Gu Jianlin always remained silent, because at the moment when the electric light crossed the sky, the quiet shrine was illuminated, and he could see the bones of the ancient dragon entwined on the gilded dome, and the majestic silhouette was painted on the screen wall. Like dragons boiling in a sea of blood, there are only two colors: black and red, as if there is some kind of magic.
When the wind blows, the charms in this shrine tremble with the wind, and the wind chimes sway.
The ancient stone carvings stand in the shrine, looking down pitifully like giants from myths. Their bodies are wrapped with ferocious ancient dragons, and the stern dragon boys seem to be staring at the trespassers.
Only the dark coffin was silent, but the paintings on the coffin lid were horrifying. They were red dragons and cyan unicorns strangled together. The overwhelming anger poured down like lava, and the earth seemed to be burned to ashes. At the end, the ancient thunder ripped apart the earth, and the lightning and thunder illuminated the hellish world.
I don’t know what kind of masterful painter can draw such a violent beauty.
The ancient and the severe, the violent and the strange, are completely melted together.
As he stared at the old shrine, footsteps sounded in the courtyard.
Jiang Mingyan walked through the tree-lined path without squinting her eyes from beginning to end. Even with her status in the Jiang family, she had never been to the old house a few times, let alone the things in the old shrine.
He was her brother in name, but the age difference between them was too big.
When Jiang Mingyan was born, her god-like brother had passed away many years ago. She grew up listening to those mythical legends, and was filled with awe of the name Red King.
What's more, even as a dead person, he is such an evil thing.
"Don't look around. The rules here are very strict. Don't think you can be like him."
She lowered her voice and said coldly: "This is your first time coming to the old house, which proves that the Jiang family has recognized your talent and lineage. Your grandfather is willing to share his secrets with you, and you are officially his child. "
Who cares?
Yue Ji was naturally reluctant, but before coming to the old house, the Si family sent someone to inform her and told her to think about the overall situation, so she restrained her temper. She knew that now was not the time to be rebellious.
Since she was going to meet her eccentric grandfather, her makeup and dress had to be appropriate. She rarely wore short platinum hair tied up with an ancient and exquisite butterfly hairpin. She wore a loose white yukata with a tie around her waist. A huge black bow, and a pair of wooden clogs.
The reason why he was dressed like this was so that his grandfather would not feel threatened.
Jiang Chunyang is very afraid of strong women, which is caused by his past experiences.
This is not difficult to figure out, because everyone knows who the strong woman who left a shadow on him is.
In Jiang Chunyang's eyes, women in Yingzhou are always docile and docile, and never dare to disobey him.
The courtyard was filled with gloomy winds, like a gloomy and evil haunted house.
Tsukiji was secretly angry. Every time that guy left her sight, he would cause trouble.
Originally, she was worried that he was being held hostage by a bad woman, but she didn't expect that he would change his identity and pretend to be the young master of the Si family, and dare to come to the Jiang family's territory to negotiate with her grandfather.
And she never thought that after being a concubine for so many years, she came to the Jiang family's old house for the first time, and her identity problem was easily solved because of that guy's words.
However, at this moment, she seemed to notice something, and a trace of surprise flashed in her cold eyes.
"I can share my secret with you. From now on, you will be a member of my Jiang family, and you will no longer be able to escape the relationship with the dark world. There is a difference. You and I become a grasshopper on the same rope. Before, you might have had the right to surrender, but after you see that thing, those people won't give you a chance."
Jiang Chunyang stared at his painting, his voice sounded like he was chewing bones, making his scalp numb.
The so-called group of people are naturally the people of the Ether Association.
"Is that so?"
Gu Jianlin finally moved his eyes away from the shrine, and there was already a cold body fragrance coming from behind.
That's a familiar smell.
Yue Ji bent her knees and sat next to him, her frosty little face expressionless, she just glanced at him.
His eyes were clear, but seemed cold.
Gu Jianlin nodded slightly. There was no need to explain the tacit understanding between brother and sister. One look could confirm many things.
