In such a large temple, apart from this statue of the same height as a real person, and the bone torch in his hand, there is nothing else. There is no identity text carved on the base of the statue. Whether she is the statue of Athena is actually just Ning Tao's momentary wishful thinking, because Athena is holding a spear and shield in her hands, not torch.
The Statue of Liberty standing in Lighthouse Country holds a torch high, but that goddess is a sculptor.
It doesn’t really matter what goddess the goddess statue corresponds to.
Ning Tao reached out and grabbed the immortal torch held in the right hand of the goddess statue. At that moment, his mind was filled with the sound of ghosts crying and howling. It felt like thousands of lonely ghosts had penetrated him. in his head, eating his soul!
Kakaka… Kaka…
Amid the strong vibrations, cracks suddenly appeared on the ground and dome inside the temple.
Ning Tao hurriedly let go of his hand, and the sound of howling ghosts and wolves that filled his head disappeared.
The earth stopped shaking, dust and stone chips fell from overhead, but the cracks did not expand.
Ning Tao looked at the bone torch in shock. Based on what had just happened, he suspected that if he forcibly took the immortal torch from the hands of the goddess statue, the temple would collapse, and even the entire underground abyss would collapse. Will collapse.
Where did those cries and howls just now come from? There are really ghosts in this world, and how can this immortal torch summon the ghosts back
These questions popped up in Ning Tao's mind, but no matter what angle he analyzed and understood, his mind was always shrouded in a layer of fog.
For a while, Ning Tao sat down cross-legged again and took out the time-holding tower, the tree building board, the cloud ore, and the small porcelain bottle containing the fourth version of the ancestor-seeking pill.
boom!
After a brief period of blindness, the scenery in front of me changed.
The temple is still the same temple, but with an extra woman and a Western dragon.
The woman has wavy blond hair, wears black half-armor, and holds a torch. The torch bone handle was burning with a flame. I don't know if it's the blond woman or the torch, but there are always wisps of black energy lingering around the woman's body, like a group of snakes dancing around.
The Western dragon was old and frail, and was shambling. Its wings were folded on its back, and its right wing was covered with scars. There was even a large piece missing in one place, giving people the impression that it could no longer fly.
The blond woman stopped in front of Ning Tao and said, "It's coming. I know my ending, just like those immortals in the East."
The language she spoke was a very strange language. The first time Ning Tao heard it, he couldn't understand it at all. However, with the "translation" of the Whisperer, he knew what she said. But it was the first sentence of this opening statement that surprised and confused him. She mentioned the fairy in the East and her ending, and also mentioned a certain human or non-human existence. The information content in a simple sentence is very huge!
"My master, can't you escape?" Xianglong's voice was hoarse and old, giving people the impression that he was in his twilight years.
The blonde woman said: "Immortal Fire, you have been following me for thousands of years, don't you know me yet? I, Nebona, the Lord of the West, the holder of the Immortal Torch, the guide of the undead, I am not afraid of death, I have never They all face my enemies directly and never turn their backs on them!”
The Western Dragon, known as the Immortal Fire, lowered his head and remained silent.
Nebona added: "Without the gods, the heavenly realm will be destroyed, and the world will be covered by a heavy snowfall, and all living things will wither. However, like a mountain forest burned by wildfire, there will always be seeds sprouting from the soil after a long cold winter. "
"My master, why is this happening?" The immortal fire dragon's blood-colored eyes were full of sadness and confusion.
Nebona said: "Just like your aging, the gods will eventually die one day. There will also be aging and destruction on this day. You don't have to be sad."
The immortal fire dragon was silent again, and its eyes became even sadder.
"I know that the immortals in the East have used the Yinyue people to leave seeds. I also have my own plan, so I built this immortal temple. I will bury your bones under this temple, and you will protect me. The temple and the immortal torch, because it is my seed," Nebona said.
The immortal fire dragon raised its head, its eyes still sad, but also very determined. It said: "My master, I am ready."
Nebona said: "After you die, I will guide your soul to where it should go. Your remaining soul will stay here to guard my temple."
"My master, where are you going?" the immortal fire dragon asked.
Nippona smiled calmly: "My seed has been left in this immortal torch. I have to face it. Only if I die will this place be safe."
The immortal fire dragon seemed to understand something. It crawled down and kissed Nibona's instep with its huge lips.
But at that moment, Nippona suddenly raised the immortal torch high and plunged the bone handle into the huge head of the immortal fire dragon. Blood splattered like a waterfall, completely blocking Ning Tao's sight.
Then came the fire, and the flames engulfed everything.
In the flames, Nippona strode out of the temple, with the immortal torch no longer in her hand.
There was a huge skeleton in front of Ning Tao, but it was turning into ashes. The ashes blended into the rocky ground little by little and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She let it be buried under this temple, and its bones were buried here without any complaints, and it walked so openly and naturally.
