Chapter 258 The Jingjue Queen, the power of demon eyes?


"Brother Chen, do you suspect it is an imitation?"

See Huamaguai filing away with dozens of waiters.

Thanks to the foreign treasure-stealing team, the ancient city of Xiye was dug out in all directions.

Now they have saved a lot of effort.

No more effort required.

Otherwise, they would have to stay at least ten days and a half just to clean up the yellow sand accumulated over thousands of years.

For them, there is no delay at all.

Withdraw your gaze from outside the stone door.

Partridge Whistle stared at the jade bead in the gold plate and said thoughtfully.

As a Zagrama tribesman, he knows very well what jade eyeballs represent.

Therefore, the shock he received at this moment was by no means less than that of Chen Yulou. Even the fear of ghost caves engraved deep in his blood surged up again the moment he saw it.

But...

He never mentioned this matter, it was really hard to say clearly.

I can only ask vaguely.

“Yes.”

See how careful he is.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but have a flash of helplessness in his eyes.

The ancient city of Jingjue is within easy reach, and the Kunlun Temple is not far away either.

What's more, the Muchen Bead has been obtained for several months, so there is no need to be so entangled.

“Brother Taoist, do you think this object is very similar to the Muchen Bead?”

"This..."

Listen to him.

Partridge Whistle felt shocked.

More than similar?

Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Zagrama clan migrated from the distant Eastern European continent to the Holy Mountain. They were divided into four tribes and existed to protect the Holy Mountain. It was not until hundreds of years later that someone discovered the belly of the Holy Mountain. The ghost cave underneath.

At that time, ancient rumors about the Muchen Bead, a sacred object from the Demon Kingdom, were still circulating on the Holy Mountain.

According to the rumors, the high priest ordered someone to imitate the jade eyes.

The jade bead in front of me is clearly carved in the shape of a jade eyeball.

In the final analysis.

They were all formed using Muchen Beads as samples.

"Like."

Take a deep breath, suppress the random thoughts in his heart, and nodded.

He originally wanted to guide this object to the Muchen Bead.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yulou had already thought of this step.

"So, what Brother Chen means is that Xiye Kingdom has seen the Muchen Bead before, so he imitated it in an attempt to obtain its power?"

About that.

Partridge Whistle is really unclear.

After all, the ancient kingdom of Jingjue was only established thousands of years after the Zagrama clan moved to the interior.

Even they can only be regarded as the fourth group of people from the Holy Mountain.

The Snow Demon Kingdom, the Zagrama Clan, the Samsara Sect, and then the Ghost Cave Clan.

"It shouldn't be possible if I've seen it before."

Chen Yulou shook his head and analyzed it carefully.

“Brother Dao, have you forgotten?”

“In the ancient Dian Kingdom, that is, during the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the Muchen Bead had already been presented to the king and buried with him in Zhelong Mountain.”

"But judging from the inscription on the previous golden bead, the Western Night should have started in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The two timelines are too far apart."

"Also..."

Partridge Whistle was suddenly startled.

This point was ignored by him.

"Brother Dao, do you think there is a possibility that it is not the Muchen Bead, but an imitation of it?"

Chen Yulou raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said meaningfully.

With these words, Partridge Whistle's suppressed emotions burst out again, his face full of disbelief.

Staring at Chen Yulou, as if he wanted to see through him.

I can think of this step just by looking at the jade bead in front of me. What is the difference between it and a prophet who predicts the future?

You know, Zagrama is also called the prophet family.

It was precisely because the prophet saw the scene of his people moving to the east eight hundred years after his death that he left his last words to move eastward to search for pearls.

Unfortunately, as thousands of years have passed, the ability of prophets to predict has gradually faded away.

In their generation, no one understands it.

But today, he suddenly saw this magical ability in Chen Yulou.

Peep into the ghost cave with your jade eyes.

This matter is the biggest secret in the family.

After thousands of years, except for the clan members who inherited the position of clan leader and were qualified to read it from the clan books, the ordinary clan members did not know why they suffered such suffering for thousands of years.

Partridge Shao also took over the position from the previous generation of Taoist Banshan. After reading the family book, he learned about this secret past.

Even Hua Ling and the old foreigner don’t know.

Now, Chen Yulou can say everything word for word.

What is it if it’s not a prophet?

"Brother Dao, you don't think he can be trusted?"

Seeing him stunned in place, Chen Yulou smiled softly.

"No...no, I just suddenly remembered something."

Partridge Whistle shook his head, not daring to think more.

He was afraid that if he continued to think about it, he would only get himself into deeper trouble.

"Since Brother Chen wants to find a place to make jade, instead of letting Brother Guaizi and others look for it, Yang has a better way."

"Oh, I wonder?"

