Chapter 2023: Grave
Young Master Xin stepped off the Luan Che, stretched out his hand, and the Luan Che turned into a white light and disappeared into his sleeve.
Although he did not know the plans of the masters and servants of the Xin family, Qin Sang could see the changes in their expressions as the monks of the Xin family fell behind one after another. Qin Sang also noticed Pei Gongfeng's faint sneer, and he could guess the truth.
The Xin family monks were forced to retreat one after another, and fewer and fewer people remained. It was almost impossible to support a powerful formation. Without the protection of the spiritual formation, in the eyes of Qin Sang and Pei Gongfeng, no matter how many people there were, they were nothing more than a pile of scattered sand.
Qin Sang was very curious about how Young Master Xin could resolve the crisis, or how she planned to convince herself to contain Pei Chongfeng.
Young Master Xin looked quite calm and did not ask for help. He ordered Steward Luo to step forward to clear the way and personally direct the situation, relying on the Xin family's own strength to break through this light field.
She spread her right palm, burning a ball of talisman fire. The periphery of the flame was red, and the heart of the flame showed a light green. There seemed to be some kind of guidance deep in the light field. As the talisman fire swayed, Young Master Xin kept changing and moving forward. direction, traveling through the vast field of light.
Strange lights are everywhere. Affected by this, some people may have the illusion that they are always going around in circles, but Qin Sang and Pei Chongfeng can sense that the surroundings are changing all the time. To the naked eye, these strange lights seem to be the same, but in fact they are completely different from the outside.
In the chaotic light, there seems to be an invisible barrier hidden. If there is no one to guide you, you may get lost in the light field, or you may go straight through and find nothing, and you may not notice anything strange.
This is a very clever hiding method. It is most likely to be some kind of spiritual formation or ancient ban. Qin Sang is not sure. He patiently observes the surroundings and vaguely senses a slight fluctuation, but it is always fleeting and cannot catch the fluctuation. source.
Young Master Xin wanted to lead them through this invisible barrier.
In the end, all the Nascent Soul monks were evacuated, and nearly half of the Soul Transformation monks were seriously injured. The Xin family paid a heavy price and finally passed through the invisible barrier, as if they had entered another space.
There is darkness ahead.
The moment it came in, the surrounding strange lights quickly moved away, and the most dangerous invisible light also disappeared, suddenly turning from light into darkness.
Everyone turned to look behind them and found that the strange light that was still surrounding them had retreated to the end of darkness.
Not only that, the feeling this space brings to them is also very different from the outside.
Deadly silent and cold...
For no reason, everyone had the same idea, as if they had entered a ghost realm filled with gloomy energy, but there was obviously no gloomy energy around them.
Qin Sang and Pei Gongfeng stared into the darkness, seeming to see something, and their faces gradually became serious.
"Everyone adjust your breath and recover first."
Young Master Xin shouted, the surrounding was safe for the time being.
Qin Sang and Pei Gongfeng looked at each other and said nothing. They waited patiently for the Xin family monks to finish adjusting their breath and fly into the depths of darkness.
Gradually, the monks of the Xin family also felt something strange. There was an unknown force permeating the place, which could blind their perception, leaving only their sight unaffected.
When they flew a certain distance, something finally appeared in the empty void. But when they saw what was in front of them clearly, everyone couldn't help but stop, surprised and confused.
"This... looks like a tomb!"
A Xin family monk said in surprise.
There is a shadow floating in the void, which is obviously a man-made high platform. It is majestic and majestic, higher than the mountain. There are steps leading upward on all sides, and a long trail extends from the front.
The trail is built with a kind of white stone that no one has ever seen before. What is strange is that there are no runes on the white stone, only natural messy lines, but it gives people a strong sense of desolation and simplicity, as if it combines time and history. Engraved on the surface of the white stone.
There are two rows of statues standing on both sides of the trail. Most of them are broken and almost no survivors. The best-preserved statue seems to be carved of a strange-looking monster.
There was a majestic building on the top of the platform, with an outline like an inverted hemisphere. A portal protruded facing them. Two black stone doors were tightly closed. In front of the portal was a stone table with a broken leg, and some scattered stones.
This structure and pattern are reminiscent of a mausoleum. Could it be that what they went through so much trouble to find was just a grave? No wonder it felt eerie before.
Whose grave?
Everyone looked at Young Master Xin one after another, and saw Young Master Xin waving his hand to extinguish the talisman fire, floating down at the front of the trail, moving his lotus steps lightly, and walking towards the high platform step by step.
Including Qin Sang and Pei Chongfeng, everyone did not fly over rashly and followed Young Master Xin on foot to the high platform.
"right here?"
After entering the light realm, Pei Gongfeng had been watching with cold eyes and took the initiative to ask for the first time.
