Obviously, the entrance to the Cui family's secret realm is in the ancestral temple, and the bronze temple where Qinghe and Longque were once placed is right next to it. It can be regarded as bringing Longque back to his old home for a visit.
It's a pity that Longque didn't seem to have the interest to revisit the old place. He lay in the ring and imitated the turtle, without saying a word. Beside him squatted a Xinghe, like a little doll lying beside his sister, curiously accompanying her to look at the surrounding scenery.
As for why the sword and the knife quietly in the ring could give Zhao Changhe such a feeling... it was not because of abnormality, but because after the battle with Huang Huang, the image of the sword spirit became more and more obvious. Zhao Changhe could almost see the illusion of human shadows overlapping with the swords, just like two children lying there looking out.
If this continues, will I dare to use them to fight others with swords and guns in the future? Why do I feel I can't do it, especially since Xinghe is just a baby in swaddling clothes...
Who designed the concept of Blade & Soul? It's so stupid.
But thinking about the final form of Ling, the blind man, who could independently do things outside, I felt relieved. It should be said that I was ahead of the world in this direction, even further than Xia Longyuan... Maybe it was because of the long-term contact with the blind man
As his mind flashed, Cui Wenjing had already opened the door to the secret realm. With a feeling of spatial distortion, the environment in front of him changed drastically. Outside was the peaceful and tranquil Qinghe County, but inside was an underground secret cave with an extremely strange atmosphere.
The interior was dark and gloomy, quite large, surrounded by jagged rocks, jagged and interlaced, giving people a ferocious and terrifying impression visually. The aura was extremely fierce, and walking in it was terrifying, which reminded Zhao Changhe of his own blood evil - this must be a similar evil spirit, and the evil aura formed by the slaughter of countless lives was lingering and eternal.
Excluding the natural bias caused by inheriting Lie's martial arts, and excluding his final passion to chop towards the sky, Lie is this kind of evil demon, bloody, brutal and cruel, with a heavy heart of killing. Rather than being a blood god, he should be called a blood demon.
And buried here is also a typical evil demon.
But there is also an extremely upright and righteous aura here, which is dense and suppresses this violence, so that it will not harm the people who enter, and will not spread out.
The further you go inside, the hotter it gets, just like the belly of a volcano, which should have been like being in a furnace. But with the neutralization of that majestic aura, this heat is not uncomfortable, but rather like turning on an air conditioner in the summer.
This aura is the will of the Qinghe Sword... This will of rivers and mountains can suppress evil and drive away demons, illuminating ghosts and monsters, and it has never disappeared because of the collapse of a sword.
There were several old men sitting cross-legged at the intersection below. They seemed to be the elders of the Cui family who were guarding the family's secret place and practicing with the Qinghe Qi here. Even the Gusu Lu family had their own place of practice. It was impossible for the Qinghe Cui family to practice on the ground with the same conditions as ordinary people. When Yangyang passed the test of his family, it must be here.
And these old men… although they are not included in the list of chaotic times, they all practiced in secret realms. Perhaps they have not fought against others for a long time, so there is no record of them on the list of chaotic times. But they definitely have the strength of the human list. A list of only a hundred people cannot include all the heroes in the world.
This is the terrifying background of the top families.
Of course, the more top-notch masters are, the harder it is to find them. This kind of thing is not something that can be produced just by having a solid foundation. The foundation guarantees that the backbone force is not weaker than others, and the birth of top masters requires various conditions. In a background where there is no immortality, it is difficult for an ancestor of the Cui family to emerge inexplicably.
Seeing Cui Wenjing and his daughter bringing Zhao Changhe over, the elders knew who they were and bowed slightly: "Greetings, King Zhao."
It seems that what happened on the ground has long been connected with here, and these dying old men obey the decision of their family.
Cui Wenjing asked, "Is everything normal inside?"
"The Qinghe Purple Qi has become slightly weaker. Without the Qinghe Sword, it will probably dissipate in a few decades."
Cui Wenjing nodded: "We will reforge the magic sword. Everyone stay on the main road. Anyone who enters without permission will be killed without mercy!"
The elders' eyes were filled with ecstasy, and they bowed and said, "We obey the orders of the Patriarch."
