"Is this a temple?"
Looking at the strange place with billowing mist not far away, Su Mo's face was full of surprise.
Although before he came, he was mentally prepared for the temple to be destroyed in the war.
But what he actually saw was still far beyond his expectations.
The boundless mist that seemed to merge with the night completely obscured the location of the temple.
There is an unimaginable amount of resentment in it.
From time to time, scary-looking faces would appear.
Many ghost faces screamed silently, as if they were pouring out their pain and hatred.
There seemed to be a whisper in Su Mo's ears, calling him to go inside.
"snort!"
Su Mo snorted coldly and dispersed the hidden sneaky power on the spot.
Even the many ghostly faces floating in the mist dissipated in an instant.
"It seems that the great disaster that year left countless consequences."
Su Mo's eyes flickered slightly, and the surging mental power surged forward like a wave.
In just an instant, a huge gap opened up in the area wrapped in mist.
The ruins hidden underneath were immediately revealed.
However, Su Mo didn't wait for Su Mo to step in.
Soon, in the more distant depths, a large piece of mist turned into a wall of fog and rolled in, filling the entire gap in an instant.
"Interesting, it seems that the resentment left by the original batch of dead people is not the only thing here.
There is a richer and deeper source.
If the source is not solved, it may be difficult to completely clean up these mist. "
When he thought of this, Su Mo walked forward without much hesitation.
He came here only to find the Holy Lord, not necessarily to clear away the mist here.
Although mental power is powerful, it is not infinite.
Until a better cleaning method is found, there is no need to fight with these mist.
As Su Mo stepped in, a mental barrier with a radius of five meters was created around him.
Within five meters, the field of vision is clear and there is no fog.
He began to walk around the ruins of the temple, carefully searching for the Holy Lord who might have fallen here.
He had seen part of the structure of the temple clearly when he was repelling the mist.
Ahead is a long stone staircase corridor, and at the end of the corridor is a square.
Behind the square, you can vaguely see the ruins of a majestic building.
Obviously that is the main hall of the temple.
Su Mo moved forward, observing the surrounding environment as he walked.
Apart from some grass and moss growing on the stone steps that have passed through the years, there is nothing noteworthy about them.
On the contrary, most of the exquisite corridor has collapsed, and the ground is full of trivial bricks and red pillars.
There are even many eerie white bones underneath some of the pillars.
Apparently they were all villagers who had not escaped on the day of the festival.
In addition, indigenous people still live in these ruins.
Su Mo casually flicked his fingers.
A crooked pillar and beam not far away, and a red-clad Inferi hidden behind it, instantly shattered into powder.
"If a place like this doesn't produce weird things, then there's something wrong."
Su Mo jumped up, crushed a head that was about to pop up in front of him, and floated forward like a dragonfly on water.
After killing a few eyeless monsters, Su Mo soon arrived at the square at the end of the stone steps.
The square looks huge and can accommodate thousands of people.
The audience for the festival must have gathered here.
Compared to the corridor under the square, there are relatively few corpses here.
Apparently when the disaster broke out, many villagers took advantage of the chaos and fled.
After Su Mo roughly checked the square, apart from getting rid of some weird monsters who weren't smart enough, he couldn't find the Holy Lord.
It stands to reason that the chance of the Holy Lord appearing here is the greatest.
After all, this is what is used in Zhengyi.
If a disaster occurs at the scene, the Holy Lord should be the most likely sacrificial weapon to fall here.
As a result, not only the sacrificial vessels have not been found, but also the body of the high priest has not been found.
Could it be that the high priest also successfully escaped like Han Polu?
Su Mo couldn't help but look at the large building ruins looming in front of the square.
However, he did not wait until he went to the ruins to conduct a more in-depth exploration.
Suddenly, he heard a slight muffled hum coming from the lower left corner of the square.
Su Mo's footsteps stagnated slightly, and then his whole body turned into a stream of light and rushed towards that place at a high speed.
…
"boom!"
Fierce explosions suddenly came from the ground.
It was the sound of a huge boulder falling on the pillar and smashing into pieces.
