Chapter 998 Yuanxu
Lin Nian originally thought that the interior of the pyramid would be as solemn and prosperous as those pharaohs' tombs in history. At the very least, it should have gold coffins, painted reliefs and murals, but only when he actually walked inside did he realize that this place There was nothing, the road seemed narrow and winding, and all I walked through were tunnels extending in all directions and going deeper.
However, this is indeed consistent with the internal structure of the pyramid. After entering from the entrance, there is a long tunnel. The tunnel is full of mechanisms that can kill people. However, these mechanisms were all dismantled during the relocation. The end of the tunnel will be connected to a Although the magnificent corridor is still narrow, it no longer has a cramped ceiling. The stone sculpture of a human-faced lion is hidden in the wall, holding a lit torch, casting the shadows of Lin Nian and Ange everywhere.
Ange, who was walking in front, stopped, so Lin Nian stopped too. They came to the end of the corridor, which was connected to a secret room. The secret room had a blue-black floor and walls, and there was nothing else. It was empty. , reminiscent of the smooth and clammy interior of a water tank.
Ange made a gesture of invitation to Lin Nian. Lin Nian looked at the old guy twice before following him in. He also had the extra wisdom to leave the coordinates of "Fu Sheng" outside. First of all, it's not that he, Lin Nian, can't trust Angers, it's just that this room is too suspicious. If the person next to him is not Angers, he will even directly refuse to enter this secret room full of hanging rail atmosphere.
It's a pyramid, it's alchemy, and it's a secret chamber that symbolizes the pharaoh's tomb. It's hard not to imagine that when you walk to the door, you will be kicked in and locked up, and then you will be looked down from the small window with "Jie". Jie Jie's weird laugh burst out with lines such as "This is the cemetery carefully prepared for you" and "I will raise your wife and sister from now on. How sad, Fu Wei is still alive!"
Lin Nian felt that he was thinking too much. He stood in the middle of the secret room and rubbed his temples, then turned to look at Angers. Then he found the old guy standing by the entrance and twitching the Sphinx's hand on the wall outside. The torch inside, then the mechanism inside the pyramid started, and the floor of the secret room began to roar and shake.
After activating the mechanism, Angers took out the silk scarf in his diagonal pocket and wiped his hands. When he raised his head and prepared to walk into the shaking secret room, his face paused slightly because he found that Lin Nian disappeared out of thin air, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face. Expression, without looking back, "Have I ever told you that I don't like people standing behind me ever since I was shot in the back in Texas in 1899?"
"I haven't heard of it, principal. I don't have a gun in my hand, but the bullet that can hit you should not have been made by the military factory yet. So was it the 'Holy Judge' who hit you at that time?" Lin Nian looked at Ang. Hot Back said calmly.
"Yes, an old friend of mine. He should still be active in the mixed-race family circles in Chicago. If you had stayed in Chicago for a longer vacation, you might be able to receive his invitation." Angers turned to look at the brat standing neatly behind him, "Are you sure you don't want to follow me?"
"After you, sir." Lin Nian said calmly, "Respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a virtue. Doesn't the college also quote the ideas of 'Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism' in etiquette classes?"
"It's a good thing to be vigilant, but just a moment ago we were teachers and students having fun together. Now it seems a bit outrageous to make such a fuss. This can easily make me, an old guy, doubt whether my dignity as a teacher has deteriorated." ." Ange walked into the secret room that was shaking and starting to sink, and Lin Nian followed closely.
"The word spirit you moved just now is very interesting. It should not be 'moment' or 'time zero'." Angers stood in the center of the secret room and looked at the entrance that gradually disappeared upwards.
In the space at that time, he stood at the entrance and almost blocked the passage in and out, but Lin Nian still moved behind him without letting him notice the slightest movement trajectory. If it was really just relying on pure speed, then he had Angers, who has 'time zero', may really consider retiring to his island villa and drinking coconut wine.
"Is the principal scared?"
"People have always been afraid of the unknown, but since I have seen it once, I will naturally not be afraid anymore." Angers said, "I am just curious about the principle. Of course, you can also choose not to say it. After all, the trump card is better." The less people know about it, the better for the future.”
The old guy really knows how to show off.
Lin Nian casually broached the topic, "Isn't it rare for mixed races to have multiple speech spirits?"
"It's rare, but due to the existence of 'violent blood', it's not too unbelievable for hybrids to have multiple word spirits. In word spirit science, the vast majority of word spirits have upper-level word spirits and lower-level word spirits. The relationship between evolution and degeneration, the 'Wonderless Land' and the 'Liu Li Brahma City', the 'Snap' and 'Time Zero', the 'Kama Itachi' and the 'Vampire Scythe', evolved into higher-level speech spirits after the bloodline was refined. In fact, it’s not a secret at all.” Angers said,
"Although this kind of taboo knowledge is helpful for accelerating the journey on the road to slaying dragons, it is extremely detrimental in the long term. The Presbyterian Council and the school directors are worried that students will excessively pursue bloodlines and higher spiritual spirits and lose themselves in the pursuit of On the path of strength.”