Chen Yulou's heart moved.

There are many secret techniques in the Bishan lineage, so he just thought he had some kind of gold-seeking technique.

“Old foreigner!”

Partridge Whistle looked behind him.

The old foreigner has not gone far. At this moment, he is holding a wind lantern and looking at the murals on the high walls on both sides.

Hearing the call of his senior brother, the old foreigner instantly understood and handed the wind lantern to Kunlun aside, while he took off the bamboo basket behind him.

That bamboo basket.

Starting from the first meeting in Pingshan.

He almost never took it off.

The only time was because it was inconvenient to go to Chenzhou to fight for the Ancient Thunder Talisman, so I briefly gave the bamboo basket to my junior sister Hua Ling. After returning to Chenjiazhuang, it returned to him. .

Compared to the past.

The bamboo basket seems much heavier.

The moment it landed, the ground was shaken with dust.

Gently lift the curtain on the bamboo basket, and in an instant, a familiar sound of interlacing iron leaves echoes in the altar.

“An armored beast?”

There was a hint of surprise in Chen Yulou’s eyebrows.

The partridge whistle nodded, but did not say much. He just motioned to the old foreigner to invite the two armored beasts out.

Soon.

Two pangolin beasts, one large and one small, rolled from the bamboo basket to the ground.

Look at it carefully.

Even Chen Yulou couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

If I remember correctly, the last time I saw them was when I killed the black dragon in Longtan Mountain. The Partridge Whistle asked for a portion of blood essence and fed it to them.

I asked about the progress several times after that.

But he never saw his true form again.

Unexpectedly, when we meet again after half a year, not only have the two armored beasts turned into demons, but their demonic aura is even more majestic and astonishing, even more powerful than a tiger or leopard.

The iron leaves covering the whole body are also more terrifying than before.

The color is deep and dark, as if it has been soaked in an ink pool for a hundred days.

Especially the limbs under the body are thick and powerful, and the cold light above the nails and toes is like weapons.

Just standing there makes people feel frightened.

While he was still looking at it intently, Partridge Whistle had already taken out the jade bead from the gold plate, then leaned over and placed it under the noses of the two armored beasts and shook it gently. At the same time, he whispered something.

Crash—

In an instant.

In the originally quiet hall, a burst of movement like a gust of wind and rain resounded. The two armored beasts turned into a wisp of smoke and rushed out of the door, plunging into the depths of the mountains of quicksand.

See this situation.

Chen Yulou’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

It is indeed a bit unexpected that the armored beast can function in this way.

As the group of people and the two armored beasts disappeared.

Silence returned to the altar again.

Seeing that they might not be able to come back for a while, Chen Yulou did not take a break. He looked around, and his eyes finally fell on the looming murals on both sides.

Most of the murals record scenes of worshiping Buddhism at that time.

There are ancient envoys from the Brahma Kingdom riding elephants to promote Buddhism, there are also saints twisting tree branches in their hands to pray for blessings and cures for children, and there are countless people in Xiye Kingdom kneeling outside the altar to pray to the ancients. The scene of Buddha raining down dew.

"Shopkeeper Chen, Senior Brother, look here."

Just when he was a little impatient and his eyes were showing annoyance, an urgent voice suddenly came from behind.

Looking back, I saw that the old foreigner had crossed the stone platform at some point and walked around the shrine. He was holding a wind lantern in his hand and pointing at the innermost stone wall in great surprise.

“What is it?”

Looking at the change in his face, Chen Yulou suddenly noticed something.

The attention was quickly withdrawn from the murals and turned towards the old foreigner.

On the other side, Partridge Whistle and Kunlun were not slow either.

When they approached the outside of the shrine, with the light in his hand, they could clearly see a vast mural faintly emerging on the wall behind the staggered Buddha statues.

It is divided into three articles from right to left.

In the first chapter, a noble and majestic woman appears who cannot be looked directly at. She is seen wearing a crown and a robe, holding a jade bead in her hand, sitting high on the throne, coldly Looking down at the world.

Following the second chapter, the queen launched a war, and countless armored warriors fought on the battlefield, sweeping across the entire Western Region. All countries defeated their cities one by one, and then surrendered to the queen.

As for the last article.

The queen called a man to her, pointed to the jade bead in her hand, and then the man returned to the city, summoned all the jade craftsmen in the city, and worked day and night.

Similar jade beads are made one after another.

But they were rejected one by one by the Queen.

It wasn’t until many years later that an infinitely close jade bead was finally born.

But the man did not hand it over. Instead, he secretly executed all the craftsmen who knew about it, and then sent the beads into a tall and glorious building and enshrined them on a stone platform.

Boom——

Three murals are not too long.

It took a few people less than a moment to finish reading them all.