The flying wood chips and stones splashed everywhere, each one carrying great power.
Among the many debris, a figure nimbly dodged around.
Xue Lansu avoided all these hidden weapons and felt miserable.
She naturally knew that this strange place was extremely dangerous before coming here.
And her original plan was to use this danger to block the pursuers behind her, so as to drive away tigers and devour wolves.
After marching cautiously all the way here, I managed to get rid of the pursuer without any danger.
But just as she was about to find another direction to escape.
The monsters suddenly rioted.
A large number of monsters were like frightened insects, running rapidly in all directions. At first glance, they looked like they were fleeing.
This scene stunned Xue Lansu.
And soon she realized that this must be an unknown change in the mysterious realm.
Reminiscent of the fact that the fog dispersed a lot earlier, maybe it was related to that incident.
Xue Lansu rationally chose to retreat, preparing to avoid the changes inside just like the weird people around her.
However, only a few of the monsters have reason.
After seeing her as a living person, some monsters gave up and ran towards her, trying to devour her.
Xue Lansu almost laughed out of anger.
This time she finally understood what "people die for money and birds die for food".
But no matter how angry or aggrieved she was, she had to find a way to face the predicament before her.
Resist and escape at the same time.
The monsters chasing her around are almost all at level 5 or 6.
If there are only one or two, that's it. If a large group comes, even her level 6 limit will be difficult to support.
Not to mention that there may be powerful Sheqing-level monsters hidden in the secret.
Distracted in mind, the situation instantly fell into a disadvantageous position.
At the critical moment, Xue Lansu took out the True Source Pill and prepared to give it a final try to find a way out.
However, just as she was about to swallow the pill, a flash of red flame suddenly shot out from the square.
After flying, it immediately turned into a rain of fire and meteors, accurately penetrating into every monster around it.
Those monsters didn't even have time to hum before they turned into gas on the spot and disappeared.
Xue Lansu watched the predicament in front of her resolve instantly, and almost didn't react for a moment.
"I didn't expect to meet you in this place. Stay safe, Lord Xue."
Accompanied by clear laughter, Su Mo slowly came closer.
Seeing Su Mo emerging from the thick fog, Xue Lansu did not show any surprise on his face. Instead, he held the True Source Pill in his hand and asked with vigilance:
"You've been clinging to me all the way. What on earth do you want to do?!"
When Su Mo heard this, his expression was slightly startled.
He asked in slight surprise:
"Have you met my mirror image?"
Xue Lan Sufeng narrowed her eyes and still said cautiously:
"What evidence do you have that you are Su Mo himself?"
"Evidence? Does this count as evidence?"
Su Mo took out the Ding Shen Yin:
"And if I really wanted to harm you, there was no need to save you just now."
Xue Lansu's expression softened slightly.
Then she asked a few more secret codes agreed upon before entering the secret realm, and Su Mo answered them all fluently.
Only then did Xue Lansu believe it was him, and said with a wry smile:
"Don't blame me for being so nervous. I just suffered a big loss not long ago.
I originally thought that those mirror people did not have any intelligence, only instinct.
As a result, your mirror image almost hit me hard on the spot.
After that, I chased him all the way here, and it was not until just now that I finally got rid of him. "
When Su Mo heard this, he was a little confused:
"But I had already blocked the power of copying when I came in. Why can it still imitate me so perfectly?"
Xue Lansu shook his head and said:
"Actually, when I thought about it afterwards, his imitation was not very clever. Instead, it was full of mistakes. The main reason was that we had just met, so it was easy to be fooled."
Su Mo understood it instantly.
I was about to explain the current situation to her again.
Suddenly, he turned his head and looked to the right.
Seeing this, Xue Lansu also looked over in surprise.
Then I saw a familiar figure slowly emerging from the thick fog.
"I originally thought you were lucky enough not to meet me.
I didn’t expect that in the end I would have better luck.
How about it, do you want to cooperate with me in doing an autopsy?
I promise to give you a nice cut. "
Facing Su Mo's playful teasing, the mirror person opposite just stared at him expressionlessly.
