Dying, but we cannot let our guard down. 'Mirage' is good at creating illusions first, and second is good at hiding body shape. "
Chen Zhishuo was debating whether to insinuate things so that he could learn something about the enemy from Lu Li.Now that Lu Li took the initiative to speak, he felt more and more that Lu Li was not as arrogant as he wrote in the book.
In order to prevent "Mirage" from discovering them, Lu Li and Chen Zhisuo could only put away their magical powers and hike up the mountain.
Birds chirped and chirped in the mountains, and occasionally small animals flitted through the bushes around them, and there was no danger at all.
After entering the mountain, Lu Li opened the way ahead without saying a word, but Chen Zhishuo who was walking behind him was crushed.
"Senior brother," Chen Zhisuo lowered his voice, almost in a false voice, worried about being discovered by "Mirage", "This mountain is so big, tell me anyway, where are we going to find monsters?"
Lu Li pushed aside the branches blocking the way, and replied without looking back, "Go to the place where they set up the Immortal Ascension Card."
Chen Zhishuo's mind was spinning quickly, and he quickly understood Lu Li's intentions: "You can't just set up the Ascendant Card. Senior brother thinks that Nagato was there?"
"Yes."
Chen Zhishuo asked curiously: "Senior brother, how do you know where they erected the Immortal Card? Could it be that senior brother has some secret method to read other people's memories?"
Lu Li turned left, turned his head to look at Chen Zhishuo during the turn, and said, "There are writings in the ancestral hall."
Chen Zhishuo: "...I see."
The two walked for more than half an hour, and finally saw a man-made platform.
The marble originally used to build the platform was mostly cracked, and green weeds grew out of the cracks. The weeds were dotted with small flowers that were purple on the outside and white on the inside. The grass was connected and full of vitality.The edge of the platform is even eroded by big trees, becoming a habitat for the creatures in the mountains.
But even so, the scale of this platform is breathtaking, which shows the scale of the Nagato sect 600 years ago.
Lu Li looked around the platform and found nothing unusual, so he called Chen Zhisuo, "Use blindfolded, go in and have a look."
At the end of the platform was a tall stone gate. Chen Zhisuo raised his head and looked up. There were two characters written on the stone gate, but the handwriting was blurred due to hundreds of years of wind and rain, making it unreadable.
The two walked through the stone gate, followed by hundreds of stone steps, with several strings of animal paw prints on them.On both sides of the stone steps, there are two stone carvings of cranes at intervals of one zhang. However, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, many stone carvings only have their bases left.
Chen Zhishuo knelt down, stretched out his hand to wipe a series of clearly visible paw prints on the stone steps, and judged: "This series of paw prints is still fresh, there should be animals that have just visited here. Senior brother, do you think if there is a series of 'phantoms' here? Siren, will these beasts come?"
Lu Li thought for a while and told him, "Be careful."
"Okay, then let's go."
After walking the stone steps, you can see the original hall of Nagato. From the perspective of Chen Zhishuo's modern people, this is a real dilapidated building that needs to be demolished urgently.Although the wooden gates, pillars, and window lattices are painted with moth-proof and moth-proof red paint, most of the red paint has peeled off.The pillars were crumbling, most of the windows had only a frame left, and the door was open, shaking slightly in the wind.
"Brother!" Chen Zhishuo called to stop Lu Li in a low voice, "This house may be about to collapse."
"We still have to go in and look for clues." Lu Li comforted him, "If you are afraid, just wait for me outside."
This place was not popular, and it looked eerie in broad daylight. Chen Zhisuo didn't dare to stay away from Lu Li.He would rather hold Lu Li's thigh tightly and be crushed by the falling house than stand alone at the door and wait for Lu Li - according to Chen Zhisuo's years of experience watching horror movies, once the characters in the story are left alone, the gears of bad luck will start to turn.
Chen Zhishuo shamelessly found an excuse, and followed Lu Li up the steps: "I'd better go in with senior brother, so I can take care of everything."
Lu Li lowered his head and hummed.When he raised his head again, Chen Zhishuo seemed to see a chuckle on his face that hadn't faded away in time.
"Go in."
Chen Zhishuo didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly followed.
The main hall has been in disrepair for a long time, and the roof has collapsed halfway. The sunlight directly shines down from above, somewhat dispelling the corrupt atmosphere.The ground is full of dust, obviously no one or non-human has been here recently.
In the center of the main hall is a half-person-high stone platform, without any statues on it, only a stone tablet is left.The stele was covered with cobwebs and dust. Lu Li stretched out his hand to signal Chen Zhisuo to back away, and he blew a long and slow breath towards the stele to blow away all the spider web dust.Then, he took out a small bottle with a narrow mouth and poured out some red powder—it was the tracking powder commonly used by the Jade Market Gate.
Lu Li recited a spring water curse.A stream of clear water gushed out from the tip of Lu Li's left finger and gathered in the palm of his right hand.Lu Li rubbed his hands a few more times, applied the mud-like tracking powder on the stone tablet, and then scraped it with his fingers from top to bottom, and the writing on the stone tablet was clearly visible.
yes!I can also wash my hands with the fountain curse!
