Could it be that the formation just now was teleported randomly
Are you going to enter a secret realm again
Zu An's heart tightened. Every time he entered the secret realm before, it was this kind of random teleportation.
However, he took out a night-light pearl and illuminated the surrounding environment. Seeing the tomb passages extending in all directions, he breathed a sigh of relief at the familiar architectural styles and atmosphere.
He was still in the tomb, but he couldn't sense the presence of other people or living things. It was definitely not on the upper floors of the tomb.
However, he quickly focused his eyes and noticed that white bones were scattered on the ground from time to time. Judging from the size of those bones, they were obviously not human, and he didn't know what kind of monster died here.
Suddenly a strange wind came from the tomb passage, which was mixed with waves of suppressed roars.
It was closer than what I heard in the tomb of Immortal Baopu just now, and I could feel the pressure more clearly. I thought this place should be deep in the tomb.
He thought that both Baopu Xianjun and Jingteng had mentioned before that the truly terrifying monsters were sealed deep in the tomb, but neither the Death Reaper nor the Earth Fire Demon were qualified to be in the lower levels.
Thinking of this, his expression became a little solemn. It would be better to find Jingteng and leave here as soon as possible.
But the tomb passages here extend in all directions, like a maze. Which way should we go
He tried to use his spiritual thoughts to investigate, but unfortunately, the tomb suppressed his spiritual thoughts very much. This was deep in the tomb, which made it impossible for his spiritual thoughts to leave three feet around him. It was better to see far away with visual distance.
He raised the jade cong on his arm, and a flash of fluorescence appeared on it, but it quickly dissipated. As expected, there were no living animals nearby.
When he was not sure which way to go, he suddenly sniffed and smelled a faint smell of sulfur.
Since there are no other clues, let's follow this aura and take a look.
At the beginning, the smell was relatively light, but then it became stronger and stronger, mixed with the sultry air flow, and the whole person felt as if he was in a sauna.
Zu An frowned, could it be an underground hot spring or something
He mobilized vitality to spread all over his body, and soon his whole body became cool.
Continuing to explore forward, we found that the surrounding area could hardly be called tomb passages, and there were many natural caves.
Could it be that this large tomb was built on the mountain, taking advantage of some natural terrain
But what kind of being could build such a large tomb
There are many forked roads along the way. Not long after you go forward, you will encounter several forked roads. The key is that each forked road is winding and winding, and some caves will appear every other way. They all look similar, making people feel dizzy, like a maze. generally.
At first, Zu An secretly memorized the road, but later on he completely lost it and couldn't remember the road at all.
He could feel that he was not walking on a level surface all the time. Those natural rock caves and tunnels seemed to go deeper and deeper, but because the slope was not large, it was difficult to have an intuitive feeling.
Gradually, a red light appeared faintly in front.
Zu An looked for the light and found that it was not a red light, but that the wall was burned red.
The surrounding air is getting thinner and thinner, and all kinds of heat waves are coming, which are several times more powerful than where they encountered the Earth Flame Demon before.
If it weren't for Zu An's advanced cultivation and Pei Mianman's flame pendant protecting his body, he might have spontaneously ignited by now.
"Is it lava again?" Zu An frowned slightly, but he was relieved after thinking about it. The reason why lava appeared above the Balrog before was presumably caused by the overflow of fire elemental power deep in the tomb.
His shoes became sticky, and even under various protections, there were still some signs of being baked.
Seeing this, he planned to turn around and leave to find another way. Although he could still hold on now, who knows if continuing to walk in would turn into a barbecue.
At this moment, there seemed to be a faint voice coming from inside: "Help... help... me..."
Zu An felt moved and looked forward. The voice did not ring again, but he knew that he would never hear it wrong.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go and see what was going on.
When I came down here, my eyesight went dark. There were mazes everywhere, and I didn't know where to look for Jing Teng. After finally meeting a living creature, it would be a good idea to ask him for information.
Carefully using his vitality to protect his body, he stepped on the red-hot ground and walked forward.
At this moment, his heart moved, and he took out the Soul-Burning Fire Crystal from before, and saw that its whole body was shining brightly, as if it was absorbing the power of the surrounding fire element.
With the help of the Soul Burning Fire Crystal, Zu An felt that the pressure was greatly reduced and his progress was much faster.
He felt a little strange. He didn't know what the surrounding rock walls were made of, and they didn't show any signs of melting even though they were burned red like this.
After advancing for a while, a white lake appeared in front of us.
But if you look closely, you will see that the lake inside is all magma. All the magma is already transparent white, which shows how high the temperature has reached.
Strictly speaking, these are no longer magma, but the most original manifestation of the fire element.
Not to mention ordinary people, even high-level practitioners would be burned to ashes if they encountered it.
The area of this lake is countless times larger than that of the previous Fire Demon. You can't see the edge at a glance, as if it is not a lake, but a sea.
But what shocked Zu An was that in the center of the lava, there was a small island, estimated to be less than one meter in diameter.
