After studying the magic skin drum for a while, Luo Hong discovered that this thing was a real magic weapon. In addition to using real magic energy to activate it, it could only be activated simply at the expense of a large amount of blood essence.
This ancient demon imprisoned in the giant pit has long since dissipated the true demonic energy in his body, so when he hits the demon skin drum, his arms will wither and shrink. From this, we can also see that the consumption of using the power of essence and blood to activate this magic weapon is
How serious.
Luo Hong felt strange that this magic skin drum was obviously made by the ancient demon after he was imprisoned, using his demon servants who were also imprisoned. So what was his purpose?
It's definitely not because I've been locked up too much and want to find something to do.
Judging from the ancient demon's ruthlessness in turning himself into a desolate corpse, his original intention of refining this magic skin drum was definitely aimed at the ancient cultivators of Xutian Temple, but I don't know in what specific aspect.
Judging from the magical power of this drum just felt, it should not be used to break out of trouble.
Now was not the time to think carefully, Luo Hong put the magic skin drum into the treasure bag first, and looked at the place where the red-faced desolate corpse had been sitting cross-legged, trying to find some clues.
However, Luo Hong found no clues about the demon-suppressing place in Xutian Temple except for a strange altar covered with dark red runes, which made him a little anxious.
Unfortunately, this was the case and there was no way to force it. Luo Hong had no choice but to return. It was only a few hours before the Land of Ghost Resentment was closed. If he couldn't go out before then, he would most likely be killed by the forbidden formation of the Land of Ghost Resentment.
With a depressed mood, Luo Hong came to the edge of the giant pit and was about to jump out when he noticed something was wrong.
"Huh? The color of this pit wall...could it be?"
Luo Hong's eyes moved slightly, and he ordered the devil to fly up. After confirming that there was no harmful air restriction here, Luo Hong raised his energy and flew to a hundred feet above the giant pit. A large group of seducing spirits sensed Luo Hong's presence and killed him.
Come.
A crowd of ghosts surrounded Luo Hong's sight, and he shouted angrily:
"roll!"
At the same time, silver light shone in his pupils, and countless fine needles of spiritual thought flew out. After the demon was swallowed up, Luo Hong could finally see the huge pit below with his naked eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, there is something hidden! If it weren't for the help of the medical examination form, I almost missed it!"
Luo Hong no longer cared about the enthralling flying spirits that came after him, and landed directly in front of the pit wall. Without saying a word, he used his technique and punched the pit wall.
Suddenly, a violent explosion erupted, and a large area of the pit wall collapsed and scattered black-red powder. The scene was just like when the corpses turned into powder.
Before the black-red powder dispersed, Luo Hong saw the relief on the wall of the pit that was originally covered by it.
"As expected!"
When Luo Hong saw this, he couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly.
It turned out that when Luo Hong noticed that the color of the pit wall was the same as the color of the runes on the altar, he made a guess in his mind. After flying into the air and measuring it with a medical examination table, he discovered that the surface of the pit wall was actually uneven, with some
There are even vague outlines of the location.
Luo Hong looked at the relief and saw that what was depicted on it was a scene of a great battle. Both sides were dominated by human monks, but the image of an ancient demon appeared in one camp. Obviously, this was a battle between ancient cultivators and ancient warriors.
The battle between the devil and his servants.
Luo Hong instantly realized that the clues he was looking for were in these reliefs, and immediately smashed them along the walls of the pit, causing more reliefs to reappear.
Because he was in a hurry, Luo Hong did not look at these reliefs in detail, but he could roughly tell what these reliefs told.
Probably not long after this tragic battle began, powerful men from the spirit world and the demon world took action in person to engage in a cross-border battle with each other.
Probably because of the interface barrier, neither of them showed up. Instead, they each condensed spiritual clouds and demonic clouds that occupied half of the sky, and various magical powers rolled in the clouds.
Under the clouds, the war between the ancient cultivators and the ancient demons became more intense, and they all fought for their lives.
In the end, in the battle between magic weapons, the sword-shaped magic weapon shot from the magic cloud was defeated by a token played from the fairy cloud.
However, although the token dispersed the demonic cloud, it immediately split into two halves.
There is no doubt that what followed was a great victory for the ancient cultivators. They planted restrictions on the captured demon cultivators, threw them into a pit, and devised eternal punishments. The six ancient demons who led them were taken to the Xutian Palace.
deep.
At this point, Luo Hong stopped bombarding the pit wall and looked intently at the relief of a strange giant tower on the pit wall.
This giant tower relief occupied a large area of the pit wall. Luo Hong recognized it immediately as the inner hall of the Xutian Palace, and the small cauldron carved on the top of the giant tower relief should be the Xutian Cauldron.