But the shock it brought cannot be described simply in words.

"Chen, Brother Chen, you really guessed it."

Partridge Whistle exhaled several times in a row, feeling as if he was drowning.

When he calmed down a little, he immediately looked at Chen Yulou beside him, his eyebrows full of complexity.

The content in the mural almost verifies everything Chen Yulou said before.

Chen Yulou was not surprised by this.

As he said before, Xiye Kingdom has been rich in jade since ancient times, so it was expected that Queen Jingjue secretly ordered the imitation of jade eyes.

He just didn't expect that the jade beads in the golden plate were not a failure.

But the only finished product!

The Lord of Xiye Kingdom does have some ambitions. He thought that if he copied the jade eyes, he would have the same abilities as Queen Jingjue. Unfortunately, how could he imagine that the most important thing to open the imaginary space is the Unbounded Demon Eyes , jade eyes are the second best.

“Who is the woman in the mural?”

"Can actually sweep through the thirty-six countries in the Western Region!"

Yang Fang stared at the woman on the throne in the mural with wide eyes, feeling his blood boiling.

When they arrived at Jiayuguan that day, they imagined that a thousand years ago, the young general attacked the Huns from the north and drank in the vast sea of ​​horses.

Unexpectedly, the woman seen in the mural now is even better.

To unify the thirty-six countries in the Western Region, with such an achievement, a woman should not be unknown in history.

But no matter how hard he thought and racked his brains, he couldn't think of anyone who could match her.

As soon as these words came out, not only him, but also Kunlun, the old foreigner and the Partridge Whistle beside him all looked thoughtful.

Chen Yulou’s eyes were clear.

He knows better.

But now is obviously not the time to speak.

After all, from all the clues revealed so far, none of them clearly point to the word Queen Jingjue.

The previous speculation about Jade Eyes can be interpreted as an inference. If this is revealed at once, even if they trust each other, there will be a gap in the hearts of several people.

Dong——

While talking.

Suddenly there was an astonishing sound of breaking through the air outside the door.

Several people subconsciously looked through the stone door.

A black shadow passed through the depths of the yellow sand and fell to the ground with a bang. It was the little armored beast.

I saw its eyes moving back and forth, full of agility, without the chaotic feeling of the past.

“Found it!”

See this situation.

Partridge Whistle didn't care about the identity of the woman in the mural, his eyes lit up and he said in surprise.

The two armored beasts from the Bishan lineage have lived for many years and have a deep understanding of human nature. Now they have turned into monsters, and they are brothers and sisters, and they have a close connection with each other.

"Then what are you waiting for."

"Brother Tao, please lead the way!"

"Okay."

The partridge whistle did not waste any time and briefly communicated with the armored beast on the ground.

Soon it straightened up.

The thick and powerful hind limbs kicked on the ground, turning into a black shadow and heading straight for the door.

A group of five people followed closely behind.

In the huge ancient city, caves stretch in all directions and are connected to each other. In many places, there are trees and stones to support them to prevent the yellow sand above from collapsing.

Following the armored beast, several people shuttled under the ancient city.

Not long after.

The breath of the armored beast suddenly stopped.

Chen Yulou also took advantage of the situation to put away his magic skills and looked up, only to see that it was a mostly collapsed earth building, with two entrances in front and back, and a high wall standing outside.

The foreign devils did not discover this place before.

The tunnel passed by the ancient building and disappeared from sight.

However, with the presence of two demon-shaped armored beasts, it didn’t require a few people to take action. In less than half a quarter of an hour, a large open space was cleared inside the earth building.

A group of people walked through the door.

Dispel the darkness with the wind lantern.

At a glance, the stone tools are divided into several rows extending inward, and in the middle of the earth building, there is still an ancient underground Yin River path that has dried up.

In the yellow sand that has not been cleared from the ground.

There are countless stones and jade fragments scattered here and there.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yulou and others immediately understood that this was clearly the scene shown in the mural.

The place where the Lord of Xiye Kingdom summoned craftsmen to imitate jade eyes.

Stones are sent from all over, and the entire process of pounding sand, grinding pulp, opening jade, punching weight, mining jade, customization and imitation is completed here.

You can imagine it from the countless pieces of jade scattered around.

Those craftsmen were trapped here, day after day, constantly replicating the scene of the jade eye.

Chen Yulou picked up a half-cut stone from the sand pile.

Looking from the cross-section, the jade is as clear and green as jade, and it should be Hetian jade seed material.

Just...

There was one thing he couldn't understand.

Why is it that an ordinary stone, when made into a jade eye, can be endowed with various unexplainable and strange powers?

Just like before, through the stone door, his consciousness could not be seen.

"Witchcraft?"

"Or the power of the demon pupil?" (End of this chapter)
