Chapter 18 The Secret Behind the Mural
After dealing with the spiritual figures that walked out of the murals, everyone took a short rest and then continued to walk along the passage towards the depths of the ruins.
The passage grew increasingly dark, the thick darkness seeming to possess substance, squeezing everyone's senses and inexplicably creating a sense of oppression. Lin Yun walked at the front, his gaze as sharp as a torch, searching the darkness for any sign of lurking danger. He gripped his sword tightly, the spiritual runes on the hilt flickering faintly, as if echoing his tense state of mind, ready to unleash a fierce blow should danger strike.
Suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead, like a lone star in the darkness, strikingly striking in the endless darkness. Everyone's depressed mood suddenly brightened, sparks of hope ignited in their eyes, and they subconsciously quickened their pace, hurriedly heading towards the light.
As they approached, they discovered the light was coming from behind a half-open stone door. The door was engraved with complex and mysterious runes, like a mysterious code left behind by ancient times. Emitting a faint glow, the runes seemed to guard the secrets behind the door, and seemed to silently tell the legends of the past.
"This stone gate... seems to be hiding a lot of secrets." Lin Xiao said in a low voice, with a hint of awe and curiosity in his voice.
Lin Yun nodded and approached the stone door cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, as if he were not treading on solid ground, but a minefield ripe for traps. He crouched down slowly and peered through the crack in the door. Inside lay a spacious hall. In the center stood a massive stone platform, upon which rested a crystal coffin radiating a rainbow of colors. The coffin was surrounded by softly glowing stone pillars, engraved with ancient patterns and inscriptions. These patterns and inscriptions were like silent historical books, recounting a long history. Every line and every character carried the vicissitudes and mysteries of time.
"There is a crystal coffin inside. It feels very unusual. Everyone be careful." Lin Yun said softly to the team members behind him. Although his voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable solemnity.
Everyone nodded and followed Lin Yun into the hall slowly.
As soon as they entered the hall, they felt a powerful surge of spiritual energy. It was pure and vast, like a surging tide, instantly engulfing them. Everyone was invigorated, as if a rain of sweet water had moistened their parched hearts, or new energy had been injected into their exhausted bodies.
"This spiritual power fluctuation... is so powerful. What is in this crystal coffin?" A team member said in surprise, his eyes wide open, full of amazement and confusion.
Lin Yun also frowned, his heart filled with doubt. He slowly walked towards the crystal coffin, each step a bit tentative, as if there was an unknown beast lurking ahead. When he reached the crystal coffin, he discovered that it was not completely transparent. There was a layer of light mist on the lid, which shrouded the coffin like a veil, making the scene inside a little blurry and adding a touch of mystery.
Lin Yun tried to inject his spiritual power into his eyes, hoping to see through the mist and see clearly what was inside the coffin. Just as his spiritual power touched the coffin lid, the crystal coffin suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful force suddenly bounced him away.
Lin Yun's body was unsteady, and he took a few steps backward. If the team members behind him hadn't supported him in time, he would have fallen to the ground. He felt a surge of blood in his chest and a faint sweetness in his throat. It was obvious that he had suffered serious internal injuries.
"What's going on?" everyone exclaimed, with expressions of worry and fear on their faces.
Before they could react, the stone pillars surrounding the crystal coffin also lit up. The lights intertwined together, forming huge pictures in the sky above the hall.
These images seemed to unfold an ancient tale. In them, an immortal dressed in magnificent robes stood atop a misty mountain. He held a staff radiating a rainbow of light and muttered something, as if casting some powerful spell. The immortal's expression was solemn and dignified, emanating an otherworldly aura that intimidated the viewer.
As the scene unfolded, the immortal led a group of monks into a mysterious location, a place strikingly similar to the ruins they were currently in. Within that enigmatic landscape, jagged rocks and mist filled the air, and faint, mystical spiritual fluctuations lingered in the air. The monks followed the immortal, their faces filled with awe and anticipation, as if they were about to embark on a thrilling adventure.
"Could this immortal be related to these ruins?" Lin Yun guessed, his eyes fixed on the pictures, trying to capture more useful information from them.
Just as everyone was immersed in the story told by these images, the crystal coffin changed again. The mist on the coffin lid gradually dissipated, and the scene inside the coffin finally appeared clearly before everyone's eyes.
Inside the coffin lay a young, beautiful woman, dressed in a long white dress. Her face was serene, as if she were simply asleep. A faint glow emanated from her, blending with the colorful light of the crystal coffin, making her appear exceptionally beautiful. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were as dark as distant black, and her eyes were tightly closed. Her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids, like a beautiful painting.
"Who...is this woman? Why is she placed here?" a team member asked doubtfully, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in his voice.
Lin Yun also stared at the woman in the coffin, pondering. He had a feeling that her appearance was no accident, perhaps closely connected to the secrets of the ruins and the mystery of rebirth he had always sought to unravel. Various possibilities raced through his mind, trying to find a clue in his long memory.
At this moment, the woman's fingers suddenly moved slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
Everyone was startled and took a few steps back, staring at her warily.
