The villain!Come fight monsters with me!
Chapter 64 Origin · Medium
Xu Liuyun held a candle in one hand, the room was so dark that he couldn't see anything, only the candle light illuminated the photo in his hand.Xu Liuyun turned to the back of the photo. There were a few lines written in tall and straight fonts.
The photo reads: "Immortal Flower, Immortal Tears, Eternal Ice, Inherited Blood". p2231.
Xu Liuyun called Ming Chen over and asked, "What does this mean?" Ming Chen took the photo, and Xu Liuyun analyzed it: "The immortal flower is the flower that will not wither, and it should be the dragon's breath flower. Yongliu The ice, that should be the sea water of the ice sea. What are the other two?" Ming Chen turned over the photo and looked at the ghost child in the cave, he said softly: "I know the blood of inheritance..."
Holding the candle, Xu Liuyun looked up at him, his eyes were warmed by the candle.Ming Chen tilted his head, and said in a low voice, "Shall I collect some for you? Yours or mine?" Xu Liuyun looked at him suspiciously, and Ming Chen explained: "The blood of inheritance must be used to inherit the bloodline. Stuff, as the saying goes, essence and blood come from the same source, which probably refers to the penis ejaculated by a man."
Xu Liuyun was stunned for a moment, grabbed the photo and stared at it blankly, with silver hair hanging down his lap.Ming Chen said softly: "Master Priest, where are you thinking? This should be a scientific experiment to create something, why be shy?"
Xu Liuyun said angrily: "Shy? Who is shy? I know this is science... no... my grandfather made all the most primitive and ignorant witchcraft, which are all harmful things." Ming Chen asked Said: "Why do you think that witchcraft is harmful to people?" On the Amber Continent, there are many wizards who have made outstanding contributions, and they are an important branch of science.
Xu Liuyun choked, he couldn't remember his childhood, but subconsciously felt that way.Ming Chen noticed the numbers behind and said: "p2231...This should be the page number of a book, and it is a very thick book."
Holding a candle, Xu Liuyun rummaged around the room, and finally found a very thick book under the bed.The name of the book is in ancient characters: "Book of Prophecy".Xu Liuyun climbed onto the bed with the book in his arms, and opened the page 2231.
The ancient font is difficult to read, to the effect that an albino with long silver hair and transparent pupils will be born in the family. This person is a terrifying demon who will bring bad luck to the whole family.According to the prophecy, the devil will personally kill all his family members, including the devil's future lover.The silver-haired man... Isn't that Xu Liuyun?Xu Liuyun felt cold in his heart. In his memory, his family members were willing to send him to the Dragon Festival, probably to avoid this frightening fable.
Ming Chen also came over to take a look, Xu Liuyun forced a smile and said: "They are all feudal superstitions, what's so interesting. I have nothing to do with them a long time ago." He tried to close the book, but found that there was a strange, particularly thick sheet of paper on the pages. .
It turned out that there was a secret mezzanine here. Xu Liuyun carefully opened the mezzanine, and inside was a two-inch photo of a strange man.The man was wearing a blue shirt from the last era and round sunglasses.He was sitting in a boat. Xu Liuyun had never heard from his father since he was born, but when he saw this photo, his blood instinct made him feel that this person was his father.
Xu Liuyun found that the scenery in the photo was very familiar. This lake was the holy land for lovers near Jincheng University.He noticed that there seemed to be some vague writing on the back of the photo, which could not be seen clearly under the light of the candle.It seems to be: "Ayun...when you find out...Dad has..."
Xu Liuyun urgently wanted to see what message his father, who had been missing mysteriously, had left for him.Also, is he really the demon mentioned in the prophecy?Will kill all the family members?What happened to him before he was 9 years old?
Xu Liuyun was about to take a closer look, when suddenly his back felt cold, and the shadow around his neck stood upright, facing the dark corner behind the cabinet.
Xu Liuyun vaguely saw that there seemed to be someone there.He felt creepy and didn't know when this person came in.
