Something beneath the soil burst out breathing.
That's where the seismometer detection comes in.
The rock layer bulged high and fell violently, and large pieces of hanging ghost-like bone trees shattered. The flying bone fragments instantly killed those scaleless human dragons.
This kind of "breathing" seems to have been carried out many times, and many surrounding peaks have been twisted, as if they are about to tilt and fall at any time.
Although the Valley of Gods is on the verge of collapse, it has not completely collapsed.
"Is there anything alive down there?" Ning Jiujiu looked at the broken rocks under his feet and asked.
Li He said: "Is Tianzang still alive? Were they not completely killed?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Gods should not die..."
Li He remembered Zhang Heng's statement and said, "Perhaps their stars must be destroyed to kill them completely."
Ning Changjiu said: "But the stars are far away in the sky, how can we destroy them?"
Li He shook his head and said nothing.
Ning Jiujiu said: "Let's go in and take a look first."
Li He grabbed it casually, and the broken bones on the ground formed a sword boat.
The two of them stepped onto the sword boat.
The sword boat sailed into the road opened by gold prospectors many years ago. The road was very spacious at first. The rock walls on both sides were covered with umbrella-like white bone mushrooms. Rat-like creatures kept shuttled on the walls, gnawing at them. The bones made a crisp sound of breaking bones.
As they passed by, the rat-like imps dispersed.
In the cave leading to the center of the earth, the black ghostly energy slowly floated out.
"This place doesn't look like Tianzang's country, but more like Mingjun's." Ning Jiujiu said as he looked at the death energy radiating out.
The Bone Boat dispersed the death energy like the Styx and went deeper.
Li He raised his two fingers in front of him and spread the sword area around him.
The deep cave is almost cliff-like.
The wooden ladder hanging on the rock wall is still decaying, and at the bottom of the cliff, bones pile up to form a hill.
Bai Guzhou took them and sank to the bottom of the cliff.
Above the cave, beams of light leaked from the gaps.
They moved on.
From the dark front, there was the sound of water.
Under the sword boat, a huge fault appeared in the rock, and in the fault, dirty river water surged out.
The river water seemed to be made of melted gold, half solid and half liquid. Above them, the breath of death was like a black mist, gurgling bubbles out of the heavy-looking river water. That gas had It is extremely corrosive, and even the slightest contamination can corrode the skin to the bone.
"There is someone in front." Li He said.
After crossing another cliff-like fault, the river flowed down beside me.
Below, there were faint shadows crawling like ants.
Ning looked down for a long time.
They are the kind of human-dragon monsters outside. They are still wearing human-like clothes. Their exposed bodies are silver-black like carrion. Their faces have no trace of flesh, and their skull-like eyes are very... Hollow, the long, horse-neck-like neck ribs stick out, and the hands hanging down in the sleeves are like tree whiskers.
They carried their bodies and crawled along the river, slowly and aimlessly.
Along the way, some monsters tripped and fell, and their figures fell into the river and were swallowed up by the dirty river water. They howled in the river water and were instantly sucked deeper into the river. The monsters took it for granted and did not look at it.
"What exactly happened here?" Ning Changjiu's voice was cold.
Li He has a higher realm and can see into the deepest part of the darkness.
"It seems to be a village inside." Li He said, "That should be the village built by the people who came to dig for gold."
When the bone sword boat passed over the sky, the creatures below seemed to be aware of it. They raised their heads one after another, stretched their necks, and made a uniform voice: "Help... save... save..."
They danced their thin arms, and the syllables in their mouths were sharp and single.
The sword boat was shattered, and the figures of Li He and Ning Changjiu fell to the ground.
"How did you become like this?" Li He seemed to be trying to communicate with them.
Their intelligence was still intact and they could actually understand Li He's words. They all stretched out their hands and pointed in the direction of the depths of the river.
Ning looked at their backs for a long time.
Only then did he realize that they were carrying something on their backs. At first he thought it was a tumor, but now he discovered that it was dark golden stones one after another.
"Are you slaves?" Ning Jiujiu asked.
A human-dragon monster stretched its neck and nodded vigorously.
Ning Jiujiu continued to ask: "Who is enslaving you?"
The human-dragon monster seemed to be afraid. Their hands were trembling and they did not dare to respond, but their eyes unconsciously looked into the depths.
"Save...save..."
They only make this sound as if it is their last sound when they die as humans.
Ning Jiujiu pointed to the back and said: "The restrictions outside have been lifted, you can go out."
These monsters stopped in place and did not react. I don't know if they didn't understand, or they were afraid of the existence at the end of this dirty river.
