The dark ancient mine was dead and silent, and Ye Fan stood for a long time, thinking a lot, but in the end he did not change his mind and chose to move on.
He walked forward alone, unhurriedly, paying attention to everything around him, but there were no more engravings on the rock wall, and everything just now was over.
After traveling for more than 30 miles, the soil on the ground suddenly became soft, and the soles of the feet could be completely submerged when stepping on it, turning grayish white.
At first, Ye Fan didn't care about it, but after walking several hundred feet, he felt that it was getting colder and bitterer, and the place was extremely cloudy, like a north wind blowing snow on his body.
When he stepped on a hard object and made a cracking sound, Ye Fan suddenly understood what kind of place he had come to.
The off-white color on the ground is not ordinary soil, but bone ashes, and there are still incompletely melted dry bones inside, and the Yin Qi is exuded by these ashes.
He is a monk, and he is not afraid, but he has to think about how many human bones are needed to accumulate these ashes.
He quickly thought of the peerless divine source in this dragon vein. When it was born, its skeleton was like a mountain and its blood flowed like a river. Could it be caused by that horrible creature hundreds of thousands of years ago? Those who collected the source in the past are all resting here...
After walking a long way, the gray ashes still did not reach the end, and a thick layer had accumulated in the ancient mine.
"Crack!"
After walking for hundreds of meters, the ashes finally disappeared, replaced by dead bones, densely packed, all over the place, already decayed, and will turn into ashes with a light step. Under the power of time, nothing can last long.
Arriving here, the ancient mine has become like an ice cellar, and the cold air is scraped on people's skin like a knife.
"It's no wonder that mephits live here. As expected in ancient books, they like to live on the edge of a place of great evil."
Ye Fan was on high alert. He didn't want to lose his life inexplicably in the ancient mine before entering Zishan.
"Woo..."
The dark wind howled, and the shadows were vague, and among the piles of dead bones, there appeared one after another hazy ghosts, very faint.
"There is such a thing?" Ye Fan was surprised.
He raised the stone knife in his hand and walked forward unswervingly. This two-foot-long ancient knife seemed to have the power to ward off evil spirits, and those shadows retreated one after another.
"Clatter..."
Among the piles of dead bones in front of him, there was the sound of iron chains, Ye Fan's heart trembled, and he felt a cold evil spirit.
He leaned against the wall of the mine, and walked forward soundlessly, his breath was covered by the stone coat, and nothing leaked out.
Just over a hundred feet ahead, there is a deep dark hole in the rock wall of the mine, and the sound of the iron chain shaking is coming from inside.
The hole was very deep, and the piercing chill was shocking. It turned into a tangible substance and overflowed, and when it touched the human skin, it was as painful as a needle prick.
Ye Fan hurriedly put down the cover on the stone helmet, covering his eyes and face.
From the depths of the black hole, there was an inaudible roar, accompanied by the sound of iron chain shaking, as if a murderous thing was locked.
It can be clearly seen that there are many ghosts among the piles of dead bones, which shattered with that roar, turned into Yin Qi, and were swallowed into the black hole.
"What is this thing?!" Ye Fan frowned, it was definitely not a kind thing, but probably a super vicious thing.
One must know that many source collectors and monks died here hundreds of thousands of years ago, bleeding and drifting. After so many years, it is normal for a fierce spirit to be born.
"It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it doesn't block my progress." He secretly estimated, thinking that the ominous creature would not rush out, carefully bypassed it, and continued to walk deep into the mine.
"Perhaps, this stone coat really has some strange effects, and filthy things can't get on it."
After traveling for a long distance, the dead bones finally disappeared. The ancient mine was very dry and there was nothing left.
Ye Fan estimated the distance, and it was about thirty-five miles deep, probably not too far from Zishan.
After another four or five miles, there was a light in front of him, flickering and very soft.
This surprised Ye Fan. He had just walked through the pile of dead bones. In his opinion, he must have entered a place of great danger, and it would become more and more dangerous.
However, just a few miles away, there is a strong aura blowing towards the face, which makes people feel peaceful.
"Just after walking out of the pile of corpses, a pure land appeared?"
The cry of the crane came from ahead, this was not an illusion, because he had actually seen it.
After traveling for several miles, a bright world appeared in front of my eyes. The ancient mine was no longer dark, and the soft brilliance flowed, making it peaceful and holy.
"This is Yuan's breath!"
Although it was bright, it couldn't be seen very far, and the fog flowed, blocking people's sight.
Ye Fan was a little dazed, the mist was formed after the source melted, and it was a vigorous life essence.
"The spiritual energy is overflowing, there must be a lot of energy here..." Ye Fan searched, but found nothing.
Genesis Qi fluttered, radiant, and a crane flew past, as if it hadn't seen him, soaring in the ancient mine.
"This is..." Ye Fan was quite surprised.
"Aww..." Then he saw another earth dragon, with a lizard body and dragon scale armor, crawling past not far away, its huge body looked very heavy.