Because there was no electric light here, Xu Liuyun could only hold a candle and ask, "Who is there?!" There was a sinister smile, and a person was squatting behind the cabinet.Holding a candle, Xu Liuyun came to the cabinet, only to see a woman squatting behind, staring at him intently.
The woman was wearing a long yellow dress, and her light yellow hair was now gray. It was his mother! !Mom suddenly grinned at him. What was horrifying was that the mouth was so dark that it didn't even have a tongue!
Xu Liuyun was taken aback for a moment, and her mother suddenly reached out and snatched the photo from Xu Liuyun's hand, and threw it into her mouth.Xu Liuyun pulled her hair hard, trying to make her spit it out, the woman let out a weird scream, and gave Xu Liuyun a very vicious look.That look made Xu Liuyun's whole body explode, and his hands loosened a little unconsciously.
Mom broke free from his grasp, rushed to the old wooden door and disappeared.Xu Liuyun stared at the wooden door, thinking of the dark stairs behind and the weird water tank upstairs.
He fell into a rare silence and retreated to the bedside.He whispered: "The family...is crazy. We took the white bird's blood and left tomorrow."
——————————————————————————————————————
late at night.Xu Liuyun fell asleep, and Mingchen was nowhere to be found. He often went out at night to hunt some strange prey.He came back early that night, the village was sparsely populated, and there was frozen frost and snow everywhere, and there was no sign of the white bird.
He opened the heavy curtain and saw that there was no one on the bed.The dark room was extremely quiet, but there was a person lying on the ground.When the people on the ground saw the door open, they suddenly raised their heads, quickly crawled to the door with all four limbs, and climbed out.This person was Xu Liuyun, as if he was sleepwalking, delirious.
Ming Chen followed him suspiciously, walking along the icy snow field, passing through the dense forest.
When Xu Liuyun woke up again, he found himself in a dark cave.There was some dry straw all around, and his body was curled up in the corner of the cave.
Unreasonable fear made him shiver.He huddled in a corner, just wanting to wait until dawn.Subconsciously, he knew that the darkness here was extremely terrifying.
A person walked in from outside the cave, it was Ming Chen, he squatted down in front of him tall and big, and asked, "Do you have any impression of this place?"
There are many strange pits in the cave, filled with a bloody smell that makes people chill.Xu Liuyun closed his eyes, shook his head, curled up there with his hands on his knees.
He said in a trembling voice: "Ah Chen...don't go out! There is danger outside, let's wait until dawn." Ming Chen was speechless, he couldn't empathize with Xu Liuyun's fear, and sat down beside him helplessly .Ming Chen felt that the cave was very oppressive, and something was slowly coming from the depths of the cave.
Xu Liuyun transformed into the Ming Xi sword and held it tightly in his arms.Ming Chen had never seen Xu Liuyun so timid and fearful, and felt that Xu Liuyun was cuter like this.
Ming Chen said: "Ah Yun, it sounds like there is something in the darkness." Xu Liuyun flinched, and Ming Chen leaned against him, stretching out his arms to almost wrap him in his arms, Xu Liuyun didn't make a fuss, let alone refuse .
Xu Liuyun did hear a voice in the darkness, he held his breath, it seemed that some monster was eating... Xu Liuyun's face was pale, the cave was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.
He said without words: "I remember when my mother sent me to the Dragon Festival, she said that my father's mysterious disappearance was due to a certain family secret. But I still don't know what they are up to. The formula, what is it? What's going on?"
He kept talking nervously, and suddenly he closed his mouth, the sound of eating became louder and louder, and there was even the sound of grinding bones with his teeth.Xu Liuyun touched the huge shadow on his body with his hands, unwilling to make a sound.
Suddenly, something attacked from the darkness, the shadow passed by like the wind, and Xu Liuyun clung to the cold stone wall as if frightened.It was a bloody mouse with bruises all over its body from some animal's claws.
