There was a loud noise like thunder. Li Ang and Sui Yi looked at each other, immediately concealed their presence and rushed out of the door.
Jialan Sect is built on the mountain and covers a huge area. From south to north are the mountain gate, bell tower and drum tower, corridor, lotus pond, and Tianwang Palace.
On both sides of the Tianwang Hall are the wing rooms and the guest hall (a place for handling chores, receiving guests and wandering monks from all over the world, and managing the attendance and discipline of the monks).
Behind the Tianwang Hall is a square. On the east and west sides of the square are the Medicine Master Hall, the Guanyin Hall, the Reclining Buddha Hall and other Buddhist halls. Further back is the grandest Mahavira Hall.
There are four people in the hall, standing in a triangle shape. They are Ashina Que Teqin, a disciple of Luli Academy named Jiu Fenghai.
And the prince of Zhou named Xia Jun - beside him is Li Ang's former teammate Xiao Da.
Hmm?
Li Ang was a little confused. He saw that Xiao Da had fled to the north before, so how could he appear in the ruins now?
"Don't stop me,"
Prince Zhou Xia Jun held a long sword in his hand and shouted angrily: "I am going to demolish this place today to see what is causing trouble."
"Cannot be dismantled,"
Que Teqin held the scimitar, blocked the blade in Xia Jun's hand, and said seriously: "The restrictions of Jialan Sect are extremely strange, and any action may cause unknown consequences.
At least it will cause danger, at worst it will cause changes and result in failure and withdrawal from the competition."
"What does it have to do with you if I tear mine apart?"
Xia Jun said impatiently: "At worst, I will bear the consequences of failure myself. Just stay away."
"Your Highness is wrong. We are all trapped in the ruins. We are grasshoppers on the same rope."
Jiu Fenghai paused for a moment and said, "Don't rush into internal strife for now. Let the new guests see the joke."
New guest?
Xia Jun and Que Teqin followed Jiu Fenghai's gaze and looked outside the palace. It was extremely quiet outside the palace door, with only the sound of the wind.
When Jiu Fenghai saw this, he had no choice but to say: "The two students from the academy outside the door, please show up."
After saying this, Li Ang and Sui Yi appeared from the steps in front of the palace, crossed the threshold and walked into the palace calmly, without any embarrassment of having their identities discovered.
"Li Ang?"
"Doctor Li Xiao?"
Xiao Da and Que Teqin said in surprise,
Prince Zhou Xia Jun narrowed his eyes. The word "Li Ang" has long been famous in the world, and Sui Yi's Yinghuo sword vest is also particularly famous in the Zhou Kingdom's cultivation world.
"Everyone,"
Li Ang raised his hand and asked, "What is going on here?"
Xia Jun, Que Teqin and others looked at each other and slowly put down their weapons. Jiu Fenghai sighed and introduced them.
Several of them were involved in the ruins not long ago due to various accidents.
Either being chased by demons, or looking for aliens carrying high-level bells, or accidentally stepping into overgrown ruins, triggering a ban, and when you open your eyes again, you are already here - such as the unlucky Xiao Da.
p>
After the four people arrived here, they found that they could not get out no matter what, and the sun, moon and stars were frozen in the ruins, and they did not know the specific time.
I had no choice but to explore around.
"There are no mutations dangerous enough to kill people. But we always encounter some weird situations."
Jiu Fenghai said solemnly: "For example, if you hear footsteps approaching from behind, someone whispering softly, or even screaming, you turn around and see nothing;
The food carried suddenly rotted;
The weapon I brought, the bell, disappeared inexplicably and appeared in other places for no apparent reason;"
Xia Jun said gloomily: "Just now, I met this."
He raised his right arm, and there was a half-bloody handprint on the clothes at the elbow, like a mark left by someone's strong grasp.
"My spiritual consciousness did not feel anyone approaching at all, and the alarm symbol on my body was not even triggered."
Xia Jun glanced at the Buddhist temple and said coldly: "The ruins are full of evil spirits. The academy deliberately set the restrictions like this. The joke is too much."
"Your Highness King Wu, please be patient. Dr. Xuegong will not deliberately raise the difficulty level to make it difficult for everyone."
Jiu Fenghai shook his head and said: "Any restriction has a way to be lifted. The more abnormal situations there are, the closer we are to the truth.
The mountain chief said before the trial began that there are also a large number of bells available for acquisition in the ruins.
People from outside don’t dare to come in now, so it’s a good time for us to explore the environment and get points.”
"...Hmph."
Xia Jun's eyes flashed, but in the end he still didn't say anything - if possible, he also hopes to get into the top ten and go to Zhanquan for further study, which will be of great benefit to his status in the Zhou Kingdom.
Seeing Xia Jun calm down, Jiu Fenghai breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Li Ang and Sui Yi, "How did you two come to Jialan Sect? And you were injured?"
"I met Shangguan Yangyao and the others and had a fight."
Sui Yi curled his lips and briefly told the story.
Li Ang took a few steps forward and carefully observed the structure of the Main Hall.
Compared with the Heavenly King's Hall in the south, the Jialan Sect's Mahavira Hall is larger and more magnificent, but also more dilapidated.
There are deep marks and broken bricks and tiles everywhere on the ground. Most of the beams and columns have collapsed, and there are still tiny gray fragments under some tiles.
I picked it up and took a look at the weathered bones.
Human skeleton.
"When this place was destroyed, there was indeed a fierce battle."
Li Ang raised his head and said, "But where are those corpses? If it was the Jialan Sect that was massacred by other sects in the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty, they should not be so kind and would dispose of the corpses properly."
"I know this."
Sui Yi raised his unfractured left hand and said: "When our academy discovered this ruins a hundred years ago, there were many tragic corpses on the ground.
The Academy seniors couldn't bear to see the bones exposed, so they burned them during the archaeological process."
"Burn?"
Li Ang's eyes twitched, "I can't bear to see the bones exposed, shouldn't I bury the corpses?"
"Maybe there will be resentment? Burning the remains of practitioners is actually the best way to deal with it."
Sui Yi said confidently: "I have arranged this for myself. When I die, I will let my relatives and friends gather together and let them throw my coffin into the bonfire. Then hold a bonfire party, barbecue and drink.<
/p>
Maybe, after I die, I can be a matchmaker again and match up one or two pairs of boys and girls at the bonfire party.
Matchmaking, reincarnation, reincarnation, all in one go."
...Then you really died a glorious death.
Li Ang said speechlessly: "If the bones are not burned, then I can still determine the cause of death by identifying the bone injuries. If it is burned, there is nothing I can do.
Well..."
He scanned the hall and quickly found the first doubt.
"Why are there four Buddhas in the temple?"