If this is the case alone, this relief cannot be called "weird".
The weird thing is that this giant tower relief has a symmetrical structure from top to bottom, which means that under the common Xutian Inner Temple, there is actually a giant tower that is exactly the same as the inner temple, but is upside down!
Luo Hong instantly understood that this giant inverted tower that was not visible on the surface was the demon-sealing place of Xutian Palace, which was where he was going.
There were many reliefs that were not revealed later, but Luo Hong ran out of time. After getting the key clues, he flew out of the giant pit and rushed toward the exit.
...
Close to the gray mist of the land of ghosts and resentments, there is a place full of exotic flowers and plants, as vibrant as a fairy garden.
In the garden, there are eight exquisitely carved jade pavilions, with more than thirty monks standing or sitting.
Among them, Nascent Soul monks from the two paths of good and evil, headed by Wang Tianming and Man Beard respectively, each occupied a jade pavilion.
The monks at the core-formation stage, other than the old monster Nascent Soul, all looked a little embarrassed at the moment. Many of them looked pale, and some even had blood stains on their bodies. They were obviously seriously injured.
But no matter how injured they are, the cultivators all look happy. After all, as long as they pass through the Land of Ghost Resentment, they can pick rare elixirs from the outside world in the Xutian Secret Realm before heading to the Ice and Fire Road.
To go further.
Under the concerned eyes of the two old demons Ji Yin and Xuan Gu, Old Demon Han arrived belatedly with Zi Ling and Yuan Yao.
When Old Demon Han saw so many people here, he knew that he had passed the place of ghost resentment, and he habitually walked towards a deserted place.
Zi Ling wanted to follow him, but was entangled by the tool she used first, so she had to give up.
Yuan Yao once again covered her pretty face with a black robe. Looking at Han Li's leaving figure, she hesitated for a while and did not follow him. Instead, she found an open space near the edge and sat down to resume her consumption.
of mana.
In this way, all the cultivators were waiting in the garden with their own thoughts, waiting for the teleportation formation leading to the Xutian Secret Realm to appear, and most of the day soon passed.
At this time, Yuan Yao had already recovered his magic power, but he waited and waited until the person he expected appeared. His beautiful brows under the black robe were furrowed, with a look of surprise on his face.
No way, he can even easily deal with the King of Ghosts, so why can’t he get out of the land of ghost grudges?!
Yuan Yao looked at Han Li, who was alone in the corner and had no sense of existence. She gritted her teeth and walked over.
"Miss Yuan, now that we have left the land of ghosts and grudges, we have nothing to do with each other. Why are you here?"
This garden also has extremely powerful restrictions that suppress his spiritual consciousness. Han Li spoke in a low voice without fear of being overheard by others.
Although Yuan Yao's beauty moved him, this woman was so afraid of others knowing her identity that she was obviously a troubled person.
Han Li already had enough troubles, and he didn't want to cause another one, so his tone was rude.
"Brother Han, don't be surprised. I came here just to ask what the iron-faced monk said to Brother Han? Why hasn't he come out yet?
It stands to reason that with his ability, no ghost in the land of ghosts and grudges can do anything to defeat him."
Yuan Yao knew that she was being rude in asking, but her magic weapon was seriously damaged in the Land of Ghost Resentment. Without the support of a trustworthy monk, she really had no confidence that she could walk through the Ice and Fire Road.
But in order to preserve her senior sister's beautiful soul, she had to enter the Xutian Inner Temple, so she could only ask the question.
Han Li couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this. Could this woman have any relationship with Senior Brother Luo?
Unable to figure out the relationship between Yuan Yao and Luo Hong, Han Li naturally would not tell Senior Brother Luo that he was trying to kill the ancient demon. After pondering for a moment, he asked:
"Do you know Miss Yuan and Fellow Taoist Tiemian?"
"We are old acquaintances."
When Yuan Yao talked about this, she couldn't help but blush. After all, she almost became that man's concubine.
"That's it. Don't worry, Miss Yuan. Fellow Taoist Tiemian will come out."
Han Li knew very well what Senior Brother Luo was capable of, but he didn't believe that Senior Brother Luo would be trapped in a place where ghosts and grudges were just a matter of delaying some time.
Yuan Yao only felt that Han Li was perfunctory. However, the other party was powerful and she did not dare to push him too hard. After all, her friendship with Han Li was just a one-sided relationship.
Just when he was stamping his feet in depression, a figure wearing an iron mask walked out of the ghostly mist.
Luo Hong's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. It was not surprising that he stepped out of the land of ghosts and grudges. What was strange was that he came so late without any injuries on his body.
Could this person have slept in the land of ghosts and grudges?
Although the cultivators were doubtful, their attention was quickly diverted by the sudden appearance of a teleportation array in the open space of the garden.
