Soul Eater Book

"If the old man's guess is right, the remaining half of the jade slip should be in the hands of that kid. If it is a Lei Lingzong monk, it is reasonable to get the half of the jade slip, but why does this kid act alone?" Old Demon Qi walked towards the arched door on the left while talking to himself, and soon disappeared into the light door...

……

Between the ancient temples in the deep forest, Chen Zhi and Xuan Qingzi walked slowly.

The interior of this ancient temple is paved with a layer of pitch-black jade, exuding a permeating chill, even though Chen Zhi and Xuan Qingzi have a body comparable to a Nascent Soul monster, and the other is a Nascent Soul triple monk, walking into the ancient temple For a moment, I couldn't help shivering.

"Chen Daoyou...why didn't you just go to the forest to get those spiritual herbs?"

Xuan Qingzi walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and his eyes widened.

Just after entering the space, he was completely overwhelmed by the profound sense of history brought by this ancient temple. In addition, Chen Zhiyi walked straight towards this side, subconsciously ignoring the spiritual herbs in the forest. When I was shocked by this chill, it reflected it.

Chen Zhi turned his head and glanced at Xuan Qingzi.

How could he not care about those spiritual herbs, but Chen Zhi discovered that those exposed spiritual herbs were all tens of thousands of years old. If they were in other places, maybe he would I went to get it, but here, Chen Zhi didn't move at all.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because they are not the first batch of visitors here, the Nascent Soul Five Great monks who left the broken jade slips have been here before them.

Since this person has been here, why didn't he take away those spiritual herbs?If that person had taken it away back then, it would be impossible for these spirit grasses and medicines to last for more than ten thousand years!

Therefore, Chen Zhi guessed that the spirit grass and medicine in the forest might be a huge trap!

Of course, it is also possible that the attention of the five major monks of the Nascent Soul was also attracted by the ancient temple in the forest, or the temple within the temple, but there is no record in the broken jade slips, which made Chen Zhi feel vigilant!

Naturally, it was impossible for Chen Zhi to say these words to Xuan Qingzi. He turned his head and said with a half-smile: "If you want to take it, I won't stop it, but I don't know if it's dangerous, and... "

"Although I can be sure that Su Baiyin's goal is not the left arch, but there is no guarantee that some of them will follow." Speaking of this, Chen Zhi frowned, and said solemnly: "I don't know why, but I always I have a bad premonition, let's go quickly."

As he said that, Chen Zhi quickened his pace, while Xuan Qingzi stared at Chen Zhi for a long time, seemingly hesitant, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and followed the pace, vaguely, it seemed that Xuan Qingzi's low voice could be heard Mutter:

"Anyway, you saved Pindao's old life, and you don't care. Why should Pindao worry about it?"

Chen Zhi smiled slightly, and immediately looked at the murals on both sides of the passage.

Arriving here, most of the content depicted in the murals has become a single object—the scorpion, which includes the life of the scorpion and the battle, but it is only about the appearance of the scorpion, but Chen Zhi always looks at it. Unclear, as if shrouded by a mysterious force.

"The ones depicted in these murals should be certain high-level creatures..." Xuan Qingzi asked suddenly.

Chen Zhi nodded: "This creature's name is Scorpion Man... To be honest, I only know the name of this creature, as for other things, I don't know." As he spoke, Xuan Qingzi looked puzzled. Looking at himself carefully, he immediately opened his mouth to explain.

Xuan Qingzi nodded, and suddenly asked again: "Does Fellow Daoist Chen know the origin of this ancient temple... After all, along the way, Fellow Daoist seems to be very concerned about these totem murals, and the matter of Fellow Daoist collecting power god puppets before At first, I was only a little skeptical, but later on, fellow daoists will collect it every time, so I’m afraid it’s not just as simple as research.”

Chen Zhi's footsteps suddenly stopped, he turned his head and asked with a smile that was not a smile: "What do you want to ask, Fellow Daoist Xuan Qingzi?"

