this way, the little boy seems even more unusual.
For a while, the little boy who had accompanied Nangong Ruoxi for a period of time made him have to remember deeply at this moment that according to his age, that little boy is almost the same age as him now, and if he has the opportunity, he will definitely get to know him in the future.
At this moment, Xiu Yu had never had the idea of a man he had never met that he was extremely eager to see.
What are you kidding, since the place where the immortals are buried is said to be the most dangerous area, how can they enter and exit casually, what danger is it?
There's definitely something wrong with that little boy!
He must know the secrets of this wasteland!
