It has to be said that this sunset city is really weird.
Entering the city, there are clay figurines everywhere, with different expressions, standing or sitting, each of them is lifelike, and looks like a real person.
Qianmian stepped forward, looked left and right, walked around the clay figurines standing on the street, and tapped lightly with his knuckles, "Oh, it seems to be solid?! This is similar to the clay figurines of your clan guards. It's not the same!"
Han Busu touched the clay figurines, "Although they are clay figurines, these clay figurines... feel weird to the touch, and even the veins on the neck are carved so clearly, which is really rare, even the most guarded. A good craftsman may not be able to be so careful!"
"Maybe it's really a living person?" Yue Gui looked at it carefully, "Master, what do you think of this clay figurine's height, body, and expression, which doesn't look like us living people?"
It seemed that it was too late to dodge, and suddenly it became like this.
"Looking at it, it looks like a living person!" Shen Muxi's back felt cold, and goose bumps appeared on his body, "Bo Yunxiu, do you think these things are strange?"
"It's because you think it's not very pleasant, right?" Bo Yunxiu pulled her into his arms, "I also feel that these clay figurines may really not be pure clay figurines, let's go quickly, finish the soul-returning Gu as soon as possible, and hurry up Get out of this damn place."
"Let's go!" Qian Mian led the way.
When it got dark, Mi Li and Yue Gui went to the street to pick up two lanterns.
If it weren't for the fact that there is no one here, no one would believe that this almost intact town is actually a dead city.
There is no one, but everything is complete, as if the people here disappeared without a trace overnight. There was no trace of a fight.
All the houses are built around the center of Sunset City.
The most central position is like a fortress.
Looking outside, it is Stone City, there are many guards standing at the gate of the city, of course, all of them are clay sculptures, very creepy in the low light.
"Isn't the ancestor who created this place very fond of making clay figurines? You have to put a few everywhere, how busy is this?" Qianmian shook his head, "Do it one by one, and you can't even do it. The same size as a real person, how many years will it take to make a whole city of clay figurines?"
"At least it will take ten or eight years. If there are not enough craftsmen to make clay figurines, it will probably take decades!" Mi Li looked around, "But, master, have you noticed that something is wrong? The wind and sand outside It was whirring, and it seemed very quiet after entering the city.”
"It's as if it's still!" Yue Gui hurriedly said, "Since we came in, I've already noticed it... This really seems to be a dead city, that kind of dead silence, except for the few of us who can breathe, It seems that there is really no living thing!"
Bo Yunxiu held Shen Muxi's hand tightly, and never said a word from the beginning to the end.
The two have the same mind, of course he knows what Shen Muxi is thinking, this place is too dead, it really looks like a dead city, and... both she and he can feel it, coming from the phoenix Gu.
The implication is that it is not that there are no living things here, but they are invisible to the naked eye.
They can be felt.
"What are you doing?" Qian Mian was puzzled.
Han Busu squatted on the ground, not knowing what he was doing.
Hearing Qianmian's question, Han Busu rolled his eyes at him, "You know a fart!"
Something ran out of her jar, like a snake, but not like a snake. This thing was very flexible. After it came out, it swam forward quickly, and the speed was quite fast.
"Senior Han, what are you doing?" Shen Muxi asked.
"Finding the location of the soul gu!" Han Busu stood up with difficulty, took out a porcelain bottle from the small bag on his waist, poured a handful of pills into his mouth, swallowed them with water, and then he relaxed He said in a tone, "Follow this thing, and you will definitely find the entrance."
Yue Gui frowned, "How about I support you?"
"Forget it, don't poison you all to death just because of me!" Han Busu waved his hand and walked slowly forward.
Qian Mian followed silently, vaguely seemed to hear the rustling sound behind him, but when he looked back, he couldn't see why, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything, he could only hear the sound, it was really creepy.
The gate of Stone City had been opened by someone, and looking at the lock on it, it was obviously cut off by someone.
"It should be Lu Rujing and the others." Bo Yunxiu said, "Or it's Zhao Lianyi."
It doesn't matter who it is, anyway, it has come to this point, and there is no way back.
Entering the city gate, the scene was even more frightening. The whole row of clay figurines seemed to be lining up to welcome people, which made people feel creepy, especially in the dark night, with the dim light of lanterns and the shadowy shadows of a large number of people. , just stick to each other.
It seems that there are people all around, but there is no breath of living people.
"Don't be afraid, they are all guarding the city." Han Busu panted and walked forward, "As I said before, the guardians of the clan began in Qin Dynasty, and the clay figurines at that time were for the most noble people." Funeral ceremonies. But these are all used to suppress the soul-returning Gu, as long as they are still there, the soul-returning gu is still safe."
"So that's it!" Mi Li looked around, "Then where is this thing?"
"In the tomb of the wasteland." Han Busu whispered, "Xi girl, you should have heard of it too, right?"
"Yes!" Shen Muxi nodded, "But I don't know much, some answers are ambiguous, I don't know if they are true or not!"
Han Busu walked forward slowly, he could see that he was very tired, probably because he had been exposed to the sun for a long time in the desert, and it was not as easy for ordinary people to recover, but this person was very strong, and he only wanted to find the place in the wasteland as soon as possible. Tomb, so I took another handful of medicine.
Her body was already on the verge of failing, and she was relying on these medicines to hold on, so she had to wait for the medicine to take effect before she could regain her spirit after taking the medicine.
