Nine thousand years old

The whistling wind sounded outside the temple, as if it was mixed with the rain. Gradually, the sound of the rain became louder and louder, and the wind blew a coolness with a slightly astringent earthy smell.

Among the four, Mingli's five senses are the strongest, so his words are naturally accurate, Wuchang's expression changed, he pulled out the chain and said, "I'll go and lead them away."

Li Jian was worried, took out a handful of charms and held them tightly: "I'm with you."

Wuchang frowned, and before he could speak, Mingli stopped him: "Yuanyuan and I will go, you guys stare at the stone statue, if there is anything unusual here, play it by ear."

Li Siyuan naturally had no objection, and followed Mingli quickly from the path to the river bank.

There weren't many murlocs outside, and they didn't seem to notice them. They were just wandering outside the temple. Ming Li made a noise on purpose, and soon those murlocs rushed towards them.

Ming Li dragged Li Siyuan to the river bank, and there were more and more murlocs behind them. They could tentatively lure the murlocs to the entrance of the village. As expected, those murlocs flinched as soon as they got near the village.

Li Siyuan was puzzled, the behavior of these murlocs didn't seem to be forcing them back, but more like they were afraid of something.

The village was deathly silent at night, and the moonlight in the sky was bleak, shining on the houses, as if they were covered with a layer of veil.

Ming Li stared at the murlocs who were still guarding outside the village, turned his head to Li Siyuan and said, "Let's go inside and have a look."

Li Siyuan's thoughts turned slightly. If these murlocs have something to fear, they should not get close to them after becoming murlocs... then what could it be?

He blinked, and walked to a house with Ming Li and opened the door. The furnishings in the house were ordinary, but the most conspicuous thing was that there were four coffins in the house.

Li Siyuan was taken aback by this sight, and walked up close to Mingli, only to find that some of the coffins were empty.

"What does this mean? Could it be that when these people lie in the coffin after sunset, they will turn into murlocs and crawl out of the water?" Li Siyuan said and took a step back. The stench in the coffin was extremely stench, making his stomach churn. .

He suddenly wondered whether they would also become murlocs if they lay in the coffin.

Ming Li didn't speak, pulled him out of the house, turned around and walked to the next house.

And there were several coffins placed in each house, Li Siyuan gradually became a little numb and no longer frightened, but the two of them walked around and only found these coffins, nothing else unusual.

Li Siyuan touched his chin, feeling a little strange: "Could it be that those murlocs are afraid of coffins?"

Ming Li shook his head: "Probably not."

Li Siyuan couldn't figure it out, could it be that they guessed wrong, there is not something here, but some kind of restriction?

Ming Li never liked to guess, so he took Li Siyuan to the entrance of the village and caught a murloc to test it out.

If there is a restriction, then there must be some consequences after the murloc enters the village, and it may be wiped out in an instant.

But the murloc was just struggling in terror, Ming Li and Li Siyuan watched for a long time, and there was nothing unusual about the murloc.

Ming Li pursed his lips, and let go of the murloc. The murloc wailed in horror, and immediately jumped out and fled back into the river.

Li Siyuan frowned and said, "There must be something here that we haven't found. Could it be related to divine power?"

Ming Li didn't speak, staring at his hair, thoughtfully led him to the village, looking at Li Siyuan's hair as he walked.

Li Siyuan was terrified by his look: "Don't look at me like that, there won't be anything on my head... What kind of bloody head or something?"

Ming Li pinched his face comfortingly: "No, I was just looking at your stupid hair."

Li Siyuan was startled, his lock of hair has never grown, Mingli has disliked it for a long time, don't pull it out for him.

He covered his head vigilantly: "Don't even try to touch my hair!"

Seeing that he didn't understand, Mingli laughed out loud: "Have you noticed any difference?"

Li Siyuan tilted his head: "What's the difference?"

Ming Li looked at Jiang Shui, closed his eyes, then turned to look at him and said, "Feng."

Li Siyuan thought for a few seconds, but he didn't react for a while, Mingli pulled him to continue walking in one direction of the village, and explained: "Do you remember what the wind outside the village looks like?"

"It's very windy outside, but the village is very calm..." Li Siyuan was a little stunned: "You think that thing can affect the strength of the wind."

Ming Li smiled: "That's right."

Li Siyuan looked at the river outside, white waves surged under the moonlight, the night here was not peaceful, but standing here at this moment, he could only feel the gentle wind.

Ming Li's guess was right, until the dumb hair on Li Siyuan's head remained motionless, they looked down at the soil under their feet, looked at each other, and each found a tool to dig the soil.

Mingli's strength is great, digging the soil is like cutting tofu, Li Siyuan dug a few times and then felt that he was in the way, so he squatted aside and watched Mingli.

Soon there was a deep pit on the ground, the hoe in Ming Li's hand touched something hard, he paused slightly, raised his head and said to Li Siyuan who was outside the pit, "I found it."

Li Siyuan jumped down and pushed away the soil bit by bit, and the exquisite wooden box slowly appeared.

The two took out the box and opened it, but it turned out to be another box. Li Siyuan patted Mingli's hand and said excitedly, "Isn't this the same box as the stone statue is holding?"

But as soon as his words fell, the red light outside exploded. The two of them were startled, and when they jumped out of the pit, they saw the red light coming from the direction of the temple.