Finally, everything stopped and nothing was left.
Nebona disappeared at the temple door.
Who is the enemy she is going to face
No way of knowing.
Is she dead or alive
No way of knowing.
What does she mean by seed
Still no way of knowing.
The picture of the past time and space suddenly trembled, and a woman in red appeared at the door of the temple.
It's her again, looking for the pill spirit of Zu Dan.
Her existence is like a ghost audience, watching with cold eyes the past and present lives of all living beings, as well as the past and present of this world.
She is everywhere, yet nowhere to be found.
Ning Tao stared at her, observing her every move.
The woman in red walked toward Ning Tao, her steps were brisk, and she seemed to be walking on the ground, but her feet did not touch the ground.
Ning Tao couldn't move his eyes, and his heart was full of surprise and confusion. This was the first time he saw the woman in red walking, walking towards him in the void.
A faint smile appeared on the lips of the woman in red, and a clear and sweet voice came out from between her red lips and her teeth: "Come here... Come here..."
Ning Tao just looked at her without speaking, because he knew that as soon as he spoke, the picture of the past time and space would collapse.
The woman in red arrived in front of Ning Tao in a blink of an eye. She suddenly reached out and poked Ning Tao's forehead with one finger.
At this moment, Ning Tao couldn't sit still and instinctively raised his hand to block.
Nebona and the Immortal Fire Dragon do not exist, but this woman in red is the pill spirit of Xunzu Dan. Until now, he only knew how to capture the pill spirit, but he could not even tell whether the pill spirit was a friend or foe, or even the pill spirit. He didn't know what kind of existence he was, so how dare he let her poke at his Niwan Palace
When the two hands touched, Ning Tao didn't feel the slightest touch, but the past time and space actually collapsed.
All fell into silence.
Ning Tao sat in a daze for a while, then put away all the props. He came to the statue of Nippona again and reached out to grab the immortal torch. However, when he was about to grab the immortal torch, his hand paused, and then slowly let it go.
If you take it at this time, it is very likely that this temple will collapse, and even this underground abyss will collapse. So much earth fire oil and so much spiritual soil have not been taken away. Isn't this stupid
Ning Tao bit his finger and drew a blood lock on the statue of Nippona, then turned and walked towards the gate of the temple.
嘤…
Suddenly there was a strange sound from behind, like a sound like taking a silver or gold coin to your mouth and blowing it hard.
Ning Tao stopped and turned around suddenly to look.
The blood lock that had just been painted on it melted into the statue like ice and snow, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. At that moment, Ning Tao suddenly felt that Niebona's eyes seemed to blink and glance at him! However, when he looked carefully, there was no sign of her eyes moving at all.
Is it an illusion
Click!
Just as Ning Tao was observing the eyes of the statue, the immortal torch held in the statue's hand suddenly trembled, and then slipped from the statue's hand. The flame in the torch also went out the moment it fell off.
Ning Tao hurriedly reached out to catch it. This time, there was no terrifying feeling of thousands of lonely ghosts squeezing into his brain, nor was there the terrifying sound of ghosts crying and screaming. There was only the weight and texture of the torch itself. .
It's a very normal weight, and it just feels a little heavy for someone who's just over a foot tall. I don't know what kind of bone it is made from. It is jade-white but opaque. It has the texture of jade and contains extremely powerful spiritual energy. But when Ning Tao held it in his hand, he knew that it was not jade, but a kind of bone.
After a brief period of shock, Ning Tao came to his senses. The ground did not shake, and the cracks did not expand. The huge temple was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
Ning Tao's eyes fell on the immortal torch again, and after a while he said tentatively: "What do you mean? You just didn't want me to take it, and now you dropped it to me. Are you? Not hiding in there? Come out and let’s talk.”
There was only Ning Tao's voice in the empty temple.
Just before drawing the blood lock, Ning Tao was still thinking about drawing a blood lock after going out to cross the river, and then calling his three wives and a group of subordinates to move in the spiritual soil, obtain land, fire oil, and maybe look for other heavens. Let’s go on a treasure hunt at Caidibao. He moved all the necessary things away, and then went to get the immortal torch. At that time, he didn't care whether the temple collapsed or not. Unexpectedly, he drew a blood lock on the statue of Nippona, and the torch fell down on its own and extinguished the fire automatically.
When no one responded, Ning Tao tried to inject a bit of spiritual power into the immortal torch to activate it.
There was no reaction from the Immortal Torch, and his trace of spiritual power disappeared without a trace like a mud cow entering the sea.
Ning Tao tried again, but the immortal torch still didn't respond at all, and it didn't respond to calls. Finally he gave up. He was too lazy to go to Dihe to draw the blood lock. He directly took a prescription with the blood lock on it, opened a convenient door in the temple, and walked in.