After finishing speaking, Ange gave Lin Nian a meaningful look, and Lin Nian naturally knew what the other person meant.
'Snap' and 'Time Zero' are indeed related to the upper and lower word spirits. It is not unusual for him to control these two word spirits at the same time, but 'Fu Sheng' has nothing to do with the first two—— Possessing multiple spirit spirits must also be based on basic principles. No student has ever been able to use the "dustless land" and at the same time have the authority of "moment".
But what is interesting is that the form of "floating life" and the spatial displacement caused by backtracking are almost the same as the high-speed movement of "moment" and "time zero". In the eyes of people who do not have the speed of speech spirit, these three speech spirits The effect in actual combat is actually basically the same, which also leads to the fact that from the time when they had the 'Fu Sheng' to the present, very few people actually know about the existence of this word spirit.
As for 'Baqi', no one except Lu Mingfei knew about this spirit. Lin Nian's incredible vitality was attributed to the terrifying cell vitality brought about by the bloodline refining technology. This was also due to the He has never had a power like 'Junyan' that can make waves and make people see the difference at a glance.
"The skill of violent blood is not stable." Ange said, "He was discovered and used by the Lionheart Society, but to this day, the number of dragons killed by violent blood is hundreds of times less than the compatriots killed by violent blood itself. This is a taboo technology. Once you use it, you will enter the tunnel of Xibaiba (the place of death in Mayan mythology). You cannot turn back, because when you step into it, you will be lost or die in the darkness of the maze. Or hell leading to the end.”
"But principal, you are still alive today, and you are also a strong supporter of violent blood." Lin Nian said calmly.
"Every Avenger is a supporter of power, and Death is often full of forgiveness for those Avengers, and is willing to take them away a little later, because they know that the ending of those people is determined, and it is just a matter of time. ." Ange adjusted the cuffs of his suit and said slowly, "The school board will accuse you of relying too much on violent blood and gradually losing yourself in the pursuit of power. This is not an excuse to slander you, but most of the People really have huge doubts about you.”
Lin Nian was silent for a long time amid the roar of the floor sinking, and finally said, "What some people pursue throughout their lives is often what other people are born with."
"But be careful," Angers said, "when life comes to an end, maybe those who have pursued it will get what they desire, while those who are born with it will lose what they have."
The sinking of the floor stopped, and a huge cave space appeared in front of Lin Nian and Ange, and the place was filled with people!
Countless people in white protective suits were walking around, and the entire space was illuminated by countless blazing torches. Under the flames, you could see that the entire land was made of hard and cold black bronze, and snake-like intertwining patterns were etched on the ground, complex. The twists and turns are like the roots of a vine tree, growing lushly upwards, bifurcating and then bifurcating. The silver-white water flows in the grooves, and finally merges into the large silver lake at the end.
A huge 'domain' opens up in this space. It is an unparalleled array of words and spirits, maintaining the ultimate state that can be expressed by alchemy known to mankind.
Lin Nian cast his gaze towards the center of the alchemy field, the core point of self-circulation, and the vast lake of mercury. The huge shadow trembled slightly in his pupils, making him unable to help but sigh in a low voice, "Oh my God."
In the middle of the lake stood a creepy dark golden tree. It grew out of the mercury-filled lake, and its rugged branches spread out like the withered claws of a ghost. What is frightening is that this giant tree is alive, and an unknown dark red liquid overflows from its roots, polluting the mercury lake. Where the bloated and thick green-black trunk cracked, countless black-red blood vessels extended out, covering the dense branches like ivy, and produced green-black fruits shaped like viscera on the branches.
This unknown giant tree was locked in the lake. One end of dozens of bronze chains was dug deep into the cave wall, and the other end was tightly tied to the unknown giant tree. It is by no means a traditional plant that people know, because plants do not bleed scarlet blood or have a heartbeat! Peering in through the cracks extending from those blood vessels, you can vaguely see something unknown moving continuously, filled with a strong fishy smell, and the sound of throbbing came out slowly and powerfully from the deepest place, once, twice, three times.
"Welcome to Yuanxu. You are the first student to visit the Well of Oblivion. I don't think you will talk nonsense about what you see here?" Ange stood beside Lin Nian and looked at the The huge tree whispered, "There are 1,200 tons of flowing mercury stored here. Although the controlled room temperature prevents the mercury from evaporating too quickly, I think we still need to wear gas masks?"
What lay before them was the prison of the Lord of Bronze and Fire.
The Seven Deadly Sins·Bronze Purgatory.