"Pindao is just curious. Besides, now that the life of the poor daoist is in the hands of fellow daoists, fellow daoists should at least open the skylight and speak clearly. At least even if he dies later, he must make pindao a fool." Xuan Qingzi Staring firmly at Chen Zhi, he asked in a deep voice.

Chen Zhi raised his eyebrows, turned his head again, and continued to walk forward. After taking three or four steps, he said, "Actually, it's okay to tell fellow Taoist. Of course, these are just Chen's guesses."

"Oh? Pindao is all ears." Xuan Qingzi heaved a sigh of relief, and also followed, but inadvertently slowly distanced himself from Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhiming knew that Xuan Qingzi was secretly on guard, but he turned a blind eye to it and strode forward, while his voice echoed in the passage.

"Actually, many people guessed that this ancient Haigou temple was built by the Buddhist sect. Chen also thought so at first, but after entering the Haigou, he found that the monks of Pudu Temple did not choose to enter the Haigou ancient temple. , it stands to reason that since this is the place of the Buddhist sect, there should be a lot of secret treasures of the Buddhist sect inside, why didn't the Pudu Temple come here? If Chen was a monk of the Pudu Temple, he would definitely choose this place, and the Lian of the Pudu Temple The god monk actually chose the cave in the center of the earth, which is also the reason why Chen began to doubt this place at first."

When Chen Zhi said this, he paused for a moment, looked back at Xuan Qingzi with a thoughtful expression on his face, and immediately said with a smile: "Perhaps fellow Taoist Xuan Qingzi and other fellow Taoists also have such speculations, but what makes Chen more concerned is that It is the statues in the inner hall, and there are a lot of ancient prohibitions. These prohibitions are not from the Buddhist sect. In other words, the prohibitions here, and even the puppets, seem a bit complicated... It seems to be a collection of various skills and people. Sects, those statues were like this at the beginning, and the subsequent Yuanshen puppets and Lishen puppets are even products of the Taoist court, fellow Taoists should be clear, the puppets refined by the Buddha sect should not be like this, right?"

"That's right." Xuan Qingzi said, "Buddhist puppets are often called bronze arhats. They are powerful and good at combined attacks."

Zhi secretly wrote down these, and then said: "And what Chen is more concerned about is this scorpion man... Even many totem records are legendary high-level creatures-three lion men, four Eye Nuwa, etc. You know, human beings often have a natural hostility towards higher creatures, unless they are like real dragons and phoenixes, which are close to real immortals, and it just so happens that Chen Zhi once wrote in an ancient book I learned that in ancient times, there was a sect that loved to worship high-level creatures, among which high-level creatures like scorpion-like people were regarded as gods..."

"Fellow Daoist is talking!" Hearing this, Xuan Qingzi's pupils dilated sharply.

And Chen Zhi also turned around: "That's right, if Chen's guess is right, this place is the ancient temple built by the God Worship Sect in ancient times!"

"So...so that's how it is!" Xuan Qingzi murmured, and with Chen Zhi's explanation, everything seemed to be clear.

Chapter 367 The Scorpion

Seeing Xuan Qingzi's appearance, Chen Zhi couldn't help but burst out laughing—it's extremely rare for Xuan Qingzi to lose his composure like this, and I'm afraid that this person with a deep city will only have such a gaffe in his life only a few times." And two of them, both is revealed before him.

"Okay, I've told you what I know. As for whether to move forward or leave, you can make your own decision." Chen Zhi shrugged.

"Chen Daoyou was joking, let's not talk about whether the flames in the passage disappeared, even if the old devil Yinqi and the three joined forces to break it, I am afraid that the subordinates of their sect will stay at the intersection. Now that the old man is going back, he is just throwing himself into a trap. "

Xuan Qingzi smiled wryly, and said: "So, is there still a need to choose?" Chen Zhi spread his hands, turned back and continued walking forward.

The passage was extremely long, and the two of them walked for less than half an hour, but they did not reach the end of the ancient temple. On the contrary, the surrounding temperature became colder and colder, and even the air they walked out of was frozen instantly.

