The golden mouse had previously speculated that the relic was born later. It was not until eleven o'clock in the middle of the night the next day that the relic slowly emerged from the bottom of the desert, driven by a huge spiritual energy, revealing itself to everyone's sight. middle.
This is an exotic temple with a height of five meters. The sloped roof and the walls are all made of some kind of wooden material. Only the six columns standing on the front of the temple are made of bricks and stone, with carved The strange patterns seem to be integrated with the colorful patterns on the wall behind, revealing an elusive mystery.
At this moment, whether it was Shichishang and the others, Daomen, Long Group, Huashan, or the casual cultivators in the distance, they were all staring at the ruins.
After a moment of silence, everyone started to move in unison, but they did not rush in immediately. Instead, they circled around the temple and carefully observed the ruins, for fear that there might be some trap.
Shi Chishang walked around in a circle and returned to the main entrance. He shook his head at Cao Hong and Zhong Wudi and said, "There is only one entrance here, but I walked around and it seemed that the area was not particularly large, at most one or two hundred. It seems that there is either an independent space inside or part of it is underground."
"I think it should be underground," Cao Hong stared at the temple and frowned, "When the ruins came out, the space did not fluctuate much, so the probability of having an independent space is low. This temple should only be the entrance to the top floor. "
"Everyone," Du Qianqian, who was dressed in casual clothes, came back with several Qiyunshan disciples and said with a sweet smile, "There should be only one entrance to this ruins. What about, should we go in together or separately?"
Everyone looked at each other, and the big Uyghur man said solemnly: "How about we each send some people in to investigate the situation first?"
"Okay!" The purple-clothed woman leading the Zifu nodded slightly. She had a detached temperament, like a fairy in the clouds, and her voice was also somewhat soft. "How many people should we send down first?"
This number is worth considering. Each of the current five development rights can have ten quotas, which adds up to fifty people. Some of the various forces are single companies, some are several companies sharing one quota, and there are several companies sharing the quota. You will suffer a loss, and if you lose it, you may not get enough points.
Glancing at the woman in purple who seemed to be asking the question unintentionally, Shi Chishang crossed his arms and said with a faint smile, "How about four?"
"Three!" A square-faced young man among the Yupingshan group said in a deep voice.
Qi Xiaocai touched the hilt of the sword at his waist and chuckled: "Three of you are enough, our two families will be in trouble, how about you three and four of us?"
"It seems that the famous mountains in Dao Sect are not very united!" Cao Hong whispered in Shi Chishang's ear.
Shi Chishang grunted and looked at the quarrel between several major forces. He couldn't help but shook his head and said loudly: "Everyone, if you don't decide, I'm afraid some forces will come after hearing the news. Decide as soon as possible!"
The Uyghur man, Qi Xiaocai, Du Qianqian and others all looked stern when they heard this, and then tacitly speeded up the debate, and finally agreed that each side would send five people in.
Shi Chishang looked back at the five casual cultivators standing not far away, and said calmly: "Let's go in first, and you guys wait for the next group."
The five casual cultivators were startled. One of them was about to speak. Yu Buer was already stroking his bald head and sneered: "This ruins are said to be left by the ancient Loulan Kingdom. There is something in there. You must be the first one." Go in?"
Seeing that the five people were speechless, Shi Chishang smiled. After several major forces selected the first group of candidates to be sent to explore the ruins, he was the first to step towards the temple gate. Zhong Wudi and Cao Hong naturally They followed closely behind, while Yu Buer and the young man in white looked at each other first, and then followed them with smiles.
The dragon team was sent by the Uighur man and four team members. The Qi Yun Mountain and Heming Mountain teams were led by Qi Xiaocai and Du Qianqian, and the four teams of Huashan, Yuping Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, and Zifu were sent. They are also all led by a young disciple.
Seeing Shi Chishang stop in front of the temple gate, the young leader of the Huashan team frowned and said, "If you don't dare to go in, just get out of the way. Don't block the way."
Shi Chishang looked back at him and sneered: "Did you eat feces last night? Your mouth smells so bad?"
