Chen Tao looked at the stone pillars near the altar with some disbelief.
The pillars are coiled with circles of strangely shaped black branches, all carved from black jade and inlaid with various colored gemstones. The ends of the branches were symmetrically arranged on both sides of the golden pillar. The top of each side held a silver plate full of patterns, and a delicate little lamp stood on the plate.
The shape of the small lamp is very peculiar. Four silver rats engraved with gold and jade hold up four pairs of forelimbs, and eight small paws hold up a small lamp.
The small lamp was covered with yellow sand. Chen Tao almost trembled and pushed aside the sand on the lamp plate, his face turned pale.
He stumbled backwards step by step. If Haozi hadn't supported him behind him, he would have almost fallen off the altar.
Back in the canyon of Heizigou, Chen Tao inexplicably heard the girl's call, and then he fell into an extremely strange illusion.
And the altar he saw in the illusion now really appeared in front of him.
How is all this possible!
The Grand Canyon under Heizigou and here. What kind of connections are there!
Chen Tao stepped onto the altar step by step as if he had lost his soul. When he saw the human skin figurines with rat heads and human bodies on the altar, he felt his legs weaken and he sat on the ground.
Haozi thought something had happened to Chen Tao, so he quickly helped him up from the ground. Looking at Chen Tao's ugly expression, he couldn't help but ask.
"Taozi, what's wrong with you!"
Chen Tao stared blankly at the human skin figurines, and it took him a long time to regain his senses.
He waved his hand at Haozi, indicating that he was fine, and then stood up from the ground.
On top of the pedestal is a crystal sarcophagus carved from a single piece of jade. Yan and the others are already thinking of ways to open the coffin.
The crystal coffin as a whole shows a dark green color. Although it is located deep in the desert, there is a layer of gray-white mist surrounding the crystal coffin.
Through the crystal jade material, you can vaguely see a graceful figure inside.
Against the background of the surrounding firelight, the faces of several people were dyed with a layer of green light, making them look like dead people.
Cluck cluck...
With the sound of the coffin lid rubbing, Ah Cheng slowly pushed the coffin lid open.
Chen Tao stared straight into the sarcophagus. In the cold air, a half-naked girl in plain clothes was lying flat on the jade bed.
The girl's face was rosy and her expression was gentle, as if she had just fallen asleep. There was only a light layer of white sand wrapped around her chest and waist, and little bits of spring light were faintly visible. Wearing an exquisitely carved silver crown on her head, each flower was plated with gold, and the petals were inlaid with tiny gems. A head of black hair slid down her shoulders and spread under the girl's slender waist.
The girl has fair skin and is as smooth as jade. She wears four shiny silver thin bracelets on her wrists and ankles. Her hands were quietly clasped on her lower abdomen, and her slender jade legs were so holy that no one dared to desecrate them.
The girl's red lips raised slightly, with a sweet smile on her face.
Smile, eyes slightly closed, long eyelashes are beautiful, standing like a row of early spring buds, as if they will open their eyes at any time.
Everyone fell silent as they looked at the cute and delicate sleeping elf on the bed.
In front of her, even Ye Rong and Ye Ling'er seemed inferior.
As for the miko, the two are completely different styles.
Under such holiness, the hotness of the miko is simply unbearable.
Everyone was stunned, except Chen Tao, whose eyes were straightened and a chill ran through his body.
"How is this possible!" Chen Tao couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Thousands of miles away in the Heizigou Man-eating Valley, the illusion here actually appeared.
All of this simply cannot be explained by common sense!
"This is Saint Natissa!" Balohad knelt on the ground with a thud, his voice trembling.
Looking at the otherwise earthly saint in the jade coffin, Chen Tao's heart suddenly seemed to be hit hard by something. He couldn't help but feel the blood rising. There seemed to be another thought in his mind that wanted to break through. out.
"Natisa..."
Chen Tao's voice became hoarse and heavy, as if he had aged thousands of years in an instant.
Under everyone's stunned eyes, Chen Tao walked step by step to the jade coffin, stretched out his hand and touched the girl's rosy cheeks.
A crystal teardrop fell from Chen Tao's eyes. At that moment, the entire hall seemed to become brighter.
Everyone seemed to see a bright white light emitting from the jade coffin, surrounding the girl and Chen Tao.
In the shining light, two phantoms seemed to rise. A handsome but somewhat mature long-haired man took the girl's hand and slowly rose to the top of the hall.
The light group rose slowly, the dazzling light blinding everyone, and finally disappeared on the dark roof of the temple.
The hall instantly became dark.
Everyone rubbed their eyes and looked into the jade coffin, only to see that the coffin was empty except for a handful of golden yellow sand.
Everyone was shocked by the strange scene before, not knowing whether it was an illusion or reality.
Chen Tao was lying on the wall of the jade coffin, his hair turned gray, and there were tears hanging on his eyelashes.