Li He looked at their miserable appearance and shook his head slightly.
Tens of thousands of people have turned into this appearance, who is bewitching them? Could it be that Tenzo is not only still alive in the world, but has also turned into a ferocious demon
Li He said: "If you want to live, go back."
After all, they were once the same race, but he still didn't want them to die at the hands of demons, both human and ghost.
While speaking, Li He held out a sword behind him.
The sword at the peak of the Five Paths was so terrifying that it cut a huge slope out of the cliff-like mountain. At the end of the slope, the light of the cave passed through.
After passing the sword, Li He ignored their choices and walked deeper with Ning Changjiu.
On the way, they saw countless miserable scenes.
Some humans, dragons and monsters twisted their bodies like insects and rushed into the river, uttering prayer-like syllables in their mouths. They were then submerged in the golden water, and their bones and flesh festered. Some monsters seemed to be injured. They fell to the ground, licking each other's wounds, and then their tongues rotted. Some monsters even tore open their own skins and stuffed them with gravel as flesh and blood. None of them was Intact, not like a human being or even a monster.
"Help... help..."
When Ning Changjiu passed by a bone house, the door suddenly opened and a monster rushed out and shouted at them.
Ning Jiujiu stopped.
He looked at the monster. The monster's body was still intact. It seemed that it had not been severely corroded, and it still retained its consciousness. Its twisted expression was extremely painful, and it made a sound like the old woman before she died.
"Help me..." the monster shouted.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "What's wrong with you?"
The monster said: "The water in this river... the holy water... we lied. People who drank the water turned into monsters... We can't get out."
Ningjiu asked: "Where does this river lead? Who is enslaving you?"
The monster thought for a long time before understanding his question and replied: "God... God lied to us."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Which god?"
The monster opened its mouth wide and said: "Dragon... Dragon..."
Ning Jiujiu and Li He looked at each other.
Li He asked: "Could it be that we came to the wrong place? Luo Shu is also a sacred object that created the world. It can't be hidden in a place like this, right?"
Ning Changjiu said: "Let's go and take a look first."
Li He said: "I have an ominous premonition. I know you are not afraid of death, but I am."
Ning Jiujiu said: "I am also afraid of death."
Li He asked: "Is there anyone you don't want to forget?"
Ning Jiujiu did not answer, but said: "Sir, you have done your best to send me here. I will walk the rest of the way myself."
Li He smiled and said: "Forget it, I'm already dead anyway. It doesn't hurt to go in and take a look. After paying homage to the ancient gods, I can die without regrets."
The monster next to them listened to their conversation with a look of pain. It stretched out its claws without scales and kept saying: "Save me, save me..."
Li He said: "The road outside has been opened, you can go out."
The monster was stunned for a while, thanked him profusely, and climbed out.
Ning Jiujiu sighed: "In today's world, they cannot escape death wherever they go."
Li He nodded and said: "Even if you die, you must die in the light."
I would rather remain noncommittal for a long time.
Ahead, the pollution is getting worse. On the rocky ground, weeds grow like black human hair.
They seemed to be standing on a huge skull.
"Be careful up there." Li He said.
Ning looked up for a long time, and eight red eyes were staring at him.
It was a huge spider. When Ning Jiujiu looked at it, the spider suddenly pounced. Under its raised body, two huge fangs fell down like knives.
The sword light was like a white river flowing in front of my eyes.
Ning Jiujiu and Li He drew their swords at the same time and killed the spider instantly.
Countless liquids burst out and splashed on the wall. The sticky liquid corroded the rocks. The spider threads that exploded like fireworks lay in front of them one by one, like steel. Its abdomen was filled with countless small bodies. Spiders fell in dense numbers, like a hair-numbing rain.
At the same time, the skull-like ground beneath their feet also cracked, and many tentacles entangled themselves. Those soft tentacles were covered with skulls, and each skull was emitting a sharp wail.
The ground beneath my feet turned into an abyss.
The figures of Ning Jiujiu and Li He were instantly thrown away and crashed into the depths of the abyss.
Li He drew his sword instantly and cut away all the spider threads in front of him. Ning Changjiu also lit up his sword fire, hiding his figure in the intertwined sword energy of reality and reality. Those falling spiders exploded to death as soon as they touched the sword field, and there was a sound like beans exploding around them.
They all turned back and saw that the road they had come from was beginning to collapse.
Someone blocked their way back, as if they wanted them to continue deeper.
