Chapter 339: Is it still possible to play the leapfrog challenge like this?(1/4)
"Tianzun, half a month ago, some strange things happened on Jixi Road where the disciple is guarding."
In the Corpse Puppet Sect, Purple Luo Peak, in a blue sky, an old man with a white beard wearing a purple robe opened his eyes.
"Jixi Road?" When Ziluo Tianzun heard it at first, he didn't realize what kind of place it was. Because Jixi Road is not an important place at all. The Corpse Puppet Sect and the Siji Sect jointly manage this place purely because Calabash Sky is a passage leading to the Great Zhou Dynasty. "What's weird about Jixi Road?" Ziluo Tianzun asked. There are some Daoxuan Dan medicinal materials grown there. Although they are worth some money, they are not much.
"My disciple is guarding Jixi Road. In the past half month, I can always hear some sounds." The guardian who reported the report was as skinny as a stick. He thought carefully: "Occasionally, I can still see some illusions."
"You mean mirage?" Ziluo Tianzun glanced at the map and showed a trace of contemplation.
"Yes." The protector nodded, then shook his head. "The disciples and others can see those ancient people. They seem to be living, practicing, and meditating inside."
"At first, the disciples thought it was a mirage, but gradually, we could hear sounds. These sounds seemed to contain some kind of great truth. Many disciples had different reactions after hearing it."
"Some people's skills have greatly improved, and some people suddenly become obsessed with it. Some even become crazy and worship a certain place every day."
"The disciples asked those people, and some of them said they heard someone preaching to them..."
"Oh?" Ziluo Tianzun looked serious. Such a place fits the description of some ancient monasteries. Could it be that Jixi Road was once a place of cultivation?
After listening carefully, Ziluo Tianzun nodded: "Very good, you can go down."
After rejecting the protector, Ziluo Tianzun called two of his disciples, True Lord Yousha and Fairy Yunshui.
"Master." Two Taoists, a man and a woman, arrived quickly.
Zi Luo Tianzun then told the two disciples about Ji Xidao.
"Ancient dojo?" Both Zhenjun Yousha and Fairy Yunshui's eyes lit up, and they immediately thought of inheritance and treasures.
Ziluo Tianzun said:
"Since Longting and his party two hundred years ago, our Corpse Puppet Sect suffered heavy losses in Guting King City, and our lineage has been greatly marginalized." "Now Jixi Road is an opportunity, I decided to take you two with me. Go explore."
If Zhao Xing were here, he would surely recognize that this is the real Zi Luo, You Sha and Yun Ji from back then.
The three of them had entered the Dragon Court and tried their best to reach Guting King City, but in the end, Zhao Xing dug up all the Corpse Puppet Sect's treasury.
As a result, the three people gained very little from Longting, which was not enough to make up for these losses. In the past two hundred years, Ziluo Peak's resources have been greatly reduced.
However, the current Ziluo Master has also been promoted to Ziluo Tianzun, and his two disciples, You Sha and Yun Ji, have also been promoted to first-class real people, but Yun Ji has changed their Taoist title.
Because she had exploded a corpse, this was seen as a bad omen.
"Master, I remember that some people in Jixi Road are from the Siji Sect. Do you want to..." Yousha made a gesture of wiping his neck.
If it is certain that a treasure has been discovered, then secretly kill the disciples of the Siji Sect first and seize the place.
Anyway, Jixi Road is not very important. The people stationed there by the Siji Sect are just ants. It doesn't matter if they are killed. At most, they will pay some money. If it doesn't work, you can still find someone to take the blame.
"No need." Ziluo Tianzun said, "There is quite a stir about the strange phenomena in Jixi Road. Since we have a protector coming back to report it, there must be strong people in the Siji Sect who know about it."
"If you don't see the benefits, there is no need to get into trouble." Siji Sect, Tianmen Temple. Siji God looked at the two elders below, "The people of the Corpse Puppet Sect are not that easy to mess with."
"Most of their disciples have second bodies. If one of them is gone, the news will still leak out."
"Four Elephants and Five Peaks, you two go and find out."
"Follow your orders." The Four Elephants Heavenly Lord and the Five Peaks Heavenly Lord disappeared immediately.
Because of the abnormality in Jixi Road, both sects immediately sent strong men to check. However, the first to arrive were Zhao Xing, Ye Yukong, King Shenluo, Ji Yun, and Cui Chengzhi.
The highest level of manpower stationed in Jixi Road will not exceed the third level.
When the five of them entered Jixi Road, Zhao Xing used the invisibility technique, making it impossible for them to see even the members of the Corpse Puppet Sect and Siji Sect passing by.
"Be careful. Don't speak out as soon as you find something unusual, even if you don't send a message. We are almost there." Zhao Xing pointed with his hand, and the void formed words, reminding the four of them.
The four of them nodded and looked nervous.
Everyone is in the first-level life palace realm, and now we do feel something unusual.
Just half an hour ago, they entered Jixi Road and encountered an area where they could not speak or even transmit sound.
How do you know? Ye Yukong had a first-aid bandage on his head. Because Ye Yukong spoke, he was the first to be hit. Because he violated the rules, he was suddenly struck by lightning.
Thunder appeared silently and suddenly. He had no idea how it was formed. Even Zhao Xing noticed it was already too late.
Fortunately, this thunder of rules is not very strong. It is just "No loud noises allowed". Ye Yukong beeped quietly, but it was not to the point of killing him.
But his head was also knocked unconscious, and Ye Yukong's flowing hair was burned away.
The Shinra King was a little unjust, so he answered with "Yeah", and was also hacked. Fortunately, the Shinra King was bald, so he didn't have such trouble.