"Exactly this place!"
Young Master Xin stared at the two stone doors.
Pei Gongfang frowned, "Why is this a place like this? Whose grave is this?"
Qin Sang walked to the edge of the high platform alone, gently touched the broken railing, felt the rough texture of the white stone, and glanced around.
If this is really a mausoleum, those statues should be tomb-guarding beasts. This place is filled with an ancient atmosphere, and the owner of the tomb must be an ancient monk.
At Fengju Yumen, Qin Sang saw all kinds of magical illusions and broken small worlds, and saw the mausoleum for the first time.
"I don't know whether it is someone's tomb. My father only said in his last words that if we can really find this place, there will be a passage behind the door, and there will be something inside, and what we are looking for will be inside. …”
Young Master Xin turned around and said, "Senior Pei, we could have formed a formation to open the stone gate, but we lost too many people in the front. With just a few of us, it might take a long time..."
Pei Gongsheng glanced at Qin Sang, waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Although I have agreed with Daoist Xin that I will not take action until we enter, I am not a demanding person. Tell me, how can we open the stone gate?"
"Thank you, Senior Pei!"
Young Master Xin bowed and walked to the stone gate alone.
The stone gate was a hundred feet high, and Young Master Xin looked very small standing in front of the gate. She mobilized her true energy, formed a seal, raised her right hand and gently pressed on the stone gate. Then a ball of black light emerged from her palm, and the black light quickly spread out.
The stone gate remained motionless, but as the black light permeated the entire stone gate, it seeped into it like water, and faint lines appeared on the surface of the stone gate.
These lines became clearer and clearer, densely packed, and extremely complex, as if they were composed of countless runes. They were a kind of strange runes that no one had ever seen before, and they were not fixed, but changing every moment.
The Xin family monks looked at the stone door and soon felt dizzy. It seemed that a strange vortex had appeared on the door, which could devour their minds. They were secretly shocked and looked away.
Pei Gongsheng also put away his relaxed look on his face. It was obvious that the ancient ban on the door would not be easy to crack.
Everyone was attracted by the stone door, including Qin Sang. When he saw the ancient ban on the stone door, he unexpectedly felt a little familiar, but he had clearly never seen such a ban.
He quickly found the reason for the familiarity, not the familiarity with the ancient ban itself, but the familiarity with that feeling. When he saw the ban of the witch clan before, it was also so strange, incomprehensible.
But he couldn't be sure that this place was the remains of the witch clan, because it was different from all the witch clan bans he had seen before.
However, Fengju Yumen was originally the sacred mountain of the Wu clan, and it makes sense that there are Wu clan relics here.
Could it really be the tomb of a great Wu clan in ancient times?
At this moment, Young Master Xin explained in detail the key to breaking the ban, and signaled Pei Gongfeng that he could take action.
Pei Gongfeng raised his right hand, and a purple light suddenly appeared between his fingers. It was a slender purple long needle, which was pinched by Pei Gongfeng's two fingers.
The purple needle trembled slightly, and the tip of the purple light flashed. The extremely subtle purple light seemed to contain violent power. Everyone who saw the purple needle felt a stinging pain in their eyes and dared not look directly at it.
‘Shua! ’
The purple needle flew out of his hand, and the needle shadow flashed in the air, and instantly split into thousands.
Countless purple needles were suspended in the air, with the needle tip pointing to the stone gate in the distance. Each needle shadow pointed to a node of the ancient ban, and after a tremor, it shot out wildly.
‘Puff! ’
The purple needle shadow instantly sank into the stone gate, immediately provoking a fierce reaction from the ancient forbidden area, and bursts of black waves erupted one after another. The black waves seemed to be small, but they had an extremely powerful shock force.
Young Master Xin's face turned pale, and his right hand that touched the stone gate was swallowed by the black wave in an instant, and his delicate body trembled slightly.
The first to bear the brunt was Pei Gongfeng, who broke the ban himself. He frowned slightly and saw the trembling needle shadow. He said to Qin Sang: "Elder Qin, please lend a hand, so as to avoid more trouble at night."
It's not that he can't stop the black wave, but he doesn't want to waste too much energy here, especially with Qin Sang.
Qin Sang nodded, summoned the Gray Oriole Sword, and the sword light split. There were as many sword lights as there were needle shadows, and they all slashed towards the place where the needle shadow attacked.
Pei Gongfeng was a little disappointed. This kind of exquisite control ability was not a difficult thing for a cultivator of the Void Refining Sect. He wanted to see Qin Sang perform his unique swordsmanship and explore his details.
Sword light and needle shadows attacked together, and the black wave was suppressed on the spot before it erupted. Young Master Xin's complexion improved. He did not dare to hesitate and changed the seals one after another. With a roar, the heavy stone door was finally shaken by them.
