"City of Demons?!"
The old foreigner's expression changed and he subconsciously exclaimed.
As soon as Dan opened his mouth, Tu'er turned around and made a silencing gesture to him.
“Don’t make any noise in the forbidden area ahead.”
“If the monsters in the city are disturbed, none of us will be able to escape.”
Seeing his serious face, his tone was also more solemn than ever before.
How can old foreigners not understand?
A place that can be regarded as a forbidden land, a ghost town, or a magical cave by these alien races. Even if you think it is unbelievable and fantasy in advance, you will know after experiencing it that it is by no means groundless.
Just like the Black Desert.
The Turkic tribes regard it as a ferocious beast, and the Kizi people fear it as much as a tiger.
Why?
From the past month.
He knew it when he saw it.
Storms, dust, extreme cold, lack of water, lack of food, man-eating ghost ants, strangely poisonous black snakes, demons, evil spirits, ghosts, rigor mortis and ancient gods.
An existence that ordinary people cannot imagine in their entire lives.
They have been through it all.
If you are not careful, you will end up in a doomed situation.
You have to open one eye even to sleep.
Otherwise, it is very likely that you will not survive the next day.
Now...
Toure's performance said it all.
The ruins shrouded in wind and snow in the distance are by no means as simple as they look.
"What's going on? Why don't you leave?"
"This place is not a safe haven. If a landslide occurs, you won't be able to escape even if you want to."
Two People talk.
Kunlun, Yang Fang, Hua Ling and Miss Hong all rushed up on horseback.
As for Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle, they were a few steps behind and walking side by side, seeming to be discussing something.
"Shh... don't talk."
"We've arrived."
The old foreigner raised his hand and reminded in a low voice.
"Arrived? To where..."
Yang Fang asked subconsciously, but he immediately came to his senses and raised his eyebrows, "Forbidden land?"
A simple word.
It was like a basin of biting cold water being poured over my head.
The people who had already driven all the way through the snow felt like they had fallen into an ice cave.
"You're here, let's go in and take a look?"
Yang Fang reached out to the side of the horse's back.
Until a familiar touch came from his palm, he couldn't help but feel uncertain.
There is a magic whip.
Not to mention the forbidden areas, even the demonic ancient gods, he dared to smash them down with a whip.
to be honest.
Originally, he didn’t quite believe in Chen Yulou’s theory of Taoist magic weapons.
But that day, the demon wolf transformed from Crystal Freedom Mountain.
That whip gave him endless confidence.
The intertwined golden light is not Qi and blood, but Taoist talismans.
What’s the point of suppressing the corpse disaster?
When he succeeds in his practice, Yang Fang may not be able to slay demons and subjugate them one day.
"Don't worry, I'm going to ask senior brother and shopkeeper Chen for instructions."
"Be honest, kid, and don't act recklessly. If you get into trouble, I can't help you. "
The old foreigner grabbed the reins and gave a slight shake, and the horse under him immediately turned around.
However, before leaving, he did not forget to warn Yang Fang.
There are so many of them.
He has the most out-of-control temperament. He is like a wild horse running wild. If someone is not kept track of, something might happen.
“No, am I the reckless one?”
Yang Fang still wanted to defend himself.
But before he finished speaking, the old foreigner had already slapped the horse's back, and ran straight to the rear amidst the thumping of the horse's hooves. When he was a few meters away from Chen Yulou and the two of them, he pulled the reins, said something in his mouth, and reined in the horse. And stand.
At the same time.
The sound of discussion between Senior Brother and Shopkeeper Chen also blew into my ears along the wind in the valley.
“Brother Taoist, this place is not a good place.”
“Since leaving the ancestral line, it has been steep and dangerous, broken and evil, and the star peaks are lonely and long, and there is nothing extraordinary about them. The evil spirit is everywhere in the mountain.”
Chen Yulou was holding a bag of koumiss, looking across the vast snow and fog, pointing at the dangerous cliffs in the distance, his brows furrowed and his face full of weirdness.
"It seems that Yang was not wrong."
"This is a dragon-slayer."
Partridge Whistle's heart moved.
He had noticed it as soon as he entered the rift beneath him, but he was cautious and did not speak rashly until he was not 100% sure.
but.
Now that Chen Yulou has also mentioned it.
That means something is really wrong here.
After all, we were both disciples of Elder Chen, and we learned the sixteen-character yin and yang Feng Shui secret technique together. Whether a dragon was alive, dead, or killed, the terrain pattern could still be seen at a glance.
“Not bad.”
"Covered by wind and snow, lifeless, the undulating dragon veins are the main killer."
The partridge whistle can tell the depth, and Chen Yulou is not surprised.
After the trip from Kuanglu Mountain.
He is no longer the leader who moved mountains.
The Sixteen-Character Feng Shui Secret Technique, as one of the three most wonderful books in the world, is the first-class Feng Shui technique in the world.
If you can learn a hundred and one, you will be able to sit in the hall, or become a fortune teller who travels around the world.
If you can learn eleven.
That is even more remarkable.
At least he was not a famous earth master. In ancient times, he was qualified to enter the Imperial Heavenly Prison.