Xu Liuyun vaguely saw something crawling out of the cave, and it rushed like two people!The monster approached quickly and silently. It was an old face full of wrinkles and ravines, but there was no nose on the face.
Even in the dark, Xu Liuyun could feel deep fear. This person was his grandfather. "It's grandpa..." Xu Liuyun held Ming Chen back, layers of fear appeared in his heart.
It was the feeling of fear engraved deep in his soul. In an instant, some vague memories that appeared in dreams flashed in Xu Liuyun's mind.
He wasn't sure if it was his memory, as if he was watching a movie, he saw his young self being dragged by this person and locked into a cave.He was locked with cold iron chains, locked in this cave like a dog who would never see the light of day.
Every time grandpa appeared, he was accompanied by violent punches and kicks. At that time, he felt that what grandpa said was true—the words that wanted to kill him.
Grandpa's face is very scary now, there are only two black spots on the nose, and the whole face looks like a cat.Xu Liuyun's back was already soaked. Although he knew that he had grown up now, he still didn't dare to look directly at his grandfather.
The monster looked at the two of them for a moment, and its Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if calling: "Ah Shuang".He suddenly rushed forward, pressed Ming Chen down with great force, and tightly strangled Ming Chen's neck with his skinny hands.
Before Mingchen's spirit snake phantom could move, a transparent long sword stabbed towards him obliquely.Xu Liuyun stood up from the darkness, holding the Ming Xi sword and wrestled with the monster.
Grandpa Maolian looked at Xu Liuyun and paused for a moment, and the long sword pierced his neck in an instant.Xu Liuyun lowered his eyes, pierced his Adam's apple with a sword, and warm blood flowed all over the floor.
For some reason, Xu Liuyun felt that there were traces of sadness in the monster's eyes.Xu Liuyun's Mingxi sword was very sharp, and blood dripped down from the thin transparent blade.
He vaguely heard the sound of many things crawling over from the depths of the cave, pulled up Ming Chen and said, "I remembered, I remembered a place they strictly prohibited me from going back then!"
Xu Liuyun and the two ran out of the cave, surrounded by boundless snow, and a biting cold wind blowing on the white trees.
Xu Liuyun recalled that there was one place that must not be mentioned back then, and that was the temple deep in the forest.
Temple of the Raven
The two ran to the temple deep in the forest in the icy snow field.Along the way, the feeling of being spied on and followed came again, as if there were people everywhere watching them secretly.The fog in the forest at night hides many cruel secrets.
The temple was dilapidated and small, and the dilapidated temple was lit with faint candles, and the censer was full of ashes.The door of the small temple was crumbling, Xu Liuyun looked into the overlapping mist, and there seemed to be many figures looming in the distance.
Xu Liuyun closed the temple door tightly, and there was a huge crow statue in the middle of the temple.It was a white crow, the special white bird here.No one knows why the crows here are white. The only explanation is that there is a genetic mutation due to the severe cold weather and the proximity to the mysterious Baiyun Mountain.
Xu Liuyun didn't know it when he was a child, but now he realizes that this Baiyun Village is a pagan village. They don't believe in the sea god, but believe in this white crow...
Xu Liuyun touched the statue of the crow, but didn't see anything unusual: "There's nothing strange here, why is the hour strictly prohibited?"
Ming Chen took the candlestick at the side and carefully looked at the crow.The green shadow has been in war for years, and there are graveyards everywhere. Mingchen has always been familiar with the secret passages of the underground mechanism. He found a few strange grooves on the crow's wings.
Xu Liuyun walked over and pressed the grooves violently with his hands, but the crow statue remained motionless.Ming Chen pushed Xu Liuyun's hand away, and twirled his slender fingers cleverly inside, the statue's wings slowly opened, as if it was about to fly.
Under the idol's wings, a complex cipher disk appeared.The outer disc of the disc is a portrait of some animals, namely cats, flies, rabbits, eagles, spiders and butterflies.The discs inside are engraved with eyes, noses, ears, tongues, babies, and ghosts.
