Chapter 44: Days of mourning

Views:

"When the days are mourning, where is the thick soil? The pale water comforts me."

——When will the violent Golden Crow perish that day, and how long can the thick soil under the nine-day circling last? How many creatures can you raise? The boundless white water flows out from the 100,000 mountains, winding and twisting to save Wanjiang.

Accompanied by Bailishu's recitation, the scriptures of "Taiyilu" on the black iron chain under his feet lit up one by one. At this time, the words written one stroke at a time did not emit an ominous red light like before, but glowed with majestic golden light. Where Baili Shu walked, the dark black iron chains lit up one by one, extending slowly.

Wherever he walked, there was light.

The golden light stretched forward, and the lizards in the darkness retreated slowly.

"So that's how it is." Ye Qiusheng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized.

Kong An sealed "it" here, and because of his limited energy, he could not completely wipe out "it", so he sent the person who strengthened the seal back to Taishangzong. way. But now it seems that Kong An has already made arrangements.

Inscribed on the black iron chain is Taishangzong's "Taiyilu", if those who come here know the inside story, the disciples of Taishangzong who are ordered to come here can rely on chanting to awaken the dragons on the black iron chain that restrain the lizards. "Taiyilu", with the help of scriptures written with blood essence, arrived at the isolated island without incident.

Ye Qiusheng and Bailishu were reading "Taiyilu" together, but they were thinking quickly.

The so-called Taiyi is Taiyi, the name of the beginning of Hongmeng. "Taiyilu" records the ancient legends from the wild era, praising the power of killing demons and stating their achievements. Among them, the volume recited by Bai Lishu is the volume named "Yi" in the first three volumes of Taiyilu. Doom justice.

But what Ye Qiusheng cared about was the longbow that Baili Shu held in his hand.

And "Yi" said: "The time is mourning."

Days of death—when will the sun die.

Isn't the "Golden Crow" held by Baili Shu the so-called "Sunset Bow"

Bailishu...he knew what was in it, what was the origin of this man who appeared to be just Senior Brother Jiuxuan

Ye Qiusheng was awe-inspiring.

Nine Xuan Baili Shu, for the Eight Sects of Immortal Sect, it seems to have been born out of nowhere. Where is he from? do not know. Where is he from? do not know. Such a person was like a blank person in the past, what kind of intention did Jiuxuanmen use to make him the elder brother of Jiuxuan

Or... Bailishu is the one appointed by Jiuxuanmen

His thoughts were mixed, but Ye Qiusheng didn't show anything on his face.

Behind Ye Qiusheng and Bailishu, Jun Wanbai and Li Xin, who couldn't even write down the full text of "Taiyilu", looked at each other - if they could write down "Taiyilu", Jun Wanbai would be needed What the hell is going to Buna "Thunder Dragon Formation"

"Follow."

Bailishu's footsteps paused slightly, and he slowed down with his spiritual sense.

The power of the scriptures cannot last for a long time. After walking past, as the chanter goes far, the golden light will dim, and finally the black iron will return to darkness.

Jun Wanbai and Li Xin followed Bailishu.

The thin young man walked in front, the place he walked was bright and bright, Jun Wanbai followed the light left by him and sneaked step by step in the darkness, suddenly remembered all the legends about immortal cultivators that mortals had heard in the secular world - immortal stepping on the moon Come, to cross the tormented people in the darkness of worldly suffering.

When Jun Wanbai heard this, Jun Wanbai just laughed it off.

As an immortal cultivator, she knows all too well that immortal cultivators treat secular people with condescension and disdain. The ones who will transform the world will only be the legendary gods and Buddhas, not immortal cultivators who are dedicated to immortality.

However, at this moment, Bailishu's moderate chanting sound was heard in his ears, and the ancient scriptures passed down from the Wanxian Era to the present resounded in the darkness, with grandeur and solemnity, as if they could drive away all evil spirits. In his eyes, he saw the golden light shining little by little on the pitch-black chain, and the man's clothes were as white as snow in the golden light.

Then I remembered what Sanskrit Sect said all day——

"Buddha crosses the calamity with his body".

Kong An's successors are extraordinary. After reading a volume of "Taiyilu", Bailishu and others set foot on the isolated island. Bailishu's feeling is correct, this isolated island is indeed a huge prison, and in the middle of the isolated island, a bronze earthen tower stands majestically.