Mingli immediately turned into a dragon body, the box was not big, square and square, Li Siyuan grabbed the box in his hands and climbed onto Mingli's back, the two quickly flew towards the temple.

Sure enough, those murlocs were attracted by the red light, and Li Siyuan held the box in his hand, and wherever he went, the murlocs immediately dispersed like a tide.

Li Jian and Wuchang were fighting with the murlocs, and suddenly they saw the murlocs running away, and then a golden dragon flew into the temple.

Li Siyuan jumped down, Mingli simply did not return to human form, and his huge body stood guard at the entrance of the cave.

Although it was not the first time Li Jian saw Mingli's prototype, he was still speechless in shock. He wanted to touch the majestic golden scales, but he didn't have the courage to reach out.

Li Siyuan knew that the transformation still had an impact on Mingli, he patted Mingli's paw worriedly, and asked, "How are you?"

Ming Li didn't open his mouth, but his voice sounded: "It's all right, it's just that I can't change back for the time being."

Li Siyuan frowned, turned his head to look at the stone statue, no matter what, he felt that the posture of the stone statue was different from before, and the eyes seemed to be slowly opening.

"The box in her hand seems to be the same as this one." Li Siyuan said holding up the box.

Li Jian took it over and looked at it, and said in amazement: "It must be worth a lot of money."

After that, his eyes lit up: "Can you take it out?"

Li Siyuan knocked his head down: "I'll open it and have a look."

Li Jian immediately handed over the box, Li Siyuan took it and paused, looking at Mingli.

"These two boxes are a pair, take a look at what's inside."

Ming Li's stature was huge, and he could see the box in the stone statue's hand without any effort, and with a touch of his head, the box in the stone statue's hand fell steadily into Wuchang's hands.

Only then did Li Siyuan open the two boxes, but when he opened the first box, the stone statue roared.

This movement shook the entire temple. The stone statue lowered its head, as if staring at them, and its eyes were fully opened, but they were blood red.

Ming Li had been paying attention to this thing all the time, and when he saw that it was moving, he immediately flicked the dragon's tail, the head of the stone statue was instantly torn apart, and Wuchang hurriedly dragged the two of them out of the temple.

However, the stone statue seemed to be completely alive. The stone that fell on the ground automatically returned to its original position and recondensed into its original appearance.

It gradually stood up, and the lower body was actually octopus-like tentacles, and it was not stone, but soft flesh.

Soon the temple collapsed, and Li Siyuan was pulled down the mountain by Wuchang, watching Mingli and the stone statue being smashed down, his heart suddenly rose to his throat, and the next moment he saw two equally huge bodies standing up from the ruins .

One was the golden figure of Mingli, and the other was the stone statue. Li Siyuan saw the tentacle flying towards them, and was bitten off by the golden dragon again, spattering crimson blood.

The stone statue screamed in pain, but soon the tentacles regenerated rapidly, and fought with the golden dragon again.

And that stone statue was also very powerful, seeing that Ming Li was difficult to entangle, it stretched out its hand to grab it instantly, and countless tentacles also attacked Ming Li, quickly restraining Ming Li.

Ming Li uttered a long chant, which made Li Siyuan's eardrums ache, but he was so anxious that he saw Ming Li being entangled and fell to the side of the cliff, making a loud noise.

The golden dragon struggled hard, the scales on his body stood up, the sharp blade-like scales cut off those tentacles, after a little break free, he immediately wrapped around the body of the stone statue, and strangled tightly with the dragon's body.

The stone statue didn't dare to pester Mingli any more, and slammed into the mountain indiscriminately, as crazy as if they were going to die together, Wuchang ran away immediately, wrapped the chain around the stone statue's neck, and strangled it tightly.

Li Siyuan couldn't help, he was anxious but he couldn't do anything, he looked down at the two boxes, ever since he opened the box, he always had a feeling of can't wait, this emotion came suddenly and violently.

A trace of familiar mist flew out from the gap in the box, he turned his mind, and quickly opened the two boxes together, ignoring the movement over there.

The black mist came from all directions, and Mingli's heart was shocked, he let go of the stone statue and flew towards Li Siyuan.

Li Siyuan was hit by the mist, but he didn't feel any pain. He could see the whole Taoyuan Realm, but his body couldn't move. Soon his eyes went blank, and his whole body flew out.

The ancient sutras resounded bursts, the village glowed with light, the murlocs on the river bank turned into mist, and the world returned to peace.

Ming Li felt that the stone statue stopped moving and dissipated into the air in the next second. He watched the black mist gathering between the sky and the earth rush towards Li Siyuan, but was blocked by a barrier.

Li Siyuan was floating in the air, feeling this familiar force, he tentatively clenched his fist, the lotus on his left shoulder protruded, vines surrounded his half body, and the lotus bloomed on his shoulder.

Soon his face was covered with black totems, and the imprint was like a spell or a symbol, representing the most fair and absolute power in the world.

However, Li Siyuan at this moment does not know that his soul has leapt to a different space, the world here is like a sea, he stands on the sea, looking at the dazzling white around him, at a loss and at a loss.

He lowered his head, his face was reflected in the water, and the familiar black mark climbed on his forehead, which he had seen on the face of Old Yama.

"You came."

A deep voice sounded, and it seemed to reverberate in this place. Li Siyuan opened his eyes wide, and he could hear the thumping in his chest.

A secret, silent sadness filled his heart.

It is like a familiarity engraved deep in the soul that can never be removed.
