Xie Lian stepped on the ground covered in broken vermilion flowers.
He walked over slowly.
When she saw the red stains on Hua Cheng's shoulder, she wanted to brush it off for him, but she suddenly realized that it would be too intimate. She restrained herself and put her hands behind her back.
He laughed and said, "I didn't know.
Apart from bringing blood rain,
He could even summon flying petals. Interesting, interesting. "
Hua Cheng also walked towards him.
He casually brushed away the petals on his shoulder.
He also smiled and said, "This is an improvisation.
It was a new move he had just created today. Originally, there was going to be a rain of blood.
However, he suddenly remembered that his brother was also here.
Can't you blame me? Thus, he reined in his horse at the precipice and turned into a flower. As long as it's interesting. "
However,
Xie Lian didn't get drenched, but Pei Ming was. In the air, he said, "Excuse me.
Both of you.
Can you put me down first? "
A few silver butterflies flapped their wings, their phosphorescent wings cutting through the mesh.
Only then did Pei Ming manage to escape and land firmly on the ground. Xie Lian lowered his head and saw a silver butterfly resting in the center of the butterfly bone on Ling Wen's back. He asked, "San Lang, are Ling Wen and Embroidered Gown Immortal alright?"
Hua Cheng replied, "Don't worry. I had them hibernate together. "
Xie Lian asked curiously, "This Embroidered Clothed Immortal was so violent, yet you subdued him so quickly."
Hua Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "It's alright. For some reason, it doesn't seem to want to fight me. "
After muttering to himself for a moment, Xie Lian said, "That's true. When you wore it before, it couldn't do anything to you and even revealed itself. "
Meanwhile, Pei Ming walked over and said, "Let's talk later. Aren't you going to help him take off his clothes first? "
Xie Lian said, "This … … isn't too convenient, right?"
Pei Ming didn't mind. "He's a man now. What's so inconvenient about that?" As she spoke, she started to fight. However, just as he stretched out his hand to Ling Wen's collar, it was as if he was fiercely pricked by something. His expression changed greatly, and he abruptly pulled his hand back. His hand was covered in blood as he said, "These clothes! It actually bites! "
Only then did Hua Cheng say leisurely, "The Immortal in Embroidered Gown is not willing to let Ling Wen go. She can't take it off."
Pei Ming looked at the two bloody hands and said, "If something like this happens again, can you tell me earlier?"
Xie Lian warmly said, "General Pei, it's not that he didn't say it earlier, it's that you acted too quickly."
Hua Cheng giggled, "That's right."
"…"
Even though he was crippled, he was still determined. If the three of them wanted to go back the way they came, one of them had to carry Ling Wen, who looked like a man. Pei Ming took the initiative to bear this responsibility.
Pei Su and Half-moon were still in the small town, the group gathered near the Wu Yong Shrine. Seeing them return, Pei Su strode forward and said, "General, Your Highness, the murals in the shrine have disappeared!"
Pei Ming carried Ling Wen with one hand and wiped her bloody hair back with the other. "What mural?"
Half-moon's eyes widened when he saw that Pei Ming was covered in a purplish-red color. Xie Lian exchanged a few words with Pei Ming before following Pei Su back to Deities Templar. Sure enough, the original wall had become exactly the same as the other three walls that had been burnt by the fire, as if there had never been any murals.
Hua Cheng took his hand off the wall and said, "That mural was created using magic."
Xie Lian nodded, "Maybe, the person who left it behind had his own concerns and didn't dare to let it exist for too long."
On the other side, Half-moon hesitated for a long time before asking Pei Ming, "Are … are you alright?"
Pei Ming looked at her and threatened, "Ask your snake, it bit me like this, is it alright?"
Pei Su opened his mouth, but he wasn't sure if he should say a few words of justice. Half-moon's eyes widened even more, she tried to explain, "But … … being bitten by a scorpion snake, it won't spread to the whole body … …"
Pei Ming waved her left hand in front of Half-moon's face, proving that she was indeed bitten. Half-moon had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry … …"
Pei Su couldn't stand it anymore, he patted her shoulder and said, "Don't, mind, it's not yours. It's the snake's bite. "
Xie Lian also couldn't stand it anymore, he said helplessly, "General Pei, can you not tease a little girl like this, at a time like this?"
However, Pei Ming's source of life was here, he used his magic power to wash off the blood stains on his body, his face was glowing again, he laughed, "Isn't a little girl meant to be teased? Moreover, Half-moon Imperial Tutor is already a few hundred years old, what kind of little girl is she, are you afraid that she will be embarrassed? "
"… …" No one wanted to talk to him anymore.
Even though Pei Su's sentence was not good, he could move freely, he took over the task of carrying Ling Wen, the group walked past the small town and continued to the next level of Bronze Cauldron Mountain.
A day later, they arrived at a small valley.
There were towering mountains on both sides of the valley, rock cliffs, and a mountain path in the middle. At this point, Ling Wen finally woke up in a daze.
Even though he was awake, he still couldn't move because the silver butterfly was still firmly perched on his back. Ling Wen noticed that he was being carried on someone's shoulder, but his expression didn't change, he only asked in confusion, "… … Why are there so many people? Why are you all here? Isn't this Bronze Cauldron Mountain? "
Pei Ming said, "That's a lot? Let me tell you, there will be more people later, some you haven't seen yet, you can gather a few tables to play cards. "
Xie Lian had the same feeling, he couldn't help but laugh. He paused, then said, "That's right, Ling Wen, Qi Ying chased after you at Pu Qi Monastery, where is he now?"
