Xiang Que felt the fluctuation of life from the stone statue. He stretched out his trembling hand with a shocked expression and touched the face of the stone statue.
Although he didn't know which ancestors of Molu Mountain these stone statues belonged to, or whether any of them came from the Ancient Well Temple in Zhongnan Mountain.
Xiang Que was shocked, as if he couldn't believe the scene he saw. For some reason, the twenty-one ancestors were petrified here, and there were still fluctuations of life inside the stone statues. This was obviously when they were alive.
It was petrified.
Then it stood here for who knows how many years.
Not to mention standing here motionless for who knows how many years, even if you let people live on this isolated island with no contact with the outside world, people will collapse after a long time.
Therefore, you can imagine how tortured it must be for these people to exist in this form for a long time. It will drive people crazy.
Xiang Que gasped with a dry throat, his eyes were red, and his heart felt as if he had been strangled with a knife.
Li Qiuzi sighed. Although he had nothing to do with these people, he could understand how painful and helpless the petrified people were. This was really worse than death.
When Xiang Que was feeling sentimental, Li Qiuzi turned his eyes from these stone statues one by one. After turning his eyes back and forth a few times, he suddenly paused and said softly "Eh" in his mouth.
Lu was puzzled.
Li Qiuzi discovered that although these stone statues all looked the same, there were still some differences. That is, these twenty-one stone statues looked full of wind, frost and vicissitudes of life. It was obvious that they had stood here for countless years.
But if you observe them one by one, you will find that the weather and vicissitudes of life on each stone statue are different, which means that they stood here at different times and came here in different eras.
"There is a detail, have you noticed it?" Li Qiuzi asked with a frown.
"What?" Xiang Que asked in a hoarse voice after a long while before he regained his composure.
"These stone statues seem to have been petrified in different years. Some were obviously very early, and some were a bit closer to now. They were not petrified at the same time."
"Look at this one..." Li Qiuzi pointed to a stone statue on his left and said: "The signs of weathering on the stone statue are not particularly obvious, and there are not many holes. However, on the stone statue over there, there are all weathered
It’s almost riddled with holes.”
Xiang Que frowned. If Li Qiuzi hadn't reminded him, he would not have noticed this. This detail is not very obvious, and unless he is a very careful person, he would not have noticed it.
All Xiang Que's thoughts just now turned into a river of sadness. Li Qiuzi was an outsider, so he naturally had the intention to observe.
"It's really like that!" Xiang Que looked at it intently, and his heart gradually calmed down.
Li Qiuzi said: "Since the time of being petrified is different, early and late, it illustrates a problem. Those later ancestors knew about being petrified, but they still came here one after another. That is
Doesn’t it mean that they are willing?”
Xiang Que looked at Li Qiuzi in disbelief. Although what the other party said was unbelievable, it was indeed possible.
If it wasn't voluntary, they could just leave. In fact, they didn't even think about how to release the people who were previously petrified, so it was more likely that they would be willing.
Xiang Que took a long breath, and really couldn't figure out what these ancestors were doing. They knew that they would become stone statues, and then they would stand here alone for a long time. What were they trying to do?
Xiang Que's sadness went away along the river for the time being, because it seemed that these ancestors were not passively petrified here. If they were voluntary, then the sadness would naturally be much smaller.
Humans are all emotional animals, and emotions come and go quickly.
Xiang Que took a deep breath slowly, and then spit it out. His chest felt much more comfortable. Li Qiuzi said softly: "If it's resources, what's the reason? From my understanding,
This kind of situation usually involves wanting to guard something..."
Xiang Que took a deep look at him and said, "I brought you here right. If I were alone, I would probably be so confused that my head would be numb, but with you, I would be fine."
You can help me solve my problems. You have a really good mind and qualifications."
Li Qiuzi said proudly: "Otherwise, how could He De, an ordinary disciple of Longhu Mountain back then, be able to break through the realm and enter the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and then ascend to the immortal world?"
Xiang Que curled his lips and said, "Have you not benefited from me and absorbed that ray of heavenly destiny from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor? Otherwise, your old tomb might have been bulldozed."
"Then I have to be this good..."
After his mentality was slightly corrected, Xiang Que's mind became much clearer. After a few words with Li Qiuzi, he thought that since there were life fluctuations in the stone statue, people might still be alive, so he could try it.
Communicate with these ancestors?
This is not difficult for Xiang Que.
Xiang Que tentatively sent his spiritual consciousness into the stone statue, and then wisp after wisp slowly spread all over the body of the stone statue.
To put it bluntly, this state of petrification must be due to restrictions or laws. Ordinary magical powers may imprison a person for a period of time, but they will never be able to trap a strong person for too long.
What Xiang Que was thinking was that with his attainments in these two areas, he should be able to break it open, or at the very least, explore it.
Therefore, when his consciousness entered the stone statue, he saw dense and complicated runes as expected. But what shocked him was that these rune laws were too huge and complicated, giving him a way that he had no way of starting.
Feel.
This was the first time he had such powerless thoughts since returning from Nine Heavens Hell.
But at the same time, just when Xiang Que felt that there was nothing he could do, his consciousness seemed to detect a faint message, and then it resounded in his head repeatedly. After a long time, he finally figured out what the message was.
mean.
"Who are you!"
Xiang Que stabilized his mind. He estimated that this was the sound made by the person who was trapped in the stone statue. His consciousness quickly conveyed the message back to the other party: "I am a disciple of Gujing Temple. I come from Molu Mountain in Cave Heaven Paradise. My name is
Xiangque."
After this sentence was passed on, Xiang Que's palms became sweaty, but there was still no movement on the other end. As long as the other party replied, he could verify which side the origin of Zuzhou was.
At the same time, it can also help locate the ancestors of Mount Molu and the Immortal Emperor below Tiandao City.