Li He did not hesitate, and immediately used his sword energy to turn the rope into a chain. At the same time, he set up an anchor point in the void and jerked his body there.
But it was too late.
The void they were in was like a crystal, surrounding them and sinking suddenly.
In his ears, countless wails and screams rang out miserably.
"There really is a river... If you take out a little bit of this gold, you can spend it for a lifetime, right?"
"Idiot! Why do we need gold now? Only strength can allow us to truly survive..."
"Power? Where does the power come from?"
"This is holy water. Use it to wash your body and repair any wounds and defects. After drinking it, you can turn into an ancient dragon and live forever... Start praying."
"Ignore the idiots outside. Since they don't want to believe us, let us take over this power!"
"The prophecy came true, we really turned into dragons..."
"But why are there no scales and claws? Ah... it hurts, it hurts!"
"Ahh..."
"Help... help..."
…
Wails and screams kept ringing in my ears, like black waves that could flood the sky at any time.
Ning Jiujiu's realm was still too shallow. He felt like countless hands were grabbing at his soul. Each one of them was like a person about to drown, trying to tear his soul into countless pieces.
Ning closed his eyes for a long time, found a point in the sea of consciousness, and fixed himself there.
It was a red sun surrounded by black crows.
The red sun dispersed the wailing near the center and stabilized his spirit.
Pong!
Two figures fell down.
Li He wrapped himself with sword energy, while Ning Changjiu dispersed part of the darkness with golden light.
After falling from a height, they did not fall to pieces, but landed on a huge platform. The platform was actually a little soft, like half-rotten meat.
Ning Jiujiu pressed his eyebrows to calm his still-frightened mind.
He stood up slowly and breathed out.
Li He said: "Are you okay?"
Ning Jiujiu shook his head gently: "It's okay."
Having said that, there was obvious vanity in his steps.
"Where is this?" Ning Jiujiu opened his eyes and looked upward. His sword eyes could no longer reach the top.
Li He said: "It should be the deepest part of the Valley of Gods... That thing just breathed again."
Ning Jiujiu recalled the sudden explosion of heaven and earth and said, "Is that Tianzang's 'Hengkai'?"
Li He said: "It's possible."
Ning Jiujiu said angrily: "What is it trying to do? Does it want to bury itself alive?"
Li He said: "Maybe, something that has been dead for more than two thousand years will probably go crazy even if it is alive."
Ning Jiujiu raised his hand, and a fire lit between his fingers.
He held a lamp in his hand and looked around with a pale face.
"It seems there is only one way." Ning Jiujiu looked at the rugged stone road ahead and said.
Li He nodded and said, "Then let's move forward."
Ning Jiujiu said: "I always feel that something is waiting for me."
Li He frowned and said: "There should be demons trying to trick us into entering, but don't worry, I have reached the peak of the Five Paths. In this world, except for the ancient gods and the Lord of Gods, there should be no opponents for me. At least I can save my life."
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said, "I believe you."
Li He nodded and walked deeper along this only road.
The road is wide.
There was dirty water on both sides. The water was obviously made of extremely precious mineral deposits, but after being soaked in the air of the netherworld for a long time, it gave off waves of stench.
Ning Changjiu and Li He walked silently towards the depths.
From time to time, foam appeared in the river, and the foam was filled with liquid that looked like melting bones.
"This looks like a corpse." Ning Jiujiu suddenly said.
"What?" Li He was confused.
Ning Jiujiu pointed to his feet and said, "This looks like a corpse."
Li He looked towards his feet.
Under their feet is a road made of rocks, which arches abruptly in the highly corrosive water, leading to an unknown place.
Li He leaned down, touched the rock under his feet, condensed sword energy on his fingertips, and struck out with a sword.
Only the surface layer of the rock has peeled off some debris.
Li He frowned.
He had long thought that these stones were very hard, but he did not expect them to be so hard.
He immediately understood: "Is this Tianzang?"
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said, "Well, this may be its body."
Li He's eyes narrowed. Panic appeared in his pupils at first, but then the fear dissipated and he said, "This is actually reassuring."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Why?"
Li He said: "This means that Tianzang is completely dead. The man who tricked tens of thousands of villagers into working as miners is probably a thief who wants to steal Tianzang's power. He doesn't dare to fight in the outside world and comes here to steal Tianzang's power. With so much power and no results for so many years, what kind of powerful thief can he be?”
Ning looked at him for a long time and nodded: "Maybe so."
He looked at the water in the surrounding pool and sighed: "This is the fate of ordinary people who want to achieve something far beyond their own strength."
Li He nodded and said: "Yes, so even if I entered the five realms, I never thought about true immortality."