Anyway, everyone is fine.
As for why this girl keeps turning away from him, that's not what we should consider now.
Jiang Mingyan did not follow. She also stopped outside the pavilion and glanced coldly at the old man beside her.
Old Master Si, leaning on a cane in his hand, responded indifferently.
The former means that the old guy is so lucky, and the Si family is finally going to prosper.
The latter means that your life as a woman is really good. If your daughter turns into a phoenix, you will also benefit from it.
Everyone in this old house seems to have their own agenda.
"I know that many people in this world are waiting for me to die and want to pry into my secrets."
Jiang Chunyang laughed hoarsely: "It's nothing more than wanting my son's inheritance. In fact, what he left behind is his body. This is a priceless treasure and contains endless secrets."
Tsukiji saw her grandfather for the first time, and she didn't expect him to be such a ghastly and terrifying person.
It looked like an evil spirit and made her skin crawl.
"You don't sound like you love your son very much."
Gu Jianlin stared at him and said word by word, "But I thought he was something."
Jiang Chunyang threw his head back and laughed. His laughter was like the howl of a ghost, which made the birds in the forest flap their wings and fly away: "Of course, you don't know what they are at all. They are the most terrifying monsters in the world. There are. Who would fall in love with a monster? People only have awe or fear of monsters! Those brothers are so scary."
The old man's right hand holding the paintbrush paused slightly and asked: "Do you know about the Starry Sky Project?"
No one expected that he would ask such a weird question, and they were all stunned for a moment.
"The launch of the Star Space Project back then was our preparation to deal with the doomsday crisis that mankind was about to face. Based on the prophecies, we found the two most talented young people in history and gave them code names."
He said faintly: "One is named Qing, and the other is named Chi. These are rare human beings in the world who can rival the gods. You can't imagine how much spiritual power they possess when they awaken. We trained them, and when they were ten years old That year, they were sent into space to search for traces of the ancient gods on extraterrestrial planets.”
"It turns out that with Qing and Chi's abilities, they can do anything together. The brothers traveled in space for 346 days and finally arrived at a deserted planet."
Jiang Chunyang admired his paintings and said with emotion: "No one knows what these two brothers found on that desolate planet, but when they returned, everything changed. Before going to space, they were still a pair of ignorant people. They were immature children. But when they returned to Earth, they became weird and deep."
"I still remember the way these two senior brothers looked at us."
He said to himself: "There is no emotion in Qing's eyes, but Chi's eyes are playful and evil, like a pair of twins poking at an ant nest, overlooking the stupid ants crawling under their feet."
"There is no doubt that we are ants, and they are human beings like gods. No one knows what they have experienced. In less than a year, they have been beyond our control. You can't imagine, The moment the cabin door opened, the feeling of oppression that hit my face was so overwhelming that I couldn't even guess their rank."
"That's a ten-year-old boy. What were you two doing when you were ten years old? Qing and Chi seemed to have changed into different people, with their own thoughts and purposes. They became more and more extreme, and became more and more extreme. There is a danger of development. Of course, they have also made huge contributions to the world and single-handedly promoted the development of human civilization."
He paused: "But I always feel that they are hiding something. They are hiding a huge secret. This secret is enough to make the world crazy and even make the gods move!"
The old man suddenly raised his head and turned the painting in front of the boy and girl.
"It wasn't until the brothers broke up that I figured out where they had gone."
Jiang Chunyang's eyes were like flickering will-o'-the-wisps, and he whispered: "Look, what is this?"
There is no doubt that this old man is a top painter. What he depicts is a desolate planet. The dry and cracked ground is covered with wind and sand. Lava gushes out from the dry cracks. An upside-down pyramid stands on the dry earth. , the huge stone steps seem endless, like the road leading to the mausoleum.
Yue Ji's beautiful eyes were slightly cold because she had seen the pyramid in this painting.
What is recorded in Mr. Solomon’s computer is this pyramid!