Su Mo shrugged, turned to Xue Lansu and said:
"It seems that you are really not familiar with me. I can't show off a fishy face like his."
"To be honest, you don't care about pretending to be me, but you dare to lower other people's evaluation of me. You really deserve to die!"
Seeing that the mirror image man was about to rush forward and launch an attack, Su Mo clenched his right hand violently in the air.
There was a loud bang, as if a big hand suddenly clenched tightly, crushing the mirror image to pieces on the spot.
In the dissipating black clouds, Su Mo suddenly sensed some very fresh memory fragments.
That was the memory after the mirror person was formed, and it only lasted less than a day.
Xue Lansu can be seen in many of the pictures.
There are even fight scenes.
Su Mo didn't care much about this at first.
But when his perception passed through one of the pictures, a sound of surprise suddenly came out of his mouth.
In the memory of the mirror man, he once lost his target when he was chasing Xue Lansu.
He looked around for traces and accidentally stumbled into an alley covered with flowers.
After twisting and turning, he saw a small courtyard at the end of the narrow alley of flowers.
Sitting in the small courtyard was a headless halfling who was missing half of his body.
As if aware of the arrival of the mirror person, he turned around and looked towards the outside world.
The mirror image man confronted him for a moment, then quietly chose to retreat and leave.
And just as he was leaving, the headless halfling suddenly stood up, as if he wanted to chase him out.
In the end, he still didn't take a step and stood still for a long time.
This scene naturally looks quite strange.
But this was not enough to surprise Su Mo.
What really made him feel incredible was.
In the remaining right hand of the headless halfling, he held a bronze wine vessel.
There is a stream in front, a sharp tail at the back, a cup in the middle, a turtle on one side, three legs below, and a column between the stream and the mouth of the cup.
There is no doubt that this is the Holy Lord that he longs to get!
I didn't expect to appear there.
After Su Mo checked it carefully, he immediately confirmed the authenticity of the Holy Lord.
Because of the headless halfling who holds the Holy Lord.
The remaining robes on his body were in the shape of the high priest's robes.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is the head of the Chen family, the last high priest of Chenjia Village, Chen Chuyan!
After confirming the specific location of the Holy Lord, Su Mo started to leave without further delay.
On the way, he and Xue Lansu roughly explained the relevant situation.
Including twelve characters, welcoming the saint, looking for the saint, etc.
Xue Lansu was extremely shocked that Su Mo and the others were able to advance the ceremony to this point.
After all, less than a day had passed since they came in.
In such a short period of time, we have to deal with the weird things inside and look for clues to the festival again.
The action was advancing at a speed far beyond her imagination.
While chatting with questions and answers along the way, the two of them soon came to the alley covered with flowers.
Seeing this alley, Xue Lansu's expression immediately became extremely solemn.
Su Mo naturally knew the reason for her change of expression.
They had mentioned five things to note before coming in, one of which was to avoid alleys covered with flowers.
No one knows what dangers there are.
Even if he reads the memory of the mirror person, Su Mo can't make any guarantees.
After all, mirror people are not real humans after all.
The dangers hidden in alleys may only affect humans.
Even though he has unparalleled confidence in himself.
But he didn't want Xue Lansu to take unknown risks and enter with him.
In the end, the two decided that Su Mo would go in to investigate alone, while Xue Lansu would provide support from the outside in case of emergencies.
After the plan was decided, Su Mo walked towards the alley.
The moment his footsteps fell, he seemed to have entered a colorful world.
The sun became dazzling, there were clusters of grass and trees all around, the birds were chirping, and the fragrant fragrance of flowers could be faintly smelled.
From time to time, laughter like silver bells came from the distance, and a child was seen laughing and running around on the grass with excitement, carefree, innocent and cute.
Not far behind her stood a young couple.
The man is handsome and the woman is gentle.
They looked at the children running on the grass with warm smiles on their faces.
It seems that the family is happy and harmonious.
Su Mo watched this scene silently, and then took a step forward.
The picture in front of him suddenly collapsed.