The stone door just trembled, and the mausoleum under their feet also shook. Young Master Xin used all his strength and finally slowly pushed the stone door open a gap.
'Huh! '
A cold breath rushed out from the crack of the door.
Behind the door was a darkness that was purer and deeper than the outside, swallowing all the light. The inside was full of mystery, attracting everyone to explore, and it was like a huge mouth of the abyss, waiting to swallow the lives of those present.
Everyone tried to explore with their spiritual sense, but they were immediately bounced back after entering the door. It seemed that only by going in personally could they know what was inside.
Not daring to expect the two refining cultivators to explore the way for them, Young Master Xin rested for a while, summoned the Xin family cultivators to form a formation, and walked into the stone door carefully.
Pei Gongsheng followed closely behind, and Qin Sang fell behind.
After crossing the threshold, they unexpectedly found that the front was not completely dark. They entered a tomb passage with a faint light, and they could see things with their naked eyes.
The long tomb passage led to the unknown. The top, walls and floor of the tomb passage were all made of white stone, as if they had entered a tall stone palace. There seemed to be murals carved on the surface of the wall, but they had faded long ago and it was impossible to tell what was painted.
Pei Gongsheng didn't see the reason either, and turned to ask Qin Sang, "Does Elder Qin recognize this kind of mural?"
"Unheard of!"
Qin Sang shook his head.
He stared at the wall on the left, his expression normal, as if he was concentrating on observing the mural, but in fact, his heart was already stirred up, and he glanced at the ring on his right thumb - Qianjun Ring!
Just now, at the moment of crossing the threshold, something unexpected happened, and Qianjun Ring sent a throbbing.
This was completely beyond Qin Sang's expectations. Qianjun Ring had been with him for many years and had been used as a mustard seed magic weapon. How could he have expected that Qianjun Ring would change here?
He was caught off guard, and he barely had time to cover it up. Fortunately, there was no obvious abnormality in Qianjun Jie, and others did not notice it.
Qin Sang looked at Qianjun Ring again.
This is an ordinary wrench, made of black iron, a bit bulky, and looks ordinary.
He still remembers that this thing was the trophy he got when he killed the remnant of the Kuiyin Sect, Jiupao Taoist.
Mustard seed bags are commonly used by monks in the lower realm. Compared with mustard seed bags, the space of Qianjun Ring has an advantage. However, Qin Sang later killed enemies and obtained some mustard-type magical weapons, many of which were better than the Qianjun Ring, but he never replaced the Qianjun Ring.
The reason is that only Qianjun Ring can store the bone flute that carries the "Celestial Demon Refining"!
Qin Sang tried it, putting the bone flute into other mustard-type magic weapons, and it would pop out immediately.
At first, the bone flute was broken into three pieces and could not be put into the mustard bag. The three owners could only carry the bone flute with them. Only Qin Sang could put the bone flute into the Qianjun Ring. After getting the first piece, he He can sense the bone flute on others, but others cannot sense him, so he succeeds one after another.
Qin Sang had long known that the Qianjun Ring was extraordinary, but until he broke through the Void Refining Stage, he had no idea what was so special about the Qianjun Ring. Later, he almost forgot about it, but he did not expect that the Qianjun Ring would behave strangely here.
Whose tomb is this, and why did it arouse Qian Junjie’s reaction?
Qin Sang's eyes flashed, and he secretly thought that he had just made a guess based on the Shimen Ancient Forbidden City before, but it had not been confirmed. I am afraid that this place may not be the tomb of the ancient witch clan.
He remembered that Qianjun Ring seemed to have been brought out from Ziwei Palace by Patriarch Kuiyin. Since it is a thing of Ziwei Palace and is related to Qianjun Ring, there is a high probability that this place is also closely related to Ziwei Palace.
"Could it be the fragments that fell off from Ziwei Palace?"
Qin Sang's thoughts were racing as he stared at the wall, trying to find clues from the murals. At the same time, I carefully recalled the scene when Ziwei Palace ascended. It seemed that I did not see any similar buildings at that time.
Suddenly, Qin Sang's heart moved, and he suddenly realized that although the mausoleum outside was damaged, it was the least damaged compared to the fragments of the sword pavilion he had seen before.
There must be a powerful formation firmly protecting this place, far stronger than the Ancient Forbidden City on Tianshan Mountain, to resist the turbulent flow of space!
Qin Sang thought of a possibility, "Is it some core place in Ziwei Palace?"
When ascending, the entire Ziwei Palace experienced violent shocks, and the core area may not be separated.
Qin Sang gently rubbed the Qianjun Ring with his fingers, looking at the back of Young Master Xin without saying a word, wondering how the Xin family found out. ()