After the woman opened her eyes, she looked around blankly, and then her gaze fell on Lin Yun and others.
"Who... are you? Where is this?" The woman's voice was soft and pleasant, yet it revealed an indescribable ethereality, as if it came from the distant sky, with a charm that was out of touch with the world.
Lin Yun stepped forward and said, "We are cultivators who came to explore these ruins and stumbled upon this place by accident. Who are you? Why are you in this crystal coffin?"
The woman frowned slightly, as if trying to recall something. After a while, she slowly said, "I... I think my name is Su Yao. As for why I am here, I don't remember much. I just remember that I seemed to have been sleeping and had many long dreams."
Lin Yun's heart moved, and he continued to ask: "Do you remember anything about this relic? Or have you heard of the mystery of rebirth?"
Su Yao shook her head and said, "I don't remember much, but I feel this place is very familiar, as if I have been here before."
Just as everyone was talking to Su Yao, the ground in the hall suddenly shook violently, and cracks spread from all sides. The amplitude of the vibration became larger and larger, as if the earth was roaring angrily, and the whole hall shook, making it difficult for people to stand steadily.
"Oh no, something's happening again!" Lin Yun shouted, and hurriedly cast a spiritual shield, covering everyone and Su Yao. He quickly formed seals with his hands, muttering something, and continuously injected the spiritual power in his body into the shield, trying to make the shield stronger to resist the impending danger.
The other team members also deployed defensive measures, preparing for battle. Some drew out their magical weapons and infused them with spiritual energy, causing them to glow brightly, forming lines of defensive light. Others formed hand seals and cast defensive spells, creating ripples of spiritual energy around their bodies, preparing to meet the enemy's attack.
Immediately, a multitude of skeletons, emitting a black aura, emerged from the cracks. Wielding rusty swords, their eyes gleaming with a faint green light, they charged towards the crowd. Their movements were incredibly agile, moving like ghosts through the dim hall, emitting eerie "clicking" sounds, like messengers of death ringing a death knell.
"It's those skeletons again! Everyone, be careful!" Lin Yun shouted, drawing his sword and charging towards the nearest one. He poured his spiritual energy into the sword, causing it to glow brightly. The runes on the blade shone with a dazzling light. He swung the sword fiercely, slashing at the skeleton, attempting to inflict a heavy blow immediately.
The other team members were not to be outdone. They used their respective abilities and engaged in a fierce life-and-death struggle with these skeleton soldiers.
Although these skeleton soldiers were not strong individually, they were numerous and extremely agile, causing considerable trouble for everyone. They surged in like a tide, wave after wave, making it difficult for everyone to cope.
While Lin Yun was fighting the skeleton soldiers, he was thinking about countermeasures. He found that these skeleton soldiers seemed to be driven by a dark spiritual power. If he destroyed their spiritual power source, he might be able to make them lose their ability to move.
With this in mind, Lin Yun began to pay attention to the spiritual power fluctuations of each skeleton soldier in practice, trying to find the key spiritual power source. His eyes were fixed on each skeleton soldier, not missing any subtle changes, like a hunter searching for the fatal weakness of his prey.
In the fierce battle, a team member was careless and was scratched on the arm by a skeleton soldier's sword, and blood immediately flowed. The team member groaned in pain and stumbled slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to fight.
"Be careful!" Lin Yun was extremely anxious and attacked the skeleton soldiers even harder, trying to buy more time for his teammates to counterattack.
Finally, after careful observation, Lin Yun found a core emitting black light in the skull of a skeleton soldier. The core continuously supplied dark spiritual power to the skeleton soldier.
Lin Yun made a quick decision, flashed and rushed towards the core.
Just as he was about to reach the core, several skeleton soldiers noticed his intention and turned towards him, trying to stop him.
Lin Yun gritted his teeth, gathered all his spiritual power into the sword, and then slashed fiercely at the skeleton soldier that was rushing towards him.
After a hard fight, Lin Yun finally broke through the skeleton soldiers' obstruction and arrived in front of the core. He raised his sword, poured all his spiritual power into it, and then stabbed it fiercely at the core.
"Crack!" The core was shattered by Lin Yun. In an instant, all the skeleton soldiers who were attacking everyone seemed to have lost their power. They stopped moving, then slowly fell down and scattered all over the ground.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. This battle with the skeleton soldiers had been truly thrilling.
"Everyone, quickly recover your spiritual power and treat your wounds. We still have to continue exploring these ruins." Lin Yun said, his eyes full of determination.
Everyone nodded, took out the pills and took them, and began to circulate their spiritual power to heal their wounds.
When everyone had almost recovered, they stood up again and walked towards the depths of the ruins.
Su Yao also followed behind the crowd. She looked at their backs, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, as if she was thinking about her relationship with all this, and what secrets were hidden in the depths of the ruins. She had a vague feeling in her heart that she seemed to have an inextricable connection with the ruins and these monks, but the fog of memory had not yet completely dissipated, making it difficult for her to see everything clearly.