Ming Chen said softly: "Some kind of sacrifice is being carried out here, and the people here lack part of their facial features. This kind of sacrifice must be for some purpose." Xu Liuyun said: "The cat-faced grandfather just now...he has no nose, so The first one should be stuffing the nose." Xu Liuyun turned the disc to match the cat and the nose. "The patterns inside represent the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind respectively," Xu Liuyun analyzed: "An old story is passed down. Someone dreams that he has become a butterfly, so the butterfly means meaning, which is this soul pattern."
The next rabbit should be the ears, and the fly should be the eyes.Xu Liuyun logically sorted them out in an orderly manner, and turned the disc carefully.When he numbered all the animals one by one, he found that the crow's eyes began to move.
His cold eyes fell on Xu Liuyun.Xu Liuyun's back felt cold, and he flew out with Ming Chen, countless black crows suddenly flew down from the ceiling.
These crows are all made of iron, like countless sharp daggers.Xu Liuyun swung his long sword desperately to block the Iron Crow, and said angrily, "Where did I make a mistake?! Mingzhu, you don't even want to help me!!"
Xu Liuyun almost got his arm scratched by a crow, so he blocked it with the Ming Xi Sword.The iron crow fell obliquely to the ground, and a deep hole was smashed into the ground.Ming Chen flew to the front of the crow statue, his eyes were so red that they almost turned into the color of rubies.
However, the blood line on his forehead no longer throbbed violently, instead it was extremely dim, lining his forehead submissively.The phantom of the spirit snake flew up from Xu Liuyun's body, swept over, and brought down the iron crow in the air.The phantom tightly strangled the crow's beak, Ming Chen opened his left hand wide, and then clenched it tightly, the phantom tightly wrapped around the crow's beak.Numerous cracks appeared on the beak, and it finally shattered.
At the same time as the crow statue was destroyed, dense quicksand suddenly poured down from the ceiling of the temple almost instantly.The quicksand was hot, Xu Liuyun flew up from the sky, the crow's mouth was wide open, and a staircase appeared inside.The two flew down the stairs, and the quicksand kept pouring in, blocking their mouths.
The shadow returned to Xu Liuyun's shoulders, like a cloak.The two came to the underground palace of the temple.
Unexpectedly, the small temple above and the underground palace are so huge.The underground palace is like a library, with countless small wooden boxes on the sky-high bookshelves.
Xu Liuyun walked over and opened a wooden box. Inside was a round eyeball, staring at Xu Liuyun coldly.
Ming Chen said: "The place where the offerings are placed."
Xu Liuyun looked up at the tall bookshelves. How many people's organs are placed in such a huge underground palace?Their power must not be limited to just Baiyun Village, what exactly are they going to do?
Xu Liuyun noticed that a strange s-shaped symbol was engraved on each wooden box.He looked at it inexplicably, the underground palace was very empty, except for the stone bookshelves placed against the four walls, there was nothing else.
Xu Liuyun suddenly said: "Achen, do you feel that it's cold here?"
Logically speaking, Xu Liuyun seldom feels cold. He has been swimming in the icy sea water all year round, and his physique is not that of an ordinary person, but now, he feels a bone-chilling cold.
He couldn't help shivering and hugged his arms.Ming Chen withdrew his spirit snake phantom, Xu Liuyun still didn't get better, the skin on his hands also cracked, and frostbite appeared instantly.
Ming Chen said in a low voice: "Most temples have guardians, but we come here without hindrance." Xu Liuyun folded his arms and said, "Guard...Guardian?"
Ming Chen raised his head and looked up, squinting his eyes.
Xu Liuyun found that the exit had been blocked by quicksand. His lips turned pale from the cold, and he turned into a Mingxi sword, and he pawed at the sand, hoping to find a way out.The temperature in the temple plummeted, and even the stone bookshelves were covered with frost at a speed visible to the naked eye. The sudden coldness... What is the reason?
