Underground in Cairo.
Zhao Huai condensed a ball of flame in his palm and explored the dark underground maze.
Yin Nanyu said that there was still human aura here, but it was only underground, so Zhao Huai had no choice but to explore. If there were monks from the Shenluo Empire who survived, he might be able to know what the Shenluo Empire had gone through.
The underground labyrinth is lined with collapsed ancient buildings. Many special symbols are engraved on the palace, which looks like the symbol of a certain force.
Yin Nanyu, who was walking in front, recognized him at a glance and explained:
"These symbols are the symbols of the ancient religion of Goddess, and Goddess is the ancient god enshrined by the Shinra Empire. The sacrificial inscriptions above have been covered with dust. It seems that the Shinra monks wanted to call Goddess to come to the world and save the empire, but unfortunately, they failed. .”
"This goddess is the same as the Crow Immortal of your Raven Sect. Are they both ancient evil immortals?" Zhao Huai asked, his tone full of
Yin Nanyu glanced at him lightly and said with dissatisfaction: "There is no distinction between good immortals and evil immortals. This is just history compiled by the victors. What you think is just what you think. You believe in the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty. Among the ancestors of the Sword Immortal and the gods and Buddhas in the heavens, which one is not respected by all people and absorbs the incense of the human world for a living?"
"Now that the world of immortality is in deep water and fire, these immortal families exist, but can someone be born to save you? On the other hand, Master Crow Immortal is about to come to the world to lead the Xizhou believers to a new world."
Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Huai's mouth twitched.
This Yin Nanyu never forgets to confuse people's minds at any time, and he always talks in one way.
As everyone continued to go deeper into the maze, altars gradually appeared on both sides. Eight stone pillars supported the main hall. The symbols on the stone pillars were complicated, and the center was stained with a ball of dried blood.
“Have you failed to ask God?”
Seeing this scene, Zhao Huai thought of what Yin Nanyu had said.
Not all ancient religions can succeed in asking gods. Most of them fail.
At this time, Yu Qinghan thought deeply: "The competition for incense in Xizhou is very fierce. It cannot be ruled out that some ancient gods have fallen, so the rituals they held are useless."
When he said this, Yin Nanyu was surprised. He did not expect that the Empress of Great Xia also knew about such things.
Only then did she remember that Yu Qinghan had first practiced in Lingshan.
"boom!"
When everyone was observing the stone pillars, the ground began to vibrate, as if something ran out from the depths of the maze.
Zhao Huai's spiritual consciousness expanded and he did not find the breath of living beings, nor did he find the evil spirit of the undead.
What is that thing moving?
"Is it a dead thing?" Zhao Huai asked confused.
Yu Qinghan looked at the source of the movement, his eyes narrowed, and he said solemnly: "It's a war pattern puppet."
"War Pattern Puppet?"
Zhao Huai jumped up and passed through the dark maze.
Sure enough, I saw four humanoid stone statues wearing ancient armor made of mithril striding towards them.
The chest was shining with spiritual energy, and the helmet was airtight.
The humanoid stone statue is five meters long and has a round shape. It looks very bulky, but the buckler and spear in its hands can smash the boulders encountered along the way, giving it an overwhelming sense of strength.
"Maybe it was made by the puppet master."
Zhao Huai couldn't help but think so.
As far as he knew, the profession of puppeteer was in decline.
Because the price of making a puppet is very expensive, it requires heaven and earth spiritual treasures as the core of the puppet. Various accessories, including armors and weapons, require an astronomical number of materials and maintenance fees, and ordinary people cannot afford them.
Only some large sects will be handed down and have intact sect-protecting puppets.
At the same time, in the past hundred years, the world of immortal cultivation has only been able to develop puppets at the Qi training level and the foundation building level, which is already the highest level.
The more powerful puppets simply cannot find more suitable materials, including a series of cores that are very expensive. If these spiritual stones were used to cultivate monks, several foundation-building monks would have been cultivated long ago.
This way, there is no need to make puppets.
Compared to puppets, living monks are more powerful.
"Someone is controlling these puppets. These puppets are not very strong, so there is no need to worry."
After Zhao Huai checked it, he informed everyone of the specific situation.
The four puppets in the Foundation Establishment Realm basically pose no threat, they just look big in size.
"In this case, it will be destroyed."
Without saying a word, Yu Qinghan floated up and was about to take action to smash these puppets to pieces.
"stop!"
A nervous voice came from the depths of the maze.
Yu Qinghan saw a woman wearing a numbing hat appear in the underground tunnel. He frowned and suddenly thought of this person's identity and said in surprise:
"It's actually you?"
Zhao Huai heard his wife's reaction and moved his eyes behind the puppet.
An exotic and beautiful woman wearing a hat on her head walked out.
Yu Qinghan's eyes flickered and he spoke again: "I really didn't expect that the former Princess Shinluo is still alive here underground."
"Are you Luo Ya?"