An old monk was sitting there, clasping his hands together and muttering sutras to himself. There was a vague Buddha light shining all over his body, barely blocking the surging magma around him.
However, all his clothes had been destroyed, and only his old and hunched body was left, with various scars and burns vaguely visible on it. There was almost no intact skin, which was obviously injured by the splashing magma for a long time.
As if sensing Zu An's arrival, the old monk slowly opened his eyes, with a touch of joy in his tone: "Finally, we have found a destined person. Come here quickly, I will pass on what I have learned throughout my life to you. This way, His mantle will not be cut off."
However, Zu An did not move. Instead, he raised his hands and asked, "Why are you here, senior?"
"It's a long story." The old monk sighed.
"It's okay, I have plenty of time." Zu An said with a smile. Although he was also worried about Jing Teng's safety, he still looked quite leisurely on the surface.
Old monk: "..."
He had no choice but to say: "Back then, I exterminated demons and defended the way, and went deep into the tomb. Unfortunately, after a big battle, I was seriously injured and accidentally trapped here. After so many years, I have almost run out of fuel. I thought I could only survive silently." After death, I didn’t expect that a destined person would come to me. In this way, I can pass on all my skills to you, so that my legacy can be passed down to future generations, and I will have no regrets in this life.”
"Thank you, senior. You can speak now. I am all ears." Zu An said with a respectful expression.
Old monk: "..."
He had no choice but to say patiently: "I don't have much life left, and I probably won't be able to last. Now that I have finished speaking, come over here and I will teach you the Dharma in the form of my spiritual thoughts."
I'll pass it on to you. Since you can come here safely and your cultivation is good, it shouldn't be a big problem to fly here. "
Zu An said in a deep voice: "It's just that I have important things to do. I will listen to the teachings of my seniors after I finish the things."
"Didn't you just say that you have plenty of time?" The old monk was startled and said quickly, "My lifespan has been exhausted and I only have one breath left. I will definitely be dead by the time you come back. It's better to seize the time to teach the Dharma now." Well, the whole process is quick.”
Zu An scratched his head in embarrassment: "What senior said makes sense. Since it won't take much time, I will accept the inheritance from senior first."
Hearing what the other party said, a hint of joy flashed in the old monk's eyes. No one has come here for so many years. As long as he comes here, he will have the opportunity to occupy his body and leave this seal against himself.
So he said more kindly: "Come quickly."
Zu An ran to the edge of the magma. As soon as he took off and advanced a few meters, flames appeared on his clothes. He was so frightened that he hurriedly ran back: "No, no, I don't know what's going on with the magma down here. It's too powerful. I Can’t get through.”
He put away the flame pendant and the soul-burning fire crystal, but he also didn't use his full energy to protect his body, which was why he was in such a mess.
The old monk muttered: "The color of this magma has turned white. It is the manifestation of the ultimate fire spirit. It is really difficult for ordinary people to fight against it. Anyway, I happen to have something here that can help you survive this magma."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out an alms bowl from somewhere and gently rubbed the surface. The reluctance on his face seemed to be caressing his lover.
With a gentle lift, the alms bowl flew directly in front of Zu An, and then he hurriedly warned: "You jump directly into it, it can temporarily serve as a ship to ferry you over, you must be quick, it will stay in this magma for a long time." There will also be damage.”
Zu An took the alms bowl. Its surface was purple-gold, and there were some Buddha statues engraved on it. There was a vast feeling of compassion spreading out.
Zu An was startled, maybe he thought wrongly.
He couldn't help but ask: "This thing looks magical, but I wonder what its use is?"
The old monk replied: "This object is called the Purple Gold Bowl. It can help resist the protection of various extraterrestrial demons or other charms and harms directed at the soul. This object has been recognized by me as its owner. You can come over later and get my inheritance." , you can naturally become its new owner.”
He was worried that the other party would be greedy and deliberately named the object to recognize its owner. Without his permission, it would be of no use to others if they got it.
On the contrary, as long as you come here to get his inheritance, you will get everything. It shouldn't be difficult to choose.
Zu An felt happy. Although his Hongmeng Yuanshi Jing could purify many evil things, it did not have much effect on some attacks against the soul.
After all, Bai Ming is an attack spell, and the guardian spirit is not professional.
In the past, we fought against the Ghost King and were restrained everywhere. If there was such a thing, everyone wouldn't be in such a mess.
What's more, it can also guard against extraterrestrial demons. According to legend, after you practice to a certain level, your inner demons will be reborn every time you break through, and even extraterrestrial demons will come. Once you can't protect your heart, your soul will be swallowed up by the demons, and you will suffer. Cultivation goes down the drain.
Thinking of this, he bowed his hands towards the old monk: "Thank you, senior, for the treasure. I am still anxious to save my friend. After saving my friend, I will come immediately to accept the inheritance of my senior."
After saying that, he put the purple gold alms bowl in his arms and ran away.
The old monk was waiting for him to come over with a smile. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was dumbfounded: "???"
