Zhao Ning paused for a moment, then turned to make a secret. A ray of spiritual light flew directly over all the stone statues on the street and flew to the stone statue of Tianzun Temple. The statue of Tianzun collapsed in an instant, and the black shadow hidden in the statue suddenly jumped out, searching all over the place. After arriving at the Tianzun Temple, there was still no direction of the evil shadow, which only meant that the evil shadow had been hidden in the Tianzun stone statue.
It's just that he hid it so well that even Zhao Ning hesitated after observing the Tianzun statue for a while until he was interrupted by Lin Rufeng.
The moment the evil shadow rushed out, Lin Rufeng once again used his magical compass. The compass suddenly burst into golden light. The evil shadow was shrouded in the golden light. A violent roar spread throughout the ancient city, followed by the golden light. Expand until it covers the entire ancient city.
The next moment, the world was turned upside down and the world was spinning.
Everything became brighter, and the surroundings became unexpectedly noisy. When I opened my eyes and scanned the surroundings, I found that they seemed to be standing in an ancient city that was three thousand years old.
Luo Tong was extremely scared. Even though he was an extraordinary corpse mover, he was at a loss when he saw the sudden changes in his surroundings. "What's going on?"
Zhao Ning also looked at Lin Rufeng, didn't he say he wanted to see the memory of the evil shadow? Why does it seem to take them to three thousand years ago?
Lin Rufeng said, "The memory of the evil shadow is not complete. We must enter his memory and follow his memory veins to find the moment in the main body's memory."
To put it bluntly, the memory of seeing the shadow of the evil spirit is a soul-searching technique, but it shows such an effect. This magical technique gained insights for a moment, and a trace of hesitation arose.
She glanced at it, but just praised, "Friend Daoist Lin, what a good trick."
The people around them seemed to come to life, but pedestrians on the street couldn't see them at all.
Luo Tong shrank for a moment, hid behind Zhao Ning and pointed in a certain direction, "Look, let me tell you, the people on the ground are all fake, fake."
Zhao Ning turned around and saw someone who looked exactly like Luo Tong not far away.
"That...that was me more than three thousand years ago!"
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, the wind howled, the black clouds pressed overhead, and a huge sense of oppression surged down from above.
Luo Tong from more than three thousand years ago was no longer the focus. The three of them looked up at the same time.
But a black figure appeared in the sky. He was dressed in black robes, standing in the air, with an 'eagle claw' on the back of his left hand.
Zhao Ning's eyes paused. This 'Eagle Claw' didn't seem to be the Choking Claw. Having been grabbed by the Choking Claw, Zhao Ning could clearly feel the weakness and stiffness of the 'Eagle Claw' that appeared at this moment. This was not Choking Claw.
However, as the brilliance on the surface of the 'Eagle Claw' circulated, everyone on the street was frozen, and then everyone began to be stone sealed inch by inch.
"No!" Luo Tong shouted. He wanted to rush out to stop Shi Feng. He didn't want to see the terrifying sight of thousands of stone seals in the ancient underground city again, but Lin Rufeng grabbed his shoulders. He was obviously strong and huge. His body, under Lin Rufeng's suppression, could not move at all.
Lin Rufeng said, "This is what happened more than 3,000 years ago in my memory, and we can't make any changes."
This stone seal... Zhao Ning knew that it was a sign that their time had been deprived of them. In an instant, their bodies had not even had time to decay. It was as if they had been sealed by stone after thousands of years of dust deposition, and became something like amber or Fossil-like stuff.
This 'Eagle Claw' also has the power to control time.
But its power is far from enough for the ancient gods to control the entire length of time.
Only 30% of the power at most. Zhao Ning murmured in her heart, thinking of something at this moment.
The cornucopia seen in the ordinary mountains and forests of Dayue Kingdom is a replica of the cornucopia. Is it possible that this 'Eagle Claw' was made using the yin and yang ritual replica method?
At this time, Luo Tong was struggling and yelled, "Lin Rufeng, you still said that this was not caused by Yang Shen Tianzun. Look, is this guy who uses the weird 'eagle claw' to stone seal everyone?" In the Tianzun Temple, that Yang God who is worshiped by everyone! It was him who caused the trouble! It was he who caused all the weird things in the Yang God Realm today!"