No one knows what just happened.
Ye Ling'er knelt down and carefully checked Chen Tao's breath, and then put down the worry on her face.
At that moment, Chen Tao seemed to have traveled through time and space and became another person.
That person's name is Qianshu Hongde.
In order to find a way to defeat his senior brother Hao Yu Gongshen, he led several disciples into the vast sea of sand.
After many lives and deaths, seeking the truth is hopeless.
The disciples fell one after another, and in the end, only the strong arc shadow was left, stumbling on the long sand dunes.
But in the end, he fell.
When he woke up, he was already lying on a soft gauze bed.
There is a faint and intoxicating fragrance floating around.
"Hello...Hello, my name is...Natisa!"
in front of
The girl, delicate and lovely, explained to him bit by bit in very unskilled Chinese how she found him in the desert and brought him back to Tatunaan.
Because she was afraid of being held accountable by her strict father, she could only hide in her boudoir quietly.
Day after day, Qianshu Hongde gradually recovered under the girl's careful care.
When the girl blushed and said she would take him to see her father, the thirty-year-old man blushed for the first time.
Sure enough, the girl was severely reprimanded by her father and put Qianshu Hongde in jail.
At this time, he realized that this girl who was as beautiful as a fairy was actually a princess of a country and the highest-status woman in Tatunaan.
And he was just a wandering warlock.
Natissa risked betraying the entire clan, stole the king's secret spell, killed the king's most loyal guard, and released him.
"Don't come back, forget me, never come back!"
The night in the desert is cold and sad.
Natysha's voice echoed behind Qianshu Hongde for a long time.
Under the silver light, the girl was as pure as the bright moon, like a dazzling flower blooming on the sand dunes, breathtakingly beautiful.
As he wished, he defeated Hao Yu Gongshen and eradicated the evil cult. As a result, he was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
When he once again appeared in that glorious country deep in the desert, the past was still vivid in his mind.
Only this time, he was honored by the emperor and was treated as a distinguished guest to establish good relations between the two countries.
She stood beside Qian Shu Hongde, her head buried deeply, not daring to look at him again.
Qianshu Hongde later learned that the princess had been given a marriage to the great wizard of the dynasty.
As a distinguished guest, he was cordially invited.
During the wedding, the two people's eyes never separated. At the last moment, Qian Shuhongde desperately held her tightly in his arms and swore his life to ask the king to allow them to be together.
At this time, Wang had been controlled, Qian Shu Hongde was forced to stay under house arrest, and the wedding went on as usual.
After the marriage, the princess would rather die than obey, which made the great wizard who coveted her feel resentful and tried every means to get rid of Qianshu Hongde.
The war in Tatunaan was imminent, and the king asked Qianshu Hongde to help strengthen the city and lay out mechanisms.
Qianshu Hongde took the opportunity to build a secret passage in the underground river, and made a private life with the princess here.
By chance, Qianshu Hongde discovered the great wizard's ambition and his secret, and told Natysha all this.
At this time, the great wizard discovered the two people's tryst and expelled Qian Shu Hongde in the name of the king.
Out of love and hatred, the great wizard consecrated Natysha to the gods as a saint.
Qianshu Hongde was unwilling to leave and secretly teamed up with the princess to reveal the great wizard's conspiracy.
Unexpectedly, the great wizard cursed everything before he died.
What he can't get, no one can get.
A storm breaks out, disaster strikes, and Tatunaan is about to be buried in the sand.
In the temple, Qianshu Hongde begged to take Natysha out of here.
But Natasha chose Tatunaan.
She handed the handful of gold sand to Qian Shu Hongde,
He ran back to the temple.
By the time Qianshu Hongde looked back, it was too late.
The sandstorm mercilessly swallowed everything, and Tatunaan disappeared under the yellow sand.
The most brilliant stamen in the desert has withered.
Qianshu Hongde was unwilling to end like this and spent his whole life looking for a way to resurrect Natysha.
He even returned to the isolated island again and entered the forbidden ruins.
Chen Tao didn't know what he did in the forbidden ruins.
He only saw a lonely and old figure walking into a sarcophagus step by step, holding the black beast box tightly in his hand.
In the end, there was only a sigh and a drop of muddy tears.
Chen Tao sat paralyzed in front of the jade coffin in despair. No matter how Haozi and Ye Ling'er called, he had no reaction.
The moment just now was like a dream, as if I had lived for thousands of years at once.
With great difficulty, Chen Tao recovered from the extreme loss and chaos.
He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, got up tremblingly, and carefully used the beast box on his body to collect all the sand in the jade coffin.
"Thank you, Chen Tao..." An old thank you suddenly came to my ears.
Like a whisper, gently echoing in the ear.
Chen Tao glanced around blankly, but there was nothing.
"Are you hallucinating?"
Chen Tao shook his head, looked at the stunned people, and smiled.
"Let's go. I know how to get out."