The young man's face turned cold and he was about to take action when Du Qianqian and Qi Xiaocai came over with three disciples. Du Qianqian said impatiently: "Why are you arguing? If you want to fight, wait until we get inside. Don't hinder the opening of the door." "
The young man from Huashan nodded, glanced at Shi Chi Shang with cold eyes, and said no more.
Shi Chishang turned around directly, unfolded his soul thought, and tentatively scanned the bronze door a few times, and found that there was no formation. Unconsciously, he raised his sword eyebrows, stepped up the steps, and went straight to the door. Reach out and push.
With a creak, the two bronze doors were pushed open by him with a gentle push. Du Qianqian, Qi Xiaocai and others all looked surprised. This was the first time they encountered the ruins gate that was not blocked at all.
After the door opened, the lobby inside was also visible to everyone. The floor was filled with the remains of tables and chairs, broken vases, flowers that were almost withered to ashes, and dust everywhere. Except for the wall on the wall facing the door. One statue of the god was intact, while the others looked as if they had experienced a catastrophe.
"I always feel that we have not entered a ruins, but a ransacked courtyard house." Du Qianqian muttered in a low voice.
Qi Xiaocai smiled, his eyes slowly swept across the lobby, and he frowned and said, "Go and take a look at the back."
The big Uyghur man had already led people through the lobby and walked into the small door on the left. Shi Chishang and others followed and found that there was a flower garden behind the lobby, but the flowers and plants inside had withered. Perhaps the fertile soil back then had also Has turned into gravel.
"What a great change!" A young man in red in Zhongnan Mountain sighed, "For more than 1,600 years, there may have been magical flowers and plants planted here, but they all turned into ashes in the end."
"It's not so poetic anymore," the square-faced young man from Yupingshan frowned, "Let's look for any passage!"
After Cao Hong's low-pitched introduction, Shi Chishang already knew the identities of these leading young men. The young man in red from Zhongnan Mountain was named Li Lie. He practiced a fire-based Taoist method, but his temperament was somewhat literary. He is also quite famous in the cultivation world.
The square-faced young man from Yuping Mountain is named Guo Xiangshan, and the purple-clothed woman from Zifu is Dao Yiyi. These three are the chief disciples of the younger generation of their respective sects. Only the Huashan sect has little contact with the outside world, so she doesn’t recognize those people. identity of.
Everyone searched the temple for a long time, but no passage was found. Guo Xiangshan walked back and forth in the lobby a few times, and suddenly said in annoyance: "If you are looking for someone else, just blow up the ground!" Before he finished speaking, he had already He punched the ground beneath his feet.
Seeing that Guo Xiangshan's fist was about to fall to the ground, the statue that was originally hanging on the wall suddenly burst into light, completely submerging the entire lobby in an instant. Several people were trying to use their strength to resist, but they heard several shouts of surprise. Three people came from Shi Chishang, the young man in white, and Dao Yiyi, all of whom wanted to stop them.
In just a few seconds, under the illumination of this light, tiny blood-colored talisman seals suddenly appeared on the walls around the lobby. They were densely packed and connected in series with each other, eventually forming a formation.
Just as the formation was completed, the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly collapsed. Although they were prepared, the formation seemed to prohibit the ability to fly, so that everyone fell down like dumplings.
In mid-air, Shi Chishang stretched out his hand to grab Cao Hong and Zhong Wudi. The thunder wings spread out behind him, but he could not stabilize his body at all. Like the others, they all fell towards the darkness below in embarrassment.
The strong wind howled, and everyone turned around without caring about the situation of others, at least to ensure that they did not land on their heads after landing.
Suddenly, Shi Chishang vaguely heard the sound of gears turning in the darkness, and the next moment his eyes lit up. They unexpectedly escaped from the darkness, and appeared above a huge pit.
Realizing that the power of the forbidden air had disappeared, Shi Chishang's thunder wings shone behind his back, and the lightning flashed for a moment, using all his strength to resist the inertia caused by his rapid fall.
Seeing that the veins on Shi Chi Shang's forehead were about to explode under Shi Chi Shang's desperate efforts, Zhong Wudi suddenly aimed seven consecutive punches downwards, accompanied by seven violent roars, and billowing air waves bounced back from below. Shi Chi Shang was also extremely Wisely, they stepped down a few times, and with the help of these air waves, they were finally suspended smoothly in mid-air when they were still two or three meters away from the bottom of the pit.