Gu Jianlin's right hand on his knee flicked like an electric shock.
"After my many years of research, I would like to call it the Divine Ruins, the old land of the ancient gods."
Jiang Chunyang showed a creepy smile: "This is the place where Qing and Chi have arrived, the hometown of the ancient gods, the place where everything originated, but now it appears on the second floor of the Qilin Immortal Palace. The reason why Lord Qilin is special , because she is the last inheritor of the ancient divine civilization and the master of it. When the Black Supreme returns, the history of hundreds of millions of years will be ended, and a new era will be opened. "
"This is what was written in my son's suicide note. In fact, I don't know what he left behind, because I can't pry open a dead man's mouth. I can only send him to the gods to wait for a miracle. 's arrival."
He grabbed the wooden box on the stone table, with a smile that was extremely charming, and suppressed laughter in his voice: "This is my secret, and of course I won't tell you so easily."
The old man took out a strange yellowed talisman from his pocket, handed it to him, and sneered: "Next, we have to use blood as a guide to sign an oath. I will integrate this talisman into As long as you reveal my secret in your body, the dark power contained in the talisman will swallow you up."
So far, he has not looked at the wooden box containing the lotus petals of Nether Ying.
Instead, he stared at the young man in front of him.
Yue Ji's eyes changed slightly. This kind of talisman was obviously not the so-called spiritual binding oath.
It's a monitor in disguise.
As long as it is attached to your body and you tell the secret, it will be sensed.
Jiang Chunyang is a ninth-level Taiyi God, and the dark energy he exerts is enough to easily kill a super-dimensional person!

"Can."
Gu Jianlin remained calm, biting his finger without hesitation and squeezing out blood on the yellowed talisman paper.
The bright red blood smeared on the talisman paper, outlining strange patterns.

The overpass of Shinjuku Station was illuminated by neon lights, and some people looked at the busy traffic on the street in silence.
He was like a silent statue, hidden in the shadows of the street corner. Occasionally, girls in uniforms holding coffee passed by. They were chatting and laughing without seeming to notice that there was another person in the corner.
The traffic lights changed monotonously on the street, the turbulent traffic stopped abruptly, and the crowd filled the air like a tide.
Everything was so orderly, as if any individual existence would be submerged in the crowd.
The boy with his whole body covered in mist knocked on the wall and stared at the night city.
There was a mobile phone in his pocket, and the screen displayed an hour-long communication.
This was Gu Jianlin's shadow, which had been gathered unconsciously before he arrived at the old house. He easily avoided the Jiang family's eyes and came to a relatively safe place, taking his mobile phone with him.
Senses and consciousness are shared between the body and the shadow.
Across the overlapping time and space, he got in touch with that mysterious department again.
All the conversations in the old house were transmitted by him in the form of cipher text.
The so-called blood oath is not a threat to him.
Because before he signed the oath, he had already revealed the secret.
After the oath was signed, he would naturally remain tight-lipped.

Late at night, it started to rain.
Jing Ci held a black umbrella, stepped through the ripples in the rain, and pushed open the door of the grocery store.
Huaiyin is still lying in the wheelchair. He is obviously more than 200 years old, but he puts his hands behind his head and stares at the antique calligraphy and paintings in the store like a teenager, as if he is recalling the old days.
"came back?"
The old man said calmly.
Jing Ci nodded slightly, shook off the water on the umbrella, put the umbrella in the umbrella stand, and said calmly: "I just came back from Jiang's house. This time I finally figured out everything I wanted to know."
Huaiyin hummed, without any unnecessary emotion in his eyes.
"Is the so-called Shenxu really that magical?"
Jing Ci said softly: "It looks like just a mysterious pyramid."
Huaiyin smiled silently: "We thought so at the beginning, but only after we actually stepped into the pyramid-like mausoleum, we were surprised to find... that we had arrived in the era of the ancient gods a billion years ago."
He paused: "The era of the last supreme being."
Boom.
The thunder was rolling in the sky, as if it was blasting the dark city.