Then, a group of fiery red birds flew by, flapping their wings, causing the air to surge violently.
"How can there be living things?"
He was wearing stone clothes, these creatures did not feel his breath, he was a little dazed, standing in the field.
According to Ye Fan's understanding, this is a dead and silent place, there is no possibility of anything, but right now it makes him a little incomprehensible.
"Origin Qi... is formed by the transformation of Origin Qi!" Ye Fan was startled suddenly, and said: "There is no way there is such a creature in the ground."
"There is a source of gods here!" He thought of the legends he had heard in Shizhai. Some sources of gods would turn into various inexplicable creatures after leaking out, roaring around.
He was suddenly excited, if he found the source of God, it would be a great harvest! That is the treasure that the holy land is fighting for, and it does not hesitate to tear its face.
Ye Fan stood in front of him with a stone knife in his hand, looking for it in the dense aura.
"Crack!"
There was the sound of bones cracking under his feet, and he frowned. In such a peaceful place, there are actually many bones.
"Hey, this is..." Ye Fan was taken aback. These bones could not have been left over hundreds of thousands of years ago, they are all hard and shiny.
He squatted down in the mist, observed carefully, and saw more than a dozen bones one after another. Some bones were thousands of years old, while others seemed to be only hundreds of years old.
"It seems that over the years, some people have entered here by mistake from time to time..." Ye Fan felt awe in his heart, these people all died here, this peaceful place is not as simple as it looks on the surface.
Cranes, earth dragons, flocks of fiery red birds, and other creatures hover and run around.
In addition, Ye Fan found many huge deep pits, all of which were fossil bones, all of which were some strange ancient creatures.
He felt that this place was very strange, and he slowly moved forward in the ancient mine. After walking for more than a mile, he finally came to the place with the strongest aura.
In addition, he felt a terrible killing intent here, and his heart was throbbing.
Right in front, there are two bottomless big holes, one is soaring with spirit energy, and the source energy is constantly rolling up, while the other is full of evil energy, which is more terrifying than the sharpest sword light, making people tremble.
The two were so close together that there was silence around them.
"Yin Yang eyes!"
Ye Fan was really surprised. These two black holes were very similar to the Yin and Yang eyes in the Taiji diagram. If a circle was drawn around them, it would be a natural Taiji diagram.
In fact, they are indeed operating in this way, spewing out the origin gas so that the hole is surrounded by bone fossils, and the aura is fierce. And the hole that shot out the evil spirit was surrounded by brilliance and origin stones everywhere.
Holding yin while embracing yang, carrying yang while embracing yin, this is completely a natural Tai Chi diagram, not carved by man, it is the mighty force of nature.
"Contains great power!"
Ye Fan's heart was shaken, no wonder Yuan Tianshi of the Zhang family repeatedly emphasized that the general situation of this place cannot be moved, cannot be moved, you can know the whole thing by seeing the small things, you can know the whole leopard by seeing a spot of pattern, and you can know the winter cold by seeing a eaves of ice.
Before entering Purple Mountain, seeing such a landform, one can imagine the horror of this place.
That is indeed a natural Taiji diagram, where the source qi and evil qi merge and flow, cutting across the front.
Ye Fan saw a lot of dead bones in front of this natural Taiji diagram, and he had to squat down to observe carefully. If the ancestor of the Zhang family died here, there was no need for him to move on.
There are more than 20 dead bones in total. Judging from their bone quality, they have existed for thousands to tens of thousands of years, and all of them have been pierced by sword energy.
Ye Fan picked up a dead bone and threw it towards the natural Tai Chi diagram.
"Hey!"
Origin Qi and evil air circulated, forming tens of thousands of sword glows, and that dry bone was instantly wiped out.
He used his divine power to try to break through the surrounding mine walls and find another way out, but the image of the god was alive, and his sword energy was criss-crossing, and he directly slashed across.
The supreme power formed by nature made Ye Fan feel chills in his heart. With such a divine plan blocking him, no matter how he passed, it would be invincible.
Ye Fan checked carefully, and found that the bones on the ground should be strong, but none of them were able to rush over, and all of them were pierced and killed here.
There is a white bone even with silvery spots, the bone quality is very special, and it looks like a super person at first glance, but it still cannot escape the fate of death.
Ye Fan searched carefully and found many broken weapons. He even found a jade pendant in front of a delicate skeleton with the word Yaochi engraved on it.
This made him move in his heart, and he searched carefully, but unfortunately there were no other relics, let alone the Yaochi mentality he needed.
"How did you get there?" According to Ye Fan's cognition, the ancestor of the Zhang family a thousand years ago was not that high in cultivation and could not go very far.
"Where he was able to reach, so should I. Did he shatter here, or did he go inside?"
Ye Fan wandered outside the Tai Chi diagram, sacrificed the cauldron of the Mother Qi of all things, gritted his teeth, and prepared to test whether the cauldron could withstand such sword energy.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, he discovered an abnormal phenomenon, sometimes the Taiji Diagram was completely shrouded in evil energy, and sometimes it was completely covered by source energy.