"Shut up, Luo Tong!" Lin Rufeng scolded, "Why don't you open your eyes and look up!!!"
Luo Tong didn't even need to raise his eyes to see, his ears heard another voice, "Damn extraterrestrial devil, you actually once retreated in seclusion and caused trouble in the Yangshen Realm!!!"
This furious voice... Luo Tong was startled. He raised his eyes and saw that another identical Yang Shen Tianzun appeared in the sky.
"Hahahaha, oh, Ye Feng, Ye Feng, why did you come just now? Look, the entire Yang God Realm is almost gone, and my Choking Claw is about to be refined successfully, hahahaha, You should die soon..."
The demon grinned, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and then he used his 'eagle claw' to attack Ye Feng. A strange and mysterious seal appeared behind the demon. At this moment, even Zhao Ning and the three people outside his memory seemed to be separated by time and space. Affected, Zhao Ning and Lin Rufeng had no choice but to resist.
After the seal disappeared, the evil spirit and Ye Feng started fighting fiercely in the sky. The fight at the level of the soul was devastating. The sky was really broken, and the entire ground began to collapse.
Ye Feng seemed to have the intention to stop the world from falling apart, but it was too late. He was dragged into the battle by the demon again.
It was not known how long it took until all the buildings and all living creatures on the ground sank into the ground. Ye Feng gradually gained the upper hand in the battle and finally sealed the evil spirit.
The victorious Ye Feng looked at the destruction of the Yangshen Realm from high in the sky, waving his long sleeves, the ground began to recover, and the buildings were re-erected, but the people could not come back.
He shook his head feebly. An extremely huge magic circle covered the entire Yangshen Realm. Then each soul fell to the ground and gradually turned into a physical entity. It replaced the main body and continued everything in his life, as if this battle had never happened. happened before.
Chapter 167
The immersive scene gradually shattered like a mirror, and the three of them stood motionless.
Lin Rufeng seemed to have expected all this and closed her eyes slightly. Zhao Ning did not seem to be touched and had no expression on his face. Only Luo Tong was trembling all over, with turbulent emotions suppressed.
Until all the pictures had collapsed, they seemed to have returned to the dark ancient city underground from three thousand years ago.
The golden light gradually concentrated on the top of the demon's head. At this moment, Lin Rufeng controlled the compass. With the blessing of the spell, he fought with the shadow of the demon who suddenly woke up. However, the compass was so strange that there was no shadow of the demon at all. There was no room for resistance. After half a cup of tea, wisps of black energy spread out from the demon's shadow. Enveloped in golden light, the black energy seemed to be ignited, making a crackling sound and quickly burned out.
Lin Rufeng put away the compass. As soon as he stopped, Luo Tong rushed forward and grabbed Lin Rufeng's arm tightly.
His emotions had been suppressed to the extreme and finally burst out.
"Is it like this? How could it be like this?! Why is it like this?! The two Yang Shen Tianzun are ridiculous, ridiculous. Have we, the corpse movers, hated the wrong people all this time? Hahaha! Why!"
Lin Rufeng said coldly, "You are just ants among ants. Can you tell the truth? You are just poor people who are blinded by appearances. You have been deceived for three thousand years, and you still hate Yang Shen Tianzun. The Heavenly Lord who saves you and gives you life, ha."
He sneered, and the laughter pierced Luo Tong's mind like a cold arrow.
Luo Tong let go of Lin Rufeng's arm and gradually collapsed on the ground.
"Repay kindness with hatred, haha, it's us you're talking about."
Luo Tong held his head and saw the memory of the demon. The memory in his mind seemed to explode, constantly criticizing him for doing so many stupid things in so many years.
"what should we do?"
I don't know how long it took, but Luo Tong finally found a trace of reason in his emotional breakdown. Maybe he needed something to make himself calmer, just like Lin Rufeng, who still held on to a trace of trust when his faith collapsed, and finally he found it. the truth.
Luo Tong tried to make up for it, "Do what we can do to reverse the current situation and turn the Yangshen Realm into the Yangshen Realm a hundred years ago."