Chen Zhishuo suddenly realized, and hurriedly followed suit.
Lu Li took two steps back to make room for Chen Zhisuo, and said to Chen Zhisuo, "Junior brother, come and see."
Chen Zhishuo washed his hands clean, and he was not polite, he leaned over to the stele and looked at it carefully.
The words on the stele are concise and to the point, telling the life experience of the senior in the cultivation world who ascended 600 years ago.
Chen Zhishuo learned classical Chinese quite well in middle school. Combining the context to deduce and understand, he finally got a general understanding of this person's life.
This person appeared suddenly on the stone steps of Nagato.
Yes, suddenly.
The cleaning boy saw him appearing on the stone steps out of thin air.Because he was dressed strangely when he appeared, he was once mistaken for a monster. After suffering in Nagato for several days, he found out later that he was just an ordinary person.Seeing that he had lost his memory and was insane, but often had brilliant speeches with flashes of inspiration, the elder Nagato thought that this person was a "gifted by heaven" and would have a bright future in the future, so he accepted him as a disciple.
But in the following three years, although this person has practiced Nagato's secret method, his aptitude is mediocre, and he is very inconspicuous among many seniors.
Just when everyone stopped paying attention to him, strange stars appeared in the sky, and then a thunderbolt struck outside the main hall of Nagato.Immediately afterwards, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and countless thunder lights flashed in the clouds, heralding that terrible destruction was coming.Everyone was trembling, but this person ran directly to the ruins scorched by the thunder, raised his head, opened his hands, and called out loudly.
The second thunder struck, completely covering the man, the dazzling light forced everyone around to close their eyes.
When they opened their eyes again, the man was already standing in the dark clouds, surrounded by thunder and lightning, laughing and disappearing before their eyes.
Although the text is short, the image is vivid, and the narration of the last scene of ascension makes the readers stay in it, as if they have witnessed it with their own eyes.At the end of Chen Zhishuo's reading, his heartbeat accelerated in unison with everyone present in the inscription.
He raised his hand to cover his heart, and asked Lu Li, "Senior brother, is this an immortal being struck by lightning?"
Lu Li pursed his lips: "I haven't seen it before."
"It's okay." Chen Zhishuo pretended that he was also scared, patted Lu Li's shoulder, and said comfortingly, "My aptitude is definitely hopeless for ascension. If I was there when senior brother ascended, I will definitely help you block the thunder."
Lu Li ignored him and went to check other places in the hall.Chen Zhishuo didn't dare to stay too far away from him, and followed him, looking for clues together.
"What did you find?" Lu Li asked him.
"No more." Chen Zhishuo said, "This hall should be used to entertain outsiders, and Nagato's other secrets may be elsewhere."
Lu Li nodded, "Go and have a look at the back."
10. Shengxian Town ([-])
◎Ability of Mirage◎
Bypassing the main hall, behind it is the place where Nagato's family lives on weekdays.
The buildings in the entire area are in the shape of an upside-down character, and in the center is a palace on the top of the Qikai intermittent mountain, which is also the largest building in the complex.On both sides are two-storey small buildings with five bays lined up in sequence, full of momentum.The most eye-catching one is the last pure white building on the left, which looks out of place among the many red and black buildings.
Chen Zhishuo and Lu Li looked at each other. Although there was no words between them, they walked towards the white building in a tacit understanding.
Taking a closer look, Chen Zhishuo found that there should have been five white jade pillars standing in front of the gate of this building, and the pillars supported the semicircular arch.But now three of them have collapsed into several sections, and even the arch dome supported by these white jade pillars also fell to the ground and fell apart.The style of this building is completely different from traditional Chinese architecture, more like Roman architecture.
Chen Zhishuo suddenly felt confused—could there be cultural exchanges between East and West in this world?
"I've never seen a building of this style before." Lu Li looked at the ruins in front of him, and he was on guard, "Junior Brother, be careful."
"It's okay, brother." Chen Zhishuo said, "Let's look outside first."
Sure enough, something was discovered.
About a foot away from the side of this Roman-style building, there is a mountain that has been manually excavated, and a white jade horizontal board is inlaid on it, with three large characters engraved on the board - Feixian place.
Under the white jade horizontal board, there are quite a few oblique rectangular objects, about the size of the palm of an adult man, mostly made of stone or wood, with two or three jade brands mixed in.Chen Zhishuo knelt down, picked up a fairly clean jade plaque, blew off the dust on it, and found two lines of characters engraved on it.
"Senior brother, look." This character is flying like a phoenix, and it is really difficult for Chen Zhishuo, a modern person who is used to simplified characters, so he had to show it to Lu Li.
Lu Li took it.
Chen Zhishuo was debating whether to insinuate things so that he could learn something about the enemy from Lu Li.Now that Lu Li took the initiative to speak, he felt more and more that Lu Li was not as arrogant as he wrote in the book.