Where is the invisible guardian of the temple?Ming Chen suddenly flew up and came to the stone wall, he found a very weak place on the stone wall.
It turns out that when building underground palaces, in order to prevent the treasures inside from being stolen, there will always be anti-theft devices such as quicksand and poisonous arrows.Once it touches the organ, the treasure thief will be buried in it.The coolies who built it at that time were often buried in the ground, and they were buried together to prevent them from revealing their secrets.These coolies often leave some secret doors for escape in the underground palace.
Ming Chen crushed the two stone slabs with his palm, and a low hole like a dog hole appeared underneath.Xu Liuyun was so cold that his hands were covered with frostbite, he quickly crawled into the dog hole without distinguishing between three and seven.
Xu Liuyun's body arched and arched, and disappeared into the dark cave.Ming Chen hesitated for a moment with his raised palm, he originally wanted to break through the entire wall, crawling like a dog, it would be too disrespectful, but if he breaks through now, the Xu Liuyun underneath will definitely be crushed to pieces.
Ming Chen hesitated for a moment, transformed into a beautiful black and white snake, and crawled out along the dog hole.
Xu Liuyun crawled quickly in the cave, the cold almost made his hands and feet numb.Inside the dog hole, the temperature gradually picked up.The dog cave was pitch black, Xu Liuyun turned his head softly and said, "Ming Chen?"
There was no sound from behind, Xu Liuyun wanted to ignite the palm flame, he felt the heat of the spiritual fire in his palm, but it was still pitch black in front of him.
He blinked hard, but couldn't feel any light.
Xu Liuyun felt something thin and cool crawling up his back, and his back couldn't help but straighten.The thing crawled over his bare neck and stopped next to his ear.
Xu Liuyun touched it with his hand, and it turned out to be a snake.He felt relieved, and only heard Ming Chen whispering in his ear: "The temple and the mountain are one, and these are the power of Baiyun Mountain."
Xu Liuyun said in horror: "Baiyun Mountain?? Can a mountain be conscious?" Ming Chen said: "It is blocking intruders. First it deprives the temperature, and then it brings down the darkness."
Fortunately, Mingchen's body doesn't need eyesight, it crawled down along Xu Liuyun's body.Xu Liuyun was groping on the ground, suddenly he felt a rustling sound behind him, his waist felt cold, as if something flew over from above.It fell heavily to the ground.
It turned out that in the darkness, a highly poisonous human-faced bird flew down from the top of the cave, but unfortunately it was destroyed by Ming Chen's phantom before it could eat Xu Liuyun.
Ming Chen pressed against the ground, using his bones and snake scales to feel the slight rhythm of the ground.He wrapped his tail around Xu Liuyun's hair and dragged Xu Liuyun forward.
Xu Liuyun only felt that his scalp was being pulled very painfully, and hurried to catch up with Mingchen, he didn't pay attention, and bumped into the protruding stone with a bang.
Xu Liuyun's palms were cracked by the cold, and a lump bulged on his head. He gritted his teeth and was dragged out by Ming Chen.
The exit of the cave turned out to be in a snow mountain.
With the boundless thick white snow and the cold high full moon, the two of them made a big circle around the ground, and unexpectedly came to the nearby forbidden place Baiyun Mountain.
White trees stand abruptly, and there are many animal footprints on the snow-capped mountains.Among the pure white trees, countless white birds can be seen, like flawless spirits in the world.
Xu Liuyun was tortured terribly in the dog cave, seeing such a majestic scene at this moment, his heart was lifted.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, the melting water of the snow-capped mountains below is white and clear, reflecting countless moonlight, flowing continuously to the entire Minghuai country.The air here is extremely fresh and cold, with a little fragrance.
"Quack quack ----" A white bird swooped down and almost passed over the heads of the two of them.Xu Liuyun quickly pushed Ming Chen away: "The white bird has a curse on it, so it cannot be touched."