Zhao Huai also recognized the woman's identity and looked a little surprised.
Five years ago, when the Shenluo Empire was not yet destroyed, Princess Shenluo asked him many times to cooperate against the Great Xia Dynasty, but he always rejected her.
I just didn't expect that the former Shinra Princess would become so embarrassed.
Zhao Huai couldn't imagine it.
An empire has been destroyed, millions of its citizens have died tragically, and Luo Ya lives alone in the underground labyrinth. What has she experienced?
Luo Ya walked out and after seeing the person in front of her clearly, she looked dazed and murmured:
"Zhao Huai, it's you"
She looked at the monks with her beautiful eyes, as if she understood something, and laughed at herself:
"Unexpectedly, what the Shinra Empire failed to accomplish was actually accomplished by Daxia."
The two had met once before, and it was inevitable that they would feel emotional when they met again. Luo Ya had asked Daxia for help, but was rejected by the Empress of Daxia for unknown reasons.
Then there was no chance.
Seeing her reaction, Yin Nanyu's face showed a bit of ridicule, and said: "If I had known this, why would I have to live alone? Wouldn't it be better to die?"
"Do you think I don't want to?!"
Luo Ya's heart seemed to be touched by grief, and she shouted.
"My father asked me to restart the altar and summon the goddess, but what's the use!"
"The goddess is fake!"
"The ancient religion is also fake!"
"Everything is fake!"
Zhao Huai could not help but sympathize with the former princess as she looked crazy.
Yin Nanyu looked at the dusty altar, as if he thought of something, his star-like eyes flashed.
"The reason why you failed is simply that the goddess has died. If you were Master Crow Immortal, you might be able to successfully invite the gods."
She floated up and came to the center of the altar. She faced the ancient pattern of the Goddess on the dome and stretched out her jade hands.
"Now is the best time to offer these sacrifices. I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise when I went to the capital of Cairo."
The cold mana caused the surrounding temperature to drop several notches. The ancient pattern of the Goddess was shattered by the ice pick and replaced by a huge raven pattern.
"what you up to?!"
Seeing this scene, Luo Ya's pupils shrank and she asked.
"She wants to invite the Crow Immortal to come down to earth."
Yu Qinghan crossed his arms and crossed his chest, straightened his slender waist, and said calmly.
Zhao Huai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Madam, aren't you going to stop her?"
Yu Qinghan shook his head, tilted his head and said: "If the Crow Immortal can really come, then the pressure on Xizhou will be much less. The pressure in the wild world is already very great. It would be great to have a Crow Immortal to stand up to him. "
"Wow!"
Yinnan Jade stands in the void, like a sacred angel, and the Yin and Yang twin stars on its chest shine brightly.
The ancient patterns engraved on the ground actually came to life, flashing layer by layer, like a beacon on the steps.
"How can it be!"
Even Luo Ya had to exclaim.
The ceremony I prepared turned out to be someone else's wedding dress.
"Using the millions of creatures in the Shenluo Empire as a guide, please invite the Crow Immortal to come down to earth!"
As the final ceremony of Yin Nanyu's singing began, the prayer ended, and there was a strange movement in the world.
Thousands of clouds dispersed and the space trembled.
"boom!"
A dazzling divine pillar shot out from the direction of the underground altar, pointing straight into the sky, and the majestic shadow of the crow's head appeared in the sky.
"Success?"
Zhao Huai let out a light sigh, showing an incredible expression.
The Yin and Yang Twin Stars hung in the air, and the light pillar quickly dissipated. After entering the Twin Star, the bead finally opened a gap. A figure appeared in the remaining light and shadow, and walked out. An extremely ethereal voice came from inside:
"It's worth my hundred years of planning, and I finally stepped into this world first."
It is obviously a very young voice, but it gives people an ancient charm, with a sense of vicissitudes of time.
Immediately afterwards, a young man walked out from the Yin-Yang Twin Stars.
This man was unusually enchanting and handsome, with copper ink on his facial features and streaks on his forehead and cheeks. He had his hands behind his back and black wings on his back. He had a majestic aura about him.
"Greetings to Lord Crow Immortal!"
The monks and soldiers of the Di Luo Dynasty who were on duty on the ground, as well as Yin Nanyu who was slowly falling, all knelt down and said in unison.
Zhao Huai narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
"The Crow Immortal has really descended to earth?"
But how is it possible? Once an ancient god like Crow Immortal steps into this world, the laws of the entire world will reject him and not allow him to enter.
An enchanting and handsome man, with long white hair swaying in the wind, black wings spread out, landing gracefully, tall and straight figure, skin as clear as jade, golden eyes with extraordinary brilliance, and no trace of cultivation on his body.
But there was a hint of coercion in his movements, like a superior god. He raised his head and looked at everyone present, and finally put it on Zhao Huai, and chuckled:
"I didn't expect that Yan Zu would have such a descendant. It's really amazing."