He looked at Lin Rufeng and then at Zhao Ning.
Zhao Ning has been silent since she came out of the memory of the evil shadow. When she felt Luo Tong's gaze, she didn't express much. She only looked at the countless frozen stone statues in the ancient city square under the illumination of the palace lantern. He didn't seem to want to participate in their conversation.
Lin Rufeng said, "Time has been accelerated over the past hundred years, which means that the Claw of Choking, the claw-shaped spiritual weapon held by the evil devil on his left hand, has reappeared in the Yangshen realm. Yangshen Tianzun has left a hundred years ago. In the Yangshen Realm, if we want to solve this matter, we must rely on ourselves, and the root lies in this spiritual claw."
Even though Zhao Ning knew that this spiritual claw was not the real Choking Claw, even the demon seemed to have been deceived. In his memory, he firmly believed that this was the Choking Claw and could control time.
But if you think about it carefully, you will know that it takes a hundred years for the body part of the ancient god who controls the power of time to control the time of a small Yang Shen realm.
"You mean, we want to find this thing?" Luo Tong murmured, "But this thing couldn't be separated from the evil demon when Yang Shen Tianzun sealed it. What can we do? If we find this thing, we will find it. Even Yang Shen Tianzun can't kill the evil demon, so what can we do?"
But Lin Rufeng said, "Who said that thing can't be separated from the evil spirit? Now I suspect that the evil spirit hid the spiritual claw before being sealed, or that it sent the spiritual claw to our current time and space, which caused Yang There is no way for God God to get back that spiritual claw."
Luo Tong was shocked by his statement, but then he immediately recognized this statement. By the way, with Yang Shen Tianzun's power to destroy the world, how could he not deal with the spiritual claws and let this If the spiritual claw remains in the hands of the evil demon or remains in the Yangshen Realm, it can only be because the spiritual claw is no longer in that time and space at that time.
"Let's find a way to find it!" Luo Tong said very firmly.
Lin Rufeng looked at Zhao Ning again, "Miss Lin, what do you think?"
"Of course we have to find it. Now that things have come to this point, we must find the soul to calm everything down." Zhao Ning said lightly. She looked at Lin Rufeng, her eyes were deep and her mood was stable. No one could guess what was in her heart. What was she thinking, she asked Lin Rufeng, "What if I find the spiritual claw? What should I do?"
Zhao Ning knew it was too early to ask these things, but Zhao Ning had a vague hunch that this thing would be found sooner or later.
Just listen to Lin Rufeng say, "If my guess is correct, Miss Lin came from outside the sky."
Zhao Ning didn't say a word and didn't express anything. He just waited for Lin Rufeng's next words. Lin Rufeng said, "Only Miss Lin can get the Claw of Choking, enter it, and completely seal the evil spirit."
"You mean, the key to the evil seal is under that building."
"Yes. At least there was no building wood in the picture just now, right? This means there must be something abnormal about this thing."
Zhao Ning paused, then nodded in agreement.
"What should we do now?" Luo Tong asked, and Lin Rufeng looked around, "All time underground has been sealed. There are only memories of the past here. If we can't find any clues, we should go back Went up there.”
Lin Rufeng said to Zhao Ning again, "Miss Lin is an out-of-this-world person. The people at Fengshen Palace respect Miss Lin very much and asked Miss Lin to arrange this matter for Fengshen Palace."
Zhao Ning nodded.
The two of them looked at Luo Tong. Luo Tong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized something. He shook the bell gently in his hand. At this time, all the Yin spirit items around him returned to their original positions, and in the darkness of the sky, levels one after another suddenly appeared. The steps were laid down.
"You can go up along this long staircase." Luo Tong said, and then he stepped onto the first level of the long staircase. At this moment, he was still thinking in his heart that this was probably the first time in his life that he could not carry a stone statue. Go to the ground, not now nor ever again.
At this moment, the back of his neck suddenly tightened, and he was pulled directly into the sky. "Hey, hey, hey," he shouted a few times. After finally regaining consciousness, he realized that it was Lin Rufeng who was pulling him up. , Luo Tong is not stupid. He knows that it will take at least half a year to climb the stone steps alone. Under the leadership of the immortal, they will be able to return to the top soon.