Yuantu, a prison in ancient times, was built in a ring shape.

The lizards on the isolated island stayed about three or four miles away from the bronze circle, as if some invisible force restrained them from moving forward. After Bailishu and others stepped into the invisible boundary line, the group of lizards behind them stopped catching up.

Baili Shu took the torch from Li Xin and walked into the ancient bronze prison.

The wall is about ten feet high, and there are animal patterns engraved on it. In the light of the fire, they are not any strange beasts that can be seen now. They are all ancient beasts that have disappeared for a long time as recorded in the "Three Emperors Scroll". Jun Wanbai lit a few more torches, one in each hand, to try their best to illuminate the bronze wall.

Baili Shu walked along the thick bronze wall for a certain distance, and he could probably see that the animal pattern on the wall was a riotous war.

Among the clouds painted on the top of the wall is the figure of the fog bird that they are all familiar with, but the fog bird that can drive them to death is very inconspicuous on it, obviously it is only an insignificant role—the creatures in the sky and the groundwater are all involved. In this melee.

The phoenix, which is a hundred times bigger than the bird of prey, grabbed the huge three-headed ancient python. One head of the ancient python twisted and bit the neck of the phoenix. Tiger carcass. The dragon in the water rolled up the sky-high waves, a spear was nailed to the dragon's seven inches, and the carnivorous dace jumped out of the water and bit the person who threw the spear wrapped in animal skin... The picture is bloody and violent .

The engraving technique is not refined, but the tragedy of the war in the simple lines is overwhelming.

"This is the battle of Emperor Fen mentioned in the "Bamboo Book", and it is also the battle where the ancient emperor first appeared." Ye Qiusheng said in a low voice.

He was right, Jun Wanbai and the others arrived in front of the Yuan Gate within a few steps. The raised relief on the round door with heavy shackles is no longer a picture depicting war, but a few ancient words: "When the day mourns, the water arrives, and the loser dies."

This sentence is actually the same thing as Baili Shu read just now, "When the days are mourning, where is the thick soil? The pale water comforts me."

The so-called "days" and "days" both refer to the rulers of the barbaric era, the legendary wild beasts, and the human race suffered a lot at the bottom of society, so they angrily questioned "that ruler who is as tyrannical as the golden crow When will it die?" On the surface, he complained that the thick soil was about to be dried by the sun, but in fact he said that the human race could not survive under the oppression of desolate beasts.

The last "Shuizhi" and "Pale Water, Comforting My Thousand Borders" are about the leader of the human race, Kong Jia, who led the human race out of the mountains to the plains and overthrew the rule of the wild beasts. That is, from this time on, The savage era ended, and human beings entered a chaotic era where gods and demons coexisted.

The war that ended the barbaric era was called: the Battle of Difen.

From then on, the leaders of various tribes began to scramble to become emperors first, and the ancient emperors appeared on the thick soil.

However, both the Era of the Wild and the Era of Chaos are too far away from now, and the truth and falsehood of these legends cannot be discerned—in fact, even the Era of Ten Thousand Immortals after the end of the Era of Chaos has left many unsolved mysteries. doubt.

"What the hell is sealed inside?"

Ye Qiusheng said softly.

What is it that is sealed here, and what is painted on the cage is actually a war scene from the change of era

The words with profound meaning on the heavy door brought an indescribable sense of oppression, and Ye Qiusheng stepped forward. The sealing method on the Yuanmen Gate was obviously added later, using the Taishangzong's technique, so it is naturally up to him to untie it at this time. These seals on the outside are actually nothing, the real seal lies in the middle of Yuantu. And the place where the problem occurs is also deep behind the Yuanmen. They have to go inside if they want to snap the "lock".

It wasn't until this time that Jun Wanbai and Li Xin had time to ask Bailishu.

"Where is this place?" Jun Wanbai held up the torch and looked at the half-hidden iron chain in the darkness. He could vaguely see those lizards lying on top of it and staring at it, "Why are you here? This fake scholar Why didn't you hang it directly on the road?"

When they first entered the underground cave, they saw something sneaking up on Bailishu at a glance, followed by the siege of the Chili, and they didn't have time to look at the environment here, let alone ask a lot of questions.