Yin and Yang do not always circulate, occasionally there will be a lonely yin and a lonely yang, becoming a single pole, and this kind of sword energy is even more terrifying. That kind of terrifying fluctuation makes Ye Fan feel chills.
However, at this time, he found a trace of abnormality. Whenever the sun is alone, that is, when the Shenyuan hole erupts alone, the stone clothes and stone knives on his body will glow.
"this… "
His heart suddenly moved, this is Shenyuan's old skin, and there is a subtle relationship between the two.
"Perhaps, the peerless sword energy formed by Shenyuan may not smash Shiyi." With this thought, Ye Fan immediately took action.
When Gu Yang was formed, Shenyuan transformed into a shocking sword energy, and he stretched out the stone knife.
In an instant, he felt a huge impact, like a surging river hitting a raft. The stone knife was not shattered, but was almost thrown away by the impact.
Ye Fan was dumbfounded, and sighed again and again: "The relationship between all things is so wonderful. The peerless source of God forms sword energy, which is indestructible and indestructible, but it is harmless to the stone skin that wraps it."
Except for the inheritance of Yuan Tianshi, it is impossible for monks to know such a restraint relationship, and the natural divine map that makes the top monks helpless can be deciphered in this way.
"In this way, the ancestor of the Zhang family really walked in thousands of years ago..." Ye Fan really hoped that the other party would not go too far, so that he could find it.
Life is the most important thing, this is his bottom line, if there is any real danger, he can only give up, he can fight for chance, but he can't fight for life.
There is a thick layer of bone powder piled up in front of the picture of the god of nature. For endless years, it is unknown how many monks have been smashed to pieces here.
As for the dozens of skeletons behind them, they can be preserved, which is enough to show that they are powerful, and they must be unworldly powerhouses, and the sword energy in the Tai Chi diagram did not smash them.
"I remember that many of the bones in the Bronze Immortal Palace have jade luster, and there is also one here..." Ye Fan looked back at the silver bone.
He couldn't calm down in his heart, he must be a peerless figure in Donghuang, but he hated this place, which shocked him very much.
"Sometimes, strong power alone is not enough, and correct means are needed."
Ye Fan waited for half a quarter of an hour, and when Gu Yang regenerated, he took off the stone coat and tried again, finally convinced that he could pass.
"Under this place, there is a peerless source of gods, but it is a pity that a natural map of the gods has been formed, and it is impossible to dig it out."
After half an hour, Ye Fan adjusted to the best condition, ready to cross the terrifying map of God.
"I don't know what kind of place will be behind this divine picture. It should reach the underground of Zishan, right?"
The moment Gu Yang rose, he turned into a flash of lightning and charged forward, with peerless sword energy shining from the anode to the cathode, covering the entire divine map with thousands of sword lights.
However, when encountering Shi Yi, the sword energy turned into water waves and did not penetrate. Shenyuan's stone skin is indeed spiritual, exuding a soft holy light, protecting Ye Fan from passing through safely.
"brush!"
He passed through the wave-like light curtain, came to the other end, and hit the stone wall with a "bang".
The ancient mine has come to an end, and there is a purple stone wall blocking the way ahead.
"Purple Mountain!"
Ye Fan knew that he had finally come to the bottom of Purple Mountain. After some inspection, he found nothing unusual. He directly sacrificed the golden book, split open the purple rock, and walked inside.
He was surprised to find that as he moved forward, the passage behind him quickly closed, Zishan seemed to be alive, and the broken place quickly recovered.
Feeling bad, Ye Fan dug back and rushed out again.
"Not as bad as expected..."
In the end, along the way, Ye Fan left a lot of imprints of his spiritual consciousness as a mark, excavated Zishan, and continued to move forward.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise at the end, and his eyes were blurred. In front of him, the sapphire was the stairs, the white jade was the gateway, and a majestic building appeared.
He finally arrived at his destination and entered the interior of Purple Mountain.
Ye Fan didn't act rashly, he quietly sensed here, and didn't notice any life fluctuations, so he went up the stairs.
This is a cave dug out of the Purple Mountain, stepping up the sapphire stone steps and entering the white jade moon gate, it is very quiet, as cold as the Guanghan Palace.
"There are nine dragon veins, that is to say, there should be nine entrances leading to Zishan."
"In addition, there must be living primordial creatures inside, and the source of the gods recorded in the engravings in the ancient mine should be here."
Ye Fan felt a drum in his heart, the creature hundreds of thousands of years ago was too terrifying and powerful, and it must be suppressed by the emperor.
This piece of palace is empty, there is nothing there, it is all carved from ancient jade, not a single word was left behind.
Ye Fan took out the piece of imperial jade that he got and hung it on his body as a jade pendant, thinking it would not have any bad effect.
The palaces and pavilions are all carved from ancient jade, which can be called Qionglou Yuyu. Ye Fan searched here and found nothing unusual.
Finally, at the end of the building, he saw more than a dozen blood jade steps leading to a deep cave.