The long steps went up step by step, gradually disappearing into the darkness. Zhao Ning landed on a high step, holding a palace lantern and looking down. Everything in the past was gradually covered by the hazy light, seemingly bright. But it was still faintly covered with a layer of veil.
Above, Lin Rufeng saw that Zhao Ning did not follow, so she stopped on the long steps and shouted, "Miss Lin, what's wrong? Why don't you leave?"
"Nothing." Zhao Ning responded lightly, flew up again, and chased after him.
A month later, the three of them returned to the surface again.
This place is no longer in the desert. When teleporting underground, Zhao Ning has left the scope of the desert and is on the outskirts of the ancient city when he passes through the heavenly steps of the ancient city.
From a distance, you can also see the new name of the ancient city three thousand years later, called "Yelan City".
Luo Tong sat on the ground with weak legs. It usually took half a year to climb the long steps, but he finished it in a month. During this month, Luo Tong's feet rarely landed on the long steps. Most of the time, he just climbed the long steps. He paused for a moment, unable to even take a few steps, which made him forget the feeling of the soles of his feet touching the ground for a moment.
At this moment, the soles of my feet hit the ground, and the mistiness finally fell, giving me a down-to-earth feeling.
Zhao Ning raised her head. It was at dawn. Among the Tai Chi Yin and Yang fishes in the sky, only the Yin fish was swimming. After a few hours, the Yang fish slowly woke up, and the light would shine on this "real or unreal" land. , in the realm of Yang Shen who says falsehood is not false.
"Do you two immortal masters want to come and sit at my house? My house is on the outskirts of the city." Lin Rufeng glanced at Luo Tong, who smiled and said, "Every time, the stone statue has to be brought up, even though it is wrapped in clothes. , but it was inappropriate to enter the city like this, so I simply made do with it in the wild. We couldn’t stay up there for long anyway, so we spent most of the time walking step by step on the long steps.”
I don't know why such words made Lin Rufeng's expression a little ugly. Luo Tong looked at it and quickly realized it, "Master Lin Xian, don't be angry. Look at me at my age, and I have never moved a few stone statues." .”
He counted on his fingers, "Seven, eight, nine... Well, it seems there are at least twelve."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Rufeng's face became even more ugly.
Luo Tong admired Lin Rufeng even more. He thought that Lin Rufeng's attitude must be because these twelve stone statues represented the dissipation of the twelve souls. He turned around and his face fell, yes. , it was he who caused all this and destroyed twelve souls, but he still maintained his original view in his heart. Even if he misunderstood Yang Shen Tianzun, it did not mean that these souls would really have to suffer three thousand years of torture.
He glanced away and began to waver in this thought.
"Yangshen Tianzun used a large magic circle to leave all the souls in the Yangshen Realm on the ground. There must be other arrangements." Zhao Ning didn't know whether she was trying to appease Luo Tong or was saying something secretly. She looked at Lin Rufeng, " If I ascend to the ninth floor of the Jianmu Tongtian Ladder, I wonder if there is a way to return the Yangshen Realm to normal, at least it won’t happen again like this.”
Lin Rufeng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head, "I don't know these situations now. Maybe I won't know whether this formation can be changed until Miss Lin reaches the ninth floor."
Zhao Ning was not surprised by Lin Rufeng's answer. She just nodded slightly. She thought for a while and looked at Luo Tong, "Master Luo is not a cultivator. I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for you to find the spiritual claws, but Master Luo still has one more thing to do." It can only be done by you.”
Luo Tong's eyes lit up. It was an affirmation that he could help him. He was very eager to know. Zhao Ning said, "Go tell the other corpse movers about this. Only you know about other corpse movers in the Yangshen Realm." The whereabouts of the corpse movers, and they only trust their companions. Don’t let any more Shi Feng’s corpses be moved up.”
Since at this time, if we can prevent these souls from dissipating, then we can reduce them by one.
Lin Rufeng also nodded and told Luo Tong, "There is no need to hide it from them. The more you hide it, the less thorough the truth will be, and it will make them question you." He still emphasized, "There can be no more souls because of contact. The stone statues dissipated, not a single one of them can survive!”