Xu Liuyun has heard about the secrets of the white birds. Legend has it that they are all transformed from the souls of dead people. Once touched by a living person, the soul of the living person will be sucked into the white birds.
Here the world is lofty and remote, independent of the world, but it cannot stay for long.Xu Liuyun and the others wanted to catch a white bird, but the white birds flew extremely fast and appeared in groups, not staying on the trees on the ground at all.
The photo reads: "Immortal Flower, Immortal Tears, Eternal Ice, Inherited Blood". p2231.
Xu Liuyun called Ming Chen over and asked, "What does this mean?" Ming Chen took the photo, and Xu Liuyun analyzed it: "The immortal flower is the flower that will not wither, and it should be the dragon's breath flower. Yongliu The ice, that should be the sea water of the ice sea. What are the other two?" Ming Chen turned over the photo and looked at the ghost child in the cave, he said softly: "I know the blood of inheritance..."
Holding the candle, Xu Liuyun looked up at him, his eyes were warmed by the candle.Ming Chen tilted his head, and said in a low voice, "Shall I collect some for you? Yours or mine?" Xu Liuyun looked at him suspiciously, and Ming Chen explained: "The blood of inheritance must be used to inherit the bloodline. Stuff, as the saying goes, essence and blood come from the same source, which probably refers to the penis ejaculated by a man."
Xu Liuyun was stunned for a moment, grabbed the photo and stared at it blankly, with silver hair hanging down his lap.Ming Chen said softly: "Master Priest, where are you thinking? This should be a scientific experiment to create something, why be shy?"
Xu Liuyun said angrily: "Shy? Who is shy? I know this is science... no... my grandfather made all the most primitive and ignorant witchcraft, which are all harmful things." Ming Chen asked Said: "Why do you think that witchcraft is harmful to people?" On the Amber Continent, there are many wizards who have made outstanding contributions, and they are an important branch of science.
Xu Liuyun choked, he couldn't remember his childhood, but subconsciously felt that way.Ming Chen noticed the numbers behind and said: "p2231...This should be the page number of a book, and it is a very thick book."
Holding a candle, Xu Liuyun rummaged around the room, and finally found a very thick book under the bed.The name of the book is in ancient characters: "Book of Prophecy".Xu Liuyun climbed onto the bed with the book in his arms, and opened the page 2231.
The ancient font is difficult to read, to the effect that an albino with long silver hair and transparent pupils will be born in the family. This person is a terrifying demon who will bring bad luck to the whole family.According to the prophecy, the devil will personally kill all his family members, including the devil's future lover.The silver-haired man...

Xu Liuyun didn't know it when he was a child, but now he realizes that this Baiyun Village is a pagan village. They don't believe in the sea god, but believe in this white crow...
Xu Liuyun touched the statue of the crow, but didn't see anything unusual: "There's nothing strange here, why is the hour strictly prohibited?"
Ming Chen took the candlestick at the side and carefully looked at the crow.The green shadow has been in war for years, and there are graveyards everywhere. Mingchen has always been familiar with the secret passages of the underground mechanism. He found a few strange grooves on the crow's wings.
Xu Liuyun walked over and pressed the grooves violently with his hands, but the crow statue remained motionless.Ming Chen pushed Xu Liuyun's hand away, and twirled his slender fingers cleverly inside, the statue's wings slowly opened, as if it was about to fly.
Under the idol's wings, a complex cipher disk appeared.The outer disc of the disc is a portrait of some animals, namely cats, flies, rabbits, eagles, spiders and butterflies.The discs inside are engraved with eyes, noses, ears, tongues, babies, and ghosts.
Ming Chen said softly: "Some kind of sacrifice is being carried out here, and the people here lack part of their facial features. This kind of sacrifice must be for some purpose." Xu Liuyun said: "The cat-faced grandfather just now...he has no nose, so The first one should be stuffing the nose." Xu Liuyun turned the disc to match the cat and the nose. "The patterns inside represent the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind respectively," Xu Liuyun analyzed: "An old story is passed down. Someone dreams that he has become a butterfly, so the butterfly means meaning, which is this soul pattern."
