"If my guess is correct, the thirty-six luminous pearls at the top of our head are an ancient magic circle. The energy of this magic circle is filled with the entire stone chamber. If we destroy any part of the stone chamber at will, we will destroy it. It detonated and blew us to pieces. wWW.qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo.Com" Ye Chen said solemnly, "So we must find out where the mechanism is."
After hearing Ye Chen's words, Tantai Ling raised her head and glanced at the thirty-six luminous pearls at the top, and then realized that there was something subtle about it. The science of magic formations was widely spread in ancient times, but was gradually lost. Even those who claim to be proficient in it The Tianji Sect of the magic circle has only scratched the surface. She didn't expect Ye Chen to be so knowledgeable. She glanced at Ye Chen in slight surprise, but Ye Chen made her look at him with admiration.
"The mechanism in this stone chamber is extremely hidden. How can we find its location?" Tantai Ling asked.
Ye Chen frowned in thought, and his eyes fell on the candlestick. The candlestick was firmly planted on the stone table and could not be moved, but it was a bit strange. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, yes, it was light!
He picked up some candles on the stone table and looked at them. They were too rotten to be used. He rummaged through the arm space and found a few candles among a pile of debris. At this time, Ye Chen also had to thank his father and uncle. When he left the valley, his father and uncle prepared many things for him, including many necessities for life, one of which was candles.
He inserted three candles into the candlestick and lit them one by one. Ye Chen saw that the light of the fire was blurred, forming streaks of light and shadow, which were projected in every corner of the stone room.
"No." Ye Chen shook his head. The candlelight was too messy. "It seems like they have to be lit one by one!"
Tantai Ling looked at Ye Chen working there, and finally a trace of surprise and curiosity flashed through her still eyes. She looked at Ye Chen, and saw that the young man in front of her was tall and powerful. Although slightly immature, there is a hint of wisdom that belies his age in his deep pupils.
First light a candle, the light and shadow will be projected, and a series of light and shadow will be formed.
There are six rays of light and shadow, covering more than 80% of the stone slabs in the entire stone chamber.
"These should be the qi machines of the magic circle. Once these qi machines are touched, the magic circle will detonate." Ye Chen said, then extinguished one candle and lit another. Then the third one.
In this way, the location of the mechanism was revealed. Tantai Ling looked around and said: "There are three stone slabs, which are not illuminated by light or shadow."
"These three stone slabs should be where the mechanism is." Ye Chen walked to one of the stone slabs, tried to move it, and pressed it in.
This stone slab can be pressed in a little bit, and there is only a crisp sound inside.
Ye Chen became nervous. If his guess is wrong and triggers the magic circle above, that's the end of it. For a long time, there was no movement in the magic circle at the top of the stone chamber. Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief and then walked to the second stone slab.
All three stone slabs were pressed in by Ye Chen, and there was a loud "rumbling" sound, and the whole stone room shook violently.
"What's going on?" Ye Chen was shocked. Suddenly I saw the wall in front of the stone chamber. Stone slabs were quickly removed, revealing an entrance. A long staircase spiraled all the way down.
A cold and decaying aura came up from the ground. This aura oppressed Ye Chen's soul. Ye Chen reluctantly moved his soul to resist the erosion of this aura.
"It should be here." Tantai Ling said, her face also turned slightly pale. The coldness in her body has not been eliminated. Although her strength has been restored, she is still injured.
"Should we wait until you recover before continuing?" Ye Chen looked at Tantai Ling and asked, after all, Tantai Ling is too weak now.
"Even if there is only one corpse left of that peerless strong man, his corpse cannot be touched by ordinary people." Tantai Ling nodded slightly and said, the white gauze on her body emitted a dazzling light, wrapping her whole body and resisting The violation of that breath.
Tantai Ling sat there, with streaks of light hovering around her body.
Ye Chen sat cross-legged in a position far away from Tantai Ling, with his back to Tantai Ling. He didn't want anyone to see his emotions at the moment. He lowered his head and thought of Ahri's voice and smile, and how he looked after his transformation. Slowly they reunited, smiling sweetly. As soon as it was quiet, Ye Chen couldn't help but think about it.
Ah Li is dead. Every time he thinks of this, Ye Chen's heart feels like it's being gnawed by thousands of ants. The pain makes Ye Chen want to cry.
There is also Xiaoyi. Although the time with Xiaoyi is relatively short, Ye Chen has already regarded Xiaoyi as his biological brother.
You shouldn't have come underground in the first place!
If we hadn’t come underground, this wouldn’t have happened!
It's all my own fault, I thought that with the soul, I would be as stable as a mountain.
The self-blame in his heart made Ye Chen feel like he was stabbed with two sharp knives, which hurt his heart.
