Chapter 8: The Ancient Temple
Chapter 8: The Ancient Temple
There was a sad look on everyone's faces.
Guy was so far from what they had imagined.
Although they had already thought before setting off, this trip to the secret realm would not be smooth sailing, after all, it was a new realm that they were not familiar with. But what I didn't expect was that there were only seven of them left in the team of nearly 200 people in the first round, which seemed a bit too cruel.
Among the remaining seven people, three old men survived completely because of the aura of the "head figure", these four people were purely blind cats who met the dead mouse, and they were too lucky to get these four life indicators among nearly two hundred people.
But luck can't be good all the time, it's possible that the next second you'll be in a different place, don't you see a mere forest is so dangerous? In fact, it's all because they're unlucky, if they appear in other places at the beginning, they probably won't have so many people dead, this green vine forest is not even willing to approach the native creatures of the secret realm, and it is one of the five dangers of the secret realm.
According to Qin Chen's experience in the fantasy novels he had read, there were only two results: one was that everyone escaped from the Ascension Heaven unscathed, and the other was that everyone became the nourishment of the soil of this secret realm.
"What should I do next?" Qin Chen, looking at the few people who were silent around him, asked. Of course, the main object of inquiry is Chief He, although there are only seven people left, he is the nominal supreme official after all.
"What else can I do? I can't go back, now I can only take one step at a time, and I hope this grassland will not be so dangerous. Chief He stroked the inch above his head, "Let's rest first, and set off in a while." โ
After resting for a while, the seven of them were ready to go.
At this time, behind them was a green vine forest that devoured nearly 100 lives, and the other three sides were grasslands. The grassland is flat and wide, with a clear view, small pale yellow flowers and green grass complement each other, and the breeze slowly blows across the cheeks, making people refreshed, as if they can forget all unpleasant things, and the sadness in the hearts of the seven of them seems to be blown away.
After deciding, the seven of them walked in the direction with their backs to the forest.
The scorching sun in the sky shone on the people, and the seven people relaxed their mood and walked on the grassland like an outing.
The pale yellow flowers exude a vague fragrance, fresh and elegant, and it must be this fragrance that calms everyone's irritable mood.
The whole grassland is vast and boundless, and there is green grass with yellow flowers everywhere, and there is no sense of direction at all. In order to prevent getting lost, Chief He put a small object every dozens of miles away, mostly archaeological objects, which are very easy to identify.
At night, the grassland is exceptionally quiet, with little insect chirping. The twilight breeze was blowing, and although it was November outside, it was obviously not affected in the slightest, not only was it not cold, but it also felt like a summer night.
"This is indeed a secret realm, a realm of its own, and the reincarnation of the four seasons has its own fixed number, I don't know who the people who created this secret realm in ancient times? Sun Xiaochuan sat on the grass with his buttocks, stroked his long beard that didn't exist, and pretended to be a master of the world, but his fat belly was like a wave, which was quite funny, and ruined his outfit.
Probably because the fat man's nerves are relatively large, the little fat does not feel the danger of the environment he is in now. Maybe even if he was aware of it, Chubby would show such a nonchalant expression.
Qin Chen couldn't help but cover his head with one hand, "Brother Xiaochuan, now is not the time to sigh, the top priority is to leave this grassland and find a way out of this secret realm." โ
"Anla, Anla," Sun Xiaochuan waved his palms up and down to let Qin Chen relax, "Don't forget the fortune teller I met when I was a child, he said that we are destined to 'see the dragon in the field', how can Jin Lin be a thing in the pool, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm." We are blessed with great fortunes, or maybe this is an opportunity for us. โ
Qin Chen slandered in his heart: This sentence is what he said to the children of the entire community, besides, that fortune teller is not a mud bodhisattva, and your body shape is too different from Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, it can be regarded as a combined version of the two of them, it was understandable to believe it when you were young, why do you still believe in this now, don't dream, wake up. It's time to wake up from the dream.
Since there are no dead branches and rotten leaves on the grassland that can be burned, it is no longer feasible to learn from the ancients' method of drilling wood to make fire.
Fortunately, this place has its own world, has no contact with the outside world, and the sky is still full of stars in November. By the faint starlight, the seven of them set up tents with the remaining fabric, had dinner, and let the two soldiers Li Xiangqian and Wang Tao patrol the night outside.
And the conversation just now is purely a boring conversation between two people who have eaten enough and have nothing to do.
"Then Master Sun, what do you think about walking out of this grassland?" Qin Chen stood up with his hands clenched into fists and bowed deeply to Sun Xiaochuan.
Sun Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "Little brother, you must know that Qin Chen** is easy to obtain, and the way to get out of the country is rare." I'll tell you the way to get out of the heavens, and you're going to show it. After saying that, he raised his eyebrows, revealing an expression that you understand.
