Although Yao Mengxun had a casual attitude of doing nothing before, she still seemed to be very curious about some of the truth hidden in the core of this monument.
"I have a hunch that what is hidden behind the stone gate may be the biggest secret in the thirty-three realms."
"yes!"
Looking at Yao Mengxun, who was even more beautiful than the sect leader, Lu Donglin replied excitedly.
Immediately, Yao Mengxun turned back again. With her back to Lu Donglin, her pear blossoms suddenly opened, and she suddenly asked:
"How is the young man named Qingyun doing for me? I heard that the demon saint is also looking for him."
Hearing this, Lu Donglin's still intoxicated face seemed to stiffen, his eyes flashed with an imperceptible haze, and he leaned over and said:
"Back to my uncle, my nephew learned from other monks that the identity of the young man is unknown. He was suspected to have appeared in the ancient city last time. It is said that Xiao Luoyi, one of the Four Immortals at that time, tried to save the young man by blocking the sword with his body. He died, and then Xiao Luoyi’s body disappeared in the young man’s arms, and there has been no news since then. However, my nephew feels that those who colluded with the Juexian sect are probably not good people.”
Hearing this, Yao Mengxun's willow eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly, but he didn't say much and said calmly:
"Okay, continue to pay attention to me. You go ahead and do your work. I'll take a rest."
"yes!"
After Lu Donglin bowed and retreated, Yao Mengxun seemed to have dropped the pretentious majesty he had just shown, and exhaled a long breath of turbid air in his chest:
"Huh~"
She gently twirled her hair around her ears, her slender eyelashes kept flickering, and then she stretched out her green jade fingers, as if counting something in detail, and the corners of her mouth also sketched out something more beautiful than poetry and painting. Have a moving smile.
But then, a hint of annoyance flashed across Fairy Yao's face. She touched the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant hidden at her waist, and saw her elegant red lips slightly pursed, as if in the mountain breeze with some fragrant grass. There came her murmuring through clenched silver teeth:
"Humph, Xiaoyun'er, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are very capable!"
"Ah sneeze~"
Xiao Luoyi leaned his cheek against Qingyun's forehead and asked doubtfully:
"Have you caught a cold?"
"Isn't it true? Ah Zhi~ I don't know who is cursing the young master, Ah Zhi~"
Qingyun drained the last drop of the enemy's blood from Zangfeng and spat viciously. This was already the fourth wave of monks they had encountered in recent days.
The unlucky two had never met any chance that belonged to them, so they had to move slowly towards the core of the monument. However, with the passage of time and distance, the monks fighting them became stronger and stronger, and became more and more unreasonable.
Among these four waves of monks, apart from being able to communicate normally when they met for the first time, they also got into a fight after a disagreement. The remaining dozen or so were almost all sneak attacks, with only one purpose:
White jade pendant!
"Sister, their methods are too vicious, aren't they? Why don't they let people live?"
Putting down his sword, Qingyun asked Xiao Luoyi doubtfully.
Witch Xiao was currently counting the trophies handed over by Qingyun. How could she have time to answer his questions? She said absently:
"Oh, not bad."
In her heart, she was actually praising Qilin Qiu happily!
This magical power usually doesn't seem to be of much use. At most, it heals injuries faster. Unexpectedly, the ability to erase the marks of essence and blood is also very useful!
"With Little Guitou, I will no longer have to worry about being unable to open the treasure bag when killing people and setting fires."
Witch Xiao secretly rejoiced happily.
"What do you mean it's okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Qingyun was speechless.
After a while, Xiao Luoyi turned around with satisfaction and asked:
"What did you say?"
Speechless for the second time.
"I think these forces are too insidious. Collecting the white jade pendant is like collecting protection money. If you pay it, you can join the association and get blessings. If you can't pay it, you will die."
Xiao Luoyi looked at Qingyun as if he were an idiot and said coldly:
"What's this? There are so many cruel things like this in the world of cultivation. Do you think that destroying families and sects at every turn is just groundless? Do you know why Qian Wu and Yao Pofeng both chose to look for opportunities on their own instead of going to the core of the ancient ruins?"
"Are you trying to use Bai Zhi as a gunman?"
Qingyun replied subconsciously.
"I knew you were still asking! They just want to use Bai Zhizheng to explore Jing Citian's true strength first, and then reap the benefits after both parties suffer. Their calculations are smarter than anyone else's."
Xiao Luo said, and after finishing speaking, he did not forget to add:
"It's just pediatrics!"
Qingyun was silent.
In fact, the lies he spun randomly caused countless deaths and injuries, but he just put himself on the moral high ground.
After sorting out the various belongings, Xiao Luo asked, looking at Qingyun who was still wiping his sword:
"How's Zang Feng doing? Still can't imprint the essence and blood mark?"
Being interrupted by her, Qingyun remembered this matter and said with some distress:
"Yeah, for some reason, I started trying it the day Brother Jiang left. Even though the essence and blood were absorbed by it when it was dropped, there was no reaction at all, and there was no feeling at all like using arms and fingers. Did Brother Jiang give me a set of dentures?"