"Why?" Ning asked for a long time.
Li He said: "I have said that no one wants to live forever, but for living beings, immortality is always an impossible path, even if the ascension is successful."
Ning Jiujiu said: "Then why do you work so hard to practice Taoism?"
Li He sighed: "I want to walk through the smoke and clouds of the Five Mountains, see the wind, moon and snow scenery, drink wine and write poems until I die."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "How is this different from ordinary people?"
Li He said: "I can live hundreds of years longer than ordinary people, see more, and read more... This does not conflict with me not wanting to live forever, because I understand better than Qiu Ziguan that the other side of immortality is death."
After saying this, Li He stopped talking and walked deeper.
Ning looked at his back for a long time, his eyes dark.
The road like a dragon and a python plunged into a cliff at the end, and they had no choice but to go up the cliff. Along the way, they killed many giant spiders and cut those steel-like threads into the netherworld of the river.
At the end of the road is an iron cage.
Li He turned his hand into a blade, cut open the prison cage, and walked towards the depths.
Along the way, there seemed to be countless things trying to stop them from moving forward, and while they were hesitant at first, they became determined with these obstacles.
They became more and more convinced that the thing hidden in the depths was afraid of them, so they set up so many defense lines to hinder their entry.
Several passes were broken in succession.
The aura of the netherworld is getting heavier and heavier.
They went into the depths.
This seems to be the last space.
Like many ancient ruins, the walls in this square space are polished and painted with colorful paintings to show the history.
"That's..." Ning Changjiu's eyes were attracted by the painting. He immediately reacted and said in a shocking voice: "Is that the painting of God?"
Li He also looked at it carefully.
"These are the Four Gods," he judged.
Li He's steps were suspended in the air, and he came to the painting above. The first painting was like a huge turtle. The ghost's head was like a mountain rock, with backward horns, a mouth like a crocodile, and a beard like seaweed floating on the lower jaw. Four elephant-like Zutian Pillars plunged into the sea water and stood on the ground. Its back was like an entire island, full of sky-high peaks. In the center, there was billowing smoke like a volcanic eruption.
"This is Xuanze." Li He said.
The second portrait is of a huge tower.
The city tower spread out infinitely, with wooden knobs as steps and a floating giant city as arms. The open door was like its mouth. Ning searched for a long time before he saw its eyes. Those eyes were hidden in The two coiled corners were silently closed.
"This is Sui Bodhi." Li He said.
The third picture is relatively simple, it is a whole desert. In the desert, a huge divine bird rises from the ground, and the raging wild river is its tail feathers. Although it is simple, the lines are full of extreme tension, with With proud beauty.
Needless to say, here is Huanghe Longque, who later became Nirvana and became the Suzaku God.
The fourth picture is a coiled dragon holding a candle in its mouth.
That giant dragon exhausted human imagination of all the powerful symbols of dragons. Whether it was scales or sharp claws, they were so perfect that they surpassed all later sculptures. The ancient and divine sword-like horns were more like an eternal totem.
This is the candle dragon.
"Why are there no Tianzang and Mingjun?" Li He expressed their common doubts.
Ning Jiujiu looked into the depths and said, "There."
Li He moved and looked deeper from Ning Changjiu's perspective.
At the deepest and highest point, there is a painting.
Those were two entangled figures.
The golden dragon's back was covered with dense blades, and the blades were neatly pressed against the skin, as if they didn't want to hurt the opponent.
The opponent was a feathered snake. The feathered snake's body was completely black, and on its back with black scales, there were beautiful snow-white wings, and it gently embraced the opponent.
This is Tianzang and Mingjun!
They seem to be having sex, but the gods cannot have children. This is more like a catharsis of love.
"Aren't Tianzang and Mingjun the ancient gods who will never stop fighting? How could it be so?" Li He felt that his common sense was impacted. In the past, his poems even quoted these rivals to show his determination.
But they are actually a couple of gods
Ning Jiujiu also showed a slightly surprised look.
"Perhaps someone has tampered with the myth." Ning Jiujiu said.
"Who is it?" Li He asked.
Ning Jiujiu said: "It should be the god who really fought with them until death."
Li He frowned, unable to figure out that period of history.
Ning Jiujiu expressed his intuition: "There is something waiting for us in front."
Li He asked: "Are you sure you want to go there?"
He looked at the divine paintings on the wall and guessed that the existence waiting for them was not simple, and perhaps it had something to do with the gods from the beginning.
Ning Jiujiu said: "Let's go."