Just like in the Yuzhu Hall before, after the teleportation array appeared, the two elders of Xinggong went forward to check it out, and then warned everyone that they could only stay in Xutian Secret Realm for one day at most.
During this period, everyone can pick elixirs based on their skills in the secret realm. When the day is approaching, everyone will either enter the ice and fire path to accept the test, or they will be sent back to the garden through the teleportation array again, and after a month, they can be teleported out of Xutian.
temple.
Those who exceed the deadline will mysteriously disappear in the secret realm, that is, they will be killed by the forbidden magic circle in the virtual sky secret realm.
After the two elders of Xing Gong finished speaking, they walked into the teleportation array first, and after a flash of white light, no one was there.
After the Nascent Soul old monsters passed, the remaining monks in the Dan Formation stage rushed to the teleportation array. If it weren't for the fact that this was still an outer hall, with the rules of the Star Palace pressing above their heads, I'd probably have started fighting over the succession.
.
This is understandable, after all, these monks are willing to take risks and go through the land of ghosts and grudges just for the elixir in the secret realm.
Luo Hong is not in a hurry. The top elixir in Xutian Secret Realm, Nine-Tune Spiritual Ginseng, is destined to belong to Old Mo Han. He can just wait for the transaction in the future. Instead of going to the secret realm to search for the elixir, it is better to use the spiritual energy of the secret realm to restore his mana.
Soon, all the monks in the garden were gone. Old Mo Han glanced at Luo Hong and Yuan Yao strangely before walking into the teleportation array. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"Miss Yuan is waiting for me like this. She must have recognized me. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Luo Hong looked at Yuan Yao with a half-smile, looking like a master.
"Uncle Luo, you have to help Yuan Yao this time!"
As soon as Yuan Yao took off his black robe, his pretty face showed a look of tears, which made people feel heartbroken.
"Uncle Luo?"
Luo Hong twitched the corner of his mouth, coughed to calm his mood, and asked:
"How have your parents been doing these years?"
When talking about her parents, Yuan Yao, who had been pretending to cry for a long time, suddenly became more serious and said with slightly red eyes:
"A few years after Uncle Luo left, my father couldn't bear it and passed away. Then my mother also died of depression three years later. Yuan Yao has been lonely to this day."
"Hey, at least the two of them can live in the same cave after death, and may still meet each other in the next life."
Luo Hong sighed, then changed the topic and said in a deep voice:
"Miss Yuan, there are many dangers in Xutian Palace. Even if you are an old friend, I will not agree to protect you without knowing anything about it. You can understand this."
When Yuan Yao heard Luo Hong speak so seriously, she immediately put away her little tricks. After hesitating for a moment, she recounted the grudges she and her senior sister had with the Qingyang Clan.
One of the reasons why she let down her guard so quickly was because Luo Hong did not behave like a gentleman when she was young, although when she became an adult and became sensible, she thought it would be nice to be taken advantage of at that time.
The other reason is because Luo Hong also has a grudge against the Qingyang Clan, so it is impossible for him to betray her to the Qingyang Clan. This is what she learned during a soul search of the elders of the Qingyang Clan after she formed the elixir.
Naturally, Luo Hong knew all about Yuan Yao's secrets. This was her disaster and her opportunity. If she hadn't attacked and killed the young master of Qingyang Clan, she would most likely not be able to form an elixir in this life.
"Okay! Well done! It was the young master of Qingyang Clan who ordered Luo to be hunted down in the first place, which caused your parents to suffer such misfortune!"
Luo Hong laughed and said happily.
"Uncle Luo is now willing to agree to protect Yuan Yao?"
Yuan Yao's face was filled with joy, she put away the Qing Leizi she used to testify, and asked with a smile like a flower.
"Well, due to some reasons of my own, I can only take the lava path in the ice and fire path. Is it inconvenient for Miss Yuan?"
Luo Hong didn't wait for Yuan Yao's response. He coughed as he didn't want to be ignored again, and said with a solemn expression:
"Also, Miss Yuan, please stop calling Luo 'uncle'. Immortal cultivators like us have always ranked according to our cultivation level."
Yuan Yao couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle after hearing this. She didn't expect Luo Hong to care about this. Could it be...
Thinking of some charming things, Yuan Yao's cheeks couldn't help but turn a little rosy. She turned her head to avoid Luo Hong's eyes and said:
"Then...Brother Luo, let's go. Xutian Palace is only opened once every three hundred years. There are many elixirs in the secret realm that are more than a thousand years old."
Luo Hong nodded in response and followed Yuan Yao towards the teleportation array.
Looking at Yuan Yao's graceful back, Luo Hong had a slight thought. He was willing to protect Yuan Yao into the inner palace, not just for the sake of the past love.