Qin Chen couldn't wait to shake him with a big mouth, what is Qin Chen's ** easy to get. However, he knows Sun Xiaochuan's personality very well, and he will not stop playing it. So I had to drag a handful of grass from the ground and hand it to Sun Xiaochuan with both hands: "Master, it's just ten thousand gold, talk about it, and hope that the master will accept it." โ
"Well, how could it be. Sun Xiaochuan waved his hand again and again, "I am a master in the world, how can I be contaminated by this worldly filth, take it back, take it back quickly." โ
Qin Chen stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Why did the master say this, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way." This is not for the master to you, but for the master to steal the substitute for the loss of life of the heavenly machine, and hope that the master will see it. โ
"Well, what you said makes sense, then I'm disrespectful. Sun Xiaochuan stroked the long beard that didn't exist again.
Qin Chen's waist bowed lower, "Then master, is it okay to ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท?"
"Oh, the old man will tell you. โ
Qin Chen's entire face leaned over.
"That is, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. โ
The accumulated anger completely exploded, and Qin Chen gave Sun Xiaochuan a burst as soon as he went up. With one pair of hands, Sun Xiaochuan was knocked down, and the three punches and two punches made Sun Xiaochuan cry and call his mother. Of course, Qin Chen knew that Sun Xiaochuan was pretending, and it wouldn't hurt to hit such a thick fat all over his body.
"Okay, go back to sleep, I don't know when I'll be able to get out of this grassland? Qin Chen stood up and patted the blades of grass on his body.
Just as he was about to go back to the tent to sleep, a small weak voice came from the side: "That, Brother Qin, can you pull me." Qin Chen looked back suspiciously, and Sun Xiaochuan smiled embarrassedly: "I consume too much physical strength during the day, so I eat a little more at night, which causes my body functions to not keep up with the brain operation." โ
As soon as Qin Chen heard it, he knew what was going on, but he couldn't stand up when he was full. No wonder he had no power to fight back when he attacked before.
In desperation, he didn't have the heart to tease him, and stretched out his powerful big hands. However, Qin Chen miscalculated Sun Xiaochuan's weight and the slope ratio of the slope he was on, and the only result was that the two of them rolled down like a leather ball, and they didn't know how many flowers and plants were crushed along the way, and Qin Chen's painful howl sounded at the bottom of the slope at the end.
This can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect! Qin Chen beat Sun Xiaochuan, and Sun Xiaochuan pressed Qin Chen back.
Early the next morning, Qin Chen, who was depressed, set off towards the rising sun with the support of Sun Xiaochuan.
The rising sun was rising, and the golden sunlight shone on their bodies, looking like two golden gods patrolling the world from the front. It's a pity that no one saw this scene, otherwise they would have bowed and worshipped.
Oh no, someone saw it, or can't say it's human.
At the top of the towering peak, the two babies on the strange little tree withdrew their gaze, and the elder brother looked puzzled, and then thought of something, and beckoned to the demon beast with a sycophantic smile on its face bowed in front of him.
The Heavenly Soldier Secret Realm is vast and boundless, although the demon beasts left here are not noble bloodlines, they are just used to guard the palace. But with the abandonment of this place, the ancestor of the demon clan seized the resources for his own use, and gradually became the overlord of this secret realm. However, with the decreasing resources and the increasing lack of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, there are not many demon beasts that open the spiritual intelligence, and most of them are in the company of wild beasts, but the remaining spiritual demon beasts are still lined up from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
However, with the advent of the golden age, the fortune of heaven and earth has changed, and the secret realm has appeared a channel to the outside world, which is a turning point or a crisis of extinction for them, no one can say.
At the top of the mountain, there are only five demon beasts, namely the two-headed snake, the cyan dragon, the white-browed demon ape, the brown bear, and a green luan. They are all powerful people in their respective territories, but at the top of the peak, they all become the size of ordinary people, and the breath on their bodies does not dare to leak out at all, for fear of disturbing the adults. If you miss a big opportunity because of a moment of arrogance, you will regret it for a lifetime.
Although the cold wind had been blowing all night on the top of this mountain, they did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
At this time, they saw the movements of the adults, and each stepped forward at the same time. Qingjiao, who was in the middle, spoke: "Lord Sheluo, I don't know what to order, as long as it is ordered by the adult, even if it is the oil pot on the knife mountain, the little brow will not wrinkle, and the adult's explanation will be completed." The other four looked disdainful, but they didn't expect that what they could say might be even more disgusting than that.
The baby boy on the red fruit smiled like a devil: "Whoever among you can break into the center of Fuxi's tomb and come out without dying, I will give the Sheluo fruit to whomever I want." โ
The faces of the five demon kings turned white.
"Alright, you guys go down the mountain and get ready!" the baby boy waved.