Li He closed his eyes, calmed down his sword, and smiled casually: "My little friend is still open-minded. Alas, my temperament is not like Qiu Ziguan. No matter what level of cultivation I have, I will always be a little afraid of death."
Ning Changjiu pressed his hand on the door.
He worked hard.
Can't push away.
Li He said: "I'm here to help you."
The two of them pushed open the door together.
Ning stopped for a long time.
It was a purgatory and the end of the turbid water.
A sleeping head protruded from the magma in the center. Even though the head was dead, it still carried the majestic beauty unique to the gods.
That was Tenzo's head.
On top of the head, a vague figure faced away from them.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you're finally here." The back became clearer, and she turned around, holding a book in her hand, and smiled sweetly: "Daddy, you almost lost me."
The childish smiling face is so familiar.
It was Qiu Yue.
Without any hesitation, Ning Changjiu drew his sword.
The one he stabbed with his sword was not Qiu Yue, but Li He beside him.
His sword penetrated Li He's body, but Li He's sword only sent a small part into his chest.
They both want to kill each other.
Li He raised his head, his face full of shock and confusion. He looked at the golden Shura figure behind Ning Changchun and said, "Is this Shura? Are you actually Shura? It turns out you have been hiding a."
This is the spiritual world.
Shura Shenlu is one of the ultimate spiritual powers, and its condensed power is enough to kill most of the false existences in the Luoshu world.
Including Li He, who is at the peak of the Five Paths.
But even in the previous moments of life and death when the abyss fell, he did not use it.
He was always wary of Li He.
"When did you start doubting me?" Li He sighed.
Ning Jiujiu said: "At the beginning, I asked you why you knew I was an outsider. You said that the world has cycled five times and many people have discovered the secrets of the world. But this is not right."
"What's wrong?" Li He asked.
"If the world has cycled five times, it means that the flow rate of time here and outside time are the same. But so many days have passed. If the time is the same, then the people outside have already decided the winner and loser, and Luo Shu's prohibition has also It should have been resolved long ago." Ning Jiujiu said: "So you are lying to me, and the original dragon bearer is also lying to me."
"I see. You actually took my random nonsense to heart... Alas, I've done so much but I still can't win your trust. You're too indifferent." Li He laughed.
"My luck has not been very good, I know it." Ning Jiujiu continued: "But everything that happened here went too smoothly... You have been guiding me here, and this idea becomes more and more certain the deeper I go. "
Li He didn't want to ask any more questions. He sighed and said, "I said, no one doesn't want to live forever..."
But he knows better than anyone else that those who strive for immortality will not end well.
He smiled self-deprecatingly, turned to look at Qiu Yue, and asked in a questioning tone: "Sir?"
Qiu Yue smiled and said: "Don't worry, you have done a good job, I will give you the body of a dragon bearer."
Li He let go of the hand holding the sword and read a poem of his own loudly. He knelt down, scooped up the mineral deposits on the ground, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Take gold and swallow white jade.
Then it turned into a stream of light and flew away.
The Shura Dharmakaya behind Ning Changjiu illuminated his figure like a cast of gold, so indifferent that he had no expression at all.
"As expected of dad, you are really smart." Qiu Yue smiled and said, "But you can't leave now."
The door behind me was closed at some point.
This is a claustrophobic cage.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Who are you?"
Qiu Yue raised her innocent face and said, "As I said, my mother was buried alive, my father was imprisoned... I am a poor orphan."
Ning Changjiu's golden pupils narrowed into a thin line.
When she said this at first, they didn't pay much attention to her and just thought she was a poor girl.
But when these words reached my ears now, they had a completely different meaning.
"Tianzang... Mingjun?!" Ning Jiujiu understood in shock.
It was Tenzo who was buried alive! It is Mingjun who is locked up!
Qiu Yue smiled happily: "Dad is so smart, I really didn't misjudge the person!"
After saying that, she became sad again: "I died as soon as my mother and father were born. Alas, I was born to take the life of my father and mother."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "The gods cannot have children, how can you be their daughter?"
Qiu Yue stretched out her hand and waved it randomly: "Anyway, I was born to my parents."
Ning looked at the scroll waving in her hand for a long time, and a fire suddenly appeared in his mind: "Are you Luo Shu? Was Luo Shu created by Tianzang and Mingjun?"
Qiu Yue gave a thumbs up and praised: "That's right again! Daddy is great!"
Her joy and sorrow transitioned very smoothly: "Oh, I am... the final masterpiece of mother and father."
As she spoke, she rubbed her eyes and began to cry.