The next rabbit should be the ears, and the fly should be the eyes.Xu Liuyun logically sorted them out in an orderly manner, and turned the disc carefully.When he numbered all the animals one by one, he found that the crow's eyes began to move.
His cold eyes fell on Xu Liuyun.Xu Liuyun's back felt cold, and he flew out with Ming Chen, countless black crows suddenly flew down from the ceiling.
These crows are all made of iron, like countless sharp daggers.Xu Liuyun swung his long sword desperately to block the Iron Crow, and said angrily, "Where did I make a mistake?! Mingzhu, you don't even want to help me!!"
Xu Liuyun almost got his arm scratched by a crow, so he blocked it with the Ming Xi Sword.The iron crow fell obliquely to the ground, and a deep hole was smashed into the ground.Ming Chen flew to the front of the crow statue, his eyes were so red that they almost turned into the color of rubies.
However, the blood line on his forehead no longer throbbed violently, instead it was extremely dim, lining his forehead submissively.The phantom of the spirit snake flew up from Xu Liuyun's body, swept over, and brought down the iron crow in the air.The phantom tightly strangled the crow's beak, Ming Chen opened his left hand wide, and then clenched it tightly, the phantom tightly wrapped around the crow's beak.Numerous cracks appeared on the beak, and it finally shattered.
At the same time as the crow statue was destroyed, dense quicksand suddenly poured down from the ceiling of the temple almost instantly.The quicksand was hot, Xu Liuyun flew up from the sky, the crow's mouth was wide open, and a staircase appeared inside.The two flew down the stairs, and the quicksand kept pouring in, blocking their mouths.
The shadow returned to Xu Liuyun's shoulders, like a cloak.The two came to the underground palace of the temple.
Unexpectedly, the small temple above and the underground palace are so huge.The underground palace is like a library, with countless small wooden boxes on the sky-high bookshelves.
Xu Liuyun walked over and opened a wooden box. Inside was a round eyeball, staring at Xu Liuyun coldly.
Ming Chen said: "The place where the offerings are placed."
Xu Liuyun looked up at the tall bookshelves. How many people's organs are placed in such a huge underground palace?Their power must not be limited to just Baiyun Village, what exactly are they going to do?
Xu Liuyun noticed that a strange s-shaped symbol was engraved on each wooden box.He looked at it inexplicably, the underground palace was very empty, except for the stone bookshelves placed against the four walls, there was nothing else.
Xu Liuyun suddenly said: "Achen, do you feel that it's cold here?"
Logically speaking, Xu Liuyun seldom feels cold. He has been swimming in the icy sea water all year round, and his physique is not that of an ordinary person, but now, he feels a bone-chilling cold.
He couldn't help shivering and hugged his arms.Ming Chen withdrew his spirit snake phantom, Xu Liuyun still didn't get better, the skin on his hands also cracked, and frostbite appeared instantly.
Ming Chen said in a low voice: "Most temples have guardians, but we come here without hindrance." Xu Liuyun folded his arms and said, "Guard...Guardian?"
Ming Chen raised his head and looked up, squinting his eyes.
Xu Liuyun found that the exit had been blocked by quicksand. His lips turned pale from the cold, and he turned into a Mingxi sword, and he pawed at the sand, hoping to find a way out.The temperature in the temple plummeted, and even the stone bookshelves were covered with frost at a speed visible to the naked eye. The sudden coldness... What is the reason?
Where is the invisible guardian of the temple?Ming Chen suddenly flew up and came to the stone wall, he found a very weak place on the stone wall.
It turns out that when building underground palaces, in order to prevent the treasures inside from being stolen, there will always be anti-theft devices such as quicksand and poisonous arrows.Once it touches the organ, the treasure thief will be buried in it.The coolies who built it at that time were often buried in the ground, and they were buried together to prevent them from revealing their secrets.These coolies often leave some secret doors for escape in the underground palace.
