Zi Lan pointed to the pattern on the white jade plate with one finger and explained, "This is a picture carved using micro-carving techniques. Ordinary people cannot see it with their eyesight. Only warriors with advanced cultivation can, through practice, Only with some exercises to train your eyesight can you see it."
Huo Xuemin nodded and asked, "Then what is painted on it?"
Zi Lan said, "This roughly records the process of Old Man Luoye refining the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor. In fact, after he developed the Fallen Leaf Gu and created the Fallen Leaf Gu Formation, he has been trying to improve it. Because he always felt that this There were flaws in the Falling Leaf Gu Formation. In the end, he finally found a way to better control the Falling Leaf Gu and maximize its strength. Then he refined a Falling Leaf Gu Emperor.
It is said that in ancient times, every Gu insect group was led by a powerful Gu Emperor, and each Gu Emperor possessed ninth-level strength. However, as time went by, the powerful Gu Emperor gradually died away, and he is no longer seen anymore.
However, this old man Luo Ye is really talented in studying Gu insects, and he actually found a way to refine the Luo Ye Gu Emperor.
But this method is extremely vicious. It requires soaking ninety-nine fallen leaf Gu with the blood of nine hundred and ninety-nine people, and then letting these ninety-nine fallen leaf Gu kill each other. The last remaining one can become the fallen leaf Gu king. ! "
"Ah! Does that mean that everyone here has become a sacrifice to this Fallen Leaf Gu King?" Huo Xuemin covered her mouth and said in surprise, "That means these are... all my father..."
Zi Lan sighed and nodded.
Huo Xuemin felt as if she had been struck by lightning. It was hard for her to imagine that so many people had to pay the price with their lives just for a Gu insect. This was different from the "human life matters" advocated in the sage books she usually read. "Benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust" are all very different.
Moreover, these things are actually related to his father, whom he admires on a daily basis, and are even set up by his own father.
Ah Tong seemed to be very interested in these things and said eagerly, "What happened next? Did you say anything else above?"
Zi Lan paused for a while, glanced at Atong, and then continued, "Later, Old Man Luoye began to implement this plan secretly. At first, he only dared to kill in some remote mountain villages, but although it was hidden, it was still The efficiency was too low. So, already a little obsessed, he stopped keeping a low profile and massacred civilians.
This also attracted the pursuit of the right way of martial arts and the government. As a last resort, he could only stop his plan and hide around. At this time, the Huo family leader contacted him privately and promised to help him.
Old Luo Ye, who had no other choice, had no choice but to agree to the Huo family and hide in the Valley of Death.
So, with the help of Patriarch Huo, Old Man Luo Ye successfully developed the Luo Ye Gu Emperor, but he also became obsessed with it...
This is the origin of this cave, or the tomb of Old Man Luoye. "
Zi Lan let out a long sigh, feeling a little complicated.
He walked to the dead body of the old man Luo Ye, and gently lifted the old man's body. There was a crisp sound of objects colliding.
A black chain as thick as an arm appeared at the old man's feet.
Huo Xuemin slowly walked over after hearing the sound, and fell into deep thought while looking at the chain.
Zi Lan put down the old man's body, leaned over and tentatively touched the black chain.
As soon as his hand touched the chain, he immediately took it back
.
Huo Xuemin looked at him with concern, "Is there something wrong with this chain?"
Zi Lan rubbed his fingers, and there was already a hole in it. He silently opened a corner of Old Man Luoye's black robe.
I saw a huge chain tightly tied around the old man's thin waist. Where the chain came into contact with the old man's skin, the skin had turned into a circle of pitch-black scales, and he no longer looked like a normal person.
"This chain is made of Nine Heavens Wind Blade Iron. It can completely seal the internal power of warriors with cultivation levels below eighth level, so..." Zi Lan only said half of what he said. The remaining half, it doesn't matter whether he said it or not. Big difference.
Huo Xuemin closed her eyes gently, seeming to be thinking about something. After a long time, she said, "So when Old Man Luo Ye refined the Queen of Fallen Leaf Gu, it was my father who imprisoned Old Man Luo Ye here alive. Until his death. This place was actually built for him from the beginning.
The tomb…”
Zi Lan nodded slightly.
Huo Xuemin suddenly asked, "Tell me, why does such a bloody monster exist in this world?"
"Because it can bring great power to people." Zi Lan said.
Huo Xuemin was stunned for a moment, "Powerful power? Is power really that important? Is it more important than a person's life?"
"Everything has two sides, and people are no exception. For example, things that are treasures in your eyes and cannot be desecrated are just trivial things in the eyes of others." Zi Lan said slowly, "For example, a mouse ate a rice barn. It doesn’t know that this is life-saving food for the countless hungry people outside the rice barn who are waiting to be sown in the spring next year. It only knows that if it doesn’t eat these grains, it will starve to death. Is the mouse at fault? It just wants to live. Is there anything wrong with people? The rats eat his food, so he beats them every time they see them."
