The movement in the distance has stopped, the bright arrays on the ground have dimmed again, but the temperature of the entire space is rising little by little.
Mu Qing's face was serious, his eyes fell on the stone tablet in front of him again, and he sighed softly.
This stone tablet is made of special material. After countless years of baptism, it still has not faded at all. The vermilion inscriptions on it are simple and elegant. When Mu Qing's eyes fall on it for a long time, there is always an illusion that he is facing another era. It is an era. A breath of vicissitudes and grandeur.
Suzaku City has existed longer than the Hibiscus Dynasty. Thousands of years ago, there was only a volcano within a hundred miles of dense jungle. But at that time, there were ancestors who took root here, and it was they, This stone monument was erected.
The remains of Nanmarsh are named Youyan because of their green flames.
The ancestors built formations and cities based on Youyan Volcano, and finally gained a foothold in the difficult south.
This also cleared up Mu Qing's doubts. At that time, the southern part of Taishi Continent had only hot summers and brutally cold winters, and the lush green forests were a paradise for wild beasts.
The ancestors who migrated here went to great lengths to build a city on a volcano, not because they wanted to die. On the contrary, it was because they wanted to survive so much that they were surrounded by wild beasts at all times. Between green forests and volcanoes with lava spewing out at any time, I chose the latter.
The records on the stone tablet reached this point, and finally reached the records about the Nether Flame Formation. Although the records above were mostly obscure, Mu Qing roughly understood what they meant.
The reason why the formation was built was because at that time, in addition to the harsh climate, what threatened the lives of the ancestors at all times was the tide of beasts that regularly flowed out of the green forest.
The ancestors who proposed to build the city here seemed to come from a powerful cultivator force. They were exiled here because of their crimes. After knowing that they would never return home, they finally found themselves before the ancestors faced a huge tide of beasts again. No longer limited to the difference between the sects, he dedicated his mastery of the art of detecting pulses and fixing fire.
As a person of later generations, looking at the records of the past, Mu Qing was really curious about the art of setting fire that was vaguely mentioned on the stone tablet.
It was precisely because of this technique of setting fire that the ancestors relied on the Youyan volcano to place seven formation bases, and from then on the Youyan formation was formed.
Although I don't know how effective it will be in facing the beast tide, the millions of people in Suzaku City today have provided the most silent and powerful proof for the ancestors of that era.
Time passed little by little, and in the quiet formation base space, Mu Qing stood in front of the stone tablet like a sculpture.
Finally, when there were undisguised footsteps in the passage leading to this space, Mu Qing turned around and met the eyes of someone who was walking leisurely.
Bai Hao glanced at the stone tablet and chuckled: "After reading the records, you should know that this is the last formation base. What are your thoughts now, and will you stop me to the death?"
Mu Qing frowned slightly when he saw that there was no more whistling of the sword behind Bai Hao. Bai Hao sneered: "If you are waiting for Bai Hu, then forget it."
"What's wrong with him?" Mu Qing asked coldly.
Bai Hao's current strength should exceed the extraordinary, but he has not reached the threshold of extraordinary. It stands to reason that even if Bai Hu cannot defeat him, his life will not be in danger.
Bai Hao narrowed his tiger eyes slightly, his whole person was cold, and he said disdainfully: "If this kind of idiot didn't have two magic weapons to protect him, there would have been no ashes left."
The white tiger was probably still alive. Mu Qing felt slightly relieved, but then he felt surprised.
He knew he would not get an answer when he spoke just now, but Bai Hao gave a rare explanation, and there was some strange feeling in his heart that could not penetrate Bai Hao's mind.
Bai Hao had been paying attention to the changes in Mu Qing's expression. At this time, the conversation changed and he said angrily: "Is Xing Fei preventing the evacuation?"
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows. At the last moment of the battle on the ground, there was no blood flowing into the fire curtain. Something was obvious - the longer Bai Hao was delayed now, the closer his plan that he had been planning for many days would be to death.
So Mu Qing remained silent.
"very good!"
The coldness in Bai Hao's expression was unfaltering. He had already gotten the answer through Mu Qing's reaction, and finally made up his mind.
Mu Qing, who had been striking the ground with his sword before, now held the Zhenguo Sword in his hand again, pointed the sword at the stone tablet behind him, and said: "With the development of Suzaku City to this day, it seems that there has never been any casualties due to the unstable formation foundation. .”
Bai Hao had already guessed what Mu Qing wanted to express, and sneered: "So what? Are you so naive that you still want to convince me?"
Bai Hao's eyes fell to the formation pattern on the ground. Mu Qing's heart tightened and he took the initiative to move to the center of the formation pattern.
His mental power was fully developed and he was ready. As soon as he felt the slightest abnormality, he slashed at Bai Hao with his sword and said: "Suzaku City has existed longer than the Mugung Dynasty. Although I don't know the history of the previous dynasty, But it is also conceivable that in these thousands of years, Suzaku City has changed hands many times."
Bai Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, he lowered his gaze, enduring the emptiness and pain from his body, and said with a half-smile: "So what?"
However, Mu Qing felt that Bai Hao was preparing to increase his attack, so he lowered his voice and said: "There should be quite a few city lords before you who knew about the existence of the Nether Flame Array, but why didn't they do anything when they were driven out of their positions as city lords? Do you do this? Once the underground volcano under our feet gets out of control, will only the inner city be affected? Or do you have mastered the art of setting fire?"
"That's stupid!"
Bai Hao's face was full of ridicule fermented by resentment. He shook his head and asked, "Do you know how the Lord of Suzaku City stepped down from the time when the Mugung Dynasty ruled Kyushu?"
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, his expression extremely cold.
Bai Hao raised his chin and sneered: "There is always only one way to make them step down. Do you think they can come back from the dead and then loudly complain about their regrets? Do you think they will have a chance to be like me before they die? ?”
“It’s not that they can’t do it, it’s that they don’t have the chance to do it.”
Mu Qing's breath was suffocated. He had never seen such a righteous person as Bai Hao, but this was the first time he had the opportunity to know that the alternation of power in Suzaku City had always been a non-stop one.
Seeing that Mu Qing seemed absent-minded and silent, Bai Hao took a step forward. Mu Qing immediately raised her head and stared at him.
Bai Hao stopped his footsteps, shook his head and laughed, his eyes drifted to the stone tablet behind Mu Qing, and said softly: "This art of setting fire has been lost long ago in the previous dynasties. Those of us later can only master the control of the Nether Flame Array. method. So if the volcano on the soles of the feet is completely out of control, it is also the fate of these ants. If I can use their blood and energy in exchange for my ascension, maybe I can reshape the cause and effect for them and let them vote well. fetal."
The regret in Bai Hao's tone was much more genuine.
Long before he chose to cultivate the blood demon body, he had painstakingly sought out this art of calming fire. If he could be given the art of fixing fire, Bai Hao was confident that he could go further and further on the path of cultivation with his attainments in formations.
It's a pity that there is no if...