Ahri, I'm sorry, I'm useless! Ye Chen punched the wall next to him, and a trace of bright red blood flowed down the wall. Without the circulation of Xuan Qi, he was just a mortal body, but the pain in his heart was more painful than the wound on his hand, and the pain in his eyes was The tears could no longer be held back and flowed down her cheeks.
Tantai Ling opened her eyes, looked at Ye Chen's lonely back, paused slightly, and asked with some confusion: "Is that civet cat really that important to you?"
"You don't understand." Ye Chen's voice was a little low and hoarse.
"I don't understand?" Tantai Ling remembered that when her father left, her heart felt like it was torn apart. She didn't understand at that time. She only knew that she wanted to avenge her father, so she held her father's hand. With her trident, her head was filled with thoughts of killing until blood stained the entire sea. At that time, she realized the true meaning of her martial arts, the way of life and death! After taking revenge, she was at a loss. It turned out that revenge could not make her feel happy. Her heart gradually sank into the coldest sea. To this day, she shook her head gently and said slightly, "Maybe I really don't understand." .”
Ye Chen took a deep breath and suppressed the longing for Ah Li and Xiaoyi in his heart. With the palm of his right hand facing upward, the Xuanqi flying knife appeared out of thin air, spinning rapidly and adjusting its direction. He was instantly filled with murderous intent. The entire stone chamber.
"Whether it's the ghost or the mastermind behind the Forbidden Land, I'm going to kill him!" Ye Chen's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and a murderous desire of hatred surged out crazily. The originally clear flying knife seemed to be carrying... Added a touch of black breath.
The terrifying murderous intention revealed from the mysterious flying knife made Tantai Ling feel scared. She understood that there was a trace of evil thoughts in the murderous intention. If Ye Chen was allowed to develop like this, Ye Chen would definitely die one day. She will become a demon, but so what if she becomes a demon, Tantai Ling won't say anything. Speaking of demonic thoughts, she actually has them. Everyone has their own chosen path. It doesn't matter whether they are good or evil. She doesn't care, not to mention Ye Chen and her. , they are just passers-by who meet by chance.
Tantai Ling looked at Ye Chen, and a cold voice came faintly, and said: "I was just like you once. I was a princess of the Siren Tribe, and I lived a carefree life every day, until one day, my father The king was killed by his enemies. At that time, I was just like you. I took my father's trident and killed all the enemies. However, I later found out that all this was meaningless. Even if I killed them, my father would also be dead. It's impossible to be resurrected." Tantai Ling didn't know why she said so many words today.
"If the same thing happens again, will you kill those enemies again?" Ye Chen turned his head and looked directly at Tantai Ling.
Tantai Ling was stunned for a moment, then slowly uttered one word: "Kill!" There was an indescribable decisiveness in this word.
Ye Chen turned around and said no more.
Tantai Ling suddenly felt that some of the knots in her heart that could not be resolved had undergone some changes. It turned out that there was no need for any reason at all.
"Perhaps one day you will find that the so-called emotions in the world are nothing but passing clouds compared with the vast martial arts. The long years will eventually wipe out any emotions. Only ruthlessness can be pure martial arts." Tantai Ling's slender hair Her jade fingers tied her slightly messy hair back. Her noble face was like a flawless jade sculpture. The quiet expression on her face showed no trace of emotion. She was as beautiful as a mortal, and she said There is no hint of fireworks in these words.
"Anyone who can say that can't possibly understand that true feelings will not be erased by time, but one day you will understand." Ahri's appearance appeared in Ye Chen's mind, and Ye Chen understood that even if he experiences more Even after so many years, he couldn't forget Ah Li.
Tantai Ling was noncommittal.
For a long time, neither of them spoke again, and the stone room became quiet.
After another half an hour, Tantai Ling finally recovered. She stood up, looked at Ye Chen and said, "Let's go down." Tantai Ling stood up again, and her aura was completely different from before. , the colorful halo circulated around him, and he walked towards the stairs.
Even if Tantai Ling has not returned to her peak state, she is still almost the same.
Ye Chen also stood up and followed Tantai Ling. After some special stimulation, the profound energy in Ye Chen's body also underwent a slight transformation. There was some progress and he was one step closer to the Tianzun level. Moreover, the profound energy in his body was even more violent than before, making Ye Chen a little restless.
Ye Chen understands that the incident between Ahri and Xiaoyi has had some impact on his Taoist heart. Now he faces two choices. One is to forget the incident between Ahri and Xiaoyi and stabilize his Taoist heart. The other is, that It is self-destruction of the Taoist mind, and the result is likely to be transformed into a demon.
However, it is impossible to forget Ahri and Xiaoyi.
Ye Chen didn't know what the result would be, but no matter what the result was, he had to bear it!
Following Tantai Ling, Ye Chen held the prison-breaking sword in his left hand, and condensed the mysterious flying knife in his right hand. He didn't know what else would be under this ancient tomb.