Huo Xuemin was stunned. This was the first time she heard such remarks. She had always been knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but she didn't know how to answer Zi Lan for a while.
At this time, A Tong on the side squatted down with his belly in his arms, "I'm so hungry. Is there anything to eat? I want to go back to eat!"
After hearing this, Huo Xuemin remembered that their dry food had been thrown away on the road when they met Taoist Jin Ju.
"Taoist Jinju must be leading his people to block the entrance of the cave now. If we go out now, we will fall into a trap and die." Zi Lan said.
Huo Xuemin looked at Old Luo Ye's body with complicated eyes. She also understood what Zi Lan said. If he was not allowed to absorb the Luo Ye Gu Emperor, the three of them would probably stay here to accompany Old Luo Ye forever.
But she was very opposed to Zi Lan absorbing the Luo Ye Gu Emperor from the bottom of her heart. She felt guilty for the Luo Ye old man from the bottom of her heart, but there was no other way at the moment.
Just as Huo Xuemin was hesitating, Atong suddenly said, "I don't think this power can be divided into good and evil. It's just like a hunting bow in my father's hands that can kill big bears and wild boars and make everyone in the village eat them." It’s delicious meat, but in the wrong hands, it can be used to beat people.”
Looking at A Tong's clear eyes, Huo Xuemin couldn't help but touch his little head, turned to Zi Lan and whispered, "Then... then you absorb it..."
Zi Lan stared at Huo Xuemin, who lowered her head to avoid his sight, turned and stepped aside.
Zi Lan didn't say much, put Old Luo Ye's body on the chair, and murmured softly, "Old senior, I have offended you so much."
The next moment, Zi Lan sat cross-legged, and an invisible aura spurted out fiercely, causing Huo Xuemin to nervously hold A Tong's shoulders and take a step back.
"Stay ten steps away from me, keep an eye on the surroundings for me, and tell me as soon as possible if anything happens." Zi Lan warned loudly, then closed her eyes, took out the magic spell with both hands, and began to meditate and practice to heal her injuries.
This was the first time he had done something like this, absorbing ninth-grade Gu insects. If he didn't prepare properly, he wouldn't be sure.
After a while, a purple light enveloped his whole body, and the corpse of the fallen old man in front of him suddenly stood up, and a golden light shone faintly in the abdomen of the corpse.
Huo Xuemin then hugged Atong and pushed him to the edge of the high platform. He looked around and found nothing strange.
So the two simply sat down and waited slowly.
As time went by, the purple light on Zi Lan's body was like a big hand, slowly grabbing the golden light on the belly of the old man Luo Ye.
At this time, Zi Lan's whole body began to tremble slightly, and her forehead was covered with fine sweat.
That ball of golden light was the legendary Luo Ye Gu Emperor. It had ninth-grade strength and had been residing in Luo Ye old man's body. At this time, he felt the intrusion of Zi Lan's internal power and immediately made a defensive posture to resist him. intrusion.
Although the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor possesses ninth-level strength, it does not have human intelligence after all. In addition, it has not absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for so many years, and has been in a state of consuming itself.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Zi Lan to find the flaw.
The big purple hand grabbed the golden light and took it out from the abdomen of the fallen old man.
When this ball of golden light left Old Man Luo Ye's body, Old Man Luo Ye's body quickly withered and shrank, as if dehydrated, and finally turned into an ugly human skin tightly wrapping the skeleton inside, slowly
Fall down.
At the moment he fell, there was a crashing sound, and all the bones of Old Man Luoye were shattered and turned into a puddle of powder, and the layer of human skin was also shattered into countless fragments.
Huo Xuemin couldn't help but be filled with emotion when she saw the final outcome of a generation of heroic fallen old man.
But at this time, the golden light wrapped in the big purple hand stopped moving.
Zi Lan could feel that the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor in the golden light had fully awakened and was constantly trying to resist his pull.
Even though he tried his best to instill inner strength into the big purple hands, trying to pull the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor into his body, but the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor's struggle was also extremely strong.
For a moment, a delicate balance formed between him and the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor.
He couldn't do anything to the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor, and the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor couldn't break free from his shackles.
This also reflects the depth of Huo Long's original calculation. Without the trap he had laid before, Zi Lan, who had a seventh-level cultivation level, would not have had the opportunity to conquer the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor today.
However, this also depends on whether Zi Lan's own background is deep, and how strong the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor is.
If this fails, then Zi Lan has no choice but to say that he has no chance with the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor.
However, once he successfully absorbs it, he will reach the sky in one step.
Those who can become high-level warriors at this age are extremely rare.
For someone like him who relied on the almost extinct treasures of heaven and earth like the Fallen Leaf Gu Emperor to achieve enlightenment, I'm afraid there won't be another person in Kyushu.