"Won't."
Xiao Luoyi said briefly.
She also checked the Zangfeng for Qingyun, and naturally knew that this sword was an authentic sword passed down from the Master of the Juexian Sect. However, she knew very little about sword repair and sword-making, so she could not answer the question for Qingyun, so she had to say again:
"This situation may be because Zang Feng has a very weak spirituality, which you cannot fully control with your current cultivation level. Let's go, we will arrive at the Spirit Mirror Sacrifice in ten miles. I heard that a lot of monks have gathered there. "
Qingyun was not discouraged when he heard this, he turned around and said with a smile:
"Okay~"
The Spirit Mirror Sacrifice is an ancient heritage place they learned from the monks who raided it. According to what the monks who knew a little bit about ancient texts deciphered, there is a precious mirror hidden inside, which can connect yin and yang, know cause and effect, and distinguish authenticity. Knowing the past and present, it is an out-and-out sacred object.
Those monks who could not join the large army without the white jade pendant, or who were confident in themselves and did not bother to snatch the unicorn tooth, naturally flocked to this equally precious treasure.
Of course, what is matched by chance and good fortune has always been a near-death crisis, and those monks who have been buried in it should be the ones who have the most say.
Different from the core of the ancient ruins and the ancient inheritance place where Qian Wu and Yao Pofeng were located, perhaps because the inheritance of the core of the ancient ruins was touched, countless new huge cracks opened around the Spirit Mirror Sacrifice.
With the creation of the cracks in the ground, hot magma flowed everywhere, and the air was filled with hot inflammatory poison. Just one breath of it would burn people's lungs.
If one does not have advanced cultivation and body skills in the Hundred Meridians Realm, it is difficult to avoid the double invasion of fire poison and magma by relying solely on internal circulation. If one is not careful, one will fall into it and be destroyed physically and mentally.
Even if a monk in the Yuan Hua Realm wants to enter the Spirit Mirror Sacrifice with the help of a protective spirit shield, he will die without a burial if he is careless. This shows how dangerous this path of magma is.
Of course, this is not a big problem for Witch Xiao and Master Qingyun.
After a period of "restrained" practice, Xiao Luoyi's cultivation level has recovered to about 10%. Although the speed is slow, at least it makes her happy to see hope.
If she were to face Luo Yixian, whom she met some time ago, she would have a slight chance of winning, let alone this mere magma.
As for Qingyun, his hundreds of meridians have already been penetrated, and all he needs is the accumulation of spiritual power, as well as the understanding and application of Taoism. In addition, he has a purple gold inner elixir that is invulnerable to all poisons, and small inflammation poisons have no effect on him.
However, before they got closer, the two heard the sound of fighting coming from inside. It was obvious that it was most likely that the monks among them were fighting for the treasure.
The two of them had already changed their appearance before and calmly blended into the crowd in the cave.
I saw that the huge cave was already decorated with brilliant lights of all kinds of luminous pearls. I don’t know if everyone raised funds to build it, or if the Spirit Mirror Festival was inlaid with so many orbs when it was first established.
The bluestone steps in the corridor have also been stepped on until they are shiny, which shows that monks have been going here for a long time.
"Holy crap, isn't it too luxurious? Just one of these must be worth at least dozens of low-grade spiritual stones, right?"
Looking at so many luminous pearls inlaid on the wall in an orderly manner, Qingyun couldn't help but wanted to touch them with his hands, but was pushed back by Xiao Luo with a snap, and he saw her angry Bai Bai. He glanced at it and spat:
"Little money lover."
When they reached the bottom of the cave, the two of them took a closer look and saw that dozens of monks were blocking the way in front of them. At the front, there was a round platform like a competition ground, on which there were two Hundred Meridians Realm monks. Fighting.
There were several Yuan Hua Realm monks standing outside the round platform, who seemed to be referees, and also seemed to be ensuring that the aftermath of the fight between the two would not affect everyone.
As for the back of the round platform, there is a huge ring-shaped stone wall several feet high!
Various lifelike pictures are engraved on the stone wall with that antique yellow-brown paint.
There are scenes showing ancient humans hunting, there are also scenes depicting worshiping the immortals in the clouds at that time, and there are even scenes of the immortals fighting huge monsters.
Countless years have passed, and Qingyun seems to still be able to see the awe and fear in the faces of the people in the murals at that time.
Due to the age, most of the content on the murals has become blurry, but in the center of the stone wall, there are still clearly visible twenty or thirty circles of uncertain brightness and darkness surrounding it.
Everyone has speculated that this huge ring pattern probably represents the so-called "spiritual mirror".
However, perhaps later humans invented writing, and there are many obscure symbols engraved under the murals.
According to the translation by monks who have some knowledge of ancient texts, the content roughly describes the process of ancestors worshiping the spiritual realm, including: greeting, worshiping dance, spiritual food, and gratitude;
After the exploration of the first monks, they discovered that the so-called "flattery" refers to using spiritual power to light up all the night pearls in the corridor, thereby activating the hidden mechanisms in the Spirit Mirror Sacrifice.