"Brother, do me a favor!"
The three of them had just stabilized their bodies when Shi Chishang suddenly heard the hurried shouts of the big Uyghur man. He looked up and saw five members of the dragon group dancing down. They were all superpowers and could not even think about coming. Can fly.
Shi Chishang turned to look at Zhong Wudi, who punched five times in a row without saying a word. The soft power of the punches swept up and supported the five people, causing their descent to slow down.
With their helping hands, the Uyghur man and the other five people finally landed safely on the ground.
At this time, Qi Xiaocai, Du Qianqian, Li Lie, Guo Xiangshan and others also landed one after another. They were either Taoists or cultivators, and they could fly with weapons. Naturally, it was much easier than the five members of the Dragon Group.
Seeing everyone landing on the ground, Shi Chishang turned his head and looked around, frowning unconsciously.
He was busy fighting against inertia before, so he hadn't observed carefully, but now he looked closely, and saw that there were countless skeletons looming on the ground around him. Most of these skeletons had been covered by dust before. It wasn't until the shock caused by the people landing just now that they could be seen. These poorly buried skeletons were revealed.
"What?" Du Qianqian screamed and kicked a hand bone away with one kick. His pretty face was pale. It seemed that even for practitioners, it was difficult for women to eliminate the fear of bones and dead people.
As a woman, Cao Hong seemed much calmer, but thinking about it, she was born in the ghost world after all. Growing up, she probably saw a lot of dead people and ghosts.
"It seems like this is a burial pit." After Qi Xiaocai comforted Du Qianqian, he turned around and looked around, frowning.
Guo Xiangshan scratched his head and suddenly punched out, making a big hole in the ground in front of him and exploding countless broken bones.
"Can you please stop being so reckless?" The young man from the Huashan Sect who had just criticized Shi Chi Shang frowned and shouted coldly, "If you hadn't tried to smash the ground just now, we wouldn't have ended up here."
Guo Xiangshan stood on his head with his eyebrows, turned his head and stared at him, shouting: "Why should I care about you?"
"Okay!" Seeing that the two were about to have a conflict, Dao Yiyi from Zi Mansion suddenly shouted softly and frowned, "Now we don't know where we are, and we are not sure about safety and danger. Let's stop fighting among ourselves."
"Song Ding, your Huashan sect rarely interferes with the affairs of the ruins. This time, you, the chief disciple, actually led the team here. You should know something, right?"
Seeing Dao Yiyi looking over, the young man frowned and looked a little troubled, but finally sighed and replied: "I don't know much. My master said that this ruins are from the ancient Loulan Kingdom." After the country was defeated in the war, the then king led his remnant troops to flee here and built it."
"Then there must be something special here, right?" Li Lie said with a smile, "Otherwise, with your background in Huashan, you wouldn't have come all the way here for such a ruin."
Shi Chishang was startled when he vaguely heard the smell of gunpowder, and Song Ding's face turned cold. Just as he was about to speak, Dao Yiyi sighed: "Everyone, we are in danger now, so don't get upset first."
Song Ding snorted and said coldly: "According to the information passed down by our ancestors, King Loulan should have left something in this ruins. It seems to be a treasure that can restore Loulan to his country."
"There is a piece of information in my library in Yuping Mountain. It seems that your Huashan sect was involved in the destruction of Loulan Ancient Kingdom back then, right?" Guo Xiangshan chuckled, "When Loulan Ancient Kingdom was destroyed back then, it was you who coveted their treasure, right?"
"Guo Xiangshan, do you really think I dare not kill you?" Song Ding's face darkened, he turned around and shouted.
"It's not certain who will kill whom, right?" Qi Xiaocai pulled out a palm-sized sword, waved it casually, and sneered.
In ancient times, Taoists were a branch that broke away from the cultivator group, so the two parties have been hostile to each other since ancient times. It is no wonder that Qi Xiaocai, Li Lie, Guo Xiangshan and others have an unusually tacit understanding of targeting the Huashan Sect.
