Chapter 458 Path
The minaret is gray-white, like a slender bamboo shoot. The tower body is mottled and full of cracks, with a bluish light shining through the cracks.
“Is this the tower?” Li Chuan said and took a tentative step forward without missing a step. So he tried to take a few more steps forward, only to find that there was a gap between him and the spire. The distance didn't change, he just stayed where he was.
"How are we going to get there?" Li Chuan asked, looking intently ahead.
As the layers decomposed, there seemed to be countless transparent chambers around him, each hiding a corner of the spire. They were connected in some mysterious way, seemingly completely reflected in their eyes.
The whole tower is unreal.
He heard Wen Guying ask Yao Shuang, "Sister Yao, do you know how to get there?"
Yao Shuang said: "Yes." Then she did what she did before A few gestures.
In Li Chuan's field of vision, black runes gradually emerged in the void, intertwining into an intricate pattern.
As the pattern gradually became complete, the base of the minaret shook slightly, and then a path snaked out from the tower door and extended to their feet.
Yao Shuang said: "Let's go."
"Wait a minute." This time Li Chuan stopped them. After describing what he saw, he said: "There is no road on this road." Connecting any chamber, it continues to extend forward in the void. I don’t know where it will take us.”
Yao Shuang said: “But there is only this road in front of us.”< br>
She hesitated for a moment and said: "The day before yesterday, I didn't feel it deeply. But this time, I can clearly feel that this ruins does not exclude intruders, as long as After verification, you can enter."
"Verification?" Li Chuan asked.
"The verification of the minaret." Yao Shuang repeated, "This path is a part of the verification."
"Why?" Li Chuan was still puzzled, "After verification, it will recognize us as A demon? Impossible?"
"No..." Yao Shuang frowned and started staring at her toes, as if trying to think of how to explain to Li Chuan.
At this time Wen Guying spoke up, "Let's talk as we walk," he advised: "Only by walking into the tower can we find the truth. Even if this road does not lead to the tower, It's a dangerous and terrible place, and we have no other choice now."
"That's right," Li Chuan said.
"Let's go." Yao Shuang said, then stepped onto the path and walked forward.
Li Chuan followed Yao Shuang. He felt a slight tremor under his feet, turned around and looked back, and found that the road he had just walked gradually disappeared, and the passage he came from had disappeared without a trace.
The three of them walked slowly along the path.
"How do you think Orion got here?" Li Chuan had many questions again, "We have Senior Sister Yao, evil cultivators can rely on heresy, but what does Orion rely on?"
"Mortals have also climbed to the top of the Kagome Mountain. It is not impossible for an Orion to reach this point." Wen Guying said.
"That's right." Li Chuan said, "By the way, it seems we didn't encounter the vine demon this time?"
"Maybe after the formation was re-activated, the vine demon also fell into a deep sleep." Wen Guying answered .
“But we didn’t chant sutras?” Li Chuan said.
"The formation should also have a certain suppressive effect." Wen Guying answered.
After chatting with Wen Guying for a long time, Li Chuan suddenly discovered that Yao Shuang had not spoken for a long time.
He looked at Yao Shuang's back and shouted: "Sister Yao?"
"What's the matter?" Yao Shuang asked.
Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked casually: "How long do we have to go?"
Yao Shuang raised her head and looked forward for a while and said: "It's almost time."
They didn't talk again after that, and just walked on the path in silence and concentration.
Li Chuan began to study the path. He illuminated the ground with his butterfly spirit and concentrated, and the road surface began to decompose layer by layer. "Huh?" Li Chuan stopped.
"What did you see? And don't stop." Wen Guying said.
"Oh," Li Chuan said as he continued to walk forward: "This section of the road is discontinuous. We...we are walking in the gaps between chambers now."< br>
“So we are in the tower now.” Wen Guying said.
"Yes." Li Chuan replied. He looked at the unfolded chambers around him and the part of the tower inside, and once again felt that he was walking in the body of a certain creature.
“We’re here.” Yao Shuang said.
Li Chuan came out of his state and saw the tower standing in front of them.
The black door is closed, with mysterious patterns painted on the door.
Li Chuan looked around. The winding path they came on has disappeared, and the tower is surrounded by some gray-white gravel. He took two steps to the side, and the slight trembling feeling was still there.
"What is that?" Li Chuan found something that seemed to be in the pile of rubble near the wall.
“Don’t go there.” Wen Guying stopped him.
Li Chuan stopped immediately.
Wen Guying raised his hand and the gravel parted to both sides, revealing a hatchet. He stretched out his hand to pick it up again, and the hatchet was in his hand.
“Is it Orion’s knife?” Li Chuan asked.
"It's very possible." Wen Guying looked at it and said, "He hit something, and that thing escaped here with the knife..."
He handed the hatchet to Li Chuan. Li Chuan took it. The handle of the knife was smooth and there were many gaps on the blade. "Then he is now..." He looked around, trying to find more clues, but couldn't find any more.
“Let’s go to the tower.” Yao Shuang said.
Li Chuan felt that Yao Shuang's tone was different from her usual. He turned to look at her and saw that her eyes were staring at the pattern on the tower door, as if she were looking at a treasure.
Aren’t you stunned?
Seeing Li Chuan looking at her, Yao Shuang calmed down again and said, "I already know how to open the door."
"How?" Li Chuan asked.
Then, he saw a dark shovel appear in Yao Shuang's hand. She held the shovel and shoveled it towards the door.
The black shovel hit the black door. The pattern on the door merged with the runes extending from the shovel head. Then the door slowly shook twice and opened to both sides.
Yao Shuang took back the shovel and strode in.
Li Chuan quickly followed.
Behind the door was a circular hall. As they arrived, the lights at the top lit up one by one, illuminating the wall. The walls are like jade, constantly changing with different scenes, like murals.
Except for the murals on the walls, the entire hall is empty.
“What are these?” Li Chuan asked, looking at the misty and changing scenes on the wall.
Yao Shuang said: "I understand."
Just when Li Chuan wanted to ask her what she understood, Wen Guying said: "This secret realm was built after the great catastrophe of gods and demons."
"Why?" Li Chuan didn't understand even more.
“Because what is recorded in the murals is what happened during the Great Tribulation of Gods and Demons.” Wen Guying said.