"This coldness is so wrong." Xuan Qingzi shivered all over his body. Long before a stick of incense, he had propped up his defensive shield because he couldn't stand the coldness, but Chen Zhi still walked forward slowly." His physical body was trembling extremely. Although this shaking of muscles at a frightening frequency could withstand the severe cold, the consumption of his physical body was enormous. However, Chen Zhi never transformed into a dragon." It may be dangerous, and he can't continue to use dragon transformation" can only use this method to resist.

At this time, the weakness of Chen Zhijindan's cultivation base was fully exposed. If he wanted to hold up a defensive shield like Xuan Qingzi, he would not be able to last long even if he continued to take the spiritual liquid.

After another cup of tea time, the passage in front of him suddenly lit up, Chen Zhi and Xuan Qingzi looked at each other, "immediately quickened their pace, and soon" they came to a hall with a radius of a hundred feet.

This hall is filled with a biting chill, which makes people shivering uncontrollably." What made Chen Zhi and Xuan Qingzi fall into an ice cave was the thing in the center of the hall.

This hall of hundreds of feet is extremely empty.” From the gaps in the surrounding black stones, a piercing coldness permeated the entire hall from time to time, and the whole hall was decorated with white, but in the [middle] of the hall, there was a huge Ice Cube Seat.

On the back of the chair is an icicle of navy blue that is more than ten feet high, but just in front of the icicle, the seat and armrests are carved out, which are "as if they were made in nature" and filled with majesty and harmony. Domineering, like the throne of the emperor.

But what made Chen Zhi and Xuan Qingzi gasp in unison was "On the throne formed by the ice, sitting a monster with a height of five feet, this monster is similar to a human body, with dark skin scattered It has a metal-like bright black luster, which is similar, but because this "human being" has four hands and four legs, and a pair of sharp and terrifying long aoes on his shoulders. In addition, the A long scorpion tail" the identity of this "person" is ready to be revealed!

"Scorpion!" Chen Zhi yelled in his heart." The moment he walked into the hall, he obviously felt the air around him freeze suddenly, and an invisible terrifying force filled it!

"The power of rules!" Chen Zhi trembled slightly, not all because of the cold, but more importantly, a kind of fear from the heart "a kind of fear that the subordinates see the superiors!

Xuan Qingzi on the side was also trembling all over, staring at the Frozen Throne without blinking, suddenly "Xuan Qingzi's eyes froze, and he whispered: "Eh, that's not right! "

When he shouted these words, Chen Zhi's pupils shrank slightly.

At this time, the huge scorpion-body man was sitting on the chair with his head tilted and his eyes closed tightly, while the two arms on his right were supporting his right chin, as if he was in a deep sleep.

But what's weird is that the scorpion didn't breathe at all. "After all, it's in this cold hall." The air flow it exhaled would immediately turn into ice edges and fall, so it was extremely conspicuous.On closer inspection, not only was the scorpion not breathing, but his body was motionless!

Chen Zhi and Xuan Qingzi looked at each other, Chen Zhi made a gesture, and walked forward slowly.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, the piercing chill became more and more intense, and Chen Zhi even felt that his thinking became stiff under the double pressure of the coercion and the chill." Soon, he was about fifty feet away from the Frozen Throne. He stopped in his position, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared firmly at the scorpion on the throne.

"Something's wrong..." Chen Zhi murmured, but he didn't care that Xuan Qingzi was still behind him." The forehead suddenly split open, revealing the five pupils hidden underneath.

A faint stream of light turned, Chen Zhi simply closed his eyes, and slowly looked at the scorpion-body man through his five pupils.

In the world made up of black and white lines, "the body of the scorpion is suddenly surrounded by a cloud of cyan air." And this air is clearly the chill released from the chair.

"Is it frozen?" Chen Zhi suddenly opened his eyes and said in astonishment.

"Frozen?" Xuan Qingzi was stunned when he heard this, and walked into the hall slowly. When he came to where Chen Zhi was, he couldn't see anything at all, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Zhi in doubt. .