"Yes, Lord Shela. The five demon kings turned around at the same time, but the two-headed snake king among them suddenly paused and left as if nothing happened, and none of his changes were seen by the demons.
At the same time, after a morning of walking, this seemingly boundless grassland finally came to an end, and a different color finally appeared in their field of vision.
"Ha Luha, good luck is back to us, I thought this grassland would not end. "It is said that fat people are more optimistic, look at Sun Xiaochuan's performance, and he is not wrong.
On the edge of the steppe, a Gobi desert appeared, and the wind swept up the yellow sand and swayed unscrupulously throughout the Gobi Desert, as if a lord was patrolling his territory.
The amazing thing is that the yellow sand seems to be violent, but it cannot cross the boundary to reach the grassland, as if there is an invisible barrier blocking the wind and sand. So much so that on the dividing line between the steppe and the Gobi Desert, several feet of yellow sand was piled up.
Sun Xiaochuan threw a small object on the opposite side of the grassland, and then stretched out his hand to the opposite side of the grassland, but there was no problem. It seems that the dead and the living can pass through, and this invisible barrier only blocks the yellow sand.
The seven of them looked at each other, and there was no other way out of the way. Walking to both sides, I don't know when they will be able to get out of this grassland, if it is still the Gobi Desert, it will be bad, and besides, there is not much food on them. Backwards? They've never had the idea of that.
They wrapped themselves tightly in each other's coats, and even wore Chief He's cool sunglasses on their eyes, and plunged headlong into the wind and sand.
Each of the seven had a rope tied around their waists, which were connected together.
The soldier Li Xiangqian is at the front, Sun Xiaochuan is at the back, and there is a heavyweight like Sun Xiaochuan who must not be afraid of any wind and sand. After the seven people plunged into the wind and sand, they found that they had underestimated the wind and sand, and they couldn't see anything clearly in the yellow and misty area around them. Fortunately, the leading soldiers used to conduct exercises in the dark of night in the army, and even if they couldn't see anything, they could still lead everyone step by step with precision.
Suddenly, the seven people felt their bodies lighten, and then they felt the world spinning, and they fainted. From a distance, a super-large tornado can be seen sweeping up seven people, and the seven people are getting smaller and smaller like seven grains of yellow sand, and finally disappearing into the sky without a trace.
At the same time, the ancestor of the Shushan faction who ate mutton steamed buns in the old restaurant in Shaanxi had arrived in the small valley in the Qinling Mountains.
Although the valley was surrounded by soldiers, the ancestor of Shushan still came in without much effort.
Although there were many people in the valley, none of them could see the ancestor of Shushan who was wearing simple clothes.
The ancestor of Shushan looked at the crack in the west of the valley, and a surprised expression appeared on his indifferent face for the first time, "How can it be a secret realm?" I haven't heard that there is a super sect in Qinling that can open up a secret realm since ancient times, could it be that it was opened up by a senior power who I don't know about the Dao, no matter what, the source of my uneasiness is here, let's go first." โ
After speaking, the ancestor of Shushan went in with a dodge.
At the same time as he entered, an old Taoist who looked like the old Taoist priest of Kunlun Mountain also came to this small valley.
After entering, the ancestor of Shushan directly suspended and floated above the forest, looking at the countless waving green vines around him, "Qingteng Demon, it turns out that I have just woken up, if it is in its heyday, I am afraid that I will not be as good as you, but now, let you suffer some hardships." โ
After saying that, he turned around and turned back into the sword immortal who carried the fairy sword. "Qingguang Sword, out of the sheath" with both fingers in the right hand, the fairy sword was unsheathed, and after a circle in the air, it flew into the green vine, and every swing had a powerful sword qi coming out, and in less than half a pillar of incense, the green vine was all broken into two. The rest of the vines shrank back into the depths of the forest.
"Clear light sword, return to the sheath. With a wave of his fingers, the fairy sword flew back into its sheath. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, it was obvious that the seemingly easy spell just now was not easy.
"Alas, I'm getting old, and I'm even struggling to perform the sword, and it seems that death is not far away, hahaha. "Master Shushan obviously knows that he doesn't have much to do, but he looks at everything very lightly.
After clearing the obstacles, the ancestor of Shushan flew out of the forest in the blink of an eye, looked at the endless grassland, lowered his head and thought for a while, and flew to the left.
Qin Chen gradually regained consciousness, feeling that he had a splitting headache, and he didn't know how long it took, he reached out and patted his head, and after standing up with his right hand supporting his body, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
A huge ancient temple stood alone in front of him, exuding immortal divinity all the time, as if it had stood here from the beginning of heaven and earth, until the universe was destroyed and reincarnation was reopened.
The temple stood in the yellow sand, like the mythical and legendary Lingxiao Treasure Palace, which fell into the mortal world.