But now both of them have learned the lesson and no longer even dare to beep quietly. They always keep a trace of attention on Zhao Xing, waiting for his instructions.
They dared to walk where Zhao Xing had walked, and they had to imitate Zhao Xing even in their walking movements.
It's like a bunch of cats walking in the snow, and the cat behind is walking on the footprints of the cat in front. "It should be right in front." Zhao Xing looked ahead.
A high hillside suddenly appeared ahead, and a stone gate protruded from the mountain.
The stone gate has long been dilapidated, with many broken cracks appearing, and some eaves and corners of the palace walls are exposed around the stone gate.
The once exquisite carvings on the door and palace walls are now blurred, and only some weird outlines that look like humans but not humans can be vaguely seen.
Their eyes seem to have deep gazes peering at every living creature that approaches.
The door frame was made of black boulders, covered with a kind of vines that exuded a faint light. These vines seemed to be alive, twisting from time to time and making a slight rustling sound.
"This is it, Jixi Dojo." Zhao Xing stretched out his hand to signal the five people behind him to stop, and slowly followed him to the ground.
[Wait here, I will send my clone to check.]
[Ji Yun, if there is any change in the Tianyun Gold List, you must tell me, especially if some ancient characters suddenly appear on the Gold List, you must retreat as quickly as possible. 】
Ji Yun wrote nervously in the air: [The sudden appearance of ancient characters? What does it mean? The names on the Tianyun Gold List all represent people's names. Could resurrection from the dead happen here? 】
Zhao Xing did not answer immediately, but used the surrounding vegetation and materials to build dozens of high-level flying straw men.
Now his straw man clone can cast spells, and use the spell [Every Tree and Grass Are Weapons] to create some non-top straw men.
"Sift~"
The surrounding black vine branches formed a grass figure. It flew up silently and headed towards the stone door in front.
It was very strange. The faces of the straw men were ferocious, and the overall color was black. In addition, they were in a strange place, and Zhao Xing did not answer Ji Yun's questions, which made several people who were used to seeing life and death feel a little scared.
After Zhao Xing sent a straw man to explore the interior of the incomplete dojo, he turned back and stretched out his hand to write, answering Ji Yun's question.
[Yes, these two factors, the tide of vitality and the incomplete dojo, have made some of the illusions in the past become real. 】
[Let us tentatively call this thing formed by the changes in heaven and earth, "Heaven Puppet".]
[The Heavenly Puppet appeared based on the incomplete dojo. The Tao Yun in the dojo still retains the will of the master. The Heavenly Puppet will accommodate the will of the former Jixi Taoist, and may also include his powerful regular disciples. This is called Ground puppet.]
[If a name you don’t understand appears on the Tianyun Gold List, it means that the Heavenly Puppet and the Earthly Puppet have appeared.]
[You don’t have to think too much, just retreat, otherwise you will be in trouble once you are targeted.]
Hearing this, King Shinra was a little excited. God made a puppet? What a wonderful workmanship.
He couldn't help but yearn for it. If he could study the puppets of heaven and earth, he might really be able to break through the realm of rules here!
Zhao Xing's soul is so sharp that he immediately noticed King Shinra's excitement: [Shenra, don't think about it. You can't catch the puppets of heaven and earth. Don't think about studying them. 】
Are you kidding me, the Heavenly Puppet already possesses part of the power of the Li Dao Realm, and the Earth Puppet also possesses part of the power of the Rule Realm.
Is this something that can be studied in the small life palace realm? He was afraid that King Shinra would be happy to see him hunting.
Ye Yukong pointed fingers in front of King Shenluo: [I’m asking you something, but don’t be impulsive. It’s easy for you machine masters to be unable to move when you see a puppet. 】
King Shinra glared at him: [I heard it, mind yourself!] Zhao Xingze continued to control the clone to move forward.
Entering the dojo area, you will see a deserted square.
The ground is paved with huge bluestone slabs, but most of the slabs are now broken, and a kind of blood-red moss grows in the cracks. The moss shines with a strange light in the dark, as if it is blood seeping from the earth.
There is a huge stone platform in the center of the square. The surface of the stone platform is covered with deep scratches and dried blood. There are some broken stone statues scattered around the stone platform.
The heads of these stone statues have disappeared, leaving only the mutilated bodies. Their postures are twisted, as if they are suffering from great pain.
Some palaces have appeared in the dojo, but most of them have half collapsed.
There are many huge holes on the walls of the hall. From the holes, you can see the darkness inside, and occasionally pairs of green eyes twinkling in the darkness.
There are some strange symbols on the roof of the palace that are shining faintly. These symbols seem to be telling an ancient and terrible curse.
"Bang!"
One of Zhao Xing's clones suddenly exploded, and even his soul power was annihilated.
At the same time, Zhao Xing outside snorted coldly, shaking away the illusion in his soul. He wrote quickly:
[Rule 1: Don’t look directly into the eyes in the dark.]
[In the darkness of the dojo, there are often green or blue eyes peeking out.]
[Don’t look at them. Once you look at them, you will find that you can’t look away. These eyes will gradually invade your consciousness and let you see your most fearful images. Your soul will be swallowed up by fear, and your body will be swallowed by fear. It will be set in place.]
Ji Yun, Ye Yukong, Cui Chengzhi, and King Shenluo all memorized the words written by Zhao Xing carefully.
[Rule 2: Stay away from flashing symbols.]
[The mysterious symbols flashing on the roof and walls of the palace seem to be just a strange light and shadow, but they are actually an ancient seal. 】