Ming Chen crushed the two stone slabs with his palm, and a low hole like a dog hole appeared underneath.Xu Liuyun was so cold that his hands were covered with frostbite, he quickly crawled into the dog hole without distinguishing between three and seven.
Xu Liuyun's body arched and arched, and disappeared into the dark cave.Ming Chen hesitated for a moment with his raised palm, he originally wanted to break through the entire wall, crawling like a dog, it would be too disrespectful, but if he breaks through now, the Xu Liuyun underneath will definitely be crushed to pieces.
Ming Chen hesitated for a moment, transformed into a beautiful black and white snake, and crawled out along the dog hole.
Xu Liuyun crawled quickly in the cave, the cold almost made his hands and feet numb.Inside the dog hole, the temperature gradually picked up.The dog cave was pitch black, Xu Liuyun turned his head softly and said, "Ming Chen?"
There was no sound from behind, Xu Liuyun wanted to ignite the palm flame, he felt the heat of the spiritual fire in his palm, but it was still pitch black in front of him.
He blinked hard, but couldn't feel any light.
Xu Liuyun felt something thin and cool crawling up his back, and his back couldn't help but straighten.The thing crawled over his bare neck and stopped next to his ear.
Xu Liuyun touched it with his hand, and it turned out to be a snake.He felt relieved, and only heard Ming Chen whispering in his ear: "The temple and the mountain are one, and these are the power of Baiyun Mountain."
Xu Liuyun said in horror: "Baiyun Mountain?? Can a mountain be conscious?" Ming Chen said: "It is blocking intruders. First it deprives the temperature, and then it brings down the darkness."
Fortunately, Mingchen's body doesn't need eyesight, it crawled down along Xu Liuyun's body.Xu Liuyun was groping on the ground, suddenly he felt a rustling sound behind him, his waist felt cold, as if something flew over from above.It fell heavily to the ground.
It turned out that in the darkness, a highly poisonous human-faced bird flew down from the top of the cave, but unfortunately it was destroyed by Ming Chen's phantom before it could eat Xu Liuyun.
Ming Chen pressed against the ground, using his bones and snake scales to feel the slight rhythm of the ground.He wrapped his tail around Xu Liuyun's hair and dragged Xu Liuyun forward.
Xu Liuyun only felt that his scalp was being pulled very painfully, and hurried to catch up with Mingchen, he didn't pay attention, and bumped into the protruding stone with a bang.
Xu Liuyun's palms were cracked by the cold, and a lump bulged on his head. He gritted his teeth and was dragged out by Ming Chen.
The exit of the cave turned out to be in a snow mountain.
With the boundless thick white snow and the cold high full moon, the two of them made a big circle around the ground, and unexpectedly came to the nearby forbidden place Baiyun Mountain.
White trees stand abruptly, and there are many animal footprints on the snow-capped mountains.Among the pure white trees, countless white birds can be seen, like flawless spirits in the world.
Xu Liuyun was tortured terribly in the dog cave, seeing such a majestic scene at this moment, his heart was lifted.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, the melting water of the snow-capped mountains below is white and clear, reflecting countless moonlight, flowing continuously to the entire Minghuai country.The air here is extremely fresh and cold, with a little fragrance.
"Quack quack ----" A white bird swooped down and almost passed over the heads of the two of them.Xu Liuyun quickly pushed Ming Chen away: "The white bird has a curse on it, so it cannot be touched."
Xu Liuyun has heard about the secrets of the white birds. Legend has it that they are all transformed from the souls of dead people. Once touched by a living person, the soul of the living person will be sucked into the white birds.
Here the world is lofty and remote, independent of the world, but it cannot stay for long.Xu Liuyun and the others wanted to catch a white bird, but the white birds flew extremely fast and appeared in groups, not staying on the trees on the ground at all.