If you can learn half of it, it won’t be a problem to start a sect or write a book.
As for 80%.
You can be worthy of being a master in Qingwu Fengshui.
Although Partridge Whistle has learned less than eleven, it is still easy to look at the stars and examine the earth's veins.
“Huh?”
“Why do old foreign brothers go and come back?”
While talking.
Chen Yulou, who was deep in thought, saw the figure standing in front of him, reining in his horse.
"Shopkeeper Chen, here we are."
"According to what Tour said, the front is a forbidden area passed down by their family for generations!"
The old foreigner did not dare to delay.
Bring all the words of Tur.
Hearing this, Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao couldn't help but look at each other, with a flash of realization flashing in their eyes.
No wonder the pattern of dragon veins here has changed suddenly.
Self-generated instant reverse kill.
It turned out that I had reached the forbidden area without realizing it.
This is not surprising.
“Let’s go and have a look.”
Slowly exhaled.
Chen Yulou did not waste any time, greeted the two of them, then patted the horse's back, and the Yili horse under him strolled forward docilely.
After a while.
When the group crossed the rift valley and arrived at the foot of the cliff, they could see the ancient city built on the mountain when they looked up.
It doesn’t seem right to say it’s an ancient city.
From the few remaining ruins, it can be vaguely seen that it seems to be a castle in the air.
Even if it’s just a section of wall.
But ruins from thousands of years ago appeared in front of us.
That kind of shock cannot be explained in just a few words.
“That’s not right.”
“There’s something…in the ice.”
While looking at it carefully, Miss Hong, who had reached the front of the team at some point, suddenly suddenly Liu's eyebrows were raised, surprise appeared on his face, and he exclaimed.
“Ice?!”
This sentence is undoubtedly a burning fire.
It ignited everyone's emotions instantly.
“Where is it?”
“Why didn’t I see it?”
“Deep in the ice, is it really an ancient city that was frozen?”
I don't know if it was the wind, or the vibration caused by the horses' hooves and the people talking, but it seemed as if a knife had cut out half of the sloping wall, and the snow fell rustlingly.
Making the already poor sight even more blurry.
The group tried to open their eyes wide, but could not see anything.
“Look diagonally upward from the edge of the broken wall.”
“If that doesn’t work, try to get closer to the cliff.”
Miss Hong also unexpectedly discovered that from her angle, with the faint skylight, she could just penetrate the ice and see a blurry black shadow.
Only through this can we discover the clues.
Now they are obviously not far apart, but they seem to have seen nothing.
Miss Hong didn’t think about it at first, but after thinking about it for a while, she came back to her senses.
Most likely it is because of the angle and light.
After organizing her words, she reminded in a low voice. "Is this possible?"
The old foreigner's heart moved.
Subconsciously, he reined in his horse and took a few steps back, determined the angle, then raised his head and looked in the direction she was pointing.
Looking past the white snow falling overhead.
really.
The cliff, which was originally wrapped in ice and turned pale, suddenly became clear.
Deep in the glacier.
A blurry shadow continued to lengthen.
Looks like...
"Tower?!"
"Senior brother, what did you say?"
Hua Ling, who was following behind, didn't quite hear what he said and subconsciously asked.
"I said...deep in the ice, it seems to be a tower!"
The old foreigner took a deep breath.
After trying several angles, he finally responded seriously until the black shadow like a pagoda completely appeared in his sight.
“Nine-story demon building?!”
The other side.
Chen Yulou reined in his horse and walked, with golden light shining in the depths of his eyes.
With a pair of magic eyes, he instantly saw clearly the existence deep in the cliff.
It was a minaret made of countless cypress trees. The eight-shaped base was like a Buddhist lotus. It was over a hundred meters wide and made of rammed mud and stone. At a glance, it had nine floors.
A word subconsciously came to his mind.
Isn’t this the tomb where all the ghost mothers of the Demon Kingdom are buried?
When he was in the village for the first time and heard Tur talk about forbidden areas and demonic cities, he actually had some suspicions in his mind.
However, the only thing that he dared not confirm was.
Is the forbidden land a demon kingdom or a remnant of the Samsara Sect?
Now...
The answer has finally emerged.
Demon Kingdom!
Although the Samsara Sect, like the Ancient Kingdom of Jingjing, is both a descendant of the Demonic Kingdom, there are actually some differences between their beliefs and the Demonic Kingdom.
Throughout their lives, their greatest wish is to regain the Muchen Bead and seek immortality through the power of mental transformation.
The reincarnation sect leaders of the past generations were not buried in the nine-story demon tower like the ghost mother.
Instead, it is enshrined in the temple of reincarnation in the form of a golden body in order to survive the reincarnation and complete rebirth.
"Brother Chen?"
The partridge whistle following closely behind him clearly heard his low murmur.
However, even he did not dare to confirm whether Chen Yulou was talking about the nine-story demon building or something else.
"It's a legacy from the Demon Kingdom."
"The grave of ghost mothers of all generations!"
When he asked, Chen Yulou didn't hide it.