Now that she is free and can breathe a sigh of relief, Jun Wanbai directly throws out all the questions like cannonballs.

Li Xin didn't speak, but looked around, but obviously wanted to know the answer - if this kind of ghostly place didn't have some purpose, who would break in without incident.

"You shouldn't be here."

Bailishu didn't answer, he watched the Taishangzong's techniques unraveled by Ye Qiusheng one by one, and said softly for a long time.

With a click, Ye Qiusheng took two steps back, and the bronze door slowly slid open.

At this time, there was a dull loud noise from the darkness behind everyone, and Li Xin suddenly turned around to look for the reputation. The sound echoed in the closed valley, rumbling endlessly, and the isolated island suspended in mid-air trembled along with it. up.

"The door is closed."

Ye Qiusheng's face changed slightly.

Such a sound was clearly the sound of the opening of the huge door carved with bas-reliefs of fog when they had just entered-now those two doors have been closed again! Is it because he opened the Yuanmen Gate and started the mechanism, or because someone closed the giant gate from the outside

"Go quickly, there is not much time."

Before he had time to think about it, Ye Qiusheng kept urging, and while speaking, he was the first to rush into the Yuanmen.

Baili Shu also went in immediately, and Jun Wanbai and Li Xin, who were still confused until now, cursed almost at the same time, grasped the knife, and rushed in after pressing the hilt.

As soon as he rushed into the Yuanmen, a faint phosphorescent fire rushed towards his face, Jun Wanbai gathered his true energy, and followed closely the pace of Bailishu and Ye Qiusheng. After entering, the speed of these two people slowed down, as if they had some scruples about something inside. Li Xin adapted well to this gloomy environment. Relying on his mastery and familiarity with Yin Qi, he had a rough sense of the situation inside.

The Bronze Yuantu is indeed a prison, but what is locked in the huge ring-shaped rooms one after another are not prisoners, but skeletons.

In the middle of the circular structure is a patio-like space, where a dungeon is built. At this time, the top of the dungeon has been sealed by the whole piece of poured bronze. The circular patio is divided into three parts, each with a smaller one. , in the middle is a soul-sealing altar that towers above the ground like an ancient monument.

The steps made of white bones lead up to the top of the Soul Containment Altar. When standing on the ground and looking up, one can vaguely see an ancient sword stuck on the Soul Containment Altar.

Bailishu and Ye Qiusheng walked all the way, and they stopped when they reached the patio.

Jun Wanbai and Li Xin, who were late, didn't understand why they stopped at first, until they also rushed to the front of the patio.

—The ground of the bronze patio was shaking violently.

There have been many cracks on the bronze floor, and thick and sticky black air leaked out from the cracks, and the floor tiles were laid on the bronze, but because of the formations at the three corners and the soul-sealing altar in the middle, the black air has never been able to Rolled up, it can only be coiled on the ground.

Jun Wanbai and the others are no strangers to these black qi.

It is the magic energy.

However, compared with the demonic energy that Jun Wanbai and Li Xin encountered on the left side of the secret passage, it was like the difference between the water of a small stream and the vast sea.

"listen."

Seeing Jun Wanbai and Li Xin coming up, Bailishu said softly, signaling them not to ask more questions.

The four stood silently. Finally, Jun Wanbai and Li Xin heard what Bailishu wanted them to distinguish. With the undulation of the bronze floor, a faint voice came through the layers of the isolated island under their feet. Rock and thick bronze came up.

Boom, boom, boom,

One after another, monotonous and rhythmic.

Like something sealed in this earth-shattering prison, it is hitting the cage that restrains it hard again and again, tirelessly.

"It's almost done."

Ye Qiusheng said that he was staring at the three small formation platforms arranged on the bronze floor. There were originally three formation flags on each formation platform, but under the impact that lasted for an unknown period of time, the positions of the formation flags on the formation platforms had deviated greatly. It was a distance away, and it was shaking constantly, and it looked like it might fall down at any time.

Just when Ye Qiusheng said this, the guy imprisoned in the dungeon suddenly stopped moving, and the formation flag on the formation platform shook violently twice, and stood there in a panic.

"It's accumulating power, do it!"

Ye Qiusheng's face changed and he shouted sharply. With a flash of his figure, he rushed out and rushed towards the soul-sealing altar in the middle.