The elders made way for Zhao Changhe, who followed Cui Wenjing around the path ahead. Suddenly, the view in front of him opened up. Ahead was a red magma hell, with bubbling flames about to erupt. Broken bones could still be vaguely seen dissolved in the magma, and it was unknown how much time had passed before they were completely annihilated.
There is also a small mountain island in the center of the magma, and there is a cave in the mountain. This environment is obviously the place where an ancient demon god practiced in seclusion, and the evil spirit is emanating from it.
The vast purple air spread throughout the space, floating on the magma river, like a clear river flowing, calming the boiling magma. The location where the purple air was the most concentrated was at the entrance of the cave, which was almost covered tightly like a seal.
Cui Wenjing introduced: "Around this atmosphere, we have built many family trial sites, so I won't introduce them one by one. This cave is not complicated. Originally, an ancient evil demon was killed here by the Qinghe Sword. After the ancestors discovered this place, they buried the bones, took the Qinghe Sword, received many ancient inheritances, and the whole family sat here..."
Zhao Changhe asked: "Where is the body buried?"
"At the bottom of the magma." Cui Wenjing said, "Most of the magma contains the bones of those killed by this evil demon in ancient times. It is a good thing that he was buried there. I know you are worried about his revival, but this one is indeed dead and can't pose a threat."
Zhao Changhe nodded. According to the law of the secret realm, this secret realm should be caused by the Qinghe Sword, not the evil demon. The evil demon is most likely really dead, and died before the collapse of the era. He was confused about the original owner of the Qinghe Sword. According to Cui Wenjing, there was nothing wrong with the original owner. Where was the original owner
Cui Wenjing understood his confusion: "We really don't know where the original owner of Qinghe is. And according to the records left by our ancestors, Qinghe recognized its owner very directly, and it seems that there was no original owner."
Zhao Changhe nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
He felt that this place looked familiar, and he would check the "Atlas of Mountains and Rivers" later to see if there was any record of the ancient Xuanwu.
Exploring the ancient secrets was actually Zhao Changhe's main mission, but it was done too scattered and has not yet been connected. The secret realm of the Cui family suddenly made Zhao Changhe feel that the process of unifying the world was essentially the path to completing this main storyline, and it was just that Old Xia did not play by the rules.
When a blind man meets Old Xia, he is really like seeing a ghost.
Cui Wenjing said: "In short, our ancestors settled here to multiply their tribe. Although they had the intention of the spiritual energy here being richer than that of the outside world, they were mainly worried that there would be chaos caused by the resurrection of evil spirits here, and we have the responsibility to deal with it. After all, this is like sitting on the crater of a volcano, and their sense of responsibility is still very strong. Qinghe's recognition of the master is probably related to this. At present, the possibility of the resurrection of evil spirits is extremely small. I wonder if there will be any changes after the remaining purple energy here dissipates."
The three of them flew past, through the lava and straight into the cave. The cave was also divided into many areas, and the three of them did not waste time and went straight to the forging area.
As expected, there was underground fire rising. There should have been some weapons and treasures around, but they had been taken away by the Cui family. However, there was a forge standing alone in the original place. This was because it was directly related to the underground fire, and there was no point in moving it, so it was left here for the Cui family to forge swords. There was a lot of traffic, and it was not an absolutely forbidden place. There were also many traces of casting in recent years next to it.
Judging from this scene, the revival of evil spirits that the Cui family ancestors were worried about may have been forgotten by modern people long ago, and this place has definitely become a treasure land for the clan.
It was ironic that they started to get nervous after the Qinghe sword broke, fearing that the sword's breakage would cause a series of chain reactions.
Cui Wenjing asked: "How is it, is this fire enough?"
Everyone thought Zhao Changhe was an expert, but in fact, Zhao Changhe didn't really know much about fire. He was asking for a strategy: "Xia Xia, is this enough fire?"
The blind man ignored him.
So Zhao Changhe changed his strategy: "Longque, can this fire melt you?"
The lazily lying Dragon Bird suddenly jumped up and said, "With this useless fire, it can't even melt my sword tassel!"
Zhao Changhe raised his head and confirmed to Cui Wenjing: "Okay."