After experiencing the ghost cave, the existence of the Snowy Demon Kingdom is no longer a secret.
"Ghost Mother?"
Partridge Whistle has a keen sense of smell and raised his brows slightly.
“Similar to the existence of shamans, except that the ghost mothers of all generations are said to be reincarnated and reborn. They are born with unbounded demon pupils, which can connect the imaginary space and communicate with the snake gods.”
“ Oh, by the way, Queen Jingjue is the last generation of ghost mothers."
Chen Yulou spread his hands and explained in a low voice.
This was the first time Partridge Whistle heard about these secrets that existed in ancient times, and he felt extremely surprised.
"Then what generation of ghost mother is this?"
"You have to go in and take a look to find out."
Hearing this, Partridge Whistle was startled at first, and then laughed dumbly. .
What I asked was indeed a bit ridiculous.
Chen Yulou is well-informed and can predict things like a god, but he is not a true god and can predict everything before it happens.
"Really entering?"
"I'm afraid Tour and the others will have a hard time at that level."
He took a breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and whistled towards Bu The figures on the backs far away pursed their lips.
At this moment, the people in Tour were obviously a little confused.
After all, the rumors they had heard since childhood, as well as the instructions from their parents and elders, were that the forbidden area was very dangerous and they could not break into or even get close to it under any circumstances.
Even if there is a way, it is best to take a detour and hide as far away as possible.
Once the demon inside is awakened.
Not only will their souls be devoured, but they will also bring endless disasters to the tribe.
This is why he mentioned it many times along the way.
They were worried that Chen Yulou and the others would unintentionally offend the demon because they didn't understand the reason.
But...
What he is most worried about right now.
It seems to be happening quietly.
“Everyone, be quiet, you really can’t talk nonsense anymore. Once the demon wakes up, we will be destroyed in an instant.”
Take a deep breath.
Tour did not dare to hesitate, lowered his voice as low as possible, and reminded everyone.
Even if the voice is extremely low.
But he still couldn't hide the fear in his tone.
"This..."
Hear the words.
The few people who had just seen a clue could not help but look at each other.
If they were traveling alone, it would be impossible to miss such a mysterious monument sealed under the iceberg.
But now we are on someone else’s territory after all.
When in town, do as the Romans do.
What's more, if they hadn't led the way in the snow, it would have been difficult for them to reach here so quickly.
I noticed that a lot of people's eyes were on me, either explicitly or covertly.
How could Chen Yulou not understand what they were thinking.
But after hesitating for a moment, he just said faintly.
“It’s almost time to rest.”
"Let's set off first."
The few people who were still looking forward to it could not help but have a look of disbelief on their faces.
"What? Are you leaving now?"
"Such a monument may be a demon... Shopkeeper Chen, would you like to think about it again?"
However, Facing the doubts of several people, Chen Yulou did not explain much.
Instead, he motioned for Tuer to continue leading the way.
"Okay, Brother Chen, don't be curious. The people suppressing you are all monsters. Even the wizards in the clan don't dare to approach easily."
"It's not easy for you to die. It would be a pity if something happens again because of curiosity."
Seeing him stop everyone.
Tu'er's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.
What I worried about didn't happen after all.
Otherwise, he really doesn’t know how to explain to the clan leader and wizard after he returns.
"Don't worry."
"Go ahead, I have my own way."
Yang Fang and the others were obviously unwilling.
Pulling on the reins, he was reluctant to leave.
But the next moment.
A gentle laughter sounded in their ears.
"This...sound transmission through the air?"
Kunlun and Yuan Hong are no strangers to this, and have learned about this method from Chen Yulou before.
But this was the first time for Yang Fang.
For a moment, I felt my heart beating like thunder, my eyes widened, and a word slowly emerged in my mind.
It has been circulated in the world for a long time. It is said that only masters who have cultivated their inner strength to the master level can use it.
He originally thought it was just a storyteller or a chivalrous novel making up nonsense.
I didn’t expect that.
Today I can actually understand it myself.
“Let’s go.”
“Don’t let Tour and the others notice anything strange.”
Chen Yulou patted the horse’s back and walked out slowly.
The remaining people looked at each other in confusion at first, and then responded to the mountain call and picked up their horses to chase after him.
Until the team crossed the rift valley.
Disappeared in the vast snow curtain.
“唳——”
I don’t know how long it will take.
A phoenix cry suddenly resounded, and then, a ray of fire broke through the clouds from high in the sky, falling from the sky like a meteor, and landed on the cut-off wall between the cliffs.
Colorful feathers and fire flowing all over.
Who else could it be if it wasn’t Luofu?
At this moment, it first glanced at the direction in which the team disappeared, and then glanced at the nine-story demon tower deep in the glacier beneath it. Its pair of phoenix eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything and see clearly the deepest part of the demon tower. A vague figure.
A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Luofu raised his claws and lightly swiped his body.
In an instant.
Landslides and ground cracks.
The ice that has not melted for thousands of years is like a broken glass lamp, rolling towards the depths of the rift valley.
Gradually.
The demonic building emerged from the depths of the ice, revealing its true form for the first time. (End of chapter)