Ling Wen said, "I don't know. After entering Bronze Cauldron Mountain, there were too many inhuman creatures, Prince Qi Ying lost him. I also don't know where he is now. "
Pei Ming sighed to Ling Wen, "You actually didn't tell me that you were the one who took away Xu Li's last hope, how unkind."
Xie Lian then remembered that Pei Ming was also from Xu Li. However, he didn't seem to have any feelings for Xu Li, after all, he was only a general, not the monarch. Moreover, before ascending, he was tricked by the monarch, so there wasn't any sorrow in his words, it was mostly mockery. However, Xie Lian was worried that talking too much about Xu Li would anger Embroidered Clothes Immortal, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, "San Lang, actually, I have a question."
After entering the canyon, Hua Cheng had been observing the mountains on both sides with rapt attention. He said, "Ask."
Xie Lian said, "What is the 'Copper Cauldron' of Bronze Cauldron Mountain? Is it really a big cauldron? "
Hua Cheng smiled and retracted his gaze, saying, "Of course not. However, big brother asked at the right time. "He raised his hand and said," Just in time, we can see it now. "
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and for a moment, they couldn't help but stop their footsteps.
Xie Lian said, "… … That is … … 'Copper Cauldron'?"
Hua Cheng crossed his arms and said, "Correct."
In the depths of his pitch-black eyes, there was a mountain far, far away.
Far away on the horizon, high above the world, above the peaks of the mountain, it was a deep blue color. The peak of the mountain was surrounded by a sea of clouds and wind, and a layer of snow could be faintly seen, as if it was an ice field that never melted.
Hua Cheng slowly said, "'Copper Cauldron' is an active volcano, and also the center of the entire Bronze Cauldron Mountain. When the Ghost King is born, it will awaken. "
Xie Lian said, "The volcano will erupt?"
Hua Cheng said, "Yes. Therefore, the Ghost King of the Impasse will be accompanied by raging flames, magma, and earth-shattering disasters. "
Imagining the fiery scene that would make one's eyes red, Xie Lian became slightly absent-minded. Pei Ming said, "It's too far. At this speed, not counting the time spent fighting with the ghosts, it will still take a long time. "
Xie Lian nodded, saying, "That's why the battles in the past were like difficult childbirth."
Hua Cheng smiled, saying, "Big brother's analogy is very clever." After saying that, he suddenly stopped and said, "We're here."
"???" Xie Lian was stunned, "So fast?"
Hua Cheng said, "We're here. However, it's not Copper Cauldron, it's Wuyong Celestial Temple. "
Sure enough, in the center of the canyon ahead, a tall and crooked temple appeared.
This was the second Wuyong Celestial Temple they encountered. Xie Lian almost couldn't help but want to rub his eyes, asking doubtfully, "Is this temple real?"
He couldn't be blamed for this. In fact, almost everyone doubted whether this temple was real or not. Because its appearance was simply too abrupt.
It should not have appeared here at all. Who had ever seen a temple built on a narrow mountain path in a canyon? What kind of bullsh * t feng shui was this?
Even if they couldn't think it through and had to build it in such a place, they should at least build it on the side. However, this Wu Yong Divine Temple was built in the middle of the canyon, like a brainless bully, directly blocking the way through the canyon!
Pei Ming said in a low voice, "There must be something wrong with this. Everyone, be careful."
Ling Wen, who was on Pei Su's shoulder, struggled to raise her head, saying, "Everyone, if you don't want to enter it, you can actually fly over the cliff and walk over the walls."
Xie Lian said, "No. We have to go in and see if there are any murals. "
Hua Cheng said, "Big brother, don't worry. If you want to see it, go ahead. It's not a big deal."
With that said, everyone inexplicably calmed down, and the group slowly approached. They walked all the way to the front of the temple, but nothing unusual happened. Passing through the gate, he entered the main hall. Sure enough, the walls of this divine hall were also pitch-black after being burnt by the fire. With a light poke, a small hard fragment fell off, just like the previous divine hall.
Xie Lian had been very vigilant at first, but now that there seemed to be nothing hiding in the dark, he felt slightly relieved. Thus, he said, "Let's do it."
Not long after, the charred black "protective layer" on the wall was removed bit by bit, revealing the murals behind. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng carefully studied it together.
The contents of the murals in this temple were completely different from the previous one. They looked from the top level. On the top of the painting, a white-clothed youth was sitting on a jade couch. He had handsome features, and it was Crown Prince Wu Yong. His eyes were closed, and looking at his posture, he seemed to be meditating. However, it was not peaceful.
This Crown Prince frowned, and a few drops of cold sweat seemed to flow down his forehead. There were four people around him, and their faces were full of worry. They were the four Guardian Deities in the previous mural, and their hair and clothes were exactly the same as the previous mural. Continuing to look down, the protective layer was still slowly falling off, and had not been completely removed. Xie Lian saw a mess of red, and frowned slightly, saying, "Strange."
He stretched out his hand and touched the wall gently, and said doubtfully, "Is this mural not well preserved?"
Although he could not see clearly what was painted, he could see that the lines and colors were blurry and hazy, as if it was shrouded in a layer of light smoke. However, this mural was formed by a spell, so how could it not be well preserved like a real mural?
Hua Cheng was also looking carefully, and he frowned, saying, "Wait a little longer."
The two of them looked at each other. And when the charred black hard objects disappeared, and the painting was complete, they took a few steps back, and looked at it again side by side. When the whole painting came into view, Xie Lian's breath stopped slightly, and he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