"The tomb of the wasteland is actually under the city of the setting sun. Several elders of the guardian clan are buried. In order to suppress the soul-returning Gu, they sacrificed their lives and slept in this desert forever." Han Busu leaned on the wall, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
"Senior Han?" Shen Muxi hurriedly shook off Bao Yunxiu's hand, stepped forward to hold Han Busu by the arm, "No one else can touch you, but I'm fine, don't you refuse me!"
Han Busu was really tired, but he didn't refuse this time, and nodded obediently, "Han Tianming, that villain, is so blessed that the tree with his neck crooked can bear such good fruit. easy."
"You said that you are so virtuous, why are you still ungrateful? People are dead, and you have to scold them all the time, don't you feel panicked?" Qian Mian couldn't stand it anymore.
Han Tianming is Shen Muxi's biological father after all.
"I'm happy, can you control it? Does it mean that I haven't scolded you for a day, and you feel itchy? If you want me to talk to you, you just say that I will never be polite to you. Do you want to scold you or not?" Short cursing, whether you want to scold hard or leniently, just choose, I will accompany you at any time!" Han Busu snorted coldly.
Qian Mian pouted, put his arms around his chest, don't ignore her at first.
Only women and villains are difficult to raise!
"Senior Han, keep talking!" Shen Muxi didn't mind about Han Tianming.
All the things in front of her were the sins of her biological father, whom she had never met. Even the Han Busu in front of her was killed by him.
What can I do if I scold a few words
"My father told me these things!" Panting, Han Busu seemed to be getting better, and straightened up a little, but it was still a little difficult to walk, so he walked not fast, "My father said, this place A lot of formations have been laid out, and the entrance is extremely secret, only the sky snake can find it."
"Is that the one from just now?" Shen Muxi asked.
Han Busu nodded, "Don't underestimate that thing. It's a small piece, but it's extremely poisonous. Anyone who touches it will die! Of course, you two and me are excluded, so you don't have to be afraid, and this thing... you can use it It’s very safe to use the Gu control technique to control it!”
"Isn't the Sky Snake uncontrollable?" Qianmian was puzzled, "Han Er Er had tried it before, but it was very slippery."
"Hmph, what Han Tianming can't do, can't I also do it?" Han Busu sneered, "It's hard for you, I want to put this person in the head, and calm the brain." Ditch!" Qian Mian was taken aback, then gritted his teeth, "Your cursing skills are really more vicious than your poisonous body!"
"I'm happy!" Han Busu laughed dryly, "What can you do to me?"
The stone city is not big, it is all steps, at least there are hundreds of steps, and pillars stand like Optimus Prime in the darkness, forming several circles around the heavenly palace at the top of the steps.
Each circle has twelve pillars, which correspond to the twelve heavenly stems and earthly branches.
In the dim light, the carvings on the pillars can be seen, seem to be ghost flowers
Continue to go up until people are tired of walking, and finally see the Tiangong.
The floor tiles on the ground are painted with a clear pentagram pattern in pitch black, and the palaces and palaces are very grand, and it really doesn't look like the current building. In such a desert, to build such a building, I don’t know how many camel caravans are needed to transport materials from afar.
"Do you know the pattern of the guardians, why is it a pentagram? That represents the five elements." Han Busu explained, "The guardians were born in response to the heaven and the earth, so they use the power of the heavens and the earth to restrain the evil spirit of the soul Gu .”
"This is..." Shen Muxi frowned, looking at the plaque above the palace.
The word rebirth is clearly visible.
On the closed door of the temple, a closed eye is drawn.
"Rebirth Palace?" Bo Yunxiu said coldly, "So, this is the source of the Eye of Rebirth?"
"Yes!" Han Busu nodded, "Rebirth needs to be opened. Among the guardians, all enter the world with half-closed eyes. Only the patriarch's domino can open their eyes. Once the eye of rebirth is opened, it is equal to Opened the door to rebirth."
"Can soul-returning Gu really bring people back from the dead?" Shen Muxi asked.
Han Busu thought for a while, "I haven't seen it before, so I can't answer your question, but I can tell you that this thing is terrible. Even if it is a soul, I guess it is impossible to be like us normal people, just like Now... even if I rely on poison to continue my life, I can only hold on with one breath, and my pulse and heartbeat are different from yours!"
"So, if Han Tianming is revived by the soul-returning Gu, might he become a living dead?" Bao Yunxiu said coldly, "Or, it is more terrifying than a living dead, a selfish living dead who is not afraid of life and death, and returns to his soul." Gu keeps growing in the body, dies and lives, lives and dies, and it goes round and round?"
"That is to say, you can't die?" Yue Gui was surprised, "This... isn't this a monster?"
Qian Mian swallowed hard, "I, I didn't expect it to be like this? If Han Tianming is immortal, then this soul Gu should be regarded as an elixir of life, right?"
"There is no immortality in this world, that is against the will of God." Han Busu coughed lightly, "He will be punished! Han Tianming is scheming and ruthless. He covets the Phoenix Gu, so naturally he covets the return of the soul." Gu. I don't believe that he would give up his life for Xi girl! The body is well preserved, which is the best witness!"
"I've always thought that Han Tianming is actually..." Bo Yunxiu glanced at Shen Muxi, but finally didn't say what was left.
Selfish people will always be selfish, this is something that is inherent and engraved in the bones!
Shen Muxi took a deep breath, "Let's go in!"
The door of rebirth has been pushed open!
